Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 369 She actually did this for Kaiyang

"You seem to like our Fengliang Country very much?" While waiting for the noodles to cook, Hong Xiaoduo pointed at John's clothes and asked with a smile.

John nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, I like everything here, the mountains, the water, the various delicacies, and the people here are simple and kind."

"Oh, didn't you encounter any bandits or robbers on the way here?" Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but ask.

She really had no intention of discrediting Fengliang Country. She just gave a slight hint after seeing John speak so highly of this place.

"I have encountered them, but bandits are everywhere, including in our country," John said disapprovingly.

After saying this, John felt that the female interpreter in front of him seemed to look at him with a friendlier expression.

"What do you think about the fact that we didn't ask for opium this time?" Hong Xiaoduo asked again casually.

Although Mu Rongjing and Kaiyang were watching the stall owner cooking noodles, they were listening with their ears perked up.

John didn't expect Hong Xiaoduo to ask him about this. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and shrugged, saying, "If you don't want it, then forget it."

"Is that so? But I remember that the other members of your delegation were all very angry, but you, John, were the only one laughing? Could it be that I saw it wrong?" Seeing that the other party obviously did not want to tell the truth, Hong Xiaoduo held back her laughter and pretended to recall seriously.

John didn't expect that under such circumstances, the interpreter actually paid attention to him?

Could it be because of the clothes he was wearing from the Fengliang Kingdom? He subconsciously looked down at his clothes.

At this time, John's stewed noodles were served.

Hong Xiaoduo pushed the vinegar pot towards him and said, "When I eat stewed noodles, I like to add some vinegar. Do you want to try it?"

John thought for a moment and blew on a piece of noodles with chopsticks, tasted it, and then added a little vinegar to it. After tasting it again, his eyes lit up: "Well, it tastes good without the vinegar. After adding it, it tastes a different kind of delicious."

John was eating the stewed noodles seriously, and Hong Xiaoduo did not continue the previous topic, as if that was the end of it.

Soon, the stewed noodles for Hong Xiaoduo and the other two were served.

Kaiyang looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him and glanced at Hong Xiaoduo.

"You have to adapt to your current status. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. Just leave some in the bowl." Hong Xiaoduo knew what Kaiyang was thinking. It had only been less than an hour since they had eaten the palace banquet in the palace. He was not hungry at all.

I was just thinking about sitting here and eating noodles, so it would be more natural to chat with John, and I didn't consider anything else.

If she had thought about it, she would definitely order one less bowl of noodles, and she and Kaiyang would share a bowl.

It is shameful to waste food. Now, Hong Xiaoduo can only make sure to finish her bowl of noodles.

Listening to the conversation between the adult and the child, Mu Rongjing understood. He had met her and the children before and had eaten together several times, so he knew that she and the children never wasted food.

"Give me some. I had no appetite at noon and didn't eat much." Mu Rongjing said as he pushed his bowl of noodles to Kaiyang.

Kaiyang immediately smiled, picked up the chopsticks and put the noodles from his bowl into Mu Rongjing's bowl, and also considerately picked up a few pieces of mutton.

When there was still half a bowl of noodles left in Kaiyang's bowl, Mu Rongjing's bowl was almost full.

Hong Xiaoduo reached out to help move Mu Rongjing's bowl of noodles back to him carefully and slowly.

Seeing her looking at him with hesitation, Mu Rongjing wanted to confirm whether he was wrong, so he looked at her and said, "How about you? Can you finish it? Do you want to share some with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard her say excitedly, "Okay, okay." She immediately picked up the chopsticks and put two full chopsticks of noodles into his bowl.

In other words, Mu Rongjing's bowl was too full to hold more noodles. If she took more, the noodles would fall out of the bowl, so she had to give up. Kaiyang was adding vinegar to his bowl, and Hong Xiaoduo was adding chili to her bowl. Mu Rongjing looked at the mountain of noodles in front of her and was not worried. Instead, she felt very happy.

I have eaten stewed noodles countless times since I was a child, but I have never shared noodles from other people's bowls, and it was from two bowls. This feeling is quite special.

John felt very warm while eating noodles and observing the interaction between the three people opposite him.

The four of them finished eating and put down their chopsticks at about the same time. Mu Rongjing was about to reach into his wallet to pay for the noodles, but Hong Xiaoduo signaled that he didn't need it.

Mu Rongjing glanced at John and did not rush to pay with Hong Xiaoduo.

"John, this bowl of noodles is on me." Hong Xiaoduo paid for the noodles.

"Thank you, Mr. Hong." John thanked with a smile.

"We still need to continue shopping. Do you want to join us?" Hong Xiaoduo invited.

John thought about it for a moment and nodded: "OK."

When they left the noodle stall and walked forward, Kaiyang and Mu Rongjing fell behind in tacit understanding.

"Prince, when will Uncle Wu be able to come back?" Kaiyang turned his head and asked.

Perhaps because he shared his noodles, Kaiyang felt that the distance between him and Mu Rongjing was suddenly shortened a lot.

Mu Rongjing responded to Kaiyang in a low voice, and the two, old and young, started chatting.

Hong Xiaoduo, who was walking in front, also chatted with John, talking about the goods sold at the roadside stalls and the snacks sold at the food stalls.

In about half an hour, they reached the other end of the market, where there were several tea tables.

"Would you like to sit down and taste a big bowl of tea? That is, the cheapest tea." Hong Xiaoduo asked tentatively.

John nodded without thinking, and after sitting down together, Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment and asked him in poppy language: "John, since you like Fengliang Country so much, would you consider staying here?"

"What did your mother say?" Mu Rongjing asked Kaiyang curiously when she saw John's expression after hearing her words.

Kaiyang translated it for him, and Mu Rongjing was also surprised.

"Of course I want to stay here, but what can I do as a foreigner staying here alone? Your emperor will not trust me as an interpreter." John said, shaking his head helplessly.

After hearing his words, Hong Xiaoduo felt relieved and said seriously, "It doesn't matter whether others believe you or not, as long as I believe you. If you are willing to stay, you can be a teacher for my child. I can teach him the language of your country, but it would be better if you can guide him and communicate with him every day.

You are also an interpreter, so you naturally know better that foreign languages ​​need to be spoken and used more often.

In addition, I can ask for you whether it is possible to teach your country's language in the academy.

How about it, would you consider it? I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible, and I can help you settle down before leaving Beijing."

"Kaiyang?" Seeing that Kaiyang's eyes turned red after hearing Hong Xiaoduo's words, Mu Rongjing greeted him in a low voice.

Kaiyang came back to his senses and looked at Mu Rongjing: "My mother wants him to stay and be my foreign language teacher."

After hearing this, Mu Rongjing looked at Hong Xiaoduo with some emotion. She actually did such a thing for Kaiyang!
"Hong Yishi, why do you trust me so much?" John asked doubtfully...

Thank you for the monthly ticket from my dear Miaomiao Spring Water (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
