Gu Nanxi, who was far away in Yunzhou, closed the door of the governor's house to isolate himself from the disturbances outside, and he could live in peace in the house.
Lu Mei felt sorry for her master who had been wronged so much that she personally cooked some dishes for Gu Nanxi.
Three kidneys with wine and vinegar, fried frog in paste, raw tofu in Baiyi soup, and fried lamb in wine.
The smell of delicious food passed into Gu Nanxi's nose, tempting her to get up from the warm fire bed.
"Lu Mei, have you made something delicious?"
Lu Mei dressed up Gu Nanxi and ran outside, then asked the people to bring in the delicious food.
"Master, for more than a year, you have had three meals a day, and I have been wronged!"
Only then did Lumei remember that when her master was in Kyoto, although he was not very particular, When it comes to eating and drinking, she is not like other high-ranking ladies who never tire of fine food or fine meat, but the food is still better than in Yunzhou!
It is difficult for my master to live such a hard life in Yunzhou without saying a word.
Lu Mei sniffed, her eyes red, blaming herself.
Gu Nanxi was almost crying!
Lu Mei’s craftsmanship is top notch in the entire Yongchang Hou Mansion!
When she was in the Hou Mansion, she would cook a dish when she had nothing to do.
After following him to Yunzhou, Lu Mei ran around all day long, and naturally he had no time to mess around with things in the kitchen.
Gu Nanxi was too embarrassed to open her mouth. She had been busy with her all day and had to cook.
Gu Nanxi picked up a chopstick and fried sheep with wine. The sheep from Yunzhou were probably raised on the grassland, so the meat was much fatter and tenderer than the ones from Kyoto.
This wine-fried lamb has the fragrance of fruit wine, which leaves a lingering aroma in your lips and teeth after eating it.
Gu Nanxi's movements became faster and faster, and in the end she was almost devouring her food.
Seeing this scene, Lu Mei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took out the incense burner that was almost dusty, put in the fine charcoal ash, took the special incense chopsticks, opened a small hole, and put it in Cover with silver foil to insulate, and finally put in the small fragrant balls brought from Kyoto.
The familiar aroma spreads and permeates the whole house.
Gu Nanxi was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the leisurely time she spent at the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Gu Nanxi looked a little confused, then she clapped her hands and said, "I said something was missing. It turned out that the morning bell of the temple was missing!"
In Kyoto, every day At four o'clock in the morning, the temple in the mountain will ring the morning bell.
The monks will also announce the dawn along the street.
At that time, officials will get up, business people will open their doors to welcome guests, and pork and mutton shops will also welcome the pigs and sheep that farmers have driven from the countryside early in the morning.
In addition, monks not only tell the time, but also make weather forecasts, such as sunny weather, rainy weather, cloudy weather, etc.
Gu Nanxi has been in Yunzhou for so long that she wakes up earlier than the fourth watch every day and forgets about it.
"Master, do you want to hire some watchmen?" Lu Mei was very happy to see Gu Nanxi's interest.
Gu Nanxi naturally shook her head: "Why waste all that money? In Kyoto, when you meet these monks early in the morning, they all need alms. We in Yunzhou are still very poor, so there is no need to spend this money."< br>
Seeing Gu Nanxi’s refusal, Lu Mei did not insist. The busy days have been too long, and I suddenly feel free. I don’t know what to do for a while.
Lu Mei was worried that Gu Nanxi was bored, so after Gu Nanxi finished her meal, she took out the shuttlecock and said, "Master, do you want to kick the shuttlecock?"
Gu Nanxi rubbed her bulging belly and threw herself on the fire bed. As soon as he lay down: "No, if you like it, just kick it."
Lv Mei had no choice but to put away the shuttlecock, took out the embroidery, and planned to sew a sachet for Gu Nanxi.
Since coming to Yunzhou, the master’s life has been too rough, and he no longer smells good!
Gu Nanxi was lying peacefully, embroidering green plums very seriously. In a blink of an eye, most of the day had passed. Lu Mei looked up out of the window and found that the sun was heading west, and it was actually time for afternoon tea.
Lu Mei then hurried to the kitchen, chatted for a while, and brought out a plate of crispy walnuts and sugar-frosted jade bee'er.
Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty loves sweets, especially candied fruits, but Gu Nanxi is not used to such sweetness, so Lvmei uses less sugar when making desserts.
At this moment, Gu Nanxi didn’t even get off the fire bed. She asked someone to bring the Kang table, a sip of dessert and a sip of tea. It was delicious. This life was like a fairy!
"Why do you look so sad?" Gu Nanxi was pleased with herself, but found that Lu Mei was about to cry.
Lu Mei calmed down her emotions and forced out an ugly smile: "It's okay, I just feel sorry for the master."
I feel sorry for the master. He only spends his days with fine clothes and food, and comes to Yunzhou to work hard.
I feel sorry for the master who has paid so much, yet still has to issue a confession!
Gu Nanxi was helpless. She couldn't tell Lu Mei that the injustice in the eyes of others was because she was happy with it.
This is a full two months of paid leave!
It’s winter, where can I go to play even if I go out? It is better to stay at home, with clothes on hand and food on hand.
"Stop crying, your master's life is wonderful."
Lu Mei wiped her tears and didn't believe this.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Lu Mei went out and saw that it was Abu Riji from the Haoriqin tribe.
Abrizji held a furry in his arms, stuffed the furry into Lumei's arms, said a few words and ran away.
"I heard that Han people like to keep pets. We caught this specially, hoping to bring joy to the general."
Lu Mei returned to the main house holding the furry animal.
"What is this?" Gu Nanxi looked curiously and saw the furry one in the green plum blossom, tilting its head and looking at herself curiously.
Lu Mei said funnyly: "It should be a raccoon slave. Abu Riji and the others don't know where they heard it. Knowing that we Han people like raccoon slaves, they sent one to you."
< br>In fact, in the eyes of the Zhou people, the number one cat should be called a lion cat. It has long hair and is white and yellow. It cannot catch mice, but it is good-looking and is liked by many high-ranking nobles.
Although this raccoon slave is not a lion cat, it is still the heart of the Haoriqin tribe.
“Master, give it a name.”
Gu Nanxi glanced at the colorful kitten and said, “Just call it Little Flower.”
… …
After Aburiji returned to the tribe, he was surrounded by the tribe and Hass.
"Have the lynx been sent over? Does the general like it?"
"Is the general in good spirits?"
"Does the general resent us?"
Abu Riji replied one by one: "The lynx sent it, the general must like it. I didn’t see the general, I only saw the green plum girl. The general’s heart is broader than the sky and wider than the sea, and of course he won’t resent us.”
After sending away the other tribesmen, Aburiji asked the leader. Haas: "Chief, does the general really like lynx?"
Haas was very sure: "Of course! I heard Boss Li say that the nobles in Kyoto like to raise beasts like horses, elephants, lions, and tigers! The general will naturally like lynxes!"
Abu Riji thinks the leader is right!
Lynx are ferocious beasts that can hunt reindeer! An adult bobcat is more than one meter long, as big as a child!
Only such a lynx can be worthy of a general!
How can those cats who can’t even catch mice be qualified to appear in front of the general? ! (End of chapter)
