Next to the table are four small chairs made of bamboo and rattan.

Brother Pei invited Luda and Master Li to sit behind, walked to the kettle brought by the stove, brewed new tea in the teapot, and also sat down and pointed to Luda and asked Master Li: "Miss Shishi, who is this brother?" ”

Master Li smiled lightly, "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you two. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Brother Pei and said to Luda: "This Brother Pei, called Pei Xuan, is the cousin of my Li Yun's mother, who once served as a Confucian in Kaifeng Yamen, because of his iron face and selflessness, everyone calls him an iron face." Now I leave my job and stay at home. ”

Then he pointed to Luda and said to Pei Xuan: "This eldest brother is a good friend of Shishi when he was in his hometown. The surname is Lu Mingda. ”

Iron-faced Mu Pei Xuan stood up when he heard this and said, "Luda, are you that Luda?" ”

Master Li chuckled: "And that Luda, your big brother Pei doesn't know another Luda." ”

The iron-faced face Mu Pei Xuan said: "I'm asking if this is the Luda who defeated Yelu Yongshan of the Liao State and was personally given by the emperor to be the general of Huwei." ”

Ruda stood up and arched his hand: "Yes, it's down." ”

The iron-faced face Pei Xuan also arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful!" I really don't know Mount Tai in the next place! ”

Master Li said: "Brother Pei, don't be disrespectful there, my Brother Lu doesn't want people to treat him as a hero." ”

The iron-faced face Pei Xuan: "If you are meritorious, you are not arrogant, and you are really a real hero." Please sit, please sit, drink tea, drink tea," he said, taking the teapot and pouring tea into everyone's cups.

After taking a sip of tea, the iron-faced face Pei Xuan said, "I don't know what Miss Shishi is looking for." ”

Master Li said: "It's not that I have something to look for you, it's that my eldest brother Lu wants to sue the emperor, so I brought him here to see you, the famous iron-faced man." ”

Pei Xuan, the iron-faced face, said modestly: "What a famous name, it's just that everyone forcibly crowns the reputation, it's not worth mentioning." General Ruda said, "Who are you going to tell the royal wrath?" ”

Luda said: "I want to sue Tong Fei's royal state." ”

The iron-faced face Pei Xuan said: "Who is Tong Fei." How come I've never heard of that name? ”

Luda said: "Tong Fei is the younger brother of the Privy Counsellor Tong Guan Tong. ”

The iron-faced face Pei Xuan said: "This Tong Fei is still a big backstage character." Why did you have a grudge against Tong Fei? Tong Guan is not a master who is easy to provoke. ”

Luda said: "There is no personal grudge between me and Tong Fei, and the royal complaint I sued him is to redress grievances for the people and eliminate traitors for the country." ”

Then, full of grief and indignation, Ruda told the story of the incident from beginning to end with the Iron Face.

After listening to Luda's story, the iron-faced face turned blue, grabbed the tea bowl and fell to the ground with a "snap": "This beast who eats human food and doesn't pull human, today I will fight for this life and accompany you Luda to sue this royal complaint to the end." If Tong Fei, the dog official, is not brought to justice, I Pei Xuan will not be called an iron-faced face. ”

Confucius, during the Song Dynasty, was in charge of prison litigation and criminal affairs. Pei Xuan had been a Confucius in the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion for more than five years, and he could be said to be an expert in prison litigation and criminal law. Because Pei Xuangang was upright, he offended the chief and was forced to leave his post and stay at home.

The iron-faced Pei Xuan, who was angry, said to Luda: "If things are really as you say, Tong Fei will be guilty of death, but the complaint still needs to have evidence." ”

Ruda took it out of his close-fitting clothes and searched it out of Devil Six. Tong Fei wrote a letter to the Black Barbarian General, the commander of the Black Eagle Army in Western Xia, when he was in Wuguan, and handed it to Pei Xuandao: "Look at whether these letters can be used as evidence. ”

The iron-faced face Mu Pei Xuan said to Luda: "If you want to trust me, put these letters here first, and I will take a good look at them so that I can write a lawsuit." ”

Luda said: "Brother Pei, how can I not trust you, then I'll leave it here for you." Wait for the lawsuit you have written, and let the teacher notify me. ”

The iron-faced face Pei Xuan said: "Don't bother Miss Shi Shi to inform you, you can just come and pick it up at this time in three days." ”

Luda and Master Li said goodbye to the iron-faced eyes Pei Xuan walked back, walked back through the royal street, Master Li opened the sedan curtain and said to Luda: "Brother Lu." Could you please let me take a look at your new home? ”

Luda said: "That's a big empty yard, what's so beautiful." ”

Master Li said coquettishly: "No, your sister Yingying has never entered the General's Mansion since she was so old." Not to mention the mansion of the dignified General Huwei. ”

Ruda said, "Okay then. I led the way in front on horseback. ”

With that, Ruda urged the horse to the front of the sedan chair.

Soon they came to the mansion of General Huwei on the bank of the Jinshui River.

Master Li got off the sedan chair, looked up at the tall gatehouse and said, "Yo! What a magnificent General Huwei's mansion! ”

Master Li said to the two sedan chair men again: "You two are not waiting for me here again, go back and tell Li Yun's mother, just say that I am in General Huwei's mansion." ”

Master Li followed Lu Da to the living room and study, and pushed it open and entered, and on the wall facing him hung an embroidered painting of Guan Yu reading "Spring and Autumn" at night, and next to the painting was Lu Da's big knife. Master Li stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the big knife and said, "Brother Lu." Seeing the furnishings here, I suddenly thought of an article by a poet of the Tang Dynasty, can you listen to it? ”

Ruda said: "Of course, you can read it and I'll listen to it." ”

Master Li chanted softly: "In the second year, there are west and east roads in Qilu, and you will travel to Chuyi for a long time. The tiger tent talks about high and no guests. Ma Qing is arrogant and few people are the same. The world is willing to make Liu Biao, and the mountain is still able to remember Xie Gong. I can't say anything about this, and I will cry to the spring breeze. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Luda knew that Master Li must have remembered the scene when she stood up when she was in trouble in the mountains, and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, it's been more than two years in a flash. Yingying, I also chanted a poem by Wang Jian, feeling nostalgic for the scene under the eyes, the three armies in the estuary of the river embraced Shuangjing, and the tiger tent chief opened his own army. The lock-up villains are in a rage,

The veteran is strong. The water gate is noisy to the evening tea merchants, and the bridge city is an all-night drinker. In autumn, Liang Wangchi Pavilion is good, and new songs are scattered into the orchestral sound. ”

Master Li took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Big brother, life is like a dream, how do I feel that this is really like a different world, after many hardships, I didn't expect us to meet in Bianliang, the capital of Ruoda." And you also became the general of Huwei, this is really a god's eye! ”

Luda said: "Yingying, things in the world are like this, there are often many unexpected things, which will happen suddenly anytime and anywhere. My biggest wish now is to bring down Tong Fei's dog official and bring him to justice. In this way, the border soldiers who also succumbed to death could be blinded under the nine springs. ”

Master Li said: "Big brother, I believe that the emperor will be able to uphold justice and justice." ”

Luda said: "I am really worried in my heart that the emperor will not be able to administer justice, because there is Tong Guan in the way, and things may not be as simple as we imagined." ”

Master Li said: "No, I don't think the emperor will protect Tong Fei, this is a major matter involving Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

Luda said: "Let's not think about it here, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, if the emperor does not preside over justice, I will kill Tong Fei that dog official in the end." Give the emperor a seal to resign, and fly away. ”

Master Li said: "General Lu, it's time for lunch, why can't you, the general, let the little sister stand here." ”

Luda said: "Look at me, I'm thinking about how to bring down Tong Fei's affairs, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

Master Li said: "You invite me to eat there, what do you eat?" ”

Luda said: "I invite you to eat Huang Ji soup dumplings." ”

Master Li clapped his hands and exclaimed happily: "Okay, the buns there are very delicious." I ate there once when I first came to Kaifeng. After that, Li Yun's mother never let me go again. ”

Ruda said: "Okay, let's go." ”

Soup dumplings were the royal diet in the early years of Song Renzong. Later, it spread from the palace to the people. Located on the left bank of the Bianshui River, Huang Ji Steamed Bun Shop is a chic two-house restaurant with a unique two-house structure, and the shopkeeper here is Chef Huang, the imperial chef who served the emperor back then.

After Chef Huang retired from the palace, he built three small shops on the riverside and started the soup dumplings, which have been in operation for seven or eight years to form today's scale.

Huang Ji's xiaolongbao is steamed as you eat and is served on the table; Its shape: "Lift a lock of silk." Put down a thin ball, the skin is like a chrysanthemum heart, and the filling is like a rose.

The soup dumplings are beautiful in form, their contents are exquisite and chic, and the meat filling and fresh soup live in the same room. Eating it, it will integrate the northern country to eat noodles, meat, and soup, which is a kind of integrated charm. Eating soup dumplings, the presence of soup ranks first, followed by meat filling, and dough second. Therefore, after eating the soup buns, I was the first to remember the freshness of the soup, the meat filling is almost like the soup into the taste senses, and the dough can almost be ignored except for the chewiness.

Eating Kaifeng soup dumplings is an important process. The soup dumplings have thin skin, white as Jingdezhen ceramics, and have a sense of transparency. There are 32 seiko kneading crepe folds on the bun, which are so uniform that they can't be done. Resting on the white porcelain plate, the soup dumplings are like white chrysanthemums, and they are clamped up and hung like lanterns. This process of aesthetic appreciation is indispensable. When you eat it, there is meat filling inside, and there is fresh soup at the bottom. Kaifeng people eat soup dumplings and have such a sentence: "Open the window first, then drink the soup, and then fill the mouth." ”

Luda and Master Li walked into the store, came to a table and sat down, ordered two side dishes, asked for eight steamed buns, and ate them sweetly.

It's just that the two people eat differently, Master Li took the chopsticks, gently picked up a bun, handed it to his mouth and took a small bite gently, slowly sucked off the soup inside, and then ate the bun one by one.

And Ruda took the chopsticks, picked up the buns and threw them in his mouth one by one, chewed them and swallowed them in his stomach.

The eight steamed buns were quickly swept away, and Ruda knocked on the table and shouted, "Man, here are the four steamed buns." ”

Soon, a young man ran over with four steamed buns, put them on the table and said, "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”

At this moment, the sharp-eyed guy recognized the strong man eating buns in front of him at a glance. The guy shouted loudly: "Come and see, this person who defeated the wild donkey of the Liao State in the ring competition of the Genyue Lantern Festival in the first month." ”

When the diners heard this, they couldn't care about eating, so they suddenly gathered around the seats of Luda and Master Li, and surrounded the place. Even the guests who were eating on the second floor ran down.

Ruda hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your love." Let's go back to our seats and eat. ”

People are willing to leave, but they are still crowded. Luda pulled up Master Li and said to the onlookers: "I'm sorry." "Squeezed out of the crowd and left here.

After walking more than ten feet away, I looked back and saw that people were still standing at the door of the hotel and watching.

Master Li covered his mouth and grinned, "Hehe! This makes people afraid of being famous, and pigs afraid of being strong; I won't let you stop eating. ”

Luda said: "It seems that I can only hide and eat in a place where no one can see me in the future." (To be continued.) )

PS: Good morning, friends!

I wish you all happiness and happiness, face life with hope, and face life with a smile.
