General Lin's Mansion.

On an November morning, a faint layer of frost froze on the ground.

Lin Yi shrunk in the quilt and was too lazy to get up, starting today, he was an unemployed vagrant, and he could sleep until three o'clock in the morning.

So many things have happened these days, why did life become so ups and downs when traveling to ancient times?

It's not the life she wants, it's the life she brought for herself.

Tired.

Thinking of the ginseng and tiger bone soup brought by Qin Shuihan last night, he suddenly felt that his stomach was turning upside down, and the scene inserted into Shen Dingjue's chest always appeared in his mind.

Lin Yi turned over and sighed softly, time is the best antidote, she believes that in a few days, everything will be fine.

"Miss, the master is here, do you want to get up and wash?"

Biyue's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Yi pulled the corners of her mouth and immediately responded.

She realized what it means to not see him for a day, and she only met yesterday, but she was still so happy to hear him coming.

Lin Yi put on his dirty clothes, and suddenly wondered why Qin Shuihan was so free recently?

"Miss, do you need to dress up?"

Biyue knew that Lin Yi was lazy and didn't like to dress up, but today was different.

Just as Lin Yi wanted to ask why, Steward Liu said loudly at the door: "Second Miss, King Han and Bai Shangshu are here." What a joy! I carried a lot of dowry gifts. Please also ask the second lady to hurry up to the hall. The old lady was waiting there. ”

I see.

Lin Yi glanced at Biyue in surprise.

"Well, the yellow dress!"

Lin Yi shyly pointed to a yellow gauze skirt, which was prepared for herself by Qin Shuihan during the Hundred Flowers Festival. Although it is a little thin, it can be completely carried by wearing a dirty clothes with a base!

Now that I think about it, I knew that there would be today, and the previous clothes and hair accessories would be inappropriate.

Before he reached the main hall, Lin Yi saw that there were a lot of big boxes in the courtyard, and there were more than a dozen servants standing next to them.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Ruzhi's enthusiasm came to his face.

"Yi'er, hurry up and see King Han and Bai Shangshu."

Lin Yi glanced at her coldly, everyone is a clear-eyed person, what is the pain of this smiling and unsmiling expression.

But fortunately, Lin Xuan'er didn't come, so it's been almost three months, and if she doesn't get married, her stomach won't be able to hide.

Lin Yi glanced at Lin Weifu who was smiling at his shoulders again, and waited for himself to recover, and then calculated Xiao Su's account with him.

She glanced at the man beside Qin Shuihan again, it turned out that Bai Gongzi was actually the Shangshu of the current dynasty, how could they be some powerful characters.

Lin Yi's gaze fell steadily on Qin Shuihan, today, he was wearing a navy blue gown, although it was not as formal as the court clothes, but the gold thread auspicious cloud embroidery on his chest all revealed his nobility and elegance.

is worthy of being his own male god, and he has an extraordinary bearing when he lifts a teacup.

She hurried over and stood beside him, her face like a peach blossom and her eyes shining.

Qin Shuihan couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, and couldn't help but hold her little hand.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if no one was around.

This scene fell into Shen Ru's eyes, and even more anger rushed to his heart. Later, I must talk to Lin Weifu about when King Huan can marry their daughter!

"General Lin, this king will not stay, and on the thirteenth of next month, he will come to the door to marry."

Qin Shuihan and Lin Weifu didn't have anything to say hello, it was nothing more than to save face for Lin Yi, the dowry was delivered, he got up and pulled Lin Yi to prepare to leave, and he didn't forget to give Bai Qiran a look, and the rest was left to him.

Bai Qiran smiled helplessly, who made himself a matchmaker.

This was the second time he had seen Lin Yi, and he thought back to the time when he met in the medical hall, and the way he was sharp and-for-tat with the King of Han was very interesting.

At that time, King Han was still full of suspicion about her, but he didn't expect that after a few months, he would take great pains to marry her as a concubine.

Although he had suspected that it was Qin Shuihan's drunken words, he didn't smell a trace of wine when he approached his face, and was slapped by Qin Shuihan.

That palm hurts.

Bai Qiran curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the two, and sure enough, they were talented and beautiful, and they were very compatible.

After guessing when the iron tree bloomed for so many years, it turned out that fate was unstoppable!

Lin Yi said hello to Lin Weifu and Shen Ruzhi without being salty, and then followed Qin Shuihan out, and as soon as she walked out of the door, she immediately grabbed him.

"King Han, how many taels of silver do you want for these dowries? The Lin family can't prepare any dowry for me, you are at a loss! ”

Seeing her unwilling look, Qin Shuihan couldn't help but pinch her little face.

"It's just 100,000 taels of gold, marrying you, such a little money is nothing."

Lin Yi couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows even tighter, what do you mean by no more than 100,000 taels! It's really a local tyrant, but you can't give flowers to others in vain! She had to find a way to get them to give them more dowry, it was really not worth it!

Seeing that she was silent, Qin Shuihan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Yi gave him a blank look.

"Do you know that joy and sorrow? I'm not willing to give so many dowries to the Lin family, I have to find a way to make them spit it out. ”

Hearing this, Qin Shuihan couldn't help laughing, and he patted her head again.

"You, don't think about anything, eat yourself fat, and see how thin you have become."

He pointed to the servants in the courtyard.

"These are the people in my house, from now on to serve you, in a few days there will be a grandmother in the palace to teach you etiquette, on the day of the wedding, don't be ashamed."

Lin Yi's head was bored, can he, a modern person, learn such cumbersome etiquette as the ancients?

"What if I don't study well..."

"That's also the princess of this king."

Qin Shuihan doted on her and took her into his arms.

In the living room, Bai Qiran took the trouble to state the marriage process.

Lin Weifu smiled from ear to ear, he didn't expect his second daughter to marry King Han or the concubine, so would his military talisman be stable? After that, he went in one ear and one ear out, just concentrating on his military power.

After Bai Qiran said goodbye, Lin Weifu happily prepared to rush to the study, but who knew that Shen Ruzhi trotted a few steps in front of him.

"Weifu, Xuan'er's marriage, have you taken it to heart? Have you asked the emperor for a decree? ”

Lin Weifu frowned, he was a military general, he was not a civil servant, except for the Great Dynasty, it was impossible for him to enter and leave the palace freely. What's more, now that he is a wasted person, and the remaining two talismans have not been properly disposed of, where does he have the courage to ask the Holy Lord for instructions.

He hoped that Shen Ding would be able to return to Beijing successfully, and then try to deduct a talisman at that time.

But is there anything Yi'er can do to help?

It's a pity that we won't be able to get married until next month, and now is not the best time.

Seeing that Lin Weifu was silent, Shen Ru's anger did not come out.

"Xuan'er's stomach is going to be seen, you still don't want to think about it!"

Listening to Shen Ruzhi's sharp tone, Lin Weifu felt a headache, and he shouted: "It's not a good daughter you taught!" Look at Yi'er, how can you get the favor of the Cold King! ”

Yi'er!? And Xiao Su's concubine!

Shen Ruzhi suddenly showed a weird smile.

"You mean Xiao Su teaches well?"

Lin Weifu choked for a while, looking at her smiling and smiling, he suddenly felt a sense of weakness, his expression became extremely unnatural, and he remembered the scene back then.

Shen Ruzhi snorted weirdly and continued: "Xiao Su taught well, but unfortunately died young. So far, it's useless to talk about this, Xuan'er is also your daughter, Yi'er has the Han King's marriage, you have to think about our Xuan'er! ”

Lin Weifu nodded helplessly, after all, it was his daughter, he sighed, and could only pull down his old face to visit King Huan.

As soon as Qin Shuihan left, another guest came to the Lin Mansion.

Looking at Ye Ziming, who was dressed in a green robe, followed Steward Liu to his Heart Grass Pavilion, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, this color was really amazing, and his body was full of chic and dignified.

"Why are you here?"

"Do you still want Miss Lin Er's scalpel? I've been to the Wangu Medical Hall a few times, but I haven't seen you. Today, I can only send it to the Lin Mansion in person. ”

Ye Ziming smiled slightly, I haven't seen her for a long time, she is still so beautiful and moving, but her face is very pale, and she has lost a lot of weight, I don't know what happened.

However, when he greeted Lin Weifu just now, he had already noticed the big box in the courtyard, and at a glance he knew that it was a dowry, such a huge momentum, it seemed that Qin Shuihan really didn't have a lot of flowers.

He looked at Lin Yi faintly, this woman was going to marry someone else eventually, and he couldn't help but feel very lonely in his heart.

Lin Yi laughed a little embarrassedly.

"Recently... A lot has happened..."

She didn't want to mention those unhappy things, tried to cheer up, and said with a smile: "It's rare for Lord Ye to come once, can you enjoy your face and stay for dinner?" I'll do it for you. ”

Can she cook? Ye Ziming glanced at Lin Yi suspiciously, he was free today, not to mention that ordinary young ladies don't know how to cook, but he really couldn't imagine Lin Yi cooking, it seemed that she was only suitable for practicing medicine and saving people with a silver needle.

"What are you treating me to eat?"

He asked curiously. But even if it was poison, he wanted to taste the food she had made with her own hands.

"Hot pot, do you have any food to avoid?"

Lin Yi really doesn't know how to cook, the simplest thing is hot pot, throw some meat dishes, cook your own shabu-shabu.

"Hot pot? What is it? ”

“……”

Lin Yi scratched his head and said, "Wait"! Then she took some local materials, took some stones, piled them up into a small table, and asked the cook to carry a pot and light the firewood, completely ignoring the burning ashes.

Biyue on the side was stunned and hurriedly helped her fan the fire.

The princess is so happy that she doesn't know what to play!

Then Lin Yi poured half a pot of water into the pot.

When the water boiled, she threw a cleaned chicken, then removed the foam and put some astragalus jujubes. He also ordered his servants to wash a lot of vegetables. After boiling for half an hour, the aroma of chicken soup filled the entire courtyard.

"Biyue, this pot is almost over, let's go wash it together, there are ashes on our faces and hands!"

Without waiting for Biyue to react, Lin Yi immediately pulled her to wash her hands and wipe her face.

When I walked to the hot pot again, I realized that the aroma of this chicken soup was really tempting.

And Ye Ziming really succeeded in being attracted by this thing called hot pot, although when he was in the barren mountains and mountains, he would occasionally roast some game, but why didn't he think about making a pot to cook some soup.

"Biyue, call the plough Shang to eat together, there are still a lot of people eating hot pot."

At this time, autumn is in full swing, sitting next to the hot pot, steaming, just to dispel the chill of early winter.

Biyue was dumbfounded, it turns out that this thing still has a name, called "hot pot"?

But how could the master dine with his subordinates, she instinctively pushed back: "No, no, miss, we are waiting on the side." ”

Lin Yi glanced at Ye Ziming with pleading eyes.

"Master Ye, there is also a male guard, can you help me find out that guy?" They never saw me as their master. ”

Ye Ziming shrugged his shoulders, he really had never seen such a young lady who did not distinguish between master and servant. But he had already sensed that someone was hiding there motionless by the courtyard wall. At first, he was also vigilant, but after a long time, he didn't see any movement from that person, but now he thinks that it is the male guard in Lin Yi's mouth! He got up and flashed, went straight to the foot of the courtyard, subdued the ploughman, and brought him to Lin Yi.

Biyue frowned, this Ye Gongzi is good at kung fu.

"But this guard?"

Ye Ziming glanced at him again, light skills are good, but martial arts are not good.

"The people of the Cold King?"

Lin Yi grinned, did not hide it, and nodded in acknowledgement.

The plough was still caught by Ye Ziming and couldn't move, although his martial arts were not strong, but as a hidden guard, his light skills were absolutely first-class, just now he felt Ye Ziming rushing towards him, and he was caught by him before he had time to react.

This Ye Ziming's kung fu is really unfathomable!

Lin Yi expected that Ye Ziming's kung fu was not bad, but he didn't expect him to shoot so quickly, how to say that Li Shang was also Qin Shuihan's guard, but he didn't expect to be caught by him so easily. But she really wants to teach Li Shang a lesson, and the dragon always sees the head and the tail, and his face is not familiar.

"Li Shang, do you want to sit here obediently and eat with us, or let this master of Ye Lou, who is highly skilled in martial arts, tie you to a tree and eat with us?"

“… Thank you for your hospitality..."

"Those who know the times are handsome."

Lin Yi was satisfied with the chicken pieces in the pot and turned over the chicken pieces in the pot, and looked at Biyue defiantly.

"Do you want to compete with Lord Ye, or come over for dinner obediently?"

“……”

Biyue didn't say a word, came to the hot pot and sat down.

Ye Ziming was speechless, this Lin Yi would take advantage of people, but he felt that Biyue's martial arts were more powerful than Lishang, although she was not his opponent, but if she really started, he couldn't make a move on a woman.

Lin Yimei divided the dishes and chopsticks for them. I threw some vegetables into the pot while it was open and taught them how to make the pot.

None of them had ever eaten hot pot, and it turned out that throwing vegetables in and boiling them would be so delicious with the umami of chicken broth.

At first, Biyue and Lishang were still a little restrained, but they were poured some wine by Lin Yi, and they all let go and eat.

The four of them were chatting around the hot pot, so it was not lively.

Lin Yi hasn't had such a warm feeling for a long time, she has eaten a lot of vegetables, although she is still a little sick to her stomach when she sees meat dishes, but watching others eat so happily, her soul seems to have been redeemed.

Through the firelight, watching Ye Ziming sweating profusely, Lin Yi quipped: "Master Ye, are you still satisfied with this hot pot?" ”

Ye Ziming ate "hot pot" for the first time, and felt that this thing was really magical, and couldn't help but praise it.

"Miss Lin Er, how did you come up with this approach?"

This was originally the great crystallization of Chinese civilization, but she didn't know when it began.

Suddenly, Lin Yi's eyes rolled and he said excitedly: "Master Ye, I have a proposal." ”

Ye Ziming saw that her eyes were shining, like two little stars, this look was really cute, he couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said interestingly: "Miss Lin Er, I'm listening." ”

"Soon it will be a cold winter, and you say that if we create a pot specially used to eat hot pot, will it be a big sale?"

Ye Ziming glanced at the cauldron in front of him, it was very heavy, it was difficult for a woman to lift it, and it was indeed a bit laborious to eat such a hot pot.

He nodded thoughtfully.

"That's a good idea..."

"I'll draw you a drawing, there are still many things to pay attention to in the design of this pot, such as adding a handle to this pot, it will definitely be hot when you lift this pot with your bare hands, and the bottom should be thicker, after all, it is the part that is heated..."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, isn't this a great opportunity to make money on his own? Then we have to talk about profit sharing first, and the key places must be kept for the time being.

"I want to share, can the owner of the Ye Mansion give me a percentage of the profit?"

She raised her eyebrows, and said it with confidence.

Ye Ziming was just fascinated by what she said, and then laughed, so confident before he could implement it.

"I, Ye Ziming, am such a stingy person, this was Miss Lin's idea, I'll give you thirty percent of the profit!"

Lin Yi opened his mouth wide, three percent! She's going to work on the drawings tonight!

"I'll give you the drawings tomorrow!"
