After the salted fish is married

14. Braised Pork

The 'treasure' bestowed by the palace was hidden under the bed by Yan Xining, afraid that Bai Tao would peek at it, so he pressed two big rocks on it.If it wasn't for the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs engraved on it, he was afraid that the royal family would find out the whereabouts of these things in the future, and he would definitely throw the box into the lake.

Yan Xining crawled out from under the bed with a disheveled face, while Bai Tao carefully looked at his young master: "Brother Ning, what is it..."

He only saw some jade sticks of different thicknesses in the box, and before he could figure out what those were, his young master had already closed the box with a sullen face.

Yan Xining showed a sinister smile: "Eat."

Bai Tao responded with an embarrassing sound, the young master's appearance is so terrifying!He'd better eat the wontons.The wontons in chicken soup were so delicious, he decided to open his belly to eat until he was full!

After eating a few wontons, Yan Xining's mood improved again.Isn't it just a box of indescribable toys?It's not worth his fuss.

After figuring it out, Yan Xining breathed a sigh of relief, and he took a sip of the chicken soup.

Um!So fresh!

Wontons are really something you can never get tired of eating. After drinking wontons in chicken soup at noon, Yan Xining made crispy and delicious fried wontons at night.Served with thick rice porridge, white pottery has a round belly.

Bai Tao rubbed his belly in satisfaction: "Master, wontons are really delicious."

Yan Xining couldn't move, so he responded, "Yes."

Ever since her father passed away, Yan Xining felt that being able to eat was a blessing.Even in the days of 996, he would eat at regular times.The ancestor said that food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important things in life, but in his heart, filling his stomach is the most important thing.

If you can't get enough to eat, what ideal future can you talk about?

Bai Tao stretched happily: "Master, if only we could live like this every day."

Yan Xining responded with a smile: "Yes."

How happy I would be if I could go on like this all the time!

Early the next morning, Bai Tao dug out the big basket at home.He wants to dig up all the shepherd's purse in Pinmei Garden and let the young master make wontons to eat!

The deliciousness of the shepherd's purse and meat wontons made him forget his fear of Pinmeiyuan. He carried a bamboo basket and hummed a song across the small bridge.

Yan Xining looked at Bai Tao's back and couldn't help laughing. He thought that Bai Tao would succumb to the temptation of various fruits, but he didn't expect him to fall into the embrace of shepherd's purse meat wonton.

After Baitao went to Plum Garden, Wenzhang Garden suddenly became quiet.Yan Xining bent down to inspect his vegetable field, at this moment, he saw the guard who was always on duty at Wenzhang Garden coming over with a food box.

After seeing Yan Xining, the guard put the food box on the ground.He bowed respectfully: "This subordinate has seen the princess."

Yan Xining smiled and reached out to pick up the food box next to her: "Good morning."

Ever since Yan Xining started cooking and packed some of the dishes for the guards to go back to refill, every morning the guards would return the food boxes they took away yesterday.The guards are very particular, and the returned food boxes and the tableware inside are always cleaned.

Just when Yan Xining was about to lift the food box, the guards stopped him: "Princess, the food box is a bit heavy, let the subordinates come down and carry it."

Yan Xining didn't take it seriously, he grabbed the handle of the food box: "The food box can be heavy..." Preface retracted!Food boxes are really heavy!Heavier than a full dish!It was so heavy that he couldn't lift one hand.

Yan Xining looked at the guard in surprise: "Is there something inside? Why is it so heavy?"

As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the food box, and saw a box full of pork belly in the food box!

Yan Xining was puzzled: "This is?"

The elder brother of the guard smiled foolishly: "Yesterday, everyone ate the wontons made by the princess and thought they were very delicious."

Yan Xining understood: "Do you still want to eat shepherd's purse meat wontons today?"

The elder brother of the guard quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I dare not bother the princess. It's like this. After eating wontons yesterday, we realized that the meat and vegetables in Wenzhang Garden are distributed according to the rules. If we eat more, you will eat less." Everyone felt very sorry, and bought you some meat to make up for it."

Fearing that Yan Xining might misunderstand, the guard quickly explained: "Princess, don't worry, the meat we buy is good meat, no worse than the ones bought by the cooks of the palace."

Yan Xining was stunned, for a moment he had mixed feelings in his heart and didn't know what to say.

After his family suffered a sudden change in his previous life, he saw a lot of hypocrisy and selfishness among people.His relatives and friends who are enthusiastic about him on weekdays are lucky if they don't make trouble when he needs help.

After entering the workplace, everyone wears hypocritical smiles and intrigues behind their backs.In order to get promoted and raise salary, brothers and sisters who are good friends can stab each other with knives.

He has been confused for a long time: his parents taught him to treat people with sincerity and to exchange sincerity for sincerity.But why can't his sincerity be exchanged for others' sincerity?

However, in the remote Wenzhang Garden, he received the most sincere feedback.He gave inadvertently, and flowers bloomed in the dust.

Seeing that Yan Xining's eyes were slightly red, the elder guard was so frightened that his body went stiff.He was at a loss: "Wang, Wangfei, did your subordinate say something wrong?"

Yan Xining smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing."

The food box is rather heavy, and it is a bit difficult for him to carry it: "Brother guard, please help me carry the food box in?"

The guard breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you can accept the meat! During this time, the brothers have eaten too much of your food, and they feel very sorry."

He strode towards the kitchen with the food box in hand.Yan Xining saw that he was tall and strong and his steps were vigorous, and the distance of each step seemed to be measured with a ruler.To say that he is not a soldier, Yan Xining does not believe it.

So he tentatively asked: "Brother guard, did you come from the army?"

The guard nodded: "Yes. My subordinate's name is Wang Chunfa, and he used to be the captain of the Chi Ling Army's Zuowei."

The Chiling Army is a well-known army guarding the border of Chu and Liao.There are often small countries on the border of Chu and Liao causing troubles. As long as the Chiling Army appears, they can win an overwhelming victory no matter how chaotic the situation is.

After Wang Chunfa said this, Yan Xining was startled, she didn't expect that the guard in the mansion turned out to be a lieutenant colonel!

Yan Xining was puzzled and said: "Since you are a captain, why did you come to be a guard in the palace?" Isn't it better to develop in the army?How can the guards of the palace be compared with the lieutenant of the army?

Wang Chunfa said seriously: "Where the master is, we will be there."

It was only then that Yan Xining remembered that the Marshal of the Chi Ling Army was none other than Ji Song.

He sensitively grasped the word 'we', so he hesitated: "Besides you, are there any members of the Chiling Army in the mansion?"

Wang Chunfa hummed, and he put the food box on the table in the kitchen: "After the master's accident, the brothers are worried that he will leave with the people in Beijing. After discussing, some brothers sent the master back to Beijing, and the other stayed behind. In the army."

Yan Xining was surprised: "Huh? Can the generals of the Chi Ling Army leave the army at will?"

Speaking of this, Wang Chunfa was very proud: "Hey! How could you leave at will? We had a fight, and the one who wins can follow the master, and the one who loses can only stay!"

Yan Xining: ...Can it still be like this?

Wang Chunfa's eyes were gloomy: "Fortunately, we followed. Someone wanted to kill the master along the way. Thanks to our presence, the master was sent back to the capital smoothly."

Yan Xining said softly: "That's not what I asked, what I mean is, if you stay in the palace, what will the Chiling army do? Won't someone impeach you?"

It is a serious crime for a general in the army to leave his post without authorization. No matter how lenient His Majesty is to Ji Song, it is impossible for so many generals to stay in Ji Song's residence as bodyguards.

Wang Chunfa said casually: "Hey, aren't there other brothers in the Chiling Army? When we left the Chiling Army, we had handed over all the military affairs. What can Yu Shi do to get dozens of civilians?"

Yan Xining's eyes widened slightly: "I see!"

Wang Chunfa had lingering fears in his heart: "If you want me to say, the water in the capital is deeper than that in the border! The master came to the capital to really arrive at the Longtan and Tiger's Den."

The third prince, Ji Song, is one of His Majesty's favorite princes. His Majesty is getting old, and the battle for the heir apparent is intensifying.Ji Song has a solid foundation in the army, how can those princes and ministers in the court who don't want him to be in the top position look good on him?

The original owner once heard that Ji Song was injured because he was betrayed by his trusted subordinates.In the iron-blooded army, there are factional disputes and open and secret battles. How could he be alone when he returned to the capital?

And it is even more difficult for Wang Chunfa and the others. How much military merit do they need to accumulate to become a captain of the Chi Ling Army?But for Ji Song, they gave up as soon as they said they would.For Ji Song, they would rather condescend to be the guards of the palace, and face threats from their opponents.

Yan Xining said in admiration: "Brother guards understand righteousness!"

Wang Chunfa's eyes widened suddenly, and he scratched his hair naively: "Oh, my subordinate is talking too much again!"

Immediately, he bowed his hands and begged: "Princess, please don't tell the boss what the subordinate said to you just now. If the boss finds out, the subordinate will be punished again."

Yan Xining solemnly raised her hand and swore: "Don't worry, God knows what happened today."

Only then did Wang Chunfa breathe a sigh of relief: "The boss often taught us that the capital city is no better than Beijiang, and Prince Rong's mansion is no better than the Chiling Army. There are traitors in the Chiling Army, which is as solid as gold, let alone the Rongwang Mansion, which is full of people and eyes. Hearing this, he wants to cause trouble for the master. Princess, you are a good person, brothers can't speak, but their hearts are bright."

After Wang Chunfa said a few words and left, Yan Xining looked at the box of pork belly he sent and fell into deep thought.

The Chi Ling Army defends the homeland and the country, without them the mountains and rivers would be restless.Now that they are submitting to the palace to do their best, Yan Xining also wants to do something for them.However, he didn't know how to order soldiers and fight, and he couldn't strategize. After thinking about it, he decided to reciprocate: use the meat they sent, and make them some delicious food.

When Bai Tao came back with a big basket of shepherd's purse, he saw his young master was cutting meat, and the fist-sized pieces of meat were piled up into hills in the wooden basin on one side.Bai Tao wowed: "Wow, young master, there's so much meat! Shall we make wontons?!"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "No, we cook braised pork."

A real man should drink a lot and eat meat, braised pork must be arranged!

Ji Song: ...

Old cat: What's the matter, Songsong?

Ji Song: I hope there will be no teeth marks on the meat.
