The girls were surprised that Lin Jue knew the formula and asked Lin Jue how he knew it. Of course, Lin Jue couldn't tell them. He just smiled enigmatically and didn't answer.
Fang Huanqiu said angrily: "I understand, Lu Wu has told her husband a long time ago that the two of them deliberately colluded to come here to make fun of us and kept us in the dark. Hey, I didn't expect that Lu Wu would be so skillful and deceive us.
Isn’t it interesting to go around in circles?”
Hearing this, Lu Wu blushed and shouted, "I didn't."
Gao Muqing added jealousy and teased: "Don't explain it. If you don't tell me, how will your husband know? Oh, you said you wanted to keep it a secret for others. My husband told him as soon as he came back. It seems that this confidentiality is just a secret from us."
Bai Bingyingyingqianqian and others smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lu Wu waved her hands and shouted: "It's true, I can swear to God. Husband, tell them that I really didn't join forces with you to deceive them. It has only been less than an hour since you came back home, and I haven't said much to you."
In a word, it’s really an unjust death.”
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Okay, I prove that you didn't tell. We just have a clear understanding of each other. If you don't tell me, I can know what you are thinking, hahaha."
Lin Jue's words were not an explanation at all. They were simply adding to the confusion. The more they were smeared, the darker they became. The girls also heard that Lin Jue was deliberately causing trouble.
Gao Muqing shouted: "Ouch, that's so disgusting. But who would believe it? If you want to say that there is a connection between the two, could it be that there is a connection between you and that shopkeeper Zheng Dongpo? Oh, that would be really interesting."
Everyone was stunned on the spot, and burst into laughter the next moment. Thinking about the scene where the husband and the short bald shopkeeper Zheng had a close connection, the scene was simply unimaginable, how could it not make people laugh.
Fang Huanqiu fell down laughing, holding her stomach and yelling. Qianqian leaned her head on Lu Wu's shoulder and laughed so hard that her body shook. If Lu Wu hadn't hugged her, she would have fallen to the ground. Even the one who had been looking calm before
The little princess covered her mouth and couldn't help coughing. Several maids who were waiting nearby didn't dare to laugh in front of her. They turned their backs and shrank their heads, shaking like chaff. Everyone laughed together.
Lin Jue stared at Gao Muqing dumbfounded, feigning anger. Gao Muqing smiled and said: "Husband, calm down, I will make amends to you. Come, let's have a drink with your husband, don't even bother laughing. Are there any rules?"
The girls stopped laughing and poured wine one after another. Although they couldn't help laughing, the rules were still the same. Everyone looked at Guo Caiwei, waiting for her to stand up and lead everyone in the toast. Guo Caiwei was obviously a little distracted, and only picked up the wine cup after being reminded.
After standing up, all the girls also stood up and raised their glasses to Lin Jue.
"My husband has worked hard in the war, and today he has returned in triumph and has made great achievements. The world admires and praises him. But for us, my husband's safe return is more important than anything else. I would like to offer you a glass of wine and thank you for your hard work for the country and the family."
I hope that your husband is safe and healthy, which is the greatest blessing for us and our children." Guo Caiwei said softly.
All the girls also said sweetly: "Thank you for your hard work, husband."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "You have worked hard too. It is not easy for anyone. I can't help myself. I have been with you less and farther away in the past few years. Instead, I spend more than half of my time marching and fighting outside, which makes you scared and moved around, and I feel sad in my heart.
I have been uneasy since then. Now that the situation has been settled, I can finally stabilize. From now on
, I don’t have to go out and work hard, we can enjoy some family happiness. Once we are settled, we will have ten or eight more children, so that my Lin family will be prosperous. Hahaha."
The girls were very moved at first, but their faces turned red when they heard the last sentence. From now on, if the whole family can get along day and night and be reunited in one place, their life will be wonderful, and everyone's heart will be filled with sweetness. Everyone raised their glasses and drank.
All.
"It's rare that our whole family is reunited like this today. I hope we can have this day every year, and this time every year, the flowers will always be beautiful, people will always be around, and the moon will be round." Fang Huanqiu said with emotion.
Lin Jue nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
"Hey, it would be perfect if that Miss Mingyue could abandon everything and bring nephew Lin Nian here to reunite." Bai Bing sighed.
The girls looked at Bai Bing speechlessly. Bai Bing had no city in his chest and was outspoken. It was a bit embarrassing to say this at this time. Although the matter of Wan Yan Mingyue had been informed to everyone in the family through family letters a few days ago, everyone was still confused.
I knew it was not appropriate to mention this matter, otherwise my husband would definitely be unhappy. Unexpectedly, Bai Bing said it so straightforwardly.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "When the moon is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose. Nothing in this world is perfect. Needless to say, come here, eat food, eat food, drink wine."
Everyone calmed down and drank and ate with Lin Jue, chatting, and it was quite lively. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the little princess suddenly said: "Oh, there is a dish I forgot to serve.
That’s a great dish to go with wine.”
When everyone was confused, they saw Guo Caiwei going out in person. Soon after, she came in with a bowl of dishes and placed it in front of Lin Jue. Lin Jue took a look and was overjoyed. It turned out to be a large plate of blue crabs, with a strong aroma.
of alcohol.
Crab-eating was a fashionable dish in Dazhou, but it was a high-end dish that ordinary people could not afford. This dish was a must-have for scribes’ banquets, and crab-eating also had a special set of eating methods and tools in Dazhou. When Dazhou was prosperous,
, this thing was once a business. Scholars and officials brought a set of silver utensils for eating crabs when they had banquets. During the banquet, they had to compare the integrity of the crab shells and legs to show their elegance. Naturally, they were also better than crabs.
Comparing whose silverware is more exquisite is actually just boring stuff. Lin Jue likes to eat crabs, simply because crabs taste good. Crab roe is delicious, crab meat is delicious, and its nutritional value is high. And in these days, it can
Crab is one of the dishes that tastes the same as that of later generations. Because it does not require too much seasoning. In this era when seasonings are incomparable to those of later generations, the taste of crab is exactly the same as that of later generations.
However, the crab in front of me is not steamed, it looks like a drunken crab.
Sure enough, Guo Caiwei said softly: "This is Drunken Crab, Fan Lou's latest way to eat it. It is said to be extremely delicious. Someone... asked me to buy some from Fan Lou today and give it to my husband to taste."
All the girls were very strange. Guo Caiwei said that someone asked her to buy a plate of food for her husband to eat, but they didn't know about it at all. Moreover, this man was also very strange. He actually gave someone a plate of food to eat. I don't know what he meant.
.It’s either a treat or a gift, but there’s no way to give a plate of food.
"The drunken crab is indeed quite famous. It is said that it is extremely expensive. It is cooked with top-quality sake. The crab is also a blue crab that is only produced on the southern coast. Both are extremely expensive and ordinary people can never afford it. Who gave this to me?
This plate of delicious food? This plate of drunken crab must be worth at least ten taels of silver.
"Lvwu said softly.
"Who gave me this dish? It's very generous, but also strange." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Guo Caiwei did not answer, but looked at Lin Jue quietly, looking slightly embarrassed.
Lin Jue looked at the plate of crabs, frowned and murmured: "Drunken crab, drunken crab! Well... I know who sent this dish."
Guo Caiwei was shaken and said softly: "Did your husband really guess it? Do you know the intention of the food delivery person?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "It's very simple and direct. There's nothing difficult to guess. I think it's close to ten. You can take this plate of crabs. I'd rather eat home-cooked food. I can't afford such an expensive dish."
Blessings are passed away.”
Guo Caiwei's expression changed drastically, her face became depressed, and she whispered: "It seems...it doesn't seem to be to my husband's taste."
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "That's not true, I just don't like this way of eating. It's too cruel to drink live crabs to death. If you want to kill them, you can kill them happily, but there is no need to torture them like this. As for the food delivery man
I understand what you are thinking, but... you can't just rely on a dish, but listen to what he says and watch his actions. Caiwei, I want to talk to you alone after dinner. Let's talk about it then. "
Guo Caiwei's eyes were already disappointed, but hearing the words sparked a fire of hope again. She nodded repeatedly, and there was a little mist in her eyes, so she hurriedly found an excuse to leave the table and tidy up.
After Guo Caiwei left, the girls were confused and didn't know what riddle Lin Jue and Guo Caiwei were playing.
"Who gave me this plate of drunken crabs? How do you know who it is? Is it possible that they have a tacit understanding?" Gao Muqing said.
"Yes, who is it? Why don't you, husband, eat such a good big crab?" Qian Qian Pu said, fanning her big eyes.
Lin Jue smiled and did not answer. Fang Huanqiu was thoughtful and suddenly said: "I know who it is, that's it."
"Who is it? Who is it? Sister Huanqiu, tell me quickly. I'm so worried." Gao Muqing shouted.
Fang Huanqiu looked at Lin Juexiao and said, "Can you tell me?"
Lin Jue drank a cup alone and said in a deep voice: "Is there anything I can't say?"
Fang Huanqiu nodded and whispered to the expectant girls: "It's very simple. What kind of dish is this?"
"Drunk crab, do you still need to ask?" Qianqian said.
"Drunk crab, drunk crab. What does it mean if you read it backwards?" Fang Huanqiu said.
"Drunken Crab... apologize! Ah! Apologize." Lu Wu called out softly.
"Yes, who wants to apologize to her husband? And through the hands of Sister Caiwei? Isn't it self-evident? Who stabbed her husband in the back after he left? When my husband came back and wanted to settle the score with him, he was frightened to death and came quickly.
I need to take a breath. Hum, my husband is right not to eat. This man is ungrateful and cannot be forgiven." Fang Huanqiu said in a deep voice.
The girls suddenly realized and understood. This must be a trick by Guo Kun and his son to ask Guo Caiwei to apologize to Lin Jue and plead for mercy.
"Yes, you can't eat it. Who knows if there is poison in this crab?" Qianqian shouted.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Wu quickly stopped Qianqian's nonsense. Qianqian also realized that she had made a mistake and quickly covered her mouth.
In the corridor behind the hall, Guo Caiwei, who had regained her mood and was coming into the hall, happened to hear Qianqian's words. She was stunned and stood there holding on to the pillar, losing the strength to even walk.
