Chapter Twenty-Nine: Night Talk
The rain had been raining for a day and night, and finally stopped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the gloomy dark clouds receded, there was still a dark canopy, only a string of crescent moons hooking a few stars, appearing alone in the sky, echoing the lights below. It has rained for a long time, the ground is damp and muddy, people don't come out to walk around, and the whole courtyard is empty, if it is not for the display of lights, I am afraid that this place will be regarded as an abandoned house.
Obviously, this is not a new house, it is a little dilapidated, and it is obviously inconsistent with the current owner's identity.
Ruan Qin walked out of the boudoir, late at night, she had already retreated, waiting for Lang Jun to return to the room, but she didn't see anyone for a long time, so she had to put on a thin shirt, open the door, stretched out her head and looked outside, the dilapidated mansion was hollow and scary, Rao was the courage she had cultivated since she was a child, and she was a little worried in her heart...... It's okay on weekdays, at least there is someone to accompany her, but now, the little girl who embroidered the girl is estimated to have already fallen asleep, and she is not easy to disturb, so she can only go alone.
In the eyes of outsiders, as the concubine of King Langya, judging from Ruan Qin's background, she is already a model of a successful woman, and she is also deeply favored by King Langya, so it is even more enviable. Whenever she heard her familiar sister Kai joking, Ruan Qin would always smile gently, cope with the past, and not say a word about the intimacy between the two, but it was not that the relationship between the two was not as close as outsiders seemed.
Rather, it's more intimate.
The world's evaluation of Sima Yi, the king of Langya, is nothing more than "having both ability and political integrity" and "being diligent and thrifty", but I don't know that the reason why Sima Yi has cultivated this virtue is closely related to Ruan Qin. In fact, Sima Yi's situation is not very good, although his brother is the emperor, he also has the official positions of hussar general, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, but he did not set up his own shogunate and staff subordinates, but chose a lighter Zhongzheng official, the reason why this is so is all because of Ruan Qin's persuasion...... Ruan Qin was both a concubine and a staff member, and only because women were not allowed to participate in politics, they had to take them wherever they went.
Ruan Qin knocked on the door of the study, and after getting Sima Yi's answer, she walked in, and saw Sima Yi with his back to him, facing the rockery bamboo forest behind the back window, staring intently, without a little sleepiness.
She walked behind Sima Yi, stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around him, put her face behind his back, and said, "Isn't Lang Jun going to sleep?" ”
Sima Yi shook his neck and didn't turn around, but just stretched out a hand and leaned back, covering Ruan Qin's ****, and kneading it gently, making the atmosphere a little charming: "I can't sleep, there have been too many things recently." ”
"Lang Jun has given up a lot of power, hasn't he been able to get rid of the attention over there?"
"It will be some time since I left there, and I don't know about His Majesty's condition, but Your Majesty has no heirs, and although I hope that Your Majesty will recover soon, there will always be someone who will plan for the worse and do me some good...... However, I didn't mean that after all, many times I wanted to tell them positively, don't bother me again, but when the words came to my mouth, I could only hold back! Sima Yi turned around, hugged Ruan Qin and fell on the soft couch, his palm gently brushed the bumpy body of the favorite concubine, but his face was sad.
Ruan Qin blinked, grabbed his dishonest hand, and held it in his arms: "For example, Huiji County Shou Xu Jinyan?" ”
"That old thing......" can be known by the concubine, Sima Yi is gradually relieved, probably because his personality is a little lazy and likes to live an idle life, so those troubles can make him worried, and now when he hears the concubine mention Xu Shen, it makes him laugh, "Qin'er, do you know that Xu Jinyan has already done something to Wang Shuping?" ”
"Sure enough? Although it has some influence on him because of Wang Shuping, Wang Shuping is the son of Yi Shao after all, and it seems that he has a very famous demeanor recently, although he has no intention of being an official, he is also a great talent...... Could it be that ......" Ruan Qin's heart jumped, she followed Sima Yi to Huiji County for some time, and she was in constant contact with Xu Shen, she naturally knew about the characters around Xu Shen, "Someone is secretly helping him?" ”
"It's not clear, but I heard that he has been interacting with those homeless marshals more frequently recently, and a few days ago, he had a small gathering with Du Zigong's disciple Sun Jingyuan for a while." Sima Yi looked at Sun Tai's whereabouts, "But don't worry too much about these things, his means of forcing Wang Boyuan to resign are too inferior, although this move can break the face of the Wang family, but it will not cause any harm, I am afraid that he will have any means next, and he will be determined to oppose the Wang family." ”
"Yi Shao and Bo Yuan's ambitions are not in politics, after all, they are just a vein of the Wang family, besides, when I met Wang Shuping that day, although he was a humble gentleman on the surface, I always felt that he was a ruthless person." Ruan Qin said how she felt, "What does Lang Jun think?" ”
"I can't see it, but I think that Wang Shuping's moral and talented character is all of the highest quality, and his personality is somewhat similar to mine...... Haha, but I believe in Qin'er's guess, perhaps, Wang Yishao, who is used to being idle, may be able to be a ruthless person, I don't need to rush to make a move in this matter, it all depends on Wang Shuping's ability, I don't believe Xu Jinyan's eyesight, he can still be outside the matter, and cover up his skills tightly, without showing it at all......" Sima Yi said with a smile, Xu thought of a scene like Xu Shen forcing out a ruthless man, and felt that it was so wonderful that his face was a little ruddy, The hand that was held in front of the chest by the favored concubine had a feeling, and with a slight force, it swept over the tower, and skillfully undressed lightly.
"Lang Jun......" Ruan Qin half-pushed and half-pushed, and soon fell into it.
Tears and candles, a little red.
……
Wang's house, two bedrooms, back kitchen.
Unlike usual, the lights are still on here today, and there is even a trace of cooking smoke rising up, and the little chef who specializes in cooking for the second room is waiting outside in fear, but not because of the master inside, but because he has been staring at his ring.
Everyone knows that this little lady serves Erlang and Ershao as well as Qing'e, and is quite favored, and has a high prestige among slaves and maids on weekdays, but now she has a still immature face, her eyes are spitting fire, she stares at this little chef viciously, and her mouth is constantly chanting: "It's all because you are not good at cooking, and now you are forced to cook by Lang Jun himself, even if I have never been to school, but I also know that 'Gentleman is far from cooking', but you have caused Lang Jun to cook by himself, and the real sin is unforgivable......"
chattered, but the little chef was frightened, constantly wiping his sweat, but his heart was not a taste, why did the little lady say it was not the same as what Erlang said?
It was Wang Ningzhi who was busy in the kitchen.
It's no wonder that Huan'er is angry, these days Wang Ningzhi lamented that there are too few good things in this era, drinking porridge and rice all day long makes him almost forget the taste of various foods in later generations, but there is no way, there is no greenhouse now, except for seasonal dishes, other seasonal dishes are not to think about at all, besides, stir-fried dishes have just appeared, there are not many styles, and the taste is not very good, so after a few days of leisure, he drove the back kitchen out of the kitchen, cooked by himself, and specially explained not to tell others.
Now I don't know where Huan'er learned that he touched it so late, and grabbed the innocent kitchen and kept scolding him.
"Don't make any noise, come in, Huan'er." Just steamed an egg custard, now just wait for the steamer to come out, no need to be busy, Wang Ningzhi called Huan'er in, looking at the little girl's puffing appearance, it was also funny, so he knocked on her forehead, "Didn't I say to go to the West Pavilion (toilet) to go to the toilet?" Why did you still follow? ”
"Madame asked me to come along." Covering the place where Wang Ningzhi was knocked by Wang Ningzhi with a bitter face, Huan'er said pitifully, "Madame said that every time Lang Jun pushes the toilet recently, the kitchen can send some novel food soon after he comes back, so let me follow and see, now it seems that he is really lying to us." ”
Wang Ningzhi shook his head: "I know that I can't fool the lady." ”
"That's it." Huan'er immediately raised her head proudly, showing that she had a lot of respect for Xie Daoyun, "Madame said that the level of her own kitchen is not high, but the food sent now is full of color, flavor, and flavor, and these days Lang Jun will send some dishes to the big house, which are obviously carefully cooked, and you can guess that there is someone else who cooks the dishes." ”
"I did it, don't go out and make a noise, even if the big house asks, you have to say that Guo Shishi did it." Wang Ningzhi pointed to the small kitchen outside.
"But Lang Jun, the gentleman is far away from cooking......"
"Who said this sentence to you, didn't he tell you when he said this sentence to you, this sentence only expresses the mentality of the ancient gentlemen who can't bear to kill, not that the gentleman can't go to the kitchen...... Besides, I'm not a gentleman. ”
"Lang Jun is a gentleman, the best gentleman." Huan'er said stubbornly.
"Okay, well, just according to what Huan'er said, I am the best gentleman." Feeling that the time was almost up, Wang Ningzhi opened the lid of the pot first, and a trace of fragrance greeted him, he immediately took out the steamer with a thick cloth, and there were exactly four small bowls in it, he looked at the little girl's eyes, and said with a smile, "If you insist on 'gentleman cooking' again, then you won't be able to eat such delicious food in the future." ”
"Lang Jun can teach Guo Shishi, although he is stupid, but if he does more, he will have a good appearance."
"That's a good idea." Wang Ningzhi nodded in agreement, thinking that he really couldn't cook often, "Go back, Guo Shishi will send it over later." ”
Huan'er hurriedly answered and went out after him.
After walking for a distance, he suddenly stopped, turned around and explained to Huan'er: "When Guo Shishi learns, our three meals a day will change in the future, and you and your wife will eat more." ”
"Why eat more?" Huan'er is very strange, although she also wants to eat more, but girls always have to be reserved, and they can't take the initiative to open their mouths if they want to eat more.
"Because, ah......" Wang Ningzhi's thoughts drifted a little far, "Eating these can make your body grow up quickly, and it is still very healthy......"
"Growing up?"
"Yes, grow up......"
