Chapter 013 Maltose

Lin Zimo, who sent his adoptive brother away, shook his head and walked back to his government office. The most memorable thing he remembers is Zhao Wenxuan's ancestral motto that he can't marry a foreign woman as his wife and concubine. Whether this matter is true or false, it reveals the arrogant side of the Han people looking at the surrounding foreigners. However, I turned my mind and put myself in the shoes and felt that the Han people in this era were full of a strong sense of national pride and identity.

From the ruling class to the people of Li, their blood and bone marrow have permeated the national pride of a great country. For the time being, not to mention the ethnic minorities in the future territory, the Korean sticks outside the territory, the Japanese, even the blue-eyed Franco people, they will not look up at each other, and they will not be shamelessly have to make friends with such foreigners from Europa, go to bed, get married, and give birth to a mixed-race child. On the contrary, they will be proud. It will feel shameless, and only Han people who have no way out and livelihood will do that kind of marriage with foreigners.

Lin Zimo, sitting on the chair, suddenly remembered that there was no China after the cliff mountain, and no China after the Ming Dynasty. He is a Han Chinese in his past life and present life. The contrast between the two national pride deeply falls into a specific confusion. In my memory, I vaguely remember that the Ming Dynasty seemed to be a dynasty that did not pay tribute to foreign people, cede land, or pay tribute. Historically, the Han Dynasty was called the Qianhan Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was known as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was known as the rich Song Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty was called Gangming.

Lin Zimo sighed and recalled himself. Since he was determined to go to the banquet as scheduled five days later, he still had to be prepared. My initial plan is to lead the members of the Wolf Tooth Guard. In case the two sides take action, even if their own side does not have an advantage, they will have to break down several teeth. He does not advocate force, and it does not mean that he is afraid of using force.

After the scattered government, Lin Zimo, who did not plan to work overtime, stood up and stretched out, then went straight out and returned to the back hall to have a good rest. Sitting in the flower hall, he picked up the star and made the tea for himself symbolically. After all, he couldn't live up to her heart.

"You can sing any song to listen to it." Lin Zimo, who was interested, slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

Standing in place and began to hesitate to pick stars, I felt that it was not to sing or not to sing. After all, the time I was expelled from the forest house was the factor that contained in singing music. She adores her master, but she has no intention of deliberately seductively. I know that if she is kicked out again, she will never come back here again.

With an inspiration, he suddenly came up with a way to have the best of both worlds and said with a smile, "I like to sing songs. I hope the master will allow me to invite the two ladies to listen to the music together."

Lin Zimo, who could hear the sound outside the strings, felt that she was bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years. He expressed his understanding of her and nodded in agreement. Looking very happy, he walked away from the flower hall with the wind, and went to invite the two ladies. Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu came together, and they followed the moon and lotus respectively.

Holding the pipa in his arms, he sat on a wooden stool and sang his best song like a yellow warbler. The women present were intoxicated. Except for feeling that her voice was good, Lin Zimo really didn't hear what she sang clearly, but it did not affect his sense of elegant art.

When Caixing, who had just finished singing, was about to sing the second song, Chu Erlang came in with a few bags of things in his hand. Hearing a maid say that his sister was in the flower hall, he thought that only Chu Hanlu and Cailian were there, but Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi were also there. He knows the rules and wants to salute the two of them.

Lin Zimo leaned his back on the chair and saw that he was going to salute, so he waved his hand and said, "This is not the former government. Don't pay too much attention to this set of false courtesy. After all, we are still a family."

Chu Erlang, the person in charge, was not exempt from vulgarity, but still respectfully and saluted the couple very respectfully.

Chu Hanlu saw something in his second brother's hand and asked with a smile, "Second brother, it's really rare for you to think of me, but the eldest brother often remembers this sister. What delicious food did you bring me?

Chu Erlang, who has not yet sat down, said very honestly, "I remember that my little sister loves maltose. Today, I happened to meet a sugar seller, so I bought some for you. If the magistrate's wife doesn't dislike it, please taste it.

Chu Hanlu, who didn't make any action, pouted and said, "Second brother, really. People don't like maltose for a long time.

Yang Mengqi knew in his heart that not only did the little girl not like to eat, but even the three big maids in this room would look down on this kind of poorly-made sweet food, so he didn't want to see Chu Erlang have no face and said, "Cai Yue, go and get it here. I really want to eat this maltose."

I was still secretly laughing that Chu Erlang was a picker who couldn't get on the table. Hearing the master's instructions, he immediately put away his smiling face and walked straight over. He took a bag of maltose from his hand, then turned around and walked back, opened the bundle of string, and spread it out on the table between Yang Mengqi and Lin Zi's silent chair.

Yang Mengqi, who stretched out his right hand, twisted a small piece of malt sugar and put it into his mouth without hesitation. She can fully feel that this sweet and greasy taste is completely different from the exquisite pastries and sweets in her kitchen. Yang Mengqi, who kept a smile, still ate two pieces in a row and praised Chu Erlang's intentions verbally.

Seeing Chu Hanlu, who was eating happily by Yang Mengqi, he thought that this maltose should be different from the past, so he ordered Cailian beside him to also bring a bag for himself.

As soon as she picked up a piece of maltose and put it in her mouth, she immediately spit out and said, "What's the smell? It's really terrible! Take it away from others. No, throw this terrible thing out to me.

After saying that, she picked up the tea on the tea table beside her with both hands and hurriedly used it to rinse her mouth. After all, the sweetness in her mouth was too greasy.

Chu Hanlu, who rinsed her mouth, showed her unhappiness. First, she stared at her second brother, and then stared at Yang Mengqi and said, "My sister is a big liar. It's not delicious, but you eat it with relish, which makes people fool you."

"Whether it tastes good or not, it's easy for people's hearts and personal tastes." Yang Mengqi, who did not forget her original, said meaningfully.

I was very curious about picking the moon and picking lotus. I wondered if the taste of these two packs of maltose was different, so I pulled out a piece and tasted it. I immediately frowned and felt that there was no difference. The lotus, who was distressed, did not follow Chu Hanlu's wishes, but rewarded the two little maids waiting outside the room. Instead, they were smiling.

Lin Zimo, who wanted to promote Chu Erlang, smiled at Chu Hanlu and said, "Since your second brother has brought you food, our family should give you a thank-you gift. What do you think should be given to him?

Chu Hanlu, who kept shaking his feet, pouted his little mouth and said, "Do you still want to thank him for sending such an unpalatable thing? Oh, I'll bring back the dates in my room for my second brother.

Lin Zimo, who picked up the tea, seemed to say lightly, "You gave me honey dates, and I gave me the position of hundreds of households. Little girl, what do you think of my arrangement?

All the people present heard what he meant, which made Chu Erlang, who was depressed, suddenly excited, knelt on the ground, and even kowtowed his nickname: "Thank you, Brother Zimo for cultivating me."

Lin Zimo smiled and said, "Don't be happy too early. After all, I'm just mentioning it to Wenxuan for you. As for whether it can be done or not, it depends on the meaning of you thousands of households, and I can't be his master.

Even Chu Hanlu could hear the meaning of his words, so he jumped off the chair, knelt in front of him, and thanked him with a smile on his face, "On behalf of my mother, I thank Brother Zimo for promoting my second brother."

Lin Zimo, who had drunk tea, was not a momentary effort**. When he saw Chu Erlang's actual work performance ability, he put down the teacup in his hand and smiled and said, "You two brothers and sisters, get up quickly!"

Chu Erlang, who will soon be promoted to the sixth grade, is really overjoyed, and Chu Hanlu, who doesn't feel too much, is regarded as his brother Mo's love for her. After a while, the two brothers and sisters stood up one after the other. Chu Hanlu, who sat on his chair, continued to swing her feet, while Chu Erlang, who did not sit down, still stood next to his little sister in the same way.

A room of people listened to the songs sung by the stars again. Lin Zimo, who was not in his heart, guessed the topic that he and Nalan Jianye needed to talk about. Before going to the banquet, he should be prepared, so as not to answer three questions. Lin Zimo, who can't make the other party feel that he is not sincere, wants to establish an alliance with the other party, so as to restrict other tribes and relieve the pressure he faces...

"Gong, Gong Gong, Gong Gong." Yang Mengqi, who seemed a little nervous, interrupted Caixing and called him three times.

Lin Zimo, who was fascinated, came to his senses and asked, "Madam, do you have anything to say?"

"I saw you in a daze and thought you were not feeling well." Yang Mengqi smiled and understood that he had left and said, "When I hear that you are so angry, I know that everything is fine, so the slave family can continue to listen to the stars singing at ease. I found that her singing and skills are getting better and better, which can be said to be perfect.
