On the way back, Su Qing saw Aunt Qin basking in the sun in the yard with that cane, so she couldn't help but go up and say hello.

Aunt Qin didn't even open her eyes, and said a faint "um", obviously not paying much attention to her.

Su Qing was tired of being there, and couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Qin, you have lived in the palace for so long, do you know the taste of the prince?" ”

"You want to prepare food for the prince?" Aunt Qin raised her eyes at this time, and saw that she nodded again and again, her face was wrinkled slightly, and she closed her eyes again, her tone was lazy, "If you want to say what flavor our prince likes, it should be, it depends on his mood." ”

Su Qing: "......"

yes, I still have to go back and think about it slowly.

Su Qing turned around and went into the kitchen, and only in the evening did he get out of a pile of firewood, and went to change his clothes in a hurry. As the sun set, the maids came to the kitchen one after another to receive the dishes from the Ninth Courtyard of the Houfu, she dressed up simply, and also sent dinner to Gu Yuan.

After a few days of consideration, Su Qing had almost given up on conquering Gu Yuan in terms of appearance. Obviously, the man had no interest in the woman's looks, and even whether he was interested in a woman was to be considered, but fortunately, he had a rare idea of his craft. Instead of insisting on confirming Xiang Zi's proud appearance, it is better to start teasing his stomach, knowing that this is also a big shortcut to capture a man's heart. Therefore, today's dinner for Gu Yuan was cooked separately, which can be said to have put a lot of effort into it.

When Su Qing arrived at the door, he happened to bump into the two people who came out of the house.

Lin Ying snorted coldly through her nose when she saw her, revealing the same disdain as before. Ji Luan's face next to him was not very good-looking, but after inhaling the tip of his nose, he suddenly came to the side of the food box she brought and sniffed: "Woman, what is in here, it smells quite good." ”

Su Qing knew that this little kid was not easy to mess with, so he incomprehensibly protected the food behind him, and replied, "This is dinner for the prince." ”

Ji Luan looked up at Su Qing: "I heard that you came to Houfu to be a cook?" Then you also made the food in the master's house at noon today? ”

Su Qing nodded vigilantly.

Ji Luan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to say something, but Lin Ying had already dragged him out with a calm face, and his tone was obviously displeased: "What do you know besides eating, go back to business!" ”

Ji Luan wanted to resist, but was restrained by his backhand and was carried out like a kitten with teeth and claws. This strength seemed to be completely unloaded, and it seemed powerless in front of Lin Ying. Yaoyao, there was an unbearable roar: "Lin Ying, you let me go for the master!" Believe it or not, one day I'll tear down your house! ”

Lin Ying smiled coldly: "If you dare to demolish my house, I will tear down all the bones of you and Yan Fusheng and feed them to the dogs." ”

I don't know if I'm really scared, Ji Luan is really silent.

I have to say, one thing descends one thing.

Su Qing watched them walk away with interest, calmed down a little, knocked on the door, and said, "Lord Wang, dinner is here." Hearing Gu Yuan say "come in", he pushed the door and entered the house.

A wooden table, two candlesticks on it, and the surrounding bookshelves are full of ancient books, and the books are fragrant. Gu Yuan was looking at the folds on the side of the desk, and the books on the side were stacked thickly like a hill, covering a little candlelight, and half of his face flickered and darkened, making it more and more difficult to explore. His expression was pale, and he was not disturbed in the slightest by her presence.

Su Qing was already good at observing words and feelings, so he didn't bother at this time, and lightly took the food out of the food box one by one and put it on the table, seeing that Gu Yuan was still pursing his lips and thinking deeply, he retreated to the side and waited quietly.

It was getting dark, and I felt slightly tired against the wall, and I couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. Su Qing inadvertently raised her head, just in time to see Gu Yuan get up, and the yawn that came to her mouth was suddenly swallowed back by her. is still a respectful posture of bowing his head, but he deliberately deviates a little to the side, so that his good-looking side words are just right exposed under the candlelight.

Gu Yuan's eyes swept over her thoughtfully, raised his glass and took a sip, and said, "This wine is a little lighter." ”

Su Qing said: "The dinner prepared by the slave family for the prince is the best with this bamboo leaf green." ”

Gu Yuan said: "What do you mean by this? ”

Su Qing leaned over and poured another cup for Gu Yuan, his fingers were as thin as onion roots, pinched the wine glass and handed it to him, Ying Ying pointed at it: "Lord Wang might as well try this plate of 'Rippling Fangfei'." ”

Gu Yuan tasted a bite, and tasted the sake again It was really much more comfortable, and finally looked at her, and smiled meaninglessly: "It's a little interesting." ”

Su Qing lowered his head under his gaze, and replied with a little flattery: "At noon, I heard that the prince said that the prince had a poor appetite today, and the slave family went back and thought about it, it should be caused by too much drinking, so he would dare to give it a try." These dishes can nourish the spleen and lungs, and can be used to drinking sake instead of spirits. The prince's body is caused by years of fatigue, and the slave family has medicinal food effects, if the prince can eat it for a long time, it is better. ”

"In this case, it's time for the lady to help take care of it." Gu Yuan's gaze fell on her somewhat cramped face, and his fingertips tapped on the tabletop, meaningfully hooking the corners of his lips. A woman who is accustomed to wearing various masks can indeed make him a little interested sometimes.

Today, Su Qing's original intention was just to attract this person's attention first, and when he saw that his goal was achieved, he meekly raised his eyebrows on the side and smiled silently. Many times many things are often not achieved quickly, especially in a man of Gu Yuan's status. She could feel a faint gaze sweeping over her body, and under such probing, Fan Dai's eyebrows seemed more and more constricted.

After eating without a word, Gu Yuan watched Su Qing clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and just as she was retiring and leaving, she suddenly spoke: "Those bandits on the mountain west of the city, this king has already asked Lin Ying to take people to clean them up." ”

Su Qing just stepped out of the door and paused slightly, turned around to meet the deep and sharp gaze, his eyes drooped to cover the fleeting panic, and his face instantly flashed with a sense of relief, and said: "Lord Xie avenges the slave family!" He thanked him, and in order to show his truth, he raised his sleeve and wiped the dry corners of his eyes.

"You're welcome." Gu Yuan's tone was flat, "It's late at night, if the lady spares her life, it's better not to walk around the back house at night." ”

The last sentence seems to be meaningful.

Su Qing was a little absent-minded, and respectfully held the food box and withdrew.

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, her face was swept away in an instant, and she folded her hands together in pain, and bowed to the moon in the sky again and again: "Amitabha, Amitabha, big brother of thieves in the west of the city, I hope you can ascend to Bliss as soon as possible!" The little woman really has no intention of harming your lives, she has a debtor and a master, it is Gu Yuan who killed you, if you want to find him, remember to go to him, but don't be angry with me......"

That being said, but after all, she didn't kill Beren, but Beren died because of her. Su Qing leaned over and respectfully bowed, shrunk his neck under the cold wind, and walked back with palpitations.

Wipe out the bandits in the west of the city. Gu Yuan said it lightly, who knows what kind of bloody storm is behind this? The person who was slain had to have fifty if not eighty, and this bloody human life came out of his mouth, and it was just a sentence without ups and downs, "You're welcome".

This is the man she needs to abandon once, if she really vents her anger for the people who have been hurt by him in this way, it is estimated that no matter how far she runs to the ends of the earth, she will be caught and broken into thousands of pieces, right? Su Qing was almost moved to cry by his great feelings of sacrificing himself.

On the way back to the thatched hut, Su Qing's mind was full of those righteous bandits, and he was reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart, when a black figure suddenly popped out of the shadows, and before he could come back to his senses, there was already a bright knife on his neck. The cold blade looked particularly clear in the cold night, which made her feel even more desolate. Wouldn't it, retribution come so quickly?

The man's wheezing voice was extremely heavy, obviously extremely injured, and his tone was also low and cold: "You have two choices, take me out or die here." ”

In normal times, this seems to be a rhythm that scares people into discoloration, but as soon as the words fell into his ears, Su Qing couldn't help but be a little stunned.

How does this sound familiar?

For a while, she didn't dare to make friends, so she hesitantly pulled the corners of her mouth and asked tentatively: "This strong man, you shouldn't be from Gushu City, right?" ”

The knife against her neck couldn't help but let go when she heard the words, and the man's hoarse tone was a little surprised: "Who are you?" ”

It's you big-headed ghost! Su Qingqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, turned his head to stare at the only remaining pair of black eyes under the mask, and said word by word: "Is there a mistake!" Are all you dogs in the city? The old lady will follow wherever she is, and there is no end, imitation? ”

"Su ...... Miss Sue? How did you end up here? The man shook his body when he saw her face, and the knife fell to the ground with a force.

"Thanks to the blessing of the young master of your family, can there be any other reason for me to stay in the place besides making a lot of money?" Su Qing looked his appearance up and down, and couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows. Wheezing so badly, it was obvious that he was extremely seriously injured, and since he could be so seriously injured, it meant that he had already alarmed the guards in the palace.

After thinking for a moment, Su Qing slowly raised a finger, and the smile on the corner of his lips gradually became richer: "For the sake of the face of the young master of your family, it is cheaper for you, and 10,000 taels of silver tickets will save your life, but it is a good deal?" ”

The woman in front of her smiled skillfully but had a black heart and black lungs, and she felt a surge in her chest, and spit out a mouthful of blood, and the black shadow in front of her covered her, and she completely fainted.

Su Qing glanced at the man who was already unconscious, and shook his head helplessly. No matter what, it's an old acquaintance, and it's hard to think that he is acquiescing to this deal.
