Chapter Ninety-Seven: Self-Justification (Part II)

"General Lin has always been in love with her, if she has no feelings, why should General Lin be a child. General Lin is now sending troops to fight, won't he be able to get married when he comes back! Niangniang, you are confused, she is clearly ill-intentioned. ā€

Before Qi Xin finished speaking, Man'er said it out loud angrily, Qi Xin hurriedly made a gesture, meaning to tell Man'er to be quieter, Man'er also realized that his voice was too high, and closed his mouth,

"I didn't have a mother since I was a child, and my sister took care of me when I was in Qingguo, and I was grateful to my sister, and I didn't want to watch my sister do something wrong, so I agreed to help my sister. But on the emperor's side, I don't know what's going on, maybe General Lin also asked the emperor to take care of his sister before leaving. All of us should be thinking about our sister for the sake of our sister, and we don't want her to do something she regrets in a hurry. ā€

After telling the story in unison, Man'er was dumbfounded. She knew what kind of person the Seventh Princess was, at that time, she and Chang Xin were suddenly transferred by Chang Gui from Zhengyang Palace, and Qi Xin was lying alone on the bed, her spirit was very poor and her body was bruised, so that no one could bear to see it, but later I heard that it was Qi Xin's own sister Seventh Princess, and she had to be ruthless.

But what she couldn't imagine was that Qi Xin was such a person who valued love and righteousness, and the emperor treated his subordinates so generously, which taught her more stability in her heart. Man'er suddenly felt a lot more down-to-earth, she was lucky to have such a good master.

Man'er suddenly smiled, and so did Qixin, and the master and servant held hands cordially and opened their hearts to each other.

Qi Xin didn't say much wrong about what she said so much, what she said was the truth, but she just lost something about herself. Her heart has long changed, and she is no longer the purest and most precious saint in the heart of the inviter, she is now just an ordinary woman who plays with her heart. If she's any different from the others, it's that she's playing bigger.

The suspicion of Qingshangdian is becoming more and more prosperous, and the dignitaries who come will build yƬ shopkeepers and control the personnel who come. After the shopkeeper did so, it seemed that the business was not so prosperous on the surface, but in fact, it was both funds and connections. It's all a lot of money.

"This is Lord Kim's name."

The shopkeeper is now staying in a room on the second floor to think about business, and if someone wants to make a reservation for a meal in Qingshang, they must go to the second floor to deliver the name card in person. The shopkeeper now has some figure, and he has long since lost the trembling look he had when he first did this. There is a kind of calm and self-understanding temperament.

The shopkeeper smiled and took the name card from the person who seemed to be the housekeeper, but when he saw the content of the name card, he quickly stood up and respectfully saluted the visitor.

"The villain will definitely prepare Shousuke-sama's dinner."

Only then did the butler smile.

"The money shopkeeper doesn't have to be so polite, my lord Hayworth likes to be called 'Lord Jin' by others. The master just heard that Qingshangshan's food is famous, and he also wants to try it. Come alone, don't have to prepare. ā€

When the shopkeeper heard what the butler said, he was stunned for a moment, weighing the other party's words back and forth in his heart. said that it was 'heard', but he didn't introduce his surname, and the other party had already called him 'money shopkeeper', so he must have investigated. It's just that the other party is so low-key and makes it clear that he wants to come alone, and he can't tell what the hell is.

"Yes, the villain will do as the adults command."

After that, the housekeeper introduced some other things that needed ideas, and Duan Zhirong, who was standing outside the door, went back to the kitchen without listening, but the smile on the corner of his mouth proved that he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

After it gets dark. Lord Shoufu Jin finally appeared in front of Qingshangshan's door secretly, and the shopkeeper Qian personally went out to greet him. However, Lord Jin was not very enthusiastic, just nodded slightly and went upstairs to his private room.

In fact, he just wanted to taste the Qingshang Meal on a whim, and after he got out of the court, he heard several times that some ministers were discussing the Qingshang Meal, but he never took it to heart. Knowing that he had retired from the dynasty today, when he came home from the Northern Qi Palace, he passed by and saw the signboard of Qingshangdian, so he was interested and asked the housekeeper to send a famous post.

"My lord, the dishes are all ready."

"yes, okay."

Master Jin lifted up his sleeve and picked up the chopsticks, and took a chopstick into his mouth. He didn't have much hope for this green food, but after a chopstick mouth. But I felt that it was very cool and delicious, and I unconsciously ate more.

The shopkeeper stood aside, watching Lord Jin's unstoppable movements, and the hanging heart was also slightly relaxed. He kept looking at Lord Kim's expression and it wasn't particularly good. Now that he saw that Master Jin had eaten so much, he was angry with Chu Ren in the back kitchen.

"Well, your dishes are really good."

"Thank you, Lord for complimenting."

"This official thinks that he has also eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he has not eaten this kind of taste, but he is very curious. It's better to ask the chef to meet the official, so that he can answer his questions. ā€

When the shopkeeper heard that Master Jin said that he wanted to see 'Chu Ren'. Although I was a little confused, I still went out to call someone.

Duan Zhirong worked hard this time, and took out a plant that he had collected when he entered the customs before. Although it is only a simple material, it is not won in the Northern Qi Kingdom, and the taste is indeed fresh and will make people feel happy. So when the shopkeeper came to call him, he was surprised to arrive.

Master Jin looked at the person in front of him carefully, his physique was sturdy, but he looked like a martial arts practitioner, his head was always down, and he looked humble.

"Raise your head, the official is just curious about the taste of this meal."

"What are you curious about, but that cool smell?"

After hearing this, Lord Jin looked at Duan Zhirong for a while, and then said with a smile,

"You know very well, it seems that this is your secret ingredient? The reason why Qingshangshan can call me the way I am now must be due to you. ā€

Duan Zhirong smiled, raised his head, and looked at Lord Jin with straight eyes,

"The villain is a cook, and he carefully studies his cooking skills every day, so he is naturally a little confident. I must have a number of dishes I cook. It's just that the adults are invited to atone for their sins, the secret villain of this meal can't be told to the adults, if the adults want to eat, just come to the green to eat. ā€

Duan Zhirong's face was full of confidence, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth also showed his pride. In the eyes of Lord Jin, this is just a young and showy prime, and he can't imagine that this is Duan Zhirong's way of deliberately attracting him. (To be continued.) )
