Dong Wu's craftsmanship has finally made some progress this year. If it doesn't improve, Dong Nuan will feel like she won't be able to eat anymore.
After all, Hanjianglou kept her mouth naughty!
Now that the weather is cold and the distance from the town to the county seat is long, the food has already become cold.
Hanjianglou quickly lit a fire and heated up the food.
Although he shared the house with his classmates, each of them had his own use of firewood and other materials for cooking.
There happened to be two stoves in the main room, and the house they lived in also had earthen kangs, so they were clearly separated, which saved a lot of trouble.
After all, the county seat is not in the village as they used to be, and firewood can be picked up in the mountains.
In the county town, you need to spend money to buy food.
Not to mention firewood.
In the past, a load of good firewood collected in Hanjiang Tower could be sold for hundreds of pennies.
Now the tide has turned, and it's his turn to buy firewood.
I'm afraid only he himself knows how it feels.
Hanjianglou worked quickly, heated up the meal, put Wen Shu's small table on the kang, and took Dong Nuan to eat.
The scholar's wife next door was quite curious. They also cooked a meal, which was not sumptuous, but just home-cooked food.
While serving the meal, she even asked her husband-in-law in a low voice: "Is that Mr. Hanlang's mother-in-law coming next door?"
The scholar got along relatively well with Hanjianglou, so he knew Dong Nuan's identity. When his mother-in-law asked, he shook his head: "No, she is my fiancée."
"That's the mother-in-law." The scholar's wife muttered, but she didn't ask any more questions.
In Hanjiang Tower, the food is more abundant.
I roasted a chicken and steamed a portion of pork belly. Dong Nuan was willing to buy seasonings, so it tasted pretty good. I also stewed mutton soup, scrambled eggs, and made dumplings, also stuffed with mutton.
Dong Nuan bought all kinds of meat available, most of which were relatively delicious mutton.
Because it's well processed, the mutton doesn't have any odor.
Hanjianglou's food has been simple recently. He eats alone, and since the exam is approaching, he is too lazy to do anything, so he just eats a simple bite.
However, there is some oil and water in daily life, but not as much as today.
Although there was a lot of oil and water, Hanjianglou didn't think about finishing it just because he was eating it. Instead, he picked up some vegetables for Dongnuan first: "Nuanya, eat quickly. It's cold, and it will get cold in a while."
Dong Nuan only ate a few bites of eggs and drank less than half a bowl of mutton soup. He didn't eat any of the meat. He gave all of it to Hanjianglou and stopped eating.
Hanjianglou knew Dong Nuan's appetite, so he didn't force Dong Nuan to stop eating. Seeing Dong Nuan put down his chopsticks, he started to eat by himself.
Hanjianglou was used to being rough in front of Dong Nuan, so he didn't think about paying attention to his image or anything else. He ate rice, vegetables and soup, but he still had some table manners and snored loudly without drinking.
"When did you make the appointment with the eldest girl?" Hanjianglou knew that Dong Nuan had made an appointment with Gou Qingyun to stay at her house for two nights.
His first exam is tomorrow, and Dong Nuan will return to town early the morning after tomorrow.
I'm actually worried about Hanjiang Tower, but I don't want to ruin Dongnuan's reputation, so I won't stay overnight.
Fortunately, he knew that the two sons of the magistrate's family were both studying in Fucheng, so they would not run into Dong Nuan, and a lot of embarrassing troubles were avoided.
After all, Dong Nuan has now blossomed, grown taller, and has flesh on his face. How can a mortal be unmoved by such a graceful beauty?
In addition to being secretly jealous, Hanjianglou also didn't want Dong Nuan to get into trouble.
If he is really attracted by the powerful, it would be fine if he is reasonable. If not, with his current status, he really cannot protect Dong Nuan.
So, I still have to study.
Of course, Hanjiang Tower has another option, which is to go to the capital in advance to find relatives.
Looking for his so-called relatives, although the other party's family has declined, after all, there are various things left by his ancestors, he also has some background, and he also has some face among the powerful circles in the capital, so it is still easy to fool people.
But Hanjiang Tower was not prepared to take the initiative to look for it unless it was absolutely necessary.
They are not good people, and he doesn't want to pay attention to them.
If he is destined to be unable to escape in this life, and the other party will still come looking for him, then he will take another path, and he will not be as stupid as they were in his previous life, and will not be used as a tool for their use.
The aura on Hanjianglou's body changed for a moment.
Dong Nuan noticed it, but didn't ask any further questions. He propped his chin on one hand and watched Hanjiang Tower eat.
Regarding the question of Hanjiang Tower, she thought for a while and whispered: "Shen Shimo."
It was almost evening. It gets dark very early in February, and it was already dark at the end of Shenshi.
"It's a bit late, it's not very safe." When Hanjianglou heard the time, he couldn't help but frown.
Dong Nuan didn't care. She put her chin on one hand and said with a smile, "But I have Hanjiang Tower to see you off."
It was an ordinary sentence, but it succeeded in making Hanjianglou's ears red.
As the little girl gradually grows, the originally ignorant little girl has more and more ideas.
The most important thing is that many times, young girls flirt without knowing it, which puts a lot of pressure on Hanjianglou.
He can maintain the manners of a gentleman, but...
Always being provoked like this, he would blush and his heart would beat, and then he would have some charming thoughts.
Hanjianglou always feels that having those thoughts is actually disrespectful to Dong Nuan.
But people's minds and bodies are really out of control sometimes!
This made Hanjiang Tower extremely helpless.
Just like this, his ears turned red and his voice became muffled: "Yeah."
Then he stopped talking and started working hard to cook the rice.
Hanjianglou's food intake is actually quite large. Dong Nuan has eaten most of the food he brought over, and he can save the rest for later when he is tired from studying at night.
After simply clearing away the remaining food, Hanjianglou looked at the weather outside and asked in a low voice: "Want to go out for a walk?"
Although this is not the first time Dong Nuan has come to the county town, when he came here before, he always came and went in a hurry and did not visit carefully.
"No, I'll just watch you warm up your books." Dong Nuan didn't want to disturb Hanjiang Tower. If Hanjiang Tower was distracted by himself, wouldn't his original intention of coming here be wrong?
So, she waved her hand and refused.
Regarding this, Han Jianglou sighed helplessly and thought to himself: With you looking at me like this, how can I devote myself to Wen Shu?
Just don't say this to a little girl.
In Hanjianglou's eyes, Dong Nuan is still young, and those excessive words will offend the little girl's ears.
To blame, it's also because of his weak willpower.
Hanjianglou thought that with Dong Nuan by his side, he would not be able to devote himself wholeheartedly to Wen Shu. But when he really calmed down and took a look, he actually forgot about Dong Nuan's existence.
Dongnuan didn't make any noise or make a fuss, he just stayed by his side quietly, flipping through a book casually, regardless of whether he could understand the obscure meanings, flipping through the pages gently, doing something to pass the time.
When the sky got dark, Hanjianglou also got out of the book.
Looking at the sky outside, Hanjianglou panicked and said, "Nuanya, pack up quickly and I'll take you there."
If it gets too late, one person in Hanjiang Tower is afraid of being unsafe, and the other is afraid of objections from the county magistrate’s wife.
