Ye Zhenzhen couldn't bear the fishy smell, Cui Weizhen tried every means to change the recipe, and went to Xiangguo Temple every now and then to ask for vegetarian food, and Ye Zhenzhen's appetite gradually improved.
Time passed and it entered May quickly.
The conservative party in the DPRK began to make moves again. Cui Weizhen was busy again. Various impeachments and stumbling blocks came one after another. Even with the secret support of Emperor Xuanwu and the help of King Wei, he still had to put in a lot of energy, which was inevitably revealed in his expression.
There are some clues.
Ye Zhenzhen obviously noticed something was wrong, touched Cui Weizhen's thin chin, and frowned: "Have you lost weight? Is it a matter of the imperial court?"
Cui Weizhen patted her hand reassuringly: "Nothing happened in court, I just have a bad appetite recently. You don't have to worry."
He really hadn't eaten much recently, and Ye Zhenzhen's eyebrows were filled with worry, and she began to think about how to adjust his diet.
Cui Weizhen smoothed the wrinkles between her eyebrows for her, and did not go further into the topic. Instead, he talked about a topic that made her happy: "The disciple who went to Shu to capture bamboo bears will come back soon. If there are no accidents, you can probably get two
There are two bamboo bears, one big and one small, they are said to be a mother and son."
"Both ends!"
Ye Zhenzhen stood up excitedly, her eyes sparkling: "You mean, I'm about to have two pandas? A mother bear and a baby bear?"
Cui Weizhen nodded with a smile and watched her spinning around like a happy child. At the same time, he had to be careful to prevent her from being too excited and bumping into the table and chairs next to her... Well, tomorrow she will have to instruct the maids to move the corners of the tables and chairs.
Wrap them up and put away fragile and sharp items.
Cui Weizhen's thoughts spread uncontrollably. When he came back to his senses, his wife was already lying on top of him, excitedly giving him a sweet kiss on each cheek.
He smiled softly, hugged her carefully, and whispered: "So happy?"
Ye Zhenzhen was like a well-behaved and cute little squirrel, nodding her head repeatedly, unable to conceal her excitement and pride in her tone: "You don't know, in my hometown, almost everyone wants to own a giant panda. Unfortunately, the giant panda is a national treasure, so only
You can watch from a distance but don’t play with it. Now I have two of them without any effort! Two! That’s double happiness!”
She was so happy that she narrowed her eyes. Her round, almond-shaped eyes were now only a crescent moon.
Cui Weizhen was infected by her, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker. He stroked her smooth hair and asked: "I heard that the servants to take care of the bamboo bear have not been found yet? Do you want my help? There are two people coming back this time.
A local mountain man is said to have experience in taming animals, and the bamboo bear was also found with their help. If a suitable servant has not yet been found, they can solve the urgent need."
This was an unexpected surprise.
Soon, Li Yue also brought back good news. He found two candidates who met the requirements in Goulan. He heard that Jingning's Mansion wanted to buy people, so they voluntarily sold themselves to join the manor. Because they were of lowly status, they saved a lot.
trouble.
There are four professionals in total. After some training, they will be almost ready for use. Ye Zhenzhen also spent time selecting support staff, and the panda care team is almost complete.
The next step is to wait patiently for the giant pandas to arrive in Beijing.
With things on my mind, time becomes extra long, and even the pregnancy reaction is not that obvious.
On this day, Cui Weizhen left the office early and said mysteriously: "Change into clothes and I will take you out."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little confused, but she was very happy to be able to go out for a walk, so she quickly went back to her room and changed into the clothes she was wearing. Without telling her son who had not yet finished school, she took Qiu Wu and Yupan and went out with Cui Weizhen.
Qiu Wu and Yupan were sitting outside the carriage and waiting. Cui Weizhen was not riding a horse, but was sitting inside the carriage with Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen, who had not been out for a long time, couldn't wait to lift the curtain and look outside. The long-lost noise and breath of life hit her face. She couldn't help but take a deep breath: "This is the taste of life."
Cui Weizhen: "..." What are these words?
However, he wisely did not question it, but stated the purpose of his trip: "I heard that Zhiweilou has a new dish called Dinghu Shangsu. Many people think it is good after eating it. You may have never tasted it, so I just brought it with you.
You go over and give it a try."
Judging from the name, it should be a vegetarian dish.
Although Ye Zhenzhen had a poor appetite because she was pregnant with the baby, her nature of being a glutton for food has not changed. When she heard about fresh food, she immediately became excited and even forgot her initial doubts.
Zhiweilou is located in Dongshi and occupies an important position in the minds of gourmets in the capital. Of course, its consumption level is also prohibitive for ordinary people.
Therefore, the people sitting in the lobby are all richly dressed diners, or the rich and powerful children in silks and satins, or businessmen in gold and silver. They are changing glasses at the wine table, talking loudly, and the lively scene is different from any other.
A restaurant makes no difference.
The arrival of Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen attracted a lot of attention, but Cui Weizhen put a white curtain on Ye Zhenzhen before getting off the car. Everyone only saw a plump woman and did not know what she looked like.
However, Cui Weizhen's face is still very recognizable in Beijing. After all, he has been in the whirlpool of public opinion recently. Everyone has been talking about him more or less recently. Now seeing the real person appear in front of them, they are more or less surprised.
.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Jing Ning would also come to Zhiweilou for dinner. The woman next to him must be Mrs. Ning Guo.
The discussions among the diners did not affect them. Cui Weizhen had already reserved a private room on the second floor, and it was also Ye Zhenzhen's favorite seat by the window.
As soon as he entered the wing, he took the initiative to open the window of the wing and let her sit next to him: "From here you can see the street below, and there are actors performing various plays opposite. You can spend some money to let the waiter go to the opposite side to do errands and order some plays."
Ye Zhenzhen looked out the window, it was indeed a good place, this kind of wing should be very popular, so she made a guess: "You have already made a decision?"
Cui Weizhen nodded: "I asked Mo Yan to make an appointment yesterday."
I have to say that Ye Zhenzhen is very satisfied with this arrangement.
When the waiter came up to announce the names of the dishes, Ye Zhenzhen picked a few dishes that suited her own taste and Cui Weizhen's taste. Of course, she did not miss the new dish Dinghu Shangsu. She was already looking forward to the taste of the new dish.
The waiter didn't know their identities and began to brag: "Madam, you have good taste. This Dinghu Shangsu dish was learned by the masters in our building and the masters of Xiangguo Temple. All the guests who have tasted it say it is good. Madam has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, just like in front of the Buddha."
Like the Goddess of Mercy, she must also like this dish."
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Qiu Wu and Yu Pan were also a little speechless. The waiter must have never thought that his wife could have a meal of the Xiangguo Temple vegetarian dishes that others rarely tasted every now and then, right?
If my husband hadn't been worried that his wife's vegetarian diet would be bad for her health, there would have been no problem getting meals from Xiangguo Temple every day.
So, is this unheard-of "Dinghu Shangsu" that is promoted by the reputation of Xiangguo Temple really reliable?
