Chapter 293: Don't Lie to Me
On the square table are four dishes: fish-flavored shredded pork, five-flavor tofu, salted duck and seaweed egg soup, and a pot of Gujing tribute wine. It can be seen that Li Xing knew that Wang Hou was from Luzhou, and the dishes he ordered the chef to cook were also in line with Wang Hou's taste.
Li Xing is nearly forty years old, the same age as Tang Jing, and he was born white. When Jolene came earlier, although he was too embarrassed, he saw that she was the princess of the kingdom of Adan, so he did not stop it. At this time, seeing that the dishes were arranged, he said to Wang Hou: "General, the wine and food are ready, please use them slowly." ”
Wang Hou thanked him and said, "Li Du commanded to sit down and drink two cups together." Li Xing glanced at Qiao Lin and replied, "Thank you, General, there are still a lot of people in the restaurant, I have to go over and have a look." Seeing this situation, Wang Hou knew that he intended to avoid it, so naturally he didn't want to say anything, nodded his head, and Li Xing withdrew.
Wang Hou picked up a piece of saltwater duck and put it in Qiao Lin's bowl, Qiao Lin picked it up, took a bite hard, and said angrily: "You don't like me, you still treat others well, what are you doing?" Wang Hou picked up the flask, poured himself a glass, and poured her another glass: "Jolene, can you tell me what 'like' is?" ”
Qiao Lin thought about it and shook her head: "I can't say it, anyway, in my heart, I always think about you, I can't see you for a while, I always feel that something is missing." ”
Wang Hou didn't expect her to be like this, remembering the day she left Emerald Blue Island, during breakfast, the eldest princess asked herself, "General, last night the holy monk said that he wanted you to treat Qiao Lin well in the future, what do you think?" "Did the general ever think that if Qiao Lin wanted to follow you back to Daming then?" "Jolene is my sister, I know her too well, I'm afraid she'll follow you desperately...... It's just that I can see that you don't have Qiao Lin in your heart, you only have that Elder Liu in your eyes, and that Elder Li, you look at her very complicated eyes......
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Hou picked up the wine glass, Qiao Lin also picked it up, and the two drank it all. Wang Hou took another piece of saltwater duck: "Qiao Lin, this duck has white skin and tender meat, fat but not greasy, and the salted duck before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival tastes the best, because at this time, we are there when osmanthus is in full bloom, so it has a nice name: osmanthus duck." ”
Qiao Lin picked up the wine jug, filled it for Wang Hou, and asked, "Do you think that I don't like you because I haven't come to see you these days?" Wang Hou secretly complained to himself: I wanted to divert the topic, but I still got entangled, and I heard her say again, "It's not like this, although I am not afraid of anyone, but my father has taught me since I was a child, I can't be selfish, I must care about the people......"
Wang Hou praised: "Your father said it well! Jolene, you are a princess, and your education is different from ours when you were young, so it is an honor for us to know you. "I'm also a ruthless helper, have you forgotten the helper?" After a few glasses of wine, Jolene was slightly drunk, but her words were smoother than usual.
Seeing that Qiao Lin didn't drink much, Wang Hou only poured wine for himself and didn't dare to add it to her. Qiao Lin snatched the flask, filled two glasses, and said, "We believe in Islam in the country of Adan, and it is said that I cannot drink spirits, but people are happy today, and Allah will forgive me...... This wine is so spicy. "Then don't drink it, Jolene, come, get some soup." Wang Hou stretched out his hand to serve her soup.
Qiao Lin grabbed Wang Hou's hand: "I don't drink soup, if you don't like people, I have to drink with you." "Jolene, how old are you?" Wang Hou no longer avoided her gaze, and asked again, "Twenty years old, right?" Do you know how many situations there are when you like someone? ”
"Of course I know, what about you being someone else's child?" Qiao Lin glanced at him, and continued, "I like a person, there are parents who like children, there are teachers who like disciples, there are likes between brothers and sisters, and of course there is love between lovers, liar helpers, am I right?" ”
Wang Hou only realized at this time that Qiao Lin was not a little girl, although as the eldest princess commented, she was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she was not willful like a child. I heard Qiao Lin say again: "Liar gang leader, don't you want to tell me that you just like the elders and like people like that like that?" ”
This is exactly what Wang Hou was going to comfort Qiao Lin, but he didn't expect her to say it directly, since the words are to the point, then just say it. Wang Hou put down his chopsticks and looked directly at her: "Qiao Lin, I am not the hero you say, I am just a child who grew up in a mountain village, and my current martial arts are not as good as you...... Besides, I already have smoke in my heart, and I can't pretend to be anyone else. ”
Jolene tilted her neck, drank another glass of wine, coughed repeatedly, and her face flushed: "I don't care, people just like you anyway...... You like people, you don't like people, that's your business. ”
Wang Houqing knows that she can't say anything, anyway, there will be a long time in the future, and then slowly enlighten. Thinking of this, he asked, "Okay, let's not talk about that, Jolene, do you want some soup?" "No, I'm going to drink!" Qiao Lin reached out to take back the wine jug from Wang Hou's hand, Wang Hou withdrew his hand to avoid it, Qiao Lin saw this, stood up, and muttered: "I want to drink!" He wanted to recapture the wine jug again, but unexpectedly, he stumbled under his feet, and the whole person fell into Wang Hou's arms.
Jolene closed her eyes and kept muttering, "Drink...... Liars, people like to ......" and then there are a lot of words that you don't understand. Wang Hou knew that she was strong in wine, and it was inconvenient to send her back now, so he had to put the wine jug back on the square table, help her to lie down on the bed, and take the brocade cover to cover it. Jolene muttered for a while, and finally fell asleep.
Shaking his head, Wang Hou saw that the room was messy, put all the plates on the table into the food box, and after cleaning them up, he took them out the door. Not far away, an officer and soldier saw it, trotted over, took the food box, and asked, "General Wang, have you eaten?" Let the subordinate clean up. ”
Wang Hou recognized him as a conductor on the ship, thanked him, and after seeing him walk away, Fang turned around and went back to his room, moved his chair and sat on the edge of the bed. Jolene was born slightly dark, and despite her appearance, she still has long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, the tip of her nose is beautifully erect, and her pink lips are pouted together, which looks very cute.
Thinking of the fight with her at the martial arts conference and the situation of getting along along the way, Wang Hou couldn't help but feel pity: if he could have such a sister, it would be a great blessing. Tesaro wants me to treat her well, does the holy monk foresee what trouble will follow? Wang Hou took out his wand from his arms, looked at it for a moment, shook his hand, and the four-inch-long wand was instantly two feet long, glowing with a silver-gray luster.
Looking at the wand, Wang Hou fell into deep thought: When I was in Changle, Zheng Zongbing and I came out of the county government to go to the banquet, and he told me the reason for going to the West, which made me understand that this trip was not only to echo the Northern Expedition of the Yongle Emperor, but also to make friends with Fanbang and deter Annan. At that time, Zheng Zongbing also laughed heartily: "In addition to the above considerations, the arrangement of the Holy Lord can also deter the Japanese and make them dare not act recklessly, how can those ministers understand these?" …… In addition, the fleet has other tasks, but it is difficult to say it now, and when the time comes, let's talk to the general in detail. ”
Looking at this itinerary again, when I was in Ceylon, Zheng Zongbing told me that he planned to stay in Adan for two months, why did he stay there for so long? According to Jolene, this wand is forged from sea mud, could it be that the sea mud there is very valuable? Could it be that Zheng Zongbing said that there are other tasks related to the mud at the bottom of the sea? I'm going to ask Jolene another day about the mud situation.
In the evening, Qiao Lin came to her senses, turned over and sat up, and saw Wang Hou sitting by the porthole, looking out in a daze, the wand in her hand would be extended for a while, and then it would become shorter. Rubbing his temples, he asked repeatedly, "Helper, I drank too much?" This wine is so powerful, have I said the wrong thing? ”
Wang Hou laughed and said, "Qiao Lin, why do you speak Chinese very neatly after drinking?" It's weird. Jolene got out of bed, put on her shoes, and asked, "What about you, did I say the wrong thing?" ”
"No, where did you say the wrong thing, but ......" Wang Hou deliberately paused, seeing Qiao Lin's expectant gaze, he continued, "You have been holding my hand, leaving a brother, and the right brother keeps screaming." ”
Qiao Lin stared at Wang Hou and snorted heavily: "If you lie to people, people won't." Wang Hou pretended to be stunned: "What won't? …… Don't you recognize me as a brother? ”
With another cold snort, Jolene turned around and walked back to the square table, poured a glass of water, drank most of it in one gulp, and then asked, "You are here, sitting all afternoon?" "I think of a true story, would you like to hear it?" Seeing her nodding, Wang Hou said slowly, "A year ago, there was a young man with strong martial arts who inadvertently fell into the struggle between two major gangs, each of which had a woman...... Let's call them the women in green and the women in white, both of whom are young and beautiful, but they are rivals. The woman in green knew the young man first, and fell in love with him; The young man also likes the woman in green, and the two sides have a good impression of each other. ”
Qiao Lin listened very carefully, and when she saw that Wang Hou stopped talking, she asked, "What happened later?" Wang Houdao: "Later, in the struggle between the two gangs, the young man rescued the woman in white, so that the woman in white also fell in love with this young man." That night, in order to settle the conflict between the gang, the young man went to another gang, and with his intervention, forced the other party to promise that there would be no more incidents within half a year, but at that time, the woman in white stepped forward and wanted to duel with the young man! ”
Ahh Why do you want to duel him? Wang Hou continued: "Yes, the two immediately jumped on the roof of the main hall, and the young man waited for the woman in white to make a move, but she stared at the young man, and did not make a move, and after a long time, she sighed, 'I was defeated by you, but I was saved by you, and I lost so much that I can't sleep well these days...... Don't you understand? ’”
Jolene sighed: "It turns out that she wants to find a chance to talk to him about her heart." What do young people say? The young man replied, 'There is still a great revenge down there, and we cannot stay here.' As soon as this sentence came out, the woman in white responded with a sentence......"
"What did she say?" Jolene asked.
