Zhu Nian explained to Old Man Li the reason why he came this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Old Man Li looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and soon raised his head with one hand, looked at Zhu Nian with burning eyes, and said in a firm tone: "Okay, girl, I promise you!" ”

Zhu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sincerely, "Thank you, Grandpa Li." ”

"It's just—" Old Man Li frowned.

"Grandpa Li, what else are you worried about?" Zhu Nian asked.

"If my unfilial son hears that I am going to work in Tianxiang Pavilion, he will definitely go to Tianxiang Pavilion to find trouble!" Old Man Li lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm afraid that I will damage the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion!" ”

"Grandpa Li, you don't have to worry about this, our Tianxiang Pavilion will be guarded by guards with strong martial arts." Zhu Nian patted Old Man Li's hand to reassure him.

"Oh, that's good." Old Man Li nodded, but he still had some worries in his heart.

"Then Grandpa Li, if you don't have any problems, I'll take you to Tianxiang Pavilion tomorrow to have a look and familiarize yourself with the environment." Zhu Nian said.

"Okay." Old Man Li said.

"Da Chuan, you go find more people to come over and help Grandpa Li clean up the house." Zhu Nian turned his head again, looked at He Dachuan and said.

He Dachuan glanced at the upper room, which had been smashed into a mess at this time.

He nodded, turned and went out.

After an hour and a half, He Dachuan took the four servants to clean up the inner room and add some new furniture, and then came out of the house.

Zhu Nian was chatting with Old Man Li, and when she saw He Dachuan coming over, she said goodbye to Old Man Li and said, "Then Grandpa Li, you go into the house to rest, and Dachuan and I will leave first." ”

"Well, good." Grandpa Li nodded reluctantly.

He wanted to send Zhu Nian out, but was stopped by Zhu Nian in time.

Zhu Nian protected Old Man Li and said, "Grandpa Li, you are also injured today, don't send us, go back to the house and rest!" ”

"This!"

"We're leaving, don't send it!" Zhu Nian walked quickly outside, and He Dachuan followed her.

"This girl!" Old Man Li had no choice but to look at Zhu Nian, who was gradually moving away, and shook his head helplessly.

As soon as Zhu Nian returned to the gate of Zhu Mansion, he was greeted by the new housekeeper, a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Miss, you're back!" Steward Fang said.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Nian looked at the panicked Steward Fang and asked suspiciously.

"It's Gonggong Shen from the palace who is here, and now he is waiting in the hall." Steward Fang replied.

"Oh? How long has he been here? Zhu Nian asked with an eyebrow.

"He came not long after you left the house in the morning." Steward Fang replied respectfully.

Zhu Nian couldn't help laughing, he was worthy of being a person from the palace, his endurance was so strong.

"Then I'll go to the hall now and look for him." Zhu Nian said.

"Okay." Steward Fang nodded, then bent down and stretched out an arm to welcome Zhu Nian into the mansion.

In the hall, Gonggong Shen sat on the side, holding a teacup in one hand, turning the teacup back and forth on the rim with the teacup lid in the other, and then leisurely sipping tea.

Zhu Nian walked into the hall dignified and looked at the three people in the room - Gonggong Shen and the two little eunuchs standing behind him.

"Gonggong Shen!" Zhu Nian shouted loudly.

Hearing the shout, Gonggong Shen glanced up at Zhu Nian, then smiled and put the teacup in his hand on the table and stood up.

"Oh? The miscellaneous family can be regarded as looking forward to Miss Zhu! ”

"Let Shen Gonggong smile." Zhu Nian smiled and expressed his apology.

"Don't worry." Gonggong Shen shook his head and waved his hand: "I really like to have such high-quality tea waiting for you in your house." ”

"Huh, huh?" Zhu Nian smiled.

"Miss Zhu is worthy of being the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion, not only the dishes are so good, but also the life is so exquisite. Entertaining miscellaneous families with this excellent Biluochun is really the best quality! ”

"Thank you Gonggong Shen for the compliment." Zhu Nian replied politely: "If you like this tea, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare more for you when you leave, and you will treat it as a gadget in your spare time." ”

"Eh, then why am I embarrassed to accept it!" Gonggong Shen refused, but his eyes that were about to laugh like a crescent moon betrayed his joy at this time.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't dislike it." Zhu Nian said.

"Don't dislike, don't dislike!" Gonggong Shen shook his head with a smile and said, quietly accepting Zhu Nian's gift.

"Then what are you here for, Grandpa Shen?" Zhu Nian asked.

"What else can I do for, of course, the emperor misses your craftsmanship."

"Today?" Zhu Nian asked.

Gonggong Shen nodded.

"You can leave now, in fact, I came here this morning, and the emperor said that I want to eat the lunch you made. Now it's not far from the emperor's dinner. ”

"Then can you ask Gonggong Shen to wait for me for a while, and let me go and change my clothes, after all, I am entering the palace-" Zhu Nian said.

"Understood, understood!" Gonggong Shen nodded, then beckoned and said, "Go quickly." ”

"Okay." Zhu Nian nodded and left the hall.

Gonggong Shen was in a good mood, he sat down again, continued to taste tea, and muttered from time to time: "Good tea!" What a good tea! ”

Zhu Nian walked out of the hall, and when he saw Steward Fang guarding outside, he beckoned him to come over.

"Miss."

"You go and prepare more Biluochun collected in our house, and give some to Gonggong Shen later."

"Yes." Steward Fang nodded, and then left with big strides.

Zhu Nian hurried back to the bamboo garden, changed into a dark blue light gauze mat dress, combed a flying fairy bun, and then followed Gonggong Shen to the palace alone.

Again in the back garden of the palace, where there are many flowers, and you can smell the fragrance of various flowers from a distance.

The last time I visited, there were still a lot of new shoots on the branches that had not yet bloomed.

It's only been a short period of time, so the flowers and trees are full of colorful flower clusters.

On the winding promenade on the lake, Shen Gonggong turned his head, looked at Zhu Nian, who couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful scenery, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful here!" If Miss Zhu likes it, she can come here often in the future. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Nian replied lightly.

This time, Gonggong Shen did not take Zhu Nian to see the emperor in a certain palace, but took her directly to the imperial dining room.

At this time, there was only one young cook busy in the imperial dining room.

The young man was about twenty years old, and he looked a bit like a girl.

If it weren't for the high bun on his head, Zhu Nian might really mistake him for a girl.

"You are?" Seeing Shen Gonggong and Zhu Nian walking in, the young man looked at Zhu Nian and asked.

"Hello, my name is Zhu Xinnian." Zhu Nian introduced.

"You're Zhu Xinnian?" The young man's eyes widened and he looked at her in surprise.

Zhu Nian also looked down at his body and asked, "What, is there any problem?" ”

The man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "No! It's just -- I thought you were an old woman over thirty years old, but I didn't expect you to be so young......"

He lowered his head and added in a low voice, "It's still so beautiful." ”

"Huh." Zhu Nian couldn't help laughing out loud and looked at the shy and blushing big boy.

"You haven't told me what your name is." Zhu Nian said.

"Oh!" The man then remembered, and then said, "My name is Lian Zhou, and I am also an imperial chef, but ...... It's just a five-grade one. ”

Zhu Nian walked in front of Lian Zhou, naturally put his arm on his shoulder, patted it lightly and said, "Don't worry, let's go long in the future!" ”

"Huh? Oh...... Ahem! Lian Zhou looked at Zhu Nian's hands on his shoulders, and coughed lightly embarrassedly.

Gonggong Shen also came over and said, "Lianzhou, you can learn more from Miss Zhu in the future." In a while, the emperor is going to eat the lunch made by Miss Zhu, and the time is running out, so you can help her fight here. ”

"Good!" Lian Zhou nodded happily.

Gonggong Shen explained a few more words to Zhu Nian and left.

Zhu Nian walked around the imperial dining room and nodded with satisfaction.

She explained to Lian Zhou a few ingredients she needed, and then went to the side to prepare.

Lian Zhou turned around and went to the treasury to help Zhu Nian and learn more experience by the way.
