Chapter 327 – A Man’s “Sincerity”
Huo Mingyu nods slightly, “I certainly believe in someone who can make my third brother fall in love.”
Just as the maid brings in refreshments, Zhao Su doesn’t say any more and helps set them out, then points them out one by one, “These are the ones I made, try them if you like them.”
There are two pastries, two kinds of candied fruit, and salt-baked shredded chicken and duck meat.
Huo Mingyu first looks at each carefully, and then picks a small plate of shredded chicken that is torn into inches long, and in a ladylike manner, shallowly picks one or two filaments and sends them into her mouth.
As soon as this seemingly ordinary shredded chicken rolled around her tongue, she immediately raised her eyes in surprise.
“Is it okay?”
Zhao Su asks.
Huo Mingyu slowly chews and swallows until she swallows it before saying, “Tender as cream, with a thousand flavors, it’s not even like poultry meat.”
Zhao Su laughed: “is the usual chicken, chicken wire is steamed with star anise spices and then torn, and then cherries, chopped apples and so on modulated into a marinade soaked and become.”
Huo Mingyu was speechless after hearing this. Following Huo Xiu in Guangxi, she has not been in charge of the kitchen, and knows that what Zhao Su says are not ordinary ingredients, but she is able to turn the rotten into the magical.
Zhao Su sees her froze, so she says, “This chicken flavor is a bit on the sweet side, if you’re not used to it, try these two pastries.”
Huo Mingyu doesn’t say anything, picking up a yellow and cool rice cake and tasting it, letting the soft and cool flavor sweep through her mouth before saying, “How could I not be used to it? I would like to ask you for a recipe.”
If she was still a bit skeptical when the Emperor and Empress Dowager Lu praised Zhao Su’s craftsmanship in front of her, then after tasting her craftsmanship in person, she was already completely convinced.
It couldn’t be said that these were unparalleled delicacies, but it just tasted special and blended just right, making it so impressive that it felt like it was instantly etched into one’s bones.
“That’s easy.” Zhao Su smiled and said, “I’ll write it up later and have someone send it to you.” Adding, “Xiao Lan go fetch a few small porcelain jars, turn around and fill a little bit of each of these chicken and duck meat and send it to the Huo mansion.”
Xiaolan answers from the side, while glancing at her. Normally, Zhao Su is just the right amount of polite no matter who she’s dealing with, but today, facing this Yanping County Lord, isn’t she being a bit too polite? Doesn’t she know that this person opposite her is the “love rival” whose popularity in the city is even higher than hers? Why is she not taking any precautions at all? Isn’t she afraid that outsiders will see her as flattering Yanping?
Zhao Su ignored her gaze.
She was too curious about the Huo siblings!
Why did she have a strange reaction to the two of them?
And where did this sense of familiarity come from?
Obviously, her entry into this book world was an accident, and these inexplicable connections could not have been created, but she had come here, and she had encountered “familiar” people one after another – seriously, when she first saw the emperor, she also had a vague familiar feeling, just not as familiar as when she saw the Huo siblings, but not as familiar as when she saw the Huo siblings. When she saw the emperor, she also had a vague feeling of familiarity, but it wasn’t as strong as when she saw the Huo siblings, so she thought that it was brought on by the original owner’s body, so she ignored it. But if that was the case, why did the original owner’s body only react to these specific people?
…… She wanted to figure it out.
Right now, the only way to get close to the Huo siblings was to feel a little bit of clues. And again, she could only open a breakthrough from Huo Mingyu.
With her gesture of goodwill, Huo Mingyu was also much more casual. Although she has never been too proactive in getting close to people, this one in front of her is different, as the Empress Dowager holds her in such high regard, she should be closer to her, or else she wouldn’t fail to honor the Empress Dowager’s love and care?
She said, “Next time Miss Cheng comes to get the scriptures, you don’t have to come with her, our family is not as lively as your family, but there is a cook brought back from Guangxi, maybe you will be interested.”
Wasn’t this just what Zhao Su wanted?
She snorted obediently, “It seems my gluttony was exposed at once! It’s also good that Miss Cheng is afraid that she will also be a bit restrained, since this matter was led by me, I will participate to the end.”
Just after saying this, Xiaolan said, “Great Grandma is back.”
Yu’s smilingly walks over from the other end of the corridor: “Just now, I fetched a few fishing rods from your elder brother’s side, and the pavilion is also set up, so if you want to go fishing or play chess, or recite poems, it’s all better than sitting here, so hurry up and go.”
Zhao Su looks to Huo Mingyu.
Huo Mingyu has heard of her former reputation, and although she has a different evaluation, she still guesses that she is not very proficient in reciting poetry, so she gets up and says: “Just now I came over, and I see that the lotus flowers have not yet finished, so it’s good to go fishing.”
“Very good. Please!”
……
The emperor behind the imperial case is somewhat absent-minded today. He was even a little bit displeased with the way he looked at everything. Wufu was penalized for standing outside the door for half an hour because he stretched his right hand when he put the tea.
Four Happiness sniffed over. After standing for a while, he couldn’t help but walk up, “Would the emperor like some refreshments?”
The emperor looked at the hand folding, as if he did not hear the same did not say anything.
Si Xi pondered for a moment, said: “Last month, the Ministry of Rites on the additional enkei folders, the city students heard this matter, are talking about it. I heard that the various guild halls are buzzing with activity.”
The emperor raised his eyes.
Four Happiness added: “There is a Huzhou Guild Hall near the Marquis of Qingyun’s residence.”
The emperor paused for half a moment, stretching his body to collect the folders.
“The imperial examinations are a first-class event for the imperial court, I can’t help but pay attention to it.”
He glances below, “Have Han Jun prepare and leave the palace in two quarters of an hour.”
“Yes.”
Four Happiness bowed and walked out of the threshold, and under the corridor, Wufu followed Zhao Su’s usual example and gave him two big thumbs up.
……
Huzhou Guild Hall is really not far from the Marquis of Qingyun Mansion, and the emperor just took a look at it from the carriage and drove past.
Marquis of Qingyun opposite the herbal tea stall, Aunt Ning cynically looked at the BMW carriage one by one into the marquis, where the corners of the mouth dripping tea stains? It was clearly the saliva of jealousy.
Since she left the Marquis, the circle of power and nobility has nothing to do with her, and after the last time in the paper kite store and Zhao Su a conflict, Ning jade later on her attitude also fell to pieces, this brat as if he did not want her as a mother, do things also do not ask for her opinion, Mrs. Luo now also ignore her, she is now like a ghost to see the sadness of the same – ah! Before, the three words “Ghostly Sorrow” were still Zhao Su’s dead girl ah!
Hate her store opened in this neighborhood, day after day to see the once lived in the high mansion farther and farther away from her, but she can not do anything about it!
All of this is caused by Zhao Su’s dead girl!
The Huo siblings are back, I really hope that Yanping County Lord can make some big waves between the Emperor and that dead girl, ruin this marriage for her, let her also taste the taste of the duck that flew away!
“Are you still drinking, ma’am? Do not drink the trouble to make a place, this several guests waiting for a seat it!”
Xiao Er urged from the side.
Auntie Ning slapped some money on the table and got up to leave.
To the front of the club, suddenly a person rushed to the front, so that she can no longer lift the step to ……
