"How did you do that?" A cook in charge asked.

Regardless of whether it was only Yi Gongzi who ordered the dim sum made by Lin Xiaozhu, a family of banquet guests must not just make such a bowl and present it to the banquet. Otherwise, other guests want to taste it when they see it, but they say that they only make one bowl, which is extremely rude.

"This thing is just civilian food, only fresh, presumably those nobles are not interested in eating it. And since it was Yi Gongzi who specially ordered me to make snacks, I was afraid that it would not be good if I delayed it for a long time. Otherwise, grab a few more bowls. If there is a noble person who wants to taste it, just divide the two directly. Lin Xiaozhu said.

"Alright, let's send it quickly." Sister-in-law Li spoke, walked over and filled the food box with sugar, oil, baba and bowls, and handed them to the girl.

The girl didn't answer, and glanced at Lin Xiaozhu: "Yi Gongzi said, let Miss Xiaozhu send it personally." ”

Sister-in-law Li's expression froze, and she raised her eyes to look at Lin Xiaozhu.

Lin Xiaozhu believed that Shen Ziyi would not harm her, since he deliberately let her out, there must be his intentions. At that moment, he gave Sister-in-law Li a reassuring look, took the food box, and said to the girl, "Let's go." ”

Su Xiaoshu stood up suddenly: "Miss Xiaozhu, I'll go with you." ”

"No, you don't." Lin Xiaozhu turned his head, looked at Su Xiaoshu, and shook his head, "Yi Gongzi only called me alone, if you want to follow, the prince and the prince will be unhappy." With that, he winked at her and walked out.

Su Xiaoshu knew that Lin Xiaozhu didn't want her to take risks together, so she was not at ease and wanted to catch up, but Sister-in-law Li pulled her arm and said in a low voice: "Yi Gongzi asked her to go." You'd better stay here with me; Even if I went, I couldn't help much. ”

"Yes, no one else will call your name, you run away without permission. What's it? There were some cooks next to her who were not used to Su Xiaoshu and said coldly.

Su Xiaoshu glared fiercely at the man who spoke, bit his lip, and looked at Lin Xiaozhu who was getting farther and farther away outside the door. His eyes were full of worry.

Sister-in-law Li thought about it, left the kitchen, and went to the yard to make a strange shape with a flower pot.

For the convenience of serving. The large kitchen is not far from the front yard. Lin Xiaozhu followed Yahuan for a long time, and then arrived in the front yard. Because the old emperor was critically ill. Although his illness was not announced, King Duan was worried that he would be impeached after he ascended the throne, saying that the emperor still feasted guests when he was critically ill. Therefore, on the birthday of Princess Duan, only seven or eight princes, ministers and their wives who were close to him were left to have a banquet here, and the banquet was set up in two halls in a front yard. The male and female seats are separated by no more than two arches, one in the main courtyard and one in the side courtyard. And the form of the hall. Instead of eating around a round table as in later generations, a few tables are laid out in a brightly lit hall, and some dishes and snacks are placed on each table, in the form of a Western cocktail party, so that everyone can talk; The food used was not extravagant, just some ordinary dishes and snacks, not even wine.

Lin Xiaozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yahuan took her everywhere she went, and there was no figure of the county lord of Wanhua. At this time, she can't wait to be an invisible person. Let a sleeping dog lie. But once the county lord of Wanhua is here, he will treat her as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, where will he let her go?

"Tsubasa. Miss Lin Xiaozhu's dim sum is here. That Yahuan took Lin Xiaozhu and quietly entered the hall from the corner door where the food was delivered, walked in front of Shen Ziyi, and said.

Lin Xiaozhu looked around the hall, and saw that everyone was talking to each other, and didn't seem to notice her arrival, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed, opened the food box, and took out the bowl of sugar and oil baba from it.

Shen Ziyi's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Xiaozhu, and he pointed to the dim sum she presented and asked, "What is this?" ”

"A new food, sugar and oil. Although the ingredients are simple, Xiaozhu feels that the taste is not bad. Lin Xiaozhu saw that other people were paying attention to this, and Yuan Zhi seemed to look over as well, and explained, "But this is a civilian food, Xiaozhu only made a few of them, please taste them." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Shen Ziyi with an inquiring look, hoping to get his hint so that he could retreat immediately.

Shen Ziyi wanted to make his words clear, but when he saw that a fat man in his fifties had come over, he glanced at the bowl from afar and asked, "What good things?" ”

However, before the man's words could be silenced, a maid appeared out of nowhere, blessed Shen Ziyi, and said, "Yi Gongzi, I heard that you asked your subordinates to make special food, and our county lord said that he should also taste it, to see what kind of dim sum can make Yi Gongzi unforgettable." This "subordinate" and "never forget" bite very hard, which makes people listen to the sour feeling of the county lord of Wanhua.

It seems that as soon as he heard him say that he would let Lin Xiaozhu make food, the county lord of Wanhua had already sent someone to wait here to keep an eye on him. Shen Ziyi was extremely annoyed. But this is Duanwang's mansion, and all the people present here are Duanwang's henchmen, so it's not good for me to have a war of words with her. Seeing that there were clean empty bowls in Lin Xiaozhu's food box, Shen Ziyi took matters into his own hands, pulled out two sugar and oil poops into the two bowls, divided them into three parts, and said to the maid: "Now, take it to your county lord to taste." He said enthusiastically to the man seated, "Dingguo Gong, do you want to taste this food too?" ”

The pot-bellied Dingguo Gong stretched out his head to look at the bowl, and saw that the baba inside was like a big ball, round and bright, but he was not polite, and picked it up and said, "Okay, taste it." ”

The maid of the county lord of Wanhua saw that Shen Ziyi was talking to Dingguo Gong, and this snack was divided into two, so she couldn't say anything, so she had to take the bowl and go back to report to her master.

Shen Ziyi really didn't care about this food, and when he saw Dingguo Gong pick up the bowl, he tasted it casually, and then raised his head without knowing the taste, and said, "It's really good." Then he turned his head and said to a middle-aged man standing behind him, "Shen Fu, reward." ”

That Shen Fu responded, took out a silver ingot from his arms, it seemed to be ten taels, walked up to Lin Xiaozhu and said, "Na, the son will reward you." ”

Lin Xiaozhu thanked him and took the silver, but his hand was suddenly pinched hard by Shen Fu. She looked up and saw Shen Fu wink at her, then smiled again and retreated behind Shen Ziyi.

This should be Shen Ziyi's hint. It's just that Shen Fu pinched it, what does it mean? Lin Xiaozhu was confused. Glancing at Ding Guogong, who was burying her head in eating poop, she raised her eyes and looked at Shen Ziyi with an inquiring gaze.

Shen Ziyi ignored her, and when he saw Yuan Zhi talking to a minister and walking towards this side, he pretended to be impatient, waved his hand to Lin Xiaozhu and said, "Okay, go down." ”

"Yes." Lin Xiaozhu saw that Shen Ziyi's face suddenly changed, and he expected that there was someone standing behind him, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he picked up the food box, bowed, and was about to retreat, but Yuan Zhi's slightly dissatisfied voice came from behind him: "Yi Gongzi, isn't it that the food in my house is so unpalatable, so you can't eat enough, and you have to personally make it for you to eat?" ”

Shen Ziyi put the bowl heavily on the case, made a "dangchang" sound, raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhi coldly: "My son came to the mansion to have a banquet, but he just had a snack, and your brother and sister came to mock me one by one." Excuse me, what do you mean? ”

While speaking, he was secretly happy to see Lin Xiaozhu retreating quickly from the corner gate very smartly.

Yuan Zhi glanced at Lin Xiaozhu gloomily, didn't stop her, turned his face and said to Shen Ziyi with a smile on his face: "The little brother is just joking, don't worry about Yi Gongzi, the little brother is here to make amends to Yi Gongzi." After speaking, he made a deep sigh. For the sake of a cook, offending Yi Gongzi is not worth it.

Shen Ziyi snorted, his face was still not good. Yuan Zhi had to say a few more good words.

When Lin Xiaozhu came, Yahuan led the way, and when she retreated this time, Yahuan refused to take this trip, but fortunately, she remembered the way when she came, went out of the corner gate, walked through the courtyard, and went around into the corridor in the direction of coming. But suddenly she heard a gust of wind in her ears, and before she could react, someone covered her mouth, and then her arms were tightly bound, and her body was light, and she was carried up into the air and fell behind the girder on the top of the cloister. The man behind him saw her struggling desperately, and hurriedly whispered: "Miss Xiaozhu, don't panic, I was sent by Gongzi to pick you up." I'll send it to your Yi Gongzi's carriage in a while, you hide there and wait for Yi Gongzi to get on the car and leave, and then stay in Shen Yuan. After the incident, Childe will naturally pick you up. After speaking, he said, "I let go of the girl's mouth, the girl is silent, I will show the girl's token." ”

Lin Xiaozhu heard this and nodded. The man let go of her, took out the token from his arms, and put it in front of her for her to see, Lin Xiaozhu recognized that this was Yuan Tianye's token, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Seeing that there was no movement around him, the man rose into the air and jumped onto a tree.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the subordinates of Duanwang's Mansion were busy lighting the lights everywhere, which was the most busy and the most dazzling time. The man seemed to be very familiar with the path of Duanwang's Mansion, and he jumped into the courtyard in front of Duanwang's Mansion in three leaps. There were many carriages parked in the courtyard, and the coachmen had been invited to eat by the Duanwang Mansion, and they were chatting together with belching. The man was bold, and while everyone was not paying attention, he jumped to the nearest carriage, and then swam along the carriage, sending Lin Xiaozhu to a richly decorated carriage, lifting the cushion covered with exquisite embroidery, motioning for Lin Xiaozhu to lie in, and then restoring the seat, and then dodged out of the carriage, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

That day in Yuan's Mansion, when he was leaving, Yuan Tianye had instructed Shen Ziyi to let him leave early at the banquet. Shen Ziyi thought that Yuan Tianye was worried that he would leave Lin Xiaozhu alone in the carriage and wait for an accident for a long time, so he had no intention of sitting again. Estimating in his heart, Lin Xiaozhu had already arrived in his carriage, so he stood up, said a few perfunctory words to Yuan Zhi, walked to King Duan, confessed his guilt, and retired early. King Duan stayed at the banquet at that time, he was just talking about face, and he thought that he would not stay. But Shen Ziyi unexpectedly stayed. At this time, he left early, King Duan couldn't wait, and said with a smile: "Thank you Yi Gongzi for sending ten catties of cherries over to this king for a banquet. ”

("Sister Xiaoshu, please burn the fire" in the previous chapter, should be "Sister Su Mei, please burn the fire", thank you for my correction.)
