Four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, a plate of steamed fish, a plate of fried meat, and two plates of fried vegetables, with a bowl of white rice and crucian carp soup on each of the two of them, neatly placed on the stone table in the pavilion, with warm smoke.

Each dish is not big, and it is estimated that the portion of just two people, it seems that the eating habits of Guzhou's family are just right, and they don't like extravagance and waste.

Uncle Sun smiled and said to them: "It's all home-cooked food, it's lighter, it's not as rich as the restaurant outside, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, try it to see if it suits the taste, eat it slowly, it's not enough to add more, there are still in the pot." ”

The woman behind him wiped her hands with her apron, smiled kindly, and did not speak, but only made a few simple gestures to signal their intention to eat.

This is probably Uncle Sun's wife, thinking that the kitchen responded with the sound of knocking on the board, Qin Xun thought that Aunt Sun was probably suffering from Auntie Sun, which is commonly known as muteness.

He showed Aunt Sun a well-behaved and pleasing smile of a young man, and Aunt Sun was very happy in her heart for this young man who looked like Zhouzheng.

"Hard work two." Qi Jing said.

Uncle Sun and his wife finished setting their meals and went back to the kitchen, Qi Jing told Qin Xun that in Mr. Guzhou's house, Uncle Sun and Mr. Guzhou did not eat with the guests, Uncle Sun and his wife ate in the kitchen, Guzhou ate alone in his room, and the guests all ate in this pavilion when they came, and they would only meet if they needed to talk when they didn't eat.

"They are so careful, they even set up chopsticks, but it's a pity that you are eating with me and don't need this." Qin Xun smiled and put a pair of chopsticks to stir-fry vegetables in Qi Jing's bowl, and asked knowingly, "Everyone knows that you have a cleanliness habit since you were a child, but when you were with me, this cleanliness habit was like a fake, why don't you dislike me?" ”

"You say that in the hope that I dislike you?"

"Of course not." Qin Xun took another piece of fried meat, and this time it was directly sent to Qi Jing's mouth.

“…… Eat well and don't make a fuss. ”

"Why, just talk about it, you immediately dislike it? That's it, I won't make trouble if you eat it. ”

Qi Jing had no choice but to take the piece of meat on his chopsticks, Qin Xun took back the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, sucking the tip of the empty chopsticks, full of pleasure.

This move was too provocative, and Qi Jing avoided his gaze and went to the plate of steamed fish.

The aroma of steamed fish is overflowing, and part of the fish body is covered by accessories such as ham and bamboo shoots and fishy ginger shreds, and several knife edges are cut to expose the snow-white fish meat in order to taste it, which is full and smooth and makes people can't bear to destroy it with chopsticks, and it is also tempting people's index fingers.

It's a pity that in order to distract Qi Jing, he obviously didn't have the intention of not being able to bear to destroy, picked out the ginger shreds, went down to the fish meat at the incision and pulled a piece of it, soaked it in the soup, and sandwiched it into Qin Xun's bowl.

"Are there any thorns?" Qin Xun is most concerned about the issue.

"No, Mr. changed the guiyu for you later." Qi Jing paused, and then said, "If there is a thorn, I will remove it and give it to you." ”

Qin Xun was satisfied with the piece of fish meat put in his mouth, the steamed cinnamon fish meat was soaked in the soup, the salty aroma has a faint cooking wine flavor used to remove the fish, it melts in the mouth, it is delicious and tender, and it is not too greasy. He remembered something as he took a sip of the fish, swallowed it, and asked, "Is the way sir came back closer than the way we came back to the ferry?" We didn't have much delay on our way back, and by this time they had already steamed the fish. ”

"Probably yes, but my husband doesn't like to walk with people, and I have never walked the way he is accustomed to." After Qi Jing finished speaking, he seemed to have forgotten something when he saw him eating, and couldn't help but remind him, "Didn't you just tell me, who did you meet when you went to Xu's Mansion today?" Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Uncle Sun and his wife delivering food.

"Oh, this, it's not important, I met Chu Shenxing and their family. Chu Shenxing, do you remember? It was Chu Tian who asked, the word called Shen Xing, who was with me in the villa and the Pingzhou Academy before, and the one who went to the Jinling Academy when you came to see me at the beginning of last summer. ”

said that it was not important, but the prompt was extraordinarily detailed, obviously because he was afraid that Qi Jing would not be able to remember that Chu Tian asked what kind of entanglement this person had with him Qin Xun at the beginning.

This question seems to be quite important.

Qi Jing's eating movements slowed down: "I remember him, what did the Chu family do when they went to Xu's house?" ”

"Get married, it's not going to block me anyway, it's nothing to do with me." Qin Xun took another piece of fish meat and handed it to Qi Jing's mouth, completely forgetting the words he had just said when he fed him the meat slices, "That's it".

Qi Jing didn't break it, so he ate the fish with his chopsticks.

"Your old classmate surnamed Chu got married, so the Xu family is a school-age lady?"

"Yes, of course, it won't be a school-age boy who marries Chu Shenxing, Qi Jing, you can't think about it just because someone once had an ambiguous rumor with a man like me."

"Don't talk nonsense." Qi Jing reprimanded lightly, then sighed and said, "I heard a little about talking with Mr. Fang that day, your old classmate is the same age as arbitrariness, he should be crowned next year, and when he was young, he should be unstable and messing around a few times, and it is a good thing for him to be able to settle down as a family." ”

People will be two years older than you next year, how can you talk like your father's generation. Qin Xun smiled secretly in his heart.

"I don't think so." Qin Xun shook his head and smiled, "A classmate, the relationship is good, I look at him well, but it's a pity that the pair of fathers and mothers above him are really not fuel-efficient lamps." Do you know that Miss Xu is a sick child, although it is an ordinary disease of physical weakness, but she has been pampered by her family all the year round, and she is simply weak. Based on my understanding of Chu Shengxiong and his wife, such a fragile vase that can only be left at home and served well, and it is not easy to give birth and raise without going out, normally they will definitely not look down on it, if they say that they have no plans to marry the Xu family so diligently, I don't believe it. Qi Jing, as far as you know, this Xu Wenhui from Pingzhou East County, has he been lucky on the official road recently? ”

Qi Jing pondered for a moment: "My father seems to have attached great importance to the land south of the Yangtze River in recent years, and intends to explore the style of officials in this area, and select some outstanding ones to be transferred to Chang'an. This Xu Wenhui county order, law-abiding, gives me a very good impression. ”

"That's it, the impression on you is good, and the impression on others will not be bad, Xu Wenhui is very likely to be included in the candidate for transfer to Chang'an, what Chu Shengxiong needs is this stepping stone, otherwise, because of his surname Chu, he will not be called to Chang'an."

"If I'm not mistaken, this Chu family in Pingzhou South County is a side branch of the Chu family in Chang'an, right? The one that succeeded Changqin as a son a few years ago? ”

"Yes, don't say it, their vein is still quite wise, they didn't wade into the muddy water of the Chu family's lineage at the beginning, and they were able to live peacefully in this place far away from the emperor of the mountain, which can be regarded as having enough brains."

Qi Jing took a mouthful of rice into his mouth, chewed it carefully, swallowed it, and said lightly: "I'm afraid that after a long time, I will not be willing to be lonely." ”

After all, there is no second Shen family now, and the emperor needs to sacrifice another Chu family to deal with.

Qin Xun said with a smile: "No, after marrying Miss Xu, when Xu Wenhui went to Chang'an, there was only this daughter in the family, and he wanted to find a good errand for his son-in-law, so the Chu family would naturally move to Chang'an." As for this Miss Xu, who knows if she will die of illness one day, and from my perspective as a doctor, Xu Yanqiu is not suitable for childbirth, her body can't stand it, I'm afraid that giving birth to a child will give birth to her life. Regardless of whether she is dead or alive, at that time, the Chu family will be able to climb the high branches of other families in the name of continuing the incense, and marry a few more to Chu Shenxing. Don't look at Xu Wenhui as a good official, he is too honest, in the kind of deceitful place in Chang'an officialdom, he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with it, Chu Shengxiong is different, he is an old slippery head, and he can eat very well. ”

Qin Xun is not a warm-hearted person, and when he talks about Miss Xu who is on the same side, he doesn't have half of his feelings.

"You and I are not good at interfering in other people's family affairs, if one day the Chu family really moves into Chang'an, I hope they will get some benefits in Chang'an and be able to keep to themselves, in the end, it is the family that succeeded Changqin, I don't want to see their family have an accident involving Changqin."

"When did you become so interested in that kid Chu Changqin?"

Qi Jing was stunned, unable to react to the speed at which he turned from serious conversation to laughter so quickly, and helplessly called him: "Ah Xun." ”

"Okay, good, old acquaintances, small hair, occasionally care and care, eat and eat."

After the meal, Uncle Sun cleaned up the dishes and plates, and Aunt Sun brought a small plate over, putting the pitted and cut peaches. They took the peaches they had brought, cut them into six petals, and put them together about the size of a peach, which was so large that it was enough for the two who had just eaten to eat one.

It's just that in this way, it can be said that it is a peach to eat.

Divide the peach, Qin Xun laughed maliciously, and suddenly had a good impression of Aunt Sun who poked his mind by mistake.

Aunt Sun put down the fruit plate, stood aside and looked at Qin Xun with a silent smile, her hands flew up and down and made a few gestures, Qin Xun couldn't understand it, so she went to see Qi Jing.

"Auntie said you looked good." Qi Jing said.

Qin Xun was in a good mood and sweet in his mouth, and said with a smile that he was very obedient: "Auntie is also good-looking, auntie must have been a great beauty in ten miles and eight towns when she was young, right?" ”

There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised for her good looks, even if she is an old and ordinary-looking peasant woman, Aunt Sun smiled even happier, look at him, look at Qi Jing again, and make a few gestures, Qin Xun also waited for Qi Jing's translation.

Qi Jing paused, then the corners of his lips curled, and he smiled: "Auntie said, you should find a partner who looks right." ”

Aunt Sun's ears didn't seem to be very good, and when she listened to them, she didn't consciously turn her ears, and she tried hard to hear clearly, and when she heard Qi Jing's expression, she slapped him lightly on the shoulder and back with disgust and love, smiled kindly at Qin Xun, turned around and left to go back to the kitchen.

"That's what Auntie meant?" Qin Xun pinched a petal of peach and didn't eat it, staring at Qi Jing's eyes.

"It's a big difference."

That's a lot of difference.

No, Qi Jing wouldn't lie to him and say yes, and he didn't want to admit that he didn't exactly do what he said, so he could only fool him with the statement "almost".

Qin Xun didn't ask, took a bite of the peach in his hand, and handed the rest of the bite to Qi Jing's mouth: "It's really sweet, I thought it was the vendor who sold himself and boasted, you taste it." ”

Qi Jing watched his slender fingers pinching the small piece of peach flesh that had been bitten off, his fingertips were dipped in moist juice, and a sweet breath spread in his nose, neither refusing nor taking it, only saying: "Peaches are not to be eaten." ”

"Why?"

“…… You know why, don't pretend to be stupid with me. ”

Qin Xun was not annoyed by him, he smiled and moved his hand a little further, and gently pressed the peach flesh on the soft lips of the young man in white with his fingertips, but he didn't force it into his mouth, just waiting for him to react: "Hmm, then I should know." I know what? If I keep handing it to your mouth like this, Qi Jing, do you really refuse to eat it? ”

Qi Jing looked at him steadily, his eyes sinking like a pool.

"My patience is not good, and my hands are sore, you don't eat this time, and you won't eat it again in the future, do you really not eat it?"

If it is said that eating food is good, it can be said that the feelings are perfunctory, and eating peaches is forcing him to admit and admit those strange and secret thoughts.

But how can he be willing to refuse, it is impossible to refuse, he knows very well what kind of character this young man is, as long as he really pushes him away once, from now on, he will no longer be his Ah Xun.

Besides, it never occurred to him to actually push him away.

That's it, Qi Jing sighed and opened his mouth to take the sweet peach flesh of his fingertips.

Qin Xun smiled and bent his eyes.
