Chapter 510: Cooking Porridge
"Whew!" the moment the curtain was lowered, blocking the sunlight and view outside. The bright smile on Lan Xin's face disappeared in an instant, and he collapsed in the carriage without any image.
Just now in Ouyang's mansion, he fought with Master Ouyang. Her face was breezy and cloudy, but in fact, her palms were full of sweat, and the middle clothes on her body were already soaked. In order to retreat with her whole body, she had to force herself to talk and laugh with Mrs. Ouyang, as if nothing had happened.
Now that I'm relaxed, I just feel pain everywhere on my body, and I can't even lift a finger. It hurts even in the cracks of the bones!
Red sleeves and white silk are not much better, just now in Ouyang Mansion physical and mental tension, now only feel sore, all the strength has been drained.
Especially at the moment when Ouyang Fifth Master moved his murderous aura, the red sleeves were hidden in his sleeves, and he had already quietly held the sword in his hand. While paying attention to the movements of Fifth Master Ouyang's side, he went through the route arranged by Young Master Lu in his mind, for fear that he would affect the girl because of his own mistakes.
She remembered that last night, Young Master Lu was worried that the girl's trip to Ouyang Mansion would not go well. Although his own master has the grace of saving his life to Ouyang Fifth Master, Ouyang Fifth Master is by no means the kind of person who knows how to repay his kindness.
In the face of such great interests, it is difficult to guarantee that the fifth master Ouyang will not forget his righteousness and kill the girl.
If there is really a crisis, the duty of the red sleeves is to rush out of the Ouyang Mansion with the girl in chaos. After rushing outside, someone will naturally answer it.
At the same time, Bai Ling's hand was also tightly clasped on the needle bag in his hand. As long as Master Ouyang has the slightest action that is unfavorable to the girl, the poisonous needles in the needle bag will be released, and no one in the house will escape at that time.
But fortunately, Fifth Master Ouyang was just full of killing intent in his eyes, and there was no other movement in his hands. Otherwise, she was really worried that she would make a mistake in judgment and kill someone by mistake when she was nervous.
After making sure that he had left Ouyang Mansion for a long distance, Red Sleeves asked curiously, "Girl, our fleet would have been able to reach the city gate in less than a day, why did you say that it would take you five days later?"
At that time, Ouyang Wu asked when the ship transporting red ginseng would arrive. Lan Xin said that it would take five days to send someone to take his own letter, and then rush back. He also said that he hoped that when his ship arrived at the city gate, he would let Ouyang Wuye's people take care of it.
Concerned about personal interests, Fifth Master Ouyang naturally agreed happily. What's more, this matter is not enough for the Ouyang family at all.
Lan Xin's fingers curled slightly, tapped lightly on the forehead of the red sleeves, and said with a smile: "What a stupid girl! Your girl finally broke through from the 'sword light and sword shadow', why do you have to recover the interest, right?!"
After the red ginseng was shipped, Fifth Lady Ouyang was only busy counting the money, where would she have time to pay attention to the matter of finding a source of goods for us?"
Red Sleeves and White Aya glanced at each other in unison, and tacitly agreed not to say anything, just pursed their lips and smiled. The girl in their family obviously wanted the fifth lady Ouyang to be a coolie.
Hehe, I really didn't expect that the girl looked harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but in fact she was so black-bellied.

When he woke up, Lan Xin only felt refreshed.
She lay on the bed, her eyes wide open, staring at the top of the bed in a daze. She sniffed hard, and the aroma of red bean glutinous rice porridge came to her nose, and she suddenly felt hungry.
She touched her poor belly and tilted her head to find the source of the aroma. Through the emerald green double gauze tent, through the gap between the two screens, a tall figure was clearly seen pausing by the stove, seriously stirring the porridge in the pot.
The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded his body, gilding the whole person with a layer of gold. He stirred the porridge in the pot earnestly, as if he were doing something extremely important. With the movement of his hand, bursts of the aroma of red bean glutinous rice porridge spread everywhere.
Lan Xin couldn't help but be stunned. She hugged the quilt and lay on the bed and watched motionlessly. Lu Zhendong's pursed lips, his angular side face, and his clumsiness revealed a serious action of stirring porridge. warmed Lan Xin's heart. Many years later, whenever I think of this picture, my heart is warm.
Feeling a burning gaze fall on him, Lu Zhendong didn't need to look back to know who it was. He turned his head and said with a smile: "Awake?" The two simple words reveal the tacit understanding and familiarity of an old husband and wife for many years.
"Hmm!" Lan Xin hummed softly, perhaps because he had just woken up, and there was an indescribable laziness in his hoarse voice. Like a feather, gently tugging at people's heartstrings.
"If you have slept well, get up. The water in the basin has been beaten, and after washing the face, the porridge in this pot can be drunk. Lu Zhendong arranged everything in detail, staring at the gap of the pot and smiling at Lan Xin.
"Okay. Lan Xin agreed, but he didn't move at all, just hugged the quilt and looked fixedly at the people who were squatting in front of the stove and busy.
"You!" Lu Zhendong looked at the indifferent Lan Xin, shook his head helplessly, and coaxed gently, "It's not too early to see the hour." I'm afraid I'm going to have to sleep at night if I go to sleep any longer, so I'd better feel like I'm getting up.
By the way, those two maids next to you. I'm also tired, so I'll let the two of them take advantage of your sleep to rest for a while. Otherwise, if you don't have the spirit, you can't do a good job. ”
"Hmm!" Lan Xin hummed softly. The two of them are really tired today. I just don't know if I'm scared, but if I'm scared, I'll dream when I sleep.
Lan Xin hugged the quilt and lay on the bed for a while. Before Lu Zhendong shouted again, she reached out and lifted the double emerald green gauze tent. After getting out of bed, I went to the basin next to me and wrung a handkerchief to wipe my hands and face.
After cleaning up, he got up and came to Lu Zhendong's side, and saw the red and glutinous red bean porridge in the blue and white porcelain bowl, and an inappropriate cry sounded in his stomach.
Lu Zhendong turned off the fire on the stove, and deliberately didn't look at Lan Xin, because he was worried that the little girl would be embarrassed because she was thin-skinned. He lowered his head and said, "Eat it quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
"Well, then you're welcome. Lan Xin sat down with a smile, stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon a few times, scooped a mouthful and put it in his mouth. The sweet, glutinous taste finally fills the entire mouth.
Uhhh
