- Chapter 36 I¡¯m so anxious
If calculated according to seniority, Li Yuan is Li Xiaozong¡¯s nephew. However, on the surface, a large family may appear to have a strict hierarchy and clear system, but in fact, it is also a mess on the inside. When the old man of the Li family was almost eighty years old, he married a fourteen-year-old girl who was as beautiful as a flower. Two years later, the little girl gave birth to a son. Don't say that even the old man himself didn't believe it, so he shed blood to recognize his relatives. If the child was not his, let alone the child, even the child's mother would probably sink into the river.
The strange thing is that after the bloody confession, the child turned out to be really his. The old man was overjoyed and held a banquet for three days. This incident not only proves that the old lady of the Li family is very powerful, but also proves that the family is really in fucking chaos. The old man is the father of Li Luan, the grandfather of General Li Yuanshan of You Xiaowei, the grandfather of Li Xiaozong, the general of the border city, and the grandfather of Li Yuan.
The old man of the Li family has lived for more than ninety years. Although the teenage boy is Li Yuan's grandpa by generation, he has no status at all because he is a commoner. The three-day banquet was not so much a celebration of his birth as a celebration of the old man's continued glory.
But I don¡¯t know why, but that child looks very much like his eldest nephew
Li Xiaozong was also a commoner, so even if he had the military rank of a fifth-grade tooth general, he would have no status as long as he returned to the Li family compound.
Li Yuan is the direct grandson of Li Luan, although not the eldest son.
The Li family was the only one in Longxi County, so Li Yuan's domineering behavior was understandable. Xiangcheng Li is also a big tree if you look at the entire Sui Dynasty.
At the foot of Mu Mountain, Fang Jie had previously specifically ordered Da Quan to drive the carriage to a place far away from Hong Xiuzhao's camp, and also asked Mu Xiaoyao to spend the night there. Mu Xiaoyao's first sentence was to ask Fang Jie, where are you? What are you planning to do that is so outrageous? Fang Jie said solemnly that this time he was doing justice for heaven, but Mu Xiaoyao said that this was something new and I couldn't leave, I had to stay and see.
Mu Xiaoyao said he wanted to stay. No one, Fang Jie or Big Dog, had a bad temper.
So Mu Xiaoyao was still sleeping in the carriage, while Big Dog reluctantly squatted aside and planned to skin the deer he had hunted. He rarely does this himself, even though he is a carnal person. Whenever Fang Jie asked him to do it himself, he would always say that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, but he could never see anything like a gentleman in him.
He loves to eat meat, but he will never cook for himself unless he has to.
¡°I don¡¯t know if there is any secret hidden behind his meaningless persistence. Fang Jie has tried it before but found nothing.
So when Fang Jie took Li Yuan, Cui Luoshang and others back to the carriage, the big dog was still worried about several dead game animals. There was an iron pot in front of him, and the water in the pot had already boiled, but the pheasant lay motionless on one side, and the two deer were still hanging on the branches of the tree on the side.
When Fang Jie came back and saw this, he pretended to be angry and cursed a few words, then smiled and asked Li Yuan and others to wait while he personally plucked and skinned the game. Li Yuan and others would never interfere in such a vulgar matter. Even when they saw Fang Jie throwing the pheasant into the boiling water and scalding it skillfully with his hands and feet, and then throwing a deer on the ground and peeling it off with a sharp knife, everyone's eyes showed a strong sense of disdain and contempt.
"A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and a child of a noble family will naturally not get involved in such vulgar and disgusting things. Even Cui Luoshang felt uncomfortable after watching it for a while, so he simply pulled Li Yuan and others up a high slope to watch the night mountain scenery. Li Yuan and Cui Lueshang were chatting and laughing, and winked at Liu Yineng, who was short, thin and ugly. This man was notorious in Xiangcheng. He peeped at women bathing at the age of five, kicked in the widow's door at the age of nine, and already had sex at the age of twelve. The guy who slept with all the maids around him, and slept with all the women in Xiangcheng brothels at the age of seventeen, including the old madam, immediately turned around and went back, holding a bag of low-quality poison from Jianghuxiasanmen in his hand.
Originally they planned to cripple Cui Lueshang, but now that Fang Jie suddenly appeared as a scapegoat, they naturally became more unscrupulous. Even if Cui Lueshang was poisoned to death, they only needed to blame Fang Jie for a man who was seeking wealth and killing people in the wilderness. With the story, could it be possible that those government officials, detectives, and even county magistrates and guards in Xiangcheng City would really investigate carefully and offend the Li family and the Liu family?
The power of the Cui family in Xiangcheng is far inferior to that of the Li family and the Liu family, so this matter is not a big deal in the eyes of Li Yuan and Liu Yineng. But one of them is insidious and the other is vicious. They both think they are smart but forget to consider that in the first two admissions to the martial arts academy, Hexi Province Governor Yang Xiuchen recommended people from the Li family. Why did they choose to be in Longxi this time? Is it the Cui family from a second-rate family?
People who are arrogant to the extreme are stupid.
Just two months ago, His Majesty the Emperor promoted Concubine Cui to a noble concubine.
The poison in Liu Yineng's hand is not a good thing at all, not Sanxiaotang.The exquisite product is not Guiweizi's seven-step poison, nor is it the hundred-flower poison of that crazy woman in Lingyan Valley. It's just a bottle of Xiasanduo poison bought from a gangster. Normal money can buy ten bottles.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the question, it can kill people, but it is unambiguous.
The big dog sitting on the side boiling water raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but curse something dirty in a low voice. Then he felt sorry for himself and said that it was not a good thing that his nose was too good. The smell of this poison-breaking medicine was so damn unpleasant.
Liu Yineng pretended to watch Fang Jie skin the deer, and then secretly sprinkled the bag of poison into the iron pot while blocking the big dog's view. The water in the pot suddenly crackled and exploded several times. The big dog couldn't help but lament in his heart that it's really hard for you to poison such garbage, and then deliberately turned his head to look away and pretended not to notice.
" Such despicable methods made Fang Jie unable to help but twitch the corner of his mouth and scolded every member of Liu Yineng's eighteen generations three times in his heart. But there was absolutely no greeting to any of Liu Yineng's female relatives. The reason was simple. Liu Yineng was too ugly, and Fang Jie really had no desire for such a person on his maternal side.
The two people who were poisoned still needed to pretend to turn a blind eye, and Fang Jie was really worried about this young man who was dominating Xiangcheng City. Such methods only work here in Xiangcheng, and they will always be the tail behind Li Yuan. If one had come to the imperial capital and met someone from a truly wealthy family, he would have been beaten to death by them long ago and no one would even be left with nothing left.
The poisoned Liu Yineng turned around and left, satisfied.
Da Quan glanced at the pot of foam and asked Fang Jie: "What should I do? Has this idiot never seen water boiling? This damn water is as thick as porridge. "
Fang Jie was helpless and stood up, took a wooden ladle and scooped out the foam from the boiling water bit by bit: "Don't blame others, amateurs are still amateurs after all."
¡¡
¡¡
Pheasants need boiling water to remove their feathers, and deer must be washed in water after skinning. So when these two things come into contact with water, they are both poisonous. This is what the big dog can't tolerate the most, and he doesn't know how many times he has scolded Liu Yineng's eight generations of ancestors. He can tolerate the waste of anything, but he can hardly accept the waste of meat.
If Fang Jie hadn¡¯t repeatedly said that he would take him to the best restaurants and the best banquets when he entered the imperial capital, Big Dog might have quit working immediately.
So while he was grateful to have encountered a pig-like opponent, Fang Jie also lamented that he had to be careful to beware of pig-like teammates. Oh no, they are teammates who are like dogs.
After more than half an hour, which felt a bit torturous, Fang Jie was finally ready to entertain the distinguished guests with wine and meat. When the roasted meat was cut and put on the table, both Li Yuan and Fang Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°Where¡¯s the wine?¡±
When Fang Jie saw that the big dog who had gone to fetch wine from the carriage had not returned yet, he pretended to be unhappy and shouted: "You are taking such a long time to fetch some wine. Do you think I paid you too much? Wait." I¡¯ll hire someone smarter in Chang¡¯an City, you¡¯re old and stupid and will be of no use at all!¡±
Li Yuan, Cui Lueshang and others subconsciously looked at the carriage, only to see it shaking violently. Even the horse pulling the carriage seemed to be frightened and almost ran forward. Cui Lueshang was horrified when he saw it, and couldn't help but ask Fang Jie: "Why is your wine hidden in the iron box and locked? There is such a big movement to get the wine!"
Fang Jie then realized something and couldn't help but pray a few words for Big Dog in his heart.
At this moment, the big dog flopped out of the carriage and landed on its face.
He struggled to stand up, carrying two wine bags and walked crookedly this way. He had a black eye, and half of the corners of his mouth were swollen. As he walked, he muttered: "Getting wine you think it's that easy?" "
Fang Jie rushed over, took the wine bag and said with a smile: "This old guy likes to steal my wine, so he keeps it secret."
The big dog snorted and turned around and walked to the side of the carriage. He sat down against a tree and rubbed the corners of his sore mouth and cursed in a low voice: "Mu Xiaoyao I just want to take two bags of wine from you. As for being so cruel, ?¡±
Fortunately, his voice was very low and Li Yuan and others couldn't hear him.
Fang Jie filled the cups with his own hands for Li Yuan, Cui Lueshang and others, and said with a smile: "This servant is hired from the countryside. He has never seen much of the world. Don't be surprised by the young masters. But this wine is good. Since then, You can only buy it in Fangu, a border town.¡±
Cui Lueshang picked up the wine glass and smelled it, and couldn't help but praise: "The wine is fragrant, it is indeed a good wine. You can tell without using it that this wine has been stored for at least three to five years."
Li Yuan is also a good drinker and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a sip.
"It's really good. Although it's not as good as our Longtan wine in Xiangcheng, it's still a rare wine. I didn't expect that such a good wine could be produced in a cold and remote place like Fangu. It's rare."
??"The wine is good, and Brother Shang's craftsmanship is even better!"
Li Yuan pointed to the barbecue in front of him and praised: "It's golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."
"Try it?"
Fang Jie quickly said: "Let's see if it still tastes good?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Liu Yineng saw him from the side and said quickly: "Brother Shang is the host today, and we are the guests. How can the host not eat before the guests eat first? You eat first, and we will eat later."
Fang Jiefang put down the chopsticks he had already picked up and said seriously: "No, no, it's just because I am the master today and the young masters are the guests. How can there be any reason for the guests not to eat the host himself? I think Mr. Li is highly virtuous and highly respected. Mr. Li will be the guest today." Use the first chopstick first, otherwise the dishes will get cold while everyone is passing by."
Li Yuan quickly waved his hand and said: "We are only able to eat such delicious food because of Mr. Cui. How about letting Mr. Cui use the chopsticks first?"
Cui Lueshang is a practical person. He thought about it and said, "Then I'll eat first."
"Wait!"
Fang Jie stopped him and said, "Our Sui Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we cannot lose etiquette. Let's talk about our ages, and whoever is the oldest will eat first."
Cui Lueshang smiled and said: "That's good!"
Li Yuan¡¯s face turned pale, and he looked at the people around him, but he was the oldest: ¡°This is not good the older ones will naturally let the younger ones eat first. This is the virtue advocated by the Sui Dynasty.¡±
"Right!"
Cui Lueshang said: "Brother Shang, you must be the youngest, so you should eat first."
"No, Mr. Li should eat first"
"Brother Shang eats first"
"Master Li eats first"
"Brother Shang eats first"
We couldn¡¯t stop arguing, and even after giving in more than a dozen times, no one would eat first. In the end, I couldn't think of any words to say no, but no one was willing to use chopsticks first.
At this moment, a fragrant wind suddenly drifted over, followed by a red shadow blocking the view. When everyone was stunned, they saw a beautiful woman in a red dress pushing Li Yuan to the ground, pinching Li Yuan's mouth open with one hand, and picking up a plate with the other hand and pouring it into Li Yuan's mouth!
"Damn it! I'm so anxious!"
Mu Xiaoyao cursed and glared at Fang Jie fiercely. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
