Chapter 2278 Light Gate Lintel 78
He didn't know how long he sat there until someone came in and asked about the meal.
She said that the little miracle doctor didn't want to eat so extravagantly, so ordinary home-cooked food with four dishes and one soup would be enough, or she could get some ingredients and handle it herself.
Guo Siyuan found it funny. If you don’t want the delicacies, why bother? “Just give me whatever you want. Just say that I will also go to her place to eat and prepare more.”
After a while, the person came back to reply. Guo Siyuan became irritated when he started to pay the bills, including two pounds of sow pork and two pounds of cabbage.
"Stop." He ordered: "As long as you are not asking for something that is difficult to find even if you search all over the world, don't talk about it. Choose the main thing to talk about!"
The person who came here was not stupid, he immediately understood the spirit and just said: "The meal is served when Youchu lights the lamp."
This is what he wants to hear. What about pork and cabbage? How much energy does his dignified young owner of Huoyun Villa have to take care of the minutiae and the needle and thread?
The ingredients were delivered quickly. They must have been obtained from the kitchen or warehouse, so Xining ran to the small kitchen next to them to start cooking.
Because the young owner of the village would also come over for dinner, the women who knew how to cook came over to help, lighting the fire, adding firewood, boiling water and washing vegetables. Wu Jue couldn't help but leaned against the door panel with his knife in his hand and looked at the busy things inside. commonplace.
When it was time to hold the lamp, Guo Siyuan came over. Looking at the table, there was a spicy and sour cabbage, a plate of scrambled eggs, a bowl of radish and mutton soup, and a casserole. There is only one dish less than the original four dishes and one soup, which is really lazy.
The maids put away the bowls and chopsticks, then carried glass basins and celadon teacups to help them rinse their mouths. These valuable utensils make the dishes on the table even more shabby.
When the lid of the casserole was opened, a smell suddenly hit your nostrils. When Guo Siyuan saw it, he immediately felt funny. Two kilograms of pork were here.
"Pork with dried plums and vegetables." Xining picked up a piece of meat with a smile, and also put some thick and dark vegetables on it.
Umeboshi? Guo Siyuan also added some and tasted it. Instead of just drying the vegetables, in order to keep the vegetables longer, pickle the vegetables and dry them in the sun. When you usually eat it, soak it in water and then burn it.
I keep it here to cook some dry vegetable cakes for those who have to go out to do errands, or to take them with me to eat on the road. Because when I went out before, I missed the time to enter the city and couldn't find the village. I just ate it once. The taste was not good. It was just a filling meal. I didn't expect that I could cook meat.
Although there are only three dishes, they taste very good and can be eaten with rice. I am used to eating greasy food, so I drink less mutton soup. The meat with dried plums and vegetables was not greasy because of the oil, and the meat and skin were burned to a crisp. Even Guo Siyuan, who has always been a picky eater, ate three or four pieces.
After the three of them finished eating, there was only half a bowl of mutton soup and a little pork meat left on the table. The maids took them all away and served tea to remove the greasiness.
As soon as I picked it up and took a sip, someone asked Guo Siyuan to speak.
"What's the matter?" When he arrived at the study next to him, although Guo Siyuan was a little unhappy, he knew it wasn't a serious matter and wouldn't look for him.
"Young Master, the third prince has sent someone over, asking for the little miracle doctor by name."
Guo Siyuan frowned, this was a bit troublesome. It is impossible to say that the person is not here. Since this is already the case, it proves that the third prince is sure that the person is there.
There are still two days before the drug takes effect. It is possible that the third prince thought he invited someone from Xuanhumen to detoxify.
"Just say he left long ago." Yes, he is just not here. Even if you look at people entering Zhuangzi and insist that they are not there, you can still search Zhuangzi.
"The man said that if he is not allowed to see the little miracle doctor, whatever happens in the future will be all the business of Huoyun Villa. And I just received a letter, please have it read by the young master."
A small note was handed over, which was placed in the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet.
After reading it, Guo Siyuan thought about it and walked out of the study. I kept thinking about how to handle this matter along the way. When I entered the house and saw Xi Ning, I said, "The third prince has captured Master Liu and sent someone to see you."
If it was concealed and something happened to Liu Yulang, Xi Ning might complain. Since Liu Yulang was involved in Xuanhumen, if something happened to him, he should let the people in Xuanhumen know. Wu Jue, who was a little lazy after eating, suddenly became nervous, but he calmed down when he saw that Xi Ning looked normal.
Xining took a sip of tea and asked: "How many people are here?"
Guo Siyuan looked at the person who had come to report the news. The person immediately replied: "There are five people in total. One of them is wearing a long Confucian shirt and looks like a lobbyist. The other four are wearing short clothes and should be accompanying them for protection."
Do you want to seize them all and turn against them directly?
Guo Siyuan was thinking about how to deal with the third prince if he fell out. There were only two days before the drug took effect. He had already made an appointment to meet that night. The third prince should have prepared everything and was waiting for him to come. But on the other hand, rushing in here with people may not necessarily list the charges. Today, the main purpose is to use Liu Yulang to force Xining and ask Xining to go to the third prince to save people.
Xining said unexpectedly: "Then let him come."
"Someone came and asked the little miracle doctor to see him."
"Tsk" Xining chuckled: "Tell him that I have just finished eating and it is not appropriate to walk. If he doesn't want to come in, then go back while it's still early and the city gate is not closed yet."
The gates of the capital city are closed at five o'clock in the morning. At this time, mount your horse and hurry up. You can arrive in about an hour. The city gates are not closed at that time. It was a decision that made her not think about time, so she had to go back to the capital to meet the third prince, and Guo Siyuan had no time to prepare.
The messenger looked at Guo Siyuan hesitantly, and Guo Siyuan said: "Just reply like this."
He turned to Xining and asked: "Do you need to add anything else?"
Xi Ning said: "By the way, the Third Prince's people are very valuable. If something happens, no one can afford it, so we don't dare to stay with them. If they don't see them, they should go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will send them to the nearest inn or The government office was aggrieved all night.”
Guo Siyuan signaled that this would be the case, and the messenger immediately withdrew and trotted to answer the question.
Picking up the tea, Xining took a sip: "If anything happens later, they will all assume that I had a fever when I was a child."
What's the meaning?
Guo Siyuan and Wu Jue looked at each other in confusion. Even Guo Siyuan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. Anyway, the soldiers would come later to cover up the water and earth.
Soon someone came in and reported that the person had come out of the front living room and was being carried over by a guard.
The lobbyist didn't know martial arts. Although there was still time before the city gate was closed, he realized from the reply that this matter was not as easy to handle as expected. This place was deep in the house, so he asked the guards to carry him over to save time.
About a quarter of an hour later, someone at the door shouted from far to near: "Mr. Su, please slow down, little miracle doctor, Mr. Su is here!"
"Ouch, all my old bones will be broken by you." An older voice complained.
Someone stopped at the door and said they wanted to report, but the guard pushed him away and the person barged in directly.
After all, with the third prince as the backstage, he is very confident. Guo Siyuan looked ugly, but he had no choice but to follow Xi Ning and Wu Jue silently and sit at the round dining table.
The door curtain was lifted very high, and the cold air from outside rushed in. Fortunately, people came in quickly and the curtain fell again.
Mr. Su, with three long gray strands of beard, in his fifties, wearing a thick cotton white Confucian robe, walked in with his back straight.
Standing in front of the dining table, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a wisp of beard, he squinted his eyes and turned his nose upward, with contempt and pride: "Who is the little miracle doctor?"
Xining didn't even look at it. He just picked up the tea and drank it slowly. After finishing the drink, he took another sip. His movements were very soothing and contented.
