With the emperor's body, it was very dangerous to go out, but Lu Qingxi still agreed.

In the current situation, no one should do anything to the emperor.

At this time, if something happens to the emperor...... It's not good for anyone.

Lu Qingxi made a lot of preparations, and asked the emperor to dress up in disguise, so he took the emperor and a group of guards out of the palace.

The emperor's body must not be able to walk by himself, so Lu Qingxi arranged a sedan chair for him to sit on, and on the way, he also introduced him to the surrounding things......

The sedan chair finally stopped at the door of Qingyun Tower.

Chapter 207: Arriving in the capital

The royal family of Daqi is surnamed Qi, and the current emperor's name is Qi Jun.

Qi Jun was dignified and strong when he was young, but since he was poisoned, his health has become worse and worse, and now he is only in his forties, and he is already dying.

Along the way, Lu Qingxi has been introducing him to the things around him, but Qi Jun's eyes are not good, so he can't see clearly at all.

But even if he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, Qi Jun watched it with great interest.

When he came to the outside of Qingyun Tower, the guards around Qi Jun helped him down from the sedan chair.

He didn't want to be helped along, so after getting out of the sedan chair, he motioned for the guards to leave and walked forward himself.

However, he didn't take a few steps, and Lu Qingxi helped him: "Master, be careful, there is a threshold in front." ”

Qi Jun cautiously stepped forward, crossed the threshold, and entered Qingyun Tower.

When Qi Jun was in good health, there was no problem walking, but it was difficult for him to take the stairs, and as soon as he walked the stairs, he couldn't breathe.

However, Lu Qingxi had already arranged it, and they did not go to the box on the second floor, but went to the backyard.

There is a courtyard behind Qingyun Tower, which is not usually used to entertain guests, but today it has been specially cleaned up.

Lu Qingxi also went to Chang Duan: "Your Majesty can't eat spicy, and the taste is ......."

The emperor was not in good health, and there were many taboos in his diet, and many things could not be eaten, in addition, because the emperor was sick, he often couldn't eat food, and the taste became heavier and heavier.

Chang Duan wrote down everything Lu Qingxi said, and then went to cook.

In fact, Lu Qingxi had already told him before, and he had already thought of the menu.

In their Chang family's recipes, there are several dishes that can warm the body, which are very suitable for the emperor to eat.

Furthermore...... Chang Duan took some pickles, sauces, cucumbers, kimchi and the like from the kitchen jar.

After the cucumber is cut, it can be served directly, the pickle gnocchi is finely chopped and fried with shredded pork, and the kimchi can be used to make soup......

These things are generally not used by the imperial chefs in the palace for the emperor to eat, but they are quite appetizing.

The staple food of Chang Duan is yam and cabbage porridge with minced meat, plus a few warm dishes and a few pickles.

This is completely different from the Qingyun banquets he made in the past, but there is no doubt that these dishes of his are very popular with Qi Jun.

Qi Jun, a dish with complex methods and precious raw materials, has not eaten less for so many years, and he is tired of eating, and he has no appetite when he sees it.

Instead, it was pickles and kimchi that he had eaten appetizingly, which he hadn't eaten much before.

Qi Jun was extremely satisfied with this meal, and when he left, he said to Chang Duan: "Shopkeeper Duan, I'll come back next time." ”

Chang Duan sent people out with a smile, and only let out a long breath after waiting for them to leave.

The emperor came over this time, and the white dragon fish suit was quiet, but Chang Duan knew the identity of the other party from the beginning.

He received the emperor and cooked for the emperor!

Although his ancestors were imperial chefs, this was something he had not dared to think of before.

It was very cold in the winter, but Chang Duan's clothes were already soaking wet, and he had been nervous before.

"I didn't expect the emperor to be like that." Feng Da, who assumed the alias Ma Er, came to Chang Duan's side.

Chang Duan and Feng Da came to the capital together, and after arriving in the capital, Chang Duan opened Qingyun Tower, and the name of "Duan Jin" was known by more and more people, and Feng Da had been hiding in the shadows, helping to find out all kinds of news.

And today, knowing that the emperor was coming, he quietly came over to take a look.

Chang Duan didn't speak, looking in the direction the emperor had left.

The emperor's health is very poor, and he is also very close to Gonggong Lu.

But...... King Jin and King Yan Jun have been bouncing.

Li Qingzhi didn't know that Chang Duan had met the emperor.

As a person who went to Beijing to take the exam, he inquired about Fan Weiyan, and then he learned that Fan Weiyan had already entered Beijing and had just left yesterday.

They are all lifters, and they should be able to meet in the capital.

Li Qing dragged the family to take care of the family, and it was their family who ate together, and Du Yongning was not good at eating with his female dependents, so he took Lu Daochang, whom he had just met, to eat elsewhere.

Du Yongning likes Lu Daochang very much, Lu Daochang knows a lot of things, and has been to many, many places.

He even felt that the Dusan people should be like Lu Daochang.

Lu Mingshan also likes Du Yongning very much, this Young Master Du is very easy to deceive, and he will say everything.

Of course, people are lifting people...... Although Lu Mingshan pretended to be a master in front of Du Yongning, he insisted on refusing to accept Du Yongning's money.

Just confiscate the money...... Even if he doesn't look accurate, it can be said that he is not good at learning or because the other party has changed his fate because of something, and people will not come to pursue him.

Lu Mingshan followed the fleet out of curiosity about Li Qingzhi and wanted to find a way out for his little apprentice.

He himself probably went home like this for the rest of his life, but he didn't want his apprentice to go on like this.

Perhaps, he can do a big job in the capital, and then stop and leave the capital?

After resting in the provincial capital, the fleet continued north.

It was getting colder and colder, and sometimes they woke up to find the boat frozen with the lake.

Fortunately, the river did not freeze tightly overnight, so as not to affect the convoy to move forward.

But the life of the people in the fleet is indeed getting more and more difficult.

Li Qingzhi saw that many of the crew members had frostbite on their hands and ears.

These crew members have a lot of income, and they have all the warm clothes, but the cold wind blows too much, and the body is definitely not so warm.

Li Qingzhi couldn't do much, he let the fire on the ship not be broken, so that those crew members could go to roast the fire and drink some hot tea in their free time.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the capital, and during this time, they encountered snow.

It also snows in Chongcheng County, but it falls very little, and it finally accumulates a thin layer, and as soon as the sun comes out the next day, it all melts.

In the north, however, their boat stopped overnight, and the next day there was a thick layer of snow on board.

The people in the fleet had to clear the snow from the ship before leaving.

It's just that others are cleaning up the snow, but Li Qingzhi is building a snowman with three children, and Du Yongning on the boat next door is building a snowman together.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Ruixue Zhaofeng Year." Lu Mingshan read a sentence, looking at the kind eyebrows and kind eyes, compassion and compassion.

He's really suitable for deceiving people!

Li Qingzhi wanted the other party to help, but what he had to do was actually very dangerous, and after thinking about it, he decided not to pull this person into the water.

It was important to avenge the original owner, but he didn't want anyone to happen to him.

When the fleet arrived in the capital, it was October 19.

After sitting on the boat for so long, everyone was not very comfortable, and now they finally arrived at the place...... People's faces were full of joy.

Li Qingzhi also looked at the dock in the capital curiously.

It's just that...... As Qian Fugui said, this place is actually not much different from the provincial capital of Jiang'an Province, but it is bigger here, and the style of the house is also a little different.

I don't know what the city is like.

But here, they have to be careful.

Li Qing hired people to carry the things they had brought off the boat.

Wu Baichuan lent them a ship, and Li Qingzhi also carried a lot of goods.

These goods included glassware and soap, as well as embroidery from the gold leaf embroidery workshop.

Jin Xiaoye plans to sell these and then open a few shops in the capital.

As for what her shop sells...... It's good to sell lo-mei, and Juewei Zhai can be opened to the capital!

If you are a good official, it is said that you will not earn much money, and the expenses in the capital are large......

Li Qing insisted that they were not in a hurry, and planned to find an inn near the dock to settle down first, and then go to the city tomorrow to have a look, and find a way to rent a yard to live in.

As for their goods, Li Qingzhi asked Wu Baichuan to help watch them.

They came from afar, and they stayed on the ship for more than half a month, their faces were somewhat tired, and the whole person looked dusty.

Li Qingzhi entered the inn at this time and asked, "Little Er, how are the houses on your side?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "This lord, we have three kinds of upper rooms, ordinary rooms and general shops, the upper room is the best, the ordinary room will be crowded, and the general shop is the cheapest." "The so-called shop is a house where many people live,

Many people came to the inn and lived in their own rooms, and the next people let them live in the bunks.

Li Qing insisted: "Give me four upper rooms." ”

Mrs. Qian took two maids to live in one room, he and Jin Xiaoye took Li Damao and Li Ermao to live in one room, Li Laogen took Zhao Xiaodou to live in one room, Zhang Zao and two cooks lived in one room, and the four rooms were just right.

In fact, it is okay for Zhang Zao to live in an ordinary room, but Li Qingzhi is not short of this money.

The main reason is that this inn looks simple, and I'm afraid the rooms are not very ordinary.

"Great!" The shopkeeper agreed with a smile.

At this moment, someone came in from outside: "Little Er, we want three upper rooms, and seven more shops." ”

Li Qingzhi looked over and saw Fan Weiyan.

I haven't seen him for seven years, Fan Weiyan has gained some weight and greasy, but he still recognizes it at a glance.

Li Qingzhi knew that he would definitely meet Fan Weiyan in the capital, after all, they were all from the current imperial examination.
