Chapter 43: Wisdom and Foolishness

Shen Lian had this attitude, which was indeed unexpected to him.

Zhao Xiang was still trying his best to make up his rhetoric, ready to persuade Shen Lian again.

Shen Lian said: "There are five sons in the saint today, three have been princes, the former prince is the most virtuous, but he died strangely, your uncle was the son of heaven, but now he has been abolished from the throne and imprisoned for life, but only your father has not been treated favorably by the saint before, but he was made the prince in the new dynasty, in fact, who doesn't know that the prince's position is a fire pit now, and he should be resigned, but your father readily accepts it, and everyone says that your father is cowardly and stupid, do you think so as a son of man?"

Zhao Xiang was stunned when he heard this, he was heroic and decisive since he was a child, and he was ruthless with his grandmother, and he praised him, which can be said to be in stark contrast to his grandmother's coldness towards his father.

People say that his father was made the crown prince because his grandmother loved him. It's just that he has studied scripture and history since he was a child, and he knows that the current situation is complicated and he should not jump into the struggle for imperial power in vain, but his father did not refuse, and Wen Zhao gladly accepted it.

Since entering Beijing this month, he has been walking on thin ice, even so, it is still easy to dodge with open guns, and it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows, and his father still has a strange disease, which makes the doctors helpless.

Of course, the most chilling thing for him was that his grandmother didn't even bother with this matter.

Even if he has the talent of an emperor, he is still young and flustered, otherwise he would not have found Shen Lian.

Shen Lian's words are very mysterious, as a son, he naturally knows his father best, so he also feels that his father is indeed not smart sometimes, neither will he please his grandmother, nor will he deliberately keep a distance from his ministers. It's just blindly following the crowd, and I don't have half an opinion.

But when I think about it, over the years, their family has been safe and sound.

He is also a smart person, he can understand a little, and he suddenly feels that Shen Lian is a little terrifying, and he can't help but suspect that a character like Shen Lian has powerful means and is extremely wise, what is he trying to do.

He wouldn't ask, he hid this doubt in his heart, and his face didn't show it at all.

After a few more idle words, he took his leave.

Shen Lian watched Zhao Xiang go away, but his last gaze was on the imperial city, where the majesty was really getting heavier and heavier.

"Brother, I'm hungry. The delicate ~ tender voice behind him suddenly sounded.

Shen Lian picked her up and laughed softly, "Don't you go out to eat today?"

"I want to eat something delicious. Ruoxi grabbed Shen Lian's chin~ and grabbed Shen Lian's chin, his brother's face was so smooth, there was not even a trace of fluff.

Shen Lian said: "Then today we will go to 'Fumanlou' to eat roast duck, do you want to drink?"

"Xi'er is still a child, you can't drink, and my brother shouldn't drink either. Ruoxi grabbed a strand of Shen Lian's hair.

Fuman Building actually has no building, just next street. Next to this street is a river, called Anping Canal, this artificial river is the widest river in the divine capital, with more than 20 zhang.

It is the empress herself who ordered the excavation, benefiting the large ~ piece of fertile land outside the city, before that, the capital rice is expensive, it is not easy to live in a big place, since there is this Anping Canal, the empress has made people develop good seeds, and the price of rice in Shendu can be said to have fallen year after year.

There are countless policies like the empress that benefit the people, so although the empress has changed the yuan, it is not a bad thing for the people of the world.

'Fumanlou' is not a restaurant, but a tavern next to Anping Canal.

The tavern owner was a beautiful woman, and many people came to eat and drink food and drink to see her.

She is said to be a widow who wants a happy home and to turn the tavern into a restaurant, which is why she named this small shop 'Fumanlou'.

Fumanlou is not full of guests every day, after all, those guests who want to rub oil will not come if they haven't reaped the benefits for a long time.

But the proprietress is not only beautiful, but also has good cooking skills, and at first she really left a lot of customers, but she has a problem, the dishes she cooks are sometimes good and sometimes bad.

When it's delicious, it's really a palace kitchen that can't be compared, and when it's unpalatable, it's worse than pig food.

It's just that you can't see the difference in appearance, and you can only experience it when you eat it.

Shen Lian only came to eat it once, or almost two months ago, that time he was lucky, and the roast duck he ate was endlessly memorable.

However, when Shen Lian arrived here, he was still a little surprised, because there were no guests at this time, which could be described as bleak.

The proprietress is about thirty years old, quite charming, when she sees Shen Lian, she smiles and groans to greet her, and the willow waist swings inadvertently, like the wind blowing willow branches, graceful.

"What does Childe want to eat?" she asked.

Ruoxi had already replied first: "Two plates of roast duck, don't drink." ”

The proprietress giggled, as if she was amused by Xiao Ruoxi, and then looked at Shen Lian, who nodded in agreement.

The proprietress shouted: "Xiaobai hurry up and wipe the table for the guests, and the old lady will cook." ”

After saying that, he went straight to the back kitchen.

The guy named Xiaobai, Ben was lying on his stomach in the corner, and when he heard the voice of the proprietress, he got up and came over.

Xiaobai was still a teenager, his expression was cold, as if he was owed a lot of money, when he saw Shen Lian, he hesitated a little, but Shen Lian did not react.

Xiaobai was the one who was chased and killed by the enemy that night, and Shen Lian saved him casually.

His real name is Bai Shaoliu, and he lost too much blood that night, and finally collapsed at the door of this store, and was saved by the proprietress .

Bai Shaoliu saw that Shen Lian was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of when he had seen it, and after a quick glance that night, he really couldn't match Shen Lian.

After a while, a plate of roast duck was served, the slices were very even, ordinary people could only see the surface, and in Shen Lian's eyes, it was a perfect performance of knife work.

This plate of roast duck is made very much to solve the meaning of the cow, with no thickness into the room, as for the separation of bone and meat.

In fact, few people pay attention to the fact that the best thing about the proprietress is not the waist, but her hands, which are white ~ tender and delicate, without half a point of roughness.

Of course, although the proprietress is not ordinary, Shen Lian has no other meaning, just to eat.

Although he does not eat grains and abstains from fireworks, he still has a craving.

Today's seasoning is very good, it seems to be a little better than his first time, the proprietress naturally will not accompany Shen Lian to eat, Bai Shaoliu wiped the table clean, and leaned outside the door to bask in the sun, without greeting guests, and the proprietress did not even let him solicit business.

It's waterfront, it's noon, and it's still cool.

Shen Lian felt that it was better to move the hospital down this street, which was much better than the original place.

Ruoxi was always very serious when eating, digesting the roast duck on the plate one by one, and ate more than Shen Lian.

Suddenly, Bai Shaoliu flew in from outside the door, and it happened to be Shen Lian's table in the direction.

Fortunately, halfway through, Bai Shaoliu tried his best to turn over and bumped into the table next to him.

Ruoxi was a little unhappy because some dust fell on the plate.
