Food, Color, Medicine and Fragrance: Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 17
Lin Xiaorou froze for a moment, raised her head and stared blankly at the smiling Nan Gongling, with no sound of rejection coming out of her throat.

The last time I saw him was in the soft moonlight, but now in the bright light, I can see him more clearly.

If he was mistaken for a banished fairy in the sky, then this time it can be clear that he is just a mortal, but he is also a mortal who can steal his heart. Those deep eyes can be instantly attracted by just one glance, and the corners of his lips are curved upwards. The arc of the hook is like a hook for ecstasy.

Seeing that Nan Gongling had already taken his seat, Xiao Er hurriedly slipped away without waiting for Lin Xiaorou's opinion.

"Hey, my young master will pay for you, won't you even say thank you?" The servant standing beside Nan Gongling couldn't help scolding Lin Xiaorou when he saw Lin Xiaorou staring blankly at his young master. road.

"It's not that I asked him to invite him, why should he thank you?" Lin Xiaorou blurted out, and quickly moved her eyes away to look at the cup in her hand without moving.

"I'm sorry, I disturbed the girl's peace, but the Zuiyue Tower really can't entertain me today, and I hope the girl will not drive me away." Nan Gongling was half serious and half self-deprecating.

Lin Xiaorou couldn't help smiling, and said, "As long as you don't lie to me, remember to pay for me later."

After she finished speaking, she kept completely silent, trying not to make any contact with his eyes, otherwise she couldn't guarantee that she could remain calm.

When the food came, she lifted up her veil and ate quietly, and Nan Gongling also ate quietly.

Only this table in the entire Zuiyue Building was silent, as if two gourmets were appreciating the delicacy of the dishes carefully.

In fact, Lin Xiaorou wished that she could eat more slowly. For some reason, she actually enjoyed this kind of quietness, a feeling of peace of mind, an indescribably warm comfort.

Facing the only dish of squirrel mandarin fish, Nan Gongling eats it in an extremely elegant way. Lightly touch the chopsticks, the meat is in the mouth, and there is no greasy or sauce on the lips.

Seeing that Lin Xiaorou also suddenly slowed down the speed of eating, trying to make herself look more ladylike.

I once heard that watching the person you like eat, bit by bit, bit by bit, what you eat is not food, but happiness. You can’t help filling your stomach and feeding your heart. hesitated.

If possible, God please grant yourself short-term happiness.

Forever and ever, I just hope that the years at this moment are quiet and good.

The white fingers holding the chopsticks seemed to have eaten her heart, and they couldn't get it back.

"Well, do you want to try the food delivered? Anyway, I can't eat it by myself."

Nan Gongling was taken aback for a moment, apparently did not expect Lin Xiaorou to talk to him, so she couldn't help but put down her chopsticks neatly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but I'm not used to eating with strangers on the same plate, I hope Miss doesn't mind."

stranger!
These three words are like pouring cold water over his head. If he knew that he was the one who was embraced and kissed deeply yesterday, would he still call himself a stranger?

Lin Xiaorou was a little embarrassed. After all, she had the cheek to make such an excessive request. Not to mention that the two were not familiar with each other, even if they were familiar, there was a difference between a man and a woman.

Could it be that a kiss made him a demon?
"It's okay, anyway, if I can't finish eating, I can pack it up and go home to feed the pigs."

"Girl, do you mean that my son is a pig? It's too much for you to eat up the food you're going to feed the pig."

Lin Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, but was choked up by the servant next to Nan Gongling, her face flushed red.

Damn, blame yourself for being cheap, why not just say feed the pigs.

On the other hand, Nangong Ling kept smiling, his eyes were like wine, and he was about to get drunk at a glance.

"Xiaoyun, this girl is also kind, so don't be rude, it's getting late, let's go back, remember to settle this girl's money together."

Nan Gongling took the servant and left. The time between coming and going was like a dream. Lin Xiaorou stared blankly at the pot of squirrel mandarin fish that he had only eaten a few mouthfuls of. Why did he only order one dish?Is it because of love alone?
The little second-hand was nimble, and quickly came to collect the table. Just as the rag was next to the table, he suddenly found something and shouted: "Hey, Master Nangong's sachet fell here."

As he spoke, he was about to reach out to pick it up, but there was a hand that was faster than him.

Lin Xiaorou almost used the fastest reaction speed in her life, grabbed the sachet and ran away.

She didn't hear what Xiaoer shouted or said at all.

When there was no one there, she gasped and supported the tree to stop, then folded her palms together and opened them cautiously.

A water-blue silk sachet lay quietly in the palm of his hand.

Close your eyes and smell gently, there is a faint orchid fragrance.

In the middle of the delicate pattern is a Chinese character "Ling".

Nangong Ling, so your name is Nan Gongling.

The fingertip traced along the lines of the black silk thread bit by bit, as if touching his soft lips.

Secret love, is this the legendary secret love?
Like Yan Gui before the slanting wind and drizzle, he suddenly had the illusion of precipitation.

But this Nan Gongling looks like he should be from a wealthy family, so he must not be worthy of his status.

Looking at the sachet, Lin Xiaorou felt a deep sense of inferiority for the first time.

She looked up at the sky, a peaceful smile gradually appeared on her face.

What are you afraid of, I am a person who can make medicinal food, maybe one day I will make a fortune by relying on this craft.

At that time, I will go to Ghost Valley Doctor to remove the large black birthmark on my face, so I should be qualified to pursue love.

She is not afraid of chasing and loving her, just afraid, before she transformed, Nan Gongling was already her pillow.

Nangong Mansion.

In the Jingsi Garden, two figures, one tall and one short, one thin and one fat, sat quietly on a stone bench. There was a jug of wine and two wine glasses on the table.

And the people who drink are Nan Gongling and Li Fu.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Nan Gongling got up and filled the wine glass and handed it to Li Fu.

Li Fu took it with trembling hands. Although it was early spring, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Master Ling, I wanted to bring you good news today, but my relative, but, suddenly turned his face and turned his back on him. It's useless to say what I say, they say, they say..." Li Fu looked slightly Panic, I can't continue talking if I get stuck here.

Nan Gongling smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it with his head up. The bright moonlight cast a layer of illusory splendor on his whole body.

"Don't be embarrassed, just speak up if you have something to say."

"They said that unless the Nangong family pays liquidated damages for them, and, in addition, all the cloth dyeing business will be done for them in the future, otherwise they will not negotiate."

Li Fu was obviously very guilty, he didn't even realize that the wine in his hand spilled out, he just lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

"It's not your fault, but I can agree to their request. The request is to stop the cooperation with the Huo family immediately. You can come to me tomorrow to get liquidated damages."

Li Fu was taken aback for a moment, was the day's matter that he was in a hurry solved so easily?
Although the Nangong family is rich, such unhesitating generosity still makes him click his tongue, and at the same time secretly envy him.

"Thank you, Master Ling, what about the antiques you mentioned last time?"

Li Fu was most worried and afraid that Nangong's family would come to compete with him for his job.

He looked at Nangong Ling with some uncertainty in his heart, his hands trembling nervously.

However, Nan Gongling sighed, his face became serious, and said: "I didn't intend to participate in this antique business, but my father is very interested, so I can't persuade him for a while."

Li Fu's heart tightened, and he stood up abruptly, almost pleading in a low voice: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I offended Miss Nangong and Master Nangong last time, it's all my fault, I hope Master Nangong will give me a redemption Chance."

Nan Gongling drank a glass of wine, glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "Don't be nervous, my father is just impulsive, and he may lose interest one day, but there is really one thing that needs your help right now."

As soon as he heard that there was still hope, Li Fu's eyes lit up, and there was a smile on his face, and he hurriedly said: "Say it, say it! As long as it is something I can do, I will definitely try my best to do it."

"I'll make another book for you on this matter, and then you can decide to settle it." Speaking of this, Nan Gongling suddenly made a trick, which made Li Fu feel uncomfortable, but he had to pretend to be calm .

Nan Gongling deliberately put aside the subject, and chatted with him about some irrelevant issues before sending Li Fu, who was sitting on pins and needles, out of the mansion.

"Master, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

The small courtyard became quiet, and Xiao Yun, who had been guarding the gate of the garden, couldn't help reminding him when she saw Nan Gongling sitting there alone.

Nan Gongling stroked his hands and rubbed his forehead wearily, sighed, and stood up from the chair. When he passed by the entrance of the garden, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiao Yun beside him, "Did you get someone to find you, that girl from Zuiyuelou?" ?”

"Don't worry, young master, but Xiaoyun doesn't understand, that woman looks poor at first glance, and she is wearing a veil inexplicably, who knows if there is a problem, in case it is a big blemish, or her nose and mouth are crooked , but the young master must have other reasons for looking for her."

Xiaoyun muttered to himself, Nan Gongling listened patiently and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "You have more thoughts than I do."

Xiaoyun chuckled, then lowered his voice and said, "But there is no news about Miss."

Nan Gongling smiled unpredictablely, and said: "You don't need to look for it, that girl should be doing well, since she was a child, she has never wronged herself."

In fact, what he said in his heart was: Little girl, how dare you give away the Pisces pendant that I gave you when I was young, so that my brother can only find someone to buy it for you.I can't be worthy of this jade pendant that I have painstakingly found if I don't close you in confinement when I come back.

It was a peaceful night, and the spring breeze blew a little green again.

Lin Xiaorou slept all night holding the sachet like a nympho, only to realize that she had overslept when she got up early, and rushed to the vegetable market with the casserole in her arms.

When I came there, the customers were already waiting there, their faces were full of displeasure.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally overslept."

Lin Xiaorou was extremely apologetic and handed the porridge to the woman, her waist almost touching the upper of the shoe.
