Chapter 59: Venting (2)

"Have a birthday for the old man? Is this errand difficult to handle?"

In the guard duty room at the southwest corner of the Forbidden City, Li Jinglong sat alone in the room, frowned and thoughtful, and the tourmaline rosary in his hand was spinning very fast.

"The old man loves to be lively, but he can't spend more money. If he spends more money, he will be anxious!"

"The emperor is a necessary show, and the old man can't feel that he has spent too much money!"

"Difficult, difficult to deal with!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Jinglong picked up the purple clay pot on the table and took a few sips.

"What should I do?"

"You can't just play the stage and play the opera like an old birthday boy in rural areas, right?"

"It's okay to have a flowing table. If you are performing an opera, the old man will not kick all those actors out?"

"Besides, the old man's birthday is a matter of the entire Ming Dynasty. If there is no etiquette, the officials can't argue?"

"Oh..." Suddenly, Li Jinglong's mind lit up, as if he was holding something.

At this moment, a figure outside suddenly came in.

"Brother-in-law!" The person who came was Deng Ping, who shouted at Li Jinglong. Then he picked up the thermos on the table, poured two cups of warm tea, raised his head and poured it down.

"What are you doing? Is this a sweat?" Li Jinglong asked, "Aside from this point, should you be serving Master Long live?"

Deng Ping sat down opposite Li Jinglong, and after a long time of breath, he smiled, "Today, the prince is learning to ride a horse. The emperor asked me to accompany me and the prince of Cheng'enhou's family." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "The gentle little horse, the prince doesn't want it, so he wants to ride a tall horse."

"Look at my white-haired sweat, holding the reins, for fear that the horse would leave quickly and scare the prince!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong smiled and said, "The horses in the palace are all chosen by many choices, and they are not shocked by the sound of cannons. How could they be so evil?"

"It would be fine if the cannon sounds!" Deng Ping smiled, "The little marquis of the Zhao family touched a Qinzhou pen with a gray pen for the prince. It's such a good dog, with his head like a gourd, his ear like a fork, and his tail like a golden spear's waist."

"This is too dangerous!" Li Jinglong said heartily, "Take the dog outside in casually. If something happens, who can bear it?" He said, "Will no one take care of it?"

"Who cares? The old emperor hugged the prince and looked at Zhao Xiaohou happily and asked the dog to catch the rabbit. Several grand scholars came up to persuade the prince, the crown prince, seeing such a bloody scene is not good, guess what the old man said?"

"The old man said, what blood is this? Exorcist dogs and hunting is a means of making a living. The future emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot teach him like a nerd, but he must be wild."

Deng Ping smiled and suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, are you sitting here?"

"I'll sit here and think about something!" Li Jinglong stood up and prepared to walk out, but as soon as he walked to the door, he pulled back his stepping leg and looked outside in confusion.

"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?"

"Criminal Prince of Yan?" Li Jinglong blinked, "Look at that, is it the Prince of Yan?"

Deng Ping also looked over there, "That's right." As he said, he looked at Li Jinglong and whispered, "The three sons of King Yan entered the city at dawn this morning."

Suddenly, Li Jinglong understood.

Since the sons of King Yan have arrived, the other dragon sons and grandchildren are almost here.

Suddenly, Li Jinglong felt a headache again.

The emperor ordered him to hold the old man's birthday. All the dragon sons and grandsons and civil and military ministers were probably thousands of, so what they could eat was enough to worry about.

Are you trying to get those delicacies and waiting to find the old man to scold him?

But it was shabby, and Li Jinglong was waiting for all civil and military officials and Long Zi and Long Grandchildren to curse him.

Besides, this is different from the flowing mat in the countryside.

There are waves of food in the countryside, and the banquet is held in the palace at auspicious time.

Not to mention that there are not so many chefs, even if there are so many chefs, he will not hurry up. Besides, when the banquet is held at auspicious times, you must prepare the dishes first. When the banquet comes, the dishes will be cold.

It is even more difficult to cook and eat it now. Besides, the old man’s birthday party is not as simple as eating it as you come up and then dispersing it after eating.

It’s not okay to eat cold food, it’s not okay to wait for the food. It’s not okay to eat cold food while eating, and it’s not even better if you can’t eat well. It’s definitely not okay to eat too extravagantly, and you’ll be scolded no matter how you’re scolded!

Li Jinglong's temple was pounding, and he was in a bad mood.

"Brother-in-law, I think you have something to worry about!" Deng Ping said from the side.

"It's okay, I'll leave first, there's something going on in the yamen." Li Jinglong responded and stepped out.

"Or don't leave!" Deng Ping smiled, "The guard department has prepared a mutton pot in the kitchen today, otherwise you will go back after eating it? It's cold this day, eat a bowl of hot warmth." As he said, he continued to smile, "Don't look at the daily meals of the guard department are all thin, and even the bean sprouts are raw, but this mutton pot is really good."

"Just be content. Cut two taels of meat outside and celebrate the New Year." Li Jinglong snorted and said with a few tips, "Isn't it satisfying to have big fish and meat in the palace every day? You are a person around the emperor, so be careful when speaking and doing things. Others can just talk about this, but you can't just say it casually. If you say too much, the face of Guanglu Temple is not good-looking. Isn't that offending people?"

He said as he walked out, "If you like to eat, eat it, if you don't like to eat, you'll be down. If you don't like to eat, you'll be worth it. Find a good restaurant outside..."

Then, his steps paused again.

"Mutton pot?" Li Jinglong said to himself, "This is not bad. Mutton is the main dish of the table and is not that expensive. Then, you can have a copper pot and do it yourself. As long as the charcoal is not extinguished, the pot will always be hot."

"The meat and vegetables are also ready. At that time, the Guanglu Temple will command people to add soup."

"Looking at the fun, it's delicious, and it's lively and lively. It's not too easy to eat. The emperor's old man can't find any problems!"

But the next second, my face was full of embarrassment.

"The mutton pot is good, but how could I get so many copper pots? Is it too late to prepare for Guanglu Temple in the Bureau of the China Construction Bureau?"

The more I thought about it, the more I felt a headache. Li Jinglong slowly walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back.

Because I had something to do, I didn’t get on the carriage or sit in a sedan chair. I took off my official hat on my head, wore a sable short-haired cloak that blocked my body, walked out of Xi'an Gate, crossed Xi'an Avenue, and entered Xi'an straight alley.

Anyway, I was walking slowly and absent-mindedly.

It was the warmest noon of the day, and there were more people on the street. In addition to the peddlers and pawns, scholars and servants, big girls and little wives, etc.

"Hey, whose little girl is so fucking weird!"

Li Jinglong stopped by the street, and in his sight a woman walking like willow leaves came out of a silk farm and swayed into a carriage.

"Haha, my little face is blushing, it looks very good at first sight, and I support people!"

His eyes followed the carriage far away, and his mood eased a lot because of the scene just now.

"I won't go back at noon. I'm looking for a restaurant on the street to deal with it!" Li Jinglong turned around and asked Changsui, who followed him, and casually told him.

Then he looked around and looked for a restaurant that suited his taste on the street.

The place he was at this moment was the junction between the palace and the inner city. The prosperity was filled with the city fireworks, and the air was filled with the fragrance of hot tea and meat noodles.

He was walking among the crowd, and suddenly his shoulder was hit hard.

I turned around angrily and saw several young students.

"I'm sorry!" A student who was seventeen or eighteen years old with a red cheeks saluted, "Well!"

"Ah! It's okay!" Li Jinglong said lightly.

I saw a few students smiling and holding their backs, "What's the food for lunch?"

"The weather is so cold, why not make a side stove?"

"Da! I will use the side stove in clear water, and then I will ask Lao Sai to get a chicken and a plate of vegetables."

"Don't let the chickens be eaten, and it's not as fresh and smooth as our Qingyuan chicken. Why not, why don't we eat fish by the side stove? The fish fillets and fish balls are all good!"

The few people were chattering, and Li Jinglong was confused when he heard it.

"What's the hell of a bird?"

Just as I was thinking, I saw a few scholars directly into a fashionable restaurant on the roadside.
