Chapter 236 Reminder
Outside the gate of the Zhao residence, there was a cold wind blowing.

Gu Hanlin and Meng Jin walked on the street in silence.

After walking for a long time, Gu Hanlin didn't stop until he couldn't see the Zhao Mansion when he looked back.

"Lan Shu invited you to help Shen Xian out today?"

Meng Jin chuckled, and said slowly: "Since Mr. Gu knows it well, why bother to ask?"

"Hmph, none of you juniors take this old man seriously."

Gu Hanlin flicked his sleeves, displeasure written all over his face.

Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Meng Jin couldn't say anything in his heart, so he just sighed softly.

"Master Gu, even though Shen Xian is Lan Shu's illegitimate child, you don't have to make things difficult for her."

Gu Hanlin turned around and glanced at Meng Jin unexpectedly. Twenty years ago, Meng Jin had a deep affection for Gu Lanshu, and he saw it.

I didn't expect Meng Jin not only didn't hate him after so many years but couldn't get it, but also helped that little bastard to speak, which is really unimaginable.

"You have a lenient heart and a lenient management. It's not up to you, an outsider, to point out my Gu family's affairs!"

Gu Hanlin blew his beard and stared, and was about to leave, planning to go back and teach Gu Lanshu a lesson.

"Master Gu." Meng Jin called out again.

Gu Hanlin stopped in his tracks and asked impatiently, "What else is there?"

Standing with his hands behind his back, Meng Jin said calmly: "In another month, Elder Liu Ge will return to his hometown. When there is a vacancy in the cabinet, I will vote for Sir Gu. Please don't embarrass them any more."

It is self-evident who Meng Jin is talking about at this moment.

A gleam of light appeared in Gu Hanlin's old eyes. It was the dream of all courtiers to seal the border and enter the cabinet. It was the proof of being a minister of Liang Guo, and it was a black ink that went down in history.

"Okay, okay, you really are an infatuated kind, why don't the old man persuade Lan Shu to make a sequel for you."

Meng Jin's first wife died young for many years. Gu Hanlin knew this. Although Meng Jin promised to help him, the verbal promise still made Gu Hanlin worry about gains and losses. He hoped to use practical actions to tie Meng Jin and himself together. Together.

Hearing this, Meng Jin shook his head, "I have already promised to be friends with Lan Shu, not to mention that her original partner will soon come to Beijing, if I marry Lan Shu, he will not call."

After hearing Meng Jin's words, Gu Hanlin laughed again and again.

"This coward hasn't dared to enter Beijing for 20 years, what is he doing in Beijing now?"

Meng Jin showed surprise, and said slowly: "Looks like Lan Shu didn't tell you that her original partner, Shen Su, works under the command of General Xiao, and now she has closed thousands of households."

"Thousands?"

After Gu Hanlin heard the news, he sneered again and again. This Shen Su, who was silent, actually sat in Qianhu. Could it be that he wanted to play the trick of 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi?

"Originally, the old man was a little worried that this little bastard would become a big weapon with her husband, but now he doesn't care."

After hearing Gu Hanlin's words, Meng Jin was a little silent.

Xiao Xuangu and Yuwen have been at odds for many years. The two sides are fighting openly and secretly, and it is normal for the two sides to fight against each other.

Even if Zhao Shun entered the official career, he might be left out in the cold in the court because of Shen Xian's father's identity.

When Meng Jin came back to his senses, Gu Hanlin was no longer there.

Meng Jin glanced around, then chuckled, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me."

The task entrusted by the old man was over, and when Meng Jin was about to return home, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Master Meng stay here."

Meng Jin turned around, only to see the butler of the Zhao Mansion approaching respectfully and politely.

"What's the matter?"

The old housekeeper smiled, bowed and said: "My mistress has prepared bouillon at home, and I want to thank Mr. Meng."

Meng Jin pondered for a moment, planning to raise Shen Xian a little bit.

"Alright, I also have something to say to them."

The old butler led the way and invited Meng Jin back to the Zhao residence.

Meng Jin followed the old housekeeper all the way to the back house, and saw a servant moving a huge brass stove.

"What is this, a new brazier?"

The old butler smiled mysteriously, his heart was full of joy, the things made by his wife, even the senior officials who have seen the world have never seen it.

"Master Meng, come with me, you will understand what this is for after a while."

Meng Jin nodded and continued walking in.

Shen Xian came out from the dining room, saw Meng Jin coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I met Mr. Meng, thank you Mr. Meng for your help today."

Meng Jin smiled and nodded, "It's nothing, just a few words."

Meng Jin is gentle and humble, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and he has no official airs.

Although it was a matter of a few words, Shen Xian understood that if Meng Jin hadn't come here again today, even if she presented those evidences, Jin Sheng would continue to mess around unreasonably.

"Master Meng, please, this junior has prepared some food and wine."

Shen Xian led Meng Jin into the side hall, Zhao Shun, Yan Chongluan and Liu Qing hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Caomin has seen Mr. Meng."

Meng Jin looked at the people in front of him and nodded, and said gently, "There's no need to be too polite."

After everyone was seated, the cook filled the large copper stove in the center of the table with half a pot of bone broth with a kettle, and then added a large piece of hot pot base.

Looking at this scene, Meng Jin felt a little novel, and didn't take it seriously at first.

But when the hot pot bottom material blooms, the fresh, spicy and spicy taste hits the face, which makes people's index fingers move.

"Niece Shen, what is the name of this copper pot?"

Seeing that Meng Jin finally asked curiously, Shen Xian explained with a smile: "Master Meng, this thing is called hot pot, and I researched it myself."

Facing Meng Jin, Liu Qing was a little cautious, but Yan Chongluan was indeed very natural, and ended the conversation with a smile.

"Master Meng, this hot pot is absolutely delicious, especially in this winter, after eating a pot, you will feel hot all over your body."

"Then I'm going to try it."

Meng Jin became interested, raised his hand to pick up a piece of mutton, and put it into the pot.

One rinse, one dip, one eat, articulate and fragrant.

"Okay, the taste is just right!" Meng Jin's eyes lit up, it was really delicious.

Yan Chongluan looked at Meng Jin, feeling as if he had met a bosom friend, and believed that Meng Jin would also be addicted to this hot pot in the future.

There was a smile on Shen Xian's brows, and he exchanged a glance with Zhao Shun, seeing what he asked for today, the hope of success is not small.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Meng Jin restrained himself consciously and stopped his chopsticks.

Shen Xian originally planned to order more food for Meng Jin, but Meng Jin put the rice bowl on the table.

"Master Meng is full?"

Meng Jin smiled and said, "No, but I can't eat any more, otherwise eating other things in the future will be tasteless."

So self-disciplined?Shen Xian couldn't help giving Meng Jin a high look.

Meng Jin raised his head slowly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
