Chapter 26 Coriander must be eaten in a hot pot

That night, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) and his senior brother Chen Jinnan got very drunk in front of everyone.

It's night, and the waning moon is like a hook.

That night, two murderers appeared in the underworld lair of the 27th Gang and the 36th Platoon outside Ningguta City.

Two fast horses coming and going like the wind, and two masked men in black.

Kill everyone you see and chop everyone you meet.

Just like Changshan Zhao Zilong, he killed seven in and seven out.

It was night, Ninggu Pagoda's screams filled the field, and blood flowed into rivers...

The dawn moon is sinking in the west, and the sky is blue and cloudy.

In Xiaosonggang outside Ningguta City.

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) cupped her hands towards Senior Brother Chen Jinnan and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Without saying a word, he rolled his eyes at Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), "Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're not annoying enough, let's go!"

The sound of horse hooves broke, and an afterimage shattered the tranquility in the countryside of Ning Ancient City.

Seeing the handsome back of senior brother Chen Jinnan disappearing in the golden glow of the early morning, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) murmured to himself: "I'm here, everything is done, it's time to eat before leaving..."

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) slept until five o'clock in the morning before getting up. He closed his eyes and stretched his body. He looked up and saw two beautiful heads, both of which looked at him eagerly with bloodshot phoenix eyes.

"Why, the two ladies didn't sleep all night last night?"

Daiyu tapped her second brother's forehead with an orchid finger that looked like petals, and left.

Baochai said angrily: "Who could sleep with such a big noise last night...I was worried to death...Fortunately, I'm back..."

"What's going on? Why didn't I know about it? Now, what's going on outside?"

"The gangster's family members are beating drums to redress their grievances and file a complaint."

Gangster? Still complaining to the government?

This is a bit like the Japanese underworld in later generations. If you can't fight, you will call the police.

Don't be in a hurry, don't panic, after washing up, you change your clothes, put on the prefect's official clothes, and strolled to the court with Ming Yan brothers.

There was a large crowd of people kneeling down in the hall, all of them came to report the crime, the family members of someone who was hacked to death last night.

You can report a crime. You need to register first. How many people are in your family and how many people have joined the gang? All are listed one by one.

Do you still need to do this kind of registration?

Then... forget it...

After a while, all the people in the hall who complained about injustice were gone.

Sitting in the empty lobby is really boring and sleepy, so I might as well go back and take a nap, it will be so comfortable.

Walking back to the backyard, he saw the two ladies craning their necks to look at him. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) explained: "They are all gone, and they don't even report the crime... It's strange that the city has been so quiet all morning, and there's not even a fight."

…”

Baochai asked: "Everyone left? No one was left?"

"Having a gangster is the same crime as the gangster. It's fine if you don't leave..."

"People... too many died..."

"This is the price."

Ten days later, the appeasement envoy sent by the imperial court arrived.

Li Guangdi was dressed in Tsing Yi, standing tall, and his forehead and face were shaved extremely clean.

Since you are Nalan Xingde’s teacher, and Nalan Xingde is my brother, you are my teacher.

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) respectfully performed the student salute.

Within a few years, he became a Congsanpin, and he did quite well.

But what's the deal with you always wearing a scholar's Tsing Yi? Is that official robe so offensive?

I've been a little annoyed by Li Guangdi lately. Every time he writes a letter, he always starts with "Confucius said Cheng Ren, Mencius said Qi Yi..." Can you speak and write well?

A very old-fashioned guy... But Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) believes that this can be solved with a hot pot.

If one doesn't work, just two.

Sure enough, Li Guangdi enjoyed the meal so much that he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his trip.

I opened the red pot and white pot together, and I especially like to eat coriander. It was not enough to just pour the finely chopped coriander into my mouth and chew it, so I simply grabbed a small basket of coriander, poured it into the pot, and rinsed the coriander.

The maids waiting on the side felt terribly distressed.

It took the two ladies and their maids to experiment many times before they could grow such a few baskets in the greenhouse. They usually put a small amount of shabu-shabu in the mixing bowl, but they didn't expect that Li Guangdi would actually use it.

When rinsing vegetables, isn’t there winter-stored Chinese cabbage next to it?

Ying'er, who was waiting by the side, almost had fire in her eyes.

The wine was an "old knife" that had been stored in the Xue family for many years. It was very spicy and Li Guangdi didn't even take a few sips.

"Are there any more... these small green vegetables? Don't be stingy. Two more baskets..." Li Guangdi picked up the last coriander from the pot and put it into his mouth, asking with lingering interest.

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) spurted out a mouthful of meat.

"You call it...little green vegetables?"

It turns out this guy doesn’t know coriander!

"It's green, what do you call it if it's not called baby greens? But...it's so fragrant..."

"Yes, yes, if you eat it the way you do, teacher, you will eat me up. Teacher, do you know how expensive this dish is? One tael of silver per root. The teacher just ate more than a thousand taels of silver..."

"Really or not?" Li Guangdi always knew that this little Mr. Jia was not serious, but looking at his expression and actions just now, it didn't look like he was joking.

"It's more real than real. This small green vegetable is called coriander. The seeds alone cost fifty taels of silver, and the greenhouse to draw the hot springs cost more than two thousand taels of silver... This does not include the two ladies who carefully tended it...

…If you say it’s one tael a piece of silver, it’s better to say it’s less...”

While they were chatting, Baochai came in with two large baskets of coriander. Hearing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) make nonsense, he burst into laughter.

"Teacher, don't pay attention to him. He's used to it. There are plenty of coriander..."

Li Guangdi gave Baochai two lessons in the capital, and Baochai had to practice student etiquette in a serious manner.

"Confucius said Cheng Ren, Mencius said Qi Yi... Today the teacher is greedy..."

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) just likes Li Guang's words "Confucius said Chengren, Mencius said Yiyi". It's so exciting that I can't get enough of it.

If it was written like that in the letter, it would be a far cry.

It was as if when he said this, a lot of awe-inspiring righteousness arose out of thin air.

After finishing the pot and drinking the tea, it was time to get down to business.

Clearing his throat, Li Guangdi went straight to the topic.

"In one night in Ninggut City, more than 3,000 people from more than 50 gangs were completely killed by two black-clad killers... I heard that the two killers killed seven in and seven out... Mr. Xiao Jia, just a little

Didn’t you realize it?”

"That night when I was with a guest, I was so drunk that I couldn't wake up. Everyone in the house can testify..."

"Hahaha...I didn't say you did it. Why are you nervous?"

"Students are frightened and trembling in front of the teacher, and dare not speak."

"There are not many students in the world who are as frightened as you... As for the secret, I had already planned it on the way here. The gangs will fight in a big fire and die together. Now, it will not have much involvement with the Xue family and the Jia family.

"

"Students are afraid..." This time Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was really frightened.

"Coming back now, the most important task is to supervise the farmers...Rong Yiruo is coming too. He is now a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, responsible for farming."

Nalan Xingde is coming too? Why would he come to the Northeast if he doesn't write his lyrics well?

Farming? Does he understand?
