Chapter 257 He’s reminder

Because Mr. He's health was not yet well, Prime Minister Sun did not enter the palace today. The housekeeper did not take it seriously when the housekeeper returned from Guang Enbo's house and moved it into the main courtyard. He only asked people to count and store them.

The servant opened the box, and a faint scent of tea spread in the room. Only then did Prime Minister Sun look at those things, "What is it?"

The butler didn't know why, so he stepped aside respectfully and took out the thing, "Sir, it's paper. I heard from the servants of Guang Enbo's Mansion that even the princess couldn't put it down. This paper is very famous in Quzhou Mansion."

The housekeeper just thought that he was a servant of Uncle Guang En's house and didn't know anything. Now that he saw something, even he was a little surprised.

"Quick! Show me!" Prime Minister Sun couldn't wait to stare at the butler taking out the things.

He stood up curiously, "Master, what is this good thing? It smells weird."

She also comes from a scholarly family and likes elegant and novel things.

Prime Minister Sun held the thing in front of He, with an excited expression, "Yes! This is it! Princess Yongyang brought a batch of paper back from Quzhou Mansion before, and showed it off in the palace. Thanks to the eighth prince, our son I also got one. I looked at it carefully and found that the quality was really high, even better than Qingzhou rice paper.

It can be compared with the tribute paper used by the emperor. Many people want to know the origin of this paper. Unfortunately, Princess Yongyang is very strict and refuses to tell. Later, Eunuch Dekang went to Quzhou Prefecture and brought some more rice paper. The old guy was more slippery than a loach. , We people have been speculating for a long time, but we just didn’t ask anything. We didn’t expect that there were so many people in Uncle Guang En’s house! "

"Stupid!" Mr. He wanted to give Prime Minister Sun a few hits on the head. "This piece of paper is hard to find. Uncle Guang En gave away so many at once. Didn't you think carefully about it?"

"Think about it carefully?" Prime Minister Sun realized it later and patted the back of his head in annoyance, "Yes! Uncle Guang En must know the paper maker. Madam, thank you for your hard work. Please go to Uncle Guang En's house a few times in the future to take care of my husband." Ask around."

He laughed angrily, "Master, have you never thought that this paper might have come from Guang En's residence?"

"This, this, this, this, is impossible! It's amazing how Guang Enbo, a female prostitute, has come so far! How can it be possible to get such paper again?" Prime Minister Sun subconsciously retorted, thinking that He was too exaggerated.

He thought of Jiang Ning's appearance in her mind and thought that her guess was reasonable. However, she did not intend to argue with her master over this matter, so she looked at the housekeeper and asked, "What else is there besides paper?"

The butler hurriedly presented the gift list, "There are also four jars of wine, said to be brewed by Guang Enbo himself. There is not much, so I can only give it away in small quantities. In addition, there are some specialties from Quzhou Prefecture. Quzhou Prefecture is famous for it. There are mountains and rivers, and there are a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas. There are frozen fish and shrimps, some venison, and dishes that are not common in the capital.”

"Hey! These are all good things!"

Living in the capital is not easy. Everything is expensive in the cold winter, let alone seafood. Almost all seafood is shipped from outside. There is no price in the market, and demand exceeds supply.

Although the Prime Minister's Mansion has some wealth, Prime Minister Sun is in a high position. In order not to be criticized, he never accepts filial piety from his subordinates. Their family's income comes from Prime Minister Sun's salary and the income of Zhuangzi and four shops, although it is quite a lot. , but cannot squander it.

In the past, the fish they used during the Chinese New Year were all freshwater fish sent from their own village. This freshwater fish is not as novel as the seafood.

Madam He suddenly became energetic and quickly asked her personal maid to help her out to have a look.

Because Uncle Guang En's gift in return won the heart of Mrs. He, her impression of Uncle Guang En's mansion suddenly became extremely good. She was about to discuss the arrangements for the New Year with Prime Minister Sun, when she turned around and looked at Prime Minister Sun, who opened a jar of wine. , already full.

Mr. He was very helpless, "Master, I'm sick, how can you still drink at my place?" "Hey, I couldn't hold it back for a while, madam, would you like some too?" Prime Minister Sun felt guilty to please.

He gave him a blank look. As soon as she sat down on the dressing table, she saw the frowning Prime Minister Sun in the bronze mirror.

"What? It doesn't taste good?" He turned around suspiciously, "That's not right! This wine smells like this, there's no reason why it doesn't taste good!"

Although she is a woman, wine tasting is something that a high-class woman must know.

"No!" Prime Minister Sun continued to frown, took a few more sips carefully, and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper: "I remember that I still have several jars of Yunze Meng and Seven Star wine bought from Yunze Winery at home. You can get them all."

Mr. He also realized something was wrong at this moment. He went over and poured himself a glass. He tasted it carefully. The more he tasted it, the brighter his eyes became. "Good wine! Why is the master frowning?"

"You will know in a moment." Prime Minister Sun looked solemn and did not want to say anything, so He waited obediently.

The butler filled the cups with Yun Ze Meng and Seven Star Wine. When He tasted them, he found out that there was a problem, "What's going on? Can Uncle Guang En brew Yun Ze Meng? Isn't that the Dong family's secret recipe?"

Prime Minister Sun shook his head and sighed repeatedly, "I suddenly have a bad feeling, and I don't know if Uncle Guang En knows about this!"

The taste of this wine is so similar to Yun Ze Meng, even slightly better than Yun Ze Meng. If the Dong family knew about it, they would not let it go.

Although Guang Enbo was granted a title by the emperor, in terms of background, he could not be compared with the Dong family at all. Moreover, the Dong family's relationship in the capital was complicated, unlike Anguo's palace. If he really matched up, he might not be able to gain favor.

He was a smart person, and she also thought of the problem that Prime Minister Sun thought of. She panicked immediately, hurriedly asked someone to dress her up, and hurried to Uncle Guang En's Mansion.

Jiang Ning was busy teaching Yang Datou and Liu Ye how to cook. When he heard that He was visiting, he hurried out to receive them.

Mr. He only exchanged a few words with her before getting to the point, "Today I received my uncle's New Year's gift. To be honest, I really like it. The paper was even sent to my father's heart. When he was happy, he said that he wanted to Drinking wine, uncle gave me a few jars, so he opened it. After drinking, guess what he found? "

Jiang Ning immediately guessed the purpose of He's visit, and the smile on his face became more sincere, "Madam, do you want to say Yun Zemeng?"

"You know?" Mr. He was shocked. He really couldn't calm down, so he simply stopped talking and looked a little more anxious. "My uncle is new here and may not know the background of Yunze Winery. The Dong family is the best at charming. I have sent people to the backyards of many powerful people, including Aunt Chun, the biological mother of Xue Shao and the talented people in the palace. That Aunt Chun is the adopted daughter of the Dong family!"

"I really don't know about this!" Jiang Ning was really shocked. He never expected that the people who had made enemies with them when they first arrived in the capital were related to the Dong family.

Mrs. He sighed helplessly, "There are so many people who don't know about this! It's because Aunt Chun is about the same age as me. Mrs. Zhou, the first wife of An Guogong, is also somewhat related to my natal family, although we are not related to each other. Relatives, but the two families were officials in the same dynasty, so naturally they had some contact.

At that time, it was no secret that Mrs. An Guogong was overwhelmed by a concubine. My mother even defended Mrs. An Guogong, saying that the Dong family was a dangerous person.

It was also at that time that I learned that Aunt Chun was the adopted daughter of the Dong family, and she was raised by the patriarch's wife. If she had not fallen, she would have been the Dong family's biggest supporter in the capital. "
