My Favorite Manly Husband
Chapter 43 Banquet
In the study, Li Zhiyuan looked at the two letters on the table with a complicated expression.As before, one of these two letters was for him and the other was for Su Qingze.The difference is that this time along with the letter came a gift—a pair of well-crafted longevity locks.
The letter to him made it clear that this was a birthday present for his son.In addition, it is also mentioned that the imperial court is now employing people, so let him pay attention to people with real talents and learning, regardless of their line of work, especially those who are helpful to the people.In particular, let him pay attention to the situation of co-raising fish, rice and ducks, and tell him to report the results when he has the results.
Su Qingze should have told the other party about raising fish, rice and duck together, but he didn't dare to mention it because he hadn't seen any results yet.
Su Qingze might just say it as a fun thing, but he didn't expect that person to be so caring...
At the end of the letter, he told him that regarding Su Qingze's desire to lose weight, as long as it doesn't hurt his body, let him go, don't hold him back, just let him do what he likes.
Li Zhiyuan was a little scared.Previously, he was afraid that Su Qingze would be disgusted if he kept gaining weight, so he strongly agreed with Su Qingze's going to Shenjia Village to seek advice on losing weight.But he didn't expect that person's attitude to be like this.It seems that whether Su Qingze is thin or fat, as long as he is happy, he doesn't care!
"Hey..." Li Zhiyuan sighed, worried.To Su Qingze, he didn't know whether it was a joy or a worry for such a doting.
"My lord, Shen Xiucai is here." The housekeeper knocked lightly on the door.
Li Zhiyuan collected his thoughts and said, "Come in."
"The student has met the magistrate of the county." Shen Yanbei made a gesture with both hands, and saluted politely.
Li Zhiyuan was very satisfied with his humility, and asked, "Did Qing Ze come back?"
"Mr. Su and my husband have gone to see your lady."
Li Zhiyuan nodded and told Shen Yanbei to sit down and talk.Shen Yanbei first thanked Li Zhiyuan for the book and the Four Treasures of the Study that he gave on the day of the crowning ceremony, and then straight to the point: "My lord's handwriting has benefited the students a lot, but the students are stupid, and there are still many things I don't understand. Please enlighten me, my lord!"
Li Zhiyuan was about to ask him what he thought after reading the book, but now Shen Yanbei asked directly, "You tell me."
Shen Yanbei was also polite, and immediately threw out the question.The two had different views on certain concepts, and the discussion on current policy theory was a bit intense for a while.
Shen Yanbei relied on the broad horizons of future generations, while Li Zhiyuan focused on the national conditions of his own country. The contradictions can be easily resolved under certain circumstances. Time and space know too little to think about it.
Li Zhiyuan looked at the young man who frowned in thought, but was secretly startled.A person's background largely limits a person's vision, but Shen Yanbei is different. This young man has a very long-term perspective and is able to grasp the key to the problem.This learning ability is quite strong!
No wonder the one reminded me that the other party is indeed a talent to be made!
On the other side, in the side room connected to the master bedroom of the mansion, the little birthday star Li Lin was wearing a festive red robe and was sitting at the table eating a piece of gold silk candied date cake.This jujube cake is soft and glutinous, slightly sweet, and has a faint milky aroma. The little birthday boy is very happy to eat it.
Seeing her son eating happily, Su Wanqing also tasted a piece, then nodded: "That's right, this Tongfu Restaurant is really extraordinary." Today, they specially invited Tongfu Restaurant to host a banquet for their son's birthday. The chef came over to take charge.Early in the morning, Chef Shen made fragrant porridge and delicate and easy-to-break pastries for delivery.
My son, who has never been very fond of porridge, actually finished a bowl of shrimp porridge and offered to ask for a snack.Su Wanqing was very happy.
"elder sister!"
The boy's hearty voice sounded, and Su Wanqing met Su Qingze's smiling eyes as soon as she raised her head.
"Are you back?" Su Wanqing stood up to meet him, her almond eyes sized up the boy with a smile.Long time no see, the boy lost weight again!This time it's even thinner!The face that was as white, tender and soft as his son's was thinner, and the outline of the facial features became clearer.And the young man seems to have grown taller. Before, he looked round and round, but now he has the appearance of a green pine.And the young man looked even thinner against the backdrop of the tall and strong man...
No, not a man!
Su Wanqing looked at the pale pregnancy mole between the other party's eyebrows for a moment.
"Uncle!" Little Shouxing's eyes lit up when he saw Su Qingze, struggling to get off his seat.Lan Ling, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly carried him down.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the little birthday star rushed over with jujube cakes: "Eat cakes!"
"Hey! Good!" Su Qingze picked up his little nephew and took a bite of the cake without being polite.Little Shouxing giggled and stuffed the remaining jujube cake into his mouth.
Lan Ling was shocked: "Hey, master, eat slowly!" He quickly brought milk and fed it to the little birthday boy.
"Nonsense!" Su Wanqing glared at her son and younger brother, and looked at Gu Changfeng softly. "This must be the husband of Shen Xiucai's family, right?" The facial features of Shuang'er in front of him were as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were pure. His body did not have the softness of ordinary Shuang'er at all, but instead had the toughness and masculinity of a dignified man.
Such a face and such a figure are not flattering at all, but the other party looks calm and doesn't seem to care.
Su Wanqing couldn't help admiring while being curious.People in the world have multiple skins, and it is not easy to live calmly without fear of the eyes of others.
"I've seen Madam." Gu Changfeng cupped his hands.The woman's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Su Qingze's, but Su Qingze's is more youthful and heroic.He could almost imagine how Su Qingze would look completely thin.
Su Wanqing smiled kindly: "Please sit down quickly! Qing Ze has been bothering you for a while."
Gu Changfeng smiled embarrassingly: "It's okay." The woman's demeanor was peaceful and approachable, and her gestures were gentle and gentle, which easily made people feel good.
"Don't speak for him, I don't know that his wild nature has gone up a tree?" Su Wanqing smiled and shook her head, and asked Hongrui to serve tea.
Gu Changfeng's eyes were serious: "He is very good like this, he loses weight quickly when he is active." Su Qingze is young and has a high status. No matter what he does, the villagers are very tolerant, and they often call him for fun things.Those who run and jump become thinner day by day.
Su Wanqing was startled, then laughed.
Gu Changfeng frowned slightly, and said seriously: "My husband said, if you continue to walk more, he will lose weight faster."
"No, no, I don't mean anything else," Su Wanqing suppressed her smile, and sighed, "I just thought it would be beneficial for him to be wild one day!"
"Sister!" Su Qingze yelled dissatisfiedly holding his little nephew, "Where am I?"
"Yes, you are not wild." Su Wanqing carried her son over, took the cloth towel handed over by Lan Ling and wiped his mouth for him, "You just used all the energy you had when you were forced to be trapped at home when you were young and had nowhere to use it." Already!"
"Ma'am." The little maid came in to announce, "All the wives of the squires are waiting in the flower hall."
Su Wanqing looked at the hourglass, and said to Gu Changfeng: "It's not good to keep the distinguished guests waiting for a long time, why don't we go there now?"
Gu Changfeng stood up, expressing that the guests do as they please.Su Wanqing hugged her son and led Gu Changfeng and Su Qingze to the flower hall surrounded by maidservants.
The female relatives were arranged to have a banquet in the flower hall, while the men gathered in the lobby of the second courtyard.
Before the county magistrate arrived, the person with the highest status in the hall was Juren Li Yi.Although Dongjiang County is not poor, there are not many scholars, and few are admitted to the scholar, let alone those who passed the exam.Therefore, the squires present gave Li Yi a lot of face, and Li Yi was praised by other members of the staff, so Li Yi, who became the focus, was a little smug for a while.
The old scholar sitting on the side glanced at Li Yi, and said with a straight face: "It's a loss, but a modest benefit."
Someone laughed: "Old Guo, you can express your opinions on Juren, why are you muttering?"
The old Xiucai is the father of Shen Youcai's daughter-in-law, Lao Guo Xiucai, who is upright and old-fashioned.Hearing this, he immediately said: "Scholars should be humble and eager to learn, not complacent!"
Li Yi's face was a bit ugly, and Li Yuanwai said meaningfully: "Old Guo Xiucai, you should say this to your good student."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.It is well known that Lao Guo Xiucai married his daughter to a villager in Shenjia Village because he liked the other party's wealthy family and a boy student who was expected to pass the exam.But who knows that the other party's family background is fake, that Tongsheng is still arrogant, and the family's mud can't support the wall.
"You!" Old Guo Xiu blushed.
At this moment, Li Zhiyuan walked in with the housekeeper and Shen Yanbei.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have seen you!"
Li Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hands: "Today is my son's birthday. I am very grateful to all of you who came to congratulate me. I have prepared a little wine, so please be polite!" Start serving.
Everyone said yes repeatedly, many people stared at Shen Yanbei, and those who didn't know him were guessing who this young man was and how he was so close to the magistrate.
Li Yi clenched his fists tightly in his armhole, feeling extremely jealous.
This poor scholar is really lucky!Climb to Mr. Su and also to the county magistrate!
Shen Yanbei just smiled politely to the doubtful eyes cast by everyone.
Li Zhiyuan took the first seat, picked up a glass of wine, and said to everyone: "All of you here are heroes from Dongjiang County. They have contributed a lot to the prosperity of Dongjiang County. I respect you!"
"My lord is too serious!" Li Yi said, "This is what we should do as people from Dongjiang County!"
Others echoed: "Li Juren is right!" "That's right!"
Shen Yanbei: "..."
This Li Yi is very good at flattering!
Li Yi looked at Li Zhiyuan sincerely: "I hope that under the leadership of your lord, I can make further progress in Dongjiang County! Let's give you a toast!"
"Okay!" Li Zhiyuan raised his wine glass and was about to drink when a servant hurried in.
"Master, it's not good—"
"What's the matter?" Li Zhiyuan frowned and asked.
"The young master accidentally ate the fruit of a potted plant in the flower hall, and now he is so uncomfortable that he is crying. Madam tells you to go there quickly!"
Li Zhiyuan was shocked: "Hurry up and call the doctor!" After finishing speaking, he ignored the crowd and ran straight to the flower hall.
Shen Yanbei hurriedly followed.It was a bit impolite to go to the female relative's side suddenly, but he couldn't care so much when the incident happened suddenly.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, Li Yi stared at Shen Yanbei's back and gritted his teeth: "Let's go and have a look too!"
In the flower hall, Su Wanqing was coaxing her son in her arms. Little Shouxing was crying with snot and tears all over his face, his lips were red and swollen, he looked very pitiful.
Lan Ling knelt on the ground, kowtowed while crying: "It's all the servant's fault! It's all the servant's fault for putting this flower here!"
"Sister Lan Ling, get up first!" Su Qingze felt sorry for his little nephew, but it wasn't Lan Ling's fault.There are many potted plants in the flower hall, two of which are covered with bright red fruits like little fingers, looking extremely happy.These two plants were placed next to the main table, one on the left and the other on the right. As soon as his sister was seated, his little nephew picked them up and played with them, even in his mouth!
"Wan Qing!" Li Zhiyuan hurried over, and when he saw his son's appearance, he frowned. "What's the matter?"
"Zhiyuan!" Seeing Li Zhiyuan, Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Lin'er became like this after eating this fruit!"
After knowing the cause of the incident, Li Zhiyuan said with a dark face, "Throw away these two plants!" These two potted flowers were given to the Su family years ago.It is said that it is a plant from another country. They brought it here from Qinghe because it looks happy and prosperous. Who knew that this thing could harm people!
Shen Yanbei, who had just arrived, saw the young servant rudely picking up the two potted flowers, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Gu Changfeng quickly stopped the servant and took down the flower.
Shen Yanbei glanced at Gu Changfeng, and walked quickly to Su Wanqing's side.He looked carefully at the little birthday boy, and asked, "Is there any sugar? Sugar water is also available. Give him some!"
Su Wanqing was startled, and was about to ask someone to bring some sugar, when a strange voice sounded: "Shen Xiucai, you are not a doctor, so don't mess around!"
Li Yi, who followed, said to Li Zhiyuan with a serious expression: "For the sake of the young master's safety, it's better to wait for the doctor to see him before making a decision."
Li Zhiyuan was a little hesitant. Li Yi's words were correct, but his son looked really uncomfortable...
"This is chili pepper. It tastes pungent. It's more spicy than onion, ginger, and garlic. It's not a serious problem if you eat it by mistake. It's good to eat something sweet to relieve it." Shen Yanbei picked a small chili pepper and smelled it, and the long-lost spiciness filled his nose. It really lifted his spirits!
Li Yi scolded: "It's a bunch of nonsense! If you eat it by mistake, it's not a serious problem, and you don't have to cry like this!"
Shen Yanbei's answer was...he just ate a pepper!
"Yanbei!" Gu Changfeng frowned, his face full of worry.
The familiar spicy taste lingered on the tip of the tongue, and Shen Yanbei almost burst into tears!
Finally found a pepper for him!
Boiled fish!Spicy Chicken!Spicy pot!Mapo tofu!
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Shen Yanbei eat the pepper, Su Wanqing hurriedly said: "Bring sugar water!"
Soon the sugar water was served, and Su Wanqing carefully fed it to her son.The little birthday star smashed his mouth, stopped crying, reached out and took the initiative to hold the bowl and gulped down a bowl of sugar water!
Li Yi's face was gloomy, and his fists under the armhole were tightly clenched.
After the little birthday star drank the sugar water, his mouth was flattened, and he began to cry again: "It hurts!"
Su Wanqing and Li Zhiyuan went to see Shen Yanbei, and Shen Yanbei comforted him: "The spiciness will not disappear all at once, it will only gradually fade away. Find something for him to play with, and it will be fine after a while."
"Shen Xiucai, I advise you not to pretend to understand!" Li Yi sneered.
Ignoring Li Yi's cynicism, Shen Yanbei asked Zhou Yu to take out the box containing the gift: "This is a little gift from the student, and I gave it to the young master. I wish the young master a happy birthday! Happiness and well-being!"
Too scheming!Giving gifts in full view!If you don't charge it, you have to charge it!Everyone secretly scolded Shen Yanbei for being cunning.
The young man looked natural, Li Zhiyuan hesitated and opened the box.
When everyone stepped forward to take a look, they were all dumbfounded.
There were no valuables in the box, just some colored pieces of wood and a few books.
"This is?" Li Zhiyuan picked up the book and flipped through it, the more he looked at it, the more dignified his expression became.
Putting down the book, Li Zhiyuan took out the small wooden block: "How do I get this?"
"This is building blocks." Shen Yanbei smiled and used building blocks to build a house in front of everyone.
Little Shouxing stopped crying, stared at the building block with bright eyes, and reached out eagerly: "Daddy! I want it!"
The stone in Su Wanqing's heart fell to the ground, she looked at Shen Yanbei gratefully, and asked someone to take the toy aside for her son to play with.
Accompanied by the maidservant, Xiao Shou Xing played with Di Gao Gao, laughing so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.Li Yi's face was stained with ink, and he couldn't wait.
An accident, near misses.
Everyone returned to the banquet. This time, instead of complimenting Li Yi, they toasted Shen Yanbei with a smile and asked about those gadgets.
Who doesn't have many children these days?The county magistrate didn't let them read those books at all, but those building blocks are good things!The little boy who didn't watch the county magistrate forgot the pain?
Seeing that everyone was so curious about children's toys, Shen Yanbei wanted to sell a toy, but he still remembered the two pots of peppers.
"How do you know it's pepper?" Li Zhiyuan asked curiously.
"The private rooms in my restaurant are sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and the only taste that is 'spicy' is missing!" The private rooms are named after the five flavors, and the decoration inside is naturally themed with the five flavors.Since there was no chili, he used ginger.
Li Zhiyuan was stunned: "This can still be cooked?" There are corresponding dishes in the private room named after the five flavors, and he has never eaten spicy dishes.
"Yes." Shen Yanbei replied, without beating around the bush, he just asked for two pots of peppers.
Li Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Take it, there will be a new dish at that time, I will definitely try it."
This time, Li Zhiyuan didn't use 'my official', but me.The subtle gap made Shen Yanbei narrow his eyes with a smile: "Students will definitely wait for you!"
The letter to him made it clear that this was a birthday present for his son.In addition, it is also mentioned that the imperial court is now employing people, so let him pay attention to people with real talents and learning, regardless of their line of work, especially those who are helpful to the people.In particular, let him pay attention to the situation of co-raising fish, rice and ducks, and tell him to report the results when he has the results.
Su Qingze should have told the other party about raising fish, rice and duck together, but he didn't dare to mention it because he hadn't seen any results yet.
Su Qingze might just say it as a fun thing, but he didn't expect that person to be so caring...
At the end of the letter, he told him that regarding Su Qingze's desire to lose weight, as long as it doesn't hurt his body, let him go, don't hold him back, just let him do what he likes.
Li Zhiyuan was a little scared.Previously, he was afraid that Su Qingze would be disgusted if he kept gaining weight, so he strongly agreed with Su Qingze's going to Shenjia Village to seek advice on losing weight.But he didn't expect that person's attitude to be like this.It seems that whether Su Qingze is thin or fat, as long as he is happy, he doesn't care!
"Hey..." Li Zhiyuan sighed, worried.To Su Qingze, he didn't know whether it was a joy or a worry for such a doting.
"My lord, Shen Xiucai is here." The housekeeper knocked lightly on the door.
Li Zhiyuan collected his thoughts and said, "Come in."
"The student has met the magistrate of the county." Shen Yanbei made a gesture with both hands, and saluted politely.
Li Zhiyuan was very satisfied with his humility, and asked, "Did Qing Ze come back?"
"Mr. Su and my husband have gone to see your lady."
Li Zhiyuan nodded and told Shen Yanbei to sit down and talk.Shen Yanbei first thanked Li Zhiyuan for the book and the Four Treasures of the Study that he gave on the day of the crowning ceremony, and then straight to the point: "My lord's handwriting has benefited the students a lot, but the students are stupid, and there are still many things I don't understand. Please enlighten me, my lord!"
Li Zhiyuan was about to ask him what he thought after reading the book, but now Shen Yanbei asked directly, "You tell me."
Shen Yanbei was also polite, and immediately threw out the question.The two had different views on certain concepts, and the discussion on current policy theory was a bit intense for a while.
Shen Yanbei relied on the broad horizons of future generations, while Li Zhiyuan focused on the national conditions of his own country. The contradictions can be easily resolved under certain circumstances. Time and space know too little to think about it.
Li Zhiyuan looked at the young man who frowned in thought, but was secretly startled.A person's background largely limits a person's vision, but Shen Yanbei is different. This young man has a very long-term perspective and is able to grasp the key to the problem.This learning ability is quite strong!
No wonder the one reminded me that the other party is indeed a talent to be made!
On the other side, in the side room connected to the master bedroom of the mansion, the little birthday star Li Lin was wearing a festive red robe and was sitting at the table eating a piece of gold silk candied date cake.This jujube cake is soft and glutinous, slightly sweet, and has a faint milky aroma. The little birthday boy is very happy to eat it.
Seeing her son eating happily, Su Wanqing also tasted a piece, then nodded: "That's right, this Tongfu Restaurant is really extraordinary." Today, they specially invited Tongfu Restaurant to host a banquet for their son's birthday. The chef came over to take charge.Early in the morning, Chef Shen made fragrant porridge and delicate and easy-to-break pastries for delivery.
My son, who has never been very fond of porridge, actually finished a bowl of shrimp porridge and offered to ask for a snack.Su Wanqing was very happy.
"elder sister!"
The boy's hearty voice sounded, and Su Wanqing met Su Qingze's smiling eyes as soon as she raised her head.
"Are you back?" Su Wanqing stood up to meet him, her almond eyes sized up the boy with a smile.Long time no see, the boy lost weight again!This time it's even thinner!The face that was as white, tender and soft as his son's was thinner, and the outline of the facial features became clearer.And the young man seems to have grown taller. Before, he looked round and round, but now he has the appearance of a green pine.And the young man looked even thinner against the backdrop of the tall and strong man...
No, not a man!
Su Wanqing looked at the pale pregnancy mole between the other party's eyebrows for a moment.
"Uncle!" Little Shouxing's eyes lit up when he saw Su Qingze, struggling to get off his seat.Lan Ling, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly carried him down.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the little birthday star rushed over with jujube cakes: "Eat cakes!"
"Hey! Good!" Su Qingze picked up his little nephew and took a bite of the cake without being polite.Little Shouxing giggled and stuffed the remaining jujube cake into his mouth.
Lan Ling was shocked: "Hey, master, eat slowly!" He quickly brought milk and fed it to the little birthday boy.
"Nonsense!" Su Wanqing glared at her son and younger brother, and looked at Gu Changfeng softly. "This must be the husband of Shen Xiucai's family, right?" The facial features of Shuang'er in front of him were as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were pure. His body did not have the softness of ordinary Shuang'er at all, but instead had the toughness and masculinity of a dignified man.
Such a face and such a figure are not flattering at all, but the other party looks calm and doesn't seem to care.
Su Wanqing couldn't help admiring while being curious.People in the world have multiple skins, and it is not easy to live calmly without fear of the eyes of others.
"I've seen Madam." Gu Changfeng cupped his hands.The woman's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Su Qingze's, but Su Qingze's is more youthful and heroic.He could almost imagine how Su Qingze would look completely thin.
Su Wanqing smiled kindly: "Please sit down quickly! Qing Ze has been bothering you for a while."
Gu Changfeng smiled embarrassingly: "It's okay." The woman's demeanor was peaceful and approachable, and her gestures were gentle and gentle, which easily made people feel good.
"Don't speak for him, I don't know that his wild nature has gone up a tree?" Su Wanqing smiled and shook her head, and asked Hongrui to serve tea.
Gu Changfeng's eyes were serious: "He is very good like this, he loses weight quickly when he is active." Su Qingze is young and has a high status. No matter what he does, the villagers are very tolerant, and they often call him for fun things.Those who run and jump become thinner day by day.

"No, no, I don't mean anything else," Su Wanqing suppressed her smile, and sighed, "I just thought it would be beneficial for him to be wild one day!"
"Sister!" Su Qingze yelled dissatisfiedly holding his little nephew, "Where am I?"
"Yes, you are not wild." Su Wanqing carried her son over, took the cloth towel handed over by Lan Ling and wiped his mouth for him, "You just used all the energy you had when you were forced to be trapped at home when you were young and had nowhere to use it." Already!"
"Ma'am." The little maid came in to announce, "All the wives of the squires are waiting in the flower hall."
Su Wanqing looked at the hourglass, and said to Gu Changfeng: "It's not good to keep the distinguished guests waiting for a long time, why don't we go there now?"
Gu Changfeng stood up, expressing that the guests do as they please.Su Wanqing hugged her son and led Gu Changfeng and Su Qingze to the flower hall surrounded by maidservants.
The female relatives were arranged to have a banquet in the flower hall, while the men gathered in the lobby of the second courtyard.

The old scholar sitting on the side glanced at Li Yi, and said with a straight face: "It's a loss, but a modest benefit."
Someone laughed: "Old Guo, you can express your opinions on Juren, why are you muttering?"
The old Xiucai is the father of Shen Youcai's daughter-in-law, Lao Guo Xiucai, who is upright and old-fashioned.Hearing this, he immediately said: "Scholars should be humble and eager to learn, not complacent!"
Li Yi's face was a bit ugly, and Li Yuanwai said meaningfully: "Old Guo Xiucai, you should say this to your good student."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.It is well known that Lao Guo Xiucai married his daughter to a villager in Shenjia Village because he liked the other party's wealthy family and a boy student who was expected to pass the exam.But who knows that the other party's family background is fake, that Tongsheng is still arrogant, and the family's mud can't support the wall.
"You!" Old Guo Xiu blushed.
At this moment, Li Zhiyuan walked in with the housekeeper and Shen Yanbei.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have seen you!"
Li Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hands: "Today is my son's birthday. I am very grateful to all of you who came to congratulate me. I have prepared a little wine, so please be polite!" Start serving.
Everyone said yes repeatedly, many people stared at Shen Yanbei, and those who didn't know him were guessing who this young man was and how he was so close to the magistrate.
Li Yi clenched his fists tightly in his armhole, feeling extremely jealous.
This poor scholar is really lucky!Climb to Mr. Su and also to the county magistrate!
Shen Yanbei just smiled politely to the doubtful eyes cast by everyone.
Li Zhiyuan took the first seat, picked up a glass of wine, and said to everyone: "All of you here are heroes from Dongjiang County. They have contributed a lot to the prosperity of Dongjiang County. I respect you!"
"My lord is too serious!" Li Yi said, "This is what we should do as people from Dongjiang County!"
Others echoed: "Li Juren is right!" "That's right!"
Shen Yanbei: "..."
This Li Yi is very good at flattering!
Li Yi looked at Li Zhiyuan sincerely: "I hope that under the leadership of your lord, I can make further progress in Dongjiang County! Let's give you a toast!"
"Okay!" Li Zhiyuan raised his wine glass and was about to drink when a servant hurried in.
"Master, it's not good—"
"What's the matter?" Li Zhiyuan frowned and asked.
"The young master accidentally ate the fruit of a potted plant in the flower hall, and now he is so uncomfortable that he is crying. Madam tells you to go there quickly!"
Li Zhiyuan was shocked: "Hurry up and call the doctor!" After finishing speaking, he ignored the crowd and ran straight to the flower hall.
Shen Yanbei hurriedly followed.It was a bit impolite to go to the female relative's side suddenly, but he couldn't care so much when the incident happened suddenly.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, Li Yi stared at Shen Yanbei's back and gritted his teeth: "Let's go and have a look too!"
In the flower hall, Su Wanqing was coaxing her son in her arms. Little Shouxing was crying with snot and tears all over his face, his lips were red and swollen, he looked very pitiful.
Lan Ling knelt on the ground, kowtowed while crying: "It's all the servant's fault! It's all the servant's fault for putting this flower here!"
"Sister Lan Ling, get up first!" Su Qingze felt sorry for his little nephew, but it wasn't Lan Ling's fault.There are many potted plants in the flower hall, two of which are covered with bright red fruits like little fingers, looking extremely happy.These two plants were placed next to the main table, one on the left and the other on the right. As soon as his sister was seated, his little nephew picked them up and played with them, even in his mouth!
"Wan Qing!" Li Zhiyuan hurried over, and when he saw his son's appearance, he frowned. "What's the matter?"
"Zhiyuan!" Seeing Li Zhiyuan, Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Lin'er became like this after eating this fruit!"
After knowing the cause of the incident, Li Zhiyuan said with a dark face, "Throw away these two plants!" These two potted flowers were given to the Su family years ago.It is said that it is a plant from another country. They brought it here from Qinghe because it looks happy and prosperous. Who knew that this thing could harm people!
Shen Yanbei, who had just arrived, saw the young servant rudely picking up the two potted flowers, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Gu Changfeng quickly stopped the servant and took down the flower.
Shen Yanbei glanced at Gu Changfeng, and walked quickly to Su Wanqing's side.He looked carefully at the little birthday boy, and asked, "Is there any sugar? Sugar water is also available. Give him some!"
Su Wanqing was startled, and was about to ask someone to bring some sugar, when a strange voice sounded: "Shen Xiucai, you are not a doctor, so don't mess around!"
Li Yi, who followed, said to Li Zhiyuan with a serious expression: "For the sake of the young master's safety, it's better to wait for the doctor to see him before making a decision."
Li Zhiyuan was a little hesitant. Li Yi's words were correct, but his son looked really uncomfortable...
"This is chili pepper. It tastes pungent. It's more spicy than onion, ginger, and garlic. It's not a serious problem if you eat it by mistake. It's good to eat something sweet to relieve it." Shen Yanbei picked a small chili pepper and smelled it, and the long-lost spiciness filled his nose. It really lifted his spirits!
Li Yi scolded: "It's a bunch of nonsense! If you eat it by mistake, it's not a serious problem, and you don't have to cry like this!"
Shen Yanbei's answer was...he just ate a pepper!
"Yanbei!" Gu Changfeng frowned, his face full of worry.
The familiar spicy taste lingered on the tip of the tongue, and Shen Yanbei almost burst into tears!
Finally found a pepper for him!
Boiled fish!Spicy Chicken!Spicy pot!Mapo tofu!
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Shen Yanbei eat the pepper, Su Wanqing hurriedly said: "Bring sugar water!"
Soon the sugar water was served, and Su Wanqing carefully fed it to her son.The little birthday star smashed his mouth, stopped crying, reached out and took the initiative to hold the bowl and gulped down a bowl of sugar water!
Li Yi's face was gloomy, and his fists under the armhole were tightly clenched.
After the little birthday star drank the sugar water, his mouth was flattened, and he began to cry again: "It hurts!"
Su Wanqing and Li Zhiyuan went to see Shen Yanbei, and Shen Yanbei comforted him: "The spiciness will not disappear all at once, it will only gradually fade away. Find something for him to play with, and it will be fine after a while."
"Shen Xiucai, I advise you not to pretend to understand!" Li Yi sneered.
Ignoring Li Yi's cynicism, Shen Yanbei asked Zhou Yu to take out the box containing the gift: "This is a little gift from the student, and I gave it to the young master. I wish the young master a happy birthday! Happiness and well-being!"
Too scheming!Giving gifts in full view!If you don't charge it, you have to charge it!Everyone secretly scolded Shen Yanbei for being cunning.
The young man looked natural, Li Zhiyuan hesitated and opened the box.
When everyone stepped forward to take a look, they were all dumbfounded.
There were no valuables in the box, just some colored pieces of wood and a few books.
"This is?" Li Zhiyuan picked up the book and flipped through it, the more he looked at it, the more dignified his expression became.
Putting down the book, Li Zhiyuan took out the small wooden block: "How do I get this?"
"This is building blocks." Shen Yanbei smiled and used building blocks to build a house in front of everyone.
Little Shouxing stopped crying, stared at the building block with bright eyes, and reached out eagerly: "Daddy! I want it!"
The stone in Su Wanqing's heart fell to the ground, she looked at Shen Yanbei gratefully, and asked someone to take the toy aside for her son to play with.
Accompanied by the maidservant, Xiao Shou Xing played with Di Gao Gao, laughing so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.Li Yi's face was stained with ink, and he couldn't wait.
An accident, near misses.
Everyone returned to the banquet. This time, instead of complimenting Li Yi, they toasted Shen Yanbei with a smile and asked about those gadgets.
Who doesn't have many children these days?The county magistrate didn't let them read those books at all, but those building blocks are good things!The little boy who didn't watch the county magistrate forgot the pain?
Seeing that everyone was so curious about children's toys, Shen Yanbei wanted to sell a toy, but he still remembered the two pots of peppers.
"How do you know it's pepper?" Li Zhiyuan asked curiously.
"The private rooms in my restaurant are sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and the only taste that is 'spicy' is missing!" The private rooms are named after the five flavors, and the decoration inside is naturally themed with the five flavors.Since there was no chili, he used ginger.
Li Zhiyuan was stunned: "This can still be cooked?" There are corresponding dishes in the private room named after the five flavors, and he has never eaten spicy dishes.
"Yes." Shen Yanbei replied, without beating around the bush, he just asked for two pots of peppers.
Li Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Take it, there will be a new dish at that time, I will definitely try it."
This time, Li Zhiyuan didn't use 'my official', but me.The subtle gap made Shen Yanbei narrow his eyes with a smile: "Students will definitely wait for you!"
