Views:

Xie Xun got up late again. I slept soundly last night and it was really hard to get up in the morning.

He washes and dresses in a hurry, and without any precautions, his memory suddenly wakes up, and all the bits and pieces of last night poured into his mind.

He was still wearing a robe in a hurry, but suddenly his whole body was frozen, as if someone had tapped an acupuncture point, and he was still holding his sleeves in his hand, so he froze.

When Zhimo saw that he was still, he was confused, and hurriedly stepped forward to remind: "Master, it's going to be late for the value-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xie Xun's unusual appearance.

There was a bright blush on his fair face, his face was hot, and even his eyes were misted by the heat.

His black eyes were bright and moist, his brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face was unpredictable, and finally turned to annoyance and shame.

"Father?"

Zhimo called him again, Xie Xun came back to his senses, his face was steaming, and he was even more flustered, and rushed out with his clothes disheveled.

"Master, Yu Pei!"

"Master, the belt is not yet fastened."

"Master, the neckline! The neckline!"

Xie Xun was suffocating his head in front of him, and the two servants rushed behind him. When he suddenly saw his figure, he ran to the side extremely sensitively - and then got into the bushes.

Zhi Yan and Zhi Mo were stunned and suspected that they were still dreaming. This is their grandfather who had collapsed before the mountain and remained unchanged! How is it possible to do such a thing as drilling a bush!

They looked in the direction where Xie Xun was dodging, and saw the beautiful and bright third lady walking towards this side.

Seeing the two of them froze in place, Jiang Shuyao was inevitably confused and asked, "Where's your master?"

The two didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhimo's brain was a little dull, and he subconsciously raised his hand and pointed at the pile of trees.

Zhi Yan held him down and smiled stiffly: "If you go back to Madam, it's already worth it."

Jiang Shuyao tilted her head: "Really? Why didn't I see him, I thought he didn't get up." She muttered softly, "I told him to bring meals."

Xie Xun couldn't hear the conversation here. Seeing that Jiang Shuyao was stumbled by them, he hurried to the Moon Cave door, intending to take this opportunity to slip away.

Zhimo and Zhiyan saw that Xie Xun was about to walk through the gate of the Moon Cave, when Jiang Shuyao turned around after speaking, and was caught in a flash.

"Xie Xun!" Jiang Shuyao stopped him and walked towards him with the lunch box.

Xie Xun's body was stiff, he turned around at a loss, and tried his best to pretend to be a chance encounter.

"Where are you from? Why didn't I see you just now?" Jiang Shuyao asked smoothly.

Xie Xun didn't know how to lie, his scalp was numb, and he secretly vowed that he would never drink more alcohol in the future.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuyao didn't bother with him about this issue, and instead said, "Last night..."

Xie Xun was most afraid of her mentioning this, so he quickly stopped the topic: "I was abrupt about what happened last night, you forget it." Thinking of being greedy behind her, she acted coquettishly and asked her to cook for her. worth it, so embarrassed.

Jiang Shuyao was stunned when he heard the words, then covered his mouth and smiled: "What is abrupt?" How is this related to the word abrupt

Zhi Yan's eyes widened when he heard the words, last night? abrupt? Thinking of my grandfather coming back drunk last night...

He bit the tip of his tongue sharply, and he lost his innocence!

What's going on, is it the grandfather's disorderly sex after drinking or the wife's taking advantage of others' danger

He was thinking wildly and forgot to step forward to make a clearance for Xie Xun.

Xie Xun was even more embarrassed by Jiang Shuyao's smile, and his face was almost bleeding.

Jiang Shuyao put away his smile and put the lunch box in his hand: "It was late last night, and I didn't have time to prepare. I made some this morning. If you're hungry, you can eat it anytime. It's just cold. The lunch box is not kept warm, and I am still trying to improve it." She said this with a little pride in her eyes, and her eyebrows were bright, "It is estimated that a new lunch box can be made tonight, and you can bring hot dishes and hot meals tomorrow. ."

Xie Xun was holding the handle of the lunch box in his hand, but he felt extremely hot, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were looming.

He didn't expect Jiang Shuyao to be so attentive, and he was a little stunned. Seeing her radiant appearance, she was stunned and turned into panic again. She didn't dare to look closely, and couldn't say anything, so she could only say dryly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jiang Shuyao laughed again, "You said that you can't default on your debt."

Xie Xun's face burned again, desperately scolding himself to calm down, why is this! What a shame!

He wanted to run away, but his feet were firmly glued to the ground, unable to move.

This scene shows that Yan Zhi is in a hurry, but he can't delay, it will be too late!

Xie Xun was still there, and said straightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Won't."

"I'll definitely use it all up."

"Well, it's not necessary, eat too much to support it."

"… oh yes, um, that's right."

Zhi Yan couldn't take it anymore: "Master! It's going to be late for the value!" Where is the graceful master who is sitting still and can't be bothered to see.

Xie Xun was startled, looked up at the sky, and said to Jiang Shuyao, "I'll go first!"

Before he finished speaking, he hurried away, halfway through the run, and couldn't help but look back at her.

Seeing her standing there looking at him, she quickly turned around and continued to run away, the corners of her robe fluttered, her hair swayed, and her figure disappeared in the gradually bright morning light.

Zhiyan felt a little emotional when he saw this scene.

Since he was a child, he has restrained himself and resumed rituals. At a young age, he has a mature and prudent look. He doesn't like things and doesn't feel sorry for himself. Today, he looks like a teenager.

Xie Xun rushed to the duty room on the spot, put the lunch box aside and started to work.

He was erudite and talented, he studied under the tutelage of prime ministers, and once traveled abroad to study, everyone took him as the head, and they would come to him for consultation when encountering difficulties.

A colleague, Guan Ying, came over holding a ledger, put it on Xie Xun's table, and asked, "Bo Yuan, do you think there is something strange here, Li Fu and I have been staring at it for a few days, and finally - what's wrong with you? "

Xie Xun returned to his senses, with a calm and calm expression on his face. Just when Guan Ying thought he wanted to solve his doubts with confidence, he only heard Xie Xun say: "What did you just say?"

ho!

There were a few heads sticking out around him, and Xie Boyuan was also in a trance.

Guan Ying made his guess first, and felt uneasy: "But something happened to the dam construction?"

Someone probed: "Or is the lack of dry food in the north still unresolved?"

"No, it should be that group of thieves and merchants making trouble again."

"Or did Taixue not hold back?"

"How is that possible? It should be... "

Xie Xun reluctantly pushed their heads away and coughed: "No, it's because I didn't have breakfast, I'm a little hungry."

"… "

Someone was about to take back the head that was watching the excitement, when Lin Cheng jumped out of nowhere and punched Xie Xun on the shoulder: "Who are you lying, who doesn't know about you, Xie Boyuan, even if you don't eat or drink for three days and three nights, you won't be able to. Showing this dazed look, tell me, what happened?"

"I didn't lie to you, I'm really hungry." Xie Xun was speechless and pushed Lin Cheng's body away.

Lin Cheng thought of Xie Xun's appearance of "drinking his sorrows with wine" last night, and his heart ached. I'm afraid it's not that he didn't eat breakfast, but that he couldn't eat it!

He quickly ran back to his desk and brought the cakes to Xie Xun's table: "Eat some cakes to cushion your stomach."

Xie Xun had long been tired of the pastries from the East Palace on duty, and thanked Lin Cheng for his kindness.

He straightened his neckline, raised his chin slightly, and said in a calm tone, "I brought food from home."

Lin Cheng and Xie Xun have been playing together since they wore open-crotch pants. They know Xie Xun very well. Looking left and right, they always think his tone is weird

He didn't think much about it, and said, "I didn't expect you to bring some pastries. Just in time, I'm hungry too. Quickly take them out and give me a few pieces to eat."

Xie Xun ignored his last sentence and corrected: "It's not a cake."

"Isn't it pastry? That food is not delicious when it's cold. It's not like I haven't tried bringing food."

Xie Xun was also curious about what Jiang Shuyao had brought for him. He got up, picked up the lunch box from behind and put it on the table.

Everyone was listening to the liveliness here, and when they saw his movements, their eyes all fell on his lunch box.

Xie Xun's mood was quite subtle for a moment.

His mind quickly turned around, and he sat down calmly with a natural expression: "It's nothing new, you can hurry up and do what you're doing."

Most of the people were coaxed by him, and the remaining few didn't move, standing at his desk and staring at him.

Xie Xun was too embarrassed to drive people away. He was a little nervous and lifted the lid of the lunch box in his hand.

The top layer of the lunch box is neatly lined with a layer of seaweed rice, each column has a different style, assorted seaweed rice, egg yolk shredded pork seaweed rice, sweet corn floss seaweed rice and crab willow seaweed rice.

At first glance, yellow, green, white, and purple are mixed with bright colors. The rice balls are small and round, exquisite and novel, and people can't help but wonder about their taste.

"This is rice? Can you still do this, and will it taste good warm?"

"Look at what's on the lower floor?"

Xie Xun put his hand on the lower floor, paused for a while, and said with a face that is dedicated to his daily life: "Are you guys busy, why don't you go back to work?"

It's a pity that no one eats his tricks. If they used to be fooled, they might have been fooled away, but how could they go away after seeing these novel foods today.

"Pull away and give us a sneak peek."

Xie Xun couldn't, so he could only open the lower layer in front of them.

In a porcelain bowl is a crystal clear jelly, which is poured with sauce and chili oil, sprinkled with chopped green onion, red and green, and a faint spicy and sour taste wafts out when you open it.

There is also a small bamboo basket containing small crispy meat with salt and pepper. The skin is crispy and golden in color. It is cut into long strips as thick as fingers. The surface is sprinkled with a thin layer of pepper powder, and there are two pieces of green fragrant leaves in the middle. The aroma is overflowing. , There is a faint oily aroma of fried food, but there is no greasy smell.

"I haven't seen these food, what are they made of?"

"Can this fried food be eaten directly? I'm hungry after smelling it. Do you have any chopsticks? Give me a pair."

"Wait a little longer and it's time for dinner. Go to the pantry and ask for some vegetarian soup. It's just right to go with these dishes."

Xie Xun lowered his eyes, looking warm and cold, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Cheng sighed: "Last time I met you in the morning, I was greedy for the pancakes in your hand. I didn't expect that there are more exotic delicacies now. Where did the cook in your house come from?"

The silent Xie Xun suddenly raised his head, his black eyes shone with shimmering brilliance under his thick eyelashes, and said, "It wasn't made by the cook."

Everyone who chatted and discussed was taken aback: "That's it?"

Xie Xun said: "It's mine... Cough, husband, ma'am." It was the first time to say this word, and I was very unaccustomed to it.

Lin Cheng saw that he still had that cold-faced virtue, but when he took a closer look, he saw that he was pursing his lips slightly, the corners of his mouth seemed to be tilted upwards, and the ends of his eyes and brows were also stained with a shy smile.

Hiss - scary!

Why did he see on Xie Xun's coffin's face the shadow of his silly cat who likes to bask in the sun and grows its beard when it's happy
