Qiyun and the Buddha were sitting under the pear tree, talking, when a figure passed by them in a trance. Qiyun looked up and said with a smile: "Buddha, a person you are worried about in your heart is here." ”

"Someone I have in mind?" Buddha said: "Do you know who the Tao is?" ”

Qiyun asked him rhetorically: "Isn't what you're talking about in your heart Mao Xiuzhi?" The person who just walked over was Mao Xiuzhi, didn't you want him to be the cook by your side? As he spoke, he glanced at him: "Your heart is really big enough, I want him to be your cook." He is an official and a scholar, unless you are the emperor, you can afford to use him. ”

The civet was mocked by her, but he didn't care, and laughed it off. They looked all the way forward, but they couldn't see Mao Xiuzhi's figure. Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a calm and polite voice from behind the bushes behind him: "Hello second son!"

"Mao Sima, you're here. Please sit and watch the tea! A soft, gentle voice said. It turned out that Mao Xiuzhi entered the pavilion behind the bushes, and Yi Zhen was waiting for him in the pavilion. Yizhen said: "Count it up, Mao Gong is Yizhen's elder, and Yizhen still needs to ask about the current situation on the front line." ”

Hearing this, the Buddha stopped his steps and walked away. Qiyun came to his senses, he heard that Yi was really talking about military politics, and avoided it far away, so as not to arouse suspicion. She didn't shy away from it, still standing behind the pavilion, listening intently.

Mao Xiuzhi is a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with few great ambitions and more reading historical books. He had a deep friendship with Liu Yu and was appointed to join the army, the Yellow Gate Squire, and the General of the Right Guard. This time, Mao Xiuzhi went on a northern expedition with Liu Yu and destroyed Later Qin. After Liu Yu hurriedly returned to Jiangnan, he left Mao Xiuzhi, Wang Zhenwei and others to assist Liu Yizhen to guard Guanzhong.

Mao Xiuzhi is good at making food, Yizhen and Qiyun have liked to eat the dishes he has cooked since they were children, and whenever he goes to the Taiwei Mansion, Qiyun pesters him even more. Mao Xiuzhi has always been chic and casual, and the two of them are like old friends.

Qiyun hid behind the bushes, and asked Mao Xiuzhi at the right time: "Mao Gong, how is the situation of the current frontline against the Xia army?" ”

Mao Xiuzhi replied: "Second son, Wang Zhen Zhenzheng and Shen Tianzi are deployed on the front line respectively to prevent the Xia army's iron cavalry, and everything is normal when the front is deployed. It's just that the two generals, Wang Zhenwei and Shen Tianzi, are a little discordant. In terms of military deployment, the two often disagreed, saying that the public was justified and the mother saying that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the quarrel was red-faced. The subordinates below were at a loss and didn't know who to listen to. ”

Yizhen sighed: "I heard that the two generals were not in harmony, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point? ”

Mao Xiuzhi replied: "Yes, General Wang Zhenwei was the first to attack Chang'an, and his military achievements are impressive. Shen Tianzi is the lord's confidant and close minister, and the two generals are very powerful. ”

"They have deep grievances, they are old cases, and it is difficult to resolve them all at once. It's just that at this moment, their situation is extremely bad for our Southern Army. Yizhen sighed, got up and paced back and forth a few steps, and said to Mao Xiu: "Mao Gong, wait a while Yizhen will write a letter and tell the two generals what is at stake." Mao Gong brought my letter with him, and Yizhen still relied on you to mediate in the middle, so that the two generals could turn their rivalry into jade silk and work together to resist Helian's vigorous cavalry. ”

Mao Xiuzhi replied respectfully: "The second son is polite. What Childe said, Xiu Yi must keep it in mind and do his best. ”

After Yizhen finished talking about business, he changed his words: "Today, Mao Gong returned to the Governor's Mansion, and he hasn't seen that little girl from Qiyun, right?" Yun'er misses you very much. ”

Mao Xiuzhi laughed and said, "The second son said that he was joking. It's not so much that the little county lord misses the old man, but that she is thinking about the yokan I made, right? ”

Yoshishin chuckled, too, "That's right. It's just that I don't know where that girl went. She is now mysterious, and she is not seen all day long. ”

Qiyun heard them talk about himself behind their backs, couldn't hide anymore, and jumped out from behind the bushes: "Is it a gentleman who secretly talks behind others and gossips?" ”

Yizhen and Mao Xiuzhi looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads. Yizhen smiled and said: "I should ask you this right, is it a gentleman's work to secretly listen to other people's gossip behind others?" ”

She smiled skillfully and looked at the sky. Mao Xiuzhi smiled and shook his head: "County Lord, it's time for you to change your temperament." The little girl should be reserved, otherwise she will not be able to marry. With that, he winked at her.

Qiyun stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Borrow your auspicious words, if I can't marry by then, it will be all Mao Gong's harm, and you have to be responsible for me." In this way, I, Feng Qiyun, will follow Mao Gong you for the rest of my life......"

When Yizhen heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he pointed at Mao Xiuzhi: "Mao Gong, you are miserable." The lord of Zhuohua County depends on you, so you can cook for her for a lifetime. ”

"That's natural, a bargain, I never do." Qiyun's eyebrows are raised, full of the style of the little daughter, "Mao Gong's food is the best in the world." Speaking of your cooking skills, I have a friend who wants to introduce you to you, and he has admired you for a long time. ”

Qiyun walked out of the pavilion and beckoned the Buddha to come over. The Buddha entered the pavilion and made a gesture to Mao Xiuzhi and Yizhen, which was regarded as a salute. Mao Xiuzhi saw that the Buddha was long and jade, and his appearance and bearing were noble and extraordinary, so he couldn't help but look at it twice, and asked in a harmonious voice: "This son...... Don't seem to look like Han Chinese? ”

The Buddha smiled: "Mao Gong has good eyesight, and the Buddha is a member of the Xianbei tribe in the north." Because of his admiration for Han culture for a long time, he traveled to Guanzhong, and was in danger on the way, but was fortunately rescued by the second prince and the county lord and stayed in the governor's mansion. ”

Mao Xiuzhi stroked his beautiful beard in his hand and asked: "Childe's Chinese is no different from that of Han people, what Chinese books has Childe read?" ”

"The master taught the Buddha, and he had roughly read "Poems", "Books", "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn" and the like."

Mao Xiuzhi praised: "No wonder the son treats people generously and solemnly, it turns out that he is familiar with poetry, books, etiquette and righteousness. ”

The Buddha humbly conceded: "The estrangement is far away, the ancient is through the present, and the Buddha is still far away." Listening to the county lord, Mao Gongwen is a martial artist. Today, I have the fate to get acquainted, and the Buddha is fortunate to have three lives. ”

Mao Xiuzhi saw that the Buddha was elegant and humble, and his original doubts were removed, and he secretly liked it in his heart.

"What Wen Taowu strategy is not as memorable as the delicious food cooked by Mao Gong himself." Qiyun couldn't help but interject on the side. As long as she sees Mao Xiuzhi, she thinks of yokan and other delicacies in her mind, and she can't think of anything else.

Yizhen invited the two of them to sit down, let the maid serve tea again, and said gently: "Speaking of the dishes cooked by Mao Gong, what impresses me the most is that during the Shangsi Festival that year, I remember the time when we were on the Jiankang Qinhuai River boat. ”

Qiyun took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Yes, I remember it too." On that occasion, we saw a person writing poems and drinking on the boat, and there were Xie Lingyun and Yan Yanzhi during the banquet. Mao Gong cooked for us personally, and that time, it was really fun! ”

Yizhen also smiled: "I remember that year's Shangsi Festival, that night on the boat. On the third day of the first month of March, looking at the sky bending the crescent moon like a hook, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo music, the lanterns on both sides of the Qinhuai River, singing poems with a few confidants and friends, and eating Mao's dishes. In my Liu Yi's heart, the most enjoyable enjoyment in the world is nothing more than this! As he spoke, he seemed to be intoxicated with memories and reverie.

What a sight he said! It's just that how did he take advantage of all these good things in the world? At this time, in the heart of the Buddha, there was not only envy for Yizhen, but also jealousy, and there seemed to be a trace of hatred......
