After finishing his farm work, Shao Xun returned to Jinyong City.

The auxiliary soldiers have already started eating.

Shao Xun finished his meal hastily, then picked up some prepared meals and headed towards Central City.

After passing through a door, there is a courtyard in front, with flowers and trees planted, rockeries and flowing water, and more than ten well-decorated houses located in it.

Concubine Pei and the Queen were playing chess. When they saw Shao Xun coming in, they all looked up.

The princess has a smile on her face and a quiet and elegant temperament. She has even become more approachable recently. She is like a delicate dish, full of fragrance and full and juicy to the bite.

The princess also has a calm personality and is very tolerant.

Shao Xun likes women's tolerance of body and mind.

The deposed Queen Yang Xian's appearance is not as plump as the princess's, but she is also graceful and graceful, which is quite impressive.

But Shao Xun felt that this woman's thoughts were not simple - in fact, the princess's thoughts were not simple either, but she could be stupid sometimes.

He only met the queen twice.

The first time was when she captured Sima Yi in the palace. The queen ran directly to him without saying a word, calling for help softly. It can be seen that she had very good eyesight and did not panic at critical moments. She knew what was best for her.

The second time was the last time I saw you.

Before leaving, the queen actually opened the bead curtain, revealing her delicate and pretty face. Only she knew how much planning was involved.

In fact, Shao Xun felt that Yang Xianrong and he were of the same type, both with flexible bottom lines.

In order to achieve the goal, some unconventional means are sometimes used.

Shao Xun himself lacked a sense of awe because of excessive killing, and sometimes resorted to unscrupulous means.

As for why the Sheep Queen behaved like this, he didn't know very well.

After thinking about it, it probably has to do with the environment.

A woman who comes from a wealthy family is inherently thoughtful and extremely utilitarian. Yang Xianrong was deposed and imprisoned several times, and her life was in danger at any time. It is very possible that she will turn evil.

Considering what he said to Liu Yao in history, Shao Xun is basically certain.

Well, Queen Sheep is indeed quite beautiful, but this is not the main reason why Shao Xun pays attention to her.

There are thousands of people in the world, and there are many who are more beautiful than sheep, but they are not queens.

In short, Shao Xun is only interested in the queen, no matter whether the queen is named Yang Xianrong or not.

"See the princess, see the queen." Shao Xun put down the huge food box and bowed in salute.

"I am already a commoner, general, there is no need to be polite." Yang Xianrong said in a low voice, with a rather weak and sad look on his face.

Concubine Pei originally wanted to talk to Shao Xun about going out to welcome the emperor, but when she saw this, she said: "You can just put down the food box. If you have military affairs, go and deal with it yourself. Don't delay."

"I have something important to ask you." Shao Xun put down the food box and took out the food one by one.

"This is a steamed cake made by the chef invited from Prince Wu's Mansion." Shao Xun took out one and introduced the other.

King Wu went on the "Northern Expedition" and has not returned yet.

Shao Xun heard that his cook was good at making steamed cakes, so he invited him over.

The upper part of the cake made by this cook will be split into a cross shape, similar to the flowering steamed buns of later generations.

This skill was not simple at this time, because fermentation technology had not become popular and was only mastered by a very small number of people.

The former Taiwei only ate steamed cakes that had been steamed and split into a cross on top.

The same goes for scones, he won't eat them until the cross is cracked.

Later Zhao Shihu required that dried dates and walnut pulp be stuffed into the cake, steamed, and baked until a cross formed before eating.

It's a bit pretentious, but this kind of food is indeed very "technical".

"This is a rice dumpling made by the chef of Prince Langya." Shao Xun continued, "It was just fried and fished out."

Can, also called Luan Ji, is a glutinous rice product. Mix water and honey half and half, and mix the rice flour into a thin paste. Put it into a bamboo ladle with holes so that the thin paste leaks into the oil pan through the holes. After frying, take it out.

.

Delicious and crunchy, with a little sweetness, very delicious.

King Langya also embarked on the "Northern Expedition".

Unlike King Wu Sima Yan, King Langya managed to sneak back and Shao Xun had just heard about it.

As soon as Sima Rui came back, he moved into Wang Yan's home. Then Wang Yan came forward and asked for Mi Huang's permission. Sima Rui took his mother Xiahou Guangji out and went back to the fiefdom. It seemed that he was afraid. Luoyang Grand Stage

, not everyone can sing, and it is not easy to exit with dignity.

Chen Yougen once suggested killing Sima Rui in Luoyang.

After thinking about it, Shao Xun gave up. Mi Huang had to give up his face.

He is currently fighting fiercely with Wang Yan.

His eldest son Mi Zhi was praised by Wang Yan as "Shen Yi is decisive, has great economic skills, and can serve as a deputy to all parties."

There is no doubt that this is a very high evaluation.

Based on Wang Yan's words, Mi Zhi could be conquered by the princes, generals, and governors of various founding houses, and he could at least serve as a clerk, bookkeeper, and so on, and it was not impossible for him to work as a lieutenant.

This is the power of celebrity reviews. Mi Huang owes a big favor.

Hunting and killing Sima Rui would obviously offend Wang Yan and Mi Huang at the same time, so it was not worth it.

Moreover, he is not very enthusiastic about returning to Xuzhou to serve as an official now, and there does not seem to be much conflict of interest between the two parties.

"This is pancake..." - Boil water in a large pot, ladle the batter into a copper bowl with a small spoon, put the copper bowl into the boiling water in the large pot, stir the copper bowl to rotate rapidly, and let the batter

Stick evenly on the inner wall. Finally, take the pancake out of the bowl and pour it into boiling water to cook. Then take it out and put it in cold water again. Finally, take it out and pour the gravy on it before eating.

"horsemeat……"

"beef……"

Shao Xun placed the five items of food he had brought on the table one by one and started eating.

Concubine Pei smiled at him and began to take the food.

Most of the time, Shao Xun only sent his own soldiers from the teaching team to deliver food, and would do these things himself when he had free time.

Yang Xianrong was here today, and he handed over the food respectfully, which made Concubine Pei feel much happier.

Yang Xianrong thanked him softly, and then took the food.

"I still want to ask for advice on how to welcome the emperor?" Shao Xun knelt down opposite the two of them and asked with a frown: "There are many officials in Yecheng, and I really don't know who to ask for advice."

Of course there are people who can ask for advice, isn't it Wang Yan? But Shao Xun always feels that he should stay away from such a talkative person, the originator of the idiom "talking nonsense".

The princess comes from a wealthy family and is involved in such matters, so she is the best person to consult.

"You are wrong." Concubine Pei said: "Etiquette is not important, what is important is the welcome."

The sheep Xianrong remained calm and silently ate the food.

The war is in turmoil, and even the Zhong Ming Ding Food House can't eat much good food now.

These meats and cakes were beautifully made and very delicious. She had not enjoyed them for a long time.

Princess Donghai is so lucky to have such a loyal and brave general who serves diligently and loyally, so she doesn't have to worry about wherever she goes.

Unlike her, when she heard the sound of the soldiers changing defenses outside the palace at night, she would wake up with fright, unable to sleep anymore - without him, she would be worried that someone would come to "impose death".

After being deposed so many times, she was already on the verge of collapse.

At first I would still cry, but now I don’t cry anymore, because crying is useless, I will still die anyway.

"How to welcome him?" Shao Xun asked.

"Do you know Fupingjin?" Concubine Pei asked.

"Know."

"There is a pontoon bridge on Fupingjin, which was built under the supervision of Du Wuku. You may lead your army to Fupingjin to welcome the emperor," Concubine Pei said.

Shao Xun understood.

Could this Yellow River pontoon bridge built by Du Yu be the famous pontoon bridge connecting the three cities of Heyang in later generations?

I heard that Emperor Tang sent people to Hongzhou, Jiangxi Province to cut down large wooden ships, and then connected them with iron chains to connect Heyang's Nancheng, Beicheng, and Zhongli City (located on the sandbank in the middle of the river) into one, which is an important transportation infrastructure.

"You have done great service for the country, and then you can welcome the emperor to the capital, and you may become famous all over the world." Concubine Pei said again.

"Thank you, Princess, for your advice." Upon hearing this, Shao Xun immediately stood up and saluted.

He still held on to the old thoughts he had before time travel, and subconsciously felt that the emperor had suffered such a miserable misfortune and had lost all face, so he did not need to pay too much attention to it, so he only planned to welcome the emperor on the outskirts of Luoyang City.

But Concubine Pei's words made him think deeply.

You really should go a little further to appear more sincere.

Concubine Pei mentioned "fame", this is the key.

The greater your reputation, the more benefits you will receive, the more people will come to join you, and it will be easier to get promoted in the future.
