Yin thought for a while, then slowly said: "If the emperor really loves His Royal Highness Prince Yirong, after so many years of experience in the imperial court, the emperor knows your mind and ability well. If you hadn't made him feel that he was plotting against the emperor, There is a danger of usurping the throne, and he will definitely not deal with you. Prince Rong has refused to make friends with party members in recent years. The civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty are either prosperous or fierce, and there are very few people who support him. I can be said to be the most powerful person in front of His Highness the Prince. When the time comes, the forces in the DPRK will inevitably need your help to check and balance. I just feel that the emperor's holy family has been growing rapidly over the years, and he wants to use me to pave the way for the future of the prince. When he succeeds and retires, he will be waiting for death. At that time. But why didn’t you think about it the other way around? Your Majesty has been reluctant to appoint a crown prince for a long time and allowed the ministers to form cliques for personal gain. What are you relying on? If your Majesty really prefers Prince Rong, then your Majesty will not be responsible for the consequences of not appointing a crown prince for a long time. The biggest source of support for the phenomenon of cliques and cliques is me. So in these years, he has not allowed you to withdraw. Those holy relatives and power are the weapons given to me by the emperor. He wants to use me alone to defeat Prince Rong. After he ascended the throne, he suppressed the opposition forces on the surface, not wanting him to be destroyed by the wind. However, he held up the Shangfang Sword that his old man prepared for Prince Rong. This sword was tempered with great difficulty. It is full of his hard work, as long as I am loyal to Prince Rong and have no disobedience, how could the Holy One be willing to break your sword so easily?"
Jin Fengji just listened with a smile at first, but the more he listened, the more serious his expression became. In the end, he simply jumped off the kang and paced back and forth on the ground. After Fu Qiuning finished speaking, his eyebrows were locked together tightly. After a while, they slowly opened again. Finally, the expression on his face relaxed, and he actually had a moving smile that he had never seen before, and it was even brighter under the light. He's so handsome.
Fu Qiuning only glanced at it a few times and then didn't dare to look again. He cursed secretly: Damn it, who said beauty is a disaster? Can blue color also enchant people's hearts? Damn, with my modern eyesight, I was almost seduced by this monster.
"Qiu Ning, you are really my lucky star." She was cursing in her heart when Jin Fengju unexpectedly rushed over and held her hand tightly, saying with emotion: "I only heard that you are a talented woman before. To tell you the truth, I think you are just that. It's just normal. Now after listening to your words, I realize how much I have underestimated you. I really can't see gold inlaid with jade."
"Master, I am just making random guesses. In fact... there are actually many things worthy of discussion. I just don't understand these political infighting, so I can't tell the reason..." Fu Qiuning hurriedly humbled himself, but Jin Feng raised his hand and said: "No. Wrong, what you said is indeed very superficial and childish. This is because you don’t understand the inner workings of official circles and political battles. It’s just that your words are like enlightenment to me. I suddenly figured out many things that I had been unable to figure out in the past. It also eliminated the deepest fear in my heart, allowing me to speak and behave more freely from now on. Qiu Ning, Qiu Ning, because of With your words, I realized that in the past, Jin Fengju really claimed to be a genius and wise man, but now I feel like I have been reborn, and perhaps I live up to the reputation of such a genius."
Enlightenment? Reborn? Is it that powerful? Fu Qiuning looked at Jin Fengju dumbfounded, thinking: Is that the case? Didn’t you just say that my words were superficial and childish? How...how can you still achieve the effect of "listening to your words is worth ten years of reading"
"Don't look at me, these things are too complicated to talk about, and I don't want to scare you. I just want to tell you that I used to be a fan of the authorities. Fortunately, you broke the situation today, so I can see more clearly and further. ." Jin Fengju saw Fu Qiuning's dazed look. Because he was in a very good mood, he couldn't help pinching her face. He smiled comfortably and said, "I'm hungry. Why did Feng'er and Jiao'er go to the kitchen for so long? Not coming back? But are they going to starve their father to death?"
Fu Qiuning saw his high-spirited look. It was obvious that the future was brighter and more beautiful. She had a lifelong dependence on her, and she felt very happy. Now that Jin Fengju had exposed this topic, she actually had no interest in it, and she didn't really have any talent for political struggle. She was just I just read more historical and conspiracy novels, so I followed Jin Fengju's words and said with a smile: "It's here today. We are about to have hot pot. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look. I think we should have enough ingredients by now." .”
"Hot pot? That's fine. I just had it at my brother-in-law's house the night before. I haven't had this in our house this winter until now." Jin Fengju said with a smile, but he saw Fu Qiuning purse his lips and smile, with something in his eyes. In other words, the other party left without waiting for him to ask.
When I came to the kitchen, I saw Jin Ming was there. This guy probably saw Jin Fengju and him talking together, and thought he had nothing to do anyway, so he ran to the kitchen to get some food. Fu Qiuning's words were well-founded. There were still cake crumbs on the guy's lips.
Seeing Fu Qiuning coming, Yu Niang and Yu Jie hurriedly stood up and said, "We're all ready, but do we have to carry it over now? I heard from Jin Ming that the master and grandma were talking about themselves, and we didn't dare to disturb them. I have no choice but to squat here and wait."
"Okay, let's take it. I said he's hungry too." Fu Qiuning said with a smile. In a short time, several people carried the shabu-shabu and plates of vegetables, vermicelli, meat slices, frozen tofu, sweet potato slices and the like and walked to the restaurant. , after the tables were set up on the kang and on the ground, Fu Qiuning went to personally invite Jin Feng to come over.
"Huh? Aren't you eating hot pot? Why isn't there sauerkraut?"
Jin Fengju walked in and saw at a glance that everything on the Kang table was green and there was no pickled cabbage. Fu was surprised again: "Aren't you willing to eat the vegetables I gave you a few days ago? Why are they still so fresh? When Qian'er ate them in Qingwan Pavilion, the vegetables were a little wilted and not as fresh as the ones you have here. .Huh? It seems like it was just picked off."
"They were just picked. This Wanfengxuan is a big place. There used to be a greenhouse that was probably used for growing flowers. I changed it into a vegetable shed and it turned out to be very useful." Fu Qiuning smiled and put Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangfeng in the room. Zangjiao carried them to the kang, and placed two more heaters beside the underground table. She said with a smile, "Zhuan'er and Luhua are still young, so don't freeze."
"This room is covered with a kang, and it's not cold at all." After Yu Niang said with a smile, when she saw Jin Fengju, she lowered her head to study the plates of vegetables and sauces, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to try it today." It’s new. To be honest, this is what grandma taught us to eat. I never thought that hot pot could be eaten like this before.”
Jin Fengju nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this hot pot seems a bit unusual to me, but I don't know how to eat it yet." As he said this, he saw the rain coming up the steps and adding charcoal to burn it, and the soup in the pot floated on it. There were some dried dates, longan meat, wolfberry and other things. These are all tonics and medicinal materials. It is really unheard of to put them in a hot pot now, and I couldn't help but be more interested.
After a while, a wisp of aroma came into my nose, and I saw that the water in the pot was already boiling. I heard Fu Qiuning say: "This is the bottom of the pot made of stock and water. Now you can add the ingredients." As he said, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao had already picked up the vegetables with chopsticks and put them in. They also taught their father in a serious manner: "Dad, put the meat in when the vegetables are cooked. Cut the meat thinly and it will be cooked as soon as the water boils." If you put it away too early, it will be old and you won’t be able to taste the freshness.”
"Do you still need to teach me? I don't know how many times your father has eaten shabu-shabu. He knows this truth better than anyone else." Fu Qiuning laughed and scolded, while giving Jin Fengju and Jin Zangfeng Jin Zangjiao a small bowl of sauce each, and said to Jin Fengju He said: "Try it, sir. The meat and vegetables are especially delicious when dipped in the sauce. We all like to eat it this way. I don't know if it suits your taste."
"The way you eat it is quite new." Jin Fengju put his nose to the sauce plate and smelled it: "It tastes a bit fragrant. What materials is it made of?" he asked Fu Qiuning.
"Why don't you try it? See if you can taste it." Fu Qiuning took out the vegetables from the hot pot and put them in the small bowls of the two children. He warned at the same time: "Don't dip too much sauce in it, it's salty." After that, he took out another chopstick of green vegetables and put it into Jinfeng's bowl.
"The color is also green, so you can live up to your meal of vegetables. What you want is the green color." Jin Fengju spread some sauce on the vegetables, chewed them carefully for a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he nodded in admiration. Said: "It's delicious. The flavor in this dish is brought out by the bottom of the pot as you said, right? The wonderful thing is that it blends with the flavor of the sauce. It's full of freshness and fragrance. It's delicious. It's really delicious." "
Fu Qiuning almost laughed out loud, thinking that in our modern times, this is commonly eaten by ordinary families, but now in ancient times, people who enter the noble family can get such praise. "While thinking about it, he put two more chopsticks of vegetables into Jinfeng's bowl, and a few pieces of meat, rolled them in the pot, and put them in his bowl. He said with a smile: "Although this thing is good, if it doesn't have jade, it won't be as good as before." My mother's knife skills are really hard to produce such thin slices of meat. Fortunately, it's winter, and it's easiest to cut the meat when it's a little frozen. If it's fresh, it can't be cut so thin and evenly. "
In fact, Yu Niang's knife skills are naturally inferior to those of modern machine-processed beef and mutton slices. However, in ancient times, the requirements could not be so high. Being able to cut such well-proportioned and fine meat slices is considered a knife skill. Come on, Fu Qiuning and Yu Jie don't have this ability.
