"Wei Fang, you came just in time, Bengong is about to look for you. Sit first, sit first. ”

Wei Fang said politely and sat down on the embroidery pier next to him.

"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for Weichen?"

"Alas, it's not a big deal, the main thing is that you also know that last year there was a flood in Jingzhou, and people were displaced. Countless refugees poured into Shangjing. Although the imperial court gave money for relief. But in front of this large number of people, it is obvious that they have more than enough heart and not enough strength. Therefore, my father asked me to take some time to go to Jingzhou for a field trip and another governance. ”

Wei Fang was surprised and said: "This is a good thing, Your Highness, you live in the East Palace, and you have no connection with the people. I took advantage of this opportunity to communicate with the people and deal with the problems encountered by the people. It will be positive for your prestige, your reputation. ”

The crown prince snorted: "Although this is the case, Wei Fang, the palace rarely leaves the palace." I haven't even been to Guozixue much. If you go out, will it work? I've heard that Jingzhou isn't peaceful. There are robbers everywhere. So what this palace means, how about you help me run for a trip first and inquire about the situation? ”

Wei Fang frowned, but quickly stretched.

He hugged his fist at the prince: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The crown prince breathed a sigh of relief, laughed loudly, and walked down to hold Wei Fang's hands with his hand: "There is Aiqing in this palace, why worry about it." ”

Wei Fang didn't respond, so he kept his head silent, but his tightly knit brows betrayed his heart.

Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits.

Such a thing as compensating the victims of the disaster is left on a fool, and a fool knows how to choose.

The prince was good, so he was nailed to the East Palace.

Knowing what he meant, it was nothing more than that he was afraid that if he left the capital city, other princes would take the opportunity to compete for favor.

Confused, let's not mention that the crown prince has been on you for 20 years, you have done a good job of caring for the victims, even if other princes have great ability, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not support him.

Alas.

Thinking of this, Wei Fang sighed and felt tired.

"By the way, Wei Fang, I heard that you have an outhouse in Wuyi Lane?"

Wei Fang came back to his senses when he heard this, and paused for a moment: "Who did Your Highness listen to?" ”

"Hey, don't be nervous. Man, what's wrong with having a house. What's more, you are also single and unmarried. When will you call this palace to take a look, and this palace will also see what kind of strange person you can charm your brother Wei. ”

Wei Fang was terrified: "Your Highness, you have golden branches and jade leaves, how dare you be commensurate with your brother." ”

"It doesn't matter, although you and I are kings and ministers, we are actually flesh and blood. With one heart and one mind, what is there to see? ”

Under the prince's remarks, Wei Fang was somewhat moved in his heart.

The prince struck while the iron was hot, and directly set up a family banquet in the East Palace to invite Wei Fang.

During the eating and drinking, the two talked a lot, all of which were short things for some parents. Although it is useless, it can bring the two closer.

When the banquet ended and Wei Fang left, the drunken prince who had just pretended to be drunk immediately became clear.

His eyes radiated light, and he said to the shadows: "Shadow, you follow Wei Fang and see where his outer house is raised." When I had the chance, I personally visited with a gift. ”

The favored concubine beside the crown prince hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, will this be too gracious to him." It's just a concubine. Do you need to visit in person? ”

The crown prince shook his head: "You don't understand, this palace is not visiting a concubine. It's the Wei family. Wei Laohu led the troops outside and held great power. If I win over the Wei family for my use. Does this palace still need to see the face of his father? Go for the shadows. ”

The shadow said yes and turned away.

…

In the next half a month, Xiao Zhang stayed in Wuyi Lane when he had nothing to do and supervised the renovation of the restaurant.

The king of Xiangdong couldn't be angry about this, but the princess Xiao Yuxin also mixed in, even if he was angry, he could only endure it.

I can only find a small notebook, write down the dissatisfaction with my son these days, and wait until the princess returns to the palace, and then clean it up.

"In five or six days, the restaurant will almost be renovated. Next, it's time to look for a chef and publicity. ”

In the Xiangdong Palace, Xiao Zhang personally cooked a table of sumptuous dishes and prepared a bottle of wine.

"After working so hard, I can finally start making money. Nerd, you're sure you won't lose, right? In order to renovate this restaurant, I threw thousands of taels into it. ”

Xiao Zhang pouted: "Can you have some confidence in my craft." Don't talk about you, I also threw thousands of taels into it. These days, Cao Ding has used all the money for the rock candy he sold me. ”

"I believe in your craft, but I mainly don't believe in other people's craft. How many cooks like you are there in Dade? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yuxin also sandwiched a dish and put it in his mouth, whining and nodding vigorously.

"If you think so, you won't make a lot of money. What is the future development trend of society, it must be rapid and large-scale. How much can I cook by myself? How many things can you do? The best option is for us to train our own cooks. Anyway, there are a lot of imperial chefs in the palace, you can lend a few, and I will train them first. ”

When he said these words, Xiao Zhang was still figuring out in his heart that if he could lend the imperial kitchen, it would also be a publicity gimmick.

Xiao Yuxin sighed and said in shock: "Idiot, you're kidding." How can the imperial chef in the palace be borrowed casually. Father would not have agreed. ”

"Look, how do you know if you haven't tried?"

"You don't have to try."

Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said, "In this case, I'll change heads with the emperor's uncle." ”

"Change? How to change it? Are you in the palace? That's fine. ”

"Don't make trouble, you'll take care of me when I enter the palace restaurant. I'm talking about this exchange. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhang picked up the pot of wine from the table.

"This is my own wine. When you return to the palace later, bring a pot to the emperor's uncle, and ask him for some imperial cooks. ”

"It's just a pot of wine, and it's not like there's nothing in the palace."

"Hey, can the boiled water in the palace compare with my wine?"

Xiao Yuxin was not convinced, and grabbed the wine jug to drink.

"Well, what are you doing, you're going to get drunk."

Xiao Yuxin didn't care: "Drunk? Sister, I can't pour a thousand cups. ”

After saying that, she filled herself with a cup and dried it in one gulp.

Just when Xiao Yuxin was complaining that there was no difference in this wine, suddenly, it turned red, like a red-hot stone.

She put her hands around her neck, a pained look on her face, and a scolding sound came out of her mouth.

The palace maid who was waiting next to Xiao Yuxin was frightened: "Xiao Zhang, what did you do to the princess!" ”

"Don't be nervous, normal."

Boom.

Xiao Yuxin tried her best to swallow the wine.

I saw her face full of red light, and her face was shocked: "Idiot, what is this wine called?" ”

Xiao Zhang was proud: "Stuffy donkey, it's amazing." ”
