Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 219 Why do I want them to think highly of me? (two more)

Sour vinegar fish, a bowl of egg custard, and a small bowl of black rice.

It's not rich, but the dishes are exquisite and beautiful, and the taste is good.

Today, I didn't eat anything at Bai's house, and I took a nap after I came back. I am really hungry now.She was eating like an infinitely close to Shen Luoxin, after eating half a bowl of rice, she bit her chopsticks and asked Gucuo, "Have you eaten?"

"Yeah." Gucuo replied, "Mom Qian is probably really embarrassed, and prepared dinner for all of us, and each of them still likes to eat. In this short period of time, we have figured out everyone's taste. , but also carefully."

"Yeah, it's really hard work." Ji Wuyan bit her chopsticks and nodded slowly, thinking about the gossip she heard before, "I heard that Madam Qian's son has been studying abroad all these years and only came back during the holidays. I heard that she hasn't been back for almost two years. You have someone tell her tomorrow that you don't need to come back in a hurry and spend time with your son."

"Success." Gu Cuo nodded, seeing that Ji Wuyan had served the sour vinegar fish and ate it bit by bit, he pointed to the half bowl of egg custard left beside him, "Don't you want to eat?"

"Well. It's too late, I'm afraid of food accumulation."

The night is dark, the breeze is blowing, the girl's hair on the sideburns is gently brushing her face, her face without a veil, in the light and darkness of the candlelight, is so beautiful that it makes people tremble.She raised her fingertips slightly, trying to push the sideburns behind her ears, but Kankan's raised fingertips turned in a different direction and passed the egg custard.

Gucuo took a sip from the spoon that Ji Wuyan had eaten, and sipped it slowly, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure at the door, it was Ruoshui.

Putting down the egg custard in his hand, he was about to speak to remind Ji Wuyan, whose back was facing the door, when he suddenly remembered how the man had covered her face with a handkerchief, his eyes flickered, and he handed over his handkerchief , "If the water comes."

The words were as usual, only the fingertips under the veil trembled a little, and the heartbeat in my chest seemed to be in my ears, as strong as a drum, and my chest felt a dull pain.

The girl on the opposite side looked ordinary, she put down her chopsticks and took it, lowered her head and straightened her hair to cover her face, and turned her head to greet Ruoshui as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, Gu Cuo felt that he should be happy, at least, Ning Xiuyuan was not special to this girl.But it seems that she is not so happy... The little girl looks smart, but she is not so smart in the defense of men and women. People with a discerning eye can see her thoughts, but she is always as dull as a blind person... Feeling depressed, the old house is low He took a big mouthful of egg custard, feeling a little angry.

"How about dinner?" Ruoshui walked over with a grin, and sat down beside Ji Wuyan. A yellowed piano score was handed over to Ji Wuyan, "Here. Here it is, today's thank you gift. The word 'thank you' is too light, so I won't say much. It was left by my grandfather's family at that time. You He is the closed disciple of Mr. Jiang, so there will be no shortage of good things, but this is also a little bit of my heart, so please accept it."

Ruoshui is a little different from before, there is less pretended enthusiasm in the smile, but it is a bit more open-minded and open-minded.

The piano score is yellow, and the corners of the page are curled. It must have been read for a long time.Ji Wuyan shook his head, "It has a different meaning to you." Just like Fuxiqin, other people only think it is a famous piano or Guqin, which is a foil for financial power, but for Ruoshui, it is the only yearning in his blood.

Ruoshui insisted, "Keep it away. I have read and transcribed all the piano scores in it. Over the years, I have been inspired by it, and there have been some flashes of inspiration... I don't know." Whether it still helps you, if it can, it will be the best."

"Although I have never advertised that the qin in my hand is a Fuxi qin, I have never deliberately concealed it. There are many capable people and strange people in Yanjing City, and there are not a few who can see it." Ruoshui lowered his head and sighed softly, and his fingertips eased from the book cover. Swipe slowly, then push it in front of Ji Wuyan, sighed again, but seemed to be relieved, looked at the other party with a chuckle, "The ladies present today, there are a few who know that I have a Fuxiqin. But no one Stand up for me... I don't complain, and I even understand it very well. Before rights, self-protection is always the first choice... But it is because I understand that it becomes clearer that you don't have to help me so far in this matter. .”

As he said, he continued to insist, "You keep this piano score, so that I won't feel that I owe you a lot."

Now that the words came to this point, Ji Wuyan didn't refuse any more, she took it and put it aside, "OK, then I'll take it. Such a treasure...thank you."

Ji Wuyan said it was a treasure, but Ruoshui was somewhat self-aware.Although this is indeed a "treasure" that I can get my hands on, this thing is really ordinary in front of Ji Wuyan.

Ruoshui held his chin to look at Ji Wuyan. After knowing Ji Wuyan's identity, he always felt that there was a kind of casualness and indifference in this woman, which was incompatible with this place.Jiang Lao's closed disciple, holding Jiaowei... Behind such a halo, there is another... Tianxin, no matter which one of them is taken out, it is enough to shake the city of Yanjing, but she doesn't seem to care at all. Those people called her "country country girl" one by one.

"Wuyan..." Ruoshui suddenly became curious, "Since you are a disciple of Mr. Jiang, why didn't you say it? If you did, they would never look down on you!"

Ji Wuyan was burying his head in eating fish, when he looked up, he seemed a little surprised, his eyes rounded a little, and then he reacted and smiled.Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, he wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled lazily, "Why do I want them to think highly of me?"

The sour vinegar fish only had a pair of fish bones left.

The little princess of the Ji family loves to eat fish, she can eat any kind of fish, and since she was a child, she didn't have to be picky and wait around, so all her patience was probably devoted to eating fish.

When she said that, her brows were slightly raised, her eyes were cold and harsh, and there was a kind of incomparable pride gradually revealed from the bottom of her eyes.

Ruoshui was startled, and he couldn't believe it even more, such a girl really came from the countryside... That pride is like something in the blood, even standing in front of the royal family, she will not be inferior pride.

"Girl." Ziqiu came in with a medicine bowl, looked at the leftovers on the table, and frowned slightly, "It's too late for you to eat dinner. The servant told the ancient house to wake you up, and he indulged For you...you have to wait for half an hour to drink this medicine, so I'd better warm it up on the small stove."

Ji Wuyan chuckled, and said, "Okay... I'll trouble Miss Ziqiu." There was a bit of flattery in her words, like a spoiled child.

Ziqiu shook his head and went out again.
