Chapter 54: Eating

Living room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two men have already opened their seats.

Nowadays, it is still popular to divide the meal system, and there are three dishes, one soup and a big bowl of rice in front of each table.

Fresh boiled cucumbers, eggplant, fried shredded chicken, and the soup is seaweed egg soup.

The rice is not simple, it is the Jiangnan incense of Tegon, this rice has a strong aroma and is only grown in a few specific counties.

It's not easy to make such a dish, after all, it's just a home-cooked meal.

Some families pay attention to food and keep quiet when eating, but fortunately, the Wangjiahe and Zhou families do not have such old-fashioned etiquette.

It's just that you don't talk when you have food in your mouth, you are quiet when you drink soup, and you handle the dishes and chopsticks gently・・・・・・・・・・ in fact, there are a lot of rules, but it's relatively much easier.

However, Zhou Gui didn't want to talk too much, but only occasionally spoke, chatted about a few words about current affairs, and talked about some overseas experiences, both of them had business dealings overseas, and there were still a lot of topics in this regard.

Chatting and chatting, Wang Shouye inadvertently opened up the conflict between the two families on several important salt roads, and tried a few words.

"So, the Wang family intends to acquire Yanlu? But as far as I know, I'm afraid your family is not in a good situation, right? Still have a lot of room to spare? ”

Zhou Gui had already finished his share and wiped his mouth with a wet towel.

Wang Shouye just ate a few bites hastily, but in fact, his mind was not on this dish at all, although this dish was indeed well cooked.

Seeing that Zhou Gui did not refuse, Wang Shouye suddenly came to his senses.

"My predecessor is right, my family is really not stable now."

As he spoke, he frowned, tangled, and sighed.

"It's not a secret, my father died very suddenly, and the younger generation took over the family business for less than a year, and the hearts of the family fluctuated・・・・・・"

"Little nephew・・・・・・ little nephew was also instigated by a traitor before, a thought, this is the ・・・・・・・・ this is the ghost of the mind, fortunately Uncle Zhou has a large number, regardless of the fault of the younger nephew."

"Thank you, little nephew."

As he spoke, he was about to bow down, where was Zhou Gui willing to accept his worship, and stepped forward to help him.

"Ahh

"It's just a small thing, where is it worth such a big gift."

Wang Shouye got up.

The face is enough, and the two of them have revealed the matter.

Sitting in the same place, Zhou Gui was still about to speak, when he saw someone quietly walking in, holding a few plates of desserts and mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and placing them in front of the two people's cases.

Then, he said a few words in Zhou Gui's ear, and he nodded again and again.

The servant removed the previous dishes, chopsticks and plates, put them in the food box, bowed, and then withdrew.

Zhou Gui beckoned Wang Shouye to eat dessert:

"This is a tomato from the South Seas, which is both a vegetable and a fruit, cut into slices and put on sugar, which quenches and quenches thirst."

Tomatoes, not native to Great Xia, are one of the new things brought back with the fleet in the overseas South Seas, and now they can only be seen in a few coastal provinces, which is rare.

Wang Shouye had only heard of it before, and it was the first time he saw it at this time, so he used bamboo chopsticks to clip a piece and put it in his mouth.

Sure enough, it was sweet, cold and cold, and there was no summer fire.

With a great appetite, Wang Shouye ate a few more bites in succession, and found that the tomato was cold and cold.

He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"Is this chilled?"

Zhou Gui laughed.

"Ice is too expensive, so my family is willing to use it here. It's just hanging with a rope, down into the well water, icing overnight, and going to the fire. ”

"Not only this tomato, but also the watermelon can be left overnight and then opened the next day to ensure that it is extra refreshing."

Wang Shouye suddenly realized.

Indeed, in general, each family brought its own ice cubes, and each family sent their own people to dig it in the river and store it in the cellar.

If you don't have enough ice in stock, you need to buy ice cubes.

There is demand, there is a market, there are profit-seeking businessmen to do business.

In the summer, when it was hot, the ice cube rose to 120 yuan.

It's not a luxury home, or it's really urgent, and you won't buy ice cubes when you're free.

However, in previous years, the Wang family was not in charge of him, and he never paid attention to this matter, and all he wanted to use was ice.

"When I go back, I can cut this expense and save a lot of money."

Wang Shouye made up his mind in his heart and wanted to go back and check the accounts.

"The child was just swimming in the garden, playful for a while, tired, and resting for a while."

"It's okay, next time Brother Zhou can come to my Wang family, it's the same."

So saying, he got up and took his leave.

Zhou Gui sent him to the door and saw his convoy slowly leave.

I don't know when, Zhou Xun appeared at the door and looked into the distance with him.

The young man, as usual, could not see that Fang Cai had suffered a great loss of vitality and suffered an unwarranted disaster.

"This guy is a little weird."

With Zhou Xun's Taoism at this time, observing a mortal, without the need to calculate the hexagram, with a little induction, you can know his past experience from the underworld, and on this basis, with a little calculation, you can easily know his future approximately, almost a hundred times.

However, this person gave Zhou Xun a wonderful feeling, like a mess, and there were conflicts in the past and future.

"What's that weird method?"

Zhou Xun lowered his head and asked.

"This person is either a living soul who has been relived for a lifetime, or he has seen the opportunity of heaven and broken free from his original destiny."

In Zixiao Immortal Domain, there are too many such people, for various reasons, they have learned about the future, or they have been relived for a lifetime and got rid of their original destiny.

"What does it mean to regain one?"

It was the first time Zhou Gui had heard of this kind of thing, and he asked curiously.

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

"There is always a general trajectory of living beings in the world, and since they are born, they have been involved in various causes and conditions, and they have followed this trajectory all the way. This kind of life that can be speculated is what we call it fate. ”

"Ordinary people, entangled in the red dust, burdened by all kinds of mundane things, can't grasp their own lives. The fate of this kind of ordinary man is roughly determined, and there is a slight error in the calculation. ”

"In the practice, people are very different, the light of nature occurs, the nature is common, and the number of lives can no longer bind them, and as the Tao is profound, the binding of the number of lives will be smaller. Therefore, the number of people's lives in cultivation is changeable, and most of them are inaccurate in calculation. ”

Zhou Xun said quietly.

"However, some people, who occasionally get the foundation of creation, have their own fate, know the original destiny, and spy on the corner of the future, they will naturally deviate from the original trajectory and embark on another path."

"It's hard to say whether it's good or bad. It's just that jumping from one known trajectory to another trajectory can't be detached, and it's still a dead end after all. ”

Zhou Gui is still a little worried, after all, the other party may be the person who "regained his life"!

Zhou Xun saw his worries and smiled at him.

"Father doesn't have to care too much about these, just with his son's current scattered immortal Dao, it is not easy for the idle immortal family to calculate, let alone a mortal?"

"Even if Wang Shouye really spies on the operation of the heavens, it won't involve too much of my family."

Zhou Gui seemed to have some plans, but Zhou Xun didn't want to worry about it, just thought of something and asked casually.

"I remember the last time my father promised to inquire about the news, I don't know if there is anything about the snowfall?"

Zhou Gui thought for a moment.

"I've heard a lot of rumors these days, but there are really a few families who lost their daughters, but they were abducted by Paihuazi, which is not quite consistent with what you said."

"But it was seen in the official newspaper that the prince sent his soldiers to the capital, forced his brother to death, plotted to usurp the throne, was defeated and died, and King Ji supervised the country."

"This girl may be an orphan of the old prince・・・・・・・・・ but the prince is nearly fifty years old, has three sons and two daughters, all of whom are married, and I have never heard that the prince has such a young daughter, could it be an illegitimate daughter?"

Zhou Xun had an idea, and thought of the "Ji" that Xueluo once shouted, so he asked.

"Does King Ji have a daughter?"

Zhou Gui thought carefully for a moment and shook his head.

"The crown prince's position is stable, he has been in office for more than 20 years, and everyone is staring at him all over the world, who still cares that King Ji has no daughter?"

"If you talk about the prince's affairs, don't say anything else, everyone knows about this child's affairs."

"Ke Ji Wang is young, plain and low-key, who will pay attention to this, I only know that I don't have a son yet."

Zhou Xun closed his eyes and concentrated on calculating, and with the inspiration of Fang Cai, he thought in the inner heaven and earth.

The past experiences reappeared one by one, Zhou Xun took Xueluo home, Zhou Xun participated in the exam, and Zhou Xun met Xueluo by boat・・・・・・・・・・

From the perspective of a bystander, outside the scene, watching the scene go backwards・・・・・・・・・・

Soon, a woman in the wilderness placed the girl in a basin.

"Stop-"

The situation flows back to here, and stops.

The woman began to puncture the palm of her hand, endured the pain, dipped it in blood, and wrote a bloody letter.

It's a pity that this hastily forged blood book doesn't look like the handwriting of a Qinglou woman at all.

After observing silently for a moment, he noted the woman's dress.

I wanted to continue to go back, but I felt a sense of tiredness, Zhou Xun knew that this was because he had not recovered from his injury, so he had no choice but to stop this Lingtai deduction and withdraw from this realm.

When he opened his eyes, Zhou Xun summoned water vapor and condensed it into a water mirror, revealing the picture he had deduced.

"Fang Cai had an idea, and the deduction was gained, and it was this woman."

Zhou Gui identified the woman's accessories, clothing, patterns, mannerisms, words and deeds.

"Judging by his words and deeds, it seems that he came from the court, or learned court etiquette."

"The clothes on my body are nothing special, I can only say that it is related to the clan."

As he spoke, he pointed to the picture and pointed out a few inconspicuous ornaments.

"The clans of this dynasty have such emblems, and others don't use them, and they can't use them like this."

"Just looking at this, you can't get anything, although there are not many clans in this dynasty, there are thousands of people."

However, from the picture, you can see where she is, and if you find it, there should be clues・・・・・・ I heard that Princess Ji died, and it seems to be in this area.

Zhou Xun mentioned the dynastic luck on Xueluo's body again.

"Last time, I saw that she had the luck of the dynasty, and her share was not shallow, and now it seems that most of her is the daughter of King Ji. Otherwise, it is a certain county lord, this mutiny, isn't it that several princes and princes were unfortunately killed? The father can search for one or two as evidence. As for the future・・・・・・ let's talk about it in the future. ”

"What do you mean to talk about it in the future? This kind of exiled clan is a hot potato! ”

"On the side of the Zongren Mansion, there are all records, and it is rumored that there are also life lamps to send a clear talisman, which can detect life and death and lead the souls of the dead."

"I haven't checked it now, but because of the turbulent situation, I can't take care of it for a while, but sooner or later I will find it."

"Just take care of it, but don't think about anything else, I still expect you to earn back a hereditary title for my old Zhou family!"
