The thoughts and deliberations of cooks are limited to the kitchen.
However, when a full table was placed in this cell, Huo Lian, who had never cared about what to eat in the past, also took a second look at the food.
The four women also looked a little unnatural. Meals were delivered from the kitchen one after another, which made them feel a little endless. In the end, a bottle of fruit wine was even delivered.
"I only said that I would prepare a meal for one person, but I didn't say how much it would cost, right?" Chun Niang couldn't help but ask.
"Perhaps the food served by one person in the inner house is of this standard." Xia Niang said.
Qiuniang was a little indifferent: "Our young lady has a big appetite."
No wonder she asked if she could only have one bite. She looked unsatisfied.
Later, they fed me without any persuasion. The lady took all the food seriously.
During the discussion, Huo Lian came, and the four of them were immediately relieved. It turned out that the governor was coming to have dinner with them, but they were also a little surprised, thinking that the governor would accompany Miss Wanwan.
"What are you thinking about?" Dong Niang whispered, "The governor is also a man."
Men are always fond of the new and dislike the old. When there is a new man, the old man will of course take a back seat.
They were no strangers to serving two people at a meal. It was the same situation when Miss Wanwan first came here. The four of them selected two people to be admitted to the cell, and the other two were waiting outside.
"Miss, let's take a sip of soup first." Chun Niang said with a smile, holding the soup bowl.
Qixing nodded, opened his mouth and drank the soup she fed.
Qiuniang gently wiped the corners of her mouth.
Chun Niang then picked up the vegetables on the table bit by bit and fed them to her.
There was no clenching of the teeth, no sneers, no vomiting, no scrabbling and kicking over the table.
If they don't need to be fed, both Chun Niang and Qiu Niang will think this is a normal eating scene.
Huo Lian, who was sitting opposite her, didn't care at all about her reaction. She just lowered her head and ate by herself.
However, unlike in the past, he didn't just eat the dish in front of him.
Because Qi Xing always wanted to eat different dishes, Qiu Niang also took away the dishes from his plate. Because she was also worried that the governor would not eat enough, Qiu Niang would change other dishes from time to time.
Although the two of them ate separately and did not communicate with each other during the whole process, Qixing did not stop and Huo Lian did not stop until Qixing drank a glass of fruit wine and said she was full.
Huo Lian also had a glass of fruit wine in front of her. When Qiu Niang poured wine for Qixing, she also poured him a glass.
Huo Lian looked at the fruit wine, drank it in one gulp.
Here, Dong Niang and Xia Niang came in and moved the dining table away. Chun Niang and Qiu Niang waited on the two of them respectively, gargling their mouths and wiping their hands before retreating.
…
…
"My dear."
The cooks in the kitchen looked at the dishes returned with surprised expressions.
"I ate them all."
They couldn't help but look back to the other side.
Miss Wanwan's food had been withdrawn a long time ago. It was almost untouched as before, and several maids were sorting it out and distributing it to the servants.
"Where is the governor?" said a cook. "The governor eats a lot."
This was immediately rebutted by the servant girl over there: "The governor used to only eat a plate of vegetables and a bowl of rice."
Also, the cooks looked around at the empty dishes again, so we can only say that this lady is quite edible.
Under such circumstances, you can eat it. Does that mean you are willing to eat it?
Then there is no need to lock him in a cell.
If you didn't obey the governor and still ate like this, what kind of mentality would you have?
The cooks were full of curiosity.
"No matter what the mentality is." A cook looked at an empty bowl and said happily, "At least it means that she likes our craftsmanship."
Even if you have a good attitude, you won't be able to eat so cleanly if the food doesn't suit your taste.
Huo Lian searched for the best cooks in the city to please the beauty, but unfortunately they came to Huo's house. There were only two owners in the house, a man and a woman, and the two of them were not interested in eating and drinking. Although the monthly rewards were large, they still
I always feel that my skills are in vain.
Now there is one more, and this lady seems to be very interested in eating and drinking.
"Okay, we can't let this young lady look down on us." A cook rolled up her sleeves, "We eat these here and there at home, and we'll change them to new ones tomorrow."
The kitchen was brightly lit in the night, giving the scene of a sleepless night. In the cell, Qixing had already been served and washed.
After the four women left, Huo Lian walked in again. He also washed up and changed into his pajamas.
Qixing's eyes turned to him. She recognized this dress. When she came to Duchasi, Huo Lian came out of the inner house wearing this dress.
"I said, I will personally guard you." Huo Lian said, sitting down by the bed, pulling out a piece of rope from Qixing's body, and slowly wrapping it around her hands and arms.
Qixing said: "If I said I wouldn't run away, would you believe it?"
Huo Lian glanced at her and said nothing.
"You have discovered my intention and are on guard." Qixing continued, "And if you and I do this in public, I will definitely be noticed by everyone, and I cannot act arbitrarily for the sake of Momen."
She thought about it and seemed to have made up her mind.
"I will leave the capital."
Huo Lian wrapped her entire arm, then lay down, close to her arm, and still didn't speak.
Qixing looked at him sideways on the pillow and continued: "I want to clear the Mo family of sins, and you are the most important link. After all, you know more than me. If you are unwilling to cooperate or testify, I will not
no solution anymore."
Until hearing this, Huo Lian burst out laughing.
"I can hear you are sincere." He said, turning his head to look at her, "But I don't believe it. I'm not interested in what others do. I'd rather do it myself."
He raised his arm, and Qixing's arm tied to him was also raised at the same time.
He shook their arms.
"What I have to do is very simple, just keep an eye on you."
The two looked at each other on the pillow for a moment.
Huo Lian first withdrew her gaze, put down their arms, and flicked the quilt with her other hand. The wide, soft and thick quilt covered the two of them.
"Go to sleep." He said and closed his eyes.
Qixing didn't look away, as if he thought of something: "There is one more thing."
In this case, shouldn't she stop talking to him? Why can she continue to say something after being rejected? Does she feel that she is imprisoned by him? Does she think she is a guest? Huo Huo
Lian closed her eyes and said nothing.
"I want to tell Momen Congzhong about the current situation." Qixing didn't care and he ignored it. The two of them were so close, she could clearly detect whether he was asleep or not, so she only continued, "Avoid
Everyone does irrational things."
Huo Lian closed her eyes and said, "Irrational, why? Are you coming to attack me, Du Cha Si?"
"We don't need them to attack Du Chasi. I can do it myself." Qixing said, shaking himself in the quilt, which was also Huo Lian's arm, "Do you think I can't kill you if you tie me up?"
Huo Lian opened her eyes again and looked at her: "I see Miss Qixing's sincerity, but unless you kill me, you can't get out of this cell."
"Killing you won't solve my problem, so I won't kill you." Qixing said, "Write a letter for me and give it to my people."
At this point, I paused again and thought about it.
"Two letters."
Huo Lian frowned slightly: "How many letters are there?"
This was an agreement. A smile appeared on Qixing's lips and he said: "Two letters, two letters are enough."
Huo Lian closed her eyes and stopped talking, seemingly asleep.
Qixing didn't speak any more and closed his eyes.
The last candle burned out, and darkness enveloped the two people lying side by side on the bed, like a very common couple.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Lian opened his eyes again. The steady rhythm of the woman's breathing next to his ear told him that she had fallen asleep.
Actually fell asleep faster than him.
This woman is really... completely different from Wanwan before. Things that he was used to were not used to him anymore.
He turned his head slightly, and in the dim night he saw her face lying on her back, like a jade sculpture.
