It was April now, the sun set, the capital was full of water, the wind was wet at night, and there was always a sensation of moisture. It would always blow on people and seep into the bones, making it so cool that it didn't have any heat on the body.

Gu Xiang also shrank his neck and took the cloak from Xueying and put it on.

Miao Laoliu stood up silently from the ground. Constable Zhang and the two yamen runners took a step forward without realizing it, looking alert. Miao Laoliu shook his head: "Don't worry, I will never escape."

He rubbed his face and suddenly smiled, with a little gentleness on his face.

Over the years, his life has been in a mess, and life is worse than death, but in a large area of ​​darkness, it is not all black mud.

He also met some things that made him happy and warm in his heart, and met someone that made him feel distressed.

"That's a good woman. Without me, her life would be better."

Two years ago, Miao Laoliu picked up a woman from the dentist. The woman bought it from Jiangnan. She was sick all the way and was already sick when she arrived in the capital. When the dentist saw this, she was unwilling to spend money to treat her, so she threw the person out.

Miao Laoliu had long lost his kind heart at that time. He only saw that the woman was slender and looked a little like his wife. He felt a little compassion, so he found a place for the woman and asked a doctor to treat her.

At first, Miao Laoliu did a good job that day and accumulated virtue for his wife and daughter. However, this woman was sold by her parents in Jiangnan and had no place to go, so she saved her. Miao Laoliu could not let her die, so she helped settle down and gave her a few taels of silver to settle the house so that the woman could do some embroidery and make a living.

"She gave herself a new name, Juansu. I said there was a natural sadness in this name, but she liked it, so she called it that way. Juansu is a good woman. She has been doing laundry and cooking for me in the past two years and tidying up the house. Not only is she not a name, but she didn't even give her some warmth."

Miao Laoliu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Like my wife, she is a woman with strong resilience. She can catch her as long as she gives her some way to live, and she doesn't have to worry about her very much."

Constable Zhang was anxious about the matter of Prince Liu's family. At this time, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. He could only say coldly with a stern face: "Your sin is probably going to be exiled. If she is willing to follow you, she can live even if she is exiled."

Miao Lao Liu was speechless for a moment.

Xueying lowered her head and whispered: "He has no intention of seeking death."

After a pause, Xueying chuckled: "Things to seek death are like this, but more people are declining and exhausted. No matter how much sadness is hidden in their hearts, it is better to live than to die."

"And, time is the best medicine."

Miao Laoliu loves his wife and daughter deeply, but after so long, he has fallen in love with another woman. Those hurdles that he may think he will never be able to overcome will actually pass sooner or later.

Gu Xiang: "...Anyway, it's good that my 'Thank you banquet' is safe."

She didn't want to remember her to death, but she was still at her thank-you banquet.

“Speaking of it…”

Gu Xiang looked up at the sky and said in surprise, "Where is Xie Chu and the others?"

Since yesterday, Xie Shang and Xie Bin have to visit Gu Ji from time to time. Gu Xiang has been preparing new dishes, but they don’t care about them. After Qiu Li and his friends said, Xie Shang is almost growing in their garden like a mushroom, and can’t eat staple foods such as buns, wontons, hand-catch cakes, scallion pancakes, etc., and with Gu Ji’s absolute signature pickled shredded radish and meat sauce, pickled fish can also satisfy them.

Since the morning, Gu Xiang has seen Xie Shang twice and Xie Bin three times. She has been staying in the kitchen and has only gone out a few times. It can be seen how much the two chefs of the Xie family are looking forward to the "Thank You Banquet".

But now the sunset has set and the thank-you banquet is coming to an end. It is very strange that Xie Chu is not seen.

Gu Huan

There are several well-known chefs in the capital, but at this time everyone was immersed in the fresh fragrance of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". They were frightened by Miao Laoliu and were so excited that no one paid attention to Xie Chu's whereabouts.

In fact, Xie Chu hasn't liked to attend such banquets for two years.

He has a wealth and a high status. Even several imperial chefs in the palace want to call him senior brothers, and he has been an apprentice with him for two years. Naturally, he didn't want to socialize, so he didn't want to socialize, and no one could choose his courtesy.

Gu Xiang was just surprised and didn't care much. He came back to his senses and found a place to sit down while drinking tea while waiting for the result of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Before he finished a cup of tea, two yamen runners came over panting and reported the message: "Zhang Touer, I found it... the young prince has been sent to the clinic. The doctor said that he is very weak, but his life is not in trouble."

Constable Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back at Miao Laoliu, who had a very complicated expression on his face, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, but just pulled the person up and handed it away to his subordinates. He turned around and said to Gu Xiang: "I'm sorry, Gu Chu, has disturbed your good banquet."

Gu Xiang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I've provided me with a good test piece."

Gu Xiang is also a beginner in cooking with such a somewhat mysterious way of cooking.

"You really need to grasp the degree of such a dish."

If you can't grasp the degree well, Gu Xiang is really worried that the food that you make to earn food orders will be transformed into a murderous dish, which will be lively.

"Killing celebrity chef?"

Gu Xiang shivered and tickled. She didn't like such a nickname at all. It was worse than killing a famous doctor.

The thank-you banquet is over.

Although the diners were still a little unsatisfied, they were quite satisfied. Even Zhao Han couldn't help but touch his belly with a satisfied look on his face.

Gu Xiang personally sent Constable Zhang and diners out. When he walked to the door, Constable Zhang hesitated and turned around and whispered: "Cheer Gu, the case where Xue Gui replaced Xue Shan, and the case of the thief Ning Yufei, there seems to be hidden inside. Now the case is the responsibility of Zhang Sheren and Master Di. I heard that a few days ago, Ning Yufei almost killed someone in Dali Temple to silence him."

Constable Zhang exhaled: "After all, chef Gu is... Be careful."

Gu Xiang chuckled and blinked: "Okay."

As he was talking, Xueying suddenly looked up and saw that the sky on the east was red. The diners were also scared. The slightly drunkenness swept away, and they all looked up and looked up.

I saw thick smoke rolling in the air in the east.

"Oh, the direction of my house."

Many diners living in the east rushed out and ran all the way.

Constable Zhang was even more disgusted and sent two subordinates to escort Miao Laoliu, so he rushed over with the others.

Gu Xiang also frowned. Just as hesitated, he saw Zhao Han and other diners rushing out.

There are many diners who don’t like to meddle in other people’s business on weekdays, but the emotions that have been washed in the chest have not yet subsided, and they are all passionate.
