Can you live forever

The capital, the son-in-law's mansion.

In the kitchen, Princess Yongchun was frying shrimp shells, and the two maids looked at it distressedly. It was not because the princess was cooking, but because the dish was too troublesome.

These days, Zhang Zhixiang is resident in the capital, because he is married, if he didn't stay up all night in the Hanlin Academy because of work, he would basically go back to the son-in-law's mansion.

The name of the mansion is Prince Consort's Mansion, and it is supposed to follow the rules of the palace.

But here it is different.

Princesses in Ming Dynasty have always been tragedies. Take Wanli’s beloved daughter, Princess Shouyang, as an example. She married a husband she liked, but was stopped by the female officer from consummating the couple. There is no way to file a complaint, but to let it go, the palace people intensified, and finally the husband and wife could not see each other several times throughout the year.

The princesses of the Ming Dynasty were basically in this situation. Even if they were better, they were not much better.

Jiajing is strong, so it is impossible for Princess Yongchun to be so miserable, but he hopes that Yongchun can marry Zhang Zhixiang, so that she will be safe and happy.

Now in the consort's mansion, no matter whether it's eunuchs, court ladies, female officials, or nanny, none of them dare to say what happened to the consort of the princess in the past.

After all, this is the Immortal Mansion.

Those ferocious beasts as high as mountains were taken as prisoners by the national teacher, how could they dare to be disrespectful at all?And do your job well, just do your job well.

As for the residence of more than one wife, the princess, they dare not say too much.

It's just that the two maids who have been with Yongchun since childhood, seeing that the princess doesn't have the mentality of a big wife, it's fine. They study some time-consuming and laborious dishes all day long, and spend very little time with the son-in-law. Is this really okay?

That's fine.

But why do you have to do it yourself?Six prawn noodles, [-] small river prawns, brush the roe, remove the prawn brain, peel the prawns, boil the prawn oil, pound the prawn powder, cook the prawn soup...

Is it really okay to work for six or seven hours just to cook a bowl of noodles for the son-in-law?

Just give me an order, and the cooks are ready to send it over...

"After cooking the soup, the shrimp shells are dried, ground, and then mixed with flour and kneaded. It will be ready soon." Yongchun recited the steps, took out the dried shrimp shells, and began to grind them.

After more than an hour, the shrimp noodles were finally fished out.

Stir-fried shrimp roe, oiled shrimp, and boiled shrimp brain are mixed together after simple seasoning, covered on the shrimp noodles, poured shrimp soup along the side of the bowl, and poured shrimp oil on the shrimp, Finally, add chopped green onions...

One bowl, two bowls, three bowls...

Seeing that Yongchun was about to leave, the maid Fenghua finally couldn't help but said: "Princess, it's fine for you to cook for the son-in-law, why do you even have to take care of those women? Especially, especially Wang Jiangque."

"I don't even know if she is my wife or you are my wife."

"Even if Mr. Qingyang is honorable, but she ignores you, why do you have a hot face and a cold butt?"

Yongchun tapped the end of the fast food on the maid, and said with a smile: "Speak too much, I will punish you to eat a bowl of noodles with shrimp noodles. If there are no shrimp seeds, just let it go."

"Xueyue, Fenghua will stay in the kitchen, you serve the plate with me."

Another maid pulled Fenghua, beckoned her not to say any more, and followed Yongchun to the study. …

On the road.

Yongchun suddenly asked, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xue Yue hurriedly said: "I don't dare. It's just... the servant said boldly that if you don't fight, Your Highness, it doesn't mean that others don't fight. If that Mr. Qingyang is willing, I'm afraid he can be the female chief assistant."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty once again said that if you get rid of Xu Jie, you will abdicate and return power to the people."

"Then..."

Xueyue no longer spoke, but the meaning was very clear.

The situation is beyond one's control. I am afraid that when the time comes, due to external pressure, the positions of wives and concubines will be reversed.

"You, think too much, how can there be any wives and concubines?"

"When the emperor's brother abdicates, we will not be in Daming anymore, and my husband will go to Shangzhou."

"What does the situation matter?"

"I don't look at my status, my ability, my successor, or my age. I only look at who will be by my husband's side in the future. She is the only one who can take care of my husband, so I have to call her sister."

"How can I care a little bit?"

Xue Yue was stunned, she just felt that the princess loves the son-in-law to the core.

Somewhat absent-minded, he followed Yongchun into the study, and as expected, even at home, the son-in-law was holding a pile of files and reading, while Mr. Qingyang was sitting by the side, and the two had to communicate from time to time.

The compilation of the Xuanhuang Canon is inseparable from the support of the Yongle Canon. Wang Jiangque is now responsible for the addition of the Yongle Canon, and the workload is not low at all.

For many things, Zhang Zhixiang had to seek evidence from Wang Jiangque.

Wang Cuiqiao acted as a secretary and helped sort out the materials. Zhang Jingdu was not here, but she also followed Shao Yuanjie's side. Daozang must also add to it. Longhushan has not yet discussed who will come. Zhang Jingdu is the master of heaven. Although Shao Yuanjie is not in good health, but she is in the capital, Taoist priests from all walks of life have to give face, do the expected work first, and recruit people.

As Zhang Zhixiang's direct disciple, Cang Zhu was the most tired at a young age.

She didn't need to work, but Zhang Zhixiang asked her to read it, whether it was the Xuanhuang Encyclopedia, the Yongle Encyclopedia, or Daozang. She had a good memory, so let her memorize them all...

"Husband, Sister Wang, Sister Cuiqiao, Xiao Cangzhu, take a break and eat noodles together."

"Ah."

Zhang Zhixiang put down the book with a smile, took a bowl of noodles, first handed it to Wang Jiangque who didn't look up, and then took the second bowl, Xueyue brought the noodles to Wang Cuiqiao and Cang Zhu.

Seeing that Wang Jiangque just put the noodles aside, Zhang Zhixiang persuaded him, "Eat first and then look at it?"

Yongchun also followed up and said: "This fresh shrimp noodles will not taste good after it is cooled, sister, eat it quickly, the book is not in a hurry."

Wang Jiangque put down the pen, glanced at Yongchun, nodded, picked up the bowl and began to eat slowly, after only one mouthful, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Six shrimp noodles?"

Yongchun nodded and said: "Maybe not as good as my sister's taste, my sister can comment on it, and I will improve next time."

"I've heard it, but I haven't eaten it."

Wang Jiangque only said such a sentence, and began to eat, Zhang Zhixiang smiled and said: "Don't look at the Wang family's wealth, they can talk about eating and searching, don't talk about big fish and meat, there are often rice porridge in the morning. Not even meat."

"There are only a few sets of clothes, which are good, but they are all worn back and forth."

"This is the first time she has enjoyed Qingfu."

While talking, Zhang Zhixiang moved his seat and let Yongchun sit beside him.The Wang family is not stingy at all when doing business, but their own food and clothing can be saved if they can, and they insist that every penny should be used wisely.

Like the dishes made by Tian Yongchun these days, Wang Jiangque should have never eaten them.

But these high-end dishes outside, in fact, the materials do not cost much. In China, the real luxury always costs craftsmanship.It is precisely because the value is in the craftsmanship that Yongchun does it all by himself.

"Well, I also bought twenty hairy crabs. How about making crab gold-wrapped jade balls for my sister tomorrow?"

Yongchun was looking forward to it, so Wang Jiangque had no choice but to nod.

She thought for a while, and said: "If the royal family wants to return power to the people, it might as well cut off the royal family money from the court and make a redemption to avoid future disputes."

"If you feel that you can't be of much help by just managing the Jiaofang Secretary, then go to contact this matter."

"The plan is out, tell the world."

"People's concept of the royal family returning to power will become clearer. At that time, it will be logical to have a dialogue with Xu Jie and make an appointment."
