Thirty miles east of the city of Nuanzhou, the sun is like fire, there is no water in the rice fields, and a group of villagers are digging deep wells.

In a carriage, Zhao Shuang sighed faintly and said: "It's the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and it's not raining yet, it's really going to be a catastrophe in the world." ”

Hu Jingyun fiddled with the curtain rope in his hand and said, "How can you let the people survive the catastrophe?" ”

Zhao Shuang looked at the clean and pure blue sky in the distance and said, "Look at the providence of heaven." ”

In the evening, the four masters and apprentices finally arrived at the Xiangwang Mansion.

Xiangwangfu is located in the north of Xiangcheng and occupies most of Xiangcheng.

The four of them were arranged to live in a courtyard in the northwest corner of the Xiangwang Mansion, as for the county lord and the princess, not to mention that they can't see each other today, they may not have time to see each other tomorrow, and the people of the palace told them to wait for the summons slowly.

Wait?

For Zhao Shuang, apart from the delicious food that can wait, there is nothing worth waiting for.

Not long after, the Xiangwang family, who were eating in the dining room, smelled the mouth-watering fragrance.

In this fragrance, the meal in front of me suddenly tastes like chewing wax.

The family who didn't eat or sleep was stunned and no one spoke, but with chopsticks, no one could eat.

King Xiang's mother, the old concubine finally couldn't help but speak, anyway, others didn't dare to care about her rules:

"Where did this smell come from?"

In the huge Xiangwang Mansion, as long as the owner's family does not eat, the people under him cannot eat. The palace is too big, and the neighbors are too far away, even if they cook, they should not smell in the hall in the middle of the palace.

Prince Xiang waved his chopsticks and said, "The concubine asked, where is this smell, why don't you go and check it out?" ”

The servants who were waiting for the meal soon ran to investigate, and the results of the investigation were presented after a short time: "Lord Qiqi, it is the smell caused by the barbecue in the courtyard of several new guests from the palace. ”

When King Xiang heard this, he was puzzled: "When is the new guest?" I haven't been soliciting guests lately! ”

When the county lord heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Father, it is the guest king recruited by his daughter, there are four people in total. ”

The county lord is the eldest daughter of King Xiang, and the only daughter of King Xiang who was named the county lord, there are too many daughters of King Xiang, and now the emperor is also busy, and he forgot to give them the title of county lord.

The lord of the county is free and easy by nature, not losing to men, and many things in the palace are handed over to his daughter to take care of.

When King Xiang heard this, he said to his eldest daughter with a pleasant face: "What kind of talent do these four guests who have recently been recruited linger?" ”

The county lord pondered that he was eating the delicious dishes made by the two cooks, so he recruited the four of them to the mansion together, if he told the truth to his father, he seemed to be greedy, so he said: "That Miss Zhao is well-read and strong, she has three apprentices, the eldest apprentice Mr. Fu, who is very good at cooking medicinal food, the third apprentice Mr. Qiu's knife skills are exquisite, and there is a girl who is the youngest disciple of Miss Zhao, and she should also have unique skills." ”

When King Xiang heard this, he said happily: "Liulian finally knows that he has to recruit all kinds of talents, not only for those who govern the country, this is a big progress." Since Mr. Fu is good at medicinal diet, and we happen to be eating, let him come over to recuperate for us. ”

The subordinate said yes and turned around to ask for someone.

Not long after, Zhao Shuang met the coveted Princess Xiang as she wished.

Zhao Shuang's eyes were shining: "I've seen the princess." ”

Well-there are old ladies and kings present, why does this girl only have princesses in her eyes?

The master saluted like this, and the three apprentices who followed behind didn't know whether to follow the master's pace or to salute normally.
