The two of them walked through the first courtyard, then bypassed a screen wall with hanging flowers, and then entered the second courtyard of Xiao Mansion.

Logically speaking, visitors like Shen An could only meet Empress Xiao in the main room of the first courtyard at best.

This is under the premise that Empress Xiao is willing to see him. After all, the composition of the Xiao Mansion here is still somewhat special.

Although there are not no men, the entire mansion belongs to Empress Xiao. Without her, Li Shimin would not have made a special trip to welcome Yang Zhengdao back.

Even if he was reluctantly welcomed back, he would never be given such a grand mansion.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, if visitors can meet in the outer courtyard, try to meet them there. Visitors will not be allowed in easily in the inner house.

Although Empress Xiao is quite old and has seen a lot of things in the world, she is still a female family member after all, so she needs to avoid taboos.

This time, the boy also fell into a daze for a moment, because there had just been chaos in the house and there were noisy people. In addition, Shen An came in with Xiao Xian, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Shen An was brought in directly.

The two of them were still standing at the distant screen wall, but the movement in the main hall had already reached their ears.

"you!"

"What on earth are you going to do!"

"If you really don't want to learn, then forget it. Grandma won't embarrass you. It's better this time. You insist on learning to cook. After all these days, what dish have you made?"

"I wanted to ask you!"

"talk!"

The crutch in Empress Xiao's hand made a thumping sound when she hammered it. Shen An, who was far away, felt his heart beating fiercely when he heard this.

But what did Empress Xiao say?

The boy seemed to have said the same thing just now.

"Xiao Lang, did I hear you correctly? Cooking?"

"Jin Jin actually knows how to cook?"

This is truly scarier than a ghost story and is unimaginable.

Xiao Xian was also confused. Although their surname was Xiao, he really didn't know what Jin Jin did at home every day.

However, this cooking is really scary.

The two gentlemen looked at each other in confusion. During the short period of time when the boy went to report the news, they were all confused by Empress Xiao's words.

They couldn't connect Jin Jin's image with the cook.

If she were more aggressive, she might be able to kill pigs and sheep, but such delicate work as cooking was really not suitable for her.

In the main hall? Yang Jinjin is also a little timid.

Despite how loud she usually is, she is not afraid of gods or ghosts, but there is still one thing she is afraid of: her grandma, Mrs. Xiao, who single-handedly raised her.

Besides? Mrs. Xiao has always had a calm and controlled temperament and rarely gets angry.

As long as he strikes hard, it will be like a roaring mountain and a tsunami? Is it a thunderous earthquake? Jin Jin droops his head? He doesn't even dare to breathe out.

This is also natural. The trouble was caused by herself, right now? Her hands and little face are still dark.

When the fire started, black smoke shot out instantly. Although Yang Jinjin was agile, he was not harmed.

But it is inevitable to be affected? It has become a little black cat.

She had never seen Empress Xiao so angry since she returned to Chang'an City. Naturally, she was even more frightened. She muttered, but she didn't dare to talk back.

Completely different from her previous style.

"What did you say?"

"Louder!"

"Grandma, I didn't do anything wrong. This is entirely because the firewood in the house is not good and I am inexperienced."

"If I try a few more times, this kind of thing will definitely not happen."

"I'll try a few more times, I hope you can speak out!"

Empress Xiao was so angry that her head felt dizzy. After hearing her words, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

I simply sat down. After all, Jin Jin is also a young lady. Apart from scolding her a few times, there seems to be no better way to punish her. It can't be a slap in the face.

But at this moment, the boy in charge ran over to deliver a message. When Empress Xiao raised her eyes, the first thing she saw was Shen An.

hiss……

"Why is he here?"

"Grandma, what did you say?" Jin Jin didn't hear Empress Xiao's murmur clearly. When she turned around, she was even more frightened than Empress Xiao.

In one swift step, he rushed behind Grandma.

Now that guests have arrived, Jin Jin can no longer be punished. Empress Xiao put on a smile, but at this time, Xiao Xian had already rushed forward and hugged Empress Xiao's waist.

"Grandma, I miss you so much. Why don't you come and sit at home?" He rubbed Empress Xiao's clothes affectionately.

No matter how cold-hearted Empress Xiao is when such a little baby comes forward to act coquettishly, she still can't keep a straight face.

Empress Xiao looked at Shen An and pulled her hand: "Jin Jin, come out quickly!"

Jin Jin didn't want to come out, so he hugged Grandma's waist and even harder.

"Grandma, I won't come out."

"I'm going back!"

She shrank her head behind her grandma and refused to come out. Shen An didn't expect that she would still be so cowardly.

"Why don't you come out? Mr. Shen is here to see you!"

Empress Xiao is an open-minded person, and if Shen An doesn't come to the door, she won't take the initiative to invite him over. After all, she is a person who is engaged, so she still has to worry about some influence.

However, now that she has come, she will not be shy.

After all, she was the one she liked. Even though she was fearless, she was still a little shy and didn't know how to face Shen An.

If two people get along alone, she can cope with it easily. No matter how she behaves or what she says, no one else will hear or see it.

Naturally, I won't be laughed at.

You know, she still needs face.

But now, she is in her own home, surrounded by her servants and servants, if they see her embarrassment.

That’s okay!

Shen An sat down. Comparing the two, he seemed to be generous and not embarrassed at all.

"Shen Lang came here specially, there must be something important." Empress Xiao said straight to the point.

Mr. Shen?

Is this the man who is engaged to his wife?

Oh oh, it is indeed majestic and unique.

Regardless of whether they saw that Shen An was unusual, they would definitely think that Shen An was not an ordinary person.

Of course, it is impossible for a man to readily agree to accept his golden son!

Without courage and courage, I would have run away with my baggage!

Ever since I heard this name, there have been more whispers among the servants and servants in the mansion, and there have been waves of people strolling around the main hall.

Those who had something to do and those who had nothing to do all pretended to be busy and made excuses to go around and secretly listen to their conversation.

Everyone is curious about Shen An and wants to see who this strange man is.

Empress Xiao didn't stop her, she just watched it if she wanted to. Shen An also looked indifferent, so why should she be reserved?

The slave brought fragrant tea. Although everyone present drank it with gusto and seemed to be unsatisfied, Shen Ande felt completely different.

This tea is really tasteless.

Tea, a national quintessence, was popular in the Tang Dynasty. It can be traced back to the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Even though it was popular all over the country, tea was only a high-end luxury product.
