Chapter 138
Gu Baiyi also looked at her, picked up the small bowl in front of her, picked some chopsticks for her, and smiled at her: "Taste how it tastes, if it suits your taste."

Shen Jintang thanked him with a smile.

Gu Jingnian and Cui He had also seen how considerate Gu Baiyi was to her in the Peach Blossom Forest in Puji Temple last time, so they were only slightly surprised and it was not surprising.

As for Chi Qinghuai and Pei Yan, it's even more commonplace.

The servants who served Gu Baiyi and them, the sons and elders, also watched their noses and noses with their heads down and their toes, not daring to raise their heads.

At this time, the little eunuch also brought up the altar of peach blossom wine that Gu Baiyi treasured.

This was brought here from the capital on purpose.

The little eunuch opened the jar of peach blossom wine, and the mellow peach blossom wine fragrance spread out.

He poured the altar of peach blossom wine into the jug again.

Then the mouth of the altar was sealed.

Gu Baiyi didn't use him to pour the wine, so he directly picked up the jug and poured a glass into Shen Jintang's wine glass, and smiled at her: "Sister Shen, although this peach blossom wine is not as good as the mulberry wine you made, it is not as good as other wines. In comparison, it can be regarded as a treasure in wine."

After that, he put down the jug and told the servants, "Pour wine for them too."

The servant immediately responded respectfully, picked up the jug, first poured a glass for Gu Baiyi, and then poured it for Gu Jingnian and the others one by one.

Shen Jintang picked up the wine glass and touched it with Gu Baiyi and the others before taking a sip.

Peach blossom wine is not as sweet and sour as mulberry wine, which is more suitable for women, but it is indeed like what Gu Baiyi said, compared with other wines, it is already a treasure among wines.

The entrance is mellow and the aftertaste is long.

"Good wine." Shen Jintang praised, and then put a chopstick of braised shark's fin into his mouth.

The apricot yellow of this dish is bright, the wing meat is soft and rotten, and the taste is mellow and fresh.

Fortunately, it came from the hands of the royal chef in the palace.

"Brother Gu, how long are you going to stay in Yichang County this time?" Shen Jintang looked at him and asked.

The positions of the two are next to each other.

Shen Jintang sat on Gu Baiyi's left.

Gu Baiyi looked back at her, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to do these days, and I may stay here for a while."

After the words fell, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Shen Jintang, and said seriously: "I heard from Shuyue that you once wrote to her about the insecticide powder. Do you know how to make the insecticide powder?"

Shen Jintang did not expect that Gu Baiyi would suddenly ask this question, he was startled, then nodded and said, "Yes. I also gave him the formula including Yin Zhuocheng."

Shen Jintang kept her in mind and deliberately told Yin Zhuocheng about the fake formula.

The reason why she would tell this matter was because she believed in Gu Baiyi and Cui He.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Baiyi was stunned for a while, then shook his head and laughed.

As for Gu Jingnian, Chi Qinghuai and the others, they almost vomited, covering their stomachs and laughing loudly.

"What's Yin Zhuocheng's name? You can't live because you committed evil?"

Cui He answered from the side: "If you do too much unrighteousness, you will die yourself!"

"It's him who binds himself in a cocoon and reaps the consequences."

Seeing them talking in a hurry, Shen Jintang also pursed his lips and gave a faint smile.

"Brother Gu, I'll write you the formula of the insecticide powder later, I'd better trouble you to send someone to present it to the emperor." Shen Jintang said slowly.

It was supposed to be finished today for Shen Mu to write a memorial and present it to the emperor, but she forgot.

But it's okay to write to Gu Baiyi.

Gu Baiyi's dignified grandson would never think of taking this as his own and taking over Shen Mu's political achievements.

Moreover, Shen Jintang has been with him so many times, and he has already firmly believed in his character.

When Gu Baiyi heard the words, he nodded readily and said hello.

After dinner, Gu Baiyi looked at Shen Jintang and asked with a smile, "Are you busy this afternoon? Do you want to learn how to ride a horse?"

Learn to ride a horse?
Shen Jintang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

She has long wanted to learn, but has never had the time and opportunity.

These days, she only sees a doctor in the clinic in the morning, and goes for a walk in the village in the afternoon.

Now there are not many things in Zhuangzi that she needs to worry about.

So Shen Jintang nodded decisively: "Okay."

After saying that, she looked at her clothes, and said hesitantly, "Is my clothes not good?"

Can't learn to ride a horse and change into a neat riding outfit?
Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already prepared two riding outfits for women, you go and try to see if it fits, and change it if it doesn't fit."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman came over and looked at Shen Jintang blessing her body: "Miss Shen, this servant is Xiu Niang, do you want to try riding clothes now?"

Shen Jintang looked at Gu Baiyi in surprise, he actually brought not only the royal chef, but also the embroiderer.

Gu Baiyi smiled at her and said, "Go."

Shen Jintang also nodded to Xiu Niang.

"Miss Shen, please follow me."

Shen Jintang followed Xiuniang through the corridor and into a room.

Xiu Niang pointed to the two sets of riding outfits on the bed and said: "Miss Shen, these two sets were ordered by His Highness to make for you. You can try which one you like first and see if it suits you."

These two suits are crimson, and the cuffs and necklines are edged with gold thread.

One set is moon-white, with dark patterns embroidered with silver thread on the fabric of the clothes.

Shen Jintang glanced at it, then pointed to the moon-white set and said, "That's it."

The embroiderer nodded, and after taking the clothes, she was about to wait for Shen Jintang to put them on.

Shen Jintang waved his hand and said, "I can wear it by myself, please go outside the door and wait for me for a while."

Xiu Niang heard the words, nodded obediently and went out.

Walking out of the door, she was about to turn around to help close the door when she saw Shen Jintang's maidservants coming out.

She looked at Qing Dai and the others in surprise, and asked: "Don't you need to wait for Miss Shen to try on clothes?"

Shen Jintang has never had the habit of letting others wait for her to get dressed.

Qing Dai replied with a smile: "We girls always dress by ourselves."

The embroidered lady nodded when she heard the words.

But I thought in my heart that this Miss Shen not only looks like a fairy in appearance and temperament, but also behaves differently from other girls and noble girls, so it's no wonder His Highness treats her differently.

The riding outfit also comes with a pair of boots and a hat.

The hat is very gorgeous, with many tassels strung together with crystal clear crystals hanging down from the brim of the hat, and on both sides are tassels strung with pearls the size of soybeans, hanging down to the chest.

After Shen Jintang got dressed, he realized that except for the fat around the waist, everything else fit well.

She opened the door and went out.

When Qing Dai and the others saw her, they were amazed, they clenched their fists on their chests and said in amazement: "Girl, you are so beautiful!"

A gleam of surprise flashed in Xiuniang's eyes.

This is the first time she has seen a girl who can wear the riding outfit she made with such a heroic and fairy-like look.

"Miss Shen, is there something that doesn't fit well? This servant will go and change it again."

Shen Jintang shook her head, and the tassels on the hat jingled with her movements, which was very pleasant: "It's just a little bigger around the waist, but it's okay, there's no need to change it."

When Xiu Niang heard this, she also took a look at her waist.

I sighed in my heart, this Miss Shen's waist is really thin.

When His Highness told her the approximate size, she was worried that the waist would be tight if it was too small, but she didn't expect it to be too big.

Since Shen Jintang said that there was no need to change it, the embroidered lady didn't force it.

The group returned to the previous hall.
