Chapter 517: Sweet and Glutinous
The wind outside blew a little tighter, but fortunately, there were only two of them in the room, except for the dozing phoenix.
The big kitchen will have to wait a while for the meal to be ready, and they can still talk slowly.
Xu Qinghuan took the chestnuts and stretched out her hand to peel them, the chestnut skin was still a little hot, her fingertips were burned to a little red, and she couldn't help but move slower.
Before the chubby and round chestnuts showed their heads, Xu Qinghuan smelled the aroma of the chestnuts, not because her nose was too sensitive, but because there was really a peeled chestnut handed to her mouth.
Xu Qinghuan raised his head and looked at Song Chengxuan opposite.
He pinched the chestnut with a calm and natural expression, as if he was doing something very normal.
Even if she peeled the chestnuts, she would put them on a porcelain plate next to her, instead of feeding them directly like he did.
If she doesn't eat it, he will keep holding it like this, thinking about it for a while, Xu Qinghuan opened his mouth and bit down the chestnut, which was sweet and glutinous, for fear that he would accidentally touch his fingers.
Thanks to the fact that there was no mistake, her cheeks were faintly red when she thought about it.
Lord Song always had these strange tricks, which caught her off guard.
The most important thing is that you come and go, she eats his, so what to do with this one in her hand.
She finally peeled the chestnuts in her hand slowly, but she was not embarrassed to put them in the porcelain plate, but handed them to Song Chengxuan's mouth, a little nervous in her heart, for fear that he would come up with other tricks.
Fortunately, Song Chengxuan just opened his mouth and ate it.
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because she was thinking too much, but it was also because he would always take various opportunities to get close to her, and she would subconsciously take precautions.
"Is it sweet?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
Song Chengxuan said indifferently: "It's not very sweet." ”
Hey, Xu Qinghuan felt a little strange in her heart, she had just eaten very sweet, and the hazelnuts, chestnuts, and melon seeds selected by Feng Xiao had always been the best and fullest.
"Then I'll peel another one for you."
As soon as Xu Qinghuan's words fell, there was a noise outside, and Xu Qinghuan was about to raise his head to look.
"Miss, don't be afraid," Feng Xiao opened half of her eyes, "the wind is too strong, and it blows off the branches." ”
Xu Qing'an, who was outside the window, took a dead branch, touched the head that was hit, and tiptoed out of the yard, he also wanted to eat roasted chestnuts, but he didn't know where to find a warm charcoal fire.
Xu Qingan looked at the dead branch in his hand, he seemed to be the prince of the Xungui family, it was not difficult to do such a thing, but it was best for someone to peel chestnuts for him to eat.
Xu Qing'an thought about it, and he didn't know if Zhang Zhenren had come back, otherwise he would go to Qingling Daoist to make do?
……
Xu Qinghuan was fed three chestnuts by Song Chengxuan, as if he had a big appetite and wanted to eat more, but Song Chengxuan refused to give it again.
Mr. Liao did explain that she couldn't eat more and other things, so even if she was interested, she had to give up.
The phoenix chick seemed to be asleep outside, and let out a soft snoring sound.
It's true that the tiger also has a nap, Feng Xiao, this girl is really asleep, and she trusts Lord Song too much.
Xu Qinghuan smiled and spoke to Song Chengxuan: "Although that Wei E has something to hide, but there are not too many doubts about her, the style of the purse found in each clay pot is similar, but the things contained in it are different, they are all very cherished and liked by the deceased, it can be seen that the people who buried them have spent a lot of thought."
This is in line with Wei E's temperament, although he is a man, his heart is as fine as dust, his residence is clean and tidy, everything is neatly arranged, and there is nothing contrary to what he shows and what he does. ”
Thinking of the needlework in Wei'e's house, Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but glance at Song Chengxuan's feet, no wonder she always felt that something was wrong, Lord Song was wearing her embroidered shoes at this moment.
But is this really her craft? It doesn't look like it, the moire on the two sides is so different, one is embroidered on the top of the foot, and the other just shows a corner on the tip of the shoe.
Didn't Lord Song find out? It's embarrassing to wear out.
Otherwise, she took it back, Xu Qinghuan was thinking about how to speak.
"Miss."
Before Song Chengxuan could speak, Uncle Lei was taken into the courtyard by the housekeeper's mother.
Feng Xiao got up and was able to welcome Uncle Lei in.
Uncle Lei walked into the house, the eldest lady and aunt were here, Uncle Lei's heart seemed to be relaxed, and the warm cage in the house also dispelled a little cold.
"I have something to tell you."
Uncle Lei sat on the pestle and told Gu Li about it, and then looked at Song Chengxuan cautiously, mentioning the rebellion of King Wei more than ten years ago, he couldn't help but think of the previous grievances between the two families.
"Uncle Lei," Xu Qinghuan said, "I let Yongye go to King Jian's mansion, and if there is any movement there, I will send news back." ”
Uncle Lei nodded, and the eldest lady knew about it, and she would find out about it.
Uncle Lei retreated, and the room fell back into peace.
Xu Qinghuan wanted to ask about the past, but she felt that it would cause Song Chengxuan's bad memories, she stood up and just took a step forward, her arm was pulled: "Where to go?" ”
Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "I'm going to get the tea hanging and add some water to you, so that you won't feel thirsty if you talk a lot for a while." "Song Chengxuan is not a weak person, and he will not stop because he will be sad when the old things are brought up again, and with the investigation of the case, she found that there were too many people who paid for the Wei Wangfu back then, but unfortunately the Anyi Marquis Mansion was not among these people.
She wasn't there before, and she will be there in the future.
Refilling the water, she sat down again.
"I thought about it carefully, the prince of Wei was framed and murdered, all the people related to the prince of Wei are under the surveillance of the imperial court, the prince can leave the capital, there should be someone unexpected by Emperor Zhongzong to help, this person is obedient to Zhongzong on the surface, but behind the scenes he is wary of Zhongzong, so that he can find clues at a critical moment."
Xu Qinghuan called Song Chengxuan "the prince of the world" for the first time.
Compared with the title of Lord Song, the prince is more intimate.
"The prince was rescued by the Song family, but it may be difficult to succeed with the Song family alone, does the prince know if there are other people to help?"
Song Chengxuan said: "I have also checked, but in order to save me, the Song family room paid dozens of lives up and down, and the clues were cut off. ”
This is the intention of the Song family's room, not only to save Song Chengxuan, but also to protect the people who secretly help the Wei Wangfu.
Xu Qinghuan said: "I have long suspected Huijing's intentions, and now I can be sure that the person behind Huijing has found clues and suspects that the prince is still alive, and he is doing this to find the person who helped the Wei Wangfu and reveal the identity of the prince." ”
Who was the person who helped the Wei Palace?
Xu Qinghuan thought of this, and only heard Meng Lingyun come to say: "The Song family is here, saying that there are thieves in the courtyard, which scared the old lady Song, please go back and take a look." ”
