Yesterday, I ate cold and sticky food all day, and drank wine in the evening, and after a stomach with sauerkraut and fish soup, Lu Xiaowen's stomach was much more comfortable.

"I've seen this kind of fish in Kawachi, did you learn it from that travelogue last time?"

"Hmm...... Pretty much. "I didn't learn it from books, but let's talk about it first.

"The fish is tender and smooth, the sour soup is slightly spicy and appetizing, your craftsmanship is rare."

A large amount of rattan pepper was put in the sauerkraut fish, and Lu Xiaowen ate it very carefully.

The braised short ribs are not boneless, and when you shiw hard, the soaked sauce spreads in your mouth. This is the soul of gnawing ribs, and those ribs that are deboned are missing a layer of flavor.

Both of them are heavy dishes, and the white jade tofu soup is much lighter. Cut the tender tofu into small cubes, and then take the most tender part of the head of the enoki mushroom and chop it, using only these two ingredients, just right to relieve the oiliness of the meat.

Lu Xiaowen can really eat, He Shaoguang couldn't eat a bowl of rice, and he swept all the dishes on the table by himself.

He Shaoguang tentatively asked him if he was full?

General Lu regained his reserve: "It's delicious, it's enough." ”

"I'll go to my mother's place, you..." After eating, Lu Xiaowen originally wanted to call her to talk to her mother about Xiao Yan, but it was better not to let her know about the troubles.

"It's okay, you wait here for me first."

After giving a word, Lu Xiaowen walked straight to Lilac Garden.

Xiao Yan is Xiao Chongdao's only daughter, and Concubine Xiao Shu is her aunt, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is good, and they have not lost contact after entering the palace.

Not to mention that Concubine Xiao Shufei has been selected for several rounds of the draft, and she is an old man in the palace.

Although it is not said that she was favored when she was a girl, because she gave birth to the five princes Shi Hao, the five princes were smart and clever, and they wrote poems at the age of five, which was quite aura.

I heard that he had recently been taught martial arts by the saints, and he was deeply respected, and at the age of twelve, many ministers in the court and the central government joined the camp of supporting him and proposed to appoint him as the crown prince.

Although the saint has not yet had a clear direction, he pays the most attention to and loves this son, so Concubine Xiao's status has also risen, Concubine Xiao is already an arrogant person, and she has become more proud in recent years.

Xiao Yan has often run to the palace since she was a child, and Concubine Xiao Shu grew up with her, and her temperament has learned ten out of ten, and her appearance is eight points similar to her aunt, all of which are bright and atmospheric national colors.

has just reached the age of Lu, and those who seek relatives have stepped through the threshold.

But no matter how Xiao Chongdao chose for her, it didn't suit her heart. Xiao Chongdao was puzzled, and after questioning, he realized that he had already had a favorite person in his palm.

However, that person had already married, and it was Lu Xiaowen, the general of An Yuan.

How could Xiao Chongdao and Mrs. Xiao be willing to marry their daughter to someone else as a concubine? Even if it is a flat wife, she has wronged her daughter.

What's more, Jiang Ningyu's mother clan has a very high prestige.

It's just that Xiao Yan saw that the matter had been revealed, and there was nothing to hide, so she didn't care about the trouble, dragged her refusal to marry, and hanged herself on a hunger strike if she didn't marry Lu Xiaowen.

The Xiao couple also tied people to a sedan chair and wanted to forcibly marry, but she escaped halfway, and only found the embarrassed Xiao Yan in the broken temple in the mountains a few days later.

Since then, the Xiao couple didn't dare to force her anymore, and they dragged on for two or three years, becoming an "old girl", and just when the family was worried, they waited for the news of Jiang Ningyu's death.

When the Lu Mansion was grieving, Xiao Yan locked herself in the boudoir and laughed, laughing and laughing and began to cry.

After the funeral, she asked the Xiao couple to ask for a remarriage for her.

Mrs. Xiao also loved this only daughter miserably, and she and Xiao Chongdao combined, and now there is no better way, so she pulled down her old face and handed over the post.

I didn't expect to be rejected by Mrs. Lu, and I didn't expect the Lu family to quietly marry the daughter of a six-grade official.

There were many people who watched the Xiao family's jokes before, which undoubtedly slapped the Xiao family in the face.

The news naturally reached Concubine Xiao Shufei's ears, and it was hard to guarantee that she would not force Lu Xiaowen to raise Xiao Yan as a wife for the sake of the Xiao family and her own face.

Lu Xiaowen pursed his lips, his face was not good. The old lady sat down at the top and sighed heavily.

"In your opinion, how is this matter resolved? If Concubine Xiao goes to ask for the Holy Decree..."

"Mother, Xiao Yan can't enter the Lu family." Lu Xiaowen frowned, "The Lu family is already too conspicuous, Concubine Xiao Shu gave birth to the five princes, and marrying Xiao Yan is equivalent to standing in the team of the five princes." ”

"Besides, when Xiao came to the door, my mother told me that Xiao Yan has a flamboyant temperament and a prominent family background, and Ming Yan and Ming Zhen are still young, so I am afraid that they will be taught badly."

The son was afraid that Shaoguang's temperament was too soft to suppress her. Even if she is nominally a flat wife, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not oppress Shaoguang. ”

...

"So, are you going to ask for a mercy before the Holy One? Well, you can just go. ”

After Lu Xiaowen left, Zhou's mother helped the old lady to walk in front of the hall, looking at the goldfish playing in the water tank, the old lady seemed to ask casually:

"You said that Xiaowen is different from Ning Yu to Shaoguang's child?"

Mother Zhou didn't say anything, she knew that the old lady just wanted to talk to herself.

"Today's Xiao Yan, he also took into account that Shaoguang is not bullied, it is really different. Both of my grandchildren love her too. The daughter of the He family is very good. ”

In the imperial study, Lu Xiaowen knelt in the hall.

"Oh... You don't want to marry that girl from the Xiao family? The sage raised his eyebrows, Concubine Xiao Shu had already mentioned this matter yesterday, although he did not agree, but he did not immediately refuse, he was still considering it.

"Yesterday, Concubine Shu also begged me to ask for a favor for the girl of the Xiao family. That girl has been delayed for several years for you, but you are ruthless. ”

"The minister has married a wife, and he has broken Miss Xiao's heart, and he doesn't want to make his wife sad anymore." Lu Xiaowen kowtowed to show his intentions.

"If she is promoted to be a flat wife, the status of the He woman is low, and she doesn't dare to have any opinions."

The saint seemed to want to think about it, "This is a good family business." ”

"The minister does not dare to have other ideas, he will always be His Majesty's courtier."

After a long time, Lu Xiaowen heard the sage's soft boots step on the ground and come to him. Then the saint lifted him up with his own hands—

"Look at you, if you don't marry, don't marry, what are you doing kowtowing if you have nothing to do? It's all green, you go back, your wife will definitely scold me for being inconsiderate when she sees it. ”

……

He Shaoguang didn't know the reason, she saw Lu Xiaowen's forehead bruised, but when he accidentally fell and touched it, she deliberately pressed it when she gave him medicine:

"Does it hurt? The pain will be remembered for a long time. How old a person is, he can still throw himself. ”

Recently, Lu Xiaowen always rushed back for lunch, and the two got to know each other a lot, and they would make some jokes with each other.

He Shaoguang was always curious, so he asked him: "Didn't you always have lunch with the soldiers in the palace or in the camp before?" Why do I always go home lately, because I make it so delicious? ”

Lu Xiaowen remembered the drunken appearance of someone on that day:

"Some people dislike that there is no food in this mansion, and the third brother is an idler in the mansion, I can't let you find the third brother to drink and talk, right?"
