Chapter 205 Private meeting by the lake
The Duke’s Mansion.
Mrs. Qiao was sweating profusely in the kitchen, putting the freshly made snacks on a white jade plate, and then looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
These pastries are her specialty. They are not only exquisite in appearance, but also rich in texture, soft, glutinous and sweet.
Then, she took out the soup cup steaming in the steamer and filled the tray with snacks.
She didn't leave in a hurry. She picked up the impatiens juice prepared in advance, dipped some of it with her chopsticks, and put it in the center of the snack.
The cook next to her smiled and joked: "How come my aunt is so relaxed and carefree today and cooks so finely? My snacks seem too perfunctory compared to yours."
Qiao Niang was a little embarrassed: "It was the old lady's order. The second master has been busy with government affairs and taking care of business these days. It's really too hard. Let me make some snacks and take them with you to satisfy your hunger. That's it. It looks fancy, but it’s definitely not as delicious as your snack.”
The cook complained: "But what the second lady wants is to look good. Yesterday she sent the maid over and told me to make it more delicate.
I have so much work every day that I don't even have time to breathe, and she still asks for this and that, so why not just go to Zuixianglou and order a few things. "
While he was complaining, he suddenly fell silent: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, here he is."
While talking, Liangsu came to the kitchen in person with the maid, who was also carrying a food box in her hand.
The cook immediately put on a smile and said, "Second Miss, why are you here in person?"
"Miss, I don't feel at ease with what you are doing. I have to take a look for myself. Where are the snacks I asked you to make today?"
The cook diligently brought the snacks over: "They are all here. There are three snacks in total and four dishes of side dishes."
Liangsu frowned slightly, a little displeased: "Didn't I tell you that this snack must be more delicate, and it's better to have some tricks? Why are you still doing the same thing?"
The maid behind her quietly tugged on Liang Su's sleeve and pointed towards Qiao Niang.
Liang Su's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked straight towards Qiao Niang.
Qiao Niang stopped what she was doing and saluted Liang Su.
Without even looking at her, Liangsu ordered the maid: "Just this, this, and this plate, just pretend to leave."
Qiao Niang was stunned: "Second Miss, I made this snack for the master."
Liangsu glared: "Can't you make another one?"
"Yes, but you can't eat this snack."
"My dad can eat it, but I can't?"
Mrs. Qiao hesitated: "I added a lot of precious medicinal materials to the filling of this snack."
Liang Su was a little impatient: "Why are you so verbose? I just want to give you two plates of snacks? How much are they worth? Take them away!"
The maid came forward and put the snacks into the food box.
"No," Ms. Qiao still tried to stop her: "I'm not saying that I can't bear it, but your daughter's family really can't eat this snack. If you want it, I'll make it for you again later."
Liangsu pushed Qiao Niang away impatiently: "Why are you so shameless? I eat two plates of snacks from you, and that's because I look down on you. If you continue to be nagging, don't blame me for being rude!"
Qiao Niang was pushed and staggered back, her hands directly resting on the edge of the hot pot, which was so hot that tears flowed out.
"Second Miss, listen to me..."
Liangsu glared and shouted angrily, "Is it over yet? Get out!"
Qiao Niang was used to swallowing her anger, but after being scolded by Liang Su, she didn't dare to speak any more.
Liangsu and the maid took snacks and side dishes and walked away proudly together.
After returning to his room, he dressed up carefully, then left the Duke's Mansion with his maid, and went directly to Mr. Chu's date.
The two of them still met by the lake, in a sparsely populated place. When Liangsu arrived, her Mr. Chu was already waiting on the boat.
Dressed in white, he is tall and slightly thin, with a delicate appearance and a scholarly air all over his body. Except for being a little thin and lacking Gu Xizhi's dignity and fortitude, Liangsu was quite satisfied with other aspects.
When Mr. Chu saw Liang Su, he immediately got up from the boat, walked to the bow of the boat, and stretched out his hand to the master and servant.
Liangsu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand, placed it in Mr. Chu's palm, and used his strength to get on the boat.
The maid carried the food box and followed closely behind. Take out the snacks from the food box and place them on the table in the painting boat.
Liangsu blushed: "I made some snacks with my own hands and brought them to the young master to try."
Mr. Chu looked at the snacks on the table with admiration in his eyes: "The princess can give me a different surprise every time. I didn't expect that in addition to your martial arts skills, you can also play the piano, compose poetry, and be good at cooking."
“I have always felt that it is a very happy and satisfying thing to be able to wash hands and make soup for family members with my own hands.
Practicing martial arts is not what I want from the bottom of my heart. As long as I can have someone to rely on, I don't want to show up and show off my sword and stick. "
Mr. Chu appreciated it more and more: "What the princess said is true. You are able to stabilize the country with military force, and you can be rich in the world through business. If you are a wife, you must be gentle and considerate."
Liang Su glanced at him angrily: "You haven't eaten my snack yet, why are your lips so sweet?"
Mr. Chu laughed loudly, invited her into the cabin, and ordered the boatman to sail.
The painting boat cuts across the sparkling lake, and the evening breeze blows in at dusk, bringing with it the coolness of early autumn, which is very pleasant.
The gauze of the boat was rippling. Two people were sitting in the boat. One was playing the harp and the other was playing the flute. The harp and flute matched each other, and the melody was so touching that it made one cry and complain.
When they were tired, they sat across from each other, eating small dishes and snacks, drinking wine and composing poems, as if they were late to meet each other.
The night is getting darker, and the stars and moon shine together, falling into the lake like broken silver rippling.
The night wind is getting cooler.
The temperature in the cabin was gradually rising.
Mr. Chu felt like his whole body was on fire, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation made his breathing quicken.
Through the swaying soft light of the lanterns on the boat, the eyes of the beauty across from her became hot. Her head was lowered, shy and timid, delicate and beautiful, even more charming than the fairy under the moon.
Mr. Chu's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed hard, swallowing the saliva together with the desire that kept coming up, and then it rose up like a ball of fire, constantly teasing him.
"Princess Princess, I, I..."
He stammered: "Do you feel cold?"
Liangsu glanced at the gauze curtain that was fluttering in the night breeze and hummed softly.
Mr. Chu pushed away the Qin in his arms, walked over and lowered the heavy curtain behind the gauze curtain.
The red lanterns hanging on the boat were blocked by the curtains.
The boat suddenly became darker and full of ambiguity.
Liangsu was a little flustered and stood up: "It's a bit too boring like this, and I can't see the scenery outside."
Unexpectedly, I got up in a hurry, tripped on my own skirt, and staggered.
Mr. Chu took the opportunity to hug her into his arms, and his arms were full of warm and fragrant soft jade.
Liangsu could feel the other person's arms touching her slender waist, hugging her and pressing against the other person's chest.
A smell unique to men, mixed with the aroma of wine, fills the nose, and the man's arms are thick and broad, full of brutal strength.
Her heartbeat suddenly beat like a drum, and she struggled in panic: "Mr. Chu, don't do this."
