The person speaking was Su Che. In ancient times, everyone's concept of time was far less clear than in modern times. However, it is different today. After all, he was going to the Lu Mansion to discuss business matters, so Su Che had started calculating since Tangxi left.
time.
After all, although the two brothers are talented, their family's current economic conditions are not very good, otherwise these two talented people, including their father Su Xun, would not have been living in the temple.
Originally, he was the one who agreed to explain this matter to Lu Yao. What's more, when his housekeeper Tangxi came just now, Su Shi asked Tangxi to help take care of Su Xun's meals, and he also agreed.
, if you are still late for the party like this, it is really unjustifiable.
Su Shi responded and had already packed up, but it seemed that he had no intention of leaving immediately.
"Wait a minute, the person who brought food from Fan Lou hasn't arrived yet. After all, dad's food should be arranged." Su Shi said, turned around and ran to Su Xun's room.
Su Xun was sitting on a chair in the room at this time, wondering what he was thinking.
Hearing someone coming in, Su Xun came out of a fugue state, turned his head and saw that it was Su Shi coming in.
Su Xun just glanced at Su Shi, and then returned to his lazy look again.
Speaking of the three people of the Su family, except for some very formal occasions, they have never been very particular about etiquette. In fact, it is difficult to tell whether ancient etiquette is good or bad even now.
.However, the ancients have always followed the etiquette system. For those who are unique and unconventional, most of these people will not end well.
A very typical representative of this is Mi Heng during the Three Kingdoms period.
Although Su Xun was informal, he glanced at Su Shi and asked casually: "You are dressed like this, but you want to go out?"
Su Shi nodded slightly, and Su Xun continued: "Where are you going today? Looking at your outfit, it looks much better than when you went to the brothel before."
Su Shi's face was full of embarrassment when he heard what his father said. Originally, every time he and Su Che went out to play, they would deliberately choose a time when his father was asleep or out. Unexpectedly, Su Xun had seen through this little trick of his.
.
However, in Su Xun's view, the clothes Su Shi wore today were brand new. He recognized it at a glance. Su Shi should have saved this clothes to wear on the day of the imperial examination, but he actually wore it today.
It means that the place he is going to is definitely not ordinary.
Su Shi knew that he could not keep it secret, so he said, "I will go out with my brother to the Lu Mansion later to discuss some matters."
Su Xun thought for a while and said, "But it's the residence of Lu Xu, the Minister of Household Affairs?"
"Yes."
"When did you two have any dealings with him?"
Su Shi quickly explained: "No, no, no, with our status, how can we make friends with Mr. Lu? He is the second son of his family, Lu Yao."
Su Xun nodded. In fact, in his heart, he still didn't want his two sons to interact with officials in the court prematurely. Speaking of Lu Yao, Su Xun had also heard about it, but because the three of them, father and son,
I came to Bianliang City later, and this time I came here just to go to Beijing to take the exam.
Therefore, the three of them actually didn't know much about Lu Yao's previous misdeeds.
Lu Yao was mentioned many times through his two sons. Of course, most of them mentioned Lu Yao's literary talent.
Su Xun had actually read the two poems written by Lu Yao, but compared to the admiration Su Shi and Su Zhe had for Lu Yao, Su Xun had a question in his mind. Why did a young man in his youth?
How could he write such mature verses?
"Even if you are going to see Lu Yao, you won't wear this dress. If others don't know, they will think that you, a talented Su, are going on a blind date?" Su Xun said.
Su Shi smiled, his father would always say some very funny things inadvertently.
In fact, the two of them did not tell Su Xun that they and their brother Su Zhe agreed to Lu Yao's commentary job. Su Zhe is still young and has no ideas. Su Shi has the final say in everything.
Originally, the purpose of the father and son coming this time was to take the imperial examination. Su Shi thought that if his father knew that he had agreed to Lu Yao to be the commentator, he might be furious, so he finally planned
I did this without telling my father.
However, I later considered that the fire cannot be contained in the paper. In fact, there are already rumors in the streets that Su Shi and Su Che will become the commentators, and the Kaifeng Mansion trio will be the referees.
Rather than letting Su Xun know about it, it would be better to admit it now. This is why Su Shi came to see Su Xun today.
So, Su Shi told Su Xun about Lu Yao's sincere invitation, and even told Su Xun about Dongpo Meat, saying that Lu Yao was indeed sincere and he couldn't shirk it.
After Su Xun listened to what Su Shi said, he did not appear as furious as Su Shi had expected. Instead, he said, "What official position does Lu Yao hold in the court now?"
Su Shi thought for a while, and it seemed that he had never heard what Lu Yao had to say about this matter, but he remembered that when he and Tang Xi had a chat before, he mentioned that Lu Yao was a fifth-grade sinecure, and he did not have to go to court on weekdays.
That kind of.
"How can an idle official come up with such a good activity?" Su Xun said, "Furthermore, it is not easy to invite you to be the commentator. It seems that although this person has a relatively low official position, he is very important in front of the emperor.
, he should be very favored."
Su Shi has naturally considered what his father said. Although Lu Yao is usually careless, it is not difficult to see from the things he has done recently that this guy is actually a thoughtful person. When he comes to see him
When I met Su Che, I was already completely sure that I would agree to him.
Su Shi said: "No matter what kind of person Lu Yao is, if this new Cuju competition can really improve the physical fitness of the whole people, I actually want to help him. After all, Lu Yao's previous movable type printing technology,
It can be said that it has helped countless readers realize their desire to study."
"This is true." Su Xun naturally knew about movable type printing. "In this case, then you can help him, but there is a prerequisite."
"I know that I will not delay my homework because of this activity. Moreover, when the competition officially begins, it is already the end of the imperial examination. By then, the imperial examination has been settled." Su Shi said.
"That's good."
Just as Su Xun finished speaking, a young man entered the room from the other side, carrying something in his hand.
Su Shi recognized at a glance that this person was Fan Lou's clerk, so he asked him to put down all the food, and then explained it to his father.
"You kid, you've been to Fanlou a lot before. It's a famous restaurant in Bianliang City. You didn't even mention bringing me some food back." Seeing Su Shi's reaction, Su Xun said immediately, and then he left.
He went up and took a look at the food the waiter had brought to him.
Although they are all vegetarian dishes, how can Fan Lou's cooking skills compare with the simple meals he usually eats?
"This is what Lu Yao specially ordered for you." Su Shi said immediately.
"It's okay. Knowing that we live in a temple now, we really don't have meat or vegetables."
Although Su Xun sounded like he was praising Lu Yao, why did Su Shi think that Su Xun felt sorry for the lack of meat and vegetables?
Indeed, facing a table of delicious food, Su Xun was already a little impatient, but in front of his son, he couldn't show it too obviously, so Su Xun coughed twice and said: "Okay, today.
I already know about the incident, so you can go there with Su Zhe, but don’t stay there too late, otherwise you two will be sleeping on the street if you miss the closing time of the temple."
Seeing that Su Xun had nothing to do, Su Shi immediately resigned and returned to the room. He grabbed Su Su Che and immediately left the temple and began to rush towards the Lu Mansion.
When passing by Su Xun's room, Su Zhe clearly heard the sound of wolfing down food...
At this point, the reason why Su Shi wanted to send the food from Fanlou in Tangxi Lane to Su Xun became really clear. It turned out that Su Shi took over the job of commentator behind his father's back. Even though it was him, he was still a little afraid of himself.
It belongs to my father. However, I don’t have much money here. How can I use hard and soft tactics to get my father to agree?
Tangxi came just at this time, so Su Shi figured out that his father had not eaten Fan Lou's food, and now, there happened to be another villain who was willing to pay the money to use Fan Lou's food plus his own three inches.
With his good tongue, he should be very confident in getting his father to agree to do this.
We have mentioned before that basically everyone has different views on Lu Yao, except that Su Shi and Su Che are not included. Finally, let's take a look at these two people.
In fact, Su Che is a little younger than Su Shi. Although he is also very talented, his halo is basically around his brother. But Su Che does this very well. In his heart, he has a deep love for his brother and his brother.
Su Zhe didn't think there was anything wrong with this gap between himself and the fact that he was also called a talented man but was like a little follower next to his brother. This kind of quality was really valuable.
If it were placed in modern times, who wouldn't want to be the one who attracts the most attention? Who wouldn't want to stand on the stage instead of standing behind? What's more, I think that the person in front of the stage has nothing to do with my own strength.
The difference is, and it's one's brother or good friend, why should he be unknown while he can be famous?
At this time, a common plot in modern TV series or movies will often appear. The person behind the scenes is unwilling to stay under others for a long time, and either turns black and stands out and embarks on another path, or directly kills someone.
The one with the halo.
This kind of psychological distortion has actually appeared more and more frequently with the changes of the times. Nowadays, the pressure of social competition is great. This kind of jealousy is very scary. Maybe one day something terrible will happen because of it.
matter.
However, none of this has ever happened to Su Che. He is actually very casual and lazy. In this regard, he has even surpassed his brother Su Shi. What he is thinking in his heart is different from the jealousy of modern people.
Strong people are completely different.
What Su Che was thinking was, would he
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I should give all the flowers and applause to Su Shi. In this case, no one will notice me. If I really do an outstanding job in a certain aspect, I will be called a blockbuster. If I have been under Su Shi's halo,
, which is not bad, because those troublesome things will not come to you, and you will be at ease.
I don’t know if I should advocate this kind of leisurely attitude.
It is precisely because of Su Che's mentality that he actually does not have a deep understanding of Lu Yao. Compared with his brother Su Shi, Su Che's focus on Lu Yao is more on his poetry itself.
And his strong cooking skills. As for other things, Lu Yao naturally has his brother to deal with. As long as Su Shi tells him what to do, he can do it himself. He doesn't care about the other things. There is Dongpo meat to eat and wine to drink.
Drink, and then get some fame, why not do it?
Compared with Su Che's lazy mentality, although Su Shi also has a casual and unrestrained character, it may be due to the influence of his father Su Xun. In fact, Su Shi still longs to become an official in his heart.
There are actually many reasons why Su Shi agreed to Lu Yao's job as a commentator.
First of all, the friendship between Su Shi and Lu Yao is really good. The two met in a brothel. Although it was not an elegant place, Su Shi has always been eclectic. Several poems written by Lu Yao made Su Shi admire Lu Yao's
Ability, compared to the homeless people in the market, although Su Shi is not a person of status, he still hopes to be friends with talented people. Therefore, he gradually interacts with Lu Yao more and more, and the more he interacts with Lu Yao
As he spoke, Su Shi felt more and more that this person was no ordinary person. In the future, whether in business or politics, Lu Yao would definitely be a capable person. Therefore, when this person finds him, it means that this new Cuju competition will definitely
It will be a very successful competition. There is nothing wrong with helping your friends.
Secondly, this reason actually does not account for a large proportion, but it is true that Su Shi was really moved and decided to do a good job in commentary work because of this reason. Before Lu Yao hosted Su Shi for the second time, although Su Shi and Su Che had already promised Lu Yao
Yao has to do the commentary work, and Lu Yao's manuscript has been sent to these two people. However, Su Shi is still unhurried about this, because at this time, in his opinion, the importance of the new Cuju competition is
Sex is far less than the upcoming imperial examination, and Su Shi has always been very confident in the abilities of himself and his younger brother. He knew that as long as the two of them took a closer look at the manuscript Lu Yao gave him, they would definitely become a
Excellent commentator.
However, at that time, Su Shi was still focusing on the upcoming imperial examination, so he and Su Che basically only spent an hour at most every day to look at the commentary. It can be said that they didn't know much about it.
state.
However, all this changed after Lu Yao hosted a banquet for the two of them. Su Shi was now in a high-spirited period, so although he was more mature and steady than his younger brother Su Zhe, he still had a lot of passion in his heart.
That day, the plate of Dongpo pork cooked by Lu Yao at Jiuzhongxian undoubtedly ignited the passion in Su Shi's heart.
Unlike his foodie brother Su Che, Su Che was deeply impressed by the taste of Dongpo Pork. However, what Su Shi valued more than the good-looking appearance and delicious taste of the food was that Lu Yao named this dish
The expectation and affection contained in Dongpo Pork.
Su Shi has long known that Lu Yao's cooking skills are very good, but he never thought that Lu Yao would name this dish after himself, which shows that Lu Yao still values his recognition. It's not that he doesn't know, Lu Yao is naturally
I want to use this to make Su Shi more enthusiastic about the work of interpretation. It can be said that this is the finishing touch, which directly raises Su Shi to such a high level that there is no way to come down.
Lu Yao, who had traveled through time, knew that the ancients usually valued loyalty and friendship more important than anything else, so he used such a method. Sure enough, after Su Shi and Su Che returned home, they spent every day reading and
The time for learning interpretation knowledge was immediately switched, and the two of them really began to study this interpretation work seriously.
Finally, there is another reason why Su Shi agreed to be the commentator. As mentioned before, in fact, Su Shi still had some thoughts about becoming an official in his heart. Moreover, Lu Yao, this Su Shi
A recognized talent, he is now ahead of Su Shi. His success has served as a good predictor for Su Shi. Su Shi thought, if he really took over the job as a commentator and completed it successfully,
In addition, if I get good grades in the imperial examination, my talent might really be noticed by Emperor Zhao Zhen, and then I can successfully become an official.
Of course, with this little thought, how could Lu Yao not know that when he approached Su Shi to discuss this matter, he had already done some analysis on Su Shi. However, Su Shi's impression of Lu Yao was very simple.
.A talented man is proficient in businessmanship, and is very kind to the people. He is a good and capable person. Su Shi has always believed that a person who can write that kind of poetry is definitely a person worthy of close friendship. In fact, this is the most important thing
reason.
Lu Mansion.
"Sir, it's time to wake up."
Tang Xi's voice came, and Lu Yao turned over and opened his eyes with difficulty.
I don’t know if it’s because they gathered in the morning and then entered the palace. Lu Yao had to command a team of nearly a hundred people throughout the whole process. Now that he finally relaxed and relaxed, he felt extremely tired. If it weren’t for Tangxi’s
His voice was loud and he screamed several times in succession. It was estimated that Lu Yao would not be able to wake up at all.
Of course, Lu Yao has a cell phone alarm clock that he can use, but he still doesn't want his family or even Tang Xi to know that he has this thing. After all, with Lu Xu's character, who knows if he sees this thing like a cell phone?
How would you feel? So usually, Lu Yao only uses his mobile phone alarm in extraordinary circumstances, and basically when he needs early warning. Now only Pan Wen knows that he has a mobile phone.
A person, but naturally he doesn't know what this thing is.
Lu Yao sat up from the bed sleepily, looking as if he hadn't woken up. He looked at Tangxi and said, "Is everything ready in the kitchen?"
Tangxi nodded, indicating that the pork belly had been packed away, and waited for Lu Yao to pass.
Lu Yao asked Tang Xi to wait in the main hall, and wait for someone to come to greet him. He cleaned up here, and then went to the kitchen to work.
Since the Kaifeng Mansion trio and the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe are here, it is naturally impossible to cook only one dish of Dongpo Pork. Lu Yao discovered a problem after traveling through time. That is, the more formal the occasion, no matter how powerful it is.
Every character will inevitably have nervous emotions, which will seriously affect the person's thinking, IQ and even memory.
I called these people here today mainly to test their refereeing and commentary skills. Lu Yao didn't want to act serious like he was taking an exam. That would really be no fun at all. Moreover, Lu Yao himself was originally
I really hate this situation.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao had an idea in mind. Anyway, this time is just a preliminary test. It doesn't need to be so formal. It's better to cook a few good dishes by yourself and let everyone chat while eating. However, the wine must not be drunk.
Yes, whoever gets drunk might get into trouble by then. After all, Bao Zheng is a stupid person, and he is always very disciplined.
Not only Su Shi and Su Che, since they were going to eat and inspect at the same time, they naturally had to prepare a table of good dishes. However, Lu Yao gave up tomatoes, potatoes, and dishes with peppers as ingredients at this time.
After all, although I still have some stocks that I took out of the car before, I can't squander it uncontrollably. Before I actually plant these things, I still have to control the amount.
So, Lu Yao started to work with the ingredients in the kitchen. On the other hand, Uncle Fu also came to help and started making sour plum soup. Uncle Fu strictly followed the standard configuration of the sour plum soup mentioned by Lu Yao, so the taste was not as good as that of Lu Yao.
The ones produced by Yao are worse.
Here, in the main hall, Lu Xu was sitting upright. He had already learned from Tang Xi that Lu Yao was going to treat Bao Zheng, the others, and Su Shi to dinner tonight. He thought that Lu Yao must be busy in the kitchen at this time, so he simply
Xu sent Uncle Fu to the kitchen to help. After all, Uncle Fu knew some cooking skills. When Tangxi went to the kitchen, he could only cause trouble.
Since Lu Yao became famous, Bao Zheng has often had the opportunity to come to Lu Mansion, which makes Lu Xu a little happy. After all, Bao Zheng has been very kind to him, so Lu Xu is naturally grateful to Bao Zheng.
Feelings.
The previous gatherings held by Lu Yao were not bad. Although there were some hiccups during the tripartite talks, they ended happily in the end.
However, the meaning of today's gathering is different. After all, the organizer of this gathering is Lu Yao, not Emperor Zhao Zhen. But on second thought, it would be better this way, everyone should not be so nervous.
But before that, Lu Xu and Tang Xi had some exchanges and asked about Lu Yao's arrangements for tonight. Lu Xu was a little confused. Why did Lu Yao choose to test everyone during dinner?
According to the practice of the ancients, we usually only talk about business after eating and drinking tea, or we just come and talk about business directly, and then eat after everything is settled. If we talk about things while eating, we will
You don’t know how to eat and you can’t eat well, so the party didn’t achieve the effect?
If this had happened before, Lu Xu would definitely ask Lu Yao to find out. If Lu Yao couldn't explain the reason, Lu Xu would definitely cancel the gathering.
But it was different now. Since Lu Xu had chosen to trust Lu Yao, he would support every decision he made, so he didn't say much about Lu Yao's arrangement.
Thinking that Lu Yao had been busy in the kitchen, as the head of the family, he came to the main hall and became the receptionist.
As for Tangxi, Lu Xu sent him to the door to greet the visitor.
Although Bao Zheng and his trio set out earlier than Su Shi and Su Che, in terms of distance, the distance from Su Shi's side to Lu Mansion was still closer.
So, a quarter of an hour before the agreed time, Su Shi and Su Che arrived at Lu Mansion.
The door opened and after entering, the first thing Su Shi saw was Tangxi. The two of them didn't think there was anything strange. After all, this was their first time coming to the Lu Mansion.
After some pleasantries, Tangxi took the two of them to the main hall and introduced Lu Xu to them.
Su Shi, who admired Lu Yao's literary talents, was naturally very polite to Lu Xu, but Lu Xu was always polite to Lu Yao.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I came to know Su Dongpo's name, but I didn't get to meet him. Today, thanks to my son, I finally met this great talent.
Su Shi and Su Che sat down, but Lu Yao was nowhere to be seen, so Su Che asked where Lu Yao had gone.
"Quinzi is in the kitchen, preparing dinner. Please wait a moment."
As for Su Shi and Bao Zheng, Tangxi actually did not tell them that the other party was coming here to get together tonight. In other words, Su Shi had no idea that Bao Zheng and the others were coming.
"It's really hard work for Mr. Lu to be so polite when we are the only two here."
Su Shi didn't understand what was going on and said something.
Lu Xu looked at Tang Xi, who shrugged. Lu Xu had already figured out the reason, so he said, "No, no, Mr. Su may not know that tonight, three more people will come to the Lu Mansion to gather."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Bao Zheng, Lord Bao, Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce."
"puff!"
As soon as these three names were read out, Su Zhe choked as soon as he took a sip of tea.
Su Shi was naturally very surprised and said, "Mr. Lu, why, are there other people coming here tonight?"
Lu Xu nodded and said, "Yes, these three people from Kaifeng Mansion were also invited by Lu Yao this time."
Su Che said: "Do you mean to choose two people among the five of us to be the commentators?"
Su Shi thought of this and suddenly felt tremendous pressure. Who is Bao Zheng? Now everyone in the streets knows that Bao Zheng will become the father-in-law in less than a year. How can he compare with him?
.
Seeing the panic on their faces, Lu Xu quickly waved his hands and said, "You don't have to panic. These three people are here for the same purpose as you, and their job is not to be commentators, but referees."
When Su Shi and Su Che heard this, they both had a look of relief on their faces. It turned out that they were not competing with themselves for the position, but that the three of them had other things to do.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of carriages came over here. It seemed that Bao Zheng and the other three were driving faster, otherwise the sound would not have been heard in the main hall.
Lu Xu knew that Bao Zheng was here, so he immediately stood up and motioned Tangxi to go to the kitchen to see how Lu Yao's preparations were going. Tangxi looked confused, but left anyway, thinking in his mind that he should leave by himself
Now, who is going to greet Bao Zheng and the others?
Tangxi still doesn't know Lu Xu thoroughly enough. She still doesn't know what happened between Lu Xu and Bao Zheng.
As soon as Tang Xi left, Lu Xu immediately stood up from his seat and said to the two people: "You two wait here for a moment, and I will go to greet Mr. Bao."
After saying that, Lu Xu left Su Shi and Su Che behind and left.
Lu Xu's move was somewhat thoughtless. Although Su Shi and Su Zhe were not important figures, and the imperial examinations had not yet been taken, they were just two ordinary literati, but as the Minister of Household Affairs,
This kind of hospitality still made Su Shi and Su Che feel uncomfortable.
What's more, Tangxi didn't even know what happened between Lu Xu and Bao Zheng, let alone Su Shi and Su Che.
Su Shi didn't say anything, but Su Zhe couldn't bear it anymore. He almost dropped the teacup on the ground and said, "Is this Lu Xu still the Minister of Household Affairs? Treating us like this?"
"He attaches great importance to Master Bao Zheng." Su Shi said calmly.
Su Che said: "Come on, I think he is treating us differently. He knows that the two of us have no power and status, so he just left us alone while he was busy trying to curry favor with Bao Zheng, who is about to become the husband-in-law."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Su Shi looked around. Fortunately, the other servants didn't notice him. He quickly stopped Su Che from speaking. You know, this was in the Lu Mansion, not in their temple.
"Lu Xu is Lu Yao's father. I don't think he is such a person." Su Shi said.
"No matter what, this fact is before our eyes." Su Zhe said, "But we are here for Lu Yao today. We have nothing to do with him, Lu Xu, so I just pretend that I can't see him."
Su Shi nodded and said: "Well, let's just pretend that nothing happened. Regarding Lu Xu's behavior just now, let's find a chance to ask Lu Yao. I think since he is Lu Yao's father, we still need to understand these etiquette.
of."
Lu Xu came to the gate, and Bao Zheng and the other three were already waiting outside. Lu Xu was always very polite to Bao Zheng and quickly invited him in.
On the way to the main hall, Lu Xu told Bao Zheng about Su Shi and Su Che who were still waiting in the main hall.
Although Bao Zheng had heard of these two names, he didn't know much about them in depth.
On Gongsun Ce's side, despite his stuttering, Gongsun Ce really liked studying poetry and poetry. Although his ability to write poems was average, he had always admired talented poets.
When Gongsun Ce heard the names of Su Shi and Su Che, his face showed a rare expression of excitement.
I wanted to say something, but because of my stuttering and excitement, I was speechless for a while.
Bao Zheng quickly calmed Gongsun Ce's mood and turned to explain to Lu Xu.
"He is a person who likes to write good poems. I didn't expect that I could see Su Dongpo today. I am naturally very excited. Am I right?"
Gongsun Ce did not speak, but nodded repeatedly.
Lu Xu smiled and thought to himself that he just left Su Shi and Su Che there and came out. Isn't it bad?
Zhan Zhao, who followed the team at the end, was a martial arts practitioner and was naturally not interested in poetry, poetry, and poetry. Zhan Zhao said, "I don't know Mr. Lu, no, what is Mr. Lu doing now?"
Lu Xu said with a smile: "Quinzi is in the kitchen now, busy preparing dinner dishes for a while."
Bao Zheng and the other three people were a bit confused. Speaking of which, Su Shi and Su Che clearly mentioned when they received Tangxi's invitation that they would ask Lu Yao to prepare Dongpo Pork, and their dinner in the evening would be at Lu Mansion.
have eaten.
But when Tangxi went to Kaifeng Mansion, she didn't see Bao Zheng. Secondly, she did tell Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce about having dinner at Lu Mansion. So at this time, she heard Lu Xu say that Lu Yao was preparing dinner.
The three of them were all a little confused, wondering whether they were here to discuss matters or to have a meal.
Speaking of the last time, Bao Zheng was kept at home by Lu Xuqiang for a meal. After tasting Lu Yao's craftsmanship, Bao Zheng was so reluctant to leave. But a person like him, even if he knew that as long as he asked Lu Yao
It was not difficult for Lu Yao to open his mouth and cook a few dishes. Even so, Bao Zheng's character would not allow him to open his mouth.
Speaking of last time, when Bao Zheng returned to Kaifeng Mansion, they saw Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce looking satisfied. The two of them thought that the food Bao Zheng ate in Lu Mansion was very average, but when Bao Zheng saw
The two men were not angry at all, because they had already tasted Lu Yao's craftsmanship.
Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce looked at each other with embarrassed looks on their faces. Zhan Zhao said, "Master Lu, let's not eat here. We should wait until we finish talking about business and go back home to eat."
Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao quickly winked at Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng. In fact, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce had agreed that after talking about things today, they would go to Fanlou for a meal and take Bao Zheng with them.
He didn't go last time.
Gongsun Ce nodded repeatedly, but Bao Zheng suddenly said: "You two can finish the business and take care of the food yourself. I won't follow you and will stay in Lu Mansion for dinner."
What is going on? Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce are very puzzled. Could it be that this master had some delicious food in Lu Mansion last time? But it stands to reason that no matter how delicious the food is, it was made by people in Lu Mansion.
, how can it be compared with Fan Lou's? Both of them did not understand Bao Zheng's words.
In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the main hall. Lu Xu first arranged for the three people to sit down, and then said: "I'm afraid today, Zhan Zhao, Mr. Gongsun Ce, you two are really going to have dinner at the house. Quan Zi means that we can eat together."
, while we talked about official matters."
Of course, this was also meant for Su Shi and Su Zhe. Lu Xu was basically telling them that today they were talking about things while eating.
Su Shi and Su Che are not officials in the court and do not stick to some etiquette, so there is no problem. However, Bao Zheng is different. After all, he is an official of the court. Bao Zheng has always been unambiguous about business matters.
.
"It's never been done before while talking about things while eating. Isn't it a bit illegal?"
Regarding Bao Zheng's question, Lu Xu was also a little embarrassed. In fact, he and Bao Zheng thought the same thing, but he had already made it clear that he would support Lu Yao before, so he could only believe him now.
Lu Xu said: "Actually, I don't quite understand what this kid Lu Yao is thinking. You can ask him yourselves when you have dinner later."
Bao Zheng could see from Lu Xu's expression that he had indeed just learned about Lu Yao's arrangement. Since there was no way to change it, he would accept it and ask Lu Yao the reason later.
Gongsun Ce didn't think there was anything wrong with this rule. Instead, he got close to Su Shi and asked him about poetry. Because of his stutter, Gongsun Ce couldn't express some questions clearly, so he invited Zhan to do it.
Zhao came to translate.
Bao Zheng was so angry that Gongsun Ce actually became like a little fanboy in front of Su Shi.
Not long after, Tang Xi's figure appeared again. He looked at Lu Xu and said, "Master, the food is ready. We can invite everyone to the restaurant."
Lu Xu nodded and took the five people to the restaurant where they were eating.
As soon as everyone entered, the aroma hit their nostrils, and the strongest aroma was the plate of Dongpo pork placed in the center of the table.
Looking at the dishes on the table, the most surprised ones were Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce, because these dishes were almost the same as the ones they ordered at Fan Lou last time.
However, the aroma of this dish seems to be stronger than that made by Fan Lou.
Everyone looked at the dishes on the table with different expressions on their faces.
At this time, Lu Yao's iconic voice came over.
"Stop standing, sit down."
Lu Yao walked into the restaurant and asked everyone to sit down while holding a pot in his hand. Needless to say, it contained sour plum soup.
Among the people present, the only ones who have never tried Lu Yao's craftsmanship are Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce, so these two looked eager to try it.
