Chapter 463: Wonderful, Gift-giving
Zhang Shou felt at first that Chef Song came to him to toast and talk, just because he was depressed, but he didn't expect people to talk a lot, and finally turned to a more normal topic, and he was worried about whether the quarrel with Princess Yongping would matter, and he was worried about whether he would be held accountable.
He took a sip while listening, drank all the rice wine in the small wine glass in his hand, and then said with a smile: "If you want to be investigated, you were beaten out at the scene, or you were escorted to where you were locked up, where will I take you back?" Besides, didn't Fourth Master Hua come up and intercede for you? Didn't the princess and the celebrant that Gonggong Chu do not care about themselves after that? β
Although Zhang Shou said lightly, Song Juren smiled, tilted his head drunkenly and said: "I have only met Hua Siye once in total, people are a few years older than me, and they are already the head of the Hua family in Suzhou, but I am a child of the Song family who has to rely on the family to support me, and he pleaded for me, which is just an excuse to go up to the third floor and get close to the big guys!" β
I can't see that this very strange Song Juren is indeed quite sharp in some aspects!
Zhang Shou raised his evaluation of Song Juren a little, at least he raised the person from a simple and stupid second stunned person to a slightly sophisticated chef, but he was too lazy to think about it most of the time. So, he smiled lightly: "In short, no matter whether Fourth Master Hua is false or sincere, his plea, the princess accepted it." All in all, you put 10,000 hearts. β
"The princess used to be famous in the capital for liking to recommend talented people, and seeing that a dignified person like you disregarded the ancient precept of a gentleman and a chef, she couldn't help but hate iron and steel, and that dispute was nothing at all. Even if you take the crooked path to compete, as long as you do make good things, there is nothing suspicious about your identity, and no one will pursue you. β
"Perhaps, with the emperor's maverick character, he will remember you as a talent."
If it were another scholar, he would definitely think that the word "talent" was sarcastic, and the so-called emperor would remember it and ridicule it, at this time, he would be like thunder, sneering at each other, and at worst, he would brush his sleeves and leave, cutting his robe and breaking his righteousness - of course, Song Juren and Zhang Shou are not familiar with each other, and they are still a little closer to the degree of cutting their robes and breaking their righteousness - and Song Juren's reaction at this time is indeed far from the category of ordinary people.
"Will the emperor remember me as a talent? Remember my cooking? If I go to open a store right now, will the emperor come to taste it because he heard about me? Oh, how am I supposed to entertain then......"
Zhang Shou watched Song Juren start to circle in front of him with an empty wine bowl, and he was so angry and funny that he was simply angry and funny. There are still people in this world who are so good at brain supplementation!
After laughing at it, he felt that the dispute between Song Juren and Princess Yongping before was not strange at all. Song Juren is obviously a person who lives in his own world many times, and the reason why he will take the exam is just because his family is forced, his talent is good, he is probably very diligent in reading, and he is also very good at pretending to be a pleasant goat, but in fact, he is a gray wolf.
It seems that this description is not very accurate, but all in all, it is okay if this kind of person does not expose his true nature, once exposed, he will fight for a win or loss in front of Emperor Lao Tzu! Therefore, Princess Yongping was angry and cried, and Zhu Ying would also be wrong.
He coughed and reminded, "Wake up, wake up first!" Brother Song, you are still the guest of my garden, and your shop is still not a word, don't dream of the emperor visiting in person! β
Song Juren's round and round finally stopped, he pressed his brain to calm down the hot and equally dizzy brain, but just now he saw someone toast Zhang Shou and drank two more bowls, and then he drank a few more bowls with people, and then personally stepped forward to toast Zhang Shou and drank a bowl again, the amount of alcohol was actually not very smart, and he was indeed a little drunk.
I like the atmosphere of the market very much, so I just played with a few little guys, although the shouting was loud, in fact, he lost a lot, at this time he didn't feel that he had drunk too much, shook his head, and saw that a group of boys over there were gathering in twos and threes to discuss something, and finally turned around, looked at Zhang Shou and laughed.
"Dr. Zhang, I envy you, not only the fiancΓ©e who is beautiful and has a bright temperament, but also the elders in the family who don't care about their heads, and the king who can trust you. But I envy your ...... the most now"
He waved his hand violently, pulled hard, and circled the people all over the yard: "What I envy you most now is that for a birthday, so many people are sincerely happy for you, I wish you a long time!" Really, I can see that those boys are really happy, not just to have a good time eating and drinking today, I have heard people whispering how to give you a congratulatory gift! β
Because the movement was too big, Song Juren's feet slipped and he almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Shou felt that he was not in the right state just now, and stepped forward to grab the person, but he was almost dragged to the ground by this guy who was too strong. And when he looked at it again, he saw that Song Juren was already sleepy-eyed, as if he had been drunk directly.
And this guy was not honest while he was drunk, and he muttered vigorously: "I want to open the largest sugar water shop in the capital, the world is big, the sweets are the biggest, so many rich and powerful daughters, I don't believe that business is bad!" Every time I open a store in the future, there will be a bunch of people who come to congratulate and give gifts, and I will also receive gifts! β
Seeing that the person had already been lying directly on the ground, he was afraid that he would have to be pulled over to cushion his back if he didn't let go, Zhang Shou had no choice but to let go, and then called Lao Liu Tou over and ordered the person to be placed in the guest room. But before Lao Liu Tou asked Yang Hao to help him set people up, he suddenly thought of another thing that he had completely forgotten before.
"By the way, Yingying didn't send someone to pick up the scholar beside him before, but what about people now?"
As soon as these words came out, he saw that Lao Liu's face was stiff, and Yang Hao had a stupid expression, and at a glance he knew that the former knew and the latter didn't. He immediately asked Yang Hao to call Zheng Dang to come over and take Song Juren away, and then stared at Lao Liu Tou and asked, "What, is this little thing difficult to make or fail?" β
As soon as the words fell, he heard Ah Liu's familiar voice: "That stupid guy spoke lightly before. β
When Lao Liu Tou saw Ah Liu appear, he was immediately relieved, and hurriedly prevaricated: "Young master, you and the eldest lady were enjoying the scenery in the garden before, and the guard of the Zhu family came to report the news." This matter is quite complicated, let Ah Liu say to you......"
Without waiting for anyone to slip away, Zhang Shou directly held the person down, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that you have a broken mouth, but Ah Liu is a stuffy gourd, who is more suitable to explain the truth of the matter, do you still need to ask?" Don't sell it, say! β
Seeing that he really couldn't escape, Lao Liu Tou said helplessly: "That Song Gongzi is really the first strange person in the world." He brought not only a scholar with him, but also two entourage guards, and a groom, and then he poured all the medicine in order to go to the Xinglong Tea House to participate in the preliminary competition of the imperial chef selection. The scholar was tied to the bed by him, and the two guards were tied to the legs of the bed. β
He paused, and said with a smile: "That's not all, he also gave his mount a croton, and asked the groom to take the horse to the veterinarian for treatment." When the eldest lady's people rushed to the inn to save people, just as the groom hurried back, as soon as he saw the situation in the guest room, he shouted that his son-in-law had been kidnapped, and the voice was so loud that it was heard three streets away, and the whole inn was in chaos! β
It seems that I underestimated this guy, this is not only wonderful, this is simply the best in the world!
deceived the groom, the medicine guard and the scholar, just to go to the imperial kitchen to try his cooking skills, Song Gongzi, you have successfully made yourself famous in the capital, but if the richest man in Guangdong, the Song family, has any high-ranking people in the capital, they will be angry and come to the door, right?
Zhang Shou, who was dumbfounded, rubbed his eyebrows, and felt that the excitement of his birthday today was definitely not worse than last year. The strange one who was drunk and put down is as good as the traitor leader who died last year and a bunch of traitors!
"And what about later? You won't tell me that the groom and the servants of the Song family went to Wanping County and Daxing County, or simply went to report to the Shuntian Mansion to report to the officials, right? "If that's the case, he is really too lazy to save this strange thing, throw people out, and let the elders of the Song family come to kill this kid who is too out of line!
"No, no." Old Liu Tou hurriedly shook his head into a rattle, "The guard of the Zhu family is shrewd, so he quickly revealed his identity, saying that he knew the whereabouts of Song Gongzi now, so that he could coax the groom and servants out." Thinking that our family had no experience in dealing with these people, I took them all to the Zhao Guogong Mansion first. When the news came, Zhu Hong tried his best to comfort me. β
"He said......" Old Liu Tou swallowed a little, and then said with a dry smile, "Since Mrs. Tai and Mrs. are talking and talking about some small things, please don't worry about it, they will cook properly, then it will definitely be fine." β
It was actually sent to the Zhu family! Zhang Shou suddenly looked strange, thinking that Zhu Ying's guards really deserved to be very Zhu Ying's style, for fear of causing trouble for him, so he sent people to the Zhao State Mansion! And Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are even more responsible, and directly kept those unlucky guys, and said lightly that this is a trivial matter.
Well, it's okay, even if the matter can spread now, it is estimated that the Song family will go to the Zhu family first if they find someone......
After thinking about it, he asked again: "Then Song Gongzi knows about this?" β
Old Liu Tou suddenly smiled: "This is his family's business, how can you not tell him?" He stayed for a long time, and finally burst out with a sentence of blessing or curse, disaster can't be avoided, and then it's time to do something. To tell the truth, it's the first time I've seen such a rich kid when I'm so big, and he's really bold enough to do it! β
Hehe, this strange thing can argue with Princess Yongping, and of course he can do it to his own people!
Zhang Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and then said helplessly: "Since the matter has been taken over by the Zhao Guogong Mansion, then we don't care." β
Lao Liu Tou was worried that Zhang Shou couldn't help but be nosy for a while, and immediately nodded again and again at this moment: "Yes, yes, no matter what, no matter what!" Why do you want us to help end the trouble? β
Even Ah Liu nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, one person does things and one person does it." β
Zhang Shou was about to remind Ah Liu that this proverb seemed to be in the wrong place, but he suddenly only heard a loud shout: "Young Master, everyone is going to give you a congratulatory gift!" β
Hearing this voice, Zhang Shou immediately threw aside all the thoughts he had just had about a certain strange thing and strode back to the table. Before he could take his seat, he saw that the team that had just toasted instantly reappeared, and there was a long line. However, compared to the original group of teenagers, there were a few more little girls in the team at this time.
As for the dozen or so adult men and women who got up late, they couldn't help but cry and laugh when they saw that they were once again preempted by a group of children.
After all, Zhang Yuan's personnel composition is very complicated, and the half-grown children in Rongshui Village who have no experience in working as errands in wealthy mansions in the past occupy the absolute mainstream, with a total of eleven boys, ranging in age from eight to sixteen, four girls, ranging in age from eleven to thirteen, two widows who have a hard time in the village, and two lonely old people who are old in the village but still go to the fields themselves.
The two widows are now in charge of pulp washing, and the two lonely elders are now planting a few acres of vegetable land in the vegetable garden in the northeast corner, and most of the vegetables in the house are from their hands.
Then there are the two mothers, two stewards, and two gardeners who were seconded by Zhao Guogong's Mansion to help. The rest are a group of people with very mixed ingredients who Ah Liu doesn't know how to ambush - three people including An Lu, the lame man in the porter, including Mrs. Xu in the kitchen outside, and six people who sweep and protect the courtyard.
At this moment, the group of adults who came from the Zhao Guogong Mansion or from the market watched the elated half-grown children rush in front of them, lining up to give gifts to Zhang Shou, although they felt that the posture of the queue was funny, but Zhang Shou obviously didn't care, and they had nothing to say.
It's just that, looking at the two widows and the two old men at the end, they couldn't help but exchange glances.
Except for Zhang Yuan, there is probably no one who will bring people like widows and lonely old men when recruiting slaves.
And the first gift Zhang Shou received made him almost feel that the children of this year were even more precocious than later generations. The gift was given by the previous boy who wished him an early cave room and an early birth of a noble son, and the person mysteriously took out a book from his arms and stuffed it directly into his hand. Before he could look down, someone stopped him in a hurry.
"You can't see it, you can't watch it now! It's good for you to watch it with the eldest lady in the future! β
Zhang Shou glanced at the person suspiciously, and when he saw this kid put down these words, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help but have a very subtle premonition - this stinky boy...... You won't give him a spring palace painting, right?
He almost didn't think about it, so he immediately opened it and looked at it, and made up his mind that if it was, even if he left the other gift-givers there first, he would have to arrest them and beat them severely. But when he opened it and found that it was a legendary story, he let go of his heart. But he soon found that he was too happy too soon!
