Chapter 151: The Divine Decree
A golden light swept over the corner of Yu Hang's eyes, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a little yellow cat raised by his little sister. When did this guy come along? Running crazy in the melon field like this, will it hurt the melon seedlings? But if you look closely, the kitten is very clever and picks up the ridges and jumps, and does not touch the melon vines and melon seedlings at all.
A scoop of water with a faint aura was watered into the melon field, and the melon seedlings stretched their leaves in the breeze, as if they were trying their best to grow, and the small young melons seemed to grow up a little quietly when people were not paying attention......
It wasn't until almost noon that three acres of melon fields were watered. The brother and sister walked in the direction of their home with empty buckets.
When I arrived at the foot of the West Mountain, I found that the Zhao family, which was originally very deserted, surrounded by many villagers at the door. Uncle Zhao's family lives far away from the village, and rarely interacts with the people in the village, his family has always been very clean, how can it be today......
Is something wrong? The Xiaocao brothers and sisters glanced at each other and ran towards the Zhao family quickly. When I came to the outside of the stone wall of the Zhao family, I could hear the onlookers talking with great interest:
"Wow! Did you see that? That's the Holy Decree!! The Holy Decree in the Drama!! It's a pity that I am too far away to see what the Holy Decree looks like! ”
"I didn't expect Lao Zhao to be the general of the previous dynasty! Do you know the official who often comes to his house these days? That's his apprentice! It's a big official of the imperial court!! ”
"You didn't listen to the holy decree that the emperor cherishes talents and loves talents, and wants Lao Zhao to go back to be an official. What is he doing? I don't remember? ”
"General Zhenguo!! Seal him a general!! Tsk, Zhao Orion's family will be terrible in the future! ”
"Not really! The Zhao family wants to enjoy happiness in the capital!! ”
"The one who announced the decree has no beard, is it the eunuch mentioned in the play?"
"Shh......h You don't want to die?! Those fathers-in-law hate others to call him 'eunuch' the most, and if he hears it, he will be killed! ”
……
When Yu Xiaocao heard this, she was completely relieved. Grandpa Zhao finally saw the moon when the clouds opened! In the past, when she came to Zhao's house, she inadvertently saw Grandpa Zhao in a daze into the distance, and his expression was very lost.
A literary and martial arts, the emperor's family that was sold. Think about it, although Grandpa Zhao has lived in seclusion for 30 years, he is not willing to be bland! Fortunately, the current emperor is a wise monarch and can appoint people on the basis of merit. In the future, Grandpa Zhao and Uncle Zhao should be able to shine in their own positions......
"Hey! That little girl? You stop!! When Xiaocao turned around and was about to leave, a loud voice stopped her from behind.
Yu Xiaocao looked around, and it seemed that she was the only one around her who was a little girl. Is it called her? Who is it?
"That's right! It's you!! A sound of footsteps came from behind her, and soon came to her. With a gray beard and a white chubby face, an old man with a red face looked at her with a smile and enthusiasm.
"Five...... Fifth master? Yu Xiaocao recognized him, looked at his simple dress in coarse cloth, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”
"If you want to come, you're coming!" The Emperor Taishang put his hands behind his back and looked around, his eyes were full of greenery, and even the air seemed to be fresher, so he smiled and said, "Here, the Tao is a good place to retire!" ”
Yu Xiaocao was full of black lines, and said in his heart: You are really idle, you don't wear good silk and satin, you have to wear coarse cloth clothes with patches; Good royalty and aristocrats don't do it, they have to run to this place where birds don't. In this poor and remote area, which eye can see that it is a good place to retire?
"You...... It can't be that you came with the messenger who announced the decree, right? Yu Xiaocao saw that he was coming from the Zhao family, so he had an idea and asked casually.
The Emperor Taishang smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood: "I listen...... I heard that Mr. Shi went to Dongshan Village to announce the decree, thinking that he would just stop by and take care of him on the way. Let's come together! ”
"By the way? You have always come to Dongshan Village, what are you doing? Yu Xiaocao hugged the little golden cat and gently stroked its smooth hair.
The Emperor Taishang smiled even more, squinted at her, and looked at Xiaocao's heart, and then said, "Of course I'm here to find you!" ”
"Looking for me?" What to do with her? Did she think that spending three hundred taels of silver to buy her family's braised vegetables was not worth it and wanted to flee back? Think about it, these five masters are neither in business nor in business, and spending three hundred taels to satisfy their appetites is indeed extravagant!
The Emperor Taishang pretended to be mysteriously happy at her, waved his hand at her, and said, "Let's go, talk while walking!" As he spoke, he walked in the direction of Xiaocao's house.
Hey! It seems that she came prepared, and even inquired about where her family was! However, her family didn't have that much cash, and the money from the seller and the money earned later were all invested in the dock shop on Wednesday.
The Emperor Taishang walked in front of him with a pace, and Xiaocao followed behind like a little follower. Behind them are Yu Hang and the followers of the Emperor Taishang.
As soon as Yu Hai went out, he saw a group of people coming towards this side. When you look closely, isn't it his little girl walking in the crowd?
"Little grass...... What are you? Yo! Isn't this the fifth master? Why are you here? Yu Hai also recognized the old man walking in front at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The Emperor Taishang turned his face and said in a rather unhappy tone: "Is the master very old?" Xiaoyu, honest people can't speak, and they will offend many people! Ye is very angry!! Let's see what to do!! ”
Yu Hai knew that this person in front of him had a lot of background, and accidentally touched his moldy head, maybe he would do something to a small person like them! Even if people move their little fingers, it is not something he can bear. For a moment, Yu Hai froze in place at a loss, and he didn't know what to say!
"Fifth master, don't bully my father, an honest man!! Say, whatever you want to eat, as long as we can afford the ingredients, we will definitely get it for you. Let's talk about it first, I'll only cook home-cooked food, don't give me Buddha jumping over the wall, abalone and ginseng wings and the like. I'm a little peasant girl, I don't know much, I can't get it! Yu Xiaocao thinks that he is still a little sure of foodies.
Sure enough, her unkind words did not anger the fifth master, a distinguished guest in Beijing, but laughed and said: "Xiaocao, this girl, is her temper with me!" I'm not welcome to the fifth master-I want to eat pig's head meat! I also want to spicy fried fat sausages, red oil belly, and I want to eat duck blood vermicelli soup......"
Emperor Taishang ordered a lot of unceremoniously, and they all fit the category of home-cooked food that Xiaocao said. But in the end, the duck blood vermicelli soup made it difficult for Xiaocao.
"Fifth master, duck blood is easy to get, but fans, where can you let me find it? Let's change it to duck blood tofu soup, okay? Yu Xiaocao was already sure of the identity of the fifth master at this time.
Over fifty years old, tall and tough, you can see at a glance that you have been mixed in the army, and you can wear bright yellow, which symbolizes the royal family. The most important thing is that he knows the dish of "duck blood vermicelli soup"! The fifth master is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and now the emperor! Alas, the Ming Dynasty was too small to let the two traversers meet like this.
However, I don't know if the emperor knows her origin, can he fool the past? Yu Xiaocao pretended to have a sad face, and whispered: "Fifth master, the other dishes are easy to say." This duck blood vermicelli soup...... What is a fan? Where can I buy it? ”
"Don't be sloppy with me! You little girl is playing with me, and you're a little tender! This fan, others don't know what it is, can you still not know? I don't care, I'm determined to eat 'duck blood vermicelli soup'!! The Emperor Taishang took a big stride, walked into the courtyard of the Yu family with great vigor, and sat down on the recliner in front of the house.
It seems that he can't hide from it, and Yu Xiaocao saw that the Emperor Taishang had no intention of performing the drama of "fellow villagers seeing fellow villagers", so naturally he would not mention this. She wrinkled her little face and said, "Fifth Master! I only know that vermicelli is made of sweet potato flour, but I've never made it before, so I don't know how to get it......"
The Emperor Taishang swayed comfortably on the chaise longue, his eyes narrowed into a slit, but his mouth said unrelentingly: "Come less!" You can make roast chicken and osmanthus duck, can't be a vermicelli? Who are you coaxing? If you grind again, I will cure your father for the crime of disrespect and put him in prison. Hum! ”
In the face of the unreasonable old naughty emperor, Xiaocao really has no choice. looked at the frightened father and the mother who didn't understand the situation, she had to bite the bullet and say, "Fifth master! Don't scare us honest people, my father and mother are cowardly, and they can't help but be scared! ”
After a pause, he said: "Fans probably can't eat today!" Because the process of making fans is too troublesome, it will not be possible to do it for a while. There are also braised pig's heads, fat sausages and pork belly, all of which are taken to the dock and sold, if you want to eat them, you have to wait for the evening! ”
"Alright! Fifth master, I am not an unreasonable person. Then I'll eat casually at noon, and I'll wait for a big meal in the evening! The Emperor Taishang comfortably lifted Erlang's legs on the recliner, and suddenly added, "Why don't you get a rocking chair." The warm sun is basking and the rocking chair is rocking, I don't know how comfortable it is! ”
Have a big dinner at night? Won't the Emperor go back to town at night? How can Dongshan Village hold his big Buddha? Yu Xiaocao looked at the commander of the guards beside the Emperor: You don't know how to persuade?
The commander of the guards pretended not to see Xiaocao's gaze, with a cold ice face, standing behind the Emperor Taishang to protect him closely. In fact, his heart was completely broken: if he could choose, he would rather his master stay in Beijing honestly, which was the safest place in the entire Ming Dynasty.
But his master always likes to run around, and the remnants of the previous dynasty have not been cleared, how dangerous it is outside! Still staying overnight in this small mountain village? The master is afraid that he will be too idle and give him problems! It's a pity that Mr. Liu stayed in Beijing, if he followed, he might be able to persuade a few words. As for the guards, they have to stand aside!
Yu Xiaocao hid in the kitchen with a broken face, and Liu took her hand and asked softly about the identity of the people in the courtyard. Xiaocao didn't dare to tell the true identity of the fifth master, for fear of scaring her father, she only said that she was a distinguished guest in Beijing, and even the county master had to give three points.
