my love

Chapter 9


It took about twenty days to arrive at Luojing every day at dawn, and it took seven or eight days to arrive at Lingjiang mansion at dusk this day.

Lingjiang Mansion is located in a plain, surrounded by rivers and lakes, with fertile soil and fertile land. Grains and wheat alternate from year to year, and there is no shortage of seasons. It is one of the few rich prefectures in the Eastern Xia Dynasty.

I heard from Zhu Minzhi the day before that Lingjiang fish banquet is famous far and near, and people in Lingjiang are good at cooking and frying everything, especially Lingjiang fish cake is very delicious. There is a saying that you can't see fish when you eat fish. interested.

Seeing her high spirits, Zhu Minzhi smiled and said, "Let's stay at the Laifu Inn tonight. The Hongde Restaurant is next to it. The whole fish feast is the best in Lingjiang Mansion."

Mu Yunsheng took a sneaky look at Mu Zhiyuan, and seeing that he didn't show any objection, he said happily, "That's a good idea, I want to see what it means to eat fish without seeing fish."

Zhu Minzhi ordered his attendants to arrange accommodation, and the leader was Liu An. After getting the order, he went to the Laifu Inn first.

Mu Zhiyuan saw that these attendants were all strong and well-trained, and they were directly mobilized by the emperor, so they must be imperial guards.

Hongde Restaurant is indeed the best restaurant in Lingjiang Mansion. It has three storeys and is built along the river. The unique ingenuity and exquisiteness can be seen in the painted buildings and flying clouds.

The shop waiter in Hongde Building got Liu An's order and took them directly to the private room on the second floor.

Walking to the door of the private room, I suddenly heard music playing slowly. Mu Yunsheng stopped and stood on the corridor, looking down from the railing. There was an old man pulling an erhu in the lobby of the restaurant, and a girl sang to the music:

Cover Fu Gantang, don't cut it down, don't cut it down, it's the son of the son.

Cover Fu Gantang, don't cut it down, don't lose it, it's rested by the son.

Hid Fu Gantang, don't shoot, don't worship, as Ruzi said.

The erhu is desolate and secluded, and the girl's singing is clear and melancholy. Mu Yunsheng doesn't study hard on weekdays. He doesn't understand the meaning of the poem, but he feels sad and unbearable. He can't help but say to himself: "This song makes me want to cry. I don't know what the song means."

Zhu Minzhi next to him seemed to be recalling something, his eyes warm: "It's a poem written by the people of Lingjiang to commemorate a virtuous man."

Mu Yunsheng asked curiously: "Has this person done many good things? Someone even wrote a song to commemorate him, so where is he now?"

"He's dead." Zhu Minzhi turned around and entered the private room, Mu Yunsheng couldn't see his expression clearly.

After singing a song, the old man and the young girl retreated.Mu Yunsheng always felt a little inexplicably sad, so he also entered the private room.

Liu An and a group of guards set up another table in the private room next door, and Zhu Minzhi and their father and daughter had a separate table.

When the food and wine were served, Mu Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh that the whole fish banquet really lived up to its reputation. Steamed fish head with chopped peppers, slippery fish fillets, lotus fish with hibiscus, jasper river prawns, smoked white fish with spiced spices, braised bream, etc. There are more than a dozen kinds on a table Fish, the method is not the same.

There is also Nalingjiang fish cake cut into neat squares, with a thin layer of egg liquid on the back that is golden and shiny, while the rest is white, tender and smooth.

Mu Yunsheng picked up the chopsticks and quickly tasted a piece, and it really melted in the mouth, with an incomparable fragrance.I couldn't help being very surprised, and asked, "Eunuch Zhu, where did this come from? How did you make it? It's really delicious."

Zhu Minzhi poured a glass of wine for Mu Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "It is said that Emperor E contracted a disease when he passed by the Lingjiang River, but he loved fish and hated the thorns, so he combined the fishermen and his own cooking skills to peel the fish and remove the thorns. It is made by chopping finely with pork and lotus seed powder and steaming."

Mu Yunsheng exclaimed in admiration: "Miss Ehuang is really good at cooking." Then he chuckled and said: "Eunuch Zhu is not only familiar with delicious food, but also knows the origin so clearly, it seems that he is also an old gourmet."

Zhu Minzhi smiled lightly, and drank a glass of wine in one gulp.

Mu Zhiyuan scolded with a smile: "You girl, you're making fun of Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Minzhi said with a slight smile: "Miss Mu is innocent and romantic, and she is very flattering. Mr. Mu doesn't need to be harsh." Zhu Minzhi has always been modest and polite, but no one has ever noticed that since he came to Lingjiang, there are many smiles in his eyes with gentle words and smiles. There was an imperceptible grief and sternness.

The private room is separated by a screen, leaving one open and not closed. Looking at the up and down layout of the restaurant, Mu Yunsheng inadvertently saw a white shadow. Yuan and Zhu Minzhi said: "Father, Eunuch Zhu, if you excuse me, I will go back as soon as I go." Without waiting for Mu Zhiyuan's objection, they stepped out of the room.

As soon as Duanmu Zongli stepped into the reserved private room, he heard a crisp voice shout: "Young Master Duanmu, what a coincidence, are you going back to Luojing too?" Turning around, he saw Mu Yunsheng leaning against the painted landscape screen, Laughing language Yan Yan.

Duanmu Zongli looked indifferent, and nodded politely: "Miss Mu."

The young man next to him was taken aback, and shouted, "Mu Yunsheng! Why are you here?"

Mu Yunsheng glanced at him, and asked, "Young Master Duanmu, why are you with this kind of low-spirited apprentice? Aren't you afraid that you will lose your status?"

Liu Chengshu is the only son of General Liu, he was used to being flattered since he was a child, no one has ever dared to scold him like that, and he was ashamed and angry at the moment: "You are only a disciple, the big girl is not ashamed to strip a man's clothes. "

Mu Yunsheng sneered coldly: "If you keep babbling, believe it or not, I will strip your clothes later and make you parade in the street."

Liu Chengshu originally wanted to ridicule her a few more words, but this girl is a ghost, and she might have come up with some crooked tricks to deal with herself. With her behavior in the general's mansion, Liu Chengshu has every reason to believe that Mu Yunsheng can do it. She was so scared that she hurriedly closed her mouth.

Duanmu Zongli shook his head helplessly, and asked Yun Sheng lightly: "Is Miss Mu okay?"

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Mu Yunsheng choked for a while, and was scolded by Liu Chengshu just now, although he had the upper hand, but thinking about the scene at the General's Mansion that day, Duanmu Zongli must think that she is a casual girl Baba, who was still ignorant of himself, ran over to make fun of him, and immediately felt that he was humiliated in front of this fairy-like young master, and said dejectedly: "It's okay, I'm leaving."

When he turned to leave, he kicked the screen and cursed, "You're shameless."

Liu Chengshu gloated and grinned, "I thought she didn't know how to be shy."

Duanmu Zongli put away the corners of his mouth that turned up secretly, and said coldly: "Do you really want to go for a parade?"

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Chengshu's forehead, he hurriedly looked around and said to him: "Why is the food and drink still not served, I'll go and remind you." He found an excuse and ran downstairs as if to escape.

Mu Yunsheng returned to the banquet, sat down on the stool, rested his chin on his hands in a lifeless manner, and sighed faintly.

Mu Zhiyuan asked puzzledly: "Why did you become listless after going out for a while, where did you go just now?"

Mu Yunsheng replied resentfully: "It's just that I admitted the wrong person."

Mu Zhiyuan didn't ask any further questions, but added some food for her, and said, "I didn't eat much just now, eat quickly." Mu Yunsheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly took two mouthfuls of rice, and said coquettishly: "It's better to be daddy." .”

Zhu Minzhi played with the wine glass, smiled as if unintentionally glanced at the charming and lively Mu Yunsheng, then looked out of the window at the Chu River, the river was shrouded in cold smoke, misty and boundless, like a distant memory.

In the restaurant, Mu Yunsheng had a bad nose. He was originally embarrassed to see Duanmu Zongli, but the next day on the official road, he happened to meet him.

The carriage bumped and swayed, and Yun Sheng couldn't help feeling sleepy. He felt the carriage stop in a daze, and then heard someone talking.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage door, I saw Zhu Minzhi saluting to a stern and dignified young man, it was the Ice Cube Wenyang King!He couldn't help but cover his face and let out a low cry of mourning, and retreated into the carriage in a desperate manner.

Liu Chengshu inadvertently saw Mu Yunsheng's expression, grinned inwardly, had an idea, and said to Duanmu Zongli: "My lord, look at how lonely the journey is for us, why don't we go back to Luojing together with Eunuch Zhu, Zhu Father-in-law, how do you look?"

Zhu Minzhi bowed slightly: "If the prince doesn't dislike it, the servants are willing to take care of the prince."

Duanmu Zongli is so smart, how could he not know Liu Chengshu's little plan, thinking of Mu Yunsheng's embarrassment in the restaurant, he couldn't help being amused, and he didn't refuse right away, saying: "Eunuch Zhu is polite, I thank you Eunuch."
