Chapter Twenty-Eight: Whose Preference Is It?
She didn't even look at Lu Shangxuan, and sat directly beside Fu Qing.
"Mother, please drink tea."
Fu Qing brought a cup of flower tea with a suitable temperature to Dou Lianyi, but Dong Ge'er ignored it and ate the pastry by himself.
"Okay."
Dou Lianyi smiled lightly and reached out to take it, but he didn't care about Dong Ge'er's attitude.
"Lianniang, you're here."
Seeing that he was ignored, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Lu Shangxuan's eyes, and he deliberately stepped forward and raised his voice to attract her attention.
As the corners of his clothes flicked, a strong scent of ambergris came to his nose, mixed with a faint smell of a few wisps of fat powder, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.
Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, and subconsciously avoided his body backwards, and at the same time doubts suddenly arose in his heart.
The smell of this fat powder is somewhat familiar, as if it was smelled somewhere not long ago.
"Let's see if today's meal is to your liking, if you don't like it, I'll ask my subordinates to retire and make it again."
Lu Shangxuan didn't notice Dou Lianyi's dislike for him at this time, he just sat on the other side of Dou Lianyi, showed a smile that he thought was charming, and said in a low tone.
"Fu Qing, do you like the dishes that Young Master Lu arranged today?"
However, after Dou Lianyi glanced at the dishes on the table, he turned his head and asked Fu Qinglai intimately.
Fu Qing was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, got up and responded politely: "If you go back to your mother, the meal that the young master ordered someone to prepare is very rich, and my son likes it very much." ”
In the next second, he changed his words, and continued to speak with a little distress: "It's just that I remember that you have always liked sweets, but most of today's lunch is salty and spicy, I don't know if my mother has been taboo recently." ”
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Shangxuan's face froze suddenly.
Dou Lianyi turned his eyes to look at Lu Shangxuan with a smile, and said softly: "I still remember that my sister-in-law likes salty and spicy tastes, and every meal is spicy and unpleasant, and her husband also praised her for being particularly pitiful when she sweats on her forehead, which is better than Xizi." ”
This kind of sweet talk Lu Shangxuan is absolutely impossible to mention to others, let alone to Dou Lianyi, so as soon as the words fell, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't even maintain a smile.
"Lianniang, what are you talking about, how could I say such a thing to Lian'er, it must be some unsightly subordinate who is talking nonsense in front of you, if I know who is destroying the relationship between our husband and wife, I will definitely drive him out of the county king's mansion!"
Lu Shangxuan glanced at the servants in the chrysanthemum pavilion fiercely with a threat, and finally his eyes fell on Fu Qing's immature little face, and he said: "I didn't expect Fu Qing to be so attentive to your mother, but it seems that I am careless in comparison." ”
In the end, it was a military attache who had fought on the battlefield, and the deterrent power in Lu Shangxuan's eyes immediately stared at the young Fu Qing in place and couldn't move.
His little hands had been clenched into small fists under the table, and he only hated himself for not being strong enough.
At this moment, a hand was gently covered, Dou Lianyi lowered his eyes and looked at him gently, and his voice sounded: "Fu Qing is a child I personally recognized, and I am very happy to be attentive to me." ”
"Hehe, Lianniang, it's good if you are happy," Lu Shangxuan had no choice but to retract his gaze, and then pointed to Dong Ge'er, who was bored eating, and said: "It's just Lian Niang, don't be too partial, after all, Dong Ge'er is also your child." ”
"What the husband said is that Lianniang should keep it in mind."
The corners of Dou Lianyi's mouth rose slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Seeing Dou Lianyi so obedient, Lu Shangxuan felt a little more comfortable, "Eat, the dishes are cold." ”
Looking at the table of red, spicy, and oily dishes, Dou Lianyi felt a little sick to her stomach, she didn't like to eat too hard, and she could only barely hold some green vegetables with chopsticks and put them in the bowl.
On the contrary, Lu Shangxuan and Dong Ge'er ate happily, and even called someone to ask the stove room to prepare a few more servings.
Fu Qing couldn't stand it, he stood up a little unhappily, and said, "Mother, Young Master Lu, I'll walk away for a while in advance, and I'll be back soon." ”
Dou Lianyi nodded, but Lu Shangxuan didn't raise his head, deaf to him.
Soon after, the people brought up spicy chicken, spicy pork ribs, and double pepper elbows one by one, and for a while, the entire chrysanthemum pavilion was filled with an unacceptable choking smell.
"Husband, you can have dinner with Brother Dong'er, I'm already full."
Seeing that Fu Qing hadn't come back for a long time, Dou Lianyi had no interest in continuing to stay, she put down her chopsticks, and after saying it in a flat tone, she was ready to get up and leave.
"Wait, Lianniang, you are dressed so well today, where are you going if you don't have lunch with your husband and me?"
Lu Shangxuan grabbed Dou Lianyi's wrist at once, and he only felt that it was as smooth as mutton fat jade, which made him even more reluctant to let go.
"Let go!"
Being touched by Lu Shangxuan like this, Dou Lianyi's whole body was awkward, and she pumped it out hard, but she didn't expect that she couldn't pull it out for a while.
"Lianniang, what are you doing, aren't you still angry about me and Lian'er? I've explained it to you, so don't be so cautious, okay? ”
Lu Shangxuan pretended to persuade while pulling Dou Lianyi into his arms with his hands.
Just as the two were at a stalemate, and Dou Lianyi was even wondering if he would simply tear his face, Fu Qing's voice rang out in time.
"Mother, I've gone to find a few desserts for you, and some lighter dishes, you can eat a few bites, so as not to starve yourself."
Hearing this, Dou Lianyi turned his head to look over, and just saw Fu Qing running over, followed by several maids, all with dishes in their hands.
And Lu Shangxuan sneered, had to let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "I ran out for this matter, Fu Qing, you are still young, you can't learn those flattering methods." ”
"Husband, I think Fu Qing is very good like this, and he is much more clever than Brother Dong'er who knows how to bury his head in hard work, what do you think?"
This time, Dou Lianyi couldn't help it at all, she rubbed her wrist that was clenched red, and unceremoniously slammed it back.
At the same time, those sweets were all placed in front of Dou Ripple one by one, all of which were the tastes she loved to eat in the past.
In particular, one of the desserts with pink and lovely colors and crystal clear looks is the most attractive, which makes Dou Lianyi curious.
"What is this, I don't think I've seen it before."
"Back to the young lady, this dish is peony jelly, made by squeezing peony flowers into juice, it tastes sweet and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless, and the young lady will definitely like it."
A maid with her head hanging down and her face couldn't see clearly stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice.
Dou Lianyi frowned, and subconsciously asked, "What's going on with your voice?" ”
