wedding dress

Chapter 202 Gathering

It was rare for Zhao Lu to come back, and there were quite a few people who wanted to entertain.But once Xiaodong came out, everyone had to retreat.

Just kidding, as long as you know someone well, who doesn't know how much Prince An loves his sister?Once when it was Xiaodong's birthday, he even wiped his face and acted on stage, and put on a colorful dress to entertain his parents.

All the people gathered in Prince An's Mansion this time were his own family members, Shen Jing also came back, and sat around a table together.Xiaodong put on his apron and cooked two special dishes. A big bowl of hot mutton soup was brought to the table, and all the people at the table poured their spoons to scoop it up.The meat soup is not greasy at all, and is as smooth as tofu. In addition to mutton, chopped shrimp, straw mushrooms, water chestnuts, sea cucumbers and ham are added in it, and the fragrance is mouth-watering.There is also a small bowl of walnut cheese for one person, white as snow, sprinkled with a little sesame and sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, it is not enough to eat, just looking at it makes people feel sweet and soft in the heart.

There were three eatables at the table——Qin Lie, Zhao Lu, and Shen Jing.

The first two Xiaodongs are not surprising, as long as she cooks, even if she makes a plate of fried sawdust, the two of them can eat and eat without changing their expressions, but Shen Jing is always gentle, this time the food is like a wind sweeping away the remaining clouds, After wiping his mouth, he held the tea bowl and said, "Oh, you really don't know what kind of life I lived on the river project. The flour was black, and the rice was mixed with sand. Someone gave me a bowl of steamed wild vegetables. It was delicious. Great."

No wonder—it turned out that I suffered a lot outside.

Zhao Lu laughed, and slapped him heavily on the shoulder: "There is no harm in suffering more. I also ate a lot of food in the military camp. It is rare to go back to the capital, so I must save more oil and water."

Alas, a son of a royal family, a son of an aristocratic family, is like a starved ghost reincarnated.

It is a good thing that someone appreciates her craftsmanship—but this is too exaggerated, Routang Xiaodong himself has never tasted it.

The banquet was withdrawn, the autumn night was slightly cool, and the moon was bright and clear.Qin Lie and Zhao Lu also hadn't seen each other for many days, and the two went back to the martial arts training ground while arguing.Shen Jing stayed to talk with An Wang.Xiaodong was not familiar with the names of the people they were talking about, and it seemed to be a matter of the Ministry of Industry.

"I compared all the accounts of the previous four years. The least is the year before, and the most is last year. This year's materials, labor, and various expenses are all included..."

Today's hair bun was combed a little tight, Xiaodong pulled out the hairpin, loosened the bun, took off his shoes, leaned there with his eyes closed, and listened to the low and gentle voices in the room.Hongfu said softly: "The Princess is tired? Why don't you go and rest first?"

"Not tired." Xiaodong asked, "What time is it?"

"It's almost time."

No wonder she was a little sleepy, usually she would go to bed at this time.

"Get someone to clean up. We won't be going back tonight, so let's rest at the palace for the night."

Hongfu agreed to go, Shen Jing came out from the inner room, Xiaodong hurriedly stepped on her shoes and stood up: "Huh? Are you finished?"

"Well, curfew is coming, I'll take my leave first." Shen Jing said with a smile: "Today's meat soup is really delicious."

Xiaodong smiled and said, "If you like it, I will make more next time."

Xiaodong sent him out of the yard, the night was as cold as water, and he stood still quietly: "No need to send him away, it's cold outside, you should go back quickly."

"Then be careful on the way, and ask Uncle Fu Hai to send you two more people to see you off. If you meet someone patrolling the city, it's easy to talk."

"Understood." Shen Jing raised his hand, hesitated a little, and still brushed it slightly over Xiaodong's head, and then showed her his hand: "It's stained with wool."

"Ah," Xiaodong himself raised his hand and touched his head.It was probably stuck there just now.

The moment Shen Jing approached just now, Xiaodong smelled a faint fragrance from him.

Because of cooking at night, Xiaodong washed his hands and face, and did not put on any makeup.The night is cool and the people are quiet, this fragrance seems to be there, but it can't be smelled again.

"Thank you for the tea. I have been organizing the case files these days, but I can't leave them for a while."

"Don't suffer too much," Xiaodong warned, "You can do more things only if you stay in good health."

"I know, you go back quickly."

Xiaodong stood still, and the servant carried the lantern, and walked away quietly and briskly, his body was submerged in the night, and the light of the lantern flickered slightly, getting further and further away.

Hongfu took the cloak and put it lightly on Xiaodong's shoulders. With the help of a little light, she saw the thoughtful expression on Xiaodong's face.

"Princess, please go back to the house?"

"Well, where are my aunt and son?"

Hongfu smiled and said, "I haven't come back yet. I just sent someone to pass on a message saying that I have a lot to say and I won't be back for a while. I told you to go to sleep and not wait."

"understood."

It's so strange, why does Shen Jing have the rouge fragrance of Meihuanu on her body?
Xiaodong entered the house, and Wang An also changed his clothes, he was dressed in homely clothes, and the hair crown was also taken off his head, at first glance he really didn't look like a royal noble.

Wang An beckoned, Xiaodong walked up to him, and sat down next to him.

"Come on, let's play chess."

Xiaodong is really not good at chess, even though he is taught by a master like An Wang, his level is still not in the top.In the chess class in Jiyutang back then, I took a long time to miss out, so I didn't learn any real skills.

But Wang An definitely didn't want to play chess seriously.

Xiaodong said, "Okay."

Spread out the chessboard, Wang An held the black, and the jade chess pieces had a faint soft light under the light.Xiaodong can arrange it however she likes as she pleases.Wang An didn't care about her either, they were just playing chess.

Xiaodong took the opportunity to ask: "Father, in fact Zhang Ziqian walked with us all the way, it was my father who asked him to protect me?"

Wang An looked at the chessboard, picked up the pieces, and said casually, "He said he wanted to go out and have a look."

Don't deny it, it's true.

Xiaodong bit her lip, and after a while, said softly, "I asked brother about it."

"Oh?" Wang An raised his head with great interest: "He didn't tell me the truth, what did he say to you?"

"Well... I'm afraid my brother has some six or seven points in his heart, but I don't know what the girl is thinking."

"Is it the fourth girl of the Yin family?"

Xiaodong didn't even know Miss Yin's ranking, but she wasn't surprised at all by Wang An's straightforward explanation.It would be strange if An Wu didn't know about it.

"Father also knows?"

"I know, her father has already passed away, and she lives with her uncle's family. Her uncle Yin Yicheng is Doctor Guanglu, and he is upright."

Xiaodong clutched the chess pieces in a daze: "Well, I've met her twice, Miss Yin is very amiable."

But Miss Yin is older than Xiaodong, and she is not yet married, so she can be considered an older young woman.It is said that such a good girl should not be wasted until now.Could it be that the dowry is not rich?Or is there another reason?

These days people always say that daughters are money losers - although it is derogatory, there is a reason for this.Marrying a daughter requires a lot of dowry, and there are many girls who cannot marry because of the small dowry.But Doctor Guanglu's niece will never end up in that situation.

Xiaodong pondered for a while, and then pondered about being quiet again.

Where did the faint scent of rouge on his body come from?
Xiaodong is convinced that Shen Jing doesn't have the habit of putting on makeup, so it's because the smell of others is contaminating him?
No wonder—it turned out that I suffered a lot outside.

Zhao Lu laughed, and slapped him heavily on the shoulder: "There is no harm in suffering more. I also ate a lot of food in the military camp. It is rare to go back to the capital, so I must save more oil and water."
