"Boss, let's have a bowl of shredded pork noodles with sauerkraut and a large intestine noodles." After receiving Wen Zhongnan's reply, Xia Chan immediately shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

Shopping is really a physical work, and I ate a lot of food from the big kitchen in the morning, and now my stomach is already grumbling with hunger. Wen Zhongnan took the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and handed it to Xia Chan

"Quench your thirst with a saliva."

Xia Chan took the teacup shop, and Xiao Er ran over from the other side, panting.

"The two of you are objective, we don't have the two bowls of noodles you ordered. Let's see if you want to change it. ”

"No?" Xia Cicada suddenly remembered that this was ancient times, and the pig's large intestine used to be something that everyone didn't eat. Now although the people of Qingyang County are already eating. But no one knows what the large intestine is. Xia Chan patted his head and chuckled. He looked back at the shopkeeper.

"Then I want the signboard of your store. Two bowls. Trouble a little faster. We're hungry. ”

"Okay guest officer, please wait a moment."

After the shopkeeper left, Wen Zhongnan put down the teacup and looked up at Xia Chan. "Is that pork intestine noodle the same large intestine you used to make braised pork when you were in Qingyang County? Isn't it a braised vessel? Can you still make noodles? And what is that sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles. Erya, I've always wondered why you know so many things that we don't understand. What's even stranger is that every time you make something out of it is delicious. ”

Who doesn't like to listen to praise, Xia Chan listened to Zhong Nan's words, and there was a touch of joy on his face. Picked up the teacup on the table and took two sips of tea.

"I don't know, maybe I'm too fond of eating. So I always come up with something that no one else has ever eaten. But this large intestine noodle is really delicious. I'll make it for you once when I have a chance. ”

"Then I'll see."

When I came out of the noodle shop, it was still early. Xia Chan thought that it was not easy to come out, it was not cost-effective to go back too early, so he took Wen Zhongnan to walk around the neighborhood again. When I came to the intersection again, the woman who had betrayed her father was still kneeling in the middle of the road. But there won't be so many onlookers anymore.

A trace of doubt flashed on Xia Chan's face. It's not that the ancients were more righteous and kind. How come a poor girl knelt in the cold wind all morning and no one came to help?

Xia Chan pulled Wen Zhongnan to the front, and after Xia Chan pondered for a while, she saw a woman she met at noon and hurriedly pulled Wen Zhongnan up to ask

"Auntie, that girl is so pitiful. Why is it that everyone just looks at it but no one is willing to help? ”

The aunt stopped and glanced up at Xia Chan, looked Wen Zhongnan up and down again, and then whispered mysteriously

"Girl, you're too young to look at you. Auntie advises you not to meddle in your affairs. You see how handsome that girl is. also threatened to help her bury her father. She will follow you as a slave to you. We are all women, and no one knows the little bit of caution that women think. Men are unreliable things again. If you are not careful that day and are taken away, you won't know where to cry if you want to cry. ”

Ahem. Xia Chan looked at the aunt in front of her in surprise. It turns out that the idea of preventing the third child has been passed down from ancient times to the present. But if a man wants to steal fish, it's not something you can prevent if you say it's going to be defensive.

The aunt didn't know what Xia Chan was thinking, so she looked up and glanced at Wen Zhongnan again.

"Girl. You're so handsome, and you're well dressed. Is there several concubines in the house? ”

Eh, Xia Cicada was stunned. I haven't come back to my senses for a long time. Why did this aunt start gossiping about herself as soon as she finished gossiping. Xia Chan just wanted to open her mouth to explain her relationship with Wen Zhongnan. Suddenly, a warm male voice came from behind him.

"Nope."

"What?" Xia Chan raised her head and looked at Wen Zhongnan with a puzzled expression.

Wen Zhongnan rarely saw such a stupid summer cicada. A chuckle tugged at the corners of his mouth. He spoke again and said, "There are no concubines in my room, and there are no maids in the same room. ”

"Oh, girl, you're so blessed. It's hard to find a man like that right now. You must treat this boy well. Well, it's not too early, and I have to hurry back to cook with my man. Remember that the girl must not bother with such idle things, otherwise you will be the one who will suffer at that time. Before leaving, the aunt looked uneasy and repeatedly told Xia Chan, which made Xia Chan smile bitterly. However, this girl's methods are completely pediatric in her eyes. It's just that the men in her heart who need her to get around with other women are not good men. She wouldn't want such a man either.

After the great god left, Xia Chan turned his head and looked at Wen Zhongnan with a stern expression, "It's not fun to hear Zhong Nan's jokes like this at all. Don't play anymore. ”

Wen Zhongnan's face flashed a touch of loss, opened his mouth, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth. He knew in his heart that she didn't understand, but before she understood, she had already given her heart to another person. She is a stubborn woman who likes to go all the way to the dark. In that case, what about him accompanying her. Loving but not being able to do it may be a punishment for the wrong things he has done over the years.

"On the way back yesterday, I heard that there was a lake tour outside the east gate this afternoon. Let's go over there and have a look. "Leaving her alone at home for half a month seems to be suffocating. When she went back early this morning, she was listless, and now she is alive. It seems that only the outside world is suitable for her.

"Swim in the lake. Is it the kind of young lady from a large family who will participate? ”

"Yes. Today, you can see many young ladies and young masters in the capital. You will also see a lot of literati and scholars. You can learn from each other's talents. At night, you can also put out lanterns. Guess the riddle. ”

"Is there anything delicious?" Xia Chan wasn't very interested in those crepe things, and for her, those things weren't as attractive as the delicious ones.

Wen Zhong Nan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, looked up at Xia Chan with a smile and shook his head. "You're so special. Alright, let's hurry up. Maybe there's something to eat there. ”

"Cut. Swindler. Xia Chan pouted. Wen Zhong Nan's expression had already leaked just now. Even if there is no good food by the lake. Thanks to him, he can still talk nonsense with his eyes open. But. It's better to have nothing to eat than to go straight home. She didn't want to have fun, and someone suddenly handed her a broom.

When Xia Chan and Wen Zhongnan came to the lake, the lake was already very lively. There were all kinds of carriages parked around, and Xia Chan knew that these carriages represented their official positions. Looking up to the side, I suddenly felt dazzled.

"Wen Zhongnan, how many people do you know here?" Xia Chan turned around and asked suddenly

Wen Zhongnan looked up into the distance with an indifferent expression. "Basically, they all know."

Xia Cicada was stunned. He glanced ahead suspiciously. "So many people, you know them all. That's an exaggeration. ”

Wen Zhongnan shook his head and glanced down at Xia Chan. chuckled, "What's so strange about this, if the officialdom can't be clear about each official's family background, there will be many detours in the future." Don't underestimate the backyard, sometimes the decision of some things is in the backyard. Don't underestimate those concubines. Some of them are the ones who really have real power. ”

Xia Chan turned around and rolled her eyes at Wen Zhongnan. "Got it. You men. Hum. ”

"Erya, don't compare me to others. I am me and they are them. Those things they do. I would never do it. ”

Xia Chan turned his head to Wen Zhongnan and shook his head and said, "Wen Zhongnan, you are wrong. I just said that really, just casually, don't you mind. I don't know much about officialdom though. But I also understand that sometimes you may be able to avoid a lot of detours because of a woman. In the face of such temptation, it is really normal to make such a choice. To tell the truth, men in officialdom are actually quite unlucky. Beside the daily beauty incense car. But none of them really like it. ”

Wen Zhongnan's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes stared straight at Xia Chan. The face is unquestionable. "Trust me."

Xia Chan turned to look to the side, a carriage came slowly, and after the carriage stopped, a beautiful woman wearing a veil got out of the carriage. Can't see the face clearly. But with a woman's intuition. This woman is either rich or noble. And has a beautiful face. Immediately afterward, another carriage came. After the carriage stopped, a man stepped out of the carriage. Xia Chan felt a little familiar, and looked up again. After seeing who that person was, he quickly turned around and wanted to get out of here. After Wen Zhongnan saw Xia Cicada's strange appearance, he turned his head and glanced ahead, his eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced back at Xia Cicada again.

A flash of worry crossed his face.

"Are you leaving? If you don't want to see him, I can take you away now. ”

After the shock just now, Xia Chan came to his senses and glanced up at Wen Zhongnan, shook his head, and raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

"No need. Now that I've come to the capital. Even if you don't see it today, there will always be a day to see it. If I know that it will meet again one day, why should I do it again today? ”

Wen Zhongnan's brows became more and more frowned, and his eyes looked behind Baili Chenxi. A chill flashed across his face. Suddenly raised his hand and took Xia Cicada's hand, dragged her and walked to the pavilion on the side. Xia Chan knew Wen Zhongnan's intentions and did not refuse, and followed him obediently, but his heart was messy.

If she had known that she would meet today, would she still choose to come here? Xia Chan shook her head, the answer was self-evident, but she finally chose to deceive herself.

Who was the woman next to him just now? Is it one of the two side concubines he is going to marry, or is it that he has another woman he likes.

"The woman who followed him was the daughter of King Jing, the county lord of Feiyan. King Jing died on the battlefield fifteen years ago. The princess then followed King Jing. Leaving the Feiyan County Lord as an orphan. The queen took pity on her and adopted her by her side. The same is fifteen years. This time, one of the prince's two side concubines was her. It is said that she is currently the most satisfying of the concubines chosen by the queen for the crown prince. ”

"It really should be satisfying. If my son marries a daughter who is considered his own, and I am also satisfied. ”

Xia Chan smiled bitterly and walked to the stone bench on the side and sat down.

"Wen Zhongnan, I want to open a restaurant. And it must be a better restaurant than the first floor in the world. ”

Wen Zhongnan walked to the opposite side and sat down, looking like he had known for a long time, and nodded. "With your cooking skills, I'm sure you'll be able to do it." The capital is not as good as Qingyang County, if you have any difficulties, you must remember to sue me. ”

"Thank you." Xia Chan continued: "But I may not be able to do the maid thing anymore recently. I'm sorry. But to tell the truth, the maid's job is really not easy to do, if you are not short of money, just raise some money with those subordinates. It's not easy for them. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you,"

A maid walked aside, holding a saucer and placing a teapot and cup on the stone table.

"This is the tea given by the county lord of our family for the two of us, please use it slowly."

"Thank you"

After the maid left, Xia Chan took the teapot and poured two cups of tea. One cup was given to Wen Zhongnan, and the other cup was studied left and right in his hand.

"Why do you all like tea so much? It's bitter and astringent. I don't like to eat it. I prefer to drink juice, milk tea, and coffee. It's really not good, even plain water is much better than tea. ”

"What is juice, milk tea. Is it your new idea to eat again? ”

"It's not food, it's a kind of tea that is drunk like tea. However, it tastes much better than tea. I'll make you a drink when I have time that day. ”

"Good. Erya, this is the second thing you promised me today. I've got it all in my heart. You can't break your word. ”

"I ......" Xia Chan was just about to speak, and Baili Chenxi took the woman Feiyan County Lord just now into the pavilion. Wen Zhongnan stood up and saluted the two of them. Xia Chan also learned to smell Zhong Nan's appearance and saluted the two of them.

Baili Chenxi stood opposite Xia Cicada, his cold eyes full of mixed tastes. His eyes stared straight at Xia Chan, but Xia Chan didn't look at him from beginning to end. Keep your head down and your eyes on the ground. to cover up her unsettled heart at this time.

"Second son Wen, is this ugly woman your new concubine? has no breasts and no ass, which point is better than Sister Yunting. If you want me to say, she can't even compare to one of Sister Yunting's toes. Hum. ”

Damn, who is she provoking someone, she was actually disgusted by a ** stinky yellow-haired girl. Looking up, just as he wanted to retort, Wen Zhongnan took the first step to grab her hand and pulled her behind him. Turning back and shaking his head at her. Then he turned to look at the Feiyan County Lord.

"Thank you, Lord County, for the point. It's just that someone has always had a bad eye. In my heart, she is the best woman in the world, and besides, the county lord just said something wrong. She's not someone's concubine, she's the wife I want to marry one day. And it's the kind that only marries her one in his life. ”

As soon as Zhong Nan's voice fell, Xia Chan's face was clouded, and a layer of haze appeared on Baili Chenxi's cold face. Feiyan Jun pointed his finger at Wen Zhong Nan angrily for a long time before he came up with something to refute.

"Wen Zhongnan, I think you're crazy. What's wrong with Sister Yunting, you would rather marry an ugly monster than Sister Yunting. You'll regret it. ”

Wen Zhongnan had a chuckle on his face, and looked up at the Feiyan County Lord with a calm face.

"Zi Fei knows the joy of fish. The county lord is not Wen, and he doesn't understand what is best in Wen's eyes. As I said, in my eyes she is the most beautiful woman in the world. What do other women have to do with me, why do I regret it. (To be continued.) )
