Chapter 531 531. Mouthful
Cheng Xi said "hmm" and closed his eyes to take a nap.
The sound of raindrops outside the window is intermittent, like percussion music. The quilt is soft and warm, which makes you want to stop.
She felt like she had become one with the bed.
The kind that are inseparable.
The small bedroom once again regained its previous tranquility. Occasionally, the slight sound of turning books could be heard, and then disappeared into the tranquility.
The ancient book was quickly turned over by its owner. His big, bony hands closed the last page, and finally placed it on the wooden cabinet beside the bed.
Shen Xingluo subconsciously wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed. Then he thought of something again and lowered his eyes to his side. Cheng Xi's palm-sized white face came into view. The pear dimples on both sides of his cheeks were now almost shallow. It can be ignored, and his smile is a little more elegant and quiet than usual.
She likes to laugh.
Especially when the bad taste strikes, the eyes become narrow and shining, and they always look at people with a light.
Shen Xingluo paused and took back his extended hand.
Later.
The people in the bed were not disturbed and slept very peacefully.
It was already an hour later when Cheng Xi woke up again. The light rain outside the house had stopped at some point, and all he could hear was a very regular and slow ticking sound on the eaves.
She stretched out her hands with satisfaction.
"What do you want to eat this morning?"
"Let's have clear soup noodles."
"Okay, I'm sure your mouth will be full of oil."
". Put more. Just some vegetables.”
Shen Xingluo’s lips twitched when he thought of all the sauced beef on the table last night.
"Hmph."
Aren't you happy to let you eat the deluxe version?
What kind of family has so many demands? Others can’t even eat what they want.
So that day’s breakfast, apart from a few bowls of light and light soup noodles, only had a few dishes of side dishes. The only thing that could be considered a meat dish was one salted duck egg per person.
Everyone really had their mouths watering after eating.
The moment the salted duck egg is peeled off, a circle of golden oil immediately appears around the salted egg yolk. Use chopsticks to pick it up and put it in your mouth. It is full of salty aroma and the taste is endless.
"Daughter, please give me a few more salted duck eggs."
"Dad, are you planning to go on a long trip and are going to be escorts again?"
"That can't be done. "
Cheng Daqian drank a bowl of clear soup noodles with a grunt, "The salted duck eggs in the training room always taste a little bad, and they are not satisfying."
Cheng Xi: .
You are always picky.
If 666 hears this, he will definitely argue with the old man, because he is a purchaser.
“Okay, I’ll install a few more for you as a thank you for your recognition of my daughter’s cooking skills.”
“My daughter’s cooking skills are definitely beyond compare.”
Cheng Daqian immediately gave a thumbs up, "That's one of the best in the world!"
*
On the day of Xingqing Festival, the light rain cleared up, and before noon the Golden Crow popped up.
Shen Xingluo took Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi to offer incense to Shen's father and Shen's mother. Cheng Daqian rarely went to the virtual training room over there, sitting in the yard and drinking face to face with Mr. Xu, silently not talking.
After lunch, everyone changed from their depressed state in the morning and started clamoring to go for an outing to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.
It’s rare for a family to get together, so of course this small request must be met.
So when Fuguang prepared the carriage, the group began to walk leisurely towards the outskirts of the city.
When passing by the main street, there was a bustling sound outside. Cheng Xi opened the corner of the carriage curtain and looked around, and found that many people dressed as maids and servants were waiting in a long line.
"This is the newly opened fruit wine shop of the Qin family."
"Wow - this is the main street of the capital. The Qin family really has a good foundation." "The Wu'an Hou Mansion also has a good foundation. , your upcoming lipstick shop is also on this street.”
"Huh? How did my brother know about it?"
She didn't know any of the shareholders.
Shen Xingluo raised his hand and pointed to a shop that was being renovated not far away, "It should be that shop."
The aunts and sisters looked at each other and saw a shop not far from the fruit wine shop. In the store, several people dressed as servants were carrying things back and forth. They were wearing the clothes of the servants of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
Obviously, this is it.
Shen Xingqi was once again amazed by her best friend’s huge family background.
"Mrs. Hou likes her daughter very much. Shops in this area are willing to use her daughter to practice with her juniors."
But why does she think that the lady doesn't have such a personality?
Cheng Xi paused after hearing this, and Shen Xingluo noticed something strange about her.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Shen Xingluo did not continue to ask. The carriage passed by the long queue outside the fruit wine shop and went straight to the suburbs. After arriving at Zhuangzi, the two elders were very interested in potato growth. Out of curiosity, she asked Wang An to take her to the fields. Shen Xingqi took Wangshu to the back mountain with a bamboo basket, planning to make some green dumplings to eat.
Within a few minutes, Zhuangzi was left with only two people.
“What did you want to say just now, but is it related to the Wu’an Hou Mansion?”
"I can't explain clearly. I always feel that something is a bit inconsistent."
Wu'anhou has a cheerful temperament and a heroic spirit unique to a military commander. He is no different from other men in the backyard. He has three wives and four concubines, and he has a few wives. Children are treated equally.
Mrs. Wu'anhou is noble and elegant, has her own rules for dealing with people and things, and is a proper and virtuous housekeeper.
But she trusted her instincts.
Shen Xingluo also believed in her intuition.
The two people had special experiences in their past lives and were blessed by the system and space. They had been in danger many times. Their rich enough experiences allowed them to develop keen intuition. Sometimes feeling is more reliable than experience.
"In the previous life, the prince of Wu'an died young, and the Wu'an mansion did not marry into the Jiang family. The prince never participated in the battle for the heir among the princes throughout his life. In the end, the title was inherited by the youngest concubine."
“Many things have changed in this life.”
The youngest bastard is not the sickly son of his cousin aunt.
When Cheng Xi saw Shen Xingluo meditating, he knew that his past life experience had no reference value.
Shen Xingluo really didn't think of anything worthy of reference. In his previous life, Marquis Wu An never took a stand in the party and government, and his legitimate son died young and there were no outstanding juniors in the family. Therefore, the information collected about this family lost its meaning.
"I vaguely remember that Miss Qu married far away."
"Married far away? Not the capital?"
"No."
" This is strange.”
The legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, with such a status, she is qualified to be a queen, so why would she marry far away?
The two couldn't figure out what was wrong, and finally put the matter behind them and waited for another day of inspiration - at least they changed a lot of things unintentionally, and the development of this life will definitely be different. .
“Let’s go and see how the corn is growing.”
As for the potatoes?
Those acres of land were cared for by Wang An as if they were in his heart. It would be strange if something unexpected happened.
When the two of them arrived at the field leisurely, Cheng Daqian and Mr. Xu were enthusiastically pulling at the soil lumps, as if there were a bunch of golden lumps buried in them.
“Hey, why not?”
“Master, it’s still early to harvest the potatoes. Now is the time when they are growing wildly.”
“That’s it. ”
The potato seedlings are growing very vigorously. It has been two months since they were planted, and they will be ready for harvest in more than 30 days.
