Today, the four princes got married, and the dining room was busy preparing for the banquet, but they didn't dare to be perfunctory when they brought refreshments and dishes to Liu Yan, and they still did it extremely exquisitely. Mixed with three silks, fish jelly, steamed tofu, and puff pastry chicken are all things that Liu Yan usually eats and likes. There are two kinds of soup, the salty one is crab porridge, and the sweet one is almond cheese. There are four kinds of dim sum, but from this dim sum, it can be seen that there is a happy event in the palace today. Because the first of the four dim sum is the joy cake, the difference between the cake and the usual pastry is that the words and patterns printed on it are different, the four stacks of cakes are neatly placed on the plate, and the top pastry is printed with the words hundred, year, good and together. The other three kinds of dim sum are shortbread and fruit cake.

It's not the first time that Liu Yan and Lu Yi have eaten together, but it's just the two of them, and this is the first time.

And this time in the palace, Liu Yan had a very good posture of being a host, and raised his hand to greet: "You're welcome, but you have to eat enough." ”

Lu Yicai was not polite to her, picked up a small flower scroll, and said with a smile: "The things in the palace are really delicate and delicate. ”

Then he bit off most of the flower roll in one bite - it seemed that there was still enough strength to spare, and it would probably be easy for him to swallow it in one bite.

However, Liu Yan is not the kind of girl who has never seen the world, she is very particular about her life after entering the palace, but she grew up in the countryside before entering the palace, and she has seen and eaten all of them. She had also seen other people in the same village make cakes, which were so thick that they were as high as her waist.

Liu Yan ate one of the plates of flower rolls, and then the rest was reimbursed by Zhao Yi. As for the shortbread, Lu Yi ate half a plate, and only ate one piece of the fruit cake.

This plate of fruit cake has a hawthorn flavor, a duck pear flavor, and a chestnut flavor, and the one Lu Yi eats is the hawthorn flavor.

It seems that he doesn't like to eat sour things.

As for the four side dishes, after Liu Yan tasted everything, the plate was quickly empty.

Lu Yi also asked: "This steamed tofu tastes extremely delicious, has it been steamed and simmered with broth?" ”

Liu Yan really hasn't studied the method, but the bean soup often goes to the dining room, which he has either seen or heard people say.

"Back to the princess and Lord Lu, this tofu is filled with chicken paste and shrimp pulp, and simmered in chicken broth, so the taste is extraordinarily delicious."

Lu Yi smiled: "No wonder it tastes so good." ”

Liu Yan also smiled: "The cooking in the palace is like this, there are many processes, and the ingredients are complicated, this tofu is tossed like this, and the value is not comparable to ordinary tofu." ”

Liu Yan was also full of words, and when Lu Yi put down the dishes and chopsticks, this table of dishes, except for a few pieces of shortbread and fruit cake, was all eaten.

Liu Yan is considered to be the host today, and the guests swept away the food, which is quite a matter of saving face for the host, but Liu Yan is still a little scared.

"What are you eating...... Doesn't your stomach feel uncomfortable? ”

The things that were set up on the table just now were for Liu Yan to eat alone, enough for her to eat four or five meals. But for these things, Lu Yi was reimbursed in one go, and it seemed that he was still unsatisfied?

"It's done." Lu Yi took a sip of tea: "I haven't eaten seriously for several days." I got up in the middle of the night today, and I didn't eat a few bites of food before I was busy with today's greeting of relatives, and I didn't eat a serious meal until now. ”

"You haven't eaten in a day?" No wonder you are hungry like this: "The Yuan family didn't entertain you?" ”

The customs of welcoming relatives are different in various places, but here in the capital, generally speaking, the woman's family has wine and dinner to entertain.

"Yes, yes, but it's all for show, who really let go of eating and drinking in their house? I didn't eat a serious meal, but I was persuaded to have several bowls of wine, but I was fine, looking at the two companions who went to meet my relatives together, and when I came back, I was not very stable on the horse, and I was shaky. ”

"It's so hard for you." Liu Yan said this very sincerely: "Although I didn't go with me, I think you must not be easy today, then I will replace the wine with tea, thank you for your dedication to the little brother." ”

Lu Yi smiled, also picked up the tea, and said, "It should be." Then he dried a cup of tea.

Liu Yan always felt that this sentence should have a deep meaning.

Is it for the little brother and his friendship, or for himself?

However, there are some things that need not be said thoroughly, and the interesting part is between the transparent and the untransparent.

Liu Yan asked him: "You just came back from a trip, you have to rest for a few days, right?" I used to hear my brother say that your errand should be an idle errand, why are you so busy every day that your feet don't touch the ground? ”

Lu Yi replied with a smile: "In fact, there is no difference between leisure and hard work in the errands in this world, if you don't want to do things, then no matter how important the position is, you can be lazy and enjoy leisure every day." ”

"Then you are the kind of person who wants to do things yourself, I really can't see that you are so diligent."

Lu Yi waved his hand: "I can't say diligence, but I'm such a person, just such a temperament." If I knew, I couldn't let this matter hang there, and if I didn't solve it, I would dream about it at night, and the food would not be delicious. ”

"Your temper is ......" Liu Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's funny." ”

No wonder he checked the backlog of cases at the beginning of his errand, and then he was always idle, Liu Yan sometimes felt tired for him when he thought about it.

This person is really hard and stubborn, no wonder he can run away from home and have no contact with his father and brother.

When they first met, Liu Yan felt that Lu Yi was a person who loved to talk and laugh and seemed to have a good temper. But that's the appearance, this person is actually very stubborn, and his heart is extraordinarily resolute. Think about it, if you are really a weak and easy-going person, and you can have the perseverance to go through so many places, ordinary people can't stand this sin and can't endure this suffering. Many of the places Lu Yi has been to have no road even have a road, I really don't know how he walked all the way.

What is rare is that he came back safely, without missing arms and legs, and wrote that fresh and interesting travelogue.

After he became the official of Dali Temple, he plunged into it, and this focus and sincerity made many people stunned, suspecting that this person seemed to have changed his core, and the previous infamous and unruly Lu family rebel was like two people.

They are in the pavilion, and they can still hear the music and faint human voices from the Chongde Hall in the distance, and you can imagine how lively the Chongde Hall is at this time.

Liu Yan listened to this faint voice, and felt a little happy and a little sad in his heart.

People in the world always want to get married, and the matter of getting married is particularly important. Liu Yan was ignorant two years ago, but now she suddenly found out that all her brothers and sisters actually had relatives - even the fifth princess was married, she seemed to be left behind by everyone at once, they all went away, leaving her alone.
