Chapter 110 Flattery
Qin Zhe served as the envoy of the three armies of Beiting Duhufu, and Beiting is a foreign country attached to David, with administrative autonomy. The court has always wanted to take back the military and political power of Beiting Duhufu, even though it has never been stated explicitly, Those who know a little about the court know it well.Qin Zhao, as Qin Zhe's biological younger sister, is the princess of the palace, and it is one thing to meet the eldest son of the Geshu clan by chance on the street. It is a fatal word that the prince often comes and goes.

Ge Shu Minglang is in the capital, who doesn't know that he is just the court's proton, as the eldest son of Beiting Duhufu, he is the proton in Beijing, how can he have a close friendship with the palace?
Even Luo Jinghua wanted to cover Luo Jingyun's mouth, for fear that she would say something outrageous again.

Luo Jingchen's face darkened, and he said, "Second brother, go and pay for the jewelry that Jing Yun chose, let's go now."

Knowing that Luo Jingchen was really angry, Luo Jingyun pursed his lips, looked upstairs and wanted to say something, but was glared at by Luo Jinghua, and then he said very unwillingly: "I just came here and I have to leave? Forget it, Ah Zhao Didn't you have an appointment with Brother Geshu tomorrow? We'll just come out together at that time."

Coauthoring an appointment with someone else, she plans to go with an irrelevant one?Luo Jingchen heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, so he left the shop with a sullen face, got into the carriage and said, "Jing Yun, you are my sister, as a sister, I must remind you that in the future, whenever you speak, you should think it through your head first, don't worry about it." When the time comes, something will happen, and I don’t even know it.”

"What can I mess with? The second sister is really inexplicable." Luo Jingyun said aggrievedly.

Luo Jingchen had a very headache.Ordinarily, Yuchi was born in the Duke's Mansion, so it's fine for him to be ignorant, and the daughter he taught is also such a no-brainer.

"Forget it, you should go out less in the future."

"My sister dislikes my status as a concubine and loses her face? What did I say to make my sister unhappy? Just tell me not to go out?"

Luo Jingchen was speechless, looked at Luo Jingyun for a while, Fang sighed, turned to Qin Zhao and said, "Azhao, Ayun is not sensible, don't be so fussy with her."

Qin Zhao was thinking about brother Shu Minglang, when he saw Luo Jingchen talking to her, he smiled and said, "Miss Xie Jingchen is considerate, but it's nothing at all. Brother Shu Shizi is kind to me, although we are limited by our status, it is inconvenient to communicate too much, This kindness, Ah Zhao is doomed to have nothing to repay, but it doesn't matter if you invite Elder Brother Shu to have a meal and a cup of tea."

"Why can't you associate with Prince Geshu?" Luo Jingyun asked hurriedly after hearing this, "Second Brother Geshu... he is so kind and talented, he has the grace to save your life, and your brother is in Geshu's house Is it not human nature to have more contacts when you are in office? Why is it inconvenient to communicate due to your status? I think you are just putting on airs of the princess. Princess Jinfu in the palace is close to Prince Geshu, and I have never seen anyone say that What is the limit of status. It is really a joke for you to say this. "

Qin Zhao really wanted to open this guy's brain to see if it was filled with water.Everyone knows that the elder brother of the Qin family is just a nail inserted into the North Court by the court to take advantage of the situation. Luo Jingyun can say such a thing...

"Miss Luo San speaks seriously. Qin Zhao dare not be the so-called princess of San Niang. Qin Zhao even dare not put on airs in front of the girls of the Duke's mansion. I don't have to make Mistress Luo a joke." Qin Zhao said coldly. .

Luo Jingchen angrily asked the driver to stop the car, ignored Luo Jingyun, and only called out to Luo Jinghua who was outside the car: "Second brother, invite Luo Jingyun to the back car for me."

Although Luo Jinghua didn't know the reason, but seeing Luo Jingchen, who had always been kind to his younger siblings, turned pale, he knew that Luo Jingyun must have said something that made this sister extremely angry.Looking at Qin Zhao again, he also had a sullen face.

"Third sister, go to the car behind."

Just like that, she was kicked out of the car halfway, how could she raise her head in front of the maid.In the car at the back, there is still the maid of the palace with her.If it's just these maidservants, it's all right, if it is spread out in the future, what face does she have?This was on the street, and not in his own home. Luo Jingyun immediately acted aggrieved, choked up and said: "If Ah Yun said something wrong, Second Sister will just teach me. Can't I apologize to Second Sister? Please The second sister calms down. When I get home, I can punish Ayun no matter what."

Then he said to Qin Zhao: "Princess, please help Ayun to talk about love in front of the second sister."

She is able to bend and stretch, but why should I let her be a gunman?Qin Zhao just looked at her coldly and didn't respond to her words.

"Get out! Can't the second brother pull you? Don't you know where you are wrong? After you go back, you will give me a ten-day confinement and reflect on yourself. When you know that you have made a mistake, it is not too late to go out."

Luo Jingchen scolded.

"Then tomorrow's date with Prince Geshu..."

"That's an appointment between Azhao and Geshu Shizi, what does it have to do with you?" Luo Jingchen wanted to kick Luo Jingyun back into her mother's stomach at this moment.

Seeing that the plea was futile, Luo Jingyun also put away the grievance on his face, and said bitterly: "What qualifications do you have to restrain my feet? After I go back, I will ask my mother to judge me. Don't just think that you can bully me just because you are the daughter-in-law. I."

"Sister Jingchen is both a direct descendant and older than you. Yes, she can't bully you, but she can control you." Qin Zhao laughed.

However, Luo Jingchen didn't want to talk anymore, if he was in front of his mother, he probably couldn't bear the tears of the mother and daughter, and finally let it go, so he sneered: "I don't care about you, and mother will tolerate you. But grandpa thinks it's okay I can manage you."

Hearing Luo Jingchen mention Luo Che, Luo Jingyun silenced his voice, and followed Luo Jinghua out of the carriage, filled with resentment, and went to the carriage behind.

Because the car behind was narrow, Zisu and Jianxi were sent to the front car.

Jianxi knew the temperament of her third lady, so when she got into the carriage and saw that the faces of the two girls in the carriage were not very good, she naturally knew that the third lady Luo Jingyun must have caused trouble again.Zisu didn't understand, but she didn't dare to ask.

Because of this quarrel, several people were no longer in the mood to go shopping, so Luo Jingchen asked Luo Jinghua to tell the coachman to go back home.

Qin Zhao didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Luo family sisters, and didn't want to embarrass Mrs. Wei because of himself. After entering the door of Luo's mansion, he smiled and said goodbye to Luo Jingchen and Luo Jinghua: "We've been away for a long time, Ah Zhao will go first." Deyu Institute is going to see Grandpa Luo, and I will go to say hello to my aunt in the evening, and then I will talk to Sister Jingchen."

But it was Luo Jingyun who ignored him.

Luo Jingchen knew that she didn't want to get involved in Luo Jingyun's affairs in front of Mrs. Wei, so she agreed with a smile.He called Jianxi again: "Go and send Princess Fuling back to Deyu Academy."

Jianxi responded and led Qin Zhao and Zisu away without mentioning it.

Luo Jingchen looked at Luo Jingyun, and called Sangzhi again: "Send Sanniang back to the hospital."

"I'm going to see my mother." Luo Jingyun said uncomfortably, "I want to ask my mother to judge and see what I did wrong, so that my sister will embarrass me outside."

Hearing that she was so nice, Luo Jingchen stared at her for a while, then Fang laughed: "Okay, I don't bother to take care of your business anymore. You can just complain to your mother."

He turned to Luo Jinghua again and said, "Second brother, I don't feel like going back right now, I'll go and sit in your courtyard for a while."She didn't want to confront Luo Jingyun in front of her mother, so she didn't have to embarrass her.

Although Luo Jinghua didn't know what the three of them said in the car before, it can be seen that Luo Jingchen was so angry that he was speechless to Luo Jingyun, so he smiled and comforted: "That's right, the second sister is good at calligraphy, I also want to ask the second sister to help Let me see if my calligraphy has improved over the past few days."

Seeing the two siblings leaving hand in hand, Luo Jingyun, who was left alone, also stomped his feet, scolding Luo Jinghua in his heart, only knew how to flatter his sister-in-law, but didn't see what was good about it. What a good son.Seeing Luo Jingchen treat him well now, but it's just a matter of face, so this fool really takes it seriously.

When Qin Zhao returned to the Deyu Academy, Luo Che was lying on a chair in the porch, holding a book in his hand, and beside him was a small stove with an ironing kettle on it, and a servant was making tea by the side.It's so relaxing.

Seeing Qin Zhao, Luo Che put down the book in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you went to the street with Chen and the others? Why did you come back so early?"

"It's nothing interesting. I went to a jewelry store, and Sister Jingchen gave me a Zhibuyao. I didn't think it was interesting, so I came back."

Qin Zhao smiled, and while talking, asked Zisu to send the box containing the Sydney Bu Yao, opened it and took out the Bu Yao, because it was made of silver, it was very beautiful in the sun, Qin Zhao took the Bu Yao , and handed it to Luo Che, "Grandpa Luo, take a look, is sister Jingchen's eyesight good? This move looks pretty good to me."

Rocher glanced at it, and also praised: "Not bad."

He added: "If you like it, Grandpa Luo will ask the best jewelry shop in the city to make a few sets for you later."

Qin Zhao stepped forward with a smile, and helped Luo Che kick his legs like a dog: "That's a good thing, Ah Zhao doesn't like it, because he loves money."

But Luo Che said abruptly: "It must be that Ah Yun is ignorant and had conflicts with you, so he returned to the mansion, right?"

Qin Zhao:  …

This old handsome guy is too enchanting, he seems to have seen it.

"What did Grandpa Luo say, what kind of anger can Mrs. Luo San have with us?"

Luo Che didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "Since it's boring in the city, let's go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to live for a while tomorrow, and do it early in the morning. We, grandpa and grandson, will ride together."

Qin Zhao really wanted to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to relax. Luo Che had always lived in the Zhuangzi for a long time, so it must be a good place to come to the Zhuangzi outside the Luo family.

But she made an appointment with Ge Shu Minglang tomorrow.Besides, she couldn't leave, because the oil workshop was also busy. Once the construction of the oil workshop started, all the tools needed in the oil workshop on her side would also have to be equipped for making.Besides, Qin and Qin Feng's matter of increasing soybean oil production, she can't let it go.Still have to check it out.Besides, if you want to open a shop, you have to ask the Chen family's brother and sister.She also pointed out that the shop could be settled a few years ago, so that it can start to decorate, and when the new tea comes out next spring, it can be opened directly.

"Azhao also wants to accompany Grandpa Luo to live freely outside the village for a while, but Azhao met an old friend on the street, and made an appointment to meet and talk tomorrow, and made an appointment with cousin Bohu and cousin Jinwu of the Chen family. Well, if I want to open a shop for fun, I have to go and see if there is a suitable shop. How about going to the village with Grandpa Luo after the busy few days? Ah Zhao has also thought about it. It’s snowing and wrapped in plain silver. When the time comes, I’ll go hunting with Grandpa Luo. Game or something will be delicious. Grandpa Luo doesn’t know yet. Although Azhao’s cooking skills are not comparable to those of the royal chef in the palace, cooking The dishes that came out dare to be called delicious. If Grandpa Luo doesn't believe it, Ah Zhao will cook today, show off his skills, and let Grandpa Luo see Ah Zhao's cooking skills, okay?"

Although this handsome old man looks old, he is in good spirits. He is obviously a sign of longevity. It is estimated that he can live another 20 years without any problem. Qin Zhao also points to the handsome old man as his backer, so naturally he has to curry favor with him.

In fact, she has her own calculations in her mind.

Although Princess Jinyang is a backer, but the interests of each other are combined, there is no permanent friend or enemy in this matter.She believes that the alliance based on interests is the most unbreakable, but she also knows that this world is not the one she once lived in. People in this world have something more important than interests in their hearts.So for Princess Jinyang, she can fight for it if she can. One day when others can offer a better price, she believes that Jinyang will have another choice.

As for the old concubine, her own grandmother had fleshy palms and backs, so it was hard to say which side she would favor.What's more, there is a side-by-side palace behind them, even if the old concubine is not biased, the final choice will be in the interests of the palace, which is really unfavorable for her and Qin Zhe's situation.

In comparison, she pinned her hopes on the old couple of the Duke of Lu and the old man of the Duke of Yue.

As for Lu Guogong and his wife, although they love her very much, but Lu Guogong is very wise and foolish, and his life goes smoothly. It is said that popularity is second, and no one dares to be the first.It's not difficult for a person to be awesome, but it's so awesome that everyone praises it, even if it's a god, it's hard to do it.But the old man Lu Guogong did it.

It is precisely because Duke Lu is such a person that Qin Zhao dare not put his hopes on it.

If it was just a matter between her brother and sister and Qin Huaiyong, Duke Lu might definitely stand on their side, but if it involved the palace, Duke Lu would most likely choose to use the palace as her grandmother, the old concubine. Benefits come first.

Among these people, there is only one Grandpa Luo of the Yue Kingdom, who treats people with sincerity and trust, and he will stand by your side and protect you at all costs if he wins his eyes.Even if you are wrong, he will defend your mistakes as well.

Back then, he was born as the prince of Beiping, but he followed his grandfather and Lu Guogong to join the revolutionary cause. Is it because he disliked his own life and couldn't make it if he was full?As for saying that the common people are suffering, the common people live in the common people, what does this have to do with him as a high-ranking son of the royal family?It's just because his cousin and brother Gan needed his help, so he disregarded his background and offered to help.

If he was an ordinary person, he would probably be depressed to death.He helped those people, and gained a reputation of being vicious and vicious, with his eyes above the top.But Luo Che is truly the favored son of heaven, and he never cared about those so-called reputations.In his heart, his cousin is the most important thing, his friends are the most important thing, and doing what he thinks he should do is the most important thing. As for how others think of him, what does it matter to him?

People like Lu Guogong are considered gods, but Qin Zhao thinks that people like Grandpa Luo are heroes.Proud capital.And it is also proud of its character. In today's David Empire, from the royal family to the civil and military officials, who can dare to put on a face and say something big in front of Luo Che, the Duke of Yue?Comrade Lao Luo either pretended he didn't see it, or probably just shot him with a silver gun and told you to get out.He probably doesn't even bother to give you a look.

Qin Zhao appreciates and respects such a person, and it is also a blessing for her to be around such a person and have him protect her.

How could Roche take her big words about boasting that she was almost a god of cookery seriously? Just seeing how excited she was, he was not willing to dampen her interest, so he smiled and said, "Then I will try it too today." Taste our little Ah Zhao's cooking skills."

There is a small kitchen in the Deyu Academy, and Qin Zhao was taken there by Mu Xiang.

There are plenty of ingredients in the kitchen, Qin Zhao turned around and already had an idea in his mind.

Luo Che was different from those who came from rough backgrounds like Duke Lu.He is also tall and noble, and he will not lower his status. He is an authentic aristocrat in essence.What is important is the state of never getting tired of eating.Therefore, the taste of this meal is naturally important, but the appearance and color of the dishes are more important than the taste itself.She did it according to the high-quality goods, so she couldn't go wrong.

In this way, he can also show his hand, and by the way, let the old man feel that it is not in vain to love her granddaughter with a different surname.

To catch a man, the most important thing is to catch a man's stomach. This principle is also applicable to old men.

Qin Zhao chuckled.

Smiling, Zisu who was following her was frightened, and said worriedly: "Princess, can you really do it? Zisu can also cook a few side dishes, why don't Zisu do it?"

"Zisu, you underestimate me, your princess. Don't worry, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Your princess, I can't manage a big country, but cooking a small fish is easy. You just wait for this princess, Give you little girl a good eye-opener."

Zi Su silently slandered her, she is 16 years old, princess, you are only eleven years old, to call her a little girl, woo woo, it's too much.

Qin Zhao asked the cook to choose fine flour, eggs, white cabbage, scorpion seeds, pumpkin, lamb chops, pork chops, chicken, duck, river prawns, fish, etc., as well as various seasonings.Fortunately, there are also soybean oil and sesame oil that were sent over here, which are cheap.

To Qin Zhao's surprise, it was late autumn when the crabs were fat, and there were baskets of fat crabs delivered in the morning in the small kitchen.Handsome Luo naturally ate a lot of steamed crabs, so Qin Zhao decided to make some crab roe buns.

Looking at the ingredients, Qin Zhao decided on the menu, two clear soups, four snacks, four cold dishes, four stir-fried dishes, and four boiled dishes.

After all, the two kinds of soups are fresh, because the radish seeds are turnips, and there are shrimps, so Qin Zhao made a stewed turnip with small shrimps, and a stewed crucian carp soup.

Desserts are: Crab Dumplings, Sixi Dumplings, Goldfish Dumplings, and Emerald Siu Mai.

The four cold dishes are: Zhongbao Drunken Crab, Baked Pumpkin with Egg Yolk, Preserved Winter Melon with Plum Blossom, and Raw White Wombat Heart.

The four stir-fried dishes are simple: clove shredded pork, deep-fried prawns, garlic lamb chops, and steamed pork ribs.

The four cooking dishes are famous Huaiyang dishes: lion head, chicken in lotus leaf, hairy crab in soy sauce, and old duck soup with yam.

After setting the menu, Qin Zhao got busy.Zisu was still worried, but it can be seen that Qin Zhao was very busy, and he slowly calmed down. He just waited for the simplest preserved winter melon with plum blossoms. The color is sweet, bright and refreshing, and the shape is beautiful. I finally felt relieved, even if it wasn't delicious, just looking at this dish, I think the old man would like it too.

Zisu doesn't know how to cook, but the cook is good at cooking. She only looks at Qin Zhao's orderly work, and believes that this little princess of the palace, who is less than 12 years old, is really good at cooking. In addition, Qin Zhao didn't hide what he was doing, and while doing it, he also pointed out the cooks who helped her, and the two cooks were full of joy.

If he can really learn a few skills, he will not be in the old country's small kitchen in the future, and in this mansion, he will not be afraid of being compared to other cooks.
