"I'm sorry, I'm here for me—" Du Yongxiao pointed his fingers, "It's not very good." When he was a child, his family was poor, he had a high fever, and he couldn't see a doctor, so he was delayed! ”

Du Yongxiao accompanied Jiang Ling'er on the way back, with his hands behind his back, and said softly.

"It's fine. On the contrary, I think he is very good. Jiang Ling'er glanced at Du Yongxiao charmingly, "In this kind of society now, there are not many people who are as innocent as him." ”

"Yes, what's carefree, no desire for power, no hatred, it's good to live happily like this." Du Yongxiao sighed and suddenly sneezed.

"I'm sorry, it's cold, it looks like I'm going to catch a cold!" Du Yongxiao rubbed his nose and smiled apologetically.

At this time, he happened to walk to the front of the villa where Jiang Ling'er lived, and Jiang Ling'er smiled: "Do you want to go in and sit?" I have English black tea there, which warms up the body and is good for treating wind chills and colds! ”

As she spoke, Jiang Ling'er leaned sideways to give up her position, groaned with a smile, and made an inviting gesture to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "Forget it, I'll go back and cook a bowl of ginger syrup first!" ”

Jiang Ling'er smiled, hugged her arms and said, "If this is in the UK, it is very rude to refuse a lady's invitation." Or, do you have any bad intentions that make you afraid of me? Don't think too much about it, I'm just politely inviting you to a cup of English black tea that can cure your cold, and nothing else. ”

Du Yongxiao paused at the door for a second or two, smiled slightly, looked at Jiang Ling'er's pretty face that was fascinated by death, and said, "What you said was just a cup of tea." ”

"Of course."

"Then, I'm welcome, bother first!"

"Hehe, that's right! Anyway, we're friends too. ”

Jiang Ling'er smiled and led Du Yongxiao into the villa.

Compared with the building where Du Yongxiao lived, this one was a little smaller, except for one housekeeper, that is, three maids, who showed surprise when they saw Jiang Ling'er bring the man in.

Jiang Ling'er didn't explain, and beckoned them: "Go get busy." He led Du Yongxiao upstairs.

Du Yongxiao couldn't be as calm as Jiang Ling'er, and smiled at them very hatlessly.

The housekeeper and the maid looked at each other, then looked at Du Yongxiao's back, shook his head, and looked incredible.

……

Second floor –

Jiang Linger took Du Yongxiao into the private tea room, and then took out the silver tea set to help Du Yongxiao mix black tea.

This Assam black tea is native to India and is produced in small quantities, and has been exclusively consumed by the British aristocracy since the British colonized India.

After the British shipped Assam black tea to the UK, it was further processed and then packaged into English black tea for sale in the market.

Du Yongxiao sat in the tea room, his expression was calm, and he found that the style was very Westernized, it seemed that this Jiangling liked Western culture very much, and even the handicrafts placed around him were all European-style bottles and cans, as well as Western sculptures.

Looking at the other side of the tea room is a bookshelf, on which are placed all kinds of books, Du Yongxiao couldn't help but get up and go over to look through, but saw that in addition to some world famous books, there are many books on pirate themes.

Du Yongxiao took out a copy of "Pirates" written by Scott, flipped through it, and found that the bookmark was inserted at the end of the bookmark, and couldn't help but say: "You like pirates very much?" ”

Jiang Ling'er's hand that was mixing black tea trembled, turned her back to Du Yongxiao and smiled: "No, I just occasionally rummaged through it, and I think pirates are very mysterious." The most I watch is Peter Pan! ”

"Captain Hook?" Du Yongxiao turned his head and smiled, "I remember that he is Peter Pan's sworn enemy!" ”

Jiang Ling'er turned around and brought a cup of milky black tea and a small plate of biscuits, "I specially added milk and lemon juice to the milk tea, which is very good for treating and preventing colds." ”

"Thank you!" Du Yongxiao took the black tea and sniffed it, "Well, the craftsmanship is good." ”

"I rarely make tea myself." Jiang Ling'er smiled like a flower, "In the past, others helped me make tea. ”

"Looks like you're really a daughter." Du Yongxiao smiled, "Shouldn't I be very moved?" ”

Jiang Ling'er sneered and pointed to the black tea: "Try it first." ”

Du Yongxiao nodded, picked up the hot black tea, frowned, and took a sip as if it were drinking Chinese medicine.

When he was training at Scotland Yard, Du Yongxiao drank a lot of black tea like Ghost Guy, so he was mentally prepared, but he found that Jiang Ling'er's cup was exceptionally delicious, unlike other black teas, which are difficult to swallow and bitter.

"Well, that's good." Du Yongxiao's eyebrows stretched. "How did you make it?"

Jiang Ling'er giggled: "Secret." After a pause, "Do you know rum?" Rum is also known as pirate wine, many Caribbean pirates are adrift at sea all the year round, and need a cheap and delicious wine to anesthetize themselves, so they finally choose rum made from sugar cane, because rum can be paired with many raw materials and is easy to mix. ”

Du Yongxiao nodded and drank the black tea gently, "It seems that you have a deep study of pirate culture." ”

"Just interest." Jiang Ling'er smiled slightly, "Just like you-—— what are you interested in being a police officer?" Homicide? ”

Du Yongxiao glanced up at Jiang Ling'er: "No, I don't like to kill." Less like gore. If you think that the police are all about killing people for pleasure and preying on citizens, you are very wrong! The police are the defenders of justice and peace. ”

"Really?" Jiang Ling'er shrugged, "But I see that many police officers in Hong Kong are corrupt, and this is also to uphold justice?" ”

"Every era has its limitations." Du Yongxiao put down the teacup, "Just like pirates, who used to represent freedom and chivalry, but now, they are a bunch of extremely vicious people!" In one sentence, everyone will be punished! ”

Jiang Ling'er's pretty face changed slightly, and when she saw that Du Yongxiao finished drinking, she went to bring out her share of black tea, sat on the sofa opposite and said to Du Yongxiao: "Let's not talk about this topic, although I am very curious about you being a policeman." ”

Du Yongxiao took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Yes, after all, you are a girl's family, and if you want to talk about it, you should also talk about some ups and downs." ”

Jiang Ling'er raised her skirt slightly with her hands on the sofa opposite Du Yongxiao, and then folded her legs together elegantly, her right foot was on top of her left leg, and she picked up her bedtime tea and smiled at Du Yongxiao and said: "So, let's talk about British dramas, such as "Hamlet-——", do you know that there are many poisonous scenes in Hamlet's play, and they are all in this kind of black tea!" ”

Du Yongxiao was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the cup of black tea he had just drunk.

At this time, Jiang Ling'er smiled at Du Yongxiao, leaned forward slightly, and smiled like a flower: "Du Yongxiao, Superintendent Du, aren't you afraid that I will poison the tea?" ”
