The national master then turned and looked at Ye Xiaoxian.
The small, pointed face, the Danfeng eyes with a slight upward hook, after wearing rouge, every move was so beautiful and lovely.
"Mrs. Xiao, please sit down." The national master pointed to the position in front of him.
When ye Xiaoxian saw that Xiao Baoshan had gone, his used tableware was removed and replaced with a new one.
It seems that the national teacher wants her to talk alone. Maybe he wants her to be a lobbyist.
She's not polite. Let her sit down. What else can she do.
"Does Mrs. Xiao drink?" The National Master said, "this is the drunken immortal wine in the palace. It's a good wine."
Ye Xiaoxian tasted it. It wasn't a strong liquor. It was really better than what she drank outside. She nodded: "this wine is good. Is it brewed with early morning manna?"
Seeing that she still knew wine, the National Master said, "it seems that Mrs. Xiao is an expert. I heard that Mrs. Xiao was a peasant girl before, and later she opened a restaurant, didn't she?"
"Indeed."
"No wonder, I must have met some people when I opened a restaurant, so my courage and sense are OK."
"Xie Guoshi praised. It seems that Guoshi has investigated our family's affairs clearly."
"I only checked the people of the Xiao family, but others didn't check it carefully." The national master took a sip of wine, and then asked in a casual tone, "I just don't know where Mrs. Xiao's parents are?"
"Dead!" Ye Xiaoxian insisted.
She didn't know the original owner's biological parents. According to Li Hongmei, she bought it from her daughter-in-law. There are many children and women these days. For two liang of silver, she can buy a little girl as a daughter-in-law.
Those who sell their original owners must be poor and have no feelings. Ye Xiaoxian thinks they are dead.
But the national teacher asked: "dead? How did you die?"
The leaf thought and said, "I don't know. Anyway, he is dead. He may drown or be buried in a debris flow."
National Teacher's heart, that's not it.
Xiaobaoshan's hometown is Qinghe County, where mountains and rivers are far away. His daughter could not have been so far away before.
The national teacher said to ye again, "listen to Zhang Deshui, your cooking is good. The recipes of these small dishes in front of me are all from you. Where did you learn them?"
"Who is Zhang Deshui?"
"It's my family's cook."
Ye Zi said, "Oh, his cooking is OK, but it's not exquisite enough. Many dishes can be improved, such as elbows, duck gizzards and so on."
"Mrs. Xiao likes cooking?"
"Of course." Ye Ziyan is concise and comprehensive.
"If so, you can go to the back kitchen and have a competition with Zhang Deshui when you're free, so that I can taste your cooking."
Ye Zi said, "naturally, there is no problem."
There are so many precious delicacies in the Imperial College, and she is also idle. Why not practice with these ingredients.
……
palace.
On this day, when the national teacher went to the court, he brought a food box. After entering the palace, he handed the food box to his subordinates and asked them to send it to the Empress Dowager's bedroom for enjoyment.
When the national teacher left the early Dynasty, he went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
The Empress Dowager was masturbating her cat and met the national teacher, She couldn't help asking, "I've tasted the snacks you sent in the morning. The taste is very good. It's more delicious than those made by the imperial chef in the palace. It's both light and original, especially the elbow. You usually have to chew the elbow. Now what you eat is actually boneless. The texture is crisp, rotten, soft and waxy. It melts at the entrance and has a long aftertaste. I heard that it's very nourishing."
"Really? You like it. But do you know who made this dish?" Asked the national teacher.
"Who? Did your family recruit a new cook, the former... Zhang Deshui? He quit?"
Zhang Deshui was the cook of the former Emperor, and the Empress Dowager also ate what he made, so of course the Empress Dowager knew his name.
The national teacher said, "it's not that you don't do it. There's a little lady in the house. This girl is Xiao Baoshan's wife. She's very good at cooking. What's more, she looks like you when you were young."
"Oh? What did I look like when I was young?" The Empress Dowager showed a disdainful expression: "when I was young, she compared with me?"
"Naturally, she can't compare with you, but she looks a little like you. After all, she grew up in the countryside, so her temperament can't be the same as you."
The Empress Dowager was a little unhappy: "do you miss me when you see her like me? You men like young people. If you have young people, you don't want half old Xu Niang like me."
"How can it be? You are not old, and you are still so tender. I like you most in my life, and I only like you." The National Teacher pinched the Empress Dowager's face.
"Then why did you leave her at home?"
"Contain Xiao Baoshan." The national master then said his plan again and said again, "so Mrs. Xiao can't be put back for the time being. She can only be put under house arrest, otherwise xiaobaoshan can't be used by me."
The Empress Dowager sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Asked the national teacher.
"I'm sighing. Are you tired of brewing these tricks all day? And in the end, it's our women who sacrifice." The Empress Dowager remembered being sent to the palace by the national teacher.
When she entered the palace that year, she was only 16 years old and had just given birth to a daughter. At that time, the emperor was more than 60 years old. She was spoiled, but she was very unhappy. She had to find ways to please the old emperor every day and guard against the open and secret fights in the harem.
Fortunately, she was very beautiful, the old emperor was greedy for beauty, and the national teachers gave advice, which made her rise all the way and the power of the harem was in power.
The national teacher then held the Empress Dowager in his arms, stroked her shoulder and said, "I know you are wronged, but what's wrong with you now? Even the emperor should call you empress dowager, let alone others. You can enjoy endless glory, wealth and honor."
"I just miss our daughter. I don't know whether she is alive or dead."
"Look at you, here you are again." The National Teacher kissed her on the mouth and stopped her talking.
After a while, the Empress Dowager collapsed under the national teacher, and she couldn't say anything more.
……
It's already evening, and Li Chengkun is still reviewing the memorial.
But the Beiqing army had no time to be on guard. Those who beat chickens and dogs also had no rules. They could only constantly supplement their troops and wanted to win more with less.
Yan Ziyan and others fought more and more fiercely, so they continued to fight without rules and regulations.
That night, they blocked a group of Beiqing army who came to attack the city, surrounded the Beiqing army and shot dead with random arrows.
