In mid-May, the four-yearly Pearl Feast was held in central Beijing, and lanterns were decorated in front of all major restaurants. Even those who did not participate in this competition, came to celebrate.The place where it will be held is still in the Chu Palace.This Chu King Yin De is the younger brother of Tianyan Emperor Yin Shang's mother, with mediocre talents and honest personality.One of his hobbies is eating. Even if the cook in his house is regarded as an imperial cook, he may not be able to compare with it.The seniority of Chu Palace is there, even if he knows the background of each family, he doesn't have to be afraid, he can give a fair evaluation.

The qualifications for the major restaurants in Beijing are selected by the people in Beijing, including Fengyue Tower, Lanting Pavilion, Desheng Tower, Family Banquet, etc., but among them, Fengyuelou and Lanting Pavilion are the most likely to win.Some time ago, the two major restaurants were building momentum for this competition. Although King Chu would not favor any one, he would listen to the opinions of the people.As early as more than a month before the pearl feast, he put a box in front of the palace gate, which contained the opinions and suggestions of common people on eating.

Everyone wanted to go to the lively pearl feast, but the common people were only allowed to stay in the periphery of the royal palace.There are forbidden troops sent by the emperor in the palace of the Prince of Chu. They are afraid that someone will wait for the opportunity to cause trouble. There are also many medical officers in the palace waiting by the side to check the ingredients and deal with all kinds of bad stomach situations. In previous years, there have been many such cases. things.

The liveliness of the Pearl Feast was comparable to a festive season, and the wives and ladies in the mansion on weekdays also dispatched one after another, and of course those in Duke Dingguo's mansion were not left behind.Whether it's the first, second, third, or concubine, they are all well-dressed, and they look like a place for a blind date.Not to mention, there are really young ladies who are right.Gao Luoshen was dressed in a blue long gown, holding a gold-sprinkled folding fan in his hand, and seemed to be an elegant and elegant scholar.It's just that she didn't move anything on her face, anyone who knew her would be able to break through her disguise at a glance.

Gao Luoshen originally wanted to go there by himself, but how did he know that many female family members of the Gao family were interested in this occasion, so Gao Jun asked everyone to go together, and Gao Luoshen and Gao Chun were arranged in a carriage.The sound of crackling firecrackers on the street was non-stop, as if a nobleman was welcoming a relative, Gao Luoshen nestled lazily in the carriage, glancing at Gao Chun from time to time while he was reading a book.It's only one street away, and I don't know what it's like to pretend to be holding a book, Gao Luoshen muttered secretly, but he couldn't control his eyes that kept drifting towards Gao Chun.

The ladies of this dynasty liked to compose essays, and often held a volume of ancient poems and essays to study. In Gao Luoshen's eyes, Gao Chun also did the same.Some daring person in front of him dared to gallop his horse in the street, the coachman suddenly stopped, and the carriage suddenly shook.Gao Luoshen's mind was on Gao Chun's body, unable to stabilize her figure for a while, she slammed into Gao Chun's body, it was just this collision, she saw the book in Gao Chun's hand clearly, but the poems There are, but they are obviously boring sentences used to add literary grace in the script.Even someone like Gao Chun, who doesn't eat human fireworks, would be interested in dialogue?Gao Luoshen aroused a trace of curiosity, she endured it for a while, and finally said: "What book are you reading?"

Gao Chun closed the book, glanced at God Gao Luo lightly, and said softly, "The White-headed Wife."

"What is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" After transmigrating to the world in the book, he lost all modern high-tech items, and could only pass the time by reading scripts.For several months, all the scripts on the market have been searched, but they have never heard of "The White-headed Wife".She asked, "Is it new?"

"No." Gao Chun shook his head, and said slowly, "It's from the ancients, but it's just an isolated copy, and it's no longer circulated in the market."

"That's it." Gao Luoshen sighed, she couldn't lower her head and asked Gao Chun to borrow a book, but she only asked second best, "What is it about?" If it is really interesting, then she will find a way to make it Order food in exchange, so no one loses.

"Let's talk about a daughter of the Xiangfu, she is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, and was called a 'literary scholar' by the great scholars at that time, but—" Gao Chun suddenly paused.

"Just what?" Gao Luoshen hated this kind of trickery, she tugged at Gao Chun's sleeves, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Seeing Gao Luoshen's anxious expression, Gao Chun stopped holding her appetite, and continued: "She admires a certain handsome prince. Originally, the prince was drafted, and Xiangguo didn't want his only daughter to enter the noble compound. , He asked the emperor for a decree, how did the Prime Minister know that the young lady has already given it to the prince in private."

"Oh." Gao Luoshen responded lightly. She didn't know whether Gao Chun's speech was boring or the plot didn't attract her.

No matter how much Gao Chun had to say, she was choked by Gao Luoshen's appearance, she frowned, finally sighed secretly, and shut up.

The carriage stopped in front of Chu Palace.

Before getting out of the car, Gao Chun suddenly grabbed Gao Luoshen's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to know how it ends?"

Gao Luoshen shook his head and said frankly: "I don't want to know." As he spoke, regardless of Gao Chun's expression, he broke away from her hand and walked quickly ahead.

Gao Chun: "..." Seeing Gao Luoshen's figure leaving quickly, Gao Chun was really upset by being blocked by her.The little girl serving behind also caught up. When Shuanghua saw her young lady's aggrieved and silent appearance, she immediately thought that she was being bullied by God Gao Luo. It happened that Fangze was walking hurriedly with her skirt up, and she glared angrily. Fangze took a look and muttered, "Little Hoof, you are the most proud."

Hearing Shuanghua's words, Fangze smiled at Shuanghua with an innocent and ignorant face.

"Miss, it's better for us to stay away from Jinghong Courtyard, they are not normal." Shuanghua whispered.

Gao Chun frowned and stretched, she didn't say anything, just stood aside and waited for the other sisters to come.

In the back garden of Prince Chu's Mansion, there is a huge open space, on which eight temporary stoves have been set up, distributed in the shape of eight trigrams.Fresh, non-toxic ingredients are placed on each stove.In the pearl feast a long time ago, all the ingredients were purchased uniformly, but later the emperor said that purchasing ingredients is also a skill, so he let them do it by themselves.

When Gao Luoshen arrived, Gao Luochuan was talking to the prince of Chu.

Yin Chunming patted Gao Luochuan's shoulder, and asked curiously: "I heard that the ingredients for Fengyue Tower and Lanting Pavilion are all from your Duke Ding's mansion? When did Duke Ding do these things?"

Gao Luochuan has a good relationship with Yin Chunming, and he wasn't angry when he said that, he just smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, he doesn't belong to Duke Ding's mansion, my father gave Zhuangzi to my second sister, and it's her who manipulated him. It has no direct relationship with the Duke's Mansion."

"Second Miss?" Yin Chunming raised his eyebrows in surprise. He naturally knew what kind of reputation Gao Luoshen had. After a while, he patted Gao Luochuan on the shoulder and said heavily, "Thank you." People, I'm afraid no one would dare to ask for marriage.

Gao Luoshen listened to Gao Luochuan's words, and regarded Luoshen Villa as her own, so she snorted and turned her head away.Go directly to the resting place of the Lanting Pavilion.In the end it was related to the reputation of Lanting Pavilion, Zhao Lanxi was pale and paced back and forth, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.King Chu has also been to Lanting Pavilion, but he never left any comments.He heard that the king of Chu in the past liked to comment on dishes the most.

"Boss Zhao, what is he in a hurry for?"

Zhao Lanxi turned around and saw a pretty "Young Master" standing in front of her. She swallowed the words "Miss Gao", cupped her hands, and changed her name to "Young Master."

"The chefs of the two companies are on the same level." Gao Luoshen said slowly, "The ingredients are all from my villa, so naturally there is no big difference, but Boss Zhao, you have my specially prepared recipe here, so don't give it to me. Disgraceful."

Zhao Lanxi's face flushed, and he cupped his hands again and said, "It's natural." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the tension in his heart faded a little.Seeing that there were more and more people, he didn't dare to greet Gao Luoshen more.His circle of friends is not as bright as that of Qi's family Shaodong. Compared with Qi Wei who is active in the crowd, he just chats with a few people.

Seeing a bunch of men huddled together, God Gao Luo showed a somewhat bored expression.When she turned her head, Gao Chun appeared out of nowhere, and said with a cold face, "That person is dead."

"what?"

Gao Chun glanced at Gao Luoshen, and said with a straight face: "The lady Xiangfu who tried to marry into the palace was finally abandoned by the prince who swore to her forever. The prince left and right his beautiful wife and concubine, and Miss Xiangguo committed suicide in the end." After finishing speaking, Gao Chun snorted, turned and left.

"..." Gao Luoshen was left looking at her back blankly, not knowing what to say.Baba hurried over, just to say this?What's wrong with Gao Chun!
