Wang Daan and others really couldn't stand the temptation of breakfast. In this era, people generally eat two meals, one at eleven in the morning.
There is a meal at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and there is no concept of breakfast at all. Chongzhen was still motivated to eat breakfast.
However, after riding horses at high speed all night, they were very hungry. Once they sat down and grabbed the fast food, they couldn't stop.
The breakfast at Yang's house was so delicious that they almost swallowed it with their tongues.
"This milk is so delicious. I'm not afraid of your jokes, Butler Zhao. This is the first time for our family to drink milk." Wang Daan put down the glass goblet, licked the hot milk on his lips, and said with emotion.
"What's so funny about this? Our Ming Dynasty lacks dairy cows. Before I started a dairy farm, I, like you, had never drank this stuff. But this stuff is really nutritious." Zhao Fu accompanied him while talking to him.
They were talking.
The Jin Yiwei didn't dare to speak, they lowered their heads and ate hard.
"What is this black water? Why does it smell so fragrant?" Wang Da'an said, looking at the coffee pot that Gu was sitting on.
"This is called coffee. I heard from the master that it seems to be a specialty of a place called Mugudushu that the eunuch Sanbao went to when he went to the West. It is a seed grown on a tree. Would you like some?"
"Let's try some. When we arrived at Uncle Dingyuan's house, it was an eye-opener for our family." Zhao Fu brought a coffee cup and a small spoon and poured a cup of hot coffee.
Said: "This stuff smells good, but tastes bitter when you drink it. It's best to add some sugar cubes and condensed milk to make it taste better." Wang Da'an immediately followed his advice and asked Zhao Fu to add two cubes of sugar and pour it out from a small pot.
condensed milk, and then stirred it together with a small spoon. After it was done, Zhao Fu made a "please" gesture.
"Hey, it tastes really good. We were on the road last night and were very cold. After drinking this coffee, my whole body warmed up. It's really a good thing." Wang Daan said excitedly.
"We feel like our spirits are up all of a sudden. Could it be that this thing has a refreshing effect?" Wang Daan smacked his lips and said.
"Yes, this stuff is really refreshing."
"Oh, it's such a good thing. We stay up late at night at the Bureau of Ceremony. If we have this treasure, we won't be afraid of being sleepy."
"When you leave, I will bring you a bag of coffee beans, a grinder, a kettle, and a set of enamel coffee tableware." Zhao Fu said with a smile.
"Then why are you so embarrassed? Look, I'm here to do something for Lord Long Live. How can I benefit myself first?"
"You are as energetic as a twenty-year-old young man after drinking this coffee. Wouldn't it be even more energetic to work for the Long Live Lord? This is what the work requires." Zhao Fu also spoke very smoothly.
"Don't say anything. Brother, if you have something to do in the future, just come to me. We don't dare to say anything else. It's pretty easy to do things in Sijiu City." Wang Daan said happily.
This coffee tastes good, and is refreshing on the one hand. The coffee machine alcohol lamps are all made of glass, and glass is not cheap in this day and age.
This is a great gift. I had long heard that Uncle Dingyuan was generous and that anyone who came to announce the decree would receive large benefits. I didn't expect that I would get such a good thing before I left.
The accompanying officers of the Imperial Guard did not dare to speak. Their identities were too far different from those of Uncle Dingyuan.
Besides, Yang Fan is actually the second most powerful figure in Jinyiwei, so how dare they come to Yang Fan's house to cause trouble.
Everyone was trembling with fear. They just kept stuffing delicious food into their mouths. This was the first time they had eaten such a delicious breakfast after being on duty for so long.
Even though the officers were all pot-bellied, the maids kept serving steamed buns and various kinds of food. The Yang family had enough breakfast to satisfy them.
When Xiao Niangpi came out, she saw that all these people were so full from eating that they couldn't even bend down.
He covered his mouth with his little hand and almost laughed.
"Wang Banban, it's been a long time." Xiao Niangpi said with cupped hands. Although Wang Da'an was an old man when Chongzhen was in Prince Xin's Mansion, and he was relatively familiar with the emperor himself, otherwise he wouldn't be able to enter the Clerk of Ceremonies.
There are only five or six eunuchs in the hall. However, calling him Wang Banban would put a premium on his face.
Only Wang Chengen and others are qualified for this honor. Wang Daan was stunned for a moment when he heard what Xiao Niangpi said, and then with a red face, he repeatedly waved his hands and declined: "Madam, this is embarrassing our family. We have many people in our family."
I still know how much it costs, but I can’t afford it, I can’t afford it.” Although he refused, the happy expression on his face was not fake.
"They are all old people who believed in the palace back then. If you have any questions, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can." Xiao Niangpi said boldly.
Wang Daan's heart felt hot, and this was the result he most wanted to see. Ming Dynasty is a human society, and it is better to talk about anything in private than to deal with official matters.
Immediately, he explained what Chongzhen meant. He felt a little uneasy. After all, at this time, the rebels were also a great threat to Dingyuan Bo's territory.
It is really unreasonable to take Xinghe Tuanlian away at this time. Isn't it true that he only cares about the capital and does not care about the life and death of Dingyuan Bo's territory?
In fact, Xiao Niangpi was woken up this morning and heard that the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies had arrived. She and Lin Yueru had a close guess.
The front line must have been defeated and there are not enough troops. The emperor must be anxious now. The only people in his family who can be remembered by the emperor are those who can fight.
We captured the car camp guarding Qianhu Station in front of us. They must have come here for Xinghe Tuanlian. Currently, the emperor knows about Yang Fan's private soldiers, one is Xinghe Tuanlian, and they are responsible for the security of Yang Fan's industry.
One is the Yang Mansion's retainers group, because now there is no general who does not support his servants. If the Yang Mansion does not support an elite retainer team, it will arouse suspicion.
Do you have any bad intentions in hiding Yeye? Why don't you dare to make it public? Now the servant regiment has followed the master. The emperor is eager to suppress the rebellion, so he must have come here to train with the regiment.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru discussed it for half an hour. Since His Majesty has already decreed this matter, there is no way to ignore it.
Unless the Yang family doesn't want to hang out in Ming Dynasty anymore. They feel that even if they send out the group training, there will be no serious consequences.
In a few days, the wheat harvest in the west will be finished. At that time, everyone will retreat to the earth building, and people and food will enter the fortress. As for the soldiers from Ji Town, they will not be able to conquer it even if they come.
"To tell you the truth, since the Jizhou mutiny, dozens of rebels have come in to rob our land every day. The summer grain has just matured and has not yet been harvested. The rebels come to rob the harvest and kill and injure many of our people.
. That is to say, this new city is strong, otherwise, the city will not know how much damage it will suffer." Although I have decided to obey the decree, I must express my difficulties and grievances.
You need to let your leaders know how difficult it is for you. Otherwise, people will think that you are having an easy time here. You have to be capable and able to say something. If someone has worked hard for ten years, it is better for them to just say a word.
Therefore, you must be capable and well-spoken in order to survive in the dark society of Ming Dynasty.
"However, no matter how difficult it is, it is not as difficult as it is for Your Majesty. I will call the regiment to gather together. Let the regiment follow the father-in-law back to the capital," Xiao Niangpi said.
