Chapter 91 Banquet
Zhang Yanling closed Mancang'er's case.
The method used is to hit fifty boards each.
In addition to the compensation that should be paid, Yang Peng's nephew Yang Zhi was detained. Mancang'er received Zhou Yu's compensation and would come from the confinement.
The drama about Mancang'er in the capital is still ongoing, and the discussion on this case is still ongoing, but the conflict between the Ministry of Justice and Dongchang of the court did not intensify due to the openness of the matter, but instead converges, indicating that the performance of the drama plays a good role in public opinion supervision.
This is Zhang Yanling's purpose.
After Zhang Yanling reported the memorial, Cui Yuan, who signed the memorial with him, smiled and invited: "Brother Jianchang, I want to invite you to a banquet, and I hope you can enjoy your face."
Zhang Yanling originally planned to arrange "The Legend of the White Snake" and watch the performances of the two fairies sisters. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Cui Yuan curiously.
He remembered that when he first met Cui Yuan, he met Zhu Xiaoru, and Cui Yuan tried his best to stop him, as if he was afraid that his wife would be snatched away.
Now he actually invites him to have a meal with Zhu Xiaoru?
"Brother Cui, what you said about having a banquet is to have a meal with you or with... you couple?" Zhang Yanling also asked specifically.
Cui Yuan had no intention of being careless at all and smiled and said, "Of course we are together."
Zhang Yanling took a breath.
You, the inferior prince consort, changed your nature?
Or do I recommend you now, and you treat me as a friend, and you don’t even mind letting your wife sit with me?
"The house also specifically explained that he would invite Jianchang to come over and say that there was something important to talk to Jianchang." Seeing that Zhang Yanling was not very interested, Cui Yuan continued to talk about the title.
Zhang Yanling curled his lips and said, "Isn't it meeting Princess Deqing again?"
"No, this time has nothing to do with Princess Deqing. Jianchang Bo, please give me a slander and let me... live up to the princess' expectations." Cui Yuan looked depressed.
It seemed that Zhang Yanling would not go to the appointment, so he was embarrassed in front of his wife.
Zhang Yanling reluctantly said: "Since that's the case, then Brother Cui will lead the way!"
...
...
Zhang Yanling didn't want to have a meal with Zhu Xiaoru.
But at least, it is hard to refuse the kindness.
It’s not impossible to have a meal with Cui Yuan and his wife, just don’t mention any marriage to him.
He thought Cui Yuan invited him to his house, but after the carriage stopped, he was in front of a deserted tavern.
Even if you treat...
Can you die if you find a better restaurant?
Zhang Yanling has been in this world for more than two months. He has summarized his experience. Any food in a quiet wine shop must not be delicious. It is already lunch time. This wine shop is still deserted, and there is not even a table of guests on the first floor. It would be strange if such a wine shop can make delicious food.
Diners are more picky about food than anyone else.
"It's inside." Cui Yuan smiled.
Zhang Yanling said: "The princess really knows how to choose a place."
This was obviously sarcastic, but unfortunately Cui Yuan couldn't hear it, and he smiled and said, "This is the property of the princess's mansion..."
I see!
Invite me to dinner, and then invite me to the restaurant that you owns?
What about sincerity?
Cui Yuan and Zhu Xiaoru are obviously not good materials for doing business, otherwise why would they not even have customers when opening a restaurant?
Zhang Yanling and Cui Yuan went up the second floor together and realized that he was wrong.
There are really customers in the restaurant.
The second floor of the wine shop is filled with private rooms, which is very elegant. It is rare in this era and has a style.
But when the two entered a private room, they heard a group of people making noises next door, and the style disappeared instantly.
“This poem is well written!”
"No, no, it's inappropriate."
Listening to the sound, there were many people in the private room next door, at least between six or seven or ten people, and the sound was extremely noisy.
They seemed to be discussing poetry writing, and the discussion was still very lively.
"Princess invites you to dinner, where is the person?" Zhang Yanling looked at Cui Yuan who was standing stupidly standing there not knowing how to receive him.
Cui Yuan saw sweat on his forehead and said with a bitter face: "I don't know."
The couple invited a meal, but they saw the husband alone. I don’t know where the wife is? What are you going to have a fight?
Sit down and wait.
Soon, Zhang Yanling was almost annoyed by the sound of the group of scholars next door discussing poetry.
I even plan to eat in another place, but at worst I can make my own business.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaoru came upstairs with a smile and appeared in the private room.
"Jianchang Bo, long-lost."
As soon as Zhu Xiaoru came in, she greeted Zhang Yanling with a smile.
Zhang Yanling looked at Zhu Xiaoru. The young lady and princess were elegant and luxurious, but her appearance was a little mediocre. Last time, she looked at her in a hurry and didn't look at her carefully this time. This time he could take a closer look.
Choi Won didn't mind at all, and walked over with his wife with a smile, asking, "Where is the eldest princess going?"
"In the kitchen, I'm instructing what dishes to make to entertain guests, so I'm only late." Zhu Xiaoru explained with a smile.
As the eldest princess and the emperor's sister, Zhu Xiaoru actually went to the kitchen of the restaurant to guide what food to cook?
Zhang Yanling only thought that Zhu Xiaoru was talking nonsense in front of him to show his sincerity in the banquet.
...
...
The three of them were sitting together.
The sound next door was still very noisy. Cui Yuan was a little concerned and stood up and said, "Why do I go and tell them to change the room."
Zhu Xiaoru said: "There is no need to be troubled by the prince consort. There are only some ordinary scholars next door. It is rare that there are guests in the restaurant, so let them go."
It was right, but Zhang Yanling always felt that Zhu Xiaoru looked like a female fox, as if she was plotting against him.
There are three private rooms upstairs, one next door is in the middle, and it seems that I want to make trouble with him on the second floor.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Is it possible that the princess is also interested in poetry?"
Zhu Xiaoru smiled and shook her head and said, "I am a woman with a shallow knowledge and cannot compare with the talent of a great man like Jianchang Bo. I don't hear that the scholars next door are also very knowledgeable. They are writing poems to overcome Jianchang Bo's poem "Bamboo Born in Stone" as soon as possible..."
Zhang Yanling was just suspicious, but now he is sure.
Zhu Xiaoru treats her, but there is nothing good.
Zhang Yanling had no thoughts on his face and smiled and said, "The talent and knowledge of this are very shallow. There is no first in literature or martial arts. Why do you need to compare with the reputation of literature and reputation? They want to give it to them!"
At this moment, a powerful voice came from the next door: "Okay, this poem is well written, and it will definitely compare the talent of the most worm in the Ming Dynasty and win back the face for the scholars!"
"This poem is indeed better than that poem in terms of rhetoric, but it may still be deficient in its intention."
There was someone next to him singing the opposite tune.
When Zhang Yanling heard the word "silkworm", he couldn't help frowning.
Until now, these scholars still keep calm.
Zhu Xiaoru smiled and said, "Jianchang Bob was ranked third in the Ming Dynasty and has become the first one now. It's really different from the past."
"Princess, I'm afraid it's not good to say so?" Cui Yuan always felt that his wife was too targeting Zhang Yanling.
I agreed to invite my friend back for dinner. How could you speak out?
Zhang Yanling sighed: "I should feel honored from the third to the first? Isn't the princess treating guests to dinner? She doesn't have to serve wine and food? She is hungry in her stomach, so she is afraid that she will do something bad next and will make the owner of the restaurant embarrassed."
His meaning seemed to be reminding Zhu Xiaoru.
Don’t think that I’m doing something wrong and I’m making a fuss about my reputation. I’m going to be ruthless. Those who scold me next door don’t end up being good. Why do you want me to smash your restaurant and make it famous?
Zhu Xiaoru smiled and said, "Jianchangbo is well-known and has amazing quality. I will ask someone to serve the food!"
Zhang Yanling originally thought Zhu Xiaoru would treat him with wine and food.
When the dishes came up, I realized that it was just four dishes and one soup, and it was vegetarian and had no meat and fish, which made people feel disgusted at first glance.
Zhang Yanling wouldn't even eat breakfast so lightly.
"Princess, this..."
Cui Yuan was a little disgusted when he saw the four dishes and one soup served by the friend.
Zhu Xiaoru looked at her husband and said, "Jianchang Bo usually uses abalone ginseng and wings, so he must have been tired of eating it. Today's banquet is not enough to treat it, and it is not as delicious as light sugar."
Zhang Yanling said: "The princess has eaten vegetarian food recently?"
"No, but the mansion has always been frugal!" Zhu Xiaoru looked at Zhang Yanling with a smile and said, "I will use tea instead of wine, and I will give you a cup of Jianchang Bo."
Zhang Yanling was about to pour wine by himself, but Cui Yuan took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling first drank Zhu Xiaoru, and after drinking the wine, he realized that it was extremely spicy.
Wine is good wine.
Can the dishes be delicious, but are just covered by vulgar flavors?
"No Jianchang can't drink enough? Take a few bites of food and press it!" Zhu Xiaoru said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite of the dish, and immediately felt something was wrong.
I took a few dishes next to me and ate them in my mouth...
No salt was added in the dish?!
Chapter completed!
