Xu Chu has not visited the courtyard where the plaque of the Zhou Mansion is hung here, especially because of the repeated incidents, so that she has not walked to the kitchen. Therefore, I am not familiar with the road.

But she looked at Xiao Qinglang's familiar appearance, as if she had been here before.

"Childe is quite familiar with the way to the kitchen, haven't you been here?"

Xiao Qinglang gathered his wide-sleeved shirt, his eyes fluttered a little uncomfortably, and then pretended to be disappreciative and said: "The drawings on the house are on the desk in the study, could it be that Xiao Chu didn't see it?" ”

This rhetorical question made Xu Chu stunned for a moment, and she recalled a little, as if she had seen some drawings. However, she really didn't see that it was the layout of the Zhou Mansion. She always thought that it should be the distribution map of the places secretly operated by the officials of Jinzhou City.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived in the kitchen.

There were only two cooks in the kitchen, and the guards who had just brought fresh dishes and meat were waiting.

"Alright, you all go down first." Xiao Qinglang commanded in a shallow voice, although there was no explanation, but the two cooks and the guards bowed respectfully and retreated.

It can be seen that in addition to the guards, the two cooks are also people who know Xiao Qinglang's taboos. It should be the person who was re-selected after the incident with Rui Niang.

Xiao Qinglang lifted his cuffs slightly, found a wooden basin and washed his fingers. Then, I took the eggs at random and knocked them out in the bowl one by one, looking at the posture was very skillful.

"Xiao Chu help me chop some chopped green onions and minced ginger." Xiao Qinglang stirred the eggs and put them aside, and then selected a piece of fine tenderloin and cut it into thin slices. "Although it is better to eat lightly at night, there are vegetables and meat, and there is interest. If you don't make it richer, you really can't live this beautiful scenery. ”

"So what is this going to do?" Xu Chu gathered the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic on the board into a small plate, and looked at the plate in front of Xiao Qinglang. Look, there are all kinds of things, as if there are some marinated fish slices?

Xiao Qinglang raised his eyebrows and replied: "Bashu Mao is bloody, sour soup fish and tofu crucian carp soup......"

After saying this, he didn't care about the reaction of Xu Chu, who was sluggish for a while, and went straight to the fire to burn the hot oil. When the oil temperature is getting hotter, he puts in the green onion, ginger and garlic, and it is fragrant instantly.

Almost without waiting for Xu Chu to come forward to help, his sauerkraut had already stir-fried its fragrance, and the fish was also slice into the sour soup.

The fish is tender and delicious, and it is well cooked, and if the heat is a little bigger, the meat will lose its deliciousness. But if the heat is not enough, there will be more fishy smell, so it is very difficult to do. Xiao Qinglang grasped the timing just right, and after rolling for a while, he fished it out and put it in the porcelain basin.

"Is that all right?" Xu Chu was stunned and looked at the faint whiteness of the yellow-green sauerkraut soup in the white porcelain basin, and took a deep breath. What should I do, I didn't eat well at the Hongmen banquet at noon, and then it was an autopsy and a case, and I was already hungry.

Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but feel funny when he saw her expression in his eyes. He saw that she never cared about food before, but when she was not interested in food, he didn't expect that she would show this expression in her spare time.

"Wait until you pour a layer of hot oil on it, and it will taste even better." As he spoke, he had already poured the pickled pepper powder into the hot oil in his hand, and he heard a stinging sound, and the spicy heat came up.

The fragrance of the sour soup fish overflowed and spread, causing Xu Chu's stomach to protest again. However, when she looked at Xiao Qinglang's noble posture, but she was still gently frying the chili oil used to serve with Bashu Mao Xuewang, she still smiled: "Although I like spicy, but you have always eaten it lightly, I am afraid that only tofu and fish soup can swallow some of these dishes tonight." ”

As she spoke, she got up neatly and searched for the rice, washed it, and then put it in the pot and steamed it. At this time, she was really glad that Xiao Qinglang was not short of money, and even the stove in the kitchen was much more than that in her and her father's house, otherwise she would not be able to vacate the space.

When the rice was in the pot, she washed the cabbage and celery, and then cut a piece of tender white tofu to make an egg soup later.

I have to say that the guards who followed Xiao Qinglang's side must have bought vegetables for the first time. So much so that a full basket of every dish was bought, and if it was all done, I was afraid that the guards and secret guards in the whole house would have to eat it for two days.

Speaking of the guards coming, Xu Chu reacted, now that they occupy the kitchen, there is nowhere to cook with the cook. Thinking like this, she looked back at Xiao Qinglang and asked, "Do you want to make more and let Brother Wei and the others eat together?" ”

Xiao Qinglang's hand paused, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have already asked Wei Guang to go to the gluttonous building to buy a banquet, I think they should not be too rare for you and me." ”

In this way, Xu Chu will no longer ask questions, he can rest his thoughts, and it will be easy to save trouble.

Speaking of which, Xu Chu is really good at making some light meals. It's not that there is any talent, but in the past ten years, the life with my father was too poor, so that there were very few seasonings and meat at home. At that time, she always wanted to make cheap dishes such as simple green vegetables and tofu delicious, so that the father and daughter had some appetite.

Just like now, it is obviously a simple cabbage, but with her stir-frying and fragrant, not only did it not collapse into a ball, but it was a little more verdant and tender visual enjoyment.

She was pleased to put it on a plate, then sautéed the minced meat and rubbed it on the verdant celery segments.

The tacit understanding between the two is not like the prince and the servant, but like an ordinary couple who have lived together for many years. It's like after a busy day, the two help each other, cooking each other's best and favorite dishes for each other in the kitchen.

After a few dishes were out of the pot, Xiao Qinglang smiled and took Xu Chu to wash his hands. When Xu was burning the fire before, some dust was stained on Xu Chu's forehead, which caused Xiao Qinglang to chuckle again.

Xiao Qinglang wrung out the cloth towel and lowered his eyes to wipe it for her, while Xu Chu looked up at him with a slightly red face, with an indescribable ambiguity......

Xu Chu only felt that the whole person was unreal, as if there was nothing around him, and only those eyes full of affection remained. She was flustered, but she didn't reject this feeling.

She knew that Xiao Qinglang was not Meng Lang's person, but she couldn't help but think of the uncontrollable kiss in the carriage before. Almost instantly, her cheeks turned red, and her expression was a little coquettish and shy.

Even if her temperament is different from that of ordinary ladies, in the face of the person who shares her heart, she will inevitably have some breath that she has never had.

The sky gradually became hazy, and the fire shrouded the two of them, quiet and warm.

I don't know who moved first, it seems to be Xiao Qinglang who is indulging in those clear and bright eyes, and it seems to be Xu Chu who was suddenly provoked by his heart.

But just when the two of them were almost about to breathe and intertwin, they saw Wei Guang hurrying over with a solemn expression.

As soon as his feet stepped into the threshold of the kitchen, he suddenly stopped, and then his whole body was a little bad.

Xu Chu was the first to come back to his senses, stretched out his hand to push away Xiao Qinglang, who was close at hand, and coughed embarrassedly and said, "I'll go and see the rice first, it should be ready to cook." ”

Xiao Qinglang was interrupted here, and he was already furious in his heart. It's true, I finally sent away the pearl that often broke my own good deeds, why was Wei Guang so reckless?

"What's the matter?"

The expression on his face remained unchanged, but the cold tone made Wei Guang subconsciously stand up straight.

"Back to ...... Back to the prince...... Lord Xu just sent someone to say that the fake Liu asked Mo and Song Derong to hang themselves. Wei Guang wanted to cry without tears, he really didn't want to interrupt the prince and Miss Xu. But really, the death of the fake Song Derong was very important, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment.

He comforted himself in his heart and said: Didn't the prince order it before, but if there is any trouble in the prison, he must return immediately. He can be regarded as acting according to the prince's orders, so the prince should not give him any more training......

If Wei Yan was in front of him, he was afraid that he would roll his eyes and poke him with a knife. Jokes, disgruntled men, that doesn't make sense.

Now the prince may not be able to open his hands, but with the prince's 10,000 years of not opening his mind, as soon as he opens his mind, he has the strength to grow old with others. It's strange to accidentally keep these things in mind.

Xiao Qinglang's expression suddenly became serious, and Xu Chu couldn't care about being ashamed, so he turned around and frowned directly and asked, "Have you been saved?" ”

Wei Guang shook his head, "I said that I was out of breath on the spot, and now Lord Xu has already gone with Li Yanzuo first." The subordinates don't know the specific situation. ”

The warmth in the kitchen dissipated in an instant, turning into a little more chill.

It is impossible for the fake Song Derong to hang himself at this time, this is an undoubted thing. But there are so many people in the prison, there are cell bosses, and there are soldiers sent by Xiao Qinglang to temporarily guard the prison, why did he lose his life?

"Let's go check it out." Xiao Qinglang immediately asked people to prepare horses, looked back at Xu Chu and said, "If the matter is urgent, I will go over first, and then someone will prepare a carriage to send you there." ”

Although there were fewer people on the streets at this time, horse-drawn carriages were not as convenient and fast as horses.

Xu Chu shook his head and moved closely behind him and Wei Guang, "There is no need to prepare another carriage, I will go with you." ”

Xiao Qinglang frowned slightly, wanting to stop it, but seeing the solemn look on her face, all the persuasion was swallowed. He raised his head and instructed Wei Guangdao: "By the way, let someone prepare the horses that Mingzhu selected for Xiao Chu." ”

The horses galloped all the way to the suburban prison, the sound of the howling wind and the sound of horses' hooves in their ears.

The wind blew the hair, hitting the face painfully, and the tender flesh between the legs was rubbed in extreme pain. But Xu Chu didn't dare to show a trace of abnormality, so he could only grit his teeth and hold the reins, followed closely by Xiao Qinglang and Wei Guang.
