Fierce “Husband”

Jiang Kangchen, who didn't know what earth-shattering events happened in the Wang Mansion of Xiushui Village, immediately asked to meet the Queen after returning to the capital. When he learned that he was back, the Queen immediately summoned him. Jiang Kangchen came to the Queen's Jingyou Palace and brought several large boxes with him. Jiang Kangchen knelt down and kowtowed: "Caomin sees the queen Qiansui."

"Get up, give a seat."

Jiang Kangchen stood up, and the queen looked curiously at the boxes on the ground and asked, "What did you bring?"

Jiang Kangchen bowed and replied, "It's the New Year's gift that Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an asked me to bring to the Queen. In addition..." Jiang Kangchen hesitated. The Queen made her hand, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace immediately stepped back, leaving only one close father-in-law who was the same as Eunuch An.

Jiang Kangchen said: "After returning to the king, Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan will donate all the 3,500 taels of gold they have earned to Dai Zhanxiao, Dai Xiaojun."

"Oh?!" The Queen was surprised and even sat up straight, "Why do they donate so much gold?"

Jiang Kangchen said: "Wang Shijing used to be a centurion under the command of General Dai. He said that General Dai always loved the corporal, that General Dai was kind to him, and the border guards were extremely hard-working. He always missed Dai Xiao very much. The general and his friends in the army. Now that he has money, he wants to repay the small general. For this reason, he and Shao Yunan also suggested to the queen to establish a 'relief fund'. The money contributed will be used to help the orphans, the disabled soldiers, the fallen soldiers, etc., to help those who need help. This is what you think about the preparation and operation of the 'relief fund', please take a look at it later."

When Jiang Kangchen said what the so-called rescue fund was used for, the queen was already very interested. What Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan did once again broke his understanding of those two. In particular, the huge sum of money from the two of them was donated to Dai Zhanxiao, and the queen from the Dai family had a lot of goodwill towards the two of them.

The valet, Eunuch Zhuo, took Jiang Kangchen's performance and handed it to the queen with both hands. The queen first glanced at it quickly, and her face was already full of interest. After Jiang Kangchen closed the memorial, he continued: "On this matter, Jiang Kangning, the magistrate of Yongxiu County, Cen Yue, the head of the Yongxiu county college, and old Bai Cen, and the president of Baiyue College, Kang Ruikang, all discussed it together. It is feasible, and should be presided over by the descendants of the king. In addition, I and others discussed the feasibility of my further economic development in the Wang residence, and this is a petition."

"economy?"

The queen is very curious about this new term. Jiang Kangchen handed over another thick memorial. The Queen smiled and asked, "Cen is also celebrating the New Year in Xiushui Village?"

Jiang Kangchen immediately said who was there to celebrate the New Year, and the queen asked: "Then Kang Rui has some impressions, but he is the son-in-law of the censor of Zuoyu?"

"Exactly. Dean Kang is a student of Lao Cen and is now the dean of the academy run by Lao Cen."

"I see."

The queen did not read the memorial, but said with satisfaction: "Old Cen is not in the court, but still cares about me, Dayan. You and others are also thinking of the court and sharing your worries for the emperor. I am very relieved. Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan was so righteous, and this monarch took it on behalf of the general Zhanxiao. On another day, this monarch will send someone to personally send the gold to Huxingguan. Regarding the righteousness of the two of them, this monarch will also honor the emperor and serve them both. People ask for merit."

Jiang Kangchen immediately said: "The queen is a thousand years old, the two of them said that they don't want any reward, and the two of them are willing to donate the gold, one for the kindness of the general Zhanxiao; two for the emperor and the queen to share their worries; three, It is also their little heart as my big swallows."

The Queen nodded again and again: "Their heart was taken by me, and I also took it for the emperor."

Jiang Kangchen opened the box containing the gold and showed it to the queen. 3600 taels of gold, a total of 70 ingots, one is not much and one is not much. There was a smile of approval on the queen's face.

Then, Jiang Kangchen opened the rest of the boxes one by one. These are the New Year goods (gifts) that Shao Yunan brought to the emperor and the queen, the two great patrons. There are three large boxes full of fresh vegetables, seven large bottles of Guyuan paste, homemade rice wine, rice wine, glutinous rice wine, different flavors of peanut and melon seeds candies, etc.

The smile on the queen's face deepened, and she said, "The dishes that they sent a few years ago, Jun and the emperor liked them very much, and they always felt more delicious than the dishes in the palace. It just so happened that they had finished eating the dishes, and they sent them again. these."

"Back to Chitose, Shao Yunan said that you should not eat the remaining Guyuan paste, eat these fresh ones. These wines are also brewed by Shao Yunan himself. He said that the queen drank two or three cups a day, which is also good for the body. "

"He has a heart."

The Queen stood up and walked up to look at the boxes of gifts that were bland to outsiders, but he felt a different kind of concern.

"Zhuo Jin, you take half of these wine, glutinous rice grains and these snacks and snacks and send them to the emperor, and the rest, except for the Guyuan paste, give half of them to the palaces."

"Yes."

The Queen picked up a wooden box, opened it, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Thousands of years after returning to the king, this is 'Mahjong', a game that four people play together, and Shao Yunan thought of it. Give it to Jun Shi to have some entertainment in his spare time."

"Oh?" Jun later became interested, "Can you?"

"Caomin knows a little bit, and I just learned it."

The queen returned to her seat and sat down, and said, "You are tired all the way back to Beijing. I won't leave you alone for now. After you go back and rest for two days, you will find Anze. After you are done with this mahjong, you will enter the palace. Come and teach me."

"Yes. The Caomin retire, the Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old." Jiang Kangchen knelt down and saluted, got up and was ready to retire.

At this time, the queen suddenly said: "You can do things with peace of mind, and don't be disturbed by certain people and things."

Jiang Kangchen raised his head and glanced at the queen, and nodded in confusion in his heart. He didn't dare to ask what the queen meant, so he withdrew. As soon as Jiang Kangchen left, Zhuo Jin said: "Thousands, in case, he is willing to return to the Duke's mansion..."

The smile on the face of Qi You, the descendant of the king, was put away: "Then he is not worthy of the king's reuse."

Drokin nodded. Dai Qiyou immediately laughed again: "The emperor complained to Ben Jun yesterday that the dishes in the imperial kitchen are not delicious, not as sweet as Xiushui Village. Today, Shao Yunan brought the dishes. Quickly bring these dishes to the imperial kitchen. , ask them to fry two dishes for the emperor first, and the emperor didn't eat a few bites of his lunch."

"Yes."

"The rest of the Guyuan paste from last time, the ones that haven't been opened yet, you should send them all to the General's Mansion."

"Yes."

Zhuo Jin called for someone to come in and remove the box that should be removed. The queen held two thick memorials and entered the inner room with the box of mahjong tiles.

As a man, as an aspiring man who once fought decisively on the battlefield, Dai Qiyou never thought that one day, he would enter the depths of this palace and become one of the concubines of the king's harem. Dai Qiyou deeply loves Emperor Yongming Murong Kun, and he is also embarrassed and distressed about it. He has his own ambitions, but he falls in love with the most unlovable person in the world. For that person, he gave up his ambitions, even his own health, willingly took the fruit of pregnancy for that man, willingly stayed in the harem for that man, and was never free.

Deqiyou is lucky. His hard work paid off. He got the most rare love and deepest affection from that man. That man regarded him as a treasure. Even if his body collapsed and he could not bear children, the man still loved him deeply, never left him, and even cherished and loved him even more. But deep down inside, Dai Qiyou became more and more uneasy. This restlessness comes from the fact that he can no longer help the man to consolidate his country, and from the fact that he cannot leave a child and half a daughter for that man.

Emperor Yongming handed over the business of tea and wine to Dai Qiyou, one is to trust him, and the other is to find something for him to do. Emperor Yongming, who loved his queen deeply, didn't know that he wronged this person. This person should be flying freely on the battlefield or in the courtroom, not locked in a deep palace doing nothing. Since the tea and wine business started, Dai Qiyou is indeed busier than before, and his mood is much better. He can finally do some things to share his worries for Emperor Yongming. At this time, he looked at the memorial about the "relief fund" in his hand, and his blood boiled again. This strange-sounding thing aroused great interest in him.

"The Emperor is coming—"

Dai Qiyou returned to his senses, put down the memorial, stood up happily, and walked out to greet him. As soon as he walked out of the inner room, he met Emperor Yongming who was walking quickly. Dai Qiyou saluted with a smile: "I see the emperor."

"Your Majesty, Mo Duoli." Emperor Yongming supported Dai Qiyou with a smile on his face, "I heard that Jiang Kangchen came back with some interesting things, I asked them to bring the food to Jingyou Palace, you accompany you I eat."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Show me what interesting things Jiang Kangchen brought."

Dai Qiyou smiled and said, "Your Majesty might as well have eaten the meal first and then look at it. I am afraid that the Emperor will not care about the meal after seeing it."

Emperor Yongming laughed: "It must be the most interesting thing for the queen to say that. Good! I listen to the queen, and eat first!"

Emperor Yongming took the queen's hand and pulled him to sit down, and said on behalf of Qiyou, "Zhuo Jin, go and take out that box of mahjong."

"Yes."

Emperor Yongming was curious: "Mahjong?"

"Jiang Kangchen brought it back and said it was a plaything, but I haven't seen it yet."

Emperor Yongming was interested: "Show me quickly."

Zhuo Jin came out holding the mahjong box and opened the box in front of Emperor Yongming and the Queen. The mahjong tiles Shao Yunan gave to the backer must not be casual. Like the Rubik's Cube, he gave a set of pure crystal mahjong tiles. Just this material, Emperor Yongming and Empress Jun were very surprised. The two reached out at the same time and took out a card. Emperor Yongming looked at the 7 circles (seven cakes) on the card with curiosity. And the Queen's hand is a chicken, and he doesn't understand it anymore.

Zhuo Jin: "Your Majesty, Chitose, here is a piece of paper that seems to have written something."

The Queen reached out and took it, opened it, and saw the words at the top: [Mahjong Rules]. He glanced at Emperor Yongming, leaned over, and watched with Emperor Yongming.

This is the mahjong rules written down by Shao Yunan thoughtfully. To send mahjong to the backer, you must tell others how to play it. Shao Yunan wrote in great detail. Emperor Yongming and Empress Jun became more and more interested as they watched, and after they had finished watching, Emperor Yongming made a decision: "Old Weng and General Dai entered the palace, and they said that I have 'important things' to discuss with them, and I need two of them. People spend a few days in the palace."

The queen shook her head with a smile: "Your Majesty, be careful that officials refer to you."

Emperor Yongming immediately said righteously: "I have to find someone to help me think about such a novel thing. I can play, I am in a good mood, and I can be more diligent in political affairs. Isn't this a serious business? Besides, I am true. I have something important to discuss with the two elders."

The Queen laughed out loud, but he just said it casually.

When the food from the imperial pantry was delivered, Emperor Yongming dismissed the palace maid and eunuch, but Zhuo Jin did not stay. Emperor Yongming never liked to have others beside him when he dined in Jingyou Palace, and the people in the palace also knew the emperor's habit. Dai Qiyou prepared vegetables for Emperor Yongming and said, "The second son of the first son of the Marquis of Hengyuan went to Chinan Mansion. No accident, he went for the new tea and new wine. The minister heard that his subordinates were with him. Those two have some friendship."

There was a sneer on Emperor Yongming's face: "Who knows that I am so short of money that I can't even give out my salary. The Hengyuan Houfu has really eaten the guts of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dared to rob me of money. He really thought that I would not Dare to touch him Hengyuan Houfu!"

Dai Qiyou shook Emperor Yongming's hand: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, this minister will not let anyone steal your business. As for the Hengyuan Houfu, the Emperor can do whatever he wants, and the minister and the Dai family will always stand on the sidelines. behind the emperor."

Emperor Yongming held the Queen's hand backhand: "I know that no matter what I do, you will understand me and help me."

Dai Qiyou took out his hand and put the chopsticks into the emperor's hands: "Dinner first, I will tell you something you must be happy about."

"What?" Emperor Yongming "obediently" picked up the dish and ate it.

Dai Qiyou said: "Then Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing's husband, donated all the 3,500 taels of gold from the bonus to Zhan Xiao."

The dish in Emperor Yongming's mouth almost spit out, he swallowed it hastily, and was extremely surprised: "I heard it right? The two of them gave Zhan Xiao both 3,500 taels of gold?!"

Dai Qiyou nodded and said with an unexpected expression: "It's absolutely true. Jiang Kangchen brought the gold back. That Wang Shijing seemed to be a centurion under Zhan Xiao before, and he said that Zhan Xiao was right. He has kindness, he has money now, and he cares about the soldiers at the border, and he also wants to repay Zhan Xiao's kindness."

Emperor Yongming's first reaction was: "What can they ask for?"

Dai Qiyou shook his head: "No. The minister said that he wanted to ask the emperor to grant him a reward, but Jiang Kangchen said that the two of them were willing to do so, one to repay the kindness, the other to share the emperor's worries, and the third is that they, as my big swallows, did a little bit for the border. The power. Let's not mention whether the two of them are sincere or fake, just if they can give such a large sum of money, it means that the two of them can do great things. "

Emperor Yongming held the chopsticks silently, and after a long while, he sighed: "Even if it's a fake, it's better than those **** who only know how to touch my money but can't share my worries at all!"

Dai Qiyou comforted: "It will be fine. The Yan State will become stronger. Your Majesty, now there are Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing willing to share your worries, and in the future there will be more people like them willing to plan for me Dayan, and everything will be fine. of."

Emperor Yongming put away the anger that was suppressed in his heart, and showed a happy smile: "I believe in my queen. Come and eat, or you will get cold."

"Okay."

Dai Qiyou personally went to get the rice wine that Shao Yunan had paid tribute. After eating a bowl of rice, Emperor Yongming felt that it was not enough, and asked Dai Qiyou to serve him a bowl, saying, "The dishes that the two of them grow are better than those in the palace. I thought it was because I was greedy for freshness. Today After tasting it carefully, it is indeed different. Does the Queen feel the same way?"

Dai Qiyou nodded: "Indeed. Whether it's the food or the rice wine made here, it's better than the one in the palace. Those snack officials also like to eat it."

Dai Qiyou said: "The ministers gave some to other palaces. The emperor likes to eat, and asked them to send more often in the future. Our own shop made according to the recipe given by Shao Yunan is not as good as his own."

Emperor Yongming said: "I have to consider whether to announce them to Beijing."

"Wait a little longer. At least until the supply of tea and wine has stabilized."

"Yes, I listened to your queen."

Most of the delicious snacks in Emperor Yongming's hands were distributed to officials as rewards. Don't look at it, it's just some peanut candy. In ancient times when materials were extremely poor, these fresh snacks that even the emperor had never eaten could be used as a reward. Qi You, a descendant of the king, will also give these things to the General's Mansion, which shows how rare these things are. Although Shao Yunan provided the production method, but after all, he was not as skilled as his craftsman, plus the cheating Shenshui, what Shao Yunan made was naturally the best in the entire Dayan Kingdom.
