Chapter 560: The Great Lover
"Jinyu, it's so happy to be your good friend."
Jiang Cheng held the chopsticks and ate the delicious food in front of him with relish.
Although he had tasted many flower delicacies because of Shen Huazheng, this was the first time he ate flower dumplings.
I originally thought that only flowers like chrysanthemums, peach blossoms, and plum blossoms could be used in cooking, but I didn’t expect that locust flowers and leaves could also be used in cooking.
And it’s so delicious.
Jiang Cheng has now become Shen Keting's regular dining partner, the kind that can't be gotten rid of.
He knew that the food at home was not as good as the one at the Shen residence, so he would have someone stew some soup with the best ingredients every day and send it to the Hanlin Academy.
He and Shen Keting each got one.
At noon today, people from the Shen residence sent Shen Ke Ting two large portions of dumplings, one portion of locust leaf tofu and one portion of locust flower scrambled eggs, and one portion of locust flower egg pancake.
Shen Keting gave half of it to Jiang Cheng according to the old custom, and Jiang Cheng also brought the bowl of soup that belonged to Shen Keting to him.
After exchanging food, the two of them started eating.
Jiang Cheng ate another dumpling and couldn't help but sigh, "This dumpling is so delicious! Sweet and delicious, salty and juicy, even better than the mutton dumplings I had at the food court last time!"
These dumplings are really delicious, but they are not very filling.
He ate one bite at a time and was almost done.
Shen Ke Ting's expression remained unchanged, but he was no less surprised than Jiang Cheng. This was the first time he had tasted these foods.
He chewed the dumplings carefully, feeling the subtle fragrance between his lips and teeth.
It is indeed delicious.
Shen Keting ate a few locust flower dumplings and tasted a bite of locust leaf tofu.
The tofu is smooth and tender, and the locust leaves are fragrant and refreshing.
I didn’t expect that the combination of tofu and locust leaves, two completely unrelated ingredients, would be so perfect.
Shen Ke Ting looked at the delicious dishes on the table and suddenly smiled.
How did Zheng'er discover the various ways to eat these flowers and leaves?

Shen House
Shen Huazheng peeled the shell of the shrimp, dipped it in a little special sauce, and put it into her mouth.
She chewed the plump and delicious shrimp meat carefully, feeling the delicious taste in her mouth.
Compared with male prawns, Shen Huazheng prefers to eat female ones.
Because the female shrimp has roe, it tastes smoother and more refreshing.
In the old world, every spring, gourmets would wait for the shrimps to go on the market, especially those with eggs.
The shrimps are bred in the soft spring breeze and swim to the confluence of fresh and salt water to lay eggs.
The shrimps with eggs taste twice as delicious.
Take a bite, and the deliciousness of seafood and the delicacy of river fish burst on your tongue at the same time, making you unable to stop.
While eating the delicacies on the table, Zhou continued to tell the bloody story of He Qiming and Shen Shu.
When Lady Yong'an heard that He Qiming wanted to marry her, she became extremely anxious.
Her first reaction was that He Qiming might have secretly gotten married to someone else outside, and that this would cause trouble for the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion again.
After asking carefully, she finally found out the reason.
It turned out that He Qiming was always hanging out with his gang of friends outside, and one day, for some reason, he suddenly went out to drink with others.
Moreover, he lost the fight.
When He Qiming and that person were drinking together, they had an agreement that whoever lost would be the other person's follower for five days.
In this way, He Qiming became that man's follower.
The two of them bickered from time to time, and five days passed quickly.
On the last day, He Qiming suddenly discovered that the person was actually a woman disguised as a man.
At this moment, He Qiming suddenly found that he had different feelings for that person.
And the other party also has feelings for him.
On a romantic spring afternoon, the two expressed their true feelings to each other, and He Qiming decided to ask his family to go to her house to propose.
Shen Huazheng: (⊙?⊙)
He Qiming is truly a romantic man.
It’s only been a short time, and this guy has fallen in love again?
He still has a long life ahead of him, and he doesn't know how much "true love" he will encounter.
Those who specialize in writing romance novels will definitely have an inexhaustible library of materials as long as they keep an eye on He Qiming.
"So, who is he going to marry?"
She was really a little curious about who could defeat Shen Shu in such a short time.
Zhou Ying also wanted to know which girl would dress up as a man and compete in drinking with others.
He also made a bet with this and asked the other party to be his follower.
Zhou was silent for a moment: "The daughter of Yishuibo."
The daughter of Yishuibo?
Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were both stunned, then their eyes widened.
Wait, isn't Yishuibo's daughter engaged to He Qiming's younger brother, He Qiwei?
Moreover, it seems that Yishuibo has only one daughter.
Shen Huazheng, who had read countless melodramatic novels and scripts, was racing. Could this be another one of those two-man-for-one-woman dramas?
Ever since He Qiming made a big fuss in order to cancel his engagement, he has become a celebrity in the capital.
At first, Lady Yong'an was worried about He Qiming's marriage and wanted to find him a wife from a suitable family background.
But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find the right person.
Everyone in the capital city knows that He Qiming has someone he loves dearly, and for this person, he is willing to do many shameful things.
Noble families all want to save face. The He family itself has good conditions, but no one wants to have a son-in-law like He Qiming.
If they really got married, who knew if he would go crazy again like last time and kneel at the door begging for an end to the engagement?
By then, it would be really embarrassing to be seen on the street.
Later, when He Qiming married Shen Shu, no one was willing to marry him anymore.
Noble ladies are not stupid. Even if they allow their husbands to take concubines, that is something that happens after they get married.
Which decent family doesn't marry a wife first and then take a concubine?
He Qiming hadn't even married yet, but he was eager to marry Shen Shu.
This shows how important Shen Shu is in his mind.
Even if you marry him, you probably won't have a good life in the future. I'm afraid you won't even get the most basic respect.
After being rejected so many times, Lady Yong'an gave up the idea.
Later, He Qiming went out to hang out every day and completely turned into a puddle of mud.
The Yong'an Earl and his wife were completely disappointed with their eldest son and simply stopped caring about him.
I thought He Qiming would just stay quietly on the ground and be the mud, but who knew he would get up and make trouble again.
Zhou Ying couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, isn't Yishui Bo's daughter engaged to He Qiwei?"
She had met the girl before. She was lively and cute, but also steady.
She doesn't look like someone who would dress up as a man to drink with men and secretly get married.
However, Yishuibo had only one daughter.
Zhou sighed softly, "She's the daughter Yishui Bo just adopted. It's said that Yishui Bo's wife was in the countryside when she gave birth. She gave birth to twin daughters, but one of them was stolen by the midwife."
Zhou Ying's eyes were filled with surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
Zhou: "I heard that the Yishui Marquis's Mansion is planning to hold a banquet to let everyone know that the other daughter of the Marquis' Mansion has returned."
Shen Huazheng:!!!
Why does this sound a bit like the plot of True and False Daughter?
Could it be that the wife of the Earl of Yishui didn't give birth to twins at all, but one of them was a fake?
"Mom, He Qiming was injured by Shen Shu because of this, right?"
If Shen Shu knew about this, she would probably be furious.
In order to marry He Qiming, Shen Shu can be said to have given it all.
Otherwise, she would not have knelt at the door of the general's mansion and begged the Yan family to cancel the engagement.
At that time, she must have felt that she and He Qiming were true love,
It hasn't been long since then, and He Qiming's love has shifted again.
In fact, Shen Huazheng wanted to know more about how Shen Shu had hurt He Qiming.
Zhou nodded. "Shen Shu heard the news from somewhere and rushed to He Qiming to question him. The two of them started arguing, and while they were arguing, Shen Shu suddenly took out a knife..."
Thinking of the situation described by Lady Yong'an, she still felt a little creepy.
It is said that Shen Shu was very strong and several servants couldn't hold her back. She was like a madman.
When Shen Shu was finally pulled away, He Qiming was already lying in a pool of blood.
If the doctor had not arrived in time, He Qiming might have died there.
Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were both silent. It was true that lust was a sword hanging over one's head.
This should be a painful lesson for He Qiming.
It’s really hard to describe He Qiming.
As for Shen Shu and Yishui Bo's newly found daughter...it's hard to comment.
It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together, and He Qiming is indeed a good match for these two people.
Fortunately, Yan Yan did not marry He Qiming, otherwise she would be too busy beating up scumbags every day.
He also has to deal with all his other girls.
