Ikei had just finished busy and was about to make lunch.

I saw a carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard, a little guy stretched his neck to look into the courtyard, raised his eyebrows and smiled the moment he saw Chixi, and asked politely: "This sister-in-law, is this the Xi family?" ”

Chi Xi squinted his eyes and asked vigilantly, "What are you looking for the Xi family?" ”

"My family has some relationship with Mr. Xi, and I came to visit, but I don't know if Mr. Xi is at home?"

"Not there."

Chi Xi instantly thought of Shen Ruyu, who was beaten by his father-in-law in Zuixianglou that day.

Shen Ruyu has a grudge against her father-in-law, she has the same hatred with her father-in-law, and naturally she doesn't have much affection for Shen Ruyu, so she wrinkled her brows and said, "If it's okay, please go back!" ”

She said that, turned her head and walked to the kitchen, refusing to leave a superfluous look to the little maid.

The little servant returned to the carriage and whispered: "My lord, Mr. Xi is not at home, should we go back first?" ”

Shen Ruyu sat in the carriage cooking tea, her eyes flashed slightly when she heard the words, and then said lightly: "No need, just wait here, he will always come back." ”

The little girl pursed her lips and whispered very reluctantly: "My lord, you have come in person and delayed for so many days, so it's okay if Xi Gongzi doesn't appreciate it, and it's ...... So rude and reckless, why would you give in to him? ”

He is really not worth it for his own adults.

What kind of big man is his family?

In Kyoto City, except for the emperor, no one dares to punch and kick his family, but the emperor has always respected his own adults, and he has never said anything serious, let alone fight?

In this world, there is only the surname Xi who is bold, rude and reckless and not afraid of death.

When Shen Ruyu heard this, he couldn't help but think of how he was pressed and beaten by Xi Dazhuang, he gritted his back molars a little angrily, and said softly with a smile: "Shen Tao, are you the master or am I the master?" And thou hast come down to me? ”

Shen Tao has been following his adult since he was a child, and when he heard the adult's tone, he knew that the adult was angry.

He trembled, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My lord, my subordinates don't dare, my subordinates are just worthless for adults." ”

"Whether it's worth it or not, I said it."

Shen Ruyu picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "He was not only a close friend with me, but also the emperor's own cousin, the emperor needs him, the court needs him, and the people of the world need him even more." What if I accommodate him? Don't say more, or don't stay with me. ”

Shen Tao panicked in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”

The smell of cooking in the pond stream wafts into the air.

Even Shen Ruyu, who was sitting in the carriage, could smell it.

Chixi stewed a wild yam pork rib soup, the pork ribs are made with cooking wine and ginger and green onions to remove the fishy foam, then put in the spiritual spring water and simmer until soft, then put in the washed and cut wild yam stew together, and finally put in the wolfberry and green onion out of the pot, the fragrance permeates the whole kitchen.

One soup is not enough to eat.

She boiled the bacon and cut it into slices, stir-fried it with bad chili peppers, and sprinkled a handful of garlic sprouts after the bacon was fried, and the fragrance was instantly stimulated.

Finally, stir-fry a small green vegetable with minced garlic.

Two dishes and one soup are their meals at noon today.

"Shen Tao, you go and ask if you can have lunch at their house."

Shen Ruyu was born in a famous family, and she is a high-ranking power, and she has eaten and lived with the emperor when she is busy, what kind of delicacies have you never tasted?

But now, I was aroused by a peasant woman's cooking.

Shen Tao swallowed his saliva when he smelled the fragrance, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, my lord, wait a minute, my subordinates will ask." ”

As soon as Chi Xi walked out of the kitchen and was about to call someone to eat, he saw the little girl standing at the gate of the courtyard with a smile and stretched his neck and asked, "Mrs. Xi, I haven't eaten with my family yet, I wonder if I can eat at your house?" ”

Chi Xi refused without hesitation: "No." ”

The little guy was choked up in an instant, and the smile on his face couldn't be contained.

At this time, Shen Ruyu opened the curtain of the carriage and walked down, standing behind the little maid and said with a gentle smile: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I don't know if you still remember that you and Brother Xi were invited to dinner in Zuixiang Mansion in Xia?" ”

Shen Ruyu, people are like their names, warm and moist like jade, and they smile when they see people.

But those who know him well know that these are just illusions.

He is a resolute person who never soft-hearted, and many people say behind his back that he is a hypocritical smiling tiger.

Chi Xi raised his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he wrinkled his brows and said, "Are you thinking about me collecting debts?" ”

"Of course not."

Shen Ruyu smiled and arched her hand: "I just think that my sister-in-law's cooking skills should be good, so I want to taste what it tastes like. ”

"I'm sorry, only my husband can eat the food I cook."

Shen Ruyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

He has been smooth sailing since he was a child, except for Xi Xiangduo and his wife, he has never planted a heel in anyone.

Tian Cuihe packed up and walked out of the egg room, and when she raised her eyes and saw Shen Ruyu, her face changed instantly.

Shen Ruyu hurriedly gave up his hand: "The junior has seen Mrs. Xi. ”

Tian Cuihe pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she was silent for a moment before she said, "Since you're here, let's come in!" ”

As soon as Chi Xi's brows furrowed, Tian Cuihe said softly: "The person who comes is a guest, we can't be too rude." ”

Chixi could only open the courtyard door and let people in.

Shen Ruyu and Shen Tao brought a lot of gifts to the door.

The expression on Tian Cuihe's face was very complicated, she wrung her eyebrows and looked at Shen Ruyu, and said lightly: "Shen Gongzi, I don't know what you came here for?" The original thing is over, and now our mother and son just want to live here in peace, Shen Gongzi will go back after lunch! ”

Shen Ruyu pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "The original matter, there is another hidden secret, it is related to the reputation of the Xi family for generations, and it is also about the name of the old marquis's loyalty and courage in his life, doesn't the old lady want to return his innocence?" ”

This sentence seems to have hit Tian Cuihe's sore spot.

A sharp light flashed in her always soft eyes, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Ruyu, and her voice became cold: "Shen Gongzi, the deceased has passed away, there is no need to worry, the living still have the rest of their lives to live, and they can't always dwell on the past." Whatever you ask for, please don't bother. ”

Shen Ruyu didn't expect that not only would Xi Dazhuang not advance, but the always gentle old lady Xi would also have such a firm attitude.

Such an abnormality made him feel that there was something else wrong with the original thing.

Chikei sets the meal on the table.

Even if she didn't want to, she couldn't refute Tian Cuihe's face, because there were many people, she made another steamed fish.

Shen Ruyu looked at the food on the table, which was full of color and aroma, and chuckled and complimented: "Mrs. Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good, these foods seem simple, but the taste is very fragrant, although they are not eaten, they are known to taste good." ”

Chi Xi didn't have the heart to get close to him, and said indifferently: "Don't eat or sleep, Shen Gongzi can eat!" ”

Shen Ruyu was deeply frustrated, sighed helplessly, and also lifted the chopsticks after Tian Cuihe moved the chopsticks.

The cooking skills of Ikexi are really good.

The quality of the ingredients in the Lingquan space is high, and when cooked with Lingquan water, the taste is very delicious.

Shen Ruyu was stunned after taking the first bite, and tasted other dishes one after another, and finally glanced up at Chixi strangely.

Only then did he notice that Chi Xi was very beautiful, with a small face as white as jade, long eyelashes, and picturesque eyebrows, which was not bad compared to the princess in the palace.

He asked suspiciously, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I don't know where you learned this cooking skill?" ”

It's obviously a simple dish, and although it can't be said to be better than the imperial chef in the palace, it tastes really good, and it is by no means something that a rural peasant woman can make.
