There were only a bunch of candied haws left in the bag, and three slices of hawthorn, and suddenly thought of Qi Hou.

If you make something by yourself and share it with others, if you don't pay tribute to the Marquis of Qi, you are afraid that people will say that you are disrespectful.

So Wu Jiao packed the remaining bunch of candied haws and three slices of hawthorn, and accidentally broke one of the slices of hawthorn when packing, so Wu Jiao had to eat it by himself, taking the remaining two slices of hawthorn and A bunch of candied haws was handed over to the eunuch, and the eunuch asked the eunuch to present it to Marquis Qi.

Although Qihou was in the room, he had heard about it a long time ago. Wu Jiu went to the dining room again, and he had a heated fight with the cooks. He had no pretensions at all. He cooked the meal together and made "candied haws" which is inexplicable. s things.

Qihou was still thinking, what is the way to eat the gourd dipped in sugar?Beng Beng crisp?

Qihou waited for a whole day and got impatient. Then the eunuch brought the candied haws made by Wu Jiu himself. After a closer look, it turned out that they were not gourds, but hawthorns. The small red fruits were round and bright red, very cute. .

Qihou is a standard taste of northerners. Zongzi eats sweet but not salty, but vegetables eat salty but not sweet. Actually Qihou doesn't like this kind of sweet little thing, but it still has a bit sour taste, which is very delicious. Appetizer, I ate one and felt sour, just let go of the taste, and felt very enjoyable, I wanted to try again, I ate a bunch of them in a row, but I still couldn't get enough.

So Qi Hou picked up the hawthorn slices and tasted them again. It was not at all the same as the layered texture of candied haws. Hawthorn slices are mixed with hawthorn puree and syrup, and then baked into shapes. One bite, crispy Crisp and crunchy, the taste is sour and sweet, the sweet is covered with sour, the sweet and sour are balanced together, the sweetness is indescribable but not greasy.

They were all hawthorn and honey, which turned out to be two different tastes. Qihou was surprised and ate two slices of hawthorn, still unsatisfied.

The eunuch saw that Marquis Qi had finished eating, so he went back to report. Wu Jiao said, "Have you eaten, Your Majesty? Do you like it?"

The eunuch said with a smile: "Eat, eat, your majesty specially likes these made by young master, and there is not a single bit of food left."

Wu Jiu didn't expect that Marquis Qi could eat sour taste?

After Wu Jiu ate hawthorn, he felt that he couldn't do it before dinner, so he went to the dining room in the afternoon. The cook was preparing dinner at that time, so he didn't have time to study new ingredients with Wu Jiu now.

Wu Jiu took up a small stove by himself. After thinking about it, he planned to make something that could be eaten in one bite when he was hungry, and easy to hold, so he planned to make a small sweet bun, such as a bean paste bun, quicksand bun, etc. snacks.

However, flour is not popular these days, because there is no stone mill, and flour milling is a technical job, and it is also a very tiring job.

Wu Jiao had nothing to do anyway, and he didn't want to lie on the couch all the time, so he rolled up his arms and sleeves in the dining room to grind the flour, and prepared the flour, and the other ingredients didn't have to be as laborious as grinding flour.

Because there is no stone mill these days, Wu Jiao’s milling flour was watched by cooks. They didn’t know what he was doing. Wu Jiao felt that this was too troublesome, and the stone mill was actually not a difficult design, so he designed it. Ask someone to get a piece of sheepskin, draw a picture on the sheepskin, draw a schematic diagram of a stone mill, let the cook prepare it, and they can use it in the future, and then make pasta, there is no need to do this Bitter ha ha.

The chefs had never seen a stone mill before, and they were amazed when they saw it. They all praised Wu Jiu as a genius. He was really too smart. If he had this kind of thing, he would be able to make pasta without any labor and material resources in the future.

Wu Jiao got the flour, found the stuffing, and started peeling the buns. After making a few wraps, he suddenly thought of the cute little Dier, so he modified the buns and made them into little pigs and rabbits. In the shape of the rice cake, beans of various colors are pressed on it as eyes and noses, and steamed in a pot.

After Wu Jiao finished his busy work, it happened to be time for dinner, he was so hungry that his chest was on his back, and he was ready to go back for dinner.

As soon as he returned, the eunuch and Ziqing came up to meet him, and quickly said, "My lord, your majesty invites you to have dinner in the front hall."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he even invited himself to have a meal, but after thinking about it carefully, it might be because of the imminent departure, the dining room was also very busy just now, maybe the Yong family was going to throw a banquet for the Marquis of Qi. see off.

Wu Jiu hurriedly changed his clothes, and then walked towards the front hall. When he entered the front hall, everyone else had already arrived, sitting on the table, waiting for him alone.

Wu Jiu entered the front hall, hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Jiu pays homage to Your Majesty."

Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second brother, you don't need to be too polite. Come to the table."

Wu Jiu raised his head and walked into the banquet, he found that the banquet was indeed set by the Yong family, because there was also a Yong family at the banquet, and everyone was sitting.

As soon as Wu Jiu came, Marquis Qi ordered the banquet to be held. Yong's servants filed in from outside one by one carrying bronze utensils, and brought in a bunch of delicacies. Yi Ya also followed in the team, holding a The large bronze plate in the round sky was carefully placed on the table.

Before taking off the round lid, Wu Jiu already smelled a fresh fragrance, which is very tempting and overbearing. The first thing he smelled was the fragrance of mutton, which is a good time to eat mutton for warming in autumn.

Everyone also smelled the smell of the mutton, but when Yi Ya lifted the cover, what everyone saw was a fish.

Everyone was amazed, it was obviously a fish, and it was a whole fish, but what they smelled was the mellow aroma of mutton, without the smell of fish, nor the smell of mutton.

Everyone is wondering, Wu Jiu seems to have expected this a long time ago, after all, the founder of this classic dish of hidden mutton in fish belly is Yi Ya, the originator of the meal in front of him.

The ancients used fish and sheep to represent freshness. In fact, this famous dish originated from Yi Ya. Shandong aquatic products have carp that is delicious and tender, and mutton that is salty and fragrant. , the combination of the two delicacies, the taste is naturally needless to say.

Wu Jiu immediately picked up the chopsticks and poked the fish gently, and sure enough there was fresh and tender mutton hidden under the belly of the fish, as soon as he peeled off the belly of the fish, the smell of the mutton came out even more.

The fish meat is fresh and tender, with bamboo shoots and mushrooms inside. It is tender, crispy, fresh and fragrant. I am afraid this is the most authentic Tibetan lamb with fish belly.

Wu Jiu picked it up and took a bite, then quickly took another bite of the mutton inside. He squinted his eyes and seemed to enjoy it, and said with a smile, "You used fruit wine to get rid of the fishy smell?"

Yi Ya smiled and said, "Master is smart, you can tell when you taste it, the fruit wine is sweet and delicious, it can remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness."

Qi Hou saw that Wu Jiu was happy to eat, so he couldn't help trying to taste it. The mutton has no smell at all, and the fish has no fishy smell at all. It is both tender and crispy. It is really salty and fragrant, and it has an authentic Lu cuisine taste, which Qi Hou likes. savory taste.

Wu Jiu liked to eat, and Qi Hou also felt that although it was not his wish to bring Yi Ya, but fortunately, it was not completely useless, at least he could eat some good dishes along the way.

Everyone ate a meal, and they couldn't help pushing their glasses. Wu Jiu's typhoid fever hadn't healed, so he didn't dare to drink. He was still drinking, so he got up and said goodbye.

Qihou thought he was tired, so he said, "Second brother, rest early."

Wu Jiu thanked Marquis Qi for his concern, and left the front hall, but instead of going back to rest, he went to the dining room, Ziqing followed Wu Jiao for a while, and sure enough, he saw that Wu Jiao was still thinking about his little sweet buns.

Wu Jiao went into the dining room, but there was no one there, so he made a fire by himself, heated up the sweet buns, and then took some to take back. steamed stuffed bun.

Wu Jiu came out of the dining room quickly, and Ziqing carried a basket of sweet buns that had just been put out of the drawer, and covered them with a veil to prevent them from getting cold.

The two of them walked to the yard, and they saw Xiao Di'er, because the people of the Yong family were entertaining Qihou, so there was no one around Xiao Di'er, and he was alone, sitting in the garden with a sullen look on his face, shaking his hands. I don't know what I'm thinking with my two little meaty legs supporting my cheeks.

When Wu Jiu saw Xiaodi'er's fleshy cheeks, he lost all resistance and immediately walked over, saying, "Why are you staying here alone?"

Seeing Wu Jiao, Xiao Di'er immediately opened her eyes wide, and immediately remembered, and said in a childish voice, "Uncle Tanghulu!"

Wu Jiu: "..." This name is a bit rough and simple, it's really indecent...

Wu Jiao walked over, sat next to Xiao Di'er, and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

Little Di'er shook his head and said: "Not yet, Daddy is busy and will come back later, Dier is waiting for Daddy to eat together."

Wu Jiu pinched his soft little cheek and said, "Di'er is so good, are you hungry?"

Xiao Di'er nodded this time with her mouth pouted, touched her belly, and said, "Hungry..."

Wu Jiu asked Ziqing to take out the small basket, and took out the cute little sweet buns from it. The little pig’s was red bean paste buns, and the little rabbit’s was custard buns. It was the first time Xiao Di’er saw such cute and fancy buns. Can't help opening my eyes wide for the dim sum. I couldn't bear to eat it. I reached out and touched the rabbit's little ears, and then touched the little pig's little ears, and said, "It's so pretty."

Wu Jiu said, "Try it, how does it taste?"

Xiao Dier hesitated again and again until Wu Jiao said that there were still many more, then took a bite of the sweet bun, and suddenly opened her round eyes into ovals, with sweet buns in her mouth, and said vaguely in surprise: "Hohoo times...so many times...sweet!"

Seeing that he was happy to eat, Wu Jiao made him a small sweet bun and blew it cool for him so as not to burn Xiao Di'er.

Xiao Di'er ate three small buns in a row, and she was no longer hungry, so she showed a sad expression again.

Seeing him worrying, Wu Jiao frowned, looking very funny, and said, "What's the matter, why is Xiao Di'er unhappy?"

Little Di'er said sullenly, "Di'er will be separated from Daddy in two days... Di'er doesn't like being separated from Daddy."

Wu Jiao asked carefully, and it turned out that it was because he said he would not let Yi Ya take Di'er on the road together, so Gongsun Xipeng planned to take Di'er back to Linzi City, his residence.

When Wu Jiu heard this, his eyes rolled several times. Gongsun Xipeng wanted to pick up Di'er?Gongsun Xipeng took Di'er with him, and Wu Jiao was definitely not afraid of cooking, but it was so strange, did Gongsun Xipeng also like children, so he wanted to take Di'er away?

I heard little Di'er say: "Daddy is very kind to Dier, and Dier doesn't want to be separated from Daddy, but Dier will go to a very far place tomorrow, and I won't be able to see Daddy."

Wu Jiu listened to his childish voice, and saw him blinking his big eyes while talking, the long eyelashes were wet, and he was afraid that he would cry.

Wu Jiu was not afraid of others being unreasonable, but he was afraid of Xiao Di'er's grievance, and his heart softened. Logically speaking, Di'er likes Yi Ya so much, Yi Ya should not have the heart to cook him, but history is so black and white. Written, even if it is really an exaggerated description by later generations, Wu Jiu would not dare to take the risk.

At this moment, Wu Jiao saw a man in dark red clothes, holding a candle lamp, hurried over, and took a closer look, it turned out to be Yi Ya.

There was sweat on Yi Ya's forehead, and he seemed to be walking in a hurry. Seeing Di'er heaved a sigh of relief, and seeing Wu Jiu again, he quickly saluted and said, "My lord, Wu Youli."

Wu Jiao waved his hand, and when Di'er saw Yi Ya, he ran over quickly, rushed over with a "da da da", hugged Yi Ya's calf, and said, "Daddy, that uncle is doing well, uncle give Di'er a second Sweet little bag smash!"

Yi Ya quickly picked up Di'er and said, "Be good, Di'er, that's not an uncle, he's called you son."

Di'er didn't understand, she tilted her head, and said in a childish voice, "Master."

Wu Jiuyue liked Di'er the more he liked him, and he couldn't bear to send him to the strange city of Linzi. Although the Da Sixing's mansion certainly had everything to eat and drink, and rich clothes and fine food were indispensable, Di'er was still young. It is the age of relying on relatives.

Wu Jiu had no intention of leaving, so he sat down and said with a smile, "Di'er and I hit it off, so we don't need to be called son, since we're too strangers, we can just call him uncle."

In fact, Wu Jiu wanted to put some pressure on Yi Ya. Seeing that he liked Di'er so much, Yi Ya didn't dare to do anything.

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Sit down, there is no need to be formal, and there is no one else here, so let's chat casually."

Yi Ya didn't dare to sit down, and stood at the side with Di'er in his arms. The two of them started talking about Di'er.

Di'er is Yi Ya's youngest son who brought him back to Yong's mansion. He doesn't know who his mother is, because Yi Ya is originally a bastard, and Di'er is the bastard's bastard. People in the Yong family admit that he is not considered a young master.

Yi Ya put Di'er down and said, "Hey, Di'er, go over there and play around for a while, pick two flowers, and give them to Young Master as a gift of thanks, okay?"

As soon as Di'er heard this, she slipped out of Yi Ya's arms and said, "Okay!"

He said, "Da Da Da" and ran away, like a little boy.

Wu Jiu could tell that Yi Ya sent Di'er away on purpose, as if he wanted to say something he didn't want Di'er to hear.

As expected, Yi Ya laughed softly, and said flatly: "Actually, I will tell you the truth, my lord, Wu is not married yet, so naturally it is impossible to have any sons."

Wu Jiao was a little surprised and said, "Isn't Di'er your son?"

Yi Ya nodded and said, "Di'er was the son of a friend when Wu was far away. At that time, the Bai Di people plundered the frontier. Wu was almost killed and was rescued by the Qi army who was besieging Bai Di's army at that time. But that friend, Passed away unfortunately. Wu Chang heard from friends that he had a son who was born at a young age. After fleeing, he went to find the child. He came to tell his family and friends the news of his death. On the other hand, he also wanted to express his heart ...But I didn't expect..."

Yi Ya paused, and then said, but unexpectedly, when he found that family, because the border was attacked by the Baidi people, and the harvest was not good, so the family had already fled, and the children who could not support were thrown in the ruins. in the house.

The neighbors in the village would usually feed the child leftovers, but life is not easy these days, and no one wants to raise another child, who is someone else's son.

When Yi Ya arrived, he saw little Di'er. He didn't know Di'er's name, because there was a piece of Di'er there, which left a deep impression on people, so Yi Ya called him Di'er.

Di'er was in the broken house, the house was rotten, and there were leftovers inside. Di'er just sat in the stinky broken house, playing with her fingers, neither crying nor making noise.

Yi Ya couldn't bear it at the time, so he took the child with him, and he said with a smile, "Wu is originally a bastard, if I bring another child of unknown origin into the house, I'm afraid I'll be rejected by the eldest mother. He may have married some kind of wife, so he lied that Di'er was the son of a witch, although the eldest mother is fierce, she dared not tell Di'er to go out."

Wu Jiao was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Di'er was not Yi Ya's own son.

Yi Ya said again: "Di'er doesn't have any serious name, but my friend is the Bin family, and the witch gave Di'er a name of Xu Wu."

Xu means everything. The name Yi Ya gave to Di'er seems to be very suitable for Di'er's life experience. Xu Wu, Di'er has nothing at all.

However, when Wu Jiu heard Di'er's name, he almost jumped up in a flash, Wu Jiu had never been so calm before.

Because Di'er's serious name should be - Bin Xuwu!

Who is Bin Xuwu?One of the Five Heroes under Duke Huan of Qi, together with Dong Guoya, Gongsun Xipeng, Ning Qi, and Prince Chengfu, he was also called the Five Heroes. After 20 years, he was worshiped by Duke Huan of Qi as the chief minister of Shangqing, and he was in charge of the punishment of the state of Qi. He is upright, speaks out and dares to advise.

There is also a short story about Bin Xuwu that can highlight his character. It is recorded in "Guanzi" that after Duke Huan of Qi became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, he asked Guan Yiwu if he could not only be the overlord, but the overlord.

Hegemony and being king are two different concepts. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, only the Chu State, which was in a remote place and was regarded as a barbarian by other countries, could stand on its own as king and stand against Zhou Tianzi.

At that time, although Marquis Qi was already very powerful, he still didn't dare to become king. After hearing this, Guan Yiwu said that he didn't know about it and needed to ask Bin Xuwu.

Bin Xuwu's answer was, I heard that Yao and Shun in ancient times were all wiser than their subjects, so they could become kings, but now the hegemony of the Marquis of Qi depends on their subjects, so they cannot be called kings.

In Qi State, no matter Bao Shuya, who shared weal and woe, or Guan Yiwu, the prime minister, no one dared to speak so bluntly with Qihou. Dong Guoya, the minister of advice, is famous for his eloquence and eloquence, and the other is Bin Xu, who is upright and upright in charge of the law as a big manager.

Wu Jiao was stunned for a moment when he heard Di'er's name, and then saw Xiao Di'er running over quickly holding a small chrysanthemum, and said in a childish voice: "Uncle, Here you go! Little Fafa!"

Wu Jiao looked at the three-year-old Xiaodoubao, who was round and cute, with pink and tender lips, and a little chubby, with a baby voice and cuteness, which he never expected, This turned out to be the famous Bin Xuwu!

Yi Ya's "son" is Bin Xuwu. I don't know if he will have other sons in the future. Anyway, when Wu Jiu heard this child's name, he knew that he would definitely not be cooked. No one can do the position of post-general manager.

Wu Jiao stared at the little bun, Xiao Di'er held the flower up high, boldly, lightly patted Wu Jiao's calf with his little meaty hand, shook it coquettishly, and said, "Uncle!"

Wu Jiu quickly regained his senses, took the "Xiao Fafa" handed over by Xiao Di'er, and said with a smile, "Di'er is so good."

Xiao Di'er also proudly puffed out her small chest, and was very proud of being praised.

Wu Jiao thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Di'er, do you want a adoptive father?"

Wu Jiu's expression seemed to be that of a "human trafficker", and he handed Xiao Di'er a little rabbit's custard bag, and Xiao Di'er quickly took the custard bag and put it in his mouth, "What? What?" kissed twice, blinked his big eyes, and said with a puzzled look: "Uncle, what is a foster father?"

As soon as Wu Jiao's words came out, Ziqing who was next to him was startled, and even Yi Ya was also startled, looking at Wu Jiu in surprise.

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "I hit it off with Di'er, and I like him when I see him. I heard that Di'er will be taken to Linzi City by the chief executive. If Di'er worships me as a foster father, I can go there." Let me tell you before your majesty, take Di'er on the road, as Di'er is such an obedient child, she will definitely not make trouble."

Yi Ya was even more surprised, and immediately said: "Young Master loves to see Di'er, it's Di'er's blessing."

As he spoke, he quickly said to Di'er, "Di'er, pay homage to foster father."

Xiao Di'er was still confused, so Wu Jiu squatted down, leveled with Xiao Di'er, touched his soft little hair with a smile, and said, "The adoptive father just feeds you delicious food every day, and coaxes you to be stubborn every day. What does Xiao Dier think of the people who accompany us Xiao Dier?"

When Xiao Di'er heard this, her eyes widened in joy, and she immediately called out sweetly, "Father."

Wu Jiao thought to himself, since he happened to have no children, it would be good to bring Di'er with him. Firstly, Di'er is really cute, likable, and obedient; Huan Gong's important minister, with Di'er by his side, can also find a backer for himself, what if one day Qi Hou gets into trouble and punishes himself.

Thirdly, it’s also for Di’er. I don’t know if what’s going on today is due to the deviation in history itself, because of the embellishment of later generations, or because of the bias in history. Di’er turned out to be the invincible Bin Xuwu 20 years later, but To be on the safe side, as an insurance policy, Wu Jiu still planned to accept him as his adoptive son, since he was a young master after all, Yi Ya couldn't possibly lay hands on the young master's adopted son.

Wu Jiu suddenly felt that this was a good way to kill three birds with one stone, and Di'er also liked him, so the journey would not be boring in the future, and he could pinch Di'er's little cheeks from time to time to relieve boredom.

Xiao Di'er really likes Wu Jiao very much, because Wu Jiao can make candied haws and hawthorn slices, and can make sweet buns for little rabbits. He speaks softly, always smiles, and is very kind to himself.

Xiao Di'er grabbed Wu Jiu and refused to let Wu Jiu leave, and wanted Wu Jiu to accompany him, but Yi Ya couldn't help it, so Wu Jiu picked up Xiao Di'er and said with a smile, "Good boy, let's talk to foster father today. Go to sleep, okay?"

Xiao Di'er immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! I want foster father!"

Ziqing already looked helpless, the young master's appearance was clearly the appearance of abducting a child, and he looked attentive.

In the end, Yi Ya handed Di'er over to Wu Jiu, and then left by himself. Wu Jiu stretched out his arms to hold Xiao Di'er. He had no experience in holding children, and he was still a three-year-old child. Even though he was small, it was heavy to hold. Yes, especially pressing hands, Xiao Di'er's body is full of small fleshy meat, which is quite deep hidden.

Wu Jiu hugged Xiao Di'er and walked for a while, Ziqing quickly said: "My lord, let Ziqing hold him, be careful, don't drop the child."

Wu Jiao was sweating, and said out of breath from exhaustion, "It's all right."

Xiao Di'er is also really good, Wu Jiao hugged him crookedly, almost sandwiched, but he didn't make a fuss at all, honestly holding a small sweet bun, with a smile all over his face.

Wu Jiu said as he walked, "My dear son, let's go back and drink some sugar water, shall we?"

Xiao Di'er asked curiously, "Father, what is sugar water?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's sweet and delicious."

Wu Jiao carried Di'er to his room and met Zhao Hu and Dong Guoya on the way. Zhao Hu didn't know Di'er and had never met him before. He suddenly saw Wu Jiao holding a three-year-old baby and was surprised. He said, "My lord, whose child is this?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's my son."

Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, his face was full of unnaturalness for a moment, because it was dark, Wu Jiao didn't notice it, he was busy going back to get some sugar water for Xiao Di'er, and left quickly.

The hurt Zhaohu went to Dong Guoya for a drink with a look of despair...

Wu Jiao went back with Di'er in his arms, made a pot of fruit tea for him with hot water, specially added some honey, the little Di'er liked to drink it very much, so he ate sweet buns with the fruit tea, Wu Jiao knew he hadn't eaten yet Seriously, I asked Ziqing to serve some more dishes.

They ate and took a bath again, and finally Wu Jiu hugged Xiao Di'er and fell asleep on the couch, telling him a bedtime story, the two of them were tired from talking, and fell asleep head to head.

Early the next morning, Marquis Qi heard the report from the eunuch. At this time, Marquis Qi was fully dressed and was sitting in front of the couch, preparing to have breakfast, when the eunuch said: "Your Majesty, last night, my son Received a foster son."

Before Qihou put the porridge to his mouth, he paused, put down his small dagger, and said in a little surprise, "Yizi?"

The eunuch said: "It's like this, Your Majesty, after dinner yesterday, the young master met Di'er, the son of Yong Wu, in the garden. Because the young master likes Di'er for tricks, he adopted Di'er as his adopted son."

One breath on the top...

Qihou didn't need to eat this breakfast. Although Qihou was reborn and had experienced it once in his previous life, he didn't know that Di'er was named Bin Xuwu, so he thought it was Yi Yapanzi's child. Why, that person named Di'er is Yi Ya's son.

Yi Ya is the enemy of Marquis Qi. Back then, Marquis Qi trusted him so much, but Yi Ya acted against others and even helped the son to usurp the throne and kill the king.

As a result, early in the morning, Marquis Qi heard that Wu Jiu had adopted the son of his enemy as a foster son. Qi Hou was so angry that he couldn't eat a mouthful of food, so he immediately asked someone to bring his outer robe, put it on and put it on. go out.

When Marquis Qi came to Wu Jiu's gate, Ziqing sat on the steps. When he saw Marquis Qi approaching, he rushed up to meet him, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, you haven't woken up early yet."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi said, "Master Jiu is sick again?"

Ziqing said: "Back to your majesty, the young master is in good health and is not ill, but...it's just that last night, the young master and Di'er were a little late, so...so you haven't got up yet, please wait a moment, my lord." After a while, Ziqing went to ask Young Master to get up."

Qihou heard it again, it was that child again, and Qihou was almost pissed off.

At this moment, with a "squeak", the door of Wu Jiu's room opened, and a small bean bag popped out with a "da da da", holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, rushing out quickly, "Boom!" !" It happened to bump into Qihou's calf, and it was Di'er.

Di'er was a little stunned, and almost sat on a small buttock. Qihou reached out to grab it, and Di'er hugged his calf, raised his head, and looked up at the tall uncle.

Di'er didn't understand that Marquis Qi was the king of the country, so he looked at Marquis Qi with big eyes and held up a candied haws, saying, "Uncle, how about candied haws?"

uncle……

Although Wu Jiu was not much older than himself, he was indeed older. Wu Jiu adopted Di Er as his adopted son, but Di Er called him uncle, and Qi Hou was so angry that his head went numb again. Could it be that he looks so old?

Seeing Di'er rushing out, Ziqing quickly pulled Di'er off Qihou's body and said, "Your Majesty, Di'er has no intention of colliding."

He said, and said to Di'er: "Di'er, this is the king, you have to salute, you can't yell."

Di'er seemed to understand but half understood, so she asked Ziqing to kneel down and apologize.

Qihou couldn't be serious with a child, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll go back first."

He said and left, Ziqing heaved a sigh of relief, and soon heard Wu Jiu's voice calling him, Wu Jiu didn't know that Qi Hou came around and left again, and took Yi Ya's favor from him There are quite some objections to the fact that a son is a foster son.

Because Wu Jiu adopted Di'er as a foster son, Gongsun Xipeng didn't need to send Di'er to Linzi City. Di'er followed Wu Jiao from then on, like a little tail, following wherever he went. Hou also saw several times, no less than five times, Wu Jiu and Di'er kissing each other's cheeks, getting tired of it.

Soon the team was about to set off. They had been delayed in Liangqiu for a long time, and they had to speed up their journey afterwards. The team added various supplies in Liangqiu and was ready to set off.

The difference this time is that Yi Ya and Di'er were added. As a cook, Yi Ya naturally followed the team at the end, but Di'er was different. Di'er was still young, and he absolutely couldn't bear to follow the team, so Wu Jiu intends to carry Di'er into the car.

But for a long time, Qihou has always been in the same car with Wu Jiu, Qihou naturally didn't want Di'er to get in the car, but if he said that, it was obviously narrow-minded, treating a child harshly is really not a gentleman's style, So I had to give up.

Wu Jiu carried Di'er into the car, Di'er was honest, and he seemed to like Qihou very much, although Qihou was cold and tall, but Di'er liked Qihou, and he was not afraid of life when he saw Qihou , and took the initiative to talk to Qihou, and raised his little meat hand to ask his uncle if he got something delicious.

Qi Hou endured so much that he almost got hurt internally, and called himself uncle every time, even if he wasn't called a monarch, he should still be called uncle.

Although Di'er is a child, she seems to be in much better physical condition than Wu Jiu. She is also very sensible along the way and will take care of Wu Jiu. When she saw her adoptive father getting motion sickness, she even patted her little meaty leg and said righteously: "The adoptive father lies on Di'er's lap, and Di'er pats the adoptive father to sleep!"

Qihou looked at Dier's two little meaty legs like lotus root joints very disdainfully, they were not enough to lie down on, but Wu Jiu especially liked Dier's understanding and considerate, he must be a gentle and warm boy when he grows up, and he praised him Dier.

For some reason, Qi Hou felt a little sour in his heart, as if he had eaten a few bunches of candied haws that were not coated with sugar. If he ate too much, he would feel sore in his stomach.

The journey was very boring. Earlier, we could settle down in Xiaoyi to replenish supplies, and then it became more and more desolate. When we reached Shishui on the Qilu border, Qihou opened the curtain of his car and took a look outside. When the water was flowing, he laughed lowly and said, "Second Brother, do you still remember this place?"

Wu Jiu didn't know what Qi Hou meant, he just replied, "Naturally I remember."

Qihou laughed again, remembering something, as if he was recalling the ease of conquest, after all, at the bank of time, Qihou personally accepted the surrender of Wu Jiu.

After crossing the water, it is the border of the State of Lu. Although it has not yet reached the border of the State of Lu, from a distance from here, one can see the welcoming team of people, and the flag of the State of Lu unfurling in the wind.

Wu Jiu squinted his eyes and looked over from a distance. The crowd of people seemed to be a formation of war formations, not like a guard of honor at all, and the big flag waving in the wind was like a battle flag. The flags are ordinary and far away, but the large characters on the flag are clear and dazzling, with only one word - Meng.

Wu Jiao read this word, and immediately knew who the opponent was in such a big formation, and the welcoming team was arranged like a fight.

In ancient times, Meng meant the eldest brother. Lu Zhuanggong had a concubine elder brother, and he mentioned it like a thunder. When I was in school, I learned about this man. There is a very famous sentence in it - "Qingfu is not dead, Lu Nan has not died. ".

And this father Qing is the eldest brother of Duke Zhuang of Lu, and Meng is his nickname. Regardless of the fact that Father Qing had an affair with Duke Lu Zhuang's wife, Ai Jiang, and after the death of Duke Zhuang Lu, he killed two heirs. It can be said that it is notorious, but Qingfu is the ancestor of the Meng family. The famous Mencius is the No. 20 grandson of Qingfu, and the Meng family originated from here.

Wu Jiu glanced at the battle flag, and knew that the other party must be the son Qingfu, with such a big show, it seemed that he wanted to show off his prestige and establish his trust.

Qihou also took a look at the situation on the opposite side, just sneered, and said: "Father Qing is so flamboyant, he dares to play with Gu Yanyan."

He said that's all, put down the curtain of the black car, and didn't go any further.

The car soon stopped beside Shi Shui, because it was inconvenient for Marquis Qi to go out of the country. On the other hand, Marquis Qi was also the princess' father-in-law, so he was very senior, so it was inconvenient to welcome him.

So the car stopped on the edge of Shishui, and did not cross the border between the two countries. Soon all the convoys were stable, and Qihou slowly stepped off the frame.

When Lu's army saw Qi's cars stop, they heard the sound of "gurgling" ruts, and soon the cars in twos and threes were arranged in an arrow shape, and they also quickly rolled towards the water's edge, and stopped at the water's edge. side.

There was a man wearing a black armor and a red cloak standing on the front of the car. The man had a beard and looked about 30 years old. , the lips are quite thick, but they look mean.

There is a banner on the back of the man, and there is only one word on it - Meng.

Apparently it was Duke Lu's eldest brother, son Qingfu.

Father Qing saw that Marquis Qi had got out of the car, so he didn't dare to push him, so he jumped off the car with a "step!" and said with a smile, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Qi Gong is polite, and I have specially sent Qing father to welcome Qi Gong." Big drive!"

Qihou just cupped his hands slightly and said, "Thank you."

Father Qing said with a smile: "The princess has settled down by the river of time, Duke Qi has been exhausted all the way, please enter the shogunate!"

Qihou laughed lightly, not knowing whether it was a smirk or something, and said flatly: "It's not marching to fight, why did the shogunate talk about it?"

At that time, the shogunate was a military command organization set up during wars. Because Qi and Lu were still hostile, they were extremely stalemate. Although Wen Jiang understood Duke Lu, Duke Lu was not reconciled, so he wanted to make it clear. Taking a look at the powerful national power and prestige of the Lu State, Father Qing specially asked Father Qing to bring a large army, put on a good-looking posture, and knock on the Marquis of Qi, so naturally a shogunate was set up.

Father Qing couldn't hold back when Qi Hou said it so bluntly, and his face was a little unsightly. He turned his eyes away and saw Wu Jiao standing behind Qi Hou. Brother, a few months ago, Brother Jiu had a drink with me, but today it is rare to see him, so we must have a good drink."
