After the arrival of the King of Shu, Huang Qiong did not follow the group of snobs and went up to ask for warmth with false affection, but with a faint smile on his face, he stood at the gate of the mansion to watch. Maybe it's to compensate Huang Qiong, maybe it's really not intentional, and he's in the same league with those guys, and King Yong has not passed. Just accompany him at the gate of the mansion, anyway, there is not much more than him in front.

The two of them didn't come over, but that doesn't mean that the people over there won't come. After greeting with a group of brothers, the King of Shu came to King Yong, stretched out his hand and hammered this guy and said, "You kid won't be disgusted that I'm late, pick on me." Let me tell you, I spent the night in the palace yesterday, and now I just came out of the palace. I didn't even change my clothes, and I came to you. ”

When King Shu said this, King Yong sneered and said, "I also want to go up to greet you, but can I squeeze up?" Although the brothers in Beijing are said to be the eldest except for the crown prince, I am the oldest. But I, who is the second brother now, is far less majestic than our eldest brother. Don't you see another person next to me? Come, let me introduce you to it. ”

It's just that King Yong was about to open his mouth, but was stopped by the King of Shu. After looking at Huang Qiong carefully for a while, the King of Shu smiled and said, "I guess the brother of this first-class talent is the ninth brother." I often hear that Concubine Jing learned to be rich and five cars, and the people who want to come out must be different from us ordinary people. When I saw the ninth brother today, he was really fresh and handsome. ”

Speaking of this, the King of Shu waved his hand, and a guard behind him handed over a box on his face. After taking the box, the King of Shu stuffed the box into Huang Qiong's hand before saying, "I only learned about the matter of the ninth brother when I arrived in the capital. came in a hurry, and didn't bring any gifts to the ninth brother. A little careful, and ask the ninth brother to smile. ”

Seeing the extraordinarily gorgeously packaged box stuffed into his hand by the King of Shu, Huang Qiong hurriedly said: "Thank you Fifth Brother for your concern, Fifth Brother has traveled thousands of miles all the way, and the younger brother failed to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Fifth Brother in time, but there is the Fifth Brother Lao who misses it, and the little brother is really worthy of this gift." ”

"The ninth brother said that he went there. Let's not talk about you and me. Just because you leave the palace and go to the house, can't I, the fifth brother, give a gift? The commoner's home still pays attention to the joy of a housewarming, not to mention that you and I are close brothers? For Huang Qiong's humility, the King of Shu at least liked it very much.

After stuffing the gift into Huang Qiong's hand, the King of Shu turned his head and said to King Yong, who was hanging aside by him: "I said, I have arrived in front of your mansion, if you don't take the initiative to greet me, forget it, and now you won't even let me." Are you planning to let us drink the northwest wind just outside your house? ”

Regarding King Shu's ridicule, King Yong rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Let's go, I know that you are delicious, and I can't lose your mouth." But what about the good wine in Shu that you promised? After drinking those wines of yours, the other wines of this Jingzhao Mansion will be tasteless. You can't just transfer other people's gluttony and leave it alone, if you bring less today, don't blame me for turning my face with you. ”

"Also, you don't have to bring any gifts to Lao Jiu, and you will stumble on others here. If you want to send it, give him a cart of books, and I guess he will like it more. Don't you know, when this kid left the palace, he didn't have anything except a few clothes, but the book pulled two whole carts. ”

Maybe he wanted to win back some face in front of the King of Shu, or maybe he didn't want Huang Qiong to show any outstanding talent in front of this concubine of the middle palace, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Huang Qiong, King Yong said that Huang Qiong was a nerd-like person. It's just that the speaker has no intention or no intention, but in the ears of the King of Shu, it becomes an intentional sound.

King Yong's voice fell, and the King of Shu looked at Huang Qiong again with a deep meaning before he smiled: "It turns out that the ninth brother likes such elegant things, but I, the elder brother, seem a little cheesy." Chengdu is known as the Jinguan City and has always been a place where the southwest humanities gather. The former Tang royal family moved the capital to Chengdu twice. ”

"In the Tang Palace back then, there were some rare books in Chengdu. The matter of the ninth brother, the fifth brother wrote it down. The next time he comes back, the fifth brother will definitely help the ninth brother collect some rare books and rare books. The ninth brother is a rare scholar among our brothers. Since he has this preference, the fifth brother will definitely help with this favor. ”

Hearing the conversation between the King of Shu and Huang Qiong, King Yong rolled his eyes a little unbearably and said, "Okay, both of you are scholars, just me as a ruffian who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it." Don't be sour here, what's the point to go in and say no, you have to grind and chirp here? ”

"Since the fifth brother is going to stay in the capital for a while, there will be opportunities to meet in the future, if you two want to be sour, either go to your other courtyard or go to his Hejian Palace, anyway, don't be sour in front of me, a famous bastard. A group of you princes are here to be the door gods for me, and I can't afford this small temple. ”

After that, King Yong dragged one with one hand and dragged King Shu and Huang Qiong into his mansion. The king of Shu entered, and the other brothers naturally had no need, in the words of King Yong, to be the door god for him. Yongwang has never been the kind of person who rules the rules, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he took the brothers directly to a dining place in a garden in Yongwang's mansion.

It's just that when he sat down, the King of Shu held Huang Qiong's hand and didn't let go, and bluntly said that he wanted to sit with the ninth brother. The King of Shu is a style, and others are naturally not easy to say. The king of Shu here is the oldest, and he is the son of the middle palace, so he naturally speaks strongly. Although the other princes were very unimpressed, the king of Yong did not object, so they did not say much.

When everyone was seated, King Yong waved his hand. A maid brought the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, like flowing water. As soon as he saw the banquet prepared by King Yong, Huang Qiong shook his head a little bit. The famous Yellow River carp in Luoyang City is a little unpopular on this table.

Except for the seafood due to inconvenient transportation, there are only some dried scallops, sea cucumbers and the like, and the rest of the dishes are all mountain delicacies. There are some things that Huang Qiong had heard of in his previous life, but because these things, such as bear paws, tiger whips and the like, have been eaten as special protected animals, so although he has been a human in two lives, he has not seen them.

There are some things that Huang Qiong has seen, but even if he was a little wealthy in his previous life, he probably can't afford to eat them. For example, the bowl of chicken tongue soup can only be made with at least nearly 100 chickens and ducks. Even high-end mountain delicacies such as bear paws are still in place. In front of everyone present, there is a stewed tiger whip and a bear paw.

As for venison, roe sinews and the like, they can only be regarded as popular dishes on this table. It's just these things, and I don't know if these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren are tired of eating, or if they have developed the habit of cherishing food in the royal family since childhood. Except for the stewed tiger whip that was eaten cleanly, the rest of the things were just a few chopsticks per person and tasted lightly.

Looking at the mountains piled up on the table, there is nowhere to place these delicacies of the mountains and seas that have not been moved at all. In Huang Qiong's opinion, this table is conservatively estimated to cost about one or two thousand yuan, why these princes have no appetite, Huang Qiong doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know.

And the reason why he himself has no appetite is because looking at this sumptuous banquet, he thinks of Jia Quan, who has no money to bury his father when he dies and can only sell himself to bury his father, and thinks of the homeless people he saw in the outer city that day, who are not clothed and hungry. The scene in front of me corresponds to the sentence of the former Tang Dynasty poet Bai Letian: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Seeing that Huang Qiong was just picking a few light dishes and eating a few bites, he put down the chopsticks in his hand. I don't know what King Yong was thinking about at this time, after giving him a chopstick sea cucumber, he said with some confusion: "What, these dishes don't meet the appetite of the ninth brother?" These bear paws, but they are all your seventh brother and I accompanied the old man to Chang'an last year to worship the ancestors, and I personally beat them in Zhongnan Mountain. ”

"After it was dried, I was never willing to eat it. And these venisons, which I arranged for someone to buy alive, were all killed this morning. The chef who renovated this banquet was also the chef of Pinyue Xuan, the most famous restaurant in Jingzhao Mansion. Although it can't be compared with the old man's royal banquet, when it comes to the freshness of the ingredients, we are not bad. ”

Hearing King Yong's words of concern, Huang Qiong, who knew that he only really cared about himself, hurriedly said: "Seventh brother's table today can be said to have delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is not suitable for the appetite of the younger brother. It's just that the younger brother has eaten light since he was a child, and he has become accustomed to light. Today's dish is really a little greasy, and the younger brother is afraid that he will not be able to stand it when he goes back after eating too much. ”

Maybe it was because he was thinking about the more exciting programs in the future, and it was extremely rare to face the good wine in Shu brought by the King of Shu, and it was only a taste of King Yong, who heard the words and pointed to a cup of things that had just been brought up by the maid, and said with a smile: "Since the ninth brother is not used to it, then the elder brother will not force you." This cup is specially prepared for greasy use today. You taste it, it's definitely suitable. ”

Looking at the milk-soaked red dates that King Yong specially recommended and just put on the table in front of everyone, Huang Qiong thought that this was the milk stewed red dates that he had not eaten less in his previous life, so he drank it disapprovingly. Although the taste is a little weird, it doesn't feel special. On the contrary, he felt that the table was full of wine and food, which was the most in line with his appetite, and he also praised a few words.

Hearing Huang Qiong's praise, King Yong said very proudly: "This thing is not an ordinary thing, it is an ancient recipe I got from the Tai Hospital. It is a red date stewed with a woman's milk, which is the best for decanting wine, and it is also a great supplement. Think of a baby who can't eat anything, and grows up on breast milk, and the essence of this thing can be seen? ”

"And this red date is not made with water. Instead, the girl who chooses the first arrival of the geranium, and the girl who has not yet broken her body will place the dried jujube on her lower body after the menstrual affairs are clean, and the so-called yin jujube made of her own essence is made. Here, even the yin things, you can get rid of the greasy after eating it. ”

It's just that King Yong is very proud here, but Huang Qiong, who had just finished eating a date next to him, almost didn't spit it out on the spot when he heard the words. It's okay with human milk, anyway, I grew up eating this when I was a child. It's a little bit like that, but it's not disgusting. But the origin of this jujube made Huang Qiong feel disgusting.

Looking at the bowl of so-called red dates in front of her, Huang Qiong struggled to suppress the disgusting feeling in her heart. Regarding King Yong's invitation, Huang Qiong could only shake her head speechlessly: "Seventh Brother's hobby is really a bit special. It's okay, it's okay. Just said that it was okay, but Huang Qiong decided in her heart that she wouldn't touch this thing even if she was killed.

However, although Huang Qiong is not interested, it does not mean that the others present are not interested. As soon as I heard this thing of King Yong, it actually came from such a background. The other princes, even if they hadn't eaten a mouthful of wine and food before, also picked up and ate this thing completely, and kept applauding loudly.
