Ji Hongye smiled and said very softly: "Since the beginning of my dynasty, many people have borrowed cooks from the saint. During the Jiayu period, there was a scholar surnamed Li, because the old mother of the ancient years suffered from spleen and stomach disharmony and couldn't eat anything, so he borrowed the imperial kitchen. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was interested by what he said, and she asked curiously: "Since you are a scholar, you haven't gained fame." ”

"Yes, there is no fame in Yijie Buyi. ”

"Then how did he face the saint?"

"At that time, if Daning Buyi wanted to face the saint, it was the same as now, and it was only when all the people petitioned. Li Shusheng made a big kite in order for Emperor Jiayu to see his wish. ”

"It's smart enough. ”

Emperor Jiayu was grateful for his pure filial piety, so he sent him an imperial kitchen. After three years, when the front of the temple was a saint, Zhuang Yuanlang brought a cook to the temple. ”

Nalan Jinxiu suddenly became radiant, and she said with a smile: "But that scholar surnamed Li won the top prize?"

"It's him. His mother was suffering from an incurable disease, and he thought of her life's hard work and the rough food she ate, so he wanted her to taste the delicacies of the world. After his mother died, after the filial piety period, he participated in the imperial examination, but he did not expect to win the championship in one fell swoop. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "That scholar surnamed Li is Li Huiren, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties?"

Ji Hongye looked at her with appreciation: "You still know Li Huiren?"

"Of course I do. He was an honest and fair official, had assisted three generations of kings, and was worthy of the Taimiao after his death, and was the only person in Daning who served as the prime minister and the first assistant of the cabinet. ”

Ji Hongye stretched out his hand and rubbed her forehead, and praised: "The little girl's family knows a lot. ”

Actually, that's all Nalan Jinxiu knows, and when she was in Taifu's mansion, Daddy told her. She once didn't dare to think of any memories of the Taifu Mansion, because every time she would evoke infinite sadness and melancholy.

Now that she has a third brother, although those pasts are still clearly in her memory, they just don't make her feel scared anymore. She raised her head, looked at him with a smile, and said slowly: "I've been married to you for several months, and I'm already pregnant, where is the little girl?"

Ji Hongye raised his eyebrows slightly, and he looked like he was so neat, and he said meaningfully: "I said that you are a little girl, you, just, yes." ”

His tone is reverie, and his expression is even more so. Nalan Jinxiu suddenly remembered that between the beds, he always called her a little girl...... Her cheeks turned completely red in an instant, and even her ears and neck were stained red.

"Ah Jin, what's wrong with you, what did you think, why did you blush like this?" Ji Hongye's expression was as calm as ever.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that under his calm and gentle face, there was a black heart, she looked at him angrily, and actually stammered: "You, you did it on purpose." ”

"What?" Ji Hongye looked innocent, and then approached her very closely, and whispered: "I'm just curious what Madame has thought, why don't you talk about it for your husband?"

His breath fluttered softly on her neck, causing a small layer of goosebumps. She suddenly discovered that her third brother was serious on the surface, but he was so bad in his bones that he couldn't do it, was he tempting her now?

"You stay away from me!" Nalan Jinxiu finally couldn't stand his gaze and turned her cheeks to the other side.

Ji Hongye couldn't hold back a smile and sat back in his place, but he didn't stare at her.

Without the oppression of his eyes, Nalan Jinxiu felt a lot more comfortable, she turned her head and said to him: "Third brother, isn't this not good? Li Huiren begged for the imperial kitchen for his mother for filial piety, if you begged for me, would others say that you are a good woman?"

"If anyone likes to say it, let them say it. Ji Hongye didn't think so, he felt that there was nothing wrong with saying this.

"Aren't you afraid of being copied by ginseng?"

"I'm asking for a chef for my wife, and I'm not out there. ”

"But don't you sages say ......"

Ji Hongye put a piece of pineapple meat on her plate and said lightly, "Eat it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu had forced herself to eat a lot of things just now, and now she really couldn't eat it, and she couldn't eat a bite. She looked at him pitifully and pouted: "Third brother, don't let me eat it, I'm really going to vomit if I eat it again." Also, don't look for an imperial chef for me, you're not afraid of what others say, I'm afraid. ”

"Then I'll find you a new cook. ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, although she knew that she had a bad appetite, and it was not a cook's relationship. But if she doesn't want it again, the third brother will be angry, and maybe she will really get the imperial kitchen when the time comes.

A royal chef is nothing, but I am afraid that when the time comes, my grandmother and father will think that she is arrogant, then she may not be able to wash herself by jumping into the Yellow River. There are also those trouble-loving aunts in the backyard, although they are safe with her now, who knows if they will blow the wind on their father's pillow.

Although she didn't expect much from the third brother to find her a cook. But when she actually ate the dishes made by the new chef two days later, she found that her anorexia was really cured.

"What did you do for lunch in the kitchenette? Nalan Jinxiu cleaned his hands while looking out through the bead curtain.

"Emerald white jade shrimp and crispy honey porridge. Ruyi took a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and the whole person was also smiling. Madame's appetite is good, isn't she going to be happy?

"Didn't want to eat shrimp. ”

"Master Lu did it, you really don't want to taste it?" Ruyi felt that now that Mrs. heard the three words of master, it was impossible to control her curiosity.

"Then I'll try it reluctantly. "Nalan Jinxiu really doesn't want to eat shrimp, but when I see it, I feel that it looks like this, and it is really a loss if I don't taste it. She first sandwiched a green bean with a shrimp as green as jade on top and ate it, and found that the taste was crispy and there was a little glutinous inside, so she couldn't help but sandwich a few more.

"Don't just eat green beans, try shrimp. ”

Ruyi put one on her plate, Nalan Jinxiu didn't think it was delicious, but it really didn't smell fishy. She also knows that pregnant women should eat more shrimp, otherwise they will have cramps in the late pregnancy, but after pregnancy, she always feels that the shrimp have an inexplicable fishy smell, which is okay.

"I don't know how Master Lu handled it, the shrimp is not fishy, and the color of the green beans is more gorgeous than usual. Nalan Jinxiu scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth.

"Everything for you is the freshest, and the shrimp are still alive before they are put into the pot. ”

"When you say that, I lose my appetite. ”

Ruyi quickly shut up, shifted the topic to the porridge again, and said mysteriously: "Don't you realize that today's porridge is different?"

Nalan Jinxiu just felt that the rice was attractive, and after eating, her mouth was fragrant, and she didn't notice any difference. After being reminded by Ruyi, she looked down and saw that the rice used today seemed to be different, glowing with a faint green, like beautiful jade. She looked at Ruyi's smug look and asked, "Did you add something to the japonica rice?"

"It's not. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was clear and said with a smile: "That's the use of bi terrier rice." ”

"Do you even know this?" Ruyi originally wanted to show off, but he didn't want Nalan Jinxiu to know. The little girl pursed her lips and whispered, "The slave has grown so big, and she has never seen green rice." ”

Nalan Jinxiu has also eaten it before, and it was rewarded by the saint to Daddy. Bijing rice is produced in foreign countries, and it is extremely rare in Ningguo, even if a few enter Jinling, it has always been sent to the palace as a tribute, and very few have flowed into the people. It's not surprising that Ruyi hasn't seen it.

"Japonica rice is indeed suitable for pregnant women, but I don't know where this rice comes from?"

"The slave doesn't know, anyway, Master Lu pulled a list, there are a lot of rare ingredients in it, all of which were found by the third master. ”

Nalan Jinxiu understood that although japonica rice was rare, it was not difficult for the Ji family, whose businesses were all over the place, to find it. The third brother usually doesn't pay much attention to these, if it weren't for her, it would be impossible to work so hard. Thinking of this, her heart floated with sweetness again.

"The third master is really attentive to you, and the first thing he does when he comes back every day is to call the slave and maid to him and ask you what you have done that day. ”

"So you've said it all?"

"Of course, you are pregnant now, and you don't listen to anyone except the third master, don't I want to tell you 1510? ”

Nalan Jinxiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said angrily: "You follow me like a shadow every day, don't you allow me to instruct you, then I won't suffer a lot." ”

Ruyi sighed and said aggrievedly: "Sister Jixiang is also like a shadow, and the slave has never seen you deliberately instruct her." ”

Speaking of auspiciousness, Nalan Jinxiu had even more doubts in his heart. This girl doesn't know what's wrong, she looks like she can't give up every day, and she is absent-minded when she is asked to do things. If it weren't for Nalan Jinxiu knowing that she had lost her relatives a long time ago, she would have thought that something had happened to her family.

"I'm full, you ask Jixiang to go to the room to find me. Nalan Jinxiu got up and went to the bedroom, and decided to talk to Jixiang, some things can't be delayed, otherwise something big will definitely happen.

Jixiang didn't answer Nalan Jinxiu's question truthfully as usual, she squeaked and whined for a long time, and couldn't even say a complete sentence. Only to plop down on his knees, hang his head, and keep shedding tears.

"Jixiang, you and I are a master and servant, if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, I will not ignore them. "Nalan Jinxiu knew that something must be wrong.

"Madam, the slave maid has long had an idea in her heart, but she has never dared to say it. "The auspicious head hangs lower.

"What do you think? ”

Jixiang raised his hands above his head, and then knelt on the ground, looking serious and pious: "Mrs. is pregnant and can't serve, the old lady and the old man have the heart to take a concubine for the third master, and the slave is willing to ......"
