Chapter 171: Downposting
"Isn't that me?"
Xue Pan raised his head and laughed, and when the two of them sat down, he talked about the reason. The Xue family has two or three properties in Beijing, but they are all in the outer city, and Xue Pan feels inconvenient to live. So these days, he simply sold the house, and the money he got from purchased the house here, but he became a neighbor with Li Weijian.
After a little tea, Xue Pan immediately got up and left. Li Weijian squinted his eyes and laughed in his heart, he didn't believe a word of what Xue Pan said!
Where would you be so coincidental to buy it next door to your house? And before the house starts, how can you not scan who the neighbors are?
It's just that for a while, I couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the Xue family's gourd, and the left and right were just soldiers coming to block and water to cover up.
Back in the inner house, Fu Qiufang and Qingwen were waiting in the main room, Li Weijian was hungry, and immediately swept away. After eating a little bit, he smiled and said, "Who do you guess the new neighbor is?" β
"Who?" Qingwen asked.
"The Xue family."
Fu Qiufang's face was demure, Hongyu frowned slightly, and Qingwen was already annoyed: "It's the Xue family again?" How can this Xue family be like a skin, and they can't get rid of it? β
The little girl has a grudge, and last time Xue Pan's eyes were swept for a long time, Qingwen has always remembered it.
Fu Qiufang knew that Li Weijian had a gap with the Xue family, so he said: "Live behind closed doors, each family lives by its own family, but it lives next to each other, just ignore it." β
Xiu Ying raised her small fist and said, "In the past, it was not easy to do it in Rongguo Mansion, but now it is different. If that stupid overlord dares to go wild again, I will definitely give him a good look! β
Hongyu said meaningfully: "Xue Pan is fine, I'm afraid that someone else will come to the door." β
Li Weijian was fascinated by the authorities, and Hongyu's words were a little clear, and he suddenly felt a little clear. Could it be that seeing that she was knighted, Sister Bao changed her mind again?
When you think about it, it's hard to say...... The last time I saw Sister Bao, I saw that her expression was different.
Not only did he hear it, except for Xiuying, a few maids and Fu Qiufang heard it. Qingwen saw Li Weijian smiling on her face, and said, "Fourth master, although Miss Bao has a good color, she is not worthy of the fourth master." β
Li Weijian said: "What do you think? I won't marry anyone who will marry Miss Xue. β
Now even the second girl from the Guogong Mansion is not worthy of him, let alone say that she is the daughter of Shangjia's sister. And Sister Bao is like this, Li Weijian can't help but think about it too much, if he Li Weijian is in trouble one day, will Sister Bao turn to others and throw herself into the arms of others?
Li Weijian is not a good person, but he is not outrageously bad. He calculates that outsiders are unscrupulous, but he treats everyone around him very well. It was to coax the second sister to welcome the spring, and it was also to pity her in the future, so she intervened.
As for Sister Bao...... One Baochai came to his wife, and the other did not want to be a concubine; The second income is in the inner house, Hongyu and Qiufang are okay, and the remaining three Qingwen, Xiangling, and Xiuying may be calculated by Sister Bao.
Li Weijian thinks very openly, the second is a human being, there are many good girls in this world, knowing that Sister Bao is not easy to control, why embarrass herself?
After thinking about it, this is not good, if there is no Sister Bao to take care of her, wouldn't Baoyu have to pester Daiyu from time to time? I have to find an opportunity to persuade Sister Bao, then Brother Bao is Sister Bao's wishful husband!
After thinking about it, I raised my eyes and saw a few maids who wanted to speak and stopped. Especially Qingwen, her eyes seem to be smiling but not smiling, as if she can speak, and her heart is full of teasing.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of a few maids, as long as the color is good, I will gather it by my side, right?
Li Weijian coughed twice, but he didn't see it, so he sent a few maids to wander around the side garden, and he discussed with Fu Qiufang about the hot pot in Japan.
The rules of the north and south at the bottom of this pot are only slightly different, Fu Qiufang is a native of Beijing, Li Weijian asked carefully, Fu Qiufang said: "Master, the cook in this house is not to your liking, why don't you look around, and then hire a chef." When the lord comes to Japan as an official, he can't often feast and entertain, so it's not good to go to the restaurant to hire someone else's chef. β
"Reasonable, but the chef is not easy to invite."
Today's Dashun is not divided into eight major cuisines, but only divided into official cuisine and home cooking. What is Official Cuisine? Abalone ginseng swallow wings, only those who can do these well are official dishes. I don't know how to do these things, no matter how well I do it, it's also home-cooked food.
Li Weijian wants to invite a chef who knows official cuisine, but the chef of this official cuisine is not easy to cultivate. Master teaches apprentices, ordinary fish and meat are still distressed, not to mention precious things such as abalone and swallow wings?
is based on the dishes of the official government now, and they are either included in the homes of the powerful early, or they are supported by major restaurants in the morning, and they can't be invited to wait for leisure.
Fu Qiufang also knew the reasoning, so she frowned and said: "Let's bump it around, I can't tell when I will meet it when I will be lucky." β
Li Weijian nodded, and pondered: "If it doesn't work, I'll go and ask for King Zhongyong." β
Fu Qiufang was surprised and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, master. Seeking the Loyal King for a Cook? Aren't you afraid that the prince will be annoyed because of this? β
Li Weijian said with a smile: "You don't understand, the prince is very cool, but if you have a temper with him, you want to give something." β
The next day, Li Weijian sent Wu Haiping to the market to collect ingredients, and he led the Ding brothers to the inner mansion.
originally thought that it was a safe thing, but as soon as he didn't think about it, King Zhongyong had a strange face.
"There are cooks, but I'm afraid I won't need them for resurrection - they are all eunuchs from the palace."
Li Weijian sneered on his face and arched his hand: "It's the student who thinks badly." β
King Zhongyong played with taste: "If you are resurrected and filled into the army, if you capture and kill Galdan Tse Ling in the future, I can't really make you a king with a different surname, and then the saint will give the imperial kitchen." β
King Zhongyong said it, and the surrounding Liang Langzhong echoed and laughed. King Zhongyong laughed for a long time, and suddenly stopped, because he saw that Li Weijian not only did not laugh, but frowned and thought, as if he really had such a plan.
"Uh...... The talent of resurrection is not above the military array, this king is just laughing. "A word of comfort, King Zhongyong's heart suddenly became weird, this Li Fusheng is quite talented, can't he really have the talent of a general?
Just thinking about it, he saw Li Weijian beating the snake with the stick, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, student-"
King Zhongyong interrupted: "They are all knighted, and it is not good to call themselves students anymore." β
Li Weijian thought about it for a while, and then arched his hand: "It's hard to say that the subordinate officer is able to command the army, but if you talk about the army on paper, you still feel that you still have some ability." β
King Zhongyong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's hard to be resurrected, probably read Ji Xiao's new book, or Taizong's "New Command of the Army"? β
Where has Li Weijian seen it, the former has heard of it, and as for the latter, he has never heard of it. But thinking about the battle of Qinghai in the summer and autumn of next year, it is a matter of national fortune and cannot be lost. Because he gritted his teeth and said: "Xia Guan has a lot of experience in training gunners. It was only necessary to let the subordinate officers train for some time, and ensure that the artillery taught was fast and accurate. β
"Hmmm......"
King Zhongyong originally thought that Li Weijian was just a scholar's opinion...... Scholars, I've read two war books, and I always think that the battlefield is just that. In fact, he really let him command the troops, but I'm afraid that even Zhao Kuo is not as good. But listening to Li Weijian say this, King Zhongyong couldn't make up his mind.
The range gauge was measured by Li Weijian, the new gun carriage was designed by him, and even the tires were made by Li Weijian. If you say who is the most proficient in this cannon, it is expected that Li Weijian will be among them.
And in fact, the attainments are unfathomable, so can't there be a new way to train the gunners?
King Zhongyong couldn't make up his mind for a while, and thought: "This matter is not in a hurry. Yesterday, the king entered the palace to face His Majesty, and after thinking about it, he quickly ordered the Qiongya Inner Government to step up the establishment of a milk factory and make gun truck tires full-time. This resurrection offering is meritorious, and the saint has already written it down, and there will be a reward in the future. β
Li Weijian respectfully bowed his hand and thanked him in the direction of the imperial city.
This is what it should mean, and it is expected that his parents will be posthumously sealed.
After a pause, King Zhongyong said again: "The autumn season has ended, if you are not in a hurry to return to your hometown, you will come to the inner mansion in the next few days, right?" β
Li Weijian was not pretentious, and immediately responded, saying: "Yes, after a few days, the official will come to the inner mansion." β
King Zhongyong smiled and bowed his head: "At such an age, I am a newcomer, and I am just a newcomer as soon as I enter the inner mansion and take up the post of Langzhong, I am afraid that it is not appropriate." If you don't take charge of any of the things first, the king will be promoted after the results. β
"The next official, but according to the orders of the prince."
King Zhongyong bowed his head again, and then suddenly remembered something, and said: "There is a person who is good at official cuisine in Shichao Hutong, but this person is too greedy, if it is an emergency, you might as well go to find this person." β
Li Weijian heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and said: "Could it be the imperial chef who came out of the palace?" β
King Zhongyong sneered and laughed: "Where are so many imperial chefs?" However, this person's surname is Kong, he was originally a child of the Confucian family in Qufu, he is not good at the history subset, he prefers to cook, and he didn't know how to fall out with his family a few years ago, so he came to Beijing to settle down. β
Children of the Confucian family? Li Weijian didn't care.
Seeing this, King Zhongyong said: "When Taizong conquered the world, he was in the Confucian family for several days, and he was full of praise for the food in his house. Nowadays, many of the so-called palace dishes are the original Confucian dishes, and there is no need to be satisfied with the resurrection. β
Li Weijian hurriedly bowed down to be taught. Out of the inner house, led the Ding family brothers to hurriedly go to Shichao Hutong to find the surname Kong, how did it happen that today is not a coincidence, the neighbor said that Mr. Kong went out to visit friends, maybe when he will come back.
Li Weijian returned empty-handed, thinking that he would warm the pot in the near future, so he had to throw away the money, and first invited a cook from Xianluju to help, and then went to find the man surnamed Kong later.
There was nothing to do on this day, and when he went to bed at night, Li Weijian saw that Xiuying's mind did not belong, and he was always distracted. After asking a few questions, Na Xiuying said, "What else?" Did you forget my brother? β
Li Weijian suddenly, yes, I have been writing for several months, why haven't I seen Xiuying's brother arrive?
"Could it be that the letter didn't arrive?"
"It was delivered early in the morning," Xiu Ying said angrily: "The eldest brother was afraid that the delivery shop would leave the letter, and then sent another letter, and the second sister replied early this morning, saying that the leather monkey had set off early, but now he didn't know where to go." β
Li Weijian couldn't help but worry: "That brother is still young, so nothing will happen, right?" β
"Him?" Xiu Ying didn't see the slightest worry on her face, and said: "Master doesn't know, my brother is not worry-free, and he can't suffer a loss when he goes out." β
"That's it, I don't know where your brother is hiding and enjoying his happiness. It's night, go to sleep. β
"Hmm."
The next day, Wu Haiping went to Xianluju to order two cooks from the Huiguanfu cuisine, and all the ingredients purchased yesterday were also put into the warehouse. Li Weijian waited until the next day, then took a car to Derong Guofu, and visited Jia's mother first, and then sent the invitation.
It was not good for elders like Mother Jia to go in person, but they ordered Li Kun and Wang Xifeng, and led the girls to Li Weijian's house to celebrate.
Xu was because of Baoyu's abrupt behavior last time, this time Jia's mother never mentioned Baoyu's entourage, and it was expected that Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang had already discussed, and this time Baoyu was not allowed to go again.
It is estimated that the eldest lord Jia Yu wants to go, but the eldest lord Jia Zheng does not go, he is in such a hurry to have something to do, because he can only endure it for the time being.
After a little discussion, Li Weijian got up and said goodbye. Coming out of the hanging flower door of Jia's mother's house, he bumped into Si Qi head-on just after passing through the hall.
"Fourth Master Thrifty!"
Si Qi faced Ai Ai in the middle of the period, and he stopped talking.
These days, the second girl has made a mistake, she can't eat, she can't sleep at night, and even Si Qi is also worried. It is said that the thrifty fourth master is out, and the big guy should be happy. But the marriage party just mentioned it, and before the eight characters were skimmed, the fourth master of Jian was knighted at this moment.
Because it is the second girl who is a concubine, she is no longer worthy of it. If the second girl can't marry in the spring, then how can she be an aunt?
Li Weijian had his own big maid mandarin duck beside him to see him off, Li Weijian paused and said, "It's Si Qi, but the second girl sent you to find me?" β
Si Qi snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." β
"This-" Li Weijian turned around and looked at the mandarin duck with a smile.
The mandarin duck smiled and said: "The fourth master of Jian is a relative in the house, and he is not in a hurry to return, so he walks around the house." β
"Well, I'm tired of the mandarin duck girl."
The mandarin duck shook his braid and turned away, and Li Weijian followed Si Qi towards the east compound. After walking a few steps, seeing that there was no one around, Si Qi said: "Fourth Master Jian, I lied, it's not that the second girl wants to find the fourth master." β
"I know." Li Weijian simply stopped.
Si Qi said aggrievedly: "Fourth Master Jian, don't blame me for being too talkative, you and the second girl...... Can this marriage be successful? β
Li Weijian pushed 265, spread his hands and said: "I don't dare to say anything about this matter now, it's all up to the uncle." If the uncle agrees, then I will marry the second sister in the next year; If the uncle disagrees...... That would have to be put on hold. β
"Thisβ" Si Qi was anxious. She gave up her body and didn't say anything, she still obeyed everything, so she looked forward to being able to get to Li Weijian's side, how could she accept such a result? Because he said eagerly: "Fourth master, can't you think about ideas anymore?" β
"Don't worry, my uncle is only a few years younger than the old lady, and his body is not good. If you don't approve it at this time, you can't say that there will be a turnaround in a year or two? β
While speaking, Li Weijian secretly said that he was guilty, and hurriedly prayed that his uncle would live a long life.
Si Qi's brows stretched slightly, and he sighed: "That's it." The fourth master should go and take a look at the second girl, she has been haggard for the past two days. β
