571. Chapter 568 No one is perfect


"Speaking of which, my grandfather is also true. The Wen family has a big business and cannot do many businesses without touching these. If someone really gets caught and makes irresponsible remarks in front of the father, it will be detrimental to me. My mother and concubine are still One or two reminders, don’t let outsiders My grandfather, uncle and others were too obsessed with money and forgot the most important thing.”

You must know that his position as the prince is the most important thing at the moment, and everything else must step aside. It's really too late to regret.

Concubine Shu understood this truth, but she felt uncomfortable hearing this.

Xiao Luochen is the eldest prince. In theory, he will be the king in the future, and the Wen family will be the ministers, and they should obey them. But from another perspective, Xiao Luochen is the grandson of the Wen family, and he is the junior. The Wen family is his backing and should be respected.

But Xiao Luochen's words were all accusations against the Wen family, without any respect. It was clear that he looked down on the Wen family with all his heart.

You must know that without the Wen family, even if you, Xiao Luochen, were the prince, you would only be reduced to the level of Xiao Luoan, a lackey of others. How could you be like now, with stars over the moon and endless scenery?

And why did the Wen family make money?

The Wen family has a huge business, and the scale of the industry can be said to be beyond Xiao Luochen's imagination. The reason why they want to touch minerals, salt fields, and other industries that should be controlled by the royal family is just for It's just to win over the ministers of the DPRK and China and control the power.

What he did was just so that Xiao Luochen could stand out in the future and successfully win the position of prince. However, according to Xiao Luochen, it turned out that the Wen family fell into the eyes of money.

Concubine Shu felt aggrieved for her natal family and couldn't help but argue, "Your grandfather and uncle also planned for your future..."

Seeing Xiao Luochen's unhappy expression, Concubine Shu quickly changed her tune, "Of course, there is a way to do this. I will tell your grandfather and uncle when I can."

"This is it." ” Xiao Luochen then exhaled and stood up.

"It's getting late. Why don't you stay here and have a meal before leaving?" Concubine Shu persuaded her to stay.

"No, I made an appointment with Meng Jijiu to have tea. It's not advisable to be late." Xiao Luochen explained.

The Imperial College offers wine and is in charge of all affairs of the Imperial College. Mr. Meng is admirable for his erudite knowledge and Confucianism. His second daughter is Xiao Luochen's concubine, and the two have a son-in-law relationship.

Xiao Luochen and Meng Jijiu moved around frequently, both for private and official matters.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu no longer wanted to keep him, and only asked someone to send him out.

Watching her retreating back, Concubine Shu sighed.

Xiao Luochen has a bad temper and lacks wisdom in many cases. Although she has given birth to three children since entering the palace, only Xiao Luochen, the prince, was sent to the palace by the Wen family to assist her. The two young ladies of the Wen family were both unsatisfied, so the only person the Wen family could count on was Xiao Luochen, and they had no other choice.

But then again, although Xiao Luochen lacks ability, he still has no ambition, and he also has ambition and courage, which can be regarded as making up for it a little.

This person is not perfect, so we can’t be too harsh on him.

Moreover, as long as Xiao Luochen can become the crown prince and the emperor in the future, the next generation of little girls in the Wen family will all grow up. When the time comes, a few more will be chosen to enter the palace. I don’t believe it will happen. A few satisfactory ones came out.

Concubine Shu thought so and felt much more comfortable. She just served the meal and sent someone to the Chongyang Palace to ask the emperor if he would like to come to have a meal.

After learning that the emperor was not free to come for lunch, but would come over in the evening, Concubine Shu was filled with joy and hurriedly sent people to prepare and get busy.

The autumn air is crisp, and after several days of good weather, it rained.

The rain wasn't heavy, just as fine as an ox's hair. If you went out for a long time, you didn't even need to use an umbrella. But it rained all day, and by the second day, there was still no sign of clearing up. The rain is not heavy and does not affect daily work, but it affects Xia Mingyue here.

Looking at the good weather, she wanted to dry some dried fruits, so that in autumn and winter, she could put these dried fruits in a pot and boil a pot of water to drink. It feels like fruit tea, delicious and healthy.

However, it was rainy and the dried fruits were not dried and were very prone to mold. Xia Mingyue simply put some effort into putting the dried fruits in the oven, using the high temperature of the oven to completely evaporate the moisture.

The dried fruits are cut into not too thick slices, sun-dried for half a day, and dried in the shade for a day. At this time, they are baked for a full hour, which is enough to completely dry the fruits.

The roasted dried fruits can be eaten directly as snacks, or you can mix them with rock sugar and make fruit tea. It is very comfortable to have a pot in such rainy weather.

Especially when making fruit tea, a small charcoal stove is used. When the water in the teapot boils, the steam comes out with a hint of sweetness. When the steam rises upward, the lid of the teapot hits the teapot and emits a slight sound. The "bitter" sound combined with the gurgling sound of the tea bubbling formed an extremely beautiful symphony.

In such an atmosphere, Xia Mingyue felt a little empty in her stomach for no reason.

It's not hunger, it's the feeling of feeling a little lonely in your stomach and wanting to eat something casually. To be precise, it should be called greedy.

Yes, Xia Mingyue is a little greedy and wants to eat something to go with tea to pass the rainy afternoon.

But the refreshments at home, such as egg crisps with peanuts, mini peach cakes, millet rice crisps, five-spice dried meat, etc., are really boring to eat.

It’s time to make some new snacks or snacks to eat!

Xia Mingyue had this idea in her mind, but she was also confused for a while. She didn't know what to do. She just put her hands on her chin and stood in a daze.

"What are you worried about, madam?" Yinqiao entered the room and saw Xia Mingyue like this, and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just thinking about what to do." Xia Mingyue replied.

Yinqiao didn't know that Xia Mingyue was worrying about making snacks and snacks. She just thought she was worrying about what to eat at night. She grinned and said, "Manager Fu asked someone to bring a basket of river shrimps. The maid saw that they are big and have a lot of meat, so why not Do you want to make some dry-fried river prawns for dinner? ”

Dry-fried river prawns are crispy and delicious, and the more you chew, the more fragrant they become. Fried on a plate and eaten with porridge at night, it’s very good. eat.

"Okay." Xia Mingyue nodded, and then a light suddenly flashed across his head.

Shrimp, fried shrimp...

Fried shrimp chips!

Yes, the fried shrimp chips are extremely crispy and full of shrimp flavor in one bite. They are perfect as a daily snack!

The more Xia Mingyue thought about it, the aroma of shrimp crackers filled her mind. She didn't even want to wait for a moment longer, so she just started busy.

The first step is to peel the shrimp meat.

Autumn is the season when river prawns are plump. Although they are not as meaty as sea prawns, they are still plenty. (End of this chapter)
