Chapter 93 Chicken Stewed with Chestnuts
Duan Yi raised her eyebrows, "Be prepared."

She said, looked Cui Zigeng up and down, and said suspiciously, "But you reminded me, you don't want to go to Wuping Mountain before me, do you? Tsk tsk..."

Cui Zi was even more embarrassing, he gritted his teeth and said, "We are from the same school, now we are not enemies. I made a slip of the tongue earlier."

Duan Yi smiled and sat down in front of the stone bench.

Zhilu Tongzhiqiao had already torn down the barbecue and so on, and when they came back, they brought a brazier and hot tea.

Now that the time has passed, the moonlight shines on the tombstones lined up, making it look extraordinarily eerie.

"It's because the master came from the same sect that you can't be trusted! But I'm not worried, not to mention that you don't know where Wuping Mountain is, but if you know it, it's like a meat bun beating a dog, and you never return."

Duan Yi said, pretending to suddenly realize, "That's not right! You are not meat buns, you are iron buns! Then there should be scum left, after all, dogs are also very picky. If it can speak human, I will definitely say that this is some kind of dog food that is hard to swallow!"

Cui Zigeng's mouth twitched, feeling annoyed.

He walked all the way thinking about things, and unconsciously followed Duan Yi out of the city and up the mountain, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.

Wanting to change the subject, but said something that shouldn't be said, causing the two of them to become suspicious, it's really out of standard!
As he thought about it, he glanced at the chestnuts Duan Yi put on the table, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to pat the pile of chestnuts.

Duan Yi only heard a few clicks, and one by one the chestnuts, as if they had heard the funniest joke, all grinned, revealing their yellow flesh.

Duan Yi stood up in shock, "You met an old ghost tonight, not bumped into a ghost!"

"Who eats chestnuts in the middle of the night, why did you split my chestnuts? They won't be fresh until tomorrow!"

A gust of wind blew by, Zhilu behind Duan Yi couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Cui Zi came back to his senses, cleared his throat, got up and said goodbye.

He glanced at the chestnut that seemed to be mocking him, stretched out his hand to grab it, and picked up a bag of chestnuts, "I'll take it back and make you stewed chicken with chestnuts. From now on, let's cook it on a low heat. It's just right for you to drink when you wake up tomorrow morning." .”

As he spoke, he carried the bag of chestnuts and went down the mountain with lightning speed.

Duan Yi looked at his back and shook her head speechlessly, "These days, even chestnuts are being robbed."

……

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Duan Yi took the carriage and went back to the Duan family's ancestral house.

Today is the day for Duan Xian to return home.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a military man with a knife, a big and three rough, holding a crock pot in his hand, looking around in the alley, saw Duan Yi, and ran over in a hurry.

He looked Duan Yi up and down, and said treacherously, "Our general asked me to bring it, and the girl drinks it while it's hot. Our general didn't sleep all night last night, so he squatted on the kitchen to make soup for the girl! "

He said, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Our general is superb in martial arts, and he can cook well. He has been alone all the time, let alone wives and concubines, and there is not even a servant girl around him."

"Even the sparrows with a radius of [-] miles, our brothers are not allowed to have a female. General, that is really cleaner than the moon in the sky! Don't look at him as cold, but he is actually a very kind-hearted person! The rumors outside are all false of!"

Without waiting for Duan Yi to speak, knowing the way at the side, immediately took the earthen jar from the hand of the military master.

"If you talk nonsense, I'll beat you out, or the chestnuts here belong to our family, which one is too rare to drink your soup!"

She said, pushing Duan Yi to enter the gate of Duan's house.

Duan Yi looked funny, turned around, and smiled at the military master, "Your general is so clean, can you put it in the steamer directly? The steamed buns are not like the moon!"

The military master watched, slapped himself on the mouth three times, and ran away with a sad face.

This was the one hundred and eighth time he sold his general to a little girl by force. Not only did he fail to sell, but he even lost a can of soup.

"Are there any guests at home? I saw a carriage parked in front of the door, it doesn't look like our house."

Duan Yi put away her smile, turned around, looked at the porter and asked.

The person on duty today is the old servant who used to guard the old house of Duan's family, and he talked to Duan Yi very kindly, "San Niang, Mrs. Wang is here to propose marriage to Miss Si. Early in the morning, just after dawn, the matchmaker arrived with the dowry."

He said, lowering his voice, "Prince Wang didn't come."

Duan Yi frowned, walked towards the main courtyard without saying anything.

Zhilu glanced at it, and hurriedly handed the chicken soup in his hand to Zhiqiao, motioning for her to take it back first, and followed Duan Yi one step at a time, "Miss, I didn't expect that Miss Jing was engaged, and Miss Xian met on the same day."

"I heard that the old lady wanted to record Miss Jing under the name of the lady, and the lady agreed. The princes and princes don't come here, so they don't pay much attention to it."

Duan Yi didn't answer, she quickened her pace, and when she reached the gate of the main courtyard, across the large courtyard, she heard laughter like thunder from inside, the laughter of others was silver bell-like laughter, this Laughter, like a barbell falling to the ground...

"Master Xiang, old madam, the third girl is back." The woman who opened the curtain in front of the door saw Duan Yi enter, and lifted the curtain while preaching.

Duan Yi walked in, the room was full of people.

Old Mrs. Duan looked down, and sat a fresh-faced woman wearing a bright red dress and heavy makeup. Her hair was combed high, and she had a pair of hanging eyes. big white teeth.

Below her, sat a young gentleman about seventeen or eighteen years old.

That young gentleman was born with mischievous eyebrows, as soon as he saw Duan Yi, his eyes glued together, and he looked up and down at her.

Duan Yi bowed to the elder, and said with a smile, "Last night, when I was passing through the mountains and forests, I came across a tree of good chestnuts. Yi picked one out of curiosity, reached out and pulled out the chestnuts inside. Father, guess how big it is?"

Duan Sixian who was called looked up blankly, "One more... How big is one?"

Duan Yi raised her hand and pointed to the young gentleman's eyes, "It's similar to his eyes. I stretched out my hand and picked them out immediately. Fresh chestnuts still have moisture, thanks to the water. It's not red, otherwise I thought I'd picked out someone's eyeball."

The little man was startled, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

He hurriedly turned his head away, rolled his eyeballs, saw that he was still there, he was relieved, and never dared to look directly at Duan Yi again.

The madam who was still laughing before, her smile was a little less, "This is Miss Duan San, right? I am also surnamed Gu, and I am somewhat related to your grandfather. The old lady is really lucky, she was born five A good granddaughter like flowers and jade."

Duan Yi nodded at her, found an empty seat, and sat down.
