Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 1181 Tian Xuan's Gossip

The news that the old emperor agreed that Princess Cuiwei would marry Xiliang far away spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital early the next morning.

The common people are somewhat reluctant to marry the first princess to Xiliang. Although Cuiwei is only a princess, but because she is the eldest princess, the common people still remember that the old emperor pardoned the world when she was just born!
The common people were reluctant, but the officials in the capital were overjoyed. As soon as the Shangyuan Festival palace banquet was over, they began to think about which daughter in the family would be sent to the palace to be the dowry of Princess Cuiwei, so as to seek a future like Mr. Cheng .

When Xia Zheng told Lin Yuan about Princess Cuiwei, Lin Yuan couldn't react for a while, not because of anything else, but because this infatuated woman was really going to get married, it was really incredible.

"Forget it, since Cousin Cuiwei agreed, it must be after careful consideration, so we don't need to worry too much about her."

Xia Zheng spoke a few words of comfort, and then talked about another new thing.

During the New Year's palace banquet, the second prince Zhao Hongsheng wanted to ask His Majesty to marry him and Yao Hanyan, but because of many accidents that happened at that time, this idea was temporarily dismissed.

So Zhao Hongsheng didn't feel at ease this year at all. No, he raised this matter first when it came to the Lantern Festival palace banquet.

The old emperor was still worrying about Princess Cuiwei's matter, and he was quite relieved to hear his second son talk about his choice of concubine.

After all, no matter which father he is, as long as he sees his son finally getting married and achieving something, he will be very happy in his heart.

The old emperor was not stingy either, and gave Yao Hanyan a marriage to Zhao Hongsheng on the spot.

Now that the emperor has made his statement, the empress, the mother-in-law, naturally cannot lag behind. Dang even smiled and rewarded various gifts as congratulatory gifts, and specially asked Qin Tianjian to choose a good day to come out.

Seeing the high spirits of the emperor and empress, Zhao Hongsheng was also very happy, and Dang even made another request.

That is to ask Tang Ruyan to be his side concubine.

Hearing this, the old emperor's expression changed immediately. Although the queen also felt that it was inappropriate for Zhao Hongsheng to make two requests in one go, she still persuaded her with a smile.

"The second child has indeed grown up. It's true to say that there have always been no women in the second prince's mansion. Since he is happy today, why not follow the second child's wish and canonize the main concubine and side concubine together."

The queen said so, even if the old emperor didn't like it, he couldn't refute the queen's face, so he waved his hand casually as a consent.

Hearing Xia Zheng mention this matter, Lin Yuan couldn't hold back for a while, and burst out laughing.

"This second prince is really interesting. After finally getting His Majesty's consent to marry Yao Hanyan, and enticing Master Yao and his students, he dug his own grave and asked to marry his side concubine. Step on the face of Yao Fu?"

"He's used to doing such nonsensical things, isn't it the first time you've seen him?"

Xia Zheng curled his lips indifferently, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

Lin Yuan shook her head, she was still not very interested in the affairs of the princes, but when it came to the second prince, she was still a little worried about her sworn brother Zhao Hongde.

"Did Your Majesty say anything else?"

Seeing Lin Yuan frowned slightly, Xia Zheng raised his hand and poked the tip of her small and exquisite nose, and said with a smile, "As expected of my woman, she is really smart!"

Lin Yuan rubbed her nose and gouged him out.

Xia Zheng was not annoyed, he hugged her in his arms, put his chin into her neck, and breathed in the sweet fragrance of her body comfortably and indulgently.

"The queen mentioned something, but it is not an easy task to accept a concubine for a prince, especially a concubine, so it is not known whether the little white rabbit has a concubine or not!"

This is true, even ordinary court officials would consider each other's background when marrying a wife, let alone the concubine of a prince.

More importantly, maybe this prince and concubine might be the next queen!
Naturally, the mother of a country can't play games, so the emperor and empress didn't say anything more about the third prince.

But if they didn't say it, it didn't mean that people didn't think too much about it, but now that the second child is ready to get married, the third child will definitely not be far away. As a result, many officials in the DPRK began to look at their prostitutes again.

These things, Xia Zheng told Lin Yuan as a joke, and Lin Yuan was indeed very funny, but he was still very contemptuous of the foolish behavior of the officials in the DPRK and China. It's really shameful to share the emperor's worries, but think about these crooked ways of taking shortcuts all day long.

Princess Cuiwei's wedding date is scheduled for half a year later, on the sixth day of August, which is still far away.

But the date of getting married with Princess Hexiu is getting closer and closer. Lin Yuan doesn't feel much about getting married, but the only thing she cares about is Xiliang Prince Heliannuo.

As the number one member of the marriage mission, Heliannuo was also going back to Xiliang with the marriage team on the sixth day of February.

Lin Yuan was really reluctant to think that such a big benefactor would leave as soon as he said it!

Who would have thought that the person who had made friends with Xia Zheng several times on the battlefield turned out to be half a friend in the end, the world is really unpredictable!
Lin Yuan doesn't care about the court affairs, what she cares about now is only her own shop.

Lin Yuan had a relationship with the imperial dining room because she presented vegetables in front of the imperial court before, and after some secret operations by Xia Zheng, Liu Siliang's off-season vegetables entered the imperial dining room very smoothly.

Moreover, not only off-season vegetables, but also vegetables on weekdays can be sent in. Speaking of which, this is a long-term golden rice bowl. As long as there are no mistakes in the middle, Liu Siliang can wait forever to collect money.

As for Lin Yuan, the opening of the tofu shop was also on the agenda.

Shopkeeper Liu did things properly, and soon found a suitable house in the capital.

Moreover, there are ordinary people living all around, the living environment is good, and the people coming and going are not complicated, which is very suitable for Lin Yuan's conditions.

After finding the place, the next step is to find the right workers.

Although there were people from Xiaolinzi's tofu shop brought from Zhuma Town to the capital, Lin Yuan didn't plan to continue using them.

For one thing, these people have always been headed by Xiao Linzi, she can take him in for a while, but not forever.From the previous performance of Qiao'er and Si Nier, it can be seen that these people will never regard her as their boss.

Secondly, when these people were in the tofu workshop, they were only responsible for cleaning and grinding beans, and they did not really understand the process of making tofu, so even if they were kept, it would not be of much use. People reteach.

Just do what you say, Lin Yuan directly asked shopkeeper Liu to recruit some diligent and honest people around the new house to do things.

But for these people, Lin Yuan only asked them to do some rough work such as washing and grinding beans, and did not give them the key points of making tofu.

As for the key part, she naturally had to send someone herself.

In the backyard of Dongtian, there is a ready-made small house for making tofu. Lin Yuan picked two reliable and honest people from among the helpers to take charge of it.

Now that the tofu shop is about to start up, these two young men will have a bigger role to play, so Lin Yuan arranged the two of them to be the top leaders in the tofu shop.

Dongtian's work and helpers have been investigated by Xia Zheng. Lin Yuan is very relieved to use these two young men as stewards.

After half a month of preparation, the tofu shop was slowly built, not only tofu, but also the previous dried bean curd.

When the first batch of goods came out, Lin Yuan had already asked Xia Zheng to greet her with the imperial dining room. While delivering the food, she also sent tofu and some soy products made by the tofu workshop to the palace. It made the emperor shout happy.

Starting from the New Year's palace banquet, before the first lunar month even came out, Lin Yuan sent out-of-season vegetables and bean curd to the imperial dining room again, which made Bai Jing very angry.

Not for anything else, just because Lin Yuan's actions indirectly hindered Bai Jing's way to get rich.

The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room were all related to the outside vendors, especially those like Bai Jing who were domineering in the imperial dining room, so naturally they would not let go of the opportunity to profit from it.

But now with Lin Yuan's off-season vegetables and tofu, the vendors he promised before will naturally be affected.

They were affected, and Bai Jing couldn't help, so naturally they wouldn't ask him to do business again.

Naturally, Bai Jing's previous source of income was cut off.

If this matter had been put in the past, Bai Jing would have taken the initiative to attack Lin Yuan's dishes and tofu by finding a reason to make an unwarranted mistake and dismiss them directly.

But it can't work now, since the embarrassing incident in the cave, Bai Jing is no longer as arrogant as before in the imperial dining room.

It's not that he knows how to restrain himself, but that the people in the imperial dining room are no longer jealous of him, even Bai Jing's apprentice Liang Liqin has become a little alienated from his master.

The person behind Bai Jing is the second prince Zhao Hongsheng, and this is an undisclosed secret that everyone knows.

But I heard that after the Dongtian incident, the second prince not only failed to support him, but even scolded him, saying that he was not doing his job properly, and that he was an imperial chef but he couldn't even cook a single dish well.

This was originally a private matter of Zhao Hongsheng cursing others, but for some reason, the entire imperial dining room knew about it.

Bai Jing thought that his apprentice had betrayed him, so he cursed at him, but the rumors became more and more popular, and there was a faint tendency to lose control.

For an imperial chef, it is very dangerous to cook poorly and be entangled in rumors.

If the rumor got more serious and was stabbed to it by someone with a heart, then Bai Jing would not have a good life in the imperial dining room, and it is even unknown whether he can continue to stay in the imperial dining room.

When Cheng Haoxuan deliberately came to tell Lin Yuan about this, Lin Yuan was planning to go to Yimingxuan to talk to Mrs. Ming.

But she was a little surprised to be stopped by Cheng Haoxuan and Tian Xuan unexpectedly.

Cheng Haoxuan was only focused on telling other people's jokes, and from time to time encouraged Lin Yuan to intervene in the affairs of the imperial dining room. Lin Yuan became a little impatient, and sent him to the backyard to watch Xiaohe Gaoxuan and the others cook with an excuse.

Cheng Haoxuan naturally wished for such a good "punishment", and he ran out in no time, even forgetting that his fiancée Tian Xuan was still sitting in the room!
After sending Cheng Haoxuan away, Lin Yuan glanced at Tian Xuan with a half-smile, and said, "Okay, there's no one else, just say what you want to say!"

Hearing this, Tian Xuan giggled dryly, feeling awkward as if a child stealing sweets was caught by their parents on the spot.

"You, did you see it? Hehe."

Lin Yuan was speechless, Tian Xuan started to lose her mind as soon as she entered the door, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.And when she sent Cheng Haoxuan out, Tian Xuan's eyes were clearly filled with anticipation and relief.

Even when Lin Yuan deliberately asked Cheng Haoxuan to watch Xiaohe cook, the girl followed behind without any taste, but sat still. different.

Even a fool can see that she has something to say to Lin Yuan.

"What the hell is it that makes you willing to part with your brother Xuan? I'm really curious!"

Lin Yuan was laughing while deliberately teasing her. After seeing Tian Xuan's little face turned red, she laughed even more happily.

Tian Xuan didn't care about her intentional jokes, she lifted her skirt and sat next to Lin Yuan, lowered her voice, and asked her with a gossipy face: "Didn't you say that the pearl bracelet you won from the Xiliang prince was sold? Is it? Tell me the truth, who did you sell it to?"

Lin Yuan, who was drinking tea, was stunned for a moment. She thought that this girl was going to talk about her marriage to Cheng Haoxuan or Mrs. Cheng's affairs, but she never thought that she would ask about the string of pearls as soon as she opened her mouth.

Could it be that this girl is still thinking about that pearl?
"What's the matter? Do you still miss the pearl? Do you want to buy it back? I advise you to give up your mind. The pearl is cheap when I sell it, but it will not be so cheap when you buy it back. If you really like it, when Xia Zheng and I go to Dongling some other day, I will bring it back for you, and I promise to satisfy you."

"Oh no!"

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Tian Xuan interrupted her, and approached mysteriously: "Did you sell that string of pearls to Brother Xuan's master, Mr. Lu?"

"Yes."

Lin Yuan admitted it, and because of the relationship between Cheng Haoxuan and Tian Xuan, there was nothing wrong with letting her know about it.

It's just that she was curious how this girl knew. When she talked about this with Lu Chong, there was no one around her.

Lu Chong is not a person who flaunts casually. Could it be that the person he got the bracelet as a gift happened to be known by Tian Xuan?

A name was ready to come out in Lin Yuan's heart, but because of Tian Xuan, she didn't say it after all.

But she didn't say anything, but Tian Xuan had no scruples.

"Is it really him? That's it!"

Tian Xuan clapped her hands abruptly, her expression became a bit serious, but even though she was serious, there was still a bit of gossip between her brows.

"Do you know how I found out about this?"

Before Lin Yuan nodded or shook her head, Tian Xuan had already asked and answered: "Oh, you don't know, when my mother asked me to give Madam Cheng a gift this morning, guess what I saw at Madam Cheng's place?"

"what……"

"She is alone in the room in a daze, looking at the thing in her hand in a daze! The thing in her hand is nothing but the string of pearl bracelets! I glanced at it from a distance before, and then I heard someone else After discussing it, you will never admit your mistake!"

Sure enough!

Lin Yuan blinked, and her previous guess was confirmed. Lu Chong really gave the string of pearls to Mrs. Cheng.

She had heard from Lin Wei before that people in Jiangyan Pavilion guessed that Cheng Haoxuan's biological father was Lu Chong, but seeing Mrs. Cheng's unkindness to Lu Chong, everyone was not sure.

Is there something else in between?Besides, Lu Chong didn't even get married at such an old age. Could it be that he really has something to do with Mrs. Cheng?
And Cheng Haoxuan, why did he accept him as a disciple just by chance?What is Cheng Haoxuan's attitude towards this master?Did they talk about anything in private?

Lin Yuan's thoughts changed sharply, but Tian Xuan was still chattering nonchalantly.

"Do you know? When Madam Cheng saw that I came suddenly, she immediately put the pearl away, but I had already seen it, so I pretended to be nonchalant and asked her where she bought it. It was so beautiful. Madam did not." Said, casually said it was given by a sister, but how can she have such a good sister in the capital who can give her such a precious thing? Then I went to ask the embroiderer of Jiangyan Pavilion, guess what? It turned out that Mr. Lu I came here last night to give my wife the Lantern Festival I made by myself. Later, my wife got such a pearl bracelet. You said, this pearl was not given by him, is there someone else? It must have been given by him. !"

Ever since her marriage with Cheng Haoxuan was finalized, Tian Xuan has returned to her previous out-of-the-box temper, talking endlessly with her small mouth, which is quite different from her sister Tian Hui.

Lin Yuan interrupted her non-stop small mouth with a funny face, and asked: "Isn't Mr. Lu the master of Mr. Cheng? Besides, didn't they say before that they knew each other when they were young, and they gave a gift during the Chinese New Year." The bracelet is not an exaggeration! Why are you reacting so much? Could it be that you started to interfere in the private life of your future mother-in-law before getting married?"

"How can I have!"

Tian Xuan's face turned red, and she took a look at her: "I, I just feel excited."

excited?

This was a reason that surprised Lin Yuan.

Tian Xuan sighed and said: "Oh, don't you also know that Mrs. Cheng's health is not good? Even our marriage has to be brought forward a lot. I think that if Mrs. Cheng can marry someone she likes when she is dying It is also a very good thing to have a happy and happy time, so I am very happy after knowing Mr. Lu's heart for his wife. But, after thinking about it carefully, maybe this is the most regrettable thing!"

She bit her lip and looked up at Lin Yuan, as if wondering if she should tell her what she knew.

After a while, Tian Xuan nodded and said firmly: "Forget it, you are not an outsider anyway, so let me tell you! I once asked Brother Xuan quietly, if Mr. Lu treats him so well, could he be his biological father? But Xuan The elder brother shook his head in great disappointment, saying that the master had already told him that his father was a senior brother of Mr. Lu, and his cooking skills were also very good, but later he encountered some accidents and suddenly disappeared, even with Mrs. Cheng. His marriage had to be cancelled."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, isn't Mr. Lu Cheng Haoxuan's father?Really disappointing.

But even so, Mr. Lu must have feelings for Mrs. Cheng, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed away from marrying a wife for so many years, and even came to her to buy the string of pearls to please Mrs. Cheng.

"Xuan'er, Mrs. Cheng's health is not good. What will happen to her and Mr. Lu in the future is unknown. As a junior, it's better not to interfere."

Lin Yuan patted Tian Xuan's hand to kill her petty thoughts.

Tian Xuan was a little surprised, not only because of Lin Yuan's understanding of her own thoughts, but also because of what Lin Yuan said.

"Why? I, I'm also doing it for Mrs. Cheng's sake. Since Mr. Lu is interested in her, shouldn't we as juniors support them? Even if we don't speak out our support, we should let them know that we have no objection. That way they won't be afraid of us!"

Lin Yuan pursed her lips, happy for Tian Xuan's understanding of righteousness, but also worried about Mrs. Cheng and Mr. Lu.

"Silly girl, you just said that Mrs. Cheng is not in good health. I'm afraid it won't be long. Do you really have the heart to see Mr. Lu live alone in the future? It's sincere, but it's unfair to him after all. I think Madam thinks the same way, so she didn't promise Mr. Lu!"

If you agreed, would you still wait until now?I'm afraid the two have been together for a long time.

"But……"

Tian Xuan wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, she gave up: "You are right, we should not interfere in the affairs between the two of them, after all, there is brother Xuan's biological father in the middle? They It just said that he disappeared, but he didn't say where he went? What if he came back someday? Madam has been single for so many years, maybe she also has this idea!"

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, maybe, but that man has been away for 20 years, if he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago.I haven't seen any news, I'm afraid, it really disappeared...
