Chapter 76 Night Banquet 5

"I am waiting to welcome my father and mother!"

As soon as the slow-moving golden chrome car arrived, Li Xian and the two of them hurriedly greeted the crowd and bowed down to say hello.

"Oh, Xian'er, Xian'er, why did you stop here?"

With the courtesy of Li Xian and others, two little eunuchs rolled up the curtain of the golden chrome car from left to right. Gao Zong looked out of the carriage and saw that the little brothers were still driving on the road still some distance from the garden. They couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked doubtfully.

"In the words of your father, you go out with your mother, and the children should be the leading guide. This is also the filial piety that the children should do. I beg your father, the mother's guardians and other guardians, so as to take care of everything."

When Gao Zong asked this question, Li Xian really didn't know how to answer. In desperation, he could only turn his eyes to Li Xian, but saw that Li Xian bowed unhurriedly and explained with a smile.

"Oh, you child, that's all, that's all, then guard it."

Gao Zong naturally didn't know that there were countless twists and turns in Li Xian's stomach. It was not surprising to hear Li Xian's words. He waved his hand with a smile and casually agreed to Li Xian's request, but he didn't notice a trace of fine light flashing in the eyes of Queen Wu sitting next to him.

Hey, I'm really going to do it tonight. Good boy, I almost got into the trap! Gao Zong didn't notice the change of Wuhou's eyes, but Li Xian's eyes were very sharp. The fine light in Wuhou's eyes just flashed, but he couldn't hide Li Xian's careful observation. Under the tightening of his heart, he had already confirmed Wuhou's arrangement and couldn't help secretly shouting that he was lucky. However, Li Xian's city was deep, although his heart was already mentioned. The intention of defense suddenly arose, but his face was still full of Chengzhi's incomparable smiles. He stood happily next to the golden chrome car and acted as an accompanying guard.

Picking up the car is a big deal. The number of red tape is really extraordinary. Even if Gao Zong came here just to go to a "family banquet", there should be no less etiquette. Since Gao Zong and others got out of the car, the young and old and young Wu family have all become kowto-headers. They are busy kneeling and kowto-stop. They are busy when it is dark. Finally, Gao Zong and other distinguished guests were welcomed into the banquet hall and sat down. The wine and dishes were served one after another, and the family banquet officially began. As usual, it was naturally a toast to the Wu brothers who were the master, and then Gao Zong's instructions. The Empress Wu replied, and it was a good tossing, until the first song and dance were on the stage. Everyone waited for this to get some free time.

The Wu family has been rich for generations, and the Wu brothers are all in a high position. Although the banquets they set up are not as colorful as the dishes in the palace, they are also extremely rich. The dishes are sent up from time to time like running water, so that the people in front of everyone are full of locals, but the people present are the most in the world. Distinguished people have never enjoyed any delicious food. Naturally, they are not very interested in those drinks and food. Even if they use chopsticks, it's just for a while. Most of them just enjoy singing and dancing and chatting with them. The atmosphere of the whole family banquet is always very flat, and even a little dull, even if the Wu brothers are energetic. The ground is flattered and gag to create an atmosphere, but it doesn't help. That's it. Two songs and dances have passed, and the family banquet is nearing the end.

Li Xian doesn't eat the dish. If he doesn't drink wine, Li Xian will never touch his lips. He really can't avoid the toast of the Wu brothers. That's just a casual matter. Although people sit straight, they seem to be all focused on singing and dancing. In fact, the rest of their eyes glance at him from time to time. Helan's mother and daughter, sitting diagonally opposite, were secretly alert and ready to adapt to changes at any time. However, what Li Xian expected was that the song and dance had passed, and there was no problem with Helan's mother and daughter, which made Li Xian irritable for no reason, but at this time, he did not dare to talk and move around. He could only suppress himself. With the irritability in his heart, he waited in a complicated mood, just because Li Xian himself couldn't tell whether he hoped that the accident would happen well or not.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, Weichen has been an official in Shizhou for several years. Although he has not made much achievements in government affairs, he has gained a little in one of the food. Occasionally, I got a dish, and I dare not hide it. I will make a special offer. Please appreciate it, Your Majesty." Just after the second song and dance retreated, Wu Weiliang stood up with a smile, strode into the hall, bowed deeply to Gao Zong and Wu Hou on the chairman, and said.

"Oh? I'm very curious about this. Aiqing will send the dish up. In fact, Gao Zong didn't really want to come to this so-called family banquet, but since Empress Wu opened his mouth, he couldn't help but come. Naturally, his interest was not high. It was purely to deal with it. He didn't open much this night. But at this time, when he heard Wu Weiliang's words, he was really interested. He sat up and waved his hand. , signaled Wu Weiliang to offer the treasure as soon as possible.

"Yes, Weichen obeys the order!" Wu Weiliang saw that he had successfully aroused the interest of Gao Zong. He was very excited. He hurried to answer the promise and did not retreat. He stood in the hall and slapped it gently. He immediately saw two beautiful maids carrying a tray and entering from the foreign money in the hall. There was a big sea bowl on the tray. The heat was steaming, but it was added to the bowl. With the lid, I couldn't see what was inside, but there was a strong fragrance that spread on the lobby in an instant, which made people feel appetizing.

"Your Majesty, please have a look." After the two maids walked into the hall, Wu Weiliang came closer, reached out to open the lid of the sea bowl, made a "please" gesture, and said with a smile.

"This, is this tofu?"

Gao Zong is lustful but not easy to eat. He has never paid much attention to eating a dish, and he doesn't have much research. But no matter what, the basic concept of food is still not lacking. At this time, he stared at the things in the sea bowl for a long time. How can he think that the thing is just ordinary tofu, but he can't be sure. After hesitating for a moment, he tried doubtfully.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is tofu."

Wu Weiliang bowed with a smile and answered affirmatively.

"Huh? Is this tofu made of gold?

As soon as he heard Wu Weiliang's answer, Gao Zong was not happy. He felt like he was being fooled, but it was not easy to attack the Wu family in front of Wu Hou. His face immediately became gloomy and sarcastically said coldly.

"Your Majesty, although this thing is tofu, it is not the tofu you usually see. There is a different universe inside." Under Gao Zong's displeasure, the atmosphere in the hall immediately darkened, but Wu Weiliang was not nervous. He explained with a smile, but deliberately sold the barrier and still refused to say what the universe inside was.

"Oh? I'm curious about what the universe is. You might as well come out. Gao Zong looked at the bowl of tofu doubtfully, then at Wu Weiliang, scratched his head, and asked in disbelief.

"Your Majesty knows that this thing is indeed tofu, but the raw material made is not soy milk, but egg white, duck brain, cow paste and other things are cooked by secret methods. It is unparalleled in its freshness and tenderness, which is not unusual. What's more rare is that there is also a thing in the tender tofu - loach!" Wu Weiliang smiled proudly and explained in a loud voice.

"The loach?"

Loach is a cheap thing. Naturally, it is impossible to go to the imperial dining room. Although Gao Zong has heard of it, he has never really seen this thing. At this time, when he heard that there was loach in the tofu, he couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't understand what precious this loach can have.

"Your Majesty, although this loach is from the pond, it is an unusual puddle field. It is a fat one. It is fed with cow ointment every day and cleans it with clean water. Three days before it is put into the pot, it cleans its intestines with aged vinegar every day, and then it is raised with ginseng soup to make it tasty. When you are ready to put it into the pot, there is another thing to pay attention to this living thing with tofu. Put it into the pot, use ginseng soup as the base, and slowly boil it over low heat. The loach is afraid of heat. If the soup is slightly hot, it will drill into the tofu one after another. When it is cooked, the tofu has closed, and the loach is turned into the tofu. Its taste is extremely delicious, and it has the wonderful effect of nourishing the face. It can be eaten. Wu Weiliang explained it, and especially pointed out the effect of beauty, which surprised everyone.

"Alas, the third uncle said that this thing is so magical. My concubine is really unheard of. Is it really a wonderful skill to nourish her face?" Women always love beauty. As soon as He Lan Minyue heard that this thing could nourish her face, she immediately became energetic. Without waiting for Gao Zong to speak, she shouted coquettishly.

"Madam Mingjian, this thing does have the wonderful skill of beautifying the face. The subordinate official is a recipe from an immortal. He really dares not lie to the emperor." Wu Weiliang had long heard that He Lan Minyue, his niece, was now the new favorite of Gao Zong. At this time, when he saw his question, he did not dare to neglect it a little, so he bowed and answered.

"Really, my concubine is really knowledgeable." He Lan Minyue's small mouth opened slightly, and her big eyes looked straight at the plate of tofu, as if she was extremely moved.

"Okay, Aiqing has a heart. Well, Yue'er is happy, so let's use it first." Gao Zong didn't pay attention to food. No matter how beautiful Wu Weiliang said it, Gao Zong didn't pay much attention to it after listening to it. He just saw that He Lan Minyue was moved, so he smiled and gave this plate of tofu to He Lan Minyue.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

As soon as He Lan Minyue heard this, she was very happy and smiled at Gao Zongfu. She thanked her mouth and thanked delicately, but her eyes aimed at the plate of magical tofu.

All the people present are extremely valuable people. Naturally, they will not have the intention to compete with He Lanminyue. Besides, since Gao Zong has opened a golden mouth, no one dares to compete on the spot. They can only smile and look at the plate of tofu and hand it to He Lanminyue's mother and daughter...
