The Lord looked carefully and saw that it was exactly the same as the chess game that was slapped away by the messenger. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Why is this kid's head so long? He can only calculate his own plans. How can he remember other people's plans so clearly!
Seeing that the master was being put up by her boyfriend and unable to get off, as a good disciple, Mingruo quickly built a ladder for the master.
"Master, we are about to leave now. We have to go back and pack our luggage. There are still many things to arrange. I will ask my husband to play chess with you later."
"Okay, you go and do the serious things first." The Lord was understanding and nodded in agreement.
Mingruo pulled Si Haochen to Qitong Residence, not forgetting to criticize and teach: "Respect the old and love the young, you know, let's give way to the master in the future."
"Okay." Si Haochen was not unreasonable, he just wanted to stop the strange old man from wanting to play chess with him.
Although the Lord is not young, his ear is amazing. Hearing his young disciple educating his son-in-law, he felt very good.
Sure enough, the little disciple is still facing me!
Qitong was in the middle, while A Yuan cleaned up and bowed to his master, but he was very worried: "Master, is it true that you can't take your slave with you? If you don't have your slave by your side, who will tie your hair?"
They went to Zhongzhou to pretend to be Mr. Qing Wei's bodyguard and maid. In any case, she had to learn the hairstyle of a maid.
Mingruo sat in front of the dressing table and smoothed her hair: "A Yuan, how do you tie your hair into a bun? Come and teach me."
"Slave, this is a hanging bun. It's very easy to tie." A Yuan quickly gave her master the same hairstyle as her own.
"Oh, that's it." It's not difficult for Mingruo to look at it, but it's just his eyes that have learned it. It would be really horrible to actually tie it up for himself...
A Yuan spread her hair out again and showed her master how she tied her hair.
Mingruo didn't know that the hair that was so obedient in A Yuan's hands was no longer the same in her own hands. She was indeed better at tying men's buns...
Mingruo turned her head and looked at Si Haochen: "How about I pretend to be Mr. Qing Wei's servant?"
"No." Si Haochen gave an analysis to Mingruo, "Mr. Qing Wei said you were a woman when you were registering on the ship. Besides, there are many inconveniences in writing it as a man. What should you do if you encounter a body search along the way?
"
"Okay." Mingruo lowered his shoulders pitifully.
"I've learned how to tie it for you in the future." Si Haochen still knew the little girl's skill of tying women's hair into a bun.
"Oh, my husband is the most powerful." Mingruo suddenly felt that he had escaped death.
Then, he arranged for A Yuan to follow Shi Shi and the others and wait for her return in the border town.
In a blink of an eye, the third day of the first lunar month arrived. Mingruo got up early and sat in front of the dressing table in confusion, asking A Yuan to tie her hair.
Si Haochen walked in from outside, carrying a tray in his hand.
Mingruo smelled the fragrance and turned his head to look: "What is it? It smells good."
A Yuan straightened Mingruo's brain: "Just wait a moment, it will be fine soon."
"Noodle soup." Si Haochen put two bowls of noodles on the table and sat down to wait for Mingruo.
Seeing that Mingruo had already tied up her hair, he waved to her: "Come here for breakfast."
"Okay." Mingruo sat down and felt a little strange why Si Haochen came in with breakfast today.
He picked up his chopsticks and took just one bite before looking at Si Haochen in surprise: "You made the noodles."
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded seriously, "Does it taste good?"
"It's delicious." Mingruo's eyes felt a little hot.
The taste of this bowl of noodles is very familiar. It is a soup that has been simmered for several hours. Shredded bamboo shoots and green vegetables are also added to it. There is an abalone hidden in the bottom of the bowl.
When it’s a family birthday, grandma will make this when she gets up early.
When Si Haochen celebrated his birthday last year, she also made it for Si Haochen to eat.
Later, Si Haochen learned it seriously and said he would cook it for her on her birthday.
When he taught Si Haochen at that time, Mingruo didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, he really learned it. Not to mention 100% restoration, at least 70% to 80% likeness.
Moreover, although my boyfriend is good at knife skills, he is not good at seasoning. I am really surprised that he can make it like this. (15: Princess, this 'surprise' is really hard-won. We all ate it for several days.
Shocked...)
Mingruo ate the entire bowl of noodles in silence, and sorted out her complicated mood because she suddenly tasted a familiar taste.
When he looked at Si Haochen again, he was already smiling with his eyebrows creasing: "The noodles are delicious, I like them very much, thank you husband."
"As long as you like it." Si Haochen gently stroked Mingruo's cheek and took out a long brocade box from his sleeve pocket, "Happy birthday!"
"Should I open it and take a look?" Mingruo took the brocade box and held it in his hand.
"Yeah." Si Haochen's eyes were a little wandering.
Mingruo keenly noticed Si Haochen's slight abnormality, and his eyes darted around.
In the brocade box is a Ruyi cloud-headed gold hairpin. The style is very simple, and the lines of the carving are also slightly stiff.
Mingruo caressed the gold hairpin carefully, precisely because of its simple style, Mingruo could be sure that it was also made by Si Haochen himself.
"Do you like it?" Si Haochen asked with some uncertainty.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded repeatedly and handed the gold hairpin to Si Haochen, "Put it on for me."
"Okay." Si Haochen inserted the gold hairpin polished by his own hands into his wife's hair, feeling happy.
After the two of them packed up, they were about to set off.
First, he went to the main hall to bid farewell to the master. The Lord gave Mingruo a few words, and then took out four waist badges belonging to Helian, Beigong, Chunyu, and the lacquer sculptor.
The textures are all very good, and you can tell from the first glance that they are only for people of high status.
"These were brought back from my trip to Zhongzhou more than ten years ago. Take them with you. They may be useful."
"Thank you, Master." These waistbands are equivalent to ID cards in Zhongzhou. For people like them who are "smuggling", it is necessary to have more ID cards to escort them.
"It's getting late, take the money with you." The Lord was quite reluctant to give up, and he even put the blame for kidnapping his young disciple directly on Mr. Qing Wei's head.
"What kind of expense?" Ming Ruo was a little confused.
The Lord waved his hand, and a handyman disciple brought three big boxes: "A'che has one box and Ruo'er has two boxes. Take them with you."
Not only did Jun Che refuse, but he asked, "Why is mine less than junior sister's?"
"There are two of them and you alone. If you want the same amount, you can bring a wife back. I am not short of a box of gold coins." The Lord is urging the marriage in a fancy way.
"Um..." Mingruo was a little surprised. Are there all gold coins in the box?
Jun Che watched people loading the boxes onto the carriage, and then said to Mingruo: "Zhongzhou uses gold and silver coins and copper plates. It will be much more convenient to bring these."
"Oh." Mingruo nodded, and then asked belatedly, "Senior brother, do you want to go to Zhongzhou with us?"
