From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 321 He Likes You?

Luo Qiu went to the kitchen to look at the dishes, but he wasn't here, so the man in the purple brocade robe said, "It's not the Lantern Festival when it's snowing heavily, so someone came out to sell candied haws. Besides, it's already dark today." , I went home early. Tell Luo Qiu to wait, and I will send it to her tomorrow morning, and I will send a big box to make sure she can eat enough in one sitting."

While speaking, she heard Yunluo call "Hou Ye", Mei Xin and the man turned their heads to look at Zongzheng Mingzhen.

Smiling slightly, Mei Xin stood up and introduced, "Third Brother, this is the Marquis of Zongzheng. Ming Zhen, this is the grandson of Old General Kou, the third brother Kou Zhenhai Kou."

Zongzheng Mingzhen knew him, and Kou Zhenhai knew him, but they were not familiar with each other, and they hadn't had much contact with each other.Therefore, each of them saluted, sat down and said very politely: "I have heard of Mr. Kou's name for a long time, but when I saw it today, it turned out that Yushu Linfeng is a good-looking talent."

Old General Kou was brave and good at fighting when he was young, and he was named the Duke of England, and his son Kou Ying was the prince and grand teacher.Although the Kou family has no real power at the moment but a false position, they are a dignitary that should not be underestimated.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, Master Hou is absurd!" Clasping his fists and saluting, Kou Zhenhai said again: "I have invited friends for dinner so I won't disturb my sister Xin'er and Master Hou. Sister Xin'er, the snowy road is not good Let's go, I'll take you back after dinner in a while. I have something to tell you, you must wait for me, and you are not allowed to leave first like last time. "

I was not in the capital some time ago, and I only learned that she is back today.Originally planning to see her tomorrow, but thinking of meeting her here today, I was overjoyed and had a lot to say to her.

It happened so many years ago, I didn't expect him to still remember it until now, Mei Xin smiled slightly and said: "Okay, you go, I will definitely find you when I leave."

Feeling depressed and full of anger with nowhere to vent, Mei Xin also wanted to find someone to talk to.

Standing up and nodding, Kou Zhenhai said: "I'm in the third private room on the left, Luo Qiu knows, remember to call me, I'm leaving. Hou Ye, goodbye!"

After speaking, Kou Zhenhai waved his hand and left.

The milky white mutton soup in the copper pot was already boiling. Zongzheng Mingzhen picked up the chopsticks and put the sliced ​​mutton into it.

Suddenly startled, Mei Xin smiled, and said lightly: "I entered the military camp at the age of eight and did not officially join the army until I was 12 years old. Third brother Kou trained in the Mei family army for three years. We joined the army together. The third brother is very nice, When I was in the army, he took good care of me, so I like it."

A yellow-haired girl who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, a half-child who was forced into the Mei family's army by her grandfather, what she likes and dislikes is nothing more than having fun together and chatting well.

Zongzheng Mingzhen didn't think so, on the contrary, he could clearly feel that Kou Zhenhai liked her, but she didn't understand it.Continuing to put vegetables in the copper pot with a blank face, while putting them aside, he said: "If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, how can it count?"

The ambiguous attitude gave him a feeling that there is no silver 300 taels here, and for some reason, he especially wanted to know whether she liked him or not.

The number one taboo in dealing with people is to talk lightly, and Mei Xin also feels that she doesn't need to answer him.The answer was not what was asked, and said: "Master Hou invited me to dinner to ask this?"

Turning to look at her calmly, Zongzheng Mingzhen lifted the jug and poured himself a glass of wine, saying, "Of course not, I'm just curious. Come on, the mutton slices are thin, and they will be cooked as soon as you heat them up. Try it."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a small bowl of green wild leek flowers and placed it in front of Mei Xin.

Just now I was busy talking with Kou Zhenhai, but I didn't find wild leek flowers. I don't know where it came from. She was a little surprised and said: "No wonder this shop is doing a good job. It tastes best with mutton."

As soon as he heard this, he knew he was an expert. Zongzheng Mingzhen held up his wine glass and said, "There are also wines that are abundant in Liangzhou. It tastes best when eaten with mutton."

Speaking of wine, she remembered that she gave her mother a jar, took a sip, and the taste was pure, then she put it down and said: "No water, no sugar, just like the one you gave my mother. It's just a pity that you can't drink it, otherwise we Then we can exchange glasses and have a good time.”

As he spoke, he picked up two long chopsticks and picked some vegetables for her in the copper pot.I don't know what she likes, so I put a little bit of everything.

Mei Xin was not a rich young lady raised in a deep boudoir, she didn't hold back at all, and she didn't refuse, she thanked her and started to eat.The taste is good, especially the mutton slices dipped in wild leek flowers are extremely delicious, without any smell: "It's very fresh and delicious, don't pick it up for me, you should eat it quickly."

After watching for a while, the dishes in front of her were piled up like a hill, and Mei Xin felt a little better.What Xindao Luoqiu said is true, eating delicious food really makes people happy.

Nodding in agreement, Zongzheng Mingzhen began to add vegetables to his own bowl, and then slowly chewed and swallowed.In stark contrast to Mei Xin's big mouthful of meat, he is as elegant as a nobleman.

No, he was originally a noble son.Therefore, Mei Xin was neither surprised nor embarrassed.On the contrary, she feels that personal preferences are different, and there is no need to endure hunger and sip food in order to cater to a certain person or gain a good reputation.If she was asked to eat like him or like a young lady raised in a deep boudoir, she believed that she would lose her appetite after eating too much.

Since the elder sister usually eats with the mother and son after she gets married, she can't see anyone and can't talk during the day, so Bai Yulan doesn't stop when she eats.Therefore, Zongzheng Mingzhen did not pay attention to eating and sleeping.Seeing that Mei Xin hadn't vomited after eating, he seemed quite hungry. He poured out the sour plum soup he had prepared earlier and said, "If you eat too much mutton, it will get greasy. I asked someone to prepare sour plum soup. You can try it."

While talking, he took out a glazed cup and poured one for Mei Xin, put it in front of her and said: "It's cold, you've had morning sickness recently, so you can't drink it cold. It's scalded in hot water, it's warm, it's just right to drink now. "

Unexpectedly, he was careful and considerate, Mei Xin hurriedly said: "Thank you!"

"Report to Lord Hou, Commander Feng has arrived!" At this moment, Liu Jiu's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and suddenly remembered the real purpose of inviting Mei Xin to dinner. Zongzheng Mingzhen explained: "The emperor handed over the assassination case last night to Jingzhao Yamen and Gyeonggi Guard. It was appointed by the emperor. Originally, he was going to come to ask you, but I thought it would be more appropriate to go outside. So, I asked him to have dinner here, do you think you should let him in now?"

It was also his intention to introduce them to each other, otherwise he wouldn't be in this muddy water.

The sixteen guards of Gyeonggi guard the capital, and the position of commander is very important.It's just that Mei Xin didn't understand why Zongzheng Mingzhen did this. As far as she knew, he was not a nosy person.

　Ah, ah, it took me 150 minutes to write this chapter, I feel tired and I don’t love it!
