Originally, Hou Yao planned to take Ji Qizhen to visit various industrial areas.
In the end, Ji Qizhen just asked him to send a guide, and he wanted the guide to take him to see it.
Apparently he was afraid that he would not let him see the core secrets of the industry.
Hou Yao was naturally happy and relaxed about this request, but at the same time, he couldn't help but look down upon his highness.
As a prince, to think so carefully, it can be seen that his spirit is no bigger than the tip of a needle.
However, in these industries of our own, we must recruit some high-ranking courtiers to join them.
It’s better to have someone come to your doorstep than to go find someone yourself.
By leaving Ji Qizhen to be smart, he had time to live a refined life in the yamen.
In addition, Yu Xiuer is not here, and there are no entertainment programs in this era. Cooking is just a kind of pastime.
As a result, as soon as they finished cooking, they were bumped into by Yu Xiuer and Ji Wenjun who came back to change clothes.
Ji Wenjun smelled that the rice cooked by Hou Yao was very fragrant, and immediately snatched the plate of rice that Hou Yao had eaten after two bites.
The reason is that this princess hasn’t even eaten yet, so you dare to eat first?
Hou Yao could only go to the kitchen and cook two more portions, and then he and Yu Xiuer had dinner together.
Ji Wenjun never wanted to eat out again after eating a meal cooked by Hou Yao.
After that, he took Yu Xiuer out to wander around every day, and when it was time to eat, he would go back to the Yamen on time to find Hou Yao to cook for him.
It made Hou Yao feel like he was almost becoming her special cook.
But it wouldn't work if I didn't do it. I feel guilty, after all, I have taken advantage of others.
Ji Wenjun accepted Hou Yao's gift, and his anger had subsided a little, but he and Yu Xiuer were wandering around again these days.
While passing the time and having fun, I also heard how grateful the people in the city were for the changes in their lives that Hou Yao had brought to them.
Coupled with Yu Xiuer's admiration for Hou Yao from the bottom of her heart, her inherent impression of Hou Yao gradually changed a little.
Now I don’t hate Hou Yao so much anymore.
Yu Xiuer was relieved to see that the relationship between the two had eased. Otherwise, she would have been worried all day long, fearing that the princess would be unfavorable to Hou Yao.
Hou Yao and Chen Junnan were busy in the kitchen for nearly an hour before they came out:
"It's time to eat."
Ji Wenjun was lying on Yu Xiuer's bed and was about to fall asleep. When he heard the scream, he turned over and sat up, rubbed his eyes, and muttered dissatisfied:
"It takes such a long time to cook, and people have just fallen asleep."
Hou Yao said angrily:
"If you have something to eat, just eat it. Why is there all this nonsense? If you don't want to eat it, just keep sleeping. We can finish it anyway."
Chen Junnan chuckled and said:
"Your Highness Princess, the Master said: No matter how much food you eat, you can eat it without filling your stomach. Why don't you sleep a little longer and just have dinner."
Ji Wenjun immediately rushed out of the side room:
"Who said I don't want to eat? Quickly bring me my food."
Yu Xiuer came over carrying two dinner plates:
"Your Highness, your food is here with me."
Ji Wenjun immediately rushed forward, holding the plate and eating fiercely, while eating, he said:
"Well, Hou Yao, you might as well stop being an official and go back to the capital with me to be a cook."
"Bah, do you think anyone is qualified to ask me to cook for him? I can't even ask your brother to cook for him. Even your father can't make me give in."
"Then why do you want to cook for me?"
"Because you are a child and I am an adult, so I should take care of children."
Ji Wenjun immediately became anxious. She hated people saying she was young:
"Why am I so young? I'm already twenty-eight years old, okay? If I were in the capital, my father, the emperor, and my mother would be urging me to get married."
Hou Yao smiled contemptuously:
"Look around you, and then look at yourself. Isn't there something wrong with you?"
Ji Wenjun obediently looked at Yu Xiuer beside him for a few times and said:
"Sister Xiu'er is not much older than this master..."
Suddenly, his eyes fell on two towering mountain peaks, and his face instantly turned red.
Looking back, I saw Hou Yao snickering. I still didn't understand what he meant. He immediately rushed forward in anger and waved his pink fist:
"Hou Yao, you are so brave, I want to kill you..."
Hou Yao had already seen the opportunity and ran away with the plate in his arms. Ji Wenjun chased after him, and the two Zhan Wuzhao fought while protecting the plate.
Chen Junnan glanced at Hou Yao and couldn't help but shook his head slightly:
"Hou Yao is really a strange person. Junior sister, it is a big blessing to be favored by him. When are you going to marry him?"
Yu Xiuer shook her head slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.
Chen Junnan was suddenly startled and asked in surprise:
"You didn't swear in front of that old monster, did you?"
Yu Xiuer glanced at Chen Junnan blankly and nodded silently.
Chen Junnan smiled bitterly and said:
"Then you didn't tell Hou Yao about this?"
Yu Xiuer shook her head, a tear rolled down:
"I didn't expect that I would be tempted by my husband. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have kidnapped him back in the first place."
Chen Junnan sighed:
"Oh, this is going to be difficult. That old guy is not easy to deal with. I don't know if Wei Daxing can stop that madman."
Yu Xiuer wiped away her tears, forced a smile and said:
"It's okay, as long as I don't marry him, Master won't blame me."
"This is easy to say, but is Hou Yao the kind of person who can compromise easily? If he knew that you refused to marry him for this reason,
It is estimated that if the old monster doesn't come to him, he will go to find the old monster. The Master said: I am crazy about love, crazy about love, and become crazy and crazy because of love.
Alas, in her eyes, people's hearts are all bad."
"Actually, no. Master is very good to me. Although I don't know what happened to you before.
But I think Master is a very kind person, but sometimes he is a little afraid of people."
"What? You said that old monster was kind? Oh my god, little junior sister, you really are..., forget it, let's not talk about this anymore.
Before there is no way to deal with her, not getting married is the best way to deal with it.
However, it’s okay if you don’t get married, but Hou Yao is a man. There are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is not having an heir..."
Looking at Hou Yao and Ji Wenjun fighting, Yu Xiuer's tears fell again:
"No, there are so many women who want to marry the husband. You see, even the princess has gradually fallen in love with the husband. He will get married..."
Chen Junnan narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Hey, why is there such a strong sour taste in your words?"
…
Sihai class.
He Jinghui took a sip of the 'Corn Fairy Brew' and burped:
"Gah, this wine is so damn good."
Huo Zhuge took a sip and said with emotion:
"If this wine had been available back then, they should all have survived. What a pity."
"I said you have this disease. You are sad every day. You have been dead for many years and you think so much.
If you come here and get drunk today, let’s go one by one.”
"Farewell, I'm just drinking. Gao Xiaosong is coming soon. Let's finish the business first. That old guy is not easy to deal with."
"Yes, but that old bastard is really slow to come."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Xiaosong lifted the curtain and walked in.
"When did the head of He Da's family get the bad habit of talking behind people's backs?"
He Jinghui laughed twice:
"I'm scolding you behind your back, old man? I won't scold you in front of you? What's wrong with scolding you, old man?
Come and fight me. Come on, let’s go out and fight first to see how much progress your "White Camel Dragon Palm" has made."
Gao Xiaosong said with a sarcastic expression:
"How dare you speak up even though you have defeated a general like you? We don't have the time to fight with a madman like you. If you really want to fight, just go to Lu Feiyang. He is your good opponent."
"I think so too. The problem is that that old guy is hiding on Taketomi Island, and I can't defeat him."
"They have already come out. As soon as our family arrived in Bao'an County, we received news that the sea-breaking fleet had set out to sea. Governor Lin sent troops to intercept them.
By now the two armies should be facing each other in the East China Sea."
"Then you still called me here? Isn't this a waste of time?"
Huo Zhuge lowered his head and thought for a moment and said softly:
"No, the sea-breaking fleet is mobilized in such a large scale. If it really comes out, it should be a thunderous strike. Lin Lihui does not have enough troops to intercept it.
It’s not Lu Feiyang who came out.”
Gao Xiaosong laughed and said:
"As expected of Mr. Zhuge, I can't hide anything from you. The one who came out was Lu Haikui, the sea-breaking fleet. They seemed to be heading towards the Japanese country.
Governor Lin sent troops because he was afraid that they would join forces with Chen Yuda, so he sent troops first to stop him."
He Jinghui leaned back in his chair:
"It's not Lu Feiyang who came out. I'm not interested. That kid Lu Haikui is boring. Go and play with him yourself.
Tell me, what do you want to do, you old guy? Or what does that old guy in the palace want to do?"
Gao Xiaosong said:
"Your Majesty hopes that you will send troops to blockade the Zhili Strait for one year, and then lift it after Lin Lihui's victory comes out."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, let me stay in that inhospitable place for a year. What good can I do?"
"His Majesty said that after this incident, he will let Princess Anhui die suddenly. From now on, Princess Anhui will no longer exist in this world."
When Huo Zhuge heard this, his face turned red with excitement and his hands clenched into fists involuntarily.
He Jinghui hurriedly stood up and helped him carry it:
"Nerd, calm down, calm down. I have been waiting for so many years and I don't care if I wait another year or two. Calm down.
Besides, Ji Hong and that bitch are not that trustworthy, so they won’t make any more trouble."
Huo Zhuge’s voice was choked with sobs:
"I know, I know..."
He Jinghui nodded:
"Okay, I agree to this. If you don't have anything else to do, just get out."
Gao Xiaosong said:
"One more thing, why did the price of salt drop by 20% last year? How do you ask our family to explain such a large sum of money to His Majesty?"
He Jinghui glanced at him contemptuously and said dissatisfied:
"How do you tell me to interfere with my business? Last year, Oda Nobunaga asked all salt merchants to lower their prices. Unless the price was lowered, ships would not be allowed to enter the port.
But last year, the old boy was accidentally attacked by his important minister Akechi Mitsuhide.
The latest information I just got is that his subordinate Hashiba Hideyoshi has killed another general Shibata Katsuie, and is likely to unify Japan.
I'm afraid the price of salt will drop again this year, so be mentally prepared, because there's nothing I can do anyway."
