Chapter 264: Reckoning

Although the business is prosperous and the customers are like clouds, there has never been any all-pigeon banquet. Today, there are mouth-watering pigeon pigeons, what oil-drenched pigeon, salt-baked pigeon, braised pigeon, Bazhen pigeon, scallion oil pigeon, brine pigeon, pork belly pigeon, pigeon stew......

The skin is crispy, juicy, tender, and the tempting aroma comes out with the juice, and it is the first time for Weng Goro to eat a suckling pigeon like this, so he naturally feels very novel. In addition, the cook's skills are good, and he eats with a mouth full of oil, and he is so amazed that even the tiny bones are chewed and swallowed.

But when he swept away a plate of oil-drenched pigeon in front of him, Liu Hui beckoned, and the store brought another plate in front of him, and he couldn't laugh.

But Liu Hui was still diligently persuading: "Why don't you move your chopsticks? Eat quickly, eat quickly, this thing is to be enjoyed while it is hot." If it's cold, it loses its taste. After saying that, he also took a fat dripping red pigeon and put it in his bowl.

Although Liu Hui had a smile on his face, there was an undeniable persistence in his eyes. Weng Wulang didn't dare to refuse, so he had to thank him hard, and then lowered his head and ate again.

Hua Lianyue sat on the side and put down her chopsticks a long time ago. She likes to eat suckling pigeons, but she can't bear this way of eating! In the end, it is a thing with thick oil red sauce, and she will definitely get tired of it if she eats too much, and Liu Hui doesn't give anything next to her, so she doesn't need to ask to know that Weng Wulang must be greasy at the moment.

Xiaoxiao saw that she didn't eat it, so she hurriedly poured tea for her to relieve her tiredness, and Hua Lianyue drank two cups in a row before she felt better. As soon as she put down the teacup and looked up, she met Weng Goro's pitiful little eyes.

Hua Lianyue knew that Liu Hui was deliberately teasing him, and she also knew that her playmate, who was a childhood child, was straightforward, and she would not observe words and feelings, nor would she politely decline. She hurriedly instructed Xiaoxiao: "Pour a cup of tea for Fifth Master Weng too!"

"Wait!" Liu Hui stopped Xiaoxiao with a smile, and he said to Hua Lianyue: "I haven't drunk enough wine, what kind of tea do you drink! Xiaoxiao, you ask the store to send another jar of bamboo leaves! Today, I and Wuye Weng want to get drunk and rest." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, most of the jar of bamboo leaves entered Weng Goro's stomach, and the smell of wine and flesh surged up together, and he couldn't help but burp a big wine when he was already red-faced.

Hua Lianyue was choked by the smoke, she stood up with a handkerchief covering her nose, and persuaded with good words: "Fifth brother is drunk, why don't you stop here today, and continue to drink next time you find a chance!"

"No, no, no, moon girl. Your fifth brother, this is the first time I've sat down with King Xian to drink, and I have to drink happily......"

It was Liu Hui who deliberately made it difficult before, but now it was the drunk Weng Wulang who played drunk, and he couldn't help but refuse Hua Lianyue's kindness with the strength of the wine.

Liu Hui filled the wine glass for him with a smile, squinted at Hua Lianyue and said: "Yes, it is said that there are fewer thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence." This king recognizes Weng Wuye as a confidant today, and this wine will naturally have to be drunk to the fullest......."

"Nice, not bad......."

Hua Lianyue saw that the wine glasses of the two people touched again, and closed her eyes unbearably. She simply stood up and said angrily: "You guys continue to drink, I won't accompany you." ”

Hua Lianyue walked out of the box door, and faintly heard Weng Wulang inside arranging himself to Liu Hui with a big tongue: "This Liu family girl is good at everything, but her temper is too big and not gentle enough." Small, ....... when I was a child"

Feng Qi on the side wanted to laugh, but he wanted to forcibly hold back, and clenched his fists and whispered: "Mastermother, these two masters in the house seem to be drunk, what should we do?"

Hua Lianyue said angrily: "What else can I do, let people prepare the hangover soup first." When their banquet is over, one person will pour two large pots into it first!"

Feng Qi hurriedly said, "What about you?"

"Me?" Hua Lianyue waved her hand and said unceremoniously: "Naturally, I won't mess around with them, go back and continue to sleep in my cage." ”

Feng Qi, Feng Wu watched her and Xiaoxiao leave with envy. They didn't get a good night's rest last night, and they also want to sleep back!

.......

Hua Lianyue returned to the General's Mansion and went to visit General Weng first, but she was closed. I heard that my father was using fumigation to remove poison for the old man, and he didn't see outsiders for seven days.

Hua Lianyue touched her nose boringly, well, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about except sleeping. She took Xiaoxiao back to the courtyard where she lived last night, lay in the warm pavilion like spring, and soon fell asleep.

This sleep was simply dark, and when Hua Liyue woke up, she saw that the lamp had been turned on in the warm pavilion. She stretched out with satisfaction, feeling that the fatigue around her body had been swept away, and she was finally happy to come back to life.

"Xiaoxiao, pour a cup of tea!"

I waited for a while, but I didn't hear a response. Hua Lianyue had no choice but to collapse, put on a coat, took a pair of satin shoes, and kicked out of the warm pavilion.

When you eat and drink during the day, you don't feel cold yet. Now the sun had set, the last rays of heat had dissipated, and the ubiquitous night wind had become bitter.

"Madam, why did you come out?" Xiaoxiao happened to walk back along the verandah, and when she saw Hua Lianyue's figure, she hurriedly quickened her pace.

Although it was night, there were countless lanterns hanging under the verandah, illuminating it like day. Hua Lianyue saw that Xiaoxiao's face was a little not good, and she couldn't help but say in surprise: "Who provoked you again?"

Xiaoxiao hurriedly smiled and said, "Madame, who doesn't know that I am your person, and who dares to provoke me." She lifted the curtain and helped Hua Liyue back into the house.

Hua Lianyue sat down in front of the table, took the warm tea poured by Xiaoxiao, took a few sips, and asked, "Haven't they come back yet, Lord Wang?"

Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "I'm back, the prince saw that you slept soundly, and he couldn't bear to disturb it, so he went to the study." I heard that there are still many trivial things left behind in last night's case, waiting for him to deal with. No, I've been there for almost two hours, and I haven't moved!"

Hua Lianyue put down the teacup and asked again, "What about Fifth Master Weng, is he also helping the prince deal with the case?"

Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said, "Madame has a high opinion of Fifth Master Weng, I heard that he was very drunk, and he was carried back by Fifth Brother Feng, and he vomited on the way." Brother Feng has already soaked in the bath twice, and most of the fragrant pancreas have been used, and Brother Feng Qi also said that he has a smell of pigeon feces. ”

Hua Lianyue shook her head and smiled bitterly when she heard this: "The prince originally wanted to trick Weng Wuye, but I didn't expect even Feng Wu to play tricks together." ”

Xiaoxiao also smiled: "It is estimated that Fifth Master Weng and Fifth Brother Feng will never want to eat suckling pigeons again!"

After laughing for a while, Hua Lianyue brushed the messy hair on her sideburns, stood up and said, "It's okay left and right, I'll go to the study to take a look!"

Xiaoxiao listened to her words, but she was anxious, and blurted out: "No!" to Shanghua Lianyue's surprised eyes. She hurriedly stammered and explained: "Madame doesn't know, the prince has been in the study for so long, and he can't even take a sip of tea, and he must be thirsty and hungry at the moment." Madame might as well go to the kitchen to get some porridge and side dishes for the prince, and the prince will definitely be very happy. ”

Hua Lianyue looked at her quietly and was speechless for a long time. Xiaoxiao half-lowered her eyes and hurriedly cleaned up the objects on the table.

A pair of pearl pendants hanging from her ears flickered with her movements, like her flustered heartbeat.

Hua Lianyue stared at Xiaoxiao, who didn't dare to look up, and suddenly said, "That's fine!"

Xiaoxiao, who was anxious, thought that she had found a sign and was racking her brains to think about how to dispel her doubts. Unexpectedly, Hua Lianyue actually agreed, and she still had some suspicions that she had heard it wrong. Hesitantly, he said, "Shall we go to the kitchen now?"

Hua Lianyue shook her head and teased: "Xiaoxiao, why are you so soulless today?"

Xiaoxiao hurriedly patted her cheeks with her hand, and said embarrassedly: "It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night, and Fan is confused at the moment, which makes Mrs. worry." ”

Hua Lianyue sneered, she stood up, and said meaningfully: "I'm not worried, I'm afraid that you are the only one in this room who is worried." ”

......

The kitchen of the General's Mansion naturally has everything, Hua Lianyue thought that Liu Hui must have been hurt by wine and meat during the day, so she only boiled a thick jasper stem rice porridge, mixed with sweet and sour lotus root, a sesame oil mixed kohlrabi, a cold salad with hot and sour white radish core, and a tender cold salad bamboo shoots.

Xiaoxiao said curiously: "Why are they all cold salads, it's freezing this day, and Mrs. doesn't prepare a mouthful of hot dishes for the prince." ”

Hua Lianyue smiled and said, "Your prince is now on fire, and the cold salad is good, which can suppress his excess fire." ”

Although they are all simple cold dishes, it took half an hour to prepare. When it comes to the study, the people who should go are naturally gone. Only a half-empty teacup was left, resting alone on the high table of the hospital, and it was too late to remove it.

Liu Hui raised his head and saw her push open the door and come in, and couldn't help but smile: "You came at the right time, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "The prince is hungry, and Mrs. personally prepared some thin porridge and side dishes for you." ”

When Liu Hui heard that it was prepared by Hua Lianyue herself, he immediately became interested. He stood up and walked to the round table, watching Xiaoxiao lay out the dishes in the food box. When he saw that the table was full of cold vegetarian dishes without a trace of heat, he couldn't help frowning, and said in disbelief: "Yue'er, you prepared these with your own hands?"

Hua Lianyue had already sat down next to Gao Ji, and when she heard this, she glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why, I haven't eaten enough of the whole pigeon banquet at that table, and I still think about eating meat?"

Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled. He sat down at the table, took Xiaoxiao's hot porridge, and said, "If you eat too much meat, you really need to clear your stomach, so it's good." He took a chopstick and sour and spicy white radish core and chewed it carefully in his mouth, he squinted his eyes comfortably, and said: "Crisp and appetizing, this white radish core is much more delicious than the whole pigeon feast!"

Hua Lianyue was originally dissatisfied with him teasing Weng Wulang so much, so she deliberately made this bland and tasteless vegetarian dish, and when she saw that he ate with relish, she was also relieved.

She helped Gao Ji to stand up, but the back of her hand touched the empty teacup, so she asked, "You have guests in this room just now? ”

Xiaoxiao on the side hurriedly said: "The uncle of the Weng family came to sit for a while, it seems that the county master has also come." This empty teacup must have been left behind by them, and I haven't had time to clean it up......"

Liu Hui put another piece of crunchy lotus root in his mouth, swallowed it, and then said: "I have a lot of confidential official documents in this study, so I sent all the maids of the Weng family out." Now that the courtyard is full of Xiaoxiao, she is waiting alone, and it is normal to not be able to take care of it. ”

Liu Hui raised his eyes and looked at the teacup on the high table again, and said calmly: "But this cup of residual tea was left by Miss Zhang, and I just asked Feng Qi to send her out." ”

"Oops!" Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Lord Wang, I did everything possible to help you hide it, why did you say it yourself!"

Hua Lianyue felt that something was wrong with Xiaoxiao before, but she didn't expect Zhang Jiao to come to the door. Probably because she was afraid that she would be unhappy after knowing that Zhang Jiao and Liu Hui would meet, so she would take such pains to conceal it.

Stretched out her finger and poked it on Xiaoxiao's forehead, Hua Lianyue couldn't help but sneered: "You, you are really salty and worried! If I was jealous and sad for this little thing, I would have become this sour and spicy white radish core, spicy, sour and choking!"

Xiaoxiao originally lowered her head shyly, kneading the corners of her clothes and not daring to speak. was teased by Hua Lianyue like this, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Hua Lianyue waved her hand and said, "Okay, you're tired too, let's go rest first!

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao saw that her two masters did not have a gap because of Miss Zhang's arrival, and she was relieved, so she retreated according to Hua Lianyue's wishes.

Only Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue were left in the room, Liu Hui was still drinking porridge with relish, Hua Lianyue couldn't help but ask: "Let me ask you, why did you get Weng Fifth Brother drunk today, and forced him to eat so many pigeons?"

Liu Hui drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, he took out the handkerchief, pressed the corner of his mouth, and smiled helplessly: "I thought you would ask, what is Zhang Jiao coming here for tonight." ”

Hua Lianyue hooked the corners of her lips and said with a light smile: "Why else, it's nothing more than knowing that you have come back from the Northern Underworld, and you still make such a big noise." But she stayed in Dancui Villa but couldn't wait for you and me to appear, she was in a hurry, so she simply came out to look for someone. ”

"Yes, but it's a pity you're only half right!"

"Only half right?" Hua Lianyue said with interest, "Then what is the remaining half?"

Liu Hui stood up, walked to the bookcase, picked up a letter that had been opened, handed it to Hua Lianyue, and said: "Actually, she is here to deliver the letter, my mother knows that you and I have become married, so she wants me to take you back to the capital and meet her." ”

Hua Lianyue didn't answer the letter, but stared at him with wide eyes, and said, "You mean, Zhang Jiao will come, it's actually your mother's idea?"

Liu Hui smiled bitterly, but he couldn't deny this fact, so he nodded helplessly.

Hua Lianyue continued: "So, your mother has already identified Zhang Jiao as her daughter-in-law, and she asked Zhang Jiao to come to Dancui Villa, just to let me recognize my identity?"

Liu Hui frowned, his face a little ugly. But this time, he neither shook his head nor nodded, but reached out and grabbed Hua Lianyue's slightly cold hands, and said eagerly: "Yue'er, you listen to me......"

"Wait!" Hua Lianyue looked up at him, her cold black eyes slowly narrowed, and she said coldly: "These, in fact, you should know about them in the North Underworld, why didn't you say it earlier?"
