Talking to nonsense about Sang Ma [system]

The scene was embarrassing.

Fu Zangzhou thinks so.

"Big brother" must not be yelling randomly, but the other party looked like an elder, and he couldn't find a suitable and rebuttable response for a while.

Only silence.

The person who came didn't wait for a reply, he seemed a little puzzled, and turned his head slightly as if thinking of something, and glanced at the middle-aged man who followed him.

The middle-aged man understood his eyes, but he was obviously hesitant.

Fu Zangzhou: "..."

The atmosphere is very eccentric.Oh, where is Brother Zhen?I haven't seen anyone for a long time, where did they go?

"What are you in a daze for?" The visitor lightly reprimanded.

Some teenagers who were distracted came back to their senses in shock, and then realized that the other party was not talking about themselves.

The middle-aged man who was reprimanded seemed a little helpless, and took a peek at a certain ghost king who was so stupid.

Fu Zangzhou had a blank face.

What about pantomime? !

And myself, why am I standing here so stupidly?

The man considered to be the "elder" stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man: "Take it out."

The middle-aged man didn't dare to delay any longer, and hastily took out a brocade bag from the armhole.

The "elder" personally handed the brocade bag to him: "Take it."

What the hell?

The middle-aged man quietly gave the young man a wink: "Your New Year's money, Hurry up and accept it, sir."

Eh? ?

Before Fu Zangzhou could respond, the "elder" scolded, but his tone contained no trace of anger: "I'm so stupid, I'll give you the New Year's money at Zhengdan." He then briefly explained to the young man, "Changing your mouth."

Confused.

It was a certain ghost king who was not in the state.

The middle-aged man who was "old and foolish" patted his mouth lightly, and laughed along with him: "Yes, you little fool, you actually said the wrong thing." Then he persuaded him in a daze, and refused to take the brocade bag The young man said, "Master is kind, I hope Lang Junmo will refuse."

no.What the hell does this "change of mouth fee" mean?

If he didn't understand, he wouldn't dare to collect it indiscriminately!

Fu Zangzhou was tangled.

In his hometown, only when a man and a woman are engaged, will the parents of both parties say "change fee"... Could it be that in Yuguo, what does "change fee" mean?

"Brother."

When someone was at a loss, Brother Zhen, whom he had been thinking about, arrived late.

"What is this doing?"

"Xiaoqi."

The "elder" had the same indifference on his face as his younger brother, only revealing a trace of intimacy and joy in his words: "Is your eyes really healed?"

Su Zhen nodded lightly: "Let the elder brother bother you."

Fu Zangzhou couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It's actually Brother Zhen's elder brother, and thinking about Brother Zhen's identity again...

Isn't the other party the top boss of Dayu Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor who is called "official" nowadays! !

My mother, live well, the emperor!

And he's Brother Zhen's brother...

Should I salute myself?

It is said that Yu Guo is not happy to kneel and worship, how should he be polite when he meets an official?

Furthermore, what should be called in person, is it just "Guanjia", why is it a bit weird?Or "Your Majesty"?

Anyway, definitely not called "big brother".

Of course, the young ghost king, who was full of problems, was so surprised and confused that he forgot all about "big brother" and "change fee" for a while.

On the other side, the two brothers who had reunited after a long absence were still exchanging greetings.

Hearing what his younger brother said, Nie Guanjia sighed softly: "I am really ashamed that I failed to take good care of Xiaoqi."

Su Zhen only said: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other."

The tone was as flat as ever.

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other?" Official Nie looked thoughtfully at the startled young man, "I heard that he healed your eyes?"

Su Zhen replied affirmatively: "Fortunately, I met Xiaozhou."

Instead, he stroked the young man's hair and woke up the confused guy: "Xiaozhou, this is the elder brother."

Official Nie corrected: "Brother."

I don't know if it was to my younger brother, or if I was telling another boy.

Fu Zangzhou forced himself to suppress the messy thoughts, and then heard his brother Zhen say——

"Just call the eldest brother."

囧囧 has a god.

Although he called Su Zhen "Brother Zhen", it was an unusual friendship between the two;

Brother Zhen's elder brother or eldest brother, in fact, has nothing to do with him, no matter what kind of title, he can't say it at all!

Speaking of the identity of the other party, just think about it and get nervous!

Although "Yu" did not belong to the "historical" dynasty he was familiar with, facing the number one ruler in Yu country, he was still at a loss similar to Tang Taizong and Ming Chengzu.

"Call Big Brother."

"Call elder brother."

"..."

Two men with similar looks, similar temperament, both of extraordinary power and power, whose combined age exceeds ancient times, correct each other like this, you come and go, repeat several times.

Fu Zangzhou: "..."

Inexplicably funny.

The tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

After quietly watching for a while, when Officer Nie's eyes fell on him again, he imitated Bao Jing and made a salute: "Fu Zangzhou has seen..." The voice was a bit vague, "Master."

The middle-aged man, guessed to be a eunuch or something, also called "Master";

Presumably, the official's trip should not be publicized, and he should not have made a big mistake following this ceremony.

Nie Guanjia frowned slightly after hearing this, and suddenly handed over the forgotten brocade bag again: "Changing the mouth fee. If I change the mouth, I will call you big brother."

Fu Zangzhou was silent.

Suddenly realized a problem: Could it be that the so-called "change fee" is what he thought?

So... let alone accept it!

Secretly aimed at Su Zhen.

What the hell did brother Xindaozhen say to his eldest brother?

Judging by the official's attitude, he must have misunderstood.

Su Zhen glanced at the brocade bag, and said in a calm tone, "Too few."

Looking at the majestic Nie Guanjia, he explained in a good temper: "I came in a hurry, and I couldn't prepare for a while... I will accept it first, and I will prepare the full gift when I return to Beijing."

Fu Zangzhou had a headache, and had the illusion of being bought and sold by force.

However, the strange thing is that he didn't feel offended at all, and he didn't feel angry or annoyed at all.

Fortunately, Su Zhen saved the scene: "Brother, please take it back."

Nie Guanjia looked at his younger brother expressionlessly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Su Zhen said something unclear: "It's not yet time."

A certain young ghost king, who has always been rough and nervous, was extremely sensitive at this moment, and an impulse was immediately felt in his heart——

Want to grab Brother Zhen's skirt and question, what do you mean by "it's not time"?Do you think he is a fool, can't understand the meaning behind his words?

Not yet?There is no such "time"!He promises!

Thinking in embarrassment.There is an inexplicable burning sensation in the base of the ear.

Official Nie was silent.

After a long while, he said hesitantly: "I brought Zong Chang with me on this trip, and I want to send him to look into your eyes." After a slight pause, it seemed that there was difficulty, "Or, Xiao Qi should check other aspects?" Don't hide your illness from your doctor."

Fu Zangzhou actually understood, and the slight embarrassment disappeared in an instant, and he almost laughed out loud: Oh, the official family is worthy of being an official family, and the ability of brain hole is beyond my generation.

Su Zhen, who was suspected of having "something wrong with his body", still had a calm attitude: "Brother is overthinking."

Official Nie was worried: "Let Zong Chang check it out." After looking at the boy who was snickering, he suggested, "You too."

Fu Zangzhou: "..."

I can't stop laughing.Could it be that the officials think that they also have... so what's the problem?

Embarrassment, it's not enough to explain the state of mind at the moment.

In the end, he couldn't hold back the insistence of Nie Guanjia;

The two people who were suspected of having physical problems received a comprehensive examination by the imperial doctor named "Zongchang".

The young ghost king secretly rejoiced that after more than two months of training, his humanoid body could "regulate" a little on its own, otherwise his body temperature would be comparable to that of a dead person, and he might not scare the imperial doctor.

Of course Fu Zangzhou was fine, but the imperial doctor said that he was too healthy to be healthy.

The same goes for Su Zhen.

After hearing this, Guanjia Nie showed a trace of relief on his face.

Feeling relieved, he turned his attention to a certain boy.

Fu Zangzhou was bewildered.

Xu is practicing, even if he deliberately restrains his perception, he is still somewhat sensitive to people's micro-expressions.

In the past, Brother Zhen was able to understand other people's eyes when he complained, but now he can barely do this as long as he pays more attention.

So he understood the almost invisible question of Nie Guan's family.

Doubt... Doubt what?

Could it be that the officials really feel that they have something unspeakable?

Can't help but black line.

"Brother came just in time."

Su Zhen said suddenly: "I have learned a black chicken soup, and I intend to invite my elder brother to taste it."

Official Nie looked away from the young man, and was a little bit surprised and happy when he heard that: "Xiaoqi did it for me?"

Su Zhen didn't say yes or no, and his attitude was ambiguous.

Officer Nie only regarded him as acquiescing, and hurriedly said: "Put the soup on quickly, this is the first time I have tasted Xiaoqi's cooking."

In front of the background board, the eunuch Pingan, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth to speak... but he couldn't say anything.

A large cup of black chicken soup was brought to the main room by the servant.

The expression on Ping An's face was hard to describe, but under the urging of Nie Guan's family, he had no choice but to personally serve a bowl of soup and send it to the other party respectfully.

Fu Zangzhou was surprised first: Brother Zhen went to the kitchen to make soup?No wonder I haven't seen anyone for a long time!

Then he caught sight of the eunuch's expression... Uh, why does he look constipated?

Then I saw Nie Guanjia take the first sip of soup, his expression changed for a moment, and then calmed down again the next second.

After being a teenager, he realized later, remembering what Brother Zhen said about using his elder brother as a test subject, he silently supported his forehead.

Brother Zhen, you are a bear, you really did such a thing!

Three seconds of silence for the officials.

A certain ghost king didn't think very sincerely.

Although the official's expression was well managed, the momentary gaffe... Tsk, the chicken soup stewed by Brother Zhen may not taste so delicious.

Su Zhen also asked: "What do you think, elder brother?"

Nie Guanjia said: "Xiaoqi has always been capable, and I am very pleased." Putting down the dishes without haste, he said apologetically, "I still have important things to do, so I have to go to the study for now."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to the young man who was secretly watching, got up calmly, and left gracefully.

This official Nie's temperament seems to be a bit interesting.

Fu Zangzhou thought to himself.

Turning his head to look at Su Zhen, his lowered eyebrows and his sitting posture inexplicably give people a pitiful look, like... a big dog that can't chew the bone.

A certain ghost king was amused by his "disrespectful" association.

Suppressing a momentary burst of laughter.

Picking up a pair of clean bowls and spoons, he lifted the lid of the soup pot... He was stopped by another person's warm palm.

"No."

"According to the officials, this is Brother Zhen's first time cooking?" Fu Zangzhou said, "I'm very curious, I want to try..."

Su Zhen stopped: "It's hard to say, Xiao Zhou doesn't have to force it."

Hearing this, the young man was secretly happy, and asked deliberately: "Why did Brother Zhen say that, could it be that you tasted it first?"

The man shook his head to indicate that he hadn't tasted it beforehand, but...

"If you can talk a little bit, the eldest brother will definitely boast about him, instead of talking about him like Shicai."

Hearing this, Fu Zangzhou couldn't hold back after all, and the corner of his mouth raised a shallow arc: "The official family is really a good brother."

The legendary brother-in-law is there!

Su Zhen agrees with this: "My elder brother treats me with great care, and it can be said that he is meticulous."

Brother Zhen, you are still a "pit brother" and use officials as test subjects... Well, or from another angle, these two brothers have a good relationship?

After thinking about it, Fu Zangzhou moved away the man's hand and said, "I'll just take a bite."

When talking, look at the appearance of the black-bone chicken soup in the soup cup...

Suddenly embarrassing.

Even if you have a little bit of regret, you shouldn't be curious about the other party's craftsmanship.

"Brother Zhen, what did you put in the soup?"

Su Zhen replied with a bunch of spices, common and uncommon ones, and then the medicinal materials for nourishing the body, almost half of the cup was stuffed, and what was even more frightening was that there were fruits in the soup.

According to the material level of this era, this soup is worth a lot.

However, when cooking or making soup, the more precious the material, the better the taste;

The spices are not even fragrant, so they are randomly piled up and put in a pot.

The same ingredients are made in different ways, the spices used are different, and the timing of seasoning is also very different.

Fu Zangzhou feels that he is not very proficient in cooking, but growing up in the countryside, he often helps with housework, making home-cooked dishes and stewing a pot of chicken soup are just things that come at hand.

So after listening to this explanation, I just feel that there is nothing to say——

"Brother Zhen, where did you learn the technique?"

The man said nothing.

The young man who asked the question didn't think much about it. He changed the subject and said, "If you just want to stew chicken soup, you don't need to put these messy things at all. The fresh old hen is soaked in water, at most cut into pieces of ginger, and just stew it directly. Just add some salt."

Su Zhen was a little puzzled: "I occasionally see the imperial chef cooking, and the techniques are quite complicated."

Fu Zangzhou said: "After all, I am an imperial chef, so I am more particular about cooking. I am talking about home-cooked methods. Although the method is simple, the taste is not bad. The silky chicken itself is delicious enough, and the stew uses too many seasonings. , On the contrary, it conceals its deliciousness."

Of course, if it is Bazhen soup, the method is different.

Looking at the soup cup, he thought, with Brother Zhen's level, Bazhen Soup should not be too ambitious.

Finally took a sip.

Fu Zangzhou immediately understood Guanjia Nie's gaffe.

Really...

It's hard to say.

It's hard to imagine why someone stewed chicken soup so badly?

Don't force it to be delicious, but even swallowing it is a bit torturous, especially if you don't add too much salt, can it be regarded as an alternative "talent"?

Silently put down the bowl, deciding not to be difficult for my taste buds.

Meeting the man's calm gaze, I somehow felt a little...expectation?

Fu Zangzhou is embarrassed:

Brother Zhen, what are you waiting for?Do you want him to boast?I am sorry that I can't do such an act against conscience!

It's not good to say nothing, so...

"I know a thing or two about cooking, how about asking Brother Zhen to taste my cooking later?"

Su Zhen was slightly stunned, and shook his head for a while: "There is no need to tire the boat."

Fu Zangzhou didn't care: "Not to mention tired, I haven't cooked for a long time, and my hands are itchy."

In fact, he is quite interested in cooking;

Just lazy.

It's no fun to cook and eat alone.

Hearing what he said, the man gave me a lot of face: "I am looking forward to it."

After chatting a few words, the two separated and went to do their own things.

A large cup of expensive black chicken soup was deliberately forgotten by everyone.

After the master left, the servant quietly took away the soup cup.

The ending of black-bone chicken soup cannot be said, cannot be said.

On the last day of the new year, even this deserted courtyard seemed to be filled with festive and joyful atmosphere.

Fu Zangzhou stood on the top of the pavilion. The pavilion was several stories high. With his eyesight, he could see the panorama of Laizhou clearly.

His face, which had always been indifferent, became even more cold at this time.

"It's windy here, so don't wait too long for the boat."

The boy turned his head when he heard the sound.

At some point, Su Zhen also climbed to the top of the pavilion.

I was thinking too much about things just now.

"I'm not afraid of the cold," replied nonchalantly, "Brother Zhen, you know that."

Instead, he said: "Brother Zhen, go down quickly, it's very cold today, don't get sick from the wind."

Su Zhen seemed to have never heard of it, and his voice seemed to be lowered a little: "Why are you sad?"

Fu Zangzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then replied as if nothing had happened: "What did Brother Zhen say?" Changed the subject, "Is the official planning to stay here for New Year's Eve? Will Beijing be very busy during the New Year?"

Su Zhen gave an answer first: "Elder brother has always done things properly, so there is no need to worry." Then he pulled the topic back and asked, "Is Xiaozhou homesick?"

The boy was silent.

Su Zhen has always been meticulous in his thoughts, so it is no surprise to guess his mood.

and……

The other party probably had doubts about his origin.

Fu Bai's identity is just a cover outside.

Su Zhen had met Fu Bai himself a long time ago, so of course he didn't think they were the same person;

Naturally, Fu Zangzhou didn't deliberately hide anything when he was in front of the other party... We all know that he is not a human being anymore, so there is no point in doing such false things.

"Ah."

The boy bent his knees and sat on the tile: "I miss home."

I no longer justify my words, but admit my feelings frankly: "Although my parents...even grandpa and grandma don't want me, I still miss home."

Obviously there is no one else in the family, and grandpa passed away two years ago.

Su Zhen didn't say much to comfort him, and stroked the messy hair of the boy: "It's human nature to be homesick."

Fu Zangzhou let out a "huh".

As Brother Zhen said, instead of being homesick, it is better to say that he misses the hometown where he was born and raised.

I am usually heartless, but I dare not think too deeply;

Now is the festive season...

Homesickness arises spontaneously.

Emotions that come from instinct and are difficult to control.

The big hands covering the top of the hair are very warm.

The young man rubbed against each other unconsciously, and suddenly felt a desire to confide: "Let me tell Brother Zhen about my family..."

The man said lightly: "All ears."

"Actually, I can't figure it out..."

The young man muttered: "My parents, since neither of them like me, why did you give birth to me in the first place?

"They say they don't like me, they are very generous materially, and never owe me... They treat me," after a moment of deliberation, "it's very polite, just like a guest."

Su Zhen listened quietly, without interrupting or commenting casually, occasionally showing a thoughtful expression.

Suppressing his longing for his homeland, Fu Zangzhou began to complain as he spoke.

Speaking of which, he is considered weak relatives.

But it's not bloody either.

Both my parents are from the countryside, and their education level is not very good, but both of them are high-spirited.

Before the term migrant workers became popular, Shuangshuang left her hometown and went to the big cities.

One became a foreman, and the other entered the factory.

Within a few years, each broke through some doors.

Xu was separated for a long time, and the two divorced peacefully;

The one who was favored by the boss's daughter and became a son-in-law in the city after "rising to the top";

One followed the eldest sister in the factory to open a shop and worked hard, and then found a rich man to marry.

Not to mention the connotation, education, the couple's appearance is very good.

Fu Zangzhou felt that he probably picked on the advantages of his parents and grew up like this, as if he was loved by little girls:

His mother has good skin, so he is ridiculously white; his father is tall, so he broke through 1.8 meters...

The combination of the two is nothing like the couple.

Besides, the couple had their own futures and new families, so they left their hometown.

It can't be said to completely abandon it, because a large sum of money will be sent every year.

As a rural kid, he had never had any worries about money before time travel.

But for children, as long as they are not hungry or cold, they have no idea about money.

Longing for the love of parents.

So when he grew up a bit, he secretly went to the city to find his mother with some travel expenses behind his back.

Unexpectedly, his mother threw a bank card and said: "I divorced your father, and you are not my son anymore, so don't come to me in the future... Before you become an adult, I will pay you some living expenses every year. Don't worry about any more."

The mother's attitude is not a big blow to the 13-year-old boy.

All of a sudden, the desire to find his own father faded away.

Desperately returned to his hometown, An An lived with his grandfather, never caring about anything.

Grandpa is too old to be too considerate;

Without the care of parents, when you encounter difficulties, you have to learn to resolve yourself. Over time, you will develop the current temper that can't be said to be good or bad.

When he was in the first year of high school, his grandfather died of a sudden illness, so he was picked up by his dad in the city to live with him.

He didn't suffer much in his new home.

The stepmother, as well as the twins born to the stepmother, were well-bred and treated him politely, and there were no such messy things about reorganizing the family.

But Fu Zangzhou couldn't adapt.

Let alone the stepmother, even his own father treats him like a guest... It's okay to stay for a day or two, but if he stays for a long time, he simply doesn't fit in with the whole family.

I decisively asked to live on campus, and said I missed my hometown after the holidays, and went back to my hometown alone for a month or two.

Later, I applied for a university far away from my new home and moved away completely.

After that...

I've only been in college for a year, and I'm time travelling.

Of course, it's not easy to mention it to people.

What Fu Zangzhou complained to the man was mainly about his strange relationship with his parents: "I've been away for so long, maybe they don't even know about it."

With that said, the loss in my heart gradually faded away.

There is not even a single person who cares about it, so it seems a bit ridiculous to talk about missing.

Su Zhen caressed the boy's hair, and said slowly: "Parents and children also pay attention to fate."

Fu Zangzhou murmured: "Then I probably cast the wrong baby..."

So you have no fate with your parents?

Suddenly there was a gust of wind.

He looked up at the man: "Brother Zhen, please stop touching, my hair is all messed up."

I'm really worried about being touched bald.

"I'll comb it for you." Su Zhen said.

Fu Zangzhou didn't refuse either.No way, who made him not know how to tie his hair so far?

"Let's go down."

The wind is too strong, he doesn't care, he is afraid Brother Zhen will not be blown to pieces.

After going downstairs and combing his hair, Fu Zangzhou completely recovered his good mood.

Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are frowning and dejected.

Although this country of Yu is not his homeland, in every respect, it is quite similar to some dynasties in history... To change the way of thinking, it would be like returning to the ancient times, as if the land was still standing under our feet.

"Let's go, Brother Zhen," said a ghost king who said he was in a good mood, and pulled his brother Zhen, "I said I would give you a taste of my cooking. It happens to be Chinese New Year today, and I will make chicken soup or something."

Su Zhen almost never refused the boy's request, so he naturally followed him to the kitchen.

Fu Zangzhou was a bit embarrassed: "Let's see how I do it!"

Earthen pot, black-bone chicken, yam, and a piece of ginger...

The young man who hasn't cooked for a long time has no hands at all.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked from behind.

When Fu Zangzhou saw that it was Guan Nie's family, he felt a little guilty.

Being caught pulling his younger brother to cook, thinking about the honorable status of the two brothers, he couldn't help but wonder, would the official feel that he had spoiled his younger brother?

Forgot for a moment, Su Zhen had cooked before.

Fortunately, Guan Nie's family didn't seem to mind his brother's cooking.

Without waiting for Fu Zangzhou or Su Zhen to reply, he stared at the clear soup in the crock and frowned: "Why don't you add seasoning?"

I didn't expect the officials to be quite down-to-earth.The young ghost king thought to himself, and replied: "I have released ginger."

The official's expression did not change, and there was a vague disapproval in his eyes.

Fu Zangzhou didn't think much about it, coughed lightly, and quietly tugged on La Suzhen's sleeve.

Su Zhen understood, found an excuse at will, said goodbye to his elder brother, and then left the kitchen with the guilty boy.

Fu Zangzhou patted his chest lightly.

I was really taken aback just now.

There is an illusion of being caught by the head teacher in the class by pulling good students to play games.

Estimating the time, he felt that the chicken soup was almost ready, so he sneaked back to the kitchen.

There is a cook in the kitchen watching the soup, but he is not worried about the heat.

However, something unexpected happened...

Fu Zangzhou opened the soup pot and saw that it was filled with a mess of ingredients, medicinal materials and spices that he didn't plan to put.

For example, the garlic sprouts are soaked in the soup and boiled; among the spices, there is at least a handful of star anise...

It's black in front of you.

Who did such harm!

The chicken soup he stewed for Brother Zhen turned into a dark dish!

"Who came into the kitchen just now?" asked the cook.

The cook faltered, as if he dared not speak.

Fu Zangzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, could it be——

Brother Zhen took advantage of his inattention and ran back to add spices?

So angry—well, exaggerated, just a little upset—go to Brother Zhen, ready to talk about it.

But for those who are good at cooking, or think they are good at cooking, when cooking, the most annoying thing is other people pointing fingers, let alone...

Ruined a cup of soup he carefully prepared!

Fu Zangzhou ran wildly all the way, humming in his heart all the way:

If you don't know how to cook, just wait to eat, if you don't think you have the talent to be a chef...

Who gave the face?

Even if it is Brother Zhen, such behavior must not be tolerated.

The author has something to say:

Nie Guanjia: This soup is too bland, what can I do without oil and water?Add a spoonful of lard.

Insufficient nutrition, add some ginseng; goji berries are also indispensable, nourishing the liver and kidney.

Why doesn't it smell good?Come, come, bay leaves, cinnamon, fennel, star anise... each one.

I feel that I accidentally put too much, will it get angry?Put another handful of honeysuckle.

It seems that there are too many things stuffed and the soup is not enough, so I quickly change to a big pot and add a scoop or two of cold water... Oh, if I add too much water, will the taste be diluted?Add some salt now!

I accidentally shook my hand and spilled the salt...

Taste it, why is it so weird?

slip away.

I have many national affairs to attend to.
