Chapter 136: Eyes Open
"Lord Yang doesn't have to be nervous, this king happened to pass by Douyizhuang, and he knew that there was a competition today, so he wanted to take a look." Long Zening looked at Lord Yang's sincere and frightened look, and said lightly.
"Yes, yes. It is really an honor for me to come here in Jingdingzhou. Lord Yang kept nodding and said.
"Your name is Jian Ning, right, raise your head." Long Zening looked at Jian Ning with his head lowered all the time, slightly displeased. He wanted to see what kind of woman could say something like that.
The moment he saw Jian Ning, Long Zening unconsciously narrowed his eyes.
The woman in front of her had a fair face with soft lines. The faint eyebrows are quite a bit of a taste of fireworks in the world. A pair of charming big eyes flickering, smart and intelligent. Long eyelashes, a handsome pink nose, and a small cherry mouth. The green silk is smooth and smooth, tied into a bun at will, and a few strands of hair hang down to the ears. The waist is slender, the shoulders are fragrant, the body is graceful, not vulgar powder, and the delicate reveals an extraordinary temperament.
I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful woman in the world, and it seems that the first beauty of Yuanchu today is about to change hands. If the royal brother knew, he might be amazed!
"This king asks you, why do you say that the king regards the people as heaven, and the people regard food as heaven?" Long Zening came back to his senses, and a majestic and magnetic voice came out.
Jian Ning glanced at Long Zening, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "As the king, the focus is on the people's aspirations. If the king can't sympathize with the people's sufferings and treat the people well, then one day the people will lose the hearts of the people, the people will rise up and rebel, and the country will be in danger! ”
"On the other hand, if he is a king, he can do good to the people, so that everyone will have a field to cultivate, a place to eat, and a place to live and work in peace and contentment. Then the country will prosper and endure for generations! ”
The little woman brought a good harvest of grains and a bowl of white rice to illustrate. The importance of food for the people and for a country. Only the five grains are abundant. Grain harvest is the way to strengthen the country and enrich the people, and it is the way of heaven! ”
After Jian Ning's words were finished, the field was already silent, and the silence was terrifying.
"Bang Bang!" With a loud burst of applause, the silence was broken.
I saw Long Zening suddenly stand up, and after laughing a few times, he suddenly said very sternly: "Do you know that with your few words, this king can cure you with a demon to confuse the public." The sin of contempt for the Emperor! ”
Jian Ning's heart suddenly tightened, and she looked at the man in front of her for some reason. Is this the so-called untouchable imperial power?
"Hmph, if that's the case, the little woman has nothing to say." Jian Ning's eyes were full of disdain and contempt, and he looked straight at Long Zening and said, "I didn't expect that the dignified King Xiang was such a shallow and despicable person, and today is really an eye-opener!" ”
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she had an expression of preparing for heroic justice. I can't imagine a prince, or a prince who is highly valued, but he is just a mediocre person. It is conceivable that the current emperor is nothing more than that.
"Today you also opened the eyes of this king!" Long Zening was not angry because of Jian Ning's words. Instead, he said it meaninglessly.
"Lord Wang, such a woman who has committed a crime below should be sent to prison!" Lord Yang immediately lowered his head beside Long Zening at this moment and said.
"When. Does this king need to listen to Lord Yang's words? Long Zening's cold voice reached Lord Yang's ears.
Lord Yang was suddenly so shocked that he knelt down, kowtowed and said, "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare." The prince forgives the sin. ”
"Come, bring the abundant harvest to the king." Long Zening didn't look at Lord Yang, and looked at the people behind him.
Hearing this, a little scholar-like person who had been standing behind Long Zening immediately ran over and brought the dishes to Long Zening.
This series of changes made Liu Leshan and Ruan Zijin's hearts rise to their throats. Of course, Yin Jian clenched his fists at the moment and stared at Jian Ning deadly.
It's just a little bit worse. Jian Ning is dead, why is she always so lucky every time. Always able to save the day.
No, there's a chance. Her dish! There must be something wrong with the taste of the dishes she makes, even if it is good, it is useless, as long as the dishes are not up to par, they can't win!
The little scholar respectfully presented a pair of chopsticks, and Long Zening took it, took a pair of chopsticks and put them in his mouth.
This time, everyone focused their eyes on Long Zening's body, to be exact, his mouth.
Even so, Long Zening still chewed unhurriedly, and his movements were very elegant. I don't know how long it took, when time almost stood still, Long Zening finally spoke: "The taste is very ordinary. ”
Such a result seemed to be expected by everyone, Yin Jian was even more secretly happy, it seemed that Jian Ning could only stop there.
"However, it was this seemingly ordinary taste that gave me a taste of something unusual. It was a warm feeling, a taste of motherhood, a taste of home, a taste of happiness. While everyone was still silent in the previous sentence, Long Zening's later words undoubtedly caused a huge wave.
Yin Jian is even more unbelievable, how is this possible! What is the taste of mother, what is the taste of home, what is the taste of happiness, is that evaluating the dish? This prince is clearly talking nonsense!
However, Yin Jian only dared to roar and curse in his heart, even if he borrowed a gut, he didn't dare to say it.
"Hahaha, she is worthy of being the daughter of Jian Shenchu, this trip today is not in vain! What you said, this king will say it word for word to the emperor, I hope to see you again in Kyoto! Long Zening said to Jian Ning with a smile.
Then as if he noticed Lord Yang who had been kneeling at his feet, Long Zening said impatiently: "This king's words, Lord Yang has heard clearly!" ”
"It's clear and clear, the prince understands it under his consciousness." Lord Yang immediately nodded and said.
"In that case, the king will not be long behind. Lord Yang, get up. After Long Zening finished speaking, he strode towards the door.
At this moment, Lord Yang's body that had just stood up immediately knelt down again, and shouted respectfully: "Xiaguan respectfully sends off the prince, and the prince walks slowly." ”
Seeing this, everyone also knelt down and sent off the prince.
With this episode, the next contestants didn't have the heart to listen to what Jian Ning said, and the whole heart was still beating abnormally.
For the one qiē just now, it was really like a dream, and for a moment I really felt that I had stepped into the palace of Hades.
"Ning'er, it was really dangerous just now, you were about to scare us to death." Liu Leshan thought back to what happened just now, and even his voice was still a little trembling.
Just now, I was really worried that Ning Er would really be sentenced to prison like this, or lose his life, so how could he go to see the master under Jiuquan.
"I'm fine, brother." No matter how many words there are, there is no more precious word at this moment.
The final result can be imagined, because of King Xiang's sentence "I hope to see you in Kyoto", Jian Ning successfully got a place. Of course, in addition to Jian Ning, Yin Jian is also on this list, and there is also a restaurant chef that Jian Ning does not know.
The competition of Jingdingzhou Douyizhuang came to an end.
Since the date of the competition in Kyoto is November 15, and there are still more than 20 days to go, Yin Jian and the other selected candidates did not rush to leave, but stayed in Douyizhuang temporarily.
When Jian Ning returned to her small courtyard, Xiahou Yan had already left, leaving only a short sentence and a jade pendant.
"I'll go first, I'll see you in Kyoto. I'll leave the jade pendant for you as a souvenir. ”
Looking at these few words and touching the jade pendant in her hand, Jian Ning suddenly felt a little sad. I finally believed him and regarded him as a friend, but I didn't expect to be separated so soon.
However, the sadness is only temporary, Jian Ning has not forgotten Jì, she has more important things to do now.
"Xi'er, you go and find Su Tong and come here together." Jian Ning sat in the small hall of the main room and commanded.
Su Tong had been paying attention to the situation in front of her, so naturally she already knew the news of Jian Ning's victory. I originally wanted to leave immediately, but when I thought of this, I didn't admit myself, so I decided to stay for the time being, and I didn't admit it, anyway, she also has a taste failure now, and there is no reason to insist that it is her.
The most important thing is that she saw the man in Fengyang leave. God is really helping her, so that no one will get in the way anymore.
After a while, Xi'er walked in with Su Tong.
Jian Ning looked at Su Tong's slightly lowered head, and motioned for Liu Leshan to bring two bowls of things over.
"Xi'er, Su Tong, you drink all the things in the bowl." Jian Ning said lightly.
Xi'er doesn't know why, but she has always been obedient, and whatever the young lady says is what she is. Hardly thought about it, just nodded, then took a bowl and took a sip.
But as soon as she took a sip, almost subconsciously, Xi'er's brows furrowed tightly, her expression looked very painful, and after swallowing the contents of her mouth with difficulty, she said with a sad face: "It's so sour!" Miss, do you really want to drink it all? This vinegar is too sour! ”
Jian Ning didn't answer immediately, but looked at Su Tong on the other side, and after a while, the entire bowl of vinegar was actually drunk, and she didn't frown, as if she had drunk a bowl of water.
"Don't you know it's vinegar? Don't feel sour? Jian Ning looked at Su Tong and asked.
"It smells sour, like vinegar, but it doesn't taste like it." Su Tong replied with a puzzled face.
"How can it not be sour, I just took a sip, and it was sour." Xi'er said without hesitation.
"Ah Lu, go and see how Steward Zhang is." Jian Ning said to Ruan Zijin. Although she didn't say it explicitly, Ruan Zijin also understood what Jian Ning asked her to do.
In a quarter of an hour or so, Ruan Zijin came back and whispered in Jian Ning's ear: "It's okay, it's normal." (To be continued) R861
