Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

Xie Xuan went out, and his own carriage arrived in front of him. Outside the carriage was a coachman, and inside the carriage were two servants with two wooden barrels, a casserole pot, and several copper pots. It was the mutton soup that Xie Xuan ordered to make today.Following Xie Xuan's order, the group drove to the Ministry of Rites.

Xie Xuan knew that the Ministry of Rites was busy these two days, so he didn't go in directly, but asked someone to go in and inform Li Heng.Li Heng happened to finish the final count, and was overjoyed to hear that Xie Xuan had arrived, so he went out to greet him in person.

Xie Xuanli bowed to Li Heng at the door and said, "I've seen Uncle Li."

"Two days ago, I asked Xiaoyuan to bring you back for dinner to celebrate your official appointment. Xiaoyuan said that Dali Temple was too busy. Yesterday I heard that there was an assassin in Dali Temple, and you were stabbed. I still want to wait for two days Take a look at you after you've been busy, are you okay? Your hands are still hanging, and you are seriously injured, aren't you? "

"Uncle Li has a heart. There is nothing serious. It is just a skin injury. It is not a serious problem if it does not reach the muscles and bones. It's just that there are too many rumors from Dali eunuchs, and the rumors are more serious. Yesterday the emperor sent an imperial physician to treat him, and he also said that it was not serious. Nothing unusual." Xie Xuan replied.

"The emperor personally sent someone to treat you, and he really valued you very much. It's a good thing, a good thing. By the way, what are you doing here today? I just finished my work here, but if you come to pick up Xiao Yuan, I'm afraid you have time to wait. Unfortunately, such a big event happened when he just joined the Temple Department, many things have not been fully understood, and I, as a father, can't pretend to be public for personal gain and cause people to gossip."

"Uncle Li, there is no need to worry. Xiaoyuan is sensible, and he can do well with the things he told him to do. The day before yesterday, the emperor rewarded some good mutton, which were pulled from the northwest and slaughtered. I originally wanted him to come back to eat, but nephew Knowing that Xiaoyuan was busy, I asked someone to prepare it and send it to the Ministry of Rites. I cooked two buckets, the one in the bucket was for my colleagues, and the one in the casserole was for Uncle Li and Xiaoyuan. I bought a pot and a copper stove, and now I have a bowl of hot water to drink, so I am more interested in doing things." While speaking, Xie Xuan called his people to move the guy from the carriage down.

As soon as Li Heng saw that the two barrels were quite large, he quickly asked the Ministry of Rites to send a man to help. A group of people worked together to bring in the mutton soup and put it in the council hall.Several stoves were set up, and everyone gathered around. The mutton soup was simmered with mutton bones for a whole day.

Li Zhiyuan came after smelling the fragrance, and seeing Xie Xuan and Li Heng standing together with a smile on his face, he was startled, walked over with a guilty conscience and asked Xie Xuan, "Why are you here?"

Xie Xuan's smile was about to overflow, and the joy on his face could not be hidden, he said to Li Zhiyuan: "If you put the mutton in again, you can't eat it, I sent half of it to Li's house for my aunt and Yiyi to eat, and the other half will be cooked today When it comes out, I'll give it to you and Uncle Li to eat."

Li Zhiyuan looked at the two buckets, and then at the happy colleagues around him, and suddenly felt a little distressed, the mutton rewarded by the emperor, this fool just boiled it in one pot?A little depressed in my heart, I reached out to take the pair of bowls and chopsticks and was about to go to the battlefield, but was stopped by Xie Xuan.

"Wait." Xie Xuan said, and then asked Li Heng to lead the way to Lord Shangshu's office.The attendant took out a small stove, set it up and lit the fire, and put the casserole that he brought in with him on top. "Okay, don't wait here, it's cold, go outside and have some soup." Xie Xuan ordered, and the two of them thanked and closed the door and left.

Li Zhiyuan couldn't wait to take off the lid of the pot, scooped up a bowl of soup and gave it to Li Heng first, then put another bowl, brought it to his mouth, blew it twice and then swallowed it, one mouthful warmed his heart. "You, you, didn't I just say this morning, half of it was sent to Li's mansion, and the other half was left in your own mansion. Why, why did you cook it all and send it over. This is the mutton rewarded by the emperor, how much?" It's not easy, I still want to eat two more bites." Li Zhiyuan dipped a piece of pork ribs in the dipping sauce that Xie Xuan brought him from the mansion, and put it in his mouth.Although the mutton has been stored for a day, it is still very fresh when it is frozen in the cellar. Lamb chops, together with the sauce that Xie Xuan personally prepared for him, eating it in one bite, is full of the aroma of fermented bean curd and sesame sauce, and it is also mixed with minced garlic, which not only relieves the smell, but also adds some flavor, but this One sip, Li Zhiyuan couldn't be more satisfied.

Xie Xuan looked at Li Zhiyuan enjoying himself with his eyes closed, and couldn't help laughing: "How much mutton do you think the emperor rewarded, it's less than ten catties, and I sent five catties to Li's mansion, and the remaining five catties are in this casserole gone."

Li Zhiyuan gave him a puzzled look, and Xie Xuan took the initiative to explain: "The ones outside are all mutton that I ordered someone to go to the morning market to buy this morning." Hearing this sentence, Li Zhiyuan ate with confidence.

Li Heng felt that his son was really stingy, and he couldn't see it, and said: "Brother Xie, you have already left to set up a mansion. You eat other people's food all day long, and those who live in other people's houses are ashamed to make such requests."

"It's not my wish to go to his house. If he didn't want to, he would have kicked me out a long time ago." Li Zhiyuan muttered unconvinced.

Seeing this, Xie Xuan quickly came out to smooth things over: "I'm happy, I'm happy. When I first set up the mansion, I was lonely at home alone. With Xiaoyuan, the mansion is considered to have some popularity. I really feel sorry for Uncle Li. It's so easy." The son I raised was kidnapped by me to the house."

"Hahahaha, if you don't dislike it, I'm at ease, this kid will rely on you to love him." Li Heng laughed, then turned to Li Zhiyuan again, and said with a dark face: "You are not allowed to play wild in your brother's house."

"It's okay, it's okay, the more joyful he is, the happier I am, after all, we are a family." Xie Xuan can't eat mutton, and he doesn't drink soup, but at this moment he is not hungry at all. Seeing Li Zhiyuan eating happily, he It's more comfortable than eating it yourself.

On the other hand, Li Zhiyuan listened to the conversation between the two, obviously he had never made such a joke before, but today he and Xie Xuan just pierced the window paper, somehow saw Li Heng and Xie Xuan get along so well There is always a strange feeling in my heart, unconsciously thinking of the scene where Xie Xuan held him in his arms with one hand this morning, and blushed immediately.

"Why is your face so red?" Xie Xuan asked.

Li Zhiyuan was extremely embarrassed on the side, stuffed his mouth with meat, and quickly changed the subject: "The fire in the room is too hot." He was extremely angry in his heart, thinking that Xie Xuan must have done it on purpose.

The etiquette department is always busy. Even if the group eats happily and the atmosphere is good, they still make quick decisions. After they are full, they immediately put themselves into busy preparations.Xie Xuan asked people to pack up the empty bucket and stove and put them back in the carriage.

Li Zhiyuan swallowed the last bite of lamb chops with difficulty, satiated with wine and food, and said to Xie Xuan satisfied: "I will do the final inventory today, and I will take the things to the imperial mausoleum later. I am responsible for the sacrificial things. I have to personally Go to the battle for acceptance, if you go back too late, don't wait for me."

"Okay." Xie Xuan replied, and offered Li Zhiyuan a cup of tea to relieve his boredom, then said goodbye to Li Heng and left.

Obviously Xie Xuan followed his orders, but Li Zhiyuan was quite dissatisfied with his attitude of only saying one word, so he secretly made a note, thinking of settling accounts after the fall, and then was forced into the busy inspection.When Li Zhiyuan walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites, it was already the second watch. He rubbed his brows, stepped into his carriage, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Xie Xuan sitting inside.
