Chapter 3 The Past of the Wu Family
Just as Wu Ling was frantically chopping the black locust tree, a girl in red clothes was walking up along the path in the forest.
She had fiery red hair and fiery eyes, and in the gloomy gray shade of the trees, she was as brilliant and dazzling as a burning flame.
With a round face, big eyes, two small braids, swaying from side to side as she walked, she was wearing a bubble short-sleeved white skirt and a black sleeveless vest on the outside.
She walked over quietly, looked at the chess game that had ended, and looked at Wu Ling, who kept swinging her sword, a trace of distress crossed her eyes, she didn't say anything to stop it, but felt that this was a rare opportunity, so that Wu Ling, who was used to being strong on weekdays, could release the emotions in her heart.
When Wu Ling was tired and lay down on the petals of the acacia flowers on the ground, she walked over gently, next to him, and slowly lay down, wiping the sweat on his cheeks with her hands little by little.
"Brother Wu Ling, do you remember what day it is?" The girl asked expectantly.
Wu Ling looked at the sky with dull eyes and shook his head.
The girl was lost for a while, and comforted herself in her heart: "Brother Ling has to practice hard every day, and it is normal to forget my birthday." ”
"You wait for me." Wu Ling suddenly got up and walked into the wooden house.
A small amount of smoke soon rose from the hut.
After a while, Wu Ling walked out with a bowl of longevity noodles.
The girl pouted: "Didn't you say you didn't know?" ”
"How could you forget!" Wu Ling put the noodles on the stone table, walked up and rubbed her hair, and pulled her up from the ground.
Then, the two sat opposite each other, waiting for each other, as if a life-and-death battle was about to begin.
The girl put her head up first and said, "The old rule, one person eats one end, the mouth is fast and the mouth is slow, and whoever eats less will wash the dishes." ”
Wu Ling also put his head up and said, "Who is afraid of whom!" ”
Then, the two of them each took one end of a noodle in their mouths and frantically sucked it into their mouths, and the noodles in the bowl became less and less, until finally they had completely bottomed out, leaving only less than half a meter of noodles straightened between them.
Then the two heads got closer and closer, constantly moving closer to the middle, and the red dot marked in the middle of the noodles was the key to their victory.
At present, the two are equal, and the remaining distance is the same, if you want to eat the red dot, I'm afraid that the two of them will kiss or not.
Sure enough, just when the tips of the noses of the two were about to touch each other, the winner had not yet been decided.
Wu Ling suddenly bit off the noodles lightly, retracted his head, and pretended to be regretful and said, "Hey, I lost again!" ”
The girl gave him a roll of the eye and said displeasedly, "Are you afraid to kiss me?" It's so boring to do this on purpose every year! ”
Wu Ling touched his head in embarrassment, and immediately explained: "No, no, I really bit it off accidentally." ”
The old man came out of the wooden house at this time, and said with a smile: "You two, every year you celebrate your birthday like getting married!" This man and woman eat a noodle together, it is the custom of the bride and groom when they get married, from the two ends to the middle, it means that the two are one, forever, you two children eat like this, and you are not afraid of letting people see the joke! ”
The girl blushed and forcibly explained: "Grandpa Wu, you know that Wu'er has a small appetite, and I can't finish this bowl of noodles." ”
"Really?" The old man suddenly took out a plate of braised carp from behind him, and immediately the fragrance of the food wafted away, and the smell made people's appetite move, and said, "Then do you still have an appetite for these dishes I made?" ”
"Yes, yes!"
The girl immediately compromised, if there was one thing in this world that she couldn't resist, it must be the old man's cooking!
"Xiao Wu, I came from the city early in the morning, I've worked hard, eat more."
At the dinner table, the old man kept serving vegetables to the girl, and poured himself a glass of wine.
The girl replied while burying her head in the dishes: "It's not hard, it's the happiest thing to see Grandpa Wu and Brother Ling!" Grandpa Wu, why are your dishes so delicious! Even my chef can't compare to you. ”
"Those of your family are also worthy of being called chefs?" As soon as the old man drank wine, he talked a little too much, and said, "No one dares to call himself a chef in front of me, I used to be the Pope's royal chef!" ”
"Ahh The girl looked surprised and begged, "Grandpa Wu, tell me about your family's past, Wu'er wants to know." ”
"Okay." After a few glasses of wine, the old man had completely become a chatterbox, and said: "Although our Wu family is not a noble family, it has passed down a good cooking skill from generation to generation, and opened a restaurant in the central city, and the business is extremely hot!" In my grandfather's generation, one day an old man suddenly came to the store, he ate a few dishes and praised his grandfather's craftsmanship, and the next day, his grandfather was called into the Holy See, and he learned that the old man was actually the Pope!
From then on, the grandfather remained in the Holy See, where he was in charge of the Pope's diet until his death. My father took over his duties, and then he passed it over to me, and I joined the Holy See at the age of twenty and cooked for the Pope for more than ten years. ”
"Why didn't you do it later?" The girl was curious.
"Because of Ling'er's father." The old man poured another glass of wine, and his tone suddenly became depressed, this is what the Qianxue family is defined as a 'shame', and it is also a past that he doesn't want to recall, but it is rare to have such a good audience today, he can talk freely, so he said:
"Ling'er's father, Chenfeng, was born a very smart child, although he was a little eccentric and mischievous when he was a child, he learned everything quickly, and he learned all my cooking skills at the age of twelve.
If that's all there is, I should be gratified, but in addition to learning the craft quickly, that kid has also shown great interest and talent in soul refining, how can we be a civilian family to cultivate a soul refiner, so we haven't taken this matter to heart.
I shouldn't have invited my friend Braden, whom I knew in the Holy See, to my home as a guest, so that he would take a fancy to Dustwind's qualifications at a glance, insist on taking him as an apprentice and bring him to the 'Divine Soul Academy' for further study.
It was there that Dusty Wind met Ling'er's mother-Qianxueji, and all the tragedies began at that time, Qianxue's family is a first-class nobleman in Central City, and Qianxueji is the most valued one among her peers, with her identity, it stands to reason that it is impossible to have anything to do with Dustwind, but these two are in love!
The love between nobles and commoners has always been regarded as the most shameful thing by nobles, and it is conceivable that when the Qianxue family learned the news, they were so angry that they did not hesitate to use all means to break up the two.
But the true love is hard to dismantle, the more this is the case, the deeper the love between the two becomes, and even promise each other for life and to death!
In the end, Chiyukihime was expelled from the family, and was expelled from the academy along with Dustwind. ”
"What kind of person is Aunt Yukihime?" The girl asked.
She was very curious about what kind of woman dared to do anything for love, and even abandoned the glory and wealth and betrayed the family.
"Xue Ji is a very good child, both sensible and kind, and very filial to me, and is recognized as the first talented woman in Canterlot at that time, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even my proud chess skills have been defeated in her hands. Because of this, the fact that she fell in love with Dusty Wind caused so much turmoil and attention later. ”
"Hey, God is really unfair, why can't you be nicer to your lover?" The girl also lamented when she heard this.
"The fault is that they are too persistent, and they want to do it when they know they can't."
