Chapter 22 Mrs. Wei who has done better than she spoke
Mrs. Wei listened to Shen Fuzhi's questioning, and knew that the other party's hostility and anger had been extinguished a lot, so she mixed helplessness in her tone like a condiment.
"Alas, Brother Ke'er is also a child of our farming family, how can he always be crazy. When he was young, he was frail and could not learn anything like polo, so in addition to teaching articles, the old man took him to read poetry. The child loves to read Liu Qi (Liu Yong)'s words, and I think that because of this hobby, a man's temperament slowly gave birth to the soft intestines of his daughter's family. or self-pity, weakness and illness, and their minds are inevitably uncertain. In addition, Yao Niangzi's marriage was originally decided, and suddenly it became a mirror, for various reasons, she got into the horns of the cow and fell into the devil's horn for a while, and almost broke into a catastrophe......"
Yao Huan listened, and said in his heart, you have to twist and turn, tactful, if you change a few words to rhyme, and then make a few line breaks, you can almost write a new word.
When Zeng Ke wanted to strangle me, he obviously screamed and said that I had hurt him, where was the resentment that I did not worship with him and enter the cave room?
But after she got out of danger, she didn't say this thoughtful and terrifying section in front of everyone, she just hoped to get out of Zeng's mansion with her aunt as soon as possible, return to her home safely, and then talk slowly to her aunt Shen Fuzhi, so at this moment, she would not turn it out and puncture Mrs. Wei's words.
Shen Fuzhi will naturally be skeptical.
However, she thought the same as Yao Huan, don't make another incident in this evil Zeng Mansion, if there is a doubt, I don't know if I should talk about it or not, just swallow it back into my stomach and don't talk about it.
"Mrs. Wei said this, Sister Huan and I understood. The fate of brother and sister in this life is not enough, so you can't force it, so let's end this matter. ”
Mrs. Wei was indeed calm when she heard what Shen Fuzhi said, nodded and said, "My aunt is a soft-hearted and reasonable person, and I thank my aunt for her understanding." By the way, listen to Da Lang, my aunt intends to take care of Erlang Jun of Bachelor Su's family? ”
Shen Fu Zhizhi: "How dare I, a person in a business shop who cooks and trades, dare to call the word 'Zhaofu', but because before Shen Gong went west, he was still concerned about the gentleman's friendship with Master Su's family, and I was a nephew of the clan who had received the great favor of Shen Gong, so I naturally wanted to do my best to comfort Shen Gong's spirit in the sky." This matter has been resolved. ”
Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "Auntie, you probably don't know, the cardinal minister also had a little friendship with Master Su in his early years, after all, they are all the same Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou." Aunt rest assured, the matter of Su Jiaerlang Su Yu's stay in Beijing has been recorded by the prime minister, and he will definitely put his heart and soul into it. ”
"Jiayu 2nd year"!
As soon as Yao Huan heard about this year, a heart that loved the history of the Tang and Song dynasties that had grown savagely in his previous life immediately jumped excitedly.
Any fan of Song history will not be indifferent when he hears this year!
Song Renzong, a generation of Ming monarchs recognized by later generations, was open to speech and kind to scribes during his reign. In such an atmosphere of thirst for talent, the cultural prosperity of the Song Dynasty reached a period of unprecedented and unprecedented, a landmark example is the "Jiayou two-year scientific expedition dragon and tiger list".
The chief examiner of the imperial examination that year was Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary league, and under his auspices, 388 scholars were admitted this year, which was the highest number in the history. There are many people on the list of Jinshi who have left a separate "biography" in the history of official revision, and a few names are the top traffic of that era: Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Cheng Hao, Zhang Zai, Yang Ji, Zhang Dan, Lu Huiqing, Wang Shao......
It was only later, these conspirators, each of whom embarked on different paths to support Wang Anshi's reform and oppose Wang Anshi's reform, and since then they have fallen into endless entanglement and struggle between the party and the other.
Yao Huan couldn't help but sigh that in the second year of Jiayou, only more than 30 years ago, the Great Song Dynasty had gradually turned its back on the political atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.
Is Wang Anshi's change to blame? It doesn't seem to be. But just like in a business, the filthy factional struggle that only the villain can survive will inevitably bring about a situation where bad money drives out good money.
When the wheel of history moves forward more than ten years later, Kaifeng City will be a nest of traitors in the world, and the "Six Thieves of Bianjing" will appear on the stage of the core of power in the Great Song Dynasty and begin their own performances of misleading the country and the people.
"Bring the dishes, Aunt Shen and Mrs. Yao are so frightened, how can they not eat some soup."
Mrs. Wei's words finally pulled Yao Huan back to reality from his melancholy thoughts.
The reality of a blessed mouth after the catastrophe!
The two personal maids brought by Mrs. Wei moved to the door gracefully, took the food table in the hands of the little maids at the door, and carefully brought it to the table that had been placed on the side of the couch.
Lang Zhong, who was bandaging Yao Huan's finger wounds, had completed the tasks assigned by the leaders at this time, picked up the medicine box and retreated with interest.
Yao Huan's eyes swept to the desk silently.
I don't want to turn my eyes away again.
But in the two tables, blue, red, white, yellow, and purple are flowing in five colors, like a small-scale visual feast.
The cyan one is a few half-opened fresh lotus pods, revealing a filling like mutton fat and jade, and the jade color is slightly revealing light pink, looking like a mushroom made of river fish and river shrimp mixed together.
The red one is the ham stewed Saddle Bridge, and the "Saddle Bridge" is the eel segment. Now it is the season of yellow eel fat, and it is the Dragon Boat Festival, the folk have the custom of eating "five yellows", five yellows, namely yellow eel, yellow croaker, cucumber, salted egg yolk and realgar wine.
The white is boiled jade mushrooms in wine, thick palm-sized white lotus-shaped wild mushrooms, put fresh and tender lettuce strips, sprinkle wolfberries, and pour daughter red and simmer until soft and glutinous juice.
Yellow is fried fresh bamboo shoots, the last fresh bamboo shoots of this season, cut into thin slices, slightly wrapped in some flour mixed with condiments, fried in the oil pan, golden and yellow, the people of the time are also called "Xuanjin".
Purple ...... The purple one actually looks like a bowl of steamed rice with purple rice.
Yao Huan muttered, it turns out that there is purple rice in the Central Plains of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The maid brought another pot of soup, which was a shredded white radish soup with shrimp skin.
I only heard Mrs. Wei say: "The cardinal ruler governs the family, advocating simplicity, today I am fortunate to have Yao Niangzi as the righteous daughter of the Dalang couple, but the family banquet is just some ordinary food, and my aunt smiled." ”
"But the fish and shrimp in this Azure Sunset Lotus Bun are made by the old man himself, and the taste is different from the one added to the wine shop outside, and the taste is different, Aunt Feed Yao Niangzi to taste?"
"Well, this ham saddle bridge, just in season, as the saying goes, the small summer eel race body, not to be missed."
"By the way, what about this mushroom and purple rice, a merchant in Yinsheng City, Dali Guoyinsheng City, specially hired a fast horse to send it to the capital. The merchant was in Beijing that year, was troubled by the tax supervisor, and by chance met the cardinal minister, the cardinal minister went to Kaifeng Mansion for him to say a few fair words, and he sent some Yunnan native products to my family every spring and summer over the years. ”
Mrs. Wei talks eloquently, just like the narration of "The Family Banquet of Zengfu on the Tip of the Tongue". It can be heard that she is indeed a treasure of this dish, and she loves it very much, if it weren't for the timely brake of her self-esteem, the subtleties and details of the chatter, I am afraid of more.
Shen Fuzhi and Yao Huan still tacitly felt that although Mrs. Wei's gesture of apology was in place, the flickering deception between the words still made people panic and want to stay away. But at this moment, when she talks about food, she seems to be a different person, with a sincere joy of a pure heart.
