Lingquan after kitchen

Chapter 77
Ouyang Jinfeng hurriedly said: "Xiaoqin, we want to eat the mutton on this table, you can't take it away from them."

Xiaoqin shook her head and said, "No."

"I underestimated their appetite." Ding was a little worried.This is the Duke's Mansion's banquet for the Qi family, and the Qi family cannot leave without food.I didn't expect that it would not work if the food was cooked too well.

"You don't need to buy it. You tell the kitchen to stop the mutton, and take the duck blood, meatballs, tripe, mutton head, louver, and brain." After finishing speaking, Ouyang Jinhua explained to Ding: " Last night, Uncle Qian told me that there are at most three people coming to Qi’s mansion. I always prepare more for banquets. This time I prepared ingredients for two more people. I also made a few catties of meatballs and fish balls, and asked the kitchen to buy a few catties Duck blood should be enough."

Ding said casually: "A half-grown boy, eat me to death. There are four boys from Qi's family, all of whom practice martial arts, so they must be able to eat all of them."

Xiaoqin couldn't help but said in a low voice: "I heard from the servants inside that the Duke eats the most, and the son also eats more than before."

"There are two butchered chickens and three river fish in the kitchen, which are also delicious for cooking." Ouyang Jinhua asked Xiaoqin to spread the word.

After a while, Xiaoqin returned with a strange expression, closed the door and said in a low voice: "General Qi cried like a drunk child, and even dragged the son to thank you."

Ding's face was puzzled.

Ouyang Jinhua lowered his eyes, and said softly: "Uncle Qi committed suicide a few days ago, and later he went on a hunger strike. It was useless for Uncle Dongfang to persuade him. Xuan Yi scolded him, so he was willing to let Jinyu take the pulse."

Xiaoqin couldn't help but praised: "My son is so eloquent, he actually convinced General Qi."

Ouyang Jinhua smiled slightly, and said: "Xuan Yi's mouth is sharper than a knife, as long as he takes advantage of it, the dead will be scolded out of their graves."

Ding couldn't help laughing, "He scolded him, but he still thanked him a thousand times, this is his skill."

Yu Zixi said: "Sister, Brother Dongfang seems to be unable to speak against you."

Ouyang Jinfeng seemed to have discovered the big secret, and whispered: "Yes. Brother Dongfang is a little afraid of sister."

Ouyang Jinhua smiled and said: "It's not that he can't say it, he's just greedy, and he's afraid that I won't have his share in cooking."

That night Qi Haitao stayed in the Duke's Mansion for the night, and Qi Zhan stayed with him.

Yu Zixi naturally lost to Qi Zhan in the martial arts competition, but she won on horseback, and Qi Zhan did not force Qi Zhan to call her elder.

Qi Zhan stayed in the Duke's Mansion for two days and one night, and had the most contact with Yu Zixi, but never saw Ouyang Jinhua.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the court, Ouyang Yue quietly promoted Ouyang Teng to a higher official position.

The East Palace is besieged on all sides, and Murong Ming has no intention of dealing with Ouyang's family at this time.

On a sunny morning, the grandparents of the Ding family left the Duke's Mansion and returned to Ouyang Mansion in Chang'an, where the lanterns and festoons were decorated and they were about to marry their bride, in a carriage.

Ding asked, "Jinye and Weiying haven't returned home these days?"

The servant girl replied: "Eldest young master and eldest young mistress are busy in the Confucian mansion every day until late, and they go there before dawn the next day."

Ouyang Jinhua asked: "Grandma, Uncle and Aunt Leng are married, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are very filial, so don't you need to participate?"

Ding frowned and said, "You don't need to participate." Whether Ouyang Jinye participated or not, people would gossip about his spine.

On the first day of the big wedding between Ouyang's family and Leng's family, something happened in the East Palace.

Murong Ming originally wanted to shift the responsibility for leaking questions in the third scientific examination to Murong Feng.

Unexpectedly, Murong Feng, who was still in the closed residence of the Prince's Mansion, sent someone to pass a message to him, saying that during the first and second scientific examinations, Murong Yangxiao sent Murong Feng to the South and North to inspect and was not in Chang'an.

After discussing with Empress Wu, Murong Ming passed all the responsibility for leaking questions in the three scientific examinations to Crown Princess Wuzhi in the court hall.

Wu Shi is 24 years old this year, and nine years ago, Chun Jiji married Murong Ming when he was 15 years old.

Murong Yangxiao's first scientific examination was in the autumn of that year.

Murong Ming pushed it to Wu Zhi, the timing was right.

Not counting the two illegitimate children before the marriage, Wu Clan gave birth to two daughters and one son to Murong Ming. His son Murong Fengzhen was not yet three years old, and he was named grandson and county king at birth, with a very distinguished status.

Wu Shi has never been involved in leaking the question at all, and he knows that if he pleads guilty, it will not only be as simple as being deprived of the title of crown princess and beheaded, but will also implicate his children and natal family.

Before she was convicted, she wrote two suicide notes, one to her eldest daughter for collection, the other to the Ministry of Punishment by her cronies, and Tun Jin died.

Wu Shi still had the title of Crown Princess when she died.

Because of Murong Ming's anger every day in the Eastern Palace, everyone is in danger, now that there is no mistress, it suddenly becomes chaotic.

Less than an hour after Wushi's death, the palace servants sent by Empress Wu to fetch Murong Fengzhen to the Lizheng Palace were still on their way to the East Palace, and Murong Fengzhen died of a strange poison.

Now that the concubine and grandson are dead, the East Palace fell into even greater chaos, Murong Yangxiao was extremely angry, and even the entire palace was panicked.

Officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple with rank five or higher rushed to thoroughly investigate Murong Feng's true poison murder case.

Wang Jieyu sent palace servants out of the palace to bring a message to Ouyang's family. At this time, Ouyang Yue's big wedding cannot be held in a big way, and it is better to keep a low profile.

Murongjuan's sister-in-law and nephew are dead, so she can't go out of the palace to eat wedding wine.

The Ding family, Wang family, Ouyang Yue, Ouyang Teng, Ouyang Jinhua, and Ouyang Jinyu of Ouyang Mansion in Chang'an got up late at night to discuss how to simplify all ceremonies of the big wedding.

In the middle of the night, Ouyang Teng and Ouyang Jinyu rode to Leng's mansion to ask to see Mrs. Leng.

"Recently, the palace has been a bit uneasy. I went to bed early last night, but I didn't sleep well. I got such news an hour ago. How can I sleep well?" Mrs. Leng had a red face and big ears, with thick eyebrows and leopard eyes. , is a burly but agile big fat man.

Ouyang Teng said with emotion: "Such a big incident happened in the East Palace. My mother was afraid that His Majesty would summon my eldest brother, so she didn't let him come over."

Grand Tutor Leng respected the savior Ding Shi very much, and said: "My family doesn't have so many things. It's the same when you come."

Ouyang Teng asked: "My mother asked me to ask you, how can we have no taboos when our family comes to greet the relatives tomorrow?"
