Chapter 43: Hot Dry Noodles
Mingshu choked and didn't know how to say it.
She really didn't expect Gu Huali to even know this.
Since she couldn't say it, Mingshu simply stopped talking. Gu Huali looked at her and said, "I saw that you not only knew Lin Chao, but also recognized it just now." ”
He sat down in front of the bookcase, leaning forward slightly, his eyes focused.
Mingshu rolled her eyes and thought for a while, so she had to say: "I pretended to be a man and went to the shop to check the accounts, I know Linchao, but Lin Chao doesn't know me." ”
This looked back on Huali but did not speak.
He was away from home for three years, and he couldn't have known what she had done when she went out.
Gu Huali retracted his gaze, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he said slowly: "You also saw it in the garden today, even if you are from your own home, you must not be alone." ”
Mingshu is not a child inside, this is naturally understood. But he was worried about her, and she nodded obediently.
He tapped his fingers on the bookcase, and continued: "Lingling, don't talk alone when you see a foreign man. Even if the maid and the woman are around, don't lose your guard. ”
Mingshu suddenly realized that he was actually a little awkward.
Also, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys are instigating to explain the things that girls should pay attention to, which is inevitable.
Gu Huali withdrew his hand a little irritably, straightened a cold face, and said, "For example, today, why didn't you bring one person into the garden by yourself?" ”
Mingshu was too excited before, and when he mentioned it, he realized that he was too hasty.
What if he was bumped into by Lin Chao at that time? Or did you really meet someone yourself?
"I ......"
"Go back and copy it fifty times, and if there is a next time, it will be a hundred times." He lowered his eyes and handed over a booklet, his voice light.
Mingshu took a look, "Thousand Words".
“……”
It turned out that Gu Huali, a powerful minister who was comfortable in everything later, was also awkward for young people, Mingshu thought.
"Or, another one, right?" Mingshu said very well-behaved.
The thousand-character text is memorized very well, even if she uses copying as a practice, she is very boring.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, he is a little awkward almost every time.
In fact, Mingshu understands this awkwardness.
If you are used to being alone, you will always be cold and indifferent, and you will not be able to approach. And once someone approaches, it is always uncomfortable up and down.
In the past, she was like this, no one was good to her, and she gradually didn't know how to be good to others.
Gu Huali's expression didn't change, and he only said, "You pick one." ”
Mingshu picked up a book, leaned over, and said, "Fifth brother, how about this one?" ”
He glanced at him, "If you like it." ”
"I don't like any of them." Mingshu shook her arm and said slowly. The voice changed, "Fifth brother, I really remember, I will never be so hasty next time." ”
Only then did he look at her and said, "If you like to copy it, copy it." "It's so thick, it's enough for her to copy it for a month.
Mingshu: "......"
To tell you the truth, she really loves to copy.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Fifth brother, the osmanthus nectar before was actually not made by me." Then he said a little embarrassedly: "That's hard to do, so I helped wash the osmanthus." But next time I'll do it myself, and I'll give you a can. ”
In the past few years, he has been traveling all over the world, saying that he is a study tour, but in fact, he has not had a hard time.
The osmanthus nectar in the mountain village and countryside, he had seen how to do it, and it was very simple, but he didn't hit Mingshu.
"Okay."
Mingshu suddenly felt a little happy, and if she rounded it up, someone could barely recognize her cooking skills.
"I used to read travelogues, and it was said that some people would bring a jar of soil from their hometown when they went far away. Even if you are in a foreign country, you will not be unaccustomed to the soil. When necessary, it can also be used to soothe homesickness. Her mind jumped again, and she hurriedly asked him, "Fifth brother, are you still going out this time?" ”
In fact, she thought he would go out, but suddenly remembered to confirm it.
Gu Huali shook his head and said, "I'm all back, what else is going on." ”
Even if something happens, he has no excuse not to stay home.
Mingshu looked a little unhappy and said, "That's it...... I also thought that instead of bringing the soil of my hometown, I should bring the food of my hometown. After all, the water and soil are not adapted, isn't it because the food is different? Mix the hot dry noodles of Wuchang with osmanthus nectar, and you can probably do it. ”
Gu Huali thought about that scene and pressed his smile under a coffin face.
Mingshu was interested, and said, "But it's better at home, you have everything." Mingshu said with a smile: "I recently learned a lot of pastries from Mama Du, and I will give them to my fifth brother in the future." ”
Gu Huali didn't know what to say, and Mingshu crackled again: "But I didn't do as well as Mama Du, don't dislike me." If you don't like it, I can make a lot of delicious food in the future, and I will never give it to you...... However, apart from the fifth brother and grandmother, I have no one to send. It's too troublesome for Yanyan and Wanwan's home to send it over! ”
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mingshu dropped the booklet in his hand and said, "What does the fifth brother like to eat?" ”
Gu Huali also thought about it very seriously, and then shook his head.
He himself felt that his thoughts were so many and deep, but the funny thing was that he never even paid attention to what he liked to eat or what clothes he liked.
He suddenly felt that he was too cold and indifferent to be a person.
Mingshu wrinkled her nose and said, "Then try slowly, I can do a lot of things." ”
Gu Huali didn't expose her, the lady in the Hou Mansion also learned simple and exquisite pastry soup, where can she really make anything extremely chic.
But it's also good to have a loved one who has this heart.
"Okay." He smiled at Mingshu and straightened her swaying beads.
Mingshu suddenly realized that she was a little off-topic, and hurriedly said, "Fifth brother, I have to go back." ”
He nodded and said, "Remember to copy the book." ”
Mingshu: "......"
Gu Huali called someone to send Mingshu back, and then he went back to the study, and whispered to the little servant: "Go and check the Lin Dynasty," paused, and added: "Let's take a look at the shop that Mingshu has run in the past few years." ”
The little guy respectfully agreed, and then withdrew.
The dusty study suddenly dimmed, and he sat down in front of the bookcase, wanting to start some discussion as before.
But the ink is all ground, and the brush is full of ink. He carried the pen, but he didn't leave it at all.
Gu Huali frowned, as if he was a little uncomfortable and a little confused.
Is he going to make this place his home?
He remembered the courtyard where he had been imprisoned as a child, full of rotting wood, and full of rats running around at night, squeaking and screaming. The ground was filled with cold water vapor, and it was dark and dark under the high and deep patio.
The door was locked, and only a bad-eyed mother-in-law brought a bowl of spoiled food in the morning and evening.
That kind of long-term darkness and loneliness can almost make people crazy and desperate from the bones.
