Chapter 15: Mind

After a while, the two corner girls walked into the waterside pavilion carrying dishes at a reasonable price, and placed the exquisite porcelain plates of different shapes one by one on a round table.

The round table has a very different shape. It is actually made of two parts, and the middle part can be rotated.

"So fast?" Xiao Cheng looked at Jiang Yingxue who had changed into another set of clothes and appeared in front of him in shock, and asked with wide eyes. "You actually have to change into a new set of clothes and put on makeup?"

Jiang Yingxue smiled and poured a glass of wine for Xiao Cheng, and said: "As long as Erlang comes to Tianxiang Pavilion, I will have the kitchen prepare the corresponding ingredients, so the speed will naturally be fast. I just set off the fireworks, and there is some oil smoke on my body.

I'm afraid it's smearing Erlang, so I need to straighten it out."

"It happens every time, but I don't have much time to eat here. Isn't it a waste?" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "If I had known this, if you told me, I would naturally stay to eat, and this dish is also good.

It’s really too much, and you and I can’t finish it.”

"Whether Erlang is here to eat or not, I have to prepare it here." Jiang Yingxue said lightly: "Besides, it won't be wasted. If Erlang doesn't eat it, the chef will send it outside or to the incense making yard."

After taking a dish for Jiang Yingxue and putting it on the small plate in front of him, Xiao Cheng said seriously: "I'm interested."

Jiang Yingxue filled the small plate with food in front of Xiao Cheng with a smile: "Erlang, give it a try. When I have nothing to do, I often practice my skills. I know that Erlang is naughty. Even the famous chef in Fanlou often listens to Erlang."

You tell them that this is bad and that is bad."

Xiao Cheng laughed, took a bite of the dishes on the plate, and then, with Jiang Yingxue full of expectation, said with certainty: "The master chef of Fan Lou is indeed not as good as you. If you apply for the job at Fan Lou, their chef

, you have to pack up your bed immediately.”

"Erlang made fun of me." Jiang Yingxue was satisfied, but also elated.

"But, no restaurant can afford to treat you now, so you can only cook for me!" Xiao Cheng laughed and picked up the wine glass: "Drink one?"

"I'm Keijiro!"

There was a crisp sound of ding, and the two small wine cups touched each other. After drinking a glass of wine, Jiang Yingxue was instantly dizzy and her eyes were blurred. A pair of red eyes glanced at Xiao Cheng, stood up and picked up the wine cup again,

The train of the skirt danced with the breeze, and the faint fragrance blew towards her face. It was so charming that Xiao Cheng's eyes went straight.

"This wine is really good!" Xiao Cheng coughed dryly and looked down at the filled wine glass. He didn't dare to look at the beauty opposite him. He was not Liu Xiahui, but he couldn't sit still while pregnant.

With a smile, Jiang Yingxue said: "Erlang, you are really a noble person who forgets things. This wine is still brewed according to the method you said. You can't buy it outside. Of course, your own wine is good. What Qiongbo

, jade syrup, fairy mash, flowing clouds, and refreshing breeze, compared with our own wine, it’s not even worthy of carrying shoes.”

The Qiongbo in Jiang Yingxue's mouth was brewed by Banlou, the jade paste was brewed by Manwang's family, the immortal mash was brewed by Baxianlou, and Liuxia Qingfeng was brewed by Gaoyangdian. These are all seven famous restaurants in Bianjing City.

One of the twelve main restaurants, with a formal wine-making license. The wine they brew is not only sold in their own restaurant, but also wholesaled by small shops outside. The wine sold every year cannot be measured.

"Their wine is also good." Xiao Cheng smiled conceitedly.

"It's still not as good as ours." Jiang Yingxue said: "Erlang, how about we also get a brewing license? This is also a huge amount of income every year!"

A brewing license means a lot of wealth, which is naturally not easy to obtain. However, with the current power of the Xiao family and the influence of Tianxiang Pavilion itself, it is not difficult to get one.

"No!" Xiao Cheng shook his head, "One Tianxiang Pavilion stall is already big enough, and the annual income is enough for us to do many things. The brewing industry is too eye-catching, and it is difficult to hide anything.

Come on, now that our Xiao family is standing on the cusp of the storm again, I really don’t have the heart to make these. I made this wine mainly for you to use in Tianxiang Pavilion to make incense. The remaining little bit, we can drink it ourselves.

alright."

Jiang Yingxue obeyed Xiao Cheng's advice and felt a little regretful when she heard this: "It's just a pity that such a good wine is so good."

"Wait for the opportunity!" Xiao Cheng said: "In a few years, when your second son and I have established a foothold in the court and gained strength, I won't be afraid of anyone coming to find fault. By that time, I won't be able to do it anymore.

late."

"It won't take more than a few years!" Jiang Yingxue said happily.

"It's early!" Xiao Cheng said: "My age is here. In the imperial court, people are ranked by seniority. If I don't have seniority, it's useless to say anything."

"Then make more contributions. Gan Luo Twelve will be your prime minister. Erlang, in a few years, you can do whatever you want to get a prime minister!" Jiang Yingxue was extremely confident in the person she loved.

Xiao Cheng laughed and took a sip of wine: "The twelve prime ministers of Gan Luo are just the same. Unlike the prime ministers of today's dynasty, all of them hold real power and even your majesty must respect them.

In this dynasty, it is unthinkable to be a prime minister in your twenties. If you are too young, what place will you have in the current official family? If you really want to be a prime minister for decades, will the successor emperor still be able to do things? Really?

It is a no-brainer if you are under forty when you become a minister."

"Wouldn't it take decades of work?" Jiang Yingxue said disappointedly: "That's not what the dramas and storybooks say."

"So that's a drama! It's good if everyone is happy to see it." Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "I will work harder and try to be able to supervise the government as soon as possible and serve as county magistrate and prefectural magistrate for several times.

Just go to my territory and make incense if you want, and sell wine if you want. But I am not Sima Xiangru, and I will definitely not allow you to be Zhuo Wenjun or Lu selling wine."

"Sima Xiangru is just one step away from being a heartless man. How could Erlang be like him?" Jiang Yingxue said softly.

Xiao Cheng nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely not write you a letter worth 1,234,56,78,90 million."

"Even if I write it, I won't complain about Erlang, nor will I write any poems about him." Jiang Yingxue took a sip of wine and said softly: "If Erlang doesn't have me in his heart by then, I will leave quietly.

.As long as she has this relationship with Erlang, Yingxue will be satisfied in her life. Erlang, don’t worry, I will never let you, Erlang, feel troubled for me."

Will it come when you call it, or go when you wave it away?

Jiang Yingxue said it easily and seemed to take it for granted, but Xiao Cheng didn't think so in his heart.

If you really do this, wouldn’t you be worthy enough to carry Sima Xiangru’s shoes? At least after reading Yulang’s poem, he repented, changed his mind, and fell in love with Zhuo Wenjun!

Reaching out and grabbing Jiang Yingxue's hands, Xiao Cheng said firmly: "I told you to rest assured that I will find a way to resolve our matter."

"Yingxue never asked to be able to enter through the Xiao family gate." Jiang Yingxue said softly: "Erlang has me in his heart, this life is enough."

To be able to enter through the main gate of the Xiao family, she must be the wife of the Ming matchmaker. On the wedding day, the Xiao family will open the middle door to welcome in. If it is a concubine, she will only enter through the side door in a small sedan chair.

There is no special fate, and even the family tree cannot be entered. Not to mention the outer chamber, which is pure and does not even have a name.

With Jiang Yingxue's current status and financial resources, how could she say such a thing if she didn't love Xiao Cheng so much.

Xiao Cheng only dared to say that he would find a way to solve it. In fact, he also knew that there were huge obstacles here.

He really dared to openly tell me that he wanted to marry Jiang Yingxue, but he was afraid that Xiao Yu would fall out with him on the spot.

Different from those families who are greedy for Jiang Yingxue's money, Xiao Yu is currently striving hard to become a real scholar-bureaucrat of aristocratic families, and Xiao Cheng is his hope. Marrying a prominent businessman's daughter is afraid that the Xiao family's reputation will soon be ruined.

If they were to fall to the ground, even their current in-laws, Baoguo Gong's Gao family and Xinyang Han family would look down on them.

This is the current situation, and it is not something Xiao Cheng can violate.

Unless he dares to break away from home.

But if he really dared to do this, not only the scholar-bureaucrat class could not tolerate him, but even the general public could not forgive him.

Even spittle can drown him.

In the Song Dynasty, the country was founded and governed based on filial piety. Parents would not be punished even if they beat their children to death. If someone was accused of being rebellious and unfilial by his parents, in the worst case, his head would be lost, and in the worst case, he would be exiled.

of.

By that time, even if Xiao Cheng wanted to be an official or govern the country and bring peace to the world, staying alive would be a problem.

Jiang Yingxue also knew the key points and problems here, and knew that Xiao Cheng had the world in mind, so she told Xiao Cheng this, not wanting Xiao Cheng to worry about herself.

The sun moved east and west, but Jiang Yingxue was drunk.

Today she was happy, but she drank a few too many drinks. Xiao Cheng had never given her such a clear guarantee for the future before, but today, he made it clear. Over the past few years, Jiang Yingxue has

It is clear that Xiao Cheng is the kind of person who never makes promises easily, but once he says something, he must follow through on his words and be resolute in his actions.

The anxiety in her heart was gone, and she was naturally overjoyed. As for her status, she was really too lazy to think about it. Since there were such big obstacles, why should she make things difficult for her sweetheart?

Jiang Yingxue, who had been independently supporting the family for a long time since almost losing her family, has seen everything in this world thoroughly.

He helped Jiang Yingxue into the inner room and put her on the bed, and put a thin blanket on her body. Then he called Jiang Yingxue's two little girls to come in and serve her. Xiao Cheng then left Tianxiang Pavilion.

Although the sun has moved westward, it is still very hot outside.

"Erlang, when you were in there just now, Brother Hammer came over and said that Sun Guaizi had arrived at Tiangong and was kneeling there. He was begging to see you, Erlang! Are you going over now?"

"how long it has been?"

"It's almost an hour." Li Xin glanced at Xiao Cheng secretly, "I didn't dare to go in and disturb Erlang, so Brother Hammer went back first."
