[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

Liu Mei tasted it, it was a little faint orchid fragrance...

It seems to be in an empty valley, lonely and elegant, and no one appreciates it after all.

Immediately, a lingering bitterness gradually appeared on the tip of the tongue—as if in this cool early morning in early winter, the slow bells and drums aroused Geng Geng’s infatuation...

I have tasted the indifference of the world, experienced the heat and turmoil; I have mustered up the courage to stumble forward, but it is inevitable to regret and give up... All the regrets are remembered at this moment, and the bottom of my heart is poked, and it is inevitable that my heart will be full of knots—— —

In the end, there is only a bit of orchid fragrance that has washed away the plum blossoms between the lips and teeth.

Shiqing had already let go of her, but opened his arms, embracing her vainly, letting her hide her face on his chest, and patiently waiting for her to calm down.

The flower hall was so quiet that you could even hear a needle drop on the ground, because the melons in the hands of the melon eaters had already been shocked and dropped.

Everyone was thinking that this loyal and obedient prince really had a high position and authority, and he was not afraid of criticism. In the presence of such a large crowd, he simply settled down to his "sleeve-breaking habit".Some even thought, sure enough, this Master Xiaoliu was the person His Royal Highness had taken a fancy to at all... Shicai was really lucky, none of them tried to be brave and really beat Xiaoliu, otherwise they wouldn't have been a thorn in the side of His Highness?

But the person who was most surprised was Lin Xiaohong, she knew Liu Mei's identity, so she also knew that Prince Zhongshun definitely had some kind of Long Yang interest.

She knew Liu Mei's talent, and she didn't want to see her friend being buried, so she took the initiative to ask Liu Mei to help in Hongshun Tower.But she never thought that she would watch Liu Mei get into trouble.Thinking of this, Lin Xiaohong clasped her hands tightly in her sleeves, pinching out a little blood.

Xie Xiaochuan's face was pale, and he stepped aside, staring blankly at everything in front of him.At this moment, he finally understands that he is just unlucky in the past, and everything has never belonged to him, whether it is the imperial gift signboard that is about to be obtained...or Liu Mei.

Liu Mei took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to raise her head.

Shiqing let her go and let her turn around on her own, facing the silent people in the flower hall alone.

"Lan Ying Wine!"

she said, her voice trembling a little.

The owner of the tea garden sitting behind her was visibly shocked, and his eyes showed admiration.

The rest of the people didn't understand, and were at a loss.

"In the past, there was a saying in "Qifa" in Meicheng, 'Lanying wine, drink to cleanse your mouth'. After drinking this wine, there is a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, but it is a very light orchid fragrance. His Royal Highness Prince Zhongshun just drank it. The wine is soaked in orchids, so it can be called 'Lan Ying's wine'."

Liu Mei spoke again, and indeed regained her composure and confidence. The more she spoke, the calmer she became, and the smoother she spoke.

Never expected it!

After Liu Mei was treated like this by His Royal Highness Prince Zhongshun...in public...after that, what she thought of was tasting wine.

There are people with a pure heart, such as Wei Laosan, who almost give a thumbs up, praising Liu Mei's professionalism.

But he didn't understand that this was Liu Mei defending her little bit of self-esteem - she clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves, trying to be calm, trying to save face, as if that was not a deep kiss that touched her soul just now, But it's just for official business, just to discern the faint smell of alcohol on his lips, just for the outcome of a competition...

However, in this competition, she won.

The owner of the tea garden clapped his hands behind him, applauded loudly, and said, "It is indeed 'Lanying wine'. If His Royal Highness hadn't revealed it to me in private just now, I would have thought hard about this faint fragrance and slightly bitter taste. What is it?"

"I didn't expect that Master Liu could distinguish so clearly, and he could even explain the allusion of this wine clearly. This ability to taste famous wines in the world is really amazing."

Liu Mei turned around and bowed to the owner of the tea garden to thank him.She was very grateful to this man in her heart, and she actually excused and covered up for her, calling Shi Qing's act of kissing her rashly just now as "tasting famous wine".

"So, who else is really dissatisfied with the results of this competition?" The owner of Mingyuan is a good person, and he simply opened his mouth to ask questions for Shiqing and Liu Mei.

No one dared to speak up, no one dared to question—two steps behind Liu Mei, stood the cold-faced Wang Shiqing who made people shudder.His demeanor and standing posture are all telling the world that Liu Mei, from the hair to the heels, are all his people.

"Then it's settled. The winner of today's competition is Hongshun Tower in Beijing. Thank you for your hard work." Seeing that there was no objection, the owner of Mingyuan announced the result loudly.

"Besides," Shi Qing added, "Everyone here has performed well and deserves to be commended. This time the four families will enter the capital. In addition to receiving rewards from this king, this king will also order people to announce All over the world, Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong and Yang, the four major cuisines are respected by the restaurants here."

This sounds very honorable, but the cunning Zhou Li and others understand that it is Shiqing who is protecting Hongshun Tower!

From now on, if all restaurant chefs in the world want to fight in the ring, they will first compete with their own cuisine masters first. Who has the time to travel thousands of miles to the capital to trouble Hongshunlou?

"Mei'er, tell me about you... What are you going to do in the future?"

Liu Mei finally got on the bus with Lin Xiaohong and went back to Jia's mansion.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Liu Mei stayed up all night, and now she felt so tired that she was about to fall apart, and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car.

"Wait, Mei'er, don't fall asleep, change back your clothes first!"

Xiaohong hurriedly pushed her up, Liu Mei only half-closed her eyes and let Xiaohong toss, change the man's robe on her body, and put it back into the standard outfit of a little girl in Jia's mansion: jacket, bijia, skirt, and wrapped Put on a big sweater.

Lin Xiaohong then removed Liu Mei's hair, and said, "It's because this peach-red headband is not good, it really brings peach blossoms to you."

Liu Mei pretended to be dead and didn't answer.

"Speak up!" Lin Xiaohong pushed Liu Mei, "No way, you really like that fierce Prince, Your Highness!"

She let out a long sigh, "It's all my fault! If Aunt Liu finds out about this this time, she will definitely not have a good time with me. Maybe Auntie will make up her mind to marry you off as soon as possible... ..."

Liu Mei said lazily: "You don't say it, I don't say it, Lao Shao and the others were outside at the time, no one saw it... Who will remember this in the future?"

She would try to forget it—it was just that the violent heartbeat lasted for a while, and she didn't know how long it would take for her to successfully forget it.

"Woo--that's good!" Lin Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, but she cared about her friends, so she couldn't help but say a few more words, "You should also know that that person... that person's identity is different from that of us who are slaves and handmaidens. Yes, there is a world of difference.”

"Just like you, I know that you are talented and beautiful, and you are also very good at heart, but so what? Even if you are a good citizen and not a slave, if you enter the palace of the loyal and obedient prince, you will only be tortured by others Son……"

Liu Mei secretly thought, yes!In this hierarchical generation, he is a prince under one person and above ten thousand people, but she...she is nothing.If you really want to miss him, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?

It's just... some things can't be forgotten after passing by.

She only put the tip of her index finger on her lips, and she seemed to be able to recall the temperature on his lips.

What's more terrible is that she didn't feel that she had much affection for that person's identity and that person's "face", but at that moment, she suddenly felt——I really hope that someone understands her, and someone can understand her like this She, it feels so good.

"I really... didn't think about anything!" Liu Mei said aggrievedly, letting Xiaohong comb her loose hair into two buns.

"Just as long as you don't think about it!" Xiao Hong's subordinates were busy quickly, and they kept comforting Liu Mei.

"Hong'er, it's great that you met Second Master Yun!" Liu Mei suddenly said this in a daze.

Thinking of Jia Yun, Lin Xiaohong felt warm in her heart, and couldn't help answering proudly: "That's—" It's just that she thought about what happened to Liu Mei just now, and she didn't know how to show her affection in front of her friends, so she quickly changed the subject and said: " Let's talk to each other first. Let's just say, Second Grandma Lian had some urgent work to do last night, and I really couldn't help it, so I invited you here. When the work was over, the garden gate was locked, In the end, you stayed with me all night..."

She watched Liu Mei yawn big, and hurriedly said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so one of us couldn't hold back and talked all night! So... you should catch up on sleep as soon as you go back!"

Liu Mei's eyes were flushed red, with sleepy tears in her mouth at this moment, she asked lazily: "Don't I need to go with you to report to Second Grandma Lian?"

"My ancestor," Lin Xiaohong felt quite sorry when she saw Liu Mei was so tired, "You have earned such glory for grandma's property, grandma thanked you before it was too late, why are you talking about these vain gifts?"

While speaking, the car driver had arrived at the back street of Rongning.

Xiaohong ordered the driver to park the car in an unobtrusive place, and then got out of the car with Liu Mei.

When getting out of the car, with a "bang", Liu Mei's body shook, and her forehead hit the wooden frame of the cart, causing a patch of red on her forehead.Xiaohong was startled, and quickly pulled her away, "Are you okay!"

Liu Mei gritted her teeth and shook her head, "I'm fine!"

But there was a bit of crying in her voice.

Xiaohong only thought that she was really hit hard, but how could Xiaohong know that the moment Liu Mei wanted to step out of the carriage just now, a long-lost "ding" suddenly sounded in her mind...

"You... who are you?"

"Me? I am your portable assistance system, and my name is Shiqing."

"Since you are my portable auxiliary system, why weren't you here a while ago?"

"I greeted you once, I need to complete a self-upgrade..."

"Since I've been upgraded, you can abandon me and find another host? ... It's been so long since I've been away, and there's no news. I can live well on my own, you, you...you Why are you coming back?"

"I came back because... I'm a little curious about you!"
