Chapter 45 Assassination (1)

Wu Jiu wanted to sleep with the little bun Dier in his arms at night, after all, it is soft and feels really good, but the little bun Dier was abducted by Ning Qi, the child's spirit is good, it is rare that Ning Qi also saw a peer, Naturally, they had to fight together, and they continued until midnight, but Wu Jiu couldn't hold it anymore, so he went to bed early.

Wu Jiao finally returned to the Qi Palace and slept on a soft couch, which was much softer than the cars and tents on the road. It was so sweet to sleep on, it was the only one that had slept in the past few months. A good night's sleep.

When Wu Zheng didn't get enough sleep, he heard a woman's voice, no, it's not a woman's voice, but a little girl's voice, vaguely saying: "Young master...Young master..."

The voice was hazy and a little timid, and it couldn't be heard clearly at all, calling himself repeatedly.

Wu Jiu was so sleepy that he couldn't wake up, and he vaguely heard what the little girl's voice said, but he still couldn't hear clearly, when he was trying to hear clearly, a clear and penetrating voice said: "My lord, Mr. I'm coming up to you! Get up and change quickly!"

When Wu Jiu heard this, he didn't understand, but he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Ziqing, and it was Ziqing who was talking.

Then he looked to the side, there were other people, and Wu Jiu, who got up early, had a mess in his head, and after thinking about it, he remembered that it was the little maid Yan'e who was newly recruited yesterday.

Because Yan'e was still a newcomer, she was a little shy and didn't dare to speak too loudly, so she couldn't wake Wu Jiu up at all, so Ziqing was still needed.

Wu Jiu turned over from the bed and said, "What? Your Majesty is here?"

So early?Even if your majesty is not in the morning court today, shouldn't you just come here like this?

Ziqing said briskly: "It is true that the emperor is here. The eunuch just came to communicate and will be here soon."

As he spoke, he turned to Yan'e and said, "Hurry up and get some hot water for you to wash."

Yan E quickly said, "Yes."

As she spoke, she trotted out quickly, and quickly left the room. Ziqing hurriedly brought the clothes. Wu Jiao looked at it, his face wrinkled, and said, "Why is it still purple?"

Ziqing gave a rare laugh, and said, "Master, don't you want to wear the one given by the girl from the country yesterday?"

Wu Jiu listened to him making fun of himself, and just wanted to fight back, but Yan E rushed in holding a basin, Wu Jiao was shocked, after all, he got out of the quilt and was only wearing a pair of clothes at this time. A white obscene robe, he quickly grabbed the purple robe in Ziqing's hand and put it on himself.

Yan'e didn't notice Wu Jiao's flurry, after all, she was a court lady who served others, but Wu Jiao didn't want a little girl to see him running around in obscene clothes, it would be embarrassing.

Wu Jiao hurriedly put on his clothes, Ziqing covered his mouth and smiled, his shoulders were trembling when he laughed, Wu Jiao was a little strange, the little Yan'e looked embarrassed, and said very unnaturally: "Mr...Mr....you The clothes are worn upside down, Yan'e help the young master to fix it?"

Wu Jiu: "..."

Wu Jiao had no choice but to take off his clothes, and anyway, although Ziqing was holding it front-facing just now, Wu Jiao was in a hurry and even put it on after holding it upside down. Because the silk was soft and slippery, his sleeves were bald I just went up, and I didn't feel that I was wearing it backwards.

Wu Jiu lost an adult, so he dressed quickly, and then washed. After washing, Ziqing hurriedly helped him tidy up his robes, and put the jade gift that Marquis Qi had rewarded him on his waist. After all, Xiao Yan'e was a girl. Not very good at it, but combing hair is much better than Ziqing.

Wu Jiu sat on the mat, Yan'e tied Wu Jiu's hair in two or three strokes, and the knot was neither loose nor tight, and she didn't feel pain or discomfort, and put on the jade crown.

Wu Jiu saw that this technique was much better than Ziqing's. Although Ziqing tied it up every time, the process was really painful. Combs in this era are not as ergonomic as modern ones. It won't work if you don't pull off a few at a time.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Yan'e, your skill is really ingenious."

Although Yan'e looks lively and cheerful, with a round and sweet face, she is actually quite shy and not very courageous, so she said rather embarrassedly: "This is the job of a maidservant." .”

Wu Jiu was still saying that Yan'e's combing skills were good, but at this moment, the eunuch outside knocked on the door, Wu Jiu got up quickly, Ziqing hurried to open the door, Yan'e was the most nervous.

Yan'e is not the court lady beside Ai Jiang, what Ai Jiang said was cute and caring, those words of praise for Yan'e are just random compliments, Yan'e is the palace maid in the palace, she entered the palace at the age of ten, now there are two It's been a year.

She has been doing coolies, such as washing clothes and the like, and she is not a high-ranking court lady at all, but the lowest.

About half a year ago, because Yan'e was willing to endure hardships and had no temper, she always had a soft appearance, plus her appearance, she was really not very beautiful in the palace, so Shao Weiji took a fancy to her.

Shao Weiji took her away and asked her to work by her side, but she was not a high-ranking maid, responsible for taking care of the room and so on. It was only the first time she had seen Shao Wei Ji in half a year.

Ever since Shaowei Ji was suddenly sent back to the country by the Marquis of Qi, a bunch of court ladies were "unemployed" and sent back to various labor departments to work as coolies.

But at this time, because the palace had to welcome the princess and the daughter of the country, there was not enough manpower. Yan E was assigned to serve beside the daughter of the country, Ai Jiang. When Ai Jiang arrived yesterday, Yan E had just gone to report .

Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed places and was transferred to Wu Jiu's side.

It can be said that Yan'e is a little maid who has never seen the world. She can work, but she has never met Qi Hou. She was really nervous when she saw Qi Hou for the first time, so she quickly hid behind Ziqing.

Before the eunuch could finish the communication, Qihou, who was dressed in a black robe, had already walked in first. With a flick of the black robe, he walked into Wu Jiao's room.

Wu Jiu hurriedly bowed and saluted, then invited Qi Hou to sit down at the table, and said, "Jiu pays homage to Your Majesty."

Qihou was smiling, and he seemed to be in a very good mood. The smile on his pampered Qihou's face could almost squeeze out a bunch of laugh lines, it was too fake.

Qi Hou said with a smile: "What kind of ceremony is the second brother? Sit down too."

After he finished speaking, Wu Jiu got up and also sat on the mat. When he looked up, he found that Qihou's eyes were looking to the side, and he turned his head slightly, looking at Yan'e behind Ziqing.

Yan'e had never seen the world before, so she hid behind Ziqing and found Qihou staring at her, her face turned pale with fright, her round face was tense, her hands were placed behind her back, I was so nervous that I almost sweated.

It was already very strange for Marquis Qi to come here in the morning, and what's even more strange is that today he smiled very fakely, he didn't speak after he came in, and first stared at Yan'e for a long time.

Marquis Qi himself came to experience what kind of glamorous palace maids Wu Jiu could accept.

In the end, I ran over to take a look, and felt that the maid had a kind face, and then the smile on her face froze. Isn't this...

Isn't this Yan'e?

Yan'e was a very inconspicuous court lady in the palace, and when Qihou was under house arrest, Yan'e was no longer a young court lady. Not outstanding.

But what is rare is that the eunuchs and maids think that Yan E is a good aunt, and this elderly court lady takes great care of them.

Qi Hou never thought that such a person who is not showing off his mountains and dews, and is a little timid, who does not want to show off in anything, would crawl in from the dog's hole after he was placed under house arrest, and cry to see him.

At that time, Yan'e was not young anymore, the years were on her face, accompanied by tears, it seemed that Qihou's internal organs were about to burst, and she didn't know if it was for herself or Yan'e.

Today's Yan'e is only 12 years old this year, and at the age of twenty-six, naturally she can't see the charm of a woman, and her appearance is also ordinary. It's pretty.

Even if Yan'e is not the most beautiful and charming, but Qihou was shocked when he saw such a young Yan'e. Many emotions suddenly hit his heart. People have never experienced those dark troughs, and will never There is an epiphany, especially for a high-ranking overlord like Qihou.

Qihou looked at Yan'e, slowly retracted his smile, his expression became serious as he was thinking about something, and stared at her in a daze.

This frightened Yan'e. After all, no one now knows that Qihou is a person who has experienced a lifetime. Yan'e thought that she had done something wrong. She took it out on her, saying that if she had the ability to be pretty, she would be her master, but if she didn't, she would be beaten.

Yan E was only 12 years old, and she was terrified. Wu Jiu was a little surprised when he saw that Marquis Qi had been born for a long time. Could it be that Marquis Qi ran over so early in the morning because... he fell in love with Yan E?

But Yan'e's beauty is really not outstanding among Qihou's three wives. Could it be that Qihou has changed his taste?

Seeing Yan E's frightened gaze, Wu Jiu quickly took a step forward, coughed heavily, and said, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

Qihou was yelled several times by him, until Wu Jiao covered Qihou's sight, Qihou came back to his senses, knew that he had lost his composure, and then smiled and said to cover it up: "What did the second brother just say?"

Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty came here so early, I don't know what to order."

Qihou smiled and said, "I can't visit my second brother without my order."

Wu Jiu didn't speak, Qihou smiled again and said, "Second Brother said there is something wrong, there really is something wrong."

Wu Jiu said, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Qihou sat on the mat, tapped his fingers lightly on his knees, and said with a smile: "I really miss the pancakes made by my second brother, and I want to ask my second brother to make this."

Wu Jiu was almost choked to death by Qi Hou in an instant, why did he feel that Qi Hou is so greedy recently, more harmful than other women when they were pregnant.

Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh and said, "Jun Shangjiu is here for such a trivial matter? Just let the eunuch pass it on."

Qihou said with a smile: "Eh? How can this kind of thing be considered a trivial matter? The monarch should first respect the country when offering sacrifices. This is the most important thing."

I have never seen such a high-sounding statement from a foodie...

At this time, Sheji did not refer to the country. Sheji was read separately. She was the god of the land, and Ji was the god of valley. Ask for a good harvest.

Wu Jiu had no choice but to laugh dryly and said: "Your Majesty is right, then I will do it after a while, Your Majesty, please move."

Qi Hou laughed and said, "Second Brother, isn't this driving Gu away?"

Wu Jiu said: "I dare not correct, but I am afraid of delaying the important affairs of the emperor."

Qi Hou said: "There is nothing important today, but I have to prepare a banquet for the princess in the evening, and the second brother will also attend the banquet at that time."

Wu Jiu said, "Of course it is."

Qihou said, his eyes turned again, and finally fell on Yan'e, which frightened Yan'e again. He saw Qihou smiling, with a standard "wretched uncle" appearance on his face, like a human trafficker, and his voice was loud. He was so gentle, he probably knew that he had frightened Yan'e.

Qihou said: "What's your name, just look at it."

Upon hearing this, Yan'e immediately knelt down with a "plop", which frightened Marquis Qi, and Yan'e respectfully replied, "Go back to your majesty, servant girl Yan'e."

When Qihou heard it, it was indeed Yan'e, but she was too young, so Qihou didn't dare to recognize her for a moment.

Qi Hou said again: "When did you follow the son? Ziqing was the only one before?"

Yan'e hurriedly said: "I served the young master only yesterday."

Qihou said again: "Where did you serve before?"

Yan'e's face was sweaty when asked, not to mention Wu Jiao next to him, even Ziqing felt that maybe Qihou had taken a fancy to Yan'e, otherwise why would he ask all kinds of questions.

Yan'e told about where she used to work. When Qihou heard it, Yan'e had such a hard life. She used to do hard work. She finally went to Shaoweiji's place, but she also did rough work. It didn't take half a year. I went back to do the hard work again.

Qihou felt that he was not that ungrateful person, especially after so much, and his benefactor was right in front of him, but it was not easy to suffer so much, so he pondered for a while, and said: "Yan'e, Just look at your good looks, so let's go..."

Wu Jiao thought to himself, could it be that Marquis Qi really fell in love with Yan E and wanted to fill her into the palace?

While everyone was speculating, Qi Hou said slowly: "Well, Gu has always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately there are only three boys who are useless. Today, Gu sees you with a good face, recognizes you as a righteous daughter, and makes you a daughter of the country. , How about telling the world?"

Yan'e was dumbfounded, the eunuchs around Qihou were dumbfounded, Ziqing was also dumbfounded, and finally Wu Jiu was also confused by Qihou.

Didn't Marquis Qi fall in love with Yan'e?Suddenly want to make Yan'e a daughter of the country?

It is true that the princes and kings will entrust many daughters of the country, but most of them are the daughters of noble clans. For example, Ai Jiang, the daughter of Zhu'er, was canonized as a daughter of the country by the Qihou, and then she was surrounded by people and entered Linzi City.

As for Yan'e, she was a petty official. In this day and age, a petty minister was called a slave. It could be said that he had a low status. He was praised by the Marquis of Qi without a name or distinction. Of course, everyone was surprised.

Wu Jiu glanced at Qi Hou suspiciously. Although he didn't know that Qi Hou was reborn, but Qi Hou suddenly treated a court lady so nicely, which made Wu Jiu suspicious.

Yan'e froze for a moment, Qi Hou smiled and said, "How is it? Yan'e."

Yan E hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Dong Dong Dong" three times first, Wu Jiao thought that she was happy to agree, but who knew that the moment Yan E opened her mouth, everyone was dumbfounded again.

Yan'e said: "Thank you, sir, but...but Yan'e came from a humble background, she is a humble servant girl, she really dare not provoke the emperor, besides, although Yan'e only served the young master yesterday, but the young master is humble and treats you well." Yan'e is very good, Yan'e has not repaid her kindness, and dare not accept your majesty's kindness, please forgive me."

Don't look at Yan'e's timidity, but her speech is methodical. Wu Jiao thought that Qi Hou would be angry. After all, others refuted his face. As a result, Qi Hou was not angry, but smiled and said: "You are really interesting, I will let you do it." Country girl, if you don’t want to do it, that’s fine.”

Qi Hou was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "The lonely second brother is gentle and gentle, not a mean master, Yan'e, you can follow the son as well."

As he spoke, he stood up and said: "Gu called Master Shu Ya to discuss matters in the political affairs hall. It's about time, so it passed."

As he walked out, he suddenly turned his head and said, "I almost forgot, second brother, don't forget about the pancakes."

Wu Jiu was at a loss for words for a while, and watched Qi Hou Kuan Kui leave.

As soon as Marquis Qi left, Ziqing hurried to close the door, while Yan'e breathed a sigh of relief and almost fell to the ground.

Wu Jiu asked Ziqing to help her sit down, and said strangely, "Yan'e, why don't you accept the title?"

Yan'e gasped for several breaths, looking a little awkward, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Yan'e...Although Yan'e is an ignorant little servant girl, but...but she also understands. Since ancient times, she has been named a national daughter, They all want to marry far away to get married, although Yan'e has no family in the Qi country, she doesn't want to go far away, besides, the young master is an amiable person, Yan'e is satisfied with serving the young master, and absolutely does not want to go out and fight with others."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he almost laughed out loud. He didn't expect Yan'e to think so long-term, but it was the same when he thought about it again. Everyone who was named a daughter of the country would marry out of the family, and Yan'e thought of this.

Qi Hou didn't expect that he really had good intentions, and wanted Yan'e to be prosperous and rich from now on, which could be regarded as repaying Yan'e, but Yan'e's thinking was wrong, and he heard about this from Ziqing.

But Qihou no longer knows what kind of temper he has. In short, no one trusts a good person, and others only think of him as a wily man.

Because Marquis Qi wanted to eat pancakes, Wu Jiao was ready to go to the kitchen to make pancakes after seeing Marquis Qi away. Just as the two little guys next door got up, Wu Jiao didn’t let Ziqing and Yan’e follow, and the two took care of the little ones. Guys, go to the dining room yourself.

Wu Jiu walked all the way to the dining room. When he passed the garden, there were not many people there. He saw a few eunuchs walking past with their backs to him and walked with him. Because Wu Jiu walked lightly and the time was early, those The eunuch didn't notice Wu Jiu at all, but a few people got together and walked forward at a leisurely pace, as if they had nothing to do, they were still talking quietly.

An eunuch said: "Have you heard? Your Majesty has come back this time and has a new favorite."

Another eunuch said, "What new favorite?"

The first eunuch said, "You don't even know this?"

Leading an eunuch said: "I was also there when your Majesty returned to the city. I didn't see any new wives, but Shao Wei Ji was driven away."

The first eunuch said: "Hey, you don't know that, it's not Madam."

"So mysterious? Are you going to tell me?"

"Tell me, why are you in a hurry, I tell you this news is absolutely reliable, I heard it last night! Hey! You can't even think of it, our lord, we like to see men's sex!"

Another eunuch said in surprise, "Masculinity?"

The first eunuch said: "Isn't it? And I'm afraid Your Majesty has taken a fancy to Young Master Jiu!"

"What? Young Master Correction? Impossible, impossible."

"How is it impossible? Think about it, that young master Jiu is a defeated bandit. If the emperor doesn't kill him, he will be a special envoy to the country of Ju, and a special envoy to welcome the princess? What's the point?"

Another eunuch said, "But...isn't this... Young Master Jiu's half-brother?"

The first eunuch said: "Hey, it seems that you don't know quite a lot. This young master is not the kind of Mr. Xiangong at all!! You don't know about this? It will be spread all over the Qi Palace. Why is Mr. Xiangong so ignorant?" Seeing Young Master Jiu, Xiangong loves to see that rogue ignorant, and doesn't like to see his son? Wrong, wrong! Because that Young Master Jiu is clearly a bunch of green hairs on Xian Gong's head, Xian Gong doesn't want to see Young Master Jiu, and doesn't want to see him either. That Lu girl, do you understand? Besides, these nobles, do they care about this? Don’t say that Young Master Jiu is not the seed of the late Duke, look at Mrs. Wen Jiang and Duke Xiang, don’t they still... hahaha!"

The first eunuch laughed unscrupulously, but the other eunuch was stunned for a moment when he heard so many inside stories, and said, "This, this, this..."

When they were talking, they heard a faint voice from behind, and said in a cold tone: "You understand, but I don't understand, why don't you explain it to me?"

Although his voice was not loud and his tone was very flat, when the voice came out, the two eunuchs in front trembled suddenly, then quickly turned around, and when they saw that it was Wu Jiao, their expressions of "shua!" suddenly changed in fright. , became extremely pale.

Wu Jiao smiled coldly and said, "Speak up."

The two eunuchs trembled again, and there was a "plop", and the two knelt down on the ground together, tremblingly said: "My lord... My lord, please spare me! It's him talking nonsense, and it has nothing to do with the minister! Chen... Xiaochen didn't believe it at all! Really, really!!"

When the eunuch who chewed his tongue heard it, the other party made the relationship clear, and immediately became anxious, and said: "Young minister... I also heard what people said, no, no, no... It's none of my business, my lord." , Xiaochen also decided not to believe it, those words are... all farts, those people have good intentions and seriously hurt your son, no one will believe it."

"Yes, yes, no one will believe it."

Wu Jiao squinted his eyes, because those two people were kneeling on the ground at this time, Wu Jiao looked unusually "tall", smiled, and said lightly: "I didn't hear the other people farting, but I heard you two chewing your tongue. fart."

The two eunuchs quickly kowtowed and said: "Young master, my minister...you are wrong, please forgive me! I still have... and my mother at home, because of my filial piety, please forgive me... Let me down, my minister!"

Wu Jiao smiled coldly, and said, "Now that I know I'm afraid, what did you do back then? Did you say it so frankly?"

The two eunuchs trembled and said, "...don't dare again, don't dare again, my lord, spare me!"

Although it was morning, there were busy palace people walking back and forth for the princess reception banquet, and gradually a large group of people gathered to watch, no one knew what was going on.

Wu Jiao said lightly, "It's okay to forgive you."

The two eunuchs immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!"

Wu Jiu laughed and said, "Don't be too busy thanking me, I still have something to say."

Those two people started trembling again, so they heard Wu Jiu say, "I just said I heard it last night? Who told it?"

The second eunuch didn't know who to listen to, so he looked at the first eunuch. The first eunuch's face was pale, and he obviously didn't dare to speak. Looking at this expression, Wu Jiao seemed to know that the eunuch could not provoke him. up people.

The first eunuch didn't want to speak, so he stammered for a long time, Wu Jiu said, "It's easy if you don't talk, you two are guilty of the same crime."

The second eunuch was implicated for no reason, and hurriedly urged: "Say it quickly, are you looking for death! The young master finally forgave us! Say it, say it!"

The eunuch was pressed hard, he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Yes... I heard what the country girl said."

"Country girl?"

In the state of Qi, only Ai Jiang can be called a country girl, and just now Yan'e has rejected the title of country girl, so the country girl must be Ai Jiang alone.

The eunuch said: "Yes, yes, that's how it is. Yesterday, the young minister was ordered to deliver dinner to the daughter of the country. I passed by the door and overheard that the daughter of the country slandered the young master not from the ancestors. She also said that the young master and... Your Majesty... , I dare not speak half a lie, please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

Wu Jiu didn't expect that Ai Jiang sent a woman's clothes yesterday, and today she came out like this again, not only that, but Ai Jiang was quite hostile, and when she came up, she brought Qihou with her.

Wu Jiao said flatly: "My son said just now that I can forgive you for a while, but..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the onlookers, and continued: "My lord is researching a new dish recently, and I just need novel ingredients. I need two taels of Tesuji, a few eyeballs, and a few tongues. If I hear someone chewing The root of the tongue, no matter what you say, you pick out the tendon and stew it, goug out your eyes and fry it, pull out your tongue and eat it with wine, do you understand?"

Not only were the two eunuchs kneeling on the ground trembling, but the surrounding palace people were also taken aback. They felt bloody and brutal when they heard it, and they even claimed it, and then hurriedly dispersed.

The two little ministers ran away scrambling.

Wu Jiao frowned, thinking that Ai Jiang didn't know what to do, anyway, he wasn't someone to mess with.

When Wu Jiu encountered this incident, he was very angry, and others made irresponsible remarks. He walked into the dining room, quite angry, and made a super "angry" pancake for Qihou, with green onions inside. Ginger powder, hot pepper, and yellow mustard are delivered to people after they are ready.

Qihou had a lot of eyeliners, what happened in the garden was so sensational, Qihou heard about it just after discussing the government affairs with Bao Shuya, and the eunuch just happened to bring pancakes.

Looking at the pancakes, Qihou didn't blame Wu Jiu for his cruel words, but just said with a smile: "Second brother Gu, has a hard mouth but a soft heart, and a sharp tongue. It's full of momentum."

Qihou said with a smile, he picked up the pancake and bit it into his mouth, there was a "click", it was thin and crispy, and the pancake skin was wrapped with fresh and tender eggs, it was neither old nor hard, extremely smooth and tender, but...

One bite, it was numb and spicy, and it hit the nose, Qi Hou almost shed physical tears, it was so refreshing...

Wu Jiao made a pancake, and then thought of the chestnuts he brought back. Chestnuts are rare these days, and they are all offered as tribute. The hilltop occupied by Ning Qi and the others is just suitable for growing chestnuts. It is dense and plump, and it would be a waste if you don’t bring it back, and Wu Jiao even let a group of people go over to continue planting chestnuts.

Wu Jiao thought he would go to the dining room by himself, and he had to do something before leaving, so he made a bunch of hawthorn pits and prepared to fry chestnuts for eating.

The cooks prepared the breakfast and saw that Wu Jiao was inventing new dishes again, so they hurriedly gathered around to watch, it happened that frying chestnuts was a tiring job, Wu Jiao wanted to ask some people to help, so he got some sand first, and then found another Something similar to a big shovel, put the big pot on and start frying chestnuts.

Whether stir-fried chestnuts with sugar are delicious, in fact, the main point is not the problem of sugar, nor stir-fry, but the hawthorn core must be added to the sand of stir-fried chestnuts, or directly fried with hawthorn core. With a fragrance of sweetness, the taste is naturally different.

Wu Jiao asked the cook to help stir-fry, and made a lot of fried chestnuts. Although there is no sugar, the chestnuts have a good taste, sweet and refreshing, and with the aroma of hawthorn, the taste is already good.

Wu Jiu distributed some of the chestnuts to the cooks, and then asked the eunuch to send some to the Marquis of Qi, and some to the princess, and finally left with a plate, and went back to feed the little ones.

Wu Jiu was holding chestnuts, they were fragrant, he didn't expect that when he was passing by the garden, Yuanjia Road was narrow, and he met the country girl whom the temple population just mentioned.

And there was another person beside the country girl, who turned out to be the eunuch who served Wang Ji. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, but when they saw Wu Jiao approaching, they seemed like frightened birds, and the eunuch ran away quickly.

Don't look at the eunuch who looks like a little boy, but he is tall and runs fast, so he left in one go.

When Ai Jiang saw Wu Jiu, she didn't shy away from him, and didn't feel guilty at all that she had spread rumors. She walked up, smiled sweetly, and said, "Second Uncle went to the dining room again? I don't know when Second Uncle got this habit. , like to drill into the dining room?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Gourmet food can make people happy. Jiu likes to cook meals, and people who eat meals are also happy. It's better than those who hide in the dark and chew their tongues, right?"

Ai Jiang also smiled, as if she didn't think that Wu Jiao was talking about herself, and said, "What Second Uncle said seems to make sense, but Jiang is a daughter, so I don't understand the profound things Second Uncle said."

She said, and then said: "Jiang is a little tired, so I will leave first, second uncle is polite."

After Ai Jiang finished speaking, she turned her head and left.

Wu Jiu looked at the back of Ai Jiang going away, and then looked back at the back of the eunuch running away. I really don't know how Wang Ji's eunuch knew Ai Jiang?

The chestnuts fried by Wu Jiao are delicious, but it is time-consuming and there are not many skills. Qihou and the little ones like to eat them. Later, Zhaohu was greedy. I heard that there is a fried chestnut that is delicious. Wu Jiao There was really no other way, so I made some more for Zhaohu and the others to share.

Zhaohu and the others even ate fried chestnuts with wine and wine, which was quite pleasant, but Zhaohu drank too much and went berserk, poor Dong Guoya wanted to deal with him.

Wu Jiu chattered for a whole day, and kept doing stir-fried chestnuts. Although he didn't stir-fry all the time, his arms were sore from exhaustion.

Everyone thinks the fried chestnuts are sweet and delicious, but Wang Ji doesn't like it. Wu Jiao asked someone to give some to Wang Ji. It is said that Wang Ji said that the fried chestnuts have a nasty taste. After eating one, it still hurts her stomach. The eunuch next to him directly dumped all the fried chestnuts in sugar.

Wu Jiao thought to himself that he was trying to save face for the princess. After all, Wang Ji was sent by Emperor Zhou, but Wang Ji's wasting food once or twice was too arrogant.

The reception banquet in the evening will start soon, this time the reception banquet has very rich dishes, because it is Yi Ya who is in charge, he has just entered the dining room, and it is the first time he is in charge of this kind of banquet, so naturally he must do his best, Wu Jiao is cooking When I was eating chestnuts, I also looked at the dishes, and they were all Yi Ya's specialties, and of course there were Tibetan lamb with fish belly, five-flavored chicken, and so on.

Yi Ya is not an ordinary person. Whether in the eyes of politicians or cooks, it is not unreasonable for the cook to regard him as a god. He is good at using ingredients that others dare not use, such as mushrooms with mutton hidden in fish belly He bamboo shoots are good at adjusting flavors that others dare not adjust, such as the schisandra of the five-flavored chicken.

Although in the eyes of modern people like Wu Jiu, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty are nothing more than those tastes, and they have already seen enough, but in that era, it was simply an epoch-making creation.

Yi Ya’s cooking also pays attention to the appearance and presentation of the dishes. Such an exquisite presentation is no longer stewed meat with meat sauce and puree. , each dish is like a handicraft, which is really rare.

When Wu Jiao was frying chestnuts, he secretly tasted a few dishes.

Because of the busy day, Wu Jiu, who is a foodie, is actually quite looking forward to the reception banquet in the evening, not to mention anything else, the delicious food is enough to make people happy.

The welcome banquet is also a family banquet, so there are no other people, and the configuration is still the same. The difference is that there is no Shaoweiji this time.

The quality of the reception banquet was very high-profile, and Wu Jiu didn't dare to go late. It was still a purple robe. Although the style was different every time, he got tired of wearing it. As a result, Wu Jiu went to the banquet hall of the reception banquet. , The person who found this model came, the young master Wukui was wearing a purple robe, and the young master Zhao who was holding the corner of Wukui's clothes was also wearing a small purple robe, and he looked quite handsome.

Entering the banquet hall, Wei Ji and Zheng Ji were already there. In order to match their preferences, they all heard that Qi Hou likes the purple silk of Lu State recently, and also wore purple skirts. Looking around, they were all purple. A watery purple.

Wu Jiu was almost blinded by the purple color, thinking that Guan Yiwu's plan was really going to succeed, purple silk has already become popular in the noble court, and the officials will follow suit, and the people will compete to wear it.

Wu Jiu walked into the banquet hall and sat down. Qi Hou also came soon. Among the group of bright purples, Qi Hou was wearing a black court robe. After all, today is to greet the prince and daughter of Zhou Tianzi, so he still needs to dress in black.

Qihou has arrived, and everyone has arrived, but Wang Ji, who is the princess, is late and asks Qihou to wait for her.

Just when Qihou and the others were not looking very well, Wang Ji finally came slowly, followed by the eunuch, who came slowly, wearing apricot-colored clothes, and sitting in the crowd was quite eye-catching.

Wang Ji sat down, the banquet was already set, and Qi Hou was about to say some polite words, but before he could say anything, Wang Ji pointed to the hidden mutton in the belly of the fish and said, "What is this? It's very fishy. Remove it, remove it, the smell is dead."

The eunuch next to him hurriedly ordered the maid to remove the mutton hidden in the fish belly. Qi Hou remained silent, and he endured it silently. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Ji spoke again, saying: "What is this? This chicken smells so bad It's amazing, take it away!"

The eunuch asked the maids to evacuate them again. Qihou had tasted the two dishes before, so he naturally knew what the taste was like, what kind of fishy smell, Qihou felt that the princess might be showing his face.

The others were also trembling and did not dare to speak, and did not dare to take a breath. After all, Shaowei Ji had just been sent away, and Chang Weiji and Zheng Ji had restrained themselves. With eight of their courage, they did not dare to attack Qihou like this.

Qi Hou was very ugly, just when Wang Ji pointed to a meat sauce next to him and wanted to speak, Qi Hou slapped the table with a "bang", and said coldly: "Just remove the seat of the princess too! "

As soon as the princess raised her head, she happened to meet Qi Hou's cold gaze, she trembled in fright, and dared not speak any more.

Wu Jiu also figured it out, this Wang Ji is the more you let her go, the more she pushes her forward, you have to stare at Qi Hou, Wang Ji will calm down and be honest, it was like this last time when I was with Shishui, and it is still like this this time.

As he spoke, he raised his cup and said coldly, "I'll respect the princess for a cup."

The princess didn't dare to speak, so she raised her glass and drank the wine, she spit it out with a "poof" after she drank it, and said with her tongue out, "Such bitter wine?"

The princess sprayed all the wine on
