Chapter Eighty-Seven: It's Hard to Tell the Truth from the False
The remaining three dishes are swans, jade rabbits and koi fish.
Huang Huan pointed to the plate containing the swan, which was like ice and jade, and said:
"Girl, this porcelain plate is a little inappropriate, if it is replaced with a blue and white porcelain plate with a water leaf pattern, wouldn't it be more vivid."
There is some truth in Childe's words, but the little girl's intention is not here. This plate of dim sum is called 'Goose Flying', and this white porcelain dish is just right. Situ said.
Huang Huan was very confused when he heard this, and it was very unlucky for the goose to fly when the water was exhausted. Wouldn't it be better to use a pair of geese to cross their necks?
Without waiting for him to ask questions, Situ Cheng went on to introduce the next dish of jade rabbit as 'Rabbit Dead Fox Sorrow', and a plate of koi fish as 'Goose Passing Away and Fish Sinking'.
Huang Huan was even more puzzled when he saw her sad expression, so he stretched out his mouth and tasted one of the jade rabbits, the filling in which was actually bitter gourd, as did the swan and koi.
Situ Ming's eyes wept, and Ying Ying bowed down and said:
"Please forgive the little girl for her abrupt sin, I ......"
Huang Huan saw this scene and thought that she had some last resort, so he stepped forward to help her up and said:
"If the ninth girl has anything to say, just say it, as long as this son helps her, she will definitely not shirk it."
Situ said in her heart, what I was waiting for was your words.
She wiped her tears and said:
"To tell you the truth, I originally came to Kyoto to look for relatives, but I didn't expect my relatives to be found, but I ended up in such a place."
"Is the Nine Girls from the South? I saw that the dim sum made by the girl was made with lychee and loquat so vivid, and it was difficult for people who had not seen and eaten it with their own eyes to make it. Who are your relatives in Kyoto? Huang Huan asked.
Lychees and loquat were cultivated only in the warmer southern climate, and most of the people who ate them in Kyoto were royal nobles. Even the officials with small official positions have never seen these fruits.
"Presumably, Gongzi has also inquired about my background, and they all guess that I am not from the Central Plains. I grew up in a farming family in Jizhou, and I don't know who my biological parents were. Situ avoided the important and light.
Who is he Huang Huan, and a little inquiry will definitely be able to figure out her ins and outs. She can't say that she is from Jiangzhou, there are too many loopholes in this.
Things are really as Situ Cheng expected, Huang Huan is cautious and will not go to meet a strange woman lightly. He had already sent someone to learn about Situ Ming's arrival in Kyoto from Xingpo and even Honggu.
"Besides, all of us in Yufangyuan are Jiangzhou women except me, and I learned the way to make dim sum from them." Situ explained again.
The reason why she made a six-dish Jiangnan boat point. Of course, there is a deep meaning. First, it attracted Huang Huan's attention as soon as he came, making him think in his heart that the woman in front of him had something in common with Qian Sicheng.
Next, she confronts him with poetry, which of course has a hint of irony. But Huang Huan couldn't hear it.
She showed Huang Huan her talent and showed that she was no worse than Peony, and now Huang Huan would not support Peony in the Oiran election competition.
Then she feigned weakness to win his sympathy and further capture his heart.
After all, she still can't help herself in Kyoto, so why not use him to gain a foothold. After having a place of their own. Only then did she have the capital to slowly carry out her own revenge.
"Does the ninth girl have the whereabouts of her relatives?" Huang Huan asked again.
"Since I entered Yufangyuan, I have been like a bird in a birdcage, without a trace of freedom, how can I still have the idea of looking for relatives." Situ said pitifully.
"Since the girl longs for freedom, why did my son send someone to pick you up, but you insisted on refusing to go out." Huang Huan finally asked the question in his heart.
The people he sent came back to report to him that Situ Cheng was reluctant to leave Yufangyuan and said that Yufangyuan was his home.
Huang Huan didn't believe this, not to mention that he already knew that Situ Cheng was sold into Yufangyuan back then. How could she be reluctant to come out, she must be controlled by others, and she can't help herself.
Later, I heard that Situ Cheng wanted to meet him alone. This deepened the idea that I was right.
"What are Childe going to do when you buy me back? Are you a slave? Situ Cheng asked bluntly.
Huang Huan didn't expect her to ask like this, and was stunned.
"I'm not free now, but then again, which of those slaves is free?" Situ said again.
"How can I be willing to let such a beautiful girl be a slave?" Huang Huan smiled shamelessly.
"I know it's inappropriate to say such things in my own capacity, but I still want to show Childe what I think. Even if we are lonely all my life in this life, we will not serve a husband with other women. Situ Cheng said with a straight face.
"What, what did you just say? Your name is Si Cheng? Huang Huan stood up in shock.
Situ Ming's tone and expression just now were too much like Qian Sicheng, and he remembered that Qian Sicheng had also said the same thing to him.
In horror, I heard the three words Situ Ming, where can I still tell whether it is Situ Cheng or Si Cheng.
"What's wrong with Childe?" Situ Cheng sneered in her heart, looked at Huang Huan's shocked pale face and asked deliberately.
"That's right. My name is Situ Ming, not Si Cheng. She repeated.
Huang Huan thought to himself, this woman looks humble and gentle on the surface, but she is actually very arrogant in her bones. How many famous ladies are vying to enter his mansion, and he doesn't want it.
Such a woman in the dust actually said a word. Don't come to serve the same husband with others.
The tone was so arrogant that Huang Huan even had the idea of leaving with his sleeves brushed up, but his heart was already in Situ Ming's hands, and he expected that he would not leave lightly.
"The girl's surname is Situ, do you know the origin of your surname?" Huang Huan asked knowingly to see how she answered.
"Let's be honest. I do not know. I grew up in Jizhou, and I can't remember anything before I was very young. It was the adoptive parents who sued me with my own surname Situ, and my relatives were in Kyoto. ”
Situ thought that even if he had great powers and means, he wouldn't chase him to Shijia Village in order to find out about this matter.
Jizhou has a large number of people, and it is difficult to find the root cause of him.
It is reasonable that the peasant families do not know about the affairs of the imperial court. Back then, Duan Yi was given the surname Situ by the emperor of the previous dynasty, except for the officials in the court, where did the commoners know.
It's just that a hundred years have passed, and a woman claiming to be surnamed Situ has appeared, which is really hard to believe.
"I'm telling you this, you have no relatives in Kyoto for a long time, can you believe it?" Huang Huan said.
"Yes or no, I'm now in the dust of fireworks. Even if you have relatives, you don't have a face to see each other. ”
"I only recently learned the origin of the surname Situ, and the owner of Yufang Yuan deliberately used this gimmick to achieve some purposes. I came to see Gongzi today, just to ask Gongzi if he could persuade Ge Yuxin to dispel this idea. I said it in a high-sounding way for the sake of the current life of Li Min, and what I really mean is that I don't want to insult my surname. Regardless of whether I am the descendant of that person or not, I don't want to insult my ancestors. Situ said to Huang Huan.
In fact, not so long ago, she didn't think so. She also wanted to use this surname to make a name for herself and get the Oiran laurel.
However, since the last time she saw Huang Huan in the peony girl's room, she had changed her mind.
The surname Situ has something to do with the previous dynasty, and she is afraid that she will scare away the third highness of the current dynasty, making her follow-up plan impossible.
The relatives she is really looking for are not the family surnamed Situ, but her own children. (To be continued.) )
