Chapter 34: The Banquet (3)

Everyone else went to play, but as the initiator of the party, Jiang Xuehui was not so freewheeling, although she was also playing, but she was playing with the most noble person in this party, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, and the thing she played was chess.

Walking the next word, Jiang Xuehui said in modern Mandarin: "General? ”

Li Li's expression didn't change, she just asked, "What did Sister Jiang say?" ”

"I said General." Jiang Xuehui replied in the language of the Tang Dynasty that from playing chess to the present, there have been more than ten such attempts, but each time the temptation was in vain, Li Lizhi did not react at all, and Jiang Xuehui began to wonder if she was too careful.

"No, she must also be a traverser, that sentence is definitely not something that the princess Changle in history can say, maybe she was a man before the crossing, but her acting skills are too good and she didn't find out, it must be like this......"

kept hypnotizing herself in her heart, making Jiang Xuehui more and more convinced of the fact that Li Lizhi is also a traverser, this kind of thing is a mistake and will not be let go.

"Sister Jiang is worthy of being the inventor of chess, and my little sister is really ashamed of herself, she has already lost eight games!" Li Lizhi smiled and admitted defeat.

"Her Royal Highness the princess has also won five games against me, which is already very powerful, and the eldest princess and the fourth princess don't dare to play chess with me now." Jiang Xuehui picked up the quilt and took a sip of Coke, and said with a smile.

"I am bored in the palace on weekdays, once I saw my sisters playing chess, I pestered and learned, and then I played chess all day long, and there was no opponent in the palace.

"My sisters often say that Sister Jiang is a strange woman in the world, and today I finally saw it." As she spoke, Princess Changle looked up at the lantern on her head, and then looked down at the milk tea in the cup: "Whether it is this lantern as bright as day or this mellow and delicious milk tea, it is rare in the world." ”

"Hehe, the princess praised it, if the princess likes this milk tea, just take some back when you leave." Jiang Xuehui said indifferently, these things are for her, she can let Wang Zhi send dozens of boxes at any time if she wants.

"Thank you sister." Princess Changle was also quite polite and immediately thanked her.

"It's okay......"

When Jiang Xuehui was tempting Princess Changle, Yan Xuemei came over and asked Jiang Xuehui: "Sister, I don't know when the dinner will start, and my sisters are hungry." ”

The guest urged the host's house to start the meal earlier, this kind of thing was originally very rude, but now many people are so hungry that they can't do it, and they are all little girls, so they don't attach so much importance to this kind of etiquette, so they entrusted Yan Xuemei, who has the best relationship with Jiang Xuehui, to come and ask.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuehui remembered that it was indeed not early, and she had been testing Li Li's quality before, and she had forgotten the time, so she said: "Since the sisters are hungry, let's have a banquet and invite the sisters to move." ”

When it was time to eat, a group of young girls put down the entertainment in their hands, followed the guidance of the maids of the Jiang family, and successively passed through a opened left wing room to the banquet scene in the courtyard on the left, and then sat down in turn according to the difference in identity.

After Jiang Xuehui, the master and the five noble royal princesses, also sat down side by side on the main seat, the banquet officially began, and immediately a group of maids walked in row after row, each carrying a tray, on which was a hot pot that was emitting wisps of cooking smoke, and everyone had never seen a hot pot, and after the maids brought the hot pot to the small case in front of them, they looked at this strange thing curiously, and then turned their eyes to Jiang Xuehui: "Sister, what is this?" ”

Jiang Xuehui smiled slightly, and introduced to the women: "I have heard that the ancients were Zhong Ming Ding food, and intended to follow suit, but the ancient Ding is difficult to find, so I imitated this Ding furnace, with a built-in charcoal fire and an external hot soup. ”

"I see...... all the women looked suddenly enlightened, and then praised one after another: "Sister is really elegant!" ”

"Sister Jiang, why are other people's Dingzhong red soup, but mine is white soup?" Princess Changle asked.

"The soup base is made of deer bones, with a spicy base is red soup, and with a light base is white soup, I have heard that Her Royal Highness the princess suffers from qi disease and can't eat spicy and stimulating things, so I prepared white soup." Jiang Xuehui first explained to Princess Changle, and then said to the ladies in the banquet: "If the sisters can't eat spicy, they will order the maids on the side to replace the soup base with white soup." ”

Hearing this, a group of girls immediately expressed their attitudes: How can anyone eat it without spicy?

At this time, it is mainly spicy with mustard, dogwood, and ginger that is not strong enough, so basically no one can eat spicy.

At this time, another maid came up with seasonings, which were many small plates, containing sesame oil, refined salt, soybean sauce, sesame seeds, green onion and ginger, chopped coriander, pepper, cumin, chili noodles, five-spice powder and tofu, as many as more than ten kinds of seasonings made the girls sigh and gain knowledge.

Most of them knew the women, but they were a little dumbfounded by pepper, cumin, chili noodles and allspice, but no one asked, because if they asked, they seemed to be lonely and unheard, and they couldn't even recognize the spices they ate, so it didn't seem that their families were so poor that they couldn't afford to use spices.

Although no one asked, Jiang Xuehui kindly reminded her: "The red one is chili noodles, which are spicy, so sisters should pay attention when they eat them." ”

Soon, plates of meat and vegetables were also served, and the women were amazed when they saw the plates of vegetables and mushrooms that they had never seen before.

"This kind of food is eaten at will, and the sisters will eat whatever they like, so they will tell the maids, and they will help you get it."

As soon as Jiang Xuehui finished speaking, a leisurely song of mountains and rivers sounded, and for a while, all the women were immersed in this music, and after the song was finished, someone asked: "Sister Jiang, who is playing music?" ”

"Naturally, it's the people who play the music who play the music." After a perfunctory sentence, Jiang Xuehui poured a plate of mutton slices into the hot pot and said to everyone: "Sisters, don't be restrained, just have fun." ”

Seeing Jiang Xuehui's movements, she immediately learned from her to pour a plate of meat slices into the pot, and anxiously put everything else into it, until the hot pot could not fit it.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuehui was laughed at and reminded: "Put less ingredients at a time, otherwise it will be cooked slowly." ”

After speaking, the mutton in the pot was almost cooked, and she immediately stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece, put it in the saucer and dip it, and then put it in her mouth.

When others saw Jiang Xuehui like this, they also picked up the meat slices in a decent way and dipped them in the saucer before eating, and then there were two phenomena, those who couldn't eat spicy or had too much chili pepper were so spicy that they couldn't stand drinking water, and the rest were frantically scooping meat from the pot.

Seeing Jiang Xuehui looking at her, Princess Changle smiled elegantly, put down her chopsticks and said: "Sister, the taste of this Ding furnace is really extraordinary, and this black one, it should be pepper, it can grind pepper into such a delicate powder, my sister really has a lot of knowledge today." ”

Seeing that Li Lizhi still didn't show any horses, Jiang Xuehui was a little excited and said, "Since my sister likes it, bring a few bags when you leave." ”

"Thank you, sister, my little sister also wants to let my father and queen mother taste today's taste." Princess Changle is still a filial person, and she doesn't forget her parents when she eats good things.

"Since it's for the saint to enjoy, let's take more!" After speaking, he immediately instructed the little maid behind him, Yingxue: "When the princesses leave, add two more packets of each spice to the gift......

The purpose of this banquet is to sell spices, so each guest will be given a packet of pepper, chili flakes, cumin and five-spice powder when they leave, and each pack is not much, but only one or two.

Because the hot pot is too delicious for them, everyone ate a lot of things at the beginning, and they all ate it quickly, according to the rules at this time, at this time, some entertainment activities should be started, so that everyone can play, and continue to eat when the stomach is empty when they are tired.

So someone proposed: "On the occasion of this beautiful day, it is better for everyone to write a poem to wish the fun." ”

Writing a poem, in fact, is a rhyme, which is still very simple for readers at this time, and it is not difficult to improvise a poem, but the quality cannot be guaranteed. But for these underage girls, it is a little difficult to improvise poems, so someone immediately retorted: "It's not a gathering of scholars, what kind of poetry do you make!" ”

"But after a feast, how can there not be a poem or two?" Some people retorted that at this time, people used to write a few poems or write a text afterwards to commemorate the gathering, which was also related to the social environment at the peak of the literary style at this time, and no matter what they did, they had to be involved in literature and art.

At this time, someone proposed: "We are shallow in knowledge and can't write poems, but Sister Jiang is quick and rich, a poem should be fine, please Sister Jiang write a poem, let those men see, our women's gatherings can also make poems." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the women echoed them one after another, and said together like a hundred officials forcing the emperor to the palace: "Please Sister Jiang write a poem." ”

Seeing this situation, Jiang Xuehui could only smile bitterly, she now really wants to copy a few poems to pretend to be forced, but she really admires those literary copyists who have such a good memory, as a former literary girl, in addition to quatrains such as Jing Ye Si and Min Nong, she only remembers the essence of the slightly longer poems, and if you say the last sentence in the other parts, she can also immediately remember the next sentence, but it is impossible to memorize one in its entirety.

So Jiang Xuehui could only excuse herself again and again, and then said very forcefully: "Poetry is a small way, but it is just a game of words, which is not beneficial to the country or the people, and I don't like it." ”

Hearing these compelling words, Princess Changle next to Jiang Xuehui immediately asked: "Since poetry is a small way, what does my sister think is a great way?" ”

Regarding this kind of question, Jiang Xuehui, who received communist education since childhood, replied without thinking about it: "Learning from things, all methods that can improve productivity are the way." ”

"What is productivity?" Princess Changle asked suspiciously, there is no word productivity yet, she doesn't understand it very well.

"Forget it, I'll make a song!" Jiang Xuehui hurriedly diverted the topic, she didn't want to answer this kind of profound question, otherwise it would be bad to be targeted by Li Er, she was not a man, and she didn't want to help Li Er develop productivity.

As a literary girl who writes novels, although Jiang Xuehui can't memorize a slightly longer Tang poem in its entirety, she still has a lot of inventory in her stomach, for example, she remembers two poems, which are Su Shi's water tune song head and Taizu's Yuyuan Spring and Snow. However, because she only remembered these two songs, she did not want to copy them casually, but planned to copy them on important occasions to maximize the fame it brings.

But since the words have been released today, I have to copy a poem, so I picked up the cup and stood up, making a look of hard thought.

She was really thinking about how to make her look more stylish, and she soon came up with a great idea.

I saw her get down from the seat, one step, two steps...... A total of six steps to the middle of the venue, first looked up at the bright moon in the sky, then raised the cup, and said softly: "When is the bright moon?" Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world. ”

After reading the first half of the rhyme, Jiang Xuehui stopped, not because she forgot the second half of the rhyme, but because the artistic conception of missing relatives to be expressed in the second half of the rhyme really did not match the scene at this time, and it was laughable and generous when it was copied, and with her literary style, the second half of the rhyme could not be changed immediately, so she simply copied the first half of the rhyme.

And the women who were obsessed with the fairy-like artistic conception expressed in Jiang Xuehui's poem didn't hear the second half of the rhyme for a long time, and asked one after another: "Sister Jiang, what about the second half of the rhyme?" ”

"In a hurry, I only thought of the first half of the ruffle, and the second half of the rung will be made up in the future!" Smiling awkwardly, Jiang Xuehui immediately returned to her seat, and immediately saw Li Lizhi next to her looking at her with little stars in her eyes: "Sister Jiang is really like a fairy in the world just now!" ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess has praised it."

At this time, the princess of Xiangcheng on the other side also said: "Sister Jiang is not as humble as herself, although your poem is only the first half of the poem, it is also a masterpiece that has never been done before, I don't know when I will be able to make up the upper and lower half of the rhyme, so that the little sister can see it." ”

"As soon as possible, as soon as possible!" Jiang Xuehui snorted, in fact, she didn't know when she would be able to make up for the upper and lower halves, is Su Shi's masterpiece so easy to make up?

Originally, there were a few girls who wanted to show off their talents, but with Jiang Xuehui Zhuyu in front, they didn't dare to come out to show their ugliness, so the literary and artistic activities ended after Jiang Xuehui finished a poem, and then everyone continued to eat, and after eating, they dispersed.

Originally, I should continue to play for a while after eating, but because I had no energy to continue playing, I ended up directly, and the guests took the spices given by Jiang Xuehui and went home satisfied, accompanied by the guards and servants, today's party will definitely become a topic of conversation for a long time afterward.

Thank you for the six not-v tips, but it's still that sentence, you may not be able to sign a contract, and I can't receive a reward, just give a little recommendation to mean it, don't waste money.

And today's application for signing was rejected, but I was not disappointed, but I felt a little relaxed, because the application was approved, I had to print the contract, and then send the contract, which was really troublesome.

You say that I am a lump of mud that I can't hold up.
