The next morning, outside the door of Dom's house.

After hesitating outside the door for a moment, Fukang took a deep breath and knocked on his door.

"Knock knock!" A crisp and rhythmic sound sounded in the inn, and after a while, the door slowly opened.

As soon as Dom opened the door, he saw Fowl with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile, "Morning, Dom. ”

He was puzzled for a moment, but his face remained gentle and gentle: "Princess Fukang, is there something to find me?" ”

Fukang smiled and reached out from behind her back, only to see that she was holding a few red bean cakes wrapped in oiled paper, and Dom was stunned when he saw it. I saw Fukang's cunning and smart eyes flickering, "I heard that you like to eat our red bean cake from the Central Plains, so I cooked it myself and made it for you." ”

Seeing the pastry in front of him, Dom laughed happily, and then politely thanked him, "Then thank Princess Fukang for her kindness." The red bean cake was wrapped in several layers of oiled paper, and it was even hot, and while Dom was happy, he suddenly reacted, "How did Princess Fukang know that I like to eat red bean cake?" ”

Fukang didn't answer his words, but asked him playfully, "Don't you invite me in and sit?" ”

Dom was stunned, then smiled, "It's rude, Princess Fukang, please come in." With that, Dom gentlemanly leaned sideways, his right hand pointing inward.

But Fukang was immersed in his smile just now, which was like a blue coast, like a spring breeze, and even her eyes had a drunken light, which made her sink in.

"Princess Fukang?" Dom looked at her in confusion and froze in place.

Fukang came back to her senses, and she smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, you're so good-looking, so I was in a trance." ”

It was the first time Dom had seen such a straightforward woman, and for a moment he didn't know what to answer. He smiled politely and turned to usher her into the house.

Fukang walked into the house, looked around, and couldn't help but be surprised. The decoration is gorgeous and atmospheric, and the British design is simple and comfortable. She admired from the bottom of her heart: "Is this your Mu Yingying's style?" It's so pretty! In comparison, my palace is much more vulgar. ”

When Dom heard the praise, he was naturally happy in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Princess Fukang should not be arrogant. The style of each country is different, in fact, the style of the Central Plains is mainly gorgeous, and our Mu Ying is mainly simple and atmospheric, each with its own viewing advantages. ”

After inviting Fukang to sit down at the middle table, he took out the red bean cake he had just made. After the oil paper is flattened, the square pastry has a red filling sandwiched in the middle, which is white and red, and there is a fresh fragrance, which looks extremely attractive. Taking a small sip and tasting it slowly, Dom's eyes showed a smile, and Fukang couldn't help but look stunned next to him. At this time, he suddenly turned his head and asked Fukang with a smile: "Does Fukang want to eat?" ”

"Huh?" Fukang was stunned, and then quickly reacted, nodding again and again, "Oh! With that, she took a pastry and put it in her mouth.

It's so sweet. She frowned, and before she could fully swallow it, she felt an unusually sweet aroma hit her palate, as if it was about to confuse the sensation on the tip of her tongue. After Fukang reluctantly ate it, he hurriedly refilled a cup of tea and drank it, and the sweetness dissipated for a long time.

Dom, however, chewed on the red bean cake as usual, unaffected. She glanced at Dom and asked him with a smile, "Why does Dom like to eat red bean cakes?" ”

Dom smiled, and after taking a bite of the red bean cake, he squinted pleasantly, as if he was reminiscing about something, "When I was a child, I didn't really like such sweet things, and I was even tired of the afternoon refreshments that the maid came to bring every afternoon. ”

"I like red bean cake because of a poem written by you Central Plains people." His gentle smile was like spring rain moistening all things, and the poem came to mind, so he unconsciously read it, "Linglong Dice An Red Bean." ”

"I don't know if I am lovesick." Fookham blurted out.

Both turned their heads and smiled at each other.

The two chatted for a long time as if they had opened a conversation, and after knowing that their country was so free, she covered her mouth in surprise, "It's so free?" Won't even etiquette be disciplined? ”

Dom smiled slightly: "Yes, we Mu Ying advocate freedom and will not deliberately restrain and imprison people's thoughts. ”

Hearing this, Fukang was even more surprised, and asked curiously, "What about marriage?" Is it possible to make your own decisions? ”

Dom suddenly thought of what Li Qiuchi said in the restaurant, he couldn't help but sympathize with Fukang's gaze, and slowly spoke: "Our marriage is also up to us. ”

Fukang's eyes showed a light of envy: "Really? Thinking that she would have to be arranged by Chu Junlan later, her mood became even more depressed.

At the same time, the East Palace.

Li Qiuchi was playing with the rope at the table in the room, his face was full of sorrow, and he sighed from time to time. Chu Jinrong happened to help her sort out the account books of the restaurant, and when he saw her sad face, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

She held her chin and sighed melancholy: "Didn't Princess Fukang just say that she likes Dom?" I'm thinking, if she really decides, with her simple character, I'm afraid she will suffer a loss if she marries. ”

Chu Jinrong glanced at her with a smile, and half-jokingly and half-genuinely teased: "If Dom really takes a fancy to my sister Fukang, I'm afraid you will be jealous." Do you really not mind? ”

Knowing the meaning of his words, Li Qiuchi felt a little helpless in his heart, "Since I have clearly rejected him, then I must have no feelings for him, how can I be jealous?" Therefore, if he really gets along with Fukang, I will not object. ”

After Chu Jinrong heard her serious words, the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Li Qiuchi saw his repeated strange phenomena, gave him a strange look, and then poked him with his elbow, "What are you in a daze?" Help me think of a solution! ”

Chu Jinrong came back to his senses, forcibly pressed the upward arc of the corners of his mouth, and comforted her: "Don't be in a hurry." I think we should respect the idea of Fook Kang. After all, she has already performed the courtesy, and these things are still understood. ”

Li Qiuchi suddenly frowned, and groaned slightly, "You have a point. ”

"But before I can do that, I'll have to test Dom to see if he's a lifelong beholder." Chu Jinrong laughed heartily, "My sister, I don't want to be easily deceived. ”

The next day, the inn.

Dom washed up and prepared to read, and had just turned a few pages when he heard a noise outside.
