son-in-law

Chapter 247
The princelings and the princelings are fighting openly and secretly, and the forces of both sides have become more and more powerful.And the struggle intensified.

In the face of party disputes, some people wandered left and right, wanting to board the big ship, but worried about the capsizing of the big ship.The wait-and-see period is about to pass. Even though there are still people who remain neutral on the surface, they are more or less involved in party struggles in private.At this time, the prince's party continued to dig out some old-fashioned officials, while Cao Yuzan focused on the three hundred students who were waiting to be official.

Empress Cao reshuffled the officialdom by handling unjust cases, and this method was clearly seen by everyone.There are newcomers promoted by Queen Cao in the three provinces and six departments, and before they are hired, they will go to the apse to meet the queen.Everyone can basically guess what they will say between them.

Although the princelings are growing, their old problems remain unresolved.The problem is particularly prominent in the court.Under the leadership of Zhao Zhun, the princeling party took various actions in an organized and premeditated manner, while the princeling party was in disarray.They lack a gathering place, and they lack a person who can advise on major events.

If Cao Sheng is unwilling to open up his general's mansion, then who will be the adviser has become an urgent problem for the queen to solve.It is said that Zhao Ting, the food officer of Xuanjia Governor, intends to take up this role, which is good news for Cao Yuhan.But Zhao Ting's conditions were greedy and harsh, which made the young Empress Cao hesitant.

In Changqiu Palace, Empress Cao was frowning.At this moment, Cao Xiaobao came in with a young eunuch. The young eunuch had delicate features and looked like a big girl with a pink butterfly.Cao Yuzan looked up and saw that it was Tong Yu who she personally selected and sent to Chang'an County Lord's Mansion.

Tong Yu greeted the Empress first, and then handed over a gift.The little eunuch smiled and was very cute and lovable, pretending to be mysterious, not saying what the gift was.Cao Yuzan opened it and saw that it was a pastry that he had never seen before.Curious in my heart, I tapped my finger and asked, "What is this?"

Tong Yu respectfully said: "Su Yushi personally made it for the empress, saying it is a good meal for pregnancy protection, snow creamy sweet cake."

Cao Yuzan seemed to understand something, and she was overjoyed: "Could it be that Su Yushi also learned this from an expert in the mountains?"

Tong Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is smart, she guessed it right away."

Cao Yuzan pinched her fingers lightly, and said with a smile, "Tell Su Yushi that you should give it away often in the future. Come here, give Tong Yu a passing waist card, so that it will be convenient for him to come and go in the future."

While speaking, Cao Yuzan turned the pastry over, saw a gap, immediately raised her eyebrows, and said rather viciously: "Who is the one who owes this to try a bite out of this cake!"

Cao Xiaobao hastily said: "It's an old rule in the palace, food brought by outsiders must pass the inspection of the imperial dining room."

"Su Yushi is such a handsome man, how can he harm me?" Cao Yuzhan waved his sleeves angrily: "Go and ask that Huang Tianju, he took a bite and made the medicinal food lose two catties. If he destroys the effect, can he afford it?"

The empress's words seemed to be muddled, but they were actually adding weight to "Su Yu sent herbal meals".

I believe that even if Cao Xiaobao went to question the eunuch Huang of the imperial dining room, he would still try to eat the food next time.If he dared to make omissions, it would not only be as simple as being scolded.

Tong Yu's attack this time, of course, was not to deliver cakes, he brought some suggestions from Su Yu, and also made some requests.Su Yu's most important advice to Empress Cao is that she must never entrust the heavy responsibility to Zhao Ting.And this proposal was actually told to Su Yu by Tang Zhen.But Tang Zhen didn't want Su Yu to tell Cao Yuzan that he was the one who said this.

-

In the past few days, the male and female masters in Chang'an County Lord's Mansion have seemed a little mysterious.The one upstairs is obsessed with cutting and sewing, while the one downstairs works with eggs all day long.Tang Linger wasted fabric, and Su Yu wasted eggs.The extravagant behavior of the two masters left the servants speechless.

But compared to the expensive Caijuan wasted by Tang Linger, those eggs wasted by Su Yu are nothing.

"Hey, I failed again." Su Yu baked another piece of shriveled cake: "Xiao Huan, come and eat it."

Xiao Huan had already eaten three yuan, and her face showed embarrassment.

Su Yu turned her head: "Tong Xi'er, come and eat."

"Master Jun Ma, I really can't eat anymore." The little servant girl patted her belly: "Look, my belly is bulging."

Tong Xi'er ate enough food for several days in a row, and it turned out that the color on her face had disappeared.Instead, it was rosy as a girl should be, and with a pair of big crystal clear eyes, she looked more cute.

"Old Huang! Come and eat!"

"Hmph! I don't want to eat." Lao Huang looked a little annoyed: "The sage said, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and the young master shouldn't be like this."

"You don't need to go online for me!" Su Yu pulled her face down: "If you don't eat it, store it for me and keep it for Tang Liantongyu."

At this time, Tong Yu was holding a bowl of egg yolks, chasing cats everywhere.At the beginning, the little cihuamao got tired of Su Yu's side because he had egg yolk to eat.But later, there were too many egg yolks, and the kitten couldn't eat them.Tong Yu chased the cat, but in fact she was avoiding Su Yu, for fear of being asked to eat the cake again.

I've been eating this thing for the past two days, and I'm getting tired of eating it.

In order to be able to communicate with the empress frequently, Su Yu came up with a trick to make some special cakes and send them to the palace in the name of pregnancy protection.If you want to do it, do what Liang Chaoren doesn't know.Then through his own name of "other person", Tong Yu can often go to the palace to send him off.This way, there will be no gossip.

Su Yu thinks that this is really a good idea.

But making cakes is not so easy, and Su Yu is very demanding, saying that it is even more difficult to make it fluffy.

The reason why I came up with this method was inspired by the jade craftsman Lao Huang.Lao Huang has a tool for drilling holes in stones, which looks like a cross with ropes tied at both ends. When he yanks the horizontal bar, the vertical bar rotates very fast.Su Yu replaced the drill bit with a bamboo ring like a whisk to beat egg whites.Not to mention, it worked.

After the egg whites were beaten, sugar and flour were added. After several days of unremitting "practice", Su Yu finally made a cloud-like fluffy cake.This thing is really unheard of in the eyes of Liang Chaoren.But this is in line with Su Yu's "foreigner" status, and outsiders only know that it is an expert in the mountains who teaches the secret method.

The Daliang Dynasty had a holiday every five days, and taking advantage of the empress's holiday, Su Yu brought Tong Yu to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Su Yu went to the censor's room to read the documents, while Tong Yu went to the harem with Xue Ningzhi sweet cake.Tong Yu stood at the gate of the palace for a quarter of an hour before Cao Xiaobao came to the gate of the palace and told the imperial guards that it was the empress who let her pick him up, and then brought Tong Yu into the palace.

-

"Well, the taste is really good." Cao Yuhan tasted the cake, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that such a good thing is a pregnancy-preserving medicinal diet, otherwise it would be good to give the emperor a taste."

Tong Yu rolled her eyes and didn't talk nonsense.

At this moment, Cao Xiaobao was wrestling a court lady, and called another court lady out, reprimanded them for their unclean hands, and asked them to wash their hands.

The two maids were so wronged, but they couldn't offend the queen's personal eunuch, so they washed their hands.

Tong Yu said in a low voice: "Su Junma has a friend named Ouyang Jing, who is very rich in his family and wants to work for the prince's party, but he has nowhere to turn."

"Oh?"

Before Cao Yuzan could ask, Tong Yu hurriedly said again: "This man was doing business in Huazhou Prefecture in the early years, and he did some wrong things..."

Then Tong Yu told Cao Yuzan about Ouyang Jing's situation.Cao Yuhan had no color on her face, she just listened quietly.Finally, she gently waved her hand and said:
"There is no need to say any more. Since he has become a pure person, he probably won't do that kind of thing again. Later, he will inform the Liangzhou government to release Hu Er, and then tell the Huazhou government to settle Hu Er. In the name of the unjust case, he will make up for it. Hu Er's house and land. As for Ouyang Jing, let him hand over the wicked woman, escort her back to Huazhou, and strangle her to abandon the city."
