Volume 2 - The Feast of Kyoto Chapter 59 The Old Eight

In the hall where Bu Yu Xiu entertained guests, Chen Jin'er sat next to Bu Fanchen, and Bu Yu Xiu was opposite, and the fifteen princes of the southern kingdom were playing the role of the main family making tea at the moment.

Because the tea ceremony has always been considered a good thing for peace of mind, and because tea tasting can often increase the practitioner's fit with the Tao, the tea craft has always been popular.

The three people here are all extremely young, and the tea that Bu Yuxiu brewed today is also suitable for young people to drink, and it is called Lian Qing.

After the charcoal was steadily heated three times, the first two thick juices were fed to the tea pet, and the third tea was the best to drink. Different from the general tea, the water is pale green, different from the kind of seeping green, he also has a sense of crystal, it looks beautiful, but the tea is not thick, so it is deeply loved by young people.

Chen Jin'er took the teacup handed over by Bu Yuxiu, put it in front of Bu Fanchen quietly, and used the second cup by herself.

After Bu Yuxiu put the teapot on the charcoal fire with a compartment, he looked at Bu Fanchen with a smile and said: "What, Fanchen is not going to tell Brother Wei the story of you and Sister Jin'er, I have been staying in the walls of this deep palace, and I yearn for the outside world."

Bu Fanchen smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "The imperial city is indeed a deep palace courtyard wall, the outside world is very exciting, and the imperial brother can really experience it when he is free." ”

Chen Jin'er waited for Bu Fanchen to finish speaking, and continued: "Fifteenth Master, don't listen to the master, our life is very hard, it's better not to experience it." ”

Bu Yuxiu smiled lightly and waited for Bu Fanchen's next step. Bu Fanchen recalled that time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, so he started with the story of coming back with his father, of course, the things that came out of the depths of the forbidden sea naturally had to be hidden.

At the beginning of the story, Bu Fanchen seemed to be reluctant to stop, gushing endlessly, although he was working hard to control the speed, but the story of that time still couldn't be told for long, after all, Chen Wa was injured, attacked the Wang family at night, and met the famous Jiajun in the Yamen can't be said.

In the eyes of him and Chen Wa, Jin'er was just a child, and she shouldn't know this, and it might be more dangerous to give in to Xiu Tai to understand the things over there.

Chen Jin'er on the side looked at Bu Fanchen and knew that the latter deliberately avoided some stories, and she didn't feel anything bad, even if she had thought about these things many times, and even as a bystander, she was more familiar with the details of this matter than Bu Fanchen.

The story was browsed quickly, Bu Fanchen paused, sighed softly, full of nostalgia, and then looked at Bu Yuxiu with a bright look and said: "Brother Fifteen, don't you know, the day before my father and I left the town, my Aunt Qiu specially made a big meal for us, and my father was also there at that time. ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Jin'er, and said one dish name after another: "There is gray-green turtledove tofu, there is the stewed meat with winter melon, the soup is moist and delicious, there is the white fried little green vegetables, there is the steamed cream crab that my eldest brother got back, there is the dried stewed beans, there is the wild bamboo shoots fried bacon, there is the pheasant stewed small mushrooms, and there is a fresh fish soup that was damaged by me and Jin'er." According to Aunt Qiu's meaning, this is the custom of the older generation, the old eight. ”

After Bu Fanchen finished speaking, Chen Jin'er pouted, and said like an adult teaching a child who committed crimes: "Brother Fanchen, you are embarrassed to say, I said at the time, tiger head fish can't make soup like crucian carp, you don't believe it, and told me that the fish in the world are of the same ancestry, and they can be cooked together, and the result is a pot of fishy smell." ”

Bu Fanchen scratched his head a little embarrassed, smiled and was silent for a while, and then said confidently: "Jin'er, didn't we finish eating that fish in the end, which shows that your brother Bu's cooking skills are acceptable, and we have to say something." ”

Chen Jin'er was in a child's mood in the place where Bu Fanchen was in a child's mood, stuck out his tongue at Bu Fanchen, and said without the slightest intention to give in: "That's because Uncle Lu is here, and he is the one who drank your tiger head fish soup." ”

Bu Fanchen knew that he couldn't fight, after all, this was the case, like a big brother, he reached out and touched Chen Jin'er's head, and said righteously: "This matter needs to be disputed, and it will be discussed later, and it will be discussed later." ”

Feeling the heat coming from the palm, Chen Jin'er smiled and said very satisfied: "The apprentice takes the order." ”

Bu Yuxiu looked at the two people in front of him, he could experience the natural emotional existence, but he couldn't empathize, he couldn't tell whether it was envy or what, and he coughed lightly and said: "You two will be an elder brother and sister for a while, a master and apprentice for a while, a young man, you can play!"

After speaking, he looked at the two of them with a playful smile. Because Bu Fanchen is two years old and is really a woman, Bu Yuxiu is too mature than Bu Fanchen in terms of emotion, so he jokes again.

Chen Jin'er seemed to be a little more mature than Bu Fanchen in this regard, she was a little embarrassed, a faint flush appeared on her cheeks, she lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and suppressed her heart ape, but did not speak.

Bu Fanchen didn't know what Bu Yuxiu was referring to, but said with a smile: "Even if it is a master and an apprentice, it is also a brother and sister, as the saying goes, if you are a threesome, you must have my master, so it is reasonable for brothers and sisters to be masters and apprentices." “

After listening to Bu Fanchen, Bu Yuxiu and Chen Jin'er looked at each other and smiled. Seeing the two of them like this, Bu Fanchen was a little confused, but for a moment, the memory in the dream made him have an epiphany, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Bu Yuxiu, which was a little embarrassing.

However, he was so thick-skinned, and after a while, he said with a radiant look: "Brother Fifteen, you don't know, that turtledove tofu is really a delicacy in the world, but there is no such dish in Kyoto." ”

Bu Yuxiu said with some yearning and shock: "Oh! Is it a mixed dish of bird turtle dove and tofu, if so, then Kyoto really doesn't have it, after all, there is no market for turtle dove in Kyoto, but if Fan Chen likes it, he can send the people below to get a little back, and it won't be troublesome." ”

This time it was Chen Jin'er and Bu Fanchen's turn to look at each other and smile, seeing the movements of the two, Bu Yuxiu knew that he had guessed very wrong, and it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed, but as a prince, he pretended not to know and continued to pretend to be stupid.

Seeing this, Chen Jin'er immediately straightened up his expression and patiently explained: "Fifteenth master, turtledove tofu has nothing to do with that kind of bird, it is just a specialty of a small place, and it is made of a shrub leaf shaped like a peach, called turtledove leaf.

This is a local custom, because of the famine, people have no food, and accidentally found that the turtledove leaf juice can be congealed like fat to eat, so there is this dish, not to mention the southern country, even most of the Ming and Er countries do not know this, so it is normal for the fifteenth master not to understand. “

Bu Yuxiu nodded lightly, expressing his approval, and then said: "Sister Jin'er, I have this leaf in the southern country, looking at the greedy appearance of mortal dust, I also want to taste this superb tofu." ”

Before Chen Jin'er could speak, Bu Fanchen preemptively said: "Fifteenth Master, Jin'er just came to the south of the country, and was picked up by your servants in the house, how did she know that there would be a turtledove tree there?"

Bu Yuxiu naturally knew that Bu Fanchen was waiting for him to give a reasonable reason, but it was not beautiful for him to open his mouth on this matter, so he simply chose to keep silent.

Chen Jin'er is very childlike in front of Bu Fanchen, but as mentioned earlier, she is a natural emperor, if she is an emperor, how can she not detect Bu Fanchen's anger.

Bu Yuxiu's secret quickly flashed in her mind, and then it was her agreement with Bu Yuxiu, thinking of this, she had a choice. took Bu Fanchen's hand and said weakly: "Master, Uncle Jiang and I were attacked at the border, and after Uncle Jiang sent me to a safe location, it was the fifteenth master who sent someone to escort me, and the fifteenth master asked me to go to the palace first, but I should have come first to say thank you, so I came here first, and I planned to say thank you, and then I rushed to the palace after saying goodbye, and you came." ”

When Bu Fanchen came to Bu Xiu's mansion to find himself, Chen Jin'er guessed that Jiang Yunchang should have arrived in Kyoto in the south safely, and when Jiang Yunchang was on the way, Jiang Yunchang had mentioned to himself that he and Bu Youkong were friends, so Bu Fanchen should have been told by the latter when he came to find himself so quickly, otherwise Bu Fanchen would never know the news by Bu Yuxiu's means.

And it is not difficult to guess that the purpose of Bu Yu Xiu's master to accept his return to Beijing is nothing more than to spread the news that he is on his way to Beijing after he arrives in Beijing, and use himself as a bait to be the shore angler, as for why Bu Yuxiu gave up this plan, Chen Jin'er didn't expect it, after all, since Bu Yuxiu let himself send a message to all of them, it means that he has other plans.

Bu Fanchen was originally a little unhappy in his heart, the enemy is the enemy, then the friend should be the friend, if someone wants to calculate his friend, then he will naturally be unhappy, even if the other party is a temporary ally.

However, after Chen Jin'er explained, he was almost calm, since Jin'er himself said so, even if he knew that Bu Yu Xiu had another purpose, but he had to admit this situation, seeing that Bu Yu Xiu's teacup was empty, he hurriedly got up and poured a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, let's drink tea." ”

Bu Yu Xiurao looked at Bu Fanchen interestingly, took the teacup with a smile, and said slowly: "Fanchen, you have been in Kyoto for so long, you haven't heard of opera, I will invite you to listen to the opera with Sister Jin'er after a while, how about it"

Chen Jin'er was on the side, snorted, couldn't help laughing, Bu Fanchen glanced at Jin'er, he didn't take advantage of it, and replied: "Brother Xiu has an appointment, Fanchen naturally wants to go, but I don't know what kind of opera it is, Fanchen is afraid that he won't be able to understand it when the time comes, and he will embarrass Brother Xiu." ”

Bu Yuxiu's face was kind, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry about Fanchen, the type of opera won't be too difficult, you can tell me." ”

Bu Fanchen asked curiously: "What kind of opera is that?" ”

Bu Yuxiu and Chen Jin'er glanced at each other, Chen Jin'er tilted her head to the side, held back a smile, and then Bu Yuxiu said unhurriedly: "Liuchuan's characteristic face changed." ”

Bu Fanchen understood that the other party was making fun of himself, and he couldn't help laughing, and he was unreasonable, so he had to endure it silently.

Bu Yuxiu was very satisfied with Chen Jin'er's answer, originally he had three ways to answer Bu Fanchen's question.

First, it is mainly a potential safety hazard, for fear that the leakage of Jin'er's news will attract the attention of other forces, after all, there are no longer a few assassination cases in the capital recently, so it makes sense, but Bu Fanchen will definitely be angry, after all, he is not an idiot.

The second is to confess to Bu Fanchen, directly state his purpose, and let Bu Fanchen believe that he will not really be unfavorable to Chen Jin'er, but only use it as bait to fish for deep fish, and show enough sincerity afterwards, so that there will not be much gap between the two sides, but the future break may be very far.

The first option is the next strategy, for Bu Fanchen, the second plan is obviously much better, but the best solution is Chen Jin'er's initiative just now. So that there is no gap between the two, and they can exchange gifts and friendships to get closer together, so Bu Yuxiu is very satisfied with Chen Jin'er.

The three of them fell silent, and Bu Yuxiu broke the deadlock first and asked, "What do you think about Mo Xiangsheng?" ”

Bu Fanchen glanced at Bu Yuxiu, then at Chen Jin'er, and saw the latter's firm and eager eyes, and hesitated.

Seeing this, Bu Yu Xiu spoke again: "I know your concerns, but Jin'er is one of the future proxy candidates of Junrong, and if you want to compete, it is inevitable to understand this turmoil. “

After Bu Yuxiu finished speaking, Chen Jin'er continued: "Brother Fanchen, Jin'er is no longer a nine-year-old child, there are many things that need to be fought for, Jin'er is not afraid." ”

Bu Fanchen knew that Chen Jin'er would have a lot of difficulties, but as an elder brother, his sister was really a younger sister, and in his heart he still didn't want Jin'er to know these things and participate in it. But just like the difference that Bu Youkong taught him, the flowers in the greenhouse can't see the big world, everyone should have their own way to go, Bu Youkong respects him, then he will also respect Chen Jin'er.

After figuring it out, he immediately spoke: "Presumably the rest of the brothers have helped me solve things recently." “

Bu Yuxiu nodded, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother's side is not the one who has contributed the most, but the third brother's side has the most activities." ”

Bu Fanchen smiled and said, "Well, as expected, the fifteenth brother might as well talk about what those brothers said." ”

Chen Jin'er listened silently, and the more information she got, the more confident she was to help Bu Fanchen.

Bu Yuxiu said slowly: "The eldest prince's side, what I propose is to deal with you in the way Bu Jinyun handles, but considering that Mo Xiangsheng is just an inconspicuous little family, and if he dies, he will die, but you kill people in broad daylight, and you must show something, so it is recommended that you travel out of Beijing for ten years."

The third brother goes to the Zongren Mansion almost every day, he means that killing is killing people, and you must lose money, after all, you are the prince, and suggested that this matter should be managed by the Criminal Department, after all, Mo Xiangsheng is not a royal person, and he should not be secretly tried in the Zongren Mansion. “

Bu Fanchen glanced at Bu Yuxiu, and said calmly: "So, Bu Jinglong is not involved in this matter?" Bu Yuxiu nodded slightly, he was also a little surprised, it should not be reasonable, but Bu Jinglong seems to be reluctant to participate in Bu Fanchen's affairs, but judging from the information he has grasped so far, this is the case.

Bu Fanchen didn't speak, he was waiting for Bu Yu Xiu to say, there can be a conspiracy between friends, just get it on the table, and those calculations in private are not in line with his original intention of making friends.

Bu Yuxiu knew what Bu Fanchen meant, smiled, and said calmly: "Bu Yanghui and I agree that we both want you to have a complete relationship with the eldest prince, and we also intend to push you to the forefront." ”

Bu Fanchen smiled at this time, as if it was not himself who was treated as a chess piece.

Bu Yu Xiu saw Bu Fanchen's statement, knowing that he had guessed the other party's appetite correctly, and said again: "But I am different from Bu Yanghui, I admit that I have doubts about using it, but I will not let you have an accident." ”

Bu Fanchen raised the teacup, glanced at Chen Jin'er and Bu Yuxiu, and then said: "Being in this deep palace courtyard wall, pure simplicity is stupidity, I understand it, so I just hope that my friends will be calm even if they use it, so that after the exchange of courtesies, feelings will collide, not hatred." ”

Chen Jin'er looked at Bu Fanchen with some concern, and silently raised the teacup. Bu Yuxiu smiled heartily and said loudly: "For the future, more friendship, cheers." ”

Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai and is willing to fight and suffer is like this, some things are completely different from passivity and initiative, not knowing is deception, and knowing is paying. If everything is clear and you don't want to be the one who suffers, you can only be a lonely person in the end.

After the three of them drank tea, Bu Yuxiu asked again: "Your sister didn't come with you, could it be that she didn't come with you?"

Bu Fanchen smiled lightly, nodded and said: "On the way to the palace, she will deal with things, since everyone wants me to see the attitude of my prince's mansion, then I will behave seriously." If I'm not mistaken, Bu Yanghui wants to form an alliance with you."

Bu Yuxiu nodded, she actually knows more about the attitude of Prince Jin's Mansion than Bu Fanchen, and that Xuan Senjun army is the best proof, but Bu Fanchen said this, he must have his own plan, for Bu Fanchen, since she has chosen, she will choose to trust.

On the way to Xiufu, Bu Fanchen discussed with Mu Ji about Mo Xiangsheng, and after the final discussion, the two decided to be ruthless.

Everyone only knows that there is a top combat power in the palace, and there is a lack of monarch-level powerhouses as the real combat power of competition, so let everyone take a look at the martial power of Prince Jin's mansion, after all, the town and mountain at home have been howling for a long time, and they always give way to Fanchen to take him out and step on it casually.

Not only that, Zhenshan seems to have a very good relationship with Haohu, the handsome bodyguard of Uncle Dar, as if he can also be brought in as a thug.

Because since he brought him some good wine, he led his daughter-in-law Hua Linger to thank him, but the content of the thank you is not very clear, about what success, the other party is not very clear, and he is not careful, after all, helping others, you can't remember too much.

But Haohu and Sister Hua Linger knew at a glance that they were excellent people, as cute as Zhenshan, and they would not help themselves.

In the end, at Chen Jin'er's request, Bu Fanchen shared with him what happened in Beijing, including the desperate battle between Yuxiang and Wu Guyuan.

But he didn't say anything about Zhifenglou that day, because he hadn't investigated it clearly, it wasn't that he didn't want to deal with Zhang Yunhang that day, but he sensed that a breath machine locked him, if he insisted on solving the person that Mu Ji hated, then it would inevitably cause chaos in the situation, and secretly that person would take the opportunity to let him die violently, at least he would exchange his life for injury, and the injury was the injury of the Great Dao.

Obviously, the other party didn't know about Zhenshan, and of course Bu Fanchen didn't want to expose Zhenshan's existence too early. And afterwards, there will be comments about his addiction to killing, so that even if he doesn't die, the Zhang family in Zhongling County will not be slaughtered afterwards.

That is to say, the transaction between the Zhang family and the eldest prince is in the same vein, including Zhang Yunhang's life.
