Chapter 18 Luxury Restaurant
Zhao Fujin picked up the teacup, covered his face with long sleeves and tasted tea, and did not answer.
Cai Yan didn't look at her.
Only focused on the tea foam of another tea that was being carefully grinded: "Meng Niangniang sent a message yesterday, hoping that I could tell the official family that when Meng Jiangying and I were young, the two housemothers exchanged marriage letters, and when I became an adult, I could form a good relationship with two surnames." ”
"She has the eight characters that have been put together, and a marriage certificate that has been placed for a long time to testify."
"Even so, Cai Langjun plans to abandon the chaos from the beginning?" Zhao Fujin put down the tea, no wonder Qiong Zhi told himself that Cai Ying and Meng Jiangying were childhood sweethearts, and it turned out that they still had a marriage certificate as evidence.
It's just that this is too strange, since they have a marriage certificate, why did the historical Kangfu Emperor still marry Cai Ying.
"When I was not born, the marriage certificate was signed by the two mothers, and the date of birth was not even indicated." Cai Yan explained: "Later, my grandfather made an accident, and although the Meng family tried their best to save the young son of my grandfather's family, they also returned my marriage certificate. ”
"What Meng Niangniang has in her hands right now is what Meng Niangniang sent to Jiangyin to retrieve after I came to Beijing.
At that time, my mother was afraid that I would be bullied alone in Beijing, so she pressed her handprint on it and filled in my birth date according to Meng Niangniang's request. ”
"It's just that at that time, Meng Niangniang didn't know where I could use it, and the marriage certificate was just for backup.
Later, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came of age, in order to get in touch with the next official family, she specially came to the official family and asked the official family to promise Jiang Ying, the daughter of the Meng family, to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
At that time, the official family moved, but the first queen refused on the grounds of discord, and chose the daughter of the Zhu family as the crown princess. If it weren't for this matter, Meng Niangniang would have gone to the official family herself, and I wouldn't need to mention it myself. ”
"Aren't there still four or five ladies of the Meng family? Why did Meng Niangniang stare at such a scourge? Zhao Fujin had some sympathy for Meng Jiangying, in her opinion, this Meng Jiangying was a brick of the Meng family, and she could move it wherever she needed it.
"The current head of the Meng family is the brother of Meng Niangniang's mother-in-law, and he is a loyal supporter of the official family, he doesn't care what party is in power, he only cares about whether the glory of the Meng family can continue." Cai Yan smiled slightly: "Meng Jiangying's father is the elder brother of the head of the Meng family, and his father chose the heir and the second son, so that the eldest son's family has to look at the face of the brother to live."
Only then did Meng Jiangying be sent to Meng Niangniang, and she had to raise her personally, although the two were called aunts and nephews, they were actually as close as mother and daughter.
Meng Jiangying was taught by him, and he was much rejecting the new party's governance, and only wanted to assist Meng Niangniang in restoring the Yuanyou Party, so he did not hesitate to do so. ”
"What about you?" Zhao Fujin asked.
"I have lived in Jiangyin since I was a child, and as a low-level citizen, I have experienced the two-party government, and I don't think either side is superior." Cai Yan served the brewed tea soup to the side of the screen, and then continued: "The Great Song Dynasty has redundant officials and redundant soldiers, low administrative efficiency, and a large and bloated bureaucracy, and no matter which side they are, they have not been able to solve the problem fundamentally. ”
So, he is not a party.
"Right now, the official family doesn't plan to repair Genyue anymore, Cai Xiang has lost his monarch's heart, and he is not far from being degraded." Cai Yan talked about Cai Jing like a stranger: "I don't want to marry a wife who talks about party disputes day and night, which will definitely annoy Meng Niangniang and make her fall into trouble for me and the Cai family."
Therefore, I can only turn to the emperor to help me through this misfortune. Cai Yan stood tall and jade, stood behind the screen, leaned over slightly at Zhao Fujin in front of the screen, and cautiously gave a forked hand salute to show his sincerity.
What's the use of being sincere, if you let me sacrifice my life to save you, I have to promise some benefits, right?
Just said a few words dryly, and wanted to achieve his wish, but I don't know who I underestimated!
Qiong Yu and Qiong Ye glanced at each other, extremely speechless.
Originally, the matter of Cai Yan is still the master, the official family and the eldest lady have been put on the agenda, and the emperor Ji did not put forward a different opinion, if there is no accident, there will be a will soon be a will, but Cai Yan came to the door at this time to make an appointment, and confessed to these many unknown secrets, if the emperor agreed to descend again, what a big pit in the head!
Cai Yingming didn't want Cai Jing to take it seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have six sons in the family, and Baba chose this to be the master.
If Cai Yan is just a simple descendant of the powerful minister's family, he will not be valued, and with the official family taking care of him, the emperor's life will not be sad.
But his life experience is so complicated, and it also involves Yuanyou's party struggle - this is a big crime of exterminating the clan if it is not done well, and it is difficult for the emperor to fall into good condition no matter how favored he is.
It's just that this is outside, no matter how worried the two of them are, they can't interject at will, so they can only look at Zhao Fujin in unison, hoping that she can say something to refuse.
Zhao Fujin stood up like a person who had nothing to do, bent down to pick up the remote tea bowl, picked up the tea lid and gently touched the teacup, and made a crisp porcelain sound: "This Shen Dongjia in Mingxing Building, I heard that it is attached to my third brother Zhao Kai?" ”
"Your Highness is really clear-eyed." Cai Yan straightened up: "Shen Yue is from Jiangyin and grew up with me since I was a child. ”
"So, the person you support is Zhao Kai?" Zhao Jinfu drove the tea foam aside, took a sip and said, "Actually, Cai Langjun's three cups of tea, I didn't drink any difference. ”
"Your Highness is right, whether it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness, there is indeed no difference." Cai Yan said calmly: "The Third Highness is an extremely official family, loves calligraphy and painting, is full of learning, has a lot of benevolence and kindness, and is more than enough to be an official in the Taiping period." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not strong in raising the flag, it is very easy to be swayed by others, if there is no Liao Jurchen tiger and delay, it is very appropriate to be a peaceful king."
"Bold! Cai Wulangjun, you dare to talk about Chu Jun at will! Qiong Ye really couldn't listen to it anymore, she bent down and saluted Zhao Fujin and said, "Emperor Ji, this person is too arrogant, let's go back!" ”
Zhao Fujin listened to her words, but sat down: "Cai Langjun treats me sincerely, how can I abandon him?" ”
After saying that, Yanran smiled: "Besides, we came to Mingxing Building, if we don't eat the signature dish and go back, wouldn't it be wronged?" ”
"Your Highness is right, then the subordinate will go down to arrange the menu, you can do it yourself!" Cai Jing stood up straight, glanced at the beautiful flowers behind the screen, I don't know what he thought, his ears were slightly red, and he walked out of the Peony Pavilion backwards.
"Emperor, this person has a bad heart, don't be fooled by him!" Qiong Ye saw Cai Yan go out of the door, followed him into the side of the kitchen, and then closed the door, lowered his voice and persuaded him: "You have the love of the official family, it is easy to find a happy and peaceful family, why bother to go through the flood of the Cai family?" ”
"I remember, it was Qiong Ye that you repeatedly mentioned Cai Ying, and it was all a beautiful word, why did you suddenly change it?" Zhao Fujin walked to the place where Cai Yan ordered tea, picked up a jade blue tea bowl on the tea table, and said while studying it: "It doesn't matter how you change it, you look at this Peony Garden, how is it compared to my Qionghua Pavilion?" ”
On the fourth floor of Mingxing Building, there are a total of six gardens, in addition to the Peony Garden, there are Baihe Garden, Cong Ju Garden, Yulan Garden, Xiangmei Garden and Fengzhu Garden, each garden is extremely luxuriously decorated.
Take the Peony Garden as an example, the tea set in Zhao Fujin's hand is a complete set of sixty-four flowers of jade porcelain, which can be taken at least one million in modern times.
The tea case under the tea set is yellow rosewood, and the shelf of the screen is the same as it.
On the side of the screen are two half-person-high plum bottles, and begonia flowers decorated with golden branches and jade leaves are inserted in the large plum bottles.
The interior collapse, tables, chairs, etc. are all made of yellow rosewood.
It is Zhao Fujin who lives in the imperial city and is the most favored emperor, and she only has a rosewood bed and screen shelf.
Rosewood and rosewood, in terms of price, are four or five grades lower.
