Chapter 584: accept levy

Chapter 584 Na Zheng

The woman should have taken another sip and couldn't swallow it. "My God, how can this be eaten? It's really poverty that limits imagination. They haven't eaten good things, so they regard this kind of pastry as a treasure?"

At this time, the three of them recognized who the other was. It was a coincidence that Xiao Changxuan and Xue Wanqing came and sat behind the three of them, separated by a vine shelf, which was really disappointing.

Linghua thought that the pastry bought by the other party was not the same as the three of them, so she turned her head secretly, and took a look through the gap between the leaves. It was clearly the same pastry, maybe it came out of the same pot, but Xue Wanqing But I dislike it very much.

"Your Highness, Qing'er remembered that Qing'er can open a pastry shop in the capital, but it's a pity that Qing'er doesn't have so many resources."

Xiao Changxuan still had some resources in his hand, so he hurriedly said, "Qing'er, if you want to open a pastry shop, I will help you."

"Yeah! But, I'm going to go back and try first, and make some myself."

In ancient times, there were no ovens, egg beaters, mixers, or even cows in the capital. If you want to make Western-style pastries in batches, you suddenly find that you don’t have the conditions.

But Xue Wanqing still decided to give it a try. If she succeeds, even if she doesn't open a shop, it will still be a resource for her, and she can use it to make friends with powerful officials and dignitaries.

Xie Zhiwei's heart moved. The cakes they ate can be said to be the best taste. This chef was brought by Xiao Xun from the north. After she planned to marry into Prince Xiang's mansion, let her get used to the taste of cakes in the north. Before the wedding date, the master came to Qingle Tea House to sell pastries for a few days.

This master is a monk who was a fire head monk in Tianxiong Temple, and was recommended by Master Yunde to Xiao Xun. When this person was around, the vegetarian restaurant in Tianxiong Temple was said to be famous far and near.

Xue Wanqing is still disgusted, Xie Zhiwei really wants to know what kind of pastries she will make, so that she can know where Xue Wanqing came from?

Lou Kingdom’s envoys were finally sent away. On March 20th, another good news came from the Northland. His Royal Highness Prince Chen personally led his troops to attack Youzhou City. Most of the country has already fallen into the hands of King Chen, and the court needs to send civil servants to manage this lost and regained country.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were named Hebei, and it was Xiao Xun's vassal land.

At this time, Xiao Changxuan had already arrived at Pingjiang Mansion and was living in the yamen. He got the news from the mansion newspaper and asked for a map. Looking at the Yanyun sixteen prefectures that were emphatically marked, his eyes were red. .

Emperor Taizu once left a legacy: "Dayong's lords should be entrusted without tin land, nobles should not be with the people, food and salary should not be in charge of affairs", but there is one exception. If the subjects of Dayong can regain the lost land, "Yan According to the "Sixteen States", if the descendants of the Xiao family are named princes, they will guard the country.

For a long time, the Dayong royal family has also been very worried. It is not the Xiao family who regained the Yanyun sixteen states, but the king with a different surname.

At this time, the most depressed person is not Xiao Changxuan, but the people from Beiqi. They got the information that Prince Chen had clearly appeared in Dayong Capital, and someone saw it with their own eyes. When they started to attack, they found that Prince Chen was at the forefront.

As long as anyone who has fought against Prince Chen, no one can forget those eyes that can invigorate the soul.

Those are a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, which seem to be filled with a small sun, but as long as they are illuminated by the light of this small sun, they will not live to see the next one.

If it weren't for this, everyone in Beiqi would doubt whether Prince Chen had a twin brother.

March 26th was the day of Nazheng. On the first day, Xiao Xun rushed back to the capital from the west, but neither Xiliang nor Beiqi people dared to act rashly.

The dowry came out of Prince Xiang's Mansion, the first dowry had just entered the gate of Xie's house, and the last one had not yet left the Prince Xiang's Mansion.

The red carrying box, the red silk on the carrying box is embroidered with gold thread and the pattern of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness is golden and extremely luxurious.

On the first page is the golden book and gold seal that canonized Xie Zhiwei as the princess, which is a symbol of power and attracts people's attention.

In the second lift is the prince's concubine's crown dress, the top is the emerald jade nine-zhai crown, the left and right two golden phoenixes holding east pearls in their mouths, and the two eyes adorned with rubies are shining brightly.

Underneath is a neatly folded red shirt with Sihe Ruyi cloud pattern, gold embroidered cloud and phoenix couplet bead pattern Qingxia pea, gold 钑 cloud and phoenix pendant, gold embroidered group phoenix pattern peach red beanie, gold embroidered group phoenix chest and back Qingju gown, Yugugui Put it in a yellow brocade sleeve and put it aside.

A total of two hundred and fifty-six dowry gifts filled Xie's house from the main courtyard to the courtyard, to the main hall and the passage behind, and every box contained either rare treasures or built-in items, even if they had money, Can't buy it outside.

"Oh, before people mentioned that there was a princess in the family, and when they talked about the world they saw, they said it was a sky-shattering wealth. I was thinking, what is a sky-shattering wealth, I just saw it today. .” Qian was so excited, it seemed that these betrothal gifts were all for her.

Mrs. Yuan was sweating profusely from anxiety. The dowry at home had just been counted, and there were two hundred and fifty-six liters of it, and there was no place to put it. This is all right, and another two hundred and fifty-six liters came. Go ask the forbidden army to help watch it?

Ms. Yuan went to discuss with Xie Yuanbai, and said her scruples, "These are all built-in things, and some of them are rewarded by the empress dowager and empress. If they are lost, it is not a matter of money."

Xie Yuanbai thought for a while, "Except for the gold book and gold seal, the crown dress to be worn on the big wedding day, and other betrothal gifts, pack them all up. After Mei Mei gets married, let Mei Mei take them back and keep them as her private house?"

Yuan Shi also thinks this is very good, the Prince Xiang's mansion is really generous, and this dowry gift is really too kind, if it can be kept for Mei Mei as a private house, it is really a great thing.

Originally, after accepting the levy, there was an application period, but Qin Tianjian was already optimistic about the auspicious day, so he skipped this period.

Since the dowry was given by Prince Xiang's Mansion in the capital, Prince Chen's big wedding has been talked about every day.

In the blink of an eye, April 16th is the day when the Xie family sends the dowry. The dowry is carried out from the Xie family, and the streets between the Xie family and the Prince Xiang's Mansion are connected into patches of red. Ten miles of red makeup is nothing more than that.

In the fourth prince's mansion, Xue Wanqing was making a plate of cakes. It was not very successful, but the taste was not bad. A little rare fruit was added on it, which had a slightly sour taste. Said, "Concubine Shu, it's delicious, much better than last time."

Xue Wanqing was too lazy to talk, and she felt more and more frustrated. In such a poor and old world, it was impossible to eat even a bite of pastry. Without an egg beater, the eggs would not be able to froth. The dough that comes out always has a sour taste. Without a rice cooker or an oven, there is no constant temperature. How can she make cakes or bread?

Today's update!

Well, the big wedding is finally here!

Dear friends, the votes in your hands are ready to be voted out, oh my, I love you!
