Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

Ye Chongjin didn't file a complaint after all.

The old man is old but has a big temper. In front of Ye Chongjin, his benevolent eyebrows are like Maitreya Buddha. He has no tolerance for other juniors, let alone the eldest grandson who has high hopes. Looking back, there will be good fruit for him to eat.

Ye Chonghui also knew in his heart that his younger brother's kindness this time was considered to have saved his life, otherwise he would have suffered a lot if it fell into the hands of his grandfather.

He lowered his brows and said softly, "A Jin, you still don't want your brother to be punished, don't you?"

The youth of twelve or thirteen years old has shown his demeanor, and the influence of a century-old scholarly family has made every inch of his bones engraved with elegance, nobility and nobility, just like the jade conceived from the rocks of Xuefeng mountain, there is an indescribable warmth in his warmth. The indifference of neglect.Even if you only show weakness a little, it's like watching the cold jade melt, which makes people unable to remain calm.

Ye Chongjin glared at him, and only snorted softly: "I don't want you to be punished, but you want me to be scared."

Ye Chonghui frowned, and his tone was serious and cautious: "Because Ah Jin will approach me only when he is afraid. You and I are brothers, and we should be the closest people in the world. My brother only hopes that Ah Jin will be closer to me in any situation. You can always rely on me, when you are afraid, when you are being bullied, even when you are lonely, you can always think of your brother."

The child stared at him for a while, and finally, like a little grown-up, sighed.

"In the future, brother is not allowed to lie to me again."

Ye Chonghui held his little hand and promised word by word: "Never again."

Chun Yi stood aside with her head bowed, she was not as courageous as Xia He, she didn't dare to peek, but she couldn't control her ears, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the two young masters reconcile.

The two brothers entered the Funing Courtyard together, after a while, a person turned out from behind the rockery, it was not someone else, but Ye Yanbai.

The Prime Minister was a little helpless, but also a little funny, and sighed: "These two brothers are really capable of causing trouble. Such trivial matters almost alarmed the old man."

Thinking of his father's love for his grandson all the time, if he really went to the Kangshouyuan, that bastard Chonghui would at least go to the ancestral hall to kneel all night, but he deserved it.

Ye San, the head of the guards in the mansion, followed behind him, and hurriedly said: "I feel that the two young masters are very respectful and respectful, which is very enviable."

Ye Yanbai didn't comment, but squinted his eyes and said: "You said earlier that Ruoyao always goes to the outer courtyard these days."

Ye San said: "Exactly."

"Who are you going to see?"

The man paused for a moment before saying: "Miss nephew went to the outer courtyard to find a cook named Yao Mingzhen."

Ye Yanbai's eyes flashed, it happened that it was Yao Zhen, and Ah Jin asked him for someone, but it was a bit difficult to deal with.

Ye Sandao: "Actually, this subordinate has one more important matter to report to your lord."

"But it doesn't matter."

"My subordinates secretly investigated this chef's life experience and found some unusual things. My lord, have you ever heard that Yao Yidao, who was named a master chef in the previous dynasty, more than 20 years ago, on the night of the collapse of the previous dynasty, the imperial palace was killed? Someone once witnessed Yao Yidao escape from the palace with the remnants of the former royal family... And this Yao Zhen, his saber technique is very similar to Yao Yidao's unique skill back then - Xingyue 36 Style."

"You mean, this Yao Zhen may be a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

"My subordinates don't dare to speculate wildly, but now Lord Lu is investigating the rebellious party, and my subordinates are worried that if he really has anything to do with it, I'm afraid it will implicate the entire Xiangfu."

Ye Yanbai stroked his beard, walked forward, and said to himself: "Lu Lin, it's true that he is not easy to dismiss."

========

The next day, Yao Zhen entered the Funing Courtyard. In the past few years, he has been summoned occasionally. Several maids in the courtyard recognize him, especially Xia He, who has a lively and pleasant personality. Brothers and sisters with different surnames are common.

However, in this yard, his favorite is the young master.

Seeing him, Ye Chongjin smiled and asked, "Yao Zhen, have you researched anything delicious recently? Tell me about it."

Seeing the smiling child, Yao Zhen could no longer hold back the smile on her face. She nodded and said, "Yes, I specially developed a dish for you, my master, called Babaozhen Duck." Because the child said, if he Those who dare to call themselves "slaves" or "little ones" in front of themselves will just pack up and leave, and have no choice but to boldly call themselves "I".

Ye Chongjin twitched her lips and said, "I've eaten eight-treasure duck before, it's not unusual."

Yao Zhen said: "My eight-treasure duck is different from the eight-treasure duck that you eat, master. There are several side dishes in the ordinary eight-treasure duck that are cold in nature. Master eating it is not beneficial and harmful to the body, so I prepared another one. A few side dishes, supplemented by warm herbs, are the most nourishing for the body when eaten in autumn."

Seeing Ye Chongjin stare angrily, he was in a daze, not knowing what he said wrong.

Xia He hated iron and said: "You wood, the little master is tired of taking medicine, and you still add it to the dishes. Although it is a good intention, it doesn't make the little master feel bad."

Yao Zhen hurriedly said: "I know master doesn't like to take medicine, so I used other ingredients to adjust the taste of the medicine. If you can't taste the taste of medicine, don't worry, master."

Ye Chongjin was relieved at this time, the little white tiger had also finished feeding and was led in by the servants. The little guy was full, and ran towards the owner with his fur shaking. Caught off guard, he couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Yao Zhen stared intently, thinking that the tiger was going mad and trying to hurt people. In a blink of an eye, a narrow kitchen knife slipped from her sleeve to her hand.

Xia He yelled: "My good brother, if you hurt the heart and soul of the little master, you will pay for it with your life!"

Chunyi also said: "That tiger is different from ordinary tigers, it doesn't hurt people, don't be impulsive."

The child hugged the little white tiger and sat up. Seeing this posture, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said: "There are some beautiful little girls in my yard, but it's for nothing. You can see who you like, and I'll just replace you." You are just a matchmaker."

Surrounded by a group of girls, Yao Zhen blinked stupidly, "Ah..."

Although he is a little dumb, but he looks handsome, and the girls are a little shy for a while, so they let him go and stay away.

Only Xia He chuckled, and said: "Master, stop teasing him, he is very dull, if he jokes casually, he will take it seriously."

Ye Chongjin said: "I'm not just joking, Yao Zhen is almost twenty, she can't stop asking for a wife all the time, right Yao Zhen."

Yao Zhen scratched the back of her head, and said: "My little master is right, but I'm just a cook, I can't do anything except cooking, I don't know a few big characters, and I don't know how to earn money to live. Even if I get a wife, I can't do anything." Tell her to accompany me to suffer together, why bother."

Ye Chongjin stroked the big cat's fur, and said: "The ancients said that you should start a family first and then start a career. You can learn if you don't know how to read. The important thing is that you have a skill. Your cooking skills are even better than the royal chefs in the palace." , if I am willing to let people go, you go out and open a restaurant, and after a few years, Zuixianlou, Piaoxiangju and Jueweizhai will all have to close, are you afraid that you will not be able to establish a business in the future?"

"That said..." But he is a poor cook now, and he doesn't want to let the girl's family accompany him to be wronged in vain.

Ye Chongjin smiled and said: "Don't make things difficult, I won't force you to get married, it's up to you to marry a wife."

Yao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and the girls in the room covered their mouths and laughed.

Because Ye Chongjin had many girls serving in the courtyard, Yao Zhen didn't dare to do anything wrong. Except for Ye Chongjin's summons, she was busy working in the small kitchen when she was around. It was no different from the outer courtyard before, except that she couldn't see the girl who loved to laugh.

He didn't know her identity, but the girl often asked him for food in private.

He is a cook, so people look for him only for food.Just looking at her attire, even if she is a maid, she should be a first-class maid in some courtyard, but her temperament is not like that, she looks a bit like a young master, she looks like a woman who has read a lot of books and is full of knowledge.

Such a girl is beyond his imagination.

========

After another half a month, Gu Chen thought that his childishness should pass away, so he went to the Prime Minister's mansion. To be on the safe side, he specially prepared a box of snacks from the imperial dining room as an apology.

Because the weather turned cold, the child also added a coat, a sapphire blue brocade shirt with water patterns, and a pair of snow-white plum blossom boots on his feet. He was sitting on the swing and was sleepy, and the person who was shaking the swing behind him was not a maid. It was the little white tiger.

A cub of this age eats a lot of food every day and needs enough exercise to expend its energy. However, Ye Chongjin is not in good health and cannot stand the toss. Besides, he is naturally lazy and too lazy to move. I didn't want to, so I finally came up with such a way.

The little white tiger obviously thought it was an interesting activity. He pushed forward with his paws, ran to the front quickly, stretched out his paws, and pushed back, having a great time.

Ye Chongjin was very comfortable being rocked by it, and just about to compliment her, the swing suddenly stopped.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that his pet had "betrayed".

Under the shade of a tree, the young man in brocade clothes squatted halfway in front of a little white tiger. His face was calm and slightly complicated for his age, but the stupid tiger didn't notice it. It tilted its head and let him stroke it. His eyes were surprisingly bright, and he flicked his tail enthusiastically, making people suspect that it was not a tiger, but a puppy in tiger skin.

This was the first time Ye Chongjin saw that the big cat was getting close to someone other than him.

"What are you doing here?" he said.

Gu Chen smiled flatteringly at him, and said, "I'm here alone to see if Ah Jin has calmed down." After a short pause, he seemed a little disappointed: "It seems not."

Ye Chongjin said: "Ah Jin dare not be angry with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Chen raised his lips and said, "In this world, is there anything Ah Jin dare not do, huh?"

He got up suddenly, and the little white tiger followed him, walking towards the swing together. Ye Chongjin puffed up his cheeks and didn't answer.

Gu Chen stood on the left side of the swing, shaking the rope lightly. Neither of them spoke. When the little white tiger saw a beautiful butterfly, he left the two masters and ran away.

After shaking for a while, he held the rope to stop the swing from shaking. He squatted halfway in front of the child and looked up at his porcelain-white face. Ye Chongjin was also looking down at him, and said, "What are you doing?"

"Ajin, I know I was wrong, but there is still a chance to repent."

Ye Chongjin frowned and said nothing, Gu Chen brought up the exquisite lunch box beside him and said, "What if we add this box as an apology?"

When the food box was opened, the soft, glutinous and sweet smell penetrated the child's nose. He swallowed, not confident enough to say: "Don't try to send me away with a box of snacks, my father set up a small kitchen for me, and I have a powerful big brother." Chef, the cakes he made are more delicious than this..."

Gu Chen knew that he was talking about Yao Zhen, but that kid was young, he hadn't learned many dishes, and the ingredients used in the palace were not seen anywhere else.

With a chuckle, he raised his hand to cover the lunch box, blocking the scent in the box, and regretfully said: "Since Ah Jin doesn't like it, I'll think of other ways and come to see you some other day."

As soon as he lifted his foot and took a step, a small hand grabbed the hem of his clothes, and the child's tone was very aggrieved.

"I didn't say I despise..."

Gu Chen: "..."
