Mr. Wen stretched out his hand to help the young man up, and said sadly, "The Holy One cannot do this!"

The Emperor Longqing looked ashamed, "I can be called a 'Sacred Lord' by Master Wen now?"

Mr. Wen stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, "The Holy Master visited late at night, what do you want the old minister to do?"

Emperor Longqing said: "Naturally I want Lord Wen to help me defeat the rebels and restore the country!"

"Master Wen, don't be selfish, you are a generation of sages! With you here, the scholars of the world will return to their hearts, and the traitor will sit on the throne of the emperor, and his name is not right! Historians, civil servants , The scholar's pen will be used by me, and we must let the world know the true face of the thief."

Mr. Wen had a moving expression on his face, and suddenly his body was shaky and fainted under the emotion.

Emperor Longqing immediately got someone to support him, and then called someone to find Master Wen.

Master Wen bowed to him first, and then cried: "My father is very old, he lost his official body, and his heart is stagnant, and his health is getting worse, and now he can't do without soup... "

When Emperor Longqing left with the eunuch, the old man in the room also opened his eyes.

There is no more moving expression on his face, only the frost on his face.

He is indeed determined to be a loyal minister, but not a foolish and loyal minister. In those years when the little emperor was absurd, he tried his best to persuade and help the court to suppress the eunuchs. what result? The elders of the three dynasties and the emperors and teachers of the two dynasties were finally dismissed from office and returned to their hometowns. He is so old, but if he doesn't pass that level in his heart, he is probably buried in the loess now.

And if the little emperor came to ask for help, he should behave like a corporal, instead of breaking the door in the middle of the night.

He watched the little emperor grow up, and the little emperor knelt down on him, but the fleeting humiliation and hatred in his eyes could not escape his eyes. Even if he can help him restore the country this time, I am afraid that the first person to settle in the future is the "rebel minister" who has committed the following crimes and dared to make the monarch kneel.

What's more, Mrs. Wen really doesn't have the ability to ask himself.

The hearts of the people are like water, and it is hard to recover. Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and now the new dynasty created by King Yi is what the hearts of the people want. It is really like a fantasy to regain the people's hearts that have been lost by himself.

Although Mr. Wen didn’t think as much as the old man, he also understood what the old father meant. He asked aloud: "Father, what should we do next?"

Mr. Wen asked how the situation was outside, and Mr. Wen continued: "The Guards have taken over the entire town."

The old man sighed and groped for a medicine bottle from the dark compartment at the head of the bed.

The bottle is the fake death medicine that the old man found when he was still in the capital. But this drug is extremely harmful to the body. If he takes it at this age, it may become a real death. As a last resort, this is the only way to go.

Father and son were sinking like water, and they were speechless.

On Emperor Longqing's side, after leaving Mrs. Wen's study, he went to a place where no one was there. He took a few deep breaths and gritted his teeth: "This useless old thing!"

The eldest wife immediately persuaded: "Sage, be careful!"

Now they have become bereaved dogs, except for the old man of the three dynasties, such as Mrs. Wen, there is no one else who can be trusted.

"I know," Emperor Longqing pinched his nose irritably, "Let me prepare meals, I am hungry."

They traveled in a hurry, except for the palace and a few imperial doctors who served personally by Emperor Longqing, no one else in the palace brought them with them. Along the way, he slept and slept in the open air. Emperor Longqing was miserable, and he could not eat ordinary meals. Everyone lost a lot of weight.

After being instructed, the palace staff immediately went to Wen's kitchen and asked them to cook some meals.

The cooks were terrified when they broke the door, and then listening to the eunuch's shrill voice, who would not have guessed that this was someone from the palace?

Their craftsmanship is ordinary, and they were invited by Mr. Wen Er for a cheap price, and they were stared at by the **** Shangshan. Under the trembling, the ordinary craftsmanship became even more unattractive.

Shangshan's **** couldn't help frowning when he tasted it, and Emperor Longqing was even more furious when he ate it. He patted the table and said, "Is this humiliating me?"

The people in the house knelt around and persuaded him to calm down.

Emperor Longqing forcibly calmed down his anger again, and people came to Master Wen Er.

Master Wen Er was not much calmer than the other servants in the family, and his calves were shaking when he knelt down.

The **** asked about the food, and Mr. Wen Er immediately begged for mercy: "Sage Shang Mingjian, the family is in difficulty, and I don't have so much money to hire a chef. The cook's craftsmanship is vulgar, and I didn't mean to neglect you!"

Emperor Longqing also begged Mrs. Wen, so he didn't get angry anymore, he only asked Mr. Wen Er, a local person in Hanshan Town, to invite a skilled cook.

The population of Hanshan Town is less than 10,000, and 10,000 Guards entered Hanshan Town, but they took control of the whole town in half a day.

In Gu's house, Gu Yin and everyone looked solemn, and the noise on the street could not be concealed, especially the Wen family's mansion across the street the night before was broken into.

Manager Zhou and Chef Xu went out to watch together.

In the distance, the two saw a number of soldiers with torches in their hands and dressed in uniform.

So I didn't dare to look anymore and came back immediately.

Today came the news that the whole town was under the control of the Imperial Guard of the deposed emperor.

Wang murmured bitterly in a low voice: "Damn it... Forget about the fish and meat people, and now people have been driven out of the capital, and they have come to harm us!"

Although Gu Yin didn't say anything, she actually meant it.

However, as the head of the family and the owner of the food, Gu Yin also came to comfort him: "Don't worry, everyone, since he came to look for the old man, what he thought was to ask the old man to come out and help him. It means to win the hearts of the people. We are ordinary people. If they embarrass us, what are the people's hearts to mention? There is no hope."

Abandoned Emperor is now a rat crossing the street, as long as he still has a trace of reason, he knows that it is time to clamp his tail.

Sure enough, as Gu Yin said, although the Guards took over Hanshan Town, they did nothing else.

It's just that there are no more people on the road of the town. A town that is usually very lively is like a dead city at this time, and it is shockingly quiet.

The door of Gu's house was knocked on that day, and Shopkeeper Zhou and Chef Xu immediately took a kitchen knife to see it.

Seeing that there was only one person standing outside the door, Guan Yutou, the two of them let out a long sigh.

The door opened a crack, and the head closed and entered.

Gu Yin and the others also gathered to listen to him.

Guan Jutou said succinctly: "The chef who was not satisfied with the Wen family had invited Hanxianglou's past. But it seems that he is not used to it, you guys be careful."

After saying this, Guan Zhaotou left immediately.

Several people were worried when they heard the news.

Gu Yin immediately went to change into the old dress that Wang's work wore, and then went to the bottom of the stove to wipe the pot ashes, evenly touched her face, and cut a thick layer with scissors The thick, jagged dog gnaws at the pot lid bangs, covering the top half of his eyes.

After dressing up, she became a black-faced cook, and because Wang was already taller than her, her family became better, she worked more and ate better, and she became much stronger. The clothes are bigger. The half-new dress was extra loose on her body, which made her figure even smaller, even a little shriveled. If it wasn't for the fact that her family was very familiar with her, she would be unrecognizable even if she was dressed like this.

The atmosphere at home was heavy, and her interruption made everyone laugh.

After laughing, the shopkeeper Zhou said sternly: "Don't worry, the owner, if it really comes, I will go."

"I'll go too!" Chef Xu also said, "I look like someone who can cook, and I will help Master Zhou to fight."

Gu Yin curled her lips and said worriedly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to call the shots at that time."

Gu Yin and others had to open the door despite reluctance.

The **** said in a shrill voice: "You are the cooks who eat for heaven? Come with us quickly."

Treasurer Zhou had been prepared for a long time, and immediately went out.

Emperor Longqing gave birth to his mother's womb to be pampered.

Now outside the palace, although I also brought a royal doctor, but there are not so many precious medicinal materials in the end, if it is really sick, it is really unimaginable.

These people who are rootless, can live a life of one person below ten thousand people, but they are all pointing to him.

The great **** Liu Dequan has already explained it, and I must find a new cook today.

Before he came, the **** had specially asked someone to ask, although this restaurant called Shiweitian has only been open for less than a year, the reputation is surprisingly good, especially the owner Gu Niangzi, Earlier, he worked as a helper in Wen's house and made delicious porridge soup named after Mrs. Wen. The back is even more whimsical, and new products are launched every season.

The cooks outside the palace naturally cannot be compared with the royal cooks in the palace. But if, like this lady Gu, she could cook something that people didn't know before, that would be another matter of course.

"You're the cook of that week, right? You're one of them," the **** looked around in front of everyone, "Please also ask Mrs. Gu to come with us."

No way, Gu Yin can only come out.

Wang shi was in a panic, she just wanted to move, but Gu Yin immediately stopped her with his eyes.

"Mother is at home and taking good care of the children, I'm fine."

There are so many people on the other side, it is irrational to really fight hard at this time.

And the attitude of the **** can also be called friendly, if you really want to make trouble, it will only change from being invited to being tied.

The two followed the **** to the Wen family mansion.

Although it is only one street away, it is obvious that the guards near the Wen's house are more heavily guarded - one post at five steps, and one post at ten steps.

But because she came to a familiar place, and the Wen family has an old man sitting in the line, Gu Yin's heart is calm.

The two entered the house, and Mr. Wen Er was accompanying a man who looked like a commander to talk about the layout of the house, so that they could guard it.

This woman is the worst."

The **** knew his identity, so naturally he had to hold him and smiled: "What you said is that Hanshan Town is not a big place, and only these few are famous."

"Hmph, I know about this cook," Wen Er said disdainfully, "The craftsmanship is average, it is the diners who see her young and tender, and she is a woman, so they admire her. Homework is very annoying, let me drive it away!"

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and shoved Gu Yin, "Ugly things don't have to be dirty here, why don't you hurry up?"

The generals beside Mr. Wen Er grabbed Mr. Wen Er's hand, "Master Er is a first-class man, why bother a weak woman?"

Although his tone was quite polite, the disdain in his eyes could not deceive anyone, and he almost didn't understand why the old man had such a son. Of course, he was not the only one who had this idea. Even the little **** who went to find Gu Yin had a look of contempt on his face that could not be concealed.

"Hey, my lord, take it easy!" Master Wen Er's hand was pinched by him, and he hurriedly laughed, "I'm not afraid that such a vulgar person will not serve the saint well, and it will hurt everyone."

There is no reason to be angry because of a cook, the general said to the eunuch: "That's the case, the cook..."

At this stall, the **** who was close to the little emperor came over and said anxiously: "Where's the cook? Did you find it? The sage said that he had an upset stomach and was already angry!"

No one dared to say anything anymore, Gu Yin and Shopkeeper Zhou were led all the way into the back kitchen by the eunuch.

Feet, just tell them to do it right by mouth.

The **** asked Gu Yin and shopkeeper Zhou to cook and eat immediately. Everyone only did the same thing. They must be fast, and they were not allowed to speak, and they stood by and stared at their every step.

There are various ingredients on the table, and there are also preserved eggs that Gu Yin gave to the old man.

She made preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and Shopkeeper Zhou made lion head.

The two of them were quick and easy to eat.

The **** Shangshan, who had been staring at them during the entire cooking process, first tested the poison with a silver needle, then tasted it himself, and waited for another quarter of an hour to confirm that he was not feeling any discomfort, and then put them Divide the work into two.

When he left with the food box, Master Yuan in the corner touched it and said, "Do it well, if you don't do it well, you will be beaten."

He was the first to come, and saw with his own eyes that the original cook of the Wen family was pushed down on the bench and beaten thirty sticks each.

That stick is also something in the palace, although it looks terrible without the yamen board, but I don’t know if it is because of the special structure, before the 30 sticks, those two looked extremely strong Blood dripped from the back of the cook's beating, and the personnel did not know, and in the end he was dragged out of the house like two rag pockets.

Gu Yin and Shopkeeper Zhou both took a breath and asked for more, but soon a guard came in in place of the Shangshan eunuch, so that they were far apart and were not allowed to speak any more .

Two meals, one for Emperor Longqing and one for Mrs. Wen.

Mr. Wen was still pretending to be sick, and when she saw the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, she knew it was Gu Yin.

He was very anxious, but unfortunately now his study is also heavily guarded, and not a fly can fly.

On Emperor Longqing's side, he finally used more, and because he ate hot porridge soup, his stomach that was aching was much more comfortable. After using it, he sighed contentedly and said, "This porridge tastes mellow and fragrant, and it is also very special. No wonder it has the name of 'Grandpa Wen's porridge'. In addition, this lion head, I don't like thick oily red sauce."

Like, let this cook cook for them."

The **** also praised Yitong for being sympathetic to his subordinates and took his order away.

Then the shopkeeper Zhou was taken away, and Gu Yin got a handful of golden melon seeds, although she was impatient, she did not dare to show anything.

Just like that, Gu Yin stayed at Wen's house.

The Emperor Longqing ate finely, not three meals a day, but several meals a day.

Gu Yin has a home and can't go back, so she lives in the penthouse next to the big kitchen.

Because she cooked food for the emperor and was an outsider, the guards and eunuchs looked at her very closely, and found that she and Master Yuan had known each other for a long time, and they also assigned Master Yuan to Another yard's kitchenette went.

This kind of life like a prison passed day by day, Gu Yin didn't know the situation outside at all, and she was afraid that Wang and the others would worry about themselves, and they would become sad without realizing it.

On this day, the little emperor said that he wanted to eat something new, so Gu Yin thought about it, and she started to make yanpi wontons.

She has been cooking more and more slowly in recent days, but because the food she cooks is especially in line with the taste of the little emperor, no one said anything about her.

, after playing for an hour, it is still not finished.

The eunuchs around Emperor Longqing came to ask questions, she quickly confessed: "The people's women want to cook delicious meals for the Holy Master, but these chores used to help the cook, and the people's women are alone Thin, really…”

Being fortunate enough to be brought out by the emperor, and the **** who is usually a high-ranking eunuch, can’t do the rough and heavy work of beating the skin. As for the guards, those who can be brought close to the emperor are all descendants of noble families. Usually, they respect the emperor and disdain other palace servants. Even guarding in the kitchen, they all dislike the fumes. Great taste, don't come in unless necessary.

Let them help this shriveled and ugly cook do the work, then of course no one wants to.

What Gu Yin thought was to ask them to find someone to come in. Even if it was a servant of the Wen family, she could know some news.

But to his disappointment, the **** Shangshan still did not let the servants in the Wen family come in - Mrs. Wen is sensitive and has been calling sick, and the servants of the Wen family have been taken care of, Gu Gu Yin has an old relationship with the Wen family, who can let someone from the Wen family come in and contact her?

In the end, the **** Shang Shan accompanied the smiling face to beg the guards, and soon brought someone over.

Of course he didn't just look for it casually. This man was not only lame, but also deaf and mute. The guards were beating gongs and even swinging knives behind him, but he was unmoved. The guards at the back punched and kicked him again for a full two quarters of an hour—they were all martial arts practitioners, and they knew best where they would not be seriously injured, but they were painful enough. The young man was beaten while holding his head and begging for mercy, but he couldn't make a sound.

After confirming that he is disabled, the guards dare to keep him at Wen's house.

"This is too shabby." Eunuch Shang Shan was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show anything, "What the **** do you want to cook for the sage!"

These close guards who accompany the saint to death? Besides, they are just doing rough work in the kitchen, not serving in front of the saint."

The **** Shang Shan had nothing to say and could only lead people away.

Gu Yin kept working in the kitchen, but her heart was already flying outside.

When she saw that the **** Shangshan led him, she greeted her with a smile on her face.

However, to his disappointment, the man in front of him was unfamiliar, and he couldn't speak. He bowed his hands and saluted when he saw her.

Fortunately, he still had the strength, and it didn't take long for the skin to be beaten, so he finally didn't misunderstand the time for the little emperor to eat.

The Yanpi wonton was praised by the old man, but she felt that the process was troublesome, so Gu Yin did not make it again.

The little emperor also likes to eat, but he doesn't have so many scruples, let Gu Yinming do this again early.

The young man was also left to fight, because he was deaf and mute, the guards did not separate him from Gu Yin, and only kept them in the big kitchen.

Gu Yin looked at him depressedly and sighed. Even if you can't tell her the news outside, you can bring a complete person. Even just dumb or just deaf? At least I can communicate. She hasn't spoken to anyone for several days, and she is really uncomfortable.

She was about to sigh a second time when she heard a cooing sound from the quiet kitchen.

The young man immediately covered his stomach, looking very embarrassed.

Gu Yin put away her slump and said in a low voice, "I have food to eat, a place to live, and my health is good, what's the hurry?"

The current situation will never be worse than when she just passed through and fell ill in a dilapidated house, and in the middle of the night she encountered a thief who climbed over the wall and entered the house.

"I'm hungry too, let me see what I can do." Although she knew the other party and couldn't hear her, she was alive, and Gu Yin, who had been holding back for several days, began to talk to herself speak up.

Gu Yin wraps wontons, this is the first time in her life that she has seriously cooked food.

Qi floated up.

Gu Yin put pepper, salt, and a little MSG left by Master Yuan at the bottom of the bowl, and also tore a small handful of dried seaweed, and filled two bowls of wontons with soup.

"Eat." She brought a bowl of apex to the youth.

The youth nodded and bowed in thanks, Gu Yin also picked up her own.

There are no tables and chairs in the kitchen, only the bamboo chairs and a few small stools that Chef Xu used when he was in Wen's house.

Seeing the young man's tall body shrunk on the small bench, Gu Yin patted him and asked him to sit on the back chair.

The other party shook her head and hurriedly refused, and she didn't insist any longer, and sat down on the back chair herself.

"Is one bowl enough?"

Gu Yin had no appetite at first, but the young man was obviously hungry. First, he drank two bowls of soup, and then ate the wontons. After one bite, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the speed of eating also slowed down. faster.

Gu Yin likes the way others eat delicious food made by herself, so she can't help but look at him more. Upon closer inspection, she found that although the other party's skin was dark, his expression was timid, and there was an ugly brown birthmark on his face. In fact, his facial features were not ugly at close range, but the lines were tough. If the birthmark disappeared or faded, he would not dare to look directly People, submissive look, should be called handsome.

"Why do I think you look familiar?" Gu Yin looked at him strangely, "Are you also from Hanshan Town?"

After asking this question, the young man's hand froze slightly, and then continued to eat at the previous speed.

Gu Yin shook her head mockingly and said, "I forgot that you can't hear. But I used to set up a stall at the pier, and I may not remember seeing you."

Gu Yin followed him to the edge of the sink.

"What's your name? Can you read?" Gu Yin dipped her hand in water and wrote on the table as she spoke. If you can read, you can communicate, at least ask about the situation outside.

Unfortunately, the other party shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.

Gu Yin spoke at a very slow rate and asked his name by mouth.

Although the other party is deaf and mute, but now the other party is his own cook, he can't keep calling the other party "Hello", it seems very disrespectful.

Gu Yinyi said: "So you are called the bench."

The young man looked away and continued to wash the dishes.

Gu Yin stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs up in front of him, regardless of whether he understood it or not: "It's very good, a cheap name is easy to support. I have two grandchildren, one is called a kitchen knife and the other is called a chopping board. They're all good kids."

Thinking of her family outside, Gu Yin lost her interest in speaking.

God bless, let the red-scarred general, like some evil ghost Shura, come quickly!
