Chapter 49
The two women smiled coquettishly, Wu Jiu hastily stretched out his hand first to push off Xuan Jiang who was hanging around his neck, and then pulled off Shao Wei Ji who was holding his waist.Wu Jiu's face was a little stiff, but fortunately the room was very dark, so he couldn't see Wu Jiao's face clearly.
Xuan Jiang was pulled down by Wu Jiu, and coquettishly wanted to put his arms around Wu Jiu's neck again, saying: "Why, does my younger brother despise my elder sister's old Zhu Huang? Doesn't he like my elder sister?"
Shao Weiji also went around to Wu Zheng's face, posted it step by step, and said with a smile: "My lord, is this concubine serving you?"
Wu Jiu hurriedly stepped back to distance himself from them. One was the elder sister of Young Master Jiu, although because of his status as Young Master Jiu, she was definitely not a real sister, but at such an age, Wu Jiu didn't like it either. Those who are younger than themselves are like birds and people.
Xuan Jiang's wrists are so hot, and his age is so old, it doesn't fit Wu Jiu's aesthetics, even if it's a beauty trick, he doesn't hit the spot.
The other one is a woman of Marquis Qi, or a woman who was divorced by Marquis Qi. Young Wei Ji will pretend to be a jerk, otherwise how can she be promoted from a maid to a concubine?
But Wu Jiao doesn't like to pretend to be sweet, because he will get goose bumps all over his body. Even if Qi Hou said a few gentle and caring words, Wu Jiao would get goose bumps all over his body, let alone twisting the water snake's waist and acting like a baby.
Besides, Wu Jiu didn't know why he was still sharp-eyed in such a dark time. Shaowei Ji might be due to her age. When she twisted her waist, the slack wrinkles on her waist could be revealed by the translucent shirt. Wrinkled in a circle, quite hot eyes.
Wu Jiao bit the bullet and quickly retreated, the two men chased forward, and the three of them retreated into the inner room in an instant. The candles were lit in the inner room, so everyone's sights became brighter at once, and Wu Jiao almost went straight to the room. Cover your eyes, because the eyes are more irritated by the light.
Xuan Jiang and Shao Wei Ji continued to "push forward" diligently, as if they were going to take them away in a wave, Wu Jiu had already retreated to the side of the couch with a "bang", there was really no way to retreat.
Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "My brother's clothes are wet, sister can help you take them off, okay?"
Wu Jiu laughed, "Crack!" He grabbed Xuan Jiang's hand, and said wittily, "How can Sister Lao do this kind of rough work?"
As he spoke, Xuan Jiangjiao laughed, and wanted to fall on him, but Wu Jiao didn't follow, Xuan Jiang fell directly on the couch, although he was taken aback for a while, but he reacted quite quickly, lying on his side on the couch , posed a charming pose, and stretched out her long legs to gesture.
Wu Jiu wanted to support his forehead, but he was afraid of a surprise attack by Shaowei Ji over there, so before Shaowei Ji pounced on him, he hurriedly said: "The two beauties are visiting late at night, I'm afraid there is something important?"
When he said this, Xuan Jiang and Shao Wei Ji were startled, and they looked at each other. Shao Wei Ji didn't seem to have any opinions, and they all depended on Xuan Jiang, but Xuan Jiang grinned and said, "Brother What are you talking about? Why doesn’t my sister know? Come on, the spring night is short, why is my brother pushing back and forth, is it because my sister is not beautiful enough?”
Wu Jiao thought to himself, I will give you [-] points if you get the answer right!
But on his face, he said calmly: "Well, to correct this person towards beautiful women, he likes to be polite first...and then to fight."
Xuan Jiang giggled, then stretched his long legs back and forth, almost blinding Wu Jiu's eyes, and said coquettishly, "How polite? Why... soldiers?"
Wu Jiu coughed, calmed down his mind, and stopped complaining about Xuan Jiang, and said with a smile: "The two sisters explained their purpose of coming here, we get along well, how dare Jiu disappoint the kindness of the two sisters, if it is true If they don't get along, I'm afraid we can only be soldiers?"
Wu Jiuyi said "two sisters" simply because he said it casually, but Shaoweiji's face turned bad because Shaoweiji is really not a "sister", she is a woman of Marquis Qi, even though her son is 14 years old , but she was really no older than Wu Jiu, of course she was unhappy to be called sister, but she didn't say anything.
Looking at Shaoweiji's expression, Wu Jiu realized that he had said something wrong in a moment of impatience, but he really did it subconsciously, because Shaoweiji hadn't taken care of herself well enough to preach. Sure enough, Xuan Jiang was a pampered mother in Weiguo, and Shaowei Wei Ji is just a concubine who can't earn the right wife even if she fights her head, so the treatment is different.
When Xuan Jiang heard this, he smiled faintly, immediately turned over from the couch and sat up, and said with a smile, "Your brother is so cautious."
Wu Jiu said: "It's better to be cautious, because only being cautious can you not be rude, isn't it?"
These two people did have a purpose for coming here late at night. Otherwise, when the Qi State team came over and Qi Hou was in charge, how could they use a beauty trap against their nominal "special envoy"?
Wu Jiu saw it clearly, if he was really a lecherous person, if he slapped his head and broke things directly, then it would be miserable.
Xuan Jiang saw that he and Shaoweiji had no way to use beauty tricks on Wu Jiu, so he had to sit down and said with a smile: "Today I came to see my younger brother, there is indeed an important matter, it must be my younger brother, and no one else can do it." good."
Wu Jiao said with a smile: "My sister loves Jiu too much, but Jiu is not the kind of capable person."
Seeing that Wu Jiu refused before listening, Xuan Jiang didn't like the high hat he was wearing at all, so he could only bite the bullet and say with a dry smile: "The thing is like this..."
As she said, she took out a small red and white stone from her clothes like a magic trick, and placed it gently on the couch. Under the light of the candle, the small stone looked pretty.
Wu Jiao glanced at the stone suspiciously, and couldn't tell what it was, but there was a strange smell, like sulfur, very faint, because Wu Jiao was born with a keen sense of smell and taste, so he could smell it faintly.
Seeing Wu Jiu showing suspicion, Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "Brother, do you know what this is?"
Wu Jiao shook his head, Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "Your brother is so tender, have you never seen this before? This is called... Hedinghong."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he thought that Xuan Jiang had come to seduce him, but he was carrying arsenic?Is this to kill someone?
Hedinghong is actually unprocessed arsenic in ancient times. It is the red letter stone, the raw material of arsenic. Because there is red in the white of red letterstone, it seems to be the crown of a crane head. The ancients are elegant, so it is named Hedinghong. Red is the raw material of arsenic, which is still lethal, and it will be lethal if used in a small amount.
However, the poison of Hedinghong can indeed be tested by silver needles in ancient times, because the red letter stone has not been processed and refined, and it will contain sulfur when it is mined. If the quality is not good, it will also have a slight sulfur smell. , so what Wu Jiu heard just now was not an illusion.
When the silver needle encounters sulfide, it will produce silver sulfide, which is wrapped on the silver needle. Although the ancients did not know the chemical reaction, they also learned how to use the silver needle to test poison.
The method of silver needle poison test, except for dealing with Hedinghong, is actually useless, and after the modern technology matures, the sulfide is purified, and the silver needle can no longer deal with arsenic.
However, the use of poison in ancient times was very limited, and silver needles were usually enough.
Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "Does my brother know what this is for?"
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "It's definitely not what I was told to eat. If I was asked to eat, why would my sister bother so much?"
Xuan Jiangjiao said with a smile: "My brother is so smart, so tell him! This is called my brother, and it's for Marquis Qi to eat!"
As soon as Xuan Jiang said, Wu Jiu broke out in a little cold sweat on his back, thinking that Xuan Jiang was cruel enough, and he actually gave it to Marquis Qi.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Jiu finally figured it out. It must be that at the banquet just now, Wei Hou tried Qi Hou's intention to attack the Zhou Dynasty together, but Qi Hou rejected it. As a result, Wei Hou felt unhappy. On the other hand, I was also afraid that Marquis Qi would leak the news. Attacking other countries and leaking the news would at most make it impossible to fight, but attacking the Zhou Dynasty and leaking the news would be a crime of disrespect.
Perhaps the Zhou Dynasty would randomly assign a few countries to unite to defend the country. After other countries were ordered, it would not be an invasion, but a legitimate and legal crusade. Why would the countries not do it?
Wei Hou didn't expect Qi Hou to refuse. After all, Wei and Qi are inseparable, and the in-law relationship is complicated, but Qi Hou refused immediately, which made Wei Hou very embarrassed and felt the crisis.
In this way, Weihou wanted to kill Qihou to avoid future troubles. After all, Qihou is now in Wei Palace, and there is no better time than this time.
But Wei people can't kill Qihou. If someone finds out, they will definitely be punished by Qi and other countries' "righteous teachers", so Weihou thought of the method of asking Wu Jiu to poison Qihou.
Wu Jiao's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he smiled and said, "Sister, how do you know that Jiao is the most suitable?"
Xuan Jiang smiled and said: "Because my sister knows that you are the elder brother of the Marquis of Qi. After the death of Duke Xiang, you should have inherited the Qi State. I lost my younger brother, now the opportunity is just right, as long as my younger brother can scrape off a little powder of this and put it in his diet, my younger brother will be able to inherit the great unification of the Qi State, and my son will also help my younger brother to raise troops back to Qi. succession of light."
What Xuan Jiang said was better than what he sang. If it was his young master Jiu, his heart would have been moved, but Wu Jiu didn't have this kind of thought, he just said in embarrassment: "But... Jiu's identity... I'm afraid my sister also heard about it. Is that enough?"
Wu Jiao asked vaguely, he wanted to test Xuan Jiang, but he didn't expect Xuan Jiang to be hooked, and said quickly: "What's wrong with my younger brother's identity? Who dares to say anything? Even if my younger brother is really not from Qi, that's okay. At that time, even if my younger brother wants to change Qi Guo's surname, he can do as he pleases."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was very happy, as if everyone knew that he was not Qi Xigong's son, and the green hat worn by Lu Nu on Qi Xigong was too obvious, unlike Qihou's green hat, which was so concealed.
This matter is a handle, and now Xuan Jiang also knows that if he really ascends to the throne, Xuan Jiang will definitely get paid by secretly rubbing the bottom of the pot.
Wu Jiu smiled, showing a look of embarrassment, and said, "This... this..."
Xuan Jiang originally wanted to use the aggressive method, and said, "Isn't it because my brother has no courage?"
Wu Jiu slapped the table and made a "pop", which almost scared Xuan Jiang and Shao Weiji. After all, the two of them came here secretly. They were afraid of being discovered, and Qihou lived next door. It was a big discovery. .
But I heard Wu Jiu say: "The one who knows Jiu, Mo Ruo sister, Jiu has a problem, that is timid!"
Xuan Jiang almost choked to death, but Wu Jiu had something to say, after all, if he didn't pretend to socialize, he might also be regarded as a thorn in the side of Wei Hou Xuan Jiang and the others. Conspiracy is hard to guard against.
Wu Jiu said something later, and said: "But this position, Jiu wants it again."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then..."
Wu Jiu didn't wait for her to finish, and said along the interface: "Then Jiu think about it."
Xuan Jiang was choked by him again, his face turned red, not coquettish, but restrained.
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Big sister, please think carefully for two days. This crane with a red crown should be placed here for Jiu to think about."
Wu Jiu had reached this point, and Xuan Jiang and Shao Wei Ji couldn't stay for long, so they got up and left quietly.
Wu Jiu looked at He Dinghong who was staying on the couch, squinted his eyes, and thought that he needed to think of a way, Wei Hou's grudge, and Xuan Jiang's shrewd appearance, couldn't delay for long.
Wu Jiu was also tired, so he lay down on the couch and went to sleep, and waited for the next morning to talk about it.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Jiu got up early, after all, he was in the palace of the guard, and with Hedinghong as his companion, he didn't sleep well.
He dressed neatly, pushed open the door, and saw two tall eunuchs standing outside the door, they didn't look like serving people, but watching people.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "The two of you are...?"
The two eunuchs said: "I pay homage to Mr. Qi, the breakfast has been served, and the young minister is responsible for leading the adults to have breakfast."
Wu Jiu nodded, looked at the side room, the door was closed, he didn't know if Marquis Qi was there, so he said, "I don't know my widow..."
The eunuch said already: "Young Master, don't worry, the King of Qi is already having breakfast."
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Then I'll have Lao lead the way."
The attitude of the two eunuchs was considered respectful, but they were too tall, and their words were full of confidence. It didn't look like respect, but like coercion.
Wu Jiu walked forward with the two eunuchs, thinking carefully in his heart along the way, could it be that he has been tricked?It stands to reason that he should leave Wei Palace in the morning and go back to the post house. After all, yesterday was a family banquet, and none of the accompanying doctors entered the palace, so it is time to go back to meet up today.
But Weihou's attitude is probably to imprison them in the Wei Palace?
Wu Jiu thought about it, he had already arrived at the dining room, and he saw Qi Hou, who was dressed in a black robe, sitting on the table calmly and having breakfast.
Wu Jiu hurriedly walked over, sat on the opposite side, and bowed to Marquis Qi. Wu Jiu fought wits and courage with two "beauties" last night. It seemed that Marquis Qi slept well and looked good. what to say.
The two finished their breakfast silently, and were about to leave Wei Palace, but the eunuch came over and said that Marquis Wei had something to discuss with them, it was an urgent matter, and he asked them to stay in the palace for a while, because At that time, Marquis Wei was going to the morning court.
So the two were led to the side room of the Lu bedroom, where the display was very simple, a small case, a mat, and two glasses of water on the case. After the two were led in, the eunuch withdrew.
The door closed with a "bang", and the eunuch disappeared.
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Qihou, Qihou drank water calmly, and said with a smile, "Second brother was with a beautiful woman last night, how was it? I just see that second brother's complexion is not good today, could it be that he can't handle the beautiful woman?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he sneered in his heart, thinking that Marquis Qi had known about it a long time ago, no wonder the look in his eyes was quite meaningful just now.
Wu Jiao said flatly: "A beautiful woman is not to my liking."
When Qi Hou heard this, he almost laughed out loud, and put the quilt on the table, Wu Jiu also softly took out a small stone from his bosom, and put it on the table, it was a red crest of a crane.
Qi Hou glanced at it and said, "Why, if the second brother uses it so grandly, I'm afraid it won't work."
Wu Jiao smiled faintly, looked at Qi Hou faintly, his smile was like the spring breeze in March, gentle and comfortable, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty is really joking, if Jiu wants to poison you, I don't know how many pancakes you have eaten, I don't know how many times I was poisoned to death?"
Qihou was choked by him, and stretched out his hand to put the Hedinghong on the table into his sleeve, and said softly: "Okay, it's Gu and Second Brother who are joking..."
He hadn't finished his sentence yet, but Wu Jiao said again: "This joke is not so stubborn."
When Qihou heard this, he said helplessly: "It's my younger brother's fault, why don't I compensate my second brother? Is this feasible?"
Wu Jiu didn't speak, Qihou said in a low voice, "Weihou is afraid that he will put us under house arrest."
Wu Jiu thought to himself, this is all due to your refusal of Marquis Wei's refusal yesterday, but he was dragged into the water for no reason, any fool can see it, Marquis Wei's attitude is different from the one he had when he held the banquet last night. Made a big half-fold reversal.
But now the two of them are alone in the Weiguo Palace, even if Marquis Qi is superb in swordsmanship, he can't break out of the encirclement, I don't know what Marquis Wei has to do to deal with them.
Wu Jiu can only be thankful that last night he pretended to agree and was ambiguous, which also delayed the opportunity.
Seeing that Qi Hou was calm and composed, Wu Jiao said, "Then what can your majesty think of?"
Qihou said with a smile: "I didn't expect that."
Wu Jiu almost sprayed his face with a sip of water, coughed twice before calming down, and glanced at Qi Hou quietly.
On the contrary, Qihou was very calm, and said with a smile: "Since the second brother has delayed Xuan Jiang, there must still be room for conversion. Let's see first."
I'm afraid that's the only way...
Qi Hou and Wu Jiu drank water in the side room, and the first wait turned out to be two hours, four hours, and the whole morning passed. If Wei Hou was going to the morning court, he was really dedicated enough. During this period, the two At the hour, there were only two glasses of water, one for each person, and no water was added.
Wu Jiu stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and took a look outside, there were several eunuchs standing at the door, not letting him go out, saying that they would pour some water, but the eunuchs only agreed, but no one came. move.
Wu Jiao really lost his temper, so he had no choice but to walk back and lie down on the mat to sleep.
After waiting until it was past lunch time, a few eunuchs opened the door and said with a smile: "The king of Qi, son of Qi, I am really sorry, there is a sudden military incident in the palace, widow Your Majesty is discussing matters with the senior officials in the Lu Palace, please go back to your room to rest for a while, and at dinner time, Duke Wei invites you to a banquet to make amends."
It sounded good, but in fact it was playing tricks on them, making them wait for several hours, but Wei Hou didn't come, so he might have done something, anyway, Wu Jiu didn't believe that he was discussing matters.
Moreover, they were not allowed to leave the palace. There was a banquet at night, and when the banquet started, it was midnight, and the gate of the palace was closed, and they were not allowed to leave the palace.
If they came and went like this, they were put under house arrest in the palace, and the people in the Qi State team couldn't contact them, so they must have been prevaricated.
After hearing this, Qi Hou was not in a hurry, he stood up, walked out of the side room, and went back to his room to rest.
Wu Jiu wanted to go into Marquis Qi's room to discuss with him, but the eunuch didn't allow it. The two of them were "sent" into the room as if they were criminals, and the door was closed to prevent them from coming out.
Wu Jiu went into the room, lay down on the couch and looked at the roof, he even saved his lunch, Weihou's arrogance is quite ruthless.
Thinking about it, Wu Jiao felt a little hungry, so he simply closed his eyes and went to sleep, since there was nothing to do in being locked up here anyway.
Wu Jiao slept for a long time, fell asleep, and heard someone knocking on the door, and someone called him outside. Wu Jiao didn't wake up, so he didn't answer the door. People outside probably thought Wu Jiao He ran away, "Boom!" He rushed in directly through the door, rushed into the inner room and saw that Wu Jiao was sleeping with the quilt in his arms, his face twitching.
Only then did Wu Jiu open his eyes, and said unhurriedly, "What's the matter? Have you eaten?"
The eunuch said: "The widow invites the king of Qi and the son of Qi to go to the banquet."
Wu Jiu let out an "oh" and said unhurriedly, "I want to wash and change clothes, you go out first."
Those eunuchs looked at each other in blank dismay, Wu Jiao refused to leave, he lay on the bed and pretended to be dead, insisted on washing and changing clothes, the eunuch had no choice, after all, this was just house arrest, and force could not be used.
The eunuch had no choice but to get hot water and let Wu Jiao take a bath. Wu Jiao spent more than half an hour bathing, half an hour getting dressed, and two hours passed in a blink of an eye. Qihou there seemed to have a tacit understanding, not only To bathe, but also incense.
The two of them tossed about for two hours before they were all clean and tidy. Shi Shi ran out of the room and just happened to see each other. go forward.
The two were walking slowly, Weihou himself wanted to show them off and let them wait another hour at the banquet, but it didn't work out, Weihou's thoughts had been seen through by Wu Jiu and Qihou, Weihou and Xuan Jiang arrived During the banquet, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou Leng didn't come.
Wei Hou was so angry, he waited for a while, and wanted to leave the table angrily, then he saw Qi Hou and Wu Jiao walking over slowly, Wu Jiao saw Wei Hou's face turned black, and finally he felt better, and found some Changzi smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Wei is really polite. It's a waste of money to invite you to a banquet for two days."
Marquis Wei's expression was ugly, and he said coldly: "You two, please take your seats."
Everyone sat down, there were still very few people at today's banquet, even Shao Weiji was gone, there were only Wei Hou, Xuan Jiang, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou. In the case of Hou, there are very few cases.
Wu Jiu just smiled faintly, and said, "Jiao once heard that Wei Guo's agricultural affairs were backward, and seeing him today, I'm afraid he cleaned up all the dishes in the dining room yesterday, and that's why today it's so... so simple?"
Hearing Wu Jiu's irony, Marquis Wei picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Wei State is not as rich as Qi State, and Qi State has a son who knows how to cook. A son who knows how to cook."
As he spoke, he seemed to be in high spirits, he laughed wildly, and said confidently: "I heard that Young Master Jiu Lishan is more powerful than the cooks in Qi Palace, is there such a thing?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "It's not that Jiu is bragging, I'm afraid there is no one in Wei Palace who can surpass Jiu in craftsmanship."
Marquis Wei laughed, and said, "Okay, okay! Why don't you show your hand to Gu?"
Yesterday he said that he was a son, and his uncle was his father, and each uncle was one father, but now he is so unscrupulous, one mouth one you, but Wu Jiao is not angry, he just smiled and said: "This is not so difficult, but today is not right, Jiao I want to prepare some ingredients and condiments."
When Wei Hou heard this, he clapped his hands repeatedly, and said: "Okay! That's up to you! Another day, how about two days later? Two days later, I will invite all the officials to have a banquet, so that the officials of Wei State will also come to pay their respects to Qi State Young master's craftsmanship, if the food is good, there will be rewards, if the food is not good...what do you think?"
Wei Hou's voice was very contemptuous and frivolous, Qi Hou listened, and squinted his eyes, a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Wu Jiu just raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "Whatever Duke Wei wants, he can do it, how about it?"
When Wei Hou heard this, he felt itchy in his heart. He laughed loudly and said: "You said this, I will remember it, and I must never break my promise."
The more Marquis Wei talked, the more lewd he became, perhaps because he had already isolated the two of them in the palace, so he was particularly confident, and he didn't have to put on airs, so he became unscrupulous, talking vulgarly and without manners.
Sure enough, it was midnight when the banquet was over, the gate of the palace had already been closed, and Wu Jiu and Qihou were sent back to their room by the eunuch.
Early the next morning, an eunuch knocked on the door, saying that Wu Jiu was to go to the dining room to prepare ingredients and condiments, and Wei Hou would have a banquet for Doctor Qing tomorrow night.
Wu got up, and was taken unhurriedly by the eunuch to the dining room, as if he was a prisoner, without any freedom.
Knowing the entrance of the dining room, those eunuchs didn't go in. They guarded the door and asked the cook to lead Wu Jiao in.
All the cooks in Wei Palace knew that Marquis of Wei hired a prince from the state of Qi to cook, and he had to cook for all the high officials in the state of Wei. This was clearly a humiliation, and even the cooks knew it.
Because this was clearly a humiliation, the cooks treated Wu Jiu in a very lazy and negligent manner, and just led him in.
Sergeant Shanfu said with a condescending look, "Remember, there should be no aquatic products in the dishes for your majesty. Your majesty does not accept aquatic products, but there must be aquatic products in the dishes for the mother of the country. The mother of the country loves aquatic products."
Wu Jiao listened, it turns out that Weihou is allergic to seafood?It really didn't take much effort, Wu Jiu still wanted to rack his brains to prepare some dishes, now it's done, it's aquatic products.
This day Wu Jiu had been soaking in the dining room, no cook took care of him, he had to cook the fire by himself, but after he cooked the meal, a cook would come to taste it, and then check whether it was poisonous.
Wu Jiao naturally didn't poison, because poisoning is a big deal, and the poisons these days are not killing people invisible, so naturally he wouldn't use such a stupid method, Wu Jiao has a simpler method.
Qihou rested in his room for a day, and Wu Jiao prepared for the day in the dining room. On the second morning, Qihou was still in the room, and Wu Jiu was still in the dining room. Several eunuchs followed him, as if they were watching Same.
Soon it was time to set up the banquet, and the Marquis of Wei gave an order that all the high officials, civil and military officials in Weiguo came to the palace for the banquet.
Today, Marquis Wei wanted Qi Hou and Wu Jiu to look ugly, so he deliberately made a show of his power, and it was more than that.
Because although Wu Jiu accepted the Hedinghong, he did not respond for a long time, and Weihou was already impatient. He was afraid that Qihou would leak the news that he was going to attack the Zhou Dynasty, so he planned to arrange today's banquet as a "Hongmen Banquet". , First to humiliate Wu Jiu, and second to kill Qihou.
The banquet was very grand, after all there were so many high officials coming, and all the elite soldiers of Wei Gongzhong were dispatched, lurking around, there was a feeling of tension.
Wu Jiao was quite leisurely in the dining room, cooking the last dish, this was a dish that Weiguo had never tasted, even Qihou had never tasted it, it was a famous snack called Chicken Wing Wrapped Rice.
Roasted chicken wings are golden and oily, smelling fragrant, with burnt skin on the outside and tender meat inside, with layers of taste, and this chicken wing is different from ordinary chicken wings, because after biting the meat, there is no The bones, but there is still a ball of rice inside. From the outside, it is just a slightly bulging chicken wing. I did not expect that there is a layer of colorful rice inside.
The glutinous rice is mixed with diced meat and diced vegetables. After careful ingredients, the glutinous rice has a good taste. I don’t know what is in the soft glutinousness. It is also very springy and full of salty fragrance.
After Wu Jiao made this chicken wrapping rice dish, he put the round and golden chicken wings in a special slate pot, put the lid on, and it was ready to be served.
The slate can keep warm, and the chicken wings are grilled to a little bit more fragrant. When they are served on the table, the lid is lifted. This humble snack must be the most fragrant one among all the dishes.
Everything was ready, Wu Jiu was taken to the table by the eunuch, Qi Hou was already there, Wu Jiu walked over, Qi Hou glanced at him, the two looked at each other, and quickly looked away .
Right after Weihou came, Weihou and Xuan Jiang came out together, and behind him was Xuan Jiang's current husband who didn't often show his face. Today's people can be said to be complete.
The banquet was set up in the largest palace in the Lu bedroom, so many people, all the ministers came, it was very grand, it seemed that they all came to see the jokes of Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu.
Marquis Wei wanted to embarrass them. Think about it, it would be embarrassing for Mr. Qi to cook for all the ministers of Wei. If it was spread, wouldn't it be laughed at by other countries?
Marquis Wei sat down very proudly, and said with a smile: "Today is a happy day. I heard that the young master of Qi State is a great talent, can cook meals, and the taste is delicious. Today, all the ministers are blessed. All the lords prepare the meal, please have a taste and a taste."
The ministers of the state of defense responded one after another, and looked at Wu Jiu with contempt.
Wu Jiu remained calm, and soon the maids filed in and placed meals on the cases of Marquis Wei, Xuan Jiang and other high officials.
The dishes are all laid out, and the maid puts the lid on the slate pot a little, and there is a sound of "stinging, stinging". The slate is very insulated, and the chicken wings in the special pot are golden, and when the lid is lifted, there is a fragrant smell of meat As they came towards them, everyone fell silent for a moment. They quickly took a few deep breaths and stretched their heads to smell the fragrance. It was really fragrant and very different.
But I saw a few golden chicken wings in the dark stone pot, each of which was much larger than ordinary chicken wings, round and bulging, especially the skin of the chicken wings, which was stretched so round that it was called a round shape. It seems to be full of reflections.
The smell of burnt and salty fragrance instantly permeated the entire road bedroom, and everyone was attracted just by smelling the smell.
Wei Hou seemed a little impatient, and immediately took a bite of the scorched chicken bao rice with his chopsticks. It was hot and a little bit hot, but it was so delicious that he couldn't care less about whether it was hot or not.
The skin is yellow and bright, the chicken skin itself is oily and greasy, and soft. If you look closely, there are still some goose bumps on it, but after Wu Jiao's treatment, the roast is golden and golden, and all the excess oil is baked out. On the contrary, it is extremely delicious, with a strong burnt aroma in the mouth, it is crispy and thin, and the taste buds are instantly opened.
Bite off the golden skin on the outside, and the tender and even slippery chicken inside is exposed. It is so tender, and the crispy skin on the outside forms a texture that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Marquis Wei thought that the taste was going to disappear, and was trying to find fault, but he continued to bite in. Surprisingly, the chicken wing had no bones. It turned out that it was not a simple chicken wing, and the chicken wing was stuffed with rice.
The appearance of the chicken wings has not been damaged at all, but the inside is bulging, stuffed with rice, a burst of heat rises from the bitten chicken, and the rice fragrance inside erupts.
Marquis Wei was taken aback, staring at the chicken wings for a long time, the rice inside was also very strange, very salty and fragrant, it should be seasoned with chicken broth or bone broth, and the rice was soft but not sticky to the teeth, and it was accompanied by some crunchiness Raw vegetables and crushed diced meat are really delicious.
Unexpectedly, a chicken wing has hidden universe inside.
Marquis Wei wanted to find fault, but he couldn't find the problem. He didn't care whether it was hot or not, and ate three of them viciously while hissing!
Seeing that Wei Hou looked like he had never eaten, Xuan Jiang really had no idea, and wanted him to eat more slowly, but he took a bite himself, and his eyes widened. It was really delicious, and Xuan Jiang ate a chicken wing directly. relieved.
Marquis Wei ate three of them, still feeling unsatisfied, so he asked the eunuch to bring him two more stone pots, and then he said with a smile: "Young Master Qi's craftsmanship is really extraordinary, you should try it too."
As soon as everyone heard this, they quickly started to move their chopsticks. As soon as the lid of the stone pot was lifted, everyone could smell the fragrance, and they were already ready to move, but Wei Hou didn't say to open the table, so they didn't dare to eat.
With this order, everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and ate wildly, everyone was full of praise, and the hall was full of exclamations for a while.
Wei Hou ate three more in one go, making a total of six, his face was flushed with oil, his mouth was full of oil, Wu Jiao saw with a smile that he was going to eat the seventh, and then he opened his mouth.
Wu Jiu said unhurriedly: "Jiao still remembers that Duke Wei said that if you do well, you will be rewarded."
When Wei Hou heard this, he didn't put down the chicken wings in his hand, continued to eat, and said with a smile: "Naturally there will be rewards, naturally there will be rewards, but you just say so."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "In that case, please ask Wei Gong to let Qi's troops go abroad by way."
Marquis Wei himself was smiling, and hearing Wu Jiu say this suddenly, it seemed as if Qi and Wei were torn apart in an instant, and they began to confront each other blatantly.
Marquis Wei has been delaying them from leaving the palace, one reason is that he wants to put them under house arrest and prevent Marquis Qi from leaving, fearing that they will leak the news of attacking the Zhou Dynasty.
On the other hand, he also wanted to delay their time and prevent them from going to the funeral. It would be disrespectful to miss the time for the funeral, and Wei Hou was planning for this.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jiu's flirtatious words would be uncovered in such a way, Wei Hou's face twitched, and he almost couldn't even eat the chicken wings.
Marquis Wei smiled dryly and said: "Look at what the young master said, it's not that I don't want them to borrow the way, but that the two uncles finally came to Weiguo, and I want to do my best to treat the two uncles as a landlord. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by others, and you will think that the lonely country of Wei is shabby."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's quite shabby."
"what?"
Wei Hou didn't hear Wu Jiu's words clearly for a moment, because no one could say that.
Wu Jiu repeated: "Jiao said...Wei State is quite shabby, a great country, and only two meals a day are given to the widow and Jiu, morning and evening. Do you think it is shabby? Not only meals, but daily actions are also restricted. , the huge palace of Wei does not allow guests to move around, do you think it is shabby or not? The beauty who entertained the envoys is your own mother, Duke Wei, do you think... is it shabby or not?"
When he said these three sentences, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know what kind of unclean food Wu Jiao ate, but suddenly he became so sharp. Everyone in Weiguo knew about Xuan Jiang's promiscuity. I know, but everyone didn't expect that their Marquis Wei actually used his mother-in-law to "entertain" foreign envoys. It was a joke through the ages.
Xuan Jiang's face was extremely pale, and he trembled angrily and said, "You are talking nonsense!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Jiao Hu is not talking nonsense, it doesn't matter."
Xuan Jiang smiled coldly and said, "You know you are afraid now? Someone is here!"
Wu Jiu made Xuan Jiang anxious. In Weiguo, Xuan Jiang only relied on her face. Whether it was beauty or face, it was her.
Xuan Jiang was pulled down by Wu Jiu, and coquettishly wanted to put his arms around Wu Jiu's neck again, saying: "Why, does my younger brother despise my elder sister's old Zhu Huang? Doesn't he like my elder sister?"
Shao Weiji also went around to Wu Zheng's face, posted it step by step, and said with a smile: "My lord, is this concubine serving you?"
Wu Jiu hurriedly stepped back to distance himself from them. One was the elder sister of Young Master Jiu, although because of his status as Young Master Jiu, she was definitely not a real sister, but at such an age, Wu Jiu didn't like it either. Those who are younger than themselves are like birds and people.
Xuan Jiang's wrists are so hot, and his age is so old, it doesn't fit Wu Jiu's aesthetics, even if it's a beauty trick, he doesn't hit the spot.
The other one is a woman of Marquis Qi, or a woman who was divorced by Marquis Qi. Young Wei Ji will pretend to be a jerk, otherwise how can she be promoted from a maid to a concubine?
But Wu Jiao doesn't like to pretend to be sweet, because he will get goose bumps all over his body. Even if Qi Hou said a few gentle and caring words, Wu Jiao would get goose bumps all over his body, let alone twisting the water snake's waist and acting like a baby.
Besides, Wu Jiu didn't know why he was still sharp-eyed in such a dark time. Shaowei Ji might be due to her age. When she twisted her waist, the slack wrinkles on her waist could be revealed by the translucent shirt. Wrinkled in a circle, quite hot eyes.
Wu Jiao bit the bullet and quickly retreated, the two men chased forward, and the three of them retreated into the inner room in an instant. The candles were lit in the inner room, so everyone's sights became brighter at once, and Wu Jiao almost went straight to the room. Cover your eyes, because the eyes are more irritated by the light.
Xuan Jiang and Shao Wei Ji continued to "push forward" diligently, as if they were going to take them away in a wave, Wu Jiu had already retreated to the side of the couch with a "bang", there was really no way to retreat.
Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "My brother's clothes are wet, sister can help you take them off, okay?"
Wu Jiu laughed, "Crack!" He grabbed Xuan Jiang's hand, and said wittily, "How can Sister Lao do this kind of rough work?"
As he spoke, Xuan Jiangjiao laughed, and wanted to fall on him, but Wu Jiao didn't follow, Xuan Jiang fell directly on the couch, although he was taken aback for a while, but he reacted quite quickly, lying on his side on the couch , posed a charming pose, and stretched out her long legs to gesture.
Wu Jiu wanted to support his forehead, but he was afraid of a surprise attack by Shaowei Ji over there, so before Shaowei Ji pounced on him, he hurriedly said: "The two beauties are visiting late at night, I'm afraid there is something important?"
When he said this, Xuan Jiang and Shao Wei Ji were startled, and they looked at each other. Shao Wei Ji didn't seem to have any opinions, and they all depended on Xuan Jiang, but Xuan Jiang grinned and said, "Brother What are you talking about? Why doesn’t my sister know? Come on, the spring night is short, why is my brother pushing back and forth, is it because my sister is not beautiful enough?”
Wu Jiao thought to himself, I will give you [-] points if you get the answer right!
But on his face, he said calmly: "Well, to correct this person towards beautiful women, he likes to be polite first...and then to fight."
Xuan Jiang giggled, then stretched his long legs back and forth, almost blinding Wu Jiu's eyes, and said coquettishly, "How polite? Why... soldiers?"
Wu Jiu coughed, calmed down his mind, and stopped complaining about Xuan Jiang, and said with a smile: "The two sisters explained their purpose of coming here, we get along well, how dare Jiu disappoint the kindness of the two sisters, if it is true If they don't get along, I'm afraid we can only be soldiers?"
Wu Jiuyi said "two sisters" simply because he said it casually, but Shaoweiji's face turned bad because Shaoweiji is really not a "sister", she is a woman of Marquis Qi, even though her son is 14 years old , but she was really no older than Wu Jiu, of course she was unhappy to be called sister, but she didn't say anything.
Looking at Shaoweiji's expression, Wu Jiu realized that he had said something wrong in a moment of impatience, but he really did it subconsciously, because Shaoweiji hadn't taken care of herself well enough to preach. Sure enough, Xuan Jiang was a pampered mother in Weiguo, and Shaowei Wei Ji is just a concubine who can't earn the right wife even if she fights her head, so the treatment is different.
When Xuan Jiang heard this, he smiled faintly, immediately turned over from the couch and sat up, and said with a smile, "Your brother is so cautious."
Wu Jiu said: "It's better to be cautious, because only being cautious can you not be rude, isn't it?"
These two people did have a purpose for coming here late at night. Otherwise, when the Qi State team came over and Qi Hou was in charge, how could they use a beauty trap against their nominal "special envoy"?
Wu Jiu saw it clearly, if he was really a lecherous person, if he slapped his head and broke things directly, then it would be miserable.
Xuan Jiang saw that he and Shaoweiji had no way to use beauty tricks on Wu Jiu, so he had to sit down and said with a smile: "Today I came to see my younger brother, there is indeed an important matter, it must be my younger brother, and no one else can do it." good."
Wu Jiao said with a smile: "My sister loves Jiu too much, but Jiu is not the kind of capable person."
Seeing that Wu Jiu refused before listening, Xuan Jiang didn't like the high hat he was wearing at all, so he could only bite the bullet and say with a dry smile: "The thing is like this..."
As she said, she took out a small red and white stone from her clothes like a magic trick, and placed it gently on the couch. Under the light of the candle, the small stone looked pretty.
Wu Jiao glanced at the stone suspiciously, and couldn't tell what it was, but there was a strange smell, like sulfur, very faint, because Wu Jiao was born with a keen sense of smell and taste, so he could smell it faintly.
Seeing Wu Jiu showing suspicion, Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "Brother, do you know what this is?"
Wu Jiao shook his head, Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "Your brother is so tender, have you never seen this before? This is called... Hedinghong."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he thought that Xuan Jiang had come to seduce him, but he was carrying arsenic?Is this to kill someone?
Hedinghong is actually unprocessed arsenic in ancient times. It is the red letter stone, the raw material of arsenic. Because there is red in the white of red letterstone, it seems to be the crown of a crane head. The ancients are elegant, so it is named Hedinghong. Red is the raw material of arsenic, which is still lethal, and it will be lethal if used in a small amount.
However, the poison of Hedinghong can indeed be tested by silver needles in ancient times, because the red letter stone has not been processed and refined, and it will contain sulfur when it is mined. If the quality is not good, it will also have a slight sulfur smell. , so what Wu Jiu heard just now was not an illusion.
When the silver needle encounters sulfide, it will produce silver sulfide, which is wrapped on the silver needle. Although the ancients did not know the chemical reaction, they also learned how to use the silver needle to test poison.
The method of silver needle poison test, except for dealing with Hedinghong, is actually useless, and after the modern technology matures, the sulfide is purified, and the silver needle can no longer deal with arsenic.
However, the use of poison in ancient times was very limited, and silver needles were usually enough.
Xuan Jiang smiled and said, "Does my brother know what this is for?"
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "It's definitely not what I was told to eat. If I was asked to eat, why would my sister bother so much?"
Xuan Jiangjiao said with a smile: "My brother is so smart, so tell him! This is called my brother, and it's for Marquis Qi to eat!"
As soon as Xuan Jiang said, Wu Jiu broke out in a little cold sweat on his back, thinking that Xuan Jiang was cruel enough, and he actually gave it to Marquis Qi.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Jiu finally figured it out. It must be that at the banquet just now, Wei Hou tried Qi Hou's intention to attack the Zhou Dynasty together, but Qi Hou rejected it. As a result, Wei Hou felt unhappy. On the other hand, I was also afraid that Marquis Qi would leak the news. Attacking other countries and leaking the news would at most make it impossible to fight, but attacking the Zhou Dynasty and leaking the news would be a crime of disrespect.
Perhaps the Zhou Dynasty would randomly assign a few countries to unite to defend the country. After other countries were ordered, it would not be an invasion, but a legitimate and legal crusade. Why would the countries not do it?
Wei Hou didn't expect Qi Hou to refuse. After all, Wei and Qi are inseparable, and the in-law relationship is complicated, but Qi Hou refused immediately, which made Wei Hou very embarrassed and felt the crisis.
In this way, Weihou wanted to kill Qihou to avoid future troubles. After all, Qihou is now in Wei Palace, and there is no better time than this time.
But Wei people can't kill Qihou. If someone finds out, they will definitely be punished by Qi and other countries' "righteous teachers", so Weihou thought of the method of asking Wu Jiu to poison Qihou.
Wu Jiao's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he smiled and said, "Sister, how do you know that Jiao is the most suitable?"
Xuan Jiang smiled and said: "Because my sister knows that you are the elder brother of the Marquis of Qi. After the death of Duke Xiang, you should have inherited the Qi State. I lost my younger brother, now the opportunity is just right, as long as my younger brother can scrape off a little powder of this and put it in his diet, my younger brother will be able to inherit the great unification of the Qi State, and my son will also help my younger brother to raise troops back to Qi. succession of light."
What Xuan Jiang said was better than what he sang. If it was his young master Jiu, his heart would have been moved, but Wu Jiu didn't have this kind of thought, he just said in embarrassment: "But... Jiu's identity... I'm afraid my sister also heard about it. Is that enough?"
Wu Jiao asked vaguely, he wanted to test Xuan Jiang, but he didn't expect Xuan Jiang to be hooked, and said quickly: "What's wrong with my younger brother's identity? Who dares to say anything? Even if my younger brother is really not from Qi, that's okay. At that time, even if my younger brother wants to change Qi Guo's surname, he can do as he pleases."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was very happy, as if everyone knew that he was not Qi Xigong's son, and the green hat worn by Lu Nu on Qi Xigong was too obvious, unlike Qihou's green hat, which was so concealed.
This matter is a handle, and now Xuan Jiang also knows that if he really ascends to the throne, Xuan Jiang will definitely get paid by secretly rubbing the bottom of the pot.
Wu Jiu smiled, showing a look of embarrassment, and said, "This... this..."
Xuan Jiang originally wanted to use the aggressive method, and said, "Isn't it because my brother has no courage?"
Wu Jiu slapped the table and made a "pop", which almost scared Xuan Jiang and Shao Weiji. After all, the two of them came here secretly. They were afraid of being discovered, and Qihou lived next door. It was a big discovery. .
But I heard Wu Jiu say: "The one who knows Jiu, Mo Ruo sister, Jiu has a problem, that is timid!"
Xuan Jiang almost choked to death, but Wu Jiu had something to say, after all, if he didn't pretend to socialize, he might also be regarded as a thorn in the side of Wei Hou Xuan Jiang and the others. Conspiracy is hard to guard against.
Wu Jiu said something later, and said: "But this position, Jiu wants it again."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then..."
Wu Jiu didn't wait for her to finish, and said along the interface: "Then Jiu think about it."
Xuan Jiang was choked by him again, his face turned red, not coquettish, but restrained.
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Big sister, please think carefully for two days. This crane with a red crown should be placed here for Jiu to think about."
Wu Jiu had reached this point, and Xuan Jiang and Shao Wei Ji couldn't stay for long, so they got up and left quietly.
Wu Jiu looked at He Dinghong who was staying on the couch, squinted his eyes, and thought that he needed to think of a way, Wei Hou's grudge, and Xuan Jiang's shrewd appearance, couldn't delay for long.
Wu Jiu was also tired, so he lay down on the couch and went to sleep, and waited for the next morning to talk about it.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Jiu got up early, after all, he was in the palace of the guard, and with Hedinghong as his companion, he didn't sleep well.
He dressed neatly, pushed open the door, and saw two tall eunuchs standing outside the door, they didn't look like serving people, but watching people.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "The two of you are...?"
The two eunuchs said: "I pay homage to Mr. Qi, the breakfast has been served, and the young minister is responsible for leading the adults to have breakfast."
Wu Jiu nodded, looked at the side room, the door was closed, he didn't know if Marquis Qi was there, so he said, "I don't know my widow..."
The eunuch said already: "Young Master, don't worry, the King of Qi is already having breakfast."
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Then I'll have Lao lead the way."
The attitude of the two eunuchs was considered respectful, but they were too tall, and their words were full of confidence. It didn't look like respect, but like coercion.
Wu Jiu walked forward with the two eunuchs, thinking carefully in his heart along the way, could it be that he has been tricked?It stands to reason that he should leave Wei Palace in the morning and go back to the post house. After all, yesterday was a family banquet, and none of the accompanying doctors entered the palace, so it is time to go back to meet up today.
But Weihou's attitude is probably to imprison them in the Wei Palace?
Wu Jiu thought about it, he had already arrived at the dining room, and he saw Qi Hou, who was dressed in a black robe, sitting on the table calmly and having breakfast.
Wu Jiu hurriedly walked over, sat on the opposite side, and bowed to Marquis Qi. Wu Jiu fought wits and courage with two "beauties" last night. It seemed that Marquis Qi slept well and looked good. what to say.
The two finished their breakfast silently, and were about to leave Wei Palace, but the eunuch came over and said that Marquis Wei had something to discuss with them, it was an urgent matter, and he asked them to stay in the palace for a while, because At that time, Marquis Wei was going to the morning court.
So the two were led to the side room of the Lu bedroom, where the display was very simple, a small case, a mat, and two glasses of water on the case. After the two were led in, the eunuch withdrew.
The door closed with a "bang", and the eunuch disappeared.
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Qihou, Qihou drank water calmly, and said with a smile, "Second brother was with a beautiful woman last night, how was it? I just see that second brother's complexion is not good today, could it be that he can't handle the beautiful woman?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he sneered in his heart, thinking that Marquis Qi had known about it a long time ago, no wonder the look in his eyes was quite meaningful just now.
Wu Jiao said flatly: "A beautiful woman is not to my liking."
When Qi Hou heard this, he almost laughed out loud, and put the quilt on the table, Wu Jiu also softly took out a small stone from his bosom, and put it on the table, it was a red crest of a crane.
Qi Hou glanced at it and said, "Why, if the second brother uses it so grandly, I'm afraid it won't work."
Wu Jiao smiled faintly, looked at Qi Hou faintly, his smile was like the spring breeze in March, gentle and comfortable, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty is really joking, if Jiu wants to poison you, I don't know how many pancakes you have eaten, I don't know how many times I was poisoned to death?"
Qihou was choked by him, and stretched out his hand to put the Hedinghong on the table into his sleeve, and said softly: "Okay, it's Gu and Second Brother who are joking..."
He hadn't finished his sentence yet, but Wu Jiao said again: "This joke is not so stubborn."
When Qihou heard this, he said helplessly: "It's my younger brother's fault, why don't I compensate my second brother? Is this feasible?"
Wu Jiu didn't speak, Qihou said in a low voice, "Weihou is afraid that he will put us under house arrest."
Wu Jiu thought to himself, this is all due to your refusal of Marquis Wei's refusal yesterday, but he was dragged into the water for no reason, any fool can see it, Marquis Wei's attitude is different from the one he had when he held the banquet last night. Made a big half-fold reversal.
But now the two of them are alone in the Weiguo Palace, even if Marquis Qi is superb in swordsmanship, he can't break out of the encirclement, I don't know what Marquis Wei has to do to deal with them.
Wu Jiu can only be thankful that last night he pretended to agree and was ambiguous, which also delayed the opportunity.
Seeing that Qi Hou was calm and composed, Wu Jiao said, "Then what can your majesty think of?"
Qihou said with a smile: "I didn't expect that."
Wu Jiu almost sprayed his face with a sip of water, coughed twice before calming down, and glanced at Qi Hou quietly.
On the contrary, Qihou was very calm, and said with a smile: "Since the second brother has delayed Xuan Jiang, there must still be room for conversion. Let's see first."
I'm afraid that's the only way...
Qi Hou and Wu Jiu drank water in the side room, and the first wait turned out to be two hours, four hours, and the whole morning passed. If Wei Hou was going to the morning court, he was really dedicated enough. During this period, the two At the hour, there were only two glasses of water, one for each person, and no water was added.
Wu Jiu stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and took a look outside, there were several eunuchs standing at the door, not letting him go out, saying that they would pour some water, but the eunuchs only agreed, but no one came. move.
Wu Jiao really lost his temper, so he had no choice but to walk back and lie down on the mat to sleep.
After waiting until it was past lunch time, a few eunuchs opened the door and said with a smile: "The king of Qi, son of Qi, I am really sorry, there is a sudden military incident in the palace, widow Your Majesty is discussing matters with the senior officials in the Lu Palace, please go back to your room to rest for a while, and at dinner time, Duke Wei invites you to a banquet to make amends."
It sounded good, but in fact it was playing tricks on them, making them wait for several hours, but Wei Hou didn't come, so he might have done something, anyway, Wu Jiu didn't believe that he was discussing matters.
Moreover, they were not allowed to leave the palace. There was a banquet at night, and when the banquet started, it was midnight, and the gate of the palace was closed, and they were not allowed to leave the palace.
If they came and went like this, they were put under house arrest in the palace, and the people in the Qi State team couldn't contact them, so they must have been prevaricated.
After hearing this, Qi Hou was not in a hurry, he stood up, walked out of the side room, and went back to his room to rest.
Wu Jiu wanted to go into Marquis Qi's room to discuss with him, but the eunuch didn't allow it. The two of them were "sent" into the room as if they were criminals, and the door was closed to prevent them from coming out.
Wu Jiu went into the room, lay down on the couch and looked at the roof, he even saved his lunch, Weihou's arrogance is quite ruthless.
Thinking about it, Wu Jiao felt a little hungry, so he simply closed his eyes and went to sleep, since there was nothing to do in being locked up here anyway.
Wu Jiao slept for a long time, fell asleep, and heard someone knocking on the door, and someone called him outside. Wu Jiao didn't wake up, so he didn't answer the door. People outside probably thought Wu Jiao He ran away, "Boom!" He rushed in directly through the door, rushed into the inner room and saw that Wu Jiao was sleeping with the quilt in his arms, his face twitching.
Only then did Wu Jiu open his eyes, and said unhurriedly, "What's the matter? Have you eaten?"
The eunuch said: "The widow invites the king of Qi and the son of Qi to go to the banquet."
Wu Jiu let out an "oh" and said unhurriedly, "I want to wash and change clothes, you go out first."
Those eunuchs looked at each other in blank dismay, Wu Jiao refused to leave, he lay on the bed and pretended to be dead, insisted on washing and changing clothes, the eunuch had no choice, after all, this was just house arrest, and force could not be used.
The eunuch had no choice but to get hot water and let Wu Jiao take a bath. Wu Jiao spent more than half an hour bathing, half an hour getting dressed, and two hours passed in a blink of an eye. Qihou there seemed to have a tacit understanding, not only To bathe, but also incense.
The two of them tossed about for two hours before they were all clean and tidy. Shi Shi ran out of the room and just happened to see each other. go forward.
The two were walking slowly, Weihou himself wanted to show them off and let them wait another hour at the banquet, but it didn't work out, Weihou's thoughts had been seen through by Wu Jiu and Qihou, Weihou and Xuan Jiang arrived During the banquet, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou Leng didn't come.
Wei Hou was so angry, he waited for a while, and wanted to leave the table angrily, then he saw Qi Hou and Wu Jiao walking over slowly, Wu Jiao saw Wei Hou's face turned black, and finally he felt better, and found some Changzi smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Wei is really polite. It's a waste of money to invite you to a banquet for two days."
Marquis Wei's expression was ugly, and he said coldly: "You two, please take your seats."
Everyone sat down, there were still very few people at today's banquet, even Shao Weiji was gone, there were only Wei Hou, Xuan Jiang, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou. In the case of Hou, there are very few cases.
Wu Jiu just smiled faintly, and said, "Jiao once heard that Wei Guo's agricultural affairs were backward, and seeing him today, I'm afraid he cleaned up all the dishes in the dining room yesterday, and that's why today it's so... so simple?"
Hearing Wu Jiu's irony, Marquis Wei picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Wei State is not as rich as Qi State, and Qi State has a son who knows how to cook. A son who knows how to cook."
As he spoke, he seemed to be in high spirits, he laughed wildly, and said confidently: "I heard that Young Master Jiu Lishan is more powerful than the cooks in Qi Palace, is there such a thing?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "It's not that Jiu is bragging, I'm afraid there is no one in Wei Palace who can surpass Jiu in craftsmanship."
Marquis Wei laughed, and said, "Okay, okay! Why don't you show your hand to Gu?"
Yesterday he said that he was a son, and his uncle was his father, and each uncle was one father, but now he is so unscrupulous, one mouth one you, but Wu Jiao is not angry, he just smiled and said: "This is not so difficult, but today is not right, Jiao I want to prepare some ingredients and condiments."
When Wei Hou heard this, he clapped his hands repeatedly, and said: "Okay! That's up to you! Another day, how about two days later? Two days later, I will invite all the officials to have a banquet, so that the officials of Wei State will also come to pay their respects to Qi State Young master's craftsmanship, if the food is good, there will be rewards, if the food is not good...what do you think?"
Wei Hou's voice was very contemptuous and frivolous, Qi Hou listened, and squinted his eyes, a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Wu Jiu just raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "Whatever Duke Wei wants, he can do it, how about it?"
When Wei Hou heard this, he felt itchy in his heart. He laughed loudly and said: "You said this, I will remember it, and I must never break my promise."
The more Marquis Wei talked, the more lewd he became, perhaps because he had already isolated the two of them in the palace, so he was particularly confident, and he didn't have to put on airs, so he became unscrupulous, talking vulgarly and without manners.
Sure enough, it was midnight when the banquet was over, the gate of the palace had already been closed, and Wu Jiu and Qihou were sent back to their room by the eunuch.
Early the next morning, an eunuch knocked on the door, saying that Wu Jiu was to go to the dining room to prepare ingredients and condiments, and Wei Hou would have a banquet for Doctor Qing tomorrow night.
Wu got up, and was taken unhurriedly by the eunuch to the dining room, as if he was a prisoner, without any freedom.
Knowing the entrance of the dining room, those eunuchs didn't go in. They guarded the door and asked the cook to lead Wu Jiao in.
All the cooks in Wei Palace knew that Marquis of Wei hired a prince from the state of Qi to cook, and he had to cook for all the high officials in the state of Wei. This was clearly a humiliation, and even the cooks knew it.
Because this was clearly a humiliation, the cooks treated Wu Jiu in a very lazy and negligent manner, and just led him in.
Sergeant Shanfu said with a condescending look, "Remember, there should be no aquatic products in the dishes for your majesty. Your majesty does not accept aquatic products, but there must be aquatic products in the dishes for the mother of the country. The mother of the country loves aquatic products."
Wu Jiao listened, it turns out that Weihou is allergic to seafood?It really didn't take much effort, Wu Jiu still wanted to rack his brains to prepare some dishes, now it's done, it's aquatic products.
This day Wu Jiu had been soaking in the dining room, no cook took care of him, he had to cook the fire by himself, but after he cooked the meal, a cook would come to taste it, and then check whether it was poisonous.
Wu Jiao naturally didn't poison, because poisoning is a big deal, and the poisons these days are not killing people invisible, so naturally he wouldn't use such a stupid method, Wu Jiao has a simpler method.
Qihou rested in his room for a day, and Wu Jiao prepared for the day in the dining room. On the second morning, Qihou was still in the room, and Wu Jiu was still in the dining room. Several eunuchs followed him, as if they were watching Same.
Soon it was time to set up the banquet, and the Marquis of Wei gave an order that all the high officials, civil and military officials in Weiguo came to the palace for the banquet.
Today, Marquis Wei wanted Qi Hou and Wu Jiu to look ugly, so he deliberately made a show of his power, and it was more than that.
Because although Wu Jiu accepted the Hedinghong, he did not respond for a long time, and Weihou was already impatient. He was afraid that Qihou would leak the news that he was going to attack the Zhou Dynasty, so he planned to arrange today's banquet as a "Hongmen Banquet". , First to humiliate Wu Jiu, and second to kill Qihou.
The banquet was very grand, after all there were so many high officials coming, and all the elite soldiers of Wei Gongzhong were dispatched, lurking around, there was a feeling of tension.
Wu Jiao was quite leisurely in the dining room, cooking the last dish, this was a dish that Weiguo had never tasted, even Qihou had never tasted it, it was a famous snack called Chicken Wing Wrapped Rice.
Roasted chicken wings are golden and oily, smelling fragrant, with burnt skin on the outside and tender meat inside, with layers of taste, and this chicken wing is different from ordinary chicken wings, because after biting the meat, there is no The bones, but there is still a ball of rice inside. From the outside, it is just a slightly bulging chicken wing. I did not expect that there is a layer of colorful rice inside.
The glutinous rice is mixed with diced meat and diced vegetables. After careful ingredients, the glutinous rice has a good taste. I don’t know what is in the soft glutinousness. It is also very springy and full of salty fragrance.
After Wu Jiao made this chicken wrapping rice dish, he put the round and golden chicken wings in a special slate pot, put the lid on, and it was ready to be served.
The slate can keep warm, and the chicken wings are grilled to a little bit more fragrant. When they are served on the table, the lid is lifted. This humble snack must be the most fragrant one among all the dishes.
Everything was ready, Wu Jiu was taken to the table by the eunuch, Qi Hou was already there, Wu Jiu walked over, Qi Hou glanced at him, the two looked at each other, and quickly looked away .
Right after Weihou came, Weihou and Xuan Jiang came out together, and behind him was Xuan Jiang's current husband who didn't often show his face. Today's people can be said to be complete.
The banquet was set up in the largest palace in the Lu bedroom, so many people, all the ministers came, it was very grand, it seemed that they all came to see the jokes of Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu.
Marquis Wei wanted to embarrass them. Think about it, it would be embarrassing for Mr. Qi to cook for all the ministers of Wei. If it was spread, wouldn't it be laughed at by other countries?
Marquis Wei sat down very proudly, and said with a smile: "Today is a happy day. I heard that the young master of Qi State is a great talent, can cook meals, and the taste is delicious. Today, all the ministers are blessed. All the lords prepare the meal, please have a taste and a taste."
The ministers of the state of defense responded one after another, and looked at Wu Jiu with contempt.
Wu Jiu remained calm, and soon the maids filed in and placed meals on the cases of Marquis Wei, Xuan Jiang and other high officials.
The dishes are all laid out, and the maid puts the lid on the slate pot a little, and there is a sound of "stinging, stinging". The slate is very insulated, and the chicken wings in the special pot are golden, and when the lid is lifted, there is a fragrant smell of meat As they came towards them, everyone fell silent for a moment. They quickly took a few deep breaths and stretched their heads to smell the fragrance. It was really fragrant and very different.
But I saw a few golden chicken wings in the dark stone pot, each of which was much larger than ordinary chicken wings, round and bulging, especially the skin of the chicken wings, which was stretched so round that it was called a round shape. It seems to be full of reflections.
The smell of burnt and salty fragrance instantly permeated the entire road bedroom, and everyone was attracted just by smelling the smell.
Wei Hou seemed a little impatient, and immediately took a bite of the scorched chicken bao rice with his chopsticks. It was hot and a little bit hot, but it was so delicious that he couldn't care less about whether it was hot or not.
The skin is yellow and bright, the chicken skin itself is oily and greasy, and soft. If you look closely, there are still some goose bumps on it, but after Wu Jiao's treatment, the roast is golden and golden, and all the excess oil is baked out. On the contrary, it is extremely delicious, with a strong burnt aroma in the mouth, it is crispy and thin, and the taste buds are instantly opened.
Bite off the golden skin on the outside, and the tender and even slippery chicken inside is exposed. It is so tender, and the crispy skin on the outside forms a texture that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Marquis Wei thought that the taste was going to disappear, and was trying to find fault, but he continued to bite in. Surprisingly, the chicken wing had no bones. It turned out that it was not a simple chicken wing, and the chicken wing was stuffed with rice.
The appearance of the chicken wings has not been damaged at all, but the inside is bulging, stuffed with rice, a burst of heat rises from the bitten chicken, and the rice fragrance inside erupts.
Marquis Wei was taken aback, staring at the chicken wings for a long time, the rice inside was also very strange, very salty and fragrant, it should be seasoned with chicken broth or bone broth, and the rice was soft but not sticky to the teeth, and it was accompanied by some crunchiness Raw vegetables and crushed diced meat are really delicious.
Unexpectedly, a chicken wing has hidden universe inside.
Marquis Wei wanted to find fault, but he couldn't find the problem. He didn't care whether it was hot or not, and ate three of them viciously while hissing!
Seeing that Wei Hou looked like he had never eaten, Xuan Jiang really had no idea, and wanted him to eat more slowly, but he took a bite himself, and his eyes widened. It was really delicious, and Xuan Jiang ate a chicken wing directly. relieved.
Marquis Wei ate three of them, still feeling unsatisfied, so he asked the eunuch to bring him two more stone pots, and then he said with a smile: "Young Master Qi's craftsmanship is really extraordinary, you should try it too."
As soon as everyone heard this, they quickly started to move their chopsticks. As soon as the lid of the stone pot was lifted, everyone could smell the fragrance, and they were already ready to move, but Wei Hou didn't say to open the table, so they didn't dare to eat.
With this order, everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and ate wildly, everyone was full of praise, and the hall was full of exclamations for a while.
Wei Hou ate three more in one go, making a total of six, his face was flushed with oil, his mouth was full of oil, Wu Jiao saw with a smile that he was going to eat the seventh, and then he opened his mouth.
Wu Jiu said unhurriedly: "Jiao still remembers that Duke Wei said that if you do well, you will be rewarded."
When Wei Hou heard this, he didn't put down the chicken wings in his hand, continued to eat, and said with a smile: "Naturally there will be rewards, naturally there will be rewards, but you just say so."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "In that case, please ask Wei Gong to let Qi's troops go abroad by way."
Marquis Wei himself was smiling, and hearing Wu Jiu say this suddenly, it seemed as if Qi and Wei were torn apart in an instant, and they began to confront each other blatantly.
Marquis Wei has been delaying them from leaving the palace, one reason is that he wants to put them under house arrest and prevent Marquis Qi from leaving, fearing that they will leak the news of attacking the Zhou Dynasty.
On the other hand, he also wanted to delay their time and prevent them from going to the funeral. It would be disrespectful to miss the time for the funeral, and Wei Hou was planning for this.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jiu's flirtatious words would be uncovered in such a way, Wei Hou's face twitched, and he almost couldn't even eat the chicken wings.
Marquis Wei smiled dryly and said: "Look at what the young master said, it's not that I don't want them to borrow the way, but that the two uncles finally came to Weiguo, and I want to do my best to treat the two uncles as a landlord. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by others, and you will think that the lonely country of Wei is shabby."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's quite shabby."
"what?"
Wei Hou didn't hear Wu Jiu's words clearly for a moment, because no one could say that.
Wu Jiu repeated: "Jiao said...Wei State is quite shabby, a great country, and only two meals a day are given to the widow and Jiu, morning and evening. Do you think it is shabby? Not only meals, but daily actions are also restricted. , the huge palace of Wei does not allow guests to move around, do you think it is shabby or not? The beauty who entertained the envoys is your own mother, Duke Wei, do you think... is it shabby or not?"
When he said these three sentences, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know what kind of unclean food Wu Jiao ate, but suddenly he became so sharp. Everyone in Weiguo knew about Xuan Jiang's promiscuity. I know, but everyone didn't expect that their Marquis Wei actually used his mother-in-law to "entertain" foreign envoys. It was a joke through the ages.
Xuan Jiang's face was extremely pale, and he trembled angrily and said, "You are talking nonsense!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Jiao Hu is not talking nonsense, it doesn't matter."
Xuan Jiang smiled coldly and said, "You know you are afraid now? Someone is here!"
Wu Jiu made Xuan Jiang anxious. In Weiguo, Xuan Jiang only relied on her face. Whether it was beauty or face, it was her.
