Chapter 439: Fortunately, His Majesty valued it
When the water chestnut came over to invite them, the two of them had almost finished talking.
Because it was a banquet for others, today's meal was extraordinarily rich.
Speaking of which, the cook of Bai Jinli's family was specially dug by Lin Shenyuan.
Because once they went to a restaurant to eat together, Bai Jinli was full of praise for a few dishes, and said very casually, how happy she would be if she could eat such delicious meals every day in the future.
As a result, it didn't take long for Lin Shenyuan to invite the cook who made those dishes to their house.
I heard that the chef's ancestors have specialized in food for several generations, and he has his own set of cooking methods.
The water in Bai Jinli's kitchen is all space water, some vegetables are also abundant in the space, and there are recipes she threw to the cook, coupled with the cook's skills, the taste of the food is much better than the food in the big restaurant outside.
And recently, because Mrs. Li has a relatively leisurely life, after dancing and writing every day, she will go to see the vegetables and flowers she grows if she has nothing to do.
Now the growth of flowers and vegetables is gratifying, and Mrs. Li has put more and more energy into taking care of them.
After having these things to do, Mrs. Li felt that her life was quite enjoyable.
"Shen Guan, Zhiyuan, sit down."
"Hmm."
After Shen Guan, Shen Zhiyuan, and Bai Mo sat down, Bai Jinli instructed the water chestnut to prepare for the dish.
Bai Meng and the Yan family went to Prince Mu's mansion to study when they had nothing to do recently, and they were not at home many times, and Mrs. Li told Old Man Bai that they were young people, so when they got together for dinner, the two elders did not mix.
As for the others, they should be busy, and there are only them at the table.
There are many styles of dishes, and they are full of color, flavor and flavor.
The cook was originally a little reluctant when Lin Shenyuan received this mansion, after all, his wish was to make all kinds of meals that satisfied the diners, rather than being locked up in a small mansion to be a little cook.
When the results came, the hostess of the house met him and, after some conversation, gave him a few recipes. He also said that if he can make these dishes well, there will be more recipes for him to study in the future.
He had never seen the dishes on that recipe, and he was immediately interested.
When he was in the restaurant, he only cooked food for everyone to eat, and he couldn't learn anything.
Coming to this house is also to make food for everyone to eat, and he can continue to learn new things, and after weighing it, he soon left it very willingly.
No, there are a few new dishes he just researched in today's dishes, and one of them is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, which is very cool.
When the meal was halfway through, a small servant suddenly came to report, saying that Lin Shenyuan had come back with a distinguished guest.
It didn't take long to see Lin Shenyuan, who was wearing an official uniform, walking over with a handsome young man who was also wearing an official uniform.
Coincidentally, she had seen that young man before, if I remember correctly, his name was Qin Ke.
"Xianggong, why did you come back so early today? Bringing guests with you? ”
"This is Mrs. Lin, right? Qin Ke again, come uninvited today, I hope Mrs. Lin doesn't mind. Qin Ke waved his hand at Bai Jinli and made a gentleman's salute.
"How could it! Qin Gongzi, please sit down, water chestnut, serve tea, and let people add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks. Bai Jinli greeted warmly.
"Miss Shen, are you too?" Soon, Qin Ke saw Shen Guan, who had stood up and stood aside, with a faint hint of joy in his tone for no reason.
"Well, Shen Wan has seen Lin Gongzi and Qin Gongzi." Shen Wan saluted the two.
Seeing the interaction between the two people, Bai Jinli's sixth sense told her that there should be a story between these two people.
She didn't say anything, but involuntarily glanced at Lin Shenyuan.
Coincidentally, when she looked over, Lin Shenyuan also happened to look at her, and the two of them looked at each other, but they had a feeling of ten thousand years.
"Xianggong, you go and clean your hands first, and then come and sit, the food will be served immediately."
"yes, okay."
Waiting for Lin Shenyuan to take Qin Ke to clean his hands, Bai Jinli couldn't help but pull Shen Wan and asked her in a low voice: "Do you know Qin Ke?" ”
"Yes, he saved my life, and we met several times."
Hearing her say this, the fire of gossip in Bai Jinli's eyes burned brightly, if it weren't for watching the two of them come back again, she couldn't wait to let Shen Wan tell her about it on the spot.
Several people sat around the dining table, Bai Jinli was next to Lin Shenyuan, and on the other side was Shen Guan.
Next to Shen Wan was Shen Zhiyuan, and then Bai Mo.
As for Qin Ke, he sat next to Lin Shenyuan.
After the last soup was served, the little guy on the side moved slightly on one of the dishes according to the instructions of the people in the kitchen.
Then they saw that in the dish called the carp leaping over the dragon's gate, a fish swished through the small arch carved out of radishes beside it, and when it fell into the plate, it became a fish that looked delicious.
"This dish is amazing! Brother Lin, your chef is really extraordinary! Qin Ke was dumbfounded.
Shen Wan and Shen Zhiyuan also felt amazing.
"Well, it's not ordinary. These are the credit of my wife. ”
"Let you see the laughter, it's just a small trick, the main thing is that the cook that my father-in-law found back is more powerful."
"......" the crowd.
We're here to eat, aren't we here to see you compliment each other on sprinkling dog food?
"This dish is called Carp Leaping Dragon Gate, to congratulate Shen Guan's younger brother Zhiyuan on his good score in the third place in the examination, and I hope he can have a better performance in the next palace examination."
"Thank you, Sister Bai." Hearing Bai Jinli say this, Shen Zhiyuan couldn't help but get up, with a hint of blush on his face, and thanked Bai Jinli with full seriousness in his words.
This kind of heart is really rare.
My sister's friend is so nice that he is all touched!
In the future, he will not only have to help his sister earn a title, but if Sister Bai has something, he will definitely do his best to help Sister Bai.
"Young Master Shen is really young and promising, come, I will toast you." Hearing this, Qin Ke couldn't help but raise his wine glass.
"Qin Gongzi, my brother is still young, and it is inconvenient to drink."
"Oh yes, I was negligent. Shen Xiaogongzi, you replace wine with tea. ”
When Shen Zhiyuan heard this, he picked up the teacup on the side and thanked Qin Ke, took a sip and sat down.
"Mrs. Lin, this glass of wine, I salute the two of you, congratulations on Brother Lin's promotion, and thank Mrs. Lin for her hospitality." Qin Ke raised his glass again.
"Promotion?" Bai Jinli looked at Lin Shenyuan in confusion.
"Well, fortunately, His Majesty valued it, and I was promoted by luck."
"Huh?"
Soon, Bai Jinli knew what was going on.
Before, Lin Shenyuan was just an idle cloud envoy with no name, mainly responsible for His Majesty's travel and honor guards.
A few days ago, when His Majesty was traveling, he encountered a person dressed as a eunuch who was assassinating, Lin Shenyuan happened to be on the side, and he reacted very quickly to subdue the assassin and protect His Majesty.
His Majesty has been investigating the assassination in the past few days, and it was only three days ago that the matter was thoroughly investigated, and he planned to promote Lin Shenyuan to the leader of the Sanpin Xiaocai.
As a result, as soon as this idea came out, it was immediately refuted by many people in the DPRK and China.
Those people said that Lin Shenyuan was just a white man with no background before, and it was already too generous for His Majesty to become a Yun Lu envoy.
Now, because of good luck to protect His Majesty, he jumped to such a high position, which is really unconvincing.
You must know that there are so many officials in the current dynasty, but they have all gone through the polishing of time, or their ancestors have been shaded to get to the point where they are now.
Seeing a person without any background soaring into the sky, they inevitably feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
So, in the next three days, Lin Shenyuan successively challenged the few people in the DPRK who spoke out to disagree with him.
With his strength, he deeply beat those people speechless.
During this period, Wenchen came over to accuse Lin Shenyuan of not having strength, and after being scolded by Lin Shenyuan, he retreated speechlessly.
There was also a young man who was the son of a general who came to provoke, and he was also beaten down by Lin Shenyuan's strength.
After these three days, no one in the court dared to say that Lin Shenyuan was not worthy of His Majesty's reward.
Not only that, His Majesty even gave extra kindness to allow Lin Shenyuan to participate in this year's palace examination as a supernumerary, wanting to explore his depth again.
If Lin Shenyuan can get good results in the palace examination, I am afraid that his future career will be easier and better.
It can be said that Lin Shenyuan is now a hot figure in the palace.
As an official in the court, there is no one who does not know Lin Shenyuan.
However, Lin Shenyuan is low-key and humble, and he is not complacent because of these things, and he is still the same as always.
When I met those officials in the DPRK and China, I was also how it was and how it is now.
His demeanor and strength have been recognized and appreciated by many people in the DPRK and China.
"Xianggong, you are so powerful, I will toast you."
After hearing Qin Ke say this, Bai Jinli immediately looked at him with that kind of admiration and a hint of encouragement.
"Hmm." After Lin Shenyuan saw the starry eyes of his little daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
These things outside his body are not something to show off to him, but he can see the eyes of his little daughter-in-law, and he instantly feels very satisfied.
The two men clinked glasses and drank a glass, and the others began to toast again.
The meal took a long time, and everyone was satisfied.
It's really Bai Jinli's meal that is really delicious, and it coincides with a happy event, so they are inevitably in a good mood.
After eating, Shen Wan and Shen Zhiyuan said goodbye, and Qin Ke offered to send their sister and brother home.
After sending off the guests, Bai Jinli, who had drunk a little wine, became more talkative and lively.
"Xianggong, I forgot to ask you, when you met the assassin before, were you injured?"
"Nope."
"Really? I don't believe it, you give me a look at it with your own eyes. ”
"Lady, didn't you test it the night before yesterday?"
"What are you talking about? What time was the test done the night before? How I don't remember. Lin Shenyuan, don't you let me see it! ”
"What do you want to think? I'm going to cooperate! ”
"Look...... Wait, Lin Shenyuan, the assassin you blocked three days ago, and Mama Li also came to our house three days ago to block me, you say, will there be any connection between this? ”
