Chapter 879: Striving to be the son-in-law of the Liu family
Xu Zengshou was still very angry, but he was still a person who knew the times and knew that his little arms couldn't twist his thighs.
In order to alleviate the population swelling, open up overseas, and solve the food problem, it was the consensus of the Son of Heaven and the cabinet.
Divide the feudal kingdom and establish a five-service system to solve the food shortage...... These three finally came together, and turned into a terrible torrent, rivers flowing, rushing in the face, and resistance was useless, so you could only obey obediently.
Xu Zengshou has one thing left, that is, how to choose a good fiefdom.
He thought about it, he thought about it, and felt that those people were all bad guys, and they were not reliable at all.
Who can help?
He thought about it and finally found a suitable candidate.
Xu Zengshou hurriedly ordered to prepare a wine banquet, there were not many dishes, it must be exquisite, and it was mainly based on Jiangnan taste, and he also made a lot of seafood, and finally he personally moved out a jar of Shaoxing flower carvings for 30 years.
"Yu Qian, look at these wines and dishes, are they still authentic?"
Yu Qian smiled and said helplessly: "Thank you Dingguo Gong for your trouble, in fact, I followed Master when I was very young, basically I ate whatever Liufu ate, and the hometown cuisine is really unfamiliar." β
Xu Zengshou shook his head, "This can't be done!" β
He said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Let me tell you, your master, in terms of eating, is actually very rough, far less delicate than our Xu Mansion. Now many of my chefs are better than the imperial chefs in the palace, you try this fried bean sprouts, you taste it carefully. β
Yu Qian said that there was something unusual about a bean sprout, but he still held a chopstick, and when he put it in his mouth, Yu Qian's eyes immediately widened!
Something is wrong!
Seeing Yu Qian's surprise, Xu Zengshou picked up a bean sprout and said with a smile: "You see that this bean sprout is so thin, the chef can still stuff minced meat into it, with this bit of meat, the taste of the bean sprouts is of course different." β
Yu Qian finally knew the difference between bean sprouts.
But he couldn't figure it out, how boring would it have to be to stuff meat into the bean sprouts?
Simply stir-fry bean sprouts with shredded meat, isn't it fragrant?
Not only is it fragrant, but it's also fresh, and the devil knows how much time is wasted by stuffing meat!
"Dingguo Gong, you are indeed extraordinary here, but it's a pity that you are not used to eating late." Yu Qian said very straightforwardly.
Xu Zengshou was not angry, he smiled, "Put the dishes aside, and then taste the wine." He took the initiative to pour a cup, Yu Qian took it in his hand and took a sip.
"I only feel that the wine is fragrant and mellow, if there is more, I can't say it!"
Xu Zengshou laughed, "Yu Qian, this wine is called daughter red, many families have daughters, so they buy some good wine, hide it under the plum tree, and when the daughter gets married, take it out and drink it...... I have been in this jar for 30 years, but it is the top quality! β
Yu Qian chuckled, turned the wine glass in his hand, and said casually: "Dingguo Gong, I can't get married for thirty years, I should call the old girl Hong!" How do you call your daughter red? β
Xu Zengshou was choked and speechless. After being stunned for a while, he pointed at Yu Qian's nose and scolded with a smile: "Sure enough, he is worthy of Liu Chun's proud protΓ©gΓ©, and he has learned all of your master's set." β
Yu Qian didn't argue, just chuckled: "Dingguo Gong, you are an elder and my master's brother, if there is anything, just tell me." Prepare such exquisite wine and food, so that the late life will not dare to bear it! β
Xu Zengshou paused heavily, put down the wine glass in his hand, then pulled out the chair, sat next to Yu Qian, and took the initiative to hook his shoulders and back.
"Yu Qian, to be honest, I have something to ask for. But that's aside. You also know that our Majesty has always been interested in marrying the Taishi, and they will kiss each other. β
mentioned the marriage event, Yu Qian's calm expression had a hint of disobedience, but he quickly recovered.
"This matter depends on the master's intentions, and it depends on my own intentions!"
Xu Zengshou nodded homeily, "That's right, speaking of which, I'm just worried that Your Majesty's head will be hot for a while, and the mandarin duck spectrum will be messed up." I'm going to leave and go overseas to establish a vassal state, and I can't take care of it. β
"But on one side is the eldest sister and on the other side is the younger sister, I can't sit idly by! Speaking of which, the most suitable matchmaker in the world is me. β
What a good reason to say!
Even if Yu Qian knew that Xu Zengshou had something to say, he didn't dare to be careless.
After all, he hadn't been thinking about it for a day or two. In comparison, this is more important than anything else!
Thinking of this, he straightened his back, leaned forward, listened to Xu Zengshou's words, and saw what he planned.
"To be honest, I don't want the two families to marry, it's good to be close to each other, but the royal family and the Liu family are mixed together, regardless of each other, this is not a good thing! Back then, Wang Mang usurped the throne of his son-in-law...... I'm afraid that one day, I'll cause a big disaster. Now the royal is the royal family, and the Taishi is the Taishi, I think it's very good, you don't have to make it a family of children, it's not good for anyone. β
Xu Zengshou smiled again, "But then again, the daughter of the Liu family, except for the royal family, there are not many people who can be worthy!" β
Xu Zengshou said, slapping hard and pinching Yu Qian's shoulder.
"Did you say?"
Yu Qian was excited, he already understood what Xu Zengshou meant, a God-given opportunity, he really can't miss it!
"Dingguo Gong loves the heart of the younger generations, and the five bodies are thrown into the ground in his later life. If Dingguo Gong believes in his late life and is willing to achieve Lianli, he will be grateful for his later life! β
After speaking, Yu Qian stood up, respectfully, and bowed to the ground.
Xu Zengshou looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
He can't fight the old ones, but the small ones are still caught.
Xu Zengshou thought of this and smiled!
"Sure enough, he is a good man, and he doesn't hide it. Let's put it this way! Before I go overseas, I can go to the door to propose marriage and fulfill you and my niece. Even if His Majesty asks for guilt, I will go to the queen to deal with it, and even if the crown prince and grandson have any anger, I will carry it on my shoulders. I'm going to sea anyway, even if I fall out with them, I don't care! β
He snapped his chest, as if it were so righteous and funny.
Yu Qian took a deep breath, "Dingguo Gong, so far, if you have any requirements, just say it!" β
Xu Zengshou was dumbfounded, "Actually, it's nothing, it's not that I'm going overseas, where do you say there is the most oil and water?" Can you give me some pointers? β
Yu Qian's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Which one does Dingguo Gong want?" β
"Of course, it's fat, oily, golden, and you can eat and drink for several lifetimes!"
This thing is really honest, he just didn't pursue it like this.
The more money, the better, so he doesn't want to endure hardship!
Not only is he unwilling, but even the descendants of the Xu family had better not have to endure hardship.
"In a word, can you find it?"
Yu Qian smiled, "Dingguo Gong, I can do this thing, but I never see rabbits and don't scatter eagles when I do things in my later life, what should you do?" β
Xu Zengshou raised his eyebrows, and he had to say that if someone else talked to him like this, he would have turned his face a long time ago. But Liu Chun's beloved apprentice, there is no way to do it.
"Boy, don't say anything. I, Xu Zengshou, will be a man first and then do things this time. Take this matchmaker as a good matchmaker first, and fulfill the two of you! Then what to do, it's up to you. β
Yu Qian thought for a moment, reached out and picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.
"Thank you Dingguo Gong for your help! Late life must choose a satisfactory fief for the Duke of Guo, please rest assured that the Duke of Dingguo is! β
The deal was completed, and both men smiled with satisfaction.
Xu Zengshou is really a man of action, and it only took three days to prepare the gift of proposing.
Then the people of the entire Jingshi saw a jaw-dropping scene!
From the Dingguo Mansion, four-wheeled carriages came out one after another.
The horses wore red satin headdresses, the carts were tied with large red flowers, the carts were filled with gifts, and the curtains were raised for easy viewing...... There is so much in it that there are 888 horses of silk alone!
Ordinary people pay attention to good things in pairs, and when they arrived at Xu Zengshou, they directly became all the way!
It's cheesy, but it's also real!
After the silk, there were wine, jade, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, all kinds of mahogany gift boxes, and ten carriages, simply loaded with gold and silver...... Mighty and mighty, coming to the Taishi's Mansion.
At the same time as Xu Zengshou was acting, Zhu Zhanji was waiting for Yao Guangxiao, and the old thief's bald body was much better, at least he was full of energy.
"His Royal Highness Taisun has worked hard for the old man, if you have anything, just tell the old man, at my age, I will do my best to help!"
Hearing Yao Guangxiao say this, Zhu Zhanji finally mustered up his courage, "Master, I have been a childhood sweetheart with Miss Liu since I was a child, and I know each other, and I also asked the master to come forward to help promote the marriage, and I am grateful to the late life!" β
