Chapter 226 (2/2)

Qian Donglin came in and saw only one back. He quickly took back his sight and said hello to Pei Shuo.

When he came, Qian Donglin imagined Pei Shuo's appearance many times. He thought that either he was a tall and big man like a bear and spoke rudely without brain, or he wouldn't offend the emperor and be demoted to Wuling. Maybe he was a black and thin man. Looking thin, he actually took off his clothes and was as strong as the farmer in the field.

But when he really saw Pei Shuo, the sour taste rushed to his heart.

When he entered his thirties, he was admitted to the Jinshi and returned to his hometown to be the magistrate of the county. He thought that many people would work hard for him all their life, but Pei Shuo was already a league practice envoy when he was younger than him. He also had a good complexion and glowed white. At first glance, he was not a serious League practice envoy!

Qian Donglin was spitting in his heart, so he heard a crisp voice shouting, ”dinner.”

The Pei tuanlian envoy with a shelf in front of him suddenly changed his appearance. It was like talking to him with a shelf. The family was always lazy and couldn't lift up their spirit. As soon as they heard the meal, their eyes lit up and cheer up. Qian Donglin couldn't help but expect more for dinner. I heard that Pei Shuo's husband cooked better than the dishes in the best restaurant in the county. Maybe it's true to see Pei Shuo's appearance?

I met someone before I saw the food. I couldn't help comparing ah Yao with the one in my family. She looks different, but she's still a little inferior to the one in my family. After all, the one in my family is a daughter. She is pampered in her hand and has a rich smell of jewelry piled up on her head. The one at home is a peony, and Pei Shuo's wife is a daisy. She has low eyebrows and smooth eyes. She is as light as a chrysanthemum, but she looks younger than the one at home.

The sour taste surged into my heart again. Why is Pei Shuo so lucky—— Oh, no, he was demoted to Wuling. It's not a good life at all. Alas, he's still a winner in life.

A Yao didn't know that Qian Donglin's inner drama was so rich. She smiled and reported the dish name: ”gold brick white jade board, red billed green parrot, pearl jade white jade soup, rich chicken, poetry and gift ginkgo, please enjoy yourself.”

”Good, good, hard work, Mrs. Pei.” Qian Donglin was glad to hear the name of the dish. He looked down and his smile stiffened on his face“ This... Brother Pei, this? ”

At first glance, I think the name of the dish is very tall. The ingredients such as abalone, ginseng, wing belly, swallow clam, deer antler and brocade chicken are dried tofu, white tofu, spinach, cabbage and ginkgo. I'm afraid the most valuable one is the flower chicken called Fugui chicken.

”Isn't this a mean person!” He clapped his chopsticks and shouted.

Pei Shuo glanced at a Yao and finally understood the meaning of the gloating ”that's what you said”.

But what else can I do? If I say it, I have to swallow it with a smile, ”madam, can these dishes be said?”

”The white jade board is called rotten dry, and the green parrot is this dish. Once, emperors and civilians ate dried tofu with yellow noodles and porridge vegetables. They asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said, 'gold brick white jade board, red billed green parrot'. This pearl, emerald and white jade soup is also a folk dish that the emperor ate when he was young. Emerald is a help of cabbage. Spinach goes to the red root to take green leaves and cook it into a soup together with white jade, that is, tofu. With the pearl rice rich in Shuofang, each one is full, crystal, round and sweet. Such a soup pickled rice tastes delicious. As for the rich chicken, it was the emperor who had eaten the dishes, and even his name was given by him. ”

A Yao was ready to say his words and said calmly: ”the last one is just a white fruit and vegetable. I don't follow that. This is for the sake of the county magistrate. You are a scholar. I thought you should understand. I didn't think well, ha ha. ” When Confucius taught his son Kongli to learn poetry, he said: if you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say; If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand it. Later, it was passed down as a beautiful talk. Its descendants call themselves ”a family of poetry and etiquette”. Kong Zhi, the Duke of Yan, built a poetry hall. Two Ginkgo trees were planted in front of the hall. The ”poetry ceremony ginkgo” at the Confucius banquet was named after the fruit of this tree. ”

After the explanation, ah Yao's voice was completely cold: ”I saw the literary crepe written in the magistrate's family letter and quoted anecdotes and allusions. I thought that your hobby has always been the same. Imitating your practice and quoting dishes with anecdotes and allusions, I not only didn't get praise, but also said I was mean to be humble. Magistrate, I advise you not to do to others what you don't want. ”

Just throw your face and leave.

Qian Donglin's face turned pig liver. It turned out that it was for Lin's woman. He was so angry that he patted the table, stood up and planned to brush his sleeves and leave.

Unexpectedly, Pei Shuo dodged and blocked his way. His voice was gloomy. It seemed that the mountain rain was coming and the wind was all over the building.

”Lord Qian, come here. It's not a waste of my mother's mind to leave after eating.”

”No!”

”I'm not an open chicken cage. I can come and go freely.”

”... what do you mean, wait, don't come here, have something to say!”
