Step on a branch

Chapter 325

In the house, Princess Pingyang is having breakfast.

Various snacks were laid out on the table, and the two maids were cautious.

The eldest princess asked: "Which one is cotton cake?"

The maid said: "The plate next to the steamed dumplings is filled with cotton cakes."

"So exquisite?" The eldest princess shook her head, "I still remember one year, when there was a severe drought and the grain was not harvested, in order to ensure the rations of the soldiers, the women in the rear had to cut back on food.

At that time, I was so hungry that I couldn't eat enough every day.

In order to comfort me, my mother told me that this cotton cake was among the things she ate in Qiyang.

It is said that it is not refined, but it is sweet. You can only taste it on New Year's Eve in a year.

I was too greedy to hear it. At that time, I thought, I must try it when I have a chance.

Who knew that after the world was settled, I lived in the middle of the capital, no longer worried about food and clothing, and also forgot about the things I craved when I was young.

Now, I finally have a chance, but it is different from what I thought before. "

The maid said respectfully: "In the early years, it was not refined, but in the past few years, life has become rich, and some improvements have been gradually made."

The eldest princess picked it up and took a sip: "What to change, it doesn't mean so much after changing it."

The maid smiled sarcastically.

A report came from outside, saying that the magistrate of Tang had come.

The eldest princess said lightly: "Go and tell him to wait a while, I haven't used up yet."

The maid has gone.

Tang Tuo heard what the maid said, and asked, "What are you eating today?"

"Mian Cake." The maid replied.

The corner of Tang Cho's mouth twitched.

The eldest princess is really not idle.

One kind a day, tell a story, all told by the empress dowager before, let Yan's cook follow suit.

Tang Chiu couldn't figure out how much the empress dowager told the eldest princess about eating.

Is this referring to opening a restaurant?
Even, the maids were confused about the dish mentioned two days ago, and the Yan family was also confused, and it is not easy to fool the eldest princess. They also sent people to the yamen to ask the well-informed Mr. He for advice.

Master He was also confused, and whispered to Tang Cho in private.

Could it be that the eldest princess made it up and made it up, to toss people?
Tang Cho couldn't tell.

But if you want to say that you don't pay attention to the various requests of the eldest princess...

Who doesn't know that the empress dowager treats this stepdaughter who has been raised by her as her own, and loves her so much?
When the eldest princess returns to the capital and complains about her being neglected by the Yan family in Qiyang City, everyone in the Yan family will have to be reprimanded.

After all, it's just some daily food, not delicacies so extravagant and wasteful.

Tang Cho waited for a quarter of an hour before Princess Pingyang came from the inner house.

He hurriedly got up to salute, and introduced Yang Xingren beside him.

The eldest princess nodded slightly, looked up and down the passers-by, and asked for documents to look over.

After reading it, she twitched the corners of her lips with a half-smile.

Zhao Li was dumb after this meal, and it was quite uncomfortable to eat.

What's more uncomfortable is yet to come.

"Since the guard of honor has arrived," Princess Pingyang said, "When will we leave?"

Yang Xingren replied: "The emperor and the empress dowager miss the eldest princess very much. After you lost your whereabouts, I am really worried. I hope your highness will leave as soon as possible."

"Worried?" The eldest princess sneered, "I became a traitor when I left the capital. I see, most of the eldest princess's mansion has been confiscated, right? Do you miss me? The queen mother misses me very much, my empress Brother, it’s hard to say.”

Yang Xingren shrank his neck, not daring to answer these words at all.

Say good things for the emperor?

There is still a seal on the gate of the Princess Pingyang Mansion!
The eldest princess didn't mean to embarrass him, so she said: "Then let's set off tomorrow."

After hearing this, Tang Cho was secretly overjoyed.

"Prefect Tang."

Hearing the Eldest Princess calling him again, he hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "You order."

"Immediately send a letter to Xie Yu, asking him to lead his troops to meet me at the boundary," Princess Pingyang said, seeing that Tang Tiao was puzzled, "Why, it's against the rules?"

"Where?" Tang Cho shook his head hurriedly.

Isn't it rare that this aunt has done unruly things in Qiyang Mansion?
Now it's time to talk about the rules.

"The lower officials asked Zhifu Xie to order soldiers to escort you across Guanzhou," Tang Chou said, "When you set off from Qiyang tomorrow, the lower officials will also lead the soldiers to escort you."

Seemingly satisfied with Tang Tzu's suggestion, Princess Pingyang nodded at him.

When leaving the house, Tang Cho's heart was more settled, and he arranged Yang Xingren to rest in the post house in the city, and he returned to the government office.

Master He came up to meet him and asked, "How is it?"

"Leave tomorrow." Tang Chou said.

"That's good, that's good." Mr. He rubbed his hands, and said, "The ancestor is still in the yamen, and the young one really can't bear it."

There are so many old files and documents, not to mention nitpicking, even if you are a little looser, you will definitely find some big and small problems.

Especially related to the Yan family.

Qi Yang is not the Qi Yang of their government, but the Qi Yang of the Yan family.

As long as it is related to Yan's interests, there are more or less tricks in it.

Master He tried every means to exchange all kinds of documents, just to let the eldest princess see as few documents as possible.

But I can't stand the eldest princess being idle.

Looking at it day by day, it will always make him unable to change to a safe one.

Furthermore, the money-making business that the prefect of Tang cooperated with the Yan family had to be carefully maintained.

With such a big Buddha in front of you, no matter what you do, it is very inconvenient.

It's better to send it away as soon as possible, and come to Taiping freely.

Tang Cho wrote a letter to Xie Yu and sent it quickly, and then, looking at the sun, he was quite anxious.

Finally, I survived this long day.

Before dawn, Tang Cho couldn't wait to arrange the accompanying soldiers, and urged Yang Xingren to wait outside the house together.

On the other hand, Princess Pingyang is still not in a hurry.

When it's time to get up, eat breakfast, and then go out the door.

Seeing the gorgeous carriage, Princess Pingyang and Yang Xingren said: "I don't want to take the carriage, but bring me a horse."

Yang Xingren agreed.

At Yan's house, the Sixth Old Master took the lead and led a group of people to bid farewell to the eldest princess, and ordered a few juniors to send them all the way out of Qiyang Mansion.

Sending the Buddha to the west is not so bad.

The eldest princess did not refuse, and got on the horse.

Raising the whip, she drove the horse forward, and everyone followed.

Passers-by on the road stepped aside, and everyone could see that among the crowd of dark-colored government soldiers, the eldest princess in red was very flamboyant.

After being on the official road, all guards of honor are in place.

Princess Pingyang did not deliberately delay, but the speed of the guard of honor was limited, and it was useless for her to be fast alone.

Tang Cho could only be patient and walk slowly.

The post houses along the way are also well arranged, and when the time comes, you have to rest when you should.

After walking so slowly and leisurely for three full days, the guard of honor finally reached the border of Qiyang Mansion.

Looking at the government officials who respectfully welcome the eldest princess in the distance, Tang Cho was so moved that his throat felt a little sore while he was breathing.

The hot potato can finally change hands.
