The general's wife is sick

Chapter 176 Confession [Part 2]

Xiong Zhengli was touched by Yan Bao's words, and his mouth was slightly bitter. From the time he got married to today, except in the carriage that Yan Bao returned home, he and Yan Bao had never had a proper conversation, only quarreling and intimidating.

Yan Bao continued, "You said you don't like Shuang'er, the wedding night you gave me was just to test your preferences..."

Xiong Zhengli's heart trembled. Yan Bao and Hong Yan entered the mansion on the same day, and he chose Hong Yan on the wedding night. What he didn't expect was that the next day, Yan Bao still regarded him as his wedding night.

Ever since he was a child, a sense of guilt that he had never felt before swept through his heart. Xiong Zhengli took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "Stop talking."

"Xiong Zhengli, do you like me as much as I like you?"

The atmosphere of silence froze the surrounding air, and Yan Bao let out a miserable laugh, "Teaching nuns say that when you get married, your husband is the sky, but my sky doesn't take care of me."

Still no response from Xiong Zhengli.

"Liu'er is right. I shouldn't be tempted by you. This is my first mistake. It is my second mistake to obey the Queen Mother's order to marry you. Until now, I still can't let you go. This is my third mistake."

Yan Bao's tears flowed violently, he choked up and panted, his heart ached so much that it seemed as if someone had tightly grasped it.

Suddenly, Yan Bao sat up from the bed and wiped away his tears with his hand. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Xiong Zhengli couldn't understand. Mammy taught me many ways to serve you, don't you want to try before sending me away?"

"Yan Bao!" Xiong Zhengli was angry, his eyes were complicated and sharp, and his face was slightly cold, "Don't insult yourself."

In the dark alley, when Yan Bao wanted to destroy those things crazily and became unconscious in a rage, Xiong Zhengli knew that he regarded the way others used to curry favor with men as an insult to him.

"Haha, you actually know how to cheat?" Yan Bao's voice suddenly increased, "All the grievances I suffered today were caused by you. If you want to send me out of the house, you should first give me a letter of divorce!"

"The empress dowager gave you the marriage, so I can't give you a divorce letter."

"The Queen Mother, it's the Queen Mother again!" Yan Bao panted, he covered his chest, his eyes were dark.

Xiong Zhengli stepped forward to support him, but he slapped him away.

"There is a mountain villa on the outskirts of the capital. Brother Qiulai Liu asked me to help him set it up. You can send me there." After a pause, the faint light of the candlelight resumed in front of his eyes, Yan Bao said, "From now on, I don't want to do it again. see you."

"……it is good."

In the early morning of the next day, the Empress Dowager sent someone to pick Yan Bao into the palace, and Princess Guangyang was in Yan Bao's courtyard.

Seeing Princess Guangyang, the eunuch Xuanzhi saluted, and Princess Guangyang said, "After Bao'er returned home, she had an emergency and called a doctor overnight. This morning, she just calmed down. The doctor said that the capital city is cold in winter, but Bao'er's illness The most taboo is the severe cold and the need to recuperate. It just so happens that the palace has a house in the suburbs. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, and it is backed by Mount Paektu. It is the most suitable for recuperation. Bao'er is his blessing, but he is not feeling well, you go back to the palace and report to the Queen Mother, after Bao'er is in good health, I will accompany him into the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother."

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager heard someone reply, and abruptly pinched off the armor of her little finger, and the armor made a crisp cracking sound, "This is obviously against Aijia!"

Nanny Jin's face was ferocious, and her eyes were full of brilliance, "Queen! Ever since the military officer became powerful, the Xiong Mansion's attitude has been unclear. Now, even though you beat Xiong Zhengli, he still wants to send him away. Didn't take you seriously."

"In the palace in the early years, both Concubine Hui and Concubine Jing were defeated by the Ai family. If it wasn't for the son of the Ai family who left the Ai family, how could it be the emperor's turn to ascend the throne! Even the emperor respected the Ai family, she alone What kind of disturbance can a princess married from the royal family cause? Just because of her close relationship with the emperor, she dares to blatantly disrespect the Ai family..."

The empress dowager's eyes were fierce and cold, and her anger gushed out, "Jinyu!"

Nanny Jin immediately knelt down, "The servant is here!"

"It is passed on to Ai Jiayi that this winter is very cold, and the soldiers in the northwest are living in a bitterly cold place. Ai Jia thinks of his loyalty to guard the country, and specially mobilizes 5 people to the east coast to join Cheng Rulin's coastal army. The temperature on the east coast is suitable, and There will be less war and chaos, and the soldiers who want to mobilize the past will definitely be grateful for the great kindness of Aijia."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Princess Guangyang dismissed the queen mother's palace servants, and the queen mother mobilized the Northwest Army's order to reach the emperor's Longan.

Emperor Xuande's eyes were gloomy, hatred burst out on his middle-aged but not old face, "Shen Lin!"

Shen Lin knew that the emperor was not in a good mood, so he immediately persuaded, "Your Majesty, don't get angry."

"Now she doesn't take me seriously anymore!"

Shen Lin waved all the eunuchs serving in the palace to go out, "The queen mother must also know your actions in recent years, and now I want to show you off."

"She has 5 horses when she speaks, how many people are there in the entire Northwest Army?!"

"Your Majesty, this is not the time to be angry with the Empress Dowager, you should think about countermeasures."

"Momo, hurry up and send to the northwest!"

Shen Lin immediately raised his sleeves, scooped a few spoonfuls of clear water into the Hui inkstone with a golden spoon, and the thick black ink was gradually melted away by the clear water.

In the northwest, it was snowing heavily, and the grassland was covered by wind and snow. The stern wind covered large snowflakes to block people's sight, and no one was seen within [-] meters.Every household closed their doors, and the thick cotton curtains at the door were rattling by the north wind.

Cheng Cheng trotted along the corridor to Ji Liu's room against the cold wind and heavy snow. Sister Chun took the three young masters and Tuan Mo Dahui to play in the bedroom.

Pushing open the door, Cheng Cheng shook the chill off his body outside the screen, "Master, the peppers have already begun to fruit!"

A few days ago, the chili had produced small white flowers. Ji Liudai personally collected the pollen to pollinate the chili, and now he saw that the chili had produced green fruits.

Ji Liu's footsteps approached, "Look!"

In the west wing room, it is cold outside and warm like spring inside. In order to create an environment suitable for the growth of peppers, Ji Liu strictly controls the indoor temperature. The flower pots in front of the fireplace and near the fire wall have to be rotated every once in a while.

After hard work, the pots of peppers actually stretch out their green branches in winter, looking slim and fruitful.

Ji Liu sighed, and her high-spirited smile slowly stopped, "Young master, the chili has grown fruit, are you unhappy?"

"Happy, this is all brother... the result of careful cultivation, it is the hard work of this young master!" Too happy almost said bald, Ji Liu hurried to remedy, "It's just to grow these peppers, how much manpower, material resources and ingredients are spent. , you have worked hard for these two months, and I will reward you for half a year!"

Cheng Cheng shook his head. He took good care of these peppers for two months. Compared with Ji Liu, he has more affection for these peppers. "It's not hard work. I never thought that I can grow green vegetables in winter. The young master is really amazing!"

"It's nothing, what about the bean sprouts I sent out?"

Ji Liu was flattered by the ingredients, and went with him to the corner of the room to check the soaked bean sprouts.

A piece of black cloth is covered on the pottery clay pot, and when the black cloth is lifted, there are round soybeans that have sprouted one by one, and in a few days, delicate white stems can be pulled out.

In order to grow peppers, Ji Liu completely remodeled the west wing into a greenhouse. The temperature here is high and the coals are constantly burning. It is a waste to only grow peppers. There are a lot of soybeans in the mansion. For bean sprouts.

In the rest of the corners, he tentatively planted some ordinary vegetables, and never thought about them growing vigorously. However, under the careful care of the ingredients, every plant in the greenhouse has extremely tenacious vitality, and it is still green and full of vitality.

With bean sprouts and peppers and other vegetables, he is not far from boiled pork slices, boiled fish, and spicy pot.

When he was cultivating vegetables and peppers, Tang Junyi and Xu Fan worked hard for him, and redecorated the shop according to Ji Liu's ideas. The layout of the upper and lower floors was different, and the decoration style was even more different.

The second floor is a large table box, where the four corner tables are covered with tablecloths, with handmade fake potted plants placed on them, and a complete set of bowls and chopsticks neatly placed, as if imitating the decoration style of a modern star hotel.

The first floor is the hall, with more than a dozen small tables and benches of the same style, which can accommodate 50 people to eat at the same time.

After the restaurant was decorated, Tang Junyi took Xu Fan back and forth between the back kitchen and the front hall. He bumped Xu Fan with his shoulder, "Find someone to draw pictures of all the things here and send them back to the Tang family. I want to build an identical one at home." , no, it should be a better restaurant than this one!"

Xu Fan smiled, "Do you still feel sorry for the more than 1000 taels I gave to Brother Ji?"

Tang Junyi snorted coldly, "One yard is worth one yard. He felt sorry for taking your money, so he asked me to supervise the work!"

"The three children of Brother Ji's family were named General Hussars by the emperor when they were born. This is enough to show the status of the general's mansion in the emperor's heart. How can you really not even give the children a meeting gift when you come to the northwest?"

Tang Junyi pretended to be angry, and grabbed Xu Fan's arm, "Which side are you on! Don't be sloppy with me, when will you pay off the debt on the bed, when will I calm down!"

Xu Fan sighed helplessly, Tang Junyi was always able to pull out unscrupulous things within a few words.

"When Liu'er's chili comes out, you learn it for me. I want all the recipes in the restaurant, and I won't miss one. Do you hear me!"

"Aren't you afraid that Brother Ji will drive you back to the Tang family?"

"I'm not afraid, he won't!"

"Why not!" Ji Liu came from behind, and Xiong Jinghai followed closely behind him.

Seeing Xiong Jinghai, Tang Junyi's eyes were still bright, "Such heavy snow, why are you here, you still can't let me go!"

"You are blatantly coveting my recipes. You have to learn everything before my store opens, leaving you as a competitor. For enemies, I usually like to kill them in the cradle."

When Xu Fan saw Xiong Jinghai's appearance, he knew that Tang Junyi liked him, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull him by his side, showing his jealousy.

But obviously, Xiong Jinghai didn't take him seriously.

"How could it be? I'm just learning. You think too badly of me."
