The plate in front of me is tender red and oily, is ambergris stewed parrot tongue, the boss also put a set of silver hooks and silver knives next to the wine, I picked up a parrot tongue, with a silver knife to cut open the tongue meat, hook out the cartilage inside.

Because it was the first dish, I still gave it to Huang Tianba: "Huang Ye, please use it." ”

Huang Tianba looked at me and didn't speak for a while, but the boss on the side smiled: "This girl is an expert." ”

"Huh?"

When he saw me looking at him puzzled, he smiled and said: "How many dignitaries and nobles come here to order this stewed parrot tongue, they are all sandwiched and eaten, in fact, I don't know that the real essence of this parrot tongue is the cartilage inside, soaked by the taste of ambergris, fragrant and crispy, wonderful." ”

He looked at me and said with a smile, "The girl really understands." ”

At this time, my face was a little scornful, and Huang Tianba said lightly: "Okay, go down." ”

Seeing this, the boss bowed to us and hurriedly turned around and went downstairs.

The two of us were left to sit there, but for some reason, in front of a table of sumptuous wine and food, this moment was a little embarrassing, and after a long silence, he spoke: "It's nothing, right?" ”

He had asked this question just now, but of course I knew it meant differently, so I shook my head: "It's nothing." What about pharmacies? Is there anyone who will trouble you again? ”

"Nope."

"Where's Miss Muhua?"

"It's okay, it's just-" He took a sip of pear blossom white, his smile was full of bitterness, I didn't ask more, with his identity and relationship with Mu Hua, plus what happened in the pharmacy this morning, Wei Zhengbang They were only afraid that they had something to say, and whether Mu Hua believed it or not, it was another matter.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that, you can eat something." Huang Tianba said, like an ordinary host entertaining guests, and laughed again: "I guess you must have eaten when you go back." ”

This is true, but for some reason, I don't have much appetite for these delicacies now.

After chewing wax for two bites, I finally put down my chopsticks: "Master Huang, tomorrow, we will go back." ”

"Oh?"

Huang Tianba didn't seem surprised, just glanced at me, I also knew that in his position, Yangzhou City was indispensable for eyeliner, and it was impossible for the state capital to avoid it, so much movement in the state capital this afternoon, he must have already known.

After being silent for a long time, he smiled faintly: "It's okay to go back, you don't have to go to the water and the fire all day long." ”

"What about you?" I looked at him, "Are you going to—"

“……”

He was silent and didn't speak, he looked up and drank another glass of wine, and I sighed.

It seems that Mu Hua and they still won't change.

Kill corrupt officials, even whether the official is corrupt or not, as long as it is against the imperial court, they will do it.

Sometimes, love really has nothing to do with faith, even if Mu Hua loves him so much, he can even give up his heavy mission for him, but he can't accept his thoughts, so that two people love each other, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate.

After a long time, I said slowly: "Can't you reconcile with the court?" ”

"Reconciliation?" He looked at me and smiled bitterly: "How to reconcile?" ”

yes, how to reconcile?

I have also seen the officials and the people just now that this protracted confrontation between the imperial court and the southerners is a resentment accumulated in blood and lives, and it is not so easy to reconcile.

Huang Tianba let out a long sigh and said, "If you want to reconcile, it's okay, that is, let the imperial court get rid of the maladministration against the south, but that is the deep-rooted paranoia of the Tartars, how can they change it." Unless—"

"Unless what?"
