Literati Sanctification

Chapter 128 Calculation
"Master, the hot pot is ready, do you want to eat it now?"

Xiaoyu finished the side dishes, and seeing that her young master was still talking, she still asked a question. Based on her understanding of Heng Xiulin, eating is the most important thing. If she didn't talk about it, she might be reprimanded.

"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't work."

Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Heng Xiulin immediately jumped up and said directly, he has been making hot pot for a long time, now it's better, how can he leave it.

"The people of Hongdae haven't eaten yet, why don't you stay here for a bite?"

Heng Xiulin suddenly thought of Hongyuanhua at the side, and then asked.

Hong Yuanhua originally saw Heng Xiulin jumping up after Xiaoyu said that he could eat, and even threw him aside, the corner of his mouth twitched. Is this Heng Xiulin really a literati?

I am an official anyway, although I didn't tell him what his job is, but like Heng Xiulin, there are not many people who just leave people aside when it's time for dinner, right?

But anyway, Heng Xiulin didn't really leave him completely, otherwise it would be really embarrassing. Seeing Heng Xiulin's invitation, Hong Yuanhua could only nod awkwardly at the moment.

It stands to reason that he should postpone it now, but the problem is, if you really want to postpone it, what should you do? People are going to eat now, so you can't just stay aside, right?

Hong Yuanhua hadn't been with Heng Xiulin for long, Hong Ningmeng would be disappointed if he just left now, thinking of her daughter, Hong Yuanhua naturally stayed cheeky.

There are really not many people who directly agree to an invitation from others. Seeing Hongyuanhua being so forthright, Heng Xiulin couldn't help but take a look at Hongyuanhua, making Hongyuanhua blush.

"Xiaoyu, add a pair of chopsticks to Hongdae."

Hot pot is more lively when there are more people, and Heng Xiulin is not so stingy, he directly ordered to Xiaoyu, Hongyuanhua looked at the two pairs of chopsticks on the table with some doubts at the moment, and there was already I already have two pairs of chopsticks, why do I still have them?

"By the way, although Xiaoyu is my maid, she always eats with her when we eat. Hongdae shouldn't mind, right?"

Noticing Hong Yuanhua's eyes, Heng Xiulin directly explained that some rules here are stricter, maids are not allowed to eat with the master at the table, especially officials, they value this more.

The person he invited here is not the owner of this place right now, so he probably wouldn't say anything.

"It's okay, I don't have so many rules."

When Hong Yuanhua heard this, he immediately smiled, and his spirit was lifted a little bit. Heng Xiulin looked strange for a while, wondering what happened to this Hongda man.

The reason why Hongyuanhua was so happy was because Heng Xiulin asked his maid to have dinner with him.

As his maid, judging from Heng Xiulin's performance, Heng Xiulin didn't be harsh on her performance, even his own maid was like this, so what about his wife?That's even more impossible.

Hongyuanhua thought of this aspect and was so happy. Fortunately, Heng Xiulin treated the maid well and was not the kind of violent person. This is not something Heng Xiulin can pretend, because the chopsticks were placed long ago Here it is, Heng Xiulin can't pretend even if he wants to.

After a while, Xiaoyu took the chopsticks and handed them to Hongyuanhua, while she sat down very naturally at the side, Hongyuanhua became more sure of what she was thinking after watching this scene.

Hongyuanhua was also hungry at the moment, and wanted to eat vegetables when he picked up his chopsticks, but seeing the pot of soup in front of him, which was still boiling, with raw meat and lettuce all in front of him, he was at a loss for what to do. mouth.

At this time, Xiaoyu also looked at her young master in a little bewilderment. This was the first time his young master made it. She had never eaten it before, and she didn't know how to eat it.

Seeing this, Heng Xiulin smiled slightly, and then said to Xiaoyu, "These lettuce and raw meat are easy to cook. Whatever you want to eat, just put it in the pot and cook for a while, and then you can eat it."

As Heng Xiulin said, he picked up a few slices of raw meat and lettuce, and the meat changed color after a while, Heng Xiulin picked it up and put it in his mouth.

Hong Yuanhua looked at Heng Xiulin's movements, and his heart moved slightly. Heng Xiulin just inadvertently took care of his face. Although Heng Xiulin was teaching Xiaoyu just now, he was not teaching him, but Heng Xiulin Xiu Lin didn't say anything to him.

The smell emanating from the pot became more and more intense. At this time, Hongyuanhua couldn't help sliding his throat, and then put some vegetables and meat down. Xiaoyu on the side, as early as when Heng Xiulin did this, A few slices of meat have already been put down, but now they are directly picked up and put into the small mouth.

"Wuuuu, son, it's delicious."

Xiaoyu whimpered while eating the meat in his mouth, Xiaoyu would do this every time he ate something delicious, and Heng Xiulin was used to it, so he smiled and didn't say anything.

Hongyuanhua also picked up the meat at this moment, hesitated to put it in his mouth, and the next moment, a scent that was stronger than the usual dishes spread from his mouth, making Hongyuanhua The brows stretched unconsciously.

After eating the hot pot served by Heng Xiulin, he suddenly realized that what he ate before was like pig food.

"Master Hongda, can you tell me what you are looking for today?"

While eating the hot pot, Heng Xiulin asked Hongyuanhua who was beside him that he didn't know why Hongyuanhua came to visit today.

"Master Heng, do you know that Jing Guo's talented scholars will arrive in this imperial city in a few days."

Originally, Hongyuanhua didn't know how to answer this topic, but after listening to Heng Xiulin's words, Heng Xiulin didn't know that doctor Zijin well.

"Jing Guo talent? Come on, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"

Hearing the words, Heng Xiulin frowned immediately, and he gave himself Doctor Zijin in a decent manner. Could it be that he is really in trouble?

Looking at Heng Xiulin's appearance, Hong Yuanhua immediately felt relieved, knowing that Heng Xiulin really didn't know what was going on here, so the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"In the past, the talented scholars from Jingguo came here to compete with the talented scholars from the imperial city, but the talented scholars in the imperial city are not as good as others, and they have been humiliated every time. Talented people are coming, and there will inevitably be a competition."

"And if the talented people in the imperial city lose, you, as the number one talented person in Jiang country, will inevitably be moved out at that time. Although the other two big countries also have Zijin doctors, they have never been awarded to anyone. You said they listened. Are you interested in your name?"

Hong Yuanhua looked at Heng Xiulin, and said directly. After finishing speaking, he let Heng Xiulin think about it, and he concentrated on dealing with the hot pot in front of him.

After hearing Hongyuanhua's words, Heng Xiulin's face suddenly turned ugly. The emperor was really planning on himself. After hearing Hongyuanhua's words, he couldn't understand what the emperor was planning.

Those talented people in Jingguo, if they know that Jiangguo has a number one talented person, will definitely jump out and step on themselves a few times. This is more interesting and accomplished than stepping on those talented people in the imperial city.

Moreover, there is no doctor Zijin in their own country, and if they step on themselves a few times now, they will have the cost of showing off when they go back.

"No one knows me, I see how they trouble me."

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin said a little angrily, it's very good, and it's just calculated by others, and no one will be happy if it's changed.

"No one knows you right now, but it's not certain when the time comes."

Hongyuanhua heard the words, looked at Heng Xiulin, shook his head and said, he didn't understand before, but now he understands everything, no wonder the emperor let Heng Xiulin be the Zijin doctor, and he saved it to deal with that The mind of a talented person in Jingguo.

Presumably, the emperor knew that Heng Xiulin was indifferent to fame and wealth, he didn't take these things to heart, and he didn't want to compete with those talented people, so he chose such a method to eliminate violence, and gave Heng Xiulin the title of talented person for the first time. Press it, and Heng Xiulin will have no place to run if he wants to.

So what if everyone doesn't know Heng Xiulin at the moment, when the time comes, let someone come forward and disclose Heng Xiulin's information. There are not too many ways to accidentally recognize Heng Xiulin.

In the past, those talented scholars severely humiliated those talented scholars in the imperial city. Although the emperor did not express anything, but now it seems that the emperor is extremely angry in his heart, otherwise he would not have done such a thing.

Hearing Hongyuanhua's words, Heng Xiulin felt a little depressed, and after a few mouthfuls of food, he couldn't digest him.

"Young Master, why are you so frowning? How can the talents of those gifted men compare to Young Master? When Young Master writes a poem like the seven-inch literary poem on the Lantern Festival, it is enough to compare them all?"

Xiaoyu looked at her young master's frown, and felt a little distressed. Thinking of the Lantern Festival, her young master wrote a poem with a seven-inch literary spirit, which made all the talented people on the bank abandon their pens and stop writing, but Incomparably mighty.

"Haha, Xiaoyu, you are really clever. Your words won the hearts of the young master. It's okay if those talented people don't come to provoke me. If they really want to step on your young master's feet, don't blame the young master for being rude!"

Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Heng Xiulin was immediately in front of his eyes, and after holding some cooked meat rolls for Xiaoyu, he said to Xiaoyu with great admiration.

Just like what Xiaoyu said, as long as I write a poem, it will be enough to frighten them all so that they don't dare to compete with me, just like it was during the Lantern Festival.

Moreover, I don't have to show up. Doesn't the emperor just want to defeat those talents by himself?It's not that I have to show up, when the time comes, I will secretly leave a poem and sign it, wouldn't it be fine?

When the time comes, you will be able to retire, and you will not be able to compare those talents, even the people behind, if you want to find yourself, you will not be able to find them. It will kill two birds with one stone!
When Heng Xiulin thought of this, he immediately smiled, and let go of the worries in his heart. He ate the hot pot with a lot of flavor. Xiaoyu, who was at the side, saw that his son was at this time, and he seemed to have no worries, and he also looked happy. Concentrate on dealing with the hot pot.

But at this time, Hongyuanhua on the side looked at Heng Xiulin's just Xiaoyu's words in a daze, as if it was thunder, and it exploded in his ears. On the Lantern Festival, the person who wrote seven-inch literary poems actually It was Heng Xiu Lin in front of him!

In this imperial city, because of the seven-inch style of poems, everyone has been arguing for a long time, but they don't know who that person is. He never thought that this person is actually Heng Xiulin.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that the emperor put the name of the first talented scholar on Heng Xiulin's head. That's why.

After writing a piece of strange poems, they didn't leave a name, and even the poems were incomplete, and they didn't come forward to complete them. From this point of view, they are really indifferent to fame and fortune. Thinking of this, Hongyuanhua smiled wryly.
