spring and autumn officials
chapter 34
Zheng Ji had already seen Qi Lu, and immediately said: "Teacher Qi, please stay."
Qi Lu's neck is numb, and there is a proposition, "ex-girlfriend" tells you to stop, do you want to stop?
Zheng Ji had already come over and said softly, "Teacher Qi."
Qi Luqian turned around with a smile, as if he had just seen Zheng Ji, and said a little exaggeratedly: "It was Zheng Ji, what a coincidence!"
"Unfortunately." Unexpectedly, Zheng Ji said this: "Ji knows that Taifu will go to the dining room every day, so he has been waiting here for a long time."
Qi Lu: "..." The ex-girlfriend, who is also the emperor's rumored girlfriend, has been waiting for me for a long time?
Qi Lu's scalp was numb. When he was angry with Shi Hou, he would show his face. When he teased Xiao Yang, he could make Xiao Yang blush. It may also be because Zheng Ji is a big girl, and Qi Lu is not good at being a rascal, so all her kung fu is useless.
"This..." Qi Lu said hesitantly, "I don't know if Zheng Ji has something to ask Lu to do it?"
Zheng Ji's expression suddenly twitched, Qi Lu's heart skipped a beat when she saw this expression, and she blushed slightly, it was hard to say, could it be...
Zheng Ji's "resurrection of old love" to herself?
Because of Qi Lu and Zheng Ji's "secret meeting" a few days ago, the emperor Ji Lin was very angry. Qi Lu didn't know the reason, but felt that the emperor had a different feeling for Zheng Ji, which is why he was so angry.
Qi Lv was born as a petty official, and although he is the grand tutor now, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, not to mention he really doesn't have feelings for Zheng Ji, and he won't compete with the emperor. Suddenly, my heart beat violently.
Zheng Ji hesitated, and said, "Actually...Actually, Ji has an unfeeling request."
Seeing what she said, Qi Lu felt that Zheng Ji "has no more love" for him, but after thinking about it, no, his own charm should not be so great. Compared with the emperor, Qi Lu is just too much. Fu, while Ji Lin is the emperor; Qi Lu is thin, and Ji Lin has eight-pack abs; although Qi Lu thinks he looks good, upright and good-looking, but the appearance of the emperor is comparable to that of the most beautiful grandson in his age.Because of these, Qi Lu still has some self-knowledge.
Then I heard Zheng Ji say: "Actually... Actually... In fact, Ji has loved the way of cooking since she was a child, but she was born in a family of officials and officials, and her brother was strict in discipline, so... So Ji was strictly forbidden to enter the dining room, lest she would give sacrifices to her." The family has lost a bit of face..."
When Qi Lu heard this, he was a little confused. It really wasn't because he was too charming.Didn't expect Zheng Ji to like cooking?Although there are many men and women who like to cook in modern times, in the Spring and Autumn Period, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, cooking must be a lowly slave with no family background. A daughter like Zheng Ji, a daughter of a country's prime minister, must be We have to live the days when we need clothes to stretch out our hands to eat and mouths to open.
Zheng Ji frowned, and said with some melancholy: "Ji sees Mrs. Qi serving the meals, and she is very envious, so she also wants... also wants to go to the dining room to take care of it, but there are many inconveniences in this dining room."
Qi Lv understood it. Zheng Ji liked to cook, but Ji Zhong didn't let her do it. After she came to Master Luo and stayed away from the strict discipline of Ji's family, Zheng Ji wanted to cook, but the dining room The house is full of cooks, and men and women are different. Although these days there is no tradition for women to go out of the door and stay out of the second door, Zheng Ji is not a way to mix in the crowd.
Coincidentally, Qi Lu had a separate small dining room. Because the emperor knew that Qi Lu liked to cook meals, he ordered to open a separate small dining room for him. It was next to the big dining room. Not that many people.
Zheng Ji stopped him today because she must have wanted to meet the world with Qi Lu.
When Qi Lu heard this, it was easy to handle. After he came to Spring and Autumn, he had never met anyone who was interested in cooking food. The emperor did not have much prejudice against cooking food, but... the emperor has no talent.
And what about the lamb shoulder?On weekdays, he was the one with the most nimble hands and feet, but when he entered the dining room, he was instantly stunned, with his hands clasped, as if he didn't know what to do.Needless to say, Shi Hou is the young patriarch of the Shi family. He always stretches out his clothes and opens his mouth to let him cut a piece of meat. Thanks to his good knife skills, Shi Hou can cut meat into strands of hair , it tastes no flesh at all, just like cotton wool!
Qi Lu was completely surprised when he heard that Zheng Ji liked cooking.
Zheng Ji was very embarrassed. Seeing that Qi Lu didn't speak, she thought he was going to reject her, and said quickly: "Ji is not here to make trouble, and she will never make trouble for the Taifu."
Qi Lu waved his hand and said: "Zheng Ji, you are being serious. Lu didn't mean that, but it was just a little accidental. I didn't expect Zheng Ji to have a special liking for Li Shan?"
Zheng Ji smiled shyly, and was even more embarrassed, and said: "When Ji was young, relying on greed and stubbornness, she sneaked into the dining room several times. It was very novel to see the cooks cooking, and she fell in love with her." After learning about Lishan, and now seeing Taifu Lishan's superb performance, An can't help but yearn for it in her heart."
It's not easy for Qi Lu to refuse Zheng Ji, after all, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, no matter Zheng Ji gets married in the future or returns to Zheng State, she will definitely not be able to eat.
Qi Lu simply said: "Okay, Zheng Ji, please follow Lu."
Hearing his promise, Zheng Ji was as happy as something, and immediately followed Qi Lu forward, and the two of them entered the small dining room.
Sure enough, there was no one inside, the utensils were neatly stacked, and the ingredients were the freshest. As soon as Zheng Ji walked in, her eyes lit up instantly. Qi Lu could tell that it was not a lie that Zheng Ji liked cooking, it was inevitable It comes from the heart.
Zheng Ji said excitedly: "It's really great, what... can Ji do?"
Qi Lu smiled and said, "What Zheng Ji wants to do, she can do."
When Zheng Ji heard it, she said happily, "Seriously? Then... Ji wants to make the spicy slices I ate a few days ago!"
Qi Lu didn't realize that Zheng Ji is still a "hot" woman, and she actually likes to eat spicy slices, a food that "ordinary people" like. Logically speaking, a rich lady like him should not eat this kind of snacks. of.
Qi Lu brought over the recipes, which he had sorted out these days.Of course, Qi Lu's level of "ancient Chinese" is still not very good. Although there are some studies, they are all secretly learned, lest others know that the Taifu is illiterate, so Qi Lu dictates and records the recipes.
Qi Lu handed the recipe to Zheng Ji, which said the recipe of spicy slices, Zheng Ji felt like a treasure, it felt like a grassroots protagonist in a martial arts novel who got the secrets of martial arts.
Zheng Ji hurriedly said that Qi Lu wanted to keep a polite distance from Zheng Ji, so it was difficult to get too close to Zheng Ji, and he couldn't guide Zheng Ji, which was a bit troublesome to say.
It just so happened that there was a sound of footsteps at this time, and a thin figure came in from outside the small dining room. It turned out to be a woman, wearing palace clothes, dragging a large box with fresh ingredients in it.
It was originally a court lady who added ingredients to the dining room.
The palace maid came in and hurriedly saluted and said: "My servant has seen Taifu Qi and Concubine Zheng."
Qi Lv nodded, and the maid put away the ingredients by category, her movements were very agile, she looked like a veteran.
Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you from the dining room?"
The palace maid nodded, and said very dutifully: "Back to Taifu, the servant girl was originally a maid in the dining room, but because the small dining room was short of manpower, she was sent here to deliver fresh ingredients."
Female wine is actually a prostitute in the palace.There are prisoners of war in every country. After the prisoners are captured, they have to feed and give them a place to live. It is not cost-effective, so there is a profession of female wine. pleasure.
The maid's appearance is not very outstanding, and she can tell at a glance that she is not the kind of "tall" female wine, the nobles don't like it, so she is assigned to be a "rough envoy maid", and Qi Lu happens to see it.
Qi Lu said, "Do you know how to cook?"
The maid hurriedly nodded and said, "My maid knows a little bit."
Qi Lu smiled and said, "That's just right, you stay here and fight by Zheng Ji's side, okay?"
When the maid heard this, she immediately said, "Yes."
Although Zheng Ji likes to cook and has some talents, she hasn't been in the kitchen for many years, so she is naturally very unfamiliar, let alone knife skills, it would be better to have the help of a maid.
The maid is good at knives, she looks like a veteran of cooking, she also knows some words, can understand the recipes, she has a nose and eyes when making big spicy slices for the first time, Zheng Ji and the maid quickly became friends.The maid's name was Yan Si, which means the state of Yan, and Si is the surname of the state of Yan, so she was called Yan Si.
The Kingdom of Mao is a small country among more than 100 countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is located in the east, below the three major eastern countries of Qi, Lu and Ju. It can be said that it is difficult to survive in the cracks.
Although Yan Si is not beautiful, but she has quick hands and feet, is particularly agile in her work, and does not talk much, which is very attractive. Qi Lv thought about it carefully, and he did not know what kind of character Yan Si was. Although there are many famous women in this era But Xuan Jiang, Wen Jiang, Ai Jiang, Mrs. Taohua, etc., are still all small bean buns, and some are not born yet. It seems that there is no such person.
Qi Lu saw that Zheng Ji and Mao Si got along very well, and he could save himself from being a teacher, so he started to cook by himself.
He came to the dining room today for a purpose, not just to prepare delicious food.The feudal lords have been chasing after Qi Lu these days, asking Qi Lu about matters directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, but Qi Lu is very tired.Furthermore, Qi Lu also knew that although Ji Lin wanted to rectify this era of impoliteness, but now Ji Lin's power is weak, and he has just ascended the throne, if he takes such a drastic move, he will definitely hurt himself.
In short, not yet.
Ji Lin is less than 20 years old now, and he still needs to gather momentum before he can put pressure on the princes of various countries, otherwise he is eager for quick success and quick benefits, lest he hurt himself.
The princes advised the emperor not to direct the government because of their own interests, while Qi Lv advised the emperor not to directly govern because of good intentions. Although they all advised the emperor not to directly govern, the motives are completely different.These days the Son of Heaven is already tired of the princes, if Qi Lv goes to persuade him again, I'm afraid it will backfire.
Although today's emperor trusts Qi Lu very much, Qi Lu also understands that as an emperor, who doesn't have a little temper?If the method of persuasion is not appropriate, it will only increase the trouble. Qi Lu is the person who is most afraid of trouble, and there is no reason to hold his head up to be a minister of deadly advice. Firstly, Qi Lu does not have the courage, and secondly, there is no need.
So Qi Lv took the matter of persuasion to his own business, using food to persuade, concise, and euphemistic, but not boring, just suitable for "Baby of the Son of Heaven".
Qi Lv's eyes lit up when he saw the basket of fresh ingredients that Mao Si had brought in, chicken, chicken is good, especially the drumsticks.
The chicken thigh meat is chewy and has only one big bone, making it easy to eat.Chicken also has a disadvantage, that is, it is too easy to get old, and when it is old, it will lose its texture. Although it tastes tasteless, it is still good for a full stomach.How to make the emperor, who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, fall in love with him is a question worthy of careful consideration.
But Qi Lu didn’t feel embarrassed. Speaking of chicken leg meat, Qi Lu had an excellent dish that he had to make. When Qi Lu was working, this dish was popular in the company. Both executives and ordinary employees liked to eat this dish. Taste, the key is the top bag, with endless aftertaste, I wish I could eat it for a week without changing it.
That is - braised chicken and rice!
Speaking of this stewed chicken rice, it is really a meal. The most essential thing is not the chicken leg meat in the stewed chicken rice, but the soup of the stewed chicken, which is brown and yellow, with a little bit of oily soup floating on it Sauce, served with rice, it's slightly spicy after one bite, it's salty and fragrant, and it's not greasy at all. Anyway, Qi Lu always mixes the soup with rice to have a delicious meal.
What's more, you can add your favorite ingredients to the braised chicken and rice, add a little mushroom, a little bean skin, and a little bamboo shoots that the emperor loves. It tastes rich and does not feel monotonous.
Qi Lu rolled up his sleeves and robe, cleaned his hands, and started to act immediately. He got two pots and started cooking braised chicken and rice at the same time. Fascinated by the sidelines, it seems to be watching the master's demonstration.
Qi Lu made two pots of braised chicken. The first pot was started very early. Zheng Ji said in surprise, "Teacher Qi, this...is it not cooked enough yet?"
Although the stewed chicken and rice emphasizes the tenderness and flavor of the chicken, the pot is cooked too early, and the chicken may not be cooked through yet. I guess it will bleed out when you bite it open.
Qi Lv said with a smile: "I'm not familiar with it? Isn't that just right?"
Zheng Ji was stunned for a while because she didn't understand, is it just right if she is not familiar with it?It is true that many ingredients are eaten raw or half-raw, but how can chicken be eaten without cooking, I am afraid that it will cause stomach upset.
But Zheng Ji saw Qi Lu's "swearing" and his expression was very confident, so she swallowed all the doubts in her stomach. For some reason, seeing Qi Lu's expression made her trust him for no reason, so that others could not doubt him. .
As for the other pot of stewed chicken and rice, Qi Lv made the heat just right, cooked it in one go, and filled it with white rice. The grains of rice are distinct, as white as jade, and they are placed in exquisite vessels. In an instant, it became extremely noble.
Qi Lu put the two pots of stewed chicken and rice in Chengpan, and then he picked it up, and said with a smile: "This small dining room is usually used by Lu alone, no one will come in, if Zheng Ji will still be interested in cooking meals in the future, so she can come here directly."
"Really?" When Zheng Ji heard it, she was as happy as something, as if she was a child, almost forgot that she was a "great lady", and quickly said: "Thank you, Tai Tuo, I really appreciate it."
Qi Lu shook his head and said, "It's not worth anything."
He wanted to leave as he said that, but he didn't know that the two pots of braised chicken and rice were too much, so Qi Lu couldn't hold it for a while, but Yan Si was particularly discerning, so she came over to help carry it immediately, and said, "Teacher, the maidservant is here." Help."
Qi Lv nodded, took a Chengpan himself, and asked Mao Si to bring a Chengpan, and then the two of them left the dining room together and went to Lu's bedroom.
The eunuch was serving outside the Lu bedroom. Seeing Taifu Qi coming, he immediately flattered and said, "I haven't seen Taifu Qi yet, but I can smell it from afar. As eunuchs, we can smell Taifu Qi every day." The aroma of Fu's meal is really worth living in!"
Qi Lu smiled and said, "Is the Son of Heaven here?"
"Here!" The eunuch said with a smile: "The emperor is in the imperial room, and I have ordered that if the grand master comes, there is no need to communicate, just enter directly."
Qi Lu nodded, and said to Mao Si, "Let's go."
The eunuch couldn't help but take a second look at Qi Si, the people who followed the Taifu on weekdays were either small ministers like Yi Yangjian, or personal followers like Shi Hou, and he had never seen a woman follow Taifu Qi.
The eunuch's curiosity came up, and he couldn't help but carefully looked at the woman. She was dressed as a court lady, and she was not at all fashionable. Her face...was not very good-looking, but ordinary. Some are too careless.
But it's really strange that such a careless person actually followed Taifu Qi!
Qi Lv didn't know that because he was usually "not close to women", so now there was a woman behind him, which attracted so many speculations from the eunuch.
Qi Lu had just walked in, and before he even stepped into the door of the imperial court, he heard Ji Lin laughing.
Ji Lin put down the bamboo slips in his hand, stretched out his sleeves, and immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "The widow will know that the grand tutor is here, because the grand tutor always comes with a scent, it really makes the widow Haunted by my soul."
Qi Lu's eyelids twitched, and he thought that the idiom you used, Son of Heaven, is a bit weird?
Qi Lv walked in and asked Mao Si to put Chengpan down. Mao Si respectfully put Chengpan down, and then retreated to the corner.
Like the eunuchs serving outside, the emperor Ji Lin suddenly saw a woman beside Qi Lu, his eyes were full of inquiring eyes, you must know that Qi Lu has never been "close to women", except for "ex-girlfriend" Zheng Ji , there is no other woman at all.
Ji Lin couldn't help but also looked at Mao Si, Qi Lu didn't know that he had attracted so many speculations, and said, "My Son, today Lu brought a kind of food, but there are two flavors, please give it a try."
Ji Lin was attracted by Qi Lu's words, and said with a smile, "Oh? Two flavors?"
Qi Lu opened the first container first, and when the lid was lifted, a soaring fragrance rose into the sky. The aroma of braised chicken and rice was very overbearing, a kind of mixed with a slightly spicy taste, which fully stimulated the appetite.
Ji Lin happened to be hungry, so he quickly sat down on the table and said with a smile, "Teacher, what kind of trick is this?"
Qi Lu said: "Go back to the emperor, this is braised chicken and rice."
As he spoke, he passed the rice over again. Ji Lin didn't need Qi Lu to explain, and immediately picked up a piece of chicken. The chicken was wrapped in braised yellow soup, which looked very oily, but it didn't feel too oily. Ji Lin moved his index finger, and immediately took a bite.
"Hiss..." He bit down on it, but he didn't bite it off.
The chicken leg meat is supposed to be easy to bite off, but Ji Lin bit down on the side of the bone. He wanted to tear the meat off, but he bit into the tendons and couldn't stop tearing. Not only that, the place where the chicken is connected to the bone There are also blood streaks coming out.
Ji Lin was taken aback and said, "This..."
Qi Lu Lishan is a good hand, but he was so careless today, the chicken is not cooked, the whole pot is delicious, but the chicken is not cooked, how can this be eaten?
Ji Lin didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Teacher, the chicken is undercooked, it must be that the Taifu lost his mind while preparing the meal today."
Ji Lin was still "laughing" at Qi Lu, and Qi Lu took out the second pot at this time, lifted the lid, and it turned out to be exactly the same stewed chicken and rice.
Qi Lu didn't explain, and said: "Please try again, Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin frowned, a little puzzled, but he still picked up a piece of chicken leg meat, which was the same as before. The chicken leg meat exuded a unique aroma of stewed yellow, which was very attractive.Ji Lin took a bite, and his eyes lit up. The chicken was soft and tender, and the taste was smooth and tender. The soup was slightly spicy, and the chicken was delicious. Both spicy and salty were just right. With the rice, Ji Lin could eat a full Cauldron!
Ji Lin praised: "Teacher, this time is good, this chicken is tender and delicious, I have never eaten such tender chicken."
Qi Lv smiled slightly and said, "Lv dare to ask the emperor, why don't you eat the chicken here?"
Ji Lin didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "It goes without saying, of course, the chicken here is not cooked well, how can it be eaten, it will cause stomach upset after eating."
Qi Lu nodded and said, "Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has always been wise and wise, so he naturally understands such obvious things."
Hearing this, Ji Lin seemed to feel that Qi Lu's words had some ulterior motives, as if there was something to be said, so he immediately put down his small dagger, frowned slightly, and sat upright, switching from a gluttonous erha to the son of heaven mode in an instant , Said: "Teacher... seems to have something else to say?"
Qi Lu cupped his hands and said: "The emperor is wise, and the law is here to persuade. The emperor directly governs Weiguo, and he can indeed take back the land and military power of Weiguo, but now that the princes of the world are in dispute, and the emperor is worthy of taking the throne, this time seems to be immature. Although the chicken is delicious, if you eat it in one bite, you are afraid of hurting your body."
After Qi Lv finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down and said, "I ask the emperor to think twice about matters directly under the emperor's jurisdiction."
Ji Lin frowned, and after hearing Qi Lu finished speaking, he saw Qi Lu suddenly knelt on the ground again. He paused, and immediately bypassed the case, helped Qi Lu up with his own hands, and said, "Teacher, it's because I'm too ungrateful." You are sensible, so I bothered the Taifu to use different methods to persuade the widow, how could the widow not understand the meaning of the Taifu's punches?"
Obviously, Ji Lin is not a fool. Although many reasons are obvious, as the emperor, Ji Lin has seen a lot, listened to a lot, and has a little temper. Naturally, he has a rebellious mentality. , but just right.
Qi Lv was helped up and said: "The Son of Heaven is a transparent person, that's why Lv advised me like this."
Ji Lin smiled and said, "It's still too much trouble for the Master. In such a hot day, in order to persuade the widows, I went to the dining room to work hard. It's just..."
As he spoke, he looked at the uncooked pot of braised chicken and rice on the desk, and said, "It's a pity that it's delicious and not cooked."
Qi Lu saw that Yuan Tianzi was a foodie, and he was still thinking about this pot of braised chicken and rice.
Qi Lu couldn't help laughing, and said, "What's so difficult about this? Si."
"The servant girl is here." Mao Si waited on the side and immediately came up to meet her.
Qi Lu said: "Take it back to the dining room and put it on the fire to reheat it."
Yan Si is a person who knows how to prepare meals, so she immediately understood what Qi Lv meant, picked up the pot of uncooked yellow chicken and rice, and said, "Yes, maidservant will go now."
After all, he quickly backed out.
Ji Lin looked at the court lady named Yan Si, and became more and more strange. He really wanted to know how this court lady followed the Tai Tuo.
Ji Lin sat down again and said, "Is the Taifu ready to eat? Let's eat together."
The amount of stewed chicken and rice is large, and there are two pots. To be honest, Qi Lv was also hungry. He came to persuade him in a hurry, but he hadn't eaten yet. Anyway, it was not the first time he had dinner with the emperor. Eat together.
With quick hands and feet, Mao Si quickly brought over the heated yellow chicken and rice.
Ji Lin especially likes this mouthful, he eats it to his heart's content, he already eats a lot, after all, he is not yet 20 years old, and it is the time to "grow his body", he eats a lot, and consumes a lot on weekdays.
Ji Lin ate a beautiful meal, and sure enough, he sucked up all the soup with rice, and there was not a drop left, and then he said: "It's really not the right time for a widow to directly govern the country, but if we don't directly govern the Weiguo, now The state of Wei has no king, who should we send?"
Who to send?Now that Wei Zhouyu is dead, and his elder brother has also been killed, there is only one candidate for the state of Wei, and that is Wei Zhouyu's younger brother, the famous Wei Xuangong in history!
Why is it famous? Wei Xuangong is not the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he has not worked hard to rule, but he is indeed famous, because Wei Xuangong's romantic history is simply "singing and crying"!
Speaking of the romantic history of the Spring and Autumn Period, such as sons marrying young mothers, powerful officials falling in love with colleagues' daughter-in-laws, etc., there are almost everything that one expects to find.And this Wei Xuangong chose a daughter-in-law of Qi State for his son in history. When his daughter-in-law married to Wei State, Wei Xuangong saw that she was so beautiful. How could there be such a beautiful woman? Son?So he sent his son out on business, and took over his daughter-in-law.
This occupied daughter-in-law is Duke Huan's elder sister and now Duke Xi's eldest daughter, the famous Xuan Jiang!
Xuan Jiang seems to be a weak woman who is taken over, but if you really think that Xuan Jiang is a weak woman, you are very wrong.Xuan Jiang turned Wei Xuangong's confusion and took control of the government. In order to let his son come to power, he did not hesitate to frame Wei Xuangong's son to moles him. Also confusedly killed together.
After Wei Xuangong lost his son, Xuan Jiang forced Prince Ji's younger brother to marry him, and was re-elected as the mother of the state of Wei.Xuan Jiang is so domineering and destructive, but the blame is that she is too talented and too beautiful. After Prince Ji's younger brother was forced to marry an enemy, he unexpectedly gave birth to five children with Xuan Jiang!
In today's state of Wei, there is only Wei Xuangong, who is now the heir of the son Jin. Logically speaking, it must be the son Jin.
Qi Lv said: "Young Master Jin is now a hostage in Xing State, why not ask the Emperor to make an order to welcome Young Master Jin back in person and canonize him as Marquis of Wei. In this way, Young Master Jin must be grateful for the kindness of the Son of Heaven and work hard for the Son of Heaven."
Right now, there was no choice but to choose the legitimate Young Master Jin, so what Ji Lin could do was to extend favors to make Young Master Jin, the future Duke Wei Xuan, very grateful.
Ji Lin said, "That's true."
Qi Lu also said: "Now that the princes have not left Luoshi because of the unclear situation of the direct administration of the emperor, why not take advantage of this opportunity to recruit Mr. Wei to Luoshi, let the princes witness, and canonize the son as Marquis of Wei, so The name is justified, and there are princes attending the meeting, how grand it is, Young Master Jin must be grateful to the emperor, so why worry about not working for the emperor?"
Qi Lu's method was really "insidious". Before the princes left Luoshi, Qi Lu let them be free spectators and forced them to participate in the banquet to fill the table.
After hearing this, Ji Lin burst out laughing, and said, "What the Taifu said is right! I think it's really interesting, and I can't wait to see the princes attending the meeting."
After Qi Lu's persuasion was over, he didn't have to hide from the princes in the future, so he prepared to leave.
Seeing that Qi Lu was about to leave, Ji Lin finally "couldn't stand it any longer", and said casually, "Teacher, the people around you seem to be tense."
Qi Lu didn't expect Ji Lin to ask about Mao Si, so he said, "Return to the Son of Heaven, Mao Si is the female wine in the dining room, and she knows some cooking skills."
"Oh?" Ji Lin said with interest on his face, "I never imagined that you could cook meals?"
When Ma Si was mentioned, she immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "Si only knows a little bit about what the Son of Heaven is saying, so I dare not take it seriously in front of the Grand Tutor."
Seeing a woman following Qi Lu, Ji Lin felt uncomfortable, and his face became gloomy, but he didn't understand why, thinking in his heart, Qi Lu already had a considerate lamb beside him, and another An unsightly Shi Hou, if you add another Mao Si, what's the deal?
In the past, wouldn't the widow, the son of heaven, not be ranked high in Taifu Qi's heart?
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, and felt that he was very witty, and said to Qi Lv: "Teacher, let's do this, I just happen to be short of a maid to serve, and I can't find a good one for a while, I don't know why I don't know what to do when I see that Yan Si is very agile." Will the Tai Tuo be willing to part with her love and leave Mao Si in the imperial room?"
When Qi Lu heard this, he was really strange. Could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to Mao Si?
Yan Si was not very beautiful, and she was absolutely incomparable with Zheng Ji, but she didn't have the feeling of a boudoir like Zheng Ji, and she was more straightforward than careless, and her hands and feet were indeed nimble, which was excellent.
The more Qi Lv thought about it, the more this happened. He was afraid that the emperor really took a fancy to Mao Si and wanted to "accept" Mao Si.As a result, Qi Lu thought, didn't the emperor fight with himself because of Zheng Ji two days ago, but today he actually fell in love with Mao Si.
Sure enough, men in ancient times were all big trotters, and the kings in ancient times were super big trotters!
Qi Lu's eyes were slightly "strange", and he cupped his hands and said, "Since the Son of Heaven has spoken, you will stay in the Lu Palace to serve you."
Mao Si immediately saluted and said, "Yes, Si pays homage to the Son of Heaven again."
Ji Lin didn't know that the "strangeness" in Qi Lu's eyes was that he disliked himself as a volatile pig, and thought that Qi Lu couldn't bear to give up his love. Ji Lin felt that it was right for him to ask for Mao Si. After getting acquainted with Qi Lu, how can he still have the status of the emperor?
The more Ji Lin thought about it, the more he felt that he was witty, wise, and wise, and couldn't help showing a relieved smile.In Qi Lu's eyes, this smile is simply a smile of a pig's trotter...
The Son of Heaven does not intend to directly rule over the Kingdom of Wei, and the princes celebrate with the whole country, almost crying, but the big guy wants to stay and watch the prince of the Kingdom of Wei be crowned.Although all the princes were entrusted to Prince Jin in the Luo division, there was a little bit of praise for him, but there was no way to do it, it was much better than direct administration by the emperor. After weighing the pros and cons, the princes had to stay and participate in the banquet.
Young Master Jin was a hostage in Xing Country, and when he heard that the Son of Heaven wanted to take him as Marquis of Wei, he was extremely excited, and immediately set off to Luoshi, with a very humble and loyal attitude.
Today's banquet is the banquet for Young Master Jin to be promoted to Marquis of Wei, and from now on it will be Marquis of Wei.
The banquet was very grand. Ji Lin sat on the emperor's seat, toasted Wei Houjin, and said with a smile: "Wei Zhouxu, a rebellious minister and traitor, has caused chaos. Now the state of Wei is in ruins. In the future, we will rely on the Duke of Wei to govern the state of Wei well." , so that the widow can feel at ease, and the common people can feel at ease."
Wei Houjin immediately stood up, nodded again and again and said: "Yes, yes, what the emperor said is very true! Even if Jin is smashed to pieces, he can't repay the emperor's kindness. When he returns to Weiguo in the future, he must work hard, fulfill his duties, respect the emperor, and love the people. !"
Look at Wei Houjin's rhetoric, one set after another, I don't know how many manuscripts he has memorized, the princes looked at his fawning face, and felt very shameless.But today is Weihou's enfeoffment banquet, and it can be regarded as half of the master's family, sour and sour, it can still be shown.
Qi Lu was not the main character at today's banquet. Qi Lu, who has been popular for a long time, can be regarded as settled down. Although there were many people toasting, they were not as many as in previous days.
Qi Lu was idle for a while, then he saw someone coming to offer a toast, he immediately stood up, looked up, it was Qihou Lufu.
Qihou Lufu is the prince who is "closest" to Qilu, because the two sons of Qihou are Qilu's adopted sons, and Qilu has saved the two sons, so Qihou Lufu keeps repaying Qilu for saving his son. But in fact, to win over Qi Lu, he wanted Qi Lu to jump to his side.
Although Qi State is also very good and powerful, Qi Hou Lufu's young son will still be the famous Duke Huan of Qi in the future. No plan to quit.
Qihou Lufu was also a smart man, he invited Qi Lu twice, but without moving Qi Lu, he toasted with a smile, knowingly asked, "Doesn't Master Qi have a family yet?"
Qi Lv is not married and has no woman around him. Everyone knows this. Qi Hou Lufu said with a smile: "The Taifu is the minister of our Great Zhou Dynasty. He is busy with everything and needs the work of the Taifu. I don't have time to talk about these personal matters. You see, you and I hit it off so well, and the Taifu has a good relationship with Gouzi, it's not like this..."
Qi Lu then heard Qi Hou Lufu say with a smile: "Lufu has an eldest daughter who is exactly ten years old now, and she will be married in a few years. If Grand Tutor Qi does not give up, why don't we make an appointment now and wait for Lufu next year?" Surely the scenery will marry the youngest daughter to Grand Tutor Qi, how about it?"
"Boom——" Qi Lu's head almost exploded, Qi Hou wanted to tell him about his marriage, and also wanted to make a marriage contract with his eldest daughter who was just ten years old.
And who is Qihou Lufu's eldest daughter?Qi Lu was almost startled, it wasn't someone else, but the famous Xuan Jiang who defended the country with cholera!
Such a domineering woman, beauty is beautiful, Qi Lu is so afraid of trouble, so I don't plan to covet this beauty, good morning!
Qi Lu's face twitched slightly, and he said: "This... Qi Gong's love, how can Lu afford it? The daughter of the Qi State has golden branches and jade leaves, but Lu Lu is only a petty official, and she is extremely vulgar. She is really not worthy of a Qi State daughter."
Qi Lu desperately refused the "baby kiss", while Xiaobai, the young son of Qi State, came to Ji Lin with a wine glass and ear cup, looking like a grown-up.
Young Master Xiaobai held his ear cup, but what was in his cup was not wine, but an ordinary drink, and he cupped his hands to Ji Lin and said, "Congratulations, Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin looked down at Xiaodoubao. Although he felt that Qi Hou Lufu was a bit "insidious", but the son Xiaobai was very sweet, and his second brother, son Jiu, had a very good relationship with Qi Lu. Ji Lin was naturally friendly to the son Xiaobai .
Ji Lin pretended to be a big brother, and said, "Xiaobai Hexi, you should go to congratulate Duke Wei, why did you come to congratulate everyone?"
The son Xiaobai puffed out his small chest, and said like a grown-up: "Xiaobai congratulates the emperor, because the emperor will soon become a family with Xiaobai!"
Ji Lin couldn't understand, what kind of family?The Qi people's surname is Jiang, which is a descendant of Jiang Ziya, and Ji Lin's surname is Ji, so they are not from the same family at all.
The son Xiaobai then said: "Junfu is talking about marriage for the adoptive father and father, and wants to marry the eldest sister to the adoptive father and father as a daughter-in-law, and the adoptive father is also the master of the emperor, although it is going around, but this is not
Qi Lu's neck is numb, and there is a proposition, "ex-girlfriend" tells you to stop, do you want to stop?
Zheng Ji had already come over and said softly, "Teacher Qi."
Qi Luqian turned around with a smile, as if he had just seen Zheng Ji, and said a little exaggeratedly: "It was Zheng Ji, what a coincidence!"
"Unfortunately." Unexpectedly, Zheng Ji said this: "Ji knows that Taifu will go to the dining room every day, so he has been waiting here for a long time."
Qi Lu: "..." The ex-girlfriend, who is also the emperor's rumored girlfriend, has been waiting for me for a long time?
Qi Lu's scalp was numb. When he was angry with Shi Hou, he would show his face. When he teased Xiao Yang, he could make Xiao Yang blush. It may also be because Zheng Ji is a big girl, and Qi Lu is not good at being a rascal, so all her kung fu is useless.
"This..." Qi Lu said hesitantly, "I don't know if Zheng Ji has something to ask Lu to do it?"
Zheng Ji's expression suddenly twitched, Qi Lu's heart skipped a beat when she saw this expression, and she blushed slightly, it was hard to say, could it be...
Zheng Ji's "resurrection of old love" to herself?
Because of Qi Lu and Zheng Ji's "secret meeting" a few days ago, the emperor Ji Lin was very angry. Qi Lu didn't know the reason, but felt that the emperor had a different feeling for Zheng Ji, which is why he was so angry.
Qi Lv was born as a petty official, and although he is the grand tutor now, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, not to mention he really doesn't have feelings for Zheng Ji, and he won't compete with the emperor. Suddenly, my heart beat violently.
Zheng Ji hesitated, and said, "Actually...Actually, Ji has an unfeeling request."
Seeing what she said, Qi Lu felt that Zheng Ji "has no more love" for him, but after thinking about it, no, his own charm should not be so great. Compared with the emperor, Qi Lu is just too much. Fu, while Ji Lin is the emperor; Qi Lu is thin, and Ji Lin has eight-pack abs; although Qi Lu thinks he looks good, upright and good-looking, but the appearance of the emperor is comparable to that of the most beautiful grandson in his age.Because of these, Qi Lu still has some self-knowledge.
Then I heard Zheng Ji say: "Actually... Actually... In fact, Ji has loved the way of cooking since she was a child, but she was born in a family of officials and officials, and her brother was strict in discipline, so... So Ji was strictly forbidden to enter the dining room, lest she would give sacrifices to her." The family has lost a bit of face..."
When Qi Lu heard this, he was a little confused. It really wasn't because he was too charming.Didn't expect Zheng Ji to like cooking?Although there are many men and women who like to cook in modern times, in the Spring and Autumn Period, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, cooking must be a lowly slave with no family background. A daughter like Zheng Ji, a daughter of a country's prime minister, must be We have to live the days when we need clothes to stretch out our hands to eat and mouths to open.
Zheng Ji frowned, and said with some melancholy: "Ji sees Mrs. Qi serving the meals, and she is very envious, so she also wants... also wants to go to the dining room to take care of it, but there are many inconveniences in this dining room."
Qi Lv understood it. Zheng Ji liked to cook, but Ji Zhong didn't let her do it. After she came to Master Luo and stayed away from the strict discipline of Ji's family, Zheng Ji wanted to cook, but the dining room The house is full of cooks, and men and women are different. Although these days there is no tradition for women to go out of the door and stay out of the second door, Zheng Ji is not a way to mix in the crowd.
Coincidentally, Qi Lu had a separate small dining room. Because the emperor knew that Qi Lu liked to cook meals, he ordered to open a separate small dining room for him. It was next to the big dining room. Not that many people.
Zheng Ji stopped him today because she must have wanted to meet the world with Qi Lu.
When Qi Lu heard this, it was easy to handle. After he came to Spring and Autumn, he had never met anyone who was interested in cooking food. The emperor did not have much prejudice against cooking food, but... the emperor has no talent.
And what about the lamb shoulder?On weekdays, he was the one with the most nimble hands and feet, but when he entered the dining room, he was instantly stunned, with his hands clasped, as if he didn't know what to do.Needless to say, Shi Hou is the young patriarch of the Shi family. He always stretches out his clothes and opens his mouth to let him cut a piece of meat. Thanks to his good knife skills, Shi Hou can cut meat into strands of hair , it tastes no flesh at all, just like cotton wool!
Qi Lu was completely surprised when he heard that Zheng Ji liked cooking.
Zheng Ji was very embarrassed. Seeing that Qi Lu didn't speak, she thought he was going to reject her, and said quickly: "Ji is not here to make trouble, and she will never make trouble for the Taifu."
Qi Lu waved his hand and said: "Zheng Ji, you are being serious. Lu didn't mean that, but it was just a little accidental. I didn't expect Zheng Ji to have a special liking for Li Shan?"
Zheng Ji smiled shyly, and was even more embarrassed, and said: "When Ji was young, relying on greed and stubbornness, she sneaked into the dining room several times. It was very novel to see the cooks cooking, and she fell in love with her." After learning about Lishan, and now seeing Taifu Lishan's superb performance, An can't help but yearn for it in her heart."
It's not easy for Qi Lu to refuse Zheng Ji, after all, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, no matter Zheng Ji gets married in the future or returns to Zheng State, she will definitely not be able to eat.
Qi Lu simply said: "Okay, Zheng Ji, please follow Lu."
Hearing his promise, Zheng Ji was as happy as something, and immediately followed Qi Lu forward, and the two of them entered the small dining room.
Sure enough, there was no one inside, the utensils were neatly stacked, and the ingredients were the freshest. As soon as Zheng Ji walked in, her eyes lit up instantly. Qi Lu could tell that it was not a lie that Zheng Ji liked cooking, it was inevitable It comes from the heart.
Zheng Ji said excitedly: "It's really great, what... can Ji do?"
Qi Lu smiled and said, "What Zheng Ji wants to do, she can do."
When Zheng Ji heard it, she said happily, "Seriously? Then... Ji wants to make the spicy slices I ate a few days ago!"
Qi Lu didn't realize that Zheng Ji is still a "hot" woman, and she actually likes to eat spicy slices, a food that "ordinary people" like. Logically speaking, a rich lady like him should not eat this kind of snacks. of.
Qi Lu brought over the recipes, which he had sorted out these days.Of course, Qi Lu's level of "ancient Chinese" is still not very good. Although there are some studies, they are all secretly learned, lest others know that the Taifu is illiterate, so Qi Lu dictates and records the recipes.
Qi Lu handed the recipe to Zheng Ji, which said the recipe of spicy slices, Zheng Ji felt like a treasure, it felt like a grassroots protagonist in a martial arts novel who got the secrets of martial arts.
Zheng Ji hurriedly said that Qi Lu wanted to keep a polite distance from Zheng Ji, so it was difficult to get too close to Zheng Ji, and he couldn't guide Zheng Ji, which was a bit troublesome to say.
It just so happened that there was a sound of footsteps at this time, and a thin figure came in from outside the small dining room. It turned out to be a woman, wearing palace clothes, dragging a large box with fresh ingredients in it.
It was originally a court lady who added ingredients to the dining room.
The palace maid came in and hurriedly saluted and said: "My servant has seen Taifu Qi and Concubine Zheng."
Qi Lv nodded, and the maid put away the ingredients by category, her movements were very agile, she looked like a veteran.
Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you from the dining room?"
The palace maid nodded, and said very dutifully: "Back to Taifu, the servant girl was originally a maid in the dining room, but because the small dining room was short of manpower, she was sent here to deliver fresh ingredients."
Female wine is actually a prostitute in the palace.There are prisoners of war in every country. After the prisoners are captured, they have to feed and give them a place to live. It is not cost-effective, so there is a profession of female wine. pleasure.
The maid's appearance is not very outstanding, and she can tell at a glance that she is not the kind of "tall" female wine, the nobles don't like it, so she is assigned to be a "rough envoy maid", and Qi Lu happens to see it.
Qi Lu said, "Do you know how to cook?"
The maid hurriedly nodded and said, "My maid knows a little bit."
Qi Lu smiled and said, "That's just right, you stay here and fight by Zheng Ji's side, okay?"
When the maid heard this, she immediately said, "Yes."
Although Zheng Ji likes to cook and has some talents, she hasn't been in the kitchen for many years, so she is naturally very unfamiliar, let alone knife skills, it would be better to have the help of a maid.
The maid is good at knives, she looks like a veteran of cooking, she also knows some words, can understand the recipes, she has a nose and eyes when making big spicy slices for the first time, Zheng Ji and the maid quickly became friends.The maid's name was Yan Si, which means the state of Yan, and Si is the surname of the state of Yan, so she was called Yan Si.
The Kingdom of Mao is a small country among more than 100 countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is located in the east, below the three major eastern countries of Qi, Lu and Ju. It can be said that it is difficult to survive in the cracks.
Although Yan Si is not beautiful, but she has quick hands and feet, is particularly agile in her work, and does not talk much, which is very attractive. Qi Lv thought about it carefully, and he did not know what kind of character Yan Si was. Although there are many famous women in this era But Xuan Jiang, Wen Jiang, Ai Jiang, Mrs. Taohua, etc., are still all small bean buns, and some are not born yet. It seems that there is no such person.
Qi Lu saw that Zheng Ji and Mao Si got along very well, and he could save himself from being a teacher, so he started to cook by himself.
He came to the dining room today for a purpose, not just to prepare delicious food.The feudal lords have been chasing after Qi Lu these days, asking Qi Lu about matters directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, but Qi Lu is very tired.Furthermore, Qi Lu also knew that although Ji Lin wanted to rectify this era of impoliteness, but now Ji Lin's power is weak, and he has just ascended the throne, if he takes such a drastic move, he will definitely hurt himself.
In short, not yet.
Ji Lin is less than 20 years old now, and he still needs to gather momentum before he can put pressure on the princes of various countries, otherwise he is eager for quick success and quick benefits, lest he hurt himself.
The princes advised the emperor not to direct the government because of their own interests, while Qi Lv advised the emperor not to directly govern because of good intentions. Although they all advised the emperor not to directly govern, the motives are completely different.These days the Son of Heaven is already tired of the princes, if Qi Lv goes to persuade him again, I'm afraid it will backfire.
Although today's emperor trusts Qi Lu very much, Qi Lu also understands that as an emperor, who doesn't have a little temper?If the method of persuasion is not appropriate, it will only increase the trouble. Qi Lu is the person who is most afraid of trouble, and there is no reason to hold his head up to be a minister of deadly advice. Firstly, Qi Lu does not have the courage, and secondly, there is no need.
So Qi Lv took the matter of persuasion to his own business, using food to persuade, concise, and euphemistic, but not boring, just suitable for "Baby of the Son of Heaven".
Qi Lv's eyes lit up when he saw the basket of fresh ingredients that Mao Si had brought in, chicken, chicken is good, especially the drumsticks.
The chicken thigh meat is chewy and has only one big bone, making it easy to eat.Chicken also has a disadvantage, that is, it is too easy to get old, and when it is old, it will lose its texture. Although it tastes tasteless, it is still good for a full stomach.How to make the emperor, who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, fall in love with him is a question worthy of careful consideration.
But Qi Lu didn’t feel embarrassed. Speaking of chicken leg meat, Qi Lu had an excellent dish that he had to make. When Qi Lu was working, this dish was popular in the company. Both executives and ordinary employees liked to eat this dish. Taste, the key is the top bag, with endless aftertaste, I wish I could eat it for a week without changing it.
That is - braised chicken and rice!
Speaking of this stewed chicken rice, it is really a meal. The most essential thing is not the chicken leg meat in the stewed chicken rice, but the soup of the stewed chicken, which is brown and yellow, with a little bit of oily soup floating on it Sauce, served with rice, it's slightly spicy after one bite, it's salty and fragrant, and it's not greasy at all. Anyway, Qi Lu always mixes the soup with rice to have a delicious meal.
What's more, you can add your favorite ingredients to the braised chicken and rice, add a little mushroom, a little bean skin, and a little bamboo shoots that the emperor loves. It tastes rich and does not feel monotonous.
Qi Lu rolled up his sleeves and robe, cleaned his hands, and started to act immediately. He got two pots and started cooking braised chicken and rice at the same time. Fascinated by the sidelines, it seems to be watching the master's demonstration.
Qi Lu made two pots of braised chicken. The first pot was started very early. Zheng Ji said in surprise, "Teacher Qi, this...is it not cooked enough yet?"
Although the stewed chicken and rice emphasizes the tenderness and flavor of the chicken, the pot is cooked too early, and the chicken may not be cooked through yet. I guess it will bleed out when you bite it open.
Qi Lv said with a smile: "I'm not familiar with it? Isn't that just right?"
Zheng Ji was stunned for a while because she didn't understand, is it just right if she is not familiar with it?It is true that many ingredients are eaten raw or half-raw, but how can chicken be eaten without cooking, I am afraid that it will cause stomach upset.
But Zheng Ji saw Qi Lu's "swearing" and his expression was very confident, so she swallowed all the doubts in her stomach. For some reason, seeing Qi Lu's expression made her trust him for no reason, so that others could not doubt him. .
As for the other pot of stewed chicken and rice, Qi Lv made the heat just right, cooked it in one go, and filled it with white rice. The grains of rice are distinct, as white as jade, and they are placed in exquisite vessels. In an instant, it became extremely noble.
Qi Lu put the two pots of stewed chicken and rice in Chengpan, and then he picked it up, and said with a smile: "This small dining room is usually used by Lu alone, no one will come in, if Zheng Ji will still be interested in cooking meals in the future, so she can come here directly."
"Really?" When Zheng Ji heard it, she was as happy as something, as if she was a child, almost forgot that she was a "great lady", and quickly said: "Thank you, Tai Tuo, I really appreciate it."
Qi Lu shook his head and said, "It's not worth anything."
He wanted to leave as he said that, but he didn't know that the two pots of braised chicken and rice were too much, so Qi Lu couldn't hold it for a while, but Yan Si was particularly discerning, so she came over to help carry it immediately, and said, "Teacher, the maidservant is here." Help."
Qi Lv nodded, took a Chengpan himself, and asked Mao Si to bring a Chengpan, and then the two of them left the dining room together and went to Lu's bedroom.
The eunuch was serving outside the Lu bedroom. Seeing Taifu Qi coming, he immediately flattered and said, "I haven't seen Taifu Qi yet, but I can smell it from afar. As eunuchs, we can smell Taifu Qi every day." The aroma of Fu's meal is really worth living in!"
Qi Lu smiled and said, "Is the Son of Heaven here?"
"Here!" The eunuch said with a smile: "The emperor is in the imperial room, and I have ordered that if the grand master comes, there is no need to communicate, just enter directly."
Qi Lu nodded, and said to Mao Si, "Let's go."
The eunuch couldn't help but take a second look at Qi Si, the people who followed the Taifu on weekdays were either small ministers like Yi Yangjian, or personal followers like Shi Hou, and he had never seen a woman follow Taifu Qi.
The eunuch's curiosity came up, and he couldn't help but carefully looked at the woman. She was dressed as a court lady, and she was not at all fashionable. Her face...was not very good-looking, but ordinary. Some are too careless.
But it's really strange that such a careless person actually followed Taifu Qi!
Qi Lv didn't know that because he was usually "not close to women", so now there was a woman behind him, which attracted so many speculations from the eunuch.
Qi Lu had just walked in, and before he even stepped into the door of the imperial court, he heard Ji Lin laughing.
Ji Lin put down the bamboo slips in his hand, stretched out his sleeves, and immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "The widow will know that the grand tutor is here, because the grand tutor always comes with a scent, it really makes the widow Haunted by my soul."
Qi Lu's eyelids twitched, and he thought that the idiom you used, Son of Heaven, is a bit weird?
Qi Lv walked in and asked Mao Si to put Chengpan down. Mao Si respectfully put Chengpan down, and then retreated to the corner.
Like the eunuchs serving outside, the emperor Ji Lin suddenly saw a woman beside Qi Lu, his eyes were full of inquiring eyes, you must know that Qi Lu has never been "close to women", except for "ex-girlfriend" Zheng Ji , there is no other woman at all.
Ji Lin couldn't help but also looked at Mao Si, Qi Lu didn't know that he had attracted so many speculations, and said, "My Son, today Lu brought a kind of food, but there are two flavors, please give it a try."
Ji Lin was attracted by Qi Lu's words, and said with a smile, "Oh? Two flavors?"
Qi Lu opened the first container first, and when the lid was lifted, a soaring fragrance rose into the sky. The aroma of braised chicken and rice was very overbearing, a kind of mixed with a slightly spicy taste, which fully stimulated the appetite.
Ji Lin happened to be hungry, so he quickly sat down on the table and said with a smile, "Teacher, what kind of trick is this?"
Qi Lu said: "Go back to the emperor, this is braised chicken and rice."
As he spoke, he passed the rice over again. Ji Lin didn't need Qi Lu to explain, and immediately picked up a piece of chicken. The chicken was wrapped in braised yellow soup, which looked very oily, but it didn't feel too oily. Ji Lin moved his index finger, and immediately took a bite.
"Hiss..." He bit down on it, but he didn't bite it off.
The chicken leg meat is supposed to be easy to bite off, but Ji Lin bit down on the side of the bone. He wanted to tear the meat off, but he bit into the tendons and couldn't stop tearing. Not only that, the place where the chicken is connected to the bone There are also blood streaks coming out.
Ji Lin was taken aback and said, "This..."
Qi Lu Lishan is a good hand, but he was so careless today, the chicken is not cooked, the whole pot is delicious, but the chicken is not cooked, how can this be eaten?
Ji Lin didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Teacher, the chicken is undercooked, it must be that the Taifu lost his mind while preparing the meal today."
Ji Lin was still "laughing" at Qi Lu, and Qi Lu took out the second pot at this time, lifted the lid, and it turned out to be exactly the same stewed chicken and rice.
Qi Lu didn't explain, and said: "Please try again, Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin frowned, a little puzzled, but he still picked up a piece of chicken leg meat, which was the same as before. The chicken leg meat exuded a unique aroma of stewed yellow, which was very attractive.Ji Lin took a bite, and his eyes lit up. The chicken was soft and tender, and the taste was smooth and tender. The soup was slightly spicy, and the chicken was delicious. Both spicy and salty were just right. With the rice, Ji Lin could eat a full Cauldron!
Ji Lin praised: "Teacher, this time is good, this chicken is tender and delicious, I have never eaten such tender chicken."
Qi Lv smiled slightly and said, "Lv dare to ask the emperor, why don't you eat the chicken here?"
Ji Lin didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "It goes without saying, of course, the chicken here is not cooked well, how can it be eaten, it will cause stomach upset after eating."
Qi Lu nodded and said, "Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has always been wise and wise, so he naturally understands such obvious things."
Hearing this, Ji Lin seemed to feel that Qi Lu's words had some ulterior motives, as if there was something to be said, so he immediately put down his small dagger, frowned slightly, and sat upright, switching from a gluttonous erha to the son of heaven mode in an instant , Said: "Teacher... seems to have something else to say?"
Qi Lu cupped his hands and said: "The emperor is wise, and the law is here to persuade. The emperor directly governs Weiguo, and he can indeed take back the land and military power of Weiguo, but now that the princes of the world are in dispute, and the emperor is worthy of taking the throne, this time seems to be immature. Although the chicken is delicious, if you eat it in one bite, you are afraid of hurting your body."
After Qi Lv finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down and said, "I ask the emperor to think twice about matters directly under the emperor's jurisdiction."
Ji Lin frowned, and after hearing Qi Lu finished speaking, he saw Qi Lu suddenly knelt on the ground again. He paused, and immediately bypassed the case, helped Qi Lu up with his own hands, and said, "Teacher, it's because I'm too ungrateful." You are sensible, so I bothered the Taifu to use different methods to persuade the widow, how could the widow not understand the meaning of the Taifu's punches?"
Obviously, Ji Lin is not a fool. Although many reasons are obvious, as the emperor, Ji Lin has seen a lot, listened to a lot, and has a little temper. Naturally, he has a rebellious mentality. , but just right.
Qi Lv was helped up and said: "The Son of Heaven is a transparent person, that's why Lv advised me like this."
Ji Lin smiled and said, "It's still too much trouble for the Master. In such a hot day, in order to persuade the widows, I went to the dining room to work hard. It's just..."
As he spoke, he looked at the uncooked pot of braised chicken and rice on the desk, and said, "It's a pity that it's delicious and not cooked."
Qi Lu saw that Yuan Tianzi was a foodie, and he was still thinking about this pot of braised chicken and rice.
Qi Lu couldn't help laughing, and said, "What's so difficult about this? Si."
"The servant girl is here." Mao Si waited on the side and immediately came up to meet her.
Qi Lu said: "Take it back to the dining room and put it on the fire to reheat it."
Yan Si is a person who knows how to prepare meals, so she immediately understood what Qi Lv meant, picked up the pot of uncooked yellow chicken and rice, and said, "Yes, maidservant will go now."
After all, he quickly backed out.
Ji Lin looked at the court lady named Yan Si, and became more and more strange. He really wanted to know how this court lady followed the Tai Tuo.
Ji Lin sat down again and said, "Is the Taifu ready to eat? Let's eat together."
The amount of stewed chicken and rice is large, and there are two pots. To be honest, Qi Lv was also hungry. He came to persuade him in a hurry, but he hadn't eaten yet. Anyway, it was not the first time he had dinner with the emperor. Eat together.
With quick hands and feet, Mao Si quickly brought over the heated yellow chicken and rice.
Ji Lin especially likes this mouthful, he eats it to his heart's content, he already eats a lot, after all, he is not yet 20 years old, and it is the time to "grow his body", he eats a lot, and consumes a lot on weekdays.
Ji Lin ate a beautiful meal, and sure enough, he sucked up all the soup with rice, and there was not a drop left, and then he said: "It's really not the right time for a widow to directly govern the country, but if we don't directly govern the Weiguo, now The state of Wei has no king, who should we send?"
Who to send?Now that Wei Zhouyu is dead, and his elder brother has also been killed, there is only one candidate for the state of Wei, and that is Wei Zhouyu's younger brother, the famous Wei Xuangong in history!
Why is it famous? Wei Xuangong is not the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he has not worked hard to rule, but he is indeed famous, because Wei Xuangong's romantic history is simply "singing and crying"!
Speaking of the romantic history of the Spring and Autumn Period, such as sons marrying young mothers, powerful officials falling in love with colleagues' daughter-in-laws, etc., there are almost everything that one expects to find.And this Wei Xuangong chose a daughter-in-law of Qi State for his son in history. When his daughter-in-law married to Wei State, Wei Xuangong saw that she was so beautiful. How could there be such a beautiful woman? Son?So he sent his son out on business, and took over his daughter-in-law.
This occupied daughter-in-law is Duke Huan's elder sister and now Duke Xi's eldest daughter, the famous Xuan Jiang!
Xuan Jiang seems to be a weak woman who is taken over, but if you really think that Xuan Jiang is a weak woman, you are very wrong.Xuan Jiang turned Wei Xuangong's confusion and took control of the government. In order to let his son come to power, he did not hesitate to frame Wei Xuangong's son to moles him. Also confusedly killed together.
After Wei Xuangong lost his son, Xuan Jiang forced Prince Ji's younger brother to marry him, and was re-elected as the mother of the state of Wei.Xuan Jiang is so domineering and destructive, but the blame is that she is too talented and too beautiful. After Prince Ji's younger brother was forced to marry an enemy, he unexpectedly gave birth to five children with Xuan Jiang!
In today's state of Wei, there is only Wei Xuangong, who is now the heir of the son Jin. Logically speaking, it must be the son Jin.
Qi Lv said: "Young Master Jin is now a hostage in Xing State, why not ask the Emperor to make an order to welcome Young Master Jin back in person and canonize him as Marquis of Wei. In this way, Young Master Jin must be grateful for the kindness of the Son of Heaven and work hard for the Son of Heaven."
Right now, there was no choice but to choose the legitimate Young Master Jin, so what Ji Lin could do was to extend favors to make Young Master Jin, the future Duke Wei Xuan, very grateful.
Ji Lin said, "That's true."
Qi Lu also said: "Now that the princes have not left Luoshi because of the unclear situation of the direct administration of the emperor, why not take advantage of this opportunity to recruit Mr. Wei to Luoshi, let the princes witness, and canonize the son as Marquis of Wei, so The name is justified, and there are princes attending the meeting, how grand it is, Young Master Jin must be grateful to the emperor, so why worry about not working for the emperor?"
Qi Lu's method was really "insidious". Before the princes left Luoshi, Qi Lu let them be free spectators and forced them to participate in the banquet to fill the table.
After hearing this, Ji Lin burst out laughing, and said, "What the Taifu said is right! I think it's really interesting, and I can't wait to see the princes attending the meeting."
After Qi Lu's persuasion was over, he didn't have to hide from the princes in the future, so he prepared to leave.
Seeing that Qi Lu was about to leave, Ji Lin finally "couldn't stand it any longer", and said casually, "Teacher, the people around you seem to be tense."
Qi Lu didn't expect Ji Lin to ask about Mao Si, so he said, "Return to the Son of Heaven, Mao Si is the female wine in the dining room, and she knows some cooking skills."
"Oh?" Ji Lin said with interest on his face, "I never imagined that you could cook meals?"
When Ma Si was mentioned, she immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "Si only knows a little bit about what the Son of Heaven is saying, so I dare not take it seriously in front of the Grand Tutor."
Seeing a woman following Qi Lu, Ji Lin felt uncomfortable, and his face became gloomy, but he didn't understand why, thinking in his heart, Qi Lu already had a considerate lamb beside him, and another An unsightly Shi Hou, if you add another Mao Si, what's the deal?
In the past, wouldn't the widow, the son of heaven, not be ranked high in Taifu Qi's heart?
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, and felt that he was very witty, and said to Qi Lv: "Teacher, let's do this, I just happen to be short of a maid to serve, and I can't find a good one for a while, I don't know why I don't know what to do when I see that Yan Si is very agile." Will the Tai Tuo be willing to part with her love and leave Mao Si in the imperial room?"
When Qi Lu heard this, he was really strange. Could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to Mao Si?
Yan Si was not very beautiful, and she was absolutely incomparable with Zheng Ji, but she didn't have the feeling of a boudoir like Zheng Ji, and she was more straightforward than careless, and her hands and feet were indeed nimble, which was excellent.
The more Qi Lv thought about it, the more this happened. He was afraid that the emperor really took a fancy to Mao Si and wanted to "accept" Mao Si.As a result, Qi Lu thought, didn't the emperor fight with himself because of Zheng Ji two days ago, but today he actually fell in love with Mao Si.
Sure enough, men in ancient times were all big trotters, and the kings in ancient times were super big trotters!
Qi Lu's eyes were slightly "strange", and he cupped his hands and said, "Since the Son of Heaven has spoken, you will stay in the Lu Palace to serve you."
Mao Si immediately saluted and said, "Yes, Si pays homage to the Son of Heaven again."
Ji Lin didn't know that the "strangeness" in Qi Lu's eyes was that he disliked himself as a volatile pig, and thought that Qi Lu couldn't bear to give up his love. Ji Lin felt that it was right for him to ask for Mao Si. After getting acquainted with Qi Lu, how can he still have the status of the emperor?
The more Ji Lin thought about it, the more he felt that he was witty, wise, and wise, and couldn't help showing a relieved smile.In Qi Lu's eyes, this smile is simply a smile of a pig's trotter...
The Son of Heaven does not intend to directly rule over the Kingdom of Wei, and the princes celebrate with the whole country, almost crying, but the big guy wants to stay and watch the prince of the Kingdom of Wei be crowned.Although all the princes were entrusted to Prince Jin in the Luo division, there was a little bit of praise for him, but there was no way to do it, it was much better than direct administration by the emperor. After weighing the pros and cons, the princes had to stay and participate in the banquet.
Young Master Jin was a hostage in Xing Country, and when he heard that the Son of Heaven wanted to take him as Marquis of Wei, he was extremely excited, and immediately set off to Luoshi, with a very humble and loyal attitude.
Today's banquet is the banquet for Young Master Jin to be promoted to Marquis of Wei, and from now on it will be Marquis of Wei.
The banquet was very grand. Ji Lin sat on the emperor's seat, toasted Wei Houjin, and said with a smile: "Wei Zhouxu, a rebellious minister and traitor, has caused chaos. Now the state of Wei is in ruins. In the future, we will rely on the Duke of Wei to govern the state of Wei well." , so that the widow can feel at ease, and the common people can feel at ease."
Wei Houjin immediately stood up, nodded again and again and said: "Yes, yes, what the emperor said is very true! Even if Jin is smashed to pieces, he can't repay the emperor's kindness. When he returns to Weiguo in the future, he must work hard, fulfill his duties, respect the emperor, and love the people. !"
Look at Wei Houjin's rhetoric, one set after another, I don't know how many manuscripts he has memorized, the princes looked at his fawning face, and felt very shameless.But today is Weihou's enfeoffment banquet, and it can be regarded as half of the master's family, sour and sour, it can still be shown.
Qi Lu was not the main character at today's banquet. Qi Lu, who has been popular for a long time, can be regarded as settled down. Although there were many people toasting, they were not as many as in previous days.
Qi Lu was idle for a while, then he saw someone coming to offer a toast, he immediately stood up, looked up, it was Qihou Lufu.
Qihou Lufu is the prince who is "closest" to Qilu, because the two sons of Qihou are Qilu's adopted sons, and Qilu has saved the two sons, so Qihou Lufu keeps repaying Qilu for saving his son. But in fact, to win over Qi Lu, he wanted Qi Lu to jump to his side.
Although Qi State is also very good and powerful, Qi Hou Lufu's young son will still be the famous Duke Huan of Qi in the future. No plan to quit.
Qihou Lufu was also a smart man, he invited Qi Lu twice, but without moving Qi Lu, he toasted with a smile, knowingly asked, "Doesn't Master Qi have a family yet?"
Qi Lv is not married and has no woman around him. Everyone knows this. Qi Hou Lufu said with a smile: "The Taifu is the minister of our Great Zhou Dynasty. He is busy with everything and needs the work of the Taifu. I don't have time to talk about these personal matters. You see, you and I hit it off so well, and the Taifu has a good relationship with Gouzi, it's not like this..."
Qi Lu then heard Qi Hou Lufu say with a smile: "Lufu has an eldest daughter who is exactly ten years old now, and she will be married in a few years. If Grand Tutor Qi does not give up, why don't we make an appointment now and wait for Lufu next year?" Surely the scenery will marry the youngest daughter to Grand Tutor Qi, how about it?"
"Boom——" Qi Lu's head almost exploded, Qi Hou wanted to tell him about his marriage, and also wanted to make a marriage contract with his eldest daughter who was just ten years old.
And who is Qihou Lufu's eldest daughter?Qi Lu was almost startled, it wasn't someone else, but the famous Xuan Jiang who defended the country with cholera!
Such a domineering woman, beauty is beautiful, Qi Lu is so afraid of trouble, so I don't plan to covet this beauty, good morning!
Qi Lu's face twitched slightly, and he said: "This... Qi Gong's love, how can Lu afford it? The daughter of the Qi State has golden branches and jade leaves, but Lu Lu is only a petty official, and she is extremely vulgar. She is really not worthy of a Qi State daughter."
Qi Lu desperately refused the "baby kiss", while Xiaobai, the young son of Qi State, came to Ji Lin with a wine glass and ear cup, looking like a grown-up.
Young Master Xiaobai held his ear cup, but what was in his cup was not wine, but an ordinary drink, and he cupped his hands to Ji Lin and said, "Congratulations, Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin looked down at Xiaodoubao. Although he felt that Qi Hou Lufu was a bit "insidious", but the son Xiaobai was very sweet, and his second brother, son Jiu, had a very good relationship with Qi Lu. Ji Lin was naturally friendly to the son Xiaobai .
Ji Lin pretended to be a big brother, and said, "Xiaobai Hexi, you should go to congratulate Duke Wei, why did you come to congratulate everyone?"
The son Xiaobai puffed out his small chest, and said like a grown-up: "Xiaobai congratulates the emperor, because the emperor will soon become a family with Xiaobai!"
Ji Lin couldn't understand, what kind of family?The Qi people's surname is Jiang, which is a descendant of Jiang Ziya, and Ji Lin's surname is Ji, so they are not from the same family at all.
The son Xiaobai then said: "Junfu is talking about marriage for the adoptive father and father, and wants to marry the eldest sister to the adoptive father and father as a daughter-in-law, and the adoptive father is also the master of the emperor, although it is going around, but this is not
