Chapter 61: I can't hide my liking and I don't like the same
Huai'an sat on the side with a smile and listened to the instructions given by the Duke of Protector, and his heart hurt even more.
She secretly glanced at Xie Zhan, extremely sad in her heart, and secretly prayed: "I hope Cousin Zhan doesn't misunderstand, I really made this porridge for Cousin Zhan, it is unique to Cousin Zhan, not everyone has it." ”
However, she could only silently transmit these words in her heart, and she didn't dare to really say them. If one day she and Cousin Zhan really become friends, the cheap uncle in front of her will be her father-in-law.
While waiting for the Duchess of the Protector to come over, Huai'an's eyes kept secretly looking at Xie Zhan. His eyes, his eyelashes, his nose......
Huai'an was reluctant to take a glance, and looked at it carefully, eager to count even a few eyelashes and a few nose hairs.
It's not that Xie Zhan didn't notice her gaze, but too obvious a movement would make Huai'an uncomfortable. He moved, and then received a knife-like gaze.
He skimmed his eyes, noticed that the Protector was staring at him with a cold face, and the buttocks that he had just lifted slowly put back again, unhurriedly brought himself a bowl of tea, and pinned his head to the side: "I'm thirsty." ”
"That's just the right time for my cousin to taste the jujube round soup I made for my cousin." Huai'an saw the stitches, and when he found an opportunity, he showed his heart to Xie Zhan.
However, it was not Huai'an that attracted Xie Zhan, but the red jujube round soup in Huai'an's mouth. As soon as these five words came out, Xie Zhan, who had never looked at Huai'an's body and the lunch box in her hand, turned his gaze and looked curiously at the red food box carved with the soaring Vermilion Bird that Huai'an was carrying.
"Lovely name." Resemble...... She's the same.
When he heard this name, Xie Zhan seemed to be enchanted, and Xin Muyuan's face appeared in his mind.
There was always a playful smile on that small and delicate face, like a cunning little fox. The crooked idea in my head is like a small green jujube in May, and the branches are shaking and falling down.
Although people are too lazy to be like a kitten, they are cute and tight, similar to the name of this porridge.
Xie Zhan thought and couldn't help laughing.
The Protector looked at his smiling appearance with his eyebrows and eyes, and looked at the corners of his mouth that were about to hook up to the sky, and his face became gloomy.
Huai'an didn't know what was going on, and asked Xie Zhan curiously with big innocent eyes, "Cousin Zhan, what are you laughing at?" I'm so happy, just say it and let me hear it. ”
Xie Zhan thought to himself, now that he is curious, you won't be happy when I say it.
As she spoke, the Duchess of the Protector came in a hurry. Her face was ruddy, her face was happy, and she seemed to be in a good mood, which was completely different from Xie Zhan.
She walked over, swept past Xie Zhan, walked straight to Huai'an, took her hand with a smile and said, "Princess Huai'an is here?" Why don't you say it in advance, my aunt is also ready to go out to greet her. ”
Huai'an had a shy smile on his face and said, "Huai'an just came to see Cousin Zhan, so he doesn't need to be greeted." What my aunt is at home on weekdays, how is it today, just treat Huai'an as a relative who comes to visit the door. ”
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for so long, Huai'an is really getting better and better. When I met when I was a child, I said that this girl will become a generation of great beauties when she grows up. ”
Huai'an had a faint smile on his face and didn't speak. If the person holding her hand and chatting with her passionately at this time was not her cousin Zhan's biological mother, she would definitely turn around and leave.
What, to compare these young ladies of the family in the capital with her dignified and orthodox princess of the Great Liang Dynasty is simply tarnishing her noble identity! It's disgusting.
The Duchess of the Protector praised a few more words, and one-fifth of them fell on the horse's legs. Fortunately, the horse didn't want to lose his temper today.
She took the lid of the coral-red food box away, showing a gold-edged white porcelain carved cup containing red date round soup, and said, "Uncle, this is the porridge made by Huai'an herself, and I invite my aunt to taste it." ”
After that, a maid stepped forward and took the bowl and spoon inside to serve soup for you.
The bowl with the red date round soup was gently placed in front of the Duchess of Huguo, and before she could taste it, praise flowed out of her mouth, and the more she looked at Huai'an, the more satisfied she felt.
This sensible and well-behaved girl in front of her is much better than the demon king Xin Muyuan, who knows what she has experienced before.
What else to say: "Although I am not born to Master Xin, I also lived a life of fine clothes and food in the Xin family, how did I become a maid doing farm work here?" ”
Look at the princess in front of you, who is still a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, won't people also make porridge? It tastes so good. Hmph, typical laziness also likes to make excuses!
Huai'an doesn't cook by himself on weekdays, unless it's a lot of fun. But she is also a person who has very high requirements for herself, even if she studies to pass the time, she will devote herself to research, and the things she makes taste very good.
The Duchess of Huguo originally planned to taste it slowly, but the taste of this red date round soup was so good, it was better than any red date porridge she had ever drunk.
Its flavor is not as strong as other porridges, and the mouth has the aroma of red dates and more than she can comment on.
When the porridge is put in the mouth, even people feel like they have entered a cave, refreshing and comfortable, and the deliciousness is swirling on the tip of the tongue.
She ate two bites, and couldn't help but eat faster. In a short time, the bowl in front of her, which was not very good, had bottomed out.
The Duchess of the Protector blushed and wiped her mouth elegantly with a handkerchief, embarrassed to ask for a second bowl.
The Lord Protector glanced at her bowl and glared at her, but didn't say much. This time, I really can't blame this girl for not paying attention to her image as if she hadn't eaten, it's really because the porridge sent by Huai'an is so delicious, even he can't help it.
Huai'an secretly observed their expressions, licked his upper lip with his little tongue, bit his lower lip with his little teeth, and hid his uncontrollable smile back, a pair of obsidian-like eyes staring directly at Xie Zhan, his eyes that were brighter than starlight were full of antiquity.
This porridge is her most satisfying work, and she is confident that even if Xin Muyuan comes to compete with her in person, it will not be possible to win against her.
However, full of confidence, she suddenly began to doubt her own craftsmanship, and she also began to feel that maybe the Duke of Huguo and his wife were just playing a show for themselves, otherwise, why would the young Xie Zhan be indifferent to his porridge?
If Xie Zhan likes it tightly in his heart, but he doesn't show it on his face, Huai'an doesn't believe it at all.
No matter how strong his self-control is, can he be stronger than the protector of the country who has fought on the battlefield and fought over the civil officials? If it was really delicious, even the Protector could hardly control his expression of surprise and liking, how could Xie Zhan be indifferent?
Could it be that it is really a problem with your own porridge?
