Chapter 184: The Doorway to Gift-giving

The two cousins chatted affectionately about tea and kung fu, and Wang Gonggong ran back out of breath, followed by two little eunuchs carrying burdens.

One carried two jars of oil, Wang Defa introduced: "This is His Royal Highness's grandfather, using the best sesame seeds in his hometown and hand-squeezing sesame oil." Our mother-in-law let her husband and grandfather taste it. ”

The other carried two baskets of grain, and Wang Defa introduced: "This is even more powerful, this is the grain that His Royal Highness and his brothers planted with their own hands, and His Majesty and the crown prince personally harvested." Most of them were kept by the emperor to worship the god of grains in the spring, and only gave a little to the queen and our mothers to taste the fruits of His Highness's labor. ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Zhu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't forget to nod his head and cooperate.

"Oh, that's precious, isn't it?" Li Wenzhong was flattered and said: "I can accept the oil of Taigong Hu, but the grain grown by His Royal Highness is really unbearable as a courtier." ”

"Hey, what is there for the family to bear, let my uncle and cousin taste it." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said in an airy manner: "If you are more polite, you will be divided." ”

"Okay, brother, you're welcome. I thanked His Highness on behalf of my father, and then let him thank you in person another day. Only then did Li Wenzhong happily personally carry the two baskets of grain back.

As for Mrs. Hu's two jars of sesame oil, because the level was not enough, they were sent by the little eunuch.

Zhu Zhen sent his eldest cousin to the gate of the palace, and everyone walked a long way and beckoned, until he couldn't see the shadow before turning back with Wang Defa.

Wang Defa led the cow, walked out and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic about Cao Guogong?" ”

"I heard in my hometown that relatives are getting closer and closer." Zhu Zhen adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Besides, the eldest cousin is such a good person, and my father also asked us to be closer to him." ”

"Oh, the old slave still thinks that His Highness is for the formation of the three guards." Wang Defa smiled and said: "Duke Cao Guo is in charge of the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and he has to nod his head to set up three guards, from the transfer of troops and the selection of generals, to the allocation of food and salaries for the armor staff." Therefore, His Highness is right to be more close to him. ”

As he spoke, he covered his mouth with a whisk and smiled: "Of course, the old slave thinks too much, His Royal Highness is still young, and his mind is not so complicated." ”

"That's it, how can this king think so much." Zhu Zhen nodded, and the master and servant looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

"But Mama Wang, what's the matter with your two baskets of grain?" Zhu Zhen asked again: "Is it really my father's mother?" ”

"Yes and no." Wang Defa smiled slyly and said in a low voice: "The emperor has indeed rewarded the food planted by His Royal Highness Niangniang, but there are only three or five buckets in total, how can I give them away."

"Even if you give it away, you can't give it all to one." He continued: "So, there is a basket of black beans in that load of grain, which is grown in Hufuzhuang; There is also a basket of rice, which is also grown in Hufuzhuang. But a handful of rice planted by His Highnesses was added. ”

"Aren't you blind?" Zhu Zhen, a good young man with such an upright body, immediately expressed his indignation.

"How can it be a Meng? If such rice is made into rice and eaten in the mouth, who dares to say that not a single grain is planted by His Highness? Wang Defa said confidently: "So that's the rice planted by His Highness." ”

"Wow, Mama Wang, you're so cheap." Zhu Zhen seems to have been opened to a new world.

"Your Highness, there is no way." Wang Defa was afraid that His Royal Highness would treat himself as a slut in the future, so he hurriedly explained:

"I don't know, Cao Guogong is notoriously cautious and honest, if we give him something valuable, he will never accept it.

"What's more, we don't have anything of value in Wan'an Palace......" After a pause, the old eunuch said sadly.

"Where, you're worth a lot of money." His Royal Highness the King of Chu's small mouth is like smeared with honey.

"Oh, Your Highness said so, the old slave will be embarrassed." Father-in-law Wang was very pleased with His Royal Highness's bowl of chicken soup, and he was happy to show off:

"But if you simply give him local products, it will be too shabby, but with this handful of rice, with this gimmick, it will be different. Cao Guogong received peace of mind, and he received it decently, and we didn't break the bank. ”

"That's it, it's learned, it's learned." Zhu Zhen nodded, if it was sent one by one like this, those buckets of rice could be sent to the heavens and the earth.

"By the way, Mama Wang, add a dung pocket to the Great Sage." When he was about to go back, the king of Chu finally remembered Cao Guogong's words.

"The old slave has already asked the people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to help with the work." Wang Defa smiled dotingly: "I also asked them to make a saddle and bridle for His Highness, and I can send it over in two days." ”

How fine Wang Defa is, if he is not fine, he will not be the head of Wan'an Palace. Zhu Zhen could think of everything, he thought about it in advance; What Zhu Zhen didn't expect, he also thought about it in advance.

It's just that I didn't expect His Highness to be so addicted to it, and he just happened to ride the Great Sage around for a walk......

"By the way, the cow father-in-law over there also said that he would send the great sage over another day, check his body, repair the cow's hooves, and nail a pair of cow's paws to it."

"Uh-huh, okay, okay." Zhu Zhen happily touched the head of the Great Sage of Pingtian and said, "How about it, it's right to come back with this king, right?" You are now a royal treat, the only one in the world! ”

The big buffalo snorted, which was considered a thumbs up.

"Find a few daughters-in-law for it another day...... "Wang Gong said fairly: "This is His Royal Highness's cow, how can he be worthy of it without three wives and four concubines?" ”

"Mmmm, you can arrange it......" As Zhu Zhen spoke, the big buffalo suddenly pouted his front hooves and almost fell him off the cow's back.

"Your Highness beware." Father-in-law Wang hurriedly supported him and said strangely: "It looks like a strong cow, and he doesn't pull the cart, why are his legs weak?" ”

Xianrenju is an inconspicuous two-story restaurant near Hudou Lane.

The interior of this small restaurant is very elegantly decorated, and the materials are also very high-grade. There are also calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls.

Take a closer look, there are many works of famous people in the world, which can really be said to have caves. For example, there are several pairs of calligraphy by Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the dynasty, which shows that the origin of the store is really not small.

In the single room with the word "spring" on the second floor of the immortal residence, Feng Sheng and Hu Weiyong, who were changing into casual clothes, were contemplating.

The dignified Song Guogong didn't want anyone to serve him, and personally poured wine for Hu Weiyong and said: "Hu Xiang, do you say that the emperor is going to do something to our Huaixi?" ”

"Yes and no." Hu Weiyong held the wine glass in both hands, and Zhizhu said:

"The capital has been changed to the capital, and the power of the Hou masters will definitely be greatly affected. But this is also the proper meaning of the question, the world has been decided, and the generals with heavy troops are naturally no longer pleased, and any emperor will find a way to take away the military power. ”

"A glass of wine releases the military power?" Feng Sheng asked in horror.

"Then you can have fun." Hu Weiyong touched a cup with him and said with a smile: "Grandpa, do you think that we are on the throne and are the same as Song Taizu?" ”

"Not really." Feng Sheng shook his head and said, "If Song Taizu had the ruthlessness of the upper position, he would have taken back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun a long time ago, and he would not have let his younger brother die." ”

"Hehe, grandpa is high." Hu Weiyong gave a thumbs up and said: "To the point, the founding emperors are all ruthless, but our ruthless bones are also in the founding kings of all dynasties."

"Who would have thought that the central capital city, which was built at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, would say that it would not be moved?" Hu Weiyong sighed and said:

"What do you mean by a strong man's broken wrist? This is called a strong man breaking his wrist, just this ruthless, the superior can do anything. ”

He looked at Feng Sheng and persuaded faintly: "So grandpa, persuade the brothers, don't be rash, honestly hand over the military power, go home to live for the rest of your life, and the upper position will definitely make you happy and long-lived, rich and old." ”

"Fart!" Feng Sheng couldn't help but scold.
