First smoked mind

Chapter 20

Zhuang Zhuang Meng looked quite bold before, but now he got up in a hurry and ran to the woman to help her up.Hold the beauty's two small hands in the palm of one hand, and carefully support the woman's waist with the other hand, lowering her voice with a strong taste of flattery: "My darling! You have two bodies now, don't make too much movement , otherwise it will hurt my precious son!"

The woman looks quite delicate and beautiful, but she is old enough to be the daughter of the owner of Meng Zhuang.He was supported to a padded wooden chair like a baby, and he didn't forget to turn around to say hello to Yi Qingyu and Jing Yi before sitting down.The voice is also delicate and delicate, which makes people's heart tremble.

Yi Qingyu smiled and returned the salute, while Jing Yi nodded slightly as a greeting.

After the woman sat down, she whispered something to Master Meng for a while, and she didn't know what she was talking about, which made the man clap his hands and laugh, and hugged him and screamed again.

When Qiao Chuxun was at home, he seldom had the opportunity to meet strangers. He followed Jing Yi and his group to Yuezhou Mansion, and the only people he knew were Gao Ling and Xiao Taoer. Relatively speaking, his living circle was too narrow.Seeing Zhuang Zhuang Meng holding his wife as if no one else was around, his cheeks flushed in a short time, his head was lowered, his hands were hidden in his sleeves, and he was gently twisting the inner fabric.

The woman on the opposite side seemed to be aware of it, and after a few coquettish words, she stretched out her hand and pushed Master Meng.Clearing her throat, she greeted softly, "This girl, you look so kind!" There was a hint of confusion in Jiao Didi's voice, and it didn't sound like she was genuinely suspicious, but a polite remark intended to get close to someone.

Qiao Chuxun hurriedly raised her head, her lips curled up into a smile: "Hello, Mrs. Meng."

Hearing this, the woman was startled for a moment, then giggled.Holding the vermilion embroidered handkerchief in one hand, she half-covered her mouth, her big eyes turned around like a soul, and she said softly: "This girl is really an interesting person... Mrs. Yi is really too, knowing that I am alone in the village. Very, I don’t have a sister to accompany me, why didn’t I introduce my sister to me earlier!”

Qiao Chuxun felt even more embarrassed because of the other party's laughter, and he didn't know how he could show timidity in just a few words.He fixed his eyes on the woman in front of him for a while, but was still very puzzled.According to the conversation of the few people just now and the woman's clothes, it is clear that she is the wife of Mrs. Meng Zhuang. It is not an exaggeration to call her "Mrs. Meng", but why is she...

Just as he was thinking about it, the owner of Meng Zhuang had already got up and helped the girl up: "Everyone is here, let's have lunch first. Recently, a new chef was invited, and many dishes are fresh and serious. I also specially searched for A jar of the jade practice hammer that Lord Yi likes most, today we will not return if we are not drunk, we will not return if we are not drunk!"

Qiao Chuxun stood up behind Jing Yi, and saw that his footsteps were a little slow, and at the same time stretched out a hand towards him, with his long fingers slightly closed, with the palm facing up, clearly motioning for himself to put his hand on it.

According to the usual situation, Qiao Chuxun would definitely not agree to be too intimate with Jing Yi, and would directly refuse without even thinking about it.However, when I came to this manor today, I always felt a disturbing mystery everywhere.

Qiao Chuxun didn't know whether it was due to the long-term scrutiny of Zhuang Zhuang at the gate of the manor, and the strange attitude of Mrs. Meng towards him just now, or whether it was because he was too nervous and suspicious, or there was something weird about what happened today. After leaving the villa, I have always been worried.Therefore, at this time, Jing Yi stretched out his hand, as if spreading a pair of wings to her to protect her. A warm and firm force spread along the spread palm, silently calling Qiao Chuxun to come forward quickly.

When she felt confused, Qiao Chuxun stretched out her hand and obediently led by Jing Yi to the round table.As soon as the little white hand was put on it, it was firmly held by someone, and the slender fingers pressed the palm gently rhythmically.A warm current surged in his heart, and Qiao Chuxun realized that the action of him gently pressing his palm was a kind of comfort, telling himself silently not to be afraid or worried.

While several people were talking, some servants were already serving dishes up, and the whole table was filled with cups, plates and dishes in a short while.Zhuang Zhuang Meng got up to pour wine for several people, and raised the wine cup first: "I have the honor to meet Mr. Jing today, and Meng is very happy! It coincides with a beautiful day, and the four beauties are gathered together, so there is not much gossip. Let's drink this cup first!"

Qiao Chuxun was originally not good at drinking, but when she saw Mrs. Meng at the other table also raised her wine glass, she drank it down in one gulp, and had no choice but to pick up the wine, frowning and took a long gulp.

Fortunately, although the jade training hammer is a famous product, the smell of alcohol is not very choking, and the taste is quite clear and mellow.Qiao Chuxun stretched out his hand to cover his mouth lightly, and took a few breaths.I have hardly ever drank alcohol since I was a child, and I couldn't get used to the taste of alcohol for a while, but fortunately I didn't cough it up in public, otherwise it would be too rude.

From the moment Jing Yi sat down, he pulled Qiao Chuxun's hand onto his lap and placed his fingers on her wrist lightly, never letting go.Seeing her drink half a glass of wine reluctantly at this moment, she covered her mouth with her hand, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and there was no fluctuation on her face. She just picked up a piece of steaming cotton cake with chopsticks and sent it to her bowl.Then he took the half of the wine and put it next to his wine glass, which meant that if there was another toast, he would also take Qiao Chuxun's share.

Yi Qingyu noticed early in the morning that the young master was not in the right mood. While chatting and laughing with others, he observed calmly. The problem seemed to be Qiao Chuxun.But seeing Qiao Chuxun's expression and demeanor, although he was a little perplexed, he obviously didn't know what was going on.Yi Qingyu was also a little confused for a while, so he could only continue to wait and see what happened.

Master Meng didn't realize it, and while taking care of his lovely wife to eat and drink, he took the public chopsticks and served dishes for several people, and introduced them to the table with great interest.I have to say that this table of dishes looks ordinary, but in real terms, it is worth half a year’s expenses of ordinary people: tender dripping bamboo shoots, simmered lotus seeds and snow fungus, and roasted crispy outside and tender inside. Roe deer meat, high-grade blood swallows, light blue japonica rice... plus the rare jade hammer, although the atmosphere between the few people was a little weird, they all ate and drank well, and Yi Qingyu shook his head even more It's addictive, and it's obviously very enjoyable to eat!

Qiao Chuxun's left hand was held by Jing Yi, afraid of being spotted by the people at the table, so he didn't dare to look up at people, and just kept his head buried in the food.

Jing Yi didn't care too much, he tasted some of every dish, and he didn't eat as much as when he was at home.But he still took care of Qiao Chuxun's taste, whenever he tasted lighter dishes, he would put some in her bowl.

The woman on the opposite side sipped the wine lightly, with a smile on her lips and winking eyes, she first stretched out two fingers and squeezed the arm of Mr. Meng next to him, and then motioned him to look at the opposite table with her eyes, and at the same time laughed: "Mr. Your relationship is really good, I am so envious to see it. I don’t know when we will have a happy event? Don’t forget to inform our master when you are introduced!"

Qiao Chuxun had just swallowed a mouthful of the tender and tender tofu flower, when he heard this, he almost choked, so he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, coughed twice before forcing it down, he was surprised and ashamed for a while, and he really choked As far as the throat, Shui Ying's almond eyes turned red.

Jing Yi didn't seem surprised that the other party asked such a question, and replied calmly: "That's natural." At the same time, he brought a bowl of herring soup that was just served to Qiao Chuxun, and motioned her to take a sip and press it down.

Yi Qingyu knew this person's temper very well, and seeing that Jing Yi was already displeased at this moment, he quickly picked up the bowl of duck meat soup he just served and said, "Oh, I've eaten so much duck meat since I was a child, but this is the first time I've eaten it. It’s so fresh, but I have to eat an extra bowl!”

Master Meng turned his face to look at the small bowl in Yi Qingyu's hand, and chuckled, "Your Majesty Yi is indeed a glutton, with a very tricky tongue!"

"I think at the beginning, I was determined to hire this chef only after I tasted this duck dish." Zhuang Zhuang Meng stroked his long beard with one hand, and said slowly: "This dish is to boil the fat duck in water until eight Separately cooked, let cool, remove the skeleton, tear it into square or round pieces by hand, put it back into the original soup and simmer on a low heat, add salt and wine, crush the yam and taro, put them into the pot and stew, and rotten before simmering When it’s time, add minced ginger, mushrooms, and chopped green onion.”

"Even though it's easy to say, most chefs don't know how to heat well. The duck meat they make is old and old, and the soup is either tasteless or too greasy. Only the duck cooked by this chef is really unique! "

Yi Qingyu took a sip of the soup with a smile, and nodded again and again: "The meat is tender but not greasy, the yam is smooth and the taro is flexible, and the soup is thick but not thick. It completely retains the umami taste of duck meat without any fishy smell. It's really good." !"

On one side of the two, they were talking about a piece of duck meat soup, and on the other side, the owner's wife was also staring at Qiao Chuxun with great interest.The latter was already terrified of panic, but because of Jing Yi's simple but firm answer, his mind was in a state of confusion, his eyelashes were trembling, and the hand that had been obediently on the man's lap couldn't help but struggled out.

Jing Yi turned his face to look at the reddish almond eyes of the people around him. His eyes were originally condensed, and he grabbed the man's wrist and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid. Let's go home after dinner."

Qiao Chuxun felt dizzy for a while, and some kind of intuitive danger seemed to be approaching secretly, her heart pounded against her heart with a heavy bang, as if something in her chest kept churning, making her stomach sour.The first time I heard Jing Yi's words "go home", I felt my eyes warm for some reason, lowered my eyelids and nodded heavily.

Mrs. Meng still felt that it was not enough, propped her chin with one hand, tilted her head to look at the person carefully, and said slowly as if she was drunk: "How do I look, why do you think the girl's face is familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere , or... just to listen to people—uh!"

Before she finished speaking, the woman suddenly groaned, and the wine cup she was holding fell to the table with a "bang", and the wine spilled on her dress.But the woman didn't care about it at all, her face was pale and her brows were frowned, she curled up covering her belly with one hand, and grabbed the sleeve of the person next to her in a panic with the other hand: "Master, master, I..."

Several people were shocked when they saw this scene.The owner of Meng Zhuang was so frightened that his three souls lost his seven souls, he dropped his chopsticks and hugged the woman and asked repeatedly: "Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt? Stomach?"

Zhuang Zhuang Meng asked several questions, and he had already picked up the man horizontally, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Housekeeper! Go get the doctor!"

Yi Qingyu also got up and followed out.Jing Yi pulled Qiao Chuxun to follow at the end, his face that had been condensed was almost gloomy at this moment.

After several people entered the nearest room one after another, and the servants came in and out to light the charcoal stove to get hot water, Mrs. Meng was so weak that she could barely speak at first, but now she screamed and cried out in pain. The delicate voice was so shrill at this time that it was almost unbearable to hear it.

Qiao Chuxun turned to look at Jing Yi: "My lord..."

Jing Yi naturally knew that she wanted to help, so he hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and at the same time said in a slow voice: "Don't force it, a doctor will come to treat you later."

Qiao Chuxun nodded, walked outside the screen, and raised his voice: "Master Meng, I'm a little bit similar to Qihuang's art..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhuang Zhuang Meng walking up to her, looking at her eagerly: "Since you are such a troublesome girl!" The nearest doctor will also go to the city to look for it, and it will take a while to go back and forth.It would be great to have someone knowledgeable to help.

Qiao Chuxun nodded slightly, walked quickly to the bed, and saw the woman curled up, with one hand covering her lower abdomen, her complexion was as pale as paper, drops of sweat were oozing from her forehead and temples, and she couldn't help crying out in pain.

Qiao Chuxun gently dragged one of the woman's wrists over, put three fingers on her to feel her pulse, and softly comforted her: "Ma'am, don't panic, the doctor will be here soon."

The woman opened her eyelids in a hurry, half-closed her eyes and said vaguely: "My stomach hurts so much... My child, can I lose my child..."

Qiao Chuxun frowned slightly, and asked softly: "Madam, do you feel that your stomach is churning so hard that your breath is sinking?"

The woman nodded weakly, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes: "I... always feel that something keeps going down, woo... child..."

Qiao Chuxun hurriedly grabbed the woman's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "Madam, don't think wildly, the child will be fine. Maybe something you ate just now is not suitable, and the child will be fine."

The woman nodded with tears, and held Qiao Chuxun's hand tightly. The fingertips painted with bright red Koudan pinched the back of the man's fair hand with some bloodstains. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, the child will be fine..."

Qiao Chuxun didn't care about the pain in the back of her hand, and softly comforted the woman to adjust her breathing and calm down her mood. At the same time, she called Master Meng to come over, read out a prescription for anti-birth, and asked the servants to fry it quickly.Because the prescriptions are deliberately selected that don't require too many special medicinal materials, they can be decocted quickly enough for people to drink.

Strange to say, after about a cup of tea, the pain in the woman's abdomen gradually eased, she still felt a faint discomfort, but it was not as violent as before.Qiao Chuxun quietly retreated to the outer room, Yi Qingyu and Jing Yi sat on both sides, seeing this, he hurriedly asked, "Is Mrs. Meng okay?"

Jing Yi directly dragged the person in front of him, touched the hot little hand, frowned slightly, then pulled his wrist, and raised the cuff to check.I saw that the usually fair little hand was a little red from being squeezed, and some bloodstains were pinched on the back of the hand, and now it was slightly bruised.

Qiao Chuxun saw Yi Qingyu glance at him with a half-smile, and was still waiting for his answer, so he quickly retracted his hand and replied in a gentle voice: "It seems that something is inappropriate to eat, take some anti-birth medicine That's fine, it shouldn't be a serious problem. But..."

Jing Yi's palms were slightly tightened, and he pulled the person closer, and his tone was a little cold: "What are you hiding!" He didn't care about the teasing gaze from Yi Qingyu, and took out the medicine box from his sleeve with the other hand, and held it up to the two sides. Among the people: "Open."

When Qiao Chuxun saw this round pill box, all the details that happened on the street corner a few days ago flooded into his mind, including the hot kiss before, and the domineering and uninhibited words that the man in front of him said while pinching his chin. Just blushed.

With trembling fingers, he touched the box, unscrewed the cover with the strength of his hand, and when he looked up, he saw the man with phoenix eyes and smiling eyes, staring at his lips and chin with deep meaning.Then, as if feeling something, his gaze slowly moved upwards, meeting the eyes that he looked away in a panic.

Seemingly hearing a low laugh from his throat, Qiao Chuxun bit the inner lip, not daring to turn his eyes to see if he was really smiling.I just felt that the back of the hand held by him was lightly smeared with some cold medicinal dew, and the slightly hot fingers slowly slid across the wound. The medicinal dew was cool and refreshing, and then another cool breeze blew by... …

Qiao Chuxun turned her face in doubt, and saw the man holding her hand to her lips, with her lips slightly parted, blowing gently.Seeing that she was staring at him like a fool, the corners of her lips curled up into a wicked smile, kissed her middle finger knuckles lightly, and ordered softly: "Next time, don't let others hold hands like this."

Yi Qingyu snorted with all his might, and Qiao Chuxun felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and his reddish cheeks immediately became more blush, comparable to red plums by the river in the twelfth lunar month.

Qiao Chuxun's almond-shaped eyes widened, she bit her lip and stared at Jing Yi, tears of shame were about to come out, just as she was about to shake off the man's hand and run out, there was a crisp "crack" at the door, followed by a slightly sharp strange Male voice: "Where did this earth recipe come from and dare to drink it for your owner's wife? Hurry up and take it away!"
