Chapter 0102: Cooking

Back in front of the palace, Li Jilong had been waiting for Hou for a long time, and he retreated, and after Lu Fei served tea, he stood next to him and said, "Can the general find out what Cao Bin's actions are?" ”

Li Jilong nodded and said, "You guessed right, Cao Bin is indeed inquiring about your true identity, and he sent people to look around for the generals who saw you in Jiangling City back then." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Fei's heart tightened, Cao Bin was really suspicious of himself, and as soon as he made a move, it was a dead move, if he really found a bunch of people back then to identify himself, the matter would be irreparable.

Seeing that Lu Fei was frowning, Li Jilong waved his hand again and said: "But you don't have to worry too much, what he did also proves that he is not completely sure that you are the person you were that year, you still have time to resolve it, I can only help you get here, what to do next, you can ask for more blessings." ”

Lu Fei has prestige in the army, but he doesn't count as a fart in the court, without Li Jilong's power, it is almost impossible to defeat Cao Bin, so he bowed his hand and said softly: "Thank you, general, but you still have to take care of this matter." ”

Li Jilong is not stupid, he said: "If you want to fight with Cao Bin, that's your business, I don't participate, I shouldn't have heard it, remember the matter of Wu Zhoucheng, yes, I don't care what you do, don't involve me, but after the matter is done, I want to get what I want." "I remembered what Dane had said to him before: you have to use Lu Fei well, but you must always guard against him.

Lu Fei scolded secretly: You are also an old fox.

"The general is too worried, his subordinates just want to invite you to set up a banquet." Lu Feidao.

Li Jilong squinted at Lu Fei and said, "Why?" ”

"Since Cao Bin wants to use the old future to determine my identity, I can't sit idly by, I want to see these people before he gathers them, and this leader must be a general."

Li Jilong was secretly surprised when he heard this, and said: "You don't want to be the first to kill these people, let me tell you, some of these people are already in important positions in the army, and some may have entered the court, you can't come nonsense." ”

Lu Fei said with a smile: "The general is too careful, such a means of jumping off the wall in such a hurry must be the most smelly trick." ”

Li Jilong said: "Then do you want to rely on a banquet to turn hostility into a jade silk?" And have you ever thought that once these people appear at my banquet at the same time, Cao Bin will not be able to guess what my intentions are? ”

Lu Fei said: "What the general said is right, it is too conspicuous for a group of people who originally had no intersection to suddenly get together, and this matter cannot be done secretly, otherwise it will attract the suspicion of the official family and will put the general at a disadvantage." ”

Li Jilong snorted: "It's good that you know, I have heard about the matter, but you have to find out these people yourself, as for what excuse to use to meet them, I have my own opinion, okay, I'm leaving, by the way, you have to supervise the troops in the near future." ”

Lu Fei turned to the side and said, "You're going to fight?" ”

Li Jilong stood up and said: "Perhaps, tomorrow the official family will summon the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, the Front Division of the Palace, and the three envoys to discuss the matter, and it is the first time I have experienced such a big battle, you can find out those people as soon as possible." ”

"No!"

Li Jilong went out of the front of the palace, secretly rejoicing all the way, he understood what Lu Fei wanted to do, it was nothing more than to use his prestige to pull the tiger and pull the banner, bluff once, helping Lu Fei was also equivalent to helping himself, the military power can no longer be held, it is too suspicious of the officials, and the title is also because he is a relative, and the current earl position is already the highest level that a relative can seal, if he can be a privy envoy, it can also fulfill his great wish.

After getting off duty, Lu Fei asked Tie Hammer to pick out more than a dozen people from the pro-soldier capital, and monitored all the cronies around Cao Bin day and night, no matter who they met, they had to find out the background of that person one by one.

For more than a month, Qiao Niang has gradually become familiar with the life in the Lu Mansion, leading Su Niang and the two women who were rewarded in the palace will also take care of the Lu Mansion in an orderly manner, although Shou Bo is old, but in the end he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield, his spirit is not much worse than that of young people, he is a good hand at doing everything inside and out, and people can't be idle, Su Niang is also happy with the current situation, she doesn't expect to be the same as the two ladies, today's life is a day and a place compared to her original days, and Lu Fei has been with her for so long, She even changed from dependence at the beginning of her heart to admiration, she liked to see Lu Fei, liked to watch him eat the food he made with his own hands, even he was not satisfied with himself, he never complained in front of him, and because of this, she was trying to learn to make every dish.

Helan Mountain is thousands of miles away from Bianliang, there is no vast grassland, no herds of cattle and sheep, there is no vigorous pastoral song, and there is no magnificence of cattle and sheep in the wind and grass, except for Lu Fei, she has lost all her relatives, such a long time, the whole person has become depressed, it is difficult to see the carefree innocence on the beautiful face, and the laughter and laughter have become very few, very little, but in front of Lu Fei, she tried her best to pretend to be happy.

Lu Fei was on duty, and Shou Bo stepped forward to take the reins and lead him to the stable.

Come to the hall to see, the two maids from the teaching workshop are busy, washing, scrubbing, meticulous, these days, Lu Fei looks at it, how much can see some signs, these two women's fine skin and tender meat, although the material of the clothing is not very good, but always dressed neatly, speech and demeanor are also Zhou Zheng decent, at first glance, he grew up in the family of an official eunuch since he was a child, once Lu Fei asked casually, sure enough, he guessed correctly, these two people are both former offenders, one is the daughter of a former head of the household department of the Great Zhou Dynasty surnamed Huang, twenty-one years old, named Huang Rong, four years ago, because her father was greedy for ink in the household department, he was raided by Emperor Chai Rong of Zhou, all the men were on the side, and the female dependents were thrown into the teaching department, the old ones went to do chores, and the young ones became the playthings of the officialdom; The other is Tian Tian, nineteen years old, who fought in Longzhou City a few months ago, and the daughter of Tian Renlang, the former envoy of Gyeongju, just because Dai Dashuai died on the front line, Tian Renlang was beheaded inexplicably, and all the family members of the Tian family became criminals.

Every woman with outstanding looks but low status has an unbearable past behind her, Huang Rong was thrown into the Jiaofang Division when she was about to get married when she was seventeen years old, and she stayed for four years, suffering humiliation and cold eyes, Tian Tian had a good life, she was rewarded to Lu Fei just after being escorted to Beijing, and it was too late to be enslaved, but when she entered the Lu Mansion, their identity was still slaves, which was decreed by the emperor, without the grace of the Holy Decree, they were slaves all their lives, even if Lu Fei wanted to give them a good background, it was impossible.

Lu Fei doesn't care if they are sent by the emperor to monitor him, it is fate to be able to enter the Lu Mansion, fortunately, there are not many people in the Lu Mansion, and they don't have much heavy work to do, but the light work does not let them be idle for a while, these women are all from good backgrounds, they are literate and hyphenated since childhood, and their thinking is definitely more complicated than that of simple Su Niang and Qiao Niang, and they think a lot, if they don't let them do some work, how should they spend this day.

As soon as Tian Tian and Huang Rong saw Lu Fei coming to the hall, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing, stood there respectfully, and said softly: "Lang Jun has returned home!" ”

Lu Fei nodded and said to Tian Tian: "It's getting dark, why don't you take the lamp, big lady." ”

Tian Tian said: "Hui Langjun, the slave maid immediately took the lamp, the eldest lady has been sitting by the lake for a day, the second lady has been accompanying her, and Sister Su Niang has been in the kitchen all afternoon. ”

As soon as she heard that Heiyun was sitting by the lake again, she was homesick again, and she was about to walk towards the backyard at the moment, but she turned around after walking a few steps and said to the two slaves: "Okay, don't wipe it, the paint has been wiped off for you, clean it up, and prepare dinner." ”

"Yes, Lang Jun!" The two maids looked at each other and smiled, after more than ten days of getting along, the new master was very kind to them, there was no arrogance, and the two of them didn't know whether to hate the emperor for ruining their family or to thank the emperor for giving them a good home.

Lu Fei did not go to the backyard immediately after the order, but ran to the gatehouse at the gate, and Shou Bo was about to patrol the courtyard with a lantern as usual.

Lu Fei said: "Uncle Shou, you can go on a trip, go to the street and help me order a tent utensils, and let them deliver it tonight, go and come back quickly, wait for you to have dinner."

Shou Bo said: "Okay, I'll go now." ”

Speaking of eating, Lu Fei also had a croaking in his stomach, he ran to the barracks today and didn't eat lunch, so he took a detour to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

As soon as he arrived at the kitchen door, he heard a crisp sound inside, followed by Su Niang's scream, he hurriedly sped up his pace and rushed in, the kitchen stove was steaming, Su Niang was standing on the side of the dish with her hands covered, a few pieces of broken porcelain under her feet, her face was red and her ears were red, and she was drenched in sweat.

"What's wrong?" Lu Fei stepped forward and pulled her hand, only to find that her fingers were bleeding, her hands were very hot, this red face was only afraid that it was because the weather was too hot, I heard Tian Tian say that she stayed in the kitchen for an afternoon, this is a dog day, and she is not afraid of heat stroke.

Su Niang looked innocent and wanted to sprinkle a coquette, but she didn't dare, and muttered: "When the slave maid was shopping for vegetables today, Aunt Li, who sold vegetables, taught me to make a kind of osmanthus cake. ”

Lu Fei didn't think about it, he took her injured finger in his mouth and sucked it, and said vaguely: "Are you stupid, come, come outside, look at you, your clothes are sweaty." ”

Su Niang was happy in her heart, and when she looked down, her face was even redder, since she entered the Lu Mansion, this dress has also changed, and the light silk clothes are tightly stained with sweat on the skin at this time, and even the bright red belly pocket inside is clearly recognizable.

"Su Niang just wants Lang Jun to eat some delicious meals." Watching her fingers rub in Lu Fei's mouth, Su Niang only felt that this afternoon's affairs were not in vain, and a sense of happiness came to her face.

The cool breeze in the courtyard blew the budding of Su Niang's love for a woman again, and she had to sigh that it would be nice if she were younger.

Lu Fei saw that her hands were no longer bleeding, so he said: "Whether this meal is good or not depends not on whether you do it well or not, but because of my mood when I eat, I have been used to eating your dishes for so long, okay, don't be stupid in the future, cooking is not an overnight thing, tomorrow I will ask Shou Bo to find a cook." ”

Su Niang's face was pale, and she said aggrievedly: "Lang Jun still thinks that the food cooked by Su Niang is not to the taste, and Su Niang will learn it slowly." ”

Looking at her crying appearance, Lu Fei was angry and funny: "I just don't want you to work so hard, you have been following me to Bianliang from Xiazhou for thousands of miles, I can't bear to see you work so hard, and I can't afford to hire a cook." ”

Su Niang was even more aggrieved, tears flashed in her eyes, and she murmured: "I heard Aunt Li say that those who are cooks in big families like to covet the master's use, they change their ways to get food from their own homes, and they also play tricks when buying vegetables, Su Niang doesn't want these people to cheat Lang Jun's money." ”

Although Su Niang does not have any status in this family, she has already regarded herself as a member of this family, and she wants to save Lang Jun's money as much as possible.

Lu Fei wanted to cry without tears: "Oh my God, who taught you this, it's okay, I can't ask for it, you don't want to do this in the future." ”

Su Niang burst into tears and laughed, and suddenly said, "Why did Lang Jun come to the kitchen today." "A gentleman's distant cook, especially a man with an official status, may not know what his kitchen is like all his life.

Lu Fei suddenly said: "Aren't you hungry, I haven't eaten since I was on duty in the morning, and I don't have anything to eat." ”

Su Niang was distressed when she heard this, and hurriedly turned around and ran into the kitchen, when the wind and fire came out, she held a steaming plate in her hand, and stood there like a student waiting for the teacher to report the test scores, and said softly: "This is what Su Niang just made, the ninth cage of osmanthus mung bean cake, Lang Jun tasted it." ”

Lu Fei's head was covered with layers of black lines, Su Niang's cooking skills he knew, there should be no difference between the results of nine experiments and ninety times, looking at Su Niang's pinched between his fingers The white food that was not green or green, he swallowed his saliva and said: "The ninth time?" ”

Su Niang smiled like a flower and nodded.

"How? Is it tasty? ”

I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or Su Niang's cooking skills are rising, although the so-called osmanthus mung bean cake doesn't look very good, it tastes delicious, the light of the mung beans is mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus, chew it slowly, and leave a fragrant mouth.

"Yes, yes, another block." Lu Fei ate several pieces in a row.

"Really, hee-hee!" Looking at Lang Jun's happy eating, Su Niang seemed to be sweeter than eating in her mouth, like a little girl, she was beaming there, and said: "It's a pity that those ten catties of white noodles and two catties of mung bean noodles." ”

Lu Fei gobbled it up and joked: "It's a pity, I might as well let those cooks be greedy." ”

Su Niang's cheeks were crimson, she twisted her waist, and she couldn't help but say coquettishly: "Lang Jun makes fun of me, I hate it!" As soon as she spoke, she knew that she shouldn't, and hurriedly lowered her head.

When she twisted her waist, she made her high breasts scurry from side to side like a pair of rabbits, and Lu Fei only noticed these but didn't care about her expression.

Lu Fei whispered: "Heiyun has been in a bad mood these days, and he has snubbed you, I will be on duty the day after tomorrow, you can bring me lunch, and you know the inn opposite the palace front division, you know, wait for me in a room." ”

Su Niang was overjoyed when she heard it, sending food was just an excuse, and she buried her head even lower at the moment, and said shyly: "Okay! (To be continued.) )
