Chapter 172: The Woman in the Fishing Net

Fu Jiuqu said it lightly, but everyone was slightly stunned when he heard it.

You look at me, I look at you, the gaze is strange and complicated.

Fu Jiuqu called Sun Huai casually.

"Take Ernian to wash your hands."

Sun Huai responded and went down with two thoughts.

With Fu Jiuqu here, everyone was a little nervous, and the courtyard seemed too quiet.

When Xin Yi washed his hands and came out, he saw Yi Nian sitting next to Fu Jiuqu, went up and touched his head, and looked at Fu Jiuqu with a smile, "Eat, what are you doing in a daze?" What about Grandpa Sun, why don't you come to wait for the king of the county to eat? ”

Yi Nian looked up, "We're waiting for you." ”

Xin Yi was stunned, "Wait for me?" ”

She glanced at the table under the eaves and smiled.

"I'll just eat over there."

Xin Yi is not a person with a concept of dignity and inferiority, so no matter what she eats in the shop, she treats everyone equally, but she also respects the customs of the Song people, and understands Fu Jiuqu's quirks, he will never eat at the same table with others, so she specially prepared a table for him.

The three children are his sons and nephews, and it is reasonable to eat with him, as long as he himself does not dislike it, Xin Yi has no opinion.

Unexpectedly, after listening to her words, Fu Jiuqu frowned.

"You sit down together."

Xin Yi was surprised and looked at the people in the courtyard.

"This ...... Not suitable, right? ”

Fu Jiuqu's face sank a little, and he looked a little unhappy.

"If you don't sit down, who will take care of the children?"

"They have hands and feet, and they can eat themselves......

"Let you sit down, why do you talk so much?"

“……”

This day is neither hot nor cold, and eating hot pot is the most comfortable.

Xin Yi sat down politely, and at this time, Sun Huai came back with Erbao to wash his hands, rolled up his sleeves and was about to serve his master, but he was excused by Fu Jiuqu and ordered him and the two guards to also go to the next table to use hot pot.

Sun Huai happily received the order.

Then, Xin Yi sadly found that the king of Guangling County still didn't move his chopsticks, and his eyes just looked at her.

...... "Is this because the king of Guangling is not used to eating like this, or does he want her to wait?"

Xin Yi picked up a thinly sliced piece of rabbit meat, put it in the pot, and chatted and asked.

"Has the king ever eaten hot pot?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her, "Every year on the first day of October, there will be a stove party in Tokyo. Naturally, it has been eaten. ”

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows.

It turned out that she had no knowledge.

"That's what the king of the county eats, and that's the same?"

Fu Jiuqu half-lowered his eyelids, "Your soup pot has a stronger fragrance." ”

Although hot pot has become a folk food in the Song Dynasty, most of them still boil a pot of water on a small stove, then blanch the vegetables, and dip them with condiments.

It looks like the same steps, but the taste is far from the same.

Xin Yi smiled lightly and put the scalded rabbit meat slices into Fu Jiuqu's condiment bowl.

"The king of the county tastes."

Her eyes were sparkling and full of expectation, no different from a cook who prepared food and waited for praise.

Fu Jiuqu ate very gently, and casually put it in his mouth, his face changed slightly.

Xin Yi became nervous, "How is it?" Isn't it delicious? ”

Fu Jiuqu's expression returned to its original coldness, and he said slowly: "Not bad." ”

only got a good evaluation, Xin Yi was actually a little unconvinced. She spent a lot of thought on tonight's hot pot, although the condiments are not as complete as modern ones, but the bottom of the fried pot is very fragrant, and the broth is even more rich and attractive, and the meat is also soaked with oil, sauce and pepper sauce, and the dipping sauce is also carefully adjusted, and the taste should not be bad.

She didn't speak, she sandwiched vegetables for the children separately, and then scalded a piece of meat into her mouth.

Her eyes lit up, "It's delicious." ”

Fu Jiuqu looked at her expression and coughed lightly, "It's okay." ”

Xinyi: ......

Forget it, people are nobles who have eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there are people who have higher tastes than ordinary people. Xin Yi no longer expects good reviews, concentrates on eating his own, and occasionally takes care of his three children.

However, in a blink of an eye, I found that those dishes that were only worthy of the "acceptable" of the king of Guangling were becoming less and less under the chopsticks of the king of the county.

The three children all stared at their Uncle Fu with wide eyes in disbelief......

Xin Yi chuckled.

Sure enough, it's a tsundere.

"Mrs. Zhang, if you don't open a medicine hall, you can live by opening a restaurant." Grandpa Sun was eating hot pot at the next table and praised him sincerely.

Xin Yi smiled and turned his head, "Then in the future, if Grandpa Sun wants to eat, he will come often." ”

Because of the transfer price of the house, she had a good impression of Sun Huai, and she was very enthusiastic when she was invited.

Sun Huai responded casually, and when he saw that his master's face seemed to be bad, he coughed awkwardly.

"The small one is stained with the light of the ninth master, so he has the opportunity to eat the pot cooked by the lady herself, where does the dog dare often come to bother the lady......"

Xin Yi smiled politely, and suddenly heard a loud bang from the house.

She and Fu Jiuqu glanced at each other, threw away their chopsticks and ran over.

"What's wrong? Why did Mrs. Zhang run away? Sun Huai was still stupid there, so he saw his master put the food on the chopsticks into his mouth, lifted the corner of his robe, and went in.

"What happened?"

Several people were puzzled and looked at each other.

In Xiang Ling and his beloved's room, a fishing net fell, and a woman was struggling desperately.

This is the plan that Xin Yi arranged when he left Fu Jiuqu down, and the original intention was to catch the woman who stole the clothes, but at this moment, seeing such a person, Xin Yi's softness in his heart was deeply touched, and he was very uncomfortable for a while.

This is a woman who does not look like a woman.

Her hair was messy, her facial features were blurred by black stains, but there were scars on her face, crawling on her face like earthworms, her thin body was hung with her beloved's brand-new clothes, her bare feet were trying to retract, trying to break free from the shackles of the fishing net, and she was dragging an agate box that Xin Yi used to lure her in her hand, a pair of black hole-in-the-hole eyes, godless and frightened, like an abyss, staring at Xin Yi in horror, shrinking back and making a threatening and fierce appearance.

Xin Yi stepped forward calmly.

"You've finally shown up."

"Ahh Ah~"

The woman was so frightened that she trembled with fear, but in order to embolden herself, she kept pulling the fishing net, baring her teeth at Xin Yi, and barking strangely like an angry dog.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Xin Yi slowed down, trying to calm her emotions.

Fu Jiuqu walked in, took a look, closed the door, and locked his subordinates outside.

"Is that her?"

"Ahh

Seeing Fu Jiuqu, the woman was clearly even more frightened, and her voice was frightened and high-pitched.

Xin Yi shushed at Fu Jiuqu and gave her a look, "Don't scare her, I'll ask." ”

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her, and leaned against the door with his arms folded idly.

"Are you hungry?!" Xin Yi squatted down and looked at the woman with a blurred face, "Did you smell the smell of our cooking pot?" Do you want to eat it? I'll have someone cook a bowl and bring it in for you, okay? ”

The woman's eyes looked at her for a moment, her mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, but her fingers tightly picked at the agate box, and the whole person curled up in the fishing net.

Xin Yi groaned for a while, and then asked, "You like tuk incense, don't you?" ”

The woman still didn't speak, holding the agate box to her chest, staring at her like a thief.

"I'm not going to take it, it's meant to be for you." Xin Yi smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he glanced at the wound on the woman's forehead.

I think it was when the fishing net fell, it hit her head, and at this moment a trace of blood slid down, making the woman's face even more hideous and terrifying.

Xin Yi said softly, "My fishing net hit you?" Would you like me to bandage your wounds? I'm the one who opened the medicine hall, you bleed, I can help you......"

The woman shook her head, desperately shaking her head, her mouth whining but no one understood what she said.

"You can't speak, can you?" Xin Yi thought of the story of the nine-tailed fox demon and sighed.

"I know that you have suffered a lot and sinned, and you will not believe me, nor will you trust anyone. It doesn't matter, I'm not near you, I just want to get you out of the nets. Wait a minute, you can go if you want, I won't force you to stay, but if you are hungry, thirsty, or cold in the future, you can come here to find me, no need to sneak around, understand......"

As she spoke, she leaned over little by little, slowly picked up the fishing net that had finally caught the woman, pulled it aside, and put a box of pastries on the cabinet in front of the woman by the way.

"Fill your stomach."

The woman's eyes were dark and staring at her, and after a moment she suddenly bent down and picked up the pastry, turned quickly, pushed open the window, and ran out, fleeing as fast as she could—

"Why did you do that?" Fu Jiuqu's voice was faint.

Xin Yi knew that his actions had surprised him, and he glanced back and gently kicked the net away.

"The twisted melon is not sweet, and the person who catches it is not ripe."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, "Hmph, then why did you arrest her?" ”

"To make her trust me." Xin Yi raised her eyebrows and said seriously, "She has been hurt very badly and will not trust anyone anymore." It seems that there is a language barrier, and if you don't get her trust, it's hard to get the truth from her mouth. ”

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes, "Where did you learn about her?" ”

Xin Yi: "Isn't it what Aunt Li said?" ”

Fu Jiuqu snorted, "I've checked, Aunt Li doesn't know as much as you." ”
