spring and autumn officials

Gongsunzi asked his servants to place a bean feast on the empty field of the camp, and invited all the senior officials who were traveling with him to have the feast. In fact, the purpose was very clear, and it was Sima Zhao's heart—everyone knew it.

That is, it is shabby for the sacrificial teeth.

Gongsun Zidu's methods are not without viciousness. Although the little gentleman Ji is only a young concubine in the team of seeing off his relatives, many people fawn on him because his uncle is the minister of sacrifice under Zheng Guo. As a result, the send-off team was divided into two factions, one was the Gongzu Party headed by Gongsun Zidu, and the other was the Qing Clan Party headed by Sacrifice Ya.

In fact, to be honest, although Ji Ya is a bit of a "bully", he has no evil intentions. , How did you get along with a young concubine all these years, and there is no first class so far?

It is precisely because Ji Ya doesn't have too much thoughtfulness and is easy to get along with, so Qi Lu "favored" Ji Ya and became "relatives" with Ji Ya. Qi Lu's principle of making friends is very simple, that is, he is afraid of trouble Well, people with too many thoughts are troublesome, they are afraid of being stabbed in the back, and they have to guard against it, so people like Ji Ya are just right.

Ji Ya is a typical "silly white sweet". In fact, he didn't know that he was being used as a gun by the Qing clan, and those Qing clans also used the name of Ji Ya to show off their power in the procession because of their ease of use .

All these kinds of human feelings and sophistication are mixed together, so Gongsunzi wants to use the "humble" bean to establish his prestige, to sacrifice teeth, and also to give the Qing clan a disarm, and establish his status and prestige in the big business.

Gong and grandson are all very sure, Shudou is Shudou, lowly is lowly, how can they jump over the dragon gate?It's a pity that Gongsunzi met the wrong person, who told him to meet Qi Lu?

The bean banquet was ready soon, and the doctors and officials had already had their dinner. After all, it was getting late at this time, and they would go to bed in a while. The big guy was called out temporarily, and everyone knew that the grandson and grandson were worried. What do you mean, I didn't dare to make mistakes, and all sat down peacefully.

Qi Lu put the little dog in his tent. After all, there were high-ranking officials and dignitaries at the Shu Dou Banquet. Qi Lu was afraid that the little dog would bump into others, so he went to the banquet after he settled down.

The little dog shook his ears, Qi Lu walked forward, his hind legs immediately became restless, "swish, swish" walked out of the tent with his short legs, head held high, and followed Qi Lu to the banquet .

As soon as Prince Lin passed by, his "dog eyes" widened immediately. His big black eyes wished they could look like copper hammers. His two dog ears also stood up, looking overly frightened. His two short little front paws He also lifted it up and stood on the ground.

I saw a woman, surrounded by maids, heading for the banquet of the Bean Banquet.

When Prince Lin saw the momentum of the battle, he immediately let go of his maid, wagging his tail all the way, and rushed towards the banquet in a hurry.Qi Lu was arranging for the cooks to prepare a meal. A black shadow, in this era of cold weapons, was like a small cannonball "Boom!" directly stuck in Qi Lu's arms.

Qi Lv staggered backwards, his slender body was almost injured internally, he quickly hugged the small cannonball in his arms, and looked down, it was a son of a dog!

The little dog bumped into Qi Lu's arms, biting his robe, barking "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" as if trying to drag Qi Lu away, looking like a mad dog.

Qi Lu didn't know what the little dog was talking about, so he stroked Prince Lin's dog's head comfortingly, and said, "Good boy, Dad will play with you later."

"Ooooooooooo!"

Prince Lin: What are you stubborn about?Later is later!

Qi Lv still couldn't understand the little dog's words, but felt that his son was a little restless today, could it be... taking advantage of the late spring weather, the dog's son was in spring?

Prince Lin only felt that Qi Lu's eyes were strange, but he didn't know how he was slandering himself in his heart. Just when Prince Lin was in a hurry to get angry, the woman who was surrounded by maids entered the banquet.

Qi Lv only saw a young woman, roughly in appearance, about Pingting's age, graceful and graceful like a lotus flower in a pond, with a soft air in her coldness, full of ladylike air, if placed in modern times, It must be a proper noble lady.

This woman's appearance is very stunning, and she has a sense of nobility, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, and she has a natural melancholy look, which can arouse a man's desire to protect. It can be said that she is the most beautiful woman Qi Lu has ever seen. , not only glamorous, but also has a good temperament, you can forget the vulgarity when you see it seriously.

It's just that such a woman is not suitable for Qi Lu. Qi Lu felt that falling in love was too troublesome, and he has no desire to fall in love so far. If he is allowed to fall in love, he might as well make a few more hot movies.Secondly, such a lovely and pitiful woman is like a precious flower, which needs to be cared for carefully, and it can't be cared for with care, but it needs to be done with a lot of money and a big price.

Qi Lv was afraid of trouble, and also had no money, so he just admired it without any extra thoughts.

Qi Lu glanced at the beautiful woman indifferently, then turned his head quickly, without taking another look, and continued to order the cook to serve the meal, who would have known that this glance, Qi Lu established the "big pig's hoof" in the hearts of everyone. "The image of a scumbag.

Because this beautiful woman is either someone else, or the younger sister of Ji Xiang, Ji's surname, Ji's family, and a native of Zheng Guo, she is honored as Zheng Ji.

Ji Ya was very happy in his heart, and he had imagined dozens of times that his grandson had eaten the bean feast, with a surprised expression on his face, apologizing to himself with a low eyebrow, willing to be a cow and a horse, he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear. Walking into the banquet, he saw Zheng Ji at a glance.

"Hey!" Ji Ya gasped, rushed to Qi Lu, and grabbed Qi Lu's sleeve robe, the movement was exactly the same as that of a little dog.

Just now Qi Lu couldn't understand Prince Lin's "dog talk", but now Ji Ya is speaking in human terms.

Ji Ya was furious, lowered his voice, and said like a thief: "Brother, it's Auntie! Zheng Ji, Zheng Ji!"

Only then did Qi Lu suddenly realize why the woman stared at him strangely, it was the eyes of a scumbag!

Women these days are not like women in the Song Dynasty.During the Spring and Autumn Period, the folk customs were open, and it was possible for a woman to marry twice and three times. As long as she had the ability, let alone show her face, even mastering the state affairs was within easy reach.Ai Jiang, Xuan Jiang, and Qi Jiang, who were well-known in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, are not the strange women who turned all living beings upside down and ruled the princes?

Gong and grandson all entertained everyone, so it is reasonable for Zheng Ji to come to the banquet...

Ji Ya said anxiously: "Otherwise... Brother, why don't you avoid it for a while?"

Qi Lu sighed in his heart, this was a disaster, and he didn't want to be a scumbag himself, but there was no reason for this incident, if he confessed to Zheng Ji, he would be regarded as a monster by others, and he might be "dissected" by the witch doctor ", maybe he will be sacrificed. In comparison, he can only be a scumbag.

Compared with the impatience of Prince Lin and Ji Ya, Qi Lu, the "scumbag", was much calmer, and said, "Don't worry, if Lu leaves now, he will be alone with Zheng Ji instead, and he might as well stay at the banquet. miscellaneous."

Zheng Ji asked her maid to invite Qi Lu before, and if Qi Lu leaves the banquet, Zheng Ji will definitely follow. By then, everyone will be at the banquet, and only the two of them will have a "private meeting" outside. , it's better to stay at the banquet, with so many people, Zheng Ji will definitely not come here in front of others.

While talking, Gongsunzi was a big pedestrian and came late. He walked into the banquet, glanced at Zheng Ji, who was beside him, and then at Qi Lu, with a smile on his lips, which meant a lot Obviously, Gongsunzi wanted to come and heard the love story between Qi Lu and Zheng Ji, so he laughed a little bit.

Gongsunzi didn't talk nonsense, and said lightly: "Let's open the table."

The servants came in one file at a time, and placed all kinds of bean meals at the banquet. Because the grandson and grandson were all excited at the moment, they wanted everyone to taste them together. All these delicacies were taught to the cooks, and the cooks worked together to prepare the banquet.

Doctors Qing had already eaten their dinner, and they were not hungry at all, so they were asked to eat humble beans. Doctors Qing kept their identities, their faces were full of disdain, they were extremely tired, and they didn’t even want to eat more. Take a look at the food in Chengpan.

However, as soon as Chengpan opened the cover...

"What's the smell? It seems...it seems a little spicy?"

"What is the name of this soup, white jade like silk, vast and magnificent!"

"Have you ever tasted this jade/milk, it melts in your mouth, like a beauty piercing into the bone, the sugar water is sweet but not greasy, this... what is it?"

More than half of the senior officials present here have been doing big business all year round, that is to say, they have been engaged in diplomatic activities all the year round, wandering among the vassal states, and have seen the delicacies and customs of various countries. They can be said to be well-informed. He has become a stunned young man who has never seen the world.

Gongsunzi wanted to see Ji Ya make a fool of himself, with a graceful smile on his face, but he heard the sound of tsk tsk during the banquet, his jade-like face slowly cracked, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and the corners of his lips were pressed down Come down, I have to say that even if a handsome person is angry, it is also a gift from God.

This Zheng Jimei is beautiful, but compared with Gongsunzi, although there are differences between men and women, I still feel that Gongsunzi is better.

The corners of Gongsunzi's lips were all set, and his smile disappeared. With his broad palm, he lifted the lid of Chengpan himself, and with a small dagger, which is the most common food utensil "bronze spoon" these days, he scooped up a little bit of salted tofu brain and put it in in the mouth.

Gongsunzi has received a good education since he was a child, so he is very particular about his meals, and his manner of eating is also very eye-catching, well-behaved and gentle. He only took a sip, and his eyes suddenly widened. Under the deep eyes.

The doctor Qing around him is not as well-educated as him, and it is the first time to eat such delicious food. Some doctors like salty food, so they added a bowl of salty tofu nao; It’s not greasy; some doctors like to see spicy food. Mapo tofu is covered on the rice and poured with a small dagger and thick thickening soup. The white rice instantly becomes red and charming. The entrance is salty and pungent, two words - dinner!

These high officials, who had eaten dinner and lacked interest, turned out to be like wolves who had been hungry for three days. Biting the spicy slices with the tofu curd in small mouthfuls, he hissed from time to time, but he couldn't bear to put it down.

Seeing that the momentum was out of his control, Gongsunzi squinted his eyes slightly, sneered, and threw the dagger into the small bronze beans with salty tofu, and said lightly: "Young bastard, although these meals are delicious Not bad, but I'm afraid none of them are made of beans?"

"Haha!" When Ji Ya was asked this question, he immediately put his hips on his hips and laughed, wishing he could just lean back and say, "I don't know much! These meals are all made of soybeans, without exception. The delicacy in your old hand, Da Xingren, is called Xian... Xian... Xiandoudou!"

Ji Ya was so busy eating, he forgot the name of salty tofu nao, so he temporarily gave it another name.

"Ouch..."

Prince Lin stared at Ji Ya with disgust, and shook his head.

Qi Lv made Ji Ya laugh, but also salty Doudou, what's so cute?

Ji Ya had a big red face, because he couldn't report the name of the dish, he gave Qi Lu a wink, Qi Lu took a steady step forward, and saluted respectfully, so that all the officials couldn't pick a single dish Ci'er came and said, "My lords, my lords, and my villain, Qi Lu, let me tell you the names of the dishes for this banquet."

Qi Lu reported the names of the dishes one by one. Doctor Qing obviously looked down on Qi Lu, a little bastard, and joked casually, "Young bastard Qi, I heard that this is a bean feast. Elegant?"

After hearing this, Qi Lu was not angry at Doctor Qing's embarrassment, but neither humble nor overbearing, neither hasty nor impatient, and did not immediately answer Doctor Qing's question, and asked a question in a calm tone: "I don't know Da Xingren, and you, my lords, , Do you think the sweet bean curd is better, or the salty bean curd is better."

"Sweet!"

"It's sweet."

"No, I personally think salty food is better."

"That's right, salty food is good."

"Otherwise, sweets are more delicious."

Although the doctors didn't know why Qi Lu was so rhetorical, they were immediately brought up by Qi Lu, and they devoted themselves to the salty-sweet dispute. Sure enough, this salty-sweet taste has been an undying object since ancient times. Big topic!

Qi Lv smiled, and because these officials were sympathetic, he said slowly: "Salty tofu nao and sugar water bean curd are actually 'learned from the same school', but the seasoning is different in the later stage, so they evolved into different tastes. Sweet There are sweet benefits, and salty tastes, all of you are old Zheng people who are the ministers of my Zheng country, but the tastes are different, so why force others?"

Gongsunzi closed his eyes, he was so smart that he knew there was something in Qi Lu's words.

Sure enough, Qi Lu continued: "The dispute between the sweet party and the salty party is like the Qing clan and the public clan in the country. They are born from the same root, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Salty is more fresh when it is served with sugar, and sweeter when it is served with salt." The sweeter it is..."

Shaped salt is the salt used by nobles. These days, ordinary people can also eat salt, but it is bitter salt.Loose salt is the salt used by the nobles. This shape salt is to mold loose salt into shapes, most of which are in the shape of tigers, and are used to sacrifice to heaven and earth to show respect.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "That's why Lu dared to say that this banquet is not a bean feast, but a banquet for officials. May I ask you, is what Lu said makes sense?"

Gongsunzi squinted his eyes, his eyes fixed on Qi Lu, but he didn't speak immediately.

This is not over yet, Qi Lu continued: "Again, when it comes to this bean, most people only know that the bean is humble and humble, but they don't understand the deliciousness of it. A gentleman is good at fakes. Heroes don't ask about their backgrounds. What does a bean look like when it grows up?" , is not something that can be controlled by oneself, but what kind of virtue is formed can be controlled by the day after tomorrow.”

Gongsunzi once used Shudou as a metaphor for the "humble" Qing clan, and now Qi Lu also uses Shudou as a metaphor. Beans are not cheap.

Doctors Qing only knew delicious food before, and after eating a little, now that they heard it, they couldn't help feeling that the tofu, spicy slices, and soy milk were all stuck in their stomachs, and their faces became more and more embarrassing.

Ji Ya listened to Qi Lv say a lot, half understood, but took advantage of this opportunity, grabbed two big spicy slices, stuffed them into his mouth, almost choked himself, his neck was stuck, and there were seasonings hanging from the corner of his mouth , coughing and said: "No... That's right, Young Master Qi is right!"

Gongsunzi was still squinting his eyes, staring at Qi Lu closely, his eyes were like a beast, his eyes were bottomless, and he didn't know whether it was joy or anger, just when Ji Ya thought that Gongsunzi was going to make trouble, how could he? Knowing that Gongsun Zidu suddenly laughed.

"Ah……"

It wasn't a sneer, but a real laugh. He unfolded his black sleeves, clapped his palms "papa" according to the case, and said, "Okay, well said, I've lost, and I'm so convinced."

Ji Ya was dumbfounded. Although he had imagined dozens of scenes where Gongsunzi knelt down and begged for mercy, most of them were for self-entertainment. He never thought that Gongsunzi would be so forthright that he would admit defeat in one gulp. .

In fact, Gongsunzi is indeed narrow-minded, but he is not unreasonable. Today's rules were set by him, and he didn't want to be slapped in the face. Although Gongsunzi was slapped in the face, he felt very refreshing.

He smiled and said: "My son has never been convinced, Qi Shaoshu, today I am... convinced and oral to you."

He said, and made a gift.

Qi Lv immediately returned the salute. He won against Da Xingren, but he didn't show any arrogance. He just smiled and said, "The Da Xingren speaks seriously, and the Da Xingren wins and loses with ease. This is the style of my old Zheng."

Ji Ya's eyes rolled wildly, although he didn't understand what was going on, he happily said: "You promised before, if you lose, you owe me one..." Favor.

Before he could finish his words, Gongsunzi had already said to Qi Lu without squinting: "You keep your word. If you lose today, you owe Qi Lu a favor. Whatever you ask, you will answer." !"

Ji Ya: "..." It hurts to make a passionate face...

Both Gong and grandson lost their bets, but he was inexplicably cheerful today. Firstly, he felt that he and Qi Lu were out of temper. Let the grandsons eat very comfortably. Because the grandsons are busy with official duties, they feel stomach pains when they eat anything. Over time, the stomach problems worsen, and they don’t want to eat anything.

The banquet quickly came to an end, and the officials present lost to a little young concubine. Not everyone could afford to lose like Gongsunzi, but no matter whether they could afford to lose or not, the dishes on the banquet were not bad at all. For the rest, even the soy milk was drunk!

Qi Lu heaved a sigh of relief, a table of tofu banquet, not only in exchange for a little gentleman as a backer, but also in exchange for a favor from a big pedestrian, it can be said to be very rewarding.

Doctors Qing all dispersed one after another. Just when Qi Lu breathed a sigh of relief, the little dog started biting his clothes again. Qi Lu gained experience and looked up...

It's Zheng Ji!

The crowd cleared up, but Zheng Ji hadn't left the table yet, she came over, her voice soft, with a trace of mourning, softly calling: "Brother Lu."

Brother Green?

Qi Lu thought to himself, this nickname for himself, maybe it's not a good color?

Qi Lu saw Zheng Ji approaching, although his face was calm and fearless, but he had no idea in his heart, no matter what, Zheng Ji was going to marry Luo Shi, if she was married to the new emperor The fiancée is unclear, let alone troublesome, her head will be lost at any time.

Qi Lv coughed and wanted to find fault and get away. At this moment, there was a messy sound from the camp. Somebody clashed with the soldiers guarding the gate outside the camp.

Qi Lu said wittily: "What happened in front, Lu will go and see."

As he spoke, he immediately took big steps, and ran away under Zheng Ji's resentful gaze...

The grandsons and grandsons who had just entered the shogunate also came out and said, "What's the matter?"

The soldier quickly reported back, saying: "Your Excellency! A large number of refugees are making trouble outside the camp. They want to rob the army of food and wages, but they have been stopped by the humble generals."

While talking, "Gulu!" A black shadow came in from between the fences of the barracks. The black shadow was not much bigger than a small dog, and rushed over like a small ground, "little yo" Boom!" A sound just hit Qi Lu's calf.

"Come on!"

Before Qi Lu could react, the little black shadow had already hugged Qi Lu's calf tightly.

Everyone looked down and saw that it was a little doll, and the little doll was only three years old. Its round and tender face was as white and tender as a bean flower, but its face was dirty and stained with a lot of dust. The eyes are not too big, and they are slightly narrow and elongated. They are shining like stars, and they are quite spiritual. At such a young age, you can tell that you are a handsome embryo, and you will definitely be a handsome man when you grow up.

Xiaodoubao hugged Qi Lu's calf, and didn't let go, making Qi Lu a little confused.Rao was Qi Lu who was articulate, quick-witted and fickle in front of all the senior officials just now, and there was something that made him even more confused.

Then I saw Xiaodou bandaged on Qi Lu's leg, tears fell as soon as she said it, there was a storm coming, and the white rain was sobbing in a milky voice: "Woo, woo-woo-Daddy, don't be petty!" Are you clear?"

"Aww?" The little dog's ears instantly stood up, as if its fur had exploded, and a pair of black eyes stared at Qi Lu.

Qi Lu: "..." After being happy to be a scumbag, I am happy to be a father...
