C18 First Move Curve to Save the Nation

After returning to his residence, Yan Ge sat down at the table, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his two fair arms. "Xiao Chuanzi, grind the ink."

"Yes."

Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi both lowered their heads and did not look at his hand. No matter what, Yan Ge was the emperor's concubine.

After grinding the ink, Yan Ge pressed the paperweight onto the smooth white paper, and dipped the brush into the ink, "Xiao Jin, help me recite the recipe of the《 Eighteen Imperial Censor》, I will write it."

"Alright." "Emerald Shrimp Ring, marinate the fish with salt and pepper first, add half a lemon and butter …"

Xiao Chuanzi could read a few words as he asked curiously, "Emerald Shrimp Ring, Sea Rice Pearl Shoal, Longevity Duck Soup … "Young master, you've written all about dishes, right?"

Yan Ge carelessly said, "Yes. My mother's side of the family is a bit tight with money. I'm going to write up some dishes to set up a restaurant for them. "

"Oh." Xiao Chuanzi understood that, after all, he had seen too many things in the palace, and knew in his heart that this was the young master's plan to help his family with their business. However, as the imperial government had a rule that officials could not do business, it was not illegal for officials to hang their family's shops under their wives' names. As the saying goes, "policy is in the upper echelon, and countermeasures are in the lower echelon".

After writing all over a piece of paper, Wan Xiang carefully placed it on the imperial concubine's bed, waiting for it to dry.

Not only did he copy some of the recipes from the《 Eighteen Kinds of Royal Manipulations》, he also remembered some of the dishes and the dishes that he had eaten before, and memorized them all. Then, he took out another piece of paper and gave the restaurant a resounding name, "Immortal Residence". He left behind a few sentences hinting that this restaurant was for his mother. Yan Xiaojing and Yan Su could immediately understand what was going on.

After a moment's thought, he wrote down the modern concepts of decoration, publicity, management, and sales in popular language, trying to be as concise as possible. No matter how small the writing was, it still took up space. After binding it all together, it became a thin book. Yan Ge decided that if there was a chance in the future, he must invent a pen or a pen.

"Is there any way to get these out?"

Wan Xiang said: "I can, but I won't be able to hide such a huge thing if I bring it out. Because in order to prevent people from stealing things from the palace and selling them, the people of the palace have to search their bodies when they leave the palace. "

Yan Ge intertwined his fingers, troubled. His fingertips tapped lightly on the back of his hand.

"Ding." Sub Mission – Please agree to send the menu out of the palace. Time of the mission, three days. The reward for completing the quest was 50 silver taels and one silver box. If the mission failed, 50 silver taels would be deducted. Please choose 'Yes' if you accept the mission, and 'No' if you reject it. "

Yan Ge was startled, and asked in his heart: "Xiao Jin, what's going on? "You know what I've been through in reality?"

He said seriously, "I don't know. Master, the side quest is randomly triggered and is not controlled by me. "However, Master, I suggest that you accept the Sub Mission because the rewards may be used in the future."

Yan Ge hesitated for a moment before accepting it. He did the math and the system awarded him 65 Silvers in total. It was more than enough to deduct the reward if he failed the quest. Furthermore, he was also a little curious about the silver box. But what he found strange was why the system asked him to seek Zhou Wenhan for help. Amongst the other three male consort s, the one Zhou Wenhan disliked the most was him. He didn't think there was much hope for success, but there was no harm in trying.

Through her understanding of Zhou Wenhan during this period of time, Zhou Wenhan bragged that she was proficient in all kinds of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since that's the case …

He picked up the pen, and quickly wrote something down on a piece of paper. He then said to Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi: "I'll pay a visit to Zhou Qinghong. Xiao Chuanzi is carrying a bag. "

Inside the Spring Dew Pavilion, Zhou Wenhan was sitting on the bed, fidgety and preoccupied with thinking about how to meet the Emperor. Suddenly, she heard the news of Yan Ge's visit from his little eunuch, Xiao Lin, and sat up, almost falling off his bed. Little Palace Maid Xing Er caught him in time.

"Yan Ge? He has never been to this young master's Spring Dew Pavilion before. "Ask him to come in."

"Yes."

After Yan Ge walked in, he sat at the table and drank his tea. Sit anywhere. Xing Er, pour the tea. "

Yan Ge sat down, "Zhou said that we would share Hall of Spring Wind, isn't that the same fate as well? In this palace, the first opponents we have to face aren't each other, but the ones outside … " He pointed to the direction of Hall of Spring Wind 'gate, "What does Zhou Gou think?"

Zhou Wenhan took a sip of tea and remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Yan Ge continued: "The reason this young master came here today is to give Zhou Quan a gift, and it might be able to help Zhou to promise Yuan Meng."

"Oh?" Zhou Wenhan was interested, but she still remained on her guard. Would Yan Ge really be so kind as to give him a present?

Yan Ge magnanimously took out the paper with the zither manual, in order to show that he did not poison it with poison. After he spread it out, he even used his palm to flatten the paper. This is a long-lost score that I inadvertently acquired. "Zhou promised to be absolutely brilliant. If I could amaze the world with this song, why would I worry about not summoning you, your majesty the Emperor?"

Zhou Wenhan tried her best to remain calm, but she could not help but be moved. She leaned forward and glanced at the paper from the corner of her eyes, "Can you let this young master see first?"

Yan Ge laughed but did not speak, he folded the paper and showed him the first half of the zither music.

Zhou Wenhan immediately went over, and the more she looked at it, the happier her expression became. After she sat back down and rested for a bit, she returned to normal and asked: "There must be something that Yan Qianyin wanted, right?"

"Zhou is really smart." Yan Ge took the bundle from Xiao Chuanzi's hands and let him and Wan Xiang go out.

Seeing that, Zhou Nan was suspicious, but allowed Xiao Lin and Xing Er to leave.

Yan Ge opened his bag, and flipped open a few pages of the book inside, "If there's anything you need, you wouldn't come to the Three Treasures Hall. These are some of the dishes I wrote out of boredom. I wanted to give them to my parents so they can set up a restaurant in Beijing to subsidize their family. You and I both know that with our small status, we'll have to spend a lot of money to meet the emperor. I wonder if Zhou is willing to help out with this little favor? "

He purposely said that it was half true and half false, and very directly said that she needed to use money to create a path to meet the Emperor. However, Zhou Wenhan did not doubt his intentions.

Sure enough, Zhou Wenhan revealed a "I knew you wanted to see the Emperor too, you didn't admit it before" look at him with ridicule in his eyes, then nodded, "You really found the right person to help me with this. The disciple of the eunuch in charge of the palace was a distant cousin of mine, and he would need me to look after him in the palace. Furthermore, what you have written in your book is only a menu, so bringing it out of the palace is not a problem. "

Yan Ge cupped his hands and smiled, "Then I will thank Zhou for agreeing first. I'll give you half of the score first, and the other half after you send it out. "What do you think about it?"

Zhou Wenhan was anxious to know the complete content of the zither music, and was a little disappointed, but she could only agree. Every day in the palace, we have to buy them. At the latest, tomorrow at noon, we'll wait for my good news. "

"Good." Yan Ge stood up and cupped his hands again, "Then, I wish Zhou the best of luck in fulfilling your wish. In order to avoid trouble, it's best not to let a third person know about the recipe. "

Zhou Wenhan picked up the teacup, "Don't worry. This young master understands. "

Yan Ge didn't speak anymore, and left with Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi.

Du Zhengfeng walked closer from the cobblestone path, and upon seeing him walk out of the Spring Dew Pavilion, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Greetings, Du Chang Zai."

"No need for formalities," Du Zhengfeng said. "This is the first time that Yan Xie has agreed to go to Zhou Tong's place."

Yan Ge smiled merrily, and was not bothered by his question, "Du Chang Zai and Zhou Siniang have a good relationship with each other? "You even know that."

Du Zhengfeng looked at him, "This young master and Worthy Lady Soong are aware of this. If you have the time, you can also come and visit this young master. "

"If I'm free, I'll definitely go and bother you." Yan Ge said.

After walking far away, he could still feel that Du Zhengfeng was looking at him. He was secretly suspicious, but when he turned around and saw that Du Zhengfeng was not there, he found it funny that he was being suspicious.

The next day was not even time for lunch when Yan Ge heard the notification sound in his head: "Ding. Congratulations on successfully completing your side quest - please agree to help send the menu out of the palace this week. The reward for completing the quest was 50 silver taels and one silver box. Would you like to open the silver box now? "

Yan Ge used his consciousness and clicked "Yes", the silver box opened up. Following the words "Congratulations, you have obtained the set of the Quicksand God Sword Technique", a silver light flashed and something flew into his bag.

Yan Ge was overjoyed. Sword manual? Could he become a legendary martial arts master?

He quickly opened his bag and saw that there was indeed an additional item inside that was labeled "Quicksand Sword Art". After clicking, a dynamic image immediately appeared in front of him. A young man dressed in ancient clothes was fiddling with a treasured sword in his hand. His moves were constantly changing and were unpredictable, like flowing water. The first time was very slow, but the second time was very fast. Even if it was just an afterimage, Yan Ge could still feel a dense killing intent. About twenty minutes later, the young hero finished demonstrating the entire set of sword technique and stood still.

Yan Ge clicked it again and the image started to repeat itself. He took a brush and used it as a sword, and started learning.

Wan Xiang was no longer surprised by the little master's sudden strange reaction and looked at it with interest.

Xiao Chuanzi informed the outside, "Reporting to little master, Little Lin of the Spring Dew Pavilion requests an audience."

"Oh," Yan Ge thought about his deal with Zhou Wenhan and put away his brush. "Wan Xiang, give him the zither music."

"Yes."

In the next few days, Yan Ge was completely immersed in learning Quicksand Sword, his speed increasing, and he found the sword skill increasingly exquisite. Not only could he feel that his body was growing stronger and healthier because of it, he could also faintly feel a wave of heat below his lower abdomen.

Outside the palace, Yan Xiaojing was seriously impressed by Yan Ge's agility and planning. Although he was suspicious of how Yan Ge knew this much, he still took it as an inspiration from the people inside the palace. He did not doubt the origins of the menu at all and immediately set up the restaurant. After all, it was unheard-of for them to borrow a corpse to pay their souls. Thus, they wouldn't think in that direction.

Until one month later, the eunuch who passed down the decree once again came to the Hall of Spring Wind.

Soong Ruhao, Du Zhengfeng and Zhou Wenhan were overjoyed as they came out to receive the imperial edict.

Soong Ruhao hadn't given up trying to communicate with his father during this period of time. He hoped that he could persuade the Emperor to bestow him a Holy Pet.

Du Zhengfeng also visited the imperial flower garden from time to time, it was obvious that he had other intentions.

Zhou Wenhan did not give up on playing the zither everyday. About half a month ago, he was summoned to the Imperial Garden by the Emperor, and even received praise from the Emperor. Although the emperor didn't look through his brand that night, it was a great hope, wasn't it?

Now, the imperial edict had finally arrived. Joy was written all over their faces.

Yan Ge quietly kneeled at the back, not minding it at all. His plans outside the palace had not yet reached the final step. Even if the Emperor wanted to summon him, it would not be now.

The imperial eunuch saw the look of anticipation on the faces of the imperial concubines, and his gaze swept across the four of them, secretly shaking his head. "Here it is."
