A girl’s life?

Qi Lu is a modern man, and he still has to listen to the girl's wishes for this kind of thing, so he thinks it would be good to hold a party and let Miss Yin Si meet Wu Man. It would be great if they can make a good match.

Ji Lin smiled and said: "It is the Taifu who has the most bad ideas."

Qi Lu said: "What a bad idea. Isn't Lu just sharing the emperor's worries?"

Qi Lu added: "Yes, it would be embarrassing for only the Yin family and the Wu family in Yanyin. The emperor could also invite Zhou Gong and Guo Gong as a cover. In this way, everyone can drink freely, even if Grand Sima and Miss Yin Si don't like each other. It’s not like you can’t get off stage, right?”

Ji Lin nodded and said: "According to Taifu, I will call Duke Zhou to discuss it soon. It is most appropriate to leave Yanyin's affairs to Duke Zhou."

Although Zhou Gong Heijian rebelled against Ji Lin a few days ago, it has to be said that Heijian is the best at doing these things, because Heijian is the best at judging people's hearts. It is best to leave these things that are overt and covert to Heijian.

Speaking of the Yin family and the Wu family, we have to talk about Wu Man. Ji Lin said with a smile: "This is the nature of that boy Wu Man. If he says anything to the Taifu, the Taifu must not take it into his heart. .”

The Wu family is not like the Yin family. The Wu family is full of boys. Wu Man has a lot of brothers and sisters. He has no half-brothers, but he has a lot of half-brothers. Moreover, he was born in such a big family, and there is competition. Naturally very intense.

Although Wuman looks like a little wolf cub today, when he was a child, Wuman was dark and thin, especially the little one. He was always bullied by his brothers and sisters at home. He was not the eldest son, nor was he a direct descendant. In such a situation. In a big family, there is basically no chance to inherit the official position of Grand Sima, so even the servants dare to bully Wu Man.

Because Wu Man was bullied a lot when he was a child, he was afraid of being bullied. When he grew up, he was also afraid of being bullied, but it was different from the "fear" he felt when he was a child. When Wu Man was afraid of being bullied as a child, he could only cry and hide away. Well, now that the grown-up Wu Man is afraid of being bullied, he will bully him back in advance, so he is as stiff as a hedgehog, not sparing anyone he sees.

Qi Lu nodded, thinking that it turned out to be a paper tiger.

Ji Lin and Wu Man were very familiar with each other. After all, they were brothers. He also said: "I told the master a clever trick. Da Sima has a quirk. No matter who offends Da Sima, or how he offends Da Sima, as long as he praises him After being a great Sima, he immediately put the blame in the past and forgot all the events of the past day."

When Qi Lu heard this, he realized that he was not only a paper tiger, but also an arrogant paper tiger. It turned out that he liked others to praise him, and as soon as he was praised, he would not hold grudges.

Qi Lu secretly noted down that the two of them were gentle enough. Seeing that it was almost noon, Ji Lin was not very busy, but he still had official documents to deal with. Qi Lu was naturally not in a position to cause the disaster of "from now on the king will not come to court early" , the two people got up.

Ji Lin was going to invite Zhou Gong Heijian to come over to discuss the matter of enjoying the flowers and swallowing the swallows. Qi Lu had nothing to do, so he thought that Miss Yin Si seemed to be suffering from an insufficiency disease and was always coughing. If the swallows could be arranged, Qi Lu would He would definitely see Miss Yin Si again, and it would be good to have a good relationship with Mrs. Yin. Qi Lu was going to the dining room to make some drinks to relieve coughs and moisturize the lungs.

It is autumn now. It is very dry in autumn. Due to the sudden change in weather, not to mention Miss Yin Si who is as weak as a little white rabbit. Even the emperor sometimes coughs slightly. At this time, drink some cough suppressants. Drinks that nourish the lungs are the best.

Qi Lu then thought of a drink that is very suitable for the current season and is also very cheap to store. If you make some of this drink now, it will not only be available for the emperor to drink daily, but when the time comes, on top of Yanyin, you can take some out for Miss Yin Si to drink. It will be just right.

Build a good relationship with the Yin family.

And this wonderful drink is none other than Qiuli paste.

Autumn is the season for eating pears, but the emperor doesn’t like pears very much. To put it bluntly, the emperor doesn’t like any fruit. Qi Lu thinks that autumn pear paste is suitable for the emperor, so he makes the pears into a thick sweet paste and pours some on it when drinking.

, sweet and fragrant, moisturizes the lungs and relieves coughs, warms and nourishes, and perfectly solves the emperor's problem of not liking fruits. The most important thing is that Qiuli paste is very cheap to store, and will not deteriorate in a short period of time. Make more at one time to store

There is no problem getting up.

Qi Lu thought so and prepared to go to the dining room to make some Qiuli ointment. He walked all the way into the dining room, and upon entering the dining room, he found that the atmosphere in the dining room was a bit subtle.

I don’t know if I have been away from Luoshi for too long, so the waiters have become alienated from me, or for some other reason. Anyway, there is no sound in such a noisy place in the dining room. I wish I couldn’t hear it.

To the sound of gasping.

Qi Lu walked in strangely and understood at that moment that because an uninvited guest came to the dining room, the waiters were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe, so there was no sound in the normally noisy dining room.

The uninvited guest sat on the firewood pile in the dining room very generously, with his legs crossed and his arms folded, with an impatient look on his face. He seemed to dislike the dirty and greasy dining room and was always on the verge of becoming angry.

The man is dressed in a large Sima official robe, a court robe, a black jade crown on his head, and a four-finger-wide belt restraining his lean and straight waist.

It's a sword, and it's unsheathed.

Dressed in the official robe of a Grand Sima, isn't it none other than the Grand Sima Wuman of the royal family?

Wu Man was sitting on the pile of firewood with a golden sword. When he saw Qi Lu walking in, he immediately stood up, put on a condescending sneer, looked at Qi Lu with his chin raised, and said something not very friendly.

He said mockingly: "Tsk, isn't this my senior brother's sweetheart? What are you doing here in the dining room? You're not doing your job!"

When Wu Man opened his mouth, his emphasis was so yin and yang that Qi Lu was not angry. He smiled kindly, but his words were not as kind as his words. He showed a look of confusion and said: "What Da Sima said is wrong."

, and it’s a complete speech impediment, you also said that Lu is just a sweetheart, so isn’t it his job to go into the dining room, cook a few side dishes, and please the emperor on weekdays? On the contrary, it’s Grand Sima...

"

Qi Lu looked Wuman up and down. Wuman stood tall, with his head held high, one hand behind his back, and the other hand hanging down naturally. His body was tall and lean, and his weapons were dignified. However, looking at Wuman's appearance, he must have already

After waiting in the dining room all morning, if Qi Lu's guess was correct, Wu Man should have been coming to the dining room since early morning to seek his own bad luck. However, Wu Man did not expect that Qi Lu would not be there all morning.

Instead of coming to the dining room and cozying up with the emperor on the soft couch in the bedroom, Wuman waited all morning.

Qi Lu smiled and said: "On the contrary, the Grand Sima, with such a noble body, is driving the dining room. Isn't it possible that he came all the way to see Lu?"

"You..." When Wu Man heard this, his face immediately changed color. He was indeed here to see Qi Lu, and he came here specifically to see Qi Lu. However, Wu Man came to see Qi Lu because he felt that Qi Lu was not "airborne".

A good thing, it can blind the emperor's sight and hearing, and charm the emperor, so he wants to warn Qi Lu to stay away from the emperor.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Wu Man came specially to see Qi Lu, but it sounds strange.

Wu Man narrowed his eyes, sneered, and regained the arrogance and majesty of Da Sima. He took a few steps forward and approached Qi Lu. To be honest, Wu Man looked like a wolf cub. He narrowed his eyes.

There was a murderous aura when Qi Lu saw him approaching, and the distance between the two people shortened. He wanted to retreat, but then he thought about it, Wu Man's temperament cannot be allowed to him, and if he is allowed to, he will definitely kick his nose in the face.

.

So Qi Lu didn't retreat at all and stood firm on the spot. Wu Man took one step forward, but Qi Lu didn't move. Wu Man took two steps forward, but Qi Lu still didn't move.

At Yin Zi's birthday party yesterday, Wu Man clearly forced Qi Lu into a corner and made various "ambiguous" moves. He thought he could still force Qi Lu back today and overwhelm him with momentum, but he didn't know he was gone.

After two steps, Qi Lu didn't move at all.

Wu Man didn't believe this evil. After all, he was tall and a military officer. Qi Lu looked like just a white-faced scholar who couldn't carry his shoulders or lift his hands. How could he compare with him?

Wu Man took a third step forward. The two of them were almost touching each other, very close to each other. Qi Lu remained calm and did not take a step back.

It was a good time, Wu Man had already approached Qi Lu, but Qi Lu didn't take a step back. The distance between the two was too close, Wu Man was surprised. Firstly, he was surprised that Qi Lu didn't lose at all in terms of momentum, and secondly,

Firstly, I was surprised that there was a bright red mark on Qi Lu's neck. Thirdly, I was also surprised that when Qi Lu took a closer look, he found that besides being pretty, he actually had some temperament.

Wuman said "Teng!" His face suddenly turned red, he quickly took a step back and knocked over the kitchen knife on the chopping board.

The kitchen knife fell down, and it happened to fall between the two of them. Wu Man looked at it, and with quick eyes and hands, he hugged Qi Lu and pulled him away from the kitchen knife. The kitchen knife fell to the ground with a "Duo!", but fortunately no one was hurt.

Wu Man breathed a sigh of relief and then came back to his senses. He found that he was holding Qi Lu in his arms. He was immediately frightened and said viciously: "Don't even think about trying to do anything evil to me!"

Then he turned around and left the dining room, his back looking very angry as he left.

Qi Lu: "..."

Da Sima came in a menacing manner and left in a menacing manner. As soon as he left, the waiters in the dining room breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Master, are you okay?"

Qi Lu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Is there anything the Great Sima can do to you?"

The waiters said: "It's not difficult at all. It's just that the ministers heard that Da Sima is young, but his methods are extremely vicious. He is a person who cannot be messed with!"

"Yes, yes, I have also heard about it. It is said that this great Sima once killed a craftsman who surrendered to the enemy with ten whips! Oh my, that is a cruel and ruthless person!"

"Da Sima came here today specifically to target Taifu. Taifu, you must be careful!"

Qi Lu said with a smile: "It's not a problem."

Qi Lu came to make Qiuli ointment, but something went wrong along the way, but as Qi Lu said, it was no problem, and Da Sima had already run away aggressively.

Qi Lu asked the diners for some pears, and today they happened to have some fresh pears, which were just picked and brought to the palace early in the morning.

Qi Lu picked a large basket of pears, washed them with clean water, peeled and cored the pears, and cut them into thin strips. Then he put the pear thin strips into a large pot and boiled them directly without adding water.

Qi Lu used a large dagger to stir the pears in the pot. Because pears have a lot of water, they can cook a lot of pure soup even without adding water.

Qi Lu poured out the soup, filtered it, then continued to boil it, adding some herbs to relieve coughs and moisturize the lungs.

In fact, Qiuli paste is very easy to boil. After the pear juice is boiled over low heat, it will turn into a light amber color after a period of time. After another period of boiling, it will begin to become thick and stringy, turning into the appearance of Qiuli paste in the supermarket.

The cooking method is not difficult, but the problem is that it is a bit time-consuming. Qi Lu boiled the pear juice at noon and simmered it slowly over low heat until it got dark, then boiled the pear juice into a thick paste.

shape.

A sweet aroma of pears hits the face, with a hint of fruity fragrance, which is richer and sweeter than raw pears. Because Qi Lu specially added several medicinal herbs into it, this autumn pear paste is still full of flavor when it is boiled.

It has a light medicinal fragrance, which does not feel bitter, but instead enriches the taste of Qiuli paste.

Qi Lu worked hard all night last night. When he got up to make Qiuli paste today, he felt his arms were sore and his whole body ached. He transferred the red amber Qiuli paste into a small bottle, filled several bottles in a row, sealed them, and drank.

It's time to make some water.

Qi Lu boiled Qiuli ointment, brewed a cup, and headed to Lu's bedroom with it. Ji Lin was reviewing documents in Lu's bedroom, and he had heard about it. Da Sima Wuman was looking for Qi Lu's bad luck again, and found

Went into the dining room, but didn't say a few words, and finally left angrily.

When Ji Lin saw Qi Lu walking in, he put down the slip and said, "Master, is Wu Man in trouble for you?"

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't mention the name of the man next to you in front of Lu."

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled like a little puppy and said, "Master Duyi."

Qi Lu handed the drink brewed from Qiuli paste to Ji Lin and said, "The emperor has a try. The weather has turned cold these days, and the emperor has been traveling between the Song Dynasty and Luoshi. It is inevitable that he is not accustomed to the climate. Lu saw that the emperor had a slight cough.

, try this autumn pear ointment, drink some every day, it can relieve cough and moisturize the lungs."

Ji Lin did have a cough, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, Ji Lin had been very strong since he was a child. He had never been seriously ill, and he didn't like to take medicine for minor illnesses. Who told the emperor to like eating sweets and not like suffering?

The emperor himself didn't pay attention and didn't take it to heart. He didn't know that Qi Lu had brewed a drink like Qiuli paste. When he smelled it, he felt that it was fragrant. The fruity aroma was mixed with a little bit of strange aroma. He didn't even drink it in his mouth.

It quenches your thirst very much.

The emperor took the ear cup from Qi Lu's hand, asked Qi Lu to sit next to him, and said, "The master treats Lin'er very well."

Qi Lu was busy in the dining room all afternoon. He ate all his lunch in the dining room because he was afraid that the autumn pear paste would be burnt. Although there was not much skill in making the autumn pear paste, it took a very long time and the cooks didn’t know how to do it.
