Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 331
When Gu Xiang heard the word Wang Xianggong, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile, "Prime Minister Wang's daughter?"

"Yes, Wang Pingping."

Li Chengyu was just a chatterbox in front of acquaintances, Gu Xiang gave her a little response, and she could talk for a long time.

"Wang Pingping, the most talented woman in our capital, can write poems, is good at planting flowers, and is also beautiful. She has always been the number one person in the circle of ladies in the capital, but I don't know her well. A second-rate family like our Li family, Wang Pingping has always looked down on her."

"Don't talk about us, there are many princesses, princesses, and others don't like to play together, except for the third princess."

"I don't know if it's true or not. It seems that I heard that Wang Pingping once buried the eldest princess face to face. She said that she was a dignified princess who was obsessed with love and had no sense of self-respect."

"If you ask me, it should be chasing rumors. If it's true, with the eldest princess' temper... Uh, the eldest princess really doesn't necessarily care about her with a few gossips from a little lady like her, but Wang Xianggong is a sensible person. If his daughter is really so ignorant, Wang Xianggong will definitely teach her. Well, speaking of it, ever since the rumors that Wang Pingping ran on the eldest princess in person, she was taken by her mother to visit her aunt in Quanzhou, and never returned to Beijing. "

Gu Xiang was thoughtful.

Li Chengyu blinked: "Hey, why are you mentioning her? I mean, nowadays in the capital, it is a matter of long faces for young ladies of the right age to have a few good men. The more honest they are, the less others will say anything. Afraid to hide it."

"This is what my sister-in-law told me. She said that I have reached my age. If I meet a young gentleman on the Lantern Festival or in other public places to express his admiration for me, that's okay. But if there is something People behind people's backs secretly said some things to me secretly, so I must immediately distance myself and tell my elder brother immediately."

Li Chengyu laughed, "However, there are really such fools who read too many books written by literati and scholars, and think that there is a wall between the ladies and gentlemen, and when they hear a scholar outside reciting poems against each other, they immediately fall in love with each other."

"What are they dreaming about? This is the capital city. We can hold poetry meetings every day when we have nothing to do. We see a lot of talented people. If it is not for the son of the top scholar, where can we find some admiration? If there is really With that talent, which daughter do you really like, wouldn't it be good to entrust the official media to talk about marriage? No matter how bad it is, there are many opportunities to meet and interview each other's hearts in a fair manner. What good does it do them?"

Gu Xiang smiled lightly, nodded and said, "That's very true."

"Anyway, San Niang, don't worry, this rumor is really not a big deal."

Li Chengyu smiled and said, "However, Mr. Li seems to have encountered some troubles recently. I heard that Zhang Sheren and Mr. Li had a fight in Funing Palace yesterday. At that time, several old elders were present, and His Majesty was also there. Immediately, they were fined [-] yuan each." Stick, tsk, he is still in good health, if it was my eldest brother, he would be dead if he was beaten with twenty sticks, but these two people walked out of the palace gate without even lifting them."

Gu Xiang: "..."

It is true that Li Sheng is so healthy.

That Zhang Sheren, I'm afraid something will happen.

Gu Xiang was a little worried, but Zhang Sheren was born in a noble family, and His Majesty is also tolerant and kind, so there must be an imperial doctor at this time to treat him.

After thinking for a while, she turned around and went back to the house, took out two jars of medicinal wine from the kitchen, called Wang Ermu over and said with a smile, "Take this jar of wine to Li Changsui, and I'll prepare a food box for some Dim sum, don't forget to tell Mr. Li to heal his wounds and take care of his body for me."

Wang Ermu nodded in agreement.

Gu Xiang put the yam and rose dumplings he made, mung bean cake, red bean cake, rose osmanthus cake, and some perilla paste into a food box for Wang Ermu to take out.

"Gudu."

Li Chengyu couldn't help swallowing again, luckily she only had Fu'er with her, and now the Huang mother sent by her sister-in-law to teach her seriously is not here, otherwise she would have to listen to the admonition again when she went home.

Now that she has become more plump, my sister-in-law controls her diet and only lets her eat light food, and also removes the snacks.

It has been a long time since she had tasted sweet, soft and delicious desserts. Although Gu Xiang's desserts are the simplest things, they are actually very beautiful in appearance. Mung bean cake is that kind of clear green, a bit like transparent Yu, the red bean cake is also beautiful.

Even the unattractive perilla paste looks golden red, very beautiful.

The sweetness is even stronger, men are okay, but for women, it is so delicious that they cannot eat it, it is a great torture.

Letting Wang Ermu carry away the small food box seemed to take away Li Chengyu's heart.

Gu Xiang: "..."

She blinked: "So pitiful? Then you can eat some, half a meal, don't be afraid."

Li Chengyu is very principled, and promised his sister-in-law not to eat these greasy foods, so she insisted on not eating them, and tried her best to bear it: "By the way, I heard that some famous diners in the capital are doing "Old Glutton Exploring Food" The few from ", are going to start judging the golden chefs in our capital, Sanniang, your bowl meat is also on the list, so you can participate in this time's golden chef selection."

"The name of the golden chef is also the name of the group of diners, the old gourmets themselves. Most of them have money and leisure. They wander around all day long, exploring delicious food. At the beginning, when they encounter delicious food, they tip those who eat it. Cook's gold."

"Later even His Majesty advocated frugality, and the old gourmets changed their style in private, and put gold leaf on the name of the chef they liked. Its steamed sea bass won the gold leaf of all the diners, and was dubbed the Golden Chef, and it seems that since then, the gang of gourmets have called the top chef the Golden Chef in their privately published "Exploring Food."

"Nowadays in the entire capital, apart from the four Golden Kitchens in Fan Lou, there are only three Golden Kitchens outside. Once they become Golden Kitchens, it will be a big deal. The business will definitely explode."

Gu Xiang was slightly surprised: "There is such a thing?"

After all, in such an era, cooks are nothing more than low-class cooks.

Gu Xiang and Li Chengyu were chatting here. Li Sheng had already received the delicious medicinal wine and snacks. He immediately drank a glass of wine, thought about it after drinking, sighed, and reluctantly put away the snacks and wine: "Zhang Bing, come. Take this food box and wine to Zhang Sheren."

Zhang Bing was startled, staring blankly at the food box.

Li Duzhi finally couldn't help it, and wanted to attack Zhang Sheren?

After thinking about it, he didn't show up, so he found a chazi who had some relationship with the Zhang family, and secretly brought the food box in secretly.

Anyway, it was given away, and the rest can only depend on Zhang Sheren's luck. If he is poisoned to death, it will be his fate.
