Chapter 28: Expressing Thanks

Zheng Xiuyu smiled and returned the salute, the posture was very elegant, and he was well taught by the family at a glance.

I only heard him say in a soft voice: "The master of the family and my grandfather know each other, and they are also close friends, so there is no need to thank you for this idea."

It's just that the surname Zhu is not a good match, at this time he retreated, I am afraid that there are still some unpopular means behind it, and please pay more attention, if there is something to go to my grandfather's side to find me, I should help you. ”

"Thank you Zheng Gongzi for helping."

Concubine Rou and Yao thanked them in unison, they didn't know what to do, and there was no Second Master Qi and Master Qi to help them here.

Just now, Zhen Zhen suddenly came out to beat the person surnamed Zhu, they were worried, they knew that Zhen Zhen was kind, but the strength of the two parties was so different, it was really a little impulsive.

Fortunately, I got the help of this Zheng family son, but I didn't expect that this town was not as stable as Nanding Town, and if I came out to buy things in the future, I would have to ask some people to accompany me, otherwise what would I do if I met Zhu Gongzi again?

When they thought of this, Concubine Rou and the Yao family didn't want to stay any longer, they were afraid that the person surnamed Zhu would come over again to find trouble.

"Zhenzhen, let's go back for the time being, discuss with your grandfather to see what to do, and also talk to your second aunt so that she can be a little prepared."

"Okay, then let's go back quickly, mother and Aunt Rou, don't worry, grandfather naturally has a way to deal with him."

Qi Zhenzhen comforted the two of them on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was also a little worried in her heart, it seemed that she could no longer act with just one strength, looking at so many people on the other side, if it wasn't for Zheng Gongzi's help, I don't know what to do.

After that, when you study with Qi Erye, you have to be more attentive and strive to grow up quickly, so that you can protect the Yao family and them, and you can't always rely on others.

After thanking him again, Qi Zhenzhen and the others left.

Zheng Xiuyu stood still and didn't react until the entourage he was waiting for called him.

In fact, Qi Zhenzhen didn't remember him, but he remembered the other party, he was a few years older than Qi Zhenzhen, and when Yao gave birth to his daughter, he also went to the house with his mother to congratulate him.

When he was in the Zheng family before, he also heard his mother mention the Yao family, it is said that he has an excellent personality, but it is too soft and easy to stand up, he originally thought that Qi Zhenzhen, who was taught by his mother, would also be like this, but he didn't expect that the other party had some means.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiuyu couldn't help but glance at Qi Zhenzhen a little highly.

Thinking of Zhu Gongzi again, he couldn't help but flash a trace of boredom in his eyes, although some people don't care, but it's annoying enough to be noisy next to him, he has to think of a way to let the head of the Ministry of Officials in Beijing know that Zhu Gongzi is hiding here.

After arriving at the inn, Master Qi was still discussing with Mrs. Li, and Concubine Rou and Yao first told Li what they had just encountered, and Li was also very worried and comforted the two of them.

"Don't worry, my father will definitely have a way to deal with it, I made some new pastries, you can eat some anger in Pingyi's heart first, and then tell your father."

Hearing what Yao and Concubine Rong said, Master Qi was silent for a while, and then said:

"Speaking of that Zhu Gongzi, you may not know, but I know about this Wu Governor's Mansion, he was just a small official, but he was promoted so quickly and became a big member, just because he is the uncle of the new emperor."

"Uncle? If I'm not mistaken, the new emperor's mother was clearly a palace maid, if she was the minister's sister, how could she enter the palace as a palace maid, and even if she couldn't be canonized as a concubine, she should be a female official, how could she serve in the Huanyi Bureau. ”

The Li family and the Yao family are in the inner house, and they don't know about the deep palace, no more than Concubine Rou who has been in the palace for many years and is in a high position, so she naturally knows these details, so Concubine Rou asked Master Qi suspiciously.

At the beginning, the biological mother of the new emperor was so disgusted by the first emperor, her mediocre appearance was one thing, and the most important thing was that she was from a humble background, and she was not qualified to be canonized as a concubine.

But because she was pregnant that time, under this persecution, His Majesty had to give her a very humble name, because it was not willing, so he hated her even more.

If there was a brother like Wu Zhifu at the beginning, no matter how she said it, she would be able to canonize the position of Baolin, and how could she be crowned many years later because of the queen's intercession?

"That's right, I know it's because of Min'er.

Min'er didn't tell you what was on her mind at the beginning, but only told me, I know that Xindi has never liked his mother's low background, so he deliberately promoted his uncle, but the other party is a person with no talent, but he still found the identity of a county prince for the other party.

Later, I was promoted many times, and I observed that I wanted to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, this was not in accordance with the rules, but I was stopped by Min'er, and I felt sorry for my granddaughter, so I deliberately covered it up for him a few times.

It's just that I didn't expect him to be promoted to the prefect so soon. ”

Li suddenly heard the Seventh Master talking about her daughter, and said in a low voice with some sadness:

"Min'er is really confused, now that she is involved in the palace, I don't know what the situation is, her father and I are really worried, but this place is so far away, but I don't know what happened."

There is actually some inquisition in these words, after all, the Li family knows that Mrs. Li has just resigned from Beijing and returned home, and even if Qi Min'er does not enter the palace, she must have a close connection with the new emperor, so presumably the officials can hear a little bit of Qi Min'er's rumors.

Master Qi looked at Yao's carefully, but saw that the other party's eyes were red and swollen, and there was a worried look in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, and then said slowly:

"You don't have to worry so much, everything is fine with Min'er, the new emperor is worried that she will be embarrassed by Queen Liu in the palace, so he specially put her in the palace, with a lot of palace maids and eunuchs to serve, and all the treatment is above the four concubines, I heard that the new emperor intended to canonize her as the imperial concubine, but she was stopped by those people in the Liu family."

"That's good, fortunately, she is still favored, she is not in vain, she is sincere and has not made a mistake, no matter what we do, as long as Min'er can live better, I will also feel at ease."

Seeing Li's somewhat happy face at first glance, Master Qi poured cold water on him again, and only heard him say:

"After all, you have to be vigilant, do you think the position of the imperial concubine is so good? What's more, Min'er's identity is now the daughter of a criminal minister, even if she can get the favor of the new emperor, but in the end, it is not as good as in the eyes of outsiders, and Jun's grace is like flowing water, you should always understand this..."

As soon as he heard Master Qi say this, the joy on Li's face couldn't help but take a little bit, yes, how much can the queen and the prince who have always been very cruel to him really rely on him? However, when he heard the news that Qi Min'er was in the palace right now, the Li family was still slightly relieved in his heart.

No matter what, the Marquis of Mingyuan's Mansion has been exiled now, Min'er only relies on the value of the new emperor to gain a foothold, there must be nothing that can attract the other party's jealousy, no matter what, even if he falls out of favor, he doesn't have to be like them in the end..."

But said that after the conversation that day, Li's mood was obviously much better, and his enthusiasm for making talent cakes was also a little higher, and he specially pulled Qi Zhenzhen to do a lot of new tricks, Qi Zhenzhen took the time to put forward a few suggestions as appropriate, and Li tried to make some modifications.

I gave it to Concubine Rou and Yao and others to taste the taste, and only after getting everyone's affirmation did they add the new flavor, and people were a little curious.

In addition, these new flavors were bought at a lower price than before, so they all bought some to try, and then they bought more amazingly.

Someone even asked Li to make more new flavors, and Li agreed with a smile, and sure enough, the sales of Caizi cake were much better.

Now they have made a name for themselves, and although the price is a little more expensive than ordinary pastries, the taste is also excellent.

What's more, the moral behind it is also good, so ordinary people also want to buy a few and go back to taste them, and now their income is not bad.

Usually, some of the money in the guest house does not have to rely on the savings of the past, only the money of the talented cake can be used, and there can be some surplus.

And since seeing Mrs. Li that day, Qi Zhenzhen doesn't know how she got into Mrs. Li's eyes, maybe Master Qi said something to the other party, every time she goes to Master Qi's side, Qi Zhenzhen can always meet Mrs. Li, and the other party teaches her very carefully.

Qi Zhenzhen only felt that she had improved a lot in knowledge, and she was also closer to Mrs. Li, while Master Qi was looking at it with a smile on the other side, and she didn't know what she was thinking, occasionally Qi Zhenzhen could meet Zheng Gongzi, she wanted to make the purse as soon as possible, but the Yao family was doing it carefully with Concubine Rou.

Because of Zheng Gongzi's help that day, they made their purses a lot more carefully, and naturally their hands and feet were slow, so they hadn't done it yet, and Qi Zhenzhen would occasionally go to help.

After all, this is the intention of the Yao family and Concubine Rou, so Qi Zhenzhen is not good at urging more, and she is also very grateful to Zheng Gongzi in her heart.

Moreover, Qi Zhenzhen also specially begged the second master of Qi and the second master of Qi to add an hour to the time of studying with the second master of Qi, just to make her progress faster.

At this time, Jingzhong was not very quiet.

Queen Liu secretly saw Qi Min'er that day, with the intention of so that the other party could recognize her identity clearly and not dream of being favored.

But she didn't expect that before she could say a few words, she was slapped by the new emperor, and Queen Liu only felt very embarrassed.

After all, most of the personal maids beside her at that time were serving with her, and in front of Qi Min'er, a rival in love, the new emperor did not give her face so much.

Originally, Empress Liu still had some regrets, but seeing that her husband was so addicted to another woman, she directly handed over the words, asking General Liu to see how to persuade the emperor to not let Qi Min'er, the slut, enter the palace.

Now the other party has not entered the palace, it has already hooked His Majesty's heart, I heard that in addition to dealing with the affairs of the court, His Majesty now stays in the palace almost every day, even if the road is traveling, but there is no day to rest.

And her Luanfeng Palace is obviously so close to His Majesty's palace, but since that day, the other party has never set foot on it.

Although others were afraid of her identity and didn't dare to say much, Queen Liu only felt that many people were watching her jokes.

Empress Liu wanted to complain about the new emperor's ruthlessness, but she was reluctant to give up in her heart, so she could only put all her hatred on Qi Min'er.
