Li Yaoqing's work has just begun, and the marriage is even under preparation period. Cheng Naixuan, who followed Guangmao to Liaodong for two months, finally came back.

Because Mo Xiang had sent him back to deliver a letter, Mo Xiang rushed through the post station for several days and almost lost half his life when he arrived in the capital. His thighs were scarred and he could not return. Therefore, Cheng Naixuan lost the person who had been following him since childhood, and naturally stayed in Liaodong very uncomfortable. Although the father and son of the Li family "thank you" for his righteousness, the capital finally found out the so-called surrender identity and sent him several clever servants, but he was not from a poor family and was most taboo about the so-called gift of servants. He usually did not let anyone follow him into the room. This time he returned to Beijing, he transferred the person to Wu Weizhong, the general of Shanhai Road.

So, after Fengchen arrived in the capital, he went straight to the cabinet to meet Zhang Juzheng with Guangmao, and then handed over the question book to ask for a meeting with the saint. When he returned home, Cheng Naixuan shouted as soon as he entered the door: "The sender should have sent the message. Are the hot water ready? Carry me in quickly, oh, I can't walk a step!"

The servants at home were carefully selected by Mr. Cheng. I don’t know that the young master has been lazy since he was a child. At this moment, two servants carrying sliders came up immediately. They carried the person up and directly carried them to the bathroom in the backyard. After putting the person into the bathtub, Mo Xiang came out and rolled up her sleeves to wash Cheng Naixuan himself. After changing two buckets of water to make people soak it comfortably, he served the young master to come out and wiped his hair and body. Seeing that Cheng Naixuan didn’t want to say a word, he went to bed and lay down. Mo Xiang didn’t have time to say that the young lady went out to do business, so he simply asked someone to prepare various porridge, dishes and snacks, which were placed in a bun.

When Cheng Naixuan woke up, he felt sore all over. Not to mention getting up, he felt it was difficult to move his little finger. But at this moment, his stomach was hungry. Even if he refused to turn over and get out of bed, he still had to move his body hard and sit up little by little. When he pulled his shoes down the ground with no fun, he found that the lights had been lit in the room and it was already completely dark outside, but his wife was still missing. He had been married to Xu Yao for many years and knew that his wife was not a person who liked to go out for a walk. Even if he was with Xiaobei, he would never return dark.

The more I thought about it, the more I became, the more strange he was, he stuffed two pieces of snacks casually, and immediately shouted: "Come here!"

"What are the instructions for the young master?"

Seeing that Mo Xiang was coming in, Cheng Naixuan immediately lost his only reserve and cursed with a smile: "Sneaky, come in quickly! I'll ask you, where is the young grandma?"

"Young Master, you just came back, and I didn't care about it. The young grandma and the grandma Wang next door were busy helping Mr. Li get married. Cough, you should remember that it was Mr. Li who was next to Ye County Zun back then!"

When he heard the first half of the conversation, Cheng Naixuan was still confused, but when he heard the second half, he understood everything at once, and immediately shouted in surprise and joy: "It was the Master Li who was the gentleman for Jin Bao Qiufeng, and the little fat man of the Ye family, and also gave me and Shuangmu guidance on making art and Shiwen? It turned out that it was him. When did he come to Beijing? Wait, he is several years older than Fulin and me, why did he get married again? He won't have such a miserable life, right?"

When Cheng Naixuan asked Mo Xiang what happened, his first reaction was to open his mouth, but then he laughed so hard that he could not help but laugh. While he was having a silly laugh, he could only hear a sound of talking outside the door, followed by Wang Fulin's familiar loud voice: "Old Cheng, I know you're back. Today I'll show you a few hands at home to reward you and our two wives. If you wake up, hurry up and come for dinner. It won't be time to go!"

Cheng Naixuan was very excited when he heard this. He was originally a delicious person. At this moment, he looked at the clear porridge and side dishes in the pub, and immediately lost his appetite. He quickly urged Mo Xiang to serve him to change his clothes and quickly put them neatly. Mo Xiang was still considerate and stopped him before he could leave.

"Young Master, if you want to go to Wang Xiaoguanren to have a free meal, then no one can say anything. But you think about the hard work on the road, and you will go to the cabinet to meet your boss as soon as you come back. After such a busy life, you must drink some stomach-nourishing things first? This porridge is a seafood soup base, with more than a dozen Chinese medicines added. I heard that you are coming back, and the young lady ordered the kitchen when she left today. At least you can drink a bowl of stomach first. If you go to the Wang family, you may not be able to eat it immediately."

As a last resort, Cheng Naixuan could only drink a bowl of porridge like water. When he hurried to the Wang family next door, he found the place with familiarity. Not only his wife was there, but his son and daughter were also brought. At this moment, six small plates of cold dishes were already on the round table, but neither hot dishes nor soup were served. Wang Fulin was missing, only Xiaobei accompanied Xu Yao. He was secretly glad that after hearing Mo Xiang's filling her stomach first, otherwise he would really be hungry now. He stepped forward and sat on the chair without hesitation. Then he said curiously: "Is it really Shuangki cooking today?"

"I said I would like to reward you for your hard work all the way, and I would like to thank us for help these days, so he had to cook in person. But he was more than him..." Xiaobei paused, and then said with a smile, "Mr. Li is also here."

Now it was Cheng Naixuan's turn to be curious: "Master Li, can he still cook?"

"As soon as my husband came back today, he heard that Guangdong had sent several baskets of vegetables, crossing the ocean to Guangdong, and then trying to plant vegetables, fruits and melons. After seeing this, he was so excited that he took two bottles of chili oil and rushed to the kitchen immediately. Lord Li was curious, so he followed." Xiaobei said this, and couldn't help but remember the scene when Wang Fulin asked Cheng Naixuan to find chili peppers. He was so happy that he laughed, "He claimed to show off his skills today, but look, there hasn't been a hot dish yet. I don't know if he would be chanted by Lord Li when he was busy in the kitchen, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

"It is not a gentleman to talk about others behind the scenes."

With this sentence, the door was pushed open again. Wang Fulin, who followed him in, exaggeratedly held a huge boxwood long plate with both hands. Of course, he just showed off when he entered the door and asked him to put this plate on it in one breath with seven or eight dishes from the kitchen. That was absolutely impossible. The plate must have fallen halfway through. Even after being busy in the kitchen for a while, he left a mess. The kitchen chef and other servants who helped were already in a state of great anxiety.

But at this moment, the dishes on the table looked quite like that, but most of the dishes were not recognized by everyone. Wang Fulin wiped his hands and waited for Master Li who came in to sit down before he began to introduce him happily.

"This plate is made of shredded potatoes. This is stewed beef with tomatoes and potatoes... Well, this is now, if it is founded, I dare not eat beef behind my back. As for tomatoes, I cannot keep them fresh, so there is only tomato sauce. This is a tomato paste. This seems to be ordinary, it is fried peanuts! The remaining three are home-cooked, spicy fried pheasant, fragrant dried pork shredded pork, and Mapo tofu. There is also a soup stewed in the pot and is delivered later. The mountain mushroom pheasant soup is just put into the noodles and eaten."

Even if you haven’t eaten the last three dishes and one soup, you can know what it is. After all, many people in the capital may not be ripe with peppers, but they still know. But what are potatoes? What are tomatoes? What are peanuts?

Xiaobei, who had tried peppers for the first time with Wang Fulin, was the most courageous. After a dry cough, she smiled and pressed Wang Fulin down, and then said, "He insisted on playing tricks, so I won't be dish free. Everyone eats it casually. If you don't have enough to turn back, let the kitchen barbecue eat it!"

After Xiaobei said this, Cheng Naixuan watched Li Yaoqing as if the hero banquet on the top scorer was on the street. The chopsticks seemed to be like a dragonfly, and he tasted every dish in a moment. He was afraid that he would not be able to eat anything if he was too late. He quickly tasted every bite. Of course, he was a little careful with all the dishes he had never eaten, but after eating, he couldn't help but staring at Wang Fulin with his cheeks.

"You just said that these are things that have just been passed by across the ocean, so who gave it this name?"

"Of course I gave it." Wang Fulin didn't want these imported products to go through a long process of name change, and took on the responsibility of the introducer and the name changer. He smiled and ate a piece of stewed and tasty beef, and then said thoughtfully, "Speaking of this, since there is tomato sauce, you can make borscht tomorrow."

Next, Wang Fulin ate peanuts, thought about peanut butter, Gong Bao chicken; eat potatoes, French fries, mashed potatoes, and large plates of chicken; eat corn, and think about corn baking, and the whole house full of gold and jade; even talk about pumpkin knife beans... Cheng Naixuan had seen Wang Fulin's perseverance in peanying him to ask for various seeds at sea boats, and also explained a few words to Xu Yao. As Li Yaoqing, who has been following Mr. Fang since childhood, has been paying attention to the hard work of the meal on the plate, he was really not polite. In the end, he and Wang Fulin handled the plates together. When the chicken soup noodles came, he burped but served half a bowl.

A meal further narrowed the distance of eight years. When the three big men went to the study room, each sitting in the Grand Master chair and talking, they all sat without looking, and they wanted to lie down on it lazily. However, Cheng Naixuan wanted to joke about Master Li who was married late, but unfortunately, the thick-skinned other party took him back with the fact that he had tried every means to break the engagement. Even Wang Fulin laughed and joked about the good reputation he created for himself. Cheng Naixuan waved his fists and shouted: "It's all the things that happened in the past few hundred years, why are you doing that old debt? This time I went to Liaodong, Li Chengliang gave me eighteen beauties!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a light knock on the door came from the outside, followed by Xu Yao's voice: "My husband, I ate too greasy at night. I specially ordered the kitchen to cook barley tea."

Seeing Cheng Naixuan's face as if he was a ghost, he suddenly bounced up from the Grand Master's chair, rushed to the front of the door, opened the door and went out. He could vaguely hear something explaining to Xu Yao quickly. Wang Fulin then smiled and said, "This guy is like this. He has this thief heart but not that thief courage! But Brother Li, can you really endure it for so many years that he has not been close to women?"

Li Yaoqing didn't expect that the topic suddenly turned from Cheng Naixuan to himself. After coughing several times, when Cheng Naixuan turned in, there was obviously no more ladies outside. He disagreed and said: "Anyway, I'm going back to Beijing this time, just an old servant, two servants, and other servants gave away the severance money when they were in Licheng. I'm not like you, each with rich family background and can't afford to support so many people. So don't do too extravagant this time. It's true that you have good intentions, but I don't want to entertain too many guests who don't have any relationship on weekdays."

"That's why I chose October 28th." Wang Fulin squeezed his eyes and then smiled meaningfully, "This day, Shen Ge's hometown will get married."

Cheng Naixuan was giving the tea to Wang Fulin and Li Yaoqing. He just sat down and took a sip of tea. Unexpectedly, when he heard this, he immediately sprayed a sip of water. He was so angry that he pointed at Wang Fulin: "You guy, you choked me if you see me drinking water? You can think of it. This kind of life is like a match for others when you get married!"

"What's wrong with the day of collision? There are only a few auspicious days every month, so of course it's easy to get along with others. What's more, Brother Li's marriage is a bit hasty."

After choking Cheng Naixuan with one sentence, Wang Fulin then expressed his reasons.

"Although Mr. Shen is ranked last in the cabinet, he was born in the Hanlin Academy and the top scholar. He has a good reputation. Everyone knows his relationship with the Prime Minister. If his family is so big, do you think others should come to ask for a wedding wine? In this way, even if someone has a future in the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department and has a lot of prospects, he will not leave him to join in the fun. At most, a gift is given. Such ulterior guests will not need to be entertained. We will naturally welcome our sincere relatives and friends. According to the invitations given by Brother Li and Yin's family before, Xiaobei and Mrs. Xu have sent more than a dozen households, and ten tables are at the top."

"I am worthy of being Brother Wang, I think so thoughtful." Master Li nodded in the past, with his face full of agreement.

"You still praise him!" Cheng Naixuan finally couldn't help it. He rolled up his sleeves and slapped the handrail angrily and said, "You will know from now on that guy is not polite when he is in charge of a man! Well, when I go to Liaodong this time, Guangmao insisted that everyone from top to bottom of Liaodong helped Tao Chengkuo to lie about military merits. Not only did he want to recover the rewards, but he also asked for heavy disposal of Liaodong civil and military officials. Li Chengliang was just dealing with Tao Chengkuo, there was no need to blame Liaodong civil and military officials. Even the governor and the governor were looking to the Li family. Li Chengliang knew about my relationship with you, and even showed me the handwritten letter from the Minister of War Fang Fengshi. I won't talk nonsense to you, Shuangmu, what does the Chief Auxiliary mean?"

Li Yaoqing also looked at Wang Fulin immediately, but saw the supervisory censor who was the most steadily standing in the court this year, rubbing the little mustache on his lips and said in a deep voice: "The Prime Minister's meaning can be reversed. Now that we are all three, we will discuss our own attitude and our voice according to what Lao Cheng saw and heard."

Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, Wang Fulin emphasized his tone and said, "It's not what others mean, but what we mean. What we hope the court will deal with the Liaodong dispute! At that time, I will convince Yuan Fu and follow the regulations we agreed on!"

Hearing this, not only Li Yaoqing was surprised, but Cheng Naixuan, who had been supporting each other in the capital for more than a year, was also in a state of great excitement.

This is what I say... I am so domineering! (To be continued.)
