Chapter Forty-Seven: Handmade Soup (II)
Fang Xin stepped forward happily, washed his hands, and helped make meat soup, the meat was very ordinary, but the seasoning and soup were not simple, with a little help, adding to the special pot, it didn't take much time for a fragrance to seep out.
Not only is it meaty, but it also has a unique fragrance, as long as you smell it, you will feel clear and concentrated, and it is also added with precious and nutritious items such as needle ear mushrooms.
This is the seasoning to remove the fishy Titian, Fang Xin thought.
The third dish, however, is the simplest stir-fried greens, which is considered a vegetarian dish.
"Okay, let's eat together, just two dishes and one soup!" Xiao Bing came back and said, at this time, her whole body was shining with a crystal light, smiling, revealing two dimples, Fang Xin was confused, and couldn't help but step forward and kiss her dimples again.
Xiao Bing's eyes were full of laughter, and he pushed it slightly, bringing these to the small table, and the Chinese food began.
After all, it is the Xiao family, the fragrant rice is crystal full and full, wafting a unique aroma, and the two dishes and one soup are also extremely delicious, Fang Xin, who eats it, is full of praise, and immediately looks at Xiao Bing differently.
Supplemented by a kind of ice leaf wine, only half a cup is poured, it reflects the pure golden color, the taste of slight ice, the taste is very refreshing and delicious, after the entrance, it is even more fragrant, increasing the sensitivity of the sense of taste, which is obviously the appetizer of the Xiao family.
Simplicity hides luxury, that's life.
The lunch was very sweet, after eating, Fang Xin wanted to wash the dishes again, but this time, Xiao Bing didn't want it, seeing her resolute expression, Fang Xin also owed it, and said, "Then trouble you." ”
Calm and easy.
Xiao Bing's eyes flashed a little different. I went and washed the dishes, and then I washed my hands and came out.
"Fang Xin, do you have something to do in the afternoon?" "We're entertaining some of our guests at home in the evening," she asked. How is it? ”
"It's okay, I'm okay in the afternoon, you have something to do, just go and give me a room." I'm going to take a break too. Fang Xin immediately understood what she meant and said.
"Well, it's okay, it's the road, take a break." Of course there are rooms in the villa, at the moment on the second floor, find a room, the room is clean, spotlessly clean, and there is a thin blanket ready. It is obvious that he has been prepared.
After saying a few words, he said goodbye, Fang Xin sent her downstairs, shook her hand, and then went to the door.
In the living room below, at this time, a person came out of the side room, and Xiao Bing lowered his head slightly: "Old Jia." It's too much trouble for you, you haven't eaten yet. I will give you a banquet at Qingpingju at once. ”
"It doesn't matter, the aunt of the Xiao family's generation, of course I have to see it clearly, it's not troublesome, it's not troublesome." This man is an old man. The tone is flat.
"And what about your opinion?" Xiao Bing was a little nervous.
"Last time I heard you liked this guy. I'm a little against it, I seem to have met him once as a kid. It's mediocre, but this time, it's really good. Jia Lao said. Oh! Jia Lao said that it was really good, the comment of these three words was rare, Xiao Bing suddenly let go of most of his heart and showed a smile.
"The girl is outward, and now she is nervous, however, his current cultivation is already quite good, the internal breath and the yin god, both have considerable points, and they are only one order away from you, but the conditions you have obtained since childhood are not comparable to him, and then look at his quality, it is really amazing, there is only a line away from the ice muscle jade bone into Daluo, I don't think the empire can find a few such qualifications, strange, how could the Fang family let such a seedling be buried? Even if it's a distant branch, it's still a member of the Fang family! Jia Lao shook his head puzzled, and said with emotion: "Even if it's you, it's just the same as him now, and you used secret medicine since you were a child to turn into this ice muscle jade bone, but there are many things, he doesn't understand it yet, but it doesn't matter, those things are originally small skills, the key is that there is no inferiority complex at all, and it is very calm and calm, which is good." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Bing smiled a little wryly and said, "This is what I am most dissatisfied with. ”
She looked indifferent, but there was an indescribable melancholy in her eyes, and she whispered: "All love will be impermanent, it is rare to be long, life is more fearful, life is in danger of morning dew, from love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from your lover, you are carefree and fearless." ”
The old man suddenly understood the mystery and was shocked.
"This is what the Buddha said, impermanence aside, there is still a truth, Fang Xin can walk calmly, in fact, he doesn't love me very much, he has never been attached to me, and he has never been moved by my family's wealth and power, to put it bluntly, it is all the laws of my family, if you don't greed, what is there to fear, if you don't ask for anything, if we don't evaluate him, if there is no meaning, how can he not be calm, how can he not be calm?"
The less he asks, the higher his ambition, if he can ask for it without pretense, he will naturally not be subject to all laws, of course, Fang Xin can do this, because he has jade Ruyi, even if the world evaluates him as a mouse, what does it matter, he is still a soaring dragon.
However, there is a way of its own in the world, firm in oneself, firm in one's actions, can be complacent and self-sufficient, and do not ask for anything else, how many people can?
"If he loved me and valued me, would he be so calm?" After Xiao Bing finished speaking in a low voice, he raised his head, but he was stunned, and he didn't understand why the old man was shocked, this should be the simplest truth.
"People who do great things naturally have their own bearing and foundation, and they can't get both fish and bear's paws, how can anyone who can do great things and be obsessed with your affection?" Only then did the old man come back to his senses and said: "You are in the family, of course you know that some things are not available, you choose him, he happens to have such a quality, and it is already considered luck." ”
Xiao Bing's family is naturally a political force in the local area, and many parliamentarians have come out of it, as Xiao Bingdi's husband, he will at least be a member of the Imperial Assembly in the future, even if he has no intention of pursuing a career.
Xiao Bing nodded, got in the car, and then drove out, sending him to Qingpingju first, and she and Jia Lao did not speak again along the way. It wasn't until he was about to get out of the car that Jia Lao said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen!" ”
Xiao Bing showed a smile and replied, "I know!" ”
Although the Xiao family can be regarded as deep as the sea. But how can the heads of the family not control the overall situation, if the determination has been made, it is up to the people. Give some politeness, refer to some opinions, but just give some face and make some scenes.
After that, wait for him to go in. I drove back to the Shaw Building, walked in, got on the president's elevator, and stopped on the eighteenth floor.
The man, who was in his twenties, tall and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, bowed down to her and said, "Oops." It just so happened that my uncle told me to call you to meet him! ”
"Father wants to see me!" Xiao Bing frowned slightly, and secretly took a half step back, she didn't like him being so close, although he was his cousin.
button to continue going up to the twenty-fourth floor.
The door opened. There was silence in the hallway, except for the people who came and went. Xiao Bing saw the president's office and stepped forward.
"Hello Mr. Xiao, Mr. Meng is inside, I'll let you know." A secretary stepped forward and said, although it was father and daughter. But there are some things that have some rules.
The room is decorated with a bouquet of snow-white flowers. The fragrance undercurrent is the horn of the angel.
"I'm sorry. Mr. Meng still approves the document, please wait for a while. After a while, the secretary came out, poured tea for her, and whispered. Xiao Bing was silent, she knew that her father was a little resentful about her choice, she didn't lose her temper with this secretary, so she calmed down and drank tea quietly.
To be a human being is to enjoy yourself, to find happiness in life, and only yourself can make yourself happy, so she must not treat herself badly at all times, which she has long understood.
In fact, the Xiao family implements the inheritance of concubines, and the industrial shares are in the hands of the head of the family, and they have always held more than 60% of the control, and now half of it has been transferred to Xiao Bing.
It's just that you don't have to be busy seizing power, and there are some things that don't have to be rushed.
After a while, he called her in again, and her father was sitting upright, looking at his daughter, and wanted to dry her, but now, it seemed that there was no effect at all, and some words could not be said, and after a long time, he asked, "Are you sure now?" ”
Xiao Bing knew that his father was referring to Fang Xin, nodded and said, "Dad, I have already chosen him." ”
"But, what's so good about him, I investigated, it's a very ordinary person, except when you were a child, it's something special that you lived with him for two years." As a father, he was a little puzzled: "You won't choose him just because of this, right, childhood sweetheart?" ”
"It's only partial, in fact, when I was a child, I allowed him to be my wife."
When Father Xiao heard this, he was both angry and funny: "Is this a private life?" ”
Xiao Bing showed some smile and said, "That's right, I just think that he likes it, that's all." ”
Father Xiao glanced at her, knowing that when it comes to liking everything, it can't be theorized, so he said with a wry smile: "That's always a bit on the table!" ”
"Sixteen years old, third-order inner breath and yin god, does it count?"
"Oh!" Father Xiao was moved, he was only a third-order inner breath and yin god now, and it took decades to know the difficulties inside, of course, he knew that his daughter did not tell lies, and the Xiao family had passed it down from generation to generation, and attached great importance to this aspect, at the moment he was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not the same as before, and it's not an achievement in cultivation, it's okay." ”
"Dad, don't we have anything else at home? How much money and power should be borrowed from external forces? We are not a family for decades, we rely on marriage, we are a family of thousands of years, and we have our own foundations. Xiao Bing stretched his voice: "Dad, I'm your daughter, how can you not look at me!" ”
Father Xiao couldn't help but let out a sigh: "To be honest, I don't think he is worthy of you, you are mature and sensible, you have been in power early, everyone has seen your achievements in the past few years, and your own cultivation is high, what is the reason why he should not marry?" I heard that I made vegetable soup for him today, don't you feel wronged? For example, the Luo family, and the Li family's one, are all good! ”
Xiao Bing smiled when he heard this.
"Hey, laugh at something, answer me."
"Dad, feelings belong to feelings, things belong to things, if even the feelings in life have to be used as bargaining chips, this person is too tired and too fake!" Speaking of this, Xiao Bing restrained his smile: "It took more than 500 years for the Xiao family to lay a big foundation, so that the successive heads of the family could survive without betraying their feelings, and I already understood this. ”
"As for whether I am wronged or not, I don't feel wronged myself, it's okay, why bother to talk about any reason?" Xiao Bing said this, his eyes were hazy: "I just follow my own heart, if I am really wronged, I also found it myself." ”
Father Xiao still wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered what happened to her mother back then, and suddenly his heart softened, stared at her in a daze, and said: "As the saying goes, children don't know their parents' hearts, forget it, so how do you treat your cousin?" ”
Xiao Bing's heart was relieved, knowing that his father had passed this pass, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I won't treat him badly, there is still a piece of land in the Seven Family Country, and if you want to build a leisure manor, your cousin will preside over it, how about it?" ”
"Now that you have made up your mind, what else do I have to say, after all, you are my daughter, I don't want to you, to whom?" Father Xiao said helplessly.
"Thank you, Dad!" With that, Xiao Bing stepped forward, kissed his father, and then turned to leave.
"This girl!" Father Xiao smiled and watched her leave, and after a while, his eyes turned
And at this time, Fang Xin is refining qi consolidation, in fact, whether it is washing the marrow or gaining vitality, it is actually a long-term process, only when it is thoroughly digested and the body is adjusted, it can be considered complete, so Fang Xin is in the room, just according to the Great Zhou Tian Breathing Method Cycle between exhaling and inhaling, Fang Xin felt a trace of qi flowing into the inside, penetrating into the body, although rare, but endless, this is the real Great Zhou Tian, since then it can win the heaven and earth.
After a long time, Fang Xin took a long breath and slowly opened his eyes, under the afternoon sun, his skin and skin exuded a faint glow, almost visible to the naked eye, and he was very satisfied.
