Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 3 Save the screen

Half an hour later, the banquet officially began.

On the corridor not far from the screen, Wen Shu was leaning on the corridor pillar, eating the green fruit sent by the maid sent by the host family, and was about to sigh sweetly, when he heard a burst of fine crackling from behind the rockery on the right. voice.

"Hey, see, that is Lu Shaoqing, who is really young and promising!"

"Yeah, she doesn't look as old as my brother."

Wen Shu looked sideways, and saw that several maids from Yushifu were chatting together, and one of them was the maid in red who had just brought her fruit.

"Of course, I heard that Mr. Lu is a young man, how old is your brother?" There was some disdain in the words.

The maid who was being ridiculed smiled and was not angry, and sighed: "My elder brother is no match for Lu Shaoqing. When my elder brother was his age, he was arguing about marrying his sister-in-law. It's not like Mr. Lu, who sat on the table at a young age." Once you take the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, from now on, you will surely flourish, and your future will be limitless."

"Hey, according to what you mean, maybe you still want to be Mrs. Shaoqing."

The maid in green blushed, and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't make fun of me. What is Lu Shaoqing's identity and what is my identity? I don't even dare to think about being a concubine."

"It's pretty self-aware." The maid in red laughed: "Lu Shaoqing was born in the noble marquis's mansion, and his wife will surely be a high-ranking official in the future, a lady from a famous family. With our identities, it's better not to wishful thinking."

"What my sister said is that we don't have this kind of daydream, but Mr. Lu is also pitiful. He was born in the waiting mansion, but he didn't occupy half of the waiting mansion. I have been promoted to four levels in a row within a year, all climbing up by my own ability."

While eating the fruit, Wen Shu listened to the gossip, and had an extra comment on Lu Shaoqing in front of the screen.

He is a ruthless man!It is not easy to be promoted to four levels in two years in a capital city full of officials!
Not mentioning the whispers of the maids, nor the thoughts of Wen Shu, a spectator, at the moment Lu Yuancheng at the wine table was thinking about what kind of excuse he should find later, to avoid everyone's sight and go to the backyard to search for the contribution list .

Looking at the simple and unadorned courtyard, a sneer slipped across his lips as he lowered his head to drink.

Who would know that Wang Yushi, who is known for being upright and neutral in life, is actually a leftist party, and he is also his right-hand man behind his extravagant desire to make money.

If it is not a new life.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the wine glass tightened involuntarily.

Just when he almost crushed the wine glass, Wang Yushi, who was toasting at the front table, finally turned around, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Your Excellency just took the time to congratulate you as soon as you recovered from your injury. Wang is really ashamed. Today, I will offer you a glass of thin wine." , Sir Shaoqing, please."

Hearing the sound, Lu Yuancheng had no choice but to hold back his emotions, stood up and toasted, and said with a gentle smile, "Your Majesty, you are welcome, please."

Wang Yushi brought the wine glass to his lips and drank it down, then lit up the glass and said: "This old man has a full drink, my lord has just recovered from his injury, but you don't need to force it, you can do whatever you want."

Lu Yuancheng nodded, and brought the wine glass to his lips, the light yellow liquid in the glass shimmered, and at this moment he suddenly thought about it.

The next moment, everyone saw that his figure was crooked, and he staggered and fell towards the screen on the right. At the same time, the wine glass fell off his hand, and there was a crisp sound of broken porcelain on the bluestone board.

This scene happened in the blink of an eye, not to mention that Wang Yushi, who was still a table away from him, didn't expect it, or that Zhang Du Yushi, who was drinking at the same table with him, didn't react, and could only watch helplessly. to the screen.

The only person present who was able to react in a timely manner was Wen Shu who was not far behind, keeping an eye on this side all the time, lest there be a problem with the screen and he would be held accountable.

Seeing that something was going to happen to that expensive screen, Wen Shu's heart almost jumped out of his chest in an instant!

Immediately, the instinctive reaction of the body was faster than the mind, and he rushed up like the wind, and when Lu Yuancheng was about to lean against the screen, he bent his elbow on his waist with one hand, and supported the precarious screen with the other hand.

But in this way, the two forces on the left and right sides pressed up at the same time, even if she had a lot of self-esteem, she couldn't help but her knees softened and she fell to the ground.But what she did made Lu Yuancheng's calculations come to naught, and his face turned dark in shock at the moment.

Which bastard ruined his good deeds!
He thought to himself, and when he took a sneak peek, he found that he was lying sideways on that person, and his face could not be seen clearly from the height of his feet.All he could see was a shiny black head and a white neck protruding from his collar, especially a bright red on it, which made him stunned in place for an instant!

This birthmark.
Lu Yuancheng's face was full of surprise, and he was about to think about it. Finally, Wang Yushi and the others came to his senses, and rushed to help him, asking repeatedly: "My lord, is your lord alright?"

Seeing this situation, Lu Yuancheng, who was interrupted from thinking, simply did his tricks, pretended to be weak and was supported by them to get up, and secretly exercised his kung fu to make his face pale a little.

Wang Yushi saw that his complexion was not good, and he said with concern: "My lord is not feeling well, should I send someone to invite the doctor?"

"No need!" Lu Wucheng waved his hand weakly: "It's just a little dizzy, just want to come and rest for a while, but it's just a mess of the adult's wedding banquet, it's really rude"

"What did my lord say, this matter is Wang's fault, I forgot that my lord's injury has just recovered, so I should pay more attention to it."

"Don't blame my lord, I was careless." After finishing speaking, Lu Yuancheng supported the table with one hand, turned to Wen Shu behind him, and said weakly, "I just thanked this little brother for helping me, but I don't know how to call him?"

At this time, Wen Shu had just got up with Li Qing's support and was rubbing his sore wrist. Hearing this, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect this lord to pay attention to her.

After being stunned for a long time, he said slowly: "My surname is Wen, what happened just now is nothing more than a little effort, and it's nothing, adults don't need to worry about it."

She replied in a polite manner, but Lu Yuancheng on the other side took this opportunity to look at her openly. When his eyes fell on her earlobe, he saw that there was indeed a small invisible eye on it, so he couldn't help guessing more firmly.

At this time, Wang Yushi who was on the side said: "My lord is not feeling well, so I should sit down and rest. This little brother deserves a reward for his bravery in saving lives." As he spoke, he called his servant and asked him to get the red seal.

Wen Shu didn't expect such unexpected joy, her eyes lit up immediately, and even her sore left hand felt less pain.

After giving instructions, Wang Yushi turned to Lu Yuancheng again: "It's just that this place is noisy, so it's not as quiet as the guest house. Why don't I send someone to help you down to rest?"

These words hit Lu Yuancheng's heart, he nodded immediately, and said softly: "Then I'll have to work."

Lu Yuancheng was helped down, and the other guests continued to eat, still laughing and talking loudly, nothing changed because of this incident, and Wen Shu, who continued to watch under the corridor, also received a red envelope from the servant.

She squeezed it with her hands, and the thin texture should be Jiaozi, but the face value has to be opened to find out.

　Reading tip: Name the thing.

　　According to data, people in the Song Dynasty called officials "officials" instead of "adults". In the Song Dynasty, adults meant daddy, and it was only after the Yuan Dynasty that they became the title of officials.

　　However, deeply influenced by TV dramas, we are used to listening to adults, and it feels awkward to suddenly change to "officials".

　　Think about it, everyone, if Mr. Lu becomes an official Lu, do you think it would be pleasant?
　　So Xiaogu continued to use the familiar title of "adult".

　　There are also women's self-proclaimed, Song Dynasty women generally called themselves slaves, concubines.For example: slave family, concubine body.
