Chapter 218 Persuading the Mid-Autumn Festival (4K Long Chapter)

"I'm not going to say that Second Miss Su deliberately sent someone to bribe someone from the tailor's pavilion to buy a dress similar to what the little girl was wearing that day. The servant girl who collected money in the tailor's pavilion can testify to this..." Yang Yan said in a tone of voice. Plain, as for the method used to get the maid who took the money to speak, that is his business.

An ordinary spoiled girl's tricks can't catch him, Yang Yan.

"On Qixi Festival that day, Second Miss Su's fiancé, oh no, it was Mr. Li who was sent away on purpose by Miss Su's excuse. Mr. Li was also willing to come forward..."

Second Miss Su's game was full of loopholes after a little investigation, Yang Yan didn't bother to finish the rest of the loopholes he found, so he paused, and then told the earliest bad relationship between Second Miss Su and Ji Chonghuan.

"On the third day of March, Fu Shouchen, the old lady of Su, rented the Furong Garden. Second Miss Su disguised herself as a man and mingled around in it, pointing at the male guests present. The backstage took the opportunity to sprain his foot and asked the Second Young Master Ji to help him, but at that time the Second Young Master Ji fell in love with Miss Jiang Si, the most talented woman in Chang'an, so he didn't pay attention to this matter."

On the third day of March, Yang Yan's family had not yet arrived in Chang'an, but they had checked the affairs of Chang'an to the point of accuracy.Eldest Young Master Su frowned, he had already heard Miss Su mention the cause of the matter, so he knew it clearly.

Before the person arrives, the hand has already been extended.Young Master Su sneered, thinking that the members of my Su family are nothing, how can your Yang family be clean?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to mock Yang Yan, Yang Yan continued, "On that day in the Furong Garden, a maidservant of the Su family died of a sudden illness after delivering tea to His Royal Highness. I heard that the maidservant's sister She was the first to enter the palace with Empress Su, and Empress Su arranged to serve Her Majesty and was named a beauty."

Young Master Su's complexion changed slightly: These are all internal matters of the Su family, but Yang Yan checked them out clearly.

"A few years ago, a talented person in the palace who served His Majesty died suddenly of a serious illness. Later, it was found that this beauty was responsible for it. The beauty should have died. It was Empress Su who interceded to save her life and was thrown into the cold palace. "

When Yang Yan said this, he couldn't help squinting his eyes: "It's really strange that the person died, and the reason for the beauty's conflict with her poisoning is also a bit far-fetched. If the old case is brought up again, and the coffin is opened for autopsy, do you think it will be investigated? What's the problem with that talented man with a little knowledge of medicine? For example..." Yang Yan sneered, and then said, "Did she die while pregnant?"

Your Majesty has only been crowned as His Highness the Crown Prince these years, and there are many rumors outside. Some people say that His Majesty was injured during the war, and others say other things.But no matter what, it is beyond doubt that His Majesty has no heirs since he took the throne.

Yang Yansu didn't open his mouth all day, but when he opened his mouth, he hit the nail on the head.

Young Master Su turned pale when he heard this. He knew that the new favorite of His Majesty was not easy to fool, but he couldn't imagine... so difficult to deal with.

Don't talk about him in this situation, even if he finds his grandfather, he will be at a loss what to do.

Yang Yan looked up at the empty beam above his head, and didn't make any more sound.

……

"Is it because of this that His Majesty has no heirs these years?"

Of course, it is impossible to completely deceive the conscientious Duke An when he speaks in the mansion of Duke Ango. When the secret guard came back to report what Yang Yan said, Duke Anguo was also taken aback.

This Yang Yan was bold when he threatened Young Master Su, and he was even bolder if he dared to say such things in An Guogong's mansion.

But as soon as these words came out, Ji Chongyan uttered a soft sneer, comforting An Guogong: "That's not the case. That talented man is not pregnant. He used means to look like he was pregnant, but in fact he is not."

The affairs in the harem of His Majesty are much "simpler" than those in the previous dynasty, and the affairs in the harem are all under His Majesty's control.If Queen Su's hands and feet really harmed the emperor's heir, His Majesty would definitely not tolerate Queen Su.

If that's the case, wouldn't Yang Yan's words have defrauded Mr. Su?An Guogong was stunned, paused for a moment and muttered with a wry smile: "Yang Yan...is really an old fox!"

But compared to Yang Yan, according to Brother Yan, didn't the "actions" behind Empress Su's backside not be hidden from His Majesty?If His Majesty really wanted to set up another prince, he couldn't help but find out why.

Thinking of this, Duke An's expression became serious.

In the past, although there were foolish monarchs and mediocre rulers in all dynasties, the founding monarchs were not ordinary people, and so was Your Majesty.

It's just that he is also an old man from the previous dynasty. I think the Zhao family Dalang back then couldn't see the appearance of such a city.

"I'm going to go to the palace to meet the emperor's uncle later," Ji Chongyan asked An Guogong another matter without further mentioning Yang Yan's matter, "Grandfather, what kind of person is the Second Highness who comes from the people?" ?”

He left Beijing suddenly, and he has never dealt with that so-called civil highness. Although it is not impossible to know the movements of the second highness in the capital, seeing is better than hearing, so there are some things I still want to hear from An Guogong .

At this age, An Guogong has rarely been involved in court affairs, so he has not met that private highness a few times, but during the few meetings, An Guogong recalled it and said: "The Second Highness is quite intelligent and humble. But he was raised among the people since he was a child, and he has a timid temper, so there is generally nothing wrong with him. But his step-sister..." At this point, An Guogong paused, and turned to Ji Chongyan, Said, "Although the two are siblings, they have nothing to do with each other. After their parents passed away one after another, the step-sister took good care of her. It was also his step-sister who broke into the hunting ground before, so that His Highness treated his step-sister very well. Very trusting. His Majesty originally wanted to make his step-sister the princess, to thank him for protecting the emperor's heir, but the cowardly Highness of Clinker opposed it very strongly, and bluntly said that he wanted to marry his step-sister as his wife. "

It's not impossible for two people who have nothing to do with each other to get married if they are placed among the people.It's just that since the child is the heir of His Majesty, he is the heir of the emperor. If a prince who is likely to ascend the throne in the future marries a civilian woman, if His Majesty really wants to have another prince, he should oppose it. However, His Majesty's reaction is really intriguing. .

"Your Majesty didn't object, but he didn't point to the marriage either. He just smiled and praised that His Majesty Folk is a kind person and didn't say anything more."

This is also the reason why many people who originally looked at the prince as shameless and wanted to change the wall stopped in time.

Today's actions are indeed somewhat unpredictable.

When An Guogong said this, he couldn't help sighing, but he laughed again, and said: "But your majesty loves my brother Yan the most, and these things have nothing to do with you. Remember to go to the palace to see your emperor's uncle later." Yes."

The emperor's uncle, the emperor is in the front, and the uncle is in the back.After all, the emperor and his subjects first, and then the uncle and nephew!
Hearing the words, Ji Chongyan was just thoughtful, and then lowered his eyes to cover the deep thought in his eyes. After a moment's pause, he raised his eyes again, smiled and said to Anguo: "Don't worry, grandfather, I know. Oh, yes, "Before going to the palace to meet His Majesty, Ji Chongyan did not forget one thing, "Please prepare an extra copy of mooncakes for this Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to visit someone when I come back from seeing Your Majesty."

During the holidays, each family will naturally prepare festive snacks to visit and walk around each other, both for reason and friendship, and festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival will naturally not be missed.

Anguo Gong's mansion will also prepare festive snacks specially prepared by the master and send them to various mansions with good relations.

Does anyone need Brother Yan to pay a special visit?An Guogong was taken aback for a moment: "Which one is it?"

Brother Yan never cared about these small things in the past.

Regarding this, Ji Chongyan didn't hide it from An Guogong, and said, "It's Bo Dongping's family."

In the past, there was no Uncle Dongping in the family of the people who walked around, so since they wanted to walk around, they naturally had to say hello in advance.

An Guogong was taken aback when he heard this, but then he suddenly said "Oh": It's Uncle Dongping's house!Is it the family of Miss Jiang Si who was slandered by Brother Huan's ineffective?
It's time to pay a visit.Miss Jiang Si didn't do anything wrong, she blamed Brother Huan after all!An Guogong thought for a while, and felt more and more reasonable, so he turned around and walked towards the lobby: Look at the good deeds Brother Huan has done, and if he did something wrong, he still needs to apologize!
But he still didn't feel that he was wrong, and dared to glar at his brother angrily. After all, he still hit too little!
An Guogong was not a person who believed that a filial son would be born under a stick, but now that a series of bad things happened one after another, it gave him another idea: some people are born to deserve beatings!
……

……

Of course, not only people in Chang'an City are preparing mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Shaoyan, who is far away in Baoling, also started preparing mooncakes two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Let's enjoy a full moon together!
Of course there are mooncakes sold on the street, but as far as foodie Jiang Shaoyan is concerned, she has to make them herself.

As a modern person at heart, the mainstream mooncakes in Jiang Shaoyan's cognition are divided into two types: Suzhou style and Cantonese style.However, there is no such thing as Cantonese-style mooncakes in Dazhou at this time. Compared with Su-style mooncakes with crispy skins, they are the mainstream.

Jiang Shaoyan was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, so she really likes Soviet-style mooncakes.All kinds of meat fillings such as meat and meat are waiting to be baked and eaten while they are hot.

In this regard, Mrs. Liu, who was used to this kind of meat-filled mooncakes, took over the baking job without hesitation.

Jiang Shaoyan ran to the side and concentrated on tinkering with Wuren.The Wurenzi mooncakes that have been slandered by later generations are inseparable from those Wurenzi mooncakes sold on the street.Jiang Shaoyan had eaten it before, and it was really unpalatable. After one bite, it was full of sweet and greasy syrup.

However, Jiang Shaoyan has eaten really delicious five-nut mooncakes. The mooncakes made with melon seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds, almonds and olive kernels taste amazing. Nowhere is a name like a food.

This kind of filling is actually not difficult to prepare, the key is to be willing to use the ingredients, and these five-nut fillings are really particular about the use, the mooncakes are indeed expensive, and those five-nut mooncakes sold on the street are naturally impossible enough.

While concentrating on preparing the stuffing, Xiangli walked over holding the omelet that Jiang Shaoyan made in the morning with two chicken eggs, and said, "Miss, the Second Miss Fang is here."

Fang Zhihui?Jiang Shaoyan, who was peeling the pine nuts and pouring them into the basin, was taken aback for a moment, before she could speak about Xiangli, she continued talking.

"I also think it's strange! Didn't Second Miss Fang wait until the day of the festival to grab some snacks? Now she's here early!"

The old man often said not to speak ill of people behind their backs, as it is easy to be heard by the righteous master.

As soon as Xiangli said these words today, Fang Zhihui's voice was heard from behind the next moment.

"Jiang Si, take care of you girl! What do you mean by having snacks on a festival day? Am I that kind of person?" Fang Zhihui, with a high ponytail, murderously killed Jiang Shaoyan and Xiangli, and was about to kill Xiangli. Pulling over to teach her a lesson, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Shaoyan who was mixing the fillings. After seeing the fillings she made clearly, she couldn't help being disappointed and said, "Jiang Si, I thought you would come up with some new tricks when you make mooncakes." Well, it’s still the trick of the old Wuren, it’s really boring!”

"I want to eat five kernels." Jiang Shaoyan said lightly as she peeled the pine nuts.

There is some reason why the mooncakes of Wurensheng can be passed down from ancient times to modern times, and the situation has lasted for thousands of years.

Just like the beauties who are really favored by time are suitable for the past and the present, no matter where they are placed, they are all beauties, this is probably the so-called classic!
After Jiang Shaoyan ate so many mooncakes, she still likes Wurenzi the most, of course it is the authentic kind.

When not restrained, Jiang Shaoyan is a casual person.When I am in the mood, I will make some food to please others. When I am not in the mood, I just want to please myself.As for other people, if you want to eat, you can share some, if you don’t want to eat, please feel free, you can make or buy it yourself.

A Yu around her once laughed at her temperament like the white-haired and blue-eyed cat that the Jiang family bought from a Hu merchant in Luoma City to make her happy.

When you are happy, you can even take the initiative to coax you. When you are not happy, you can scream a dozen times and don't bother to talk to you.

But unfortunately, no one said she was like a cat after her death in her previous life, but she was said to be like a fox.

A vixen is also a kind of fox!Jiang Shaoyan, who is in a good mood today, thought: To be called a vixen is at least a compliment for her good looks in her previous life.

After all, a vixen also needs a threshold.

The old things are not all sad, but also happy. She likes the white-haired and blue-eyed cat very much, but it's a pity that she doesn't know where she went after she died.

However, Jiang Shaoyan is not too worried about the cat's fate. This cat is good-looking and rare, not to mention outsiders, even in the clan, there are many people who like it.

No matter how good she is as the master, she will not get involved with a cat who doesn't understand anything.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but smile.

Fang Zhihui, who had been picky for a while and had no new tricks, saw her smile and seemed to think of something, then his eyes lit up, he nudged Jiang Shaoyan with his elbow, winked at her and said, "Why? This Mid-Autumn Festival Same as the Qixi Festival last time, Prince Ji returned to Baoling to accompany you for the festival?"

Although Ji Shizi's taste really surprised her at the beginning, I don't know if it was an illusion. It was probably influenced by the taste of Xiang Li and Ji Shizi. The more she looks at Jiang Si in recent days, the more pleasing her eyes are.Maybe Jiang Si will be regarded as a great beauty if I look at it any longer. Fang Zhihui thought about it and saw Jiang Shaoyan on the opposite side shook his head, and said: "The prince of Ji returned to Beijing to accompany An Guogong to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ji Shizi returned to Beijing?Instead of being disappointed, Fang Zhihui was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief: Thank God, this season's son finally won't snatch Jiang Si away to spend the festival alone like last time.

Thinking about the last Qixi Festival after Jiang Si left, she stared at Xiang Li and Xiao Wu until midnight, she was really bored to death, Jiang Si was still interesting!

"That's just right, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together! It's your first time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiangnan! Every year in Gusu, there is a fireworks display for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and mooncakes from time-honored brands are given away. Let's go to Gusu to watch the fireworks and eat mooncakes!"

Gusu?Jiang Shaoyan's heart moved when she heard this, she put down the stuffing she was preparing and smiled: "Okay, let's go to Gusu!"

The ancestral home of the Yang family is in Gusu!
