Chapter 30 The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
Liang Ci walked up the steps step by step, elegant and calm and powerful, he turned his head and indifferently ordered the guards behind him: "If this crazy woman dares to make trouble here again, or slander Miss Eleven's reputation, she will be killed!" β
He spoke lightly, and the indifferent word "kill" was as light as pinching an ant to death, with a cold and murderous aura.
I was shocked in my heart, and when I raised my eyes to look, Aunt Seven was also frightened in an instant, holding her sharp cry to the tip of her throat, and she didn't dare to curse again.
Liang Ci frowned and looked at me, his body was full of cold cold: "Can you not have so much trouble around me next time I see you." β
I bowed my head in shame, my heart was as heavy as a drum, and I obediently stirred the corners of my clothes, silent.
Liang Ci turned around and said to Aunt Seven in disgust: "As for Qingyin's matter, I advise you to go back and ask your other baby daughter, she was self-defeating and harmed her sister, and refused to admit it, so she pushed it on Qingyin?" β
The seventh aunt opened her mouth and wanted to justify, as if she was afraid of cold words, she dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but she cried even more sadly, tears flowed and her face was confused.
Liang Ci walked over, naturally took my fingertips, and said very softly: "Go home obediently." β
But the four words are like a long drought and rain, which makes my heart tremble.
I was still embarrassed and did not dare to look up, and with a red face as if it was on fire, I obediently followed him, following in unison. The fingertips held in the palm of his hand were already drenched in sweat, slippery and cold.
He turned around suddenly, I almost bumped into him, raised my head in panic, and saw that he was staring at me with his head down, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned: "Why is your face still so red, is it still poisonous?" β
One word. It made my face burn again, and the fire was raging. I shyly shook off his hand, ignored him, and turned around and ran back the way I came.
Liang Ci laughed heartily behind him.
I fled in a panic, returned to the house where I lived, buried my head in the brocade quilt, embarrassed and embarrassed, and scolded myself for being so useless, and he was just a joke, and made myself lose my armor.
The door creaked open, and there was a shallow footstep slowly pacing to the edge of the **, stopping in front of me.
I tilted my head and peeked through my fingers, and Liang Ci was leaning over to look at me with a funny face.
"Get out, get out, how can you run into someone's house and say hello." I exclaimed in shame.
Liang Ci laughed twice and sat down in front of me: "It seems that this room is mine, and it is you who are uninvited." β
"Huh?" I raised my face embarrassedly, sniffed carefully, and there was indeed a faint fragrance on the soft brocade quilt that looked like sandalwood and not sandalwood, like musk but not musk. It turned out that he was sleeping on his **. I didn't know how to answer for a while, as if no matter what I said, I would inevitably be ridiculed by him.
Liang Ci accepted it when he saw it: "Okay, okay, I didn't eat at noon because you stirred it up, so accompany me to eat." Are you hungry? β
Listening to his reminder, I felt hungry, and I hadn't eaten for a day.
Embarrassed to sit up, still not daring to look at him, his eyes wandered, and he whispered, "I'm hungry." β
Liang Ci looked up at the sky outside: "The food in the house should not be prepared yet, can we raise the charcoal stove and bake things by ourselves?" β
I looked up at him, and he nodded proudly: "I like to eat the grilled fish you make, and after returning to Beijing, I asked my subordinates to rebuild a charcoal stove, which specializes in roasting meat and eating. β
When he said it seriously, I couldn't help but laugh "poof": "When I was in the mountains, the master has always been a vegetarian, not meaty, every time someone goes up the mountain, they will bring me a lot of chicken, fish and meat, I am afraid that the master will not like this fishy smell, so I make a fire and eat it." Smoky and smoky, tasteless, how can such a vulgar food be remembered by you. β
Liang Ci said with a sad face: "The cook in my house is the imperial chef sent from the palace by the queen mother, and he will only make some light and tasteless dishes, steamed in the cage drawer, and eat them whenever he wants, not hot or cold, and he really has no appetite." So I've never been very interested in this food, and I never knew that something had a different flavor when grilled. β
After some ridicule, the ** surging undercurrent between the two has disappeared. I was instantly interested, jumped up, and said with a smile: "I want to eat roast lamb!" β
Liang Ci** smiled indulgently: "Okay, there are grilled fish, quails, vegetables and vegetables." β
I unconsciously smacked my mouth, looked at me helplessly and shook my head: "Look at your impatient gluttony, I'm afraid it's too late to marinate the mutton in advance, so it can only be roasted in slices to make it more flavorful." β
In an instant, his mouth overflowed with saliva, and he couldn't resist it anymore, urging again and again.
Liang Ci turned around and gave orders to go down, I obediently followed him, and walked out of the house, it was already sunset, and the whole courtyard was bathed in a layer of holy golden light, and the evening breeze was gentle.
Liang Ci pointed to the chair used for resting in the courtyard and said, "The weather is not cold or dry, can we just sit outside?" β
I looked around, the whole yard was bare, there was not even a pomegranate fish tank, there was really no interesting scenery, the only furnishings were a set of white marble inlaid gold tables and chairs under the shadow wall.
I nodded, calmly instructed the people below, took a thick cushion and spread it on my chair, and then began to serve the charcoal stove and vegetables one after another.
People came and went, and sure enough, they were all rough and clumsy guards, and there was not a single maid.
"Except for a few cooks and maids who are washing needlework in my house, they are all guards, so if you have anything, you can just tell Xia Chu and Mu Lin." Liang Ci seemed to see through my mind and explained.
I nodded and said softly, "The beginning of summer is very good." β
The pear wood charcoal in the charcoal stove has been lit, and the red flames are burning vigorously, so that the mutton on the copper frame squeaks and squeaks with oil.
Flip it skillfully and sprinkle the seasoning evenly on top.
The charcoal stove is also chic. The whole frame is cast in copper, but there is a layer of cloisonnΓ© enamel cloisonnΓ© porcelain on the outside, and there should be an interval in the middle, so the tentacles are not very hot. The bottom of the charcoal furnace is open with a damper, the size can be adjusted, and the charcoal is placed on the damper, which spontaneously combusts without wind, saving a lot of energy. It can be seen that Liang Ci did put thought into the design.
The lamb slices should be as thin as paper, and they can be eaten with dipping sauce when they are turned over. The small ingredient is Sichuan pepper sesame seeds, stir-fried and crushed, with a little refined salt added, just to neutralize the fishy taste of mutton.
I devoured my tongue and devoured it.
Liang Ci rolled up his sleeves, revealing a smooth and well-proportioned wrist, holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks more than a foot long and rummaging on the oven, calmly and elegantly.
I cautiously looked at Liang Ci's face, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What happened to Qingyin, why did Aunt Seven hate me so much and did not hesitate to put me to death?" β
Liang Ci's busy hand froze, lowered his eyes, and didn't look at me, and he really showed an unhappy look: "You haven't explained to me why you would date a man alone in a private room, especially a man with a bad heart." β
I didn't expect that he would ask about this first, as if he had caught his wife**. The secret of the Anle Waiting House is not known for a while.
Liang Ci raised his eyes to look at me and said coldly: "Don't try to lie to me, Crazy Stone is not a vegetarian, and it is not difficult to ask some information from that person's mouth." β
"Did you arrest Yan San?" I asked tentatively.
"What do you think I'm going to do? Will I allow him to get away with it? If it weren't for the strange thing in this matter, I would have taken his life a long time ago. β
I felt a little warm in my heart, feeling like a wronged and helpless child. Finally, a loved one stood in front of him, protected himself in his arms, and supported himself.
At the moment, he no longer concealed it, and told Liang Ci what happened at the banquet in the Hou Ye's Mansion yesterday.
Liang Ci angrily put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, gritted his teeth and looked at me: "Su Qingwen, I remember that I seem to have warned you more than once, don't be reckless in case of trouble, why don't you remember it in your mind."
That Qingwan is not close to you, there are a bunch of things in Anle Houfu, what does it have to do with you, you just have to move a stool, watch from the wall, and watch them fight to the death.
Look at you, for the sake of Qingjuan, people have calculated you and almost put your life on the line. If I hadn't happened to accompany the envoy in Juxian Tower today, and I heard your voice and went out to have a look, the consequences would be unimaginable!
......β
I knew that I was wrong, and I hung my head in silence, not daring to say anything more. I want to defend myself, in fact, I called Brother Lin to go with me, but Liang Ci and Brother Lin are always unpleasant, and when I mention it, I will inevitably be sarcastic and sarcastic.
I picked up the chopsticks knowingly, put the roasted mutton into the dipping plate in front of Liang Ci, and flattered a face: "Save your life, dissipate your anger, I know that I am wrong." β
"Wrong? Do you know that if you hadn't had a silver needle to protect yourself and escaped from the elegant compartment today, you would definitely end up in Qingyin, and life would be worse than death! β
"Huh?" I looked up in surprise: "What happened to Qingyin?" β
Liang Ci said in a deep voice: "She followed you to Juxian Tower today. β
"Oh, huh?! Could it be, could it be that she, she ...... "I stumbled, and the words that followed were unimaginable, and even more difficult to speak."
Liang Ci nodded: "Yes, as you think, and a hundred times worse than you think." "
Qingyin and I are not close, and I have even had a gap all along, but when I heard her bad news, I still couldn't help but sink in my heart, and asked in a panic, "How can this be?" That Yan San was hit by my silver needle, although it deviated from the acupuncture point, but the effect of the medicine was still there in a short period of time, Qingyin her, she could resist. β
Liang Ci nodded: "This is the strange thing about this matter, Qing Yin followed you to Juxian Building today, and the little second in the elegant room on the second floor accepted Yan San's benefits in advance, and did not let the idle people enter the elegant room to disturb them." Therefore, when Qingyin was looking for you, Xiao Er shirked and asked Qingyin out very unceremoniously.
Later, I don't know how Qing Yin learned that you were in that room, and took advantage of Xiao Er's unpreparedness to break in without permission, and the sheep fell into the tiger's mouth.
