When Hengyu arrived, he first greeted Mrs. Xiao.

"Didn't you sleep well last night? His face looked a little unenergetic...... Mrs. Xiao got up and took Hengyu's hand, and said with concern: "Otherwise, we will rest here for two more days, and the road ahead of us will be in a hurry, and there will be a lot of time." ”

"No need, auntie." Heng Yu smiled: "It's about homesickness, and when I get close to the door, I can't sleep a little." ”

Mrs. Xiao suddenly laughed: "Look at my brain! Also, Ah Heng is happy to be home, but I still want to delay for two more days! ”

As he spoke, he pulled Hengyu to the table and sat down, and said, "Then you have to eat more later, and you have to replenish your spirit." ”

When the housekeeper's mother-in-law, Mama Ding, saw this, and instructed the female envoys to pass the food.

Two female envoys holding trays of food and plates came in first, and set up side dishes and porridge bowls.

Heng Yu looked at the three pairs of chopsticks on the table, and couldn't help asking, "Master Hou is also coming over?" ”

She hadn't seen him all night last night, and before she went to bed, she wondered what this person was doing in the inn last night, dealing with official business?

As soon as she said this question, she heard the voice of the female envoys saluting.

There are those who shout "Hou Ye", and there are those who call "Lang Jun", and the left and right are all the same person.

"Doesn't this mean that Cao Cao Cao has arrived?" Mrs. Xiao smiled with a sense of calmness.

Hengyu subconsciously raised his eyes.

The man who came was handsome, wearing a navy blue embroidered moire robe, his black hair was tied very neatly, and his cold face was as expressionless as before.

It's just—

“？” Heng Yu looked at a cage drawer in his hand in confusion.

Because of excessive doubts, the movements of getting up and saluting were slowed down.

Then he asked curiously: "Why did Master Hou personally bring the food?" ”

Facing those eyes, Xiao Mu pursed his lips a little uncomfortably.

He said it would be weird!

But his mother designed it this way and insisted that he bring it himself......

"Where is it just brought in person, this is hand-wrapped by Jingshi." Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Ah Heng, try his craftsmanship!" ”

Hengyu was stunned and looked at the cage in dismay.

It's really a bag......

Xiao Mu had already put the steamed bun in the position closest to her, and sat down without saying anything.

Heng Yu quietly glanced at the faint blue and black color in his eyes, and couldn't help but say: "It's hard work......

Xiao Mu picked up the chopsticks without squinting: "It's just easy." ”

I witnessed all the spring rolls last night, and at this time, I only felt that my Langjun's relaxed and casual tone revealed unknown hardships and strength.

"Ah Heng, try it......" Mrs. Xiao urged with anticipation: "Sauce meat and bamboo shoots filling." ”

"It's not." Xiao Mu immediately corrected: "...... Sauce meat mushrooms. ”

He thought the basket of bamboo shoots stuffed was too ugly to steam, and threw it to Yinhai and them together with the failed defective products in front of him.

In the end, I barely picked out this cage......

"Ah, yes, it's just a sauce meat bun anyway." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.

The spring roll was uncovered in due time, and Hengyu saw five slightly crowded buns crowded there, as if they were about to break the cage drawer—well, the dough was pretty good......

She stretched out her chopsticks and gave one to Mrs. Xiao first: "Aunt first, please." ”

Then I put one on my plate.

Xiao Muhun raised his hand to pick up a piece of sauce radish indifferently, but Yu Guang paid attention to her movements without a trace - why didn't he bite down? So unhurried, don't you wonder about his craft?

When Hengyu was about to bow his head to take a bite, he suddenly heard a female envoy say: "Madam, Shaoyan Langjun is outside asking to see." ”

She put the bun back down.

"......" Xiao Mu's heart went up and down with her action of holding the bun.

Because he heard Shao Yan coming, his mood suddenly became even more chaotic.

Even though Mrs. Xiao was already on guard, she could only smile and say, "Invite people in." ”

A moon-white figure quickly walked in under the guidance of the female envoy to give a salute.

"Ah Heng is also there—" His eyes touched the girl sitting there, and the young man's eyes were a little surprised, a little smiling.

Heng Yu nodded at him.

Shao Yan smiled a little apologetically: "I came to ask Mrs. for peace, but I didn't think about it, but I disturbed Mrs. and Master Hou for breakfast." ”

Facing the pair of eyes that were so beautiful and clear that people couldn't refuse, Mrs. Xiao said honestly against her will: "Don't disturb, don't bother, Shao Yan Langjun can have an early meal?" If you can use it in the future, why don't you sit down and eat some together? ”

She's human too!

She also likes the handsome and thoughtful Pianpian Langjun in her heart!

She thought about it all night last night......

I was tired of thinking about it, and when I was drowsy, a terrible thought even popped up in my mind - if she was Ah Heng, it must be difficult to choose, if it was both...... Wouldn't it be too outrageous?

This thought made Mrs. Xiao immediately pat herself on the cheek and force herself to come to her senses.

This is not a good idea!

After all, the world has not been so tolerant of women - where is Ah Heng in doing this?

Hey, besides, Ah Heng is not a half-hearted person like her.

Mrs. Xiao, who thought about everything she should think about and didn't think about, could only regain her confidence again and force herself to stand firm.

"That junior is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and he is cheeky." Shao Yan smiled and saluted again.

Soon, a female envoy added bowls and chopsticks, and served four bowls of shredded chicken porridge to the four of them.

"Last night, I heard Mrs. mention that Hou Ye is good at pasta, this flower roll looks quite exquisite, could it be that Hou Ye made it himself?" Shao Yan looked at the flower scroll in front of him and asked with a casual smile.

Xiao Mu glanced at the delicately shaped flower scroll, then at his bun, was silent for a moment, and finally claimed it: "...... Buns are. ”

Shao Yan looked over.

Mrs. Xiao forced a laugh and said, "The rough people in the army are not very particular about their skins...... Fortunately, the taste is not satisfactory. ”

Shao Yan nodded and said: "It can be seen that Master Hou is not informal, and on top of the food, the taste is the most important." ”

Xiao Mu was silent for a moment, and said, "It's cold today, eat it while it's hot." ”

Wang Jingyong, who was guarding the curtain, lowered his head.

How could the general ever say such a thing at a dinner table?

This is because I am afraid that my buns will be even more untasty if they are cold......

Thinking of this, Vice General Wang was inexplicably a little sad.

And Marquis Xiao, who was drinking porridge with his eyes down, still couldn't help but stare at the bun in Hengyu's plate with his spare eyes.

He had never been so concerned about the fate of a bun.

In the afterglow, the slender hand finally picked up the bun and took a bite.

Xiao Mu swallowed the porridge slightly.

She took another bite, two bites, three bites.

Then scoop a spoonful of porridge and put it in your mouth.

Xiao Mu frowned very quickly—why don't you evaluate it?

Fortunately, he was not the only one who also paid attention to the bun.

"Ah Heng, how is it?" Mrs. Xiao asked with a smile: "If something is not to your liking, say it and ask him to improve." ”

"It's all good." Heng Yu praised sincerely: "The skin is thin and soft, the filling is fragrant but not greasy, especially the sauce meat is just fat, I rarely eat such delicious sauce meat buns!" ”

Xiao Mu: ...... However, the sauce meat is ready-made, not his sauce.

However, for some reason, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, and then covered it up with the action of drinking porridge.

"Then I'm going to taste it too!" Mrs. Xiao smiled from ear to ear, also took one, and went to greet Shao Yan again: "Shao Yan Langjun also taste it, give him some pointers." ”

"I don't dare to be the guide, I am fortunate to be able to taste the steamed buns made by Xiao Jie's envoy, which is the luck of the younger generation." The young man is humble and polite, but he is not adulterated at all, and his eyes are full of sincerity.

Seeing that there was only the last bun left in the cage, Xiao Mu looked at Hengyu.

Didn't you say it was delicious?

Sensing the urging in his eyes, Heng Yu couldn't help asking, "Doesn't Master Hou eat it himself?" ”

Xiao Mu said expressionlessly: "...... No. ”

After all, in the kitchen, he really tasted a lot.

Hengyu didn't want to brush him off, and at the same time, she was glad that she was only in this cage, otherwise she would be powerless even if she wanted to appreciate it.

After eating two buns bigger than a man's fist, and drinking another bowl of porridge and some light side dishes, Heng Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Thank you, Mrs. Hou Ye for your hospitality today." After drinking tea, Shao Yan said politely: "After returning to Beijing, please allow the younger generations to do their best to be a landlord." ”

Mrs. Xiao smiled noncommittally and said, "Shao Yanlang Jun is polite. ”

"The juniors won't bother." When Shao Yan got up to say goodbye, he looked at Hengyu: "Ah Heng, do you want to go back?" ”

Hengyu, who had already put down the teacup and was about to leave, nodded.

"Mother, I still have some official duties to take care of, so I'll quit first." Xiao Mu stood up.

Mrs. Xiao, who just wanted to look at him, nodded with a smile and a look of relief.

So the three of them left the place together.

"I often hear the name of Xiao Jie's envoy in the lower Jingshi, and this time I only feel that it is better than the rumors." On the way, Shao Yan said: "In the previous letters, Ah Heng often mentioned that Xiao Jie took care of her, like an elder. ”

Xiao Mu's feet were slightly sluggish, and he looked at Hengyu without a trace.

Like an elder?

Heng Yu coughed lightly: "That's true." ”

It was a letter she had written back a long time ago, and at that time it was also to reassure her family and His Highness, and because he did call himself an uncle, she wrote it casually.

Xiao Mu was noncommittal, looked ahead, and said: "Speaking of Laiji, the painter also mentioned Shao Yan Langjun——"

"Oh? What did Heng say about me? Shao Yan looked at Hengyu with a smile.

"Master Ji said that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yongyang and Shaoyan Langjun are very important to her, although they are not related by blood, they are like family." Xiao Mu said.

The smile on Shao Yan's lips was stunned for a moment, and he returned to nature.

"Ah Heng and I grew up together since childhood, not family, but we have long been better than family."

Xiao Mu: "It is not easy to get this kind of kinship in life, and it should be cherished. ”

Shao Yan nodded, looked at Hengyu, and nodded seriously: "Yes, I will definitely cherish it." ”

Hengyu, who was walking between the two, listened to this conversation one after another, and was a little suffocated.

Fortunately, there are forks in the road ahead, one of which leads to the study that Xiao Mu temporarily used to deal with official business.

"Ah Heng, I brought a few new albums from Beijing——"

"I have something to discuss with you—"

The two looked at Hengyu almost at the same time and spoke at the same time.

"......" Hengyu turned his head to look at the two people on the left and right in turn.
