Chapter 053: Reluctant
It was quiet for a few days, and there was not the slightest movement on Qin Yi's side.
Lu Jinhua couldn't sit still, so he sent An Wen to ask Zhu Fengchun about one or two, but Zhu Fengchun was also secretive.
However, after inquiring a lot, it was not for nothing, An Wen heard that Qin Yi was going to welcome a new woman home in a few days, and that woman was from Soft Xianglou, in addition to her beauty, she also made a good dish, which could capture the hearts of all men who had tasted her food.
Coincidentally, cooking is what Lu Jinhua is not good at.
Once saw the royal chef make very delicate pastries, she was full of confidence to learn, but she did it three or five times in a row, either the filling tasted wrong, or the shape was ugly, and when the fire was lit, she almost lit the whole kitchen. In the end, she cried, but Qin Yi comforted her and said that he didn't like to eat these, so he gave up. It's just that Qin Yi is going to marry a woman who is good at cooking, how can she sit still?
"Anwen."
"The slave is here!"
Lu Jinhua staggered his hands together and pressed forward: "Prepare glutinous rice flour, red beans, black sesame seeds, sugar ......"
The corners of An Wen's eyes twitched, feeling bad.
"I also need a suitable kitchen robe," Lu Jinhua snorted coldly, "I want to cook!" β
Half a cup of tea passed, and Lu Jinhua was busy in the kitchen.
An Wen stood aside with a nervous face, Red Hearts and Xiangxing were very puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with our master suddenly?" β
An Wen frowned and said, "It's not the prince yet." β
"Lord Wang?" Red Hearts and Xiangxing were even more confused, "What's wrong with the prince?" β
An Wen couldn't help but pursed the corners of her mouth: "Seeing that I am different, this time I want to ask for an aunt who is good at cooking." β
Hearts gasped: "Won't it?" Cooking this kind of thing, we can do it, instead of marrying such an aunt, it is better to really hire a cook! β
"That's right, where is a woman full of firewood worthy of the prince?" Apricot gang.
An Wen rolled her eyes: "If it is really a chef, the master will not be so stunned." I heard that the woman was from the Soft Fragrance Buildingβ"
Before the words fell, the dough that Lu Jinhua had just kneaded was thrown to the ground by her. She sniffed, her eyes were slightly red, and she comforted herself in a loud voice: "It's okay, it's okay, do it again." "Re-reconcile.
Red Hearts and Xiangxing didn't dare to say more, and bowed their heads silently, with a heavy heart.
After an afternoon, Lu Jinhua finally made a plate of pastries. Just as she was about to reach out to serve it, An Wen hurriedly pulled a handkerchief from the side and handed it over: "Master, it's hot!" β
Lu Jinhua was stunned, took the handkerchief without saying a word, took out the pastry, and put it on the desk.
Seeing Lu Jin's reckless appearance, An Wen's heart squeezed fiercely, she really didn't understand what was good about Qin Yi's man? Capricious, playing with feelings, and simply a despicable villain. Lu Jinhua didn't just seek a way out for himself, and he still put down his body to cater to him, which is simply sad.
Lu Jinhua didn't notice the complicated looks in the eyes of the people around him, picked up a round ball with chopsticks, blew it carefully, and put it to his mouth to bite lightly. The filling of quicksand flowed outward, so hot that she instantly withdrew her hand and sighed again and again.
An Wen's brows furrowed fiercely, anxious and angry: "Master, why are you in a hurry!" "Fan her.
Lu Jinhua exhaled and slurred his words: "Why aren't you in a hurry?" That woman is going to enter the door, I have to let my brother know that she will do it, and I can too! β
Red Peach sighed and put her arm on Xiangxing: "Our master is different from other aunts. β
Xiangxing nodded, they didn't hear much about how complicated this woman was before Lu Jinhua entered the mansion, but now that they are really working beside her, they found that Lu Jinhua is just a little woman who really likes the prince.
Such a pure purpose, seeing her chaotic appearance now, made them feel empathetic and sad.
"Master, why don't you taste it for you?" Hearts took the initiative to speak.
Xiangxing curled her lips: "The slave's mother is very good at making pastries, if the master allows it, the slave will call the mother over." β
Lu Jinhua shook his head: "I learned this pastry in the palace in my early years, and its meaning is different. Reaching out for his sleeves, he picked up one of them and handed it to the hearts, and then to the apricot: "But I really need you to taste it for me, my tongue...... I can't feel the taste for a while. β
Red hearts and apricots answered and took the pastry.
"How?" Lu Jinhua was nervous.
Xiangxing licked her lips with the tip of her tongue: "Does the master want to listen to the truth?" β
Lu Jinhua knew that he was not good at cooking, so he bit his lip and nodded, and said, "You say it directly, I don't blame you." β
Xiangxing said cautiously: "The taste of this pastry is very ordinary. It is naturally okay to give it to the slaves and maids, but if it is given to the prince, I am afraid that it will ...... It needs to be improved. β
Lu Jin's phoenix eyes were distracted: "It's a pity that I don't know how to improve." β
"The filling is too sweet," Xiangxing walked to the desk and brought another bowl of unsweetened red bean paste to Lu Jinhua's eyes, "Master make another one?" This pastry, please allow the slave to help you. β
With the help of Xiang Xing, Red Hearts and An Wen ate three servings in a row, and finally at the moment before eating, they ate Ruyi Dough with just the right sweetness and texture.
"Is it really possible?" Lu Jinhua was overjoyed.
The three of them nodded one after another.
Lu Jinhua breathed a long sigh of relief, and happily put the eight wishful dough on the plate while it was hot. Xiangxing winked at An Wen, An Wen understood, and stepped forward to say that she would send it to the prince on her behalf, but before she could say anything, Lu Jinhua had already ordered: "The three of you stay and clean up the kitchen, and I will send it over personally." β
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
Walking in the direction of Zhilanzhai with the food box on his shoulder, Lu Jinhua felt happy in his heart, and kept imagining how Qin Yi would be surprised and how he would praise her later. Thinking about it, the joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to overflow, and he completely left behind Qin Yi's matter of taking a concubine.
Feng Qing was guarding the door, and Qin Yi clearly instructed Dan that whenever he saw Lu Jinhua, he must stop her and not allow her to enter. At the moment before she was about to step into the courtyard, Feng Qing had already rushed towards her in a hurry, and saluted with her armrest: "I've seen the princess." β
Lu Jinhua was stunned for a moment, visually measuring the distance from the threshold to her, and was confused: "What's wrong with you?" Staggered him forward.
Feng Qing hurriedly walked around to her and stopped her again: "The princess forgives her sins, the prince has orders, and you are not allowed to enter." β
Not allowed to let her in?
Lu Jinhua froze in place.
"What do you mean I'm not allowed in?" Lu Jinhua smiled dumbly, "Fengqing, did you hear it wrong, why didn't my brother let me in last month?" β
"Xiao is indeed acting on orders," Feng Qing made a big salute, "and ask the princess to understand, don't embarrass the little one." β
Lu Jinhua's phoenix eyes shimmered slightly, and he was sullen: "Lord Wang, he's busy?" β
"Well, the prince has been busy."
"That's okay," she handed over the food box as she stretched out her hand, "this is the pastry I just made, transfer it to the prince for me, and let him eat it while it's hot." β
Feng Qing took the food box with both hands: "Okay, the small one will be handed over for you." He turned and walked up the steps.
Seeing this, Lu Jinhua also walked out.
Just walked a few steps, and Liu Fucui, who was dressed in a robe embroidered with willow leaves, suddenly appeared not far away. Lu Jinhua was startled, and turned sideways to hide in the shadows. Liu Fucui was alone, didn't notice her, and walked straight towards the room where Qin Yi was.
This time, no one stood in the way.
Lu Jinhua suddenly understood the meaning of Feng Qing's words.
"You are not allowed to go in", it is not that he is busy and no one is allowed to go in and disturb, but it is only aimed at her.
Lu Jinhua curled up his fingers.
Why is that? Last month, her brother targeted her like this...... Or is it because of the moon holding incident?
Joy to anxiety only happened in the blink of an eye, Lu Jin was angry, originally planned to return to Pingyuan, took two steps and changed his mind, went around to the back of Zhilanzhai, picked up Qin Yi under the window, and secretly looked inside.
There was no one in the room.
Walking around to the study opposite, she carefully lifted the window a little. This time, I happened to see Liu Fucui sitting in Qin Yi's arms with a shy face, stuffing the pastries she had worked so hard to make into her mouth.
"Well, it's not delicious," Liu Fucui was a little disgusted, "How could the prince choose such a greasy pastry?" β
Qin Yi smiled faintly: "It wasn't chosen by this king, it was just the people in the house who happened to do it, so they took it to deal with it first." Your favorite food Fengqing has been ordered to go down, and it will be delivered soon, rest assured. β
Liu Fucui smiled softly: "I know that the prince is the best." His hand was on Qin Yi's shoulder, clinging to his chest.
The corners of Qin Yi's lips were raised, and he scraped the tip of her nose with his fingers: "Little fool, this king treats you best." You have suffered so much for the sake of this king, and everyone before and after you has swallowed your anger, and this king has remembered it in his heart. β
"Lord Wang......" Liu Fucui's eyes flashed with a sparkling expression, and he touched Qin Yi's fingers and clenched them hard.
Lu Jinhua watched silently.
From great anticipation to endless loss, it only takes such a short time.
He called her a little fool, and it turned out that he could also call someone else a little fool.
For the suffering he suffered, people swallowed their anger before and after, it turned out that he would remember it in his heart, but not for her.
It's changed, everything has changed.
Slightly lowered his eyes, and a faint moistness suddenly spread on his face. She suddenly felt a little cold, this kind of cold was different from what she had suffered before, starting from the heart, little by little, eroding her whole body.
The inside of the house is full of spring, and the outside of the house is cold to the bone.
Feng Qing brought the newly made pastries into the house, and as soon as they were put away, Qin Yi ordered him to throw the disgusting thing and feed it to the dog.
Liu Fucui laughed again and again, and said on the side that he was afraid that dogs would not eat it.
Lu Jinhua couldn't stand it anymore, put down the window, and walked outside.
Feng Qing took out the food box and pastries, and threw them into the corner in disgust. Lu Jinhua paced Mu Ran, ignoring Feng Qing's embarrassed face, bent down and picked up the food box, together with the ruyi dough that had been knocked over, carefully picked up one by one, patted the dust on it, and finally brought it to his lips.
"Princess!" The wind is clear and urgent. Yunnan
Lu Jinhua squatted on the ground, his thin body trembling, like the last lingering leaves on a dead tree in autumn, crumbling.
After eating all the Ruyi dumplings, she wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and without looking back, she strode away.
Sick once.
After lying in bed for three days, Gu Li also drank the medicine prescribed by Gu Li for three days, but it did not get better.
Gu Li said that she had a heart disease, so it would be good to go out and walk around. Of course, Lu Jinhua also knows that eating unclean things will hurt his stomach at most, and he will not be as weak as if he has lost all his blood. Hearing Gu Li repeatedly suggest that she go out for a walk, after a moment of silence, she decided to go to the vicinity of the soft incense building to have a look.
Let's see what the newcomer really looks like.
It's ridiculous to say that the women around Qin Yi are endless, and Qin Yi's heart is also floating.
She had already persuaded herself to be generous and not to care, but when she backed down, the man had to move in. It's not that she's spineless, she's just sharpened off a thorn for him.
Now she is unrecognizable, bloody, embarrassed, and she doesn't even know who she is.
"Master, otherwise, let's take a walk in the yard." An Wen whispered tentatively.
Lu Jinhua refused: "Just go to the soft incense building." He sighed, "In a few days, when the bride enters the house, I am not feeling well, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to come forward." While you're still active, let's go meet her first. β
"Master......"
Lu Jinhua laughed at himself: "It's okay, you don't have to persuade me." So far, I don't have anything I don't understand, I've worked hard, I've fought hard, and I'm worthy of my heart. I can't see through him, he doesn't belong to me, that's a fact. For the rest of my life, I will just stay in this Linping Courtyard. So this is my last 'eventful', so you tell me to go down and prepare the carriage." β
At this point, An Wen could only respond: "The slave maid will go and prepare." β
Before going out, Gu Li hurriedly entered the house.
After looking at each other, Lu Jinhua was puzzled for a moment, and there didn't seem to be a second person in the house who was sick except for her recently. After thinking about it, how many things in the house are related to her? Laughing and shaking his head, he pulled his skirt and got into the carriage.
Outside the soft fragrance building, there was a coquettish voice.
In the three years when the market was mixed, Lu Jinhua had also seen two parts of the world, and he was not surprised by such a scene, so he walked to the front of the soft incense building, took out a piece of gold from his sleeve, and put it in the hands of the guide.
"Yo, girl, is this?"
The girls in the soft incense building can sing, play music, and write poetry...... It is a well-known elegant place in the capital of the Western Liang Kingdom, although the world knows that no matter how elegant the place is, there are pickles in secret, but the personal preferences are different, and no one meddles in things. A wealthy lady like Lu Jinhua came either to pass the idle time or to catch people.
Lu Jinhua pursed his lips and said, "I want to meet Miss Xi Li'er." β
The guide's face changed slightly: "It's not a coincidence, just an adult picked up Miss Xi to go to Lotus Lake to enjoy it!" "Give the gold back respectfully.
Lu Jinhua didn't answer, and asked softly: "How to go to Zhulian Lake?" β
The guide hesitated: "This ......"
Lu Jinhua took out another piece of gold and added it to his palm: "Don't worry, I just want to meet Miss Xi." Besides, she is not alone with her, so what can I do with my handmaid and two weak women? He covered his lips and coughed softly.
The guide smiled and put the gold into his palm: "Go east along this street to the lotus lake, and at most you will arrive at the time of a cup of tea!" β
"Thank you."
The weather was terrible, An Wen was worried about the sudden rain, and accompanied Lu Jin to Zhulian Lake and turned back to the market, planning to buy two umbrellas and come back to prepare. Lu Jinhua's body was still a little weak, and after walking these few steps, he felt that his body was tired, so he found a clean chair and sat down to wait for her.
"Smack", a drop of rain fell on the back of her hand.
Her white skin gradually turned red, and she brushed away the water stains with her other hand, but a few drops of rain fell at the same time. Then a torrential downpour came, and crackling sound was everywhere.
Startled, she quickly got up and looked for the nearest place to shelter from the rain. Just after taking two steps, a familiar silhouette suddenly broke into sight.
It's just that he's not alone.
Zhu Fengchun followed closely, and beside him, there was a woman who was close to him. The two hugged each other, very intimate.
The edge of the umbrella hung low, and Lu Jinhua couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but a few faint laughter floated from the rain curtain, like needles, piercing.
At that moment, she was like a stone statue, standing, unable to move.
Soon they came towards her.
The rain ran down her hair, twisting her waterfall into strands, mixing with tears, and wetting her face. Her vision blurred, and with a pain that pierced her heart, she reached out to remove the hair in front of her eyes and took a step forward.
"Lord Wang." The voice was low to hoarse.
The edge of the umbrella was raised, and the smiles of Qin Yi and Xi Li'er came into view.
Touching her eyes, Qin Yi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he withdrew his gaze, his hand tightly stopped Xi Li'er's waist, and his eyes passed past her without squinting.
The world is quiet.
Lu Jinhua didn't seem to hear anything, his surroundings were blank, and his thoughts were gone.
The next moment, it suddenly converged, quite unreasonable, and rampaged.
"Qin Yi!" She shouted his name.
Qin Yi stopped.
Xi Lian'er raised her head slightly, and her red lips came to his ear one by one: "Lord Wang, is this reluctant?" β
The ambiguous aura revealed full danger, Qin Yi's eyes were gloomy, the corners of his lips pulled up a touch of contempt, his tone was sneering, and he replied to her: "How come?" This king is just thinking of her identity as a princess, and she is so embarrassed that she doesn't know how to be polite. The hand roamed around Xi Li'er's waist: "Why don't you give this princess position to you when you go back?" β
"Lord Wang!" Xi Li'er's face was full of shyness, but her small hands covered his cold fingers, making him lean on his body.
Lu Jin's ten fingers were curled tightly, but the nails that were not too long were embedded in the palms and cut through the skin. She didn't seem to feel the pain, she just felt unwilling. For a long time, what did she get for and what did she get? After all, it was just a void.
Thinking of the laughter and laughter of her childhood, and remembering the oath she made not long ago, she suddenly felt nauseous, and her stomach was overturned, and before she bent over, the Chinese medicine she had taken before going out had all poured into her throat, vomited out, and stained her lips and tongue.
The medicinal juice on the ground sparked with the rain, and the rich flavor made people more and more uncomfortable. Xi Li'er twisted her eyebrows, suppressed her voice and said to Zhu Fengchun: "This girl is difficult, you better give her a shade of rain." β
Zhu Fengchun had already planned this, but Xi Lian'er's eyes were there, and he didn't dare to act if she didn't speak. Hearing Xi Li'er's relief, he decisively raised his umbrella and walked quickly towards Lu Jinhua.
Lu Jinhua wiped off the medicinal juice with the back of his hand, turned around, and looked at Qin Yi and Xi Li'er fixedly.
It wasn't until this moment that she was finally sure that the man's heart wasn't in her.
Xi Li'er is looking at her, Zhu Fengchun is looking at her, and people who have nothing to do with her are nervous about her. And the man who has a skin-to-skin relationship with him and is close to him is still facing away at this time, and he doesn't even bother to give a look.
She's like a tired plaything.
"Princess, shall we go back?" Zhu Fengchun said in a low voice, "I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently, this rainy day, let's not get along with ourselves, okay?" Go back to the house and take a hot bath......"
Lu Jinhua suddenly made a move and brushed Zhu Fengchun away.
The rain was cold and poured like a pillar, and she sneered at him, staring at him as if she was going to cut him with a thousand knives with her eyes.
With her ankles turning, she took off her brocade shoes, and under the shocked eyes of Xi Li'er and Zhu Fengchun, she stepped barefoot in the rain, step by step, and walked towards him.
She was still three paces away from him when she stopped.
"What am I?" Lu Jinhua's voice trembled, and his pink lips faded in color, as light as white paper.
Qin Yi did not answer.
After a while, Lu Jinhua's voice raised slightly: "Qin Yi, I'll ask you one last time, I, Lu Jinhua, in your eyes...... What is it? β
Knowing that she couldn't wait for an answer, she still asked.
Tears began to run rampantly on her face, and her head ached heavily, but she still didn't want to stop, and kept pushing herself, forcing herself to get his answer.
"You tell me...... You tell me! He asked hoarsely.
Qin Yi closed his eyes, his hand passed through Xi Li'er's slender waist, and his thin lips spit out a word without warmth:
"Let's go."
Walk.
That's the answer he gave.
So in his eyes, she wasn't even a plaything......
Seeing the pair of intersecting figures fade away, she suddenly lost her strength and sat down in the rain.
"Princess!" Zhu Fengchun leaned down to help her, "Oh, princess, hurry up and stabilize your mind!" Lord Wangβ" A few black shadows wandered in the trees, Zhu Fengchun hurriedly silenced him, and went to help Lu Jinhua again.
She shook off his hand and smiled wryly and murmured, "You know what? One time my shoes got wet, and when I was barefoot, he walked in, saw that I was not wearing shoes, laughed at me for being a little fool, and brought me new shoes for me to put on, very gently. From that time on, I thought that as long as I didn't wear shoes, he would care about me and come and put them on for me. After a pause: "Last time I accidentally fell into the water, he also put on my shoes, I thought he was the same as before." He muttered in a low voice: "Like me the same, love me the same, ...... Be sincere to me. β
But now, love is fake, love is fake, and sincerity is fake.
All the truth is just her dedication.
She married him with the hypocrisy of deceiving Qin Xie, but she never did anything to be sorry for him. On the contrary, it was him, who hurt her again and again.
Hot and cold, near and far, his heart is wavering, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, which is more straightforward and hurtful than how many concubines he takes.
She was really tired.
I'm finally tired.
Zhu Fengchun still wanted to hug her, but was rejected by Lu Jinhua again and again. In the end, he let out a "sigh", stuffed the umbrella into her hand, stepped into the rain curtain himself, and chased after Qin Yi.
