Chapter 127: Gathering

It is rare for Zhao Lu to come back, and there are really a lot of people who want to socialize. But as soon as Xiaodong came out, everyone had to retreat.

Just kidding, as long as you know each other, who doesn't know how much Prince An loves his sister? Once Xiaodong celebrated his birthday, he once wiped his face and played on stage, and acted in a colorful costume to entertain his relatives.

The people gathered in King An's mansion this time were all their own families, and Shen Jing also came back, and sat at a table for reunion. Xiao Dong tied up his apron and cooked two specialty dishes, a large bowl of hot mutton soup was served on the table, and the people on the table scooped it with a brush. The soup is not greasy at all, smooth as tofu, and in addition to lamb, it is also filled with chopped shrimp, straw mushrooms, water chestnuts, sea cucumber and ham. There is also a small bowl of walnut cheese for one person, white as snow, sprinkled with a little sesame seeds and honey-stained osmanthus on it, not enough to eat, just looking at it makes people feel sweet and soft in their hearts.

There are three edible ones on the table - Qin Lie, Zhao Lu, and Shen Jing.

The first two Xiaodong are not strange, as long as she cooks, even if she makes a plate of fried sawdust, the two of them can eat and chew without changing their faces, but Shen Jing has always been Sven, this time the eating appearance is like a storm sweeping away the clouds, after wiping her mouth, holding the tea bowl and saying: "Alas, you really don't know what kind of life I spent on the river work, the noodles are black, the rice is mixed with sand, and someone made a bowl of steamed wild vegetables for me, which is very delicious." ”

No wonder - it turned out to be suffering outside.

Zhao Lu laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't hurt to suffer a little more." I also eat big stove rice in the barracks, and it is rare to go back to the capital, so I must save some oil and water. ”

Alas, a prince of a royal palace and a son of a family are like starving ghosts reincarnated.

It's a good thing that someone appreciates her craftsmanship - but it's too exaggerated, and Xiaodong himself hasn't tasted a bite.

The banquet was withdrawn, the autumn night was slightly cool, and the moonlight was bright. Qin Lie and Zhao Lu also hadn't seen each other for many days, and the two of them went to the back of the martial arts training ground. Shen Jing stayed behind to talk to King An. The names of the people they talked about were not familiar with Xiaodong, and they thought it was all about the Ministry of Industry.

"I compared the accounts of the previous four years, the least was the year before and the most was last year. This year's materials, labor, and various costs are all counted ......"

Today's bun was combed a little tightly, Xiao Dong pulled out the hairpin, picked the bun looser, took off his shoes again, leaned there and closed his eyes to recuperate, listening to the low and gentle voice in the room. Hongfu whispered, "The county lord is tired? Why don't you go and rest first? ”

"Not tired." Xiao Dong asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost time."

No wonder she was a little sleepy, usually she had to go to bed at this time.

"You let people clean up, we won't go back tonight, let's rest in the palace for one night."

Hongfu agreed, Shen Jing came out of the inner room, and Xiao Dong hurriedly stepped on his shoes and stood up: "Huh? Finished? ”

"Well, it's going to be curfew, so I'll take my leave." Shen Jing smiled and said, "Today's meat soup is really delicious. ”

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll do more next time." ”

Xiaodong sent him out of the yard, the night was as cold as water, Shen Jing stood still: "No need to send it, it's cold outside, you go back quickly." ”

"Then be careful on the road, let Uncle Fuhai send two more people to send you, and if you meet someone patrolling the city, it is easy to talk."

"Got it." Shen Jing's hand was raised, hesitated slightly, still swept slightly on Xiao Dong's head, and then spread his hand out to her: "It's stained with velvet." ”

"Ah," Xiao Dong himself raised his hand and touched his head. Probably leaning on there just now.

The moment Shen Jing approached just now, Xiao Dong smelled a faint fragrance on his body.

Because of cooking at night, Xiao Dong's hands and face have been washed, and he has not put on makeup. The night is cool and quiet, and this fragrance seems to be absent, and I can't smell it for a while.

"Thank you for the tea you sent, I sorted out the case files these days, but I can't leave it for a while."

"Don't stay too up," Xiao Dong advised: "Stay in the green mountains, and you can do more when you are in good health." ”

"I know, you should go back quickly."

Xiao Dong stood still, the little guy picked up the lantern, walked away briskly, his figure disappeared into the night, the light of the lantern swayed slightly, getting farther and farther away.

Hongfu took the cloak and gently put it on Xiao Dong's shoulder, and with a little light and shadow, she saw the thoughtful expression on Xiao Dong's face.

"County Lord, will you go back to the house?"

"Well, what about my uncle and my son?"

Hongfu smiled and said, "I haven't come back yet, I just sent someone to pass the word, saying that I have a lot to say, and I can't come back for a while, so I told you to sleep first and don't wait." ”

"Got it."

It's really strange, how can Shen Jing have that kind of rouge fragrance on Shen Jing?

Xiao Dong entered the house, and King An also changed his clothes, wearing a homely cloth robe, and the crown on his head was also removed, which really didn't look like the royal nobles of the Golden Horse Yutang at a glance.

King An beckoned, and Xiao Dong walked up to him and sat down next to him.

"Come, let's play a game of chess."

Xiao Dong is really not good at playing chess, although there is a master like King An who is training, the level is still not in the stream. In the chess class in Jiyutang back then, I deserted in the air, how could I learn any real skills.

However, King An definitely didn't really want to play chess.

Xiao Dong said, "Okay. ”

The chessboard is opened, King An holds the black, and the jade chess pieces have a faint soft light under the light. Xiaodong is happy, and he can put it as he wants. King An didn't care about her, and the two of them were purely playing chess pieces.

Xiao Dong took advantage of the time to ask: "Father, in fact, Zhang Ziqian walked with us all the way, and it was my father who asked him to protect me, right?" ”

King An looked at the chessboard, held the chess pieces, and said casually: "It was he who said that he wanted to go out and have a look." ”

If you don't deny it, it's true.

Xiao Dong bit his lip, and after a while, he whispered, "I asked my brother." ”

"Oh?" King An raised his head with interest: "He didn't tell me the truth, what did he say to you?" ”

"Hmm...... I'm afraid my brother has a lot of meaning in his heart, but I don't know what the girl thinks in his heart. ”

"It's the fourth girl of the Yin family, right?"

Xiao Dong didn't know Miss Yin's ranking, but Wang An broke it, and she didn't feel strange at all. It would be strange if An Wu didn't know.

"Father knows, too?"

"I know that her father has died a long time ago, and she lives with her uncle's family. Her uncle Yin Yicheng is a doctor of Guanglu and a square person. ”

Xiao Dong grabbed the chess pieces and was distracted: "Well, I've seen her twice, and Miss Yin is very amiable." ”

However, Miss Yin is older than Xiao Dong, and she is not married yet, so she can be regarded as an older young woman. It is said that such a good girl should not have been wasted so far. Could it be that the dowry is not abundant? Or is there a side cause?

In these days, people always say that their daughters are losing money - although it is derogatory, but this also makes sense. Marrying a daughter requires a lot of dowry, and there are many girls who can't marry because of the small dowry. But Dr. Guanglu's niece and daughter will never end up like that.

Xiao Dong pondered for a while, and then pondered quietly.

Where did that faint rouge on his body come from?

Xiao Dong is sure that Shen Jing does not have the habit of applying grease and powder, that is, the smell of others has contaminated him?

No wonder - it turned out to be suffering outside.

Zhao Lu laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't hurt to suffer a little more." I also eat big stove rice in the barracks, and it is rare to go back to the capital, so I must save some oil and water. ”
