Chapter 338: Heaven is at odds
The original family paid attention to not eating at noon, and the big kitchen was not open after noon. Although the deliberations have been dispersed, there is never a shortage of people around the ancestors, even sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard and drinking tea and chatting is a way to get close to the ancestors.
The smell of food suddenly wafted into the courtyard, and a few old men who were holding teacups and watching their ancestors play chess with others smelled the smell and couldn't help frowning: "Who let the big kitchen turn on the fire?" β
It's not that it's a big deal, after all, the original family is not so harsh as to fight for one meal or two. This frown is just not used to it.
Everyone in the original family, including the maids and slaves below, had the habit of not eating for lunch, so smelling the fragrance of food at this time really surprised everyone.
The master said casually, and the servant left, and came back after a short time to report: "Shui Xing said that the chef next door has changed in the past few days, and the chef's skills are good, and Miss Jiaojiao also felt hungry, so she asked the kitchen to cook two dishes." β
The children in the family were hungry, and cooking two dishes was just a trivial matter, and the old man who asked the question raised his hand and waved away the servant when he heard the words, and then looked at everyone with a smile: "It's just greedy." β
The hand of the ancestor of the original family who was playing chess paused slightly: this is not a gluttonous thing, nor is it a matter of two dishes for one dish.
There are seven emotions and six desires in life, and it is natural to avoid the emotion of "jealousy", which is not jealous because of standing in a high place, of course, this high place is also a high place that you think you are, and you may not feel that you are standing in a low place.
Because he is superior everywhere, he can be compassionate to others.
What happens when you find out that you're not standing that high?
The old man snorted lightly and landed on the chessboard.
Sure enough, only children are still interested in fighting for this kind of thing.
However, it is definitely a good thing for them to have such an argument among children.

β¦β¦
Today was her birthday, and she didn't expect him to invite her over, because the recipe research had been good recently, and she was invited to try her hand.
This skill is much better than she imagined, and even the red beans who are proud of their good cooking skills are amazed again and again, and after a few glasses of rice wine, they shouted a few times before pouring down their uncle.
Drinking in the daytime seems to be a little more sober than at night, not to mention that her physique is not easy to get drunk.
There are those who drank a few cups of red beans on the table and fell asleep, and there were also those who ran to the kitchen to see if there was anything delicious such as Pei Qingqing, and Tang Zhongyuan took Qiao Shu to walk around in Zhang's mansion curiously.
For a while, they walked and scattered, except for the red beans that had fallen asleep, there were only two people at the table, she and Zhang Jie.
"How did you come up with the idea of inviting me?" Qiao Ran opened her mouth to ask directly, and she said, "It's still so grandiose." β
Didn't she remember that he had said to avoid it?
Zhang Xie smiled and explained: "Because you are good, Your Majesty also thinks you are good, so I can see you." β
Because she's good? Qiao Ran was a little surprised, and after a while, she also smiled: "In that case, I'm quite powerful." β
It was so powerful that Zhang Xie didn't have to avoid it anymore when he saw her. Therefore, the more powerful she is, the more she doesn't have to avoid ...... Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment, a thought came to mind, and he didn't stop it for a moment, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty...... I don't want to meddle in your marriage! β
Zhang Jie: "......"
Such an unspeakable expression is equivalent to a tacit acquiescence.
Qiao Ran spread his hands: I really stayed in Dali Temple for a long time, and I just got used to it. What's more, he didn't deliberately hide anything.
"Actually, it's quite easy to speculate," Qiao Ran silently took a sip of rice wine, shook her somewhat swollen head, and said, "The chef next door is suddenly learning cooking skills with you, and ...... I just saw Miss Yuan, who rarely returns home. β
"Miss Yuan wants too much, her surname represents that she can't exist without her original family, but she has this surname and wants to break away from her original family, such a naΓ―ve idea, only His Majesty can take over in this world." Qiao Ran held the wine cup, and the wine went down one by one, "You are so old......"
So old? Zhang Xie glanced at her suddenly, and then listened to the girl continue.
"You are from such a background, such a family, and you own the entire Zhang family's family property, and there are no concubines, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to consider, you are like this, it stands to reason that as long as you want to marry a wife, there are more women who want to enter the door, but you have not married a wife yet, and you don't see any people from high-ranking families come to match or anything, so it should be that Your Majesty wants to take over your marriage."
Speaking of this, the girl's eyes suddenly showed a little sympathy, I don't know if the strength of the wine came up, and the bottom of her eyes was a little more cloudy, she burped lightly, and laughed to herself: "In Your Majesty's opinion, if you and Miss Yuan come together, it will also increase the chance of winning in the future to control the Yin and Yang Division." So, you two should be a match made in heaven......"
The autumn wind swept by, the chill gradually appeared, and the girl shivered.
"I don't like a match made in heaven," Zhang Xie stretched out his hand to pull the slippery cloak for her, and said, "I just like a match made in heaven." β
The girl didn't know if she heard this, and after yawning, she slowly closed her eyes on the table.
Instead of waiting for a response, he stood up and looked in the direction next door.
"Cooking?" He muttered, snorted, sat down and drank to himself.
β¦β¦
That bit of rice wine was so strong that Qiao Ran yawned and got up from the bed and walked out of the door.
The sun is rising, and it's already morning!
She forgot how she got back yesterday.
Qiao Ran rubbed her forehead with a faint pain and looked at the courtyard, and someone happened to walk in from outside the door at this time.
When he saw her, he exclaimed, "You're awake!" β
Pei Qingqing glanced at her strangely as she spoke, and said, "Do you remember what you did yesterday?" β
Yesterday? Qiao Ran was stunned: "Aren't you drinking?" "Then I don't remember clearly, probably drunk or something.
Pei Qingqing's little face showed a rare hint of complexity, and then said solemnly: "Miss Qiao, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. β
She...... What's wrong? Qiao Ran looked at Pei Qingqing in surprise and asked, "Did something happen?" β
Pei Qingqing covered her eyes, looking like she couldn't bear to look at it directly, "You were drunk yesterday and hugged Zhang ...... Zhang Tianshi, shouting for him to marry you, saying that you are a match made in heaven, and no one can break you up......"
Qiao Ran's face turned white when she heard this, and she was about to say something, when she heard Hongdou walk in from outside the courtyard with an exclamation.
"Pei Qingqing! It's a pity that you dead girl doesn't sing," Hongdou said angrily as he drove away Pei Qingqing, who was laughing and running away, "No." Miss fell asleep yesterday, it was Zhang Tianshi who sent Miss back, Miss slept well, and she didn't say anything in her dreams. β
Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, knowing how she could have done such a thing.
After the red bean over there finished speaking, he said "oops", slapped his head suddenly, and then took out a purse from his arms and handed it over, she said: "Miss, this purse fell on Zhang's house yesterday, and Zhang Tianshi sent it back overnight." The slave was afraid that something important, so she deliberately opened it and looked at it, which were the two fake copper plates that the young lady had brought back. Zhang Tianshi said that this thing is rare, and Miss must not lose it. β
