Chapter 132: Lunch
Xiang'er and Pepper were secretly relieved when they saw them sitting upright.
That's fine, and the old lady can explain it too. Xiang'er secretly thought in her heart.
"King Qingping, Miss, we're back." Xiang'er didn't hesitate, stepped into the house with a smile, and blessed them.
"Okay." Xi Zhen looked at her and replied with a smile
Seeing that Xiang'er had entered, Pepper hurriedly came in with a wooden bucket full of spring water.
Xiang'er hurriedly boiled the water.
"Miss, we saw those goldfish raised by Jingbo, they are so beautiful!" Xiang'er said to Xizhen as she stuffed firewood into the stove.
"Really? King Qingping, do you want to go and see it? Xi Zhen turned his head to look at Chu Zihou and asked with a smile.
Chu Zihou's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Okay! ā
"Then let's drink a few cups of tea from the spring and eat some snacks before we go." Xi Zhen Ti yƬ.
"Good!" Chu Zihou replied briskly.
It's noon, and it's time to eat. Before, the two of them were only concerned with talking, and they forgot the passage of time
Xiang'er knew that they were going to have lunch, and hurriedly beckoned Pepper to come and boil the water, and she was going to serve them to eat.
Xiang'er lifted the lid on the food, laid out the food as if it were a snack, and served them hot tea.
"King Qingping, my young lady knows that you like to eat osmanthus cakes and horseshoe cakes, so I got up before dawn today and was busy with Mother Chen in the kitchen." Xiang'er said with a smile.
"Really? That's hard work for you! Chu Zihou looked at Xi Zhen with concern and said.
Xi Zhen blushed and said, "It's just a trivial matter, why bother?" ā
Chu Zihou then picked up an osmanthus cake to taste. After only a few bites, I couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Sweet in the fragrant, soft and tough, delicious!" ā
"Eat more if it's delicious." Xizhen said with a smile. Pick one up and eat it slowly.
She looked at Chu Zihou while eating, and both of them had sweet smiles on their faces.
It's so warm to spend an afternoon like this!
"Xiang'er, pepper, you guys come and eat too." Xi Zhen beckoned to them, and they were not polite, and approached to have lunch together.
Because Chu Zihou liked it, he ate a plate of osmanthus cake and a plate of horseshoe cake respectively, and drank two glasses of plum wine on the cold salad he brought.
Everyone was very happy to see him eating so happily.
Miss and King Qingping are really a rare pair! One can then make food. One likes to eat the food she cooks so much, and the little days in the future must be so sweet that it will be jealous! Thinking like this, Xiang'er couldn't help but look forward to their marriage.
It's just that I don't know if Miss will let her accompany her when the time comes.
In case the young lady doesn't let her go with her. She will definitely be very reluctant to miss.
Thinking of this, Xiang'er's face was a little gloomy.
Seeing King Qingping and Miss Qingping eating lovingly like an old husband and wife, Xiang'er was sincerely happy for them. Compared with her own situation, she sighed secretly in her heart.
Chu Zihou and Xizhen, who had eaten dim sum and cold vegetables, went to the back mountain hand in hand.
Pepper and Xiang'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks very tacitly.
This time. They weren't worried about Chu Zihou and Xizhen who were going to the back mountain.
On a sunny afternoon in early spring. Chu Zihou held Shen Xizhen's slender jade hand and walked forward. As they walked, they admired the surrounding plum gardens, and felt that there was nothing happier in the world than this.
In the depths of the garden, the winding paths are secluded, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, showing a picture of vitality everywhere.
Chu Zihou personally plucked a plum blossom that was blooming brightly and inserted it in her bun, and looked at the joy of people for a long time, and her heart was as sweet as drinking honey.
At the spring, Chu Zihou carefully folded off a bamboo leaf, washed it, and folded it into a small bucket. Fill her with water.
She took it and took a few sips gently. Immediately, a coolness runs through the whole body.
"The water is very sweet, you can drink some too." Xi Zhen said to Chu Zihou, handed him the small bucket made of bamboo leaves, and he put another bucket on his head and drank it.
"It's delicious!" He laughs.
Hee Zhen reached out and gently wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
He was so moved by this intimate and considerate gesture that he hurriedly leaned down to be served by her.
When she was done, he gently pulled her into his arms.
"Ah Zhen, you must take care of yourself on the road, I am waiting for you to return safely."
"Rest assured, I'll be back safely."
Chu Zihou leaned down and kissed her smooth forehead, and hugged her tightly again.
If only she knew what he wanted.
Then, the two went to see the goldfish raised by Jingbo.
In the small fish pond, eight goldfish are swimming happily, looking so loving and unrestrained.
Xizhen's heart couldn't help but move.
She took a closer look and found that the eight goldfish were divided into four varieties, one pair for each species, namely the magpie flower dragon eye, the panda goldfish, the red pearl and the phoenix tail dragon eye.
They were playing in pairs and playing with each other, and they seemed to be very affectionate. Xi Zhen and Chu Zihou stared at them for a long time, and their mood was also rare to relax.
The reflection of the two is printed on the surface of the lake, one is long and graceful, and the other is slender and soft, looking extremely right.
They suddenly have the feeling of 'a lifetime and a couple', and infinite love sprouts in their hearts. She leaned gently into his broad bosom.
"Ah Zhen, I think we are just like them, we are destined to live together with affection and love." Chu Zihou looked at her reflection and said softly.
"Yes."
"I have sent people to build a leisure courtyard on Twin Islands and Lingxi Bay, and when we get married, we can go there for vacation, and when we are old, we can still live there in seclusion, as long as you want, we can live a paradise-like life at any time."
It turned out that he had everything arranged.
As soon as Xi Zhen's eyes were hot, his eyes turned red, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay!" ā
What else could she say? With his love, she felt that she had no regrets in this life.
He kissed her lightly on the lips and said, "Let's go back to the house, so that they don't have to worry." ā
Xi Zhen nodded hurriedly, admiring his thoughtfulness in his heart.
Back in the house, they drank a few more cups of green tea from the spring before packing up and going home.
Chu Zihou personally sent her to the Hou Ye's Mansion and then returned to the Wangye's Mansion.
Three days later, Xi Zhen set off for Gan Kingdom, and there were twenty-five envoys and fifty strong guards on the same road with her, including Li Changsheng, which was the third cooperation between Xi Zhen and him.
On this day, Xizhen put on the men's clothes that she had not seen for a long time.
Dressed in a white robe, she looks so petite in the team of men, but she has an aura that cannot be ignored.
Emperor Guangzhao set up a banquet to congratulate them, and Chu Zihou was also among them.
Seeing that he was about to be separated from her for a while, Chu Zihou's eyes were full of reluctance when he looked at her.
But he knew that this was the path she had chosen a long time ago, so he could only pray for her silently. (To be continued......)
