Chapter Twenty-Five: The Past
"I don't know why the fifth prince came to visit early in the morning?" Nan Xiao already roughly knew what the five princes thought, how could there be anything else besides that matter when he came to the mansion at this time, even so, Nan Xiao still asked politely.
The fifth prince did not speak, but glanced at Zhu Xin and Lan Xin, who were following behind Nan Xiao, and then held back his mind and said not a word.
Seeing this, Nan Xiao waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go out, until the living room fell silent again, and the fifth prince raised his head and put the booklet that Nan Xiao gave her last time in front of her eyes.
"I'll do it."
"Huh?" Nan Xiao, who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, almost squirted out the tea in his mouth when he heard this.
"I said it, I promised you, but one thing, tell me, why you did it?" The fifth prince ignored Nan Xiao's reaction at all, and asked slowly.
"I'm afraid the five princes haven't figured out the current situation? Is it you who needs help now, not me? I only helped you because of fate, and I need you to do something for me after the goal is achieved. Nan Xiao has thought of many reasons, but he still feels that selfish reasons are more convincing, pies will not fall from the sky, and showing favor for no reason will only make people vigilant.
"What do you want to do?" The fifth prince looked vigilant.
"You'll know, but not now, but you know, I'm not going to do anything unreasonable!" Gathering his mind, Nan Xiao said lightly.
After a long time, the five princes finally left, and the footprints were deep and shallow, stepping on the snow, and the snow white lost its original beauty.
Looking at the branches covered with snowflakes, Nan Xiao suddenly felt that everything had become boring, now Qianshi, oh no, he should be called the fifth prince Bai Yu, he shouldn't be like this, but what should he look like, Nan Xiao felt that he didn't understand much.
Now I don't know what's wrong, I even feel bored when I get along with him, or is it a bit boring to do all this? What the hell happened to her? Suddenly, Nan Xiao missed Feng Xiaoqi who didn't know where he was, that heartless person, there was always a way to make people happy.
Seeing the table full of things that Fang Cai still wanted to eat, Nan Xiao also lost her appetite, the fifth prince came to her, closer to her layout, she should be happy, she should be happy, but the more this is the case, her heart is more empty.
"Master, if you don't want to eat anything else, eat dumplings, just out of the pot, cooked hot, and, today's winter solstice, I ate those who don't freeze my ears." Zhu Xin saw Nan Xiao's sullen appearance, hesitated for a moment and brought out the dumplings that had just been cooked.
In the past, the master liked dumplings the most, crystal shrimp dumplings, pursed cabbage pork, beef, mutton, crab meat, in short, there is no master who doesn't like it, especially with the dipping sauce made by Aunt Zhou, it's really delicious to swallow your tongue.
Aunt Zhou is a native of the North, make a good pasta, the dumpling dipping sauce is to mash the garlic, add spices, chili noodles, salt, sprinkle with baked white sesame seeds, pour hot peanut oil, add the old vinegar of the Northland specialty after it cools, sprinkle with green onion and coriander, fragrant and spicy, the first two masters liked to rush to eat dumplings.
"Where did you say that on such a cold day, I don't go out, how can I freeze my ears?" Nan Xiao glanced at the dumplings, his expression was still a little sad, not at all like the usual appearance of a hungry tiger pounced.
"The master is wrong in what he said, this is a tradition that has been passed down for many years in our northland, and the winter solstice must be to eat dumplings, even if it is the poor family, they all make an exception to make some vegetarian dumplings to eat." Seeing that Nan Xiao still had no intention of eating, Zhu Xin still took care of herself and put the dumplings in front of her, and finally put the dipping sauce made by Aunt Zhou in a small plate.
"If the master doesn't like it, Aunt Zhou also made fried dumplings, and there are other traps, on such a cold day, it's good to let Aunt Zhou make some sour soup dumplings."
"Okay, I'll eat it, put some fried dumplings on it, and as for the sour soup dumplings, let's make some too!" After that, Nan Xiao picked up the chopsticks, dipped them in the juice and ate them one by one.
Zhu Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nan Xiaoken eating, as long as he was willing to eat, it was good, and the master would run away from any negative emotions when he was full.
"Okay, you go and tell Aunt Zhou, the sour soup dumplings only need to be made with cabbage and pork, let the kitchen make more and everyone share it, and everyone else should retreat." After eating the two small dumplings on the plate, Nan Xiao stopped his chopsticks, and after gently wiping his lips with his hand, he commanded.
"Yes!" Zhu Xin and everyone answered and left, especially Zhu Xin, who was even happier when he heard that the master was going to eat sour soup dumplings than to get a reward, and retreated with everyone with a smile in his eyes.
It wasn't until everyone retreated that Nan Xiao picked up the chopsticks again, and accurately added them to the green vegetables and tofu, it is said that with Nan Xiao's meatless and unhappy temperament, this will not be vegetarian, but I don't know where it was wrong, the faint cyan Nan Xiao on the dumpling skin is familiar.
Eating and eating, the two lines of tears could no longer stop rushing out, Nan Xiao threw down the chopsticks like this, and couldn't stop lying on the table and crying, she didn't know how long she hadn't cried like this, she was the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, who bullied her when the old horsemen forced her to come to the mortal world, she never cried.
Even if she was alone in the middle of the region, she had never cried for countless sleepless nights, but now it was just a few green vegetable dumplings, but she couldn't hold back her crying.
