When Yinzhen and Nian Shilan sat at the table, what jumped into his eyes were four dishes and one soup that seemed simple but were actually very elegant.
Nian Shilan pointed to a dish and said with a smile: "Master, don't you like to eat roasted deer tendons the most? Today's dish is made by my brother who happened to hunt a sika deer on the way back from the army. My brother took the freshest dish. The deer sinews were delivered quickly."
"I asked someone to make the soup with pheasant, add wolfberry, astragalus, and add slices of deer tendons, and stew it over a slow fire for a whole day. It is the best way to nourish the master's energy and health."
"And this dish is the duck with soy sauce that I like to eat. I know that my master doesn't like sweets, so this dish is salty and delicious."
"This is beef brisket braised with tofu pudding, and this is jade belt shrimp. For today's soup, I asked the small kitchen to stew burdock black chicken soup. Are you satisfied, master?"
Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilanjiao and smiled, his thoughts changing.
Nian Gengyao was only a small military guard and leader, so he could use manpower and horses to transport supplies first. If he helped his great cause in the future, he might be overriding himself.
But it would be a pity if Nian Gengyao could not be used.
But none of Yinzhen's thoughts showed on his face.
Still smiling, he looked at Nian Shilan's onion-like fingers pointing at the menu introductions on the table.
Although Nian Shilan was telling Yinzhen about the dishes, in fact she was also silently testing Yinzhen's bottom line.
She knew that Yinzhen was suspicious and thoughtful, so she first let Yinzhen adapt to Nian Gengyao's publicity.
She wanted to guide Yinzhen to reuse Nian Gengyao, but also to make him tolerate Nian Gengyao.
Only in this way can you protect yourself and your family.
Nian Shilan knew in his heart that his father had already been promoted to governor of Huguang and was getting older.
The eldest brother Nian Xiyao only wants to study literature, but he is not very flexible.
The only person the Nian family can rely on to get ahead is their second brother Nian Gengyao.
As for his younger brother Nian Keyao, he is no more than 12 years old this year. He is timid and timid every day, and he doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Nian Shilan thought of her last life, when she and Yinzhen often ate together.
At that time, my heart and eyes were filled with this man, and I just wanted to be by his side for the rest of my life, to have children for him, and to be bound by him.
In this life…
The two of them had their own thoughts on the meal.
It was summer, and Nian Shilan was sweating again after dinner, so she pestered Yinzhen to go to the garden to cool off and eat.
After having dinner, Shuge was bored and couldn't go to bed immediately, so he took his maid Bauhinia to the garden.
A lantern is lit in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The breeze blows gently on the lake, and the shadow of the lantern is swaying like a play.
There is a row of lotus flowers planted in the lake. Since late spring, because the lake in the palace garden draws water from a hot spring outside, the lotus flowers in the palace garden are the earliest and most beautiful.
Shugege walked towards the lake center pavilion without realizing it. The faint sound of silk and bamboo floated in the distance, and she listened attentively.
Yes, it should be the new group of actors who joined the palace a few days ago who are practicing.
I heard that the new songs of those actors are so exciting to listen to, and when I listened to them today, it was true.
Shugege held a round fan with a beautiful face in her hand. She gently stretched her arms and couldn't help but twist her slender waist to the sound of silk and bamboo.
She almost forgot how long it had been since she had danced.
Probably when his family fell into decline, he entered General Anbei's Mansion and became the personal maid of the concubine Yixiu.
Later, when she entered the palace and became Princess, she only dared to dance in her own room.
Shu Suyan is Shu Gege’s original name.
Yinzhen and Nian Shilan watched from a distance as Shugege danced in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The fan in her hand sometimes stretches forward softly, as if inviting her lover to dance with her.
Sometimes it opens and closes in a fierce and high-spirited manner, with a posture like a female general pointing out the battlefield.
It wasn't until the silk bamboo in the distance stopped that Shugege slowly stopped, making a beautiful closing movement.
Yinzhen looked at Shugege dancing, but what he thought of was another person.
Nian Shilan looked at Yinzhen's soulless appearance and remembered the Jinghong dance performed by Zhen Huan in the previous life.
At that time, Nian Shilan didn't understand why the Jinghong Ball filled the eyes of the then emperor, Aixinjueluo Yinzhen, with surprise and nostalgia.
Later, Nian Shilan realized that it was Yinzhen looking at Yunxi through the dance.
The woman who died young but occupied all of Yinzhen's love.
After Shugege finished dancing, he turned around and saw a pair of perfectly matched couples standing by the lake.
She took a closer look and saw that it was her master and Xi Fujin.
Shugege hurriedly let Zijing support him and walked towards the direction where they were standing.
