Li Er was very happy to receive the Disciple Rules and the Three-Character Classic today. When he thought of marrying his eldest daughter to Yan Jue, Li Er took it out and discussed it with his eldest grandson.
Zhangsun nodded and said," That's good. Liyuan is a beautiful girl. She's more than enough to be a marquis of the Tang Empire. Moreover, they're about the same age. Although Liyuan is in the palace, she has extensive knowledge. They're a good match. It's just that…Your Majesty, Liyuan hasn't been conferred yet, so I'm afraid she's not quite suitable."”
Li Er nodded and said," I think so too. Although the mother is not noble, she is still my first child and my eldest daughter. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will make her the Eldest Princess. How about Princess Xiangcheng?"”
"It's up to Your Majesty."
………………
It had been almost a month since he came to the Great Tang. The reason why Yan Jue couldn't wait to come to his own residence was because he wanted to have a good meal. The food he had eaten these days was like chewing wax, tasteless.
The Langya Marquis 'Residence was located in Xinghua Square, which was close to the Imperial Palace. It was in the central area of Chang' an. Xi City was less than three miles away. However, ordinary nobles would not easily set foot in Xi City. It was a vegetable market for civilians.
Nobles usually went to the East City for shopping. Even if the East City was far away from the Spirit Mountain, these arrogant nobles would not set foot in the West City for fear of losing their status.
The Yan Mansion was written in black, and two stone lions as tall as a man looked mighty and domineering. A silver halberd was stuck in the courtyard. This was the place where a Marquis Wu should live, and this was the honor that a Marquis Wu should have.
After entering the house, they saw a huge courtyard that could be used as a football field. There were carved beams and painted buildings in front of them. The rosewood pillars supported the sky. The backyard was bigger than the f * cking front yard. Just this stockade was bigger than ten foot massage clubs combined.
Yan Jue stood at the door and did not move forward. He looked up at the plaque and nodded."It's truly magnificent. The only bad thing is that it's too close to the palace.”
"Lord Marquis, isn't it good to be close to the Imperial Palace?" Ding Peng asked in confusion. How convenient will it be to enter and leave the palace in the future?"
"What do you know? Go and gather the servants in the residence. This Marquis wants to lecture them.”The Langya County Marquis strode forward, only missing a small teapot in his hand.
Yan Jue's eyes lit up at the thought of teapots. He would go to the official kiln to make a few teapots for tea later. It would be best if they could make a purple clay teapot.
Upon hearing that Lord Marquis had returned to the manor, the servants moved as quickly as they could. More than eighty people appeared in front of the hall's main door, waiting for Lord Marquis to lecture them.
"Have you heard? Our Lord Marquis is a general, and his attacks are very ruthless.”
"Yeah, I heard that in Iron Mountain, he single-handedly wiped out a team of five thousand people.”
"It's said that our Lord Marquis has a green face and sharp fangs. He uses a chain hammer weighing eight hundred jin and kills a large number of people with a single strike.”
"You…don't say anymore, I'm scared.”
"My legs and stomach are trembling.”
"Shh, lower your voice. Lord Marquis is here.”
It was a legend that Yan Jue had a green face, fangs, and a face like a sick ghost. However, when Yan Jue appeared, everyone was greatly disappointed. It turned out that he was just a youth.
Yan Jue stood at the porch of the hall and said,""I'm the Marquis of Langya County, and I'll be the master of this place in the future. There might be a new master in the near future. As long as you do your job well, I won't care about you. You guys stand separately, guard on one side, cook on the other, accountant on the other, and handyman on the other.”
There were twenty guards, ten cooks, one accountant, thirty female servants, and twenty other handymen, making a total of eighty-one people.
He patted Ding Peng's chest with the back of his hand and said,"From now on, he will be the chief guard of the family, in charge of the marquis 'residence's safety. Ding Peng, from now on, train them ruthlessly and teach them what Ding Yanping taught you.”
Ding Peng unconsciously grinned hideously, which made the 20 young men shudder. The nickname of Demon Ding had spread all over Chang 'an.
"The other stewards, step forward and introduce yourselves.”
The accountant was a Confucian scholar in his late thirties. He looked scholarly and said,"Replying to Lord Marquis, this lowly one is called Gao Shou, the accountant of the Lord Manor.”
Hearing the name, Yan Jue was amused and asked,""Expert? How high?"
"Replying to Lord Marquis, the hand is not the palm, but the first.”
Yan Jue turned around and said,"When he doesn't care about the accounts, train him to be a real leader."”
Gao Shou was in a miserable state. I'm just an accountant, but I have to accept such an unfair treaty?
After getting to know a few of the leaders of the marquis 'manor, Yan Jue said,"Head Gao, ask the handymen to go out and buy some dried orange peel, aniseed, Cassia bark, and tsaoko. As many as you have. Today, I will personally teach these cooks how to cook, and at the same time, buy some necessities for lunch.”
What? Lord Marquis wanted to cook personally? The few cooks were scared out of their wits and hurriedly begged for mercy. They strongly requested to recommend themselves and let Yan Jue eat their cooking first before talking about anything else.
Yan Jue would eat it? No matter who made it, it would be tasteless without seasoning. The above-mentioned ingredients, such as grass, fruit, laurel, aniseed, etc., had not been used in the food and beverage industry. In Tang, they were used as medicinal herbs.
He sent someone to buy these things and drew a few blueprints. He asked the servant to take the Marquis's order to the cave to make some clay pots and other things. Of course, the teapot was indispensable.
Thinking of the teapot, Yan Jue thought of the tea tree he found near the Ba River before he entered the city yesterday. He had to get the tea tree back.
The tea leaves had only been dried in the sun and boiled with onions, ginger, and garlic. Stir-fried tea had yet to appear. In order to eat and die comfortably, if he worked hard now, he would be blessed in the future.
After working for half the morning, Yan Jue asked the servant to inform the Yan family that they would not be back for lunch. Yan Jue then began to teach the five cooks how to cook, such as how to use dried orange peel and how to put aniseed. The wild pepper brought back from Iron Mountain was fried dry, emitting an intoxicating numbing smell.
The head chef was shocked. He used a small notebook to write down the cooking methods of dozens of dishes. When he looked out, he saw that the dozen servants in charge of tasting the dishes really could not eat anymore. Alright, he changed to another batch and continued.
When the pepper came out, the cook said awkwardly,"Lord Marquis, this thing is so numb. Will you become mute if you eat too much?”
F * ck! The chef who had been flicked in the head did not dare to say a word. He obediently recorded the delicacies. Other than shock, he was still shocked.
It was already noon when Yan Jue walked out of the kitchen. At this moment, the steward of the Marquis's Manor rushed over and said,"Lord Marquis, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Yan Jue frowned. Why would the Crown Prince come to Langya Marquis Manor? When the butler came to the door, a young boy of twelve or thirteen years old wearing a jade crown and a silver dragon crown prince robe entered Langya Marquis Manor with a group of guards.
He held a Royal Board in his hand, and there were two youths around the age of fourteen or fifteen following him. Moreover, they were both handsome and talented.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Yan Jue bowed slightly." I didn't know that Your Highness the Crown Prince had come to my humble abode. I have not welcomed you. Please forgive me."”
Li Chengqian finally saw this peerless fierce person who single-handedly stabbed through 500 people. He was not just excited.
