Chapter 208: On paper, it is shallow

That night, there was a big feast in the house, the Zheng family's female chef who made a good dish was too busy, fortunately, there was a cook from the Yan Mansion to help him, after all, the table was generally served out, among which there were the obedient officials from Fusang brought back the Jing chef and his lady Aiko Iijima, chopped a good hand of fish, when it was really as thin as paper, its color was like jade, "Analects" said [脍 can not be its sauce not eat], "Book of Rites" said [脍, autumn with mustard], Guan, Yusheng also, the peak is the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has very few people eat like this, but, The fish is mainly to take care of the princesses of Fusang, but the taste is indeed unique, but it is full of praise from Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru, and the national abbot also said yes, and personally called the Jing chef and the lady to come, and rewarded two ingots of snowflake silver.

Every time he watched his father's score, the obedient official was frightened, and he threw 300,000 yuan out to Cao Yuanyang, which was to engage in public opinion, but his father's score, I really don't know what it is, but when I saw the slight crampedness in the eyes of Chiyo, Cha Cha and others, I still understood some of my father's thoughts.

Zheng Liancheng became the abbot not long ago, the rules of the family are not big, the banquet at night, that is also the people in the market, sit down to eat together, naturally, Zhong Mingding cannibal people have all kinds of rules, such as who can not go to the table, who can only serve on the side, but since the abbot does not care, naturally everyone sits down to eat together, only the maid and the mother-in-law are waiting next to them, and those maids and mother-in-law who borrowed from the Yan family are also surprised, it is said, how can this father-in-law and daughter-in-law eat together! Inevitably, it is too unsophisticated, Wu Songwu's second master and sister-in-law Pan Jinlian can sit together to eat, that is a low status, but this is the head of the country's family!

These people naturally don't dare to talk too much, before coming, the old housekeeper of the Yan family also said that no matter what you see, you don't have many mouths and tongues, if there is half a trace of it outside, it doesn't matter if you beat it to death with a cane.

The obedient official naturally sat with his father and Dong Chen, and there was an aunt and grandmother next to the national abbot, and then, it was the old man Chixia, Shan Chixia refused to sit alive, and the national abbot almost turned his face and said, "Brother Chixia, the obedient official came back after going out for more than half a year, and I am happy today, no matter those respects and humility, you don't give me this little face!" "Master Chixia sat down at this time, in fact, Dong Chen and the others knew very well, this is the Guozhang taking this opportunity to point out Shan Chixia's status in the family, so that others can know that this is my lifelong friendship, don't think it's a subordinate.

They have the least number of people at this table, the sister-in-law next to the abbot, and then the son, the master Chixia is sitting on the other side of the abbot in a position, and then there are the two young masters Dong Chen, and the big head is also sitting at the bottom, it can be said that this is the pattern of the Guozhang Mansion now, and Xiao Douzi didn't dare to sit on it anyway, so he waited beside him.

And the Seven Fairies have their own table, and they are specially served by maids and mothers-in-law, but they can't sit with their aunts and fathers as before.

And the princesses of Fusang, into the abbot's mansion, is also worried, no matter what, this is the Ming Kingdom, thousands of years have fallen, Fusang has always been the suzerain, although they are all princesses of each family, congenitally feel that they want to be a head shorter, and the abbot has a special mind to pluck and beat, can you not be worried! These Fusang princesses, the abbot specially set a large table, surrounded by a circle of rose chairs, this rose chair is actually a reduced circle of Taishi chairs, but the backrest is not high, suitable for boudoir and other places, for example, in various portraits of young ladies sitting in the window Sichun, most of them sit on this rose chair.

Among the princesses, faintly want to respect the princess of Ashi, because the Oda family was almost unified Fuso, this princess is also famous, almost no one knows, not to mention that this time to cross the sea to the Ming Dynasty, Chacha, Achu, Xiaodu The three princesses are afraid that they will all become people around the white palace, and the weight of speech is naturally heavy (it is said that the monkey family celebrates the New Year or holds a tea party, Maeda Toshi's wife Mrs. Matsu is qualified to participate, and can drink the monkey's head tea, which is talked about by the literati of the Edo period. At that moment, Ah Shi took the princesses to thank them, and then they sat down one by one.

The difference between Daming and Fusang sitting does not need to be detailed, the gorgeous Tang clothes of the princesses are too long, which was originally more obstructive, but the back of the rose chair is very short, and it can only reach the waist, so Ah Shi put the long skirt and covered the back of the chair.

Although the prince doesn't pay attention to any rules, the various dishes served by the flowing water still shocked the princesses, and the Daimyo of Fusang is only able to eat white rice than ordinary people, or many two fish, a few pieces of dried radish and a bowl of soup, and a big feast is just a few dishes and a soup, which is only a handful, but what is the spectrum of Daming? A rich family is worth 100 gold, and the people in the market drink two sips of wine, so they also have to kill chickens and cook fish, and maybe there are all kinds of seasonal fresh fruits, not to mention the banquet held in the Guozhang Mansion! Although this is a family banquet, but also pay attention to the cold spell twenty-four flavors, hot dishes twenty-four flavors, the best soup is also boiled several, all kinds of fried and fried, dozens of fresh fruits, like Ah Chu, first of all frightened, she likes to read the Ming dialect, from the book can also see some Ming people eat dozens of flavors, but the paper is finally shallow, where such a plate, a plate, a bowl, a basin is brought up to the eye, first did not dare to stretch out the chopsticks, suddenly exposed the filling, next to the Yan family's maids and women one by one eyes are very spicy, Immediately, I felt that these Fusang princesses were the princesses of a small country in Fanbang, and it was nothing more than that, they looked gorgeous from the outside, but they looked like goods, and they were not worthy of their own young lady's bearing.

The obedient official sat on other tables and had a headache, he didn't expect this situation, he had already given everyone an internship on the ship, but they turned around and returned to Daming, the ballast pigs and sheep were gone in the first place, and the materials were insufficient, and the Jing chef could only make a dozen dishes to make a look, and most of them were still sashimi, and more than a dozen dishes could not control Princess Fusang after all, but the family banquet of the national abbot, plus all kinds of seasonal fresh fruits, candied fruit snacks, this is a hundred flavor dishes.

In addition, this banquet is placed in the middle of the lotus pond water pavilion, the lights are bright all around, there are servants and slaves carrying lanterns every ten steps, the maid and the woman are endless, looking from the lotus pond, like a fire dragon in the night, the building that was once inscribed by the obedient official, is set off under the lantern to Qionglou Yuyu, this kind of wealth, by no means the four-story castle tower of Fuso can be compared.

Therefore, why did the good official and Zhong Li joke that the daughter of the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom is said to be in good shape, and Zhongli's brother can consider marrying a princess of Fanbang, but Zhongli pouted and disdained, and the reason is here, at this time, Da Ming, looking at other countries, just like Citigroup looking at other countries five hundred years later, always feel that others are third-class countries, and then there is a natural sense of superiority.

However, the good official didn't dare to talk much, and at the age of fourteen, he brought a lot of women from ten to thirty years old, and the women who could sit at the table together, not to mention that there were many people who couldn't go to the table, did he dare to speak, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Guozhang looked at this big family, and sighed in his heart, after all, he didn't say anything about the good official, he also listened to the words of Dong Chen and the others, the good official is alone overseas, he can do such a big thing, how can it be done without marriage! Although I really want to beat my son, I still can't give it up after all.

The atmosphere was a little indifferent when the banquet first opened, however, there was a big head of this pistachio, he jumped out first to tell the story of Fusang, how the young master cleaned up the Fusang people, at this time it was only about 20 years since the Jiangnan troubles and the Japanese invaders, although the people of Jiangnan also did business with Fusang, but for the Japanese Kou, it was still shouted and beaten by everyone, such as the bombardment of the Wudao Islands This kind of thing naturally can't be said, but it can be said that he sneaked into the army of 100,000 alone to kill the enemy chieftain. And the elder brother of the lord of Fuso, an eighty-year-old monk swore as a brother, and this can also be said.

The eloquence of the big head is naturally not good, but the magic is that the eloquence is not good, and the people who listen to it believe it even more, some people originally heard the words of the uncle of the country who killed the enemy chieftain alone, and the story of the storyteller's processing, naturally lost the prototype, listened to the pleasure, and inevitably had three points of suspicion, listening to the big head, only then did I know that there were still people around the uncle at that time, with a dozen short Buddha Lang machines to protect the uncle, and the 100,000 army outside, there was also the army of the king of Qin, the uncle of the country was eloquent, and the princes of the Fusang families came to surrender, Willing to send the princess to serve the uncle.

In fact, Shan Sinan mainly talked about it to the Seven Fairies, those servants and maids were just listening to the extra money, and if Ruo Ruo often asked these two particularly favored Miss Cousin, and the big head simply sang and harmonized, the good official had to smile bitterly, and said that if there is still the potential to be a compliment, the big head is a stinky boy, it is really a lot of words.

This meal is not pleasant, but the national abbot is not angry, the good official is very satisfied, the so-called sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently, Dad can't accept it for a while, but he will understand after all.

After the banquet was eaten, the princesses of Fusang got up and knelt down and retreated, and the seven fairies were also taken down by the maids and women to rest, and the servants and women also retreated, and finally there was only the table of the national abbot.

The wine was gone, the food was cold, the good official carried it in his heart, knowing that his father was afraid that he was going to ask questions, so he gritted his teeth and simply explained it himself!

"Dad, there are still two who dare not be brought ashore, if you want to scold, just scold!" The obedient official got up and knelt in front of Zheng Liancheng, and her aunt Ai Meiniang wanted to persuade her, but looking at her brother-in-law's face, she finally held back.

It's all here, and Guozhang doesn't care about two more, "What's the other two called?" This bunch of Fuso princesses, don't tell your father and me, and there are two princesses of Franc Ji......"

You see, the so-called prophecy is actually just that.

"One of them is called Isabella. Antreep. Francisco, is it ......" The good official said this, paused, but the abbot sat on the chair with his head, his body was already shaking, this name is clearly a Franco, is it possible that he was right? Dong Chen and the others looked at each other, never expecting that Feng Zhang had been out for half a year and was in such a strange situation.

"Yes, a countess." The obedient official honestly confessed, "It seems to be a distant cousin of the kings of Spain and Portugal or something......"

The abbot's eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fell headlong, countess? If a woman is made an earl, doesn't that mean that she is more powerful than the princess of the county?

"Also...... And what about the other one? The country's uncle trembled, and at this time his son said that he had hooked up with the queen mother's daughter, and he had no choice but to believe it.

Belch! The obedient official's face was strange, "Dad, I said, don't be angry!" ”

"You tell Lao Tzu." The national abbot didn't care about what to move his body to, so the obedient official lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Sanpin...... Commanded ......"

Zheng Guozhang suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "What?" You...... You...... Say it again? ”

stretched out his head and stabbed his head, and the obedient official said loudly: "It's the wife of the Duan family I killed, and now the lady of the Sanpin Command." ”

Listening to the thunder in the silent place, in the night, the harmonious frog chirping in the lotus pond was suddenly interrupted by Uncle Guo's loud voice, Guozhang was dumbfounded, and the rest of the people looked at each other, for a while, there was no speech.

From the beginning of Jiajing to Longqing and Wanli, the folk customs gradually opened, and the romance novels were poisonous for a while, such as a book published in the Wanli period, "The History of Waves", the story expounds the life of Qiantang Xiucai Mei Suxian, among which Zhao Damiang persuaded her daughter Miaoniang to have sex with her husband, saying [What is the shame? When I saw my lover, I lost my name, and I was also in love. Later, the mother and daughter served a husband together, and the end wrote that this Xiucai [also ascended the yellow armor, gave the Jinshi background, and the prodigal son did not listen to the choice, and was used at home to tell the sick, and married seven beauties, a total of twenty rooms, and finally said that the poems were drunk, and they were happy. ]

Therefore, it is not uncommon for mothers and daughters to spend in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone who reads knows the wonders, but it is indeed unheard of for this court to have three orders in the room, who dares to have such an idea?

This is a three-grade edict, which is equal to the rank of a province's feudal commander.

"You, you, you ......" Guozhang pointed to his son who was kneeling on the ground with a trembling mouth, "You are crazy! It's going to cost you a head. ”

"Guozhang." Xiao Douzi hurriedly knelt down, "Guozhang Rongyu, this is Concubine De's idea, and the emperor also knows it." ”

Silent.

After a long time, the national uncle felt physically and mentally exhausted, this son and daughter, all of them had hard wings, forget it, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let them be, sighed long, took up the half cup of residual wine on the table and drank it up, got up and left, the wind blew, the wine was on the head, and the feet were inevitably a little staggering, Ai Mei Niang felt sorry for her brother-in-law, and said to the obedient official with her eyes: Don't make your father angry. chased after him and reached out to support his brother-in-law.

As soon as the national uncle left, the obedient official jumped up, "Big head, young master, I was miserable by you." ”

Shan Chixia smiled, watching his son and the young master chase, he didn't think that the young master was doing things inappropriately, killing people was nothing more than that, marrying some princesses and earls, it was not a big deal, since the young lady also knew it in the palace, it would be no big deal, after all, the master still remembered his wife, and felt that the young master was ridiculous.

I, an old man, am tired of things, and I won't stay here to be with young people, Shan Chixia said secretly in her heart, so she got up and said a word to the good official, and also retreated.

At this time, Chen Jiru was excited and grabbed the good official, "Fengzhang, hurry up, tell me and Xuanzai, how did you go through Fusang?" "He and Dong Qichang both understood, and the ghost believed that the lord of Fusang would bow to the uncle of the Heavenly Empire! It must have been a Franc cannon knocking on the door.

Xiao Douzi took a look at it and hurriedly said, "The slave maid went to prepare some cold red wine for Uncle Guo." And the good official sighed, "It's a long story......

The three brothers talked, and after a long time, Bao Yiman Behori came over quietly, and the two of them first startled Dong Chen and the others, and the obedient official smiled and continued to tell the story of Fusang to the two...... It wasn't until the sky turned white that the obedient official made it clear that Dong Chen and the others were fascinated, such a thing of opening up the territory and remote land was almost equivalent to sealing the wolf Juxu, which was an indefatigable achievement, and he never expected that Feng Zhang could achieve such a great thing in just half a year.

sighed for a long time, Dong Qichang said at this time: "Fengzhang, I estimate that you will enter Beijing soon, and Zhong Yu and I will also accompany you to Beijing!" ”

"Brother's words are wrong!" The obedient official looked at Chen Jiru, this guy is a [***] Confucian guy in history who is willing to be an official? What's more, his temper directly reprimanded the Jinshi for being too big, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke tightly.

"When I read one of the sentences in the "Collected Works of Mr. Jing Chuan" [like a proverb that opens the mouth to see the throat], I was thinking, the imperial court has a newspaper, why can't we run a newspaper ourselves? In this way, public opinion is all in control of my hands, which is called a mouthpiece. The obedient official shook hands, knocked on the table, and then looked at Chen Jiru, "Zhong Yu is the most appropriate thing to do, is it an official, I'm afraid he himself will not will." ”

Chen Jiru laughed, got up and patted the obedient official on the shoulder, "It's still Fengzhang who knows me, and being an official with those cuoda, won't it cost me the face of the world's stormy unicorn!" ”
