Chapter 44: Inheritance
A cooking competition ended in an ending that no one expected.
The twists and turns were also unexpected, so that when the guests went back, they were still stunned with a capital letter on their faces.
Hearing the test spoon, he didn't dare to shout out about Yan Sui's identity, so in the eyes of everyone, it was Tang Ying who was inexplicably dizzy, and Zhu Dade's face was inexplicably blue.
Two people came on horseback, and they walked in a sedan chair - their legs were weak and they couldn't walk.
For Wen Test Spoon, such a result is also very difficult, strictly speaking, Wen Zhen really can't be regarded as a Wen family. But the matter has come to this point, and I can only accept it, but somehow, every time I see Wen Zhen's sweet smile, I feel bitter in my mouth.
It was as if there were more inappropriate things waiting for him ahead.
If Wen Zhen knew, he would probably praise Mr. Your sixth sense is really good.
She's a person who likes to go with the flow. She doesn't want to do it, but now the female official must be robbed, because she doesn't have Yi Yi to do it, and King Ding can't hand over this book when he comes to take her to Beijing, she will be unlucky every minute, and with the identity of a female official, King Ding will not be able to start.
What's more, because of this battle, she has gained a firm foothold in the Wen family, and the younger generation is now very affectionate to her, and the rest of the people have changed their attitude to be respectful because she is about to soar.
After smelling the taste and knowing the results of the competition, he was silent for a long time, and shouted for Wen Zhen to help him out of the Silent Garden that afternoon.
The bitter taste in the mouth of the test spoon soon spread all over the body - after smelling the smell out of the Mo Garden, all the children had to go to ask for peace, and the elders of the Shundao clan also came to visit, and they didn't let them go back that night, so Wen Zhen made a table of hospitality with his own hands.
This is tantamount to openly acknowledging Wen Zhen's status, and having a meal of honor, at the banquet, Wen Zhiwei handed a box to Wen Zhen in front of his son, and then announced that he was going to go out of his private room to donate an official to Wen Zhen, he had an old acquaintance in the ministry, and it should not be a big problem.
This is tantamount to relieving the position of the head of the Smelling Spoon family in disguise, which came like a thunderbolt, but it did not cause turmoil, and everyone accepted it silently.
Smelling the test spoon and looking around, he only saw the indifferent faces of his brothers and sisters.
In this competition, his approach hurt the hearts of too many people, and the unscrupulous competition resulted in the loss of credibility of the person at the helm.
At the beginning, when he heard that the old father was under house arrest and seized the position of head of the family, he relied on the support of everyone he had gained in reattaching himself to the royal family, but now, because of this incident, he has lost all his help.
Wen Xian Spoon's heart was full of bitterness, he and his four rooms and one mother were compatriots, and it was common for him to be biased, but the reason for recommending Wen Jinchun was more because she was outstanding enough to enter the palace. Focusing resources on the most promising candidates is the choice of the wise.
As long as Wen Jinchun can win, the rest of the people naturally have nothing to say, Wen Jinchun enters the palace, and there is naturally no problem with his position as the head of the family.
However, something happened to hear that it was true.
The clan elders are actually not very satisfied with Wen Zhen's entry into the palace, after all, Mrs. Wen is a son-in-law, although she is the son-in-law of the inverted door, and she inherited the surname of the Wen family, but in the final analysis, she is a foreign surname, and she had a knot in her heart before, and she has not been in contact for many years after that.
However, when the smelly box was handed out, the clan elders shut up.
In the box is the hard work left by generations of imperial chefs, Wen Jinchun begged for many years to smell the smell and did not give it, and now it is given to Wen Zhenzhen, that is the heir.
Wen Zhen was also very helpless, what she said to Mrs. Wen at the beginning was a joke, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Wen family, and she didn't want to accept this favor that was enough to suppress people.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, if you don't take it, you have to take it. In the evening, she wanted to return the box to the smell, but stopped because of the smell of the smell.
"Your grandmother was blind to what was here."
Thousands of hatreds and grievances in the world are only a few thin pages of old paper in the end, precipitating the yellowness of time and the gray of memory.
The first emperor fell in love with the only daughter of the head of the imperial food supervisor, but Wen Yingluo had a marriage contract, and it was just a matter of being clear to the top, so as not to take the wife, but the four young people of the Wen family were eager to cling to it, and the desire for profit was consumed, so they hired a killer to attack the fiancé, and the person had to be rescued desperately by the guards at home, and escaped with his life, but he was blind in one eye, and the matter was quickly poked out by the imperial history platform, and there was a storm in the dynasty. Not to mention the Wen family, the matter broke out, Wen Zhiwei was furious and wanted to tie up his son to ask for the crime, the fourth child of the Wen family was in trouble, he was in trouble, he cried and begged his sister for a night, cried about his sister and brother since he was a child, cried that his wife was pregnant with twins, and the child could not live without a father, begging her to plead with her fiancé's family, as long as the bitter master voluntarily gave up, naturally he would not be guilty.
At that time, the Wen family, except for Wen Zhiwei, disagreed, the rest of the people hoped that Wen Yingluo would come forward, and when the imperial history did not forgive, it seemed that more inappropriate things would be brought out of the Wen family, and if the situation did not develop, it could only fall on the bitter master; Second, after all, the fourth young man is a man, and the fourth aunt's mother's family is quite powerful, and Wen Yingluo, it is impossible to marry into the royal family, and the fiancé's family must also dissolve the marriage contract.
As for whether such a deep hatred is suitable for intercession, and what will happen to Wen Yingluo, who is the direct trigger, to intercede, everyone sighed and avoided it in their minds.
Wen Yingluo naturally refused, but at that time, the four young families made a lot of trouble, and the big-bellied fourth aunt and grandmother took Bai Aya to hang herself at her door, and paid the eldest lady for one corpse and three lives. After a night of trouble, at dawn, Wen Yingluo came out.
only said, "The Wen family has raised me for eighteen years, and since then, it has been paid off." ”
After she went to her fiancé's house, the other party closed the door under resentment, Wen Yingluo knelt in front of the door, or her fiancé opened the door for her, after opening the door, she knelt down step by step, and in front of the unfortunate family and fiancé, she cut her own eyes.
If you lose a glance, I will compensate you for your eyes.
Wen Yingluo has always been a refreshing and crisp woman.
Later, the bitter lord withdrew the complaint, insisting that he was careless, and the first emperor took advantage of the situation to end the matter, and the imperial history could no longer make trouble.
Those eyes burst with infinite joy and brilliance.
Those bloody eyes that rolled down the dust.
Those joys and savedness, joy and pride, those selfish desires and shamelessness hidden behind everyone's grandiose excuses, are the fingers that are inserted into the girl's eyes at that moment, gently forced, and take a person's life.
Wen Yingluo never returned to Wen's house.
A year later, she settled in a poor town.
On the same day, the four young men celebrated the full moon for the twin sons, and the guests were full of congratulatory gifts.
Three years later, she married a poor local scholar.
On the same day, the four young grandmothers of the Wen family were happy to have a daughter. The fourth young man ran the industry with the support of his wife's family, and made a lot of profits, and the three washing banquets for his youngest daughter became more and more grand.
……
Many years later, Wen Zhiwei knew that the whole incident was promoted by the mastermind behind the scenes, the other party was his colleague, who wanted to seek the position of the head of the imperial kitchen supervisor, and coveted the recipes and experience of the Wen family in his hands to serve the royal family for generations.
After knowing the truth, Wen Zhiwei quickly resigned, he was the only one who did not work in the Wen family and died of old age.
Because of this incident, as well as some later events, he made up his mind to start with his next generation, so that the Wen family and the royal family would be completely separated, and never step into the swamp flowing with conspiracy and blood.
However, not everyone thinks this way.
……
Wen Zhen didn't want to either.
She felt that the box was getting hotter.
However, the smell of the next sentence made her want to smash the box on the old man's feet.
"Still thinking about running? Hehe, I advise you to study honestly from today and learn something, otherwise you will soon be the flower fertilizer of Desheng Palace. ”
What is Desheng Palace? Has she been cheated by someone again?
When I went back in the evening and opened the box, there were a few thin pamphlets, the ink was still fresh, one was "Smell and Listen", which was written about the dietary taboos in the palace and the dietary preferences of the nobles who needed to figure out in private; One is "smell and taste", which is mainly the rules and preparation methods of the four o'clock banquets. A book of "Smelling Detectives" is a complete book of poisoning, all kinds of ingenious poisoning methods, identification methods, antidote methods, and some are not poisons, but targeted drugs, but the general nature is the same: harmful.
Wen Zhen thought that it was no wonder that no one would give this box that smelled to the smell, and put the royal family's dietary points and poisoning encyclopedia together, what does this mean?
Thinking about all kinds of strange poisoning techniques and symptoms here, how do these chefs who have served in the palace all their lives know?
Experience comes from life, it's all real, right? Every case is hovering with souls and blood, right?
She flipped through it casually, and saw one of the records, a non-toxic plant called "Shenglihua" was dried and crushed into powder, mixed in the deepest mud of the black swamp of the Great Wilderness, mixed with wall mud and smeared on the wall, there was nothing to do on weekdays, once the precious spices such as ambergris and sandalwood were ignited, the medicine in the wall would slowly exude toxicity, and the poison would not hurt people's lives, but would only make people slowly weakened, hallucinate, depressed, and full of discomfort, and finally die early in the prime of life.
And the other is even more powerful, and did not say how to make it, only said that the kind of poison needs to be artificially oriented, women swallow it is beneficial to the body, but if you swallow a large amount of it during the lactation period, it is ** with poison, it is said that the baby who has been poisoned is not abnormal, and the childhood and adolescence are particularly outstanding, but most of them have strange personalities, there are all kinds of serious quirks that are not uniform, and the psychology and behavior are different from ordinary people, from the beginning of youth, this situation will become more and more serious, the more intentions, the more abnormalities, like a galloping carriage, The end of the gallop is destruction or falling, and in the end it is either crazy or dead, and it is difficult to live long.
Wen Zhen thinks that this second poison is difficult to establish, how can a mother in the world not love her children, who doesn't know all kinds of taboos during lactation, it is still possible to be poisoned in a small dose, it is really unreasonable to swallow a large amount, unless you take the initiative voluntarily, it is even more unspeakable. Tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that children are the guarantee on which harem women rely on their foothold, how can it be detrimental to their children.
She turned a few pages, and saw that the hairs on her body stood on end, and she felt that if she continued to read it, she would be psychologically dark, but she heard that the old man had taken care of her and that the booklet was to be memorized, and it would be destroyed immediately after memorizing. The so-called heirloom of the Wen family cannot be preserved in the world, it is written down temporarily from generation to generation when it is passed on, memorized and destroyed, and then concocted as it is when it wants to be passed on to the next generation.
It's just that there are several books after all, Wen Zhen is in a mood and resistant, where can he memorize it for a while, so he first put it in his own baggage, planning to spend a few days to memorize it and then burn it.
Early the next morning, Wen Zhen got up, because King Ding's car finally arrived.
