Chapter XXV
Liu Yucian saw Chen Youze first, and she hurriedly got up to give a salute, "Uncle is here." ”
Chen Youze sat in a wheelchair, and first saluted Chen Jinyue, "Father." Chen Jinyue nodded at him. Then, Chen Youze saluted Liu Yucian and said, "Youze has seen my sister-in-law. ”
Chen Wanyan smiled sweetly at Chen Youze, "Second uncle, look, my father is trying my brother's martial arts." As he was talking, Chen Youzong and Chen Tianhao had already come down from the field, and the maids on the side were busy handing over white towels, letting the eldest young master and young master wipe their hands, and handing tea for them to quench their thirst.
Chen Tianhao respectfully saluted Chen Youze, "Second uncle, you are here." Chen Youze nodded, "Look at your table today, it's not in vain, it's not in vain after many days of hard work." ”
"Haha, second brother, you came just in time" Chen Youzong handed the wiped towel to the maid, put the long sword in his hand into the sheath, and let the family take it, "Help me try Tianhao, the poetry and books in the abdomen." ”
Chen Youze was about to excuse himself, but Chen Youzong pressed one hand on his shoulder vigorously, and looked at him with blazing eyes, "Don't refuse, in our Chen Gongfu, you are the most talented, if Hao'er can pass your level, it means that he has real materials." ”
Chen Tianhao took a sip of the tea handed over by the maid, and when he heard his father say this, he hurriedly swallowed the tea in his mouth, and said to Chen Youze, "What my father said is very true, second uncle, don't show mercy." ”
"Haha! Okay" Chen Jinyue, who had been smiling and silent beside him, suddenly came to such a voice, "Youze, you will take the test Tianhao, I also want to see how Tianhao is strength, maybe in the coming day you can include the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, and even the middle three yuan is still unknown." ”
Chen Youze heard his father's words, nodded lightly and expressed his willingness to take over the matter, and then opened the folding fan with a snap, shook it gently, and looked at Chen Tianhao with a smile on his face, "In this way, I will take the test Tianhao." How about pairs? Chen Tianhao agreed.
At this time, it is early autumn, and the autumn is crisp and clear. The larks in the sky sometimes fly overhead, and occasionally a long song pierces the sky, making people's mood feel comfortable and empty. Most of the leaves have turned yellow, but some of them are still green, and when the autumn wind rises, the emerald yellow is shaken to the ground, and the dark green is blown into light yellow.
Chen Youze chanted the upper link "Autumn is high and the wind is chasing the leaves"
Chen Tianhao opened his mouth and came to "spend the full moon and rain with the wind"
Chen Wanyan immediately applauded, "Brother, you are so amazing!" Liu Yucian hurriedly stepped in to stop her, "I taught you just now, and you forgot about it so quickly?" Everyone should have the appearance of everyone's girlfriends. Besides, such a simple pair, even I can match it, what is there to be happy about when he comes out, if he doesn't come out, it's called strange. ”
Chen Tianhao also nodded, and said to Chen Youze, "Second uncle, don't let me, although don't worry about me, if your nephew can't come out, you should go back and work hard." ”
Chen Youze, Chen Youze, and Chen Jinyue all nodded, Tianhao's ambition is not bad.
"Morning and twilight, after the flowers bloom, they will be empty." Chen Youze gave the upper link.
"Year after year, when winter ends, it will be spring." Chen Tianhao also easily made the next link.
Chen Youze's face was overjoyed, and then asked, "Tianhao, can you give a horizontal criticism of this couplet?" Chen Tianhao groaned slightly, "Wufu Minkang, what does the second uncle think?" ”
Chen Youze smiled and said nothing, but Chen Wanyan hurriedly said, "I think the horizontal batch of 'desperate life' is better, although the flowers are empty, winter and spring are coming, it is exactly the meaning of desperate life." Liu Yucian glared at her, "What is never-ending, you girl, why are you always babbling, open-mouthed, not like a mother at all." ”
Chen Wanyan lowered her head timidly, and Chen Youze smiled: "Wanyan's horizontal criticism is absolutely amazing." Not bad. ”
Liu Yucian was anxious, "Oh, you guys don't stop." Wan Yan, go to the backyard with your mother to choose some Jinpa, two days later, you will be able to use it in the food competition in the house. ”
"What food competition?" Old Master Chen Jinyue and Young Master Chen Youzong asked at the same time.
Liu Yucian hurriedly replied respectfully to the old man Chen Jinyue, "Back to my father-in-law, next month is the triennial food competition of our Tianqi country, and the queen mother has appointed ten mansions, and each house has two chefs to compete for the top three in the food competition." The winners of this year's gastronomic contest will be rewarded as they have been in previous years, and will also be seconded to the palace to prepare a meal for a feast. ”
"Oh?" Chen Jinyue turned his body to Liu Yucian with interest: "What kind of feast in the palace?" ”
"I don't know about my daughter-in-law here."
Chen Youzong suddenly thought of something at this time, "Could it be that the feast in the palace is the crowning banquet prepared for the six princes?" ”
Chen Jinyue stroked the beard on his chin and nodded, "Well, it's possible." It seems that the emperor is now paying more and more attention to the six princes. Youzong. ”
"Father." Chen Youzong hurriedly responded.
"Find an opportunity to get acquainted with the six princes, make more friends, and don't wait until the situation is clear. The icing on the cake is not worth sending charcoal in the snow. Chen Jinyue's voice was lazy, but every word was fine.
"Yes, father. However, I have already met the six princes, and this time the six princes returned to Beijing, and I led the team to escort them. Chen Youzong replied.
Chen Jinyue nodded and continued, "As soon as the six princes return to Beijing, they must abide by the rules of the palace, and there are not many opportunities for you to meet. This food competition is a good opportunity, if the chef of the house wins the championship and enters the palace to serve food, then we will win the favor of the saint and the princes, and when the meritorious deeds are rewarded, we can dare to invite the six princes to the palace as guests. ”
"That's right!" Chen Youzong nodded, then turned his head to Liu Yucian and said, "Jade Cicada, this time we must send the strongest chef in the mansion to participate in the competition." ”
"Well, that's why I'm just going to have a food competition in the house two days later, and the top two will be decided to participate in the food competition in the house next month." Liu Yucian replied with a smile.
Chen Jinyue nodded approvingly, "With Jade Cicada in charge of the family's affairs, I am the most relieved." Two days later, who are the judges of the food judges? ”
"Back to my father-in-law, Jade Cicada plans to take it all in, so I am the only judge at present."
"Then how can it be done" Chen Jinyue shook his head, "One person's judgment is inevitably biased, so let's do it, the four of us will be the judges of this food competition." Chen Jinyue pointed to a few people and designated Liu Yuchan, Chen Youzong, Chen Youze, and himself as judges.
"Grandpa, and me?" Chen Wanyan hurriedly protested.
"I'm going to participate too." Chen Tianhao was not to be outdone.
"Haha! Good. Both of you are also participating, but you are still too young for your opinions to refer to. Chen Jinyue said with a laugh.
