King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 187
"Oh? Why is Yuan Jie still cooking? As a Confucian scholar, how is it proper? Doesn't he know that a gentleman is far away from cooking? Go! Take me to have a look!" Sima Fang asked his servants to take him with him I went to find Li Lin by myself, but I don't know if Sima Fang is really unwilling or wants to taste Li Lin's delicious food...

"Hey! Kid! Do you want it?" Those very young ones all ran to Liu Ying's side. Liu Ying took the plate and distributed food to a group of children, just like an aunt in a canteen Seems like, but Liu Ying is very happy, looking at this big group of children, Liu Ying also hopes that her little Li Ping will grow up sooner.

As for Sima Lang, he had already run to the side of the road with a plate of braised pork in his arms. Li Lin obviously saw that kid dug out a small flagon and went to drink secretly. Standing on the side, I don’t know which camp I’m going to go to. Li Lin knows that it’s the most troublesome for such small children to find a partner. Let’s go to the small side. I think those children are too naive , and the older one didn't bring him to play, so Li Lin brought a plate of food to Sima Yi to tease him.

Sima Yi nodded, Li Lin smiled and said, "Then tell me how old are you first?"

Sima Yi said, "Fourteen!"

Li Lindao: "Hehe, it's not too young, your sister-in-law Yinger married me when she was fourteen!"

Sima Yi said, "Father wants to find me a home too! But I won't do it!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Yes! You are really a good child if you want to have a late child!"

Sima Yi obviously didn't understand what it means to have a late child, but he still didn't want to say, "I'm already fourteen, I'm not a child anymore!"

Li Lindao: "Well! It's not a child anymore!"

Sima Yi hesitated, "Can you give this to me?"

Li Lin said, "Well! Here you are!" Li Lin handed the plate to Sima Yi as he spoke.

"Hmm..." Suddenly, someone hummed heavily. Sima Yi, who was about to take the plate, shook his hands, and immediately retracted. in one direction.

Li Lin looked up and saw that Sima Fang was standing outside the door, waiting for him with an angry face. Li Lin knew that Sima Fang was angry, so he hurriedly said, "Well, uncle, I just want to see some younger brothers. Get hungry and do something!"

"What does this look like! Is that what I call you? And you, Yuan Jie, never thought that you would learn how to cook after being away for a few years. Could this be what your father called you? Don't you know that a gentleman is far away from cooking? ?" Sima Fang roared angrily.

Li Lin didn't expect this old man to have such a temper. Isn't I just a cook? If this is in Liaozhou, who would dare to control me, Liu Yu?Lao Tzu will never bird him!
Li Lin immediately said, "Uncle, I was wrong, but I think that in troubled times, if you only want to be a modest gentleman, you are destined to be bullied! So I don't want to be a gentleman!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Lin in shock. The one who was most worried was Liu Ying. When she saw Uncle Bing Yuan, she quarreled with Uncle Bing Yuan because she wanted to start a business. When Liu Yu was an uncle, he quarreled with Liu Yu again because Liu Yu didn't want to see his husband. When he came back this time, he saw an uncle like Sima Fang. In this situation, he still had to quarrel with this uncle. , there are only a few elders in the family, Li Linquan has quarreled with them...

Liu Ying hurried over, pushed Li Lin and said, "Husband, what are you talking about? Don't talk back to uncle!"

After hearing Li Lin's words, Sima Fang stretched out his finger in surprise, pointed at Li Lin, stared, unable to speak, "You..." This is the first time I've heard someone say that I don't want to be a gentleman , What kind of person is this!How is it different from the thinking of those thieves?

At this time, Sima Lang, a living treasure, appeared at the right time. He was holding an empty plate, and he probably came over to see if there was any more. Seeing his father standing here and pointing at Li Lin angrily, he immediately froze and stared. Seeing all this, I dare not move.

Sima Fang looked back and saw Sima Lang. Sima Lang was obviously drunk, his mouth was full of alcohol, and his face was flushed. Sima Fang became even more angry, and immediately shouted, "Okay! You brat! It's the opposite of drinking, it's the opposite, the opposite! You! Ah! One! One!" Sima Fang pointed at everyone, including Li Lin. Afterwards, Sima Bada, who was famous and famous, had beaten eggplants with Shuang one by one.

Seeing how tough Li Lin was, Sima Fang shouted, "Okay! I can't control you anymore, let your grandpa and maternal grandfather control you! You all go and kneel in front of the altar!" After finishing speaking, Sima Fang He flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Everyone listened and walked out obediently, but Li Lin was very puzzled. As for it, didn't I just cook a meal for a group of people?It's fine if you don't thank me, but you still made such a big fuss!There is no mistake!
Seeing that Li Lin was still standing there and refusing to leave, Sima Lang hurried over and pulled Li Lin out, and said in a low voice, "Let's go! My father's anger is no small matter. Go, go!"

Li Lin still complained, "What's wrong with me? I can't make a meal! He is so fierce!" Li Lin was dragged all the way to the mourning hall by Sima Lang. , wrote the spirit of the loving father Sima Yan, while Liu Ying stayed in the back kitchen to clean up.

Everyone lined up according to size and knelt down. Li Lin still didn't want to kneel, Sima Lang said, "You should accept the punishment, otherwise we will be implicated with you! Father's punishment is to punish us all!"

When Li Lin saw the youngest children, they were also very wronged and looked at him with big watery eyes, as if they were really begging, so Li Lin could only kneel down. Li Lin was the second child, younger than Sima Lang and older than Sima Yi , between the two.

Li Lin muttered angrily, "Such a young child still needs to be punished. This is simply corporal punishment! Hmph! Really, where did I go wrong, didn't I just make delicious food for you?"

Sima Lang hurried over, "Don't complain, just kneel down, and it will be fine tomorrow when father is angry!"

Li Lin said unhappily, "It's not you, but you still dare to drink privately, can uncle not be angry when he sees it?"

Sima Lang was also unwilling to say, "You still rely on me! Is it because you have to cook by yourself, or we will be punished?"

"Hmph! You're delicious after I made it! I think you..." Li Lin also defended but was not satisfied, Sima Yi whispered, "Don't make noise, father must be watching us outside!"

Everyone immediately straightened their backs and knelt on the ground upright, but Li Lin and Sima Lang kept making small movements...

"Hey..." Sima Fang looked at the expressions of the crowd, sighed regretfully, and said in a low voice, "It still needs to be tempered!" After speaking, he shook his head and walked to the study.

Not long after they were driven away, Sima Yi in the mourning hall whispered, "Okay! It's okay, father should go!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and softened crookedly. Li Lin smiled and pushed Sima Yi's shoulder and said, "Okay! Boy, eat your father to death!"

Sima Yi said, "If you hadn't said that you don't want to be a gentleman, father wouldn't be so angry!"

Li Lin immediately said in a bad mood, "Hey! You kid also talked about me!"

Sima Lang immediately continued, "Look, look, I say it's your fault!"

"Go, go! You are everywhere!" Li Lin pushed Sima Lang.

Sima Yi said, "Father and grandfather are both Confucian scholars, respecting the way of Confucius and Mencius. The master said: A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Today, the second brother committed a crime and told his father that he does not want to be a gentleman. Of course, my father is angry!"

Li Lin twitched his lips and said, "Hey... Anyway, the fines are all fined, and what's the use of saying so much!" However, Li Lin also admired Sima Yi for being able to see things so clearly at such a young age. He is a character who can confront Zhuge Liang!
Sima Lang stopped talking about Li Lin, but asked, "Hey, Yuan Jie, what's so interesting about you in Liaozhou? What are you cooking today? Liaozhou's special food?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe, these are all my private dishes, and they can't be eaten in other places. Of course, we in Liaozhou have fun, especially in winter!"

Sima Lang asked suspiciously, "Winter? Don't they all say that the north is a place of bitter cold? Thousands of people freeze to death in winter! How can it be fun?"

"That was in the past. Now we have a kang there. In winter, as long as we burn firewood, we can make the house warm and not cold at all!"

"It's so powerful, what is this kang!"

"Hey, you are asking the right person! I invented this kang!"

"That's right! Yuan Jie!"

"Hey! I've invented a lot!"

"Tell me!" Everyone listened carefully.

"There are things I make......"

Li Lin was chatting passionately with a group of Sima's family, while on Sima Fang's side, after arriving in the study, Sima Fang picked up the book, but he couldn't read it anymore. His mind was full of what Li Lin just told him. As the saying goes, "In today's troubled times, if you only want to be a modest gentleman, you must be insulted by others, so I don't want to be a gentleman!"

Sima Fang shook his head and said with a long sigh, "Hong Sheng! What kind of son did you raise! Li Yuanjie was not like this before! How could..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Sima Fang said "Come here!" Then he immediately adjusted his mood, returning to the appearance that the world owes him money.

There was a burst of aroma of food, and Liu Ying was holding a large plate with some side dishes and a bowl of rice...
