Chapter 72 "Married" (2)
After all, it was cold, and it was still overnight, and secondly, it saved time, and there was no need to wash and cook rice.
With a smile on his face, Wu Jiu hugged a jar of leftovers, "Boom!" and put it on the table, then used a large dagger to scoop out a large spoonful of leftovers and put it in a nearby bowl.
Everyone looked at Wu Jiu's movements and didn't know what he was going to do. Wu Jiao filled out a lot of leftovers, thought about Qihou's meal, and thought about four big eggs, so he filled out two spoonfuls of leftovers. .
Wu Jiao finished the leftovers, pressed them with a big dagger, and pressed the sticky rice to loosen up a little, then began to cut mushrooms, bamboo shoots, some small side dishes, and a few shrimps, all of them were chopped Cheng Xiaoding sprinkled a handful of green beans, and found some sauces, the most important thing in the palace is all kinds of sauces, there are all kinds of sauces.
There are also various fish sauces that are similar to soy sauce, but are much more expensive than soy sauce.
Wu Jiao poured the diced vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them, then poured in the leftover rice, added seasonings to taste, finally poured some fish sauce in, and stirred it vigorously with a big dagger, the action was very simple and rough.
Wu Jiu rolled up his sleeves, because of previous injuries, the scars on his arms had fallen off a few times, but they hadn't completely faded, and he could see them as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, winding on his fair forearm, which looked a bit dazzling, It makes people feel distressed and gives people a fragile beauty.
But it is such a fragile and aesthetically pleasing Wu Jiao, who is stirring the leftovers vigorously. The action made the cooks look at it and think that he will use this bowl of leftovers to feed chickens and ducks later...
Wu Jiu seasoned the leftover rice, because the color of the leftover rice was not as beautiful as freshly made white rice, so Wu Jiu deliberately added a little fish sauce and then a little vegetable oil to make the rice look crystal clear , the white rice and the amber fish sauce seem to be plated with a layer of gold, and the color is very bright and gratifying.
Immediately Wu Jiu cracked open the eggs, beat four big eggs together, it was a big bowl, poured it into the pot with a "crash", spread it out, and made it into thin round cakes, seasoned them well, fried them The leftover rice is poured on the golden egg skin, rolled with chopsticks, and a super-large omelet rice comes out of the pan.
Wu Jiao took out the super big omelet rice, put it on a huge bronze plate, and then used fish sauce to draw a smiling face on the omelet rice, and it was done.
After Wu Jiao had done all this, he hurriedly asked someone to bring the omelette and went to the small bedroom. It didn't take long to come and go, Qi Hou was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be ready so soon, how could he know that Wu Jiao Used leftovers...
As soon as Wu Jiu came in, Qihou could smell the deliciousness of omelet rice, the fresh smell of fish sauce, the fragrance of fried rice, the smell of shrimps, mushrooms and green beans mixed together, he couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of green beans, or the seafood of shrimps Aroma, or the overbearing aroma of mushrooms.
Qi Hou saw a golden omelet rice on a big bronze plate with a playful smiling face painted on it.
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, have you eaten? Let's sit down and eat together."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast, and there was a "gurgle" in his stomach. Qi Hou was taken aback, and then he laughed, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother, come quickly."
Qihou and Wu Jiu sat down facing each other again, with an omelet made of four eggs placed in the middle, Qihou held a small dagger, pointed at the smiling face on the omelet, and said, "This smiling face is as good-looking as the second brother."
Wu Jiao felt that not only his eyelids twitched, but also his cheeks almost twitched. How could Qi Hou see that this abstract smiling face drawn by hand was the same as his own?
Qi Hou said again: "It must be full of gold and jade, and it is as delicious as the second brother."
As Qihou said, he even licked his lips lightly, the action was really ambiguous, Wu Jiao quickly lowered his head, knowing that Qihou was tirelessly teasing himself again.
Seeing that Wu Jiu didn't raise his head, Qi Hou couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so he stopped flirting with Wu Jiu, and pierced the egg skin with a small dagger. The golden egg skin was not thick, and it was pierced through at once, and a burst of heat instantly rose. "Huh!" Suddenly, the aroma overflowed, and the fragrant smell rose along with the heat. The hot mixed aroma stuffed in the egg skin has been completely evaporated after frying, and the aroma is indescribable.
As the egg skin was pierced, the heat dissipated, and the light amber-colored white rice and diced vegetables were wrapped in it, and it rolled out "gululu". It was golden and white in an instant, and the green color of green beans was like jade. A sense of sight full of gold and jade, very festive.
Qihou was immediately attracted by the color, smelled the rich aroma, and immediately scooped some up with a small dagger, and put it in his mouth with fish sauce, shelled shrimp, tough mushrooms, crispy bamboo shoots, fragrant green beans, white rice Smooth, this series of textures are put into the mouth, layer upon layer intertwined with each other, with the fragrant and tender egg skin on the outside, and the salty fish sauce, it will not look monotonous at all. After taking a bite, Qihou will be Show a surprised expression.
Wu Jiu watched with a smile as Qi Hou ate two big mouthfuls. Although Qi Hou sometimes looked full of aristocratic style, when it came to eating, he was really not coquettish at all. His eating was elegant and especially contagious.
Wu Jiao was really hungry when he saw Qi Hou eating like this. Qi Hou ate several mouthfuls before realizing that Wu Jiao hadn't eaten. He said: "Second brother's gold and jade are too big to eat alone, why not share the food?"
It is a great honor to eat with the king. It is not uncommon for the king to give food, but it is really rare to eat something from the same plate with the king.
After all, this era is still a meal-sharing system, especially for the nobles. Food cannot be enjoyed with others, because in the eyes of the nobles, food is right, and eating good food is a symbol of status and status. Just imagine how a nobleman can share food with others. What about sharing your identity and status?
However, Qi Hou gave half of his omelet rice to Wu Jiao with a frank face. Wu Jiao was also hungry, so he picked up a small dagger to scoop up the omelet rice and put it into his mouth.
Qi Hou saw that Wu Jiu was holding his big sleeve robe with one hand, and holding a small dagger in the other, and he was very gracefully putting the omelette rice into his mouth, his movements were delicate and elegant.
Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother's eating movements are also pretty."
Wu Jiao was taken aback for a moment, feeling ashamed to eat, who likes to be stared at while eating, and has a wolfish face, wishing that Wu Jiao was the omelet rice on the plate...
Under Qi Hou's pressure, Wu Jiu ate some omelet rice. In fact, it was because it was almost noon. He ate some omelet rice from Qi Hou. count less.
Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks or dagger after eating, Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second Brother eats so little, you should use your body more."
Wu Jiao was afraid that he would not be able to use his lunch for a while, which would make things worse. After Qi Hou said so much, he was actually greedy for Wu Jiao's leftover quarter of omelet rice, so Qi Hou said it, and said that it should not be wasted. So I took away the quarter of the omelet rice, and two bites were enough.
Wu Jiu watched Qi Hou eat the [-]-egg omelet with an unsatisfactory expression on his face, and couldn't help feeling a little numb in his back, thinking that Qi Hou had such a big head, so he was eating it.
The two of them just finished eating omelet rice, Wu Jiao had breakfast, and Qi Hou had an extra meal between breakfast and lunch. Qi Hou wiped his mouth gracefully, drank a cup of fruit tea, and smiled with satisfaction on his face.
At this time, the eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son is asking to see you."
When Qi Hou heard that it was Young Master Wu Kui who came, he frowned subconsciously. Wu Jiu saw his action. After all, Wu Jiu was an extremely sensitive person, so he couldn't help but turn around in his heart. It could be seen that Qi Hou didn't wait. See no loss.
However, logically speaking, Young Master Wu Kui has a good appearance and possesses martial arts skills. Furthermore, he is humble and polite, and treats his subordinates very gently. He doesn't put on airs like a Young Master. Although it can be seen that he is not sincere, but as a Young Master, this is enough.
Furthermore, Young Master Wu Kui still had some achievements during the War of Time and Water, so Qihou shouldn't dislike Young Master Wu Kui no matter what.
From the mother's point of view, Chang Weiji was a favored concubine in history. Although she was not a real wife, all food and clothing were treated according to the wife's etiquette. The famous courtier Yi Ya was recorded in history. He and Wei Kaifang were both favorite ministers around Chang Weiji, and later they were introduced to Duke Huan of Qi, and Duke Huan of Qi favored him even more.
In this way, it can be seen that Chang Weiji is actually favored.
After thinking about it, Wu Jiu felt that there was really no reason why Marquis Qi didn't love the eldest son, and he could only think that Marquis Wei was always jumping around restlessly, which annoyed Marquis Qi, and thus implicated the son Wu who was half of the blood of the Weiren. loss.
Qihou didn't want to see him, but he had to have a reason for not wanting to see him. If there was no one there, Qihou would say that he was busy and didn't see him. Now that Wu Jiu was present, Qihou couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, so he said: "Please ask him Come in."
Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Jiu will leave first..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Hou raised his hand and said, "No, the second brother can just sit down, and I will talk to the second brother about the canonization later."
Young Master Wu Kui walked in while they were talking, greeted Qihou and Wu Jiu very politely, and said, "Wu Kui pays homage to your father and uncle."
Hearing the etiquette of Young Master Wu Kui to Wu Jiu, Qi Hou changed his mind slightly, nodded, and said, "What's the matter?"
Only then did Young Master Wu Kui stand up, cupped his hands respectfully and said: "My son knows that your father will send troops to attack Sui Kingdom soon, so I come here to ask for orders, and I am willing to go to Sui Kingdom to share your father's worries."
It is imperative to send troops to attack the Sui Kingdom. The Lu State did not agree to it before, but Lu Gong jumped over the wall in a hurry and did such a low-level thing as a hostage, and there was no chance for him to disagree.
Because the crusade against the Sui Kingdom was a move to respect the king and fight against the barbarians, the five countries had already signed an alliance, and they just waited for the emperor Zhou to speak. In this way, adding the troops of the Luo division, the total was the six-nation coalition.
In this way, although each country only sends out a few soldiers and horses, they are a huge force when twisted together. Isn't it a free thing for such a large army to crush a small country?
Young Master Wu Kui knew in his heart that sending troops to crusade against the Sui Kingdom this time was a matter of great benefit and harmless, and the benefits were too numerous to count.
First, this is a battle that must be won, and military exploits are at your fingertips.
Second, this is fighting with the master of the king. The reputation is excellent, and the name is justified, which helps to spread prestige among the countries.
Thirdly, the most urgent thing for Mr. Wukui is to stand out. Mr. Zhao has already served as a supervisor of the country, but Mr. Wukui, the boss, has not made much achievements. If things go on like this, Mr. Wukui knows that he must be the loser , he must come forward, this is a great opportunity.
Young Master Wu Kui cupped his hands and finished speaking, but Qi Hou remained silent. Wu Jiu sat beside him and glanced at Qi Hou strangely. Staring at Young Master Wu Kui, a pair of tiger eyes rolled slightly in his eye sockets.
Turning eyes is actually a manifestation of thinking, recollection, conjecture, and planning based on psychology. Qihou's eyes swayed slightly. Although he squinted, Wu Jiao could see clearly. He didn't know what Qihou was thinking of. But Qi Hou must have thought of a lot in an instant.
Young Master Wu Kui waited for a long time, then raised his head slightly in surprise, just in time to meet Qi Hou's eyes, Young Master Wu Kui was a little surprised for a moment, and quickly lowered his head again.
I heard Qi Hou finally say: "I have to think about this matter."
Qihou wanted to think about it. In fact, he had already thought about it in his heart. He wanted Prince Zhao, his youngest son, to serve as the general of the army. There is no merit at all, and it cannot convince the public.
Qihou had already thought about it, this time sending troops to Suiguo is a good job, this kind of good job, I have to leave it to my son Zhaolai to make a name for himself, how can he do nothing to the son who will rebel in the future.
Qihou also knows that he is very biased, but if he is not biased, his end may be as miserable as his previous life. Qihou knows that there is also his own reason for this, but it is also due to the ambition of the son Wukui. He cannot let the tragedy of the son Zhao Repeat again.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit frozen, Wu Jiu felt that he should leave just now.
Young Master Wu Kui seemed to have expected that Marquis Qi would reject him a long time ago. He was not too surprised, but was very disappointed. A look of disappointment appeared on his handsome face, and he said respectfully, "Yes, Father Jun."
He said, put down his hands, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Father Jun...do you have someone in charge in mind?"
Qihou glanced at the son Wukui, knowing that the eldest son might have grown up, and started to test himself, he just smiled and said: "Not yet, I have to discuss this matter with the old general Da Sima."
Young Master Wu Kui heard that Marquis Qi had moved out Prince Sima Cheng's father, so he could only cup his hands and say, "Yes, then the son will not disturb Junfu and Uncle's business, son...retire first."
Young Master Wu Kui knew very well in his heart that any discussion was just an excuse, and Qi Hou was just trying to shirk and didn't want him to make meritorious service.
After the young master saluted without loss, he left the small bedroom.
Wu Jiu watched the interaction between father and son, and suddenly thought of his own life experience. Wu Jiu had never enjoyed father's love, and he didn't know what father's love was like. It seems that I can empathize, and my heart trembles a little.
The canonization of Wu Jiu as the chief minister is scheduled for the beginning of next month. During this period, Wu Jiu is not yet the chief minister, and his last free time will be at this moment. Once he becomes the chief minister, it will indeed be a fat post. But he has to get up early and be greedy for night, and go to court when it is dark, and work in the political affairs hall after the court.
Wu Jiu has been enjoying his leisure for the past few days. The weather this day is very good. It will soon be summer. The weather is warming up, the flowers in the garden are beginning to bloom, and the sparkling water of the lake is very beautiful.
Wu Jiu was still lying on the couch, and Yan E was pinching his shoulders, when Ziqing came in and said, "My lord..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Jiu interrupted Ziqing like a landlord, and said with a smile, "Your name is Lord."
Ziqing: "..." Almost choked to death in an instant.
Seeing Wu Jiu's gentlemanly demeanor, Ziqing said helplessly, "Master... Your Majesty invites you to the garden."
Wu Jiao asked in surprise, "What are you doing in the garden? Pulling flowers? Your Majesty wants to eat pancakes with flowers?"
Ziqing was even more helpless, the blue veins on his forehead popped up, and said: "Today Zheng Ji held a flower viewing feast in the garden, and invited you to come over, and just now you said that the scenery is very good, please invite young master to go and enjoy the flowers."
When Wu Jiao heard this, his scalp went numb, and he felt so weird, the empress concubine invited Qi Hou to enjoy the flowers, but Qi Hou actually pulled himself up, what does this mean?
But Marquis Qi had already spoken, so Wu Jiao had no choice but to get up, tidy up reluctantly, and then went out to the garden.
When Wu Jiu arrived in the garden, he saw Qihou sitting in a small building by the water, and Zheng Ji was dancing in front of him. Zheng Ji was wearing a white dress with a tulle coat, looking hazy And graceful, dancing, graceful.
Apart from Zheng Ji and Qi Hou, there was also a young man standing beside Qi Hou. Wu Jiu hadn't seen Young Master Zhao for some time, but he didn't expect Young Master Zhao to be so tall.
Wu Jiao walked over and found that Young Master Zhao was taller than him, and his body was tall and straight, much stronger than himself. The small flesh on his cheeks disappeared, and he became handsome and tough. An attractive, very attractive young man.
Wu Jiu walked into the small building and waited respectfully, "Jiu pays homage to Your Majesty."
When Young Master Zhao saw Wu Jiu, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Zhao pays homage to Second Uncle."
When everyone saw the ceremony, Qi Hou smiled unhurriedly and said: "Come on, second brother sit here, the scenery is good today, and there is good wine, I just thought, I haven't talked with second brother for a long time .”
Wu Jiao saw that Zheng Ji was dressed brightly and worked very hard, obviously she was here to please Qi Hou, but Qi Hou called him over, even if Zheng Ji didn't fight, he would still hold a grudge against Wu Jiao.
Wu Jiu gritted his teeth and said with a dry smile, "Please show me your honor, and Jiu will listen carefully."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Don't be so introverted, relax."
Gongzi Zhao didn't have any special expression, he looked more mature and serious than before, standing quietly, pursing his lips, pressing the corners of his mouth, Wu Jiao found that he was more and more like Marquis Qi, the expression of stern mouth, really Exactly the same, carved out of a mold.
However, Zheng Ji was not very happy. Although Qi Hou loved her in the past because she did not fight or snatch her, in fact, not fighting or snatching is a means of fighting for favor. Zheng Ji is well versed in this truth, but Zheng Ji still wants to Those who climbed up, who married into the palace would not want to be the mother of the country?
Now that Wu Jiu came to make trouble, how happy Zheng Ji was.
Qihou was just talking about something, chatting all over the world, at this moment, Young Master Zhao suddenly cupped his fists and said, "Father, Zhaoer has something to report and I want to report it."
Qihou laughed and said, "Oh? What's the matter? Zhao'er is so serious?"
Gong Zizhao said: "It is a matter of sending troops to conquer the country. Zhao'er secretly thinks that my elder brother has both literary and military talents, and sometimes has the experience of winning the battle of water. He is prudent and mature, and he is not arrogant or rash. He is the best person to send troops to command. Please sir father to consider."
When Qi Hou heard this, his smile visibly froze, and Wu Jiu could see it clearly, because Wu Jiu was present when Young Master Wu Kui asked for his order before, and he obviously knew that Qi Hou was unwilling to let Young Master Wu Kui take charge, so now Qi Hou's As soon as his expression moved, Wu Jiu knew that Qi Hou was still unwilling.
Seeing Qihou's expression, Young Master Zhao immediately said, "Father Jun, elder brother..."
At this point in what he said, Zheng Ji also became anxious, attacking the good job of Sui country, her son didn't know what was going on in her mind, she didn't fight for it herself, but gave it to Wei Ji's son to fight for it.
Zheng Ji and her son have never been close, because they are all focused on fighting for favor, and it was only when Chang Wei Ji's son Wu Kui became intimate with Gongzi Zhao that Zheng Ji realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
It can be said that Gongzi Zhao is a follower of Gongzi Wukui, Zheng Ji has no idea what kind of ecstasy soup Gongzi Wukui poured into Gongzi Zhao, so that Gongzi Zhao admired his big brother so much.
Gongzi Zhao hadn't finished speaking, Zheng Ji wanted to interrupt, but Qi Hou suddenly said indifferently: "Enough."
As soon as his words came out, Young Master Zhao and Zheng Ji were taken aback, and Wu Jiu also looked up at Qi Hou, not knowing why Qi Hou suddenly became angry.
Zheng Ji quickly said, "Zhao'er, quickly apologize to Father Jun."
Young Master Zhao lowered his eyelids, and before he could speak, Marquis Qi had already adjusted his mentality, turned his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and said with a smile, "Zhaoer is not wrong, but today is a good time, let's not talk about political affairs."
Gong Zizhao lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes, Father Jun."
As they were talking, they happened to see a person passing by. The person was dressed in official robes, which set off his tall and imposing figure. Qi Hou saw that it was Gongsun Xipeng.
He said loudly, "Xi Peng."
Gongsun Xipeng didn't expect Qihou, Wu Jiu, Zheng Ji, and Gongzi Zhao to be in the garden. This combination was a bit strange, so he hurriedly stood still, greeted Qihou and Gongzi Jiu, and greeted Gongzi Zhao.
Qi Hou was about to change the subject, so he smiled and said, "Where is Xi Peng going? Isn't it Xiu Mu today?"
Gongsun Xipeng's face froze a bit, he couldn't say anything, because he really had a rest today and wanted to visit Yi Ya.
But Gongsun Xipeng knew that Qihou had a deep grudge against Yi Ya, so he didn't dare to speak out, but he couldn't lie to Qihou, so he hesitated for a while, and said, "Xi Peng is going to visit Yongwu."
Sure enough, Qi Hou just listened to it, and gave a low laugh, with a bit of sternness in his smile, and said, "Oh, Yong Wu, Gu almost forgot about him."
During Wu Jiu's envoy to Beixing Huimeng, Yi Ya's injury has healed, and he can stay in bed and walk around, and he doesn't need other people to take care of him when he eats and walks. It's just that Yi Ya's right leg is slightly lame, and the scar on his face Because it is too deep, there are two that can’t fall off no matter what. The most important thing is that Yi Ya’s voice is still hoarse. Although it doesn’t seem to feel good to speak with breath, but it will not work after a long time. It will reveal its true colors, as if it is the voice of smoking all the year round.
And his sense of taste, because of the long-term poisoning and high fever, although the toxins in Yi Ya's body have been removed, he has no sense of taste. No matter whether it is sweet, bitter, spicy or salty, it tastes the same to Yi Ya.
This is naturally the biggest blow to a cook, but fortunately, Yi Ya doesn't remember the past, nor does he seem to remember that he knows how to cook.
Today, Gongsun Xipeng was resting and wanted to visit Yi Ya, but he was caught by Marquis Qi when he happened to pass by the garden.
Gongsun Xipeng didn't want to lie, so he told the truth, but he didn't know that telling the truth would make people more angry than lying, and Qihou's complexion suddenly became ugly.
Just now because of the fact that Young Master Zhao recommended Young Master Wukui, in fact, Qi Hou is not very happy. After all, Qi Hou agreed to get together with Zheng Ji today, not for Zheng Ji, but for Young Master Zhao, so that the people in the harem can see Look, I mistakenly thought that Zheng Ji was favored, which would also benefit the status of Young Master Zhao.
Because in the eyes of the courtiers and foreign ministers, the eldest son not only has military exploits, but is also the eldest son. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the elders are not passed down to the younger. Qihou took a fancy to the son Zhao, so he naturally wanted to remove obstacles for him.
Young Master Zhao just recommended the eldest son at this time, can Qihou not be angry?
Qihou was angry just now, and now he is even more angry. Both Gongzi Wukui and Yi Ya were under house arrest in the previous life. After all, Gongzi Wukui is his son, and Yi Ya is just a favorite minister. Qihou's monarch naturally has a violent temper He pointed at Yi Ya, but not at his son.
Seeing that Marquis Qi's complexion was not good, Wu Jiao secretly sweated Gongsun Xipeng, thinking in his heart that Da Sixing was too sincere, and Marquis Qi's temper, even if he could tolerate Guan Yiwu who shot him, Chang Shao defeated Cao GUI who was holding him hostage, but he was a king after all, so he was naturally very temperamental.
Qihou's face was extremely ugly, just now Zheng Ji could say a few nice words about Gongzi Zhao's matter, now it's about Gongsun Xipeng's matter, Zheng Ji didn't care, so she was anxious, thinking that she didn't read the almanac when she went out, He obviously only wanted to please Qihou, how could he know that he would be so obsessed?
Qihou was silent for a while, then suddenly suppressed his anger, turned his head and smiled at Zheng Ji, and said, "Xi Peng is an old Qi, a nobleman of our Qi country, and a key minister. He is not young now, is he?" It's time to start a family, does Zheng Ji have any sweet girl in her heart, introduce her to Xi Peng?"
When Zheng Ji heard it, her heart suddenly became excited, as if a storm was about to blow, Wu Jiao was almost startled by the change in her face.
Speaking of which, can Zheng Ji be unhappy?Because as the mother of a country, he is qualified to help the monarch to choose a spouse for the key ministers like Gongsun Xipeng. Zheng Ji is just a concubine wife now. Hearing Qihou suddenly say this, I was so excited that I was dying. Does your lord want to promote himself as wife?
Zheng Ji thought about this, and hurriedly said softly: "Reporting to your lord, there is someone in my heart. The woman is gentle and quiet, she is twenty-eight years old, she is beautiful, delicate, gentle and pleasant, and she will definitely win the favor of Da Sixing." of joy."
Qihou smiled and said, "Oh? Whose girl is it?"
Zheng Ji smiled and said: "The one who knows the root and the bottom is the cousin of the concubine's family, and the younger sister has always admired Da Sixing's behavior."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, let's forget about this matter. Xipeng is afraid of letting others down and dragging others down instead."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi said, "Let me down? Drag me down? How can I let you down and drag others down?"
Gongsun Xipeng said: "Your Majesty, it is really... It is really Xipeng who has no intentions."
Qihou glanced at Gongsun Xipeng, his tone became cold again, and said, "Xipeng, don't you want to marry forever?"
After Qihou asked this sentence, he looked at Gongsun Xipeng. Gongsun Xipeng was stunned for a moment, and instead of speaking, he lowered his head.
No one spoke for a while, only the sound of gurgling water and the slight sound of summer wind could be heard in the small building by the lake, the air seemed to freeze.
Wu Jiu glanced at Gongsun Xipeng quietly. Gongsun Xipeng lowered his head and pursed his lips, as if he knew what he had done wrong, but he still persisted.
Gongsun Xipeng has such a stubborn temper, Qi Hou was really angry to death, "Boom!" He slapped his palm on the bronze table, which made Zheng Ji tremble in fright. What's the matter, everyone makes the king angry.
Everyone didn't dare to breathe, Qi Hou said calmly: "Xi Peng, tell Gu the truth, are you doing it for Yong Wu?"
When he said this, Gongsun Xipeng stopped talking again, and Qi Hou sneered, and said, "Okay, what's so good about Yong Wu? I can let you, my majestic Qi State Da Sixing, put all my heart on him , just for Yong Wu, are you willing to never get married and have no heirs for the rest of your life?"
Gongsun Xipeng still didn't speak, just lowered his head, knelt down, and knelt down to plead guilty. Although this gesture was respectful, it didn't please Qi Hou, but made Qi Hou blush and stare at Gongsun Xi on the ground. friend.
When Zheng Ji saw this posture, blood was almost splashed on the spot, and she shrank back even more in fright, and gave her son Gong Zizhao winks, but Gong Zizhao had no right to speak, so she had to stand still.
Wu Jiao looked at Gongsun Xipeng's appearance, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart. Let's not talk about what kind of person Yong Wu is, but Wu Jiao is sure of what kind of person Gongsun Xipeng is. loyal.
If you talk about Gongsun Xipeng, Wu Jiu is the first to respect him.
Seeing that Gongsun Xipeng was silent and confronting Qihou, Wu Jiao seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, so he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to your lord first."
Qihou glanced at Wu Jiu, knowing that he would definitely speak for Gongsun Xipeng, so he said coolly, "What is there to congratulate?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Da Sixing is loyal, and he doesn't want to lie to your majesty, and he doesn't want to break his oath. Just think about it, my lord. If today Da Sixing tells a lie casually, and prevaricates your majesty, in order to The intelligence and intelligence of the chief minister can naturally be concealed from the king, but the chief minister did not do so, which shows that he is loyal, Qi has such a minister, so congratulations to the king."
After Qihou heard this, it's not that he didn't understand this truth in his heart, and Qihou was also doing it for the good of Gongsun Xipeng. If it wasn't because Gongsun Xipeng had been with him for 20 years, Qihou had been his loyal party member since he was a child, and Qihou would have opened his eyes. One eye is closed and the other is closed.
Qihou can't tolerate his cronies being with the person who murdered him in his previous life, absolutely not.
Qi Hou knew that he wanted to give face to Gongsun Xipeng, and he also wanted to correct Wu. After all, he was still in front of Zheng Ji and son Zhao. Face must be given enough.
Qihou laughed and said: "Okay, Xi Peng, you are so infatuated, I respect you alone, but what does Wu Yong think of you? Do you know?"
Gongsun Xipeng pondered for a while, but this time he did not stop talking, but said: "Xipeng...don't know."
Qi Hou smiled again, he knew that Gongsun Xipeng didn't know.
Qi Hou said lightly: "Come on, go and find Yong Wu."
The eunuch responded quickly, and trotted to find Yi Ya.
Gongsun Xipeng was taken aback, he didn't know what Qihou wanted to do with Yi Ya, Yi Ya soon came over, he was wearing very inconspicuous clothes, not gorgeous at all, he looked like a coolie.
After all, now that he is disabled, he can't cook anymore, and has no position in the palace. If it wasn't because he was Di'er's father, he might have been kicked out of the palace.
Yi Ya walked over step by step, his legs were a little limp, although it was only slight, and he was still covered by a robe, but he trembled slightly when he walked.
Yi Ya still had scars on his face. There was a scar from his eyes down to his neck, which almost pierced into his eye sockets. Just looking at the scars, he felt that it was very dangerous at that time.
Yi Ya's face was gray and white, and he could vaguely see the stunning beauty of the past, but at first glance, the scar was a bit hideous and terrifying, and because he was too thin and his cheeks were slightly sunken, it wasn't too attractive.
Yi Ya came over, clasped his hands and said, "Yong Wu pays respects to your lord, to your son, and to Da Si Xing Da Si Nong."
Gongsun Xipeng glanced at Yi Ya anxiously, Qi Hou saw Gongsun Xipeng's concerned expression, and his mood was even worse.
Then he said coldly: "Yong Wu, just now I introduced the marriage to Da Sixing alone, what do you think about this matter?"
Yi Ya was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Wu Yong is a grassroots man, he dare not speak to the chief minister about marriage."
Qihou smiled and said, "Look, Xi Peng, Wu Yong doesn't care whether you are married or not."
Gongsun Xipeng glanced at Yi Ya, then looked at Qihou, and said, "Your Majesty, getting married is Xi Peng's business, not Yong Wu's business."
When Qi Hou heard that he was still stubborn, Gongsun Xipeng had a surprised face just now, and he was obviously lost in it. Qi Hou saw Gongsun Xipeng's loss for a moment, although he quickly hid it, he was really angry. After all, Gongsun Xipeng Peng has always followed Qihou. In Qihou's heart, Gongsun Xipeng is just like his younger brother. I am afraid that he is closer than his brother. Without Gongsun Xipeng's great help, Qihou would not be where he is today. Hou did it for the good of Gongsun Xipeng, but his views were very domineering, and he wanted to impose it on Gongsun Xipeng.
Qihou sneered and said, "Okay, then I'll just ask one question, something related to both of you."
When he said this, everyone looked at Qi Hou strangely. Qi Hou smiled speculatively and said, "Yong Wu, I ask you alone. Just now, Da Sixing said that he is infatuated with you and doesn't want to marry a wife in his life. Now Gu asked you, would you like to marry Da Sixing?"
Wu Jiu was taken aback, he was sure his ears heard correctly, because everyone was also so surprised, Qihou used "marry".
Sure enough, Marquis Qi said mockingly again: "I will marry you into the Da Si Xing's mansion in female attire. If you agree today, I will personally officiate the marriage for you and make you Da Si Xing's wife, how about it?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Wu Jiao understood, Qihou's sneering face was a sure sign that Yi Ya would not agree, after all Yi Ya was a bit arrogant, he didn't ask for anything when he was imprisoned, he seemed a bit arrogant, This arrogance is what Qi Hou can't understand the most.
Qihou was sure that he could not marry Gongsun Xipeng as a woman, so he was so confident, and continued: "How is it? Xipeng is infatuated with you, but, in Gu's opinion..."
Before he finished his words, Wu Jiu had an intuition that Qihou would be slapped in the face...
Sure enough, before Wu Jiu finished thinking, he heard Yi Ya hand in hand and said calmly, "Why not?"
Qi Hou was taken aback, and Zheng Ji next to her was also startled, and stared at her eyes. After all, this matter is really appalling. The majestic chief executive of a country actually married a man who was once a prisoner.
When Marquis Qi was in a daze, Yi Ya said again: "Wu Yong is so virtuous, he is so grateful for being favored by the chief minister, not to mention women's attire, even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, Wu Yong will not hesitate to do so. "
It wasn't just Qi Hou who was stunned. It was the first time Gongsun Xipeng heard Yi Ya speak like this. His voice was slightly hoarse, but every word was very clear. The clarity seemed to shock the deaf. Gongsun Xipeng was a little unbelievable, and said: "You ..."
Qihou was really going to die of anger, he finally understood what it means to shoot a rock at his own foot, his lungs would explode.
Seeing that Marquis Qi's complexion was not good, Wu Jiao raised her eyebrows with disgust on Zheng Ji's face. She cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Da Sixing."
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu and said, "Why do you like it?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan presided over the marriage, and the chief secretary Xing was happy to get a spouse. It is a great joy for the Qi State. Since last year, our Qi State has been plagued by natural disasters, prosperity, and prosperity.
With a smile on his face, Wu Jiu hugged a jar of leftovers, "Boom!" and put it on the table, then used a large dagger to scoop out a large spoonful of leftovers and put it in a nearby bowl.
Everyone looked at Wu Jiu's movements and didn't know what he was going to do. Wu Jiao filled out a lot of leftovers, thought about Qihou's meal, and thought about four big eggs, so he filled out two spoonfuls of leftovers. .
Wu Jiao finished the leftovers, pressed them with a big dagger, and pressed the sticky rice to loosen up a little, then began to cut mushrooms, bamboo shoots, some small side dishes, and a few shrimps, all of them were chopped Cheng Xiaoding sprinkled a handful of green beans, and found some sauces, the most important thing in the palace is all kinds of sauces, there are all kinds of sauces.
There are also various fish sauces that are similar to soy sauce, but are much more expensive than soy sauce.
Wu Jiao poured the diced vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them, then poured in the leftover rice, added seasonings to taste, finally poured some fish sauce in, and stirred it vigorously with a big dagger, the action was very simple and rough.
Wu Jiu rolled up his sleeves, because of previous injuries, the scars on his arms had fallen off a few times, but they hadn't completely faded, and he could see them as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, winding on his fair forearm, which looked a bit dazzling, It makes people feel distressed and gives people a fragile beauty.
But it is such a fragile and aesthetically pleasing Wu Jiao, who is stirring the leftovers vigorously. The action made the cooks look at it and think that he will use this bowl of leftovers to feed chickens and ducks later...
Wu Jiu seasoned the leftover rice, because the color of the leftover rice was not as beautiful as freshly made white rice, so Wu Jiu deliberately added a little fish sauce and then a little vegetable oil to make the rice look crystal clear , the white rice and the amber fish sauce seem to be plated with a layer of gold, and the color is very bright and gratifying.
Immediately Wu Jiu cracked open the eggs, beat four big eggs together, it was a big bowl, poured it into the pot with a "crash", spread it out, and made it into thin round cakes, seasoned them well, fried them The leftover rice is poured on the golden egg skin, rolled with chopsticks, and a super-large omelet rice comes out of the pan.
Wu Jiao took out the super big omelet rice, put it on a huge bronze plate, and then used fish sauce to draw a smiling face on the omelet rice, and it was done.
After Wu Jiao had done all this, he hurriedly asked someone to bring the omelette and went to the small bedroom. It didn't take long to come and go, Qi Hou was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be ready so soon, how could he know that Wu Jiao Used leftovers...
As soon as Wu Jiu came in, Qihou could smell the deliciousness of omelet rice, the fresh smell of fish sauce, the fragrance of fried rice, the smell of shrimps, mushrooms and green beans mixed together, he couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of green beans, or the seafood of shrimps Aroma, or the overbearing aroma of mushrooms.
Qi Hou saw a golden omelet rice on a big bronze plate with a playful smiling face painted on it.
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, have you eaten? Let's sit down and eat together."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast, and there was a "gurgle" in his stomach. Qi Hou was taken aback, and then he laughed, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother, come quickly."
Qihou and Wu Jiu sat down facing each other again, with an omelet made of four eggs placed in the middle, Qihou held a small dagger, pointed at the smiling face on the omelet, and said, "This smiling face is as good-looking as the second brother."
Wu Jiao felt that not only his eyelids twitched, but also his cheeks almost twitched. How could Qi Hou see that this abstract smiling face drawn by hand was the same as his own?
Qi Hou said again: "It must be full of gold and jade, and it is as delicious as the second brother."
As Qihou said, he even licked his lips lightly, the action was really ambiguous, Wu Jiao quickly lowered his head, knowing that Qihou was tirelessly teasing himself again.
Seeing that Wu Jiu didn't raise his head, Qi Hou couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so he stopped flirting with Wu Jiu, and pierced the egg skin with a small dagger. The golden egg skin was not thick, and it was pierced through at once, and a burst of heat instantly rose. "Huh!" Suddenly, the aroma overflowed, and the fragrant smell rose along with the heat. The hot mixed aroma stuffed in the egg skin has been completely evaporated after frying, and the aroma is indescribable.
As the egg skin was pierced, the heat dissipated, and the light amber-colored white rice and diced vegetables were wrapped in it, and it rolled out "gululu". It was golden and white in an instant, and the green color of green beans was like jade. A sense of sight full of gold and jade, very festive.
Qihou was immediately attracted by the color, smelled the rich aroma, and immediately scooped some up with a small dagger, and put it in his mouth with fish sauce, shelled shrimp, tough mushrooms, crispy bamboo shoots, fragrant green beans, white rice Smooth, this series of textures are put into the mouth, layer upon layer intertwined with each other, with the fragrant and tender egg skin on the outside, and the salty fish sauce, it will not look monotonous at all. After taking a bite, Qihou will be Show a surprised expression.
Wu Jiu watched with a smile as Qi Hou ate two big mouthfuls. Although Qi Hou sometimes looked full of aristocratic style, when it came to eating, he was really not coquettish at all. His eating was elegant and especially contagious.
Wu Jiao was really hungry when he saw Qi Hou eating like this. Qi Hou ate several mouthfuls before realizing that Wu Jiao hadn't eaten. He said: "Second brother's gold and jade are too big to eat alone, why not share the food?"
It is a great honor to eat with the king. It is not uncommon for the king to give food, but it is really rare to eat something from the same plate with the king.
After all, this era is still a meal-sharing system, especially for the nobles. Food cannot be enjoyed with others, because in the eyes of the nobles, food is right, and eating good food is a symbol of status and status. Just imagine how a nobleman can share food with others. What about sharing your identity and status?
However, Qi Hou gave half of his omelet rice to Wu Jiao with a frank face. Wu Jiao was also hungry, so he picked up a small dagger to scoop up the omelet rice and put it into his mouth.
Qi Hou saw that Wu Jiu was holding his big sleeve robe with one hand, and holding a small dagger in the other, and he was very gracefully putting the omelette rice into his mouth, his movements were delicate and elegant.
Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother's eating movements are also pretty."
Wu Jiao was taken aback for a moment, feeling ashamed to eat, who likes to be stared at while eating, and has a wolfish face, wishing that Wu Jiao was the omelet rice on the plate...
Under Qi Hou's pressure, Wu Jiu ate some omelet rice. In fact, it was because it was almost noon. He ate some omelet rice from Qi Hou. count less.
Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks or dagger after eating, Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second Brother eats so little, you should use your body more."
Wu Jiao was afraid that he would not be able to use his lunch for a while, which would make things worse. After Qi Hou said so much, he was actually greedy for Wu Jiao's leftover quarter of omelet rice, so Qi Hou said it, and said that it should not be wasted. So I took away the quarter of the omelet rice, and two bites were enough.
Wu Jiu watched Qi Hou eat the [-]-egg omelet with an unsatisfactory expression on his face, and couldn't help feeling a little numb in his back, thinking that Qi Hou had such a big head, so he was eating it.
The two of them just finished eating omelet rice, Wu Jiao had breakfast, and Qi Hou had an extra meal between breakfast and lunch. Qi Hou wiped his mouth gracefully, drank a cup of fruit tea, and smiled with satisfaction on his face.
At this time, the eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son is asking to see you."
When Qi Hou heard that it was Young Master Wu Kui who came, he frowned subconsciously. Wu Jiu saw his action. After all, Wu Jiu was an extremely sensitive person, so he couldn't help but turn around in his heart. It could be seen that Qi Hou didn't wait. See no loss.
However, logically speaking, Young Master Wu Kui has a good appearance and possesses martial arts skills. Furthermore, he is humble and polite, and treats his subordinates very gently. He doesn't put on airs like a Young Master. Although it can be seen that he is not sincere, but as a Young Master, this is enough.
Furthermore, Young Master Wu Kui still had some achievements during the War of Time and Water, so Qihou shouldn't dislike Young Master Wu Kui no matter what.
From the mother's point of view, Chang Weiji was a favored concubine in history. Although she was not a real wife, all food and clothing were treated according to the wife's etiquette. The famous courtier Yi Ya was recorded in history. He and Wei Kaifang were both favorite ministers around Chang Weiji, and later they were introduced to Duke Huan of Qi, and Duke Huan of Qi favored him even more.
In this way, it can be seen that Chang Weiji is actually favored.
After thinking about it, Wu Jiu felt that there was really no reason why Marquis Qi didn't love the eldest son, and he could only think that Marquis Wei was always jumping around restlessly, which annoyed Marquis Qi, and thus implicated the son Wu who was half of the blood of the Weiren. loss.
Qihou didn't want to see him, but he had to have a reason for not wanting to see him. If there was no one there, Qihou would say that he was busy and didn't see him. Now that Wu Jiu was present, Qihou couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, so he said: "Please ask him Come in."
Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Jiu will leave first..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Hou raised his hand and said, "No, the second brother can just sit down, and I will talk to the second brother about the canonization later."
Young Master Wu Kui walked in while they were talking, greeted Qihou and Wu Jiu very politely, and said, "Wu Kui pays homage to your father and uncle."
Hearing the etiquette of Young Master Wu Kui to Wu Jiu, Qi Hou changed his mind slightly, nodded, and said, "What's the matter?"
Only then did Young Master Wu Kui stand up, cupped his hands respectfully and said: "My son knows that your father will send troops to attack Sui Kingdom soon, so I come here to ask for orders, and I am willing to go to Sui Kingdom to share your father's worries."
It is imperative to send troops to attack the Sui Kingdom. The Lu State did not agree to it before, but Lu Gong jumped over the wall in a hurry and did such a low-level thing as a hostage, and there was no chance for him to disagree.
Because the crusade against the Sui Kingdom was a move to respect the king and fight against the barbarians, the five countries had already signed an alliance, and they just waited for the emperor Zhou to speak. In this way, adding the troops of the Luo division, the total was the six-nation coalition.
In this way, although each country only sends out a few soldiers and horses, they are a huge force when twisted together. Isn't it a free thing for such a large army to crush a small country?
Young Master Wu Kui knew in his heart that sending troops to crusade against the Sui Kingdom this time was a matter of great benefit and harmless, and the benefits were too numerous to count.
First, this is a battle that must be won, and military exploits are at your fingertips.
Second, this is fighting with the master of the king. The reputation is excellent, and the name is justified, which helps to spread prestige among the countries.
Thirdly, the most urgent thing for Mr. Wukui is to stand out. Mr. Zhao has already served as a supervisor of the country, but Mr. Wukui, the boss, has not made much achievements. If things go on like this, Mr. Wukui knows that he must be the loser , he must come forward, this is a great opportunity.
Young Master Wu Kui cupped his hands and finished speaking, but Qi Hou remained silent. Wu Jiu sat beside him and glanced at Qi Hou strangely. Staring at Young Master Wu Kui, a pair of tiger eyes rolled slightly in his eye sockets.
Turning eyes is actually a manifestation of thinking, recollection, conjecture, and planning based on psychology. Qihou's eyes swayed slightly. Although he squinted, Wu Jiao could see clearly. He didn't know what Qihou was thinking of. But Qi Hou must have thought of a lot in an instant.
Young Master Wu Kui waited for a long time, then raised his head slightly in surprise, just in time to meet Qi Hou's eyes, Young Master Wu Kui was a little surprised for a moment, and quickly lowered his head again.
I heard Qi Hou finally say: "I have to think about this matter."
Qihou wanted to think about it. In fact, he had already thought about it in his heart. He wanted Prince Zhao, his youngest son, to serve as the general of the army. There is no merit at all, and it cannot convince the public.
Qihou had already thought about it, this time sending troops to Suiguo is a good job, this kind of good job, I have to leave it to my son Zhaolai to make a name for himself, how can he do nothing to the son who will rebel in the future.
Qihou also knows that he is very biased, but if he is not biased, his end may be as miserable as his previous life. Qihou knows that there is also his own reason for this, but it is also due to the ambition of the son Wukui. He cannot let the tragedy of the son Zhao Repeat again.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit frozen, Wu Jiu felt that he should leave just now.
Young Master Wu Kui seemed to have expected that Marquis Qi would reject him a long time ago. He was not too surprised, but was very disappointed. A look of disappointment appeared on his handsome face, and he said respectfully, "Yes, Father Jun."
He said, put down his hands, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Father Jun...do you have someone in charge in mind?"
Qihou glanced at the son Wukui, knowing that the eldest son might have grown up, and started to test himself, he just smiled and said: "Not yet, I have to discuss this matter with the old general Da Sima."
Young Master Wu Kui heard that Marquis Qi had moved out Prince Sima Cheng's father, so he could only cup his hands and say, "Yes, then the son will not disturb Junfu and Uncle's business, son...retire first."
Young Master Wu Kui knew very well in his heart that any discussion was just an excuse, and Qi Hou was just trying to shirk and didn't want him to make meritorious service.
After the young master saluted without loss, he left the small bedroom.
Wu Jiu watched the interaction between father and son, and suddenly thought of his own life experience. Wu Jiu had never enjoyed father's love, and he didn't know what father's love was like. It seems that I can empathize, and my heart trembles a little.
The canonization of Wu Jiu as the chief minister is scheduled for the beginning of next month. During this period, Wu Jiu is not yet the chief minister, and his last free time will be at this moment. Once he becomes the chief minister, it will indeed be a fat post. But he has to get up early and be greedy for night, and go to court when it is dark, and work in the political affairs hall after the court.
Wu Jiu has been enjoying his leisure for the past few days. The weather this day is very good. It will soon be summer. The weather is warming up, the flowers in the garden are beginning to bloom, and the sparkling water of the lake is very beautiful.
Wu Jiu was still lying on the couch, and Yan E was pinching his shoulders, when Ziqing came in and said, "My lord..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Jiu interrupted Ziqing like a landlord, and said with a smile, "Your name is Lord."
Ziqing: "..." Almost choked to death in an instant.
Seeing Wu Jiu's gentlemanly demeanor, Ziqing said helplessly, "Master... Your Majesty invites you to the garden."
Wu Jiao asked in surprise, "What are you doing in the garden? Pulling flowers? Your Majesty wants to eat pancakes with flowers?"
Ziqing was even more helpless, the blue veins on his forehead popped up, and said: "Today Zheng Ji held a flower viewing feast in the garden, and invited you to come over, and just now you said that the scenery is very good, please invite young master to go and enjoy the flowers."
When Wu Jiao heard this, his scalp went numb, and he felt so weird, the empress concubine invited Qi Hou to enjoy the flowers, but Qi Hou actually pulled himself up, what does this mean?
But Marquis Qi had already spoken, so Wu Jiao had no choice but to get up, tidy up reluctantly, and then went out to the garden.
When Wu Jiu arrived in the garden, he saw Qihou sitting in a small building by the water, and Zheng Ji was dancing in front of him. Zheng Ji was wearing a white dress with a tulle coat, looking hazy And graceful, dancing, graceful.
Apart from Zheng Ji and Qi Hou, there was also a young man standing beside Qi Hou. Wu Jiu hadn't seen Young Master Zhao for some time, but he didn't expect Young Master Zhao to be so tall.
Wu Jiao walked over and found that Young Master Zhao was taller than him, and his body was tall and straight, much stronger than himself. The small flesh on his cheeks disappeared, and he became handsome and tough. An attractive, very attractive young man.
Wu Jiu walked into the small building and waited respectfully, "Jiu pays homage to Your Majesty."
When Young Master Zhao saw Wu Jiu, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Zhao pays homage to Second Uncle."
When everyone saw the ceremony, Qi Hou smiled unhurriedly and said: "Come on, second brother sit here, the scenery is good today, and there is good wine, I just thought, I haven't talked with second brother for a long time .”
Wu Jiao saw that Zheng Ji was dressed brightly and worked very hard, obviously she was here to please Qi Hou, but Qi Hou called him over, even if Zheng Ji didn't fight, he would still hold a grudge against Wu Jiao.
Wu Jiu gritted his teeth and said with a dry smile, "Please show me your honor, and Jiu will listen carefully."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Don't be so introverted, relax."
Gongzi Zhao didn't have any special expression, he looked more mature and serious than before, standing quietly, pursing his lips, pressing the corners of his mouth, Wu Jiao found that he was more and more like Marquis Qi, the expression of stern mouth, really Exactly the same, carved out of a mold.
However, Zheng Ji was not very happy. Although Qi Hou loved her in the past because she did not fight or snatch her, in fact, not fighting or snatching is a means of fighting for favor. Zheng Ji is well versed in this truth, but Zheng Ji still wants to Those who climbed up, who married into the palace would not want to be the mother of the country?
Now that Wu Jiu came to make trouble, how happy Zheng Ji was.
Qihou was just talking about something, chatting all over the world, at this moment, Young Master Zhao suddenly cupped his fists and said, "Father, Zhaoer has something to report and I want to report it."
Qihou laughed and said, "Oh? What's the matter? Zhao'er is so serious?"
Gong Zizhao said: "It is a matter of sending troops to conquer the country. Zhao'er secretly thinks that my elder brother has both literary and military talents, and sometimes has the experience of winning the battle of water. He is prudent and mature, and he is not arrogant or rash. He is the best person to send troops to command. Please sir father to consider."
When Qi Hou heard this, his smile visibly froze, and Wu Jiu could see it clearly, because Wu Jiu was present when Young Master Wu Kui asked for his order before, and he obviously knew that Qi Hou was unwilling to let Young Master Wu Kui take charge, so now Qi Hou's As soon as his expression moved, Wu Jiu knew that Qi Hou was still unwilling.
Seeing Qihou's expression, Young Master Zhao immediately said, "Father Jun, elder brother..."
At this point in what he said, Zheng Ji also became anxious, attacking the good job of Sui country, her son didn't know what was going on in her mind, she didn't fight for it herself, but gave it to Wei Ji's son to fight for it.
Zheng Ji and her son have never been close, because they are all focused on fighting for favor, and it was only when Chang Wei Ji's son Wu Kui became intimate with Gongzi Zhao that Zheng Ji realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
It can be said that Gongzi Zhao is a follower of Gongzi Wukui, Zheng Ji has no idea what kind of ecstasy soup Gongzi Wukui poured into Gongzi Zhao, so that Gongzi Zhao admired his big brother so much.
Gongzi Zhao hadn't finished speaking, Zheng Ji wanted to interrupt, but Qi Hou suddenly said indifferently: "Enough."
As soon as his words came out, Young Master Zhao and Zheng Ji were taken aback, and Wu Jiu also looked up at Qi Hou, not knowing why Qi Hou suddenly became angry.
Zheng Ji quickly said, "Zhao'er, quickly apologize to Father Jun."
Young Master Zhao lowered his eyelids, and before he could speak, Marquis Qi had already adjusted his mentality, turned his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and said with a smile, "Zhaoer is not wrong, but today is a good time, let's not talk about political affairs."
Gong Zizhao lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes, Father Jun."
As they were talking, they happened to see a person passing by. The person was dressed in official robes, which set off his tall and imposing figure. Qi Hou saw that it was Gongsun Xipeng.
He said loudly, "Xi Peng."
Gongsun Xipeng didn't expect Qihou, Wu Jiu, Zheng Ji, and Gongzi Zhao to be in the garden. This combination was a bit strange, so he hurriedly stood still, greeted Qihou and Gongzi Jiu, and greeted Gongzi Zhao.
Qi Hou was about to change the subject, so he smiled and said, "Where is Xi Peng going? Isn't it Xiu Mu today?"
Gongsun Xipeng's face froze a bit, he couldn't say anything, because he really had a rest today and wanted to visit Yi Ya.
But Gongsun Xipeng knew that Qihou had a deep grudge against Yi Ya, so he didn't dare to speak out, but he couldn't lie to Qihou, so he hesitated for a while, and said, "Xi Peng is going to visit Yongwu."
Sure enough, Qi Hou just listened to it, and gave a low laugh, with a bit of sternness in his smile, and said, "Oh, Yong Wu, Gu almost forgot about him."
During Wu Jiu's envoy to Beixing Huimeng, Yi Ya's injury has healed, and he can stay in bed and walk around, and he doesn't need other people to take care of him when he eats and walks. It's just that Yi Ya's right leg is slightly lame, and the scar on his face Because it is too deep, there are two that can’t fall off no matter what. The most important thing is that Yi Ya’s voice is still hoarse. Although it doesn’t seem to feel good to speak with breath, but it will not work after a long time. It will reveal its true colors, as if it is the voice of smoking all the year round.
And his sense of taste, because of the long-term poisoning and high fever, although the toxins in Yi Ya's body have been removed, he has no sense of taste. No matter whether it is sweet, bitter, spicy or salty, it tastes the same to Yi Ya.
This is naturally the biggest blow to a cook, but fortunately, Yi Ya doesn't remember the past, nor does he seem to remember that he knows how to cook.
Today, Gongsun Xipeng was resting and wanted to visit Yi Ya, but he was caught by Marquis Qi when he happened to pass by the garden.
Gongsun Xipeng didn't want to lie, so he told the truth, but he didn't know that telling the truth would make people more angry than lying, and Qihou's complexion suddenly became ugly.
Just now because of the fact that Young Master Zhao recommended Young Master Wukui, in fact, Qi Hou is not very happy. After all, Qi Hou agreed to get together with Zheng Ji today, not for Zheng Ji, but for Young Master Zhao, so that the people in the harem can see Look, I mistakenly thought that Zheng Ji was favored, which would also benefit the status of Young Master Zhao.
Because in the eyes of the courtiers and foreign ministers, the eldest son not only has military exploits, but is also the eldest son. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the elders are not passed down to the younger. Qihou took a fancy to the son Zhao, so he naturally wanted to remove obstacles for him.
Young Master Zhao just recommended the eldest son at this time, can Qihou not be angry?
Qihou was angry just now, and now he is even more angry. Both Gongzi Wukui and Yi Ya were under house arrest in the previous life. After all, Gongzi Wukui is his son, and Yi Ya is just a favorite minister. Qihou's monarch naturally has a violent temper He pointed at Yi Ya, but not at his son.
Seeing that Marquis Qi's complexion was not good, Wu Jiao secretly sweated Gongsun Xipeng, thinking in his heart that Da Sixing was too sincere, and Marquis Qi's temper, even if he could tolerate Guan Yiwu who shot him, Chang Shao defeated Cao GUI who was holding him hostage, but he was a king after all, so he was naturally very temperamental.
Qihou's face was extremely ugly, just now Zheng Ji could say a few nice words about Gongzi Zhao's matter, now it's about Gongsun Xipeng's matter, Zheng Ji didn't care, so she was anxious, thinking that she didn't read the almanac when she went out, He obviously only wanted to please Qihou, how could he know that he would be so obsessed?
Qihou was silent for a while, then suddenly suppressed his anger, turned his head and smiled at Zheng Ji, and said, "Xi Peng is an old Qi, a nobleman of our Qi country, and a key minister. He is not young now, is he?" It's time to start a family, does Zheng Ji have any sweet girl in her heart, introduce her to Xi Peng?"
When Zheng Ji heard it, her heart suddenly became excited, as if a storm was about to blow, Wu Jiao was almost startled by the change in her face.
Speaking of which, can Zheng Ji be unhappy?Because as the mother of a country, he is qualified to help the monarch to choose a spouse for the key ministers like Gongsun Xipeng. Zheng Ji is just a concubine wife now. Hearing Qihou suddenly say this, I was so excited that I was dying. Does your lord want to promote himself as wife?
Zheng Ji thought about this, and hurriedly said softly: "Reporting to your lord, there is someone in my heart. The woman is gentle and quiet, she is twenty-eight years old, she is beautiful, delicate, gentle and pleasant, and she will definitely win the favor of Da Sixing." of joy."
Qihou smiled and said, "Oh? Whose girl is it?"
Zheng Ji smiled and said: "The one who knows the root and the bottom is the cousin of the concubine's family, and the younger sister has always admired Da Sixing's behavior."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, let's forget about this matter. Xipeng is afraid of letting others down and dragging others down instead."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi said, "Let me down? Drag me down? How can I let you down and drag others down?"
Gongsun Xipeng said: "Your Majesty, it is really... It is really Xipeng who has no intentions."
Qihou glanced at Gongsun Xipeng, his tone became cold again, and said, "Xipeng, don't you want to marry forever?"
After Qihou asked this sentence, he looked at Gongsun Xipeng. Gongsun Xipeng was stunned for a moment, and instead of speaking, he lowered his head.
No one spoke for a while, only the sound of gurgling water and the slight sound of summer wind could be heard in the small building by the lake, the air seemed to freeze.
Wu Jiu glanced at Gongsun Xipeng quietly. Gongsun Xipeng lowered his head and pursed his lips, as if he knew what he had done wrong, but he still persisted.
Gongsun Xipeng has such a stubborn temper, Qi Hou was really angry to death, "Boom!" He slapped his palm on the bronze table, which made Zheng Ji tremble in fright. What's the matter, everyone makes the king angry.
Everyone didn't dare to breathe, Qi Hou said calmly: "Xi Peng, tell Gu the truth, are you doing it for Yong Wu?"
When he said this, Gongsun Xipeng stopped talking again, and Qi Hou sneered, and said, "Okay, what's so good about Yong Wu? I can let you, my majestic Qi State Da Sixing, put all my heart on him , just for Yong Wu, are you willing to never get married and have no heirs for the rest of your life?"
Gongsun Xipeng still didn't speak, just lowered his head, knelt down, and knelt down to plead guilty. Although this gesture was respectful, it didn't please Qi Hou, but made Qi Hou blush and stare at Gongsun Xi on the ground. friend.
When Zheng Ji saw this posture, blood was almost splashed on the spot, and she shrank back even more in fright, and gave her son Gong Zizhao winks, but Gong Zizhao had no right to speak, so she had to stand still.
Wu Jiao looked at Gongsun Xipeng's appearance, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart. Let's not talk about what kind of person Yong Wu is, but Wu Jiao is sure of what kind of person Gongsun Xipeng is. loyal.
If you talk about Gongsun Xipeng, Wu Jiu is the first to respect him.
Seeing that Gongsun Xipeng was silent and confronting Qihou, Wu Jiao seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, so he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to your lord first."
Qihou glanced at Wu Jiu, knowing that he would definitely speak for Gongsun Xipeng, so he said coolly, "What is there to congratulate?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Da Sixing is loyal, and he doesn't want to lie to your majesty, and he doesn't want to break his oath. Just think about it, my lord. If today Da Sixing tells a lie casually, and prevaricates your majesty, in order to The intelligence and intelligence of the chief minister can naturally be concealed from the king, but the chief minister did not do so, which shows that he is loyal, Qi has such a minister, so congratulations to the king."
After Qihou heard this, it's not that he didn't understand this truth in his heart, and Qihou was also doing it for the good of Gongsun Xipeng. If it wasn't because Gongsun Xipeng had been with him for 20 years, Qihou had been his loyal party member since he was a child, and Qihou would have opened his eyes. One eye is closed and the other is closed.
Qihou can't tolerate his cronies being with the person who murdered him in his previous life, absolutely not.
Qi Hou knew that he wanted to give face to Gongsun Xipeng, and he also wanted to correct Wu. After all, he was still in front of Zheng Ji and son Zhao. Face must be given enough.
Qihou laughed and said: "Okay, Xi Peng, you are so infatuated, I respect you alone, but what does Wu Yong think of you? Do you know?"
Gongsun Xipeng pondered for a while, but this time he did not stop talking, but said: "Xipeng...don't know."
Qi Hou smiled again, he knew that Gongsun Xipeng didn't know.
Qi Hou said lightly: "Come on, go and find Yong Wu."
The eunuch responded quickly, and trotted to find Yi Ya.
Gongsun Xipeng was taken aback, he didn't know what Qihou wanted to do with Yi Ya, Yi Ya soon came over, he was wearing very inconspicuous clothes, not gorgeous at all, he looked like a coolie.
After all, now that he is disabled, he can't cook anymore, and has no position in the palace. If it wasn't because he was Di'er's father, he might have been kicked out of the palace.
Yi Ya walked over step by step, his legs were a little limp, although it was only slight, and he was still covered by a robe, but he trembled slightly when he walked.
Yi Ya still had scars on his face. There was a scar from his eyes down to his neck, which almost pierced into his eye sockets. Just looking at the scars, he felt that it was very dangerous at that time.
Yi Ya's face was gray and white, and he could vaguely see the stunning beauty of the past, but at first glance, the scar was a bit hideous and terrifying, and because he was too thin and his cheeks were slightly sunken, it wasn't too attractive.
Yi Ya came over, clasped his hands and said, "Yong Wu pays respects to your lord, to your son, and to Da Si Xing Da Si Nong."
Gongsun Xipeng glanced at Yi Ya anxiously, Qi Hou saw Gongsun Xipeng's concerned expression, and his mood was even worse.
Then he said coldly: "Yong Wu, just now I introduced the marriage to Da Sixing alone, what do you think about this matter?"
Yi Ya was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Wu Yong is a grassroots man, he dare not speak to the chief minister about marriage."
Qihou smiled and said, "Look, Xi Peng, Wu Yong doesn't care whether you are married or not."
Gongsun Xipeng glanced at Yi Ya, then looked at Qihou, and said, "Your Majesty, getting married is Xi Peng's business, not Yong Wu's business."
When Qi Hou heard that he was still stubborn, Gongsun Xipeng had a surprised face just now, and he was obviously lost in it. Qi Hou saw Gongsun Xipeng's loss for a moment, although he quickly hid it, he was really angry. After all, Gongsun Xipeng Peng has always followed Qihou. In Qihou's heart, Gongsun Xipeng is just like his younger brother. I am afraid that he is closer than his brother. Without Gongsun Xipeng's great help, Qihou would not be where he is today. Hou did it for the good of Gongsun Xipeng, but his views were very domineering, and he wanted to impose it on Gongsun Xipeng.
Qihou sneered and said, "Okay, then I'll just ask one question, something related to both of you."
When he said this, everyone looked at Qi Hou strangely. Qi Hou smiled speculatively and said, "Yong Wu, I ask you alone. Just now, Da Sixing said that he is infatuated with you and doesn't want to marry a wife in his life. Now Gu asked you, would you like to marry Da Sixing?"
Wu Jiu was taken aback, he was sure his ears heard correctly, because everyone was also so surprised, Qihou used "marry".
Sure enough, Marquis Qi said mockingly again: "I will marry you into the Da Si Xing's mansion in female attire. If you agree today, I will personally officiate the marriage for you and make you Da Si Xing's wife, how about it?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Wu Jiao understood, Qihou's sneering face was a sure sign that Yi Ya would not agree, after all Yi Ya was a bit arrogant, he didn't ask for anything when he was imprisoned, he seemed a bit arrogant, This arrogance is what Qi Hou can't understand the most.
Qihou was sure that he could not marry Gongsun Xipeng as a woman, so he was so confident, and continued: "How is it? Xipeng is infatuated with you, but, in Gu's opinion..."
Before he finished his words, Wu Jiu had an intuition that Qihou would be slapped in the face...
Sure enough, before Wu Jiu finished thinking, he heard Yi Ya hand in hand and said calmly, "Why not?"
Qi Hou was taken aback, and Zheng Ji next to her was also startled, and stared at her eyes. After all, this matter is really appalling. The majestic chief executive of a country actually married a man who was once a prisoner.
When Marquis Qi was in a daze, Yi Ya said again: "Wu Yong is so virtuous, he is so grateful for being favored by the chief minister, not to mention women's attire, even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, Wu Yong will not hesitate to do so. "
It wasn't just Qi Hou who was stunned. It was the first time Gongsun Xipeng heard Yi Ya speak like this. His voice was slightly hoarse, but every word was very clear. The clarity seemed to shock the deaf. Gongsun Xipeng was a little unbelievable, and said: "You ..."
Qihou was really going to die of anger, he finally understood what it means to shoot a rock at his own foot, his lungs would explode.
Seeing that Marquis Qi's complexion was not good, Wu Jiao raised her eyebrows with disgust on Zheng Ji's face. She cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Da Sixing."
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu and said, "Why do you like it?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan presided over the marriage, and the chief secretary Xing was happy to get a spouse. It is a great joy for the Qi State. Since last year, our Qi State has been plagued by natural disasters, prosperity, and prosperity.
