"I'm dying, I'm dying!"
Princess Huyang sat slumped on the soft bed.
The buns in this other hospital are different from the common ones.
The backs are reclined and the cushions are soft. As soon as he sat down, the whole person nestled smoothly on the soft bed, so comfortable that he didn't want to move.
Naturally, she didn't know that this was a new type of soft sofa that Gu Jiu ordered the carpenter to build according to the sofas of later generations.
The perfect combination of human mechanics and the top carpenter's embroiderer, this softness is naturally extraordinary.
On the low table at hand, there is a dinner plate with a CD.
Princess Huyang didn't talk about image at all, and rubbed her abdomen.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die. After this meal, I'm afraid I'll gain three catties of meat."
Huang Qubing laughed out loud.
"Aunt Huyang, are you still eating tonight? I heard that there will be longan and red date soup and lychee later."
"Lychees? Are there really lychees?"
Huang Qubing nodded, "Of course there are."
"Eat, of course I have to eat. My eldest nephew and daughter-in-law spent so much money on this tea party, if I don't finish it for her, I will be sorry for her hard work."
Huang Qubing was speechless.
Obviously he wanted to eat it, but he wanted to find a high-sounding reason.
Huang Qubing reminded her, "Don't patronize eating, remember tonight's task."
"The task is yours. I am only in charge of town."
Longan red date soup is served. Princess Huyang immediately rushed up and asked for a bowl.
Ah, that's the smell. It's refreshing.
Some wealthy businessmen who had participated in the last bidding meeting all had a full stomach.
A few people gathered together, eating cream cakes, and muttering, "It's a pity that the last bidding meeting didn't have such treatment. If it was like this time last time, I could at least vote for fifty thousand taels more, no, ten Ten thousand taels."
"This time Madam is ordered to build roads, do you vote?"
"Vote, of course. Just for this dinner, I want to vote."
"That's right. Mrs. Zhao spent a lot of money on this dinner. So many ingredients were shipped from the south, and I don't know how much it cost just to keep them fresh. Mrs. Zhao is full of sincerity, how can we be stingy."
"That's true. But money is tight recently, and I can only vote for 20,000 taels."
"Twenty thousand taels is not a lot. I plan to vote for twenty-five thousand taels."
"I'm going to vote for..."
A few wealthy merchants got together, tens of thousands of this one, tens of thousands of that one, and in the blink of an eye they made up 200,000 yuan.
After eating and drinking enough, I took out the bidding form contained in the invitation letter, filled in the number, and handed it to the bidding box.
A group of children from aristocratic families who came all the way from Luozhou gathered together. Gu Rui greeted them.
As the eldest grandson of the Hou family, Gu Rui has a distinguished status.
He came forward to greet the children of these aristocratic families, which was considered to be enough face.
Everyone was full and satisfied.
Even though they are descendants of aristocratic families, they have not only never eaten many delicacies tonight, but they have never even heard of them in the past.
Mrs. Zhao can bring so many delicacies from the south, and the ingredients can still be kept fresh, which shows that she is strong and full of sincerity.
Gu Rui chatted with them, not mentioning the road construction, just talking about romance, which suits the appetite of these aristocratic children.
Talking about business is vulgar.
Business has its own stewards to worry about.
These stewards enjoyed a top-notch buffet meal with their masters today.
After eating, start weighing how much money to invest.
Before coming, the owner gave the bottom line.
But how much to invest depends on the specific situation.
Look at how classy this tea party is.
If these ingredients are placed in the capital, they are afraid that they will be robbed crazy.
"Madam Zhao should be able to repair the concrete road from the capital to Luozhou."
"The group of wealthy businessmen over there, have you seen it? It is said that they have invested hundreds of thousands in partnership."
"A group of nouveau riche, there are them everywhere."
"Who told those people to be rich?"
"This part of Luozhou must not fall into the hands of outsiders, otherwise we Luozhou people will have no face at all."
"That makes sense."
The stewards made up their minds and asked for instructions secretly before filling out the tender form.
The group of people in the capital was entertained by Huang Qubing.
Along the way, the prominent families of more than a dozen counties, the brothers of the Gu family, got married.
The princess of Huyang is just a god of calming the sea, to prevent people from making troubles without opening their eyes.
The whole tea party went smoothly.
People who eat and drink enough are always easy to talk to. It is not too difficult to persuade them to invest in road construction.
Only Zhu's father and son were extremely embarrassed.
"Father, we don't have a tender, what should we do?"
Yes, what should I do
Before Chengen Bozhu resigned, he thought that all he had to do was pay. Unexpectedly, people will not charge money tonight, only tender documents.
As for the money, someone will collect it in the next few days.
The entire buffet hall is divided into many private small areas with various green plants, which can not only see the whole venue, but also block the sight of others from prying eyes.
Many people present were curious about this arrangement.
Some people have already made up their minds. After returning home, they will change their flower halls, restaurants and teahouses into this decoration style.
Tasteful and elegant.
The predicament of Zhu's father and son was blocked by green plants, and no one saw it.
But this made the father and son even more anxious.
Gu Jiu's new tricks are one after another.
The father and son's impression of Gu Jiu is still the same as last year, but unexpectedly, he has been upgraded long ago, and no longer plays the same way as last year.
"What should we do?" Master Zhu asked.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci frowned and thought deeply, "I heard that Princess Huyang is here tonight?"
"Exactly."
"Go and see where Princess Huyang sits?"
"Father wants to talk to Huyang? Can this work?"
"Who else can I look for if I don't look for her? Is it possible to look for Huang Qubing, that hairless kid? Or the brothers from the Gu family?"
Mr. Zhu had no choice but to follow his father's order and go to Huyang Princess.
After confirming the location of Huyang Princess, Cheng Enbo Zhuci stood up, straightened his collar, made sure that there was no blemish on his body, and then walked slowly towards the place where Huyang was sitting.
The master of Huyang County is full of food, and this will be digested.
She was quite surprised to see Zhu's father and son.
"Oh, who am I? Isn't this Cheng Enbo? What kind of wind blows you here, you are a rare visitor!"
"The princess is polite. What kind of rare visitor is this old man? This old man is just a useless old man."
"Haha, you are always good at joking. To be honest, you always appear here today, does my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law know?"
Gu Jiu, the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law that Huyang talked about, was struggling to bring up the child, and her arms were almost sore.
Brother Yu's illness is very clingy.
He doesn't even want Nanny Fang, he just wants Gu Jiu to hold her.
While Brother Yu was asleep, Gu Jiu wanted to put him on the bed. As a result, I just put it on the bed and woke up within two minutes.
There was no other way, Gu Jiu could only continue to hug and coax the child.
Whoever makes a child sick has a privilege.
After taking care of the child for a whole day, Gu Jiu was already exhausted. I can't do without a child.
There was no other way, Gu Jiu could only take the child to take a bath, and took the child to the bed.
She was lying on the bed, and the child was lying on her body. After a while, both mother and child fell asleep together.
As for how the self-service tea party was going, she didn't care about it at all.
She has done all the hard work, whether the result is good or bad, let's talk about it tomorrow.
The topic returns to the tea party.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci blushed, it was hard to avoid embarrassment to be ridiculed face to face.
He doesn't have the thick skin of Emperor Wende.
For Emperor Wende, this level of sarcasm is nothing.
Even if someone pointed at Emperor Wende and scolded him for being shameless, Emperor Wende would not change his face and just wanted to achieve his goal.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci considered it for a while, and said: "Our Zhu family has already paid the price for what happened last time."
Princess Huyang laughed, "You deserve it."
Master Zhu's face turned green with anger, but he is not qualified to speak here.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci continued: "Our Zhu family has learned a lesson. This time, the old man put up a face and sincerely wanted to ask Madam Zhao for forgiveness."
"Damn! I sincerely beg for forgiveness. It is clear that the Zhu family wants to take a piece of the pie when they see that the cement road is profitable. If you want to make money, just say it. There is nothing shameful. Is it interesting to find such a high-sounding reason? Ben The palace looks down on you like this."
Princess Huyang directly tore off Cheng Enbo's face and threw it on the ground, not forgetting to step on it hard.
This move is not cruel.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci, the greatest humiliation he has suffered in his life all came from Princess Huyang.
This woman simply took pleasure in humiliating the Zhu family.
It happened that their Zhu family had something to ask for, so Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci had to hold back his anger, and had to suppress his son not to speak.
Today's situation, compared with last year, has already changed things and people, and today is not what it used to be.
With the accession of Emperor Wende to the throne, the advantages that the Zhu family once had had disappeared.
Nowadays, no one will give him three points of face just because he is the late emperor's little uncle.
On the contrary, because the Zhu family once had an argument with Gu Jiu, many people sneaked into the situation and came out from time to time to disgust the Zhu family.
The Zhu family used to take the initiative to keep a low profile.
Now, they have to keep a low profile.
If you want to regroup, there is nothing faster and more effective than joining Gu Jiu's cement road project.
Therefore, Chengen Bozhu refrained from this tone.
He said: "The princess is right, the old man really wants to make money. The whole family is screaming, waiting for the old man to get the money to go home and buy rice for the pot. The old man gave up his face and begged for a bite of food."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
The master of Huyang County stared at each other in surprise, "You are an uncle, you really don't even want face for a bite of food?"
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci sighed, and said with a look of hard life: "How much is face worth. Life is alive, and you always have to eat."
The owner of Huyang County sneered again and again, "Uncle, don't say it's so pitiful, it seems like I bullied you. In your Zhu family, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how can you be short of those few meals.
It's road construction. I just want to see the money invested in it, and I want to hear the response. I don't know how many years it will take. If you want me to tell you, you old man, don't worry about building roads. With that money, what kind of business is not good? Am I right. "
Ignorant fool!
Once the road from Beijing to Luozhou is built into concrete, it will be like a layer of gold.
Cheng Enbo and Zhu Ci were very angry, why did Gu Jiu find such a stupid woman to support the scene. I can't even see the value of concrete roads, so what qualifications do I have to ramble here.
Talking to such a stupid woman, Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci felt that he had suffered ten thousand points of damage.
He suppressed his emotions, and said as patiently as possible: "The old man wants to invest money outside the south gate, but Mrs. Nai Hezhao definitely disagrees. There is no way, the old man can only rely on this cement road.
Please ask the princess to be considerate and bring a message to Mrs. Zhao. Whether it is asking for money or food, our Zhu family will definitely do our best to support it. At the same time, our Zhu family will never intervene in the matter of road construction, and everything will be arranged by Mrs. Zhao. "
Princess Huyang smacked her mouth, the Zhu family is quite sincere.
She humiliated the other party like that, but the other party actually endured it.
Incredible.
Princess Huyang laughed, "Okay. It's easy to bring a message. Gai'er, Ben Gong, will definitely bring the message when he sees his eldest nephew and daughter-in-law."
"Thank you, Princess Princess."
Cheng En Bo Zhu expressed his gratitude.
After working hard for so long, it was finally not in vain.
Princess Huyang waved his hand, "Okay, okay. If you are old enough, I won't be honored by you. It's getting late, old man, go back quickly."
"What the princess said is that the old man will go back now."
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci left the other courtyard with his eldest son.
Father and son ride in a carriage.
Master Zhu asked: "Father, will Huyang bring the words to Mrs. Zhao?"
"She will."
"Will Mrs. Zhao agree to let us invest money?"
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci was also not sure about this, he said: "Do your best to obey the destiny. If Mrs. Chao still remembers what happened last year, our Zhu family can only find another way."
"any solution?"
Cheng En Bo Zhuci sighed, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I am not willing to go that way."
From the beginning to the end, Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci did not tell the elder son what the other method was.
Only Gu Jiu and Cheng Enbo and Zhu Ci know the value of the cement road from the capital to Luozhou in the entire capital.
If Gu Jiu can't get through.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci thought, he had no choice but to follow the path of Emperor Wende.
It's just that this road is a hundred times more difficult than Gu Jiu's road.
Following Gu Jiu's path, the Zhu family can talk about business and maintain political innocence. It will not be involved in the prince's struggle.
To follow the path of Emperor Wende, someone needs to be introduced.
In this way, the Zhu family will no longer be innocent.
If they worked for Emperor Wende, they would inevitably be involved with the government. The future fate of the Zhu family is really unpredictable. Either they have been rich for several generations, or they have been ruined once, and their families were ransacked and their families wiped out.
Difficult!
Regardless of how difficult it was for the Zhu family, the tea party tonight left a deep impression on everyone who was invited to attend, and the money was readily available.
The goal of the tea party was successfully completed, and it was overfulfilled.
It's just that I didn't expect that after one night, the whole capital was talking about the tea party.
As for the bidding conference, it was completely ignored.
Everyone was talking about the novelty of the tea party, the rare ingredients and various delicacies at the tea party...
It is indeed a big foodie country.
Speaking of novel ingredients, novel ways of eating, and novel food, everyone is full of curiosity and enthusiasm.
Even the big bosses in the court went home, called the younger generation who attended the tea party, and called it to inspect yesterday's performance. In fact, he was asking what did you eat at the tea party last night
I rely on!
In a tea party, there were dozens of foods that had never been heard of before, and it was confirmed that they were all delicacies that appeared in the capital for the first time. The bosses suddenly became uneasy.
"Isn't it just a bidding meeting, and there are so many tricks out there."
But the entertainers are all unimportant children in the family.
Lost, lost!
It's a big loss!
The bosses are heartbroken.
They also want to eat!
They want to eat lychee, longan, cream, lobster...
The bosses are greedy, but they can't rush to Prince Ning's mansion and ask Gu Jiu to hold another tea party.
He could only encourage Emperor Wende secretly, look, the weather is so hot, do you want to avoid the heat
Do you want to hold a tea party in the palace too!
The buffet is very suitable!
The trend of discussing gourmet food was blown into the palace smoothly.
Gu Jiu watched the palace send people to inquire about the tea party, feeling a little proud, but also a little tired.
Isn't it just a buffet, in modern society, who hasn't eaten a few buffets.
There were still some fresh fruits and ingredients left in the freezer, and they were packed and sent to the palace. Even the cook is prepared.
There is also butter, let the cook directly teach the method of extracting butter to the imperial chef in the palace, and ask the imperial chef to toss it by himself.
The reason why Gu Jiu is so straightforward is because she doesn't want to be the foodie manager.
I don't want to be called to the palace twice in three days because of a little food.
I don't even want to be in trouble because of something wrong with the things in my mouth. At that time, she really couldn't wash herself off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Compared to the safety of the whole family, a few cooking recipes are really nothing.
She has developed a lot of real estate and has a golden concrete road in her hands. It is not uncommon for her to make money by eating.
Food is the most afraid of problems, and the most likely to go wrong.
She wished she could get rid of all ties with the food in the palace, so how could she take the initiative to join her.
