Chapter 29
She didn't even look at Lu Shangxuan and sat directly next to Fu Qing.
"Mother, please have some tea."
Fu Qing brought a cup of scented tea at a suitable temperature to Dou Lianyi, while Brother Dong turned a blind eye and ate cakes by himself.
"it is good."
Dou Lianyi smiled slightly and reached out to take it, but she didn't care about Brother Dong's attitude.
"Lian Niang, you are here."
Seeing that he was being ignored, Lu Shangxuan's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he deliberately stepped forward and raised his voice to attract her attention.
As the hem of his clothes swung, a strong scent of ambergris hit his nostrils, mixed with a few faint scents of powder, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.
Dou Lianyi frowned slightly and subconsciously stepped back. At the same time, doubts suddenly arose in her heart.
The smell of this powder seems familiar, as if I smelled it somewhere not long ago.
"Let's see if today's meal is to your liking. If you don't like it, I'll ask the servants to leave it and make it again."
Lu Shangxuan was not aware of Dou Lianyi's disgust for him at this time. He just sat on the other side of Dou Lianyi, showed a smile that he thought was charming, and said in a low tone.
"Fu Qing, do you like the dishes Master Lu arranged today?"
However, after Dou Lianyi glanced at the dishes on the table, she turned her head and asked Fu Qing thoughtfully.
Fu Qing was startled, but then he immediately realized what he was doing. He stood up and responded politely, "If I go back to my mother, the meal prepared by the young master is very rich, and my son likes it very much."
The next second, he changed the topic and continued to speak with a somewhat troubled look: "It's just that I remember that mother, you have always liked sweets, but today's lunch is mostly salty and spicy. I wonder if it's because of mother's closeness." There are taboos.”
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Shangxuan's face suddenly froze.
Dou Lianyi turned her eyes to look at Lu Shangxuan with a half-smile, and said softly: "I still remember that my sister-in-law likes to eat salty and spicy food, and every meal is spicy. Her husband even praised her for being particularly pitiful when the sweat dripped from her forehead. , comparable to Xizi."
It is absolutely impossible for Lu Shangxuan to mention this kind of sweet talk between his best friends, let alone to Dou Lianyi, so as soon as he finished speaking, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't even maintain his smile.
"Lian Niang, what are you talking about? How could I say such things to Lian'er? It must be some blind servant talking nonsense in front of you. If I know who ruined the relationship between us husband and wife, I will definitely drive him out of the county palace!"
Lu Shangxuan glanced at the servants waiting in Ju Pavilion with a threatening look, and finally his eyes fell on Fu Qing's young face, and pointedly said: "I didn't expect Fu Qing to be so fond of your mother. In comparison, I look careless."
After all, he was a military attache who had fought hard on the battlefield. The intimidation in Lu Shangxuan's eyes immediately made the still young Fu Qing stare at him, unable to move.
His little hands were clenched into small fists under the table, and he only hated himself for not being strong enough.
At this moment, a hand gently covered him, Dou Lianyi lowered her eyes and looked at him tenderly, and her voice sounded: "Fu Qing is the child I personally recognized. I am very happy that he cares about me."
"Haha, Lian Niang, you can be happy," Lu Shangxuan had no choice but to retract his gaze, and then pointed at Brother Dong who was busy eating and said, "But Niang Lian, don't be too partial. After all, Brother Dong is also your child."
"What your husband said is true, and Lian Niang will take it to heart."
The corners of Dou Lianyi's mouth raised slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Seeing Dou Lianyi being so obedient, Lu Shangxuan felt a little better, "Eat, the dishes are cold." Looking at a table of red, spicy, and oily dishes, Dou Lianyi felt a little nauseous. She didn't like eating them. It was too heavy, so I could only use my chopsticks to pick up some vegetables and put them into the bowl.
On the contrary, Lu Shangxuan and Brother Dong enjoyed the meal very much, and even called the servants to ask the kitchen to prepare more portions.
Fu Qing couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up unhappily and said, "Mother, Master Lu, I have to go away for a while and I'll be back soon."
Dou Lianyi nodded, but Lu Shangxuan didn't even raise his head and turned a deaf ear.
Soon after, the servants brought spicy chicken, spicy pork ribs, and double pepper elbows one by one. Suddenly, the entire Ju Pavilion was filled with an unacceptable pungent smell.
"Husband, you and Brother Dong can just have a meal. I'm full."
Seeing that Fu Qing hadn't come back for a long time, Dou Lianyi had no interest in staying any longer. She put down her chopsticks, spoke in a calm tone and prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait a minute, Lian Niang, you are dressed so beautifully today. If you don't have lunch with me, my husband, where are you going?"
Lu Shangxuan immediately grabbed Dou Lianyi's wrist, and it felt as smooth as suet jade, which made him even more reluctant to let go.
"let go!"
Being touched like this by Lu Shangxuan, Dou Lianyi felt awkward all over. She pulled out hard, but she didn't expect that she couldn't pull out for a while.
"Lian Niang, what are you doing? Are you still angry about Lian'er and me? I've already explained it to you, so please stop being so petty, okay?"
While Lu Shangxuan pretended to persuade, he couldn't help but forcefully pulled Dou Lianyi into his arms.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, and Dou Lianyi was even thinking about breaking up, Fu Qing's voice rang out in time.
"Mom, I went to find some desserts and bring them to you, as well as some lighter dishes. Please take a few bites to avoid starving yourself."
Hearing this, Dou Lianyi turned around and looked over, just in time to see Fu Qing running over, followed by several maids, all carrying dishes in their hands.
Lu Shangxuan sneered and had to let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "That's why you ran out because of this. Fu Qing, you are still young, so you can't learn those flattering ways."
"Husband, I think Fu Qing is very good like this. He is much smarter and smarter than Brother Dong who has to work hard. What do you think?"
This time Dou Lianyi couldn't bear it any longer. She rubbed her red wrist and slapped him back unceremoniously.
At the same time, all the sweets were placed in front of Dou Lianyi one by one, all of which were her favorite flavors in the past.
Especially one of the desserts, which was cute and pink in color and looked crystal clear, was the most attractive, and Dou Lianyi was immediately curious.
"What is this, I seem to have never seen it before."
"To tell you the truth, Madam, this is peony jelly, which is made from the juice of peony flowers. It tastes sweet and delicious, with an endless aftertaste. Madam will definitely like it."
A maid with her head lowered and whose face could not be seen clearly walked forward a few steps and said in a hoarse voice.
Dou Lianyi frowned and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with your voice?"
