The King of Goryeo bowed and introduced him to all the officials in the court. There were titles such as Leader, Left and Right Assent, Judge, Minister, Assistant Minister, etc. These titles were all strange and complicated, giving Official Lin, who had always prided himself on his intelligence, a headache.
Finally, he saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was Prince Li Chengcheng who came to China to propose to Princess Nichang.
Lin Wanrong remembered that the two of them used to compete with each other and he even teased him a few times. He could not help but smile at him.
Li Chengcheng was a little embarrassed. Previously, when he came to China to pay his respects, he even flaunted his prowess in front of Lin San. He did not expect that in just half a year, the situation would be completely reversed. When Lin San came to Goryeo, not only did he have to receive the cheers of the crowd, even his own father had to walk behind him, attentive, attentive, and respectful. The contrast was too strong.
The King of Goryeo saw him staring at Li Chengcheng in silence and hurriedly said, "Marshal Lin, this is my dog Chengcheng, I hope you can take care of me!"
"I recognize him, I recognize him," Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "We met in the capital in the past. Little Prince, how are you? I haven't seen you for a few months and you have become even more handsome, almost catching up to me! "
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Li Chengcheng cupped his fists awkwardly and bowed, not daring to raise his head.
Looking at Li Chengcheng, he remembered the Goryeo palace maid who came to China with him to propose. Li Chengcheng had promised to give Xu Zhangjin to him as a maid, but now he understood that it was just a trick played by the Goryeo people.
Lin Wanrong chuckled and under the repeated invitations of the King of Goryeo, he reluctantly boarded the magnificent carriage. The King of Goryeo stood beside him and held his sleeves attentively, personally accompanying Sir Lin into the city.
Han Seong City was the capital of Goryeo. The tall city walls stretched far and wide. Although it had just been through the flames of war, one could still vaguely see the past prosperity.
Both sides of the road were filled with people cheering. All the citizens of Han Seong City came out to the streets and sang and danced around the horses. They warmly welcomed the arrival of China's Marshal Lin. From the grand scene, it could be seen that the Koreans had indeed prepared meticulously to welcome him.
The Goryeo Palace was located in the eastern corner of Seoul. Although it could be considered beautiful, compared to the Imperial Palace of China, it was far from being on the same level in terms of scale and exquisiteness.
After entering the main hall, they were seated according to the host and the guest. The palace maids first served steaming hot ginseng tea for the honored guests to taste.
The King of Korea personally introduced the history of the war against the Japanese pirates and the current situation on the island to the guests. Naturally, it was the Korean warriors who fought bravely and killed the enemy. The China's loyal and brave army also played a role.
Lin Wanrong found it funny, but he was too lazy to refute him. He did not care about these empty titles, the most important thing was the tangible benefits. As long as China's loyal and brave army was stationed in Korea, everything would be under his control.
After listening to the King of Gaoli talk about the power of the nation, it was Marshal Lin's turn to give a speech. He only said that he was here to express his condolences to the brave and loyal army of China and to pay a visit to a peerless genius. Hearing that he did not have any special requests, the Korean officials heaved a long sigh of relief and the atmosphere became relaxed.
After that, it was a grand lunch. In order to welcome his arrival, the people of Korea really put in a lot of effort. Not to mention the traditional cold dishes, they even specially prepared many traditional China delicacies. It was a sumptuous feast.
The beautiful palace maids swayed their waists and danced happily in front of the guests. They danced cheerfully in front of the guests.
The King of Korea and the officials raised their cups. They welcomed Marshal Lin's arrival in unison, and their expressions were very earnest.
The alcohol content of the wine was extremely low. Lin Wanrong drank a few cups and was still very sober. On the other hand, the people of Korea were red in the face from drinking. The court was bustling with noise and excitement.
When the last dish was served, the originally drunk Goryeo officials instantly opened their eyes wide, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.
The King of Korea stood up and walked in front of him. He personally opened the lid of the soup: "Marshal, please take a look. This is the best food of Korea. It is something that China does not have. It is called Medicinal Cuisine! It is made with white fruits, Korean ginseng, snow shells from the bottom of the sea, bear paws from the mountains and a few other precious herbs. It can calm the heart, clear the eyes, and soothe the lungs. It is the most precious medicinal cuisine! In the whole of Korea, there are less than 100 people who are qualified to taste it! "
There was a pot of clear soup in the small soup bowl. It had a faint fragrance and was very tempting. The Grand Mistress tasted it and was pleasantly surprised. She kept nodding her head.
Lin Wanrong heard this and laughed. The King of Korea was very knowledgeable when talking about medicinal cuisine. It seemed that he was quite knowledgeable in eating.
He raised the spoon and tasted a few mouthfuls. The medicinal cuisine had a faint fragrance of herbs. It was very sweet and delicious. The King of Korea was not bragging.
Seeing him nodding his head slightly, the King of Korea had a proud look on his face: "Marshal, how is the taste?"
"It's not bad!" Lin Wanrong smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, may I ask which chef made this medicinal cuisine? Can I meet her? "
"This …" The King of Korea hesitated for a while before saying: "This medicinal cuisine is made by a pharmacist from Si Xiang Courtyard. She has something urgent to attend to and has left the palace! I'm afraid I won't be able to find her in a short time! "
The King of Goryeo's words were evasive. Obviously, there was more to it than meets the eye. Lin Wanrong replied calmly, "Is that so? I didn't expect that it would be so difficult for me to come all the way here just to meet this expert who cooks medicinal cuisine! Sigh, I can only blame my bad luck for making things difficult for Your Majesty! "
The King of Korea could hear the sarcasm in his words. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Marshal, there is no need for me to hide anything from a smart person like you! I believe you have guessed who made this medicinal cuisine. However, she left the palace after making the medicinal cuisine. This is absolutely true. "
"Left the palace? Why? "Lin Wanrong asked anxiously.
The King of Korea sighed and said in a low voice, "Since we have come to this point, I will not hide it from you anymore. This pharmacist was not willing to meet you at first. I had to urge her several times before she reluctantly agreed to make the medicinal cuisine for the esteemed guest. She also said that she would leave the palace after making the medicinal cuisine and I agreed to it. "
Lin Wanrong was annoyed: "Why didn't she want to meet me? What is the meaning of this? Furthermore, you are her blood relative. You are her relative. Why is she not willing to give you face? "
From Marshal Lin's words, he already knew the identity of this pharmacist. The King of Korea smiled awkwardly: "Don't blame her. She is usually smart, beautiful, and kind. Everyone in Korea likes her. However, these few days. When she heard that you have arrived at Guang Zhou, she became quiet and did not know what to do. When she is free, she is either crying or laughing. I don't know what happened to her. "
Either crying or laughing? These few words. A lively little palace maid appeared in front of him.
Lin Wanrong was silent for a while. He sighed: "Forget it. Since she is not willing to meet me, I will go and see her! There are some things that have to be made clear. We can't leave everything unclear. Don't you agree, Your Majesty? "
Although he did not say it out loud, the two of them had a tacit understanding. After saying these few words, he became closer to the King of Goryeo.
The King nodded. He sighed: "But I promised her that I will not tell you where she lives. Of course I have to keep my promise — —"
Seeing Marshal Lin's anxious expression, the King of Korea quickly waved his hand. He smiled: "Don't panic. Listen to me first. As the King of Korea, I have to keep my promise. Otherwise, how can I face my subjects? But I won't tell you. That doesn't mean others have to keep their mouths shut. Just get a guard to draw a map for you. Isn't that enough? "
What a cunning old man! Lin Wanrong laughed out loud.
After discussing this matter, he was no longer in the mood to enjoy the feast. The King of Korea also understood his thoughts. The lunch banquet ended early.
He left the palace with Xiao Yuruo. The Grand Mistress smiled: "You and the King of Korea are whispering and acting suspiciously. What are you talking about? Are you trying to recognize your relatives? "
Lin Wanrong was stunned. Suddenly, he kissed her smooth cheek and said: "If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought about it! It turns out that I am related to the King of Gaoli. What a shame! "
"What are you ashamed of? You are selectively forgetting! "The Grand Mistress rolled her eyes at him. She shook her head and smiled. Her husband's personality was really infuriating and she loved him to death.
Hanseong Prefecture was the capital of Korea. Although the flames of war had just been extinguished. The market had recovered and people were coming and going. It was bustling with people peddling and shouting.
Xiao Yuruo looked around as they walked. After a long time, she finally couldn't take it anymore. She pulled his sleeve and said softly: "Lin Lang — —"
"Hmm?" Lin Lang's heart was floating and he responded happily.
"That's strange." The Grand Mistress leaned on him and carefully looked at the passersby. She lowered her voice and said: "The appearance of the Koreans seems to be the same — —"
Lin Wanrong blinked her eyes and whispered in her ear, "You found out about such a secretive thing? Grand Mistress darling, I'm not praising you, but you are almost as smart as your husband! "
Xiao Yuruo was embarrassed and happy at the same time. She pinched his arm and laughed. Her heart was indescribably happy! The biggest advantage of this husband of hers was that no matter when, as long as she was with him, she would always be extremely happy!
The two of them whispered to each other along the way. It was very sweet.
When they reached the center of the market, there were more and more people. Her husband looked around and nodded. He said seriously: "I'm lost! It's time to look at the guide! "
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket. On it, there were a few streets drawn together. It was a map that the King of Korea had asked someone to draw for him before he left the palace.
He looked at it and suddenly frowned.
The Grand Mistress saw his hesitation and couldn't help but laugh: "What guide? There are only a few streets in this Hanseong Prefecture and you're already lost? The grassland is so big, but I've never seen you go the wrong way! "
"In any case, I'm going abroad. It's inevitable to get lost!" He laughed and pretended not to smell the faint jealousy. He pointed at the white paper and said: "Grand Mistress, you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Let me ask you, how do you pronounce these words?"
The world famous Lin San actually had a time when he couldn't read? Xiao Yuruo was shocked. She looked at it and suddenly became angry. She punched his arm a few times and said: "You bastard, you're purposely messing with me! This is obviously Korean. How can I read it? "
Lin Wanrong smiled and patted her face. "It's okay if you don't know it. Just ask someone."
He quickly jumped forward and blocked in front of a Korean. "Hi, uncle, how are you? Sorry to disturb you, but can you understand what I'm saying? If you don't understand, please shake your head! "
The Korean uncle shook his head obediently. The Grand Mistress couldn't help but giggle.
Lin Wanrong's eyes widened and pointed at the few Korean words on the map. "Uncle, what do these words mean?"
"Turn left!" The Korean said in broken Chinese.
Turn left? Does that mean that the other sentence is to turn right? Lin Wanrong slapped the map angrily. Where did the King of Korea find the guards? He had never seen such a stupid person. Why did he need to write? Wouldn't he just draw an arrow?
The Grand Mistress was shocked. She looked at the Korean and said: "You can speak Chinese?"
"The loyal and brave army is stationed in Korea. I heard that their marshal is coming to visit. Our Han Cheng Prefecture's people have to learn a few words of Chinese. This is the order of the King."
"Thank you, thank you!" Marshal Lin put his hands together and expressed his gratitude.
Following the gatha, the two of them passed through the streets and alleys of the Han Cheng Prefecture. After walking for a few miles, their eyes suddenly lit up. A spacious Korean residence appeared in front of them.
There was a small building in the middle. It was quiet and elegant. There was a small pot hanging in front of the door.
There was a long queue in front of the building. Many of them were patients. They looked at the curtains in anticipation, but no one dared to make a noise. The building was silent. No one knew who was sitting inside.
From the small pot hanging and the queue outside, it was obvious that this was a clinic. Which divine physician from the Medicine Nation was treating patients here? How could so many patients come here out of admiration?
"This is called practicing medicine to help the people!" The Grand Mistress sighed and looked at him. She said helplessly: "Only this master can treat Lin Lang's illness!"
