Along with the voice, Gu Rong has also stepped into the kitchen.
He couldn't stand the smell of smoke, so he avoided his head and coughed lightly. After getting used to it, he raised his eyes and looked into the room. However, the heat in the room was still there, and the smoke was filled with smoke. I don't know their faces.
"Brother Gu."
Li Qinyuan saw him coming, but he put down the spatula in a proper manner and gave him a fork.
"Well." Gu Rong smiled and asked Gu Wuyou again, "What were you talking about? I heard your laughter from afar."
"Just now-"
Gu Wuyou's eyes were still bent, and her tone was laughing. When she heard someone's question, she first glanced at Li Qinyuan, and saw that his ears were slightly red, and his eyes were full of threats. It seemed that if she dared to say it, he would Be rude to her.
She frowned and smiled even more cheerfully, but she didn't say what she said just now. Instead, she stepped forward and took the third brother's arm and said to him with a smile, "I'm talking about the little squirrel I raised."
Hearing the young man's almost inaudible sigh of relief, the smile on Gu Wuyou's face deepened.
That.
It's nothing for her to tease the general in private. In front of others, she still has to show her face to the general.
Gu Rong heard her talk about the little thing called "Fifteen", but he didn't say anything, just curled his fingers and tapped her forehead lightly, then passed them and looked at the stove, there were two big ones in total. The pot, one for cooking and the other for steaming, he walked over, opened the lid of the pot and glanced at it.
"This… "
His voice was a little surprised.
When he came, Gu Rong didn't have much expectations. He was a son who was raised by rich and precious spring water. Even if Li Qilang didn't have anyone to serve on weekdays, he still felt that he shouldn't be very good when it comes to cooking.
Originally, he also thought that if it really didn't work, he invited the cook to come over.
I didn't really think about doing it myself.
His cooking skills are really unbearable, it's a small joke to make a joke, but if it really makes them sick, it's his fault.
Who would have thought that I would see such a picture, braised pork ribs, fried vegetables in oil, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of steamed fish, only a little soy sauce was poured on it, but it was fragrant... This is nothing compared to those restaurants outside. The chef did it, but it has surpassed many ordinary people.
At least a thousand times better than him.
Gu Rong couldn't help sighing: "Qilang's cooking skills, if he opens a restaurant, I'm afraid he will get customers like clouds."
Li Qinyuan smiled, "It's just that I learned a few dishes in my spare time. The third brother will wait, and there's another dish of braised shrimp, which will be ready soon."
Gu Rong didn't notice that Li Qinyuan's address changed from "third brother Gu" to "third brother", and still smiled: "I don't know who will have such a good fortune to marry Qilang in the future." Although he was also born in an aristocratic family, Confucius and Mencius never thought that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.
In this world, except for the matter of childbirth, it is not feasible for non-women.
Other things, such as sweeping, washing, cooking, what must women do
Thinking of cooking by myself before and losing many battles, I couldn't help but want to ask others for advice, "If Qilang is free in the future, he will often come to sit at home and give me advice."
Because of what Gu Rong said before, Li Qinyuan was looking down at Gu Wuyou. Hearing the words, the smile in his eyes narrowed, and he calmly retracted his gaze, looked at Gu Rong, and replied "Okay" with a smile.
Seeing his agreement, Gu Rong nodded again.
Just as she was about to turn back to talk to Gu Wuyou, she saw that her little face was blushing, and her eyes seemed to be filled with two spring water, with endless shyness, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu?"
"what?"
Gu Wuyou didn't seem to get out of the shyness, looked at him blankly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her sister's confused appearance, Gu Rong couldn't help shaking her head, raised her hand and tapped her forehead, and said with a smile, "Why do you get more confused as you get older? What did you just think, so ecstatic?"
Gu Wuyou blushed, naturally it was impossible to tell him what was in his heart, instead he said sophistry: "Third brother also said that I, you used to dislike going into the kitchen the last time, since you came back from the outside last time. I've been thinking about this."
"You—" She didn't know what to think, she blinked suddenly, and guessed, "You won't have someone you like, right?"
That's why it has changed so much!
Hearing this sentence suddenly, Gu Rong's expression changed slightly, but it was only a momentary effort, and he returned to normal again. Looking at Gu Wuyou, he said slowly, "Don't ask around, children."
Gu Wuyou pouted and was very dissatisfied, "I'm already sixteen, where am I so small?"
Didn't say anything about it.
In the previous life, the third brother had a fiancee, but the fiancee died before entering the door. The third brother’s business grew bigger and bigger, and he seldom returned to the capital, and the marriage was always delayed. At least before her death, the third brother Not married yet.
Li Qinyuan had just put the plate of braised shrimp on a plate, when he saw that the little girl was bowing her head and didn't know what she was thinking, she asked aloud, "What are you thinking about?"
"No, nothing." Gu Wuyou shook his head, glanced around him again, and asked in doubt, "Where's the third brother?"
Li Qinyuan: "The dish is ready, he went out and called someone to serve the dish."
"Ok?"
Gu Wuyou leaned over to take a look, the dishes not only fragrant, but also very delicious, they made people greedy, and the kitchen was not messy at all, only the oil pan was still steaming, and the rest of the things were like , how is it now.
She envied and sighed: "Brother is really amazing."
She also remembered that she was in a hurry to make bowls of noodles before, tossing the kitchen into a mess, making noodles in a mess, and finally having to rely on the general to accompany her to clean up.
He sighed again.
Seeing her like this, Li Qinyuan couldn't guess what she was thinking. He glanced outside the house and found that no one had come in. He raised his hand and touched her head, the tenderness on his face was condensed in the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, " You don't have to do it, you don't have to learn it, these things are done by me."
Gu Wuyou was startled and looked up at him. Just as he was about to speak, he realized that the hand above his head had been taken back, followed by the voices of Shi Shu and Bai Lu.
someone is coming.
She also temporarily restrained the expression on her face, but the joy and throbbing in her heart were still there.
Lunch was eaten at Dihuaxuan.
This was originally Gu Rong's study, but he didn't like to read and write in a dull place, so he adjusted it himself, and removed all those ancient shelves and everything, leaving only a few bookshelves, which were placed next to the wall. A wall of books.
Because all the desks and bookshelves were removed, only a soft couch was placed by the window, which seemed to be very spacious, so a small table was made outside.
Gu Rong usually travels south and north, and has seen many rare things.
This table looks ordinary, but it is also a rarity. When you want to drink tea, you can fold the legs of the table in half, and you can sit on the floor.
The table is facing a moon gate, not the one outside, but a small moon gate on the white wall for viewing the scenery in the yard.
When they were facing each other, they could see a large banana leaf and a few green bamboos.
The three of them didn't need to be served by anyone, so they didn't let Bai Lu and Shi Shu be by their side.
Gu Rong is not greedy for his mouth, but today these dishes are very in line with his taste, especially the steamed fish, he even ate several bites...
But there are still doubts, "How did Qilang keep the fish scales?"
"I heard people say before that the fish scales can keep the freshness of the fish." Li Qinyuan smiled, "It's the first time I tried it, but fortunately it tastes good."
As he spoke, he quietly picked the fishbone.
Gu Rongzai, he didn't want to blatantly get food for the little girl, he could only pick up the fishbone and move the best part of a fish to Gu Wuyou for her convenience.
"It turned out to be because of this," Gu Rong smiled, "it's really good to eat like this."
"correct-"
Gu Rong didn't know what to think, and asked again: "The hunt will be around in a few days, what are you going to do this time?"
Li Qinyuan moved his hand for a while, then glanced at Gu Wuyou first, and when she saw her small eyes looking at him, he couldn't help laughing: "Go." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little girl on the opposite side with a smile, and he looked at him. He couldn't help but laugh.
There was nothing more to say after that.
After dinner, the three of them drank another cup of tea, and then Gu Rong asked the waiter to take Li Qinyuan out, and agreed to meet again in a few days, and then stood under the porch and watched his disappearing figure. Turning to look at Gu Wuyou, he smiled with her and said, "It's windy outside, let's go in."
"… Um."
Gu Wuyou nodded, his eyes still reluctantly swept over the eaves and looked out, but people have long gone, where can they still see it
"Little five?"
Gu Rong walked a few steps and didn't hear anyone following behind him. He couldn't help but stop and turned to look, "What's wrong?"
Gu Wuyou shook his head, "It's okay."
This time, she took a step and followed him. She didn't notice the thoughtful expression of the third brother. She opened her mouth and asked: "Third brother, when did you get to know him so well? Didn't you like him very much before?"
When Gu Rong heard this, he regained his senses and said with a smile, "I used to be narrow-minded."
Sensing that Gu Wuyou was looking at her suspiciously, he told her what happened a few days ago, "A few days ago, I was talking business outside, and Qilang helped me block a few glasses of wine. He is young and doesn't act at all. Don't be afraid, it's good."
"Later I saw that he had plans to do business, so I let him come and sit at home."
Gu Wuyou didn't know about these things, but he still said, "The third brother, please help him."
She doesn't know how to do business, but she also knows that this road is not easy to walk. A person with long sleeves and good dance like the third brother has suffered a lot when he first started, and he came back drunk several times.
The general is only seventeen now and has a straight temper. She is afraid that he will be bullied outside.
Even if Gu Wuyou didn't say it, Gu Rong also planned to help Li Qinyuan, but he lowered his eyelids, his eyes flashed, and he spoke very slowly, "Why should I help him?"
"he-"
Gu Wuyou opened his mouth to say something, but when he thought of something, he held back and said, "He saved my ninth brother and me before, so you can help him."
Gu Rong hasn't seen her little cousin acting like a spoiled child for a few years. She wanted to test someone, but she couldn't bear it, so she grabbed the wrist that was shaken by her, and laughed: "Okay, okay, understood."
"Let go first."
Gu Wuyou obediently let go of his hand, and then he didn't wait any longer. He smiled and said a few words to the person before walking out.
Gu Rong looked at her leaving figure and shook his head amusingly, as for the guesses in his heart, he didn't mention it again.
a few days later.
The Sheng family welcomed another group of people.
On this day, it was still early, but Zhao Chengyou led the Sheng family outside.
In the white fog, Zhao Chengyou's face was not good-looking. It should be said that since he learned from Sheng Ze's mouth on New Year's Eve that the man was coming, his face was no longer good-looking... Hearing a horseshoe from far and near With a sound, he lifted his thin eyelids and looked over.
The leading man wore a black cloak and a white jade crown.
This person is Yong An Hou Zhao Sheng.
As he got closer, he could see that Zhao Sheng's face was very similar to that of Zhao Chengyou, but his eyebrows and eyes were stained with some traces of the years, and because of his different temperament, he didn't look as close as Zhao Chengyou, his eyes were like eagles, and his body was also covered with a strong superior. momentum.
When Zhao Chengyou saw him, his shoulders tensed up. He took the lead to meet him without waiting for anyone to approach. When the horse's hoof stopped, he bowed and called out, "Father."
Zhao Sheng held the reins, his slightly downcast eyes did not show any warmth, and his expression was majestic and indifferent. He looked down at Zhao Chengyou, and when he raised his thin lips, the words he spat out were harsh and inhumane. Said: "Useless things."
Zhao Chengyou still lowered his head.
Hearing this, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his thin lips stretched into a line, but when he looked up, the expression on his face returned to normal, and he admitted his mistake in a low voice, "It's the son that's useless."
Some things are not good to say outside.
Zhao Sheng gave him a cold look, and said nothing more, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight through the crowd into the house, but he didn't put down the whip in his hand.
Sheng Ze was a little scared when he saw his posture, he couldn't help pulling Zhao Chengyou's arm and whispered, "Little Master..."
"fine."
Zhao Chengyou gave him a relieved smile, and then turned to look at Zhao Sheng's back. Seeing that he was holding a horse whip, his thin lips were lightly pursed, and he finally followed in.
Enter the hall.
Seeing Zhao Sheng standing behind his back holding the whip, he didn't speak, he closed the door with his eyelids down, and then knelt down.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhao Sheng threw the whip aside, looked at Zhao Chengyou's kneeling figure indifferently, and ordered coldly, "Follow me to take care of the house tomorrow."
Zhao Chengyou never frowned when he was whipped before, but now he frowned.
Zhao Sheng looked at him lightly, "What? You don't want to?"
"… No."
"There is no best, you have to know why you are here." After that, Zhao Sheng didn't look at him again, and went straight out.
It didn't take long.
Sheng Ze ran in and saw that Zhao Chengyou was still kneeling on the ground, the clothes on his body had already been stained with blood, he exclaimed, tears suddenly came out, ran over to support the person, and cried and said, "He, why is he? I can hit you like this!"
"I'm going to find a doctor for you!" He was about to call someone.
"No need..." Zhao Chengyou's voice was a little weak. He rested his hands on the ground and stood up with Sheng Ze's support. He looked at the direction Zhao Sheng was leaving, bullying the frost like snow, and his voice was very light and low, " I'll be fine with the medicine later."
He didn't want his appearance to be seen by outsiders.
"Little Master..."
Sheng Ze's eyes were red, and seeing his firm expression, he didn't dare to say more, he could only carefully help the person walk into the yard.
The servant outside had already received Sheng Ze's order and left. Zhao Chengyou gritted his teeth and limped to his house. The injury on his body was very painful, but he couldn't bear it.
He was used to it since he was a child.
It doesn't matter how naughty and naughty his so-called second brother is.
But what about him
No matter how good he is, as long as he doesn't go with that person's will, he will be whipped.
this time.
He still stayed a few times, probably because he was afraid that he would go to the government's mansion tomorrow for people to see clues.
The thin lips pulled out a sneer, Zhao Chengyou's heart was barren, mixed with endless hatred, and the hand under his sleeve was clenched tightly, probably because the step under his feet was too big and affected the wound on his body.
"His—" Even though he gritted his teeth, he couldn't control his voice.
Sheng Ze said worriedly, "Little Master?"
"… fine."
Zhao Chengyou shook his head and continued to walk towards his house. When he was helped to the bed, his eyes swept to the two ceramic dolls on the shelf beside the bed, his expression paused, and his eyes finally fell on the one that looked very much like Gu. On a carefree girl doll.
I couldn't help thinking in my heart: If Gu Wuyou knew about it, what would happen
Will she feel sorry for him? Will you cry? Thinking of the conversation on New Year's Eve, the hope in Zhao Chengyou's heart just rose, but he was suppressed again. He is not a fool, and he knows that Gu Wuyou really doesn't have him in his heart now.
For her.
Whether he is good or bad, it has nothing to do with her.
It was as if his heart had been cut by a sharp knife. Zhao Chengyou pursed his lips and put his hands on his chest. There was a heart-wrenching pain there, but he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
the next day.
Gu Wuyou and Gu Jiufei ate with their father.
In the past few days, Gu Wuji was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he didn't eat with Gu Wuji for a few days. Today, when he finally got free, he called the two children over. During the meal, Gu Wuji would gossip. Said: "I heard that the Li family Qilang has been looking for your third brother for the past few days because he wants to do business."
heard.
Gu Jiufei's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and involuntarily glanced at Gu Wuyou, who was facing him.
Gu Wuyou nodded with a smile, and admitted without hesitation, "Yes, the third brother said that although he is young, he is decisive and decisive in his actions, but he is not very familiar with things in the market, so he needs more experience."
Gu Wuji couldn't help but nod his head when he thought of the relationship, "That child is indeed a good one."
"Daddy really thinks this way?" Although Gu Wuyou knew about Daddy's temperament, she couldn't help but ask, she put down her chopsticks and looked at people seriously: "I see that everyone else thinks that as a man, you should test for fame and go to the battlefield before you go to war. Right."
Gu Wuji frowned and said angrily, "Who ordered this?"
Seeing his daughter looking at him eagerly, he softened his tone and continued: "There has never been a rule in this world that stipulates what a person should do and should not do, everyone should have their own way, why should they be criticized by the world? Delayed?"
"From ancient times to the present, how many celebrities have also been in business? Some even carried the burden and sold them along the street, but in the end, they are still famous for thousands of years."
Some words are too deep.
Gu Wuji didn't want to talk about it at first, he always felt that they were too young and didn't understand what they said, but seeing a pair of children looking at him, he still put down his chopsticks, looked at them and said solemnly: "We can't be because of others. Status and status, but to consider whether he is a qualified and excellent person."
"Whether he is good or not is not about where he is, but what he has done."
"Even if he is just a pawn, but he has the will to make a living for the people, that is worthy of praise."
"On the contrary—" Gu Wuji paused for a moment, and his tone became contemptuous, "If he is in a high position, but only cares about his own happiness, then such a person is not worthy of being looked up to."
After hearing these words, Gu Jiufei lowered her eyes and became thoughtful. After being stunned for a moment, Gu Wuyou bent her eyes again. She smiled and picked up the chopsticks and held some for others. Cai, smiled and said, "Daddy eat."
"What's wrong?" Gu Wuji looked a little stunned.
Gu Wuyou frowned and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just think what Daddy said is too reasonable. Daddy has worked hard these days, so eat more."
"You kid..."
Gu Wuji shook his head, but didn't say anything. He smiled and picked up the vegetables that Gu Wuji had given him, and slowly began to eat.
In the room, the father and daughter were eating and talking, looking happy, but before they had finished eating, Chang Shan came in, he saluted the three, then looked at Gu Wuji and said, "Master Guo, the Marquis of Yongan is here. already."
