Chapter 588 My little brother finally managed to get his mouth shut.
Just as Yang Shaofeng was secretly feeling a headache coming on, Zhu Biao suddenly chuckled twice and said, "Brother-in-law, can you lend me Chen Mo for a while?"
Yang Shaofeng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why does it feel like Zhu Biao took out a map, opened the map, and then pulled out a dagger?
Eh?
I go!
Zhu Biao's map today is really long!
Once he came to his senses, Yang Shaofeng refused without hesitation: "Chen Mo won't do. Ningyang County wants to add township-level government offices between the county and villages, and Chen Mo will have to help with these matters."
"Besides, it's not like the officials from Jiangnan who came up through the imperial examinations are unusable."
"Why must Your Highness keep focusing on Chen Mo?"
Zhu Biao didn't take it to heart, chuckled twice more, and said, "We can't count on the students from Ningyang County, and you're reluctant to part with Chen Mo, so how about we transfer a few clerks from Ningyang County?"
"And those deputy county magistrates, they also each have two underlings."
"I finally managed to ask for something, brother-in-law, how can you let me go empty-handed?"
This time, it was Yang Shaofeng's turn to completely lose his composure.
No.
What terrible sins have I committed to deserve such a brother-in-law?
As it turns out, Zhu Biao is like a glutinous rice ball with black sesame filling, white and round on the outside, but black and colorful on the inside.
Just to transfer a few people from Ningyang County, this guy not only used the demolition effect, but also tried to play the emotional card!
So he's been using all his cunning on his brother-in-law, me?
Yang Shaofeng said with a dark face, "One deputy magistrate and two clerks, that's no more than that."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "I finally managed to ask for help, and you, as my brother-in-law, only offer two clerks? No way, two clerks are absolutely not enough, there must be one for each department!"
Yang Shaofeng glanced at Zhu Biao, smacked his lips, and said, "Having a clerk for each department isn't impossible, but what about Miss Liu's matter?"
Zhu Biao immediately patted his chest and agreed, "Leave it to me!"
Compared to a deputy county magistrate and a clerk in each household, what is gossiping about one's own father?
It's just making up a few lines. The first time you do something like this, you're terrified, but after doing it a few times, you don't feel anything anymore.
Confucius said thousands of years ago, "Accept a small beating, but walk away from a big one."
At worst, we can remake his story after the New Year, and once that's done, we can just run away to Dengzhou Prefecture.
Having made up his mind, Zhu Biao leaned back in the recliner in a relaxed position and asked, "When I arrived just now, it seemed like my brother-in-law was having the cook prepare food?"
Yang Shaofeng immediately perked up: "Your Highness is right, I am having the cook make authentic Ningyang roast duck."
Zhu Biao was slightly taken aback.
Authentic Ningyang roast duck?
No.
Ningyang County was so poor that it didn't even have many ducks, so where would it get authentic roast duck?
The capital city does have salted duck and oven-roasted duck, but the question is, when did oven-roasted duck come under the jurisdiction of Ningyang County?
Or is he planning to steal the fame of Peking duck again?
Zhu Biao tentatively asked, "What kind of cooking method is this roast duck that my brother-in-law mentioned?"
Yang Shaofeng said, "Of course, it's crispy duck roasted in a closed oven."
"By the way, Your Highness, when you return to the palace later, I was thinking of taking a few with you. Please have Your Highness present two of them to my father-in-law and mother-in-law on my behalf."
"Your Highness can decide how to distribute the rest."
Anyway, with so many people in the palace, there must be some who like to eat roast duck.
Especially Old Deng.
As long as he eats it, it's considered authentic Ningyang roast duck, even the emperor would praise it.
Oh, and duck blood and vermicelli soup could also be included.
Authentic Ningyang duck blood vermicelli soup?
Unfortunately, there were no sweet potatoes, so I couldn't make sweet potato noodles. I had to make do with mung bean noodles.
……
Just as Yang Shaofeng was pondering how to take advantage of Emperor Zhu to seize more titles of authentic local snacks, Emperor Zhu was explaining to Empress Ma with a worried expression.
"We really don't know anything about Miss Liu Si."
"Girl, don't you know me? When I was little, I was a cowherd. Later, my godmother asked someone to send me to Huangjue Temple to become a monk."
"Moreover, the entire Huiyi Marquis clan does not have a fourth young lady."
"We really don't know who made this up."
Empress Ma gave a soft snort and retorted, "You really don't know who made this up?"
Emperor Zhu said with a bitter face, "We really don't know! If we did, we'd skin them alive!"
Empress Ma glanced at Emperor Zhu and said, "Then let me tell you, those two girls, Jin'er and Yu'er, just went back."
Emperor Zhu stared blankly at Empress Ma and asked, "That scoundrel again?"
Empress Ma nodded, "Yes, it was your good son-in-law who made it up."
Emperor Zhu was completely stunned.
No.
Although we had a feeling it might be related to him, can someone tell us why he's making up stories about us when we're all doing this? We didn't do anything to him, we didn't provoke him, we didn't even say anything harsh to him.
Enough support?
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up abruptly and roared, "That scoundrel! How can he speak ill of his own father-in-law like that? And I am the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty! This is slander against the Emperor! How dare he slander me!"
Empress Ma rolled her eyes and continued, "Besides your good son-in-law, your good eldest son was also involved."
"And this time they're not just targeting you."
“Tiande, Boren, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, they arranged them one by one.”
"Tiande's family had his eldest daughter keep an eye on him and forbid him from eating roast goose."
"Bo Ren's family arranged for Bo Ren and Lan Yu to go to the pleasure boat, which led Sheng Ge'er and Mao Ge'er astray."
“Those two brats, Jin’er and Yu’er, even specifically mentioned the second and third sons, asking about their marriage prospects.”
"..."
Empress Ma sighed and said, "They say that once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled from a cup, and that's certainly true."
"My two daughters, who used to be so loving, have turned out like this."
Emperor Zhu had become completely numb.
Destroy it.
tired.
They didn't spare a single one of the court's civil and military officials?
Especially Bo Ren and Lan Yu, they're really trying to screw them over!
Eh?
Should we invite Bo Ren and Lan Yu to the palace for dinner tonight?
Or should we just wait to eat at their feast?
Emperor Zhu shook his head slightly, clearing these chaotic thoughts from his mind, and frowned, saying, "What are those two scoundrels planning to do?"
But upon further reflection, Emperor Zhu's anger surged once again.
"No, it's one thing for them to make fun of Li Shanchang and Xu Da, but why are they making fun of us?"
"Those two bastards!"
"We're really unlucky to have a son and a son-in-law like these!"
Empress Ma snorted coldly and said, "If there's a father-in-law who steals his son-in-law's tea, then there's naturally a son-in-law who slanders his father-in-law."
"As for our Biao'er, he was just used as a scapegoat, so we can't blame him."
