Chapter 80: There is no wine and no songs, and there is much loneliness
Not long after Hu Ye's words fell, a family member brought a dark and simple jar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The jar is not big, with a round body and a narrow mouth, which is very different from the jar used for ordinary wine storage.
Holding the jar, the family poured another wine for Li Mo and them in turn, and respectfully retreated to Hu Ye's side.
When he stood still, Hu Ye asked casually, "Is the boneless meat steamed?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming!" It was the cook who Li Mo had just dealt with who spoke, and she walked over quickly with a tray in both hands.
There is a large celadon bowl upside down on the tray, and a few wisps of heat are faintly overflowing from the edge of the bowl, giving off a refreshing fragrance.
The cook put the thing in front of Hu Ye, lifted the upside-down celadon bowl, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing.
When the heat rose, Hu Ye's eyes lit up, and he took a deep breath of intoxication, "The delicacies in the world are flesh and bones." ”
Li Mo keenly noticed that when the celadon bowl was opened, the eyes of several concubines standing behind Hu Ye were full of fear.
He couldn't help but be curious about the boneless flesh on the plate, and looked over.
I saw a saucer-shaped thing on the plate, golden to a little purple in color, covered with folds. It doesn't look beautiful at all, it can even be said to be a little ugly, and there seems to be a piece missing from the corner.
Hu Ye divided the piece of boneless meat into four parts, and motioned for the family to bring it to Li Mo.
The boneless flesh and bones were arranged, and Bai Guo quickly covered his snort with his cuffs, and quietly moved his body to the side.
"Brother Li, quickly taste the boneless flesh and blood that my Hu family's secret does not proclaim. It must be soaked in dozens of medicinal herbs with wine, sealed and stored for twenty years, and has the effect of consolidating the original and returning to the yuan. Hu Ye smiled peacefully, and Wen Yan invited Li Mo to taste it.
Li Mo suddenly felt that Hu Ye's smile was very dazzling, obviously he had just learned that his son had died, how could he still be in the mood to organize a banquet?
However, the smell of the sliced boneless meat in front of him was so tempting that he couldn't help but pick up the ivory basket at hand.
Yurun's ivory chopsticks picked up the piece of boneless flesh that had been cut into small pieces, and slowly sent it to his mouth.
"Master, my brothers searched for three families in a row, but fortunately, they finally found a maid born in the lunar year."
The abrupt echo sounded, shaking Li Mo's somewhat confused mind to his senses.
Li Mo hurriedly put the boneless meat that was almost brought to his mouth back on the plate, and pretended to be very interested to look at Hu Ye on the main seat.
When the corner of his eyes swept over Xu Xian, he found that Xu Xian also had a secretly dangerous expression. I guess just now, just like himself, he didn't resist the temptation and almost ate that piece of boneless meat.
Hu Ye's eyes were originally closely staring at Li Mo and Xu Xian, but the land was interrupted by the sound of reply, and his face suddenly turned stinky, "Didn't you see that the master was entertaining distinguished guests?" What a nonsense! Go back and slap yourself in the mouth twenty times. ”
The two family members were dumbfounded, they didn't get the expected reward, and they also attracted a slap, which was really unlucky!
But the woman they brought was still in the sedan chair and hadn't come down, so she couldn't just leave it there!
"Master, then, that maidservant, uh, what to do?" One of the more daring gentlemen asked.
"Don't talk too much, go down!" Hu Ye glanced at them fiercely, and without looking back, he rushed to the concubine behind him and said, "Rujun, you go and deal with it." ”
The concubine behind him was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to show it at all, and said "yes" obediently, leading the two family members down.
"Brother Li, this boneless meat should be delicious while it is hot, you and this little brother must eat more." Hu Ye persuaded repeatedly, "And this marrow washing wine, even if ordinary people spend a lot of money, they can't drink it." ”
Li Mo made up his mind not to eat the things at the dinner, so he said perfunctorily, "I have already tasted it all just now, it is indeed a rare delicacy!" ”
Hu Ye didn't doubt him, thinking that Li Mo was eating and drinking when he was scolding the family, and immediately laughed loudly, "Brother Li, how do you feel now?" ”
Li Mo was horrified by his laughter, and continued to lie, "It seems that there is a little head covered." ”
As he spoke, he made a look of being overwhelmed by alcohol and held his chin with his hand, making a drunken look.
Then, he secretly twisted Xu Xian who was sitting next to him with his left hand.
Xu Xian is also clever, and when he pinched him like this, he learned like this, "Oh, why am I a little blind?" ”
Xu Jiaorong on the other side thought that the two of them were drunk from eating, so he threw a disdainful cold look at them, "I said I wouldn't let you be greedy, but I just didn't listen!" But you all say yes, I'll taste the taste of the boneless flesh too. ”
As she spoke, she picked up the boneless meat on the plate and quickly took a bite, tasted it carefully, and praised it sincerely, "Well, it's really the best grade!" ”
Li Mo wanted to stop it, but Xu Jiaorong was too far away from them, and he didn't warn her in advance, so he had to watch her eat the piece of boneless meat.
Hu Ye, who was on the main seat, thought that the three of them had eaten and drunk, smiled from ear to ear, and exaggeratedly patted the short table in front of him with his hand, "Hehe, there is no wine and no song, and it is very lonely." Hu is not good at music, so let's tell a story to help the fun! ”
After speaking, he completely ignored Li Mo's reaction and talked to himself.
"It is said that there was a great good man whose family had been in business for generations and had untold wealth.
However, this great good man was not happy.
Because, his full house of wives and concubines failed to give birth to a boy and a half girl for him.
What a painful thing it is to guard the mountains of gold and silver, but have no heirs to inherit!
Great benevolent people pave roads, build bridges, shape gold bodies, and repair monasteries; I have scattered a lot of my family wealth, and there is only one thing I want.
That is, ask the Bodhisattva to give him an heir, even if it is a daughter.
After a long time, I don't know if it was his sincerity that moved the heavens.
In short, in the year when he knew the destiny of heaven, his wife's belly bulged as he wished.
The great benevolent man was overjoyed and made a great wish in front of the Bodhisattva, and if he got Lin'er, he would scatter all his wealth and make offerings to the temple.
After October, the great benevolent people really added Lin'er.
However, he did not fulfill the oath he had made earlier.
He is old, how can he bear to watch his young son become a pauper!
The great good man was afraid that the gods would blame him, so he took a large sum of money and added sesame oil to the temple.
Of course, this large sum of money is only a drop in the bucket for him.
The young son grew to a weak crown without illness and disaster, and he also married a beautiful girl.
But on the night of the candles in the cave room, he died on the bride's body.
At this time, the great benevolent man was already dazzled and deaf, and he was sure that the Bodhisattva was angry that he had not fulfilled his promise and cruelly took away his young son.
Buddhism is cold-blooded and ruthless, and has to find another way.
The great benevolent people sought in many ways, and finally heard that there was a master outside the Yong'an Palace in Zhenjiang to dispel the disaster, which was very effective, so he searched for the past according to his words.
