Chapter 387

"But... But I have an engagement with King Mu." Chu Siyi bit his lower lip hard, and then summoned up the courage to say a word.

Out of the voice is fine, like a mosquito humming.

There were only two people in the carriage, old lady Chu and Chu Siyi. Therefore, even though Chu Siyi's voice was small, old lady Chu heard it.

Old lady Chu looked down and didn't dare to look at her own Chu thought. She said in a deep voice, "don't mention the engagement in the future."

"For... Why?" Chu Si suddenly raised his head and asked.

Her eyes were more frightened than disappointed or other emotions.

The old lady of Chu caught the wrong mood of Chu Siyi at a glance. Her eyes sank a little, quietly looked at Chu Siyi for a long time, then slowly asked: "do you really want to marry Muwang because you like Muwang?"

Old lady Chu's eyes were very black. It was as if she could see her heart through her skin.

Chu Siyi was flustered and stammered: "hi... Like... I want to marry King Mu..."

"To be honest." The old lady of Chu said calmly. After a night's meditation yesterday, the old lady of Chu actually tasted something. Her granddaughter came back not for the Chu family, but for the marriage with King Mu.

It's not that she didn't realize it before, but that she didn't dare to think in that direction before.

After today's talk with the emperor, she thought a lot along the way.

The emperor has always been a cautious and benevolent emperor, and has always taken care of their Chu family. How could he be so headstrong this time.

The old lady of Chu understood that it was not only because of the emperor's love for Xia Yi, but also because the emperor felt that Chu Siyi's character was not like any of the generals and Madame of Chu, but that the emperor had seen it early.

Chu Siyi was frightened by the tone of old lady Chu. She didn't dare to lie to old lady Chu any more, but she didn't dare to tell the truth. She said mechanically, "if we can marry the royal family, it will help our Chu family. In recent years, the momentum of Chu family is not as good as before, so we need this marriage to consolidate the power of Chu family."

Old lady Chu couldn't help wringing her eyebrows. "Who taught you that? "Second lady?"

After a long silence, Chu Siyi nodded slowly.

"Listen, it's not up to you to consider the rise and fall of the Chu family. Just be your miss of the Chu family. Don't think about something that you don't have."

"But..." Chu Siyi wanted to say something else, but he was interrupted by the coachman outside.

"Here we are, old lady."

Chu Laofu said: "remember what I said, don't go to King Mu any more. The royal family is not so easy to enter."

Then old lady Chu got out of the carriage, leaving Chu Siyi alone in the carriage at a loss.

She didn't know how to face chusco.

Chu si intended to sit in the carriage for a long time, and suddenly heard Chu Sike's voice coming from outside, "is the eldest lady back?"

"In the carriage." The driver's reply followed.

Chu Si Yi not closed his eyes, deeply breathed out a breath, should come or come.

All she can do now is hide it for a while.

The emperor's banquet was private, including the emperor, the southern concubine, the old lady of Chu, Xia Yi and King Mu.

She believed that before all the dust was settled, none of these people would be disclosed to chusike.

Then, she has time to think about coping strategies.

After making a bet with the emperor, Xia Yi really began to study the food of Kaibei.

There are many people in the central and southern regions of Xiliang capital, but few in the northern regions.

Xiao Linmu helps Xia Yi find a few people from Beiyu, and basically knows what dishes and tastes Beiyu has.

Most of the dishes in the northern region are rough, mainly pasta and meat.

This cooking method is rarely seen in Xiliang.

But Xia Yi is not the same. She was born in an age when the Internet and transportation were relatively developed, and she has some knowledge of this cooking method.

Northern regions are mostly nomadic for a living. They have something in common with Xia Yi's nomadic eating habits, but they are more monotonous than Xia Yi's.

Xia Yi once traveled there, and because of her curiosity, she went to other people's kitchens to see the cooking methods, but she didn't know how to do it.

Xia Yi made several kinds of food that she had seen before. After she tasted it for the northern region people, she got some praise.

But this is far from enough, because these people in the northern regions are just ordinary people, and they have never had a real Palace Banquet.

Even the beef and mutton they ate were older than those of the nobles.

You know, if Xia Yi wants to compete, he must compete with the top cooks in Beiyu. If he wants to win, he is not sure.

For several days, those people from the northern regions did not put forward any suggestions except for delicious food, which was of no use to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi has a headache.

She hasn't been out of the kitchen for several days. Xiao Linmu has seen Xia Yiwo in the kitchen several times.

"How's it going?" Xiao Linmu asked.

Xia Yi put the freshly cooked milk tea in front of Xiao Linmu and said, "try it."

Xiao Linmu took a bowl and tasted it. There was a strong tea flavor in the salty milk flavor, which was a wonderful taste.

I can't get used to the first bite, but I can taste the fragrance in the second. I feel it's OK.

"What is this?"

"Milk tea."

"It's OK. Why are you so sad?" After Xiao Linmu put down the bowl, he saw the gloomy clouds on Xia Yi's face.

Xia Yi shakes his head, "always feel some taste is wrong."

Xia Yi used to drink this kind of milk tea, and she didn't think it was the same as the taste in her memory.

Xiao Linmu said: "don't worry. There are still some days for the northern missions to come to Xiliang. There is plenty of time to prepare. You don't have to worry about these dishes. "

After Xiao Linmu's persuasion, Xia Yi decides to postpone for two days.

It is said that it will be postponed for two days, but Xia Yi is not idle.

She went to Ruyi building the next day.

I just met an old acquaintance in Ruyi building. He just came back from Nanyu.

After delivering the spices, boss Bi stayed in Ruyi building to have a meal.

Xia Yi takes care of elder brother Bi and goes back to the kitchen.

After a period of time, Xia Yi thinks that boss Bi has been to the north and south, maybe to the north.

If so, I'm sure I can give him some help.

So she quickly ran out, just Bi elder brother and a few younger brothers went to the door.

"Boss Bi, stay here." Xia Yi quickly stops.

"What's the matter?" Boss Bi, look back.

Xia Yi asked: "boss Bi, have you ever been to Beiyu?"

Big Bi nodded, "of course I have."
