Chapter 259: Intensifying
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Qian Yuan, who went to bed very late the night before, only got up after Keqing and Xiangling urged him three times in a row.
I went to Yanfu yesterday, and I have to go to Xufu once today, when can I sleep and wake up naturally?
"Uncle, don't worry, eat breakfast first before leaving." Qian Yuan sat down lazily after freshening up, today he nominally visited Xu She, so he specially asked Zhang Juzheng to accompany him.
"There's no hurry." Zhang Juzheng's eyes are obviously a little dark, and he has been living in Suiyuan these days, fighting night and night...... It's a pity that he can't beat Xu Wei.
I have to say that Xu Wei is too smart, he can play anything, he is a veteran in a few days after he got started, and his luck is still very strong.
Qian Yuan found an excuse to slip away after a few laps on the first day of the new year, for which Xu Wei was very excited, and specially splashed ink to draw a picture to commemorate.
"I don't know if I will keep food at noon...... Qian Yuan grumbled while gobbling it up: "Even if you keep food...... Anyway, I didn't eat enough in Yanfu yesterday. ”
"That is, even the imperial dining room is not as good as you." Zhang Juzheng is slow and gentle, but his speed is not slower than Qian Yuan.
This is true, just for breakfast, Qian Yuan has made eighteen tricks, but he doesn't need to do it himself, the cook has already learned everything.
Today, we served tofu brain, fried dough sticks, fried eggs, glutinous rice cakes, shredded radish pies, plum slices and lotus root porridge, and even a bowl of hot dry noodles.
Qian Yuan glanced at Zhang Juzheng, and added chili, shallots, seaweed, and mustard to the tofu brain with an expressionless face, and dropped a few drops of sesame oil.
Zhang Juzheng's hand holding the spoon paused, dug a spoonful of candy hard, and muttered, "It's too stingy to open a sugar shop at home!" ”
Qian Yuan simply half-turned around, trying to keep the bowl of heretical tofu brains out of his sight.
Gu Chengzhi won't go today, only Zhang Juzheng accompanied Qian Yuan to Xu's Mansion, there was no way, Gu Chengzhi accompanied him everywhere to be looked at...... Most of them are fellow villagers, and Xu Fu must know it.
You must know that Xu Jie's house asked the Yue family to ask Lu Shusheng about Qian Yuan's marriage the year before last, where was Qian Yuan willing to give such a wrong signal.
Honestly handed over the post according to the rules and lined up to enter the house, but Xu Jie's face project did a better job than Yan Song, there was a row of sedan chairs outside Yan's house, and Xu Mansion tried to let everyone sit down in the front hall, of course, this is also the reason why there are not many officials who visit Xu Mansion.
The front hall is not big or small, about a dozen people are chatting, no need for Zhang Juzheng to introduce, Qian Yuan has already gotten up, most of them are fellow villagers in Songjiang, although they are all under the Xu Jiemen, but Huating Qian is intertwined in Songjiang Mansion, and there is always incense.
As soon as Qian Yuan came in, the front hall quieted down, and everyone first looked at Qian Yuan carefully, and then turned their heads or looked at Xu Fan, who was accompanying the guests, out of the corner of their eyes.
Three years ago, Qian Yuan and Xu Fan were on the street of Suzhou City, and the one two months ago was even more eye-catching...... There were already two slightly younger gentlemen who got up and prepared to pull the rack.
"Zhan Cai is here." Xu She, who was sitting on the main seat, got up casually to greet him, "Uncle, I haven't seen you for half a month, and I am fat and strong, it seems that Suiyuan is really worthy of its reputation." ”
Light laughter sounded in the hall, they were all fellow villagers, Qian Yuan often invited people from Zhejiang, Suzhou, and Songjiang to the banquet in Suiyuan, and the wonders of the Nanzhili Township Test were widely spread, at least Songjiang people knew that Qian Yuan had good cooking skills.
"I still remember the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago, when Zhancai made moon cakes and distributed them." A middle-aged scribe smiled: "The taste is so good that even Hiraizumi Gong will never forget it." ”
"That's why Hiraizumi Gong took Zhancai under his command."
There was another burst of chuckles, this laughter fell on Qian Yuan's ears, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, Yan Song and Xu Jie are actually no different, but Yan Shifan is a maverick, so today he laughed lightly, but yesterday he laughed wildly.
To be honest, Qian Yuan still prefers yesterday's atmosphere......
Xu Shi smiled again: "Someone worked hard for today's lunch yesterday, it's a pity, it......'s a pity, it's a pity."
Seeing that the eyes of a few people turned to Xu Fan, Qian Yuan smiled and patted his belly, "So I ate ten percent full this morning, Wanghu Gong can rest assured, he has a large stomach and can accommodate it." ”
Since Qian Yuan entered the main hall and became the focus of attention, Xu Fan was very unhappy, in fact, when Qian Yuan didn't come, he was also the topic of everyone's chat.
Xu Fan was very puzzled, obviously the Qian family and the Xu family had old grudges, it was clear that Qian Yuan had an enmity with him, and he had refused to marry, why were everyone so tolerant?
Hearing such non-yin and non-yang words, Xu Fan's heart was angry, Huo Ran got up and pointed at Qian Yuan's nose, "You ......"
"Shut up!" Xu Shi slapped the table.
For Xu Fan, he has more respect than fear for his father Xu Jie, but he is more afraid than respectful of his uncle Xu She, who has disciplined him since he was a child.
The room fell silent.
Just as he was embarrassed, someone paced in, and when he saw Qian Yuan, he made a long salute, "This is Huating Yingjie Qian Zhancai?" ”
"Don't dare to be a hero." Qian Yuan didn't know this person, so he avoided returning the salute, "Sir?" ”
"Haha, I'll introduce you." Xu Shi walked over and said with a smile: "This is also the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, Jiaxing Pinghu Lu Guangzu, the word and the rope, and was transferred back to Beijing at the end of last year to serve as a member of the Ministry of Officials. ”
"Senior Lu." Qian Yuan re-gave the salute, he knew this Lu Guangzu, Xu Jie's sworn friend, and later served as the official of the Ministry of Heaven twice, even among the twenty-six years of Jiajing, which was full of cattle people.
And in history, Lu Guangzu and Shaoxing Chen Younian and Sun Yan are known as the "Three Sages Dazai in Zhejiang", and they have an excellent relationship...... Well, the other two are now regulars at the park.
The evaluation of Lu Guangzu in the history books is: "There is no joke in private life, no shame, pity and talent in his life, no suspicion and resentment, and he has the style of an ancient master." ”
Translated, this is to say that Lu Guangzu never jokes even if he is not in public, he does not discuss right and wrong behind his back, he always has a smile on his face, he is willing to do things, and he likes to promote his juniors.
Lu Guangzu avoided Qian Yuan's gift, and returned the salute, "Last year, the Japanese invaded Jiaxing from Pinghu Zhapu, and my mother, second brother, and Ji brother took their families to avoid Chongde County. ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the first battle of Chongde was the beginning of Qian Yuan's reputation that began to spread all over the world, and Qian Yuan could afford Lu Guangzu's gift.
Everyone sat down again, and as soon as Qian Yuan's buttocks fell, a servant came in to report that it was impossible for Xu Jie to meet everyone, but only to receive them selectively.
The servant bowed down and whispered a few words to Xu She, who looked at Qian Yuan in surprise, hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Fan'er, you took Zhancai to the backyard to meet your mother." ”
Xu Fan and Qian Yuan were stunned.
Qian Yuan grinned and thought to himself, what does Xu Jie, the old fox, want to do!?
Xu Fan didn't dare not listen, got up and stared at Qian Yuan coldly, his eyes were full of disdain.
"Hehe, Brother Xu, please first." Qian Yuan was not so polite to Xu Fan, and turned back to Xu Shi while walking: "Wanghu Gong, the juniors worship under the Pingquan Gongmen......
Everyone turned their heads in unison.
"The first township test was successful, and it was really thanks to the teaching of Pingquan Gong." Qian Yuan smiled gently: "The Pingquan public family law is a stick. ”
Xu Fan's footsteps paused, and he immediately sped up and escaped.
Until the two of them walked out of a long way, the hall was still silent, everyone was thinking, some things are really three years old to see the old, although Qian Yuan is now famous all over the world, but his sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed character has not changed at all, and it has intensified.
Those present were either Songjiang people or Xu Jie's family members, and they all knew that Xu Mansion's family law had changed from a ring ruler to a rattan two months ago......
Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting on the far side, turned his head and looked into the distance, and could faintly see Qian Yuan's figure, and he was a little no longer there.
has been famous since he was a child, and he chose Hanlin at a young age, and he said that the scenery is infinite, but Zhang Juzheng found that every time he was with Qian Yuan, he could never stand in the center.
