Chapter 9 The heart is happy, but you don't know
The branches on the moon, the wind blows the green leaves, and the shadows of the trees are mottled.
In the master bedroom of the Lin Mansion, a man in black floated up. Carefully looking at the girl on the bed, there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes. Leaning over slightly, he raised his hand to brush away a few strands of the woman's somewhat messy hair, "Yu Zijin? ”
"Who are you!" Lin Xiao, who was sleeping on the soft collapse, felt something strange in the house and woke up immediately. When he raised his eyes, he saw the man in black standing beside Yu Zijin.
The man in black turned around, and the inky hood covered most of his features, revealing only an angular jaw and thin lips with a faint peach color.
Lin Xiao was silent, staring at the man in black who appeared out of thin air in front of him.
......
Early the next morning.
"Little lazy worm, it's time to get up, the sun is on your ass." Lin Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand and pulled the corners of the quilt, and seeing that the little girl did not react at all, she stretched out her index finger and gently poked her arm.
"Hmm...... Sleep for a while, just for a while" Yu Zijin didn't wake up, and his voice was glutinous.
"I wanted to take you out to play today, but since you want to continue sleeping, forget it." Seeing that Yu Zijin didn't seem to have any intention of getting up at all, Lin Xiao made a look of wanting to leave.
To play? Yu Zijin instantly sobered up, "Go, go!" Due to a moment of excitement, Yu Zijin sat up directly from the bed. Lin Xiao didn't expect the little girl's reaction to be so big, and she couldn't dodge it for a while, so the two slammed into each other.
"Why are you sitting so close to me!"
"Why are you reacting so much!"
The two spoke in unison, and then they were both stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and the room fell silent for a moment.
"What time is it?" Yu Zijin was the first to break the deadlock.
"You sleep a little longer, and it's time for lunch." Lin Xiao looked at Yu Zijin, who looked away in a panic and tidied up the bedding, got up and pretended to pat the dust on his clothes, then turned around leisurely, and finally left only a distant back, "Quickly clean up and come out, maybe you can eat it." ”
"Huh?"
Seeing that Lin Xiao had already gone away, Yu Zijin did not procrastinate, and quickly packed up and went out to chase, "Where are you going?" ”
"Take you to meet someone." Lin Xiao pretended to be mysterious.
"Who?"
"Someone you're going to love."
The carriage stopped in a remote alley at the end of which was a quaint gate with two abrupt dark green lanterns hanging from the gate.
Yu Zijin jumped out of the carriage and looked around, but still couldn't figure out why, "Where is this ......?"
Squeak-Before Yu Zijin finished speaking, he heard the sound of the wooden door opening, followed by a woman's enthusiastic call.
"Brother Lin Xiao!" A girl dressed in a red Luo skirt and a golden bell tied around her waist rushed out of the wooden door, "Why are you here, huh?" This is ...... Sister-in-law? ”
The air seemed to be still, only the bell on the woman's body was left ringing in the wind, and Yu Zijin and Lin Xiao were both stunned. Sister-in-law? This girl is really good at joking, Yu Zijin said in his heart, and couldn't help laughing dryly.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao was only slightly stunned, and then immediately returned to normal, and did not dwell on the issue of the name of the woman in red, and directly introduced the two, "Yu Zijin, Bai Lishan." ”
Berry? The surname is Baili...... Princess Nanyue, how could she be familiar with Lin Xiao? And looking at Lin Xiao's meaning, it directly indicates the true identity of the two, Bai Lishan affectionately calls Lin Xiao as his brother, the relationship between the two is not extraordinary, is this Bai Lishan Lin Xiao's sister secretly raised?
Just walked a few steps, seeing that the little girl was still standing in place, and her mind didn't know where to go, Lin Xiao sighed slightly, turned back, raised her hand and gently knocked on Yu Zijin's head, "What do you want!" ”
"Ah, what are you knocking me for?" Yu Zijin, who was interrupted from his thoughts, was stunned.
"Gone!" Lin Xiao looked helpless.
"Brother Lin Xiao, sister-in-law, come on, try my new skills." Seeing that the two of them were still grinding at the door, Bai Lishan couldn't help but urge.
Yu Zijin didn't stay too long, and followed Lin Xiao to approach the small courtyard. As far as the eye can see, all are cyan bamboo, and each hut is built behind the bamboo forest, looming, with a unique charm.
The owner of the small courtyard seems to regard this place as a place of seclusion, quiet and quiet, with an indescribable sense of lightness.
Dining room.
"Stewed chicken with straw mushrooms, fresh mushroom choy sum, stewed lion's head, osmanthus duck, shrimp bamboo shoots, braised carp, try it." Brisan warmly introduced the six dishes on the large round table.
Yu Zijin secretly smacked his tongue, this pomp, this hue, is comparable to a state banquet, he can actually eat it in a small courtyard in the alley, or the princess of a country does it, it is really not easy, it is just wonderful.
"Shan'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better." After Lin Xiao tasted all kinds of bites, he praised them. Hearing Lin Xiao say this, Yu Zijin suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't wait to use chopsticks to taste.
"Delicious! Did you do it all? Yu Zijin, who has always had a high pursuit of eating, couldn't help but admire.
"yes, hehe, that's good." No matter how senior a worker is, he or she wants to hear recognition of his or her work. Therefore, Bai Lishan was also in a good mood when she saw Yu Zijin praising her cooking skills.
"Well, it feels very similar to the taste of Yipinju. If you open a store, you may not be able to compete in Yipinju and become a leader in the food industry. Yu Zijin did not hesitate to praise him, and even cast Bai Lishan with a "I support you" expression.
"Huh? Didn't Brother Lin Xiao tell his sister-in-law? Seeing Yu Zijin say this, Bai Lishan couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Say what?" Yu Zijin was asked by Bai Lishan, and he was a little confused, and directly ignored Bai Lishan's title.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you secretly, Brother Lin Xiao has a lot of industry, but he has money, you must take care of it." Bai Lishan approached Yu Zijin and whispered in her ear. While speaking, he also glanced at Lin Xiao by the way, and put on a look of what he was talking about a shocking secret.
"What do you mean?" Yu Zijin completely failed to understand Bai Lishan's bizarre "hinting" behavior.
"You are stupid, Yipinju is Brother Lin Xiao's. He didn't tell you, so you don't know. Bai Lishan put on a look of hatred for iron and steel, and sighed heavily. Brother Lin Xiao is not a stingy person, why did he hide this matter from his sister-in-law, and deceived his sister-in-law so hard, he can't be embarrassed by Brother Lin Xiao.
On the other hand, Yu Zijin was shocked when he heard the news. Yipinju is Lin Xiao's? In that case, the one who ran Yipinju into the first restaurant in just a few years was Lin Xiao, and the last time he fought in Yipinju, the person who offered sky-high prices to help himself was also Lin Xiao.
Yu Zijin was suddenly angry, and dared to feel that when he met Lin Xiao for the first time, he was throwing money at him. said that he invited him to dinner, obviously dragging the silver ticket into Lin Xiao's pocket.
Seeing that the little girl looked so angry that she couldn't speak, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile slyly, "Thank you Jin'er for your heartfelt compliment at that time." ”
Praise? That's right, Yu Zijin praised the owner of Yipinju in front of the owner at that time.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Yu Zijin glanced at Lin Xiao menacingly.
"You didn't ask." Lin Xiao looked innocent.
"Sister-in-law is dissipated, there must be some misunderstanding during this time." Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Lishan immediately spoke out to dissuade her, but she never thought that Yu Zijin would be even more angry as soon as this statement came out.
"Who's your sister-in-law!"
"Eh, no, Brother Lin Xiao, don't be stunned, hurry up and coax your sister-in-law."
At this time, Lin Xiao was eating the dishes on the table one bite at a time, and did not pay attention to the little girl who was running rampantly on the side, and Bai Lishan, who hurriedly spoke out to comfort but did not receive a good face. If you want to settle the little girl, there is naturally a better way.
"Hey, don't eat it all!" Yu Zijin hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and attacked Lin Xiao's hand stretched out to the osmanthus duck.
Seeing that Yu Zijin wanted to stop him, Lin Xiao flipped his wrist lightly, crossed the chopsticks that attacked, and put a piece of duck meat in his mouth. Yu Zijin was not to be outdone, and when the duck meat did not reach his mouth, he bullied over and grabbed it first.
Previously, the attention of the two was on the duck meat, and at this time, the duck meat had entered Yu Zijin's mouth, and there was no dispute, and when he looked at the state of the two, Yu Zijin reacted, and the distance between him and Lin Xiao was only a few centimeters.
Bai Lishan, who had been watching the battle from the side, looked surprised, and said in her heart, the relationship between Brother Lin Xiao and her sister-in-law is really good.
Yu Zijin quickly retreated as if he had touched boiling water, but because of the excessive range of movement, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell backwards. Lin Xiao was helpless, and immediately reached out to hold Yu Zijin's waist and hold her steady.
"Eat, eat." Yu Zijin also left Lin Xiao's arms as if she was running away, sat upright, picked up chopsticks and picked up vegetables, but her tone betrayed the tension in her heart.
Feeling the warmth in his arms fleeting, Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with loss, but he quickly covered it up with another complicated look, and this look was looking at Bai Lishan.
"Sister-in-law, I won't tell you, most of the cuisines in Yipinju are made by me, and it just so happens that I suddenly have an inspiration for a new dish today, why don't you go to research with me in the afternoon?" Brishan suddenly suggested.
"Okay." In fact, Yu Zijin is also very keen on food, and when he heard Bai Lishan say this, he naturally would not refuse.
Lunch time passed slowly.
Small courtyard kitchen.
"Is it okay to cut so big?" Yu Zijin pointed to the freshly cut diced radish on the board and asked.
Brishan put down the plate with the marinated beef in her hand, stepped forward and glanced at it, "Well, it's almost, just cut it to the same size." "I thought that Yu Zijin was the lord of the county, but he must have never been in the kitchen, and he might not be able to do a good job of cutting vegetables, so he had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect Yu Zijin's knife skills to be unexpectedly proficient.
After seeing Bai Lishan's approval, Yu Zijin continued to bow his head and cut the radish. A breeze blew into the kitchen, Yu Zijin suddenly felt a sore feeling on the back of his neck, his eyes suddenly blurred, the knife in his hand failed to be accurate, and he accidentally scratched his fingers, "Hiss-"
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you." Hearing the strange noise, Bai Lishan anxiously asked about Yu Zijin's situation.
"It's okay if you accidentally scratch it." It's just a small cut, and Yu Zijin doesn't care very much.
