"They wanted to execute me just to drive me out of the court, and my eldest brother desperately wanted to keep me."

"I offered to be exiled." Huai Yanqing said, "When General Pei betrayed at the beginning, he released a lot of Zhou spies in the territory of Yan State and had not been caught, and I went to Celadon County at that time to investigate these spies. ”

"Qin Shuyao was very disappointed in the imperial court at that time, after I was exiled, he could have been ranked as the third prince and nine secretaries, because of this matter, and in order to help me, he took the initiative to apply for decentralization and was transferred to the state capital of Yongzhou."

It turned out that Huai Yanqing and Qin Shuyao came to Yongzhou for this reason.

"I'm relieved, though." Huai Yanqing held Lin Jinxiu's hand with her backhand and brought her white slender fingers to her face, "Who would have expected that I would meet you when I came to Yongzhou?" ”

Lin Jinxiu reached out and touched his head: "If my appearance can make you relieved of the past, then it makes sense for me to come here." ”

"Shopkeeper, the way you touch my head is too much like a dog." Huai Yanqing remembered a long-haired dog that Lin Jinxiu had touched on the street before, and the action was exactly the same.

Lin Jinxiu laughed: "How good a dog is, loyal, cute, and protective of its owner...... I can't understand why many people take dogs as swearing. ”

As she spoke, she didn't stop in her hands, brushing Huai Yanqing's hair again and again, Huai Yanqing was very helpless, but she didn't stop her.

It's just that, she likes dogs so much, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with being a dog......

Huai Yanqing, you have to be a little promising.

The two stayed for a while, the air was still cold at night, and they didn't sit for long and there were small bumps on their bodies.

After taking a deep look at the starry sky overhead, Huai Yanqing left the pagoda with Lin Jinxiu, but only took away the dust on the tiles, leaving two handprints.

After the two returned to the room, Lele was clamoring to sleep with his father, but was coaxed by Lin Jinxiu for a while, but he still didn't persuade him, and was finally taken away by Huai Yanqing, leaving Lin Jinxiu with a quiet night.

But she had a bit of insomnia.

She still remembered that she asked Huai Yanqing a question on the way back: "Do you still want to return to the court and be your prince and general?" ”

Huai Yanqing didn't answer immediately, the wind was howling, and he just tightened the coat wrapped around Lin Jinxiu's body a little, blocking her from the wind.

It wasn't until she fell to the ground that Huai Yanqing answered her.

"If possible, I really hope that I am really a passer-by, alone, and can stay in your store for the rest of my life."

Although most people in this world want to climb to the highest and highest places, only those who stand on the highest places will experience what it means to be truly high and cold.

Huai Yanqing is obviously such a person, he doesn't like the cold that is placed at the top.

Maybe he came to Lin Jinxiu's side just to experience what it means to be sincere and warm among ordinary people.

If this is the case, Lin Jinxiu is willing to give him all the warmth he can, and warm his hands that have held knives, swords, and blood, but have always been cold and have never been warm.

However, things don't always work out that way.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Jinxiu, who had almost never slept all night because he thought about things, was picked up by Huai Yanqing.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jinxiu rubbed her somewhat puffy cheeks, and looked at Huai Yanqing's anxious look in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

"Clean up a little, let's go to the mansion." Huai Yanqing handed a rolled-up letter in his hand to Lin Jinxiu, "Maybe it's the reason why I wrote to my imperial brother to mention you before, you have to go with us." ”

"What? When did you actually contact the emperor? Lin Jinxiu was very confused, but when she saw the envelope, she was startled.

Lord Dong Cao Peng, who came from the capital, was ordered by the emperor to come to assist Qin Shuyao in handling the case of the imperial spies, but he started a new line on the letter, asking to see Lin Jinxiu by name, and the chapter next to it was very large, and there was a seal on it, and it could be seen that the first word was "Yan".

…… Jade seal???

On this biography, which can be called an edict, there is no name of Huai Yanqing, no name of Qin Shuyao, just the titles of "brother" and "Yongzhou state pastor", but the three big characters of "Lin Jinxiu" are written in almost the middle position, which makes Lin Jinxiu a little flustered.

"I'm a little panicked." Lin Jinxiu said very honestly to Huai Yanqing.

This kind of roll call is much more terrifying than the impression that the teacher will pick up and answer questions in class.

Huai Yanqing's expression didn't look relaxed: "I have very serious doubts, I ......"

After saying half of the words, Lin Jinxiu suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

But Lord Dong Cao Peng's affairs can't be neglected, since he wants to see him by name, Lin Jinxiu also cleaned himself up.

After all, Lord Dong Cao Peng usually sees everyone beautifully, although he doesn't have such expensive dresses, but in order to leave a good first impression, it is better to be a little more formal.

Soon, Lin Jinxiu was ready, and followed Huai Yanqing to the mansion, waiting for the arrival of Lord Dongcao Peng.

Huai Yanqing's mood was not quite right all day today, he was happy for a while and very serious for a while, obviously there was something unspeakable.

Lin Jinxiu didn't bother her, she sat alone in Qin Shuyao's study, and didn't speak, just sat obediently, just to not cause trouble for them, but she could appear as soon as possible when Lord Qincha came here.

Except for the three of them plus a valley scene, the rest of the people didn't know why Lin Jinxiu appeared here.

The already tense mansion was even more talked about because of Lin Jinxiu's arrival, and Qin Shuyao almost quarreled with those officials for a whole day.

This kind of gloom before the storm is the most annoying depression for Lin Jinxiu, but she has no choice but to take the brush on Qin Shuyao's desk to write and play, and she has to see if the paper in her hand is an official document, in case she makes a mistake, it will be funny.

It was time to eat from morning to noon, but Lord Dong Cao Peng still didn't come, Lin Jinxiu couldn't sit still, so she walked out of the study and asked the officer at the door: "Little brother, may I ask when you will have lunch?" ”

Because Lin Jinxiu always came to deliver food to Qin Shuyao, the messengers at the door all knew Lin Jinxiu, a girl, and when they heard her ask when the meal would start, they thought she was hungry.

"Girl, if you want to eat, you'll have to wait a little longer." The errand officer still likes Lin Jinxiu, a gentle and polite girl, and her tone of voice is relatively gentle.

Lin Jinxiu smiled: "No, no, I'm not a cook, I've been sitting here for so long, I also want to help, can you show me where the kitchen is?" ”

At this time, the servants realized that she seemed to be indeed a cook who participated in the God of Food Competition, and she was also a chef who had already made a name for herself and was quite popular with the Imperial Chef.

The two messengers at the door looked at each other, only to feel that they couldn't control their hands at all, and gave Lin Jinxiu directions.

Lin Jinxiu said thank you, followed the direction of their fingers, and came to the kitchen.

The servants in the kitchen also knew Lin Jinxiu, after all, they were all cooks, she was still a guest of Lord Qin, and she was a girl, so she would naturally be noticed by many people.

I heard that the chef in the God of Food Contest was going to cook in the yamen, and these errand servants were busy making way for her.

In the Yongzhou Mansion, Qin Shuyao's request for the kitchen was to make a big pot of rice, whether it was himself, other officials, or even the sweeping boys, they all ate the same thing.

Some people were once dissatisfied with this system, but they were reprimanded by Qin Shuyao, saying that this official does things for the people, and there are still many poor people, and he can't suffer from the people with the court's money.

What's more, it's not called suffering at all.

With Qin Shuyao's anger for the first time, plus he led by example, he didn't care about eating the same thing as everyone else, and this rule went on forever.

However, it was precisely because Qin Shuyao ate the same meal as them that the food of the entire mansion had also improved, so there were more people left in the mansion for lunch and dinner.

According to Lin Jinxiu's words, there are more people who are willing to work overtime.

For a while, I didn't know whether to say that Qin Shuyao cared about people's livelihood or whether he should say that he was smart.

Lin Jinxiu has never made a big pot of rice, but this kind of rice and a plate of carefully selected dishes must be much easier to make.

She thought about it and decided to make a simple fried rice, but she replaced the side dishes with ingredients in her own space, which not only improved the flavor, but also helped herself earn satisfaction points, killing two birds with one stone.

Potatoes, shrimps, and corn kernels, Lin Jinxiu chose several ingredients that appear most often in fried rice, and added some water from the Holy Spirit Pot, which suddenly changed this pot of rice.

The smell of aroma came from the kitchen to the outside, and everyone stopped to sigh why today's food was so fragrant.

However, just when Lin Jinxiu was cooking the meal, Huai Yanqing went to the study to look for her but didn't find her.

It turned out that Lord Dong Cao Peng didn't come early or late, so he came up in a hurry to eat, but who knew that Lin Jinxiu actually went to cook.

This Lord Dong Cao Peng came really high-profile, with two columns of servants by his side, and the carriage was four horses in parallel, so the style was so high.

"Yongzhou Prefecture Mu Qin Shuyao knocked to see Lord Qincha!"

I saw Qin Shuyao dressed in a neat and tidy official uniform, followed by a few errand officers, kowtowing to Lord Dong Cao Peng, who came to be examined, respectfully, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely upright.

"No courtesy." A rather majestic voice came from the sedan chair, and immediately after, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the mysterious Dong Cao Peng stepped down from the carriage, and the red official uniform was obviously a symbol of dignity.

The officials who came looked to be in their forties, lean and thin, with a pair of deep-set eyes that were so bright that if they were ordinary people, they would be shocked if they looked at each other slightly.

This man has a very neat beard, and obviously pays attention to his appearance.

Qin Shuyao and the other servants stood up with the permission of Dong Cao Peng.

"Qin family child, long time no see." Dong Cao Peng obviously knew Qin Shuyao, he looked at this young man with a sharp gaze, and said that it was a young talent, and it was really extraordinary.
