Chapter 297: Stinky Tofu

Although Chu Lian's face was red, he didn't care about these hot and jealous eyes.

In this 'spring' hunt, most of the high-grade generals who stayed in Shengjing City in the DPRK came.

Among them are Sima Hui, Guo Xiaowei, Zhang Mai, Xiao Hong 'Yu' and others.

He Changdi took Chu Lian over to greet a few old acquaintances in the Northern Army.

Xiao Hong's 'jade' guy is the best at making trouble, and Chu Lian greeted him happily before he arrived.

"Hello sister-in-law. ”

Chu Lian smiled at him, and Sima Hui also came over at this time.

Sima Hui wore a moon-white 'colored' riding suit today, she was tall and tall, and her face was sassy with Yingzi, who had very few 'women' in Beijing, which was very eye-catching.

Sima Hui nodded at He Changdi, and then when his gaze fell on Chu Lian, his eyes lit up.

"Lian'er, this riding outfit is really suitable for you. Sima Hui praised without hesitation.

Chu Lian is indeed very suitable for wearing this silver-red riding costume, and the cuffs of the riding suit are inlaid with bow-style ribbons, which are playful and cute.

Chu Lian's smiling eyes bent up, and he came to Sima Hui's side and blessed him, "Thank you Sister Hui for your compliment." ”

Sima Hui lowered his head slightly, and whispered in Chu Lian's ear: "For a while, we will be together." ”

Of course, Chu Lian would not refuse, she had been with Sima Hui in the north for a long time, and by now, the two had long been friends who had nothing to say.

But before Chu Lian could say yes, He Changdi took a step back, He Sanlang stared at Sima Hui with a cold face and said, "No, Lian'er is by my side." ”

Sima Hui looked up at He Changdi, and suddenly smiled, "Marquis An Yuan still has to be by the side of the saint." ”

At this time, He Changdi's face was even more ugly when she said this, yes, as a martial arts selection, he is a famous 'fat' shortage, and he is the newly sealed Marquis of Anyuan of Emperor Chengping, so he naturally spends most of his time by Emperor Chengping's side when he hunts in the 'spring', and he really doesn't have so much time to take care of Chu Lian.

Chu Lian smiled and tugged at He Changdi's sleeve, "Don't worry, I'm with Sister Hui, it's fine." ”

He Changdi's eyebrows twisted to kill a fly, he held his breath, looking at the clear eyes of his daughter-in-law, he really couldn't say, just because it was Sima Hui, he was worried......

In the end, he couldn't, He Changdi could only 'hand' Chu Lian over to Sima Hui to take care of. Because Emperor Chengping arrived, he wanted to take the military attache to greet Emperor Chengping.

Not far away, is where the princes and princesses stay.

To the left of King Jin stood the crown prince, on the right was the fifteen-year-old sixth prince, and the eleven-year-old Princess Le Yao stood behind him.

Behind Princess Le Yao is the county lord of Anmin.

At this time, Princess Le Yao's dissatisfied voice came from the rear, "Hmph! A broken countryman, a man who can't get married, what kind of friends does anyone really 'make'." Cousin An Min, we'll give them some awesome taste when the time comes. ”

The voice of the county lord of Anmin was very small, but King Jin didn't hear what he said.

He turned his head slightly, and the corner of his eye fell on Sima Hui's tall back, and after a moment, he looked away again.

When Emperor Chengping arrived in a navy blue 'color' riding suit, everyone saluted respectfully.

Because of their identities, Chu Lian and Sima Hui stood in the outermost circle.

Emperor Chengping was surrounded by ministers and nobles, and Chu Lian could only see the top of his head at most.

When the two were bending over, Sima Hui asked strangely, "Lian'er, why do I think the Holy Lord has looked at us?"

Chu Lian didn't believe it at all, and rolled his eyes funny.

"So many people, what are the saints doing on our side, but I didn't expect that there would be me on this list, I am not a real royal bloodline, and I am also the lowest-grade township monarch. ”

Hearing Chu Lian say this, Sima Hui frowned, "Lian'er, don't leave me then." ”

Chu Lian nodded, there must be a demon when it is abnormal, she doesn't know the development of events in the later stage now, it's better to be careful in everything.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites finished the ceremony of the 'spring' hunt, Emperor Chengping set off with all the members of the 'spring' hunt.

Chu Lian and Sima Hui rode horses and landed in the middle and rear of the team with a few 'female' dependents.

Although the county lord of Duanjia wanted to be with the two, because of her special status, she could only stay with Princess Wei, Princess Le Yao and others.

At the rear of the procession were the saluting carriages of the entourage, the attendants, etc.

The royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Shengjing City is not far away, and you can arrive at about noon when you set off in the morning.

He Changdi, Xiao Bojian, Zheng Shizi, the children of the princes and officials, and the children of the nobles were all accompanied by Emperor Chengping.

Originally, according to his seniority, it was not He Changdi's turn to accompany Emperor Chengping, but today I don't know what happened, Emperor Chengping specially named him.

Since it was the name of the saint, how could He Saburo refuse, he hit the horse and slightly retreated half of Emperor Chengping's horse, and Emperor Chengping did not speak, he was still that cold and stiff handsome face.

"He Saburo!"

"Holy Lord, the minister is here. ”

The corners of Emperor Chengping's mouth curled, "It's rare to have such an opportunity, you and I will talk about what you have seen and heard in Liangzhou in the north." ”

In front of Emperor Chengping, He Changdi did not dare to slack off, after experiencing the previous life, He Saburo understood better what kind of king Emperor Chengping was.

He has clear rewards and punishments, and governs the country well, it can be said that he is a generation of Ming monarchs, and he has a secret spy department in his hands, which is the ministry 'door' that specializes in searching secret reports from all over the country, and only obeys the king's orders.

The identities of the members of the secret spy department are a mystery and are very hidden, and even the prince doesn't know a little bit about the secret spy department.

Sometimes, He Changdi suspected that Emperor Chengping knew many secret things, but he didn't want to debunk them.

It is as big as the major affairs of the family and the country, and as small as the battle between the courtiers and the concubines.

Therefore, in front of Emperor Chengping, the smartest way to do it is to have one to say one and two to say two, if it is a special 'door' to brag, there will always be a day when you don't know how to die.

He Changdi picked and said some things in the northern military camp, these are basically trivial things, they don't hurt, and they basically don't involve anyone.

From Emperor Chengping's face, I can't see what the attitude of this emperor is.

Emperor Chengping suddenly pulled the reins of the BMW under his crotch, shook it hard, and slammed the soft whip on the horse, and Shenjun immediately galloped out.

The guards and courtiers who followed Emperor Chengping also followed closely with the horses.

Emperor Chengping didn't know what kind of thoughts he had, the horses ran faster and faster, and in the end, only a few people with good riding skills such as the guards with knives and He Changdi who followed him.

In total, there are no more than ten people.

He Lin reminded worriedly on the side, "Holy Lord, don't go forward." Let's wait for a few highnesses and princesses. ”

At this time, there were less than ten people around Emperor Chengping, and if someone had bad intentions at this time, I am afraid that he would not be able to retreat with his whole body.

Emperor Chengping's distant eyes looked around, and he didn't know if he had listened to He Lin's words.

He pulled the reins and slowed the horses down.

Emperor Chengping glanced at He Changdi, who was still keeping his original distance beside him, and his eyes were slightly satisfied.

The rest of the people and guards around are all henchmen of Emperor Chengping, so there is no need to worry about others spreading what they say at this time.

It seemed that he had anticipated Emperor Chengping's thoughts in an instant, and He Changdi was slightly shocked in his heart, even if he had already lived a lifetime, he still couldn't help but be nervous at this time.

Emperor Chengping just suddenly galloped out, it was on purpose, he was afraid that he had already calculated that he could keep up, this was simply a trick for He Changdi.

He Saburo rode on horseback, holding the reins with one hand, his eyes hanging slightly, and he didn't dare to relax in his heart.

Suddenly, Emperor Chengping spoke, "When did you get married?"

After hearing Emperor Chengping ask this question, He Changdi was slightly stunned, and immediately replied: "At the end of August last year. ”

"I heard the Queen Mother mention a sentence or two, the marriage between you and Jinyi was still given by her old man's decree, and it was a family affair that the old lady personally entered the palace to ask for. ”

He Changdi's eyes deepened slightly, why did Emperor Chengping inquire about the affairs between their husband and wife?

"Yes, Weichen's marriage is indeed begged by his grandmother to the Queen Mother. ”

"Why did you think of marrying the 'daughter' of the Chu family, with your identity, you can have a better choice. Although the expression on Emperor Chengping's face did not change, his voice became more and more majestic, even unhappy.

Although He Changdi knew that Emperor Chengping was angry, he didn't understand why Emperor Chengping was angry, he couldn't tell lies at this time, and all the words only told the most true situation.

"The saint also knows the situation of our Chu family, the heirs are thin, and my grandmother asked for the 'daughter' of the Chu family as her wife for Weichen, and she also benefited from the reputation of the 'daughter' of the Chu family. ”

"Good birth?"

He Changdi acquiesced.

Emperor Chengping snorted coldly, and this cold snort made the people who followed him break out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't wait to be ten meters away from these two people.

A companion is like a tiger, and it's really good.

Look at their king, they were not happy just after asking Marquis An Yuan a few words about family matters, they were still confused, and they didn't know why Emperor Chengping was unhappy.

Among these people, He Lin's face on the left is the most eccentric.

Except for Emperor Chengping himself, only He Lin knows the truth here.

He Lin secretly wiped his sweat, and at the same time glanced sympathetically at An Yuanhou, who didn't know the situation, and silently lit wax for An Yuanhou in his heart.

After marrying the princess, he doesn't know how to cherish it, and he still regards the princess as a tool for passing on the lineage, this great martial dynasty, and the Marquis of An Yuan has this courage!

There was silence for a long time before Emperor Chengping spoke again.

"Since it is to continue the heir, why are you dissatisfied after marriage, refuse to round the house, and then leave the house directly?"

If Emperor Chengping asked the previous ones, he could barely understand that it was the emperor's gossip, and he was bored to inquire about the 'private' affairs of the courtiers, but how did Emperor Chengping know about these hidden things later......

The secret spy department is really a feared department.

He Changdi hid the shock in his heart.

His mind was running at great speed, but in the face of such a difficult question, he couldn't find a suitable answer for a while.

How did he answer that?

To tell Emperor Chengping directly that he was reborn, it was precisely because he knew what kind of person his newlywed wife Chu Lian was, how he was a poisonous 'woman' who did not abide by the way of a 'woman', he was eager to kill her at that time, how could he have a round house, how could he make her feel better!

If he really wants to tell these truths, I am afraid that not only will no one believe him, but they will think that he is crazy.

This kind of ghost and god remarks are the most disastrous, and He Changdi never thought of telling the truth.

"Shengshang Mingjian, it was Weichen who didn't see the truth clearly. ”

Receiving such an ambiguous answer from He Changdi, Emperor Chengping was obviously even more displeased.

He glanced coldly at the young man behind him, his eyes filled with extreme dissatisfaction.

"But you think Jinyi is not worthy of you?"

He Changdi was slightly stunned, not understanding why Emperor Chengping suddenly had this idea.

He Saburo shook his head slightly, "Chen has never thought of it like this. ”

Emperor Chengping didn't continue to ask, but in his heart he had already attributed He Changdi to a man of power.

He Changdi and Chu Lian got married, went to the north to serve in the army, and until the later victory of the northern border army and the Tuhun soldiers, these days, Emperor Chengping sent people from the secret spy department to investigate.

With the means of the secret spy department, if you want to investigate one thing thoroughly, you can't hide it at all.

Chu Lian sent a letter to He Changdi, in which he was reminded to go to Captain Guo's flag, and Chu Lian asked someone to bring less of those 'meat' dried snacks and wine to He Changdi.

The first meeting with General Lu Guogong Qian was precisely because of that small jar of wine.

Later, Chu Lian reopened and returned to the forest residence, and someone found a miracle doctor to treat Mrs. Jing Anbo for a stubborn illness.

When the most dangerous situation was and there was no one available in Jing'anbo Mansion, Chu Lian invited himself to go to the north to assist He Changdi and find the 'medicine' to lead the snow mountain to the 'flower'.

Even to the drawings and production of Lu Zhou later......

Now that he calculates this, Chu Lian has done so many things behind his back, and he even saved the county lord of Duanjia by mistake and 'befriended' with the Wei Wangfu.

Looking at it this way, behind He Changdi's success, Chu Lian's shadow does not exist everywhere.

Chu Lian has done so much, maybe He Changdi saw her value, and only after returning to Beijing did he really recognize the location of Chu Lian's main room, and then he was rounded.

In Emperor Chengping's heart, that's what he thought.

It was precisely because of these investigations by the secret spy department that he had a very bad impression of He Changdi for a moment.

At this moment, in Emperor Chengping's heart, He Changdi was not worthy of him and Ye Wei's 'daughter' Chu Lian at all.

He looked into the distance and his gaze grew colder and colder.

"You came up with Lu Zhou's strategy alone?" He Saburo heard Emperor Chengping ask coldly.

He frowned, and replied without hesitation: "Back to the saint, no, Lu Zhou's drawings and finished products are provided by Weichen Neizi." ”

At the beginning, in order to report his military merits to He Changdi, General Qian Zhou's matter was directly attributed to He Changdi.

Except for He Changdi and Chu Lian and some of Chu Lian's henchmen, not many people know what Lu Zhou has to do with Chu Lian.

Later, Chu Lian asked He Changdi to use Lu Zhou in the northern army.

Chu Lian didn't want to be high-profile, so he asked to hide this matter.

When General Qian reported his military merits, this matter naturally fell to He Changdi.

Chu Lian usually doesn't like to pay attention to these little things at all, and the relationship between the husband and wife has warmed up at that time, let alone careless.

The poor little couple didn't feel anything, but now it is different in the eyes of Emperor Chengping, a father full of guilt.

From his point of view, he thought that He Changdi had robbed Chu Lian of the credit, and even suspected that half of He Changdi's title of Marquis of Anyuan was obtained because of Chu Lian.

I thought that He Changdi would deny it, but I didn't expect He Changdi to admit that Lu Zhou's drawings were provided by Chu Lian so easily.

For a while, Emperor Chengping's heart was a little complicated.

Next, Emperor Chengping didn't ask He Changdi anything else, and during the time when he was waiting for the large army to catch up, there was no longer any sound except for the sound of horses' hooves, and the surroundings were quiet and mysterious.

He Changdi vaguely understood that Emperor Chengping's dissatisfaction with him was because of Chu Lian, but the connection was incomprehensible.

was happy to go out of the 'door', but when they arrived at the royal hunting ground in the suburbs, all the 'sexual' personnel felt Emperor Chengping's 'gloomy' mood, especially the close 'attendants' and guards who were waiting closely around Emperor Chengping, and they didn't even dare to 'make' a little sound when they took things.

When they arrived at the paddock, there was a special 'gate' official who arranged a place for the entourage to stay.

Because of the overnight stay in the paddock, the curtains were set up in advance around the area, and among these curtain groups, the curtains where Emperor Chengping lived were the most conspicuous and luxurious.

The tents of several princes were around Emperor Chengping.

This time, the harem concubines only came to Wei Guifei, and Wei Guifei and the princesses lived behind Emperor Chengping's tent.

The surrounding tents belong to the ministers and military generals.

The tent of the Marquis of Anyuan is not on the periphery, but it is not close to the inside, the location is not bad, in the middle and rear position, there is a naturally formed pool not far from the tent.

The water in the pool is crystal clear and has never been polluted, and the water inside can even be drunk when picked out.

Sima Hui's tent was next door to Chu Lian's tent, only a few dozen meters apart, very close.

At this time, at noon, Emperor Chengping arrived at the enclosure and went into the tent to rest, and the imperial kitchen had already prepared 'fine' food for Emperor Chengping to eat.

The people who followed the 'spring' hunt also scattered to their respective tents to rest.

Until the afternoon, Emperor Chengping would take everyone to the hunting ground.

Of these, there are nearly two hours of free time.

This time, Chu Lian still only brought Wen Qing and Wen Lan out.

They were with the saluting cart behind them.

When Chu Lian and He Changdi arrived, they had just arrived.

Next to their tent, the butler stopped with a carriage.

Chu Lian took Wen Qing and Lan to pack up the things he brought.

The housekeeper next to him with two guards was helping to unload the salute, and looking at the things brought by his 'female' master, the old housekeeper couldn't help but 'twitch' the corners of his mouth.

Let's see what it is.

A special small iron pot, an iron shelf that I don't know what it is used for, few ingredients from various 'color' hunting grounds, condiments that he has never heard of, dried 'meat', preserved fruits, and snacks......

A wagon of things, half of a wagon is food...... Of the remaining half of the carriage, more than half is used for food......

Look at the things that the noble lady on the other side is carrying.

Clothes and jewelry, incense, various 'color' ornaments......

The old housekeeper lowered his head in shame and resigned himself to helping his 'female' master move all kinds of things into the tent.

However, the foodies who stared at Chu Lian and He Changdi's tent didn't think so.

Before the meal was cooked, there was a table of people sitting in the tent of He Changdi and Chu Lian......

Sima Hui and Duanjia County Lord don't care, they are 'girl' children after all, but what the hell are General Qian and Old Zheng Guogong, these two people with white beards are actually ......

Next to him, Guo Xiaowei, Xiao Hong'yu, and Zhang Mai didn't have a place to sit.

But the three of them would rather stand than leave.

Lord Duanjia rolled his eyes.

"Chu Liu, let your maid cook less, it's enough for us to eat at one table, and don't worry about the rice buckets standing next to you. ”

Xiao Hong's 'jade' left in a hurry in the morning and didn't eat the morning food, the young man was not hungry, and at this time he had already put his front 'chest' against his back, and when he heard the lord of Duanjia say this, where was he willing to follow.

It's just that because of the identity of the county lord of Duanjia, it's hard to talk back.

Chu Lian looked at the people in this tent, and he couldn't smile bitterly.

In the paddock, each family brought a maid to take care of the daily life.

Emperor Chengping's three meals were arranged by the chief manager who came out of the palace, and the three meals of these people were all solved by themselves, unless Emperor Chengping specially ordered a banquet or something, they would have dinner together.

Look at the current posture, the maids brought by these families are completely useless.

As soon as He Changdi came back, he saw a table of people sitting in the tent, and his face was not very good-looking.

But he couldn't say anything at this time, especially since there was also the elder Zheng Guogong, who was two generations older.

Chu Lian looked at the ingredients brought by the housekeeper and was thinking about what to cook.

Fortunately, the housekeeper has a lot of ingredients just in case, otherwise it would not be enough for this group of people to eat.

Because of the large number of people, Chu Lian asked Wen Qing to roast a lamb chop, and boiled a large pot of sour soup 'fat' cow.

The sour soup is made with mushrooms and other side dishes, and it is eaten with rice.

It is best eaten when there are many people.

Because in the suburbs, the meals are simpler, and there are not so many troublesome dishes.

Here, when Wen Qing and Wen Lan were cooking roast lamb chops and sour soup 'fat' beef, Chu Lian looked at the ingredients brought by the housekeeper.

A small bamboo basket covered with gauze was uncovered.

Seeing the things in the bamboo basket, Chu Lian's eyes lit up.

Stinky tofu!

This is what she took the maid to 'get' in the small kitchen of the house two days ago when she was idle.

Because this thing can't be left for a long time, when the housekeeper asked the cook to clean up the ingredients, the cook brought this too.

Chu Lian likes to eat fried stinky tofu in modern times, especially Changsha stinky tofu, the processed stinky tofu is fried crispy and moderate, and then sprinkled with a red layer of green and red chili sauce on the stinky tofu, when eating, it is crispy and fragrant, the shell is burnt and fragrant, but the inside is fragrant and tender.

Although it stinks when you put it around, when you eat it in your mouth and taste it, you can't stop 'lusting'.

Now that I think about it, stinky tofu is such a magical thing.

Glancing at the stinky tofu placed in the small bamboo basket, Chu Lian frowned slightly.

If you don't do this stinky tofu today, it will go bad.

It is a crime to 'waste' food.

Now that the weather is warmer, fresh ingredients can't stand up.

Besides, I really haven't eaten stinky tofu for a long time, Chu Lian has also wanted to take this bite for a long time, look at the time, it is still early for Emperor Chengping to take people to hunt, and it is enough to make stinky tofu.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Lian decided to come down.

She carried a small bamboo basket and curled the corners of her mouth to the temporary stove where Wenqing and Lan were cooking.

Wen Lan is smearing the marinated lamb chops with various 'color' ingredients.

Seeing that her three 'milks' and 'milk's were coming, Wen Lan hurriedly dropped the work in her hand and greeted her, taking the small bamboo basket in her hand.

He was still muttering, "The three 'milks' and 'milk's are resting, and these are all 'handed over' to the slaves and maids." ”

Chu Lian couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "You and Wen Qing can't do this." ”

Ask Lan is a little unconvinced, their sisters have been following the three 'milks' and 'milk' for so long, and the three 'milks' and 'milk's teaching the secret recipes of cooking to a few big girls around them have never shied away from them, just taking care of the meals of a few guests, is there anything that can stump them?

Asked Lan blinked and looked at the small bamboo basket in his hand, "Three 'milk' and 'milk', what is in this?"

Chu Lian saw that she was curious, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "If you want to know, open it and take a look." ”
