From wilderness to palace

Chapter 183 Don't open your mouth!

The two old men who had just visited Kaoshantun looked at the meals that Liu Yaozu and Qin Zixuan brought to the table one after another, and felt that although these meals were not luxurious, the aroma was very attractive.For them, this kind of home-cooked food makes them like it more.

What made the two old men feel warm the most was the scene where everyone sat around a table with the Eight Immortals for dinner.When Ma Zhongcheng saw the animal bone wine brought by Liu Yaozu, his eyes narrowed and he said bluntly that he would drink two more glasses tonight.

As a result, Liu Yaozu also said very simply: "Old man, it's not that I'm stingy, but that you can only drink one cup of this wine tonight. This animal bone wine is a real old wine. Although the strength of the wine has softened a lot, the medicinal power is still strong. full.

To drink this kind of medicinal wine, it is better to drink as much as possible.It's not that I'm stingy, but that I bought this wine from others with great difficulty.Since you have been drinking it for a long time, you should know how effective this wine is, right? "

"Yeah! Indeed, I remember drinking once at a fellow villager's house when I was young, and I couldn't sleep all night. Okay, then I'll be a waiter!"

The assistant who followed the two old men really wanted to stand up and stop Liu Yaozu when he saw Liu Yaozu approaching with the wine jar.Fortunately, after hearing Liu Yaozu's words, they also heaved a sigh of relief, and finally sat down with peace of mind.

As assistants, they not only have to solve some problems encountered by the two old men, but also care about their physical condition at all times.Being able to enjoy such treatment is enough to show how much the two old men are valued by the higher authorities.

In contrast, Xiao Fen's three siblings, who had already drank once yesterday, also knew that this wine was really good.Even Xiao Fen, who doesn't usually drink much, after drinking this animal bone wine, feels warm and comfortable in her belly when she rests at night.

As for Xiao Cheng's words, I understand why Li Xingcheng can't forget this wine after drinking it!
When he was full of wine and food, Hu Xinming also said with emotion: "It seems that I have time in the future, I really want to go out more. I stay in the imperial capital every day, and I feel that the food is not good. Azu, you really have no cooking skills. talk!"

"Just as long as you're satisfied! I'm worried that you won't be used to eating just some common meals!"

"Then! I'm your age. When I was studying in the imperial capital, I sometimes served steamed buns cold and open. Isn't it delicious? In my opinion, delicacies from mountains and seas really don't taste as good as this kind of everyday food."

As soon as his words fell, Ma Zhongcheng also smiled and said: "Azu, you and I, Grandpa Hu, are people who have experienced hardships. For us, it is enough to have enough meals for three meals a day. Besides, your so-called daily meals , it’s not easy!”

As Ma Zhongcheng said, the two seemed very satisfied with Liu Yaozu's cooking skills and hospitality.Even when they were famous, they had been entertained by other people's delicacies.But in their opinion, this kind of food tastes more delicious and more at ease.

Regarding cleaning up the dishes, Ma Zhongcheng originally wanted the assistants to help him, but Liu Yaozu still shook his head and said, "That's not possible! They are your assistants, but they are my guests. When guests come to the door, how about asking them to help wash the dishes? "

Faced with Liu Yaozu's insistence, Ma Zhongcheng finally stopped being reluctant.On the contrary, Qin Zixuan followed her into the kitchen without her mother's orders at all.Seeing this scene, Xiao Fen and the two sisters also felt that this girl was really tempted.

But what they didn't know was that even if Qin Zixuan came into the kitchen to help, Liu Yaozu didn't ask her to help wash the dishes. Instead, he just asked her to clean the washed dishes under warm water.Naturally, she would not refuse Liu Yaozu's care.

After cleaning the kitchen, Liu Yaozu returned to the living room, and quickly led the two old people into his study.Qin Zixuan, on the other hand, was called back to the room by her mother and aunt.Seeing the looks in the eyes of the two elders, Qin Zixuan also felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, she suddenly became calm again when she thought of something.Even if her love comes too soon, Qin Zixuan also knows that after the Chinese New Year, she will be 22 years old and a second-level graduate student. Isn't it normal to fall in love?

If you really have to wait until she graduates from graduate school before thinking about love or marriage, the family members will probably be worried, right?After all, as the youngest child in the family, her eldest brother's children can now make soy sauce!
Listening to her mother's question, Qin Zixuan also nodded honestly: "Mom, brother Azu and I have just confirmed our relationship. As for the future, we don't think too far. What he means is that we hope to get along for a while before we talk about it."

"Uh, is that kid still so noble? Doesn't even look down on my Xiaoxuan? It shouldn't be!"

Faced with Xiao Fei's teasing, Qin Zixuan could only blushed and said: "Auntie, he didn't actually mean that. In fact, that guy is relatively slow in this respect, no different from Mu Mu. If I hadn't taken the initiative, he would definitely won’t express your thoughts.”

"Yo! Yo! Yo, sister, listen, it seems that our baby took the initiative in this matter!"

"Auntie!"

Qin Zixuan, who was teased, also felt her face was very hot.Fortunately, Xiao Fen said calmly: "Xiaoxuan, do you really like him? Although I met Azu for the first time, I can still see that this is a reassuring child.

Of course, as my daughter, I know what kind of temper you have.What I want to tell you is, have you really thought clearly about dealing with this relationship?Although I want to repay my teacher's kindness, I don't want to catch up with you, understand? "

Hearing what her mother said, Qin Zixuan froze for a moment, but quickly shook her head and said, "Mom, I didn't make this decision because of gratitude. How should I put it? Although there are always suitors around me, I really like those people." Not eye-catching.

To be precise, even if I patiently get along with them, I still find it difficult to find common topics.But Brother Azu is different. Although he doesn't talk much, he really takes care of people a lot of the time.I feel like I can learn a lot from being with him.

Most importantly, there is a sense of security around him.What's more, he feels like a mystery to me. You don't know what else he will do.In terms of ancient music, I think he is better and more talented than me. "

After Qin Zixuan said these words, Xiao Fen finally understood why her daughter fell in love with Liu Yaozu.From the perspective of others, since her daughter was born, she was sheltered by the Qin family, so there was no need to worry about food and clothing.

But as a mother, Xiao Fen knew that her daughter's seemingly cold heart actually did not feel safe.The reason may have a lot to do with the fact that she was almost abducted when she was a child.After that incident, her personality changed a lot.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fen found that Liu Yaozu, who seemed to be a loner, might have experienced too many hardships, which made him mature and stable beyond his age.Isn't it normal for my daughter to be tempted by him a few times in contact with him?
Knowing that her daughter and Liu Yaozu had confirmed their love relationship, Xiao Fen did not stop her like other mothers, instead she said earnestly: "Xiaoxuan, although I don't know why you are tempted by Azu, but I hope that you will can be taken seriously.”

"Mom, you know my personality. Do you look at me like that kind of girl?"

"It's not that Mom doesn't believe you, but I want you to be clear about one thing. As far as Azu's character is concerned, he may be very calm and calm. But I believe that he should be very sensitive in his heart. You also know why he And leave the imperial capital.

Although I don't know what will happen to you in the future.But I hope you can take this relationship seriously.If one day in the future, you can really step into the palace of marriage, then I believe that you will also become a pair of enviable fairy couples. "

"Yes, I will! This is my first love!"

While Qin Zixuan was being questioned and experienced by her mother and aunt, Liu Yaozu, who had just confirmed her relationship with her in the kitchen, was chatting with two visiting old men.As for Xiao Cheng, he could only be a listener, listening to the conversation of the three of them.

Not long after hearing this, as Hu Xinming took out a book from the bookshelf, he became energetic instantly and asked quickly: "Azu, is this the book left by your grandfather? This book is the complete volume. ?"

Seeing that Hu Xinming was so excited, Ma Zhongcheng also asked curiously: "Lao Liu, what book makes you so excited?"

"This is the Yongle Encyclopedia, an isolated history book of the Ming Dynasty. As far as I know, there are not many copies of the original in the libraries of major universities in China, even the National Library. But I know that there was a whole set in the collection of my elder brother's family back then.

Not to mention this volume of the Yongle Canon, but those books that the Liu family treasured back then, and those who were lucky enough to read them, didn't they regret it?You know, the fire didn't burn the Liu family, but the ancient books that the Liu family had collected for many years! "

After Hu Xinming said these words, both Ma Zhongcheng and Xiao Cheng knew that these books recording ancient history were no longer simple antiques, but real historical documents.The Yongle Grand Ceremony represents the cultural essence of the Ming Dynasty.

Just as Qin Zixuan was so surprised when she read these books before, as an expert and professor majoring in sociology, Hu Xinming is also aware of the importance of history.As the saying goes, forgetting history means betrayal!
Facing the expectant eyes of the three, Liu Yaozu also nodded and said: "These books are all ancient texts collected by my grandfather. I read many of them when I was a child. These books in the study room are only part of my grandfather's collection.

Although I am not very interested in historiography, I have read a lot of these books, and I can learn something from some history books.But what I need to explain is that these books belong to my grandfather, so naturally they belong to me now.

And I have thought that when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom next year, I will build a book library in the village to collect and preserve the documents and classics left by my grandfather.You can transcribe it, but originally I wouldn't donate it. "

Knowing the importance of these historical books and ancient books, Liu Yaozu directly said that he would not donate books.Although I don't know how my grandfather transferred these books from the imperial capital to Kaoshantun for preservation.

But as his grandson, he will definitely not hand over the cultural wealth of the "Historical Liu Family" easily.Still the same sentence, do something, don't do something.Transcribe, all comers are welcome.Donate without opening your mouth!
