Chapter 544: Golden Carp Fish
Gu Fanghua smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes, and she didn't have the demeanor of the ladies in Jiangnan who didn't show her teeth at all.
But the strange thing is that she looks generous and graceful when she makes it, which makes Mei Ziran appreciate it more than those twisting and pinching hypocrisy.
"Cousin of the Mei family, what's so rare about this golden carp?"
Mei Ziran asked the servant woman to take the golden carp and instructed: "Soak it in the best Huadiao wine, and let them make fish in a while." Princess, the flavor of this golden carp is very different, and legend has it that it can make people not know the taste of meat in March. ”
"Really? Can it be better than the golden jade of the Drunken Moon Building? ”
Gu Fanghua was a little unconvinced, and Mei Ziran smiled calmly: "Although I have never been to the Zuiyue Tower in the capital, I have tasted the golden jade. But how can those domesticated carp be better than these March Lake, which have been wild for ten years? ”
"Also, Zuiyue Lou doesn't have such a big carp, speaking of which, I'm a little looking forward to it."
Gu Fanghua asked about some legends of March Lake again, and Mei Ziran said it with words, mixed with poems and songs, which were catchy, and Gu Fanghua was also satisfied.
However, what satisfied Gu Fanghua the most was the fish made of golden carp.
Remove the head and scales, disembowel and break the belly from the middle, clean it with old flower carvings, and only take the most essential places on both sides of the back of the golden carp. Ten catties of carp, only about one catty of fish pieces were taken out.
Then cut the snow-white and thick fish into thick slices that are palm-sized and half-finger-wide. A large piece, without adding any seasoning, is directly sent to the mouth, and the aftertaste is sweet and melts in the mouth.
"This taste is really better than the golden jade in Zuiyue Tower, cousin of the Mei family, you can taste it too."
"Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will also taste this legendary delicacy. If I hadn't tasted it today, I would have doubted that there would be a golden carp in March Lake. ”
Gu Fanghua and Mei Ziran talked and laughed, and soon halfway up the moon.
Originally, there was a huge rock in the lake, and there was a big hole in the middle, but now from this hole, you can really see the reflection of the three moons.
"These March screenings are the same, and they really live up to their reputation."
Gu Fanghua had just finished sighing, but in less than a time to inject incense, there was only one reflection left in the three months.
"Cousin of the Mei family, do you know how this wonder came about?"
Mei Ziran showed a hint of yearning and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is the right person, if you had asked this a few years ago, it is estimated that no one would have been able to give her highness the princess an answer." ”
"Oh? Now the mystery is solved? ”
Gu Fanghua was interested, and Mei Ziran exclaimed: "Yes!" The one who uncovered the mystery was passed by here five years ago, Liaodong Xiao Yao. Can Her Royal Highness the Princess know? ”
"Xiao Yao, naturally I know, isn't he the champion last year? Besides, I also acted as the emperor, and together with the five princes, I went to Liaodong to supervise the army. ”
Gu Fanghua did not deny it, and generously admitted that he had a lot of friendship.
It's just that what Gu Fanghua didn't expect was that the cousin of the Mei family, who looked cold, actually had a fanatical admiration for Xiao Yao.
"Really? Your Highness the Princess! Since you and Xiao Yao know each other, can you please introduce me when I have the honor to go to Beijing in the future? ”
Gu Fanghua looked at Mei Ziran funny, and said with a smile: "Cousin of the Mei family, you don't want to make friends like this, but it's a bit like going to meet your sweetheart." ”
"Princess! Xiao Yao is a model of talent in the world, and everyone in the world says that the aura of the world is ten, everyone accounts for seven points, and Xiao Yao accounts for three percent. ”
Mei Ziran was only eleven years old at the time, and she was fortunate to see Xiao Yao's demeanor, which is still unforgettable.
"Don't brag, you better tell me how he solved the mystery, right?"
Mei Ziran pointed to the boulder cave and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you see, the mountains on both sides are particularly steep. And on this cliff on the left, there is a place, smooth as jade. Whenever the moon reaches the middle of the mountain, about three minutes in the hour, the moonlight shines on the jade-like cliffs, and the moonlight is reflected to form this unique scenery of the lake in March. ”
"Really? Where is that jade-like cliff? Can I take a look? ”
Gu Fanghua was a little curious, he had seen both sides of the March Lake, but he didn't find anything special, how did Xiao Yao find out?
Mei Ziran was a little ashamed and said: "That steep jade, you can't see it on the lake by boat." You have to climb to the opposite hill, from high to low, to get a glimpse. Without Xiao Yao's civil and military skills, ordinary people have no chance to find out. ”
"I see, Xiao Yao, I really have some ability."
Gu Fanghua poured a glass of wine casually, raised her hand slightly as if to respect Mingyue, and then drank it gently.
Xiao Yao, what are you doing now?
And Xiao Yao in the capital was also drinking under the moon, and sitting opposite him was Ye Shisan.
"You, the new champion, are not in the Champion Mansion, what are you doing here with me? is not afraid of the emperor and the crown prince to blame. ”
Ye Shisan was in good spirits, his eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, you're just thinking about it, and it's not a trap, why can't I see it?" ”
"Really? Can you come in through the gate during the day? ”
Xiao Yao's words pierced, and Ye 13 said: "Isn't this a charming night, I want to take advantage of the bright moon to have three drinks with you?" ”
Xiao Yao stopped talking, and only held the pot and poured him a glass of wine.
The two drank silently for a few rounds, but did not speak again, as if they really just came to drink. It wasn't until the second watch that Ye 13 got up and left through the side door.
Xiao Yao didn't send it off, and silently took another sip, and there was a commotion outside the courtyard.
"Young master, the old lady is very wrong, and that is also your own grandmother! Now she's sick to death, and she wants to see you one last time! ”
Mama Wei's voice was a little hoarse, originally the voice was not loud, but fortunately it was at night, and Xiao Yao could hear it clearly.
"Young Master! Please, go see the old lady! ”
Xiao Yao finally put down the wine cup, got up and came to the outside of the courtyard, Mama Wei saw Xiao Yao come out, wiped her eyes busily, and trotted in front to lead the way.
When Xiao Yao came to a courtyard, before he entered the door, he already smelled a strong smell of medicine.
"Has the Imperial Doctor come to see you?"
"Back to the young master, after reading it, I only said that the old lady was too worried and couldn't work hard. But the old lady regretted the past and could not sleep day and night. ”
Mama Wei said cautiously, and stepped forward to open the curtain.
Xiao Yao stepped into the inner room, and a rotten breath came to his face, he was stunned, and understood that his grandmother was afraid that her life would not be long.
When I looked up again, there was a person lying in the thick futon on the bed, and I couldn't see my figure. But the silver thread still surprised Xiao Yao.
When the edict came to the palace, my grandmother only had gray temples. But I haven't seen him for a few days, so why is it so old.
Xiao Yao was in a somewhat complicated mood, and slowly came to the bed and knelt down.
"Grandmother, grandmother." ”
Lord Fuling opened her eyes with great effort, and under the not-so-bright candlelight, Xiao Yao's beautiful and handsome face came into her eyes.
She raised her hand with a little difficulty, as if she wanted to touch Xiao Yao.
