Oh, not only kelp, but also if there are other seafood, you can ask Uncle Mu to see if he has any, and if so, you can buy some back. Even if you don't have it, you can ask Uncle Mu to ask those who run sea ships to bring some.
...
Lao Zhu, Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao rarely sat together to eat, and the old eunuch who followed Lao Zhu stood aside to wait on them.
Naturally, the royal family's meals will not be as embarrassing as those of the Han family. There are twelve dishes placed in front of a few people, including roast goose, fire-flavored sheep's head and hoof, goose meat bazi (dried meat), salted black bean and mustard lamb tripe plate, Garlic vinegar white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, Yuanzhi lamb bones, steamed fresh fish, five-flavor steamed gluten, mutton crystal dumplings, etc.
After all, the food is simple. According to the rules, Lao Zhu's dinner must have twenty dishes.
After dinner, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao chatted for a while, and somehow they ended up talking about Han Du.
"What is Han Du doing recently?"
When his father mentioned Han Du, Zhu Biao's expression suddenly became very strange.
When Lao Zhu saw it, he thought to himself, this lazy boy won't cause any trouble recently.
He raised his eyes and saw the old eunuch beside him. Seeing that he also had a constipated expression, he immediately asked: "You old guy knows this too? Then tell me what that kid did."
This was an unreasonable disaster. The old eunuch cursed himself in his heart for not being able to hold back and exposing his whereabouts in front of the emperor. But I can't blame myself for not being able to bear it. What Han Du did was really unexpected.
Of course, the old eunuch would never dare to say anything about Han Du buying hog food to eat at this time. If it affected the meal that the emperor had just eaten, it would be a capital crime.
But in the face of the emperor's question, the old eunuch couldn't help but say nothing, so he had to hesitate and squeeze out a few words, "Slave, slave..."
"Father, it's better not to embarrass him. What Han Du did is disgusting to mention. It's not that he didn't say it, but he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid of affecting his father." Seeing that the old eunuch was in trouble, Zhu Biao was kind-hearted. , helped him out.
The old eunuch glanced at the prince gratefully, and explained to the emperor in an aggrieved voice: "I am loyal to the emperor. Whenever the emperor asks, I will tell you everything. However, what Han Du did is really off-putting. , so this servant dare not mention it in front of the emperor, and please forgive me."
After listening to the old eunuch's explanation, Lao Zhu waved his hand casually and spared him.
But at the same time, Lao Zhu became even more curious about what Han Du had done. Even his confidant eunuch could not tell it in front of him.
He raised his eyes and asked Zhu Biao, "What on earth did that boy do?"
When Zhu Biao saw that his father insisted on breaking the casserole and asked the truth, the weirdness on his face became even stronger, and he said flatteringly: "Father, you'd better stop asking. How about I wait for you to digest your food before I talk to you?"
"What does this have to do with whether Xiaoxiaoshi or not?" Lao Zhu frowned and asked dissatisfiedly. Then Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the chair and said in a calm tone, "Tell me, we have been fighting in the north and south in our lives. What scenes have we not seen?"
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "He was at the Western Market and bought other people's pig food and ate it home."
The air was instantly barred.
Lao Zhu was okay. He didn't react much after hearing Zhu Biao's words. After all, he had been a beggar before, had eaten a lot of strange things, and his ability to accept food was stronger than others. But just like that, a trace of greenness still appeared on Lao Zhu's face.
After all, those days of being a beggar were relatively long ago, and Lao Zhu didn't want to recall them.
Queen Ma on the side also had a dull expression after hearing this, but her control was so strong that no one could see any difference. But her fingers under the table couldn't help but intertwined with each other, as if she was holding back something.
The palace maids standing around were completely unbearable, their expressions changed drastically, and many of them seemed to want to vomit on the spot. Those who are able to enter the palace as maids, their family background is above average. They may have never been mistreated by their parents from the day they were born, and they will never experience the suffering of poor people throughout their lives. Faced with Han Du's irritating behavior, even if they just heard about it, they couldn't help it.
However, the old eunuch was already prepared for this. Just when the expressions of the palace maids changed drastically, he looked over them coldly. The two gazes were like needles, poking the palace maid with chills all over her body.
Seeing the old eunuch's gaze, the maids lowered their heads one after another, and there was nothing strange about him anymore.
Lao Zhu's face became increasingly ugly, he slapped his hand on the table and cursed angrily: "You bastard."
He stood up and walked back and forth in front of Zhu Biao angrily, "A dignified official of the imperial court went to eat pig food. Is he going against me? What on earth did he mean? Did he think that the salary I gave him was too low? Did you hear that I fined him half a year's salary and treated him harshly? That he couldn't even afford food and had to eat pig food?"
What Lao Zhu hates most is the kind of people who pretend to be crazy and act stupid, because once a person pretends to be crazy and acts stupid, there must be an ulterior purpose behind it.
Emperors are creatures with a strong desire for control. Once someone under his command has an ulterior motive, wouldn't he be the first to be targeted by this purpose?
Zhu Biao saw that his father was about to throw several hats on Han Du's head in the blink of an eye. Each hat could easily crush Han Du to death. He quickly explained to Han Du: "Father, please calm down. Han Du has no intention of doing so."
Lao Zhu turned around, glared at Zhu Biao with his eyes angrily, and asked sternly: "Then he bought pig food and went back to eat it in public. He lost all the face of the court and all my face. What does this mean? What does this mean? ?”
Lao Zhu came from a commoner background, and always asked officials to keep in mind the saying "You are paid well, and the people anoint the people. It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them." From time to time, he teaches the officials to be diligent and thrifty, and invites them to taste the so-called four dishes and one soup, which are fried radish, stir-fried leeks, stir-fried green vegetables, and green onions and tofu.
But these things are not delicious, and at most they just remind officials to remember the bitter and think of the sweet.
Even Lao Zhu did not go so far as to let all officials eat pig food. If it really came to that step, it would not be a teaching, but an insult.
Now Han Du is clearly insulting himself, but in Lao Zhu's view, he is clearly insulting him.
How can this keep Lao Zhu from getting angry?
"Father." Zhu Biao knelt on the ground and helped Han Du explain: "Father, maybe Han Du's family was in a difficult situation because of the seizure just now, which is why he did this. It's a matter of course, but if I dare to guarantee him, he has absolutely no other intentions."
