Chapter 63
Good luck. "
The two chatted for a long time, and Xing Gong didn't go back until they had lunch at noon.
Wu Jiu was also a little strange, this Mr. Xing always ran towards him, but he didn't seem to be really lewd, for some reason.
Now it's early spring, and the flowers in the garden seem to be in full bloom. Looking at those flowers, Wu Jiao panicked and wanted to pick them up and make them into pancakes.
Wu Jiao wanted to eat flower pancakes, not to mention him, Ziqing and Yan'e also wanted to eat them, so when Wu Jiao suggested, Yan'e was the first to respond, saying: "Okay, son, let Ziqing take care of you, my maidservant." Go find some flowers."
Ziqing heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't ask himself to pick flowers, which was enough, Wu Jiao quickly asked Yan'e to pick flowers, and then took Ziqing to the dining room to make some preparations, and then directly make pancakes when the flowers came .
The two groups split up, Yan'e carried a small basket, and went to the garden to pick flowers in the garden.
Xing Hou had nothing to do, so when he came out for a walk, he saw Yan'e who was picking flowers. Yan'e was wearing pink clothes and carrying a small basket. When no one was watching, she was not serious at all. Smiling and full of interest, he was picking flowers and throwing them into small baskets.
Xing Hou looked at Yan'e's "ruthless" flower-picking action, and thought it was cute, so he walked over, but Yan'e didn't see him. After all, Xing Hou was also a martial arts practitioner, and his steps were very light. Suddenly, a bouquet of flowers "Wow!" The bag fell down, half of it landed in the small basket, and it generally fell on Yan'e's head and face, as if it was raining flower petals.
Yan'e was taken aback for a moment, turned around and saw that it was Marquis Xing, and hurriedly bowed cautiously, saying, "Greetings, Duke Xing."
Xing Hou waved his hand and said: "You are the girl next to Mr. Qi, I remember you, by the way, what is your name, can you tell me?"
Yan'e lowered her head and said, "My servant Yan'e."
Xing Hou smiled and said, "Can you write? Which two characters are they?"
Yan'e showed the writing on the ground to Xing Hou. Xing Hou smiled and said, "This name sounds really nice. You can also write. Did Young Master Qi teach you?"
Yan'e said: "Back to Duke Xing, the servant girl learned it by herself."
Yan'e was respectful on the surface, but complained inwardly, disliking Xing Hou for getting in the way and hindering her from picking flowers.
Xing Hou smiled and said, "Miss Yan'e, what are you doing with all these flowers?"
Yan'e replied honestly: "Young master is going to make flower cakes, and the servant girl will make some flowers for you."
When Xing Hou heard it, he seemed to be interested, and said, "Flower cake? Flowers can also be used to make pancakes? This is the first time I've heard of it. Miss Yan'e, do you mind if I go with the girl to see and see?"
Yan'e said in her heart that she minded, but she didn't dare to say it out of her mouth, she just said: "Mr. Xing is serious. Please, Mr. Xing."
Wu Jiu was in the dining room when he saw Yan'e came back with a basket full of flowers, but there was someone behind, who turned out to be the king of Xing country, and walked into the dining room.
The cooks didn't know Marquis Xing, but Wu Jiao did. He was taken aback and said quickly, "Mr. Xing, Yan'e doesn't know the rules in this filthy dining room, so I ask Mr. Xing to move it."
Xing Hou quickly said: "Young lady Yan'e, I asked her to lead the way. What is filthy or not, meals are always made here. I heard that you can make cakes with flowers. I was so curious, so I came to have a look." .”
Not only did Xing Hou not leave, but he also rolled up his sleeves and made flower cakes with Wu Jiu.
Firstly, it was because Xinghou was young, and he was a proton in another country before he came to the throne, so he didn't have so many aristocratic airs, and secondly, because Xingguo was located in the frontier, the folk customs were relatively open, which made Xinghou have no airs.
Xing Hou didn't realize that the dining room was a place that was not on the table, so he rolled up his sleeves and started to learn in a decent manner.
Wu Jiao taught Xing Hou how to make flower cakes. Yan'e's eyelids twitched, she stood beside her, and whispered to Ziqing, "Look, I said Mr. Xing has good intentions for our son, and he is also glib. Brother Qing, look."
Ziqing saw it in the morning, and because of Yan'e's misleading, Ziqing gradually felt that this was indeed the case. Otherwise, why would Xinghou come to the dining room to cook?
During dinner that day, Wu Jiu specially brought some flower cakes to Qihou. Qihou had just come out of Lu bedroom, and to be honest, he was not in a very high mood today.
Because of Yi Ya's outstanding achievements, and because the honest and upright Marquis Xing used a lot of precious medicinal materials for Yi Ya, Yi Ya will definitely not die. Peng asked to support the Huben army that was going to meet Xing Guo.
How could Qihou not know the tricks in Gongsun Xipeng's stomach? Qihou has worked with him for so many years, and he has long remembered that Gongsun Xipeng is a stubborn bull who sticks to the end.
It was for this reason that Qihou asked him to swear before, but now Yi Yaming is a hero on the face of it, and he was seriously injured.An arrow hit Qi Hou, and Guan Zhong, who almost made Qi Hou miss the throne, was still alive, and he worshiped the doctor. Qi Hou had no reason to order Yi Ya harshly, so as not to hurt the hearts of the people of insight in the world.
Qihou had no choice but to ask Gongsun Xipeng to pick up Yi Ya. Gongsun Xipeng thanked him again and again when he left, but the more he thanked, the more uncomfortable Qihou felt.
Just now in Lu's bedroom, they were still discussing the merits and deeds of the army. Yi Ya must be the first one, so how can Qi Hou be happy?
But Qi Hou used him at that time, so he was not a person who could not afford to lose, since he made a bet, he had to admit it, otherwise he would not dare to make this bet.
When Marquis Qi came out of Lu's bedroom, he heard that Wu Jiu had come, and brought flowers and pancakes.
Qi Hou hurried into the small bedroom, and sure enough, he saw Wu Jiu. Wu Jiu waited for a while, and when he saw Qi Hou, he immediately saluted and said, "My lord."
Qihou said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite."
As he spoke, he took off his cloak, tossed it to the eunuch, and walked in quickly, that gesture was very handsome.
Qihou strode in and said with a smile: "Gu heard that the second brother brought delicious food to Gu, didn't he?"
Seeing his happy expression, Wu Jiu thought that Qi Hou was really a foodie who had such a soft spot for delicious food, his eyelids twitched, and he said with a smile: "Exactly, I just made some flower cakes, and they are still hot." Now, Jiu vaguely remembered the last time Jun Shang said he liked this dish, so he brought it to Jun Shang."
Qihou looked at the table, and there was indeed a plate of flower cakes, which were very beautifully made. He immediately reached out and picked one up, pinched it and stuffed it into his mouth, bit half of it in one bite, and said with a smile: "It's really fragrant, second brother's The craftsmanship is really getting better and better.”
Wu Jiao was modest, and said: "It's not all Jiu's craft, and Mr. Lao Xing will help."
When Qi Hou heard this, the flower cake he bit into was a bit big, but it all got stuck in his throat, and he almost choked to death. Like a refugee who hasn't eaten for years.
The eunuch next to him also had his eyelids twitching wildly, and quickly poured water for Qihou. Qihou took a sip of water before swallowing the choking pancake, holding half of it in his hand. Eat well, or not eat well.
Qihou coughed and said, "Why is Mr. Xing helping?"
Wu Jiu didn't doubt him, and told Xing Hou how to make flower cakes, Qi Hou's teeth were itchy, so he still taught him?Wouldn't that touch Wu Jiu's hand?
Qi Hou said sourly: "Xing Gong is a distinguished guest of Qi State, how can the second brother make Xing Gong tired?"
Wu Jiu said, "Yes, Jiu didn't take this into account, please punish me, Your Majesty."
Qi Hou coughed and said, "Just pay attention."
Wu Jiu responded again, Qihou put down the tasteless flower cake, and then said with a smile: "Come, second brother, sit here."
After Wu Jiu thanked him, he sat down and the two sat on the table. Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother, do you still remember the little wonton that Gu talked about last time? Second brother has never had time to make it for Gu. Try it, Gu Ke misses it very much."
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, Little Wonton?How long ago did this happen, how could Qi Hou still remember it.
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother's bowl of small wontons is so delicious, it made the third child's appetite suddenly whetted, and Gu also wants to try it."
Qi Hou said it was so pitiful that he couldn't even eat a bowl of wonton. Wu Jiao had no choice but to twitch his eyelids and said, "Yes, Jiu will make it for you tomorrow."
Qihou said with a smile: "The relationship is good, can I have breakfast tomorrow?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Everything is according to your majesty's orders."
Qihou smiled and stretched out his hand, stroked Wu Jiu's broken hair lightly, pinned it to his ear, felt that Wu Jiu was touched by his ear, trembled suddenly, then laughed, and said: "Second Brother Wan Don't meet Gu, do Gu and Second Brother still need to see each other?"
Wu Jiu hurriedly made a slight mistake, touched his ears, and always felt that they were burning, which was very uncomfortable.
Marquis Qi admired Wu Jiu's red face, and said, "Second Brother, you don't have dinner, right? Why don't you use it here and then go back."
Wu Jiu said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal."
Qi Hou smiled, leaned closer, and whispered in Wu Jiu's ear in a low and gentle voice: "If Second Brother keeps being strangers like this again, I will... punish you."
Wu Jiao shuddered for no reason, feeling that Qi Hou's words were so numb, not only the words were numb, but also the tone of voice.
Wu Jiao wanted to leave after dinner, but Qi Hou wouldn't let him go, the two of them kept chatting, some nonsense, and it was very late before Wu Jiao went back to his room to sleep.
On the second day, Wu Jiu got up early in the morning. After all, Qi Hou kept saying that he wanted to eat small wontons last night, and it was really like hurting his mouth.
Wu Jiao entered the dining room, rolled out the dough, pounded the meat stuffing, and then began to make wontons. At this time, he stewed the soup. Wu Jiao chattered for a while, and the cooks began to enter the dining room one after another. Because they were familiar with each other, everyone greeted Wu Jiao warmly.
When Wu corrected wrapping wontons, he saw a cook come in with a bucket, which turned out to be a bucket of goat's milk. "Cultural people" in this era don't drink goat's milk. Only barbarians can drink goat's milk.
However, when cooking, there is a need for seasoning, and some will be used.
Wu Jiao's eyes lit up, just as the bone broth was just boiled, and it didn't look milky enough, Wu Jiao snickered and scooped a spoonful of goat's milk into it, and the soup instantly turned transparent white, looking like stewed goat's milk. It's been a long time.
Wu Jiu looked at the goat's milk, it was too much, and the cooks couldn't use up so much, so he had an idea and thought of making some simple desserts and snacks.
Wu Jiu handed over the cooking of wontons to the cook, then poured out the milk, filtered it, and mixed some water to make the goat milk thinner. Pour milk into each small bowl.
The cooks looked strange and didn't know what Wu Jiao was going to do.
In fact, Wu Jiao wants to make a very simple dessert, which is double skin milk, which is delicious and simple, and can be taken out as a snack.
Wu Jiao poured milk into each bowl, waited for the milk to cool down, and a layer of milk skin formed on it, then gently punctured the milk skin, slowly poured the milk out, poured it into other containers, and beat egg whites into the container, Then stir quickly and filter.
After the milk and egg whites are stirred, add a little wine syrup for flavor enhancement and deodorization, and then slowly pour the mixture of milk and egg whites into the previous small bowl. The milk skin in the small bowl floats up little by little, and then floats on the surface again.
Wu Jiao put the small bowl on the pot and steamed it. On the surface of the milk skin, another layer of milk skin formed, and the double skin milk was completed.
Wu Jiao taught the cook to make Shuangpi Nai, and asked them to cook it in the same way, and then asked Ling Ren to get some ice, put the Shuang Pi Nai on top, and pour a layer of honey on top when eating. The wine is sweet, but the alcohol has been evaporated, so it will not be intoxicating, and the mouth has the smoothness of eggs.
The cooks looked at this dessert and were amazed. Wu Jiu tasted it and it was delicious. It would be even better if it was chilled.
When they were done, Wu Jiao looked back and almost forgot about Qihou's wontons, if it wasn't for the strong skin, it would have been soaked.
Wu Jiu hurriedly took the wontons and left, heading to the small bedroom of Marquis Qi.
Qihou's "spy" said early in the morning that Wu Jiu had gone to the dining room to make wontons. Qihou got up immediately and couldn't even lie down. Wu Jiu made small wontons.
Qi Hou washed and tidied up early, and then took a picture of himself in front of the bronze mirror. It is not that Qi Hou is conceited, but Qi Hou is also tall and handsome, and he is a nobleman above ten thousand people, and he is a powerful country today. The monarch of the country naturally gains a lot of points.
The eunuch looked at Qihou facing the bronze mirror with a smile on his face, and felt cold sweat running down his back.
So Qihou looked in the mirror like this, looked in the mirror, looked in the mirror...
He kept taking pictures until he was so hungry that Wu Jiu couldn’t deliver the bowl of wontons, and Qi Hou and others were all blindsided. Only then did the eunuch say, “Your Majesty, Young Master Jiu is here.”
Qi Hou hurriedly said: "Please."
Wu Jiu quickly sent it in, holding a large steaming bronze bowl in his hand, and presented it to Marquis Qi, Marquis Qi didn't need to look at it, but just smelled it, he felt the fragrance was so delicious that he was about to starve to death earlier. Now that I smell it, I'm even more hungry.
Wu Jiao lifted the lid, and Qihou took a look. The milky white soup was very rich, and the small wontons were floating on it. The skin was thin and crystal clear, like a translucent gem. The meat filling inside was round and lovely, and the package could be seen. of prawns.
There is also green vegetable foam rubbed on it, which looks crisp and raw, very beautiful and beautiful.
Because Wu Jiao was lazy, this bone soup was not boiled last night, so I specially put some dried shrimps in the soup, stirred it with a small knife, and the ingredients in it were full. The dried shrimps were boiled over high heat, and the salty taste was already gone The fusion with the bone broth has provided a lot of cover for the bone broth. In addition, Qihou is actually just a layman. When he saw the milky white color, he thought it was boiled, so there was no doubt.
Qi Hou couldn't wait to scoop up a small wonton and put it into his mouth. He had been looking forward to the small wonton for several months. Bite down, because the meat stuffing has a certain fatness, it becomes oily juice when it is cooked, and it is even more juicy when you bite it open. Small bamboo shoots, with layers of taste, it seems that every bite is a different taste.
Qi Hou can be regarded as eating small wontons, he ate up a bowl of wontons in one go, and even drank the soup. into the mouth.
Wu Jiao's eyelids kept twitching, and the other palace servants also lowered their heads and looked at Qihou from the corner of their eyes, Qihou finished eating all in one go, then put down the bowl, wiped his mouth gracefully, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Lao is here. "
Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh and said, "It's an honor to be Jiu."
Qihou said with a smile: "It's really delicious, no wonder the third brother recovered so quickly, it's the second brother who has the ability."
Seeing that Wu Jiu was standing all the time, Marquis Qi beckoned and said, "Second brother, come and sit here."
Wu Jiu listened, why did it seem like deja vu from last night?Don't know if Qi Hou wanted to eat something again, he walked over suspiciously and sat down slowly.
Qi Hou smiled and grabbed Wu Jiu's wrist, startled Wu Jiu, after eating the small wonton, Qi Hou's eyes instantly became gentle, and he said softly: "Second brother, there is something that Gu has always wanted to be with you. You talk about it, today is just free, why not talk about it now."
Wu Jiu didn't understand what he was going to say, so Qihou raised his head and said to the palace man: "You go down first."
The palace people responded and quickly retreated. Wu Jiao saw that it was probably a military secret, otherwise why didn't the palace people listen to it?
But the military should talk to the prince Chengfu, or to talk to Gongsun Xipeng, to talk to Bao Shuya Guan Yiwu, or to talk to the two emperors to supervise the country, how did you find yourself?
Wu Jiu thought about this, Qi Hou put Wu Jiu's hand on the back, stroked it lightly, and said with a smile: "Second brother, lonely..."
At this point in his words, an eunuch suddenly came in and interrupted him, Qihou's face darkened, and he said very unhappy: "What's the matter?"
The eunuch was taken aback and said, "Yes...it is Mr. Xing who is asking to see you."
When Qi Hou heard this, the roots of his teeth were itchy again, but there was no way to do it, he was a guest from afar, so he couldn't let Xing Gong wait outside?
Qihou had no choice but to say, "Please come in."
Xing Hou wanted to come in, so Wu Jiu couldn't sit on the same mat with Qi Hou, so he quickly stood up, but Qi Hou hadn't spoken yet, so there was no chance, Xing Hou had already entered, he smiled and said, " Duke Qi, Young Master Qi."
Marquis Qi bowed his hands, Wu Jiu saluted and said, "Duke Xing."
Qi Hou said indifferently: "It's so early in the morning, I don't know what important business Xing Gong has?"
Xing Hou smiled and said: "There is nothing important. I just went to find Mr. Qi early this morning. The palace people said that Mr. Qi was not there, so I came to look for it."
When Qi Hou heard this, the roots of his teeth became more itchy, and he said with a smile: "Oh? Is there something important for Mr. Xing to find the second brother?"
Xing Hou waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's not an important matter. It's just that it's my first time in Zicheng, and I want to visit the nearby scenery. I'm worried that no one will lead the way, so I want to trouble Mr. Qi."
Wu Jiu heard that this was not a difficult task, after all, it was the first time for Marquis Xing to come, so Qi should do his best to be a landlord.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's not a trouble, it's a good fortune to be able to guide Mr. Xing."
When Qihou heard this, how could it be possible to let Wu Jiu and Xing Gong go out to visit the mountains and rivers and enjoy the scenery in spring?
Qihou laughed and said: "Gong Xing is far away as a guest, how can Gu neglect Xing Gong? Fortunately, Gu has nothing to do today, why not let Gu lead the way, please Xing Gong to see this great mountain and river?"
When Xing Hou heard this, he smiled and said, "This... I really feel sorry for this."
Qihou said kindly: "Mr. Xing doesn't need to be modest, the sun is just right today, so get ready to go."
Xing Hou hurriedly responded, ready to go back and change his clothes, and go out to visit the beautiful scenery of Linzi City.
Wu Jiu became an accompanying guest and needed to accompany Qihou and Xinghou to go out on a tour. Wu Jiu also went back and changed his clothes. Suddenly he thought of the double-skinned milk that was being pulled out with ice, so he asked Yan'e to bring some , If you go outside, you can eat it.
Soon everyone changed their clothes and prepared to go out for an outing, because it was a casual walk, and Qihou did not take a carriage. When Wu Jiu arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Qihou sitting on a tall horse. He changed into a black horse, which almost blended with his black clothes, and he was handsome and tall, with a dignified appearance.
Wu Jiu led Jiu Mo and walked over, Qi Hou turned his head and saw Wu Jiao, and said with a smile: "Jiuer."
Hearing his hoarse voice, Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat in an instant, just as Xing Hou also came over, he was a little surprised to hear Qi Hou's "Jiao'er".
In the end, the white horse that Wu Jiu was leading suddenly let go of its hooves, ran over like a baby, and rubbed against Qihou's palm for a while.
Wu Jiu coughed in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile, "Jiao's horse is named Jiu Mo. It was once your majesty's favorite war horse, and he gave it to Jiu later."
Only then did Xing Hou smile and said, "So that's what happened, Jiu Mo, what a good name."
Wu Jiu felt that this Xing Hou was quite easy to fool, or it was because Xing Hou didn't focus on it. He turned over and got on the horse, pulled the rein, and stretched out his hand to touch the horse's mane. It was obvious that Xing Hou was also a People who love horses.
Wu Jiu walked over, grabbed Jiu Mo's rein, and finally dragged back Jiu Mo who was madly rubbing against Qi Hou. Jiu Mo was very close to Qi Hou and refused to turn back. Qi Hou patted Jiu Mo's bridle, Only then did Jiu Mo turn around, obediently letting Wu Jiu lead him.
Wu Jiao felt like an "old witch" who beat mandarin ducks, turned over and stepped onto Jiu Mo.
Qihou said with a smile: "Let's go."
As he said, he turned his head and greeted Jiu Mo, Wu Jiu didn't need to urge his horse forward, Jiu Mo just ran after him, walking side by side with Marquis Qi's horse, Wu Jiu wanted to calm Jiu Mo down, It was a little late, but every time I made a mistake, I would catch up quickly, which made Wu Jiu quite helpless, so he had to walk side by side with Qihou.
After they left the Qi Palace, they went to the outskirts of Linzi City. They walked through the downtown area and soon saw Wu Jiu's small restaurant. It was full of people. At the beginning, there was a long queue, all holding number plates in their hands, sitting on the special "stool" of the small restaurant and waiting for the number plate. This scene seemed to be a magnificent scene in Linzi city.
Not only is the landscape "magnificent", but what is even more "magnificent" is known only to Wu Jiao, and that is the food "plundered" from the nobles and gentry. In addition to the wages distributed to the guys, there is also the capital left over and the food given to the refugees. Besides, in another half a year, Wu Jiu will be able to join the ranks of rich and invincible countries, and it is not a small country, at least it is a powerful country like Zheng Guo, the Shangwei country.
After all, the people who come here to eat are the richest people, as well as the nobles and gentry who come from other countries. The richest people in the world are not the emperor Zhou, nor the princes of various countries, but these nobles Gentlemen, I can only say that Wu Jiu's restaurant is positioned too accurately.
Xing State is located on the frontier of the Zhou Dynasty. Apart from Jin State and Yan State, Xing State is already the northernmost country. The north is relatively barren and the country is small. I have never seen such a scene before. marvel.
Although the owner of this scene is Wu Jiu, as the king of Qi, Marquis Qi felt a lot of pride when he heard Marquis Xing sigh.
Surrounded by crowds, they quickly left the city gate of Linzi and came to the outskirts. When they left the city, the sky was a little cloudy, and it gradually started to snow. The flakes of snow fell on their bodies, and quickly melted. They fell on the ground and inhaled directly. In the soil, immediately disappeared.
The light snow was pattering, and gradually turned into light rain. They didn't take a car, and they didn't have any tools to shelter from the rain. Wu Jiu's hair was a little wet, and all the broken hair fell down and stuck to his forehead wetly. A bit lazy sexy.
Qihou hurriedly took off his cloak, put it on Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother is weak, put it on quickly, let's find a place to shelter from the rain."
Wu Jiu didn't want to take Qihou's cloak at first, but Qihou was very strong. With a shake of his long arms, he put the cloak on Wu Jiu's back directly, leaned over, stretched out his hand to tie the cloak, and touched it lightly. Touch Wu Jiu's forehead to wipe off the rainwater.
Xing Hou watched from the side, didn't think there was anything wrong, and said with a smile: "Qi Gong and Qi Gongzi are really close."
Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, Qi Hou smiled and said, "Exactly, isn't Mr. Xing and his brothers and sisters close?"
Marquis Qi is also quite boastful, and he doesn't even stutter. In which country can the heirs have a close relationship?Don't they all have to fight to the death, basically without exception.
Although Qihou said so, in fact, the three of his brothers have fought to the death, fleeing and losing their heads. When the elder brother Zhu'er died, Qihou didn't feel any sadness or regret at all.
When Xing Hou was asked such a question, he laughed a little bit bitterly, and everyone quickly went into the small pavilion by the lake to avoid the rain, and Xing Hou said: "I really admire Qi Gong and young master, to be honest. , I don’t have such a good relationship with my brothers anymore, only a younger sister... treats me really well, but it’s a pity..."
When Xing Hou said this, he didn't say anything, his eyes narrowed, Wu Jiao couldn't ask any more questions, but it could be seen that when Xing Hou mentioned his sister, there was a hint of sadness and cruelty in his eyes.
Xing Hou has always been a bright and cheerful Mr. Pianpian, and his eyes have never shown such cruelty.
Sure enough, Xing Hou said lightly: "My younger sister has passed away. When I succeeded to the Marquis, she was arrested by my elder brother and had her head chopped off..."
Hearing him say so lightly, Wu Jiao trembled in his heart, that kind of indifference was not indifference, but despondency, Wu Jiao had experienced this feeling before, the despondency of family affection.
Qihou looked at him without saying a word, Xinghou quickly came back to his senses, looked at the light rain outside, then turned his head and said with a smile: "If Sister She is still alive, she should be as old as Miss Yan'e .”
Yan'e and Ziqing were standing by the side of the pavilion, serving with their heads down, but suddenly they were called by name for no reason, and raised their heads in confusion. Xing Hou even glanced at her and nodded at Yan'e.
Yan'e felt baffled, so she quickly lowered her head again.
Seeing this scene, Qi Hou squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin lightly, not knowing what he was planning.
The rain outside was always pattering, although it was not a violent storm, but it was enough to cool the heart, and the weather was still cold, Qihou was concerned about Wu Jiu's body, so he planned to rest in the pavilion for a while.
Qihou ordered his servants to put the mat on and set up a small case. Wu Jiao saw that it happened to ask Yan'e to take out the double-skin milk he had made earlier.
The small bowl of Shuangpi Nai was placed in a small basket, and a lot of ice was placed in it to make sure it was cool. The weather is not warm yet, and the ice cubes have not melted much.
Yan'e put the small basket on the table, lifted the lid, and "huh", a puff of water vapor came out of it, as if in a fairyland, and then she saw clearly that there were several small bowls inside. The small bowls had no lids and contained It was something milky white with a layer of skin on the surface, I don't know what it is, anyway Qihou and Xinghou have never seen it.
Yan'e took out the bowls one by one, there were three bowls in total, exactly one for each person, and placed them in front of the three of them.
Xing Hou took the bowl politely, and smiled at Yan'e and said, "Thank you, Miss Yan'e."
Yan'e felt that Marquis Xing was so strange, he was obviously a nobleman, but he was more polite than a son, and he always called himself a girl, Yan'e was a slave, so she was not a girl.
Yan'e smiled dryly at Xing Hou, then hurriedly backed away carrying the small basket with her head down, and Xing Hou followed her figure for a while.
Qi Hou raised his eyebrows with a smile, and touched his chin again. Wu Jiu didn't think there was anything wrong, and he also felt that Xing Hou was not "slick" and "smiling" like Yan'e said. In fact, it was quite reasonable Moderately.
Three bowls of Shuangpi Nai were placed in front of her, and the small bowl was still cold. When she touched the cold hands, Ziqing brought three clean and delicate daggers, put them on the same delicate handkerchief, and presented them.
Qihou was the first to pick up the dagger, and said with a smile, "Second Brother, what kind of trick is this?"
Wu Jiu said: "Back to your lord, this dessert is called Shuangpi Nai, and it tastes sweet and smooth."
Qi Hou didn't understand what Shuangpi Nai was, and he didn't know how to make it, but he had already concluded that the food made by Wu Jiu must be delicious, so he used a small dagger to gently poke the Shuangpi Nai a little. .
The milk jelly is very slippery. The two layers of milk skin sticking together on it are first poked open, and a small piece is scooped out along the small knife. In the shallow mouth of the small knife, the double-skin milk wrapped in a layer of honey is crystal clear and shiny, like curdled fat. Like the delicate skin of a beauty, besides the bright and attractive color, there is also an indescribable milky fragrance and fragrance.
In fact, it was because there was no sugar and condensed milk in this era, so when Wu Jiao beat the milk and egg whites, he specially added some liqueur syrup, so that the fishy smell of goat milk and egg whites could be removed, adding a touch of wine , the entry level will not be monotonous.
Qi Hou couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. He was very popular and elegant, and he looked very educated. He squinted his eyes, smiled, and said, "It really is the second brother's craftsmanship."
Xing Hou also found it fresh, so he picked up a small dagger and took a spoonful to taste it, only to find that it was smooth and delicious, indescribably sweet, thick but not greasy, sweet and refreshing, with a rich aftertaste and wine aroma, but Not drunk.
Qihou didn't speak anymore, when it was his turn to eat, Qihou immediately moved gracefully and swiftly, and ate up all the double-skin milk in the small bowl with a few spoons. Wu Jiao just picked up the small dagger and hadn't started yet While eating, I saw Qi Hou wiping those slightly thin but extremely sexy lips with a delicate handkerchief, and glanced at his double skin milk...
Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched, he quickly put down the dagger, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to use another bowl? You haven't moved yet."
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother has not yet tasted his own craft, how can I feel sorry for him?"
He said so, but reached out his hand bluntly and took away Wu Jiao's bowl of Shuangpi Nai, and put it in front of him, Wu Jiao's other eyelid also twitched, thinking about pretending to be garlic.
Qihou scooped up a spoonful with a small dagger, but he didn't put it into his own mouth. He handed it over to Wu Jiao's mouth first, and said with a smile, "Second brother, you want to try it too?"
Wu Jiu was a little confused for a moment, first glanced at Xing Hou, Xing Hou was smiling, but still didn't feel anything wrong, but Wu Jiu felt that it was very wrong, extremely wrong.
First of all, as the king of a country, Qihou is feeding sweets to a courtier, which is very inappropriate in itself, and secondly, in front of Xinghou, is this gesture too intimate?
The most important thing is that Wu Jiu was a little obsessed with cleanliness, the small dagger was used by Qihou just now, and Qihou didn't change the small dagger, so he took a spoonful and handed it to his mouth.
Seeing that he didn't open his mouth, Qi Hou came closer with a smile on his face, rubbed Wu Jiu's lips with a small dagger, and said softly, "Come on, open your mouth."
Wu Jiu's eyelids jumped up immediately, afraid that Xing Hou would read the joke, so he had to bite the bullet and open his mouth, Qi Hou immediately fed the spoonful of Shuangpi Nai, the Shuangpi Nai was too slippery, and he went straight down Wu Jiu's throat. Rolling down, almost choking on Wu Jiu, he didn't even have time to taste the taste.
Qi Hou let out a low laugh with a "huh", his voice was very elegant and charming, with deep magnetism, then he stretched out his hand, his index finger and middle finger lifted Wu Jiu's chin, his thumb lightly rubbed Wu Jiu's lips, his movements It was so fast, it passed by as soon as it slid, and it swayed, with a light milky white layer on it, and said with a smile: "Second brother is really careless."
Wu Jiu didn't know why, but immediately his cheeks became hot with a "boom", and the lips that were wiped off also trembled, making it feel like he had eaten a marijuana pepper...
Xing Hou still didn't care, and said with a smile: "Qi Hou and the young master are very close, I really envy you."
Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh, and glanced at Xing Hou secretly. Xing Hou's expression was normal, and he glanced at Qi Hou again. The indelible tenderness and indulgence in Qi Hou's eyes made Wu Jiao full of surprise, and his goosebumps disappeared. All of a sudden, I thought that today's breakfast was a small wonton made by myself, Qihou should not have eaten anything bad...
Wu Jiu took a sneak peek, and was caught straight by Qi Hou, he quickly lowered his head, Qi Hou was more than happy to admire the bright red face, Wu Jiu always had a fairer complexion than others because of his poor health, and a little bit of skin A red color adds a bit of stunning color.
To avoid embarrassment, Wu Jiu took a look outside and said, "The rain has stopped."
Sure enough, the rain outside stopped. The spring rain came suddenly and went away quickly. Everyone had eaten and rested, and was about to get up and continue to visit.
Suddenly heard the sound of "treading, treading" horseshoes, rushing towards this side quickly, and seeing a young man in a toga from afar, riding a tall horse, it was Shisu.
Shi Su came in a hurry, his clothes were already wet, he probably came here in the rain all the way, the clothes clinging to his body, set off his tall and vigorous figure.
Shi Su approached, quickly turned over and jumped off the horse, quickly walked over to pay respects and said: "Speed to meet Junfu, Second Uncle, and Xing Gong."
Seeing him coming in a hurry, Qihou said, "What's the matter?"
Shi Su hurriedly said: "Father Jun, Da Sixing has returned to the palace."
When he said this, Qi Hou's expression was indifferent, Xing Hou said with a smile: "I must have received Yong Wu."
Shi Su said: "Exactly, but there is another matter, and the chief executive entrusted him to present it to Father-in-law quickly."
Qihou said: "Submit it."
Shi Suu quickly took out a roll of lambskin from his arms, his body was completely soaked, but the lambskin in his arms was dry and well protected.
Qihou took it, grabbed a corner and shook it away, and held it in his palm to browse.
Wu Jiu was right next to him, he couldn't see clearly, and Qi Hou didn't let him see, so Wu Jiu just glanced at it. There were not many words on the sheepskin, but it should be an urgent report.
Just a few words, after Qi Hou read it,
The two chatted for a long time, and Xing Gong didn't go back until they had lunch at noon.
Wu Jiu was also a little strange, this Mr. Xing always ran towards him, but he didn't seem to be really lewd, for some reason.
Now it's early spring, and the flowers in the garden seem to be in full bloom. Looking at those flowers, Wu Jiao panicked and wanted to pick them up and make them into pancakes.
Wu Jiao wanted to eat flower pancakes, not to mention him, Ziqing and Yan'e also wanted to eat them, so when Wu Jiao suggested, Yan'e was the first to respond, saying: "Okay, son, let Ziqing take care of you, my maidservant." Go find some flowers."
Ziqing heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't ask himself to pick flowers, which was enough, Wu Jiao quickly asked Yan'e to pick flowers, and then took Ziqing to the dining room to make some preparations, and then directly make pancakes when the flowers came .
The two groups split up, Yan'e carried a small basket, and went to the garden to pick flowers in the garden.
Xing Hou had nothing to do, so when he came out for a walk, he saw Yan'e who was picking flowers. Yan'e was wearing pink clothes and carrying a small basket. When no one was watching, she was not serious at all. Smiling and full of interest, he was picking flowers and throwing them into small baskets.
Xing Hou looked at Yan'e's "ruthless" flower-picking action, and thought it was cute, so he walked over, but Yan'e didn't see him. After all, Xing Hou was also a martial arts practitioner, and his steps were very light. Suddenly, a bouquet of flowers "Wow!" The bag fell down, half of it landed in the small basket, and it generally fell on Yan'e's head and face, as if it was raining flower petals.
Yan'e was taken aback for a moment, turned around and saw that it was Marquis Xing, and hurriedly bowed cautiously, saying, "Greetings, Duke Xing."
Xing Hou waved his hand and said: "You are the girl next to Mr. Qi, I remember you, by the way, what is your name, can you tell me?"
Yan'e lowered her head and said, "My servant Yan'e."
Xing Hou smiled and said, "Can you write? Which two characters are they?"
Yan'e showed the writing on the ground to Xing Hou. Xing Hou smiled and said, "This name sounds really nice. You can also write. Did Young Master Qi teach you?"
Yan'e said: "Back to Duke Xing, the servant girl learned it by herself."
Yan'e was respectful on the surface, but complained inwardly, disliking Xing Hou for getting in the way and hindering her from picking flowers.
Xing Hou smiled and said, "Miss Yan'e, what are you doing with all these flowers?"
Yan'e replied honestly: "Young master is going to make flower cakes, and the servant girl will make some flowers for you."
When Xing Hou heard it, he seemed to be interested, and said, "Flower cake? Flowers can also be used to make pancakes? This is the first time I've heard of it. Miss Yan'e, do you mind if I go with the girl to see and see?"
Yan'e said in her heart that she minded, but she didn't dare to say it out of her mouth, she just said: "Mr. Xing is serious. Please, Mr. Xing."
Wu Jiu was in the dining room when he saw Yan'e came back with a basket full of flowers, but there was someone behind, who turned out to be the king of Xing country, and walked into the dining room.
The cooks didn't know Marquis Xing, but Wu Jiao did. He was taken aback and said quickly, "Mr. Xing, Yan'e doesn't know the rules in this filthy dining room, so I ask Mr. Xing to move it."
Xing Hou quickly said: "Young lady Yan'e, I asked her to lead the way. What is filthy or not, meals are always made here. I heard that you can make cakes with flowers. I was so curious, so I came to have a look." .”
Not only did Xing Hou not leave, but he also rolled up his sleeves and made flower cakes with Wu Jiu.
Firstly, it was because Xinghou was young, and he was a proton in another country before he came to the throne, so he didn't have so many aristocratic airs, and secondly, because Xingguo was located in the frontier, the folk customs were relatively open, which made Xinghou have no airs.
Xing Hou didn't realize that the dining room was a place that was not on the table, so he rolled up his sleeves and started to learn in a decent manner.
Wu Jiao taught Xing Hou how to make flower cakes. Yan'e's eyelids twitched, she stood beside her, and whispered to Ziqing, "Look, I said Mr. Xing has good intentions for our son, and he is also glib. Brother Qing, look."
Ziqing saw it in the morning, and because of Yan'e's misleading, Ziqing gradually felt that this was indeed the case. Otherwise, why would Xinghou come to the dining room to cook?
During dinner that day, Wu Jiu specially brought some flower cakes to Qihou. Qihou had just come out of Lu bedroom, and to be honest, he was not in a very high mood today.
Because of Yi Ya's outstanding achievements, and because the honest and upright Marquis Xing used a lot of precious medicinal materials for Yi Ya, Yi Ya will definitely not die. Peng asked to support the Huben army that was going to meet Xing Guo.
How could Qihou not know the tricks in Gongsun Xipeng's stomach? Qihou has worked with him for so many years, and he has long remembered that Gongsun Xipeng is a stubborn bull who sticks to the end.
It was for this reason that Qihou asked him to swear before, but now Yi Yaming is a hero on the face of it, and he was seriously injured.An arrow hit Qi Hou, and Guan Zhong, who almost made Qi Hou miss the throne, was still alive, and he worshiped the doctor. Qi Hou had no reason to order Yi Ya harshly, so as not to hurt the hearts of the people of insight in the world.
Qihou had no choice but to ask Gongsun Xipeng to pick up Yi Ya. Gongsun Xipeng thanked him again and again when he left, but the more he thanked, the more uncomfortable Qihou felt.
Just now in Lu's bedroom, they were still discussing the merits and deeds of the army. Yi Ya must be the first one, so how can Qi Hou be happy?
But Qi Hou used him at that time, so he was not a person who could not afford to lose, since he made a bet, he had to admit it, otherwise he would not dare to make this bet.
When Marquis Qi came out of Lu's bedroom, he heard that Wu Jiu had come, and brought flowers and pancakes.
Qi Hou hurried into the small bedroom, and sure enough, he saw Wu Jiu. Wu Jiu waited for a while, and when he saw Qi Hou, he immediately saluted and said, "My lord."
Qihou said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite."
As he spoke, he took off his cloak, tossed it to the eunuch, and walked in quickly, that gesture was very handsome.
Qihou strode in and said with a smile: "Gu heard that the second brother brought delicious food to Gu, didn't he?"
Seeing his happy expression, Wu Jiu thought that Qi Hou was really a foodie who had such a soft spot for delicious food, his eyelids twitched, and he said with a smile: "Exactly, I just made some flower cakes, and they are still hot." Now, Jiu vaguely remembered the last time Jun Shang said he liked this dish, so he brought it to Jun Shang."
Qihou looked at the table, and there was indeed a plate of flower cakes, which were very beautifully made. He immediately reached out and picked one up, pinched it and stuffed it into his mouth, bit half of it in one bite, and said with a smile: "It's really fragrant, second brother's The craftsmanship is really getting better and better.”
Wu Jiao was modest, and said: "It's not all Jiu's craft, and Mr. Lao Xing will help."
When Qi Hou heard this, the flower cake he bit into was a bit big, but it all got stuck in his throat, and he almost choked to death. Like a refugee who hasn't eaten for years.
The eunuch next to him also had his eyelids twitching wildly, and quickly poured water for Qihou. Qihou took a sip of water before swallowing the choking pancake, holding half of it in his hand. Eat well, or not eat well.
Qihou coughed and said, "Why is Mr. Xing helping?"
Wu Jiu didn't doubt him, and told Xing Hou how to make flower cakes, Qi Hou's teeth were itchy, so he still taught him?Wouldn't that touch Wu Jiu's hand?
Qi Hou said sourly: "Xing Gong is a distinguished guest of Qi State, how can the second brother make Xing Gong tired?"
Wu Jiu said, "Yes, Jiu didn't take this into account, please punish me, Your Majesty."
Qi Hou coughed and said, "Just pay attention."
Wu Jiu responded again, Qihou put down the tasteless flower cake, and then said with a smile: "Come, second brother, sit here."
After Wu Jiu thanked him, he sat down and the two sat on the table. Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother, do you still remember the little wonton that Gu talked about last time? Second brother has never had time to make it for Gu. Try it, Gu Ke misses it very much."
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, Little Wonton?How long ago did this happen, how could Qi Hou still remember it.
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother's bowl of small wontons is so delicious, it made the third child's appetite suddenly whetted, and Gu also wants to try it."
Qi Hou said it was so pitiful that he couldn't even eat a bowl of wonton. Wu Jiao had no choice but to twitch his eyelids and said, "Yes, Jiu will make it for you tomorrow."
Qihou said with a smile: "The relationship is good, can I have breakfast tomorrow?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Everything is according to your majesty's orders."
Qihou smiled and stretched out his hand, stroked Wu Jiu's broken hair lightly, pinned it to his ear, felt that Wu Jiu was touched by his ear, trembled suddenly, then laughed, and said: "Second Brother Wan Don't meet Gu, do Gu and Second Brother still need to see each other?"
Wu Jiu hurriedly made a slight mistake, touched his ears, and always felt that they were burning, which was very uncomfortable.
Marquis Qi admired Wu Jiu's red face, and said, "Second Brother, you don't have dinner, right? Why don't you use it here and then go back."
Wu Jiu said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal."
Qi Hou smiled, leaned closer, and whispered in Wu Jiu's ear in a low and gentle voice: "If Second Brother keeps being strangers like this again, I will... punish you."
Wu Jiao shuddered for no reason, feeling that Qi Hou's words were so numb, not only the words were numb, but also the tone of voice.
Wu Jiao wanted to leave after dinner, but Qi Hou wouldn't let him go, the two of them kept chatting, some nonsense, and it was very late before Wu Jiao went back to his room to sleep.
On the second day, Wu Jiu got up early in the morning. After all, Qi Hou kept saying that he wanted to eat small wontons last night, and it was really like hurting his mouth.
Wu Jiao entered the dining room, rolled out the dough, pounded the meat stuffing, and then began to make wontons. At this time, he stewed the soup. Wu Jiao chattered for a while, and the cooks began to enter the dining room one after another. Because they were familiar with each other, everyone greeted Wu Jiao warmly.
When Wu corrected wrapping wontons, he saw a cook come in with a bucket, which turned out to be a bucket of goat's milk. "Cultural people" in this era don't drink goat's milk. Only barbarians can drink goat's milk.
However, when cooking, there is a need for seasoning, and some will be used.
Wu Jiao's eyes lit up, just as the bone broth was just boiled, and it didn't look milky enough, Wu Jiao snickered and scooped a spoonful of goat's milk into it, and the soup instantly turned transparent white, looking like stewed goat's milk. It's been a long time.
Wu Jiu looked at the goat's milk, it was too much, and the cooks couldn't use up so much, so he had an idea and thought of making some simple desserts and snacks.
Wu Jiu handed over the cooking of wontons to the cook, then poured out the milk, filtered it, and mixed some water to make the goat milk thinner. Pour milk into each small bowl.
The cooks looked strange and didn't know what Wu Jiao was going to do.
In fact, Wu Jiao wants to make a very simple dessert, which is double skin milk, which is delicious and simple, and can be taken out as a snack.
Wu Jiao poured milk into each bowl, waited for the milk to cool down, and a layer of milk skin formed on it, then gently punctured the milk skin, slowly poured the milk out, poured it into other containers, and beat egg whites into the container, Then stir quickly and filter.
After the milk and egg whites are stirred, add a little wine syrup for flavor enhancement and deodorization, and then slowly pour the mixture of milk and egg whites into the previous small bowl. The milk skin in the small bowl floats up little by little, and then floats on the surface again.
Wu Jiao put the small bowl on the pot and steamed it. On the surface of the milk skin, another layer of milk skin formed, and the double skin milk was completed.
Wu Jiao taught the cook to make Shuangpi Nai, and asked them to cook it in the same way, and then asked Ling Ren to get some ice, put the Shuang Pi Nai on top, and pour a layer of honey on top when eating. The wine is sweet, but the alcohol has been evaporated, so it will not be intoxicating, and the mouth has the smoothness of eggs.
The cooks looked at this dessert and were amazed. Wu Jiu tasted it and it was delicious. It would be even better if it was chilled.
When they were done, Wu Jiao looked back and almost forgot about Qihou's wontons, if it wasn't for the strong skin, it would have been soaked.
Wu Jiu hurriedly took the wontons and left, heading to the small bedroom of Marquis Qi.
Qihou's "spy" said early in the morning that Wu Jiu had gone to the dining room to make wontons. Qihou got up immediately and couldn't even lie down. Wu Jiu made small wontons.
Qi Hou washed and tidied up early, and then took a picture of himself in front of the bronze mirror. It is not that Qi Hou is conceited, but Qi Hou is also tall and handsome, and he is a nobleman above ten thousand people, and he is a powerful country today. The monarch of the country naturally gains a lot of points.
The eunuch looked at Qihou facing the bronze mirror with a smile on his face, and felt cold sweat running down his back.
So Qihou looked in the mirror like this, looked in the mirror, looked in the mirror...
He kept taking pictures until he was so hungry that Wu Jiu couldn’t deliver the bowl of wontons, and Qi Hou and others were all blindsided. Only then did the eunuch say, “Your Majesty, Young Master Jiu is here.”
Qi Hou hurriedly said: "Please."
Wu Jiu quickly sent it in, holding a large steaming bronze bowl in his hand, and presented it to Marquis Qi, Marquis Qi didn't need to look at it, but just smelled it, he felt the fragrance was so delicious that he was about to starve to death earlier. Now that I smell it, I'm even more hungry.
Wu Jiao lifted the lid, and Qihou took a look. The milky white soup was very rich, and the small wontons were floating on it. The skin was thin and crystal clear, like a translucent gem. The meat filling inside was round and lovely, and the package could be seen. of prawns.
There is also green vegetable foam rubbed on it, which looks crisp and raw, very beautiful and beautiful.
Because Wu Jiao was lazy, this bone soup was not boiled last night, so I specially put some dried shrimps in the soup, stirred it with a small knife, and the ingredients in it were full. The dried shrimps were boiled over high heat, and the salty taste was already gone The fusion with the bone broth has provided a lot of cover for the bone broth. In addition, Qihou is actually just a layman. When he saw the milky white color, he thought it was boiled, so there was no doubt.
Qi Hou couldn't wait to scoop up a small wonton and put it into his mouth. He had been looking forward to the small wonton for several months. Bite down, because the meat stuffing has a certain fatness, it becomes oily juice when it is cooked, and it is even more juicy when you bite it open. Small bamboo shoots, with layers of taste, it seems that every bite is a different taste.
Qi Hou can be regarded as eating small wontons, he ate up a bowl of wontons in one go, and even drank the soup. into the mouth.
Wu Jiao's eyelids kept twitching, and the other palace servants also lowered their heads and looked at Qihou from the corner of their eyes, Qihou finished eating all in one go, then put down the bowl, wiped his mouth gracefully, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Lao is here. "
Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh and said, "It's an honor to be Jiu."
Qihou said with a smile: "It's really delicious, no wonder the third brother recovered so quickly, it's the second brother who has the ability."
Seeing that Wu Jiu was standing all the time, Marquis Qi beckoned and said, "Second brother, come and sit here."
Wu Jiu listened, why did it seem like deja vu from last night?Don't know if Qi Hou wanted to eat something again, he walked over suspiciously and sat down slowly.
Qi Hou smiled and grabbed Wu Jiu's wrist, startled Wu Jiu, after eating the small wonton, Qi Hou's eyes instantly became gentle, and he said softly: "Second brother, there is something that Gu has always wanted to be with you. You talk about it, today is just free, why not talk about it now."
Wu Jiu didn't understand what he was going to say, so Qihou raised his head and said to the palace man: "You go down first."
The palace people responded and quickly retreated. Wu Jiao saw that it was probably a military secret, otherwise why didn't the palace people listen to it?
But the military should talk to the prince Chengfu, or to talk to Gongsun Xipeng, to talk to Bao Shuya Guan Yiwu, or to talk to the two emperors to supervise the country, how did you find yourself?
Wu Jiu thought about this, Qi Hou put Wu Jiu's hand on the back, stroked it lightly, and said with a smile: "Second brother, lonely..."
At this point in his words, an eunuch suddenly came in and interrupted him, Qihou's face darkened, and he said very unhappy: "What's the matter?"
The eunuch was taken aback and said, "Yes...it is Mr. Xing who is asking to see you."
When Qi Hou heard this, the roots of his teeth were itchy again, but there was no way to do it, he was a guest from afar, so he couldn't let Xing Gong wait outside?
Qihou had no choice but to say, "Please come in."
Xing Hou wanted to come in, so Wu Jiu couldn't sit on the same mat with Qi Hou, so he quickly stood up, but Qi Hou hadn't spoken yet, so there was no chance, Xing Hou had already entered, he smiled and said, " Duke Qi, Young Master Qi."
Marquis Qi bowed his hands, Wu Jiu saluted and said, "Duke Xing."
Qi Hou said indifferently: "It's so early in the morning, I don't know what important business Xing Gong has?"
Xing Hou smiled and said: "There is nothing important. I just went to find Mr. Qi early this morning. The palace people said that Mr. Qi was not there, so I came to look for it."
When Qi Hou heard this, the roots of his teeth became more itchy, and he said with a smile: "Oh? Is there something important for Mr. Xing to find the second brother?"
Xing Hou waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's not an important matter. It's just that it's my first time in Zicheng, and I want to visit the nearby scenery. I'm worried that no one will lead the way, so I want to trouble Mr. Qi."
Wu Jiu heard that this was not a difficult task, after all, it was the first time for Marquis Xing to come, so Qi should do his best to be a landlord.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's not a trouble, it's a good fortune to be able to guide Mr. Xing."
When Qihou heard this, how could it be possible to let Wu Jiu and Xing Gong go out to visit the mountains and rivers and enjoy the scenery in spring?
Qihou laughed and said: "Gong Xing is far away as a guest, how can Gu neglect Xing Gong? Fortunately, Gu has nothing to do today, why not let Gu lead the way, please Xing Gong to see this great mountain and river?"
When Xing Hou heard this, he smiled and said, "This... I really feel sorry for this."
Qihou said kindly: "Mr. Xing doesn't need to be modest, the sun is just right today, so get ready to go."
Xing Hou hurriedly responded, ready to go back and change his clothes, and go out to visit the beautiful scenery of Linzi City.
Wu Jiu became an accompanying guest and needed to accompany Qihou and Xinghou to go out on a tour. Wu Jiu also went back and changed his clothes. Suddenly he thought of the double-skinned milk that was being pulled out with ice, so he asked Yan'e to bring some , If you go outside, you can eat it.
Soon everyone changed their clothes and prepared to go out for an outing, because it was a casual walk, and Qihou did not take a carriage. When Wu Jiu arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Qihou sitting on a tall horse. He changed into a black horse, which almost blended with his black clothes, and he was handsome and tall, with a dignified appearance.
Wu Jiu led Jiu Mo and walked over, Qi Hou turned his head and saw Wu Jiao, and said with a smile: "Jiuer."
Hearing his hoarse voice, Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat in an instant, just as Xing Hou also came over, he was a little surprised to hear Qi Hou's "Jiao'er".
In the end, the white horse that Wu Jiu was leading suddenly let go of its hooves, ran over like a baby, and rubbed against Qihou's palm for a while.
Wu Jiu coughed in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile, "Jiao's horse is named Jiu Mo. It was once your majesty's favorite war horse, and he gave it to Jiu later."
Only then did Xing Hou smile and said, "So that's what happened, Jiu Mo, what a good name."
Wu Jiu felt that this Xing Hou was quite easy to fool, or it was because Xing Hou didn't focus on it. He turned over and got on the horse, pulled the rein, and stretched out his hand to touch the horse's mane. It was obvious that Xing Hou was also a People who love horses.
Wu Jiu walked over, grabbed Jiu Mo's rein, and finally dragged back Jiu Mo who was madly rubbing against Qi Hou. Jiu Mo was very close to Qi Hou and refused to turn back. Qi Hou patted Jiu Mo's bridle, Only then did Jiu Mo turn around, obediently letting Wu Jiu lead him.
Wu Jiao felt like an "old witch" who beat mandarin ducks, turned over and stepped onto Jiu Mo.
Qihou said with a smile: "Let's go."
As he said, he turned his head and greeted Jiu Mo, Wu Jiu didn't need to urge his horse forward, Jiu Mo just ran after him, walking side by side with Marquis Qi's horse, Wu Jiu wanted to calm Jiu Mo down, It was a little late, but every time I made a mistake, I would catch up quickly, which made Wu Jiu quite helpless, so he had to walk side by side with Qihou.
After they left the Qi Palace, they went to the outskirts of Linzi City. They walked through the downtown area and soon saw Wu Jiu's small restaurant. It was full of people. At the beginning, there was a long queue, all holding number plates in their hands, sitting on the special "stool" of the small restaurant and waiting for the number plate. This scene seemed to be a magnificent scene in Linzi city.
Not only is the landscape "magnificent", but what is even more "magnificent" is known only to Wu Jiao, and that is the food "plundered" from the nobles and gentry. In addition to the wages distributed to the guys, there is also the capital left over and the food given to the refugees. Besides, in another half a year, Wu Jiu will be able to join the ranks of rich and invincible countries, and it is not a small country, at least it is a powerful country like Zheng Guo, the Shangwei country.
After all, the people who come here to eat are the richest people, as well as the nobles and gentry who come from other countries. The richest people in the world are not the emperor Zhou, nor the princes of various countries, but these nobles Gentlemen, I can only say that Wu Jiu's restaurant is positioned too accurately.
Xing State is located on the frontier of the Zhou Dynasty. Apart from Jin State and Yan State, Xing State is already the northernmost country. The north is relatively barren and the country is small. I have never seen such a scene before. marvel.
Although the owner of this scene is Wu Jiu, as the king of Qi, Marquis Qi felt a lot of pride when he heard Marquis Xing sigh.
Surrounded by crowds, they quickly left the city gate of Linzi and came to the outskirts. When they left the city, the sky was a little cloudy, and it gradually started to snow. The flakes of snow fell on their bodies, and quickly melted. They fell on the ground and inhaled directly. In the soil, immediately disappeared.
The light snow was pattering, and gradually turned into light rain. They didn't take a car, and they didn't have any tools to shelter from the rain. Wu Jiu's hair was a little wet, and all the broken hair fell down and stuck to his forehead wetly. A bit lazy sexy.
Qihou hurriedly took off his cloak, put it on Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother is weak, put it on quickly, let's find a place to shelter from the rain."
Wu Jiu didn't want to take Qihou's cloak at first, but Qihou was very strong. With a shake of his long arms, he put the cloak on Wu Jiu's back directly, leaned over, stretched out his hand to tie the cloak, and touched it lightly. Touch Wu Jiu's forehead to wipe off the rainwater.
Xing Hou watched from the side, didn't think there was anything wrong, and said with a smile: "Qi Gong and Qi Gongzi are really close."
Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, Qi Hou smiled and said, "Exactly, isn't Mr. Xing and his brothers and sisters close?"
Marquis Qi is also quite boastful, and he doesn't even stutter. In which country can the heirs have a close relationship?Don't they all have to fight to the death, basically without exception.
Although Qihou said so, in fact, the three of his brothers have fought to the death, fleeing and losing their heads. When the elder brother Zhu'er died, Qihou didn't feel any sadness or regret at all.
When Xing Hou was asked such a question, he laughed a little bit bitterly, and everyone quickly went into the small pavilion by the lake to avoid the rain, and Xing Hou said: "I really admire Qi Gong and young master, to be honest. , I don’t have such a good relationship with my brothers anymore, only a younger sister... treats me really well, but it’s a pity..."
When Xing Hou said this, he didn't say anything, his eyes narrowed, Wu Jiao couldn't ask any more questions, but it could be seen that when Xing Hou mentioned his sister, there was a hint of sadness and cruelty in his eyes.
Xing Hou has always been a bright and cheerful Mr. Pianpian, and his eyes have never shown such cruelty.
Sure enough, Xing Hou said lightly: "My younger sister has passed away. When I succeeded to the Marquis, she was arrested by my elder brother and had her head chopped off..."
Hearing him say so lightly, Wu Jiao trembled in his heart, that kind of indifference was not indifference, but despondency, Wu Jiao had experienced this feeling before, the despondency of family affection.
Qihou looked at him without saying a word, Xinghou quickly came back to his senses, looked at the light rain outside, then turned his head and said with a smile: "If Sister She is still alive, she should be as old as Miss Yan'e .”
Yan'e and Ziqing were standing by the side of the pavilion, serving with their heads down, but suddenly they were called by name for no reason, and raised their heads in confusion. Xing Hou even glanced at her and nodded at Yan'e.
Yan'e felt baffled, so she quickly lowered her head again.
Seeing this scene, Qi Hou squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin lightly, not knowing what he was planning.
The rain outside was always pattering, although it was not a violent storm, but it was enough to cool the heart, and the weather was still cold, Qihou was concerned about Wu Jiu's body, so he planned to rest in the pavilion for a while.
Qihou ordered his servants to put the mat on and set up a small case. Wu Jiao saw that it happened to ask Yan'e to take out the double-skin milk he had made earlier.
The small bowl of Shuangpi Nai was placed in a small basket, and a lot of ice was placed in it to make sure it was cool. The weather is not warm yet, and the ice cubes have not melted much.
Yan'e put the small basket on the table, lifted the lid, and "huh", a puff of water vapor came out of it, as if in a fairyland, and then she saw clearly that there were several small bowls inside. The small bowls had no lids and contained It was something milky white with a layer of skin on the surface, I don't know what it is, anyway Qihou and Xinghou have never seen it.
Yan'e took out the bowls one by one, there were three bowls in total, exactly one for each person, and placed them in front of the three of them.
Xing Hou took the bowl politely, and smiled at Yan'e and said, "Thank you, Miss Yan'e."
Yan'e felt that Marquis Xing was so strange, he was obviously a nobleman, but he was more polite than a son, and he always called himself a girl, Yan'e was a slave, so she was not a girl.
Yan'e smiled dryly at Xing Hou, then hurriedly backed away carrying the small basket with her head down, and Xing Hou followed her figure for a while.
Qi Hou raised his eyebrows with a smile, and touched his chin again. Wu Jiu didn't think there was anything wrong, and he also felt that Xing Hou was not "slick" and "smiling" like Yan'e said. In fact, it was quite reasonable Moderately.
Three bowls of Shuangpi Nai were placed in front of her, and the small bowl was still cold. When she touched the cold hands, Ziqing brought three clean and delicate daggers, put them on the same delicate handkerchief, and presented them.
Qihou was the first to pick up the dagger, and said with a smile, "Second Brother, what kind of trick is this?"
Wu Jiu said: "Back to your lord, this dessert is called Shuangpi Nai, and it tastes sweet and smooth."
Qi Hou didn't understand what Shuangpi Nai was, and he didn't know how to make it, but he had already concluded that the food made by Wu Jiu must be delicious, so he used a small dagger to gently poke the Shuangpi Nai a little. .
The milk jelly is very slippery. The two layers of milk skin sticking together on it are first poked open, and a small piece is scooped out along the small knife. In the shallow mouth of the small knife, the double-skin milk wrapped in a layer of honey is crystal clear and shiny, like curdled fat. Like the delicate skin of a beauty, besides the bright and attractive color, there is also an indescribable milky fragrance and fragrance.
In fact, it was because there was no sugar and condensed milk in this era, so when Wu Jiao beat the milk and egg whites, he specially added some liqueur syrup, so that the fishy smell of goat milk and egg whites could be removed, adding a touch of wine , the entry level will not be monotonous.
Qi Hou couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. He was very popular and elegant, and he looked very educated. He squinted his eyes, smiled, and said, "It really is the second brother's craftsmanship."
Xing Hou also found it fresh, so he picked up a small dagger and took a spoonful to taste it, only to find that it was smooth and delicious, indescribably sweet, thick but not greasy, sweet and refreshing, with a rich aftertaste and wine aroma, but Not drunk.
Qihou didn't speak anymore, when it was his turn to eat, Qihou immediately moved gracefully and swiftly, and ate up all the double-skin milk in the small bowl with a few spoons. Wu Jiao just picked up the small dagger and hadn't started yet While eating, I saw Qi Hou wiping those slightly thin but extremely sexy lips with a delicate handkerchief, and glanced at his double skin milk...
Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched, he quickly put down the dagger, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to use another bowl? You haven't moved yet."
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother has not yet tasted his own craft, how can I feel sorry for him?"
He said so, but reached out his hand bluntly and took away Wu Jiao's bowl of Shuangpi Nai, and put it in front of him, Wu Jiao's other eyelid also twitched, thinking about pretending to be garlic.
Qihou scooped up a spoonful with a small dagger, but he didn't put it into his own mouth. He handed it over to Wu Jiao's mouth first, and said with a smile, "Second brother, you want to try it too?"
Wu Jiu was a little confused for a moment, first glanced at Xing Hou, Xing Hou was smiling, but still didn't feel anything wrong, but Wu Jiu felt that it was very wrong, extremely wrong.
First of all, as the king of a country, Qihou is feeding sweets to a courtier, which is very inappropriate in itself, and secondly, in front of Xinghou, is this gesture too intimate?
The most important thing is that Wu Jiu was a little obsessed with cleanliness, the small dagger was used by Qihou just now, and Qihou didn't change the small dagger, so he took a spoonful and handed it to his mouth.
Seeing that he didn't open his mouth, Qi Hou came closer with a smile on his face, rubbed Wu Jiu's lips with a small dagger, and said softly, "Come on, open your mouth."
Wu Jiu's eyelids jumped up immediately, afraid that Xing Hou would read the joke, so he had to bite the bullet and open his mouth, Qi Hou immediately fed the spoonful of Shuangpi Nai, the Shuangpi Nai was too slippery, and he went straight down Wu Jiu's throat. Rolling down, almost choking on Wu Jiu, he didn't even have time to taste the taste.
Qi Hou let out a low laugh with a "huh", his voice was very elegant and charming, with deep magnetism, then he stretched out his hand, his index finger and middle finger lifted Wu Jiu's chin, his thumb lightly rubbed Wu Jiu's lips, his movements It was so fast, it passed by as soon as it slid, and it swayed, with a light milky white layer on it, and said with a smile: "Second brother is really careless."
Wu Jiu didn't know why, but immediately his cheeks became hot with a "boom", and the lips that were wiped off also trembled, making it feel like he had eaten a marijuana pepper...
Xing Hou still didn't care, and said with a smile: "Qi Hou and the young master are very close, I really envy you."
Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh, and glanced at Xing Hou secretly. Xing Hou's expression was normal, and he glanced at Qi Hou again. The indelible tenderness and indulgence in Qi Hou's eyes made Wu Jiao full of surprise, and his goosebumps disappeared. All of a sudden, I thought that today's breakfast was a small wonton made by myself, Qihou should not have eaten anything bad...
Wu Jiu took a sneak peek, and was caught straight by Qi Hou, he quickly lowered his head, Qi Hou was more than happy to admire the bright red face, Wu Jiu always had a fairer complexion than others because of his poor health, and a little bit of skin A red color adds a bit of stunning color.
To avoid embarrassment, Wu Jiu took a look outside and said, "The rain has stopped."
Sure enough, the rain outside stopped. The spring rain came suddenly and went away quickly. Everyone had eaten and rested, and was about to get up and continue to visit.
Suddenly heard the sound of "treading, treading" horseshoes, rushing towards this side quickly, and seeing a young man in a toga from afar, riding a tall horse, it was Shisu.
Shi Su came in a hurry, his clothes were already wet, he probably came here in the rain all the way, the clothes clinging to his body, set off his tall and vigorous figure.
Shi Su approached, quickly turned over and jumped off the horse, quickly walked over to pay respects and said: "Speed to meet Junfu, Second Uncle, and Xing Gong."
Seeing him coming in a hurry, Qihou said, "What's the matter?"
Shi Su hurriedly said: "Father Jun, Da Sixing has returned to the palace."
When he said this, Qi Hou's expression was indifferent, Xing Hou said with a smile: "I must have received Yong Wu."
Shi Su said: "Exactly, but there is another matter, and the chief executive entrusted him to present it to Father-in-law quickly."
Qihou said: "Submit it."
Shi Suu quickly took out a roll of lambskin from his arms, his body was completely soaked, but the lambskin in his arms was dry and well protected.
Qihou took it, grabbed a corner and shook it away, and held it in his palm to browse.
Wu Jiu was right next to him, he couldn't see clearly, and Qi Hou didn't let him see, so Wu Jiu just glanced at it. There were not many words on the sheepskin, but it should be an urgent report.
Just a few words, after Qi Hou read it,
