Min Anshi sat in the Mingzhi Library and casually flipped through the books in his hand. This time, he didn't have the smell of snail powder on his body, but other scholars, which caused the whole library to have a stench. Some The scholar who couldn't accept this kind of food simply covered his nose and read, his expression was quite gloomy, but since Min Anshi was the leader of this trend, no one dared to speak out against this kind of behavior, and some people were still waiting to rely on this kind of taste. , get Min Anshi's blue eyes!
When Tao Xiude came in, he couldn't help raising his hand to cover his nose, frowning tightly. He didn't like the smell. Of course, it was also because he had been busy reading recently and had no time to eat snail noodles.
"Elder Min." Tao Xiude bowed his hands in a salute, "Father asked me to pick you up for a banquet at Tao Mansion."
Min Anshi raised his head blankly, as if he had just noticed a person in front of him, and after looking carefully, he said, "So it was Tao's boy, take me to the banquet? Okay! What? Isn't it time for lunch? I thought I've eaten it all, aren't these people who have eaten in my library?"
Tao Xiude endured his disgust for the smell. He also heard about Min Anshi's preference for the smelly snail powder, but he couldn't understand it, but it didn't show on his face, he just said, "Maybe everyone eats it. Let's have breakfast!"
"Breakfast? It's not good to eat this for breakfast, you have to eat it lightly." Min Anshi nodded silently, "Besides, since it's breakfast, how come the smell has been preserved until now? It should be gone!"
"About There are more people who eat it!" Tao Xiude smiled, he even suspected that these people poured the soup on themselves, just to get the taste that Min Anshi likes.
"Do so many people like it?" Min Anshi frowned, looking a little puzzled.
The scholars next to him were ashamed and uneasy when they heard the conversation here, and also had some self-righteous pride, as if the next moment would attract Min Anshi's attention and move towards the peak of life.
"Could it be that everyone was poor when they were young and had a mother who saved enough to eat rotten food?" Min Anshi asked slowly.
Tao Xiude was stunned.
Min Anshi had already laughed lightly, with a look of nostalgia, "When I was young, my family was poor, my father died early, and it was all my mother's hard work to raise me and support me to study, but my mother was really a frugal person. On weekdays, you can't eat too much food. Mother would rather leave it to eat next time. If there is good food, she can't eat it all at once. If you leave it for one more day, you can have one more day, and it will be gone after eating. What's in the bowl is called "yes", and what's swallowed is called "wu", that's what my mother has always told me."
Tao Xiude listened blankly, he had never come into contact with such a thing before, and most of the scholars present were not familiar with it either. touched.
"Because of this, my family's food is often a little spoiled. I remember that at that time, a villager came back from digging bamboo shoots in the mountains. Seeing that our mother and son were alone, they gave us some, and my mother was reluctant to eat it, so let it go. It turned out to be a little spoiled. I remember the smell of bamboo shoots! It smells very similar to the snail noodles. As soon as I smell it, it reminds me of when I was a child, and when I taste it, I feel that I have eaten the food made by my deceased mother again. I really miss it!"
Min Anshi laughed, his expression full of tenderness.
"Old Min..." Tao Xiude didn't know what to say for a while. It turns out that Min Anshi likes snail noodles so much, and there is such a story behind it.
The other scholars blushed with shame. Elder Min liked snail noodles because of the sour bamboo shoots in them, so what was the stink of them all? It's nothing but a diligent, despicable villain! In this way, Mr. Min has achieved fame and glory throughout his life, and he has not changed his original intention until his twilight years. He still remembers the taste of the food cooked by his mother when he was poor in his childhood. This is the real pure gentleman!
Min Anshi seemed to be well aware of the purpose of the stink among the readers in this library, so he did not continue to ask questions, nor did he humiliate or blame others. He just got up with a smile, "Let's go!" Like a breeze, he left gracefully.
After Tao Xiude left behind Min Anshi, in the library, everyone looked at each other, each of them was ashamed, and their respect for Min Anshi was even higher. Mr. Min actually knew the purpose of their stink! It's just that he didn't say that he didn't know how to save face for them. Today, through the dialogue with the Tao family son, he specially directed them, but he didn't blame them.
Everyone couldn't tell the taste in their hearts for a while, and a few people with a smelly body quickly covered their faces and left.
In the corner, Master Liu continued to read with the book in his hand. The smell on his body was there, but it was impossible to leave. He didn't come here for Min Anshi, so why should he leave in shame? He read the book for his few disciples so he could go back and explain it to them. As for the snail noodles, he also likes to eat them! The taste of body dye is also normal. Although there is no story like Min Anshi, how can there be so many reasons for people who love to eat? ! Master Liu silently turned a page and continued to immerse himself in the world of his book.
Shock! There is such a story behind Min Mingshi's love of snail noodles! People in the streets and alleys talked a lot, and there was more talk after a meal. When the parents of the child beat and scolded the child, they shouted, 'If you have Min Anshi's filial piety, I would be willing to die immediately! '
Du Qingchen was a little surprised when he heard the news. Who would have thought that the snail powder he made could have such a relationship, but since Min Anshi likes sour bamboo shoots, he also heard the news, and maybe he can find a reason to visit. Of course, he only intends to let Du Rulin go, after all, Du Rulin needs to study.
Du Qingchen wrote down the recipe for making sour bamboo shoots and snail noodles, gave it to Du Rulin, and prepared a gift box before asking Du Rulin to visit Min Mansion. It is too cold and mixed, it is better to send it directly, it is also solemn and precious.
Du Qingchen sent Du Rulin to the carriage and asked, "Is the thing you want to ask ready?"
Du Rulin took out a stack of papers from the sleeve of the Confucian robe and said, "It's all here." Du Rulin took out a stack of articles he wrote, all of which Master Liu had read but could not judge and revise, and some in his heart. Doubts are beyond the scope of Master Liu's knowledge. In short, with so many gifts, you have to ask for advice before you can get it back.
Du Qingchen nodded, and then instructed: "Be more respectful, lest he be bothered and not willing to explain to you."
"Understood, brother, don't worry!" Du Rulin said with a smile.
Du Rulin visited Min Mansion. Outside the mansion, Du Rulin bowed his hands to the concierge, "Boy Du Rulin, see Mr. Min." The
concierge looked puzzled and blocked the door, "Do you have a letter of worship?" Whoever wants to see it can see it!
Du Rulin was not panicked or embarrassed at all, and instead said, "I heard that Mr. Min likes sour bamboo shoots, and this kid brought a recipe of snail powder and sour bamboo shoots, and wants to serve it to Mr. Min."
The concierge also heard about this. , He hesitated for a while, although the rule in his house is that no one without a post of worship and no official status can enter, but what if the master likes this? After all, there is a lot of rumors outside, saying that the master thinks that the sour bamboo shoots taste like his mother made it, this is a recipe! If he stopped it, it would not be very good. The concierge did not think for a long time before making a decision and said, "You wait here first, and I will ask the master."
"Please pass this on to Elder Min." Du Rulin He took out the article in his sleeve and handed it over, "If Mr. Min asks, you can answer that I came to study." The
concierge did not hesitate, and took it directly. Ninety percent of the people who came to visit came to study. It's not surprising, it's strange to bring the recipe as a gift. The porter said, "Wait a moment." He closed the door and went back to report.
Du Rulin didn't wait long before the door opened again, and the doorman said with a smile, "Master, please."
Only then did Du Rulin get a little nervous, secretly swallowed his saliva, and walked in.
In the room, Min Anshi'an was sitting on the soft slump and was reading the article handed by Du Rulin. When he saw Du Rulin coming in, he smiled and asked the servant to bring a chair for Du Rulin. Du Rulin couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it and sit upright. On the stool, he quietly waited for Min Anshi to read his article.
"It's well written, but it's still a long way off. Are you planning to take the exam this year?" Min Anshi said with a smile, slightly surprised by Du Rulin's age. He is already a scholar, and he is a good reader.
Du Rulin said respectfully, "The boy is planning to take the exam this year, but now he's just a child."
Min Anshi nodded knowingly, "No wonder I haven't seen you in the library, when did you pass the exam?
" Du Rulin said reservedly, he said this on purpose, so that Min Anshi would look at him highly, maybe he would love talents, and he would explain the difficulties to him seriously.
Min Anshi nodded, noncommittal, but put down the article in his hand, "Where did you get the recipe? Shouldn't this be the secret of the shop? If the origin is unknown, I will turn you over to the government today and sue you for stealing. It's a crime." Min Anshi deliberately put on a serious look, Du Rulin was young and had never seen anything in the world, Min Anshi felt that being frightened by him like this might reveal his true temperament.
Du Rulin handed over his hands and said gently, "Old Min Mingjian, this is my recipe. The sour bamboo shoots and snail noodles were created by my brother. The restaurant on the street is also my family's. It was my brother who saw that I worked hard to prepare for the exam. It's difficult but difficult to solve, so I asked me to take these recipes and ask Elder Min for guidance." Du Rulin got up and bowed respectfully.
Min Anshi nodded, with a smile on his face, "So that's the case, if you bought the recipe with a lot of money or obtained it by other bad means to bet on my favor, at this moment, you will have to be kicked out. I don't like those who work hard."
Du Rulin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come here, sit on this side." Min Anshi patted his side, and Du Rulin hurried forward.
It wasn't until dinner time that Du Rulin realized that it was already very late, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but was left behind by Min Anshi, "Stay and accompany me to have a meal! There is no one on weekdays, only I am alone, today It's rare
to be more lively." Du Rulin respectfully responded, Min Anshi probably liked him a lot, and he even kept him for dinner, Du Rulin thought to himself.
The old servant placed the food in the living room, and Du Rulin sat in the lower seat. After spending an afternoon with Du Rulin, Min Anshi seemed to think that he was a good person. He always looked at him with satisfaction, even though Du Rulin kept telling himself to be prudent, Can't help but feel happy.
"Who is there in your family?" Min Anshi asked casually.
Du Rulin replied immediately. Father Du, brother, and sister-in-law spoke almost all at once. Min Anshi nodded, "Are you from Pingxing County?"
"Yes." He just ate a few plates in front of him, and was all focused on the conversation with Min Anshi. "I vaguely remember that a few years ago... Ninghou 's mansion
retrieved their child from Pingxing County, and now the one named Ning Nuan grew up in your county." Du Rulin paused, slowly
Tun Tun said: "When he was in Pingxing County, his original name was Su Nuan, and he was my sister-in-law's... brother."
"Family? Or the same village?" Min Anshi asked in surprise.
"It was a family."
A good one was! Min Anshi smiled, "Are they not on good terms?"
"It's not bad. Listen to my sister-in-law, he and Ning Nuan have a good relationship." Du Rulin spoke slowly, so that he could think over every word he said several times, so as not to make a mistake, since Su Nuan He was already the elder brother of the Hou Mansion, and even if the Su family had resentment against him, he shouldn't mention it in front of Min Anshi at this moment, he could only say good things.
"I also think it should be a good relationship! After all, Ning Nuan is now suing the imperial court and suing Ninghou. Speaking of which, his relatives are the only people he knew when he was in Pingxing County." Min Anshi smiled.
"Sue... sue the imperial court?!" Still sue the Houfu? Isn't that his house? ! Du Rulin lost his temper, and opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
"Yes, the matter was not over when I left Beijing. I only heard that it was to avenge my biological mother, and I wanted to sue Mrs. Ninghou, but I don't know what happened, and in the end, even the Hou Mansion sued."
"He How could he sue and win..." No one would sue their own family! Moreover, after leaving the Hou Mansion, Su Nuan is nothing but a commoner, so why sue the imperial court? Also sued Houfu! Du Rulin always felt incredible.
"It's not necessarily that he won't win. With Marshal Qi to help him, and he has evidence that Mrs. Ninghou poisoned his biological mother, the court still has a law. It's just... If a son sues his father, he will be punished for thirty first, but he is in good health. When I came back, he had already been raised, and he was fighting a lawsuit! You don't think he is a brother, but his temper is like a gun battle. I once saw him standing on the way to the court. Pointing at Mrs. Ninghou's sedan chair on the street and scolding, the word is vulgar, making Mrs. Ninghou dizzy, and Marshal Qi is standing behind to support... Oh, I shouldn't tell you this, after all, it's your sister-in-law Brother, speaking of it, it's not easy for you, how is your sister-in-law on weekdays? Will it affect your studies?"
"I..." Du Rulin seemed to be listening to a book from heaven. He didn't even dare to think about such a thing, but when he heard Min Anshi When asked, Du Rulin said immediately, "No! My sister-in-law is gentle and pure, and has an excellent personality. She has been married to my family for a year, and she has never blushed or quarreled with my family, not even speaking aloud."
Min Anshi chuckled, "It's amazing, people who grew up together can have so many different personalities."
Maybe, one was raised freely, and the other was raised with care, so there is such a difference! Du Rulin thought to himself.
After the meal, Du Rulin also left, and Min Anshi prepared a return gift for him. Du Rulin refused several times, but he could only accept it before leaving.
The old servant sent Du Rulin to go out, turned around, returned to the living room, and bowed respectfully to Min Anshi.
"Are they gone?" Min Anshi asked while leaning on the soft slump.
"I've already gone back."
"Where's the recipe?"
"According to the master's intention, it was stuffed into the return gift. The master has a noble character and is a great scholar in the world. How could he covet his recipe?!"
Min Anshi chuckled lightly, " But people are interesting, agile and eager to learn, and they can be made!"
"If the master likes it, why not accept it as a disciple? If the master teaches, in the future, he will be able to go to high school and add glory to the master."
"It's just a boy, if He can get into the top three in the exam this time, and it's not too late to plan." The district Tongsheng, even if the ranking is higher, he can't see in his eyes, only if the scholar is above, can he enter the officialdom and be useful to him, don't be in a hurry for a while.
The old servant hesitated for a while, "Master seems to still have something on his mind? Could it be that he is thinking about the relationship between the brother of Ninghou and his family?"
Min Anshi sat up and said, "It's so coincidental that Ning Nuan's former brother is this young man. My sister-in-law!"
"But... Ning Nuan is now suing the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid that he will not be able to protect himself." The old servant hesitated.
"I can't protect myself? I can't see it. With Qi Cheng helping him, I think he is very safe! It seems that he is suing his biological father to avenge his mother, but it is actually Qi Cheng and Ning Hou fighting in the arena. After that, the essence is even more serious. It's the third prince and the fifth prince wrestling."
"Then, how are you going, sir?"
"No hurry, take your time." Min Anshi smiled.
