On a hot day, the sunflower pomegranate hair, the nose is fragrant and the lotus flowers are sprayed.

"Girl, it hasn't rained for a few days, I'm afraid it's going to be dry for a while." Liu Mei wiped his sweat and said.

On the streets where people come and go, almost everyone wipes their sweat frequently, and the guy who sells fans is too busy to take care of it.

In the carriage, Wan Chaoyun used a mountain fan to heat it while pondering what to say when he saw Chen Qian.

Just as he was thinking about it, the coachman's voice came, "Girl, it's here." ”

Rose lifted the curtain and went out, put the pedal for Wan Chaoyun, and made an oil-paper umbrella to shade the sun, "Girl, you can come down." ”

Wan Chaoyun poked out of the carriage, his body exposed to the sun, as if from one steamer to another, and the scorching light fell directly from the blue sky, roasting the bluestone slabs on the street.

Wan Chaoyun got out of the carriage and looked around, only to see dozens of people surrounding the main gate of the Chen Mansion, these people were ordinary people, officials, and even foreigners from the local area.

"Girl, slave and maid going to knock?" Liu Mei asked.

It was too hot, there was no wind, and the scorching air, as if frozen, was overwhelming.

"Girl, do you know Master Chen?" Suddenly, someone stepped forward to ask, his eyes were full of hope, he touched the package on his body, "Girl, I'm from Western Xinjiang, I want to see Lord Chen, I have something important to say, girl, please make it convenient." ”

Wan Chaoyun did not salute on his body, and he was dressed in a new pattern when he was in the capital, so it was easy to see that he was not coming from afar.

"Lord Chen has a special staff member to receive your report letter or love letter, I'm sorry, I can't help you." Wan Chaoyun hurriedly avoided it and went to the side door.

Liu Mei had a lot of insight and immediately went to knock on the door, and after a while, the porter poked his head out, and saw that it was Wan Chaoyun and immediately put it in, "Miss Wan, my family is still in the palace, I'm afraid you have to wait." ”

"It's okay, I'll go and say hello to the old lady." Wan Chaoyun was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

When the porter heard this, he glanced at Liu Mei and Rose, and saw that the two of them were empty-handed, and couldn't help muttering secretly, this girl Wan, do you want to bring a gift to the old lady? Although they did not lack her gifts in Nanchen Mansion, they came empty-handed as guests, so they didn't know how to be polite......

Wan Chaoyun didn't know that she had scratched the equal sign of not knowing the number of etiquette in the heart of the concierge, and it was not that she was so rude on purpose, but she really came to Chen Qian to do something, and if she gave a gift, she would be criticized.

Follow the memory all the way to the old lady's yard.

It was too hot, and the old lady couldn't fall asleep, and was playing chess with herself at the water pavilion, when she heard that Wan Chaoyun was coming, she hurriedly smiled and ordered someone to serve tea.

The first time Wan Chaoyun came to the Water Pavilion, if she didn't know that this was Xichen Mansion, she thought that this was a wilderness, but she saw that the Water Pavilion was surrounded by all kinds of wild flowers and weeds, without the slightest trace of artificial carving.

This kind of natural carving also has a unique flavor.

"Say hello to the old lady, old lady Jin'an." Wan Chaoyun said respectfully.

"Don't be so polite, come on, come on, I'm just bored, you came to talk to me." The old lady beckoned, smiling very kindly.

Wan Chaoyun thought of her own grandmother, her grandmother was not as wise as the old lady, and she had been blind for many years, but she was one of the few wise people in the Wan family, if the Wen family had not been condemned back then, she might have smiled at herself so kindly.

Yi Yan sat down and looked at the chess game, the clouds were treacherous and elusive, it was the endgame I had seen before, "The old lady is studying this game?" ”

"You've seen it too?" The old lady was even interested.

"I've seen it, but I don't know how to solve it, what can the old lady see?" She asked humbly.

"How can the old body see any doorway? It's not my unsuccessful son, I always say that using my brain more can prolong my life, so I have to give it to me. The old lady's face was full of disgust, but the joy and pride in her eyes could not be hidden.

Wan Chaoyun was speechless, if she could have an outstanding son like Chen Qian, she would wake up with a smile in her dreams...... But if she really has such an outstanding son, she will also say to outsiders, 'What about my unsuccessful son!' ’

"Come and eat peaches, this is a yellow peach." The old lady pushed the fruit basket on the side over, "It's just a little hard, the old body is not good, you are young, eat more." ”

"Old lady, in fact, yellow peaches are more delicious when pickled." She said canned yellow peaches, but she was afraid that the old lady didn't know what the canned food was, and she had to explain for a long time, so she replaced it with the word pickled.

The old lady obviously didn't plan to discuss chess skills with Wan Chaoyun, a half-grown child, and immediately asked, "How to do it?" ”

"Why don't you borrow the kitchen?"

"Yes, Miss Wan can use it as you like." She said that she was going to get up, and Wan Chaoyun hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The grandmother on the side was extremely pleased, the old lady in the capital has never dared to get so close to other ladies, for fear that they would take advantage of the loopholes, but Miss Wan is special, but today's Miss Wan is much easier than the old lady at the beginning.

Back then, the old lady had no nobles, no ability to do business, and lived a hard life for a long time.

An old man and a young man slowly came to the kitchen, and Liu Mei cleverly brought the basket of yellow peaches.

At this time, there was already a cook in the kitchen who was washing rice and cooking, and when he saw Wan Chaoyun helping the old lady over, he hurriedly came to salute, "I have seen the old lady, but the old lady has orders?" ”

"You're busy." The old lady waved her hand kindly, and said to Wan Chaoyun, "In the past, I also loved to cook and make some food, but now I am old, I can only watch you do it, Miss Wan should not dislike the old body and only eat and not cook." ”

"Where does the old lady speak, it is my blessing to be able to cook food for the old lady." Helping the old lady to sit down in front of the stone table, Wan Chaoyun rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen.

The kitchen is still simple, compared with Wanfu, at first glance, it is simply a day and a place, but if you look closely, you find that it is exquisite everywhere.

"Liu Mei, burn the fire." She commanded.

There were several stoves in the kitchen, but it didn't prevent the cooks from cooking for Chen Qian.

Liu Mei moved quickly and began to make a fire, which Rose sighed to herself, so she consciously brushed the pot, while Wan Chaoyun cleaned the yellow peach, took out the peach pit after washing, and cut the peach flesh into pieces, "Can there be rock sugar?" She asked the Chen cook.

"Yes." The cook hurriedly brought the rock candy.

It just so happened that the pot was also brushed, the fire was very strong, the pot was set up, the water was put in, and a handful of rock sugar was put in.

The old lady couldn't sit still, so she came to the window and stretched out her head to look, and saw Wan Chaoyun boiling rock candy in white water, and couldn't help but be curious, but she didn't ask.

Wan Chaoyun looked around, but didn't see anything like bottles, only some ceramic jars, but none of them met her needs.

After a while, the rock saccharification melted, and she hurriedly put in the yellow peaches.

After boiling for about a quarter of an hour, I got out of the pot, put the yellow peaches and water into the washed ears, and covered the lids, "Is there ice?" She asked the Chen cook.

"Nope." The cook shook his head, the South Chen Mansion is not as luxurious as the West Chen Mansion, and the house never prepares ice.

"Where's the well?" She asked again.

"It's in the courtyard." The cook pointed out the window.

Wan Chaoyun looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a deep well in the courtyard, and there was a bucket for drawing water at the mouth of the well.

"Liu Mei, you go." She said.

Liu Mei understands in seconds, in the past, in Wanjia Village, there was no ice at home, and when she was eating to cool off the heat in summer, she would put the prepared food into the well to cool down, this kind of thing, she is very familiar with.

It seems that the chef of the Chen Mansion has also done this, but he didn't stop it, but just waited curiously.

The old lady was just as curious, and like a child, she didn't plan to leave until evening.

When the ears were taken out, it was already waning. The lid was opened, and the canned yellow peach was presented in front of him, Wan Chaoyun carefully dug a spoonful with a spoon and handed it to the old lady, the old lady took a bite, and immediately her eyes narrowed, "It's delicious, soft, sweet, but you really have it, a peach can also eat flowers." ”

"The old lady likes it, but she can't eat too much." Wan Chaoyun advised.

"Have you learned?" The old lady happily asked the cook of the Chen Mansion.

The cook nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, old lady, the little one has learned, and I will often cook it for you in the future." ”

As he was talking, Chen Qian, who had finished dealing with today's government affairs, came over and asked in a loud voice, "What have you learned?" Tell me about it. ”

"I have bad teeth, so Miss Wan thought of a way to boil the yellow peaches for me to eat, this boiled yellow peach is soft and sweet, you can taste it." When the old lady saw her son coming back, she immediately beckoned him to come and try it.

Wan Chaoyun also saluted with a smile on his face, "I've seen my lord." ”

"No need to be polite." Chen Qian's attention was on the yellow peach, and from a distance, he smelled the aroma, a mouth-warming aroma.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Wan Chaoyun feels that Chen Qian's attitude towards him is different from before, and he can be a little alienated.

However, she still had a well-cultivated smile on her face, and personally gave Chen Qianxin two spoonfuls and handed them over, "Taste it, adult." ”

"Okay." Chen Qian took it and tasted it, and nodded after tasting it, "Not bad." ”

"Miss Wan is exquisite, ordinary peaches can be made so delicious, no wonder they can make cakes that are so pleasing." He ate and praised.

Wan Chaoyun keenly noticed that he didn't like it very much, but as soon as he praised it, she took it as if he liked it too, "My lord has an overreputation." ”

"There are a lot of affairs in Wuwei Residence, and when Wan Girl comes to the house, there must be something, what is the matter?" He ate two spoonfuls of yellow peaches and asked bluntly.

Wan Chaoyun glanced at the old lady and the cook, Chen Qian agreed, and said, "The study said, mother, son will come to talk to you later." ”

"Go, go, go, the old body is tired today and wants to rest." The old lady waved her hand, she was still in a very good mood, Chen Qian didn't like to eat boiled yellow peaches like she didn't eat cakes, but she liked it.

There was a long distance from the kitchen to the study, Wan Chaoyun walked behind Chen Qian, hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, something happened to Wuweiju." ”

"I know." Not only did he know that something had happened to Wuweiju, but he also knew who did it, but unfortunately there was no evidence, and the public opinion that had been released before had also been quelled, and King Yu was unscathed, and this move was considered a waste.

However, he didn't blame Wan Chaoyun, he only blamed himself for not being calm enough.

"I figured out a solution." Wan Chaoyun said again.

"Tell me about it." Chen Qian walked with his hands in his hands, and slowed down his pace, so that Wan Chaoyun could keep up with him without being too tired.

"I want to change to Wuweiju and recruit more talents, my lord, I need your help." Wan Chaoyun walked quickly in front of Chen Qian, blocked his way, and looked up at him expectantly.

Chen Qian lowered his head and looked down at the soft and lovely girl in front of him, her face was full of expectation, and there was a trace of dependence on him in her eyes.

"How do you want this officer to help you?" Before he knew it, his heart relented.

"My lord, this is the contract I wrote, please take a look at it." Wan Chaoyun took the contract from Rose's hand, and this contract had a lot of content, dozens of pages.

Chen Qian took the contract and glanced at it a few times, the girl's words were beautiful and powerful, and it was a beautiful regular script, and her mature wisdom and calm thinking could be seen between the lines, and she couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart.

"The study said." He said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Wan Chaoyun's heart suddenly jumped with joy, and the alienation he felt just now seemed to be gone.

All the way to the study, there is no maid to serve here, Xia Zhiguan personally serves tea, and the skill of cooking tea is very rough, but Wan Chaoyun is not here to drink tea.

Chen Qian was fascinated, and after reading it, he pondered it repeatedly, and he knew in his heart that half an hour had passed, "Miss Wan, this matter is not trivial, I need to discuss it with the emperor, you have to wait." ”

"How long will you wait, sir?" She asked eagerly.

"You're in a hurry?"

"Wuweiju is in a hurry, if it is not solved as soon as possible, Wuweiju will suffer heavy losses." You can lose tens of thousands of taels of silver a day, the hard work of countless people.

Chen Qian pondered for a moment, "It stands to reason that this official has to report your contract to the cabinet, and after the cabinet discusses, he will discuss with His Majesty, and then issue the law, and know the whole country, you are so anxious, in this way, this official will take you to see Your Majesty, and you will explain all your thoughts to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty agrees, the relevant policies will naturally come down soon." ”

"Now?" Wan Chaoyun asked in surprise.

Chen Qian: "......"

I wanted to shake my head, but the ghost nodded my head, "Now." ”

"Thank you, sir!" She laughed happily, and her whole body glowed.

Chen Qian saw her smiling so happily, and sighed lightly, just be tired, let's be tired, presumably Your Majesty hasn't stopped yet, but you have to hurry up, "Go and prepare the car." He instructed Xia Zhiguan.

Xia Zhiguan opened his mouth and wanted to say that you haven't eaten yet......

But when he came into contact with Chen Qian's determined gaze, he shut up, adults will always think about the people like this.

The carriage was quickly prepared, and Wan Chaoyun was originally going to take his own carriage, but Chen Qian said: "The assassins who assassinated the official are generally active at night, so you should take the official's carriage." ”

Wan Chaoyun glanced at Rose and Liu Mei, and couldn't take these two people in Chen Qian's carriage, "Rose, Liu Mei, you two go back to the house first, and then let Lan Qi and Yu Shan pick me up at the gate of the palace." ”

"Yes." Rose also knew that she couldn't protect Wan Chaoyun, so she was busy.

Chen Qian patiently waited for Wan Chaoyun to instruct the maid, and when Wan Chaoyun got into the carriage, Xia Zhiguan skillfully handed the buns and burritos to Chen Qian, who was already in the car, and handed Wan Chaoyun a copy.

Wan Chaoyun: "......"

"This burrito is not bad, there is beef in it, if you are thirsty, the official has tea here." He shook the bamboo tube in his hand, calmly.

Wan Chaoyun suddenly felt a little guilty, he had just come out of the palace after a busy day, and he hadn't eaten a bite of food yet......
