But after all, all this is just speculation, and the stakes are very high, and she doesn't dare to say this guess rashly without getting conclusive evidence.

That's going to scare the individual to death!

So she deliberately changed the topic and didn't let Lao Li Tou continue, "Master, does that eldest princess have children?" ”

Lao Li Tou thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, after all, the border war broke out only one year after the eldest princess married a neighboring country, and then died at the hands of the secret guard not long after, I didn't hear that she had children." ”

"The monarch of the neighboring country was forced to commit suicide, and the Zhongshu slandering the eldest princess made all the people and others punished, so what about the first emperor?"

"The First Emperor? What happened to the first emperor? ”

Liu Jiaojiao said with a hint of disdain: "Although this bureau was set up by the monarch of the neighboring country and those rebellious ministers and thieves, but he was the one who really killed the eldest princess, as one of the murderers, he was not punished?" ”

Lao Li Tou hurriedly made a silent gesture to her, looked around vigilantly, and then lowered his voice and said, "You little girl, why do you dare to say anything?" It is disrespectful to talk about the emperor behind his back! ”

"He dares to kill people, and he is still afraid of being said?" Liu Jiaojiao sneered.

Lao Li Tou shook his head and said: "Few people know that the eldest princess was killed by the secret guards sent by the first emperor, and I also learned by accident, the version that everyone heard is that the eldest princess fell out with the monarch for the invasion of our dynasty by neighbors, and then the monarch killed the eldest princess to vent his anger after losing the battle, so the first emperor forced the monarch to commit suicide and apologize after winning the war." ”

"So, our former emperor is still a loving father in the eyes of the people?" Liu Jiaojiao sneered, it was worthless for the innocent eldest princess, and the people who played politics and governance were really dirty.

Lao Li Tou didn't refute this time, but sighed deeply, "That's why I desperately wanted to leave the palace later, that place...... Forget it, don't talk about it! ”

Liu Jun suddenly said: "When I was a child, I once asked my mother, where her family was, what her grandparents were like, but she never told me, I also asked my father, and my father said that he didn't know, and my mother never mentioned her family and the past to him. ”

Liu Jiaojiao was afraid that he would think too much and get involved in those harem grievances, so she hurriedly said: "Brother, don't you think your mother is the eldest princess?" Impossible! Her Royal Highness, the most favored eldest princess in a country, even if she feels that she has to hide her identity in danger, she can't be willing to marry a mountain villager, right? What's more, you know what kind of virtue milk is, she has been pampered since she was a child, how can she stand the pain of milk? ”

"Besides, Master has seen the eldest princess herself, and he has also seen your mother, even if your mother is disguised, it is impossible to change the whole face and temperament, right? There's no way Master wouldn't recognize it! ”

Liu Jun frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but my mother must have something to do with the eldest princess, otherwise how can this bracelet be explained?" ”

"The eldest princess was assassinated that year, and perhaps some of the people who served her were afraid of being implicated, so they took some of her things and ran away; Or maybe one of the people who served her had unclean hands and feet, and stole the bracelet to exchange it for silver, and then the things fell into your mother's hands...... In short, there are so many possibilities! Liu Jiaojiao's brain turned extremely fast, and she counted several possibilities at once.

Lao Li nodded and echoed while listening: "Jiao Yatou is right, I have seen your mother, it doesn't look like she has a good background, and she works well." As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Liu Jiaojiao in a vague manner.

Liu Jiaojiao understood in seconds, and immediately said: "That's it, brother, don't think too much, in my opinion, this bracelet is a coincidence, but you remember to put it away, don't let others see it, and save yourself from causing trouble." ”

Liu Jun couldn't think of a reason for a while, so she nodded and acquiesced to her statement, put away the bracelet, and put it away.

"After talking for a long time, my mouth is dry, brother, I want to drink chrysanthemum and flower tea, can you go and boil some water to make me a cup?" Liu Jiaojiao deliberately found an excuse and tried to break Liu Jun apart.

Liu Jun really thought that her sister's mouth was dry, nodded and got up, walked two steps and turned back to ask Lao Li, "Grandpa, what do you want to drink?" I'll make you a drink too. ”

Dare to love him just by the way? Lao Li Tou glared at him angrily, but saw that he didn't feel guilty at all, but looked at himself suspiciously, as if he had punched cotton.

"Since it's by the way, let's make an extra cup of chrysanthemum and flower tea by the way." His voice was muffled, and he knew he was in a bad mood when he heard it.

Liu Jun didn't know whether she didn't care or didn't hear it, so she answered "yes" and turned around and left the study.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Lao Li began to complain on the back foot: "This stupid boy, I am so good to him, but I only remember your sister in my heart, and I didn't take me seriously at all!" ”

Liu Jiaojiao smiled and persuaded: "Of course my brother won't take you in his eyes, but he will put you in his heart!" He's just not good at words, that's why you misunderstood. ”

"Knowing that your brother and sister have a good relationship, you don't have to rush to explain it for him, can I not know what his temperament is? But just say a few words, how can you really care about him? Lao Li Tou rolled his eyes, and then his expression changed with a serious expression, "You're also afraid that he will be involved in those rights and wrongs, right?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao nodded sharply, "Although I haven't been in that kind of place, I also know that it is a place where people eat without blinking, and this matter is very involved, I don't want my brother to be involved." ”

"So, let's try not to mention the matter of the bracelet and the eldest princess in the future, but although Jun Boy doesn't like to talk, he is a smart one, and I'm afraid he has already thought of something."

"It's all your fault! If you didn't tell the story behind the bracelet, how could you think of that? Don't you know if you see through it or not? The more you know, the faster you die, don't you understand? ”

Lao Li Tou thought about arguing a few words at first, but in the end, he really said too much, so he said: "You can't blame me for this." You must know that the older this person gets, the more broken his mouth becomes, and he shouldn't say it, but he says it as soon as his brain is hot, and it's too late to regret it! ”

As he spoke, he sighed silently, his expression a little wistful, "And the longer a person lives, the more things are hidden in his heart, and the greater his forgetfulness, if he doesn't say it, he will probably forget it all in the end, and he can only take it to the coffin!" ”

Liu Jiaojiao knows that the older people are, the more forgetful they are, this is something that can't be helped, no one can escape such things as birth, old age, sickness and death, the life span of people in this era is far less than that of modern times, and it is considered a long life to live to seventy. Lao Li Tou is now over fifty years old, and it is no wonder that he is emotional.

couldn't bear to feel the impermanence of life and death there, so Liu Jiaojiao deliberately said: "Master, since you don't want to bring the secret to the coffin, why don't you simply tell me all the secrets in your heart?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that the more you know, the faster you die?" Old Li Tou teased.

"I'm afraid, so after you tell me, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and tell no one, and when I reach your age, and I am worried about bringing the secret into the coffin, find someone as reliable as me and tell him the secret. Master, don't you think I'm doing this a good idea? Keeping secrets and secrets without worrying about bringing secrets into the coffin, I'm a genius! ”

"Are you still a genius? Have you practiced the knife skills I taught you? Are you well memorized with those recipes? What can you do with frying? Hmph, genius! ”

Liu Jiaojiao said that she had suffered 10,000 critical hits, and no one would pay attention to her, she needed to be quiet.

Not long after, Liu Jun brought the brewed chrysanthemum and flower tea, and added sugar to Liu Jiaojiao's cup.

While the three of them were drinking tea, they talked a few more gossips, and after saying a few words, the housekeeper of Lei Mansion came to pick up people, and Lei Zhong, who was worried about missing his granddaughter, would come to pick up people in person for a while, and then he would definitely have to talk to Lao Li Tou again, Liu Jiaojiao had to follow the housekeeper back to the house first.

After returning home, when Lei Zhong saw his good granddaughter, he inevitably asked for warmth again, Liu Jiaojiao naturally sent a lot of good words without money, grandpa and granddaughter filial piety, and the painting style was so warm that the housekeeper wanted to shed a few tears of emotion.

In the afternoon, Liu Jiaojiao slept beautifully in Lei Zhong's well-designed boudoir, and when she woke up, the sky had already begun to darken.

Although Lei Zhong kept saying that Liu Jun and Lao Li Tou were dragging oil bottles, he still prepared a sumptuous banquet, and specially asked the housekeeper to invite the two of them, and the four of them sat around a table and had a beautiful meal.

After the meal, Lei Zhong picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked Liu Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, I have already found the shop for you, I will take you over tomorrow to have a look, if you think it is not suitable, you will find it again." ”

"Okay, but how could the shop you personally selected be inappropriate, grandpa?" On the way back to the house with Liu Jiaojiao, the housekeeper had already reported to her in detail how much effort Lei Zhong had put in to find a shop these days, so even if it was really not suitable, she wouldn't care, the aroma of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, and the location was not a big problem.

Lei Zhong didn't know that what he had done these days had been completely sold by the loyal housekeeper, and although he was very pleased to hear this, he still insisted: "Since you want to do business, then either don't do it, or do it best, so if it's not suitable, you must say it, understand?" ”

"Don't worry, grandpa, I understand." Liu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.

Lao Li Tou snorted, and a bucket of cold water was splashed directly, "First of all, unless your restaurant really encounters any special circumstances, I will never enter the kitchen." ”

Liu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't hide her face, and tears flowed in her heart.

She obviously didn't say anything, why was the plan in her heart seen through by him? How could she fool her master into taking charge of the kitchen herself, so as to make the restaurant famous?

Liu Jun, who knew Liu Jiaojiao's plan, couldn't help laughing, and just wanted to say a few good words for her, but was stopped by a slanted glance from Lao Li's head, so she had to pat her lightly on the shoulder helplessly, which should be comforted.

Lei Zhong immediately retorted for his granddaughter: "Our family's delicate craftsmanship is praised even by the prince, it is enough to have her in the kitchen, and there is no need for you to be a broken old man at all!" ”

"Lord Wang? Girl, what's going on? Lao Li Tou looked at Liu Jiaojiao with a puzzled face.

Liu Jiaojiao suddenly wanted to cry.

The cooking skills praised by the third prince are plug-ins opened by the system, what does this make her tell the master? can only make the third prince with a picky taste a little ugly.

What could she do? She's desperate too!

It is happy to have an extremely protective grandfather, but sometimes this happiness is also mixed with a loss of helplessness, which makes her painful and happy.
