Chapter 160: Back to the city
"County Lord Anning? Tian Xiang, you have been named the county lord? Dr. Cai was surprised, not to mention the county lord, not everyone can afford the word tranquility alone! But according to what Princess Zhaodi said, if Mu Tianxiang saved the capital from a disaster, she could fully afford this title! Although Dr. Cai was far away from the fire in the capital, he also vaguely knew that the fire was serious, but fortunately, he was close to the river, and he thought that the officers and soldiers were pouring out one basin of water after another, but it turned out that the fire was extinguished by Mu Tianxiang.
Mu Tianxiang nodded.
And Old Man Yuan was also stunned, but now he wanted to ask more that since the princess had seen it, had Ah Ye or Huo Lingchuan seen it? But looking at Mu Tianxiang's appearance, I didn't see it, and if I saw it, it wouldn't be the one in front of me.
Soon it was dark, and when he came back from Liu's shop, Mu Tianxiang said with a smile, "I haven't come back for a long time, everyone has probably forgotten my craft, I don't know what is left in the kitchen, I'll cook for you tonight." β
Doctor Cai stroked his beard and said, "How dare you trouble the county lord of Anning to cook personally?" β
Mu Tianxiang glared at him with a smile, "Why should Doctor Cai entertain me, I heard that I am the county lord and I didn't see you salute me, you say it again, I don't follow it, wait until Liu Er comes back, let her strip off your beard!" β
Princess Zhaodi listened, "Sister Mu, do you still know how to cook?" Is it difficult? β
"What, the princess wants to learn?"
Princess Zhaodi sneered, "I'm afraid I won't be able to learn, but I can give you a hand, just cutting vegetables and the like, I still can." β
Mu Tianxiang naturally knew where Princess Zhaodi could help, but she just regarded cooking as a game, but she couldn't refute her face, and said, "Then come with me, but we are just a kitchen in the town, and it can't compare to the kitchen in the palace or your princess's mansion." β
Princess Zhaodi nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, and agreed again and again, "Don't worry, Sister Mu, I won't help, when I helped the imperial kitchen cook for the queen mother in the palace, the imperial chef praised me for doing a good job." β
Mu Tianxiang smiled in her heart, the imperial chef didn't dare to say that you didn't do well, I was afraid that it would rot into a puddle of mud, and they would have to boast about it in their mouths, and they would have to help clean up the mess in their hands.
Sure enough, when she arrived in the kitchen, Mu Tianxiang first washed off the dishes and chopsticks that Liu didn't have time to deal with at noon, and then scooped up water to wash rice and cook porridge, and was busy, Princess Zhaodi watched Mu Tianxiang busy and didn't know what to do, so she asked, "Sister Mu, what should I do?" β
"Forehead......" Mu Tianxiang thought for a while, took out a handful of green onions from the bottom and threw them to her, and said, "There is water outside, you go and wash the green onions, and then cut them into green onions for me......"
"Okay......" Princess Zhaodi happily went out to wash the onions.
However, this handful of green onions kept Princess Zhaodi busy for half an hour, and when Mu Tianxiang wanted to use green onions for cooking, she couldn't help but hold her forehead when she saw Princess Zhaodi throwing all the white ends of the green onions in the bucket, and the princess was really a princess...... It's not at all the dignity that can be compared to the modern daughters, but she is very curious, didn't Her Royal Highness the Honorable Princess see the white green onions when she was eating?
When she asked Princess Zhaodi, Princess Zhaodi's movements were stunned, and she could hang an oil bottle on her mouth and said, "I have never eaten this white place, how dirty it is to grow in the ground!" β
Mu Tianxiang rolled her eyes, what else could she say? I had to give her a thumbs up in my heart, and it was so powerful that I even knew that the green onion grew in the ground.
But fortunately, although Princess Zhaodi was busy for half an hour, the green onion was cut quite finely, and she survived a meal, Mu Tianxiang burned a total of four or five side dishes, mapo tofu, minced meat and eggplant, braised crucian carp looking up at the starry sky, as well as steamed pork ribs, and braised elbow, the most important thing is that these dishes are all fired with the seasonings she bought from Taobao in the past, and the taste is naturally not something that ancient chefs can make, even if it is the imperial kitchen in the palace, the ones made are extremely exquisite, but the taste is not a heavy one......
Princess Zhaodi smelled these, she had come from a long journey, and she just had enough to eat along the way, so where could she still take care of the taste.
At this time, I smell it, and I almost swallow my tongue into my stomach!
"Sister Mu, you are so amazing! Even better than the imperial chef in the palace! Princess Zhaodi boasted in her heart.
Outside, Dr. Cai fell and smiled proudly, "That's natural, there is no way we can't add fragrance!" Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything! If you go to the kitchen and go down to the hall, you can still make a pair, and it will be difficult to kill the students in the school! β
"Old man Cai, when did Tian Xiang become your family, it is obviously my daughter-in-law!" Old man Yuan muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, what are you sharing with each other, what is your family is my family!"
"Humph! That's okay, next time that kid from Huangxi comes back, you can also ask him to call me master! I will share half of what I have to honor you! β
"Oh, old man Yuan, I said why are you loving money more and more! Whose disciple is not the same? Didn't I drink the good wine that kid brought back? β
"Whew! The kid brought back good wine? What we add to the fragrance is good wine! As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "Tian Xiang, take out your wine tonight, the old man hasn't drunk your wine for a long time, and he's very greedy!" β
Dr. Cai also chimed in, "That's it, I'm also very greedy!" β
Mu Tianxiang smiled, "Okay, wait for me to get it, so that you can drink enough!" I'm going to get you two more appetizers! β
"Sister Mu, this is your fiancΓ©'s father, so he doesn't know where he is, doesn't he even want his own father?" Princess Zhaodi followed behind Mu Tianxiang and asked curiously.
"yes, I don't know where that bad guy went. It's not like the princess, who was a childhood sweetheart with General Huo, and now it's all over the place. β
Princess Zhaodi blushed, "Brother Lingchuan went to war again, and the marriage has not been announced, and the eight characters have not been announced, where have you done it, but I am afraid that ...... There will be twists and turns in the middle......"
"I hope the princess can find a good husband."
When Mu Tianxiang brought the wine, Old Man Yuan looked at the wine strangely and muttered, "It's really strange, I'm almost digging three feet into the ground in this house, why can't I find this wine?" β
Mu Tianxiang said, "Uncle Yuan, what did you say?" β
Old man Yuan hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." β
At this time, the Liu family returned with Liu'er, and Liu'er really grew a lot taller, but she hadn't seen it for more than a month, and she was about half a little finger long, but a few years old, you can clearly see that the tall figure will definitely be a rare beauty embryo in the future.
"Aunt Tim Xiang!" As soon as Liu Er entered the door, she pounced on Mu Tianxiang's body and hugged her waist affectionately.
Mu Tianxiang closed the broken hair behind her head, "Liu Er, do you miss me?" β
Liu Er nodded again and again, "I have been thinking about my aunt for a long time, but my mother said that my aunt may have to stay in the capital in the future, and I can only come back to see Liu Er occasionally, is what my mother said true?" Auntie will be in the capital in the future? And isn't it fun to have a good capital? β
Mu Tianxiang touched her head lovingly and said, "What my mother said is true, my aunt may have to stay in the capital all the time in the future, but my aunt wants to bring Liu Er and your mother to the capital together, okay?" β
Liu Er jumped up happily, "Okay, okay, Liu Er heard that the things in the capital are delicious!" β
Mu Tianxiang looked at Liu's family, this was just her unilateral decision, I don't know what Liu's thought, and at this time, Liu's face had a gentle smile, she looked at Mu Tianxiang, and did not answer, "Why don't we eat first, this just came back and said goodbye, and it was inevitable that my heart would be panicked." β
"It's fine." Mu Tianxiang sat next to Old Man Yuan with Liu Er's hand, and the two had already drunk the wine bottle, Mu Tianxiang shook her head helplessly.
And Princess Zhaodi sat opposite Liu'er, and when Liu'er saw her for the first time, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Wow, whose sister is this, so beautiful!" β
Princess Zhaodi originally had a wait-and-see attitude, she was not familiar with these two people, and the child, I can't say that I like or dislike it, she is just a half-old child, but after hearing Liu Er's words, she immediately smiled, took off the bracelet on her hand and handed it to Liu Er, "My sister is out of the house, and she doesn't have any good things on her, this bracelet is a welcome gift, take it." β
Before Liu could speak, Liu Er's head shook like a rattle, "My mother said that you can't just accept other people's things." β
Princess Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You called my sister just now, how can my sister be an outsider?" β
Liu Er's little Lori was stumped, and looked at Mu Tianxiang and Liu's as if asking for help, Mu Tianxiang said with a smile, "Since it was given by a beautiful sister, then you can accept it, in the future, it will look as good as a beautiful sister, but you can't wear this bracelet in front of you, so let your mother help you keep it, okay?" Moreover, this is not a beautiful sister, Liu Er needs to call her aunt. Mu Tianxiang knows that there is such a rule in the capital, when she first sees a child, she wants to give a gift, and she just wants to have a bracelet, so Princess Zhaodi really doesn't have to take it to heart, and if she doesn't accept it, she will refute her face.
Liu Er nodded happily and said, "But it's indeed a beautiful sister......
Princess Zhaodi smiled even more happily, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Liu Er can dare to shout whatever she wants." β
Liu Er said happily, "Thank you, beautiful sister." β
Mu Tianxiang "......"
Is this discrimination? Obviously only a few years older, one is an aunt, and the other is an older sister, and sure enough, beautiful people are lethal to everyone......
Princess Zhaodi didn't care about this, now she only had the food in front of her eyes, except for those few dishes, there were only white flour steamed buns and gruel, but she felt that this was worthy of the delicious food in the world......
Chapter 161: Eating
You must know that whether she is in the palace or in her princess's mansion, there are no twenty or thirty dishes for dinner, as well as staple food, snacks, and dozens of each, even then she feels that she is not happy enough to eat, there are many rules in the palace, and each dish is not more than five dishes will be withdrawn, and if the royal brother eats, but three will be removed, sometimes it is difficult to meet a favorite dish, and before eating two bites, it will be withdrawn.
So for Princess Zhaodi, it is already excellent to be able to sneak out and go to the restaurant for a meal.
Smelling the fragrant fragrance in front of her, Princess Zhaodi picked up a piece of pork ribs, the ribs were fluffy and soft, just right for eating, and the taste of the ribs was ...... Princess Zhaodi wanted to break her head and didn't know how Mu Tianxiang did it, it seemed to be completely different from the ones she had eaten before! It's like opening the door to a new world!
Princess Zhaodi ate out of control......
Little Lori Liu'er was stunned for a moment, she used to like to eat food made by Mu Tianxiang, but since Mu Tianxiang left, she hadn't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time, and now she can finally eat it, and she only ate two pieces of ribs...... The rest went into the mouth of the beautiful sister.
Little Lori swallowed her saliva and said, "Beautiful sister, is the capital very poor?" I've heard people say that there are many delicious foods in the capital, why are you so hungry? β
At this time, Princess Zhaodi had just finished eating the last rib, sucked the bone seriously from beginning to end, burped and put it down, and then blushed, how could she explain this?
Fortunately, Liu's relieved her in time, "My sister has traveled a long way from the capital to come here to see you, of course I can't eat well, and the children ask so much what to do!" β
Liu Er nodded as if she didn't understand, and took an elbow to Princess Zhaodi and said, "Then sister, eat more." Then he sandwiched another piece and put it into Mu Tianxiang's bowl, "Aunt Tianxiang will also eat more." β
"Well, Liu'er also eats~"
A meal is full of warmth, to the moon on the willow tops, only two old people are still drinking wine in the yard, Mu Tianxiang's wine is finished, the two are not happy, knowing that they can't drink wine with her, so they opened the wine they bought, one person and one jar, and drank it to their mouths.
Mu Tianxiang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the two of them and shook their heads helplessly, the wine hurts her body a lot, naturally it is not that she is unwilling to take out the wine, but these two people have to inch in, and they are quite old, where can they stand such strong wine, now drink some ancient wine, Mu Tianxiang can only go with them, anyway, the wine is just the same as sake.
In Liu's room, she was removing the makeup on her face, and Liu Er took a brush left over from Mu Erya, dipped it in water and drew on the ground in a similar manner.
There was a knock outside the door, and Liu stopped what he was doing and said, "Which one?" β
"Sister-in-law, it's me, Tianxiang." Mu Tianxiang stood outside the door, holding a pot of moon cakes and pastries made by the chef of Huangxi Fuzhong.
"Tian Xiang, why did you come to me so late?" opened the door and said to Mu Tianxiang, who was standing at the door, "Come in and sit down." β
Mu Tianxiang handed the pastry in her hand to Liu'er, and Liu'er happily hugged the pastry to the side to eat.
"Sister-in-law, how are you doing with Wangjun Pavilion recently?"
"With Miss Murong's help, business is naturally good, but if you don't come back, you won't have anything to sell." She turned around and took out the ledger from the drawer and said, "The accounts of the more than a month you have been gone are here, take a look." β
Mu Tianxiang took the account book but didn't open it immediately, but put it aside and said, "Sister-in-law, I can naturally trust you in doing things, you know that I came to you, not to say this." β
She sighed again and said, "The Wangjun Pavilion in the town naturally makes money, in the past, these silver coins were already astronomical for you and me, but now...... It's just a drop in the bucket, it's just a small town, where can you earn it again? So I decided to open this store in the capital, but now that the capital has just suffered a big disaster, I am going to wait until the first snow falls, and then call it open, as the saying goes, the snow is a good year, I hope we can also have a good intention. β
Liu Shi sat under the lamp, her eyebrows lowered, she didn't know what to think while listening to her, she knew that the shops in the capital were naturally more important than here, Mu Tianxiang was kind to her, let her eat well, get dressed, and save money for Liu Er......
If in the past, she took Liu'er to the city with her without saying a word, but now, ...... Her premonition became stronger and stronger, and most of the people who saved her that day were Chen Daguang, but for some reason he refused to show up. Looking at Mu Tianxiang, she slowly spoke, "Sister Tianxiang, a few days after you left, a very important guest came to the store, bought a lot of things, I was in a hurry and didn't take care of Liu'er, and when I was busy for a while, I found that Liu'er was gone, so I looked everywhere, but I happened to see Liu'er alone took the copper plate to the opposite side to buy candy to eat, and when she was about to call her, a powerful carriage came out of the opposite side, and went straight to Liu'er, I was so frightened that I was paralyzed, who knew that the person suddenly came out of nowhere, hugged Liu Er...... If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Liu Er would ......"
Liu couldn't cry as she spoke, she immediately wiped her tears and continued, "Although I can't see his face, although his figure is strong, his eyes are the same as before, I can be sure that it must be him!" So, Tian Xiang, I will always guard him here, and one day he will definitely be willing to come out! β
Liu Shi excitedly held Mu Tianxiang's hand, and Mu Tianxiang looked at her silently, Chen Daguang ...... She has also seen it, but for some reason, she has been hovering around her wife and daughter, unwilling to appear...... There must be something unspeakable......
Looking at Liu's heartbroken appearance, Mu Tianxiang suddenly remembered that Huang Xi and Dr. Cai must know the reason!
Even if it wasn't for the Liu family to go to the capital to help him with peace of mind, this matter should be resolved! The Liu family has waited for him for so many years, and Liu Er often calls his father, such a wife and daughter, no matter what the reason, they should come out to meet!
Mu Tianxiang secretly made up her mind in her heart, so she comforted the Liu family and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, since he is secretly protecting you all the time, there must be something unspeakable, you wait with peace of mind, go to the capital, put aside for the time being, this town, I'm afraid I will have to stay for a while, don't be too sad, go to bed early." β
Mu Tianxiang patted her on the shoulder, chatted with Liu Er for a few more words, and then turned around and walked out.
Back in the room, Mu Tianxiang had no intention of washing, and shouted outside the door, "Black shadow!" β
"Here, what do you want Miss Tim Xiang to order?"
Mu Tianxiang beckoned, and the black shadow put his ear to it, then nodded, and turned back to his room.
After resting for the night, Mu Tianxiang went to Wangjun Pavilion with the Liu family early on the second day, Murong Xue'er came very early, and at this time, the store was not yet served, Murong Xue'er saw her, slowly bowed, and said, "Congratulations to the county lord of Anning." β
"Miss Murong is really well-informed." Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"The county lord said that he laughed, the fire was mentioned in the letter from home, so the county lord was mentioned, so Xue'er guessed that it was Miss Mu You, if it was someone else, I would never believe it, if it was a girl, I would believe it."
After Murong Xue'er finished speaking, she saluted again.
Mu Tianxiang helped her up, and the Liu family next to her was surprised when she heard it, "Tianxiang, have you been named the county lord?" β
"Yes, Sister-in-law Liu, I'm just a fluke, identity is nothing to me, you are all the same as before, Mu Tianxiang or Mu Tianxiang."
Liu Shi was happy for her in his heart, and said with a smile, "Okay! But Tianxiang, you have made such a great contribution, it's time for a treat! β
"Good, good! Just follow my sister-in-law's! Mu Tianxiang said angrily.
The customers in Wangjun Pavilion are full of people, almost all the ladies and ladies in the county have used the things of Wangjun Pavilion, and even the neighboring ones have come by carriage, this business is the first class around!
Princess Zhaodi slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, she saw Mu Tianxiang come to the store early, so she finally groped to find here, and her mouth was about to hang up the oil bottle.
"Sister Mu, why don't you call me when you get up?"
"Princess Zhaodi has been trekking for days, isn't it good to sleep a little longer?"
"Oh no, who knows what you're going to have fun playing at this time? You said you'd take me to cut pigweed and go fishing? You can't be fooled! β
Mu Tianxiang "......"
She just said it casually, who knew that Princess Zhaodi could really follow her to this poor and remote place, and she couldn't hide now.
"Okay, don't be impatient, princess, I'll just come back, I'll take you there when the work in the store is clear." Mu Tianxiang said helplessly.
"This is your shop?" Princess Zhaodi looked left and right after entering the door, she only knew that Mu Tianxiang was very good at makeup, but she was born beautiful, and she never thought of begging her to paint, but when she thought of Yang Guifei's appearance, she was itchy here.
Although she was very reluctant to admit it, she still knew in her heart that Yang Guifei was indeed very beautiful and beautiful...... It's almost the same as her, anyway, she insists on not admitting that Yang Guifei is more beautiful than her!
She picked up an eyebrow pencil and said, "These are all the makeup you used for that old woman that day?" β
Mu Tianxiang said, "What an old woman, Yang Guifei is your serious imperial sister-in-law!" You can't shout that. β
Princess Zhaodi sneered, "What imperial sister-in-law? She's just a concubine, and when she climbs to the queen's position one day, you want me to call her sister-in-law! Not to mention...... The Yang family doesn't have a good thing, the old woman used to have a crush on Brother Lingchuan, and when she saw that there was no hope, she married my imperial brother, and her niece ...... It's a toad who wants to eat swan meat again, and I'm fighting for Brother Lingchuan, hum, I want her to look good! Princess Zhaodi was filled with righteous indignation as she spoke.
