"Qiu Da..." Before Qiu Yilan said the word "Xia", he saw Qiu Feng shaking his head slightly at him, and quickly changed his words knowingly, "Why is Brother Shi here?"
Qiu Feng said vaguely: "I was going out for an outing today, but the mastiff I borrowed from Lord Ling Xiaohou accidentally broke away and ran here to scare the noble lion cat, and then..."
If Jiang Qizheng or He Shuijin were here, they would probably be fine if they apologized. However, these two good-tempered people went to visit Princess Huainan. Zhuang Man, who was left to make the decision, didn't even pay attention to Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Sheng. How can I be so lenient
However, although Zhuang Man has a domineering temperament, he is very considerate to his own people. Qiu Yilan didn't need to say anything at this time, she came over and said: "Sister Qiu, are they people you know? Then forget it - Cousin Eighteen, your 'Mo Xue' was so frightened by their mastiff that she climbed up the tree and refused to come down. Now the maids are coaxing her! "
Jiang Qizheng was startled, then said: "It's just a cat, it will be fine after a while."
She has no time to care about pets now, and she is more interested in the autumn wind in front of her. In terms of appearance, Qiu Feng is not as elegant and elegant as Ruan Qingyan, and he is not as handsome as Jiang Yashuang, but he is still pretty, especially as he is a famous knight in the world, and he has a kind of heroism. His unruly demeanor cannot be concealed even by dressing up as a scholar.
"We are all wearing curtain hats now, and this person actually recognized Qiu Yilan at a glance. What is their relationship?" Jiang Qizheng felt that Qiu Feng's appearance and demeanor were enough to threaten her younger brother, so she asked calmly: "Sister Qiu, do you know who these are?"
Qiu Yilan heard her suspicion and said, "This brother is a close friend of my cousin. As for the rest..." She remembered that the handsome man with a voice like a clear spring in the mountains was the one Ruan Qingyan had taken a liking to in the past. My sister-in-law chooses to find Yuxi.
But she has met Xun Yuxi, but Xun Yuxi has never seen her, so naturally she cannot admit to knowing this person.
Qiu Feng took over and said, "I, He Feng, have been friends with Brother Ruan for eight years. Brother Xun, Xun Yuxi, and brother Li Xian, Li Xuan, the three of us went on an outing together today. We didn't want to neglect the mastiff and scare your family's pet... " He apologized, Jiang Qizheng said it was okay, and even scolded Zhuang Man for making a fuss, then let them go.
Seeing this, both Xun Yuxi, who was talking about it, and Li Xuan, who was taciturn, breathed a sigh of relief—no one wanted to offend Jiang Banchao over such a trivial matter.
After Qiu Feng and the others left, Jiang Qizheng invited everyone to sit inside the brocade barrier and took the opportunity to wink at He Shui Jin. The two of them grew up together and knew each other's thoughts without saying much.
After a while, Jiang Qizheng led Zhuang Man and others to joke, and she and Shui Jin quietly sat down in front of Qiu Yilan, chatting for a while, and then asked with a smile: "Is Mr. He going to attend the Spring Festival next year? Let me see how he is dressed. Is it a scholar?"
Qiu Yilan knew her purpose clearly and said calmly: "I don't know what his reputation is and whether he is interested in the apricot list."
He Shuijin didn't believe that she was not familiar with Qiu Feng. You must know that Qiu Yilan wore a veil before, with the veil hanging down to her chest. Her dress today is clearly new, and it is impossible to identify someone by her clothes. Isn't this particularly familiar, how can she call it out at a glance
Of course, it could be the identification through the maid without a hat - but just now Qiu Feng clearly looked directly at Qiu Yilan, not at Su He and Shen Shui!
After thinking for a while, He Shuijin said again: "Really? I have a distant cousin who is about the same age as you. Her mother is not in good health and cannot walk around, so she entrusted me with her affairs... Look at this Mr. He. Good looking."
Qiu Yilan knew in her heart that she wanted to find out the details of Qiu Feng, so she said calmly: "Oh."
He Shuijin frowned and was about to say something when Zhuang Man came over with Xue Nongqing on her arm: "Sister Qiu, this is your first time here at Jinxiu Slope. You must have never seen the Liuhua Waterfall behind you? Come on, let's take you with us. you go!"
Qiu Yilan and He Shuijin were in a bit of a stalemate, and they were happy to get away after hearing this: "Really? That's really great."
She, Zhuang Man, and Xue Nongqing put on their curtain hats and went out. Jiang Qizheng came over and explained to He Shuijin: "It's just a suspicion, it may not really be related. Since she didn't want to say it, if there was a stalemate, it would be nothing if found out in the end." , but it’s embarrassing.”
He Shuijin glanced at her: "She has heard what I meant and is not very happy. I guess it has nothing to do with it, otherwise she wouldn't be so confident."
"Oh, let's go back and tell Nineteen." Jiang Qizheng had a headache, "Sure enough, it's not that the whole family doesn't stay in the same house - there are not many brothers in the family who can worry about it. The one Nineteen likes, although she is a girl, is also a girl. A troublesome master."
The two of them had a headache here, but on the other side, Zhuang Man and Xue Nongqing were having a great time leading Qiu Yilan around.
The two girls were very familiar with Jinxiu Slope and took Qiu Yilan to visit various beautiful places one by one. Driving slowly all the way, it was almost lunch time when we arrived at the waterfall on the back slope with falling flowers like a plain silver falling from a low hill.
Zhuang Man asked someone to bring out the food box: "Xinu is hot, let me see if it has cooled down completely? I hope not, otherwise it won't taste good."
She directed the maid to put the dishes and snacks on the brocade felt. When she turned around, she saw Qiu Yilan standing by the waterfall, staring thoughtfully at a few happy fish swimming in the water.
"How is it? How is the scenery here?" Zhuang Man asked with a smile, "There are not many flowers now, and there are not many fallen flowers on this waterfall. By March, the water will be covered with flowers, and people may come. When you step on the tapestry - of course, it doesn't usually happen, because the area is guaranteed to be crowded at that time. "
Before she finished speaking, she saw Qiu Yilan raise her hand. Zhuang Man saw that she was holding two pebbles picked up by the waterfall. He was wondering why she picked up the pebbles. When he saw Qiu Yilan raised her hand, the two pebbles were picked up. After a "plop" sound, two unlucky fishes floated to the surface with their white bellies turned over, and the rest of the fishes dispersed in a rush!
Zhuang Man watched in stunned silence as she leaned down to pick up the two fishes very naturally, weighed them with skillful gestures, and smiled at herself: "Sister Zhuang, Sister Xue, you have been playing with me for so long, I'll treat you to it." How about fresh fish?”
Xue Nongqing covered her mouth in surprise: "Sister Qiu, you... are so amazing!"
"You want to do it yourself?" Zhuang Man was originally going to marvel at Qiu Yilan's ability to catch fish, but when he saw Qiu Yilan asking for a knife, as if he wanted to kill the fish himself, he couldn't help but be shocked! asked suspiciously.
She has already begun to learn to cook at this age, but when she cooks, the servants have prepared everything, and she just needs to throw it in and stir-fry it for a few times. Even if she learns like this, it is not going well - now look at Qiu Ye Lan wanted to do everything in person to treat the guests, and his scalp suddenly went numb, "We are out to have fun today, can we leave these things to the servants?"
"Don't worry, I'm good at this." Qiu Yilan knew that she was being regarded as a member of the dark cooking world, so she didn't explain and asked Su He to get things, "Pot, ingredients, firewood... I asked you to bring the things." Get some."
... After a long while, Zhuang Man and Xue Nongqing both wiped their mouths with satisfaction and praised continuously: "Sister Qiu, to be honest, don't be surprised by your craftsmanship: none of the cooks in our family can match it!"
Qiu Yilan left a pot of fish soup and asked her servants to bring it back to Jiang Qizheng and the others. She smiled and said, "This is because you are used to eating the food at home, and this is the first time you taste my cooking, so you think it is particularly delicious." ”
"I also learned cooking from my family, but no one wants to eat what I cook." Zhuang Man sighed melancholy, "Even my dog doesn't care about it!"
Xue Nongqing couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud: "Really or not?"
Zhuang Man said: "Do you think I look like a person who laughs at himself? Sister Qiu, how long have you been studying?"
So before you used me as a defense against the successor of the dark cooking world, was it because you yourself are the true disciple of this world? Qiu Yilan complained in her heart, and said: "It didn't take long... maybe I like this better, just think about it." Fortunately, Zhuang Man is not a careful person, so he didn't notice that Su He and Shen Shui were already there. She dropped her jaw several times and let it sink into the water. Su He knew her details very well!
She has never been in the kitchen here...
"Oh, maybe I'm stupid!" Zhuang Man didn't doubt it, "Your lyrics are so good, so it's no wonder that your cooking is delicious."
Qiu Yilan wondered what the relationship between these two things was. For example, if Ruan Qingyan becomes a Jinshi at the age of eighteen, he doesn't know how to cook at all!
She herself was very satisfied with the fish feast, and decided to take the two of them to make this outing a feast for the eyes - she couldn't live up to the picnic materials packed by Mother Li and Mother Zhou!
So he smiled and said: "Actually, there are a lot of delicious things outside this season, and fish is just one of them, such as wild vegetables, pheasants, hares, etc..."
The three of them were discussing in full swing, but they saw that the sky suddenly turned dark!
"Oops, it's going to rain, go back quickly!" Zhuang Man complained when he saw this, "It should be sunny this morning, how come it rains suddenly?" If he complained that the rain was about to fall, the three of them were busy He put on his curtain hat and ordered his servants to pack up their things and leave quickly.
Just when they returned to the top of the slope to join Jiang Qizheng and others who had sent someone to call them, raindrops as big as beans began to fall!
"Hurry up and get in the carriage!" When the sky was just dark, the carriage stopped behind the slope and was called to the side of the Jinzhan. Now the masters were pushed up first, waiting for the servants to collect their things and leave together.
Since they had become very familiar with each other after a meal at the waterfall, Zhuang Man simply pulled Xue Nongqing and got into Qiu Yilan's car together, asking her to continue describing the game.
"Not only are you a sharp-tongued person, you are also a foodie!" Qiu Yilan said to them repeatedly while cursing - almost all the people who survived in the previous life were wild survival masters, so just pick some common sense at that time. , can make Zhuang Man surprised.
But what surprised Qiu Yilan was that after she had been talking to these two people for so long, Su He could no longer calm down, and they actually said, "How do you know this?" without even asking.
"Do they all still have the attributes of a silly big sister?" Qiu Yilan couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, the carriage went down the Jinxiu Slope. Without the cover of the flowers and trees along the way, the rain became heavier. I lifted the curtain slightly and looked out. It was completely white and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"We can't walk like this, so we have to take shelter on the side of the road." A moment later, as a carriage in the team got stuck in a mud pit and could not get out for a long time, guards wearing raincoats conveyed Jiang Qizheng's words one by one, "Ahead. There is a pavilion not far away, and Her Royal Highness plans to wait there for the rain to subside before leaving. "
The pavilion was some distance from the road, and the carriage couldn't get out, and there was no soft sedan, so we had to get clogs and let the rich ladies trek there in person.
The rain was so heavy now that even though everyone had four or five servants to hold umbrellas to protect them from the rain, when they got to the pavilion, everyone's clothes were wet and they were in a miserable state.
"I knew I wouldn't have to put on makeup. This would be such an embarrassing situation." He Shuijin wiped his face with a handkerchief and said awkwardly when he saw a patch of rouge on the handkerchief.
Jiang Qizheng smiled and said: "It's all the same. There are no outsiders here anyway." The two of them were used to being the leaders. After a little tidying up, they ordered people to surround the pavilion with brocade barriers and hung a curtain in the middle. "Everyone came from the carriage. Did you bring a change of clothes with you? Send those who didn’t bring them to get them, and go inside one by one to change into dry clothes so as not to catch a cold.”
At this time, Qiu Yilan also remembered the firewood she had brought, and hurriedly ordered her servants to wrap things up and bring them over to light a fire to ward off the cold.
Although everyone was blocked by the rain on their way back to the city, they were not in a hurry. But after waiting in the pavilion for more than an hour, the rain still didn’t lighten up, so they all couldn’t sit still: “Isn’t it going to rain until night?”
Just when I was worried, I saw someone in the distance walking towards the pavilion, but I couldn't see clearly clearly. When they reached the steps under the pavilion, Jiang Qizheng asked in surprise: "Brother Eight, Brother Fourteen, Brother Nineteen, why are you here?"
