Just after a bite.

Liu E froze.

I couldn't help but taste a few more bites, and looked at Zhao Zhen incredulously, the surprise on my face was about to materialize.

"This pastry is soft and fragrant, and it melts in the mouth, when did my son practice the skill of cooking?"

"This is what my son just learned today?"

"Oh?" Liu E suddenly became interested and asked, "Which cook in the imperial dining room has such skills?" Let the mourners reward him well. ”

"Not the cook in the palace." Zhao Zhen said proudly: "It's a restaurant shopkeeper brought by Yunrang from outside the palace, what's the name?" ”

Xu Mao hurriedly answered: "Back to Your Majesty, the saint, that person's name is Qin Wei, he is the shopkeeper of Qin Ji Restaurant in Bianliang, and he is also the proprietor. ”

"Qin Ji ......"

Liu E muttered, and suddenly thought of something.

"But the Qin Ji who caused the state bridge to catch fire some time ago?"

How could Zhao Zhen be clear about such a trivial matter.

However, Xu Mao nodded and said: "Exactly, Qin Ji has opened four branches now, and many restaurants in Bianliang have joined Qin Ji, and the plaque has also been replaced by Qin Ji's signboard." ”

Xu Mao told Qin Wei's lineage in great detail.

As the emperor's close attendant, if he doesn't even have this ability, he doesn't have to mess around.

"I see......"

Liu E nodded seemingly casually, but her gaze became deep.

"That Qin Wei is really good, not only does he make a good dish, but this person is also quite knowledgeable, and he can even export chapters."

If people are in a good mood and look at everyone is pleasing to the eye, Zhao Zhen's mood is very good at this moment, and he appreciates Qin Wei even more.

Liu E retracted her thoughts, looked at Zhao Zhen's approving look, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh? The person who can make the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty praise himself, the mourning family wants to see what he is capable of. ”

"When Fang was in the imperial dining room, Qin Wei once said, 'Women are weak, but mothers are strong'!" Zhao Zhen seemed to have the intention of pleasing Liu E, and continued: "He also said that the reason why his mother lost her appetite and became thinner and thinner was because of her hard work in state affairs, but more for her son. ”

Liu E's face softened a lot, and she seemed to be a little moved.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty regarded her as a beast of the flood, for fear that she would learn from Na Lu Wu and usurp the Great Song Dynasty, but it would be better for a teenager to see it fairly.

What to say about the dictatorship of the Queen Mother!

Liu E does not deny it, but she also does not tolerate slander.

Those courtiers who are shouting all day long to force her to return to the court, is it really for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty?

Politicians are never black and white!

It's just that I didn't expect that the person who understands her best in this world is not a courtier, nor is it a flattering speculator, but a small shopkeeper of an unknown restaurant.

Is it ironic? Is it ridiculous?

Liu E retracted her thoughts and said with a smile: "He is a knowledgeable person, and if he has the opportunity to mourn his family, he will definitely meet this Qin Wei." ”

"It's just that my son is a little puzzle......d," Zhao Zhen nodded, and said in confusion: "According to investigation, this person was born in a scholarly family, and his deceased father Qin Feng was a Jinshi in Jingde for four years, so why didn't he enter the court as an official?" Moreover, Ye Shuangchou reported that Qin Feng was also quite familiar with Yin Wangzhen of Kaifeng Mansion, Fan Zhongyan and others. ”

Why is such a person unknown?

"Qin Feng's mourning family has seen it, that is a stubborn person, an upright person, but he doesn't know how to be tactful."

I think about the thin shirt in the spring of that year.

Liu E reminisced about the scene when Zhenzong Zhao Heng was alive.

It was also in this Yanfu Palace that Zhao Heng in his later years was obsessed with sealing Zen and auspiciousness, which was the first time he proposed the idea of sealing Zen in Mount Tai.

Liu E also tried her best to persuade at that time, but Zhao Heng in his later years had long since been unable to listen to the advice.

As a result, controversy broke out in the court, especially those young officials who had just entered the officialdom, and they boldly wanted to gather a large number of scholars to beat the drum, in order to warn the emperor to stop this superstitious theory of working hard and hurting money.

One can imagine how angry Zhao Heng was at that time.

This group of young scholars who have not yet entered the ranks have also ruined their bright future.

Qin Feng, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Miao and others are one of them, and Qin Feng was dismissed by Zhenzong to not mention the fame of the top three Jinshi in order to protect his classmates and friends, and he was punished for not being an official for the rest of his life.

It's just that he didn't arrive, but more than ten years later, Qin Feng's son gave up the imperial examination and joined the business.

Liu E shook her head and sighed: "That young man is better than his father back then, so I don't know what he meant by ......saying this." ”

……

Standing in front of the small courtyard of the ancestral house, Qin Wei sighed a little in his heart.

This was his first home after waking up from a dream of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was sold after only three days.

At that time, he didn't feel any regrets at all, but now that he looks at it, in just half a year, when he really integrated into this era, his thoughts were slowly being assimilated by the times.

Talking about returning to his roots and recognizing his ancestors, Qin Wei felt for the first time that this was his home, and he could place his few sense of belonging.

Miss Liu's servant, Mother Wu, happened to push the door out, and when she saw Qin Weihou, she hurriedly saluted.

"I've seen Qin Langjun."

"Oh, I happened to be passing by here......"

His thoughts were interrupted, Qin Wei sighed slightly in his heart, nodded and prepared to leave.

Mother Wu saluted again and said gratefully: "Thank you Gongzi Qin for saving me that day, Lang Zhong said that if it is half a day late, my young lady may be in danger." ”

"It's okay, they're all neighbors, just open your mouth if there's anything difficult."

Maybe it's because of the ancestral house, Qin Wei always feels a little inexplicable every time he sees the master and servant of the Liu family.

Not just the neighbors, even he felt that he was the neighbor and the next door was home.

"Qiao Feng, Duan Yu! Go and fill a few water tanks in the front yard, Lang Jun is kind and does not criticize the domestic servants, but we can't be presumptuous, we must do a good job and take care of the family! ”

Sun Haomin's broken gong next door roared again, and there were only four people in the yard, and the chickens and dogs jumped suddenly.

"Uncle Sun, don't think we don't know, you just want to support us to work, so you can go next door to find that Wu Ma Laga."

Duan Yu's voice was even louder.

This is good, half the people on the street know that Sun Haomin has taken a fancy to Aunt Wu next door.

"See and laugh, discipline is not strict, discipline is not strict!"

Seeing that Mother Wu was frozen in place, her face turned from red to black, Qin Wei was embarrassed in place and hurriedly apologized.

"This house ......" Qin Wei hesitated a little, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later." ”

He still wants to buy his ancestral house back, just like Hu Ping said, how can anyone be willing to give up their own home?

"Qin Langjun stays ......" Mother Wu hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to stop Qin Wei, and whispered: "The slave family has a reluctance, can you ask Qin Langjun to arrange an errand for the slave family in the mansion?" ”

"My family?"

Qin Wei looked at Mother Wu inexplicably.

How can there be a reason for a neighbor's servant to work for himself? This kind of thing is not allowed by law to be one servant and two masters, and if you don't make trouble, you will be subject to lawsuits.

"A few years ago, the young lady and the slave family came to the capital from Hangzhou, and the original family expenses were sent by the master every other month, but later they ......."

Mother Wu explained in embarrassment, and looked at Qin Wei embarrassedly halfway through speaking.

What happened later, Qin Wei knew it.

That was when he came to the door to redeem the ancestral house, but was threatened and blackmailed by Liu Jian, and Miss Liu interceded with him, and was also slapped by Liu Jian. It is estimated that it was because of this incident that Liu Jian cut off the financial resources of the two.

But how can I say that she is also my own daughter, is it okay to do this?
