Chapter Thirty-six I'm dying
Chapter 36 I'm so anxious
If calculated by seniority, Li Yuan is the nephew of Li Xiaozong. However, on the surface, the wealthy families seem to be strict in hierarchy and clear in their systems, but in fact they are in a mess. When the old man of the Li family was almost eighty, he took a 14-year-old girl as beautiful as a flower. Two years later, the little girl gave birth to a son. Don’t say that others are the old man, so he recognizes his relatives. If the child is not his, don’t talk about the child, even the child is probably going to sink into the river.
It’s strange that the child was really his after he recognized his blood. The old man was overjoyed and held a banquet for three days. In addition to proving that the old man of the Li family was fierce, it could only prove that the family was really in chaos. The old man was Li Lun’s father, that is, the grandfather of Li Yuanshan, the general of the Right Guard, Li Yuanshan, the great master of Li Xiaozong, the tooth general of the border city, and Li Yuan’s grandfather.
The old man of the Li family has lived to be in his nineties. Although the teenager is Li Yuan's grandfather, he has no status because he is a concubine. The three-day banquet is not so much to celebrate his birth, but rather to say that the old man celebrates that he is still victorious.
But I don’t know why, the child looks particularly like his eldest nephew…
Li Xiaozong was also a concubine, so even if he had a military position as a fifth-rank general, he would not have any identity as long as he returned to the Li family compound.
Li Yuan is Li Lun's legitimate grandson, although he is not the eldest son of the eldest son.
The Li family was originally the dominant family in Longxi County, so Li Yuan's domineering is understandable. The entire Sui Dynasty, looking at the entire Sui Dynasty, is also a big tree.
At the foot of the murm mountain, Fang Jie had specially ordered the big dog to drive the carriage far away from Hongxiuzhao's camp, and asked Mu Xiaoyao to spend the night. Mu Xiaoyao's first words were to ask Fang Jie what you were planning to do to harm the sky? Fang Jie said seriously that this time was to practice the way for heaven, and Mu Xiaoyao said that this was a new thing and I couldn't leave no matter what I said, so I must stay and take a look.
Mu Xiaoyao said he wanted to stay, no one was angry, whether it was Fang Jie or Da Ju.
So Mu Xiaoyao was still sleeping in the carriage, while the dog reluctantly squatted aside to peel the deer hunted. He rarely took action on this matter himself, although he was a person who was not happy with meat. Whenever Fang Jie asked him to take action on it himself, he would always say that a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen, but he would never see any gentleman.
He loves to eat meat, but he will never cook by himself unless he has to.
I don’t know if there is any secret behind his meaningless persistence, Fang Jie once tried it but got nothing.
So when Fang Jie brought Li Yuan, Cui Lue Shang and others back to the carriage, the big dog was still worried about the dead wild game. There was an iron pot in front of him, and the water in the pot was boiling, but the pheasant was still standing on the side, and the two deer were still hanging on the branches on one side.
After Fang Jie came back, he pretended to be angry and cursed a few times, then smiled and asked Li Yuan and others to pluck the hairs of the wild game later. Li Yuan and others would never interfere in such a vulgar matter. Even when Fang Jie was quick and skillful in throwing the pheasant into boiling water and scalding the hairs, and then throwing a deer on the ground and peeling it with a sharp blade, everyone's eyes were filled with a strong sense of disdain and contempt.
A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the nobles are naturally not as vulgar as such. Even Cui Lue Shang felt uncomfortable after watching for a while, so he pulled Li Yuan and others up a high slope to see the night mountain scenery. Li Yuan and Cui Lue Shang talked and laughed, and gave the short and ugly Liu Yineng a wink. This is notorious in Xiangcheng. He peeked at a woman taking a bath at the age of five, kicked the widow's door at the age of nine, slept all the maids around him at the age of twelve, and slept all the women in Xiangcheng brothels at the age of seventeen, and even the guy who was the maid of the Xiangcheng brothel immediately turned around and held a pack of inferior poison from the three gates in his hand.
Originally they planned to destroy Cui Lushang, but now Fang Jie's scapegoat suddenly appeared, so they naturally became even more unscrupulous. Even if Cui Lushang was poisoned to death, they would just be able to explain a story of making money in the wilderness. Could it be that the yamen runners and constables and even county magistrates and magistrates in Xiangcheng really investigated carefully to offend the Li family's Liu family?
The Cui family's power in Xiangcheng is far inferior to that of the Li family and the Liu family, so this matter is not a big deal in the eyes of Li Yuan and Liu Yineng. But they both thought they were smart but forgot to think about it. The first two times when the Martial Arts Academy recruited students, the governor of Hexi Road, Yang Xiuchen, recommended all the Li family members. Why did this time change to the Cui family, which is just a second-rate family in Longxi?
If a person reaches the extreme of arrogance, he is stupid.
Just two months ago, His Majesty the Emperor promoted Concubine Cui to a noble concubine.
The poison in Liu Yineng's hand is not a good thing at all. It is not a masterpiece of Sanxiaotang's secret product, nor is it a seven-step poison of Gui Crying Zi, nor is it a hundred flowers poison of the crazy woman in Lingyan Valley. It is just a bottle of despicable poison bought from the world's poor hands, and can buy ten bottles for a lifetime.
Low quality is inferior quality, but it takes human life without ambiguity.
The big dog sitting on the side boiling water picked up the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but whisper a dirty thing. Then he mourned himself and said that his nose was too good to work is not a good thing. The fishy smell of this poison is so foul.
Liu Yineng pretended to see Fang Jie peeled the deer, then blocked the big dog's view and quietly sprinkled the pack of poison into the iron pot. The water in the pot suddenly burst out with a few crackling sounds. The big dog couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the poisoned garbage was really hard for you, and then deliberately turned his head to look elsewhere and pretended not to notice.
Such a inferior method was so simple that Fang Jie couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He scolded Liu Yineng's ancestors three times after seeing it. But he absolutely did not greet any of Liu Yineng's female relatives. The reason was very simple. Liu Yineng was so ugly that Fang Jie really had no desire for such a person's matriarchy.
To poison the two people who were poisoned had to pretend to turn a blind eye. Fang Jiezhen was anxious for the young master who was arrogant in Xiangcheng. Such a method would be in Xiangcheng, and it would always be the tail behind Li Yuan's butt. If he had met someone from a truly great family in the imperial capital, he would have been killed by others and would not have even left the scum.
Liu Yineng turned around and left, and was full of pride.
The big dog glanced at the pot of foam and asked the Fang to explain: "What should I do? This stupid - have you never seen the water boiling like? The water is so chubby that it's so greasy."
Fang Jie had no choice but to get up and take a wooden scoop and scoop out the foam from the boiling water little by little: "Don't blame me, amateurs are still amateurs after all."
...
...
Pheasant needs boiling water to remove hair, and after peeling the deer, it must be washed in water. Therefore, if both of these things are touched by water, they are poisonous. This is the most intolerable thing for big dogs. I don’t know how many people scolded Liu Yi’s ancestors in their hearts. He can tolerate anything he wastes, but it is difficult for him to accept wasting meat.
If Fang Jie had not repeatedly said that he would have taken him to the best restaurant and the best table, the big dog might have gone on strike immediately.
So while being glad that he met a pig-like opponent, Fang Jie also sighed that he had to be careful of his teammates like a pig. Oh no, he was a dog-like teammate.
After more than half an hour of suffering, Fang Jie finally prepared the wine and meat for entertaining guests. When the roasted meat was cut and put on, both Li Yuan and Fang Jie were relieved.
"Where is the wine?"
Fang Jie saw that the big dog who went to the carriage to get the wine had not come back yet, and pretended to be unhappy and shouted: "If you ask you to get some wine, do you think I have paid you a lot of money? When I arrive in Chang'an City, I will hire someone smarter, who is old and stupid, and you will have no use at all!"
Li Yuan, Cui Lue Shang and others subconsciously looked at the carriage, but saw that the carriage was shaking violently. Even the slow horse pulling the carriage seemed to be frightened and almost ran forward. Cui Lue Shang was frightened and couldn't help asking Fang Jie, "Why are your wine locked in the iron box? It's so loud to get the wine!"
Fang Jie then realized something and couldn't help but pray for the big dog in his heart.
At this moment, the big dog plopped out of the carriage and put his face on the ground.
He struggled to stand up, and walked towards this side with two wine bags, his eyes were black and the corners of his mouth were swollen. He muttered as he walked, "Get wine... do you think it's so easy?"
Fang Jie quickly met him, took the wine bag and laughed, "This old guy loves to steal my wine, so he hides it a little secretly."
The big dog snorted and turned his head to walk to the carriage, leaned against a tree and rubbed the painful corners of his mouth and cursed in a low voice: "Mu Xiaoyao... Isn't it just to take you two bags of wine? As for such a ruthless move?"
Fortunately, his voice was very low, and Li Yuan and others could not hear it.
Fang Jie personally filled the wine for Li Yuan, Cui Lue Shang and others, and said with a smile: "This servant was hired from the countryside. I have never seen any world. Don't be surprised by the young masters. However, this wine is a good wine, and can only be bought from Fangu, the border city."
Cui Lue Shang picked up the wine glass and smelled it, and couldn't help but praise: "The wine is fragrant, it is indeed a good wine. You can know without using it that this wine has been stored for at least three to five years."
Li Yuan is also a good wine person, so she couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and taste it.
"It's really good. Although it's not as good as Longtan wine in Xiangcheng, it's also a rare fine wine. I didn't expect that such good wine would be produced in such a cold and remote place as Fan Gu."
"The wine is good, and Brother Shang's craftsmanship is even more good!"
Li Yuan pointed to the barbecue in front of him and praised: "The color is golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."
“Try it?”
Fang Jie quickly said, "Look at whether it suits the taste?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Liu Yineng saw him from the side and said quickly: "Brother Shang is the master today, and we are guests. How can the owner eat first if he doesn't eat the guest? You eat first, and we will eat later."
Fang Jiefang lowered the chopsticks he had already picked up and said seriously: "No, right? It's because I am the master today and the young masters are guests. How can the guests not eat the master himself? I think Mr. Li is respected, so Mr. Li will use the first chopstick first today, otherwise everyone will let the food come and go cold."
Li Yuan waved his hand quickly and said, "We can only eat such delicious food after being exposed to Mr. Cui. Why not let Mr. Cui take off his chopsticks first?"
Cui Lue Shang was a real person. He thought for a while and said, "Then I'll eat first."
"Wait!"
Fang Jie stopped him and said, "Our Great Sui Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we cannot lose etiquette. Let's talk about our age, and who is the oldest will eat first."
Cui Lue Shang smiled and said, "It's good!"
Li Yuan's face turned pale, and he looked at the people around him, but he was the oldest: "This is not good... Older people naturally have to let the younger people eat first. This is the virtue advocated by the Great Sui Dynasty."
"That's right!"
Cui Lue Shang said: "Brother Shang, you must be the youngest, and you should eat it first."
"No, Mr. Li will eat first"
"Brother Shang eat first"
"Mr. Li eat first"
"Brother Shang eat first"
I couldn't argue so much that I gave it back and forth more than a dozen times and no one was willing to eat it first. In the end, I couldn't think of any words to refuse, but no one was willing to use the chopsticks first.
At this moment, a scent of fragrance blew over, followed by a red shadow blocking the view. When everyone was stunned, they saw a beautiful woman in red dress pressing Li Yuan to the ground, pinching Li Yuan's mouth with one hand, holding up the plate with the other and pouring it into Li Yuan's mouth!
"Fuck! I'm so anxious!"
Mu Xiaoyao cursed and glared at Fang Jie fiercely.
