Tian's little cook

Chapter 645 The Beauty of Adulthood
The man smiled and said, "I didn't expect this young lady to also like to read this book."

Since he took the initiative to speak, Lin Zhimo couldn't ignore it: "This was recommended by a friend of mine, but I haven't been able to find it. It's lucky to meet him this time."

"Of course, I also want to thank you, son, for your fulfillment." Lin Zhimo added.

"You're welcome, a gentleman has the beauty of being a man." The man smiled chicly, cupped his hands and left.

After buying a few books, Lin Zhimo didn't go out for the next few days. He read and wrote in the small yard, fed Xiao Hei and brushed his hair, and even ran to help Aunt Xie cook.

Seeing that she was so calm, Jing Hong admired her even more.

He stayed by Huangfuchu's side for a long time and met many women, but now he feels more and more that only Lin Zhimo is worthy of His Highness.

Smart and quick-witted, but calm and sensible, judging the situation, knowing how to advance and retreat, no wonder His Highness loves her so much.

The life in the small courtyard is quiet and isolated, but the outside is really rough, with constant wind and waves.

Yuan Shen returned to the residence at noon, and the main room, Mrs. Xie, greeted him immediately: "Master is back, just in time to serve food."

"Yeah." Yuan Shen handed the official hat to the housekeeper, "Where's Xueer?"

"Always in the mansion." Xie turned to the servant girl and listened to Xia's instructions: "Go and invite the young lady out for lunch."

"Yes, ma'am." Ting Xia took the order and left.

Only Yuan Shen, Xie Shi and Yuan Xue were eating lunch, and the other two concubines were naturally not allowed to sit at the table.

Even while eating, Yuan Shen's face was obviously sad.

Yuan Xue asked with concern: "Father, is there too much going on in court recently?"

"Hey." Yuan Shen sighed solemnly: "At first, I thought that the third prince became the crown prince, and I could be regarded as a firm foothold, but I didn't expect that something later would happen."

He was referring to Huangfu Xuan's serious illness and Huangfu Rui's supervision of the country.Yuan Shen was on Huangfuchu's side, so he would naturally be suppressed.

Now Yuan Shen is cautious everywhere, walking on thin ice.

Mrs. Xie asked: "Master, will that implicate you?"

"As long as it's on the prince's side, it will be implicated." Yuan Shen put down his chopsticks, "But I'm better off in the Privy Council."

"By the way, this is an extraordinary period. If you have nothing to do, don't go out and stay at home." Yuan Shen considered very cautiously. Now that he has not established a firm foothold in the capital, it is best not to cause other troubles.

"Master, Xue'er and I know." Xie Shi said, and brought him another dish, "Master, you have lost weight recently, eat more."

Yuan Xue thought that she was going out in the afternoon, and after thinking about it, she decided not to tell her father, otherwise he would be unhappy.

Not long after lunch, Yuan Shen hurried out again.

Yuan Xue came to Xie's room, "Mother, I will go out later."

"What are you going out for?" Mrs. Xie immediately asked, "Your father just said at noon, it's best not to go out."

"Mother, I want to make two sets of clothes today." Yuan Xue sat beside her and said coquettishly, "Mother, the clothes I brought are not comparable to those in the capital, they look very rustic."

"Okay, you go early and come back early." Mrs. Xie also understood her daughter's love for beauty, and patted her hand lovingly, "Be careful outside, and don't pay attention to strangers."

"Understood, mother." Yuan Xue hugged her, "You still love me the most."

At this time, in the small courtyard, Jing Hong knocked on the door and entered the study, "Miss Lin, are you going out today?"

Lin Zhimo put down his pen and said happily, "Can I see Lin Jiao today?"
