Palace Full of Delicacies

There is a curfew in the capital, and after dinner time, the East Street gradually becomes deserted.

Su Yu marinated the ingredients to be used tomorrow, and counted today's income, then packed his things and left Xianmantang.The alley outside the back kitchen was empty, and I could hear the echo of my own footsteps as I walked on the road.

"Who?" A black shadow passed by behind him, Su Yu suddenly turned his head, but found nothing, he couldn't help feeling a little lost, and said to himself, "Sauce, you don't come back to see me..."

It has been nearly a month since Jiang Zhi'er disappeared. At first, he was very worried that the fierce hidden guard was so rough that he might not be able to take good care of his cat. Until King Zhao told him that he saw Jiang Zhi'er in the palace, And that guy is doing well, so I feel a little relieved.It's just that when Su Yu asked whether Jiang Zhi'er was a beast protecting the country, King Zhao's expression was a little strange.

Sighing, Su Yu looked around again, turned and left, his thin figure looked more and more lonely under the moonlight.After he walked out of the alley, a touch of gold came out from the thick leaves, his amber eyes were like glazed glass under the moonlight, quietly watching Su Yu's back gradually drifting away.

The Su family's house is still deserted. Although Su Yu has earned a lot of money recently, he has not added any servants to the family. After all, as a modern person, he doesn't need it at all.Life in the big house seemed to be getting tighter and tighter, and he resigned two old women in a row. Hearing that the big aunt wanted to sell the uncle's housemate, there was a lot of trouble.

Su Yu was busy with the affairs of Xianmantang every day, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters at home. He listened to Zhao Shi's talk every morning at his appointment, and most of them came in from his left ear and out of his right ear.

The uncle was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, when he saw Su Yu coming in, he coughed lightly and said, "Yu'er, come here, uncle has something to tell you."

Su Yu hadn't seen Su Xiaozhang for quite a while, he seemed to be a little more haggard than before, he thought to himself that something was wrong with his title again, even though he didn't want to see this uncle, he still had to face it, he respectfully stepped forward to salute, "What's your order, uncle?"

"Zong Zhengsi has already posted a notice that there will be a general election early next month." Su Xiaozhang looked at Su Yu's face, but couldn't see any emotion, so he could only continue, "There are very few male concubines in the royal family. You will lose face if you go up." Saying this, he squinted at Su Yu's expression and saw that he was still unmoved, so he couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly. If you don't get caught up in the trick, is it possible that you really want to run for the election?

Su Yu naturally heard clearly that his uncle was afraid that he would participate in the general election and would kill the signs in the cradle.However, although there are a lot of misleading things that uncle said, there is also some truth. Let him, a big man, participate in the beauty pageant, and give people a good evaluation. Based on his mastery of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he will kill fish The way he cooks, he will definitely be scorned, and then he will lose the election, leaving a dark history in his second life.

In the future, Xianmantang will open all over the country. When people talk about the family history of the big boss Su Yu, they will say that this kid participated in the selection of concubines in the imperial palace, but was thrown out in the first round. achieved today.He really didn't want to have such an autobiography with ups and downs, really!

Seeing Su Yu's absent-minded appearance, Su Xiaozhang felt annoyed in his heart, and raised his voice: "Do you know why so many honorable children don't hand in name cards? If they really go to run for the election, it will be a problem to talk about relatives in the future!"

"Oh," Su Yu replied in a clear voice, "Uncle is right, if that's the case, let's tell my cousin about the marriage quickly, so as not to be picked by Zong Zhengsi." He didn't even hand in the name card , Uncle's worry is purely superfluous, but Su Yu didn't intend to tell him so kindly.

Su Xiaozhang was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"It's nothing else, my nephew is going to rest first." Su Yu was too lazy to talk, and flung his sleeves and left after paying all the courtesy.

The room was empty, and the night in late spring was still a little cold. Su Yu lay on the bed and sighed. The people of the Su family couldn't let him rest for a few days. He really didn't have the heart to fight for the title of the third-class general. My ideal is to open a chain seafood restaurant, but no one understands.In this different time and space, probably only the kitten would listen to his nonsense.

The sky gradually became gloomy, and in the second half of the night, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds and it was pitch black.It was a night with a dark moon and a high wind to kill people. On such a night, people felt inexplicably uneasy.

Su Yu didn't sleep very well. He unconsciously clenched the corners of the quilt in his sleep. In the middle of the night, he vaguely felt that someone was lifting his quilt. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw a little fur ball stuffing his head into the quilt, trying hard to get in. drill.

It's like waking up in the middle of the night to see Santa stuffing presents into a stocking, there's no better surprise than this!Su Yu held his breath, he couldn't see clearly without the moonlight, he just felt the fluffy guy burrowing into the quilt, flexibly turning the direction, revealing his little head.Somewhat disgusted, he tugged at Su Yu's arm, thought for a moment, then got down on his body and put his head on it.

Just as he put his head down, a pair of soft and warm lips were printed on the top of his head.

"Sauce!" Su Yu whispered, rubbing his mouth against his hairy head.

The kitten on the arm stiffened for a moment, immediately raised its paw to press its hot mouth, and rubbed its head vigorously on Su Yu's underwear, damn it, it wet his fur again!

"Sauce, you're back, I'm so happy!" Su Yu kissed the meat pad next to his mouth, and tried to rub his belly with excitement.

"Meow!" The kitten in his arms couldn't take it anymore, jumped up, squatted on the pillow and looked at him angrily.Stupid slave, dare to be so frivolous to me!

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore," Su Yu smiled foolishly, put his face next to the cat's paw, looked up at the condescending uncle cat, blinked his eyes, and said softly after a long time, "Sauce, I miss you so much."

Stupid thing... The amber eyes are still cold, but the hairy ears have turned red, flicking the tail, turning around and pointing the butt at Su Yu.Really, although I already knew that you, a stupid slave, admired me, but it is really indecent to say it so bluntly.

"Where did that person take you that day? Did you really live in the palace? Then how did you escape?" Su Yu was immersed in the lost and found happiness, talking to himself against the warm Mao Mao.

Hmph, don't you just want to win my pity by putting on a stupid look in the alley?An Hongche flicked his tail, yawned while lying on his paws, and soon fell asleep listening to Su Yu's muttering.Tomorrow I have to go to court, and I have to get up before dawn, so I don't have time to listen to stupid slaves acting like a baby.

The next day, Su Yu opened his eyes in a happy mood, only to find that there was nothing on the pillow, and his heart felt cold. Could it be that he was dreaming last night?After sitting in a daze for a while, I suddenly found that there was light in my hair. I looked down and saw a few golden hairs twinkling in the morning sun.The corners of the mouth gradually curled up, Su Yu took off those few cat hairs and pinched them on his fingertips. At this moment, he really believed that Jiang Zhi'er was not an ordinary cat, he had extremely high spirituality.

Is it really a guardian beast...

After breakfast, he went to greet Mrs. Zhao as usual, and met Su Zhi who also came to pay his respects.

"Second brother..." Su Zhi still looked shy, hesitating as if she had something to say.

"Xiao Zhi, what's the matter?" Su Yu looked at the thin and frail little girl, and couldn't help but soften his tone.

"This..." Su Zhi bit her lip, and took out a royal blue purse from her sleeve, which looked like a man's style.

"Give it to me?" Su Yu took it and took a closer look. It was embroidered with cloud patterns with silver thread, although it was simple but very delicate, and there was a five-blessing zipper tied with silver soft string at the end, which was very unique.

"The embroidery I just learned a few days ago is not good at embroidery." Su Zhi twisted her sleeves, a little nervous.

"It's so beautiful, you made this net?" Su Yu was very surprised. Speaking of which, Su Zhi has only been a female celebrity for less than a month, and she has achieved such an achievement, which can be called a genius.

"Well, I knew how to make a network before." Hearing the compliment, Su Zhi finally showed a smile on his face.

When Mrs. Zhao heard the two talking in the room, she called Chuncao out and called them in.

"Zong Zhengsi has already started to review the list, and I think he will come to announce the decree in a few days." Although Mrs. Zhao is in the inner house, the news did not arrive slower than Su Xiaozhang. Looking at Su Yu, he said with some concern, "The name post you Is it ready?"

Naturally, I didn't pay it, Su Yu replied vaguely, and said I did.In fact, he still doesn't even know which way Zong Zhengji's gate opens.

"I've asked someone to cut some summer clothes for you, and I'll try them out." Mrs. Zhao opened the cloth bag on the table with great interest, revealing several high-quality clothes inside.

Now Xianmantang's business is booming. After deducting expenses every day, the net profit is more than 20 taels. After three to seven times, Su Yu can earn seven or eight taels of silver, which is comparable to what he earned in two or three months when selling fish.The days are finally a little more comfortable, Zhao's tailoring of clothes for Su Yu is no longer limited to cheap Gebu, and he dared to buy brocades that cost one foot and one tael of silver.

"I'm in the kitchen every day, so there's no need for this." Su Yu looked at the wide sleeves, and couldn't imagine himself wearing silk and satin sleeves and holding a spoon. The two young apprentices probably died laughing.

"Brother must look good in this." Su Zhi picked up a set of water-blue clothes, her little face flushed with excitement, girls are always full of interest in beautiful things.

Unable to resist the mother and daughter, Su Yu had no choice but to change clothes behind the screen.

Su Zhi tiptoed and put a crown on him, with two strands of tassels hanging softly between the blue hair.The silver-edged belt is buckled around the waist, and the water-blue gown is tightly bound, covered with a wide-sleeved gauze dress. He has a slender figure and a face like a crown jade.
