Chapter 43
Chen Lian had this attitude, which was indeed beyond his expectations.
Zhao Xiang was still trying his best to make up the speech and was ready to persuade Chen Jian again.
Chen Lian said, "The current saint has five sons, three of them have been crown princes. The former saint is the most virtuous, but they die strangely. Your uncle was the emperor, but now he has been abolished and imprisoned for life. However, only your father has not been treated well by the saint before, but he was appointed as the crown prince in the new dynasty. In fact, who now knows that the position of the crown prince is a fire pit and should refuse, but your father accepts it happily. It is said that your father is cowardly and dull. Do you think so as a son of man?"
Zhao Xiang was suffocated when he heard this. He was brave and decisive since childhood. Even his grandmother's ruthlessness praised him. It was a sharp contrast to his grandmother's coldness towards his father.
People say that his father was made the crown prince because his grandmother loved him. It was just that he studied classics and history since childhood and knew that the situation is complicated now should not jump into the struggle for imperial power. However, his father did not refuse and accepted it happily after hearing the imperial edict.
Since entering Beijing this month, he has been walking on thin ice. Even so, it is still easy to avoid open guns and hidden arrows, so his father still has a strange disease, leaving the doctors helpless.
Of course, what made him feel the most heartbroken was that his grandmother had not asked about this matter.
Even though he is a king, he is still young and panicked, otherwise he would not have found Chen Lian.
Chen Lian's words are mysterious. As a son, he naturally knows his father best, so he also feels that his father is not smart sometimes. He will not please his grandmother, nor will he deliberately keep a distance from his ministers and keep a low profile. He just blindly follows the trend and has no opinion at all.
But when you think about it carefully, over the years, their family has been safe and safe.
He is also a smart person. He can't help but feel that Chen Lian is a little scary. He can't help but suspect that Chen Lian is a person with powerful means and extremely wise things. What he is planning.
He would not ask, and he hid this doubt in his heart and did not show any of it.
After talking a few more words, I said goodbye.
Chen Lian watched Zhao Xiang leave, but in the end his eyes were above the imperial city, where the majesty was getting heavier and heavier.
"Brother, I'm hungry." Ruoxi's tender voice suddenly rang behind her.
Chen Lian picked her up and chuckled softly, "Don't you go out for a free meal today?"
"I want to eat something delicious." Ruoxi grabbed Chen Lian's chin, and his brother's face was so smooth, without even a trace of velvet.
Chen Lian said: "Then we go to 'Fumanlou' to eat roast duck today. Do you want to drink wine?"
"Xi'er is still a child. You can't drink alcohol, and brother shouldn't drink it either." Ruoxi grabbed a strand of Shenlian's hair.
*******
There is actually no building in Fuman Tower, just on the next street. Next to this street is a river called Anping Canal. This artificial river is the widest river in Shendu, with a maximum of more than twenty feet.
It was the empress who personally ordered the excavation to benefit large fertile fields outside the city. Before that, the rice in the capital was expensive and it was not easy to live in large areas. Since the Anping Canal was established, the empress has created a good variety of varieties, and the price of rice in Shendu has been falling year by year.
There are countless policies that benefit the people like the Empress, so although the Empress changed its reign, it is not a bad thing for the people of the world.
‘Fumanlou’ is not a restaurant, but a tavern next to Anping Canal.
The owner of the tavern is a beautiful woman, and many people come to eat and drink, just to see her.
She is said to be a widow, and she is said to want a happy home and turn the tavern into a restaurant, so she named the shop "Fumanlou".
The Fuman Tower is not full of customers every day. After all, those customers who want to take advantage of the situation will not come if they haven’t gained benefits for a long time.
But the boss’s wife is not only beautiful, but also has good cooking skills. At first, she really left many customers, but she has one problem: the dishes she cooks are sometimes good and sometimes bad.
When it is delicious, it is really hard to compare with the imperial chefs of the palace. When it is unpalatable, it is worse than pig food.
But there is no difference in appearance, and you can only experience it when you eat it.
Chen Lian only came to eat it once, but it was almost two months ago. I was lucky that time and the roast duck I ate was memorable.
However, Chen Lian was still a little surprised when he arrived here, because there was not a single customer at this time, which was dismal.
The boss's wife is about 30 years old and has a very charming charm. When she saw Chen Lian, she smiled and greeted her. The willow waist swayed inadvertently, like the wind blowing on the willow branches, graceful and graceful.
"What do you want to eat for the young master?" she asked.
Ruoxi had already replied first: "Two plates of roast duck, no wine."
The boss lady giggled, as if she was amused by Xiao Ruoxi, then looked at Chen Lian, and Chen Lian nodded to agree.
The boss's wife then shouted: "Xiaobai, come and wipe the table for the guests. I'm going to cook."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen alone.
The guy named Xiaobai was lying in the corner. When he heard the boss's wife's voice, he got up.
Xiaobai was still a teenager with a cold expression, as if he was owed a lot of money. When he saw Chen Lian, he was a little hesitant, but Chen Lian had no reaction.
Xiaobai was the one who was hunted by his enemies that night and Chen Lian saved him casually.
His real name is Bai Shaoliu. He lost too much blood that night and finally fell at the door of the store and was rescued by the boss's wife.
Bai Shaoliu was a little familiar when she saw Chen Lian, but she couldn't think of when she had seen her. She glanced at that night and was really unable to meet Chen Lian.
After a while, a plate of roast duck was served. The slices were very evenly. Ordinary people could only see the surface. It fell into Shen Lian's eyes, but it was a perfect knife skill.
This plate of roast duck is very meaningful to cut a cow, and it is not thick and enters the gap, and as for the separation of bones and flesh.
In fact, few people pay attention to it. The best thing about the boss’s wife is not her waist, but her hands, which are white, tender and delicate, and not as rough as they are.
Of course, although the boss lady is not ordinary, Chen Lian has no other meaning and just comes to eat.
Although he did not eat grains and cut off fireworks, he still had a desire to speak out.
The seasonings were very good today, and it seemed to be a little better than his first time. The boss's wife naturally would not eat with Chen Lian. After Bai Shaoliu cleaned the table, he leaned outside the door to bask in the sun, and didn't even greet the guests. The boss's wife didn't ask him to recruit business.
It is near the water here, and it is still cool at noon.
Chen Lian even thought that it was better to move the clinic to this street than the original place.
Ruoxi is always very serious in eating, digesting the roast duck on the plate piece by piece, and eating more than Shenlian.
Suddenly, Bai Shaoliu flew in from outside the door, and happened to be Chen Lian’s table.
Fortunately, halfway through the way, Bai Shaoliu turned over and hit the table next to him.
Ruoxi was a little unhappy because some dust fell on the plate.
