"I don't think it's that complicated. We are all ordinary people now. However, regarding Yue'er's matter... I'm afraid the world won't be at peace recently..." Gu Yunru thought of the intrigues in the capital. In addition, the past few years in a foreign country seemed calm, but in fact there were undercurrents.
"My wife, I have said it before, as long as I am here, I will give you and Yaya a healthy and peaceful environment, and will not let those things disturb you." Rong Zhen held Gu Yunru's hand affectionately, and every oath he made was so serious and sincere, and his eyes seemed to flash with bright stars.
"Hmm..." Gu Yunru nodded contentedly. As long as Rong Zhen was by her side, she would feel inexplicably at peace. She leaned gently on his shoulder with a sweet smile on her lips, but at this moment a gust of wind blew in from the gap in the door.
"Who?" Gu Yunru looked back in surprise. It was Xiangping unexpectedly. There were several servants following her, carrying many sacks on their shoulders, as if they were going to move the entire family into Huajianlou.
"What are you doing?" She asked anxiously. Xiang Ping looked at the two of them with a smile on her face and said, "Since Brother Rong has already accepted me as his adopted sister, I have to come to Huajianlou to show off my skills! I will stay in Huajianlou for the time being and repay your kindness."
This sentence of hers was especially directed at Rong Zhen. Gu Yunru felt a sense of uneasiness brewing in her heart and stood there like a wooden chicken. Xiang Ping smiled with curved eyes, just like the moon in the sky, her whole person was calm and composed, with a hint of carefree and indifferent feeling.
She went up to the attic with the servants and lived opposite them, throwing down all the old furniture in the room.
"This..." Gu Yunru seemed unable to move, and didn't know whether she should step forward to dissuade them. However, she had already promised Xiangping to become their sister-in-law, so there was no reason to stop her.
"Husband..." Gu Yunru sighed silently and glanced at Rong Zhen. In the evening, Xiangping was already busy in the kitchen. The whole backyard was filled with the aroma of roast goose. Even Xiniang, Mazi and others came out of the room out of greed.
"It smells so good, who is cooking?!"
"Yes, yes, it's time for dinner."
Everyone was starving and stood guard at the door. Gu Yunru had originally hired a chef to cook for everyone, but everyone had a very picky appetite and could always find all kinds of faults with the chef. Now, Xiangping's arrival made everyone's eyes light up.
"The food is ready, everyone come over here!" Xiangping, wearing an apron and with her hair tied up high, greeted everyone warmly, took out a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, and asked everyone to sit around the stone table. The atmosphere was like that of a big family, and it was so lively.
"I've heard about Xiangping's cooking skills for a long time, and today I can finally taste her cooking skills in person!" Mazi and others looked at each other. They, the grown men, were usually busy in the kitchen in the backyard and rarely got to the front yard to taste the food cooked by Xiangping. Now they were finally in for a treat.
"Brother, please try this. This is the roast pigeon with truffles that I made for you!" Xiangping's cooking is also unique. He specially prepared this roast pigeon with truffles for Rong Zhen. It is so fragrant.
Gu Yunru felt saliva in her mouth just by looking at them, and she swallowed it silently. Seeing these delicious delicacies, she couldn't help but feel her appetite grow.
"Brother, please try it and see how it tastes. I sprinkled some sesame seeds, honey, and wolfberries on it." Xiangping was very enthusiastic. Xiniang, Mazi and others soon realized that something was wrong. This didn't look like a girl at all. She was simply a concubine who was brought in to welcome him very respectfully.
Everyone would keep looking around Xiangping, and soon their eyes would shift to these exquisite dishes.
"This lotus blood duck is a strong dish. I know that big brother has a strong taste, so I specially selected this lotus blood duck which is delicious, tender and tasty!" Gu Yunru was stunned when he heard Xiangping announcing the names of the dishes.
This dish is one of the top ten Gan dishes, and it has only been widely spread and famous in modern times. She didn't expect Xiangping to be so amazing. This made her wonder if Xiangping was a woman who traveled from the future.
She knew a little about this dish, Lotus Blood Duck. It was said that in 1276, when the reinforcements captured Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, they came to Lotus and drank chicken blood with the local rebels to swear an alliance, but they couldn't find a chicken, so they found a duck. Unexpectedly, they mistook duck blood wine for spicy sauce and poured it into the pot. A spicy smell spread out, and the dish became a paste with a purple-red color. This dish can be said to have won everyone's praise...
A dish was improvised and named Lotus Blood Duck, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
"Miss Xiangping, this lotus blood pressure technique is quite old and is said to have been lost. How did you do it?" Gu Yunru looked at Xiangping in front of her curiously. She was really creative, but the related knowledge she knew just happened to coincide with the field and scope of Gu Yunru's understanding. She couldn't help but doubt the origin of Xiangping in front of her.
"Actually, this was taught to me by my grandfather. This lotus blood duck is indeed a very famous dish. It is said that the emperor in the palace at that time was clamoring to go to the people to find this lotus blood duck.
This dish is not very complicated to prepare, but it is a test of the cooking time and the freshness and taste of the food.”
Xiangping's arguments were so logical that no one could find any point to refute them. It turned out that only someone with a profound gift for cooking could achieve such achievements and creativity, which made Gu Yunru admire him very much.

It seemed that all the limelight was snatched away by this woman named Xiangping. If she were seven or eight years younger, she would probably overshadow everyone else like Xiangping.
"Don't talk so much, just eat quickly, or it will get cold..." Mazi and the others didn't care about the origin and cooking method of this dish, they picked up their chopsticks and scrambled to grab it, as if they hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.
"..." Gu Yunru looked at Xiangping's fiery gaze. The man sitting next to him was her husband. She didn't expect that Xiangping knew her taste so well. She couldn't help feeling a little sulky.
"I personally made this soup for my brother. I know he has a good background, but I hope he can live a peaceful and happy life. This Dragon Flying Soup, also known as Hazel Chicken Soup, was specially cooked for him. Don't grab it!"
