Madam, let's steam buns together

"Oh, by the way, Hua Ruo, there is one more thing that my father can tell you. The Yue Kingdom has sent envoys to our court to discuss the return of the luthier. The person who came was Luo Situ. My father heard that he I have always been very interested in you, in order to avoid trouble, you have to behave yourself these few days."

Zhang Xieyi's remarks were not only to prepare Zhang Huaruo, but also to prevent troubles between the two countries.

The matter of the little luthier was already quite difficult. If Luo Situ was injured by Zhang Huaruo again when Luo Situ came to find Zhang Huaruo, the war disaster that could have been avoided would probably not be quelled.

Yes, Zhang Xieyi wasn't very worried that Zhang Huaruo would suffer. Instead, he was worried that Luo Situ would suffer a lot in front of Zhang Huaruo. But he never once suffered a disadvantage in front of Deng Tuzi.

Zhang Huaruo smiled: "Hua Ruo has always been very good, don't worry Daddy, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to find trouble, Hua Ruo won't cause trouble."

Zhang Xieyi coughed again: "Of course, my father just said that you should be merciful under normal circumstances. If it really comes to a critical moment, he dares to have any evil intentions towards you, even if he kills you. Everything is covered for you by the father, don't be afraid!"

"Hua Ruo has his own measure."

Walking around a corner, a familiar figure appeared in front of Zhang Huaruo, and soon disappeared, just passing by.

Zhang Huaruo was a little concerned about this figure, and Zhang Xieyi beside him obviously saw that person, so Zhang Huaruo directly asked Zhang Xieyi: "Daddy, why is he still in the mansion?"

This he refers to the figure who just walked by not far away. It stands to reason that He Lio, who should have moved out of the prime minister's mansion long ago, is that He Banxian.

A strange expression flashed across Zhang Xieyi's face. She was a little guilty, a little helpless, and a little embarrassed, but in summary, she didn't want Zhang Huaruo to know the real situation. Still living in the mansion for the time being."

It's about Zhang Xieyi, Zhang Huaruo has to care, but now he can only pretend not to care so that Zhang Xieyi can feel at ease.

Zhang Huaruo looked at the place where He Liao disappeared, with seriousness in his eyes.

Yang Dabao waited at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, and finally saw Zhang Huaruo's figure. Zhang Huaruo put a smile on his face when he saw him, and Zhang Xieyi couldn't help being jealous of her son-in-law.

Abducted, completely abducted.

After exchanging a few words with Zhang Xieyi, Yang Dabao led Zhang Huaruo and wolfberry back home. Zhang Xieyi looked at the way the three of them left, and looked more and more like a family of three.

"Ma'am, I just learned a dish from your cook. It is said to be your favorite dish on weekdays. If you feel homesick in the future, I will make it for you."

"Really? I learned it in such a short time, it's amazing."

"Hey, it's not a particularly difficult dish, the main thing is to write down the taste you like, and try to make exactly the same taste."

"How could it be the same? As long as you cook it, it must be different from theirs."

Yang Dabao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhang Huaruo was praising his unique dishes, and smiled happily.

Lycium barbarum silently lowered his head and played with his nails. Alas, he got used to it. He was used to the young master and uncle showing off their affection. Hmph, angry. Show affection in front of you!

Gou Qizi began to think about the suitable candidates around him in his mind, and sadly found that there seemed to be no little girl who liked him very much.

Although the maids in the mansion are very kind to him, Gou Qizi can feel that they love him like a younger brother, and it is not the kind of mutual love between uncle and young master at all.

Sudden fear, could it be that he has no girl interest at all, and will be single for the rest of his life?

Gouqizi was immersed in his own world, not knowing that all his inner thoughts were expressed on his face, Zhang Huaruo and Yang Dabao both saw it, they looked at each other and smiled, and didn't disturb Gouqizi's personal world.

Early the next morning, Yang Dabao went out to sell steamed stuffed buns as usual. When Sishi was approaching, a huge procession appeared on the street. Many of them were dressed in clothes that did not belong to the dynasty. Cross the long street and go in the direction of the palace.

Yang Dabao heard that the stall owners and passers-by were talking about it, and everyone didn't know who it was, and there was such a big scene.

You must know that this place is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and many high-ranking officials in the court try to keep a low profile when traveling. Except for the emperor or the royal clan, no one dares to force everyone to avoid him by beating gongs and drums, for fear that others will not know that he is coming.

At noon, there was finally definite news. Everyone was saying that the team that came this morning was the envoys from the neighboring country Yueguo. This also explained why the team was so arrogant this morning. The unfriendly aura of the moon country comers.

Then everyone began to speculate that the purpose of the envoy from the Kingdom of Yue came to our court, and it should be to ask for the prisoner in the case of the murder of the younger brother of the Queen of the Moon Kingdom, that is, the little luthier who was guarded by Prince Shu in Prince Shu's mansion.

The source of the rumors in the market is ominous. After word of mouth, the truth is mixed, and when it reaches Yang Dabao's ears, it is completely different from the facts.

The little emperor knew that the other party was not kind, so he politely prepared a reception banquet. After all, the dignity of a big country cannot be lost. When it comes to arranging the board and lodging for Luo Situ and his party in our court, Luo Situ bluntly said that he must live in In the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister of this dynasty personally entertained him and provided him with food and lodging.

The little emperor and Zhang Xieyi immediately understood each other's intentions, one was to test the bottom line of my concession, and the other was to get close to Zhang Huaruo.

Although the news that Zhang Huaruo had married into Yang Dabao's house was widely spread, not everyone knew it. It was normal for Luo Situ, who was in Yueguo, to not know that Zhang Huaruo was no longer living in the prime minister's residence.

Of course, the little emperor and Zhang Xieyi would not tell Luo Situ the actual situation, but "tactfully" rejected Luo Situ's request:

"no!"

"Absolutely not!"

Luo Situ's attitude was neither arrogant nor polite. He bowed pretentiously and said forcefully: "I will never go to other residences except the prime minister's mansion. If your country refuses even this small request If you agree, there is nothing to talk about if you want to come to this trip."

This showed that if the little emperor and the others disagreed with him living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would immediately take people back to Yue Kingdom and start a war directly.

When the two countries are at war, it is the people who suffer, and it is easy to make the situation turbulent. It is the time for the main fighters to control the power of the Yue Kingdom. If Luo Situ goes back like this, they will really start to attack us immediately. border.

I may not lose, but I will definitely lose my vitality. Although the little emperor is helpless, he can only agree to Luo Situ's request after exchanging glances with Zhang Xieyi.

The corner of Luo Situ's mouth curled into a satisfied smile, but he didn't know that the little emperor had already made a secret decision in his heart. During his lifetime, he must train an invincible army, and when the time is right, he will directly take down the Moon Kingdom , will never allow such a restless small country to exist on its own border.

In the afternoon, I had a reception banquet for the envoys in the palace, and in the evening, the whole group lived in the prime minister's mansion in a mighty manner.

When Luo Situ saw that the prime minister's mansion was not as magnificent as he had imagined, he couldn't help showing disappointment and a little disgusted expression: "Prime Minister Zhang is the number one official in the Li Dynasty. The place is so shabby, it’s not as good as a little commoner like me.”

Zhang Xieyi replied with a smile on her face: "All the officials in my court are clean and honest, and of course the mansions they live in match their salaries. My mansion is considered the best among them. If you are an envoy like you If you don’t even like it, then it’s better to sleep directly on the territory of our dynasty, with the ground as your bed and the sky as your cover, it’s much more luxurious than this small mansion of mine.”

What Zhang Xieyi said sounded good, but she was actually driving Luo Situ to sleep on the main road outside, insinuating that Luo Situ and all the officials of the Yue Kingdom were corrupt officials, so they had so much money to build a small house that was more luxurious than the prime minister's mansion. Xiaoshu Changfu.

Luo Situ heard the meaning of Zhang Xieyi's words, restrained himself a little, and led the people to settle down in the prime minister's mansion.

It was late at this time, and it was a good time to have a tryst with a beautiful woman.

Luo Situ wanted to inquire about Zhang Huaruo's residence, but Zhang Xieyi cleverly avoided talking about it. Luo Situ thought that he could ask the servants of the prime minister's mansion in the future, and he didn't have to ask the old fox, so he didn't ask again. Enthusiastically asked Zhang Xieyi to deal with her own affairs quickly and not to be with him.

How could Zhang Xieyi not know what was going on in Luo Situ's mind, so she deliberately stayed on and refused to leave, intending to entertain the envoys of the Moon Kingdom well and let Luo Situ

Situ enjoys the feeling of being at home.

Until Luo Situ couldn't help yawning, drowsy and still being annoyed by Zhang Xieyi all the time, finally turned cold and drove Zhang Xieyi away. Zhang Xieyi saw that he didn't have the strength to jump around in the middle of the night, Then Shi Shiran got up and left.

As soon as Zhang Xieyi left, a man in Luo Situ's entourage rushed into Luo Situ's house: "Cousin."

When Luo Situ saw his cousin coming, the expression on his face didn't change for the better. He didn't want to say any more nonsense, but just wanted to rest and sleep right away, so he replied perfunctorily, "Checheng, what's wrong?"

"I want to go out alone tomorrow, so I came here to tell my cousin in advance, lest my cousin can't find me and worry about me."

Luo Situ was restless, who would worry about you as an outsider, so he tried his best not to show his thoughts on the surface: "Oh, yes, I know, brother, you can go out and play boldly."

He didn't bother to ask Ling Checheng where he was going tomorrow and what he was going to do.

Only then did Ling Checheng retreat with peace of mind, and Luo Situ didn't ask him what he was going to do, so he didn't say anything, seeing his cousin was very tired, so he didn't bother him much, and left quickly.

Ling Checheng went out early in the morning, and Zhang Xieyi had already made arrangements. As soon as Ling Checheng left the Prime Minister's Mansion, someone followed him immediately, tracking and recording where he went, who he met, what he did, and even I even wrote down what I said by reading my lips.

But this time it was Zhang Xieyi who made a big fuss. Although Ling Checheng came to Chang'an City with Luo Situ, he just stopped by for a visit. He didn't go out this time for any serious business, but he just came out to play.

Of course, it wasn't that nothing was gained. The people following Ling Checheng soon noticed that Ling Checheng was actually inquiring about the location of Dabao's steamed stuffed bun stall, and immediately asked one of the team members to go back and report to Zhang Xieyi.

It was about the son-in-law of the prime minister's mansion, that is, about their favorite young master, of course it was the top priority of all things.

Ling Checheng knew the location of Yang Dabao's steamed stuffed bun stall from passers-by, and quickly found it. He seemed to be much softer than his cousin, not domineering at all, and polite when asking for directions.

Now seeing a small queue in front of Yang Dabao's booth, he didn't go up directly, but obediently waited behind the queue until it was his turn.

While buying buns, Ling Checheng talked to Yang Dabao: "Are you the Yang Dabao who married Zhang Huaruo?"

Since Yang Dabao and Zhang Huaruo got married, almost every day there were strangers who came here to ask Yang Dabao such a question, so Yang Dabao answered naturally: "Yes!"

"I really envy you. I heard them say that Zhang Huaruo is the number one beauty in my dynasty. My cousin has always wanted to see him, but he has never had the chance. I don't know if you mind if I take Zhang Huaruo to meet my cousin. Satisfy his curiosity."

Yang Dabao paused the hand holding the oiled paper bun, raised his head and glanced at Ling Checheng, and replied decisively: "Never mind, I really mind!"

Although he has always been said to be honest and honest, being honest and honest does not mean he is stupid. There is no reason to let someone take his wife to see other people. The key point is that other people have schemes against Zhang Huaruo, and Yang Dabao will never agree.

"Oh, I also guessed that you answered this way." Ling Checheng was a little disappointed.

Yang Dabao secretly said in his heart, there is no need to guess whether this kind of thing is good or not, as long as you are not a fool, you will know how excessive this request is.

Ling Checheng also wanted to persuade Yang Dabao: "We are just curious about what Zhang Huaruo looks like, and we won't have any unreasonable thoughts about him. Isn't that okay?"

"No."

Being rejected by Yang Dabao again, Ling Checheng had no choice but to leave, taking a bite while walking with the warm buns in his hands.

Hey, it's quite delicious. It is said that Yang Dabao captured Zhang Huaruo's heart by virtue of his skill in making steamed buns. He thought this kind of rumor was ridiculous at first, but now that he tried Yang Dabao's steamed stuffed buns himself, he suddenly felt that the rumor was very interesting. It may be true.

If Zhang Huaruo is really as beautiful as everyone says, such a person will be less concerned about other people's appearance, because no matter how good-looking men and women in the world are, they will never be more beautiful than him.

Such a person was captured by Yang Dabao's cooking skills, and then married Yang Dabao willingly. Thinking about it, there is such a possibility.

Ling Checheng didn't go to other places, and went straight back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the buns. Those who followed him were relieved to see that he had done nothing wrong.

In the prime minister's mansion, Luo Situ, who was awake, looked everywhere for Zhang Huaruo's residence, and finally came across a quiet courtyard that seemed to be Zhang Huaruo's residence, but there was not even a single person inside, let alone Zhang Huaruo.

Luo Situ searched for such a long time and only got such a result. He was so angry that he wanted to rush directly to Zhang Xieyi and ask him where he hid Zhang Huaruo overnight. Walking towards him with a few buns.

Thinking of his aunt's entrustment to him before letting him take Ling Checheng out, Luo Situ suppressed the irritability in his heart, and cared about his cousin first: "Checheng, why are you eating buns with you? Things are not clean, you should eat less of this kind of thing."

Ling Checheng shook his head with a smile and said, "I saw how it was made with my own eyes. It's quite clean. Cousin, would you like to have one? This quicksand bag is delicious. I've already eaten two, and the rest is specially reserved for you. Give it to your cousin."

Luo Situ waved his hand in disgust, rejecting the steamed buns offered by Ling Checheng: "Keep it for yourself, you didn't cause any trouble outside, did you?"

Ling Checheng shook his head, very obediently: "No, don't worry, cousin, I won't cause trouble for my cousin."

Luo Situ nodded, and stopped asking other questions about Lingchecheng. He was going to find another servant in the prime minister's mansion to ask Zhang Huaruo's residence. Zhang Huaruo's residence.

It's just a servant, and if you beat him to death, you will kill him. They even dared to cover up a prisoner who killed a relative of the Yue Kingdom's royal family.

Ruthlessness flashed across Luo Situ's impatient eyes, obviously he had made up his mind.

Ling Checheng looked at Luo Situ and said suddenly: "Cousin, I asked Yang Dabao for you, but he refused to show you his wife."

What about Yang Dabao, what about his wife, those inexplicable words made Luo Situ stop and look back at Ling Checheng, frowning fiercely: "What are you talking about?"

While eating the last quicksand bag, Ling Checheng said lightly: "Cousin, don't you always want to see Zhang Huaruo? , So cousin, forget it, it's really not good to meet someone who has a husband."

Luo Situ slowly opened his eyes wide, and raised his voice in shock: "What! Zhang Huaruo... is he married?"

Ling Checheng raised his head and looked at Luo Situ in confusion: "Cousin, why are you so shocked? Zhang Huaruo married a small steamed bun vendor more than a month ago. Many people know about this. The steamed stuffed buns from Yang Dabao’s house are really delicious, cousin, you don’t like quicksand buns, you can try this steamed bun stuffed with mushrooms and pork, it smells delicious.”

Luo Situ slapped off the steamed bun that Ling Checheng handed over. The steamed bun with white and tender skin rolled on the ground a few times, and finally got a lot of dust.

Ling Checheng looked at the mushroom and pork buns that were no longer edible, with a look of pity in his eyes. The next second, Luo Situ grabbed the skirt and lifted him up. Luo Situ stared at Ling Checheng viciously, his voice still full of dare not believe.

"Zhang Huaruo...Zhang Huaruo married a steamed bun seller? The one we saw when we entered Chang'an City, pushing a small cart on the side of the road to sell steamed stuffed buns?"

Ling Checheng nodded, and carefully added a few words: "I just went to meet Yang Dabao with my own eyes. He looks very ordinary, but he is not ugly. He belongs to the kind of man who looks more and more pleasing to the eye. It doesn't matter. The buns are really delicious."

"Don't bring me any more buns! I don't want to hear that word now!"

Luo Situ couldn't accept what he heard. He had a portrait of Zhang Huaruo in his hand. He got it by chance. He was so fascinated by just one glance. At that time, the person who gave him this painting still told him Said that this painting did not draw one-tenth of Zhang Huaruo's demeanor and aura, and the person himself was many times better than the portrait, which caused him to miss it all the time.

But now he told him that Zhang Huaruo, who he had missed for many years and thought he would never be able to catch up with in his life, had already married an ordinary man, who was just not handsome, but was still powerless and powerless. A man who can't even afford to open a serious shop and can only set up a small stall in the street?

No, he can't accept it at all!

Luo Situ grabbed Ling Checheng's shoulder with one hand, and dragged him straight out of the prime minister's mansion. Ling Checheng's shoulder hurt from being dragged by him, and he couldn't help complaining, "Cousin, what are you doing!"

Luo Situ looked back at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Take me to that steamed stuffed bun stand, now, immediately, immediately!"
