Chapter 484: Bacon and Noodles (2)
As he spoke, he thrust a knife into the table.
The frightened Grandma Pan hurriedly hugged Lu Wangshu and retreated behind Lu Li, and all the guards were sitting in disguise, so a few big men couldn't tell whether it was Lu Li's person or not, so his tone was arrogant.
"I'd like to see how unkind you are!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Li instantly got up and waved the long sword on the neck of the leading big man with lightning speed, and before the big man could react, a trace of blood appeared.
The big man was stunned, he didn't react to the extremely fast speed, he only felt a tingling sensation in his neck, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the sword was already on his neck.
Su Xiaoman hurriedly got up and stepped forward to hold Lu Li's well-defined hand: "Why should the husband be angry, these big brothers just want to eat noodles!" ”
He raised his eyebrows lightly, signaling Lu Li not to act rashly.
The leading man knew that the woman in front of him was giving him a step, and explained in a panic: "Yes, yes, yes!" Our brother smelled the fragrance at the door, and he was greedy! ”
Instantly transformed into a simple tone, Su Xiaoman couldn't help but raise his eyes and smile with the big man on his back: "If you want to eat, let them eat, this is an affirmation of my cooking skills!" ”
After listening to Su Xiaoman's words, he withdrew his long sword, glanced at the big man and motioned for him to sit aside, and several people chose a corner position, and instantly became a little girl and sat in the seat obediently.
Lu Li knew that Su Xiaoman didn't want to make trouble in Jiangnan, so he listened to her words, if it was in Canglan, these big men would have been beaten up a long time ago.
Su Xiaoman rolled up his sleeve robe and walked into the kitchen, there were still a lot of leftovers that he simply made, and he only needed to heat it up, and the dough was ready-made, roll out the noodles and cook them in the pot.
Lu Li lifted the curtain and walked to her side: "Mrs. Fortune has actually been reduced to cooking noodles for the rats in the rivers and lakes, doesn't Mrs. feel wronged?" ”
Su Xiaoman smiled interestingly: "What's wronged, isn't it good that someone appreciates the food made by your wife, although a few people outside are rude, they just come to smell the aroma of the food made by your wife, I can't be happy yet, why should I be wronged?" ”
Lu Li looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead, stretched out his hand to wipe it for her, and said: "If Madame works hard, it is not as hard as a lot of work, just let the guards drive you out for your husband, why bother with you?" ”
"It's better not to make trouble when we're in Jiangnan now, my husband knows that I don't like too high-profile things, if I provoke the officers and soldiers here to inquire about it when the time comes, wouldn't it be said that I am a spy from another country?"
As he spoke, he instructed Pearl to take out the five bowls of noodles he had made, only to hear Pearl shouting: "I am a high-ranking maid in the Mansion of the National Government and will also be reduced to serving the miscellaneous people in the rivers and lakes, really!" ”
The pouting look was very cute, and Su Xiaoman, who provoked him, couldn't help but purse his lips and smiled: "Look, Pearl is also like you, you and I are ordinary people, why are we higher than others, besides, we haven't found anything interesting to do in Jiangnan for a few days, and now I think about it!" ”
Lu looked at her puzzled: "What? ”
"Why don't we choose a shop in Jiangnan and specialize in making noodles?"
knew that all she was thinking about was doing business, so she reached out and scratched the tip of her nose: "Ouch, my lady, we are out to play, why do you want to do business again!" ”
Su Xiaoman turned his face away, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of Zhenzi and shook it on the tip of Lu Li's nose: "You smell it, it's not fragrant, it's not delicious!" ”
Lu Li nodded frequently, and said arrogantly: "Can the food made by my wife not taste good?" ”
"So how about you go to choose a store today?"
looked at him with longing eyes, as if he was as cute as a lamb waiting to be sucked, Lu Li couldn't resist her, so he had to nod and agree first.
But if this store is really opened in Jiangnan, it will not be delayed to return to Canglan, is she deliberately dragging it out and not wanting to go back? Still have other plans, Lu Li sometimes really can't guess what his wife thinks, scratched his head and turned around and walked out of the kitchen, Su Xiaoman followed.
The five big men stared at the pearl and watched the hot noodles come up, the Adam's apple moved unconsciously, smelling the taste and feeling that it was a delicacy in the world, several people gobbled up the noodles in a few bites and put them into their mouths, and did not forget to lick the bottom of the bowl after eating.
Pearl returned to Su Xiaoman's side, looked at the five people with disgust, and shouted: "Madam, you don't have to cook food for people like them!" ”
"Pearl, you don't understand!"
As he spoke, he saw the leading man walking up to Su Xiaoman with a noodle bowl, and looked at her with adoring eyes: "The noodles made by this lady are really delicious, but our brothers have a big appetite and haven't eaten enough, can you see if you can add a few more bowls, and I can give two taels of silver?" ”
Su Xiaoman knew that these people must have a big appetite, so he specially cooked some more and put them in the pot, raised his eyes and looked at the pearl and said, "You go and buy a few more bowls for this big brother, there are still in the pot!" ”
Pearl stomped her feet angrily, walked into the kitchen with a bowl, and the leader laughed twice: "Thank you, madam, I have never eaten such delicious noodles for many years, and I still remember the noodles made by my mother when I was a child, which is also this kind of bacon noodles, and I haven't eaten this taste for many years!" ”
Talking about his bitter history with a handful of tears and snot, Su Xiaoman smiled awkwardly: "Then you can eat more, the amount is enough!" ”
Pearl served the noodles, walked out of the kitchen with a black face, handed the noodles to the leading man, and glanced at him impatiently: "Eat, eat!" ”
The leading man walked to the position with a smile on the noodles, beckoning his brother to eat, and the wolfing appearance made Pearl even more angry: "These people are tyrannical creatures, where do they know how to eat!" ”
Su Xiaoman glanced at her, and Pearl didn't dare to say anything more.
After breakfast, a few big men really gave five taels of silver and put it in front of Su Xiaoman, respectfully made a bow, turned around and touched his round belly, and walked out with a satisfied face, and said when he left: "This noodle is really good, I will eat it next time!" ”
Su Xiaoman took the five taels of silver, put it on the hand of the angry pearl and said, "This silver will be given to you, it's okay, you're still angry." ”
After speaking, he pinched his sore shoulders and went to the room.
In the afternoon, Lu Li went to find a shop according to what Su Xiaoman said, but because he was unfamiliar with the place, he never found a good shop, and returned to the inn with a depressed face.
Listening to the dark whistle outside, Lu Li walked to the backyard, only to see the dark guard hiding his breath, as if he was seriously injured, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What happened?" Why did it hurt like this? ”
Then he turned to the guard and said, "Quickly send him to the wing room and find a doctor!" ”
"Yes!"
Several guards helped the secret guard into the wing, and the secret guard lay on the bed with a sigh of relief, the knife wounds on his body were clearly visible, and he was still bubbling blood, and his face was pale with beads of sweat: "Grandpa Guo, the vicissitudes have changed dramatically, I'm afraid that if you return to the canglan at this time, your life will be in danger!" ”
Lu Li asked puzzledly: "Don't talk yet!" ”
After a while, the guards invited the doctors in Jiangnan City, and hurriedly diagnosed and treated the dark guards, prescribed a few medicines, and applied hemostatic medicine to the wounds, at which time the secret guards were already asleep.
Lu Li couldn't understand that it had only been more than half a month since he left Canglan, what happened to the great changes mentioned by the secret guard, why he came back with a serious injury, and who injured him like this.
A series of questions swirled in Lu Li's mind, and he turned to the guard and said, "You quickly flew the pigeon to send a message to Han Zhi and asked him what happened to Canglan!" ”
"Yes!"
Calculating the time, the flying pigeon will return to Jiangnan at most the day after tomorrow, although the injury of the secret guard has been controlled, but he is still in a coma, remembering what Su Xiaoman said before, could it be that she had the foresight to open a shop in Jiangnan?
Lu Li got up and walked back to the bedroom, Su Xiaoman heard that the secret guard was injured, and he had already gotten up and originally planned to go to Lu Li, but he didn't expect him to come back by himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Canglan, but something happened?" ”
Lu Li looked at her in surprise, and sure enough, she knew the matter: "Madame already knew that something was going to happen in Canglan?" ”
Su Xiaoman shook his head: "At first, I also suspected Xue Xiuhua's motive for entering the palace, but now it is clear, last time you said that it was Xue Xiuhua who instructed that little guy to come and persecute the fetus in my womb, I already knew what happened, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!" ”
Lu Li was puzzled, why did she know so many things, Xue Xiuhua did not directly tell her about entering the palace to serve Chu Yu before, but she had foresight.
"How did Madam know about Xue Xiuhua?"
Su Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled: "Last time, that little guy said that it was for Xue Naqing to avenge him, and Concubine Yu secretly wanted you to take Xue Xiuhua as a concubine, I already feel that something is wrong!" ”
As soon as he said this, he was even more puzzled: "Something is wrong? ”
"Well, before Concubine Yu wanted to force a concubine to you just to start from you, before you were in power to the government and the opposition, and you were close friends with the king, if you could start from you, it would be great, but what I didn't expect was that Concubine Yu's matter was revealed to be self-defeating, and Xue Xiuhua had no choice but to start from the king!"
In this way, the doubts in Lu Centrifugal were solved in an instant, but what is the great change in Canglan and what does it have to do with Xue Xiuhua is still a question.
His mind was chaotic, and suddenly a flash of inspiration seemed to have thought of something, but when he thought about it carefully, the spiritual light in his mind seemed to disappear, and he couldn't grasp anything.
That's it, if you have doubts this time, then keep a little more mind, and so on.
