Chapter 231 Coming here by smelling meat
The wild boar meat and the mushrooms picked by Jiang Yueyao were delivered to the Grand Tutor's Mansion that afternoon.
Seeing that everything looked so fresh, Madam Tong immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare roasted wild boar meat and fresh morels for the gentlemen in the evening... The chef was a great cook. He made chicken soup with pig's stomach, and added morels when it was almost time to serve. It was a delicious soup that made people salivate just by smelling it.
In the evening, Shen Huaishan and Lu Sui came out of the imperial study together.
As they walked down the stairs, they both stopped at the same time.
Looking at the sunset in the distance, I let out a long sigh.
The Emperor Minghuang is looking for two people today regarding the matter of the Crown Prince.
Logically speaking, Lu Sui was the Grand Tutor, and Shen Huaishan had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Crown Prince.
But the Emperor Ming said, "You have always been the best in martial arts. Ning'er was weak when he was young, so I didn't want him to practice martial arts. Now that he has recovered, can you spare some time every day to teach him a few moves?"
The emperor has spoken, so how could Shen Huaishan dare to refuse?
But who would have thought that when the Crown Prince, that naughty kid, heard about practicing martial arts, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital came here in shock.
Final diagnosis: Deliberate!
After struggling for half an afternoon, the two were finally released by the emperor. At this moment, Shen Huaishan, in particular, breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them walked out of the palace.
He was too lazy to take the initiative to say a word to Lu Sui beside him.
"Today is thanks to you."
Lu Sui said modestly, "I hope you don't blame me for being too talkative."
Shen Huaishan glanced at him, and thinking of the Crown Prince's mischief, he felt a little sorry for him.
"It's not easy for you to be a tutor."
"Fortunately, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of me."
Shen Huaishan nodded without saying anything else, and the two of them left the palace together.
Outside the palace gate, the Shen family's carriage and the Lu family's carriage were waiting side by side.
Shen Huaishan's servant Chongjiu came over first and said with a smile, "Just now, a message came from the Grand Tutor's Mansion saying that Jinzi and the young lady had hunted a large wild boar in Mingxiu Mountain and sent some back. The Second Master said that they would have roasted meat tonight, so he asked you to bring some good wine."
When Shen Huaishan heard this, his eyebrows raised and his mood immediately became cheerful.
"Send someone back to the mansion to get the two jars of Chunrihong that I treasure."
"yes."
Shen Huaishan lifted his official robe and got on the carriage.
When the carriage started, he noticed that Lu Sui was still standing there.
He glanced at him and suddenly saw a bit of loneliness in him.
He chuckled, dropped the curtain, leaned back, and hummed a little tune all the way back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Now that the old lady and the second wife Cui are gone, there are only a bunch of men in the Grand Tutor's Mansion except the eldest lady.
She was in charge of the household expenses, was thoughtful, and took good care of everyone in the house.
Seeing that it was not very hot in the evening, he asked people to clean up the pavilion in Chongming Hall where the old master lived, put ice buckets around it, light mosquito repellent incense in advance, set up tables and chairs, and have rockery and flowing water on the side, which was more interesting than eating in the house.
Shen Huaishan came back the latest.
He first went back to Wangyue Tower to change into light and comfortable clothes, then he took the good wine he brought from the Shen family and strolled to the pavilion.
In the pavilion, Bai Jinyan and Bai Jinguang had already arrived.
The two brothers were talking, and when they saw him coming, their eyes fell on his hands at the same time...
"You only brought two jars of wine?"
Shen Huaishan stepped in and placed the wine jar on the table.
"I only have six jars in total. Two jars aren't enough for you?"
Bai Jinguang looked down on him: "You come to my house all day long to eat and drink for free, and today I drink some wine from you, and you are so stingy..."
As he was speaking, the old Grand Tutor Bai Changming arrived.
Shen Huaishan was already standing, he stepped forward to help the other person, and Bai Jinguan and Bai Jinyan stood up together.
"Father."
Bai Changming sat down and looked at the three people standing: "Please sit down, there are only a few of us, why are we being polite?"
"yes."
The three of them sat down together, and the maids from the mansion came one after another and placed the dishes on the table one by one.
Looking at the large plate of charcoal-roasted wild boar meat in the middle, Bai Changming smiled.
"That girl Baoqi is capable of this. I heard she weighs over a hundred pounds."
Shen Huaishan smiled and said, "How could she have beaten him? It was the secret guard beside her who used the skills he learned in Mobei."
Bai Jinguang took over.
"Father, Mother has passed away half a month ago. I happen to be on leave for two days. How about I take you there to stay for two days?"
Bai Changming glanced at him and said, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm very busy all day, how can I have time?"
Shen Huaishan on the side was very active.
"Father doesn't have time, so let's go. I happen to be on leave in a couple of days."
My brother-in-law and second uncle hit it off immediately.
The two men couldn't help but feel excited when they thought about seeing their wives in two days.
Today's dishes taste great.
Especially the charcoal-grilled pork belly, which is grilled to a sizzling oil and has a fragrance that can be smelled from miles away.
Shen Huaishan had just taken a bite of the pork belly when the housekeeper of the Bai Mansion came over and spoke respectfully to the old master in the pavilion.
"Master, the Regent is here."
Master Bai was holding the cup and was about to take a sip of wine, but when he heard Lu Sui coming, he put the cup down.
"Where are the people?"
"Outside the courtyard."
"Let him in." The old master said as he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
After the housekeeper left, Shen Huaishan always felt that something was wrong?
"He's not at home for dinner, what is he doing here?"
Bai Jinyan said, "Maybe there's something important."
Shen Huaishan raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.
He picked up the spoon and was about to take a sip of the chicken soup stewed with morels that his daughter had picked herself, but before he could put the drink in his mouth, Bai Changming spoke.
"Alright, stop eating for now. Let's see what Lu Sui is here for."
Shen Huaishan put down his chopsticks.
I was worried.
Which good person would come to someone else's house at mealtime?
This Lu Sui really doesn't know any etiquette at all.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lu Sui walking in from the courtyard gate, followed by a man named Qingxuan. Qingxuan was holding a food box in each hand, while Lu Sui was holding two jars of wine.
Just walked over slowly.
When he arrived at the pavilion, he looked at the old master and smiled gently and politely.
"I'm a lonely student, and it's really boring to eat alone. Wanhelou just happened to have some new dishes, so I wanted to bring them to my teacher and the three elders to try."
"Oh, by the way," he said, holding up the porcelain white wine jar in his hand, "This year's newly released Yulibai, I heard it's the teacher's favorite, so I brought you two jars."
When Bai Changming heard this, a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Dongfu, hurry up, have someone bring a new set of dishes and chopsticks, and add a chair and put it next to me."
"Yes." Butler Dongfu hurried to give instructions.
Soon, chairs, dishes and chopsticks were delivered.
Lu Sui sat down next to Bai Changming.
He looked at the two brothers of the Bai family and Shen Huaishan sitting opposite him.
A gentle smile, humility and courtesy.
"Three elders, excuse me for disturbing you."
Bai Jinyan smiled politely: "Your Highness is very polite."
Bai Jinguang then secretly kicked Shen Huaishan's foot...
Shen Huaishan glanced at him.
Then he looked at Lu Sui who was smiling at him.
I couldn't help but frown.
This guy... has bad intentions.
So, he spoke in a bad mood.
"Did you come here because of the smell of meat?"
