Chapter 61: Blood Amber
Lan Xiangxuan is very careful in both decoration and furnishings, but it seems to be more in line with Aunt Su's mind, it seems that Chu Mengxi has not obtained the right to take charge of Yilan Xuan in this life.
The two of them humbled for a moment, slowly sat down, and Yunshang said with a smile: "Big sister, has she been a little busy lately?" It looks like I've lost a few more weights. ”
Chu Mengxi smiled and raised his green right hand to stroke his cheek and said, "Maybe I've been a little tired lately." ”
"Really? Could it be that the fourth sister provoked the big sister again? Yun Sheng asked casually, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was just saying a very ordinary thing, but Chu Mengxi's fingers stiffened slightly when he heard this.
Chu Mengyao has been sent to the family temple for a while, and it is quite stable when she hears it, except for a few days ago, it has quieted down in the back, I think Xia Yunshang shouldn't know about it, right?
Chu Mengxi looked at Xia Yunsheng, who was as usual with a calm face, and said with a smile: "It's okay that the fourth sister has arrived recently, but I'm just a little busy recently." ”
"Then the eldest sister should pay attention to her body, by the way, I haven't seen the fourth sister for a few days, why didn't you come today?" Xia Yunshang gently picked up the blue and white tea cup with a white background in front of him, opened the tea lid, and the tea fragrance was fragrant, Yunshang blew lightly, and asked briskly.
"The fourth sister is still in the grounding recently, and next time I'm free, I'll take the fourth sister to find the third sister."
"Okay, last time I promised the fourth sister to go to the state banquet together, so I'm tired of the eldest sister and bring the fourth sister with me when the time comes." Xia Yunshang said with a smile, thinking about Chu Mengyao, the corners of Chu Mengxi's mouth twitched, and he really disdained in his heart, Chu Mengyao, that slut, would never be able to go out of the family temple in his life, let alone go to the state banquet, hum. Xia Yunsheng, this will also be the last time you will attend a state banquet in this life!
Thinking of this, Chu Mengxi's eyes gradually slowed down, and he brought up a blue and white cup with a yellow background from Jinxi, and said calmly: "The third sister's wound has not healed, hurry up and use some of this black chicken soup while it is hot to nourish it." ”
"Yes, princess, this is what our young lady specially ordered the kitchen to stew, using the best century-old ginseng, red dates, and black chicken, boiled for several hours, and it is the most nourishing." Jinxi opened the cup, and the thick aroma greeted him, Jinxi took a bowl to flatter, scooped out the hot soup, put it in front of Yunshang, and said, "Princess, please use it." ”
"Third sister, I heard from the doctor that this soup can not only nourish the body, but also beautify the skin." Chu Mengxi looked at Yun Sheng and said gently, his eyes seemed to be full of love, but Yun Sheng clearly saw deep viciousness in his watery eyes, like the mottled color of a poisonous snake before it caught its prey.
Yunshang looked at this bowl of rich soup, his eyes were slightly dark, and the blood was the guide, could it be this soup? Wait, this black chicken soup was stewed in advance, but Chu Mengxi didn't know that he would bring this set of noodles before. When you enter the garden, Jinxi takes the soup, and adds blood water during this time, then, there are only two possibilities.
One, Tang has no problem, it is just a means for Chu Mengxi to let his guard down, and the other, Yun Sheng casually looked out of the door, it was Li Chengyin who was living in Yilan.
Either way, this soup must be drunk to prevent blood from getting into the dish.
Yunshang smiled and picked up the spoon, stirred the black chicken soup, took a sip, took a handkerchief and gently wiped her red lips, spit out the soup while covering the handkerchief, put down the handkerchief gently, glanced at Zijuan, and snorted softly, Zijuan said, "What does Miss think?" But got a wound? ”
Zijuan turned sideways slightly, blocking Chu Mengxi and Jinxi's sight and changed the handkerchief before she straightened up.
Yun Sheng moved his right shoulder slightly and said, "It's okay, it's just a little touching." I thought it would get better soon after drinking the soup of the big sister. ”
Yunshang said with a chuckle, and Chu Mengxi said happily: "The third sister thinks it's okay, and I'm relieved." ”
"Miss, do you want to cook?" "Let's cook." "Yes"
Chu Mengxi commanded as the master, in Chu Mengxi's eyes, there was nothing wrong with this, but in Yunsheng's eyes, he clearly saw this intention. Yunshang looked down at the floating tea leaves in the tea cup and fell into deep thought.
In just a moment, the table was full of all kinds of food, ginger fish fillet, spicy cabbage rolls, casserole Wei deer tendon, shredded chicken white fungus, and fried beef tenderloin with green onions.
Looking at the dishes on this table, Yun Sheng sneered in his heart, these dishes look fine, the fish and meat are even, the color is bright, and it seems that he has put his heart into it, but now he is injured and medicinal, and he should avoid spicy stimulation, and only shredded chicken and white fungus can be used in this dish, I am afraid that this dish is not clean.
Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Mengxi, his face was embarrassed, and he hesitated, and after a while, he put the chopsticks heavily on the table and made a crisp sound. Chu Mengxi stopped looking at his chopsticks and asked, "What?" But the dishes are not to taste? ”
If it was a change in the previous life, Yunshang would definitely not say anything, he didn't use it much, but fortunately he went back and used some pastries, he didn't like the meal so much, and he didn't listen to his mother's lesson for this matter. But this life ......
"Big sister's food was good, just ...... Shang'er was afraid that she would not have a good mouth, so she could only look at the dishes and sighed......" After speaking, Yunshang held her chin and looked at the dishes on the table with a sad face, which seemed to be a pity.
Chu Mengxi's hand raised his chopsticks slightly when he heard this, and looked up with some surprise, Yunshang seemed to be a little different, but he didn't find anything wrong when he looked closely, Chu Mengxi frowned lightly, and said with a smile: "Seeing that I am in a hurry, I am confused, I only remember that the third sister loves to eat, and I have forgotten about the taboo, Jinxi ......"
"Yes, Miss." "The famous kitchen makes some light dishes and delivers them." Chu Mengxi commanded.
Yunshang sneered in her heart, make some light dishes and send them? I raised a problem with the dishes, but I just asked my opinion to order again, and I was so vague, I really hated it, it seems that I need to sharpen her temper, otherwise I really think I'm afraid of her, I just gave her too much face in my previous life, but I'm addicted.
"Wait~ Where can I know what to do in this kitchen, the big sister is anxious again." Yunshang smiled and covered her lips with a handkerchief, beckoned to Bihe, and said, "Bihe, go and tell the shopkeeper to give the palace golden hook swallow shadow, squirrel osmanthus fish, cherry meat, and Sixi dumplings." ”
"Yes, Princess." The corners of Bihe's mouth raised, and without waiting for Chu Mengxi to agree, she walked out of Lanxiangxuan and walked towards the lobby.
Seeing Xia Yunshang ordering food by herself, Chu Mengxi felt depressed in her heart, what? I haven't seen Xia Yunsheng, a little slut, so disobedient? I haven't been in charge of Yilanju yet, I have ordered a lot, and now that I have added food, I have a lot of extra silver, if it reaches my mother, I can't cause my reputation for extravagance and waste.
"The third sister's appetite seems to be fine, and the sister is relieved." Chu Mengxi said with a prickly expression.
"Hey, it's not a good appetite, but this injury pays more attention to diet conditioning, so I ordered it according to the usual amount of dishes, and I hope the big sister will forgive me." Yunshang said ashamedly.
As soon as these words came out, Chu Mengxi was completely speechless, and this Xia Yunshang also said, this is ordered according to the usual dishes, that is, there is no more, let alone deliberately making things difficult for Chu Mengxi.
Looking at Xia Yunsheng's innocent appearance, Chu Mengxi felt in his heart that he couldn't go up or down, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, princess, although the proportion of dishes in this order is less, it is almost the same with this black chicken soup and shredded chicken white fungus." Zijuan smiled and poured tea for Yunshang.
Yun Sheng smiled and nodded, looking like she was thinking about Chu Mengxi. Chu Mengxi just wanted to refute it, but saw Bihe leading the dishes ordered by Xiao Er.
"Princess, the dishes are ready, princess, please use them." Bihe said respectfully.
"Hmm" Yunshang nodded lightly, Zijuan stepped forward to cloth the vegetables, Chu Mengxi didn't say anything more, and Jinxi made the vegetables for himself, and only heard the sound of clothes and chopsticks for a while.
After about three moments, Yunshang nodded at Zijuan, Zijuan understood, put the chopsticks to one side, and bowed back to Yunsheng's right hand. Seeing this, Chu Mengxi glanced at Jinxi, and Jinxi also stopped chopsticks and turned around and walked to the inner room. Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yunshang's eyes, and she quickly regained her composure.
When he was just dining, Yun Sheng carefully observed that Chu Mengxi could avoid the dish of shredded chicken white fungus, and the other dishes used two or three chopsticks, which means that there was a problem with the shredded chicken white fungus. The corners of Yunsheng's mouth were slightly raised, she lowered her head to sort out her clothes, and when she was just eating, Zijuan deliberately put a chopsticks chicken shredded white fungus for herself, but she didn't eat it, but changed it out and put it in the handkerchief. If there is a problem, I will wait for tonight's check.
"What does the third sister think of the dishes?" Chu Mengxi asked kindly, like a considerate big sister.
Yunshang said with a smile: "The dishes in Yilanju are getting better and better, and it is better to let the chefs in the house come here to learn, so that they can be more refined." ”
"It's good if the third sister likes it." Chu Mengxi said happily, turning his head to look at the inner room, Jinxi slowly walked towards Chu Mengxi with a red cinnamon branch treasure box. Chu Mengxi raised his head slightly, Jinxi turned to Yunshang slightly, raised his head and opened the treasure box, only to see a walnut-sized crystal clear blood amber lying on it, the color was gorgeous, and very few impurities could be seen under the candlelight, which was really a fine product.
"I don't have anything to give to the third sister, I got this blood amber a few days ago, so I gave it to the third sister." Chu Mengxi said with a smile
"Princess, this amber has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and our eldest lady brought it specially for the princess." Jinxi said flatteringly.
Yunshang looked at this blood amber and sneered in her heart, blocking the evil? I think the most important thing I need to stop is your evil spirit. With no indication on his face, Wan Er smiled and said: "Sister Lao bothered, this blood amber looks excellent, but Xiang'er is disrespectful." Bihe~"
"Yes, Miss" Bihe smiled and took out a black lacquer luodian treasure box, walked in front of Chu Mengxi, opened the box and said with a smile: "Miss Chu, please smile." ”
Chu Mengxi opened the box with a smile in the corner of his eyes, only to see a gilt and treasured butterfly-shaped bracelet lying in the box, and the ruby decorated the butterfly's wings, which was very beautiful. Chu Mengxi couldn't put it down, taking out the bracelet and looking back and forth. said with a smile: "This handpiece is really delicate and looks tight." ”
A smile flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly: "Does the big sister like it?" ”
"Naturally, thank you third sister."
"Big sister is polite, this is the state banquet soon, I want to come to this bracelet with Caiyunlou's clothes is just right, and I can get into the eyes of the big sister, so I can rest assured." Yunshang smiled and lowered her head to drink tea, hiding the light in her eyes.
Chu Mengxi smiled politely and said, "The third sister has a heart." ”
