Conscientiously making soy sauce

Being locked up in the house is very boring. Fortunately, Zhuang Yuan has long been a habit of staying in the house. Taking advantage of this period of time, he just spends his days in the study and reads. His knowledge of ancient Chinese is not to say very high, but he has made great progress.And Uncle Liu didn't know if it was to make him happy, so he quickly went to the temple to ask for plain noodles. Zhuang Yuan didn't think about whether the emperor contributed to it.He took the list and discussed with the cook several times, tried several times, and finally came up with noodles with the same taste.

Although the world this time made him a bit bored and uncomfortable, it was more or less learned something, and this trip was worthwhile.In the next world, in addition to baking and some home-cooked dishes, he can also try making plain noodles.

"Young master, if the emperor comes here and tastes this taste, he will be delighted." The cook said beside him, "The emperor must have never eaten such delicious plain noodles."

"I ate this myself, how could I give it to him?" Zhuang Yuan was extremely indifferent, "He is the emperor, and he has never tasted any good food. How could it be rare."

The cook didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only change the subject, "What kind of cakes do you want to eat today? Master? Soup? How about white fungus soup?"

The housekeeper had already told them that during this period of time, the young master must not be allowed to go out, and the young master must not be bored. The news that is known by the streets and alleys outside is absolutely not allowed to enter the young master's ears.

Li Qi didn't know if he wanted to make Zhuang Yuan more obedient, so he gave a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and even rewarded a lot of silk and satin materials. The warehouse is almost full of boxes, and there is no more space. .

Having nothing to do, Zhuang Yuan asked Uncle Liu to call a well-known tailor in the capital to make some clothes.Maybe I was told at the beginning that the 30-year-old tailor was still a little cautious, but after a few words, I found that Mr. Zhuang had a good temper and a good personality, and he was quite kind to craftsmen like him. He looks very good, and when he smiles, he is like a spring breeze blowing across the water.The master also gradually forgot about restraint and started chattering.

The head of the house, the Li family, is short. Which adult married an outlaw and caused the grape trellis to collapse. Wherever there was any big news, they would all come together one by one, and they would all be delighted. A play was created by just one person, playing and singing. None.

Zhuang Yuan was also happy to hear it, and while sticking a small sugar cake in his mouth, he listened to the master's gossip.At this level, people will definitely be welcomed when they go out and talk about playing books.

And the servant watched and added some water and left.

After listening for a while, Zhuang Yuan's encouraging expression and sparkling eyes made the tailor's performance more and more extraordinary.Of course, he still remembered that his family came here to cut clothes for this exquisite and picturesque young master in front of him. He could tell when he touched the materials that ordinary people could not afford. What is it like, and this little boy can come up with a lot, many of them don't think so.And the house was full of earth dragons burning, he remembered seeing silver charcoal piled aside when he came in.

That thing, Mr. Wang's family can't show off if they have a little bit, and they even say that it was bestowed by the emperor, so they can't save it.Here, they were piled casually beside him, and the identity of the young master in front of him was definitely not something that a grassroots person like him could offend.If the son who can be coaxed is happy, he may get more rewards.

"Oh, by the way, although I have some material here, I don't have white." Zhuang Yuan took a sip of tea, his eyebrows and eyes were curved and beautiful, like the person in the painting, "help me make a white dress."

"White clothes? Is there a funeral for a relative in the house?" The tailor looked at the pampered young man in surprise, and then subconsciously looked outside.

"No, I just think the white clothes are chic, you can help me make a few." Zhuang Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, and the smile didn't catch his eyes. "Let's wear a few brocade robes and long robes, money is not a problem."

"It's... not very auspicious to wear on weekdays." The tailor hesitated a little, thinking that the young man probably hadn't been out of the house much, so he kindly reminded, "Normally, you don't wear it when you have nothing to do."

"Master, I can pay a high price. You can help me make some upper body, no dark lines, no embroidery, the piping is also white, pure white is fine, the style is also simple, don't be too procrastinating." Zhuang Yuan simply He didn't take it seriously, "Anyway, I'm the one who decides here, whether it's auspicious or not... I think it's just auspicious."

"Then, since the young master said, I will help the young master to make some clothes." Seeing that he could not refuse, the tailor agreed.

After seeing off the tailor master, Sun Dong went into the study, saw Zhuang Yuan lazily lying on the couch and didn't know what anthology he was looking through, he couldn't help asking, "Master, why do you want to make white clothes? This is really not good, no auspicious."

"It's chic, it's so chic and beautiful in white." Zhuang Yuan's mouth curled up, coldly.

"That's right." Suddenly, Zhuang Yuan put down the teacup, and said with slanted eyes, "I heard that the emperor wants to accept the concubine and open the harem? It is said that there is a lot of trouble. Why didn't you tell me about it?"

"Who said that?" Sun Dong's face darkened. The master said that he would keep this matter from Mr. Zhuang, and he must not be known.Who in the end had a ghost in his heart that leaked it to Mr. Zhuang, did he not want to live?If he were to know who said it on purpose, he would definitely make that person look good.

"Hey, why do you have such a long face." Zhuang Yuan was very unprincipled, shaking his leg up and down "The tailor said that many ladies in the government have to make clothes, day and night Too busy. Said that the clothes I want can only be postponed for a few days, please don't care. "

...It turned out to be a tailor.

Sun Dong was annoyed why he hadn't told the man in advance not to talk too much.Although they reminded them vaguely, both Sun Dong and Uncle Liu knew that Mr. Zhuang didn't like the current state, so they didn't tell the tailor about his identity.Who would have imagined that he would let him slip his mouth.

"Why hide it from me." Zhuang Yuan grinned, "The emperor always wants a concubine. Is it possible that he will never get married? Even if he wants to, those ministers don't agree. Now the whole capital is busy with this matter, you Say, will there be another draft? In this case, those women with outstanding looks will come to the capital. The emperor is really blessed."

"My lord, in fact, in fact..." Sun Dong was already clumsy, and now he didn't know what to say.

"Don't be afraid of what I'm thinking." Zhuang Yuan's smile was bigger and brighter, "You know what I'm thinking, so why would you be sad or messing around? The emperor should have his queen and his prince. I What is it? It’s just for fun. Or…”

He lowered his eyes and brushed off his sleeves, and said lightly, "It's just something he doesn't like."

"Mr. Zhuang, don't say that. The emperor doesn't treat you like this. If the emperor knows, he will be sad."

"Sad?" Zhuang Yuan raised the corners of his eyes, with a half-smile, "Stop joking."

"I saw that although the emperor said that he wanted to accept a concubine, he didn't see the intention of letting me leave. I will still be in the capital for about six months and a year, and the restaurant has also made some money. When the time comes, I will exchange it for a bank note and send it back to the town for me. Let's go. To save my family members from worrying about it, they will think that I am doing well after seeing these things."

After a few days, the selection of concubines has been decided. They are the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family and the second daughter of the censor's family. They are divided into four concubines.The prime minister's daughter is the first to enter the palace, and is already drawing up a title, which will be more honorable than the other three concubines.

It is said that the prime minister contributed a lot to the emperor's enthronement this time. In addition, the prime minister has been in business for many years, and half of the court is his disciples or disciples. Li Qi also wants to give him this face and honor.

Li Qi was very dissatisfied with the veterans who kept saying that he wanted a queen and a concubine every day, but he couldn't help these veterans' actions overtly and secretly, and they even joined with their disciples to write letters one after another. It is not good for Jiangshan.

But even if the concubine is accepted, Li Qi still insists on not making a queen for the time being.The empress is the official wife, the only person who can stand by his side, the only person who can be in the same mausoleum as him, the queen is the most honorable, and cannot be easily deposed, how can she just give it to others?

Mingming kept telling himself that Zhuang Yuan was just a plaything to him, how could he have an important position if he was so rough.But he ordered that no one should tell him that he was going to choose a concubine.

Rubbing his temples, putting down the vermilion pen, and impatiently pushing some papers arranged by the concubine to the side, he didn't care about the auspicious day, the process, and the arrangement, and he could just throw it to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, so as not to be an eyesore in front of him .

"He...how is he now?"

"Mr. Zhuang is fine, but he is just arguing to go out. He is so bored that he is about to get moldy." Xiao Dezi said cleverly, "It has been boring for so long, and the emperor's concubine will not end in a short while. After the ceremony, the capital will also I will still talk about the big event this time, if it has been closed like this, wouldn't it be closed for another two or three months? What will Mr. Zhuang think?"

"Hey" Li Qi took a sip of tea, "It should be boring, why don't you ask Sun Dong to accompany him out for a while? Don't go to the other place, let him go to the restaurant. Forget it, that place There are a lot of people, so I'd better find two quiet places, if it doesn't work, seal the place, don't let other people go in, lest he hear something."

"My lord, it's impossible to hide the matter of my lord's concubine from Mr. Zhuang forever." Xiao Dezi said, "Even if you don't say it now, Mr. Zhuang will know about it when the day comes. I think you are a smart man and won't say much." What."

"Won't you say more?" There was some dissatisfaction in my heart for no reason.He was about to get married, so Zhuang Yuan and Zhuang Zichu didn't care?Why doesn't he care?

I want to read the excerpts, but I don't know what I read after reading for a long time.That muddy rotten tree has such an ability to disturb his peace, in fact... In fact, accepting a concubine is not just for marriage, but also for the court, which has all kinds of secrets and tricks.

Just why would he really not care?

He is restless, knowing that there are still many things at hand, knowing that the wedding must be properly prepared, knowing how to arrange for the four concubines, and how to divide the four forces behind him if they win over, but he just wants to see Zhuang Yuan.

At night, Zhuang Yuan was lying on the couch and listening to the servants talking about some interesting things, his heart had already flown to nowhere.

"You are comfortable and at ease." Li Qi opened the door and saw a young man in a dark blue robe with no shape.

"Your Majesty." Zhuang Yuan turned over and knelt down numbly, "I don't know that the Emperor is here, please make amends for being rude."

"No, no, don't be so restrained in front of me." Li Qi picked up Zhuang Yuan casually, and led him to the edge without letting go.Seeing the books on the desk "What are you reading?"

"Biography of Liu Ji..." Zhuang Yuan said without changing his face, as if he was talking about the Analects of Confucius and Mencius.

"What?" Poor Li Qi has learned the emperor's mind since he was a child, and the four books, five classics and six arts are indispensable for everything.It's just that I have never come into contact with these love words and erotic songs, and I don't know what these scripts say.

"The storybook is about a certain scholar who went to a barren mountain and met a family. There was a lady named Liu Ji. The two met each other and eloped. Then Liu Ji took care of the housework every day and eloped away. The money supports her husband. When her husband wins the first prize, she also gets the royal title and returns home." Zhuang Yuan said plainly that he didn't even have a business store, and he said a good play was dry. "In the storybook It’s nothing more than these things. In fact, it’s just a story. If it’s normal, then the grandpa Chan Gong Zhegui would be favored by high-ranking officials, and then they’d dismiss his wretched wife as a white-eyed wolf.”

"Boring." Li Qi shook his head.

"But everyone loves to watch it, and you can pass the time by looking left and right. And many of them have been made into playbooks, and many people read them."

"You also like to watch." If Zhuang Yuan likes to watch, he can ask the theater troupe from the palace to rehearse for him.

Zhuang Yuan shook his head, "There's nothing to see, those babblings give me a headache, looking at them is not as comfortable as looking at gold and silver."

Li Qi already knew his nature of being a money fan, and he was no longer angry.He just asked, "You should be bored these days. By the way, if I want to accept a concubine, you..."

"The emperor's marriage is a big event, so the grass-roots congratulate the emperor. The empress must be a lady of the family, Lan Xinhui, a good-natured mother." Zhuang Yuan smiled flatteringly, "It's just that the grass-roots have served the emperor for so long. The news is also a bit uncomfortable, the emperor is going to compensate the grassroots in this way."

Li Qi didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, I saw that the house in the alley next door is not bad. I heard it belonged to the censor? Your Majesty, what do you think of me buying that house? I also like the shop next door, but the boss refuses to sell it anyway. Your Majesty You see?"

Li Qi's mood became worse again, this Zhuang Yuan obviously has a good face, why is his heart full of Aduwu's silver house?Does he have any sincerity towards himself?Even, doesn't he know how tiring and busy he is in presiding over the government and dealing with affairs every day?He even wanted to benefit.And the matter of accepting his concubine has no effect on him, and he can be so eager to ask for benefits.

"What are you? How can you compare with Yushi?" Li Qi said in a deep voice, "I will give you what should be given to you. But don't think about what is not yours. As long as you are obedient, I can give you what you deserve." You are many."
