Xiao Qian hadn't seen Lin Jingyuan for three years, and the little boy who was less than his shoulder back then was now almost to the tip of his nose, and the young man's face still looked immature, but his eyes were clear and sharp, and the young man's sharp spirit was revealed.

After the greetings, everyone sat down to drink tea.

I thought that everyone hadn't seen each other for many years, and there was an age gap, and the scene would be embarrassing, but soon Xiao Qian knew that he was too worried.

There was a talkative Lu Zhaonan present, and Lin Jingyuan was actually very talkative, and Zhou Da used Yuchuan dialect from time to time to cheer the scene, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"The small kitchen of Moyuan Pavilion was only repaired yesterday, today is the first day of cooking in Moyuan Pavilion, and there is no cook at home, so today it is my sister who cooks herself, saying that she is going to make a medicinal meal to entertain you." Lin Jingyuan didn't have much confidence in his sister's cooking skills, so he said hello first to let everyone be mentally prepared.

"Huh? Your sister cooks herself? Your sister can also cook? Lu Zhaonan felt that he had come this time, and Lin Yanyan's image in his mind became more and more perfect.

Although the mother's craftsmanship is not very good, the father eats with relish, and shows off to him, so that he can marry a daughter-in-law who is willing to wash your hands and make soup for you in the future.

Lin Jingyuan smiled with a weak heart: "My sister is cooking for the first time. ”

Lu Zhaonan: Uh......

The first time Lin Yanyan cooked, he caught up, it couldn't be better.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not a picky eater, I love to eat whatever Yan Yan does." Zhou Datong smiled.

Lu Zhaonan looked at Zhou Datong, who was full of fat, with disdain, looking at you like this, you know that you are not a picky eater, and Yan Yan, is Yan Yan your name?

Lin Jingyuan: "Yan Yan is ingenious at first glance, no matter what he does, he must be very powerful, Xiao Qian, right?" ”

The corners of Xiao Qian's mouth twitched, I am not so blindly confident.

What his friend was thinking, he knew very well that even if Lin Yanyan made a pot of pig food, Lu Zhaonan would say that it was delicious.

Xiao Qian didn't want to talk about these useless things, and asked bluntly: "Jing Yuan, how have you and your sister been doing in the Hou Mansion in the past few years?" ”

Lin Jingyuan smiled, and said lightly: "It's okay." ”

These five words speak for themselves.

Xiao Qian understood, and it was really not good.

Damn it, he should have thought of it, when Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou died, Yan Yan was fourteen years old, and Jing Yuan was only twelve years old.

Xiao Qian blamed himself. In the past few years, he has spent his mind on investigating the unjust case of the Tao family and the cause of Hou Ye's death, but he has ignored the two sisters and brothers.

Go back and find a chance to ask for clarity, and he wants to help them get it back.

Lu Zhaonan was also depressed and asked, "Jing Yuan, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"In a few days, I will go to study in Guozijian, and my mother hopes that I can take the test to make a name for myself." Lin Jingyuan said.

Like them, the sons of princes, even if they don't test their fame and military merits, it is easy to inherit the title in the future and find an official and a half-position in the court, but the difference between meritorious and non-meritorious is still very big, one is completely dependent on the family and the other proves that he has real ability. Lin Jingyuan hopes that he is the latter.

"You're going to Guozijian? Great, then we can study together in the future. Zhou Datong was overjoyed.

Lin Jingyuan hurriedly got up and saluted: "Then I want Brother Zhou to take care of it more." ”

"It's easy to say, no problem, it's all on me." Zhou Datong patted his chest.

Lu Zhaonan said in a strange manner: "Jing Yuan, your eldest brother Zhou is a celebrity in the Guozijian, he has been in the Guozijian for five years, and so far he has not been able to shake his status in the Guozijian. ”

Forever the penultimate one, the position is as solid as a mountain.

Zhou Datong was still proudly holding his neck high and straightening his chin in three layers. The surname Lu finally said a human thing, the young master is so awesome in the country, no one dares to mess with him.

Lin Jingyuan obviously misunderstood, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, seeing that Brother Zhou looked stupid, and thought that he couldn't read, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. It is said that people should not be good-looking, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Xiao Qian picked up the teacup, pretended to drink tea, and hid the smile in his eyes, Lu Zhaonan is too good at hurting people, and Zhou Datong is also a living treasure, and he is very proud of being damaged.

"Fourth son, the eldest lady said that the banquet is available, please move to the flower hall." Jinxin came to pass the word.

So everyone went to the flower hall with different thoughts.

Lin Jingyuan was worried that the food cooked by his sister would make it difficult for everyone to swallow.

Lu Zhaonan was excited to eat Yan Yan's first meal immediately.

Zhou Datong didn't have any worries about whether it was delicious or not in his mind, anyway, he had to eat more of what Yan Yan cooked.

Xiao Qian was thinking about whether to tell Lin Yanyan what happened in the court today, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and Lin Yanyan has to plan early.

Lin Yanyan was already waiting in the flower hall, and when he saw everyone coming, he generously invited everyone to sit down, and he also sat down.

Seeing this, Li's mother stopped talking.

"Thank you for coming to see Jing Yuan today, there is no cook in Moyuan Pavilion, so I made a few dishes casually, I hope you don't dislike it." Lin Yanyan said with a slight smile.

"No, no, it's us who bothered you, and it hurt you." As soon as Lu Zhaonan arrived in front of Lin Yanyan, he spoke much more honestly.

Zhou Datong flattered: "Yan Yan, there is a shortage of cooks in your house, or I will send you a few, I have cooks in my family who are good at cooking dishes from all over the world." ”

Lu Zhaonan was depressed again, Zhou Dapang was really attentive, and he had to say: "Why don't you say that you invited the chef of Tianxiangju, the first restaurant in Beijing?" ”

"Yan Yan, Jing Yuan, have you ever eaten Tianxiangju's wine and food? If you like it, I'll let the chef of Tianxiangju come over tomorrow, anyway, Tianxiangju is opened by my family. Zhou Datong disagreed.

Lu Zhaonan was speechless, he wanted to unify Zhou Da with the army, but who knew that Tianxiangju turned out to be the property of the Chengguo Mansion.

Does this count as shooting himself in the foot?

Xiao Qian was also speechless, Lu Zhaonan had been in the capital for more than three years, and he didn't know that Tianxiangju was opened by the Chengguo Mansion?

Lin Yanyan: "I appreciate Zhou Gongzi's kindness, but I still like to cook my own food." ”

"Sister, is this what you call medicinal food?" Lin Jingyuan looked at the table of dishes, they looked very exquisite, and they smelled fragrant, so he didn't know if he liked them or not.

"That's right, now is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the temperature is rising, the yang energy is gradually flourishing, and the food supplement should be based on clearing heat and dampness, clearing the heart and nourishing the spleen. For example, this ginseng Ling spleen tonic soup uses Codonopsis, Yunling, fried barley, licorice, kidney beans, atractylodes, wolfberry as condiments, plus lean meat, chicken, pork belly, dates and other ingredients, simmering slowly, it has the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen and stomach, anti-fatigue, and calming the mind and nerves. ”

"Another example is this Huaishan barley raw fish soup, the fish is fried in hot oil until slightly yellow and fishy, and then put in Huaishan, barley, tangerine peel, lean meat, ginger and other ingredients and medicinal materials, boiled over fire, turned to simmer for more than half an hour, has the effect of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness." Lin Yanyan added in his heart that these two dishes are very suitable for people like Lu Zhaonan, who live in the south all the year round and have heavy dampness in their bodies and a deficiency in their spleen and stomach.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect Lin Yanyan to know so much about medicinal diets.

"I won't introduce them one by one, let's try them."
