Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 35
Li Zijun straightened his clothes in a hurry, and walked out with big strides.

If the county venerable comes, as one of the few scholars in the village, he is definitely needed to accompany him. Those around Mr. Liu are fine, but he is not good at poetry and books. If he wants to accompany the county lord well, he has to rely on himself after all.

Li Zijun walked out of the house all the way, and immediately saw... a brown, very wide carriage parked in front of the Gu family's gate, and a lot of people surrounded the slightly mottled and old courtyard gate of the Gu family, not far away, Mr. Liu and several locals The big family came in a hurry.

He paused in his footsteps, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Why does the magistrate seem to have gone to the Gu family?

In his mind, he remembered that the county government asked Gu Xiang to work as a cook in the Yongyi Army, but his thoughts changed in a flash, and he still never connected the county magistrate with Gu Xiang.

How can a cook, who is not on the table, have anything to do with such a big man?The magistrate might not even remember who Gu Xiang was.

It was probably for those things about repairing the embankment.The Gu family has some skills in doing such rough work.

Li Zijun hesitated at his feet, and continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, he heard a soft shout from the yamen servant standing at the door: "Stop, what are you doing?"

The gleaming knife was half out of its sheath, and the chill hit his face. Li Zijun broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted to the front with a smile on his face: "Liu Gong, student Li Zijun, I heard that the county lord has come to our Guzhuang, and I am here to pay a visit... ..."

Liu Chuanfu blinked: "A student from the county school?"

Li Zijun blushed, although he felt that his talent was enough to enter the county school, but others didn't have the vision and refused to recommend it.

Before Li Zijun could speak again, no one else cared about him anymore.The sound of footsteps and the laughter of Wang Zhixian came from the yard: "Third Lady, don't be as polite as that one. As far as Third Lady's craftsmanship is concerned, let alone eighty liters of pickled vegetables, two hundred liters a jar is worth a lot."

Several yamen servants and the old dog came out with three pitch-black clay pots. Wang Zhixian walked a few steps quickly, helped to open the car door, turned his head and smiled at the helpless Gu Xiang, and told the old dog and Ah Feng to go Move things below.

In addition to all kinds of snacks and drinks, there are brightly colored cloth and satin.

Gu Xiang walked out of the courtyard, without even looking at Li Zijun, he just raised his hand and touched the center of his eyebrows: "Why do you still bring so many things?"

"It's all given by others during the holidays. The color is so bright, which means you young women like it. My wife is not here, so it's useless to keep it."

The things in the car were cleaned, and Wang Zhixian personally took care of the three clay pots moved out of Gu's house, while turning his head and smiling at Gu Xiang: "It's agreed, one jar of eighty characters, and the remaining six jars are left to me. .”

"My surname is Wang, you think so beautifully, I'll give it to you, and you won't be afraid of being spoiled!"

Lieutenant Zhou County rode over leisurely, but just as he turned a corner, he heard Wang Zhixian's voice, and immediately galloped his horse to the door of Gu's house. Leave half of it first."

He glared at Wang Zhixian, then turned his head to look at Gu Xiang and Gu Laoshi who was chasing after him, Zhou County Lieutenant tried to show a gentle smile on his stiff face.

"Brother Xian, you're being polite. I'm taking the liberty to visit. I hope you'll forgive me. It's really that my wife has not had a good appetite recently, and I only like this mouthful of pickled vegetables made by the third lady."

Wang Zhixian: "Oh!"

Neither of them took their families with them when they went to the post.

Gu Laoshi: "..."

Since he was born, the biggest official he has ever seen is Li Zheng, and he is really a little panicked at this moment.

Gu Xiang was also taken aback by these two: "I left a few large altars in Huotouying... Forget it, anyway, I will return to Huotouying in a few days. If you two like pickled vegetables, I will Just pickle a few more jars."

She is not in the kitchen, Lao Du and the others may not be willing to take out the pickles for everyone to eat.

Wang Zhixian smiled: "I'm not like Lao Zhou, who only cares about talking. I'm here to see Brother Gu Xian. Brother Xian, it's like this. I have a little nephew in my family who was just selected as a scholar last year. He is now 25 years old. ..."

Gu Xiang: "Ahem."

Wang Zhixian hesitated for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, my nephew is a bit older, but he is really a good boy. The reason why he is now a scholar is all because the elders in the family have passed away one after another in the past few years, which delayed the delay." Sometimes, when it comes to talent and learning, I will guarantee that there will be no problem."

Gu Laoshi: "..."

Zhouxian Wei just took off the soil instrument he brought from his horse, looked at Wang Zhixian, and said: "It will take a few years for a scholar to get a title on the gold list. If you want me to say, it's better to find a well-off family with a mother-in-law." It is better to be tolerant and loving, and to allow the third lady to be free. I have a nephew..."

All the villagers watching outside were dumbfounded.And Gu Zhuang, the big landlord, Liu Chuanfu, raised his eyes to look at Gu Laoshi's simple and honest face, and sighed in his heart, it really is the old saying that good, simple people are blessed.

Li Zijun's whole body was stiff, and he was at a loss.

Gu Xiang put his hands on his forehead: "...I just tried to make some instant noodles. If there is no problem, maybe they can be used as military rations. I wonder if you two can give the little girl some advice?"

The two immediately forgot about their nephews and nephews.

Gu Xiang smiled, glanced at the clan elders who came with Liu Chuanfu and Mr. Liu, and said politely: "Grandpa Liu, second uncle, third uncle, please come in."

When she was cooking yesterday, she pulled a bunch of thin noodles by the way. This morning, she got up early in the morning, steamed, dried and fried the small noodle cakes. Except for irregular shapes, there are big and small, and some noodle colors Apart from being gray, it is no different from modern ones, and in terms of taste, it is even better.

Picked up a few pieces of bread with chopsticks and threw them into the boiling water pot. Gu Xiang took out a few eggs and cracked them in, and then scooped in a spoonful of sauce. The fragrance was overflowing in an instant, and Goro couldn't help but pick it up. Swallowing while looking at the kitchen window.

Gu Xiang smiled, cooking noodles couldn't be faster, so she just served a bowl for each person, even her share.

The noodles are full of strength, and the soup is even more oily and fragrant. Gu Xiang felt that even when instant noodles were a luxury for her, she had never tasted such a good taste.

Wang Zhixian and Zhou Xianwei squatted shoulder to shoulder at the door of the kitchen, stuffing noodles into their mouths snortingly, sweating profusely, reluctant to look up.

Liu Chuanfu and the members of the Gu family refused to give up the opportunity to get close to the county magistrate and county lieutenant, so they all lifted up their robes solemnly and squatted on the spot.

But as soon as the noodles were in the mouth, the group forgot their original purpose, and just focused on eating hard.

Gu Laoshi held the bowl and looked at the stone table and stone bench in the shade of the trees not far away, and squatted down silently... It seems that he would seem very out of place if he went to eat at the table now.

A group of people were having a good meal, and there was another knock on the door outside. Gu Xiang held down Father, and got up to open the door by himself.

Li Sheng was carrying a wooden box, and stood outside in an orderly manner: "Today, the Zhuangzi in Beijing sent some earthen ritual instruments, but the Duke couldn't use them, so he divided them among the lieutenant officers and soldiers. This is the third lady." Yes, the little one happened to be passing by, so I specially brought it for you."

Gu Xiang: "..."
