Qin Shuyao saluted him again: "Uncle Nie, long time no see." ”

Dong Cao Peng's name is Nie Boyan, although he belongs to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he is not very good with the Prime Minister, but he is friendly with the Qin family, he watched Qin Shuyao grow up, almost like his own son.

This time, the emperor sent him to the state capital to meet Qin Shuyao, and there was no need to say much about what he wanted to do.

"You kid, whether you're on the frontier or not, you're so good at tossing." Nie Boyan looked at Qin Shuyao and smiled helplessly.

Qin Shuyao was happy, looking at his expression to the elders rather than his superiors, he turned to Nie Boyan and said, "My lord, please." ”

Nie Boyan followed Qin Shuyao into the mansion, but he didn't see Huai Yanqing and Lin Jinxiu, who were supposed to be waiting here, looking at Qin Shuyao turning his head and looking around, he should be looking for it.

"What about the prince and Miss Lin?" Nie Boyan asked.

He came to Lin Jinxiu this time, it was purely the emperor's private matter, and Nie Boyan still remembers the emperor's expression when he said this.

Previously, the emperor received a letter from Huai Yanqing, which mentioned such a magical girl, although the tone of her voice was businesslike, but between the lines was full of admiration that I am afraid Huai Yanqing himself had not discovered.

"Be sure to see for me, where this girl who can be favored by the third brother comes from and where the magic is."

Nie Boyan was very helpless, the purpose of his coming here was obviously to help Qin Shuyao solve the case, but he was forcibly mixed with personal matters by the emperor and came to see a girl?

I'm over half a hundred years old, and I actually came to see a girl, which sounds a little old and not ashamed.

But thinking about it from another aspect, the emperor once told him that he didn't want any kisses, but now he suddenly fell in love with a girl, and he didn't know what kind of girl she could get into his eyes.

Nie Boyan was quite curious.

"The prince is still here......" Qin Shuyao was very puzzled, Huai Yanqing was obviously very concerned about Lord Dong Cao Peng's coming here, why didn't he know where to go as soon as he turned around?

If it is only about the identity of the prince, it is understandable for Huai Yanqing to run away.

But Lin Jinxiu is just a folk girl, if she is named and has not come to greet her for the first time, will it be considered disrespectful?

However, Uncle Nie's temper is very good, so he shouldn't be so strict.

"What does it smell like?" Suddenly, Nie Boyan sniffled and seemed to smell something, "It's so fragrant." ”

Qin Shuyao also took a breath of reflex, and then found that there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air.

…… It is the fragrance of the meal.

The mansion is so big, the aroma of food can even waft here from the back kitchen, except for Lin Jinxiu, he really can't tell who did it!

After a little silence, Qin Shuyao opened his mouth: "My lord, have you had lunch?" ”

Nie Boyan shook his head: "It's hard to travel, I just came here after entering the city, and I haven't had time to eat yet." ”

"Why don't you have lunch with your lords?" Qin Shuyao clenched his fists and smiled slightly.

With the food that came out of Lin Jinxiu's hands, he Qin Shuyao had never seen anyone who didn't worship Lin Jinxiu's cooking skills!

"Okay." Nie Boyan sounded very interested, "I have long known that the Yongzhou Prefecture has always been an official and a person who eats with the people, and this official, who takes the imperial court, also wants to see how your food is." ”

Qin Shuyao looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, today can't be considered normal, because Miss Lin is here, so she has to go to the kitchen to help." ”

Nie Boyan also knew that Lin Jinxiu was a cook, and Prince Yan was full of praise for his cooking skills, smelling this aroma, it seemed that what he said was true, he suddenly had some expectations, and he had been tired for a few days, and he hadn't eaten a good meal.

"Boy, don't say that this official is Dong Cao Peng when you see Miss Lin later." Nie Boyan smiled, "It's not good if you scare other girls." ”

"Yes." Qin Shuyao responded, and wanted to say to Nie Boyan that Lin Jinxiu had never been afraid of this kind of scene so far, but after thinking about it, let him see it for himself.

Under the leadership of Qin Shuyao, the two walked through the long corridor and came to the back hall where these officials had never been on weekdays, which was originally a place for miscellaneous attendants, but before they could enter today, they heard two familiar voices coming over.

"Are you sure you want to finish the meal before you go out? What if Dong Cao Peng comes? ”

"Fool! If Lord Dong Cao Peng came at this time, wouldn't he just haven't had lunch? It's so far from the capital to get here, even if it's a long time to take a carriage, and you must finish eating before doing official work! ”

Lin Jinxiu said it confidently, and she couldn't see that she was looking for an excuse to finish the meal, after all, a cook is responsible for the food in his hand!

"What do you call me?" Huai Yanqing's voice of protest came.

"Fool! Fool! "It sounds too much like flirting, I don't see it.

Qin Shuyao glanced back at Nie Boyan, and saw that he didn't seem to be angry, but stepped forward, first bowing silently at Huai Yanqing.

Huai Yanqing leaned against the door at this time, and there was a moment of panic on his face after seeing Nie Boyan, and just as he wanted to speak, Qin Shuyao took the first step to pounce and cover Huai Yanqing's mouth, so Nie Boyan walked straight into the kitchen without any obstacles.

"What's the situation?" Huai Yanqing asked frantically with his eyes.

Qin Shuyao covered his mouth and didn't answer anything, just opened a pair of calm eyes and gestured.

"This girl, the old man is a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Nie Boyan stood behind Lin Jinxiu, looking at this petite back, the spatula in her hand looked half her size, but in her hand it was as light as a feather, obviously the movements were very big, but it looked quite elegant.

Lin Jinxiu heard someone behind her speak, and said softly, "Huh?" He turned around and looked at the kind-hearted old official in front of him, who seemed to be a little different from the others, but at least those eyes were kind.

Just as she turned her head, Nie Boyan's eyes lit up.

It's no wonder that he can be looked at by Lord Yan, a person who looks so fairy, and the gentleness and ease that are inadvertently revealed in his eyes, are all different from the girls he has ever seen.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Jinxiu looked at his pot, and the fried rice still needs to be stirred for a while, "The rice will be ready immediately, and I will serve it to you immediately after it is ready!" ”

Saying that, Lin Jinxiu glanced outside the door, and Huai Yanqing was still standing there talking to herself, how could she disappear after saying two words?

"Where did this fool go......" Lin Jinxiu found a small bowl for Nie Boyan to serve rice, muttering in his mouth.

Nie Boyan heard what she said clearly, and sighed in his heart, if he can call a prince a fool so bluntly, I'm afraid only this girl dares to do it.

"My lord, give it." At this time, Lin Jinxiu had already prepared fried rice and put it in front of Nie Boyan.

She didn't know Nie Boyan, and she hadn't studied the appearance of the official uniform, but now looking at Nie Boyan's red clothes, she thought it was an old official in the government that she hadn't seen.

"Be careful." Lin Jinxiu also thoughtfully put a bowl of soup next to her, "My lord, do you need me to help you bring it to the study?" ”

After all, the place where you can sit in this kitchen is a small horse with bellows, so it's better not to sit for the official.

Nie Boyan shook his head: "Thank you, girl, no need, the old man will stand here and eat." ”

Lin Jinxiu didn't excuse herself, just nodded to indicate that she heard it, and then turned her head to put out the rest of the fried rice, ready to hand it over to the attendants to deliver rice to the adults.

Looking at the fried rice in his hand, Nie Boyan only felt that it was quite beautiful, compared to the dishes that came out of the imperial dining room: the rice was crystal clear, exuding the fragrance from rice, and the side dishes inside were cut very neatly, about the size of rice grains, very easy to eat, obviously the knife work was outstanding, and it looked very appetizing.

He had never eaten fried rice, and for Nie Boyan's family, this kind of vegetarian food mixed with vegetables was not much different from the rough snacks on the street, but this small bowl of things in his hand could actually make him, a person who had been accustomed to eating all kinds of exquisite dishes since he was a child, have great interest.

He wasn't entirely sure if it was the smell or the rest, he just couldn't control the movement of his hand at all, so he took a little bit of rice and vegetables with his chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

This bite is really amazing, just after putting it in his mouth, Nie Boyan knew that he was on the way.

"Miss Lin." Nie Boyan suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Lin Jinxiu's voice when talking to strangers has always been gentle and gentle, completely showing the image of a good shopkeeper.

Nie Boyan pondered for a moment: "Your cooking is really delicious. ”

"Thank you." For the praise of the guests, Lin Jinxiu is not stingy, thank you is thank you.

"I wonder if Miss Lin is married?" Nie Boyan asked again.

Lin Jinxiu replied: "I am a widow. ”

This answer was so straightforward that Nie Boyan almost choked to death, but I don't know how many times Lin Jinxiu has met and asked her if she is married and wants to marry her back home as a daughter-in-law, this answer is the most quickly refused.

？？ The third prince of my Dayan, a general with a lot of military exploits, actually fell in love with a widow??

Huai Yanqing and Qin Shuyao, who were standing at the door, felt very embarrassed after hearing the conversation between Nie Boyan and Lin Jinxiu, Huai Yanqing now knew why Nie Boyan came to see Lin Jinxiu, and his feelings were for his eldest brother!

"That's ......" Nie Boyan didn't know what to say for a while, "you...... Your husband he ......"

"Hell knows where he is." It's not something that Lin Jinxiu has personally experienced, and it's not a personal scandal for her, but when Lele's father is mentioned, Lin Jinxiu always has a nameless fire rising, "I take my son to earn money to support the family, I don't need this kind of thing." ”

Lin Jinxiu's happy father died outside, if one day she knew that this man had a new family in another place, and even had her own children, she might really come forward and slap him for the original owner.

Nie Boyan understood, there are always some irresponsible men in this world, and it seems that Miss Lin also met one.

But a girl with such an background, if she is with the prince, she is indeed a bit embarrassed.
