The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

What's more, Zhong Wen still has his work to do, so he temporarily takes the place of Shadow and stays in the palace, just for some affection.

The first thing in the court meeting was about the Tubo Mission.

The controversy is still great.

But fortunately, there is no melee anymore, but everyone is thinking of ways to resist the Tubo Kingdom's counterattack or invasion.

……

But at this moment, the court meeting in the Tai Chi Hall is in progress.

However, Zhong Wen left Miyagi and went back to the County Marquis Mansion.

"Brother, where have you been these days?" As soon as Zhong Wen entered the mansion, Xiao Hua jumped over and grabbed the corner of Zhong Wen's clothes, looked at Zhong Wen and asked.

"I'm going to the palace. There are things in the palace that require me to stay there." When Zhong Wen saw Xiao Hua and Ren Zhu, the two girls probably had just finished their morning exercises, and their heads were covered with sweat.

"Oh, brother, we don't need to study today, can we go out to play?" After hearing Zhong Wen's response, Xiao Hua didn't care what Zhong Wen was doing.

Besides, she also knew that her brother had been appointed as an official.

In her cognition, if she was appointed as an official, she would naturally go to work. As for what kind of job to do, she probably didn't have much in her mind.

However, he is very interested in going out to play.

After reading the book for seven days, he must have been suffocated.

After finally waiting for Xiumu's time, she doesn't want to stay in the mansion, it's best to run around Chang'an City once, that would be enjoyable.

"I'll talk about this later. After breakfast, brother will take you into the palace." Zhong Wen touched the girl's head twice and responded, and then told Xu Fu who was standing not far away: "Xu Fu, prepare some gifts later, and also, make a box of egg custard, and fry a few lighter dishes."

"Good Taoist priest." After Xu Fu heard this, he hurried to the back kitchen.

Zhong Wen's words have already explained that these things need to be brought into the palace city, and they must be for the nobles in the palace to eat.

Xu Fu's mind was also simple, that is to make this dish better so that the nobles in the palace can remember this taste.

If there is a chance in the future, once the restaurant opens, with the publicity of the nobles in the palace, the business of the restaurant will inevitably rise to a high level.

As Xu Fu rushed to the back kitchen, there was a lot of movement from time to time, and he already knew that Xu Fu was going to show his housekeeping skills.

And this time when Zhong Wen returned to the mansion, he must have taken the two maids to the palace city.

I promised to do the matter of Empress Changsun, and I will definitely do it.

Besides, he never visited Empress Changsun.

Although it is inconvenient for him to go according to the rules of etiquette, it is naturally possible to take Xiaohua and the two maids with him.

This can be regarded as putting an end to other people's gossip.

In fact, how can anyone say gossip.

Is your official position as a permanent attendant a white seal?Which of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know what this position was for?

Besides, who dares to gossip?Do you think that little life can live a long life or something?

Even if Zhong Wen didn't care, the shadow might kill them.

"Brother, why are you going to Miyagi? I plan to take Xiao Zhuzi to watch juggling today. I heard from Xiaolu that there are some foreign people from West Market, and they are performing juggling there." After listening to Zhong Wen's words, Xiaohua Finally, pouted, expressing his protest.

"Okay, I often have it after juggling. Have breakfast first. After breakfast, I will take you to Miyagi." Zhong Wen was too lazy to talk to this girl.

Because Zhong Wen knew that as long as he talked, even if he had ten mouths, he couldn't talk about Xiao Hua.

"Hmph!" Xiaohua pouted and snorted.

Breakfast has already been prepared.

Three meals a day are practiced in the mansion, which is different from outside.

This started to fatten up the servants of the mansion one by one, and also made Ren Zhu's body gradually rounder, at least, much better than when he first came to Chang'an.

Soon after breakfast.

Zhong Wen held Xiaohua and Xiaozhu with both hands, followed by Xu Fu who was carrying food boxes and gifts.

Helping to carry the food box to the palace, Xu Fu would not leave such a thing to the servants. What's the matter, this is also an opportunity to gain knowledge in the palace, where is it the turn of other servants to come.

After walking for half an hour, a group of four arrived at the gate of Miyagi.

Without obstruction or inspection, Zhong Wen took the two maids and Xu Fu into the palace city in such a simple way.

After breaking into the palace, Xu Fu's eyes were no longer his.

It was the first time I entered the palace city, all of this happened so suddenly, and it was so lucky.

At this moment, he didn't have any words in his heart to describe his mood at the moment.

As for Xiaohua, she seemed to be lacking in interest, and she was still thinking about the debut of the Fanbang people in Xishi.

On the other hand, the quietest and most well-behaved one is Ren Zhu.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the four of them arrived at the gate of the inner garden, and were brought in after a while.

The inner garden is Li Shimin's harem, and it is difficult for people from outside to enter it. Even people in the palace cannot enter at will.

Even if it is a shadow, it will basically not go to the inner garden, let alone Zhong Wen.

Although it has the guard function of Miyagi, Neiyuan is Li Shimin's harem after all, and after going there, it is always inconvenient.

……

"The sage is well, the empress is well." After the group of four entered the inner garden, they were taken to a palace, and the four of them, Zhong Wen, greeted Li Shimin and his wife.

"His Majesty and Empress are well." Xiao Hua and the others followed Zhong Wen's example, bowed to Li Shimin and his wife, and said hello.

"Jiu Shou, this is Mei'er, right? She is such a beauty, and when she grows up, she will fascinate the world." When Empress Changsun saw Xiao Hua, she immediately began to praise her.

"Your Majesty, Empress, this is a dish specially fried by Xu Fu, the housekeeper of my house. I specially brought it here for you to eat, the Empress. The Empress is in poor health. It would be better to eat more light dishes, so I made my own decision. Come back." Zhong Wen didn't directly respond to Empress Changsun's words, but pointed to the food box in Xu Fu's hand behind him.

"Jiu Shou, you have a heart, come here, put it up, let the queen taste it." After Li Shimin heard this, before the queen could reply, he himself hurriedly ordered.

Zhong Wen didn't care, but Xu Fu was terrified.After he entered the palace, he saw Li Shimin and his wife, but the calf was not his.

And he didn't expect that the dishes Zhong Wen asked him to cook were for the current emperor and empress, and he thought they were for some noble person in the palace.

Chapter 386 A Family Gathering and Talking Heartfeltly

After the dishes are served, there is no so-called drug test, nor is there a so-called food test.

This was brought in by Zhong Wen, of course Li Shimin couldn't try any dishes in front of Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen really wanted to poison the queen, even the Li family, it was impossible for him to use such indecent tactics.

Besides, Li Shimin's trust in Zhong Wen is no less than that in Shadow.

Otherwise, even if Shadow left Chang'an, he would not dare to entrust the safety of Miyagi to Zhong Wen, and it would be impossible to get Li Shimin's approval.

"Jiu Shou, these dishes are really good, are they fried by this Xu Fu?" After tasting a few dishes, the queen asked Zhong Wen.

"Back to the queen, yes." Zhong Wen responded.

At this time, Xu Fu, after hearing the queen's praise, his heart was as sweet as honey, and he didn't know how to describe his joy.

Empress Changsun looked at Xu Fu, nodded, and then continued to eat a few mouthfuls.

However, Zhong Wen became curious about a baby girl held by a female official next to Empress Changsun.

Why?

Because even Li Gaoming, Li Qingque, and Li Zhi were not there, but such a little girl was left alone, which made Zhong Wen feel strange.

The little girl is not very big, probably more than one and a half years old, nearly two years old.

But after Zhong Wen thought about it, he realized that the little girl held by the female officer might be Princess Jinyang.

Because, when Zhong Wen returned to Chang'an, Jin Shui mentioned to Zhong Wen that Empress Changsun gave birth to a little girl at the end of last year, and this little girl was the youngest daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

However, at this time, Zhong Wen hadn't seen the little girl who was several months old, but he had seen this little girl who was over one year old.

Zhong Wen may not be very clear about other princesses and princes, but Zhong Wen knows a little about this little girl.

No matter how you choose the name of Princess Jinyang, Zhong Wen has heard of it in his previous life. Besides, she is Li Shimin's most beloved daughter, so how could she not know about it.

But at this time, the little girl in the female officer's arms kept staring at the dishes on the table, slanderous.

"Jiu Shou, let's go, walk with me." Li Shimin looked at a group of people standing here in the hall, it was really inconvenient, and said to Zhong Wenyan.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhong Wen then took Xu Fu, a big man, to salute the eldest grandson empress, and then left with Li Shimin, leaving only his little sister and little Zhuzi there.

……

After coming out of the palace city, Xu Fuyi showed his original tranquility, with a smile on his face forever, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

maybe.

For people like Xu Fu, life was okay at first, but after meeting Zhong Wen, from the ups and downs at the beginning to his current status, it can be regarded as a rising tide.

"Xu Fu, you should also marry a woman and have a baby. You are not too old, so there should be no problem." Zhong Wen said to Xu Fu as he walked forward.

"Master Dao, I really want to marry a woman, but I'm so old, and other people also like me." Xu Fu didn't want to marry, but he was afraid.

It can be seen from Xu Fu's face that it's not that he can't find it, nor does he despise it, but that he is afraid in his heart, afraid of remembering the past.

However, Zhong Wen really didn't want Xu Fu to just let it go, he had to have incense no matter what, even if he gave birth to a daughter, it would still be incense.

"You are limited to marrying a woman this year, so that you can pass on the family line, otherwise, others will say that I, Zhong Wen, have fallen for you. Remember." Zhong Wen turned to look at Xu Fu, and directly issued the so-called marriage order.

"Brother, why don't you marry? Auntie said that the Xu family sister is very good, why don't you listen to Auntie? If you marry the Xu family sister, maybe you are happy now." At this time, Xiaohua found something to do, and started talking about Zhong Wen.

"You little brat, what do you know, let's go, go to the West Market to watch juggling." Zhong Wen was really ashamed when he heard Xiao Hua's words, and quickly changed the topic: "Xu Fu, you go back first, oh, yes Oh, I forgot to mention, when I came back in the morning, I told Jin Shui to ask Jin Shui to pick up Xiao Zhuzi's family to Chang'an, and you have to clean up a few rooms and come out."

"Okay, Taoist priest, I'll go back and clean up." Xu Fu trotted away after hearing this.

"Father, are my grandmother and mother coming to Chang'an?" Little Zhuzi asked Zhong Wen with a little expectation in his eyes when he heard Zhong Wen's words.

"Well, I sent someone to pick it up. I should be able to arrive in Chang'an in a few days. The restaurant needs someone to take care of it. At that time, your mother will go to the restaurant to help with things. Your sister and brother will read some books with you." Zhong Wen responded indifferently.

There is no such thing as good or bad about this matter.

Zhong Wen asked Jin Shui to send someone to take over as Zhu's mother and the others came to Chang'an, firstly to reunite the family, and secondly to arrange a reliable starting position for his restaurant.

Although he is illiterate, with Xu Fu's help, he can be cultivated in the future.

It's not that Zhong Wen didn't think about it, and Xu Fu didn't have to run away if his master Yue Li's son was to help manage the restaurant.

But Yue Li was a literati, and so were his sons, so he gave up this plan.

No one is available, this is Zhong Wen's current situation.

That's why Zhong Wen thought about bringing Ren Zhu's family to Chang'an. Generally speaking, it was beneficial to himself, and it was also beneficial to his righteous daughter Ren Zhu.

"Brother, are Xiaozhu's family coming to Chang'an? When will you pick up Chang'an, mother and father?" At this time, when Xiaohua heard the news, she asked Zhong Wen, and there was a little something in her eyes. miss.

"Mum, dad, wait until I get things done, and then come to Chang'an." Zhong Wen responded.

My parents don't dare to pick up Chang'an for the time being, my business has not been settled yet, and there is still one of the three major sects in Zhongnan Mountain that has not been checked. He, Zhong Wen, is also waiting for Li Shan to report the news about Taiyi Gate.

The three of you said one sentence to another, talking while walking, and walked towards the West Market.

"Brother, do you know? When I was in the palace just now, the empress gave me this and Xiao Zhu one too." When she was about to reach the West Market, Xiao Hua took out a jade ring from her body.

Following this, Ren Zhu also took out a jade ring from his body and wanted to show it to Zhong Wen.

"Put it away carefully, and don't lose it." Zhong Wen looked at it and instructed.

The things that the queen rewards are not bad.

Moreover, there must be other meanings in it, otherwise, the two girls would not be rewarded.

"Brother, there's more, Sizi is very fun, even more fun than Xiao Wu, next time you take me to the palace when you take a rest." Xiao Hua said again after putting away the jade ring.

"Let's have a look." Zhong Wen responded without paying attention.

Entering the palace is easy for him, but it is definitely not good if it is too frequent.

Besides, how could he not know what kind of temperament his little sister was.

If this accidentally hurt Li Shimin's beloved daughter, this fruit will not taste good, so be careful.

After arriving at the West Market, there were still juggling, but it was coming to an end.

But fortunately, letting these two girls watch the Fanbang people's juggling once can be regarded as fulfilling their wish, and also solving Zhong Wentou's big troubles.
