Chapter 21: Unraveling
After Cheng Er stepped down from the state, it was supposed to be promoted, but there was no news from the ministry for a long time, although the trustee asked a lot, and the news was relieved, this time it must be promoted, but I didn't see the bottom of the body, and finally there was a definite news a few days ago, which was the history of Laiyang Prefecture.
Although it is the same history of thorns, it is the lower state and Laiyang is the middle state, which is promoted from the fourth product to the fourth product, and Laiyang is rich here, and the people are rich and peaceful.
But at the same time, the bad news is that some people also take a fancy to this position.
"It's not that no one of us can talk in the court." Second Mrs. Cheng said, "Isn't your teacher Zhang Chun studying too much? Ask him to come forward and recommend me. ”
Zhang Chun is not an official, but he is a great Confucian, who opened a school and has 3,000 disciples, and is famous.
"Yes, I have already written a letter to the teacher and sent it, and there will be news in a few days." Second Master Cheng said.
"The teacher's father happens to be here, and it happens to be the holidays, so you can go and see him." Second Mrs. Cheng said.
Second Master Cheng nodded.
"That's natural, but the old lady will never be a guest." He said, frowning, "It's really sad." ”
"Then go a few more times, and you won't always see you." Second Mrs. Cheng said.
"Okay, eat, eat." Second Master Cheng said, kneeling down and picking up chopsticks.
Mrs. Cheng didn't move.
"Why don't you eat it?" Second Master Cheng asked.
Second Mrs. Cheng looked at the food on the table and sneered.
"Someone doesn't want me to eat it, so why should I eat it." She said.
What's wrong with it? Second Master Cheng was confused.
The troublesome fool has been sent away, why does the family still seem to be at peace?
In the mystical view, the girl folded the clothes that had been washed.
"Lady. The old man didn't send the ingredients, what do you want to eat? I'll be in town in a moment. The old man said that he wanted to eat Taiping steamed buns, and I sent them to him when I was ready. Then I bought the vegetables and meat or something. She asked.
Cheng Jianniang raised her head.
"Haven't you been here for a few days?" "It's a pity that he picks good fruit and vegetable meat." ”
Silent for a moment.
"No one else will deliver it to the door again?" She asked.
The girl knew that she was slow to talk and wanted to wait, but she didn't expect the sentence she was waiting for, and she couldn't help but be amused.
The lady hardly laughs, but sometimes she speaks to make people laugh, and the most important thing is that she doesn't laugh yet, as if it's true.
"It's true." Cheng Jianniang said.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled.
"Yes. Yes, slaves don't laugh. She said, her mouth still closed.
Cheng Jianniang didn't understand what was funny, so she didn't pay attention to it.
"The slave is stupid, and she can't choose vegetables and meat." The girl laughed and blamed herself.
"It's not stupid." Cheng Jianniang said, "It's absent-minded." ”
"Lady, slaves don't dare to be lazy." The girl was startled, and hurriedly said, "It's all carefully chosen." ”
"Not this." Cheng Jianniang said. Speaking of this, he sighed again.
The girl didn't know why, looked at her worriedly, and didn't dare to speak again.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
I can also think of my hands and feet as free. It's just that this speech is almost not getting better, and the tongue is stiff.
There is no hurry. No hurry, words. It's not much, it's just talking.
"You. I don't want to eat in my heart, I don't know how to eat, so I can't think of what I want and what kind of flavor I use, which is absent-minded, not to say, you don't care about me. Cheng Jianniang said, looking up at the girl.
The girl was relieved, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Lady, slave Luton, I want the lady to explain." She said, leaning over the ground and prostrating.
"That's right, you're willing to listen to me." Cheng Jianniang said, pursing her lips, "So, at this time, you are attentive, if people don't care, only listen to what they want to hear, the so-called partial listening and partial belief." ”
The girl looked at her and nodded earnestly.
"Thank you for your teachings, and the slave understands what it means to be attentive." She saluted again, got up and knelt straight, "There are no carefully selected ingredients for those who have a heart, the lady thinks about what she wants to eat, and the slave and maid do it with her heart." ”
Cheng Jianniang watched her purse her lips again, this time the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, obviously smiling.
"Whatever you put into it, it's delicious." She said.
The girl smiled and got up.
"Lady, you wait and see." She said, turning and smiling.
Master Sun Guan had been sitting in the room for a long time, and the two apprentices who had brought food outside the door glanced at each other.
"What's wrong with Master? When he came back from the mountain, he sighed for a long time, as if he was worried. They whispered, "Could it be that there is not enough money to spend on repairs?" ”
The other apprentice nodded.
"It costs a lot more money just to furnish that room than it does to fix the house." She said in a low voice.
"How can a fool use something so good?" The first one was surprised and almost shouted, "It seems that we can't change into new robes." ”
She said whimsically.
No wonder Master isn't mentioning clothes.
The door opened, and the viewer came out, but stopped and retreated.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" The two apprentices followed up and asked simply.
"I'm thinking about something big related to our Taoist temple, but I don't know if I can do it." Sun Guan said, puzzled.
"What's the matter? Say it, and let's think about it. The apprentices said, kneeling down in front of her, not caring about setting the meal.
Sun Guan hesitated for a moment.
"I think we have a chance to make a name for ourselves." She said.
The Taoist temple is famous, which is naturally a good thing, and the two apprentices are very happy.
"Master, what is the chance?" They asked hurriedly.
Sun Guan hesitated.
"Fasting." She said.
The two apprentices glanced at each other.
It is not uncommon for the rice to become famous, and there is a ready-made example in Jiangzhou City, which is the Wanning Temple in the west of the city.
At first, the temple came to see through the red dust of the famous chef, after entering the Buddhist door, concentrate on practice, Buddhism is not refined or not fine, cooking skills soared, first the monks in the temple praised, and then the pilgrims praised, becoming more and more famous, to this day waiting for a meal of pilgrims have to wait in line, it can be seen that the fame.
Don't need money to eat fasting, but few people will eat fasting in vain, the merit box naturally has to add a few more, the most important thing is that to gather popularity, popularity is more famous, so reciprocating, Wanning Temple has a great reputation so far, and the incense is vigorous.
This kind of celebrity chef who sees through the red dust is hard to find, and there are very few opportunities like Wanning Temple.
"Our fast?" The two apprentices smiled bitterly, "Master, I barely had some more oil and water today, who is willing to eat it." ”
"Naturally, we can't." Sun Guan said, looking out the door, "So, you have to learn." ”
Learn?
"With whom?" The apprentice asked.
"Miss Banqin." Sun Guan said.
"Is the food cooked by Miss Banqin really that good?" The apprentices asked.
Sun Guan Zhu smiled.
"Then do you think that the old man is really tired of climbing the mountain and came to rest?" She said, "It's for a plate of fruit and a bowl of vegetables that the girl brought to me." ”
The apprentices were stunned.
"But Banqin and they are going to move to the mountains, so they can't go to serve other people's fruits and meals." Sun Guan said with a sigh.
"Then why should Master be worried, go and ask Sister Banqin if she can teach us." An apprentice said.
"Is this okay?" Sun Guan hesitated, this is what she has been struggling with for a long time.
"Why not, Sister Banqin is a kind person, she will definitely agree." The apprentice said.
Banqin is a kind person, but the point is that it is not her who calls the shots.
Lord Sun Guan was silent.
"I don't dare," she murmured.
The apprentices were surprised.
"Master, why don't you dare? Sister Banqin is very talkative, okay or not, ask what are you afraid of? They asked, puzzled.
"I'm afraid, if she is unhappy, the Great Xuan Miaoguan will also change its name..."Sun Guan Master muttered. (To be continued......)
