There is a tavern in Xianyang.
Standing outside the door, Gao Yao was looking forward to it.
If you don't return wealth to your hometown, it's like walking at night in brocade clothes. Now that you've been promoted and made a fortune, you naturally have to show off in front of your old friends.
As for what Lao Cui asked him to do or ask for help, it was all trivial.
In Xianyang today, for him, most things can be done with just a few words. As long as it is not a serious crime, many people are willing to make friends with him.
Apart from anything else, what about that powerful person who doesn’t like to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang?
As soon as he entered the door, he saw two people drinking at the corner of the tavern. One was drinking happily, and the other was crying. There was no one around the tables.
"Hey, brothers, stay away from that table, there's a madman somewhere!"
"This doesn't look like it! Are you mistaken?"
"No, that young man often gets drunk and makes a lot of noise. If his friend hadn't apologized, he would have been arrested long ago!"
"Why are there such people? Then I have to stay away!"
Gao Yao's cultivation level has improved a bit in recent days, and his ears and eyes are sharp, so he naturally heard these words. Looking at Xiaochuan's crying look, he was a little surprised. Could something have happened to Lu Su?
He remembered asking Le Ye, and it was said that he had food and drink. Although he looked forward to meeting Xiaochuan every day, at least there was no problem with safety.
"Hey, the official is here, please come!" The waiter in the tavern saw the green robe Gao Yao was wearing and greeted him warmly. This is a big customer.
In the Qin Dynasty, black was valued, and civilians generally wore white robes. Green robes were regarded as scholar-officials, surpassing countless ordinary people.
Seeing Gao Yao come in, the whispers in the tavern became much quieter. Seeing that Gao Yao's young face was already wearing a green robe, he was afraid that he was a true son of a powerful man.
Normally, according to the Qin Law, these nobles cannot beat people casually, but the rules are more restrictive for ordinary people. The nobles can just find a reason or a scapegoat to settle the matter.
"You go and do your work, I'm looking for a friend!" Gao Yao casually threw a few copper coins to the boy as a reward.
This guy has vision.
"Okay, Master, please come in!" He got the money just by talking, and the boy became even more excited.
Gao Yao smiled and walked up to the drunk Cui Wenzi: "Old Cui, long time no see!"
Cui Wenzi raised his head and took a closer look at Gao Yao's face before he recognized the person and was amazed.
As a descendant of Taoism, he is naturally good at facial expressions. When they first met, he saw that Lao Gao was in trouble. After staying together, he found that Lao Gao's appearance kept changing.
From being troubled by many disasters to being ordinary, he is now extremely wealthy.
"Lao Gao, you have changed so much!" Cui Wenzi sighed.
"Really?" Gao Yaoyao was happy. He spread his hands and showed his old friend the official robe and the embroidery patterns on it. He felt very comfortable.
Cui Wenzi naturally noticed Gao Yao's showing off and complimented him a bit, and the relationship between the two suddenly improved.
It is very simple for people with high emotional intelligence to be compatible with low emotional intelligence.
After complimenting each other, Gao Yao got down to business. After all, he had to go back to cook for the First Emperor in the evening.
"Old Cui, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Then he looked at Yi Xiaochuan, and Gao Yao realized something: "Are you looking for Miss Lu Su?"
Cui Wenzi looked at Yi Xiaochuan's drunken state and shook his head: "Take him with you and go back to the room!"
...
"What? You want me to give you a false identity so that you can visit Empress Yushu?" Gao Yao was shocked.
Yi Xiaochuan, who had been sobered by Gao Yao's punch, looked at Gao Yao expectantly: "Yes, Lao Gao, I heard that you are now the manager of the imperial kitchen. You won't be so stingy, right? I'll take a look and tell you that Just say a word and leave!”
Gao Yao:? ? ?
"Lao Gao, we have known each other for so long and I have never really begged you, can't I even ask you to do this little thing?" Yi Xiaochuan began to complain.
Gao Yao looked at Cui Wenzi and then at Yi Xiaochuan: "No, first of all, let's not talk about whether I have the right to arrange an identity issue. Do you know what consequences I will have if you are discovered? The lowest one will be cut in half, Yi Three tribes!”
"What do we have to do with each other? I want to help you like this!"
Yi Xiaochuan's face looked a little ugly: "Lao Gao, you and I are the only people in this world now. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone who can help me."
"Tell you, it's impossible!" Gao Yao shook his head resolutely: "Also, I suggest that your relationship with Empress Yushu end here. If others find out, I will not recognize you as a friend!"
"Gao Yao!" Yi Xiaochuan grabbed Gao Yao's arm and shouted, "Are you really going to be so selfish?"
Gao Yao was dumbfounded and grabbed Cui Wenzi who was watching the show next to him: "No, Lao Cui, can you help me see if Xiaochuan is crazy?"
Cui Wenzi laughed loudly: "Is it difficult for a hero to be a beauty? However, I agree with you. There are some things that you should not think about."
After hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan felt even more aggrieved: "Old Cui, where are you standing?"
Gao Yao casually pulled Yi Xiaochuan away: "First: Don't talk to me about this in the future, otherwise none of our friends will be able to do anything; Second: Xiaochuan, please explain to me what's going on with Liu Bang? The harm of tm I have become a eunuch, and I must let him die if I have the chance!"
Yi Xiaochuan was shocked when he felt the power in Gao Yao's hand that was far stronger than his own. Then he heard these words and quickly excused his good brother: "Brother Liu Bang is meeting you for the first time, how could he harm you? Besides, , he and I are sworn brothers, we have the same mind, how could he harm me!"
Gao Yao slapped Yi Xiaochuan heavily on the shoulder: "Loyalty? Do you think the ancients were the same as us? Loyalty and the truth are all a joke!
Do you know what I am now? Eunuch! "
"When you hit rock bottom, everything around you is real! Everything else is full of lies and deceit."
"I swear, if one day I have the power, I will definitely settle the score with that Liu Bang!" When mentioning this man, Gao Yao's face was full of sternness. If it weren't for Le Ye, he would have been turned into an eunuch by this man.
Now that he thought about the scene of being cut, he shuddered just thinking about it.
Cui Wenzi shook his head when he saw it. The world has once again driven an honest man crazy.
Yi Xiaochuan quickly tried to persuade him: "Lao Gao, don't be impulsive. If you keep hatred in your heart like this, you will have mental problems.
There must be some misunderstanding about Brother Liu Bang. I will help you ask next time we meet. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, it will be fine. "
"Misunderstanding? Hahaha, misunderstanding!" Hearing this, Gao Yao laughed: "He made me a eunuch? The misunderstanding was solved with just one sentence? Okay, the time is coming. I have to go back and prepare the royal meal. No more nonsense.”
"Old Cui, where do you live? Next time I come over and bring you the royal wine from the palace!"
"That's good!" Cui Wenzi immediately beamed when he heard Yujiu.
"Then it's a deal!" Gao Yao gestured to Lao Cui, turned around, put on his hat and left without even looking at Xiaochuan.
Different road non-phase plan.
After Gao was about to leave, Yi Xiaochuan sighed deeply: "Lao Gao has changed! He has become too strange to me. He is not willing to help me with such a small favor, and he also changes the subject and scolds Brother Liu Bang. Does he think I can't see it? ?”
"Brother Liu Bang is not that kind of person!"
Cui Wenzi looked at him deeply, without comment, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
Some people see the truth clearly, and some people are still immersed in their dreams. This world is really funny.
...
Late at night, after Ying Zheng finished giving instructions on today's official duties, he suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Pass the meal!"
"promise!"
After a while, the head eunuch brought over the first plate, with a bowl of water and a white and transparent lotus on it.
Ying Zheng frowned: "What does this mean?"
The chief eunuch explained: "The chef Gao said that eating too much late at night is not conducive to your majesty's sleep, so he made a light meal for your majesty, called: The Color of the Country and the Color of the Sky."
"Oh, is there any other explanation for this?" Ying Zheng was a little curious when he saw the clear water at the bottom of the bowl and the white lotus in front of him.
"Your Majesty will know the result when you put the lotus in the bowl." the steward explained.
Ying Zheng was a little curious, so he cleaned his hands first, then picked up the colorless and transparent lotus and put it into the bowl. The lotus melted when it entered the water, and then a fragrance spread in the bowl, making people salivate.
I picked up the spoon and took a small bite. The temperature was just right. The most important thing was that the taste was amazing, just like tasting the national color of peonies.
"Suck~" A moment later, Ying Zheng had finished the drink in one gulp. Like other foods Gao makes, every time he eats it, his body instantly feels as warm as the warm sun in winter.
"Ha~" Ying Zheng yawned and lay down on the bed.
"Tomorrow during the eclipse, at the beginning of the morning (7 o'clock in the morning), announce your request!" Ying Zheng casually ordered before going to bed.
"No!" The eunuch in charge quickly agreed, and then his eyes were full of envy.
Being able to make flowers out of vegetables is a skill.
Unlike people like him, who always have to look at other people's faces, fortunately, he had made good friends with that high-ranking official early on.
The second day.
"Xuan Gao wants to see you!"
The eunuch in charge taught Gao Yao the rules early in the morning, so Gao Yao did not do anything rude.
When he arrived at the study, he lay down on his hands and knees.
Although he has a title, he is still a slave. When he sees the monarch, he must kneel down. Anyway, Ying Zheng is more than two thousand years older than him, so he can be regarded as an ancestor.
"Raise your head!" Ying Zheng ordered.
Gao Yao quickly raised his head.
Ying Zheng took a look. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was loyal and honest. He looked like an honest person. Her skin is pretty good, and she seems to be taking medicated food regularly.
In the past few days, he has also found that his skin has improved a lot, and he has not felt greasy for a long time. Even the elixirs refined by the sorcerers for him have not been touched for a long time, and the cases of constipation and bleeding are becoming less and less.
The key is that you need to be careful and patient. Every time you want to eat late at night, you will have all kinds of desserts and delicacies. This means you can do things effectively.
Of course there will be rewards for such loyal and useful slaves.
"Okay, let's get down." Ying Zheng ordered.
Gao Yao was stunned, thinking that His Majesty came to him to ask him how to cook, but he organized the conversation for a while and even practiced it several times with Le Ye. Why did he just look at it and tell him to get out? Isn’t this a joke?
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"No!" He stood up, bowed his head and took a few steps back. When he reached the door, he turned around and hurried out.
Ying Zheng continued to process official documents. He was just a mortal, but as the supreme being in the world, he had to remain mysterious and noble.
That is to say, talk less and let others guess more, so that people can’t figure out themselves. When a person's personality and hobbies are completely understood, then the emperor will probably come to an end.
"Xuan!"
A eunuch came in and took a pen to record.
"Bo Gaoyao, the master of Guanglu Temple, is capable of doing things, and he is very popular with me. I have promoted him to be the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple, in charge of the kitchen, with a bounty of ten catties, ten acres of land, and two maids."
"No~"
Returning to the kitchen, everyone here is full of expectations and enthusiasm.
"Master Bo, what did your Majesty tell you?"
"Master Bo, has your Majesty rewarded you?"
...
Facing these men, Gao Yao raised his head high and pondered for a while before saying: "Don't say it."
The subordinates who had been waiting for a long time were speechless for a while. It cannot be said that you have been pretending for so long.
"Your Majesty's edict!" A black-robed eunuch came in to announce the edict and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Master Bo Gaoyao, you are able to do things effectively, and I am very happy..." After announcing the edict, the black-robed eunuch enthusiastically helped the green-robed Gaoyao up: "General Manager Gao, congratulations."
"Hahaha, we are happy together, we are happy together!" Gao Yao also responded enthusiastically to Shangguan's show of goodwill.
Whether it is doing things or dealing with people, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
...
On this day, Gao Yao was lying comfortably on the bed in Gao Mansion, with two delicate maids squeezing his legs and shoulders.
The so-called Gaofu is actually a house with three entrances, but next to Xianyang Palace, it can be said that every inch of land is precious.
Although he is responsible for Ying Zheng's meals, he is only one person. Sometimes Ying Zheng will go out for an outing or go to the harem to play jungle, so he has some free time to rest.
Of course there were two maids serving Le Ye who was on the bed next to him. Xiao Huang Mao's eyes were filled with comfort, his limbs were spread out, he was lying on his stomach, and his pink tongue was sticking out, his tail was dangling, and he was talking from time to time. Sweeping between the maid's legs.
"Ah!" "Meow!" One person and one cat are extremely comfortable.
This is life!
This is meow life!
"Master, there is someone outside who wants to see you!" said the housekeeper who was guarding the door. This housekeeper was an old eunuch in the palace, but he was older, so Gao Yao asked him to come over.
This kind of old man has a lot of experience and will not make any jokes when guarding the door.
Gao Yao frowned: "No!"
During this period, Yi Xiaochuan had been fighting hard and wanted to take his route to the palace for a private meeting with Yu Shu.
I heard that after he was promoted, he walked more frequently.
After meeting twice, Gao Yao asked the guard to stop him and directly threatened: "Xiaochuan, I hope this is the last time you come to see me. You don't want the news about you and Empress Yushu to be known to outsiders, and Yushu is left alone in the end." Please suffer in the palace!”
Yi Xiaochuan hasn't been here for a while since then, but he didn't expect to change his attitude.
"That person is a woman, and she said her name is Lu Su!" the housekeeper continued to explain.
Lu Su? Gao Yao was a little strange, why did she come to him?
Could it be that he was asked to help find Yi Xiaochuan? Thinking of the girl who could sacrifice her life for love, but was willing to wash, cook and sweep the floor for a man, Gao Yao still had a good impression.
However, when he thought about how such a good girl fell in love with a scumbag like Yi Xiaochuan, he felt instantly uncomfortable.
"Ask her to go to the living room and wait for some good tea!" Gao Yao ordered.
"promise!"
