Chu Xia finally let people eat, he was already eating, and when he heard Zhuang Rou coming, he temporarily ran to the study and waited for her.

Originally, he planned to clean her up before going to dinner, but now that she was confidently asking for dinner, he planned to eat first.

Zhuang Rou took the chopsticks and looked at the plate of dishes on the table, her expression was a little stunned.

"If you can name the dish, you can eat that plate, and if you can't say it, you can watch me eat it." With a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, Chu Xia looked at her and said.

The dishes on the table are very beautiful, and the life of Zhuang Rou's family is not bad, but the dishes on the table look like they have never even been seen in the big restaurants in Beijing.

She looked at the dish in front of her that looked like pearls falling into a pink lotus, and after a long silence, she said, "Steamed white radish with meat jelly." ”

The expression on Chu Xia's face was a little ugly, "That's not right. ”

"This pearl isn't meat jelly? The lotus must be a white radish. Zhuang Rou pointed to the dish and said.

"Hmph, this is called Zhurun Lotus Terrace. What kind of white radish, I'll just say where have you eaten this kind of dish, just watch me eat it. Chu Xia said with a slight smile.

Zhuang Rou's chopsticks stretched out, picked up a lotus flower and put it directly in his mouth, and said while eating: "Liar, I'll taste it, how can it not be a white radish." ”

She chewed a few times, her eyes widened in surprise and said, "It's delicious, it's really not a white radish!" It's like meat, but what kind of meat is it? It's so delicious, it's only in heaven! ”

Chu Xia looked at her fuss, raised her head and smiled: "That's natural, this is the imperial kitchen given to me by the Queen Mother, and the dishes are not passed on." ”

"It's amazing, it's simply the best taste in the world!" Zhuang Rou said that the chopsticks reached out to another dish, picked up a carved thing like a rabbit, put it in his mouth without saying a word, and after eating a few bites, he covered his cheeks and praised, "Wow, it's so delicious, what if you can't eat such a delicious food in the future!" ”

Seeing that she had never seen the world, Chu Xia laughed a few times, and the ignorant civilians dared to say that they hated me.

Zhuang Rou slammed the vegetables into her mouth, and praised these dishes exaggeratedly, only saying that Chu Xia was so happy in her heart. When she drank a bowl of soup that seemed to be clear water, but was extremely delicious, put the bowl down, picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped her mouth, the joyful expression on her face disappeared.

Then she said indifferently: "My lord, my subordinates have finished eating, and now I will report the case to you." ”

Chu Xia looked at her in amazement, and suddenly reacted, this guy not only didn't guess the name of the dish, but also had eaten enough. He immediately pointed at her and scolded: "You dare to laugh at me, praising the food is all about playing with me!" ”

"My lord, don't worry about whether you are a vegetable or not, there is nothing to say about that kind of trivial matter. There is an important case report from a subordinate, and if the adult is hungry, then listen to the subordinate while eating. If you are already full, how about going to the study and asking your subordinates to report it? Zhuang Rou's face was serious, as if the person just now was not her.

"What do you report, I haven't eaten yet!" Chu Xia said angrily, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen to any case before I have eaten, I am a county order and not a canonical history, who cares about solving the case!" ”

He tilted his head and glared at the maid next to him, and the maid of the cloth quickly lowered her head and put his favorite dish in his bowl.

Chu Xia was eating the dishes angrily, so he didn't want to hear about the case, he had heard what the master said before, it was a small case of touching porcelain. He is not interested in this kind of thing, and the matter of his uncle's mansion is still in the confrontation, and he is not in the mood to look at the trivial things of the ordinary people.

"My subordinates want to borrow Brother Shi Zang for use, and I heard that he is very high in terms of punishment." Zhuang Roucai didn't care about him, and said it directly.

There was no one in the room who spoke, but now there was a strange sense of silence, and neither the guards nor the maids spoke. Chu Xia didn't pause for a moment, still eating elegantly.

Zhuang Rou naturally didn't say any more, just sat at the table and watched Chu Xia eat slowly, and couldn't tell if he listened at all.

This meal was eaten for more than half an hour, and after rinsing his mouth with a high-grade dragon well, Chu Xia got up and said, "Let's go to the study." ”

"Hmm." Zhuang Rou answered and followed him and Xiao Ran to the study.

Xiao Ran stood at the door, and the door was closed when the two walked in.

Chu Xia continued to lean on the soft couch, now he was an injured person, and he had to focus on recuperation. He glanced at the grapes on the table next to him with his eyes, and said to Zhuang Rou, "I want to eat grapes." ”

"Oh, it's good to eat, it's not mine." Zhuang Rou said puzzledly, do you need to say a special word to eat grapes?

Glancing at her, Chu Xia said, "My hand is injured, you feed me." ”

"......" Zhuang Rou looked at him speechlessly, his left hand was bandaged, and he was leaning on the soft collapse on his right side, looking like his right hand was pressed and it was inconvenient to move.

Seeing that she didn't move, Chu Xia raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you have something to report, it just so happens that I am listening while eating, if it is late, do you want to delay until late at night so that you can lie down with me and talk?" ”

Zhuang Rou smiled, sat next to her, picked a grape and put it in her mouth first, and found that this grape was completely different from the one she bought at home, and it was very delicious. I suddenly remembered that it was not the season to bear grapes at all, where did this grapes come from!

She was a little stunned and asked, "It's spring, where are the grapes?" ”

"The royal family naturally has a way to supply, but not everyone can eat it, Xianwangfu only caught a few baskets of loquat this spring, and the grain you eat is already worth a thousand gold." Chu Xia said with a curl of his mouth.

Looking at his lofty appearance, Zhuang Rou couldn't help but doubt, I'm afraid he only has such a string of himself.

Smiling, she reached out and picked another one and threw it into her mouth, not looking at whether Chu Xia was in pain or angry now, she picked another one and said while eating: "In this case, several of those adopted girls should be from the Teaching Workshop Division. I think the eunuch there was probably selling the children, and he sold all the young children. ”

Chu Xia wanted to snatch the grapes, because he also got such a few bunches, obviously he had already said that this was very precious, but he didn't expect Zhuang Rou to be so cheeky and eat it himself. But now that she said that, he paused.

The Sect Division doesn't have so much power, and he dares to sell the daughter of a criminal minister privately, which would be a big crime if it was found out. Not only do those who sell die, but it is also a great sin to buy people, and they don't have the courage to do so.

And......

He looked at Zhuang Rou, who was still eating grapes there, this woman had only been in office for less than half a month, and she had already made many officials dismount, and even the hereditary line of King Xian had been taken away, if it was a coincidence, then she was really the biggest disaster in this dynasty.

"What did you find?" Chu Xia looked at her and asked.

Zhuang Rou quickly glanced at him, immediately looked away, and looked at the furnishings on the table in the study, "There is a girl named Song Zhiruo inside, who is four or five years old this year, and her father is called Song Chu. ”

"Song Chu ......" Chu Xia couldn't remember the name of the big official who had committed any crimes, after all, he was active in the upper echelons, and if it was too small an official, then he had to send someone to investigate.

Seeing that he didn't know, Zhuang Rou didn't laugh at him, anyway, she didn't know who Song Chu was, but comforted: "My lord, forget it if you don't know, anyway, there are so many officials, how can you know them all." It's not the ones I often play with you, and it's normal to not know. ”

Chu Xia squinted at her, feeling that this sounded harsh, what do you mean by playing with yourself?

"I asked you to feed me grapes, not to ask you to come and eat them!" He said dissatisfied.

Zhuang Rou also looked at him, his hand slid over the grapes, picked the ones that were blue and not purple enough, and said with a smile: "My lord, open your mouth." ”

It's not about coaxing children!

Although Chu Xia was scolded, as long as he could summon her, a guy with no one in his eyes, he felt refreshed. When he opened his mouth, he bit the grapes that were fed to his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows immediately wrinkled, this grape is too sour!

He frowned and chewed the grapes casually a few times, and asked with an unkind gaze, "What do you want Shi Zang to do?" ”

Of course, it was to torture Li Zhongxin, and he didn't explain anything, and the old couple said that the child was a poor child that no one wanted. Thinking about it, Li Zhongxin must know that the origin of this child cannot be explained, so he is unwilling to confess. Zhuang Rou smiled, "So I'm going to invite Brother Shi Zang over, I heard that his torture methods are quite powerful, I want him to ask for a confession, the ordinary method of hitting the board and pinching his fingers is not effective at all." ”

Chu Xia said seriously: "Be kind, how can you be so bad-hearted." ”

"Then the adult means not to borrow anyone?" Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and picked a grape casually, put it in her mouth and ate it again.

"Of course I borrowed it, but if you ask it, you must handle this case in person, and you can't find anyone else." Chu Xia smiled and said.

Of course, this is no problem, Zhuang Rou immediately said with a guarantee: "Don't worry, my lord, I will be responsible for this case to the end, and I will definitely not make excuses." ”

"This is what you said personally, don't come over like before, obviously saying that you will never come to see me again, but you are cheeky and have nothing to do." Chu Xia's body moved up, he reached out and picked a purple grape and put it in his mouth, raising his eyebrows, this grain is really sweet.

Zhuang Rou only felt that this person was really naïve, so she said with certainty: "No, this time I will definitely talk and count." ”

Chu Xia said: "If you don't finish this case, then come and serve me for three months, the weather is still a little cold in this early spring evening, and I am lacking a warm bed and changing clothes." ”

"Okay, no problem." Zhuang Rou agreed, feeling that he was really thinking too much, and he was not the kind of person who didn't do it halfway.

"Since the lord agrees, then without further ado, let Brother Shi Zang go to the county government with me now, the evening is just right for punishment." She stood up and set out to go back.

Chu Xia didn't leave her behind, and shouted outside, obviously only Xiao Ran was guarding the door, but Shi Zang walked out of a shadow outside, still with a cold face.

"Shi Zang, you go with her to interrogate that person." Chu Xia said lazily.

"Yes." Shi Zang responded, and glanced at Zhuang Rou coldly, revealing a strange feeling that made her feel strange, and he seemed to be a little happy.
