Chapter 46
The next day, Mu Gu brought a wooden box to Xia Jin.

Xia Jin opened it and saw that it was worth 1 taels of silver!

"So many!" Xia Jin was shocked!He knew that his benefactor was very generous, but he didn't know that he was already so generous!
"This is the general who came back from the last battle and was rewarded by the emperor. The general has no hobbies, and he has never spent the money. Miss Xia doesn't have to feel burdened, just take it!" Mu Gu said.

Lin Ziyi has made countless military exploits, and he himself has no expenses, so almost all of them can only get in and out.

As for the expenses of the general's mansion, the old matriarch, as the imperial wife, has a salary every month, and the old matriarch has used it to subsidize the expenditure of the palace, which is more than enough.

However, once a war broke out, Lin Ziyi would spend all his money on military funds.

Compared with the tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people who took money from the government after the war broke out, Xia Jin's 1 taels is really not a big deal.

"I have to go back and report to the general, I'm leaving!" Mu Gu and Xia Jin bid farewell and left the house.

Before leaving, I remembered something and reminded: "The old lady knows about this, and I think I will ask you back to ask. Then you just tell the truth. The old lady is an enlightened person and will not embarrass you. yours!"

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

As soon as Mu Gu left, people from the General's Mansion came back.

"Miss Xia, Mrs. Madam, please go over there!"

In the general's mansion, the old matriarch was sitting on a soft couch in the flower hall, and Mrs. Sun stood behind her and massaged her cervical spine.

Pressing the button, he said: "I asked all the people in the general's mansion, but I couldn't find the person who made noodles for the old lady. Now there is only Miss Xia."

Ever since I ate that bowl of noodles, the old lady wanted to eat another one, but no matter what Lao Zhou did, the taste was not right.

Mrs. Sun approached Butler Lin to discuss it, and learned from him that Xia Jin once thought about cooking for the old lady.

Reminiscent of the fact that the general had eaten Xia Jin's food to get rid of his anorexia, Sun guessed that Xia Jin did it, so he notified someone to call her here.

"Old Madam, Miss Xia is here." Nanny reported outside the door.

"come in!"

Xia Jin walked in, bowed her forehead and said, "May the old lady be blessed and safe."

The old matriarch looked at Xia Jin carefully, looked left and right, this girl was so white, she didn't look like a cook at all.

Xia Jin felt terrified when she saw her, and asked, "The old matriarch asked me to come over, what orders do you have?"

Xia Jin thought that they were looking for her because of the 1 taels of silver that Lin Ziyi gave her.

After all, this is not a small amount.

"The thing is like this..." Mrs. Sun looked at Xia Jin and said, "After eating that bowl of noodles, the old lady found it delicious, so I want Miss Xia to make another serving!"

In fact, Sun was not sure that Xia Jin made the noodles, but tentatively said it out.

"Of course!" The old lady wanted to eat noodles, but she couldn't refuse Lin Ziyi's 1 taels of silver.

Seeing that Xia Jin agreed, the old lady and Mrs. Sun looked at each other, and they both saw expressions of surprise, shock, and surprise in each other's eyes.

Could it be that it's really Xia Jin! ?

"You can use the kitchen as you like, Miss Xia, go!" Sun said, suppressing her excitement.

Nanny took Xia Jin to the kitchen, Lao Zhou looked at Xia Jin who walked in with a strange expression.

He didn't think that such a young girl could make any delicious food, so he secretly said that in order to find someone to make noodles for the old matriarch, Sun brought everyone into the kitchen, and felt quite resentful in his heart.

Xia Jin approached the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, pulled off the apron hanging on the wall and tied it around her body, grabbed a handful of flour, beat it into eggs and lye, and started kneading the dough.

This movement was done in one go, so smooth that the expression on Lao Zhou's face, who had just despised Xia Jin, froze.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was wrong, but when he saw the dough in Xia Jin's hand slowly stretched, and then let Xia Jin shake it as if it was alive.

He is totally stupid!

After pulling the noodles and putting them aside for later use, Xia Jin started to cook the broth, adding bitter gourd and pork ribs as last time, and adding the three flavors to speed up the stew.

After a while, pour the cooked soup on the blanched noodles, and then garnish with vegetables.

A bowl of assorted fresh noodles is ready!

At this moment, the kitchen is full of scents, and Lao Zhou's jaw has been so shocked that he forgot to close it!
Xia Jin put the finished noodles on the tray, picked it up and walked towards the main courtyard.

Not long after, a bowl of noodles was placed in front of the old lady.

The old lady could tell at a glance that it was the same as the night she ate. She picked up the chopsticks with an excited heart, trembling hands, and an expression of anticipation.

She took a sip and her eyes lit up.

"That's what it tastes like!"

Then, I ate it mouthful after mouthful, and after a short while, my face became rosy.

Meanwhile, in the barracks.

Seeing Mu Gu came back, Lin Ziyi raised his eyes to look at him.

"Have things been delivered?"

Mu Gu cupped his hands and replied: "I sent them all to Miss Xia, and she accepted it too!"

Lin Ziyi frowned: "Yes."

"But..." Mu Gu hesitated to speak, when he was leaving the palace with the bank note, he overheard the maids in the backyard discussing that the old matriarch and Mrs. Sun planned to bring Xia Jin to the general's mansion.

He guessed that [-]% of it was because of the matter of taking the money. After thinking about it, it's better to tell the general about it.

Thinking of this, Mu Gu said: "The old matriarch already knows about the general giving money to Miss Xia, and is now calling Miss Xia to come over and ask questions."

Lin Ziyi put down the brush in his hand and asked, "What did you say?"

"When I went out, I happened to see the nanny of the General's Mansion entering the house. I'm afraid that Miss Xia is already in the General's Mansion now. If the old lady asks about the money, Miss Xia will probably be very embarrassed..."

"After all, it is a concubine with no status. After collecting so much money, the old lady and Mrs. Sun may feel unhappy." Mu Gu said worriedly.

Lin Ziyi frowned. He originally wanted to help Xia Jin. She thought Xia Jin had this talent and shouldn't be buried.

But if her good intentions became her burden, she would do bad things with good intentions instead.

"The matter in the barracks will be handled by you."

He threw the notebook into Mu Gu's hand, and walked quickly outside the camp.

A picture has already begun in the mind, Xia Jin is kneeling on the ground, the old lady and Mrs. Sun questioned why she wanted money, and accused her a lot.

Lin Ziyi didn't dare to delay, so he rode on his horse and rode to the general's mansion. He quickly jumped off his horse and walked all the way to the backyard house.

"Where is the old lady?" He grabbed the servant and asked.

"In the flower hall in the backyard."

He left his servant and hurried towards the flower hall, thinking, what should happen, he walked over quickly, and the moment he opened the door, he was stunned!
I only saw Xia Jin sitting beside the old matriarch, talking and laughing?
