Li Yaoqing's work has just begun, and the marriage is in the preparation period, and Cheng Naixuan, who followed Guangmao to Liaodong for two months, finally came back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because he sent Mo Xiang back to deliver the letter before, Mo Xiang hurried through the post station for several days, and almost lost half his life when he arrived in the capital, his thighs were scarred, and he couldn't return at all, so Cheng Naixuan didn't have the most intimate person who had followed him since he was a child, and he naturally stayed very uncomfortable in Liaodong. Although the father and son of the Li family "thanked" him for speaking up, Jingli finally found out the identity of the so-called descendant, and sent him several clever servants, but he was not from a poor family, and he was the most taboo about this so-called gift of servants, and usually did not let people follow him into the room at all. When he returned to Beijing this time, he transferred people to Wu Weizhong, a general on Shanhai Road, on the way.

Therefore, after the servants arrived in the capital, they went straight to the cabinet with Guangmao to see Zhang Juzheng, and then handed over the question book to ask to face the saint, and when he returned home, Cheng Naixuan shouted as soon as he entered the door: "The messenger should have delivered the message, is the hot water ready?" Hurry up and carry Young Master Ben in, ouch, I can't walk a single step! ”

The servants up and down the family were carefully selected and sent by Master Cheng, who didn't know that this young master had such a lazy temper since he was a child, and at this moment two little guys with sliding rods came up immediately, and they carried people directly to the bathroom in the backyard, and after putting people in the bath bucket, Mo Xiang came out, and after rolling up his sleeves and personally scrubbing Cheng Naixuan, he changed two buckets of water in a row to make people soak comfortably, and then served the young master to come out and dry his hair and body. Seeing that Cheng Naixuan didn't want to say a word, he went to bed and lay down directly, Mo Xiang didn't have time to say that the young grandmother went out to do errands, so she simply asked people to prepare all kinds of porridge and snacks and put them in a pouch to heat up.

When Cheng Naixuan woke up from this sleep, he only felt sore, not to mention getting up, he felt strained to even move his little finger. But at this moment, his stomach was hungry, and even if he refused to turn over and get out of bed, he still had to move his body with difficulty and sit up little by little. When he pulled his shoes down to the ground, he found that the house was lit and it was already completely dark outside, but his wife was still nowhere to be seen. He and Xu Yao have been married for many years, and they know that his wife is not a person who likes to go out, even if he is with Xiaobei, he will never return after dark.

At this time, the more he thought about it, the more strange it became, and he casually stuffed two pieces of snacks, and immediately shouted: "Someone! ”

"What do you command, young master?"

Seeing that it was Mo Xiang who came in, Cheng Naixuan immediately lost his only reserve, and scolded with a smile: "Sneaky, come in!" I ask you, where is the young grandmother? ”

"Young master, you just came back, I don't care about it, the young grandmother and the grandmother Wang next door are busy helping Master Li marry. Cough, young master, you should remember that it was Master Li who was beside Ye Xianzun back then! ”

When he heard the first half of the words, Cheng Naixuan was still confused by the second monk, but when he heard the second half, he understood it all at once, and immediately exclaimed in surprise and joy: "Is it the master Li who gave Jinbao Qiufeng and the little fat man of the Ye family as a gentleman, and also gave me and Shuangmu guidance on the art and Shiwen?" It turned out to be him, when did he enter Beijing? Wait, he's a few years older than me and Fu Lin, why did he marry a daughter-in-law again? He's not going to be so miserable, is he? ”

When Cheng Naixuan asked Mo Xiang what was going on, his first reaction was to open his mouth wide, but then he smiled backwards and forwards. When he was having a silly time, he only heard a sound of talking coming from outside the door, followed by Wang Fulin's familiar voice: "Old Cheng, I know you're back." Today I will show my hands at home a few times, and treat you and our daughter-in-law. If you wake up, quickly pack up and come over for dinner, and don't wait! ”

Cheng Naixuan was shocked when he heard this, he was originally a delicious person, and when he looked at the porridge and small dishes in the pouch, he immediately lost his appetite at all, and hurriedly urged Moxiang to serve him to change his clothes, and quickly dressed neatly. Mo Xiang has always been thoughtful, and he stopped him alive and dead before he could leave.

"Young master, if you want to go to Wang Xiaoguan's place to eat, then no one has anything to say. But if you think about the hard work on the road, and as soon as you come back, you go to the cabinet to meet your boss, so you have to drink something to nourish your stomach first, right? This porridge is a seafood soup base, with more than a dozen flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, I heard that you are coming back, the kitchen that the young grandmother ordered when she left today, you should drink a bowl of belly pad first, and you may not be able to eat it immediately when you go to Wang's house. ”

As a last resort, Cheng Naixuan could only drink water, first drank a bowl of porridge in one go, and then hurriedly came to Wang's house next door, he was familiar with the path and found the place, only to see that not only his wife was there, but also his son and daughter were also brought, at this time the cold dishes on the round table had been served six small plates, but none of the hot dishes and soup had been served, and Wang Fulin was nowhere to be seen, only Xiaobei accompanied Xu Yao. Secretly glad that he listened to Mo Xiang's stomach first, otherwise he would really starve at this time, he stepped forward and sat down on the chair unceremoniously, and then said curiously: "Is it really Shuangmu cooking today?" ”

"Said to be a reward for your hard work all the way, and by the way, thank the two of us for helping these days, so he has to cook himself. But it's not just him......" Xiaobei paused, and then said with a smile, "Master Li also went." ”

Now it was Cheng Naixuan's turn to be curious: "Master Li, does he still cook?" ”

As soon as Xianggong came back today, he heard that Guangdong sent several baskets of vegetables and fruits that said that they had crossed the ocean to Guangdong, and then tried to grow vegetables and fruits. Master Li was curious, so he followed. When Xiaobei said this, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Wang Fulin begged Cheng Naixuan to find chili peppers, and suddenly laughed happily, "He claimed to show his hand today, but you see, not a single hot dish has come up until now." I don't know if when he is busy in the kitchen, he will be idle by Master Li to recite a sentence, the gentleman is far away from cooking. ”

"It's not a gentleman's job to talk about others behind your back."

With such a sentence, the door was pushed open again, and Wang Fulin, who came in after him, exaggeratedly held a huge boxwood long plate in both hands - of course, he just took it to show off when he entered the door, and let him use this plate from the small kitchen to load seven or eight dishes in one go, it was absolutely impossible, and the plate would definitely not know where it fell as early as halfway through. It was only after a short time in the kitchen that he left behind a mess of messes, and the kitchen lady and other servants who helped were already exhausted.

But at this moment, the dishes on the table are quite like that, except that most of the dishes on those dishes are not known to everyone. And Wang Fulin wiped his hands, and waited for Master Li, who came in later, to sit down, and then he happily began to introduce.

"This plate is hot and sour shredded potatoes. This is a beef stew with tomato and potatoes...... Well, this is also now, if you change it to the founding of the country, you don't dare to eat beef behind your back. As for tomatoes, they can't be kept fresh, so there is only tomato paste. This is a cornmeal. This seemingly ordinary is fried peanuts! The remaining three are all home-cooked, spicy fried pheasant, fragrant shredded pork, and mapo tofu. There is also a soup that is simmering in the pot, and it will be delivered in a while, mountain mushroom pheasant soup, just under the noodles to eat. ”

In the end, everyone can know what it is even if they haven't eaten it, after all, many people in Beijing are not familiar with this kind of thing, but they still know. But what is a potato? What is Tomato? What are peanuts?

Xiaobei, who had tried chili peppers for the first time with Wang Fulin, was the most courageous, and after coughing dryly, she sat down with a smile, and then said: "He insists on playing treasure, and I won't make dishes, everyone can eat as much as you like, if you are not full when you look back, let the kitchen barbecue eat!" ”

As soon as Xiaobei said this, Cheng Naixuan watched Li Yaoqing look like the hero banquet upstairs of the champion, the chopsticks seemed to be like dragonflies and water, and he tasted every dish in a moment. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat anything if he ate late, he quickly tasted every bite, naturally, he was a little careful about all the dishes he hadn't eaten, but after eating, he couldn't help but glared at Wang Fulin with his cheeks.

"You just said that this is all something that has just been passed down from across the ocean, so who came up with this name?"

"Of course I did." Wang Fulin didn't want these imported products to go through a long process of name change, so he took on the responsibility of the importer plus the name changer. He smiled and ate a piece of crispy beef stew, and then said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, since there is tomato sauce, I can make borscht tomorrow." ”

Next, Wang Fulin ate peanuts, thought about peanut butter, and thought about Kung Pao chicken; Eating potatoes thinking about french fries, mashed potatoes, large plates of chicken; Eating corn and thinking of corn roasting, the hall is full of gold and jade; Even muttered pumpkin sword beans...... Cheng Naixuan had seen Wang Fulin's perseverance in pestering him to find a sea ship to ask for various seeds, and he quietly explained two sentences to Xu Yao. As Li Yaoqing, who has followed Mr. Fang since he was a child, who pays attention to Chinese food and hard work, he is really not polite, and in the end, the disc action was all arranged by him and Wang Fulin. When the chicken noodle soup was served, he burped and still filled most of the bowl.

A meal further shortened the distance of eight years, and when the three big men went to the outer study, one of them sat and talked in a Taishi chair, they all sat down, and lazily wanted to lie down on it. However, Cheng Naixuan wanted to make fun of Master Li, who married late, but unfortunately he was counterattacked by the very thick-skinned other party who took the fact that he was trying to get out of the marriage, and even Wang Fulin seemed to laugh and joke about the good manly reputation he had created for himself, so angry that Cheng Naixuan waved his fist and shouted: "It's all in the past few hundred years, what are you doing with those old accounts?" This time I went to Liaodong, and Li Chengliang sent me eighteen beauties! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a gentle knock on the door outside, followed by Xu Yao's voice: "Xianggong, I ate too greasy at night, I specially ordered the kitchen to cook barley tea." ”

Seeing Cheng Naixuan's ghost-like face, and seeing him bounce up from the Taishi chair all of a sudden, he rushed to the door quickly, opened the door and went out, and he could vaguely hear what he was explaining to Xu Yao quickly, Wang Fulin smiled and said: "This guy is like this, he has this thief's heart and not that thief's courage!" It's Brother Li, can you really endure being close to women for so many years? ”

Li Yaoqing didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn from Cheng Naixuan to himself, and after coughing a few times, when Cheng Naixuan turned in, there would obviously be no more ladies outside, so he unnaturally diverted the topic and said: "Anyway, when I returned to Beijing this time, that is, an old servant, two small servants, and the other subordinates were dismissed when they were in Licheng." I'm not like you, I have a rich family and can't afford to support so many people. So this marriage, don't be too extravagant, you mean well, but I don't want to entertain too many guests who have nothing to do with it on weekdays. ”

"That's why I picked October 28." Wang Fulin squeezed his eyes, and then smiled meaningfully, "On this day, Shen Ge's hometown marries a daughter-in-law." ”

Cheng Naixuan was distributing the tea to Wang Fulin and Li Yaoqing, and he just sat down to take a sip of tea, but when he heard such a sentence, he suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water. Angry enough, he pointed his finger at Wang Fulin: "You guy, you deliberately choked me when you drank water, didn't you?" You can imagine that this kind of marriage will collide with others! ”

"What's wrong with the crashing days? There are only a few auspicious days of the zodiac every month, of course, it is easy to collide with people, not to mention, Brother Li's marriage was already a bit hasty. ”

After choking Cheng Naixuan with one sentence, Wang Fulin said his reason.

"Although Shen Ge Lao is ranked last in the cabinet, he was born in the Hanlin Academy, and he is the champion, he has a good popularity, and the relationship with Lord Shoufu is well known. In this way, even if someone is quite promising because Brother Li is a new member of the Ministry of Literature, he will not leave that side to join in the fun, at most he will give a gift, so that guests with ulterior motives do not need to be entertained, and sincere relatives and friends are naturally welcomed. According to the list given by Brother Li and the Yin family before, Xiaobei and Sister-in-law Xu sent a total of less than a dozen households, and the ten tables reached the top. ”

"It's worthy of Brother Wang Xian, you think really thoughtfully." In the past, Master Li nodded loudly, his face full of approval.

"You still praise him!" Cheng Naixuan finally couldn't help it, rolled up his sleeves and patted the armrest angrily, "You will know in the future that when this guy supports people, it is also unceremonious!" Okay, let's get down to business, when I went to Liaodong this time, Guangmao insisted that Liaodong helped Tao Chengyu lie about his military exploits from top to bottom, not only to recover the reward, but also to deal with the civil and military forces in Liaodong. Li Chengliang is able to deal with Tao Chengyu, there is no need to criticize Liaodong civil and military, even the governor and governor are also towards the Li family. Li Chengliang knew about my relationship with you, and he also showed me the handwritten letter of the military department Shangshu Fang Fengshi. I'm not talking nonsense with you, Shuangmu, what do Shousuke-sama mean? ”

Li Yaoqing immediately looked at Wang Fulin, but saw that the young generation who is now the most stable in the court is the supervising Yu Shi Mo rubbed the little mustache on his lips and said in a deep voice: "The meaning of Lord Shoufu is that it can be reversed. Now that the three of us are here, then according to what Lao Cheng has seen and heard, we will discuss our own attitude and our voice. ”

Wang Fulin saw that the two of them were puzzled, so he accentuated his tone and said: "It's not what others mean, but what we mean, what kind of disposition we want the imperial court to give to the Liaodong dispute!" When the time comes, I'll persuade Motosuke to follow the rules we have negotiated! ”

Hearing this, not only Li Yaoqing was surprised, but Cheng Naixuan, who had been fighting each other and helping each other in the capital with Wang Fulin for more than a year, couldn't help but feel agitated.

That's right...... Really domineering! (To be continued.) )
