Chapter 43 The Good Brother (2)
At the water's edge, I looked up at Ziqing catching fish, but Ziqing couldn't catch the fish at all. The fry were too small, so they swam away with a "swish" and shook their heads in protest.
Ziqing was sweating profusely. It was a big autumn day, his clothes were soaked, and he was clinging to his neck tightly. He was scratching angrily when he suddenly felt something touch his neck. Ziqing's neck was more sensitive. In addition, he was a person with a sense of crisis, how could someone touch his neck, he was startled, and he waved his hands violently to strike him down.
"Crack!" With a sound, Cao GUI hastily stretched out his hand and smiled, "Seeing that you are so tired from catching fish, I kindly wiped your sweat for you. How can you repay your kindness?"
Ziqing saw that Cao GUI hadn't left yet, so he must be playing tricks on him again, so he didn't speak, and turned his head to ignore him, ready to let Cao GUI retreat.
Cao GUI still didn't leave, and said with a smile: "I tell you, in fact, if you want to catch fish, you don't have to catch this small seedling. If you catch such a small fish, you won't be able to eat it. If you have a big fish, you can't wait to catch it."
After hearing this, Ziqing said suspiciously, "Where are the big fish?"
Cao GUI has always lived in the deep mountains, Ziqing thought, he might be much better at catching fish than himself.
Cao GUI, on the other hand, smiled and put his arms around his chest, making a haughty look. Once he became haughty, he really looked decent, and he really had the feeling of a scholar-bureaucrat.
I heard Cao GUI say with a smile: "That's it, you call me good brother, and I will tell you where there are big fish."
Ziqing said: "You, a Chinese doctor, actually bullied me, a boy, how shameless you are?"
Cao GUI was not angry either. He touched his chin and said with a smile, "That's weird. I'm a Chinese doctor. If I don't bully you, a kid, why don't I still bully the doctor? Isn't it just for fun? "
When Ziqing heard this, he stomped his feet angrily and said, "You...you rascal!"
Cao GUI said again: "Besides, I'm older than you, so it's not too much for you to call me a good brother. If you call me, you can do business. If you don't call me, you can go. You can catch the young fish by yourself. "
As Cao GUI said, he turned around decisively and wanted to leave. Ziqing chased after him two steps quickly and said, "Wait a minute."
Cao GUI said, "What? Let me wait and ask me to bully you?"
Ziqing's face turned blue, and he said, "You really can catch big fish?"
Cao GUI smiled, turned around, folded his arms and said, "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?"
Ziqing's face changed several times as he listened, he lowered his head, murmured his lips several times, and said in a low voice, "Okay...okay..."
His voice was too low, Cao GUI only heard one good word, but he was already laughing and said, "What a good boy, come on, my good brother will teach you how to catch fish."
As he spoke, he lifted up his official robe, tucked it in his belt, and rolled up his arms, looking decent.
Wu Jiao waited for a long time, then saw Ziqing coming over with a small jar in his arms, Wu Jiao looked over, good guy, four or five alive and kicking catfish.
No wonder Ziqing couldn’t find big fish, because catfish are called soil catfish, and they usually grow on the edge of river ditches, in grass or under stones, hide during the day, don’t swim in the water, and only appear at night, so Ziqing catches them so The fish could not be caught, so Cao GUI pulled out the stones on the water's edge, revealing several big catfish, and Ziqing caught a few small ones.
No wonder Yi Ya said that there is no fish in the water at this time, and the catfish is very dirty, so it is difficult to clean it up. In Shandong, carp is delicious, so Yi Ya uses delicious carp when making fish belly and hiding mutton. , although the catfish has few thorns, but the meat is not tender, not only old, but also has an earthy smell, and is not easy to take care of. In addition, the appearance of the earth catfish is like a monster. In ancient times, it was the prototype of the legend of the river monster. Naturally No one eats it.
When Wu Jiu saw the earth catfish, he was very happy for a moment. Isn't this a kind of grilled fish? It's cheap and has few spines. Those grilled Qingjiang fish that are very popular in the modern market are actually a kind of catfish.
Wu Jiu was very happy when he saw the catfish, and praised Ziqing a few times, Ziqing is inexplicable, these fish are so ugly, how can you be so happy?
Wu Jiu hugged the small jar, which was still quite heavy, and walked towards the dining room with a smile. He was going to clean up the catfish first, and then cook grilled fish.
Yi Ya was preparing lunch in the simple dining room he built, and Gongsun Xipeng was there. When Wu Jiu entered, Gongsun Xipeng was talking to Yi Ya. Seeing Wu Jiu's face full of surprise, he quickly saluted and said : "Young master."
Wu Jiao was a little strange, why did Gongsun Xipeng come running over, but when he saw his eyes lit up, Gongsun Xipeng felt a chill down his back, as if he had been calculated, and he really didn't dare to look Wu Jiao's eyes directly. "Tigers and tigers are powerful", so scary.
Then I heard Wu Jiu say with a smile: "Brother Xi Peng, are you free now?"
Wu Jiu always called Gongsun Xipeng the chief executive, but he suddenly called him brother Xipeng, which made Gongsun Xipeng a little flattered, and said: "If you are free, please tell me what you need, my lord."
Wu Jiu put the big jar, "Kuang!", put it on the stove, and said with a smile, "I don't know how Xipeng's knife skills are."
Knife skills?
Gongsun Xipeng is a veteran on the battlefield, so it goes without saying that he is skilled in swordsmanship.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Wu Jiao smiled and said, "Brother Xipeng, please help kill the fish!"
kill fish?
It’s like this, kill fish with Gongsun Xipeng’s superb knife skills, because Wu Jiu doesn’t like handling fish the most, on the one hand, he really doesn’t dare to kill, and in the past, he would buy the ones that have been slaughtered in the supermarket and let him do it himself Wu Jiu really didn't dare, secondly, he didn't have much experience, the fish was alive and kicking, so it would be easy for Gongsun Xipeng to play with it.
Gongsun Xipeng was stunned for a moment, but of course he would not refuse, after all, it was just a small matter of killing fish, so he immediately took off his black armor, changed into casual clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and started to help kill fish .
Yi Ya saw a bunch of earth catfish brought by Wu Jiu, he couldn't help but said strangely: "My lord, this fish smells too earthy, and it's ugly and dirty. It tastes very bad. How did you get so many earth catfish?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Otherwise, although it is a bit ugly, as long as it is cooked properly, the meat will be delicious."
After so many years of preparing food for easy teeth, no one can match it, but I didn't expect any method of preparing food to make the meat of the earth catfish more delicious.
Of course, Yi Ya couldn’t think of it, because the grilled catfish tastes delicious, firstly, because the earth catfish has few thorns, it is convenient to eat, and is suitable for lazy people; The third reason is that the earth catfish must be grilled with a heavy taste. The salty, salty and spicy characteristics of the grilled fish can completely cover up the earthy smell of the earth catfish. The shortcomings of tenderness and lack of delicious meat will also be covered up. If you use that kind of fish that is too good, it will be ruined instead.
When Gongsun Xipeng was killing the fish, Wu Jiao took out the grilled fish condiments he had prepared in the tent, put them on the stove, and mixed several condiments together. , exudes a different taste, a total of five fish, exactly five flavors.
Spicy, hot and sour, sauce, curry, and Kung Pao chicken...
No matter how long Ziqing caught the fish, Wu Jiao chose the seasonings for as long as he had. The spicy and sour ones are fine. Although there is no chili these days, there are also spicy seasonings that can replace chili, and the curry is quite spicy. For the sake of effort, there is no ready-made curry, and it needs to be prepared with a variety of ingredients.
Wu Jiu made curry himself before, but the ingredients in this era are different from those in modern times, and the taste is also different, so it took a long time to prepare it.
The last Kung Pao Chicken flavor was purely used by Wu Jiao to make up the numbers...
After Gongsun Xipeng killed the fish, Wu Jiu scratched the fish with a flower knife, and then spread the five kinds of condiments on the five fish, carefully coating them inside and out, marinated for a while to taste, and then let them Man prepares to burn oil.
Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the level of oil used by nobles has been greatly improved. Although there is no awareness of using oil among the common people, different oils are still used in different seasons among the nobles, such as lard, tallow and deer oil. And vegetable oil.
Wu Jiao poured oil into the cauldron, put the five fishes into the pan and deep-fried them separately. on the baking sheet.
Put five fishes on five large baking trays, and soon the five fishes sizzled on the grilling trays. The grilled ones were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and with the smell of spices, the aroma was all overwhelmed by roasting in an instant. When it came out, it smelled so fragrant that it couldn't be blown away by the wind, but it spread farther.
Wu Jiao waited for a while, and then added the necessary dishes for the grilled fish. He just turned the grilled fish over, and then put the grilled fish bottom dishes such as mushrooms on the bottom. The unique aroma of grilling on a plate was instantly forced out.
The simple dining room was full of aromas, and the cooks next to them were all amazed. Soon the smell in the dining room could not be held back, and it spread all over the place. Even Qihou's tent could smell the smell of rice. He couldn't help getting up and coming out to have a look, he thought it was Yi Ya who was thinking of ways to cook again.
Qihou came out, followed the scent and prepared to take a look. As soon as he entered the dining room, he saw Wu Jiu wearing a bright purple silk dress, with his sleeves rolled up and his hem tucked into his belt. But when Wu Jiu did it, it was surprisingly not ugly.
Not only is it not ugly, the silk clothes are too slippery, because Wu Jiu was turning over a fish, the silk clothes on one shoulder suddenly slipped off and hung on the crook of his arm.
I don't understand a word.
Qihou walked in, and the cooks next to him were busy, but he didn't notice it for a while, but Wu Jiao felt that the back of his head was about to be stared at. When he looked back, he was shocked, and it was Qihou who came in. He hurriedly pulled his hem out of his belt and put down his sleeves, only to see that the clothes had slipped to the crook of his arms, so he quickly pulled them up and put them on, cupped his hands and said, "See you, Your Majesty."
After Wu Jiu said this, other people woke up from their dreams and rushed to see Marquis Qi.
Qihou waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be formal, what is this doing, it is really fragrant."
Wu Jiu said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's grilled fish."
Qihou laughed and said, "Grilled fish? I have eaten grilled fish too, but it doesn't taste like you."
Qihou naturally ate a lot of grilled fish. When he fled, sometimes he ate grilled fish, but they were all fish that were caught, and they were grilled directly on the fire. If there was no salt, they would not paint anything. How could that be possible? tasty?
The most delicious fish that Qihou has ever eaten is the hidden mutton in the belly of Yi Ya. He never knew that grilled fish can be so delicious.
Qi Hou couldn't wait to taste it, and said with a smile, "Can I eat it?"
Seeing that Qi Hou's temper improved a bit, Wu Jiao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that Qi Hou is also a foodie, and he would be in a good mood if he had delicious food.
Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Since it is about to be baked, please move forward, Jiu will present the delicious food."
Qi Hou turned and went out, Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly asked someone to help carry the fish out, the grilled fish didn't have to be taken off the iron plate, but continued to be heated and delicious.
Qihou did not return to the tent, but asked someone to put the grilled fish directly beside the water. The other end of the water was Lu Jun. The smell of the grilled fish was extremely strong and overbearing, and it floated directly along the wind, and could smell it clearly clearly.
The soldiers of Lu were pulling up their military postures one by one, but Marquis Qi put the grilled fish here for lunch. The army of Lu on the opposite side was able to support at first, but then they couldn't hold it anymore, and the formation was messed up. Father Qing He rushed out from the shogunate and yelled at him, only then did he stop the messy Lu team.
Qi Hou is quite proud of this, five fishes messed up Tie Zhengzheng's square team, Qi Hou was in a good mood, and forgot about the embarrassing thing of being thrown by the princess in the morning, he said in a good mood: "Second brother, please sit."
Wu Jiu sat down at the table, and laid out five grilled fish one by one. Each grilled fish has its own characteristics. Like spring flowers, the colors are gorgeous and beautiful.
Qihou used his chopsticks to gently push aside the red, green and green vegetables on top, and caught a piece of fish meat. The fish skin was burnt and fragrant, full of toughness, the fish meat was fat and tender, without thorns, and there was a unique aroma of roasting in the mouth. , the scent is as domineering as it smells, salty and spicy, with a strong taste, but it retains the umami taste of the fish, the earthy smell and the problem of fish meat are completely covered up, Qihou didn't even know that it was earth catfish.
Qi Hou ate a piece and was really amazed. Because Wu Jiao also considered Qi Hou's taste, he naturally wanted to flatter him with delicious food. The taste of the grilled fish was just in line with Qi Hou's taste.
After eating the fish with three chopsticks, Qihou was also surprised to find that there was a layer of vegetables under the belly of the fish, and there were many varieties, dazzling.
Qihou picked up a piece of mushroom. The mushroom contained a spicy soup. Because it was placed under the fish, one side was charred and the other side was smooth and tender. Qi Hou shivered, but the smell immediately fainted, it was indescribably enjoyable.
Wu Jiao sent a bowl of white rice and a stack of pancakes cut into rhombus shapes. The rice was served on the grilled fish, and the pancakes were put on the iron plate for boiling. Qi Hou was really surprised. The fish in the world can be so delicious.
Qihou was happy to eat, he ate several bites in a row, and then went to the fish next to him. Qihou also liked the hot and sour fish, after all he likes to eat sour, and after that, it is sauce-flavored, not spicy. It seems almost domineering, Qihou is domineering, and his taste is also quite domineering, he seems to like the spicy one more.
Look at the fourth fish, there are also red, green and green dishes on it, but the whole fish is covered with a layer of golden "quilt". I don't know what it is, but Qi Hou has never seen such a color of sauce.
Qihou said: "What is the name of Huang Cencen's sauce?"
Wu Jiao smiled and said, "This is curry flavor."
"curry?"
Qihou had never heard of it before, so he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it tentatively. An indescribable overbearing aroma came straight to him. It is very thick, with a long and distant feeling, and all the added vegetables in it have become curry flavor, which is really strange, fresh, and tastes good.
The taste of curry is also very strong, and Qi Hou seems to like this taste very much. In the end, there is the weird Kung Pao chicken flavor made by Wu Jiao. It is not a pure Sichuan style, and a lot of stone honey is added in it. An improved version of sweet taste.
After one bite, the fish meat is salty and spicy first, then sweet and sour. The taste is strange and powerful, but it is unexpectedly delicious.
Marquis Qi liked the taste of the five fishes, and he liked it so much that he ordered someone to bring wine and set up a mat by the river for Wu Jiao to sit down and eat together. I also like spicy ones, and I like spicy ones the most, but my mouth will swell up if I eat too much, so I have to eat the sauce-flavored ones aggrievedly. In the end, he lay on Wu Jiu's lap and fell into a deep sleep.
Qihou took all the doctors on the other side of the river, drinking wine and eating fish, the smell of grilled fish was wafting, and the soldiers on the other side of the river stood in square formation. Tiao Yu, the soldiers of the State of Lu started the second riot, and soon Father Qing came out to scold him again.
When it was time to eat the fourth fish, the soldiers couldn't bear it any longer. They were hungry and wanted to eat, so Father Qing had to order the soldiers to retreat back to eat.
Because Qi Hou used five grilled fish to file the prestige of Lu State severely this day, so he was in a good mood, so he didn't care about Wang Ji's entrustment.
Qihou couldn't get enough of his food, he especially liked grilled fish, and he wanted to eat grilled fish at night, but it was hard to say, fortunately Wu Jiao has good eyesight, otherwise Qihou would have died of gluttony.
The day was spent eating, drinking and drinking like this, and there was nothing else to do, and soon went to rest. When he got up on the second morning, Wu Jiu thought that the princess should follow everyone on the road today, right?
As a result, Qihou and Wu Jiu took all the doctors and stood by the water for half an hour. Qihou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot of roasted fish, and only then did he see a car driving in the distance. .
But when he got closer, he saw that it was not the princess Wang Ji, but a maidservant, who jumped out of the chariot and said, "Meet Marquis Qi."
Seeing that there was only one maidservant, Qihou immediately turned darker, and said, "Well, what happened to the princess today?"
The maid said tremblingly: "Go back...to the Duke of Qi, the princess said...that the wind and sand were too strong today, the princess squinted her eyes because of the wind and sand, and she was afraid...that she would get a cough, so...that's why I can't go on the road today, let's talk about it tomorrow. "
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "I'm afraid the princess is not suffering from a cough, but a delicate disease!"
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves coldly, turned around and left.
Once Qihou got angry, he let Wu Jiao eat the grilled fish these two days. Although there is no shortage of such muddy catfish in the water, Wu Jiao was really afraid that he would get angry if he ate too much grilled fish, and his stomach would be full. The fire, plus the fire made by the princess, I'm afraid there is no place to spread it.
Sure enough, Qi Hou ate grilled fish for four meals for two days in a row, and in addition to the dry weather in autumn, he got angry early in the morning on the third day. itch.
Wu Jiu was not in a hurry to get up this morning. He hugged Xiao Di'er as a pillow, lay on the bed, rubbed against Xiao Di'er's fleshy belly, and shed Xiao Di'er's itchy tears. As soon as Ziqing came in , thinking that Wu Jiu bullied Xiao Di'er and made her cry.
Ziqing waited on Wu Jiu to put on his clothes, and Wu Jiao took his time and said, "It doesn't matter if you slow down, anyway, I won't be able to leave today anyway, the princess doesn't want to go to Linzi City, so she must find Zhe to complain about her illness."
Wu Jiu hadn't finished getting dressed when he heard someone say that the princess was really sick again today and couldn't go on the road. Can't hit the road.
When Wu Jiu heard it, he looked for it, and sure enough, he was looking for it again, molesting Qihou's endurance over and over again, even if the princess really sprained her ankle, she was a golden car, and the car was covered with thick rugs all the way. There is no need to walk because of the soft cushion. How could it be impossible to stop on the road because of a sprained ankle.
Wu Jiao didn't take it seriously, anyway, he was not in a hurry, as long as he was not allowed to be alone with the princess, the princess would do whatever she wanted.
After Wu Jiu put on his clothes, he saw the eunuch come in and said, "My lord, your honor."
Wu Jiu didn't know why Marquis Qi asked him to do it, but it was probably because of the princess' affairs, and there was nothing else beside the water at this time.
Wu Jiu hurriedly asked Zixi to wash up, put on his outer robe, and hurried to Qihou's tent, but Qihou was not in the tent, but in the shogunate.
Wu Jiu walked to the door, asked the eunuch to pass the message, and walked in quickly. Qihou's face was very ugly, sitting on the mat, wearing a black court robe, very majestic, setting off his tall and straight body, his back was straight, and he sat down. After that, the black court robe couldn't conceal the powerful muscles of his legs, outlining the lines of strength.
But Wu Jiu didn't pay attention to how tall and stalwart Qi Hou was. Once he walked in, Wu Jiu looked Qi Hou indifferently, and at the first sight he saw the big bubble on the corner of Qi Hou's mouth, as if he had an eggplant in his mouth. It also looks like a beauty from the Tang Dynasty, with two dots of soybean-sized noodles on her lips, while Qihou only nodded one side, which looks strangely tight.
Wu Jiao glanced at it, then quickly lowered his head, knowing that Marquis Qi must be a firefighter, and with his bad complexion, he might be a firecracker made by a black-hearted workshop.
Wu Jiu went in and bowed to Marquis Qi, Marquis Qi said indifferently, "Second brother, you know, what's the point of recruiting second brother alone?"
Wu Jiao just said respectfully: "Jiao dare not presume your majesty's will."
Hearing what he said so pleasantly, Marquis Qi sneered with a "huh" and said, "The princess is not going on the road again today."
Wu Jiao thought to himself, he had already heard the news, and as expected, Wang Ji had been embarrassing them from the very beginning, and he didn't know if it was because Wu Jiao didn't come to the appointment, or Wang Ji didn't want to marry the young master at all. No loss.
Logically speaking, Young Master Wu Kui has good looks and is the eldest son. His mother is Chang Wei Ji. No, it should be shortened to Wei Ji now, because Shao Wei Ji has been sent back to the Kingdom of Wei. His mother is noble, although He has not been conferred the title of wife yet, but Marquis Qi does not have a wife right now, so a son who has no losses is not considered a concubine, and he will be righted one day.
Moreover, Young Master Wu Kui is very accomplished, and he has made friends all over the world. I wish that every country has a scholar-bureaucrat who has good friends with him. Because of these, Young Master Wu Kui should be a potential stock. The daughters of all countries who have nothing to lose, have to line up to say goodbye.
Wu Jiu couldn't figure out why Wang Ji didn't want to marry the son without loss, could it be because of her own business?Wu Jiu’s body is already 30 years old. Although 30 years old is not too old for a man, he has just entered Erli, which is the age to show a big burden. Throughout history, Qin Huang, Han Wu, which one did not create the peak in the year of Erli However, Wu Jiu really didn't think that he, a quasi-uncle, was so attractive.
Wu Jiu didn't speak in silence, only to hear that Marquis Qi had something to say, and continued to say coldly: "The princess said, if you want to go on the road today, it's not impossible, but..."
He paused again, as if it was a blunt knife stuck on Wu Jiao's neck, Wu Jiao felt a kind of quiet murderous aura, and wanted to scrape it off one by one.
Qihou continued: "However, the princess's ankle is sprained and she can't walk or pedal the cart. If she wants to walk, she said that the second brother must carry the princess into the cart by himself."
When Wu Jiu heard this, Wang Ji was clearly embarrassing himself. Although there was no saying in this era that men and women could not kiss each other, and there was no saying that women could not go out and meet people, but Wang Ji was going to marry the son soon after all. Wu Jiu's nephew and daughter-in-law, if Wu Jiu cheated on Wang Ji, he would definitely be talked about by others.
After Qihou finished speaking, he said coolly, "What do you think, second brother?"
Wu Jiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I'm afraid Wang Ji is still a child at heart, just playing a joke for a while."
Qi Hou laughed "hehe", raised his hand, gently stroked the calluses on his palm, and said, "Wang Ji is very stubborn. For a day or two, Gu has no objection. After all, she is the princess of Zhou Guolai, so she should take care of her." , but today is already the third day, if we continue to delay like this, when will we be the boss? Can Second Brother have a solution? "
Wu Jiu listened for a long time, but Qi Hou was trying to force himself to find a solution, so he cupped his hands and said, "There is a solution, and it only needs a word from your majesty."
"Oh?"
Qihou narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"
Soon Wu Jiu strode out from the shogunate, and the Marquis of Qi ordered Wu Jiu to take Cao GUI with him, and spread a word in time.
In fact, Wu Jiu was also thinking, why did Marquis Qi choose to let him take Cao GUI there?It stands to reason that if you are tall and majestic, you will be elected as Gongsun Xipeng. Although Gongsun Xipeng is not dark-faced, but has a bronze skin, looks heroic and handsome, and has a full image of a tough guy. Face, reputation ring clank.
If it weren't for Gongsun Xipeng, he should have chosen Zhaohu. Although Zhaohu looked like a white-faced scholar, and his figure was slender and not heroic, Zhaohu had a great reputation, and he was famous all over the world when he was young.
Instead, he chose Cao GUI, who is not yet well-known. Cao GUI, as a doctor in the middle school, has a low rank. Penny personality.
In fact, Wu Jiu didn't know, because Marquis Qi was born again. When Chang Shao was defeated and the Lu National Alliance, it was Lu Gong who relied on the talent of Cao GUI to shame and embarrass himself unscrupulously, although there is no such thing as a defeat of Chang Shao , and there is no Lu National Alliance yet, Cao GUI is already a doctor of Qi State, it is impossible to embarrass him, but Qi Hou is narrow-minded, and has always "held grudges", finally found an opportunity, and naturally wanted to show off with Lu State Cao GUI.
Although this "show off" was only enjoyed by Marquis Qi, the Lu people had no idea what was going on, nor did they know who Cao GUI was.
Wu Jiu soon took Cao GUI with him, although Cao GUI was usually a little arrogant and unruly, but he never lost the chain in business.
Cao GUI quickly dressed neatly, held Wu Jiu's sword in his hand, jumped onto the chariot first, and then invited Wu Jiu to get on the chariot. Three chariots escorted Wu Jiu's chariot to the water, and soon reached the water's edge , ready to cross the water.
When Wang Ji heard that Wu Jiao was coming, she immediately became happy, and ran out of the camp quickly. Sure enough, she saw Wu Jiao from afar. Wu Jiao was dressed in purple silk clothes. It moves like a fairy.
Wang Ji ran out happily, and Qing's father also came out to watch the "lively", but in fact Wang Ji didn't want to marry, it was Qing's father's fault.
Duke Lu himself was unwilling to arrange this marriage. After all, he was the main marriage prince, but there was no benefit at all. Once the princess married into Qi State, it would increase the national power of Qi State, so Lu Gong specially ordered his elder brother to celebrate the marriage. Father came to make trouble.
Wang Ji was very happy to see Wu Jiao on the first day, but Wu Jiu didn't come to the appointment that night, which made Wang Ji very disappointed.
Wang Ji is a princess, and it's normal to be arrogant, so she was unhappy. At this time, Father Qing found an opportunity to interfere with the marriage, and secretly told Wang Ji that Young Master Wu Kui is a bastard, even if he is the eldest son, it is useless .
In fact, when he said these words, Qing's father felt as if his heart had been boiled. Qing's father knew better than anyone else that a concubine's eldest son was useless.
When Wang Ji heard that, the young master who had been promised in every possible way before was worthless, but he was so useless, she immediately didn't want to marry, and she couldn't forget Wu Jiu.
Father Qing provoked the princess again, saying that Wu Jiu was not good at all. He heard that Wu Jiu would play tricks on every occasion, and he liked male sex. Qihou suddenly treated Wu Jiao so well. He didn't kill Wu Jiu who was fighting for the throne, and even served him as a special envoy because of them. The relationship between them is ambiguous.
Wang Ji was taken aback, Wu Jiao turned out to be quite masculine, so she didn't like Young Master Wu Kui, and changed her mind about Wu Jiao, so she naturally found faults to delay the time to go on the road.
Father Qing had achieved his goal, and he was just happy, but he didn't expect Wu Jiao to come, and he wanted to come out to see how Wu Jiao was humiliated by the princess.
As a result, as soon as Father Qing came out, he saw Wu Jiao in a purple robe, with a haughty face and no trace of distress. The car slowly stopped in front of the big tent. The special envoy of the country is very polite, and Jiu Te was ordered by the widow to come to deliver a message."
When Wang Ji saw Wu Jiao, she really loved and hated her. She loved Wu Jiao's color, which really fascinated her, but she also hated Wu Jiao for being so masculine. If it wasn't like this, why didn't Wu Jiao come to propose marriage sooner?
Wang Ji looked at Wu Jiu and said, "Brother Jiu is here to carry me on the road?"
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "How could the princess have such a misunderstanding?"
When Wang Ji heard this, she was dumbfounded?Isn't it because he doesn't go on the road, so Qihou has already planned to compromise?Otherwise, what would Wu Zheng come over for?
Wu Jiu said: "Correcting this trip is out of date, just to pass on a word from my widow."
Father Qing looked at Wu Jiu and said, "I don't know what Duke Qi means?"
Wu Jiu laughed lightly, glanced at Qingfu and Wang Ji, and said coldly: "The widow said, since the princess looks down on Qi and doesn't want to marry to Qi, then she won't marry."
As he spoke, everyone was stunned. Wang Ji glanced at Father Qing, but Father Qing didn't know who to look at. Wu Jiu's words were very dignified, and he spoke them bluntly, with a bit of austerity.
After Wu Jiu finished speaking, without dragging his feet, he clasped his hands neatly and said: "The words have been brought, so I will take my leave!"
As he spoke, he waved and said, "Go back."
Soon the car made the sound of "sparkling" wheels, and quickly moved towards Shishui. Not to mention Wang Ji was stunned, even the scheming father Qing was blinded, and suddenly his eyes widened, and no one knew what to do. It was really embarrassing to think that Qi Hou said such embarrassing words, and everyone's faces were pale for a moment.
When Wang Ji heard this, she felt her self-esteem was hurt, and she stomped her feet and said, "Okay! Then I won't marry!"
Hearing Wang Ji's roar behind his back, Wu Jiu didn't stop, and quickly went back across the water without taking it seriously. Sure enough, that afternoon, just after lunch, he saw several carts escorting a cart. , coming here, it is indeed the carriage of the princess.
Wang Ji was escorted across the time, her face was very ugly, but she seemed to have nothing to do, her face was black and she didn't say a word.
Wu Jiu's goal was achieved. He knew that Wang Ji was petty and spoiled. Whether to marry or not, although women had the opportunity to decide for themselves in this era, after all, the Spring and Autumn Period was still full of matrilineal clan performances. Arranged marriages are as people imagined. On the one hand, in addition to the marriages of various countries, on the other hand, women's words also have a lot of weight.
If Wang Ji would rather die than marry, it is also a matter of coordination within Zhou State. It has already reached the border of Qilu. .
So when Wang Ji loses her temper, she loses her temper, but it is absolutely impossible not to marry her. Father Qing still coaxes her into marrying. What's wrong?
When Wang Ji got into the car, don't think that she would calm down when she got on the road. When she got in the car in the afternoon, she didn't walk for an hour before she asked someone to stop and insisted on taking a rest, saying that the car was bumpy and her body couldn't take it anymore.
Wang Ji got out of the car to rest, and an eunuch beside her was holding a fruit plate and was feeding Wang Ji fruit with a small dagger. Wang Ji asked the eunuch to beat her legs and squeeze her shoulders.
Wang Ji didn't leave, Qi Hou's face was very ugly, after all, there was still a big blister on the corner of his mouth, Wu Jiao came down to check the situation, and immediately saw Wang Ji who was eating fruit leisurely, and there was an eunuch beside him.
The eunuch had red lips and white teeth. If he didn't look carefully, he thought she was a girl disguised as a man, but she was not short. She knelt on the ground, said nice things, and squeezed Wang Ji's shoulders, as if she was particularly favored. Wang Ji's maids were all standing behind her, and there seemed to be no court ladies who were too caring.
Logically speaking, most of the princesses and princesses should be served by maids of honor. Although the eunuch is indeed an eunuch, unmarried women still need to avoid suspicion, which is inconvenient.
Wu Jiao felt that it was a bit strange that the princess had a close eunuch beside her and no close maid.
Wu Jiu asked a few maids in the palace to inquire, and the maid told Wu Jiu that the eunuch was a close vassal that the princess loved very much, especially in this year. The eunuch himself was a Yuren. The official of the horse, in fact, Guan Yiwu was also a horse breeder before he had no reputation.
This Yuren had a good-looking life. The princess saw him during the Yu Festival, and thought he was good-looking, so she talked to him a few words. Later, this Yuren took the initiative to become an eunuch and waited on the princess. Any court lady must know how to please the princess.
I heard that when Wang Ji sleeps at night, there is absolutely no need for others to watch the night. Only this person who keeps watch can Wang Ji sleep soundly.
Wu Jiu listened, feeling a bit miraculous, how could a man volunteer to be an eunuch to serve the princess?Wu Jiu probably couldn't understand this feeling.
The princess rested for half an hour, and another hour after starting the road, she stopped again. Wu Jiao looked at Qihou who was in the same car, his face was as dark as Lei Gong, and he couldn't help sweating secretly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Go check it out."
Qi Hou didn't speak, obviously he was about to be tormented to death by Wang Ji, he waved his hand, motioning for Wu to rectify.
Wu Jiu hurriedly got out of the car, and Ziqing came up to meet him. Wu Jiu said, "What's the matter? It stopped again."
Zhaohu next to her interjected, "I heard that the princess is weak and couldn't stand the bumps, so she vomited."
Vomited?
Wu Jiao thought to himself, so Wang Ji also gets carsick?
Wu Jiu thought that Wang Ji was making trouble again this time, so he went over to have a look, but Wang Ji didn't expect
Ziqing was sweating profusely. It was a big autumn day, his clothes were soaked, and he was clinging to his neck tightly. He was scratching angrily when he suddenly felt something touch his neck. Ziqing's neck was more sensitive. In addition, he was a person with a sense of crisis, how could someone touch his neck, he was startled, and he waved his hands violently to strike him down.
"Crack!" With a sound, Cao GUI hastily stretched out his hand and smiled, "Seeing that you are so tired from catching fish, I kindly wiped your sweat for you. How can you repay your kindness?"
Ziqing saw that Cao GUI hadn't left yet, so he must be playing tricks on him again, so he didn't speak, and turned his head to ignore him, ready to let Cao GUI retreat.
Cao GUI still didn't leave, and said with a smile: "I tell you, in fact, if you want to catch fish, you don't have to catch this small seedling. If you catch such a small fish, you won't be able to eat it. If you have a big fish, you can't wait to catch it."
After hearing this, Ziqing said suspiciously, "Where are the big fish?"
Cao GUI has always lived in the deep mountains, Ziqing thought, he might be much better at catching fish than himself.
Cao GUI, on the other hand, smiled and put his arms around his chest, making a haughty look. Once he became haughty, he really looked decent, and he really had the feeling of a scholar-bureaucrat.
I heard Cao GUI say with a smile: "That's it, you call me good brother, and I will tell you where there are big fish."
Ziqing said: "You, a Chinese doctor, actually bullied me, a boy, how shameless you are?"
Cao GUI was not angry either. He touched his chin and said with a smile, "That's weird. I'm a Chinese doctor. If I don't bully you, a kid, why don't I still bully the doctor? Isn't it just for fun? "
When Ziqing heard this, he stomped his feet angrily and said, "You...you rascal!"
Cao GUI said again: "Besides, I'm older than you, so it's not too much for you to call me a good brother. If you call me, you can do business. If you don't call me, you can go. You can catch the young fish by yourself. "
As Cao GUI said, he turned around decisively and wanted to leave. Ziqing chased after him two steps quickly and said, "Wait a minute."
Cao GUI said, "What? Let me wait and ask me to bully you?"
Ziqing's face turned blue, and he said, "You really can catch big fish?"
Cao GUI smiled, turned around, folded his arms and said, "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?"
Ziqing's face changed several times as he listened, he lowered his head, murmured his lips several times, and said in a low voice, "Okay...okay..."
His voice was too low, Cao GUI only heard one good word, but he was already laughing and said, "What a good boy, come on, my good brother will teach you how to catch fish."
As he spoke, he lifted up his official robe, tucked it in his belt, and rolled up his arms, looking decent.
Wu Jiao waited for a long time, then saw Ziqing coming over with a small jar in his arms, Wu Jiao looked over, good guy, four or five alive and kicking catfish.
No wonder Ziqing couldn’t find big fish, because catfish are called soil catfish, and they usually grow on the edge of river ditches, in grass or under stones, hide during the day, don’t swim in the water, and only appear at night, so Ziqing catches them so The fish could not be caught, so Cao GUI pulled out the stones on the water's edge, revealing several big catfish, and Ziqing caught a few small ones.
No wonder Yi Ya said that there is no fish in the water at this time, and the catfish is very dirty, so it is difficult to clean it up. In Shandong, carp is delicious, so Yi Ya uses delicious carp when making fish belly and hiding mutton. , although the catfish has few thorns, but the meat is not tender, not only old, but also has an earthy smell, and is not easy to take care of. In addition, the appearance of the earth catfish is like a monster. In ancient times, it was the prototype of the legend of the river monster. Naturally No one eats it.
When Wu Jiu saw the earth catfish, he was very happy for a moment. Isn't this a kind of grilled fish? It's cheap and has few spines. Those grilled Qingjiang fish that are very popular in the modern market are actually a kind of catfish.
Wu Jiu was very happy when he saw the catfish, and praised Ziqing a few times, Ziqing is inexplicable, these fish are so ugly, how can you be so happy?
Wu Jiu hugged the small jar, which was still quite heavy, and walked towards the dining room with a smile. He was going to clean up the catfish first, and then cook grilled fish.
Yi Ya was preparing lunch in the simple dining room he built, and Gongsun Xipeng was there. When Wu Jiu entered, Gongsun Xipeng was talking to Yi Ya. Seeing Wu Jiu's face full of surprise, he quickly saluted and said : "Young master."
Wu Jiao was a little strange, why did Gongsun Xipeng come running over, but when he saw his eyes lit up, Gongsun Xipeng felt a chill down his back, as if he had been calculated, and he really didn't dare to look Wu Jiao's eyes directly. "Tigers and tigers are powerful", so scary.
Then I heard Wu Jiu say with a smile: "Brother Xi Peng, are you free now?"
Wu Jiu always called Gongsun Xipeng the chief executive, but he suddenly called him brother Xipeng, which made Gongsun Xipeng a little flattered, and said: "If you are free, please tell me what you need, my lord."
Wu Jiu put the big jar, "Kuang!", put it on the stove, and said with a smile, "I don't know how Xipeng's knife skills are."
Knife skills?
Gongsun Xipeng is a veteran on the battlefield, so it goes without saying that he is skilled in swordsmanship.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Wu Jiao smiled and said, "Brother Xipeng, please help kill the fish!"
kill fish?
It’s like this, kill fish with Gongsun Xipeng’s superb knife skills, because Wu Jiu doesn’t like handling fish the most, on the one hand, he really doesn’t dare to kill, and in the past, he would buy the ones that have been slaughtered in the supermarket and let him do it himself Wu Jiu really didn't dare, secondly, he didn't have much experience, the fish was alive and kicking, so it would be easy for Gongsun Xipeng to play with it.
Gongsun Xipeng was stunned for a moment, but of course he would not refuse, after all, it was just a small matter of killing fish, so he immediately took off his black armor, changed into casual clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and started to help kill fish .
Yi Ya saw a bunch of earth catfish brought by Wu Jiu, he couldn't help but said strangely: "My lord, this fish smells too earthy, and it's ugly and dirty. It tastes very bad. How did you get so many earth catfish?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Otherwise, although it is a bit ugly, as long as it is cooked properly, the meat will be delicious."
After so many years of preparing food for easy teeth, no one can match it, but I didn't expect any method of preparing food to make the meat of the earth catfish more delicious.
Of course, Yi Ya couldn’t think of it, because the grilled catfish tastes delicious, firstly, because the earth catfish has few thorns, it is convenient to eat, and is suitable for lazy people; The third reason is that the earth catfish must be grilled with a heavy taste. The salty, salty and spicy characteristics of the grilled fish can completely cover up the earthy smell of the earth catfish. The shortcomings of tenderness and lack of delicious meat will also be covered up. If you use that kind of fish that is too good, it will be ruined instead.
When Gongsun Xipeng was killing the fish, Wu Jiao took out the grilled fish condiments he had prepared in the tent, put them on the stove, and mixed several condiments together. , exudes a different taste, a total of five fish, exactly five flavors.
Spicy, hot and sour, sauce, curry, and Kung Pao chicken...
No matter how long Ziqing caught the fish, Wu Jiao chose the seasonings for as long as he had. The spicy and sour ones are fine. Although there is no chili these days, there are also spicy seasonings that can replace chili, and the curry is quite spicy. For the sake of effort, there is no ready-made curry, and it needs to be prepared with a variety of ingredients.
Wu Jiu made curry himself before, but the ingredients in this era are different from those in modern times, and the taste is also different, so it took a long time to prepare it.
The last Kung Pao Chicken flavor was purely used by Wu Jiao to make up the numbers...
After Gongsun Xipeng killed the fish, Wu Jiu scratched the fish with a flower knife, and then spread the five kinds of condiments on the five fish, carefully coating them inside and out, marinated for a while to taste, and then let them Man prepares to burn oil.
Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the level of oil used by nobles has been greatly improved. Although there is no awareness of using oil among the common people, different oils are still used in different seasons among the nobles, such as lard, tallow and deer oil. And vegetable oil.
Wu Jiao poured oil into the cauldron, put the five fishes into the pan and deep-fried them separately. on the baking sheet.
Put five fishes on five large baking trays, and soon the five fishes sizzled on the grilling trays. The grilled ones were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and with the smell of spices, the aroma was all overwhelmed by roasting in an instant. When it came out, it smelled so fragrant that it couldn't be blown away by the wind, but it spread farther.
Wu Jiao waited for a while, and then added the necessary dishes for the grilled fish. He just turned the grilled fish over, and then put the grilled fish bottom dishes such as mushrooms on the bottom. The unique aroma of grilling on a plate was instantly forced out.
The simple dining room was full of aromas, and the cooks next to them were all amazed. Soon the smell in the dining room could not be held back, and it spread all over the place. Even Qihou's tent could smell the smell of rice. He couldn't help getting up and coming out to have a look, he thought it was Yi Ya who was thinking of ways to cook again.
Qihou came out, followed the scent and prepared to take a look. As soon as he entered the dining room, he saw Wu Jiu wearing a bright purple silk dress, with his sleeves rolled up and his hem tucked into his belt. But when Wu Jiu did it, it was surprisingly not ugly.
Not only is it not ugly, the silk clothes are too slippery, because Wu Jiu was turning over a fish, the silk clothes on one shoulder suddenly slipped off and hung on the crook of his arm.
I don't understand a word.
Qihou walked in, and the cooks next to him were busy, but he didn't notice it for a while, but Wu Jiao felt that the back of his head was about to be stared at. When he looked back, he was shocked, and it was Qihou who came in. He hurriedly pulled his hem out of his belt and put down his sleeves, only to see that the clothes had slipped to the crook of his arms, so he quickly pulled them up and put them on, cupped his hands and said, "See you, Your Majesty."
After Wu Jiu said this, other people woke up from their dreams and rushed to see Marquis Qi.
Qihou waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be formal, what is this doing, it is really fragrant."
Wu Jiu said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's grilled fish."
Qihou laughed and said, "Grilled fish? I have eaten grilled fish too, but it doesn't taste like you."
Qihou naturally ate a lot of grilled fish. When he fled, sometimes he ate grilled fish, but they were all fish that were caught, and they were grilled directly on the fire. If there was no salt, they would not paint anything. How could that be possible? tasty?
The most delicious fish that Qihou has ever eaten is the hidden mutton in the belly of Yi Ya. He never knew that grilled fish can be so delicious.
Qi Hou couldn't wait to taste it, and said with a smile, "Can I eat it?"
Seeing that Qi Hou's temper improved a bit, Wu Jiao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that Qi Hou is also a foodie, and he would be in a good mood if he had delicious food.
Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Since it is about to be baked, please move forward, Jiu will present the delicious food."
Qi Hou turned and went out, Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly asked someone to help carry the fish out, the grilled fish didn't have to be taken off the iron plate, but continued to be heated and delicious.
Qihou did not return to the tent, but asked someone to put the grilled fish directly beside the water. The other end of the water was Lu Jun. The smell of the grilled fish was extremely strong and overbearing, and it floated directly along the wind, and could smell it clearly clearly.
The soldiers of Lu were pulling up their military postures one by one, but Marquis Qi put the grilled fish here for lunch. The army of Lu on the opposite side was able to support at first, but then they couldn't hold it anymore, and the formation was messed up. Father Qing He rushed out from the shogunate and yelled at him, only then did he stop the messy Lu team.
Qi Hou is quite proud of this, five fishes messed up Tie Zhengzheng's square team, Qi Hou was in a good mood, and forgot about the embarrassing thing of being thrown by the princess in the morning, he said in a good mood: "Second brother, please sit."
Wu Jiu sat down at the table, and laid out five grilled fish one by one. Each grilled fish has its own characteristics. Like spring flowers, the colors are gorgeous and beautiful.
Qihou used his chopsticks to gently push aside the red, green and green vegetables on top, and caught a piece of fish meat. The fish skin was burnt and fragrant, full of toughness, the fish meat was fat and tender, without thorns, and there was a unique aroma of roasting in the mouth. , the scent is as domineering as it smells, salty and spicy, with a strong taste, but it retains the umami taste of the fish, the earthy smell and the problem of fish meat are completely covered up, Qihou didn't even know that it was earth catfish.
Qi Hou ate a piece and was really amazed. Because Wu Jiao also considered Qi Hou's taste, he naturally wanted to flatter him with delicious food. The taste of the grilled fish was just in line with Qi Hou's taste.
After eating the fish with three chopsticks, Qihou was also surprised to find that there was a layer of vegetables under the belly of the fish, and there were many varieties, dazzling.
Qihou picked up a piece of mushroom. The mushroom contained a spicy soup. Because it was placed under the fish, one side was charred and the other side was smooth and tender. Qi Hou shivered, but the smell immediately fainted, it was indescribably enjoyable.
Wu Jiao sent a bowl of white rice and a stack of pancakes cut into rhombus shapes. The rice was served on the grilled fish, and the pancakes were put on the iron plate for boiling. Qi Hou was really surprised. The fish in the world can be so delicious.
Qihou was happy to eat, he ate several bites in a row, and then went to the fish next to him. Qihou also liked the hot and sour fish, after all he likes to eat sour, and after that, it is sauce-flavored, not spicy. It seems almost domineering, Qihou is domineering, and his taste is also quite domineering, he seems to like the spicy one more.
Look at the fourth fish, there are also red, green and green dishes on it, but the whole fish is covered with a layer of golden "quilt". I don't know what it is, but Qi Hou has never seen such a color of sauce.
Qihou said: "What is the name of Huang Cencen's sauce?"
Wu Jiao smiled and said, "This is curry flavor."
"curry?"
Qihou had never heard of it before, so he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it tentatively. An indescribable overbearing aroma came straight to him. It is very thick, with a long and distant feeling, and all the added vegetables in it have become curry flavor, which is really strange, fresh, and tastes good.
The taste of curry is also very strong, and Qi Hou seems to like this taste very much. In the end, there is the weird Kung Pao chicken flavor made by Wu Jiao. It is not a pure Sichuan style, and a lot of stone honey is added in it. An improved version of sweet taste.
After one bite, the fish meat is salty and spicy first, then sweet and sour. The taste is strange and powerful, but it is unexpectedly delicious.
Marquis Qi liked the taste of the five fishes, and he liked it so much that he ordered someone to bring wine and set up a mat by the river for Wu Jiao to sit down and eat together. I also like spicy ones, and I like spicy ones the most, but my mouth will swell up if I eat too much, so I have to eat the sauce-flavored ones aggrievedly. In the end, he lay on Wu Jiu's lap and fell into a deep sleep.
Qihou took all the doctors on the other side of the river, drinking wine and eating fish, the smell of grilled fish was wafting, and the soldiers on the other side of the river stood in square formation. Tiao Yu, the soldiers of the State of Lu started the second riot, and soon Father Qing came out to scold him again.
When it was time to eat the fourth fish, the soldiers couldn't bear it any longer. They were hungry and wanted to eat, so Father Qing had to order the soldiers to retreat back to eat.
Because Qi Hou used five grilled fish to file the prestige of Lu State severely this day, so he was in a good mood, so he didn't care about Wang Ji's entrustment.
Qihou couldn't get enough of his food, he especially liked grilled fish, and he wanted to eat grilled fish at night, but it was hard to say, fortunately Wu Jiao has good eyesight, otherwise Qihou would have died of gluttony.
The day was spent eating, drinking and drinking like this, and there was nothing else to do, and soon went to rest. When he got up on the second morning, Wu Jiu thought that the princess should follow everyone on the road today, right?
As a result, Qihou and Wu Jiu took all the doctors and stood by the water for half an hour. Qihou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot of roasted fish, and only then did he see a car driving in the distance. .
But when he got closer, he saw that it was not the princess Wang Ji, but a maidservant, who jumped out of the chariot and said, "Meet Marquis Qi."
Seeing that there was only one maidservant, Qihou immediately turned darker, and said, "Well, what happened to the princess today?"
The maid said tremblingly: "Go back...to the Duke of Qi, the princess said...that the wind and sand were too strong today, the princess squinted her eyes because of the wind and sand, and she was afraid...that she would get a cough, so...that's why I can't go on the road today, let's talk about it tomorrow. "
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "I'm afraid the princess is not suffering from a cough, but a delicate disease!"
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves coldly, turned around and left.
Once Qihou got angry, he let Wu Jiao eat the grilled fish these two days. Although there is no shortage of such muddy catfish in the water, Wu Jiao was really afraid that he would get angry if he ate too much grilled fish, and his stomach would be full. The fire, plus the fire made by the princess, I'm afraid there is no place to spread it.
Sure enough, Qi Hou ate grilled fish for four meals for two days in a row, and in addition to the dry weather in autumn, he got angry early in the morning on the third day. itch.
Wu Jiu was not in a hurry to get up this morning. He hugged Xiao Di'er as a pillow, lay on the bed, rubbed against Xiao Di'er's fleshy belly, and shed Xiao Di'er's itchy tears. As soon as Ziqing came in , thinking that Wu Jiu bullied Xiao Di'er and made her cry.
Ziqing waited on Wu Jiu to put on his clothes, and Wu Jiao took his time and said, "It doesn't matter if you slow down, anyway, I won't be able to leave today anyway, the princess doesn't want to go to Linzi City, so she must find Zhe to complain about her illness."
Wu Jiu hadn't finished getting dressed when he heard someone say that the princess was really sick again today and couldn't go on the road. Can't hit the road.
When Wu Jiu heard it, he looked for it, and sure enough, he was looking for it again, molesting Qihou's endurance over and over again, even if the princess really sprained her ankle, she was a golden car, and the car was covered with thick rugs all the way. There is no need to walk because of the soft cushion. How could it be impossible to stop on the road because of a sprained ankle.
Wu Jiao didn't take it seriously, anyway, he was not in a hurry, as long as he was not allowed to be alone with the princess, the princess would do whatever she wanted.
After Wu Jiu put on his clothes, he saw the eunuch come in and said, "My lord, your honor."
Wu Jiu didn't know why Marquis Qi asked him to do it, but it was probably because of the princess' affairs, and there was nothing else beside the water at this time.
Wu Jiu hurriedly asked Zixi to wash up, put on his outer robe, and hurried to Qihou's tent, but Qihou was not in the tent, but in the shogunate.
Wu Jiu walked to the door, asked the eunuch to pass the message, and walked in quickly. Qihou's face was very ugly, sitting on the mat, wearing a black court robe, very majestic, setting off his tall and straight body, his back was straight, and he sat down. After that, the black court robe couldn't conceal the powerful muscles of his legs, outlining the lines of strength.
But Wu Jiu didn't pay attention to how tall and stalwart Qi Hou was. Once he walked in, Wu Jiu looked Qi Hou indifferently, and at the first sight he saw the big bubble on the corner of Qi Hou's mouth, as if he had an eggplant in his mouth. It also looks like a beauty from the Tang Dynasty, with two dots of soybean-sized noodles on her lips, while Qihou only nodded one side, which looks strangely tight.
Wu Jiao glanced at it, then quickly lowered his head, knowing that Marquis Qi must be a firefighter, and with his bad complexion, he might be a firecracker made by a black-hearted workshop.
Wu Jiu went in and bowed to Marquis Qi, Marquis Qi said indifferently, "Second brother, you know, what's the point of recruiting second brother alone?"
Wu Jiao just said respectfully: "Jiao dare not presume your majesty's will."
Hearing what he said so pleasantly, Marquis Qi sneered with a "huh" and said, "The princess is not going on the road again today."
Wu Jiao thought to himself, he had already heard the news, and as expected, Wang Ji had been embarrassing them from the very beginning, and he didn't know if it was because Wu Jiao didn't come to the appointment, or Wang Ji didn't want to marry the young master at all. No loss.
Logically speaking, Young Master Wu Kui has good looks and is the eldest son. His mother is Chang Wei Ji. No, it should be shortened to Wei Ji now, because Shao Wei Ji has been sent back to the Kingdom of Wei. His mother is noble, although He has not been conferred the title of wife yet, but Marquis Qi does not have a wife right now, so a son who has no losses is not considered a concubine, and he will be righted one day.
Moreover, Young Master Wu Kui is very accomplished, and he has made friends all over the world. I wish that every country has a scholar-bureaucrat who has good friends with him. Because of these, Young Master Wu Kui should be a potential stock. The daughters of all countries who have nothing to lose, have to line up to say goodbye.
Wu Jiu couldn't figure out why Wang Ji didn't want to marry the son without loss, could it be because of her own business?Wu Jiu’s body is already 30 years old. Although 30 years old is not too old for a man, he has just entered Erli, which is the age to show a big burden. Throughout history, Qin Huang, Han Wu, which one did not create the peak in the year of Erli However, Wu Jiu really didn't think that he, a quasi-uncle, was so attractive.
Wu Jiu didn't speak in silence, only to hear that Marquis Qi had something to say, and continued to say coldly: "The princess said, if you want to go on the road today, it's not impossible, but..."
He paused again, as if it was a blunt knife stuck on Wu Jiao's neck, Wu Jiao felt a kind of quiet murderous aura, and wanted to scrape it off one by one.
Qihou continued: "However, the princess's ankle is sprained and she can't walk or pedal the cart. If she wants to walk, she said that the second brother must carry the princess into the cart by himself."
When Wu Jiu heard this, Wang Ji was clearly embarrassing himself. Although there was no saying in this era that men and women could not kiss each other, and there was no saying that women could not go out and meet people, but Wang Ji was going to marry the son soon after all. Wu Jiu's nephew and daughter-in-law, if Wu Jiu cheated on Wang Ji, he would definitely be talked about by others.
After Qihou finished speaking, he said coolly, "What do you think, second brother?"
Wu Jiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I'm afraid Wang Ji is still a child at heart, just playing a joke for a while."
Qi Hou laughed "hehe", raised his hand, gently stroked the calluses on his palm, and said, "Wang Ji is very stubborn. For a day or two, Gu has no objection. After all, she is the princess of Zhou Guolai, so she should take care of her." , but today is already the third day, if we continue to delay like this, when will we be the boss? Can Second Brother have a solution? "
Wu Jiu listened for a long time, but Qi Hou was trying to force himself to find a solution, so he cupped his hands and said, "There is a solution, and it only needs a word from your majesty."
"Oh?"
Qihou narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"
Soon Wu Jiu strode out from the shogunate, and the Marquis of Qi ordered Wu Jiu to take Cao GUI with him, and spread a word in time.
In fact, Wu Jiu was also thinking, why did Marquis Qi choose to let him take Cao GUI there?It stands to reason that if you are tall and majestic, you will be elected as Gongsun Xipeng. Although Gongsun Xipeng is not dark-faced, but has a bronze skin, looks heroic and handsome, and has a full image of a tough guy. Face, reputation ring clank.
If it weren't for Gongsun Xipeng, he should have chosen Zhaohu. Although Zhaohu looked like a white-faced scholar, and his figure was slender and not heroic, Zhaohu had a great reputation, and he was famous all over the world when he was young.
Instead, he chose Cao GUI, who is not yet well-known. Cao GUI, as a doctor in the middle school, has a low rank. Penny personality.
In fact, Wu Jiu didn't know, because Marquis Qi was born again. When Chang Shao was defeated and the Lu National Alliance, it was Lu Gong who relied on the talent of Cao GUI to shame and embarrass himself unscrupulously, although there is no such thing as a defeat of Chang Shao , and there is no Lu National Alliance yet, Cao GUI is already a doctor of Qi State, it is impossible to embarrass him, but Qi Hou is narrow-minded, and has always "held grudges", finally found an opportunity, and naturally wanted to show off with Lu State Cao GUI.
Although this "show off" was only enjoyed by Marquis Qi, the Lu people had no idea what was going on, nor did they know who Cao GUI was.
Wu Jiu soon took Cao GUI with him, although Cao GUI was usually a little arrogant and unruly, but he never lost the chain in business.
Cao GUI quickly dressed neatly, held Wu Jiu's sword in his hand, jumped onto the chariot first, and then invited Wu Jiu to get on the chariot. Three chariots escorted Wu Jiu's chariot to the water, and soon reached the water's edge , ready to cross the water.
When Wang Ji heard that Wu Jiao was coming, she immediately became happy, and ran out of the camp quickly. Sure enough, she saw Wu Jiao from afar. Wu Jiao was dressed in purple silk clothes. It moves like a fairy.
Wang Ji ran out happily, and Qing's father also came out to watch the "lively", but in fact Wang Ji didn't want to marry, it was Qing's father's fault.
Duke Lu himself was unwilling to arrange this marriage. After all, he was the main marriage prince, but there was no benefit at all. Once the princess married into Qi State, it would increase the national power of Qi State, so Lu Gong specially ordered his elder brother to celebrate the marriage. Father came to make trouble.
Wang Ji was very happy to see Wu Jiao on the first day, but Wu Jiu didn't come to the appointment that night, which made Wang Ji very disappointed.
Wang Ji is a princess, and it's normal to be arrogant, so she was unhappy. At this time, Father Qing found an opportunity to interfere with the marriage, and secretly told Wang Ji that Young Master Wu Kui is a bastard, even if he is the eldest son, it is useless .
In fact, when he said these words, Qing's father felt as if his heart had been boiled. Qing's father knew better than anyone else that a concubine's eldest son was useless.
When Wang Ji heard that, the young master who had been promised in every possible way before was worthless, but he was so useless, she immediately didn't want to marry, and she couldn't forget Wu Jiu.
Father Qing provoked the princess again, saying that Wu Jiu was not good at all. He heard that Wu Jiu would play tricks on every occasion, and he liked male sex. Qihou suddenly treated Wu Jiao so well. He didn't kill Wu Jiu who was fighting for the throne, and even served him as a special envoy because of them. The relationship between them is ambiguous.
Wang Ji was taken aback, Wu Jiao turned out to be quite masculine, so she didn't like Young Master Wu Kui, and changed her mind about Wu Jiao, so she naturally found faults to delay the time to go on the road.
Father Qing had achieved his goal, and he was just happy, but he didn't expect Wu Jiao to come, and he wanted to come out to see how Wu Jiao was humiliated by the princess.
As a result, as soon as Father Qing came out, he saw Wu Jiao in a purple robe, with a haughty face and no trace of distress. The car slowly stopped in front of the big tent. The special envoy of the country is very polite, and Jiu Te was ordered by the widow to come to deliver a message."
When Wang Ji saw Wu Jiao, she really loved and hated her. She loved Wu Jiao's color, which really fascinated her, but she also hated Wu Jiao for being so masculine. If it wasn't like this, why didn't Wu Jiao come to propose marriage sooner?
Wang Ji looked at Wu Jiu and said, "Brother Jiu is here to carry me on the road?"
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "How could the princess have such a misunderstanding?"
When Wang Ji heard this, she was dumbfounded?Isn't it because he doesn't go on the road, so Qihou has already planned to compromise?Otherwise, what would Wu Zheng come over for?
Wu Jiu said: "Correcting this trip is out of date, just to pass on a word from my widow."
Father Qing looked at Wu Jiu and said, "I don't know what Duke Qi means?"
Wu Jiu laughed lightly, glanced at Qingfu and Wang Ji, and said coldly: "The widow said, since the princess looks down on Qi and doesn't want to marry to Qi, then she won't marry."
As he spoke, everyone was stunned. Wang Ji glanced at Father Qing, but Father Qing didn't know who to look at. Wu Jiu's words were very dignified, and he spoke them bluntly, with a bit of austerity.
After Wu Jiu finished speaking, without dragging his feet, he clasped his hands neatly and said: "The words have been brought, so I will take my leave!"
As he spoke, he waved and said, "Go back."
Soon the car made the sound of "sparkling" wheels, and quickly moved towards Shishui. Not to mention Wang Ji was stunned, even the scheming father Qing was blinded, and suddenly his eyes widened, and no one knew what to do. It was really embarrassing to think that Qi Hou said such embarrassing words, and everyone's faces were pale for a moment.
When Wang Ji heard this, she felt her self-esteem was hurt, and she stomped her feet and said, "Okay! Then I won't marry!"
Hearing Wang Ji's roar behind his back, Wu Jiu didn't stop, and quickly went back across the water without taking it seriously. Sure enough, that afternoon, just after lunch, he saw several carts escorting a cart. , coming here, it is indeed the carriage of the princess.
Wang Ji was escorted across the time, her face was very ugly, but she seemed to have nothing to do, her face was black and she didn't say a word.
Wu Jiu's goal was achieved. He knew that Wang Ji was petty and spoiled. Whether to marry or not, although women had the opportunity to decide for themselves in this era, after all, the Spring and Autumn Period was still full of matrilineal clan performances. Arranged marriages are as people imagined. On the one hand, in addition to the marriages of various countries, on the other hand, women's words also have a lot of weight.
If Wang Ji would rather die than marry, it is also a matter of coordination within Zhou State. It has already reached the border of Qilu. .
So when Wang Ji loses her temper, she loses her temper, but it is absolutely impossible not to marry her. Father Qing still coaxes her into marrying. What's wrong?
When Wang Ji got into the car, don't think that she would calm down when she got on the road. When she got in the car in the afternoon, she didn't walk for an hour before she asked someone to stop and insisted on taking a rest, saying that the car was bumpy and her body couldn't take it anymore.
Wang Ji got out of the car to rest, and an eunuch beside her was holding a fruit plate and was feeding Wang Ji fruit with a small dagger. Wang Ji asked the eunuch to beat her legs and squeeze her shoulders.
Wang Ji didn't leave, Qi Hou's face was very ugly, after all, there was still a big blister on the corner of his mouth, Wu Jiao came down to check the situation, and immediately saw Wang Ji who was eating fruit leisurely, and there was an eunuch beside him.
The eunuch had red lips and white teeth. If he didn't look carefully, he thought she was a girl disguised as a man, but she was not short. She knelt on the ground, said nice things, and squeezed Wang Ji's shoulders, as if she was particularly favored. Wang Ji's maids were all standing behind her, and there seemed to be no court ladies who were too caring.
Logically speaking, most of the princesses and princesses should be served by maids of honor. Although the eunuch is indeed an eunuch, unmarried women still need to avoid suspicion, which is inconvenient.
Wu Jiao felt that it was a bit strange that the princess had a close eunuch beside her and no close maid.
Wu Jiu asked a few maids in the palace to inquire, and the maid told Wu Jiu that the eunuch was a close vassal that the princess loved very much, especially in this year. The eunuch himself was a Yuren. The official of the horse, in fact, Guan Yiwu was also a horse breeder before he had no reputation.
This Yuren had a good-looking life. The princess saw him during the Yu Festival, and thought he was good-looking, so she talked to him a few words. Later, this Yuren took the initiative to become an eunuch and waited on the princess. Any court lady must know how to please the princess.
I heard that when Wang Ji sleeps at night, there is absolutely no need for others to watch the night. Only this person who keeps watch can Wang Ji sleep soundly.
Wu Jiu listened, feeling a bit miraculous, how could a man volunteer to be an eunuch to serve the princess?Wu Jiu probably couldn't understand this feeling.
The princess rested for half an hour, and another hour after starting the road, she stopped again. Wu Jiao looked at Qihou who was in the same car, his face was as dark as Lei Gong, and he couldn't help sweating secretly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Go check it out."
Qi Hou didn't speak, obviously he was about to be tormented to death by Wang Ji, he waved his hand, motioning for Wu to rectify.
Wu Jiu hurriedly got out of the car, and Ziqing came up to meet him. Wu Jiu said, "What's the matter? It stopped again."
Zhaohu next to her interjected, "I heard that the princess is weak and couldn't stand the bumps, so she vomited."
Vomited?
Wu Jiao thought to himself, so Wang Ji also gets carsick?
Wu Jiu thought that Wang Ji was making trouble again this time, so he went over to have a look, but Wang Ji didn't expect
