(28) Sweet soup
This bowl of red bean soup is sweet and glutinous, and Jiang Sydney almost swallowed his tongue when he drank it.
"Is this Jinghua's cooking?" asked Sydney.
Most of the men were out working and hunting, and when they came home, they yelled at the women. She couldn't imagine that a figure like Xuanyuan Jinghua, who was extremely feared by her father and brothers, would cook a good soup at home.
Jinghua nodded politely, "Your Highness, oh, if Sydney likes it, let Momo add another bowl for you." β
Ah Mo didn't raise his head, and replied stiffly: "It's not much, just these four bowls." β
She was setting up dishes and chopsticks for a few people at that time, and among the four people, she and Jinghua had not touched the sweet soup in front of them.
Jinghua glanced at her, and coaxed in a consultative tone: "Momo, didn't you say that you don't like to drink red beans in the morning?
Ah Mo immediately didn't raise his head, drank all his own in one go, put the empty bowl on the table, and said angrily: "I'm not a picky eater, I drink everything!"
Jinghua sighed helplessly, turned his head to meet Jiang Xueli's eager gaze again, and had no choice but to say: "Actually, Jinghua's bowl has also been moved." If Sydney doesn't dislike it......"
Jiang Xueli was busy: "Don't dislike, don't dislike." But he said in his heart, "Don't say that you have not moved, but if you have drunk, it will be better."
Before she could stretch out her hand, Ah Mo had already snatched Jinghua's bowl first, and poured it all down as soon as she raised her head, saying, "I haven't eaten enough, I've been practicing all morning, and I'm consuming...... Uh, too big......"
She ate too quickly, and was in a hurry to speak, and couldn't help but choke and cough. Jinghua was amused in her stomach, stood up and patted her on the back, but said with a reproachful tone on her face: "Momo, why are you so impatient, no politeness!"
Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Sydney couldn't help but gloat, and snorted lightly: "I heard that Xihai is rich and rivals, and I thought I was a noble person who was Zhong Ming Dingshi, but I didn't expect that I couldn't get on the stage!"
Ah Mo raised his head and glared at her fiercely, and said angrily: "What are you talking about! I am me, what are you talking about Xihai......! But choking, what's so funny, you never choke on eating!"
She usually has a hippie smile, but she is really serious, and her big eyes are still quite intimidating. At that time, in Guanchi, she had already accepted a group of classmates to be her little followers, which shows that she was born to be a big sister.
Jiang Xueli was murdered by her, and instinctively shrank back, but she didn't dare to ring.
"Don't say a word, Momo, you ......" Jinghua's face turned cold.
He seemed to be infected by Ah Mo, and before he finished a sentence, he also bent down, covered his mouth tightly with his hands, and coughed uncontrollably.
"Jinghua, ...... you" When Ah Mo saw him coughing, he didn't care about fighting with Sydney anymore, and said in a low voice: "You don't care, right?"
Jinghua took a while before he raised his body, his face turned a little paler, he gasped a few times, and said coldly: "You...... If you don't get angry with me, I'll be fine. β
"I ...... How can I be angry with you. She pouted, whispering, aggrieved.
"I said that Sydney is a distinguished guest, and you are not angry with me like this to your distinguished guest?" his voice still implied anger.
"Okay," Qinglan really couldn't stand these three people, "they are all their own people, why do they quarrel as soon as they meet! Isn't it just a bowl of sweet soup, can they all be committed?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This bowl of soup is not sweet at all.
seems to have set an unfriendly tone, and the next relationship will be even more embarrassing.
Jinghua wanted to avoid the two girls from having another quarrel, so he could only minimize the coexistence of the two. After lunch, I asked Derpy to send Ah Mo out to practice, saying that he would pick her up when the sun set.
Ah Mo saw that his face had been bad today, and he didn't dare to disobey him anymore, although the boss in his heart was reluctant to let that Sydney stick to Jinghua inseparably, but he was helpless.
Qinglan listened to her snorting angrily, and shook the long whip as she walked, and knew that she was not happy.
It has become a habit for him to hold her in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and he can't see her being wronged at all. Now she was gone, and he remained in the house restlessly, and in the time when two cups of tea were less, he had gone back and forth several times.
He finally stood up and said, "Jinghua, Ah Mo is practicing alone, and I don't know if she will encounter any difficulties, I'll go and see."
Jinghua frowned and said, "Momo is not in her way, Sydney is a guest from afar, we should entertain her." β
Sydney was begging for it, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, cousin, you should go and see Miss Amo, it's bad to practice alone, and it's bad to turn around and fall into the devil." β
Qinglan had already flown out in a puff of smoke, and Jinghua sighed secretly. Now there were only two people left in the room, him and Sydney.
For an afternoon, Jinghua sat up straight and drank tea from a distance.
Sydney asked, and he answered.
Sydney searched her intestines and scraped her belly, and after talking all afternoon, he also answered all questions, neither humble nor arrogant.
The smile is elegant, gentle and polite, and I really can't find the slightest fault.
The more she said, the more apprehensive Sydney became, the man in front of her made her completely unpredictable.
He has always been extremely polite, and even when he has a conflict with the girl from the West Sea, he is always on his side, but why does he always feel that he is like a snow-capped mountain that has not melted for thousands of years, and he can never be approached?
Since the last time she conspired in the priest's hall, she had only met him a few times in the Xuanjing tea, and each time she had only a few words, and she talked about state affairs, which not only solved her lovesickness, but also provoked her love to burn more and more.
She was originally pure in the priest's hall and did not eat the fireworks of the world, but when she saw this gentle and picturesque man, the girl Sichun sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, dry firewood and fire, and it was out of control.
It's like I'm in a demonic barrier.
Every day when I wake up, all that shakes in front of me is his peerless handsome face, and after falling asleep at night, it is his soft voice and low eyebrows and smile.
She looked at the tea in the cup, and thought that Jinghua had spoken to her with Xuanjing tea, and a figure appeared in this tea;
When looking at the snow-capped mountains and the vast glaciers, I thought that the clothes that Jinghua often wore were also pure white and plain;
Even the whole night thinking about the few words he had said to himself, reciting them over and over again, but he still tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She was sent to the priest's hall since she was a child, surrounded by unsmiling archbishops, and had very little contact with her family, unlike the eldest sister and the second sister, although they each had ghosts, but they often got together and talked about everything.
Qinglan is right, she is indeed very similar to Jiang Yi, looks alike, and has a similar temper. She is arrogant and cold, unflattering, not attached, even among her brothers and sisters, she is the one who is out of place, and she has no confidants and friends.
She fell in love with His Royal Highness of the Celestial Clan, and was full of tenderness, but no one told her.
She even secretly envied her aunt for being able to marry the Celestial Clan, but she didn't know how she could do it.
She had no way to ask for advice, and she disdained to ask for advice, her face was not shocked, but she secretly hoped for it in her stomach.
She just wanted to see him again and tell him that she liked him.
Therefore, when Qinglan, her cousin, who was also Jinghua's deputy marshal, came, she was also very excited and couldn't help but inquire about Jinghua's current situation. When I heard that he was going back, I said that I had to go with him.
She is now the queen, and no one dares to say "no" when she comes and goes. She said in a high-sounding manner that Jinghua had changed the 10,000-year-old frost in Mobei and brought a good harvest to the people, and she had to thank him in person no matter what.
She thinks that her appearance is also excellent, and she is a queen, so she is a good match for him, the prince of the Heavenly Clan.
And now, only she and Jinghua are left. This atmosphere, this timing, is like a godsend.
"Jinghua," there had been a moment of silence since the last round of small talk, and she wanted to speak earlier, lest Qinglan come back for a while and never have a chance to say again.
"Sydney, please. Jinghua has been sitting upright, although at her request she has changed her name not to call His Highness, but all these courtesies, what should be, have not been saved at all.
"Jinghua ......" After all, she is young, simple-minded, and has a direct personality, but when she encounters this kind of thing, when the words come to her mouth, she is still difficult to speak.
There was silence in the room again.
Jinghua smiled, stood up and said politely: "I'm really sorry, Jinghua is going to prepare dinner, I'm afraid I will miss him for a while." If Sydney is bored sitting here, she might as well wander around, there are no taboos here. β
After saying that, he retired.
Sydney almost blurted out, I'll go with you, but I feel like a queen, why should I get dinner for that little girl to eat ready-made, so she hesitated in her seat again.
It was she who hesitated, and Jinghua had already said goodbye and left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jinghua also almost escaped.
One moment he was still leaving someone else with a perfect back, and the next moment he closed the door, and the whole person leaned on the door and slid down.
Covering his mouth, he couldn't suppress a low cough, and his face turned pale.
Every time he soaked in the ice pool, he calculated the time, lest the time be too long, which would cause the cold to enter his body and cause coughing and wheezing.
But I don't know if it was because I lost consciousness today, which caused me to be immersed in the cold pool for too long, or because of the continuous soaking, which eventually caused the embankment to collapse the anthill and cough non-stop.
His hands and feet were cold for a long time after he came back, and when the spiritual power of Huo Xing gained the upper hand, his whole body was hot again. He sat there calmly and relaxed, talking and laughing, but in fact, it was like being in a hell of a nose, with fire and water and unspeakable suffering.
If it was usual, he would also take a nap when Ah Mo practiced in the afternoon, recuperate for a while, and have a little more strength at night, accompany her to have a meal and say a few words. But today, in order to deal with that Jiang Sydney, I have been holding on since I came back from Bingtan, and I am really exhausted.
He had to get up in a hurry to say goodbye, and in the name of preparing dinner, he escaped, he was afraid that he would appear weak in front of her, and at the same time he was even more afraidβ
I'm afraid that Jiang Xueli will say that terrible sentence.
Bao Yao's matter, like a lesson from the past, made him still have palpitations.
No matter how informal a girl is, she will be transformed into a soft and brittle girl, and no matter how gentle she is, she will immediately be covered with spikes, flammable and explosive.
As long as this girl is pregnant, she is pregnant with a spring heart.
Xuan Yao is like this, this Jiang Sydney, I'm afraid it's not much better.
And Sydney is even more troublesome than Xuan Yao-
She is also the queen of Mobei.
