Famous and beautiful Tang Dynasty

"Okay, what a great poem! This poem reminds my father of the time when he went to war. It's really very appropriate. It came from the place where he fought, and no one returned it. It's been a long time since my father has heard such a heart-warming poem. Chang Le, this son is really a great talent!"

"Father, there is one more thing that I have doubts about."

"What's the matter?"

His Majesty Li Er asked urgently.

"Magistrate Wu's wife has recovered as before."

Princess Changle fluttered her beautiful big eyes and said.

"What? Seriously?" His Majesty Li Er had an unbelievable expression.

"When did the son deceive the emperor?"

Princess Changle pouted in displeasure.

"Do you know who healed Wang Yan?" His Majesty Li Er asked in surprise.

"My son is also very curious, but after many inquiries, I only know that Wang Yan got better after Lin Ran entered the mansion. Before that, no doctor had ever been in or out of Wu county magistrate's mansion."

Princess Changle replied truthfully.

"So, Wang Yan's incurable heart disease may be healed by Lin Ran?"

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback by his own thought.

"Father, I think this may be the only correct reason."

"Could it be that he still has medical skills? And is he an unfathomable medical skill?" His Majesty Li Er sighed in a low voice!

"My son, I'm not sure yet, but I believe it won't take long before my son can get the answer."

Princess Changle answered truthfully with her beautiful big eyes.

"Okay, Chang Le, my father allows you to continue to observe in secret. If you find out the secret of Lieutenant Lin Wuqi, if you find something different from ordinary people, tell your father immediately."

"My son, I will definitely live up to my father's expectations." Princess Changle replied respectfully.

The second exam started on February [-]th, and it mainly tested the scriptures.

This is Lin Ran's weakness, but after this period of hard work, especially the previous exam papers that Wu Puguang found for him, he has made great progress.

Coincidentally, most of the Jingyi test papers this time were within the scope of Lin Ran's study.

This made Lin Ran very happy when he got the test paper.

So after carefully checking the test questions, I sharpened my pen and started to write!

It took Lin Ran half an hour to finish the test questions, and after checking carefully, he stood up.

The examiner really noticed Lin Ran this time, because this little guy's poems and prose last time were really good.

He didn't want Lin Ran to fail in the second exam.

"Has the boy finished the test paper?"

Unprecedentedly, the examiner asked.

"Mr. Xie reminded that the students have already finished the exam questions."

Lin Ran knew that the examiner was doing it for his own good, so he immediately responded gratefully.

The examiner walked up to Lin Ran, put away the test paper, and only saw the first few questions, the examiner's eyes lit up.

He knew that he was worrying too much about Lin Ran.

All of the boy's answers were almost perfect and impeccable.

Once again, Lin Ran was the first to leave the examination room under the watchful eyes of all the candidates.

Wu Puguang, who was waiting on the sidelines, saw Lin Ran come out, with a smile on his face, and a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Jing Yi is said to be Lin Ran's weakest test subject. If he can pass it smoothly now, the third policy discussion will be no problem for Lin Ran.

"Mr. Xie, the student did well in the free test today."

Lin Ran happily bowed to Wu Puguang and said.

Chapter 28 Stewed Mutton

"Hurry back to the mansion so that you can rest and rest. Your mistress ordered someone to buy two whole sheep from Chang'an, and I will give you a tooth-beating sacrifice at noon today."

Wu Puguang lovingly stroked Lin Ran's head and said.

He knew that the young man in front of him would have a better and greater future than himself, so now he cherishes the time with him very much.

"Thank you teacher and mistress, the students are really hungry, let the students make it for the teacher and mistress at noon, and make a kind of mutton stew with a special flavor?"

Lin Ran's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he spoke.

"That would be the best. Your teacher still likes the stir-fry you cook. Although Xiaohong has learned it, she can't make it taste like you."

Wu Puguang happily stroked his beard and responded.

"Teacher, Mr. Lin, you handed in the paper so quickly again?"

Princess Changle got off the carriage, greeted Wu Puguang first, then turned to ask Lin Ran.

"Miss Li Le, the boy is very satisfied with this Confucianism test. The girl came just in time. We can taste the stewed mutton together at noon."

Lin Ran replied with a smile.

"Okay, it just so happens that the girl doesn't plan to go back at noon, Cuizhu will deliver the Ganoderma lucidum prepared for the young master to the young master's room."

"Understood, Miss."

Cuizhu agreed in a crisp voice.

"How can you let the girl spend money for the boy? The boy feels very sorry."

Lin Ran declined with a smile.

"You just accept it. Last time your strategy made your father receive a reward in the court. You should get these."

Princess Changle said with fluttering beautiful big eyes.

"Then, the kid will be disrespectful."

At noon, Lin Ran stewed a large pot of mutton in a large pot. Of course, he used the simplest but most delicious stew method in later generations.

You only need to sprinkle a little salt and a little shallot when it is about to come out of the pan.

The key point is to take the trouble to pour out the blood several times, as well as the foam that rises during cooking.

Lin Ran was busy in the kitchen with Xiao Hong's assistance.

I have to say that the mutton stewed in a big pot is delicious!

Everyone in the living room was swallowed by the smell of meat coming from the kitchen.

Xiao Hong carried a pot full of steaming mutton and put it on the table.

Princess Changle's eyes lit up instantly, she had eaten mutton a lot in the palace.

But it was the first time she had seen the mutton stewed in such a clear soup.

Smelling the tangy fragrance, Princess Changle knew that it was definitely a rare delicacy.

Lin Ran took a small pot of lamb chops and put them on the table, and said.

"Such fresh and tender lamb chops are the most delicious, Mrs. Li and Miss Li hurry up and try them while they are hot."

After speaking, Lin Ran thoughtfully picked up a piece of lamb chops for Wang Yan and Princess Changle, and put them in the bowls in front of them.

"Teacher, you should try it first. Lin Ran made another piece for Wu Puguang."

"You are a sensible child. You are the hardest, and you eat first."

Mistress Wang Yan picked up the bamboo chopsticks and picked up the biggest lamb chop, and put it in Lin Ran's bowl.

He looked at Lin Ran with a smile and said.

"Yes. Thank you, Mistress."

Lin Ran said with red eyes, it feels so good to be cared and loved by others.

Chang Le gently blew on the steaming lamb chops in the bowl.

After taking a bite of the lamb chops, she knew she had come to the right place today.

A taste that she had never experienced before was writhing vigorously in her mouth, instantly making Princess Changle feel her taste buds open.

Closing his eyes happily, Chang Le realized that the imperial cooks in the imperial dining room in the palace were simply too bad at cooking, and he had to tell his father to strictly manage the imperial dining room when he returned home.

A few people couldn't stop their chopsticks from eating, and a large pot full of mutton and a small pot of lamb chops were eaten upside down.

Lin Ran had to look at their appetite differently and re-evaluate it.

"Master Lin, I want to discuss something with you."

Princess Changle said in embarrassment while clutching her round belly.

"Miss Li wants to ask if there are any more? Bring some back to my father?"

Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin is really understanding." Princess Changle became more and more embarrassed.

"The boys are all ready for the girl. When the girl returns home, just let the Cuizhu girl go to the kitchen to get the food box."

In the Lizheng Hall, His Majesty Li Er was discussing the song Guan Shanyue with Empress Changsun.

"Guanyin maidservant, now I feel that I might have done something wrong at the beginning?"

His Majesty Li Er sighed with some melancholy.

"Erlang is referring to the matter of being named Wu Qiwei?"

Empress Changsun immediately understood the worries in His Majesty Li Er's heart.

"It's exactly this matter. Now it seems that this son's literary talent is too amazing, and he will definitely become a master."

"Erlang is so worried. After all, he was named Wu Qiwei for his contribution to quelling the rebellion. Erlang should be happy to have a young man with both civil and military skills."

Empress Changsun walked up to His Majesty Li Er and said aptly.

"Royal father, queen mother. Let's see what my son brought you?"

Princess Changle jumped up and down and came to His Majesty Li Er.

"You don't need to guess, father, you can already smell the smell of mutton."

His Majesty Li Er sniffled and said with a smile.

"Father, that's amazing. Cuizhu put the food box on the father and queen."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Cuizhu respectfully replied that when she returns to the palace, Cuizhu must do what a court lady should do.

"It's so fragrant!" Cui Zhu opened the food box, and Empress Changsun couldn't help admiring.

"Father, queen mother. Hurry up and taste it while it's hot. The food boxes are sealed to keep warm."

"Erlang, do you feel that Changle loves us very much recently?"

"My concubine's words are justified, and I'm also deeply touched. Recently, the two of us can't even eat the food in the imperial dining room."

His Majesty Li Er responded with emotion.

"Royal father, queen mother. Once you taste this mutton, you will know how unpalatable the food made by the imperial dining room is."

Princess Changle said with fluttering beautiful big eyes.

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun smiled noncommittally.

Together, they used the chopsticks arranged by green bamboo to put the slightly steaming mutton into the bowl, and after putting it in their mouths, the expressions of the two of them brightened instantly.

"It's delicious. The mutton is not only fragrant but also delicious. The most important thing is that it is fat but not greasy. It whets the appetite! Changle should be the skill of Wuqi Lieutenant Xiaolin?"

His Majesty Li Er looked at Princess Changle with a smile and asked.

"Father is indeed so wise that he can even guess this. My son admires it."
