Empress work daily

Chapter 304 Extra Story: Big Wedding Disturbance ([-])
It is said to be helping, but in fact it is dealing with many civil servants and military generals. After all, no matter how capable the guys are, they can't stand up to such a bunch of nobles.

This morning, Shen Wanjiu stood guard at the entrance of Zuixian Tower as usual, whenever a carriage stopped, he would go up to greet him in person, move the footstool and open the curtain, doing it very familiarly.

However, what made him suspicious was that there were much fewer people today than usual on the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

Strangely, when there is a big court meeting, there should be a lot of traffic in front of Zuixianlou.

Shen Wanjiu watched for a long time, and finally saw another carriage with a striking "tang" character on the upper left corner of the carriage. As in the past, Shen Wanjiu was sure that Tang Shangshu and Jiang Shangshu must be sitting inside.

Sure enough, when the curtain was opened, Tang Chongjian and Jiang Youba came down one after the other.

Tang Chongjian's first sentence was: "Is there still room for the whole table?"

Jiang Yousi blushed immediately, and turned his head away as if he didn't hear.He thought to himself, this old man Tang, he doesn’t know how to keep a low profile even if he takes advantage of it, even if he doesn’t say anything, Boss Shen will serve the food according to the highest standard—if there is still room for the whole table.

Shen Wanjiu's smile did not change, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, back to the two adults, there are still more than ten seats."

Tang and Jiang were overjoyed. After all, they came late enough. There were still more than ten free seats, which had never happened before.

In the past at this time, the whole table was lucky to have one seat left, if not, they would either simply eat two free side dishes with shortbread, or go to other adults for a meal with the cheek.

After finishing speaking, Shen Wanjiu said again: "May I ask you two adults, what kind of happy event happened in the court? Your lords didn't even eat the whole table you love?"

If you want to talk sweet, it belongs to Shen Wanjiu. Jiang Yousi stroked his beard with a smile, and he didn't show off: "Speaking of it, it's really a happy event. In the future, Song Guogong's eldest grandson Xisan will come down to court, and Song Guogong will send out wedding invitations one by one. The old man reckons that everyone will go home and prepare presents carefully."

That's why it was so deserted in front of Zuixian Tower this morning.

Shen Wanjiu was stunned, and at the same time secretly thinking about what kind of congratulatory gift he would prepare for the Duke of Song's mansion.

It was a coincidence that before Tang and Jiang entered the door, the carriage of Duke Song's mansion arrived, and Duke Song came down with a smile, and Shen Wanjiu hurriedly saluted and congratulated.

Song Guogong personally handed over the wedding invitation to Shen Wanjiu who was flattered, rubbed his hands together and said, "Princess, she..."

"I understand." Shen Wanjiu interrupted with a smile: "You go in and have breakfast, and I will pack a set of snacks that the princess likes to eat."

"No." Song Guogong rejected Shen Wanjiu's kindness, "I'd better go back and use it with my wife."

Shen Wanjiu hurriedly followed suit.Jiang and Tang greeted Song Guogong and went to the private room on the second floor.

When the food was ready, Shen Wanjiu came over with two pastries and two melon and fruit platters.

The so-called full table refers to meat and vegetables, soup and toppings, side dishes and finale dishes, desserts and fruit plates. There are a total of 24 items, all free of charge.

Under normal circumstances, this free full table is enough for five or six people to enjoy.

For example, Tang and Jiang share a portion, which is endless.Therefore, each time, the two of them only pick up their favorite food and enjoy it, and divide the rest into two, put them in boxes, take them home, and share them with their wives and children.

Zuixianlou's dishes are famous for being delicious and expensive, not something ordinary people can afford.For such a full table, the normal price is one hundred and ten taels of silver. Not to mention Tang and Jiang, the rich and powerful Qin Guogong dare not come to eat often. This is why Song Guogong came to get the food box in the name of sending wedding invitations. .

In the beginning, except for Tang and Jiang, no one had the nerve to come to take advantage of it, for fear of being laughed at.Later, they saw that Tang Chongjian's mouth was dripping with oil every time he ate, and he didn't even spend a penny for eating and taking, so they were moved.As a result, the situation has become the current situation, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries put aside all their old faces in order to fight for a free full meal.

Of course, not everyone is eligible for free full seats.First of all, not to mention those ordinary people, Zuixian Tower is not a place they can afford.Secondly, even if people who often come to Zuixianlou to eat, if they have not accumulated 1000 taels of silver in the past, even if they are the first to come every time, they are not eligible to enjoy the free full table.

Back then, Tang Chongjian gritted his teeth in order to qualify for 1000 taels, and invited Jiang Yousi to eat noodles for three consecutive days, before increasing the cumulative consumption of more than 800 taels in three years to 1000 taels.

From that day on, he secretly warned himself that from now on, he would only come to eat the free full table, other than that, even if he was hungry, he would not pay a penny.

"Boss Shen is too polite, ah, is this a honeydew melon?" Before Tang Chongjian finished speaking, he reached out and took a piece, took a bite, the sweetness made his internal organs extremely comfortable.

Shen Wanjiu smiled and said: "No, I just entered Beijing yesterday, fortunately this stuff keeps fresh longer."

Jiang Yousi also tasted it and was very satisfied.

Shen Wanjiu laughed again, "Now His Majesty proposes to return the herds to the fields. The land in the Dahe Corridor is suitable and the sunlight is sufficient. When the fields are corrected, honeydew melons and grapes can be planted in large tracts. By then, the two adults will be blessed."

"Really?" Tang and Jiang gasped in admiration.

Shen Wanjiu said firmly: "The young one also found out from Wang Shengjun. Since the old man said so, he can't be wrong."

That must be true, Tang and Jiang agreed.In the past few years, Wang Shengjun has become more and more confused about "land reclamation". After the development of the imperial palace, Shanglin Garden has been reclaimed. There is no place for Shanglin Garden, and he has shifted his target to the entire Mercy Mountains. Now, there are already fruit forests everywhere, and they only sell it every year. For fruits and dried fruits, His Majesty's private treasury has several 10 taels of silver.

This is not to mention that Wang Shengjun and all the holy servants have worked together to create a lot of fresh food and gadgets.The most amazing thing is that with the support of Wang Shengjun, all the major restaurants in the capital have "cooperated" with the royal family, and Shen Wanjiu even became a royal businessman. Too much mutuality.

Tang Chongjian was overjoyed and couldn't help "exchanging" the news, "The army will return triumphantly one after another, and the two Generals Shen are in the first batch of triumphant lists."

Shen Wanjiu was stunned immediately, and after realizing it, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and couldn't care less about being rude, she couldn't help crying.

Two years ago, his daughters Mianmian and Youyou successively stood out in martial arts competitions and became generals as they wished.Later, the army went north to attack Bei Rong, and the two daughters were named generals by His Majesty at the same time, and they went out with the army. Two years later, his old father did not know how many tears he shed, and how worried he was!
"Boss Shen is finally watching the clouds open to see the moon, don't be sad." Jiang Yousi comforted softly.

"Damn the young one for spoiling the interest of the two adults. The two adults are slow to use. Please feel free to send me if you have anything to do." Shen Wanjiu wiped away his tears and retreated respectfully.

Just as the door was closed, a voice came from outside: "Today, Zuixianlou is a little deserted."

When a familiar voice came, Tang Chongjian almost fell off his chair in fright. He said to Jiang Yousi with his lips: "Your Majesty?"

Jiang Yousi nodded slightly.

Tang Chongjian got up immediately, but was stopped by Jiang Yousi: "Wait a little longer."

They want to see His Majesty, but His Majesty may not want to see them.

Sure enough, after a while, there was no movement outside the door.

……

When the whole table was set, Ji Qiang ate with relish. Although the Four Vajras stood by and waited on them, their mouths were not idle. Not only were their mouths filled with His Majesty's, but their hands were also filled with trays of bowls.

"Boss Shen ever cried?" Ji Qiang stared at Shen Wanjiu and asked.
