Chapter I

Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zijing City.

In a courtyard of the second house, a young man in a green shirt is standing in front of the table and waving a pen to paint, and with the splash of pen and ink, a landscape map also appears on the rice paper.

This landscape picture is vertical and horizontal, clear and elegant, and sparse and high, quite the charm of the Northern Song Dynasty King Ximeng, if it is put in the purple capital to sell and buy, at least it is worth a hundred taels of silver.

The boy lifted the pen lightly, and a vivid, elf-like and eccentric Jack Mouse appeared in the landscape, and after the Jack Mouse, a Tom cat with teeth and claws was drawn.

Although he ruined a pair of danqing worth 100 taels, Li Fan didn't think so, but smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that I, who studied Chinese painting in my previous life, came to this world to make a living by selling paintings......

It's been three years since he crossed into this world.

At the beginning, Li Fan was also ready to make contributions in this world.

Who knows that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a woman who ignores the government and only cares about alchemy and seeking immortals, and has been on the throne for three years, hiding in the harem every day to cultivate immortals and alchemy.

It's impossible to make a difference.

Only painting barely survives like this.

Because his major in his previous life was Chinese painting, he also made a living in Zijing City, and as his fame spread, people came to ask for paintings every day, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking daily.

Li Fan is a contented man, and it is enough to have such a life.

"Painter Li, look at you haven't married yet, I happen to recognize a young lady from a family, and it can be regarded as a scholarly family, as long as you open your mouth, I will send Miss Liu to you!"

With Po He's words in mind, Li Fan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

He Po is Li Fan's neighbor, alone, with no children and no grandchildren.

Because usually, Li Fan will help anyone who can help.

He Po was a warm-hearted person, so she said that she wanted to be a matchmaker for him.

How did you answer yesterday? Oh, I said it half-jokingly, then you can bring it!

Then Po He left happily.

"He Po shouldn't take it seriously, right? Probably not, right? Li Fan shook his head, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"People in another world, you have to be kind to yourself, what to eat today...... Try the braised goose today, and I just bought all the spices. ”

Li Fan remembered the smell of braised goose in his previous life, and he couldn't help but snort.

……

Kangping Street in Zijing City.

The carriage ran over the rain on the ground and walked slowly down the street.

In the carriage, a feminine, dignified and graceful woman stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, frowned slightly, and said: "This year's floods have continued, and malaria has appeared in the south...... Qingfeng, what do you say should be done? ”

The woman was wearing a long white dress, and she was beautiful and graceful.

It is the empress Liu Quan of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Emperor Jing Kangdi had no male children and had two daughters, and after his death, he passed the throne to the eldest princess Liu Quan.

There was also a beautiful maid in green clothes in the carriage, who bowed down and said, "The maid is incompetent. ”

The empress shook her head lightly and lowered the curtain, she naturally knew that it was impossible for Qingfeng to answer this question.

Summer hurts the heat, and autumn will be sick and malaria. Malaria kills many people every time, and malaria is particularly severe this year.

The situation in Da Zhou has been getting worse and worse in recent years.

"The princes of the Quartet all have the intention of rebellion, coupled with the chaos of demons, the Great Zhou Kingdom is in decline...... The building will fall, how can a tree support it? ”

The empress frowned, her eyes full of worry.

Qingfeng comforted: "Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been founded for more than 600 years, and after many external troubles, this time it will definitely be able to survive safely!" ”

"Huh." Liu Quan just chuckled.

At this moment, the carriage passed by the Li Mansion, and a strong fragrance permeated the carriage and came to the nose.

"What a fragrant smell! What's that smell? Liu Quan said suddenly.

Qingfeng said: "Your Majesty, it seems to be the taste of some kind of food!" ”

Liu Quan said: "Food...... Yes, what kind of food does this taste like, strange, how can it smell so good? Stop the car! ”

The empress's face was full of curiosity, and when she looked at the taste, she saw a second-entry mansion with the word Li Mansion hanging in front of the courtyard.

"This fragrance seems to come from inside, it's so fragrant." I didn't feel it in the car, but when Liu Quan got out of the car, she could feel this rich fragrance, as if she was going to wrap her tightly.

This couldn't help but make her wonder what kind of food was coming from.

"Qingfeng, follow me in and have a look!"

"Your Majesty, but ......"

"Today I said that I wanted to come out to relax, Qingfeng, don't disobey me." Liu Quan glanced at Qingfeng and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"When you go outside, don't call me Your Majesty, call me Miss Liu!"

"Yes, Your Majesty...... Miss Liu. ”

The door of the Li Mansion was open, and a master and a servant walked into the Li Mansion without being hindered.

As soon as she walked in, Liu Quan found that the fragrance became even stronger, the fragrance was sweet, stimulating her taste buds, and she couldn't help but relish.

Liu Quan was shocked in her heart, you must know that since she practiced, she didn't have such a desire for food, even if it was a delicious meal made by the royal kitchen, she would not be moved.

But at this time, just smelling this fragrance, the appetite rises.

"Let's go, let's go inside."

Liu Quan wanted to know even more about what food this fragrance came from.

The two continued to move forward, through the corridor, to the backyard, and saw a large cauldron in the backyard, in which something was boiling, and the aroma came to the nose for a while.

In front of the cauldron, a young man in a green shirt was picking up firewood by himself, completely ignoring the two people in the yard.

Liu Quan glanced at it, and his heart moved slightly, but he was a handsome and beautiful young man, what was he cooking?

Qingfeng took two steps forward, and immediately saw that what was cooking in the pot was a big goose that had been defeaturated.

At this time, the brine is boiling, and there are many spices floating in it.

A rich fragrance that seems to wrap itself.

"It smells so good!" Qingfeng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Who are the two?"

Li Fan, who heard the voice, raised his head and looked at the two beauties standing in the courtyard with some blankness.

I'll go, such a pretty woman......

How did you come to my house?

Liu Quan looked at Li Fan and secretly praised in his heart.

Qingfeng took a step forward: "This is Miss Liu, my name is Qingfeng, what are you cooking?" ”

"Miss Liu? It turned out to be you! Are you really here? Li Fan suddenly realized, good guy, he was joking when he was Po He, but he didn't expect that he really sent Miss Liu over!

Old Xu Cheng doesn't deceive me!

Liu Quan: ???

I'm coming?

Did this person know in advance that I was coming?

Liu Quan's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of vigilance.

As the king of a country, when she went out this time, no one knew her whereabouts except for her two maids.

How the hell did the person in front of him know?

"Miss Liu, in Xia Li Fan, is twenty-three years old, and makes a living by painting. The house is so big, the carriage hasn't been bought yet. If you don't dislike it, you can get married at any time. Li Fan said sincerely.

At first, he refused the people introduced by He Po.

Now he just wants to say that it smells so good!

Qingfeng: ???

Liu Quan: ???

What?

Get married???
