Yipin Tianxia
Chapter 581 Level 1 World [Thousand Words! 】
Stepping into the broken garden again, Lu Ying's mood was simply great.
Before that, she finally came up with that clever plan and opened the secret garden, which not only made money, but also brought a bad reputation to Xianyuan.Unexpectedly, within a few days of being proud, she was destroyed by that savage woman, Princess Changle.
The business of the secret garden couldn't continue, and it almost got the palace involved.The empress was so tired that her head was not her head, her face was not her face, and she finally won the empress's favor, and she heard that something happened to Ouyang Kang without thinking about it.
Could it be that God thinks Princess Jiashan is too annoying, so he wants to help her vent her anger?In short, this time, Lu Ying was very happy to obey the empress's order, to come here to do her best.
As for the little unhappiness that happened before coming here, Lu Ying forgot all about it on the way.Make up your mind to find a place here.
Anyway, with the reward from the empress, can Nianfu not see her?
Seeing Nian Fu's tired and haggard face at the end of her pregnancy, Lu Ying felt even more proud.
"...The empress knows that the princess is in a bad mood recently, so she specially ordered the servants to bring these supplements. No matter what, the princess must take care of herself. If you want to talk about the horse..."
"Go and help me go back to Empress Empress. I'm in a good mood, and I'll miss her."
"Princess, why are you holding on? Although..."
Nianfu glanced at her coldly, and interrupted her again, "Does the empress really hope that I'm in a bad mood?"
Lu Ying's smile froze, "Why?"
"Then you slave really want to see me in a bad mood?"
Lu Ying gritted her teeth, "I don't dare."
"That's it. I'm not in a bad mood. Why do you have to say that under the banner of the queen? Yes, the whole capital knows that my man doesn't want me anymore. But so what? I didn't Relying on him for a living, now and in the future, I don’t need to rely on him to live, why should I be unhappy?”
Nianfu caressed his stomach, with a contented and confident expression, "I have children and relatives, and I am bestowed by the emperor. I have a fief of Jiashan Princess. I am rich, powerful, and have a background. Now it is just one less man , can’t I remarry? Do I have to cry and hang myself from that tree to make people laugh?”
Lu Ying was so choked that she couldn't speak.
Nianfu glanced at her and sneered slightly, "Go back and tell the queen. The princess is very open-minded and doesn't care about that man at all, so please don't worry about the queen. If you really want to worry, it's better to help the county Lord, please pay attention to any young talents who can recruit me a good husband-in-law. I am quite interested to hear about it."
Lu Ying was completely speechless, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth. "If the Princess can think so, Miss Dou should feel at ease to marry the County Horse. I heard that their wedding is coming soon, can the Princess ask your maidservant to tell you and congratulate you?"
Nianfu sneered, "What are you, why do you act on behalf of the princess? Besides, aren't you the Queen's maidservant? You are flattering the princess like this. Do you want to step on two boats?"
Lu Ying's face turned pale with anger, "Forgive me for my slip of the tongue. This servant will leave."
Nianfu chuckled, "My princess is in a good mood today, so let me warn you, slave girl. If you care so much about other people's marriages, you might as well try to find a way to marry yourself out quickly. It will save you from being so idle all day long. Tune in three times and make people say that you old girl is out of order."
Lu Ying went back to the palace with a blue face.
When she was in front of Queen Wang, she began to complain one by one, "That Mrs. Dou is so ignorant of flattery, the Empress Empress returned all the rewards and said nothing, this marriage is not worthy of congratulations. Isn't that blaming the Empress Empress? As for the Princess Jiashan, it is even more annoying, those words are shameless, and the servants have no shame to learn."
"Say!"
Queen Wang's face was sullen, and she listened to Lu Ying's embellishment and added a lot of words.She was so angry that her expression changed, and after sending her away, she ordered someone to call her confidant eunuch, "Go and tell the adults outside, leave the palace to me, and ask them to take care of you outside..."
■
When he saw the people sent by Ji Longfeng, Chai Rong was on his way to the capital.
"Go back and tell your general that there is nothing to talk about. In the current situation, I believe he knows what to do better than me. If he wants to, he can do it directly. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to bother to bargain with me anymore."
When the visitor left, Chai Rong asked He Xian, "If we work together, what are our chances of winning?"
He Xian said indifferently, "To be honest, I don't think it's [-]%. The only chance is to control the palace, and then steal the day before other people can react. If so, there are three problems to be solved. One is to control Jing Zhaoyin, he is the emperor's confidant, he is in charge of the inner city forces, the second is to control the Imperial Forest Army inside and outside the capital, and the third is the power on the waterways of the Caobang. You still have a chance to instigate rebellion in the first two, but the last one..."
He shook his head.
The Cao Gang does not belong to any army, it is the power that King Qi has found, so it is impossible for them to accept the recruitment of anyone else. If things change, these Jianghu people will be the most unpredictable force.
Chai Rong was silent for a long time before making a decision.
■
This year's twelfth lunar month does not have New Year's Eve.
Then the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is a day for family reunion and happy new year.It is also the birthday of Mu Shaoqin and Mu Shaoqin brothers.
Early in the morning, Nianfu sent people to Mujia Cemetery on the outskirts of the city to worship and offer incense. Because she was inconvenient, she only took Xiaoshuzai and went back to Pingwang Mansion to pay homage to the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall here. Liezong.
When I got home, I gave out rewards as usual, prepared a sumptuous reunion dinner, and even distributed red envelopes to everyone because of the upcoming production. But although everyone in the broken garden was smiling, they were not in a high mood .
Even Xiao Shuzi, who always loves to play and laugh, has been a little dull recently.
After returning from offering sacrifices in Prince Ping's mansion, he sat silently on the blanket, playing with his Luban lock, his small figure looked extremely lonely.
Nianfu sighed subconsciously, and a warm hair leaned over.
It is prosperous wealth, as if I have experienced the mood of the owner.Leaning against her hand, rubbing gently and gently.
Nianfu smiled slightly, looked in the direction of his son, touched Wangcai's ear, and pointed to the toy box.
Wangcai understood, ran to the toy box, pulled out a small ball, put it in front of Xiaoshuzai, and gave him a big beak.
Little Potato doesn't want to play yet.But Wangcai picked up Wangjiu, the big blue cloth dog, dragged it to the door, and then looked back.
Well, two to one.
Little Potato got up, grabbed the ball and ran to the porch.With a raised hand, the ball was thrown out.
Wangcai ran out quickly and picked up the ball.Throw the little potatoes again, and pick up the wealth again.After playing for a while, Xiaoshuzai finally laughed, giggling and running along with the ball.Such crisp laughter warms people's hearts.
Nianfu hugged a stove and asked people to open the window to watch.The expression on her face gradually softened, even if she became haggard and ugly after pregnancy, she still radiated a layer of natural maternal beauty.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the small courtyard was a little too quiet.It seemed that apart from Xiaoshuzai and Wangcai, they didn't see anyone walking or hear voices talking for a long time.
Nianfu looked around wonderingly.But unexpectedly, I saw a bright yellow in front of the courtyard gate.
I was taken aback.Take a closer look, isn't Gao Xian here?Sitting on the shoulders, with Luo Xiaoyan and Shou Ning, smiling and watching, Xiaoshuzai and Wangcai giggled and rolled into a ball on the snow.
And all around, the servants had already knelt down on the ground, because it was the emperor's order, no one bothered.
Seeing Nian Fu looking over and hurriedly getting up to greet her, Gao Xian waved his hand at her from afar on his shoulders, "You don't need to be too polite, just stand in the room."
Following his greeting, Shuzai and Wangcai, who were still on the ground, finally noticed the person coming at the door.
Although he hadn't seen the Emperor's cousin for several months, Shou Ning came here often, and said with a smile, "Xiao Shuzi, why don't you present yourself to the Emperor soon? Cousin taught you that."
When Xiao Shuzai heard this, he immediately fell down and bowed to the emperor like a big chubby worm.There is also a very magical sentence, "The emperor is auspicious!"
Where is this?
There are three black lines falling on the forehead of chanting blessings, and there will be retribution for teaching the son indiscriminately.She hurried out and bowed to the emperor under the porch, "Your Majesty, I am ignorant, please forgive me."
Gao Xian was amused a long time ago, "No wonder, no wonder, get up quickly. I heard that your son is a late learner and often becomes a blockbuster. When I saw him today, he really is. Hey, what is your dog doing?"
Nianfu looked up and saw three black lines coming down again.Wangcai from her family stood in the way, squatting on his hind legs, standing up on his front legs, with his paws moving forward, making a bow.
Such an action, if a little pug does it, it will feel very cute.Of course, Wangcai did it when he was a child, and it was cute.But now that such a big dog makes such a move, who cares about it except my family?
But Wangcai has a habit of doing this every Chinese New Year, like a child, even when meeting strangers.Nianfu couldn't bear to hurt the self-esteem of her dog son, so she had the cheek to speak up for him.
"It cares about His Majesty asking for a red envelope, Your Majesty, you can give it whatever you want." After saying this, Nian Fu felt embarrassing and flustered.Asking for money has brought him to the emperor, this is no ordinary money fan.
Gao Xian laughed out loud when he heard this, and really took out two red envelopes from his bosom, "I originally prepared these two for Shuzai and his unborn younger siblings, so let's reward them first now. As for your family This second child, I will take care of what I want after it is born."
Nianfu blushed, and waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no. My Shuzai doesn't care much about money. If you give him a red envelope, he will give it to others. The emperor rewards Wangcai, and the other one will be given to him in the future by Shuzai." The younger brothers and sisters are. They are still young, so it is good to be able to enjoy this kind of joy."
While talking, Du Chuan had already pushed Su Cheng out to welcome him.
As soon as Su Cheng received the news that the emperor was coming, he immediately ordered people to tidy up the open pavilion in the broken garden that was most suitable for receiving guests, and now he came out to greet him in person.
"It's rare for the emperor to come here, so why not visit our home as well, let everyone in the family have this honor, thanks to Mu Tianen."
Gao Xian chuckled, "That's exactly what I mean."
So he happily rewarded the red envelope, Wangcai took it back to the house to put it away, then shook his head and followed the emperor's team, and made a tour of the broken garden in a pretentious manner.
It was inconvenient for Nianfu to accompany him, so he went straight to Changxuan.
As for Luo Xiaoyan and Shou Shou.I also took Xiaoshuzi and went to play with the big team.
When Gao Xian walked over, Nian Fu and the old lady had already decorated the open house with colorful flowers, and put all kinds of snacks and food on the table, looking satisfied.
When Gao Xian came in, he first smiled and admired the setting of the broken garden, "...I never expected that you built the garden so well. I'm afraid you don't need to spend money, you have to earn money, right?"
Nianfu smiled. "It's not our fault, it's all done by the underlings. Your Majesty should know that when we first came to the capital, we were extremely poor. Someone tricked us into buying this house, and we didn't even have enough money to eat. It's all because of poverty." We had no choice but to toss everyone to grow vegetables and flowers. Those who raise chickens and feed ducks are all used. Later, thanks to Mr. who helped us plan, we have what we are now."
Gao Xian nodded again and again, "This is very good, much better than my fancy and useless imperial garden. Your garden is for making money, while mine is purely for burning money."
Su Cheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world. If your Majesty can't even have a garden that burns money, how will the subjects of the world live?"
Gao Xian laughed. "So, the burning of money in my garden is still a merit? Su Qing, your mouth is always irrefutable. But I see that there are quite a few of you. Although the garden is big enough, didn't you just say that it is better? Do young people get married? When they have another child in the future, how will they arrange it?"
Nianfu pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Actually, the emperor sees that there are too many people. When the new year begins, there will be fewer people. Most of the people have something to do outside. Like the leisure garden I built. I settled some people..."
Gao Xian suddenly smiled, and interjected, "The garden you and Zhenshun ran, is the business going well?"
Nianfu nodded honestly, "It's not as good as before, but it's still supportive, take your time." She changed the subject in time, "There are still some people, such as Luo Wu and the others, who are not our family's servants, except for a few young ones watching The rest are either in the pharmacy, or in the pastry shop, and some will be sent to the farm or embroidery village in the future, as they like."
Gao Xian asked again, "Then are they willing to go? Isn't it good to stay in the garden? You don't need to answer this question, let someone from them come, just Luo Wu."
The servants kindly pushed Luo Wu out, and he, who was already half-grown, blushed, stepped forward and replied in a low voice, "It's good to stay in the garden, but it's also a decent way out."
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Gao Xian said with a smile, "It's okay, you can speak truthfully."
Then Luo Wu was rude, "At home, you are not as free as you are outside, and you have money. We are doing well in the pharmacy, like their girls in Xianyuan, earning more than us. Sister Xi, do you think so?"
The servants laughed again, and pushed the blushing Laixi forward. The girl who was always eloquent outside also got stuck this time, and stammered, "Actually... I don't earn the most..."
After all, Cui Rong had seen the world, so she led her to answer, "You don't earn much, you just earn a decent dowry for yourself. Nowadays, there are still decent people outside who want to hire you as young mistresses, so you can only make do with it." .”
"Where... how can there be any young mistress?" Lai Xiyi was anxious, but he spoke smoothly, "It's just that the family is richer. Although the princess is kind enough to let me go out, to be honest, I don't want to go. You laugh again , I really won’t go.”
Gao Xian laughed when he heard that, "Then why?"
Laixi told him earnestly, "I am in Xianyuan, and I am already familiar with it. Even if the business is not good now, I can always earn one or two taels of silver every month. If the business was good in the past, four or five taels It's normal. After a year like this, plus the red envelopes that the princess gives everyone during the holidays, there will always be three or forty taels. What's so bad about this day? The family that wants to hire me now has a small business. It is estimated that the shop will only make two to three hundred taels a year, and you have to take care of such a big family. Your majesty, do you think it is better to allocate it to the family for peace of mind and security?"
Gao Xian smiled, "Well, that's the truth. But it's easy to find a priceless treasure, and it's rare to have a lover. If the person you want to marry is good, it doesn't matter how much money you have."
"That's not what you said." Laixi got excited and forgot about his dignity, so he retorted, "My mother said that no matter how good a person is, he can't afford to grind daily necessities. Once it changes, nine cows will not be able to pull back, so it is better for women to have something to settle down. Only my father wants to let me go because of his face."
That's when she said that.Suddenly found that everyone was a little strange.
Laixi was startled, and hurriedly said, "Princess, this servant didn't do it on purpose..."
Nianfu raised his head and smiled, "Your mother is right. But Laixi, you can earn money like this here, so why are you afraid of getting married? Money can never be earned, but when you meet a good person, you don't have to worry about it." Easy. Even good people will turn bad one day in the future, but after all, they have been good before. It is more memorable than never experiencing it in a lifetime."
Gao Xian changed the subject in a timely manner, "It's not easy to meet a good person, and it's not easy to meet a good cook. Cousin, my cousin is here today, can I ask you to cook for me? Don't bother too much. Keep the daily life simple. .”
Nianfu nodded, "Of course."
Leaving Su Cheng and the old lady chatting with the emperor, Nian Fu got up and went out.
In the kitchen, Yao Shiyi had already prepared, "Princess, tell me. What are you going to do?"
Nianfu looked at so many ingredients in the kitchen, all of a sudden.I felt like I didn't know what to eat.
Maybe it was touched by Laixi's words just now, or maybe it's because all the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time surged up at this moment, making people's heart full of mixed feelings for a while, and they were at a loss as to what to do.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, but everyone knew it in their hearts.
Today is Ouyang Kang's newly married day.
He and that Miss Dou, the Mu family owed a bride.The daughter of the Dou family, who has lost countless lives, is about to get married.
According to the rules of the capital.It should be the heaven and earth worship at noon, so at this moment, it should be the time for the banquet guests.Thinking back to the past, Nian Fu still remembered that she was once accompanied by a group of people in the bridal chamber, waiting for the dark and the arrival of her groom.
Strangely, the mood at that time was actually not very happy, but upset.
After being tossed about for a whole day, I was really exhausted and panicked, I just hoped that the guests would leave quickly so that they could remove the heavy phoenix crown and lie down quickly.
I just don't know how the bride is feeling now, and the groom.
……
All people know about it, and everyone doesn't talk about it.Even the emperor came to see her in person, which shows how bad this matter is.
Nianfu restrained his thoughts and forced himself to look back at the ingredients in the room.But what to do?The more anxious you are, the more directionless you seem to be.Obviously the ingredients here are enough to make a lot of dishes, but they just don't know what to make.
"emperor."
Suddenly, Yao Shiyi bowed deeply.
Gao Xian walked in, waved his hand, Yao Shiyi backed away.
The emperor looked at Nianfu with gentle eyes, like an elder brother, "If you really can't do it, don't force it, I know, you are in a bad mood."
He paused again, "Speaking of which, Daliang is sorry for you. You... blame me."
Nianfu shook his head, the long earrings stuck to his cheeks, feeling a little cold, "I don't blame the emperor. This is something that can't be helped, no one wants to."
Gao Xian looked at her for a while, "When you feel sad, just cry out, don't hold it in your heart, you've wronged yourself."
Nianfu still shook her head, but there were crystal drops of water falling down, and then, she finally opened her mouth, "I...sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't gone to Beijing. Or, what would have happened if I left earlier."
Gao Xianyouyou took her words, "That way you won't have the glory of today, but you can live a much more ordinary and happy life."
"But in that case, maybe I won't be able to find my father in this life, and I won't be able to meet many good friends...Although, although I have experienced many bad things, I am always grateful. I thought... I didn't expect God to play such a big joke on me again."
The water drops fell like broken beads, and quickly rolled down her smooth skirt, wetting two small balls of water on her high belly.
She choked up and said, "Actually, I have complained... I blamed him and the emperor. Why did I send him out? Why didn't I just issue an imperial decree and return him to me? But I thought again, so Is it interesting for someone who wants to come back? Then, I thought, who in this world can’t live without him? If he wants to leave, let him go, and I’ll find someone better.”
She sniffed, "Your Majesty, you won't laugh at me, will you?"
Gao Xian shook his head silently, Nian Fu raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and breathed out, "That's all right." She suddenly looked at Gao Xian and smiled, it was a heartfelt, joyful smile.
"Okay, let me cry, I feel much better. Your Majesty, this kitchen is dirty, you should go out first. Don't worry, I will definitely make a very special dish for you to try."
Gao Xian stared at her intently for a while.He suddenly smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."
When the emperor left, Yao Shiyi came in and asked, "Princess, what are you going to do?"
Nianfu smiled, her clear eyes showed that she had already made a decision.
"I want to be my fire tree and silver flower."
■
On the night of the bridal chamber, red candles were burning high.
But the newcomer sitting on the wedding bed didn't smile.
Dou Rongruo imagined her newly married appearance countless times.But he didn't expect this to be the case.
Bitter, but also sad, wronged and disappointed.
It's not that she can't refuse, but if she refuses, the one who will replace her here will be Wan'er, Peng Zishou's biological daughter.Sister Wan, who has been close to her since she was a child.
The adoptive father's attitude was very firm. He deliberately avoided Dou Rongruo and took another route to Beijing.In fact, there is another reason she doesn't know, which is to bring Wan'er to Beijing.
At this moment, she was standing beside her, bringing her a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup with red eyes. "Sister Ah Ruo, you haven't eaten all day. At least eat something."
This is already the third bowl of noodles brought by this girl, but Dou Rongruo really couldn't take a bite.
Wan'er lowered her head sadly, and was about to cry again, "I really don't know what father thinks, why must I marry you to that... If it was me..."
"Okay, Wan'er, I'm suddenly a little hungry." Dou Rongruo forced a smile on her face, pretending to eat noodles.
Suddenly.The door of the bridal chamber opened and the groom came in.
"Get out." This is what the groom officer said to Wan'er.
Like a bride who can't smile.There was not much joy on the groom's face either.Although he was really good-looking, Wan'er couldn't like him at all.
However, she still plucked up the courage to say to the man who was already her half-brother-in-law, "You...you must treat my sister well..."
"I said, get out!" The bridegroom officer looked at her coldly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.Suddenly, he glanced at Dou Rongruo who was biting his lip, and showed a strange smile, "Or, if you want to stay, it's not impossible. I think, since your father is willing to marry your sister to me, one more... "
"Wan'er, let's go!" Dou Rongruo stood up with a pale face, and pushed the little girl who was too shocked to move out of the door.
Wan'er could only see the door of the new house being closed by the groom's door, and then, Dou Rongruo's low-pitched cry came from inside.
She couldn't take it anymore, and cried to find her father.
"Father, don't let Sister Aruo marry that person, please. You didn't see that he went to Sister Aruo just now..."
But what answered her was Peng Zishou's heavy slap, "Marriage matters have always been decided by the pregnant parents. Your sister has no parents, so naturally it's up to me to decide. If you continue to be so lawless, I will marry you off tomorrow. Get out of here." Go back to your own house!"
Wan'er was ashamed and wronged, and ran away crying.
Peng Zishou looked at the congratulatory people sent by the imperial court around him, and smiled without changing his face, "I'm sorry, the little girl is used to being wild and doesn't know the rules. But when you marry a daughter, you should cry a few times."
"It's true, it's true." Someone laughed and made a nasty joke, "I guess the little girl was scared when she saw that the groom was too anxious?"
A large group of men, and quite a few people from the rivers and lakes, immediately pulled a few colorful jokes, which quickly made everyone forget about the little unhappiness caused by Wan'er.
Of course, there were more cautious people who quietly went to listen to the corner.
I saw that the door of the new house was indeed closed, but the red candles were shining brightly, and the woman's low, seemingly absent sobbing sound could be heard, so I couldn't help feeling relieved.And looking back at the Cao Gang brothers, they were all drunk at seven or eight times, and they fell down one after another, and they were helped back to rest.Looking at the entire garrison again, the defenses are lax, like a piece of meat on a cutting board, completely undefended.
So, someone quietly left...
■
broken garden.
The last thing Nianfu held in front of Gao Xian was a small brass hot pot shaped like a peony flower. The base was a small copper stove. Under the stove was a small brazier with two red-hot pots. Charcoal, very delicate and beautiful.
No matter how casual the household is, no one really dares to eat a hot pot with the emperor, so Nianfu specially took out the small hot pot that blacksmith Shi originally gave Xiaoshuzai as a congratulatory gift, and presented this dish to the emperor.
"My master calls this dish Huoshuyinhua. Your Majesty, try it. Is it delicious?"
"Is this a side stove? It's different from the ones I've eaten before."
Gao Xian looked at the five small compartments in the pot with great interest.Each grid is arranged in five rows, with different ingredients such as white, green, black, red, and yellow.
But when he picked up a piece of red-looking meat and put it in his mouth.However, there was a hint of bitterness in the taste, which made people frown slightly.
Nianfu smiled slightly, and asked Gao Xian to eat some other dishes, and then asked, "Your Majesty, is it delicious?"
Gao Xian frowned, somewhat difficult to answer.
Nian Fu took the soup spoon and scooped out a piece of white and tender tofu from the stamen in the middle, with soup and water. "Then ask the emperor to try this again."
Gao Xian looked at her suspiciously, but he didn't refuse because she was his cousin.However, when he scooped up a small spoonful of tofu and put it into his mouth, his expression changed drastically.
Shocked, he took another look at the tofu and took another bite.Then it wasn't until the tofu and the soup were all eaten up that he asked in surprise, "What kind of tofu is this?"
Nianfu smiled, "It's just the most common tofu at home. It's really not a rare thing. Your Majesty, is it delicious?"
Gao Xian looked at her.Nodding appreciatively, "This is the most delicious tofu I've ever eaten. It's just that I don't understand why these ingredients tasted so weird before?"
Nianfu smiled slightly, and picked a small piece from each of the five ingredients and put them together, skewered them with thin silver skewers, and sent them to the emperor, "These five colors represent the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty. Even if you eat it alone, it doesn't taste good. But the emperor tried it together?"
According to Gao Xian's words, he put the silver pick in his mouth, when the five ingredients were chewed and mixed in his mouth, it produced a wonderful taste.
Some are sweet, some are bitter, some are salty, some are sour, some are spicy, but after swallowing them in the end, there is a different aftertaste, which makes people want to try again.
Gao Xian was simply amazed, "Cousin is so thoughtful to cook such delicious dishes!"
Ke Nianfu shook his head, "If you want to thank you for this dish, you should thank the emperor. If you hadn't told me those words just now, I wouldn't be able to make this dish."
Under Gao Xian's slightly astonished gaze, Nianfu smiled softly and brightly, "Life is like these five flavors. Whether we like it or not, we have to taste all the bitterness, hotness, sourness and sweetness. In the end, let this bland taste Tofu is dyed with various flavors. But whether it is bitter or sweet depends on people’s hearts. If you feel bitter, it is bitter, and if you feel sweet, it is sweet.”
Nianfu shook his head lightly, looked at this dish, but his eyes fell on an unknown place, "Actually, why did this tofu taste good? The difference is just the choice of people."
Although her voice is soft, the artistic conception is far away.Everyone in the room looked complicated after hearing this.
YouQi Gao Xian got up suddenly, went to the window to look at the vast and silent Furong Pond in winter, and poured all his unspeakable thoughts into the lake.
Except for Xiaoshuzi, who looked at the small hot pot in front of the emperor eagerly.
This gift belonged to him, but his mother never gave it to him.It doesn't matter what the little potato is, but what's in it?It looks delicious, can you give him a taste?
Su Cheng didn't come back to his senses until his hands were bitten by soft teeth.
Looking down, the little thing in his arms was biting his tiger's mouth, looking at the small hot pot affectionately, half of his hand was bleeding from the crystal halazi.
Hmm, Xiaoshuzi is a sensible big boy, he knows that he can't just order food at the banquet, so he doesn't say anything, he just looks at it.
Su Cheng's expression remained unchanged, but he quickly withdrew his hand, wiped it under the table, and stabbed Du Chuan next to him.Du Chuan understood, and kicked Nianfu while the emperor was still awake.
When the mother turned her head, she saw her son's little eyes full of affection.Looking at Shou Ning and Luo Xiaoyan again, almost everyone has some kind of longing in their eyes.
Nianfu laughed suddenly, and simply stretched out his hand, cut up the dish one by one, put it on a skewer, scooped up a small bowl of soup, and gave a portion to everyone to taste.
It's a pity that there is only one piece of tofu, and there is no more.
However, this also made everyone extremely satisfied.
Except for Xiaoshuzi, he drooled for a long time and gave everyone a change of food, but unfortunately his teeth didn't grow well, and apart from taking a sip of soup, he couldn't chew the toothpick.I could only make a bitter face, and spit it out again.
It's just that the movement was a little louder, and finally Gao Xian turned his head in shock.
Seeing Fat Potato's wrinkled face, extremely resentful and depressed, he suddenly burst out laughing in a good mood.As if he had figured out a very important problem, his whole body was filled with a sense of relief and joy.
"No matter how good the dish is, it's useless without teeth. Cousin," Gao Xian looked at Nianfu, and said with a smile, "Your dish is called Huoshuyinhua, it's too embarrassing, how about I give you another name?"
Recite blessings and act like a good boy, "Then thank the emperor's cousin first. What's that called?"
"Eat all five flavors, and return to the original, I want to call it," the emperor paused.smiled and said——
"One product of the world."

After returning to the palace, Gao Xian immediately issued an imperial edict.
Seal it in a red sandalwood box, cover it with the emperor's seal, order someone to send it to Poyuan, and give it to Su Cheng, the doctor of Jinzi Guanglu, and make a statement.The mustard opened behind him.
The news was too shocking, and Gao Xian didn't hide it from anyone.
Therefore, Queen Wang knew immediately.
Your Majesty, is this a reserve?
Anyone would think so when they are so sensitive.
But if, it was her son who stood up.Why did the emperor not put the imperial decree in the palace, but act like this?
Queen Wang gritted her teeth.The final decision was made, "Lu Ying, make a bowl of soup, and I will deliver it to the emperor himself. The emperor has to watch the night today, but it's hard work."
……
In the night, outside the gate of Cao Gang's garrison, there are black shadows about to move.
When you see the direction of the palace.A firework was lit, and Chai Rong gave an order in the dark.
……
"kill!"
After Ji Longfeng received supplies from Chai Rong.Lead the remnants of the troops to attack the Royal Forest Army on the outskirts of the capital.
……
On the grassland thousands of miles away from Beijing, Zhuoge said to Gong Sunhong, "After tonight, the whole grassland will be mine! And in another ten years, the whole world will be mine!"
The lights illuminate his young face, full of ambition and vigor.
Outside the tent, the [-] troops had assembled neatly, ready to go.
……
Xiaoshuzi in the broken garden couldn't stay up all night, and after the fireworks were set off, he fell asleep in his master's arms.The red envelope just received in the little hand slipped down and was about to fall.
Wangcai looked up, took the red envelope away quickly and gently, and put it in its nest, forming a happy circle, and soon began to snore.
……
Taishi ten years, New Year's Eve.
Destined to remain in the memory of many people.
But for Xiaoshuzi, life is no different from usual.
He went to bed, woke up, nursed, played, and took baths as usual.
Of course, life is still a little different.
Even during the few days of Chinese New Year, the family never took him out.
But it doesn't matter if you stay in Poyuan, because he dug out a sled from Shigong's house.Then, Shigong helped him put on Wangcai.Then, he and brother Xiaogouzi can drive Wangcai every day on the snow in the broken garden.
Originally, the servants at home had nothing to do, and along the road built for Su Cheng, Naxue also built a small ski run for him.
But when the princess saw it later, she came out with a big belly, and instructed everyone to sweep all the snow from the garden into the Cuju field, and pile it up into a small ski field. The adults can make some simple snow plows, and follow the They played together.
Xiaoshuzi loves the excitement and the thrill of flying down from a high place, even though he fell several times because of this, he never tires of it.
What's annoying is that no matter how fun the winter time is, spring is still coming.
The snow slowly melted and the ski resort was gone.The uncles and aunts in the broken garden are also going to work.
Even though Wangcai had a good temper and changed the sled into a small cart, and pulled him around the garden to play, Xiaoshuzai still felt lonely.
Especially in the past few days, everyone said that mother was going to give birth to younger brothers and sisters, and everyone was so busy that Xiaoshuzi was even more depressed.Today, even the master who has been staring at him doesn't care much about him, Xiaoshuzai feels even more boring.
If he gave birth to younger siblings, everyone would stop playing with him, Xiao Shuzai felt that there was nothing to like about these guys called younger siblings.
Fortunately, there are still people who miss him.
The little dog brought him a big butterfly kite, "Master, let me take you to fly the kite. Grandpa bought it for me. Let's play together."
Okay, Xiaoshuzai happily followed the puppy to fly the kite.
It's just that they are too small, apart from running around with the kite by the string, they can't fly it at all.I didn't pay attention for a while, and stuck the kite on a small tree.
How to do?
Xiaoshuzi jumped and jumped vigorously, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it.The little dog can't reach it, even if it moves a stone, it still can't reach it.
"Young master, you stay here and watch, I'll call an adult."
The puppy ran away, and Xiao Shuzai still wanted to try it, unsteadily, stepping on the stone, trying to stand on tiptoe, enough, enough, suddenly, the stone under his feet shook, he yelled, The whole person fell backwards.
Just when Xiaoshuzai thought that he was going to fall and his ass would explode, and he would be beaten if he didn't turn around, there were two hands that hugged him firmly.
When he saw his face clearly, Xiao Shuzai froze.
***
Taro: In the next chapter, I'm finally getting rough!
Potato: You finish it as soon as you come out, what's there to be happy about?
Taro: Don't you want to see me?
Potato: Are you ready to honor me?
Taro:……
Potato Dad: Why didn't anyone express their opinion on my coming back?
Wangcai: Are you back?Did you bring me a red envelope?
Potato Dad: ... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
Before that, she finally came up with that clever plan and opened the secret garden, which not only made money, but also brought a bad reputation to Xianyuan.Unexpectedly, within a few days of being proud, she was destroyed by that savage woman, Princess Changle.
The business of the secret garden couldn't continue, and it almost got the palace involved.The empress was so tired that her head was not her head, her face was not her face, and she finally won the empress's favor, and she heard that something happened to Ouyang Kang without thinking about it.
Could it be that God thinks Princess Jiashan is too annoying, so he wants to help her vent her anger?In short, this time, Lu Ying was very happy to obey the empress's order, to come here to do her best.
As for the little unhappiness that happened before coming here, Lu Ying forgot all about it on the way.Make up your mind to find a place here.
Anyway, with the reward from the empress, can Nianfu not see her?
Seeing Nian Fu's tired and haggard face at the end of her pregnancy, Lu Ying felt even more proud.
"...The empress knows that the princess is in a bad mood recently, so she specially ordered the servants to bring these supplements. No matter what, the princess must take care of herself. If you want to talk about the horse..."
"Go and help me go back to Empress Empress. I'm in a good mood, and I'll miss her."
"Princess, why are you holding on? Although..."
Nianfu glanced at her coldly, and interrupted her again, "Does the empress really hope that I'm in a bad mood?"
Lu Ying's smile froze, "Why?"
"Then you slave really want to see me in a bad mood?"
Lu Ying gritted her teeth, "I don't dare."
"That's it. I'm not in a bad mood. Why do you have to say that under the banner of the queen? Yes, the whole capital knows that my man doesn't want me anymore. But so what? I didn't Relying on him for a living, now and in the future, I don’t need to rely on him to live, why should I be unhappy?”
Nianfu caressed his stomach, with a contented and confident expression, "I have children and relatives, and I am bestowed by the emperor. I have a fief of Jiashan Princess. I am rich, powerful, and have a background. Now it is just one less man , can’t I remarry? Do I have to cry and hang myself from that tree to make people laugh?”
Lu Ying was so choked that she couldn't speak.
Nianfu glanced at her and sneered slightly, "Go back and tell the queen. The princess is very open-minded and doesn't care about that man at all, so please don't worry about the queen. If you really want to worry, it's better to help the county Lord, please pay attention to any young talents who can recruit me a good husband-in-law. I am quite interested to hear about it."
Lu Ying was completely speechless, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth. "If the Princess can think so, Miss Dou should feel at ease to marry the County Horse. I heard that their wedding is coming soon, can the Princess ask your maidservant to tell you and congratulate you?"
Nianfu sneered, "What are you, why do you act on behalf of the princess? Besides, aren't you the Queen's maidservant? You are flattering the princess like this. Do you want to step on two boats?"
Lu Ying's face turned pale with anger, "Forgive me for my slip of the tongue. This servant will leave."
Nianfu chuckled, "My princess is in a good mood today, so let me warn you, slave girl. If you care so much about other people's marriages, you might as well try to find a way to marry yourself out quickly. It will save you from being so idle all day long. Tune in three times and make people say that you old girl is out of order."
Lu Ying went back to the palace with a blue face.
When she was in front of Queen Wang, she began to complain one by one, "That Mrs. Dou is so ignorant of flattery, the Empress Empress returned all the rewards and said nothing, this marriage is not worthy of congratulations. Isn't that blaming the Empress Empress? As for the Princess Jiashan, it is even more annoying, those words are shameless, and the servants have no shame to learn."
"Say!"
Queen Wang's face was sullen, and she listened to Lu Ying's embellishment and added a lot of words.She was so angry that her expression changed, and after sending her away, she ordered someone to call her confidant eunuch, "Go and tell the adults outside, leave the palace to me, and ask them to take care of you outside..."
■
When he saw the people sent by Ji Longfeng, Chai Rong was on his way to the capital.
"Go back and tell your general that there is nothing to talk about. In the current situation, I believe he knows what to do better than me. If he wants to, he can do it directly. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to bother to bargain with me anymore."
When the visitor left, Chai Rong asked He Xian, "If we work together, what are our chances of winning?"
He Xian said indifferently, "To be honest, I don't think it's [-]%. The only chance is to control the palace, and then steal the day before other people can react. If so, there are three problems to be solved. One is to control Jing Zhaoyin, he is the emperor's confidant, he is in charge of the inner city forces, the second is to control the Imperial Forest Army inside and outside the capital, and the third is the power on the waterways of the Caobang. You still have a chance to instigate rebellion in the first two, but the last one..."
He shook his head.
The Cao Gang does not belong to any army, it is the power that King Qi has found, so it is impossible for them to accept the recruitment of anyone else. If things change, these Jianghu people will be the most unpredictable force.
Chai Rong was silent for a long time before making a decision.
■
This year's twelfth lunar month does not have New Year's Eve.
Then the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is a day for family reunion and happy new year.It is also the birthday of Mu Shaoqin and Mu Shaoqin brothers.
Early in the morning, Nianfu sent people to Mujia Cemetery on the outskirts of the city to worship and offer incense. Because she was inconvenient, she only took Xiaoshuzai and went back to Pingwang Mansion to pay homage to the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall here. Liezong.
When I got home, I gave out rewards as usual, prepared a sumptuous reunion dinner, and even distributed red envelopes to everyone because of the upcoming production. But although everyone in the broken garden was smiling, they were not in a high mood .
Even Xiao Shuzi, who always loves to play and laugh, has been a little dull recently.
After returning from offering sacrifices in Prince Ping's mansion, he sat silently on the blanket, playing with his Luban lock, his small figure looked extremely lonely.
Nianfu sighed subconsciously, and a warm hair leaned over.
It is prosperous wealth, as if I have experienced the mood of the owner.Leaning against her hand, rubbing gently and gently.
Nianfu smiled slightly, looked in the direction of his son, touched Wangcai's ear, and pointed to the toy box.
Wangcai understood, ran to the toy box, pulled out a small ball, put it in front of Xiaoshuzai, and gave him a big beak.
Little Potato doesn't want to play yet.But Wangcai picked up Wangjiu, the big blue cloth dog, dragged it to the door, and then looked back.
Well, two to one.
Little Potato got up, grabbed the ball and ran to the porch.With a raised hand, the ball was thrown out.
Wangcai ran out quickly and picked up the ball.Throw the little potatoes again, and pick up the wealth again.After playing for a while, Xiaoshuzai finally laughed, giggling and running along with the ball.Such crisp laughter warms people's hearts.
Nianfu hugged a stove and asked people to open the window to watch.The expression on her face gradually softened, even if she became haggard and ugly after pregnancy, she still radiated a layer of natural maternal beauty.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the small courtyard was a little too quiet.It seemed that apart from Xiaoshuzai and Wangcai, they didn't see anyone walking or hear voices talking for a long time.
Nianfu looked around wonderingly.But unexpectedly, I saw a bright yellow in front of the courtyard gate.
I was taken aback.Take a closer look, isn't Gao Xian here?Sitting on the shoulders, with Luo Xiaoyan and Shou Ning, smiling and watching, Xiaoshuzai and Wangcai giggled and rolled into a ball on the snow.
And all around, the servants had already knelt down on the ground, because it was the emperor's order, no one bothered.
Seeing Nian Fu looking over and hurriedly getting up to greet her, Gao Xian waved his hand at her from afar on his shoulders, "You don't need to be too polite, just stand in the room."
Following his greeting, Shuzai and Wangcai, who were still on the ground, finally noticed the person coming at the door.
Although he hadn't seen the Emperor's cousin for several months, Shou Ning came here often, and said with a smile, "Xiao Shuzi, why don't you present yourself to the Emperor soon? Cousin taught you that."
When Xiao Shuzai heard this, he immediately fell down and bowed to the emperor like a big chubby worm.There is also a very magical sentence, "The emperor is auspicious!"
Where is this?
There are three black lines falling on the forehead of chanting blessings, and there will be retribution for teaching the son indiscriminately.She hurried out and bowed to the emperor under the porch, "Your Majesty, I am ignorant, please forgive me."
Gao Xian was amused a long time ago, "No wonder, no wonder, get up quickly. I heard that your son is a late learner and often becomes a blockbuster. When I saw him today, he really is. Hey, what is your dog doing?"
Nianfu looked up and saw three black lines coming down again.Wangcai from her family stood in the way, squatting on his hind legs, standing up on his front legs, with his paws moving forward, making a bow.
Such an action, if a little pug does it, it will feel very cute.Of course, Wangcai did it when he was a child, and it was cute.But now that such a big dog makes such a move, who cares about it except my family?
But Wangcai has a habit of doing this every Chinese New Year, like a child, even when meeting strangers.Nianfu couldn't bear to hurt the self-esteem of her dog son, so she had the cheek to speak up for him.
"It cares about His Majesty asking for a red envelope, Your Majesty, you can give it whatever you want." After saying this, Nian Fu felt embarrassing and flustered.Asking for money has brought him to the emperor, this is no ordinary money fan.
Gao Xian laughed out loud when he heard this, and really took out two red envelopes from his bosom, "I originally prepared these two for Shuzai and his unborn younger siblings, so let's reward them first now. As for your family This second child, I will take care of what I want after it is born."
Nianfu blushed, and waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no. My Shuzai doesn't care much about money. If you give him a red envelope, he will give it to others. The emperor rewards Wangcai, and the other one will be given to him in the future by Shuzai." The younger brothers and sisters are. They are still young, so it is good to be able to enjoy this kind of joy."
While talking, Du Chuan had already pushed Su Cheng out to welcome him.
As soon as Su Cheng received the news that the emperor was coming, he immediately ordered people to tidy up the open pavilion in the broken garden that was most suitable for receiving guests, and now he came out to greet him in person.
"It's rare for the emperor to come here, so why not visit our home as well, let everyone in the family have this honor, thanks to Mu Tianen."
Gao Xian chuckled, "That's exactly what I mean."
So he happily rewarded the red envelope, Wangcai took it back to the house to put it away, then shook his head and followed the emperor's team, and made a tour of the broken garden in a pretentious manner.
It was inconvenient for Nianfu to accompany him, so he went straight to Changxuan.
As for Luo Xiaoyan and Shou Shou.I also took Xiaoshuzi and went to play with the big team.
When Gao Xian walked over, Nian Fu and the old lady had already decorated the open house with colorful flowers, and put all kinds of snacks and food on the table, looking satisfied.
When Gao Xian came in, he first smiled and admired the setting of the broken garden, "...I never expected that you built the garden so well. I'm afraid you don't need to spend money, you have to earn money, right?"
Nianfu smiled. "It's not our fault, it's all done by the underlings. Your Majesty should know that when we first came to the capital, we were extremely poor. Someone tricked us into buying this house, and we didn't even have enough money to eat. It's all because of poverty." We had no choice but to toss everyone to grow vegetables and flowers. Those who raise chickens and feed ducks are all used. Later, thanks to Mr. who helped us plan, we have what we are now."
Gao Xian nodded again and again, "This is very good, much better than my fancy and useless imperial garden. Your garden is for making money, while mine is purely for burning money."
Su Cheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world. If your Majesty can't even have a garden that burns money, how will the subjects of the world live?"
Gao Xian laughed. "So, the burning of money in my garden is still a merit? Su Qing, your mouth is always irrefutable. But I see that there are quite a few of you. Although the garden is big enough, didn't you just say that it is better? Do young people get married? When they have another child in the future, how will they arrange it?"
Nianfu pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Actually, the emperor sees that there are too many people. When the new year begins, there will be fewer people. Most of the people have something to do outside. Like the leisure garden I built. I settled some people..."
Gao Xian suddenly smiled, and interjected, "The garden you and Zhenshun ran, is the business going well?"
Nianfu nodded honestly, "It's not as good as before, but it's still supportive, take your time." She changed the subject in time, "There are still some people, such as Luo Wu and the others, who are not our family's servants, except for a few young ones watching The rest are either in the pharmacy, or in the pastry shop, and some will be sent to the farm or embroidery village in the future, as they like."
Gao Xian asked again, "Then are they willing to go? Isn't it good to stay in the garden? You don't need to answer this question, let someone from them come, just Luo Wu."
The servants kindly pushed Luo Wu out, and he, who was already half-grown, blushed, stepped forward and replied in a low voice, "It's good to stay in the garden, but it's also a decent way out."
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Gao Xian said with a smile, "It's okay, you can speak truthfully."
Then Luo Wu was rude, "At home, you are not as free as you are outside, and you have money. We are doing well in the pharmacy, like their girls in Xianyuan, earning more than us. Sister Xi, do you think so?"
The servants laughed again, and pushed the blushing Laixi forward. The girl who was always eloquent outside also got stuck this time, and stammered, "Actually... I don't earn the most..."
After all, Cui Rong had seen the world, so she led her to answer, "You don't earn much, you just earn a decent dowry for yourself. Nowadays, there are still decent people outside who want to hire you as young mistresses, so you can only make do with it." .”
"Where... how can there be any young mistress?" Lai Xiyi was anxious, but he spoke smoothly, "It's just that the family is richer. Although the princess is kind enough to let me go out, to be honest, I don't want to go. You laugh again , I really won’t go.”
Gao Xian laughed when he heard that, "Then why?"
Laixi told him earnestly, "I am in Xianyuan, and I am already familiar with it. Even if the business is not good now, I can always earn one or two taels of silver every month. If the business was good in the past, four or five taels It's normal. After a year like this, plus the red envelopes that the princess gives everyone during the holidays, there will always be three or forty taels. What's so bad about this day? The family that wants to hire me now has a small business. It is estimated that the shop will only make two to three hundred taels a year, and you have to take care of such a big family. Your majesty, do you think it is better to allocate it to the family for peace of mind and security?"
Gao Xian smiled, "Well, that's the truth. But it's easy to find a priceless treasure, and it's rare to have a lover. If the person you want to marry is good, it doesn't matter how much money you have."
"That's not what you said." Laixi got excited and forgot about his dignity, so he retorted, "My mother said that no matter how good a person is, he can't afford to grind daily necessities. Once it changes, nine cows will not be able to pull back, so it is better for women to have something to settle down. Only my father wants to let me go because of his face."
That's when she said that.Suddenly found that everyone was a little strange.
Laixi was startled, and hurriedly said, "Princess, this servant didn't do it on purpose..."
Nianfu raised his head and smiled, "Your mother is right. But Laixi, you can earn money like this here, so why are you afraid of getting married? Money can never be earned, but when you meet a good person, you don't have to worry about it." Easy. Even good people will turn bad one day in the future, but after all, they have been good before. It is more memorable than never experiencing it in a lifetime."
Gao Xian changed the subject in a timely manner, "It's not easy to meet a good person, and it's not easy to meet a good cook. Cousin, my cousin is here today, can I ask you to cook for me? Don't bother too much. Keep the daily life simple. .”
Nianfu nodded, "Of course."
Leaving Su Cheng and the old lady chatting with the emperor, Nian Fu got up and went out.
In the kitchen, Yao Shiyi had already prepared, "Princess, tell me. What are you going to do?"
Nianfu looked at so many ingredients in the kitchen, all of a sudden.I felt like I didn't know what to eat.
Maybe it was touched by Laixi's words just now, or maybe it's because all the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time surged up at this moment, making people's heart full of mixed feelings for a while, and they were at a loss as to what to do.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, but everyone knew it in their hearts.
Today is Ouyang Kang's newly married day.
He and that Miss Dou, the Mu family owed a bride.The daughter of the Dou family, who has lost countless lives, is about to get married.
According to the rules of the capital.It should be the heaven and earth worship at noon, so at this moment, it should be the time for the banquet guests.Thinking back to the past, Nian Fu still remembered that she was once accompanied by a group of people in the bridal chamber, waiting for the dark and the arrival of her groom.
Strangely, the mood at that time was actually not very happy, but upset.
After being tossed about for a whole day, I was really exhausted and panicked, I just hoped that the guests would leave quickly so that they could remove the heavy phoenix crown and lie down quickly.
I just don't know how the bride is feeling now, and the groom.
……
All people know about it, and everyone doesn't talk about it.Even the emperor came to see her in person, which shows how bad this matter is.
Nianfu restrained his thoughts and forced himself to look back at the ingredients in the room.But what to do?The more anxious you are, the more directionless you seem to be.Obviously the ingredients here are enough to make a lot of dishes, but they just don't know what to make.
"emperor."
Suddenly, Yao Shiyi bowed deeply.
Gao Xian walked in, waved his hand, Yao Shiyi backed away.
The emperor looked at Nianfu with gentle eyes, like an elder brother, "If you really can't do it, don't force it, I know, you are in a bad mood."
He paused again, "Speaking of which, Daliang is sorry for you. You... blame me."
Nianfu shook his head, the long earrings stuck to his cheeks, feeling a little cold, "I don't blame the emperor. This is something that can't be helped, no one wants to."
Gao Xian looked at her for a while, "When you feel sad, just cry out, don't hold it in your heart, you've wronged yourself."
Nianfu still shook her head, but there were crystal drops of water falling down, and then, she finally opened her mouth, "I...sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't gone to Beijing. Or, what would have happened if I left earlier."
Gao Xianyouyou took her words, "That way you won't have the glory of today, but you can live a much more ordinary and happy life."
"But in that case, maybe I won't be able to find my father in this life, and I won't be able to meet many good friends...Although, although I have experienced many bad things, I am always grateful. I thought... I didn't expect God to play such a big joke on me again."
The water drops fell like broken beads, and quickly rolled down her smooth skirt, wetting two small balls of water on her high belly.
She choked up and said, "Actually, I have complained... I blamed him and the emperor. Why did I send him out? Why didn't I just issue an imperial decree and return him to me? But I thought again, so Is it interesting for someone who wants to come back? Then, I thought, who in this world can’t live without him? If he wants to leave, let him go, and I’ll find someone better.”
She sniffed, "Your Majesty, you won't laugh at me, will you?"
Gao Xian shook his head silently, Nian Fu raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and breathed out, "That's all right." She suddenly looked at Gao Xian and smiled, it was a heartfelt, joyful smile.
"Okay, let me cry, I feel much better. Your Majesty, this kitchen is dirty, you should go out first. Don't worry, I will definitely make a very special dish for you to try."
Gao Xian stared at her intently for a while.He suddenly smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."
When the emperor left, Yao Shiyi came in and asked, "Princess, what are you going to do?"
Nianfu smiled, her clear eyes showed that she had already made a decision.
"I want to be my fire tree and silver flower."
■
On the night of the bridal chamber, red candles were burning high.
But the newcomer sitting on the wedding bed didn't smile.
Dou Rongruo imagined her newly married appearance countless times.But he didn't expect this to be the case.
Bitter, but also sad, wronged and disappointed.
It's not that she can't refuse, but if she refuses, the one who will replace her here will be Wan'er, Peng Zishou's biological daughter.Sister Wan, who has been close to her since she was a child.
The adoptive father's attitude was very firm. He deliberately avoided Dou Rongruo and took another route to Beijing.In fact, there is another reason she doesn't know, which is to bring Wan'er to Beijing.
At this moment, she was standing beside her, bringing her a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup with red eyes. "Sister Ah Ruo, you haven't eaten all day. At least eat something."
This is already the third bowl of noodles brought by this girl, but Dou Rongruo really couldn't take a bite.
Wan'er lowered her head sadly, and was about to cry again, "I really don't know what father thinks, why must I marry you to that... If it was me..."
"Okay, Wan'er, I'm suddenly a little hungry." Dou Rongruo forced a smile on her face, pretending to eat noodles.
Suddenly.The door of the bridal chamber opened and the groom came in.
"Get out." This is what the groom officer said to Wan'er.
Like a bride who can't smile.There was not much joy on the groom's face either.Although he was really good-looking, Wan'er couldn't like him at all.
However, she still plucked up the courage to say to the man who was already her half-brother-in-law, "You...you must treat my sister well..."
"I said, get out!" The bridegroom officer looked at her coldly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.Suddenly, he glanced at Dou Rongruo who was biting his lip, and showed a strange smile, "Or, if you want to stay, it's not impossible. I think, since your father is willing to marry your sister to me, one more... "
"Wan'er, let's go!" Dou Rongruo stood up with a pale face, and pushed the little girl who was too shocked to move out of the door.
Wan'er could only see the door of the new house being closed by the groom's door, and then, Dou Rongruo's low-pitched cry came from inside.
She couldn't take it anymore, and cried to find her father.
"Father, don't let Sister Aruo marry that person, please. You didn't see that he went to Sister Aruo just now..."
But what answered her was Peng Zishou's heavy slap, "Marriage matters have always been decided by the pregnant parents. Your sister has no parents, so naturally it's up to me to decide. If you continue to be so lawless, I will marry you off tomorrow. Get out of here." Go back to your own house!"
Wan'er was ashamed and wronged, and ran away crying.
Peng Zishou looked at the congratulatory people sent by the imperial court around him, and smiled without changing his face, "I'm sorry, the little girl is used to being wild and doesn't know the rules. But when you marry a daughter, you should cry a few times."
"It's true, it's true." Someone laughed and made a nasty joke, "I guess the little girl was scared when she saw that the groom was too anxious?"
A large group of men, and quite a few people from the rivers and lakes, immediately pulled a few colorful jokes, which quickly made everyone forget about the little unhappiness caused by Wan'er.
Of course, there were more cautious people who quietly went to listen to the corner.
I saw that the door of the new house was indeed closed, but the red candles were shining brightly, and the woman's low, seemingly absent sobbing sound could be heard, so I couldn't help feeling relieved.And looking back at the Cao Gang brothers, they were all drunk at seven or eight times, and they fell down one after another, and they were helped back to rest.Looking at the entire garrison again, the defenses are lax, like a piece of meat on a cutting board, completely undefended.
So, someone quietly left...
■
broken garden.
The last thing Nianfu held in front of Gao Xian was a small brass hot pot shaped like a peony flower. The base was a small copper stove. Under the stove was a small brazier with two red-hot pots. Charcoal, very delicate and beautiful.
No matter how casual the household is, no one really dares to eat a hot pot with the emperor, so Nianfu specially took out the small hot pot that blacksmith Shi originally gave Xiaoshuzai as a congratulatory gift, and presented this dish to the emperor.
"My master calls this dish Huoshuyinhua. Your Majesty, try it. Is it delicious?"
"Is this a side stove? It's different from the ones I've eaten before."
Gao Xian looked at the five small compartments in the pot with great interest.Each grid is arranged in five rows, with different ingredients such as white, green, black, red, and yellow.
But when he picked up a piece of red-looking meat and put it in his mouth.However, there was a hint of bitterness in the taste, which made people frown slightly.
Nianfu smiled slightly, and asked Gao Xian to eat some other dishes, and then asked, "Your Majesty, is it delicious?"
Gao Xian frowned, somewhat difficult to answer.
Nian Fu took the soup spoon and scooped out a piece of white and tender tofu from the stamen in the middle, with soup and water. "Then ask the emperor to try this again."
Gao Xian looked at her suspiciously, but he didn't refuse because she was his cousin.However, when he scooped up a small spoonful of tofu and put it into his mouth, his expression changed drastically.
Shocked, he took another look at the tofu and took another bite.Then it wasn't until the tofu and the soup were all eaten up that he asked in surprise, "What kind of tofu is this?"
Nianfu smiled, "It's just the most common tofu at home. It's really not a rare thing. Your Majesty, is it delicious?"
Gao Xian looked at her.Nodding appreciatively, "This is the most delicious tofu I've ever eaten. It's just that I don't understand why these ingredients tasted so weird before?"
Nianfu smiled slightly, and picked a small piece from each of the five ingredients and put them together, skewered them with thin silver skewers, and sent them to the emperor, "These five colors represent the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty. Even if you eat it alone, it doesn't taste good. But the emperor tried it together?"
According to Gao Xian's words, he put the silver pick in his mouth, when the five ingredients were chewed and mixed in his mouth, it produced a wonderful taste.
Some are sweet, some are bitter, some are salty, some are sour, some are spicy, but after swallowing them in the end, there is a different aftertaste, which makes people want to try again.
Gao Xian was simply amazed, "Cousin is so thoughtful to cook such delicious dishes!"
Ke Nianfu shook his head, "If you want to thank you for this dish, you should thank the emperor. If you hadn't told me those words just now, I wouldn't be able to make this dish."
Under Gao Xian's slightly astonished gaze, Nianfu smiled softly and brightly, "Life is like these five flavors. Whether we like it or not, we have to taste all the bitterness, hotness, sourness and sweetness. In the end, let this bland taste Tofu is dyed with various flavors. But whether it is bitter or sweet depends on people’s hearts. If you feel bitter, it is bitter, and if you feel sweet, it is sweet.”
Nianfu shook his head lightly, looked at this dish, but his eyes fell on an unknown place, "Actually, why did this tofu taste good? The difference is just the choice of people."
Although her voice is soft, the artistic conception is far away.Everyone in the room looked complicated after hearing this.
YouQi Gao Xian got up suddenly, went to the window to look at the vast and silent Furong Pond in winter, and poured all his unspeakable thoughts into the lake.
Except for Xiaoshuzi, who looked at the small hot pot in front of the emperor eagerly.
This gift belonged to him, but his mother never gave it to him.It doesn't matter what the little potato is, but what's in it?It looks delicious, can you give him a taste?
Su Cheng didn't come back to his senses until his hands were bitten by soft teeth.
Looking down, the little thing in his arms was biting his tiger's mouth, looking at the small hot pot affectionately, half of his hand was bleeding from the crystal halazi.
Hmm, Xiaoshuzi is a sensible big boy, he knows that he can't just order food at the banquet, so he doesn't say anything, he just looks at it.
Su Cheng's expression remained unchanged, but he quickly withdrew his hand, wiped it under the table, and stabbed Du Chuan next to him.Du Chuan understood, and kicked Nianfu while the emperor was still awake.
When the mother turned her head, she saw her son's little eyes full of affection.Looking at Shou Ning and Luo Xiaoyan again, almost everyone has some kind of longing in their eyes.
Nianfu laughed suddenly, and simply stretched out his hand, cut up the dish one by one, put it on a skewer, scooped up a small bowl of soup, and gave a portion to everyone to taste.
It's a pity that there is only one piece of tofu, and there is no more.
However, this also made everyone extremely satisfied.
Except for Xiaoshuzi, he drooled for a long time and gave everyone a change of food, but unfortunately his teeth didn't grow well, and apart from taking a sip of soup, he couldn't chew the toothpick.I could only make a bitter face, and spit it out again.
It's just that the movement was a little louder, and finally Gao Xian turned his head in shock.
Seeing Fat Potato's wrinkled face, extremely resentful and depressed, he suddenly burst out laughing in a good mood.As if he had figured out a very important problem, his whole body was filled with a sense of relief and joy.
"No matter how good the dish is, it's useless without teeth. Cousin," Gao Xian looked at Nianfu, and said with a smile, "Your dish is called Huoshuyinhua, it's too embarrassing, how about I give you another name?"
Recite blessings and act like a good boy, "Then thank the emperor's cousin first. What's that called?"
"Eat all five flavors, and return to the original, I want to call it," the emperor paused.smiled and said——
"One product of the world."
■
After returning to the palace, Gao Xian immediately issued an imperial edict.
Seal it in a red sandalwood box, cover it with the emperor's seal, order someone to send it to Poyuan, and give it to Su Cheng, the doctor of Jinzi Guanglu, and make a statement.The mustard opened behind him.
The news was too shocking, and Gao Xian didn't hide it from anyone.
Therefore, Queen Wang knew immediately.
Your Majesty, is this a reserve?
Anyone would think so when they are so sensitive.
But if, it was her son who stood up.Why did the emperor not put the imperial decree in the palace, but act like this?
Queen Wang gritted her teeth.The final decision was made, "Lu Ying, make a bowl of soup, and I will deliver it to the emperor himself. The emperor has to watch the night today, but it's hard work."
……
In the night, outside the gate of Cao Gang's garrison, there are black shadows about to move.
When you see the direction of the palace.A firework was lit, and Chai Rong gave an order in the dark.
……
"kill!"
After Ji Longfeng received supplies from Chai Rong.Lead the remnants of the troops to attack the Royal Forest Army on the outskirts of the capital.
……
On the grassland thousands of miles away from Beijing, Zhuoge said to Gong Sunhong, "After tonight, the whole grassland will be mine! And in another ten years, the whole world will be mine!"
The lights illuminate his young face, full of ambition and vigor.
Outside the tent, the [-] troops had assembled neatly, ready to go.
……
Xiaoshuzi in the broken garden couldn't stay up all night, and after the fireworks were set off, he fell asleep in his master's arms.The red envelope just received in the little hand slipped down and was about to fall.
Wangcai looked up, took the red envelope away quickly and gently, and put it in its nest, forming a happy circle, and soon began to snore.
……
Taishi ten years, New Year's Eve.
Destined to remain in the memory of many people.
But for Xiaoshuzi, life is no different from usual.
He went to bed, woke up, nursed, played, and took baths as usual.
Of course, life is still a little different.
Even during the few days of Chinese New Year, the family never took him out.
But it doesn't matter if you stay in Poyuan, because he dug out a sled from Shigong's house.Then, Shigong helped him put on Wangcai.Then, he and brother Xiaogouzi can drive Wangcai every day on the snow in the broken garden.
Originally, the servants at home had nothing to do, and along the road built for Su Cheng, Naxue also built a small ski run for him.
But when the princess saw it later, she came out with a big belly, and instructed everyone to sweep all the snow from the garden into the Cuju field, and pile it up into a small ski field. The adults can make some simple snow plows, and follow the They played together.
Xiaoshuzi loves the excitement and the thrill of flying down from a high place, even though he fell several times because of this, he never tires of it.
What's annoying is that no matter how fun the winter time is, spring is still coming.
The snow slowly melted and the ski resort was gone.The uncles and aunts in the broken garden are also going to work.
Even though Wangcai had a good temper and changed the sled into a small cart, and pulled him around the garden to play, Xiaoshuzai still felt lonely.
Especially in the past few days, everyone said that mother was going to give birth to younger brothers and sisters, and everyone was so busy that Xiaoshuzi was even more depressed.Today, even the master who has been staring at him doesn't care much about him, Xiaoshuzai feels even more boring.
If he gave birth to younger siblings, everyone would stop playing with him, Xiao Shuzai felt that there was nothing to like about these guys called younger siblings.
Fortunately, there are still people who miss him.
The little dog brought him a big butterfly kite, "Master, let me take you to fly the kite. Grandpa bought it for me. Let's play together."
Okay, Xiaoshuzai happily followed the puppy to fly the kite.
It's just that they are too small, apart from running around with the kite by the string, they can't fly it at all.I didn't pay attention for a while, and stuck the kite on a small tree.
How to do?
Xiaoshuzi jumped and jumped vigorously, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it.The little dog can't reach it, even if it moves a stone, it still can't reach it.
"Young master, you stay here and watch, I'll call an adult."
The puppy ran away, and Xiao Shuzai still wanted to try it, unsteadily, stepping on the stone, trying to stand on tiptoe, enough, enough, suddenly, the stone under his feet shook, he yelled, The whole person fell backwards.
Just when Xiaoshuzai thought that he was going to fall and his ass would explode, and he would be beaten if he didn't turn around, there were two hands that hugged him firmly.
When he saw his face clearly, Xiao Shuzai froze.
