On the pear blossom wood dinner table, there was a sumptuous meat and vegetarian banquet, and he silently asked Master Yin to use it first, but the old man hesitated for a moment, and finally chose a piece of shiitake mushroom.

After a moment, he smiled silently: "Why does Shibo always choose some mushroom dishes, but the others are not to taste?" ”

Master Yin shook his head and smiled: "The virtuous nephew also knows, since I was sick in the winter of last year, my daughter has asked me to avoid eating meat, she has been working hard to maintain the family, but she can't let her worry about me anymore." ”

Silent smiled mysteriously: "Of course the little nephew won't harm you, Shibo might as well taste it and see what is the mystery in this dish?" ”

He said so, and Master Yin couldn't shirk it anymore...... In fact, he didn't want to shirk it anymore, so the old man smiled and said, "Then eat a chopstick." "The heart said, 'Find something chewy.'" I grabbed a chopstick ham, sniffed it first, and then slowly put it in my mouth, and I enjoyed it all over my face before I ate it.

After smacking all the juice on the ham, he chewed it carefully, and kept nodding his head: "It tastes good, it's really good." He looked at Master Yin with a silent smile and didn't say a word.

After a while, Master Yin ate the piece of ham and smacked his lips: "Where is this ham, the taste is very unique?" ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "Guess what? ”

"It's not Jinhua, it's not Xuanwei," the old man shook his head and said, "The taste should be more refreshing." ”

"Then you can try it again." Shen Mo said with a smile.

"Then try it again?" Master Yin thought so, took another chopstick, tasted it carefully, and finally ate something different this time: "The aftertaste is longer, and the fragrance is appetizing, which makes people want to eat it again." He said anxiously: "Virtuous nephew, don't sell Guanzi, tell the uncle where this is the ham." ”

Shen Mo smiled: "Actually, this is not made of meat at all, this is called vegetarian ham." Saying that, he smiled and said, "You still expect your uncle to live a long life, how can you break the rules?" ”

Old Master Yin's eyes widened and said, "Vegetarian ham? So he put a few chopsticks in his mouth one after another, but he still didn't eat the doorway, so he had to ask, "What is this made of?" ”

Shen Mo smiled: "Because I know that you only eat vegetarian meals, I specially invited the monk of Lingyin Temple to make this vegetarian ham, and the main ingredients are braised dried bean curd and peanuts." ”

"Dried tofu and peanuts can chew the taste of ham?" Master Yin looked at the plate of ham that was difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

"That's right." Shen Mo smiled: "This table is actually full of vegetarian chicken, vegetarian duck, vegetarian fish, cooked in vegetarian oil, imitation is only the form, in fact, they are all replaced by tofu, gluten, yuba or other soy products, the taste is similar to the real thing, you can enjoy it with confidence." ”

Master Yin sandwiched a piece of something that was obviously chicken, and said in disbelief: "You say this is vegetarian chicken?" ”

"In fact, the tofu skin is tightly bundled, cooked and sliced, fried in vegetarian oil, and then used as a material for a little stir-frying." Saying that, he also sandwiched a chopsticks and vegetarian chicken, and said leisurely: "People often say, 'things are not seen and heard, and they cannot be believed', but in fact, this is not enough, because the truth of things is often far from the appearance, if it is only based on hearsay and subjective assumptions, it is often wrong to judge and make mistakes." Just like these vegetarian chicken and vegetarian hams, you have to taste them to know their authenticity. ”

Master Yin was a little confused, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you seem to have something to say." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "I just felt it." He sighed and said, "It's so uncomfortable to be misunderstood." ”

Master Yin smiled strangely: "A son like a virtuous nephew with a Qing family background and an unspeakably expensive son, it is too late for others to stammer, who dares to misunderstand you?" ”

A faint sadness appeared on Shen Mo's face and said, "My future father-in-law." ”

Master Yin's heart sank suddenly, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to marry his daughter to this 'Qiu Qin', but he didn't expect that his hope would be shattered under the chair. Old Man Shen lost his appetite when he landed. But in the end, I was relieved...... A marriageable young man like him, who is outstanding in all aspects, must have broken through the threshold of the proposer, how can he not be engaged yet.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but say sourly: "Your old man really doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, but such a good virtuous son-in-law has to be pushed out." ”

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "My father-in-law is also my father, and my little nephew doesn't dare to comment on it." ”

When Master Yin heard that he respected his future father-in-law so much, he felt even more uncomfortable, so he asked: "What is the discord between your son-in-law, if it is convenient, you might as well talk to the old man and let the old man help you come up with ideas." "But I thought, 'It's best to break it up.'"

Shen Mo sighed after listening to it, and said leisurely: "That's the case, my father-in-law, misunderstood that I learned from Chen Shimei, and fell in love with the daughter of someone else's official eunuch, so he betrayed his daughter." ”

"Then did you do something like Chen Shimei?" Old Master Yin asked.

"Of course not." Shen Mo spread his hands and swore to the sky: "I dare to swear to the sky, I have never done anything sorry for his daughter, if there is half a lie, teach me that the sky thunders, and I will not die well." ”

This oath is heavy enough, Master Yin nodded and said, "It seems that your future father-in-law misunderstood you." He said: "Uncle, I am from the past, and I know that many contradictions are often caused by misunderstandings, and if the misunderstandings are explained clearly, the contradictions will be resolved; If you don't explain, the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper, and the contradictions will become more and more serious. ”

"But can he listen to me?" Shen Mo sighed and said: "My old Taishan surname is anxious, and his health is not good, as soon as he hears my name, he is angry, which makes me really don't know what to do." ”

"It doesn't matter, there are always more ways than difficulties," Master Yin smiled and comforted: "Old man, I still hope that my children are good, as long as you are not sorry for other people's daughters, I believe he will definitely forgive you." ”

Silent and overjoyed: "Will you really forgive?" ”

"Of course." Master Yin smiled and said: "We have been together for a while, go to your future, your life experience is not, I still understand your surname, whose daughter followed you, the blessing is great, why do you want to ruin the happiness of your daughter's life for a little face, righteousness." ”

"If it were you, would you forgive me?" Shen Mo looked at him fixedly.

Master Yin nodded and smiled: "Of course, if I can have a good son-in-law like you, I will be so happy!" ”

Before the words fell, he saw Shen Mo take off his robe, got up and gave a big salute and said, "The son-in-law has pleaded guilty to my father-in-law." After saying that, he bent over.

Seeing Shen Mo kneeling down for himself, Master Yin was a little at a loss and said, "Virtuous nephew, it's useless to kneel for me, you have to find your old father-in-law." ”

Shen Mo raised his head and said, "You are my father-in-law, and I am Shen Mo Shen Yan." ”

"What? Aren't you Qiu Qin? Master Yin was taken aback and said, "When did Qiu Qin become silent?" ”

"I am the silence of the courtship." Shen Mo took a deep breath and said: "The surname Shen is silent, he has spent hardships and dangers with Ruohan, supported each other, and because of this, he was destined to live three lives, and he was already a non-monarch who would not marry, and who would not marry." We had already made an appointment, and after she took the rupture, I asked my father to come to the door to propose. Who knew that the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, I had to inspect Zhejiang, and because of the siege of the city, I was delayed several times, and it took a few months to return to Shaoxing. Only then did I hear that a certain official in a neighboring county had used despicable means to deceive the marriage and wanted to marry his daughter to me. ”

Lest Master Yin not let him finish speaking, he took another breath in silence and hurriedly, and hurriedly said: "As soon as I told my father, he also said that he must not fail Miss Yin, so he no longer prepared for the engagement ceremony, and asked me to hurry to your house to ask for guilt, who knew that you had already left Shaoxing......"

Master Yin felt a little dizzy, he held his head for a long time, and then interjected: "So Qiu Qin is fake, but silence is true?" ”

"Silence is real, and so is courtship. Because I was worried that you couldn't accept it, I didn't dare to meet with my real name, so I used the pseudonym 'Qiu Qin' to "ask for marriage", and the son-in-law was ridiculous, so I asked my father-in-law to forgive me. Shen Mo straightened up and said, "But I went to great lengths to find your old man's house, just to clarify the misunderstanding with you and formally ask you for a kiss." ”

Master Yin finally figured it out now, it turned out that this kid had been blinding himself, and couldn't help but say angrily: "How can this be reasonable, you are really, really...... I'm mad at me! ”

Shen Mo whispered: "Aren't you afraid that you won't give me a chance to speak?" ”

Old Man Yin snorted angrily: "You are clever and clever in your words, you are not right, you are not a good person!" At the beginning of this year, the fire that had been held for a winter could no longer be suppressed, and turned into cursed words, gushing out like a flood.

Silent and silent, let him scold, one did not turn back, and the other did not change his face, seeing that the old man scolded so dry that his mouth returned to him tea, and he made a punching bag very competently.

Master Yin finally got tired of scolding, sat there panting heavily, and said with a silent and shy face: "Father-in-law, ......"

"Who is your father-in-law? Have you been hired? Did I say yes? "Master Yin didn't have a good air.

When Shen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Zhong, I will write a letter to my father and ask him to prepare a dowry ......"

"Don't." Master Yin waved his hand and said: "Although our Yin family is not a wealthy lord, my daughter is a peerless pearl, much better than the princesses and mothers in this world," he said and glanced at Shen Mo and said, "Do you agree with this?" ”

The silent chick nodded as if pecking rice: "I really agree." ”
