Chapter 117: Hare Girl
Xie Fuya didn't expect that she kindly invited Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue to stay and eat roast lamb shank, but she was forced to ask by Wu Ruyue because of the condiment! Even Zhao Qinghui questioned the way she looked at her.
Xie Fuya was unhappy in her heart, and at the same time laughed at herself.
"Why didn't the county lord answer the county lord's question?" Wu Ruyue couldn't get the answer Xie Fuya gave, and her heart felt like a cat scratching!
Wu Ruyue likes Cheng Song, and since she was seven or eight years old, she began to like this beautiful, brave and resourceful brother of the Cheng family! It's just that a few years have passed, her face is smooth and flat, without any scars, and Cheng Song's "promise" to marry her is gone!
Ignoring the reserve of her daughter's family, she chased from Xiguan to the capital, and then chased him to the Liang Wangfu to ask him why he didn't fulfill his promise, but Cheng Song told her, "That's just nonsense when a child is ignorant"! Wu Ruyue can't accept Cheng Song's quibbles, she has always wanted to be his wife, his wife, and the future Duchess of Luguo!
Cheng Song's refusal did not make Wu Ruyue flinch, she lived in the mansion of her grandfather Fenyang Marquis, and became a handkerchief with the county lord of Minyi through Xiao Jiu's cousin. Because she heard that Cheng Song often went in and out of King Liang's mansion and was friends with Zhao Xi, the fourth son of King Liang. It's a pity that she went to Liang Wangfu several times but couldn't meet Cheng Song, and a few days ago I heard that he and Zhao Xi went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs!
Zhao Qinghui heard the fourth brother Zhao Xi mention that his cousin Xie Fuya had broken his foot in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and was worried, so he told Wu Ruyue about it. Wu Ruyue inquired and found that the Zhuangzi where Cheng Song and Zhao Xi went happened to be next to Yunhezhuang, where the Jingyi county lord lived, so she encouraged Zhao Qinghui to go out of Beijing to visit Xie Fuya, but she actually wanted to try to see if she could meet Cheng Song on Zhuangzi!
Zhao Qinghui is gentle by nature, and she is not honored among the nobles of the high family just because she is the county lord, which is also the reason why the county lord of Fulan can be domineering on her head. Not long after Wu Ruyue intersected with her, she knew that Zhao Qinghui also liked Cheng Song!
Wu Ruyue heard from her cousin Xiao Jiu that the old lady of the Lu Guogong Mansion didn't want to find a granddaughter-in-law who was too high-born. And in order to avoid suspicion, Lu Guogong will not let his son marry the county lord of Minyi. Therefore, Zhao Qinghui is destined to have no chance with Cheng Song, but he can provide himself with the opportunity to meet Cheng Song, and Wu Ruyue really made a handkerchief with Zhao Qinghui.
Originally, Wu Ruyue looked down on Xie Fuya, a divorced woman! The only difference between the woman and the divorced husband's family is that the former is slightly more decent, and in the eyes of outsiders, the husband and wife separated because of discord, rather than being divorced because the woman had any fault. But Princess Anyang has always oppressed people with her identity, and her daughter's harmony was caused by her entering the palace to cry and complain, so Emperor Xuanwen ordered Xie Fuya to reconcile with Cai Erye, who knows if there is any bias behind this!
Wu Ruyue despised Xie Fuya and thought that she could meet Cheng Song by chance, so she followed Zhao Qinghui to Yunhezhuang. I don't want to taste Cheng Song's exclusive secret here! She was really shocked and angry!
How could this Heli Jingyi County Lord have Cheng Song's barbecue secrets? Although there is a difference in taste, Wu Ruyue can taste it! It is precisely because of the difference that it proves that the person who matches the ingredients according to the recipe, and there are small differences in the combination of various flavors, so it is not exactly the same!
Thinking that I heard that Cheng Song and Zhao Xi had come to play in the Cheng family Zhuangzi next to Yunhezhuang, could it be that the county lord of Jingyi was also there at that time?
The more Wu Ruyue thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she wished Xie Fuya would deny it quickly!
Xie Fuya looked at Wu Ruyue's angry appearance, and she became more and more calm and unhurried.
"The list of condiments was given to me by my brother. Xie Fuya poured herself another cup of sour plum juice, at this time she had no appetite to eat lamb shank, and she didn't want Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue to eat it!
Xie Fuya knew that Zhao Qinghui liked Cheng Song, but she didn't expect that she would be suspicious of herself because she liked a man and was prodded by others. It is false to say that I am not disappointed, but I am somewhat relieved.
As soon as Zhao Qinghui heard that Xie Fuya's recipe for this condiment was brought back by Xie Zhuo, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I think Cousin Zhuo got it from Cheng Shizi." ”
Zhao Qinghui looked at Wu Ruyue when she said this, looking appeased. She thought that Wu Ruyue was so angry for her, because Wu Ruyue knew that she liked Cheng Song.
Wu Ruyue is not as perfunctory as Zhao Qinghui!
At the beginning, Wu Ruyue's two elder brothers bluntly said that Cheng Song was a stingy ghost and refused to hand over the barbecue secret ingredients to everyone to share, even if she went to ask for it in person, she didn't get it. Will the elder brother of the county lord of Jingyi have a deeper friendship with Cheng Song than the brothers of the Wu family?
"As far as I know, Cheng Song attaches great importance to this secret recipe, even if his fellow brothers who are friends in Xiguan want it, he refuses to give it. Wu Ruyue snorted coldly, "I don't know what kind of relationship the county lord's brother has with him, is it a lifelong friendship?"
Repeatedly questioned Wu Ruyue, Xie Fuya was annoyed and decided not to bear it anymore!
The cup of sour plum juice in Xie Fuya's hand slammed heavily on the table.
"The county lord. Seeing that the master finally broke out, she hurriedly stepped forward and wiped the sour plum juice on Xie Fuya's hand with a handkerchief and persuaded her, "You have always been in poor health, don't worry about some unworthy people and things." It's better to leave the roast leg of lamb to Da Yang and the Zhuang Ding, and you go back to rest and rest. When they're done, they'll be sent to the yard for you to taste. ”
Xie Fuya wanted to ridicule Wu Ruyue for a few words, but she was interrupted by Rushi and calmed down.
The Marquis of Pingxi was a military general stationed in Xiguan, and he had a lot of weight in the eyes of Emperor Xuanwen! There was also a concubine Xiao Zhuang in the mansion of the Marquis of Fenyang in Beijing, although she was not very favored, but she was also the concubine who gave birth to the prince and princess. Cheng Song is just an outsider, and there is no need for him to be unhappy with the Pingxi Hou and Fenyang Hou because of an outsider. But she won't be used to Wu Ruyue being so rude to herself!
"I think the county lord and Miss Wu have no intention of eating meat, so it's better to go back to Beijing as soon as possible while the morning is dawning. Xie Fuya looked up at Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue, "I have inconvenient legs and feet, so I won't send the two." Rushi, go and talk to Luo's mother, and make good arrangements and escort the county lord and Miss Wu from the village. ”
"Yes, county lord. Rushi asked the little girl Ruchun, Ruqiu and Ruyi to come over and wait for Xie Fuya, and then blessed Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue, "The county lord, Miss Wu, and the slave maid took the two of them back." ”
Zhao Qinghui was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise and anxiety: "Cousin......, what's the matter?" Sister Wu and I were only interested in the origin of this condiment, and we didn't mean to offend my cousin. Don't be angry, cousin. ”
Xie Fuya said coldly: "The county lord is serious, how can I be angry with you?" It's just that I'm not interested, and it's not good for the two of you to look at my cold face, so please go back!"
Zhao Qinghui saw that Xie Fuya was really angry, and her eyes were red with regret and grievance.
Wu Ruyue hasn't gotten the answer she wants yet, but she can also see Xie Fuya's dissatisfaction!
Everyone has issued an order to evict customers, and it will be embarrassing if he insists on not leaving, so he pulled Zhao Qinghui and said hatefully: "Don't be sad, the county lord, I'll roast the leg of lamb for you to eat in Ming'er! I'll go to Cheng Song to ask for this condiment! If he doesn't give it, I'll ask him why he gave it to Xie Zhuo!"
Xie Fuya glanced at Wu Ruyue coldly, and said with a sneer: "Miss Wu is so powerful, let's try it." In fact, I admire Miss Wu's courage to speak and do, and her straightforward and bold temperament. ”
Wu Ruyue, who was about to pull Zhao Qinghui away, frowned, and turned to look at Xie Fuya, "What do you mean by that?"
Xie Fuya raised her hand to comb her hair that was slightly messy by the wind, looked at Da Yang, who was still shaking the leg of lamb in the distance, and said with a smile: "I heard that the young Cheng Shizi accidentally injured Miss Wu by mistake, thinking that it would make Miss Wu break and unable to marry, so he said that if this is the case, he will marry Miss Wu." But later, Miss Wu's injuries healed and did not leave any scars, and Cheng Shizi never mentioned this matter again. Miss Wu came to the capital alone, could it be to let Cheng Shizi fulfill what he said back then?"
After Xie Fuya's words were finished, Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue turned pale at the same time!
"You...... How did you...... Did Cheng Song tell you?" Wu Ruyue was ashamed and annoyed, and asked Xie Fuya loudly in anger.
Xie Fuya turned her head to look at Wu Ruyue and hooked the corners of her mouth, "Miss Wu can go and ask Cheng Song." ”
"You...... You call him Cheng Song?" Wu Ruyue pointed at Xie Fuya and said in shock.
Xie Fuya was too lazy to quarrel with Wu Ruyue again, and waved her hand to Rushi and said, "Hurry up and send the county lord and Miss Wu away, so as not to be safe to walk at night when it is late." ”
This time, there was no need to invite such a poem, Wu Ruyue and Zhao Qinghui turned around and left.
Xie Fuya looked at Zhao Qinghui's stumbling back when she was pulled by Wu Ruyue, and couldn't help sighing.
Sooner or later, he was opposed to King Liang, and the sisterhood between himself and Zhao Qinghui could not last long. It's good that there is a gap this time, and it is good not to interact with each other in the future.
Zhao Qinghui was pulled by Wu Ruyue's wrist pain, and her mind was full of Xie Fuya's saying that Cheng Song had promised to marry Wu Ruyue, but she was pulled away by Wu Ruyue without reacting!
When he came back to his senses, Zhao Qinghui broke away from Wu Ruyue's hand with all his might!
"County Lord?" Wu Ruyue stopped and looked back at Zhao Qinghui's increasingly cold face, "...... you?"
Rushi, who was walking in front, had to stop, but did not approach them.
Zhao Qinghui's beautiful eyes roamed around Wu Ruyue's face for a long time before she asked, "Sister Wu, you also like Cheng Shizi, right?"
Wu Ruyue's face was pale for a while, and then a red cloud floated. She said angrily: "The county lord don't listen to the nonsense of the county lord of Jingyi, I ...... Cheng Song and I were just ...... when we were children."
"Cousin Fuya said that Cheng Shizi once injured you by mistake and was afraid that you would not be able to marry in the future, saying that she wanted to marry you, is this true?" Zhao Qinghui interrupted Wu Ruyue's words and asked in a deep voice.
Wu Ruyue pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "It's true, Cheng Song said that he would marry me!"
Wu Ruyue bit the word "will marry me" very hard, and the look on her face was also very firm! It seems that Cheng Song will definitely marry her if she says this!
Zhao Qinghui's heart hurt as if someone had twisted it hard! She thought she had found a good friend other than Cousin Fuya, but now it seems that this is not the case!
"Then you also like Cheng Shizi now, do you want him to marry you?" Zhao Qinghui asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
Wu Ruyue gritted her teeth and secretly hated Xie Fuya for exposing her own affairs! But how could that woman know about the past?
"I'm sorry, Lord Shire. "Wu Ruyue doesn't want to deceive Zhao Qinghui, and she doesn't want to back down because the other party is the county lord!" "I really like Cheng Song, he is a man of his word, I am waiting for him to marry me!"
Zhao Qinghui's figure swayed slightly, and she was a little unstable!
"County Lord!" Rushi hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize Zhao Qinghui, "What's wrong with the County Lord?"
Zhao Qinghui grabbed Rushi's arm to stabilize her body, and tears had already slipped down her eyes.
"Since you like Cheng Shizi, why are you friends with me?" Zhao Qinghui choked up, "I still ...... I said those things to you, they must have been a joke in your eyes, right?"
Wu Ruyue didn't feel very comfortable in her heart, although she really approached Zhao Qinghui with the idea of using it at the beginning, she also really liked Zhao Qinghui's gentleness and innocence. It is even more comfortable and happier to get along with the county lord of Minyi than with those cousins of the Hou Mansion of Fenyang......! But they fell in love with the same man after all! Now that everything has been revealed, they can't be friends anymore.
Wu Ruyue turned her head and said, "I think the county lord must not want to go back to Beijing in the same carriage with me, so I will ride back by myself!"
After saying that, Wu Ruyue strode away.
Zhao Qinghui leaned on Rushi and cried softly, and Rushi didn't know what to do for a while. Do you want to send such a Minyi county lord to the carriage and let her go back to Beijing?
Thinking that Fang was just now on the grassland, the county lord of Minyi and the girl Wu questioned the situation of their master, Rushi hardened her heart and coaxed Zhao Qinghui twice, and carried people back to the front of Zhuangzi.
The servants and maids brought by Luo's mother and Zhao Qinghui had already received the letter and were waiting there, and when they saw the county lord's appearance, they were all frightened, and they hurriedly stepped forward to support the people.
Zhao Qinghui returned to Beijing in a carriage and escorted by the palace guards. And Wu Ruyue borrowed a horse from the palace guards and left by herself.
When he came, he hurriedly didn't notice in advance, and he left in a hurry. The county lord of Minyi and the Wu girl of the Pingxi Hou Mansion came and went, as if a gust of wind was blowing, which brought a little unhappiness but quickly dissipated.
Xie Fuya finally roasted the leg of mutton to eat, Da Yang's craftsmanship is not bad, with the dry ingredients she has adjusted several times, the unique delicacy of roast mutton permeates the teeth, and the aftertaste is endless!
Xie Fuya's appetite was limited, and most of the two legs of mutton fell into the mouths of Da Yang and Zhuang Ding, and some meat was distributed to Luo's mother.
After returning to the courtyard and rinsing his hands, Rushi settled Xie Fuya before telling his master that Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue seemed to have fallen out.
Xie Fuya sneered slightly when she heard this, she said those words in front of Zhao Qinghui for this result! If Wu Ruyue had a clear conscience and was truly friends with Zhao Qinghui, she would definitely try her best to clarify and explain. Zhao Qinghui is a simple girl, as long as Wu Ruyue explains that she is eight times out of ten, she will believe it.
But Wu Ruyue obviously didn't really want to be friends with Zhao Qinghui, so she chose to ride her horse back to Beijing. I'm afraid that the "friendship" between the two will end here.
**
Cheng Song didn't know that the list of barbecue secrets he gave out at will had caused such a turmoil, and after he returned to Beijing from Zhuangzi, he went headlong into the Nanda camp, where he ate, lodging, and practiced for four or five days! If it weren't for the little guy Jixiang kneeling down with a handful of snot and tears and begging him to go back to the mansion, he would have wanted to stay for a few more days!
On the first night of entering the Nanda camp, Cheng Song actually had a shameful dream! He dreamed that he was chasing a hare on the pasture, and after chasing the hare in front of him, he turned into a beautiful girl...... The black hair is like a waterfall, and the figure is slim! In the dream, I didn't seem to be surprised that the hare turned into a girl, but chased after it even harder!
Seeing that he could touch the corner of the girl's clothes, Cheng Song jumped hard and knocked the hare girl down from behind! The two rolled on the grass several times before stopping, and he pressed tightly against the hare girl's body! The black hair covered most of the girl's face, making him unable to see her true face, but her eyes as bright and cunning as stars made him very familiar!
Gently brushing the hair from the hare girl's face and seeing her face, just as he guessed - it was her!
The hare girl smiled at Cheng Song, stretched out her soft hair and hugged his neck, just like when she reached her feet that day and he hugged her, he felt the strength on his neck and smelled the faint fragrance.
Cheng Song couldn't help but bend his head and kiss the hare girl's eyelids, he didn't dare to let her look at himself with such eyes, he couldn't stand it!
I kissed my eyelids and the bridge of my nose...... Further down, he covered the soft lips of the hare girl. The moment the four lip flaps touched, Cheng Song's mind exploded into fireworks, and he couldn't think of anything!
They were entangled in the grass, and they were daunted to death! The hare girl cried, but he would not let her go......
In the end, Cheng Song woke up in dissatisfaction, and the sticky discomfort on his body made him know what was wrong.
Dreams are dreams after all, and when he woke up, thinking about it made Cheng Song break out in a cold sweat! How could he have such a nasty dream? And the object was still ...... Was he crazy? He never thought anything else about that woman!
Cheng Song got up and washed his clothes, pants and quilts, and dragged up a brother who worked hard for half an hour in the morning and sweated profusely before he was comfortable. From then on, he lived in the barracks, during which he had another dream like that, in which he had no scruples about going over the clouds and rain with the hare girl, and when he woke up, he was annoyed!
Ji Xiang begged for a whole day, and the generals in the barracks drove people away, so Cheng Song had to go back to the Lu State Mansion.
When he went back to his yard to bathe and change clothes, Cheng Song saw the knife in the box with a new scabbard when he was dressing up his accessories. Reaching for it and checking it, he hung the knife on the strap.
There were three or four wives sitting in Mrs. Cheng's room, and the Duchess of Lu Guo Lan also sat next to her.
Hearing the rumor outside, "The second master is here", Mrs. Cheng and several wives stopped to look at the door.
Cheng Song walked around the screen and frowned almost invisibly when he saw the wives sitting in the room.
"Say hello to the old lady and mother. Cheng Song stepped forward and saluted.
Mrs. Cheng looked at her handsome grandson and felt sad!
What kind of woman does this child want to choose as his daughter-in-law? Could it be that there is no one in Beijing that suits him?
