242 Roots

With two eyes and one mouth, the Ziyang Clan, the division of the king, looks no different from ordinary people, there are no horns on their heads, no wings on their backs, they also walk upright, and their eyes are straight when they see beautiful girls.

It's not as good as the Qilin team that has the spirit of a king.

What a disillusionment, everyone thought to themselves.

After all the teams arrived, Xiao Chen and his father took a group of officials in charge of comprehensive martial arts to the platform, inspected everyone's spirit, and then made a speech, mainly for mobilization, in response to the defeat that the Celestial Dynasty had just fought, to appease the people, and to encourage everyone not to suffer from "this trivial matter" The more times like this, the more we must show the majesty of the new generation of the Celestial Dynasty on the comprehensive martial arts field, which is an alternative display of military strength, and at this time we must play beautiful games one after another, enhance the confidence of the Chinese people, and establish a strong and profound image of the Celestial Empire.

Finally, I would like to reiterate the rules and discipline of the competition, and wish everyone a good result in the first round tomorrow, and then end the meeting.

"Team Kong, I heard that you defected to Yushu and switched to Wu Hongyi's arms?"

"Get out!" Kong Huiqiao angrily.

"What are you ashamed of! We all know that a few days ago, Deputy Tian saw the two of you drinking wine upstairs in Chunjiang Huayue, which is called a love affair and a very happy conversation!"

"Egg!" Tian Shen put his coffin face on the sky that day, and relied on the goods of the cool and flirtatious girl, so why did he have the heart to gossip about others?!! When did Lao Tzu have a very happy conversation with the surnamed Wu?!

"It's a mess. Mu Yu, the captain of the Qilin team, corrected his teammates' statements.

"Get out!"

"Captain, Team Kong told you to get out, how about it? As soon as you said a word, the brothers immediately went up and flattened the girl!"

"Those stinky and shameless people in Jinxiu actually got a girl into the team!"

"Captain, why don't we have a girl on the team! Even if you don't play, it's good to watch it in the team every day!"

In the commotion, they dispersed, Yan Qi was just in time for the meal when he arrived home, Young Master Yan Jiu was already waiting in the hall, and the girls were placed on the table in the same way, duck lotus rice, sugar choked bamboo shoots, shrimp paste tofu, pepper sesame chicken slices, crispy crispy fish, green sauce king melon, glazed radish, freshly stuffed eggplant, plum blossom cake, ivory crisp, venison porridge and Yunfu Furong Wufu soup.

"The two of us eat so much?" Yan Qi felt that the gang was crazy.

"Aren't you going to compete tomorrow," Young Master Yan Jiu slowly picked up his chopsticks, "Eat." ”

"It's my own. Yan Qi was moved to pick up chopsticks and pick up vegetables for his younger brother.

When Yan Qi fed himself, he found that Yan Xiaojiu's goods were still eating, and he ate them very delicately one bite at a time, Yan Qi cleaned his hands with the small copper basin brought by the girl, and sat next to him to watch his younger brother eat.

"Why have you been able to eat so much for the past two days?" Yan Qi asked.

"Let's be grown. Young Master Yan Jiu said lightly.

"Do you feel that once you have a sign of hunger, you especially want to eat immediately, or if you can't eat when you want to eat, you feel scratched and scratching your liver?" Yan Qi asked.

Young Master Yan Jiu swallowed the last mouthful of soup slowly, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and glanced at his sister lightly: "Women must learn to worry less, otherwise they will grow old quickly." As he spoke, he stood up, hooked his finger at his sister, and then turned and went out into the back yard.

Yan Qi followed Young Master Yan Jiu to his study, and saw that the piece of evil spirit-warding ornament that was taken from her room two days ago was placed on the table in front of the window, and Young Master Yan Jiu stretched out his hand and pointed: "The root cause of the surge in appetite." ”

"Huh. Yan Qi confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

"You have to compete tomorrow, I didn't want to interfere with you, I'll talk about it after you finish the competition," Young Master Yan Jiu sat down and took the ornament in his hand, "And I haven't figured out how this stone can exude medicinal power to make people tricked, I have cleaned its surface, it has not played any role, and there is no peculiar smell when I get closer, I plan to ask someone to ask someone from the palace to help me see if I can smell the smell." ”

The Taste Division is subordinate to the Shang Shi Bureau, and is responsible for pondering and innovating food for the emperor, these people are gifted people in the private income palace, and their sense of smell and taste have a sensitivity beyond ordinary people, and they are used to taste the taste of various ingredients and finished dishes that have not been seen or seen, and the taste that is difficult for ordinary people to smell or distinguish, they can smell more.

"Don't leave this thing like this for the time being, put it away, overeating is always bad for your stomach. "Yan Qidao.

"Well, this is my last test, and now I'm sure it's working, and I won't be putting it on the back ever since. Young Master Yan Jiu put the ornament back on the table and raised his eyes to look at Yan Qi, "Now the question is, who put this thing in your room? Is this person intentional or unintentional? Does he (she) know that this ornament will make people hungry?"

"That is to say, it is very likely that the person who put this ornament in my house did not know that such a consequence would occur, and I was just unfortunate enough to catch up. "Yan Qidao.

Such a possibility cannot be ruled out, nor can it be ruled out that someone did it on purpose. Young Master Yan Jiu raised his hands and stared at the ornaments, "Whenever the people find the Heavenly Stone, they will be presented to the court as a tribute, unless it is rewarded by the emperor." I asked the third uncle to borrow the celestial records of Qin Tianjian in the past thirty years from an acquaintance in the palace, and I plan to check if there are any records related to the Heavenly Stone, or if you are willing to let the uncle intervene in this matter, he will directly investigate who has rewarded the Heavenly Stone products back then, then it will naturally be faster. ”

"Oh, then tell him, this matter is over sooner. "Save Xiao Jiu, this kid from thinking about these useless things all day long.

"However," Young Master Yan Jiu raised his eyes to look at Yan Qi, "Have you ever thought that such a thing as a heavenly stone is a very rare thing, and if it is rewarded from above, it is also rewarded to the emperor's relatives or the favored relatives of meritorious heroes, it is impossible for ordinary people to get it, and our family ......"

The Yan family has a meritorious reputation, it is nothing more than Yan Zike and Yan Zichen brothers, even if Yan Ziheng has knowledge and reputation, it is still just a cloth cloth, as for the women in the back house, not to mention, except for the second wife of Yan is from a military general's family, the rest of the people are civilians, such a piece of heavenly stone ornament, who else can it be rewarded?

"Tell Uncle. Yan Qi didn't hesitate at all.

"Oh. Young Master Yan Jiu didn't say anything more, got up and put the ornament into a wooden box.

"I'm going to Banyuanju now. Yan Qi took the wooden box and went out.

Yan Zike did not enter the mansion until the middle of the moon, and was intercepted by Mrs. Yan's girl on the way to Banyuanju, and took him to the upper room of Baochun Ju.

"Can the master have dinner?" Mrs. Yan wore a lilac homely shirt, lightly applied some fat powder, looked gentle and solemn under the light, and ordered the girl to fetch hot water for Yan Zike to wash his hands and wipe his face, and came up to help him take off the Xuanqing Dayu covered outside.

"Used. Yan Zike's official uniform has not been changed, it can be seen that he is too busy to work, after washing his hands and wiping his face, he sat on the kang near the window, took the hot tea handed by Mrs. Yan herself, and took a sip shallowly.

"Master, I've worked hard these days, and I see a lot of reduction. Mrs. Yan said softly and sat opposite Yan Zike.

"It's always a bit busy in the autumn and winter. Swallow said.

"The lord eats in the office every day, and eats more warm things, and the autumn and winter seasons are the most important to nourish the body and replenish qi. Mrs. Yan said.

"Good. Swallow said.

"Is there any new news over there in Beisai? Zichen and his family are all right?"

"Zichen led the troops to go out today, and there is no news in the follow-up, and the younger siblings are still fine. ”

"Master don't worry, the second uncle can fight well, and he will be victorious. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Master, about the marriage of Jingchun...... Mrs. Yan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and gently put it in front of Yan Zike, "This is a few of the more suitable ones I have considered, my lord will see how it is." As he spoke, he cautiously looked at Yan Zike's face.

Yan Zike took the paper in his hand and looked at it carefully, and saw that the one written in the first place was the young and promising Xuandehou, so he said: "Xuandehou is a person, the desire for control is very strong, the pride of the sky, proud in the bones, the surface is round and calm, in fact, the inside is angular and clear, this kind of people are deep in the city, and it is not easy to adopt people's words, the spring is rigorous, although it is silent, but it is also a hard bone, self-righteous things, and is not willing to easily succumb to others, if it is matched with Xuandehou, I am afraid that it is hard to hit hard, oil meets fire, no one is willing to do a small low, it is difficult to sing with a husband, it is not a good match. ”

Mrs. Yan bit her lip lightly, the reason why she put Xuandehou in the first place was naturally because she felt that this family was the most satisfactory to her, and she didn't think that she would be excluded by Yan Zike first, which made her really feel regretful and puzzled.

"The ...... between husband and wife" Mrs. Yan still couldn't help but say, "I always get along slowly and get along, I can't get along with each other, and I can accommodate each other after a long time, not to mention that Xuandehou is still young now, and he will naturally mature when he is a few years older, and he will know how to be considerate, isn't the way of husband and wife the way of getting along for a long time......"

"Heh......" Yan Zike laughed, but Mrs. Yan didn't understand what he was doing, and saw that he was still looking at the paper with his eyelids down, so he didn't dare to squeak anymore, and listened quietly to what he said.

"Lin Minghan, this person doesn't deserve to be shocked. Yan Zike didn't even say the reason this time.

"The son of the Lin family is a well-known talent, and his future is limitless, and Jingchun is also known as one of the four talented women in Kyoto, and the two of them are capable of singing and singing with their wives, and they are like-minded...... "Mrs. Yan is even more puzzled.

"This year's murder in Chiba Temple is related to him.,This person has soft ears.、It's hard to decide.、Isn't strong.,If you marry in the spring.,I'm afraid it's going to be in the mess of the back house every day.。 Yan Zike said lightly.

As soon as Mrs. Yan heard about the murder and the back house, she finally dispelled her thoughts, and she didn't want her daughter to share a man with a bunch of concubines in the future.

Yan Zike swept the list, and saw that there were no officials below the fourth grade, two no generals, three no marriageable people from grassroots background, Mrs. Yan looked down on people with low officials, two didn't like the five big and three thick generals, and the third disdained the grassroots and no background, and the rest of the people who met her conditions really didn't have many men of marriage age, Yan Zike even saw Min Xuanwei's name in the list.

Min Xuanwei, who caused his wife to kill his concubine in anger because of cheating.

Yan Zike laughed again, shaking his head with a smile, the son of the second-grade official family is so rare that even the character can be ignored?

"Min Xuanwei?" Yan Zike looked at his wife with a smile.

Mrs. Yan was a little flustered: "That was just written casually, just because...... It's just because I have a good relationship with Mrs. Min and like the second lady of her family, and I still want to ask for a marriage from the tide, so this ...... It's just a casual ...... It's also because I have a good relationship with Mrs. Min and I want to be my in-laws so much......"

"Is it Mrs. Min who asked Min Xuanwei to marry Jingchun?" Yan Zike said in one word.

Mrs. Yan half-bowed her head: "Yes...... At the chrysanthemum banquet that day, Mrs. Min revealed a little meaning in her words, and I couldn't refuse on the spot, so I didn't reply to her immediately...... so I wrote it on paper to test my husband's meaning."

Yan Zike stood up, put the paper on the table, looked at the person in front of him, and said: "Fangxin, I only hope that you can live an easier life, you don't have to think about the maintenance and assistance of the Yan family, and you don't have to consider my official career and foundation, even if I lose this official and become a civilian, I can still make the whole family live without worry." Children are not the stepping stone of the family, and you are not the coolie of the family. ”

As he spoke, he walked to the hanger and took his big coat, turned his head to look at Mrs. Yan, who had tears in her eyes, and said: "I don't ask for the marriage of my children, there are only two things: the child likes it, the other party has excellent character, no matter how poor or lonely it is, it doesn't hurt to be my son-in-law, I have a way to make him jump into the dragon gate." 166 Reading Network
