Ren Hong's toilet was near the stable, and as the feast drew to a close, the radish was happily munching on the juicy alfalfa, but suddenly stopped.Because it found a drunken man coming to the manger and was about to untie his belt!
Dirty!
Fortunately, the master grabbed him from behind: "Zigao, this is the stable, and the toilet is here." ”"Drunk, drunk, don't blame Xi'an Hou."
The man patted his flushed face, and the two staggered to the toilet.Then the turnip began to chew, and after a long time, with a burst of retching, the master and the man helped each other out of the toilet, and then he saw clearly that there was a horse, and immediately stopped walking."
The food of the Hou family in Xi'an is good, and the horses and horses are good!"
Ren Hong couldn't cry or laugh, he now understands why Yang Yun and Zhang Chang were able to pee into a pot, this Zhang Chang was polite when he first came, but a few horses peed on his stomach, and his original form was revealed.No, Zhang Chang will face the radish and show his Soma skills."
The ancients are good at horses, such as Han Feng's tongue, Ma Chao's cheeks, children's eyes, Wei Ji's beard, and Xu Contempt's Xiangjiri, not only as the Weiyang Palace Stable Order, but also one or two."
He pointed to the eyes of the radish and praised: "Eyes, big Ying big walk, small Ying small walk, Xi'an Hou this horse has big eyes, upright eye sockets, eye bones like triangles, eyes like hanging bells, purple light, really a good horse." ”Zhang Chang is very proficient in his position, and after talking about the horse's face, horsemane, and horse's teeth one by one, he will go behind the radish butt to see what it looks like underneath."
I'll come to Soma Jiri again, I'm the most proficient at this" The radish is ready to go, and he is going to kick this guy in the face with a hoof and make his head bloom!
Fortunately, Ren Hong grabbed Zhang Chang at the last moment and saved his life: "Zigao, enough, enough." ”Zhang Chang was really drunk, and he still couldn't stop the nagging in his mouth: "Xi'an Hou, this horse is still a chick, do you have a plan to breed?"
”"This" "Xi'an Hou rest assured!
”Zhang Chang grabbed Ren Hong's shoulders and said ambiguously: "I am the Weiyang stable order, and I am in charge of many strange horses of the Son of Heaven, such as Dawan horses, West Pole horses, and even resting horses Kangju horses. ”"As long as the Marquis of Xi'an enters the palace, he will hand over this horse to me outside the bus Sima Gate, and then choose a good horse, I will definitely make it worthy of a famous breed!"
Ren Hong couldn't cry or laugh, how could there be a feeling that a matchmaker was introducing a son-in-law, how could this kind of thing be too explicit, how could it be said in front of a girl!
He hurriedly pulled Zhang Chang, who was about to rub in front of the radish again, away from the stable: "Zigao, don't worry about this matter for the time being, let's go drink some sobering soup and talk about business with Ziyou, I still have to ask you about the Spring and Autumn Zuo clan." ”At this moment, the guests were almost gone, leaving only the drunk ones waiting for the family to pick them up, and Xia Weng was still sweating profusely.Ren Hong asked the slave maid to take care of Zhang Chang, pulled Xia Dingmao and said: "Xia Weng has worked hard today, when the people are finished, they will rest early, and the filth in the courtyard is messy, let others do it." ”These days, he runs to the Yang family every day, and the layout of the new home, the purchase of slaves and maids, and the preparation of banquets are all done by Xia Dingmao.Ren Hong also planned to follow Lao Xia's suggestion, send people to Wugong County, and invite his grandfather Ren An's old department and friend's son to be a doctor and other household officials."
Old decay is not tired."
Xia Dingmao was full of energy, he left Chang'an miserably, but now he followed the gentleman back to kill.The battlefield of the gentleman is in the court, and the battlefield of his old Xia is in the courtyard of the three entrances, between the banquet cups.Let the gentleman's guests eat and drink well, and let the reputation of Dunhuang Hanging Spring Cuisine spread throughout Chang'an with the fragrance of cumin, which is what Xia Dingmao has to do.Ren Hong was grateful and relieved, and said with a smile: "Xia Weng will soon be said to be the first chef in Chang'an." ”He also began to put the finishing touches on the feast and bid farewell to the guests who had come to say goodbye one by one.Among them is Xu Guanghan, this lowly old eunuch was able to enter the table today, although others cast a surprised and disgusted look, but Xi'an Hou personally toasted him a glass of wine, so that Lao Xu had a feeling of respect after many years."
Xu Weng Jiayuan, I'll send someone to send you back in person, Lao Han, do me a favor!"
After all, he just moved over, and there were not enough people, so Ren Hong could only use Han Dangdang, who was eating at his house, and stuffed the drunk Xu Guanghan into his arms: "Take Xu Weng home and watch him enter the door, don't lose!"
”Han Dangdang was also greedy for alcohol in the barracks, but today he and Shang Guanli's noble children had nothing in common, so they were still sober.But when Han Dangdang helped Xu Guanghan to walk out, he bumped into a few uninvited guests at the door."
You stupid slave, you don't have eyes?"
A reprimand sounded, but I saw a few big slaves with green curtains outside the gate of the Hou Mansion in Xi'an, led by a tall middle-aged man wearing an official uniform, although he was handsome, but his attitude was very domineering, it was Han Dangdang who almost hit him."
It turned out to be the general's family supervisor, Feng Zidu!"
Yang Yun was also helping Ren Hong usher in the send-off, seeing this, he immediately stepped forward to stop Han Dangdang, who was about to have a seizure, and asked him to go to do something Yang Yun is arrogant and arrogant, who can't be offended in Shangguan, but it is still clear that this Feng Zi is deeply favored by the general's wife, and everyone in the middle is walking around.And his shout, I don't know how many guests who woke up and were still indulging in the cup and the fragrant skewers, everyone was silent all of a sudden.Ren Hong couldn't help but be surprised: "The prestige of the general's family is so much?"
”He could only step forward and give his hand: "I don't know why the Feng family supervisor is here?"
”Feng Zi looked at Han Dangdang who was going away unhappily, and then looked at Ren Hong and said with a smile: "Naturally, I came to congratulate the Marquis of Xi'an on his housewarming on the order of his wife." ”For the Huo family, Ren Hong personally invited him, but the general was not at home, and the Huo family didn't even let him enter the inner courtyard, only this Feng Zi came to the door to deal with it, and he didn't answer the post.The implication is nothing more than that the general's family is like a bird, how can he get together with the birds?
Now that the banquet is coming to an end, how did the "Honghu" family supervisor come to the door.Feng Zidu didn't even bother to be polite, and directly explained his intention, it was actually the smell of roasted mutton roasted by Ren Hong's family before, which was transmitted to Huo's mansion across two alleys by the wind."
The general's favorite little girl has been eating a lot lately, but she smelled the meat of Xi'an's Houfu, but she had an appetite, and her wife didn't want to disturb the banquet of your mansion, so I was asked to come and ask Xi'an Hou for a cook's past, and cook meat for General Huo's little daughter."
Ren Hong hesitated a little, and glanced at Xia Dingmao, who had hammered his old waist for a while because of fatigue: "Xia Jiacheng is very tired today, can you do it tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?"
”Feng Zidu's smiling face immediately collapsed: "The little daughter of the general, but she hasn't eaten for a day, and she is hungry, can Xi'an Hou bear the responsibility?"
”I'll take care of your mother!
Ren Hong can be regarded as remembering who "Huo Guang's little girl" is in history, yes.He was angry, and said in his heart: "When Biansai was besieged by the Huns, the soldiers were so hungry that they ate Hulu meat, but there are still such picky and demonic ladies in Chang'an. ”"She doesn't have anything to eat, and it's my business if she's hungry or not?""
If you starve to death, it's a great thing for Liu Ai's family!"
Ren Hong suddenly laughed, he drank alcohol today, and was about to use the drunken madness to thank the guests, but Xia Dingmao hurriedly ran over and stopped Ren Hong's seizure."
Gentleman, I'm not tired, I'll just go."
Xia Dingmao knew that once Ren Hong laughed for no reason, he would definitely spray.But today is a big day for housewarming, and you must not cause trouble.He then approached Ren Hong and said in a low voice: "Gentleman, it is not easy for us to return to Chang'an, others can ignore it, but the general's family, you must not offend!"
”Shaoqing, Xia Dingmao, who successfully persuaded Ren Hong, had come to the door of Huofu, but he had to undergo layers of interrogation.Ren Hong was going to come over, but Xia Dingmao felt that the dignified prince was called by the Huo family's slaves.What's more, there must be a host in the house to take care of the guests.Feng Zidu checked what Xia Dingmao had brought, sniffed it, but sneezed violently."
What is this?"
He was like a great enemy.But a few days ago, Xia Dingmao and Ren Hong used benzocele, cinnamon, and star anise to make cumin spices, and today they used half of the lamb skewers and pilaf to make pilaf, and they brought several packets to Huofu."
It is a spice for roasting, called cumin, there is no one in Chang'an, only in the Western Regions, a bag is worth thousands of dollars" In fact, Xia Dingmao is more expensive, and the cost is only three or four hundred, and if the gentleman grows benzocelery near Chang'an, it can be cheaper."
Thousands of dollars."
Feng Zidu sneered: "The meals of Mrs.
Huofuli, gentlemen, and ladies, which meal is not worth 10,000 dollars, what are you still doing in a daze, take it off!"
”Xia Dingmao didn't understand, and stood at the small door of Huo Guangfu in a daze, a little stunned."
This is the rule set by the lady, and the soldiers and citizens who want to enter the General's Mansion must be exposed for examination to prevent the Sang family from leaving the party."

Xia Dingmao really had a long insight: "I haven't heard that the gentleman has entered the palace like this, entering the general's mansion is stricter than seeing the emperor?"
”Feng Zidu asked a few maids to "help" Xia Dingmao, and Lao Xia hurriedly waved his hand: "I'll take it off, I'll take it off." ”It was the late autumn season, and the sky was getting a little cold, Xia Dingmao took off all the short strips of his outer robe, revealing his body that had been out of shape due to old age, and his hands were covered underneath, trembling.Feng Zidu even asked the guards at the door to check Xia Dingmao's mouth, armpits, and even the backyard.Huo's green silk servants whispered, and even sneered, and they didn't know what they were talking about.This is the most moment in Xia Dingmao's life, even though he was a slave in the past, he met a good master and treated him very well.When he was in Dunhuang County, he relied on his tenacity, and he was neither humble nor arrogant to survive those days, and the gentleman treated him as his own uncle, and today he suffered this great humiliation.But as soon as I looked up and saw the word "Huo", the annoyance in my heart was quickly deflated."
The gentleman has just returned to Chang'an, the general's house, you can't offend!"
Huo's Mansion is very large, several times the size of Xi'an Hou's Mansion, but many of them are tightly closed, and it can be seen that the family rules are very strict.Except for the crying and noisy coquettish sound of the girl in the inner room.Xia Dingmao was directly brought into the kitchen, and dozens of cooks from Huo Mansion were waiting here, looking at him with unkind faces, Xia Dingmao could only smile at them awkwardly."
Which is the best place for you to grill lamb?"
Feng Zidu asked him so."
Lamb hind leg meat.""
Which piece of the hind leg?"
A cook in Huo's Mansion asked Xia Dingmao with a fresh leg of mutton.Xia Dingmao pointed out, so the cooks and servants of Huo Mansion all mobilized, slaughtered and skinned sheep at a fast speed, slaughtered dozens of sheep in one bite, bleated and bleated through the mansion, and cut off the hind legs and sent them over, picked the best bit of meat and cut it into pieces, and marinated it according to Xia Dingmao's requirements.Then he showed off his skills with the grill he had brought from home, and it was no different from ordinary barbecue, until Xia Dingmao sowed the cumin powder like the finishing touch, and everything was different.It is naturally impossible for a noble lady to come to the pickling kitchen, and the meat skewers that are enough for five adult men to eat are brought into the hall one after another, and after about a moment, they are brought out again, and Xia Dingmao glimpses that there is already less than half a person's volume, and breathes a sigh of relief.Then, those skewers that were not completely cooled were thrown to a few Hu dogs raised in the yard to eat, and the Huo's slaves and maids stood next to them and swallowed their saliva, although it was not their own meat, but Xia Dingmao also felt a little painful when he saw it."
The lady said, it's not bad."
Feng Zidu said with a smile: "Xia Dingmao, that's what you call it, right?"
From now on, you will stay in the General's Mansion and work as a cook!
”"Feng Jiajian!"
Xia Dingmao has endured the humiliation until now, and when he heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up and said: "Feng Jiajian, I am not a slave, I am the official of Xi'an Houfu, three hundred stones!"
”Feng Zidu remembered the identity of the other party at this time, and his face was unhappy: "Will Jia Cheng cook at the banquet?"
”Xia Dingmao calmed himself down and smiled again: "Xi'an Hou just moved here, a small family, few people, no way, it's not as big as the General's Mansion, there are many people!"
”Feng Zidu nodded, and after going in for a while, he came out again, raised his chin and said, "Madam said, a little Hou Mansion family can compare to the slave of the Huo family?"
You just have to do it well, make the lady happy, and be rich and prosperous in the future!
”Even if I am promised a daughter, Naigong will not come!
Xia Dingmao didn't want the gentleman to come forward to have a grudge with the general's family, so he could only try to solve the trouble by himself at this time, and deliberately spread his hands and said in the earthy dialect of his hometown in Shu County: "To be honest, the old man from my county, where is there any cooking skills, just relying on spices to add color, the general's cook, is not countless times stronger than me?"
”"That's true, Shu people, what good dishes will they make?
I've learned how to roast him, but I'm missing this spice. ”The cook of the General's Mansion hurriedly asked for help, in fact, the reason why Feng Zidu went to the Xi'an Hou Mansion so late was because the cook of the Huo Mansion volunteered to roast it, but no matter how it was concocted, it did not have the kind of fragrance that the lady smelled.So Feng Zidu changed his mind and began to ask Xia Dingmao for the recipe for cumin.Xia Dingmao spread his hands: "I have to ask Xi'an Hou for the formula, I am only responsible for roasting, I don't know at all, if the general wants the formula, the general's son and nephew can come forward to ask Xi'an Hou." ”Feng Zidu was furious when he heard this, he heard the meaning of Xia Dingmao's words, which meant that if the General's Mansion sincerely requested, the recipe could be discussed, but if only one family supervisor Feng Zi was sent to take it, the portion would not be enough!
Although he Feng Zidu is a slave of the Huo family, he relies on the general's strength, who is disrespectful in Shangguanli and even in the entire Chang'an City?
How dare this old man talk back?"
Tie up, hit!
You have to ask!
”Xia Dingmao really has seen a long time, and I still remember that when passing by Maoling, the gentleman was still expecting that there might be a conflict between the noble slaves and so on, but they passed it safely.Unexpectedly, when he entered Shangguanli, he thought that he was surrounded by decent neighbors, but he encountered this kind of thing in the General's Mansion.The Huo slaves were about to make a move, but there was a shout outside."
The general has arrived!"
As if hearing the emperor's edict, everyone knelt down, their heads were deeply on the ground and did not dare to raise them, and as the doors of Huofu opened one by one, a small secretary walked over, he walked very slowly and steadily with every step, and his expression seemed to be thinking about something.Huo Guang completely ignored what happened in the courtyard, and seeing that he was about to walk over, Xia Dingmao hurriedly shouted: "Xi'an Hou Jiacheng is not guilty, please spare the general!"
Hearing the three words Xi'an Hou, Huo Guang stopped and turned his face.In the moonlight, it was a plain-looking face, except that the eyes were a little open, there was no feature, and there was no half wave in the eyes."
What?"
Feng Zidu wanted to talk nonsense, but as soon as he raised his head and was swept by Huo Guang's gaze, he lost his courage, only knelt on his knees, crawled over like a dog, and trembled and didn't dare to speak.And Jia Cheng, who had been watching coldly in the courtyard, came over at this time and whispered softly in Huo Guang's ear."
Stupid woman!"
Huo Guang's unchanged expression finally fluctuated a little.General Huo Da is not good for women, not good for money, only interested in power, he served by the side of the violent and ruthless Emperor Xiaowu for more than twenty years, and never made a mistake.The scourge of witches, Wei's is finished, he, as a member of Wei's relatives, is unharmed, and the holy grace is even better than usual!
This is a miracle in the eyes of the world.After taking power, Huo Guang not only used ruthless and simple methods, but also took one step at a time to see three steps, and always laid traps for his political enemies in advance: Sang Hongyang, Shangguan Ji, Gai Zhu, Yan Wang, and Che Qianqiu, and then smiled and watched them step in.In a few years, he killed all his opponents and took over the power of the world.In terms of domestic and foreign affairs, the world that almost collapsed in the last years of filial piety was governed steadily, and there was no shortage of people who shouted "Zhou Gong is alive".In the eyes of outsiders, he is a perfect person with no weaknesses.But only this Mrs.
Huo is Huo Guang's lifeline!
She is the only person Huo Guang who is helpless, and always does things that make Huo Guang annoyed and helpless.This lady Xian once sent someone into the palace to take charge of her granddaughter Empress Shangguan, ordered all the palace maids to wear poor clothes, and strictly forbade them to have sex with the emperor, so that the thirteen-year-old Empress Shangguan would be favored.Huo Guang was speechless about this.It really doesn't distinguish between the important and the serious, and it is completely unclear about big and small things, family affairs and state affairs.But after all, it's his own wife, can he still take a break?
However, recently he found that his youngest daughter Huo Chengjun's temperament is becoming more and more similar to his wife.Thinking of this, Huo Guang had a headache, he had to be ordered by Emperor Xiaowu, to assist the young master, to carry the burden of the whole world, and to sleep at night, lest something go wrong.But when I returned home, I had to endure these trivial things.Huo Guang finally let all the emotions disappear on his face, asked Jiacheng to pick Xia Dingmao up, and said lightly: "Xi'an Hou Jiacheng, it's my house slave who is ignorant, let you be wronged, don't be surprised." ”Then he waved his hand: "Give him some reward money and let him go back." ”"Tell Madame!
In the future, if Cheng Jun wants to eat roasted meat again, he will send someone to prepare a gift and go to Xi'an Hou Mansion to ask for advice on how to concoct it, and as for the spices, he is not allowed to ask for the recipe, so he will directly pay to buy it from Xi'an Hou and buy it at double price!
”"Don't let the world think that my Huo family is domineering!"
When the small door behind him closed, Xia Dingmao found that he had broken out in a cold sweat.He looked back at the word "Huo", and his heart palpitated, and on the way back, Lao Xia was in the gutter, and threw the reward given by Huo's mansion into a whole piece of gold cake, and spat fiercely.When he was about to get home, he saw a figure waiting anxiously outside, and when he saw Xia Dingmao, he trotted over: "Xia Weng, are you okay?"
”It was Ren Hong, who just drank a bowl of sobering soup, Ren Hong sobered up a little, and regretted more and more that he agreed to let Xia Dingmao go to Huofu.At this moment, he was pacing anxiously, if Xia Dingmao didn't come back, Ren Hong would take Han Dangdang to the door to find it."
The old man just went to burn a few skewers of meat for the general and the little girl, what can he do?"
Xia Dingmao smiled heartlessly as if nothing had happened, just like many years ago, when the gentleman was scared by the wind and sand of Dunhuang and cried, he patted Ren Hong's hand to comfort him."
Don't worry, General Huo's family is very polite, treat me very well, very good!"
