food color and fragrance

Chapter 106
After Fang Qingyuan gave Zhong Xingyan the emergency call letter sent by the Ministry of War, Zhong Xingyan left the county office. Fang Qingyuan immediately summoned people to prepare horses, and sent Zhong Xingyan off early tomorrow morning.

Walking in the street in a daze, Zhong Xingyan's heart was a little complicated. This incident happened very suddenly. He had just been attacked and murdered by fourteen dead men, and then news of his father came.

If the army moves in the northwest, can he suppress it?
That is the key to survival. If the military power in the Northwest falls into the hands of others, the name of General Huaiyuan will be completely lost, and the Zhong family will also decline. Could it be Yu Wenhou's method?Zhong Xingyan shook his head. Although Yuwenhou's family is always his opponent, it is still possible to send someone to assassinate him. They don't have the guts to attack the Northwest Army.

Zhong Xingyan walked and thought, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he walked to the door of Yang's house in a daze, and seeing the woodware shop delivering the plaque he and Fang Jingzhi ordered, he couldn't help but think of that little girl Yang Huailiu.

I don't know if she recovered from being scared that time?

Zhong Xingyan walked into Yang's house after thinking about it, Fanyin was sitting cross-legged in his own room.

These days, she only felt tired and restless, so she simply found out the futon and scriptures, and read and meditated for two hours every day.My father also said that if you can't find a solution, you might as well read more books. Fanyin found this method to get rid of the nightmares that often appear in his mind.

In the past few days, she has been able to calm herself down, at least she will no longer be suddenly irritable, and she will not be afraid of round objects, but she will not kill chickens, ducks and fish with her own hands. She can cook, which is already a big improvement.

Qing Miao was startled by Zhong Xingyan's sudden arrival.

My young lady just calmed down a bit, but don't get irritable and angry again because Mr. Zhong came suddenly, but she is just a maid, can she stop it?
Qing Miao stepped forward while thinking, Zhong Xingyan looked at her and said, "Where's Yang Huailiu?"

"Miss is in the backyard." After Qing Miao finished speaking, she hastily added: "I'm meditating in the backyard, Mr. Zhong should not disturb you."

"Okay, you don't need to worry about it." Zhong Xingyan waved his hand, and strode towards the backyard in a swift stride.

Qing Miao hurriedly trot forward in a daze, "Master Zhong, it's not suitable for you to go there..."

"As long as you people have complicated thoughts, I can still eat her." Zhong Xingyan sternly shouted, and walked faster, Qing Miao had a bitter face, is it their complicated thoughts?Why don't you say that he doesn't understand the rules at all!

Zhong Xingyan's footsteps made Qing Miao unable to catch up with her while running. Fanyin was sitting on the futon and quietly reading the scriptures. She heard Zhong Xingyan's voice, but there was no trace of anger or violent emotion in her heart. Even the trace of vindictive disgust before was gone.

Zhong Xingyan stepped into the door and saw Fanyin looking at her. Zhong Xingyan was a little surprised to see her treat each other so calmly for the first time.

Qing Miao panted and chased in from behind, "Miss, I can't stop him."

"Okay, go get busy first and see if the person hanging the plaque at the door has left. That's the facade of our Yang family. Caiyun is young, so don't let people fool you. Go and see if the plaque is upright. Don't make any mistakes." Mistake." Sanskrit sent Qing Miao away, Qing Miao was a little hesitant, but seeing her young lady's attitude was affirmative, she had no choice but to go down first.

Zhong Xingyan looked at her for a long time, the fear of that day was gone in those big eyes, his playful short hair, and his round face were filled with a calmness that didn't match her age.

This is the first time I saw her so quiet, because every time I saw her, she was either furious or tit for tat...

"Are you recovered?" Zhong Xingyan looked down at her carefully, but there was nothing unusual except that his face was a little gray.

Fanyin only nodded, "Young Master Zhong, please wait in the front yard for a while." Saying that, Fanyin left the house first, and went directly to the kitchen in the side yard.

Zhong Xingyan frowned slightly, and went along alone.

When Sanskrit went to the big kitchen, the fire started, picking vegetables, cutting flowers, and cooking. Zhong Xingyanyi watched quietly outside the door, feeling even more surprised, because he could see that Sanskrit did exactly what he did in Fuling. The vegetarian crab noodles and braised duck meat that Si stole had eaten, as well as a vegetarian vegetarian dish with vegetarian meat, were also put into the pot one after another.

Qingmiao and Caiyun also came here to help after hanging up the plaque, set up the table, put away the bowls and chopsticks, and served vegetarian dishes one after another. Sanskrit made a total of six dishes, and each dish was served in a pot.

Zhong Xingyan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Fanyin, who pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Eat, this is the vegetarian meal that Mr. Zhong has always wanted to eat, and there are only these things at home, so I can't do anything more. A lot of food, after eating, you walk your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, we don't owe each other, it's best not to contact each other forever, please take it easy."

Fanyin put the served rice in front of Zhong Xingyan, and told Qing Miao to wait here, and she turned around and left.

Zhong Xingyan couldn't help laughing looking at a table of steaming dishes, but it's a pity that this smile didn't have the carefree and unrestrained nature of the early days, but was mixed with a little bleakness of unknown meaning.

"Okay! Yang Huailiu, you have the guts!" Zhong Xingyan picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat in big mouthfuls, praising it a few times while eating.

Qing Miao grinned as she watched from the sidelines, the amount of dishes on this table was enough for the three of them to eat for three days, and he actually wanted to eat all the soup without any soup left?

How can the stomach hold so many things?Where did you eat it all?

Zhong Xingyan ate very quickly. Although the amount of these dishes made it difficult for him to finish them all, Zhong Xingyan insisted on stuffing them into his mouth!
"Fragrant! Young Master has never eaten such a delicious vegetable dish, this life is enough!"

"My lord, do you want my servant to pour some water for you?" Qing Miao saw that he was choking a little panicked, Zhong Xingyan shook his head, "If you don't drink it, how can you dilute the delicious taste of this table? Isn't that bad? Your lady's craftsmanship."

Qing Miao almost bit her tongue, turned sideways to take a peek.

This young man is really sick...

After eating and wiping it all up, Zhong Xingyan didn't even have a drop of vegetable soup left, and drank all of it into his mouth.Picking up the handkerchief beside him and wiping his mouth, he was already too stretched to walk.

Qing Miao wanted to go forward to support her, but Zhong Xingyan pushed her away, "No need, young master, I will go by myself."

Just about to go out, just in time for Yang Zhiyuan to come back from outside, when he looked up, he saw Zhong Xingyan coming out of his house with his belly outstretched, his face couldn't help but twitched a few times.

Today, Yang Zhiyuan also heard Fang County Magistrate talk about General Huaiyuan's serious illness. This is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the Zhong family!

He wanted to say something to Zhong Xingyan, but Yang Zhiyuan thought about it for a long time but didn't know how to say it. Zhong Xingyan also saw his hesitation, but smiled and said: "You don't need to say too much, Mr. Yang, although I, Zhong Xingyan, I'm only sixteen, but it doesn't mean I can't support a family, Yang Huailiu's vegetarian meal is the best way to see me off, even if I die in battle, I'll be satisfied, take care!"

After cupping his hands and saying goodbye, Zhong Xingyan quickened his pace and went straight to the county government office to fetch his horse. He wanted to leave Qingcheng County immediately and stop staying for half a day.

Yang Zhiyuan watched his figure leave, and sighed helplessly. Qing Miao was a little confused, and asked, "Master, what is he talking about, whether it is life or death?"

"Something happened in his family." Yang Zhiyuan didn't elaborate with her, "Where's Huai Liu?"

"Missy is in the backyard." Qing Miao finally found a chance to talk to the master alone, and then babbled about Zhong Xingyan coming here suddenly today, and the young lady cooked a table of vegetarian dishes. "Miss also told Mr. Zhong that I hope... I hope that I will never have any contact with each other."

Yang Zhiyuan was startled when he heard this, and turned to look at Qing Miao, Qing Miao nodded repeatedly, "That's what I said!"

"This girl." Yang Zhiyuan quickened his pace, and Qing Miao followed silently behind him. Ever since she threw herself into the master's arms and hugged her once that night, the master has never been close to her again, although...although it is more intimate than before. Talking more, and treating her more kindly, but there is no real and substantive progress, which makes Qingmiao a little anxious.

Yang Zhiyuan didn't have so many thoughts. When he entered the backyard, he saw Fanyin continuing to read scriptures in the room.

"Father is back?" Fanyin greeted Yang Zhiyuan with a smile when he saw Yang Zhiyuan get up.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded, "I just saw Zhong Xingyan at the door."

Sanskrit's smile fell, "Yes, he came today, and I hope he won't come again in the future. My daughter cooked a table of vegetarian food for him, and he has fulfilled his wish."

"I'm afraid he won't have a chance if he wants to come again." Yang Zhiyuan looked at Fanyin and said, "He's going back to Beijing soon, and then he will go to the Northwest Army to receive orders to join the battle. It's hard to say whether he can save his little life."

Sanskrit was stunned and then startled, "What's going on?"

"General Huaiyuan is seriously ill, and the Northwest Army is in disarray. According to Fang County Magistrate, the people from the Ministry of War jointly offered Zhong Xingyan to take over the unfinished military affairs of General Huaiyuan. In fact, they wanted to fight. The Northwest Army itself was already in trouble. It's messed up, and letting him, a 16-year-old boy, lead the army, isn't that nonsense!"

Yang Zhiyuan shook his head disdainfully, "The literati are intriguing in their bones, and the warriors are not much better."

"Then... Then the higher-ups agree?" Sanskrit pointed upwards, signaling to the emperor.

"The Zhong family's limelight is too high, and the reputation of General Huaiyuan is too great. This is nothing more than to lower the Zhong family's arrogance, but this move is really ruthless. It is equivalent to throwing Zhong Xingyan into the wolf's den. Life or death is up to fate!"

Yang Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Why are you talking so much, it's not my son."

Sanskrit rolled his eyes, "If you want a son, you can marry a stepmother and have a younger brother for your daughter. What are you talking about?"

"Ahem, read a book for my father." Yang Zhiyuan found an excuse and hurried away. Sanskrit sat there thinking about Zhong Xingyan. so fast?
At this time, Mrs. Fang knew that Zhong Xingyan was about to leave, her first reaction was: "Let Jingzhi pack up his things immediately, and go to Beijing with Mr. Zhong!"
