Chapter 1274 Send
The servant put the marinated venison on the iron plate and turned it over skillfully. In a moment, the aroma spread. Liu Huan, who insisted on roasting the meat himself and burnt it, saw it and immediately dropped his piece of meat and sat down to wait for the meal.
Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang looked down on him and continued with their actions.
They obviously do this kind of thing often and their skills are much better than Liu Huan's.
Two servants stood by and helped them grill the meat. When it was done, they put it on a plate and served it to them. It was the first time for Manbao and the others to eat venison, and they were very excited.
The three of them carefully tasted it, and then their eyes lit up as they rolled up the rest and put it in their mouths. Liu Huan was pleased with himself, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
The three of them nodded in unison. Man Bao said, "It doesn't have the smell of lamb, but it's more tender than beef. The meat is firm and firm. It's really delicious."
Yin Huo smiled and said, "If you like, I'll have someone send some to you when my father hunts a deer later."
Bai Shan asked curiously, "Is that a wild deer hunted in the mountains, or is it raised in a hunting ground?"
Yin Huo said, "Both, but it's hard to hunt wild deer in the mountains, and it's snowing now, so the mountains are dangerous. That's why they usually go to hunting grounds."
Feng Zongping said, "Even the hunting grounds aren't easy to hunt. The people at Sinong Temple are quite tired of forest affairs. Every year they just release some young animals into the grounds or feed them some food, and that's it. Sometimes when we go in and hunt some good prey, they take it away, saying it's for breeding, but who knows how many are actually taken for breeding?"
Yi Ziyang was also very dissatisfied. "Last time we went in and hunted a roe deer, they said it was a female roe deer and was pregnant, so they took it away. But two days later, Li Yi invited us to his house for a drink, saying that he wanted to stew the roe deer. When we went, the roe deer looked very familiar."
When Liu Huan heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yin Huo and the others couldn't help but laugh. They said, "The Sinong Temple would occasionally send some game to my father, saying that it was found when their people went into the mountains to survey the hunting grounds."
Yi Ziyang turned to Feng Zongping and said, "Look, I'll let it go, but you, the grandson of the Minister of Justice, are no match for the grandson of the Minister of Personnel and the son of the Jingzhao Yin."
Feng Zongping stepped lightly on his foot and scolded him with a smile, "Get lost! You know that my grandfather and the Minister of Agriculture are not on good terms."
Bai Shan and the others were very curious, "Why aren't they getting along?"
Feng Zongping laughed and said, "These are all old things. It's hard to explain why. Anyway, they just don't get along. They are just trivial matters. Who doesn't have a few enemies as an official? Even you have enemies, don't you?"
Liu Huan looked up and asked, "Are you talking about Princess Yunfeng and Prince Xinqing?"
Manbao looked up while eating and asked, "Are they going to seek revenge on us?"
Feng Zongping and Yin Huo were the most informed, especially Yin Huo. His father was the Jingzhao Yin, and he could get palace news much faster and more accurately than the Minister of Justice. He said, "I heard that the Queen Mother is looking for a horse for Princess Yunfeng. Princess Yunfeng might get married next year."
Manbao said, "It's too early. She's only just come of age. It's not good for a girl to get married too early."
Everyone: ...Isn’t this focus a bit strange?
Yin Huo was about to speak when Man Bao asked again, "Do you have a family you're interested in? I hope it's not in the capital or back in Yizhou. We should avoid her from now on."
Yin Huo and the others felt relieved again, shaking their heads with laughter. Yin Huo said, "I heard that the Queen Mother wants to find a small noble family in the Jiaodong area."
"The Xinqing County Prince's fiefdom is in Dizhou. I imagine the Queen Mother is looking there as well," Feng Zongping said cheerfully, his spirits rising. "When the Yizhou Prince first arrived in Beijing, the Queen Mother and my grandmother asked me about it. Fortunately, my grandfather had a feeling something was amiss when he was investigating Su Jian's horse-riding fall, so my grandmother declined."
Yi Ziyang: "They may not be interested in you. I heard that the palace originally wanted the Wang family, and that person too, so you'd better be careful when you enter the palace recently."
Bai Shan and the others were listening with great interest, but they didn't expect him to bring the topic back to them. He blinked and asked, "What does this have to do with us?"
"Of course it's related," Feng Zongping said, "Princess Yunfeng is in a bad mood, aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble for you?"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "I'm not really afraid of this."
He looked at Manbao, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you scared?"
Manbao shook his head.
Now, when she enters and leaves the palace, she is either accompanied by the Queen's people or the Prince's people. She basically will not come into contact with a third person along the way, and everyone treats her with courtesy.
It would be fine if it happened outside the palace, but she didn't believe that Princess Yunfeng would come and cause trouble for her in person in the palace.
Bai Shan has this confidence because he has seen the sincerity of the Queen and the Prince.
Feng Zongping raised his eyebrows, and became more aware of Zhou Man’s current importance to the palace. Although he really wanted to ask, could the prince’s illness really be cured?
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips, and forced himself not to ask. Forget it, if his grandfather knew that he asked such a question, he would definitely be beaten to death.
But I feel so sad.
Feng Zongping could only find other topics to talk about. "Senior Tang is back in Beijing. Didn't you say you were friends with him? Why didn't you invite him out for dinner and drinks?"
The three of them said together: "No time."
Feng Zongping sighed and said, "Indeed, he has joined the Ministry of Justice and is already taking over the remaining cases of the King of Yizhou. He must be very busy right now, right?"
The three of them looked up at him together, then lowered their heads silently. What they meant was that they were busy.
I've been so busy lately, I don't have time for a get-together. If Liu Huan hadn't said he had venison...
Manbao and his friends spent a wonderful day at Liu Huan's house. The venison was really delicious.
In less than half a day, several families knew that Zhou Man liked to eat venison, so the Li family and the Han family each sent a venison leg to Changqing Lane. The three young men were amazed and experienced the benefits of harmonious doctor-patient relationship.
Manbao asked Aunt Rong to keep some, and then divided the rest into two parts, one to be sent to Erliuxiang, and the other to Zhou Wulang and others.
Even the prince knew about it. The next day, when Manbao went to the palace to treat the prince, he asked, "Do you like to eat venison?"
Manbao was afraid that he would also send some, so he quickly said, "Your Highness, I already have a lot of venison at home, and it's hanging under the eaves to freeze. Please don't send any more."
The prince nodded slightly and said, "Then I will eat it myself."
Manbao suggested: "You'd better not eat it. Wait two months before eating it."
The prince frowned, "I can't even eat venison?"
"That's not the case, but venison is an aphrodisiac, and I'm afraid you might get impulsive if you eat it."
Prince: ...
The Crown Princess, who was drinking tea at the side, spat out the tea and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and started coughing.
The prince glared at her, then turned to Zhou Man and said, "Hurry up, you still have to go to the Queen Mother's palace soon."
See you at 6pm
