Chapter 62, Five Lakes Fish Soup
The young man didn't know what the road ahead was, so he held the beautiful woman in his left hand and strode forward with a sword in his right hand, followed by Qi Guanzhuang, Qi Guanzhuang led the horse, carried the knife, and carried the poetry book.
Ten miles further on, it was very lively, and the most conspicuous one should be the young and promising Chu King Xiong Ran, Jiang Jue's guess is not unreasonable, after all, an acquaintance is accompanying Xiong Ran.
This acquaintance is the original Song envoy Qiaoyu, or the former Song Dynasty son-in-law Qiaoyu, and the current Mrs. Song.
"The old minister sees my king." Mur bowed.
"Your Majesty, see my king." Qin Mengting knelt on the ground and saluted.
Jiang Jue arched his hand, and there must still be a number of courtesies.
"Lone in Yingdu, I heard that the little general beat the straw bag Gongsun Ji to the ground, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." Xiong Ran said with a smile.
Will Jiang Jue believe Xiong Ran's nonsense? It's not that he hasn't seen Xiong Ran, it was still when the Luoyi Academy Palace met the alliance, and his identity was a bluffing descendant.
Jiang Jue didn't say a word, after all, he couldn't grasp the attitude of King Chu, but he didn't want to be a kneeling dog slave like Qin Mengting.
"My king specially set up a banquet for the little general in Yingdu, and it is love to welcome him for ten miles, and the little general has a bright future." Mul said.
The banquet is in the palace of Yingdu, the palace lady sings and dances, and the imperial kitchen serves three dishes, one is the fish soup of the five lakes, the second is the banquet of three treasures, and the third is more than reunion.
Wuhu fish soup, the first dish in Chudi, has the reputation of a bowl of Chushui, and is the highest standard hospitality dish in Chudi. Mu Er was a little frightened, even if he entertained the envoy of the Song Kingdom, he didn't see this dish, it seems that Jiang Jue's weight in the heart of Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, is higher than he estimated.
The three treasures feast is steamed soft-shelled turtle, steamed sea bass, steamed osmanthus fish, three kinds of aquatic fish, three ingenious steaming methods, the taste is wonderful.
The reunion has more than enough fish balls and glutinous rice balls to cook, and the woman cooks more than enough reunion during the autumn harvest, entrusting the beautiful thoughts of family reunion, and looking forward to the beautiful thoughts of the next year's bumper harvest and full of fish and turtles.
"This dish is more than reunion, since the little general has come to Yingdu, this dish is indispensable." Xiong Ran said.
Xiong Ran sat in the first seat, and Mrs. Song Qiaoyu sat with him. It can be seen that Xiong Ran likes Qiaoyu very much for Qiaoyu, who has the appearance of a sinking fish in the country and the city.
The head on the left is Mu Er, the national teacher of the Chu State, although the head of the three princes is lame, it does not prevent him from traveling all over the world and Kyushu. Today, there are three saints of the Zongheng family, one is Zou Gu, who cultivates both the way of a gentleman and the art of vertical and horizontal, the other is Qin Huai, who first hangs the seal of the Five Kingdoms and then the seal of the Seven Kingdoms, and the third is naturally Muer.
Under Muer is Si Nong Miao, Miao is the same as Jiang Jue, no name, no surname and no name, so he is called Miao Sheng or Miao Daren.
Miao is just a farmer in the land of three seedlings, who can cultivate good seeds, Xiong Ran's wisdom and wisdom invite people to enter Yingdu to worship as a farmer, ranking among the three princes.
Under Miao is the Borage Chen, but also the Miao people, and now his identity is the general of Chu Zhenxi, Jiangcheng fought with Ba Chuangfutu Guan to play the knife, and after the defeat of the army, he took Jing Qijun and Qin Mengting away all the way out of the Fang State.
Jiang Jue sat on the right, this position was really conspicuous, but he didn't care, just having a meal and so many rules, is it pedantic or arrogant?
Under Jiang Jue is Qin Mengting, the original young general of the Huangli Palace is now thriving in the Chu State, this is also an opportunity, Jiang Jue is not good at talking about traitors, after all, he does not recognize the country of Pakistan.
Qi Guanzhuang sat under the Qin Meng Pavilion, which can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors, presumably none of his Qi Guan ancestors had the opportunity to sit in the palace and eat a gluttonous feast.
Jing Qijun insisted on sitting beside Jiang Jue, but Qin Mengting whispered to dissuade him and said no, this is a courtesy, and even planned to give up his position to Jing Qijun. Jiang Jue pretended not to see or hear it, and sat down with Jing Qijun, the king of Chu, Xiong Ran, could hug the beautiful woman in his arms, how could he not? Everyone is a human being, and they are all people who eat grains, how can there be these etiquette? The number of rituals is not set by people, and since it is set by people, it should not bind people, but educate people.
Xiong Ran didn't pay attention to it when he saw it, after all, he was also the king of a country, and he didn't need to speak.
Therefore, in the shock of the house, Jiang Jue took Jing Qijun and sat beside him in a grand manner. He is not a gentleman now, he is just a reckless, and he naturally does not know etiquette.
Halfway through the banquet, Jiang Jue got up and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know where my mother is?"
Although Xiong Ran specially appeased Jiang Jue with a plate of reunion, Jiang Jue was still not at ease, how could he rest assured that he didn't see anyone?
"Little general, don't worry, eat first." Mul smiled and soothed.
Jiang Jue didn't have a good impression of this Mu'er, he remembered that this so-called sage of the Zongheng family was humiliated and had nothing to say when he discussed with Mr. Zou in Luoyi, and now he began to shake his majesty in the Chu State?
"The old lady is in the house, and after the little general has eaten, the old man will take the little general forward," Miao said to Xiong Ran, "This is what my king meant." ”
Jiang Jue has a good impression of this Miao Sheng, and has long heard that Miao Sheng alone feeds two million households in Chu. It is naturally worthy of respect to be able to feed the people of a place.
Jiang Jue sank down and took a small sip of fish soup, how could Qi Guanzhuang have a vulgar appearance, he pretended to chew slowly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister will lead the little general to retire first." Miao arched his hand and said.
Xiong Ran waved his hand, this Jiang Jue was rude three times and twice, and he had no patience.
Jiang Jue and the three of them followed Miao Sheng out of the palace, and Qi Guanzhuang said aggrievedly: "Miao Sheng can have food at home? I have a lot of food, and I haven't eaten enough. ”
Miao Sheng nodded and replied, "Naturally, it's enough."
Yingdu, the royal palace.
Xiong Ran threw away the ivory in his hand, and his face was gloomy. He was naturally annoyed with Jiang Jue, and he greeted him for ten miles and set up a banquet for wine and banquet, and this young man didn't have a good face, which really made him angry.
"Your Majesty, if you want to recruit Jiang Hou, you must first recruit the second son; If you want to recruit a second son, you must first recruit his mother. It is really unexpected that this idiot is involved in Jiang Hou. Mul arched his hand.
"It's also fortunate that he is an idiot, otherwise how could he trick him into coming to Yingdu." Qin Mengting also said.
A pair of masters and apprentices looked at each other and smiled.
"Carpenter." Xiong Ran shouted.
"The minister is here." Mul gave up.
"Let's go to the woodmaster himself," Xiong Ran said, "You can go too, Ranchen." ”
Miao Sheng was old and frail and rode in a car, while Jiang Jue and the three followed on horseback.
"Childe, someone is following us." Qi Guanzhuang whispered.
Jiang Jue nodded, there were still many people who followed him, and he didn't have to guess to know that it was Xiong Ran's eagle dog. It would be strange if no one followed, after all, this is Yingdu.
"Husband, don't you think it's strange?" Jing Qijun said. She was now comfortable and no longer felt shy.
"Why does Xiong Ran value me?" Jiang Jue said, "Nine times out of ten, Xiong Ran wants to use me to blackmail Jiang Hou. ”
"But I have to come, after all, my mother is here, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, and filial piety, these are the principles taught by Mr. Meng."
"What if you find your mother?" Jing Qijun asked worriedly.
"Just the present, not the future." Jiang Jue raised the Du Ruojian in his hand and said. He remembered that the king of Chu also wanted to sit with him at the banquet, probably because he was worried about himself, it turned out that the people who killed people in Jiangcheng had been spread to Yingdu.
Shi and Zhao Miao, the husband and wife, parted ways with the team before they arrived in Yingdu, but the two appeared in Yingdu again, and nodded to Jiang Jue from afar.
"Ugh." Jiang Jue sighed, Xuanlang, Xuanlang, why are you your grandfather? Why does a reckless idiot have anything to do with Immortal Xuanlang, and why does he have anything to do with Taifu Dali?
Miao Sheng's mansion is in the inner city of Yingdu, which is not luxurious, and it is the same as Jiang Wangshu.
Qi Guanzhuang looked at Miao Sheng's mansion and pouted and said, "The King of Chu is so big that he can't even afford a decent house."
Jiang Jue guessed that Miao Sheng and Jiang Wangshu generally didn't love these vanities, otherwise, how could the two million households that were ranked among the three princes to feed the Chu people not have a bright mansion?
Miao Sheng got out of the car and invited the three of them into the house, and a gentle woman came over to support Miao Sheng. Miao Sheng introduced: "This is my granddaughter."
Miao Sheng has never married a wife or had no heirs in his life, and he only has a granddaughter who has been picked up, which is well known to everyone. Miao Sheng's granddaughter is named Miao Miao, gentle and lovely, and she is almost at the age of Jilu, and many matchmakers invited by the nobles of Yingdu are about to step on the threshold of this dilapidated mansion.
Compared with Jiang Wangshu's door, which is also a dilapidated mansion, Miao Sheng's family is like a city.
Someone knocked on the door, Qi Guanzhuang ran to open the door, and the people who came were Mu Er, the national teacher of Chu State, and Wei Chen, the general of Zhenxi.
"Master Miao, the king specially sent me to bring a few maidservants to entertain the little general." Mul explained his intentions.
said that there were several, but in fact there were eighteen maidservants.
"Where's my mother?" Jiang Jue didn't care where this Muer came, he directly explained his intention.
"The little general is not in a hurry for this moment," Mul said, "I look at the little general's familiar face, have you seen it somewhere?" ”
Jiang Jue was shocked, he didn't believe that Muer didn't remember himself, when Muer and Mr. Zou were talking in front of him in the Luoyi School Palace, he was still sacrificing wine in the Luoyi School Palace.
It was a temptation, Jiang Jue looked Mu Er up and down and said, "Who are you?"
Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang don't know why Jiang Jue is here, but both of them are delicate people, and they naturally have ulterior motives.
"Old man, I've been hungry for a day, do you have anything to eat?" Jiang Jue asked Miao Sheng again.
Miao Sheng looked at Jiang Jue with a real look, so he had to tell Miao Miao to prepare the meal.
"Why is the little general talking nonsense?" Mul laughed.
"Master Mu, please forgive me," Jing Qijun arched his hand and said, "My husband is an idiot. ”
"Who's your husband?" Jiang Jue dodged Jing Qijun and said.
"If it weren't for Jiang Hou's meaning, who would want to marry you an idiot." Jing Qijun said with a bitter face.
While a few people were talking, Miao Miao had already prepared the meal, and Mu Er asked, "So fast?"
"Ready, so hurry." Miao Miao replied.
"Master Miao has a good girl, and my unsuccessful apprentice has always entrusted me to talk to Master Miao about this." Mul said.
Miao Miao put down the food plate and ran away shyly.
