Chapter 637: Eat dumplings with vinegar and spiciness

PreviousBack to directoryNext
As long as they are not life-and-death enemies, few people in Chang'an will risk their lives to fight with each other.

Obviously, Yun Chu is not an opponent who can be beaten to death. Even if you beat him to death, if the other party doesn't even know about it, then it would be an unjust death.

The last effort of Xie Rong and the others was to clear the censor's stage.

When Yunchu succeeded in attracting investment, and when Yunchu was about to lead Wannian County to make a lot of money, Yushitai's response to the memorial to Xie Rong and the others was only two words - noisy!

Xie Rong and the others, who wanted to survive, also sent documents to Dali Temple, re-explaining the secret distribution of state funds by Wannian County officials. Dali Temple Minister Zhang Wenguan did not send anyone down to re-investigate.

Xie Rongneng could clearly sense that Zhang Wenguan was very afraid of Yun Chu.

When things have reached this point, Xie Rong has very few means at his disposal. Even though he clearly knows that all the difficulties he is facing in life come from Yunchu, he can only grit his teeth and endure it.

This is a very helpless thing.

Therefore, the three of them, Xie Rong, could only hold morning meetings every day at the Wannian County Government Office, recite the emperor's articles sonorously and forcefully every day, care about world affairs every day, and warn the officials in Wannian County to keep themselves clean every day.

When Naha was away, Li Si took Naha's place to deliver meals to Master Xuanzang every day. Master Xuanzang seemed to accept Li Si's existence, and sometimes even stayed with Li Si to eat with him.

Whenever there is a new dish at home, even a handful of leeks in winter, Yu Xiurong will ask Li Si to carry a basket and bring the fresh leeks to Prince Ji's Mansion for the old god to taste.

The emotions between people are definitely not innate, but cultivated.

Naha was already finished in Yu Xiurong's eyes. It was time to properly train Li Si. It was not that she hoped that this child would be powerful in the future, but that she could live a peaceful and happy life while being rich and powerful.

When Wu Mei learned that Yu Xiurong treated Li Si as an errand boy, she laughed and scolded Yu Xiurong for being too philistine for producing such a good thing as chives. He should have sent it to the palace for the couple to taste first, but instead, he gave it to him first.

I met the old immortal and the monk Xuanzang.

It is meaningless to argue with Sun Lao Shenxian and Master Xuanzang about the order of precedence. These two people have now jumped out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements. They are said to be subjects of their couple, but they don't seem to be.

On a day when the cold wind was howling, Yu Xiurong took a look at the frozen dumplings on the reed grate, gathered them into a lacquer plate, counted them, there were thirty-six in number, and called Li Si over.

Li Si, who was nibbling ice cubes with Yun Jin, quickly ran over. She liked to give food to the old gods. As long as she gave food or cold clothes, King Ji would always give her the same beautiful jewelry.

"Okay, okay, I'll send it to the old god."

Yu Xiurong patted Li Si's wet paw and said, "Send it to your mother!"

Hearing what Yu Xiurong said, Li Si's originally smiling face immediately became deflated.

"I'm not going!" Li Si replied very simply.

Yu Xiurong raised his hand and slapped Li Si on the butt, making her stagger.

"Auntie, I'm scared!"

"I am your aunt, but you were not born to me. Your mother was the one who gave birth to you in ten months of pregnancy. Without your mother, there would be no you. It is filial piety to send you some dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs, do you understand?"

"Let Yun Jin go -" Li Si yelled.

When the stupid Yun Jin heard her sister calling her, she ran over and said happily: "I'll go, I'll go..."

There was no other way, Yu Xiurong had no choice but to dress Li Si and Yun Jin warmly and put them in the carriage and let them go together.

The best carriage of the Yun family is the carriage of Princess An Ding Li Si. The advantage of riding such a carriage is that it is convenient when entering and exiting the palace, especially at dusk when the palace gate is about to be locked.

Yu Xiurong originally thought that the queen and the emperor would not like the leeks grown at home. When she heard that the queen was complaining, she had no choice but to get some dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs and send them to her.

Six generals of the Yun family escorted the carriage on the cold Chang'an Avenue. Li Si in the carriage rolled his eyes at Yun Jin who was lying on the window looking out.

"You can go ahead and help my sister fight ghosts later!"

"My grandma said there are no ghosts in this world."

"You are a man, so you are not afraid of ghosts. My sister is a little girl, so you are naturally afraid of ghosts."

"Okay, I'll go ahead and help my sister fight the ghosts."

After getting Yun Jin's definite answer, the corners of Li Si's mouth turned up slightly. As long as she didn't face her mother directly, she wasn't afraid.

The little girl is a princess. The carriage is not big, but it has four wheels. The two horses pulling the carriage also look smaller. The pony and the carriage look simple. Even the two maroon dwarf horses look full of energy.

, the decorations on the carriage are also more luxurious, especially the golden phoenix inlaid on the top door of the carriage, which speaks volumes.

After passing through the imperial city and entering the palace city, the carriage could not move forward. The eunuchs and the nuns put Li Si and Yun Jin on the carriages, and four big nuns carried them into the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.

Hanyuan Hall where he lives.

When passing by Liangyi Palace, Li Si couldn't help but shrink down and hug Yun Jin. For some reason, she was just afraid of this palace.

The Hanyuan Hall was brightly lit, the emperor and the queen were there, and a group of dancers were dancing. They danced very seriously, like willows in the wind, and their long sleeves were fluttering, which made Li Si envious.

So she pushed Yun Jin forward.

Yun Jin puffed out her little chest, holding a foot-long wooden sword in her hand, and walked boldly in front.

When the eunuch saw the princess hiding behind her, which was against etiquette, he dragged Yun Jin and asked Li Si to go forward.

Yun Jin said wah: "I want to help my sister fight ghosts."

The eunuch wanted to cover Yun Jin's mouth, but Li Si kicked him in the calf. While the eunuch was stunned, Li Zhi, who was drinking and watching the dance, noticed the two young ones and waved to Li Si:

"Come here and let Father take a look."

With a smile on his face, Li Si pushed Yun Jin to Li Zhi and said, "Father, this is Yun Jin, the eldest son of the Lantian Hou family."

Li Zhi looked at Yun Jin who looked wary and said, "Who are you guarding against? Oh, you still have a sword in your hand."

Yun Jin frowned and said, "My sister is afraid of ghosts, I want to help her fight them!"

Li Zhi said with a smile: "There is a lot of people here and the lights are bright. There are no ghosts. Can you let your sister over?"

Yun Jin looked around, then stepped aside, exposing Li Si.

Wu Mei said to Li Zhi: "This is the male of the Yun twins."

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin and said, "You don't look like a smart person."

Li Si quickly said: "Yun Jin is so smart. He has already finished studying "The Thousand Character Essay" and can also recite it."

Wu Mei said with a dark face: "In other words, you haven't learned "The Thousand-Character Classic" yet, right?

Didn't the Yun family say that they took in a brilliant female master? Why can't they even teach children well?"

Li Si was unhappy when she saw her mother. She didn't know where she got the courage. She actually said to Wu Mei: "I can recite the "Book of Filial Piety". The master said that girls need so much talent to do something. Being a good woman is more important than anything else."

good."

Li Zhi laughed when he heard this and said, "He is a knowledgeable person."

Wu Mei stood up and came to Li Si, leaned down and touched Li Si's cheek with her hand and said, "It looks better than last time."

Yun Jin said dissatisfiedly: "Aniang said my sister is the prettiest."

Wu Mei's originally gloomy face immediately smiled after hearing what Yun Jin said. She crossed Li Si and grabbed Yun Jin's fat face and said, "Is she more beautiful than your Aunt Naha?"

Yun Jin was very uncomfortable being grabbed, but he still said loudly: "Auntie Naha is a big beauty, and Sister Xiaosi is a little beauty."

Li Si saw that Yun Jin's face was turned red by his mother, and he quickly said: "Mother, my mother-in-law sent me to deliver dumplings to her."

Wu Mei let go of Yun Jin's fat face, looked at the dumplings on the lacquer plate with disgust and said, "Are they delicious?"

Yun Jin took a sip and said, "I ate eight!"

Wu Mei didn't see the dissatisfaction on Yun Jin's face because her face was pulled. Instead, she was very proud of her dumplings.

He said to Li Zhi: "I happen to be a little hungry, so I asked someone to boil these dumplings and take a bite."

Li Zhi keenly noticed Wu Mei's temptation towards Yun Jin and smiled: "He is a good boy with a pure heart."

Wu Mei sneered and said, "I will make a bet with Your Majesty."

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Oh, what kind of bet are you making?"

Wu Mei said: "I bet that the prince will come over before the dumplings are cooked."

Li Zhi said: "What's the point of betting? Hong'er and Si'er have always been close. When I heard that she entered the palace, I naturally wanted to come over."

Wu Mei looked at the emperor with a half-smile and said, "What is there to worry about when my daughter comes to the palace to see her mother?"

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Are you thinking too much?"

Wu Mei nodded and said, "That's true. Maybe I'm thinking too much."

The palace attendants took the dumplings down to cook, and Yun Jin and Li Si sat behind a low table. The low table was filled with various candied fruits, dried fruits, and snacks.

Yun Jin couldn't help but go to get it, but Li Si gave her a dirty look, so she sat down obediently and looked at the emperor and empress eagerly.

However, the emperor and the empress focused their attention on singing and dancing, so they naturally ignored these two little people.

Seeing that Yun Jin kept swallowing, Li Si peeled dried fruits with skins for Yun Jin, such as walnuts and pine nuts. As for those things without skins that could be eaten directly, Li Si would not touch them, and Yun Jin was not allowed to touch them.

After Li Zhi squinted his eyes and saw this scene, he said to Wu Mei: "It seems that Mr. Yu has taught everything that should be taught."

Wu Mei said: "It just makes people feel uncomfortable. Even parents are on guard. This shouldn't be the case."

Li Zhi said: "It's not us who are on guard. We don't have to guard against him, and we can't guard against him. Mr. Yu is teaching Si'er to protect himself.

Do you want to recall Si'er to the palace to educate her yourself?"

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "If we want to recall Gong, we should have recalled her a few years ago. Now that she has grown up and learned to recognize people, it would not be nice to recall her."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "You really don't like Si'er. Is there any reason?"

Wu Mei shook her head and said, "It's too painful and I don't want to think about it too much."

Hearing this, Li Zhi patted Wu Mei's hand and said, "This is good. It's good for you and good for Si'er. It can be seen that Mrs. Yu treats Si'er with care."

Wu Mei sighed and said: "She is lucky..."

After a while, the dumplings were cooked, and the palace attendants tested them for poison and brought them to the table. At this moment, Zuo Chun reported: "The prince has an audience."

Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi, who smiled awkwardly and then let the prince in.

Li Hong laughed loudly when he entered the door and said: "I heard that the father, the emperor and the empress were eating dumplings stuffed with chives. How can you eat such delicious food without jealousy and spicy food?"

After finishing speaking, he placed the plate in his hand on the table in front of the emperor and the empress. One of the white porcelain plates on it contained balsamic vinegar and the other contained red spicy oil.
