Tang's dining table

When Naha saw that Yunchu was indifferent, she was very angry and insisted on going to Cui's carriage to cry.

Yunchu put her on Cui's carriage. He couldn't understand why this child was so crazy today.

Looking back at the bullock cart, I found that it had stopped and was unwilling to continue walking with the Yun family's motorcade.

Cui's carriage also stopped immediately. Cui took Naha out of the carriage and said to Yun Chu: "Master, wait a moment, I will take Naha to apologize to others."

So, a group of women from the Yun family all stuck their heads out of the carriage and looked back.

Naha, who was led by Mrs. Cui, was very polite, whether she was saluting or speaking, she was very presentable, but it was hard to tell when she was with Yun Chu.

As for Ms. Cui, she was definitely a socially awkward person. I didn’t know what she said, so she got into someone’s bullock cart and didn’t come out for a long time.

Just when Yun Chu was impatient, Mrs. Cui came out of the bullock cart with a laughing Naha.

Before getting on the carriage, Ms. Cui gave Yun Chu a meaningful look, got into the carriage, and the team was able to continue moving forward.

The spring light was bright on Longshou Plain, and tents were set up everywhere. Some places were even surrounded by black linen curtains. You could hear the crisp laughter of young women inside, as well as the hydrangeas flying into the sky from time to time.

The Yun family came out to have a barbecue today.

Therefore, when he found that there was no one around a creek, Yun Chu ordered horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts to surround the area. He also tied a lot of hammocks to the trees and warned all the children not to leave the place for fifty steps. Each of them was given a paper kite and started busy with the barbecue, which no one else could do.

When we arrived, there was a huge barbecue stove on the top of the carriage. We took it down to light the charcoal, and the servants opened a large folding table and began to busy putting various foods on bamboo sticks.

Of course, the only vegetables that can be eaten at this time are wild vegetables, and wild vegetables are not delicious when grilled, so the main food is various kinds of meat, mutton, bacon, the remaining wild boar meat at home, chicken, and seven or eight fish.

It's strange. Normally Naha would run away and disappear as soon as she got the paper kite, but today she followed Yunchu very obediently to watch him prepare barbecue.

As for Mrs. Cui, she had already started chatting with a group of unknown women. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she could only hear their occasional laughter, which was very hearty.

"Why did you say the woman in the cart was your sister-in-law?" Yun Chu asked Naha casually as he pulled out the bones from the chicken leg.

Naha's big eyes began to roll up until almost the whites of her eyes were left, and then she hummed, "I don't know, I just know that my sister-in-law should be like that."

When the charcoal fire started to get hot, Yun Chu brushed oil on the iron mesh that took a lot of effort from the blacksmith, and then placed the ingredients on it one by one. The place immediately became smoky.

These meats are marinated in advance at home, and a lot of dogwood water is even added, which adds a new flavor to the food. However, the taste of dogwood does not mix well with the pepper, so it is not as spicy as Yunchu remembered. fragrance.

The chicken breasts that have been fried on bamboo skewers and then brushed with sauce and grilled are always Naha's. The first skewer of chicken breasts today is naturally hers.

Although her taste was almost dripping, Naha was not in a hurry to eat. She held the skewer of chicken breasts high and ran towards a small green cloth curtain, shouting "Sister, sister, I'll bring it for you" It’s time to eat.”

As he spoke, he dove into the green cloth curtain.

Yun Chu stretched his neck and saw Grandma Sun standing by the green cloth curtain. He shook his head with a wry smile and continued to serve the food on the grill. As long as he cooked all the food here, he would give it to San Fei. deal with.

Mrs. Cui, who came back from who knows where, took a bite of the chicken breast that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside and praised: "The thoughts of Mr. Lang are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Eating is the most important thing in life and should not be taken lightly."

Mrs. Cui said: "The most important thing in life is to honor our ancestors and spread their branches. We should not take it lightly."

Yunchu laughed and said, "Why, you also think that woman is very suitable to be my wife?"

Mrs. Cui looked around and whispered: "If it was just that she was beautiful, I wouldn't think so. It wasn't until I asked about the little lady's family background just now that I discovered that the little lady Naha was a very sharp-eyed woman. .”

Yun Chu pointed to the ewe with two lambs gnawing grass not far away and said: "Humans are not beasts. When the time comes, they need to be bred."

Ms. Cui looked at Yun Chu up and down and said, "What kind of look did the gentleman look at when he sent Madam Gongsun away from our house that day? I can really see what I saw."

"Do you think that woman is as tall as Gongsun?"

"That's not possible. A woman as tall as Gongsun is not suitable for entering the inner chamber. A man who is greedy for pleasure may like it, which is to serve as an outer chamber."

"What is the family background of the woman you are talking about?"

"My ancestors were noble, but their family fortunes were in decline. Both parents died. There are noble relatives in the capital but they don't want to cling to them. They would rather live by the few acres of thin farmland left by their ancestors, a few loyal servants, and a bookshop."

"I remember you said that when I look for a wife, I should find someone from a wealthy family, someone who can provide me with a lot of conveniences."

"That was in the past. My husband had the appearance of Pan An, the talent of Fan Li, and the strategy of governing the country. He also knew how to advance and retreat. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He could hold his temper and be lonely. It was only a matter of time before he soared into the sky. matter.

In this case, why does my husband want to marry those families who have entangled relationships?

What if we meet someone from the Yi Tribe or the Nine Tribes? Wouldn’t we be implicated in vain?

It would be too unworthy to risk Lang Jun's life for a useless relationship.

Therefore, I think that the current young lady of the Yu family is a perfect match for my husband, regardless of her family background or talent. The best thing is that this woman is also exactly fourteen years old this year, which is the same as him.

I've done the math. If we make a contract this year, we'll be hired next year, and we'll get married the year after that, it's just right. By then, the husband should have passed the Jinshi exam, right? "

Yun Chu stared at Cui with wide eyes and said, "You haven't even made arrangements for how many children we will have, right?

I haven’t seen that Yu family yet. "

Mrs. Cui chuckled and said, "When I married Mr. Cui, I only saw my husband for the first time on the wedding night. So, is there any problem if I haven't met him before?"

"I think it's better to meet and talk with her before deciding whether to marry her or not."

"If Mrs. Yu has seen you in private and talked to you, it would be called a private grant. If Hong Funu did this, she could only be a concubine for the rest of her life. Even Li Jing was criticized by the court for this matter. His character was pitiful. In his later years, when he saw a guest, he would open the door to show that he didn't talk about anything shameful.

Lang Jun cannot do this if he wants to continue to be an official. "

"Huh? That's not right. Xu Jingzong and his son have a grudge against his wife, and I haven't seen what the court did to him."

"So, he is now a third-rank official, a Caixun county man, and has not yet sealed a household. He will not be able to become noble in his life. No matter how much knowledge he has, it will not help. He will not even be able to get a good posthumous title after his death. arrive."

Yun Chu looked at Ms. Cui and said, "Are you so sure that someone will agree to marry me?"

Ms. Cui said with a smile: "Getting married requires a lot from the husband, but I don't know that it requires even more from the woman. Her parents are both dead, and there are no elders in the family who can support her marriage. She wants to get married, especially if she wants to marry someone. It is not that difficult to find a good family.

Why do you think she would come to Longshouyuan alone in spring with two servants, an old man and a young child, just to find a match for herself?

I want a woman with such a discerning eye like me to take notice of her, and then introduce her to the younger generation of the family who is of the right age. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's very pitiful. "

Yun Chu was not disgusted with the blind date because he had been on a blind date before. However, during the blind date, he isolated himself with a curtain so that no one could see him. What kind of blind date was this?

While Yun Chu was chatting with Mr. Cui, Naha emerged from the curtain, and with her came the little maid who was being ridden by Naha.

Cui Shi smiled and said, "It must be Naha who praised your husband so much that she sent people to see him."

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said: "What should I do? Horse riding, martial arts training, reciting articles, or am I rich? I'm really not familiar with dating in the Tang Dynasty."

"Eh? Lang Jun is willing now?"

"No, I'm just curious and want to know about the blind date process in Datang, so as to gain some experience for future blind dates."

"Lang Jun thinks too much. It is difficult for ordinary people to meet young talents like you. If you can't even like a talent like Lang Jun, I will go over and ask why you are so humiliated."

Compared with the Cui family who angrily regarded Yun Chu as a piece of cake, Yun Chu himself did not have such strong self-confidence.

So, when the little maid looked up at him, Yun Chu gave her a large handful of roasted meat, rolled it up with lotus leaves until it looked like a flower, and gave it to the little maid, claiming that Let her take it back and give it to their little lady to taste.

The little maid's eyes were full of fear, but she couldn't help but take the meat skewers given by Yun Chu, took the meat skewers and turned around and ran away.

At this time, Naha and a group of children had already eaten so much that they forgot about the little lady Yu.

"You just said that this little lady of the Yu family has a noble relative. There shouldn't be many people in Chang'an that you can describe as a noble relative. Do you think this noble relative is Yu Shinan?

However, Yu Shinan passed away during the Zhenguan period. I heard that this man was an upright man. His descendants wouldn't be able to tolerate an orphan, right? "

Cui sighed and said: "If Yu Shinan is still alive, I will definitely try my best to help my husband marry this young lady from Yu Shiji's lineage.

Speaking of which, this is a truly clean home. "
