Wang Daan and others really couldn't stand the temptation of breakfast. In this era, people generally had two meals, one at eleven in the morning.
A meal at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, there is no concept of breakfast at all. Chongzhen was still driven to eat breakfast.
However, they were very hungry after riding horses at high speed all night. Once they sat down and grabbed the tachyon, they couldn't stop.
The breakfast at Yang's house was so delicious that they almost swallowed it with their tongues.
"This milk is so delicious. I'm not afraid of your jokes, Butler Zhao. This is the first time for our family to drink milk." Wang Daan put down the glass goblet, licked the hot milk on his lips, and said with emotion.
"What's so funny about this? Our Ming Dynasty lacks dairy cows. Before I started a dairy farm, I, like you, had never drank this stuff. But this stuff is really nutritious." Zhao Fu accompanied him while talking to They talked.
The Jin Yiwei didn't dare to speak, they lowered their heads and ate fiercely.
"What is this black water? Why does it smell so good?" Wang Da'an said, looking at the coffee pot that Gu Du was sitting on.
"This is called coffee. I heard from the master that it seems to be a specialty of a place called Mugudushu that the eunuch Sanbao went to when he went to the West. It is a seed produced on a tree. Would you like some?"
"Let's try some. It's really an eye-opener for our family when we arrive at Uncle Dingyuan's house." Zhao Fu brought a coffee cup and a small spoon and poured a cup of hot coffee.
Said: "This stuff smells good, but tastes bitter when you drink it. It's best to add some sugar cubes and condensed milk to make it taste better." Wang Da'an immediately followed his advice and asked Zhao Fu to add two cubes of sugar, and then poured it out from a small pot. condensed milk, and then stirred it with a small spoon. After it was done, Zhao Fu made a "please" gesture.
"Hey, it tastes really good. We were on the road last night and were very cold. After drinking this coffee, my whole body warmed up. It's really a good thing." Wang Daan said excitedly.
"We feel energetic all of a sudden. Maybe this thing has a refreshing effect." Wang Daan smacked his lips and said.
"Yes, this stuff is really refreshing."
"Oh, it's such a good thing. We stay up late at night at the Bureau of Ceremonies. If we have this treasure, we won't be afraid of being sleepy."
"When you leave, I will bring you a bag of coffee beans, a grinder, a kettle, and a set of enamel coffee tableware." Zhao Fu said with a smile.
"Then why are you so embarrassed? Look, I'm here to do something for Lord Long Live. How can I benefit myself first?"
"You have been drinking this coffee, and you are as energetic as a twenty-year-old boy. Wouldn't it be even more energetic to work for Long Live Lord? This is what the work requires." Zhao Fu also spoke very smoothly.
"Don't say anything. Brother, if you have something to do in the future, just come to me. We don't dare to say anything else. It's pretty easy to do things in Sijiu City." Wang Daan said happily.
This coffee is delicious, refreshing for one thing. Coffee machines and alcohol lamps are all made of glass, and glass is not cheap in this day and age.
This is a great gift. I had long heard that Uncle Dingyuan was generous, and that anyone who came to announce the decree would receive large benefits. I didn't expect that I would get such a good thing before I left.
The accompanying officers of the Imperial Guard did not dare to speak. Their identities were too far different from those of Uncle Dingyuan.
Besides, Yang Fan is actually the second most powerful person in Jinyiwei. How dare they come to Yang Fan's house to cause trouble.
Everyone was trembling with fear. They just kept stuffing delicious food into their mouths. This is the first time they have had such a delicious breakfast after being on duty for so long.
Even though the officers were all big-bellied men, the maids kept serving steamed buns and various kinds of food. The Yang family has enough breakfast to satisfy them.
When Xiao Niangpi came out, she saw that all these people were full of food. I can't even bend down.
He covered his mouth with his little hand and almost laughed.
"Wang Banban, it's been a long time no see." Xiao Niangpi said with cupped hands. Although Wang Da'an was an old man when Chongzhen was in Prince Xin's Mansion, and he was relatively familiar with the emperor himself, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the Clerk of Ceremonies.
There are only five or six eunuchs in the hall. However, calling him Wang Banban would put a premium on his face.
Only Wang Chengen and a few others are qualified for this honor. When Wang Daan heard what the little girl said, he was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up, he waved his hands and declined: "Madam, you are ruining our family. I still know how many pounds our family has. I can't afford it. I can't afford it." Get up." Although he declined, the happy expression on his face was not fake.
"They are all old people who believed in the palace back then. If you have any questions, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can." Xiao Niangpi said boldly.
Wang Daan's heart felt hot. This was the result he most wanted to see. Ming Dynasty is a humane society. It is better to talk about anything in private than to do it officially.
Immediately, he explained what Chongzhen meant. He felt a little uneasy. After all, at this time, the rebels were also a great threat to Dingyuan Bo's territory.
It is really unreasonable to take Xinghe Tuanlian away at this time. Couldn't it be that he only cares about the capital and does not care about the life and death of Uncle Dingyuan's territory?
In fact, Xiao Niangpi was woken up this morning and heard that the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies had arrived. She and Lin Yueru had a close guess.
The front line must have been defeated and there are not enough troops. Now the emperor must be anxious. Those who can be remembered by the emperor in their own family have always been able to fight.
The chariot camp guarding Qianhu Station was captured in front. This meeting must have come from training for the Xinghe Group. At present, the emperor knows about Yang Fan's private soldiers. One is Xinghe Tuanlian. They are responsible for the security of Yang Fan's industry.
One is the Yang Mansion's servant group, because now there are no generals who don't support their servants. If the Yang Mansion does not maintain an elite team of servants, it will arouse suspicion.
Do you have any bad intentions in hiding it? Why don't you dare to make it public? Now the servant regiment has followed the master. The emperor is eager to put down the rebellion, so he must have come here to train with the regiment.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru discussed it for half an hour. Since His Majesty has already issued an order, there is no way to ignore it.
Unless the Yang family doesn't want to hang out in Ming Dynasty. They felt that even if they sent out the group training, there would be no serious consequences.
In a few days, the wheat harvest in the west will be finished. At that time, everyone will retreat to the earth building, and people and food will enter the fortress. Even those soldiers from Ji Town will not be able to conquer it even if they come.
"To tell you the truth, since the Jizhou mutiny, dozens of groups of rebels have come in to rob our land every day. The summer grain has just matured and has not been harvested yet. The rebels come to snatch the harvest and kill and injure many of our people. . That is to say, this new city is strong, otherwise, the city will suffer great losses." Although I have decided to obey the order, I must express my difficulties and grievances.
It’s not easy to let your boss know how hard it is for you. Otherwise, people would think that you are having an easy time here. A person must be capable and able to speak. If someone has worked hard for ten years, it is better for him to say a word.
Therefore, you must be able to speak well. Only then can we survive in the dark society of Ming Dynasty.
"However, no matter how difficult it is, it is not as difficult as your Majesty. I will call the regiment to gather together. Let the regiment follow the father-in-law back to the capital," Xiao Niangpi said.
