The dishes of the Imperial Concubine Banquet are widely praised, because they are obviously different from the previous banquet dishes. Both the presentation and the taste are amazing. Some aristocratic family officials who often eat palace banquets will eat it as soon as they eat it. This is not a food bureau. What I did, I specifically asked which one was hosting the banquet this time.

Maoming Tower is now in the limelight.

And Tong Shaoqian, as the real chef and manager of Maominglou, became famous in Boling because of this imperial concubine banquet.

There was an endless stream of old gourmets who came to Maominglou specifically to make friends with her, and some important family banquets of wealthy families also came to her early, wanting to book her to host the banquet.

Tong Shaoqian hasn't gotten used to the famous life for a while.

In the past, she hid in the back kitchen and worked diligently to cook. When new dishes were to be served every season, she and Tang Jianwei discussed it together. In fact, it was just such a small matter.

Although as a chef, I don't feel much pressure, and I don't need to meet and deal with guests.

And this time, all the customers came for her name, so it was impossible for her to hide from people.

This is a great thing. Tang Jianwei accompanied her to discuss family banquet business at first, and when she was able to negotiate skillfully on her own, Tang Jianwei would be able to retire.

Tong Shaoqian even joked about this: "Aren't you afraid that my wings will grow hard, and you will set up your own house and leave your Maoming building alone?"

Tang Jianwei was really not worried: "Sister, don't you always feel that life has no backbone? No matter how much money you earn, you always feel that something is missing. Maybe what you lack is the freedom to do whatever you want. Don't give it to me. Too much pressure and limitations.

"Now that Maoming Building is planning to open the third floor, we can't hold Maoming Building in our hands forever. We are getting older, and it's time to start looking for successors.

"At this time, the people who come to the door to learn from teachers are full of shadows. We can screen together and choose a young apprentice who is smart and capable. When we have cultivated the young apprentice to maturity and can be independent, we can let go of all the property. Go out, farm and grow old in peace."

"Why does it sound like you treat Maoming Building like a cat or a dog, and you can throw it out casually. Don't you worry that if you take in a bastard apprentice, you will lose all the property accumulated by generations of talents of your Tang family?"

"What does the third sister mean?"

"Naturally, it is more reliable to pass it on to my family."

"Third sister, do you mean to pass it on to the next generation?" Tang Jianwei said, "But third sister, you also know that in addition to acquired diligence, talent is also very important in cooking. Our family is overwhelmed by the elder sister's uncanny craftsmanship. I'm afraid The children of this difficult generation may also be affected. If they are all people who don't know salt and sweet, and don't know how to distinguish between bitterness and bitterness, if we don't accept disciples in advance, then it will destroy the foundation left by our ancestors .”

When the elder sister's craftsmanship was mentioned, it was like being scratched. Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoqian couldn't help giggling together.

By the way, I reviewed all the incredible "food" tastes that the eldest sister has ever made.

Just as she was staggering from laughter, she suddenly heard the elder sister's voice coming from behind:

"What are you talking about, so happy."

The two of them looked back and saw that Tong Shaolin was holding Lu Fan, who had a swollen belly, and they were walking towards them from the other side of the garden.

Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoqian screamed at the same time, and immediately left each other arm in arm.

Tong Shaolin: "...At first I hadn't thought about it in that direction. Seeing this as a guilty conscience, these two bastards must be talking ill of me."

After all, Lu Fan is a martial artist, even if he is about to give birth, his posture is taller than that of ordinary pregnant women.

Lu Fan said: "What else can I say, it must be about your cooking."

Tong Shaolin snorted softly: "The bastards think my cooking is unpalatable, but I just don't cook it for them. I will cook it for my Xiaojun in this life."

Together with Tong Shaoqian, Bai Erniang was also famous for the imperial concubine banquet.

Anyone who has seen the eldest princess at the imperial concubine's banquet will remember her unforgettable gorgeous dress, with extremely bold, outstanding and exquisite color matching.

Those noble ladies who like to fight for beauty in the future have asked whose handwriting it is from.

Wei Ci was very satisfied with Bai Erniang's service, and also intended to help her build momentum, and specially brought out her paintings at a certain gathering, and praised her a few words.

For a while, Erniang Bai's talent spread throughout the capital.

The noble ladies who came to ask her for makeup almost smashed the threshold of the Tongfu, and the few paintings she consigned were snatched at high prices. Here, I want to discuss with Bai Erniang about consigning painting scrolls, or even directly entering the painting workshop.

This was completely beyond Bai Erniang's expectation.

She had never experienced such a battle since she was a child, but Tong Shaoxuan followed Ye Niang and her eldest brother back to Angzhou, so she went to Tang Jianwei to discuss it.

"Having a ride with the Tian family is a great thing that ordinary people can't wait for in a few lifetimes." Tang Jianwei said, "Since it is the opportunity given to you by the eldest princess, don't be polite, you can make as much famous as you can .This is your talent, Ah Bai, and it is not stolen. Your talent finally found the opportunity to be known to the world. Don't waste it in vain."

Bai Erniang has always felt that Tang Jianwei lived a transparent life, not only with a good brain and success in whatever he did, but also with a real insight into the truth.

In the mortal world but not vulgar, he has an exquisite heart with seven apertures.

Tang Jianwei responded to what Bai Erniang said, followed her instructions, and asked Tang Jianwei to give her a decent name.

Bai Erniang said: "I, Yeniang, have never studied, and I don't recognize big characters. I'm used to calling me Erniang all the time, so I'm sure I can't come up with a decent name. Sister Tang and Changsi treat me well, let me live I've been bothering you at Tongfu for so long, and you still take my affairs to heart. I will definitely repay you in the future. Now I have to trouble Sister Tang, please give me a name that people can call me. "

Their family Ananda's name hasn't been named yet, but Bai Erniang has to make a name first.

When Tang Jianwei looked at Bai Erniang, he felt like looking at his daughter.

Originally, this matter should be left to Tong Shaoxuan. Isn't it easy to just name it after reading a lot of books?

However, Tong Shaoxuan was sent out by the emperor with a word, and followed Ye Niang back to Zu County to visit his eldest grandson and grandmother.Tang Jianwei had to stay at home to take care of the business and take care of Ananda, and the two had to endure dozens of days of separation.

That's right, Tang Jianwei gave it the name.

The next day Tang Jianwei wrote three words to Erniang Bai.

Bai Erniang spread out the paper and wrote "Bai Zhaochu".

"Yi was born at the beginning of ancient times, and was born in Haoqiong. Your name is Bai Zhaochu, and the word is Zipan. This is the beginning of your life. I hope this name can make you feel energetic and everything goes smoothly. No matter what you meet in the future No matter what, I hope that you have the courage to start again, and the courage to walk thousands of rivers."

Bai Zhaochu looked at these three characters and liked them very much.

"Thank you, Sister Tang, for giving me the name!"

She wrote a letter back to Su County, telling Ye Niang that she got the name.

Wei Xi sent a group of soldiers to follow Tong Shaoxuan to Zhu County. On the face of it, the journey to the southeast was too far, fearing that Tong Shaoxuan would be targeted by bandits, he specially sent someone to escort him.

With the emperor's personal soldiers at his side, no one dared to approach.

Tong Shaoxuan understood very well that the emperor was not worried about her safety. After all, bandits were rare in He Qinghaiyan under the rule of Wei Xi, and she followed the official path all the way. Made a crime on the road?

But just because she was afraid that she would not report the truth, I sent an eyeliner over to find out.

Tong Shaoxuan is also quite helpless.

She took Wei Xi's salary, so she wanted to help Wei Xi share his worries, this is the duty of a courtier.She must go on this trip to Zu County.

But after all, grandma didn't want to go back to court, so she couldn't force her to do so.That's her grandmother who is related to her by blood. Naturally, Tong Shaoxuan couldn't bend his elbows.

Both ends are difficult, not very easy to handle.

Tong Shaoxuan thought, she had to understand her grandmother's real thoughts first, and then brought the eyes of these emperors to Zhu County to make a temporary play, which had to be arranged in advance.

Just halfway along the road, Tong Shaoxuan sent a quick letter to Xu County, and she should have received a reply in ten days after counting the days. Based on her footsteps, she should have arrived in Xu County, so she left behind the post station in Xu County address.

Ten days later, Tong Shaoxuan moved into the Xuxian Post Station, and he did receive a reply the next day.

This letter was written by Tong Changting himself. After reading the letter, Tong Shaoxuan was very flustered.

Quickly wrote two express letters and sent them back to Boling, and sent one to Tongfu and the other to the emperor directly.On that day, Tong Shaoxuan packed his bags and left Xu County, and rushed towards Zhu County.

……

Tang Jianwei wrote a letter of greeting and sent it to Wang Hongkuo's mansion, and the two met at the mansion two days later.

When Tang Jianwei saw Wang Hongkuo, he realized that he was much older.

In the past, when Aye was still alive, the prince would often come to the Tang Mansion, and every time he returned to the Tang Mansion, he would bring some fashionable snacks and gadgets to her and Aye, so she and Aye both liked Aye's mentor very much.

In Tang Jianwei's memory, Wang Hongkuo has a straight figure, a cold face, a thick and thick beard, which is well groomed, and is held in a small clip. He is full of elegance and elegance at any time , is the appearance of the most typical civil servant and sage in Da Cang.

But seeing each other after a few years, Wang Hongkuo's body was a little hunched, his temples were covered with white frost, and the wrinkles on his face and messy and dry beard made Tang Jian feel slightly sad.

Speaking of the changes in the past few years, Wang Hongkuo lamented and thanked Tang Jianwei.

He also knew that if it wasn't for the young Prime Minister of Dali Temple to protect him this time, he might have been imprisoned by now.

When Tang Jianwei saw Wang Hongkuo, he felt that Aye's shadow was around him.

As Wang Hongkuo's favorite student, Tang Shizhan not only inherited Wang Hongkuo's knowledge and courage, but also was deeply influenced by his bearing and conversation.

When Tang Jian was in a trance, he always had the illusion that he was talking with Aye...

"Why does the prince need to apologize, the affairs of the royal family are my duty, Tang Jianwei. Now that I, Aye, is gone, I should be my filial piety for him."

Wang Hongkuo and Tang Jianwei looked at each other with tears in their eyes, talked a lot, and even introduced Tang Jianwei's peers to her.

Wang Hongkuo said: "You young people are the pillars of the Great Cang. In the future, you need to move around frequently and help each other. Don't let that friendship become weaker."

As soon as Tang Jianwei came back from Wang's house, he received a quick letter from Tong Shaoxuan.

She thought it was the love letter that Anian missed her so much, she opened the letter and looked at it, her face turned pale as soon as she glanced at it, she immediately took the letter and opened the door to find Tong Shaolin.

Yesterday, Fenghua Palace.

Wei Xi was about to come to Fenghua Palace and didn't make an appointment in advance, got off the imperial chariot, held the small porcelain vase with the dragon pattern on the black bottom in his hand, and carried another red vase. Smile, go inside.

Just as the servant followed behind and was about to declare his driving, he heard a burst of laughter from Fenghua Palace. It seemed that there were quite a number of people, and they were all women's voices.

Wei Xi raised his hand to the servant, signaling him not to speak, and walked in softly with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he walked to the front of the courtyard, he heard a burst of lively and charming applause.

"Oh--Lieutenant Tong Xiao is so good!"

"This sword dance is dazzling!"

"Yeah, Xiaowei Tong is so handsome."

Wei Xi: "..."

The servants also noticed that the nymphomaniacs here are all harem concubines, there are fifteen or sixteen of them.

Among the crowd, Tong Shaozhuo was wearing a smart leather jacket with a fur collar, a silver crown on his head, and a long pendant inside. This is the most fashionable attire for both men and women in Boling City, and it makes people beautiful .

A wooden sword in her hand shook so that people's eyes hurt. Just now, she pointed the sword at the sky, and without looking at it for a moment, she turned around and stabbed fiercely, directly cutting the pear hanging in the air behind her in half.

The skirt was still swaying in the air, and the pear had already landed.

There was another burst of shy and timid laughter and praise, babbling, which completely darkened the servant's face.

When the concubines flocked to Tong Shaozhuo's side, the servant finally couldn't take it anymore and spoke up.

"The saint arrives—"

This cry made the concubines' legs weak in shock, and they knelt all over the courtyard.

Tong Shaozhuo saluted immediately, without any panic of making a mistake, seeing Wei Xi with a bright smile.

Because there were too many people in the courtyard, Tong Shaozhuo didn't have the nerve to call "Sister Wei" in front of everyone, and followed the frightened concubines to call "Your Majesty".

Wei Xi didn't respond to anyone, glanced at Tong Shaozhuo, and said to her, "Lieutenant Tong, come in."

"Here." Tong Shaozhuo hastily followed in.

The door of the sleeping hall was closed, and the concubines raised their heads to look in the direction of the door.

"Everyone, go back quickly." The servant persuaded in a low voice, which literally means - before the emperor is angry, you should go back quickly with your still warm heads, and watch!

……

At the bedroom pass, only Wei Xi and Tong Shaozhuo are left.

Tong Shaozhuo didn't expect Wei Xi to come today, he was a little overjoyed, put the wooden sword aside, cleaned his hands, and wanted to go forward to get close to Wei Xi.

Wei Xi threw the porcelain bottle to her.

"This is?" Tong Shaozhuo opened the cork and smelled the strange fragrance coming from the bottle.

"Didn't you ask me for it?" Wei Xi sat on the bed and started to loosen his collar.

"Ah?" Seeing her entering the room, Tong Shaozhuo tore off her collar, revealing a section of white and tender snow skin, and a wave of heat immediately surged from his heart to his head.

"I, did I ask His Majesty?"

"forget?"

When getting along with Tong Shaozhuo in private, Wei Xi was rarely so serious and cold.

Tong Shaozhuo was so shocked by her Ling Ran's aura that he didn't dare to move, his mind was even more pale, and he didn't quite understand.

"The minister asked His Majesty, isn't it, isn't it that?"

Wei Xi's Ruifeng raised his eyes and looked at her: "I'm lucky to spoil you."

Tong Shaozhuo's face turned red all of a sudden.

She looked down at the small porcelain bottle again.

Wei Xi helped her clear up the confusion: "It's filled with Yulu pills."
