"Tough and meticulous, ambitious. These two words are not like the little Ling'er I know, and what words that person says are like his person, which is really ridiculous. Xiaoling'er, do you say yes? ”

He obviously heard what the man in Taozhen said in the middle of the house, and through those eyes like peach blossoms, Jiang Cailing felt the surging aura of an instant, and the murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

"You're stalking me?"

"The word tracking seems a bit deliberate, but it is better to say that you and I have a heart, and we are all going to the same place."

Jiang Cailing raised a smile on her lips, and raised the vegetable basket she was carrying in her hand, "Su Gongzi must have heard the news of the main competition between Ling'er and Nanzhao Gong, and Ling'er will go back to practice cooking and take his leave." ”

Su Qingcheng didn't stop her, and when Jiang Cailing and him staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, a voice floated from above her head, "Xiao Ling'er, I wish you a wonderful day after tomorrow." ”

The day after tomorrow, it was the day of her competition.

After Jiang Cailing returned home, she followed the cook of the He family to learn cooking for a day and a night, originally the cook wanted to teach her to jump over the wall, but Jiang Cailing was really lacking in talent, and finally reluctantly made a lily lotus seed porridge that could be eaten, but it was difficult for the white lotus who had been helping to try it, and the iron stomach could not stand the ravages of black cooking, and the stomach was troubled all night.

The five-day period was coming soon, and Jiang Cailing saw that Bai He was really uncomfortable, so she didn't need her to follow and let her rest in peace.

The Prime Minister specially cleaned up the kitchen and waited for today's game.

Today is Jiang Cailing's second time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the last time was at the Thousand Lantern Festival, after the Thousand Lantern Festival, she carried a pot that killed He Xiangxiang, thinking of Su Qingcheng's sentence "Xiao Ling'er, I wish you a wonderful day after tomorrow" I always feel that something is going to happen today.

The last time I came, it was a little late, and I didn't see the scenery in the distance, today I looked at it from a distance, the strange stones are piled up, the rockery is majestic, the green cypress on both sides is dense and green, and the white jade is carved with the real bell Ming Ding food.

Gu Guozhong was wearing an official uniform, his eyebrows and eyes were magnificent, and he could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth, and Lan Shu, who had been carefully dressed, stood in the main hall to greet the guests.

"Ling'er has seen Master Gu and Mrs. Lan."

Lan Shu took Jiang Cailing's hand and said with concern, "I haven't seen Ling'er lose a lot of weight in a few days, I heard that you were wrongfully imprisoned a few days ago, I have a thousand-year-old ginseng, and I will take it when you go home to replenish your body." ”

Jiang Cailing's lips raised a shallow smile, and let the maid behind her take the prepared red coral and hand it to Lan Shu, the red coral under the sun was full of gratifying luster, and the texture was crystal clear, "Thank you Gu Xiang for saving Ling'er last time, the house doctor said that my body can't eat big tonic things, so this thousand-year-old ginseng is still left to your second elder, this small gift is not a tribute." ”

After taking over the red coral, the color and clarity of this coral are excellent, Lan Shu nodded and smiled, "Ling'er has a heart." ”

In stark contrast to Lan Shu's attitude, Gu Guozhong didn't like Jiang Cailing in his heart, and looked at Jiang Cailing with his upper and lower eyelids, only to see Jiang Cailing wearing a blue and white cloud brocade narrow-sleeved coat, and only wearing a decent gold jewelry on his head, and he couldn't help but feel that the other party was a little shabby.

Gu Guozhong always felt that her family background was not worthy of her son, and he wished that Jiang Cailing would lose the game today, so that his son could marry the princess of Nanzhao, how noble the princess of Nanzhao was, at least it could ensure that the Gu family would be prosperous all the way in the future.

"Prince and Princess Nanzhao have arrived!"

Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, Princess Hejia and Prince Helian, who were surrounded by everyone, walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Princess Hejia was still dressed in bright colors of Nanzhao costumes, red, blue, yellow and black brocade clothes embroidered with peacock glossy feather patterns, as if it was really a proud peacock, exuding a confident light.

Gu Guozhong immediately squinted and smiled, walked past Jiang Cailing, and strode in front of Princess Hejia, the more he looked at this daughter-in-law, the more satisfied he became.

After a while, Gu Jiming came back from the next court, followed by some civil and military officials who wanted to see the excitement, and everyone was dressed in the official mansion, adding some solemnity.

"You don't have to worry." Gu Jiming walked to Jiang Cailing's side at some point and said in a low voice.

Jiang Cailing knew what Gu Jiming meant, and a chuckle rose on her lips, "Thank you, my lord." ”

"This sachet is yours." As he spoke, he took out a sachet from his sleeve, which was embroidered with an orchid pattern, and the faint scent of orchids came.

Jiang Cailing's eyes tightened, this sachet was lost in the fight with human teeth, she never thought that it was actually scissors by Gu Jiming, and she was about to deny it when she opened her mouth, but she saw Gu Jiming's eyes looking at her skirt, and there was a sachet with a similar style hanging on her lap, the embroidery method can be seen to be from a person's hand, and it is impossible to deny it.

"This sachet looks familiar, I embroidered a lot of sachets a few days ago when I was idle, and then I gave them to the white lotus, I guess which one accidentally lost it happened to be seen by adults."

"This sachet was found by Shaoqing of Dali Temple on a thief ship with a tooth some time ago, so be careful when you go out in the future."

The second half of the sentence was obviously said to Jiang Cailing, Jiang Cailing shook her head slightly, Gu Jiming's mind was like dust, and he naturally affirmed that this sachet was hers, fortunately, he didn't know that he was using medicinal pills to subdue people's teeth, otherwise with his brain, I was afraid that one day he would guess that he was the Empress Dowager Jiang.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cailing pulled a happy smile on her lips, "Thank you, my lord, I'll tell the girls in my room when I go back." ”

At this time, there was a burst of praise from the crowd, it turned out that Hejia made Nanzhao's special golden silk rose glutinous rice cake in the post house, the rose petals pickled in honey were cut into shreds and melted into the glutinous rice, the glutinous white color was matched with a red embellishment, which was extraordinarily exquisite, and the lips and teeth were fragrant in one bite, soft and glutinous, and now they were tasted with everyone, which provoked a burst of praise.

He Jia walked to Gu Jiming's side generously, with a look of love in his big bright eyes, he took out a pastry wrapped in oil paper from the basket and handed it to Gu Jiming, "Gu Xiang, this is the favorite dessert of our Nanzhao people, you can taste it, if you like to eat it, I can make more and send it to Xiangfu in the future." ”

Gu Jiming stretched out his hand, the five fingers were as slender as white onions, the finger bones were distinct, and they were particularly good-looking, everyone thought that he would take it, but they didn't expect the fingers to stand up and shake them in the air, "I'm sorry, I don't eat sweets." ”

He Jia was not annoyed when he heard this, he seemed to have been prepared, took out a shortbread from the basket, and said with a smile, "It turns out that the rumor that Gu Xiang is not a sweet is true, fortunately, He Jia specially inquired about his preferences before, and made your country's famous fruit cake, which is made of many kinds of nuts, which is delicious and fragrant, I heard that this is Gu Xiang's favorite pastry." ”

After refusing to eat sweets once, people also made their favorite pastries, if Gu Jiming didn't accept it, it would seem a little stingy, and he couldn't help but lose his manliness, and it also damaged the image of Da Zhou, this Princess Hejia is still a little powerful.

But Jiang Cailing forgot that he was Gu Jiming, and no one could change his mind.

I saw Gu Jiming take the fruit cake, put it between his nose and sniffed it gently, and the good-looking lip flap raised a slight arc, "There should be a crisp with Nanzhao's specialty in it!" ”

"Gu Xiang knew when he sniffed it, it was really powerful. The crispy is unique to my Nanzhao, and it tastes and tastes better when added to the passion cake of Da Zhou, maybe this is the wonder. ”

Everyone heard the words, Princess Hejia is comparing the food, the crisp is like her, and the fruit cake is on behalf of Gu Jiming.

Gu Jiming put the improved Baiguo cake aside, and explained faintly in the puzzled eyes of everyone, "The crisp seeds are cold, and they are compatible with melon seeds, and if they are used in large quantities, they will cause symptoms of dizziness and vomiting." ”

"What?"

He Jiamei's eyes were round, originally thinking that adding Nanzhao's unique crisps to the fruit cake of Da Zhou would produce a better taste, just like a marriage between men and women from two countries, maybe it would be happier and more harmonious than that of the same race, but he didn't expect to neglect the problem of food restraint.

After the little guys arranged the kitchen, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to say something to Lan Shu, Lan Shu smiled and said, "Because the master who delivered vegetables and fruits has not yet arrived, the game cannot start for the time being, everyone will take a break, this year I have received a batch of good tea, and now I will serve it to you, if you are bored, you can walk around in the garden, and there are cosmos flowers in the garden that are now in full bloom." ”

Lan Shu said it beautifully, everyone did not show a displeased look, Jiang Cailing stood in the garden and looked at the cosmos flowers, and after a while, Qian Lan, who was wearing pink clothes, walked over, followed by a group of noble girls, warblers and swallows, and the fragrance of fat powder wafted in the air.

Qian Lanjiao walked up to Jiang Cailing with a smile, her red lips lightly opened, "Heh, this is not Gu Xiang's fiancée...... No, whether it's a fiancée or not depends on whether you're lucky today, but I don't think you have that luck. Princess Hejia's craftsmanship is really good, if you want to win this game, you can only make Princess Hejia disappear. ”

"Thank you Miss Qian for your encouragement, I hope you can get into the eyes of Princess Hejia, and when the time comes, you will be a concubine for Gu Jiming, and you will also meet your lifelong wish to marry Gu Xiang."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

At this time, a person wearing the costume of the Xiangfu family walked up to Jiang Cailing, took out a note and handed it to her, opened the note and wrote on it, "Come to pick up the star building, have something to discuss, Gu Ye." ”

What did Gu Jiming do with her?

Jiang Cailing's eyes flashed with suspicion, she raised her eyes and looked, and saw that Gu Jiming and He Jia were not there at the table, her brows were locked, and she looked at the font on the note, which was indeed Gu Jiming's words, and after hesitating for a while, she finally went to the Star Picking Tower.

The Star Picking Tower is a three-story platform on which you can see most of the scenery of Luoyang City.

The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars by hand. If it is night, standing on the top of the building and looking down, you can see the prosperous light strip of Luoyang City, reflecting the brilliant river; When you raise your eyes, you will have the illusion of being in a starry sky, as if on the lampstand of the Heavenly Palace, you can light up the stars with a wave of your hand, and you can pick the brightest stars with a wave of your hand.

Walking into the Star Picking Building, I found that there was no Gu Jiming's figure inside, Gu Jiming is a strict person, and he will never be late, just when he was puzzled, suddenly, he heard a "bang" sound behind him, and when he turned around, he saw He Jia lying in a pool of blood, a pair of eyes were wide in fright, looking straight in the direction of Jiang Cailing, the blood stains sprayed out fell into flowers, and the tender white fingers used their last strength to point at Jiang Cailing......
