Qi Linyu cleaned up and greeted Shen Qihuan, who was still not a nose and eyes were not eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "It's not early, let's go to Lian Er's house for breakfast!"

Shen Qihuan was already angry, and he almost got angry when he said this, "I'm not going." The prince likes to go by himself, I don't have to make you uncomfortable when I go. ”

Qi Linyu didn't understand how Shen Qihuan looked like a natural enemy to Ye Xiaolian, and explained: "Lian Er's apprentice is very good at cooking, if I hadn't left Bai Qian in the capital to take care of you, I wouldn't have ended up rubbing other people's food." ”

As soon as he mentioned Bai Qian, Shen Qihuan's heart instinctively became empty, and he remembered that he didn't seem to mention the matter of going upstairs to chant the scriptures that day.

Qi Linyu knew what she was thinking when she looked at her, and said with a smile: "I already know about the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and those rumors will disappear after you return to Beijing." ”

Rumors? What did he refer to? Shen Qihuan was in a trance, but Qi Linyu didn't want to talk more. Shen Quehuan had to suppress his hesitation and waved his hand indiscriminately: "Don't disturb others to eat, I will cook." ”

Qi Linyu was stunned, this was really out of expectation.

Shen Qihuan went to find Ma Mian'er after packing up, she told Ma Mian'er about the need for ingredients, and took out two taels of silver and handed it to her. "Trouble. ”

Shen Qihuan was very polite, but his numb face looked at the two taels of broken silver, and he was embarrassed: "This ...... That's too little, isn't it?"

Shen Qihuan didn't talk to her either, raised his hand and took back the two taels of silver, turned around and walked out.

Ma Mian'er let out a "hey" and hurriedly chased out.

Shen Quehuan went to the nearest farmer to buy a chicken and a scoop of rice for two taels of silver, and the family kindly borrowed dishes and chopsticks for the seasoning, and also gave Shen Quehuan a soil basket to help her carry back Qi Linyu's yard.

Ma Yan'er's face was blue and red, these things could be purchased neatly for less than a tael of silver, she just felt that Shen Qihuan gave two taels too little, on the one hand, she was indeed spoiled by Qi Linyu's generosity, on the other hand, Ma Yan'er still hoped that the master and servant would go to the courtyard of Lian Er's house to eat, because every time she brought Qi Linyu over, the little apprentice of Lian Er's family would give her a reward of five taels of silver.

Now it's okay, the chicken flies and the egg beats.

Qi Linyu sat on the big kang near the window, watching Shen Qihuan in the yard roll up his sleeves and kill chickens, the big rooster jumping around in Shen Qihuan's hands, like a prisoner of war who was scared, his little eyes were trembling. Shen Qihuan is obviously very good at the technique of "wiping the neck", whether it is killing people or killing chickens, there is no ambiguity in the slightest stroke.

Shen Quehuan's so-called "can cook" also belongs to a simple and rough type, whether it is putting water or seasonings, they all come according to their own mood, but they are better than a "fast", and after a while, a meal of butter stewed chicken is on the table.

Qi Linyu is used to being picky, and after taking the first bite, he knows that the chicken is too old, the seasoning is too heavy, and the onions, ginger and garlic must have been put in one go, and he didn't even think about it, but the more he ate it, the more delicious he felt. The woman she likes washes her hands and makes soup for herself, and there is no such happy thing in the world.

Shen Qihuan was also in a good mood, she volunteered to cook for her mother and brother when she was in Quyan, but after doing it once, the two relatives said that they would not need her to do it again in the future. Unexpectedly, Qi Linyu liked to eat this, and Shen Qihuan added "butter stuffed duck" and "butter stuffed goose" to the private recipe in her mind while eating.

The breakfast atmosphere was more intimate than ever. It's just that this kind of warmth collapsed immediately after Ye Xiaolian's master and apprentice arrived uninvited.

As soon as Ye Xiaolian and her apprentice Cuicui stepped into the courtyard, they smelled the fragrance of stewed meat, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and Cuicui looked down at the food box she was carrying with an uncertain expression.

Ye Xiaolian's expression was gentle and demure, and she whispered in front of the door: "Lord Wang, are you there?" said that it was an inquiry, and the door had been gently pushed open with this greeting. Qi Linyu saw that Shen Qihuan's eyes had finally accumulated a trace of warmth, and it faded clean in an instant.

Qi Linyu's heart was bitter, but his face was the same as before, and he greeted the visitor: "Why are you here?"

Shen Quehuan kept his duty as a steward and stood up to greet the guests. Qi Linyu glanced at her half-eaten rice bowl, a little blocked. was much more indifferent to the arrival of Ye Xiaolian's master and apprentice, and he didn't even get up, but said "sit down" to the two of them, and still ate slowly.

Ye Xiaolian's face was not obvious, and her embarrassed ears were red. Cuicui hurriedly walked up to relieve the siege, "In the morning, the master and I waited left and right and waited for the prince to come to dinner, thinking that the prince talked to the steward too late last night, so he simply brought the food over." She moved the butter stewed chicken in front of Qi Linyu to the side, brought out the three dishes and one soup in the lunch box, and joked in a crisp voice like usual: "Cuicui loves to cook the most, if you don't like to eat Cuicui's dishes, then Cuicui won't help you say good things in front of the master in the future." ”

Shen Que glanced at Qi Linyu in amazement, and Qi Linyu intuitively felt like a man's back even if he didn't raise his head. Where can I eat anymore, I got up directly with my chopsticks, and said while cleaning my hands with a wet handkerchief: "I've been bothering your master and apprentice for the past few days, Meng Yi has sent a permanent steward, so I don't have to worry about eating here." There was a palpable detachment in his tone.

Ye Xiaolian couldn't hear what Qi Linyu meant, and the afterglow moved towards Shen Qihuan, but she feigned anger towards Cuicui: "You are really getting more and more unruly, the prince praised you for two sentences, your tail is about to go up to the sky, if you do this again in the future, you want me to take you down the mountain again." ”

Cuicui responded with a straight face, her eyes swept over the meal on the table that had not moved half of the chopsticks, and she couldn't help but peek at Qi Linyu's face.

Through the contact in the past few days, Cuicui knew that this rich prince was a cold-faced and hot-hearted man, and he was also a little different from her master. These days, the prince eats at the master's place, although he has not even seen half a word of gossip, Cuicui can feel that the prince is no longer as polite to the master as when he first went up the mountain, sometimes she makes a few jokes, he just pretends not to hear, and never shows displeasure in front of the master.

How to ...... today

At this time, there was another voice in the courtyard: "The prince is here?" Without waiting for Shen Que to welcome him out, an uninvited person appeared in front of the door.

This man has a calm eyebrow and a gentle temperament, wearing a white-gray cotton robe, like an ordinary young scholar.

Shen Qihuan was pondering who was in front of him, and Cuicui had already called enthusiastically: "He Da is also here?"

Shen Qihuan felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she thought of the situation when she helped the surrounding cities and counties to suppress bandits in Quyan, and those who were in charge of the village often had sideburns and beards and scarred faces, how could she have such a good appearance.

He Da and Ye Xiaolian stood together. Male bandits are not like male bandits, female bandits are not like female bandits, tsk, that's enough.
