Chapter 41: The Four Treasures of the Champion

Tan Yin and a few people entered the box, and as soon as they sat down, the clever junior came forward to congratulate him, Tan Yin had already prepared some copper plates for Li Zheng, wrapped them in cinnabar paper, so that they could be rewarded to those who begged for praise.

This box is also very particular, the rhombic pane, the glass is clear, the wall is hung with the pen and ink calligraphy and painting of the previous top three, the surrounding flower stands are placed with plum blossoms, orchid grass, and the incense is burned indoors.

Xiao Er is smart, after pouring tea for you, I will introduce the characteristics of the champion building.

There are four famous dishes in this champion building, namely roast duck, roasted noodles, crispy duck feet, and roasted orchid mandarin fish.

This roast duck has just been eaten in Lufu, although the taste is different, but the way to eat it is similar. Roasted pork is roasted on the fire with breast fork meat, while roasting, use a brush dipped in pepper salt water to brush the meat, so that it penetrates into the flavor, the roasted meat is golden in color, the meat is tender and mellow, and the skin is loose and fragrant. The crispy duck paw is simmered with seafood for several hours, which is fragrant and crispy and chewy. Roasted Mandarin Fish is a good flavor of the mandarin fish, wrapped in dog intestines, and then wrapped in a layer of sealed dough, and then roasted on the grill grate with charcoal fire, the mandarin fish is white in color and tender in meat, and the flavor of fresh fragrance is very strong.

Xiao Er has a lot of lip service, this dish makes him boast so much, just listening to the saliva is about to flow down, Yanting asked him to have a copy of each dish, and then ordered some wine and dishes, and let him make a pot of good tea, and then serve a few jars of good wine.

Tan Yin and Lu Qing were whispering.

Lu Qing whispered: "Why didn't I see Xu Linhai today, it stands to reason that he was a first-class and three-yuan in high school, and it was when the spring breeze was proud, how could he be willing to give up such a showman." ”

Tan Yin also replied in a low voice: "I don't know what this person thinks, I knew that he wouldn't come, so I dragged Aya and Amin out, and everyone was panicked." ”

Originally, Tan Yin wanted to drag Yan Ya and Yan Min out, Yan Min was so lively, she couldn't wait to come, but Yan Ya was afraid of meeting Xu Linhai, and Yan Min also felt that she would be even more angry when she saw this person in high school, so she simply didn't come out.

Lu Qing chuckled and said: "Don't worry, three days after the apricot list is unveiled, the nobles in the palace will go to the Great Ci'en Temple to pray for blessings, and the people will also go, and we will be together then." Before, it was cold and you couldn't go out, but then the weather warmed up, and there were many banquets and outings. ”

Everyone toasted to Zhao Xu and Li Zheng, although Li Zheng was calm, he couldn't hide his happiness in the end, he couldn't stand everyone toasting, and his face turned red after a while.

Tan Yin's eyes were on Li Zheng, Zhao Xu saw it and smiled, in the end, Tan Yin looked away embarrassedly, and then thought, anyway, everyone here is an acquaintance, and they all know her affection for Li Zheng, so they let go.

Gu Zijun and Zhang Ziqing have been toasting a few people, and after a while, it was in full swing, the atmosphere was warm, and some people drank a little too high.

Zhang Ziqing held the wine glass and said with a big tongue: "I respect...... Respect the two fellow Jinshi, don't forget each other! After saying that, he drank it all.

Li Zheng pulled Zhang Ziqing and said, "Ziqing, you drank too much!" ”

Zhang Ziqing waved Li Zheng's hand away and said, "I'...... I...... I didn't drink much, you forgot my brother, I didn't ...... No problem, but you...... You can't lose Ayin, if you lose her, I won't spare you...... Spare you. ”

Tan Yin saw that the more he talked, and hurriedly came over to stop him from continuing. She helped Zhang Ziqing sit down on the side, poured him a cup of tea, and asked him to drink a hangover.

The corners of Zhang Ziqing's eyes were red, he exhaled the smell of wine in his mouth, and his speech was intermittent, pulling Tan Yin and said, "Ayin! I've been ...... since I was a kid Since I was a child, I have treated you as my own sister like Ah Xiu, and I went to Jinling this time...... Come to Beijing, Ah Xiu, this stupid girl, has thousands of instructions, let me be optimistic about Li Zheng, you ...... Don't worry, I'll be optimistic about him. ”

Tan Yin heard that Ah Xiu cared about her so much, and she didn't forget to let her cousin stare at her far from home, thinking that she hadn't seen her for a year, her nose was sour.

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "You don't worry about me!" ”

Zhang Ziqing squinted at Li Zheng and said: "You kid is naturally good, but you are too attractive to attract bees and butterflies." ”

Li Zheng hurriedly grabbed a piece of meat and plugged his mouth, "You drank too much, eat something to cushion the mat." ”

Tan Yin looked at Li Zheng, Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Ziqing, you can't talk nonsense, wronged good people, I don't look at indecent things when I participate in the banquet, don't listen to indecent people, you quickly clarify." ”

There are many Kabuki banquets in Beijing, and handsome young talents like Li Zheng are naturally favored by beauties.

Zhang Ziqing came back to his senses for a while, "Oh, yes, yes, you kid is still serious, Ah Yin, we can't wrong...... him" After speaking, he fell headlong on the table, and Tan Yin couldn't wake up no matter how she woke up, which made Tan Yin cry and laugh.

Tan Yin glanced at Li Zheng fiercely, and Li Zheng had no choice but to laugh.

Brother Lu Yin, the son of Shangjing, said: "When men attend banquets, it is normal for some dancing girls to accompany the wine, and it is also the true nature of men to act on the spot. Let's just say that the tigress of the Li Huang family in the household department is famous for her jealousy, although she doesn't let him take a concubine, she can't prevent Lord Li from participating in the banquet, and the daughter's family must not be jealous of the little family. ”

When Lu Qing heard her brother say this, she pursed her lips disapplauded.

Lu Yin is young and handsome, and he is a frequent visitor to the Qinglou with some official children, and he often pretends to be romantic, saying what to win the reputation of the Qinglou.

The families of the powerful generally kept housekeepers, young and beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and the children of the official family sometimes gave each other housekeepers. The Marquis of Jingning's Mansion raised dozens of family plays, and the Marquis of Jingning played with his beautiful concubines and family playwrights all day long, which was enough to arrange a play. Lu Yin is good friends with Zheng Xi, so he is naturally familiar with this.

Lu Yin saw Lu Qing's disapproving look, and reprimanded: "What kind of expression do you have, it's you, you don't have any rules in front of everyone, where have you learned the four virtues of women." ”

Lu Qing knew that the current affairs were Junjie, so she was obediently silent, walked to Tan Yin's side and sat down again.

Tan Yin diverted the topic and said: "Cousin, today's apricot list is the most concerned, why didn't I see Xu Linhai." ”

Lu Yin said: "He should have learned the news early in the morning, and there were many girls on the scene, but I was afraid that as soon as he showed up, no one would be able to escape." I heard that the scholar of Shangjing was asking the lady of Yuehualou to prepare a banquet, so he waited to congratulate him, which was another great victory in Shangjing. ”

Yanting has recently inquired about the news of Yuehua Building, the three major Oiran of Yuehua Building, namely Green Waist, Concubine, and Fine Niang, as well as Meiniang, who has become famous recently.

As her name suggests, she is charming, beautiful and affectionate, and her color and art are unique, I don't know how many princes and grandsons want to kiss Fangze, but she fell in love at first sight with Xu Linhai, who had just entered Beijing.

Lu Qing leaned into Tan Yin's ear and whispered: "My brother wants to be a guest of the concubine but can't, my heart is sour!" ”

Yan Ting frowned when she heard Yuehualou's concubine, Tan Yin rolled her eyes in her heart, this Xu Linhai, on the one hand, came to Lu Mansion and said with a sincere face that she wanted to marry Yan Ya, so that the Gao family could listen to her words and watch her deeds; On the other hand, he did not delay in entering and exiting the Qinglou, and chanted poetry with the Oiran, there are Yunxian in Hangzhou, there are concubines in Beijing, and there may be other unknown beauties.

Gu Zijun spoke quickly, turned to Gao Yanting and said, "Didn't Xu Zifei propose to your second sister?" How do you have anything to do with these dancing girls? ”

Zhao Xu didn't drink much, and said lightly: "Xu Zifei is covered in Beijing, and he has dealings with many literati, and those Qinglou female dancers are just accompaniment, the second lady must not be so jealous!" ”

Gu Zijun turned to Zhao Xu and said: "Dongsheng, this is a bad statement, women are jealous because they love their husbands, and if they don't love them, they will naturally not be jealous." If Xu Zifei wants to marry the second girl, then naturally she has to take into account her feelings, how can she still have something to do with others? It's too unfair to the second girl. ”

Tan Yin and Lu Qing both looked at Gu Zijun with wide eyes, Gu Zijun was covered with goosebumps when she saw the direct admiration of the two of them, and whispered for a while: "I also heard what my sisters said, when I was a child, my brother-in-law made my sister angry, and they ran back and cried so much, the lake in my house, I don't know how many of their tears were contained." ”

Oh, and forget he had five older sisters!

Zhao Xu was suddenly stunned by what he said, and he never seemed to have thought of this answer.

Lu Yin listened disapprovingly, and said to Yan Ting: "Cousin, it's not that I said the second cousin, it's too hypocritical." Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, doesn't a woman choose a husband to see if she can give her a phoenix crown, gold and silver jewelry, and a group of slaves! ”

Gu Zijun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Lu, it is true that many women are like what you said, but there are also many women who would rather not have a phoenix crown, as long as her husband loves her and protects her, just like that Sima is like Zhuo Wenjun, you can't generalize." ”

"How can a man have only one woman, a teapot and several cups in his life! Didn't this Sima Xiangru also take a concubine later? Lu Yin disagreed.

This famous couple in history later ended with Zhuo Wenjun's "Wen Jun has two intentions, and the ancient times have broken each other", although they later got back together, isn't it ironic!

Yan Ting picked up a piece of roast duck and put it in his mouth, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender and juicy, sure enough, the taste was much more delicious than the first time I ate it in Lufu, I still remember that Aunt Chen was proud of her roast duck at that time, and several girls ate duck like a fish in their throats, and the eldest aunt was angry.

Lu Yin tapped the table and continued: "Women should be beautiful in terms of softness, and one of the seven is jealousy, can you still not let your husband come into contact with other women?" Besides, with Xu Zifei's appearance and talent, does she still want to dominate him alone for the rest of her life, that charming girl is charming, icy and snowy, and her whole heart is on him. Since Xu Linhai took the initiative to come to the door to plead, she should go down the steps, do you really think that she is a Nine Heavens Fairy descending to earth! "He also seemed a little drunk and talked more and more.

Tan Yin tore a piece of grilled salmon and handed it to Lu Yin, "Cousin, you drank a lot of wine, eat some fish to fill your stomach." ”

After Lu Yin finished eating the fish, he burped, smelled of wine, and said to Tan Yin: "Cousin Ayin, Brother Li is now a fellow jinshi, this future is bright, you have to cherish it, you can't be as unreasonable as Yanya, and make a little trouble whenever something happens, this is Shangjing, not you Wujiang countryside." You have no brothers and sisters, and if you are not docile, there will be no place to cry. ”

Yan Ting patted Lu Yin's shoulder at this time, "I said Brother Yin, what are you talking about, Ayin is also my Miss Gao family, with our brothers and sisters, can you still let others bully you?" The girl of the Gao family has been pampered since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will have some small temperament, if she goes to her husband's house all day long, she will not even have a place to cry, what is the use of my life as a brother. ”

Li Zheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, how could he be willing to let Tan Yin be wronged.

Yan Ting continued: "Yan Ya is naturally not a Nine Heavens Fairy, but the daughter of the Gao family grew up like a pearl and jade, if she is spoiled by a bastard who doesn't know how to cherish it, then my Gao family is full of dead people." ”

Tan Yin felt that something seemed to be rolling in her eyes, and she was afraid of being seen, so she quickly turned her head.
