followed the shopkeeper to the kitchen, the shopkeeper explained to the cook, and the kitchen became Chen Siye's, where all the ingredients were complete, rolled up his sleeves, prepared to make a fish soup, and then fried a few dishes casually.

The chef on the side was stunned by his superb knife skills and smooth operation. It only took half an hour, three dishes and one soup were perfectly out of the pot, Qiu Ju seemed to like to eat mutton, and made her a scallion fried mutton, Xiao Tao didn't know what she liked, so she made a mushu meat, which is generally suitable for most people's tastes, and there are vegetables and eggs, vegetarian dishes are hot and sour cabbage, there are chili peppers in this world, and ancient Chinese chili peppers seem to have been introduced later.

Called Xiao Er to ask him to help bring it upstairs, Xiao Er smelled the fragrance and drooled, but he couldn't say anything like letting me taste it. Looking at Qiu Ju and Xiao Tao's glowing eyes, Chen Siye was triumphant, and he felt that he was a little master of China when he stood aside.

"Okay, let's try it, this dish of fried mutton with green onions is specially made for Sister Qiu Ju, and this dish of mushu meat is for..."

After eating, he called Xiao Er to clean up the table, and the three of them sat on the stool and burped very unimpressively. The two girls were a little blushing, not only did they not chew and swallow slowly when they ate, but they also burped until they were full, and most importantly, they were in front of a man, which was too embarrassing.

Xiao Tao found a topic and said, "Chen Siye, what will you do?" How to draw a skill, cooking is so delicious. ”

"Hiccup... I'll burp more... Actually, I'm the first talent in the big season, believe it or not. ”

Xiao Tao pouted, who believes this nonsense.

Qiu Ju attached to Xiao Tao's ear and whispered: "He writes well, and Sister Lin is also full of praise." It seems that he can also compose poetry. ”

Xiao Tao glanced at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to be quite versatile, a little flower is actually a talent.

Chen Siye didn't hear Qiu Ju praise him, otherwise he would definitely be surprised that Qiu Ju would say good things to him.

"It's better to wait until you go back, you go to the county lord's mansion to be a cook, and cook for the young lady full-time." Of course, in this way, the little peach can also be stained with some light.

Chen Siye was a little moved, going to the county lord's mansion to be closer to Le Xuan would definitely help to complete the ultimate task.

"Nope." Qiu Ju actually objected, and both of them looked at Qiu Ju with some surprise, to see if she had any reason to dare to cut off her beard from Le Xuan's hand, "This kid is unknown, and he has been in Mingyue Tower for less than half a month, I have to look at him, so as not to be bad for my sister." ”

It's righteous words, and Xiao Tao can't say anything. Chen Siye also rolled his eyes. suddenly remembered that he had promised Qiu Ju to paint her portrait before, but he never fulfilled it after Cuiyun's birthday, is it because this Qiu Ju always looks at him unpleasantly?

So he proposed: "If you have nothing to do, why don't I paint a portrait of you?" ”

When Xiao Tao heard this, she seemed to remember the events of that night, her face turned red, and she asked with shame, "Why did you suddenly remember to paint?" ”

Qiu Ju on the side looked strange, I don't know what happened to Xiao Tao, Chen Siye also smiled secretly, "I'm going to paint two portraits of the princess and princess, I haven't painted it yet, so I just want you to practice my hands." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Tao seemed to be relieved, glanced at Qiu Ju, and said, "It's okay, you can paint." ”

Chen Siye went back to his room and brought a brush and paper, and asked the two daughters to sit side by side on the bed, and he began to paint, because he had made up his mind that this painting was for Qiu Ju, so he painted Qiu Ju more delicately, and Xiao Tao was slightly rougher, and he painted a man's dress.

The two girls didn't paint makeup, and their clothes were ordinary, so it was relatively easy to paint, and it took half an hour to paint. Dropping the brush, Chen Siye looked at it and said with satisfaction: "It's done." ”

The second daughter hurriedly came over curiously, and Xiao Tao looked at it, ashamed and angry, "Chen Siye!" You've done a great job! Paint me as a man! I can't spare you! ”

As he spoke, he came up to chase him and beat him, Chen Siye hurriedly ran away with his head and begged for mercy, unable to hide the smile on his face. Xiao Tao couldn't catch up with him, and said fiercely: "Look at me tearing this painting." "Turn your head and tear the painting.

"Oh no!" Qiu Ju grabbed it first, and with a smile on her face, Xiao Tao stomped her feet and said, "Qiu Ju!" You're bullying me too! ”

"It's so good to draw, it's a pity to tear it." It seems that this painting is quite pleasing to Qiu Ju.

"That's right, Sister Peach, take a closer look, if you dress up in men's clothes, you will also be a handsome little scholar." Chen Siye also teased.

Xiao Tao was helpless, and sat on the bed, "You two gang up to bully me." ”

Chen Siye smiled, and accepted it when he saw it, "I'll go back to the house first, and you guys should rest early." ”

......

Early the next morning, we continued our march towards Nanzhou. There was nothing to say all the way, laughing with Xiao Taoqiu Ju every day, telling stories, passing through Chenzhou smoothly, crossing the water, and finally arriving at Yongning Mansion in Nanzhou on the seventeenth day of the lunar month.

Because Yongning Mansion is close to the border and is a capital city, the city wall is tall and majestic, which is a little more majestic than that of Jiangxia Mansion.

After Qiu Ju showed the token, several people entered the city smoothly, Qiu Ju said: "It's getting late today, I'll go to see the princess tomorrow, and find an inn to live in." ”

Chen Siye said curiously: "Don't you live in the palace?" ”

Qiu Ju rolled her eyes and said, "Who do you think you are, you still live in the palace, and you are so beautiful." ”

Xiao Taoliu's eyebrows were deeply locked, and she was sullen when she arrived at Yongning Mansion, perhaps worried about her father. On the way, the relationship with Xiao Tao became closer and closer, and I also heard her say some family things.

Xiao Tao was originally a person from Yongning Mansion, her mother died early, her father was originally a showman, and then for some reason she became addicted to gambling and became addicted to gambling, and sold her into the palace as a maid since she was a child. Originally, she had an older brother, but she couldn't stand the fact that her father would only ask for money and gamble all day long, and he didn't do his job, so he ran away from home and didn't know where he went.

Fortunately, Xiao Tao is filial, and he has been asking someone to bring him some money and support him on weekdays. This time, for some reason, I suddenly asked someone to bring a letter, saying that she was sick and asked her to go home, but I don't know if it's true or not.

The three of them found an inn, and after settling down, Xiao Tao said, "I'm going to go home and see what happened." ”

"I'll go with you." Let Xiao Tao be alone, he can't rest assured.

followed Xiao Tao around the city for twenty minutes, and came to the door of an exclusive courtyard, the door was open, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a voice from inside, "Qin Laosan, has your daughter come back, how long has it been, if you don't pay back the silver, you can only chop off your left hand and collect some interest first." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Tao's eyes immediately turned red, and Chen Siye hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Then he took Xiao Tao's hand and gave her a firm look, and walked inside. Xiao Tao was flustered, and she didn't break away.

When I entered the house, I saw a big man sitting on a chair, crossing Erlang's legs, and the big man standing on the side, all looked at the two people who entered the room with some doubts. On the ground, there was a middle-aged man kneeling, unkempt and disheveled, with a wooden plank in his left hand, which should have been a broken arm. You're back! Hurry, hurry, pay them back! ”

Xiao Tao was filial, and when she saw her father like this, she immediately couldn't help but shed tears, and hurriedly helped her father up, crying: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

The big man who was sitting suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Qin Laosan, this is your good daughter who is a maid in the county lord's mansion?" Sure enough, the appearance is outstanding. He looked Xiao Tao up and down with an obscene face, and said, "I have changed my mind, if you give me your daughter, it will be clear." ”

Hearing this, Chen Siye immediately became unhappy, you treat the master as air, and you should judge the face of my future woman, and see how the master teaches you to be a man. said with a cold face: "Where did the wild dogs bark here, which ruined the master's interest." ”

The big man sitting on the side smiled, narrowed his eyes, and slowly stood up, and the big man standing on the side shouted, "Are you kid impatient?" Any idea who this is? ”

Qin Laosan was frightened when he saw the two of them angry, and pulled Xiao Tao and said, "Xiao Tao, this is the husband you are looking for, stop him quickly, let him apologize to Wu Ye, don't make Wu Ye angry." He saw Chen Siye pulling Xiao Tao into the door, so he mistakenly thought that Xiao Tao had found a husband and didn't tell him.

Before Xiao Tao could speak, she heard Chen Siye say again: "It's the two of you, don't you accept it, come and beat me." "Chen Siye is rare to be tough once, mainly because of the appearance of these two people, they are ordinary thugs with simple minds and well-developed limbs, and they go to ordinary people's homes to collect debts and send a martial arts master, isn't it sick, and it is not false to have Tai Chi to master him.
