Chapter 334: They don't want to experience the feeling of losing both their money and their liv
After the soldiers who had been awarded the title left the palace, a few of them looked at each other and tacitly decided to take a detour on the way back. If the great benefactor was still giving away money...
Well, money is nothing, they will just go and join in the fun. If they know there is money but choose to turn a blind eye, they really can't do it and will just go and take a look, then they can give up.
Unfortunately, when they went there, most people had already left. This was a surprise prepared by Shu Xiaoxiao to welcome his senior brother. The main theme was happiness and festivity, and he was expressing his feelings of welcoming his senior brother back to Beijing. But he was not a sucker, and he even gave money to people after they left.
When the soldiers came back, the area was almost cleaned, not to mention the silver. The silver in the corners had been touched by some children.
Although they were a little disappointed, they didn't dare to waste time. They had to go back and rest. There was a celebration banquet prepared by the palace in the evening. They had to pack up and go back to the palace! So they came to take a look.
After the event, Shu Xiaoxiao went to Tianranju to prepare a banquet. There must be a welcoming banquet for the return of the fellow apprentice! There were only three of them, and when the second apprentice came back, they must have a good chat.
It's just right to prepare some food that Senior Brother Yun has never eaten before. After all, Shu Xiaoxiao has discovered a lot of good things in the past few years, which has greatly enriched the people's dining tables. Senior Brother Yun has not been in Kyoto in the past few years, but has missed a lot of delicious food. This time when he comes back, Shu Xiaoxiao will definitely let him taste it well.
The most suitable one is naturally hotpot. Not only can you taste more dishes, but you can also eat as long as you want. It is simply the best choice for dinner parties. At that time, they can chat while eating without worrying about the food getting cold.
As for the hot pot recipe, it was he who sold it to Tianranju. Although she only found out in the end that Tianranju was actually the property of the Sixth Prince, there was no problem with it. The dishes she provided and the money given by Tianranju showed their real wealth.
So Shu Xiaoxiao directly sent all the dipping methods for hot pot to Tianranju. After all, they were one family. And although sesame seeds had not been discovered yet, peanuts were available, and peanut butter was just as delicious with hot pot.
Therefore, their first choice for dinner parties is naturally Tianranju. Although Tianranju has quite a lot of dishes, some non-seasonal dishes are still not available.
Shu Xiaoxiao came over to take a look to see if there was anything missing so that she could have it delivered to her. She had to give her senior brother a satisfactory experience. The chefs here have absolutely mastered the thickness of the meat slices. Every slice they cut is translucent, so there is no need to worry about that. There are also various meatballs. Tianranju said that they will start making them early tomorrow morning to ensure that tomorrow's ingredients will be absolutely fresh and delicious. There are other vegetables, but Shu Xiaoxiao had another basket delivered. The ones she grows taste better.
As for drinks, the two senior brothers should like to drink. Shu Xiaoxiao also chose a kind of white wine with a low alcohol content and sweet taste for herself. Thanks to the ancient distillation technology, the alcohol content of the brewed wine is generally low, otherwise they would not have to drink three big bowls of white wine at every turn.
Although the alcohol content was not high, Shu Xiaoxiao had no interest in that bland thing, so it was better to have a drink. There was also a piece of fruit after the meal, which Shu Xiaoxiao had specially ripened with ginseng water after counting the time. She ripened two watermelons, and now there were two ripe watermelons. One would be sent to the palace tomorrow, and the other they would use as fruit tomorrow. It was perfect.
Shu Xiaoxiao also specifically told them to chill the watermelon with ice cubes tomorrow, which would be a great way to cool down after they finish eating hot pot.
Tianranju also carefully wrote down every request of Shu Xiaoxiao. Lord Ye not only provided them with novel dishes, but he was also the master's junior brother. The master's attitude towards this junior brother has always been clear. Anyway, he must respect him and not be neglected in the slightest.
Therefore, Lord Ye is definitely their most distinguished guest among distinguished guests. As servants, they naturally have to serve him well, write down all his requests, and ensure that Lord Ye is satisfied tomorrow.
Knowing that they were going to attend a celebration banquet in the palace, Shu Xiaoxiao specifically told the Sixth Prince about tomorrow's dinner in advance, and asked the Sixth Prince to make an appointment with Yun Qinghan and remember to go for dinner tomorrow.
Originally, for such a small gathering, she could send invitations, but given their relationship, it would be difficult to find someone to write for her, and she didn't want to write it herself. It's not that her handwriting is too ugly. After several years of practice, her handwriting is still presentable, and it can even be said to be good. But she doesn't know if it's because she is a woman or because she lacks strength, the words she writes are always too delicate and lack strength.
Although the master said that it might be because of her lack of pen power, she didn't like to spread her writings. People say that handwriting reflects a person's character. The master didn't think that way. What if someone found out that it was wrong? So she should wait until she could write in a sharp handwriting before thinking about invitations.
As for the celebration banquet in the palace, with so many generals, there would inevitably be drinking and so on, so Shu Xiaoxiao simply did not attend. Anyway, she had not officially entered the court yet, so it did not matter whether she attended or not. She decided to go back to rest as she had to return to the academy in two days.
The celebration banquet in the palace was also a harmonious occasion for the emperor and his subjects. Normally, this was the time for the princes to win over people. After all, even if you wanted to rebel, you had to have troops. Unfortunately, seeing their father eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, all the princes lost interest in winning over people.
They went through so much trouble to win them over, and sent people and gifts, which took a lot of effort, but in the end, with just one word from the emperor, the people were sent far away. With such a long distance, everything was out of reach. What was the point of winning them over?
Father has done this a lot in the past two years. Although they don't know when he developed this kind of bad taste, they don't want to experience the feeling of losing both their money and their lives again.
Instead of winning these people over, it would be better for them to slowly train themselves. What's more, these people were brought back by Yun Qinghan, and they are not easy to get along with. The emperor will definitely not stand on their side, so they should just wait and see.
At a glance the whole hall seemed to be full of joy, but a closer look revealed that there was some discord among the people. Most of the soldiers were toasting each other happily, but there was one unexpected place.
He was a young general with regular features and a heroic appearance. He was wearing a dark blue robe with lapels that reached the ground. The robe was embroidered with delicate patterns and a white jade pendant with a delicate texture hanging around his waist. Even without clothes, one could tell that he came from a noble family. He was somewhat out of tune with the burly soldiers around him.
It stands to reason that brothers who have been through life and death together should have a good relationship even if their family backgrounds are a little different. Just like Yun Qinghan sitting there, although there is no expression on his face, there are many soldiers toasting him, and the way they look at him is also very cordial, and it is obvious that they have a very good relationship.
