Chapter 824 Flower brew
"In your opinion, who is more suitable?" Zhao Yunxiang asked in a deep voice.
"Look at her daughter, why not Aunt Zhang? She is the daughter of a scholar, she can read, speak and behave well. With her to help mother, it should be fine."
Originally, it was not Yan Shi who Webster had the strictest defense against, but Aunt Zhang.
Zhao Yunxiang nodded, "Then let Aunt Zhang help you. I'll ask Aunt Zhang to kowtow to you later."
Zhao Baohua didn't refuse, but asked another matter, "Father, has my brother considered about my brother's marriage? My brother is not young, so it's not appropriate to procrastinate any longer. They all say to start a family and start a career. It's not suitable for marriage after Qiu's end, but it doesn't hinder the marriage first."
Zhao Yunxiang said, "I originally planned to talk about marriage after your brother finished his career, but now it seems that there is no conflict. I have taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of Mr. Li, Yin of the Yuan Shuntian Mansion. She also had a verbal engagement with Mr. Li. Four years ago, Master Li's mother passed away and reported to Ding You, now the filial piety period has passed, and we are waiting for a chance to get back together, this marriage is naturally going to happen."
Zhao Baohua was relieved just now.
After Xiao Ke woke up, the two had lunch at Zhao's house, pulled two carriages of flowers, and returned to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Zhao Baohua asked someone to pull the car to Rongqing Hall, Xiao Ke let her go in first, and directed someone to move the flowers in. Looking at these beautiful flowers, Xiao Ke said, "I didn't expect you to grow flowers!"
After Zhao Baohua washed up, she changed clothes and came out. She held her head loosely and said with a smile, "I used to have nothing to do in my boudoir, so I thought about compiling a flower book. When I got a blue book, I realized, what does my concubine's experience mean?"
Xiao Ke said, "It's a good thing that you want to compile a flower spectrum. You know, "Compendium of Materia Medica" should be a great medical book. In addition to the experience accumulated by the predecessors, it is not a lot of knowledge from the descendants." additions and corrections."
Zhao Baohua said, "What about the son? Has the son thought about compiling a cat or dog book?"
The corners of Xiao Ke's eyes twitched, "I really want to, but if I really do this, I'm afraid my elder brother will beat me to death!"
Zhao Baohua has never met the uncle of King Chen, so he is very curious, "Don't uncle like you to have cats and dogs?"
"Yeah, he hates me for doing this. As long as I had cats and dogs, he said he was allergic to cat or dog hair, and urged my father to beat me. I thought he was really allergic, but later , I just found out that he did it on purpose, and he once stole a milk cat from Empress Xiaocheng and gave it to his sister-in-law."
Zhao Baohua was fascinated by what he heard. If she wanted to live a good life in the palace, she must be sure of the relationship between people, so she asked, "How does the prince know about this?"
"I only heard about it from his servant."
This is a bit too much, but why did His Highness Prince Chen do this? Zhao Baohua had an intuition that it was definitely not a dispute between the concubine and concubine, so he asked, "Then why did His Highness Prince Chen do this? The concubine is watching, the princess is very good, and His Royal Highness Chen should not be bad."
"Hmm!" Xiao Ke glanced in the direction of the Chen Palace, "Brother, he wants to force me to do things, but I'm really not interested in those government affairs, nor in studying and practicing martial arts."
Saying that, Xiao Ke carefully glanced at Zhao Baohua, what woman in the world doesn't want her husband to be a marquis? He doesn't need to ask for the position of prince, but which woman would like to see her husband idle at home every day?
Zhao Baohua breathed a sigh of relief, "It is said that an elder brother is like a father. His Royal Highness Chen Wang hopes that the eldest son can contribute to the court, and it is also for the best of the eldest son. However, if the eldest son does not want to do this, please speak clearly with His Royal Highness. Thinking about it, if it is not a last resort for a person to live, he should naturally live happily."
Xiao Ke gently embraced Zhao Baohua's shoulders, "I'm very happy when you say that. I raise cats and dogs because I think they are very cute. In fact, there is also a lot of knowledge in it. It's a pity that at first They didn't support me. Later, my father gave me a shop, and my sister-in-law simply gave me 30,000 taels of silver after passing through the door. I plan to have the opportunity to go to the south and north in the future to see if there are other breeds of cats and dogs. .”
Zhao Baohua couldn't help being shocked, Princess Duanxian actually gave the eldest son 30,000 taels of silver to raise cats and dogs, this is a bit too generous!
After June Day, Yanjing City is already very hot, but this year there is no way to go out to escape the heat, so Xie Zhiwei had to put more ice basins at home. Even so, it was too hot to sleep every night.
Finally, on the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, autumn began and the westerly wind blew up, and the heat gradually dissipated.
In the capital city, at the gate of Old Caomen Street, a carriage was parked, and there were a dozen jars on it, filled with last year's chrysanthemum brewing. It is said that it was buried in the ground of the chrysanthemum garden for almost a year before being raised. from.
The rice **** were being moved by people, and they kept asking, "Be careful, don't bump into them. If you drop a jar, be careful with your skin!"
After a while, all the wine jars were moved to the cellar, and Mi Tuan brought up the jars himself, and went to the palace in a carriage.
In the side hall of Huangji Hall, dishes have already been placed. Lu Yan has been eating very lightly for the past two years. The only meat dish is winter melon and shrimp soup.
Lu Yan had already sat down at the table, and was about to pick up his rice bowl, when he saw the wine jar in Mi Tuan's arms, his brows and eyes became gentle, "Did the princess send it here?"
"Yes!" Mi Tuan cheerfully put the wine jar on the table, glanced at the food on the table, "Master, the servant asked the imperial dining room to add two more dishes for you, try the chrysanthemum sent by the princess wine?"
Before the mud seal was patted, Lu Yan nodded without any objection. He took the wine jar and patted it lightly.
Mi Tuan couldn't help but said, "Master, the princess sent ten altars of wine, saying that there were more brewed last year, and there were not many people drinking it there."
This jug of wine weighed about five catties, and Lu Yan poured a jug out of a jug, and handed the excess to Mi Tuan, "The princess has always loved you very much, let's share it!"
Mi Tuan was overwhelmed with surprise and hugged the wine jar to kneel down to thank him. Lu Yan waved his hand, poured himself a glass, and slowly sipped.
The imperial dining room added two more big dishes, and Lu Yan didn't move his chopsticks, just drank a catty of wine with a plate of roasted peanuts with celery, and ate another half bowl of rice.
The wine was not on the top, but it made people feel a little complicated. He stood under the eaves of the Huangji Hall, and the west wind gently lifted his robe and slowly floated in the air.
The palace lanterns were already lit, and there was a cloud floating in the distance, but after a few breaths, the weather changed, and for a while, there was a strong wind.
