Jiang Huaiqing never imagined that the first meeting after knowing the identities of the two would happen under such circumstances.
He thought that getting along like in the past would come to an abrupt end after knowing the true identities of the two. When they meet in the future, Shang Junlin is a high-ranking emperor, Shen Yu is a noble monarch in the harem, and he is a conscientious minister. Every official is the same.
Who knew that after he made such preparations, the two unexpectedly appeared in front of the small courtyard where he and He Chengyu lived to avoid the matchmaker.
For a moment, Jiang Huaiqing didn't know what expression to make.
The fright and shock in his heart had reached the point where it could not be added, he watched the two walk in blankly, his mind went blank.
He Chengyu heard the voice stopping in the middle of talking outside, worried about what happened, and quickly put down what he was busy with, and walked out.
At a glance, he saw Shang Junlin and Shen Yu coming towards him.
He Chengyu's footsteps paused, he knew why Jiang Huaiqing suddenly lost his voice, and looked in the direction where Jiang Huaiqing was, sure enough, he was standing there in a daze, looking straight at the two people who kept approaching, without any reaction.
Shen Yu also saw Jiang Huaiqing's reaction, and he was very happy. In his previous life, he was a young and mature subordinate, with layers of secrets in his heart. Although he acted calmly, he always lacked vitality. , Depressedly felt that he could leave this world anytime and anywhere.
Jiang Huaiqing in this life is different, he has like-minded friends, and he doesn't know if Jiang Huaiqing in the previous life met He Chengyu. The current Jiang Huaiqing can be said to be full of vigor and high spirits, with the escape that some young people should have.
Amused by Jiang Huaiqing's expression, he said with a gloomy smile, "Why, are you so surprised to see us come to visit? You can't even talk?"
"This is not a surprise..." It's almost a shock.
Because of the gloomy words, Jiang Huaiqing came back to his senses.
At this time, He Chengyu came over: "The two of you came from a long way, but we missed you because we didn't take good care of you."
"It was originally on a whim of ours. I heard that you have moved to a new house. I am here to congratulate you."
Eunuch Meng, who was also dressed in casual clothes, stepped forward holding a congratulatory gift.
"Be careful, Brother He and Huaiqing will accept it." Shen Yu said.
"The presence of the two of you has already made the humble house full of glory." He Chengyu took the things in Eunuch Meng's hand, and said sideways, "Please come in quickly, both of you."
"Yes, yes, come in quickly." Jiang Huaiqing's slow brain finally returned to normal.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walked in front, and looked at the small courtyard while walking. The location of the small courtyard is secluded. Although the area is not large, the layout is very delicate. There are not many expensive decorations, but it is elegant everywhere, showing the heritage of the family. .
"Huaiqing seems surprised that we will come?" The four of them sat down, and Shen Yu spoke first.
"Don't lie to your lord..."
"Just call me and Ah Lin as usual outside," Shen Yu interrupted Jiang Huaiqing, and looked at Shang Junlin who was beside him, "Is that right, Ah Lin?"
Shang Junlin nodded: "There is no need to be formal when you are outside."
Jiang Huaiqing didn't have a rigid temperament, so he changed his address from Shanruliu: "To tell you the truth, Brother Yu, I really didn't expect to see you here."
"I guess so, Ah Lin and I are just about to leave the palace, so we stopped by to see you," Shen Yu blinked, "By the way, I came to taste the delicacies that you raved about."
What Shen Yu said was mentioned by Jiang Huaiqing in the letter. Their chef came from the south of the Yangtze River. They cook good dishes, which are not the same as the taste of the capital, especially the desserts. I raised my mouth.
"We come out to taste it ourselves and save you trying to find a way to send the things to the palace." Shen Yu added.
Jiang Huaiqing said at the end of the letter that if Shen Yu wanted to taste it, he could ask the cook in the mansion to make more and send it to him.
"To be honest, I didn't turn the corner when I wrote the letter. I didn't realize it was inappropriate until I sent the letter." Some time ago, writing letters became a habit. When Jiang Huaiqing wrote this letter, he subconsciously forgot about Shen Yu and Shang Junlin With her current identity, her tone of voice will remain as casual as ever.
"I'm very happy that you can write to me in the usual tone. I was trapped in the Hou's mansion before, and I didn't have many friends. After Huaiqing, I just get along with me as before."
"Thanks to the fact that the two of you don't dislike it, Huaiqing has the courage to agree. Apart from Brother Chengyu, I am also a little more familiar with Brother Lin and Yu." To be precise, I am more familiar with Shen Yu, and Jiang Huaiqing is like a small animal. His intuition told him from the very beginning that Shang Junlin was not easy to mess with.
So he never went blindly to Shang Junlin's side. During these days of getting along, he has deeply realized that Shang Junlin's good temper and gentleness will only be left to Shen Yu alone.
Some of the waiters in the mansion were old men who served He Chengyu in the south of the Yangtze River. Seeing that the owner had finally had a friend come to the house, he rushed to the mansion for the Jiangnan dishes, so he immediately asked the kitchen to make good preparations, making sure that the guests were satisfied.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were not in a hurry to go back to the palace. Seeing that Shen Yu was really curious about the dishes in He Chengyu's mansion, Shang Junlin offered to stay for dinner, and secretly planned to send a few chefs who knew the dishes from all over the place to the palace after returning to the palace. Go to Yuzhang Palace.
The host and guest enjoyed a small banquet, and under Shen Yu's deliberate actions, the two parties quickly returned to the atmosphere they used to get along with each other.
The cooks in He Chengyu's mansion are indeed as Jiang Huaiqing said, they cook good dishes, especially the various desserts, which are small and delicate, sweet but not greasy, and have an excellent taste.
Nearly half of the desserts on the table went into Shen Yu's stomach. If Shang Junlin hadn't watched him, he would have eaten more.
Unsurprisingly, the result of indulgence is depression.
After returning to Yuzhang Palace, depression was still not very comfortable. Shang Junlin helped him to walk in the yard, and said as he walked, "I shouldn't be soft-hearted, let you eat so much."
Several times on the way, Shang Junlin was defeated by Shen Yu's pleading eyes. Seeing that Shen Yu was eating happily and contentedly, his heart softened for a while.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight sprinkles the earth, and everything that can be seen is covered with a layer of cool silver. It is a quiet night, and occasionally there are a few insects.
After entering the palace, the gloomy life was extremely regular, and he rarely saw the scenery of Yuzhang Palace so late. He looked at the full moon hanging high in the night sky, and sighed: "If I hadn't been holding on, I wouldn't have seen such a scene with Your Majesty." Beautiful scenery, Your Majesty, look at how round the moon is tonight."
Like a jade plate embellished in the darkness, it exudes a faint silver glow, illuminating the entire night alone.
"Ayu is always right."
Shang Junlin held the gloomy hand and walked slowly on the path. The breeze blew slowly, bringing a burst of coolness. The two occasionally whispered a few words, enjoying the rare quiet time.
The next day, Shang Junlin still recruited Dr. Gu to feel the depression.
After a period of recuperation, the gloomy body has improved a lot. Doctor Gu gradually reduced the Ping An pulse from once every two days to once every seven days, and those bitter medicines were also eliminated.
Imperial Physician Gu took Shen Yu's pulse with ease, withdrew his hand, and said: "Your Majesty has some accumulated food, I prescribe a prescription, after two doses of medicine, it will be fine."
Shen Yu never expected that one day he would take medicine for this reason, put down his sleeves and asked, "The medicine this time is not like last time, is it?"
Shen Yu was really terrified by the medicine that Doctor Gu prescribed last time, he never wanted to try that indescribable taste again.
There was a faint smile in the eyes of Imperial Physician Gu, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't be so bad."
After taking the pulse, Imperial Physician Gu didn't stay any longer, and after giving some precautions, he got up and left.
Mu Xi took the medicine and decocted it. She was always responsible for the medicine that Shen Yu wanted to import, and she did not pretend to be someone else. Based on the memory of her previous life, Shen Yu wrote some about the usage of cement, and planned to organize it for Shang Junlin to bring to the Ministry of Industry. people.
"What is Ayu writing?" After the court, Shang Junlin came directly to the Yuzhang Palace. Now, apart from the imperial study and the main hall of the early court, the place where Shang Junlin stayed most was the Yuzhang Palace.
The favored degree of Shen Yu in the palace has changed from surprise at the beginning to no surprise now. They now feel that it is not strange for His Majesty to do anything for your lord.
"These, I plan to sort them out and give them to the Ministry of Industry to see if they can make more things." Shen Yu spread out the written content in front of Shang Junlin.
After reading it, Shang Junlin pondered: "This cement is more useful than I imagined."
"Your Majesty, come here and let me lean on you." The content was almost sorted out, and when Shang Junlin came back, he was depressed and didn't want to move.
Shang Junlin sat down as he wished, and Shen Yu immediately leaned over.
Shang Junlin put his arms around the man, and said slowly: "Ayu's gift to me this time is more useful than I imagined, how should I repay Ayu?"
Shen Yu: "I just put forward some ideas, and the specific implementation is still contributed by the Ministry of Industry. Rather than rewarding me, His Majesty should give the Ministry of Industry some convenience."
Shang Junlin: "Ah Yu, what's the idea?"
Gloomy: "I'm just thinking about what Minister of the Ministry of Industry said last time. The Ministry of Industry is different from other places. It needs people who are skilled in various skills. Your Majesty might as well set up a special exam to select talents for the Ministry of Industry."
If a country wants to develop and grow, it needs all-round development, especially innovation. This is the truth that Shen Yu realized in that book.
"This method can be considered, the Ministry of Industry is indeed short of manpower, and I will invite ministers to discuss matters later." Shang Junlin raised his hand and squeezed his gloomy face, "What about Ayu, doesn't Ayu want anything? "
"Your Majesty has already given me a lot. I just put forward some ideas. Whether it will be beneficial to Da Huan in the end depends on the future. If Your Majesty really wants to give me something, you should owe me a request. Wait until the future proves that these are all right. Da Huan is advantageous, and it will not be too late for His Majesty to agree to my request."
"good."
While talking, Mu Xi brought the decocted medicine over, and Shen Yu frowned when he saw the pitch-black medicine.
Shang Junlin took the medicine from Mu Xi with a funny face: "You go down first."
Mu Xi bowed his head and backed away.
Shang Junlin approached with the medicine in his hand, and immediately backed away gloomily.
Don't blame him, looking at Shang Junlin's posture, he thought of the weird medicine before, and he didn't know what kind of mood Shang Junlin was feeding it to him.
"What is Ah Yu hiding?" The smile in Shang Junlin's eyes spread, and he stopped behind him with one hand, preventing him from retreating further, "Didn't Doctor Gu say that this medicine is not as bad as before?"
