【Asking for recommendation votes】

Jiangzhou.

The time goes back to two days ago.

That was the day Zhu Xiuyuan followed Eunuch Zhang and set off for Beijing.

Dong's Mansion.

"Xia Wu, look at the sword!"

Dong Shuzhen held a thin long sword in her hand, held a sword flower, made a posture, and stabbed Xia Wu opposite with her sword.

"Well done, Miss!"

Xia Wu also held a thin long sword in her hand, as if performing a sword dance, going back and forth with Dong Shuzhen, the sword blades clashing, making a clanging sound.

They are a pair of master and servant, they are practicing swordsmanship!

The old beggar, the leader of the Beggar Gang, lived in the Dong Mansion for three months. During this period, in addition to training Yan Dashan, he also taught Dong Shuzhen.

This set of swordsmanship came from the old beggar.

When the old beggar taught Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu also followed behind. The old beggar took advantage of the delicious food in Dong's house, so he simply taught him...

This set of swordsmanship is very powerful, looks good when dancing, and is very practical. It directly raises Dong Shuzhen's skills to a higher level.

As soon as they, master and servant, have free time, they will practice this sword technique.

Today, Dong Shuzhen is particularly happy and in a beautiful mood.

Because the two beautiful "Yangzhou thin horses" suddenly broke into the house, they were sent out of the house by their husband!

It was she who personally watched them leave.

After those two "pipa spirits" left, no one would compete with her for her husband, and then her husband would be able to pamper her alone as before...

Dong Shuzhen was in a good mood, so she summoned Xia Wu to practice swordsmanship with her.

It’s a practice of swordsmanship, and it’s also a game!

"Xia Wu, have those two 'Pipa Spirits' gone far?"

During the sparring session, Dong Shuzhen took the time to talk.

"Miss, don't worry. After we sent them out, our servant secretly followed them for a while..."

"The two 'Pipa Spirits' each got three hundred taels, and received another five thousand taels as a private gift from the lady. They happily hired two carriages and left the city..."

"The slaves also heard the two 'Pipa Spirits' saying in the carriage that with these five thousand six hundred taels, they were going to find a paradise, buy a few acres of thin fields, raise silkworms and weave cloth..."

Dang Dang Dang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing could not be stopped. The two women were practicing their swordsmanship and chatting at the same time.

The two girls were jumping around, their skirts were fluttering, and their hair was flying. It turned out to be a rare "picture of a beauty dancing with a sword."

"So good, so good!"

Dong Shuzhen laughed happily. In her excitement, she danced the slender sword in her hand so brightly that the blade could no longer be seen.

Xia Wu concentrated on dealing with it. When Dong Shuzhen's offensive slowed down a little, she asked again:

"But miss, that's more than 5,000 taels. Miss gave it away generously. Could it be..."

"How much is more than five thousand taels?"

"Not much, probably about five hundred taels or five taels!"

"Well, let's use some small silver stones to send away those two 'Pipa Spirits'. This deal is a good deal!"

"Miss is wise!"

"That is……"

However, before Dong Shuzhen's arrogance had passed, Zhu Xiuyuan's personal maid Qiu Wen ran over.

I saw Qiu Wen's long skirt swaying constantly, and her two little feet running alternately inside it, but the steps were too small, as if she couldn't move forward.

And her hands, I don’t know how to put them, but they are very funny——

Qiu Wen rarely runs like this, and she seems to not know how to run. No matter how she looks at her running posture, it makes people laugh.

At the same time, Qiu Wen was still shouting: "Miss...Miss...Uncle, he...Uncle, he..."

Dong Shuzhen, who was dancing with the sword, immediately stopped dancing when she heard Qiu Wen calling "Uncle, he...".

And turned around, the arrogance on her face had not completely dissipated, and asked with a smile: "Qiu Wen? What's wrong, husband?"

Qiu Wen kept running in a strange posture, crossing the hanging flower gate in the east courtyard and entering the courtyard.

"Miss, my uncle...he was taken away by a eunuch from the palace. He didn't pack anything, so he left, saying he went to the capital..."

Qiu Wen was panting heavily, and her little round face was covered with sweat.

She wanted to make it clearer, but her lung capacity was so big that it was too late.

However, this is a bad thing.

"Husband, he..."

Dong Shuzhen was stunned for a moment, and after uttering the words "Husband, he...", she became silent again.

Bang!

The long sword in his hand also fell to the ground.

Dong Shuzhen remained motionless, her eyes fixedly looking in the direction of the hanging flower door, her eyes unfocused and her face expressionless, as if a wooden stake was growing there.

"Miss?"

Xia Wu noticed something strange and hurriedly ran over to take a look.

But he saw his young lady looking like this.

She hurriedly threw away the long sword in her hand, held Dong Shuzhen's shoulders with both hands, and shook her head: "Miss? Miss, what's wrong with you?"

However, Dong Shuzhen's soul seemed to have been taken away, and she could not move.

Ren Xiawu shook her head, but her face remained expressionless and her eyes were dull, staring blankly in the direction of the hanging flower door.

"Miss, don't scare me! Miss, what's wrong with you!?"

Xia Wu was frightened. She held Dong Shuzhen's shoulders and shook her hard until her hair flew.

However, Dong Shuzhen still looks like that, standing here like a rubber man.

"Miss!"

Qiu Wen, who was gasping for breath, was also startled. The two maids supported Dong Shuzhen and shook and shouted together, but Dong Shuzhen's eyes did not move.

Her little face, whose baby fat had not completely dissipated, had no expression at this time, no smile, no sadness, and she looked as if she was asleep.

But her eyes were open.

Those round eyes are very big, the eyelashes are very long, they are very beautiful.

But at this moment, there was no trace of sparkle in his eyes...

"Go quickly... inform the master... inform the eldest lady..." Xia Wu started crying.

"Okay, you watch the lady here, I'll go..."

Qiu Wen also started crying, wiping her tears while stumbling outside.

…

In the courtyard and study room of Dong Shuyu, the eldest daughter of the Dong family.

Dong Shuyu was sitting at his desk, with a maid on his left and right, Chun Xue and Dong Mei.

Spring snow holds a lamp, winter plum blossoms grind ink.

Although Dong Shuyu is a woman, she still plays the role of "red sleeves add fragrance", because Chunxue and Dongmei are actually two little beauties.

Dong Shuyu was sitting at his desk, not writing, painting, or reading.

Instead, I am compiling a booklet.

On the cover of the booklet, there were several large and beautiful handwritings written on it: "Searching for Treasures and Secret Records".

The content of the booklet is Dong Shuyu's cooking steps recorded one by one, all of which are new dishes from Zhu Xiuyuan's "Search for Treasures".

In the past, when the old beggar lived in the Dong Mansion, a new dish every day was dictated by Zhu Xiuyuan and cooked by Dong Shuyu himself.

Starting from the first new dish, Dong Shuyu recorded everything about the new dish.

Including materials, steps, precautions, etc., the records are extremely detailed.
