Chapter Ninety-One: Confidently withheld the remaining thirty
Since he accepted Hanguangzong's entrustment, Luo Qinghe naturally had to go back to Qinmoss Street to prepare, and Fang Shaoze was also very cooperative when he saw this, and volunteered to stay in this stall to take care of Luo Qinghe's business.
However, after Luo Qinghe left, he did not return to Qinmoss Street first, but slowly went to the spice shop on Juying Street to buy a lot of ingredients.
When she rode home on the dust shadow, she happened to see Hanguang Zongzheng leading the servants and carrying a bamboo basket full of cleaned ducks, sweaty.
Luo Qinghe was a little speechless and said: "I just need duck paws, what are you sending so many ducks for!" ”
But Master Han wiped the sweat on his forehead casually, and said very generously: "How can there be a place to sell duck paws?" Oh, I don't need it, I don't need it, the duck paw is ready for me, you can keep the rest! ”
Okay, worthy of the aristocratic young master, he threw a whole duck for two duck paws! Luo Qinghe admired it in his heart, and after letting the housekeeper chop off the duck paw completely, he turned around and began to prepare condiments.
Seeing that Luo Qinghe was carefully weighing the weight with a small rod scale, Hanguangzong sweated again: "Miss Luo, can you give me a thin noodle, move faster?" My father will have to wake up in the afternoon at the latest, and if I don't go back by then, I'm afraid I'll be buried in Qinmoss Street! ”
"Don't worry!" Luo Qinghe gave him a reassuring look, took the cleaned duck paws from the hands of the family, the pot of cold water, added onions, ginger and garlic and other condiments, and then covered the pot.
After the duck paw was blanched and the blood was removed, it was washed and drained, and Luo Qinghe started another oil pot to fry the cooked duck paws.
Hanguangzong was waiting boredly at this time, but he had never been interested in the kitchen, so he could only sneak into the courtyard with a left and right, but found that there was no Fang Shaoze in the courtyard.
casually called a maid, Hanguangzong was puzzled: "What about your young master?" ”
The maid said honestly: "Because Miss Luo wants to go home to cook, the young master will take care of the business for her on Juying Street, and now there are not enough people in the yard, and the young master can only do some things himself!" ”
Hands-on? Hanguangzong, who has been pampered since childhood, didn't understand it a little, but after thinking about it, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and stuffed them into the maid's hand, and said, "What trouble is there in your courtyard right now?" What's going on? Talk to me! ”
Two days down: The maid also knows the personality of Hanguang Sect. Knowing that he wanted to help his own young master, he honestly explained it.
Hanguangzong shook his head after hearing this, a little stunned, turned around and explained a few words to his scholar, and then sent him out to do something.
At this time, the noon sun was already high in the sky, and it was a little dazzling. Hanguangzong couldn't stay outside, and he was anxious, so he wanted to go to Luo Qinghe to see the situation.
But as soon as Hanguangzong walked to the kitchen door, he felt that his heel suddenly hurt a little, so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his legs and looked down, only to see a brownish-gray, fat and round "puppy" grinning at him with a fierce face.
What's the matter, does that mean not letting yourself in? Hanguangzong saw that the little thing was cute, so he squatted down very curiously, gently tugged Laifu's little paw and said, "It's not big, it's quite fierce!" I'm here with your master's permission, so you'll have to be nice to me!" ”
With that, Hanguangzong got up and wanted to leave, but how could Laifu be such a foolish character?
Seeing that Hanguangzong was about to go in again, when he came to Fuden, he bit the hem of his clothes and was about to drag it out, but its small body, which was not as big as a pillow, naturally couldn't do it.
Hanguang Zong, who was dragged off the hem of his clothes, saw that this little thing had a good temper, so he became interested, squatted down and stretched out his hand to poke Laifu's little belly, and laughed: "You little puppy has a lot of temper!" Come, let the young master teach you a good lesson! ”
But before Hanguangzong could make a move, he heard someone behind him say with pity: "Master Han, if you go back late, you will be beaten!" ”
As soon as he saw Luo Qinghe's shortcoming, Hanguangzong was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand, suddenly got up and took the Wenzhu food box in Luo Qinghe's hand, and said with a sneer: "Hehe, let's go, let's go!" Thanks! ”
As he spoke, Hanguangzong arched his hand and held the food box and trotted out of the door and boarded his carriage.
Although this Hanguang Sect was anxious, when he sat in the carriage and rushed home, he always felt that the tempting aroma in the food box was madly drilling into his nose.
Swallowing and swallowing his saliva, Han Dumiao used the spirit of feeding to try to suppress the gluttony in his heart, but after several struggles, he lowered his head in the end, and couldn't help but stretch his guilty hand into the porcelain cup in the food box.
At this time, Luo Qinghe, who had just sent Han Dumiao away with a cold face, looked proud, and took out the thirty duck palms that he had secretly hidden, and said in his heart: This Hanguang Sect is also interesting, she just asked for thirty duck paws, but this young master probably didn't know how many legs the duck had, so he actually sent thirty whole ducks over!
Luo Qinghe naturally would not let go of this opportunity, so he confidently detained the remaining thirty.
This tangy aroma also reached Laifu's nose, and I saw him holding his round belly, and suddenly jumped to Luo Qinghe's feet and chirped.
Hum! Luo Qinghe snorted coldly, picked out a few large duck paws and threw them into Fu's small bowl.
Squatting down and looking at Laifu's happy eating, Luo Qinghe said helplessly: "Comrade Laifu, can you have some wolf dignity?" How could that kid be bullied! I tell you, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, you will bite him hard! ”
But at this time, Laifu didn't care about what she said at all, and only hung Luo Qinghe, who was full of helplessness, and ate it wholeheartedly.
In the carriage, Hanguangzong, who didn't know Luo Qinghe, thought that he had sent sixty duck paws this time, so it would be okay to eat a few more!
Therefore, when the carriage stopped in front of the Zhongyong Mansion, Han Dumiao hiccuped and entered the house with the food box in his hand, completely noticing that the food box in his hand was already unreasonable.
At this time, it was time for lunch, and the Zhongyong family was sitting around the round table and eating deliciously.
Hanguang Zong thought that the opportunity for his performance had come, so he strode into the door triumphantly, and didn't even care about asking his parents to say goodbye, so he put the Wenzhu food box on the dining table, and when he lifted the lid arrogantly, Han Dumiao was suddenly dumbfounded.
This... Isn't this food cup still full? How can there be so many left? Raising his head a little embarrassed, Hanguang Sect was just meeting the surprised gaze of his parents.
No, this is not for them to find out, if Dad knows that I have disgraced him again... Thinking of this, Hanguangzong quietly shuddered, and his desire to survive made him decide to pretend to be stupid to the end: "Here, that porcelain plate will serve this duck paw for everyone to taste!" ”
This duck paw is different from the taste of other tendons in Guangling, although the meat is small, it melts in the mouth, and it can spit out all the small bones with a gentle sip, and the taste is spicy and delicious, very appetizing.
Han Tinglin ate two in a row, and said aloud with great satisfaction: "This thing is a wine!" Zong'er, pretend to be ten more for Dad! ”
Even the old lady Han, who has always been picky, couldn't help nodding her head and praised: "Yes, this taste is just right for my old lady to eat!" I haven't eaten duck paws since I lost my teeth, and now I really miss tasting it! ”
Seeing that the Han family members at the round table were all enjoying themselves, Mrs. Han said with satisfaction: "Zong'er, didn't you bring thirty ducks with you today?" Don't sell it, take it all out! ”
But when Han Dumiao heard this, he could only scratch his hair with a wry smile, and he had nothing to love: It's over, it's over, how good is this!
In an inconspicuous wine shop at the end of Meilin Street, Wei Chigong, who had drunk two large jars of spring breeze, finally waited for Wei Xiaowu, who was immortal and bone-in-one: "Yo, is the sun coming out of the south?" How could General Wei Chi take the initiative to invite me here? ”
Wei Chigong didn't bother to laugh with him, took out a bulging purse from his arms with a sinking face, and said lightly: "Send this thing to him!" This is the famous little deer antler in Zhiyuan Town, which is very suitable for his weak physique, you can send it quietly, don't say that I gave it! ”
Wei Xiaowu, who was still laughing at him, stiffened his face, and only said after a while: "You... Why bother? ”
When Wei Chigong saw that the matter was finished, he threw the wine bowl in his hand on the table and prepared to leave: "Worthy of conscience, it's enough." ”
"Wait!" Wei Xiaowu raised his head and said with an uncertain expression: "When they return to Guangling, aren't you curious?" ”
Wei Chigong paused when he heard this, but he didn't say a word.
Seeing his refusal to communicate, Wei Xiaowu sighed and said, "Cheng, if you don't care about anything else, it's okay, but don't you want to ask about your own marriage?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Wei Chigong sneer: "Isn't there another family that has discussed marriage with my grandfather?" Don't worry, as long as I don't nod, who would dare to agree? ”
Wei Xiaowu suddenly said, "Holy Lord." ”
"No way!" Wei Chi Gong turned around violently when he heard this, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes: "The Holy Lord will never treat me like this!" ”
"It's not the same time anymore!" Wei Xiaowu shook his head helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why I didn't give you a marriage in the past is just because the law of my dynasty stipulates that horses are not allowed to engage in politics, and the saint is reluctant to let you live a mediocre life!" But now, if you look at your own virtue, even if the Holy One feels ashamed of you, how long can he tolerate it? ”
Wei Xiaowu said, looking at his high-spirited and beautiful righteous brother in the past, and said abruptly: "Little Twelve, once our brothers were born and died on the battlefield, and it was all a life-changing friendship that was grinded out by knocking his head on the ground!" But in addition to the three brothers who died, do you dare to give their lives to the rest of the people now? Although we have laid peace, there is no one left of our former friends! ”
Looking at Wei Chigong on the side again, his eyes were already red.
Wei Xiaowu was also a little choked: "Recently, my father's words have become less and less, and I have been sitting all day looking at the tablets of those uncles. I guess he already has the idea of returning to his hometown, but how can he be in his mind in this situation? ”
"Little Twelve, Fifth Brother didn't want to talk so much, but I really can't stand it, it's not a way for you to be so depraved all the time! We were born in a family and have been burdened with the prosperity of the Manchus since childhood, but now the world is peaceful, we have no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions, if you really don't want to be with the ministers of the court, then you don't go to listen to the words of the saint and marry a princess home, but also to protect the peace of Wei Chi Manmen! ”
Looking at Wei Chigong frowning, Wei Xiaowu sighed lightly and could only continue: "If you really don't want to marry, then I will go back for you and discuss with my father and marry my sister-in-law to you!" That child is kind and gentle, and she can't be used by my father, and she can't be used by my father if she's just a concubine. Right now, the dark waves are turbulent in the middle of the court, and I'm afraid... The Holy Lord will use the princess to coerce you, and when the time comes, you will suffer, but there is still a full house of Wei Chi's family! ”
Wei Chigong quietly listened to Wei Xiaowu's heart-wrenching persuasion, and his stubbornness on his face finally wavered.
Looking at his expression, Wei Xiaowu knew that his persuasion had worked, so he didn't say more, but gently put the purse given to him by Wei Chigong into his arms and went out.
But this Wei Xiaowu went elsewhere, but went straight to Qingyin Pavilion: "Mr. Xu, as long as you don't disturb the eldest princess Kejing in that matter last time, Wei will definitely try his best to help!" ”
