I remember when he was young, every time he showed a particularly yearning expression, he would get a delicious meal!

The fame of the famous eating and broadcasting brother in the capital has been lost, and he will never regain his former glory!

Brother Wen returned home wilted and groaning. Wang Hua saw him in such a state and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Brother Wen told Wang Hua about Yuan Shouzhi with a depressed look on his face.

I can’t understand, I can’t understand, how someone could have the heart to introduce delicious food but make it impossible for people to eat it!

Wang Hua was very happy when he heard this. It was like someone was willing to reject this kid. He said: "Before, when you were little, everyone loved to invite you to eat and drink for free. Now that you have grown up, everyone knows that you are a great foodie."

, naturally I won’t invite you to go.”

Brother Wen retorted: "I'm not particularly good at eating," he thought for a while and then added, "Old man Wang Ge is very good at eating!"

Just like Liu Mianmian, as long as the nickname is fun enough, everyone will spread the word in private. For example, this "Big Stomach King" also spreads like wildfire in the official circles of the capital.

Do you want to find the source? Sorry, everyone listens to what others say. Even if you really find out the person, the other party will beep in a low voice: Huh? Didn’t Mr. Qiu Ge shout it to his face?

By the time Wang Hua found out that his son had come to talk to Qiu Jun about the term "big stomach king", he was already a little numb.

What can I do? I can only praise the old prime minister Wang Ge for his ability to support a boat!

Looking at his son who still felt that he had eaten very little and was very sensible, Wang Hua could only sigh and introduce Yuan Shouzhi to him.

This man is a straightforward and upright man who never likes to associate with his colleagues. When the imperial court asked him to take charge of the civil service, he never paid attention to others giving him gifts. When it came to making personnel arrangements, he was so selfless that his colleagues were afraid of him.

.

Everyone else is enjoying the elation after being named on the gold list, but he himself does not accept gifts, does not engage in business, does not make friends, and does not buy land. He is simply an outlier in officialdom!

Brother Wen was quite surprised when he heard this: "Is this an alien?"

Suddenly I realized that I was chatting with my son about something that I shouldn't be talking about.

Although it is a bit wrong to say this, people who do this are indeed alien.

Even though Wang Shu didn't like to interact with others, he still raised a young son, Wang Chengyu, to help him deal with people.

During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, Wang Shu was forced to retire and go home to live in leisure. He couldn't help but write a book and complain, secretly saying that a loyal minister like himself should not be treated like this.

At that time, I don’t know how many people read his article and complained about him.

Otherwise, the Holy Emperor would not have politely invited him back to take charge of the staff as soon as he succeeded to the throne.

People like Yuan Shouzhi offended a large number of colleagues as soon as he took office. He neither writes articles to boast nor interacts with others on weekdays. He is really an outlier among outliers.

Wang Hua felt that his son's temperament had nothing in common with that of Yuan Shouzhi, and he should not take that path in the future.

But this kind of twists and turns in officialdom should not be discussed with children.

Wang Hua said: "I just want to tell you that he doesn't just prevent you from coming to the door, but he doesn't let everyone come to the door."

If you think about it carefully, it is probably the once-popular saying "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm just saying that everyone here is rubbish".

Very good, strange memories have been added again.

Brother Wen is still particularly concerned about the flour rice that Motomori Nao's family can't eat.

He sighed and paced back, and bumped into his brother again.

Seeing Brother Wen's very sad look, Wang Shouren asked curiously: "It's the New Year, why are you sighing?"

Brother Wen told Wang Shouren that he could not go to Yuan Shouzhi's house to have a meal.

Wang Shouren was speechless for a while.

"You're five years old, why do you still want to go to other people's houses for food?"

Wang Shouren felt that he did not have such a greedy brother.

Brother Wen suddenly became even more depressed when he heard that his brother said the same thing.

It turns out that five years old is already a big deal! Why can’t he always be the three-year-old king that everyone loves!

Seeing that he was unhappy, Wang Shouren touched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "When you said that, I remembered that Yuan Tongzheng's son seems to be studying in the Imperial College."

There were many students in the Imperial College, and he didn't know them all. It was because they were all the sons of Beijing officials that he had an impression of them.

When Brother Wen heard this, he immediately became excited: "Are you familiar with him? Can you go to his house as a guest?"

Wang Shouren said: "We are not the same kind of people at all, how can we get together?"

Everyone who hangs out with Wang Shouren is keen on all kinds of social activities, but Yuan Shouzhi's son is exactly the same as his father - if no one introduced Wang Shouren, he wouldn't know that his father is from the General Affairs Department.

Brother Wen knew that it was not that easy to go around and get food. He said lazily: "I really hope I can make a lot of friends!"

Wang Shouren said: "Are you trying to make friends? You are just trying to get others to give you delicious food."

Brother Wen walked away humming and went back to study the alumite he bought from the drug store.

He specifically asked for them to be in pieces instead of being ground into pieces. It looked very nice when displayed, but he didn't know which kind of alum made of lamps would not melt.

The next day, he went to the British government to practice martial arts and mentioned the matter to Zhang Lun. Zhang Lun said: "What's so strange about this? We have an old servant in our family who can make ice lanterns. We asked him to come and make two ice lanterns for us."

Zhan, why don’t we just stand by and see what he does?”

Brother Wen was very happy to hear this and said happily: "Is it really possible?"

Zhang Lun said: "Anyway, I have to make a few every year to see how fresh they are. What's wrong?"

To show that what he said was not false, Zhang Lun directly called the old servant to make an ice lamp and show it to them.

Most civil servants don't like nobles very much.

Li Dongyang also slowly shared with Brother Wen: "Speaking of which, not only the censor can inspect places, but also people from the General Affairs Department can go there. Last year, Yuan Tongzheng went to inspect the Juyongguan area."

If he had such a younger brother, he would just want to bully him like Wang Shouren!

Especially since this lamp was given by Zhang Lun, a noble person, Qiu Jun was even more dissatisfied.

Both of these adults are too much!

Zhang Lun had long been tired of seeing the dazzling lanterns in his mansion every year.

Brother Wen watched eagerly from the side as the old servant removed the lamp mold. His eyes widened immediately, and he saw that the crystal clear ice lamp was decorated with extremely exquisitely carved birds and animals. Upon closer inspection, they actually looked like the robes of a first-class civil and military official. Crane and unicorn on the sky.

Yang Yiqing found it interesting after learning about it, so he mentioned it in the letter.

He had obviously worked so hard to practice martial arts, but he still fell flat after being pushed by his brother like that!

No matter how you look at it, it's an eyesore.

While waiting, he couldn't help but talk to Li Dongyang about the powder rice that he hadn't eaten.

Li Dongyang followed the instructions in the letter and asked someone to make a cage to try.

The customs of working people are so simple and honest.

Considering the patience of Zhang Lun and others, the old servant brought all these things directly when he came over. He only needed to pour alum-melted water into it and wait for it to condense into ice.

Just turn the ice lantern slightly, and the crane and unicorn seem to come to life, soaring above the white ice and snow sea.

Li Dongyang was very happy after listening to it.

It took a long time for the water to condense into an ice lantern, so Zhang Lun first took Brother Wen to the martial arts training ground to practice martial arts.

Then Li Dongyang invited Brother Wen to sit down and talk, and what he said was the last thing Brother Wen couldn't refuse: "It's just a coincidence that you came, I happened to have someone steam some fresh food that I heard from your uncle, and wait. I want you to try it and see how it tastes."

It feels very fairy-like and ethereal just looking at it.

Brother Wen was very happy to get the new lamp. He excitedly carried it to Qiu Jun and the others to show it off. Unexpectedly, he thought someone had given him some big treasure.

He practiced so hard that he was covered in sweat. He put his legs and feet together and stopped to rest for a while. He couldn't help but whisper to Zhang Lun about his older brother bullying the younger ones.

As for the offerings, there's no need for them, since they don't have any blind mice here anyway.

As a teacher, he obviously has no sympathy, and he even thinks that this kid should be shut out, lest he always feel that there is nothing in the world that he can't do at the age of five.

Why did Brother Wen think so much? When he saw that he was not praised by Lao Qiu for boasting about his "hand-made ice lanterns", he immediately ran to Li Dongyang's house not far away to show off to his teacher and his senior brother.

The uncle Li Dongyang was talking about was naturally Yang Yiqing who was far away in Shaanxi.

Seeing Brother Wen squatting over to watch with great interest, Zhang Lun couldn't help but become a little interested, and he watched the old servant making the ice lamp together.

Isn't it just an ice lantern? The mountains and plains outside are covered with ice, what's so strange about it!

It's Chinese New Year, why isn't Yuan Tongzheng willing to let him have a taste?

It's not the Lantern Festival yet, and the weather is still a bit cold. The ice lanterns won't melt too quickly after they are made. If it takes a little longer, they won't be available for a few days.

Seeing that Brother Wen was in high spirits, the old servant even gave him the process of pouring the alum water.
