Chapter 027: Speaking of the world in front of His Majesty
PS: (One more chapter, around 9:30 p.m.!) )
Lin Wan'er asked the innkeeper for a few tables, put together a large table by herself, put a huge pot on the shelf, cut a few pieces of ginger and green onions, mashed the garlic, prepared coriander, poured star anise, fennel, spices, peppercorns, and specially prepared a large handful of chili peppers, all of which were poured into the cauldron. The heat rising from the bottom of the pot was mixed with a hint of spicy, and the whole inn was filled with the smell of rushing to the nose, Lin Wan'er scooped up a spoonful of hot pot base and tasted it carefully, it was spicy and cold, and she couldn't help but spit out her tongue, it was really enjoyable, it was definitely a perverted spicy in a perverted spicy.
At this time, the snow has been floating outside the inn, the snow in the capital is very different from the snow in Shanzhou, the snow in Lanzhou is gradual, at first it is Xiaoice crystal, it melts when it falls on the ground, and then it is a small snowflake, gently spread on the ground, and you can see the color of the earth a little, it is not possible to pile up a snowman. However, the snow in Shangjing City began to be goose feather snow, which fell all over the sky, and instantly dyed the sky and the earth white.
Lin Wan'er beckoned everyone to sit down, Cordyceps poured liquor for everyone, prepared dishes and chopsticks, placed mutton, beef, and vegetables neatly, and threw a pair of huge pig bones into the cauldron, gurgling, and the hot pot soup turned into a milky white color, mixed with bright red chili juice, which looked very appetizing.
Lin Wan'er looked at Cordyceps sinensis after being busy, and also beckoned the two of them to sit down, and saw the two sisters who had been a little depressed recently, and said: "It's quite cold in the capital, but Lanzhou City should be quite warm, so don't worry about the old five plus not adding clothes and getting cold." Besides, there are so many maids in the Lin Mansion, won't you remind him to add some clothes? ”
Cordyceps sinensis, who was poked by Lin Wan'er, turned red, lowered her head and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, casually sandwiched some green vegetables in the pot and ate them.
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but shake her head. The most difficult thing in this world to explain is the word love, how many people get into a dead end for love and can't get out, "There are 80,000 words in the world, only love words hurt people the most." After saying this, Lin Wan'er took out a piece of tender mutton from the pot, soaked it in the sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth. I think the taste is excellent. Two more pieces were put into the bowl where Baoyu and Yubao were handed to. As for Dabao, Lin Wan'er doesn't have to worry, Chen Xiaoxiao is there to take care of it.
Lin Wan'er seemed to remember something. said to Li Mubai: "Li Gongzi, I heard that you are about to go to the Xiongnu Grassland to sharpen your swordsmanship, I don't know if Wan'er can help?" ”
Li Mubai put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "If it's convenient for Miss Wan'er." You can give some silver taels. Li Mubai picked up the teacup and took a sip of boiled water, and his tone of voice was very sincere. There is no awareness that you can borrow anything from friends, but you can't borrow money. Li Mubai doesn't drink tea, doesn't drink alcohol, only drinks boiled water, Lin Wan'er sees Li Mubai always thinks of Gu Long's Ximen Blowing Snow, and likes to wear white clothes. And it won't be dirty, they are still masters with swords, but I don't know which peerless master will be the one who will fight with Li Mubai at the top of the Forbidden City.
Lin Wan'er heard Li Mubai ask for silver taels. Not only was he surprised, but as a master, how could he covet silver things. Yang Erxi and Li Mubai do not deal with each other. said a little stupidly: "You are all top masters, why haven't you been ashamed to ask for silver taels?" ”
Li Mubai smiled indifferently and explained: "Brother Erxi doesn't know anything, walking the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is silver taels, eating, sleeping, and lodging all need silver taels, and even chivalrous righteousness and helping the poor need silver taels." ”
Lin Wan'er nodded thoughtfully, it seems that the martial arts of the year misled most people, but it is one thing to help the poor beat the bad guys, and it is imperative to leave the poor with some silver taels. Lin Wan'er said: "Since Gongzi Li is going to the grassland, Wan'er will give some more silver taels in case of emergency." ”
Lin Wan'er lowered her head and took a bite of the ball, and when she looked up and saw a luxurious lady suddenly appearing at the door, she couldn't help but be stunned, hurriedly stood up, and said in a lost voice: "Mrs. Long? ”
The queen, who was known as Mrs. Long, looked at Lin Wan'er with a smile on her face and said, "Miss Wan'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Lin Wan'er hurriedly gave up her seat to Mrs. Long, and Mrs. Long was followed by a majestic man, who thought it was Lord Long, the emperor, His Majesty and the Empress were dressed plainly, but their gases were majestic, and everyone felt a little out of breath, even Li Mubai couldn't help but get up to greet him.
His Majesty and the Empress entered the house, and immediately a subordinate took off the cloak and slowly exited the inn.
Lin Wan'er instructed Cordyceps to put on two more pairs of chopsticks, and said, "Master Long, Mrs. Long, if you don't dislike it, let's eat a little together." ”
The queen smiled lightly, sat down, and said, "Miss Wan'er, it has been some time since I said goodbye to Lanzhou, and I took the liberty to come with my husband today and disturb me." ”
Lin Wan'er hurriedly replied: "Where is it a nuisance." Master Long, Mrs. Long, you have a taste of this hot pot. ”
Maybe it was because His Majesty the Emperor was usually used to being majestic, and with a "hmm" sound, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and scooped up a piece of beef, and slowly tasted it.
Lin Wan'er was a little speechless, this dragon master looked knowledgeable, but he was also a little too self-respecting.
The queen saw that Her Majesty was still a style in the palace, and couldn't help but pull Her Majesty's sleeves, and the emperor frowned slightly, as if she was displeased, and suddenly remembered that she was a private visit, so she felt that something was wrong with her actions.
His Majesty the Emperor coughed slightly, and said, "I heard that Miss Wan'er is smart and intelligent, and Madame often mentions it, I ...... She was really a strange woman, so she paid a visit with her wife. ”
Lin Wan'er bowed her head slightly and said, "Mrs. Xie Long remembers, it was just a small courtyard at the beginning, thank you for bothering." ”
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Wan'er's answer, nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank the spirits, feeling very happy, and the words unconsciously increased: "Miss Wan'er, can you enter the Xiaowen list as a woman, I don't know if you have any opinions on today?" ”
The queen couldn't help but tug at the sleeves of Her Majesty's shirt again, but Her Majesty ignored it.
Lin Wan'er thought for a while and said: "Under the governance of His Majesty today, the Great Wei State is peaceful and peaceful, the four seas are peaceful, and the imperial examination is important, giving the world's poor scholars a chance to get ahead, attaching importance to farming, creating a foundation for all generations, the Xiongnu in the north, supporting the southern Xinjiang in the south, setting up Xiliang in the west, Pingxichuan, destroying barbarian slaves, dividing the world's states and counties, and setting up three provinces and six departments, which is actually the first Ming monarch in the world." ”
His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly, feeling that what Lin Wan'er said was right, she had been on the throne for many years, and she had always adopted the policy of enriching the people and securing the country internally, and had been cracking down and appeasing her externally, so that she could have today's peaceful and prosperous era.
"However, the current Great Wei State also has many drawbacks." Lin Wan'er continued.
"Cons?" His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly, and his hand on his beard also stopped, "What are the drawbacks?" ”
Lin Wan'er didn't understand why Master Long cared so much about national affairs, and for the first time, he came to the door to place it, not talking about some family life, but talking about the great truth of the world, although she couldn't understand it, she still said: "The Great Wei State values agriculture and light business, attaches too much importance to cultural governance, and despises martial arts, resulting in the fact that the Great Wei Kingdom is now a little right-heavy, left-heavy, and looks at the peaceful and prosperous world, but the overall progress is slow, everyone is difficult to have enough food and clothing, and some people are not well fed and clothed. ”
His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly and said: "Merchants seek profits, flies camp dogs, do not do farming, just steal the fruits of others, like maggots on tarsal bones, vampire ghosts, where do we need to pay attention?" Immediately fight the world, rule the world under the horse, reading talent is the seed of the world, martial arts rely on martial arts, support the army to dominate, is a taboo in the world. For example, today is a peaceful and prosperous era that has never appeared in ancient times, how can the monarchs of the past generations compare with today. ”
Lin Wan'er shook her head, poured a glass of wine for His Majesty the Emperor first, and then said, "What Master Long said is reasonable, but Wan'er has a different idea. It is true that businessmen pursue profits, but they are not maggots on tarsal bones, but human blood, only when the blood is smooth can the body be strong, just like the south has more tea, merchants transport it to the north, earn the difference, but the price is not too high, ordinary people in the north can also drink cheap tea, is not the merit of the merchants. Governing the country should depend on the literati, but the northern Xiongnu are eyeing the tiger, and the warriors should not be despised . Today, it is true that there has never been a peaceful and prosperous era in ancient times, but I am not a descendant, how can I know that there will be no more prosperous era in the future? ”
The queen saw that the emperor's majesty still had signs of continuing to argue, so she hurriedly pulled her majesty and said: "My husband is not good at other things on weekdays, he only likes to talk about some national affairs, and Miss Wan'er should not be surprised." ”
Lin Wan'er smiled, didn't care, and said: "Wan'er doesn't know the depths, just casually talking nonsense, don't be surprised by Lord Wanglong and Mrs. Long." ”
The queen smiled lightly and did not let the emperor speak, and the poor emperor sat alone and bowed his head and drank wine. The queen chatted with Lin Wan'er about some family things, until the vegetables and meat were at the bottom, the two got up and left, Lin Wan'er sent her out of the inn, and turned back to the inn.
Chen Xiaoxiao asked a little mysteriously: "Sister Wan'er, why haven't you ever heard you mention that you still know such a big man in the capital?" ”
While cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Wan'er explained her relationship with Mrs. Long, and couldn't help but be fascinated: "Mrs. Long's demeanor is outstanding, which is really enviable." Master Long is also full of majesty, but he is a little domineering, and he doesn't let people put forward his own opinions. ”
Baoyu and Yubao, who had been silent during the meal, came over and said, "Eldest sister, do you see that Master Long, is it a little similar to Brother Zhao Qian and Zhao?" ”
Lin Wan'er tilted her head and thought about it, suddenly covered her mouth, knocked on her head fiercely, and sighed secretly: "It's bad, it's really damn to say that Jiangshan Sheji has shortcomings in front of His Majesty the Emperor!" (To be continued)
