Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li said, "Oh, good, good, you gentlemen are so thoughtful. Ji Xiaolan and I have been sleeping in the open air all the way and really want to have a good meal. Hahaha, thank you so much, gentlemen." He bowed.

Mo Li continued, "Oh, these are all famous dishes from Jiangnan. They are indeed delicate and rich." He and Ji Xiaolan picked up their chopsticks, moved the dishes on the table, picked up a piece and started eating.

The three officials looked at the two men and talked in low voices.

Mo Li suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, my lords, why don't you come and eat together?"

The Governor-General came back to his senses and said, "Master Mo, Master Ji, are you here with He Zhongtang?"

Mo Li said: "Yes, that's right."

The Governor General said, "What about He Zhongtang?"

Mo Li said, "Well, He Zhongtang is an upright official. Haha, he doesn't want to ruin his image as an upright official, so he's out there, visiting the people and listening to their sentiments. Hahaha."

Ji Xiaolan said, "I think we don't need to wait for him."

Mo Li put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and felt something strange. He took another sip, smacked his lips, and asked, "Hey, what kind of wine is this? Hey, is there such a delicious wine in Jiangnan?"

Zuo Shankui said, "Brother Mo Li, this is called plum blossom wine. It is very popular in the south now." The governor handed him the wine jug.

Zuo Shankui took it and poured it for Mo Li. Mo Li said, "Yes, yes, give me a full glass. Although I don't like wine, this wine is really interesting to drink."

Ji Xiaolan raised his glass and said, "Fill mine too."

"Okay, Brother Ji Yun." Zuo Shankui said, and poured some for Ji Xiaolan.

Zhao Wenlong said, "Then Sir Mo, let's call the person who cooks the wine. Give Sir Mo the recipe."

Zhao Wenlong shouted outside, "Come on, call the wine cook."

……

Zhao Qing was cooking wine when a servant came in and said, "Hey, Miss, they've called you upstairs."

"I'm the wine cook. I don't want to serve these masters." Zhao Qing looked reluctant.

The servant said angrily, "Why are you acting like a spoiled young lady? Come on, come with me. Come on, come with me quickly." He dragged Zhao Qing to meet Mo Li and others.

……

The Governor and Zuo Shankui both sat down.

Zhao Wenlong also stood in front of the table, poured wine for Mo Li, and said, "Mr. Mo, please." He made a gesture of invitation.

Mo Li immediately said, "Thank you very much."

At this time, Zhao Qing walked in cursing.

"Don't pull me, let me go, let me go."

Mo Li stared at her.

Zhao Wenlong said, "My lady, your wine is very much loved by the great scholar Mo Daxueshi. The great scholar Mo Daxueshi is a famous scholar today. Come, come, tell the recipe to the great scholar Mo Daxueshi."

Mo Li raised his right hand and said, "Oh... forget it, forget it. I just remembered that the recipe is a means of livelihood for others. Tell me, if I say something out of turn after drinking, wouldn't that cut off their source of income?"

Hahahaha...

All the officials laughed loudly.

Zhao Qing said softly, "Excuse me, is Mr. Mo Li Mo?"

Zuo Shankui was stunned when he heard this and said, "Hey, how do you know him?"

Zhao Qing said, "I can't say I know it, but I do remember a few lines of Lord Mo's poem."

Mo Li thought it was a great idea and laughed out loud.

He said, "Read a few sentences to me."

Zhao Qing read it out.

"In the morning, I pick flowers and drink wine in the evening. Lonely people are after the wind and rain. Do you have an intoxicating smile? Wild geese fly by with chrysanthemums in their hair."

All the officials applauded and cheered.

Zhao Wenlong said, "As soon as Lord Mo got off the carriage, he won the heart of a beautiful woman. What a good omen."
