Zheng Yu didn't expect that he was still a crow's mouth, what to say, the sticky bird droppings on his forehead made him frowned in disgust, jumped up from the chair, and hurried to find water to wash his face.
Seeing his hurried back, Xiao Qiheng was in a very happy mood, turned the wheelchair to the grape shelf, stopped beside the rocking chair, looked up at the little bird standing on the shelf, and called: "Cuiyu."
The kingfisher jumped on the shelf twice, spread its wings, and flew down towards him. Xiao Qiheng raised his hand, and the kingfisher landed on his fingers, and chirped at him twice.
This little kingfisher named "Cui Yu" was only half the size of his palm, and it was picked up by Jiang Li in the yard two years ago.
When Cuiyu first picked it up, its wing was injured. After Jiang Li bandaged it, he temporarily kept it in the yard, changing its dressing and feeding it every day.
He originally intended to let Cuiyu leave after healed, but he didn't expect that Cuiyu chose to stay after recovering.
When Jiang Li came to the side courtyard, he saw Cui Yu standing in Xiao Qiheng's palm, pecking his head bit by bit the bird food in his palm to eat.
He walked over, squatted down beside Xiao Qiheng's legs, stretched out his finger and pointed Cuiyu's little head: "Greedy ghost."
Cui Yu lightly pecked at his fingertips, then lowered her head and continued eating.
Jiang Li withdrew his fingers, maintained a squatting posture, raised his head slightly and asked Xiao Qiheng: "Where is the young master?"
"Wash your face."
"Um?"
Xiao Qiheng pointed at Cuiyu, Jiang Li reacted, laughed out loud, poked Cuiyu twice, and scolded with a smile: "Naughty again."
Before Xiaoluzi was lazy to enjoy the shade under the grape trellis, he was also hit by Cuiyu's bird droppings. He was so angry that Xiaoluzi pointed at it and cursed for ten minutes. If Jiang Li hadn't come out, he probably could have continued to curse.
Xiao Qiheng watched him play with Cuiyu, and asked aloud: "You really don't want to leave the palace?"
"I don't want to." Jiang Li understood his character and knew that he would definitely ask again, so he replied without thinking, "You are living well here, why do you want to leave the palace?"
He raised his head and smiled at Xiao Qiheng, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "I said I wouldn't leave His Highness's side. It's been so many years, Your Highness still doesn't believe me?"
Xiao Qiheng looked at him, touched the emotion in his eyes, and his eyes gradually softened.
When Zheng Yu came back after washing his face, he saw such a picture, Xiao Qiheng was sitting in a wheelchair, Jiang Li was squatting beside his legs, looking up at him slightly, with a gentle smile on his lips.
This really didn't look like a picture of a subordinate getting along with a master. Zheng Yu touched his chin strangely, always feeling something was wrong.
But his attention was soon taken away by the kingfisher in Xiao Qiheng's palm, watching the little kingfisher that shit on him circling obediently in Xiao Qiheng's palm, and then he noticed the birdcage hanging on the grape rack, Only then did he realize that this little kingfisher was raised by Xiao Qiheng.
Realizing this, Zheng Yu strode over: "Okay, so this is the bad guy you raised, and I said that it happened to be on my forehead, so it was intentional."
Jiang Li stood up: "Young Master."
Seeing him, the kingfisher twittered and didn't even eat anything. With one wing, it wanted to fly back to the shelf. Zheng Yu stretched out his hand quickly to catch it: "I still want to run, I'll roast it today." it's..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Li suddenly blocked his hand with his hand, turned his wrist to remove the strength from his hand, and said, "Young Lord, calm down, you are just an ignorant little bastard."
His movements were obviously practiced in martial arts. Zheng Yu was surprised and grabbed his wrist and pulled him out. The two of them passed several moves in an instant in the courtyard.
Xiao Qiheng didn't make a sound to stop him. He watched Jiang Li practice martial arts every day, and he was sure of Jiang Li's skills, knowing that he would not be easily hurt by Zheng Yu.
Jiang Li's martial arts in this life was taught by Zhao Qing. Although he has only practiced for four years, he has the experience and foundation of previous lives. His strength is actually higher than that of Zheng Yu. However, given the disparity in their identities, he still chooses to keep it Gained strength and drew a tie with the opponent.
Zheng Yu didn't expect Jiang Li to know martial arts at first, and he was on equal footing with himself, so he couldn't help but be surprised and said to Jiang Li: "Good guy, I didn't realize that you know martial arts, did Zhao Qing teach you? I think the moves are very similar. his."
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, and said slightly apologetically, "I offended you."
"Hey, don't worry about it." Zheng Yu's character is informal and he doesn't care about it, and judging from Xiao Qiheng's reaction when he and Xiao Qiheng were VIPs before, Jiang Li should not only be a servant, but maybe a cronies he cultivated Not necessarily, so he said, "It's good to have martial arts, and it can protect your highness the crown prince."
Xiao Qiheng: "..." Gu doesn't need protection.
Jiang Li told Zheng Yu that Cuiyu was raised by him, and he apologized to him on Cuiyu's behalf, hoping that his lord would not remember Xiaoniao's fault.
"It's not impossible." Zheng Yu grinned and said, "I want to eat something good tonight, so I will have a tooth-dashing festival."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "No problem."
Although it was already March, the weather was cold in the late spring, and the temperature was still a little cold at night, so Jiang Li decided to have a self-service barbecue in the yard at night.
It's not the first time I've done barbecue. The grill and sauces are all available in the hall, but the only thing missing is the ingredients.
Xiao Qiheng pointed to Zheng Yu who was teasing the kingfisher with his neck up: "Go."
"Me?" Zheng Yu thought he heard it wrong, "You want me to go to the kitchen?"
Xiao Qiheng nodded: "Why, don't you want to eat?"
Zheng Yu couldn't believe it: "... My dignified and loyal young master, if you want to have a meal, you have to go to the dining room to get the ingredients?"
"The situation is special, so I'll trouble you, Young Master." Jiang Li said, "If possible, it would be best to ask for another half sheep."
Compared with the unfavored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zheng Yu, the little Marquis, is the only seedling of the Marquis Mansion. Not to mention his status is noble, but now he has returned to Beijing to be enshrined, he can be called a "popular man". You can get the freshest and most abundant portion.
In order to eat, Lord Zheng Xiaohou endured it and left the hall with Xiao Luzi.
After he left, Jiang Li and Xiao Qiheng glanced at each other, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Zheng Yu lived up to expectations, he brought back a lot of ingredients, and the manager of the dining room specially sent someone to help him bring them back together.
Barbecue must-haves such as mutton skewers and beef skewers are indispensable. Jiang Li took the meat off, Cuiya and Xiaoluzi were in charge of skewers, Zhao Qing was in charge of burning charcoal, and Mother Zhou was in charge of distributing the sauce. Everyone was not the first. This is the first time to do these tasks, and the movements are extremely agile, and everything is ready soon.
The half lamb ginger that I brought back was used for roasting, brushed with my own homemade sauce, and grilled slowly on the charcoal. Everyone else grilled by themselves, as much as they could eat.
As for Xiao Qiheng's share, Jiang Li was naturally in charge.
Seeing everyone doing their own thing, Jiang Li couldn't help thinking of the first time he had a barbecue by himself.
At that time, Xiao Luzi and the others stood aside and didn't dare to do anything, thinking that eating with the master was too out of bounds, and finally Xiao Qiheng asked, and they started to roast with trepidation.
Later, the number of times increased, and everyone relaxed a little. After all, there were few people in the Hall of Qinghe, and there have been only a few people in the past few years. After a long time, everyone also regarded this place as their home in their hearts.
Jiang Li deftly grilled a plate of mutton skewers and brought them to Xiao Qiheng and Zheng Yu, and then went back to continue grilling other things.
Zheng Yu has been guarding the Xiyang Pass for many years, and the most eaten food is mutton, but there is no way to eat it skewered and grilled like this, and the sauce of Jiang Li's barbecue is homemade, which blends in the meat and emits a delicious smell. Very strong fragrance.
Zheng Yu took a bite and found that the lamb was very tender. After the sauce suppressed the smell of the lamb, the deliciousness of the meat was fully highlighted.
Xiao Qiheng saw that the meat skewers on the plate were half gone, frowned, and gave him a neutral look.
Zheng Yu said while eating: "Where did you find such a treasure? Not only can he know martial arts, but he can also cook and eat, and he looks good... By the way, he can also play the piano, right?"
He remembered the scene of Jiang Li sitting at the piano table today.
Where did you find it
Xiao Qiheng's eyes fell on Jiang Li who was helping him barbecue not far away, and he remembered the scene when Jiang Li first appeared in front of him.
At that time, Jiang Li was a fourteen-year-old child. Although he was fair and clean, his figure was thin and weak, and he looked very weak, but he was so weak that he lifted the eight-foot-high wooden screen with one hand, without even frowning. wrinkle.
Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Qiheng's lips raised slightly: "He brought it to the door himself."
The movement in Zheng Yu's hands paused, he turned his head to look at him, and said "tsk", "Are you showing off?"
Xiao Qiheng remained silent, he found that Jiang Li was still eating the barbecue, his mouth was full from eating, but his hands were not flustered at all, the meat skewers on the grill were almost torn out by him.
Jiang Li roasted Xiao Qiheng's portion, and baked some to share with Zhao Qing and the others. When he walked in front of Xiao Luzi, Xiao Luzi stepped aside and looked at him warily.
In the past few years, although Jiang Li and Xiao Luzi did not have any conflicts again, Xiao Luzi still remembered his feud with Jiang Li, and he couldn't help but feel defensive when he approached.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing: "What are you hiding from? Are you afraid that I will hit you?"
Xiao Luzi really thought so. Jiang Li knew martial arts, which was something they all knew. He always felt that if Jiang Li was in a bad mood one day, he would beat him up to vent his anger. After all, he had not treated him well before.
Holding the plate in his hand, Jiang Li glanced at the dark beef skewers on Xiaoluzi's grill and reminded: "Your skewers are on fire."
Xiao Luzi looked back and found that several of his skewers were on fire, so he subconsciously patted them with his hands. Jiang Li reached out to stop him, and with his other hand, he quickly picked up the burning skewers and pressed them directly on the ground, igniting the flames. off.
Xiaoluzi: "..." cruel.
Under Jiang Li's hospitality, Zheng Yu had a full meal and left contentedly. Before leaving, he bluntly said that he would come again next time.
Barbecue is good, but it has one of the biggest disadvantages, that is, the smell is too strong, and after eating it is full of that smell. Xiao Qiheng likes to be clean, and he must take a bath immediately after eating.
Jiang Li filled the bathtub with water, pushed Xiao Qiheng to the bathroom, and undressed him to take a bath.
Different from the past, now Jiang Li has obtained Xiao Qiheng's permission to serve him by his side when he takes a bath.
The bathroom was filled with white smoke, Xiao Qiheng leaned against the pool and closed his eyes to rest his mind, while Jiang Li was behind him, washing his long hair with saponins.
He moved gently, first combing the other party's ink-like black hair with his fingers, and then using clean water to wash off the foam on it little by little.
"Okay, Your Highness." Jiang Li reminded Xiao Qiheng aloud.
"Um."
Xiao Qiheng responded, opened his eyes, stood up slowly while supporting the edge of the pool, and got out of the pool with Jiang Li's help.
Although his legs are still unable to walk normally, they are much better than before, and he can barely stand for a short period of time.
Jiang Li dressed him and wanted to help him to sit in the wheelchair, but he waved his hands and tried to move, but his feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties. He spent a lot of effort, but he just moved After only half a step away, sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Jiang Li saw that he was frowning tightly, looking very uncomfortable, and said distressedly: "Your Highness..."
Xiao Qiheng gritted his teeth, and wanted to move his other foot, but unexpectedly there were water stains on the ground, his foot slipped, and he fell backwards unexpectedly!
"Your Highness, be careful!!"
Jiang Li exclaimed, and in desperation, he put one arm around his shoulder and the other around his waist, and just hugged him horizontally like this!
Xiao Qiheng: "..."
What happened? Do you know what you are doing!
