Chapter 160 The ancients are sincere and cannot be deceived
"Reporting to the master, when I sent the court food to the Hanyuan Palace, I heard His Majesty and Prince Ji talking about food. I don't know if I have already told you about the master's promotion to Zhaoyi."
Wu Mei, who was staring at Li Hong running around the palace, slowly straightened up and said, "Are you happy when Your Majesty spoke to King Ji?"
"Reporting to my master, Your Majesty had a very pleasant conversation with Prince Ji."
"What about the food they all talked about?"
"I heard that it is a place called Jinchangfang where food is eaten. I heard from King Ji that the types of food in Jinchangfang are several times as many as His Majesty's. According to King Ji, not counting soups and cakes, there are...
There are as many as sixty-eight kinds. Counting six soups and twenty kinds of cakes, the entire morning meal has a total of ninety-four kinds."
When Wu Mei heard what the palace man said, she was stunned and frowned: "Who dares to be so arrogant?"
The palace man quickly said: "It's a restaurant, not a certain family."
"Oh, it's a restaurant. Even a restaurant shouldn't spend so much money."
"Master, I heard from King Ji that there are thousands of people who enter Jinchangfang to eat every day. Even so, they still have to queue up to enter Jinchangfang. I also heard from King Ji that those diners would rather eat before eating.
You must first hand over two dollars to Jinchangfang before you are eligible to eat in."
Wu Mei frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Are those diners really Chang'an diners?"
The palace man quickly said: "King Ji has promised that those people are really diners. Not only the local people in Chang'an like to go to Jinchangfang to eat, but also the barbarians who come to Chang'an to do business, and the scholars who come to Beijing to take exams."
We also like to go to Jinchangfang.
King Ji also said that the entire Jinchangfang is now overcrowded all day long."
After hearing what the palace man said, Wu Mei frowned. She asked the palace man to bring a wooden box. After opening it, she rummaged through it for a long time before finding a secret report. Li Hong pushed it into her arms.
He handed it to the palace servant and read the secret report carefully. After reading it, he found the secret report again and put it away.
He took Li Hong from the hands of the palace servant, put it in front of him, and looked at Li Hong with a very strange look. Li Hong couldn't stand this look and wanted Wu Mei to hug her, but Wu Mei pushed her away coldly.
After two or three times, Li Hong couldn't bear it anymore and started crying loudly.
Wu Mei did not comfort Li Hong immediately, but waited until Li Hong was tired of crying before picking him up again.
He looked at Li Hong's dark eyes and said, "Are you really as emperor-like as Li Chunfeng said?"
Li Hong continued to cry loudly and kept shouting "Aniang." But he did not dare to continue to reach out for a hug.
At this moment, Li Zhi's voice came from outside.
"Mei Niang, Mei Niang, I heard something strange today. Do you think there are really restaurants with five hundred chefs in this world?"
Wu Mei gently wiped the tears on Li Hong's face with a handkerchief, handed him over to the palace servants to take him away, and greeted him with a smile: "Now, the world is peaceful and the weather is smooth, and some things that should have happened in the Taiping years have not happened at all.
Not surprising, I am here to congratulate His Majesty."
"You should really thank me. King Ji has no objection to your promotion to the imperial concubine. He said that this is a matter within the palace and has nothing to do with him as a foreign minister. It is entirely up to me.
He also promised to persuade Zongzheng not to get entangled with me on this matter. As long as Zongzheng does not attack me, Chu Suiliang will be unable to survive alone."
"However, Uncle Changsun has not yet made it clear. If he also stands up to object, Your Majesty must not refute Uncle Changsun. I will just continue to stay in the palace as a palace servant to accompany Your Majesty."
Li Zhi laughed loudly and said: "Uncle Changsun just wants a few favors, just give it to him."
Seeing Li Zhi's high-spirited look, Wu Mei stood up slowly, holding her belly, with a smile on her face.
Yun Chu couldn't help but laugh!
No one can laugh when facing Liang Jianfang, not even the emperor, because no one knows what the old guy will do in the next moment that makes people laugh or cry.
One moment, the old guy was praising Yun Chu for his solid, solid and good job in supporting the army. The next moment, he was preparing to have a banquet with his old friends in Jinchangfang.
The time is just half an hour later. The wine needs alcohol. As for the dishes, as long as they are the dishes in the big dining hall, just try them all again.
Since hearing the news, Yun Chu has been hiccupping constantly, and even pricking acupuncture points with needles has no effect.
"Sir, the alcohol has been poisoned by Sun Shenxian. People will die after drinking it."
The reason why Sun Simiao wanted to poison the alcohol was to limit the production of alcohol, so that this substance could only be used for medical purposes, instead of being poured into the stomach by drunkards as if it were a nectar.
The amount of alcohol consumed by the Tang Dynasty in a year is staggering. It is estimated that even if it cannot fill a West Lake, it will not be much different. After all, they drink low-alcohol alcohol. As long as they drink, no one can drink two or three kilograms.
Not to mention people like King Ruyang who drink like a long whale taking in hundreds of rivers.
At the same time, the profits were astonishing, but they did not benefit Datang Shao's poor grain output at all.
Liang Jianfang brought a jar of alcohol from nowhere. Yun Chu could see clearly that this was the alcohol he sold to the Imperial Medical Office. On the jar was written on red paper - Antivirus in three large black characters. Yun Chu even
A skull and two crossed human leg bones are also printed below the three words.
At first glance, this thing is not a benevolent person. Anyone who wants to live will basically stay away from this thing. Coupled with Sun Shenxian's warning, it has become a common sense that if you drink this thing, you will definitely die.
There are those who don’t believe in evil, and that’s Liang Jianfang!
He directly opened the jar, poured a bowl of antiseptic medicine, and poured it into his mouth with a bang. Judging from the ease with which he drank alcohol, he definitely did not drink less of this stuff in the past two years.
Liang Jianfang threw the wine bowl on the table with a clang and said to Yun Chu: "I'm going to die now. Are you not even willing to fulfill my last wish?"
There's nothing we can do about it.
Liang Jianfang, an old man who drank a large bowl of poison, was still alive. He was still looking at Naha's raccoon horse lustfully. It seemed that he wished he could turn into a group of stallions and breed the next generation with this mare.
BMW.
Naha was so frightened that she quickly led Wu Zima and two big fat men to Yu Xiurong's place for refuge.
After Naha and the little maid left, Yun Chu took another look at his group of very round-looking maids, and felt that it would be most suitable for them to serve the little friends Liang Jianfang had brought over.
After asking Liang Jianfang how many people had come, Yunchu began to regret his words again, because with this question, Liang Jianfang curled his lips, and fifty or sixty more people came to eat.
I thought they were all from Zuo Wuwei under Liang Jianfang. When two familiar faces, Zheng Rentai and Su Dingfang, appeared at the door of the Yun family, Yun Chu sighed and ordered Cui to set up a long table at the Yun family.
feast.
Seeing the murderous old men coming in from the Yun family gate one after another, especially after seeing Li Ji in a green robe, Yun Chu's hiccups immediately disappeared.
These people entered Yunchu's house more casually than entering their own homes, and they all came on horseback. After a while, the Yun family's small stables were filled with famous horses from all over the world, and they were all mares.
.
This just caught the bay red horse's fancy, and he ran around in the stable in high spirits. Fortunately, it was not the war horse's estrus at this time, otherwise, it would have sent all the mares here back home with a big belly.
The streets are full of well-trained and fully armed troops, and there are people who specifically direct these troops where to defend and where to deploy their defenses.
Seeing the person commanding the defense, Yun Chu burst into laughter.
Pei Xingjian looked at Yun Chu's smiling face, backed away, covered his head and said, "I caught a cold last night, and I would like to use the Yun family's guest room to rest for the whole day."
How could Yun Chu agree to such an excuse to run away before the battle? He took Pei Xingjian's hand and told Liang Jianfang that Pei Xingjian could satisfy whatever he needed today.
However, when Liang Jianfang saw all his old friends gathered, he pointed at Yun Chu and said, "This guy is about to take the imperial examination. How about this long banquet?"
Li Ji, who was sitting in the most important position, looked at the dazzling array of snacks on the table and said deliciously: "This is the table where a general who has returned victoriously would rather disobey the old man's order than let go and have a feast."
Table banquet?”
Yun Chu bowed and said: "It's not delicious, it's just more friendly."
Li Ji raised his head, looked at Yun Chu coldly and said: "Okay, they say that when affection is strong, it can be made into wine. I would like to taste the friendship today."
Liang Jianfang immediately raised the wine jar with a skull on it and diligently filled the wine bowl in front of Li Ji with wine.
Then he said to Yun Chu: "I won't tell you who belongs to whom here. Just call me grandpa when you meet.
You told me at my house that you didn't want to be a military attache because you wanted to protect a home for your sons who were fighting abroad.
In the past, I just thought you were farting. In the past two years, looking at the things you have done, I think you have done a really good job.
As long as you become an official and become a suitable official in the future, you may really be able to protect a home for the soldiers fighting on the front line.
Today, I have brought all the people who can come to you, just to let them recognize your face, cheer for you, and help you rise to the top.
Of course, if you didn’t protect your home for the sons and daughters and let it become a mess because of the sons’ expedition, we would only ask you.”
Pei Xingjian looked at Yunchu enviously, but he didn't know that Yunchu's mind was like a boiling pot at this moment, and his brain was bubbling.
He really didn't expect that the lie he told casually at Liang Jianfang's house in order to avoid being beaten would one day have to be fulfilled.
Seeing these people with all kinds of ferocious statues looking at him, Yun Chu's words that he tried to evade were actually swallowed back alive by him.
