Xu Tinglan took her husband by her arms and walked into the hall while saying, "I went to the street today to wander around and see a set of fine dishes, thin-tire, thin-walled sweet white glazed official kiln porcelain, the treasure of other people's town stores, I thought, aren't the dishes in our yard cleaned by your son Huo Huo?" Just right...... Well, it's a coincidence, just a coincidence. ”

Shen Yu: ......

"I thought I had to start a gang when I had dishes, so I asked them to buy new pots and pans and clean up an empty house. Oh yes, I also bought a new recipe, which said, 'Medicine is not as good as food', I see Huai Ming Huaiyuan's hard work, recently all have been reduced, autumn nine days and six nights can be boiled up, the body is the right thing to do. ”

Xu Tinglan bought his favorite porcelain today, and he was in a good mood and talked more.

Shen Yu's heart is not a taste, since returning to the capital and being in the treacherous power center, it is rare to see his wife so brisk, although it sounds like she still has not given up her cooking skills......

After dinner, Huai'an and Chen Yong poured the clear alkaline water into another jar and began the tedious moving work.

After the bottles and cans were all placed on the shelves and placed neatly, Yun Ling came in to help them light the lamp, and by the way, she went undercover for the old lady to see what they were doing.

I saw the two of them pour the lard soaked in spices into the clay pot.

Chen Yong looked at the list and asked Huai'an: "How much lard?" ”

"Several."

"How much alkaline water?"

"Just in moderation."

"How much salt?"

"A little."

"To say it is to say nothing." Chen Yong complained.

I had to cover my head and pour it in, recording while pouring. This is a good habit of his, while weighing, experimenting, and recording, if there is a problem, it is good to have a reference when correcting.

And then it's stirring, stirring, stirring......

Stir in a pinch of salt.

According to Huai'an, it should be stirred until it is viscous and does not lose fluidity, which is considered successful.

Fortunately, he boiled enough lard and lye yesterday, and he tried five times before he finally found signs of success. It's just that this method is too wasteful, he stirred for half an hour, and still didn't achieve the desired effect, his arm was sore like a prosthetic, and he shook his sore forearm, and suddenly smelled a burst of meat.

As soon as he turned around, Huai'an was sitting in a ventilated place at the gate, sitting on a small bench, guarding two small stoves to roast meat......

The so-called broiling is to use bamboo skewers to grill meat, that is, barbecue.

"Cousin, are you tired? Come sit down and have a bite to eat. Huai'an smiled slyly, and while wearing skewers, he began to shake people: "Sister Yunling, Sister Tiandong, Sister Xia Qian, come and help, please make strings!" ”

Chapter 91

The maids all seem to be acting steadily, but after all, they are teenagers who love to play, and they have long been curious about what Huai'an is tinkering with. Hearing this, they came in one after another and found that he was actually barbecuing.

Huai'an had finished baking a small plate, and the stove was already cooked, and there was a sizzling sound, sprinkled with cumin and thirteen incense, and the rich fragrance wafted straight to the courtyard.

He distributed the meat skewers on the stove to everyone, and took the plates to the main room—as a filial child, of course, the first plate must be honored to his father and mother.

Shen Yu saw that he was still quite happy, so he almost burned a small cup of wine and drank it, and was thinking about it, when he saw his good son conjure up a small wine cup from behind......

Daddy's face changed.

Huai'an smiled like a dog: "Help my father and mother, I don't drink, I really don't drink!" ”

This is about the same, Shen Yu took the wine cup, took out two wine glasses, and poured a glass for his wife and himself.

Sister Peng is still eating barbecue for the first time in her life, and she has no experience, so she holds a skewer and gnaws in a circle, and she can't eat.

But Huai'an was in a hurry, put the skewer horizontally into her mouth, closed her small mouth up and down with her hand, and the skewer was pushed, and the fragrant mutton was instantly entered.

Sister Peng squinted her eyes deliciously.

The west wing room was lively, Chen Yong was eating barbecue, while staring at the maids taking turns stirring the mixture, gradually, the translucent lard turned milky white, and the texture was a bit like heavy yogurt.

"It's done!" Chen Yong said excitedly, and used a funnel to pour the soap into the bamboo tubes.

At this point, even if you are successful, as long as you cool the soap for a few days, you can get the basic soap! Then the soap is shaved into crumbs, added to sandalwood powder, tea powder, mugwort powder or dried pollen and other ingredients or spices, repeatedly beaten to make it fully saponified, kneaded and formed, it is cold ground soap.

This is not enough, after all, it is something given to the Queen Mother, it doesn't need to be really expensive, but it must be made to look like you can't afford it.

Huai'an asked his father and mother for instructions, and wanted to go to the bookstore tomorrow, and asked Master Hao to help make a set of molds, and promised to go back as soon as he went, and never run around.

The cannibal mouth is short, and the husband and wife are always not good at eating food and cooking, so they immediately agreed to come down and repeatedly told him to take enough people and go in a carriage, so as not to happen again last time.

Although normal people are reprimanded and warned by the emperor, they will always hold their tails and restrain them for a while, but Wu Qi is a little crazy and can't be pushed by ordinary people.

Huai'an happily went back to the West Wing to continue the barbecue, and Xu Tinglan asked Hao's mother and Wang's mother to go to the West Wing to see the excitement together, and took Sister Peng with her.

Shen Yu knew that his wife had pulled people back, so she must have something to say to him.

The candlelight dimmed, and the room was dark, Xu Tinglan got up and took off the lampshade and cut off the excessively long wick.

"Do you know the Imperial Doctor of the Tai Hospital?" She asked.

"Yes, the hospital is in charge." Shen Yu said.

"The porcelain shop I went to today is the property of the Wang family." Xu Tinglan lowered his voice and said: "I learned from others that the youngest son of Imperial Physician Wang had a debt by throwing dice, and Mrs. Wang doted on her young son, hiding from Imperial Physician Wang, and urgently needed a sum of cash to fill the hole. ”

"To tell the truth, although her set of porcelain is good, it is too plain, and the idlers can't afford it, and those who can afford it may not be able to look at it.

Shen Yu suddenly realized, he said that his wife has always been purposeful in doing things, how could she suddenly spend a huge amount of money to buy a set of dishes? It turns out that there is this relationship behind it. He put down his glass and waited for the next step.

"Mrs. Wang relieved her urgent need and was very grateful to me, so she revealed a message to me." Xu Tinglan said: "Mrs. Wu Ge, I'm afraid I won't survive next year. ”

When it was warm and cold, the cold breeze was blowing outside the window.

Shen Yu fell into deep thought.

This is indeed an extremely valuable piece of information, not to mention one set of porcelain, ten sets are also worth it. Once Mrs. Wu dies of illness, Elder Wu Ge will definitely suffer a huge blow, and Wu Qi will also help the coffin to return to his hometown. Wu Qi has too many enemies, once he resigns from his post and leaves the capital, whether he has the life to return to his hometown is two words.

Shen Yu took his wife's hand and sighed in a low voice: "It's me who is incompetent, and I will make you afraid." I think...... I was just about to discuss with you, there is still half a year before the autumn season, so it is better for you to take your mother and children back to your hometown first. ”

"Are you scared?" Xu Tinglan met her husband's eyes.

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Shen Yu said: "I'm afraid of your ......"

"We're not afraid." The corners of Xu Tinglan's lips pursed slightly, hugged that face, and whispered with relief: "Don't say stupid things, we are a family, a family together, and we can carry any wind and waves." ”

Before Shen Yu could speak, Huai An broke in from outside with a plate of pork belly skewers, saw a sudden brake, turned a 360-degree turn, and said quickly: "Don't chase me, I'll disappear by myself." ”

As soon as the words fell, he really disappeared at the door of the bedroom.

……

Shen Yu immediately told Zheng Qian about Imperial Physician Wang's diagnosis, and Zheng Qian's cloudy eyes glowed with burning light.

Before he could speak, he saw Xiaoge Old Wu Qi breaking in violently, pointing at Zheng Qian and scolding him, accusing him of falling into the well, being ungrateful, and not calling Yunyun a dog that can bite people.

Several pavilion elders gathered around the room to persuade each other, and they were all scolded by him sneeringly, and the result was that the more they persuaded them, the more they made trouble. ，

Just when everyone was robbed of white speechlessness. Zheng Qian suddenly covered his chest, rolled his eyes, and fainted. Shen Yu stepped forward to support his mentor and let him lean on his shoulder, so as not to fall to the ground with a chair.

There was a mess around, some shouted "please ask the doctor", some shouted that the door panel was removed and sent to the hospital, and finally a scribe was sent to the hospital.

"Huh? It's not ......" Wu Qi was stunned: "Don't touch porcelain...... I'm afraid you won't make it? ”

"Xiao Ge Lao, have you made enough trouble!" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and said angrily at Wu Qi: "It is said that Wu Ge is already old, have you ever thought that Zheng Ge is over sixty years old!" Wu Ge Lao took leave one after another, Zheng Ge Lao worked tirelessly, hard work, and never made a mistake in the cabinet, and there was no merit and hard work, right? Besides, if you leave the cabinet, that is His Majesty's will, what does it have to do with the cabinet elders? ”

"Don't think I don't know, you villains have been plotting behind your back for a long time." Wu Qi said.

Shen Yu sneered and sneered: "What does Xiao Ge Lao mean, is Your Majesty ignorant of villains, and listening to slanderous rumors will harm you?" ”

Wu Qi looked angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Yu, if you want to go against me, remember to prepare a coffin!" ”

Shen Yu raised his eyes to look at him, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said in a loud voice: "I bother you pavilion elders to be a witness for the lower officials, if there is anything unexpected for the lower officials in the near future, the little pavilion elders are the most suspicious!" ”

"You ......"

Everyone sighed and persuaded one after another: "In the same dynasty, it is better not to say such things as Xiaoge Lao." ”

Wu Qi clenched his fists, and every bone joint made a clicking sound.

"Oh, by the way, I can't call Xiaoge old anymore, it should be called Wu Butang." Shen Yu made up for it again.

Wu Qi's face turned from red to blue and then to white, and he changed several times one after another, but he just snorted coldly: "Let's see!" ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left the cabinet room. rampage, almost knocked over the imperial doctor who hurried with the medicine box.

For a while, everyone knew that Wu Qi broke into the cabinet and made Zheng Ge angry.

Zheng Qian's illness came very urgently, and he took leave and was carried home that day. The emperor ordered the imperial physician to go to Zhengfu for consultation, only to say that he had chest tightness, palpitations, and a pale face, but his pulse was normal, and it seemed that he was not sick, but scared away his soul.

As soon as the emperor heard that it involved his own professional field, he immediately sent Zhou Xichen, a real person from Qingyang, to the mansion to help Zheng Ge Lao drive away evil spirits and avoid evil.

Shen Yu went to visit Zheng's mansion, but the carriage was blocked at the entrance of the alley and couldn't get in. Shen Yu lifted the curtain and saw a wide and magnificent carriage, with more than a dozen Taoists hugging each other on both sides. The curtain of the car was lifted, and a young Taoist came out of it, the spring breeze was blowing, the clothes were fluttering, and the end was out of the dust, the fairy wind and bones.

Shen Yu said to the coachman, "Let's wait." ”

The subordinates of the Zheng Mansion were waiting at the door, Zhou Xichen did not squint, shook off the dust, and walked straight into the gate of the Zheng Mansion.

Under the guidance of the maid, Zhou Xichen came to the inner house, Zheng Qian was sitting in the hall waiting for him, except that his face was pale, he was still in good spirits, and he couldn't see that he was a person who had lost his soul at all.

After he retreated, Zhou Xichen bowed and saluted: "Pavilion Elder." ”

"The dust is coming." Zheng Ge said.

Qingyang Zhenren is now a celebrity in front of the holy driver, even if Wu Ge Lao sees it, he must be called a "real person", no matter how bad he is, he must be called "Qingyangzi", but Zheng Qian can call him by his name.

Because Zhou Xichen has a secret, a secret that only he and Zheng Qian know.

Zhou Xichen was originally not surnamed Zhou, but surnamed Wang, who was Zheng Qian's mentor and the youngest grandson of Wang Zhi, the first assistant of the year. Since he was a child, he was frail and sickly and was sent to Yunqing Temple, where he studied under the Xuanqing Zhenren, practiced martial arts, and strengthened his body.

When Wang Xichen was ten years old, his grandfather Wang Zhi was framed by Wu Jun, and his wife was either killed and exiled, or punished into the church, or filled into the inner court, and the family was ruined and killed, which was unbearable. Xuan Qingzhen took care of the old friendship and tried his best to keep the last bit of blood of the Wang family. Wang Xichen escaped, and since then he has changed his face and assumed the pseudonym Zhou Xichen.

He saw that the enemy had become an official and a knight, and his power was monstrous, and it was almost a fool's dream to want revenge, until he was recommended by Princess Wenyang to Zheng Ge Lao, and Zheng Ge Lao recommended him to the emperor's side, he saw a glimmer of hope for Wu Jun to be brought down.

"Elder Ge's face is not good." Zhou Xichen asked.

Zheng Qian touched the white greasy fat powder on his face, and said to him: "It's okay, it was Clumsy Jing who deliberately helped the old man become like this." ”

Zhou Xichen nodded clearly, on the way here, he had already guessed that Zheng Ge was pretending to be sick, and there must be something important to discuss.

"The elder has orders, but please speak up." He put it bluntly.

Their goal is the same, that is, to bring down Wu Jun, as for how to uproot the party henchmen and how to make a smooth transition, that is the question that Zheng Qian should think about.
