Chapter 150 Congratulations

The so-called poisoners are a few ordinary people who live in the western part of the city, have a family and a family, and are familiar with the western part of the city. It's not that hard to do something.

If the accused of the crime of poisoning goes to the yamen, first of all, he will have to be punished with [-] boards, and then he will be locked up in a prison. If no one is killed, he will be released after a few years. If someone dies, he will pay for his life. things,

The people who arranged this way probably felt soft-hearted, and would do something if they didn't have the heart to see these people die in vain.

When the incident was reported to Shen Ran, the cause and effect were already quite clear. The secret guard who came to report asked Shen Ran if he wanted to bring everyone over for interrogation in person, but Shen Ran refused. Now it is impossible for him to let others Entering the general's mansion casually, as for going out for interrogation, it's even more impossible. What people are waiting for is for him to go out.

Shen Ran said to the hidden guard: "Leave it to Uncle De, and let him send it directly to the Yamen. Besides, who caught them poisoning, has anyone drank the poisoned water?"

The dark guard replied: "It was discovered by a man named Yao Da. Yao Da caught those people just as they were about to put poison in the water, so no one has ever drank poisonous water."

"Let Uncle De reward Yao Da with two taels of silver in the future, and we must take more precautions in the future, lest someone do something wrong. Let this matter be like this."

Since the other party chose to poison people and didn't want to directly kill people to make things worse, Shen Ran cooperated with them.

Perhaps because the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, King Min and King Guang saw that Shen Ran hadn't moved, and there was no follow-up action. According to the secret guard, those people were only beaten [-] times after entering the Yamen, and then they were released.

The house on the west side of the city was still being repaired, Xue Xing'an went back to take a look occasionally, but Shen Ran never went out again.

After another three days, it was finally the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Xue family's Buddha Jumping Wall stewed for eight or nine hours was brought out. up.

The original plan was that General Xue would take Xue Qinghe, Xue Qinglian and Xue Xing'an together, but Xue Qinghe's marriage had already been settled so there was no need to go anymore, so Xue Qinglian, Xue Qingyang and Xue Xing'an went together instead.

As for Shen Ran, who was expected to appear by those people, he was studying at home how to use Buddha to jump over the wall to sell it for money.

The Empress Dowager's birthday is much more lively than the Empress's. After all, all the missions are here. At the beginning, there are various performances, singing and dancing sessions, and then there are gifts.

Starting from the various missions, then the lower-ranking ministers in the court, and then going up, and finally the princes and princes.

The ceremony of the Xue family happened to be in the middle. When the jar was carried in, it was full of incense all the way. Many people could smell the food inside, and even the delicious ones stared at the jar and started to salivate.

The Son of Heaven has eaten Buddha Jumping over the Wall, and he still thinks it is endless aftertaste. He has been looking forward to the gift from the Xue family since his birthday. Ask General Xue, "What did Xue Qing send?"

General Xue explained: "This thing is a kind of food. It is called Buddha Jumping Wall, also known as Fushouquan. It is a congratulatory gift for the Empress Dowager today. This Buddha Jumping Wall is made of dozens of ingredients, and nine of them are stewed on the fire. Time, when the lid of the altar is lifted, the fragrance will be fragrant for ten miles, and the taste is even more intoxicating."

The fragrance became more and more intense, and many people were not in the mood to listen to what General Xue said. The queen mother also felt curious when she looked at the jar, and said: "Since it is so magical, and there is such a name, the Ai family really likes it. Why don't you just open the jar?" Guy see what it is, it's so unique."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the altar. Xue Xing'an personally came to uncover the cover. As soon as the altar cover was lifted, the fragrance wafted out, and the huge hall was instantly enveloped by the fragrance. Many people smelled it. The taste is already mesmerizing.

The queen mother also laughed, "It really is very fragrant. It seems that the general is not lying, so I don't know how it tastes."

General Xue laughed loudly, full of confidence, "Taste, you will know it."

Serve rice and vegetables for your own use

Before General Xue came, he took Xue Xing'an back to his seat and sat down, waiting for his share of you Buddha to jump over the wall.

General Xue wiped his mouth. Although he has eaten it at home several times, he has never stewed it for such a long time. Of course, the taste this time will be better than before. It's not within his consideration.

Xue Qinglian is a girl, it's not easy to look around, so she talks to Xue Qingyang, Xue Qingyang is a little clever, knows what to do when she enters the palace this time, no one will say anything even if others urinate and look around, just look at the young masters of each family Brother, if you see something that is not bad, tell Xue Qinglian, and then Xue Qinglian will take a sneaky look, shake your head if you think it is not good, and talk to Xue Qingyang if you think it is not bad.

And Xue Xing'an was on the sidelines acting as a transparent person, occasionally helping to cover up the actions of his younger siblings, to be a competent older brother.

But after Buddha Jumping Wall is divided into everyone's hands, all thoughts are gone. Such tempting food is in front of you, why not eat it quickly?

A small bowl for each person, three or two mouthfuls can solve the problem. Afterwards, many people expressed their unfinished regrets, thinking that another bowl, no, ten bowls will be fine.

The emperor, the empress dowager and the empress were all very satisfied. They praised the gift of the Xue family in turn, and then there were the voices of praise and flattery from the ministers. Although they stole the limelight from many people, the taste is real and convincing. .

Not only that, but also people from various missions said that this Buddha jumping over the wall is a delicacy that can only be found in the sky, and it can't be eaten a few times in the world.

And after the Buddha jumped over the wall, other people's gifts were no longer so eye-catching, but it was also expected by everyone, and not many people were dissatisfied.

The emperor is not yet a prince, and the prince is also young. King Guang, the grandson of the emperor who came from afar, became the last person to present a gift. There are two kinds of gifts for King Guang. The sculptor's craftsmanship is excellent, the characters for longevity are lifelike, and the jade is also shining like light, which is very gratifying to look at.

The Queen Mother Guangwang introduced: "This jade is warm jade, warm in winter and cool in summer, and jade nourishes people. It is most suitable for you to play with, grandma."

The Queen Mother was also very satisfied with King Guang's gift, and immediately asked someone to send the jade to her to look at it again and again, and praised King Guang several times.

King Guang smiled, "I have another gift for my grandma," King Guang clapped his hands after speaking, and the maid brought a small tray up.

The queen mother looked at the quilt in the middle of the tray curiously.

URL: Covered location, ask: "What is this?"

King Guang uncovered the cloth with his own hands, and there was a small box inside. He opened the box again, and there was a crimson elixir in the middle of the box.

King Guang said: "This thing is called Zhuyan Pill. It was specially refined by a master with profound skills when I was in Dingzhou. After eating this Zhuyan Pill, you can rejuvenate your old age and stay young forever, just like you are eighteen or nineteen years old. Like a girl, today, on the occasion of my grandmother's birthday, I will dedicate this Zhuyan Pill to my grandmother."

There is no woman who does not love beauty. Even though the queen mother is old, she still cares about her appearance very much. On the queen's birthday, Xue's family gave the queen a set of rouge and gouache but did not give it to her. The queen mother was a little unhappy, but she didn't expect it Go, her dignified queen mother can't take the initiative to speak.

I was hoping that the Xue family would give her something to make her happy this time, but I didn’t expect that the rouge powder turned into food. Of course, the food also made her extremely satisfied, and she was not dissatisfied with the Xue family, but she didn’t receive what she wanted. , a bit regretful.

Unexpectedly, there is a King of Light behind this, Zhuyan Dan knew it was a good thing as soon as he heard the name, it was a joy to the queen mother, and said quickly: "Submit it quickly, and show it to the Ai family."

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should not appear in the palace casually. Who knows whether the master is true or not, whether this elixir is good or bad, whether it will brighten the face or be poisonous after eating, these are all unknown.But King Guang dared to choose to take it out at such a time. The most important thing is that the queen mother likes it. Even the emperor should give the queen mother some face and let her take a look, so she won't immediately blame King Guang.

After the Empress Dowager got the Zhuyan Pill, she looked left and right, and she was satisfied no matter how she looked.

It was so confusing that people wanted to swallow it in one gulp, and even made the queen mother feel that as long as she took this elixir, she would always be as beautiful as when she was young.

Fortunately, the voice of the emperor interrupted the empress dowager's thoughts at this time, "You have a heart, not only came from thousands of miles away to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, but also prepared such a heavy gift, as a reward."

King Guang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the emperor, so he knelt down and said, "It's the mother's birthday, and the sons and ministers should give gifts, and the ministers don't ask for rewards."

The emperor glanced at King Guang and smiled: "You really don't want this reward?"

King Guang firmly wanted to retreat: "No."

"Since you don't want it, forget it. Originally, I thought about the congratulatory gift from my mother who liked you, and wanted you to stay in the capital for more days before heading back to Dingzhou. Since you don't want it, then follow the original plan. After the birthday is over, you will go back to Dingzhou." Let's go." The emperor said, feeling quite sorry.

King Guang: "..." Who the hell would have thought of such a reward.

And he had to bite the bullet and thank the emperor for his kindness.

Of course, the emperor didn't say this to him alone, but to everyone present, including the queen mother, to remind them that King Guang is a prince who has been given a fief, and the reason why the fief is far away from the capital It was because he rebelled.

The courtiers are very sophisticated, so they naturally understand what the emperor means.

Even the queen mother calmed down because of the emperor's words, seeing that Zhuyan Dan lost a little bit of thought of eating, but she was still very satisfied on the surface, she praised the king of Guang and gave him a lot of rewards thing.

After the gift offering, we watched two more singing and dancing performances. The emperor, empress and queen mother all left one after another, and the rest was the carnival of the ministers.

Usually, this kind of situation is small officials flattering their superiors, or officials they are acquainted with sitting together drinking and chatting, but today is different, these people all came to General Xue's side, with one purpose, to find out who the Buddha jumped over the wall How did you do it?

There are also thick-skinned ones who directly ask if they can go to the general's mansion for a meal. General Xue has never been surrounded by so many people, and they are all very enthusiastic. He is a little at a loss and wants to turn to himself for help. Son, it turned out that a group of people surrounded his son, only Xue Qinglian and Xue Qingyang were ignored.

It's just that this girl is a child under ten years old, and he can't call to help, so he can only deal with it by himself.

However, there are also people who have made different choices, for example, Duan Wang.

Originally, King Duan planned to ask Xue Xingan or General Xue about the matter of Buddha jumping over the wall after his imperial brother left, but he didn't realize that there were too many people who had the same idea as him, and he couldn't squeeze them out. , could only silently retreat to the side.

Then I saw Xue Qingyang and Xue Qinglian who were ignored, Duan Wang went to take Xue Qingyang away, and at the same time asked Xue Qinglian to talk to his princess.

Duan Wang held Xue Qingyang in his arms and asked: "Did your sister-in-law make this thing again? It's so embarrassing. I don't give this king a copy of such a good thing. I will go find it after I leave the palace." He settles the score."

Xue Qingyang's face was very indifferent, "Prince Duan, I'm still a child."

This made King Duan laugh out loud, and he rubbed his hands on Xue Qingyang's face, "It's rare to see a child as smart as you, you must know it, tell me quickly, don't worry, I won't let you talk for nothing Yes," Duan Wang said and took out two bank notes from his pocket and put them in Xue Qingyang's hands.

Xue Qingyang: "..." I'm really just a child.

But it doesn't matter if you say it for the sake of the bank note. At worst, you can give the bank note to your sister-in-law when you go back. After that, my sister-in-law said, the method is very simple, just need ingredients, our capital is not near the sea, and many ingredients are not available or easy to buy, so no one has done it before."

Duan Wang thought about why he is a prince, why is it difficult to buy some ingredients, "What kind of ingredients are they?"

Xue Qingyang shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but my sister-in-law said that most of them are from the sea, you should go to the house and ask my sister-in-law, or wait until the eldest brother is free.

You can ask him. "

After Xue Qingyang finished speaking, he jumped off Duanwang's lap, put the banknotes neatly in his hands, and went back to his seat to sit obediently. At the same time, he felt in his heart that a few words could be exchanged for 200 taels of banknotes. So worth it.

Duan Wang smiled, decided not to care about the child, and went to find his own princess, frantically implying that she got the words out of Xue Qinglian's mouth.

However, Xue Qinglian didn't know much more than Xue Qingyang. If he wanted to know more, he had to go to the General's Mansion to ask Shen Ran in person.

Duan Wang thought for a while and asked Xue Qinglian to bring a message to Shen Ran: "Tell your sister-in-law that there is already news about what he asked the king to ask last time, so let him prepare something delicious, and tomorrow the king will bring the princess to the door. "

Xue Qinglian didn't know exactly what it was, but it was okay to say something.

However, what they didn't expect at all was that not to mention tomorrow, even the day after tomorrow, there were not a few people who wanted to enter the general's mansion to eat Buddha and jump over the wall, or even more.
