As soon as Lin Fengxuan said this, she immediately felt that she was stared at by several deep and cold eyes.

This gaze, there are Zhen Guohou, Shen Shao, Chen Xiuli, the little eunuch who recorded the record, and Hua Manxi.

"Naturally, there is evidence, I am not familiar with him, everyone in Yipinju knows, and besides, I have already come up with this menu, even the ingredients have been taken, my father-in-law has a record here, why should I change it with him? I remember all the names of the menu, and I know what it is, but I don't necessarily know my dish. ”

Hua Manxi paused, and said to himself: "The first few dishes on the No. 7 menu, Fengfeng into the bamboo forest, are fried bamboo shoots with chicken, Hua Hao Yue is fried pigeon eggs with shrimp, and climbing Yushu is stewed sausages with chicken feet." The mother and son meet and the peerless duo are fried soybeans with bean sprouts and fried red peppers with green chilies, and the eight treasures hidden in the golden box are stuffed tofu. The dessert is actually hawthorn cake. ”

Hua Manxi said that, the prince immediately sent someone to see the dishes of the No. 7 stove, and Hua Manxi said that the score was exactly the same, his face was cold, and he passed the cook of the No. 7 stove up.

The cook didn't expect Hua Manxi to be here, and knowing that things were not good, he immediately weakened his knees and knelt down.

Without interrogation, he knew that what Hua Manxi said was indeed true, and the prince immediately ordered someone to beat that person to twenty boards, and then confiscate him.

The Imperial Chef Contest ended, and Xiao Wu and Xu Jingjing were on the list, and three days later, they were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register and enter the palace.

Hua Manxi finished the important matter in her heart, and received the news that her mother's uncle and his party had arrived in Kyoto, and Wang Shishi had already prepared to take the person to the house next door to the shop.

After the game, after Hua Manxi got the selected golden kitchen knife, he rushed to the shop to reunite with his family.

No, when she entered the house, everyone in the family was sad, especially her mother, whose eyes were also red.

"Mother, uncle, aunt, what's wrong with you?" Hua Manxi asked in astonishment.

"Son, my miserable son!" When Aunt Hua and Hua Lanxiang saw Hua Manxi, they both pounced, hugged her and began to wipe her tears.

"What's going on? Isn't that okay with me? I'm good news for you, I've chosen the Imperial Chef! Hua Manxi was puzzled, although the house was set on fire, but the family was fine, because it was found early, and it did not cause any big losses, why did they have such a sad face?

Hua Lanxiang glanced at Hua Manxi with tears in her eyes, and stopped talking, and her aunt also looked at her fixedly, her eyes full of reluctance and tenderness.

"Presumably this is the eldest lady of our family, right?" Hua Manxi was wondering, and a slightly flattering and contrived voice came.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw several strange men standing behind her uncle, led by a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked loyal and honest, but the light in his eyes was too complicated, relieved, mocking, and gloating.

"This is—" Hua Manxi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and raised her eyes to look at Hua Lanxiang.

Hua Lanxiang didn't know how to speak, and was hesitating for a while, when the middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a happy face: "It's really the eldest lady of our family, this appearance is six points like our master!" Eldest Miss, my name is Fuda, is the housekeeper of the Weiguo Mansion, the thing is like this, seventeen years ago, our master, that is, today's Wei Guogong went to Anzhou to suppress bandits, the situation was grim, was seriously injured, fortunately Mrs. Lan rescued, the two of them were affectionate to each other, and gave birth to you, but after our lord returned to Beijing, he was seriously injured because of the rescue, and was sick in bed for several months. Later, I sent someone to look for it, but there was no trace of Mrs. Lan, and the master has been looking for you all these years. ”

Hua Manxi listened, although she was a little surprised, but she was not out of shape, she raised her eyes and glanced at Hua Lanxiang, Hua Lanxiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded at her.

"Now that we have finally found Mrs. Lan and the eldest lady, let's go back to the house, shall we? I have already informed the government to prepare to come to the dust washing feast, and when I choose a good day, the eldest lady can recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. Steward Fu said with a sincere face.

"Weiguo Mansion, but the surname is Lin?" Hua Manxi was not as surprised as Steward Fu expected, but asked very calmly.

Isn't the Protector Mansion the family of Lin Fengxuan who is against him today? If this is the case, wouldn't Lin Fengxuan be her half-sister?

It's really a bad fate.

Seeing Hua Manxi's calm demeanor, his voice was gentle, and he advanced and retreated in a certain way, not like the eyeless girl from the countryside in his imagination, he was a little puzzled, if he changed to another girl's family, from a poor girl to the daughter of Wei Guogong, he would not be surprised to jump his feet?

He pressed down on his doubts and replied, "It's the surname Lin." ”

"Is it the family that made a marriage with the prince of Zhenguo?" Hua Manxi asked again.

Steward Nafu sighed in his heart, but he had seen the world after all, so naturally he would not shake out Mrs. Lin's purpose so quickly.

He said cautiously: "Our young lady is indeed married to Zhenguo Gong, Zhenguo Gong is also one of the best families in Kyoto, and the son of Zhenguo Gong was named Marquis at a young age, and the future is immeasurable. ”

He deliberately said that he would talk about people for Hua Manxi in the future, just to dispel their doubts, but he didn't want Hua Manxi to say with a cold face: "You go to tell your master, just say that I, Hua Manxi, thank him for giving me a life, but I was raised by my uncle and my aunt's mother, from the countryside, and I am naturally incompatible with you Kyoto nobles. ”

As soon as she said this, Steward Nafu was directly dumbfounded.

He originally thought that this big good thing had fallen, how could the people of their Hua family be grateful to Dai De, who knew that this little girl actually said that she didn't recognize her relatives? Or a royal chef?

"Oh, Miss, what are you talking about? You don't want to do it with a good Miss Weiguo Mansion and go to be a cook? Even if it's a royal chef, it's not a good job! The master in the palace is not easy to serve, you obediently recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, learn the rules from your wife, and then talk about a good family business in the future, and be a young lady, isn't it? Besides, if you follow your uncle's surname, it will always be bad for your reputation and affect your kiss! ”

"I've already retired once, so I don't care much about the kiss, and I don't plan to live in Kyoto for a long time, and after entering the palace to see it, I still have to go back to Shishan County." Hua Manxi's face was cold, and he said mercilessly.

"How can this work? Grandpa Guo has always been thinking about you two, Mrs. Lan, you can persuade the eldest lady. Steward Fu made a sad look, "Grandpa Guo has been talking to you for so many years, eldest lady, what does he say is also your own father." ”

Hua Lanxiang saw that Hua Manxi was dark and resolute, and she couldn't make up her mind, and said: "Steward Fu, you go back to the house first, Manxi is suddenly unacceptable, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accept, let's persuade her again." ”

Steward Fu sighed helplessly and said, "That's the best, then there's Mrs. Laulan." ”

Hua Lanxiang sent them out of the door again, and after Hua Lanxiang turned around and went back, the housekeeper Nafu put away the smile on his face, spat in a dark and gloomy manner, and said coldly: "Phew! I don't know what to do! Do you really think you're a serious lady? Shame on the face! When you want to recognize your relatives, I'm afraid the door of the Guogong Mansion will not be so easy to enter! ”

Hua Lanxiang naturally didn't hear such ugly words, she returned to the house worriedly, and saw that Hua Manxi was still standing in place, looking unpredictable, she was a little drumming in her heart, and stepped forward and asked: "Manxi, what do you think, do you really want to recognize your relatives?" Don't you have a very good relationship with that Xu Gongzi? If you recognize your relatives and have a good family, it is indeed easier to talk about your family, even if you marry into the family of Xu Gongzi, you will have confidence. ”

When it came to Xu Gongzi, Hua Manxi's heart was on fire, and his face became even colder: "Don't mention him in the future, Xu Gongzi is dead." ”

Since going to Beijing, Xu Jinfei has completely cut off contact with her, she has a feeling that the prince of Zhenguo is Xu Jinfei, but he refuses to recognize him, thinking that it is because he was given marriage by His Majesty, he has a better choice, where do you remember your little village girl?

"What? He's dead! Hua Lanxiang and the others didn't know that Hua Manxi was talking angrily, and when they were suddenly stimulated, their bodies shook, and they fainted.

"Mother! What happened to you! What's going on! Don't you hate him the most! Hua Manxi hurriedly grabbed Hua Lanxiang and asked his subordinates to invite the doctor.

It's acupuncture again, it's medicine again, after tossing and turning, Hua Lanxiang finally woke up slowly, and when she saw Hua Manxi, her eyes were full of tears, and she said in a dumb voice: "Son, my hard-working daughter!" How are you as bitter as your mother! ”

"I don't cry, I'm the imperial chef now, but I'm going to enter the palace, I'm still young, maybe I'll do a good job in the palace as an imperial chef, the master is happy, and there are also princes and nobles who give me to marry, mother, don't worry." Hua Manxi held Hua Lanxiang's hand and persuaded.

"You can't fool me, that feeling, I've tasted, I've tasted." Hua Lanxiang burst into tears like rain, and said continuously, "This is too bitter, too bitter." ”

A look of pain flashed in Hua Manxi's eyes, and he asked, "What do you think of that mother, do you want to enter the Lin Mansion as an aunt?" ”

Hua Lanxiang shook her head and sighed in a low voice: "It's been more than ten years, I don't even remember his appearance very clearly, besides, although our Hua family is poor, my father and mother have never taught me to be a concubine, I won't be an aunt, besides——"
