Chapter 915: The Legend of Chopsticks
It is said that this chopstick actually has been in existence since the Shang Dynasty, but it was invented by Jiang Ziya, when Jiang Ziya was very poor, and his wife thought he was incompetent and had the intention to poison him to death. Once, Jiang Ziya was fishing on the shore, and his wife rarely sent roast meat. Jiang Ziya was overjoyed and was about to catch it, but a big bird flew in, but instead of grabbing the meat, he pecked Jiang Ziya's hand, Jiang Ziya screamed in pain, and reacted, the big bird had flown away. Jiang Ziya observed for a while, but saw the big bird hovering in the air and refused to leave. Jiang Ziya thought, why didn't this big bird take the meat away, but came to peck at my hand, and after pecking, he refused to leave? Jiang Ziya couldn't figure it out for a while, and wanted to reach out to grab it, but sure enough, the big bird cried and pecked at Jiang Ziya's hand again. Although Jiang Ziya was prepared, the big bird came quickly and was pecked again. Jiang Ziya tried this a few times, but the big bird still only pecked his hand, but refused to leave. Jiang Ziya looked at the two claws of the big bird at this time, like a thin silk bamboo, and there happened to be one next to him, and on a whim, he picked two in his hand. This time, the big bird saw Jiang Ziya clamping it with a thin silk bamboo, but he didn't come to peck it, and after a few cries, he left. Jiang Ziya was overjoyed, but as soon as the silk bamboo in his hand was mixed with the roast meat, it squeaked and smoked. Jiang Ziya realized that his wife had poisoned the flesh, and the big bird just now was to save him. Since then, Jiang Ziya has been accustomed to eating with filaments and bamboos to prevent his wife from harming him, and named him Chopsticks. Later, in the palace, there were also emperors who used real silver to build chopsticks, and tested the poison, but this chopsticks have not been popularized, and Ma someone is also on a whim, thinking that this is always grabbed by hand, not only greasy, but also not clean, so he tried to build it himself, anyway, it is not difficult. Ma Zongheng relied on his memory to say it, and Pang De, who was listening, couldn't help but let out an 'oh' sound, and everyone else was fascinated by it, because it was Huang Yueying, after listening, he couldn't help but conclude: "It turns out that the original use of this chopsticks was not for convenience, but for testing poison." And what about this spoon? ”
Seeing that Huang Yueying was quite interested, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and quickly explained: "This spoon..."
So, I didn't drink much wine this night, but everyone heard a lot of stories. Ma Zongheng is very knowledgeable, even Huang Yueying, who claims to have the ability to never forget, and has already read all the books in the world, can't help but be a little surprised.
Before I knew it, the second watch at night was coming, and everyone was tired. But Huang Yueying was still unsatisfied, Ma Zongheng smiled: "The little girl and I are quite speculative, if you don't dislike it, you can come to my studio tomorrow, I have a lot of my own inventions, but I want to talk to the little girl." ”
"Studio?"
"Hehe, that's where I especially used to tinker with some small inventions." Ma Zongheng's eyes flashed, and this statement went to Huang Yueying's heart. It turned out that Huang Yueying had a lot of ideas since she was a child, and she invented them by her liking, and even once said that she dreamed of some wooden people who could be like living people, and since then, Huang Yueying has been obsessed with inventing and tinkering with some novel things.
"Hah! That's good, I'm going! "No, Huang Yueying couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard Ma Zongheng invite her, and immediately said that she wanted to go. Chen Min was afraid that Huang Yueying's mouth was not blocked, and if she was not careful, she would offend Ma Zongheng or several ladies in the general's mansion, so she hurriedly cast a look at Pang De. Pound scratched his head in a hurry, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
"You two don't have to be careful, Yueying's temperament is lively and frank, my ladies will definitely like it, no, don't you still have me to take care of it." Ma Zongheng was trying to get closer to Huang Yueying, so that he could recruit the great demon of the ages, how could he be willing to give up, and immediately promised with a smile.
"But, now, a few ladies..."When Pound heard this, he remembered that the General's Mansion was now turbulent. Ma Zongheng's face couldn't help but change, and suddenly he thought about it, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
"It's embarrassing for the lord, that's still!!" Chen Min saw it, but he was really worried that Huang Yueying would enter the general's mansion and was about to persuade him. Huang Yueying suddenly shouted: "I have a plan!" ”
When she shouted, everyone couldn't help but look over. Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Sister Min'er, didn't you say that you have a good relationship with the general's eldest lady, why don't you go to visit tomorrow, I will pretend to be your servant and take the opportunity to sneak into the general's mansion, and then the general will greet me as an internal officer!" ”
"It's too much trouble, isn't it? Once it is discovered by other people, it will be regarded as a fine work, which will not be good, and it will also affect my sister-in-law! When Gao Ran heard this, he immediately frowned and said.
"I think the general seems to be in trouble, and it's better than me swaggering in. Anyway, even if I am discovered, there is no such thing as the head of the family. Huang Yueying smiled, with her big smart eyes, and then looking at her naughty demeanor, it was a little cute.
"That's good, too!" Ma Zongheng listened, but also felt a little excited, although he is now a father and has created a huge foundation, he is still childlike, and now he is crazy with Huang Yueying.
"Haha, it's fun. It's the first time I've infiltrated the General's Mansion! Huang Yueying couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, clapping her palms and screaming happily. Pound and Chen Min looked at each other, looking at this big and small enthusiasm, but they were helpless.
And so it was settled. Ma Zongheng didn't even drink wine, so he went back to arrange it first, and the Pang couple seemed to have something to say to Huang Yueying, Zhang and Gao saw this, and they were also interested, so they immediately retired, but before Zhang Liao left, he looked at Huang Yueying a few times curiously, and found that this woman seemed to have nothing else special except for being a little smart and clever and having a unique ugly face, I don't know why Ma Zongheng values her so much?
Zhang Liao thought about it as he muttered and left. Gao Ran also wanted to find him to drink at another restaurant, but after calling Zhang Liao a few times, Zhang Liao ignored him and hurriedly chased after him.
So early the next morning, Ma Zongheng, who had long been accustomed to morning exercises, got up early, but saw Ma Yi, who had taken off his shirt and exposed a strong muscle, was practicing the five bird opera in his garden.
"Daddy!" As soon as Ma Yi closed the ceremony, he saw Ma Zongheng coming over, and immediately showed a bright smile and shouted excitedly.
"Stinky boy, it seems to have figured it out." Ma Zongheng saw Ma Yi, who had not shown a smile for a long time, laughed now, and showed his neat and white teeth, he couldn't help laughing too, came to Ma Yi's side, and quickly deliberately made a straight face: "What you did just now was not right!" ”
When Ma Yi heard this, he couldn't help but change color, thinking that he had done every move as perfectly as possible, but why did his father say that every move was not good?
Ma Zongheng saw the suspicious look on Ma Yi's face, and said with a solemn expression: "These five birds of prey are imitations of tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds. ”
After that, the horse's momentum sank, his eyes changed, like a tiger out of his claws, he shouted, his steps stepped over, and a claw was taken out, which set off a gust of wind, and the cheer was even more like a tiger's roar, which frightened Ma Yi's complexion.
Ma Zongheng followed with a footstep, and his body was raised, like a deer jumping, and Ma Yi was shocked again. Immediately afterwards, the horse was like a black bear pounced, the flying ape jumped, and the big bird pecked, not only the move was perfect, but also the person was like a variety of birds of prey, and Ma Yi's eyes were shining, and he suddenly fell into a trance.
Ma Zongheng then played the five birds again, but this time the moves were slightly different, but they became more ferocious, Ma Yi looked at the more shocked he became, and when he saw Ma Zongheng's moves, he was busy asking: "Daddy, you are a five-bird play?" ”
"Hmph, when you can comprehend the true meaning of martial arts one day, you will be able to turn other people's exercises into your own. Child, you still have a long way to go, so keep practicing. Ma Zongheng was sweating profusely at this time, and after giving Ma Yi a command, he turned his head and left. Ma Yi hurriedly responded respectfully, and then began to dance his own moves, showing his comprehension of the right talent.
At this time, not far away, except for the Qiao sisters who were all staying in the boudoir to raise their babies, Wang Yi and several generals were watching Ma Yi practice martial arts. As a mother-in-law, Wang Ying, seeing Ma Yi concentrating on practicing martial arts, was both happy and distressed, in fact, she always wanted Ma Yi to be an ordinary child, but he was more diligent than anyone else and qualified. Wang Ying also understands that this child will become a big weapon in the future, and now the only thing she hopes for is to be able to see this child a few more times, for fear that he will become his father in the future, fighting all day long, and it is difficult to even meet him.
"Third sister, I think my husband has a way, you see that Yi'er is in much better spirits, and she laughed just now. But before the husband came back, how could we comfort the mothers, Yi'er couldn't cheer up. Wang Yi glanced at Wang Ying, and then Ying Ying smiled. Wang Ying listened, but her face sank, but it seemed that she still had some resentment for Ma Zongheng's ruthlessness these days.
Beigong Feng looked at it, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Haha, I have to say that no matter how old or young you are, only men can understand men's thoughts, plus I see Yi'er very much like his dead ghost father, no wonder that dead ghost can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
That's right. Just like us women, only women can understand women's hearts. However, since Fujun and Yi'er started to practice martial arts, the third sister, you haven't said a word to Fujun, and you have been snubbing him for a long time. If you don't take a stand, our sisters won't dare to pay attention to him. I heard that he still slept in the studio last night, and he didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't go to sleep until the fourth watch. Wang Yi couldn't help but say with some distress.
When Wang Ying heard this, she couldn't help but change color, and looked back in a hurry, but when she saw Wang Yi laughing, she couldn't help but blush, and lowered her head.
