The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

He bowed and greeted.

Shen Yan glanced at him and asked, "Who was that person just now?"

"It's here to send the greeting card. Look, this is what he sent." The servant took out the greeting card from his arms and gave it to Shen Yan. Shen Yan took it and opened it, his face immediately changed.

He hurried into Shen's garden, turned around and came to the backyard, where Shen Yeqiu was sitting in a pavilion not far away drinking tea.Shen Yan walked over in a panic, and said, "Master, look at this, I just received it."

Shen Yeqiu saw that there was a strange look on his face, and knew that something serious must have happened. He opened the greeting card and was immediately stunned.This turned out to be a post sent by Prince Yu!

"Master, what do you think about this matter?" Shen Yan regained his usual calmness, and if he looked carefully, he could find a murderous look in his eyes.

Shen Yeqiu closed the post, picked up the tea cup and held it in his hand, and didn't drink it, as if he just wanted to feel the heat of the cup.After a long time, he glanced at the post again, lost in thought.

"Master, it's a bit strange to say, I just met the person who delivered the greeting card, I think I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while." Shen Yan frowned, which was why he had been staring at Liang Jiugong's back just now reason.

He carefully recalled the person's appearance and back, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"I see, it's him—Eunuch Liang who is beside the emperor!"

Shen Yeqiu's hand holding the teacup trembled, the teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the tea splashed wet his hem, but he didn't care.

"you sure?"

Shen Yan shook his head and said: "I saw the new emperor from a distance when he was registering. After so many years, my memory has become blurred. But master, if I see him again, maybe I can tell the difference. It’s really the emperor who came, so we can’t miss it.”

Shen Yeqiu nodded and said: "This is indeed a good opportunity, but is it really possible for the current emperor to come here?"

"Master, doesn't he call himself Prince Yu? If he is not the real Prince Yu, then he can only be the emperor, otherwise, whoever dares to pretend to be Prince Yu will lose his head if he is caught."

"You're right. If it's the dog emperor, hum... we can't miss this opportunity for nothing. After waiting for so many years, we never thought that he would come to our door." A murderous intent flashed in Shen Yeqiu's eyes. He is not at all as kind as he was cooking yesterday.

He wrote a reply to express his welcome to Prince Yu's arrival. Kangxi and others were very happy to read it. According to the agreement, they went to Shen Garden again the next day.

The five people came to Shen Yuan, and unexpectedly found that Shen Yuan was very quiet today, except for a few of them, no one else came.Shen Yeqiu and the butler waited outside the door for a long time, and when they saw them coming, they immediately went up to greet them.

"Grassmen...a few please." Shen Yeqiu wisely changed his words, here he was looking at the five people on the bright side, who knew if someone might be eavesdropping secretly.

"Unexpectedly, it is a great honor to be greeted by Master Shen in person. Master Shen, isn't Shen Yuan doing business today?" Kangxi asked as he followed Shen Yeqiu in.

"In order to welcome the adults, the grass people have ordered the garden to be closed today, so as not to disturb everyone." Shen Yeqiu explained respectfully.

"Master Shen is bothering you."

"My lord is an honored guest, and my lord can come to the Shen Garden, and it will be full of splendor."

While talking, Kangxi and the others followed Shen Yeqiu through the path, and came to the front hall not long after.

"The grassroots see the lord." Shen Yeqiu knelt down to salute, and all the servants of the Shen family also knelt down.

"Master Shen, please, my king is away, so there is no need to be polite." Kang Xixu supported Shen Yeqiu, Shen Yeqiu was grateful, and then stood up.

Kangxi sat on the main seat, Zixiu and Liang Jiugong stood behind him, Ming Feng and Zhang Congyuan waited outside the door, someone had already served him tea, it was the best Longjing tea.

"The reason why I came here this time is because the cook in my house wanted to ask Master Shen for some advice, and I hope that Master Shen would not hesitate to give you advice." Kangxi was in a good mood tasting Longjing.

Only then did Shen Yeqiu notice Zixiu behind Kangxi, and he couldn't help being taken aback, obviously recognizing him.

"My lord speaks too seriously. The grass-roots must know everything they know. I don't know this..."

"My name is Lin Zixiu." Zixiu took the initiative to introduce.

"I don't know what brother Lin Zixiu Lin wants to know?"

Zixiu politely asked him some cooking questions, and Shen Yeqiu expressed his opinion one by one, and he also thought highly of Zixiu.After listening to Shen Yeqiu's answer, Zixiu benefited a lot. Although they have many differences in cooking, the essence of cooking is the same, so Zixiu has gained a lot of inspiration.

The more the two chatted, the happier they were, but they left Kangxi aside. They both felt like they hadn't seen each other for too long. They actually had a lot of common views on cooking!

Shen Yeqiu chatted excitedly, his gray beard twitched and his face was full of excitement.The young man in front of him is not very old, but his cooking skills are far better than most people, and he is the most talented person he has ever met.

Kangxi was amusing. It was rare to see Zixiu so excited. He sipped his tea slowly without any impatience.Liang Jiugong was also an eye-opener. He never imagined that this elm lump could be so talkative.

"Master..." Shen Yan hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to interrupt the two.

Shen Yeqiu stared at him and said, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, lunch is ready, do you want to eat first?"

Shen Yeqiu's mind quickly cooled down, he actually forgot today's purpose just now.He nodded and ordered Shen Yan to serve the dishes.

"My lord, the grass people have neglected my lord, please forgive me." He looked at Kangxi who was sitting beside him, thinking that he had forgotten the protagonist, "The grass people have already prepared lunch, please come inside the lord."

"Master Shen, you're welcome, Zixiu, did you have a good chat?"

"My lord, after Master Shen's reminder, I know that I still have many shortcomings, and I have made a lot of money today." Zixiu said happily, looking at Shen Yeqiu with a little more respect.

Shen Yeqiu said: "Brother Lin is a rare genius, the grass people are ashamed."

A few people talked and laughed, and they had already arrived at the dining room. The table was full of wine and food, just waiting for the guests to take their seats.Kangxi was also polite, and took his seat first, followed by Zixiu, Shen Yeqiu, Liang Jiugong and others sitting outside, with another table of wine and food.

Shen Yeqiu picked up the jug and knew that there was something tricky in it, it was a kind of mandarin duck jug, he knew in his heart that this "Prince Yu" must be the emperor without a doubt.

He poured wine for Kangxi and Zixiu, and with a flick of his finger, he filled it up for himself again.Kangxi and Zixiu were chatting, but they didn't notice his small movements.

"My lord, brother Lin, this is the pear blossom drunk that Caomin has treasured for many years, and I hope you two don't dislike it." Shen Yeqiu raised his wine glass and toasted politely.

Zixiu didn't like drinking at first, but it was impossible not to drink at this level, so he also picked up the wine glass.Naturally, Kangxi was no exception. He loved wine at first, and now that it was a bottle of wine that he had treasured for many years, he wished he could drink twice as much.

Seeing Zixiu who drank it all in one gulp, Shen Yeqiu's eyes flickered. This is a rare talent, but it's a pity that he is someone close to the emperor.

"You two, don't be polite when eating vegetables."

Zixiu tasted the dishes, although they were not as delicious as the ones he made himself, they were still considered top-grade. It seemed that Shen Yuan's cook was really good at cooking.

Shen Yan sat at a table with Liang Jiugong and others in the outside room, and was also persuading him to drink at this time, Liang Jiugong drank two cups greedily, but Ming Feng didn't even touch a drop of wine.As the emperor's bodyguard, he has long been used to not drinking, because he knows the truth that drinking will be bad.Zhang Congyuan is a child and naturally he can't drink alcohol, although he really wants to drink.

Shen Yan saw that Ming Feng couldn't be persuaded, so he didn't force him anymore, so as not to arouse suspicion.He greeted everyone to eat, and thought to himself: Heh, don't think it's just that there is something in the wine.

Ming Feng just took two bites, Liang Jiugong suddenly collapsed and lay down on the table, Shen Yan frowned and said: "I didn't expect this young master to drink so badly, if I knew it, I would have taken other wine."

Zhang Congyuan shook Liang Jiugong and said, "I'm really drunk."

Ming Feng glanced at Liang Jiugong, and keenly discovered that he was not drunk, but poisoned!He "swipe" drew out his long sword and attacked Shen Yan.Shen Yan is not a vegetarian either, he got up when Ming Feng moved.

Zhang Congyuan was taken aback and immediately hid under the table.

"My lord, there is poison in the wine!" Ming Feng shouted, but his voice was covered by a clear and crisp sound.

Shen Yan slammed the wine glass, and many people rushed in at the door. These people were all servants of Shen Yuan, but they all had martial arts skills and extraordinary skills.For a moment, Ming Feng fought with everyone, and he fought and retreated, wanting to retreat to the inside.

"Emperor Dog, today is your death day!" Shen Yan was the closest to the inner room, and while speaking, he had arrived at the room where Kangxi was.

Kangxi and Zixiu stood up when they heard the sound of the wine glass smashing, their heads were dizzy, and they supported each other so as not to fall down.

Shen Yan drew out the dagger in his sleeve and stabbed at the two of them. Kangxi pulled Zixiu back, but the room was only so big, and he quickly retreated to the corner.

Kangxi said: "Who are you? Why did you assassinate me?"

"Stop pretending, don't think that we don't know that you are the dog emperor! Let me tell you, today is your death day!" As he said, Shen Yan stabbed Kangxi with a dagger!

No.30 five dishes

It was too late and then soon, Zixiu turned sideways to block Kangxi, the dagger stabbed straight at Zixiu's right shoulder, but was sent flying by a teacup fragment!The dagger cut through Zixiu's clothes, blood splashed out instantly, Zixiu let out a muffled grunt, his mind cleared up a lot.

Another piece of debris flew over, and this time it directly cut through Shen Yan's neck. Shen Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and slowly fell backwards.
