Chapter 302: The Exquisiteness of the Touguo Cake

When Yao Xianggong saw this excerpt, the excerpt had been approved back to the ministry, Yao Xianggong picked up the fold and twisted his eyebrows after reading it, put it down and picked it up, back and forth a few times, sleeved up the fold, and went out to find the four princes.

The fourth prince looked cold and impatient, his face was not very good, Yao Xianggong stood at the door and watched for a while before entering, he always felt that the fourth master had something on his mind for a while, and even in government affairs, he was often absent-minded, but he probed many times openly and secretly, as soon as this topic was mentioned, the fourth master did not have a word, a cold and scary face, Yao Xianggong sighed secretly, now is an extremely critical juncture, the so-called time is also fate, you can't think about it, and do your best to listen to the destiny of heaven.

Several officials waiting in the house of the four princes saw Yao Xianggong come in, and hurriedly withdrew first, Yao Xianggong saw that everyone had withdrawn from the upper room, and handed it to the four princes with his sleeves and said: "The fourth master has approved this excerpt of Ji Tianguan of the Ministry of Officials, and I always feel a little inappropriate." ”

"What's wrong?" The fourth prince took the fold and opened it and glanced at it, Yao Xianggong frowned and said: "There is nothing wrong with letting Xu Sihai and Zhao Mingqian stay in Ningqianfu until the end of the year, but I always feel that it is not so simple, or send another person over, escort Ding Jinjing back, and also take Leng Mingsong back to the capital, and say that the medical treatment will be extended, so as not to leave the Ningqian Mansion with poor medicine and leave future troubles, and quickly close the case of Ding Jinjing and Leng Mingsong." ”

"Well," the fourth prince responded, and was about to agree but frowned: "You don't need to be escorted back, just end the trial on the spot, this matter is not in your charge, you are more in charge of Zhao Mingqian's affairs last time, Fan Xiang mentioned it to me once, now in Zhongshu Province, Jiang Xiang and Fan Xiang are mostly standing together, you are not good to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, I have written down this matter, and I will say hello to Fan Xiang when I turn around." Yao Xianggong's face was blue and red for a while when the words of the fourth prince said, hearing this, did the fourth master accuse him of being nosy? Yao Xianggong's heart was uncomfortable for a while, if it weren't for him, he would be guilty of taking care of these things?

Seeing that Yao Xianggong didn't answer, the fourth prince turned his head to look at him and said, "I know that you are always careful for the sake of the country and society, and you have worked hard for you." When Yao Xianggong heard this, he was in a much better mood, and he hurriedly smiled and arched his hand, and said goodbye to the four princes.

In November, Li Tian's illness recurred and I don't know how many times, but it finally improved slightly, and Huang Ming was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and sleep at night.

Li Tian's illness is gradually improving, but his taste is much more picky than before, this Huang Ming is not very relieved, how can the nobles not be picky? After giving the four princes a few times, seeing that the four princes said to him that Li Tian wanted to eat and buy something, he never rejected half a word, and he had a bottom in his heart, and he did not report to the four princes one by one for daily purchases, after all, it was inconvenient to report back and forth.

In the morning, in a green oil vermilion wheel car on Dongdazhi Street, Lin Kezheng pulled the handkerchief hard and complained to Yu Yaofang: "...... What happened to Tian Tian? One moment he said that his body was not good, and the other time he said that the disaster avoidance star didn't need to avoid us, right? We're not outsiders! ”

"Why not an outsider? Is your surname Lee or my surname Lee? Yu Yaofang interrupted Lin Ke's complaint, and Lin Ke kicked Yu Yaofang lightly: "It's not an outsider!" I don't have the surname Li, but compared to the surname Li, I am much closer to Tian Tian! I always feel that Tian Tian is not sick, nor is she avoiding any disaster, she must have something to hide from us! Yu Yaofang's heart trembled several times by Lin Ke's assertion, and she turned her head awkwardly, opened the curtain with her fingers, and frowned while pretending to look outside to hide the unnaturalness: "Where do you want to go!" What can Tian Tian hide from us? What did she hide from us? ”

"Yes, I think so too, the three of us have always known everything, but this time it's really incomprehensible, I haven't seen Tian Tian for so long! Yaoyao, let me tell you, my aunt said that she felt that Tian Tian must be pregnant, and said that those careful people, when they were just pregnant and didn't sit on the fetus, they didn't say it outside, and they didn't see outsiders, I think it's about the same, what do you say? But Tian Tian's pregnancy shouldn't be hidden from the two of us! Lin Ke complained again in the end, Yu Yaofang raised her eyebrows, looked at Lin Ke and smiled bitterly: "Your aunt thinks so much." ”

"Well, my aunt also confessed to me, saying that now the capital is not peaceful, and the official family has not come back from recuperating outside the city, if Tian Tian is pregnant, she must be very careful, Ah Niang said that Tian Tian will not see me, maybe she is afraid that I will be stupid and have no heart, in case people take advantage of it, and bring something that is not conducive to pregnancy into the palace of Jinning County, then it will be bad, do you say that my mother thinks too much?"

"You think so too?" Yu Yaofang stared at Lin Ke and asked rhetorically, Lin Ke shook his head like a drum: "My aunt has a lot of eyes!" She would think like this, Tian Tian wouldn't think like that! If Tian Tian doesn't see me, it must be for my good! Alas, Yaoyao, I'm just worried about Tian Tian, what do you say happened to her? Why do I always feel like my heart is in turmoil? ”

"What can Sister Tian do?" Yu Yaofang's tone was very relaxed and exaggerated: "How smart she is, what can she do?" Tell me, what do you think can happen to Tian Tian? ”

"That's right, Tian Tian is so smart, only she calculates others, who has the ability to calculate her? Alas, I haven't seen her in a long time, I've never seen her in such a long time! Forget it, don't talk about it, do you go to Bathhouse Lane? The sun is so high, you can't buy it any later! Tian Tian has always only eaten this pot of chestnut cake steamed by Granny Hong! I didn't buy it yesterday. ”

"The front is the bathhouse alley, I can definitely buy it today, how many people know that only the first pot cake is steamed by Granny Hong? Besides, we explained again yesterday, let Hong Da keep the first pot cake for us, and we will give him ten more dollars. Seeing that Lin Ke changed the topic, Yu Yaofang couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly followed Lin Ke's words and smiled.

While the two were talking and laughing, the car slowly stopped, Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke put on their hats and got out of the car, the Hong family's pastry shop had just opened, Lin Ke pointed to the steaming cage drawer and said in a crisp voice: "Did the first pot cake come out?" It's all wrapped for me. ”

"Back to the two little ladies," Hong Da, the shopkeeper of the cake shop, hurriedly responded with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, this pot cake has just been bought by this master, and now I'm waiting for it, and I'll take it away after a while." ”

"What?!" Lin Ke was anxious: "Didn't I confess to you yesterday?" I took all the cake this morning this morning, I gave me more money, and you actually sold it to someone else? You don't have integrity in business? ”

"No, little lady, listen to me, this master comes to buy my pot cake every day, I originally negotiated with him to give you half of it, but this master refuses, little lady, you see, my pot cake and two pot cakes are the same cake, and you don't have to buy this pot ......"

"Hmph, you don't know the difference between the first pot and the second pot?"

"I know I know, little lady, my wife made an extra pot today, you see ......" Hong Da explained vigorously, Lin Keli ignored him, turned to look at the brocade guard who was standing straight next to him, as if he hadn't heard the two of them talking, and said: "I ordered this cake yesterday, I have something important to use this cake, I will give you ten taels of silver, you can buy two pots of cake!" The brocade-clothed guard slowly turned his head and leaned at Lin Ke condescendingly, and his words were extremely concise: "My wife only needs the head pot." ”

"Twenty taels is always okay, right? Thirty taels! Lin Ke was slanted by the brocade guard's heart rose, the price code increased higher and higher, Hong Da who only listened was dumbfounded, but the brocade guard didn't look at Lin Ke anymore, only stared at Hong Da urging him to hurriedly open the pot and wrap the cake, turn around and get on the horse with the cake, and walked away. Only Lin Keqi's hands and feet were cold.

Yu Yaofang didn't know what she was thinking, she looked at the brocade guard blankly through the silk veil of her hat, and the sentence 'Our lady only needs to be the head pot' kept ringing in her ears like thunder.

The difference between this Hong family's head pot chestnut cake and other cakes, she only heard Tian Tian say that at this time of year, she, Tian Tian and Lin Ke came here to buy a pot cake, and she had never met a little lady from another family to buy it. Yu Yaofang's eyes involuntarily followed the brocade guard, seeing that the brocade guard was holding a cake in one hand, pulling the reins in the other hand and turning over on the horse, the movements were smooth and vigorous, turning over the horse, the person did not sit still, and already ran with one hand shaking the reins, the horse rushed left and right in the crowd, the speed was extremely fast, and it was about to hit someone, but it was always easy to pass by in a flash, Yu Yaofang looked at the brocade guard who was galloping freely, such a guard, they couldn't find it in their house, and they couldn't find it in the palace of Nanning County, and they couldn't find someone who could have such a guard, Who could it be?

"Forget it, go back, I just remembered, A-Niang asked me to find my uncle to get the letter from the north, I forgot, you go back first, I'll go to my uncle to get the letter!" Yu Yaofang suddenly spoke, Lin Ke, who was angry and reasoning with Hong Dafen, was stunned, Yu Yaofang pulled her up, and while sending her to the car, she explained: "I told you, my eldest brother traveled to Bei'an City, disappeared a while ago, just sent a message saying that he found it, I have to go to my uncle to get the letter, A-Niang is very worried, you go back quickly, the cake matter is a trivial matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, I will go to your house to find you in a while, you go back quickly." Yu Yaofang couldn't help but stuff Lin Ke into the car, turned around and trotted to her car, and repeatedly ordered to go to the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy and the Privy Council were separated by an alley.

In the big camp outside Bei'an City, just after the third watch, Jiang Hong said goodbye to Zhu Mingrui, and set off with three thousand elite soldiers to check the grain and grass army.
