Chapter Eighty-Six: Courtship
Before that. Ling Jun didn't know what method Uncle Nine used to pack tickets with him, saying that it was impossible for Liu to be light-hearted, and he and Bi Chengen were husband and wife.
Although he had convinced himself not to care about Liu Qingxin's past, there were some things that he could not have and was naturally more than what he wanted.
"Let's see you then."
After a moment of silence, Ling Jun slowly raised his head and looked at Uncle Nine who was standing beside the bed, his lips pursed slightly.
A woman from the Red Mansion.
Although, Uncle Nine found a woman from the Red Chamber to be a stand-in for his wife, which made him a little disliked......
That's it, that woman, after all, can be regarded as the person who fulfilled him and Liu Qingxin, why should he hold on to other people's past?
Who hasn't had to do it?
This woman, since she has been good and makes a living from clean business, is not, those women who are willing to fall are!
"That woman, can you be strict?"
In order to ensure safety, Ling Jun intends to hide Liu Qingxin's true identity as closely as possible.
If necessary, he doesn't even mind being an ungrateful person and putting out some "evil" in advance.
"She's a mute."
"When I was laughing in the Red Mansion, I was cut off by a rich young master."
Speaking of the woman who was regarded as Liu's light substitute, Uncle Nine sighed softly, "The mother of the Red Mansion didn't want to raise her anymore to eat white food, so she stripped her of her clothes and jewelry and kicked her out of the back door. ”
"When I went to the Red Mansion and paid the ransom to Panjin and Lanxi, I happened to see her who was frozen half to death."
"Thinking about it, there happened to be a missing sweeper girl in the Zhuangzi outside the city, so I sent her there to do things."
"I didn't expect that later, on the princess's side, there would be a lack of a stand-in, and she herself was willing, so she ......"
For the rest, Uncle Nine didn't say anything.
But according to Uncle Jiu's meaning, this woman should be a person who knows how to repay her kindness.
"You go to the girl."
"Ask her, if I avenge her, she is willing to stay in Zhuangzi forever to do things."
After listening carefully to the original story, Ling Jun pondered for a moment, and suddenly, gave Uncle Nine a new explanation.
He didn't want to let the people who might leak the news out of his control.
"If she doesn't want to, then ......"
After that, Ling Jun put a gesture on his neck to wipe his neck.
He is not a man of great evil, but he is not merciful when necessary.
"Yes, Third Master."
Uncle Nine knew that there were some things that he couldn't and shouldn't fight with Ling Jun.
Ling Jun has a long-term vision and the ability to distinguish danger far beyond them.
Especially now that they are in a seemingly bright situation, but in fact there is an undercurrent.
Victory, it is not easy, defeat, is a mortal situation, and there is no possibility of turning over!
……
In Deshui Xuan, there is no shortage of people who write well.
After the gluttony prepared the menu, everyone distributed a copy, and after a while, even the menu and invitations were prepared neatly.
"Third Master."
Gluttony brought rice porridge and a few refreshing side dishes, and knocked on Ling Jun's door.
Doctor Sun specially confessed that Ling Jun was given easy to digest food first, and later on, when he was more comfortable, and then he ate ordinary food.
didn't know that Lingjun had "other arrangements", and he planned to take advantage of Lingjun's wedding to show his hand.
Of course, it is necessary to show your hand and try the dishes.
"Come in."
Ling Jun had finished discussing with Uncle Nine and the others, and assigned them each something to do.
At this time, he was the only one left in the room, leaning on the cushion and reading.
It's his habit.
When he was alone, no matter how much leisure he had, he would turn a few pages of a book to read.
When his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaoke, was alive, she once taught him that opening the book was beneficial, and he always remembered this lesson and never dared to forget it.
"The third master will eat first, and after a while, there will be something on the side."
Put the food plate on the kang table, and even the kang table, "end" it to Ling Jun, the gluttony was not polite at all, kicked a stool from the side, and sat down for himself.
"Get down to business."
After raising his head and glancing at the gluttony, Ling Jun picked up the dishes and chopsticks and drank the porridge unhurriedly.
He understands gluttony, and knows that he is definitely not the kind of person who has nothing to do with him to chat.
At this time, this product personally came to bring him food, and sat down with a shy face, then it must be that there is something very important for this goods, and it needs to be discussed with him.
"There are three things."
Seeing that Ling Jun had seen that he had something to do, it was pointless to delay politely, so Tao Tao gently pursed his lower lip, and finally decided to put the most important one at the end.
"The third master instructed the ninth uncle, these days are closed, wait for the princess to come, that ...... Well, did we accept the fruits, vegetables, poultry and meat we ordered before, or did we return them? ”
glanced at Ling Jun cautiously, and saw that after he drank a sip of rice porridge, he wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and his heart suddenly became nervous.
He should, he didn't misplace the ingredients, right?
It's just a bowl of white porridge, except for rice, there's nothing left!
Looking at Ling Jun, I can't wait for the next moment, and the appearance of spitting out the rice porridge in my mouth, gluttony suddenly, I don't feel confident.
"It's unpalatable."
Ling Jun commented unceremoniously.
"Unpalatable?"
Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, and regardless of etiquette and humility, he snatched the spoon and porridge bowl from Ling Jun's hand, scooped a spoonful of rice porridge, and stuffed it into his mouth.
He's a guy who is almost obsessed with cooking.
Whoever mentions him gives him a thumbs up and praises him for the deliciousness of his cooking, and when has anyone ever heard a comment that what he makes is unpalatable!
The new rice that melts in the mouth is just right, and the aftertaste is fragrant and glutinous.
The rice soup is thick, but it does not feel sticky.
No problem!
It's no different from the rice porridge he usually cooks!
"Third master, this porridge ......"
Gluttony is almost certain that this is Ling Jun making fun of him.
However, looking at Ling Jun's expression, it doesn't seem to be like a ......
"No taste."
Ling Jun replied seriously, and then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few side dishes, and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Third master, isn't that how the joke is made?"
"Porridge, that's how it should taste!"
The gluttony felt the green tendons on his forehead bulge uncontrollably.
But in the face of Ling Jun, who gave him a "big opportunity", and it is very likely that he will give him another "big opportunity", he still suppressed his anger and patiently explained to him.
"No meat."
The environment in which you grow up at a young age will be destined for a person's lifelong preferences.
In the years when he lived in the Northwest Battalion, Ling Jun, who lived and ate with the soldiers, developed a complete "bad habit" of not being happy without meat.
Before, he would occasionally drink some gluttonous white porridge at breakfast, but it was only "occasionally".
"How can there be meat in the porridge!"
"The third master wants to drink soup?"
For the first time, Tao Tao felt that Ling Jun was such a difficult person to communicate.
It's as if he has really become an eight- or nine-year-old child, messing around, so that he doesn't know how to deal with it, "Dr. Sun said, you have to eat something light first, and then you can eat ordinary food later." ”
"I'll simmer the chicken soup for you, and I'll bring you lunch."
Xu felt that what he said was not clear enough, or not enough to convince Ling Jun, Tao Tao twisted his eyebrows slightly, and used his usual tone to coax Qinglan to eat, and added to Ling Jun, "I'll go and serve you a new bowl, don't mess around anymore." ”
The gluttony spoke with an embarrassed tone, and dragged Ling Jun, who was a little distracted before, back completely.
He blinked, puzzled at the glutton, who was sitting across from him.
"I'm serious, gluttony, I want to eat that kind of rice porridge with meat in it, with a bit of saltiness, the meat is very soft and tender, not greasy."
"This porridge has no taste at all, and it is very unpalatable."
Ling Jun's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing the gluttonous heart.
Bad.
The porridge he made was unpalatable.
That's great!
Finally, someone finally said that what he made was unpalatable!
That's right!
It must be right!
As the old Tao said, all his great opportunities are accompanied by being disliked!
Here's his chance!
The great opportunity he had been thinking about for a long time, finally, is finally coming!
"You...... Are you alright? ”
Seeing that the gluttony was annoyed and depressed for a while, and ecstatic for a while, Ling Jun was a little ignorant and tightened his brows.
He vaguely remembered that a long time ago, this guy had also gone crazy like this.
Be...... Why?
"It's okay!"
"Okay!"
"Third master, you say, you go on!"
Gluttony has always been an unruly guy.
Usually, when talking to Lingjun, I never use honorifics.
Ling Jun knew that he was just a big leaf, not just to himself, so he never cared about him.
But now...... When he was talking to him, he suddenly said the title "you", but Ling Jun instinctively felt uncomfortable!
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Gluttonous this goods, eighty percent of them are going to ask him again!
"When the princess comes, let her teach you to make some food."
Ling Jun hesitated slightly, seeing that the gluttony was just staring at him, and he really didn't mean to plead with himself, so he swallowed lightly, and before he could finish speaking, he was blocked by the glutton's strange expression.
"I really can't swallow this porridge."
"You'd better just bring me the usual food."
Ling Jun clearly saw that the smile bloomed on the gluttonous face at an extremely slow and slow speed.
Then, his stomach suddenly let out a "grunt" in protest.
"Alas!"
"Good!"
"I'll go!"
At a speed he had never shown before, he jumped up from the stool, snatched the plate from the kang table, and then, like a rabbit, galloped away.
……
When he appeared in front of Ling Jun again, he held a plate the size of half a table.
On the dinner plate, large and small plates, densely pressed to fill almost all the gaps on the plate.
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, snacks, fruits and vegetables, you can say that you can say that you can say everything.
Seventy-two signature dishes.
How many diners dream of it, but only at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, can they expect to taste a few of these delicacies.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Today, what kind of disease is this thing committing?
Ling Jun was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
I just waited quietly for the gluttony to put the huge food plate, carefully found a good balance on the kang table, and then unhurriedly, picked up the dishes and chopsticks placed on the foot of the food plate.
Eat.
"That...... Third Master ......"
After waiting for Ling Jun to speak, the gluttony finally couldn't hold it back.
"Yes, you say."
Ling Jun eats very well, even in the face of so many delicacies, he does not seem to be impatient.
"Well, just now, I told you, there are three things......"
After hesitating for a long time, Gluttony still felt that he should keep some subtleties after all, so he "brought up the old things again", and first moved the things that he wanted to inquire about with Ling Jun before, so as to pave the way for his real demands.
"They are all ordinary people, and life is not easy."
"There's no need to mess up their livelihood for such a small expense."
Ling Jun said as he picked up a piece of roast lamb chops, and his eyes wandered around the plate twice, but he didn't find the dipping sauce he was looking for.
Oh, my mouth is really being raised lightly!
Sighing in his heart, Ling Jun frowned slightly, and put the roast lamb chops into his mouth.
The lamb chops are well grilled, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
But......
Sure enough, he still liked it, wrapping the lamb chops, and she made the dipping sauce herself.
Although, she always laughed at him and made the dipping sauce the main course.
Yanjing is so cold!
Swallowing the roast lamb chops, Ling Jun unconsciously put down his chopsticks and rubbed his hands.
Inside, three braziers were lit.
But Rao is like this, and he still feels that the cool air is penetrating the quilt wrapped around him, enveloping his whole person.
In the past, why didn't he find out that Yanjing was such a cold place......
If she is here, she will definitely stuff him with a bunch of soup in the bed, and then, holding a cup of warm soup in her hand, she will feed him with a smile!
Thinking of Liu Qingxin, the corners of Ling Jun's lips unconsciously rose.
But soon, this smile disappeared into the deep eyes.
"Everybody's been busy for a year, too."
"Let's take advantage of the New Year's Festival to eat better."
Ling Jun took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks, and continued to eat, the dishes specially prepared for him by gluttony.
"Besides, in a few days, the light will come, it's not good, there are still guests who need to be treated."
"Although, your craftsmanship is a little rudimentary."
"But she's always been a generous person, and she shouldn't dislike you too much."
Ask for disgust.
Ask for advice.
Beg to be scolded.
At this time, the gluttony only felt like he was going to float happily.
He guessed right.
The third master of his family, the princess who has not passed the door, is a person with superb cooking skills, ten out of ten, is the one, the one who can give him a second "big chance"!
"What else?"
Looking up, glancing at the ecstatic gluttony, Ling Jun sighed lightly, and turned his gaze back to the dishes on the plate.
Gluttony is just a madman, not a ......
cough, his lady, he should be able to clean it up!
"That, that is, that's it, third master."
"The menu has been prepared and copied, and Uncle Nine is making people tidy up."
"Look, am I waiting for the princess to come, first make these, these dishes to be made at the wedding banquet, and let her taste them?"
With Ling Jun's acquiescence, the gluttonous mood can almost be described as excited.
He smiled, dragged the stool, and rubbed Ling Jun closer, inch by inch, and "suggested" to him.
