After Prince An's carriage left the city, it headed directly towards Jinjia Village.
The Zhou family's field is next to the village. The carriage must pass by the Zhou family's field when going to the village. Zhou Bang was weeding weeds in the grape field with his boy at this time. When he heard the neighing of the horse, he looked up towards the official road. When I went, I saw five carriages coming towards the village.
When the carriage got closer and saw the emblem on the carriage, Zhou Bang realized that it was the carriage from Prince An's Mansion, which meant that the person sitting in the carriage was Prince An, but why was he here?
After thinking about it, Zhou Bang washed his hands with the water the boy brought and walked towards the carriage.
The soldiers following the carriage saw a man dressed as a farmer walking toward the carriage. He took a step forward on his horse and flashed the long knife in his hand.
"When King An is traveling, the rest of the crowd should quickly get out of the way."
Zhou Bang did not step forward and saluted the carriage.
"Prince An."
The curtain of the carriage was raised high by the maid, and King An, who was sitting in the carriage, saw Zhou Bang saluting directly in front of him.
King An really didn't expect it when he saw how Zhou Bang was dressed, but he didn't care about the prince of Anping County.
"Why are you here?"
"I am working in the field next to me with my boy, why is the prince here?"
Speaking of which, the relationship between the two can be called cousins. King An didn't know how Zhou Bang's family was recognized, and he didn't know the identity of the family.
However, I still have some impressions of King Zhou Bangan, who is too honest and not one of his kind. Now that I heard that he was a dignified prince working in the fields, I lost interest even more.
"I heard that Duke Zhen Guo was injured and was recuperating at your home, so I came over to take a look."
As for why Prince An came here, it turned out that he was here to see Duke Zhen Guo, which makes sense.
Then Zhou Bang took the carriage of Prince An back home. At this time, Duke Zhen was leaning on the recliner that Zhou Yu liked to lean on every day, basking in the sun in the yard, holding a snow-white baby in his arms. White Rabbit.
Hearing the movement at the entrance of the courtyard, Duke Zhen Guo, who was squinting in sleep, opened his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
He was wondering why there was such a big movement, but when he saw a familiar face standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the Zhenguogong's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly got up from the recliner.
The rabbit in his arms was frightened and disappeared with a swish.
The recliner was shaking a little. The Duke of Zhen was so anxious that he accidentally slipped his feet and fell heavily onto the recliner.
The injury on his body hadn't healed yet, but he was so painful that he grimaced after being thrown down like this.
And King An, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, pointed at Duke Zhen with one finger.
"Hahaha, you have today too."
Even Zhou Bang realized something was wrong now. Judging from the appearance of King An, he didn't come to see Duke Zhen. He was clearly here to take pleasure in others' misfortune.
Zhou Bang didn't know what grudge the two had, but the visitor was a guest. Seeing that King An was laughing so hard, he invited him in.
Duke Zhen Guo just slipped and fell. Seeing King An's appearance, he simply broke the pot and couldn't get up, so he just leaned on the recliner.
When Prince An came closer, he said angrily: "I am injured and cannot salute Prince An. I hope Prince An will not blame you."
Anyone could hear the strange aura in Duke Zhen's tone, and King An was used to the tone of Duke Zhen's words and was not angry at all.
He poked Zhen Guo Gong's hanging arm, and Zhen Guo Gong accidentally got poked in the painful area by King An, who let out another cry of pain.
"It seems that the injury is really serious, okay, I won't care about you."
At this moment, the aroma of food wafted from the Zhou family's kitchen. It was almost noon, and the Zhou family's lunch was almost ready.
As the master, Zhou Bang spoke at the right time.
"Your Majesty, why don't we have dinner at home today at noon?"
Originally, Zhou Bang was just saying polite words. The main thing was that he didn't think King An would eat at his house.
King An looked at Duke Zhen and nodded in agreement without thinking?
"Okay, I'll eat at your house for lunch."
The maid who was following King An quietly retreated when she heard that her master was going to have dinner at Zhou's house at noon.
He ordered people to take out a lot of ingredients from the third carriage, and brought a cook into the Zhou family's kitchen.
The brother and sister were working in their respective study rooms. When they heard the noise in the yard, they came out of the study room and saw King An standing in the yard at a glance.
The two brothers and sisters of An Wang are no strangers. Zhou Yu came because of the matter between Wang Gang and Bai Mo. When Zhou Yan was the head of the Bai family, he had to pay a lot of filial piety to Prince An every year. Prince An also saw him from afar. Passed twice.
"I've met the prince."
The brother and sister stepped forward to salute King An.
"Forget it."
"Daughter, the prince is going to have lunch at our house today. You go to the kitchen and ask Wu and the others to add two dishes."
Zhou Yu listened to his father's instructions and then went to the kitchen.
But when he entered his kitchen and saw the scene in the kitchen, he quietly left.
After looking around the yard and confirming that it was his kitchen, Zhou Yu walked in again.
In the kitchen at this time, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Deng were standing in the corner. Zhou Yu didn't notice them when he came in just now, but he paid attention now.
Next to the pot where the two of them were cooking, a middle-aged man was chopping vegetables on the chopping board. His knife skills were first-rate.
Standing next to her was a woman dressed as a maid. Needless to say, Zhou Yu could guess that she was a maid from Prince An's Mansion. There were also two other women helping out, one lighting the fire and the other washing the vegetables.
There are a lot of ingredients placed next to them. Even though Zhou Yu is a foodie, there are many ingredients that she is not famous for. For example, there is this dark thing in the basin in front of her. Is it edible?
The maid noticed Zhou Yu and heard the servants of the county prince's palace calling her girl. She guessed Zhou Yu's identity and saluted Zhou Yu.
"This slave has met the Lord of Jiahe County."
Zhou Yu waved his hand and the maid stood up, then looked at the maid.
"This is what you are doing?"
"Back to the county master, the prince plans to have dinner at the house today at noon, but the prince is so rich that he is used to eating the food in the prince's house. I'm afraid he won't be used to the food in the house. The cook is the prince's usual cook, and these ingredients are also the prince's usual food. Like food.”
The maid said this clearly because she dislikes their family's food, but who is the prince? He is much better than their Xibei family, that's all, she can do whatever she wants, and she doesn't have to worry about adding anything. vegetable.
Half an hour later, the whole family was sitting around the table, but now there was another King An in the family.
All the dishes made with ingredients brought by Prince An's Mansion were placed in front of Prince An, while all the dishes from the Zhou family were placed on the other side.
Judging from the appearance alone, the Zhou family's food is indeed similar to pig food. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Deng were not cooks in their previous homes, and their cooking skills were only average.
But the chef of Prince An's Mansion is amazing. He was brought from the palace, and the food he cooks is certainly not bad.
