The Three-Life Stone

The happiest thing for Jiang Chen was that he helped a chef in trouble when he was in the palace.

When I was having dinner at the inn, I didn't expect to see a play at the same time. Several chefs worked together to accuse another chef. I thought that this chef had done something wrong and was criticized by everyone, but after listening to a few words, I found that it was just some tricks that were not presentable. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it, but no one was willing to step forward to do such a thankless task. This chef did not say a word and was still unyielding, unwilling to defend himself.

At this time, I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I helped him and told him the whole story. This man who was not good at socializing but had excellent cooking skills was favored by the boss but was envied and rejected by everyone else. After I stepped forward to resolve the matter, he bowed to me, and the young chef resolutely chose to leave this sad place.

Gold shines wherever it goes, but I have to change my temper, otherwise I will always suffer. With the mentality of "it's none of my business and we'll meet again in the future", I didn't pay attention to whether the little brother stayed or left, but I didn't expect that the little brother came to the palace and entered the imperial kitchen. I didn't recognize him when they met again, and I didn't remember it until he mentioned it. Because of this, I became a relative of the imperial kitchen, and every time a new dish was developed, I could go there to enjoy it. I was wrong, he didn't need to change his temper, he was destined to be in charge.

Of course, the imperial kitchen has its own rules. Jiang Chen did not do this blatantly, so the other managers turned a blind eye. Of course, it was not because Jiang Chen was Bei Mingmo's confidant, but simply because everyone was very sensible and when cooking a dish, there had to be an outsider to comment on it.

Besides, the thing that the imperial kitchen has no shortage of is food. Maybe they can say a few good words to the emperor... Hey, Lord Jiang can also come here to try the food.

Jiang Chen originally wanted to quietly go to the imperial kitchen to look at himself in the mirror under the water in the vat, but who would have known that he would take the opportunity to feast on a delicious meal, and all his worries disappeared.

Jiang Chen touched his round belly and burped, then shouted to his little brother Agui, "Let's go."

Agui waved his hand: "Okay, Brother Jiang, remember to come often."

Jiang Chen gave a gesture and walked out, pretending to patrol to monitor whether the guards were doing their duty, and then slipped back to the Qianqing Palace.

"Where did you go this time?" Si Yu asked Jiang Chen, who looked sneaky.

"I want you to manage."

"You went to your little brother to eat and drink again. You didn't even wipe the grease off your mouth. Tsk."

"Ah, is there?" Jiang Chen hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. It was so embarrassing. He thought he was so handsome all the way, but it turned out to be so embarrassing. Looking at the clean handkerchief, Jiang Chen immediately punched Si Yu in annoyance, "What the hell do you eat in your mouth every day? It stinks."

Si Yu smiled as he was punched and said, "How do you know my mouth stinks when you didn't smell it?"

Jiang Chen thought of his own embarrassment and punched the other person again and said, "You can hear it from a long distance away. Do you need to smell it?"

"Oh? Really? You can hear this smell?"

"If I say I can, I can."

Xia Jin saw this scene from afar and smiled, then walked closer and cleared her throat to indicate that she had just arrived.

"Hello, Madam Xia." Si Yu called politely.

Jiang Chen glared at Si Yu and asked Xia Jin angrily, "Madam Xia, what kind of person is Si Yu in your eyes?"

Xia Jin raised the corners of her lips and said, "How can what I see be the same as what you see?"

Si Yu pulled Jiang Chen over helplessly and said, "Stop messing around and let Madam Xia in."

Jiang Chen pouted and was about to step aside when he saw Xia Jin smiling and saying, "He is serious about his work and never smiles. He is a mature and reliable person."

Si Yu: Well, that’s right. This evaluation is fair and very vivid.

Jiang Chen glanced at the complacent Si Yu and was somewhat speechless. He? Si Yu? Serious? Mature? Reliable? Ha. Sure enough, everyone is two-faced. It seems that he is the only one who has seen the dark side of this person.

Xia Jin looked at the change in Jiang Chen's expression and smiled gently, asking, "What's wrong? Was I wrong? Can I go in now?"

Jiang Chen said "hmm" and then stepped aside with a groan.

Xia Jin stepped over the threshold and came to Bei Mingmo's side and told him about her enlightening discovery.

Bei Ming Mo asked with a playful smile: "Why, do you want to be a matchmaker?"

Xia Jin shook her head: "No, if I say it directly, it might backfire."

Bei Mingmo nodded thoughtfully: "Ajin, what good ideas do you have?"

"I plan to arrange blind dates for them separately."

Bei Mingmo raised his eyebrows: "This..."

"Don't worry, they are all old, I know what to do."

"Hehe, as long as Ah Jin is happy." Bei Ming Mo silently lit a stick of incense for Si Yu and Jiang Chen in his heart. It was rare that Ah Jin was in such a good mood. Although she was trying to match you up and find a girl for you, the one that Ah Jin picked wouldn't be bad. You are not young anymore, it's time to get married. Be sensible and accept the girl if she is good. Otherwise, she will really make you two grown men a couple. It makes my eyes hurt just thinking about it.

Xia Jin chuckled and said, "You don't have anything good to say with that expression, do you?"

Bei Ming Mo raised his eyes innocently: "Ah? What's wrong with me?"

"Should I say you are old-fashioned or you have never seen the world? Anyway, I won't force people to be together, so just wait and see."

"Then I'll wait and see." Bei Mingmo smiled dotingly, lowered his head to turn a page of the letter in his hand and picked up the brush. Xia Jin took the inkstone and started to grind it.

Early the next morning, Si Yu and Jiang Chen heard someone report that the Emperor had given them both a half-day holiday. Before they could even feel happy, they were hit hard: Madam Xia was going to arrange a blind date for them!!!

Jiang Chen stood up, washed, tied his hair, fiddled with his clothes, compared them on himself, looked at Si Yu and said, "Hey, Mu Tou, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hurry up and help me see which outfit makes me look more handsome and elegant."

"I don't want to go. Please do as you please." Si Yu glanced at Jiang Chen and felt inexplicably irritated.

"It seems that our master also knows about this matter. You can just go through the motions even if you don't want to go. Anyway, if I get married first, don't be jealous." Jiang Chen put on his guard uniform and nodded with satisfaction. This made him look less deliberate and a responsible man. "Mrs. Xia is so nice. She still cares about us."

When Si Yu saw that the other party was also wearing a guard's uniform, he thought that the other party had the same idea as him and was just going through the motions to give Madam Xia face. His expression improved slightly.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen patted Si Yu's shoulder excitedly and said.

Si Yu was a little surprised by the other person's emotions, but replied indifferently: "Let's go."
