Husband Xie An

The carriage got out of Bird Clothes Lane, Xie Xuan led Lin Abao to get off the car and strolled from the busiest street to the West Gate, and then turned around from the West Gate, passing by a courtyard was blocked by the sharp-eyed Wang Xianzhi.

"Okay, Xie Youdu, I asked you out yesterday and said I don't have time, so I'm going to catch you right now?"

Xie Xuan couldn't laugh or cry: "I really don't have time, I need to entertain my cousin."

"Cousin?" Wang Xianzhi looked at Lin Abao, Lin Abao's fingertips were clasped, and his eyebrows were raised in salute.Wang Xianzhi hurriedly returned the gift: "Is he really cousin Youdu?"

Lin Abao looked at Xie Xuan in bewilderment, Xie Xuan glared at his friend angrily: "Could it be possible to lie to you? Abao is a relative from my mother's side, a serious cousin." Three thousand miles, isn't it?

"Why haven't I heard you mention it? That day Xiao Yu..."

"Cough!" Xie Xuan quickly winked, Wang Xianzhi shut up in embarrassment, peeping at others is really rude, it's better not to say anything.

Lin Abao: "?"

Xie Xuan stepped aside and motioned to Wang Xianzhi: "A Bao, this is my close friend, Wang Xianzhi of Langya Wang Clan, whose father is a well-known 'Sage of Books'. Xianzhi, this is my cousin, Lin A Bao, whose father was the former governor of Fuzhou."

Lin Abao's eyes lit up, Wang Xianzhi, the son of the 'Sage of Calligraphy', is one of the best in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!Must know!

"Brother Wang."

"Brother Lin Xian." With fingers clasped together, eyebrows raised falsely, nodding his head humbly, this is a much more formal greeting. "Brother Lin Xian, if you don't mind, just ask me to offer it." Jiankang is at the foot of the emperor, and his Langya Wang family is already very popular, so calling 'Brother Wang' may cause some trouble if someone who cares listens to it.

Lin Abao changed his words obediently: "I offer it."

Wang Xianzhi, who was captured in an instant, changed his words: "Then I will call you Bao, kind."

Xie Xuan glanced at his friends, it's almost ready, don't put your nose on the face, Wang Xianzhi smiled, Ah Bao is not from your family, so why are you stopping me from making friends?

The heirs cultivated by big families are never simple people.Of course, the two of them didn't know at this time that Lin Abao was really Xie'jia.

It would be easier if both parties knew each other, Wang Xianzhi tried his best to invite Lin Abao to their party to play together. "Since Ah Bao came here, we got to know each other. We are all friends of the same age. It is also an elegant thing to meet friends through poetry and learn from literature."

When talking about poetry, Lin Abao was embarrassed: "I don't know poetry."

Wang Xianzhi thought he was modest: "Neither do we, it's just for fun."

If he hadn't known that Wang Xianzhi had the term "famous writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty", Lin Abao would have believed it. "I really don't know how. I was weak until I was eight years old, and my parents hurt me so much that I haven't memorized all the four books and five classics."

Kai Meng at the age of three, Xie and Wang, who were able to recite the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of five, looked at each other. Xie Xuan suggested: "Then why don't you go?"

Wang Xianzhi nodded: "Then I won't go, I'll call Xiao Yu and Cui Ji out, and let's go play elsewhere."

Xiao Yu and Cui Ji were also surprised by Lin Abao. Two days ago, they were curious about who this young man was, but it was fate that they met today?Wang Xianzhi proposed to call them by their first names, Xiao Yu and Cui Ji naturally agreed, they kept their mouths on Abao and Abao.

"Where does Ah Bao want to go?" Xiao Yu leaned over and asked.

Lin Abao rubbed his stomach: "It's noon, it's time for lunch."

"Lunch? What is lunch?" Cui Ji asked.

"It's just for lunch." Lin Abao didn't realize that eating three meals a day was nothing, but at least he remembered that this was the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he only ate two meals of morning food and feeding. He explained: "I am not in good health. The doctor asked me to eat less and more meals to keep fit, and my mother told me to prepare three meals a day in the kitchen. I had breakfast at Chen, lunch at [-] noon, and dinner at [-] quarter in You. Sometimes I would have snacks and stewed soup when I was hungry. I sleep late at night and have supper."

Young men who have only eaten two meals since they were born sucked their saliva, Lin Abao came up with an idea: "How about you come to my house to have lunch together? Let me tell you, my house has a lot of delicious food! There are glutinous rice balls and green moxa balls. Yesterday, the kitchen bought peach blossoms and pear blossoms. Today I will definitely make peach blossom cakes, pear blossom cakes, peach blossom cakes, and pear blossom cakes. Not greasy at all but delicious!"

Cui Ji swallowed his saliva and said insincerely: "Isn't it a bit abrupt to go like this?"

Lin Abao scratched his head: "As long as you don't notice my abruptness, it's fine. My father and mother are still guests in the Xie Mansion, so I'm the only one to entertain you. I don't like to go out and have no friends, so I don't know if I can entertain you well." You guys, why don't you wait for my father and mother to invite you over next time?"

Wang Xianzhi coughed lightly and gave Xie Xuan a wink, Xie Xuan said forcefully: "You don't need to be so particular about playing with your peers, as long as Ah Bao doesn't blame us for bothering you."

"No, no, it's too late for me to like it!"

The matter was settled in this way, Xiao Yu and Cui Ji looked at each other and signaled: "Then Ah Bao will lead the way?"

The party stepped into the carriage and approached the Lin Mansion. Earlier, Ping An cleverly dispatched an errand to take a shortcut to the Lin Mansion to inform the steward to get ready. After a group of five people got off the carriage, the steward had asked someone to open the front door and lead the servants to wait at the gate. .

"What soup is prepared in the kitchen today? Is the peach blossom cake ready? Is there anything else to eat?"

As soon as I entered the door, my friends asked me what to eat before I made arrangements. What kind of routine is this?The butler pulled off the corners of his stiff mouth, and answered methodically: "The pigeon soup prepared today, the peach blossom cake and pear blossom cake are steaming on the cage, and the pastry is still being made, and there are ready-made glutinous rice balls and green ai balls, Mr. Xiaolang hasn't had lunch yet, right? ? Do you want the kitchen to fry two dishes?"

"There's no need to cook, let the fat aunt cook a mixed vegetable rice, and five servings of pigeon soup, and send it to me when it's done."

The butler responded and went to give instructions to the kitchen, Lin Abao took them to his own yard, followed by Ping An looking for an opportunity to turn around and run to catch up with the butler and told the identities of the four young guests, the butler was dumbfounded and raised his concerns and sent someone Go and inform Mrs. Xia, Zhuaner personally rushed to the kitchen to watch all kinds of food.

Not to mention the kitchen, because these four honorable young gentlemen are busy, Lin Abao took the guests to sit down in the gazebo in his yard, Juhua brought the guests some dried fruit candies, Ping An carefully brought the small stove, inside the small stove The charcoal fire is burning vigorously, and the boiling water in the small teapot is boiling.

Lin Abao waved: "Put it here, I'll make tea."

Pingan moved the small stove as he said, and Juhua brought a small tea tray made of exquisite bamboo.On the tea tray are exquisite black lacquer pot-bellied teapots and matching lacquerware pot-bellied teacups. The teacups are small, no bigger than a baby’s fist, and round in shape. There is a big difference between the tea cups with large mouths at the bottom.

"Is this a tea set for making tea? It's so small and chic."

There is already a way to eat tea in the Eastern Jin Dynasty without adding ginger, scallions and sesame seeds, but it is mostly used for making tea. Once the tea is boiled, it will become old and bitter like medicinal juice. Naturally, Lin Abao, who is used to making tea, is not used to it. Fortunately, He has a father who is a prefect, and he has the conditions to make tea for him. "The brewed tea is too bitter, similar to the concoction I used to drink. We use brewed tea, which is lighter and less bitter than brewed tea. Drinking it will not cause insomnia at night."

Two layers of tea trays that can be poured are designed, so Lin Abao will naturally not lack the six gentlemen of tea art.Put the tea leaves on the saucer, carefully put them into the hot teapot, and then pour the boiling water.

"It smells so good." Wang Xianzhi sniffed.

"It smells so good, what kind of tea is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Seeing Cui Ji poking his head curiously, Lin Abao put the whole tea pot in his hand: "This is a common tea, but it is better to stir-fry it with warm fire to increase the aroma of the tea and reduce the bitterness, and it is good to rinse it with boiling water. "

The teapot was twirled in the hands of the four, and Wang Xianzhi asked, "Is this the current recipe for drinking tea in Fuzhou?"

"Not really, I made it up. The tea is too bitter, but it's also very light. You can drink it. If you don't like it, we can make tea again." After washing the tea and scalding the cup, the second water Only for tasting.

The small teacup was too small, and the four people who were used to holding teacups were not used to it at first, but after getting used to holding it with their fingers, they found it quite good.The soup without tea dregs is as bright as amber, and when it comes close to the nose, an elegant and delicate fragrance hits the nostrils. , Articulation lasts for a long time.

Lin Abao looked at the four of them nervously: "How do you feel? If you're not used to it, we can make tea instead."

People who are used to drinking boiled tea feel bland when they drink it for the first time, but the advantage of bland tea is that it reduces the bitterness and increases the mellow aroma. From the taste and experience, it is easier to be accepted by people.

Xie Xuan smiled: "No need to change it. It's very good."

The other three nodded and said that there is no need to change. Lin Abao heaved a sigh of relief, and the butler led someone to bring the food. The fragrant pigeon soup was stewed until it was golden in color. The assorted vegetarian fried rice, the stomachs of the gluttonous young men are growling.

This time was already past Lin Abao's lunch time, so he didn't care about being polite at the moment, and just put his head down to eat after saying hello.After eating a cup of pigeon soup and a bowl of fried rice, Lin Abao licked his tongue and felt unsatisfied: "Is there any more? Bring another bowl."

It's rare for my little lord to add a meal, Juhua and Ping'an were overjoyed like something, fearing that the little lord would change his mind, they ran to the kitchen and brought a big soup bowl for fried rice.The soup bowl is probably as big as a washbasin, and there is still half a bowl of fried rice. Lin Abao bit his tongue and filled half of the bowl for himself, and then greeted his four friends: "There is still fried rice, eat it yourself."

Ju Hua and Ping An, who were beside Hou, twitched their eyebrows, wondering whether to laugh or cry, do you greet guests like this?Immediately, they were worried that their little lord would not be able to digest after eating too much. One of the worried two couldn't get the kitchen to prepare soup to help digestion, and the other went to the small kitchen to fetch mountain slag slices for him to digest.
