Eighth Master cuts leeks in Qing Chuanwen

Chen Menglei was very puzzled, and said: "Dare to ask Ba Ye, what are these poems used for?"

Yun Hu said simply and clearly: "Sing praises."

Chen Menglei: "..."

Yunyu said again: "Also, choose a few poems that praise virtue and write them into calligraphy and calligraphy."

Chen Menglei didn't know what Yunxuan was going to do anymore, but Yunxuan asked him to write it, so he just wrote it.

Chen Menglei nodded and said, "It's Baye."

Just as Chen Menglei was about to leave, Yunxu remembered something and said, "Oh yes, I will do it tomorrow, please trouble Mr. Chen to work overtime today."

Chen Menglei: "..." Working overtime... singing praises?

Because time was tight and the task was heavy, Chen Menglei hurriedly left. Yunxuan arranged work, threw away the shopkeeper, and lay comfortably on the bed, thinking that when Mr. Chen replaced Gao Shiqi in front of the emperor, there would be no Kangxi. It's much easier to dote on.

Yunxu slept comfortably, got up the next day, stretched, thinking in her heart, wondering what happened to Mr. Chen's praises.

After he washed, he left the room and went to find Chen Menglei. Chen Menglei happened to come to him with calligraphy in his hands and said, "Baye, this is the calligraphy and poetry that Baye wanted."

Yunxu took it over and took a look, hey, good guy, Chen Menglei's calligraphy is not a bragging rights. Although Yunxuan didn't have much research on calligraphy, even a layman would find Chen Menglei's calligraphy very beautiful.

There is a sense of vigor baptized by the years, like a pine tree standing tall and straight in the cold wind and snow, with an inexplicable appeal.

Poems and vocabulary are always in one booklet, which is full of booklets, which are densely packed. Yunyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Chen Menglei said: "This is what a subordinate official should do."

Yunxu calculated the time and planned to go to the palace to cut off the beard at this moment.

He took Chen Menglei's poems and calligraphy and went to the palace. Kangxi was resting and was fine. He hadn't summoned Gao Shiqi yet, but Gao Shiqi had already entered the palace to express his respect, and was waiting for Kangxi. It's time to summon him.

When Kangxi heard that Yunxi was coming, he asked him to come in, and said with a smile, "Why is the old man here today? Among my sons, you are the only one who ran to my Qianqing Palace with the least number. Why did you come today?" ? What kind of wind brought you here?"

Yunxu smiled, and said: "On weekdays, there are brothers who are filial, and the ministers are afraid of hanging around in front of Huang Ama and annoying Huang Ama, but today is different."

"Oh? What's the difference?" Kangxi said that he seemed in a good mood, but also flustered, so he had a few words with Yunxuan.

Yunyu said: "Today, my son got calligraphy and poems by chance, so he wants to dedicate them to Huang Ama."

Kangxi was an elegant person, and immediately said: "Send it up for a look."

Yunxu unfolded the scroll of calligraphy, and Liang Jiugong over there was very discerning, and immediately stepped forward, and together with Yunxu unfolded the scroll.

"Good!" Kangxi only glanced at it, and then applauded loudly, saying: "Good writing! Penetrating three points, vigorous and powerful!"

Good calligraphy is all about penetrating into wood and penetrating through the back of the paper. This character has already been expressed, so it is impossible to tell whether it is penetrating through the back of the paper, but the momentum is definitely penetrating into the wood, not a soft painting.

It is not only a good word, but also a good poem.

Sure enough, Kangxi also found out that the poems describing the peace of singing and dancing, in simple terms, are singing praises, the people are full, the ministers are harmonious, the emperor is wise, etc. When Kangxi saw it, he was even more pleased, and said casually: "Such a good poem, Such a good word, who wrote it? Why didn’t it sign?”

Because Chen Menglei was afraid that it was the poems that the eighth master would use to make up the number, he deliberately didn't sign the poems, but now Kangxi's interest was aroused instead.

Yunyu said: "Although this person is good at poetry and poetry, I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy when he sees his name, so I dare not sign the money."

"Oh? Who is it?" Kangxi became more and more interested, and said, "Who is it, and why did it offend me?"

Yunyu said: "I dare not lie to Huang Ama. In fact, this person is a member of the Imperial Academy. Mr. Chen Menglei. Because Mr. Chen committed a crime a few days ago, he dared not sign his name for fear of offending the emperor."

"So that's the case." Kangxi nodded.

Kangxi seems to be a gentle person, but in fact, he is like a mirror in his heart, as if he knows everything clearly and is not confused at all.

Kangxi also knew about the matter between Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei back then, and both sides insisted on their opinions. Because there was no conclusive evidence to prove Chen Menglei's innocence, Li Guangdi only came forward to intercede instead of testifying, so Kangxi had no choice but to send Chen Menglei away.

To be honest, Kangxi still felt very sorry. After Chen Menglei returned to the capital again, his whole person changed. I can't see people all the time, other literati like to show off in front of Kangxi, knowing that Kangxi likes people with literary talents, but Chen Menglei never stays in front of Kangxi for a moment.

Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help sighing again: "Chen Menglei is indeed a man of great talent."

Yunyu read the poem to Kangxi again, Kangxi liked it more and more, and the more he listened to it, the more energetic he became, and he was indeed a person who likes literature, so he clapped his hands and said: "Good poems, good poems!"

Yunyu pushed the boat along the water and said: "Huang Ama is so interested today, why didn't you ask Mr. Chen to come over and have a poem?"

"Yes!" Kangxi immediately said to Liang Jiugong, "Go, summon Chen Menglei."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong responded, turned and left Qianqing Palace.

Over there, Gao Shiqi was waiting to be summoned. Seeing that it was almost time, he was in the classroom, surrounded by many flattering servants.

Who doesn't know that this Gao Shiqi is the favorite minister in front of the emperor, if the emperor doesn't see him for a day, it is as if he is sick, who can compare to Gao Shiqi for being favored?

"Master Gao, are you here to meet the emperor again?"

"Master Gao's poetry attainments recently, I'm afraid he has improved a lot!"

"I heard that Mr. Gao's birthday is always a birthday banquet in the palace, and the banquet is hosted by the prince himself. What a face. Looking around, there is no one in the whole court. Mr. Gao Such an honor."

Gao Shiqi laughed heartily, cupped his hands and said, "My lords, it's absurd."

"Master Gao, you can promote us in the future."

"That's right, Mr. Gao, don't forget about us."

"It's easy to say." Gao Shiqi was complacent, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by stars.

At this moment, someone walked into the classroom, and everyone saw that it was Chen Menglei.

Although they are all literati, literati are also divided into three, six, or nine grades. I heard that Chen Menglei just lost the backing of the third master, and he has a "conviction" and was once a sinner. Now he is unknown in the Imperial Academy. Compared with Gao Shiqi, he is One is in the sky and the other is underground.

When the servants saw Chen Menglei walking in, they became less enthusiastic and ignored Chen Menglei, for fear that Chen Menglei's bad luck would infect them.

After a while, he heard the urgent footsteps of "da da da", and the chief eunuch Liang Jiugong walked in.

"Eunuch Liang!"

"It's Eunuch Liang!"

The ministers immediately came forward to flatter him, even though Liang Jiugong is a eunuch, he is also a person who can talk to the emperor, serving on weekdays, if the emperor has any unpleasant or happy things, Liang Jiugong must be the first I don't know, so the big guys naturally have to flatter Liang Jiugong.

"It seems that Eunuch Liang is here to invite Mr. Gao?"

"It must be."

"Isn't the emperor going to summon Mr. Gao to discuss poetry today? It must be, otherwise? Could it be that he is here to invite that unlucky man Chen Menglei?"

While they were talking, Liang Jiugong walked in, came straight to Chen Menglei, and saluted with a smile: "Master Chen, come quickly with your servant, the emperor is waiting impatiently!"

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded. Just now some people said that it was impossible to invite Chen Menglei, but they didn't know that they really came to invite Chen Menglei.

Gao Shiqi took two steps forward, stopped Liang Jiugong, and said, "Eunuch Liang, this... the emperor wants to summon me?"

Liang Jiugong said: "Not yet, otherwise...Master Gao, would you wait a little longer? The emperor is about to summon you, and the servant will come to inform Mr. Gao. Don't worry, Mr. Gao."

"Then please trouble Eunuch Liang." Gao Shiqi couldn't say anything more, so he had to watch Liang Jiugong and Chen Menglei leave together.

Gao Shiqi waited in the classroom for a while, after a while, and seeing that noon had passed, Liang Jiugong came back suddenly.

Gao Shiqi waited from front to back, almost fell asleep in the classroom, when he saw Liang Jiugong coming in, he stood up awkwardly, and said, "Eunuch Liang, but the emperor summoned me?"

Liang Jiugong's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "This servant came to tell Mr. Gao that the emperor will not summon Mr. Gao today. Please go back, Mr. Gao."

"Why?" Gao Shiqi said: "Didn't the emperor tell me to come to the poem yesterday, but he disappeared today? Yes, but the emperor is busy with business?"

Liang Jiugong was embarrassed to tell him that the emperor is very busy today, but Gao Shiqi kept asking, so Liang Jiugong could only tell the truth: "The emperor is not busy, but today I summoned Mr. Please, Mr. Gao, go back, so as not to delay Mr. Gao's work in the Imperial Academy."

"Master Chen?" Gao Shiqi's mind groaned, "Chen Menglei?"

Liang Jiugong nodded: "Yes, it is Mr. Chen."

Gao Shiqi was completely stunned. He said earlier that it was impossible for the emperor to summon Chen Menglei, but Chen Menglei was not only summoned, but also took his place.

Besides him, there were other ministers in the classroom, and when they heard the conversation between Gao Shiqi and Liang Jiugong, they immediately started whispering.

"The emperor actually summoned Chen Menglei, but didn't summon Gao Shiqi?"

"Looks like it's going to change."

"Hey, it's just one time, what if the emperor's picture is fresh?"

Gao Shiqi was completely unwilling, and came to see him on his own initiative the next day, but was stopped by Liang Jiugong in the classroom, Liang Jiugong smiled apologetically, and said: "Lord Gao, I'm really sorry, the emperor is busy at the moment .”

Gao Shiqi thought, the emperor can't summon Chen Menglei again, and said: "It's okay, I can wait for a while."

Liang Jiugong spoke so euphemistically, but Gao Shiqi couldn't understand, so he had no choice but to say: "Let's be honest with Mr. Gao, the emperor is afraid that he will not summon Mr. Gao today. Mr. Chen just came, and the emperor and Mr. Chen are talking about poems. It's in high spirits."

When Gao Shiqi heard it, it was Chen Menglei again? !

The same was true on the third day, for three days in a row, Gao Shiqi did not see the emperor at all, and even the calligraphy he sent fell into the sea, and there was no reply.

Gao Shiqi stood awkwardly in the classroom, several servants were whispering in the corner.

"Master Gao, is this about to fall out of favor?"

"It seems to me that the emperor hasn't summoned Mr. Gao for three days. How could this be possible in the past?"

"I heard that the emperor has been very fond of seeing Chen Menglei recently, and he was recommended by the eighth master."

"Chen Menglei has been silent all this time. Is he about to develop? Let's go to the Imperial Academy to say hello next time."

Gao Shiqi became angrier the more he listened, but what could he do?I had no choice but to shake my sleeves and leave.

This imperial court is such a philistine place. Whenever you are favored, there are many people who come to curry favor with you. Whenever you fall out of favor and you walk on the street, no one is willing to greet you. Turning the pages is fast.

When Gao Shiqi left the classroom, no one wanted to talk to him, so he left resentfully.

Chen Menglei was summoned by the emperor for three days in a row, and every day he went out early in the morning, and only left at night when the palace was banned.

It was the same today. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chen Menglei came out of Qianqing Palace and headed for the palace gate. By coincidence, he saw a sedan chair coming out of the palace.

Chen Menglei only took one look, and knew who was sitting in that sedan chair, because he was very familiar with it, wasn't this the third master's sedan chair?

Chen Menglei didn't make a sound, and took a few steps back to avoid it. Who knew it was such a coincidence that the third master was sitting in the sedan chair, and happened to raise the curtain of the sedan chair to look out, and saw Chen Menglei.

Ever since Chen Menglei left Sanye's mansion, he and Sanye Yinzhi had less conversations, and could barely speak a word.

When Chen Menglei saw the third master now, he just bowed respectfully and indifferently, saying, "I pay my respects to the third master."

Yinzhi raised his hand, motioned to get off the sedan chair, walked out shortly from inside, and said, "So it's Mr. Chen."

"I heard that Mr. Chen is now a celebrity in front of the emperor," Third Master Yinzhi said, "Eighth Master still has a way, following Eighth Master, Mr. Chen's talent can be displayed, isn't it?"

Chen Menglei said calmly: "If the third master said so, it is correct."

The third master Yinzhi was just saying something sour, but Chen Menglei didn't deny it, he was so angry that he was speechless: "You!"

Chen Menglei said calmly again: "Following the eighth master, there is only the word of comfort, the eighth master doesn't earn anything, in the past, the lower officials looked away."

The third master Yinzhi stared at Chen Menglei, then nodded, and said, "You...just live well."

After all, he got on the sedan chair, and the bearer quickly got up and left.

Gao Shiqi suddenly fell out of favor, and the emperor didn't like to see him that much. There is no impenetrable wall in the hall, and soon many people heard about it.

Yunxi's first step plan was considered a success, Gao Shiqi fell out of favor, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate could investigate Gao Shiqi's corruption, if Gao Shiqi was always protected by the emperor, the Metropolitan Procuratorate would not be able to do things well.

Now that the first step is complete, Yunhu is ready to take the second step.

The fourth brother cheap said before, let Yunxi go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has long wanted to investigate Gao Shiqi, but the emperor has been protecting Gao Shiqi, so there is no way to do it.

The fourth master asked Yunxi to go to the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This Zuodu Censor is the official in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the current Zuodu Censor is Guo Xiu, a well-known upright official in history.

Guo Xiu is upright and honest, upright, there is no room for a grain of sand in his eyes, such a person is the most unusual existence in the imperial court.

Because Guo Xiu does not form cliques for private interests, and does not like to make friends, but whenever he appears, he is a participant in other people's three books, so he has few friends. People in the court will detour when they see him, and give him a name, Guo Sanben. It means that he will visit everyone he sees.

Guo Xiu is a person who doesn't know how to flatter, to what extent does he not know how to flatter?Mingzhu's most powerful thing is to get the wind and the rain. When he celebrates his birthday banquet, he wished that the whole court would come to give him gifts, but Guo Xiu couldn't come.

Later, on the day of the birthday banquet, Guo Xiu actually appeared, everyone felt that Guo Xiu was still bowed to the power, who knew that Guo Xiu did not bring a birthday gift, but brought a memorandum, and participated in the performance of Mingzhu to form a party for personal gain, Corruption and corruption.

This incident caused a sensation in the government and the public, and Guo Xiu became an extraordinary person. No one dared to provoke him, and no one dared to get too close to him.

So much so that because of Guo Xiu, no one in the government and the public rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, for fear that they would also be investigated.

As for Yunxuan, today he is going to visit the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As soon as Yunxi went out, he met the fourth master Yinzhen. Yinzhen had a business trip recently, so he didn't go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with Yunxu.

Fourth Master gave a rare smile and said, "Eighth Brother is going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate today? Then I hope that Eighth Brother will get off to a good start, it will be a good omen."

Yunhu was a little strange, I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I didn't go to the imperial examination, so why did I have a good start?

until……

Yunyu was rejected by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and only then did he understand why Fourth Brother Cheap was laughing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Guo is busy with business, so I don't see any guests today."

Yunyu was rejected, he was a majestic eighth prince, and Guo Xiu was just a servant, so he was rejected.

Yun Hu said: "If Mr. Guo is busy, I can wait for a while."

"Baye, then don't wait any longer," the attendant said, "I'll tell you the truth, my Master Guo, we don't see anyone! Master Guo said that whenever you see someone, you must visit this person. The rest will be gone, not accepted, not given away!"

If I don't see you, naturally I won't see any guests. If you don't accept it, it means you don't accept gifts.

In fact, Yun Hu understands a little bit, although Guo Xiu looks rampant, but as the censor of Zuo Du, he needs to act impartially, so he does not make friends or see customers, it is also for the sake of justice.

Yun Si was "driven" out, but it was such a coincidence that the fourth master Yinzhen just finished his business trip, and passing by the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's Yamen, he saw Yun Si wandering out "leisurely" from inside.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you get kicked out?"

Yunyu said: "Look at what you said, fourth brother, I walked out by myself, not because I was kicked out. The people in the Procuratorate are friendly, just a little shy."

Yinzhen:"……"

Yunxi was still within the time limit for her brother's control card, so she smiled at Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, it's rare for my brother to be free, so I can make you some seafood porridge?"

Yinzhen's face was dark at that time, and if he ate these messy things truthfully, the whole capital would probably know that he was "kidney deficient".

Yinzhen said, "No need."

Yunyu sighed and said, "Fourth brother refused so decisively, it really made my brother sad."

Yinzhen:"……"

Yinzhen said: "If the eighth younger brother wants to find Guo Xiu, you might as well try your luck at the door."

Blocking Guo Xiu?Why does Yunxi feel that this is something only crazy fans do?And it's a private fan.

But it seemed that there was no other way, so Yunhu was ready to adopt this stupid method, and said, "Fourth brother still has business, there is a teahouse over there, how about younger brother invite you to drink tea?"

Fourth Master knew that he would be bored waiting alone, so he asked himself to drink tea, but he wanted to refuse, but the cold rejection words reached his throat, but he just said: "Let's go, I'm so thirsty. "

Yinzhen: "..." I was going to refuse because of the sin of goodwill.

When the two arrived at the teahouse, they happened to see the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's Yamen. Whenever Guo Xiu walked out, Yun Xuan would definitely see him.

result……

"I'm sorry, fourth and eighth master, the shop is about to close, you two look..."

The waiter who ran the hall came over and apologized very much.

Yunxu lay on the table, tired of waiting, and fell asleep without hearing the waiter's voice, Yinzhen nodded helplessly, signaling the waiter to go down first.

Yinzhen patted Yunxuan's shoulder lightly, and said, "Eighth brother, wake up and go back."

"Eighth Brother? Wake up, I'm going to suffer from the cold."

"Eighth brother?"

Yunxi slept soundly, looking unshakable.

Yinzhen had no choice but to say, "Guo Xiu has come out."

"Huh?" Yunxi straightened up awkwardly, almost bumping into Yinzhen's nose, but fortunately Yinzhen was well prepared and quickly took a step back.

"Guo Xiu? Where is it? Huh? It's dark?" Yun Xuan woke up with a stare, feeling top-heavy, sleeping on the table with pain in her shoulders, and feeling weak all over.

Yinzhen said: "Guo Xiu didn't come out, the teahouse is going to close."

Yunxi: "..."

Unexpectedly, Yunhu thought that Guo Xiu was a workaholic. He came to stay for three days in a row, and Guo Xiu had never been out of the Yamen, nor had he been back to his mansion.

Now Yunxuan has a headache, what can he do if he can't see Guoxiu?Now that Gao Shiqi has fallen out of favor, it is the right time to impeach Guo Xiu. Could it be possible that Yunxuan should personally impeach Gao Shiqi?It takes a long time to prepare reference books and materials.

Yun Si was worrying about the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate when she heard someone calling herself: "Baye?"

Yunxu looked back and saw that he was an acquaintance, wasn't he Li Zhongqiao, the honest son of Li Guangdi?

Li Zhongqiao had obviously just finished work, and he hadn't changed out of his official robes yet, seeing Yunxuan, he came in to say hello, and said, "See you, Baye."

Yunxu said, "It's Mr. Li."

Li Zhongqiao said: "Why is Ba Ye so elegant, drinking tea here? The tea in this shop is really delicious."

Yunxu rubbed his forehead, he didn't come to drink tea, but to wait for someone.

When Li Zhongqiao heard this, he suddenly realized, and said, "Yuan Ba ​​Ye wants to see Mr. Zuo Du Censor."

Listening to his tone, Yunxu said, "Do you have a way to meet Zuodu Censor?"

"No." Li Zhongqiao said bluntly.

Yunxi: "..."

Li Zhongqiao gasped suddenly, and said: "But I know that there is a person who can see Mr. Zuodu Censor."

"Who?"

Li Zhongqiao said: "If the eighth master is free, the lower officials can recommend it for you."

"Of course I'm free." If Yunxuan was not free, she would not drink tea here. In order to adjust the family conflict between the uncle and the prince, Yunxuan would do everything possible.

Li Zhongqiao said: "Then eighth master, please."

Yunxi followed Li Zhongqiao down the teahouse, but unexpectedly reached the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Yunyu was "driven" out from here before, and now he came again. The yamen servant was really embarrassed and said: "Baye, you Why did you come back again? It’s really not a slave who doesn’t pass it on, it’s Mr. Guo…”

Speaking of this, Li Zhongqiao interrupted: "I'm sorry, big brother of the yamen servant, we are indeed here to find Mr. Guo, but not Mr. Guo, the censor of the Zuodu. Please pass it on, we are looking for Mr. Guo, the supervisor. .”

Yunyu raised her eyebrows, Master Guo, who was in charge of the supervisor?

Yunhu knew about the Supervisory Office, which was affiliated to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It was a small branch in the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Besides the Supervisory Office, there were many other departments in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, such as the Metropolitan Office , the monthly office, and the experience hall, etc.

When the yamen servant heard this, he suddenly realized, and said: "Are you looking for Guo Bitie? That's cheap, just go in after registration."

Yunxu looked at Li Zhongqiao strangely, Li Zhongqiao was familiar with the registration, and then led Yunxu to enter and go to the supervisor's office.

This post, in fact, is a post in the form of a post, working in the supervisory office, in fact, it is a clerical staff, transcribing documents, or translating text, most of which are translations of Manchu and Chinese.There are a lot of people like this in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They are nothing new, and their rank is not high.

Yunxuan and Li Zhongqiao entered the supervision and reminder office. As the name of the supervision and reminder office suggests, everyone is very busy, with people coming and going, wishing for double shadows. There is only one person who is very leisurely, sitting in front of the desk and copying documents.

The man looked very young, probably in his twenties, with a stack of fried beans in his hand, copying documents while throwing fried beans into his mouth.

Li Zhongqiao walked over and said, "Brother Guo."

The man raised his head, his face was ordinary, but he had a pair of fox eyes for no reason, which made him look as if he had a kind of seductive power. Her smiling lips, even when she wasn't smiling, had a feeling of a smile that wasn't a smile.

The man said: "Isn't this the younger brother of the Li family? Why is the Imperial Academy so busy today that you came to visit me?"

Yunhu could tell that the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Li Zhongqiao recommended: "Baye, this is the Guo Bitie I am looking for. He is the younger brother of Mr. Guo, the censor of Zuodu, and his name is Guo Ying."

Yunxuan understood now, it turned out that Guo Ying was Guo Xiu's younger brother.

Guo Ying got up to meet Yunxuan. He already had a pair of fox eyes and looked very shrewd. Now his eyes move slightly, which gives people a feeling of being good at calculating. He is in sharp contrast to an honest person like Li Zhongqiao. contrast.

Guo Ying smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the eighth master's trip is because the drunkard's intention is not to drink?"

Yunxuan said: "Brother Guo, it's true."

Li Zhongqiao said: "I also ask Brother Guo to help introduce him. Eighth Lord has something important to do with Mr. Guo, the Censor of Zuodu."

Guo Ying raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"Important matter..." When Li Zhongqiao heard this, he suddenly realized, yes, what is the important matter?Turning to Yunxuan, he said, "Baye, what do you need from Mr. Guo?"

Guo Ying suddenly laughed, and said, "Little brother, you don't know why Ba Ye wants my elder brother, so you just help Ba Ye introduce him?"

Li Zhongqiao said very sincerely: "What Ba Ye does, there must be a reason for Ba Ye."

Yunxuan was so moved that Li Zhongqiao was honestly ashamed of himself.

Guo Ying said: "Forget it, I won't ask, after all, I'm just a small post, and I don't want to care about these miscellaneous things."

Yun Hu said: "I don't know if Brother Guo has a way to let me meet Mr. Guo?"

Guo Ying nodded and said, "Of course there is a method, and no one knows about it except me."

Li Zhongqiao urged: "Brother Guo, please tell me quickly, don't be a fool."

Guo Ying said: "It's actually very simple. My elder brother lives in the yamen all the year round, and he doesn't go out for ten days and half a month. Once he goes out, he goes to the palace to impeach someone. So it's not easy for Ba Ye to wait for my elder brother. But it's a coincidence, in fact, on the eighth day of every month, my elder brother will go to a place."

Yunxu asked, "Where?"

"Go and eat." Guo Ying said.

"Eat?" Li Zhongqiao opened his eyes wide in wonder.

Indeed, although Guo Ying is the iron-faced censor Guo Sanben, he has one of his biggest hobbies, which is delicious food. The eighth day of every month is Guo Xiu's rest and bath day. He relaxes like this once a month, and then he will leave the yamen to eat .

Guo Ying said: "Brother likes a small stall, and will go there to eat every month. If Ba Ye wants to see Eldest Brother, tomorrow will be the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, why not ask Ba Ye to meet Eldest Brother at the small stall, wouldn't it be a success?"

It was so.

Yunxu squinted his eyes, he kept his eyes open, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Brother Guo, what is Mr. Guo's favorite food?"

Guo Ying said: "To be honest, my eldest brother and I are from Jimo. Although the capital is nice, it can't beat the homesickness. Naturally, I like the food in Jimo the most. The small stall is also opened by fellow villagers who come to Beijing to make a living."

Jimo?Isn't that Qingdao?

Yun Si raised her lips and smiled, and said, "Brother Guo, I need to trouble you to do me a favor."

……

The eighth day.

The yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate opened early, and an old man with gray hair came out and left the yamen.

This person is Guo Xiu, the censor of Zuodu who was given the nickname Guo Sanben.

Guo Xiu left the yamen, strolled casually, and went to the small stall that he usually goes to.

The small shop is very inconspicuous, and it is still in the alley. This alley is full of ordinary people, and there are no high-ranking officials. The location is not good, so the business of the small stall is naturally not good.

Guo Xiu walked in, sat down familiar with the way, fixed his eyes, and said, "Third brother, are you here today?"

Isn't the third younger brother that Guo Xiu is talking about Guo Ying?Guo Ying is the third eldest, and there is an older brother, Guo Xiu's second brother, named Guo Hu.

Guo Ying said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet my eldest brother here, does my eldest brother mind if we share a table together?"

How could Guo Xiu care?The two sat at the same table, Guo Xiu just wanted to order, Guo Ying stopped him and said, "Brother, there is no need to order today."

"Oh?" Guo Xiu was surprised.

Guo Ying said: "Today, the store has temporarily changed the rules. No need to order food. You can eat whatever is served. If the food is not good, just return it."

"Is there such a way to eat?" Guo Ying raised her interest, which shows that the shop owner is very confident in her craftsmanship.

After all, it is difficult to adjust the taste, some people like to eat strong, some like to eat light, even Jimo locals like to eat sweet, like to eat salty, and the store is so confident.

"It smells so good!"

Before Guo Xiu could think about anything, a domineering aroma came over his face, with the delicious taste of fish. Speaking of Qingdao, how could there be no aquatic products?Fish is a must.

The waiter brought the same delicious dish to the table - grilled fish!

There was a hot pot with a fire under it, and the grilled fish was sizzling in the pot.The whole grilled fish has a burnt skin, which is purely roasted, not fried in a pan to save trouble, and the roasted aroma is very strong.

A few small red peppers and a bunch of sesame peppers are dotted on the grilled fish. Next to it are fried golden soybeans. On the four corners of the grill, there are bean curds that have soaked up the grilled fish soup.

Guo Xiu was immediately shocked by the domineering grilled fish, lifted the chopsticks, and couldn't wait to pick up a golden soybean and put it in his mouth.

Kaba is crispy, crispy but not hard, and not at all teething. The mellow aroma of fried soybeans, a scent of beans quickly melts between the lips and tongue, not only that, because the soybeans are dipped in the salty and slightly spicy soup, The salty taste expands the sweetness of the soybean itself, which is slightly sweetened. This small soybean has a thousand flavors.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Guo Xiu exclaimed loudly, and immediately picked up a piece of fish meat, the fish skin was grilled with a burnt aroma, with tenacity, the fish meat was tender, and when picked up, the baishengsheng fish meat was covered with salty sauce, It seems to be a fairy in the sky, contaminated with the breath of fireworks in the world, which makes people appetite.

Guo Xiu put the fish in his mouth, fresh is just a word!

Beijing does not have any rich aquatic products. Since Guo Xiu came to Beijing, he has never eaten serious aquatic products. He always feels that the aquatic products in Beijing are not fresh, there is a lot of sand, etc., but now he eats this grilled fish, which is so fresh that his tongue is so fresh It's gone, it's really an authentic aquatic taste.

Seeing that he liked it, Guo Ying said, "Brother, you can eat leisurely, there are still more."

While talking, the second dish was also served, which turned out to be the staple food, pot stickers.

The pot stickers look ordinary, because there are pot stickers in Beijing, Guo Xiu didn't expect too much, picked up a pot sticker, and took a bite, who knows...

"Yeah!" Guo Xiu was speechless, his mouth was full of delicious smell, this pot sticker is different from the one in Beijing, the inside is actually fish, this is fish stuffed pot stickers, authentic taste!

The fish meat is tender and smooth, I don’t know what auxiliary ingredients were added, and it still springs to the teeth. In short, the taste is not soft at all, the inside is tender, and the outer shell of the pot stickers is full of burnt aroma.

Guo Xiu dipped a potsticker in vinegar and rolled another potsticker into the sauce of grilled fish. The salty, slightly spicy soup tasted fresh, hot and spicy. It tasted just right in winter. Just right, very warm.

Grilled fish and fish pot stickers are Guo Xiu's favorites, and the third dish is up again.

This third course is not a dish, but a bowl of soup.It is packed in a large basin, the quantity is extremely large, and it is placed on the table.

Guo Xiu fixed his eyes and said in surprise, "pimple soup?"

Speaking of Jimo and Qingdao, how can there be no pimple soup?Pimple soup is a treasure!

Especially the seafood pimple soup.

The gnocchi floated on the soup, and there were a lot of eggs, fresh shrimp, squid, sea cucumber, and shellfish, all boiled into the thick soup, and scooped with a spoon, the ingredients were extremely rich.

Guo Xiu prefers pimple soup with bigger pimples, and this bowl of pimple soup is just like this. He scooped up a large spoonful, filled a bowl full, and couldn't wait to taste it, because it was just out of the oven, and his mouth was almost scalded. The child has been drilled down the throat into the stomach.

The tender and smooth bumps are so slippery that you can scoop up aquatic products with every spoonful, which is fresh and warm.

Although there are only three dishes, but the main dish of grilled fish, the staple food of fish pot stickers, and pimple soup, half of the grilled fish is eaten, and some vegetables and meat are served, which can be directly dipped in the grilled fish soup , full of fresh fragrance, it is simply a great satisfaction.

Guo Xiu ate with relish, and he ate everything cleanly. He couldn't hold on anymore, but he didn't want to waste a little bit.

After Guo Xiu had finished eating, he remembered it and said in surprise, "This small stall has changed owners? Why is the taste even better than before?"

Guo Ying smiled and said, "It's not that the owner has changed, it's just that the original owner has something to do today, so he went out temporarily and hired a cook to replace him, so the way of eating has changed today."

"A temporary cook?" Guo Xiu was very curious, and said, "The temporary cooks are all so good? This taste is like returning to our hometown of Guojiazhuang. I have been in Beijing for so many years, and I have never tasted it like this. Authentic hometown taste!"

Guo Xiu said again: "I don't know who this cook is, he is so amazing, I must meet him today."

"Oh?" Guo Ying smiled, the fox looked at Shen Fei, and said, "Brother, are you sure you want to meet this cook?"

"Naturally!" Guo Xiu said: "The person who can make such delicious food must be a wonderful person. This friend, I have made a promise."

Guo Ying nodded and said, "Alright, then my brother will invite someone here."

Guo Ying stood up, went into the back kitchen, and quickly came out again, saying:
