Chapter Seventy-Two: A Good Man at Home
"How?" Lu Qinghuan glanced at Gui Bao puzzled, and had a trace of bad thoughts in his heart, and recalled it carefully, only then did he think of Lu Qinghuan in the past, and what he was most afraid of was the sound of cannonballs.
This is also a must-have program for Lu Yuge and Lu Yutang to tease her every Chinese New Year.
At this time, she really wanted to knock on her elm head, these memories that belonged to the previous master, if she didn't think about it deliberately, they wouldn't have appeared in her mind.
Just now, she almost didn't think about it and put forward a request to play artillery battles, but who would have thought that Lu Qinghuan was afraid of artillery battles in the past?
In order to avoid Gui Bao's suspicions, Lu Qinghuan had to find a lame reason for himself: "Because I was always tricked by Qi Niang and Shi Lang in the past, I will also try artillery battles today, so that they will not dare to tease me in the future!" ”
Gui Bao is simple, as soon as he heard Lu Qinghuan say this, he immediately believed it, remembering Lu Qinghuan's miserable appearance in previous years, his eyes suddenly teiled, and he looked at Lu Qinghuan pitifully and said: "What the lady said is that the maid will go to buy artillery battles, there is Lord Yushi here, and the lady is so brave!" ”
Gui Bao's words immediately made Pei Yuan, who was depressed just now, feel very good, he glanced approvingly at this very talkative servant, and decided that if he entered Pei's mansion in the future, he would definitely reward her heavily.
Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but secretly turn white, and said in his heart: I'm not afraid at all, okay, what kind of courage do you want him Pei Yuan to be strong?
refused Gui Bao's mention of going to the street to buy artillery battles, leaving her to help Helan, and Lu Qinghuan and Pei Yuan went to the street together.
Although there are not many vendors on the street, there are still many shops along the street that are open, and Lu Qinghuan not only bought artillery battles, but also bought a lot of stickers and window grilles for the New Year.
She walked around Helan Xuanyi's courtyard before, and found that although the courtyard was clean and tidy, it was too clean and had no New Year's flavor at all, so she had the idea of pasting a little New Year's painting in her heart.
Talking about playing artillery battles is just an excuse to go out on the streets!
The two came back with a bunch of things, and Lu Qinghuan instructed Gui Bao and the black-clothed guards to paste the New Year's pictures together, not only them, but even Pei Yuan was instructed by her to paste it.
Lu Qinghuan pinched a door god, stood beside Pei Yuan, looked at his slender and clean fingers gently pressing the corner of the New Year's painting, and the other hand held a brush to brush the paste step by step, obviously a vulgar thing, but he made an elegant style, as if he was not brushing paste, but painting and inscribed poems.
As soon as he finished his busy work, Helan Xuanyi walked out of the kitchen, looking at the New Year's pictures posted in the courtyard and on the windows, and his always cold face was also dyed with a little excited.
"When the dish is ready, I'll bring it out!"
"No, no, no!" When Lu Qinghuan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said to Pei Yuannu: "You have been busy all morning, go and change your clothes first, and we will serve the dishes!" ”
Helan was stunned, "How can I let you do ......it?"
Knowing Helan Xuanyi's awkward temperament, Lu Qinghuan didn't bother to say more to him, so he turned around and went directly to the kitchen. When I saw the small kitchen table full of dishes, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God, how many dishes have you cooked?" ”
"Sixteen dishes...... Helan Xuanyi is the first time to receive guests, and it is also the first time in recent years that someone has accompanied him to have a New Year's dinner, so he doesn't know how many dishes to cook, so he made all the dishes he is good at and made up the auspicious numbers.
Lu Qinghuan said that she came to have a New Year's dinner that day, but she wanted Helan not to be too lonely on this day of Chinese New Year's Eve, but she didn't think Helan could cook, after all, the ancient admiration was a gentleman who was far away, but I didn't expect him to not only do it, but also make so much, I just don't know how it tastes......
However, she privately thinks that men's cooking talent is generally better than that of women, and Helan has superb medical skills, so presumably her cooking skills will not be bad!
She smiled and quipped: "Helan, you really can go up to the hall and get a good family gentleman in the kitchen!" It will definitely be a happy thing to be your wife in the future! ”
Helan might as well Lu Qinghuan said this, her face was crimson, and she didn't know how to respond, so she nodded indiscriminately and went into the room to change her clothes.
Pei Yuan naturally heard what she said, and the face that was smiling just now suddenly became cloudy, and the speed at which he changed his face was comparable to the speed of a god.
It's a pity that Lu Qinghuan didn't notice him at all at this time, she sniffed hard, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Helan to make eight-treasure duck, sauce elbow, and white baked chicken in addition to roasting lamb chops!" ”
These dishes are not only cumbersome, but also very time-consuming, Helan Xuanyi has to make sixteen dishes by himself and make so many big dishes, which shows how hard he cares.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qinghuan could tell the name of the dish just by smelling it, Pei Yuan looked at her with a salivating look, and couldn't help laughing: "You are like a little gluttonous cat now!" ”
Lu Qinghuan didn't refute, but nodded in agreement, and said "meow": "I know I'm hungry, why don't you hurry up and serve the food!" ”
Xu was aroused by Lu Qinghuan's enthusiastic feelings, and the atmosphere began to become warm and warm, even the black-clothed guard, who had always been cold, seemed to be infected with the joy of the New Year at this time, and the expression on his face was also much more relaxed.
Under Lu Qinghuan's command, several people moved all the dishes to the table in the hall, except for Guibao and Helan, even Pei Yuan and the black-clothed guard were instructed by her.
Moving stools and moving stools, wiping tables and wiping tables, setting dishes and chopsticks and pouring wine, at this moment, there is no distinction between the master and the servant, just like a harmonious family.
When Helan Xuanyi came out after changing into clean clothes, he saw several people standing aside and waiting, and hurriedly invited Pei Yuan to take a seat, Pei Yuan was an official and a guest, so he should naturally take a seat.
The two were polite, but Pei Yuan refused, and only said: "Shu Ming is the master, and he is a few years older than me, just like my brother, he should be seated." ”
Lu Qinghuan knew that Pei Yuan wanted to win over Helan, and she really needed Helan to help her, and what she didn't want was that Helan had always felt inferior because of her identity, so she also helped Pei Yuan persuade a few words. Helan couldn't, so he had to sit down as he said, and Pei Yuan sat on his left hand.
Lu Qinghuan was just about to choose a seat opposite Pei Yuan to sit down, but he saw him sweeping over, and then a cool sentence floated out: "Since you are a guest, you should sit on my side!" ”
Lu Qinghuan has always not understood the etiquette of these guests, and when he heard Pei Yuan say this, he thought that he couldn't sit in the position he chose, so he turned around and sat next to Pei Yuan.
Helan Xuanyi, who was on the main seat, lowered his eyes and covered the loss in his eyes.
He could see that Pei Yuan was interested in Lu Qinghuan, and because of this, he was unwilling to owe Pei Yuan a favor. He hopes that one day, he will have the qualifications to pursue Lu Qinghuan openly!
