Chapter 171 Plan
The second lady felt like she didn't know what to say next, she looked around and said, "Let's go to the room to drink tea, the prince's new Junshan Silver Needle."

An Xu still wants to go back to cook. Although she eats a lot outside, she never misses three meals a day.

"Second Madam, if you have anything to say, you can speak directly."

Second Lady: Why is it that she and the prince are going to catch up now?
But thinking of the prince's explanation, she smiled and said: "You are really impatient, I wanted to ask your opinion when I left."

An Xu: So, what's the matter with you.

The second lady said: "Look at our Nuoda mansion, it will be vacant as soon as we leave in the future. What a pity, if you want to settle here, you won't be able to buy a house in a month or two. Why don't you directly supervise the army here?" stay in the house."

An Xu thought of the guards on the third floor and the third floor here, and he was so stupid that he wanted to live under the eyes of the second prince.

"Thank you, Second Madam, for your kindness. It's just my family, my husband, he is a newcomer after all, so it's not good for a dove to occupy the magpie's nest."

After this decline, the second lady's expression turned a little ugly, and she continued to reveal: "You can stay here, my lord has said that, from now on, this may be the official residence of the Governor of the Northern Territory."

How can An Xu not understand the meaning of this sentence, which means that the second prince has a great chance of ascending to the throne in the future, and he will reward them with this house at that time.

Such a grand and luxurious house can become your own, it is a beautiful thing that makes you laugh when you dream, but you have to work hard to get everything, and it is not beautiful if someone can take it away with a word. .

Therefore, An Xu didn't feel cold at all about the pancakes painted by the second lady, so he said, "I can't make up my mind about this matter. I'll discuss it with my husband when he comes back."

After calling out my husband for the first time, it's much easier to call out again.

Seeing that she was so difficult to persuade, the second lady nodded with a dry smile, "You husband and wife should discuss it carefully."

Then turn around and leave.

An Xu shrugged her shoulders and looked down. Yan Diu and Yan Zhun, who had been following them just now, looked thoughtful. She smiled and patted the shoulders of the two little guys, "Let's go. You are so preoccupied with your thoughts. , did you understand what you just said?"

Yan Diu nodded his head and said, "Sister-in-law, it's fortunate that you didn't agree, I think elder brother definitely doesn't agree to live in someone else's house."

"Why?" An Xu asked.

"Because," Yan Zhun said seriously, "people have to bow their heads under the roof."

An Xu was funny, and wanted to say that you knew a lot at a young age, but after thinking about it, I understood why the little Yan Zhun would say that.

He should have been in a situation where people were under the eaves before he learned to walk.

She smiled and said to them: "It's good that you have this understanding, but remember, it's not under the roof of others with your elder brother and me."

Yan Diu raised his head to look at her unconsciously, and An Xu smiled and said, "You are brothers, and you will be brothers and sisters who will help each other in the future."

After hearing this, the two little guys nodded seriously.

In the main courtyard, the Second Prince was surprised after hearing the reply: "She didn't agree?"

The second lady said: "It should be that he dare not be the master of Master Zong, and said that he will discuss it after he comes back."

Mr. Lu, who was sitting by the side, frowned slightly. If they were allowed to live in the barracks, some things would be difficult to handle in the future, and Zong Che would be given a chance to subdue the middle and lower ranks of officers and soldiers.

So the best thing is to keep this couple in the Governor's Mansion. There are five thousand internal troops in the Governor's Mansion, all of whom are the second prince's confidantes.

The second prince pondered: "If they have to stay, this king has no position to force them to stay."

As expected of a military adviser, Mr. Lu had an idea as soon as he rolled his eyes, and said, "My lord, there is another plan available."

The second prince asked: "What's the plan? Sir, it's okay."

"Beauty tricks," Mr. Lu looked at the second prince and said, "Slender girl."

Su Yaoyao, at the age of sixteen, is the daughter of Su Qian, a wealthy businessman in Huoliang City. A month ago, the second wife hosted a flower appreciation banquet and invited most of the important people in the city.

Su Yaoyao followed her grandmother to the banquet, and Yiwu became the favorite of all the princes in Huoliang City, even the second prince Xiao Chen who was over thirty years old was not immune.

He wanted Nasu to be a slim concubine.

It took Wan Linglong three years to become a side concubine, and she was honored as a second wife, but now there is a woman who can climb to this position because of a dance.

How can she be reconciled?
After pestering the second prince for a long time, he gave up the idea of ​​marrying Su Yaoyao right away.

But Su Yaoyao will be the other concubine of the second prince in the future, and everyone in Huoliang City will agree by default.

Hearing Mr. Lu's words, the second prince suddenly felt a strong reluctance.

"Sir, Yao'er already has me in her heart, how can I bear to tell her to go with another man?" She was still a little girl, and the second prince was worried that she would be too distracted and commit suicide.

Mr. Lu brought up Su Yaoyao not only because he wanted to bind Zong Che, but he said earnestly: "Your Highness has not yet accomplished a major event, so you must not be in love with your sons and daughters. When you enter Beijing this time, you must find suitable forces and unite with them. The position of concubine should be vacant."

Hearing this, the second prince was silent for a long time.

"I know sir's kindness." He waved his hand and said to Wan Linglong, "You go to Su's mansion yourself and tell her about its strengths. In the future, this king will definitely give her a place."

An Xu didn't know that the family was broken and sad. She went back to the yard, changed her clothes in the room, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Ask the two little guys what they want to eat, they are not very hungry, but because of what sister-in-law said just now, Yan Zhun tried to order: "Sister-in-law, I want to eat small cakes."

An Xu smiled and said, "Then I don't have time to do it now. Your eldest brother must have eaten nothing in the morning. Let's make something that will satisfy him first, and then make cakes in the afternoon?"

Yan Zhun immediately clapped his hands and agreed, with a little joy on his face, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Yan Dig said, "I'll help you with what my sister-in-law wants to cook."

An Xu asked the cook who was waiting by the side, "What do you have for lunch?"

The cook said: "A large piece of fresh beef and a piece of pork ribs were delivered in front of us. They are seasonal vegetables in this season."

An Xu followed the direction she pointed, and opened the covered bamboo basket. Sure enough, the beef and ribs were very fresh, and the vegetables included eggplant and beans.

There are no tomatoes here, so she can only look at the very good brisket on the beef.

"Do you have red wine here?" An Xu asked.

"Yes, yes," the cook said hastily, "it's just that such good things are only found in the master's room."

Well, it's not worth borrowing wine from the prince for a red wine stewed beef.

The distance between here and the cities in the west is not too far. I heard from Zong Che that there is Hamili City, which is rich in grapes. The name of this city should be in the same direction as the modern Turpan Basin.

The name of Huoliang City, it is not known which modern city it corresponds to, but the name of Hamili is very representative.

When she goes out again in the afternoon, she will go to the vegetable market here to have a look. If there is the last crop of grapes, she will be able to realize the freedom of red wine.

If the ingredients are not complete, the beef will be braised in soy sauce, cut into mahjong-sized meat cubes, blanched and fried in oil, then colored with sugar and soy sauce, added with spices and simmered in water.

The ribs were also chopped into small pieces. An Xu marinated any seasonings in the kitchen and prepared to fry them later.

When she was busy, an arm was wrapped around her waist. Looking down, it was the dress Zong Che was wearing when she went out.

"Let go first, I still have to cook." An Xu didn't turn his head.

Seeing this scene, the cook and the two maids who helped the kitchen quickly turned their heads to avoid it, but Yan Di, Yan Zhun, and Partridge Daoxiang were all getting used to it.

The adult and the lady have such a good relationship, but the lady still wants to keep her favorite, what do you think?

Daoxiang was very troubled.

Zong Che rubbed his chin against An Xu's cheek before letting go and standing aside, "Can I help?"

It is the happiest thing for him to smell the familiar aroma of rice as soon as he returns home.

An Xu gestured to the noodles on the table next to him, and said, "There are only ramen left."

Zong Che immediately rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, and then, under the shocked eyes of a cook and two servant girls in the Governor's Mansion, he went to roll out the noodles, and he did it so smoothly.

"I've packed up the residence over there in the barracks, and we can move there tomorrow morning."

An Xu thought of what the second lady meant, sent the cook and the maid, and whispered what the second lady had said to him.

Zong Che said with a smile: "When did you become so smart and know that I don't want to live here?"

An Xu: Did anyone say that?

She's always been a smart person, okay?

"I think they will definitely persuade you again, so pay attention."

Don't let anyone take advantage of you.

Zong Che nodded: "Don't worry."

Neither An Xu nor Zong Che knew that Zong Che's help with the cooking had already become the headlines of the palace when the cook and the two maids were sent out.

In the afternoon, I didn't even eat lunch, and the second wife, who had been working hard at Su's house for a long time, returned to the mansion. As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw two little girls who were sweeping not far away, muttering together.

Wan Linglong frowned, and ordered the maid: "Go and ask, who are they talking about?"

Wan Linglong felt that all the servants in the mansion were laughing at her behind her back when she went to talk to a merchant girl.

But before returning to the room and changing clothes, the big maid who went to ask came back before the teacup was brought to her mouth.

"Ma'am, I'm talking about the new Mr. and Mrs. Zong."

Wan Linglong didn't believe it, "What do they have to say as a couple?"

"It is said that Mr. Zong is an excellent man. He will help Mrs. Zong cook when he comes back from a busy morning," said the maidservant.

"They cook by themselves? Could it be that they don't trust our cook?" The second lady's first reaction was this.

The big maid said with a smile: "My servant also asked, and those little maids said that Madam Zong's cooking is much better than the cooks in our house. I think I may not be used to it."
