Walking on the street, Shen Lian picked up a folding fan, which attracted the favor of many young girls.

But she ignored it and walked straight into a medicinal herb shop.

The women secretly regretted for a while, such a breezy and high-spirited character.

Shen Lian walked to the counter of the medicinal herb shop and handed a list to the shopkeeper; "The shopkeeper is tired of grabbing medicine under it, and there are two catties above."

The shopkeeper saw that this person was not like a ruffian in the mountains, he looked expensive and not pitiful, so he didn't dare to slack off and grabbed the medicine himself.

Seeing this, Shen Lian smiled with satisfaction and sat on the chair by himself.

Xiao Er on the side got the eyes of the shopkeeper, and hurriedly went to make a cup of tea and sent it over.

Shen Lian lifted the lid, took a sip, took out a little broken silver from his sleeve, rewarded Xiao Si, and said: "I'm tired of the little brother, I don't know if I can bring some of your family's Liedang, Epimedium weed, Ulmus vulgaris, and Salvia for me to see."

Although Xiao Si wanted to make money, he was slightly embarrassed, and looked at the shopkeeper: "This ......" The shopkeeper also looked at Shen Lian, and only listened to Shen Lian's sincere words: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, I don't have any other intentions, but this time the medicine is for the officials to eat, so the master of the family told me to be cautious, just look at the finished product, and have no other intentions."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, but he didn't expect this person's demeanor to be a subordinate, and how noble the master should be, so he agreed.

Xiao Si received the reward and took it.

Shen Lian sniffed the medicinal herbs carefully, but said, "But it's a good cargo."

Xiao Si couldn't help but boast: "Of course, only my family's medicine is the most authentic within a few miles of this radius."

Shen Lian smiled.

She bought so many medicines, on the one hand, with the mentality of giving it a try, and on the other hand, because she wanted to hide people's eyes.

The prince is a smart man, and if he is not careful, he may not be able to hide it.

East Palace.

The prince looked at the medicinal herbs sent, all of them were packed in batches, and there were marks on them, which ones should be drunk and when, which ones were drunk and what was the food that was compatible with them, all of them were available.

She was careful, the prince thought.

"Who's sending it?" The prince held the note in his hand and asked casually as he read it.

"When I go back to the prince, he looks like a scholar in green clothes and white clothes, about eighteen or nineteen years old."

The guard replied, clasping his hands into fists.

"Reader? Eighteen or nineteen? The prince was a little puzzled, the last time he checked Shen Lian, he didn't find such a person beside her, could it be Shen An? It doesn't make sense, if it's Shen An, how can the guards not know it.

Suddenly, flipping and turning, the prince waved his hand and motioned for him to go down, and the guard received the order and strode away.

After confirming with his own eyes that the guards had gone out, the prince slowly pulled out a small paper bag wrapped in medicinal herbs.

There is a line of words mixed in it: the medicine is taken together with the medicine.

Obviously, those sparse particles are the medicine.

The prince realized that he had indeed found the wrong person.

This Shen Lian is indeed reliable and can conspire.

When Shen Lian returned home, dusk had passed, and the sky had gradually darkened.

Shen Lian walked into the house and found that Shen Linhai was sitting on the upper seat, and it was not the second lady next to him, but Liu Yuxiu! Xia Liang and Su Mei were kneeling down.

Her eyebrows became a little angry, and she said loudly, "I'm back."

When Liu Yuxiu heard the prestige, she looked anxious: "Sister, you are finally back, we are all worried about you, and we thought you were going to... I won't be able to go home at night. ”

Shen Lian saw that she was full of worries, and she was full of nausea inside, but she still smiled and said: "Why, I went outside to buy some medicinal herbs for the queen mother and made my sister so worried, it really shouldn't be, but don't worry, I have the queen mother's Yu Fu to protect my body, and I will be fine."

This is the justification for saying that he went out, which made Shen Linhai want to have a seizure but nowhere to go.

"But that's not what these two minions said about my sister."

Liu Yuxiu's voice sounded again, which reminded Shen Linhai, yes, he can't attack Shen Pity, but can't he cure the two maids? So he twisted his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Even if you have thousands of reasons, but these two maids are not serious, the master's questions are not true, I don't know the severity, it is simply unseemly, pull me ......" Shen Linhai wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Shen Lian, "You are wrong, I am serving the instructions of the queen mother and the prince, and I went to buy secretly, and the mother didn't want to make extraneous branches, so I naturally had no reason to tell the two maids." ”

"You...... Hum...... Don't take the queen and the crown prince to press me. ”

"You mean you don't take the queen and the crown prince seriously?" Shen Lian sneered at the crown prince and the queen, although they were not very favored, but after all, where was their reputation, they naturally did not dare to overdo it on the surface.

So he died down and walked out.

Liu Yuxiu glared at Shen Lian viciously before leaving, as if she had committed some heinous crime.

Shen Lian helped Xia Liang and Su Mei up, the two of them were so frightened that they didn't look good, Shen Lian asked them what was wrong after comforting them, Su Mei was a little pepper, and after crying, it was bitter.

"Who knows what's wrong with the lord and Miss Biao, you suddenly came after you left, Miss Cousin didn't say that you didn't know the inspection, and you went out at night.

The slave and maid explained a few words, who knew that Miss Cousin was going to send me down, Xia Liang came to intercede for me, and was also implicated, fortunately you came back, otherwise I don't know what to do today! After hearing this, Shen Lian felt mixed feelings and felt uncomfortable, but quickly regained a firm look: "Don't worry, I will not let you be wronged in the future!" ”

The wedding date is approaching, and the second lady has been busy taking care of Shen An in the past few days, and she can't take care of Shen Lian's operation here at all.

But Shen Lian is happy to hear this.

This stepmother was too lazy to ask for it, but the younger brother who was loved by the original owner couldn't ignore it.

Shen Lian led Su Mei to the small kitchen, and listened to Su Mei's kind reminders along the way, and after a while, it was, "Miss, I am about to marry His Royal Highness the Prince, how can I give it during this period?" "Miss, everything is not proper for this big wedding, where do you have the leisure to go to the kitchen to kill time?" "Anyway, something like that...... Su Mei said tirelessly, and Shen Lian lazily coped.

Suddenly, Su Mei, who was "playing the piano" in Shen Lian's left and right ears, stopped and looked at Shen Lian with a fixed expression.

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at this Su Meimo, didn't he talk too much and have cramps? Or is it evil? Who knew that Su Mei's nose twitched and she was very moved and said, "Miss, you are really a good master."

The second monk Shen Lianzhang was puzzled: "Huh?" Who knew that Su Mei continued: "If the master next to him has already annoyed the slave and maid, but only you not only protect the slave and maid, but also are willing to listen to the slave and maid's chatter."

When Shen Lian heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and deliberately teased Su Mei with a straight face, and taught Su Mei to laugh.

Shen Lian felt that this Su Mei was indeed not stable enough, and she was more than rude, but she was sincere and loyal, although she had a pungent temperament, she was also a sensible master.

Just outside the Lord.

On the contrary, Xia Liang, who is calm and calm in the face of things, is just in the Lord.

This inside and outside **, solid as gold, it is much more difficult for others to see the stitches.

Shen Lian and Su Mei chattered all the way to the small kitchen.

Shen Lian took out the loquat she had prepared before, beckoned Su Mei to help remove the core inside, and peeled off the skin, Su Mei asked while making it: "Miss, this thing can also be made into food?" I've never seen it, alas. ”

Shen Lian gave her a look of her own experience.

She said in her heart that this thing is not just the "loquat tree in the court" mentioned by Mr. Gui Youguang, revealing that he misses his deceased wife, but loquat is a panacea in later generations.

Shen Lian didn't stop thinking about it, took out a small pot, put the pulp in it, and then added a large spoonful of caramel into it.

Since there was no such thing as 'sugar' in this era, Shen Lian had to use caramel instead of pickling for about an hour, Shen Lian opened the pot and saw that the loquat juice inside had faintly flowed out, so he added another spoonful of caramel and began to stir.

"Su Mei, you make the fire bigger."

Shen Lian instructed while stirring, "Okay Miss" Su Mei pointed a fan at the fire, making a snorting sound.

As the sun sets, the dim light hits the branches of the trees in the courtyard.

Shen Lian looked up and saw that the time was almost up, so he took the pot down.

Seeing Su Mei's tired and panting appearance, he comforted and said: "You are working the hardest today, I will go back and let the kitchen cook a few delicious dishes for you, and comfort you."
