Chapter 35: So beautiful
Li Zijun quickly sorted out her clothes and walked out with big strides.
If the county master came, as one of the few scholars in the village, he would definitely need to go there to accompany him. Liu Gong was all good, but he was not well-versed in poetry and books. If he wanted to accompany the county master well, he would have to rely on himself.
Li Zijun left the house and immediately saw... A brown, wide carriage parked in front of the Gu family. Many people were surrounded by the slightly mottled and old courtyard gate. Not far away, Liu Gong and several local big-name households arrived in a hurry.
He paused, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
Why does the county priest seem to have gone to the Gu family?
In his mind, he thought of the county government asking Gu Xiang to become a chef with Yongyi Army, but this thought flashed and he still never linked the county magistrate to Gu Xiang.
How could a person like a chef who is not good at the countertop have to be involved in such a big shot? I am afraid that even the county magistrate can't remember who Gu Xiang is.
It was probably for the purpose of building the river bank. The Gu family was doing such rough work, and they had some tricks.
Li Zijun hesitated for a while, then continued to move forward. As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard the yamen runner standing at the door shouting: "Stop, what are you doing?"
The bright knife was half-sheathed, and the coldness hit her face. Li Zijun was scared and sweated in cold sweat. She smiled and shouted in front of her face: "Mr. Liu, student Li Zijun, I heard that the county master has arrived in our Guzhuang, so I will come to visit..."
Liu Chuanfu blinked: "Students from the county school?"
Li Zijun's face turned red. Although he felt that his talent was enough to enter the county, others did not have the vision and refused to recommend it.
Without waiting for Li Zijun to speak again, others no longer cared about him. Footsteps and laughter from Magistrate Wang came from the yard: "San Niang, don't be polite to that person. For the third lady's skill, this pickled vegetables should be worth it, not to mention eighty-centered one jar, two hundred-centered one jar is worth it."
Several yamen runners and Lao Gou moved out with three pitch-black pots. Magistrate Wang walked a few steps and helped open the car door. Looking back, he smiled at Gu Xiang, who was slightly helpless on his face, and told Lao Gou and Afeng to move things down.
In addition to various desserts and wines, there are bright and colorful cloth and silk.
Gu Xiang walked out of the yard and never looked at Li Zijun. He raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows: "Why do you bring so many things?"
"It's all given by others during festivals. The color is so bright, which is what you young women like. My wife is not there, so it's useless to keep it."
The things on the car were cleaned. Magistrate Wang personally looked at the three pots that Gu had moved out of Gu's family, and turned to Gu Xiang and smiled: "I agreed that one jar is 80 ounces, and I will leave the remaining six jars for me."
"Your surnamed Wang is so beautiful that you give it to you. You are not afraid of losing your heart!"
Zhou County Magistrate was riding a horse leisurely. As soon as he turned the corner, he heard the voice of Magistrate Wang. He immediately rode his horse and rushed straight to the door of Gu's family, "San Madam, you can't give it to Lao Wang, leave half of it for me first."
He glared at Magistrate Wang, turned to look at Gu Xiang and Gu Laoshi who followed him out, and County Magistrate Zhou tried to show a gentle smile on his stiff face.
"Brother Xian is polite and comes to visit him. I hope you can forgive me. It's really because I don't have a good appetite recently, and I'm the only lady who makes this pickled vegetable."
Magistrate Wang: "Ha!"
Both of them took office but neither of them brought their families with them.
Gu Hushi: "..."
Since he was born, the biggest official he had ever seen was Li Zheng, and he was really frightened at this moment.
Gu Xiang was also shocked by these two people: "I have kept a few jars in the Huotou Camp... Forget it, I will go back to the Huotou Camp in a few days. If you two like pickling vegetables, I will pickle a few more jars at that time."
She is not in the kitchen, so Lao Du and the others may not be willing to take out the pickled vegetables for everyone to eat.
Magistrate Wang smiled: "I am not like Lao Zhou, I am just greedy. I am here to see Brother Gu Xian this time. Brother Xian, that's right. I have a little nephew in my family. I just won the scholar last year and am now twenty-five years old..."
Gu Xiang: "Cough cough."
Magistrate Wang hesitated and stopped and said with a smirk: "Yes, my nephew is a little older, but he is such a good child. The reason why he is a scholar is because his elders passed away one after another in the past few years. This has delayed some time. In terms of talent and learning, I will be a guarantee, and there is no problem."
Gu Hushi: "..."
Zhou County Wei just took the local etiquette he brought from the horse, looked at Magistrate Wang, and said, "I don't know how many years it will take for the scholar to be named on the list. If I ask me, it is better to find a family with a wealthy family, a mother-in-law, and a kind mother-in-law, and can accommodate the third wife's freedom. I have a nephew..."
The villagers watching outside were all stunned. There was also the landlord Gu Zhuang, Liu Chuanfu, who looked at Gu Laoshi's honest face and sighed in his heart that it was indeed the old saying that only a fool can be blessed.
Li Zijun was stiff all over and felt at a loss.
Gu Xiang reached out and held his forehead: "...I just tried to make some instant noodles. If it's fine, it might be used as military rations. I wonder if you two might give some advice to the little girl?"
The two immediately forgot their nephews and nephews.
Gu Xiang smiled, looked at the clan elder who accompanied Liu Chuanfu and Liu, and said politely: "Grandpa Liu, second uncle and third uncle, please come in quickly."
When she was cooking yesterday, she pulled a bunch of thin noodles. She got up early in the morning and steamed them and dried them and fryed them. In addition to the irregular appearance, some of them were large and small, and some of them were gray in color, they were no different from modern ones. In terms of taste, they were even better.
He picked up a few pieces of bread with chopsticks and threw them into the boiled water pot. Gu Xiang took out a few eggs and knocked them in, and then scooped in a spoonful of sauce. In an instant, the strong fragrance filled up. Wuro couldn't help but snatch the kitchen window and swallowed his saliva.
Gu Xiang smiled. The cooking was so fast that she could just serve a bowl of it, even her portion.
The noodles are full of strength, and the taste of the soup is even more greasy and fragrant. Gu Xiang feels that when she was a luxury product, she has never tasted such a good taste.
Magistrate Wang and Zhou Wei squatted shoulder to shoulder at the kitchen door, stuffing noodles into their mouths, sweating profusely and unable to bear to look up.
Liu Chuanfu and the Gu family refused to give up on the opportunity to get close to the county magistrate. They all lifted up their robes seriously and squatted on the spot.
However, as soon as the noodles were put in, the group had forgotten their original purpose and only focused on hard work.
Gu Laoshi held the bowl and looked at the stone table and benches in the shade of the trees not far away, and squatted down silently... Now when he went to the table to eat, he seemed very out of place.
A bunch of people were eating well, and someone knocked on the door outside. Gu Xiang held down his father and got up to open the door.
Li Sheng was carrying a wooden box and stood outside in a regular manner: "Today, the village in Beijing sent some local customs. The prince couldn't use it, so he divided the soldiers in the army. This was from the third lady, and the young one happened to pass by, so he brought it to you."
