The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 433
In this way, although Qin Wan was working in the east courtyard of Luqiu Mansion, he never had any direct conversations with the two young masters.Even if the two of them ordered her to do something, she would simply answer "Yes" and do it coldly.The sister-in-law of the Chen family was very satisfied with her calmness and stability. After telling Mrs. Luqiu, Mrs. Luqiu was also relieved.

"Sure enough, girls who have studied are much better than those girls in the backyard who just want to climb high." Mrs. Luqiu said to Chen's sister-in-law.

"Yes. At the beginning, I was worried that Xiao Liuxin was not experienced in working in the house. In the past few days, not only has she been quiet and seldom talked, but she has also done a good job in all kinds of work." From the words of the Chen family's mother-in-law, it can be heard that she is very fond of Qin Wan. satisfy.

"Okay, then let Xiao Liu continue to serve in the east courtyard." Mrs. Luqiu explained with confidence.

After Qin Wan heard the news brought to her by Chen's sister-in-law, she nodded as usual.

After a few days of observation, Qin Wan didn't see which of the two men was Ning Yilai at all, but saw their lazy, uneducated, incompetent, playful, lewd, childish and ridiculous misdeeds, so his attitude towards the two of them became more and more serious. Cold, in the end not only was there no smile at all, but there was also a little disgust in his eyes.

There were clouds gathering in the sky, Qin Wan stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky in a daze for a while, until the rain dripped down, and then she hurried back to the porch.

After all the work was done, it was rare for her to sit comfortably on the porch and watch the rain.

The torrential rain at the seaside is different from that in the inland area, with strong wind and torrential rain, with a whistling temperament.At such times, past events would flood into Qin Wan's mind, causing Qin Wan to lose his mind for a while.

"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly someone spoke in her ear.

Qin Wan turned her head to look, Xun Cheng appeared beside her at some point, and asked her with a smile.

After getting along for a few days, although she didn't know which of them was Ning Yi, she could already clearly distinguish between Xun Cheng and Xun Che - Xun Cheng liked to wear a piece of white jade around his waist, but Xun Che didn't.

"I didn't think about anything." Qin Wan replied.

"But I see you are in a trance." Xun Cheng said.

"It's just watching the rain." Qin Wan smiled and was about to leave.

But as soon as she took a step, Xun Cheng grabbed her by the forearm: "Xiao Liu, did we meet somewhere before?"

Qin Wan froze for a moment, looked down at Xun Cheng's hand holding his wrist, and was puzzled for a moment.

"Master Xun Cheng, I remember that you asked the actor who came to play the pipa the same way before." Qin Wan told the truth, then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled softly, broke away from Xun Cheng's hand, turned his head and walked away.

Watching Qin Wan leave, Xun Cheng stood there dumbfounded, watching her get an umbrella from the wall to prop herself up, walk into the rain, and walk towards the small kitchen.

Xun Che walked out of the room with a book at this time, followed Xun Cheng's gaze to look at Qin Wan in the rain, and then looked back at Xun Cheng: "Xun Cheng, don't you see that she is not you? Girls who are treated lightly."

Xun Cheng glared at Xun Che: "When did I treat her lightly?"

Xun Che pointed at Xun Cheng's hand with the corner of the book: "Your behavior just now, can't you call it frivolous?"

Xun Cheng glanced at his hands, and said coldly, "I just felt that the way she looked up at the rain was very familiar, so I wanted to ask her in a moment of anxiety."

Hearing what Xun Cheng said, Xun Che looked at Qin Wan's back in the distance again, frowned slightly, and said nothing more.

Qin Wan walked into the small kitchen, and Aunt Liu, who was in charge of the spoon, was making wontons stuffed with mutton.

Qin Wan frowned, walked to the other side and began to make noodles by hand.

Aunt Liu was puzzled and said, "Xiao Liu, the wontons I made are enough to eat, why do you still need to make noodles?"

"I'm afraid that some of them won't eat wontons." Qin Wan explained, "I'll roll out the noodles first and put them aside. If some of them won't eat them, I'll cook the noodles for them."

Aunt Liu looked at Qin Wan strangely: "I've never heard that the two cousins ​​don't eat wontons."

Qin Wan smiled and said, "I'm guessing too."

Sure enough, during dinner, both Xun Cheng and Xun Che were full of praise for the wontons.

Qin Wan stood aside, pursed her lips, braved the rain and went back to the small kitchen, lit firewood, boiled water, and prepared to cook a bowl of clear noodle soup for herself.

The water in the pot boiled, she lowered the noodles into the water, and gently pushed the noodles to spread out in the water with a wooden spatula.

She remembered that Ning Yi didn't eat wontons...

But I didn't expect that after such a long time, things have changed.

When a bowl of noodles was cooked, she filled it up and leaned against the kitchen table to eat silently.

While eating, Xun Cheng suddenly appeared in the small kitchen. He glanced at the raw wontons wrapped on the table, then at the noodles in clear soup in Qin Wan's bowl, and asked, "Why are you so pitiful? If you don't eat wontons, why don't you eat them?" Just eat a bowl of noodles?"

Qin Wan didn't answer, but asked Xun Cheng, "Do you like the wontons made by Aunt Liu?"

Xun Cheng nodded without hesitation: "I thought you did it."

Qin Wan shook her head: "I don't make wontons."

Xun Cheng looked at the noodles left in the pot: "Then can you serve me a bowl of noodles you made?"

"Can you still eat?" Qin Wan asked in surprise.

"Try it, you've done everything." Xun Cheng smiled.

Qin Wan took out a small bowl from the side, picked up a bite-sized portion with chopsticks, put it in the bowl, filled some soup with a spoon, and served it to Xun Cheng.

Xun Cheng took a sip and seemed to enjoy it: "No wonder you secretly ate it by yourself. It really is better than Aunt Liu's wonton. It is the most delicious in the world."

Qin Wan glared at him: "Slick tongue, don't talk while eating!"

Xun Cheng finished the noodles in the bowl in one go, frowned and said, "I regret it, if I knew that wonton was not made by you, I shouldn't have eaten so much."

"If you want to eat noodles these days, I'll just make it again." Qin Wan took the bowls and chopsticks from him, put them in the clear water basin beside him, and then rolled up his sleeves to clean up the kitchen utensils.

Xun Cheng leaned against the table and watched her work: "Xiao Liu, what's your real name?"

Qin Wan's hands froze slightly: "Why do you ask this?"

"I heard that you not only write very well, but also memorize the entire "Miaofa Lotus Sutra". With such a talent, how can you only have such a simple name like a code name." Xun Cheng asked with folded arms.

Qin Wan wiped the washed kitchen knife with a cloth, and lightly raised the corner of her mouth: "I don't like my name, so you can call me Xiaoliu."

"Don't like your own name?" Xun Cheng looked at Qin Wan curiously, "Is your name particularly vulgar and ugly? Like Peach Blossom, Peony, Begonia...?"

"Where is Haitang so vulgar?!" Qin Wan asked suddenly, holding a kitchen knife.

Xun Cheng looked at the kitchen knife in her hand, and took a step back: "Your name is Haitang, right?!"

"Of course not!" Qin Wan put the kitchen knife on the knife holder, and cast a bitter glance at Xun Cheng.

"Then what's your real name?" Xun Cheng didn't give up, and asked again.

Qin Wan ignored him, just lowered her head and wiped the table.

"Forget it." Xun Cheng pouted, folded his arms and watched Qin Wan work.

Qin Wan gave Xun Cheng a disgusted look: "Master Xun Cheng, if you are really idle and bored, go back to your room and study. I heard Madam say that both you and Master Xun Che are going to take the examination for fame. It's just you who are fooling around every day. It looks like a ghost, if you can pass the exam."

Xun Cheng was slightly startled: "How do you know who I am?"

Qin Wan didn't care about Xun Cheng's surprise, and asked calmly, "Aren't you the young master Xun Cheng?"

"Generally few people would recognize Xun Che and me directly," Xun Cheng said.

Qin Wan: "That's because you usually wear a jade pendant... I can tell you two apart by this."

"But I didn't bring it today." Xun Cheng said seriously.

Qin Wan looked down, and it turned out that Xun Cheng unexpectedly didn't wear the jade pendant on his waist today: "Oh, it really is." After finishing speaking, she continued to put away her kitchen utensils.

Xun Cheng looked at Qin Wan, the luster in his eyes became different.

After Qin Wan finished cleaning the kitchen, Xun Cheng opened an umbrella at the door: "I'll take you back to your room."

Qin Wan raised the umbrella from the wall: "It's raining so hard, Master Xun Cheng, you should get an umbrella yourself, I have another one here."

Xun Cheng frowned: "Xiao Liu, do you know how many girls in the entire Penglai County want to be under the same umbrella with this young master. You gave up such a good opportunity so easily?"

Qin Wan glanced at Xun Cheng: "Master Xun Cheng, you are too narcissistic. Even if all the women in Kyushu wanted to hold an umbrella with you under such a heavy rain, I wouldn't think so. "

Xun Cheng's eyes widened: "Aren't you a girl?"

"..."

Qin Wan really stopped talking to Xun Cheng this time, raised his umbrella angrily, and strode into the rain without looking back.
