"elder brother!"

Lin, who was wearing a bullfight uniform, stood behind Hua Yingrong in high spirits. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed his oval face red, and he greeted him energetically.

After this long journey, she finally returned to Beijing. She had just arrived at the palace and hurriedly handed over the emperor's mission, and then returned to this home.

Lin Haoran couldn't help but smile when he saw this sister who seemed to have grown taller. But he immediately felt that it was inappropriate, so he scolded with a straight face: "Wild girl, you finally know that you are back?"

Before leaving Beijing, he told this wild girl to mind her own business, but it obviously had no effect, but she still went her own way and fought for others.

It was not only the matter of Mr. Hu, but also a lot of other things. For example, when a foolish magistrate was handling a case, while she was redressing the injustice of the woman, she also used Shangshu to impeach the foolish magistrate.

When Hua Yingrong heard this complaint, she glanced at Lin Haoran with a hint of jealousy.

"Oh, of course I knew I was back! If it weren't for the many things I encountered on the road, I would have been back long ago!" Lin Pingtan first stated his attitude, and then explained in a crisp voice.

Lin Haoran was actually mentally prepared for this. After all, if this girl doesn't care about other people's business, then she is no longer a Hu Niu, so she asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"White-cut chicken!" Lin Pingping's eyes brightened slightly, and he blurted out immediately.

Lin Haoran turned to look at Lin Jinyuan behind him, and immediately gave instructions: "You let the kitchen kill the chicken, and I will cook it myself later!"

"Okay!" Lin Jinyuan responded immediately.

In the houses of other officials, it is absolutely impossible for the master to cook. But here in the Lin Mansion, it is nothing new, and Lin Haoran seems to be happy to cook by himself.

Of course, it seems that the only person who can enjoy this kind of treatment is his precious sister.

When Hua Yingrong saw this, she shook her head helplessly, but there was no jealousy in her heart. After all, it was Lin Ping Ping who stayed by Lin Haoran's side during those difficult years.

After a while, the kitchen was ready.

The current cook in the Lin Mansion came from Guangdong. He is the brother-in-law of Changlin Village’s number one cook, Hou Si, and he is very reliable. He is doing quick work on the side, and he has done this kind of thing a lot, and soon he is

Prepare the chicken and condiments.

Lin Haoran knows that the skin of plain-cut chicken is the most important thing to avoid, so he not only puts it in warm water, but also soaks it in ice water before taking it out of the pot, so that the skin of the chicken becomes tight.

However, there are very few people who are as particular as Lin Haoran. Not to mention that the ice in the capital in summer is very valuable, and I am afraid no one is willing to "waste" it like this.

Although Lin Haoran has not cooked for a long time, he is very talented in cooking.

He had perfect control over the heat and seasonings, and he skillfully chopped up a plump and golden white-cut chicken neatly with a kitchen knife, then slowly placed it on the plate.

While he was standing in front of the chopping board, chopping the chicken, Lin Pingping had already arrived, grabbed a plump chicken leg with one hand, sat on the long bench opposite and ate it deliciously.

Maybe some things will change, but the family affection between the two brothers and sisters has not dissipated. To this day, they have not forgotten the life of supporting each other in Changlin Village.

For a moment, the two of them had the illusion that they were not in a mansion in the capital, but in a dilapidated thatched hut in Changlin Village.

Lin Haoran chopped the chicken breast with a kitchen knife. He said with a slight smile: "You did your brother a big favor when you arrested Mr. Hu last time!"

This is also true. Because Hu Song was implicated by Hu Ergong and fell, the court of the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil.

Although Xu Jie still controlled the Ministry of Personnel, he took the opportunity to join the cabinet. In addition, Gao Gong had successfully obtained the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue earlier by virtue of his status as Prince Yu's most senior position.

Although Xu Jie is still respected in the current court situation, he also has some confidence to challenge Xu Jie.

"Brother, that bad guy is just asking for his own death. I will definitely not let him go, but it doesn't seem like I'm helping you. I always feel that it was Chen Wude who seduced Mr. Hu and knocked him on the head in front of me!" Lin Pingyong said

He tore off a piece of greasy chicken with his teeth and responded with an understanding look.

"Don't say this nonsense!" Lin Haoran warned him sternly as he didn't want to give Hu Song the slightest chance of making a comeback, let alone leave a stain on his disciple.

"Brother, of course I won't talk nonsense outside, but aren't you and I the only ones here now?" Lin Pingping explained solemnly, holding the remaining half of the chicken drumstick in his hand.

Lin Haoran knew that his sister was not ignorant and could consider some consequences when doing things, so he said in a gentle tone: "Chen Wude has a reputation of loving the people this time. I intend to transfer Chen Wude back to the capital. What do you think?"

"Yes! Chen Wude is a pretty good person, and he has a good reputation as a county magistrate. He should be a good official!" Lin Pingping chewed the chicken drumstick in his mouth and nodded in approval.

Lin Haoran had chopped the chicken and put it on a beautiful porcelain plate, but then he changed the subject and said, "What about you? Now that you have finished your imperial mission, what are your plans next?"

"Alas...I don't know either! I returned to the palace today, but the emperor didn't even talk to me, but master said that I will have something happy in the near future!" Lin Pingtan sighed first, and then said seriously.

"I'm afraid it's difficult to have a happy event. You are a woman after all, and it is indeed difficult to make appropriate arrangements!" Lin Haoran shook his head gently, his heart suddenly moved slightly, but he said in a joking tone: "If you were me

Just like my brother!"

This is also true. If Lin Ping Ping was his younger brother, he would have already entered the Royal Guards with great dignity, not to mention whether he could continue to serve as an official in the court.

"Oh... I don't want to be your brother, I just want to be your sister, and whatever happens to women, we women can also make a career!" Lin Pingping raised the chicken leg bone in his hand and responded unconvinced.

When Lin Haoran saw this, he shook his head with a wry smile.

This is already a small episode, and Lin Ping Ping's whereabouts are already unknown.

With Lin Pingping's return, Lin's mansion has obviously become a lot more lively.

After dinner, Xu Jiao led the two girls to the door. Not long after they stayed, Lin Pingtan followed them outside to play. No matter what time it was, Lin Pingping always seemed unable to stay at home.
