Chapter 131: Inwardly and Externally (1)
Because of the preparations for the funeral, Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi had already moved to live in the palace. Naturally, they also brought Wu Jiu's cheap son Xiao Ziwen with them.
Xiao Ziwen is honest and obedient, very well-behaved, and he is still a little facial paralyzed. He doesn't ask for anything. It's really nice to have such a sensible young son.
But Qi Hou felt that it was still a bit bad, because the second brother said before that he wanted to treat Xiao Ziwen the best, Qi Hou was quite jealous, but Qi Hou told himself that the second brother was just acting on the spot, and he couldn't compete with a child to be jealous .
Later, the three of them lived in peace in the palace, but there was one thing that Qi Hou couldn't bear, that is, Xiao Ziwen was a child. For some reason, children were born with special energy. Woke up so early, often when Qi Hou wanted to do something at night, or when he got up early to do something, he would come over and knock on the door with "bang bang bang".
as if now...
When Qihou woke up in the morning, Wu Jiao was still curled up in his arms to sleep. Wu Jiao was afraid of the cold, and now it was midwinter, so Qihou's benefits were almost doubled. chest.
Qi Hou stretched out his hand to pinch Wu Jiao's hair, slowly persevering, Wu Jiao seemed to have woken up a little bit, his long eyelashes trembled, and slowly opened his eyes, he was very confused just after waking up, and he didn't have any focal length yet. , his eyelashes trembled several times, Qi Hou felt itchy.
With a smile on his face, Qi Hou leaned over and kissed Wu Jiu on the lips. Wu Jiao hadn't woken up yet, so his hysteria didn't show up, and he didn't hold his lips and look at him with disgust.
So Qi Hou was really flattered, hurriedly continued to ask for benefits, and continued to kiss Wu Jiu's lips, Wu Jiu was very obedient, he hugged Qi Hou's neck in a daze, showing a satisfied expression like a kitten.
Qi Hou was so teased by him, just when Qi Hou was about to eat Wu Jiao, he suddenly heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang!" knocking on the door outside, and Qi Hou was terrified.
Wu Jiu also woke up in an instant, and then under Qi Hou's gaze, he wiped his mouth in disgust, Qi Hou suddenly looked helpless, and said: "Leave him alone, sleep for a while, anyway, there is nothing to do these days."
Wu Jiu was pushed down by Marquis Qi, and the kid outside smashed the door, saying in a childish voice, "Daddy, Daddy..."
Accompanied by Xiao Ziwen's milky yell, and the constant voice behind him, he yelled "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo for" for eunuchs and maids were frightened by the milky yell of Xiaoziwen, after all, it was A huge great white wolf.
Hearing the screams outside, Wu Jiu quickly turned over and said, "I want to go out and have a look, Ziwen is outside."
Qi Hou felt that he was abandoned in an instant, so he had to get up and put on clothes with his second brother.
Xiao Ziwen was sitting on the back of the big white wolf, because he was only six years old, and because of malnutrition, he was small, and his stature was considered short among children of the same age. It was actually a bit difficult to ride on the back of the big white wolf. One leg was stretched apart as far as possible, and the little feet in the small shoes were placed on the big white back, shaking, because the big white wolf was always "having fun", so Xiao Ziwen had to grab a handful of the big white wolf's fur, and the big white wolf It doesn't feel any pain either, one person and one wolf are having fun outside the door, frightening the passers-by.
Wu Jiu opened the door with a "squeak" sound, and saw Xiao Ziwen sitting on the back of the white wolf, almost fell off by the jolt, and hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Ziwen.
When Xiao Ziwen was picked up, he immediately "giggled" and said sweetly, "Daddy."
The Great White Wolf also arched Wu Jiu's calf back and forth, because his body size can be said to be huge, so with such an arch, Wu Jiu almost fell down directly, but luckily Qihou was behind, and he reached out to catch it. Bundle.
Wu Jiu hugged Xiao Ziwen and said, "Ziwen, don't sit on Dabai's back."
When Qihou heard them talk about Dabai, he felt that he was not well. Why did he feel that Dabai was his brother? Otherwise, why would he be called Dabai and himself Xiaobai?
Xiao Ziwen tilted his head strangely, puffed out his fleshy cheeks, and said, "Daddy, why can't you sit on Dabai's back?"
Wu Jiu said: "Dabai ran too fast, he would throw you off, and Daddy would feel bad if he fell off, you know?"
Xiao Ziwen seemed to understand what he heard, so he nodded, put his short fleshy arms around Wu Jiu's neck, and said, "Ziwen said it."
When Xiao Ziwen said this, Qihou burst out laughing with a "poof". Xiaoziwen spoke in a childish voice, not with an accent, but his pronunciation was not quite standard. Qi Hou just drank a sip of tea and almost spit it out.
Seeing him laughing at his son's pronunciation, Wu Jiu gave Qihou a blank look, then sat on the mat by himself, put Xiao Ziwen in his arms, with a fatherly expression on his face, and said earnestly, "Come on Xiao Ziwen, talk to Daddy." Say, yes... I know."
Wu Jiu purposely pronounced the word knowing a little longer, so that Xiao Ziwen could hear his own pronunciation, Xiao Ziwen nodded, and said with a serious face, "Ji-dao."
As Xiao Ziwen said, his big bright eyes were still shining, and he looked at Wu Jiao sincerely. Wu Jiu was almost blinded by his sincere eyes, but in order to prevent the future prince of Chu from growling up, he would also talk cutely. With an accent, Wu Jiu still shook his head and said, "I know."
Xiao Ziwen tried his best to say: "Ji Dao."
Wu Jiu took a deep breath and said, "I know, I know."
Xiao Ziwen blinked his big eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Ji-dao, ji-dao."
"Hahaha……"
At this moment, Qihou next to him couldn't help it anymore, and immediately burst out laughing. The tea almost spilled on him, and quickly put the cup on the case. Seeing Qi Hou laughing out of breath, like the three idiots of the sledge, he also grinned, and yelled cheerfully "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Wu Jiu looked at Qihou and Dabai "having fun", while Xiao Ziwen had an expression of confusion, very sincere, very sincere, which made Wu Jiao really lose his mind.
Wu Jiu sighed, and said, "Forget it, Xiao Ziwen, let's get on with it, remember not to ride on Dabai's back."
Xiao Ziwen immediately jumped down from Wu Jiao's arms, waved to the big white wolf, and said, "Daddy, Ziwen has spoken!"
"puff……"
The boy Wen Mingming sincerely agreed, and Qi Hou laughed badly beside him, and almost fell to the ground, pressing his abdomen.
Xiao Ziwen looked puzzled, but he still led Dabai out of the house, and then went to play on his own.
Wu Jiu stared at Qi Hou who fell to the ground with a smile on his face, narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Jiu found an important problem."
Qi Hou almost burst into tears from laughter, quickly wiped it off, and said, "Second brother, what's the problem?"
Wu Jiao said indifferently: "Jiao finally understands where your abs come from because you eat so much every day and don't practice martial arts yet."
Qi Hou didn't react for a while, and said, "What? Where?"
Wu Jiu said, "I just laughed."
Qi Hou felt very cold for a moment, his second brother's jokes were really...
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi are fine these days. After all, they have driven out all the states of Lu and Guo. Although they have not been wiped out, this is still a big victory. At present, there is no one in Luoshi City who can threaten them, so Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi is very idle, just waiting for Ji Lang to prepare for the funeral, and the funeral will not be long, after the funeral, Ji Lang will ascend the throne.
The two of them had nothing to do, so they went out for a walk after breakfast, and there was some sporadic snowfall outside, Qi Hou put a cloak on Wu Jiao's back, and the two of them went out.
Xiao Ziwen and Dabai were playing in the garden, Dabai was sticking out his tongue, his head was up, his mouth was open wide, as if he was tasting the snow, Xiao Ziwen was staring at Dabai curiously, and raised his head Come get ready to try.
Wu Jiu rushed over to stop Xiao Ziwen, and taught him that snow is not edible, Qi Hou felt a headache when he saw it, but fortunately his son is already very big, so there is no need for people to worry about these mung bean-sized things.
However, Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu's troubled face teaching his children, and always felt that there was some regret in his heart, as if... the lack of treatment of children, which he would never be able to make up for, as if he had already started a new life. Once, still can not make up.
Xiao Ziwen said: "Daddy, the big brother is over there, and there is a big sister!"
Wu Jiao wondered what Ziwen said about the big brother, and it turned out that the big brother that Xiao Ziwen said was Wang Zizheng. When Wu Jiao heard it, he was free and free, and immediately burst into gossip, wondering who the big sister Xiao Ziwen was talking about?
Xiao Ziwen dragged Wu Jiu to watch them secretly, Qihou looked at them helplessly, and the big white wolf followed them, shaking his head and tail, so Qihou had no choice but to follow.
The three of them walked over with a wolf, and Xiao Ziwen led the way. They were in the small building narrated in the garden. The small building was like a pavilion, with holes on all sides, so you could clearly see the scene inside.
Sure enough, Wang Zizheng was in the small building, and there was really a "big sister" with him.
The woman was about 14 years old, young and pretty, with a very petite figure, only reaching Wang Zizheng's chest, and at first glance she seemed to be a perfect match.
The woman was wearing a maid's clothes, standing in the small building, and Prince Zheng was half-bent, or even half-kneeling in front of her, holding the hand of the court lady, not knowing what she was doing.
Wu Jiao leaned over curiously and took a look, it turned out that Prince Zheng was bandaging the wound on the maid's hand.
The maid's finger was injured, she looked like she was about to bleed, she was trembling with pain, just happened to be seen by the idle Prince Zheng, he had wound medicine on his body, it was given to him by Tangwu before, and asked to smear it on his abdomen The wound medicine I put on, but it was useless, so I kept it on my body. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Ever since he came back from the posthouse that day, Prince Zheng thought that Ji Lang still had feelings for him, saying that rights were more important than his son was actually Ji Lang's momentary words, but after returning, Ji Lang didn't say a word to Prince Zheng. Wang Zizheng suddenly felt that he might be thinking too much. He really didn't understand what his father, who had been with him day and night for nearly 20 years, was thinking and what he wanted.
Prince Zheng thought that the relationship between their father and son could be improved, and even get closer, but it didn't improve, let alone get closer. Now he can't see Ji Lang for a day, and every time he goes to the small bedroom, he is stopped by the eunuch , Said that Zhou Gong was very busy, busy with the funeral, Wang Zizheng felt that his father might hate him and didn't want to see him.
Prince Zheng came to the garden to relax, but he saw a few court ladies bullying a small and thin maid. There are many such bullying things in the palace, and Wang Zizheng lives in the palace, so it should be common, but the prince Zheng happened to be in a bad mood, so he rushed over to fight the injustice.
Those bullying maids were quickly scared away and didn't dare to stay at all. Wang Zizheng found that the hand of the bullied little maid had a big cut and was bleeding, so he touched his arms subconsciously. , there is a bottle of wound medicine there.
Tang Wu gave Prince Zheng this bottle of wound medicine before, and Ji Lang gave him the medicine for the first time. Gradually, Ji Lang was too busy, busy with his rights, busy with his political affairs, busy with his This bottle of medicine has never been used again, and Wang Zizheng himself is always forgetful, so he kept it all the time.
Now that Wang Zizheng took out the bottle of wound medicine, he felt a little emotional, so he just rubbed it on the little maid.
The little maid shivered from the pain, Wang Zizheng said: "It hurts a little, just bear with it, the bleeding will stop soon."
The little palace maid hurriedly knelt down to thank the prince, and said, "My servant, Wei Er, thank you very much, the prince!"
Seeing that she was about to kneel, Wang Zizheng quickly stopped her and said, "You don't need to kneel to me, it's just a little effort, just get up."
The two people over there held hands and knelt down, Wu Jiao watched with gusto, with a gossip look on his face, Marquis Qi was really helpless, he didn't know what Wu Jiao was looking at, what's so good about a court lady?
Xiao Ziwen looked at it for a while, but didn't see any gossip, so he squatted down to play with Dabai. Over there, Wang Zizheng gave medicine to the maid named Wei'er, and left soon, without any nostalgia.
Wu Jiu was watching the gossip, but all the gossip male protagonists left by themselves, so there was nothing to watch.
However, in the next few days, Wu Jiu often saw Wang Zizheng and the maid named Wei Er together. The little palace maid liked to laugh very much, she was a little shy and innocent when she laughed.
Wang Zizheng doesn't know why, but he likes to see her smile very much. When she smiles, it seems that there is nothing bothering her anymore, and Wei'er's smile is just like her previous self, innocent and fearless...
Every time Wang Zizheng sees Wei Er, he sighs very much, the old self has disappeared after all.
After going back and forth, Wu Jiu often saw Wang Zizheng and Wei Er together, and the signs of those two people became bigger and bigger, and became more and more obvious. Another time, Wang Zizheng and Wei Er almost kissed each other, but it was also the first time for Wang Zizheng, so it was just Ready to kiss on the cheek.
But at that time, Ziwen was riding on the big white wolf, and suddenly he came out from the grass, scaring Prince Zheng and Wei'er. Wei'er was very embarrassed and ran away.
Wu Jiao was even more embarrassed, and hurried to catch Xiao Ziwen, who was still stubborn with Dabai, and didn't know that he was disturbing others. What if it falls?"
Xiao Ziwen said with a pitiful face: "Ziwen is wrong, Ziwen will never dare again, Daddy, don't be angry."
Wu Jiu was helpless, he didn't know how Xiao Ziwen learned it, he pretended to be pitiful, he looked like Marquis Qi, those who didn't know thought that Marquis Qi was his own father.
Seeing how pitiful Xiao Ziwen was, Qihou also smiled and said, "My son likes riding and shooting. It's a good thing. I just teach him how to ride a horse some other day."
Wu Jiu couldn't help but feel unnatural when he heard Qi Hou calling his son so smoothly.
Prince Zheng was dating Wei Er, but Wu Jiao and Xiao Ziwen rushed out suddenly, and the date was ruined. Seeing Wu Jiao treat Xiao Ziwen so affectionately, even though he was not his own, Wang Zizheng couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. The biological ones are not treated as well as Ziwen's.
Prince Zheng sighed, turned his head and left.
Qi Hou took Xiao Ziwen to learn how to ride a horse. Wu Jiao was worried, so he just watched from the side. The big white wolf was also a follower, and he had to follow. But the big white wolf sat by and watched, frightening a group of horses. Like a wild horse, it kept barking, kicked, and trembled with fear, while Dabai watched the little master ride the horse with great interest.
Everyone made a fuss all morning, Qi Hou hugged Xiao Ziwen, really like a father and son, learning how to ride a horse was pretty good, but Xiao Ziwen's stomach let out a "grunt" sound, and he was already hungry. .
Qi Hou smiled, rubbed Xiao Ziwen's cheeks, and said, "My son is hungry."
Xiao Ziwen patted his belly and nodded, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou had no choice but to always call his son his son, seeing that Xiao Ziwen was hungry, he hurriedly asked someone to pass on the meal.
Qihou and Xiao Ziwen sat in a row, and Dabai was lying next to him. The two of them talked like a wolf while eating.
Qihou sighed and said: "The meals in King Zhou's palace are nothing more than this. They are not as delicious as the second brother's cooking."
Xiao Ziwen was holding a big piece of meat with bones, eating it with relish, his mouth was full of oil, he chewed hard with his mouth pouted, nodded in line with Qihou's words, and said sincerely: "Daddy did a good job!"
Dabai next to him was also snoring and eating his lunch, with a look of confusion on his face, but he cooperated with him by saying "Aoooooooooooooooo!" twice.
Seeing that they were eating what was on the plate and still thinking about what was in the pot, Wu Jiu said helplessly: "I have eaten lunch, even if I cook, I can only eat it at night."
Qihou's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will eat supper."
Qi Hou is not the only foodie nowadays, Xiao Ziwen also likes Wu Jiao’s meals, Wu Jiao is very helpless, after lunch, let Qi Hou take Xiao Ziwen to take a nap, and go to the dining room to see what can be used ready to make something delicious.
Wu Jiu looked at the big one and the small one, fell asleep immediately after eating, and the big white wolf lay next to him, also looking drowsy, thinking that he might have kept a group of foodies in captivity...
Wu Jiu came out of the house and went directly to the dining room. After entering the dining room, he heard the voice of a kitchen man laughing and said: "Miss Weier, thank you for coming to help us. We have too few people these days. It's a mess."
A woman's voice, a little timid, said with a smile: "It's not hard, the maid happens to have nothing to do, so I can come over."
Wu Jiao walked in, and saw Wei Er who was helping in the dining room at a glance, but he didn't expect Wei Er to be here.
Wei'er was wearing a palace lady's clothes, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing her arms like lotus roots, her fair skin was like fat, her cheeks were flushed from being busy, and she looked very charming.
Wei'er moved very quickly, helping out in the dining room, where it seemed that Ji Lang was preparing some afternoon food for Ji Lang, and then the ingredients for the evening, some of which needed to be processed in advance.
Wu Jiao walked in, because he was a frequent visitor to the dining room these days, and many cooks knew him, so they quickly saluted, and Wei Er hurriedly saluted respectfully, too timid to look at Wu Jiao.
Wu Jiao looked at Wei'er. If she was very pretty, Wei'er might be [-]:[-]. Especially that timid look was very distressing, especially able to arouse the desire to conquer and protect in men.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just go about your own business."
Because the chefs have some experience these days, so they went to work on their own. Wu Jiao walked in and looked around. In fact, he didn’t know what to do. After all, this is the palace, and the ingredients Wu Jiao wanted to use were very “ Side door", you can't find it in other people's fields, so you have to search for it, and make meals when you see any ingredients.
Wu corrected searching, and saw a few cooks digging out things in a large basin, and put the things they took out in a bowl aside, one of the cooks said, "Hey, come here, just pour this out." ,useless."
Wu Jiu looked around and saw a young cook holding up a big water basin, and when he lifted one end, he could see the contents clearly, it turned out to be a basin of snails.
Things like snails and snails were very low-end in ancient times. After all, these things look dirty, and the meat inside the hard shell is covered with sand, which is very difficult to handle. In the spring and autumn when seasoning is scarce, basically Can't handle things like snails.
Wu Jiu saw a basin of snails, probably they were caught while fishing for aquatic products, but now they are about to be thrown away.
Wu Jiao hurried over, stopped the cook, and said, "Don't throw it away, just give it to me."
The cook was taken aback. He didn't know what the King of Chu wanted these dirty things for, but he still handed them over to the King of Chu.
Wu Jiu hugged the water basin and put it next to him. This big basin looked quite fresh, so he couldn't help but rubbed his palms, thinking to himself that he could make snail noodles for Qihou and Xiao Ziwen. ate this thing.
Speaking of snail noodles, it is a very famous snack in modern times. People, whether rich or not, basically like the taste. Many white-collar workers who go to high-end places will eat a bowl of snail noodles at noon. Some snail noodles soup smells There will be a stinky smell, but like stinky tofu, it tastes extremely delicious, coupled with the unique hot and sour seasoning, accompanied by the chewiness of the rice noodles, the taste is fresh and refreshing, absolutely delicious.
Wu Jiao started to deal with those snails with a smile. There is no chili in this era, so spicy ones will not be so refreshing, but it just happens to be eaten by Xiao Ziwen. enough.
Wu Jiao soaked the snails and let the snails spit out the sand. At this time, he started to make rice noodles.
Rice noodles are not difficult to make, but it takes a little time. At this time, they can be eaten for dinner, so Wu Jiu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to speed up the action.
Wu Jiao was making rice noodles, and then went to wash the vegetables. He got some bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and vegetable leaves. He wanted to cut these side dishes into small pieces. He was making rice noodles and side dishes at the same time. .
At this time, Wei'er just finished helping, and when she saw Wu Jiao, she said timidly, "King Chu, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Wu Jiao glanced back, Wei Er was a little shy, standing behind him, Wu Correct was too busy, so he said: "Help me cut these into small pieces, thank you."
Wei'er hurriedly said in a low voice: "This is what a servant girl should do. How can I make the king of Chu thank you? It's really a shame for a servant girl."
As she spoke, she quickly rolled up her sleeves again, and then began to process the side dishes.
Wei'er doesn't talk much, and she always looks shy, but she works very quickly. She quickly washed the dishes and put them on the case. Dishes neatly arranged.
Wu Jiao heard the sound of "Duo duo duo duo...", the sound was very fast and the frequency was very high. When Wu Jiao turned his head in surprise, he saw that Wei Er hadn't chopped randomly. She was holding a kitchen knife, and those side dishes were cut The cuts are exactly the same size, and the small squares are neat and uniform, and they are quickly formed under Wei'er's knife.
Wu Jiu was a little surprised, looked up at Wei'er, then looked down at the side dishes on the case, and said with a smile, "Do you often cook?"
Wei'er said shyly: "My servant's family is very poor, and I have parents and a younger brother. Before entering the palace, Wei'er often cooks meals at home, so I know a little bit."
Wu Jiu nodded, still surprised by Wei Er's knife skills, her knife skills are very exquisite, it can be said that Wu Jiao has never had such exquisite knife skills in his whole life...
Wu Jiao narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, walked over at this moment, said with a smile: "Okay, it's fine to cut it like this, let's put it in a bowl."
"Yes, King Chu."
Wei'er quickly agreed, and put the diced vegetables in a bowl. At this moment, Wu Jiao came over and just touched the kitchen knife next to him. , Wei'er was startled, and suddenly made a mistake to the side, and heard a "bang!", and the kitchen knife fell directly to the ground.
Wu Jiu showed a surprised expression, and said: "How about it, I'm sorry, I was careless, are you injured, show me quickly!"
Wu Jiu stretched out his hand nervously to grab Wei Er's hand, Wei Er's hand was caught by him immediately, unable to struggle, and was touched by Wu Jiu "frivolously" twice, Wei Er's face immediately turned pale. Blushing, she said in a low voice, "King Chu, the servant girl is fine."
Wu Jiao stretched out his hand and wiped Wei'er's palm twice, then let go of Wei'er's hand, and said with a smile: "It's fine, it's fine."
Wei'er blushed, and said: "Let the King of Chu care, the servant girl is really terrified."
Wu Jiao shook his head, then turned his head to prepare his own snail noodles, but when he turned his head, he narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, he just touched Weier's hand, there was a callus in Weier's palm, and that The cocoon was not made by cooking with a kitchen knife, because it did not grow in the same place as the cocoon in Wu Jiao's palm.
The cocoon in Wei'er's palm grows in the same position as the cocoon in Qihou's palm...
Wu Jiao made the snail noodles, and it was almost dark. He walked back with the snail noodles and returned to the house. As soon as he entered, before he put down his things, he felt the wind on his back, and someone hugged him suddenly. stopped him.
Wu Jiu was taken aback by "Ho!", and almost threw all the snail powder out. Sure enough, he heard Qihou's voice saying, "Second brother, why have you been here for so long?"
Wu Jiu had no choice but to put down the plate of snail noodles and put it on the case. Qi Hou rushed over without seeing the food, but hugged Wu Jiao tightly and said, "I have heard about it. The house can tease the palace maids."
Wu Jiao said in surprise: "What? Molested the court lady?"
Qi Hou pulled Wu Jiu over, made him face him, squinted his eyes dangerously, bit the tip of Wu Jiu's nose lightly, and said, "Second brother, you still don't admit it? That maid named Wei'er, okay?" The great charm made Wang Zizheng lose his head, and now he has also fascinated Gu's second brother, second brother, Gu is so delicious."
Only then did Wu Jiu understand, and he felt rather helpless, why did Qi Hou know the news before he came back from the dining room?
Wu Jiu said, "How can Jiu moles a court lady?"
Qihou said: "Second brother still pretends not to admit it?"
Wu Jiu said helplessly: "When did Jiu play tricks? It's always been the king who played tricks."
Qihou put his arms around him and said, "Don't worry about Gu, does Second Brother not like to see Gu anymore?"
Wu Jiao almost rolled his eyes, lest Qi Hou say something that would make people get goosebumps, so he hurriedly said: "Jiao just thinks that there is something wrong with that maid named Wei'er."
Qihou said, "What's the problem?"
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "She's very good at knives, and she still has calluses on her palms. Jiu thinks that this Wei'er may not be simple, she seems to be good at martial arts."
Qi Hou was taken aback, the court ladies still know martial arts?Really unheard of.
However, while Qihou was surprised, he also breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Second brother is not empathizing, so I can rest assured. Just now, I almost lost my appetite and couldn't eat, but now I'm fine." "Second brother, what did you cook, it tastes so strange."
Qihou said, and immediately went to those bowls of snail noodles.
Wu Jiu was quite helpless. Could it be that only by empathizing with others can he stop Qi Hou Chi's footsteps?
Qihou walked over and lifted the lid, a strong smell rushed up to Qihou's nose, Qihou almost covered his nose for a moment, and said in surprise: "What smell? Why does it stink?"
There was no stinky tofu or durian in this era, so Qi Hou couldn't accept the stinky smell, so Wu Jiu just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you will know after you try it."
Qi Hou looked suspicious, but it was made by his second brother, and he went there all afternoon, so it must be delicious, even if it tasted bad, Qi Hou would eat it all.
Qi Hou immediately showed the expression of a strong man breaking his wrist, picked up the chopsticks, and set down the chopsticks in a dignified manner towards the bowl of snail noodles.
Baishengsheng rice noodles are very smooth and tender, and they are bouncy and will not be broken when pinched. They are very chewy and tough. The ingredients in the soup are also very rich. Bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms and some green vegetables look colorful. Spread a full surface.
Qihou picked up a chopstick of rice noodles, "huluhulu" and quickly put it into his mouth. He thought he would swallow the jujube whole, but as soon as he put it into his mouth, a umami taste rushed up. The soup was boiled all afternoon, so it was naturally delicious. , although it is snails, not seafood, but after Wu Jiao's taste, it is sour, spicy, and a little salty, and the taste is absolutely amazing.
Eating rice noodles, feeling the taste of snail noodles, I suddenly felt that the stinky smell has become absolute, and it is very refreshing after taking one bite. I can't stop after taking one bite, and I want to take a second bite immediately.
Qihou's eyes lit up obviously, and before he had time to say more, he immediately started to eat "snorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"; the feeling of rice noodles is different from that of noodles, smoother and smoother, and the entrance has the illusion of running directly into the throat.
While eating, Qihou said vaguely: "This... this rice noodles are delicious, just like the second brother, slippery."
Just as Qihou was talking, Xiao Ziwen came in with the big white wolf, and said with a puzzled look, "Daddy, what's so slippery?"
Wu Jiu was almost pissed off by Marquis Qi, and the children heard his words, Marquis Qi said wittily immediately: "The rice noodles are slippery, come here, son, it's time for dinner."
At the beginning, when Qi Hou called Xiao Ziwen's son, Xiao Ziwen would correct Qi Hou very honestly, but later Qi Hou called him a lot, and Xiao Ziwen listened to him, so he didn't care anymore.
Now that Marquis Qi calls it that, Xiao Ziwen has already rushed over, without any sense of disobedience.
Xiao Ziwen ran over, he was stubbornly tired, and just wanted to eat, Qi Hou carried him over and asked Xiao Ziwen to eat snail noodles, one big and one small immediately ate it, it looked very delicious.
Wu Jiu also sat down and ate his share, while Xiao Ziwen ate the snail noodles, while Big White Wolf rolled around coquettishly, as if he wanted to taste the snail noodles, his saliva almost dripped on the mat.
Xiao Ziwen grabbed a piece of rice noodles and threw it to the big white wolf. The big white wolf ate it in one bite.
Xiao Ziwen ate half of the snail noodles, Qihou saw that he was full and his belly was swollen, so he started to feed Dabai with snail noodles, and his heart was so distressed that his liver burst, and he hurriedly said: "Son, you are full , just give this to me?"
Xiao Ziwen tilted his head, but he really couldn't eat it anymore, his father taught him not to waste, so he sincerely pushed it to Qihou.
Wu Jiao saw that Qi Hou was robbing the children for something to eat, and he was very helpless. Qi Hou hurriedly brought over the bowl of snail noodles, for fear that Xiao Ziwen would repent. Although Xiao Ziwen did not repent, the big white wolf quit. The little master was feeding him, but suddenly there was nothing to eat. The big white wolf immediately yelled "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and circled around Qihou Da with an anxious look on his face. It's still Dabai, there is no majesty at all...
After Qihou ate a bowl and a half of snail rice noodles, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he drank all the soup, and then he was a little satisfied, Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched.
Wu Jiu felt that after adopting his adopted son, Xiao Ziwen did not act like a baby, but Qi Hou liked to act like a baby, as if he was fighting for favor with his son, which made him very distressed, but somehow it was beneficial.
After a few days of such a leisurely life, an eunuch came over and said that the Duke of Zhou invited them to a banquet in the small bedroom, and it will be a funeral in a few days, so he wanted to hold a banquet for them, just to discuss the sign of the funeral .
The funeral is approaching, and Wu Jiu figured that it was time for Ji Lang to discuss with them these few days. After all, although Ji Lang is a direct nobleman of the Zhou Kingdom, there are still many people who are eyeing him, but he is not as powerful. Someone is making trouble, so a surefire plan must be thought of.
Wu Jiu and Qihou handed Xiao Ziwen over to Ziqing and Tang Wu to take care of them, and left the house to prepare for the banquet.
It was already dusk, the two of them walked into the small bedroom, there was already an eunuch waiting, and he respectfully led them in, the inside was very lively, the maids and eunuchs filed in, setting up the banquet, it seemed that Ji Lang had spent a lot of money Son, the table is full of delicacies, all kinds of delicacies and wines.
Ji Lang is already here, wearing a very formal black court robe, without a crown, and tied her hair with a black jade crown. Instead of pulling all her hair back as usual, part of it is let down, which looks softer up.
When Ji Lang saw them coming, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It's Lang's good fortune that the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi appreciate you."
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou also bowed their hands, and Wu Jiu said, "Duke Zhou is too polite."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "Please sit down, please sit down, both of you."
While they were talking, another person walked in from outside, and it was Wang Zizheng. There were four seats in today's banquet, besides Ji Lang, Wu Jiu and Qihou, there was one more person, that must be Wang Zizheng.
After all, they are all "insiders".
Prince Zheng walked in and saw Ji Lang who was smiling, but Ji Lang met his eyes and immediately restrained her smile.
Prince Zheng bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Father."
Ji Lang just said lightly, "Sit down."
Prince Zheng bowed his hands again, and then he entered the seat and sat next to him as a companion.
When everyone got into their seats, Ji Lang said with a smile: "Today, the banquet held by Lang is to thank the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi for their great help these days. Without the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi, I am afraid that Lang would not be able to reach Luoshi City. Not to mention sitting in this small dormitory and commanding all directions."
Wu
Xiao Ziwen is honest and obedient, very well-behaved, and he is still a little facial paralyzed. He doesn't ask for anything. It's really nice to have such a sensible young son.
But Qi Hou felt that it was still a bit bad, because the second brother said before that he wanted to treat Xiao Ziwen the best, Qi Hou was quite jealous, but Qi Hou told himself that the second brother was just acting on the spot, and he couldn't compete with a child to be jealous .
Later, the three of them lived in peace in the palace, but there was one thing that Qi Hou couldn't bear, that is, Xiao Ziwen was a child. For some reason, children were born with special energy. Woke up so early, often when Qi Hou wanted to do something at night, or when he got up early to do something, he would come over and knock on the door with "bang bang bang".
as if now...
When Qihou woke up in the morning, Wu Jiao was still curled up in his arms to sleep. Wu Jiao was afraid of the cold, and now it was midwinter, so Qihou's benefits were almost doubled. chest.
Qi Hou stretched out his hand to pinch Wu Jiao's hair, slowly persevering, Wu Jiao seemed to have woken up a little bit, his long eyelashes trembled, and slowly opened his eyes, he was very confused just after waking up, and he didn't have any focal length yet. , his eyelashes trembled several times, Qi Hou felt itchy.
With a smile on his face, Qi Hou leaned over and kissed Wu Jiu on the lips. Wu Jiao hadn't woken up yet, so his hysteria didn't show up, and he didn't hold his lips and look at him with disgust.
So Qi Hou was really flattered, hurriedly continued to ask for benefits, and continued to kiss Wu Jiu's lips, Wu Jiu was very obedient, he hugged Qi Hou's neck in a daze, showing a satisfied expression like a kitten.
Qi Hou was so teased by him, just when Qi Hou was about to eat Wu Jiao, he suddenly heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang!" knocking on the door outside, and Qi Hou was terrified.
Wu Jiu also woke up in an instant, and then under Qi Hou's gaze, he wiped his mouth in disgust, Qi Hou suddenly looked helpless, and said: "Leave him alone, sleep for a while, anyway, there is nothing to do these days."
Wu Jiu was pushed down by Marquis Qi, and the kid outside smashed the door, saying in a childish voice, "Daddy, Daddy..."
Accompanied by Xiao Ziwen's milky yell, and the constant voice behind him, he yelled "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo for" for eunuchs and maids were frightened by the milky yell of Xiaoziwen, after all, it was A huge great white wolf.
Hearing the screams outside, Wu Jiu quickly turned over and said, "I want to go out and have a look, Ziwen is outside."
Qi Hou felt that he was abandoned in an instant, so he had to get up and put on clothes with his second brother.
Xiao Ziwen was sitting on the back of the big white wolf, because he was only six years old, and because of malnutrition, he was small, and his stature was considered short among children of the same age. It was actually a bit difficult to ride on the back of the big white wolf. One leg was stretched apart as far as possible, and the little feet in the small shoes were placed on the big white back, shaking, because the big white wolf was always "having fun", so Xiao Ziwen had to grab a handful of the big white wolf's fur, and the big white wolf It doesn't feel any pain either, one person and one wolf are having fun outside the door, frightening the passers-by.
Wu Jiu opened the door with a "squeak" sound, and saw Xiao Ziwen sitting on the back of the white wolf, almost fell off by the jolt, and hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Ziwen.
When Xiao Ziwen was picked up, he immediately "giggled" and said sweetly, "Daddy."
The Great White Wolf also arched Wu Jiu's calf back and forth, because his body size can be said to be huge, so with such an arch, Wu Jiu almost fell down directly, but luckily Qihou was behind, and he reached out to catch it. Bundle.
Wu Jiu hugged Xiao Ziwen and said, "Ziwen, don't sit on Dabai's back."
When Qihou heard them talk about Dabai, he felt that he was not well. Why did he feel that Dabai was his brother? Otherwise, why would he be called Dabai and himself Xiaobai?
Xiao Ziwen tilted his head strangely, puffed out his fleshy cheeks, and said, "Daddy, why can't you sit on Dabai's back?"
Wu Jiu said: "Dabai ran too fast, he would throw you off, and Daddy would feel bad if he fell off, you know?"
Xiao Ziwen seemed to understand what he heard, so he nodded, put his short fleshy arms around Wu Jiu's neck, and said, "Ziwen said it."
When Xiao Ziwen said this, Qihou burst out laughing with a "poof". Xiaoziwen spoke in a childish voice, not with an accent, but his pronunciation was not quite standard. Qi Hou just drank a sip of tea and almost spit it out.
Seeing him laughing at his son's pronunciation, Wu Jiu gave Qihou a blank look, then sat on the mat by himself, put Xiao Ziwen in his arms, with a fatherly expression on his face, and said earnestly, "Come on Xiao Ziwen, talk to Daddy." Say, yes... I know."
Wu Jiu purposely pronounced the word knowing a little longer, so that Xiao Ziwen could hear his own pronunciation, Xiao Ziwen nodded, and said with a serious face, "Ji-dao."
As Xiao Ziwen said, his big bright eyes were still shining, and he looked at Wu Jiao sincerely. Wu Jiu was almost blinded by his sincere eyes, but in order to prevent the future prince of Chu from growling up, he would also talk cutely. With an accent, Wu Jiu still shook his head and said, "I know."
Xiao Ziwen tried his best to say: "Ji Dao."
Wu Jiu took a deep breath and said, "I know, I know."
Xiao Ziwen blinked his big eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Ji-dao, ji-dao."
"Hahaha……"
At this moment, Qihou next to him couldn't help it anymore, and immediately burst out laughing. The tea almost spilled on him, and quickly put the cup on the case. Seeing Qi Hou laughing out of breath, like the three idiots of the sledge, he also grinned, and yelled cheerfully "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Wu Jiu looked at Qihou and Dabai "having fun", while Xiao Ziwen had an expression of confusion, very sincere, very sincere, which made Wu Jiao really lose his mind.
Wu Jiu sighed, and said, "Forget it, Xiao Ziwen, let's get on with it, remember not to ride on Dabai's back."
Xiao Ziwen immediately jumped down from Wu Jiao's arms, waved to the big white wolf, and said, "Daddy, Ziwen has spoken!"
"puff……"
The boy Wen Mingming sincerely agreed, and Qi Hou laughed badly beside him, and almost fell to the ground, pressing his abdomen.
Xiao Ziwen looked puzzled, but he still led Dabai out of the house, and then went to play on his own.
Wu Jiu stared at Qi Hou who fell to the ground with a smile on his face, narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Jiu found an important problem."
Qi Hou almost burst into tears from laughter, quickly wiped it off, and said, "Second brother, what's the problem?"
Wu Jiao said indifferently: "Jiao finally understands where your abs come from because you eat so much every day and don't practice martial arts yet."
Qi Hou didn't react for a while, and said, "What? Where?"
Wu Jiu said, "I just laughed."
Qi Hou felt very cold for a moment, his second brother's jokes were really...
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi are fine these days. After all, they have driven out all the states of Lu and Guo. Although they have not been wiped out, this is still a big victory. At present, there is no one in Luoshi City who can threaten them, so Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi is very idle, just waiting for Ji Lang to prepare for the funeral, and the funeral will not be long, after the funeral, Ji Lang will ascend the throne.
The two of them had nothing to do, so they went out for a walk after breakfast, and there was some sporadic snowfall outside, Qi Hou put a cloak on Wu Jiao's back, and the two of them went out.
Xiao Ziwen and Dabai were playing in the garden, Dabai was sticking out his tongue, his head was up, his mouth was open wide, as if he was tasting the snow, Xiao Ziwen was staring at Dabai curiously, and raised his head Come get ready to try.
Wu Jiu rushed over to stop Xiao Ziwen, and taught him that snow is not edible, Qi Hou felt a headache when he saw it, but fortunately his son is already very big, so there is no need for people to worry about these mung bean-sized things.
However, Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu's troubled face teaching his children, and always felt that there was some regret in his heart, as if... the lack of treatment of children, which he would never be able to make up for, as if he had already started a new life. Once, still can not make up.
Xiao Ziwen said: "Daddy, the big brother is over there, and there is a big sister!"
Wu Jiao wondered what Ziwen said about the big brother, and it turned out that the big brother that Xiao Ziwen said was Wang Zizheng. When Wu Jiao heard it, he was free and free, and immediately burst into gossip, wondering who the big sister Xiao Ziwen was talking about?
Xiao Ziwen dragged Wu Jiu to watch them secretly, Qihou looked at them helplessly, and the big white wolf followed them, shaking his head and tail, so Qihou had no choice but to follow.
The three of them walked over with a wolf, and Xiao Ziwen led the way. They were in the small building narrated in the garden. The small building was like a pavilion, with holes on all sides, so you could clearly see the scene inside.
Sure enough, Wang Zizheng was in the small building, and there was really a "big sister" with him.
The woman was about 14 years old, young and pretty, with a very petite figure, only reaching Wang Zizheng's chest, and at first glance she seemed to be a perfect match.
The woman was wearing a maid's clothes, standing in the small building, and Prince Zheng was half-bent, or even half-kneeling in front of her, holding the hand of the court lady, not knowing what she was doing.
Wu Jiao leaned over curiously and took a look, it turned out that Prince Zheng was bandaging the wound on the maid's hand.
The maid's finger was injured, she looked like she was about to bleed, she was trembling with pain, just happened to be seen by the idle Prince Zheng, he had wound medicine on his body, it was given to him by Tangwu before, and asked to smear it on his abdomen The wound medicine I put on, but it was useless, so I kept it on my body. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Ever since he came back from the posthouse that day, Prince Zheng thought that Ji Lang still had feelings for him, saying that rights were more important than his son was actually Ji Lang's momentary words, but after returning, Ji Lang didn't say a word to Prince Zheng. Wang Zizheng suddenly felt that he might be thinking too much. He really didn't understand what his father, who had been with him day and night for nearly 20 years, was thinking and what he wanted.
Prince Zheng thought that the relationship between their father and son could be improved, and even get closer, but it didn't improve, let alone get closer. Now he can't see Ji Lang for a day, and every time he goes to the small bedroom, he is stopped by the eunuch , Said that Zhou Gong was very busy, busy with the funeral, Wang Zizheng felt that his father might hate him and didn't want to see him.
Prince Zheng came to the garden to relax, but he saw a few court ladies bullying a small and thin maid. There are many such bullying things in the palace, and Wang Zizheng lives in the palace, so it should be common, but the prince Zheng happened to be in a bad mood, so he rushed over to fight the injustice.
Those bullying maids were quickly scared away and didn't dare to stay at all. Wang Zizheng found that the hand of the bullied little maid had a big cut and was bleeding, so he touched his arms subconsciously. , there is a bottle of wound medicine there.
Tang Wu gave Prince Zheng this bottle of wound medicine before, and Ji Lang gave him the medicine for the first time. Gradually, Ji Lang was too busy, busy with his rights, busy with his political affairs, busy with his This bottle of medicine has never been used again, and Wang Zizheng himself is always forgetful, so he kept it all the time.
Now that Wang Zizheng took out the bottle of wound medicine, he felt a little emotional, so he just rubbed it on the little maid.
The little maid shivered from the pain, Wang Zizheng said: "It hurts a little, just bear with it, the bleeding will stop soon."
The little palace maid hurriedly knelt down to thank the prince, and said, "My servant, Wei Er, thank you very much, the prince!"
Seeing that she was about to kneel, Wang Zizheng quickly stopped her and said, "You don't need to kneel to me, it's just a little effort, just get up."
The two people over there held hands and knelt down, Wu Jiao watched with gusto, with a gossip look on his face, Marquis Qi was really helpless, he didn't know what Wu Jiao was looking at, what's so good about a court lady?
Xiao Ziwen looked at it for a while, but didn't see any gossip, so he squatted down to play with Dabai. Over there, Wang Zizheng gave medicine to the maid named Wei'er, and left soon, without any nostalgia.
Wu Jiu was watching the gossip, but all the gossip male protagonists left by themselves, so there was nothing to watch.
However, in the next few days, Wu Jiu often saw Wang Zizheng and the maid named Wei Er together. The little palace maid liked to laugh very much, she was a little shy and innocent when she laughed.
Wang Zizheng doesn't know why, but he likes to see her smile very much. When she smiles, it seems that there is nothing bothering her anymore, and Wei'er's smile is just like her previous self, innocent and fearless...
Every time Wang Zizheng sees Wei Er, he sighs very much, the old self has disappeared after all.
After going back and forth, Wu Jiu often saw Wang Zizheng and Wei Er together, and the signs of those two people became bigger and bigger, and became more and more obvious. Another time, Wang Zizheng and Wei Er almost kissed each other, but it was also the first time for Wang Zizheng, so it was just Ready to kiss on the cheek.
But at that time, Ziwen was riding on the big white wolf, and suddenly he came out from the grass, scaring Prince Zheng and Wei'er. Wei'er was very embarrassed and ran away.
Wu Jiao was even more embarrassed, and hurried to catch Xiao Ziwen, who was still stubborn with Dabai, and didn't know that he was disturbing others. What if it falls?"
Xiao Ziwen said with a pitiful face: "Ziwen is wrong, Ziwen will never dare again, Daddy, don't be angry."
Wu Jiu was helpless, he didn't know how Xiao Ziwen learned it, he pretended to be pitiful, he looked like Marquis Qi, those who didn't know thought that Marquis Qi was his own father.
Seeing how pitiful Xiao Ziwen was, Qihou also smiled and said, "My son likes riding and shooting. It's a good thing. I just teach him how to ride a horse some other day."
Wu Jiu couldn't help but feel unnatural when he heard Qi Hou calling his son so smoothly.
Prince Zheng was dating Wei Er, but Wu Jiao and Xiao Ziwen rushed out suddenly, and the date was ruined. Seeing Wu Jiao treat Xiao Ziwen so affectionately, even though he was not his own, Wang Zizheng couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. The biological ones are not treated as well as Ziwen's.
Prince Zheng sighed, turned his head and left.
Qi Hou took Xiao Ziwen to learn how to ride a horse. Wu Jiao was worried, so he just watched from the side. The big white wolf was also a follower, and he had to follow. But the big white wolf sat by and watched, frightening a group of horses. Like a wild horse, it kept barking, kicked, and trembled with fear, while Dabai watched the little master ride the horse with great interest.
Everyone made a fuss all morning, Qi Hou hugged Xiao Ziwen, really like a father and son, learning how to ride a horse was pretty good, but Xiao Ziwen's stomach let out a "grunt" sound, and he was already hungry. .
Qi Hou smiled, rubbed Xiao Ziwen's cheeks, and said, "My son is hungry."
Xiao Ziwen patted his belly and nodded, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou had no choice but to always call his son his son, seeing that Xiao Ziwen was hungry, he hurriedly asked someone to pass on the meal.
Qihou and Xiao Ziwen sat in a row, and Dabai was lying next to him. The two of them talked like a wolf while eating.
Qihou sighed and said: "The meals in King Zhou's palace are nothing more than this. They are not as delicious as the second brother's cooking."
Xiao Ziwen was holding a big piece of meat with bones, eating it with relish, his mouth was full of oil, he chewed hard with his mouth pouted, nodded in line with Qihou's words, and said sincerely: "Daddy did a good job!"
Dabai next to him was also snoring and eating his lunch, with a look of confusion on his face, but he cooperated with him by saying "Aoooooooooooooooo!" twice.
Seeing that they were eating what was on the plate and still thinking about what was in the pot, Wu Jiu said helplessly: "I have eaten lunch, even if I cook, I can only eat it at night."
Qihou's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will eat supper."
Qi Hou is not the only foodie nowadays, Xiao Ziwen also likes Wu Jiao’s meals, Wu Jiao is very helpless, after lunch, let Qi Hou take Xiao Ziwen to take a nap, and go to the dining room to see what can be used ready to make something delicious.
Wu Jiu looked at the big one and the small one, fell asleep immediately after eating, and the big white wolf lay next to him, also looking drowsy, thinking that he might have kept a group of foodies in captivity...
Wu Jiu came out of the house and went directly to the dining room. After entering the dining room, he heard the voice of a kitchen man laughing and said: "Miss Weier, thank you for coming to help us. We have too few people these days. It's a mess."
A woman's voice, a little timid, said with a smile: "It's not hard, the maid happens to have nothing to do, so I can come over."
Wu Jiao walked in, and saw Wei Er who was helping in the dining room at a glance, but he didn't expect Wei Er to be here.
Wei'er was wearing a palace lady's clothes, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing her arms like lotus roots, her fair skin was like fat, her cheeks were flushed from being busy, and she looked very charming.
Wei'er moved very quickly, helping out in the dining room, where it seemed that Ji Lang was preparing some afternoon food for Ji Lang, and then the ingredients for the evening, some of which needed to be processed in advance.
Wu Jiao walked in, because he was a frequent visitor to the dining room these days, and many cooks knew him, so they quickly saluted, and Wei Er hurriedly saluted respectfully, too timid to look at Wu Jiao.
Wu Jiao looked at Wei'er. If she was very pretty, Wei'er might be [-]:[-]. Especially that timid look was very distressing, especially able to arouse the desire to conquer and protect in men.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just go about your own business."
Because the chefs have some experience these days, so they went to work on their own. Wu Jiao walked in and looked around. In fact, he didn’t know what to do. After all, this is the palace, and the ingredients Wu Jiao wanted to use were very “ Side door", you can't find it in other people's fields, so you have to search for it, and make meals when you see any ingredients.
Wu corrected searching, and saw a few cooks digging out things in a large basin, and put the things they took out in a bowl aside, one of the cooks said, "Hey, come here, just pour this out." ,useless."
Wu Jiu looked around and saw a young cook holding up a big water basin, and when he lifted one end, he could see the contents clearly, it turned out to be a basin of snails.
Things like snails and snails were very low-end in ancient times. After all, these things look dirty, and the meat inside the hard shell is covered with sand, which is very difficult to handle. In the spring and autumn when seasoning is scarce, basically Can't handle things like snails.
Wu Jiu saw a basin of snails, probably they were caught while fishing for aquatic products, but now they are about to be thrown away.
Wu Jiao hurried over, stopped the cook, and said, "Don't throw it away, just give it to me."
The cook was taken aback. He didn't know what the King of Chu wanted these dirty things for, but he still handed them over to the King of Chu.
Wu Jiu hugged the water basin and put it next to him. This big basin looked quite fresh, so he couldn't help but rubbed his palms, thinking to himself that he could make snail noodles for Qihou and Xiao Ziwen. ate this thing.
Speaking of snail noodles, it is a very famous snack in modern times. People, whether rich or not, basically like the taste. Many white-collar workers who go to high-end places will eat a bowl of snail noodles at noon. Some snail noodles soup smells There will be a stinky smell, but like stinky tofu, it tastes extremely delicious, coupled with the unique hot and sour seasoning, accompanied by the chewiness of the rice noodles, the taste is fresh and refreshing, absolutely delicious.
Wu Jiao started to deal with those snails with a smile. There is no chili in this era, so spicy ones will not be so refreshing, but it just happens to be eaten by Xiao Ziwen. enough.
Wu Jiao soaked the snails and let the snails spit out the sand. At this time, he started to make rice noodles.
Rice noodles are not difficult to make, but it takes a little time. At this time, they can be eaten for dinner, so Wu Jiu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to speed up the action.
Wu Jiao was making rice noodles, and then went to wash the vegetables. He got some bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and vegetable leaves. He wanted to cut these side dishes into small pieces. He was making rice noodles and side dishes at the same time. .
At this time, Wei'er just finished helping, and when she saw Wu Jiao, she said timidly, "King Chu, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Wu Jiao glanced back, Wei Er was a little shy, standing behind him, Wu Correct was too busy, so he said: "Help me cut these into small pieces, thank you."
Wei'er hurriedly said in a low voice: "This is what a servant girl should do. How can I make the king of Chu thank you? It's really a shame for a servant girl."
As she spoke, she quickly rolled up her sleeves again, and then began to process the side dishes.
Wei'er doesn't talk much, and she always looks shy, but she works very quickly. She quickly washed the dishes and put them on the case. Dishes neatly arranged.
Wu Jiao heard the sound of "Duo duo duo duo...", the sound was very fast and the frequency was very high. When Wu Jiao turned his head in surprise, he saw that Wei Er hadn't chopped randomly. She was holding a kitchen knife, and those side dishes were cut The cuts are exactly the same size, and the small squares are neat and uniform, and they are quickly formed under Wei'er's knife.
Wu Jiu was a little surprised, looked up at Wei'er, then looked down at the side dishes on the case, and said with a smile, "Do you often cook?"
Wei'er said shyly: "My servant's family is very poor, and I have parents and a younger brother. Before entering the palace, Wei'er often cooks meals at home, so I know a little bit."
Wu Jiu nodded, still surprised by Wei Er's knife skills, her knife skills are very exquisite, it can be said that Wu Jiao has never had such exquisite knife skills in his whole life...
Wu Jiao narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, walked over at this moment, said with a smile: "Okay, it's fine to cut it like this, let's put it in a bowl."
"Yes, King Chu."
Wei'er quickly agreed, and put the diced vegetables in a bowl. At this moment, Wu Jiao came over and just touched the kitchen knife next to him. , Wei'er was startled, and suddenly made a mistake to the side, and heard a "bang!", and the kitchen knife fell directly to the ground.
Wu Jiu showed a surprised expression, and said: "How about it, I'm sorry, I was careless, are you injured, show me quickly!"
Wu Jiu stretched out his hand nervously to grab Wei Er's hand, Wei Er's hand was caught by him immediately, unable to struggle, and was touched by Wu Jiu "frivolously" twice, Wei Er's face immediately turned pale. Blushing, she said in a low voice, "King Chu, the servant girl is fine."
Wu Jiao stretched out his hand and wiped Wei'er's palm twice, then let go of Wei'er's hand, and said with a smile: "It's fine, it's fine."
Wei'er blushed, and said: "Let the King of Chu care, the servant girl is really terrified."
Wu Jiao shook his head, then turned his head to prepare his own snail noodles, but when he turned his head, he narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, he just touched Weier's hand, there was a callus in Weier's palm, and that The cocoon was not made by cooking with a kitchen knife, because it did not grow in the same place as the cocoon in Wu Jiao's palm.
The cocoon in Wei'er's palm grows in the same position as the cocoon in Qihou's palm...
Wu Jiao made the snail noodles, and it was almost dark. He walked back with the snail noodles and returned to the house. As soon as he entered, before he put down his things, he felt the wind on his back, and someone hugged him suddenly. stopped him.
Wu Jiu was taken aback by "Ho!", and almost threw all the snail powder out. Sure enough, he heard Qihou's voice saying, "Second brother, why have you been here for so long?"
Wu Jiu had no choice but to put down the plate of snail noodles and put it on the case. Qi Hou rushed over without seeing the food, but hugged Wu Jiao tightly and said, "I have heard about it. The house can tease the palace maids."
Wu Jiao said in surprise: "What? Molested the court lady?"
Qi Hou pulled Wu Jiu over, made him face him, squinted his eyes dangerously, bit the tip of Wu Jiu's nose lightly, and said, "Second brother, you still don't admit it? That maid named Wei'er, okay?" The great charm made Wang Zizheng lose his head, and now he has also fascinated Gu's second brother, second brother, Gu is so delicious."
Only then did Wu Jiu understand, and he felt rather helpless, why did Qi Hou know the news before he came back from the dining room?
Wu Jiu said, "How can Jiu moles a court lady?"
Qihou said: "Second brother still pretends not to admit it?"
Wu Jiu said helplessly: "When did Jiu play tricks? It's always been the king who played tricks."
Qihou put his arms around him and said, "Don't worry about Gu, does Second Brother not like to see Gu anymore?"
Wu Jiao almost rolled his eyes, lest Qi Hou say something that would make people get goosebumps, so he hurriedly said: "Jiao just thinks that there is something wrong with that maid named Wei'er."
Qihou said, "What's the problem?"
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "She's very good at knives, and she still has calluses on her palms. Jiu thinks that this Wei'er may not be simple, she seems to be good at martial arts."
Qi Hou was taken aback, the court ladies still know martial arts?Really unheard of.
However, while Qihou was surprised, he also breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Second brother is not empathizing, so I can rest assured. Just now, I almost lost my appetite and couldn't eat, but now I'm fine." "Second brother, what did you cook, it tastes so strange."
Qihou said, and immediately went to those bowls of snail noodles.
Wu Jiu was quite helpless. Could it be that only by empathizing with others can he stop Qi Hou Chi's footsteps?
Qihou walked over and lifted the lid, a strong smell rushed up to Qihou's nose, Qihou almost covered his nose for a moment, and said in surprise: "What smell? Why does it stink?"
There was no stinky tofu or durian in this era, so Qi Hou couldn't accept the stinky smell, so Wu Jiu just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you will know after you try it."
Qi Hou looked suspicious, but it was made by his second brother, and he went there all afternoon, so it must be delicious, even if it tasted bad, Qi Hou would eat it all.
Qi Hou immediately showed the expression of a strong man breaking his wrist, picked up the chopsticks, and set down the chopsticks in a dignified manner towards the bowl of snail noodles.
Baishengsheng rice noodles are very smooth and tender, and they are bouncy and will not be broken when pinched. They are very chewy and tough. The ingredients in the soup are also very rich. Bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms and some green vegetables look colorful. Spread a full surface.
Qihou picked up a chopstick of rice noodles, "huluhulu" and quickly put it into his mouth. He thought he would swallow the jujube whole, but as soon as he put it into his mouth, a umami taste rushed up. The soup was boiled all afternoon, so it was naturally delicious. , although it is snails, not seafood, but after Wu Jiao's taste, it is sour, spicy, and a little salty, and the taste is absolutely amazing.
Eating rice noodles, feeling the taste of snail noodles, I suddenly felt that the stinky smell has become absolute, and it is very refreshing after taking one bite. I can't stop after taking one bite, and I want to take a second bite immediately.
Qihou's eyes lit up obviously, and before he had time to say more, he immediately started to eat "snorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"; the feeling of rice noodles is different from that of noodles, smoother and smoother, and the entrance has the illusion of running directly into the throat.
While eating, Qihou said vaguely: "This... this rice noodles are delicious, just like the second brother, slippery."
Just as Qihou was talking, Xiao Ziwen came in with the big white wolf, and said with a puzzled look, "Daddy, what's so slippery?"
Wu Jiu was almost pissed off by Marquis Qi, and the children heard his words, Marquis Qi said wittily immediately: "The rice noodles are slippery, come here, son, it's time for dinner."
At the beginning, when Qi Hou called Xiao Ziwen's son, Xiao Ziwen would correct Qi Hou very honestly, but later Qi Hou called him a lot, and Xiao Ziwen listened to him, so he didn't care anymore.
Now that Marquis Qi calls it that, Xiao Ziwen has already rushed over, without any sense of disobedience.
Xiao Ziwen ran over, he was stubbornly tired, and just wanted to eat, Qi Hou carried him over and asked Xiao Ziwen to eat snail noodles, one big and one small immediately ate it, it looked very delicious.
Wu Jiu also sat down and ate his share, while Xiao Ziwen ate the snail noodles, while Big White Wolf rolled around coquettishly, as if he wanted to taste the snail noodles, his saliva almost dripped on the mat.
Xiao Ziwen grabbed a piece of rice noodles and threw it to the big white wolf. The big white wolf ate it in one bite.
Xiao Ziwen ate half of the snail noodles, Qihou saw that he was full and his belly was swollen, so he started to feed Dabai with snail noodles, and his heart was so distressed that his liver burst, and he hurriedly said: "Son, you are full , just give this to me?"
Xiao Ziwen tilted his head, but he really couldn't eat it anymore, his father taught him not to waste, so he sincerely pushed it to Qihou.
Wu Jiao saw that Qi Hou was robbing the children for something to eat, and he was very helpless. Qi Hou hurriedly brought over the bowl of snail noodles, for fear that Xiao Ziwen would repent. Although Xiao Ziwen did not repent, the big white wolf quit. The little master was feeding him, but suddenly there was nothing to eat. The big white wolf immediately yelled "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and circled around Qihou Da with an anxious look on his face. It's still Dabai, there is no majesty at all...
After Qihou ate a bowl and a half of snail rice noodles, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he drank all the soup, and then he was a little satisfied, Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched.
Wu Jiu felt that after adopting his adopted son, Xiao Ziwen did not act like a baby, but Qi Hou liked to act like a baby, as if he was fighting for favor with his son, which made him very distressed, but somehow it was beneficial.
After a few days of such a leisurely life, an eunuch came over and said that the Duke of Zhou invited them to a banquet in the small bedroom, and it will be a funeral in a few days, so he wanted to hold a banquet for them, just to discuss the sign of the funeral .
The funeral is approaching, and Wu Jiu figured that it was time for Ji Lang to discuss with them these few days. After all, although Ji Lang is a direct nobleman of the Zhou Kingdom, there are still many people who are eyeing him, but he is not as powerful. Someone is making trouble, so a surefire plan must be thought of.
Wu Jiu and Qihou handed Xiao Ziwen over to Ziqing and Tang Wu to take care of them, and left the house to prepare for the banquet.
It was already dusk, the two of them walked into the small bedroom, there was already an eunuch waiting, and he respectfully led them in, the inside was very lively, the maids and eunuchs filed in, setting up the banquet, it seemed that Ji Lang had spent a lot of money Son, the table is full of delicacies, all kinds of delicacies and wines.
Ji Lang is already here, wearing a very formal black court robe, without a crown, and tied her hair with a black jade crown. Instead of pulling all her hair back as usual, part of it is let down, which looks softer up.
When Ji Lang saw them coming, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It's Lang's good fortune that the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi appreciate you."
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou also bowed their hands, and Wu Jiu said, "Duke Zhou is too polite."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "Please sit down, please sit down, both of you."
While they were talking, another person walked in from outside, and it was Wang Zizheng. There were four seats in today's banquet, besides Ji Lang, Wu Jiu and Qihou, there was one more person, that must be Wang Zizheng.
After all, they are all "insiders".
Prince Zheng walked in and saw Ji Lang who was smiling, but Ji Lang met his eyes and immediately restrained her smile.
Prince Zheng bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Father."
Ji Lang just said lightly, "Sit down."
Prince Zheng bowed his hands again, and then he entered the seat and sat next to him as a companion.
When everyone got into their seats, Ji Lang said with a smile: "Today, the banquet held by Lang is to thank the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi for their great help these days. Without the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi, I am afraid that Lang would not be able to reach Luoshi City. Not to mention sitting in this small dormitory and commanding all directions."
