What's wrong with this, sir, why do you suddenly want to eat candied fruit? ”

After she finished asking with an innocent face, she heard her daughter who asked her father and mother to say goodbye: "Mother must be disgusted with her father for drinking again, so she accidentally added a yellow lotus heart to the sobering soup with a shake of her hand......"

Mrs. Qian raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't you let it go?" This person can't beat, scold, and I can't use Coptis to make him sober up. ”

At this moment, Qian County's desire for candied fruit was instantly extinguished. However, looking at his wife's appearance, he thought about it again and thought that he would have to rest well tonight, so he hurriedly whispered something in his wife's ear, just begging to turn the page on this matter quickly.

Mrs. Qian was coaxed by him to lose her temper, so she could only throw him a roll of her eyes, and then let someone bring the sobering soup given by Xiao Qinglang.

"Okay, you can't hide from the sobering soup sent by the prince...... As for what it tastes like, the concubine doesn't know. After speaking, she stuffed the sobering soup into Qian County's hand.

Naturally, she didn't worry about any poison in that decoction, presumably, at most, it would be just like her to add some bitter medicine.

Just after being tossed by a bowl of bitter sobering soup, Qian Xianling couldn't help but feel stunned when he took another bowl.

But thinking that the person who delivered the soup was still waiting outside, he could only grit his teeth and close his eyes, and drank it like a strong man going to die.

The expected bitterness did not come, but the mouth was full of sweetness, which just diluted the bitterness in the previous mouth.

He snorted, slapped his mouth twice, and sure enough, he felt refreshed.

"The prince is really benevolent, and he didn't care about my previous gaffe, but I lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I was worried for a long time."

This Qian County Commander admired Xiao Qinglang more and more, and Xiao Qinglang, who was worried about him on the other side, was sitting on a small bench to help Xu Chutao wash fragrant rice and lotus seeds.

He has always been noble and elegant, and he put the lotus seeds away at this time. A pair of hands that review the unjust prisons in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not seem to be inconsistent in doing these small things, but they are pleasing to the eye.

It wasn't until he finished fiddling with it that he got up and handed Xu Chu a pair of objects, seeing her put them into the boiling pot.

And Xu Chu washed the fresh white fungus, and picked some wolfberries and put them in the pot.

The heat in the pot blurred Xu Chu's face and obscured his vision. But at this time, he felt extremely peaceful in his heart, and even gave him the illusion that his husband and wife were singing with the years.

"The prince is a little different from Lord Qian, it's the first time I've seen the prince care so much about others, and even personally ordered someone to send the sobering soup." Xu Chu stirred the white fungus porridge in the pot while chatting casually, "Presumably Lord Qian will be even more grateful to the prince." ”

Although she didn't know the twists and turns, she also guessed that this was probably the art of the master, with both grace and power, and rewards and punishments for serious illness.

When Xiao Qinglang heard this, he smiled meaningfully, "He should indeed be grateful to me." ”

As far as he knew, Mrs. Qian would always put something extra in his meals whenever she had a temper tantrum with Qian County. A few days ago, Mrs. Qian happened to buy some lotus seed hearts and soaked them in water to clear the fire......

Xu Chu didn't look back, so naturally he didn't see his expression. She thanked him and exchanged a few more words of gossip with him.

"Wash a carrot for me." Xu Chu took a breath of heat, stirred the soup in the pot, and saw that it was starting to thicken, so he extinguished some of the fire in the stove. Simmer slowly like this, and in a quarter of an hour, the glue will be released.

Seeing that Xiao Qinglang found the carrots and came out, she began to pick up the remaining fungus and coriander for the cook's dinner. When she was at home, every summer and autumn, she would always find dead wood after the rain, pick some fungus and mushrooms to dry, and when the green and yellow were not harvested, she would make some side dishes to improve her life.

Now that she thinks about it, she hasn't done it in a long time. The last time I cooked with great fanfare and enthusiasm, it seems to be the time of the New Year?

The days seem to be back at home, and every time she has nothing to do, she will always spin around on the pot. In addition to cleaning up, it is to think of the Dharma to make some rare food. Even if it is a wild vegetable, it can turn over many tricks.

And at that time, if Daddy came back early, he would also smile and give her a hand. Or will sit in the yard and sigh with emotion......

Xu Chu's movements gradually slowed down, and his eyes looked at the coriander on the board in a daze, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. In fact, she doesn't know whether her current life is lucky or unlucky. The father who depended on each other did not know where to go, and even deliberately avoided himself. And the peaceful days that he had never worried about were completely irreversible with an assassination.

But if it is unfortunate, it made her get acquainted with Xiao Qinglang because of this incident, and tasted the joy of heart palpitations.

Xiao Qinglang got up, and was about to say something, when he saw Xu Chu stunned and didn't move. He sighed inwardly and walked over to take the kitchen knife from her hand.

"Don't think too much about it, it's not to the point where it makes people sad." Xiao Qinglang's words are concise and to the point, but they are full of comfort.

Xu Chu came back to his senses and saw that he had already put on a posture of chopping vegetables, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect the prince to be so virtuous." ”

Xiao Qinglang quickly cut the carrot into thin strips, and said disapprerovitically: "There are still many places where I am virtuous, and Xiao Chu can slowly discover it in the future." ”

As soon as these words fell, Xu Chu suddenly remembered the gluttonous meal he had cooked. She especially remembered that there were sauerkraut fish and spicy fresh on the table at that time, but it whetted her appetite. It's a pity that the sudden autopsy made her unable to eat those dishes with all the color and flavor in her mouth.

Just when she was stunned, Xiao Qinglang turned the shredded carrot into a plate, and then looked at Xu Chu and said, "What are you going to do next?" Gift? ”

Xu Chu shook his head and said, "It's hot, and I can't eat much of the stir-fry." I'll make a side dish today. ”

Xiao Qinglang coughed dryly and hesitated: "I...... I hadn't learned cold dishes before. ”

You know, when he was cooking, the weather wasn't as hot as it is now. Therefore, what I learned from the chef is mostly hot dishes to dispel dampness. Now, even if it sounds simple, it's a bit difficult for him.

Xu Chu pursed his lips and smiled: "What should I do if I suddenly feel that the prince is getting more and more cute?" ”

In her previous life, she happened to hear that a little girl who was chasing idol dramas would sigh that a certain Obasang was so cute. At that time, she didn't quite understand that kind of adjective, after all, it seemed very inappropriate to add cuteness to a male protagonist with a domineering president.

But now, she suddenly felt that she had some understanding. Just like Xiao Qinglang, she can't say whether she is arrogant or how, but it can make her heart soften with joy.

She squinted at Xiao Qinglang, and it wasn't until his eyes flickered a little that she happily got up the stove again.

Boil shredded carrots and black fungus under boiling water, then remove them and put them in a basin of cold water. After a while, it is placed on a plate, and then the sauce is simply mixed with sugar, salt, vinegar and soy sauce.

In fact, if you can pour hot oil on the dried chili peppers, the taste will be even more delicious. But now it's night, and considering Xiao Qinglang's light taste, she just mixed the coriander into it in the end.

After everything is done, the white fungus lotus seed porridge boiling in the pot is already thick and sweet.

Xu Chu was satisfied with the dishes and chopsticks on the side of the stove and divided the lotus seed porridge. The softness of lotus seeds, the thickness of white fungus, and the sweetness of wolfberries are mixed together, although they are hot, but they also make people have a great appetite.

She raised her eyebrows proudly, and dug a lotus seed with a small spoon for Xiao Qinglang to taste.

"How?"

Xiao Qinglang smiled in his eyes, tasted the fragrant and glutinous lotus seeds, and exclaimed: "It's delicious." ”

When Xu Chu heard this, his heart became more and more happy. But she didn't know that Xiao Qinglang's sentence was really a pun. The food she cooks tastes good, but the days with her are even better.

She brought the side dishes to the table and brought two bowls of lotus seed porridge over. Then he went out and said to Wei Guang: "Brother Wei, I cooked lotus seed porridge with the prince, you can taste it with the guards on duty." There are also some in the pot, waiting for the next shift of guards to rest, and then come to eat. ”

As early as when she served porridge, Xiao Qinglang knew that there was probably Wei Guang and others. But thinking of her sentence "I and the prince", his heart was full of stickiness, and it was difficult to give birth to a sour meaning.

In fact, he doesn't want much, as long as she divides herself into her life, her heart, her territory.

Wei Guang quietly glanced at the prince who was already sitting in the kitchen, and saw that his face changed slightly, so he was relieved. He was really scared of the prince, and it was a loss that he and Xu Chu didn't have any other thoughts, otherwise he was afraid that it would be even worse at this time.

At this time, Wei Guang went out with lotus seed porridge and beckoned the guards on duty to come. And at that time, Wei Yan and the others, who had been hiding their traces, couldn't help but complain. Look at the food of Wei Guang and his entourage, they are so happy, and they don't know how to leave some for them......

However, although several people muttered in their hearts, they still did not reveal it.

As for the prince who was dressed in a brocade robe, how could he deign to eat at the small table in the kitchen, it seemed that it was not an uncommon thing for a long time. After all, they have all seen the prince wash his hands and make soup with their own eyes, could it be that there will be other things that can make people fall off their eyes even more?

Today's Xiao Qinglang seems to have taken off his body of conduit and dignity, but only the warmth between him and Xu Chu remains.

In the kitchen, although there is a lot of heat, it is thanks to the open space and the night breeze pours in through the door window. Coupled with the glimmer of the lanterns swaying outside, and the moonlight babbling like water, it makes people feel comfortable.

The shadows of the trees are shallow, skimming over the window lattice steps, leaving mottled marks in the moonlight. After having supper, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu went back to their rooms.

In fact, how did Xu Chu not know what Xiao Qinglang had done for her, he would be happy because of her, and he would bother because of her. It's like tonight's supper, if it wasn't for Xiao Qinglang's arrangement, and the guards arranged the relatives of the officials who stayed in the post station, how could they not show up all night, and never asked for a basin of hot water and hot tea all night?

She didn't know what he had done, but she couldn't refuse his arrangement.

Among the people, probably only Wei Guang knew how much money the prince, who was known for his thrifty life and was not extravagant and even an ascetic, spent much money tonight. or that they should be given a place to live, or that they should be rewarded with silver and gold......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the prince who was still sitting on the desk to review the official documents, and said in his heart that this matter was really troublesome. He will be able to live alone in the future, and he will be so tired every day for the sake of a woman's mind.
