Chapter 27: Poor appetite
After a long while, Ji Qing was able to withdraw from this sudden good mood.
She smiled at He Zhang and said, "If you like it, I'll let the cook do it next time." ”
He Zhang's fingers half-tucked in his sleeves moved slightly.
If he hadn't suppressed it in time, he would have almost reached for his stomach.
After eating a whole plate of Yulu dumplings, he only felt choked from his stomach to his throat, and when he heard Ji Qing say this, he really couldn't accept Ji Qing's kindness anymore.
Ji Qing got a satisfactory answer from He Zhang, and saw that He Zhang's fear of the Yulu Tuan, but he no longer forced him to stay, and said: "Lord He, we will have dinner in a while, and I won't keep you......"
He Zhang was speechless.
They all said that they would have dinner in a while, but they didn't see Ji Qing leaving him to use it together in the lotus garden, there was always a ......
The feeling of throwing it away after being used.
Just, it's quite frustrating.
After waiting for a while, before Ji Qing changed his words, He Zhang shook his head with a smile and stood up, "Ruyi, then I'll go back first." ”
Ji Qing sent the congratulatory medal out.
In a short time, dinner was ready in the kitchen and delivered to the house.
The dinner was very rich, and there were several dishes that He Zhang liked to eat, Ji Qing was about to move his chopsticks, and somehow remembered the whole plate of Yulu dumplings that He Zhang had eaten before.
So he asked, "Can Lord He send dinner there?" ”
Honeysuckle was serving on the side, listened to Ji Qing's words, quietly glanced at Ji Qing, and said: "Back to the master, there is a word in the master's yard, saying that the lord has a bad appetite today, and there is no need to send ...... to the lord's yard for dinner."
Ji Qing was a little weak-hearted.
Probably......
Is it because of that dish of gyokuro?
Don't look at the jade dew dough is exquisitely made, one is only the amount of two bites, but the number of a plate of jade dew dough is also a lot, there are always ten, the most important thing is that He Zhang doesn't like to eat dim sum, eating so much at once, it is strange that he will have an appetite for dinner.
Ji Qing knew that she shouldn't actually laugh, but as long as she thought of He Zhang's obvious dislike, but she forced a plate of jade dew balls down one by one, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Poof!"
Ji Qing even laughed out loud.
She waved her hand towards Honeysuckle and said, "Since Lord He has a bad appetite, that's fine, and eating less is not in the way." ”
Honeysuckle was stunned.
She also thought that Ji Qing knew that He Zhang had not eaten dinner, and would order the kitchen to send some side dishes later, but how did she know that Ji Qing actually said that it would not be in the way to eat less?
Honeysuckle felt that she couldn't understand the matter between Ji Qing and He Zhang.
Perhaps, she never saw it?
Ji Qing didn't know what Honeysuckle was thinking, because she was in a good mood, she had eaten half a bowl of rice today.
As a result, Ji Qing was overwhelmed.
According to Ji Qing's previous upbringing, he has always eaten only seven points full, and today he felt a little happy when he thought of He Zhang's appearance at that time, and he lost his temperance unconsciously.
If you have eaten this food, you will naturally have to consume your food.
Ji Qing then took Honeysuckle and Holly to the garden of Hefu.
He Mansion is a big house with five entrances and three spans, and there is a large garden behind the house, although He Zhang and Ji Qing have only been four years since they moved over, Ji Qing has also let the gardeners in the house take care of the garden carefully on weekdays, it is early summer, there are a lot of flowers in the garden, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cluster of flowers.
Although it was already evening, the summer days were long, and the garden was not dark at all, which was perfect for a meal to stop.
When Ji Qing took the two maids to the garden, there were already people in the garden.
There are only two masters in the He Mansion now, and who is in the garden, you don't have to think about it.
He Zhang stood in the octagonal pavilion with his hands in his hands, he was wearing a crescent white half-worn straight jacket, and his hair was not meticulously tied with a jade crown like in the daytime, but was fixed at random with a simple wooden hairpin, which looked a little more casual.
Hearing footsteps, He Zhang turned around.
When he saw Ji Qing, He Zhang's lips curled slightly, "Ruyi." ”
Ji Qing wanted to laugh again.
His eyes stayed on He Zhang's stomach for a moment, and Ji Qing also walked into the pavilion: "I accidentally used more for dinner, and I also came out to eliminate food." ”
He Zhang looked at Ji Qing a little helplessly.
The sky was not completely dark, but a crescent moon had already risen above the treetops, and the two stood side by side, obviously not saying much, but for some reason, in the eyes of honeysuckle and holly, there was a kind of warmth and tacit understanding between the two that people couldn't bear to break, lined with the moonlight, just like a beautiful picture.
The two maids looked at each other, then quietly retreated.
In such a quietness, after a long while, He Zhang turned his head to look at Ji Qing's side face, hesitated slightly, and then said: "Ruyi, in a few months, it will be the Empress Dowager Zhao's fifty thousand years, and then the emperor will give amnesty to the world......
Ji Qing's heart was shocked.
If you really want to give amnesty to the world, it means that the Lu family and others who were exiled to Lingnan can return to Beijing?
But......
Why did He Zhang talk to her about this?
Could it be that He Zhang knew something, or saw something?
Back then, Ji Qing was rescued by He Zhang in the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and then he was arranged by He Zhang to He Mansion, you know, at that time, He Zhang seemed to be about to step into the officialdom, just a small seven-rank official, far less powerful than now, making such a move, it is a big risk for him.
That's the case, He Zhang never asked Ji Qing about her past, let alone why she was hunted down.
Ji Qing is most grateful for this.
She had always thought that He Zhang should know nothing about her origins, but now, being watched by He Zhang with eyes that were more gentle than the moonlight tonight, Ji Qing had a feeling that she had no secrets in front of He Zhang.
"You ......"
Ji Qing opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
He Zhang looked at Ji Qing, took in Ji Qing's expression, and after a long while, he stretched out his hand and stroked Ji Qing's head gently, which was obviously an action to coax the child, but it contained an inexplicable sense of restraint.
Ji Qing's heart was slightly hot.
In this silence, time seemed to pass extremely quickly, and when Ji Qing finally came back to his senses from the many thoughts in his heart, the sky had completely darkened.
He Zhang said: "Ruyi, it's getting late, even if it's summer, it's inevitable that it will be more exposed, you don't have to think too much, everything will be fine." ”
Ji Qing was slightly stunned.
She felt that the reason why He Zhang talked to her about the new emperor's imminent amnesty was not for anything else, but to reassure her.
Was there something wrong with her feelings, or was He Zhang really there to put her at ease?
Ji Qing couldn't tell for a while.
