I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Zi Nu covered her mouth and laughed even more. She didn't expect Zhang He to have such a humorous side.

Pour off the burnt oil and start over!

In the kitchen, Zi Nu is lighting the fire, Zhang He is in charge of cooking, men and women are matched, the work is not tiring, but it is a bit expensive!

In the living room of the Zhang Mansion, Yao Jia and Dun Ruo were bragging, eating desserts, drinking fine wine, and discussing ancient and modern literati and poets.

"Our Daqin's cultural background is still not good enough. Let's not talk about the distance, let's just say that King Qin Zhaoxiang has not seen a literati in our Daqin. There are a few, and they are still outsiders..." Yao Jia said thoughtfully, stroking his beard.

Dunwei also pondered for a while, and agreed very much: "Yes, we can't solve the problem by force. After the world is unified, how will the martial arts govern the world? We need literati..."

"Now the king and the court are facing a situation where no one can use them," Yao Jia said.

He paused and said, "Didn't Zhang He already suggest to the king to build a college to cultivate management talents who are inferior to Daqin?"

"In the early stage, which hundreds of disciples can we appoint and which previous management talents from various countries!"

"Hey, it's not that you don't know that the king hates corruption the most. Those people are corrupt. This time Feng Jie went to investigate and found out all the talents who defected from other countries."

"That kid Zhang He said, if you get close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you get close to ink, you will be black. It's really a famous aphorism!"

"Let's talk about Daqin talents, you old man, you start to praise your son-in-law again, you have to know, your daughter hasn't passed the family yet!"

"You two are so elegant!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded outside, the two of them were taken aback, and their hearts tightened suddenly.

It seems, it seems... It is the voice of the king!

"Hahaha, the two lovers are not polite. The widow felt bored in the palace, so I went out and walked around. After walking, I arrived at Zhang He's door. Now that I have reached the door, I came in to see what difficulties I have."

The two quickly got up and bowed to meet: "I have seen the king."

"The two of you came here too?"

Yao Jia: "Your Majesty, I heard that a cow died in Zhang He's family, and they came here for a tooth-beating sacrifice. It happened that Your Majesty also came, so we just had a meal."

"It just so happened that I suddenly thought of something and wanted to report it to the king."

He smiled weakly and said, "Your Majesty, that boy Zhang He is cooking. Your Majesty is having dinner with us. It should be a good story. Hearing about that boy's cooking skills, he is very famous!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

Sure enough, in terms of shame, I still can't compare with these two in front of me!

Open your eyes and talk nonsense, just open your mouth!

"Then... shall we just wait?"

"Your Majesty, please drink a bottle, this wine is not bad."

Ying Zheng has known for a long time that Zhang He is far ahead of all contemporary people in terms of eating and drinking, there is no doubt about this.

"Zhang He, get the hell out of here, I, Li Si, can't finish with you..."

Suddenly, Li Si's curse sounded in the yard.

Ying Zheng, Yao Jia, all looked out the door with their eyes widened.

Li Si didn't listen to Uncle Liao's advice and broke in, his eyes widened and his mind went blank.

Chapter 284 Eating, etiquette, the system is alive

Liz cracked!

Fuck, why is the king here?

After Li Si's mind went blank for a while, he immediately came to his senses.

Kneeling on the ground, he immediately shouted: "Chen Li Si, I have met the king, the king has been around for ten thousand years!"

Ying Zheng frowned, this Li Si, the widow finally had a meal, and you came along, there are too many people, how embarrassing?

"What are you doing here? I heard you scolding Zhang He just now, do you have a festival?"

Li Si swallowed his saliva, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I and Zhang Shangqing are close friends, and we usually have a good relationship."

"Hmph, the widow already knows. If the relationship is not good, can we go to brothels and other places together?"

"Hmph, I have lost all face of the widow."

Li Si (with cold sweat): "..."

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves to die, and please punish him, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng originally wanted to clean up these ignorant things, and when he went on an envoy to another country, he actually went to play in a brothel!

"Damn it, it's impossible, the punishment is certain..."

"However, let's not talk about this matter today, come and sit down, and try Zhang He's craftsmanship today!"

"Sinner, thank you, the king, for not killing me."

Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't understand why the king was at Zhang He's house. At this moment, shouldn't the king be reviewing the memorial in the palace?

Could it be that the king and the weak Yao Jia are discussing national affairs?

But I am also the guest of the king, how can I lose myself when discussing national affairs?

Could it be that the king no longer trusts himself?

Li Si began to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, because he went to a brothel, and both his family and business collapsed. Your uncle Zhang He, I, Li Si, and you are endless, you killed me, Li Si, woo woo woo...

Yao Jia smiled and said, "Li Fengchang, come and have a glass of fine wine... Hey, what's wrong with your face, why is it disfigured? Could it be that you met a tiger?"

The corner of Li Si's mouth twitched, showing a very ugly smile, which was uglier than crying, and said: "Captain, I accidentally bumped into it..."

He smiled weakly and said: "Master Li, why does it look like you were arrested? Could it be that your wife knew about your going to the brothel?"

Li Si cupped his hands and said, "No, no, my wife has always been steady and won't be so fierce!"

Ying Zheng saw that Li Si was about to cry. Obviously, Li Si was caught in the face, and only Mrs. Li Si could catch Li Si's face.

"Okay, it's been a long time since our monarchs and ministers have had a drink together, let's have a drink."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three raised their wine bottles and drank them all in one gulp.

"The steaming braised beef with potatoes and braised beef is here. Haha, the king probably won't be able to eat such a good thing. Today, you two old men have something to eat."

Zhang He was holding a super large clay pot, which contained pieces of beef and golden potatoes. The pot was steaming hot and exuded a fragrance.

"Uh, this..."

Zhang He was stunned, staring blankly at the four people sitting in the living room, I am so special...

Uncle Liao, you damn old thing, the king is here and you didn't even tell me?

Ying Zheng's face instantly became extremely dark, and it was obvious that he was a little angry!

This bastard, he didn't want to make himself feel better.

"Your Majesty? You're already here! Damn, I've specially prepared a food box for you, and I'm about to let someone send it to the palace. It's all right now, there's no need to send it away, hehe..."

Yingzheng's face looked better now, and then he smiled and said: "The widow was out on tour, passing by you, so I came in to have a look. I didn't expect the two lovers to be there, so I sat down and drank a glass of wine to warm up..."

Zhang He: "..."

"Your Majesty, sit down quickly. It is a great honor for you to come to my house. How can I blame you!"

"I'm going to serve the food, everyone, please wash your hands first and put on your protective clothing."

The maid hurriedly brought hot water and towels for washing hands, as well as the gown that Zhang He mentioned!

Zhang He ran away and saw Uncle Liao outside. Uncle Liao looked helpless and said, "Young Master, Your Majesty won't let me say..."

"After today, I will settle accounts with you slowly, Uncle Liao, Uncle Liao, you almost killed me!"

When Zhang He arrived in the kitchen, Zi Nu just came out with bowls and chopsticks. Zhang He smiled wryly, "Take two more pairs, and the king and Li Si are also here!"

"Your Majesty is here to eat too... Uh, why is Your Majesty here!"

"Here comes Cengfan. There is a dark thread from the black ice table at home. Why doesn't the king know that I'm cooking today?"

Zi Nu's face turned cold, and she asked, "Who is it, do you want to kill it?"

"My wife, doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with me if you kill me? There are thieves in the house. This will make the king feel more at ease with us!"

Zi Nu nodded, and Zhang He could feel that his daughter-in-law was murderous just now.

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't worry, our king, he is different from other kings, he has his ambitions in the world, and he is never afraid of bad intentions, even if there is, he will kill me!"

Zi Nu nodded: "Well, I'll listen to you."

The two came to the living room with steamed crucian carp and lamb chops in their hands.

It's just that Zhang He completely forgot that the design of his living room is different from the trend of this era. It is not a single table for one person, but a big round table where everyone sits and eats together.

The resting place is also different. Zhang He designed a small sofa and coffee table.

Because Zhang He was really not used to kneeling and sitting. After kneeling for a while, he wanted to sit cross-legged, and his knees hurt terribly.

How to do it now?

Monarchs and ministers must never eat at the same table, even if they are friends, they cannot eat at the same table or use the same tableware.

This is the big trend of this era, determined by etiquette.

Just like drinking, they will also cover it with their sleeves to show that their indecent drinking actions will not be seen by others, and at the same time show respect for others.

Zhang He put the food on the big round table, waited for everyone to wash their hands, put on their protective clothing, and walked into the living room, everyone was also stunned.

Zhang He was eager to gain wisdom, and said with a smile: "Today's cuisine is quite special, and it is not easy to separate, so please punish the king..."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay, since we're in your house, follow your family's rules. I think it's quite interesting to eat together like this."

"In the army, is this the way to eat? Only by eating and living with soldiers can we raise an invincible and invincible army..."

"What the king said is that a qualified general should eat and live with the soldiers at the bottom, so as to improve his combat effectiveness."

Everyone: "..."

Dun Ruo and Yao Jia immediately glared at Zhang He, you little bastard, even if you are in the army, the king can't eat and live with the soldiers, let alone eat here?

This... Where is the king, if they dare to sit on it, even if the king doesn't care, if it spreads to other people, the crime of treason will be charged to their heads.

Sitting up with the king, isn't it just to plot rebellion?

I can't eat today's meal, this damn Zhang He, how does he do things?

Li Si didn't think about anything else, he just thought about when it would end, and then he hurried home, today was too exciting, he had to go home and let his wife smoke again, calm down!

Yingzheng sat down with a golden knife, and the Taishi chair was very comfortable. He felt that if the seats in the political hall were changed to this, it would be quite comfortable to sit on.

"Everyone, please sit down. Just treat this place as the military. Today is special. Don't worry about etiquette!"

"Miss Zi Nu is also sitting here. This will be your home from now on, and you are also a courtier with a title, so don't be restrained."

"I dare not wait!"

Suddenly, Yao Jia and Li suddenly knelt on the ground, wanting to kill each other to vent their anger.

"Excuse me, let's get up and sit down to eat!" Ying Zheng raised his voice.

"I dare not wait!"

Ying Zheng sighed. The king called himself "solitary" or "widow", which means a lonely family. It seems that sitting in this position means that there is a deep gap between himself and everyone.

Zhang He sat down with a big grin, and said with a smile: "My lord, I will accompany you to eat, and they won't let you down if they don't eat."

"Zi Nu, come here too, let's toast the king with a glass of fine wine, and we will have a marriage from the king in the future!"

Zi Nu took a look at Dunwei, who didn't even dare to lift her head, and then glanced at Ying Zheng, who looked at her with a half-smile.

Zi Nu plucked up her courage, and finally walked up, and the two toasted Ying Zheng with a glass of fine wine.

Ying Zheng drank it all in one gulp, and said with a happy smile, "Good wine!"

Zhang He winked at Dunwei and Yao Jia vigorously. These two old guys are usually extremely smart. Why are they so stubborn about etiquette at this time?

Is the king the kind of king who sticks to the old system and doesn't try to make new ones?

If even this bit of etiquette has to be haggled over, how can we reform it in the future?

No wonder in history, all the ministers opposed the system of prefectures and counties, and advocated the enfeoffment system. Even Yingzheng's eldest son Fusu, under the influence of those diehards, wrote a letter to the first emperor Yingzheng to entrust the world.

Only Ying Zheng and Li Si persevered, vetoed everyone, and insisted on the county system.

The system of prefectures and counties is definitely advanced. It has played a great role in strengthening the centralization of power, adding imperial power, and consolidating national unity.
