He put the things in his hands into his arms, then lowered his head and tried to walk back as unobtrusively as possible. Maybe because he was so absorbed in thinking about things, he didn't even notice that Mu Mu followed him all the way back to the palace.
Lin Chong was sitting in the imperial study room reviewing memorials, but after a few reviews he began to lose focus. Ever since Wen Shaoxue came to see him, the idea of opening a hot pot restaurant in Nanjing was deeply rooted in his mind.
It has taken root and sprouted. Jonathan is right, no matter what idea Zheng Chenggong is planning, as long as he has the financial strength, there is nothing to be afraid of.
At worst, he would just take the money and run away, and a dignified emperor wouldn't chase after a nobody like him to the ends of the world, right?
When there was movement at the door, he reflexively said "Come in". When the little eunuch saw that it was Manager Wang, he naturally didn't dare to stop him. After bowing, he let the people in and helped them thoughtfully.
Closed the door.
Lin Chong glanced at the absent-minded Wang Chengen: "Manager Wang, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong?"
Wang Chengen walked up to Lin Chong with a bowl of poria paste just made in the imperial kitchen. He gently put the bowl on the table: "I've told you so many times, don't tire yourself out when correcting memorials.
, this memorial will never be finished."
Lin Chong rubbed his nose and smiled: "Actually, I'm not too tired. I was still lazy before you came in. I just approved a few copies."
He pointed to the chair next to him: "Is there anything you want to tell me recently? Don't be anxious, you can sit down and talk slowly."
Wang Chengen neither sat down nor answered his question, but pushed the bowl forward: "Eat it while it's hot. I remember you don't like it even more when it's cold."
Lin Chong pulled the bowl toward him with a frown, glanced at the contents and frowned even more: "I don't like eating this, it feels like eating expired soap."
"Soap?"
"It's just soap locust paste. Oh, I don't want to eat it anyway. You can take it away quickly. If you want to eat it, you can eat it yourself." Lin Chong pushed the bowl to Wang Chengen with a look of disgust.
"Eating more of this is good for your health. You are just too picky about food every day." Wang Chengen shook his head.
So Lin Chong pulled the bowl back under his eager eyes. He gently pulled the edge of the bowl with his hands, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "I remember every time I changed the performance until midnight, you
They would secretly bring me some food, sometimes it's small pastries, sometimes it's hot soup, but to be honest, the things you make really don't taste that good."
Wang Chengen was quite touched at first, but he didn’t expect that this kid would remember how good he was to him! The last sentence made him blush: “It’s good to do it for you, there are so many things to do!”
Lin Chong held back his smile and said seriously: "Maybe I won't have the chance to eat the things you made by yourself in the future, so although those things are terrible to eat, after all, I was starving at the time, so it actually didn't taste that bad. I'm very
Thank you for taking care of me all the time, from the first day I came here, really."
Just after he finished speaking, he held up the bowl and was about to eat. Wang Chengen seemed to suddenly become very excited. Before Lin Chong's spoon reached his mouth, he rushed up and snatched the bowl and spoon back.
"Huh?" Lin Chong looked a little confused, as if he couldn't understand why Wang Chengen suddenly went crazy.
"This...I suddenly remembered that this is not fresh. That...I'll go get another one and be back soon." After he finished speaking, he held the bowl and ran away in a hurry.
Lin Chong looked at his back and shook his head, sighed softly, and then turned his eyes to a certain corner: "You two, stop hiding, come out quickly, everyone is gone."
Mu Xi and Mu Xi filed out of a very uncomfortable corner. As soon as Mu Mu came out, he rushed to see Lin Chong's condition: "Master, are you okay? Did you really want to eat that thing just now? If it weren't for Mu
Xi dragged me, and I rushed out a long time ago. What if I get poisoned?"
Compared to Mu Xi who was always uncalm, Mu Xi was also always calm: "Master, were you so sure just now that he wouldn't let you eat that bowl of Poria paste?"
Lin Chong shook his head gently: "I thought I was certain before, but it wasn't until I saw him standing here today that I realized that I was actually unsure."
"So you are actually gambling?" Although Mu Xi's tone still sounded as calm as usual, Lin Chong could tell from the tightly pursed corners of his mouth and frowned brows that he was very angry now.
This was strange. It was not strange for Mu Mu to be angry. This was the first time that Mu Xi was angry. He found it quite interesting.
"Actually, it's not a gamble. Since I already know that there is something wrong with the things he brought over, how can I really make fun of my own life?" Lin Chong spread his hands.
"You just want to give him a chance to correct himself, right?" Mu Xi asked softly. In fact, he was surprised that he would be angry because of such a thing, but he did have a desire to be cruel just now.
The urge to scold myself for being such a stupid young man.
"Actually, what I said just now is sincere. I may never have the chance to eat what he made by himself again. Although his cooking is not very good, he really put his heart into it. Besides, you can't ask for something.
The old eunuch makes delicious food, right? That's not his job."
"Don't change the subject. No matter what the situation is next time, don't take such a risk. This time I will stop the wood, but next time I won't. If you make fun of your own life again, let him go directly to you.
Come out, don't care if he will ruin any of your plans?" Mu Xi muttered angrily.
"I heard it. I don't dare to do it anymore, okay? In fact, if he really wants to kill me, there are many opportunities to do it. There is no need to choose poisoning. This is the easiest and easiest way to be discovered.
It's easy to get burned. Not to mention that he went to a drugstore on the street and bought a pack of arsenic. Isn't it obvious that he hoped to be discovered by others?" Lin Chong analyzed it for them. Even if Wang Chengen really wanted to kill him, then
He was also prepared to risk one life for another.
Once something happens to Lin Chong, Mu Xi and Qing'er will definitely not give up so easily. It will be easy to find him. He is not a fool, so he is naturally ready to atone for his sins.
