If the emperor is a profession, his nature is actually similar to that of a modern workplace boss.

Private companies are responsible for their own profits and losses. The boss is diligent in the early stage of starting a business. Later, the company grew stronger and stronger, and the money he made became more and more money. The boss became lazy and always felt that he would open his eyes and lose his people. The money was cheaper and he was so happy. So he took advantage of the profit of the company to enjoy his life. Therefore, the boss decided to set up a board of directors and hire a professional manager to manage the company. He only needed to seize the personnel rights of the company.

The old chairman retreated behind the scenes, and the professional manager helped him handle his daily work. The once conscientious boss gradually became a symbolic existence in the company. Not only that, the boss also bought vacation villas in various places, and took his little wife, who was dozens of years younger than him, to go out for a long holiday and take a hot spring bath every year...

Just as all big business owners develop unique greasy hobbies after success, such as panshop, fishing, and buying teams, this big boss’s unique hobbies are more elegant. He plays art and also composes "The Song of the Nichi Shangs and Feathers"...

This is probably the case for the winners in life.

However, the boss took his little wife out for vacation and had to bring Gu Qing, a young employee, with him. This made Gu Qing a little confused. The old couple soaked in the hot spring in Huaqing Pool to show their love, and feed Gu Qing, a single dog for two lifetimes?

Gu Qing couldn't help but use the worst malice to guess Li Longji's intentions.

"What are you thinking about random things?" Zhang Jiuzhang woke Gu Qing up with a word: "It is the honor of your ministers to order your followers. This time, Your Majesty visited Huaqing Palace and only ordered your name alone. Although it was invited by the Imperial Concubine, Your Majesty obviously valued you very much. This time, you should show off your followers to Huaqing Palace, listen more and read less, and don't make mistakes."

Gu Qing sighed: "I am a serious injury and just recovered, and I am just a Left Guard Chief. What can I do when I go to Huaqing Palace with me?"

Zhang Jiuzhang pointed at him and smiled bitterly: "The four words 'Jane' are in the Emperor' are difficult for many court officials to achieve in their entire lives. You are still not happy when you are young? You are simply wasting a great opportunity."

Gu Qing smiled, but no explanation.

Having had several dealings with Li Longji, Gu Qing gradually realized Li Longji's character.

The so-called "simple in the heart of the emperor" is an excuse for the unsuccessful people to comfort themselves. With Li Longji's personality, I'm afraid that he will not trust any minister too much. Even if he can remember you, you are just a piece of chess in his hand that is about to make a move. Whether you use you or not, he has his own considerations. The piece is just a piece after all, and it is not worthy of complacent that the person holding the chess puts it on any position on the chessboard.

Seeing that Gu Qing was silent, Zhang Jiuzhang stroked his beard and changed the topic.

"The story of the Three Kingdoms you and Huai Jin is quite interesting. Huai Jin has recorded all the stories you told. I am fortunate to see that Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande were cooking wine to discuss heroes. I have to say that your talent was beyond my expectations again and again. Last night, I read the "Three Kingdoms" written by Chen Shou again and compared your story of the Three Kingdoms. Although the stories you told are quite fictional, they are basically in line with the historical facts of the Three Kingdoms. Before you go to Huai Jin for a few more chapters, you can also relieve my greed."

Gu Qing smiled humbly and said, "My nephew made up a random story to coax Huai Jin. Is the second uncle also interested?"

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and said, "It is reasonable and vivid and interesting to make up. It shows that you are talented. In the story you told, the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms are told in a casual manner. The strategies of scholars, the blood and courage of military generals, the cruelty of heroes, and the turmoil in the world are all in the story. Whether the strategy is used by strategists or the fierce battles of military generals, they are fascinating everywhere, which makes people unable to explain the volume..."

Gu Qing was speechless. Unexpectedly, someone urged him to make an update in the Tang Dynasty, and the one who urged him to make an update was one of the nine ministers in the court.

By the way, do you want to charge Zhang Jiuzhang? It doesn’t cost money, just give it to the meat.

"Tell this story well. I think the story you told is not simple. In contrast, Chen Shou's "The Three Kingdoms" is much thinner. In the story you tell, the tricks of those strategists are quite considerable. I have asked Huai Jin to collect manuscripts. In the future, I personally polish it and engrave it into a book. Your name should shake the world again."

…………

Gu Qing honestly recovered from Zhang Jiuzhang's mansion.

A few days later, Gu Qing's injuries were basically healed. His back was a flesh-like wound, so healing it. The serious one was the stabbing of the thigh. Gu Qing had no experience in stabbing himself. The stabbing of the thigh was not controlled properly. It was obviously a bit deeper. Not only was it painful, but it was also very troublesome to treat it.

On the eighth day, Gu Qing was able to barely limp down the ground with the help of Zhang Huaijin.

It was also on this day that Gu Qing finally ate Xin Xinannian’s roast lamb legs.

Gu Qing is very particular about eating and will never let himself down. After learning that he could eat meat, Gu Qing rushed to the kitchen immediately and stared at the chef roasted lamb legs of the Zhang family.

Under Gu Qing's gaze, the chef of the Zhang family was very nervous and his skills seemed a little abnormal. Gu Qing was sharp-eyed and found that several of the preparations for roasting lamb legs were missed by the chef.

Gu Qing was immediately unhappy. How could the first meal of meat in many days be ruined by the chef?

"Get out of here, I'll do it!" Gu Qing pushed the chef aside without hesitation and started the operation himself.

"The meat should be marinated with salt and spices in advance, and a few cuts should be made along the texture of the meat to facilitate the salt and spices to taste..." Gu Qing said while operating, gently stroked a white lamb leg that had been peeled, with his eyes as affectionate as looking at a lover who had been in love for many years.

The chef was chilled by Gu Qing's affectionate gaze, and then he couldn't help but reflect on his mistakes. Could it be that because he lacked the enthusiasm of treating food like a lover, his cooking skills could not break through the bottleneck and could not make progress for a long time?

But... Isn't it a bit perverted to be too affectionate to a piece of white flesh?

"...Next, sprinkle some wine on the lamb leg and seal it for half an hour. This way, after baking, it can remove the smell of mutton and make the meat more fragrant and tender."

Zhang Huaijin held Gu Qing's arm and stared at Gu Qing's side face with curiosity. The more he looked, the more he became happier he felt.

Although Brother Gu is not very festive, his side face is still very handsome, especially when he is focused on doing things, he looks more charming.

But...why is it that he likes sister, not her?

Zhang Huaijin was extremely distressed. She suddenly felt that she had grown up and had feelings that only adults could have.

"Brother Gu, you went back to Qingcheng County to meet with Sister, how are you okay?" Zhang Huaijin asked with a blink of an eye.

Gu Qing's attention was completely on the lamb legs and said absent-mindedly: "It's good that your sister is still white and tender, but unfortunately it's not pickled and tastes good. It's perfect if you sprinkle some spices..."

"What did Brother Gu say?" Zhang Huaijin stamped his feet and said angrily: "I'm asking about Sister, not the leg of lamb."

Gu Qing reluctantly came back to his senses: "Am I wrong? Your sister is as white and tender as lamb legs."

"No!" Zhang Huaijin stomped her feet again in dissatisfaction. Seeing the chef beside her, she looked gossipy with her ears on her face. Zhang Huaijin kicked the chef and drove him out of the kitchen.

"What I asked is, is there something happened to you and Sister? I always feel that when you come back to Chang'an, your expression is different from before when you mention Sister."

Speaking of the sad things, Gu Qing suddenly felt that the lamb legs in front of him were no longer fragrant. He sighed quietly: "I asked your sister for a marriage, but the scene was so ruthless that your sister refused. Sister Huai Jin, I tell you that your sister may not be normal. A normal woman cannot refuse a talent like me. For example, if I asked you for marriage now, would you agree to marry me?"

When Zhang Huaijin heard Gu Qing’s proposal to marry her sister, her heart suddenly became sank. Then she heard that her sister rejected Gu Qing. Although it was a sad thing, she was secretly happy for some reason. Finally, when she heard Gu Qing’s proposal to her, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her pretty face turned red like a ripe peach.

"I, I... will agree." Zhang Huaijin lowered his head and whispered. After saying that, he turned around shyly, covered his face with both hands, and stomped his feet on the spot.

But Gu Qing saw her shyness as nothing, and pulled the corner of her mouth: "Ha, you think beautifully."

Zhang Huaijin's shy expression suddenly froze like he was hit by frozen magic.

Gu Qing spread his hands and said, "Look, how could a normal woman refuse a talent like me? For example, you behave normally, but your sister actually rejects me. How terrifying do you say that her aesthetic has been distorted to a point? In another thousand years, your sister is a mental illness and will be cured!"

Zhang Huaijin's heart was filled with all kinds of emotions.

I want to cry, get angry, and I want to beat someone up...

Gu Qing didn't notice her lost expression. Gu Qing had long noticed Zhang Huaijin's thoughts, but he didn't take it to heart. In his heart, Zhang Huaijin was just a little girl, and how could she understand adult love? The little girl's love is blind, impulsive and changeable. As an adult who has lived for two lifetimes, how could Gu Qing take the little girl's youthful love seriously?

In terms of relationships, Gu Qing was so slow that he was tired enough to keep Zhang Huaijin in his heart.

Gu Qing patted Zhang Huaijin on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Your sister is sick. You have to help me persuade her. If you have time, write a letter to me in your tone. I advise her to accept me quickly and not to be pretentious anymore. By the way, I will give you a poem for free. This poem is also written in the letter, 'The flowers are enough to be broken, so don't wait for no flowers to break branches.' You advise my sister to quickly break my delicate flower, so that it will change soon, and it will make others lose money."

Zhang Huaijin was so angry that she turned her back to him, and said in a cold tone: "Why should I help you?"

Gu Qing pushed her and said angrily: "Don't make a fuss! You are my future sister-in-law. Who will help me if you don't help me? Be obedient, I'll write tonight."

Zhang Huaijin was secretly angry and her eyes were red. She forced herself to not cry.

After entrusting the lifelong major events, Gu Qing felt more relaxed, and his attention returned to the lamb leg, and the more he looked, the more he felt more fragrant.

"Do you eat roasted lamb legs? I will leave the tenderest piece for you when it is baked later." Gu Qing said while pickling the lamb legs.

Zhang Huaijin still turned his back to him without saying a word, tears were already spinning in his eyes.

Gu Qing raised his tone dissatisfiedly: "What do you want to ask you? If you don't eat it, I will eat it all by myself. Don't greed for me."

The sad Zhang Huaijin subconsciously blurted out when he heard this: "Eat!"

After saying that, Zhang Huaijin was stunned, and his sad thoughts were very confused, so he had to secretly hate his incompetence.

Gu Qing didn't know that Zhang Huaijin's mental journey was so complicated that he could write a novel of 200,000 words. The passionate love, hate and affection in this novel ended up surrendering to food, such a backbone-free plot...

"If you want to eat roasted lamb legs, you have to make some contribution. Go to your ice cellar and steal some iced grape wine. Don't be discovered by your second ancestor, otherwise we will both be punished."

"Okay, okay!"

Zhang Huaijin happily agreed, intending to jump out of the kitchen, but after his expression was stunned, Zhang Huaijin was shocked to realize that shouldn't his mood be sad and sad by love?

Suddenly I felt disgusted with myself. Life is so depressed and depressed...

Looking at Zhang Huaijin's departure back, Gu Qing tugged slightly.

Without suffering and without storms, how can love be unforgettable?

Zhang Huaijin doesn't understand this principle.

The charcoal fire was set up in the yard outside the kitchen, and the stove was burning red. Gu Qing carefully and cautiously flipped the lamb legs. After the white and tender lamb legs were roasted by the charcoal fire, oil dripped down. Gradually, both sides were golden yellow, and the yard emitted a strong aroma of meat, which attracted the people of the Zhang family to peep in the distance.

Zhang Huaijinxin stared absent-mindedly at the legs of lamb flipped on the charcoal fire, holding her cheeks with both hands, her eyes were empty, and her soul was unknown where to float.

"'The flowers are so blooming that they must be broken, so don't wait for the flowers to break branches in vain'..." Zhang Huaijin murmured and said quietly: "Brother Gu is really talented. He just said something like a good sentence... That's right, Brother Gu is so talented, a normal woman will not reject him. Alas, how could Sister..."

Suddenly, Zhang Huaijin slapped her thighs suddenly, and a crisp sound was slapping, and her strength was not controlled. Zhang Huaijin yelled, and her eyes were filled with tears of pain, and her mouth became aggrieved.

Gu Qing was startled, and the lamb leg in his hand almost fell to the ground and ruined it. He looked at her in a daze, pointed at her with fierce eyes: "Warning you for the first time, if you dare to scare me again, you will definitely kill me."

Zhang Huaijin wiped his tears, then raised his small breasts that were not very plump, stared at Gu Qing with a serious expression and said, "Brother Gu, I have decided!"

“What to decide?”

"I decided... to defeat my sister!" Zhang Huaijin's expression was filled with sacred glory when she said this, as serious as a fierce soldier who sharpened his sword before the war.

Gu Qing was stunned, glanced at her quickly, and immediately returned to the lamb leg, and said lightly: "It's not that I look down on you, you may not be able to beat your sister, but we can't beat you even if we join forces."

"Oh, it's not the kind of 'beat' you said!"

"You can't do either bare hands or weapons." Gu Qing made another blow without hesitation.

"No!" Zhang Huaijin was so angry: "I mean, I want to defeat Sister and take your heart from Sister!"

"So, you still have to fight?"

"It's not the kind of fight you said!"

"Then tell me, how do you fight?"

Zhang Huaijin was stunned, yes, how could he defeat Sister?

Then Zhang Huaijin jumped up in anger: "I don't care! Anyway, I want to defeat my sister! Ahhhhhhh! You are mine!"
