Chapter 405 Pufferfish

The person who promoted Yu Qian to be the governor of Jiangxi was Zhu Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who was seconded by Yang Shiqi. After Zhang Ning agreed, this major event was finally confirmed.Within two days, Zhang Ning hosted a banquet at the Ganquan Pavilion on Shahu Island to entertain a group of officials in Wuchang, which was also regarded as Yu Qian's practice before departure.

At that time, the weather was clear and cloudy, the breeze was blowing slowly, the water was calm, and there were women playing the flute outside the pavilion.The flute in Wuchang is very famous, because there is a kind of reed pipe produced on Shahu Lake. Musical instruments, he ordered people to make reed pipes into flutes, which became a fashion for a while.Therefore, it is most appropriate to visit Shahu Lake and listen to the sound of flute.

A group of people gathered together, blowing the cool and humid wind, listening to the sound of the flute, and waiting for the food to be served in a cozy atmosphere of talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

The delicacies are also mainly aquatic products from rivers and lakes, such as crab roe, fish and shrimp, etc., which are made in various styles.At this moment, someone in the seat pointed to a dish that had just been served and said, "Isn't this puffer fish?"

Even well-informed literati and bureaucrats, many people have never eaten this stuff, and they all lowered their heads to look at the new dishes in front of them, because it is said that puffer fish is highly poisonous, and if they are not careful, they will die suddenly. [

A young official in the same seat immediately got up and cupped his fists and said: "Your official heard that this food is delicious, but the internal organs are poisonous, so you must be careful. Please try it for the prince first if you dare to eat it."

After hearing this, Zhang Ning immediately praised: "Loyalty is commendable."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman's cold voice suddenly said: "Puffer fish is poisonous. It is known in the world that cooking this food requires knife skills. There are rules in the world. Whoever cooks it should try it. I can't break the rules."

Zhang Ning and the others heard the voice, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a young lady in a white dress standing outside the pavilion.Seeing her appearance, Zhang Ning felt a chill in his heart on this sunny summer day.A face that was as white as blood, even the expression was extremely indifferent.It was an elegant feast full of interest, but Zhang Ning suddenly felt that everything was meaningless... A feeling of disregard for life came to mind.Could this woman be an assassin?

But he quickly realized from the woman's attire that she was a sword servant in white from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Out of some kind of mood, Zhang Ning suddenly became interested in this woman, and blurted out, "Who are you and what is your name?"

The woman replied: "The humble name is Ji Chou, the guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Hearing this name, Zhang Ning's first reaction was that this woman was not ugly, if it wasn't for her lifeless face, she would actually be quite pretty.But he soon realized that this ugliness is not that ugly, and that ugliness is just a ranking, just like the other white-clothed sword servant he knew named Xin Wei, A, B, C, Ding, that's all, there is no other meaning.

A maid brought up a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ji Chou picked up a little bit of fish on each plate, and then ate it in public.After a while, she said: "My lord and your lords can rest assured to eat."

At this time, Yu Qian stood up and clasped his fists and said: "My minister dares to speak out, human life is at stake, and taking human life as a priority for the taste of tongue will damage the wisdom of the prince. It is even more likely to teach those high-ranking and powerful families to follow suit, which is not good for the people. Please give me an order." Do not eat fugu."

"Ting Yi is an upright and virtuous minister." Zhang Ning praised, "However, it is said that it is not easy to eat puffer fish. It is not easy for Ji Chou to cook delicious food for you. Now that it has been proved that eating is an obstacle, let's not waste it Okay, how about after this meal?"

Zhang Ning thought that when the fugu dish was served today, Yu Qian would rush to try it for himself to show his loyalty. After all, such a large military power was entrusted to him, there must be a sign that you will come and go, right?Who would have thought that there would be a fasting fugu.

Seeing this, Yang Shiqi also persuaded him, saying that today's happy gathering is not about business, but about love and moon.

So everyone raised their glasses to respect the king of Xiang first, and then wished Yu Shilang a victory in sending troops to the flag. After drinking two glasses of wine, after Zhang Ning picked up the chopsticks, everyone prepared to taste today's delicacy.

Zhang Ning first put a piece of fish in his mouth, and immediately felt that the dish was delicious and unusual. Fang felt that the taste was bland when he tasted it, but the more he tasted it, the more unique it became.Immediately, he asked Ji Chou who was standing by: "It tastes good, this dish you made? How did you cook it?" Ji Chou's tone was still cold: "Choose fresh fish and cut it up first, and then put less on the iron plate Some clear oil, sprinkle some salt, put the fish on it and fry until cooked."

Everyone listened to Zhang Ning's delicious food, and they all echoed, "I never thought that such a delicious food could be made with such a simple method.

Ji Chou said indifferently: "Ordinary dishes are eaten with seasoning, ginger, garlic, coriander, salt and vinegar. The best ingredients only need to reflect their original taste."

After Zhang Ning heard it, he found it interesting. When he turned his head to look, he saw that Yu Qian also picked up the chopsticks to pick up the puffer fish meat, and his heart became happy again.Sure enough, Yu Qian is not a really pedantic and stubborn person.

... After drinking and eating, everyone went ashore in a building boat. Among the flowers, plants and trees on the north bank of Shahu Lake, there was a courtyard that was once the property of King Chu. After Chu Mengtan escaped, it was logical that the Ministry of Internal Affairs took over.Zhang Ning saw that this place was quiet and there were few idlers, so he wanted to go and have a look. He immediately said that he would stay here and asked the guards to send the officials back to the mansion first. [

He led a group of followers through a bamboo forest, but saw that the outside of the house was full of chopped bamboo, but it seemed that no one had managed it for a long time, and the bamboo pile was full of stagnant water.The guards opened the door and went in first, followed by Zhang Ning. There were also many tools and reeds in the yard.An attendant from the Ministry of Internal Affairs next to him said: "This place used to be the house of the Chu Palace. It may be responsible for weaving some bamboo and cutting reed flutes for the palace. Afterwards, no one managed it, and the few craftsmen inside did not know where they were. trace.

Zhang Ning nodded, casually entered the room and walked up a staircase.The guard hurriedly opened a room, took off his clothes and tidied up the tables inside, and invited Zhang Ning to take a seat.Seeing that he hadn't left for a while, a middle-aged man ordered people to go to the kitchen to pack up the utensils and make tea.Zhang Ning looked around, thinking that the last time he had a tryst with Dong Shi, if it was here, no one would bother him, and he could take it easy.

He pointed at Ji Chou and said, "You stay." Then he waved his sleeves, and everyone exited the room knowingly.

At this moment, Ji Chou didn't wait for Zhang Ning to ask, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I have something to tell the prince, the crown prince (Wen Kui) was killed by his own hands."

"Oh?" Zhang Ning suddenly looked up at her face.

Ji Chou said: "I didn't expect that I could live till now."

Zhang Ning nodded, "The puffer fish meat is really delicious, no wonder people would eat it if it is highly poisonous... What do you think of Yu Shilang?"

Ji Chou said: "The subordinates don't know."

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "Everyone has their own feelings, what's your impression?"

"It's quite annoying." Ji Chou said without hesitation, "I don't have a good impression of this kind of official who keeps saying that he is for the people. If the prince wants to kill him, I will definitely take his head easily."

Zhang Ning was stunned, "When did I say I wanted to kill him? You are too hostile, you are really a dangerous girl."

His ugly expression remained silent.Zhang Ning said "Blowfish" twice, and with a thought, he stretched out his hand to hold her hand. Ji Chou's hand trembled slightly and did not resist, looking directly at Zhang Ning with a pair of cold and bright eyes.

Zhang Ning turned a blind eye, pulled her to his lap, put one hand behind her skirt, but said: "You said that the good fish only needs to retain the original taste, why do you need to add salt?"

Ji Chou remained motionless and said, "Salt can 'force out' the taste of fish, otherwise it will be bland."

"So that's it." Zhang Ning ordered, "Untie the belt and let me taste your original taste."

Ji Chou was stunned for a moment, and then had no choice but to untie the belt according to the words. She remained calm, but her hands trembled slightly.Zhang Ning stood up suddenly, put his arms around her waist, buried his face on her chest and took a deep breath. The breasts were not plump, but he felt that the "breast"|breast in the clothes was very "sexual". Strong, she has no fat on her body, and her lines are very good.

The bitch stepped back nervously and bumped against the edge of the table, then sat down on the table.Zhang Ning lifted her white blouse, kissed and tasted the skin of her abdomen, and then went all the way down...

"My lord, you... ah!" Xin Chou gritted his teeth and raised his head, and couldn't help inserting his fingers into his bun, letting him bury his head in it, but there was nothing he could do.

After a while, she trembled, opened her eyes, and felt that there was someone outside the door, then turned her head to look at the door, but her mind was blank.Maybe it was the tea delivery person who came up and heard the commotion inside and didn't dare to come in to disturb King Xiang's good affairs, but he was worried that something might happen and he couldn't leave, so he had to stay outside.

After a long time, Ji Chou straightened his clothes silently, his face flushed slightly, and he finally had blood.She whispered, "You really dare to eat anything."

……

In a quiet courtyard of the Chu Palace, the corridor outside the room is also built of wood off the ground, and it is spotlessly clean and free from dirt.Chunmei was standing outside a room, and Ji Chou next to her was kneeling on the ground.A quiet and pleasant voice inside said: "The prince really didn't have sex with you?"

Chunmei continued: "You have to tell the truth about Ji Chou, there is nothing you can't say in front of Madam, if you lie, you won't be able to tell if you lie."

Ji Chou said, "No."

Chunmei asked for Mrs. Yao, "Then what is your bed called? Someone overheard it. What did you do in it?"

Ji Chou's face was blushing: "My lord lifts up... his subordinate's skirt, and eats under me. I was holding back, but I don't know when I made a noise."

"You seduced the prince?" Chunmei laughed.

Ji Chou said: "I dare not. The prince ate fugu, which is poisonous but delicious, and then he said he wanted to taste my... taste. The subordinate dare not disobey."
