Chapter 101: The Prince's Apprenticeship (4k Subscription Request)
"I'll pay for his table, no matter what he orders, you just have to take it."
A heroic woman with a sword in her hand strode to Lin Shou's table.
The woman calmly sat opposite Lin Shou's table, put the saber in her hand on the table, and then took out a silver ingot.
The guy in the lobby saw that there were four or five taels of silver, his eyes straightened, he swallowed his saliva and was much more humble, and asked respectfully: "Look at what you said, how can we think that the Taoist can't afford to pay, it's really that there are too many signature dishes in our family, I'm afraid that the Taoist can't finish it alone." ”
The guy was talking amicably on the side, and Lin Shou also knew who was coming, wasn't this Song Yuwei who was back in the capital?
Lin Shou didn't pay attention to Song Yuwei, but said to the guy: "Then what are your specialties?" ”
When the guy heard this, his chest immediately straightened, and he said with a smile: "Our Wudinglou's sauce elbow, radish old hen, carp baked noodles...... Everything can be called a must, our dishes are large, and it is enough for the two of you to order two dishes! ”
Lin Shou is actually quite concerned about what he eats in his mouth, but it would be good if there was food to eat in that place in Huashui County.
Even if Lin Shou went out to eat some good food on weekdays, he would only eat some water miscellaneous and stewed in a pot, otherwise he would not have packed many delicacies in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and put them in his sleeve.
However, under the various natural and man-made disasters in Daqian this year, this capital can still provide so many kinds of food, which makes Lin Shou amazing.
"In the year of the catastrophe, these dishes are not good, right?" The expression on Lin Shou's face seemed to be smiling, and his lips moved slightly to ask such a sentence.
The guy rolled his eyes, threw the handkerchief in his hand to wipe the table on his shoulder, and said as a matter of course: "No matter how hard the world is, it is impossible to suffer the people of our capital!" ”
With a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth, Lin Shou looked at Song Yuwei on the other side of the table.
Sure enough, Song Yuwei couldn't help but put her hand on her saber at this time, trembling constantly.
Lin Shou didn't seem to care and shook his hand at the guy, and said, "You said it all over again, anyway, we also have a woman to treat, don't we?" ”
The guy seemed to see the performance beckoning to him, grinned and nodded, and the rag was thrown to the back kitchen again to report the name of the dish.
Lin Shou pushed the teacup in front of him, and Ah Liang consciously picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Lin Shou.
"I didn't expect it to be fateful, I can meet a Song woman in such a big place as the capital, and I don't know if it's because the road is narrow or what?" Lin Shou teased in his mouth.
Song Yuwei was not in a good mood, she still remembered what Lin Shou said.
"It's really fateful, but what are you doing in the capital?" Song Yuwei couldn't help but ask.
Lin Shou smiled lightly and said, "Why do the locals of the capital allow the capital to come?" Can't such a foreigner come to Poor Dao? ”
Song Yuwei said directly: "You know that I didn't mean that, after all, you are still a suspect!" ”
Lin Shou shook his head slightly, took the tea on the table and drank it down, and said, "Then bother the woman to find evidence, instead of talking to me here?" ”
The guy was carrying three large plates, two small plates, and a wooden bucket of white rice on a large wooden pallet.
"Dao Chief, your dish is here, this is sauce elbow ~ this is roast chicken ~ this is roast duck ...... This is a carp baked noodles, oh, this fish is really big today, but the small one I personally selected for you is a big carp in Dongsheng Province! It will take some time for the old radish to stew the old hen, and please wait a little longer! ”
The man walked to the table and shouted, skillfully putting a plate of dishes on the table, and when he announced the name of the dish, it was so loud that everyone in the whole hall could hear it.
Of course, this is also to arouse other people's gluttony, you think, the person next to you eats so well, why don't we also order two meat dishes?
The guy's serving interrupted what Song Yuwei wanted to say, but Song Yuwei just opened her mouth before she could speak.
But Lin Shou had already picked up the chopsticks at this time, sandwiched it on the plate of carp baked noodles that was a specialty of Dongsheng Province, and looked at Song Yuwei opposite with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Or does Song Nuxia want to taste the unique characteristics of the capital, but Dongsheng Province, which is the place of origin, does not have it...... Carp baked noodles? ”
The mockery in Lin Shou's tone was almost directly displayed.
Song Yu has a strong temperament, how can he be insulted like this, in fact, he is more annoyed and angry, and he wants to pull it out as soon as he grabs the sword on the table.
Halfway out of the sheath, the sword flickered with cold light, frightening the surrounding guests.
The shopkeeper didn't know why the two people who were fine just now, and even the woman who was going to treat them, actually pulled out her sword at this moment, looking like she was going to do it.
But the store manager on the side took two steps back, but the threat in his eyes was understood, and he could only take two steps forward at this moment, and said with trembling hands: "Two, two, don't hurt the harmony, don't do it, don't do it!" ”
Lin Shou didn't care, but comforted the shopkeeper and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's have a fun, you let everyone eat and drink......"
At this time, Lin Shou saw the meal that someone had dropped because of fright, and then said with a smile: "If there is any loss, you can find this Song woman, I believe she will compensate." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Song Yuwei's fierce look and the appearance of holding a sword in his hand, how dare he go to him for any compensation, so he could only think that he was unlucky.
"Then you two are having fun, don't make any trouble, our Wuding Building also has a backstage!" The shopkeeper said.
Lin Shou waved his hand noncommittally, asked the shopkeeper to retreat, and then took the chopsticks to eat on the sauce elbow, carp baked noodles and so on on the table.
Song Yuwei, who was ridiculed by Lin Shou, was not in the mood to eat at the moment, and looked around and found that the diners around her were still looking at her with some fear, and she was even more depressed in her heart, and she retracted her sword back into the scabbard.
Song Yuwei snorted coldly, glared at Lin Shou and said, "The evidence, I'll find it soon, just so that I don't have to go to Dongsheng Province to arrest you after I find the evidence!" ”
Lin Shou made a gesture of please, threw half of the fish head to the orange next to him, and said, "Song Nuxia, please do it." ”
"If you don't mind, why don't you sit down and finish this meal with Poor Dao?" Lin Shou smiled on his face, without the slightest panicked expression.
This made her intimidation goal not achieve Song Yuwei was quite discouraged, and after glancing at Lin Shou fiercely, she didn't care about what to eat, and turned around and left directly.
Lin Shou smiled and shook his head, looked at the half-pound silver on the table, and said to Ah Liang on the side: "Poor Dao said that it is right to choose this store, and there are still people to treat." ”
Ah Liang naturally did not hesitate to praise and worship, and said to Lin Shou: "Master Gaojian! ”
……
……
The time came quickly, and it was the end of the year.
At this time, it had already rained in the capital, and the goose feathers and heavy snow had dyed the entire capital with a layer of silver.
There are also a lot fewer pedestrians on the street, after all, not every household has winter clothes for the winter, and being able to huddle in the house for warmth is already the best result.
Truckloads of charcoal were transported from Xishan Province to the capital, and the wheels ran over and mixed with snow, leaving black muddy marks on the ground.
The dignitaries and nobles of the capital burned charcoal, and white smoke rose from the mansion, adding a bit of popularity to the cold and quiet capital out of thin air.
The smoke coming out of the homes of ordinary people is gray-black, and they burn firewood cut in the woods dozens of miles away on the outskirts of the capital.
Or if you pick up something out of nowhere and throw it into the fire to keep warm, it will also burn smoke of this color.
Gray-black and white smoke rose from the sky above Zhong Yunyi's mansion, and the charcoal from Xishan Province was burned in front of the door, but the firewood in the courtyard behind was the firewood that Zhong Yunyi deliberately bought from the people at a high price.
Today, there was a long queue in front of Zhong Yunyi's mansion as always, more people lined up than when Lin Shou first came to his mansion, they all brought all kinds of congratulatory gifts, but these gifts were not for Zhong Yunyi.
After that visit, the whole dynasty knew that this Zhong Yushi's temper was really stubborn, and it took him more than half a month to read all the folds of the Yushi Terrace.
Those backlog cases have been handled by Zhong Yunyi in a proper way, and I don't know how many big and small officials have been eaten.
And those who give gifts know that Zhong Yunyi will not forgive the crimes they have committed because of their gifts, and there will be fewer people who give gifts later.
But there are always people who don't believe in evil, and they wait in front of Zhong Yunyi's mansion every day with this gift, thinking that their sincerity can move this imperial history.
But he didn't expect that the first to be moved were those officials who confessed to people's crimes, and it wasn't until the moment he was arrested that he realized that Zhong Yunyi was not a character who could hold sand in his eyes.
As for why there is a long queue in this mansion today, and officials of all sizes wear luxurious clothes without losing etiquette, this is because a major event will happen in this imperial mansion today.
The second prince actually wants to worship Zhong Yunyi as a teacher!
Today, the apprenticeship ceremony is held in this mansion.
What's more, today's emperor will drag his sick body to watch this apprenticeship ceremony!
You must know that the current emperor has a strange habit, that is, he hardly meets his sons, and it is said that he heard the proverb that the two dragons should not meet each other in his early years, so it is quite taboo.
Since he started cultivating, the eldest prince has not seen his father for more than ten years, and the second prince has not seen his father since he was born.
But I never thought that today, for the apprenticeship ceremony of the second prince, the emperor would break his taboo.
Zhong Yunyi's two own servants were overwhelmed, recording the gifts given by those big and small officials one by one, and then leading them to the appropriate places.
Even Zhang Baigui temporarily played the role of a doorman, clumsily greeting the guests who came.
After all, there are only three of them, and there will definitely be chaos in the busyness, but for the sake of Zhong Yunyi and the second prince's face, these officials are not easy to say.
Soon the mansion was crowded with officials from all walks of life, but Zhong Yunyi burned too little carbon, and the temperature in the mansion was a little low, so these officials were in a pile and whispered something.
Zhong Yunyi sat on the main seat of the mansion without saying a word, no matter who came to talk to him, he only nodded slightly in response.
At that moment, the servant at the door shouted.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrived!"
The second prince was wearing a Confucian robe and a solemn decoration, and he looked about the same age as Zhang Baigui, but his eyebrows and eyes were a little more noble than Zhang Baigui.
Zhong Yunyi finally stood up and stepped forward to greet the second prince.
The surrounding officials saluted the two princes, although the two princes theoretically had no chance of inheriting the throne.
But the emperor has not established the crown prince until this time, and let the imperial history of the current dynasty be the teacher of the second prince, which is not a signal.
The second prince is also a clever person, and he didn't put on any show, but took the lead in bowing to Zhong Yunyi very respectfully, and said at the same time: "Teacher!" ”
Zhong Yunyi didn't have any arrogance when he saw this prince, and he couldn't help but nod, and stepped forward to help him up.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has not yet apprenticed, so he deserves to be this teacher!"
The second prince smiled slightly, and his voice was still a little immature, but he put on an official tone and said: "One day as a teacher, a lifelong teacher, since my father asked me to worship Mr. Zhong as a teacher, then Mr. Zhong will always be my teacher, and it is not impossible to call him at this time." ”
Zhong Yunyi stroked his beard, this prince was much smarter than he imagined, although he spoke and acted with a bit of adult craftsmanship, but he couldn't hide the fact that he was a jade.
At this time, the servant at the door shouted again: "The eldest prince and Song Xiang have arrived!" ”
Now those officials are even more active, and they can even be regarded as scrambling to greet them at the door.
Although the imperial history is regarded as the three princes of the dynasty, the head of the three princes is still the prime minister after all, not to mention that the prime minister and the eldest prince are so close.
And the eldest prince is the one who is most likely to inherit the throne in legal theory.
Zhong Yunyi patted the second prince on the shoulder at this time, looked at the door, and then walked over to greet him.
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince, Song Xiang!" Zhong Yunyi's attitude towards them was not too enthusiastic, and he only arched his hand slightly.
The eldest prince and Song Xiang also smiled and bowed in return.
"Congratulations to Zhong Yushi for being able to accept such a smart disciple as my second brother!"
"Congratulations!" Song Xiang's face was not very good, and he said with some regrets.
After all, he is recognized as the Great Prince faction, and now it is not good news that the emperor suddenly asked Zhong Yunyi, who is also the third prince, to accept the second prince as a disciple.
Just when the eldest prince wanted to say a few words to Zhong Yunyi to show his affection, a somewhat lazy voice came from the door.
"Yo, Mr. Zhong, your house is so lively today, it won't spoil the scenery when you come over the poor road, right?"
The eldest prince turned around in silence with some annoyance, to see who was so bold and didn't know the times and dared to interrupt his speech.
I saw a handsome young man wearing a shabby Taoist robe standing at the gate of Zhong Yunyi's mansion with an evil smile on his face.
I'll try to add more tomorrow
