Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Guanyin Temple Hutong is an exquisite house with Jiangnan charm.  Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang were visiting their fellow villager Wang Xijue.

    Wang Xijue was also from Taicang, but he was not of the same clan as Wang Wuyang.  The latter is the Langya Wang family, and the former is the Taiyuan Wang family.

    Wang Shizhen¡¯s family has a scholarly family background and has been married for generations, but their wealth is not as rich as that of Wang Xijue¡¯s family.  Wang Xijue's family has been in business for generations and can be said to be the richest man in Taicang, but no one in his family has ever been an official, so in terms of prestige and status, he has always been far behind the latter.

    But in this generation, I don¡¯t know what kind of smoke is coming from the Wang family¡¯s ancestral tomb in Taiyuan.  Wang Xijue actually won the first prize and second place in Jiajing's 41st year. Now he is serving as a lecturer at the Jingyan Banquet at a young age, teaching today's emperors. It can be said that his future is infinitely bright.

    Not only Wang Xijue, but also his younger brother Wang Dingjue was selected as a candidate and will also participate in next year's Spring Festival.

    With Leader Wang¡¯s temper, the relationship between the two families suddenly warmed up, and they became like a family.

    Today, Wang Xijue specifically applied for leave from the Hanlin Academy, prepared a table of delicious food at home, and entertained the two juniors In fact, Wang Xijue was only in his early thirties, a few years older than Wang Wuyang, but there was nothing he could do. Who would let him be the same generation as Wang Shizhen?  When it comes to friendship, Wang Wuyang can only call him "Uncle Shi".

    Although Confucius said that "a gentleman is far away from the kitchen", China has always had a tradition of "literati cuisine".  For example, Su Dongpo and Lu Fangweng were all masters at this. Although Wang Xijue was a member of the Imperial Academy, he did not realize that it was a shame to cook a few unique dishes in person.

    ¡°After all, it¡¯s an elegant thing for educated people to go to a brothel, let alone go to the kitchen

    Regardless of whether Lao Wang has ever been to a brothel or not, he has spent a lot of time studying cooking skills. When he has time, he calls friends and cooks in person to entertain a group of colleagues of the same year.  Therefore, in the clear stream, his popularity is not like a clear stream.

    "Come here, have a taste of the pheasant soup that I restored to Fang Weng," Wang Xijue greeted and placed a steaming white porcelain soup basin on the dining table.  "Is it as delicious as your master's?"

    His younger brother Wang Dingjue scooped up two bowls and gave them to the two juniors to taste: "My brother is just a chef. He shouldn't stay in the Hanlin Academy. He should go to Guanglu Temple to cook."

    "Articles from Hanlin Academy, tea soup from Guanglu Temple" Eryang thought of the "four bad things" he heard the day before and couldn't help but snicker secretly.  In that case, Wang Shishu can account for half of the four items.

    However, when the two of them tasted the pheasant soup made by Wang Xijue, their eyes immediately lit up and they praised: "It tastes very delicious!"  "

    "Oh, haha, is it true?" Wang Xijue was overjoyed when he heard this.  In the past six months, the reputation of extremely delicious food has spread to Beijing. Some officials will even take a detour to Jinling when they go south to taste the taste of the "Twelfth Floor of Jiangnan".

    Of course, it¡¯s unclear what you¡¯ll do after you¡¯ve had a taste of it

    With that said, Wang Xijue said with some regret: "It's a pity that your teacher is in Jinling, otherwise you can ask him for advice."

    "My master is also coming to Beijing this time." Wang Wuyang replied with a smile.

    "Oh, really? Why didn't you invite him to come with you?" Wang Xijue was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "I really want to meet him. I heard that your teacher not only cooks well, but can also write a good poem.  He is the leader of the new generation of Qinhuai River!  "

    When Eryang heard this, he thought, "I finally saw it today. What does it mean to spread lies."  The master is obviously an innocent young man who has never even touched a woman's hand, but when the news spread to Beijing, he turned into a veteran of the show

    "Brother, you didn't send out an invitation, how embarrassing is it for someone to come to your door rashly?" The two of them were about to clear up their master's name, but they heard Wang Dingjue smile bitterly and start repairing his brother.  The two brothers had a very good relationship since childhood, and they were in front of their own juniors, so they naturally talked about anything.

    "As he said this, Wang Dingjue complained to Eryang again: "My eldest brother is just like this. He thinks of one thing after another without thinking about whether it is appropriate or not."

    After a pause, he complained again: "For example, today, he insisted on dragging Shen Zhuangyuan to accompany him. He didn't even think about it. He didn't have to avoid it in his junior year. He might be appointed as an examiner. This is not just causing trouble for everyone.  Well."

    When Eryang heard this, he was convinced.  Most of the examiners of the Chunwei House in this dynasty were selected from the Hanlin Academy. Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing had the right seniority and were indeed very likely to be selected.  However, because the former has a younger brother participating in the examination, even if he is selected, he will have to resign based on the principle of recusal.

    So the two of them came to visit him boldly.

    ????????????????????????? Otherwise, if someone causes trouble in the future and accuses everyone of having a secret meeting with the examiner, we will be in big trouble.

    "Hey, Rumo is just too cautious, and so are you. You have no taste for life at all." Wang Xijue rolled his eyes at his brother and said, "Have a meal."That¡¯s it, no big deal.  "

    "Tang Yin thought so too at the beginning" Wang Dingjue said quietly.

    "Your brother and I are just such a careless person, but why haven't we come here safely? There are so many bad things." Wang Xijue curled his lips. In fact, he also realized that it was really inappropriate for him to extend Shen Shixing's company.  But he was a forthright and spontaneous person. He had always been like this, and he couldn't change it even if he wanted to. So he put a chopstick of pork ribs in orange juice into his brother's mouth and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables. I can't stop your mouth."  "

    Seeing this, the two juniors didn¡¯t want to say anything more, so they just started enjoying the delicious food.

    ??~~

    With four meat and four vegetables, eight dishes and one soup, the four of them had a clean meal.

    Er Yang then rubbed his round belly and said to Wang Xijue: "My master has only tied up his hair when he was young, and he is not yet old enough to go out to the land of fireworks."

    "Yes, Uncle Shi, if someone spreads rumors in the future, please clarify it on your behalf and not tarnish my master's reputation." Wang Wuyang nodded and said seriously: "Otherwise, we will investigate to the end!"

    "Oh, really, hahaha" Wang Xijue touched the back of his head in embarrassment when he heard this and said, "I read the poems in "The Collection of First Meetings" and thought that a respectable master must be at least forty or above, but I didn't expect  Only fourteen or fifteen years old"

    "Yes." This time Wang Dingjue did not criticize his brother, because he was also shocked and said: "How did he write such a masterpiece with rich emotions and vicissitudes of mind?"

    When Eryang heard the words, he immediately became proud, held his head high, and said in unison: "The so-called unparalleled geniuses are truly gifted from heaven. The master is a genius among geniuses. He is born with profound and vast talents and knowledge, surpassing the knowledge of ancient and modern times, and any poem he writes is unparalleled.  No surprise!¡±

    "Heh" Brother Wang Xijue couldn't help but gasped, wondering if these two children had joined a cult?  How come the top two candidates in the Yingtianxiang test are so easily brainwashed?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? What a pity.

    "Only the ancient sages can be compared with the master, and even Zhu Zi and Cheng Zi are not worthy!" Hua Shuyang was very angry when he saw the two people showing disapproval.

    Wang Wuyang pulled him and told him not to argue, then he took out the geometry book from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Xijue with both hands and said: "If you don't believe me, please read this book. If you still don't admit it after reading it,  The master is a scholar of heaven and earth, so please return it to us."

    After a pause, he added: "If you two agree, please ask Uncle Shi to help us print a thousand copies, and we will preach for the teacher!"

    ps. Looking at the two ridiculous failures that Wang Xijue suffered in his life, they were all related to his lack of rigor in doing things and making low-level mistakes at critical moments.  But among all the chief assistants in the past, I still like Wang Xijue the best.  Well, my destiny.

    ps2. The fourth update, 2,600 votes plus an update will be sent to Well, I think it's pretty well written.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
