Chapter 61: The City

"Brother Jing, you wipe your face first."

"Just give me a cloth towel, give you water, rinse your mouth."

"Drink the soup while it's hot, and warm up first."

"And then eat something."

Ah Yao, who was wearing a sleeve-tied robe, was busy running forward and backwards, serving tea and water and adding soup, if she ignored the girl's braids that came down from her shoulders, she was completely like a little daughter-in-law who was busy working around her husband who returned late.

Lu Jingyuan, who has long been accustomed to coldness, feels like soaking in a hot spring, and all the 3,600 pores on his body are comfortable, and his perennially cold complexion has gradually become softer.

"Sit down when you eat." Gently rolling up his sleeves, he motioned for him to walk to the table.

Devoted to the idea of how to make the poor brother Jing for eighteen years really feel the care of others, A-Yao looked down at the dishes on the table. It just so happened that she had discussed with Master Kukai how to put the dishes, where to put the vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, and soup dishes, and when to put them, which was very knowledgeable.

Because the rules were too cumbersome, Master Kukai took the daily habits of the master of the Dingbei Hou Mansion as an example and explained it to Ah Yao in detail.

After saying it not long ago, Ah Yao remembers it clearly. A few simple dishes were easily arranged, and she bowed slightly: "Brother Jing, please use it." ”

"You sit down too, let's have some food together."

But she's already eaten it just now. Without waiting for Ah Yao to refuse, the big hand she was holding just now reached over, pulled her sleeve and dragged her to her side, and then handed her a pair of chopsticks with the other hand.

While receiving the chopsticks, Ah Yao, who had been keeping her head down and busy because she was a little nervous, finally saw the young man squarely. Although there was a red lantern at the entrance of the courtyard, his face was not very real when he stood in the shadows. Now the room is brightly lit, and his handsome facial features are clearly displayed in front of her eyes.

When she first met, Ah Yao faintly felt that the flamboyant young man in Xuanyi at the foot of Dongshan was probably the most handsome man she had ever seen in her two lives. The body is long and the facial features are impeccable, although the temperament is a little cold, and the moody temperament makes people even more cautious, but the powerful aura is even easier to ignore.

Tonight, however, under the bright candlelight of this place, he had been smiling as coldly as ice and snow under the sun. The corners of the tense lips tended to soften, and even the frightening eyes like eagles lost their previous power, and there seemed to be a spring water of tenderness flowing in them.

"Brother Jing."

Ah Yao only felt that her heart was beating so fast, and she seemed to be about to jump out.

In the moment when Ah Yao was stunned, Lu Jingyuan quickly glanced back, looked at Qingshuang with a cold gaze, and then turned his head to face Ah Yao again to regain his gentleness, and his face changed faster than the Sichuan opera face.

Receiving his eyes, Qingshuang shuddered, and looked at her girl like a little white rabbit walking to the depths of the wolf's den. Girl, it's not that Qingshuang is incompetent, but that the little marquis is too terrifying. After repentance, she bent her knees slightly and gestured to the maid beside her. The maid retreated lightly, and the last Qingshuang covered the door, and there were only two people left in the room in an instant.

"Huh?" The tail note was light, and Lu Jingyuan's tone was a little tempting.

"You're so good-looking."

This girl's face is already red into shrimp, but her heart has not yet opened. But now it was better than before, so relieved that he slowly guided her with a patience that he had never had before.

"What else?"

"Here," Ah Yao pointed to her chest, anxious and aggrieved: "Jumping so fast, it seems to be about to pop out." ”

Lu Jingyuan's eyes instantly glowed with an incomparably strong brilliance, as dazzling as the fireworks set off in front of the noon gate of the capital on Chinese New Year's Eve, instantly lighting up the entire night sky.

"Silly girl."

Unable to control it anymore, he stretched out his hand, and he hugged Ayao in front of him in his arms. As soon as her little head touched his chest, the lonely and cold heart of the past and present lives was instantly placed next to the flame that had been ignited from a high height, and it was already warm as long as she got a little closer, and she couldn't help but want to get closer.

"Jump, jump faster."

The arms he was holding around struggled weakly, and Ah Yao stammered.

"That's because you like me." Bowing his head and attaching it to her ear, Lu Jingyuan said extremely gently.

Ah Yao's brain was buzzing, and she subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"That's because you're ......"

Just as he was about to say the last three words, Lu Jingyuan suddenly paused, and his ears turned outside to listen intently. Clear footsteps came, and after realizing who was coming, the monstrous anger made the murderous aura around him almost condense into substance.

Ah Yao naturally felt it, and she bent her knees slightly under the trembling, and the whole person slipped out of his arms.

"You... Angry? ”

"No," Lu Jingyuan shook his head, but his gloomy face made this denial unconvincing.

It's no wonder that he can't control his feelings, he almost never misses what he wants to get in two lives, except for the stupid girl in front of him. When she came back today, she was uncharacteristically attentive, seeing that the atmosphere was just right, and the strongest desire of the two lives was about to be fulfilled, but at the last moment, she suddenly came out to make a personal disturbance.

Rao is no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to control his complexion.

"But you have a very bad face." Ah Yao was confused, and felt aggrieved faintly in her heart.

"It's okay," the footsteps got closer and closer, and Lu Jingyuan forced his face. Looking at the aggrieved silly girl in front of him, he knew that he had scared her, but how could he think about it.

"Tomorrow's military salary banquet, you go with you."

This is a big deal, and Ah Yao, who can only think about one thing in her head, temporarily put Fang Cai's displeasure behind her, "Originally, I was going to go, but I already said during today's rehearsal of the dance, and I will go over to help tomorrow." ”

Although she is unfamiliar with other things, she is better at food and clothing than anyone else. If you eat, Huaiyang cuisine has always been known for its delicacy, the imperial merchant Hu family is even more exquisite, and A-Yao, who was spoiled by thousands of pets, is the most exquisite person in the Hu family. Whether the roasted whole sheep feast tastes good or not, she can know when she tastes it. As for wearing, she inherited the ancestral talent of the Hu family, and has a natural sensitivity to the color and feel of the cloth, and she will have to check the layout and the dancing skirt tomorrow morning, and finally make sure that the whole thing is foolproof.

"It's not about sitting in the back and doing those chores, you can sit in the front with me tomorrow."

"Brother Jing?"

Ah Yao's head shook like a rattle, he was the first, what did she sit on. was about to refuse, when he heard a familiar cough sound outside the door, and then Daddy's voice sounded:

"Of course A-Yao wants to sit in my Hu family's position with me, who is my father."

"Daddy?"

Seeing the person who pushed the door in, A-Yao only felt that one head was two big.

"On the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, I said that Ah Yao will inherit the Hu family in the future, and sit in the position of the Hu family tomorrow, which is justified."

After speaking, Hu Jiuling looked at Lu Jingyuan, put it in his study, and deduced the matter of tomorrow's banquet for the last time. Just as he was about to rest, he saw Hu Gui coming over with Qingshuang.

Ah Yao is so enthusiastic about the little marquis, and now the two of them are alone in the same room...... When he heard the first sentence, he couldn't sit still, and when the second sentence came, he directly changed his walk to a trot. Panting and rushing to the outside of the hospital, he calmed down his breath a little and went in, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the invitation of the little marquis.

Sit with him? How can this work!

Seeing her daughter's red face and realizing that things might be more than that, Hu Jiuling was even more angry in her heart. He knew that the wolf cub was uneasy and kind, but now the two were in the same boat, otherwise he would have driven him out of the house.

Compared with Hu Jiuling, Lu Jingyuan is much calmer. When he was observing King Ping's banquet in the dark just now, the few words he heard already made him understand the reason why Hu Jiuling didn't like him.

Be a son-in-law? Although this is unlikely, he has encountered even the most difficult situation, although he has not come up with a comprehensive method for a while, but after knowing the reason, his mood is much more relaxed than when he was confused before. It was because he knew that he was being targeted, and he was still able to maintain his complexion.

"But I don't understand anything, a bunch of you people are discussing things there, I listen to the stars in my eyes, and sitting over will only make others see jokes."

A-Yao thinks so, anyway, she can hear it clearly in the back, what she should know will not be left behind, why should she go to the front to find it unhappy.

"It's not for you to sit in the middle and participate in the discussion," Lu Jingyuan explained: "Master and you are the most credible people I have in Qingcheng at the moment, so I want you to help record the donation details tomorrow and collect the deed." ”

Just help me remember something, she can do this. And with such a reason, she can also sit in front openly, without worrying about those people in the Shen family suddenly attacking her.

"Good!" After thinking about it, she nodded happily.

This is a wolf cub, it is clearly a cunning desert fox, Hu Jiuling's mind is slightly dull.

Turning his gaze to the steaming dishes on the table, he had an idea and touched his stomach.

"Patronizing and talking, I forgot that I hadn't eaten for most of the day. It's going to be a little hungry, and it just so happens that Master Hou has a hot meal here, so I guess you won't care about using some of it? ”

"When, then!" Lu Jingyuan almost bit out these two words from between his teeth, this was prepared for him by that girl herself, and it was the first time!
