Chapter 17 Chestnut Roast Meat
- The whole city?!
Li Jingnan has already left the city, and if he can't find anyone in the city, will he be suspicious?
Hua Qingxue's face turned white, and she subconsciously refused: "Don't dare to bother the ...... of thousands of households."
"Aren't you worried about your sister?" Qi Liancheng squinted at her.
Hua Qingxue only felt that his expression seemed to know something, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and he replied with difficulty: "Worried...... It's worry, it's just this kind of housework, I don't dare to make the thousands of households tired......"
"It's just a matter of passing." Qi Liancheng leaned lazily on the edge of the table and said, "It just so happens that the suspect who is being arrested recently is about the same age as your sister, maybe one day your sister will be arrested as a prisoner?" ”
Hua Qingxue listened to what he said, and her heart was pounding!
She even suspected that this man had said it to her on purpose!
Ordinary people don't know about the arrest of the prince, and they can only know from the Liao soldiers' strict search and arrest operations that the Liao soldiers have started to arrest people again, but now Qi Liancheng directly told her that the person to be arrested is an eight or nine-year-old child! Anyone who listens to it will feel strange, right?!
Was he testing her?
Hua Qingxue bit her lip, pretended not to understand, and replied in a low voice: "Little sister is naughty, maybe she went to a relative's house to hide, I will ask someone to look for it these days, and I will find it, so I won't trouble adults......"
Qi Liancheng said slowly: "Yes, the city gates have been closed, where can your sister run, as long as she is in this city, she will find it sooner or later...... Unless, she's not in the city at all, right? ”
Hua Qingxue chuckled in her heart, so nervous that she held her breath and didn't dare to gasp!
She was almost certain that Qi Liancheng must be testing her!
Why would he tempt her? …… Could it be that he had been suspicious for a long time?
Hua Qingxue was terrified again! Rejoicing again!
I'm afraid because Qi Liancheng is too smart! Cunning and sharp, it is impossible to guard against it!
Fortunately, it is because Li Jingnan has already left the city! If I stay a few more days, I'm afraid I'll really get caught!
"Why don't you speak?" Qi Liancheng suddenly asked.
"I ...... I'm just worried about ......" Hua Qingxue was flustered and confused, desperately thinking of excuses, "What should I do if I can't find my sister in the city......"
Qi Liancheng looked at her fixedly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, "Yes, if you can't find it in the city, what should you do?" ”
Hua Qingxue hung her head, not daring to raise her head, nor daring to speak.
At this time, it is more wrong to say more.
Qi Liancheng saw that she looked timid and afraid, and she didn't feel sorry for her, so she waved her hand casually and said, "Okay, there's nothing for you here, go back." ”
Hua light snow is like an amnesty! didn't dare to show half a point on his face, still with a wooden face, and cautiously withdrew-
As soon as she went out, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that Qi Liancheng would think of something to ask again, so she hurriedly pulled the cart and left the yamen!
The wheels rushed over the ground at a rapid pace, gurgling and making a dry sound. Hua Qingxue hurried all the way to the restaurant, and the panic in her heart finally calmed down.
She returned the cart to the restaurant, went home full of worries, and secretly comforted herself: Maybe she was thinking too much? He didn't have any evidence, maybe he just wanted to cheat her, as long as she didn't show her cowardice first, don't be weak-hearted, he had no other way......
After all, he doesn't have proof, does he?
The suspicion is only because of the similar age, but such a child has gone to Renqiu City!
As for the so-called portrait of the prince, it doesn't say anything at all!
Hua Qingxue thought as she walked, and she didn't come back to her senses until a human wall was blocked in front of her.
raised his head blankly and saw Fu Tingye standing at the door with a serious face, looking at her fixedly.
Well, in fact, she didn't know if Fu Tingye's expression was serious at all, because his beard was so vigorous that she couldn't see it at all......
Anyway, he looks very serious every day.
"Where have you been today?" Fu Tingye looked behind her and asked.
Fu Tingye's movements may just be a habit of vigilance, but it shocked Hua Qingxue's heart!
Because she immediately realized how careless she was! If Qi Liancheng deliberately let himself go just now, and then quietly followed to find the whereabouts of the prince, wouldn't Fu Tingye and her residence be exposed?!
"Am I being followed?!" Hua Qingxue turned her head to look behind her, and asked in a panic.
Fu Tingye frowned, "No." ”
Hua Qingxue's tense expression was relieved at this time, and she gently patted the position of her heart, and replied: "I went to Yamen today and sent the clothes of the Liao soldiers over. ”
She directly skipped that she was sexually harassed in the yamen, and when she thought of Qi Liancheng's weird questions, she was uneasy in the end, and lowered her head and pulled Fu Tingye into the door-
Fu Tingye frowned and looked at his cuffs that were pulled by the woman.
He was trying to remind her of the so-called intimateness between men and women...... Hua Qingxue had already let go, and Ben turned around and closed the courtyard door and bolted it.
She looked at Fu Tingye with a nervous face, and said, "I met a Liao soldier in Yamen, this person used to see the prince, and I lied that the prince was my sister at that time, but just now, I ...... He said a few words to me, and I always felt as if he was suspicious of me. ”
Fu Tingye's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "What did he say?" ”
Hua Qingxue told Fu Tingye what she said in the yamen word by word, for fear that she had missed something, and took out the chilblain cream sent by Qi Liancheng to Fu Tingye.
"He also gave me this and told me to put it on once a night before bed." Hua Qingxue asked anxiously, "Will he find out anything?" ”
Fu Tingye held the bottle of chilblain cream thoughtfully.
He looked at Hua Qingxue, who looked nervous, and sighed secretly, suddenly feeling a little soft-hearted inexplicably......
It is not easy for a woman to come back safely after dealing with the Liao soldiers...... Why bother with her?
Thinking like this, his tone softened a little, "You don't have to worry too much, he's just cheating you, since you said that the person has just been promoted to a thousand households, and this official position has not yet been secured, unless the evidence is conclusive, how can he care about checking you?" ”
Fu Tingye said, handing back the bottle of chilblain cream.
Hua Qingxue stretched out her hand to take it.
Fu Tingye deliberately paid attention to her hand, he hadn't paid attention to it before, but he felt shocked when he saw it today.
He had seen wounds more terrible than chilblains in the wounded barracks, and he had never felt anything, but Hua Qingxue's small hands with fine skin and tender flesh were covered with red, swollen and cracked wounds, which made him feel a tingling in his eyes.
"This medicine is indeed a good medicine, and he didn't lie to you about that." Fu Tingye said, "Don't get wet for the time being these days." ”
Hua Qingxue smiled slightly, a little unimpressed in her heart.
How is it possible not to get wet? Wash every day, brush pots and dishes, wash vegetables and cook rice, which point does not get wet?
At most, be careful when doing things.
But after returning home, the mood is completely different, maybe because of Fu Tingye's relationship, compared to being outside just now, she is much more relieved now.
Hua Qingxue walked to the kitchen and asked, "What do you want to eat today?" It's a pity that those chestnuts are left in the firewood room, so it's better to use them to make chestnut roast meat, general...... Uh, no...... Xianggong, have you ever eaten chestnut roast pork? ”
Fu Tingye replied in a low voice: "Feel free." With that, he walked to the well and bent down to fetch water.
So Hua Qingxue really thought about how to make chestnut roast meat.
After a while, Fu Tingye smelled the smell of meat wafting out of the kitchen, accompanied by the unique aroma of chestnuts, which made people's appetite move when they smelled.
He glanced at the kitchen in surprise, and a slender figure was busy inside.
It's not that he hasn't eaten Hua Qingxue's cooking in the past few days, and he also has a general understanding of her cooking skills, frankly speaking, it belongs to the kind of level that can cook food, and he can't expect how it tastes at all, but Fu Tingye is not a picky eater, and in addition, Hua Qingxue is not the cook he invited, so he didn't want to criticize her too much.
It's just that I didn't expect that Hua Qingxue would really make chestnut roast pork.
Maybe it's too early to tell, let's wait until she's done......
After Hua Qingxue put a plate of fragrant chestnut roast pork in front of him, Fu Tingye tasted it-
It tastes superb!
He couldn't help but ask his heart: "How can you do this?" ”
Hua Qingxue's bright eyes looked at Fu Tingye, "I just remember the recipe of chestnut roast pork, and it's very simple to follow the recipe." What do you think? Is it tasty? I just tasted it in the kitchen and it feels pretty good! ”
Fu Tingye bowed, "Well, that's good." ”
Hua Qingxue laughed happily, different from the subtle smile of everyone's beautiful girlfriends, Hua Qingxue smiled very ...... It is particularly bright, like the warm spring light in winter, giving people a moment of amazement.
Fu Tingye was momentarily distracted, and felt that she was very happy when she laughed, as if she could attract others to be happy......
- Bang, bang, bang!
The sudden and rapid knock on the door woke up the two people at the dinner table!
The two of them looked at the courtyard door together, and the sound of banging on the door continued, anxious and heavy! Accompanied by the Liao soldiers' loud muttering: "Open the door!" Open the door! Routine search! ”
Fu Tingye glanced at Hua Qingxue, got up and walked into the house.
Hua Qingxue knew that he was supposed to "dress" himself, so he took a deep breath and walked out.
She was afraid that Fu Tingye would not have enough time, so she slowed down her pace, but the Liao soldiers' knocking on the door became more and more urgent! The wooden door panel kept clattering, as if they would knock it open at any moment!
As soon as Hua Qingxue opened the door, the Liao soldiers led by her shouted at her in broken official words: "What door is closed in broad daylight?!" Is it harboring a suspect?! ”
Then he rushed in regardless of a litter of people! It's like last time, looting and destroying!
These people are not like soldiers, but more like bandits! As long as you fancy any suspicious place, you will smash it! Then he left very quickly and moved on to the next family.
What was left for Hua Qingxue was a house that seemed to be swept by a violent wind and rain.
She sighed, returned to the hall, and saw that there was only an empty plate of chestnut roast pork on the table, and her mood became more and more depressed......
It's rare to cook successfully, and I haven't even had time to eat two bites......
At this time, Fu Tingye came out of the back room, looked at the plate on the table, and comforted her: "There are still a lot of chestnuts at home, just make another plate." ”
Hua Qingxue has long been accustomed to men's indifference and rationality, but she picked up the plate with some disappointment and muttered, "But there is no meat anymore......"
