Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Feast of the Whole Fish
Therefore, this meal did not spoil the atmosphere because of his arrival, and everyone ate happily and happily, and ate for two hours before giving up.
After all, the right phase is the right phase, sleek in life, modest, knows how to advance and retreat, judges the situation, and can eat anywhere. did not immediately cut off relations with the Marquis of Zhongyong because he had just been scolded by the emperor.
Li Yan was taken aback, who did the old marquis give him full of wine? Hurriedly snatched the wine jug and poured a glass for the Marquis of Zhongyong.
"It's like human talk!" Marquis Zhongyong's face turned gloomy, and he personally poured a glass of wine for Li Yan.
Li Yan coughed, and hurriedly smiled, "Where, where!" Inuko Sansheng is lucky! It's just that the minister is afraid that the emperor will ......" what he wanted to say, he glanced at Xie Fanghua and waved his hand, "That's it, the matter has come to this, do your best!" If the dog can marry Miss Fanghua, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not treat her badly. ”
"What? My granddaughter married your son, Li Lao'er, are you still wronged? "The Marquis of Zhongyong was not happy.
"The good things he did made him suffer from the emperor's scolding! It's better than me, I didn't let my father scold me back then. Li Yan remembered that he was scolded by the emperor today, and he was aggrieved.
"Have you such a father who demolished his son's platform?" Cui Yun slapped Li Yan hard, "In my opinion, it's much stronger than you were back then." ”
Li Yan looked at Li Muqing, Li Muqing smiled at him and nodded, Li Yan sighed, "This kid has had ideas since he was a child, and when he was not very old, he didn't listen to me. Don't let his appearance fool you. ”
"It's not just about it! It's proficient. Cui Yun laughed, "Your son himself is not familiar with it, and he should be punished for drinking." ”
Entering the main hall, Li Yan was also shocked by the whole fish banquet on the table, and when he heard that Li Muqing made it, he opened his eyes wide, as if he knew his son for the first time, and asked in disbelief, "You still know how to cook?" ”
Everyone waited for a long time with laughter, and the waiter invited Li Yan, the right minister, to hurriedly come to Rongfu Hall.
"Look, that's it! None of us here can do it. Cui Yun said, "When Li Yan comes, I will have a few more drinks with him." When I became an in-law, I had to watch him not bully my niece. ”
Yan Chen smiled and said, "I don't know how to cook!" ”
Xie Yunlan glanced at Li Muqing and Xie Fanghua and shook his head.
Cui Yun laughed, "This meal is not a whole fish feast that anyone can make. At least your uncle can't do it. After the words fell, he looked at Xie Yunlan and Yan Chen on the side, "Have you done it?" ”
Xie Fanghua rubbed his forehead, "Uncle, you can't be bought by him with one meal!" ”
"No joke!" Cui Yun sighed and glanced at Xie Fanghua, "Girl, let him go in the past, whoever is young, if he doesn't have a few romantic affairs, it is not called young and frivolous." In my opinion, Mu Qing is really the most suitable for you. You girl has a cold temperament, a stubborn temper, and admits death, while Mu Qing has a gentle temper and a gentle temperament, and can tolerate you and humbly let you let you go. This kind of temperament is the easiest to get along with. ”
Li Muqing's face was slightly red, "Uncle Cui said with a smile. ”
"Li Yan couldn't make these dishes when he was young, and it was really better than the blue." Cui Yun also patted Li Muqing's shoulder, and loved it tightly, "I had a deep relationship with your father back then, if he chased my sister with such a hand, it would not be Xie Ying's turn." ”
"Yes!" The clerk immediately went.
Marquis Zhongyong patted the seat next to him and praised, "Li boy, my old man has opened his eyes today. When the words fell, he shouted outside, "Come on, go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and invite Li Lao'er to come over for dinner." For such a good whole fish feast, I have to drink two cups with my in-laws. ”
Xie Fanghua wanted to laugh and nodded wordlessly.
"Apologies can't just be talked about, just use these dishes to apologize." Li Muqing approached her and whispered, "Aren't you angry?" ”
She just casually talked about a few kinds of fish, and he did all kinds of them.
"This is really ......" Xie Fanghua didn't know what to say for a while, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Aunt Fu didn't wait for Li Muqing to speak, and answered with a smile on the side, "Yes, Miss, it's all made by Li Gongzi, the slave maid just gave him a hand, Li Gongzi's craftsmanship, if you want me to say, it's not much better than the imperial chef in the palace, look at these dishes, it's really full of color, flavor." Ordinary people can't really do it. If the slave and maid had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it. Miss will have a good mouth in the future. ”
"You ......" Xie Fanghua came back to his senses, "You did it?" ”
Li Muqing couldn't help but smile when he saw her stunned appearance, it was the first time he saw her change her calm expression, so stunned.
When Xie Fanghua saw it, she almost dazzled her eyes.
As Xie Fanghua said, steamed fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, grilled whole fish and so on.
The meal was placed in Rongfu Hall, and this meal could be worthy of a whole fish feast.
After the meal was cooked, Aunt Fu already regarded Li Muqing as her future uncle, and she smiled happily.
Later, Aunt Fu admired and looked at him, and she was even more happy, and remembered that her young lady was injured that day, and he waited in the house for a day until she woke up before leaving. Or he invited Yan Chen's son to save the young lady's arm.
Soon she dispelled her curiosity, Li Muqing not only knew how to cook, but also did it extremely neatly.
Aunt Fu heard that it was the young lady who agreed, hesitated, and saw that Li Muqing had an excellent attitude and was kind, so she couldn't help but like it, nodded in compromise and helped him help, and at the same time curious, although this Li Gongzi is not a gold honor, but he is also from the Prime Minister's Mansion and is second to none. Do you really know how to cook?
"I promised Fanghua, and it won't be hindered if it gets out." Li Muqing smiled, with a gentle attitude and politeness, "I can't do it alone, you can give me a hand!" ”
When Aunt Fu saw that he was going to cook by himself, she was so shocked that she sighed several times, "Master Li, how can this be?" If it spreads, it's a joke that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has no rules, and it actually lets you cook......"
After sending Xie Fanghua back to the room, Li Muqing went down to the kitchen as he said. He used the large kitchen of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.
Xie Fanghua stopped talking when he heard this.
"I was willing!" Li Muqing said.
Xie Fanghua smiled when he heard this, "You just have a number in your heart, dragging the Right Prime Minister's Mansion into the water is really not what I want." ”
"What else could be important? The emperor has been repeatedly frustrated recently, and he can't stand it anymore, so he just called his father into the palace and reprimanded him. Li Muqing didn't care, "My father is also an old minister, he can feel the emperor's temperament clearly, and he is in a hurry to find me, it's not really something, but he has to make a show." ”
"The right minister is in a hurry to find you, there must be something important." Xie Fanghua said.
The chief housekeeper had no choice but to leave in a hurry and return to the right minister's mansion.
The big housekeeper wanted to say more, but the scholar immediately stopped him and said in a low voice, "Childe promised to make fish for Miss Fanghua, you go back quickly!" ”
"I'll go back later, you go back and tell your father, if he can't wait for me, you can come to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." Li Muqing waved his hand and helped Xie Fanghua into the mansion.
"I've returned home from the palace!" The big butler said immediately.
"Didn't my father enter the palace?" Li Muqing asked.
There was no more words all the way, returned to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, got off the carriage, and the chief butler of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion happened to arrive, and when he saw Li Muqing, he immediately wiped his sweat and said, "Son, master, please go back to the house immediately!" ”
The scholar waved his whip, and the carriage headed towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Cheng Ming took two steps back and got out of the way.
"The second son of Zheng is arrogant and willful, domineering and difficult, I thought that no one treated him sincerely, they were all friends of wine and meat, but I didn't expect that there were two sincere." Xie Fanghua finished speaking, lowered the curtain, and cut off Cheng Ming's sight, "Cheng Gongzi, I've finished answering your question, can I go?" ”
Cheng Ming opened his mouth, looked at Xie Fanghua, and couldn't say anything.
Xie Fanghua laughed sarcastically, "He can break the contract, and I can forget it." Li Gongzi likes me, if I change Geng Ti, in the next few decades, although I still don't like him, but it is enough to have a good impression, and I can slowly use time to grind and like him. Doesn't it look like a lifetime? ”
"You ......" Cheng Ming was stunned for a while, unable to refute anything, and said half-loudly, "Do you like him?" Can you forget Brother Qin Zheng? ”
Xie Fanghua looked at Cheng Ming for a moment, the coldness on his face faded, and he suddenly smiled, "At the beginning, I thought that he was forced to marry by the emperor's holy decree, and he had a deep affection for me, and he also said that he would not let go of death." I believed it, and felt that he had to live this life. At that time, sleeping and eating together, it can be regarded as a good person. But he later broke off his relationship and got a wound, which I couldn't recover, and I could be regarded as doing what I could, and I had completed this friendship. Now, the marriage contract has been repented, and the previous relationship has passed. Li Gongzi asked to marry, and his grandfather agreed to the marriage, as long as he didn't dislike me, I naturally wanted to marry him. ”
Cheng Ming looked at Li Muqing with a smile.
Li Muqing's face also sank, and his eyebrows were stained with annoyance, "Cheng Ming! ”
Xie Fanghua's face suddenly turned cold.
Cheng Ming looked at her and gritted his teeth, "When you were with Brother Qin Zheng, it was said that you used to sleep and eat together, and now you really want to marry Li Muqing?" ”
Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows, waiting for him to speak.
Cheng Ming saw that Xie Fanghua was really in Li Muqing's carriage, and she obviously looked like she had just woken up, covered with a thin quilt, and was very close to Li Muqing, his face changed, and he looked at her, "You...... You ......"
Xie Fanghua sat up, approached Li Muqing, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and looked at Cheng Ming indifferently, "Cheng Gongzi, what do you want to say to me?" ”
Li Muqing looked at Xie Fanghua.
"She's not there? I wanted to meet her and ask her a word. Cheng Ming said immediately.
Li Muqing frowned, "What else do you want to say?" ”
Cheng Ming looked at Song Fang, Song Fang shook his head at him and got out of the way, he was a little unwilling, rushed forward again, and grabbed him curtain, "I heard that you took the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion out of the city to visit Qinghu today." Is she in your car now? ”
Seeing this, the scholar immediately said, "Please give way to the two sons!" ”
"Am I still telling a lie?" Li Muqing lowered the curtain and didn't want to talk to him again.
Cheng Ming's face changed, "Did he really say that?" ”
"But the marriage contract has been ruined, I went to the camp of Xishan to find him before I went to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion to propose marriage, and he said to me, who I am willing to marry, just marry, don't bother him." Li Muqing said calmly, "Although I took advantage of the weakness, I can be regarded as saying hello." He also took a stand. Now that you are complaining that I don't care about acquaintance, you might as well go and ask him. ”
Cheng Ming choked, "I naturally know his thoughts, how could he give up?" ”
Li Muqing's eyes narrowed, and his expression faded, "As we all know, it is he who is desperate and plans to regret his marriage." Now that their marriage contract has been broken, why can't I ask for a marriage? Cheng Ming, do you know what he thinks? Just come to fight for him? ”
"How can you marry her? You don't know Qin Zheng's heart for her? You're stabbing him. Cheng Ming seemed very excited, "Friends and wives can't be bullied, what are you doing?" We've known each other since childhood! How can you be this villain who takes advantage of the void? ”
Li Muqing nodded, "I proposed, and the old marquis agreed!" ”
"Do you really want to marry Xie Fanghua?" Cheng Ming's face was very ugly, and when he saw Li Muqing appearing, he asked.
Li Muqing saw her wake up, stretched out his hand to pick up the curtain, his face was gentle, "Brother Cheng Ming, Brother Song Fang, what are you looking for me?" ”
She frowned and opened her eyes.
Xie Fanghua was indeed tired after tossing and turning, and he really fell asleep when he got into the carriage, but after entering the city, he was woken up by this sound.
The scholar who was driving the carriage glanced at the two people who were blocking the carriage, and could only stop the carriage and say to the inside of the carriage, "Childe, it was Cheng Gongzi and Song Gongzi who stopped the carriage." ”
Just after walking a short distance, two people stopped the carriage, and one of them shouted angrily, "Li Muqing, stop!" ”
When Li Muqing's carriage entered the city, someone sent him a message that the emperor had summoned the right minister into the palace, he nodded and said, "Got it." He continued to walk towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Half an hour later, the right minister hurried into the palace.
"Yes!" Wu Quan immediately withdrew from the dormitory.
"Can't he take care of his son? Didn't he say that he responded to the three-day change of Geng post? The Emperor patted the bed, "Go and call him to me." ”
Wu Quan hurriedly said, "The emperor is angry, the person who went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to propose his relatives is Li Muqing himself, and he doesn't know about it from time to time." ”
"Go and call me for the right minister!" The Emperor was annoyed, "I asked him, did he really want his son to marry Xie Fanghua?" ”
"Your Majesty......" Wu Quan exclaimed as he looked at the broken medicine bowl.
Today, Li Muqing and Xie Fanghua's every move when they went out to Qinghu was in front of the emperor, and finally heard that the dozens of hidden guards sent were all lost in Li Muqing's hands, and he dropped the medicine bowl in a rage.
The carriage returned to the capital, and before it entered the city, the emperor in the palace had already received the news.
Xie Fanghua said "um".
Li Muqing stretched out his hand and pulled the thin quilt over her, and said softly, "If you're tired, sleep well." ”
After Xie Fanghua got into the car, he lay down lazily and closed his eyes.
Li Muqing helped Xie Fanghua get off the boat, got into the carriage, and left Qinghu.
"Yes!" One bowed.
He waved his hand, "It's all dealt with, don't leave a trace!" ”
Half an hour later, more than a dozen dead royal guards were all fallen to the ground, and Li Muqing's people also lost more than 20 people.
The banks of the river were filled with carnage and blood.
Xie Fanghua stopped talking, Li Muqing was not afraid of the emperor, and helped her get on the first step from the Fafo Temple to the people sent by the emperor to ask for scriptures.
Li Muqing winked at her, "The assassination didn't dare to expose the token and identity, and it was a secret decree." After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Even if it's a clear order, I'm not afraid to arrive." If one does not leave behind, the corpse will be destroyed, and the emperor will not be able to blame. ”
"These people are royal guards." Xie Fanghua said.
Li Muqing smiled at her, "If I take you out to play, I will naturally protect your safety." ”
She turned her head to look at Li Muqing.
Li Muqing and these people were obviously ambushed here early in the morning, I am afraid that there are his people around Qinghu on this side.
The emperor is really persevering and unrelenting!
Xie Fanghua recognized that these black-clothed people had the same aura as the hundreds of black-clothed people who broke into the Haitang Garden of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion on the day of the division of the clan, and they were obviously the dead guards of the royal family. There is no need to guess, naturally he came to kill her.
The three of them, the painter, the ink, and the scholar, couldn't use it anymore, so they withdrew from the standing circle and stood aside.
After Li Muqing stood firm on the boat, he whistled softly, and after the whistle sounded, about a hundred guards rushed out from the mountains on both sides. Instantly besieged these men in black.
The painter, the ink, and the scholar were shocked, and they all drew their swords and stopped in front of them.
Li Muqing instantly took Xie Fanghua and retreated, and retreated to the boat.
The two had just taken two steps when suddenly a murderous aura came from the woods, and immediately after, more than a dozen black-clothed men swung their knives and slashed at the two.
Li Muqing threw the prize, helped Xie Fanghua get off the boat, and walked towards the carriage.
An hour later, the two boats came to shore.
Li Muqing never spoke again.
Xie Fanghua sat quietly on the boat, looking at the green mountains and green waters on both sides, paddling with oars, rolling up layers of ripples, as if cast into her heart lake. She thought about something, but she didn't think about anything.
When you come, it's a smooth wind, and when you go back, it's naturally a headwind. But Li Muqing was easy to support the boat, and he couldn't see how laborious it was.
The two boats returned the same way after a short time.
The three of them, the painter, the ink, and the scholar, also hurriedly went over to re-support the boat.
Li Muqing let go of Xie Fanghua and helped her sit down on the boat again.
The scholars of the painter, the ink, and Li Muqing, the three of them were all relieved when they saw that the two had reconciled. Waiter painting and waiter ink think about where Li Gongzi won't coax people? is obviously very good at coaxing people, and everything has been said to the young lady's heart.
Li Muqing suddenly smiled, "Okay! ”
"When you go home, you cook, steam, brise, boil, and grill fish in the house." Xie Fanghua said, "You can also let grandpa, uncle, brother Yunlan, and Yan Chen try your craftsmanship." ”
"But I promised you a grilled fish......" Li Muqing saw that she was not angry, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice was soft.
Xie Fanghua closed his eyes, and the hand that was about to push Li Muqing away slowly fell, and said in a low voice, "I'm a little tired, let's go back!" ”
The ordinary happiness that many people in the world can get casually is a luxury for the young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
Idle look at the flowers and trees, boating on the blue lake, and live a dull life......
