When Gu Xiang heard the three words "Please King Wang" and his eyes flashed slightly, he smiled and said, "Prime Minister Wang's daughter?"
"Yes, Wang Pingping."
Li Chengyu was a chatterbox in front of her acquaintances. Gu Xiang gave her a little response and she could talk happily for half a day.
"Wang Pingping, the most talented woman in our capital, can write poetry, grow flowers, and is beautiful. She has always been the best person in the circle of ladies in the capital. However, I am not familiar with others. Wang Pingping has always looked down on second-rate families like our Li family."
"Don't talk about us, even many princesses and princesses don't like to play together, except for the third princess."
"I don't know whether it's true or not. I seem to hear that Wang Pingping once buried the big princess in person, saying that she is a dignified princess, indulging in love, and she doesn't know how to respect herself at all."
"If I want to say, it should be a sensible person. If it is true, with the temperament of the eldest princess... Uh, a little girl like her, the eldest princess may not be concerned about her. But I think Wang Xianggong is a sensible person. If her daughter is really so ignorant, Wang Xianggong would not not teach her. Well, since the rumors that Wang Pingping had run over the eldest princess in person, she was taken by her mother to Quanzhou to visit her aunt and never returned to Beijing."
Gu Xiang thought something.
Li Chengyu blinked: "Hey, what do you think? I mean, now in the capital, there are a few good girls of the right age who are admired by them. It is a very long-term thing. The more open and upright the more others will not say anything, and they are afraid of hiding it."
"This is what my sister-in-law told me. She said that I am old. If I meet a young man in the future, or show my admiration for me in other public places, it's okay, but if someone secretly tells me something that is not there in private, he will tell me something that is not there, and tell my elder brother immediately."
Li Chengyu smiled, "But there are such stupid people. After reading too many books written by literati and scholars, he thought that the lady from a noble family was separated by a wall. When he heard a scholar chanting a poem and writing a couplet outside, he immediately wanted to agree with each other."
"What dream do they have? This is the capital. We have nothing to do to hold poetry meetings every day. The talented men we meet are carrying in a car. If we are not the young master of the top scholar, where can we find some admiration? If we really have that talent, will we really like a daughter? Isn't it good to ask the official media to say they have a marriage? No matter how good we can meet and test each other's feelings in a righteous way. What kind of thing can we do to give people a handle? What are the benefits of slandering their reputation? "
Gu Xiang chuckled and nodded, "This is very true."
"Anyway, Sanniang, don't worry, this rumor is really not a big deal."
Li Chengyu smiled and said, "But Mr. Li seems to have encountered some trouble recently. I heard that Zhang Sheren and Mr. Li fought in Funing Hall yesterday. Several pavilions were present at the time, and His Majesty was there. They were immediately punished by one of them for twenty sticks. Tsk, they were still in good health. If it were my elder brother, they would probably be gone after being beaten for twenty sticks. But these two people didn't even have to lift them, and they walked out of the palace gate by themselves."
Gu Xiang: "..."
Li Sheng’s health is so true.
I'm afraid something will happen to that Zhang Sheren.
Gu Xiang was a little worried, but Zhang Sheren was born into a noble family and now His Majesty is also tolerant and kind. I believe that an imperial doctor had already been to treat him at this time.
After a moment of contemplation, she turned around and returned to the house, took out two jars of medicinal wine from the kitchen, called Wang Ermu over and said with a smile: "Send this jar of wine to Li Changsui, I will prepare another food box and put some snacks in it. Don't forget to instruct Mr. Li to recover from his injuries and take care of his health."
Wang Ermu nodded in agreement.
Gu Xiang put the yam glutinous rice dumplings he made, the mung bean cake, red bean cake, and some perilla paste into the food box for Wang Ermu to take it out.
"Gudu."
Li Chengyu couldn't help swallowing again. Fortunately, she only brought Fu'er by her side. Now that Madam Huang, who was sent by her sister-in-law to teach her seriously, was not here, otherwise she would have to listen to the admonitions of her ears when she went home.
Now she is much more plump. Her sister-in-law controls her diet and only lets her eat light food, so she also takes away the snacks.
She really hasn't tasted sweet, soft and delicious desserts for many days. Although these desserts of Gu Xiang are the simplest things, they are actually very beautiful. The mung bean cake is the clear green, a bit like transparent jade, and the red bean cake is also beautiful.
Even the not-so-looking perilla paste looks golden red and very beautiful.
The sweetness is even more intense. Men are not bad, but for women, it is so delicious that they can’t be eaten. It’s a torture.
The small food box was taken away by Wang Ermu, as if he had carried Li Chengyu's heart.
Gu Xiang: "..."
She blinked: "So pitiful? Then you just eat some, one and a half, don't be afraid."
Li Chengyu was very principled. After agreeing to his sister-in-law not to eat these greasy ones, she insisted not to eat them. She tried her best to endure them even if she thought about it: "By the way, I heard that the few diners in Beijing who are quite famous recently are those who make "Good Food" and are going to start evaluating our Jinchu in Beijing. Sanniang, your Bobo Meat is also on the list, and you can participate in this Jinchu selection."
"The word "Jin Chu" is also the private name of the diners and gourmets. Most of them are rich and leisurely, wandering around all day and exploring food. At the beginning, they met delicious food and rewarded the chefs with gold."
"Later, even His Majesty advocated frugality, and the gourmets changed the trend in private and changed it to the chef they liked, so they put gold foil on the other party's name. Five years ago, Xie Shang and Chef Xie from Fanlou got all the diners' gold foil with an ordinary steamed bass. They were nicknamed Jin Chu. It seems that since then, those gourmets called the top chef Jin Chu in their private "Food Explorer"."
"Now, except for the four golden kitchens in Fanlou, there are only three golden kitchens in total. Once they become golden kitchens, it will be amazing and the business will definitely be booming."
Gu Xiang was a little surprised: "There is such a thing?"
After all, in such an era, chefs are just inferior.
Gu Xiang and Li Chengyu were talking here. Li Sheng had already received the mellow medicinal wine and snacks. He immediately drank a glass of wine. After drinking, he sighed, and reluctantly put away the snacks and wine: "Zhang Bing, come. Send this food box and wine to Zhang Sheren."
Zhang Bing was stunned and stared at the food box blankly.
Li Duzhi finally couldn't help but attack Zhang Sheren?
After thinking about it, he did not show up. He found a Chazi who had some relationship with the Zhang family and secretly brought the food box in private.
