Queen Ma took Zhu Xiongying out of the palace.
Lao Zhu stood at the door of Yangxin Hall, staring blankly at the backs of his sister and grandson.
What's going on? Why is the girl still out of the palace?
I wanted to ask Zhu Biao later.
But Zhu Biao skillfully picked up a small wooden box from the table and took out a small stick that looked familiar.
Lao Zhu was confused, why did this thing look so familiar?
By the way, I saw it at Fang Xiaozi's place.
Zhu Biao skillfully took out the huozhezi from the wooden box, blew it on fire, and then placed a small stick on the huozhezi and lit it.
Under the surprised gaze of our old man Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao put his mouth close to the stick and took a deep breath. He showed a very relaxed look. He leaned back slightly, raised his head slightly, and then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
In the smoke, Zhu Biao, who was a little upset by the memorial, regained his energy and continued to bury his head and review the memorial.
Lao Zhu was dumbfounded.
What the hell is this?
What is that little stick?
It is said that during the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were demons who refined elixirs and took them to make dragons and tigers live.
This little stick is not like that!
Biao'er is so confused, how could he swallow the poison pill!
Lao Zhu quickly stepped forward, snatched the cigarette from Zhu Biao's mouth, threw it to the ground and stamped it out with both feet.
"Biao'er, how can you use such a powerful medicine? It's poisonous!"
Zhu Biao looked at Lao Zhu in confusion.
"Father, who told you this thing is poisonous!"
Looking at Lao Zhu with disgust, Zhu Biao picked up the cigarettes on the ground again.
Pat the dust on it, it's good, it's still clean, but it can't be wasted.
"This is good stuff!" Zhu Biao took two more puffs and smoked the cigarette again.
Breathing out a puff of smoke beautifully.
Zhu Biao slowly said: "This is a cigarette. When you are tired from reviewing memorials, taking a puff is the best way to relieve fatigue."
"Marquis Yongchang sent them to everyone a few days ago, don't say Jin Yiwei didn't tell you!"
Lao Zhu blinked, Mao Xiang, this bitch, didn't tell me about such a big thing.
"Biao'er, this, is this really not the medicine of tiger and wolf?" Lao Zhu asked.
Zhu Biao glanced at Lao Zhu: "Of course not, otherwise I could get him here."
Lao Zhu:? ? ?
Lan Yu actually has something good but doesn't give it to us first. He should kill the nine tribes.
"Biao'er, can you give us one to try?" Lao Zhu licked his lips and said with some envy.
Zhu Biao looked at his old father and curled his lips: "No more. I forgot to bring it with me today. This is the last one. If my father wants it, it is better to wait for my mother to come back!"
Lao Zhu was surprised: "Did you also give blue jade to your mother?"
Zhu Biao said: "That's not true, but this business must be in the hands of the queen mother!"
Lao Zhu was even more confused.
Zhu Biao explained: "Lanyu said when he came to present this thing, this cigarette is a huge profit item and is not suitable for private sale by the private sector."
"The people are short-sighted. If this kind of tobacco is grown in a large area, it will definitely affect food production. It is better to nationalize this thing and hand it over to the imperial court for management."
"But I guess this is definitely not Marquis Yongchang's idea. Father, haven't you investigated it and met the people behind Marquis Yongchang?"
"Don't you know this matter?"
Lao Zhu was a little embarrassed. Fang Jingzhi never mentioned this to him!
Join Lan Yu and our girl to do business!
This is to encourage our girl to go into business!
This damn boy doesn't know our attitude towards businessmen. He is unforgivable.
But in front of my son...
Lao Zhu raised his neck and said with a straight face: "How can we not know about this? We are just testing you to see if you know it or not!"
Zhu Biao was a little speechless. This father is so face-saving.
Under Lao Zhu's envious eyes, he smoked his last cigarette, raised his foot and stamped it out, lowered his head and continued to deal with the memorial.
Lao Zhu looked at the cigarette butts thrown on the ground and licked his lips.
Inexplicably, I felt a little greedy.
Damn Lan Yu, I'll deduct half a year's salary if you turn around.
…
Yuanyang Tower.
Queen Ma looked at Lan Yu puzzled.
Lan Yu said that she and Huang Sun were invited to taste the latest delicacies.
But I didn’t see any delicious food, but I saw so many veterans.
Queen Ma had been to the military formation back then, so she could naturally tell the origins of these people at a glance.
Lan Yu was waiting for the tea and said: "The empress has a keen eye and can tell at a glance that these people are all veterans of Chen Zhuangzi."
"I dare not hide it from you. Some of these people were soldiers under King Kaiping, and some were soldiers under the subordinates of the ministers. They all retired from the army because of their disability!"
Empress Ma hummed, and looked at the old soldiers with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "They are all people who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!"
Lan Yu said: "Yes, they are all for Ming Dynasty!"
Empress Ma nodded and touched Xiao Zhu's forehead next to her: "Heroes, remember them. Remember that they are for the Ming Dynasty. When you become emperor in the future, you must treat them well!"
Xiao Xiao Zhu nodded seriously: "Grandma Huang, I will remember them. Like my uncle, they are all people who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!"
When several old soldiers who were waiting heard this, they all shed tears and fell to their knees one after another.
"I'll wait, I'll wait for you, old soldier. Thank you, Queen!"
Empress Ma and Zhu Xiongying hurriedly stepped forward, helped a few people up and said, "Don't be like this. I went out in plainclothes today because I heard what Marquis Yongchang said about you. Since you have opened a restaurant, I will come to support you." Keep up the good work!"
"If it's not delicious, I won't pay you!" Queen Ma said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old soldier wiped the tears from his eyes and said: "My wife and the emperor's grandson are willing to taste the food cooked by the old man and others. That is our blessing, so how can I ask for your money!"
"That's not possible!" Queen Ma smiled, looked at these people and said, "Since I have eaten your food, I will naturally give you money, but again, I need to taste the food you cooked first. how is the taste!"
"Then let's go cook for your Majesty first. Your Majesty, we killed a new sheep this morning. The person in charge of killing the sheep is Lao Liu. His knife skills are excellent, and the mutton slices are as thin as cicada wings. You must try it!"
"Okay, then bring over the dishes you have. If they are delicious, how about I ask the emperor to write a sign for you!" Queen Ma said with a smile.
The old soldiers suddenly grinned.
Emperor Sun wrote a sign for him.
This is a great gift.
Must be grasped.
All the old soldiers became energetic and went downstairs to show off their good work.
The dishes must be washed, not once, but twice.
You have to choose the tenderest mutton, and your knife skills must be good!
The guards on the first floor also opened their eyes and stared at the group of veterans.
Hey, look at how good this knife is. He really deserves to have killed twenty Yuan people.
Look at the speed at which the dishes are washed and how clean they are.
This guy was bullied a lot in the military, so he must have been trained to do it.
Private room on the second floor.
Queen Ma looked at Lan Yu.
"Lan Xiaoer, with your wisdom, you can't come up with such an idea."
"Let me come to see these old soldiers. You probably don't just want to treat me and the emperor's grandson to dinner!"
"Tell me, what the hell are you planning!"
Lan Yu chuckled: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you!"
Immediately, Lan Yu repeated what Fang Jingzhi taught him.
