The person who recommended Yu Qian as governor of Jiangxi was Zhu Heng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yang Shiqi seconded the proposal. After Zhang Ning agreed, the matter was finally decided. Within two days, Zhang Ning hosted a banquet in Wuchang at the Ganquan Pavilion on Shahu Island.
A group of senior officials can also be regarded as Yu Qian's practice before departure.
The weather was clear and cloudless, with a gentle breeze and calm water. There was a woman playing the flute outside the pavilion. This scene was exactly what the scholar-bureaucrats thought was elegant. Wuchang's flute is very famous, because a kind of reed pipe is produced on Sha Lake.
During the Hongwu period, Zhu Zhen, King of Chu Zhao, came here and had nothing to do. He often played in nearby beautiful places. He discovered that this kind of reed pipe could be used as a musical instrument, so he ordered people to make the reed pipe into a flute, which became a fashion for a while.
.So visiting Sha Lake and listening to the flute is the most appropriate time.
A group of people gathered together, enjoying the cool and moist wind, listening to the sound of the flute, and chatting and laughing happily while waiting for the food to be served. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
The delicacies are also mainly based on aquatic products from the rivers and lakes, including crab roe, fish and shrimp and other dishes made into various styles. At this moment, someone with sharp eyes in the audience pointed to the dish that had just been served and said: "Isn't this puffer fish?"
Even the well-informed scholar-bureaucrats, many of whom had never eaten this stuff, looked down at the new dishes in front of them after hearing this, because it is said that puffer fish is highly poisonous and will kill you if you eat it carelessly.
A young official sitting at the same table immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I heard that although this food is delicious, it is poisonous in the internal organs, so I must be careful. If you are brave, please try it for the prince first."
After hearing this, Zhang Ning immediately praised: "Your loyalty is commendable."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman suddenly said in a cold voice: "Everyone knows that puffer fish is poisonous. To cook this thing, you need the most knife skills. There are rules in the world. Whoever cooks it can try it. I can't break the rules."
Zhang Ning and others heard the sound and turned around to look, only to see a girl wearing white clothes and a white skirt standing outside the pavilion. Seeing her appearance, Zhang Ning actually felt a chill in his heart on this sunny summer day.
Her face was bloodless white, and even her expression was extremely cold. It was originally an elegant banquet that was full of interest, but Zhang Ning felt that everything was meaningless for a moment... A feeling of indifference to life came to his mind. Could this woman be an assassin?
But he quickly realized from the woman's dress that she was a swordsman in white from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Out of some unknown mood, Zhang Ning suddenly became interested in this woman and blurted out, "Who are you and what's your name?"
The woman replied: "My humble position is called Ji Chou, a bodyguard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
When he heard the name, Zhang Ning's first reaction was that this woman was not ugly. If it weren't for her lifeless face, she would actually be quite pretty. However, he soon realized that this ugliness was not that ugliness, and ugliness was just a person.
The ranking is just like another swordsman in white he knows named Xin Wei, it's just A, B, C and D, it has no other meaning.
A maid brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Ji Chou put a little bit of fish on each plate in front of everyone, and then ate it in front of everyone. After a while, she said, "Your Majesty and your lords, you can feel free to eat."
At this time, Yu Qian stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I have the audacity to say that human life is at stake. To put human life at stake just for the taste of words is detrimental to the sagacity of the prince. It is more likely to teach high-ranking families to follow suit, which is detrimental to the people. Please give me an order."
No fugu."
"Ting Yi is an upright and virtuous minister after all." Zhang Ning praised him kindly, "But it is said that it is not easy to eat pufferfish. It is not easy for Ji Chou to cook delicious dishes for you. Now it has been confirmed that it is okay to eat, so let's not waste it.
Okay, how about after finishing this meal?"
Zhang Ning thought that when the pufferfish dish came out today, Yu Qian would rush to try it for him to show his loyalty. After all, if such a large military power was entrusted to him with trust, there had to be a sign of coming and going, right? How could he have imagined that?
There will be a forbidden puffer fish.
When Yang Shiqi saw this, he also tried to persuade him, saying that we would not talk about serious matters in today's gathering, but only talk about romance.
So everyone raised their glasses to honor the King of Xiang first, and then wished Yu Shilang a victory with his troops. After drinking two glasses of wine, everyone waited for Zhang Ning to pick up his chopsticks before everyone prepared to taste today's delicious food.
Zhang Ning first took a piece of fish into his mouth. He felt that it was delicious and had an unusual taste. Fang thought it was bland when he tasted it, but the more he tasted it, the more unique he felt. Then he asked Ji Chou who was standing by: "It tastes good. How do you like it?"
Did you make this dish? How did you cook it?" Ji Chou's tone was still cold: "First select the fresh fish and cut it, then put a little less oil on the iron plate, sprinkle some salt, put the fish on it and fry it until it is done.
.”
Everyone heard Zhang Ning talk about the delicious food, and they all agreed, "I didn't expect that such a delicious dish can be made with such a simple method. The right way is to have great sound and sound, and the great way is simple. It's wonderful."
Ji Chou said lightly: "Ordinary dishes are seasoned with ginger, garlic, coriander, salt and vinegar. Good ingredients only need to reflect their original taste."
Zhang Ning found it interesting after hearing this. When he turned around to look, he saw that Yu Qian also picked up the chopsticks to pick up the puffer fish meat, and he felt happy again. As expected, Yu Qian is not a really pedantic and stubborn person.
...After drinking and eating, everyone took a boat ashore. Among the flowers, plants and trees on the north bank of the lake, there was a villa that was once the property of the King of Chu. After the King of Chu, Zhu Mengnan, escaped, it was logical that he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take over it. Zhang
Ning saw that this place was quiet and there were few people around, so he wanted to take a look. He immediately announced that he would stay here and asked the guards to send the officials back home first.
He led a group of followers through a bamboo forest, only to see a lot of chopped bamboo piled outside the house. However, it looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time, and there was water under the bamboo pile. The guard opened the door and opened the door.
Entering, Zhang Ning followed. There were also many tools and reed poles in the yard. An attendant from the Ministry of Internal Affairs nearby said: "This place used to be the house of the Palace of Chu. It was probably responsible for weaving some bamboo utensils and cutting reed flutes for the palace's use."
Later, no one took care of it, and several craftsmen inside were missing.
Zhang Ning nodded, casually entered the room and walked up the stairs. The guard hurriedly pushed open a room, simply took off his clothes, cleared away the table inside, and asked Zhang Ning to take a seat. Seeing that he had not left the place yet,
A middle-aged man ordered people to go to the kitchen to pack up the utensils and make tea. Zhang Ning looked around, thinking that he had a tryst with Dong last time. If it were here, no one would disturb him and he could take his time.
He pointed at Jichou and said, "You stay." Then he waved his sleeves, and everyone exited the room knowingly.
At this moment, Ji Chou didn't wait for Zhang Ning to ask questions, and suddenly whispered: "I have something to tell the prince. The prince (Wen Kui) was killed by his subordinates."
"Oh?" Zhang Ning immediately looked up at her face.
Ji Chou said: "I didn't expect that I could survive until now."
Zhang Ning nodded, "The puffer fish meat is really delicious, no wonder some people eat it even if it is highly poisonous... What do you think of Mr. Yu?"
Ji Chou said, "I don't know."
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "Everyone has their own feelings. What impression does it give you?"
"It's quite annoying." Ji Chou said without hesitation, "I don't have a good impression of this kind of official who keeps saying he is for the people. If the prince wants to kill him, I will easily take his head."
Zhang Ning was stunned, "When did I say I wanted to kill him? You are too angry, you are really a dangerous little girl."
Ji Chou remained expressionless and silent. Zhang Ning said "pufferfish" twice, and as soon as his mind moved, he reached out to hold her hand. Ji Chou's hand trembled slightly but did not resist, and he looked directly at her with a pair of cold and bright eyes.
Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning turned a blind eye and pulled her to his legs. He put one hand on the back of her skirt and said, "You said that as long as the good fish retains its original taste, why do you need to add salt?"
Ji Chou remained motionless and said: "Salt can force out the taste of fish, otherwise it will be bland and tasteless."
"I see." Zhang Ning ordered, "Untie your belt and let me taste your original taste."
Ji Chou was stunned for a moment, and then he had to follow the instructions and take off his belt. She remained calm, but her hands were trembling slightly. Zhang Ning suddenly stood up, hugged her waist, and buried his face in hers.
She took a deep breath on her chest. Her breasts were not plump, but she felt that her breasts were very elastic and firm under the clothes. There was no fat on her body at all, and her lines were very good.
The girl stepped back nervously and bumped into the edge of the table, then sat on the table. Zhang Ning lifted up her white top and kissed and tasted the skin on her abdomen, then went all the way down...
"Prince, you... ah!" Xin Chou gritted his teeth and raised his head, his fingers inserted into his bun, leaving him helpless with his head buried underneath.
After a while, she started to shiver. She opened her eyes and felt someone outside the door. She turned around and looked at the door, but her mind went blank. Maybe the tea server had come up and she didn't dare to come in after hearing the commotion inside to disturb King Xiang.
It was a good thing, but I was worried that something would happen and I couldn't leave, so I had to stay outside.
After a long time, Ji Chou silently adjusted her clothes. Her face was slightly red and finally had color. She whispered, "You really dare to eat anything."
…
There is a quiet courtyard in the Chu Palace. The corridor outside the room is also made of wood off the ground. It is spotless and free of mud. Chunmei is standing outside a room, and Ji Chou is kneeling on the ground next to her. Inside, there is a quiet and pleasant sound.
The voice said: "The prince really didn't have sex with you?"
Chunmei continued: "Ji Chou, you have to tell the truth. There is nothing you can't say in front of my wife. If you lie, you won't be able to tell the truth if it happens."
Ji Chou said: "No."
Chunmei asked for Mrs. Yao: "Then what did you call the bed? Someone heard it. What did you do in it?"
Ji Chou's face turned red: "Your Majesty lifted up... my subordinate's skirt and started eating my lower body. I was holding back, but I didn't know when I made some noise."
"Are you seducing the prince?" Chunmei laughed.
Ji Chou said: "I don't dare. Your Majesty ate puffer fish, which is poisonous but very delicious. Then out of interest, he said he wanted to taste my... taste, but my subordinates didn't dare to disobey."
