The two women boarded the boat side by side and saw two guards standing at the cabin door, opening two cabin curtains at the same time.
Without having time to think about the meaning behind this action, the two of them entered the cabin side by side.
In the cabin, Lao Liu was sitting behind the tea table. He had already made two cups of tea and said with a calm smile: "Come on, let me introduce you. Liu Li, this is the second lady of Wei Guofu. I felt like old friends at the first sight."
A good friend.”
Liu Li folded his crotch and blessed Miss Xu Er, and said sweetly: "I have heard about the name of the Xu family sister for a long time. It is better to see her than to hear it a hundred times."
"Miaoqing, this is the eldest lady of Chengyi House, my good friend since childhood." Lao Liu introduced Liu Lidao to Xu Miaoqing.
Xu Miaoqing also bowed her hands to Liu Lifu and said softly: "So this is your highness's childhood sweetheart. I have admired you for a long time."
"Sit down and talk." Zhu Zhen pushed two cups of tea in front of them at the same time.
The two girls nodded and sat down opposite him. They did not drink tea, but looked at him with a half-smile.
"I'm so glad you guys came to pick me up." The smile on Zhu Zhen's face became more sincere as he said, "Why didn't you mention this before?"
"I want to give you a little surprise." Liu Li smiled.
"I thought His Highness would be very happy about this little surprise." Xu Miaoqing also smiled.
In fact, she mustered up the courage to pick him up because Lao Liu said that she asked her father to allow her to study at the Imperial Academy in order to meet her.
I didn't expect this to be the case...
But Xu Da's girl is not a mortal, and there is no trace of her depression on her face.
"Haha, of course I'm happy, I'm so happy..." The smile on Lao Liu's face was almost unbearable. Some things are one part a surprise, and two parts together, it's a shock.
"Pfft..." Liu Li seemed like she couldn't help laughing. "Look at you, you're even sweating."
Not shying away from suspicion, she leaned forward to wipe his forehead with a handkerchief, and asked in a tone that made him relax: "It's hard to go to school here. It's only been half a month, and I've lost a lot."
"That's not true. I wake up early every day and don't eat until late. Moreover, the food is so bad." Lao Liu lamented: "You can't imagine that if you don't care about every dish in a meal, it will be so unpalatable..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Miaoqing holding out an exquisite red lacquer food box like a magic trick. After opening it, there was a plate of browned and crispy pot stickers...
"I heard from my eldest brother about the food there. I thought that Your Highness had been suffering for half a month, so I asked my sister to teach me how to make this dish. His Highness's favorite pot stickers." Xu Miaoqing also became like a spring breeze, and even poured it for Lao Liu.
Lao Dian Balsamic Vinegar said:
"Your Highness, just give it a try."
"Yeah, okay, okay." Lao Liu was so moved that he almost shed tears. He didn't use chopsticks or dip it in vinegar. He just picked up a pot sticker and took a bite, which was full of crispy and juicy meat.
Let his long-deprived taste buds bloom in an instant.
"Is it delicious?" Xu Miaoqing asked anxiously, holding her heart in her hands.
"It's delicious. It's the best I've ever tasted." Lao Liu nodded vigorously and started eating while praising it.
After eating four or five times, he discovered that the meat filling of the pot stickers was actually beef...oh no, camel meat. He couldn't help but be moved to tears by Miaoqing's thoughtfulness.
Seeing that the little uncle's soul had been seduced by the vixen, Liu Li secretly sighed, he is really a strong enemy. But meeting this girl is just a trick. Don't you know that the little uncle's stomach has already been affected by it?
Are you just holding it in my hand?
She also held out a food box, and when she opened it, she found several skewers of grilled beef balls grilled until golden brown. The fragrant beef balls were sandwiched with carrots and onions, which was the best bite of Lao Liu.
"Woo, I've been thinking about this bite for a long time." As expected, Lao Liu's eyes shone brightly, and he immediately freed up his hand, picked up a bunch, bit into a meatball and put it into his mouth.
The aroma of another kind of beef immediately made him feel like he was about to leave his body, and he burst into tears.
"Yeah, this is the taste, this is the taste. I finally came back to life..." Lao Liu murmured, taking a bite of pot stickers and a bite of meat skewers. The feeling of happiness went straight from the tip of his tongue to his stomach, and then spread throughout his body from his stomach.
.
"Eat slowly and drink a glass of black plum juice to relieve tiredness." Liu Li took out a bottle of black plum juice from somewhere and poured it for Lao Liu.
Xu Miaoqing's eyes froze. She also brought a bottle of black plum juice...because the fourth brother said that His Highness loved to drink this when he was in Nanchang.
But after Liu Li took it out, she couldn't take it out again. She couldn't help but secretly reflect, she must act quickly next time, and don't always wait for the most suitable time...
But overall, with the happiness brought by the delicious food, the atmosphere in the cabin was also much more harmonious.
While enjoying the food carefully cooked by the two rich ladies, Lao Liu complained to them about how difficult it was for him to learn Chinese studies:
"I thought about it before I went there. I must not be punished no matter what, otherwise... my father would definitely burst into laughter. I thought this request was not too high, but I didn't expect it, alas..."
"Other things are fine, but there is too much homework. Let's talk about endorsements. It takes three days in the main hall a day, and you have to know the principles. I haven't endorsed in a few years. How can I remember this? I can only do it.
I recite it as soon as I open my eyes, and recite it until I go to bed. Sometimes I am still reciting it while dreaming..."
"Not only do you memorize, but you also have to practice calligraphy and do arithmetic problems every day. It's really all about gritting your teeth." Lao Liu sighed.
He knew that it was actually thanks to his persistence in training in Nanchang last year that sharpened his will, otherwise he would not have been able to persist at all.
When he thought of exercise, he thought of his coach Runer...
But he couldn't care about that much now. Lao Liu took a bite of the beef ball and said, "The problem is to try your best to complete the task of the previous day. When you open your eyes, a new day comes again. It's really hard to breathe."
"That's really hard work, Your Highness." As expected, the two girls couldn't care less about what was there and what was not, and they only felt distressed.
"Fortunately, I can still have one day off in half a month," Miaoqing sighed: "Brother Six, please relax."
"Oh, I can't relax. I still have a bunch of monthly assignments that I haven't finished yet." Lao Liu counted: "Six essays, two essays each, including imperial edicts, imperial edicts, chapters, policy arguments, judgments, and internal medicine... I usually don't have time to do it.
, we can only take a holiday and attack."
As he talked, he felt so sad that even the camel meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"How about... let me make it for you?" Liu Li poured him another glass of black plum juice.
"Really?" Lao Liu's eyes lit up. Liu Li was taught by Liu Bowen personally, and he has a very solid education.
There is not a slight difference between him and a half-monastic master and disciple like himself.
"I can also do it for you." At this time, Xu Miaoqing also said softly.
"Is Miaoqing also so powerful?" Lao Liu was surprised at first, but then thought it was reasonable.
"That's right. You and your fourth sister-in-law grew up together, ate the same rice, and read the same books. She is a famous 'female student', how come you are also a 'female member'."
"Brother Six, that's an award." Xu Miaoqing said modestly, "That means I can help you with your homework, and the female staff can't even compare to that."
"I can do all the homework in Guozixue, so what am I if I'm not a female member?" Lao Liu was very happy. He took out his homework, divided it into two, and said with a smile: "Be impartial, half for each person!"
