My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

The dishes include local flavors of South Vietnam as well as famous dishes from the capital. They are all refreshing and appetizing summer dishes that look elegant.

After Lu Zhenzhen raised her chopsticks, everyone followed suit.

From time to time, maids would come and go, asking the guests in a gentle voice if they would like anything to drink.

Both room temperature and chilled.

Moreover, these girls were polite in their movements, and their footsteps were not heard at all. Such a grand atmosphere made the female members of the family, who had just relaxed a little from playing mahjong, become restrained again.

They deeply felt how huge the gap was between them and the noble ladies in the capital.

Fortunately, the dishes tasted good, although the women were nervous and afraid of making a fool of themselves at the table.

They only dared to pick up the food on the plate in front of them, and from time to time they would glance at how Lu Zhenzhen was eating, watching and remembering it in their hearts.

I plan to practice this when I get back. When I go out to attend banquets in the future, I will also practice this posture so that I look like a noble lady.

After the meal, everyone had their own thoughts and ate some of the food casually.

Even Lu Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the banquet was over. Seeing that no one had used it much, Lu Zhenzhen asked everyone to serve a bowl of ginger milk, and everyone used it.

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen showing a little tiredness, the county lieutenant's wife immediately said goodbye with a tactful look.

Even if others wanted to get close to Lu Zhenzhen, they could only agree and stand up.

Lu Zhenzhen didn't stay in vain, and just said some polite words like "we can get together again when we have time in the future."

He stood up again and asked Nanny Ye to send the person to the door. The female relatives felt very proud.

After getting on the carriage, I was still thinking about what I saw and heard at the banquet today.

As soon as the guests left, Lu Zhenzhen collapsed on the couch, rubbing her face, which had been trying to maintain a fake smile but was almost stiff, and ordered, "Hurry, ask the kitchen to cook me two or three dishes and serve them with a bowl of rice."

Ding Xiang smiled and told a little girl to go to the kitchen to give instructions, then walked behind Lu Zhenzhen and rubbed her shoulders. She had been serving food for half a day and felt tired for her wife. She couldn't help but say, "Madam, you set the menu yourself, why aren't you full yet?"

Lu Zhenzhen's face fell as she complained, "Isn't this just to show off my personality? After all, this is my first appearance, so I have to put on airs and establish my image, right? Otherwise, if I host a banquet for them for the first time, will there be two big pork knuckles on the table, and each person can hold and chew on half a chicken?"

"We have to look like we're from the capital. We have to look stylish! We have to look impressive! We have to look impressive! Do you understand?"

Dingxiang said she didn't understand, but as long as it was said by the lady, it made sense. She nodded repeatedly with a confused look on her face.

Nanny Ye smiled at the side, "Madam, you've worked hard today, but we've achieved our goal. With what you've done today, I think the White Jade Crystal will be well-known when it goes on the market."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but give Madam Ye a thumbs up: "Madam, you are really amazing. You just said a few words to intimidate them all."

Nanny Ye smiled reservedly: "It's nothing. I just need to show how I used to talk to those ladies from outside the palace. That's enough."

As they were talking animatedly, Fu Zhiyi, who was ahead, had already learned that the banquet was over, so he strolled back to the backyard and just came over.

I just happened to see two or three side dishes and a pot of steaming green stem rice being delivered from the kitchen.

I couldn't help but ask, "Who's not full?"

Lu Zhenzhen was too lazy to get up to greet him, "I'm not full, do you want to have some too?"

Fu Zhiyi had long been accustomed to having lunch with Lu Zhenzhen every day. They didn't eat together at noon today, and the food prepared in the kitchen was light, so he just ate some.

Now, smelling the taste, I feel like I can eat some more.

He sat down and ordered, "Serve me a bowl too."

Dingxiang smiled and served a bowl of rice to each of them. Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, she pulled Nanny Ye out together.

Fu Zhiyi habitually picked up two pieces of food for Lu Zhenzhen with his chopsticks before starting to eat himself.

Fortunately, both of them had eaten a little before, so they were not too hungry at the moment, so they were not in a hurry.

He ate slowly and talked at the same time.

Lu Zhenzhen told Fu Zhiyi about Nanny Ye's behavior today, as well as the flirting and words of the other female relatives.

Finally, he said, "I saw that the county lieutenant and the wife of the chief clerk were a bit tentative when they first came in. Then, Madam Ye brought out her former palace service demeanor, and she actually intimidated the other women."

"We have done what we should do. The rest depends on the Lin family's ability."

The food is right in front of him, but if he doesn't even have this little ability, I think it's time to change him.

Fu Zhiyi nodded.

After dinner, Fu Zhiyi was about to take Lu Zhenzhen back to the house to rest, but he was not only rejected but also taken to the pavilion and asked to write a letter to the emperor.

"Today we have borrowed the palace secret recipe as an excuse. Although it is not a big deal, since it involves the palace and His Majesty, it is no small matter. You should report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible and write down this recipe as well."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhenzhen said distressedly, "One last thing to add. Since I've borrowed the palace secret recipe, if I make any money, I'll give a share of the profits to Your Majesty. This will be considered as a fee for using the palace secret recipe."

Fu Zhiyi looked at Lu Zhenzhen while writing.

Lu Zhenzhen ate a bowl of cherry yogurt while mumbling, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not as good as you at being an official, but when it comes to flattering His Majesty and making Him happy, you're not as good as me! For His Majesty, those of us who come out on special missions must be especially careful. We must report every detail to His Majesty and not take matters into our own hands."

"Even if you have to act in an emergency, you must report it immediately afterwards. There must be no concealment."

"Treat His Majesty with sincerity! This is what my godfather told me! I think he's right, so even though this matter isn't a big deal, His Majesty still needs to know. Don't underestimate it; if it gets brought up later, it could be a serious crime."

There are too many such things in history. When they need you, they will do you a thousand favors and even want to be in the same boat with you. They will call you "my dear" all the time.

If they don't need you anymore, or find you an eyesore, then even the smallest incident from years ago can be dug up to prove that you have rebellious intentions.

Lu Zhenzhen didn't want to work hard and take risks with Fu Zhiyi to do things outside, but end up leaving something behind.

We must resolutely nip these trends in the bud!

Fu Zhiyi's hand, which was writing furiously, paused for a moment, and Lu Zhenzhen's words reminded him.

Fu Zhiyi understood!

He is now thousands of miles away, shouldering such a heavy responsibility. Although Tang Liang is the pair of eyes that His Majesty has placed by his side, this is not enough.

After thinking for a while, he put the written letter aside, took another piece of letter paper, and while thinking, he wrote down his plans and arrangements on the letter paper one by one.

Seeing that Fu Zhiyi had finally gotten the idea and started writing a work summary report, Lu Zhenzhen nodded with satisfaction.

Leaders like their subordinates to ask for instructions early and report late, especially the emperor, who has a strong desire for control. Only when he knows that you hide nothing and everything is under his control can the relationship between the monarch and his subjects get along for a long time.
