Chapter 496 Mandarin Duck
The mandarin duck stone was moved back by Tu Mi and placed at the entrance of Taoyao Tower.
People come and go, and even if you don’t pay attention, you will still take a few more glances.
This time, Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen said nothing, but Taoyao Tower was in an uproar.
Some guests believed that the red part of the mandarin duck stone was engraved with the word "disaster", which meant that beauty was a disaster, and foreshadowed that there was a beauty in the Northern Zhou Dynasty who was enough to bring disaster to the country and the people, and she should be pulled out and burned.
Ahem, this statement really resonated with Zhu Huaizhen.
Zhu Huaizhen rewarded them with a hundred tables of hot pot feast.
There are nine kinds of base ingredients, namely, mellow butter, spicy duck feet, spicy beef bones, three fresh soup, tomato spare ribs, hot and sour golden soup, pork tripe and chicken soup, sesame oil porridge, and wolfberry mushroom soup.
The ten hot pot dishes include large slices of tripe, crispy tribute vegetables, tender shrimp balls, large-sliced kidney slices, icy goose intestines, crispy tofu, boneless chicken feet, kelp seedlings, yellow cattle throat, and spicy beef.
Wow, there’s no better place to eat hotpot than Shangjing.
Some guests believe that the red part of the mandarin duck stone is carved with the word "disaster" and is probably man-made and should not be made a big deal about. After all, the ladies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were equally outstanding and could hold up half the sky.
Haha, that’s true, but Zhu Huai really doesn’t like to hear it.
Therefore, Zhu Huaizhen instructed Qiu Niang to raise the price of tea today.
Some guests also think that the red part of the mandarin duck stone is carved with the words "disaster" and it may be man-made or it may be God's will. It should not be ignored and can be dealt with slowly.
Well, that’s as good as not saying anything.
Zhu Huaizhen was too lazy to listen to their nonsense, so he might as well listen to the opera seriously.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
This "Peach Blossom Fan" paired with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall makes life happy.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
Then, Zhu Huaizhen yawned and felt sleepy again.
"Your Highness, Concubine Zhao is here." Tu Mi couldn't help but frown.
Who is Concubine Zhao Shu? Zhu Huaizhen almost blurted out.
Then she realized that it was Zhao Lian'er, a princess of a fallen country.
"One person or a group of people?" Zhu Huaizhen yawned again.
She's been sleeping a lot lately, so why does she still want to sleep?
"A group of people are starting to talk about the source of disaster." Qiu Niang sighed helplessly.
Qiu Niang listened for a while before going upstairs.
Concubine Zhao Shu only said two sentences before she started coughing and her face turned pale.
The noble lady behind him took over the conversation and talked incessantly.
"Qiu Niang, what did she say?" Zhu Huaizhen asked casually.
Oh, when I yawned, a few tears fell.
Is Zhu Huai really that sleepy?
"She said that beautiful women are not the root of trouble. We should not blame the incompetence of a dynasty on beautiful women. They are so innocent." Qiu Niang replied.
"Just one sentence?" Zhu Huaizhen continued to ask.
"There is another saying. There is no disaster in this world. The reasons for the end of a dynasty are very complicated." Qiu Niang said coldly.
