Chapter 196: Hold it
In the simple but neat, clean courtyard, even a little empty, young men and women sat opposite each other, prejudging the fine food boxes on the table.
"Young Master Jian, I have learned some new skills from my grandmother in the back kitchen of the house in recent days, this red bean porridge is a little more cooked, and I would like to ask Master Jian to help?"
The woman was wearing a blue dress, her skin was fair and delicate, she had a thin melon seed face, her two bright eyes were as clear and pure as autumn water, her nose was beautiful, her lips were delicate, and she smiled softly, revealing two rows of fine white jade teeth, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her lips were filled with a cunning smile.
"Miss Xue, this is the seventh day that you have said that you have done too much......
The quaint scarf covered Jian Zijin's simple black broken hair, obviously a candle dragon guard, but Jian Zijin had a delicate face, and she was not impatient when she spoke, looking more like an elegant and quiet little official.
"Huh? That's right...... Then I'll change the reason tomorrow. ”
Xue Lin was stunned, and then said with a smile.
“……”
Jian Zijin was silent.
Xue Lin clasped her hands together, leaned forward slightly, frowned slightly, and looked pleading: "Young Master Jian, help, do too much, I can't eat it alone, I will waste food." ”
Jian Zijin really wants to say that there are more than 100 people in your Xue Mansion, and one person and one pot are not enough.
But looking at Xue Lin's touching pleading appearance, Jian Zijin could only silently let go of her right hand pressed on the delicate food box.
Xue Lin happily opened the food box, and the hot aroma instantly hit her nose.
Jian Zijin's eyes widened, "This...... Is this just a bowl of red bean porridge? ”
"It's indeed a bowl of red bean porridge, but how can you just drink porridge?" Xue Lin said with a smile, then put her hand into the food box, and a plate of dishes that were excellent in appearance and fragrance were laid out.
"I made anchovy shark fin, ginger fillet, spiced pigeon and sweet and sour lotus root."
Xue Lin's face was a little regretful: "It's a pity that the time is too short, I only learned these kinds for the time being, and I will beg the kitchen aunt to teach me the rest tomorrow." ”
Jian Zijin just wanted to excuse herself, but Xue Lin suddenly changed her face, looking pitiful, and I saw a pitiful grievance.
"Didn't Gongzi Jian even give the little girl a chance to repay her kindness?"
“……”
Jian Zijin's words were blocked back again, and after thinking about it again, she found that she was completely pinched by this eldest lady of the Xue family, so she directly gave up resistance and buried herself in eating.
Looking at Jian Zijin, who was gulping down the delicacies she had made, Xue Lin's eyebrows were crooked, and her smile was sweet and contented.
It's just that the quiet and leisurely time didn't last long, and the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Jian Zijin and Xue Lin looked up at the same time, but saw a group of figures wearing dark candle dragon costumes walking into the courtyard.
"Candle Dragonguard?"
Xue Lin has stayed in Xue Mansion since she was a child, and almost never goes out, not to mention Sang Ziyan in Chang'an City, even the people in the Candle Dragon Division of Yueyang City don't know a few, but she doesn't know people, and she still recognizes the clothes.
Xue Lin frowned and stood up: "I don't know what the Candle Dragon Division is here for?" ”
She didn't remember anything that had allowed the Candle Dragon Division to come to the door in person recently, and looking at the arrogant temperament of the young man at the head, it was not an ordinary candle dragon guard?
Sang Ziyan looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, and then saw that Jian Zijin was accompanied by the exquisite eldest lady of the Xue family when she had a meal.
Thinking of himself and the others rattling and falling at the mouth of the alley not far away, Sang Zi didn't say anything, and said coldly: "Jian Zijin, are you guilty!?" ”
The other candle dragon guards also had bad faces.
The reputation of the eldest lady of the Xue family has spread throughout Yueyang City, which young man is not fond of it? I didn't expect to be the first to be taken by your kid!
Xue Lin's expression changed: "Gongzi Jian has lived next door to Xue Mansion since he entered the city, and he has never gone out, the little woman cooks every day, and she can testify when she comes to deliver food, so how can she commit an accident?" Are you mistaken? ”
"What!? The eldest lady of the Xue family cooks by herself, delivers meals herself, and even eats with her? ”
"Eat with me today, then I don't dare to think about what to accompany tomorrow!"
As soon as he heard this, the eyes of the candle dragon guard behind Sang Ziyan were about to burst into flames, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring, and he almost glared at Jian Zijin with his eyes.
Sang Ziyan was also angry, pointed at Jian Zijin and said: "It's better for him to say that if he doesn't enter the city, it's a sin to enter the city!" ”
"You ......" Xue Lin's face turned red angrily.
Xue Lin didn't know the reason, so he just treated the Candle Dragon Division indiscriminately and casually deducted a crime!
After all, except for the Demon Dao and the Evil Dao Cultivators, everyone in Yueyang City can enter, even the Demon Clan, and Jian Zijin is not a Demon Dao or Evil Dao Monk at all.
"Miss Xue, it's okay, they are my companions in the Candle Dragon Division, it's not the first time they've come to me these days, the first two times Miss Xue you happened to be there, so it's just a joke."
Jian Zijin got up, came to Xue Lin and whispered.
"Your body has just recovered, so you shouldn't get emotional."
Xue Lin was stunned: "Candle Dragon Division's companion...... Are you also a candle dragon guard? ”
Jian Zijin nodded, a little apologetic: "Well, before I went down, I told Miss Xue that she was a person from Chang'an, but in fact, she was a candle dragon guard in Chang'an City, but for some special reasons, so she had to walk the world as a last resort." ”
"I haven't confessed before, it's just that Candle Longwei's identity is special, it's hard to say clearly, and I ask Miss Xue not to worry about it!"
"No, no, no......" Xue Lin hurriedly waved her hand, her eyes brightened. Don't mind, I don't mind at all! ”
"Since it's a friend of Jian Gongzi, the little woman will leave first, and the food box will be left here with Jian Gongzi first, and I will send someone to pick it up later."
Xue Lin was in a good mood, and even looked at Sang Ziyan and others a lot.
When he walked out of the courtyard, Xue Lin also unexpectedly saw three strange combinations behind Candle Dragon Division and the others.
The person at the head was dressed in a green shirt, with a simple long sword hanging from his waist, his temperament was dusty, his starry eyes and eyebrows were cloudy, he seemed to be a sword cultivator, and the handsomeness of the other party's appearance was what Xue Lin had seen in his life, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
And the two women next to the young Jian Xiu, one big and one small, the one who was about the same age as her also carried a long sword, with a straight posture, a proud and straight figure, slender legs, and a good kendo!
The little girl was full of luxury, with a tear mole in the corner of her eye, and her face was delicate and cute.
Such a strange combination Xue Lin might have been curious in normal times, but today when he was in a good mood, he had no intention of exploring, and just smiled and nodded to the young sword cultivator.
Huai Zhi'an smiled lightly, bowed his head in return, and even heard the other party's Didi when he staggered by.
"If Jian Gongzi is Candle Dragon Guard, I'm afraid that even his parents won't have much to say, and they won't have any opinions, right?"
"In this case, I can find an opportunity to take Mr. Jian to meet his parents."
"I met my parents this week, and I can find a matchmaker to set a good day next week, maybe I can get married this month?"
Huai Zhi'an blinked, thoughtful.
