Chapter 84：

Shao Shang is a man of action who will do what he says. Since he has made up his mind to be considerate and considerate of Ling Budo, he can't wait to live with him as a husband and wife overnight. However, just like when she made up her mind to study hard, there were four divisional exams, two midterm exams, one final exam, and one school-wide mock exam between the time she made her vow and the completion of the qualitative change.

Therefore, her first style of caring for her fiancé is as follows-

"...I wanted to invite you back to my house to eat bamboo fungus, but you haven't had a good rest for the past ten days, so I'll take you home first. !"

"What about your reputation and etiquette?" Ling Budo smiled.

"Let them dissipate with the wind." Anyway, it's impossible to break off the marriage and enter the wind power plant.

Shao Shang pulled Ling Budo back to the small trolley, and asked him enthusiastically to ride the trolley by himself.

Ling Budo said with a puzzled look: "Then why don't you and I ride together?" Isn't this a two-seater car.

"Oh, you don't know, let alone that the master who delivered the car has no good intentions. This seat looks spacious, but in fact it can only accommodate two women. Last time I and Ayao When we sit together, the pinched needles can't be inserted, you are a circle bigger than Ayao, where can you sit down..." The girl answered eagerly.

A cool breeze drifted into the alley, and the Cheng family members retreated quietly and neatly.

Ling Budo looked at the girl for a while, then silently carried her back to the chariot, climbed onto the horse, and said nothing.

A good start is half the battle, Shaoshang firmly believes that. In life, apart from her career and knowledge that she can't get involved in, there are only four things left in her life.

Ling Budo's mansion was given by the emperor, it is classical and dignified, grand and magnificent. He only intends to move a red Aya flower that grows outside his residence in the inner courtyard.

Ling Budo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I am a single man, what kind of flowers do I keep."

"Hey, it's true that heroes see the same thing." Shao Shang was surprised and delighted, "Actually, I don't like to grow flowers, but my mother said that my place is surrounded by green bamboo and green radish, separated by a patch of fresh flowers. Yan's flower field is beautiful, so I chose the most sturdy and easy-to-carry red lily flowers to plant. If you don't like it, I will bring you a few pots of my newly planted garlic sprouts, which not only cut and eat, but also drive insects... What do you say?"

Ling Budo: "...then let's plant red damask flowers."

Compared with the layout of the mansion, what is more important is the pick-up and drop-off behavior that Xiu Mu had just been criticized by the emperor.

"Then how can I see you longer?" Ling Budo lowered his eyes.

Shao Shang had thought about it for a long time: "I won't take a shortcut, but go in from the south of the palace. You wait for me to go in outside the palace gate. If there is a big court meeting, you can go to the Nangong Chaozheng Palace. Just stay, I'll go to the North Palace by myself, if there is a small court meeting or your Majesty doesn't, we'll go to the North Palace together. What?"

"Don't you have to get up half an hour earlier?"

Shao Shang waved his hand very proudly: "It's okay, I can doze off in front of my mother, and I can sleep hard at noon."

Ling Budo had a sweet feeling in her heart, but said: "You are in the Changqiu Palace to study with the empress, if it was delayed for me, wouldn't it..."

Same thing."

"...Then you should just threw yourself on me." Ling Budo said softly, his face, which was usually cold and jade, slowly floated a touch of pink.

Shao Shangchong wrinkled his small nose, looking very playful.

"As for the evening, it depends on whether you are busy or not. If you are busy, I will go home later, let's eat dinner at Changqiu Palace, and then go home slowly after eating If you are not busy, you can go to my house to eat." So the emperor is always satisfied, and she also worked hard to show her sincerity.

"You can also rub against Your Majesty. There are two chefs in His Majesty's inner palace, and their craftsmanship is excellent."

When it comes to food, Shaoshang's heart lit up.

When she came home that night, she asked Alimie to find the small black pottery stewing pot that she specially found in Huaxian to find a craftsman, scrub it, dry it under the moon, and then dry it for later use. As far as she observed, the cooking skills at this time were not as varied as those of later generations. People mostly used roasting and dry pan-frying as a delicacy, and fish and meat were expensive, but this was not healthy.

It turns out that cooking is healthier, so under her intervention, even against the strong dissatisfaction of Cheng's mother, a lot of vegetables, cooking and soup have been added to Cheng's daily meals.

Southerners are very versatile in making soup and food, and they are self-taught without a teacher. Whether in the mountains or fields, rivers or streams, young merchants can make soup.

Since then, Shaoshang tried her best to wrap a cup of soup in a warm nest every morning and bring it to Ling Buxuan at the gate of the palace. The processed ingredients went into the palace, and asked Zhai Yu for a small red clay stove. She put her shiny and small black pottery pot on the shelf, and simmered it—fortunately, this is a palace without palace battles, Queen She also has complete control in Changqiu Palace, otherwise she would not dare to kill her.

In noon or in the evening, when Ling Wusu came to Changqiu Palace, he would see the little girl guarding the soup pot under the corridor, her cheeks flushed by the fire, oozing out His fine sweat adorned his face like pearls and shells, and then smiled at him.

In an instant, he suddenly understood what his adoptive father meant by 'fireworks'.

As the old teacher said in her childhood, Shaoshang is a person with both cruelty and perseverance. She used to hate this kind of mother-in-law cooking, and now she intends to complete it as a tough task , but can not hesitate to devote one's heart and wisdom. What to clear the lungs, moisten the throat, improve the eyesight, reduce the fire, lift the qi... Ling Budo's heart, liver, spleen and lungs were all nourished by her, except that she did not dare to nourish the kidneys and aphrodisiacs.

It didn't take long for her to discover that Ling Budo's favorite now was a fish ball **** soup - take off the raw fish, smash and knead it into small fish balls, and cook them in clear soup , garnished with some shredded green cabbage and turmeric shreds, light and delicious.

Seeing that the girls are busy and diligent these days, the queen has a rare feeling of sourness, and joked: "...Is it possible that you can retire, and now the palace is spreading your reputation for being virtuous ."

"Really, everyone says I'm 'virtuous'?" Shao Shang was surprised, he really didn't expect it.

Young businessman is not clear, so: "I... Where is my filial piety, my mother and father came to complain to you...?"

"It's about my filial piety and your majesty!" The queen raised her face.

In order to act cautiously before, all the utensils and merchants were carefully placed, and the ingredients were accurate enough to be eaten in one go, only three or four minutes full, but now they have to change .

The queen is no less than Lingbudo, and the taste is sweet and waxy. Shaoshang had no choice but to study sweet soups and sweets. Unfortunately, there was no high-purity white sugar or rock sugar at this time. She used maltose into the soup, but unfortunately the taste was neither pure nor sweet enough.

There are sporadically planted sugarcane in the surrounding states and counties, squeezed out 'zhe pulp' for people to drink, and the 'stone honey' from the Western Regions is also sold in the market, but the former cannot be used in dishes, and the latter is rarely traded Thought the price was expensive and smelly and heavy. This is an era without high-end acids, so she can only buy mash or sugar cane by herself, and then boil and purify sugar particles one by one. With the basic knowledge of chemistry, many mistakes are naturally avoided in the operation process, even if it is too expensive and too exhausting.

It wasn't until the change box bottomed out that the smoke in Cheng's house eased, and Shaoshang obtained molasses with enough sweetness to make snacks such as fructose and lactose (Cheng Xiaozhu & Cheng Small Acura Star Eyes), can also be cold mixed with fruits and vegetables (Mother Cheng also likes her), and can also make all kinds of sweet soups.

However, this kind of molasses is not easy to preserve, Shaoshang simply let it go in the summer, for a while the double skin milk, the honey milk jelly for a while, and the white sugar cake for a while ), and even baked snacks in the back kitchen of Changqiu Palace. The sweet and gentle milky aroma that could melt the soul spread out for miles, almost hooking up several officials who were discussing matters at the Shangshutai at that time.

Luo Jitong was willing to instruct Shaoxing about personal matters that Luo Jitong had never explained.

It's over your head."

Luo Jitong smiled and held the sweet red bean and corn soup: "I'm going to go to the northwest to get married before winter, but for her, the palace is half her husband's family, and now it's just Honor the uncle and aunt in the palace in advance, I am different from her."

Later, when this matter reached Shao Shang’s ears, she couldn’t help but sigh: “Sister Jitong is really bright.” Years go by without wind and waves.

The queen smiled: "If she is so easily provoked, how can she stay in the palace for so long."

The queen shook her head: "The water is clear and there are no fish, and the palace is lonely. You can't even let them talk."

Shao Shang shook his head secretly.

Some things Xiaoshang can shake her head, but some things she can't help but say more.

From the time she returned to filial piety to the queen, even if the queen did not keep the emperor's share, she would send it to the Yuefei Palace. Shaoshang worried in his heart, the most likely to have secret and sneaky things in the food and drink, what to do if there is an emergency in the future.

The queen said indifferently: "She won't. She also knows that I won't."

Shao Shang stared at the queen with a certain look, and stopped talking.

At the end of the summer, Shao Shang made the last part of molasses for the emperor to make a thick glutinous rice soup with broken nuts. Ingenious, but unfortunately this method of making sugar should not be imitated by the whole country, so don’t spread it out. Everyone loves delicious things, but the world only has so much human and material resources. If such sweets are widely sought after by the wealthy, then every household will plant them. Sugar cane is no longer planted, but there is still no shortage of starvation outside.”

Shao Shang naturally knew what it meant, she respectfully said: "Your Majesty, concubine knows what you mean. That's all the national power, and it's always used where it should be."

"Where should I use it?" The emperor deliberately teased the little girl, causing the empress to stare.

Shao Shang said loudly: "Naturally it is food, horses, and iron tools." She couldn't help but pouted, "Your Majesty, the empress has already taught her concubine to read the "Theory of Salt and Iron", and Dr. Jia Yi's What... er, it seems that the concubine forgot the name of the book, but the concubine has read it before..."

The emperor did not take it seriously, instead he stroked his beard and laughed.

Although Shao Shang had a displeased expression on his face, he respected the emperor and empress very much in his heart. As the supreme emperor of the empire, can't they eat what they want? They just set an example and use thrift to restrain and advocate the noble families.

In fact, in later generations, there was a dynasty that was famous for its wealth. It was able to make exquisite and unparalleled azure porcelain, and the way of aromatherapy was the best of all dynasties. The monarchs and ministers of the dynasties failed the talented and diligent people, failed the brave and **** generals, and failed to use their national strength to govern with salt, iron, grain and horses.

In her superficial opinion, the keynote of that dynasty's state affairs was bribery, bribery with wealth, silk and honor, bribes to foreign enemies, and bribes to officials. It can be exchanged for the praise of the monarch and the dynasty by the Wenchen group.

The dark humor is that the wives and daughters of this group of people ended up going the same way.

I don't know who said, hard work and sweat will not lie.

Shao Shang worked so hard, with his brain and hands, not only the good name gradually overshadowed the stubborn and vulgar name at the beginning, but the emperor was satisfied when he saw it, he waved his hand and rewarded her with 50,000 coins The newly minted five baht money was used as pocket money, and it was also stated that the girl was 'quiet, filial and happy, and should be received appropriately' - and gave Ling Budo two hundred households to eat.

What's the matter with Master Guan Ling?"

The queen laughed softly, and said softly: "Isn't his what is yours? ."

Shao Shang burst out laughing, and then said with a sense of loss: "Oh, in the past, whether it was praise or blame, it was my own business. But now, I said it well. If I do it well, that is the glory of Master Ling, if I behave inappropriately, it will be a disgrace to Master Ling. What about myself, where am I." The little girl sighed with an adult-like look on her face.

The queen restrained her face, looked at her quietly for a while, and then said: "You are on the point of a bull's horn. If you say it, the officers and ministers under His Majesty's command will have no place for themselves. After planning, If you win the battle, you open up territory for your majesty, and they have nothing to do with them; if you make a mistake and lose, it will be your majesty's right? Advisors, their names shine brightly in the bright galaxy."

Shao Shang slowly raised his head and looked out of the eaves with wide eyes.

"You used to be too lonely, always thinking of self-destruction, self-promotion and self-humiliation, but this is not possible, you have to learn to turn around, learn to drive other mountains if you can't open this mountain In the future, you can't follow that Lou's son to the mountains and rivers as you planned before, but in this city on the Luohe River, the capital of the world, can't you be yourself?"

Shao Shang seemed to have been opened a bright window, and a few stars faintly appeared in the gradually darkening indigo sky. Although they were very shallow and faint, they existed after all.

"Niangniang, what you said is really good." She turned her head and smiled, as if the breeze was blowing the hills.

The queen felt relieved when she saw this smile.

The young businessman looked up at the sky and thought to himself, how ridiculous the behavior of an indignant and resentful woman is, after all, she just changed her major, however, even in her previous life, did she Can you guarantee that you will be able to match your major in future employment?

Now, she just transferred from the field of science and technology to the Department of Home Economics and Nutrition. There is no distinction between labor and industry, and there is no need to work hard. She is her, can it be changed? A major, is she not her? That's too funny.

The author has something to say:

1. After the year, the work unit is very busy, and the brain cells seem to be competed by both sides. Sometimes even if I sit down, my mind is still the work of the work unit, and I can't write a word. I'm very sorry.

2. Regarding the Song Dynasty, unfortunately, I read Mr. Bo Yang's "Chinese History Outline" when I was very young. I agree with the sentence in it. He Caibo is thriving and developing in a good direction. It almost has the scene after the reign of Wenjing. If there is a heroic emperor like Li Shimin, the sixteen states of Yanyun may not be able to recover. You must know the early days of wild boars. The Hetao Plain was also not in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

Mr. Bo Yang said, unfortunately, what happened to China at that time was not Li Shimin, but the Zhao brothers.

3. In fact, there were also several very good emperors in the Song Dynasty. They were diligent and thrifty, and they spoke widely. However, the tune of the whole state politics was wrong. However, the lessons of the Song Dynasty may be good for the long history. The tragic ending of the Song Dynasty completely told the Chinese people that it is useless to be rich and will be robbed.

4. I'm not trying to tout aristocratic families. I absolutely agree that the evolution of history should be from aristocratic politics to civilian politics, but I am against calling grandpas a **** because grandsons are useless. Even if the aristocratic families become the opposite of the historical flow in the later period, it cannot be denied that they have played an active role in history.

The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was not because of irreversible land annexation or irresistible peasant uprisings, but because of the group of civil servants who were said to be remarkable, they were willing to care about the words and deeds of the princess and diligently pursue a poor woman In the case of the helpless murder of her husband, but in front of the alien army, she only knew that the city head jumped the big rope, and even opened the city gate by herself.

As long as there is one Yu Qian, the Northern Song Dynasty will probably not perish that year, in such a tragic way.

But it's hard to say, maybe the tragic lesson of the Northern Song Dynasty gave a lesson to the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.
