King Rui quickly sent people to Kexianju to order a lot of dishes, among which was their signature lamb with bamboo shoots, and asked the people from Kexianju to prepare the ingredients and bring them to the kitchen of King Rui's Mansion to prepare them. This kind of thing is often done in Kexianju, and sometimes they even take some banquets.
However, because King Rui’s order needs to be prepared in advance, only one steward came to make sure today. The steward is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looks a little fat and honest. He behaved well when he was brought in. , and didn't look around, it happened that King Rui had nothing to do today, so he met the steward directly.
After the steward saluted, King Rui said, "What's wrong with tomorrow's dishes?"
"It's not a problem, it's just that the jade bamboo shoots and lamb, the prince likes lambs for several months..." The steward discussed this kind of issues with King Rui, and then wrote down King Rui's request carefully.
Anyway, King Rui had nothing to do, but he became curious about this dish, and asked a few more questions carefully. The steward looked simple and honest, but he could talk, and he talked about a dish full of fun. In the end, King Rui took it down He threw the purse at his waist to him and said, "You are rewarded."
"Thank you, my lord." The steward continued to salute King Rui generously, and retreated after King Rui waved his hand.
After returning to Kexianju, the steward opened the purse, and saw a jade pendant inside. On the jade pendant was a pearl, and underneath was a simple wish-fulfilling knot. The steward hung it on his waist casually, and then gave the purse to the After dismantling it, I saw a small note in the middle of the purse. After reading it carefully, the steward threw the purse and the note into the charcoal basin together.
In the palace, Emperor Cheng listened to Li Fu's reply and asked, "What did he reward that Guan?"
"It's a jade pendant." Li Fu described the general appearance, "The steward put it on after returning home."
Emperor Cheng asked, "Can you know what they talked about in the mansion?"
"I don't know." Li Fu lowered his head and said, "All those who can enter the main courtyard are those close to Princess Rui."
Emperor Cheng tapped the table with his fingers, and suddenly asked, "The jade shoots and lamb?"
"It's the signature dish of Kexianju. They specially raised a group of lambs outside the city. The meat is delicious, and the jade bamboo shoots are not real bamboo shoots..." Li Fu roughly said the jade bamboo shoots and lamb meat dish, "No Few people go to Kexianju just to eat this dish, but this time King Rui ordered a sheep directly, and asked them to get something to cook in the kitchen of the king's mansion."
"King Rui used to eat here too?" Emperor Cheng asked.
Li Fu said in a respectful voice, "King Rui used to visit Kexianju every ten days and half a month. Later, after King Rui didn't like to go out of the mansion, he often asked people to buy things."
Only then did Emperor Cheng nod his head, now is the time to eat mutton in winter, King Rui? Emperor Cheng looked down upon him, he was indeed a waste, but it was because of the waste that he stayed, waved his hand, and Li Fu respectfully stepped aside.
Compared with the people in the capital who can't eat, the people in the border town are much more lively. At noon, only one family eats dumplings together. It can't be as simple as at noon, but Mother Zhao has already prepared it, and here there is no need to avoid suspicion like in the capital, and the rules of men and women can't be together, but everyone sits together in a lively manner , in the open space in the middle, the cook is roasting the whole lamb. The freshly roasted lamb is charred and fragrant. Not to mention the men, even the women are happy to eat it.
Because under the roasted whole lamb, there is also a shelf or something like potatoes, sweet potatoes, biscuits, and steamed buns. The oil of the roasted whole lamb is dripped on it, and then these things are also roasted very well. fragrant.
But this time Shen Jin didn't bring Dongdong out, even Concubine Chen and Concubine Shen Hao didn't come out either. After Shen Jin simply let Dongdong show up, he sent it to Concubine Chen. Just send one to the back.
Shen Jin didn't sit next to Chu Xiuming, because a group of men were fighting for wine and meat, and Shen Jin and the other wives got together, and they inevitably drank two more glasses when they were talking happily, although it was for them All of them are fruit wines, but Shen Jin's capacity for alcohol has never been good, and he drank a little too much after a while.
When the crowd dispersed, Shen Jin was obviously a little drunk, his eyes sparkled, and his cheeks were rosy looking at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming was not drunk. Looking like a little lady, her eyes flickered, and she walked over, took her hand and said, "Let's go back to the house, I think Mother Zhao has already cooked sober soup."
"No." Shen Jin refused without hesitation, "It's very difficult to drink."
Although Chu Xiuming thought his wife was cute when she was drunk, he still felt sorry for her feeling bad the next day, so he said, "Just drink a little, okay?"
"Not good!" Shen Jin refused again, then turned her head, and found that there were no outsiders around, so she stopped going, "I want to hug!"
Chu Xiuming smiled lightly and said, "Okay." He bent down and hugged Shen Jin directly.
Shen Jin put her arms around Chu Xiuming's neck, she felt something was wrong, blinked her moist eyes, thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong, "It's not like hugging."
"My lady wants me to hug her. Didn't I pick her up?" Chu Xiuming looked down at the confused Shen Jin, and said softly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jin thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out, "Oh, there seems to be nothing wrong."
Chu Xiuming's voice was even more gentle, "Yes, there is nothing wrong."
Seeing this situation, the surrounding maids backed away a lot with winks, Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming's appearance, and said with a smile, "Husband, you are so beautiful."
"Not as good as my wife." Chu Xiuming said.
Shen Jin chuckled, and rubbed against Chu Xiuming's body. When he arrived at the door, the door had already been opened from the inside. As expected, Mammy Zhao had already cooked the hangover soup, and brought it over when she knew the banquet was over. There were Shen Jin and Chu Xiuming. When they saw the general carrying his wife in, they said, "General, the hangover soup is on the table in the inner room. The old slave will go and deliver some to the young general and the others."
"En." Chu Xiuming complied, walked directly to the inner room, and put Shen Jin on the bed.
Zhao mama closed the door from the outside. The water was already boiling in the kitchen. She ordered someone to watch to keep the water warm. When the general and his wife needed water, they could just carry it over. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Zhao mama Mammy brought hangover soup to Chu Xiuyuan, and also specially ordered the little girl to bring it to Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhao.
In the room, after Chu Xiuming put Shen Jin down, he went to bring hangover soup. He took a sip and fed it to Shen Jin. After drinking the bowl, he lay down on the bed with his face flushed. With a smile in his eyes, Chu Xiuming went to drink the rest by himself, and then pushed himself down.
Dongdong is not yet one year old, so Shen Jin has not weaned him. Although he has been fed once before the dinner, but after such a long time, he feels a little uncomfortable, pushing Chu Xiuming weakly, "Don't..."
The two of them have been separated for such a long time, and because of Dongdong and other reasons, they were not close at all yesterday. At this time, Chu Xiuming couldn't bear it, even Shen Jin thought a little bit. If Shen Jin who just married Chu Xiuming is a green fruit, now that Shen Jin has really matured after giving birth, when she twists slightly, her slender waist and plump breasts are particularly alluring People, the clothes of the two of them are very messy, and only the skirt and cloth pocket are left on Shen Jin's body, and the cloth pocket is slightly tightened...
Chu Xiuming watched the milk dripping on the red lotus cloth pocket, lowered his head and held it in his mouth through the cloth pocket, Shen Jin exclaimed, he didn't know whether he was holding Chu Xiuming or trying to push him away...
After sending Chu Xiuyuan the hangover soup, Madam Zhao went to Concubine Chen's courtyard. Dongdong had already been coaxed to sleep and was lying on Concubine Chen's bed. After all, this courtyard did not specially arrange a room for Dongdong. Concubine Chen saw that Nanny Zhao came alone, and said with a smile, "It's cold at night, so don't bother the child."
"This old slave just came to talk to Mrs. Chen." Since Concubine Chen came to the General's Mansion, the people in the General's Mansion called her Mrs. Chen. After all, it was not what Concubine Chen wanted to be called.
Chen Fangfei heard the words and said, "Well, Dongdong was a little tired from playing today, and after waiting for Jin girl and the others for a while, he fell asleep, very well-behaved."
Dongdong saw two children who were about his age for the first time today, and in his happy arms, the three of them were babbling non-stop, and the people around didn't understand, but the three little ones were happy, while Shen Hao Taking care of these three children at the side was tiring enough, Concubine Chen felt much more relaxed, she just sat by the side and watched them play together, her expression was not at ease in Prince Rui's Mansion.
Zhao Nanny smiled and replied, "Madam Chen must not be tired."
Concubine Chen shook her head, and Concubine Zhao didn't stay any longer. She came here because she was afraid that Concubine Chen would wait for Shen Jin for too long. She went to bed and slept on the outside, looked at Dongdong's sleeping posture with her limbs stretched out, tapped his nose lightly, and said, "Why is she so domineering like girl Jin when she was a child."
Even though she said so, Concubine Chen didn't mean to hold on to Dongdong. Instead, she stepped aside and tucked the quilt. In fact, in the final analysis, the status of several children in Concubine Chen's heart is still different. Shen Qing is still Baozhu, she has never slept with her arms around her, and Dongdong, Concubine Chen is absolutely reluctant to let him leave her eyes.
However, Concubine Chen always felt that Dongdong didn't look like her daughter when she was a child. She had never seen what Chu Xiuming looked like when she was a child, but from now on, she didn't look like Chu Xiuming. Could it be that she looked more like Chu Xiuming's parents? Concubine Chen thought about it for a while, and then stopped thinking about it. Anyway, this is her precious grandson. I don't know who her daughter's next child will look like. In fact, no matter if it is a boy or a girl, they will all resemble Chu. Xiu Ming is also good, my daughter... always feels that she is weak and can be bullied.
