Chapter 99: Glutinous Rice Osmanthus Cake (Second Watch)

The next morning, the post of deputy assistant to the cabinet of the Marquis of Yongping was dismissed and replaced by Luo Shangshu, the secretary of the military department.

The power of the second assistant of the cabinet is huge, second only to Wang Can, the first assistant of the cabinet. Although the dismissal did not move the vitality of Yongping Hou, it also touched his muscles and bones, making him feel pain.

Han Youning quickly got the news from the clerk.

This result was expected.

Emperor Qingming relied on the Marquis of Yongping, and he would not easily cut off his arm.

As for the way that the Marquis of Yongping can impress the emperor, the only thing is silver, the silver plundered from the Chen family. It's just that in this life, he must have given more.

The embankment of a thousand miles cannot be destroyed overnight, as long as it has cracks.

Han Youning went to the small kitchen to make glutinous rice osmanthus cake. She promised Huo Shan's thank you.

Each glutinous rice cake is wrapped with red bean paste as a filling, and there is no need to make a beautiful shape with a grinding tool, just a simple round ball, steamed out of the pot and then poured with osmanthus nectar.

She deliberately made more, and Zhao Chengyuan seemed to like sweets, so she gave him one too.

It's also considered ...... Thank him for the kindness of the two lives.

Bao'er trotted in, "County Lord, the prince is here!"

"Himself, or with others?"

"The prince is also accompanied by a guard brother, and the old lady and the second lady are also here."

Han Youning took a piece of freshly made glutinous rice osmanthus cake and gave it to her, "Let's play."

"Hmm!"

Bao'er jumped up and ran away with the osmanthus cake.

Han Youning untied his apron, simply tidied up his appearance, and when he got out of the small kitchen, he saw that Zhao Chen had already passed the moon gate and came in her direction.

Xuanyi jade belt, heroic posture.

He walked over to a laurel tree and stood still, with a pleasant smile and a gentle voice, "So you moved to this small courtyard. It's a nice place, the seasons are elegant, and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant."

Han Youning blessed his body, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to count the dowry?"

Zhao Chen nodded, "Yes. Look, you came out of the kitchen, did you make some snacks?"

"Glutinous rice osmanthus cake."

Zhao Chen raised his feet and walked towards the small kitchen, "I happen to be hungry, I want to taste your craft."

Han Youning frowned, "The little girl's craftsmanship is rude, if Your Highness is hungry, why don't you let the big kitchen send some snacks."

"Don't bother."

Zhao Chenjing entered the small kitchen, picked up an osmanthus cake from the cage drawer and ate it.

His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked quite satisfied, "What you do is different from others, white and soft, very cute."

Han Youning felt uncomfortable in her heart, and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw her, "You look so cute."

She avoided his gaze and lowered her head to clean up the osmanthus cake, "Your Highness Xie appreciates."

Zhao Chen looked at the two boxes containing osmanthus cakes on the side, embossed with plum blossoms, and asked, "Are you going to give this osmanthus cake to others?"

Han Youning snorted and closed the lid on the box, "Your Highness, go down and count the dowry, the old lady and the second lady are still waiting outside."

Zhao Chen shrank his eyes, "Who is it for?"

Han Youning only felt a heavy coercion on the top of his head, and said lightly, "Old friend."

"Hmm."

Zhao Chen took a saucer, packed a few osmanthus cakes from the cage drawer, and left.

Han Youning didn't follow, she wrapped the dim sum box in silk and told Ling'er, "You take it to Duan Yi and ask him to send one to the Jin Palace, and one to the Wei Xing Dart Bureau."

Ling'er responded and walked away with the box.

The dowry was counted for half a day.

At the end, Han Youning was called over by Zhao Chen.

Chen Man's dowry was finally made up, and what was missing was converted into silver at the price.

Zhao Chen checked it carefully and refused to let it go at all. Even the account books of the shop grange, he looked through it.

Mrs. Han and Xiao Wen sent someone back to the room to get the silver several times, and after this toss, the two of them should be almost in the background

Hollowed out.

Zhao Chen's account book was neatly stacked, and he put the land deed, house deed and silver ticket in a box, "Since the dowry of the Duchess of Xianguo is not safe in your hands, let's hand it over to her niece for the time being."

Old Madam Han was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to refute it.

Xiao Wen obediently handed over the key to the warehouse, hoping that the matter would be stopped and not pursued further.

Mrs. Han was thinking about her son in prison, she went to see it yesterday, Han Rui was whipped to the point that he was torn to the point that he was invisible.

Han Rui said that it was the crown prince who carried out the execution.

He didn't even ask anything, just whipped him with a whip.

But I don't know where the prince got so much hatred!

She said in a good voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the dowry has been completed, can you let the dog out?"

Zhao Chen ate glutinous rice osmanthus cake and said lightly, "Lone is not a person who is unsentimental, but Ling Lang is not the only one who makes mistakes. The second lady embezzled the dowry of the former duchess without permission, and she was not guilty. The old lady said, which one do you want to protect?"

Xiao Wen's face changed suddenly.

Old Madam Han almost didn't hesitate, "Xiao Wen's theft has been committed seven times, and when the dog is released from prison, he will write a letter of resignation and return it to his mother's house."

"Good."

Zhao Chen got up and said to Han Youning, "Tomorrow Dali Temple will try the case, you are going to take a trip."

Han Youningfu stepped down and watched him leave with his hands in his hands.

Xiao Wen couldn't cry anymore and questioned Mrs. Han.

Han Youning glanced at them coldly, and went back to the room with Ling'er holding the box and account book.

--

Out of the Dingguo Mansion, Zhao Chen asked lightly, "Where did the dim sum go?"

Wei Xiao said, "One box was sent to the Jin Palace, and one box was sent to the Wei Xing Dart Bureau."

Zhao Chen's eyes were cold, and he turned on his horse, "I haven't drunk with the lonely Seventh Emperor Uncle for some days."

The ink bamboo of the Jin Palace's mansion is still verdant and lush.

The bamboo shadow is deep, and at the end of the winding path, it is the main courtyard where he often comes to ask for peace.

It was a place that he felt was extraordinarily noble and needed to be revered from an early age.

Zhao Chen entered the courtyard gate, passed through the hall, and saw that the door of the living room was wide open, and there was a table of eight immortals in the center of the hall, with delicacies and delicacies. Zhao Chengyuan, the uncle of the Seventh Emperor, sat on the upper seat, noble and elegant, and looked at him for a long time.

It's as if I knew he was coming.

Zhao Chen bowed down first to say goodbye, then raised the two jars in his hand, and said with a smile, "Luo Jiangchun, my nephew remembers that Uncle Seven Emperors loves to drink this wine."

Zhao Chengyuan motioned for him to sit down, "How can the prince have time to come to the Jin Palace?"

Zhao Chen's eyes swept over a few cases on the side, and there was a box on it, embossed with plum blossoms.

He said quietly, "Come and drink with Uncle Huang."

As he spoke, he slapped open the seal of a jar, helped Zhao Chengyuan fill it, poured it for himself, and sat down.

"Uncle Huang has been back in Beijing for so long, and his nephew is entangled in mundane affairs, so he has not been able to come to drink with Uncle Huang. I have come to plead for sin today."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled lightly, "There are so many palace banquets, you don't know how much wine you have to pay tribute to this king. It seems that I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and the prince's alcohol consumption has grown."

"How can the wine at the palace banquet be the same as that of our uncle and nephew."

Zhao Chen raised his glass with both hands, and stared directly at Zhao Chengyuan, "Nephew, this first cup, I wish the emperor a long and blessed life."
