Just when Zhong Tan thought it was hopeless, Wang Qiao came wearing a festive new suit.

Zhong Tan, who was overjoyed, hurriedly greeted him, as if he had seen a baby, and couldn't help complaining: "I forgot to send someone to the house that day, but I lost the news, it was really hard to stay all night, Brother Wang is really a gentleman." ”

Wang Qiao said with a smile: "Don't say polite words, the ship is at the West Gate Wharf, my brother-in-law hurry up and dress up and go to pick up my relatives." ”

"Okay!" Zhong Tan laughed.

An hour later, the bride was taken home, got off the sedan chair to worship heaven and earth, etc., unveiled the hijab, revealing the flower and moon appearance, because of the dress, more coquettish than the last time.

Zhong Tan almost flew out of the sky, and his heart was full of joy, and he saw the eighteen suitcases carried in endlessly, all of which looked extremely heavy, and he was more and more surprised.

Neither side wanted to alarm the relatives and neighbors, so they simply set up a few tables of wedding wine and entertained some necessary guests. After a lively time, the husband and wife drank each other in the new house early, and Wang Qiao and his wife accompanied each other with a smile.

That night, the husband and wife had a spring breeze, and Zhong Tan, who was satisfied, hugged his wife again in the early morning to beg for joy, and after the incident, he got up and freshened up.

Wang instructed: "Open the cage a few times and let the husband look at it." ”

The maid then opened a few suitcases, and saw that they were all soft with gold and silver, and Wang Qiao also opened a few boxes, all of which were clothes, jewelry, etc., and took out eight field deeds and asked Zhong Tan to accept them.

Zhong Tancai was ecstatic in his heart, roughly calculated that the fertile land was indeed not less than a thousand acres, and the last trace of suspicion disappeared, and he happily handed over the key to the treasury to the Wang family for safekeeping, and his gold and silver totaled 30,000 taels.

Since then, the husband and wife have been like fish in water, and they have not left each other all day long, which is really twelve points of love.

Two months have passed like this, and seeing that autumn is about to pass, one day Wang said: "The slave family wants to go to the Qinhuai River for a walk, is the husband willing to take me there?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Zhong Tan immediately ordered someone to hire a painting boat.

Ate at noon. The husband and wife went to play on a boat, and when they left, they told Wang Qiao to take care of the house, and Wang handed over the key to his brother in front of him to keep it.

Zhong Tan kept an eye on it, and took the opportunity to tell the housekeeper to keep an eye on it.

After touring on the Qinhuai River for a long time, Zhong Tan, who hugged the beauty, was naturally full of spirits, smiling at the tourists on both sides of the river.

I didn't want to meet Xu Hai on the way, Xu Hai stared at him with a dark face, Zhong Tan just didn't see it, and the two painting boats staggered by.

When the boat was far away, Zhong Tan, who was trembling in his heart, eased up. How did the dark path touch him? I'm afraid it won't be a good omen, so I hurriedly said, "It's not early, let's go back." ”

I thought that my wife in the ascendant would be unhappy, but Wang said obediently: "Since my husband is tired, then go home quickly, today I am satisfied, go back to cook a few delicious dishes for my husband, and drink some wine to relieve fatigue." ”

Zhong Tancai said with a smile: "Having my beloved wife to accompany me to eat and drink, life is a great enjoyment." ”

Arrived home. It was already dusk, and Wang Qiao and his wife took it out. Seeing that Zhong Tan, who was safe and sound at home, was relieved, and secretly said that he had really done something wrong, and he was worried and suspicious all day long.

A few days passed. Zhong Tancai discussed with Wang Qiao: "Now that it's time to harvest late rice, tomorrow I will bother my brother to go to the countryside for a walk, and the rice rent will be harvested early and finished early, saving the inconvenience of cold weather." ”

Wang Qiao said: "I think about it. This year, my brother-in-law went with me to ask the tenant to get to know the master, I wonder what my brother-in-law thinks? ”

Zhong Tan said that this is the reason. How can there be a tenant who does not recognize the master's reasoning and readily agrees.

Early the next morning, Wang got up early to prepare breakfast, waited for his brother and husband to finish eating, gave advice, and sent the two to the countryside together.

At noon, when he walked to a certain county seat, Wang Qiao said: "I'm worried that the relatives of the Wang family will come to make trouble, so I'll go first, if it's okay, you can go again, and if there is something, I'll come back to discuss." ”

"Okay." Zhong Tan agreed.

When Wang Qiao left, he wandered around the city at will, saw a troupe singing, and went in to sit for a long time.

After reading it, it was also dark, and he returned to the ship and asked, "Is Uncle Wang back?" ”

The family said, "No, it's so late, don't have an accident." ”

Zhong Tan became worried and said, "Maybe it's on the way, let's wait and talk, even if there is something, we have to wait for dawn." ”

I slept on the boat that night, got up early in the morning, and didn't see anyone come back, Zhong Tan said in his heart that if Wang Qiao was detained by the relatives of the Wang family, I would go in vain, so it would be better to send someone to inquire, I will go home first, and it is good to find someone to help in Jinling if there is something wrong.

At the moment, he ordered to sail home, and when he arrived at the door at noon, Zhong Tan didn't wait to enter the door, and saw the girl running out in a panic, shouting: "Master, grandma is missing this morning, we are looking everywhere, who knows that the door is open, and people don't know where they went." ”

Zhong Tan was taken aback and hurriedly entered the inner house, only to have all his belongings gone.

"Oh no, I've been tricked." Zhong Tancai, who was discouraged, stomped his feet, "My silver, my silver." ”

Sitting on the ground, I suddenly saw a piece of paper pasted on the beam, which read: "When we meet in Pingshui, it doesn't cost anything, but we want to have thousands of acres of fertile land." I heard that Jun sold his wife for glory, but he was actually a robber for money, and although the concubine was flattering and plotted, wouldn't the king be guilty of losing money? The sins are the same, and the law is severe.

Now that the concubine is learning from Xizi to travel, Jun invites the dead sheep to go astray, and wants to cry without tears at this time, and then don't think about the money to cross the Beidou, I am afraid that I will be buried in Nanshan; Persuade you to think about your daughter, fortunately there is no sigh, only fragrant bait fishing, do not smell no bait fishing turtles, remember that the cheap place is cheap, the greedy word is also a poor word, Nan Ke a dream! ”

Zhangde, Henan, Zhao Wangfu.

Over the years, Zhu Gaosui felt that the throne was hopeless, so he spared no expense to build the huge Zhao Palace, recruited beautiful women, and began to live a luxurious life.

Although some things were planned during this period, the capital can be called a monolith. In particular, Xu Hao's attitude towards the safety of the palace has reached an outrageous level, and Zhu Gaosui's manpower has almost been eliminated.

After the death of Empress Zhang, Zhu Gaosui has not been able to return to Beijing for a long time, and his influence is weakening day by day, and it is estimated that he has forgotten him, Prince Zhao, inside and outside the government and the opposition.

The only consolation is that he and his second brother Zhu Gaochu are one south and one north, echoing each other from afar, Zhu Gaochu took the army to overseas, and his fief was located in Anyang, Henan Province in the later generations, which was an important transportation town between Beiping and Jinling.

In the past two years, Zhu Gaosui, who was waiting for the opportunity, got tired of the concubines and favored a palace maid from a humble background. This woman is naturally gorgeous, she is still charming without fat powder, and she is good at singing, dancing and singing, which makes the other concubines deeply dissatisfied, so they conspire to wait for an opportunity to make trouble.

After a long time, Zhu Gaosui couldn't stand the slander in turns, so he alienated the palace maid.

And this palace maid is a Zhen Huan type woman, who is very scheming, and wants to get the favor of the prince again.

Because Zhu Gaosui liked to eat barbecue when he was young, the palace maid spent money into the dining room and worshiped an old chef as a godmother to learn the way of barbecue.

After completing her studies, the palace maid added a purple crisp with ingenuity, and under the guidance of the godmother, she added sweet noodle sauce and green onions to enhance the flavor, bought the waiter with a lot of money, and brought the barbecue meat to Zhu Gaosui with her own hands.

Zhu Gaosui was not in a good mood, and when he saw that it was her, he couldn't help but arouse his affection, and his mood improved. Under the diligent service of the palace maid, his appetite was great, and the barbecue was delicious, and he asked, "Does this dish have a name?" ”

The palace maid grinned and replied, "Purple crispy meat." ”

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "In the future, this king will eat the purple crispy meat cooked by you every day, are you happy?" ”

The palace maid was naturally flattered, and doubled her flattery and flattery, so she regained the favor of King Zhao, but the good times did not last long, and soon the palace maid disappeared, and the palace people said that she left by herself.

The above is just a piece of Zhu Gaosui's romantic affair, in short, the purple crispy meat has been passed to the people and has become a famous dish on the Yu recipe, among which the purple crispy meat in Kaifeng is the most famous.

Last year, a military family moved to Zhao Wangfu, and his brother's name was Wu Xing, who was thirty-five years old. Because he married his daughter-in-law, he transferred his military position to his bold and careless younger brother Wu Yun, who had inexhaustible strength since he was a child, and was arranged by Zhao Wangfu in the military camp outside the city.

The Wu family was new to the palace and was not trusted by the Zhao Palace, so they failed to find an errand in the palace. But he still has to rely on the palace to survive, Wu Xing's distant relative is a eunuch in the Zhao Palace, and he was able to make a small business in front of the palace to get by, and he didn't worry about being hungry when he had relatives to take care of him.

Wu Yun came to the house every other month, and this month, Wu Xing went to the camp to visit his younger brother.

At noon, Wu Niangzi had no water to cook at home, so she carried a small bucket and hit the side door into the palace, fetched water from the well and carried it back, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhu Gaosui, who had nothing to do.

Seeing the prince, Wu also forgot the rules and hurriedly hid home.

In the past, Zhu Gaosui would only be angry, but today he asked: "What a beauty, is she from our palace?" How come I haven't seen it? Come and call Yang Qing to this king. ”

Not long after, the chamberlain Yang Qing hurriedly ran over, and Zhu Gaosui said, "There is such a beautiful woman below you who is shy of flowers in the moon, why don't you inform me?" ”

Yang Qing hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, that person's surname is Wu, and he moved over last year and is a distant relative of Zhao Mazi. Secondly, Wu Xing's brother is a well-known rough man, who often fights and hurts people, and is a guard in the camp, so the little one didn't say anything, after all, it was under your command. ”

Zhu Gaosui pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "What kind of subordinate is that?" How old do I think he is? The entire palace is under my command, and I can't touch a single girl? ”

Yang Qing saw that the prince said this, and immediately smiled: "Such a beauty, Wu Xing can afford it?" ”

"Alright." Zhu Gaosui instructed: "You must do it for me, and you can't let the Wu family brothers resent it, just be willing." ”

Yang Qing said with a smile: "Although Wu Yun is reckless, his brother Wu Xing is very honest, I want him to eat by the palace, so the little one will go to persuade him, if he is interested, the prince will reward him with thirty or fifty taels of silver, and he will be exempted from rent for an errand; If you don't know how to get interested, drive him away, and then look for his faults, and then you won't be afraid that he won't give in. ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "You can watch it, after the thing is done, I will reward you heavily." (To be continued......)
