Chapter 165: Crown
Zhao Yiyan turned his head to look at Zhongli and frowned.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhongli shook his head with a smile, but he didn't tell the other party what he thought, just looked at Zhao Yiyan with a smile.
"Big brother finally came over, I'll make some delicious food for big brother? It's like I'm home alone, and I don't even have any taste for eating! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yiyan nodded hurriedly.
Who doesn't know that Zhongli's cooking is delicious? When he thought of the meals Zhongli had made now, he felt that his saliva was secreting a lot faster than before.
Eyelids Zhao Yiyan nodded and said that he would stay in Zhuangzi for a few more days, and Zhongli couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After all, people are social creatures, and now there are no children around him, and his heart is empty.
I cooked four dishes and one soup in the kitchen.
It's just that Zhongli pointed to the rice bowl in the middle and looked at Zhao Yiyan with some embarrassment.
"Big brother, I've been thinking about eating it for the past few days, but I forgot that this thing is numb and spicy, and your wound hasn't healed yet, so you shouldn't be able to eat it."
It was a bowl of hairy blood, and just looking at the layer of red-hot chili oil floating on it made the mouth water.
Zhao Yiyan frowned and looked at Zhongli with a frown.
"Yes, it's okay to eat it just once, right?"
Zhongli coughed dryly, shook his head at him with a firm gaze, stretched out his little finger and shook it twice in front of Zhao Yiyan.
"No, no, no! Big brother, this can't work. Big brother also knows that you suffered such a serious injury this time for me, so I naturally can't ignore it. But here there is winter melon pork rib soup, and pork trotters in sauce, I promise you, it will be delicious. ”
She took the chopsticks and put a chopsticks sauce pig's trotters into Zhao Yiyan's bowl, and said with a smile.
"Eat more of this, it contains lots and lots of collagen, it's good."
Zhao Yiyan glanced at her suspiciously, then looked down at the greasy thing in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, but after hesitating for a moment, he still picked it up and ate it.
Zhongli's family likes to connect with each other at the dinner table, and they don't care about anything to eat and sleep, and over time, Zhao Yiyan, who is with them, has also developed such a habit.
"It's not good for you to be here alone, otherwise you will bring them back? If you think it's dangerous, I'll let someone pick it up? ”
Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but shake his head hurriedly.
"No, no! Not really! ”
Because she was too anxious to refuse, the food in her mouth choked directly to her throat, and she began to cough dryly quickly.
If you go and bring people back now, won't it be a mess?
Zhao Yiyan looked at her, reached out and patted her back quickly, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"If you don't need it, you don't need it, why are you in such a hurry?"
The man's heavy snort sprayed out, making Zhongli's brain dizzy for a while, and she pushed the person away with a stiff expression, tugging at the corners of her lips in embarrassment, and shaking her head.
"Well, nothing. It's just that the eldest brother just wrote to say that the sister-in-law is pregnant, so recently those children have been waiting for the birth of the little nephew over there, and probably won't come back. And in terms of academics, it is said that he has invited a local Confucian to teach, and there will be no problem. ”
Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked at Zhongli's abnormality.
Facing Zhao Yiyan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Zhongli couldn't help but turn his head away and quickly changed the topic.
"My brother also mentioned in the letter that I want to take care of my sister-in-law, saying that because I have to take care of my sister-in-law, I may not be able to come back, so let the eldest brother help you take care of it."
And the crown?
Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but change his expression, and his dark eyes looked at Zhongli fixedly.
After the crown, the next step is to get married, right?
I don't know whose girl will have this good luck and be able to marry Zhongli!
Thinking of the scene where Zhongli would wear a bright red wedding dress and lead the woman on the other side of the red silk to worship heaven and earth in the future, his heart was suddenly sour, and he forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, Zhao Yiyan pulled the corners of his lips, but that smile was more ugly than crying.
"Yes! In the blink of an eye, we've all known each other for so long. ”
Zhongli couldn't help but turn his head, just in time to meet Zhao Yiyan's dark and bright eyes, his heart jumped fiercely, he smiled stiffly, and nodded lightly.
"Yes! But I'm also glad that there is a big brother around me who loves me and spoils me! ”
She accented the word "big brother", as if to remind him again.
Zhao Yiyan suddenly felt as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, and he shook his head at Zhongli expressionlessly, his voice a little muffled.
"No, it's my luck to meet you."
Zhongli was helpless, and the atmosphere of the whole scene began to stiffen.
It's just that soon, someone came to get Zhongli out of this embarrassing situation, and she immediately jumped up and walked out in a hurry.
"Who?"
The person who came was Mr. Wei, who had left for the capital before, and there were a few Confucian Confucians of the Apocalypse who came with him, if he went to invite someone with Zhongli's identity, he would naturally not be able to invite him.
Zhongli hurriedly asked them to arrange the courtyard and arrange the meal, and then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Now, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.
However, Zhongli secretly found the steward of the outer courtyard and asked them to find the best carver, and then asked them to find huge stones, preferably the kind that could be placed in front of the mountain gate.
He remembered that there were these things outside the academies on TV before, so he wanted to draw a scoop with a gourd.
But Zhao Yiyan felt that he was a pure waste of time like this, and he had never seen any academy in the Apocalypse that still had such a thing.
Zhongli shook his head with a smile, just like in his previous life, which of those key famous schools did not have its own slogan? This is a warning to the students in their school, and it is also their spiritual heritage.
"Big brother, just look at it! When the time comes, I will definitely give you a big surprise. ”
Even if the emperor wants to erase this credit, he can at least give them a little soup to drink, right?
Zhao Yiyan looked at Zhong Li's smiling eyebrows, and he looked very happy, although he still felt so in his heart, but he didn't speak again.
Zhongli thought about it for a while, but he didn't expect any good inspirational slogans, so he thought of a group of Confucians who lived in his house and chanted poems every day, and decided to go over to find someone.
It's just that I didn't expect to find someone next to the vegetable patch after looking for a long time.
One by one, the previous long shirt was gone, but they stood in the field in short shirts and breeches, frowning and helpless.
Zhongli walked over and saw what they were doing, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
"That, Mr. Wei, what are you doing here?"
When he saw Zhongli coming, Mr. Wei's old face turned red, and he quickly beckoned Zhongli to come over, pointing to the mess under his feet.
"Xiaoli, you explain to me, what is this thing? Isn't it grass? I said it was grass, and he said I pulled it wrong! ”
It turned out that a few old people were impatient to live here, and after listening to Zhongli's previous poems such as hoeing and noon, they felt that they should also place their affection on the mountains and rivers in the fields, and maybe there would be new inspiration here.
It's just that I didn't expect that after arriving here, several people began to disagree.
One person thinks that the green thing here must be grass, while the other thinks that there is so much grass here, something must be wrong, it must be some kind of dish.
Zhongli couldn't help but smile bitterly, reached out to touch his nose, and shook his head at Old Mr. Wei with some embarrassment.
"That, Mr. Wei, I'm really sorry, they're not weeds, they're leeks."
Leek?
Old Mr. Wei frowned and looked at the thing in front of him, glared at Zhong Li angrily and angrily, and snorted coldly.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier? Besides, this thing looks so similar to grass, how can I tell the difference? ”
Zhongli smiled with her eyebrows, and for the first time she felt that these sour people seemed to be good, and she nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I should make a sign in this vegetable patch, so that the old gentlemen can see it clearly. ”
Zhongli gave the steps, and of course Mr. Wei got off the donkey, his old face turned red and snorted coldly, but his momentum weakened.
"Hmph, it's long overdue. Although I helped you pull these up, it is a reminder to you, in case someone accidentally pulls out the wrong one? But since this thing is eaten, I won't waste it if I pull them out, so let's just eat them at night, right? ”
Zhongli smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and pointed at the root of the leek, looked at him and shook his head helplessly.
"Leeks are different from other dishes, we come here and cut them when we eat them, just like this. Then leave their rhizomes, and they will grow back later. ”
Wei Lao's face turned red again, but the people who were watching them chatting next to him couldn't help laughing.
"Lao Wei, don't struggle, apologize to Zhong Gongzi, otherwise we will lose money!"
The others immediately followed suit.
Zhongli watched Wei Lao's face turn the color of pig liver, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
"No, no, it's just right, I don't think these rhizomes are growing well, so if you throw them away, just let them replant them tomorrow." I'm here to talk to you today because I have something to talk about. ”
When everyone heard this, they glanced at each other, followed Zhongli back to Zhuangzi, and waited until everyone had changed their clothes before gathering at Mr. Wei's place.
"Everyone also knows that my previous idea was to set up a academy, but according to the emperor's wishes, this academy is in charge of the emperor. But there is something we have to do, and that is the appointment of the next gentleman. What kind of courses do you want to offer, and who can be responsible for how many courses? Our academy regards whether it is acceptable to everyone, or whether it is selective and selective, and everyone needs to give a charter. ”
Several people glanced at each other and couldn't help frowning, do you still need them to do this?
Zhongli also smiled bitterly, he was a little worried about the construction of the academy, not only did he have to watch it himself, but the drawings were not yet ready.
