Chapter Eighty-Three: The Joker
"Nope." Mo gently drank the tea and denied it, a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, why did he lose his temper if he hadn't been together?
"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have Bei Dinghou said embarrassedly.
"Then do you like General An?" After a while, Bei Dinghou suddenly asked again.
Mo was stunned for a moment, she didn't know whether she liked An Shuangchi or not, this question was very confusing to her.
"That's the case, Xiaohou doesn't mean anything else, just that you and General An don't look like a couple, but like a pair of happy enemies." It's not that Beidinghou deliberately said this, through his observation for so many days, he feels that An Shuangchi and Mo Qingrou seem very estranged, and Mo Qingrou is always respectful to An Shuangchi, of course, it is not the kind of obedience that the wife has to her husband, but like the obedience of the maid to the master.
This made him feel very suspicious, so he always knocked on the relationship between the two of them in front of Mo Qingrou and that Deputy General Zhang.
"What's wrong with rejoicing in the enemy?" An Shuangchi's sudden voice startled the two people in the room.
In fact, An Shuangchi was just outside the door and wanted to hear Mo Qingrou's sincere words, but unfortunately Mo Qingrou in the room was like a puppet sitting there motionless, he was anxious to hear the answer, so he couldn't wait to come out.
"General An, why are you here?" Beidinghou was obviously a little surprised, he obviously asked Vice General Zhang, saying that General An would not be able to get out of the body for a while if he had important matters to deal with, so he would take Mo out gently.
"What? Does General Ben's wife still need to report to the Marquis of Beiding? An Shuangchi looked at Bei Dinghou expressionlessly.
"Or is it that General Ben missed the major event of Beidinghou?" Without waiting for Bei Dinghou to speak, An Shuang said slowly, but his eyes were aimed at Bei Dinghou's arm.
"No, no, what the general said." Beidinghou will not forget how he didn't have this arm.
At this time, the shopkeeper brought up the special dishes ordered by Beidinghou and the chrysanthemum wine they asked for one by one, "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”
"General, would you like some wine?" Beidinghou took the chrysanthemum wine and made a gesture to pour it for An Shuangchi, but An Shuangchi stopped his hand with a big hand.
"Master Hou is polite, my gentleness doesn't like me to drink too much."
Mo Qingrou was suddenly named, and glared at An Shuangchi inexplicably, when did she become their family? Have you asked her for her opinion?
After receiving Mo Qingrou's eyes, An Shuangchi rubbed Mo Qingrou's hair dotingly: "I have been fighting outside all the year round, and I am indeed a little negligent about Qingrou, so I decided to compensate you well in the future, so Qingrou, don't play with me anymore, okay?" Save someone from misunderstanding our feelings. ”
Although An Shuangchi's words were said softly to Mo, the implication was that the Marquis of Beiding didn't want to take advantage of people's danger.
"Don't be angry, let's eat, it's your favorite thing to do." An Shuangchi gave Mo a piece of chicken leg gently, and Mo gently ate as if no one was around.
Mo Qingrou's attention was quickly attracted by the specialties here, and the two of them fed and ate one by one, so unhappy, they hung Beidinghou aside.
Until Mo gently pointed to a plate of pink and tender things on the table and wondered, "What is this?" How could it be so beautiful? ”
At this time, Bei Dinghou finally came in handy, and he was anxious to explain to Mo gently: "Miss Mo, this dish is the signature dish in this restaurant, if you don't book it in advance, if you want to eat this dish, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" ”
"I see, what is the name of this dish and what is it made of?"
"The name of this dish is Zhu Yao, and the raw material is made from tofu."
Bean curd? Mo's eyes widened in disbelief, she picked up the spoon and gently put it in her mouth.
I have to say that this ancient man just knew how to cook, and look at this craft is about to catch up with the chef of a modern five-star hotel.
However, this dish is actually made with tofu, but how did you get the pink color on it? Could it be that there were additives in ancient times? Impossible, she called the shopkeeper and asked him if he could let the cook come to make the dish, and she wanted to ask how the pink on the tofu was obtained.
Soon a thinner man walked in, and Mo gently took a look and found that not all cooks were pot-bellied. It turns out that there are also such thin ones.
"I've seen Master Hou."
"Excuse me, you're the cook in this restaurant?"
"Hui Hou Ye, yes." The cook spoke but was very pertinent.
"There's a girl here who wants to ask you something, and I want you to answer truthfully."
"Got it."
Mo Qingrou saw that this cook did not look like a real cook, but had a scholarly atmosphere.
"You're not a cook, are you?" Mo said softly, and the cook, who had originally lowered his head, raised his head in shock when he heard Mo Qingrou say this, and something seemed to crack in his eyes at that moment.
But this emotion was quickly well disguised by him.
"Girl's eyesight." It's just a simple sentence, and he didn't ask Mo Qingrou how he knew, because people who understand you sometimes don't have to say much.
"I came here first, just to ask you how this Zhu Yao is made."
The cook scratched his head embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not a difficult process, I first grind a radish into powder, and then fry the radish powder and tofu together in the pot, and it becomes this Zhu Yao." ”
"Seconds!" Mo let out a sigh of emotion gently, he didn't expect this dish to be made like this.
"But why are you working as a cook here? Should you go to Beijing to catch the exam? ”
The cook nodded, as if he had met a bosom friend today: "The girl is right, I am a showman, I never wanted to fall off the list one after another, and under all kinds of entanglements, I will come here to be a cook." ”
"Then why don't you go ahead and catch the exam? Can't you give up just because of this setback? ”
The cook shook his head and shed two lines of tears: "No, it's better to start a family as soon as possible, I have no chance to be an official in this life, but I found a suitable one in this back kitchen." ”
Mo Qingrou admired this talent in front of him very much, because he didn't read the book to death, and he didn't have the intention of being an official, maybe this being a cook is his best destination!
The cook was also glad that he had met someone who understood him in this restaurant.
I saw that the woman in front of me was wearing a long skirt of dark blue brocade, embroidered with white plum blossoms, and used a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist that was unbearable. The jet-black hair is tied into a wishful bun, and only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted. Although concise, it looks fresh and elegant to the mirror to freshen up. The face is thinly powdered, dressed in a light blue silk double-glazed cloud goose dress, a newly picked white plum on the head, and only a jasper hairpin is pulled on top of the head, and a thin silver silk beaded tassel is embellished.
He couldn't help but be fascinated by it, until An Shuang's unpleasant cough remembered that the cook knew that he had overstepped.
"Girl, don't be weird, the villain just hasn't seen someone as beautiful as you and understands me for a long time, so I looked at it twice, and I hope the girl is not weird."
"It's okay, you go get busy first!"
Mo gently sighed a lot at this meal, and finally went back without saying anything.
Beidinghou's good things were disturbed by An Shuangchi again, he returned to the room unwillingly, and he threw the things in the room all over the ground in anger.
When the family outside the door heard this, they didn't dare to go in to check what was going on, for fear that one of them would accidentally lead the source of the disaster to themselves.
An Shuangchi went back to the room in annoyance, thinking that Mo Qingrou showed a smile to the cook that he had never seen before, especially when she heard the cook praise her, not to mention how bright that smile was.
Early in the morning, Beidinghou was busy with business, which gave Xu Meijiao a good opportunity.
She found a dress in the closet and put it on her body, and asked the maid to put on makeup.
Yingying walked to Zhang Liangyu's room, Zhang Liangyu had just gotten up, heard a knock on the door, and opened it to see.
I saw Xu Meijiao's light long gauze skirt, a small jacket of rose red brocade, a snow-white rabbit fluff sewn on the corners, an orange-red ribbon around the waist, with an inlaid piece of fine Hetian Meiyu on the left side of the belt, a piece of high-quality glazed jade hanging around the waist, a brocade-like long hair with a red jade coral hairpin tied into a falling moon hairpin, a row of pendant glass curtains inserted under the hairpan, more charming and graceful, elegant jade face painted with light plum blossom makeup, The original clear and beautiful face faded because she had become a woman, and the immature youth showed a trace of charm, seducing the soul.
If it was like a fairy, the country and the city were outstanding, but now it is like a fairy who has fallen into the dust by mistake and has been stained with a trace of dust, which is enough to make a man lose his soul suddenly.
Zhang Liangyu frowned unhappily, although the two of them were old acquaintances, they wouldn't dress like this to meet, so he asked expressionlessly, "What does the sixth lady have to do?" ”
Xu Meijiao heard Zhang Liangyu call herself 'Sixth Lady' detachedly, and took a few steps back heartbroken: "Liangyu, why are you so alienated?" ”
Obviously promised her yesterday that he would take him away and marry her, why is it like a different person today?
Zhang Liangyu didn't understand what Xu Meijiao was referring to, so he was puzzled: "Sixth lady, I am not alienated, I have always been like this!" ”
"How is it possible, yesterday you promised me that you would take me away and marry me, why do you seem to be a different person today?"
Zhang Liangyu knew that she had misunderstood, "Sixth Madame, you forced you with a dagger yesterday, and I promised you that it was really helpless." ”
What the? Zhang Liangyu's words deeply stung Xu Meijiao's heart, because she got up in the morning and dressed up so carefully, it turned out that in his eyes, she was just a clown who jumped off the beam.
