Bei Tangyun looked at him through the beaded curtain, admiring him in her heart but not daring to get close. She quickly withdrew her gaze, as if another look at him would be a blasphemy against him.
At this time, Qi Bing washed his hands, made tea again, sent someone to prepare some snacks, and said to Beitang Yun: "Miss Beitang, please use some snacks."
It was originally an extremely soft voice, but it startled Bei Tang Yun, as if someone was spying on her thoughts, and her cheeks turned red.
Qi Bing just thought that she was tired from practicing dance, so he placed the tea on the small table next to her, took out a piece from the small plate, and chewed it slowly.
"Second sister seems to have gone out." Beitang Yunyu picked up a piece of rose cake, took a bite, and blinked lightly with moist eyes.
Qi Bing said: "They said they were ready to eat. It's almost noon, and the general said he would have dinner here."
Bei Tangyun nodded and stopped talking.
The two sat there for about an hour, and the exquisitely carved door finally opened.
Bei Tang Yun immediately looked over and saw that it was Bei Tang Jin walking towards him with a half-smile on his face. He was so beautiful that he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.
"The general is back." Qi Bing stood up and curtsied and saluted. Bei Tangjin waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, Qingzhan, put the dishes on the table and let's get together a table."
Bei Tangjin's smile was extremely easy-going. Qingsun was infected, so he also sent someone to prepare with a smile on his face.
At this time, Qi Bing saw several young men dressed as servants coming behind Bei Tangjin, who seemed to be cooks. She couldn't help but frown, and after ordering food, the cooks also followed.
The cook was holding a delicate box containing dishes in his hand, and he was still amazed when he looked at Bei Tangjin's back.
Thinking of how busy this beautiful woman was in the kitchen, he couldn't help but sigh even more. Whoever married such a beautiful woman and could cook well, wouldn't she be extremely lucky?
Bei Tangjin didn't know that someone was looking at her back and having such thoughts. She just slowly opened the bead curtain and walked into the back room.
Her steps were very light, because she was far away and saw Mei Ningxuan lying on the beauty's couch, looking extremely peaceful and comfortable, with a light smile on her face.
Bei Tangjin slowly approached and saw him lying there, with the sun shining on his cheeks. The golden light danced around, making his snow-white cheeks a little softer.
Bei Tangjin watched quietly.
This man is so handsome. His forehead is so smooth, his eyebrows are so delicate and picturesque, his skin is as delicate as mutton-fat white jade, his black hair is scattered randomly, and his clothes are scattered on the ground. He is so quiet and gentle.
"Miss, the food is ready..." Before Qingsun could finish his words, he saw Bei Tangjin's silent gesture. Qingsun was startled, then saw the man sleeping on the bed. For a moment, his soul was completely lost, and he was stunned.
, eyes wandering.
Mei Ningxuan heard the voice, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Bei Tangjin standing in the distance, looking at him with rarely soft eyes, but quickly lowered her eyes, and he heard her say to him: "Senior brother, the food is set.
"
The voice was rarely soft, and his heartbeat moved slightly.
Bei Tangjin frowned and looked at him. He had finished speaking, but the man was still lying there with soft eyes.
But if he looked carefully, he could see that his eyes were very light. Bei Tangjin couldn't help but feel relieved. This man's eyes always gave people a very unreal illusion. He was not smiling, but it felt like he was smiling.
Smiling at you, there is obviously no tenderness, but it seems to be gentle and caressing.
His pair of watery and affectionate eyes are so sultry...
She dazed for a moment, but Mei Ningxuan had already stood up, slowly straightened his clothes, smiled at her, and said: "Master often talks about your good cooking skills. I am really lucky to be able to taste it today."
Bei Tangjin nodded and smiled and said: "Senior brother, you are so complimentary. I'll prepare a few glasses of wine and some side dishes. Please don't dislike it, senior brother."
The two of them complimented a few more words and then walked out of the back room. Qingsun was in panic for a long time. Bei Tangjin looked at Qingsun in surprise, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Qingsun, what's wrong with you?"
?”
Only then did Qingsun return to her senses. When she saw Bei Tangjin's extremely surprised look, her cheeks turned red. Seeing that she had come to her senses, Bei Tangjin led Mei Ningxuan to sit down without further investigation.
Mei Ningxuan was a guest, so Bei Tang Jin gave the first place to him and sat next to him, followed by Bei Tang Yun and Qi Bing.
Four people gathered around a table.
Since the first time Qi Bing saw Mei Ningxuan, there was a fire inside her. She knew that she was tempted, but she knew that a fairy like Mei Ningxuan would not give half of it.
His mind was on her, even if she had feelings of admiration, she just thought about it and glanced at him from a distance. She never thought that she could have a meal with him at such a close distance.
However, even so, she did not dare to look more, for fear of revealing her humble admiration.
Bei Tang Yun did not expect Bei Tang Jin to have a table full of food. She couldn't help being surprised, but she remained calm.
On the other hand, Mei Ningxuan looked at the dishes with extremely gentle eyes, as if the dishes were his lover. His eyes were extremely gentle.
Bei Tangjin just glanced at him, poured wine for Mei Ningxuan with a smile, and said: "This is wine made from plum blossoms the year before last. It must be to suit senior brother's taste."
Both of them are plum lovers, and she has always liked this wine.
Mei Ningxuan looked back and forth at the dishes on the table and asked, "Did you cook all these dishes?" This was really too rich. He originally thought that Bei Tangjin was just making some extremely simple side dishes, but he didn't expect it.
So exquisite?
Bei Tangjin nodded, smiled very casually, and said: "Senior brother has solved a big problem for me, so I will definitely put some thought into it."
Bei Tangyun and Qi Bing were both extremely surprised when they heard this and turned their eyes to Bei Tangjin, as if they were imagining what a beauty like Bei Tangjin looked like when cooking.
"Second sister, you cooked all these dishes?" Bei Tangyun said in shock. She looked at the table: walnut cheese, golden cake rolls, bean paste rolls, fried spring rolls, amber pigeon eggs, slippery quail, and spring bamboo shoots.
, ice flower snow lotus, white jade tofu, radish mandarin fish, sweet and sour fish roll...
Qi Bing was stunned. How could this be a dish made by a girl from the boudoir? She remembered that Bei Tang Jin had been out for an hour, but it was so fast? How was it made?
"Isn't this too fast?" Qi Bing whispered, but the image of Beitang Jinyu holding a wok appeared in his mind.
Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "The desserts and cold dishes are all brought from the water, and these hot dishes are made by me."
When she said this, everyone finally let go of their shock.
"I was just talking casually, but you actually..." Mei Ningxuan seemed to be happy, but also seemed to feel sorry for Bei Tangjin. He had been busy for a long time and made so many dishes, which took a lot of effort and energy...
Even though she has great physical strength...
Bei Tangjin saw some regret on his face and couldn't help but smile: "It's nothing. In the past, my master always asked me to make some strange dishes. I thought that these should be in line with my senior brother's taste. Since my senior brother asked me to cook them,
You can’t live up to the hard work I put in, right?”
Mei Ningxuan nodded and said: "Jin'er is right, I can't let you down." As he spoke, he had picked up a piece of radish and chewed it slowly.
When Qi Bing and Bei Tang Yun heard this, they both moved their chopsticks, but they were used to eating these good things, so they didn't feel much about it. When the hot dishes entered their mouths, they felt that they tasted very good, both in terms of heat and color.
good.
"Where did you cook these dishes?" After adding a few pieces of white jade tofu, Mei Ningxuan suddenly felt something was wrong. If he went to Beitang Mansion to cook such dishes, it shouldn't be so fast, right?
Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "The Fuyue Restaurant on the street in front belongs to our house. Even though it is not large, the kitchen has all the ingredients."
Mei Ningxuan understood this time, "In this way, you will save all the ingredients..." She also told him in the morning that it would be difficult to get the shops left by her mother back. Without money, the ingredients would always...
…account for some…
Bei Tangjin looked embarrassed for a while, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said: "Huh... It's mainly because those cooks can do something..."
Bei Tangyun and Qi Bing listened and didn't think there was anything wrong. Since Fuyue Restaurant is owned by Beitang Mansion, it is appropriate to go in and eat and drink for free, right?
However, they didn't know that Fuyue Restaurant was actually Wang Yuanxiang's dowry when she got married. Therefore, what Mei Ningxuan said was that Beitang Jin had taken such a small advantage.
After finishing the meal and resting for a while, Bei Tangyun began to learn dance steps again.
Mei Ningxuan and Bei Tangjin continued to play chess in the back room.
Maybe he was indeed a little tired. Bei Tangjin felt a little sleepy and fell asleep after playing half the game.
When Mei Ningxuan saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I think you are exhausted after cooking such a table of dishes, so you might as well take a nap to relax."
Bei Tangjin pinched his eyebrows and said, "That's fine. If senior brother finds it boring, then..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Mei Ningxuan say: "It's okay, I'll read some leisurely books, and you can go to bed." As he said that, he had already taken a book brought by Bei Tangjin from the small coffee table and went to the beauty
As soon as he leaned back on the couch, he slowly turned the pages, his expression extremely peaceful.
When Bei Tangjin saw it, he smiled slightly and lay down with his clothes on.
Maybe it was because he hadn't worked so hard for a long time, but after a while, Bei Tangjin fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing her breathing, Mei Ningxuan turned his head from the page and looked at her.
She tilted her head slightly, her jet-black hair was a little messy, and her hands were hanging down in a very regular manner. She was so quiet in her sleep, as quiet as the sleeping beauty in the lotus.
The afternoon sun was so warm and soft, strands falling on her hair, reflecting an extremely brilliant light.
She is invisible.
She is so quiet, a little less cute and naughty, and no longer so arrogant and childish.
Mei Ningxuan looked at it for a long time, then smiled slightly, very softly, with a slightly doting look.
He moved his eyes to the pages of the book again, turning page by page slowly. This was her favorite book. He read it, liked it very much, and was very fascinated by it.
The incense burner was burning, there was the sound of crackling charcoal fire, and outside the bead curtain there was the constant sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music.
But the people inside the bead curtain seemed to be isolated and so quiet.
When Mei Ningxuan looked up again, he found that her brocade quilt had slipped down. He frowned, then stood up and slowly walked over to cover her again.
He moved his fingers cautiously, for fear of startling her, and lifted the quilt up. His eyes moved to her face again. Her eyelashes as thick as a small fan blinked, and her nose was as small as carved from ivory.
Wrinkled, as if in a dream, so cute.
Mei Ningxuan smiled fondly and wanted to reach out and scratch her small nose, but he pulled back midway, fearing to disturb her.
The afternoon sun was shining sparsely, and it shone on the bodies of the two people very softly.
As if she was sleeping too quietly, he gradually began to feel sleepy. He covered his face with a book to block the sunlight, and slowly closed his eyes.
In the dream, it was like her slight shadow, so clear and shallow that he couldn't see it clearly even when he looked hard.
The shadows are blurry and the clothes are fluttering, just like her cute smile when her cheeks are dyed red.
The sun was setting slightly in the west, and Bei Tangjin slowly woke up. She touched the teacup out of habit, but it was empty. Only then did she remember that she was not listening to the Snow Pavilion, but at the Tianqinglou.
She was drowsy and her vision gradually became clearer. She stood up and took a sip of tea. She found that she had slept too deeply and her neck hurt slightly. She stretched out her hand to rub it.
He glanced around and stopped at the young man in snow clothes on the beauty's couch.
The sun was falling, and the man lying quietly was extremely peaceful, as quiet as an ink painting, so beautiful that it was unreal.
The pages of the book covered his face, and all she could see was his black hair scattered on the floor. She looked at the black hair and wanted to reach out to hold it, but she felt a chill all over her body and saw that he was not covered with a quilt. She was afraid that he would
When he caught a cold, he took the brocade quilt from the bed and covered him with it.
However, when the quilt covered half of his body, the man moved. She was so surprised that her fingers paused. When she found that he had not moved, she pulled it up again, until it reached his chest.
After covering herself with the quilt, Bei Tangjin breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, the pages of the book suddenly fell to the ground with a "snap", revealing the man's handsome face and a pair of eyes that were like the clear shadow of a blue lake.
With such soft eyes, she was so startled that she took a step back, not noticing what was under her feet. She tripped and fell, and her body was about to fall to the ground.
When Mei Ningxuan saw this, he immediately jumped up from the beauty's couch, put his long arms around her waist, and held her in his arms.
Bei Tangjin was startled for a moment. He had done all the most embarrassing things she had done in her life...
What was reflected in the startled eyes were his gentle eyebrows, soft ripples, and affectionate eyes, just like the quiet sunshine in spring, which moved her heart.
In her arms was a soft waist, and her jade arms... seemed to be wrapped around his waist.
Mei Ningxuan laughed softly, and Bei Tangjin finally reacted, her face turning red from embarrassment...
She pushed him, and then he put her down, shook his head and smiled, as if doting on him. Bei Tangjin looked extremely embarrassed and wanted to say something to resolve the atmosphere, but his throat was stuck and he couldn't say a word.
come out.
Mei Ningxuan knew what she was thinking, smiled softly, and said, "Thank you Jin'er for this quilt."
