"You all go down to eat and don't worry about me."
There was a huge expedition to Nanfu. At this time, except for some remaining guards and Zhang Lin, no one was there.
Zhang Lin's parents were in command in Astia, and his eldest and second brothers were leading the army at the front. As for his other younger brothers and sisters, they were more talented than Zhang Lin, and they all received royal education in the imperial capital.
Only he, who was not good at writing or martial arts, stayed in Zhengnan Mansion and studied at the nearby Rongcheng College.
Therefore, he can be said to be the only ‘talker’ in Zhengnan Mansion.
As soon as the other guards heard this, they left and went to have a meal. Only the old housekeeper stayed with Zhang Lin.
"Grandpa Jue, let's sit down and eat together!"
Zhang Lin took the second seat next to the main seat and motioned to the old butler Zhang Jue to sit down as well.
Zhang Jue heard this and sat down at the last table.
This is not the first time the two have dined together.
Speaking of Zhang Jue, his surname is Zhang, a distant relative who has been working in Zhengnan Mansion for three generations.
In terms of seniority, he is the same generation as Grandpa Zhang Lin.
It is a pity that Grandpa Zhang Lin died in the battle against Astia a hundred years ago. Otherwise, with his talent, the Zhang family of Bashu would have at least added another Nascent Soul realm master.
"What is this?" As the meal was being served, Zhang Lin asked the maid on the side, pointing to the main course in the middle of the table.
The maid returned: "Back to my uncle, this is what the eldest young master sent back from Astia. It is said that the water beasts they captured after clearing a lake can strengthen the muscles and bones and activate the blood.
The eldest young master also said that you are now at a critical moment of body refining, so you must not miss out on dietary supplements. There are many strange beasts in the kitchen, and I have asked you to eat one every day."
Zhang Lin said speechlessly: "He is really a brother. He is a king-level supernatural beast with such strong energy and blood. He is one of them today. Isn't he afraid of killing me?"
"Young Master used to do three a day!"
"..."
"Okay, let's all go down!" The old housekeeper told the maids on the side. After they all left, Zhang Juefang smiled and said: "The eldest young master is also kind-hearted. Besides, young master, you have also broken through to the strong inner realm, so you need to supplement these
It’s all there, one piece a day is just enough, it seems that the eldest young master is aware of everything and knows that you have made a breakthrough, young master.”
Zhang Lin said leisurely: "That's true, but the problem now is... I don't eat fish! Brother..." Zhang Lin picked up the food in the soup basin with chopsticks and said hesitantly: "Is it wrong? This is actually the case.
For Fourth Brother and the others?"
"This is not a fish," Zhang Jue explained with a smile: "Master, you see, it just looks like a fish. It is actually called: Yuyan. It is named because it tastes like a wild goose. If you don't believe me, try it. There is no fish at all.
Fishy smell."
"Really?" Zhang Lin heard this, and out of trust, he picked up a piece and tasted it, but there was still a slight fishy smell, but compared to its taste, this fishy smell was not unacceptable.
But after eating a few pieces, Zhang Lin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "No, this is still fish. Grandpa Jue, you can eat it yourself! I'll eat the others."
Hearing this, Zhang Jue smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
After the two of them finished eating, they went their separate ways.
Conquer Nanfu and serve as the back cook.
"Butler!"
"Butler!"
When they came to the kitchen, the servants were all greeted with greetings. Zhang Jue nodded one by one, until the kitchen butler hurriedly came to greet him. Zhang Juefang signaled everyone to go to work and said to the kitchen butler: "Where is the strange beast sent by the eldest young master?"
?”
The head chef heard this and said hurriedly: "Everyone is here, please, housekeeper!"
"Butler, is there a problem?" The head chef carefully accompanied Zhang Jue to inspect the strange beasts sent by brother Zhang Lin. Seeing Zhang Jue's brows furrowing, he couldn't help but ask cautiously.
Zhang Jue said: "Who sent the goods?"
The head chef said: "Old Wu is always the one who delivers the goods. As you know, the eldest butler, he is the eldest young master's personal soldier and cannot make mistakes."
Zhang Jue said: "Who picked up the goods? Who cooked today's meal?"
The kitchen butler recalled: "I personally picked up the goods, but I was busy at the time. After picking them up, I gave them to my attendants for distribution, because there was a batch that needed to be transferred to the Imperial Capital for the fourth young master and the young masters.
For the young master.
As for the cooking, Mr. Chen is not here today, Mr. Chen’s nephew is doing the cooking, but as the big housekeeper, their uncle and nephew have been working in Zhengnan Mansion for more than ten years, is there any problem? "
Zhang Jue said to the air behind him: "Did you hear that? I want to see these people!"
After speaking, he turned to the kitchen butler and said, "Do you still know the person who distributes the goods for you?"
"I know him!" The kitchen butler was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and promised: "Don't worry, chief steward, I will know him even if he turns to ashes."
Zhang Jue said calmly: "Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you! It's just that a few mice get in every year."
Hearing this, the housekeeper in the kitchen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Thank you, housekeeper!"
Zhang Jue nodded and said: "Go and do your work! If someone catches him, he will naturally notify you to come and identify him."
Upon hearing this, the butler in the kitchen quickly bowed and said, "Yes, sir, you are busy. I will resign now!"
"Why don't you let me arrest him?" The kitchen butler walked away, and a hoarse voice sounded next to Zhang Jue's ears, which made people feel goosebumps all over.
Zhang Jue turned around and walked to the backyard, and said leisurely: "Follow him personally. I want to see who is so bold this time. He dared to blatantly sneak into Zhengnan Mansion and replace him without anyone noticing."
There are so many people in the kitchen."
The hoarse voice said with a sinister smile: "How many years? I'm also very curious."
As he spoke, there was no sound.
Zhang Jue reminded: "Remember to visit those people's homes first, but don't alert them."
The hoarse voice rang from Zhang Jue's ear: "There's so much nonsense, I'm more professional than you in these matters!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jue shook his head and smiled, then called the commander of the palace guards and asked him to investigate secretly and investigate the palace guards.
In the study, Zhang Lin didn't know how much trouble the meal caused. He was sitting in the study, holding the talisman paper and slowly started to draw.
After drawing dozens of water-gathering talismans and finding the feel, Fang watched and slowly began to draw the thunder-drawing talisman.
Drawing symbols is not a simple project.
There are only a few runes, but I don't know how difficult it is.
If you want to draw a good talisman paper, you have to go through: selecting materials, drawing, writing, and sealing the talisman.
The first step in material selection is to choose the most suitable material for making talismans. Although most talisman papers are made of cinnabar and yellow paper, many talisman papers also require special materials.
Depending on the materials, there are also different ways to make the talisman.
Talisman paper drawn on cinnabar, disposable item.
Talisman painted on wood, automatic trigger type supplies.
The talismans painted on jade and spiritual objects have a probability of becoming spiritual objects, growth-type magic weapons, and can be recycled many times...
As for description, it is to be familiar with the structure of a symbol, where the stroke is broken, where it is outlined, where the stroke is heavy, and where the stroke is light.
These are very delicate. If you don't handle them well, the drawn symbols will be prone to problems.
At most, the talisman paper will self-ignite and be scrapped, which is fine, but the talisman cards and talisman treasures will easily explode, causing minor injuries and serious injuries.
Therefore, there is a saying: talisman paper is easy to obtain, but talisman treasures are difficult to obtain, because talisman treasures are exchanged for the life of the person who made the talisman.
The next stroke is an extension of the drawing. I begin to practice the drawing of runes on rune paper. From ordinary drawing, I slowly inject my own spiritual power and Qi into the runes.
