Chapter 20: He Can Cook
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Shen Qing was taken aback, and his eyes widened.
"Let me ask you that." Beichen said without changing his face, turned around and walked to the desk, looked around, what could he do for her to eat?
"I'm hungry...... Why don't you call me for dinner. Shen Qing said with some grievances, she really didn't know, she couldn't afford anyone at that time.
"How much alcohol did you drink? Drunk like that. Beichen had already put the flour in a basin, and then mixed it with water.
"It's not much, just a pot."
"One pot, it's not much." Beichen said, applying a thin layer of oil to the kneaded dough, and took a small basin and buckled it.
"Are you going to cook for me?" Shen Qing knew that he had asked a nonsense, but he really didn't know what to say. The man cooking in front of her was glowing, she was stunned, what else could she think of.
"What do you think, ma'am?" After a pause, Beichen commanded Shen Qing again, "Help me choose the green vegetables." ”
"Good"
The two of them worked together to finally make a bowl of egg noodles, although Shen Qing only had the strength to choose vegetables and wash them. The first bite of the noodles is sent in, the noodles are smooth and the eggs are tender, but is this complex taste of sweet and salty egg noodles supposed to have?
Although the struggle between Shen Qing's eyebrows and eyes was fleeting, it did not escape Beichen's eyes, "Isn't it the right taste?" ”
First of all, Shen Qing was very hungry, and secondly, she really couldn't refute Beichen's face, and she looked expectant and waiting for praise, "It's delicious." Shen Qing said and sucked off most of the bowl of noodles, and the rest was really powerless, she was not a person without a sense of taste.
Beichen saw that she ate so much, and nodded contentedly, he hadn't cooked a few times seriously, it tasted really good? Seeing that she no longer continued to eat, she asked again, "Have you eaten well?" It's not like you're eating. ”
"It's too late to eat much. I'm sorry to trouble you to cook for me so late. Shen Qinggan replied with a smile, she didn't want to disturb others, but in the end, Mu Beichen was busy working here, although the taste was indescribable, she still had a grateful heart.
Beichen saw that there was still something left in the bowl, thinking that he would taste it himself, and just sent a bite in, his eyebrows immediately twisted into a ball, this taste is too complicated, it must have just been careless to add more sugar and salt, she actually ate so much.
"It's so unpalatable, why don't you say it, and you eat so much, it's okay, right?" The more Beichen said, the more ugly his face became, the horse stumbled, did he help her or hurt her.
"It's okay, I'm serious, it's okay." Shen Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled at Beichen innocently. "By the way, why didn't you sleep?"
"I guess I knew you were going to come looking for something to eat, and suddenly I woke up." Beichen Yun said lightly, he definitely didn't follow when he heard the voice.
When these words reached Shen Qing's ears, he hurriedly turned around and stammered: "I'm full, you... Go to sleep. ”
"Madame slept all afternoon, can she still sleep?" Beichen did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Can't sleep......"
"Let's go up there and talk?" Beichen said and pointed to the roof.
"Okay" Shen Qingying is also refreshing, it is better to have someone to chat with than to stare at yourself until dawn, besides, she and Mu Beichen don't seem to have a serious chat, and the two of them turned around and jumped onto the ridge.
"What are you talking about?" Shen Qing is not good at opening topics, chatting for the sake of chatting, and he can't pull out a topic unless he pulls it out.
"Let's talk about us, it's been half a month since we got married."
This is difficult for Shen Qing, he was ordered to get married, she was forced to go to Liangshan by Dimi, the marriage between the two is not a matter of course, you love me, what is there to say.
Beichen saw that she didn't speak for a while, bit her cheek, and paused before asking, "Are you still used to it?" ”
"Habit, I think it's good here." Shen Qing replied without thinking, it was not that she was flattering, compared to dealing with all kinds of people in the palace, this Mu Mansion with a simple structure was indeed more comfortable.
"It's good to get used to it, it's a lifelong thing." Beichen said meaningfully.
For a lifetime, these three words are too heavy.
"Do you want to consider accepting a concubine room, I heard that everyone else is a group of wives and concubines, but you are also a general, I took the initiative to mention this matter, and the old man of the emperor will not have an opinion." Shen Qing's inappropriate words came out, Beichen's face immediately darkened, and he said a little excitedly: "Others are others, I am me, besides, our Mu family has no such precedent." "It's not that women are jealous, she offered to take a concubine for him, but after all, she was reluctant to accept this marriage.
"If you don't want to marry, you don't want to marry, what are you so excited about." Shen Qing looked disgusted, but he was a little moved in his heart, after getting along these days, Mu Beichen is indeed a man who can't find fault. Think about the tragic heroines in the novel, and the men you meet are either heartfelt, ruthless, or amorous...... If she just woke up and crossed over here, nine times out of ten she would have been from Mu Beichen, and she wouldn't have dreamed of such a beautiful thing, but she was coerced and came to him with a purpose.
"You and I are not ordinary couples, and they can be solved with a piece of paper and a book." Beichen still said the words in his heart, his pupils were empty, and he looked a little depressed.
"What nonsense, who wants to leave the book? I am sympathetic to you, I don't want to marry Ladown, but don't mention the matter of concubines in the future. Shen Qing pretended to be angry and said, she knew that Ning Ke hanged himself for Kuixian, and everyone knew that Mu Beichen would be in trouble if he did it.
When she said this, she was a little jealous of her daughter-in-law.
"I understand Madame's good intentions, and as for compassion, it's better to practice it." Mu Beichen said and moved his body towards Shen Qing, his solid arm passed behind her, and he took Shen Qing into his arms as if he was hugging his buddy and brother.
Shen Qing didn't struggle, the wind at night was cool, so the temperature was just right. The two of them didn't speak for a while, and they kept this position, and time seemed to stand still.
Shen Qing's inability to chat often shows that he doesn't open which pot to mention, "I went to the Phantom Rain Pavilion a while ago just to find a concubine for you, and I spent a lot of silver, and before I mentioned this matter, I ran out halfway to make trouble, so wronged." ”
"You're not wronged at all, it's good to buy a lesson." Beichen rolled his eyes unabashedly, and after a moment, he returned to seriousness and said with a serious face: "That Mo Yuhuai is a nail. ”
"He's a little gangster, can he still stir up the sky?" When it came to that Mo Yuhuai, Shen Qing was angry, if Mu Beichen hadn't suddenly appeared, she would definitely blow up that scoundrel's head.
"It's not early, let's go back and rest." Beichen saw that the clouds above were getting thicker and thicker, as if it was going to rain, and he no longer mentioned Mo Yuhuai's matter, urging Shen Qing to return to his room.
Shen Qing responded with a hello, picked up Mu Beichen's palm and threw it aside, and jumped off the roof flexibly. Beichen followed and said thoughtfully, "Let's talk about your kung fu next time." ”
As usual, Shen Qing went back to the bedroom, Mu Beichen went to the study, and flirted with his wife by hooking his shoulders and back.
