Tong Ran accepted her scrutiny with a smile.

The two men stood in the middle of the ground staring wide-eyed.

Master Jiang didn't know why, and he was still there to advocate his wise decision:

"Because you and Tong Sigongzi are both from Fengzhou, they are both fellow villagers and old acquaintances for many years, it is more suitable for Tong Sigongzi to assist you, it is better than temporarily grabbing someone for you to be at ease by your side."

"I'd rather you catch one for me temporarily." Su Miao looked at him, said with a displeased face, pointed her finger at Tong Ran's face, and said to Master Jiang, "Don't you know, I am enemies with him!" ”

"It's not serious to say 'enemy' when you say it." Without waiting for Master Jiang to make an expression, Tong Ran said first, and pressed down Su Miao's cocked fingers with a fan, "Don't point your fingers at people, it's too uneducated." ”

"What kind of education do I talk to you about an enemy, I didn't go up directly and slap you, it's enough to be educated." Su Miaopi said with a smile.

Tong Ran glanced at her speechlessly and looked at Master Jiang:

"Lord Jiang, we should be talking about tonight's state banquet now, right?"

"What to talk about, what is there to talk about, since you are here to be an assistant, you must understand, I am the chef tonight, you have to do whatever I ask you to do, if you mess up for me, I will say that you are making trouble for me, and the responsibility is all on your shoulder, and you messed up the state banquet, do you understand how big the responsibility is?" Su Miao said to him in a cool tone with raised eyebrows.

Tong Ran looked at her for a while, and smiled: "It's only been a few days, and you're even more unreasonable!" ”

"Do I have to reason with a shameless person like you?" Su Miao snorted coldly.

Tong Ran looked helpless, folding the fan and shaking, unwilling to entangle with her anymore.

Master Jiang looked at Su Miao, then at Tong Ran, and asked puzzledly:

"Two, what kind of enmity is there?"

"Father's revenge." Su Miao said in a flat voice.

"Your father died of illness, what does it matter to me?" Tong Ran retorted with a smile and tears.

"My dad died of illness because you framed him."

"I didn't frame me, the business was originally a trick on me, it was your Pinxian Lou who made a mistake and was exploited, you don't reflect on it but blindly blame others for taking advantage of the loophole, are you a complaining woman?" Tong Ran pursed his lips and said contemptuously.

"Say whatever you want, anyway, I don't share the sky with you!" Su Miao emphasized, paused, and continued firmly, "Now I don't have a suitable candidate at hand, you can be an assistant, but what I ask you to do tonight, you have to do something for me, if you have bad intentions and make trouble behind your back, or take it upon yourself not to obey my arrangement and mess up the state banquet, don't blame me for being unkind to you." I don't care if you're a young master, I've never been a cook in a restaurant before, since you want to be an assistant, give me the appearance of being an assistant, understand? ”

Tong Ran frowned, looked at her with a smile, paused, and responded:

"Yes."

"Good." Su Miao nodded, looking at the other one who was still standing at the base of the wall, "You seem to be Aji in Baikui Tower?" ”

"The small one is from Baikuilou, and his name is Aji."

It's not that Su Miao has a good memory, but Aji is the first mixed-race child Su Miao has seen in Yue Liang Kingdom, although Yue Liang Guo's genes are relatively strong, but his silhouette is obviously deeper than that of his natives, the so-called thick face outline, as well as the combination of Western and Western dishes in his hand, made a deep impression on Su Miao.

"You seem to know how to cook Corsi national food."

"Yes, the little one has learned Corsi cuisine before." Aggie replied honestly that he was a man of few words, who didn't seem to be very talkative, and who looked a little cringe.

Su Miao nodded, glanced at Tong Ran, and said to Aji:

"Looks like you're more useful than he is."

Obviously in order to belittle him, he deliberately elevated the other one, Tong Ran disagreed, snorted from his nose, and didn't answer the question, he wouldn't be able to compete with a woman.

Su Miao also ignored him anymore and asked Master Jiang, "What time does it start at night?" What kind of person is the chef on the other side? ”

"I haven't seen it either." Seeing the details of her question, Lord Jiang looked empty, "I only heard that it is the imperial chef in the palace of the Kosi Kingdom, and my Royal Highness the King of Yangxiang inquired for me, saying that the man is in his thirties, although he is young, but his skills are good, and the king of the Kosi Kingdom likes him very much, and this time he brought it out because he was afraid that the eldest prince and princess would not adapt to the water and soil, and he would not be used to eating the things of our Yueliang Kingdom, because he was afraid that he would not be used to it, and he also brought a lot of food from the Kosi Kingdom." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Xiang? His Royal Highness the King of Xiang still cares about this? Su Miaohu asked suspiciously.

"It's not His Royal Highness the King of Xiang, His Royal Highness the King of Xiang is friendly with the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Kosi, and there are many Qing guests in his house who are proficient in the culture of the Kingdom of Kosi, and some people have lived in the Kingdom of Kosi in the past, and they have a wide range of ways to the Kingdom of Kosi, so that those people can inquire in private and get the news faster." Master Jiang explained.

"Huh? I thought that His Royal Highness King Xiang was the dean of the academy who liked to read, and it turned out that he could also do diplomacy. Su Miao said in surprise.

"His Royal Highness the King of Xiang has visited many countries, don't you know? Although he is not in good health, his language talent is the most outstanding among the princes, proficient in Kosi Chinese, Qizhi Chinese and many local dialects of Yue Liangguo, and his foreign communication skills are very strong, and he has been to both Kosi and Qizhi countries. Tong Ran said in a tone that mocked Su Miao's long hair and short knowledge.

Su Miao really hadn't heard of it, she was not very enthusiastic about national affairs before coming to Liangdu, but after coming to Liangdu, she slowly began to understand, she always thought that Liang Xiao was an idle prince who only loved to read and pastime and occasionally teach students outside the court, and then something happened Although she felt that he was not so simple, but she didn't expect Liang Xiao to have this ability, it turned out that he was a diplomat who was weak and loved to catch fire.

"Miss Su, let's stay away and get down to business." Seeing that the two of them were talking farther and farther, Master Jiang reminded them loudly.

"Oh, by the way, the other chef, what are you good at?" Su Miao asked.

"Good at cooking Corsi national food." Master Jiang replied solemnly.

Su Miao looked at him with an indifferent expression, not thinking that this kind of deliberate funny was funny.

"I didn't find out what I was good at." Master Jiang said with a dry smile, "There is a little bit in tonight's game, although we use the ingredients of the Kosi country, but we are from the Yueliang country, and the state banquet must reflect the characteristics of our Yueliang country, of course, you can't make the dishes of the Kosi country." In short, Miss Su, you must reflect the advantages of Yueliangguo's food, so that the people of Kosi can be impressed by the deep food culture of our Yueliangguo! His tone suddenly became impassioned, as if he was about to go to war.

"It depends." Su Miao resisted the desire to roll her eyes, and said calmly, and finally compromised in Lord Jiang's infinite longing eyes, and pouted, "I'll try my best!" ”

"Good! I'm relieved to have your words! Master Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.

"Is there anything about me that makes you feel uneasy?" Su Miao squinted at him and asked coldly.

I am most worried about your free play and willful laziness!

Of course, Master Jiang didn't say this, lest she pick her son and leave.

"Today's dinner is in Chang'an Palace, for your competition, Chang'an Palace specially vacated a small kitchen, for you and the other party's imperial chef in a kitchen, you don't have to do it, right?" Master Jiang asked.

"It's okay." Su Miao replied.

"It's the three main dishes in the middle, and the specific ingredients to use are decided by the other party, and we don't know at present, so we can only see how well you play on the spot, which shouldn't be a problem for you. After the three dishes are served, you and the other party's imperial chef will be invited to Chang'an Palace to listen to the results of the competition, and don't forget to change your clothes first. Master Jiang reminded, "The state banquet will begin, and you will enter the palace at two o'clock, don't be late." ”

"Hmm." Su Miao replied absentmindedly, she was more concerned about the evaluation question, "Who will score?" ”

"Corsi is the eldest prince, the princess, their duke, and a baroness who serves the princess, and in order to correspond to them, our country is the emperor, the concubine, the prince of Rui, and the eldest princess of Jingyang."

"What's the point of this kind of evaluation without a third party?" Su Miao pursed her lips, "Everyone will choose their own country." ”

"You don't understand this, the more occasions like this, the more you dare not expose your selfishness, and it is easy for the other party to question your partiality, so this kind of competition is the fairest." Master Jiang said.

"Didn't you say that a chef who can impress his opponent is a good chef?" Tong Ran shook the folding fan and said with a smile.

Su Miao glanced at him, moved to the side, moved away from him, and said with a disgusted expression:

"Don't fan me here, you're not cold, I'm cold!"

The folding fan in Tong Ran's hand stopped, glanced at her, and suddenly raised the fan and slapped it twice in her direction.

Su Miao's face darkened.

Master Jiang looked at her, and then at Tong Ran, whose expression on his face had obviously become very cool, and suddenly began to question his decision, he thought uneasily, if the little young master knew that he had pinched these two people together, would the little young master kill him?

…… It's kind of scary!

After listening to the precautions for the evening, Su Miao left Lord Jiang's house and wanted to go back to Xue Minglou. There is not much time left, and it is estimated that when she returns to Xue Minglou, she will be ready to enter the palace.

Tong Ran followed her and followed her for a while, Su Miao found that he was not going in this direction but following her, she turned her head and asked with a dark face:

"Why are you following me?"

"I can't let you go back alone, and send a woman back to her residence safely, that's what a man should do." Tong Ran shook the folding fan and said with a smile.

Su Miao glared at him with a dark face, and said dryly:

"Why should I listen to you say such ridiculous things in a condescending tone, I don't need you to send it, where did you come from, where did you go back, if you let Xiao Weiwei see it, he might think I'm having an affair and will misunderstand me."

Although Tong Ran didn't understand what an "affair" was, he guessed it up and down, and when he heard her mention the aftertaste, a dark color flashed in his eyes, shaking a folding fan, and asked in a casual voice:

"You and him, set a date?"

"Probably next March." Su Miao replied lightly.

"No regrets?"

"Why should I regret it?" Su Miao became angry again because of his problem, and his words seemed to be cursing her for an unhappy marriage, which annoyed her.

"A person of your temperament is not suitable for a relationship with the royal family, it is better to take a step back, join forces with me, and open up a new world among the people." Tong Ran shook the red sandalwood fracture fan, looked at her, seemed to be smiling, and said in a light tone, "He is involved too much, and he is carrying too much, and if you have something to do with him, you will regret it sooner or later." ”

"I'm leaving, if I don't leave, I'm going to whip you!" Su Miao said with a dark face, said hard, turned around, and walked away without looking back.

Tong Ran looked at her back, a pair of pale eyes were gloomy, and the folding fan in his hand snapped shut. He curled the corners of his lips and stared at her back with cold eyes. It's not so pleasant to be despised from beginning to end, to be despised thoroughly!

Tong Fei suddenly hurried over, walked to his side, and whispered in his ear:

"Si Shao, the news from the Wei Mansion that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in Lunan, and the murder was committed by a group of unidentified people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured and in a coma, and he has secretly returned."

Tong Ran's eyes condensed slightly, his heart sank, and after a pause, he turned around and hurriedly walked in another direction.

……

When Su Miao returned to Xue Minglou, Hui Wei had already brought the clothes she was going to wear when she was facing the saint.

The last time she entered the palace, her clothes were purchased for her by Aftertaste, although they met the standards for entering the palace, but because of Aftertaste's preferences and Su Miao's own identity, they were still relatively low-key. This time, the clothes came out of the palace, from the Shangyi Bureau, which specializes in making clothes for the royal family, and I don't know if she wants to go out for the sake of the country's "war", this time the clothes are very gorgeous, the green sprinkled gold round neck dress, which is decorated with shiny beads, dazzling to look at, and the matching jade gilt dragonfly head face, which is even more extravagant and gorgeous.

Su Miao looked at her skirt for a long time, tilted her head, and said in surprise:

"I'm just going to cook, not a blind date, right?"

"This means that the emperor has finally recognized your identity, our family." Aftertaste stood behind her, looked at her in front of the mirror and compared her clothes, and said, "It's beautiful, take it with you, and change it when you face the saint." ”

Su Miao nodded, although the clothes were exaggerated, but the meeting of the saint at night was indeed a major scene, and in front of foreign missions, she should be more gorgeous than usual.

"Who is the assistant that Master Jiang arranged for you?" The aftertaste was originally just a casual question.

"One is Aji from Baikui Tower, the last time you saw it in Baikui Tower, that half-breed from the Corsi Kingdom." Su Miao stared at the jewelry in the makeup box and replied.

"What about the other one?"

"Tong Ran." Su Miao said casually.

"Who?" The aftertaste of the face brushed green, and the question was repeated.

"Tong Ran."

"Jiang Zhiyuan's assistant to you is Tong Ran?" There was a dangerous light in the aftertaste's eyes, and he looked at her with a calm face and asked.

"Hmm." Su Miao nodded, her attention was still on the box of jewelry, and she snorted.

The aftertaste is gloomy.

Jiang Zhiyuan, there is you!

At that time, Lord Jiang, who was urging people to prepare for the dinner in the imperial dining room, suddenly sneezed, and then a cold spine and goosebumps arose...... (To be continued.) )
