I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Today is a private banquet organized by the Prince's Mansion of Runan County.

In name, it was Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao's reception banquet, but in fact everyone knew that it was Runan County King Zhao Yunrang making an apology for his daughter.

Firstly, he made the king of Yanjun wear a "green hat", and secondly, he failed the good intentions of the officials. If the banquet is not held, the officials will remember him for the rest of his life.

Zhao Yunrang sincerely invited Zhao Zhen and the queen to come.

Concubine Han accompanied Zhao Yunrang to entertain distinguished guests in the front hall, while Gao Taotao and the other daughters-in-law were busy inside and out.

The banquet was coming to an end, the guests were satisfied, and the host was exhausted.

Gao Taotao rested his feet for a while in the corridor, beating his waist, showing a tired face.

Zhao Zongshi hastily left Tang Xuan behind, strode over and supported her, "You should also learn from those sister-in-laws and be lazy."

Gao Taotao rolled his eyes at him, "Are you teaching me how to play tricks?"

Zhao Zongshi chuckled, "How could it be a cunning trick? This is just the right amount of wisdom. You see, you have worked so hard, which makes them so mediocre."

"Is it still my co-author?"

"Who said that? I'll beat him."

Gao Taotao punched him, "Come on, if you really love me, then help me with the rest of this big job."

Zhao Zongshi bowed his body jokingly, "Although madam tells you, Zongshi will obey you."

Gao Taotao glanced at the East Nuan Pavilion, "I saw that the officials and the empress drank a lot of wine. If I go back to the palace directly, the smell of the wine will dissipate and I will drink a cool breeze on the way. I'm afraid it's not good. It's better to warm the room first. Get up, rest for a while, drink some sober soup, and leave before it's too late."

When Zhao Zongshi heard it, he immediately accepted the joke and took it very seriously, "It's still Madam who is considerate, and I will do it myself."

"That's what you said. You have to 'personally' arrange the table, table, footstool, bedding, and charcoal stove. You are not allowed to ask servants to do it."

"Of course." Zhao Zongshi smiled, turned around and left.

Seeing her walking away, Gao Taotao gradually suppressed his smile and asked, "Is the arrangement ready over there?"

The servant girl nodded, "Don't worry, Junjun, everything has been arranged according to what you said, and Yuegui should be leading her there right now."

Gao Taotao sat down leaning against the railing, and said slowly: "Then let's wait here!"

The servant girl paused for a moment, puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand, why don't you just use medicine? The current move is too gentle. If she doesn't fall into the trap, won't she just leave for nothing?"

Gao Taotao gave her a sideways look, "If she really doesn't fit in, I'll really give her a high look. I just gave her a choice, and I didn't intend to harm her. Why, you really treat me as a fool to wait for you Is she a villain in the back of the house?"

The servant girl wasn't too scared, she just smiled and said: "This slave is vicious, so I can't stand her frivolous appearance, I wish she could lose face."

"Look, you don't even look down on her, she's not even worthy of warming Qiuqiu's bed!"

The maid puffed her face, and muttered softly: "Then you can take Mr. Thirteen in, I don't love my brother so much as you do."

Gao Taotao sneered, "Don't you all say that I'm jealous? How about showing them the 'benefits' of a concubine's room."

The maid blinked and suddenly understood.

Dare to love kills two birds with one stone!

Gao Tao pursed his lips, his eyes were full of majesty.

The little maid immediately stood in awe.

Lord Jingzhao, indeed Lord Jingzhao!

Not long after, there was a sound of yelling and cursing from the warm pavilion in the east, mixed with the crying of a woman.

Gao Taotao walked over unhurriedly, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Fan Xuan'er lying on the ground, half undressed, crying so much.

The officials, the empress, Zhao Yunrang and his wife were all there, and the expressions on their faces were all wonderful.

Zhao Shizong was heartbroken, "I said, I don't take concubines, it has nothing to do with Taotao, I think it's troublesome, I don't care about it, I can't handle it! If I come here every day, how can I live?"

Han didn't dare to give an explanation, so he could only go on and say: "It's okay, if you don't accept it, don't accept it. It's my unnecessary action, and there will never be any more in the future."

Zhao Yunrang also repeatedly apologized.

Zhao Zhen looked like he ate a fly.

When he is blind?

Can't tell that the woman is Fan Xuan'er?

He nodded angrily at Zhao Zongshi, and walked away.

Zhao Zongshi looked terrified and chased after him respectfully.

Before going out, he saw Gao Taotao and gave him an unprecedented stare.

Gao Taotao made a dazed and innocent expression, turned his head and stuck out his tongue at his back.

Tang Xuan saw everything in his eyes.

He looked at Gao Taotao, hesitant to speak.

Gao Taotao took the initiative to raise his chin at him, "Don't thank me too much, I'm just trying to test your thirteenth brother, and that woman happened by the way."

Tang Xuan knew that this was not the case.

If she really wanted to test it out, she would not wait until now, nor would she choose such an occasion at the risk of offending her elders.

"In two days, brother Nan and I will treat sister to hot pot."

"That's the deal!" Gao Taotao smiled handsomely, turned around to appease Han Shi.

Funing Hall.

Zhao Zhen was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs ached.

"I used to point out that she really loved Xuan'er, and she did not hesitate to block the knife for him, but now it seems that sincerity is worthless, it is better than a title surnamed Zhao!"

——Yesterday the seduction failed but was broken, Fan Xuan'er gritted her teeth, and simply put what she said to the officials, "Adore Tang Xuan, and want to give Tang Xuan a monkey" to Zhao Zongshi, and said it again.

But Zhao Zhen was disgusted.

dirty.

My Xuan'er was dirty.

Still he gave a hand!

Just annoyed, he saw Tang Xuan come in with a file in his hand.

The female assassin of the Qianlong Sect failed to seek death, so she was escorted to the Imperial City Division by Tang Xuan, and all of them were recruited.

——Who was her upline, how did she get into the criminal department, what did she say to Fan Xuan'er, why she wanted to "assassinate" Tang Xuan, she recruited every word.

Not only did Fan Xuan'er's "sincerity" become scum, but also a group of hidden stakes were involved to assist the assassin in carrying out his plan.

Zhao Zhen was really sad.

Leaning on the imperial case for a while, I didn't slow down.

Tang Xuan originally prepared a hundred sentences, trying to solve the matter once, so that Zhao Zhen would never be a matchmaker for him again.

However, seeing Zhao Zhen's exhausted appearance, Tang Xuan swallowed the draft he had written.

He didn't say anything, he just helped Zhao Zhen to sit on the dragon couch and poured him a cup of tea.

Zhao Zhen took his hand to drink, and sighed long: "Xuan'er, it's daddy's poor vision that made you feel wronged."

"No..." No matter how guilty Tang Xuan was, he would not tell the truth stupidly, "It's because I don't like women myself, so please don't bother the officials."

Zhao Zhen stared into his eyes and asked: "You don't want to marry a woman, is it really to avoid suspicion?"

Tang Xuan didn't avoid his gaze, and said firmly: "If I really want to lead the Tang family army, no matter whether I have heirs or not, I can get the Tiger Talisman. Why have I ever cared about others' fear or suspicion?"

"Yeah, you've had ideas since you were a child." Zhao Zhen couldn't help but twitched his lips when he thought of the past.

Tang Xuan knelt and sat in front of the couch, he couldn't help being moved, "Official family, you love me, is it because I have blood from the Zhao family?"

——He no longer calls himself "Chen", but "I", indicating that this is a dialogue between father and son, not a monarch and minister.

"Of course not." Zhao Zhenhu lowered his face, "You entered the palace at the age of four, from the time you were a head of the regiment to this age, I have personally done all the big and small things, and my heart for you is a little bit more than that girl Fukang. "

Tang Xuandao: "I will not be hypocritical to you just because I am not your flesh and blood. I only treat you as my own father... From this point of view, it doesn't matter if you have any children or not. ?”

Zhao Zhen was silent.

He admitted that he was persuaded by Tang Xuan.

However, the concept rooted in his bones still made him unable to calmly agree to this shocking marriage.

After Tang Xuan left, the queen came.

Zhao Zhen glanced at her, and said angrily: "If you come to see my jokes, please go out and turn left, and walk slowly."

The queen suppressed her temper and laughed, "The officials misunderstood, and I just suddenly felt that since Xuan'er likes that young gentleman surnamed Si, it's better to let them go."

Zhao Zhen was so surprised that he even forgot to be angry, "Didn't you still say yesterday, 'The majestic county king has an affair with a man, which really ruins the dignity of the royal family'? Why did you suddenly change your tune today?"

——Of course it was Gao Taotao's persuasion!

Gao Taotao's words made Queen Mao Sai suddenly enlightened.

It would be great for Tang Xuan not to marry a wife and have children!

With no heirs, there is no need to worry about the "hereditary" Tang family army, let alone fear that he has evil intentions!

Seeing that the Zhao family's foundation has become more stable, the queen is refreshed and comfortable, and she talks more with Zhao Zhen.

"I have thought about it for the past two days, and I think that Mr. Si, surnamed Si, was born well and smart. He made great contributions at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so it would be appropriate to assign him to Xuan'er."

"If you want me to say, it's better to give them a marriage earlier, so as not to cause some ignorant bees and butterflies to rush up and affect the intimacy between your father and son."

Zhao Zhen was still very angry about Fan Xuan'er's matter, but after hearing what the queen said, he seemed to be healed all of a sudden.

He felt that the queen was worse than him!

They're all fools talking to themselves!

The two "foolish old fools" chattered for a while, which made the officials vent their depression and made them feel much better.

Tang Xuan went back and forth, carrying some favorite food of officials.Hearing the excitement in the hall at this time, he couldn't help but stop.

When the emperor and empress were young, their relationship was not good, and the official family had other loves. The empress wanted to be strong and refused to give in.Both are very good people, but their personalities don't match, their words are not speculative, and half a sentence is too much.

At this time, they were talking, laughing, and fighting, and they looked a little sweet.

The so-called "young couples come to accompany each other when they grow old", this is what they are talking about!

Zhang Mao said softly: "Won't the county king go in?"

"No, please take good care of the official family...and the empress." Tang Xuan handed the things to Zhang Maoze, turned and left.

The steps are obviously much lighter.

Zhang Mao looked at the various snacks in the food box, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In the past, the officials bought food to coax the county king. In the blink of an eye, it was the county king's turn to coax the officials.

Really big!

They are also old.

***

Fan Xuan'er didn't make any big mistakes in the first place, after all, it's not a crime to be stupid.

Seeing General Di's face, the officials thought they would let her go after the private salt case was over.

But she was greedy herself, so she designed Tang Xuan together with Qianlong Sect's mortals.

If it wasn't for Wei's begging, he would have been exiled for three thousand miles.After all, it is a fact that she colluded with the thieves of the Qianlong Sect, and it is not an exaggeration to convict the country as a crime.

Seeing Wei crying pitifully, the officials softened their hearts, and changed the "exile for three thousand miles" to work as a handyman in another palace in Xijing.

Thank you so much, Mrs. Wei hurriedly wiped away her tears, went home and packed three big bags of food, and dragged her exhausted body back to the prison to visit Fan Xuan'er.

She never expected that Fan Xuan'er's deep hatred would greet her.

In just three days, Fan Xuan'er seemed to have changed into a different person, with unkempt hair and eyes full of hatred, she was no longer the docile and pleasant appearance in Wei's mind.

She vented all her grievances on the only person in the world who really loved her——

"Don't pretend to be kind anymore! As long as you show some kindness to me, I won't end up where I am today!"

"My mother hates you, and I hate you too!"

"If it wasn't for you, it would have been my mother who married General Di back then, and I would be the upright daughter of the general's mansion, let alone a mere county king, even the prince is worthy!"

"Look at the husband's family you chose for me. If it were your own daughter, would you be willing to match her with those warriors?"

"..."

One sentence was more vicious than one sentence, and one sentence was more cruel than one sentence, which shocked Wei's family to the point of collapse.

Cao Guo was ruthless and did not stop.

That's good too, let Wei Shi see Fan Xuan'er's true face, and save you troubles in the future.

Fan Xuan'er has always had her eyes above the top, and never puts ordinary people in her eyes, let alone servants?

But now she has become a "lowly" slave, which is more unbearable than killing her.

She thought about killing herself and leaving a clean name.

After trying several times, I dare not die after all.

Just like Cao Guo said, let her go to the other palace in Xijing to enjoy the days without the protection of the general's mansion. Hunger and bullying will teach her to be a human being.

Wei Shi came out from the Ministry of Punishment, in a trance.

She is really sad.

In the past, she regarded Xiao Wei as her own sister. Knowing that she likes fabric jewelry, she was reluctant to bear it, but she opened her mouth and let her use it.Cao Guo mentioned it several times, saying that Xiao Wei's intentions were not righteous, seducing the general, and she even scolded Cao Guo.

Xiao Wei's family died, so she regarded Fan Xuan'er as her own daughter. Among the families she introduced, which one did she ask repeatedly and come to see her in person?

Wei asked herself, even her own son, she had never cared so much.In the end, he got a "fake kindness" evaluation!

Not only sad, but also motion sickness.

I got out of the car so uncomfortable, and supported the wooden pillar to calm my mind.

A handsome little lady came by, her eyes were black and bright, flickering, so cute.

"Did Madam faint in the carriage? Just happened, I bought some candied hawthorns. The little brother said that this is the first batch of new fruits that their village received this year. It's sour and sweet, anti-sickness and relieves tiredness."

Zhao Lingxi smiled and handed the paper package to Wei Shi.

Wei looked at her with a good eye, as if seeing a little fairy.It wasn't until Zhao Lingxi ran away bouncing around that she still hadn't looked back.

"Caoguo, go and ask, what kind of young lady is this? If she is married, if I can get her to be Saburo's wife, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life!"

Cao Guo covered her mouth and smiled secretly, "It's too late, I promised him earlier."

Wei Shi was disappointed.

Cao Guo covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

I won’t tell you, but this is our new Lord Erlang’s Yong’an County Lord!

When she first got engaged, Fan Xuan'er said a lot of bad things about Zhao Lingxi in front of Wei Shi, Wei Shi believed it, so much so that she had a lot of bad feelings for Zhao Lingxi, and she didn't even want to see her.

—Actually, I saw it when I was a child.

It's just that Zhao Lingxi was dark and thin back then, like a pitiful little girl, but now that she's a girl, it's hard to recognize without looking carefully.

Zhao Lingxi didn't recognize Wei Shi either.

Xu'er, on the other hand, took a look at it from a distance on the day she received the tea ceremony, and remembered it.

"Master, that is the mother of General Di Shao, your future aunt."

Zhao Lingxi's smile froze, "Is it too late for me to get the hawthorn back?"

Don't let Di Dahu think that she is flattering Wei Shi!

Xu'er glanced at the carriage of the Wei Mansion going away, and said ruthlessly, "I'm afraid it's too late."

Ah!

Zhao Lingxi was very annoyed.

"Master, instead of regretting, it's better to cheer up and win the Major General."

Correct!

She made an appointment with Di Yong for a cockfight, and agreed that whoever loses will be treated to hot pot.

She has ordered ten meals!

Di Yong must be invited this time!

"go!"

"Go win the chicken!"

Zhao Lingxi was full of fighting spirit and went on a date, oh no, to get revenge.

Hot pot restaurant.

Sinan and Tang Xuan are treating Gao Taotao and his wife to hot pot.

Zhao Zongshi had a cold face the whole time, while Gao Taotao lowered his posture, gently serving and rinsing the dishes, coaxing them with a smile.

Si Nan looked at it with his eyes and thought, Sister Tao Tao is really a god, no wonder she was hailed as "Yao Shun among women" by later generations.

Her character is decisive and has clear goals. She dares to take risks and even make sacrifices in order to achieve her goals.For example, this time, in order to make the officials completely give up, even their own husband was willing to sacrifice.

She is also upright enough not to use unscrupulous means in order to achieve her goals, and to protect her weaknesses, and she is sincere and open enough to people and things.

Such people, no matter men or women, are always convincing and willing to follow.

What is commendable is that she can also use the advantages of women very wisely, act coquettishly, pick up a dish, and coax others with soft words.

Zhao Zongshi still had a cold face, making it clear that he would not accept her.

Taking advantage of the time to adjust the minor ingredients, Tang Xuan called him out and sincerely apologized.After all, it was because of him.

Zhao Zongshi smiled and said, "You still don't know me? You've already stopped being angry, but you can't let go easily. Doesn't she like playing tricks? I'll play tricks on her too."

Tang Xuan was puzzled, how could a husband and wife still play tricks?

Zhao Zongshi gave him a look of "Sure enough, she's still too young", "With your sister's temperament, if you don't hold back a little bit, she won't be able to turn upside down tomorrow? With me protecting her, she will turn upside down. I'm afraid that in the future One day, I won't be here... I'm afraid she will be wronged."

Tang Xuan was silent for a moment, and said: "It's okay, there is still Zhongzhen."

Zhao Zongshi: ...

It was not comforted!

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

There is no need to say anything superfluous.

After eating, Tang Xuan and Sinan didn't ride horses, but walked side by side on the long street, talking unhurriedly amidst the fireworks on the street.

Sinan sighed: "The thirteenth regiment is a person with great wisdom."

Tang Xuan nodded, "When I was in the academy, many people liked Sister Taotao. Brother Thirteen was not the best one, but Sister Taotao chose him."

Si Nan said: "This shows that Sister Taotao has vision."

Tang Xuan turned his head to look at him, "What about you?"

Si Nan looked at him, his brows and eyes were curved, and he was full of smiles, "I have more discernment than her."

Tang Xuan also smiled, and raised his hand to help him tighten the belt around his neck, then down the cloak, and gently held his hand.

The long street is brightly lit, people come and go,

Worried that Si Nan would not like it, he carefully pulled off his cloak to cover the hands he was holding.

The next moment, he was thrown away by Si Nan.

Not to shake off his hand, but to shake off the cloak.

Si Nan clasped his hand, raised it up, and shook it carelessly, with a flamboyant and dazzling smile in his eyes.

Tang Xuan also laughed.

Just like this, the boy who led him was walking in the crowd dignifiedly.
