First smoked mind

Chapter 30 New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is coming soon.

Qiao Chuxun had brewed Tusu wine a long time ago, and stocked up a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and various fruits and vegetables.At this time, almost all the available pots in the kitchen were filled to the brim, more than half were sitting on the fire, and a few were waiting in line on the side table.

Rose-flavored taro braised pork, eight-treasure duck, assorted Taiping steamed, Shanzhen hot pot... In addition to all kinds of dishes that everyone usually eats, there is also a drawer full of steamed rice cakes, and the dumplings are prepared from the night before. Be sure to let the big guys eat enough.

The two of them were busy from noon until dark, and they almost didn't even bother to talk about gossip.Qiao Chuxun was mixing a cold dish with chopsticks, when she heard Xiao Taoer say "ah" behind her, and then ran up to her: "Sister Chuxun, do you think this is jade?"

Qiao Chuxun turned around and saw that there was a piece of jade in Xiao Tao'er's hand, it was purple in color, and the shape of a pipe was almost exactly the same as the one I saw on the street a month ago, except that it seemed a little longer.Qiao Chuxun hurriedly put down the chopsticks, took out the handkerchief and wiped his hands, took the jade in his hand and looked at it carefully: "Where did you get it?"

Xiao Taoer pouted towards the door: "It's in the vegetable basket. I went to get the green onions just now. Didn't sister Chuxun say that I want to chop the green onions!"

Qiao Chuxun frowned, walked quickly to the door, and dumped the entire vegetable basket on the table.No... Except for this piece of jade, there is no other abnormal thing.Didn't this basket of vegetables come with me when I went to the market the evening before? When I went out this morning, it wasn't this one...

Qiao Chuxun thought about it, and his face became more solemn.When eating noodles in the shop that day, listening to the conversation between Jing Yi and Yi Qingyu, it seemed that this piece of jade was inextricably linked to the Qisheng Sect. It's better to tell "over there".In other words, that piece of jade is a very important evidence.But now, another piece appeared out of nowhere, and it seemed to be the same as the previous one. Qiao Chuxun fumbled about it, and was a little undecided...

"Miss Qiao!" Xiaolu's voice came from the door, Qiao Chuxun was startled, and hurriedly stuffed things into her cuffs.

"Miss Qiao, the young master asked me to come and see, do you need something?" Xiaolu just walked to the door, smiled and nodded to Xiao Taoer, then looked at Qiao Chuxun, followed by Xiaolu and Xiaoyi.

Qiao Chuxun responded, turned around to the fire, and directed several people to bring down the pot.There are a few kinds of food inside that have already been served on the plate, just put a cloth on it and take it away directly.Just as the rice cakes were steamed, Xiao Tao'er was helping to pinch the rice cakes, and several shadow guards cheerfully served out the dishes.

Yi Qingyu and Chu Hui came over in the afternoon, played Go with Jing Yi for a while, and sipped tea and talked for a while.At this time, they also sat in the side hall together, waiting for dinner.

The dishes were served one after another, and Qiao Chuxun warmed the Tusu wine on the stove before letting Xiao Wan take it away.Finally, put a few glutinous rice and pumpkin cups into the tray, and walked at the end.

The things in the pharmacy were done as Jing Yi said early in the morning.Not only ordinary people, but also a few big and respectable families stopped doing it, and brought their servants to the door of the medicine hall to yell.Zhuangzhu Meng even directly asked Shang Nuyuan to wait for three days in the teahouse across the street, chasing and beating anyone who came out of the medicine hall.In the end, the family member who asked someone to put pressure on Yi Qingyu to reopen the medicine hall has never appeared. Seeing that it is the end of the new year and every family is busy with many things for the New Year, this matter is over. .

Although Yi Qingyu still felt unhappy, but after all he didn't let the other party get away with it, he felt less aggrieved than before, and he returned to his previous smiling face, always teasing everyone he saw.However, this person is still an out-and-out scholar, and he doesn't know martial arts, so a group of shadow guards are itchy in their teeth, and it's not easy to beat them up.

The wine cups in front of everyone were filled with wine, the big guys toasted together, Jing Yi didn't talk nonsense, just said a few auspicious words, and signaled everyone to cheer, eat and make trouble as you like.A group of young men howled for a while, cheered thunderously, and raised their chopsticks to attack the food on the table.

The glutinous rice pumpkin cup is soft and sweet, and the fillings are meaty and vegetarian, all of which have a hint of sweetness of pumpkin and the mellow taste of glutinous rice.Everyone went up to pick up a chopstick, and after a while there were not even scum left in the pumpkin cups.

The desserts that need to be eaten while they are hot are finished, and then the big guys eat meat, some eat meat, some drink alcohol, and at the same time, they do not forget to tease each other, divert the attention of the other party, and take the opportunity to stuff a few more dollars into their mouths.He is usually heroic and handsome when he goes outside, but now he is not much better than a seven or eight-year-old child.He couldn't grab it and sued Jing Yi and Qiao Chuxun.

"Ah! Young Master, Xiaoni is robbing me of fish!" Someone directly picked up the plate.

"Master, look at Xiaolu, he snatched me even in the bowl!" Holding the bowl, he turned around with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Master, help me, Xiaowan is going to grab my bowl—" Kick me over!

"Miss Qiao, are there only two eight-treasure ducks?" She bit her chopsticks pitifully.

"Everyone walks through the door, Mr. Yi should go back there to eat, hehehe..." He picked up the bowl and left.

"The buckwheat on the table over there is gone... Well, it's delicious!" He followed the bowl and picked it up.

"Let me clean up the soup leftovers." He continued to stare with a smile on his face.

"We're all in the same family, why are you being polite!" A certain adult was so thick-skinned that he poured all the leftovers from his own bowl into the bowl of Shengkourou.

Jing Yi took a sip of the wine, picked up a chopstick and sent it to Qiao Chuxun's bowl: "Tired?"

Qiao Chuxun pulled the corners of her lips and smiled: "Well, a little bit."

Jing Yi narrowed his eyes to look at her, put down his chopsticks and reached for her.What a sickly look, don't be tired and sick if you are celebrating the Chinese New Year!
Qiao Chuxun was still not used to his intimacy, so he quickly turned his head away, picking up the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks: "It's fine. Just rest for a while."

Jing Yi didn't touch her forehead, but stroked her temple hair: "I asked Gao Ling to buy a lot of fireworks, and I'll show them to you later?"

Qiao Chuxun nodded obediently, and curled the corners of her lips: "Okay. Thank you, young master."

Jing Yi frowned, slightly displeased.When will this girl not be so polite to him?He didn't want to hear such unfamiliar and polite thanks from her, as long as he could look into his eyes and smile, or let him hold hands and kiss his cheeks, he didn't know how happy he would be!

Qiao Chuxun has been thinking about Qisheng's teaching, the little jade in his sleeve seems to weigh a thousand catties, and he always feels that his arm is being dragged and sinking, and his heart is always uneasy.This matter must be told to Jing Yi, but not now, it will take two days.It's New Year's day, everyone should be happy, if this incident disturbs the interest... When Qiao Chuxun thinks of Jing Yi holding the jade and frowning in thought, he feels uncomfortable for no reason.This person has suffered so much because of the Qisheng teaching in the past, he really shouldn't worry about it anymore, he can't stop for a year.

Jing Yi looked at the man's side face from the side, and didn't move his chopsticks for a while.After drinking the last sip of wine in the wine cup, he suddenly took her hand that was placed under the table.

Qiao Chuxun wasn't in the mood to eat well, so he picked up the rice grains with chopsticks and didn't take a bite for a long time.At this moment, Jing Yi suddenly held his hand, and he was thinking about something on his mind, so he was startled, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hand fell on the table with a "click".Fortunately, the people around were having a good time, and no one noticed the movement here.Only Chu Hui, listening to Xiao Tao'er talking in a soft voice beside her, while eating food, looked up to this side, and then quickly turned away.

Jing Yi held his little hand to signal her to turn around, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Don't keep anything secret."

Qiao Chuxun bit her lip, glanced at Jing Yi, then quickly turned her face away, and tightly clenched the embroidered cuff with her other hand: "I...Your Majesty, allow me two days." After these two days, she must have Wu Shi told Jing Yi.

When Jing Yi heard this, he tightened his grip on the man's hand, leaned over and leaned close to her ear: "Say it now."

Qiao Chuxun felt that this person was very close to him, so he didn't dare to turn his face away. He just lowered his head and his voice trembled slightly: "My lord..."

Jing Yi's tone was cool, and he threatened quietly: "If you don't tell me, I will kiss you."

Qiao Chuxun hurriedly hid aside in fright, staring at him, how could he do this!With a pair of eyes on Jingyi, I could see the smile in his eyes, the slightly raised eyebrows, and the corners of the lips. This man just now intentionally frightened himself.

The smile on Jing Yi's lips deepened, and he held her hand and said, "Eat well. Tell me after watching the fireworks."

Qiao Chuxun stubbornly wanted to survive for three days, but when Jing Yi said this, he abruptly moved forward to tonight, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "Not tonight."

For some reason, the room suddenly fell silent, and Qiao Chuxun's soft "not tonight" was very clear in the big room.The crowd was silent for a while, and then they knocked on the wine cups and cheered. Yi Qingyu walked to the table with the wine cups in his hand, pointed at Jing Yi and said with a smile: "Young Master...you are too impatient! Three matchmakers and six hires haven't been hired yet, a beauty like Ms. Qiao can't be treated so lightly..."

Qiao Chuxun blushed immediately, and shook Jing Yi's hand to let him go.It's all his fault. If he hadn't forced herself to say it, she wouldn't have said such a thought-provoking sentence.This is good, everyone usually treats her like a master, but after such a disturbance, these people may make some troubles in the future!

Jing Yi stared at Yi Qingyu with condensed eyes, but this guy still looked at the two of them with a frank smile on his face, without the slightest awareness of saying something wrong.Jing Yi glanced at Gao Ling, raised his chin slightly, and signaled him to take him away quickly.By the way, a guest room was cleaned up, this guy was obviously drunk.

Gao Ling got up and helped him to another table, and kept winking with the rest of the people, why did you just stand there without saying a word, if Miss Qiao cries later, she won't look as good as you guys!
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, said "Oh", and hurriedly resumed the previous quarrel, and continued talking and laughing, grabbing food and pouring wine.

When they arrived, Jing Yi pulled Qiao Chuxun to stand at the door, and a group of shadow guards squatted or stood a little far away, busy lighting fireworks.In the end, everything was ready, and everyone stood aside, leaving Gao Ling to take care of the letter.

Gao Ling held a slender bamboo pole in his hand, and with a wave of his arm, he lit a circle of fireworks, and then retreated backwards with light work.There was a sound of "bang", and then a vermilion bright circle exploded on the top of the head, as if the water was wrinkled, spreading slowly, and then ice blue, emerald green, light yellow, peach pink, colorful fireworks bloomed one after another , showing various shapes in the dark night sky.

After the first dial was played, Gao Ling stepped forward to light the second pile, and beautifully colored flowers bloomed continuously in the air, just like the colorful candies tasted when they were young, they always bring a moment of sweetness and joy to people.Everyone looked up, and the bright light and shadow that exploded above their heads reflected on their faces, flickering on and off, like a dream.

When the fireworks were about to end, Jing Yi dragged someone into the house.Go out through the small door connected to the hot spring, pull down the curtain on the small shed above your head, and the dark night sky is immediately blocked outside.With the light in the room behind you, you can clearly see the light blue pool of water in front of you, with dense white mist, warming your cheeks.

There is a thick layer of blanket on the edge of the pool, the color of lilac purple is dense to the touch, and it feels warm just by looking at it.Jing Yi lit the lamps on both sides, and the claustrophobic space they were in suddenly became much brighter.Pulling Qiao Chuxun to sit down by the pool, she asked with a smile, "Is it warm?"

Qiao Chuxun nodded, probably because it was next to the hot spring, it felt very warm and the air was humid, which was very comfortable.He raised the corner of his skirt and sat back a little, for fear that his clothes would get in the spring water. This is usually the place where Jing Yi takes a bath, so it would be bad if the pool water gets dirty.

Jing Yi, on the other hand, held her in his arms and sat forward, reaching out to take off her shoes.Qiao Chuxun was taken aback, her calf was held in the palm of someone's hand, and she couldn't kick it randomly, so she only raised her hand to push Jing Yi's shoulder: "My lord!"

Jing Yi sat inside without moving at all, and quickly took off her shoelaces and socks, lifted her skirt up a little, helped Qiao Chuxun's calf into the pool, and then took off the other foot.

When the toes touched the warm and smooth spring water, Qiao Chuxun flinched first, then propped his hands on his back and tried to hide: "My lord, don't... it will dirty the water."

Jing Yi has peeled off both little feet at this moment, and simply put her ankles into the pool water: "No. The water in this pool is flowing, and your feet are not dirty." The feet are white and tender, The nail powder is like a shell, just looking at it makes me want to kiss it.

Qiao Chuxun grabbed the skirt with both hands, her face was already flushed red: "My lord..."

Jing Yi pressed her feet to soak in it for a while, leaned forward halfway, and held the toes that were as tender as mushrooms: "Will it hurt?" Standing from noon to just now, busy cooking for the big guy, the feet should be It's very sour.

Only then did Qiao Chuxun understand Jing Yi's intentions, and his heart felt sweet, and his voice softened a bit: "Thank you, my lord..."

Jing Yi held his little feet and pressed the soles of his feet again, massaged gently for a while before releasing, moved to the side, took the pancreas to clean his hands, dried them with a cloth towel, and then sat back beside Qiao Chuxun.

Qiao Chuxun bit her lower lip and sat obediently, not daring to move.Jing Yi pressed and kneaded with just the right strength, although he felt ashamed, but it was really comfortable, and even his stiff calves were relieved a lot.With reddish cheeks and half hanging her neck, Qiao Chuxun said softly, "Your Majesty."

Jing Yi was irritated by her words of thanks, so he sneaked a kiss on her cheek, and said, "If I really want to thank you, I'd rather be like this."

Qiao Chuxun's face burned even more, and even his ears were red.Turning his head and glanced at Jing Yi, seeing him looking at the front with a slightly cold face, he mustered up the courage to slowly move towards him with half-closed eyes, pecked lightly, and quickly backed away.Her head almost fell to her chest, her eyelashes were slightly wet, and she didn't dare to look aside anymore.

Jing Yi was taken aback for a while, but didn't recover for a long time.After he reacted, he saw Qiao Chuxun put on his shoes and socks and stood aside with his head bowed at some point, whispering, "It's late, my lord sleeps well." After speaking, before Jing Yi could speak, he ran out with his skirt in his hand.
