173.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (13)

"I'm Xia Nan, my name is Zhengshu, and now I'm shy as Chen Guosi. You're finally willing to come out. I thought I'd have to wait a little longer! Xia Nan reached out and patted the shoulder of the sheep's tongue, and there was no appearance of seeing the outside.

Xia Nan's current position is higher than that of Yang Yu, but the two are about the same age, and after this competition, there is a feeling of not knowing each other.

"I didn't adapt to the water and soil a few days ago......"

The sheep's tongue was shy, but he was interrupted by Xia Nan before he finished speaking.

"Come on! When you first came to our Sima Mansion, my mother had already shown it to you. You are pretending to be sick, just fool others, don't try to fool me. ”

"Your mother...... When did Mrs. Xia see me? Sheep Tongue asked curiously. He didn't remember that he had ever met Mrs. Xia!

"When you were just delivered, when you came out of the carriage, my mother looked at you behind the Yuewei wall, and said that you had a ruddy face and strong steps, and you really didn't look like a person who had been sick for more than half a month. Normal people vomit and diarrhea for so long, their faces will definitely be like gold paper and their steps will be vain. Xia Nan mentioned his mother, and there was a bit of smugness in his tone.

The sheep's tongue blushed all at once. It's a shame that they've been pretending to be here for more than ten days, and they already know what they're doing, so they don't stop watching their performances!

"Then why don't you just come and tell me?"

"Poking you? That's boring! My mother said, don't make your guests feel embarrassed, you will come out when you want to come out and meet people. I told you that I thought you were a buddy. I definitely wouldn't have told him so much if it had been someone else. Xia Nan said and slapped the shoulder of the sheep tongue several times.

Since Uncle Xia Yu's death, he has rarely interacted with his friends, and later they have all cut off contact one after another. At first, he was afraid that people would laugh at him and bully him, but later he felt that they were not doing their jobs all day long, and they were so focused on eating, drinking, and having fun that they couldn't play with themselves anymore. This sheep tongue can fight with him for so long, and his mother also said that he will be a very talented person, so Xia Nan hit him at first sight and felt a sense of pity.

When Yang Yu heard this, he had a strong curiosity about this rumored Mrs. Xia. Jiang Taibu's prophecy had too much influence, and he had heard it. Later, when the woman grew old and became a woman with a bad reputation, she slowly faded from the eyes of those who were ambitious. Most people said that she had become an old woman, and that she was out of sight. But some people insist that her face is like a peach blossom, like a twenty-eight flower, and the years have not left the slightest trace on her.

The Sheep Tongue family is a big family, and as a core disciple, he occasionally heard the elders of the family talk about this Mrs. Xia. Now that she has come to Zhulin, the Mrs. Xia in Xia Nan's mouth looks very different from the rumors. If you don't know it, you can't say it!

Therefore, Yang Yudi clasped his hands into fists and said to Xia Nan: "I have been bothering for many days, and I have never thanked Mrs. Xia, I am really ashamed." I wonder if I can thank your mother in person? ”

"Of course. But we were both sweaty, so we went to wash and change our clothes. Then let's go see my mother! As he spoke, Xia Nan instructed his subordinates to prepare toiletries and clean clothes for the sheep's tongue.

Since the sheep's tongue is about the same size, fat and thin as Xia Nan, Xia Nan asked them to prepare according to their own clothing size.

Poor sheep tongue, it has been a month since he arrived in Chen Guo, because he was kidnapped, and after he came, he has been pretending to be sick and bedridden, and he has not even changed his clothes. Xia Nan smelled the rancid smell on him just now. Because he had a good impression of him, Xia Nan couldn't bear to embarrass him by not saying it, so that he didn't have to hide in the yard for three or four days without coming out.

Mother is a clean-loving woman who bathes every day, and she can't let her own mother's nose be harmed.

Since Xia Ji had told Xia Nan before that if Yang Yu wanted to see her, he would take him directly to Yuexin Hall, so after the washing, Xia Nan sent a small servant to report a letter in advance, and went directly with Yang Yu Yu. There was no back-and-forth discussion, and no time was wasted.

After dressing up, the sheep tongue really looks much more refreshing and comfortable, and he is a handsome young man.

Xia Ji asked her subordinates to bring Xia Nan and Sheep Tongue to the Lake Pavilion behind Yuexin Hall. Looking at the two young men standing side by side, I was extremely satisfied. Looking at the way these two children talked and laughed all the way just now, the two became good friends so quickly, and sure enough, Uncle Xiang had a fate with his own family.

At this time, the sheep tongue was looking down at the bluestone on the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes. Because Mrs. Xia is really good-looking. Indifferent eyebrows, thin powder noodles, a simple back-to-heart bun, gentle and graceful temperament is fully revealed. Her beauty was not inferior to that of young women, but she was more charming than them.

In recent years, the sheep tongue has grown up, and the family has begun to look for a wife for him. So he gradually opened his mind and quietly noticed some girls. The girl who can be noticed by him has an outstanding family background, upbringing, and appearance. But when those people were compared with Mrs. Xia, they were obviously compared.

Anyone who sees a beautiful person or thing for the first time can't help but take a few more looks. The sheep's tongue asks himself, and his heart is open. He was a well-bred man, and in order to avoid being seen as rude by looking at it a few more times, he was now staring at the ground vigorously.

It's just that afterwards he asked Xia Nan if he had a sister. If anything, he didn't mind waiting until the other party grew up to marry a wife, and was severely beaten by Xia Nan. That time he only defended, not attacked.

Xia Ji saw that the sheep tongue was staring at the ground, and said in her heart that this was really a well-bred child. His makeup is ahead of his time, and it's normal to be attractive. People like Chen Linggong and Yixing's father will stare at themselves unscrupulously, and those who are educated will retract their gaze after being stunned for a short time, and they don't even have time to be stunned, which shows that their education is far better than ordinary people.

"I prepared a few snacks and peach blossom stuff today, all made from the flowers of our plant. The sheep's tongue boy came from afar, you must taste it! ”

Xia Ji said, and asked Fu'er to take out all the food in the food box and put them on the table one by one.

Peach blossom soup, made from fresh peach petals of japonica rice, cyan with pink, is very good-looking; Lotus cake, made of glutinous rice and lotus petals, mixed evenly, sprinkled with a layer of frosting on the surface, crystal like snow; Sakura cake, a five-petal cherry blossom-shaped confectionery filled with fresh cherry blossoms and made with flour; Sophora flowers, the sweet acacia flowers are branded in the pancakes, golden and crispy, and it makes people salivate when they look at it; Golden magnolia, the magnolia flower is wrapped in a thin layer of flour, fried until golden brown, accompanied by honey, it is simply indescribably sweet. In addition, there are several kinds of candied fruits made of hibiscus and hibiscus. With jasmine tea and peach blossom wine, it is really a delicious and hearty flower feast!

If this flower meal is placed in the future generations, I am afraid that it will be suspected of being elegant for some reason. But for now, it's perfectly suitable. The forest is most famous for its variety of flowers that are undefeated in all seasons. As the host, Xia Ji entertained distinguished guests with flowers in the forest, which is the most appropriate thing.

Besides, there are several of these delicacies she came up with today that have not yet been developed in this dynasty! This is also full of sincerity.

After Xia Ji invited everyone to take a seat, she pointed to the table full of delicacies and said to the sheep's tongue: "I don't dare to say anything else, flowers are definitely the best." I have nothing to do to develop a few methods, and the distinguished guests are coming, just to give you a try! ”

Let's let Fu'er add peach blossom soup to the lamb tongue, and scoop a bowl for Xia Nan himself.

"Madame has a heart! It is a blessing to be able to taste such exquisite food! "The sheep's tongue is respectful and polite.

"Then ...... Let's go! Natsuhime glanced at Natsuki and felt that she had to say that it had begun. Because Xia Nan had already eaten half of the magnolia in front of him in three or two bites.

This kid usually makes him eat, he shouts, "What kind of flowers do I eat as a manly husband", he didn't taste a bite, and today let him eat with him, and he had a good time.

Lamb Tongue originally wanted to be polite a few more words, but when he saw Xia Nan's eating appearance next to him, he couldn't help it. Young people are all rushing to eat, the more they eat. waited until the cups and plates on the table were messy, and the sheep tongue realized how uncivilized his eating appearance was just now.

However, because of this snatching, the strangeness between several people disappeared, and the atmosphere became more and more easy-going.

Xia Ji ordered Fu'er to remove the dishes, leaving only the tea. After eating and drinking, it's time to get down to business.

"The sheep's tongue boy came to Chen Guo, it's actually a very helpless thing! I wonder what you're going to do next? Natsuhime asked.

"I was going to follow my father into the court to do things, but now my plans have been disrupted. I don't know when I'll be able to go back! The sheep tongue smiled bitterly.

"If Childe just wants to go back, it won't be long before he can make the trip." After all, it was Chen Linggong who was in power, and in the end, it was Chen Linggong who had the final say, not Prince Wu. Only this time, I'm afraid that the prince will fall a little harder.

"Oh? What's the news from Madame's? Sheep Tongue asked.

"Doesn't Childe know? Jin and Xun put pressure on Chen together. You have to use the white dove to deliver letters every two or three days, and there are more than a dozen strangers outside Sima's mansion. It can be seen that Childe is very clear about his situation, and his safety is not completely out of control. Isn't it? ”

Xia Ji looked at the sheep tongue with a smile, but the sheep tongue was tight, and the cold sweat almost flowed out.

"Madame is probably misunderstood. I have nothing to do with those people. ”

"Whether it matters or not, Childe knows best in his heart. Childe doesn't have to be nervous, we are not Prince Wu. ”

Xia Nan sat with a smile and didn't speak, drinking tea and watching his mother play with his friends.

The sheep's tongue couldn't resist, and secretly gave Xia Nan a look for help. Xia Nan replied with a helpless expression and continued to watch the excitement on the side.

"Let me guess. Gongzi could have been taken to Chen without being taken captive, but you still came. You should just want everyone to know that Chen Guo made mistakes, and then you can blatantly put pressure on Chen Guo and ask Chen Guo for benefits, right? ”

Natsuhime saw the pale face of the sheep's tongue and knew that she had talked about his shortcomings. Nothing else, continue to speak.

"This idea should be a temporary idea of Childe. After all, no one could have expected that Prince Wu would do such a thing. But those people left their names in Xun Kingdom, it should be Gongzi you induced them to say it, right? ”

The sheep's tongue and eyes are complex, noncommittal.

"As for your behavior after you came to Chen Guo, on the one hand, you are waiting for Chen Guo to compensate Jin Guo and Xun Guo, and on the other hand, you are also quietly observing Chen Guo and making some preparations for the future. After all, the world is in chaos now, and everyone wants to break out of the troubled world. You've got the map of Wanqiu and the layout of the palace, right? ”

The sheep's tongue couldn't be calm now, and he broke out in a cold sweat directly. If he could still pretend to be calm before, because those were just small things, but now what Xia Ji said can kill him.

But before he could deny it, Natsuki continued.

"Childe, don't be in a hurry to deny it. I'm not talking nonsense either. It's just that the people under your command are so dedicated that they even have to explore the terrain of the forest. ”

Sheep tongue immediately wanted to punch himself. He gave the order to explore the terrain of the forest. Xia Nan trained all day and didn't think about anything else, who knew that Mrs. Xia was so powerful!

Xia Ji saw the remorseful look of the sheep's tongue, and the corners of her mouth slightly pulled up an imperceptible smile.
