Chapter Eighty-Four: Fight for Strength!
After such a cordial and friendly dinner table exchange, Su Lu gained a new friendship.
For these faceless and skinless guys who came to rub rice, Su Lu had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.
Fortunately, Yun Niang is now very prestigious in the kitchen of Daxiangguo Temple, and there are not ten apprentices under her hands, but also eight, and there are help cooks in tasks such as washing and chopping vegetables, and the workload of making two more dishes is not particularly large.
Otherwise, Su Lu will be killed.
Before leaving, Zhao Zhongjun grabbed Su Chen's hand earnestly, thanked Su Lu again with sincerity, and said that he was familiar with Su Lu at first sight, and he would definitely come to play with him next time.
Su Lu stared at Zhao Zhonglian, and there was obviously a word in his eyes: "Don't think I don't know what you want to do, you shameless rice party, don't want to use hypocritical friendship to blind my wise and sharp eyes."
Zhao Zhongjun was only ten years old in the end, and his face turned red when he was looked at by Su Lu.
Although their family is in an awkward situation, they will not be unable to eat good food.
His mother Gao Taotao is the niece of Empress Cao, and Empress Cao treats them very kindly, as long as they are in Kaifeng, any good things in the palace will give them a copy.
It's just that no matter how good the ingredients are, you have to meet someone who can cook to make them really delicious.
Once you've tasted the best craftsmanship, everyone else has done it!
Zhao Zhongjun's face was pale, and he decided to pay a little price for the rice: "It is said that the treasure knife is given to heroes, and it is too wasteful for good food to meet a great chef, if you get something good next time you go back to our house, I will definitely send it to you." ”
Su Lu was very moved when he heard this, and enthusiastically shook Zhao Zhongjiao's hands: "From today on, we are half-brothers!" ”
Zhao Zhongjun didn't understand it too much, but it sounded like "brotherhood".
Zhao Zhongjun also said enthusiastically: "Okay! ”
The little lady of the Zhao family looked at her brother, and then looked at Su Lu. She looked at Su Lu with a pair of bright eyes, and asked her own question: "Then do I want to call you brother?" ”
The little girl's voice is soft, and with the little face with a little baby fat, it looks very sweet and glutinous.
Su Lu stretched out his evil hand, boldly slammed the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Yes, you can call me brother." Recently, the peach blossoms are about to bloom, and the next time you come over, I will ask Yun Niang to make you peach blossom cakes to eat. ”
Little Lori was stupid and stupid, and shouted honestly: "Brother." ”
Zhao Zhongjun looked at Su Lu's hand, then looked at his sister's little head, and then thought about the delicacy of Su Lu's family.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhao Zhongjun decided to pretend that he didn't see it and left with his sister.
Su Lu put his little hands behind his back, and sighed and thought, this hateful Kaifeng Mansion temptation is too much, you can pick up the emperor's relatives by walking two steps out, fortunately he is a strong-willed person! Wealth can't be lewd, mighty can't be bent, that's what he's talking about!
The day of spring is just around the corner.
Zhang Fangping and Su Jian were still on the way, but Su Shi and they were about to enter the examination room.
This time it was not the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Su Lu did not make moon cakes for Su Shi and them, but only prepared dough cakes and a lot of thin taro chips and yam slices.
Although this thing doesn't taste as good as potato chips, it also clicks when you bite into it, which is perfect for passing the time when you are not inspired.
Such a thin sheet could not hide things, and fortunately it was not broken open for inspection, but it was also examined piece by piece by the official with sharp eyes. Su Shi looked at the bag of snacks that had not been broken, and was very moved, and walked into the examination room with his head held high.
The weather was getting warmer in spring, and Su Lu naturally pulled Su Buwei to send Su Shi and them to the exam.
Seeing the candidates lining up in an orderly manner, and the queue almost lined up from the street to the end of the street, Su Lu sighed: "It's not easy to stand out from so many people." ”
Su Buwei thought so.
This year's chief examiner is Ouyang Xiu, and after he appeared to preside over the opening ceremony, the gate of the Gongyuan was officially closed.
There was no excitement to see, Su Lu was about to return home, but he saw a very familiar figure not far away.
It turned out to be a little monk who was vulgar years ago.
Lingwu followed behind a young man, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he looked quite thoughtful, but he was full of arrogance, revealing a kind of arrogance that was not easy to get close to.
Is this Wang Anshi's son Wang Yan? Su Lu thought back to the other party's name, and deeply felt that the bigwigs didn't consider the feelings of ordinary people at all when they named them, and he didn't know how to write it!
The other party seemed to notice Su Chen's gaze, and turned his head to look at Su Rong.
The two looked at each other.
Su Lu stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, my surname is Su, my single name is one word, and I have met Judge Wang." ”
Wang Yan is here to send Zeng Gong's family to the exam, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong are good friends, and they are still close to each other for two generations, so he should call Zeng Gong "cousin".
This time, Zeng Gong's family had a total of six people to take the exam, which can be said to be very powerful, and he, who was a nephew, stopped by to join in the fun.
Hearing Su Lu report his home, Wang Yan remembered that Lingwu was introduced to their house by Su Yan.
He glanced at Lingwu behind him, he was a picky person, because he was praised for being smart since he was a child, so he also had high requirements for scholars.
It's rare for the spirit to keep up with his thoughts.
Thinking that after his father came back that time, he seemed to be a different person, and he would make time to wash his face every day after that, Wang Yan became a little curious about Su Yan.
Seeing that Su Lu was a few years younger than himself, he asked Su Lu what book he had read? What articles have you written?
When Su Lu heard this, the feeling of numbness on the scalp came again.
Are these damn readers so similar in the way they meet and greet each other?!
Su Lu shook his head again and again, saying that he was still young, he didn't seek to understand much in reading, he didn't write any articles, and he didn't want to discuss learning with others at all.
Wang Yan was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Su Yan decided to change the topic and asked Wang Yan who he was sending to the exam.
Wang Yan modestly introduced the Zeng Gong family to Su Rong, saying that his uncle wrote very good articles, but he was not very good at writing exam-taking essays, so he has been stumbling until now. However, during this period, he carefully taught his four younger brothers, raised nine younger sisters, and his brothers-in-law also studied with him.
This year, Zeng Gonglai took his three younger brothers and two brothers-in-law with him, a total of six, all of whom passed the test with their ability!
Regardless of whether you don't win this spring, it's amazing that a family can have six of them pass the test together.
When Su Lu heard it, Zeng Gong, he knew that he was one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties!
What's the big deal, Zeng Gong is just one of the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties, his third uncle and two cousins, that is the third of the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties!
Three against one, it's clear which is stronger and which is weaker at a glance, right!
Seeing that Wang Yan blew Zeng Gong, Su Yan was not willing to lag behind and said: "My cousin Su Shi, father and son, are also taking the exam together, and they are amazing!" ”
The two of them blew a few rounds of on both side of the test takers, and they both felt a little tired.
They glanced at each other tacitly, and arched their hands to indicate that there would be a period in the future, and decided to wait for the day of the list to compare again.
On the way back, Su Lu pondered for a while, and found that he would definitely win in the long run, but at the moment, Zeng Gong's side was a belt of five, and there were only three players on their side, and Lao Jiang was only four people!
Among these four people, Su Lu could only be sure that his two cousins would definitely be able to win.
It's over, the third uncle and Lao Jiang have to fight for energy!
We Shu people can't lose to their Jiangxi!
The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the face cannot be lost!
