In the end, there was no fight in the kitchen.

After a quarrel, Xu Changge reluctantly gave up the position of the spoon to Xu Yuan and Xu Xinyao after sighing lightly, while he himself leaned against the white wall on the side with both hands, looking at the two of them as supervisors with half-squinted eyes.

He was really a little worried, but this time the object of his worries was not Xu Yuan.

This kid has been eating, drinking, and having fun inside and outside Di'an every day since he let himself go, and eating inevitably accounts for a large part of it.

Just like Xu Yuan didn't want Xu Xinyao to enter the back kitchen, Xu Changge was really worried about these four sisters.

This girl has really fried the kitchen before.

And after getting the power, Xu Yuan glanced at the stove roughly.

The various spices in glass bottles are neatly placed on the table, and there are even more kinds of spices than those under the modern industry in the previous life.

The people take food as the sky, and the territory of Dayan is very large, and the cuisine bred is also more colorful and diverse.

I haven't been to the back kitchen for a long time, but Xu Yuan didn't expect these seasonings to be so complete.

But when I thought about it, I was relieved, this is the Prime Minister's House.

Even if you don't need to, you have to be prepared, after all, one day Sangkook and his children will want to eat something new.

And all kinds of ingredients and seasonings in the inner kitchen are sent from the back kitchen of the Prime Minister's House.

Sweeping through the various spices, Xu Yuan's eyes stayed on the two plates of dishes on the stove that had just come out of the pot and were still steaming.

Both plates are the most ordinary home-cooked dishes, one plate of fried tofu and the other plate of fried meat, which is simple and fragrant.

After staring at it for a moment, Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

This time it was not a mockery, because Xu Changge learned to cook because their three little ones were not starved to death.

Just thinking in his heart, Xu Xinyao's soft voice on the side suddenly came from the side:

"Third brother, when Xin Yao traveled to Liushan County in Pinghuai before, she ate a dish of purple orchid fire dragon pepper, which tasted sour, hot and dry, and could use purple orchid vine to cook the taste of meat."

“.”

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced back at the four sisters, but saw that she had rolled up the sleeves of her red dress, revealing two white and flawless little arms, with a hint of eager smile:

"Xin Yao has been thinking about you since she ate it, and I think you will definitely like it."

Speaking of which,

Xu Xinyao seemed to think of something, and looked back at the overseer over there and smiled:

"Of course, big brother, you too."

“.”

The overseer of a seat in Tsing Yi snorted lukewarmly.

Unlike Xu Changge, Xu Yuan, who is well versed in the way of food, has heard this dish, and asked softly with a little doubt:

"But I remember that the spirit vegetable of purple vine seems to die two days after picking, so there shouldn't be any stock in the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

Xu Xinyao chuckled indifferently when she heard this, and said:

"I thought about this on the way back to Beijing, the purple orchid vine is cold, it belongs to the Xuanshui family, and the medicinal properties of the phoenix tail vine are the same, it should be able to be replaced, but the spiritual power in it conflicts with the fire dragon pepper, so it would be good to add some dragon fragrance to reconcile."

“.”

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped, and he coughed lightly:

"Xin Yao"

"Huh?"

Xu Xinyao looked back with eagerness on her face, turned her eyes, waved her hand, and laughed softly: "Third brother, don't worry, although ambergris is very strong, but after the medicinal properties are combined, it will not cause harm to your body now."

"I'm not worried about that."

"Huh?"

"Cooking isn't that complicated."

“.”

Xu Xinyao blinked, and then lowered her head slightly gloomily, but after a moment of silence, she raised her head again and asked tentatively:

"What about the Qifeng Jiuzhi soup in Guanghuaizhou?"

"Do you want to change the ingredients?"

"Just change it a little bit."

“.”

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Changge on the side.

Xu Changge nodded at him with a little solemnity.

“.”

“.”

"Bang!"

Xu Xinyao was thrown out of the kitchen by the two brothers.

After Xu Xinyao left, everything in the kitchen went smoothly.

Because the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had to be eaten before the time of the child, Xu Yuan also experienced the feeling of forcing the king to fight for this.

Cooking is actually a very simple thing.,Basically, a dish can be eaten after repeated a few times.,There's no such thing as fried kitchen in anime.,But the fourth lady in a certain prime minister's house always likes to treat cooking as alchemy.。

Who is serious about cooking ingredients and still considers medicinal properties?

This is how the inner kitchen was blown up by Xu Xinyao before, and this incident also alarmed many high-level officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, thinking that an assassin had touched the inner courtyard, but it was only when a group of Yuan Chu Fan arrived at the scene that they found that it was the fourth lady who blew up the inner kitchen.

When Xu Yuan and Xu Changge returned to the main hall with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Xinyao was sullenly lowering the thin belt of the red robe, and when she saw the two coming over, she immediately gently deflated her mouth, a little dissatisfied.

However, the girl's gentle personality still made her not play tricks, and quickly stepped forward to help the two brothers put all kinds of fragrant dishes on the table in the main hall.

There were no words, no ceremony, and after the whole family was seated, the five members of the family naturally moved their chopsticks. There are no rules in the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is no such thing as eating and sleeping.

However, although the atmosphere of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was soft, it was still quite quiet, and there was no lively atmosphere like ordinary people's New Year.

There's no way, there are a total of five people at a table, and three of them are cold and forced kings, so it's strange that they can be lively.

Oh, this dad shouldn't be counted, he is simple and has few words, and after simply asking the three brothers and sisters some questions, he was silent.

In order to make the atmosphere more lively, Xu Yuan proposed that the whole family drink a little.

After Xu Yinhe hesitated slightly, he had always only drunk fragrant tea, but he made an exception and agreed, while his maternal uncle Feng Jiuxuan silently took out the hundred-year-old phantom sword brew in his Sumeru ring.

Phantom sword wine is very precious, so precious that Xu Yuan has never drunk it, and it is said that long-term drinking can make people comprehend the sword intent in the psychedelic of wine.

And after drinking two cups, Xu Yuan found a problem.

He was already a little dizzy, Xu Xinyao's face was even more red, his eyes were confused, and the three stuffy gourds on the opposite side were still holding the dishes as usual.

These people are too high in cultivation to get drunk at all.

After eating a meal, only Xu Yuan and Xu Xinyao, brother and sister, had been talking while eating, until Xu Xinyao accidentally talked about his childhood in a daze, and the chatterbox in the entire hall was finally opened.

She said that Elder Xu was bullying her.

also said that Xu Changge beat Xu Yuan too hard every time.

Xu Changge replied indifferently, that Xu Yuan deserved it.

Xu Yuan, who was in a semi-dizzy state, threatened that Xu Changge was a piece of garbage, and he wouldn't beat anyone.

Xu Changge's eyes let out a soft sigh with deep meaning.

Xu Yuan continued to threaten his maternal uncle Feng Jiuxuan to beat him so badly, and now he saw that his maternal uncle's body was trembling.

Feng Jiuxuan replied lukewarmly, saying don't worry, he is measured, and he can't die.

Xu Yinhe smiled silently on the side.

In this bustle, a ball of fireworks quietly rose from the depths of the palace again, and turned into a brilliant sky above Di'an, and a house of five people suddenly realized that the time had passed, and they ushered in the New Year together.

The forty-sixth year of Jiajing is over, and the forty-seventh year of Jiajing has arrived.

This rare Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten by the family for a long time, drinking Feng Jiuxuan's two altars of century-old phantom sword brew, and it was not until Xu Xinyao, the fourth sister with the weakest cultivation, drank and fell to the ground, and was instantly supported by Xu Changge

Outside, I don't know when it started to snow again, and the snow fell quietly to the world with the fireworks in the well of Di'an City, and the stone pavement and dry lawn outside the main hall of the inner courtyard were gradually covered with a layer of snow again.

After Xu Xinyao was helped back to the room by Xu Changge, Feng Jiuxuan got up and said "go" and disappeared directly, and for a while, only Xu Yinhe, who was sitting on the main seat, and Xu Yuan, who was drunk, were left in the originally lively hall.

After a while, Xu Changge turned back again, glanced at the third brother who was spread out on the table and chair a little helplessly, and said to his father on the main throne with a smile:

"Father, Xin Yao has been very tired lately, and she fell asleep as soon as she dipped her pillow, so she should be able to rest well tonight."

The snow fell silently outside, and he raised his eyes to look at his eldest son, Xu Yinhe was slightly silent, and spit out three words in a deep voice:

"Good work."

Xu Yinhe knew that he was not a qualified father. After Qian'er passed away, the affairs of the three children in the mansion were basically done by Xu Changge, the eldest brother, and his only fatherly duty was to take a little time out of his busy schedule to stay in the mansion and have a light meal with the children.

It's just that as the children in the family grow up, and as the children in the family cultivate more and more, this kind of time becomes less and less.

Xu Changge chuckled and shook his head when he heard this, and did not reply to this sentence:

"I'll also send Changtian back to rest."

As he spoke, he leaned over and reached out to grab Xu Yuan's arm to prop him up, but the moment Xu Changge touched Xu Yuan, he was directly opened.

“.”

Xu Yuan rubbed his drunken eyes, reluctantly stood up from the chair and sat up, finding that the fireworks in the sky were already calm, he looked around, and asked in a hoarse voice with doubts:

"What about Uncle Niang and Xin Yao?"

Xu Changge looked at this kid drunk, his brows furrowed slightly, and he replied patiently:

"The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is over, Xin Yao is drunk, and Uncle Niang has returned to the Sword Pavilion."

"That's right."

Xu Yuan knocked on his dizzy head, only to feel that the world was spinning around, and he subconsciously wanted to use his skills to relieve hangover, but he was interrupted by Xu Changge, and he reminded lightly:

"It's easy for you to go crazy in this state."

Xu Yuan glanced at Xu Changge and smiled contemptuously:

"Xu Changge, who do you look down on, I can do my best when I am dying, leave me alone."

Drunken again.

This gesture reminded Xu Changge of some bad memories in the past, but considering that the New Year had just arrived and the other party was drunk again, he still suppressed his emotions and said softly:

"Okay, I know you're good, but now you can rest"

"No, I.. I still have something to ask my father. ”

“.”

Xu Changge glanced at Xu Yinhe on the main seat.

Xu Yinhe thought for a moment, and then nodded.

Xu Changge sighed lightly and instructed you to be careful.

Seeing Xu Changge's back disappear into the shadows of the snowy night, Xu Yuan also began to use his skills to relieve hangover.

The wine brewed by the hundred-year-old phantom sword is deeply rooted in the soul, and Xu Yuan ran the Blood Yuan Heart Fall Technique for several weeks before he slightly relieved his drunkenness a little, if he got up now, I am afraid that he would still fall directly to the ground.

"If there's anything you can talk about tomorrow morning."

Xu Yinhe's voice came quietly, not in a hurry: "Now go back and sleep, your uncle's phantom sword brewing may be able to comprehend some of his sword intent." ”

Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, and the surroundings were still spinning, rubbing his eyebrows and saying:

"Uncle Mother's sword intent, I probably won't use it, and it's not the same way."

“.” Feng Jiuxuan.

Xu Yinhe shook his head lightly when he heard this:

"It seems that neither of you brothers is ready to inherit his kendo, but it's a pity."

Except for fragments, drunkenness is actually relatively sober most of the time, but the temperament and courage will become much greater.

After diligently considering the words with the remaining consciousness, Xu Yuan looked at the father opposite and asked softly:

"Father, you. . . Are you going to the New Year's feast tomorrow? ”

Xu Yinhe sipped the wine in the cup, felt Feng Jiuxuan's sword intent, and replied without hurry:

The answer to this question doesn't really depend on the father."

Xu Yuan subconsciously blurted out:

"What about the emperor?"

Xu Yinhe didn't say anything when he heard this.

The hall was silent, and the wind and snow were shaking.

After a pause, Xu Yuan asked with a little worry:

"Father, what if I say what if, the royal family doesn't compromise?"

Xu Yinhe put down his wine glass and asked softly:

"Do you think it could happen?"

Xu Yuan smiled lowly, then shook his head and said:

"I don't think it's possible, I'm just asking what to do in case of it, after all, if we lose the official position of prime minister, our position will change."

The official position of prime minister is a proof of status and a kind of authority, but this dad doesn't need this.

Now the official position of prime minister is actually more of a symbol of his position in the imperial court, once the emperor really makes him a minister, without this connection, the Xiangguo Mansion will directly become the Xu family in the capital.

At that time, the "Xu family in the capital" will be in labor pains because of the disappearance of the court's righteousness, and all kinds of high-ranking officials in the court will fall one after another, and the power center of Di'an City will most likely be purged by the royal family in a very short time, and all kinds of high-ranking officials will be replaced by people from the imperial party.

However, it is only limited to the city of Di'an.

All aspects of the Prime Minister's Mansion have penetrated into all parts of the Great Yan, and many local prefectures and counties will listen to the propaganda and do not listen to the tune, and there may be a situation where the imperial power will not go down to the state.

For example, Xu Yinhe's hometown Jingjiang Mansion.

And what's even worse is that if the royal family really dares to do this, it is equivalent to pushing the "Xu family in the capital" to the sect.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan smiled lightly:

"Also, you have been following the emperor for so long, you have to show the bottom line, otherwise these people will keep making inroads."

Saying,

Xu Yuan paused for a moment and asked softly:

"But father, you should know that I don't mean that?"

Xu Yinhe frowned slightly:

"What?"

Xu Yuan was quiet for a moment, rubbed his hands, and asked tentatively:

"If the royal family doesn't compromise, do you have a backup plan? It's that kind of backup plan, after all, you've come this far, and the emperor is running out of time, isn't it? ”

"You're drunk for a long time."

Xu Yinhe didn't answer, and stood up directly from his seat: "Rest early, don't keep thinking about these distant things." ”

Seeing this, Xu Yuan sighed lightly in his heart.

It seems that this father is reluctant to tell him about that plan, and he must try to avoid that kind of situation.

"Oh, that's right, Changtian."

Xu Yinhe walked to the door of the hall and suddenly paused, and said softly:

"Ran Jian has been wandering at the door of the inner courtyard for half an hour since that apprentice."
