Chapter Twenty-Eight: His Original Plan
Pull the thumb-length noodles into the pan, wash the vegetables and cut the meat...... The process that is no more familiar is of grand significance because the second young master is standing aside and watching.
I swear, this is the most serious expression I've ever seen in him, as if he wasn't watching noodles, but watching a baby come birth.
Why did he have a serious expression, why did he make noodles himself, why did he come to the kitchen of the eldest young master's yard to make noodles? Confusion lingered in my heart, and finally I asked.
He looked at me with the noodles that had just come out of the pot, and his expression was a little sad.
"I've got too much salt?" I asked, haha.
"Hmm."
My heart trembled, really too much?
I couldn't help but take a sip of the rest of the soup in the pot, but I didn't put too much.
"Haha, lied to you!" The second young master said happily.
Helpless, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but another question came to my mind.
I don't know whether I should ask why he is sad.
I thought that tonight's questions would not be answered, and I didn't want the second young master to slowly solve my doubts after pulling a mouthful of noodles.
Many years later, when the dust settled, I recalled the beginning of many years of stumbling, which was what the second young master said tonight.
"Before, when I was a child," said the second young master, "my sister-in-law would often make me noodles in this kitchen. ”
Sister-in-law? It's about the eldest young master's former child daughter-in-law, the strange missing Qing'er, right?
I felt that the second young master's feelings for Qing'er were not ordinary, but I didn't expect that there was a story in this kitchen. After all this time, he still remembers coming here to make noodles and eat them.
Realizing that there was a mistake in his words, the second young master suddenly explained in a panic: "The sister-in-law I am talking about is the former sister-in-law!" ”
"Let's call her Qing'er, so as not to get confused." He finally settled on the title.
I don't care, I can tell the difference in my heart anyway.
The second young master buried his head in eating noodles, and I was happy to see it.
Although I am not a Qing'er, the noodles I make make him happy.
"Qing'er's noodles are more delicious."
A whop on the head!
The second young master looked nostalgic, and said leisurely: "Qing'er's cooking skills are good, and the eldest brother also likes to eat." When I was young, I used to come over to eat. But Qing'er didn't allow me to eat more, and my eldest brother didn't let me. I couldn't eat enough and cried. The eldest brother was annoyed and drove me away. At this time, Qing'er will take me away, take me to this kitchen, and make me a bowl of noodles. I was eating noodles at that time, and I thought, when I grow up, I want to find a daughter-in-law like Qing'er......"
I have long been curious about Qing'er's affairs, but now that I hear the nostalgia of the second young master, I am strangely unsatisfied.
"Qing'er...... It's gone. I couldn't help but interrupt the second young master's words and said.
No matter how good she is, she is no longer there.
The second young master paused, smiled bitterly, and stopped talking about his memories. I was relieved, but I didn't know why.
There was a long silence in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, you were personally selected and bought by my mother and grandmother, right?" When I was stunned, the second young master suddenly asked.
I didn't hear it clearly, he repeated it, then raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you know why the eldest brother agreed?" ”
Child daughters-in-law are all selected by their parents and elders, and I am selected by the second lady and the old lady. The second young master told me that the old lady threatened the inheritance, and the eldest young master was forced to agree.
After the ins and outs are clear, I don't know whether to pity myself or the eldest young master.
"Actually, when you came in, I didn't like you," the second young master said in surprise, "I also hate the eldest brother who agreed to this." ”
Thinking about his enthusiasm when I first met him, I couldn't help but swallow.
Seeing this, the second young master hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I don't hate you anymore." You are also forced, I can see that you don't like the people in my family, including the eldest brother. ”
"I took your hand in front of everyone, but I didn't want you to enter the door, it's so unfair to Qing'er, you won't blame me, right?"
It's hard for me to fully describe how I feel right now, I'm dumbfounded, shocked, and a little relieved.
On the day I entered, I heard Lu Yuan say that the second young master was soaked in a honey pot, and he was ignorant, and he had the experience of being held by him under the blue sky and white sun, so he took this word seriously selfishly, and then interacted with him, and always didn't want to think about him and his mind.
But the second young master is always the second young master of the Luo family, how can he really be as simple as a child.
I suddenly noticed that his eyes were also deep, somewhat similar to the eldest young master, but what he overflowed on the surface was the honey called "ignorance", and the eldest young master was indestructible ice.
But knowing his original plan, I couldn't be angry. I have always regarded selfishness as true, it was my mistake, but I do not regret it. Maybe he saved me three times or twice, but I still believe that he is a good man.
The second young master blinked and asked uneasily, "Do you blame me?" ”
I scolded myself in my heart for not being angry, shook my head at him, and said, "I don't blame you. ”
He smiled, "Young Master Ben really didn't misunderstand you, and he doesn't hold grudges!" ”
Although he is not an ignorant child, this mind is not far behind.
The honeypot that grew up with him is not very sweet, but it is also honey. I found another reason for myself not to be mad at him, he was still a little kid.
"You didn't like me at the beginning, did you think I took Qing'er's place?" I asked.
The second young master nodded and said, "The eldest brother promised Qing'er that she was his only lover in his past and present lives, and I regarded her as my only sister-in-law, how could I let someone else replace her?" ”
I was surprised when I heard this, the eldest young master actually made a promise to someone other than Siqing.
