After Mo Ye left Diecuiguan, he had already collected the baggage worth thousands of gold and dendrobium beads when he left. After the captain of the guard Ying repaid his kindness, Shen Zangfeng had to worry about other things, so he took He and others on the trip. Play with mountains and rivers.
He was just asked to watch, and he would never go to any place that might be infiltrated by Di people.
Not long after Baima's lesson had passed, Wei Changying was still secretly shocked and happy when he recalled the scene at that time. He would never disobey He and others again.
I just went out to play all day long, but this day suddenly stopped. Early in the morning, he sent someone to bring Mr. He over and said with emotion on his face: "I have something to trouble my aunt."
Madam He first laughed and said, "Why are you so polite with me, Madam?" Then she said cautiously, "What do you want me to do with you, madam?"
"Then Shangguan will come to the other courtyard for a banquet tomorrow evening. According to my husband, he eats a light diet and doesn't like meat and fish. Our original cook may not be able to cook his favorite dishes. We have to ask my aunt to cook in person to show off her skills. "Both Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying have learned martial arts. People who practice martial arts consume a lot of money, so their diet naturally focuses on fish and meat. Light side dishes are all used together.
The cooks they use are of course better at cooking meat and fish dishes.
He was originally prepared to go through fire and water for the Chief of Guard Ying. After hearing this, he paused for a moment and then replied with a smile: "My maid thought it was some difficult errand, but it turned out that it was just cooking a meal. This is what a maid should do." Yes. Don’t worry, young lady. I have learned a lot from Sister Huang one after another. I think I can still make some seasonal dishes, and I will definitely not embarrass you. "
Huang studied under Ji Qubing. All doctors, especially famous doctors, pay attention to health preservation. Almost everyone who cares about health agrees that the diet should be light and avoid meat and fish. Therefore, Mr. Huang is very good at making dim sum and side dishes. Mr. He has stayed in Fengzhou for many years. The dishes in Fengzhou tend to be vegetarian in taste. After being taught by Mr. Huang, his cooking skills are really good.
Wei Changying thought that no matter how talented Shangguan Shiyi was, he had been confined to a border pass like Diecuiguan and he was just a commoner. He thought he was used to living rough things. With He's craftsmanship, he should be able to deal with him. .
Immediately, I told Mr. He a few dishes and asked her to prepare them today. It didn't sound like anything complicated and difficult to prepare, everything was home-cooked. He knew that Shen Zangfeng was probably going to treat Shangguan Shiyi to a family banquet. She smiled and asked, "Has Mr. Shangguan been successfully recruited by the young master?"
"Isn't it?" Wei Changying looked sighing, "I just heard the news from my husband, and I really wanted to come out to the court immediately to thank God - I think this man's arrogance will continue for a year and a half! "
He said: "This is because our young master has a good temperament and sincerely cherishes his talent, so we indulge him so much. If it were another person, Mr. Shangguan, who was so ignorant, might have brought trouble to himself."
"Auntie, don't say this." Wei Changying knew that He was outspoken, so he stopped her with a smile and reminded, "My husband is very polite to Mr. Shangguan now. I think with my eyesight, this man's talent is indeed worth it." He's been showing off these days... Anyway, we haven't seen anyone, maybe we'll think he's pretty good when we do."
After He said these words, he felt that it was a bit too much. No matter whether Shangguan Eleven deserved such courtesy from Shen Zangfeng, Shen Zangfeng had been treating Xian Corporal for such a long time. If it was proven that Shangguan Eleven had a false reputation at this time, it would only be more embarrassing. He will be the next leader of Ming Peitang, not Shangguan Shiyi, who is not well-known yet.
At this moment, Wei Changying stepped forward and hurriedly moved the topic away.
In fact, although Wei Changying stopped Mr. He from talking about Shangguan Shiyi, he was still a little curious - what kind of person was this talent who was secretly teased by her husband about his beauty
Fortunately, the banquet was on the next day, and Shen Zangfeng had told her last night that he would take her with him to entertain the master.
Early the next morning, the curious Wei Changying got up and dressed up carefully with Shen Zangfeng to show that he valued this newly recruited staff member. During the day, Wei Changying checked all the preparations for entertaining Shangguan Shiyi and made sure they were correct. Then he returned to the room and chatted and laughed with her husband to wait.
In the evening, a servant came to report that Shangguan Shiyi had come to the banquet with his servants.
At the dinner that night, Shen Zangfeng not only arranged it to be a family banquet and brought Wei Changying to entertain it, but he also only invited Shangguan Shiyi. Now that Shangguan Shiyi has arrived, Guard Chief Ying hurriedly ordered the people around him to prepare for the banquet.
After giving instructions to his servants, the captain of the guard Yingcai straightened his skirt and garland, and went with her husband to the second gate to greet him.
Although it gets dark quickly at the border, there are already lights hanging all over the courtyard, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see clearly.
By the light, Wei Changying could see at a glance that among the two people who were led over by his servants, the first one had a strong back and a strong waist, a square face, leopard eyes, thick eyebrows like swords, and a nose as straight as a peak. Even though he was wearing the uniform of a scholar, Even the shirt and scarf could not hide the fierce spirit between Gu Pan.
Is this Shangguan Shiyi, the talent that my husband has worked hard to recruit in recent years
Wei Changying was a little surprised. In her imagination, the so-called staff should always have a literary temperament. Just a second thought... Shen Zang Fengdao, Shangguan Shiyi, is good at military strategy. Now that the man in Confucian shirt is described as a tiger general in front of the battle, maybe he is a Confucian general
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Guard Chief Ying saw that the person was approaching. Shen Zangfeng had already taken two steps forward to greet her. He followed her husband's steps and took a small step forward. He raised a kind and gentle smile of a courteous corporal, ready to be polite. .
Unexpectedly, Shen Zangfeng took two steps forward and said dumbfoundedly to the man in Confucian robes: "Brother Shangguan! I know that brother Shangguan, you don't like to make noise, so I didn't invite outsiders today. I only brought my wife to wait here. Brother Shangguan Why do you still hide behind Brother Mu and don’t want to show up?”
"..." Wei Changying looked at the man in Confucian shirt with some confusion. When Shen Zangfeng spoke, the man took a step aside and revealed the person behind him. At the same time, he said helplessly: "Third Young Master Shen, I'm rude. I saw your lady in the distance, so I didn't dare to come without permission and offend my lady. However, my young master firmly refused, so..."
When he said this, he was too stupid not to know that he was not the real owner and that the person behind him was. Guard Chief Ying looked behind him speechlessly, wondering why Shangguan Eleven didn't want to come over when he saw that he was there. Even if he reluctantly came over, he still had his servants accompany him. Could it be that he had some objections to him
Looking at this, even though Wei Changying had been practicing for a long time since he came out of the cabinet, he couldn't help but be stunned...
Standing behind the man in Confucian shirt was a man who was beyond his prime. Judging from the bamboo crown that tied his hair, he had already added a crown. It's just that this person is thin and has white and greasy skin, but he looks much younger than his actual age.
If he were only a few years younger, Wei Changying wouldn't be in a daze. After all, the female relatives of famous families are the ones who care most about maintenance. Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song, Mrs. Su... Wei Changying herself has not yet reached the age where she needs maintenance, but there are really not many elders she has met who are not. Look younger than your actual age.
The problem is... Shangguan Shiyi is too beautiful!
That's right, it's beauty, not handsomeness, not even handsomeness.
If this person hadn't been wearing a light green scholar's shirt, with a flat chest and an obvious Adam's apple, Wei Changying would have thought that Shangguan Shiyi was simply a woman disguised as a man!
After all, this mistress has a peach blossom face, eyes like lacquer, a nose like a pillar, lips dyed with vermilion, and long eyelashes comparable to Wei Changying - this is one of the most beautiful and pleasant facial features. Among them, only a pair of long eyebrows on the temples add a bit of heroism. What other looks are not what thousands of young girls dream of
Especially since it was dusk now, lights were already lit in the courtyard.
The so-called beauty is seen under the lamp. With the silhouette of Shangguan Shiyi, if you look at her in the daytime, you might mistake her for a very beautiful woman. Now at night, when the light shines on him, it becomes even more obvious that his skin can be broken by a blow. When he raises his head, his eyes are flowing, and he is still speechless!
... Looking at it from a distance, one would think that Shen Zangfeng had found a new beauty and brought her here to pay homage to his mistress with great care!
Wei Changying suddenly understood why when he had just arrived in Xiliang City, Shen Zangfeng, who was still recovering from his injuries, joked with him that there was a stunning beauty in Diecui Pass. Although it is not uncommon to use beauty as a metaphor for good talent and jade since ancient times, but When Shen Zangfeng thought of the word "stunning" at that time, he probably also thought of Shangguan Shiyi's appearance...
Moreover, this Shangguan Eleven not only looks like a beautiful woman, but also has a temperament as shy as an unmarried virgin! Originally, Guard Chief Ying listened to the words of the servant named Mu who accompanied him, and said that Shangguan Shiyi relied on his talent and despised himself, so he was unwilling to come over when he saw him from a distance.
As a result, Shen Zangfeng went up and chatted with him for a long time. Shangguan Shiyi raised his head shyly and replied with a few words in a voice like a mosquito... Wei Changying immediately understood that this guy didn't look down on himself, but looked down on him. When seeing strangers, they were too scared to come over.
... The servant surnamed Mu was still coaxing him from left to right, and it took Shangguan Shiyi to muster the courage to come. But he also asked the servant surnamed Mu to walk in front and cover him up...
If this was a young child, Wei Changying would have just teased him with a smile.
But if she remembered correctly, Shangguan Eleven looked young, but was actually older than Shen Zangfeng.
"... I finally know why my husband took so long to recruit him. It's not that he is arrogant, but that he is too shy!" Wei Changying was in a mess. He didn't even know how he accompanied Shen Zangfeng to welcome the guests to the table. How did she propose a toast again... Originally, she was very unhappy that Shangguan Shiyi had spent so much time on Shen Zangfeng before agreeing to serve as an official. She also hesitated over and over again whether it was time to weigh in on how extraordinary this person was and whether he was worthy of Shen Zangfeng. Paying so much attention to him - ever since Wei Changying arrived in Xiliang, Shen Zangfeng has definitely put more thought and time into Shangguan Shiyi than her wife!
As a result, when he saw Shangguan Shiyi now, Wei Changying immediately sympathized with his husband: "My husband is so patient! Such a person, from the second door to this meeting, allows my husband to joke, praise, greet guests, toast, talk and laugh ... I replied to a total of three sentences, two of which only had one word... I just toasted him politely, but I was so frightened that he almost dropped the glass. How could a husband like this It’s so pitiful that he agreed to become an official!” (To be continued)
