0274 The Son of Heaven

In the room, Shen Zhezi's face was calm, holding a jade Ruyi in his hand, fiddling with the flames swaying in the brazier.

The letter was sent by his father and his third uncle Shen Hong, urging him to see the secret room alone and not to show it to others. As for the contents of the letter, after the initial surprise, Shen Zhezi gradually became dull, and then began to think about how to make adjustments to his many arrangements.

Although he knew that the war was not far away, Shen Zhezi's arrangements were mainly about playing a strait ball around this incident, and he did not intend to get involved in the current situation too early.

On the one hand, his family's background is not enough, and the central part is still weak, and it is not enough to deeply intervene to divide profits. On the other hand, the gap between the north and the south is still a factor that cannot be ignored now. Even though his family has opened up some situations in the overseas Chinese sect, the Qing Xuji overseas Chinese, who is the backbone of the overseas Chinese sect, is still closely united around the Wang family of Langya. It is only because of the restraint of the overseas Chinese sect that the Shen family has not been effectively suppressed.

But in fact, Shen Zhezi was a little unwilling to accept it. If there is no major change in the future, then the Su Jun rebellion is the only opportunity for his family to achieve a substantial leap in the near future. If he cannot make the most of the money, it would be too a pity. In his heart, he actually planned to fight another game.

My father Xinmo strongly urged Shen Zhezi to return home, and Shen Zhezi's earlier thoughts also retreated to Qu'a, and watched the changes in the current situation in the capital and took the opportunity to make profits. But now, his mentality has changed a little. He does not intend to leave the capital, but should stay at the center at the most critical moment and seize an opportunity that is crucial for his family and his long-cherished wish of the Northern Expedition!

Once such a decision is made, many of the previous arrangements will have to be adjusted. He is essentially not a desperate gambler who is ready to take a gamble at any time, especially when there are more and more people and resources he can master and influence, and he always has a bottom line for seeking stability.

But this does not mean that he does not have the courage to be bold and enterprising. He does not believe in the desperate struggle of a man. Instead, he hopes to have a meticulous plan and record a few records before fighting. Even if it can only increase the chance of winning at the first line, these preparations are not useless.

Sitting in the room for a long time, the flames had been extinguished and the ashes had scattered. Shen Zhezi grew up and pushed the door open. He would not have much leisure time in the next period of time.

At this time, in a hall in the backyard of the Princess' Mansion, two little fat men were sitting and looking at each other, one was in the year of age and the other was five or six years old. Although they were not old, their eyes were very cold and there was a faint murderous atmosphere.

"snort……"

The fat little man who was a little older sneered, raised his lips slightly, and a sarcasm opened: "Little Raizi, why haven't you returned to Wuzhong Township yet, and you have to stay at my sister's house?"

Hearing this, the fat fat man on the opposite side was not willing to be outdone. He slapped the table and said rudely: "Big Belly Man, this is clearly my brother's home! My sister-in-law is not your sister!"

"Haha, you might as well go out and see whose mansion is written in the Yimen Gate outside the court!"

The older fat man is the current emperor Sima Yan. He is wearing a child's clothes and has a sense of intellectual superiority when facing the fat man Shen Jin.

"I can't read!"

Shen Jin was not willing to be outdone, so he suddenly stood up and stepped on the small table and patted his knees with his hands, and said with a high tone. However, in this position, he felt the wind was cold under his crotch and he hurriedly put his feet down again, but his expression still did not retreat: "When you come to my house, you always have to taste my delicious snacks. I tell you, no!"

Sima Yan didn't expect that this boy was so angry that he said ignorance so resolutely. He was a little surprised for a moment. He reacted after a while and laughed and said, "I just want to share your food. What can you do? Your sister-in-law is my sister, and your brother is my brother-in-law. No matter how you calculate it, this is not your home. What else do you have to say?"

"You, you...wow... sister-in-law, this big-bellied man bullied me!"

Chen Jin was speechless for a moment, and immediately rushed to the table and howled.

"You talk nonsense, I didn't bully you!"

Seeing this, Sima Yan hurriedly took a few steps back to show his innocence. He hadn't come for many days, and almost forgot that this kid had such a killer move.

As the crying sounded, a gust of wind rushed in outside the door. Recently, Princess Xing quickly swept through the room. Then she pinched her waist with one hand and pointed at the emperor with the other hand and scolded: "Aliu, are you bullying my He'er again?"

"Sister, I really don't! He just couldn't argue with me, so he started crying."

Hearing this, Shen Jin, who was lying on the table, howled even more intensely, and he kicked his calves. Seeing that the princess's expression became more and more unkind, Sima Yan said with a bitter face: "Sister, your uncle is so annoying! I finally came to your house and he would be wronged..."

"No matter how annoying He'er is, can he be even more annoying than when you were a child? You are such a big man, why are you arguing with him?"

Princess Xingnan has a good protection for her uncle. She is still a half-grown girl, so she doesn’t know how to raise her children. She just remembers that since Agu has entrusted her uncle to herself, she must take good care of her. Then, everything is gradually unconditionally on the side of the child.

Hearing this, Sima Yan felt even more unreasonable. At this moment, when he saw the figure walking outside the courtyard, he seemed to have hoped for justice. He rushed to the corridor and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother-in-law, you happened to be here, your little brother was crying and wronging me again! I just want to taste your food, and he insisted on accusing me of bullying him!"

Shen Zhezi had some time to have free time, and he felt a little angry when he heard this shout. If he knew that the emperor was going to come to his house today, he would never come to the inner courtyard. Therefore, he turned around and glared at Yu Bin behind him. Yu Bin smiled embarrassedly. To be honest, he really didn't want to bring his cousin to the princess's house, but he was so annoyed that he couldn't stand it.

Fortunately, after the emperor shouted, the crying sound in the door had stopped. Xiao Shenjin stood at the door with red eyes and said, "Brother, I didn't falsely accused him! This big-bellied man said that this place is not my house, not my house, how could I live here!"

"He'er, this is your home, not his home! Be good, let Mrs. Yunzhi take you to wash your face. Your brother didn't blame you, don't worry."

After a while, it was dinner time. Because Shen Zhezi was at home, neither of these fat men were able to enjoy themselves, so they put a lotus seed soup on their own tables. After eating dinner, when Shen Xingxing went to bed, the emperor looked at Shen Zhezi with excitement and said, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please bring your fat-repellent drum! I haven't played with it for a long time. I'm really itchy!"

"You are very itchy in your skills, I think you are very itchy in your skin! Are you very idle in the garden every day? You have so much time to think about these women's karma every day!"

Princess Xingnan was a little displeased when she heard this. Now there were no outsiders in the restaurant, so she pointed at the emperor and scolded him.

When Yu Bin saw the emperor shut up and dared not to contradict his sister, he couldn't help but sigh. If he had the prestige of a princess in front of his cousin, then he would have been less scolded and scolded by his father in the past these days. Although he had become a secretary, his official position was the emperor's attendant. Whenever the emperor made mistakes, he was the first to be scolded, which was really miserable.

Shen Zhezi was different from his younger brothers when he saw the emperor being scolded by the princess and did not dare to speak, so he frowned and said, "Your Majesty rarely leaves the Yuan to come to my house once. How can you treat it harshly? The young man should combine work and rest. He buried his scriptures all day long without knowing how to rest. Before he could understand, he was ignorant."

"Yes, yes! Sister, I study scriptures hard every day in the garden, practice calligraphy at my desk, and dare not slack off! If you don't believe it, you can ask your cousin! Is it right, cousin?"

When Sima Yan heard Shen Zhezi's words, his eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled Yu Bin to testify to him.

Yu Bin nodded with a wry smile. The atmosphere of his family was very different. In the hall, how could everyone dare to talk and laugh and argue. They were sitting upright, fearing that their eyes were not angry and powerful. In comparison, he preferred the atmosphere of the Shen family. Although there were quarrels, they also had warmth.

While speaking, the servant had already sent a wooden hand-rock drum with multiple linings, which was what the emperor had mentioned before. To put it bluntly, it was actually a degreaser for separating cream. Nowadays, northerners drink butter, which is a big, full-fat creamy and has a strong smell. It is not a good drink for those who are unacceptable to drinking it. Southerners rarely drink this, just as northerners rarely drink tea.

In fact, there is also cream nowadays. The butter paste is left for a period of time, and the fat floats up and naturally solidifies and precipitates a layer. Such milk skin needs to be pounded before it can be turned into cream. It is more troublesome than stirring directly to defat.

Since the emperor tasted the butter steamed cakes sent to the garden by the Shen family, he was shocked and not only liked to eat. After seeing the production process, he sincerely fell in love with this process of making delicious food by himself. It is an incomprehensible fun and hobby. Seeing the rotating drum put on it, he rolled up his sleeves and told people to add milk to the bucket, as if he was skillful. When the person added the milk, he grabbed the rocker and gritted his teeth and threw it wildly.

This process was really a life of strength. Not long after, the emperor stopped panting and took a short rest.

Seeing the emperor sweating profusely, the princess felt a little pity and frowned and said, "I don't know why you love this matter. Can't you leave it to others?"

"Sister, you don't understand! All techniques have their own principles. Turning milk and fat can be easily turned, but in fact, the strength and speed are not bad, and the taste will eventually be different. When the food is eaten into my mouth, I know the taste in my heart. This is private. How can a real foodie be used to make a fake hand on others!"

When Shen Zhezi heard the emperor talking about his theory seriously, he couldn't help but sigh that he really loved each other and had philosophical principles.

So for more than an hour, the hall and room were filled with the sound of the emperor's groaning and grinding. Princess Xingnan couldn't stand this situation and left early. While talking to Yu Bin, Shen Zhezi sat down to see how the emperor, the real gourmet, tried hard to satisfy his appetite.

Yu Bin reposted his father awkwardly. Seeing Shen Zhezi's eyes were calm, he added a little bit of Qi deficiency: "My father's place is different, and his concerns are also different from us. I think Weizhou, you are different in the world. For me, you can be called an example."

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi smiled slightly, but didn't take Yu Liang's words to heart, and instead talked to Yu Bin.

As the night gradually became late, the emperor came to the time to return to the garden. He looked at the small half basin of butter, and a smile of relief appeared on his face covered in sweat, but he was so tired that his arms could not be lifted. Before leaving, he also instructed Shen Zhezi to ask someone to process the butter and send it to the garden later. Perhaps the fruit of his own labor was particularly sweet.
