Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 77
Of course, Wen Shu, who was immersed in delicious food, didn't know all of this. When she finished eating the pancakes and trowel, and even drank the wonton juice, she raised her head to look at it with satisfaction and sigh. I took a late look at Lu Xing.

It just so happened that Lu Xingwan also looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air, Miss Lu suddenly smiled and said: "Young lady is full, if not, I have some here."

"I'm full, I'm full, girl, eat more." Wen Shu smiled awkwardly.

All the coachmen and servants beside him laughed when they saw this.

After lunch, the convoy set off again. Lu Xingwan had just eaten a little stuffed. As soon as he got into the car, he leaned against Nanny Chen's arms and asked her to help rub his belly. Let her read it.

There is nothing better than reading a book, it is better than racking your brains to find a topic in embarrassment, Wen Shu accepted it obediently, and began to read the story book with emotion and intonation.

Her voice is clear and crisp, and she uses different tones and expressions to match the emotions of the characters in the book. Not to mention, she really has the posture of a storyteller.

It's just that she's not a serious storyteller after all, and she still can't grasp some sense of propriety. The words are obviously sensational, but after her expression cooperates, she actually shows a sense of joy.

Lu Xingwan was amused by her weird expression from time to time, but after laughing, his stomach became more uncomfortable, and he called "Ouch, Ouch" to continue rubbing for her.

It's rare for Nanny Chen to see her so happy, and she didn't stop her immediately.

In this way, Wen Shu was reading the story book, Lu Xingwan was half leaning in the carriage, sometimes twisting two pieces of snacks to eat by himself, and sometimes handing Wen Shu a cup of tea to moisten her throat, the whole afternoon passed quickly .

When it was dark, the convoy wiped the last ray of light from the sky and drove into Gulou County, the nearest city to the closed city.

After entering the city, the steward who made arrangements for the itinerary booked a medium-sized inn lavishly as before. The inn is not big, and there are only three upper rooms, five guest rooms, and two common shops.

When arranging the room, Mother Chen was about to arrange for Yinhong to be on duty, Wen Shu jumped out first, and asked that she would be on duty, and she would share a room with the eldest girl.

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention Nanny Chen was stunned, even Yinhong and Luliu looked at her in astonishment, thinking that they had only been here for two days and began to compete for favor.

If Wen Shu knew what they were thinking, she would have laughed three times, she would have to fight for favor, she wished she could sleep alone, so that she could go into the iron box for a stroll, now under the eyes of the eldest girl, she could do nothing I dare not do it, I don't know how aggrieved it is.

Nanny Chen was only stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, thinking that since she was specially sent by the eldest son to protect the girl, it would make sense for her to sleep in the same room, so she let Yinhong and Lvliu share the room with her.

The remaining one upper room was given to Guanshi Liu who was planning the itinerary. There were only three upper rooms in the inn. shop.

Wen Shu put her baggage on the soft couch in Lu Xingwan's room. This is unique to the upper room, and it is for the convenience of those guests who go out with maids.

Yinhong and Luliu were making the bed for Miss Lu, but Wen Shu didn't go over to her. She just sorted out her own things and took out the things needed for washing.

Lu Xingwan sat at his desk and wrote letters.

After a while, Mrs. Wang came in with two maids carrying food, but this time it was three dishes and one soup.

Lu Xingwan handed the written letter to Yinhong, and asked her to find a servant to take it to the post station, and then asked them to go down for dinner.

Wen Shu heard the words and stood still. She remembered the words of not leaving her body for a moment, and dared not walk away casually. If something happened to Miss Lu during this gap, her mission would be ruined.

So when Lu Xingwan looked over, she smiled and said: "Sister Yinhong and the others have all gone down to eat, there is no one around the girl, so I will stay here with the girl, and when sister Yinhong and the others come back, I will eat again .”

Lu Xingwan sneered, "What are you waiting for, just sit down and eat with me."

"This..." Wen Shu was a little hesitant. Although she was a fake maid, she always ate at the same table with the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, and she felt somewhat awkward.

After all, the other party is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she is a market girl, and she can't stop easily when she encounters delicious food. She will definitely not look good when she eats, and she will have to get along with Miss Lu for a while, so she doesn't want to be hated now.

When Lu Xingwan saw her hesitate, he knew what she was thinking, and said in a gentle voice: "Little lady, don't be cautious, just let go and eat. Seeing that the little lady eats deliciously, my appetite can also improve a lot, so just be a little lady." Pity me, a person who can't eat, let me eat more."

Wen Shu didn't expect her to say such a thing. After being stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on her face, and then she sat down opposite Lu Xingwan, and said cheerfully, "If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." .”

"Obey, obey." Lu Xingwan also laughed.

Wen Shu glanced at the mini servings of three dishes and one soup and a small plate of white rice cakes on the table, coughed lightly and said, "Well, can you ask me to serve some rice, or else just these dishes."

Although the words were not finished, Lu Xingwan quickly understood. She called out, and immediately a guy knocked on the door, asking if she needed anything.

Wen Shu spoke on her behalf, and the man responded, and within a moment, he came in with a small wooden bucket full of rice.

Taking over the wooden barrel, Wen Shu smiled and filled a bowl for Lu Xingwan first. The small three-inch bowl was filled so full by her that it almost overflowed.

Lu Xingwan stared blankly, with some hesitation on his face.

She has never eaten so much rice since she grew up. She ate half a bowl at most when she was at home. Even if she had a big appetite at noon, she only ate half a bowl of Wucai soup more than usual. She had never eaten so much rice.

After Wen Shu finished filling it for her, she poured another bowl for herself, and the rice in her bowl was also packed tightly. Seeing that Lu Xingwan was sitting still, she couldn't help but greeted her, "Why don't you eat it, Miss, Chef Wang Mother is such a good handicraft, I want to swallow my tongue every time."

Hearing what she said was funny, Lu Xingwan couldn't help picking up the chopsticks at hand, thinking, eat first, even if you can't eat in the end, there are only some leftovers.

Seeing her carrying the chopsticks, Wen Shu over there was not far behind, and quickly picked up the chopsticks. When Miss Lu's chopsticks were inserted into a plate of green leafy vegetables, the chopsticks quickly carried a piece of steamed fish on the side plate and put it into her mouth. Then he sighed, "It's fragrant and smooth, delicious!"

Seeing this, Lu Xingwan paused with his chopsticks, glanced at the plate of braised yellow catfish suspiciously, and thought: Is it so delicious?
She often eats this fish at home, but she doesn't think it's so delicious!
Thinking of this in his mind, the hand holding the chopsticks turned involuntarily and stretched towards the fish plate.

Wen Shu saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

From these two days of contact, she has already discovered a problem, that is, this girl from Lu doesn't seem to like meat food very much. There is no shortage of meat.

Wen Shu thought about it, maybe it's not because of her illness that she can't eat more, but because Miss Lu has a bad appetite, so she's not very interested in meat.

But how can someone not eat meat for a long time, especially Miss Lu who is so weak and sick, so she deliberately exaggerated her performance just now, just to arouse Miss Lu's curiosity, so that she can take the initiative to start with meat-like things.

Sure enough, her method worked, Miss Lu really turned her attention to the fish.
