Chapter 62 Kiss a try (1)
Ziqing and Yan'e followed Wu Jiu out quickly, Wu Jiu's expression was very gloomy, Yan'e said cautiously: "My lord, you are fine, don't be fussy like that Lu Ji."
Wu Jiao shook his head and said, "No, this time I've made up my mind."
He said, walked a few steps, looked back at his restaurant, and said to Ziqing: "Ziqing, come here."
Ziqing hurried up a few steps and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Go and check the medicine that Lu Ji has taken in the past few days, and take the medicine dregs to the doctor to see what's in it. She should be taking medicine every day recently."
Although Ziqing was a little suspicious, he still said, "Yes, Ziqing will go now."
He said, and left quickly, Yan'e didn't know why Wu Jiao asked Ziqing to check the medicine Lu Ji had taken, and said strangely, "My lord?"
Wu Jiao led Yan'e back slowly, shaking his wrist with a smile while walking, and said, "Yan'e, look at the lacquer bracelet on Lu Ji's wrist, how do you feel?"
Yan'e thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of the big red lacquer bracelet on Lu Ji's wrist. It was very conspicuous because it was made of red lacquer with intricate patterns carved on it. It looked noble, elegant, and extravagant.
This thing should have been brought by Lu Ji from the state of Lu, because among the many vassal states, the state of Lu has the oldest qualifications, the most luxurious palaces, and all kinds of lacquerware are also very particular.
Lacquer ware flourished with the introduction of Buddhism after the Western Jin Dynasty. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, lacquer ware was extremely precious. Wear it, or treat it as a supreme reward.
Because the quantity is very small, and the process is very complicated, first use the bronze tire shape as a base, and then apply red lacquer layer by layer. After applying one layer, wait for the lacquer to dry, and then paint again until the lacquer is thick. The bronze body is thickly wrapped. This process is hundreds or even thousands of times. Finally, the pattern is carved on it and then polished. If there is a slight error in the carved pattern, the bracelet is a defective product.
Because of the grand and complicated process and the gorgeous and luxurious finished product, lacquer is exclusive to nobles. Because it is exclusive, some special spices are mixed into the lacquer bracelet, so that after the bracelet is made, not only the color is beautiful, but also The taste is charming.
Just now Lu Ji pointed at Wu Jiao angrily, and what she raised was the hand with the bracelet on it. As soon as she raised her hand, Wu Jiao noticed it. Wu Jiu was a little concerned.
Wu Jiao is a cook, and his senses of smell and taste are extremely sensitive. He can not only taste the taste, but also smell it. Moreover, such a pungent smell is obviously the result of using too much force. It is the smell of musk...
In the big red lacquer bracelet, a lot of musk was specially added for the fragrance, the smell is very greasy, although it is mixed with other sweet smells, but Wu Jiu has a very good nose, and he can smell it as soon as he smells it. Pretty sure.
What does musk smell like?Zhao Feiyan, a famous beauty in history, likes to use musk mixed with other spices to make a pill called Xiangjiwan, and then stuff it into her navel. Xiangjiwan makes Zhao Feiyan smell fragrant all over her body. Its deodorant is also very famous.
But there is another famous place, that is, no matter how favored Zhao Feiyan is, there will be no heirs handed down at all. The key lies in the musk. The medicinal properties of musk are very overbearing. Wearing it for a long time will also cause women to have a miscarriage or even infertility.
Lu Ji said that she was pregnant, and within a month, less than two months, even the most powerful medical officer in Qi Palace had diagnosed that she was indeed pregnant. This period of time required careful maintenance, and Lu Ji was actually wearing a big red lacquered bracelet made of musk spice?
Just now when Lu Ji was talking to Wu Jiu, her attitude was extremely angry, her face turned blue, red and white back and forth, she was already blushing with anger and her neck was thick. Wu Jiao began to wonder if Lu Ji was really pregnant.
If she was really pregnant, he really didn't believe that Lu Ji would not be so angry that she would have a miscarriage.
Wu Jiu wanted to prove this point, and just now he asked Ziqing to investigate this issue, but in fact he killed two birds with one stone, firstly, because he really wanted to know whether Lu Ji had done something wrong to show her pregnancy, and secondly, Ziqing was the Marquis of Qi. People around him, let Ziqing do this matter, and the matter is of great importance, Ziqing will definitely tell Qihou.
When Wu Jiu brought Yan'e back to the palace, he hadn't returned to his own house, and met Father Qing head-on.
Father Qing's face was very ugly, obviously he was called over by Qihou for the fourth time and frowned. After all, Qihou had just suffered from Lu Ji's side, and he was still thinking about whether the child should stay or not, and when did he suffer? Such a big loss, naturally he had to call Father Qing over and frowned.
Today, Marquis Qi approached Father Qing again to discuss the cession of the land, and he yelled loudly at him. The key is that Father Qing could not retaliate. He had sent someone back to report this month. What Duke Lu meant was to let him go around and try to Do not cede land.
Such a big problem fell on Qing's father, and Qing's father also wanted to turn around, but every time he was caught by Qihou, he would be ridiculed for a while, and he was already full of anger.
Father Qing was arrested today, and only then did I hear that it was because Lu Ji was secretly pregnant with Qihou's child, that's why Qihou was so angry, always looking for his own bad luck, and suppressed him vigorously.
As a result, Father Qing was both happy and angry. He was happy that Lu Ji was considered a nobleman of their Lu Kingdom. If she really conceived the child of Marquis Qi, ask Duke Lu to give Lu Ji a daughter of the country, and then The feudal lords marry, and maybe they will give birth to a son in the future, and Qi will have the blood of Lu, so that it will be convenient to control Qi in the future.
But what was indignant was that Lu Ji acted alone, and she didn't come to tell herself after she was pregnant with Qi's seed. Obviously she wanted to fly solo. Lu Ji was also smart, knowing that Father Qing had nothing to do with Qi Hou, I'm afraid Qing's father was hurting himself because of the land cession, so he never contacted Qing's father.
Qing's father originally wanted to use Lu Ji as a pawn, but the pawn turned over and threw off the coach, and even used the coach as a stepping stone. How could Qing's father not be angry?
On the one hand, he was angry with Qihou's attitude, and on the other hand, he was angry that the pawn turned over. Father Qing was angry now, when he saw Wu Jiu, he smiled coldly and walked over.
Seeing him approaching, Wu Jiao saw that he could not avoid it, so he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Lu."
Father Qing didn't bow his hands either, and said with a strange smile, "Yo, Mr. Qi!"
He said, laughed again, and said: "You are the son of Qi, Qingfu is the son of Lu, we are both sons, do you think it is a coincidence? After all, Lu Ji has already married Qi Gong, We two young masters, why not..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Wu Jiu's face. Wu Jiu was still angry. Although he had already pouted Lu Ji, his heart was inexplicably angry. Qing's father was clearly here to find fault. Wu Jiu said, "Crack!" He opened the hand that he stretched out at once.
Father Qing was taken aback, he didn't expect Wu Jiu to beat him, Yan'e was usually soft and looked very easy to bully, but now he said sharply: "Mr. Lu, please be more careful!"
Father Qing laughed, as if he had heard some joke, and said, "I'm going to be careful? Lu Jiu, what are you? Don't be so arrogant! The thing you promised Lu Gong that day, is it worth it? Resent me for shouting about your identity and making everyone in the world laugh at you! I see how noble you will be then, I'm afraid you will be begging me humble..."
Father Qing's attitude was very arrogant. When he said this, he saw that the palace maid behind Wu Jiu suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a frightened expression on her face, and then she smiled and said, "Why, are you scared now? Don't worry, I am not a son. Those who hold grudges, you and your little palace lady, it is not impossible to go back with me now and serve me well."
As he was speaking, he heard a low voice behind him, saying, "What does Mr. Lu want to do?!"
Father Qing was taken aback, and looked back quickly, his face turned pale with fright, which was even more exaggerated than Yan'e's surprised expression just now, his legs softened suddenly, and he even gave a big gift as a foreign minister.
It turned out that the person standing behind him and drinking in a low voice was none other than Qihou. Qihou hadn't changed out of his black court robes. He was obviously dressed just now when he was discussing the cession of the land with him. Father Qing didn't expect Qihou to follow him. And obviously all the words he said just now were heard by Marquis Qi.
Qi Hou looked down at Father Qing coldly and said, "Young Master Lu, I just asked you a question, why do you have to do such a great gift?"
Father Qing bite the bullet and said, "Grand Qi was a hero at the time, so... Father Qing couldn't help but admire him, so... he wanted to do this great gift."
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "Okay, I really hope that Mr. Lu will not make one thing out of the open and one in the dark. Gu Ke hates such self-righteous and petty tricks the most."
Father Qing was sweating profusely, wiped it again and again, and said, "Yes, what Duke Qi said is true. Father Qing also hates this kind of person."
Wu Jiao answered calmly, "This kind of person is not only disgusting to new students, he's even worse than a pig or a dog."
Qing's father was scolded by Wu Jiao, his face was red with anger, but he didn't dare to get angry, and said with an apologetic smile, "Yes."
Qi Hou said coldly again: "Okay, Mr. Lu is tired from negotiating the land cession, so go back and rest earlier, and come back to discuss it again in a few days."
Father Qing's face turned blue when he heard this, and he went to discuss with him every now and then, obviously to be scolded, but he didn't dare to refuse, and said repeatedly: "Yes... yes... the foreign minister resigned."
After Qing's father finished speaking, he quickly ran away. Wu Jiao saw his back and was still wiping off his cold sweat.
As soon as Father Qing left, Marquis Qi changed his expression and said, "Second Brother..."
But Wu Jiu immediately raised his hands and cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Jiu still has something to do, so I will take my leave first."
Before Qihou could say a word, Wu Jiu was about to leave, Qihou quickly grabbed his wrist to prevent him from leaving, and said, "Second brother, wait a while, I have something to say to you."
Wu Jiu pulled out his wrist, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Qihou sighed helplessly, and said: "Gu Fang just heard about it, and it's bad luck for Lu Ji to go looking for you."
As soon as this was mentioned, Wu Jiu felt baffled, Lu Ji didn't seek bad luck for Wei Ji, nor did he seek bad luck for the favored Zheng Ji, but went to the small restaurant to find bad luck for himself.
That is to say, it is now the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and there is no place to stop in the court except for access control, road sleeping and famous halls.Today's palace is actually more like a big mansion, and there is no discipline in going in and out. It is not like the strict Qing palace drama that many people imagined.If that's the case, there were not so many cases in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States that the king of Qi was beheaded by a minister at this moment, and the king of Song was punched in the head by a general at that time, and his front teeth hit the door frame, and he was directly beaten to death.
Lu Ji is an envoy, and there are no restrictions on coming in and out. In this era that still pays attention to superficial etiquette, no matter what country it is, envoys are treated with courtesy. If they are not polite, they may be caught by other countries. After being ridiculed, those who have good things will go to war directly with these trivial things, and the coalition forces of various countries have also happened.
Lu Ji went out to look for Wu Jiu. At that time, Marquis Qi was still taunting Father Qing, so he didn't know. Sure enough, after Ziqing came back, he went to check Lu Ji's medicine and sent someone to inform Marquis Qi.
Although Ziqing didn't understand it very well, he told Qihou the whole thing, and the conversation between Lu Ji and Wu Jiu also told the whole story.
Qihou is a smart person, so when he said that, he felt that Lu Ji's pregnancy seemed a bit tricky, and Wu Jiu even specifically mentioned a bracelet.
Qihou didn't pay much attention to women's decorations, but vaguely remembered that Lu Ji was indeed wearing a big red bracelet, but he didn't know what it meant.
Ziqing went to check Lu Ji's medicine now, but he hasn't come back yet, so Qihou and Wu Jiu still don't know if there is anything tricky in Lu Ji's medicine.
Qi Hou pulled Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, can you tell Gu what's wrong with Lu Ji's bracelet?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu laughed, and deliberately said, "Your Majesty's news is so well-informed?"
Qi Hou's face froze, and then he also smiled and said, "Isn't that what the second brother meant? The lonely person has already lost his mind for the second brother. If the second brother is unwilling, can he come and tell the lonely?"
Wu Jiu smiled, did not deny it, but raised his wrist to gesture, and said, "Your Majesty, next time you pamper a beauty, you must remember to see if there is any special item on her body, Lu Ji's wrist The red lacquer bracelet worn on the top is not only expensive, but also contains a lot of musk spices, if wearing this object, the majesty of the emperor can also make Lu Ji pregnant with Liujia, so Jiao is also admirable."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi's face froze, and then his face was filled with anger, and he said, "Second brother, what do you mean, Lu Ji is a fake happy pulse?"
Wu Jiao nodded and said, "Nine out of ten chances, but the last one or two depends on Ziqing's report when he comes back."
Qi Hou's face was even more ugly, Lu Ji was so bold that she lied to herself with a fake pregnancy.
Wu Jiu said again: "Also, Your Majesty will send someone to check Lu Ji's whereabouts in the past few days to see if she has come into contact with any special people, so that I can confirm what Jiu is thinking."
Qihou immediately said: "Okay, I'll let someone investigate."
Wu Jiu said, "That Jiao has resigned."
Qi Hou hurriedly grabbed Wu Jiu's wrist again, and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen my second brother for a full month, I miss him so much, how about second brother making that wonton for Gu today?"
Wu Jiao suddenly smiled, that smile dazzled Qihou's eyes, Yan'e was taken aback for a moment, then thought to himself, the young master is really born well, smart and wise, it is a blessing for me to follow such a master up.
Qi Hou was almost stunned, and Wu Jiu said softly, "Let's wait until your Majesty actually hugs the son or princess."
As he spoke, he turned his head and left. Qi Hou was stunned, and then he looked helpless, and said in a distant voice: "Second brother, pay attention to your body, don't be too tired."
Wu Jiu didn't look back, but said lightly: "Your Majesty's beauty, don't come to find Jiu's bad luck every other day, it will be fine."
Wu Jiu went back to the room, and after a long time, he was impatient with waiting, Ziqing came back and said, "My lord, Ziqing went to check the medicine that Lu Ji took these days, but Lu Ji seemed very Be careful, nothing was left behind, so Ziqing boldly went to check Lu Ji's room."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, Ziqing was able to do this, Ziqing practiced martial arts, so naturally he was good at martial arts, if it was Yan'e who went there, it would be impossible for him to boldly enter Lu Ji's room.
Wu Jiu said, "Did no one find out?"
Ziqing said: "No, there is no one in Lu Ji's room. Ziqing found something, wrapped it carefully in a cloth, and tied it with black silk."
Thanks to the lack of strict guards in the palace in this era, Ziqing actually sneaked into Lu Ji's room and found a cloth bag. Ziqing was a careful person, and he found that there was still a hair tied on the cloth bag, as if It is a general mark.
So Ziqing carefully untied the fine hair, and then opened the cloth bag. There was some powder inside, but nothing could be seen. Ziqing carefully got some powder and brought it back, rewrapped the remaining powder, and wrapped the silk hair again. Fasten it, and it's back.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu immediately said, "Show it to me."
Ziqing took out a cloth bag made of small handkerchiefs, unfolded it carefully, and handed it to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiao stretched out his hand to take it, and there was some light yellow powder scattered on the veil, Wu Jiao took it to his nose and smelled it, thinking it was some kind of medicinal material, but when he smelled it carefully, there was indeed medicinal material in it, but the smell was really weird. Because most of the sweet and sour taste is mixed in, the cook Wu Jiu is very concerned about this taste.
Wu Jiao sniffed it carefully, and even reached out his hand to touch some on the tip of his tongue. His action scared Ziqing and Yan'e to exclaim "Master!", and they all rushed to grab it.
Wu Jiao was almost taken aback by their actions, and then he laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, it's not poison, and it's sweet and sour, and it tastes good."
Seeing that Wu Jiu was fine, Ziqing and Yan'e breathed a sigh of relief this time, Yan'e wiped off his sweat and said, "Master, you scared the servant girl to death!"
Ziqing quickly said, "This...what is this? Young Master."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I can't tell the difference between the medicinal materials and what I do more, but the sweet and sour taste is the powder ground from persimmons. I seem to have guessed the general effect."
Ziqing and Yan'e looked at each other in dismay for a moment, and neither of them could guess it. Yan'e said, "Psimmon? That's a good thing to pay tribute to."
Wu Jiu smiled, it is indeed the case. It is recorded in the "Book of Rites. Nei Ze" that persimmons were not artificially planted in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. They were all wild persimmons, so they were very rare, and because the soup of persimmons was Golden, it looks very luxurious and festive, so persimmon was a tribute in this era, and it was clearly recorded among the 31 kinds of delicacies that princes and emperors ate daily.
When Wu Jiao saw the powder mixed with persimmon powder and traditional Chinese medicine, he immediately understood, and he was even more sure that Lu Ji was not pregnant, but just played some tricks.
At this time, Qihou's eunuch also came over. Wu Jiao asked Qihou to send someone to check Luji's itinerary these days, and Qihou sent people to report to Wu Jiu.
The eunuch said that Lu Ji hardly ever went out for a month, and basically didn't see anyone. He usually saw the eunuchs and maids around him. It is worth mentioning that those eunuchs were indeed eunuchs, and it was impossible for them Lu Ji is pregnant, and another thing is to meet a medical officer, who diagnoses that Lu Ji is pregnant.
During this period, Lu Ji and Qingfu, who was an envoy of the State of Lu, did not meet each other. It can be said that if Lu Ji had not had a relationship with Qihou and became pregnant, then Lu Ji would have no chance of becoming pregnant.
When Wu Jiu heard this, he became more certain of his thoughts. He rewrapped the handkerchief, handed it to the eunuch, and said with a smile, "Please submit it to your lord. If you don't understand it, let your lord find a medical officer to see it." , you can tell at a glance."
When the eunuch heard this, he said yes again and again, and said, "Yes, my minister will go and answer."
As soon as the eunuch left, Ziqing and Yan'e couldn't hold back seeing Wu Jiu's smug smile, and Yan'e hurriedly said, "My lord, what's going on?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, Lu Ji really doesn't have a happy pulse, but she used some tricks to deceive the emperor."
Yan E said, "What method?"
Wu Jiu said: "It's the package of medicine powder just now. If I remember correctly, Lu Ji asked the medical officer of Qi State to come over to take the pulse because he was out of the moon and hadn't had menstruation yet. The medical officer concluded that Lu Ji was happy. pulse."
Ziqing and Yan'e nodded quickly, and Wu Jiu said, "This is just Lu Ji's plan. The medicine powder in that package should be the medicine powder to delay Lu Ji's menstruation."
When Ziqing and Yan'e heard this, they were both a little confused. Ziqing is a young man who doesn't understand women's menstruation at all, and Yan'e is still young and doesn't understand this matter. Strange.
Wu Jiu actually didn't understand it very well, but because he used to cook, he naturally studied some medicinal foods. Although persimmons are delicious, they are very cold in nature, so they must not be eaten too much, and they are not very good for women. Things, if a woman eats too many persimmons before menstruation, then the severe cold will affect her menstruation, making the menstruation wrong and not serious.
In fact, in ancient times, many prostitutes used persimmons as contraception.
There was a lot of persimmon powder in that packet of medicine powder, Wu Jiu just licked it, the main taste was sweet and sour, indeed there was some bitter taste, I don't know what kind of medicine powder it was, but the effect must be to delay her menstruation.
As a result, Lu Ji didn't have menstruation, and medicine was not developed in this era, and the medical officer didn't collude with Lu Ji, but after asking about Lu Ji's menstruation and some symptoms, it was naturally concluded that Lu Ji was pregnant.
Wu Jiao smiled coldly and said, "Unfortunately, she is just a smart person."
Lu Ji's medicine powder might have been formulated long ago. Before she came to Qi, she had already made up her wishful thinking, but Lu Ji took great pains, so she wasn't very smart after all.
Lu Ji wore a red musk lacquer bracelet on her wrist, probably it was given to Lu Ji by Duke Lu last time. After all, although Lu Ji was a nobleman, she was a concubine, and she did not have this kind of lacquerware in her position.
Lu Ji may only think that the lacquer bracelet is beautiful, luxurious, and has a bewitching fragrance. She never thought that this lacquer bracelet exposed herself, and it contained a lot of musk. If she could still get pregnant with this lacquer bracelet, Wu Jiao I really admire her.
A lacquer bracelet is not inevitable, but with this packet of medicine powder and Lu Ji's itinerary for this month, Wu Jiu is very sure that Lu Ji is definitely not pregnant, but just playing a trick on Qihou.
In this way, the problem came again, Wu Jiao smiled and touched his chin, Lu Ji is now pretending to be pregnant, but she can't get in touch with other men to cuckold Qi Hou, so there is only one way, of course It's a bitter trick, pretending to be slippery, in this way, maybe he can pretend to be pitiful and arouse Qi Hou's sympathy.
Wu Jiu felt that after such a taunt by himself, Lu Ji might be charged with the crime of tire slipping on his own head, and maybe he would find some chance to say that he bumped into her and staged the bitterness of tire slipping big drama.
Wu Jiao rubbed his chin, smiling, Yan'e secretly tugged at Ziqing's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother Ziqing, why are you laughing so terribly, sir?"
Ziqing laughed dryly. Indeed, he felt it too. I'm afraid the young master is thinking of some bad idea.
Wu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Ziqing, come here."
Ziqing hurried over and said, "Master."
Wu Jiu said: "You go to Junshang's side and walk around, and talk to Junshang..."
When Ziqing heard what Wu Jiu said, his face was full of surprise, and he said, "This... this..."
Wu Jiu said, "Just go."
Ziqing had no choice but to leave the house in a hurry and went to Qihou's bedroom. Qihou was in the bedroom, feeling a little restless. He hadn't seen Wu Jiao for a month, and he was like this again when he saw Wu Jiao The matter was really unpleasant. Thinking about Qi Hou's two lifetimes, he had never suffered such a loss at all, and now he felt ruthless and furious.
Ziqing came over now, upon hearing this, Marquis Qi hurriedly let him in and said, "But what's the matter, my lord?"
Ziqing immediately said, "Yes."
Ziqing told Wu Jiucha clearly, Qi Hou heard it, smiled coldly, and said, "Lu Ji, okay, she's fine, it's up to Gu's head!"
Seeing that Qihou was furious, Ziqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, the young master said... said..."
Qihou said: "Whatever he says, just say it."
Ziqing coughed and said, "Young master said, please trust Lu Ji with your favor."
When Qihou heard this, he was dumbfounded and said, "What?"
Ziqing said exactly what Wu Jiu had said, and asked Qi Hou to dote on Lu Ji and pretend to accept Lu Ji and her child. If Lu Ji gave birth to a son, she would be Qi's wife.
When Qi Hou heard this, he was naturally unwilling, but Wu Jiao seemed to have some way to want Qi Hou to cooperate with him in acting. Even if Qi Hou had a hundred reluctances in his heart, it was not easy to refute Wu Jiu's intention at this time, so he had to Said: "Do your best alone."
Seeing Qihou's expression, Ziqing's eyelids twitched, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "The little minister has returned to his life."
Qi Hou waved his hand, still looking unhappy.
Lu Ji is pregnant, maybe she will be the son. The news spread instantly. Wei Ji and Zheng Ji also heard about it, and they both felt that the enemy was approaching. Moreover, it was said that Marquis Qi liked Lu Ji very much. Stand as Mrs. Qi.
Qihou loves Lu Ji so much that he eats every meal with Lu Ji.
On this day, Marquis Qi called Lu Ji to have dinner together again. Lu Ji sat tenderly beside Qi Marquis, and heard the eunuch come in and report: "Your Majesty, Young Master Jiu has made a new porridge soup, and I specially present it to you." Your Majesty, taste it."
Qihou said "Oh?" and said with a smile: "Second brother is here, let's invite him in for dinner."
As soon as Lu Ji heard that Wu Jiu had come, she immediately looked a little bad. She wanted to ridicule Wu Jiao, and she rolled her eyes several times. The seed could be lent to her, so Lu Ji had to allow herself to have a tire slip. Of course, it was appropriate to place this charge on Wu Jiu's head.
Now that Wu Jiu came to the door by himself and made porridge, Lu Ji only needs to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge and then say that his stomach hurts, wouldn't it be fine?
Lu Ji smiled attentively, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Lu Ji likes porridge the most."
Qihou said with a smile: "Really, that beauty should eat more, don't starve the lonely young master."
Hearing Qihou's deep and gentle voice, Lu Ji suddenly felt a little flustered, smiled and punched Qihou's chest, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is so annoying."
Lu Ji was only concerned with coquettishness, and didn't pay attention to the seriousness and coldness in Qihou's eyes.
Soon Wu Jiu came in with a bowl of porridge, greeted Marquis Qi, and put the porridge on the table.
Lu Ji pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, Your Majesty, this is Lu Ji's favorite porridge. Lu Ji must drink more bowls."
Qihou just smiled and said: "Is that so, Gulai will serve it for you, don't burn you."
Qihou is the best at pretending to be gentle, this is his forte, seeing Qihou being gentle and considerate, Lu Ji immediately turned into soft fingers, and said with a coquettish smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, your Majesty treats Lu Ji very well."
Qi Hou smiled, handed the porridge bowl to Lu Ji, lightly picked Lu Ji's chin, and said in a low voice: "There are better ones, Lu Ji wants to try it tonight?"
Lu Ji blushed when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Please be merciful, Your Majesty."
Standing in the hall, Wu Jiu listened to those two people flirting, he really admired Qi Hou in his heart, Qi Hou is really a master at picking up girls, no wonder his kissing skills are so good, thinking of this, Wu Jiu quickly stepped down, cleared his throat, Inexplicably, I feel that my throat is a little dry and hoarse, and my stomach is also sour.
Qi Hou coaxed Lu Ji to eat two bowls. Lu Ji also deliberately drank a lot because she wanted to blame Wu Jiu. , cooking is better than others!"
She said, Qi Hou said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why don't you give me the title of Master Lishan, how nice it is!"
Wu Jiu sneered, and Qi Hou couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes, he just smiled lightly and said, "Oh? Is that so, Gu doesn't think it sounds good."
Qihou's tone suddenly turned cold, Lu Ji was taken aback, and quickly said: "It was Lu Ji who made a slip of the tongue. Thinking about it carefully, it really doesn't sound good."
Lu Ji was afraid that he would offend Qihou, and the loss outweighed the gain, so she quickly pretended to have a stomachache, and immediately said "Ouch!!", fell into Qihou's arms, and said, "Ah...I...my stomach hurts...this... This porridge is poisonous! It’s poisonous! You are so vicious, you...you want to murder you..."
Lu Ji fell down as she said, but she didn't fall into Qihou's arms, Qihou had already stood up, Lu Ji fell on the mat, was startled, and looked up at Qihou.
Qihou poured himself a bowl of porridge slowly, then slowly scooped it up with a small dagger, let it cool down, and put it in his mouth.
The porridge is bright in color, the rice grains are boiled, thick and thick, and there are some salty and fragrant ingredients in it. When you scoop it out, the ingredients are delicious. The taste is not only rice, but also some springy texture, but Those ingredients have been made out of shape by Wu Jiao, and I really don't know what they are.
It only makes people feel that the fragrance is abnormal, there is an indescribable umami taste, and the aftertaste is long.
Qi Hou took two sips, he wanted to put on a show, but the entrance was really amazing, he quickly drank another two sips, Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched, and then he smiled and said: "Poisonous? Why is it okay to drink alone? I'm afraid it's Lu Ji, you don't have this blessing?"
When Lu Ji heard this, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she was so nervous that she was about to die, she kept saying: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is really poisonous, Lu Ji... Lu Ji's stomach hurts, your Majesty, save Lu Ji quickly, Lu Ji is afraid How about, Your Majesty, hurry up and save the young master..."
Just as Lu Ji was talking, her face froze suddenly. She just pretended to have a stomachache just now, but now she broke out in a cold sweat, and her stomach was full of colic. It was really unbearable. pain.
Lu Ji's face turned pale in an instant, thinking that there might be something wrong with the bowl of porridge, but Qi Hou also drank it, but nothing happened.
Lu Ji mourned, "Your Majesty, Lu Ji... Lu Ji's stomach hurts, Your Majesty..."
This time it's not a fake, this time it's real, Lu Ji acted more sincerely, but Wu Jiu walked over slowly, knelt down and looked at Lu Ji with a smile, and said: "Naturally, your stomach is naturally It hurts, but not because your dummy is about to fall."
When Lu Ji heard this, his expression became even more ugly, and he said, "You...what are you talking about! I don't understand! It was you...you murdered Lu Ji, you wanted to murder the king's young master! Your intentions are so vicious! !"
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh? Young master? Where is it? Let me ask you, if you want to make a person lose face, what method do you think should be used? Torture? Blood dripping? Beheading and beheading?"
When he said a word, Lu Ji shuddered, but Wu Jiao shook his head and said, "No, that's too bloody, I don't like blood, there is another way to make you lose face, That's the best, I like fighting without blood, and you will realize it in a while."
As Wu Jiu said, Lu Ji's stomach was in severe pain, colic gurgling back and forth, and there was a feeling of blockage in his stomach, which was getting worse and worse, as if he was going to vomit it out.
Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Wu Jiao said, "You brought a lot of medicinal powder to Qi, so you must have prepared for it."
Lu Ji widened her eyes in fright and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Wu Jiao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay if you say you don't understand, after all, whoever hurts knows."
Wu Jiu said, pointing to the bowl of porridge beside him, and said with a smile: "There is nothing poisonous in this porridge, just some aquatic products, such as crab roe, scallops, full of ingredients, a proper bowl of fresh porridge, but These aquatic products are too cold, which conflicts with the medicinal powder you use every day, Lu Ji."
Lu Ji's whole body trembled, not only from being frightened, but also because of the extreme pain in her stomach, she stared at Wu Jiao with wide eyes.
Lu Ji pretended to be pregnant in order to keep her from menstruating, so she had to take those medicine powders every day, and there was a lot of persimmon powder in the medicine powder, so Wu Jiao came up with an idea.
Persimmon and seafood cannot be eaten together, because persimmon is a food for severe cold, and seafood is also a food for severe cold. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, these two things are too contradictory, especially for women who are already cold, it is not easy to eat together.
According to Western medicine, the high protein in crabs and the tannic acid in persimmons collide, which will coagulate in the stomach and become indigestible lumps. Qi Hou eats with Lu Ji these days, but Wu Jiao is different The way to think about seafood.
Lu Ji ate persimmons and crabs for several days without knowing it. She thought that she was not in good health recently, so she often suffered from diarrhea.
Today Lu Ji drank several bowls of seafood porridge in a row, and the abdominal pain was more severe and unbearable than before.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't know how long you can bear it. If you admit to your little trick, it's fine. If you don't admit it, you have to continue to bear it."
Lu Ji's abdominal pain was unbearable, and she had an urge to have diarrhea. She immediately understood what Wu Jiao meant. Wu Jiao wanted to make her look ugly in public. How could Lu Ji admit it? The tire slipped, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You are pestering me! Your Majesty, you want to make the decision for me. Lu Ji's stomach hurts so badly, I'm afraid it will be bad."
Qihou sneered, sat back on the table, looked at Lu Ji writhing in pain on the ground, sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Lu Ji has a slippery tire, why is there no blood? It's very strange."
Wu Jiao shook his head and said, "No, this time I've made up my mind."
He said, walked a few steps, looked back at his restaurant, and said to Ziqing: "Ziqing, come here."
Ziqing hurried up a few steps and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Go and check the medicine that Lu Ji has taken in the past few days, and take the medicine dregs to the doctor to see what's in it. She should be taking medicine every day recently."
Although Ziqing was a little suspicious, he still said, "Yes, Ziqing will go now."
He said, and left quickly, Yan'e didn't know why Wu Jiao asked Ziqing to check the medicine Lu Ji had taken, and said strangely, "My lord?"
Wu Jiao led Yan'e back slowly, shaking his wrist with a smile while walking, and said, "Yan'e, look at the lacquer bracelet on Lu Ji's wrist, how do you feel?"
Yan'e thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of the big red lacquer bracelet on Lu Ji's wrist. It was very conspicuous because it was made of red lacquer with intricate patterns carved on it. It looked noble, elegant, and extravagant.
This thing should have been brought by Lu Ji from the state of Lu, because among the many vassal states, the state of Lu has the oldest qualifications, the most luxurious palaces, and all kinds of lacquerware are also very particular.
Lacquer ware flourished with the introduction of Buddhism after the Western Jin Dynasty. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, lacquer ware was extremely precious. Wear it, or treat it as a supreme reward.
Because the quantity is very small, and the process is very complicated, first use the bronze tire shape as a base, and then apply red lacquer layer by layer. After applying one layer, wait for the lacquer to dry, and then paint again until the lacquer is thick. The bronze body is thickly wrapped. This process is hundreds or even thousands of times. Finally, the pattern is carved on it and then polished. If there is a slight error in the carved pattern, the bracelet is a defective product.
Because of the grand and complicated process and the gorgeous and luxurious finished product, lacquer is exclusive to nobles. Because it is exclusive, some special spices are mixed into the lacquer bracelet, so that after the bracelet is made, not only the color is beautiful, but also The taste is charming.
Just now Lu Ji pointed at Wu Jiao angrily, and what she raised was the hand with the bracelet on it. As soon as she raised her hand, Wu Jiao noticed it. Wu Jiu was a little concerned.
Wu Jiao is a cook, and his senses of smell and taste are extremely sensitive. He can not only taste the taste, but also smell it. Moreover, such a pungent smell is obviously the result of using too much force. It is the smell of musk...
In the big red lacquer bracelet, a lot of musk was specially added for the fragrance, the smell is very greasy, although it is mixed with other sweet smells, but Wu Jiu has a very good nose, and he can smell it as soon as he smells it. Pretty sure.
What does musk smell like?Zhao Feiyan, a famous beauty in history, likes to use musk mixed with other spices to make a pill called Xiangjiwan, and then stuff it into her navel. Xiangjiwan makes Zhao Feiyan smell fragrant all over her body. Its deodorant is also very famous.
But there is another famous place, that is, no matter how favored Zhao Feiyan is, there will be no heirs handed down at all. The key lies in the musk. The medicinal properties of musk are very overbearing. Wearing it for a long time will also cause women to have a miscarriage or even infertility.
Lu Ji said that she was pregnant, and within a month, less than two months, even the most powerful medical officer in Qi Palace had diagnosed that she was indeed pregnant. This period of time required careful maintenance, and Lu Ji was actually wearing a big red lacquered bracelet made of musk spice?
Just now when Lu Ji was talking to Wu Jiu, her attitude was extremely angry, her face turned blue, red and white back and forth, she was already blushing with anger and her neck was thick. Wu Jiao began to wonder if Lu Ji was really pregnant.
If she was really pregnant, he really didn't believe that Lu Ji would not be so angry that she would have a miscarriage.
Wu Jiu wanted to prove this point, and just now he asked Ziqing to investigate this issue, but in fact he killed two birds with one stone, firstly, because he really wanted to know whether Lu Ji had done something wrong to show her pregnancy, and secondly, Ziqing was the Marquis of Qi. People around him, let Ziqing do this matter, and the matter is of great importance, Ziqing will definitely tell Qihou.
When Wu Jiu brought Yan'e back to the palace, he hadn't returned to his own house, and met Father Qing head-on.
Father Qing's face was very ugly, obviously he was called over by Qihou for the fourth time and frowned. After all, Qihou had just suffered from Lu Ji's side, and he was still thinking about whether the child should stay or not, and when did he suffer? Such a big loss, naturally he had to call Father Qing over and frowned.
Today, Marquis Qi approached Father Qing again to discuss the cession of the land, and he yelled loudly at him. The key is that Father Qing could not retaliate. He had sent someone back to report this month. What Duke Lu meant was to let him go around and try to Do not cede land.
Such a big problem fell on Qing's father, and Qing's father also wanted to turn around, but every time he was caught by Qihou, he would be ridiculed for a while, and he was already full of anger.
Father Qing was arrested today, and only then did I hear that it was because Lu Ji was secretly pregnant with Qihou's child, that's why Qihou was so angry, always looking for his own bad luck, and suppressed him vigorously.
As a result, Father Qing was both happy and angry. He was happy that Lu Ji was considered a nobleman of their Lu Kingdom. If she really conceived the child of Marquis Qi, ask Duke Lu to give Lu Ji a daughter of the country, and then The feudal lords marry, and maybe they will give birth to a son in the future, and Qi will have the blood of Lu, so that it will be convenient to control Qi in the future.
But what was indignant was that Lu Ji acted alone, and she didn't come to tell herself after she was pregnant with Qi's seed. Obviously she wanted to fly solo. Lu Ji was also smart, knowing that Father Qing had nothing to do with Qi Hou, I'm afraid Qing's father was hurting himself because of the land cession, so he never contacted Qing's father.
Qing's father originally wanted to use Lu Ji as a pawn, but the pawn turned over and threw off the coach, and even used the coach as a stepping stone. How could Qing's father not be angry?
On the one hand, he was angry with Qihou's attitude, and on the other hand, he was angry that the pawn turned over. Father Qing was angry now, when he saw Wu Jiu, he smiled coldly and walked over.
Seeing him approaching, Wu Jiao saw that he could not avoid it, so he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Lu."
Father Qing didn't bow his hands either, and said with a strange smile, "Yo, Mr. Qi!"
He said, laughed again, and said: "You are the son of Qi, Qingfu is the son of Lu, we are both sons, do you think it is a coincidence? After all, Lu Ji has already married Qi Gong, We two young masters, why not..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Wu Jiu's face. Wu Jiu was still angry. Although he had already pouted Lu Ji, his heart was inexplicably angry. Qing's father was clearly here to find fault. Wu Jiu said, "Crack!" He opened the hand that he stretched out at once.
Father Qing was taken aback, he didn't expect Wu Jiu to beat him, Yan'e was usually soft and looked very easy to bully, but now he said sharply: "Mr. Lu, please be more careful!"
Father Qing laughed, as if he had heard some joke, and said, "I'm going to be careful? Lu Jiu, what are you? Don't be so arrogant! The thing you promised Lu Gong that day, is it worth it? Resent me for shouting about your identity and making everyone in the world laugh at you! I see how noble you will be then, I'm afraid you will be begging me humble..."
Father Qing's attitude was very arrogant. When he said this, he saw that the palace maid behind Wu Jiu suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a frightened expression on her face, and then she smiled and said, "Why, are you scared now? Don't worry, I am not a son. Those who hold grudges, you and your little palace lady, it is not impossible to go back with me now and serve me well."
As he was speaking, he heard a low voice behind him, saying, "What does Mr. Lu want to do?!"
Father Qing was taken aback, and looked back quickly, his face turned pale with fright, which was even more exaggerated than Yan'e's surprised expression just now, his legs softened suddenly, and he even gave a big gift as a foreign minister.
It turned out that the person standing behind him and drinking in a low voice was none other than Qihou. Qihou hadn't changed out of his black court robes. He was obviously dressed just now when he was discussing the cession of the land with him. Father Qing didn't expect Qihou to follow him. And obviously all the words he said just now were heard by Marquis Qi.
Qi Hou looked down at Father Qing coldly and said, "Young Master Lu, I just asked you a question, why do you have to do such a great gift?"
Father Qing bite the bullet and said, "Grand Qi was a hero at the time, so... Father Qing couldn't help but admire him, so... he wanted to do this great gift."
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "Okay, I really hope that Mr. Lu will not make one thing out of the open and one in the dark. Gu Ke hates such self-righteous and petty tricks the most."
Father Qing was sweating profusely, wiped it again and again, and said, "Yes, what Duke Qi said is true. Father Qing also hates this kind of person."
Wu Jiao answered calmly, "This kind of person is not only disgusting to new students, he's even worse than a pig or a dog."
Qing's father was scolded by Wu Jiao, his face was red with anger, but he didn't dare to get angry, and said with an apologetic smile, "Yes."
Qi Hou said coldly again: "Okay, Mr. Lu is tired from negotiating the land cession, so go back and rest earlier, and come back to discuss it again in a few days."
Father Qing's face turned blue when he heard this, and he went to discuss with him every now and then, obviously to be scolded, but he didn't dare to refuse, and said repeatedly: "Yes... yes... the foreign minister resigned."
After Qing's father finished speaking, he quickly ran away. Wu Jiao saw his back and was still wiping off his cold sweat.
As soon as Father Qing left, Marquis Qi changed his expression and said, "Second Brother..."
But Wu Jiu immediately raised his hands and cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Jiu still has something to do, so I will take my leave first."
Before Qihou could say a word, Wu Jiu was about to leave, Qihou quickly grabbed his wrist to prevent him from leaving, and said, "Second brother, wait a while, I have something to say to you."
Wu Jiu pulled out his wrist, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Qihou sighed helplessly, and said: "Gu Fang just heard about it, and it's bad luck for Lu Ji to go looking for you."
As soon as this was mentioned, Wu Jiu felt baffled, Lu Ji didn't seek bad luck for Wei Ji, nor did he seek bad luck for the favored Zheng Ji, but went to the small restaurant to find bad luck for himself.
That is to say, it is now the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and there is no place to stop in the court except for access control, road sleeping and famous halls.Today's palace is actually more like a big mansion, and there is no discipline in going in and out. It is not like the strict Qing palace drama that many people imagined.If that's the case, there were not so many cases in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States that the king of Qi was beheaded by a minister at this moment, and the king of Song was punched in the head by a general at that time, and his front teeth hit the door frame, and he was directly beaten to death.
Lu Ji is an envoy, and there are no restrictions on coming in and out. In this era that still pays attention to superficial etiquette, no matter what country it is, envoys are treated with courtesy. If they are not polite, they may be caught by other countries. After being ridiculed, those who have good things will go to war directly with these trivial things, and the coalition forces of various countries have also happened.
Lu Ji went out to look for Wu Jiu. At that time, Marquis Qi was still taunting Father Qing, so he didn't know. Sure enough, after Ziqing came back, he went to check Lu Ji's medicine and sent someone to inform Marquis Qi.
Although Ziqing didn't understand it very well, he told Qihou the whole thing, and the conversation between Lu Ji and Wu Jiu also told the whole story.
Qihou is a smart person, so when he said that, he felt that Lu Ji's pregnancy seemed a bit tricky, and Wu Jiu even specifically mentioned a bracelet.
Qihou didn't pay much attention to women's decorations, but vaguely remembered that Lu Ji was indeed wearing a big red bracelet, but he didn't know what it meant.
Ziqing went to check Lu Ji's medicine now, but he hasn't come back yet, so Qihou and Wu Jiu still don't know if there is anything tricky in Lu Ji's medicine.
Qi Hou pulled Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, can you tell Gu what's wrong with Lu Ji's bracelet?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu laughed, and deliberately said, "Your Majesty's news is so well-informed?"
Qi Hou's face froze, and then he also smiled and said, "Isn't that what the second brother meant? The lonely person has already lost his mind for the second brother. If the second brother is unwilling, can he come and tell the lonely?"
Wu Jiu smiled, did not deny it, but raised his wrist to gesture, and said, "Your Majesty, next time you pamper a beauty, you must remember to see if there is any special item on her body, Lu Ji's wrist The red lacquer bracelet worn on the top is not only expensive, but also contains a lot of musk spices, if wearing this object, the majesty of the emperor can also make Lu Ji pregnant with Liujia, so Jiao is also admirable."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi's face froze, and then his face was filled with anger, and he said, "Second brother, what do you mean, Lu Ji is a fake happy pulse?"
Wu Jiao nodded and said, "Nine out of ten chances, but the last one or two depends on Ziqing's report when he comes back."
Qi Hou's face was even more ugly, Lu Ji was so bold that she lied to herself with a fake pregnancy.
Wu Jiu said again: "Also, Your Majesty will send someone to check Lu Ji's whereabouts in the past few days to see if she has come into contact with any special people, so that I can confirm what Jiu is thinking."
Qihou immediately said: "Okay, I'll let someone investigate."
Wu Jiu said, "That Jiao has resigned."
Qi Hou hurriedly grabbed Wu Jiu's wrist again, and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen my second brother for a full month, I miss him so much, how about second brother making that wonton for Gu today?"
Wu Jiao suddenly smiled, that smile dazzled Qihou's eyes, Yan'e was taken aback for a moment, then thought to himself, the young master is really born well, smart and wise, it is a blessing for me to follow such a master up.
Qi Hou was almost stunned, and Wu Jiu said softly, "Let's wait until your Majesty actually hugs the son or princess."
As he spoke, he turned his head and left. Qi Hou was stunned, and then he looked helpless, and said in a distant voice: "Second brother, pay attention to your body, don't be too tired."
Wu Jiu didn't look back, but said lightly: "Your Majesty's beauty, don't come to find Jiu's bad luck every other day, it will be fine."
Wu Jiu went back to the room, and after a long time, he was impatient with waiting, Ziqing came back and said, "My lord, Ziqing went to check the medicine that Lu Ji took these days, but Lu Ji seemed very Be careful, nothing was left behind, so Ziqing boldly went to check Lu Ji's room."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, Ziqing was able to do this, Ziqing practiced martial arts, so naturally he was good at martial arts, if it was Yan'e who went there, it would be impossible for him to boldly enter Lu Ji's room.
Wu Jiu said, "Did no one find out?"
Ziqing said: "No, there is no one in Lu Ji's room. Ziqing found something, wrapped it carefully in a cloth, and tied it with black silk."
Thanks to the lack of strict guards in the palace in this era, Ziqing actually sneaked into Lu Ji's room and found a cloth bag. Ziqing was a careful person, and he found that there was still a hair tied on the cloth bag, as if It is a general mark.
So Ziqing carefully untied the fine hair, and then opened the cloth bag. There was some powder inside, but nothing could be seen. Ziqing carefully got some powder and brought it back, rewrapped the remaining powder, and wrapped the silk hair again. Fasten it, and it's back.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu immediately said, "Show it to me."
Ziqing took out a cloth bag made of small handkerchiefs, unfolded it carefully, and handed it to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiao stretched out his hand to take it, and there was some light yellow powder scattered on the veil, Wu Jiao took it to his nose and smelled it, thinking it was some kind of medicinal material, but when he smelled it carefully, there was indeed medicinal material in it, but the smell was really weird. Because most of the sweet and sour taste is mixed in, the cook Wu Jiu is very concerned about this taste.
Wu Jiao sniffed it carefully, and even reached out his hand to touch some on the tip of his tongue. His action scared Ziqing and Yan'e to exclaim "Master!", and they all rushed to grab it.
Wu Jiao was almost taken aback by their actions, and then he laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, it's not poison, and it's sweet and sour, and it tastes good."
Seeing that Wu Jiu was fine, Ziqing and Yan'e breathed a sigh of relief this time, Yan'e wiped off his sweat and said, "Master, you scared the servant girl to death!"
Ziqing quickly said, "This...what is this? Young Master."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I can't tell the difference between the medicinal materials and what I do more, but the sweet and sour taste is the powder ground from persimmons. I seem to have guessed the general effect."
Ziqing and Yan'e looked at each other in dismay for a moment, and neither of them could guess it. Yan'e said, "Psimmon? That's a good thing to pay tribute to."
Wu Jiu smiled, it is indeed the case. It is recorded in the "Book of Rites. Nei Ze" that persimmons were not artificially planted in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. They were all wild persimmons, so they were very rare, and because the soup of persimmons was Golden, it looks very luxurious and festive, so persimmon was a tribute in this era, and it was clearly recorded among the 31 kinds of delicacies that princes and emperors ate daily.
When Wu Jiao saw the powder mixed with persimmon powder and traditional Chinese medicine, he immediately understood, and he was even more sure that Lu Ji was not pregnant, but just played some tricks.
At this time, Qihou's eunuch also came over. Wu Jiao asked Qihou to send someone to check Luji's itinerary these days, and Qihou sent people to report to Wu Jiu.
The eunuch said that Lu Ji hardly ever went out for a month, and basically didn't see anyone. He usually saw the eunuchs and maids around him. It is worth mentioning that those eunuchs were indeed eunuchs, and it was impossible for them Lu Ji is pregnant, and another thing is to meet a medical officer, who diagnoses that Lu Ji is pregnant.
During this period, Lu Ji and Qingfu, who was an envoy of the State of Lu, did not meet each other. It can be said that if Lu Ji had not had a relationship with Qihou and became pregnant, then Lu Ji would have no chance of becoming pregnant.
When Wu Jiu heard this, he became more certain of his thoughts. He rewrapped the handkerchief, handed it to the eunuch, and said with a smile, "Please submit it to your lord. If you don't understand it, let your lord find a medical officer to see it." , you can tell at a glance."
When the eunuch heard this, he said yes again and again, and said, "Yes, my minister will go and answer."
As soon as the eunuch left, Ziqing and Yan'e couldn't hold back seeing Wu Jiu's smug smile, and Yan'e hurriedly said, "My lord, what's going on?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, Lu Ji really doesn't have a happy pulse, but she used some tricks to deceive the emperor."
Yan E said, "What method?"
Wu Jiu said: "It's the package of medicine powder just now. If I remember correctly, Lu Ji asked the medical officer of Qi State to come over to take the pulse because he was out of the moon and hadn't had menstruation yet. The medical officer concluded that Lu Ji was happy. pulse."
Ziqing and Yan'e nodded quickly, and Wu Jiu said, "This is just Lu Ji's plan. The medicine powder in that package should be the medicine powder to delay Lu Ji's menstruation."
When Ziqing and Yan'e heard this, they were both a little confused. Ziqing is a young man who doesn't understand women's menstruation at all, and Yan'e is still young and doesn't understand this matter. Strange.
Wu Jiu actually didn't understand it very well, but because he used to cook, he naturally studied some medicinal foods. Although persimmons are delicious, they are very cold in nature, so they must not be eaten too much, and they are not very good for women. Things, if a woman eats too many persimmons before menstruation, then the severe cold will affect her menstruation, making the menstruation wrong and not serious.
In fact, in ancient times, many prostitutes used persimmons as contraception.
There was a lot of persimmon powder in that packet of medicine powder, Wu Jiu just licked it, the main taste was sweet and sour, indeed there was some bitter taste, I don't know what kind of medicine powder it was, but the effect must be to delay her menstruation.
As a result, Lu Ji didn't have menstruation, and medicine was not developed in this era, and the medical officer didn't collude with Lu Ji, but after asking about Lu Ji's menstruation and some symptoms, it was naturally concluded that Lu Ji was pregnant.
Wu Jiao smiled coldly and said, "Unfortunately, she is just a smart person."
Lu Ji's medicine powder might have been formulated long ago. Before she came to Qi, she had already made up her wishful thinking, but Lu Ji took great pains, so she wasn't very smart after all.
Lu Ji wore a red musk lacquer bracelet on her wrist, probably it was given to Lu Ji by Duke Lu last time. After all, although Lu Ji was a nobleman, she was a concubine, and she did not have this kind of lacquerware in her position.
Lu Ji may only think that the lacquer bracelet is beautiful, luxurious, and has a bewitching fragrance. She never thought that this lacquer bracelet exposed herself, and it contained a lot of musk. If she could still get pregnant with this lacquer bracelet, Wu Jiao I really admire her.
A lacquer bracelet is not inevitable, but with this packet of medicine powder and Lu Ji's itinerary for this month, Wu Jiu is very sure that Lu Ji is definitely not pregnant, but just playing a trick on Qihou.
In this way, the problem came again, Wu Jiao smiled and touched his chin, Lu Ji is now pretending to be pregnant, but she can't get in touch with other men to cuckold Qi Hou, so there is only one way, of course It's a bitter trick, pretending to be slippery, in this way, maybe he can pretend to be pitiful and arouse Qi Hou's sympathy.
Wu Jiu felt that after such a taunt by himself, Lu Ji might be charged with the crime of tire slipping on his own head, and maybe he would find some chance to say that he bumped into her and staged the bitterness of tire slipping big drama.
Wu Jiao rubbed his chin, smiling, Yan'e secretly tugged at Ziqing's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother Ziqing, why are you laughing so terribly, sir?"
Ziqing laughed dryly. Indeed, he felt it too. I'm afraid the young master is thinking of some bad idea.
Wu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Ziqing, come here."
Ziqing hurried over and said, "Master."
Wu Jiu said: "You go to Junshang's side and walk around, and talk to Junshang..."
When Ziqing heard what Wu Jiu said, his face was full of surprise, and he said, "This... this..."
Wu Jiu said, "Just go."
Ziqing had no choice but to leave the house in a hurry and went to Qihou's bedroom. Qihou was in the bedroom, feeling a little restless. He hadn't seen Wu Jiao for a month, and he was like this again when he saw Wu Jiao The matter was really unpleasant. Thinking about Qi Hou's two lifetimes, he had never suffered such a loss at all, and now he felt ruthless and furious.
Ziqing came over now, upon hearing this, Marquis Qi hurriedly let him in and said, "But what's the matter, my lord?"
Ziqing immediately said, "Yes."
Ziqing told Wu Jiucha clearly, Qi Hou heard it, smiled coldly, and said, "Lu Ji, okay, she's fine, it's up to Gu's head!"
Seeing that Qihou was furious, Ziqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, the young master said... said..."
Qihou said: "Whatever he says, just say it."
Ziqing coughed and said, "Young master said, please trust Lu Ji with your favor."
When Qihou heard this, he was dumbfounded and said, "What?"
Ziqing said exactly what Wu Jiu had said, and asked Qi Hou to dote on Lu Ji and pretend to accept Lu Ji and her child. If Lu Ji gave birth to a son, she would be Qi's wife.
When Qi Hou heard this, he was naturally unwilling, but Wu Jiao seemed to have some way to want Qi Hou to cooperate with him in acting. Even if Qi Hou had a hundred reluctances in his heart, it was not easy to refute Wu Jiu's intention at this time, so he had to Said: "Do your best alone."
Seeing Qihou's expression, Ziqing's eyelids twitched, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "The little minister has returned to his life."
Qi Hou waved his hand, still looking unhappy.
Lu Ji is pregnant, maybe she will be the son. The news spread instantly. Wei Ji and Zheng Ji also heard about it, and they both felt that the enemy was approaching. Moreover, it was said that Marquis Qi liked Lu Ji very much. Stand as Mrs. Qi.
Qihou loves Lu Ji so much that he eats every meal with Lu Ji.
On this day, Marquis Qi called Lu Ji to have dinner together again. Lu Ji sat tenderly beside Qi Marquis, and heard the eunuch come in and report: "Your Majesty, Young Master Jiu has made a new porridge soup, and I specially present it to you." Your Majesty, taste it."
Qihou said "Oh?" and said with a smile: "Second brother is here, let's invite him in for dinner."
As soon as Lu Ji heard that Wu Jiu had come, she immediately looked a little bad. She wanted to ridicule Wu Jiao, and she rolled her eyes several times. The seed could be lent to her, so Lu Ji had to allow herself to have a tire slip. Of course, it was appropriate to place this charge on Wu Jiu's head.
Now that Wu Jiu came to the door by himself and made porridge, Lu Ji only needs to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge and then say that his stomach hurts, wouldn't it be fine?
Lu Ji smiled attentively, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Lu Ji likes porridge the most."
Qihou said with a smile: "Really, that beauty should eat more, don't starve the lonely young master."
Hearing Qihou's deep and gentle voice, Lu Ji suddenly felt a little flustered, smiled and punched Qihou's chest, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is so annoying."
Lu Ji was only concerned with coquettishness, and didn't pay attention to the seriousness and coldness in Qihou's eyes.
Soon Wu Jiu came in with a bowl of porridge, greeted Marquis Qi, and put the porridge on the table.
Lu Ji pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, Your Majesty, this is Lu Ji's favorite porridge. Lu Ji must drink more bowls."
Qihou just smiled and said: "Is that so, Gulai will serve it for you, don't burn you."
Qihou is the best at pretending to be gentle, this is his forte, seeing Qihou being gentle and considerate, Lu Ji immediately turned into soft fingers, and said with a coquettish smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, your Majesty treats Lu Ji very well."
Qi Hou smiled, handed the porridge bowl to Lu Ji, lightly picked Lu Ji's chin, and said in a low voice: "There are better ones, Lu Ji wants to try it tonight?"
Lu Ji blushed when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Please be merciful, Your Majesty."
Standing in the hall, Wu Jiu listened to those two people flirting, he really admired Qi Hou in his heart, Qi Hou is really a master at picking up girls, no wonder his kissing skills are so good, thinking of this, Wu Jiu quickly stepped down, cleared his throat, Inexplicably, I feel that my throat is a little dry and hoarse, and my stomach is also sour.
Qi Hou coaxed Lu Ji to eat two bowls. Lu Ji also deliberately drank a lot because she wanted to blame Wu Jiu. , cooking is better than others!"
She said, Qi Hou said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why don't you give me the title of Master Lishan, how nice it is!"
Wu Jiu sneered, and Qi Hou couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes, he just smiled lightly and said, "Oh? Is that so, Gu doesn't think it sounds good."
Qihou's tone suddenly turned cold, Lu Ji was taken aback, and quickly said: "It was Lu Ji who made a slip of the tongue. Thinking about it carefully, it really doesn't sound good."
Lu Ji was afraid that he would offend Qihou, and the loss outweighed the gain, so she quickly pretended to have a stomachache, and immediately said "Ouch!!", fell into Qihou's arms, and said, "Ah...I...my stomach hurts...this... This porridge is poisonous! It’s poisonous! You are so vicious, you...you want to murder you..."
Lu Ji fell down as she said, but she didn't fall into Qihou's arms, Qihou had already stood up, Lu Ji fell on the mat, was startled, and looked up at Qihou.
Qihou poured himself a bowl of porridge slowly, then slowly scooped it up with a small dagger, let it cool down, and put it in his mouth.
The porridge is bright in color, the rice grains are boiled, thick and thick, and there are some salty and fragrant ingredients in it. When you scoop it out, the ingredients are delicious. The taste is not only rice, but also some springy texture, but Those ingredients have been made out of shape by Wu Jiao, and I really don't know what they are.
It only makes people feel that the fragrance is abnormal, there is an indescribable umami taste, and the aftertaste is long.
Qi Hou took two sips, he wanted to put on a show, but the entrance was really amazing, he quickly drank another two sips, Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched, and then he smiled and said: "Poisonous? Why is it okay to drink alone? I'm afraid it's Lu Ji, you don't have this blessing?"
When Lu Ji heard this, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she was so nervous that she was about to die, she kept saying: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is really poisonous, Lu Ji... Lu Ji's stomach hurts, your Majesty, save Lu Ji quickly, Lu Ji is afraid How about, Your Majesty, hurry up and save the young master..."
Just as Lu Ji was talking, her face froze suddenly. She just pretended to have a stomachache just now, but now she broke out in a cold sweat, and her stomach was full of colic. It was really unbearable. pain.
Lu Ji's face turned pale in an instant, thinking that there might be something wrong with the bowl of porridge, but Qi Hou also drank it, but nothing happened.
Lu Ji mourned, "Your Majesty, Lu Ji... Lu Ji's stomach hurts, Your Majesty..."
This time it's not a fake, this time it's real, Lu Ji acted more sincerely, but Wu Jiu walked over slowly, knelt down and looked at Lu Ji with a smile, and said: "Naturally, your stomach is naturally It hurts, but not because your dummy is about to fall."
When Lu Ji heard this, his expression became even more ugly, and he said, "You...what are you talking about! I don't understand! It was you...you murdered Lu Ji, you wanted to murder the king's young master! Your intentions are so vicious! !"
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh? Young master? Where is it? Let me ask you, if you want to make a person lose face, what method do you think should be used? Torture? Blood dripping? Beheading and beheading?"
When he said a word, Lu Ji shuddered, but Wu Jiao shook his head and said, "No, that's too bloody, I don't like blood, there is another way to make you lose face, That's the best, I like fighting without blood, and you will realize it in a while."
As Wu Jiu said, Lu Ji's stomach was in severe pain, colic gurgling back and forth, and there was a feeling of blockage in his stomach, which was getting worse and worse, as if he was going to vomit it out.
Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Wu Jiao said, "You brought a lot of medicinal powder to Qi, so you must have prepared for it."
Lu Ji widened her eyes in fright and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Wu Jiao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay if you say you don't understand, after all, whoever hurts knows."
Wu Jiu said, pointing to the bowl of porridge beside him, and said with a smile: "There is nothing poisonous in this porridge, just some aquatic products, such as crab roe, scallops, full of ingredients, a proper bowl of fresh porridge, but These aquatic products are too cold, which conflicts with the medicinal powder you use every day, Lu Ji."
Lu Ji's whole body trembled, not only from being frightened, but also because of the extreme pain in her stomach, she stared at Wu Jiao with wide eyes.
Lu Ji pretended to be pregnant in order to keep her from menstruating, so she had to take those medicine powders every day, and there was a lot of persimmon powder in the medicine powder, so Wu Jiao came up with an idea.
Persimmon and seafood cannot be eaten together, because persimmon is a food for severe cold, and seafood is also a food for severe cold. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, these two things are too contradictory, especially for women who are already cold, it is not easy to eat together.
According to Western medicine, the high protein in crabs and the tannic acid in persimmons collide, which will coagulate in the stomach and become indigestible lumps. Qi Hou eats with Lu Ji these days, but Wu Jiao is different The way to think about seafood.
Lu Ji ate persimmons and crabs for several days without knowing it. She thought that she was not in good health recently, so she often suffered from diarrhea.
Today Lu Ji drank several bowls of seafood porridge in a row, and the abdominal pain was more severe and unbearable than before.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't know how long you can bear it. If you admit to your little trick, it's fine. If you don't admit it, you have to continue to bear it."
Lu Ji's abdominal pain was unbearable, and she had an urge to have diarrhea. She immediately understood what Wu Jiao meant. Wu Jiao wanted to make her look ugly in public. How could Lu Ji admit it? The tire slipped, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You are pestering me! Your Majesty, you want to make the decision for me. Lu Ji's stomach hurts so badly, I'm afraid it will be bad."
Qihou sneered, sat back on the table, looked at Lu Ji writhing in pain on the ground, sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Lu Ji has a slippery tire, why is there no blood? It's very strange."
