By Jia Xiuzhen

Li Wan was the only one who knew about Guiliu's fight back and forth from Lin's residence to Jia's residence.

On the second day, Mother Xin went to look for the head of Rong, she said: "The old lady has sent people here several times, seeing that the girl has to go too. We discussed that everyone will be lively tonight, especially Let me invite you to this big Buddha. How about it? Sir Unknown, can you show me your face?"

Master Rong raised the corner of his mouth: "It's not easy to hide the news in this mansion from me. You asked someone to bring in a few big drums early in the morning. What kind of idea did you have, and you still pretended that I didn't know? You said such a thing again , Do you think you want to use the girl to suppress me?"

Nanny Xin snorted: "You are a villain at heart! I don't care about you either! To tell you the truth, the girl was specially found by some monks in the mountains who picked two jars of wine. What about our girl? Man, of course you know, it’s not that soft-spoken one anymore. Since she said that, I think the wine has something to do with it. I’ll ask someone to prepare it early. If not, you’ll be drunk by then. If you play the drum, you don’t have to worry about it? It’s better to prepare something, and you have a better face. It’s always better to say it while drinking, and it’s better than being drunk!”

The cynicism and sarcasm at the back of the manager Rong did not catch her ears at all, only heard her: "So there is good wine?"

Sister Xin nodded: "Keep the ones you've never seen before."

Master Rong shook his head: "Success! I'll ask Mrs. Yin to help Yanyue and those girls go!"

Sister Xin continued to click her tongue and said, "Look, look, once you hear that there is wine, even sister Yin is counted on you!"

Manager Rong said with a calm face: "If you have good wine, why don't you have good food? Besides, I can drink a pot? Let her know when the time comes, and you can do it well? Really. By the way, why don't you prepare the chime clock as well?" ?”

Mother Xin was startled, she shrank her neck and turned her head, "What do you want to do?"

Mr. Rong looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Look at your small family spirit! Don't you drink two cups? I will use the drum by then, and you don't show some real material? How many times do you spend a day? You really have a face to send the girls to play with a sour tune."

Sister Xin snorted angrily, "Don't worry about it!" She turned around and left.Director Rong stood at the table watching her go away, then he walked to the side and took a sip from the teapot, humming a little tune and going to read the account book.

Sure enough, in the evening, tables and seats were set up on the pavilion, and Daiyu came up, and she saw a large, three small sitting drums and three standing drums in sequence on the east pavilion; , couldn't help clapping his hands and said to Mo Ge'er: "Let's open our eyes today!" Mo Ge'er was also very excited, and nodded hurriedly: "Thanks to the girl, how can I do it on weekdays! Speaking of today's dishes There is also Guanshi Yin, speaking of it, Yanyue listens to Rong like that, and it is a blessing to help her old man. The girl can drink a few glasses generously today." Said Daiyu's heart.

At present, one seat near the lake is the most respected, and then there are two tables of geese, and then there is a long line of tables.Surrounded by some jasmine, jasmine, and summer moon orchids.In the evening, the lotus in the pond is all asleep, and it is not lonely to have these.Daiyu smiled and blessed the several managers and nuns, and said with a smile: "I dare not ask to sit with all the gentlemen at the same table, but I am afraid that there will be a grand event today. It is time for us to open our eyes. If there is no one who understands It is rare for the seniors to lead the way. Therefore, I hope that gentlemen will not be too rude, and take care of them." The managers laughed when they heard this, they dared not say anything, and asked Mo Ge'er to serve Daiyu to the table.

In this way, Daiyu sat at a table with Director Rong, Nanny Xin and Director Yin, and the rest of them sat in the back of the table equally.She said: "I am a practitioner, and I have nothing to do with fireworks and food. It is more beneficial to follow the girl and listen to the leaders' discussions." Daiyu knew that she never had empty words, so she let her go.

The person in charge over there stroked his palm lightly, and someone brought the food.Daiyu took a closer look, and saw that a plate came up first, and the one before the person, inside was green and green, and red and watery red.Guanshi Yin said with a smile: "Girl, if it's hot today, serve some fresh vegetables first, so as to clear your mouth and appetize."

Afterwards, each person had a small cup of clear soup, which was salty and slightly warm, and it was only four or five spoonfuls.The manager over there has already complained: "I said, little Yinzi, you haven't been exposed to fireworks for a long time, and it's still so trivial to cook and cook! How can we be so weak that we have to use soup to nourish our stomachs first? You Go down with a glass of water, and I will drink less wine later!" Director Yin smiled at Daiyu, and said softly: "Miss, please see, the way of eating is based on Tao, even if the diners are vulgar, It's not easy to deal with it perfunctorily, this is the skill of nourishing qi." Daiyu was very happy when she heard it.

Afterwards, it was served with savory and cold meat, stir-fried and hot-roasted, steamed and stewed in clear water, mixed with various salty and sour flavors, all of them were exquisite. For a pampered person like Daiyu, I would sigh, but my heart is a pity." I don't know what will happen if the fourth sister eats it."

She was thinking about it here, but the manager Rong smiled and said, "Miss, do you know why we don't dare to work hard for her when there is such a skilled person?"

Daiyu was wondering about this, so she naturally shook her head.The manager Rong laughed and said: "Miss doesn't know something, this person cooks, the food is delicious, but the messy ones make the gods jump in anger."

After speaking, he pointed to the cold meat plate in front of everyone: "Miss, can you see this white water sheep's head? How did you taste it?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "I just talked to Mama, why doesn't the mutton from other places have this taste? It doesn't have the smell of spices, but it's really delicious and crisp."

Manager Yin raised his glass to Daiyu in respect, and Manager Rong clapped his hands and said: "Haha! The girl is indeed a person who knows the taste! Tell the girl, the people at our table, just this one dish, I am afraid that it will take dozens of dishes. A sheep's head."

Daiyu was stunned, and Rong Zhang continued: "She cooks this dish and only picks two pieces of meat from the sheep's face, the size of a spoon. How much can that be? The compatibility is even more trivial. I only talk about the green onions used in it. I think the girl will also eat it." It’s unusual. The onion only needs to be white, and the core of the onion, which looks like a leek inside, has to be peeled off, and then soaked in light wine with a little salt before it can be used.

If you don't know this, even if you take the mutton cheek, it's hard to get the taste out.Moreover, there is a special emphasis on the selection of materials for this onion, and the onion from Xingyan is the best, because the onion smells the most recent Jiaodong onion.That's not counting, it has to be fresh, and it can't be used after two days of drying, so the onion core will lose heart!This is just a green onion, girl think about it, with such a character, who would dare to bother her all day long? ! "

Daiyu just blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's because the girl has a light mouth, and at this time, those heavy meat dishes are not allowed to be served. Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome. She has a hangover soup, just pick it up." The herring tail is shredded, so how big is the herring? The taste is indeed the best after drinking, but it is refreshing when you drink it, but your liver hurts when I look at the account." He laughed heartily at the table. sad.

Seeing Daiyu's astonishment, Mother Xin smiled and said, "Young lady, I don't know. There are a lot of rich people from the south, but they are very elegant. When the two meet each other, there is the so-called 'Qing Shilin cuisine'. It is said that it is Qing Dynasty. It is expensive, but it has to be based on the rich and powerful. Not only the dishes, but also the surrounding decorations of the banquet are very particular. After a table, the number of people who spend a lot of money can reach tens of thousands. It is also a crooked way to talk about it, it is not a meal Authentic. This is not the case here. Although it is done occasionally, she has to give the leftovers a decent use. Otherwise, look at the various account holders sitting at this table. Can you let her go?"

Director Yin nodded at Daiyu and said, "I'm going to take care of the bride's makeup and sedan chair, and I'll take care of sweeping the dust and dust after sending her off. Fortunately, it's only this time." The manager has already ordered the wine.

Daiyu quickly winked at GUI Liu, and GUI Liu moved a big wooden barrel out from under the long table over there.I saw that the bucket was full of crushed ice, and a celadon jar was buried in the middle.The head of Rong's eyes sparkled: "Yo? Good formation!"

Gui Liu took out the jar and wiped it clean, put it aside and said, "Mentals, this wine has already been frozen, if you use a small cup, the aroma will not come out, but you need to use a big bowl." That's good."

Director Rong nodded again and again, and someone over there served celadon bowls for everyone.Guiliu also nodded: "This bowl is good." She didn't know how to do it, but she unscrewed the lid of the porcelain altar that was originally tightly seamed, and patted off a layer of wax seal. Stare at her hands.

Guiliu Zhiqu flicked her wrist and filled her a bowl first.I saw that the color of the wine reflected the color of the glaze on the bowl, just like the moon falling into a deep pool reflecting the sky, and there was a clear and lingering charm just by seeing it.Without further ado, Rong Zhang took a sip of the wine, puffed his lips and tongue to inhale to wash the wine, and suddenly felt the cold scent of wine in his mouth and nose, and then swallowed slowly, even more viscera and six internal organs It's all going to be ironed out.After closing his eyes and savoring for a long time, Fang sighed: "It's worth moving the drum again." This sentence made everyone happy.

Guiliu spun around and poured it on everyone, Daiyu took a sip and her eyes lit up, but she recognized the same taste as the spirit tea.Yanyue Yuelan and the others at the two tables over there were unwilling to give up after watching, so they came over and pestered them. Daiyu smiled and said to Guiliu, "Do you have any more? Why don't you give them some to try?"

The manager Rong turned around and reprimanded everyone: "What's the trouble? You don't know how to drink, so what are you talking about!"

They are not ordinary people's masters and servants, so why should they be afraid?Mo Ge'er was the first to refuse: "The manager just needs to drink enough, I'm afraid I'm going to get two more jars from Guitou Liu's side! We only come to serve a bowl, what are we afraid of!"

Gui Liu still had a heart to hide his secrets, so it turned out that he couldn't keep it, so it's better for everyone to be happy.Then he simply took out the three jars of ice flower dew, and said proudly: "Anyway, they are here, I don't care, you have the ability to divide them yourself!" Except for the one altar that was opened, the other altar naturally fell into the hands of Mr. Rong.Seeing a table of people staring at her, she simply said: "After a while, I will go to visit my master. I am worried that I have nothing to show respect for. This is good." Everyone saw that she had mentioned the elders, but they were not happy. It's so embarrassing for her, and they are not drinkers at all, so they throw away the joke after a few words.

While drinking and laughing, she saw Master Rong emptied another bowl and flew up to the east pavilion. Daiyu now knew that Master Rong was also skilled in kung fu, and she looked very not weak.She turned her head a little bit, then got on the top of the biggest sitting drum, but she didn't hear the sound.Immediately, the drum stood up like a jade tree facing the wind, and suddenly kicked up and tapped lightly, and the sound of the drum came.After counting dong dong dong, her movements became faster and her figure was graceful, and she didn't see any utensils in her hand, and there was loud drumming when she raised her hands and feet.

The sound of the sitting drum is powerful, the sound of the standing drum is intense, the two poses are in harmony, and the circle of stone lamps on the pavilion reflects her figure and movements, which is already dazzling.When Daiyu listened to the drum music, at the beginning it was like a heavy rain falling to the ground, and Erer was pouring down, and gradually the sound of iron horses and swords sounded again.

Suddenly the sound became more and more urgent, seeing that it was the end of the battle, everyone who heard it raised their hearts to their throats, at this moment, a clear whistle came suddenly, like seeing the commander in the chaos.In an instant, the morale of one side was greatly boosted, and the drumbeat gradually became stronger and weaker, and finally they all ended up in one place.Seeing that it is the winner and the loser, seeing the difference, looking down on the world, there is a sense of desolation.The whistling sound gradually fades away, and the drum beats rest with each other. Sitting facing the bright moon in Pinghu Lake, this scene makes people suddenly sigh with emotion through the ages.

Before everyone could regain their senses, the ding-dong gradually rose from the west, just like a drop of clear rain falling on the heart of the listener, breaking the sense of confusion just now.But Nanny Xin, Guanshi Yin and the other two nuns in charge are playing the chime bell together.Among them, there is a tacit understanding and harmony, and you can know it when you hear it.There is no harmony between silk and bamboo, only the clear sound of bells ringing, it seems that another flower has bloomed from the bones and blood dust just now, just like the first opening of the Hongmeng, and the world is seen for the first time.Everything is about to start, but Cunxin is still ignorant.The moon is reflected in the water and the sky is in the water, it seems more and more like the end of time, sitting and watching the beginning of life.

Yanyue Qingxiao and other juniors, seeing the masters of the predecessors cultivated like this, are both admiring and ashamed, and they are reassured that they will seek excellence in their respective paths.Even Daiyu also benefited a lot from it-it turns out that this realm of life is not only about one thing or one thing, but a great harmony with the heart as the furnace.

Only GUI Liu could feel her heart from the expressions of several people, as if meeting a bosom friend in a foreign land, she was very excited.After the nuns finished the song, they returned to the table together with Rong Rong. When everyone came forward to toast and congratulate, she went crazy: "What should I do? Although I am not good, I should show a little That's the way to go." He said with a smile, and without waiting for the reaction of the crowd, he suddenly volleyed towards the long embankment in the lake.When Director Rong saw it, he exclaimed: "It's amazing, what a skill!"

A few words of exclamation hadn't finished yet, but there was a sound like a thunderbolt in the air, a burst of flames shot up into the sky, and huge fireworks burst out.Reflecting the lake below, one flower blooms in two, just like the other shore.

All of a sudden, everyone abandoned the tables and seats, leaned on the railing of the balcony, and looked up at her to put flowers.Suddenly, it looks like a swarm of golden bees, and it looks like a flower blooming with a hundred stamens.The colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, all of which are pure and bright, how can it be a common and habitual look?I was enjoying watching, but suddenly there was no sound, and I waited with bated breath, for a long while, there was no trace.Just when I was about to complain and doubt, I suddenly heard the sound of Bi Bo, and I saw countless fireworks blooming along the long embankment from far to near, one after another, the former has not yet extinguished, the latter has bloomed, straight to the sky Pull out a road of flowers, and another road connected to the lake, which stops for an inch of fragrance.It finally faded away, but there was still a halo of orchid around it, as if the aftertaste hadn't faded away.I was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Zhang let out a long sigh beforehand, and everyone gradually came back to their senses, and they hoarse their voices excitedly and started talking at once.Nanny Xin also nodded and said: "I've never seen such a method before, how could I have thought that it was a little girl like her? It's amazing." Rong Zhang also smiled and said: "Learning is endless, I will always remember it." The two looked at each other and smiled.

As soon as Guiliu jumped back to the balcony, she was surrounded by a group of maids. There were a hundred and eighty questions in her pocket, how could she answer them?Daiyu could only hear her smug laughter from time to time in the dense crowd, and she couldn't help but smile.

It was night when everyone had their best time and parted ways, but Daiyu still couldn't calm down, so she asked Gui Liu to sit with her in the east study and watch the moon for half a day.

Because I was crazy with music the day before, I rested at home for an extra day, and then sent a letter to Jia's mansion. In the next afternoon, I packed up my things and took my talents to Rongguo mansion.Before getting into the car, Xueyan murmured to herself: "When will I be able to live in my own home?" Daiyu listened, and stretched out her hand to caress the top of her head, but said nothing.

On the contrary, GUI Liu went to Guanshi Yin's place before leaving, but sent a jar of carnation wine instead.That's right, it is brewed by adding bamboo lees from carnations that Li Wan used to burn charcoal into the wine.The so-called precious materials come to be used as firewood, we just sigh in vain.

Guiliu gave this jar of wine because at the banquet, Guanshi Yin said that he had a nephew who was a real relative and nephew, and he wanted to take a jug out of his hands calmly.Easier said than done?Gui Liu took over this in private.Anyway, these wines are useless to her, and she doesn't like drinking them, and she doesn't have the talent to understand the Tao, so it's better to use them as favors.

When I arrived at Jia's mansion, I met Mrs. Jia Mu Wang and others, but didn't give Jia Mu a chance to complain, so Daiyu talked about the government affairs by herself: "I heard that because of the Spring Festival Gala this spring, the water flow in the river is different from previous years, and there are several places. Seeing the signs of a drought, there are several villages in our family that are not very good. If it is really hot, I really don’t know what to do.” Jiamu was taken over with a word, and she felt sorry for Daiyu when she was young. The head of the family worked hard, and said with emotion: "You girl is very vigilant. You should have made plans early." After saying that, he asked people to call Sister Feng and ask about the affairs of his own village. Come.

Sister Feng made it clear one by one, but she didn't see anything unusual.Mrs. Wang also laughed and said: "Our country has a large area, and it is really hard to find a year in which there is no disaster or harm throughout the year. Or there may be times when the eldest girl asks about several families that are not going well."

Jia Mu nodded: "I hope so. You are young, I don't know. One year, it was so hot that many mountains were withered and half bald. Many counties had no harvest, and many people fell down while walking on the road. Died. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people who died in the entire capital. Think about it, this is still under the feet of the emperor. It was so cold last winter, and the spring has already started, but it has been slow to warm up. This Fengshui connection is by no means a moment You really should pay more attention to it.”

Mrs. Wang was also shocked when she heard this. Now that the house is spending more and more money, it depends on those Zhuangzi to support it.If it is really a calamity year, it will be difficult to deal with every day and the earth will not work.On the one hand, I agreed with Jiamu's words, on the other hand, I thought about adding more sesame oil money to various temples and Taoist temples.

Although Sister Dufeng agreed, she didn't take it seriously.She thought to herself, now that the sea goods trade is so prosperous, and the boatloads of money are flowing in, even if there are some disasters, how can they be short of money to buy food?Besides, how big a disaster would it take to affect a family like the mansion?It's a bit unfounded to worry about it now that I haven't seen anything.

Yingchun opened her mouth at the side, and sighed softly, but she still didn't say anything.
