Princess Shen Mingzhu's cook is a top-notch cook, and it is said that her knife skills are better than those in the imperial kitchen. Naturally, they will not refuse her food.
Wen Song immediately sat down and said, "I'm just here to have some food. Every time I come to your house, I always come here with an empty stomach."
Shen Mingtang is not as poor as he is, but he admits that the food in the Princess's Mansion is delicious, especially after Shen Mingzhu left the Shen family, the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion is very average.
Especially at the banquet where the family got together, the old lady made the decision, and the food... compared to the one in Cuizhuyuan, he felt that he couldn't eat it.
But the old lady insisted that she should not be extravagant and wasteful, but should pay attention to frugality. The Shen family could no longer make ends meet and so on.
Shen Mingzhu didn't ask anyone to prepare anything specially, just her daily meals, but even ordinary meals were full of color, aroma, flavor, and delicious, which made people want to eat.
There is no chicken, duck or fish, but you can still taste the delicious taste of chicken, duck and fish. Even stir-fried, it has such a unique taste that you can’t stop eating it.
Wen Songzhi ate four bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks, and then drank two more bowls of sea rice soup before giving up.
Shen Mingtang is not that unreserved. Although he eats a lot, it is not that exaggerated.
After eating, Wen Songzhi rubbed his belly and said, "Shen Mingzhu, if you have any orders, just say, we will live through fire and water without hesitation, right, cousin Ming."
Shen Mingtang smiled slightly and said, "This is my sister, so of course I don't have anything to say about it."
Shen Mingzhu smiled helplessly, "Although I am an ordinary person and don't have many friends, I am still very lucky to have you."
She said to Wensong: "You go back to the palace first. Your task is to stick to your post and then use your connections to find out the news in the palace, such as His Majesty's attitude, the Queen's attitude, etc."
This is also very important to her, because if the emperor orders a strict investigation, it means that the government can invite her to appear in court. If she is convicted, she will be jailed.
Wen Songzhi nodded, he knew the importance of the news, "Okay, I'll go back right now. I'll be working with others in the palace these days. I won't be going home."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Wen Songzhi bowed his hands and said goodbye, "I am willing to do things for you, no matter how hard it is, and it is what I should do."
After saying goodbye, he rode back to the palace to continue his duties and found several other colleagues.
In the past, several colleagues had family matters and needed to take leave, but there was no one to replace them, so it was not decided for a while.
Wen Songzhi now directly told them that he had been having conflicts with his family in the past few days. He didn't want to go home and see other people's faces, and wanted to live in the palace, so he took the initiative to be on duty for them.
Those people were not happy, so they immediately discussed how to take turns.
Finally, they reached an agreement and patted Wen Songzhi on the shoulder, "Good brother, you are on duty for us now, and we will replace you later. When I come back, I will treat you to a drink."
Wen Songzhi chuckled, "Easy to talk about, just go about your business, I'll take care of everything."
Wen Songzhi used to be an arrogant and aloof scholar. He didn't like to deal with others very much. He also found those children of aristocratic families very annoying.
But since Shen Mingzhu gave him some advice, he told him not to look at the children of the aristocratic families as being like playboys, but many people also have real abilities, and they are no worse than them.
