The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 50 It's Not That Simple

Not long after, Minzhi brought the servants to the big plate of noodles and sauce, vegetables and fruit plate.Exactly according to the way they ate by themselves just now, Minzhi rubbed his hands together a little awkwardly: "Ama Huang, they are all home-cooked snacks, which made Ama Huang laugh." Kangxi smelled the fragrance and looked at the shiny noodles "Old eighth daughter-in-law, did you come up with this?" Min Zhi said embarrassingly while arranging the bowls and chopsticks by herself: "Our master has not recovered yet, and his spleen and stomach are weak. I listened to the doctor's advice and prepared these noodles. , It's hot today, I don't need meat...but I don't know that Huang Ama is here, it's a bit..." As she spoke, she carefully aimed in Yinhu's direction, looking like a woman in the house, who didn't see the big world.

Kangxi didn't like that: "My eighth daughter-in-law, this is in your own home. You don't need to do this. Serve me a bowl and let me have a taste..." Wu Shulai on the side bowed and exited the study knowingly. Holding a person holding a crimson vermilion lacquer box, Minzhi stood aside stupidly, watching Wu Shulai open the box and put out one by one: an enamel porcelain plate with a golden dragon pattern, and a bright yellow inner gold lacquer plate of the same series. One small bowl, four plates of different sizes, one ivory bone chopstick rest, two pairs of small round-headed dragon and phoenix silver chopsticks, topped with emeralds.Two red wood carving spoons with ivory handles, one fruit fork with a colored porcelain handle inlaid with silver... When these things were put out, Yinhu took it for granted, and Minzhi was completely dumbfounded: What is ostentation, this is the royal ostentation, just these The tableware took up more than half of the tabletop, and looking at the ones in my own house that were stacked aside, they were nothing but scraps of metal!The co-author of the old man has made up his mind to come over for a meal, so he has to prepare his own things.

Yinhu stood on Kangxi's right hand side, facing Minzhi. Seeing his wife's face turning red and then pale, she knew she was feeling uncomfortable, so she bowed and said, "My son will serve you dinner." To Minzhi, Minzhi received the signal, bent her knees, and just about to speak, Kangxi said: "Old daughter-in-law, give me noodles..." Minzhi straightened her slumped face: "Yes!" A pair of chopsticks picked up a handful and a roll, put them into a larger plate, picked out a little bit of meat sauce, a little bit of bean sprouts, put them in the bowl, and put the noodles on top. To whom to pass the bowl, isn't there a eunuch who tastes the meal?

Wu Shu came to see Minzhi paused, and kindly came over: "Bafujin, give it to the servant." He took the bowl in his hand and handed it directly to Kangxi.Kangxi picked up another pair of chopsticks and put a little bit into his mouth.Minzhi was unprecedentedly nervous at this moment, staring at Kangxi's mouth, afraid of uttering something bad, after waiting for a long time, Kangxi put down his chopsticks: "Old daughter-in-law, this meat sauce has taken a lot of thought..." Min Zhi bowed: "Return to Huang Ama's words: "It's beef and rabbit meat. "Well, the taste of this noodle is also very special, spicy but not irritating, sour and sweet...I didn't expect you to be able to eat it..." Minzhi complained: Who can't eat...people are honest He lowered his head and said nothing.

Kangxi sucked the noodles slowly, as if he was savoring the taste slowly. Minzhi and Yinhu stood on each side like two stone statues, and there was no sound in the room.It wasn't until Kangxi put down his chopsticks and Wu Shulai handed over a towel that Kangxi said, "Lao Ba's family, what kind of tea do you drink?" Minzhi bowed and said, "Huang Ama, drinking tea immediately after a meal hurts the spleen and stomach. My wife prepared a fruit plate." , just to digest.” Kangxi looked at the plate, reached out with a fruit fork and inserted a peeled grape pulp: “Is this grown by your family?” “Huhuang Ama, these are all from Zhuangzi. The flour is also made from homemade wheat..." Minzhi said in a low voice. "Oh? Really? No wonder you complained to me about the lack of manpower..." Kangxi ate some fruit and finally stopped: "Okay, I ate the noodles and the fruit. It's time for me to go back, so you don't have to send them away." ..." Minzhi was astonished, did he eat a little more than ants?This is too wasteful...

Although there is no need to send it off, Yinhu still sent Kangxi to the door before turning back. When he came back, he saw Minzhi sitting in a chair, staring at the food that had hardly been touched in a daze: "What's wrong with you, you just had an ugly face?" Zhi looked up: "Why did Huang Ama suddenly think of coming here to eat? The scene of setting the table and chopsticks just now...was so powerful..." Yinhu curled his lips: "Are you frightened like this? The imperial catering emperor Ama once A meal of 99 dishes, if you see it, won’t you even be able to stand still..."

Minzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "There are 99 dishes of imperial meals that are not used, so I came to our small place to show off, what on earth is Huang Ama going to do..." Yinhu narrowed his eyes: "I came to remind me Here I am, changing the funeral of the fifth sister tomorrow, I am afraid it will not be so simple... Fourth brother..." Minzhi interrupted him: "Do you still eat?" "Huh? You can eat, just eat here, and come in after eating say."

Minzhi ate a little in a hurry, then asked someone to evacuate, and went in with a fruit plate.Seeing that Yinhu was still studying the roster, she sat on the soft couch and continued to eat her fruit while waiting for him to speak.After waiting for a long time, Yinhu opened his mouth: "According to Huang Ama's wishes, I can pick any people here..." Minzhi swallowed a piece of apple: "Well, Huang Ama told me that too, I have seen it. Now, I think we should choose a bannerman and a Hanman..." Yinhu drew a circle on the booklet with a pen, and threw it to her after finishing, "Then these two, take a look..." Minzhi glanced casually. He glanced at it: "Well, Zhenglan Qi...should be in line with Huang Ama's wishes..."

Yinhu's eyes narrowed: "The No. 12 Zuoling family of the second officer of the Manchuria Metropolitan Government of the Zhenglan Banner, what's his last name?" Minzhi looked again, and his eyeballs fell out: "The Tong family... "Yinhu laughed very stupidly: "This branch was newly established by Huang Ama in the 23rd year of Kangxi. Their leader and I went to the battlefield together. I was his general at the time..." Minzhi was shocked when he heard it. I understand that this Tong Jia family has nothing to do with Tong Banchao, they just share the same surname.

Compared with this Tong Jia family, the identity of another Han person is much simpler. The No. 23 Jinshi in the 10rd year of Kangxi was born in Yuyao, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang.When Minzhi saw Shaoxing people, the first thing he thought of was the master. You must know that Shaoxing masters in the Qing Dynasty were equivalent to Filipino servants in the high society in Hong Kong. Interest in Tong Jiashi: "Master, this Jinshi Qian is very interesting..."

Yinhu's eyes narrowed: "There are many staff and masters in Shaoxing Mansion. This Chamberlain scholarly family is very poor. He is 27 years old and still unmarried. There is only a blind old mother in the family. It is said that he carried his mother on his back and begged all the way along the street. Going to Beijing to rush for the exam, but won the No.10 Jinshi, but refused to participate in the Qionglin Banquet in order to bring food to his mother who lived in the hermitage. After learning the truth, Huang Ama rewarded him with a special decree. Fanjing City Inn, as long as he comes No rent will be charged.” Minzhi’s eyes widened: “Is there such a legendary thing? This Bernard is a pure filial man!” “Well, I just like his pure filial piety, and a Qing Erbai's family background..." Yinhu pondered.Looking at Yinhu adoringly, these two people are not simple, it is not easy to find such two people in such a booklet: "After your analysis, these two people are really hard to come by... "

The corner of Yinhu's mouth twitched: "It's so simple, you just make a random request, how many joints there are, Huang Ama has personally dispatched... In the past, even if Huang Ama wanted to visit privately, she would never come to my house Come up..." Seeing that his expression darkened again, Minzhi quickly changed the subject: "When will you submit the paper to ask for these two people?" "After the fifth princess's funeral is over..." Minzhi stood up, both In this way, I will ask someone to tidy up Linfeng Xiaozhu, and then let Mr. Qian and his mother move in together..." "It's up to you, it's just Mr. He's calligraphy and books, don't move them. Yinhu sighed. Minzhi said softly, "I understand..."

Yinhu suddenly approached her: "Do you know what Huang Ama said to me when you were away just now?" "Ah?" Minzhi looked at the face that suddenly approached: "Ah? What did you say?" Yinhu Hu stretched out his hand to fiddle with the back of her head, and she felt light on the top of her head, and the bun that hadn't been undone all day spread out, instantly forming a big wave shape, Minzhi was dumbfounded: "Hey, my hair..." Yinhu twirled a cluster around her fingertips: "Huang Ama said, I picked you up, I really picked you up..." Minzhi felt angry: I'm just the garbage on the side of the road. You pick it up and pick it up.Thinking of what happened when he first wore it, his face involuntarily froze, staring at Yinhu without speaking.Seeing her like this, Yinhu laughed more and more happily, and looked at Minzhi as a fool. Why did this person fall in love again? This smile is too dazzling: "You...why are you laughing..."

Yinhu's face came close to her ear, and the warm breath made her shiver again: "Laugh at you stupid..." With a "boom", someone pushed him away on impulse: " You are stupid, the most stupid in the world..." Yinhu grabbed her wrist and pulled her into her arms: "Everyone can hint that I want to treat you well..." "Huh?" Minzhi was stunned for a while. The hot breath made me dizzy: "What?" "Huang Ama asked me if I would dare to help you clean up the mess... You... You are always so annoying... Is fourth brother so easy to mess with? " Minzhi looked up: "I didn't mess with him... He should be sorry..." Yinhu looked at someone's unconvinced face, and flicked her finger lightly on her forehead: "You have reason, fourth brother Asking you to bring me a message is just perfunctory, as long as you know it in your heart, at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation... No, I directly recruited Huang Ama..."
