"Far away, the stone path is slanted in the cold mountain, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are as red as the flowers in February."
Su Nuannuan held up the stone and carefully looked it up, down, left, and right, her face was full of confusion, and she murmured: "What does this mean? Could it be that the clue left by Lord Long is in Yuelu Mountain?"
"Yuelu Mountain? How do you say it?" Duan Tingxuan didn't expect his wife to catch clues that he hadn't thought of from this poem at all, so he couldn't help but cheer up and asked hastily.
"It seems to say that this poem describes the scenery of Yuelu Mountain, don't you know?" Su Nuannuan tilted her head and looked at her husband. It's impossible for Tanhualang not to know this allusion
Duan Tingxuan really doesn't know, but if it's just like this... He sighed, shook his head and said: "It's unlikely." Although he couldn't solve the mystery of this poem for the time being, he was sure that Long Pingzhang would not Leaving clues in Yuelu Mountain: "He has never been to Yuelu Mountain in his life, so how could he leave clues there?"
"Maybe it's not the clues he left, but he found out that there are some key people living in Yuelu Mountain?" Su Nuannuan put down the stone: "We need to diverge our thinking to look at the problem, understand? Don't stick to one place."
"What you said seems to make sense." Duan Tingxuan's face became serious: "Then I will tell Donglou to send two reliable people to Yuelu Mountain to investigate and see if there is such a key person. ?”
After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky outside, and murmured, "Where did Donglou go? It's time to come back, right? It's going to be dark today."
"It's none of our business whether it's dark or not? Anyway, we meet in the secret room, what are you in a hurry for?" Su Nuannuan stood up and stretched: "Okay, I should go to the kitchen to make dinner, there is something in the cupboard for you Snacks, let’s have some padding first. Let’s eat when I come back.”
After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, she walked out, and Duan Tingxuan was left here thinking hard about the white stone for a while, but she still couldn't understand it for a long time, so she had to hide the stone. Sure enough, after more than half an hour, Su Nuannuan came back, washed her face and went into the kitchen again. Two carp were fished out from the water tank and handled skillfully. Seeing the tofu here, the young master knew that his wife was going to make his favorite stewed fish with tofu, so he volunteered to cut the tofu. After cutting, he still did not forget to show his merits: "Look, my wife. Although I am not good at cooking, I am still qualified as a starter, right?"
"Well, it's okay." Without raising her head, Su Nuan pointed to the pit and said, "Today I'm stewing fish in a straw pot. Please help me, sir, and make a good fire for me."
"okay."
Little Hou Ye ran over. A fire was lit under the stove, and the third daughter-in-law Chang came back after a while, and seeing this scene, she couldn't help sighing: "What are they all? They do such a job. Even I can't blame it in my heart."
"What is there to bear? Actually, I think this is very good. I came back from a busy day outside, and my wife arranged for dinner. I helped and finished it together. Served the table, and while eating, I would talk about my parents, or Discussing and discussing human relations, although the life of these ordinary people is plain, it is warm and sweet."
Duan Tingxuan said with a smile, and when he finished speaking, Chang San's daughter-in-law gave Su Nuannuan a meaningful look, and said softly: "My lady is so lucky, if I didn't have you in my heart, my cousin would never be able to say such a thing. "
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law doesn't know him yet? He has a lot of people pretending in his heart, and I'm not the only one."
Duan Tingxuan was adding firewood to the stove, when he heard this, he quickly raised his hand and said: "This has wronged me, I didn't dare to say it before, but since... I'm really the only one left in my heart, saying that I am determined Not too much."
The third daughter-in-law of Chang said with a smile: "Sure enough, this is the truth. Otherwise, with the status and pride of my cousin, how can I say it so smoothly? It would be a joke."
"Loyalty is like one until death, what's so funny about it?" Duan Tingxuan said seriously with disapproval, and then sighed: "I only hate myself for understanding this truth too late, and I also hate that good fortune tricks people, making me... But it’s okay, I met her after all, understood this truth, tasted this taste, and God has treated me well.” The words I didn’t say were “Let me meet her so late”, for fear of causing frequent The third daughter-in-law suspected Su Nuannuan's identity as a dead body, so she swallowed it back.
Sure enough, Chang San's daughter-in-law said in a daze, "This sounds specious, why don't I understand?"
"He's talking nonsense, my sister-in-law doesn't care about it." Su Nuannuan was talking, seeing that Chang's third daughter-in-law was also washing vegetables and meat, she said: "What is my sister-in-law going to do? I stewed tofu fish, enough to eat."
"There are always two dishes on the dinner table. You stew the fish and I cook the meat. It's no trouble." After speaking, he took out the washed meat and showed it to Su Nuannuan, and said with a smile, "Look, I'll buy it in the market today. The pork belly is so good, it’s best eaten while it’s burning.”
Before the words finished, Chang San also came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he yelled: "Hurry up, hurry up, I finally got back, I'm very hungry, hurry up and get some food."
The third daughter-in-law Chang said: "As soon as I entered the door, I yelled to eat. Do you think I am a fairy? Why do you have to wait a while? I am cooking meat. This is the most time-consuming. Fortunately, the stewed fish is almost ready, otherwise you Just take a bite of pad pad first?"
Su Nuannuan knew that Chang San didn't like fish, so she quickly said: "Forget it, sister-in-law, don't burn meat, I'll make a small country stir-fry, and then stir-fry the leftover rice at noon, let's pack up and eat."
"Forget it, brother and sister's country stir-fry must be delicious, so I'll try it." After all, Chang San's daughter-in-law felt sorry for her husband, and readily agreed. Here, Duan Tingxuan went to ask Su Donglou if he came back. Chang Sandao: "When I came back, I asked the doorman and said that I haven't come back yet, but I don't know what's delayed outside. I'm about to leave for Jinling. I think there must be some orders from the King of Xiangyang."
While talking, Su Nuannuan fried a dish with tender garlic sprouts, pork belly and carrots, and the leftover fungus shreds from yesterday, and then fried the rice left over at noon with eggs. At this time, the grass pot fish also After the stew was finished, Chang San also came to help, brought the food to the table, and the four of them sat around in a circle. Chang San praised while eating, and exchanged cups with Duan Tingxuan. My sister-in-law really has a good taste, I usually don't want to drink this old flower carving, but now I'm almost done."
Chang San's daughter-in-law scolded with a smile: "Don't you say that you are greedy, what does it have to do with the meals made by your siblings?"
Chang San said seriously: "Of course it's because the food made by my younger siblings tastes good. If you don't drink two cups, wouldn't you let down the good food? The meals you cook on weekdays are not good enough for me to open this Huadiao..."
Before finishing speaking, Duan Tingxuan said with a smile: "My cousin will get drunk after a few sips of wine, sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense." After finishing speaking, he knocked on the side of the bowl with chopsticks, and said to Chang San with a half-smile: "My cousin You have to think twice about what you say, we can't live with you forever after all."
One sentence made Chang San come to his senses, and laughed: "Well... Actually your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is not bad, but she's not as good as her siblings. In this respect, I don't think there are many people who can match her, so don't be upset, hehe ... Hehehe..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched twice by his wife. They chatted and laughed and finished their meal. Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan returned to the bedroom. Before they could sit down, they heard the bell ringing at the corner of the bed.
Duan Tingxuan said with a smile: "It seems that Donglou is back, maybe there is something wrong, he is still in a hurry, just in time, take the stone over and show him." After speaking, he took out the white stone, and went to the secret room with Su Nuannuan .
I saw that Su Donglou, who usually sat and ate snacks calmly, paced uncharacteristically this time, like ants on a hot pot. When he saw the two of them, he hurriedly greeted them and said, "This is terrible, the King of Xiangyang personally Open your mouth, what should I do if you want me to send my sister-in-law to the small kitchen of the palace to be a cook? What can I do?"
"Speak slowly, what's going on? King Xiangyang opened his mouth? Then Lu Fengyu really persuaded him? How is it possible? Didn't it mean that he no longer doubted it?"
Duan Tingxuan was very surprised, but saw Su Donglou anxiously said: "I am also surprised, after thinking about it, there are only two possibilities: one is that Lu Fengyu is cautious, and he still wants to test it out, and the king of Xiangyang is a suspicious person. He has no reason not to allow his confidants to test for him; secondly, they have no doubts about your identities at all, but just so, Lu Fengyu, who is as delicious as his life, wants to use his wife to satisfy his desire for tongue and tongue It was also my carelessness. I only thought that the prince always wanted to be shameless, but he forgot that the guy could give up his life for food. If he kept lobbying, the prince would not be able to resist. But now... how can we do this?"
"Actually, it's more about testing." Duan Tingxuan sighed, and said angrily, "Since King Xiangyang has spoken in person, then... there is no way out, so Nuannuan and I have to go there in person."
"No, I can't let Mrs. Sister-in-law take risks. If it's really not possible, I'll send you two away." Su Donglou said decisively: "I complained in front of the lord, but I haven't let go. Anyway, it's a big deal, so I'll just be self-willed. There is no reason why Lu Fengyu is always capricious."
"That won't work. How can you be self-willed just because of a cook? You are not a foodie like Lu Fengyu. If Nuannuan and I leave, the arrangement of the previous two years will be in vain, and your tolerance and grievances for more than a year will be useless." It's worthless."
Duan Tingxuan said in a deep voice, then turned his head to look at Su Nuannuan, but seeing his wife's face full of excitement, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You, you only think about the excitement of this matter, but you don't know the dangers involved, that's the palace of the prince."
Su Donglou also said seriously: "Yes, Mrs. Sister..."
After only five words, she was interrupted by Su Nuannuan, who only heard her say: "It's useless for you to be anxious here. There are only two ways to go now, retreat or not. Retreat, everything before It’s all in vain, the price is too miserable, and you obviously can’t afford it, so the only option is not to refund. Since there is no refund, what we should think about now is how to maximize our own safety, instead of just emphasizing the danger here. It’s man-made, Donglou, you are the leader of the entire southern six provinces. Mingyulou is full of masters, and your force value cannot be underestimated; Duan Tingxuan, you also said that the King of Xiangyang does not have many government soldiers to mobilize except for the guards of the palace. In this way, The comparison between the two forces, the worst is evenly matched, right? Even if it is finally exposed, we are still sure of self-protection, right? At that point, it is nothing more than the exposure of Donglou's identity, which is better than the two of us running away now Right? If the two of us escaped, the east building is almost exposed, isn’t that the reason?”
