The Imperial Concubine Chef

After the two of them left the room, Shangguan Lin quickly opened the fire lacquer and took out the book inside. "After flipping a few pages, he stood up in shock." Xiao Tong! "

Xiao Tong didn't even have time to go and get the Red Sugar Cake. Hearing Fifth Master call him, he hurriedly responded outside the door: "This servant is here."

"Get Zhang Ziyi to bring Xinyu over! He had to be more secretive! "Be quick!" Shangguan Lin could not wait to see Su Xinyu now. He wanted to ask where this thing had come from. Ever since he was a child, he had studied martial arts and was also familiar with the art of war. He was especially concerned about the matters regarding these weapons. There are also methods of making these weapons and how to use them. Just from the first two pages of the book, he knew that the forging of weapons and metals was not nonsense.

It was also no wonder that Su Xinyu had Zhang Ziyi find someone to personally hand the book to him. They would rather burn it than let anyone else see it. This thing has a lot to do with it. In other words, a blacksmith could become a sword crafting master and become famous overnight to earn a mountain of gold and silver. In other words, if the Lou Clan's men managed to get their hands on it, they could use the contents of the book to forge an even more powerful weapon.

Right now, the war in the eastern part of the Wenjiang River was already a battle between the two sides. Back then, the Lou Clan wanted to let the Emperor give them sufficient military power so that they could control the imperial court in the future. At the beginning, they had dragged out the fighting, but in the end, they had colluded with the rebel army in private, creating the illusion that they would not be able to win the war but instead gain merits for several times. Fortunately, there were still sages in the imperial court, and the Fourth Prince was himself the legitimate son of the Yuan, so there were a lot of people following behind him. It was true that the Emperor was besieged with illness and had been bewitched by the Lou Clan for many years, but he was also an extremely intelligent person when he was young. Previously, Shangguan Lin had given Fourth Brother a box of antidote pills. After that, he spent a great amount of effort to finally give the antidote to the Emperor, letting the Emperor know about the Lou Clan's wild ambitions. However, it was not easy to reverse the current situation. In order to prevent the Lou Clan and the Third Prince from pressing on, the Emperor had no choice but to place his hopes on his fourth son.

The days of the imperial harem had all been very difficult. Shangguan Lin, the person who was far away from the capital was indeed much better. However, he had to collect food and military pay for his army by hiding them from the Lou Family. These things were not that simple. The grocery store and the Cloud Arena Workshop were only supposed to show it to outsiders. In fact, if he wanted to make money quickly, he had to do it in a way that he wouldn't see anyone. However, in order to pacify the country, allow the Fourth Brother to succeed the throne and prevent the Great Yan Mountain from changing its surname to Lou, he had no choice but to do these things against his will.

This book can't change the situation in the court. However, if they could find the most suitable weapon, they could secretly manufacture a batch and transport it to the front of the formation. Then their chances of winning would be even higher. It was originally just a war of attrition. When the time was ripe, they would attack by surprise. The faster the war was resolved, the less harm the citizens would suffer.

After walking around the room twice, Shangguan Lin sat down again. He did not continue to read the letter, nor did he continue to read the weapon manual. Instead, he continued to eat these snacks. He knew he needed some time to calm down. Therefore, eating something was an extremely good choice. More importantly, this was something that Su Xinyu had made for herself. He knew that girl was extremely smart. Since Zhang Ziyi said he wanted to give it away, she would definitely guess that it was for his.

At this time, Xiao Tong reported from the outside, "Fifth Master, Manager Zhang has passed. I believe that Lady Xinyu will arrive soon. Would you like me to prepare a table of good wine and dishes? "

"Go. He went to the Cloudfall Workshop and asked for a table to wait for the banquet so that they could deliver it later. Oh right, you should go to the grocery store to get some fresh fruits, Xinyu definitely likes to eat them. Also, go tell Tian Liyong to come back in the afternoon so they can meet again. "

Xiao Tong replied with a smile. However, he was extremely moved in his heart. His master had really fallen for the Lady Xinyu. Otherwise, he would not be so considerate to meet anyone. He didn't know if he regretted agreeing to send him away.

Su Xinyu did not expect that when she just reached home and did not sit properly, Zhang Ziyi would come again. Said there was something he forgot to bring. However, Su Xinyu really wanted her to see how she would transport the things back, so Su Xinyu told her mother and followed him out.

"But he soon realized that something was wrong." Uncle Zhang, this is not the way back to the grocery store. You still have something to say. There's no need to hide it between us. " She didn't think that Zhang Ziyi would harm his. Unless he betrayed Wen Ling. Moreover, he didn't have any motive to harm his.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Ziyi finally said softly. Someone wants to see you. You should know who it is. "

Su Xinyu immediately reacted. Her heart thumped wildly. After she took a deep breath, she asked, "When did he arrive?"

Zhang Ziyi was a little embarrassed. Actually, they arrived seven days ago. But I don't know if you'd like to see him, since I'm busy. That's why I didn't dare to disturb you. "

"Su Xinyu felt a little awkward, but in the end, she was still very happy. He really thought too much. Then why did you want to see me again today? "

Zhang Ziyi shrugged, "I'm not sure about that. Ask him later. "

When he arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard, Xiao Tong was already there waiting. Seeing Su Xinyu, he called out to him as if nothing had happened, "Young Master Su!"

"Su Xinyu was amused by Xiao Tong's expression as he winked at him. I thought it was scary to hear you call it that. "

Xiao Tong laughed loudly: "Isn't that like the common people when in Rome. Come on in. Just now, my Fifth Master said that he wanted Tian Liyong to come from the camp in the afternoon to meet you and your mother. "

Hearing that the Big Brother Yong also came. "Su Xinyu, that awkwardness just now disappeared. That's very kind of you. My mother has always been very worried about Grandfather Tian, Seventh Grandmother and the others. Since Big Brother Yong is here, I can let her feel a bit more at ease. "

The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the entrance of the study. As it was in the middle of winter, the doors and windows were closed. Su Xinyu couldn't see inside, and in her heart, she was somewhat nervous, unwilling to admit it. Just as Xiao Tong wanted to knock on the door to report to him, the door opened. Seeing Su Xinyu dressed like a boy, Shangguan Lin was first stunned, but then he started to feel a kind of happiness that was hard to explain in his heart. Xinyu, quickly sit in the house. Xiao Tong, make some tea. "

Seeing Shangguan Lin, only happiness remained in Su Xinyu's heart. After being admitted into the room, hot air rushed into her face, causing her to instantly feel a burning sensation on her face. Although she felt that in this one year, Shangguan Lin had grown a lot taller, and a lot more handsome. However, she firmly refused to admit that he was blushing because the other party was too handsome.

After letting Su Xinyu sit down, Shangguan Lin also felt that he was a little reserved. Xinyu, long time no see. How are you doing? "

Seeing that the other party seemed to be even more nervous than, Su Xinyu calmed down. She chuckled as she looked at Shangguan Lin. Don't you often get news of me? Besides, since you've seen me now, you're in good shape. Didn't you notice that I'm much taller than before? "

Shangguan Lin nodded: "Mn. It was too high. It was stronger than before. Previously, I only knew that you were dressed like a man, but I didn't expect you to be so good-looking. "

Su Xinyu's face warmed up even more. How could such a simple dressing be considered beautiful? However, you are the one who is truly much taller and much stronger than before. "She should have been out for a long time now, right?"

Shangguan Lin sighed: "That's right. I just came back from the battlefield over at the Wenjiang River. I was there all autumn. "

Su Xinyu's expression immediately became serious. How's it going over there? "

Shangguan Lin sighed: "Isn't it all just the common people who are suffering? But this time. I brought Tian Liyong over as well. He had accomplished a great deed in killing the enemy before the battle, and was also highly valued by General Wang, so he was now Chief Qian. I brought him here this time to deal with the matter of the provisions. Although the military Chief Qian is not as big as the office of the Lieutenant, he is already at least a seventh rank. "

Su Xinyu did not understand the rank and rank of the officials in the dynasty, but as long as it was an official, it was good. Although she was not as old as the county magistrate from the seventh rank, Tian Liyong was still young and had met with trouble. Even though it was dangerous in the army, he had a better chance of promotion. That really would have to be congratulated. I never thought that he didn't like studying in the past and didn't even get the chance to study in the Imperial Examinations, but was able to enter society from martial arts. step grandfather must be very happy. "

"That's true. Before I came out, I personally went to see old mister Tian. When he told me to tell you that he would leave his Two-boundary Village to find you one day, he said nothing. I want you to pay attention to your safety. You also saw the letter he told Xu Sihai to bring back earlier. I wonder if there were any unforeseen events over there. "

"That's not true. step grandfather talked about the trivial matters of the family. He just didn't tell me that Big Brother Yong had already left home for the front lines. You don't think he'd talk to me about such things. On the other hand, you didn't even tell me how did you get over it? "

Shangguan Lin heard a hint of complaint from these words. "Not only is he not angry, he's actually faintly happy." It's not that I don't want to see you. But you've been busy. I thought that I had to wait until the fifteenth of the first month to leave, so I didn't rush to disturb you. However, I told Xiao Tong to find someone to buy your pastries everyday. It's really delicious. "

Su Xinyu could not help but ask with a smile, "Then, have you tasted the dessert that you were eating today? When I plan to open a big restaurant in the future, they will be treated as a signboard snack. "

Shangguan Lin nodded: "Delicious. Every single one of them was extremely memorable. Especially the green tea pastry. The tea was fragrant with a hint of bitterness in its sweetness. The pastry was rich in taste, not oily at all. Furthermore, it's soft and just like mouth. As a person who doesn't like to eat sweet food, even if I ate one piece, I would still want to eat more. "

"You really know how to choose. The cake was not big, but it used a lot of milk and eggs. Because it's for you to eat, I use your favorite tea. Although the quality is only mediocre, it still cost me quite a bit of silver. "

Hearing Su Xinyu's words, Shangguan Lin hurriedly stood up. "Thank you, Miss. I am honored. "

"Pfft!" Su Xinyu immediately laughed out at that moment. You better not make these scenes. "It's quite awkward."
