Chapter 161: Jealousy?
Huaimin didn't get the answer he wanted, he pouted in disappointment, he no longer had any interest in Leyu and Yizhen, and went out hunting with Hanguang and Streamer boredly, saying that it was to add some food at noon.
Yizhen pulled Leyu's sleeves and said with a smile: "Since the county lord has taken action in person, we can't be idle, it's better to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms or something, and make a soup." β
Huai Min's thin white fingers wrapped around the fiery red whip, and he smiled, and the bright light dazzled everyone's eyes: "You are all young ladies who don't touch the spring water with ten fingers, and you can also recognize wild vegetables and mushrooms? β
Yizhen was not annoyed, and said with a wink: "The county lord doesn't know, I like to be close to these mountains and rivers since I was a child, and whenever I have the opportunity to go out, I will let the girl take it to pick these, and there is nothing that I can't tell the difference." β
Huai Min was speechless at this time, and smiled at Cheng Lingye, his teeth were snow-white and neat: "Brother Ye is waiting to eat roast rabbits." β
Saying that, he took the lead and strode out, Hanguang and Streamer didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.
Yizhen was full of questions, and also pulled Le Yu out, and only two men with completely different demeanors and bearings were left in the lively tea room just now, and there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent wave surging between the two, and even the air was a little chilly.
Jiaze frowned, exited the tea room and stayed outside. Cheng Lingye no longer concealed his anger and jealousy, looked at Ji Shuyu coldly, and put the chess pieces in the center of the big dragon, "Fuling Hou is about to be Dayong's concubine, and it is inconvenient to appear in such a place at this time, and it will cause trouble to others." β
Obviously, she wants to marry Princess Dayong as the princess. He prefers to say that he is a big Yong horse, and the contempt and hostility implied by his words are obvious.
Ji Shuyu was also secretly annoyed, and she was so upset that she rashly asked her out. It's really a lack of consideration. If it weren't for the quick reaction of that Miss Miao and being tricked out by Lord Huaimin, she would have nothing to do, but I was afraid that she would be implicated. Thinking of this, he could not refute it, but even his shoulders collapsed, and he became more and more lost and haggard.
The open guns and hidden arrows of the right people are tested step by step. How could Ji Shuyu, who was born in the royal family, not see it? Both for Le Yu's injustice and worry about her, he couldn't help frowning and said: "When the prince travels with the county lord, he should accompany the county lord well." Instead of wasting time with me here. β
The implication is that since you are surrounded by beautiful flowers, why do you provoke people who do not belong to you?
Cheng Lingye raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to have a seizure and endured it again. As soon as he saw Le Yu just now, he unconsciously felt a little weak. Although he kept telling SΓΉ that he was forced to make a show out of desperation, he still didn't want Le Yu to see this scene. When I saw Le Yu making fun of herself and Huai Min neatly, she couldn't see anything strange at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, although she was also extremely proud of her concentration and the city, but she was also jealous, sour and astringent.
"I know best what a waste of time is, and I don't need to be reminded by Master Hou. This point, it seems that Hou Ye is not clear. β
Jiaze couldn't wait to cover his ears outside the tea room. Are these the words of two men of noble status, who are either cold or handsome? His chin was about to fall to the ground, and Miss Xiao was really capable, he couldn't help but think of it with admiration.
Yizhen pulled Le Yu to a flat forest on the mountainside, occasionally picked up a few mushrooms that trembled and exposed the cute umbrella cover and threw them into the bamboo basket carried by Qingmei, and asked Le Yu in a low voice: "What the hell is going on? Why are Lord Huaimin and Prince Cheng here?
Le Yu smiled wryly, and also squatted down and pulled out a cluster of tender and green wild vegetables, and told Yizhen that she had passed. Yizhen frowned and said uneasily: "With this Huaimin County Lord here, it will never be calm, and it will be really annoying." β
There was no one around, Le Yu lifted the skirt and tied it in a knot, walked more neatly, and said indifferently: "That's fine, if you dispel her suspicions, there will be a lot less trouble." β
Yizhen hesitated a little, but still asked: "Then Fuling waits for ,,,," Ji Shuyu looked at Le Yu's eyes, she was not blind, where could she not see?
Le Yu sighed secretly in her heart, and lowered her voice, "I am from two worlds with him, and it has nothing to do with him, he will think clearly." The tone was light, but it was full of unmistakable firmness and categorism.
Yizhen was relieved, An Cheng and Le Yu were her good sisters, she couldn't watch any of them get hurt, and she didn't want to see them get into trouble for such a thing.
Seeing that Yizhen didn't ask anymore, Le Yu gratefully shook Yizhen's mud-stained hand, Yizhen is always like this, empathetic, never aggressive, and only gives others the greatest kindness.
Yizhen smirked, with a bright smile, "With muddy hands, what are you doing with such hypocrisy? Why don't you pick wild vegetables quickly, I don't want to be ridiculed by that Huaimin." β
Affected by her optimistic and cheerful smile, Le Yu also showed a relaxed smile, raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't underestimate us, we will never be less than her." Even if she hits the prey, maybe the two girls will be the most credited. β
The two of them laughed and bent over, quickened the movements of their hands, and sprinkled a string of laughter like silver bells in the sun-dappled woods.
After more than half an hour, the two of them picked most of the fresh blue wild vegetables and a basket of chubby mushrooms, and returned to the tea house with a sense of accomplishment to hand over the things to the old man's daughter-in-law who could cook.
The peasant woman was also handsome, she looked through the wild vegetables and said with a smile: "The two young ladies really know how to read vegetables, and there is not a single poisonous one that cannot be eaten." The mushrooms were also very delicious, and the young lady came back from hunting a pheasant, and the mushroom stew was very beautiful. β
Huai Min hit two pheasants and three hares and came back with a full load, leaning proudly against the bamboo wall and giggling: "How is it? Seeing that your hands are covered with mud, and the wolf is dead, you won't come without clothes, right?"
Yizhen has always been thoughtful in her work, and her smile was shallow: "Lord Lao cares, and we have clothes." She said solemnly, looking dull and boring, and Huaimin pursed her lips boringly, and went straight into the curtain, ignoring them again.
Yizhen took Le Yu to change her clothes in the peasant woman's house, and then combed her hands before reappearing in the tea room.
Cheng Lingye and Ji Shujue's chess game was over, and they were sitting silently drinking tea with each other, Yizhen smiled and said, "I don't know who won?"
Huai Min sneered: "Naturally, Brother Ye won." In fact, she didn't see which of the two won or lost, but with her domineering nature, she couldn't tolerate Cheng Lingye losing.
Cheng Lingye and Ji Shuyu were silent, and no one spoke. The atmosphere between the two was a little weird, Le Yu glanced at the two of them in surprise, but sensitively noticed that there was a little invisible black mark on the sleeve of Ji Shuyu's snow-white robe, and the golden tassel hanging from the golden rhino horn belt on Cheng Lingye's waist was missing.
Looking at the unnatural faces of the two again, Le Yu's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise, these two people couldn't have made a move, right?
Outside the door, Jia Ze's face twitched, the chess pieces that were spilled on the ground made him pick up for a long time, when did the master disregard the overall situation like this?
Cheng Lingye's martial arts Leyu had seen it, and she couldn't help but look at Ji Shuyu with a little worry, could he beat him?
Cheng Lingye's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but be angry when he saw Le Yu's gaze, I was also injured, but you only cared about him?
Ji Shuyu's eyes were slightly warm, and he regained his ordinary clouds and light breeze, his clear and warm eyes flashed with wisdom, and he smiled as if he had a point: "Yes, the world is one step higher, and I am willing to bow to the wind." β
In terms of martial arts, Cheng Lingye is indeed slightly better, he came from a bloody battle, and he has no more opportunities to do it than Ji Shuju, as for chess skills, Cheng Lingye's face is darker, he is busy every day, where does he have so much time to do such a boring thing as playing chess?
Le Yu blinked, and a big smile appeared on her face, "Lord Huaimin has hunted so much game, which can save a lot of money for Master Hou's meal, and we also have a good mouth."
Huai Min was very proud, and said brightly: "That is, with my archery skills, hunting some rabbits and pheasants or something is not easy to catch, I even shot a black blind man to death when I hunted."
Le Yu didn't mind holding her in such a matter, so she pretended to be surprised, and said slightly: "Really, that black blind man is tall and strong, and the county lord is really a heroine."
Huai Min giggled, this Xiao Leyu doesn't seem to be so annoying, she still knows the current affairs very well.A few women laughed a few words, and the atmosphere in the room became relaxed, and the old man talked back and forth, "A few people, the food is ready, it can be used."
So they brought in a clean square table in the tea room, and put all kinds of dishes on the table.
A casserole soup golden and clear pheasant stewed mushrooms sprinkled with some wild onions, two fat flowing rabbits one braised and one roasted, the entrance of the braised is mellow and delicate, the roasted outside is crispy and tender inside, fragrant and slightly spicy, all are red and bright in color to attract appetite, plus all kinds of fried wild vegetables, farmhouse pickled bacon and other things, it is also very rich.
Huai Min said proudly: "There is food but no wine, it is inevitable that the heavens will be ruined, I specially brought wine, everyone has to drink a glass, so as to live up to the green mountains and green waters."
Yizhen leaned on Le Yu, frowning slightly and seemed a little embarrassed: "We don't drink as much as the county lord, but we don't dare to be greedy."
Huai Min smiled and flashed with contempt: "It's okay, drink as much as you want, don't force it." The wine she brought was packed in a huge cowhide wine bag, weighing a few pounds, and the color was golden and slightly viscous when poured out, and the wine had a strong aroma.
Le Yu sniffed lightly at the end of her nose and chuckled: "The county lord made this wine himself, right? It smells like some osmanthus aroma."
Huai Min's eyes were proud, "You are sensitive, this wine is the best Xinfeng wine, I added fresh osmanthus to neutralize the spicy taste, making it more soft and mellow and slightly fragrant, the entrance is excellent, and you can't drink it anywhere else."
Le Yu didn't praise or disparage, only smiled slightly and took a sip.Cheng Lingye and Ji Shuyu, who were good at wine, both looked strange, and only drank a glass with their heads bored.
Yizhen didn't understand wine, so she took a sip and praised: "The county lord is very clever, I don't like drinking the most, even the green plum and Longyan that are most suitable for my daughter's family to drink, I also feel spicy and spicy, this wine is sweet and soft." (To be continued.) )
