The king of England was also full of surprise, and immediately got up and walked over to hold Long Dafu's hand, and solemnly bowed: "I am really very happy to meet the benefactor of the day again, this dragon brother, is the mother-in-law okay, the body is tough?" Why don't you send a letter back, if your family is willing, they will all come to the capital, and I will buy you a house and a slave, and settle down here, and you will suffer less from the wind and frost. ”

Long Dafu was also very excited, and immediately returned the salute: "The prince is serious, not to mention the benefactor, grandma she is old, and she is even more reluctant to leave her homeland, although the capital is prosperous and the climate is good, but the long journey is not easy, and the parents have to take care of the people in a village, and they can't do without, thank you for the prince's kindness." ”

King Ying nodded: "Yes, then you give me the address, I will send some people over to repair the old man's house, and send some things, if there is anything to come, don't be polite." ”

Long Dafu scratched his head, and was about to salute again, but was helped up by Lu Guiyi: "Good brother, don't talk about false etiquette." It's better to be like this, let's choose a day than to hit the sun, in this fragrant courtyard, worship to the full moon and the night sky as brothers, which is a little sincerity to your family. ”

"It's... How can this be done, you are the king of England, you are a member of the royal family, you can't casually worship a commoner like me! Long Dafu waved his hand again and again, and his honest face was incredulous.

The reason why the people in the royal family are very noble is because they are the masters of the country, and other people are very different, and the identity can not be confused, although there are examples of canonization, but generally will not give real power, not to mention the worship of people, in case the person who worships is a scheming villain, according to the identity of the royal family members to do evil outside, it will hurt the dignity of the entire royal family.

"What's the matter, it's the chivalrous Lu Gui and the grandson of the life-saving benefactor, and he has nothing to do with the King of England." The King smiled frankly and patted Long Daifuku's thick shoulder.

Hearing this, Long Dafu's heart calmed down a little, but he was still extremely happy, and his face was full of joyful smiles. The meaning of Lu Gui's words is that he bowed to him privately under the witness of these people, and did not publicize it to the public, which did not affect his life, and expressed his intention to repay him, which is the best of both worlds.

Mu Ruqing and the others have almost eaten a meal, and they don't need the maids and servants to come over, they themselves carry two plates or pack up a handful of chopsticks and take them to the kitchen, and after a while, the table will be cleaned up and wiped clean. Removing the seats around her, Ruan Mianmian brought a few more plates of fruits, Liu Xin'er found two large candles and lit them on the table, and a simple tribute table was ready.

The table was placed in the middle of the courtyard, facing the white moon, and the two candles flickered and swayed, stretching the shadows of the people on both sides.

Lu Gui and Long Dafu stepped forward together, and even Lu Gui, who had always been hippie and smiling, was a little more solemn, and the two of them knelt down on the futon on one knee together, and said in unison:

"The sky is above, and the earth is below."

"I'm going back,"

"I'm Long Dafu,"

"Work together, protect each other, inherit the destiny of heaven, respect kindness, become brothers, and never deceive each other."

After saying the oath, the two of them glanced at each other, took the two wide-mouthed bowls with half a bowl of wine held by Ruan Mianmian and Zhu En, respectively, picked up the dagger on the table that had been burned at high temperature in the palm of his hand, cut the cut without hesitation, dripped the blood into the wine, and then exchanged wine bowls and drank down, completing the simple but meaningful worship ceremony, a real blood alliance.

Early the next morning, Yipinxiang posted a notice outside the door before it opened for business, claiming that Yipinxiang's newly recruited chef left his job yesterday to go home to visit relatives for personal reasons, and Yipinxiang's new chefs were only Qin Feng and Long Dafu, and also announced that the lord of Ruliang County was frightened by the wind and cold yesterday, bedridden, and could not come out to eat and broadcast for the time being, expressed his apologies, and promised to order the signature dishes of the two new chefs and give an additional small fried meat.

Mu Ruqing's idea is naturally to clear up Li Binghai's affairs first, and then push Qin Feng and Long Dafu out, once they become popular, Uncle Hua and Wang Xun can be regarded as successors, and those unique skills such as the preparation and boiling of hot pot can also be taught to them.

Ruan Mianmian was threatened by the people of the Wei State Mansion yesterday, although it was not explained in the announcement, but the people who saw it yesterday were not few, plus it could be fanned and spread, and the people on the street could hear two discussions, and the people who felt sorry for Ruan Mianmian naturally hated the Wei State Mansion, causing the servants of the Wei State Mansion to come out to buy vegetables for fear of being recognized.

In Mu Ruqing's words, this is the power of "public opinion".

After the opening of Yipinxiang, the guests came to the store to eat in waves, and today it was the first time that Qin Feng and Long Dafu were officially opened, so they got up extra early to prepare, and Uncle Hua also carefully prepared the hot pot and all kinds of ingredients, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and there was no difference between the prosperous Yipinxiang in the past.

The back door opened quietly, and Jiang Xinyue, who was dressed in lotus lotus-colored palace clothes, was helped into the carriage of the county lord by two big palace maids with cloaks, one left and one right, and a little girl holding a box followed behind, and six second-class palace maids neatly got into a slightly more elegant carriage behind, and the coachman sat in front and raised his whip with a crisp "snap", and the carriage slowly drove up the long street.

The curtains of the carriage were closed, and the people outside could not see the situation inside, and the atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat relaxed. One of the little girls wearing the palace women's costume casually lifted her hood and untied her cloak, revealing Yuxue's cute little round face, which was Ruan Mianmian, the lord of Ruliang County, who was "recuperating" behind closed doors in Yipinxiang.

She smiled sweetly at Jiang Xinyue, revealing two bright little tiger teeth, and then picked up the teacup on the small table and drank two sips, only then did she settle down.

"County Lord, you are too bold, just now Boss Mu is on the second floor to explain the matter, you dare to change your clothes and come out without permission, and you are not afraid that Boss Mu will see it." Fufeng smiled and joked, and raised his hand to pick up the teapot and refill it for her.

"No, I'm well-dressed today, and he's busy with his feet not touching the ground, so where can I go to my room to see if I'm there, and tread water to take care of it." Ruan Mianmian didn't care, pinched the pastry on the table, and gave it to Jiang Xinyue to stuff one in her mouth, and then ate it herself.

Jiang Xinyue looked at Ruan Mianmian's appearance of being okay, and she was also happy in her heart, she had quietly discussed with Mu Ruqing last night, and asked Ruan Mianmian to come out to relax, looking at Wei Xunyi's subjugation, Mu Ruqing was naturally avoiding them, and would not find out that Ruan Mianmian fled in disguise.

The little girl holding the box on the side was slender, and it was Xin'er, the maid of the county lord's mansion that Ruan Mianmian liked very much in the past two days, so she specially ordered her to accompany her out, of course, nominally to accompany the county lord of Jingshu to go out.

Xin'er was younger, so she was more lively and unrestrained, and at this time she put the box she was holding aside and opened it, which contained all kinds of gold and silver dishes, cups and plates, as well as some small objects that might be used. This kind of outgoing box is prepared by the ladies and ladies of many large families, especially the nobles in the palace, because they are afraid that someone will wait for the opportunity to poison, so they must bring their own tableware and cups, and never use things outside, which also makes those with ill intentions have no chance.

Xin'er carefully took out the first layer, took out two more plates of pastries from the lower layer and sent them to the table, and then skillfully put away the box, and sat down on her knees again to wait for the dispatch.

Ruan Mianmian ate the pastry for a while, and suddenly spoke: "By the way, sister, I forgot to say something yesterday." ”

"Oh? What's up? Jiang Xinyue tilted her head.

"I want to ask you for a girl, it's her, Xin'er, I liked her as soon as I saw her yesterday, why don't you follow me to be a big girl, I just lack a personal palace maid." Ruan Mianmian pointed to Xin'er on the side, and shook Jiang Xinyue's arm flatteringly, revealing expectant eyes.

"Naturally, it's good, you don't have to tell me about this kind of thing, just call the girls in the house if you like someone, two days ago I discussed with Ruqing that you are already the county lord, but there is no one around you who is waiting, and it doesn't sound good to say it." Jiang Xinyue rubbed Ruan Mianmian's hair dotingly, and straightened the somewhat crooked beads on her head for her.

"Thank you, sister, and wait until I ask her." Ruan Mianmian thanked him sweetly, then turned around and asked Xin'er a little seriously: "Xin'er, are you willing to come out of the county lord's mansion and follow me, to be a first-class palace maid, there are a lot of money." ”

Xin'er was a little overwhelmed by the surprise on the side, she was bought to be the little maid of the county lord's mansion is already a blessing that she dare not think, who knew that she was taken by the county lord of Ruliang and wanted to be promoted to be a first-class palace maid, that is the same magnificent status as helping the wind and treading water, and Ruan Mianmian is right, she only has five hundred dollars a month for sprinkling and sweeping the little maid, but there are five taels of silver to be a big girl, and it is not a common reward, which is indeed a great thing.

"The slave and maid are willing, thank you for the promotion of the county lord, the slave and maid must serve well, and there is no second heart." Xin'er made a big bow with some restraint and sat down behind Ruan Mianmian, indicating that she was already Ruan Mianmian's personal maid.

Ruan Mianmian thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "Your name is Xin'er, although it is gentle and beautiful, but it is the name of Sister Yue and Sister Xin'er over there, why don't you change your name?" ”

Xin'er immediately replied: "Thank you for the name, the slave and maid are grateful." ”

Jiang Xinyue looked at Xin'er, although she was young, but she reacted quickly and behaved properly, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still my sister who can choose, she is really smart and clever, and she will become a great tool if she trains for a while." ”

Ruan Mianmian shrugged her shoulders slyly: "Hehe, if my sister regrets it and wants to go back, I have already named her, just call her, hold the lamp, okay?" ”
