[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

There was a plate of tofu skin buns, a plate of fresh and bright yellow crow's beak, a plate of Xishi tongue, and a few cups of bird's nest, white fungus and lily soup on the table.

It's not that the three of Sanchun haven't eaten such delicacies, but unless they pay their own money and ask the kitchen women to cook them, they generally can't eat them. After all, these girls have a fixed number of meals every day. of.

Moreover, the three of them are either concubine daughters or from Ningguo Mansion, and the kitchen usually treats them well on the surface. It is impossible to think how good they are.

"Third Sister, did you ask the kitchen to make this?" Yingchun frowned slightly, thinking that it would not be enough to buy these delicious dishes without a tael of silver.

Tanchun shook his head in confusion, "No."

Since it wasn't Tanchun who asked the kitchen to make another one, what's going on?

The three of them turned their attention to Shi Shu.

The waiter hurriedly said: "Girls, where did a servant girl get the money to buy such good things? These are given by Aunt Liu in the kitchen to the servants, saying that they are specially for the girls to try. If you like it, go Tell her if you want to eat later."

Yingchun and Xichun naturally wouldn't think that Mrs. Liu sent these delicious dishes to them, it was clearly for Tanchun.

Tanchun was puzzled, what kind of person is Mrs. Liu, they also know that she is a person who is open to money and pushes high and tramples low. They have to wait for a long time for what they want to eat after spending money. When did they rush to support people in such a hurry?

"Forget it, since it's all here, let's take advantage of it." Tanchun smiled and pulled Yingchun and Xichun to sit down, and then ordered the servant to take the broken silver and send it.

I have to say that although Mrs. Liu is not a good character, her craftsmanship is full of praise.

The bean curd buns are as tender as milk and as thin as paper, after biting one bite, you will feel that your mouth is full of fragrance, even dragon liver and phoenix marrow can't compete with this bun, and the crow's mouth is even more reluctant to touch your chopsticks. This crow's beak is taken from the part of the top of the water spinach leaf that looks like a crow's beak. It takes more than a dozen catties of water spinach to make up such a small plate, but it is just a little bit of oil and a little frying, without any damage to itself. fresh.

After a few chopsticks came down, even Xichun, who never cared much about her appetite, twitched her index finger.

After breakfast, the waiter came late.

"Miss." The servant looked at Tanchun hesitantly, "Aunt Liu doesn't accept money."

"This is really a rare thing." Xichun said, "Aunt Liu actually has a day when she doesn't accept money."

Tanchun became more and more puzzled, "Why didn't she accept the money? But you didn't talk properly?"

The waiter shook his head, "After the servant left, he thanked her first and then gave the money, but Mrs. Liu refused to accept it, and said that if she gave her the money, she would look down on her. The servant saw that there was no way, Just came back."

Xichun and the others looked at each other in surprise, and Aunt Liu actually said such words!I'm afraid it's going to rain red!

There was a hesitant expression on the servant's face, and he opened his mouth, "Girl, this servant probably knows why Mrs. Liu would say such a thing."

When she heard this just now, she was so surprised that she could hardly believe what she heard, but from the flattering words Aunt Liu said, the servant could somewhat guess the reason.

Tan Chun said: "Then why don't you say it quickly, you girl has also learned to wow people."

Seeing that Tanchun seemed anxious, the waiter hurriedly said: "The servant is just guessing, I don't know whether it is true or not. The reason why Aunt Liu's attitude is probably because of the third master."

Ring?

What does this have to do with him?

Tanchun didn't understand, his beautiful eyes were full of doubts, and his brows were slightly frowned, "What's going on? You start from the beginning."

Yingchun and Xichun also accompanied Tanchun and became worried, but after hearing the news from the waiter, they felt strange in their hearts. Huan'er and Tanchun are brothers and sisters of the same mother. Now that his son's future is hopeful, and with just a few words, he beat butler Lai so badly that he could hardly stand up. The servants in the mansion saw it, so naturally they didn't dare to offend Tanchun, and it was too late to even flatter him.

Aunt Liu's hospitality is a good example.

Tanchun clenched the handkerchief in her hand, a warm feeling came up in her heart, when Jia Huan couldn't get rid of Lai Da, he just picked today when he went to the palace, his idea was to make an example of others, and now it is true It worked.

After Jia Huan's painstaking efforts, after Tan Chunming came over, she only felt a heat in her heart. She also noticed the change in the expressions of Yingchun and Xichun when she was happy, and she held Yingchun and Xichun's hands affectionately, "Second sister What happened to the fourth sister? Huan'er is now promising, and he definitely won't forget the second and fourth sisters, otherwise he wouldn't have asked someone to make those rabbit fur gloves."

Previously, when the prey arrived, Jia Huan made arrangements to send everything that should be given up and down the house. Sanchun and Daiyu gave two sets of rabbit fur gloves.

Yingchun and Xichun came to their senses, Huan'er had always treated the three of them equally, and they were just hurt by the scene for a while, and their thoughts went wrong. Now that they understand, both of them have smiles on their faces.

And this time.

In the upper study room, Jia Huan and others are facing an assessment that is beyond everyone's expectations.

Huo Ran, the head of the Imperial Academy, is explaining "The Great Learning" to several princes.

"The so-called extension of knowledge lies in the study of things. If you want to know what you want to know, it is only in the thing but its reason is exhausted. The spirit of the human heart has knowledge, and all things in the world have reason. Only the reason has no end, so its knowledge is endless. Also, starting teaching with the "University" will surely make scholars become ordinary..."

Everyone below listened attentively, and no one was distracted.

Huo Ran was the No. [-] scholar in the second year of Jianming. After decades of entering the Imperial Academy, he reached the position of a master of the Academy. Naturally, his knowledge and talent are not to be picky. Even Jia Huan thinks that he speaks very well, explaining profound things in a simple way, and being persuasive. .

"Cough cough." A cough suddenly sounded outside the door.

Everyone was listening intently, when they heard the voice suddenly, their thoughts were interrupted and they couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

After seeing who was coming, everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

Jia Huan also saluted.

"Okay, let's get up." The Holy Master waved his hand, motioning everyone to get up.

Huo Ran was so excited that his hands trembled a little, as did the prince and companions below.

"Huo Qing's "University" is very good, and I have heard it too." The Holy One said to Huo Ran approvingly.

Huo Ran hurriedly knelt down, his face was flushed red, "I, what can I do to bear this praise."

The Holy Majesty laughed heartily, "What is there to take care of? Huo Qing is just too modest."

He also knows the temperament of civil servants like Huo Ran, no matter how happy he is in his heart, he still has to shirk a few times on the surface, but he didn't come this time to make a deal with Huo Ranxu.

The Holy Majesty's eyes swept over the faces of the people below, "I came this time to test you."

Huo Ran is no stranger to this. His Majesty has always been very concerned about the princes. From time to time, he will go to the upper study to test the knowledge of the princes. He has already figured it out when he came to the school today.

The princes were not nervous either, but the accompanying readers couldn't help but get nervous.

After all, the one who tested them was the king of a country.

"A few days ago, the governor of the capital gave a memorial. The thief who robbed the Yellow River's disaster relief money has fled to the capital. This person is highly skilled in martial arts and cunning like a wolf. Up to now, he has not been caught. I thought, All of you are the pillars of the country, if you leave this matter to you, if anyone catches the thief, I can grant that person a request." The Holy One said.

As soon as he said a word, all the people below felt their hearts beating like a drum, beating non-stop.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Everyone began to think about how to catch the thief in their hearts.

Jia Huan didn't know much about what happened in the capital, but after thinking about it carefully, it might not be that easy. After all, even so many yamen servants under the prefect of Kyoto failed to catch the thief, which shows that the thief is indeed very cunning.

However, just because of what His Majesty said, Jia Huan did not intend to give up on this matter.

The saint came in less than a cup of tea, and left everyone's minds in a mess.

The princes are envious of that condition, let alone the other companions.

With His Majesty's words, if you want an official position, or something else, you can easily overcome the decades of hard work of others.

All of a sudden, everyone was not in the mood to study.

Huo Ran was not a pedant, so he simply waved his hand and left time for them to think about it, and went out to drink tea.

As soon as he went out on his front feet, the study room became lively behind him.

Song Zhi and others have already discussed it.

Among Tu Hengwen's accompanying readers, Song Zhi's status is the highest, and his performance in the hunt this time also made other people willingly let him be on top of them. There is no other reason. Song Zhi's strategy is indeed impressive. Admire.

"Your Highness Seventh, let's ask Brother Song to find a way. With Brother Song's good idea, it's not difficult to find that person." Feng Yuandao, the third son of Feng Zhenghua, Minister of Industry, said flatteringly.

Song Zhi waved his hand modestly, "Brother Feng, you are joking, everyone here is such a smart person, my little scheme is nothing more than trickery." Even though he said so, Song Zhi began to think What method can be used to find the thief.

Jia Baoyu was absent-minded, he knew himself very well, and he had no experience in finding someone.

Gu Chuzhi sat beside Jia Huan, chatting up Jia Huan in a low voice.

He was asking Jia Huan which school of Kungfu he learned, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, or the Mountain Opening Palm?

The corner of Jia Huan's mouth twitched, and he was about to ask him where he got these things from.

But Ji Liang suddenly said: "When it comes to stratagems, I'm afraid Brother Jia is the wiser one."
