Chapter 74: The Best Woman
This ghost hunt is over, and it's almost noon!
Mu Cui looked at the steps on the platform, "Miss, the master said to come over at noon." Do your subordinates want to go outside to greet them? ”
Nanxing glanced at her, "Go ahead, take Jinli down by the way, and go to the small kitchen to prepare lunch."
"His Royal Highness King Ning is coming?"
Jin Li was stunned for a moment, and said a little anxiously, "Your Highness's dietary preferences don't you know?" What does this have in store for Your Highness? We only have vegetables and no meat in our small kitchen, and I don't know if it's too late to go to the big kitchen now? ”
She walked around the room anxiously and nervously.
Nanxing looked at her and chuckled, "Jinli, you don't have to be nervous, this girl can eat whatever Her Highness eats!" He's the same as Ben girl, he's only a vegetarian."
"Then the slave maid will make some vegetarian dishes."
"Why don't you make some dumplings, this girl wants to eat vegetarian dumplings."
"What are dumplings?"
The three girls all looked at her curiously, "Is it food?" ”
"You don't know?" Nanxing was also stunned, they shouldn't have known! Isn't there anyone on this continent who knows about dumplings?
"It's made of flour and stuffed with vegetarian vegetables, cooked in a pot, and dipped in vinegar and garlic juice!"
"Miss, the slave knows! What you're talking about is similar to the steamed dumplings we ate, but they're cooked in a pot," Jin Li seemed to understand.
Nanxing shook his head, feeling that there was still a big difference between the steamed dumplings and the steamed dumplings that Jinli said.
"In this way, Mu Cui will go outside to greet His Highness, Jinli, Ziluo will follow me to the kitchen to have a look,"
"Yes." The trio split up.
The kitchenette was very clean.
On the shelves next to the door, vegetables, eggs, mushrooms and two fresh carp are placed in different categories.
She flipped through it casually and saw rape, mushrooms and eggs.
"Jinli, do we have shrimp?"
"Yes, just not much." Jinli pointed to the small basin on the table, "It's expensive, and it's not easy to transport it from the island to the east. There aren't many people in our house. That's all that is given to all places."
Ziluo glanced at the small basin and did not speak.
She had seen this thing once at the old owner's birthday banquet, and it was found from the east by the young master with great effort.
If the young lady went to the vine Luo Village, with the young master's thoughts about the young lady, he would also bother for her.
Nanxing didn't pay attention to Ziluo's expression, she was thinking about what kind of vegetarian stuffing to make.
Suddenly, I remembered that Brother Han Yu made her a mixed dumpling, which was eye-catching and delicious.
Her eyes lit up, she rolled up her sleeves, and combed her hair on top of her head as she spoke, "In that case, let's make assorted dumplings and let you taste this girl's craftsmanship!" ”
"Miss wants to cook herself?" Jinli and Ziluo were stunned, they didn't expect Nanxing to be able to cook!
"What's so shocking about this? This girl has lived in Danxia Mountain since she was a child, and if she didn't know how to cook, she would have starved to death?" Looking at their expressions, she smiled slightly, put on her apron casually, and picked out the vegetables on the shelf.
"The slave maid will help you," Jinli cooperated very well and took the vegetables to the pot to clean.
Ziluo didn't stand there and watch, squatting down to guard the fire.
In March, the weather is getting warmer.
With a bit of strong sunlight refracted into the small kitchen, it is soft and warm.
Nanxing's whole person is reflected in a shallow halo, and his whole body exudes a quiet and comfortable charm, which is so beautiful and gentle.
The inky hair is coiled at the back of the head, and the pink peach hairpin with an oblique insertion is particularly fresh and delicate. And a few strands of hair scattered on the cheeks add a bit of charm. With his head slightly bowed, a smile on his face, most of the brocade clothes on his body were covered by an apron, and his hands cut the vegetables on the board one by one, making a slight knocking sound. Accompanied by the sound of dongdong, there are also paragraphs of songs that I don't understand.
When Mu Cui led Ye Ziyuan into the Star Picking Pavilion, he saw this beautiful and familiar figure reflected in the warmth at a glance.
couldn't help but be stunned, 'This is Rong Nanxing?' Can she cook? Is this cooking for the king himself? ’
Mu Qing and Mu Cui also stopped, secretly making eye contact.
'Mu Cui, the princess can cook?' ’
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it, and the princess is really beautiful."
'What is this singing?' ’
'I've never heard it before, it's like a song, ?' Mu Cui looked away from her brother's face and wanted to go in.
"Come back, don't go," Mu Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled her, signaling not to disturb Ye Ziyuan.
Nanxing didn't notice the three people outside.
She is immersed in her own song, which is one of her favorite modern Cantonese songs, "Walking on the Road of Life". The content of the song is like a portrayal of her now. The people behind Mama Li, Li Chenghai, the Red Wings Army, the royal family, and even the entire Zhaocheng are like peaks in front of her, she will not be discouraged, let alone choose to give up halfway.
There will always be bumps on the road of life, not afraid of tempering, determined to move forward.
The more she sang, the more energetic she became, and the kitchen knife in her hand hit the beat directly on the board, and her voice became louder. Ziluo and Jinli beside her listened to her singing, and couldn't help but stop the movements in their hands.
"Miss, what are you singing? The slave doesn't understand a word, Purple Girl, can you understand? ”
"I don't understand, although I don't understand, but it feels pretty good," Ziluo smiled faintly.
"You haven't been with Miss for the past ten years? I thought," Jin Li looked at her, and her face was different.
"No, Miss saved me, I haven't been with her for long," she glanced at Nanxing, who was still singing, and responded to Jinli's words briefly.
"Ten years ago, Miss saved our whole family, and asked my wife for permission to let us live in the mansion."
Jin Li looked at Nan Xing and smiled very firmly and with peace of mind, "Jin Li is grateful to Miss in her heart, and begs Madame to agree to allow Madam to take me with her when she goes to Danxia Mountain, but Madam, if I was here at that time, I would not let Miss be so seriously injured even if I was desperate!" It was also from that day that Jinli secretly swore that if anyone hurt Miss in the future, Jinli would fight with her! ”
"Miss will be happy in the future," Ziluo said as she looked at her leisurely exit.
"Yes, she will be happy in the future."
Ye Ziyuan's voice was not loud, but it was very clear inside.
"See His Royal Highness King Ning!" Jinli hurriedly pulled Ziluo to the door to salute.
Nanxing put down the knife in his hand, his eyes were shining, and he walked over with a smile on his face and asked, "Did Your Highness just arrive in the courtyard or did you listen for a while?" ”
"It's rare to hear the princess's singing, naturally," Ye Ziyuan raised his face with a slightly red face.
"What does Your Highness think?"
"The princess is out of the hall and in the kitchen, and she can be described as the best beauty!"
"Your Highness is telling the truth?"
"Naturally, it's sincere!"
The two of them looked at each other like this, and there was a hint of friendship in each other's eyes.
Mu Cui whispered to Mu Qing, "The master is really good at making the princess happy?" I didn't understand anything.
Mu Qing glared at her, smiled secretly, and motioned for her to shut up.
She pursed her lips unhappily, and when she saw Jinli and Ziluo standing at the door, she ran over and looked into the house, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Miss said what to make dumplings, we're helping her," Jinli glanced at Nanxing, who was standing in the courtyard, and smiled.
"Dumplings? I haven't heard of it, let's go, go in and have a look," Mu Cui pulled them into the house with some excitement.
Ziluo looked back at the two people in the courtyard, her face changed slightly, and she didn't make a sound.
"Princess, Your Highness did not inform Old Madam Rong and Old Master Rong. Therefore, Mu Qing was afraid that Nanxing would send someone to tell the old lady that it would cause trouble, so he explained out loud.
"Your Highness is not polite this time? Aren't you afraid of the suspicion of melon fields and plums? When Nanxing heard this, he smiled very proudly.
"Mouthy!"
Ye Ziyuan reprimanded Mu Qing, and the eyes of Danfeng, who was full of coquettish figures, showed gentleness, "This holy decree has been issued, you are the princess of this king's righteous name!" This king came to visit you and still want to avoid suspicion? ”
"No," she said, her eyes smiling like crescents, and she shook her head slightly.
"It is an honor for this girl to have Your Highness here. If you don't dislike it, please go upstairs."
"You're not going up?" Before he finished asking, she smiled and said, "I'll make you something to eat, don't go up first."
Then he shouted, "Mu Cui, come out to help."
Mu Qing saw Ye Ziyuan nodding slightly, and pushed the wheelchair to the corridor.
When Nanxing went up to the platform with the tray, Ye Ziyuan was looking at the guqin by the window and thinking deeply.
"Blood? Are you here? His slender fingers stroked it gently.
After the accident in the Shen Mansion, he secretly sent someone to collect the relics of the master and the princess, but he did not find the "blood". I thought that "blood" was sent back to Tajikistan or sold by others. I didn't expect it to be here in Nanxing,
The whitened fingers of the bone joints are gently slashed, and the sound of the piano comes out, and the ancient rhyme is melodious!
"Your Highness can also play the piano?" Nanxing smiled slightly when he heard the sound of the piano and pushed the door in.
"This king won't, Nanxing is superb in piano?" Ye Ziyuan withdrew his hand and asked knowingly.
"I can't count it, but I can play with Xiao Yugongzi."
"You know him?" Ye Ziyuan's hand gently tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair, and his eyes didn't dare to look at her.
"On the day this girl returned home, it happened to be her grandmother's birthday, and Xiao Yugongzi came to celebrate her birthday and had the honor to play a song with him." She smiled absently, put the mixed dumplings on the small table, and set the small bowl.
"What do you think, how is he?"
"How? It's okay," Nanxing came over and pushed him, "I can hear it in Xiao Yin, this person has a good mind and has great ambitions in his heart. But I don't know what I'm bound by, and I don't get the opportunity to show my strength. It's a pity."
"Do you hear that?" Ye Ziyuan's eyes lit up, she and him actually had the same heart?
"You can hear me!"
She came to the table, handed him chopsticks, and put dumplings in his small bowl, "Although I haven't seen anyone who has seen him, this girl thinks that his character is good, at least she kept her promise and paid a thousand taels of silver." Forget it, don't mention him. Taste it, I made it myself. ”
Ye Ziyuan watched her smile happily, put her mind at ease, and brought the dumplings to her mouth.
"What is this made of? It's delicious,"
"It's delicious. This is my brother's specialty, every time I feel uncomfortable, my brother will do it for me, my brother will do it to me, and my brother will treat me."
Before she finished speaking, Ye Ziyuan put down her chopsticks and said in a dull voice, "But the one who helped you clean up the medical hall?" ”
"No, he's a friend of mine," Nanxing continued to put one in his bowl without paying attention, "This time I went back to Zhaocheng, thanks to him." I'll tell you another day."
"This king has never known anyone who is messing around."
Nanxing was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with an inquiring gaze, "Your Highness doesn't like it?" ”
Ye Ziyuan didn't speak, bowed his head and ate dumplings.
"His Royal Highness's temperament is really changeable, and his face became gloomy just when he mentioned others, "Nanxing only thinks that he is withdrawn, and it will be good to have more contact with others, and he doesn't think about anything else."
