The one hundred and forty-seventh round
Qin Fei prepared a table of "reward" wine and food for Cai Wei, she naturally didn't move a single chopstick, but in the evening she regretted it, because Qin Fei was like a god again, as soon as Concubine Jin came back from An Yuanbo's mansion in the afternoon, she called her over, gave her all kinds of rules, and asked her to wait for her mother-in-law.
"I went to Uncle Anyuan's Mansion today to make a big fuss about them, and counted them to a pulp in front of many other dignitaries in the capital! I asked them to return all the dowry they swallowed to me in three days, and my mother-in-law worked hard to get the dowry back for you, how can you thank me? Oops, I ran for a day, but when I came back, the car broke down again, repaired for a long time, sat in the car for a long time, my leg was sore, don't give me a beat! โ
Fortunately, she picked up the beauty hammer and didn't hammer it a few times, and it was time for dinner, and her daughter-in-law naturally wanted to wait for Concubine Jin for dinner. Concubine Jin originally wanted to call her niece Jin Cuiqiao over, so that the concubine could sit this time, and the concubine stood on the side and waited for them to eat, not wanting the maid to go back and say that the prince said that he wanted to eat and drink alone with Concubine Jin, so he had to do it, but he didn't forget to show off in front of his daughter-in-law.
"It seems that my son, naturally prefers Cui Qiao, you don't have a taste in your heart, this man loves concubines more, otherwise how can I say that my wife is not as good as a concubine? I think back then, when I was waiting for Prince Xianyide, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just a face-saving affection for the princess, and my concubine was really holding it in the palm of my hand, and I took great care of it! โ
Cai Wei lowered her head and smiled secretly in her heart: "This golden concubine likes to brag, I heard that she still entered the Yide Prince Mansion before Li Liangdi, the biological mother of King Yingchuan, but after several years, she is still just a low-level concubine who has no name, and the princess gave birth to three sons in those years, and Li Liangdi also got a son in front of her, which can be regarded as her luck, and she gave birth to a son on the day of Prince Yide's death, and then relied on her aunt to be the Empress Dowager Sun, so she can be so beautiful." She thought she didn't know her details, but she was ashamed to brag about it! โ
Concubine Jin saw that her head was hanging low, only when she was stimulated, her heart was even more cheerful, and she said more and more energetically, "What's more, Fei'er and Cui Qiao are cousins and cousins, and now that they are close to each other, he is naturally closer to her in his heart." I'm going to tell you about this way of being a woman, and this woman, in particular, can't be jealous, and can't see that a man likes a concubine and get angry and jealous to find trouble with the concubine. This man, which one is not three wives and four concubines, if you want to win the love of a man, you have to rely on your own ability, since you have no ability, you can't catch a man's heart without fighting, so who can blame it? โ
"Don't think that you are the main concubine, my niece is the second concubine, so she is a head shorter than you, whether it is in my mother-in-law's heart or my son's heart, Cuiqiao is a hundred times better than you. From now on, if you dare to bully me, my niece, out of jealousy that she has won the favor of our mother and son, I will not be able to spare you! โ
Sure enough, the mother-in-law and concubine are the most annoying, Cai Wei thought dejectedly, she blamed Qin Fei for this guy, forcing herself to marry him, this โกโก trouble, he still has this old and one young trouble in his family, causing so many things for himself. If he marries King Yingchuan, even if he has such a nasty concubine, at least he has a good mother-in-law. Could it be that all the knowledge I have learned from the book will be used to figure out how to fight with my mother-in-law and concubine in this back house?
This kind of day, it really makes her feel depressed just thinking about it!
So the loveless expression on her face made Concubine Jin feel more and more comfortable, she picked and ate the various dishes that Cai Weibu gave her, and said: "Didn't you say that in ancient times, this new daughter-in-law married in and wanted to cook a meal for her mother-in-law?" This fish doesn't taste good today, you go to the kitchen and make me a new bowl, remember, I don't want to braise or steam, I don't want boiled fish, sweet and sour fish, fried fish, grilled fish, I don't want it, because I've tasted it all, I just want your daughter-in-law here to make me a plate of fish that I have never tasted before. โ
"If you have made something that I have seen or tasted, then it is disobedient to my mother-in-law, and I will not punish you severely! Why don't you go and make me fish, none of you are allowed to help her!" โ
Zhou Caiwei, who was thrown into the kitchen by a person, looked at the same lonely perch in the basin, and then looked at a kitchen knife on the cutting board, and suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
She hated cooking the most, even if she was taught cooking by her grandmother when she was a child, she didn't have to pick and wash vegetables or anything by herself, not to mention that now she still has to take this fish out of the water by herself, disembowel, pick fat and scale, she is a big lady raised in the boudoir, where has she done this.
As for the dish that Concubine Jin made difficult for her, she was not afraid, she had already thought about what to make a chic and novel dish to pay her back, the most important thing was that the recipe of that dish was very simple, but no matter how simple it was, she had to fish the fish out of the water first, and then ......
Cai Wei stood by the basin and stared at the fish for a long time, gritted her teeth and put her hand into the water to catch it, but the fish was naturally slippery, she had never done this kind of work, and it was easy to catch it after the fish slid over her hand more than a dozen times, but the fish shook her head and tail and struggled, not only ran away from her hand, but also splashed the water on her face, and the clothes on her body were also wet.
She stood on the edge of the basin in a wolf dress, watching the fish swim leisurely in the water, and her nose was so aggrieved that she wanted to shed tears, even if she had not suffered this sin when she lived in the Anyuan Uncle's mansion under the fence, and was hungry to do the rough work of killing fish like a low-class cook.
These days, she has been aggrieved and depressed in her heart, but she is afraid that the people around her will worry, so she is just pressuring herself, but now she is provoked by this little thing, and she suddenly can't bear it anymore, and she wants to cry and vent. Suddenly she heard a "poof", there was laughter in the room where she was alone, she hurriedly looked around, and when she finally looked up, she saw Qin Fei wearing a purple robe, lazily leaning on a beam on the roof, looking at her with a smile, looking at her with a smug look of looking at her jokes.
"Tut-tut, being bullied like this by a fish, it's really weak, yo, your eyes are red, like a rabbit, if this king doesn't show up, I'm afraid you're going to start dropping golden beans, right?"
Cai Wei hurriedly wiped a handful of handkerchiefs on her face, and turned her face away hatefully, but she was so provoked by Qin Fei, she had an idea and thought of a way to come out. She looked around, found a few empty pots and clay pots, put them on the ground, and then picked up the basin containing the fish, and poured all the water into the pots, there was no water in the pots, and the fish couldn't jump for a while, and Cai Wei was not in a hurry, so she let the fish continue to jump around in the basin, lest she do it now, and be splashed with water by the fish.
Qin Fei sat on the beam, slapped his face, and said with a smile: "It's not too stupid after all, I know how to let go of the water first, so that this fish will be dehydrated and die, but it's a pity why I didn't think of it earlier, if you thought of it in the morning, you wouldn't have made it look so miserable!" Look at you, there is still water dripping from your hair, do you want this king to wipe it for you? โ
What he said before, Cai Wei was indifferent, hearing the last sentence, she subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but she only ran a step, only to feel a tightness on her waist, followed by a strong tug up, she couldn't help but fly up, and fell into the arms of the person on the beam.
This qiฤ happened too quickly, but between the lightning and flint, when she reacted and wanted to open her mouth to exclaim, her mouth was also blocked with warm lips.
Qin Fei had eaten enough tofu, and let go of her lips with some unsatisfactory intentions, and did not forget to scare her: "If you dare to call it out again, this king doesn't mind using this method to gag your mouth again!" โ
Cai Wei dared to look at her angrily, Qin Fei smiled, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, "There is a fishy smell on my body, why don't you wipe it quickly?" โ
Cai Wei didn't want to use his things, she touched her sleeve for a long time but didn't find her handkerchief, and then looked under the beam, it turned out that when she was rolled up the beam with a whip by Qin Fei, the handkerchief fell to the ground.
She was helpless, Qin Fei leaned over again and smiled: "Why, if you don't do it yourself, do you want this king to wipe your hair for you?" In that case, then the king will reluctantly help you! โ
Without waiting for Cai Wei to refuse, Qin Fei had already tightly wrapped her in her arms, and reached out to carefully wipe the water droplets on her hair and face for her.
It was also strange to say that it was not the first time that Qin Fei had held her in his arms, but this time when she was forced to lean on her chest, in addition to the original panic and disgust, she actually felt something different.
Maybe it was the faint manly smell on his body, maybe it was the gentle and careful action he wiped the water droplets for her, or maybe the warm snort that he fell between the hair on his forehead made his heart tickle, Cai Wei unconsciously closed her eyes, and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she kicked and played with a bow and was sweaty, and her father held her in his arms and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief......
Qin Fei didn't expect that this time Cai Wei would quietly lean on his arms, obediently let him move, the movements in his hand couldn't help but slow down, but his heart was beating faster and faster, he was afraid that Cai Wei would hear something, so he hurriedly pushed her away, "Hey, sit here obediently, this king is going to go down first." โ
Cai Wei suddenly felt empty, heard him say this again, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw that he had jumped off the beam, leaving her alone to sit on it, and couldn't help but be scared again.
She was afraid that Qin Fei would slap her ass and leave her alone, but after Qin Fei jumped down, she took out a dagger from her arms, walked straight to the basin that contained the fish, picked up the fish from the basin, and stabbed it with a knife.
Cai Wei said strangely: "What are you doing here?" โ
"Help your daughter-in-law kill fish?" Qin Fei replied without raising his head.
Cai Wei was stunned, this person would really be so kind?
Qin Fei waited for a long time, but didn't see her speak, and couldn't help but look up, and saw that she was frowning at herself with the beam pillar holding her hands on the side, and she didn't know what she was thinking, with a confused look, looking extremely cute.
She wore a pair of sky-blue bow shoes on her feet, and a pair of goose-yellow butterflies were embroidered on the tips of the shoes, which trembled slightly in mid-air like lifelike, and Qin Fei's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly lowered her head, and then smiled again: "Since this king has married you, he can't let you suffer and suffer, I'm afraid that you didn't scold me in your heart before, right?" complained that I was miserable, if this king doesn't come out to help you kill this fish, I don't know what it will be like to be scolded by you in your heart? โ
"It's just, because of this?" Cai Wei still couldn't believe it.
Qin Fei put away the smile on his face and said lightly: "What, don't believe it?" You never thought about marrying me, I robbed it hard, and you were already wronged in your heart, if you suffer some anger under my mother's hands, won't you hate me even more for snatching you, and think more and more about how comfortable life will be if you marry my good brother. โ
Cai Wei was told what she was thinking, her face turned red, and somehow, she suddenly felt a little weak, and she didn't dare to ask any more. Seeing that he was extremely skillful in disemboweling the fish with the knife in his hand, he couldn't help but wonder again: "You, uh, how could Your Highness kill the fish?" โ
Qin Feigui is the king of the county, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and his life should be more noble than her, not to mention that he is a man, "a gentleman is far away from cooking", even if he occasionally hunts or something, he will never go to the kitchen to practice killing fish, right?
Qin Fei's subordinates kept scraping the fish scales quickly, and sneered: "This king is not like my brother, who has been pampered in a big mansion. Didn't Mama Du tell you, when I was fifteen years old, I went out of Beijing to wander alone, at that time I left the palace for the first time, and went out alone, at the beginning there was silver in my purse, and every time I went, I chose the most expensive and best food to eat, and I had a good time. โ
"It didn't take long for the money I brought with me to be spent, and I didn't want to make money, and I didn't want to reveal my identity, let alone go back to Beijing, so I had to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and eat whatever I caught. In the wilderness, it's good to be able to catch only food, do you still expect the palace maids and eunuchs to help me kill fish and birds, pluck feathers and scrape scales? โ
"At that time, if I could catch a fish in the river, it would be a good meal, and sometimes I was very hungry, not to mention sparrows and frogs, but even rats and snake meat. Once, when I was staying in a cave overnight, a snake tried to bite me, but fortunately it was not poisonous, but it only ate a bite of my meat, but I caught it, skinned it alive, and roasted it for dinner. โ
Rao is Caiwei was personally raised by her father for three years, and she traveled all over the world, compared to ordinary ladies, she has seen a lot, but in the end, it is a girl's family, hearing that the two things of rats and snakes are already a little hairy, and then listening to Qin Fei casually talk about how to peel and eat these things, I feel even more disgusted.
She didn't eat the Gusu dishes prepared for her by Qin Fei at noon, and she didn't eat dinner, she was hungry until this point, she was already a little uncomfortable, and after listening to Qin Fei's words, she felt her heart beating wildly, her brain was dizzy, and her body was weak, and she actually fell from the beam.
