Wuxinin.Yesterday evening, when he received the news that the Wu patriarch had been pardoned, Zhuge Yi was not surprised, and Li Haitang smiled.The news spread throughout the mansions of the eight major clans, and the women who were trapped in the back house were all surprised.Like a farce, it is surging at the beginning and silent at the end.Li Haitang didn't sleep all night, and it was really annoying that Qingluo, Yang Yan, Li Yan, and Liu Chuniang were noisy in her ears, and even Wu Yinling, who was usually silent, was indignant.Taking advantage of the good spirits, she urged Chef Liu to make soup and take it to Wuxin Courtyard to accompany Zhuge Yi for breakfast.In Mo Yuxuan's small tea room, Qin Wucai, who came in the dust, sat down and was hungry, and Zhuge Yi had no choice but to hand him the soup in his hand.Li Haitang silently gave his soup to Zhuge Yi.Qin Wu drank the bowl with one hand, and said with a smile: "I don't eat for nothing, is this thing a good gift?"
”From his arms, he took out a piece of Hetian's mutton fat jade, the size of his palm like a sachet.Li Haitang held it in his hand and carefully inspected the carving, double-sided arched box lid, one side of the dragon carving and one side of the phoenix pattern, and the edge was fixed with a golden hoop."
The emperor's old man's reward?"
Zhuge Yi recognized at a glance that this jade hollow incense ball was a tribute from the ruthless city lord of the Western Regions.The first empress loved this thing very much, and tried to ask the emperor for rewards several times but failed to do so.Unexpectedly, the emperor generously rewarded Begonia, it seems that the old thief king has not returned the jade seal, and the emperor's dragon anger has not disappeared."
Why did the emperor reward me?
I didn't send the jade seal back, it's strange. ”Although Li Haitang liked it, he felt that he was useless, so he returned the jade fragrance ball to Qin Wuye, "Please send someone back to Beijing to send it again." ”Qin Wu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You stupid girl dare to return the emperor's reward, aren't you afraid that he will cut off your head by the holy decree?"
”"Don't be afraid."
Li Haitang smiled sweetly.The emperor's reward is very good, but after taking the reward, he has to do errands for the emperor.She is not capable, so the person who is sent is Zhuge Yi."
How can the emperor's reward be taken back, if you like it, take it with peace of mind."
Zhuge Yi picked up the jade hollow aromatherapy ball, and squinted at Qin Wu, "Say, who is the emperor calculating." ”"The whole town of Porcelain."
Qin Wu added a bowl of japonica rice porridge for himself, sandwiched two small pickles, and ate it slowly.Li Haitang is curious, why is the emperor Lao'er interested in Porcelain Yuzhen?
There are many better places in the world than Ciyu Town, and even Qishan Town and Yanxia Town are better than Ciyu Town.Zhuge Yi knew the emperor's plan well, and said with a warm smile: "He, who is suspicious all day long, will die in the hands of his own people sooner or later." ”Qin Wu smiled but said nothing, and continued to fill his stomach.Li Haitang looked at Zhuge Yi and then at Qin Wu, wondering what kind of dumb riddle they were playing, why couldn't she understand it?
The sliding door was pushed open, and the boy Xiaozuo stood outside the door with a prayer post, and announced: "Master, the patriarch is here to visit." ”"Patriarch, please, come here.Then make more meaty and greasy meals. ”Zhuge Yi let Li Haitang and Qin Wu have breakfast with peace of mind, and he got up and went to Mo Yuxuan's door to greet him.The boy Xiaozuo took the order.After a while, the patriarch strode with Xiao Zuo, holding a delicate food box in his right hand.Zhuge Yi stood inside the door and saluted respectfully: "I've seen the patriarch." ”"Haha, Zi Boxian's nephew is exempt."
The patriarch laughed heartily, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Zhuge Yi's shoulder, and then entered the house.This unruly behavior made the lurking guards pinch their cold sweats, and secretly sighed that the patriarch was bold enough to dare to hug his master.You must know that Ling Eighteen, Qin Wu and Ghost Hand Leng Yan have known Zhuge Yi for many years, and they don't dare to be so presumptuous.In the small tea room, Li Haitang and Qin Wu had already put the dishes they had eaten into the big food box, and the table had been wiped clean.Only three pairs of clean chopsticks and three celadon bowls were left as clean as new.Fortunately, there are many masters in Mo Yuxuan, and before Zhuge Yi and Patriarch Dian came in, they sent the secret guards to the kitchen to get unused dishes and chopsticks to hide people's eyes.Zhuge Yi invited the patriarch into the small tea room, and the patriarch was so happy that his mouth opened open.He was the first of the eight patriarchs to be invited into the Mo Yu Xuan.Seeing Li Haitang kneeling on the edge of the couch and cooking tea with his own hands, Qin Wu was reading an ancient book, and the patriarch took a half step back with a little nervousness, and the exquisite food box in his hand almost fell."
Patriarch be careful!"
Zhuge Yi held the food box in time and reminded gently.The patriarch said embarrassedly, "Well, I'll pay attention."
This food box was originally given by Uchiko to the daughter of Feng Xian to taste.When I just went to the Pavilion, I learned that Feng Xiannu came here, so I brought it with me. ”Li Haitang got up and thanked him, holding the fine food box and licking his cherry lips like a greedy cat, "Mrs.
Dian's cooking skills are the best among the patriarch's wives."
I often hear Mrs.
Yan praise the pastries cooked by Mrs.
Dian, and compare the shortbreads of Yuanxiangzhai in Yanxia Town. ”The patriarch scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled innocently.He rarely heard others praise his wife, and now he felt a little shy to hear it with his own ears.In fact, he is very confident in his wife's cooking skills, but unfortunately there is no one else who appreciates it except him.1 Zhuge Yi's reaction to the patriarch is in his eyes, this is a kind man who knows how to be grateful and loved, and he is a person who can be trusted.Qin Wu got up and saluted the patriarch and said goodbye to each other."
Let's have breakfast with the Patriarch."
Li Haitang poured a cup of cooked fragrant tea and sent it to the patriarch, and poured two more cups for Zhuge Yi and Qin Wu.The patriarch sat down, immediately took out a secret decree of the golden thread of Shu brocade, and said: "Zi Boxian nephew, after the emperor orders me to read the secret decree, it will be delivered to you immediately.I didn't have time last night, so I sent it early. ”"What are you afraid of if the patriarch puts it for a few more days, and the emperor hasn't sent anyone to keep an eye on you."
Zhuge Yi took back the secret decree, put it together with his unopened secret decree and handed it to Qin Wu, saying, "Go to the capital after breakfast, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”"Well, that's what I thought."
Qin Wu wiped his hands with a wet towel, took the two secret decrees and put them in his arms, and patted them through his clothes, "The emperor is thinking too much, I'll go back and teach him a good lesson for you." ”"Okay."
Zhuge Yi replied with a smile.The patriarch's face was slightly stunned, and he cautiously asked, "Is the emperor Lao'er going to destroy our eight clans?"
”"Huh?"
Qin Wu was surprised.Zhuge Yiguan'er corrected: "It's not to destroy the eight major clans, but to take back Ciyu Town." ”The patriarch nodded in agreement, his upright temper made him unable to hide what was in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "Hmph!
I knew that trees were big moves.Porcelain Yuzhen is a piece of fat in the eyes of the emperor, how could he miss the opportunity. ”Zhuge Yi and Qin Wu quietly exchanged glances, and they had a different understanding of the honest and honest patriarch.Looking at his usual recklessness and roughness, I didn't expect his great wisdom to be hidden in his heart.Li Haitang finally knew what the "dumb riddle" before Zhuge Yi and Qin Wu was.It seems that Emperor Lao'er is worried that Zhuge Yi's domination of the wealth of the eight major clans in Ciyu Town will endanger his dragon throne and his country.() Glory to the end
