To Li Qiniang's surprise, Qi Wei did not order food.

Daniu said: "The Duke of the State said that the proprietress would eat whatever the proprietress did. The Duke of the State also said that the proprietress would cook less and that it would be enough for two people to eat."

Hearing the three words "two people", Li Qiniang's hand holding the kitchen knife trembled and almost cut her fingers.

"Okay, I understand." She took a deep breath. Her daughter said that if she was worried or nervous, taking a deep breath can relieve it.

After taking a deep breath, Li Qiniang calmed down and did not need other people to side dishes. She prepared the ingredients in an orderly manner.

Qi Wei sat in the private room, looking around at the decorations in the room. There was a picture of the five blessings in the door hanging on the wall. The signature on the seal was a strange name. It was just as good as painting skills and had too much craftsmanship. It was not painted by famous artists, but it meant auspiciousness, so it was very suitable to hang it in a restaurant.

However, Qi Wei soon discovered that the pastel teapot and tea bowl in front of him were not painted with common flowers and birds, but also gourds.

This is a bit interesting, just a small gourd reveals the uniqueness of the restaurant owner.

Qi Wei really wanted to know what other private rooms look like, are they all gourds, or are they different?

As soon as the big bull came in, Qi Wei asked his own question.

The big cow replied with a smile: "Every private room is different, there are peony, cat, fairy peach, flowers and birds, and by the way, there are fish."

"Is this what your boss thought of, or is it the young boss?" Qi Wei became interested.

"It should have been thought of by the boss's wife and the young master. That day, the villain accompanied them to choose porcelain. The young master said that he wanted to buy more colors. Each private room was different. The boss's wife said, so he simply bought paintings according to the patterns of porcelain. The porcelain can only be bought ready-made, but the paintings are different. If not, people can paint them separately. Fortunately, these are common colors and they were all equipped in just two days."

Daniu was very proud. He and Dazhuang came to the capital with the boss’s wife. How could they see these in the countryside and in Pingcheng? When he got married, he also matched the tea sets and paintings at home.

Qi Wei nodded with a smile, took out a Feng Hong and handed it to Daniu: "Thank you for your hard work today, I'll buy wine."

The big bull was a little embarrassed. It was not the first time he received a reward from both in Pingcheng and Beijing. The young master said this was called tip.

But the one in front of me is the prince, my god, if he told his father that he had spoken to the prince, his father, his uncle, and his aunts and aunts in his family, he could show off his life with the villagers!

"Please accept it, it's what you deserve." Qi Wei smiled gently, and could tell that this was a simple young man.

The bull grinned and smiled silly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

The big giant had already decided that he would keep Feng Hong, and he would not spend the money inside. When he returned to his hometown, he would hand over Feng Hong to his father, so that his father would be proud.

When Li Qiniang came over, she had not yet walked to the Hongyan Gate and saw the joyful big bull.

"Boss, look, the Duke of the State rewarded him." Daniu showed Feng Hong to Li Qiniang.

Li Qiniang laughed, this silly child.

"Please hold it up quickly, don't lose it." She said with a smile.

"Yeah, I will definitely keep it, I will definitely keep it." Daniu said happily.

Li Qiniang smiled and shook her head, reached out to knock on Hongyan's door. The door was covered with a faint feeling, and a gentle voice came from inside: "Come in."

Li Qiniang pushed the door and walked in. Qi Wei was sitting there. When he saw the green skirt, he stood up.

Li Qiniang wore a light red narrow-sleeved jacket, which was clean and neat. She had a silver hairpin on her bun. One end of the silver hairpin was made into the shape of a plum blossom. Each petal was embedded with a small ruby, which was extremely exquisite.

Qi Wei looked at Li Qiniang, just like the arrangement in this private room, simple but unique, and just right.

Li Qiniang was a little embarrassed by his eyes and put down the tray in her hand. Just now, Da Niu had already brought the dishes, and the one in the tray was a casserole.

"When I came, I looked very happy to see the big bull running out."

Qi comforted his eyes fell on the casserole, but there was no small hat on the casserole.

"Is there something missing on this lid?" Qi said in condolences.

Li Qiniang looked at it and suddenly realized: "You are talking about the hand cushion. Oh, I have done several of them and I have almost lost them. I am afraid that I will lose them again, so I didn't take them over, but I tried it, the lid was not very hot."

Li Qiniang said, lifting up the lid of the casserole, and the familiar fragrance of rice came to her face.

Qi Wei sniffed and smiled, "I'm going to tell you, since I drank the porridge you cooked and then drank the ones cooked by others, I always feel that the taste is bad."

Li Qiniang smiled and said, "It's just the most common white porridge, it doesn't taste like that."

Qi Wei looked at her with a gentle look, but she had a smile: "No, as long as the food cooked by your hands is different from others, even the imperial chef in the palace cannot cook your taste like this."

Li Qiniang's cheeks were slightly hot: "You are so good at speaking."

"I didn't know what I didn't know, but when I met you, I'll know it naturally."

......

The place where Chai Yan took Yan Xuehuai and Dong Wanqian was not a restaurant, but an elegant but remote courtyard.

Yan Xuehuai looked away, and the dusk gradually rose, and the courtyard was built against the mountain.

"Where is this?" Yan Xuehuai pointed at the green mountain not far away.

"Pear Blossom Mountain, there are many pear trees on this mountain. In spring, the pears are as white as snow. The pine and cypress I see now were planted later." Chai Yan explained.

It turned out that this was Lihua Mountain. Yan Xuehuai had already guessed a little about the owner of the courtyard.

The one who came out to greet them was a young man dressed as a servant. When he saw Chai Yan, his eyes lit up: "Master Qi, you are here, please come inside, please come inside, Oh, if the master knows that Master Qi is here, he will be very happy."

Chai Yan nodded and said, "Chengxin, tell you that the master of the family, we are just here to have a meal."

The servant named Chengxin hurriedly said, "Okay."

As he said that, he said to another servant who followed him: "Cuqing, go quickly, Master Qi has a meal."

Ci Qing ran and ran.

Chengxin led Chai Yan and his party in. The pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, flowers and trees, and the cold fragrance was refreshing.

Passing through a green bamboo forest, there are several exquisite elegant houses.

Chai Yan walked in with a familiarity, Yan Xuehuai followed him without looking sideways. However, Dong Wanqian looked around curiously and muttered in a low voice: "This doesn't look like a restaurant no matter how you look."

But when she stepped into the room, she exclaimed in surprise. There was a huge blue and white porcelain jar in the room, and a few lotus flowers floated on the water.

"Is this a lotus? Why is it different from what I saw?" Dong Wanqian said curiously.

Chengxin quickly explained: "When it comes to the girl, this is carefully cultivated by my master after several years. As long as the temperature is moderate, it can bloom all year round. Girls can smell it. The fragrance of this lotus is more fragrant than that of ordinary lotus."

Dong Wanqian went up to smell it and said loudly: "Really, this flower is so fragrant, it's a little more fragrant than the one in the lotus pond."

The beautiful maid brought tea and snacks, and Chai Yan said to Chengxin: "Okay, go and do it."

Chengxin said goodbye and stepped back.

When Chengxin left, Yan Xuehuaicai asked, "Is the owner here Mr. Lu Er?"

Chai Yan nodded: "You guessed this?"

"Well, I probably couldn't guess it, but later I said that this mountain was Lihua Mountain, so I guessed it." Yan Xuehuai said.

The emperor gave Lihua Mountain to Mr. Lu Er, who wanted to build a college here.

This is no secret. Yan Xuehuai heard from the scholar who was having a meal at Li Shiji.

Dong Wanqian didn't know, and she asked: "Who is Mr. Lu Er?"

Yan Xuehuai said: "Mr. Lu Er is named Lu Wenying, and he is the second son of Mr. Lu Zhili. By the way, you have met Lu Jinxing. Mr. Lu Er is Lu Jinxing's father."

"Oh, it's him." Dong Wanqian suddenly lost interest. She had no good impression of Lu Jinxing. She looked even whiter than her and more delicate than her. This is not a man, and it's even more hateful. Lu Jinxing had to shake it with a fan in the winter. This was either sick or pretending.

Chai Yan was a little excited. Coriander remembered the Lu family so clearly, and it was definitely not because he was interested in the Lu family, but because Lu Jinxing was a person around him, and the relationship between the Lu family and the royal family was extraordinary.

Coriander, unknowingly, was already standing beside him.

Chai Hao has always been the only one who supports him in their family. Now there is one more one, how can he be unhappy?

"Will Mr. Lu Er come here at that time?" Yan Xuehuai asked worriedly. She didn't want to have dinner with an old peddler.

Chai Yan shook his head: "No, since I said I was just here for dinner, he would not come over. If I had the chance, I would take you to see him. Then you will know that Mr. Lu Er is the most interesting person in the entire Lu family."

Speaking of this, Chai Yan suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Lu Er's academy will be completed in at most half a year. Haozi will come here to study. Do Xiaoman and Dong Yun want to come?"

Yan Xuehuai was stunned. She had never thought about this.

"Mr. Lu Er's academy still accepts children?"

She remembered that when those scholars talked about this, they all looked fascinated. Therefore, Yan Xuehuai thought that this academy, like the Shuren Academy in Heping City, only recruited children or scholars.

"Since Haozi comes here to study, he will naturally collect children." Chai Yan said.

Yan Xuehuai was delighted. Even in modern times when she came, parents still wanted to let their children enter prestigious schools.

If Li Qiniang knew that Xiaoman could come here to study, she would definitely be very happy.

Even if there is a sky-high tuition fee, Li Qiniang will find a way to take it out.

But......

Yan Xuehuai's eyes showed a gloomy look: "Xiaoman... Can he do it?"

"Why can't it be? Xiaoman's origin, I think he was sent to the East Palace a month or two ago." Chai Yan certainly knew what Yan Xuehuai was worried about, and she was worried that Xiaoman would be recognized.

That's right, although Yan Xuehuai knew that even if he had met Xiaoman before, he would not dare to put Xiaoman on Chai Ran, he was a smart person. What if he met someone who was smart?

After hearing Chai Yan say this, Yan Xuehuai has no doubts. Since the prince already knows that Dong Xiaobai is a bandit, how can he not investigate Xiaoman?

There is no need for the prince to give this kind of thing to himself. When Chai Hao played with Xiaoman and Dong Xiaobai for the first time, someone would report their origins and eight generations of ancestors to the East Palace.

Chai Hao's identity is quite special. He is not an ordinary emperor grandson, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he is likely to be the future prince and the future emperor.
