Chapter 203: The Locust Feast
The locust feast began smoothly.
Locust Banquet.
It is filled with all kinds of fried locusts, and the aroma is fragrant.
Most of the people drooled from the temptation of this delicious delicacy and kept swallowing their saliva. But no one dared to eat it, after all, it was a worm, until the prefect Bu Yunling personally picked up one with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Seeing him eat with relish, the others picked up their chopsticks one after another as if they had just woken up from a dream, and began to enjoy the food like Bu Yunling.
Looking at the gobbling up of the people around him, Bu Yunling was extremely proud in his heart: "That's right!" ”
While eating the locusts, he observed the changes in the expressions of the people. Seeing that they had a look of surprise on their faces and slowly began to accept the delicious taste of locusts, he became more and more proud: "How is it? How does it taste? ”
Listening to Bu Yunling's question, the rest of the people all began to echo: "The prefect is really a god!" It's even possible to make such a strange taste! ”
"The prefect is wise and martial, and the small people are very impressed."
"The taste of this locust is much more delicious than meat."
……
Bu Yunling, who was slapped by many sycophants, was very comfortable, and Bu Yunling happily swallowed the locusts in his mouth.
He said to everyone: "The purpose of inviting everyone here today is to show everyone that this locust is edible and delicious.
We can launch this delicacy in major restaurants, so that everyone can taste such a delicacy. ”
Seeing that Bu Yunling began to speak, the other people also put down the chopsticks in their hands and listened carefully to Bu Yunling.
Seeing that all the eyes around him were focused on him, Bu Yunling said again: "This official plans to use this locust as the main ingredient, add other ingredients to make dishes, and provide it to the people every day, what do you think of such a method?"
When all the businessmen heard this, they immediately applauded and agreed.
"What a clever plan, my lord! In this way, it is not only convenient for us poor people, but also solves the problem of a large amount of food. ”
"Yes, the adults are far-sighted, and the people are really admired."
"The prefect is really virtuous, and he can think of such a solution."
……
For a while, the sound of praise resounded throughout the banquet hall.
Bu Yunling was very happy that his proposal had been approved by most people, but he was not complacent.
He continued: "Don't be busy praising the official, the official has prepared a lot of fun and delicious food for today's feast, and I hope everyone will have fun and eat." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Everyone thanked them in unison, and then ran to the table like wild horses on the loose, and couldn't wait to start eating.
Seeing this scene, Bu Yunling smiled even more happily, a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes, and then turned to leave.
Gu Yunzhu looked at Bu Yunling's appearance, and sighed in her heart, the old lady had fallen in love with him back then, hoping that she could marry Bu Yunling.
It's a pity that at that time, there was only Liu Ming in Gu Yunzhu's eyes.
Now that I think about it, no matter who she married back then, it was better than marrying Liu Ming.
Today's Gu Yunzhu can only recall the past.
I was able to come to this banquet this time.
Gu Yunzhu repeatedly assured Feng Yuanfang that he would not embarrass her, nor would he make a big fuss, and he would definitely eat with everyone when he saw the locusts.
even ate a fried locust in front of Feng Yuanfang.
Feng Yuanfang then agreed to Gu Yunzhu and took her to participate in the locust banquet.
Feng Yuanfang also knew that Gu Yunzhu had been saying that she was mean to Gu Yunzhu all the time.
Bringing Gu Yunzhu forward also helped to improve her reputation, which was already almost non-existent.
Although she doesn't care about fame, fame is still somewhat useful.
Feng Changpo also came along.
The locust feast is all the celebrities of Cloud City.
Outside, the hungry people did not have enough to eat, and I don't know how many died of starvation.
And here, drunken gold fans.
Even the garden is filled with ice cubes to cool off the heat.
Although it is a locust feast.
But that doesn't mean there is nothing to eat except locusts.
Bu Yunling is very meticulous and considerate, because he wants to promote locusts, which are not only eaten by men, but also by women, so he also invited many ladies of the family.
For the female dependents, he asked Wu Xingmeng to arrange it.
The area of the ladies is very elegantly furnished.
It is separate from the male guests.
The woman who did not leave the cabinet, Bu Yunling was not invited.
However, the female relatives are free to go to the men's side to play, but the men can only stay on the men's side, and cannot come to the women's side.
But Gu Yunzhu didn't take the initiative to go over, she just looked at everything around her in the corner.
She now knew very well that she had a bad reputation and that these men would play with her, but would not marry her.
Gu Yunzhu came here to dress up carefully, in order to reverse the public's impression of her.
If she doesn't come out to meet people, everyone will still misunderstand that she is a crazy woman.
This time, Gu Yunzhu was taught a lot of things by the old lady.
Gu Yunzhu couldn't hear it before, but now Gu Yunzhu is like a treasure.
Gu Yunzhu can only hope that time will pass quickly.
She felt so stupid.
If you are deceived by Liu Ming, forget it.
was actually deceived by Li Zetian.
No, maybe Li Zetian really loved her, but these feelings were not enough to resist the attraction of power.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhu finally understood the importance of power at this moment.
However, when Gu Yunzhu looked at the side of the male guest, he soon saw a familiar figure.
Gu Yunzhu was stunned the moment she saw Han Zhi.
Obviously, time doesn't pass very quickly.
She and Hanzhi don't seem to have seen each other for more than a year.
But Hanzhi has developed the nobility of being in a high position, although he is wearing a simple brocade robe, and there is no embroidery on it.
He also wears a simple hosta on his head.
But it looks a little more luxurious than wearing a golden hairpin.
With just one glance, Gu Yunzhu had already determined that she was very different from Han Zhi.
Hanzhi is even more imposing than her from a real aristocratic background at the moment.
Gu Yunzhu looked at her shabby clothes, this was Gu Yunzhu's previous clothes, she had always been very precious, and she was reluctant to wear them.
But this style is already a bit outdated.
As for the jewelry on her head, she sold all her jewelry in order to see Li Zetian before, and these were borrowed from the old lady, which was the old lady's former dowry.
These styles are old.
Gu Yunzhu stood in the corner, no one cared.
Feng Changpo can still greet and play with his classmates in the academy.
But she doesn't have a single girlfriend around her.
The women here were also reluctant to deal with Gu Yunzhu.
Gu Yunzhu originally wanted to talk to these people, but as soon as these people saw her, it was like seeing a plague, and they immediately walked away.
There's still a lot of talking.
"She is Gu Yunzhu who made trouble at the Li Mansion's wedding banquet!"
"Yes! It's shameless, no wonder her husband is going to divorce her! ”
"It's ·····"
··········
These people thought they were talking in a whisper.
But this voice was just enough for Gu Yunzhu to hear.
Gu Yunzhu was very annoyed when he heard this.
She wanted to lose her temper.
But she knew that if she lost her temper again, Feng Yuanfang would definitely not take care of her again in the future.
The old lady will definitely give up on her.
If he left the Feng Mansion, in this world, Gu Yunzhu was worried that he might really starve to death.
And the magnolia outside the house is still eyeing it.
That Magnolia hit her last time.
She originally had a good relationship with Feng Changpo, and wanted Feng Changpo to take someone out to teach Yulan a lesson.
It's a pity that Magnolia moved away again.
The yard magnolia was not bought at all, and it was not even rented.
Feng Changpo asked people to inquire.
Liu Ming is now married to Zhou Hu, another daughter of Zhou Zhi County, and is now working for Zhou Zhi County in Zhou County.
Zhou Hu is not a good stubble, she is the eldest daughter of Zhou County, compared to the delicate Zhou Ling'er, the appearance of the two can be described as one in the sky and one on the ground.
Zhou Huren is as his name suggests, he looks like a tiger with a bear's waist, is very tall, and his arms are more powerful than a man's.
But she also likes handsome scholars.
The farmer farms the land every day, facing the loess with his back to the sky, and he is not well fed and clothed, so it is difficult to be handsome.
Rich children, they don't want to marry Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu is a big problem in Zhou County, she would rather not marry for the rest of her life than compromise, and those rich children are not willing to settle, even if the dowry promised by Zhou County is useless.
Zhou Hu dragged on until he was thirty years old.
Fortunately, I finally met the person I liked this year, Liu Ming.
Liu Ming looks good, otherwise, Gu Yunzhu would not like Liu Ming so much.
Liu Ming is another outsider and has no background.
Zhou Xianling used a little means, and Liu Ming himself had the heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, so he soon married Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu is a jealous person, and Yulan is a betrayer, so she can't tolerate such a person.
So he gave Magnolia two paths.
One is to leave Zhou County with the silver.
The second is to marry a merchant in his sixties in Zhou County as a lady.
Magnolia chose one and walked away with the silver.
When she returned to Cloud City, she actually wanted to take refuge in Gu Yunzhu.
She knew that Gu Yunzhu might beat her severely, but Gu Yunzhu lived in Feng Mansion, and the Feng family army was now stationed in Yuncheng, this relationship was extraordinary, and with the Feng family as a guarantee, she had more options to marry. Anyway, the Gu family is not pleased, and when Gu Yunzhu tortures her, she will be even more pitiful.
And Yulan knows Gu Yunzhu's character very well, Gu Yunzhu knows her miserable situation, and in order to ridicule her, she will definitely keep her.
It's just that Yulan didn't expect that Gu Yunzhu was actually kicked out of the Fengfu.
Since Gu Yunzhu has lost her momentum, she naturally can't blame her for falling into the well.
She was originally the big maid of the Hou Mansion, and there was a little maid by her side to serve her.
On weekdays, you don't have to do those dirty and rough jobs at all.
But since following Gu Yunzhu to marry Liu Ming.
She does all the dirty work.
In the entire Liu Mansion, there is only one maid like her, and she is tortured to the point where her life is worse than death.
Gu Yunzhu also deducted her monthly money and didn't give her a penny.
The most important thing is that Gu Yunzhu actually wants her not to marry for the rest of her life, and to stay by Gu Yunzhu's side for the rest of her life.
When Yulan heard this, her whole body was about to explode.
The hatred for Gu Yunzhu in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he finally hooked up with Liu Ming.
Although Liu Ming's character is not good, he is good-looking.
Yulan felt that it was not bad to follow him for the rest of his life, even if he was a concubine.
It's just that she never thought that Liu Ming could abandon Gu Yunzhu and be able to abandon her.
However, the moment Yulan saw Gu Yunzhu, she was still a little proud in her heart.
No matter how she is, she is better than Gu Yunzhu who went to Li Zetian's wedding to make a fuss.
It's okay to be deceived by a man, it's still so naïve.
At least when she was with Liu Ming, she was not cheated by Liu Ming for a penny.
She never told Liu Ming that she had already got her deed of sale back.
In Liu Ming's mind, she is a maid, a subordinate, and the subordinate is the property of the master's family, how can the property have property!
So Liu Ming never knew that Yulan was rich.
However, the world is difficult.
Even though Yulan has regained her free body, because she has become a slave, even if she gets back the deed of sale, she is still a cheap person, unless she pays a large sum of money to redeem her hometown.
And the silver money in Yulan's hand is simply not enough.
And the Zhou family is not a good person at all.
Zhou Hu sent someone to rob her of her money, and planned to sell her to Goolan Courtyard.
If it weren't for her luck and being saved by Zhou Ling'er, she wouldn't know the truth of all this, and she wouldn't even know how she died.
Only then did Yulan understand that the people in this small place were much more vicious than the people in the capital.
"Mrs. Li, you dare to take this kind of back-the-master maid with you, I really admire you."
Gu Yunzhu still didn't hold back after all, came to Zhou Ling'er's side, and said to Zhou Ling'er in a weird way.
However, when Gu Yunzhu spoke, he kept his demeanor and smiled.
Gu Yunzhu really couldn't stand Yulan's arrogant eyes, she was just a maid, what was there to be angry.
No matter how she is, she is still a person at the same level as Zhou Ling'er.
"Miss Gu, this is my private matter, so I don't have to worry about you, I have confidence in my husband."
When Zhou Linger said the three words of confidence, she especially accentuated her tone.
Zhou Ling'er looked at Gu Yunzhu with some disdain.
It's impossible to sow discord so simply, and to let her be fooled.
Zhou Ling'er even felt ashamed that she had once regarded Gu Yunzhu as a competitor.
How could Li Zetian fall in love with such a woman.
Maybe it's just the usual smile, which makes this kind of woman misunderstand!
For Yulan, Yulan used to be the eldest maid of the Hou Mansion after all, with an extraordinary bearing and literacy.
In a place like Cloud City, there are really few such big girls.
And she is the daughter of her aunt, and she is a concubine.
There is no such maid around.
Yulan's bearing around her body is extraordinary, and she also has a grudge against her sister-in-law, she is happier with such a person.
What's more, Yulan knows a lot of things, and she has seen more objects than the daughter of an ordinary rich and noble lady, after all, she was once born in the Hou Mansion.
And Yulan's requirements are not high now, Yulan's wish now is to marry the guards beside Li Zetian and be a good lady.
This is also good for Zhou Ling'er, it can help Zhou Ling'er to encircle the people around Li Zetian, and the subordinates of the two families are together, this is the real integration.
