The four hundred and fiftieth chapters are different
There are really people in this world who don’t like being an official but love cooking!
Princess Yongping has always been calm and calm, but at this moment, she only feels that her deep-rooted cognitive tower is slowly collapsing. Although after the accidents of the second prince and the eldest prince happened one after another, she knew that in order to make herself appear useful, she
The layers of masks of dignified, talented and talented women that have been piled up are actually not very necessary anymore, but if you put them on for too long, sometimes they become a habit.
Therefore, although she admired the thought and skill of the Song Dynasty examiner in front of her, she was extremely incomprehensible about his reckless behavior of giving up the imperial examination. What made her even more unbelievable at this time was that the two options proposed by Zhu Ying were:
Obviously the first one represented a very good opportunity, but Song Juren was unwilling and chose the second one directly!
She knew better than Zhu Ying that they were born in the same year, month and day as Zhang Shou, so she could not help but keep a distance from Zhang Shou, even though this man suddenly became a celebrity in front of his father after Hengkong was born, with his appearance and grace.
She is unparalleled in the world, but she has always boasted that she does not look at the skin but the inside. However, there is no doubt that Zhang Shou is really kind to the people around her.
Look at Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and a bunch of other people who were once considered to be playboys!
As long as Song Juren nods, he will be able to live in Zhang Yuan from now on. By then, those who are near the water will get the moon first. Not to mention that Zhang Shou can easily lead people to become familiar with him in front of an imperial master like Ge Yong, and maybe he will have a chance to meet him.
Father, isn't it much better than this young Juren who gave up on himself and decided that he would not be able to pass the Jinshi exam so he opened a candy shop?
The more Princess Yongping thought about it, the more irritated she became. The more irritated she became, the more she felt that the young ruler in front of her was really wasting a good opportunity. She immediately said coldly: "Zhu Ying, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. You are rich and self-sufficient. Of course you don't have to take advantage of others' future."
Take it as one thing, but have you ever thought about it, Song Juren seems to be satisfied for a while now, but what will happen in the future?"
She glared at Song Juren, who was beaming with joy just now, but was quickly retracting his expression, and said word by word: "In life, not everyone can do whatever they want, regardless of the consequences. Song Juren, you should
You know this. Since you have participated in the Royal Chef Selection Competition and finally got your wish, you have to make good plans for the future!"
"Do you think it's easy to open a store in a place like the capital? Except for those rich people who own many stores and can live comfortably just by collecting rent every year, how many other people who rent stores for business do you know who can make money? How many of them can make money?
Are the families barely surviving? Are several going bankrupt? Zhu Ying just said that he can lend you money to run the business, but are you really going to not repay the money based on your personality?"
"No." Song Juren simply shook his head. Princess Yongping gave such a long lesson, but he only answered the last question. After hearing this answer, Princess Yongping didn't have time to show a happy expression.
I saw that this young man who seemed a bit dull to me suddenly became serious.
"Princess, my family has a large population, but I am actually not short of a candidate like me. The reason why my family wants to force me to take the Jinshi exam is just to increase the number of Jinshi arches erected near the ancestral hall. To be honest, my cousins
They are all Jinshi, even if I am not close, but I am a scholar anyway, I am better than the other brothers. Even if I go to open a shop, others will only shake their heads and sigh that I am playing with things and losing my ambition."
"As for what to do when the princess says that the store cannot be opened and the store closes...then I will take the Jinshi exam again."
Seeing Princess Yongping looking at him as if she were looking at a madman, Song Juren scratched his head and said with a smile: "The imperial court will not restrict those who have passed the business examination from being able to take the Jinshi exam, right? If you fail the exam, forget it.
If I get it, I will complain about illness and not be an official, so as not to harm others. Well, then I will be able to receive the subsidy from the clan for Jinshi, and after two or three years of accumulation, I should be able to pay back the money."
Can it still be like this?
Zhang Shou almost burst out laughing and thought this guy was really funny. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone coming up to the stairs. He saw that it was Lu Sanlang in front, Fourth Master Hua and Wan Yuanbao behind.
He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. But he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he turned back to Song Juren and asked with a smile: "Oh, are you willing to continue to receive subsidies and become a rice insect?"
"There is a saying that if you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster. There is a saying that if a dragon lurks in the abyss, it will rise to the sky. I am just dormant for the time being. When I save enough money, I will continue to open the restaurant! Since I can let the princess and
Everyone thinks that the food I make is delicious, but I don’t believe that I can’t keep it open, and I don’t believe that I can’t make it famous so that people can see it!”
The more Song Juren spoke, the more impassioned he became, and finally he straightened his chest. Those who didn't know the courage that he vowed not to return until he broke Loulan would have thought that it was the oath before the test, rather than the determination before opening the store... And he continued
The reason he came up with made Ge Yong almost spray tea again after hearing it.
"Anyway, our Song family is well-known in Guangdong. It's easy for me to go to my fellow villagers and ask for money!"
"More than just being famous. The Song family in Guangdong not only has the largest fleet in Guangdong, but is also the richest man in Guangdong. It is very famous."
As soon as Mr. Hua spoke, he saw a lot of eyes focused on him. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and then said apologetically: "In the past, this Mr. Song passed by Suzhou with his uncle. I have seen him.
Once, the princess summoned him just now. When he passed by the second floor, I looked familiar, so I couldn't help but beg Mr. Lu to bring me up."
Wan Yuanbao suddenly coughed: "Fourth Master Hua just said that Mr. Song looked familiar, and seemed to be an acquaintance of him. I was curious, so I shamelessly followed him upstairs to have a look. The others happened to have dispersed, and at the stairs on the second floor
When the guards heard that we came up with Mr. Lu, they opened the door to us and asked the princess and your lords to forgive us for this crime of trespassing."
And the little fat man who spoke last had a smile on his face: "Teacher, princess, ladies and gentlemen, I also asked about the identity of Chef Song. I was really curious, so I came up to watch the fun.
.After all, if this matter is publicized, it will be a legend. Dangtang Juren personally came to test and select the royal chef, and actually defeated a lot of chefs in one fell swoop to advance to the semi-finals!"
"shut up!"
Princess Yongping, who was already very angry, finally burst out: "Lu Sanpang, you speak lightly! If this word spreads, aren't you afraid that he will be criticized verbally and verbally? He himself said just now that the family hopes
He is studying to be an official, and I don’t want him to be a cook..."
"I don't think I am condescending to be a chef, I just like it." Song Juren couldn't help but contradict Princess Yongping again, "The news spreads, if I open the shop like this again, others will come to patronize even if they are just curious.
Right? In this way, wouldn’t I be able to welcome a large flow of customers? I don’t care if you criticize me with words or with writing, my ancestor of the Song family who founded the business also gave up writing and went into business!”
When a scholar encounters soldiers, he cannot explain his reasoning clearly. At this moment, Princess Yongping only felt powerless and ashamed.
She was used to those scholars being ecstatic after receiving her praises, used to those talented scholars obeying her suggestions, and also used to some people being obedient and disobeying her. She was not unfamiliar with even Zhang Shou staying away from him.
After all, there are a group of people who disapprove of a princess like her who is so public.
But she has never met anyone who dared to argue with her until she blushed and forgot her noble status!
Just when Princess Yongping was so angry that she almost wanted to walk away, she heard Song Juren murmuring in a low voice: "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish? There are many people in the world who strive for progress, and there are also many who do not.
Progressive people, like me. Since my family is not short of money and I am not short of an official, I can live a good life for myself, can’t I?"
Live for myself... These few words were like a huge hammer, hitting Princess Yongping's heart hard. She almost couldn't help but fell down on the chair, thinking about what she had known since
Life experience, aware of what the mother and concubine did in these years after her dilemma.
She was careful, and she found a way out for herself between rules and propriety. She didn't want to marry a strange man casually, and she didn't want her always arrogant but strong mother to fall into dust after any prince ascended the throne.
.So, she decided not only to protect herself, but also to protect her mother, and would never marry herself out for temporary ease...
Think about it, how has she ever lived for herself for a day or even a moment in these years?
Why are she always at odds with Zhu Ying and unable to coexist peacefully every time? Isn't it because she envies Zhu Ying's free life and envies that Zhu Ying is always in the hands of her father, brother and elders? Her father has always been
She has been good enough to her, and her mother-in-law has always protected her, but she has always been insecure, so she hates people who lack a sense of crisis!
Take Zhu Ying, for example, and this guy who passed the exam, but didn't know how to cherish it!
Tears burst into her eyes uncontrollably. When Princess Yongping stood up, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and stumbled out, everyone who had just watched the argument with interest suddenly looked at each other. Chu Kuan was also stunned and hurriedly chased after her.
, when he saw Princess Yongping holding on to the railing to go down the stairs, he felt it was even more difficult. Fortunately, at this time, a figure rushed ahead.
"Hey, hey, it's just a few words of argument, don't you think so?" The person who rushed up to grab Princess Yongping was none other than Zhu Ying. Seeing her trying to free herself with her sleeves, she didn't say a word.
She was about to get angry, but when she thought that today was their birthday, she couldn't help but relented and simply helped the person downstairs.
"Don't be careful when walking. What if you fall? This is other people's business. Why are you so angry? He doesn't want a future. That's his own business. Do you usually look at those who pursue fame and wealth?
There are too many, so you can’t get used to seeing him? Why are you angry when others are living their lives! It’s a wonderful birthday, but you cry like a tabby cat!”
"Zhu Ying, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
After hearing Zhu Ying's erroneous persuasion and Princess Yongping's angrily rebuttal, Zhang Shou couldn't help but look at Song Juren who was at a loss, and then said with a half-smile: "Song Gong, you do whatever you want.
The way you live your life seems to make the princess angry. She has probably never seen someone like you who doesn't seek to make progress in her life."
The words "not seeking improvement" were what Song Juren himself said just now. At this time, being thrown back by Zhang Shou, although he was a little depressed, after touching his nose, he did not say anything. After all, he felt guilty.
The little guy actually messed up the princess's birthday and made her angry. This won't cause any big trouble, right?
After thinking about it, he finally whispered: "How about... I cook a dessert specifically for the princess to comfort him?"
At that moment, there was silence upstairs, as if there was an indescribable cool breeze whirling by. After a long time, Zhang Shoucai couldn't help but cover his forehead and sighed: "Mr. Song, you sometimes
You look very dull, but sometimes you look very sharp. But can you use your sharpness in the right place?"
If you are a chef, and you cook a delicious dessert to please Princess Yongping, she will definitely be very happy; but if you, a person who does not seek advancement, go to be a chef... don't you think this is not a comfort?
Instead of deliberately confronting people?
Chu Kuan originally stayed to see what kind of condition Princess Yongping was in, but he couldn't help but smile at this moment. He looked at the Song Juren with a subtle expression, and saw that her face was clear, but there was a faint trace between her eyebrows.
Lazy and confused, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and then smiled and bowed to the four of them: "Since the princess is unhappy, I will escort the princess back to the palace first."
When Lu Sanlang saw Chu Kuan, he immediately went downstairs. Several young eunuchs followed him. He rushed to the stairs and looked down. Then he blatantly pricked up his ears and listened. When he heard Chu Kuan
He was talking to Princess Yongping, but the princess obviously didn't even want to say anything. She just said yes and walked down. He immediately turned back and glanced at Song Juren.
Immediately afterwards, he gave the person a thumbs up.
Just like the only brothers in the capital, the eldest prince and the second prince, occasionally provoke Zhu Ying, except for them, absolutely no one in the capital would provoke Princess Yongping, even the former deposed queen! Because the emperor
Will stand up and support!
Song Juren was completely confused by Lu Sanlang's thumbs-up gesture. What made him even more confused was that at this moment, he finally saw clearly the people at the tables upstairs, including one table of elderly people in their seventies and eighties, one table of middle-aged and elderly people, and one table of middle-aged and elderly people.
The old man and the monk were at the table, and there was another table... which was where Princess Yongping sat just now, but now only the handsome young man who was talking to him was left.
Because the person had spoken several times, he guessed that it was Zhang Shou at this time. And there were four people at the table, and his expression looked strange at this time, so that he slapped his forehead hard, and then
He asked pitifully: "Then what should I do next?"
Princess Yongping who summoned me is gone!
Zhang Shou was about to speak, but he didn't expect Fourth Master Hua who was next to him to suddenly push a tip bag over and said with a smile on his face: "Dr. Zhang, here are some overseas seeds. A friend of mine got it. There is a piece of paper in it."
The film clearly stated what it was, but I wasn’t sure, and I had no intention of taking care of it, so I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and gave them to you as a birthday gift.”
After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Shou to refuse, Fourth Master Hua said with a smile: "Let me plead for Mr. Song again. He is a heartless person. If he really offends Princess Yongping,
