When the aunt said that they might deliver sesame seed cakes to Wang Anshi, Madou Doudou happily agreed to the aunt's request.

"Okay, auntie, my sister and I will go deliver the goods now."

According to the order of the names on the note, Madoudou first gave the biscuits to Wang Anshi who was in the first row.

Although the two brothers and sisters had stayed in Bianjing before, the streets and alleys in front of them were still different from before.

According to the address, Madoudou asked around, and then she saw a mansion with the word Wang Fu written on the front door at the corner not far from Qian Street.

The characters on it are vigorous and powerful, written in light ink and written quickly. At first glance, it is written by Wang Anshi.

"Is anyone there? We are here to deliver sesame cakes to Mr. Wang."

Madoudou spared some of the sesame cakes on his hand for Zhiguoguo, and he freed his right hand to lightly press the iron ring on the door.

After a while, the door opened with a creak.

A middle-aged man with white clothes and dark hair walked out from inside, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and elegant clothes.

The most important thing is that the tortoiseshell on his head is very similar to Wang Anshi's portrait, as if Wang Anshi in the painting has stepped out.

"You've finally delivered it. I'm entertaining guests at home today. I've prepared all the food and wine. All I need is these two sesame cakes. Come on, I've collected the silver. Tell Aunt Sun that she'll deliver the cakes earlier next time.

."

Madoudou didn't know how to answer. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was really Wang Anshi, a talented man from the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties and a representative figure of the Northern Song Dynasty's reform.

"What's wrong? But I gave you the wrong amount of silver?"

When Wang Anshi saw Madou Doudou still staring straight at him after accepting the silver, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Madoudou scratched his head and apologized to Wang Anshi with some embarrassment.

"I've heard about Mr.'s name for a long time. We, brother and sister, are from China. If it's convenient for you, my sister and I can stay at your home after we deliver the cakes later."

Madoudou has now learned to speak in a formal manner, which makes Zhi Guoguo next to her not used to it.

After Wang Anshi heard what Madou Doudou said, he was stunned for a while, then he grinned.

"You are quite brave. Aren't you afraid of my rejection?"

Madoudou shook his head: "Sir, I have always been hospitable. I don't think you will refuse my request."

Wang Anshi handed the sesame cake in his hand to the servant beside him, and took a fan from himself and gave it to Madoudou.

"This is my token. Take it with you. When you come to my house after delivering the cakes later, remember to bring this fan with you."

Madou Doudou looked at Wang Anshi in surprise. Although Madou Doudou didn't understand fans, he knew that the personal fan he took out from Wang Anshi must be a precious thing.

"Sir, aren't you afraid that I won't return it if you take it away?"

Madou Doudou said what was in his heart. He always felt that Wang Anshi was testing him.

"Don't be afraid. This Bianjing city is big or small. If you really take my fan and don't return it, I will find a way to find you back. Okay, my guest is still waiting for me, you go and see it off

After you get the pancakes, go back quickly, maybe you can have some hot food."

Wang Anshi had an inexplicable fondness for Madouudou and Zhiguoguo, and he firmly believed that Madouudou and Zhiguoguo would come back after taking his token.

But the facts were as he expected. Madoudou and Zhiguoguo completed the delivery task arranged by the aunt of the sesame cake shop as quickly as possible. After greeting the aunt, the brother and sister entered Wang Anshi's home with their fans.

"You two young guests, you are here, and the master has heated up the dishes twice."

When the servants beside Wang Anshi saw Madoudou and Zhiguoguo returning, they hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them warmly.

However, when Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were served, it was discovered that Wang Anshi's hospitality was just like in the story, with two dishes, one soup and sesame cakes.

This may be the simplest banquet dish Madoudou has ever seen. After all, Wang Anshi was also a high-ranking official in the Northern Song Dynasty. This dish for entertaining guests is so frugal.

"It's not too much, just eat enough. I'll treat you two distinguished guests."

At the dinner table, Madoudou and Zhi Guoguo had the honor to hear Wang Anshi and his friends discussing the method of reform.

Wang Anshi was a famous thinker, politician, reformer, and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was mainly active during the period when Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was in power. His reforms were more based on the reform of the economic system, and he obviously avoided the former's core idea of ​​"rectifying the administration of officials."
