The dishes at the family banquet of Zhenguo Gongfu are basically the same as usual, except that the large basins in the past have been replaced by small plates, which looks a little more refined. But it is limited to appearance, and the essence has not changed. The protagonist

Still a stew.

As soon as winter arrives in Jiapingguan City, stews become the mainstay of three meals a day. Unless you are injured or injured, you will not see other dishes. The exquisite dishes made by the royal family and nobles in Xijing are so beautiful.

Compared with the mouth-watering dishes, it is really not worth mentioning. Even the servants of the mansion usually eat much better food than them.

But there is no way around it. Except for one or two border gates located in wealthy areas, the remaining border towns, especially those in the north and southwest, have a very difficult life for the defenders.

Those delicious and delicious food should be saved for the Chinese New Year for everyone to enjoy together. It is precisely for this reason that from marshal to general, every meal of the Shen Jiajun is basically the same as that of ordinary soldiers. At most, there is more staple food.

There are a few more pieces of meat in the stew, but that's it.

"Master is quite honest, Mei Zhu, Miss Mei Lin just said that, but she actually got us several jars of good wine." Jin Jing took a wine jar, opened the seal on it, and went over to smell it.

After smelling it, he exclaimed, "Yes, yes, this wine is indeed good. Unfortunately, you guys don't have the taste, so you can only watch us enjoy it."

"Commander, you have forgotten that my eldest brother and my sister never drink. Even if they do drink, they will have a small drink when they are the only two. How are you like you? They just hold the jar and take big sips all day long.

It's not elegant at all." Shen Jiu deserves to have the word "wine" in his name. When he smelled the aroma of the wine, he came over and took a deep breath, "It really smells good. Brother, sister, I can have some."

A small cup?”

"What are you doing!" Before Shen Haolin and Shen Cha could speak, Xue Ruitian got the better of them. He reached out and patted Shen Jiu on the head and said, "You are a little brat, you are not an adult yet, don't worry about drinking.

, be careful of becoming an alcoholic in the future!" He looked at Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu, who were also greedy, "The same goes for you two. Before you are twenty years old, stay away from the drinking jar. Do you understand? If I catch you behind my back,

If you drink secretly while I'm here, I'll kick you two back to Xijing, and you'll never come back again in this life, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, cousin, we're not very interested in this stuff. It doesn't make any difference whether we drink it or not." Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu swallowed at the same time, saying things that went against their will while forcing themselves to move their eyes back to themselves.

On the small table in front of him, Song Qiyun picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of mushroom from the bowl, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and then said after swallowing, "Don't worry, cousin, we are both going to take some mushrooms with us this afternoon and evening."

Team members will definitely not miss your wine. Also, if you receive any news, please inform us in time, so as not to keep us thinking about it."

"Don't worry, there won't be any definite news today. If there's any new change, it's that that bastard has gone back." When he mentioned Song Jue, Xue Ruitian was itching with hatred, and he kept doing this kind of thing.

When something happens, they are all far away from the border, and they are all worried. "I wrote a letter to the Queen Mother, so that she doesn't have to worry too much. You two can write one when you have time and send it back together. Although it won't do anything.

It has a substantive effect and at least makes her heart happy."

"Yes, cousin, we understand." Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu nodded, acting like good babies, "The Queen likes you. If you write to her more and make her happy, she won't pay too much attention. He's the eldest brother. But...as long as the eldest brother stays and doesn't run around, especially if he doesn't run out of the city, no one will care about him."

"Yes, that's what it is." Xia Jiu nodded, "He knows how to cause trouble for others all day long. If others are unhappy, he will be happy."

"Isn't this his usual style? He has always been this virtuous since he was a child! I thought he would be more restrained when he became the emperor, but I didn't expect that restraint was his strategy. Seeing that we all relaxed So he brought us a big one. It’s not just that he ran away, but he was not stupid if he had to drag Bai Meng with him. He knew that at this time, without Bai Meng, he would never be able to leave the city. "

"Cousin, you said..." Xia Jiu blinked and lowered his voice and asked, "Do Xiaobaizi and Big Brother have... ah, some kind of relationship?"

"Don't be ridiculous, how is it possible!" Xue Ruitian waved his hand, raised his head and looked at Shen Cha, who was worried about the two bowls of clear noodles with no oil in front of him, and asked, "That guy Bai Meng, I am I don’t know, but your brother... must have his heart set on something, that’s for sure."

"Oh? Who is it?" Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu looked at each other and rushed in front of Xue Ruitian, "Although the queen mother doesn't interfere much in his marriage, she also hopes that he can find someone he truly likes as soon as possible and spend a lifetime together. Since my brother has his heart set on someone, he will directly issue an order to marry that person into the palace. He is the emperor, is there anyone in this world who refuses to marry the emperor?"

"What's wrong with the emperor? Do you think it's really a good job? If it's really that good, you, and you..." Xue Ruitian pointed at Song Qiyun, and then at Xia Jiu, "You two tried so hard to run out of Xijing again. Why? Your brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles are all like great immortals. They are like dragons but never come to an end. Why are they not seen in the capital all year round? Song Jue spends all day acting like a monster and tormenting ministers all day long. And why? You are the only ones in the world who know that the palace is a prison?” Can’t you change your style?”

"Just two days, after the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, there will be delicious food!" Song Qiyun poked him, "Continue to say that my brother's heart belongs to someone. Do you know who the other person is?"

"I know I won't tell you!" Xue Ruitian glanced at Shen Cha, who was still looking at the noodles, "Tell you, what are you going to do? Go stir up trouble?"

"Let's talk together and see if he also has this intention for my brother."

"It's beyond our reach. You are at the border now. Who can you talk to?" Xue Ruitian sighed, "Don't dwell on this, go eat!"

Watching Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu leave, Xue Ruitian turned around, leaned on the table, and asked, "Xiaocha, have you been in contact with His Majesty too frequently recently? Otherwise, how do you know what he likes recently? ."

Shen Haolin glanced at Xue Ruitian and secretly said hello to him in his heart. This question was exactly what he wanted to ask.

"Brother Xiao Tian, ​​is your brain not working well? Haven't you asked me this once before? The correspondence with His Majesty is not very frequent, almost once every half month. Sometimes His Majesty will send a letter with news about Xijing, The content is not long, just a few words of greetings and a chat about the current situation."

"Fortunately, otherwise, if he made such a fuss, we would really be blind."

Xue Rui didn't believe that Song Jue just wanted to chat. He was very sure that this guy had some hidden agenda for Shen Cha. He was probably boiling a frog in warm water, trying to influence her and make her inseparable. After driving him, I had to choose him in the end. Unfortunately, this trick may work on others, but it probably has no effect on Shen Cha. However, this potential love rival is scary enough. I watched it for more than ten times without paying attention. His baby would be snatched away. He had to think of a way to avoid this happening.

"Haolin, Haolin!" Xue Ruitian patted Shen Haolin's arm, waved to him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think...that boy Song Jue, did he treat Xiaocha..."

"You feel it too?" Shen Haolin sneered, "He is just daydreaming, Cha'er's future is up to her."

"I know, but we still have to be on guard against him. He has refused to get married these years, and most likely he is eyeing our little tea."

"Don't worry, with us watching and Xiaojiu, he won't succeed."

"What are you two muttering about? You've been working on it for a long time, let's eat quickly!"

Shen Cha asked Mei Zhu to bring an empty bowl, poured out half of the soup from the two noodle bowls, then snatched Xue Ruitian's bowl of stew that he disliked, and picked out the stewed vegetables that looked softer. , mushrooms, and a few pieces of tofu were put into Shen Haolin's noodle bowl, stirred a little, and placed them in front of him.

"The military advisor is right. The master chef is really honest. He told him to make it a little lighter. Unexpectedly, it was really too light. He just cooked a bowl of white noodles and served it."

"Let's have one. We had breakfast a little late, so we're not too hungry yet." Shen Haolin handed the untouched bowl of noodles to Shen Jiu, "Xiaojiu is growing stronger now, so he should eat more." ."

"Big brother still loves me. No matter how much I eat every day, I still feel like I'm not full." Shen Jiu took the noodle bowl, ran back to his seat, and said to Song Qiyun next to him, "Brother Qiyun, do you want some?" "

"Okay!" Song Qiyun politely took a large piece of chopsticks from the noodle bowl handed over by Chen Jiu, put it in his own bowl, mixed it, looked left and right, and asked with some confusion, " Where did Hongye and Sister Miaomiao go? Did they stop eating? "

"Over there!" Shen Jiu pointed to the northeast corner of the flower hall, "They disliked us and were not willing to sit with us, so they ran over there."

"It's not that they dislike us, they dislike that we can't drink together." Song Qiyun curled his lips, "When they drink, they are more manly than men. Let alone us, even my cousin can't drink them."

"They can drink this time." Shen Jiu yawned and said sleepily, "His Majesty has caused such a big trouble for us, and the security at all borders must be raised to the highest level. So, our The annual meeting has become extremely busy.”
