Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Bad Feast
It seems that the departure of Princess Roujia did not have any effect on this meal. Yun Qi was still lazily leaning back in his chair, as if he was taking a nap. Wang Lan and Hua Xiyan bit their ears softly. Wang Qi behaved elegantly and slowly savored the fine food of Yue Binzhai. Wang Jin is still guarding a plate of telecommunications and eating happily, but although the speed is fast, the action is not panicked, you are not busy, and you have not lost everyone's demeanor.
At this time, a maid came up with a blue and white chrysanthemum plate. The plate was two feet in diameter, and was covered with an orange-yellow gilt beaded plate, and there was a faint sound of ziz, as if it were frying something.
Another maid lit a small brass rack and placed the plate on it, making it louder as the temperature spread.
The maid uncovered the cover, and in an instant she heard a deafening scream from Wen Mei next to her.
Wen Mei hugged Wen Hai's arm, trembling, and there seemed to be a whimper between her lips. Looking at her face from the side, the bright red rouge couldn't hide her pale face. Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes fluttering violently, and her pale lips were trembling, clearly frightened.
In an instant, Wang Qi's hand blocked in front of Hua Xiyan, but it didn't stop her from being shocked, and then she was straight and stiff.
She saw the dish.
On the plate, there are bracken roots and herbs neatly arranged, like a dense jungle, and on the other side, a few lettuce shoots are arranged in the shape of a distant mountain, forming a picture of flat mountains and autumn fields in the huge plate.
And in the middle of the jungle, there was a snake.
Not a patchwork of things, but a literal snake - even grinning and spitting red letters at them.
The sound of Zizi that kept coming out was the sound of snake meat being fried. The serpent did not roll, did not struggle, but coiled and spat out at them, as if the flesh had been fried raw, and was not on it.
Hua Xiyan suddenly felt nauseous, and his face was a little ugly. She turned her head and crashed into Wen Hai's smiling eyes full of disdain. The smile on his face was like that of the snake, making her feel sticky and disgusting.
Wen Mei's violent trembling under the uneasiness made a crisp sound under the collision of the pearl tassels on her head, and the sound of the snake meat being fried was extremely terrifying.
"The taste of this krait snake is the most delicious, Miss Wang Er must not have eaten it." Wen Hai said, stretched out his chopsticks to pick a piece of meat from the snake's tail, and put it in the Huaxi cigarette saucer.
The snake that was missing a piece of flesh was still shaking its neck, as if waiting to see how Hua Xiyan ate his own flesh.
Wang Qi glanced at Wen Hai warningly, and the next moment he simply threw Hua Xiyan's plate with the piece of snake meat.
Wang Jin immediately put the tea in his hand into Haohuaxiyan's hand.
"Second Prince Wen's dish is really not something that ordinary people can use!" Yun Qi looked at Hua Xiyan's face that turned a little whiter, his phoenix eyes froze, the breeze hit between the wide sleeves stretched, the snake fell softly and stopped moving, and the disc cover instantly covered the blue and white plate, and at the same time covered Naziz's heart-wrenching voice.
"But when this snake is roasted raw, the meat is the most delicious." Wen Hai lifted the lid, took out a piece of bright red snake meat, tasted it carefully, and said slowly, "Especially this krait, it is the most rare." It has always grown deep in the mountains, and it is extremely difficult to find. But it itself is looking for death, and it has to leave the mountains and swim on the edge of Taiyuan, which is what I get, and under the cooking, I gave my life in vain. ”
Wen Hai said, his words were full of emotion, and he turned his head to look at Hua Xiyan, and the deep meaning between his words was self-evident.
"Second Miss Wang, do you think that's the truth?"
Hua Xiyan held the porcelain cup in his hand tightly, and obviously felt a sticky and wet sweat in his palm. Wen Hai's perverted taste is really outrageous!
"Snake meat is delicious, but it is dangerous, and if one accidentally hurts it, it will be more than worth the loss." Hua Xiyan tried to suppress the desire to retch, and answered Wen Hai's words.
"That's not true." Wen Hai shook his head disapprovingly, and said meaningfully, "Since it hit me, I naturally have half a point to restrain it, so that it can never hurt people and never turn over!" ”
This is extremely arrogant. Hua Xiyan knew that this person had officially declared war with him.
The previous conflict outside the city, as well as the golden knife incident just now, offended Princess Roujia, and he was going to confront him head-on after all.
"Then I wish the second son of Wen can enjoy this fresh snake meat in his lifetime, and never miss!" Hua Xiyan raised his eyebrows and replied to Wen Hai's words in a light tone.
She smiled unwantonly or unassumingly, and even a little soft and pleasant, but Wen Hai could see the fearlessness and persistence in her eyes, like the restlessness of the silent spring water and the silent seal under the ice river in winter, desperately trying to break the shackles of the ice gushing out.
Wen Hai laughed twice, and the gloomy look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a touch of interest. He suddenly turned his head, looked at the servant girl serving on the side, and said, "Change some contemplative incense, don't you see that Miss Wang Er is frightened?" ”
The maid hurriedly responded, and after a while, the aroma in the room changed from jasmine paste to green turnip, and the slightest fragrance was refreshing, soothing the heart, and gradually suppressed the discomfort in Huaxi Yan's heart.
"Have a great meal! Have a good taste of my Yue Binzhai dishes! Wen Hai suddenly changed into an extremely enthusiastic look, like a host, and introduced the dishes on the table with great enthusiasm.
Hua Xiyan was indeed a little hungry, and after seeing a plate of plain sweet and bitter hemp, the ghost envoy stretched out his chopsticks and walked towards the plate.
There was a slight sound, and two pairs of chopsticks collided in midair. Hua Xiyan looked upwards along the white ivory chopstick, jade white hands, and white snow sleeves, and met Yun Qi's infinite phoenix eyes.
There was a sudden tingling of the fingertips, and Hua Xiyan almost couldn't hold the chopsticks in his hand, so he involuntarily took them back.
And Yun Qi picked up a dish, put it in his mouth, and tasted it elegantly.
Everyone at the table was eating elegantly, and even Wen Hai and Wang Qi and Wang Jin had a faint conversation. If you remove the-for-tat in the words, it is really a sign of harmony, as if nothing unpleasant happened just now.
And after Hua Xiyan's jade chopsticks and Yun Qi's ivory chopsticks "met unexpectedly" a few times, she no longer had the heart to move those dishes.
Hua Xiyan had been eating silently, and when she saw some red things on a plate not far away, she stared at it carefully, it was Hongshan.
Wang Lan followed Hua Xiyan's eyes and knew what she was staring at, so she thoughtfully sandwiched a piece and put it in her bowl.
"It is said that Hongshan can beautify and nourish the body, which is very good for women." Hua Xiyan whispered to Wang Lan.
"How come I've never heard of it?" Wang Lan frowned.
Hua Xiyan chuckled and said: "Hongshan is a seafood, which is naturally rare in Taiyuan, but this effect is really strong, and after eating, the skin can become very good." ”
Wang Lan turned her head to look, and really saw Huaxi's smoke and skin, so close, she couldn't see any flaws on her face, as if it was carved from a piece of fine jade, and it was made of ingenious skills.
Looking at it like this, I couldn't help but believe Hua Xiyan's words a little.
Hua Xiyan pulled a soft smile on his lower lips and ate quietly.
Wen Mei finally recovered from the fear of the snake just now, and ate the food tremblingly, but every time she saw a plate of green vegetables, she thought of the decoration placed next to the snake just now, and couldn't help but feel sick again.
"Ah, what's wrong with Miss Wen's face?" Wang Lan suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Wen Mei touched her face, a little unclear.
When she had just eaten, she felt a little itchy, so she scratched it gently, and that's it.
"How do you ......" Wang Lan said two words, and then turned her head in disgust, as if she had seen something dirty.
Wen Meide didn't know why there were a lot of red rashes on her face, densely spread all over her face, revealing from under the heavy fat powder, and her face, which had been a little colorful, became uneven. And she was still scratching unconsciously.
Wen Hai immediately pressed her down, looking at her growing rash, his brows furrowed.
Wen Mei also felt that it was not normal, she broke free from Wen Hai's clamp and touched her face, feeling a pothole under the Dao hand, and immediately her eyes widened with horror.
A piece of pastry suddenly flew next to her, which just entered Wen Mei's mouth, blocking her cloud-breaking screams that were about to overflow.
Yun Qi leaned back in his chair, seemingly unaware of everything in front of him, but it was obvious that the pastry was coming from his direction.
Wen Mei just touched her face with frightened eyes, and she didn't even have time to take out the pastries that were blocked in her mouth. She just groped like that, feeling her hands change from the initial unevenness to swelling, from itching to pain, and her heart was terrified, and suddenly her heart twisted, and she fainted.
Wen Hai stretched out his hand to wrap his sister's body, and his eyes were cold.
"Sister Ling's condition is not very good, it is better for Second Prince Wen to ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible!" Wang Qi said lightly.
"A woman's face can't be delayed, if there is any regret in the future, it will be a lifetime of regret!" Wang Lan also nodded, and gave advice very seriously.
Hua Xiyan didn't speak, just looked at Wen Hai and smiled softly. That smile was no different from her usual smile, the same graceful and natural, the same glamorous, but Wen Hai saw it now, but it was so dazzling.
I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with this woman, Wen Hai thought. But it's just speculation, there's no evidence. Looking at Wen Mei, whose situation was getting more and more serious, Wen Hai immediately decided: "Everyone, please take your leave!" ”
With that, he strode out with Wen Mei in his arms.
The people present naturally didn't believe why Wen Mei was so good why that situation suddenly happened, and they all turned their heads to Hua Xiyan with a soft smile on her face for a while. But she just raised her eyebrows, and four words were written on her face—
It has nothing to do with me.
