Chapter 9 Masquerade - Father-in-law
☆☆☆
The old man rushed into the hospital first, and Yuwen Zhi Shao arrived on his hind feet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Qinggong has never won the senior brother!"
"Tsk, senior brother can beat you in this one, you can be content!"
"Master said that it was because the senior brother always chose to practice martial arts according to his own preferences, and he was more out of the way. If you really want to practice, which one can stump you?"
As soon as he arrived at the door, the old man smelled a strong but unfamiliar aroma of food, and more importantly, he smelled the aroma of wine, the best wine.
Chris happened to come out of the cooking room with a plate of dishes, and when he saw the two of them, his face was happy: "Ten seniors, fairy benefactors, you came back just in time, and you will start eating immediately." ”
The old man frowned lightly, and said in his heart that she was a villain, but she was like the owner of the house, and she became a guest herself.
Yuwenzhi Shao really didn't understand why she always called herself a fairy, and added the word benefactor.
"Wait, the main course hasn't been served yet. After saying that, the little man went into the cooking room again.
Yuwen Zhishao felt that his clothes were slightly untidy, he turned around and glanced at the pharmacy, and asked, "Senior brother, my old clothes are still in the old place, right?"
The old man nodded.
"I'll change my clothes and come back!"
The old man was taken aback as soon as he entered the room. He had expected that the villain would come back to him, but he didn't expect her to spend the time to make a table of food by herself.
Looking at the food on the table with great interest, the smell was fragrant, and the old man couldn't help but sit down slowly.
Chris sat down next to him and said, "What about the others?"
The old man pouted and said, "He'll go change his clothes and come later." ”
Chris said in his heart that he had a meal and changed his clothes, so he was very particular.
Chris took out the wine she brought, she knew that the old man was a heavy drinker, and thought to herself that this was the highlight of the day.
When you unplug the wine, the aroma of the wine is overflowing.
The old man swallowed, and his Adam's apple rolled. He immediately snatched the bottle, took a few sips, and said with great joy: "Good wine, really good wine." ”
"The old man likes it, I will often bring wine to see you in the future. ”
The old man didn't answer, but changed the topic and asked, "Don't you ask him to eat with him?"
You really can't underestimate the old man, he knows everything. Chris thought that Xiong Daiying had been busy with him for most of the day, how could he let him watch these delicacies from the sidelines, so he shouted, "Daiying, you can also eat together." ”
In fact, since Chris arrived in the other courtyard, in addition to demonstrating to the cook, she occasionally cooks herself. Xiong Daiying and Lianying ran to the dining room on the first day to taste it secretly, and then distributed it to all the shadow guards inside and outside, and everyone was still satisfied. Who would have thought that the Queen Mother would be able to cook, and in this life, she would be able to eat the food cooked by the Queen Mother herself, and it would be so delicious. It can be said that everyone in the other courtyard, from the servants and maids to the shadow guards, is addicted to it, and looks forward to the dinner at night every day.
A black-clad Xiong Dai Ying appeared and sat opposite the old man. To tell the truth, in front of him are the worldly masters of the Xuanzhen School, few people in the world can see their true faces, Xiong Daiying also has a curiosity in his heart at the moment, his black veil is half hidden, and his slender eyes are staring at the old man.
The old man smiled without saying a word, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he showed a funny expression.
Chris teased: "Dai Ying, don't look at your predecessors like this, he likes men, you stare at him, what can he do if he burns himself." ”
With a snort, the old man hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and almost squirted out a mouthful of good wine.
In astonishment, Xiong Daiying quickly tilted his gaze.
At this time, Yuwen Zhishao opened the curtain and walked into the house, he changed into the old linen green clothes from before, and his hair was tied casually with a cloth bag, which was relaxed and comfortable, and this dress made him more green and immature.
Xiong Daiying looked at Yuwen Zhishao again, when will he be able to ask Mr. Zhizhi for two tricks, thinking so, his eyes are even hotter.
Chris saw Xiong Dai staring at Yuwen Zhishao with bright eyes, and hurriedly said, "Don't look at your benefactor like that." ”
The old man was curious, turned his head and asked, "Why?"
Chris was stunned, and said to himself: You can't say that I am only allowed to stare like this.
Xiong Daiying lowered his head and said, "There is still something left in the cooking room, I'd better go over there to eat" After saying that, he flashed out of the door in a flash.
Chris was a little embarrassed and said, "Dai Ying, I didn't mean that......"
After Yuwen Zhishao sat down, she introduced the dishes one by one: pan-fried sea bass, Spanish seafood risotto, and grilled mixed vegetables, all of which they had never seen before.
Chris personally distributed a plate of food to the old man and handed it over.
The old man ate a bite of food, tasted a sip of wine, and looked complacent.
Yuwenzhi Shao has Xianbei blood, and he is not reluctant to eat with a knife and fork, he cut a knife, found that the fish meat was smooth and tender, and then sent it to the mouth, which melted in the mouth, only felt that the mouth was fragrant, every time he chewed it, there was a different taste, and he tasted each dish carefully.
"By the way, what are you putting in your meal?" the old man closed his eyes and tasted it.
"Seafood risotto?" Chris smiles, "and the most important spice here is saffron." ”
"Saffron?" he discerned the taste in his mouth again, and called out "Ahhh
"Old man, have you tasted it?"
The old man smacked his lips and muttered: "The precious medicinal materials of the Western Regions Heavenly Kingdom you use to cook, you can really be regarded as the first person in ancient and modern times, even the name of the dish is strange, but this taste is really good." ”
Chris thought to herself: Although there are many varieties of food in the Song Dynasty, the taste is generally single, sweet in the north and salty in the south, and the ingredients and methods used are also the same, and they do not have the unpredictable taste of Chinese food in her impression.
The old man ate the last bite of fried fish, wiped his mouth, and asked with great interest: "Such a good meal and good dishes, and poured me a pass of ecstasy soup, what do you want to do?"
Chris really felt that dealing with smart people was a lot easier, she straightened up and said: "Since the seniors have made it clear, I also don't say secret words, I want to worship the seniors as teachers." ”
Hearing this, Yuwen Zhishao raised his head in surprise and looked at Lan Yuanxiao, wanting to confirm what she really meant by this.
The old man suddenly laughed, pinched his beard, and his heart was filled with great interest, but on the surface, he did not show it at all, and said in a flat tone: "It's not that there are no people around you who can teach you, I am an ordinary and vulgar old man, but I don't have much ability." ”
Chris secretly scolded himself: You are the senior brother of the fairy benefactor, is your martial arts function poor?
The old man nodded and said: "It is said that the master of the Cave Spirit Sect in the Great Inner is the great eunuch Zhang Ruoshui, and you learned the secret technique of the Little Cave Heaven from him, right?"
Chris was not ambiguous and replied, "He did teach me martial arts, but he didn't take me as an apprentice." ”
"Zhang Ruoshui and I are considered to be in the same door. Taoism does not have a gateway view, and the Dongling School and the Xuanzhen School only have different methods of practice. Besides, in terms of seniority, I am his uncle, even if I teach you martial arts, he can't say anything. ”
Chris was happy in his heart: Then I worship the old man as a teacher, won't I be on an equal footing with Ruo in the future.
Yuwen Zhishao muttered in his heart, he can learn martial arts with a palace eunuch like Zhang Ruoshui, and the other party still doesn't dare to accept apprentices because of his identity, isn't the identity of the queen mother confirmed.
The old man said slowly: "It's a pity, I swore that I would never accept apprentices for the rest of my life...... Junior brother can testify to this!"
Chris glanced at Yuwen Zhishao, and seemed to get a confirmed answer, she muttered dissatisfiedly, this is not in vain.
Seeing that the villain was deflated, even if he was not in the ancient well, he was distracted and distressed, and asked softly: "Then are you willing to recognize me as your father-in-law?"
How could Chris have the determination of an old man, and his joy was already evident on his face.
Yuwen Zhishao was even more taken aback when he heard his senior brother say this, he stared at his senior brother intently, and just wanted to say something......
The old man grinned and said, "Your personality is quite good for my appetite, and you will be accepted as a righteous son today." ”
Chris's heart moved, and the old man actually said "righteous son" instead of "righteous daughter".
"Why don't you want to?" the old man deliberately raised his voice.
Chris then "pounced" and fell to his knees, and said loudly: "Dad is on top, be worshiped by the child." ”
"Daddy?"
"That's what my hometown calls my father, and it's kind. ”
The old man laughed and said, "This quirky little baby can really amuse me." ”
Don't wait for Yuwen Zhishao on the side to make any reaction, two people, you worship, I accept it, and the ceremony will be.
Yuwen Zhishao only felt a faint pain on the side of his head, he didn't say a word, the two of them took care of themselves and became a righteous father and son, not to mention that his senior brother who is not stingy does things absurdly, but on the other side, which one are they singing?
Sitting back on the stool, Chris smiled like a wolf and said, "Then Daddy won't give me a greeting gift?"
The old man raised his eyebrows: "Greeting gift?"
Chris Thief smiled and held out his hand: "I want a face." ”
"Sure enough, it's a fool's idea," said the old man, "it's not a difficult thing, for my father promised you." ”
Chris rubbed his nose embarrassedly, thinking to himself: It would be better if there was another escape kung fu that could get rid of Xiong Daiying.
Chris and Yuwen Shao looked at each other, not to mention Yuwen Shao's thoughts at the moment, Chris shouted in his heart: recognizing the old man as his father-in-law, wouldn't he be demoted by one level, he has become my elder, and he has lost a loss. However, she suddenly remembered something, and took out an object from the side pocket of her shirt at the moment, which was the piece written by Yuwen Zhi Shao. She held it with both hands and said, "I don't think I can return it, so it's better to return it to its original owner." ”
Yuwen Zhishao took it, there was still a warm body temperature and a woman's unique aroma on it, he didn't open it, handed it back again, and said, "This book is useless!"
Chris took the fold for some reason, she read the content of it carefully countless times, and she almost memorized it, she said sincerely: "This is all good policies for governing the country, changing the degree, changing the horse government, revitalizing farming, repairing water conservancy, attacking the barbarians with barbarians, and combining forces to fight, why is it useless?"
Yuwen Zhishao listened to her exhaust the content of her article, and praised her, but she was a little lost in her heart: "I'm ready to pay tribute to Xia, so it's useless for Xia." ”
Although Chris had never heard of such an ancient term as "zhishi", she guessed, "You mean you quit?"
The old man frowned slightly, and said in his heart: Sometimes, this girl's words are really vulgar and straightforward.
"Is it because of the official family?" said Chris, "if he doesn't listen to you, others will listen to you!"
Chris said this unintentionally, but the listener meant it. The two of them in front of them knew that she was the queen mother, the emperor sent the Tang Sect to poison her biological mother, and there were many rumors that the Empress Dowager Gao preferred the second son of the emperor, Changwang Zhao Hao, the meaning of this sentence, isn't it self-evident that she is trying to attract talents for the establishment of a new monarch? !
No matter how bad the emperor is, the succession is justifiable, and he is not a faint king, so why should he abolish the elder and the younger. Yuwen Zhishao is naturally orthodox, and after listening to Chris's words, he suddenly felt disdain in his heart.
Chris was overwhelmed by the twists and turns, and hurriedly said: "Then it has become empty talk to break through the Helan Mountain, recover the sixteen states of Youyun, raise the five-way army, and directly take the Liao State?"
When Chris mentioned the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the old man's eyes flashed thoughtfully.
Yuwen Zhishao was silent, he didn't want to say anything more about what he had already decided.
She can only find her way home by crossing the Liao Kingdom, and now the Liao Kingdom seems to have become the number one enemy in Chris's heart, she said angrily: "Hmph! It seems that I can only rely on myself to destroy the Liao Kingdom." ”
"What?" The Empress Dowager is an ambitious woman who is keen on power, but she generally only enjoys the power struggle in the palace, and there are a few who can really care about the people and plot the world, and there is only one female martial artist for thousands of years. There is only ambition, but there is no means, and in the end it will only bring disaster to the country and the people, Yuwen Zhishao couldn't help but exclaim, and said sternly, "If the husband wants to achieve a career, he naturally wants to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and he wants to send troops to the Liao country. ”
Chris raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuwen Zhishao, a good sentence: "Loyal to the monarch to serve the country"! The feudal concept of the supremacy of imperial power and strict hierarchy is really a sharp blade, and it is absolutely a restriction and imprisonment of individual behavior and thoughts, and under the rule of this kind of thought, people's freedom, equality, and fairness are not all illusory. She doesn't care about how people in this era are imprisoned in their thoughts, and the Western democratic system has no soil here, but she doesn't think that these two people in front of her should be such narrow-minded people, so she finally opened her mouth again.
"People in this world only know how to be loyal to the king and serve the country! But I only know that 'all people are born equal', at the banquet that day, the students said 'Zhang Zi' on one side, and 'Zhou Zi' on the other, I went back to read the books of these two people, one advocated the spirit of Tai Xu, and the other advocated the Tao of Wuji Taiji, which was all saying that 'people are different, so people are not equal' This is all making excuses for the concept of hierarchy. The difference between people is not in status, but in personality and hobbies...... There are many factors, and why is it that Confucianism is superior to others when it comes to learning, I like to farm and raise pigs, and I am stupid because I am good at practicing martial arts and boxing? ”
Such a statement of the equality of all living beings was so shocking in ancient society that the room was silent for a while. Both of them thought that she was an inner palace woman who wanted to change the emperor for her own selfishness, but now it sounds completely different. Both of them looked at the woman who told these words with complicated expressions, she had the grace of a modern woman they had never seen before, dazzling, calm, wise, and confident, not because of the noble status added to her.
Chris also noticed the subtle changes in the emotions of the two, and she said to herself: Forget it, they can't understand it.
I can't realize how much of a shocking wave this bombshell I dropped has stirred up in the hearts of listeners. Yuwen Zhishao remained silent, and finally he said that he had something to do, and left soon after.
As the saying goes, "the mouth of a person is short, and the hand of a person is short", and the old man also said that he would make a new mask for her, and he disappeared in a flash.
In the afternoon, Chris wandered around the pharmacy bored, and ran into the old man's study. The study was full of calligraphy and picture scrolls, and she looked up and saw a painting tube on the bookshelf, so she took it down. When I opened the painting tube, I found that there was no painting inside, but it seemed to contain something. She poured it out and saw that it was a piece of red silk. It seemed to be wrapped in something, and she took it in her hand and flipped it, fluttering.
When I opened it again, I saw that there was a delicate mask hidden in the tube.
Chris rolled his eyes, naturally not polite, and said to himself: I'll try it first.
It took Chris a long time to put on this mask.
When she summoned Xiong Daiying, even he was stunned, and the master's face, even expression, and demeanor were as if he had changed someone.
Chris stroked his beard and shook his head, as if he had become a middle-aged uncle.
