As soon as Hao Jun entered Ji Xiaolan's mansion with Shen Mingji's maid ring, he noticed a little different.

When he came before, he could always hear laughter and roosters chirping in the mansion, but at this moment, the voices were silent and seemed a little weird.

Hao Jun guessed that it was because Ji Xiaolan came back that the people in the house became respectful?

In the pavilion in front of the middle hall, a banquet has been set up, and there are three people sitting next to it, Hao Jun only knows Shen Mingji from a distance.

When he got closer and closer, Hao Jun combined with some of the portraits of Ji Xiaolan that he had consulted before coming, and guessed based on the seating arrangement and Shen Mingji's intimacy, that the one with high cheekbones and a pointed chin who was about fifty or sixty years old should be Ji Xiaolan, and the other one with a Chinese character face who was sixty or seventy years old I don't know who it was.

Yahuan led Hao Jun to the front, and Shen Mingji got up to welcome him and introduced the two parties.

Sure enough, as Hao Jun expected, the fifty or sixty-year-old was really Ji Xiaolan, and the one with the national character face was the governor Dongfang Ju.

According to Shen Mingji, Dongfang Ju is the head of the place where the emperor camped after he was sick, Ji Xiaolan came back from leave, and the emperor sent Dongfang Ju to learn about the auspicious night pearl, and then he will report back.

When everyone arrived, they began to serve the main course, which was really boring and refined, which made Hao Jun, who is a master chef, also amazed. The only disadvantage is that the color and aroma are good but the taste is slightly lacking, not because the cooking skills are not high, but because of the limitation of seasonings.

Ji Xiaolan and Dongfang Ju were obviously used to eating big scenes, and they both thought that Hao Jun's performance when eating and drinking was also an expert, so they asked Hao Jun about his opinions on food.

Of course, Hao Jun can't give up the opportunity to show himself, and leaving a good influence on these two is equivalent to a big step closer to Qianlong.

Hao Jun narrated it, mixed with food anecdotes, and also gave examples of different tastes produced by different production methods, which made the three people present dizzy and fascinated.

After Dongfang Ju came to his senses, he immediately asked Shen Mingji to call the cook and discuss the wonders of food and cooking tips with Hao Jun face to face.

After a while, the two cooks followed Shen Mingji over, and after meeting the two adults, they started talking about the dishes on the table.

Hao Jun is best at Lu cuisine, so he made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, focusing on the analysis of the three Lu dishes they made that could be improved, and I heard the two cooks nod their heads again and again from Hao Jun at the beginning.

But Hao Jun has obviously changed to the role of master, but there is still no trace of arrogance in his words and deeds, it really seems to be creating an atmosphere of mutual discussion.

Ji Xiaolan and Dongfang Ju exchanged glances and nodded secretly.

Ji Xiaolan told the two cooks that they could go back to the kitchen.

The two chefs were still unsatisfied, and continued to consult Hao Jun's cross-era culinary accumulation, and they had the feeling of listening to your words and reading ten years of books.

Dongfang Ju put the teacup down, and the two cooks woke up suddenly, and were about to kneel, but Ji Xiaolan stopped them in time and asked them to hurry up and prepare the next dish, so as not to disturb the guests.

Ji Xiaolan beckoned Hao Jun to eat meat, well, eating meat is his favorite.

Hao Jun's heart is not very calm.

Hao Jun's eyesight is far from comparable, and he has noticed the strange details of the two cooks just now, they have a kind of respect for Ji Xiaolan when facing executives, but they are in awe of Dongfang Ju from the bottom of their hearts!

When Hao Jun quietly observed carefully, he found that Ji Xiaolan and Shen Mingji also had a trace of awe for Dongfang Ju!

Hao Jun doesn't know too well what grades each official position corresponds to, such as the second grade and the third grade, but Ji Xiaolan is not an ordinary Beijing official, he is a bachelor who often accompanies the emperor, Hao Jun doesn't think that Ji Xiaolan has the need to be in awe of an exiled governor.

If this governor was not the place where the emperor camped after he became ill, but was stationed in a border fortress, Hao Jun felt that Ji Xiaolan's performance was relatively normal, because it was not easy to be a feudal official!

However, the so-called Dongfang Ju is not! He is just the governor of the mainland!

Then, the identity of Dongfang Ju is worth considering!

Hao Jun had an idea in his heart, so he naturally leaned on the characters that Ji Xiaolan and Shen Mingji were in awe, and he couldn't help but think of Qianlong!

It's just that Qianlong is much older than the portrait left by Lang Shining, is this really Qianlong in front of him?

Hao Jun suddenly remembered, the recent history of this time and space is highly consistent with his main time and space, Lang Shining died fourteen years ago!

Even if Lang Shining completed the portrait of Qianlong sitting on his knees before his death, it was fourteen years ago!

Hao Jun then figured out why he felt that the people in the courtyard were silent when he first came, because the emperor was here!

Hao Jun couldn't help but look at Shen Mingji, who was fiddling with the brazier around, and secretly said that she would also lie to people? Or do you want to lie to me!

A cold wind blew, and it happened that Shen Mingji had just turned the charcoal, and the slag dust and debris rushed up with sparks, and several people hurriedly drove out of the dining table.

Hao Jun took advantage of the chaos to activate Infinite Focus and Eye-to-Eye Observation to explore the suspicious areas around him.

In the atrium, in the wings, behind the rockery, outside the flower wall, and other places where people can be hidden, Hao Jun found a total of twelve guards wearing iron armor and hooded robes!

Moreover, four of them have guns! Not iron guns or red tassel guns, but muskets that can be fired!

This is only what Hao Jun has discovered in a short period of time, and there may be others hiding in other places.

Hao Jun can be completely sure in his heart that Dongfang Ju is just a pseudonym, maybe it is really the name of the governor, but the Dongfang Ju in front of him is the current emperor!

When the dust settled, Shen Mingji also sat down.

Ji Xiaolan finally led the topic to the night pearl, starting with the seven night pearls presented to the emperor.

Hao Jun briefly recounted the discovery of these night pearls, of course, which was basically the same as what he said about Shen Mingji before, but added some details.

For example, it is mentioned that the figure of the dragon robe sitting in the middle is in the center, the horse riding is in the back, the dragon and the phoenix are on both sides, the front is the Old Summer Palace, and the surrounding is surrounded by other figures. It was not until the earth and rocks were cleared that it was completely confirmed that these figures were contained in the natural spherical night pearls, a total of 290 pieces.

Qianlong, Ji Xiaolan, and Shen Mingji said in unison: "So many!"

Qianlong asked impatiently, "Where are the other night pearls now?"

Hao Jun said slowly: "Give away four, sell one hundred, and there are one hundred and seventy-nine at home." ”

"Sold a hundred, to whom?"

Hao Jun said with a smile: "Lord Dongfang, Qin is a businessman who has always obeyed the rules, how can he leak the information of customers at will?"

Qianlong was stunned for a moment, and soon showed a playful smile, "Mr. Qin, it is precisely because you are a businessman who has never had bad deeds that you have the opportunity to drink at the same table with me and Master Ji." The auspicious night pearl is a sign of national peace and security, and it should be dedicated to the current emperor, how can you let the auspicious flow into the market first?"
