Adorable Food Goddess

Early in the morning, Zhao Qixuan was soundly asleep when he was rudely shaken awake.

"Get up." He Lianjing knew that Zhao Qixuan had a habit of sleeping naked and sleeping, so he didn't dare to lift his quilt this time.

Zhao Qixuan muttered: "It's so noisy, don't disturb my father's sleep, my father is going to sleep."

Turn over and continue to sleep.

He Lianjing leaned close to his ear and shouted loudly: "It's water..."

Zhao Qixuan sat up with a whimper, and said nervously, "Where is the water?"

He Lianjing patted his chest: "It's gone."

Zhao Qixuan saw that it was Xiaojing who was playing tricks on him, and said angrily: "Xiaojing, why are you running around me so early in the morning?"

Lying down and going to sleep again, He Lianjing pulled him up: "I didn't sleep all night, just waiting for the dawn, Lao Zhao, you have to help me this time, or I will die."

Zhao Qixuan listened to what he said seriously and cheered up.

"What's wrong? Did you get into trouble?"

"No, I want to ask you to borrow money."

Zhao Qixuan clicked his tongue: "See you! How much do you want?"

"Five hundred thousand taels."

Zhao Qixuan's drowsiness was immediately frightened away, and he said in surprise, "I heard that right? You want half a million?"

He Lianjing nodded solemnly: "500,000 taels, after much deliberation, you are the richest person among the people I know."

Zhao Qixuan said in his heart, even if I have money, I can't afford to talk like a lion like you!

"Why use it?" The number was too large, Zhao Qixuan had to ask one more question.

"I want to help Li Yao terminate the contract."

Zhao Qixuan froze for a moment, frowned and said, "You're looking for me early in the morning, aren't you?"

"I'm serious. The heavenly house has changed hands. Li Yao is very unhappy with what he is doing now. I have to help him."

Zhao Qixuan was taken aback again: "The house in the sky changed hands? Why didn't I know."

"What else do you know? You only have Susu in your mind now, and you won't come out and walk around."

Zhao Qixuan took a middle coat and put it on: "Tell me quickly, what's going on? Who is so generous that they bought Tianshangju?"

The current Tianshangju is like a cornucopia, and the price is definitely not cheap.

He Lianjing thought of his elder brother's warning not to spread it everywhere, and said, "I don't know who it is, anyway Li Yao doesn't want to do it."

"You mean, it takes five hundred thousand taels of silver to terminate the contract?"

"More than that, it costs 600,000 taels, and I still have a hundred thousand or so."

Zhao Qixuan gasped, looked at Xiao Jing with a complicated expression, and said, "Xiao Jing, you are serious, you fell in."

He Lianjing blushed: "Are you serious or not, Li Yao is my friend, shouldn't you help a friend?"

"There's no way to help a friend, six hundred thousand taels, you say help without blinking an eye?" Zhao Qixuan snorted.

He Lianjing: "Old Zhao, you have to think about it. If it weren't for Li Yao, you and Susu wouldn't know when you would be together! She did you such a big favor, and now she is in trouble, won't you help?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't help, but I just felt that the price was outrageously high. If another chef terminated the contract, it would cost 8,000 yuan, but Li Yao would have to pay 600,000 yuan to terminate the contract? Are you kidding me? That black-hearted ghost is crazy about money, right? Tell me, and I'll settle him."

"How can those people compare with Li Yao? Li Yao is priceless. If it weren't for Li Yao, the business of Tianshangju would be so prosperous? It is not an exaggeration to say that Tianshangju was supported by Li Yao. Anyway, don't ask who it is. I can't tell this person, and you can't do anything about it. Anyway, they want this price now, and I will slowly find a way to pay you back." He Lianjing said.

Zhao Qixuan teased, "Hearing what you said, it seems that you are quite proud of Li Yao when they offer this price."

"That's right, it will scare people to death if you say it." He Lianjing said proudly.

Zhao Qixuan was depressed: "Forget it, forget it, I can't tell you."

"Just say whether to borrow it or not. If you don't borrow it, I will tell Susu, and we will work together to plot against him." He Lianjing threatened.

Zhao Qixuan almost suffocated, doesn't this kill him?

"I didn't say I wouldn't borrow it. When will I ask for the five hundred thousand taels?"

This kid was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He has never been short of money and has never done business. He doesn't know what 600,000 taels is and how many people he can support.

As for Li Yao, he was really grateful to him. If Li Yao hadn't been resourceful, he and Susu wouldn't know how long it would take. Five hundred thousand taels is considered to be a favor to Li Yao. Compared with Susu, money and other things are dung in his eyes, and there is nothing he can't bear.

"Really? Old Zhao, you are loyal enough. I will remember your affection. The sooner the money, the better." He Lianjing was overjoyed.

Zhao Qixuan thought for a while: "Susu and I just invested a sum of money recently, and we don't have that much cash on hand. We have to wait a few days, seven days, okay?"

"Success, as long as you have money." He Lianjing smiled. Compared with three years, seven days is a trivial matter.

Zhao Qixuan shook his head and smiled: "Look at how stupid you are, okay, I'll help with this, I hope you can put in 600,000 taels so that you can take this God of Wealth home."

The blush that He Lianjing had just receded climbed up his cheeks again: "Nonsense, I don't bother to talk to you, you go on sleeping, I'm going to the Ministry of War."

After breakfast, the old Marquis of Jing'an, Xia Zhuofeng, brought his second son, Xia Chunyu, into the palace to face the saint.

The emperor received him cordially.

"Aiqing has been guarding the border for many years, keeping one side peaceful, and has made great achievements for her hard work. I am very grateful."

Xia Zhuofeng hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "It is the duty of a humble official to protect the family and the country, and I dare not betray the emperor's kindness!"

Jun Chenhan said a few polite words, and the topic brought up Xia Chunyu's marriage. The emperor also knew that Lord Hou was coming back, so he waited until now to speak.

"It's been so many years. The children left by the Seventh Prince are all sixteen. The Empress Dowager has been asking me to choose a good husband-in-law for Liuli. After looking around, Chunyu is the most suitable son-in-law of the Manchu dynasty. What does Aiqing think?"

Xia Zhuofeng has not been in the capital for many years, so he doesn't know much about Liuli's temperament, but he knows that the Queen Mother loves Liuli very much. Back then he had a very close friendship with the Seventh Prince, but it was a pity that the Seventh Prince left early, and this marriage was in line with his wishes.

"According to the Empress Dowager, if this marriage is completed, Chunyu will be enfeoffed as a king with a different surname, and he will inherit the fiefdom of the Seventh Prince. Aiqing's title can be inherited by another son." Before Xia Zhuofeng could reply, the emperor threw out another tempting condition.

Then there is nothing to hesitate, the emperor's kindness is so powerful, it is almost piercing the sky.

Xia Zhuofeng was about to agree, but he didn't want Chunyu who was behind him to take a step forward and kowtow on his knees.

Xia Zhuofeng thought, this bastard is more anxious than him! That's right, Boss Chunyu is not young anymore, it's time to get married long ago. But what Chunyu said next made him almost pee in fear.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En, but this marriage is something I cannot agree to."

Xia Chunyu was neither humble nor overbearing, and his answer was very straightforward.

The emperor's face changed slightly, unexpectedly, Chunyu would refuse such a huge profit without hesitation, he had the guts to refuse.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about? Marriage matters, it's your turn to make the decision. The emperor appreciates you so he is willing to promise you Princess Liuli. This is a heaven-sent marriage. No one else can ask for it. Go away." Xia Zhuofeng didn't wait for the emperor to blame him, and scolded his son first.

Xia Chunyu raised his head, straightened his waist, and said in a vibrating voice, "Forgive me for not following orders."

If it wasn't for the fear of being disrespectful in front of the hall, Xia Zhuofeng would have kicked him over, you bastard, are you trying to rebel?

"Your Majesty, I have no way to teach my son, please forgive my sin." Xia Zhuofeng panicked, really broke out in a sweat, his son is ignorant, so I had to come to confess my crime, and said to myself, go back and see if I won't beat you to death.

The emperor laughed: "Aiqing, please get up, I just like Chunyu's straightforward temperament."

"Chunyu, get up and talk too." The emperor said kindly.

"I also know that Liuli is a bit arrogant and has a childlike heart. When she becomes a wife and mother, she will naturally be sensible."

"That's right, Gouzi is not much better, and it's all because of me being away all year round and not being disciplined." Xia Zhuofeng wiped off his cold sweat.

"Young people, you have a bit of a temper. It's normal to be impulsive. Just figure it out." The emperor said calmly.

Chun was favored by everyone, as long as he nodded, the emperor would not blame him.

Xia Chunyu said seriously: "Back to the emperor, I really can't agree. If I agree, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Now the emperor is really a little annoyed, why can't it make any sense? Once the golden mouth is opened, it is the imperial decree, and resisting the decree is a death penalty.

"Brat, do you dare to say one more thing?" Xia Zhuofeng was about to die of anger.

The emperor still suppressed his anger and asked Chunyu, "How do you say that?"

Xia Chunyu said without changing his face: "Qi Emperor, I have already married in Heifenggang, and that woman is also a girl from a good family. She was taken up the mountain by the second leader. At that time, the situation forced me to marry. Although I was in a hurry, I also worshiped heaven and earth."

The emperor was surprised: "Why have you never heard of this matter before?"

Xia Chunyu said dejectedly: "It was she who discovered the secret way of the cottage. In order to report to Weichen and prevent Bai Chongye from escaping, she was held hostage by the second leader. In order not to drag Weichen, she jumped off the cliff and fell into Yanxia Lake. I left a few days ago..."

Speaking of sadness, Xia cChun choked up.

The emperor and Xia Zhuofeng both sighed and sighed when they heard the words, this woman is so loyal and benevolent, it can be sung.

"Then you didn't continue to search?" Xia Zhuofeng asked.

"I have been looking for her, hoping to continue the relationship. She is in trouble because of this minister. If I abandon her and marry another, I will become an unfaithful person. Therefore, I cannot accept the emperor's grace. Please learn from the emperor." Xia Chunyu said sincerely.

The emperor pondered, "Who is this girl's last name?"

If Chunshi lied to him, he would never forgive him.

Xia Chunyu cupped his hands and said, "She is the eldest daughter of Ye Binghuai, Tong Zhi of Yangzhou, named Ye Jinxuan."
