Since when did they become so strange?

"People always change," Lan Xin bit her lower lip and tried desperately to hold back her tears, not allowing herself to cry cowardly in front of Shangguan Yun.

What's worse is that because of the onset of medicine, her body has begun to heat up for a while, and the unfamiliar feeling washes over her body, and the tingling sensation like being gnawed by a small insect makes her can't help but hug her arms and tremble.

Afraid that she would not be able to control herself and turn around and thirst for his warmth, Lan Xin stiffened her back and almost fled from Shangguan Yun for a long distance, then turned her back to him, and pretended to be calm and said, "If it's okay, please leave the young master quickly, I'm going to rest." ”

"Remember my words, as long as I Shangguan Yun is here, Shangguan Mansion will always be your home." Shangguan Yun glanced at her deeply, and after speaking, the person also turned around, "You...... Take care. ”

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind her, Lan Xin couldn't control it anymore and paused on the ground, closing her eyes and letting her tears dry up.

The feeling of her body being burned by fire made her feel tormented, but no matter how uncomfortable it was, it couldn't hurt the sound of a certain part of her heart collapsing inch by inch.

"Young master, I'm sorry ......"

The onset of the effect of the drug made her whole body like the mud of water, and her eyes were weak and weak, Lan Xin blushed and ripped open her placket, grabbed the tablecloth and wanted to stand up, but she didn't expect to tear off the tablecloth along with the things on the table.

The sound of porcelain shattering sounded one after another, and even the wine jug was not spared from shattering into several pieces, and the wine that was still warm splashed on the unsuspecting Lan Xin's face, along with the placket and sleeves of the clothes.

After a short period of sobriety, the crazy fire swept over again, and Lan Xin lay on the ground in embarrassment, biting her lower lip and sobbing silently, pulling at the placket of her clothes while pressing her face against the cold floor in an attempt to control the strange fire.

A pair of slender arms picked her up from the ground, Lan Xin's eyes were foggy, but the intuitive person pressed over to her, whimpered and whispered, "Hot ......"

Subconsciously reached out to hold her waist to prevent her from falling to the ground, Shangguan Yun, who went and returned, looked at her with a complicated expression, and only reached out and patted her face for a while, "Xin'er, wake up." ”

Lan Xin's face was flushed, she stretched out her hand and greedily hugged Shangguan Yun to absorb warmth, her nose smelled the familiar smell from him, and the whole person was in a trance, and she didn't react to his voice at all, just kept shouting heat.

"Xin'er!" Seeing that she was about to untie her clothes when she reached out, Shangguan Yun's eyebrows were furrowed, and he hurriedly grabbed her hand to stop her, "What have you eaten, wake up!" ”

"I don't want others, I just want the young master......" Lan Xin said in a low voice, I don't know if it's the relationship between the effect of the medicine or the psychological discomfort, the tears have not stopped, "I don't want others, I'm afraid, the young master ......"

Even if she didn't want Shangguan Yun to see her unbearability and embarrassment, but now she had no ability to resist and could only hide in front of him.

Listening to her sobbing, Shangguan Yun pursed his thin lips into a straight line, but there was a subtle feeling fermenting in his heart, and after hesitating, he still reached out and patted her back, and comforted her in a low voice, "...... I'm here, don't be afraid. ”

Under his reassurance, Lan Xin seemed to calm down a little.

"You sit down first, I'll go get some water."

Lan Xin hung her head and didn't react, but just when Shangguan Yun was about to help her to the bed to rest, the person who had been silent suddenly became excited, pushed Shangguan Yun down on the kang, and pounced on herself.

The bed was covered with a soft quilt, although Shangguan Yun was a little stunned, but he didn't hit anything, seeing Lan Xin rushing towards her, he hurriedly reached out to catch her, "Xin'er!" ”

The thirst for primal instinct dominated all her sanity, and Lan Xin couldn't remember what she wanted to keep her distance from Guan Yun before, so she hugged him tightly and cried.

Shangguan Yun is not a dead person, he also has a male nature, and being rubbed by Lan Xin all the time, even Yanagi Hui will react.

Embarrassedly grabbing Lan Xin's hand to prevent her from continuing, Shangguan Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his breath was unsteady and asked, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

"I know," Lan Xin choked up with tears in her eyes, "I want to ...... Young master, if it is a young master, Xin'er ...... Willing to ......"

As he spoke, he broke free of his hands, trembling and wanting to continue the effort he had just made.

"You ......" Although Shangguan Yun was angry in her heart, she saw that her face was flushed and her expression was painful, and she couldn't say a word of reprimand, and a thousand words could only turn into a long sigh in the end.

"Well, if this makes you give up doing this kind of stupid thing......" Shangguan Yun said, kissing her, "then so be it." ”

………………

The days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the morning, He Xiaoqiao went to the rich gambling house refreshed and counted the money earned in the past two months, completed the promise to all the guys in the gambling house, gave everyone their own dividends according to different positions, and discussed with the chat shopkeeper to step up the introduction of new ways to play poker during the period from the third day of the new year to the Lantern Festival, and then hurriedly returned to the mansion, ordered the number of people and began to prepare the meal for Chinese New Year's Eve. By the way, I also make some small preparations for the Chinese New Year's Eve feast, which is better than marinating meat, pickles, making noodles and making sweets.

Although the people below will buy these things when they do New Year's goods, after all, they are just common things such as dried fruits and preserved fruits, and some of them are not sold outside, such as sugar lotus root and biscuits, so you can only make them yourself.

Because Jiang Fenghao was not at home, and he had no heirs now, when he sacrificed to the king of the stove on Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Yidao held Jiang Fenghao's personal jade pei as a salute.

Women are not allowed to participate in sending the stove prince to heaven, so He Xiaoqiao and the other cooks are only responsible for cooking noodles and dumplings, and then boiling some maltose to stick to the mouth of the stove king, so that after he goes to heaven, his heart is sweet and his mouth is sweet, and then he will only pick good words and tell the Jade Emperor.

The dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is hot pot.

The blacksmith sent back a special large-sized hot pot a few days ago, and in order to take care of everyone's taste, the hot pot was specially separated from the two sides, just used to make a mandarin duck pot.

On one side is a fragrant bone broth with ginger slices and white radish boiled into a milky white color, and on the other side is a spicy soup base with peppercorns, chili peppers and green onions.

Fresh beef and mutton and pork belly are all sliced into translucent slices, put on ice to freeze, and then roll into rolls to be placed on the table, afraid that the meat will not be enough to eat at that time, so He Xiaoqiao rolled these three kinds of meat into three plates, and then served another plate after eating.

Chicken and duck meat are directly cut into small pieces and shaved off the bones for convenience, and the big kitchen side in order to cater to He Xiaoqiao's taste, the pork liver and pig heart were also sliced together, and the pork belly was also cut into strips and sent to the table after being cleaned with flour and vinegar.

In addition, there are sliced fish and fresh river prawns with the gut removed.

As for the vegetarian dishes, there are cabbage, callus, winter bamboo shoots, corn, shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, goldenrod, lotus root, winter melon and lettuce.

The tofu is water tofu bought from outside, and the fried gluten and yuba are freshly made at home, and the portions are very large.

Ground peanuts and sesame seeds are mixed with water and boiled to make a sauce, plus soy sauce and a little chili pepper and cumin to mix, it is a popular hot pot sauce, He Xiaoqiao even took out the fragrant sauce that he got back from Granny Qi last time, and let everyone eat it according to their own preferences.

A group of seven people sat down in the house, except for He Xiaoqiao's master and servant, of course, Hong Fang Baishou and Liu Yidao, who didn't know when they would come back, and Liao Steward, who was relied on by Jiang Fenghao so he also had the opportunity to come in for dinner.

When he knew that his new owner was also Jiang Fenghao's daughter-in-law, the future princess of Changning Palace, Steward Liao was also surprised for a while, but then he smiled knowingly.

Who wouldn't spoil their wives like this?

I think when he was young, he also spent a lot of money in order to please his daughter-in-law, although it is an old thing now, but every time his wife thinks about it, she still looks shy and happy, and he also feels happy.

The two of them have been married for nearly 30 years, and they have always been affectionate, loving and beautiful, and rarely have a loud quarrel, they are in a good mood and work naturally, and even the business they took over with him is thriving and has achieved remarkable results.

That's why it's good to talk about home and everything!

The soup in the hot pot on the table has begun to boil and tumble, and the two tables are put together before they can barely put down all the side dishes, each person has a pair of dishes and chopsticks with a sauce, and whatever you want to eat, just clip it and cook it in the pot.

Considering Bai Shou's special preference, He Xiaoqiao even fried a large plate of pumpkin balls, glutinous rice ground into flour and steamed pumpkin mixed evenly to make dough, after steaming, roll a circle of crumbs left over from baking biscuits, and the bread is red bean paste and peanut sesame filling, which is fragrant, crispy and sweet, and very strong.

In the future, whenever Bai Shou recalled the days when he was transferred to be sent by He Xiaoqiao, that cool face would involuntarily smile happily - this was definitely the most comfortable and blessed time he had in his life, and there was no one.

Steward Liao is eating hot pot for the first time, and he is even surprised before he eats it, and he is even more appreciative after eating. After knowing that He Xiaoqiao came up with all this, he began to lobby her to open a hot pot restaurant with the mind of a businessman, and even arranged how to arrange the store and attract customers.

Liu Yidao listened to the side, nodded again and again, and even contracted to find a storefront and recruit guys.

He Xiaoqiao was praised flutteringly, but he didn't respond on a whim, only said that he would wait for Jiang Fenghao to come back and ask him what he meant.

After listening to this, in addition to lamenting He Xiaoqiao's virtuousness, he was also very happy that Jiang Fenghao's 'husband gang' was revitalized - and the truth of the facts was actually just that He Xiaoqiao was lazy and didn't want to cause too much trouble for himself.

The cold wind was howling outside, and everyone in the house was laughing slowly while soaking the hot pot, and the meal was in full swing, and there was no left of the prepared super-large side dishes.

Hong Fang, who had a big appetite, still shouted that he was not full enough, so He Xiaoqiao had to take out the small half-roll ramen left in the kitchen and let him cook it directly.
