Chapter 56: Forced Marriage (1)
"Ah Zhe, why are you sitting outside on such a cold day." The voice of the county lord of Yuanhua was intimate.
Xiao Zhe just raised his head and glanced at her faintly, "The county lord didn't accompany his husband, how did he find here." ”
The county lord of Yuanhua was stunned, but he didn't mind Xiao Zhe's coldness.
She sat down on the cushion beside Xiao Zhe.
Place the food box in your hand on top of the small table.
She stretched out a pair of slender hands, and there were a few patches of obvious red on her white fingers.
"Ah Zhe, I heard Uncle Chang say that the weather has been cold in the past two days, and the injury on your leg has been committed again, stinging from time to time, and this morning, I made a tonic soup with my own hands. It's a recipe in the palace, I personally asked the old grandmother around me, and it is very effective for old and stubborn diseases. ”
Xiao Zhe didn't either, just sat on the side and watched coldly as the county lord of Yuanhua opened the food box, and took out a bowl of angelica pork rib soup and a small cup of walnut and red date porridge from it and put them on the small table.
He didn't speak, and Lord Yuanhua took the delicate porcelain bowl in the food box and put a bowl of soup in front of him for him.
"Ah Zhe, this is my first time cooking, and even my mother has never tasted my craftsmanship, why do you have to give me face today."
The lord of Yuanhua lives a luxurious life, what can he do by himself? It is true that she has never been in a kitchen since she was a child. The two things in the edible box were indeed made by the county lord of Yuanhua himself, and they were not even pretended to be in the hands of others. So that he was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, and he didn't make a satisfactory meal until noon, and the injury on his hand was naturally not fake.
The county lord of Yuanhua had a strange nervousness in his earnest eyes.
Xiao Zhe looked down at the small bowl in front of him, and then looked up at the delicate face of the county lord of Yuanhua. Her eyes were like water, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, but there was a little dodge at the bottom of her eyes, they were very close, and Xiao Zhe could even smell the special fragrance on her body after bathing.
He didn't pick up the soup spoon, but thought of the food Lou Zheng made in his previous life.
She can always turn decay into magic, no matter what ingredients are in her hands, no matter how bad the environment, she can always make it delicious. And his little ideas for brewing and tea. It is also very rare for Elder Baopu, who has always been above the top.
"Ah Zhe. Ah Zhe? ”
The county lord of Yuanhua shouted twice in a little hurry, and she sensitively noticed that Xiao Zhe was absent-minded.
Xiao Zhe lowered his head and looked at the soup in front of him again, the soup was light. The smell is fresh and fragrant. The first skill of the county lord of Yuanhua seems to be good.
"Taste it. If you don't think it tastes good, I'll go back and make a few more changes. Lord Yuanhua urged.
Xiao Zhe frowned slightly, "Why is the county lord so anxious." Look at this soup is steaming, I'm not used to drinking too hot, wait for it to be cold. ”
Lord Yuanhua hurriedly picked up the soup, stirred it with a soup spoon, blew it again, and then put it in front of Xiao Zhe, "It's colder now, Ah Zhe drink it quickly." ”
Xiao Zhe picked up the porcelain bowl, bowed his head slightly, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, he picked up the soup spoon and stirred it twice, before scooping up a spoonful and slowly bringing it to his lips.
Lord Yuanhua's gaze was almost entirely fixed on the delicate porcelain spoon held by Xiao Zhe, her hands on her lap clenched the hem of her clothes, and her nervous heart almost jumped out.
She shouted expectantly in her heart: Drink, drink, drink!
But Xiao Zhe's spoon had just touched his lips, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and the next moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Tuk tuk", the sound of knocking on the door was hurried and urgent.
With the knock on the door, Peng Yue's voice sounded, "County Lord, County Lord, my father has come to Songjiang City." ”
Lord Yuanhua's face changed, and she saw that the soup spoon that Xiao Zhe was about to bring to her mouth just now fell down again and put it back in the bowl.
In his heart, he was both lost and regretful, and he hated Peng Yue who was still knocking on the door.
"What's the hurry!" Lord Yuanhua said angrily at the gate of the courtyard.
Xiao Zhe sighed, and saw that the lord of Yuanhua County did not move, so he could only get up and go to open the courtyard door in person.
Peng Yue was accompanied by a few young and strong guards, and as soon as the courtyard door opened a crack, he lifted it hard outside, and he stumbled Xiao Zhe inside the door.
Peng Yue broke in, and when he saw the situation in the courtyard, his face was obviously relaxed, he glared at Xiao Zhe, and walked to the side of the county lord of Yuanhua in two steps.
"County Lord, father is looking for you, come back with me."
The county lord of Yuanhua was still thinking about Xiao Zhe, and he was reluctant at all, but her father came in person, and she couldn't help but see him.
As soon as he stood up with Peng Yue's support, his eyes glanced at the food box on the small table, and he suddenly came back to his senses, and reached out to pack the food box and take it away, but was blocked by Xiao Zhe with one hand.
"Since it was made for Xiao by the county lord himself, how can Xiao live up to the county lord's wishes, stay, Xiao will eat it later."
The county lord of Yuanhua didn't have time to be moved by Xiao Zhe's words, she only had the weirdness of this soup in her heart at this time, "These are not good, I still ......"
"County Lord! Don't go quickly, you know your father's temper. ”
Peng Yue pulled the county lord of Yuanhua, and glared fiercely at Xiao Zhe who was standing faintly beside him, full of anger, he and Zhu Nanxian were both the husband of the county lord, Peng Yue was also the first husband of the county lord, he had never tasted the food made by the county lord himself, but now it was the turn of Xiao Zhe to settle down.
He was surrounded by Peng Yue's people, after all, the county lord of Yuanhua was a woman, and he was dragged by Peng Yue, so he could only leave Wanjing Teahouse temporarily.
Naturally, the food sent could not be brought back, so it could only be placed in this small courtyard, and the county lord of Yuanhua thought to himself, hoping that Xiao Zhe would not eat it.
Lou Zheng was here, and he heard the dispute over there clearly, Peng Yue came to ask the county lord of Yuanhua to leave, and there was no sound at all.
Lou Zheng paused for a while, and saw that there was no one outside, so he came out of the courtyard, thinking that Peng Yue had brought many strong guards just now, Lou Zheng was a little worried, now there is no movement over there, is something wrong with Xiao Zhe, isn't the old disease on his leg sick on a cold day?
Endured it, Lou Zheng didn't hold back, and walked towards the back yard, the backyard of Wanjing Tea House was small, and it was only a few dozen steps to the gate of the courtyard.
The courtyard door was wide open, and Lou Zheng wanted to just glance at it, and if she saw that Xiao Zhe was fine, she would leave immediately.
She crept to the courtyard gate and stretched out her head to take a look.
But as soon as he stretched out his head, he met the eyes of the people inside......
Lou Zheng suddenly stiffened in embarrassment.
Xiao Zhe, who was sitting under the porch inside, glanced at her, lowered his eyes, and took a sip of the teacup in his hand.
As if he didn't see her, Lou Zheng patted his chest and was about to turn to leave, but he heard a sentence from the courtyard, "Since you're here, don't you come in and sit?" ”
Lou Zheng took the step he had just taken and retracted it stiffly, so he could only turn around and enter the small courtyard.
"I've seen Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Zhe saw that she was only standing two meters away from him in a daze, and his face seemed displeased, "It's just that I haven't seen her for so many days, and Miss Lou is so alienated from me?" (To be continued......)
