Chapter 52: Where to Protect

"Mama is trying to cook my kitchen?"

After coming back to her senses, Mama Lian hurriedly stepped on the spark on the ground, and said in embarrassment: "Old slave ......"

"If Mama has anything to say, just say it, you and I have nothing to see." Lian Huaying said as she flipped over the fresh meat dumplings in the pot with chopsticks.

"It's nothing, it's just ...... Madame does it seem a little strange to Miss? Mama Lian asked cautiously.

The latter was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "What's strange about Xiao'er?" ”

"The old slave can't say it, but it feels ......"

"Hurry up, take a look, isn't this dumpling good?"

Without waiting for her to think about it, Lian Huaying's hurried voice came into her ears.

Looking sideways, the big white and chubby meat dumplings in the pot scrambled to emerge in the effect of boiling water.

Even Mama was busy and orderly, first extinguishing the fire in the stove steadily, and then began to skillfully use the pot and spoon to hold dumplings.

"It smells so good." Lian Huaying picked up a dumpling and sent it to her, "Look, Mama, this one is made by me." ”

"Yes, the dumplings made by Madame are the best-looking." Mama Lian had a loving smile on her face.

She stared at the smile on her wife's face because of a dumpling, as if they had returned to their previous days in the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, Lian Huaying was neither anyone's wife nor anyone's mother, she was just a third princess, a carefree ...... But she always thinks about going out of the palace to be a chivalrous princess.

At that time, he was not the champion of the Xia Yu Dynasty, nor was he a famous general on the border, let alone the first person she rescued her......

However, he was her first and only man to wash her hands and make soup.

It's just that there is a dilemma in the world, and if one party is fulfilled, the other party must be disappointed......

"Okay, don't worry about it, Xiao'er is kind, smart and cute, isn't it very similar to when I was a child?" Seeing that Mama Lian was distracted, Lian Huaying thought that she was still thinking about Xiao Huang.

"Miss's previous temperament was indeed similar to that of Madame."

Mama Lian muttered, then smiled and said, "The old slave was just thinking about what Madame looked like when she made dumplings for the first time." ”

"It's been so long, do you remember?"

"Madame's business, the old slave remembers it." She reminisced: "At that time, the dumplings made by the lady could only be made into meat patties in the end. ”

"Is it that bad?" Someone pursed her mouth like a child, and then she waved her hand and said quite proudly: "But that's all in the past, Mrs. Ben's current cooking skills are improving by leaps and bounds." ”

Even Mama didn't say a word, if anyone who has only loved making dumplings in the past ten years, then in the word "dumplings", the craftsmanship will indeed not be bad.

"Oh, don't talk about it, the soup will be cold if you keep chattering." After Lian Huaying finished packing, she immediately fastened the lid of the food box, "Mama, hurry up and take the dumplings to the side hall, don't forget to call Li Yun and Xiao Er." ”

Mama Lian took the basket and said in surprise: "Isn't Madame going?" ”

"I'll clean up the stove and come over." Lian Huaying rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.

"How can I let the lady do this, leave it to the maid ......"

"Okay, okay, grandma, you can go, I'm not a little princess who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, this little thing won't be difficult for me."

She pushed Mama Lian out of the door, and she could still hear "That lady, be careful, don't hurt your hands, and keep the things that you don't pick up......"

The sound of the command gradually faded away, Lian Huaying leaned against the window, and the smile on her face was blown away little by little by the wind and smoke.

She looked at the fire in the stove hole that was about to be extinguished, and muttered: "Xiao'er, what should my mother do, this is already the second person to say...... You don't look like her anymore. ”

————————————

The afterglow of the sunset in the west mountains is no longer so dazzling, but Ruochen, who is standing under the white sky again, still subconsciously blocks it.

But in a second, she withdrew her hand again, opened her eyes wide, and tried to see the grass on the ground, the green leaves on the trees, and the bricks and tiles on the roof...... Feeling the temperature of light and heat is like being in a dream.

At that time, there was a sound of the cellar door locking in her ears, and she turned around, still a little incredulous, "You...... Are you really willing to let us go? ”

Xiao Huang pulled out the key and took a few steps forward without hurrying, "The January period has not passed, the antidote that person gave you, you should still have leftover, there are ingredients in the pill with conflicting properties, and continuing to take it is harmful to Ruofeng." ”

After speaking, she handed out a folded piece of paper, "The last course of medicine, after three days of decoction, the residual poison in your sister's body can be completely cleared." ”

Conflict? Hearing these two words, Ruochen was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, "He is actually lying to me!" "The poison of the emotional little sister has not been solved for a long time, and this is the reason.

After taking the signing paper, she suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Huang, "Miss, the slave is sorry for you." ”

Ruochen held the life-saving prescription tightly in his hand, and felt such a strong guilt in his heart for the first time.

It turned out that Xiao Huang had been secretly detoxifying her little sister for a long time, so her behavior of trying her best but only seeking a moment of stability for her little sister was not all revenge?

"Miss, Mama Lian asked the slave to come...... Huh, Ruochen? ”

Before the words subsided, Ruofeng's voice suddenly rose eight degrees, "Ruochen, what's wrong with you?" Whoever bullies you, I'll beat him up! ”

The person who suddenly appeared frightened Ruochen, and in a moment of surprise, her hand was faster than her brain, and she grabbed the person who wanted to vent for her, "Little sister? ”

"Huh? Ruochen, didn't you say...... "You are not allowed to be called sisters outside?"

Ruofeng thought that she had forgotten, so she immediately pursed her lips and quietly turned Nu Xiaohuang in the direction, wanting to remind her sister who was rare to have "big nerves".

But before she finished her small movements, she was interrupted by a hug, "Little sister, you're okay, you're okay, it's really good, it's great." ”

"What if...... Sister, what's wrong with you? Feeling the wetness on his shoulders, Ruofeng couldn't care about Xiao Huang's presence, and said nervously: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me. ”

Ruochen let go of her, raised his hand and wiped his face indiscriminately, "It's okay, my sister is just too happy." ”

"Happy?"

Ruofeng looked at the person in front of him for a long time, his face was dirty, his hair was messy, his clothes were messy, and there were straw clippings stuck to his body...... Even in exile, she had never seen such a "chaotic" sister.

Ruochen also looked at Ruofeng, and saw that her sister was safe and sound, her expression was clear, and there was not the slightest trace of torture on her body, not only that, but she seemed to be ...... I have no idea what has happened in the past few days.

In the snap of her fingers, the sourness in Ruochen's heart that had not subsided rose again, she pulled Ruofeng to Xiao Huang, knelt down again, and said: "Miss is so kind, the slave and maid have nothing to repay, I implore the young lady to leave the two slaves and maids, and I am willing to be driven by the young lady in this life." ”

Xiao Huang glanced at the two people in front of him indifferently, Ruofeng still looked like the second monk was confused.

And Ruochen, except for the haggard face, the slightly dirty skirt...... The others don't seem to be any different than usual.

If they weren't hostile to each other, she might have put Ruochen to good use, but ......

"As I said, it's just a business, an equal exchange, mutual benefit for both sides, and you don't owe me anything."

She turned, "Don't think too well of me, let you go, it's my last mercy left for you." ”

"Sister."

Ruofeng called out uneasily, she didn't understand what Xiao Huang was talking about, and she didn't understand why Ruochen allowed herself to call her sister, but she could feel that her sister was very sad at the moment.

"Don't worry, my sister is fine."

Turning his eyes to look at his sister who was still ignorant and carefree, Ruochen's mood was much calmer unconsciously.

She smiled and touched Ruofeng's bun, took off a log hairpin between her hands, gently placed it on the ground, and then bowed silently to the front.

After doing all this, she decisively got up and pulled Ruofeng away......

After a few sighs, Xiao Huang looked in the direction of the cellar, "Still not coming out yet?" Don't you get enough of the smell of straw? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a head slowly sticking out from behind the cellar door, "Hehe, Miss, you found me." ”

A pair of crooked smiling eyes in the field of vision made someone unconsciously pull the corners of his mouth, "Well, come out." ”

"Oh." Xiao Xiang patted the grass clippings on her body, and muttered rather dejectedly: "I didn't hide it in the right place this time." ”

"The hidden method is precious in your own body, and your position is secondary, you must remember to adjust the rate of breathing next time, and ......"

Xiao Huang paused, seeming a little helpless, "Don't keep your eyes on other people's eyes." ”

"Why is that?" Xiao Xiang stared wide-eyed, puzzled.

"Humans are primates, and they are sensitive to the touch and perception of strangeness, not to mention the aggressive gaze."

Just like the so-called sixth sense of women in later generations, which is too accurate to explain by science, that kind of innate acuity is actually possessed in every primate, and the difference is only in strength and weakness.

"Mm-hmm, Xiaoxiang remembers."

Patting off the grass clippings on her dress, she took a few steps past Xiao Huang, picked up the log hairpin on the ground and looked at it, and said suspiciously: "It's so strange." ”

"Strange...... Xiao Huang turned his head when he heard the voice, and his voice stopped abruptly when he saw the wooden hairpin in Xiao Xiang's hand.

Not noticing her different color, Xiao Xiang turned her head and asked, "Miss, isn't this the wooden hairpin that Ruofeng has been wearing, what is Ruochen doing with it on the ground?" ”

"Perhaps...... She made up for it. Xiao Huang glanced thoughtfully at the wooden hairpin.

"Make amends?" Xiao Xiang nodded as if she didn't understand, and then, she hesitated a little and said, "Why didn't Miss keep them?" ”

"Why should I keep them?"

"Because they know that they are wrong, Madame used to say, if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good at ......" Before she finished speaking, Xiaoxiang shook her head and shook her head violently.

Because the phrase "knowing mistakes can be changed, and being good is great" is a "spell" that Miss will hear every time after she gets into trouble, as long as Mrs. finishes her thoughts, Miss is like an eggplant beaten by frost, so she can annoy others to say these words.

Xiao Xiang suddenly looked at Xiao Huang a little nervously, but the next moment, she suddenly ...... There is no "cross-waisted glare" in the impression, and there is only an indifferent face in front of him.

That's true, but ...... If you don't change your mistakes before, you don't need to take responsibility? ”

It's no wonder that Xiaoxiang proposed to keep them, in fact, in terms of personality alone, Ruofeng and her could have become very compatible friends, but they just made people, and from the beginning, their positions were different.

Stop at a shallow talk, but how can you make a deep relationship? Let Ruochen Ruofeng leave is the most peaceful solution at present.

Xiao Huang was a little serious, "How much did you listen to standing outside the door just now?" ”

Does Miss mean the conversation between her and Ruochen?

Xiao Xiang couldn't help but feel a little cramped, "Almost...... I heard it all. ”

"Since this is the case, then you should understand that the General's Mansion and them have never been on the same front, and the people who are not good for the General's Mansion ......"

Xiao Huang paused, and after a few seconds, she said, "Xiaoxiang, I am not as kind to the enemy as you think. ”
