Xie Xunji was worried about what happened just now, and after all, he was a little uncomfortable, and he was absent-minded about dinner.

Jiang Shuyao ignored him and ate happily.

After eating, he put down his chopsticks and propped his head up to look at Xie Xun.

Her gaze fell on Xie Xun's face, making him feel itchy and numb, making him even more unable to eat.

He sighed silently in his heart, it seems that Jiang Shi still intends to talk to him about what happened just now.

He didn't understand why he was a little nervous, maybe it was because Jiang's marriage was peaceful and comfortable with him... In short, it was completely different from what he imagined the two of them to look at each other and become resentful. In this case, he I don't know what to do.

He heard Jiang Shuyao's voice: "Would you like to take me out of the house tomorrow, Xiumu?"

Xie Xun was still thinking about things in his mind, and he subconsciously responded when he heard the words: "Just now - huh?"

Jiang Shuyao saw his brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed: "You don't want to?"

Xie Xun looked at her and hesitated: "You just want to say this?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Shuyao said, "Are you willing or not?"

"I mean... Forget it, if you want to leave the house, I will naturally accompany you." Xie Xun wanted to explain, but found that the explanation was too much.

Jiang Shuyao actually just wanted him to go out with her and show it to the old lady. She didn't want him to accompany her. It would be boring for a woman to go shopping with a man.

But since he has already agreed, and he is too lazy to talk, he can accompany him if he wants.

After Xie Xun left, Bai Zhi immediately came over and said to Jiang Shuyao with a smile: "Miss, it seems that Uncle is still very good at talking."

Jiang Shuyao thought about her and Bai Zhi's plan, and said that he should bother Xie Xun every day, and he didn't seem to be disgusted or bored.

Jiang Shuyao shrugged: "Of course, he ate my meals several times, and he refused to accept this request. Is he embarrassed?"

Bai Zhi asked suspiciously: "But the young lady didn't cook specially for the uncle..." Every time Jiang Shuyao cooks delicious food, several of their maids have a share, and the uncle is really not a special one.

"That's also eating. Eating people's mouths is short, and changing a few meals for a small request is just right."

"Mmmm, Miss is right." Bai Zhi didn't care, anyway Jiang Shuyao was right.

Under the corridor not far away, Xie Xun stood at the corner and lowered his eyes upon hearing this.

When he turned back, he originally wanted to talk to Jiang Shuyao about Xie Pei today, but he listened to the words of the master and servant without a word.

His drooping eyes are very alien and stern, and his dark-colored jade brocade round neck robe complements his extraordinary bearing, his heroic spirit is sharp, and his tall and tall figure is like a tempered cold sword.

The maid who cut flowers under the porch was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. She didn't know whether to continue her work or slip away quietly.

Xie Xun only took a few breaths before turning around and strode away without looking back.

Seeing that his back disappeared, the little maid whispered, "The third master looks very angry."

The older maid next to her knocked on her head: "You still dare to chew on the base of your master's tongue?" But she couldn't hold back, "Third Master has always been cold-hearted, I don't think he is angry, but rather ... like... oops, I'm not angry anyway."

Xie Xun stepped out of the East Courtyard and wanted to go back to the study, but he felt that he had no intention of reading.

He really wanted to ask Jiang Shuyao that you've been trying so hard to please me these past few days, just to let me accompany you out of the house

No, she wasn't flattering at all. It's not like he hasn't seen what it looks like to be courteous. Those Yingyingyanyan, Crown Princess, Side Concubine, and Liang Di around the prince are just what they do.

Xie Xun couldn't say what was wrong, and couldn't understand why.

No, why should he care about her thoughts? Anyway, he didn't want to be a respectful couple with her, let alone be a concubine like the prince and the people in his palace. No matter what Jiang's plan was, he would just keep as estranged as he used to be. .

As if God wanted to prove his conjecture, Jiang Shuyao got up early the next morning to cook, excitedly preparing to go out to play, while Xie Xun was waiting in the study, and she didn't wait for a long time for her to let him call him over for dinner.

Across a moon gate, there is a lot of excitement, laughter and laughter, here is deserted, with porridge and side dishes.

Xie Xun quietly took a few mouthfuls of porridge and put down the bowl.

He has read a lot of books and likes poetry, but he has never really read the poetry about the love between two people. He knows very little about the relationship between men and women. He just intuitively believes that Jiang Shuyao does not seem to be as infatuated as he guessed. confused.

Jiang Shuyao and the maids happily ate hand-grabbing cakes. If it weren't for the matter of going out to play in the mansion today, everyone would not remember Xie Xun staying in the mansion today.

As a dowry maid, Bai Zhi has instructions. Whether it was her mother or Mrs. Xiangyang's uncle, they all asked her to match Jiang Shuyao and his wife, and they were optimistic about the worry-free young lady.

Naturally, she recognized the idea of Mrs. Xiangyang uncle. A woman's marriage is a second reincarnation, and the rest of her life's glory, shame, and joy are all tied to her husband.

So she suggested: "My uncle is in the mansion today, won't Miss bring him breakfast?"

Jiang Shuyao was stunned for a moment: "No need, he grew up in Xie Guogong's mansion since he was a child, and he has never used any fine food. I sent him a piece of cake in the past, and people may not appreciate it."

"But can the cakes made by the lady be the same?" Bai Zhi said, "I haven't seen this kind of fresh practice, and besides, the uncle doesn't look like that kind of picky person. Which time he didn't put the pot in the bowl? The food there is clean."

Uh... Xie Xun would blush with embarrassment when he heard this.

However, as a feeder, Jiang Shuyao was very useful when he saw that the other party liked his craftsmanship. She was amused by Bai Zhi's words, and said, "Then you can go and tell him, if he wants to come over, come over, if he doesn't want to, forget it."

Bai Zhi should be, and ran to Xie Xun to pass a message.

Xie Xun's personal servant saw that she was still holding a cake when she came to spread the word, and almost didn't scold. Even the maidservant in the outer courtyard is not so ignorant of the rules, and this maid is too arrogant.

He sneered inwardly, waiting for the third master to reprimand her, but listened to the third master who always paid attention to the rules and said "okay" in a flat and authentic tone.

Bai Zhi salutes and retires, leaving the little servant stunned.

Even though Bai Zhi covered her hands with her cuffs, Xie Xun still saw the piece of oil paper exposed on the cuffs.

His heart was suffocating, as if a mess of ink was drawn on a piece of rice paper, which made people feel uneasy and uneasy.

Before Jiang Shuyao got married, Xie Guogong's mansion inquired about her behavior, and they all said that she was mean and domineering, and liked to take down people to vent her anger. Even if it was someone else's maid, she would beat and scold her whenever she called her.

But now I see that she is so good to the maid, and before it is his turn, she has already rewarded the maid...

It seems that the rumors are not credible. Although she has been criticized and stigmatized in getting along with men, she is indeed very lenient towards her servants.

Xie Xun didn't realize that he was looking for a reason to comfort him. Thinking about it like this, he was a little relieved. Maybe the previous rumors about her molesting a talented man and peeping at a beautiful man were false.

He stood up refreshed and walked briskly towards the east wing.

After stepping into the small courtyard, he found that Jiang Shuyao was not in the east wing, so Xie Xun went to the small kitchen. He was used to Jiang Shuyao's habit of digging into the kitchen when he had nothing to do, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

The little maids were still chatting and laughing. Seeing Xie Xun coming in, they quickly took their smiles and saluted to avoid them.

Seeing Xie Xun, Jiang Shuyao didn't react much, and asked naturally, "You haven't had breakfast yet?"

Thinking of the porridge and side dishes he had eaten, Xie Xun refused to lie, so he bluntly said, "What are you doing?"

"Grab the cake." Jiang Shuyao was taken away, "Do you want it?"

Xie Xun coughed uncomfortably and nodded obediently.

Jiang Shuyao picked out one of the cake crusts that had been brushed with oil and woke up, put it in the iron pot, and put it on a slow kang over low heat.

Xie Xun rarely saw anyone cook, so he asked curiously, "Is it troublesome to do this?"

"Fortunately, I made it last night, brushed the oil and put it on, and it's good to put it on the kang today." The ancient people's entertainment life was too little, and there were still several hours from dark to bedtime, so she had no interest in reading at all. , so I went to the kitchen to cook and spend my time.

Xie Xun stood by and looked at her pancakes, and suddenly thought of the pancake fruit she stuffed him that morning, if he could still eat it when he was on duty in the future.

Thinking of Lin Cheng who buys biscuits at the corner of the back alley every day, if he sees the hot cakes he makes at home every day, he will definitely be envious.

He thought wildly, the cake crust was already cooked. Jiang Shuyao brushed a layer of sauce on the cake, put on lettuce and cut tenderloin, took a roll of oil paper, and the finger cake was freshly baked.

It's quick and easy to make, yet so fulfilling, that's what makes breakfast fun.

Xie Xun took it, but he didn't remember how unruly it was to eat cakes in the kitchen. When the hot temperature was passed to his fingertips through the oiled paper, his appetite was inexplicably aroused.

As I got closer, the fragrant but not greasy crispy taste of the palm cake became more intense.

He took a bite, and the crust of the cake was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, layered upon layers, fluffy and tough.

The oily aroma of the outer layer and the gluten aroma of the inner layer are well combined, and the sauce is slightly salty and appetizing.

This light bit into the crust, and he hadn't eaten the tenderloin and lettuce wrapped in it, so he just swallowed and took another big bite.

The tenderloin is marinated and delicious, fried crispy on the outside and inside, and the meat inside is delicious and juicy.

He ate happily until he heard the sound of his own chewing, realizing that he had just taken a big bite.

Before chewing it, he swallowed it hastily to cover it up. Looking up, Jiang Shuyao, like him, took a big bite, her cheeks were bulging, and it seemed that she was useless when she chewed it.

Jiang Shuyao chewed casually and swallowed the mouthful in his mouth, choked suddenly, and hurriedly drank a mouthful of soy milk to swallow it.

The soy milk with sugar is mellow and fragrant, and the bean flavor is full of flavor, which makes you feel full of satisfaction after drinking a big mouthful.

"Ah~" She sighed comfortably, it's more comfortable to eat breakfast like this.

Seeing Xie Xun staring at her, Jiang Shuyao also served him a bowl.

Xie Xun took it and ate the palm cake in his hand with soy milk. Jiang Shuyao saw that there were two crusts left on the board, so he made them all for him, and asked him to drink up the soy milk.

Xie Xun finished breakfast in the kitchen for the first time.

Jiang Shuyao was happy with the feeding, and Xie Xun swept away all the extra cakes and soy milk, and it was not wasted at all. Except for Xie Xun who ate a little bit, this breakfast was quite complete. ,,
