Chapter 3 Foothold
The house in the countryside is obviously also repaired, the place is not large, there are two yards in front and back, and there is a flock of chickens running in the yard.
Xie Roujia knelt on the Luohan bed by the window and threw a handful of crushed dim sum dregs out of the window, causing a group of chickens to grab the excitement.
There was a little girl in the yard who ran in, handed a burden to Xiaoling who heard the sound, turned her head to leave, and couldn't help but look curiously at Xie Roujia who was teasing chickens by the window.
Xie Roujia noticed that her gaze also looked over.
The little girl was hit and looked at her a little sneeringly, but she didn't run away in a hurry.
"Madam, these chickens like to eat bugs, I'll go and catch some bugs for you." She said boldly.
Xie Roujia smiled and nodded.
"Okay." She said.
The little girl Shi Li happily ran away.
"Miss Roujia, let's change your clothes." Xiao Ling said in the house.
Xie Roujia clapped her hands and turned around, watching Xiao Ling take out her clothes from a bag.
"Do you like these critters?" She said with a smile.
"I used to have two peacocks." Xie Roujia said, paused at this point, and smiled again, "My fifth uncle gave it to me, it's very beautiful." ”
"Peacocks are like phoenixes, and I've heard people say that phoenixes that have lost their feathers are like chickens." Xiaoling said.
Xie Roujia laughed.
"Yes, yes, almost, the chicken is a little taller, the tail is a little longer, it's like a peacock." She laughed.
Xiao Ling put her hand on her head again and waved.
"And the cockscomb has to change." She laughed.
The laughter rose again, so that the girls who walked in outside to set the meal couldn't help but smile at each other.
The lights were lit in the room. Xie Roujia looked down at the clothes she had just changed, the dark green home-style shirt and dress, which was similar to what she wore every day when she was at home.
But this is definitely not the clothes she brought, because it was Xie Rouhui who arranged the marriage at the beginning, so the clothes sent over were all Xie Rouhui's, and they were all the clothes worn by the bride, after all, they were still preparing for the wedding after entering Beijing.
"Your Highness got me new clothes?" Xie Roujia looked up and asked.
Xiao Ling, who was putting the meal on the table, was stunned by the question.
Asked directly?
"yes." She said with a smile.
"Just because I said I thought it was weird to wear that dress in the morning?" Xie Roujia said with a smile.
Xiao Ling pursed her lips and smiled.
"Probably." She said, "I don't know, His Highness sent it." ”
This man is really...
Xie Roujia glanced at the food that had been arranged.
"Has Your Highness eaten?" She asked.
Xiao Ling shook her head.
"I don't know." She said, "Madame, will you go and have a look?" ”
Is this what a girl should say?
The girls on the side couldn't help but glance at Xiaoling. Shouldn't you immediately say that you should go and see for yourself? How do you get Madame to go?
Oh. Go over and take a look?
This sentence passed through Xie Roujia's ears, and she didn't see him again after entering the door.
"Okay, then go over and have a look." She said.
Xiao Ling smiled and asked, and waved her hand to the girl on the side.
"Bring the food box." She commanded in a low voice. "Go to Your Highness."
The girls are busy answering yes.
Xie Roujia walked to the front yard. compared to the backyard. Because of the parked carriages and horses, and the servants and guards coming and going, it was a little crowded.
"Your Highness lives in this room." Xiao Ling pointed to a room and said.
Compared to the three rooms I live in. This room also looks a lot shabby.
Someone was lifting the curtain and coming out.
"Mr. Bai." Xiao Ling shouted.
The scribe looked surprised when he saw Xie Roujia coming over.
"Madame is here." He shouted, and hurriedly turned back to the interior and said, "Your Highness, Madame is here." ”
The king of Dongping, who had just sat at the dinner table in the room, was a little surprised.
Something?
"Please." He hurriedly said, while standing up, seeing his red robe, he hurriedly raised his hand again, "Wait a minute." ”
The scribe had already smiled and opened the curtain himself.
"Madam, Your Highness please." He said, as soon as he finished saying this, he heard Dongping's sentence Wait a minute, and his hand subconsciously loosened the curtain.
The curtain fell against Xie Roujia's nose, and she took a step back in fright.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Xiao Ling hurriedly supported her.
The scribes were also a little scornful.
"Madame, wait a minute." He said, glancing indoors.
It's called backsliding, isn't it? Did he hear him right?
Fortunately, he didn't wait long, and after a while, the voice of the king of Dongping County came from inside, and the scribe personally lifted the curtain again.
"I got it right this time." He said.
This person is funny, teasing and at ease.
Xie Roujia smiled and stepped forward.
The king of Dongping, who was wearing a homely cloth robe, smiled at her.
"Your Highness, do you want Madame's food to be brought in?" The scribe came in and asked, his gaze turning to the king of Dongping.
"You haven't eaten yet?" The king of Dongping asked, and then pointed to the dining table here, "Let's go together." ”
Xie Roujia nodded in response, Xiao Ling hurriedly lifted the curtain and let the girls in, and the scribe stood aside with a smile and watched.
"Do you want Mr. Bai to eat together?" The king of Dongping looked at him and said.
Xie Roujia looked back at the scribe.
"Didn't Mr. Bai eat it either?" She said, "Let's go together." ”
The scribe smiled dryly and hurriedly gave a salute.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I still have some things to do." He said.
Before the two of them could speak any more, they hurried out, the curtain cut off the view, and the scribe breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed again.
It turns out that I was waiting for a change of clothes.
However, now this white silk robe is not as good as the appropriate red robe, the king of the county still looks good in red, and the aesthetics of young people are not good.
………………………………………………………
The girls set up the meal, and Xiaoling took them out.
"Can you get used to it?" Dongping County King said.
"Habit, I'm used to it wherever I live." Xie Roujia said, standing and looking around the room, "What about Your Highness?" It's a bit small here. ”
Walked over to the bed again.
"The walls are also a little shaded."
"Are these tents new? Won't it be boring? ”
Seeing her little adult generally inspecting the room and raising concerns, King Dongping couldn't help but smile.
She said that she was used to living anywhere, and if a person said that she was used to living anywhere, it was clear that she didn't care about the living environment at all, the good ones didn't care, and the bad ones didn't care.
"It's because there have been no people for a long time, people have moved in, and if they have popularity, it will be fine in two or three days, and the tent will be stored in the box, and they will change it in a while." He answered her words seriously one by one, and finally said, "I'm used to living wherever I live." ”
Xie Roujia sighed.
"Your Highness has been walking a lot since he was a child." She said.
"Yes." The king of Dongping County said, motioning for her to sit down, "Eat quickly, it's going to be cold." ”
There was a well-defined meal on the table.
"My taste is heavy, you are looking for Pengshui's chef to make it, and he said that he is a distant relative of the housekeeper of your kitchen." The king of Dongping said, "You taste it and see if he has lied to me." ”
Xie Roujia smiled.
"Who can fool Your Highness." She said, brushing her sleeves and eating the dishes with great interest, while tasting it seriously, she nodded with a smile, "It's even more delicious than what I make at home." ”
The king of Dongping County smiled and didn't speak, and lowered his head to pick up vegetables.
Xie Roujia had already used chopsticks to clip it over for him.
"Your Highness will taste it too." She said, "Are you used to eating?" ”
"Wander all over the world and taste all kinds of flavors." The king of Dongping County said, putting the dish that Xie Roujia brought over into his mouth.
Xie Roujia looked at him with bright eyes.
"How?" She asked.
King Dongping nodded, thought about it, picked up the chopsticks and gave her the dishes in front of him.
"You try this one of mine." He said.
Xie Roujia smiled and ate it, with a serious aftertaste.
"Everything else is fine, it's just a little salty." She said, without waiting for the king of Dongping to speak, she reached out and grabbed another dish from him and nodded, "This is just right." ”
………………………………………………….
The scribe couldn't help but turn around after eating, anyway, the courtyard was so big, you can't avoid it, and it's normal to take a walk after dinner, but I saw that the girls were still standing outside the door.
"Haven't finished yet?" He asked in a low voice with some surprise, "Isn't Your Highness just three dishes and one soup?" Eating for so long? ”
"When two people eat each other's food, three dishes become seven dishes, and one soup becomes two soups." Xiao Ling said with a smile.
Eat each other's food?
The scribe's eyes widened.
It's really a child's play.
Speaking of this, I could hear the sound of tables and chairs ringing inside, Xiao Ling hurriedly waved her hand at the scribe and hurried in, and after a while, she called the girls to go in and clean up.
"Your Highness, then I'll go back."
Hearing this sound in the room, the scribe hurried a few steps away, and looked at a tree, when the curtain rang and he saw the girl come out, and he turned around, as if he had only seen her.
"Ma'am." He said.
Xie Roujia smiled at him and returned the salute.
"Madame is here to accompany His Highness to dinner?" The scribe smiled and said, "It's still hot for a lot of people...."
As soon as his words fell, he saw the girl in front of him sigh and turn around.
"I forgot." She said, lifting her feet and walking back again.
At this time, the curtain of the door was also lifted, and the king of Dongping County stood over.
"What's the matter with you?"
"I have something to tell you."
Both of them spoke at the same time, and they both laughed as soon as they spoke.
That's enough......
The scribe looked up at the heavens. (To be continued......)
