Chapter 791 Cherish This Fate
The Tiger Guards and Dragon Guards took great pains to finally capture the escaped geese, but more than a dozen were trampled to death.
Then Yan Qingshan made the decision and asked the kitchen to prepare a big goose for everyone in the evening.
Even the food for the servants was cooked by the imperial chef with the right ingredients. It was impossible for it to taste as good as what the imperial chef cooked, but it was enjoyable.
The geese were hatched in the space, raised in the space, and ate the food grown in the space... When these big geese are stewed in a pot, their fragrance spreads from ten miles away, and they are extremely plump and delicious when they are served.
Xinbao judged others by his own experience, thinking that his wife and apprentice must hate the goose to the core because they were bitten by it, so he didn't eat his meal. He used his two small hands to hold the serving chopsticks and tried his best to pick up goose meat for his wife and apprentice, while earnestly urging them to eat more: "Eat more, and you won't be angry anymore..."
The two of them were of the same mind, and neither of them told her that they were not angry. They held up their bowls to receive the goose. Xinbao took one for each of them, not leaning on either side, while saying, "Goose is the most delicious friend of mankind. Eat a little more and cherish this relationship."
Poof! Hao Huashi wanted to laugh, and said, "Speaking of which, this goose is really fierce. If you don't know kung fu, even an adult may not be its opponent."
"That's right!" Xinbao's eyes flickered as he advised him softly, "They train so hard to make their meat stronger and more delicious. So, you won't be angry after you eat them, okay?"
Puff! Hao Huashi laughed and said, "Master is right, then I won't be angry anymore."
He opened his mouth exaggeratedly and took a bite.
Goose meat is really tender and fat, but not as greasy as pork fat, and it tastes delicious.
Yan Qingshan asked: "Xinbao, did you leave a few for Yeye to try?"
"I'll keep it!" Xinbao was very proud: "Xinbao will never forget it. Xinbao will keep it for himself... In short, no matter what good things they are, Xinbao will definitely leave them for his family!!"
Yan Qingshan nodded.
Hao Huashi was eating when he suddenly looked up: "Huh?"
Everyone looked at him. Hao Huashi said, "I heard a group of people coming over. There are about ten of them."
As he spoke, he stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Xinbao didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat and he opened his arms quickly: "Hold me! It's my brother! It must be my brother!!"
Hao Huashi and his men ran out, then came back quickly and carried the young master away. Yuan Shenjue quickly put down his chopsticks and followed. They stood on the wall and saw a small group of people getting closer and closer from a distance.
Xinbao stretched his little neck to look eagerly, then saw it clearly and said happily: "Brother!!"
The first person to come forward was indeed Yan Shichang. He looked up when he heard the voice and was overjoyed: "Xinbao!!"
He jumped off the horse and caught it with both hands. Hao Huashi also jumped off the roof and handed the young master down. The two siblings hugged each other instantly.
The people behind dismounted one after another, saying, "What a nice smell! What kind of food smells so good!!"
They were not shy and tied their horses nearby. They soon joined the group and went to any table to eat.
Over there, Yan Shichang was intimate with his sister for a long time before he carried her in. Madam Lin stood at the door and looked up at her third son who was as tall as a tree.
I haven't seen you for half a year, and I feel like I have grown up all of a sudden.
It's not that he's taller, or darker, but his expression makes him look more calm. Even though the little girl has teeth marks on half of his face, and even though he's still grinning and smiling naively, he looks calmer.
Mrs. Lin grabbed her son's shoulders and pulled him over. She looked at him carefully for a while and rubbed him twice. Yan Shichang smiled and went to wash his hands with his sister, then sat down to eat.
Everyone was almost done eating, and he did not ask the imperial chef to add more food. He sat down and swept away the entire plate like whirlwind, wiping his mouth while telling them about everything that had happened since they last met.
This trip was actually the first time for Yan Shirong and Yan Shichang to go on business.
Although Yan Shirong had performed errands before, they were all just hanging around in front of the emperor, which was equivalent to a role of "executing on behalf of the emperor", and there was not much need for autonomy.
But this trip was different.
This was an independent task for them, and it was also a major event. It was also the first natural disaster in the Dayan Dynasty that they had to prepare for based on the premise of "foreseeing the future".
Today, the prince's family is the most powerful, and Yan Shirong, the emperor's grandson, is also very popular. No one dares to be disrespectful to him.
But respect and discipline are two different things.
There are many people in this world who believe that the world is what they see. What's more, predicting the future is unheard of. Even some officials who are dedicated to serving the country and the people are still not proactive.
Yan Shirong's character determines that he will not rule people by force or with an iron fist.
It’s like when Yan Qingshan went to Jiangnan, he had a cold and hard personality and was extremely taciturn, and his style was very obvious.
You have to do whatever I tell you to do. If I need your opinions or suggestions, please give them. When I don't ask you, just do it as I say. You don't need any excuses. If you can't do it, I will punish you.
It’s that simple, so the people below don’t dare to do anything.
As for Yan Shirong, he will still have to go out on business in the future, and he does not plan to follow this route.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
But the various miracles that Xinbao had performed before could not be mentioned as evidence.
Therefore, Yan Shirong took the emperor's order first and led the troops himself, personally digging locust eggs from the soil, which convinced these people...
In addition to the officials, he also assigned tasks to Yan Shichang, asking him to take people to investigate, preach, recruit, construct... etc., all of which were done by him and Shen Shouyan.
He saw and heard with his own eyes and ears some of the little tricks day by day. Shen Shouyan told him about it, and Yan Shirong told him again when he came back. It really opened Tiehanhan's mind and made him learn a lot of tricks. Now that he is released, even if he can't play tricks on others, at least he can stand on his own.
When Yan Shirong wrote letters, he always reported good news but not bad news.
I wouldn't say these things when writing a memorial to the court.
Only after Yan Shichang said this did everyone understand some of the clues from it.
Xinbao sat on his brother's lap, face to face with him, tilted his head, and listened intently. Suddenly, he felt a little sad and whispered, "Brother, are you tired?"
Yan Shichang kissed her forehead and said, "I'm not tired, it feels good. My second brother is also very happy. Now I look stronger. My second brother also told me that his previous martial arts training was not in vain."
Xinbao opened her little hands and hugged him, and Yan Shichang touched her little head.
Yan Qingshan asked, "Is your sixth uncle okay too?"
"Oh, yes," Yan Shichang said, "Second brother also said that he asked me to tell you that Sixth Uncle listens to him very much, just like having a younger brother. He is attentive and hardworking but not competitive. He and Uncle are very easy to talk to."
Yan Qingshan nodded.
Yuan Shenjue also felt relieved.
It would be best if he could figure it out. After all, these are the only princes left, and Emperor Mingpei would probably not want to cause any more trouble.
As long as the Sixth Prince does not cause trouble, at least he will have a peaceful and leisurely prince in the future. Whether he is valued or not is another matter.
You have to know that these princes are not really able to build open roads while secretly attacking Chencang. At certain times, they can do so because the people on the throne are willing to turn a blind eye. But at a time like now, it is actually impossible to do so, and Emperor Mingpei cannot tolerate it.
So, you either seek to perform and take credit, so that others cannot say anything wrong with you, or someone might be willing to follow you and secretly serve you.
But once you humble yourself and show your intention to follow, even those ministers with opportunistic intentions will not dare to approach you, for they are afraid that you will turn around and sell them out to your superiors.
So there is no need to worry about whether it is sincere or not. After making this gesture, the path has been decided. I believe Emperor Mingpei will also be happy.
