Seeing Brother Zhang's expression, Zhao Zhen felt that this thing was written by himself, what is this and that, these scholars like to do this, when they are fine, they are called this and that, Su Zhe doesn't have an unlucky brother who is also an iron crown Taoist and a Dongpo layman, that thing is generally a demeaning life, and now that iron can layman......

"Rong'er, the one you said last time was very talented, Su Zhe's brother who is not angry. Where is he now? ”

"My father said it last time, it seems that he summoned the Secret Pavilion and the Zhishi Pavilion in February. Later, there was a joke in the Dragon Boat Festival, and he lost a bet with someone and went around the city naked, and his father was angry and demoted him to Lingnan to eat lychees. ”

Su Zhe's brother who is not angry? Isn't that Su Dongpo, Brother Zhang probably counted the days, and now Su Dongpo is twenty years old, at the age of his prime, with his character, he bet that he lost his bare ass and paraded on the street.

"Yes, that guy is also a talented boy, and he is also a stunned man, and he will eat."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen also glared at Brother Zhang: "I always have such things." ”

Zhao Rong giggled next to him, seeing his daughter who hadn't been so happy for a long time smiling so brightly, Zhao Zhen had nothing in his stomach, he wiped his mouth with a silk cloth, got up and said: "I went to the court, you just talk to this stunned man, it's also bitter for you to be stuffed in the deep palace all day." ”

"Father, I'll send you."

"That's it, you lie there and rest."

Zhao Zhen also squinted at Brother Zhang before leaving, this carefully looks at this kid's face is indeed Zhou Zheng, his eyes are resolute and calm, not like the kind of rhetorical and demagogic young man, he is also quite relieved, so he called a few Zhao Rong's personal palace maids to protect here, and then he took the Manjiang red letter written by Brother Zhang to the court, he carried this today, and if he didn't scold the gang of scumbags below for bleeding, he would not be surnamed Zhao.

"Hey, I'll ask you."

After Zhao Zhen left, Her Royal Highness the princess looked Brother Zhang up and down: "Where did you learn this skill?" The food you cook can't even match the royal chef. ”

"Most of them are self-cooked, and sometimes I look at the recipes."

At this time, Zhao Rong saw that Brother Zhang was still standing, so he asked the palace maid Taohong to give him a low stool, and Brother Zhang sat down directly without politeness, and at this time it was the season when the lotus flowers were full of ponds, and from this study, it was pink and white, very beautiful.

"If only this lotus flower could be eaten, I don't know what it tastes like."

Zhao Rong sighed exaggeratedly, and glanced at Brother Zhang with her eyes from time to time, Brother Zhang had just drunk a sip of the water brought by the palace maid at this time, and nodded after hearing her words: "You look at me while sighing, don't you just want me to get it for you?" ”

This is really a stunned person...... Where can she speak so directly, Zhao Rong is also angry and funny, but after all, she is a girl: "Then you just say that you will not." ”

"It's a pity that there is no sugar."

In fact, according to Brother Zhang's historical review, the Song Dynasty should have had white sugar at this time, but most of it was trade or tribute from countries such as Dashi and Tianzhu, and now the Great Song Dynasty moved south in advance, surrounded by strong enemies and lost the fundamental path of trade, so the white sugar that would have been in the palace was now a rarity.

"Sugar? I have it! ”

Zhao Rong's eyes burned after hearing this: "Before, my father felt sorry for me and gave me the last jar of sugar, but I was not willing to eat it." Pink, go and get that jar of sugar. ”

The palace maid hurriedly walked out, Zhao Rong looked at Brother Zhang and said, "But I can tell you, that jar of sugar is my sweetheart, if you break it, don't blame me for being angry." ”

Brother Zhang sneered, turned around and walked out.

Zhao Rong hurriedly shouted: "That stunned, what are you doing?" ”

"Pick lotus flowers."

Hearing that he was really going to start making lotus flowers for himself to eat, Zhao Rong hurriedly called for someone to help him get off the long bed, and then came to the edge of the pond to watch this stunned man work.

I saw that he didn't know where to take a dustpan, and then stepped on the boat they usually enjoyed the flowers and began to cruise through the lotus bushes in the pond, and in a short time the dustpan was already full of lotuses, with lotus buds and crisp lotus canopies.

"What are you picking lotus pods for?"

Zhao Rong asked curiously, and Brother Zhang pinched it with his hand and said, "Eat." ”

"You're really sorry for words."

Seeing that he was about to go to the dining room after picking flowers at the moment, Zhao Rong couldn't care about his identity, and was supported by the palace maid and carried his skirt and followed him over, and the little eunuchs inside saw that Her Royal Highness the princess had come down, and they were all so frightened that they were sweating, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

But Brother Zhang began to work, he first removed a layer of the old petals on the outside of the lotus bud, and then removed the core in the middle, and then put the processed bud in a large bowl of clean water to soak, and here Brother Zhang began to peel the lotus seeds after processing the flowers, and he peeled out the bitter core in the middle of the lotus seeds alone, put it in a teapot and poured hot water to soak, and the lotus seeds themselves were put into the steamer by him.

At this time, the jar of white sugar was also brought over, and Brother Zhang poured the sugar into the pot without saying a word, added some oil and began to boil the sugar, and asked someone to get a big bowl of cold well water that had just been beaten up.

When the sugar melted into syrup and bubbled up, he quickly poured all the syrup into a white porcelain bowl, then took out the buds and rolled them in a few times to make sure that each piece was stained with syrup, and quickly threw the hot buds into the cold water.

After repeating this a few times, the lotus flowers that seemed to be sealed in the glass were placed around the plate, and at this time, the lotus seeds were also steamed to the fire, Brother Zhang poured the remaining syrup back into the pot and added some new sugar to the sand, poured the lotus seeds together, and with the stir-frying in his hands, the lotus seeds were evenly coated with a layer of frosting.

He poured the iced lotus seeds into the middle of the plate, and then poured a layer of osmanthus nectar on top, and the summer dessert was completed.

Zhao Rong stepped forward and picked up a lotus flower, only to feel that it was cold and watery, and there seemed to be juice flowing in it.

"Is this really edible?"

"Hmm."

Zhao Rong curiously put a flower in her mouth, and with a click, the sugar glass outside shattered in response, and the small sweet water wrapped in it flowed into her mouth, sweet and cool, with the fragrance of lotus flowers.

As she chewed, the sugar glass outside made a clicking sound in her mouth, crispy and sweet, and Zhao Rong was full of joy when she ate it.

"You go and wait for me in the pavilion outside, and I'll take it for the queen mother to eat."

She walked slowly with the plate, while Brother Zhang sat in the pavilion outside very obediently, after all, this Zhao Rong was no one else...... The drama of the prince saving the princess, I'm afraid now he has to play if he wants to, and he has to play if he doesn't want to.

And while Brother Zhang was sitting there waiting for Zhao Rong, Zhao Zhen was now losing his temper in the main hall, although he was Renzong, but after all, even the capital was taken by people, and it was normal to lose his temper.

He threw the "Man Jianghong" script written by Brother Zhang on the faces of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military personnel, and let them circulate it.

"If I, Di Hanchen, are still here, how can there be the rampant of the Liao Kingdom! You guys, you guys, damn it! You pay me back Di Hanchen! ”

In the past, Zhao Zhen categorically couldn't say such a thing, he still had to look forward and backward at that time, but now it's different, his mother's hometown has been copied, and then this gang of civil officials will make trouble, he is afraid that he will be forced by the Liao State to commit suicide by jumping into the sea in his lifetime.

He is not afraid of death, but he is just a life that lasts for a long time, but there are thousands of people under him, as well as his own children. Their gang of dog-day things is to change the court and continue to be officials, whether it is a big official or a small official, anyway, these people have enough qualifications, and they can get a pension wherever they go, and where will he, the emperor, go?

To know how his ancestors treated the emperor of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and how Li Yu died, everyone has a little bit in their hearts.

And now the Great Song Dynasty has collapsed like this, everything has to start from the year when Di Qing Di Hanchen died, originally Di Qing alone arrived at thousands of troops and horses, Di Qing died, the Liao people and the Western Xia Party people from the northwest and two directions to encircle, directly beat the Great Song Dynasty to the head of the can't raise their heads, moved the capital to Lin'an Mansion overnight, and handed over the capital to others.

What a shame this is, what a grievance this is, he is angry when he looks at the group of people below him now, the courtiers of this dynasty should really listen to the words of that stunned man, and maybe it will really get better if he cuts it in half.

"You're here for me to see, enough for an hour!"

Zhao Zhen brushed his sleeves away, and the ministers below didn't dare to make a sound, after all, he had just been scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, and now he could only wait for the anger of the official family to slowly subside.

When Zhao Zhen returned to the study behind him angrily, he was stuffed with a cold and sweet thing as soon as he entered the door, and he turned his head to see that it was his daughter Zhao Rong who was naughty next to him.

When he saw his daughter's appearance, he laughed: "What did Rong'er eat for me?" ”

"Rong'er gave you something to eat, but it's this summer scene." Zhao Rong said playfully: "Look! ”

She put the pot of snacks in front of Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen was also surprised, after all, the desserts he ate in the past did not look like this, although they were all purple and red, but they lacked this kind of crystal clear.

"What is this?"

Zhao Zhen pinched a lotus flower and watched it for a while: "It's beautiful." ”

"This, this is the dessert that you said was made for me by the stunned man, I didn't want to eat it, and I gave it to you and the queen mother."

"Okay, good......" Zhao Zhen smiled happily: "You can take it and eat it yourself, what about the stunned?" ”

"I asked him to cook, saying that my father must have lost his temper in the court today, and asked him to get you something to eat."

Zhao Zhen sighed when he heard this: "It's still my Rong'er who knows that I feel distressed." ”

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and Zhao Zhen suddenly sighed: "It would be great if this kid wasn't a stunned kid, maybe he would be a good match for Rong'er." ”

"Father's ......" Zhao Rong did not say anything about not marrying this time, but became: "How can it be so easy to get a good match......

This child's mind, Zhao Zhen is not a stupid person, seeing her eyes, you know what she is thinking, so Zhao Zhen asked with a smile: "How about just let that stunned man be this colt?" Anyway, the horse can't be an official, and I'm afraid that I can't mix in the officialdom. ”

"No, no, no, how can you be in such a hurry......" Zhao Rong was anxious at first, then turned her head sideways to look outside, and found that Brother Zhang had not returned, so she whispered: "It's better to test the test again......

Zhao Zhen laughed heartily when he heard this, how could he not know what his daughter was thinking, so he followed his daughter's words and said: "Then how does Rong'er think the world is tested?" ”

Zhao Rong walked around here with her hands behind her back: "Jingzhao Mansion...... No, no, that stunned guy doesn't know what he's going to do. ”

After pondering for a while, Zhao Rong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Father, this Gyeonggi Province has not yet been established, Jingzhao Mansion is too important, this stunned person can't go, it is better to let him go to a small county under the jurisdiction of the most remote Fuzhong among the four provinces of Gyeonggi Province to see his ability." Rong'er knows that that kind of temperament is afraid that she will be played to death in the capital, but she can do a good job as a county official, and when the time comes, she will use it for two years, and if it is good, it will not be too late to transfer it back. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at his daughter's serious appearance, it was naturally like a mirror, although the stunned man was a little stunned, but other aspects were really in line with Zhao Zhen's expectations, and he was stunned probably because he had studied for many years and was still young.

"Then he's just a showman."

"Father......" Zhao Rong's eyes gurgled: "Aren't you going to open another subject next month......?"

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Rong'er, Rong'er...... The imperial examination is a big deal, how can it be child's play. ”

"Let him take the test! Take the test by ability! ”

Hearing Zhao Rong's words, Zhao Zhen just smiled, but didn't say anything. What else is the test, as long as he, the emperor, gives an order, no matter how upright the examiner is, he will have to weigh it, as long as he is not a top straw bag, Jinshike must be casual.

However, seeing his daughter's expectant eyes, Zhao Zhen was also helpless, so he had to sigh, took out a piece of silk paper from the table and handed it to the eunuch beside him: "Go, hand this over to Uncle Yong." ”

"Father...... A blank piece of paper, huh? ”

"Rong'er." Zhao Zhen patted his daughter's little head: "You haven't married yet, and your heart has already been remembered?" ”

Zhao Rong pursed her lips: "No......"

"Okay, okay, don't worry. Besides, a blank sheet of paper is enough. ”

Zhao Rong didn't understand, and Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, but soon this blank piece of paper was sent to Ouyang Xiu's desk.

He stared at the blank silk cloth, raised his eyes to look at the little eunuch, then nodded at him, then put the silk cloth away, stood up and bowed, and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
