food color and fragrance

Chapter 301
While Sanskrit was waiting for Zhong Xingyan to return, Zhong Xinglian was talking with Zhong Xingqi in the study.

Emperor Chonghua ordered the army to set off three days later and go to Xixia to start the war. Zhong Xingyan was the chief general and Zhong Xingqi was the deputy general. The quartermaster who has been missing is still vacant.

Emperor Chonghua did not appoint, but let Zhong Xingyan take care of it, but Zhong Xingyan immediately called several veterans together after the dismissal, asked them to recommend candidates for the quartermaster, and directly stated that he did not agree to the appointment Zhong Xinglian is the quartermaster.

This matter made Zhong Xinglian very annoyed, and even left in anger, Zhong Xingyan asked Zhong Xingqi to come back first to persuade him, because this matter was a problem specially posed by the emperor for the Zhong family, so they could not let Zhong Xinglian be the quartermaster.

What's more, wouldn't it be better for Zhong Xinglian to sit in Zhong's house?
"Second brother, why are you so confused? Don't tell me why you don't understand why the emperor entrusted this matter to the fourth child?"

Zhong Xingqi showed a self-deprecating smile, "I used to think that there was something wrong with my father's appointment as a general. I didn't realize until my father passed away that the emperor didn't trust the Zhong family at all. Quartermaster, quartermaster, how important is that position? How can the emperor Maybe let the Zhong family take up that position?"

"The fourth child has nothing to do with it, so why do you keep staring at the quartermaster? What's more, if there are only women left in the family, the Zhong family is too dangerous. With you here, the fourth child and I can rest assured."

Zhong Xinglian's words made Zhong Xinglian very disdainful, "I admit that the emperor asked the fourth son to identify the candidate for the quartermaster to test him, but the fourth son refuses to choose from his family, isn't it just a guilty conscience? On the contrary, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion?"

"The fourth son no longer trusts me. What's more, I am still in the capital as a quartermaster. Your second sister-in-law is worried about family matters. Why not worry about it? Now that the fourth daughter-in-law is pregnant, he wants to take care of me." All the affairs of the Zhong family are taken back to the fourth room, this is to force me to leave, and also to force you to leave!"

It was the first time that Zhong Xinglian was so hysterical and crazy, "He wants to leave us two brothers aside, only you are still obsessed, and you are dizzy after being coaxed by him with a few words, third son, third son, have you forgotten how we were bullied by the elder sister when we were young What? How can you focus on the fourth child with all your heart, have you forgotten the days when the two of us swallowed our anger?"

"I haven't forgotten! But that was in the past. What I want is the future. I have to earn my own military merits by virtue of my skills, so that I can be open-minded!" Zhong Xinglian's words made Zhong Xinglian look up and laugh, "Don't dream Now, your own military exploits? You are just a lieutenant general."

"That's because I lost to the fourth child, and I admit it."

"How do you know he didn't use tricks?"

Zhong Xinglian's single-mindedness went to the dark, which made Zhong Xingqi a little bit unbearable, "Second brother, you should think about it carefully and stop being obsessed with obsession. Since the matter has been decided, you have to accept it."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Xingqi turned around and left the study room. As soon as he opened the door, he was surprised to see Fang Shi standing at the door.

Fang heard all the conversation between the two brothers.

When she learned that Zhong Xinglian came back in a rage, and also heard that the emperor had ordered the expedition in three days, she simply went to the study in the name of delivering tea, and wanted to ask about Zhong Xinglian's news.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she just arrived at the door, she heard Zhong Xinglian and Zhong Xingqi quarrel.

The content of the quarrel is what Fang is most concerned about...

"Second sister-in-law." Zhong Xingqi frowned, obviously he already knew that Fang had heard the conversation between the two outside the door.

Fang regained his composure, and quickly waved his hands, "It's okay, I'm here to bring you two cups of tea. The boy guarding the study was sent to do other work by me..."

Zhong Xingqi didn't say a word, and walked away from here.

The sound of Zhong Xinglian smashing in the house sounded, Fang hurriedly ran in, put the tea tray aside, and immediately stepped forward, "Second Master, we have reached our end now, why don't you bow your head to His Royal Highness Yue Wang, ah? "

"roll!"

Zhong Xinglian slapped him, "You don't need to worry about my affairs, get out!"

That slap was so ruthless that Fang was knocked down on the ground, and she still said unjustly in her heart: "You have the ability to hit me, but you won't be able to maintain your position in the Zhongfu. Now the fourth child has already forced you When you get to the edge of the cliff, even the third child doesn't stand by you, how can there be any place for you in the Zhong family? Second master, wake up, if this continues, we can't stay in the Zhong mansion anymore!"

"Enough, don't you think I don't want to? Do you think the seat is so easy to win?"

Zhong Xinglian said angrily: "Yu Wenxin dug a trap. If I jumped in, I would have been crushed by outsiders without the third and fourth children! No matter how dissatisfied I am, I am also the Zhong family, the Zhong family !"

"You don't have to look for Yu Wenxin, you can have nothing to do with Yu Wenhou's mansion, just go directly to His Royal Highness Yue Wang, go directly!"

Afraid of Zhong Xinglian's immediate rejection, Fang threw herself in front of his legs, grabbed him tightly, her eyes widened, "I can go to the mother of King Yue's side concubine, that Mrs. Lu, I can go to her!"

Just as Zhong Xinglian was about to refuse, he opened his mouth and stayed there without waiting for a single word to come out.

The two stalemate for a long while, Zhong Xinglian let out a long sigh, as if he was talking to himself and mocking himself, "Could it be, have I messed up like this? Why is it like this?"

When Zhong Xingyan came back, he felt very uneasy.

Although he expected that Emperor Chonghua would launch a surprise attack, and when everyone was full of inertia and numbness, he rang the alarm bell fiercely to make everyone tremble, but this time he really couldn't slow down.

The army started attacking in three days, isn't this nonsense?

Thinking of Huai Liu, Zhong Xingyan didn't know what would happen to this girl when she returned home. She should have known the news, so how could he persuade her?
She is a woman who has just been pregnant for less than two months. If she is too excited, it will not be good for her body.

Fuck!
Zhong Xingyan scolded angrily from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know who he was scolding. He stood at the door for a long time, and he couldn't move.

A gust of cold wind blew past, slipped in along his collar, Zhong Xingyan tightened his collar and let out a long sigh, lifted his heavy legs, and stepped into the four-bedroom compound.

"Fourth master is back!"

Lu He, who was serving food at the door, saw Zhong Xingyan, smiled and bowed, "Has the fourth master eaten? Is this servant going to the kitchen to prepare another one for you?"

"Why did the food come so late?" Zhong Xingyan's heart sank, "Did the fourth grandma just eat?"

"No, the fourth grandma is waiting for you to come back. I'm hungry again. In fact, I just used it for less than an hour." Lu He's words made Zhong Xingyan scratch his head. At this time, Caiyun also saw Zhong Xingyan come back, and immediately put down The curtain spread towards the room, "Fourth Grandma, Fourth Master is back."

"Are you back?" Fanyin sat there looking at the door, Zhong Xingyan patted his face bravely, squeezed out a smile and came into the room to look at her, his face immediately froze there.

Sanskrit was eating sullenly. Although he was looking at him, the oil on the corner of his mouth hadn't been wiped off. That foodie look was completely different from the sadness and melancholy he imagined?
Doesn't she know that she will go out in three days?

Seeing Zhong Xingyan standing there stupidly, Sanskrit waved at him, "Have you eaten yet? Father asked Liu An to bring this to him in the afternoon. He said it was a chicken raised at home. He also asked Mama Liu to stew it specially. It was delicious! "

As Sanskrit spoke, he took another bite of the meat in the bowl. Seeing that Zhong Xingyan was still motionless, he glared at him and said, "Don't you eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all."

"Eat, eat, you have to try Mama Liu's handicraft."

Zhong Xingyan hurried over to sit down, Cuiqiao brought the bowls and chopsticks, and Chuncao also brought the rice, but it was a pity that Zhong Xingyan couldn't eat in one bite, he just watched Fanyin eating deliciously by himself.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, Zhong Xingyan couldn't put down his chopsticks for a long time, and finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and said to her: "I will go to war in three days."

"Song Ancheng came back today and said that the emperor is too strange, why only give you three days, three days may not be enough to raise armaments, is it too late?" Sanskrit wiped his mouth with a handkerchief:
"I saw the third sister-in-law preparing things for the third brother today, but I didn't know what you needed, so I didn't let Mama Feng start preparing. Anyway, if you need anything, you can tell Mama Feng and follow me Said, I can't remember now, and my memory is getting worse and worse."

Zhong Xingyan stayed for a while, staring at her carefully, but saw that she was not acting at all, but eating seriously.

I don't know why, but suddenly there is a sense of emptiness in my heart, is it because she is not sad?
Shaking his head bitterly, Zhong Xingyan quickly changed his mood, "I may have to go out for the past two days and can't come back. If you feel bored by yourself, I'll take you back to your mother's house? It also saves Mama Liu from running around all day. Those who come and go, want to take care of you, and also take care of your natal wife."

"What am I going back to my mother's house for? What's more, my aunt has already ordered me to take back the power of the central government in the mansion after you leave. Even if I run away, she will probably drag me back. I am still here." Don't move around here."

Zhong Xingyan was very hurt by Fanyin's heartlessness, so he came to her side, put his arms around her waist, and said in a low voice:
"Don't listen to elder sister. If you don't want to, I'll go and tell her."

Fanyin was very disapproving, "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, and if I don't fight with my second sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law will spend all her time thinking about my vegetarian restaurant. My aunt said that it is reasonable to act first."

"I'm afraid you'll be tired." Zhong Xingyan didn't take his eyes off her face, always trying to see if she was deliberately acting indifferent.

Sanskrit shook his head quickly, "I'm really not tired. Wang Wenwu will help me with the matter of Su Zhailou. I just need to count the silver. I'm idle at home, and I also have the heart to fight."

"Why are you working hard again all of a sudden?" Zhong Xingyan pinched her face, "Aren't you lazy?"

Fanyin smiled and touched his lower abdomen, "With him, I have to fight!"
