The next day, Mu Gu came over with a wooden box and handed it to Xia Jin.
Xia Jin opened it and saw a total of ten thousand taels of silver notes!
"So much!" Xia Jin was shocked! He knew that his financial sponsor was very generous, but he didn't know that he was already so generous!
"This is a reward from the emperor after the general returned from the last war. The general has no hobbies and has never spent the money. Miss Xia doesn't have to feel burdened, just take it!" Mu Gu said.
Lin Ziyi has made countless military exploits, and he doesn't have much money to spend, so he can only get in and out.
As for the expenses of the general's palace, the old lady, as the royal wife, has a monthly salary, which is used to subsidize the expenses of the palace, which is more than enough.
However, once a war broke out, Lin Ziyi would spend all his money on military supplies. In short, he would either spend nothing or spend everything.
Compared with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars taken from the government after the war, Xia Jin's ten thousand taels is really nothing.
"I have to go back and report to the general and say goodbye!" Mu Gu and Xia Jin said goodbye and left the house.
Before leaving, he thought of something and reminded: "The old lady knows about this. I will probably go back and ask you. Then you can just tell the truth. The old lady is an enlightened person and will not be embarrassed."
your!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
As soon as Mu Gu left, the people from the General's Mansion arrived.
"Miss Xia, please come over, please!"
In the general's mansion, the old lady was sitting on the soft couch in the flower hall, and Mrs. Sun was standing behind her, massaging her cervical spine.
While pressing the button, he said: "Everyone in the General's Mansion has asked, but they still can't find the person who makes noodles for the old lady. Now there is only Miss Xia."
Ever since he ate that bowl of noodles, the old lady wanted to eat another one, but no matter how old Zhou cooked it, it didn't taste right.
Mrs. Sun went to Butler Lin to discuss it and learned from him that Xia Jin had thought about making food for the old lady.
Reminiscent of the fact that the general recovered from anorexia after eating Xia Jin's food, Sun guessed that it was Xia Jin who did it, so she notified someone to call her.
"Old lady, Miss Xia is here." Grandma reported outside the door.
"come in!"
Xia Jin walked in, saluted with her forehead and said: "Old lady, may you be blessed with peace and prosperity."
The old lady looked at Xia Jin carefully, looking left and right. This girl was fair and fair, and she didn't look like a cook at all.
Xia Jin felt terrified when she saw her and asked, "The old lady asked me to come here. What are your orders?"
Xia Jin thought they were looking for her about the 10,000 taels of silver notes given by Lin Ziyi.
After all, this is not a small amount.
"The thing is like this..." Mrs. Sun looked at Xia Jin and said, "The old lady ate that bowl of noodles and thought it was delicious, so she wanted Miss Xia to make another one!"
In fact, Mrs. Sun was not sure that Xia Jin made the noodles, but she tentatively said it.
"Of course!" The old lady wanted to eat noodles, but even if she thought of Lin Ziyi's 10,000 taels of silver notes, she couldn't refuse.
Seeing that Xia Jin agreed, the old lady and Mrs. Sun looked at each other and saw a mixture of surprise, shock and surprise in each other's eyes.
Could it be that it’s really Xia Jin!?
"You can use the kitchen as you like, Miss Xia, go ahead!" Mrs. Sun said, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
Grandma took Xia Jin to the kitchen. Lao Zhou looked at Xia Jin who walked in with a strange expression.
He didn't think that such a young girl could cook anything delicious. He just secretly said that in order to find a noodle maker for the old lady, Mrs. Sun brought everyone to the kitchen, and she felt quite resentful in her heart.
Xia Jin walked into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, pulled off the apron hanging on the wall and tied it around her body, grabbed a handful of flour, beat in eggs and alkaline water, and started kneading the dough.
This movement was done in one go, so smooth that the expression on Lao Zhou's face, who had just despised Xia Jin, froze.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong, but when he saw the dough in Xia Jin's hand slowly stretching, and then letting Xia Jin swing it as if it was alive.
He was totally dumbfounded!
After pulling the noodles and setting them aside, Xia Jin began to cook the broth, adding bitter melon and pork ribs as last time, and adding three flavors of real fire to speed up the simmering.
After a while, pour the cooked soup on the blanched noodles and garnish with vegetables.
A bowl of assorted fresh noodles is ready!
At this moment, the kitchen was filled with fragrance, and Lao Zhou's jaw was so shocked that he forgot to close it!
Xia Jin put the prepared noodles on the tray, picked it up and walked towards the main courtyard.
Not long after, a bowl of noodles was placed in front of the old lady.
The old lady could tell at a glance that it was the same as the night she ate. She picked up the chopsticks with excitement, trembling hands, and an expectant look.
She took a bite and her eyes lit up.
“That’s what it tastes like!”
Then, he ate one bite after another, and soon his face turned rosy.
At the same time, in the military camp.
Seeing Mu Gu coming back, Lin Ziyi raised his eyes and looked at him.
"Did the stuff arrive?"
Mu Gu cupped his hands and replied: "I gave them all to Miss Xia, and she also accepted them!"
Lin Ziyi frowned: "Yeah."
"But..." Mu Gu hesitated. When he took the banknote and left the palace, he overheard the maids in the backyard discussing that the old lady and Mrs. Sun were planning to bring Xia Jin to the general's palace.
He guessed that it was probably because of the money. After thinking about it, it was better to tell the general about it.
Thinking of this, Mu Gu said: "The old lady already knows about the general giving money to Miss Xia, and is calling Miss Xia to ask questions."
Lin Ziyi put down the brush in his hand and asked, "What did you say?"
"When I went out, I happened to see the grandma from the General's Mansion entering the house. I'm afraid Miss Xia is already at the General's Mansion now. If the old lady asks about the money, Miss Xia will probably be in a difficult position..."
"After all, he is an outsider with no status. After receiving so much money, the old lady and Madam Sun may feel unhappy." Mu Gu said worriedly.
Lin Ziyi frowned. His original intention was to help Xia Jin. She believed that Xia Jin had such a talent and should not be buried.
But if his good intentions become a burden to her, she will end up doing bad things with good intentions.
"I'll leave matters in the military camp to you."
He threw the zhezi into the drummer and walked quickly outside the camp.
The picture has already begun in her mind, Xia Jin is kneeling on the ground, the old lady and Sun ask her why she wants the money, and accuse her a lot.
Lin Ziyi didn't dare to delay, so he got on his horse and galloped to the general's mansion. He quickly jumped off the horse and walked all the way to the backyard house.
"Where is the old lady?" He grabbed the servant and asked.
"In the flower hall in the backyard."
He left his servants and hurried towards the flower hall, thinking that nothing would happen. He walked over quickly, opened the door and was stunned for a moment!
I just saw Xia Jin sitting next to the old lady, talking and laughing?
