Chapter 256: Do what you like
Before Cao Miao came, Lu Yi informed Sun Luban of the relevant precautions as much as possible and reminded her to pay attention.
Sun Luban didn't understand it halfway, and the more he listened, the more annoying he became. Her task was originally very simple, that is, to ask Cao Miao about the purpose of coming to Wu State, to inquire about as much useful news as possible, and then to accept Cao Miao as a guest. Now there are more factional battles out of thin air, which gives her a headache.
After a long while, Sun Luban's wine and food were cold, and Ah Hu came down to pass the word: Cao Miao finished changing clothes, please ask Sun Luban to go upstairs to talk.
Although Cao Miao didn't come to see her, but let her go to see her, Sun Luban was eager to make contributions and went upstairs.
When he came to Cao Miao's cabin, Sun Luban found that not only the cabin door was repaired, but the furnishings in the cabin were also adjusted. Cao Miao changed into loose clothes and sat in front of the big case, smiling and radiant. Picturesque sat kneeling behind him, arranging his hair, a blush on her snow-white face. Seeing Sun Luban come in, she bowed and bowed and retreated into the inner cabin.
Sun Luban was a person who came over, and at a glance, he knew that Cao Miao was not so simple as changing clothes in the past half a day, and he was suddenly a little uncomfortable.
She is in her youth, and after marrying Zhou Xun, she is in harmony, and the world of the two is like glue. Zhou Xun unfortunately died early, and she not only suffered a major blow mentally, but also lost half of her physically.
Zhou Xun has the legacy of Zhou Yu, and he is a handsome man among the younger generation, and it is difficult for Sun Luban to find someone to replace him for a while. Coupled with his self-respecting identity, he will not be hungry. Remarriage was inevitable, so Sun Quan quickly gave her to the widowed general Quan Cong, just waiting for Zhou Xun's mourning period to end.
Quan Cong is middle-aged, not only has a wife, but also has three sons. For Sun Luban, Quan Cong is obviously not a good son-in-law, and this family business has more political interests. She couldn't refuse, so she could only indulge in amusement, often coming to Xi Shifang for recreation, listening to music and watching dances, and passing the time.
For Quan Cong, it is better for Sun Luban to come to Xishifang than to go to other places, so he simply gave Xishifang as a gift to Sun Luban. There is a whole aunt arranged from it, intentionally or unintentionally blocking countless wild bees and butterflies.
But these are all soups that can only be a temporary distraction, but they cannot solve the fundamental problem. At this moment, Cao Miao sat in front of Sun Luban, with the unique vitality of a young man, Sun Luban's long-suppressed desire was like a flood that burst the embankment, swallowing her at once, making her restless, her heart was numb, and her face was inexplicably hot.
"Princess, please be seated." Cao Miao changed her previous indifference, invited her warmly, and smiled brightly. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Are you hungry?" I'm a little hungry and want to eat something, is the princess interested in coming along? ”
Sun Luban was proud, but inexplicably moved. Cao Miao, who laughed, was very sunny, although her appearance was not as handsome as Zhou Xun's, but this feeling of warmth was even better. Zhou Xun is quiet, even in the boudoir, he will not say such intimate words.
Sun Luban wanted to say that he had eaten, but when the words came to his mouth, the ghost made the gods change. "It's okay, I didn't eat either, so I'll use some with Cao Jun." As he spoke, he quietly touched his lower abdomen. I just listened to Lu Yi just now, I really didn't eat much, I should be able to eat a little, just don't eat too much.
Lu Yi chuckled in his heart and almost screamed. Sun Luban has been eating just now, how can he say that he hasn't eaten? Something is wrong with her. It's just that he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only be vigilant to prevent Cao Miao from playing tricks again.
Cao Miao first condescended and then respected, his attitude changed greatly, obviously he was afraid, and the intention of deliberately currying favor with Sun Luban was obvious.
Cao Miao then asked Sun Luban what he liked to eat. Sun Luban was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She has a very strong taste, she likes big fish and meat, but she just ate a lot, and she can't eat it anymore. She thought about it for a moment and ordered two light ones.
Cao Miao laughed. "The princess's eating habits are a bit unworthy of the name, Xinfutu?"
Sun Luban said a few vague perfunctory words, and Cao Miao was not entangled, and asked Ah Hu to order food. During this time, Cao Miao poured a cup of tea for Sun Luban, talking and laughing, and was very interested. Lu Yi wanted to ask about business several times, but he couldn't find a chance, so he had to give Sun Luban a look again and again.
Sun Luban and Cao Miao smiled when they spoke, leaving the business behind, not paying attention to Lu Yi's reminder at all.
After a while, Aunt Quan came up with people with wine and food, and was relieved to see Sun Luban and Cao Miao sitting opposite each other, and Lu Yi sitting next to her. She arranged the food and wine with her own hands, and deliberately stopped for a moment in front of Sun Luban.
Sun Luban came back to his senses a little and couldn't help but be embarrassed. If a newly widowed person gets along with a young man at night, and is a descendant of an enemy country, if this is spread, it will inevitably attract criticism. Fortunately, Lu Yi is here, otherwise it would be difficult to explain, and my father would be unhappy if he found out.
"Auntie has worked hard." Sun Luban was rarely polite. "The errand assigned by the palace cannot be delayed."
The whole lady knows it in her heart. She could only remind Sun Luban that she couldn't make a decision. Don't say it's her, Quan Cong is here, and he may not be able to do anything with Sun Luban. "The princess is hard. I'll arrange for some late-night snacks in the kitchen to be delivered later? ”
Sun Luban glanced at Cao Miao and just wanted to speak. Cao Miao said: "No need, eating too much is not good for health." Besides, the matter of a few words will soon be over, and it will not be until midnight. ”
Aunt Quan looked at Sun Luban. Although Sun Luban was a little disappointed, he could only nod. Aunt Quan retreated and closed the door.
"Princess, I'm moving." Cao Miao rubbed her hands, picked up chopsticks, and began to eat. He ate quickly, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, almost gobbling it up. Sun Luban had just taken a few sips of soup, and he had already dried up a pot of meat.
Lu Yi blinked, but Sun Luban watched it with relish, and couldn't help swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva. She eats very quickly, but she is usually restrained by others, and she must pay attention to dining etiquette, and she can't enjoy herself, only when she comes to Xi Shi Fang and eats alone, she can do whatever she wants, regardless of her image. Seeing Cao Miao eating fiercely today, I immediately felt good, but unfortunately I ate it just now, and I can't eat with Cao Miao at this moment.
From Cao Miao's amount of food, she noticed Cao Miao's body again.
Cao Miao ate happily and rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, revealing her strong forearms. Although it is only a forearm, it can see a lot of clues. Cao Miao's arms were not white, and even slightly black, like iron casting, completely different from Zhou Xun's white and weak, revealing a formidable power.
Cao Miao also showed this power. The hard husk was like tissue paper in his hand, and it shattered with a slight pinch of his two fingers, which made Sun Luban palpitate for a while. Thinking of the martial arts of Ah Hu and the others, Sun Luban suddenly had a feeling that Cao Miao's guidance of Cao Su's martial arts might not be a lie.
"Cao Jun knows martial arts?"
"I understand a little." Cao Miao swallowed the last piece of meat, poured the soup on the plate into his mouth, swallowed it, and then put down the chopsticks with satisfaction. "If the princess is interested, I can do a set of boxing, and ask the princess for advice."
Sun Luban was very surprised and agreed repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I can't ask for it."
"Just finished eating, let me eat it." Cao Miao smiled: "Let's get down to business first, what does the princess want to ask?" ”
Lu Yi let out a sigh of relief, and finally returned to the topic.
