Of course, these coffees are definitely not prepared for the Supreme Emperor alone, so Xiaocao thoughtfully put some milk and sugar in the tray. If anyone finds it bitter, they can freely adjust their favorite flavors.
The Supreme Emperor drank the mellow coffee, ate a few pieces of sweet but not greasy Western-style pastries, and nodded frequently in satisfaction. Even the pain of months of hard work was instantly dispelled by the delicious food. Except for the emperor who added more milk and sugar and drank it with relish, the others were not used to this bitter taste.
On the contrary, Dean Yuan tasted the benefits of coffee. There is still half a year to go before Qiu Wei, students forget to sleep and eat, and sometimes their energy cannot keep up with their studies. If there is such a refreshing thing, it may be of great help to the students. He secretly wrote it down, and prepared to "learn from the scriptures" from the little girl before leaving.
"Ahem! Today's program is about the same, it's getting late..." The Supreme Emperor drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.
The Yu family and Dean Yuan, who was the matchmaker for the woman, thought he was about to say goodbye, and hurriedly said, "Lunch is ready, let's go after eating!"
The Supreme Emperor nodded his head as a matter of course, and said: "That's exactly what I meant. It's getting late, and it's time for dinner. I heard that when the second family entertained guests, the little girl tossed out many novel dishes. I don't know what's going on today. For lunch, is there anything that suits my taste?"
Prince Jing looked annoyed, why did he agree to let the old man who is not in tune be the middle matchmaker? How can you beg for lunch when you go to a woman's door for the first time to ask for a birth date
"I don't know if there is a 'Buddha jumping over the wall' today? Made by the imperial dining room, I always feel that something is missing. The taste is not as authentic as that made by a grass girl." The emperor also agreed with his face, and did not intend to move his buttocks on the chair at all. .
Prince Jing sighed a long time in his heart: It seems that today is destined to be ashamed and thrown home, if there are too many lice, don't bite, just let it go! He didn't mention anything about leaving.
"Yes, yes, yes! Cao'er heard that today, the Supreme Emperor, you came to the door in person, prepared the ingredients early, and started to work early in the morning. Not only the 'Buddha Jumps the Wall', but also your favorite stewed pig's head and red oil shredded ears , Zhu Gongzui... all cooked by that girl Cao'er herself!" Seeing that the Taishang Emperor and the Emperor are quite approachable, Yu Hai gradually relaxed and spoke with a bit of confidence.
The Supreme Emperor laughed and said: "I didn't hurt that girl for nothing. I still remember my favorite food. However, my teeth have become loose in the past two years. If my ears are silky, I think it will be easier for you brats."
As one of the "brats", King Jing touched his nose: he is almost fifty, and he is still classified as a brat, as if he was a boy again, being chased by his father with a broom time.
Dean Yuan laughed and said, "You are already seventy years old, and your teeth have just loosened, so you are satisfied? However, Xiaocao said that she wants to open a herbal diet shop, and ask her if she has any medicinal diet recipes to fix teeth. If there is no If you lose your teeth, you won’t be able to taste anything, and you won’t be able to taste a lot of delicacies.”
"Old Yuan, you are right, nothing tastes good without teeth! That girl Xiaocao has a lot of ideas, so she must have a way. It's a pity that medical skills are too backward now. If I can grow teeth, I don't have to worry about it." Taishang Huang missed his previous life dentist.
"Growing teeth? I've only heard of planting flowers, grass, and crops, but I've never heard of teeth growing. You're too whimsical, aren't you?" Yuan Sinian is about the same age as the Supreme Emperor. I have figured it out, so I don't have much worry about speaking on weekdays.
"I have no common topic with you, an ancient person. There is a deep gap between us. Go back and talk to that girl Xiaocao!" What are you doing.
Knowing so many medicinal recipes, is it possible that he was born in a family of Chinese medicine, or obtained a license as a nutritionist? There are so many cooking skills, maybe a chef? However, the little girl is quite proficient in farming... It's really hard to guess what she does. However, he is not obsessed with it, as long as he can eat the delicacies from his previous life, he will be satisfied.
Naturally, the lunch at Yu's house was a joy for both the host and the guests. The Taishanghuang drank a lot of spirits produced by Yuji Winery, and even played wine punches with the emperor's grandson, completely forgetting the purpose of visiting today. Prince Jing watched from the sidelines, feeling anxious—I don't know if it's too late to change the matchmaker now
Not long after accepting the ceremony, the matchmaker will come to the door again to ask the woman's name and birth date, so that the man can make a divination. This is the second ritual of the "six rituals" - asking for names. You must also bring a gift when you ask your name, usually with a wild goose gift. Prince Jing was worried, so he came again, praying that his father and the emperor would not be ashamed and thrown home like last time.
Fortunately, Dean Yuan is more competent than the other two matchmakers, and he still remembers his duties. He made a fuss about the two sides exchanging birth dates. Some people take the woman's birthday horoscope, take it back and put it under the incense burner in the Buddhist hall at home. If the home is safe for three days, it means that the two can be married. If there is any bad omen, the woman's The birthday horoscope is likely to be returned.
However, Zhu Junyang had long been familiar with the little girl's birthday horoscope than his own, and Prince Jing's mansion had also invited the abbot of the Huguo Temple to help them combine the horoscope. The hexagram shows that the little girl has all five blessings and belongs to the Wangfuwang family. Today's birthday horoscope, and Najib's ceremony later, are just going through the motions.
Under Su Ran's reminder, the emperor sent the post to the woman's matchmaker. The so-called post is to use red paper to write the names and birthdays of both men and women side by side on it. The Yu family agreed to the marriage by accepting the post.
The two children are happy with each other, and both families are happy to see what happens. Of course, Yu Hai was still a little uneasy, the threshold of Prince Jing's Mansion was too high, if their daughter was wronged in the future, they would be powerless to support her.
With the current prestige and status of the Yu family in Tanggu, no matter which family the daughter marries into, they can proudly become her strong backing as her natal family. But in the capital, throwing a stick on the street can hit two relatives of the emperor, and the Yu family is far from enough.
In the eyes of others, when a girl from the Yu family married into Prince Jing's mansion, it was a proper high marriage, and she had burned high incense in her previous life. Yu Hai could only silently pray that King Yang would be consistent and give his little daughter the happiness she wanted.
Because Xiaocao was still young, Zhu Junyang insisted on waiting for the little girl to marry someone after she was eighteen years old, so the "six ceremonies" were only carried out to Najib, and the remaining three rites were carried out one by one after two years .
The first three ceremonies, in order to express the satisfaction and solemn attitude of Prince Jing's mansion to the woman, lasted for more than two months. Everyone in the capital knows that Yang Junwang is already a famous man with a master.
At this time, news of war came from the northwest frontier. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when the Supreme Emperor was keen on the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, the Northwest and Northern Ministries all stayed honestly. After Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, he changed his tough external measures, recuperated, and developed people's livelihood. The tribes of Turpan in the northwest and Qinghai and Mongolia quietly developed and expanded, often harassing the frontiers of Ming Dynasty.
After the old General Zhao and his son guarded the northwest, they won several victories in a row, each department suffered losses, and they were honest for a few years. Now they finally couldn't hold back and wanted to take a bite out of Daming. Originally, with the military skills and combat experience of the two generals of the Zhao family, the various ministries in the Northwest were nothing more than clowns.
But I don't know when, the various ministries in the Northwest actually planted a nail in my Northwest Army of the Ming Dynasty, and this nail was hidden from everyone, and became the right-hand man of the deputy general. Under the signal of the old master, this nail poisoned the senior generals of the Northwest Army of the Ming Dynasty without anyone knowing it. Although it was not a deadly poison, it also dragged down the bodies of Zhao and his son.
The tribes of Turpan and Mongolia seized the opportunity to attack from left to right, and defeated the leaderless Northwest Army. In just over a month, the Acropolis of Hami was breached by Turpan, and the Northwest Army had to move inward. The various ministries in Turpan pursued the victory, and Ming lost several acropolises. When the emperor received the urgent military situation at eight hundred miles, the Ming army had retreated to Jiayuguan.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has never suffered such a big loss in frontier wars. The emperor was furious, and immediately appointed the king of Yangjun as the general who conquered the west, leading the Xishan camp and the Yulin army with 100,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce the northwest army.
As the saying goes: Soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass. If it were five years ago, the emperor would not dare to make such a big show. Because of the existence of Yu Xiaocao, in recent years, the food production has been high, the people are abundant, and the treasury is full. Even if the war lasts for three to five years, it will not hurt the bones.
The matter of preparing food and grass was handed over to Liu Shangshu and Yu Xiaocao of the household department. The northern seed base has hoarded a large amount of food, and the food and grass for the 100,000 army is naturally a piece of cake. The officials who escorted the grain and grass designated Zhongqinbo's house town.
The Fang family is related by marriage to the leader of the Zhengxi Army, and is a master-student relationship with General Zhao of the Northwest Army. In this way, there will be no vicious incidents of deliberately delaying food and grass.
When Xiaocao learned that Grandpa Zhao and Uncle Zhao were poisoned, he stayed up all night and rushed to make a few bottles of detoxification pills with Lingshi liquid. In addition, fearing that her fiancé would be injured, she personally made an elixir for internal and external injuries.
Xiaobutianshi taught Yu Xiaocao some simple medicine refining techniques he knew in another world. Although mortal medicinal materials, ordinary medicine stoves and mortal fires are used, the potency of the refined pills is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary pills, and with the blessing of spirit stone liquid, the effect is naturally indescribable Metaphor.
For example, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as it is not fatal in one blow, if you use the elixir to treat the injury, immediately stop the bleeding and regenerate the muscles, and you will be alive and kicking after two days. It is no exaggeration to say that the elixir for internal injuries can bring the dead back to life. As long as you have a breath, you can save your life by taking the elixir.
