Chapter 189: An Unexpected Discovery

Yan Wuwu said: "Xiaoguang, you are also kind enough to invite us to Dingyuan to play." As for those things, they were accidents. I think my uncle will find out slowly, so don't ask Brother Jin, what does he know as a scholar. Let's talk about poetry and painting. By the way, Xiaoguang, I heard that the prince is going to hold an annual meeting. On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month. ”

He felt that Jin Xiaoguang always talked about going to Dingyuan, which meant to bring up the old things again. The danger of going to Dingyuan this time was wave after wave, and he felt scared when he came back. Although he also brought back the tiger tendon he wanted most to make a bow and arrow.

Young Master Jin Zhen smiled softly and said, "What Worry-Free said is true. Anyway, I will take the imperial examination again next year, and this time I can't take it lightly. If you can't pass the exam this year, and if you can't pass the exam next year, you won't be able to see your father and mother as a brother. ”

Jin Xiaoguang also smiled and said: "If you can't pass the exam, it's a big deal to go back and take care of your family's family business, to be honest, it is better to plant a few acres of thin land at home as an official in the court." The wife and children are good at hot kang heads. ”

Young Master Jin Zhen said, "That's a good point. Ten years of cold window. Besides, if Brother Wei really goes back to farming, I'm afraid the two virtuous brothers won't recognize me as a brother anymore. ”

Jin Xiaoguang and Yan Wuwu denied it together, and Yan Wuwu patted his chest and said: "If Brother Jin really goes home to farm, I will definitely come to visit you twice a year, but Brother Jin has a business in the town, isn't your oil mill already about to open." ”

In the days when Young Master Jin Zhen was away, Yan Wuwutuo's people had already helped him find a good face in Tianmen Town, the scale was not large, and the location was good. , sort of in the center of town. It is not far from Juxian Hotel.

As the three of them were talking, Young Master Jin Zhen shouted to the outside world: "Jiu'er, prepare food, I want to get drunk with the two virtuous brothers today." ”

Jiu'er Lin Zhu looked at each other and smiled, Lin Zhu got up and put the plate in his arms on the stool and said, "Sister Jiu'er, let's go cook." I don't know what the dishes are. If not, I'll go to the vegetable garden and get some. ”

Jiu'er said, "Don't bother. Let Brother Dashan go to the town and buy it. The two sons also ate at home, and they must buy some chicken, duck, fish and meat. ”

"In that case, then I'll go with you."

To buy these things, you have to make a table of dishes, just in time to go around the town.

Li Zhushan heard that Lin Zhu was going to follow, and a smile appeared on his face like a knife and an axe. said, "Zhu'er wants to go." It just so happens that you are familiar with Juxian's shopkeeper Qi, and ask him to buy us some of the cooked meat cooked in the store, and the cooked meat in his store tastes really good. β€œ

"That's fine." Lin Zhu said: "Sister Jiu'er. Eldest sister and second sister, let's go. ”

"You all go." Li Zhushan thought that only Lin Zhu wanted to go with him, and he was happy in his heart. When I heard that so many women were going. Dissatisfied, he said, "Then I'd better go by myself." ”

He didn't want a big man to lead a group of little women, and he couldn't stand the chatter.

Lin Zhu said, "What's wrong. Brother Dashan, what a face it is for you to take us there. A man with four women. , and they're all beauties. No one else has this blessing, not even my son-in-law. Okay, Brother Dashan, let's go. I just bought some meat and tofu, and I'll go back and get the vegetables. 、Save a little is a little。 ”

Jiu'er slapped his shoulders at Li Zhushan, entered the house and said goodbye to Young Master Jin Zhen, and came out to take Lin Zhu's hand and went out.

Lin Yun and Lin Duo also walked out, Lin Yun poked his head out, and saw Lin Zhang's arms holding the treasure outside the gate. She knew that Noble must have just woken up, asked for something to eat, and was crying.

She was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated. The mother and the third aunt seem to have discussed it, and they didn't come back yesterday. Noble is also very tasty, and the fried noodles brought back from the vegetable garden have been eaten. Just now, she also went to the vegetable garden with Lin Duo to find out if there was anything to eat. I just saw Jin Xiaoguang and a few people who entered Young Master Jin Zhen's house.

She stepped back, grabbed Lin Duo behind her and said, "Grandma is outside." ”

He hurriedly said to Lin Zhu in front of him: "Zhu'er, grandma is outside the gate, I won't go with Duo'er, help you get firewood and boil water." ”

Jiu'er Lin Zhu saw Lin Zhang's and knew that they didn't dare to come out.

Jiu'er said, "You guys go to the kitchen first, there are noodles in the noodle jar." Duo'er, your cakes are well baked, let's make a few cakes first. ”

It's best if these two don't follow.

She knows Li Zhushan's feelings for the deceased princess best, and now Lin Zhu is getting older and more like a princess, and it is reasonable for him to want to talk to the little princess more and look at her more.

And in private, she wants Li Zhushan to protect the little county lord forever. , Li Zhushan is a martial artist, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, if the little county lord has him in the future, he will definitely not be bullied.

The three of them went to Tianmen Town along the road, and Jiu'er took Lin Zhu's hand and said, "Zhu'er, look at Brother Dashan." Growing so tall, I guess the two of us together are not as tall as him. ”

Lin Zhu nodded approvingly, according to her visual opinion, this big mountain is one meter nine. The ancient people were a little lower, and this height was really super tall.

"Almost. I really don't know how tall a daughter-in-law Brother Dashan will marry in the future. Don't dare to marry a short one, or the high and low will be like a camel catching a chicken. ”

He giggled.

Li Zhushan also laughed and said, "Zhu'er, don't make fun of your big mountain brother." No matter how high or low, as long as you can marry a daughter-in-law, it's good. ”

It is not difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, there are many daughters of those former subordinates, and there are many who are devoted to him, but he always finds it difficult to determine.

Jiu'er opened her mouth, and wanted to say that otherwise Zhu'er would marry Brother Dashan. , but he didn't dare to say it. Lin Zhu's marriage should be decided by the young master, and if the young master doesn't speak, how dare she talk nonsense.

However, although Li Zhushan is not a prince and dignitary, he is also worthy of the little county lord, and more importantly, he will be good to the little county lord.

The three of them came to the town and entered the Juxian Hotel, and the shopkeeper stood up from behind the counter to say hello. Very refreshingly, let the guy bring cooked spiced beef, braised pork knuckle. Pig ears, boiled fat intestines.

The three of them bought tofu, bean sprouts, raw beef, pork, and an old hen in Zhenshan.

Back in front of the vegetable garden, Lin Zhu went to get potatoes, carrots, and green radishes, and beans that were still fresh in the vegetable cellar. Old eggplant, gourds. Chinese cabbage, spinach, coriander, in short, a big basket.

Li Zhushan, who was carrying a lot of meat in his hand, was waiting outside the gate of the vegetable garden, and saw that she was carrying a large basket of vegetables with great difficulty, so he hurriedly took it.

Lin Zhu said, "Brother Dashan, you have mentioned too much, I will carry this basket with Sister Jiu'er." ”

Li Zhushan hurriedly hid the basket behind him and said, "Okay, just follow the two of you." ”

Jiu'er smiled and pulled the Lin plant and said, "Zhu'er." Brother Dashan is very energetic. Just let him carry it. ”

She knew if it was just her. Li Zhushan must not be so personable.

The three of them returned to Xiezhuang Pit, Lin Yunlin Duo was really capable, and he had already baked a few thin and soft cakes.

Mei Jiugong walked around outside the kitchen, seemingly supervising.

Four women huddled in the large kitchen. We discussed what to cook. Let's talk about it. They all unanimously decided to do what Lin said.

Lin Yun and Lin Duo usually don't see any meat, and the only few times they only eat it and forget what they look like. Jiu'er usually just cooks according to Young Master Jin Zhen's hobby. In order not to forget the national shame and family hatred, Young Master Jin Zhen usually eats very simply. When a few people had to eat together, Mei Jiugong took charge of the spoon himself.

"That means I'm going to cook the meal today, and I'm the chef."

Lin Zhu said this, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart. She doesn't usually cook much, let alone such a high-end one.

But I have never seen a pig walk, and pork has always been eaten. I think she was a foodie in her previous life, not to mention anything else, the signature dishes in the restaurant are all over the place.

If you want to make a table of dishes, it is nothing more than half cold and half hot dishes. There should be no problem with cold dishes, and a few hot dishes are enough.

Who let her see more?

She rolled up her sleeves, tied her apron, and said, "Since it's up to me to do it, the eldest sister and the second sister can go out for a walk, and Sister Jiu'er can stay and help me." You know your stuff well. ”

Since people trust themselves so much, they have to behave well. Three women in one play, four women together, you say a word, you will make her lose her opinion.

The four women were discussing the preparation of meals in the kitchen, and Li Zhushan had already helped to light the stove and add tea in the house. The room was getting hot.

Jin Xiaoguang took off his clothes outside, got up and walked slowly in the house.

Young Master Jin Zhen's room is elegantly furnished, and every piece of furniture is very exquisite. The main attraction is the one-person-tall black and red bookcase, which houses a variety of thread-bound books.

Among them are also poems written by Young Master Jin Zhen himself. He found a customized one, took it out and flipped it over, and said, "Brother Jin is really a ghost, these poems can be published in a booklet." ”

Young Master Jin Zhen's face flushed, and he said very modestly: "Let Xiao Guangjian smile, just copy at will, copy." It's all plagiarism. ”

He is very afraid that what he writes will be emotional and will reveal his identity, especially after knowing Yan Wuwu Jin Xiaoguang, so he generally plagiarizes his predecessors, sometimes just modifying a few words, or completely imitating.

Jin Xiaoguang smiled and said, "It's already rare." It is said that there is a large set of articles in the world, and it will be seen if you will be able to set it. ”

After speaking, he stuffed the thin books into the bookshelf, but saw a thin band of red silk threads woven behind a row of books, which was angular, and looked a little familiar. He pretended to go and draw another one, and pulled out the tape, but instead brought out a piece of crystal clear jade, carved into the shape of a flying phoenix.

The jade quality is very good, and the carving is even more exquisite.

In particular, the phoenix's tail flutters and every feather can be seen clearly. Even the tail of the phoenix still flashes with a faint flush, which is very natural. It's like a halo.

This phoenix-shaped jade is very familiar, where have you seen it? And this jade quality is very special, crystal clear jade is very clear but with a slight flush, it is from a whole piece of jade.

After watching it for a while, Jin Xiaoguang sat back at the table and started chatting.

After a while, Jiu'er brought the meal.

The staple food is pancakes. Main course. The cold ones are: spicy wine and meat, red oil ears, cold elbows, cold carrots, bean sprouts and spinach, and cold beans. Hot ones are: stir-fried beef with cumin, stir-fried pork slices with gourd strips, vinegared cabbage, hot and sour potatoes, stir-fried beans, mapo tofu.

Although the taste is not very authentic, it looks like it has a lot of color and flavor.

Young Master Jin Zhen asked strangely, "Jiu'er, who did this?" It's the same as the one in the restaurant, it must not be you. ”

Jiu'er said with a smile: "The young master has fiery eyes. The slave has the ability to do this. It's all made of plants. ”

"Zhu'er has this craft?" Yan Wuwu was even more strange, her eyes looked out and said, "I haven't seen her do anything before." You said she was okay to cook a home-cooked meal, but so would she be on the table? Jiu'er, are you sure she did it? ”

"Definitely, Carefree Child." Jiu'er smiled and said, "These dishes are all made by her, and there are spare, saying that if it is not enough, add more." ”

"Incredible." Yan Wuwu shook his head and smiled smugly.

It's a matter of pride that my little maid has this ability.

Jin Xiaoguang picked up the chopsticks and said, "This color and fragrance are good, but I don't know how it tastes?" ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of spicy beef and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and said, "Yes, it's numb and spicy, fresh and fragrant." Brother Jin is worry-free, you can taste it. You also eat the book and ink. ”

Seeing that everyone had picked up the chopsticks, Young Master Jin Zhen picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's serve one first." For the brother, this poor courtyard, although it cannot be compared with the Yanfu Hou Mansion, but when the worry-free Xiaoguang and Shumo think of being a brother, they will be waiting for the brother at any time. I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but the little wine and meat are enough. ”

Jin Xiaoguang boldly picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses, drank it all, put down the wine glass and seemed to say unintentionally: "We have been here for so long, and I don't know what happened to Mingzhu?" It's better to have a chance that day, and the younger brother will also invite Mingzhu to come over for a gathering. ”

Yan Wuwu was stunned, randomly changed into a joking look, and hurriedly said: "Okay, this depends on Xiaoguang, I don't have the ability to do this, little brother." ”

Jin Xiaoguang glanced at Young Master Jin Zhen and said, "This is not difficult, but I don't know if Brother Jin is convenient or not." ”

What do you mean? Young Master Jin Zhen said with a consistent gentleness on his soft face: "Convenient, as long as it is the person brought by the worry-free Xiaoguang, it is convenient." ”

I was very depressed, and I didn't show any special relationship with Sima Mingzhu along the way, and Sima Mingzhu basically played extraordinary. Did he see the clues?

Yan Wuwu is also very strange, no matter whether Young Master Jin Zhen guesses Sima Mingzhu's identity or not, Jin Xiaoguang should know best. As a princess, Sima Mingzhu can't go to any people's house casually.

Jin Xiaoguang said: "Okay, the younger brother will bring Miss Mingzhu over another day." She always doesn't go out at home, and she is also bored. ”

Young Master Jin Zhen said again and again: "I must wait for my brother, I must wait." What does Miss Mingzhu like to eat, Xiaoguang said to listen to it and prepare it for her brother. ”

said that his face was full of expectation, obviously revealing his infinite admiration for Sima Mingzhu.

Since Jin Xiaoguang dared to say this, he must have discovered something. Just don't pretend, Sima Mingzhu is overwhelmed by the country and the city, and it is normal for people to admire her. On the contrary, if you continue to disguise, it will seem to be covered. (To be continued......)
