Jinghua little cook

Lu Xiling said that wealth and color were misunderstood.

Wei San felt that wealth nourishes people.

Take a look at the caravan entering Beijing from the Ancient Holy Church. It is vast and majestic. Some people even believe that they are royal guards.

Look at who among their escort team is not radiant, high-spirited, and in no way inferior to the people from Beijing.

Where does this confidence come from?
Of course it comes from the purse around my waist.

During dinner in the evening, Wei San was still gushing with emotion.

"Didn't you see that there was a large group of horses meandering along, three horses and one cart, each of which was filled with large cargo boxes? Hey, tell me, if this was another caravan, it would have been blatantly early this way. It had to be looted by bandits, but not a single feather fell off the ancient temple, that’s amazing!”

Wei San gave a thumbs up.

Douya made a sound and looked at Lu Xiling, his eyes brightening.

"A-Ling, isn't your second uncle the head of the Ancient Saint Church? Did he come to Beijing for your marriage to His Highness the Second? Isn't that full cargo box your dowry?"

"My God, that's not very glamorous. Even Princess Qinghe may not have as much dowry as you when she gets married!"

"Of course the princess won't be jealous of you, but people in Beijing will probably discuss this matter."

Lu Xiling laughed.

Douya is indeed getting more and more popular, and it seems that she can really go to other places to expand the market with peace of mind.

"Don't talk nonsense, those things might be dedicated to the Holy One." Lu Xiling filled Douya with another bowl of rice and completely blocked her mouth.

This time, not only the Ancient Holy Church but also the Uighur mission came to Beijing together. The two families were almost at the same pace.

There was excitement inside and outside the palace.

In the Jinluan Hall, the eagle was looking wildly, neither flying nor barking randomly. Its eyes were quite scornful of all living beings, and it looked like an emperor.

Emperor Qing had just received the quick report from Qingzhou, and his eyebrows relaxed. When he saw the eagle again, he felt appreciative of it and had the pleasure of playing with it.

"The eagle is the messenger of light from the Uighurs and a symbol of God. The Uighurs are determined to have good relations with the Zhou Dynasty."

As soon as the Minister of Rites said this, everyone in the hall looked at each other.

The last time the barbarian envoys came to Zhou Dynasty, they also said the same thing, and then used this to shamelessly ask the emperor for his most beloved little daughter.

This time, won't it be the same as last time?

The hall was quiet for a while.

Song Zhuoyu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Uighurs presented their eagles to Dazhou, comparing Dazhou to the gods who can lead them to the light. The Uighurs regard the gods as more important than their own lives. It seems that this move He should be asking for help from Dazhou."

Since it is a symbol of the gods, how could the Huihe people dare to negotiate terms with the emperor of Zhou Dynasty? The only possibility of sending the condor is that they want to ask for a big thing.

The ministers were puzzled, but Emperor Qing seemed to have a clear mind.

When he returned to the palace next morning, Bai Ye had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time.

Emperor Qing didn't look at him, so he retreated to the palace and walked toward the house.

The accompanying eunuch stopped at the door, saluted Bai Ye from a distance, and then motioned to the palace people to bring the dishes and rice inside.

Mix shredded chicken, fried lamb chops, and stewed fish with pickled vegetables.

He had been worried about the situation in Qingzhou for months. On this day, Emperor Qing rarely had an appetite.

Putting a piece of mutton chop in his mouth, Emperor Qing frowned.

It's delicious, but it's all served cold, so it's not as good as the ones in restaurants.

Thinking of restaurants, Emperor Qing had only been to one, and he naturally thought of that girl's craftsmanship.

Emperor Qing was chewing the cold mutton and thought to himself: It's coming soon, it'll be hot by tomorrow.

Bai Ye saw his old father's eyebrows crooked, so he stepped forward to serve him.

Emperor Qing snorted coldly and said: "It is difficult to be an emperor, but it is even harder to be an emperor who wants to marry a wife for his son."

The movements of his hands did not stop, Bai Ye smiled and accepted the training.

On the other side, Lu Xiling was also following the family master's teachings.

Liansheng took a sip of the red dates and glutinous rice drink and was amazed.

Unexpectedly, my granddaughter-in-law, who had never touched the spring water before, would now open a restaurant in the capital.

Instead of taking the literary route, I took the commercial route.She truly deserves to be their daughter!
Lu Xiling smiled apologetically while listening to the emotions of his second uncle and Yourong Yan.

When the old man said this, he meant "Although our status cannot compete with the Lu family, our genes are strong."

Lu Xiling smiled.

"Uncle, try this abalone dish. The abalone is fresh and plump just unloaded from the dock."

Lu Xiling didn't dare to make mistakes against his second uncle, and he didn't know how to make mistakes. After all, the two of them didn't know each other very well.

In addition, she often heard her and her second uncle's critical words in front of her mother, so her favorability towards this uncle was almost zero.

But when the old man rushed over today after a long journey, Lu Xiling realized how one-sided and narrow-minded his previous thoughts were.

"Your mother passed away early. The foundation of our family was damaged back then. The situation is over. I thought it would be the best choice for you to enter the palace and be raised by the Lu family."

"Alas, we later regretted that your mother only has you as her only daughter. It would be better for you to follow us than to live in fear in the palace."

Lian Sheng raised his sleeves and touched his tears.

"I heard that the Lu family was driven back to their hometown in the previous dynasty, so the family asked me to bring you back as soon as possible. I went, but the Lu family said that you stayed in the capital, and they said they wouldn't let us be the hand of the elders. It’s really unreasonable to stretch it too far.”

Lu Xiling smiled.

Come to think of it, the only person who can say such words and make the second uncle blow his beard and stare is only my cousin.

"But although we didn't care about you, we kept asking for news about you from the caravan. Later, I met a boss named Hu and said that we were old friends with you. I heard a lot about you from her. I feel relieved."

"You should try your luck at a young age. Who says women are inferior to men? If your mother hadn't been deceived by your father's smooth talk, she would have been a well-known head of the family."

Speaking of being cheated by a man, Liansheng was in trouble again.

That prince was not a vegetarian either, and was much more powerful than Hezhen's father. Hezhen's father was just a talker at most, and the most capable one was winning several wars of words in front of relatives.

But Bai Ye is different.

The first time Lian Sheng saw him was after the battle at Baisha Ridge. The man was covered in blood and kneeling at the door with a knife in hand.

It was not clear for a moment whether the blood was his or the enemy's.

It's pretty scary anyway.

At that time, the Lian family was cut off by the royal family, and Liansheng still had lingering fears for the court, especially the royal family.

Lian Sheng dared not agree to whatever Bai Ye said at that time.

But after he agreed, he regretted it. Shang was going the same way as Xiao Wu when it came to Shangguan.

He Zhen really followed her mother and only looked at people for their faces.

Besides, the two of them are married for the second time... As the saying goes, a good horse never turns back to let it go.

"So what is my uncle doing here?"

Lian Sheng stroked his white beard, patted Lu Xiling's hand in a deep voice and said, "If you don't want to, my uncle will not let you get married even if he dedicates the ancient holy church to the emperor."

"but……"

Thinking of what the crazy woman from the Lu family said, Lian Sheng was afraid that he had really misunderstood the Bai family, and he was even more afraid that he would delay his child's happiness because he stretched his hand too far.

Lu Xiling was the second eldest among his peers, and was only two years older than his granddaughter. Lian Sheng looked at her as if he were his own granddaughter.

"Second mother." Lian Sheng choked and said, "If you get married, you will naturally have your mother's family to support you in the future. Your cousin's aunt has a special status and cannot come to the capital again, but my uncle and I put together a few boxes. I will give you gold, silver and jewels as your dowry, and you will be able to marry into the palace with dignity."

"Don't let yourself be wronged after marriage. To the Bai family, we owe nothing. We are much richer than their family! In the future, they might even have to beg our family to replenish their treasury!"

"Hmph." Speaking of money, Liansheng straightened his back again, patted the table and said: "Your second uncle, I not only paid for it myself, but also went through all the troubles to attract important guests to our Da Zhou. From now on, at home, That guy surnamed Bai must be humble to you!"

"My uncle is also doing business for me? Is that all?"

Looking at the same civet cat smiling, Lian Sheng couldn't pretend anymore.

But he really wanted Lu Xiling to have a family to rely on in the future.

"Look at you, you are talking to a man before you are married. It seems that you have not yet understood the essence of business."

Lu Xiling laughed happily, stood up and bowed to his daughter, "Please give me some advice from my uncle."

Lian Sheng knocked on the table seriously and said: "Businessmen all over the world, if they don't make money during their travels, they will lose money!"
