Chapter 90 Then send the fireplace

The first attempt, the feeling obtained was very good, Emperor Zhaowu was looking at those chicken feet, and the duck feet also lost their original disgust.

Instead, I wondered what it would taste like.

As a result, after a while, the remaining half of the lo-mei platter was cleaned up by the emperor and queen.

Both of them are still a little unsatisfied, and Emperor Zhaowu is even more smashing this aftertaste.

"My father is really cunning and cunning."

"I guessed that we would hesitate when we saw this thing, so I hurriedly asked Duan Li to come over and ask for it, and I actually wanted to enjoy this delicious food alone."

Empress Shen on the side, although she was also a little unsatisfied, but she didn't think much about giving half to the emperor.

It was rare for his old man to come across something he liked and ask them for it, and he gave it.

"And this Zhaode, why don't you know how to send more over, who can eat such a little?"

After complaining about the emperor, Emperor Zhaowu complained that Huo Junyao sent too little.

"Your Majesty, it's not right for you to talk like this, this girl is afraid that she hasn't made much, and she doesn't just give it to us, right?"

Emperor Zhaowu touched his nose in disdain.

"That's what I said, and I didn't mean to blame, but Zhaode's cooking skills really don't have to be said."

"I'm a little envious of Ningyang."

Hearing this, Empress Shen pursed her lips and smiled, it is really a blessing to have such a daughter with extraordinary cooking skills, and Ning Yang loves food.

The next day, the red sleeves entered Beijing again, this time not only with lo-mei, but also sixty fireplaces that had been prepared, and letters from the eldest princess of Ningyang.

Yesterday, not long after she returned to the villa after sending the lo-mei, the Duke of Ji and the Yongning Marquis Mansion sent people over, obviously not having enough to eat.

In this regard, Huo Junyao was quite generous and marinated all the remaining ingredients, and made five more portions, which was much more than yesterday.

"Hahaha, little sister is so good."

Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, Huo Jinyan is at home most of the time, and he is overjoyed to see the red sleeves bring lo-mei again.

"Second young master, the slave maid came over today not only to deliver lo-mei, but the third young lady got some fireplaces and wanted to sell them, and asked the second young master to help."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and then didn't think about it; "That's fine, how many are there? A few of my friends have been talking about a fireplace for a long time, and I'll have them informed later. ”

"Sixty of them were brought this time, but fifty of them were for the emperor."

"Sixty?"

Huo Jinyan was quite surprised, the fireplace was made of pure iron, and one would cost twenty or thirty catties, and sixty would be close to two thousand catties of iron.

But what made him even more puzzled was that the little sister got sixty, and she actually wanted to give fifty to the emperor?

She seems to have sent more than a dozen in the front, isn't this a bit too loser?

Although the value of this iron is only three or five dollars, the main reason is that it is not easy to buy, and many times it may not be possible to buy it with money.

"Now there are snow disasters in various parts of the Yu Dynasty, and these fifty fireplaces are donated by the young lady to the imperial court for relief of the victims."

"Besides, this iron is also a reward from the emperor in front, if you just take it out and sell it like this, I'm afraid that the emperor will be unhappy if he finds out."

Now Huo Jinyan understood.

In my heart, I admire the righteousness of my little sister, and I feel that my little sister is a little clever ghost.

took the things given by the emperor and gave them to the court, which not only made the emperor unable to blame her for selling the fireplace, but also gave herself a reputation for righteousness.

"I see, it's a good move for my little sister."

"But why did my little sister suddenly remember to sell fireplaces? Aren't you selling vegetables in front? She's short on money? ”

Hearing this, Red Sleeves nodded and said; "Yes, there are so many people in the villa, although Yuefeng is from the house, but the lady still has to take care of the food and drink, and there is not much money left."

"Isn't my mother over there?"

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess naturally feels sorry for Miss and wants to give Miss money, but Miss said that she has a way to make money, and it is not good to keep asking the house."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyan was silent, he was both sad and distressed about his little sister's words.

In the end, she just came back to this home, I guess she is still a little scared in her heart, and she doesn't dare or want to ask her family for too much.

She had lived alone outside for many years, but she was more independent than the young people who lived in the high gate.

Thinking that when he was his little sister's age, he still relied on the money given by the government to live, and he was a little ashamed.

"How much is this fireplace girl going to sell for?"

Since the little sister said so, and the old lady also acquiesced over there, he is not good at giving money himself, so let's help one or two from somewhere else.

"The price set by the young lady is two yuan each, after all, a fireplace only needs thirty catties of iron."

"Well, the price is pretty good."

"You leave ten fireplaces behind, and you go about your own business, and then come here when you're done."

Red Sleeves hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and then, as he did yesterday, he left the Mansion of the Duke of Ji and went straight to the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongning, the Mansion of Fang, and finally went to the palace.

It's just that today she didn't rush to the harem, but asked a small chamberlain to help him find the head of Gao Fu, although these fifty fireplaces were given to the imperial court, but the eldest princess had explained that she wanted the emperor to know.

Besides, she still has a letter to give to the emperor.

The little chamberlain also knew Red Sleeves, and she also knew that she was the maidservant next to the Lord of Zhaode County of the Duke of Jiguo's Mansion, after all, during this time, Red Sleeves often went in and out of the palace.

After a while, Gao Fu came.

"The slave has seen the head of Gao Fu."

"The red-sleeved girl is exempt."

Gao Fu raised his hand with a smile, and then asked; "I don't know what the red-sleeved girl is doing to let our family come over?"

Then, Red Sleeves quickly said his intentions, and presented the letter of the eldest princess of Ningyang with both hands.

"Lord Zhaode is righteous, our family admires, just hand over the things to our family, and our family will report to the emperor later."

"Thank you Gao Fu, the slave maid still needs to go to the harem for some things, so I will retire first."

Seeing the food box in her hand, Gao Fu naturally knew that there must be something delicious in it.

"Red-sleeved girl, does this food box have the emperor's?"

"Of course there is, Miss prepared two more copies, one for the emperor and the queen, and one for the emperor to send to Da'an Palace."

"Then you will give the emperor's share to our family."

Red Sleeves thought about it, this is fine, and hurriedly handed over the food box, thanked him again, and then turned to leave.

Gao Fu carried the food box and told the chamberlain to send the fireplace to the Ministry of Works first, and he went to the direction of the harem.

That's right, it's the harem.

In the past two days, Emperor Zhaowu has thought of Ningyang's plan to change taxes from time to time, and the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks that this plan is good, and he wants to try to implement it, but when he thinks of the consequences of doing so, he hesitates a little.

was distraught, so naturally he couldn't see those twists and turns, so he could only go to Fengqi Palace to chat with Queen Shen for a while.

At this time in Fengqi Palace, not only the emperor and queen, but also the prince who had not been seen for many days was also there, and he was standing in front of the emperor with low eyebrows at this time.
