Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 148
The aroma of chicken and the fragrance of lotus leaves are entangled, which makes people move their index fingers.

Holding new chopsticks and new bowls, after Li Shimin and Empress Changsun held a piece of meat, Li Mingda, who couldn't hold back, picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in a little water, bit his teeth lightly, tore off a piece of chicken, and slowly chew.

Free-range chickens are chewy, and a faint sweetness comes out of the mouth, making Li Mingda smile.

Prepare new bowls and new chopsticks, and the nobles should cut into smaller pieces. Aunt Fan accepted Fan Zheng's suggestion without thinking.

Doesn't it look right now?
If it was cut into big pieces, maybe Princess Jinyang would not like to eat it so much, after all, it doesn't look delicate enough.

"The craftsmanship has improved."

Empress Changsun smiled, but didn't eat much.

Years of illness and medication have always been harmful to the body, especially the appetite, which has indeed weakened.

After all, even Daoist Sun Simiao couldn't cure Qi disease, so naturally Feng Yizhi and the others couldn't.

Fan Zheng's last shot was nothing but a strong show.

Aunt Fan smiled brightly: "Fan Sheng brought the prescription from his hometown, and the little lady improved it."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Weinan?"

Fan Sheng was transferred to be the general of Zuo Xiaowei's mansion. According to the background investigation, Li Shimin wanted to pass the purpose. Of course, he knew that Fan Sheng had a lost sister, but he didn't think about Aunt Fan at all.

Aunt Fan smiled and said: "The origin is in Huayin, that is to say, the previous dynasty could not survive, so they had to be separated. Fan Sheng and Ye Niang moved to Weinan later. Unfortunately, the younger brother still did not make it through."

Fan Zheng added: "Therefore, His Majesty's sweeping across the wilderness and pacifying the universe, allowing the people to live a relatively stable life, is a supreme merit."

Li Shimin waved his hands, smiling reservedly: "It's not that good! Haha!"

When Aunt Fan and Fan Zheng spoke out, there was a strong taste of the market, although it was not elegant, it was true!
Those officials in the court hall were either picking their noses or eyes, or singing praises, and the clichés made Li Shimin's stomach tingle.

Hey, if you have an opinion, can't you just say it well, and you have to be verbal?

If you want to praise my achievements, can you not be so exaggerated?
Looking at Aunt Fan's burly figure, Li Shimin flashed a thought, if Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin and Aunt Fan came together for such a period, I don't know how amazing the offspring will be.

No, this thought is poisonous!

Magic!

Li Shimin couldn't control it, he laughed secretly.

It's not etiquette, but the idea, it's interesting!
After tasting the lotus leaf chicken, Li Shimin's family of three walked to Fan's house.

"Ah uh, ah uh."

In the stable, the three donkeys brayed cheerfully one after another, and the belly of the two grass donkeys grew much larger. Ku Zhenzhen and Tie Dazhuang were mending fresh forage.

Tie Dazhuang, the dog licker, finally got a little response. He was so happy that he didn't know the north, south, east, and north.

Fan Laoshi, Yuan Luan and Du Shengxia got the news a long time ago, they waited in the courtyard, and saluted quickly when they saw the emperor.

"Hey, you woman, you are pregnant and still want to learn how to be a blessing? Hurry up!" Empress Changsun's eyes were full of joy. "It's Liang Lingling Du Kan's younger sister, right? Your marriage is too noisy if you come out in the palace, so you can only ask Qingque's wife to give you some good gifts."

Fan Zheng finally solved a puzzle.

Even if Yan Wan and Du Shengxia are family friends, the Khotan white jade bracelet is still too precious, and the words of Empress Changsun can explain why.

Entering the hall and taking a seat, Ku Zhenzhen offered tea soup, snacks, persimmons and other things like butterflies in flowers, and Li Mingda tasted them with a smile.

Although the persimmons are produced in one place, Li Mingda feels that the persimmons outside are sweet.

In this regard, many children are the same, they think that the food from other people's homes is delicious.

"Don't eat too much sweets, be careful not to lose your teeth." Empress Changsun dotingly reminded her.

"Don't worry, Ma'am, I'll eat the last one." Li Mingda replied with a smile on his eyes.

Du Shengxia still couldn't hold back, and in front of Empress Changsun, she ate snacks and persimmons again.

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "At this time, being able to eat is a blessing."

Li Shimin said slowly: "The empress can come before the baby is born, so it's a destiny. Why don't I make a kind decree for this and pre-seal one to Shilang."

Gishilang is an official of the eighth grade, and the principle of bestowing an official position should not exceed the rank of Fan Zheng, a minister.

Fan Zheng got up and crossed his hands: "Fan Zheng, on behalf of the unborn child, thank you for your grace."

Chatting about the world and commenting on right and wrong, Li Shimin talked eloquently, but changed the topic, but he came to Fan Laoshi: "As the leader of the army back then, I bowed down to be a grassroots citizen, which makes people laugh. Doctor, who is the fifth-rank upper-rank Wen San official, Zhong San doctor, and who is the fifth-rank upper martial arts official Ding Yuan, which one do you think is suitable?"

Li Shimin determined that Fan Laoshi's handwriting was absolutely responsible for the work of Dou Huaishan's house.

evidence?

Just a joke, the emperor is doing business, what evidence is he talking about?
Come here for an interview, the meaning is only one, don't make too much fuss, just accept a little bit of rules.

Fan Laoshi paused for a while: "However, this Fan's woodware workshop is my painstaking effort, and I can't give it up."

The rank given by Li Shimin is exactly the fifth rank, which is said.

In addition to Fan Laoshi's merits in those years were enough to reach the fifth rank, the wives of the fifth rank officials also had to be granted titles.

Officials of the fifth rank, honorary officers of the third rank, and the mother or wife can be granted the county title.

Five-rank casual officials and service officials, four-rank honorary officials, and mothers or wives can be granted the title of Xiangjun.

If it is the mother's title, add the word "Tai" before the name of the town, such as Mrs. Wuchang Houtai and the like.

There is also a stipulation that if a concubine gets a fifth-rank official, he must first be named his aunt (the father's wife), and if there is no aunt, he must be named his birth mother.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You love wooden wares. Of course, I will not force others to make things difficult. I insist that you cut off this business. Let alone mentioning Lu Guogong's Cheng Yaojin, does his family have no business? It's just hanging on the sidelines. It's just a part of the song, the head of the servant."

So, "Family of food and salary, don't compete with servants for profit" has become empty talk after all.

With a complete expression, Li Shimin stared at Fan Laoshi seriously: "I know that your original intention is to protect your wife and children, but your movement this time makes me afraid. Even if you are dissatisfied, your boss is an official, so you should leave the government. deal with it, rather than acting in private."

"You don't want to be an official, I can't sleep or eat, and I can only turn against each other and draw my sword against each other."

Du Shengxia's eyes widened and her lips parted slightly, obviously unable to accept the huge amount of information.

Fan Laoshi scratched his head: "Then, is it still Wu Sanguan? It's agreed, I won't go to any appointments or court meetings."

Although Fan Laoshi still doesn't want to be restrained, but when it comes to this point, if he doesn't accept it, he will bring disaster.
