Xue Lince accepted it frankly, and joked: "It just so happens that my wife has opened a new restaurant, so why don't you go and try something new if you appreciate me?"

"Siblings open restaurants by themselves? That's rare," Bai Changlin let out a series of hearty laughter, "then why not go?"

Xue Lince also laughed, and immediately defended his wife, "Although my wife is a daughter of a thousand gold, she is not the girl whose ten fingers are not touched by the spring water. Earlier, when the flower pickers in Yuedong disturbed people's panic, she He supported the largest pastry shop in the city by himself."

"Siblings are worthy of being Miss Tang's family," Bai Changlin laughed again, and then couldn't help urging, "Let's go quickly, if it's late, there will be no seats in the restaurant."

Jing Shan and Xue Lince walked side by side, and they couldn't relax at all when they heard Bai Xue's leisurely gossip. Instead, their brows became more and more tight, and they felt like a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, and they kept churning with ominous feelings.

Xue Lince noticed his strangeness, and asked casually, "Why is brother so distressed?"

He sighed softly, his eyebrows twitched, "It's all about today's court affairs."

Bai Changlin was heartless, and even chuckled, "What's the trouble? It's a good thing for Brother Xue to be a Marquis, and Mr. Jing should be happy."

"Having said that," Jing Shan lowered her voice subconsciously, "But everyone knows about the conflict between the regent and Xue's family. I thought he would refute Lin Ce's appointment as Marquis, but unexpectedly, it was just a matter of name. dissatisfied."

Bai Changlin suppressed his smile and thought for a moment, "Could it be that brother Xue's military exploits are too outstanding, and the civil and military affairs of the whole court are obvious to all. If it is not sealed, it will be unreasonable?"

There was a moment of silence among the three, and the joyful atmosphere just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xue Lince and Jing Shan looked at each other, exchanging a complex and dignified expression, with a smile in their deep eyes.

After thinking about it left and right, he couldn't figure out why, so Bai Changlin simply put the matter on hold.

"That's all." He waved his hand easily, "If you can't figure it out, then just wait and see what happens. The old saying goes that nothing can shake a man who eats food, so let's go quickly."

As he spoke, he raised his wide sleeves and walked to the front, beckoning Xue and Jing to follow quickly.

The three of them left the palace, and Xue Lince skillfully led the two elder brothers to the newly opened restaurant of the Tang family.

The decoration of the restaurant is elegant, the air is full of the aroma of food and fine wine, and the smell of fireworks from time to time is like an invisible warm current, which quickly soothes the restless heart.

Xiaoer came up with a white kerchief, bowed his waist and enthusiastically asked how many people had food.

"Fry all the signature dishes, serve a bowl of old soup, and warm three pots of daughter red."

Xue Lince ordered the dishes skillfully, and the waiter put the white handkerchief on his shoulders, and replied in a drawn-out tone: "Okay! The master sits down for a while, and the dishes will be ready soon."

After saying that, he went downstairs "thump thump thump".

Warm wine came up first, Xue Lince had just removed the red cloth from the mouth of the altar, when he suddenly heard familiar footsteps behind him, the three of them turned their heads together, only to see Shen Zihui coming step by step.

After not seeing him for a long time, he has added a calm and calm aura.

"Master, Lord Xue, Lord Jing." Seeing the three of them, his face was filled with heat, he saluted respectfully, and then smiled again, "Master Xue is really powerful. Our generation should see the virtuous and think of Qi."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it," Xue Lince said modestly, but there was a smile on his face unconsciously, "Since you're here, have a drink with us and sit down quickly."

As he spoke, he made a special seat for him.

Shen Zihui learned Bai Changlin's wisecracking skills thoroughly, and joked as he sat down: "That's exactly what I mean, even if my brother doesn't let me sit at the same table, even if it's a happy event today, I won't leave."

Before the words fell, the other three laughed heartily, and the air filled with the aroma of wine was quickly filled with a layer of joy.

This lunch was enjoyable, because it was daytime, Xue Lince didn't dare to drink too much, and returned to the mansion when he was slightly tipsy.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw Tang Luoyu and Ke Ran squeezing their heads together to read something. When he got closer, he saw that they were reading a letter.

"You are back, Lin Lang sent a letter."

With a smile on his face, Tang Luoyu greeted him simply. The way the two got along had already become an old couple, so they didn't have too much lingering.

"Lin Lang?"

Xue Lince was not surprised. Now that he returned to the center to be an official, the prefect of Yuedong naturally couldn't do it. He was too busy these days, and he almost forgot the few people stationed in Yuedong.

"Lu Nan took the place of magistrate, Lin Lang took office together with him, and even Zhi became a teacher." Tang Luoyu unfolded the folded letter paper in front of him, "It's a good thing."

Xue Lince quickly browsed through the letter paper, nodded frequently, "I'm relieved to leave the matter to them."

After all, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and slapped his forehead, "The method of making gunpowder that was used to resist the rebels in Yuedong last time has not been handed over to the emperor."

Ke Ran blinked her eyes twice, "Gunpowder is used to set off fireworks in the palace, I'm afraid it's not necessary?"

"You can't say that," Xue Lince took out a folded piece of rice paper from his sleeve, "I wrote all the recipes on this paper, gunpowder is very useful, if it is only used for fireworks, it would be overkill .”

Tang Luoyu and Ke Ran looked at each other, and then reached out to hold Xue Lince's wrist, "In this case, there is no need to delay, I will enter the palace with you, and tell the emperor quickly."

Both of them are activists, and they will do what they say. Xue Lince went to the palace non-stop as soon as he came back from the street.

The little emperor is still young, but he is very resourceful. He has long heard that Xue Lince used black gunpowder to turn the tide when he went south to quell the chaos.

"This is the black powder that is enough to break the city gate?"

The little emperor held the small piece of paper, feeling incredible.

"Exactly," Xue Lince bowed, "It's just that whether the gunpowder is strong or not depends on the weight. The palace is an important place for the royal family. The emperor must not test it in the palace."

"Of course I know this." The little emperor carefully put the piece of paper with the recipe in his arms, "Xue Aiqing is worthy of being a minister of my court, and she should be rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness," Xue Lince saluted again, "However, this humble official has been promoted to the third rank, and this black powder should have been presented to the Emperor, so there is no need for the Emperor to reward him for it."

Seeing Xue Lince's humility and integrity, the little emperor's eyes warmed up, and a warm current rose from his heart, and he sighed: "It is a blessing for the country and the people to have a courtier like Xue Aiqing in my dynasty."
