Chapter 7: Like a Fish
"You are Qin Candle?"
Qi Zhen'er spoke again, looking at Ah Candle with great momentum, trying to find a trace of nervousness and fear from her face.
But she was disappointed!
Ah Candle heard someone call her, a smile quickly flashed under her eyes, and then she stopped chewing in her mouth, and turned her head to look at them blankly with a blank face as she bit half of the pastry: "Huh? β
It's soft like a bun, and anyone can pinch it twice.
Song Wuyue suddenly had such a thought in her heart.
Ah Candle drank a few more sips of sweet water, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, his little face was slightly red, Danfeng's eyes were clear and bright, and he looked very polite and well-behaved.
Because of this, the wound on the forehead is particularly abrupt.
"Are you ......" Qi Zhen'er suddenly stammered, and as soon as she was nervous, the words that came to her mouth changed eight turns, becoming: "Are you still hungry?" β
If Ah Candle was a clay leg who cowered and avoided his eyes, Qi Zhen'er would definitely conclude that Ah Candle had a ghost in his heart, and he did all the bad things to cause the county lord Ruyi to lose his mother's love, and he couldn't even come to the banquet!
But Ah Candle in front of him is sincere and frank, polite and obedient, and his every move is very pleasing to the eye, Qi Zhen'er is only twelve or thirteen years old, although he is a little arrogant, but his heart is not bad.
Ah Candle's eyebrows bent, and his smile became sweeter: "Can I eat that?" β
She pointed to the delicate dim sum in front of Qi Zhen'er that was made into the shape of a white rabbit.
Qi Zhen'er was embarrassed by Ah Candle, and hurriedly asked the maid behind her to take the dim sum.
Ah Candle said politely: "Thank you." β
Qi Zhen'er: "No thanks! β
Probably because he came back too quickly, everyone else looked at it silently: "??? β
Say yes and target Qin Candle together, whatever you say, change!
Qi Zhen'er's eyes fluttered, she didn't want to do this, but Ah Candle looked at her with that kind of look, how could people refuse!
Zhao Susu hit her with her elbow, and she didn't do anything, so you defected, it was really useless!
She cleared her throat, stared at Ah Candle, and began to ask: "Hasn't Qin Niangzi never eaten these?" β
As the saying goes, hitting people doesn't slap their faces, and exposing people doesn't expose their shortcomings!
Everyone present, who didn't know that Ah Candle was picked up from the countryside, and mentioning her origin was to sprinkle salt on her wounds, which was really a bit difficult for people to get off the stage.
Just when the nobles thought that Ah Candle would be embarrassed, ashamed, and even humiliated and cryingβshe didn't think about it, and nodded in acknowledgement.
"That's right."
Ah Zhu held the "headless rabbit" in his hand and said seriously: "In the past, in the countryside, I could only eat one meal a day, and sometimes people forgot that it was also possible to be hungry for two days. I've never eaten anything so good. β
After speaking, he sincerely thanked Qi Zhen'er: "You are so good~"
β......β
β......β
β......β
The audience was silent.
Zhao Suxu: Woo, I'm damned.
Qi Zhen'er saw that Ah Candle's eyes were shining when he looked at him, like a sparkling stream under the warm sun, and his eyes were full of himself, and he was suddenly so ashamed that his face was red, and even his eyes were red.
The nobles also suddenly understood the love of the county lord of Ancheng for Ah Candle, presumably there must be a meaning of compensation in this!
Thinking about it like this, the hostility was also gone, and I couldn't help but send all the exquisite food in front of me to Ah Candle, hoping that she could eat more and gain weight.
Seeing that the scene was gradually becoming harmonious, Luo Yumin stared at Ah Candle coldly, with disgust in his eyes.
It's disgusting!
This Qin Candle is really the same as Ruyi said, she has a lot of eyes and loves to pretend to be innocent, presumably she relied on this ability to ask Lord Ancheng to reprimand Ruyi.
"Qin Niangzi has never seen these pastries before, but after arriving at the county lord's mansion, they are also clothed and fed. It's not like there's no next meal. It's better to eat slowly, so as not to misunderstand that we are going to grab food from you. After all, we're not starving ghosts. β
Luo Yumin finished speaking lightly, trying to see a little embarrassment and inferiority on her face.
It's best to tell her to die of shame, be sensitive, and leave the feast by herself.
Who knew that Ah Candle looked straight over and looked puzzled: "Don't you want to eat?" β
Luo Yumin's attitude was arrogant, and he despised Ah Candle's background that couldn't be on the table: "No matter how delicious a thing is, you should be tired of it from snack to big." β
Ah Candle looked strange, "I don't want to eat and keep staring at me." You're not going to like me, are you? β
οΌοΌοΌ
Luo Yumin: "What nonsense are you talking about!" β
Ah Candle looked at her and suddenly realized: "Oh~ You are duplicitous." β
Luo Yumin said viciously: "How can I like you?!" β
"You don't like me, and you're still staring at me?"
"I hate you!"
Ah Candle is reasonable: "I hate a person because I don't want to take a second look." Your eyes are almost sticking to my face, how can you hate me? β
Does that seem reasonable?
Others were in a trance.
Luo Yumin was so angry that she was about to scold, but Zhao Susu quickly took a piece of pastry and blocked her mouth.
Qi Zhen'er played a round and said to Ah Candle: "It's okay, don't pay attention to her, you eat yours." β
Ah Candle smiled: "Okay." β
With the sweet water, Ah Candle ate all the pastries in his hand, looking satisfied.
In her previous life, she was not in good health, and A-Niang never let her eat these things, but now she is fine, she can eat whatever she wants.
When she was full and looked up, everyone was looking at her.
Qi Zhen'er asked, "How old is Qin Niangzi this year?" β
Ah Candle replied, "Fourteen." β
Zhao Suxu inhaled: "Fourteen? It looks like a twelve-year-old. β
Song Wuyue said: "What else does Qin Niangzi want to eat?" Ask the cook to do it. β
Qi Zhen'er also said: "Qin Niangzi, do you want to taste this lotus root flour cake!" β
Zhao Suxu continued: "The Song family's green silk and white jade porridge is also very famous, Qin Niangzi can try it. β
β¦β¦
In the face of the clumsy enthusiasm of the nobles, Ah Candle's attitude was particularly easy.
She looked at everyone with those eyes that were always sincere, shy but still elegant, her bright eyes were full of joy, and the whole person looked at it obediently and sweetly.
"Thanks, I'm really full. Everyone is so nice~"
Qi Zhen'er couldn't help but cover her heart: "You can't always be moved by Xiao En Xiaohui, it's easy to be deceived in the future!" β
The others nodded.
So she didn't have any heart at all, and when others gave her something to eat, she thought she was a good person, and when she was sold, she had to give money to the people.
How can such a simple and simple child hurt others because of competition for favor?
In just half an hour, Ah Candle successfully entered the circle of nobles.
Someone rubbed her face, someone tickled her, Ah Candle laughed so much that tears came out, she hid to the side in a panic, and was taken over by Song Wuyue, nesting in her arms and laughing.
After glancing at this side, the county lord of Ancheng almost knocked over the wine cup.
Mrs. Song followed her gaze and said with a smile: "Wu Niang has always been arrogant, even Qi Niang is afraid of her, I didn't expect to fall in love with Qin Niangzi so much today." β
The county lord of Ancheng nodded with a smile, and asked the maid behind him to take a snack in front of him, "The lady likes this, send it to her." β
"Yes."
