Liu Jian, the eldest princess of Yingyin, and Liu Xiu, the eldest princess of Yangzhai, are the most noble among all the guests today!

Although they had spoken first and did not need the company of everyone, Zhu Yuan still asked Wu Yong to serve them to prevent accidents.

So, Wu Yong confessed to Yuan Shao and others, and then caught up with the two princesses and personally explained their doubts to them.

Because today is the first day of the opening of Taixu Restaurant, there is no intention of opening to the public, some of the guests who come to sit in the private room on the second floor, and some go to the third floor to see the scenery, so there are not many people on the first floor.

The two princesses were dressed lightly today, and there was no one else by their side except for a little palace maid to serve them.

They didn't stop Wu Yong's arrival, after all, Wu Yong was the same age as them, and they didn't need too many scruples when they spoke.

The most important thing is that Wu Yong doesn't seem to have much awe for them, and he talks to them more casually, completely treating them as ordinary friends, which makes them feel the joy of getting along as equals for the first time.

Wu Yong first led them around the hall on the first floor, and the two princesses were more curious about all kinds of novelties.

When they saw a plate of colorful pastries on the table, they would be surprised and asked, "The food in your restaurant is quite novel!" How? ”

"Hehe...

When Wu Yong heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then explained: "So that the two princesses can know that these foods are made of rice noodles mixed with dried fruits." As he spoke, he pointed to a plate of dark red pastries and said: "For example, this jujube mud cake is made by crushing red dates and mixing rice flour..."

Hearing Wu Yong's explanation, Liu Xiu couldn't help it at first, only to see her reach out and pick up a piece of osmanthus cake, put it in her mouth and taste it carefully.

After a while, a piece of pastry fell into his stomach, and Liu Xiu couldn't help but praise: "Hmm... This osmanthus cake tastes soft and glutinous and sweet, it is so delicious! Seeing Liu Xiu's expression so exaggerated, Liu Jian on the other side couldn't help but feel a little curious, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and took a bite gently!

After chewing a few times, Liu Jian couldn't help but light up and praised: "This thing has a unique taste, and it is indeed very good!" "These pastries in Taixu Restaurant are all made by Wu Yong and the chefs of the Hou Mansion according to the methods of later generations, because there is no sugar, and the taste is naturally much worse than that of later generations.

But despite this, the red, green, green color and sweet and delicious taste still made Liu Jian and Liu Xiu can't help but move their fingers!

After all, the two princesses were people who had eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and after tasting a few pastries at random, they asked Wu Yong to take them to the place to see.

Wu Yong thought about it, and then took them to the third floor, where the view is wide, you can see the scene of the flow of people in the gold market in front, and you can see the Luoyang Palace in the back.

At this time, on the third floor, the four winds of the Zhu family were laughing with Yuan Mei and the others, originally they saw Wu Yong coming up, and they were going to come forward to say hello, but they didn't expect to see the two princesses behind him in an instant.

"I've seen two princesses!" The crowd hurried over to salute. Liu Jian smiled and said: "No need to be polite, we appeared in casual clothes today, we just don't want to attract too much attention, you just need to be busy with yourself." After speaking, the two princesses took Wu Yong to find a secluded place to talk.

After they passed by a white wall, Liu Jian asked with some curiosity, "What is this piece of blue and white wall for?" ”

"Reserved for the virtuous and learned." Wu Yong explained with a smile. Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Wu Yong and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a peculiar idea at such a young age!" Wu Yong rolled his eyes and thought to himself: You are not a few months older than me!

Liu Jian laughed for a while, then together with Liu Xiu, he looked at the endless stream of people below and pointed.

After a long time, they seemed a little tired, so they walked to the back of the restaurant, and asked Wu Yong as they walked: "I heard that most of everything in these restaurants comes from you, but to tell you the truth?" ”

"Indeed!" Wu Yong said honestly. The two princesses couldn't help but glance at Wu Yonggao again, and said with emotion: "You are a little versatile!" Wu Yonglian didn't dare to do it, and the three of them and the two little palace maids came to the back of the restaurant together, looked over the gangan, and looked at the large-scale palace in the distance.

The two princesses didn't know what to think, and stood there with heavy faces for a long time. Suddenly, Liu Jian opened his mouth and said to Wu Yong: "The first day of October is the birthday of the queen mother, no matter what means you use, you must go to congratulate her on her birthday." ”

"This ......" Wu Yong thought for a while, and then replied: "The minister obeys the order!" Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction, then cleaned up his mood, and asked Wu Yong with interest: "I heard that your restaurant has prepared a new shadow puppet show today?" Don't know when rehearsals will start? Hearing this, Wu Yong hesitated slightly, and replied, "Well... We'll have to wait a little longer, at least until the guests arrive! ”

"Okay, you can go down and get busy, my sister and I want to be quiet here for a while!" Hearing Wu Yong's words, Liu Jian nodded, and immediately issued an expulsion order.

"The minister retires!" Wu Yong had many other guests to receive, and without thinking too much, he said goodbye and left!

After a while, Wu Yong returned to the door of the restaurant and received the guests who came one after another with Yuan Shao and others.

Yuan Shao and the others were very curious about the arrival of the two princesses, so they asked Wu Yong about the purpose of their visit.

Of course, Wu Yong couldn't say anything, so he could only explain with a smile: "The two princesses are here for the new shadow puppet repertoire!" ”

"I see!" Everyone immediately believed that many of the sisters who came with them today were also running for shadow puppetry, so they didn't think much about it.

As time passed, the invited guests also arrived at the restaurant, and seeing that there was no carriage coming, Wu Yong beckoned Yuan Shao and others to go up to the private room on the second floor.

Today, sisters have arrived in all the houses, so the third floor has become a special place for female guests. At noon, after some intense final preparations, with Wu Yong's order, the servants came out of the back kitchen, brought plates of stir-fried vegetables with tempting fragrances, and placed them on the table in front of everyone!

And Wu Yong also changed into a plain white brocade dress, appeared on the high platform, and held a special iron horn, and talked to the guests present: "Today's Taixu Restaurant officially opened, thank you brothers and sisters for your support, everyone eats and drinks well today, and returns happy!" Then, Wu Yong said very simply: "Don't talk nonsense, there are hundreds of opera singers invited below to present their performances for everyone!" As he spoke, a group of people came up and played all kinds of acrobatic tricks, some breathing fire, some swallowing knives, and some looking for a building...... The people present today are basically Wang grandchildren, and they have already been tired of watching these hundred opera performances, so it is better to eat delicious food.

Fortunately, the hundred opera performances were just appetizers, and in the midst of everyone's thousands of calls, all the curtains on the first floor were closed, and Zhao Bo finally appeared with his new shadow puppet play "Dou E's Injustice".

"Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young. You don't have to be rich and rich, peace and happiness are immortals. The old body Granny Cai is also, a native of Chuzhou, and the family of three relatives ......" With the opening of this sentence, an earth-shattering drama slowly kicked off.

Zhao Bo's rehearsal of "Dou E's Injustice" is Wu Yong's take from the later Yuan Dynasty opera artist Guan Hanqing's masterpiece "Touching the Heaven and Earth Dou E's Injustice", the plot is roughly the same, and Wu Yong has not changed it.

The reason why he chose this play is because "Dou E's Injustice" has a wide mass base and is one of the famous tragedies, which can arouse people's empathy the most.

Compared with later generations, the Han Dynasty was prevalent as a ranger, and at the same time, the style of rangers was also greatly displayed in the world, coupled with the advocacy of the Ram School

The idea of "great revanchism", and therefore at that time

The idea of "revenge" is strong, and the story of the avengers is even more talked about and widely sung! As recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Volume 84, and the Seventy-fourth Biography of the Daughters, Zhao E's father was killed by Li Shou, and Zhao E had three younger brothers, all of whom were determined to avenge him.

Zhao E's three younger brothers died of the plague one after another. Li Shou celebrated with the people of the same clan and said to everyone: \"The Zhao family is extremely strong, only the women are weak, how can they take revenge\" Zhao E secretly resented, hiding a sharp blade, lamenting day and night, ready to take revenge.

In the end, she fought hard to kill Li Shou with a knife, and then went to the Duting Honorable Commander to confess her guilt and bow to the law. Later, Liangzhou Assassin Zhou Hong, Jiuquan Taishou Liu Ban and others jointly went to the imperial court, played Zhao E's martyrdom, and carved a stone monument to show the door of his Zhao family.

Liang Kuan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, also wrote a book to recount Zhao E's deeds and write a biography for him. Chinese

"Chivalry" culture has a long history, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is such a saying: the literati call it

"Confucianism", the warrior said

"Chivalry". Confucianism values reputation, chivalry values righteousness. developed to the later "Han Feizi Five Worms" cloud: Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, and the people are both rituals, so it is chaotic.

"Historical Records: The Biography of the Ranger" cloud: "Today's ranger, although his deeds are not in justice, but his words must be believed, his deeds must be fruitful, he has promised to come true, he does not love his body, and he goes to the misfortune of the soldiers. It can be seen that the ancient knights had an honest character and treated others modestly, but they ignored the laws and regulations, indulged freely but never showed their talents, did not take credit, and were only saints.

Nowadays, whether a person's reputation is loud or not is a condition for recommending an official, and chivalrous deeds can not only help a person establish prestige, but also be recognized by the government, or be recommended as an official.

This also fueled the atmosphere of the rangers taking their own responsibilities, and even some people did some extreme things in order to become famous.

At this time, the rangers entered a conscious stage, in them, the spirit of chivalry was more comprehensive, but due to the change of the social environment, the image and connotation of the ranger also changed, and some of the rangers exercised the mission from the previous political planning to fight and kill for the master, in recent years, some of the rangers even converted to the strong, with the chivalrous reputation established by the hoe to help the weak to do things contrary to the spirit of chivalry.

In fact, the story of "Dou E's Injustice" originates from "The Filial Woman of the East China Sea" in "The Legend of the Daughters". Stories based on facts are more empathetic.

Therefore, when everyone heard Uncle Zhao sing: There is the sun and the moon hanging in the morning and twilight, and there are ghosts and gods who hold the right of life and death. Heaven and earth are also only able to distinguish the turbidity, but how can they be confused and steal Yan Yuan.

Those who do good suffer from poverty and have a shorter life, but those who do evil enjoy prosperity and live longer. Heaven and earth are also afraid of being hard and bullying the soft, but it turns out that they are also pushing the boat so smoothly.

The land also, you don't distinguish between good and bad; God, you are wrong to be foolish! Hey, only two tears rippled.

Hearing this, many people felt a wave of anger in their hearts, and they couldn't help but roar angrily: "Dog official, don't die well!" ”

"Such a faint official, not killing is not enough to vent the hatred in my heart!" There were so many angry voices that the surrounding passers-by gathered at the door of the Taixu Restaurant and asked what was going on.

And Wu Yong, as the initiator, saw the scene of the crowd's indignation, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: Today's ranger style still exists, and the backbone of my Han people is still there!
