Chapter 13 Disgraceful waste
Chapter 13 Disgraceful waste
In the imperial dining room, Qin Chuyu looked at the three pots, and someone helped to light the fire. Emperor Wu Xuan was watching from the side, and the person in charge of the fire almost burned his hand.He didn't know why things turned out like this, anyway, he was in the kitchen after recovering.
"Be careful not to make the egg custard too old. You can smoke firewood when you count to thirty. Don't take it out. It will taste delicious after a while."
Qin Chuyu directed the person who lit the fire, and then he took the eggplant fried duck out of the pot, and then used the leftovers to fry a pot of fried rice with eggs, two big bowls, all working together.
Emperor Wuxuan's stomach growled with the scent, if he didn't think that he was still an emperor, he might have rushed over.
"Your Majesty, come and eat." Qin Chuyu handed a bowl of fried rice with eggs to Emperor Wu Xuan, took a bowl and ate it himself, it was so fragrant that he burst into tears, it was still delicious fried by himself.
Emperor Wu Xuan just sat on the threshold and ate when he saw someone. He blinked, and sat beside him, imitating Qin Chuyu, scooped up a spoonful and blew it down.He finally knew how Qin Chuyu's ecstasy expression came from. It was not just delicious, but very delicious!
"My craftsmanship is not bad, right?" Qin Chuyu touched Emperor Wu Xuan with his elbow.
"Yeah, good." Emperor Wu Xuan was busy eating and didn't have time to talk to him.
Fried duck with eggplant and a large bowl of egg custard were placed on the small wooden table brought over, and the two of them ate quickly.
Emperor Wuxuan looked at Qin Chuyu who was robbing him of food, he was very surprised. Didn't he know that he was the emperor? !
Qin Chuyu was puzzled while eating the fried duck, "What's the matter? Broken teeth?"
Emperor Wuxuan: "..." Well, for the sake of delicious food, he doesn't care about it.
After the two happily finished their meal, Qin Chuyu took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Your Majesty, you see, you don't need so many precious ingredients to eat deliciously. My family's meal only costs three taels of silver now, and the whole family is happy. It used to be at least 20 taels, which is too wasteful."
Emperor Wu Xuan, who was a member of the waste, blushed: "..."
"It's shameful to waste. How many people still can't afford to eat. What does my father say about face, face is more important than eating well? He also told me seriously that our family is not the most wasteful. My master said, we must know how to save money Food can be cooked." Qin Chuyu cleaned up the last bit of egg custard in the bowl.
The most wasteful Emperor Wuxuan: "..."
"Uncle... Uh, my lord, get up as soon as you finish eating, and ask if you have anything else to ask. After asking, I'll go home and sleep. I'm dizzy after the exam for a long time, and I haven't rested for a while yet."
To be honest, after Emperor Wuxuan sat down next to him to eat, Qin Chuyu really couldn't think of him as the emperor, the emperor is also an ordinary person.
"Okay, I just want to ask you, do you want the first name?" Emperor Wu Xuan didn't call himself Zhen anymore. He could tell that Qin Chuyu just regarded him as an ordinary elder. And no one else.
After Emperor Wuxuan sat down on the threshold, all the people disappeared. If someone saw such a disrespectful appearance, would that person still be alive?
"Of course I want the first name, but I will get married in a few days, and my moral character is not very good. There must be many people who are not satisfied with the ranking. The Holy One should choose someone who can do practical things. I will go to the scholar's pavilion to stay. It's good .” Qin Chuyu is still very self-aware.
Emperor Wu Xuan looked at him appreciatively, "Then what reward do you want?"
"Is there a reward?" Qin Chuyu was shocked.
"Yeah, we can't ask you for the waterwheel, so tell me, what do you want?"
Qin Chuyu smiled brightly, "Just give me some more money. The Holy One also knows that I used to spend almost all of my family money, and it was all supported by my second sister. In the past two years, my second sister has married again, and I will continue to subsidize my mother's family like this." No matter how reasonable the husband's family is, it will be a little uncomfortable. If the Holy Majesty gives money, it will be the best reward."
"Haha, you are thinking clearly. I thought you would say that I would send you to the Bachelor's Pavilion, and work hard for the exam at the end of the year." Emperor Wu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said.
Qin Chuyu looked at the back of the person to understand what it meant. The Bachelor's Pavilion had to take the exam again. After the autumn exam, there was only a place for the exam.
The place of this conversation is not the imperial study room, but the small study room next door, where they sit facing each other and play backgammon.
Qin Chuyu didn't understand Go, and Emperor Wuxuan wanted to play Go, so he could only play backgammon.
"Your Majesty, I didn't say that you have lost twice. You don't love children that much, do you?" Qin Chuyu said that winning was very stress-free.
Emperor Wu Xuan: "..." I really want to kill him.
"By the way, how do you deal with the floods in the south? These two days have given me a headache. There are floods every year. Didn't you read so many books and talk about it." Emperor Wu Xuan also said this casually, distracting people attention, so that I can win a round.
Qin Chuyu made a move and collected five chess pieces, "What do you do every year?"
"To build dams, allocate a large sum of money to go down and repair them every year."
After listening to Qin Chuyu, he laughed, "It's better to be blocked than to be sparse, hey... Your Majesty, you can't regret your moves."
Emperor Wu Xuan paused when he took the chess, "What did you just say?"
"I said you can't regret the chess!" Qin Chuyu went to grab his chess.
Emperor Wu Xuan: "..."
After giving him the chess, Emperor Wu Xuan said: "It's not this sentence."
"Ah? Blocking is worse than dredging? Well, the flood is a natural disaster. What's the use of building dams? Dig the channel and let the water flow into other rivers before heading to the sea." Qin Chuyu, who had passed the geography exam, said cheerfully: "Keep going."
Emperor Wuxuan was silent for a while, and seeing that most of the chess pieces were gone, he decided not to play any more, "I won't come, you go home, I will go to work."
"Hey... don't bring such a thing." Qin Chuyu resented very much.
Emperor Wuxuan said rascally: "That's it."
Qin Chuyu pouted, "Okay then, you work, I'll go home and sleep."
Emperor Wu Xuan nodded and asked someone to prepare the sedan chair.
It was late at night, and the Anlehou Mansion was still brightly lit. Although he didn't know if he would come back or not, he still had to wait and couldn't sleep.
After Qin Chuyu came back, he saw the bright surroundings, he smiled and said: "Father, mother, I'm back."
"Yu'er!"
As soon as they shouted, two people came out, followed by Qin Mei and Qin E, and the four people in the back were relieved when they saw that everyone was fine.When the chief executive came, they thought something had happened, but they couldn't come back for dinner.They didn't say they couldn't come back later, so they had to wait.
"Why didn't you sleep?" Qin Chuyu yawned, he was very tired today.
"Where can we sleep? What does the Holy Majesty want from you?" Mrs. Hou patted his arm. How big-hearted must this man be?still sleeping...
"Well, it's nothing. They asked me how I wrote the essays for the exam so well. I also asked if I wanted to be the first name. I refused and said that I wanted some money. The Holy One agreed. I'm so sleepy... If you don't sleep, I will sleep It's gone." Qin Chuyu squinted his eyes as if his body had been hollowed out.
A few people had no choice but to give up, in short, it's fine.
