Chapter 380: What Is He Trying to Do?
No matter how Yu Wenchan looked, she felt that there was something wrong with Shen Tangxi.
If this kind of calmness appears in a person who is over half a hundred years old, or who has seen through life and death, it will be forgotten.
But Shen Tangxi is only twenty when he is full, and his appearance was revealed even earlier.
When he was a teenager, he was impulsive and competitive, where did he get such a mind to accommodate God's injustice against him?
After Yu Wenchan finished speaking, she saw Su Ruan frowning slightly, and said to her:
"Anyway, I just think Shen Tangxi's smile is very fake, every time he smiles at me, I feel panicked, who knows what he looks like under the mask when he laughs with people on the surface."
"Aya'an has a simple temperament, and the queen mother manages her strictly, and she hasn't seen any dirty things, I'm really afraid that she will look at the wrong lover and pay the wrong sincerity."
Su Ruan listened to Yu Wenchan's words, and thought carefully about the number of times she and Shen Tangxi met, as if she really told Yu Wenchan.
Shen Tangxi was very repulsive to her from the first time he saw her, and even guarded against her.
He would give Xie Qingheng ideas, let Xie Huan and Xie Qingyang guard against her, and even tested her verbally, and even seemed to have no intention in Liyuan Spring, and dragged Yuwen Liangchen's matter to her.
But even if he was very bored with her in his heart, he rarely revealed it every time they met.
When he spoke to people, he always had that gentle appearance.
Even when it was against her.
If it weren't for the fact that Su Ruan had seen too many people in his previous life, I am afraid it would be difficult to tell from his friendly surface that he did not like her.
Su Ruan leaned against the trunk of the tree, listening to Yuwen Chan's babbling words, while lowering his eyes thoughtfully.
At present, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty is still there, the rules of the court have not changed, Shen Tangxi will not be able to enter the court as an official if he disfigures his appearance, and he will not be able to take the career in the future.
But with Shen Fengnian here, coupled with the emperor's apology for him, he could have lived wantonly, but why did he go to great lengths to calculate and cover up his temperament, and it was for many years.
Shen Feng was a very popular minister, and Shen Jiaxuan was prosperous.
Shen Fengnian is the only son of the Shen family, so he doesn't have to rely on fame to take over the family business, so why should he pretend?
What is he trying to do?
……
Su Ruan kept Shen Tangxi's matter in mind, and chatted with Yu Wenchan with a match.
When it was almost time, Xie Huan and Xie Jinyun also came back, and started some activities, Su Ruan was pulled over to see the excitement, and the people who were originally scattered in three or five also gathered in the peach forest.
Su Ruan Lai refused to step forward on the side, but Xie Huan and the others were in the limelight.
Xie Jiaojiao's poetry talent is excellent, Xie Huan is better at calligraphy and painting, Ji Nianhua's chess skills are killing all directions, and Xie Jinyun and Su Ruan stay on the side to cheer for the three of them.
The scene was lively for a while, and the laughter of men and women spread throughout the peach forest.
After a while, it was time for lunch.
The subordinates of each province brought meals, and young men and women gathered together in groups of three or five to eat and laugh.
Pei Geng was tired of eating cooked food in Beijing, so he had to make a fuss about a waterhole at the foot of the mountain behind the peach forest, where he could catch fish and grill it.
Xie Jinyun and the others were all moved by what he said, so they even took Su Ruan with them.
The waterhole behind the mountain is so large that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small lake, and you can faintly hear the sound of the mountain stream and waterfall running from the stones on the edge of the waterhole.
Pei Geng and Ji Zhao took a few subordinates to roll up their trouser legs for a while, and then touched several fish and came up.
Yu Wenchan and Xie Huan had never done this, and they were a little overwhelmed when they looked at the fish jumping around, but later Su Ruan took the initiative to step forward, took the dagger handed over by Pei Geng to defend himself, and directly cut the belly of the fish with the knife in his hand.
With that neat appearance, even Pei Geng and Ji Zhao were startled.
Seeing that Su Ruan quickly hollowed out the belly of the fish and scraped off the fish scales, after cleaning it, he used the slender branches he had cut to wear it, and then scratched it a few times, evenly smeared the salt he brought on it, and stuffed a ball of strange leaves and weeds into the belly of the fish.
Pei Geng couldn't help but come up and said, "Yes, Ruan Ruan, I didn't expect you to have this hand." ”
Ji Zhao was also curious: "What are you stuffing into the belly of the fish?" ”
Su Ruan replied: "This is Xihuang Grass, also known as Tuhuang Lotus, which is a flavored medicinal material. ”
"We didn't think about grilling the fish before we came, so we didn't bring too many seasonings, and this stream yellow grass stuffed into the belly of the fish can remove the fishy flavor."
Yu Wenchan also squatted aside, holding a few weeds and said, "What about this?" ”
Su Ruan glanced at it and said, "This is vanilla, the taste of grilled fish is too monotonous with only salt, and vanilla can act as a spice to enhance the fragrance." ”
Su Ruan neatly put on all the fish that had been packed up, and then put them on the shelf on the fire, and then said: "When the fish is grilled a little, you can smell the smell of vanilla, no worse than the spices used in the house." ”
Ji Zhao sniffed the inconspicuous weeds in his hand, and sure enough, he smelled a shallow fragrance, and he couldn't help but say, "Ruan Ruan, how can you do anything?" ”
Su Ruan paused, remembering when she was a maid in her previous life.
Qi Wenfu is a particularly picky person, and when she gets tired of eating food in the house, he will take her out to hunt wild food.
He taught her these things.
At that time, she was not proficient in this, and she always had to teach it several times to learn, Qi Wenfu had a poisonous mouth, and always taught her hand-in-hand while scolding her for being stupid......
Su Ruan's eyes soaked up a smile, and she was about to deduce that she had learned it when she was in Jingnan before, anyway, no one knew what she had experienced in Jingnan.
Who would have thought that there would suddenly be a loud noise in the mountain stream behind them, and before a few people came back to their senses, they heard a few "poofs" one after another, and several figures smashed directly into the waterhole in front of them, and even the splash of water rushed straight towards several people.
"Be careful!"
Ji Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, took Su Ruan into his arms, turned his back to the edge of the pool, and protected Su Ruan tightly with his cloak.
"My fish!!"
Pei Geng also reacted very quickly, and after reaching out and pushing away Yu Wenchan and Xie Jinyun, who were standing closer, he turned around and used his chubby body to block the fire behind him, as well as the grilled fish that had been roasted on it.
With a face full of water, Ji Zhao and Pei Geng, who were watered, almost became soup chickens.
Pei Geng felt a chill on the back of his head, and turned his head to look at the grilled fish that was still splashed into the fire and turned black under his protection, he ripped off his wet cloak and scolded:
"Who the fuck doesn't have long eyes, looking for death and running here to jump, do you want the master to give you a ride to the west......"
"Pei Geng."
There was a low cry from the water, and the sound was so familiar that it was difficult for Pei Geng to ignore it.
Pei Geng and Ji Zhao's faces changed, Ji Zhao hurriedly let go of Su Ruan, got up and walked to the edge of the pool, and saw the person who had just fallen in from it floating out of it.
The man was holding a man in his hand, and his chest was covered with blood, and even the once clean pool of water was stained red.
