The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 143 What trick do you want to play?
Qi Xuan took out a lotus-shaped jade pendant made of suet white jade, and said coldly, "Her name is engraved on it!"

Luo Yunhao felt embarrassed that the secret had been broken, and said angrily: "I said why my jade pendant disappeared. It turned out to be stolen by you, return it to me!"

"How dare you say that you didn't have her idea?" Qi Xuan asked angrily, this jade pendant was dropped by Luo Yunhao in the private room, and he picked it up, but fortunately Meng Fuling didn't see it.

Luo Yunhao always went to his house to grab a meal, he thought it was because Luo Yunhao had such a personality, and he simply liked to eat the dishes made by Meng Fuling, so he didn't think much about it.Unexpectedly, this guy likes Meng Fuling, and he intentionally approached her. I dare say they were all deceived by the illusion created by Luo Yunhao. How could he not be annoyed by this?

"Since you found out, I won't hide it anymore. I do like her, but liking her and having her idea are two different things, don't confuse them." Luo Yunhao smiled wryly, took a deep breath, and continued: " If you like it, you can keep it in your heart, silently, and not let her know, as long as she is happy. But getting close to her is just a kind of instinct, and there is no such thing as playing her mind."

Now that he has spoken out, Luo Yunhao suddenly feels much more relaxed.From the first time he met Meng Fuling, he felt that she was unique, so he came up with the idea of ​​going to Qishan County with her and Qi Xuan, but in fact, he followed.

However, as they got along, he became more and more attracted to her, and gradually lost his heart.But he knew that Meng Fuling was just a friend to him, and Qi Xuan was the only one she liked, and he didn't bother to do things that would damage other people's feelings, so he could only hide his admiration for her in his heart.

In fact, every time he saw her and Qi Xuan facing each other affectionately, he felt very uncomfortable, but he still pretended to be indifferent, smiling all day long, and often teasing them.

He wanted to leave several times, but he was reluctant, because he knew that if he left, it would be difficult to see her again, so he always told himself time and time again that he would leave after staying for a few more days.

As a result, he lived there for a long time, if Luo Yao brothers and sisters hadn't gone to Qishan County at that time, maybe he would still be reluctant to leave.After leaving Qishan County, he went to many places, trying to forget her, but the more he wanted to forget, the more clearly he remembered.He thought, since he can't forget, he won't forget.

By chance, he got a lotus-shaped jade pendant and thought it was very suitable for Meng Fuling, so he found someone to engrave her name on it, and wore it day and night as a thought.

Luo Yunhao thought that he would never have the chance to see Meng Fuling again, but he was not lucky, he never thought that he would pretend to be Shang Qiyan and meet her again.He also thought that it would be good to like her silently. Every time he got close to her, it was both painful and joyful for him, but he was happy with it.

"Whether you plan on her or not, stay away from her in the future." Qi Xuan said after being silent for a long time.

He believed Luo Yunhao's words, otherwise, he would not need to use the jade pendant to know that Luo Yunhao liked Meng Fuling.However, which man would rest assured that another man who likes his woman will hang around his woman from time to time?Emotions are difficult to control, who knows that one day Luo Yunhao will act out of line?

"Careful!" Luo Yunhao chuckled lightly, without answering, and was about to snatch the jade pendant from Qi Xuan's hand.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xuan dodged and shattered the jade pendant with his internal force in front of Luo Yunhao.

"You!" Luo Yunhao's eyes turned red instantly, and the next moment, he clenched his hands into a fist and swung towards Qi Xuan's face.

Qi Xuan pushed his palms to meet each other, and the two began to fight...

******
Meng Fuling didn't know that Qi Xuan fought Luo Yunhao for her sake, but she just found it strange that since Luo Yunhao went to the restaurant to deliver the order that day, she hadn't gone to the general's mansion for dinner, it was strange, she didn't think much about it.

The business of the restaurant is more booming than expected, and thanks to Shi Wenle's ability, she can rest assured that she will accompany Xiaodonggua and take care of Butler Lu whenever she is free.

For Steward Lu, Meng Fuling felt very guilty. Steward Lu was implicated completely innocently. If she hadn't asked him to take care of the restaurant's affairs, he would not have suffered such a disaster.

She was watching Little Winter Melon and Little Chicken Wings playing, Zhu Xiang came over and asked: "Miss, what kind of clothes do you want to wear when you go to the Yueyang Marquis Mansion tomorrow for a banquet?"

Meng Fuling frowned, now that she is very famous, there are not a few ladies and young ladies who have invited her to the banquet with various pretexts, all out of curiosity, they want to see her true face.

She pushed everything that could be pushed, except that Yue Ningyan, the daughter of Marquis of Yueyang, agreed to invite her to the flower viewing feast.

In fact, as early as when she first came to Beijing, besides paying attention to the gourmet competition, she also paid attention to whether there were rich families named Yue in Beijing.

After paying attention for a long time, there are only two families with the surname Yue in the whole capital city, one is not in line with what Xue said, and the other is Yueyanghoufu.

As long as one asks, almost everyone knows that the Marquis of Yueyang is called Yue Shaoqing, and he is the only younger brother of the Empress Dowager. He helped the emperor win the throne and made a lot of contributions.

It is said that he has a daughter who was wandering outside, and now he has sent someone to find her, that is Yue Ningyan. He loves Yue Ningyan in every possible way, and made her a lawless and savage character.

Meng Fuling was almost certain that Yue Shaoqing was the person Xue Shi told her about. She remembered that when she left Beijing, Xue Shi told her a shocking secret with tears in her eyes.

However, no matter whether Yue Shaoqing is that person or not, it has nothing to do with her. Xue Shi told her that she only felt that she had the right to know, rather than asking her to find out the whereabouts of that person.

Therefore, Meng Fuling has been in the capital city for so long, and has not taken the initiative to contact the people of Yueyang Hou Mansion.Yue Shaoqing did not show up in the final of the food competition last time, and it was said that he was ill.

This time, Yue Ningyan took the initiative to invite her, and Meng Fuling felt that it would be no harm to go to the Yueyang Marquis Mansion to experience it.

"Mother, take the little wax gourd, okay?" Little winter melon hugged Meng Fuling's arm, shaking and shaking, coquettishly, her voice was sweeter than ever.

Seeing this, Little Chicken Wing also hugged Meng Fuling's other arm, imitating Little Winter Melon, and yelled, "Sister, I want to go too!"

Meng Fuling's thoughts were interrupted by these two little guys, and she rubbed their heads amusedly. She kept them in the mansion all this time, and she didn't have much time to spend with them, so they must be very bored.

Anyway, she won't stay in Yueyanghou's mansion for too long, and after seeing what kind of character Yue Ningyan is, she will leave.After leaving Yueyanghou Mansion, you can take them to the night market.

Thinking of it this way, Meng Fuling agreed, but never expected that something would happen to Xiaodonggua.

******
The flower viewing banquet in the Marquis of Yueyang will be held at night, and it is a kind of flower that only blooms at night. This flower is called Yexinghua. It is precious and rare, and it is said that Yue Shaoqing bought it from outside the territory at a huge sum of money in order to please Yue Ningyan.

Meng Fuling didn't feel much about this, after all, she wasn't the original owner, she wouldn't care what Yue Shaoqing did for Yue Ningyan's fake daughter.

The next day, Meng Fuling dressed up and went to the banquet. Qi Xuan was worried and wanted to go with her.However, all the wives and young ladies who went to the flower viewing feast were from all the prefectures, and none of the male masters went with them.

Meng Fuling wasn't afraid that he would be laughed at, but felt that with his status and appearance, if he went there, he would definitely attract people.

Therefore, Qi Xuan only sent her, Xiaodonggua and others outside Yueyang Hou's mansion, agreed on a time to pick them up to go shopping at the night market, and then left.

Meng Fuling took a little guy with one hand, and Wu Wu and Zhu Xiang followed behind them. After Wu Wu handed the invitation to the manager at the door, someone announced her name loudly, and then someone specially assigned to lead them in. government.

When she walked into the gate, Meng Fuling was just impressed by the dignified main hall, but when she turned to the backyard, her style changed suddenly, as if she had entered a Suzhou garden in an instant.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions are looming among various rockery vegetation, and there are countless small courtyards of different sizes and styles. A running water has also been introduced into the garden, and a lotus pond has been built in the garden.

Turning around the lotus pond, there is a very wide pavilion on the other side. This pavilion is very unique. It is different from what Meng Fuling saw in modern times. It has two floors and is surrounded by light yellow tulle. You can’t see the pavilion clearly from the outside. The people inside only feel that there are only shadows.

At the other end of the pavilion, there is also a long corridor with no end. Lanterns covered with light yellow tulle are hung on both sides of the corridor, which makes the light emitted by the lanterns have a hazy and aesthetic feeling.

Meng Fuling was admiring inwardly, but Little Chicken Wing actually said disgusted words, "Sister, it's not so good here, I thought it was so pretty."

Uh, Meng Fuling choked up, listening to Xiaoji Wing's tone, as if he had seen a garden more beautiful than Yueyang Hou's Mansion?Just as she was about to say something, Little Winter Melon nodded her head and echoed Little Chicken Wing's words, "That's right, that's right!"

Now, Meng Fuling thinks that the two little guys simply don't like this place, so they say this on purpose, not that this place is really ugly.

As for why these two little guys don't like this place, it may be because when they came in, people stared at them strangely along the way, and even some people who also came to the flower viewing banquet just entered the mansion with them, or Talking in front of them or behind them.

Meng Fuling herself could ignore these people, for fear that the young hearts of Little Chicken Wing and Little Winter Melon would be affected.However, now it seems that she was overthinking, and the two of them criticized this and that in a serious manner, and they didn't stop discussing until they got close to the pavilion.

Because the guests could not bring the maids in except for the servant girls who were left in the pavilion by the Yueyang Hou Mansion, so they could only wait outside the pavilion.Meng Fuling only found out about it just now, and she thought that the rules in the rich man's house are big.

Meng Fuling and the two little guys entered the pavilion. The people in the pavilion didn't pay much attention to them, but someone asked in surprise, "Boss Meng, why are you here?"

It was this sentence that made everyone present know that the person who came was Meng Fuling, who was in the limelight recently. They all silenced and stared at Meng Fuling with different eyes, including kindness, curiosity, and contempt... …

Most of them are disdainful. After all, even if Meng Fuling is Qi Xuan's favorite, and she still wins No.1 in the food competition, it still doesn't change the fact that she was born in the countryside.

Meng Fuling sneered, the person who spoke was not Luo Yao, she forgot that she would come too.Too!Not long after Yue Ningyan was found, she was trying her best to integrate into the circle of high-ranking ladies in Beijing, making friends with famous ladies from various prefectures, including Luo Yao.

And most people are willing to make friends with Yue Ningyan because of the power of the Yueyang Marquis Mansion, and they may also look down on her behind the scenes. After all, Yue Shaoqing found her from the outside. She's just an uneducated wild girl.

"Miss Luo, don't come here without any problems! I thought you and Miss Qi were deeply in love with each other. She was punished and could not leave the mansion. You would accompany her to relieve her boredom in the Ding'an Palace." Meng Fuling smiled lightly, the irony in her words was very strong. obvious.

The atmosphere became even more subtle. Not long ago, Qi Yu recruited a group of beggars to Tianyuan Restaurant to make trouble and add trouble to Meng Fuling. It was widely spread and almost everyone knew about it.

The women present were all used to the intrigue in the back house, and their minds were very active. They immediately guessed that Luo Yao and Qi Yu went to Tianyuan Restaurant together that day. As a result, Qi Yu was punished, but Luo Yao was fine. Does Yu really know nothing about buying beggars, or is there something inside?
All of them pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Luo Yao's answer.

Luo Yao was furious, this Meng Fuling was born with a poisonous tongue, and could push her into an embarrassing situation every time, she collected herself, tried her best to stabilize her emotions, and said with a smile: "Ayu devoted herself to copying the female ring, how could she be bored?" ? I don't want to disturb her, but it's hard for you to care about her so much. "

Meng Fuling cursed shamelessly!In order to help her get out of the siege, Luo Yao even revealed that Qi Yu was punished for copying the women's ring. Even though everyone knew it well, saying this would only damage Qi Yu's reputation even more.

Of course, she couldn't be complaining about Qi Yu, an idiot, but simply hated Luo Yao's actions.

The women present seemed to be dissatisfied that Meng Fuling and Luo Yao did not have too much conflict, but they couldn't bear to gossip, so they split into two groups, one group asked Luo Yao about the day, and the other group surrounded Meng Fuling to ask Dong. Ask West.Some women are ironic about Meng Fuling's words, while others are purely curious.

No matter what, Meng Fuling was able to deal with it with ease. To those who mocked her, she stabbed them into silence, and she could also skillfully avoid some sensitive topics, so that those women couldn't get any advantage.

Suddenly, someone yelled, "Madam Hou and Miss Yue are here!"

The crowd dispersed, Meng Fuling looked up, and saw two women, surrounded by a group of maids, walking towards the pavilion. The older women were well maintained and elegantly dressed, they should be Mrs. Hou's Qiao's is undoubtedly.

Looking at the young woman again, she seems to be about the same age as her, with willow eyebrows and slender waist, a small face the size of a palm, big eyes and small mouth, she looks really good, but her skin is not so white, but she insists on wearing a bright red The dress looks tacky.

After Meng Fuling looked at it, she only felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of the unmasked Yue Shaoqing.All the women present looked like they wanted to laugh, but they were too embarrassed to laugh.

Qiao Shi and Yue Ningyan greeted everyone one by one. I don't know what kind of mentality it was based on. It was Meng Fuling's turn in the end. Moreover, it was reminded by the maid beside him that she seemed to think of Meng Fuling.

Yue Ningyan was originally dissatisfied with Qiao's invitation to Meng Fuling by her name, but seeing Meng Fuling's outstanding appearance, she felt a little jealous.She couldn't figure it out, Meng Fuling was just a village girl, why did Mrs. Qiao insist on inviting Meng Fuling?

Thinking of this, Yue Ningyan pretended to be surprised and said, "Dong Meng, didn't you just give birth to a son for General Qi? Why is there a little girl?"

This remark caused everyone to cover their mouths and chuckle, they all secretly despised Yue Ning's vulgar words, and wanted to see how Meng Fuling would respond.

Before Meng Fuling opened his mouth, someone with good intentions said: "Meng Dong's family, you have given birth to a son for General Qi, why don't you even have a title? If this is the case, it is not easy for us to call you the general's wife."

After the man finished speaking, he still giggled. She and Luo Yao were very close, and she obviously said this to please Luo Yao.

Meng Fuling disdained to talk to such a dog-legged person the most, so she said coldly: "I thought it was a flower viewing feast, but unexpectedly, I haven't seen the Ye Xinghua to be rewarded, and only heard the noise of dogs barking." .”

"You, who do you say is a dog?" The angry man twisted his mouth, stood up suddenly, pointed at Meng Fuling and said angrily.

Little Chicken Wing, who had been quietly staying beside Meng Fuling, suddenly said, "My sister didn't mention her name, why do you want to be seated by the number?"

Meng Fuling saw that the man was so choked by the little chicken wing that his face was flushed and he was speechless, which was very funny. She nodded in approval and said, "What the little chicken wing said is true, even if we accidentally get bitten by a dog, we can only do it." I think I'm unlucky, I can't bite back."

Little Chicken Wing nodded seriously, "Understood, sister, then just leave the dog alone and let her bark there by herself."

Meng Fuling laughed, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she really wanted to pick up the little chicken wing and kiss it hard, this little girl is really too smart.

It was also because of Little Chicken Wing's words that she sat back in her seat angrily. If she argued with Meng Fuling, wouldn't she consider herself a dog in their mouths?

Others who wanted to embarrass Meng Fuling also temporarily stopped thinking, and no one wanted to compare themselves to dogs.

What's more, the people present originally thought that Meng Fuling's performance in dealing with beggars and in the food competition finals was an exaggeration. After all, they didn't witness it with their own eyes.

Yue Ningyan wanted to say something, but Qiao Shi secretly pulled her sleeves, and she remembered Qiao Shi's previous instructions, saying that they are the masters, and they should not go too far in everything, and must not lose Yue Yanghou's face, yes Therefore, she didn't say much.

Seeing that Yue Ningyan had calmed down, Mrs. Qiao smoothed things over. At the end, she said: "Yexinghua needs a certain time to bloom. Everyone should drink tea and eat snacks first. When the time is almost there, I will take everyone to see it."

Meng Fuling thought to herself, isn't this an act of mystery?How can there be such a peculiar flower? Qiao just relied on the fact that no one present had ever seen the so-called Ye Xinghua!She didn't want to stay any longer, but now she wanted to see what the hell Joe and the others were up to.

At this time, Meng Fuling could see that it was Qiao's who actually invited her, not Yue Ningyan, and it must be because Yue Ningyan was about the same age as her that she invited her in Yue Ningyan's name.

As for inviting her, is it really just because of curiosity about her?She didn't really believe it. To be honest, she was too lazy to deal with these women who felt superior and had eyes on top of their heads.

Meng Fuling's going to the banquet today was not only out of curiosity about Yue Ningyan, but also wanted to take this opportunity to make these people stop, stop posting invitations to her, and make her refuse. It's annoying.

Otherwise, do you really think that she is all right when she is full and is here for entertainment?That's really funny!
Suddenly, Little Chicken Wing leaned close to Meng Fuling's ear and muttered, "Sister, look at Little Winter Melon, he has been staring at that beautiful sister."

Hearing this, Meng Fuling looked down, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Donggua staring blankly at the other side, she followed his gaze, and he was really looking at a young woman.

The woman has a melon-seeded face, a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows are really pretty, a straight nose, a small ruddy mouth slightly upturned, with a faint smile, fair and delicate skin, petite and exquisite, as if from an ancient painting The beauty who came out.

Seeing Meng Fuling looking at her, she nodded and smiled back. Meng Fuling remembered hearing someone call that woman Miss Yi just now.

Meng Fuling had heard of Miss Yi, she was Yi Bingyun, the eldest daughter of Master Yi, a well-known beauty in the capital city, with a reputation of being virtuous and virtuous.

The reason why she pays attention to Yi Bingyun is because Yi Bingyun's performance is different from other women. When those people surrounded her, trying to see her jokes, only Yi Bingyun sat quietly, his eyes were calm, and there was nothing wrong with him. The color of contempt.

Therefore, Meng Fuling had a good impression of Yi Bingyun and started to make friends with her, but before she got up, Yi Bingyun excused that she was not feeling well, and was led by the maid of Yueyang Hou Mansion to the guest courtyard for a rest, so she had no choice but to give up .

Instead, he pinched Little Winter Melon's tender face, and said with a smile, "Little Winter Melon, but you see that sister is pretty?"

After Yi Bingyun left, Xiao Donggua came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure, his little face was slightly red, and it was the first time that he was glad that he was a child.

So, Xiao Donggua raised her head and smiled innocently, "Mother, that sister looks so good!"

Meng Fuling pretended to eat, "Then mother asked you, is she prettier or your mother is prettier?"

Xiaodonggua tilted her head, frowned, and looked very distressed. After thinking for a while, she hesitated and said: "Mother is better."

"Just a little? I still have to think about it for so long, my mother is so sad!" Meng Fuling sighed pretendingly, but she didn't see Mrs. Qiao who was not far away nodding to Luo Yao.

Afterwards, Mrs. Qiao winked at a tea maid again, and the tea servant took the teacup she had just taken from Yi Bingyun's place and walked towards Meng Fuling's place.

"Mother, don't be sad, it's a lot, a lot." When Xiao Donggua heard that Meng Fuling was sad, she quickly changed her words, said, and gestured with her hands with a serious face.

Meng Fuling was amused by the little wax gourd, and was about to speak, when suddenly, someone beside her heard an ouch and several exclamations.She turned her head hastily, and saw a servant girl leaning towards her.

"Get out of the way!" Meng Fuling hastily pushed the little chicken wings and the little winter melon aside, and she also stepped aside.

Her reaction was quick enough, but her skirt was still wet by the teacup that fell out from the hand of the maid. Fortunately, the teacup only fell at her feet and did not hit her.

Meng Fuling had lingering fears and fears, but luckily the two children were not hurt.She quickly calmed down, gave the maid who had fallen to the ground a cold look, and then looked at Qiao Shi coldly.

Qiao Shi also looked shocked, patted her heart, and angrily scolded the maid, "Idiot! How did you do it? If you hurt Meng Dong's family, can you afford it?"

After finishing speaking, she quickly apologized to Meng Fuling, "Boss Meng, I'm really sorry, this maid is clumsy, I will definitely punish her severely later, please forgive me."

The woman who was previously scolded by Meng Fuling as a dog said with a sarcasm, "That's right, you have a lot in Dong Meng's family, so you won't argue with a maid?"

Luo Yao smiled gloatingly, but rarely said anything sarcastic, and most of the others had the mentality of watching the show.

"Oh! I am the servant of your mansion, and I discipline the servants very well. The maids who can stay here to serve the ladies and ladies must have been carefully selected. It is unimaginable that they will be so clumsy. It really makes me happy Vision." Meng Fuling sneered.

She is easy to coax when she is a three-year-old?In the majestic Yueyang Marquis Mansion, will the maids with clumsy hands and feet really serve the guests?If this is the case, there will be no rule that guests cannot bring maids into the pavilion.

Meng Fuling couldn't figure out what Qiao's intention was in doing this. They had never met before, could it be that Luo Yao was playing tricks again?
In just a short moment, Meng Fuling's mind turned quickly, but that was just her conjecture, which had not yet been verified.

Mrs. Qiao didn't show any annoyance because of Meng Fuling's words, but said apologetically, "Boss Meng, don't be annoyed. Your skirt is already wet. In order to avoid catching cold, you should go to the guest house to change it first? A new dress is prepared for you."

"No need, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Meng Fuling directly refused with a calm face.

"Meng Dong's family, Mrs. Hou has sincerely apologized to you. It's too inhuman for you to leave like this." Luo Yao finally spoke.

This remark attracted everyone's approval, and some people couldn't help but condemn Meng Fuling. They felt that Meng Fuling hadn't formally accepted Qiao's apology, and she was too reckless. She was indeed a low-status country girl with no manners at all.

There were also some old peacemakers who tried to persuade Meng Fuling, "Boss Meng, you are fine with me, it's just a change of skirt, don't hurt your peace because of such a trivial matter."

Meng Fuling suddenly felt that it was funny, but it turned out to be her fault. If she refused to accept Qiao's 'good intentions' and stayed to change the skirt, she would definitely leave people with something to talk about, and she would be accused of being narrow-minded.

She could not care about her reputation, but she didn't want to flatter Qiao Shi and Luo Yao, but Qiao Shi actively persuaded her to change her skirt. Could there be some kind of trap waiting for her to jump?When Luo Yao spoke, she felt that what happened today had something to do with Luo Yao.

Meng Fuling thought about it for a while, and the coldness faded from her face, "I'm afraid everyone misunderstood me. I don't want to trouble Mrs. Hou. I have no other intentions. Since Mrs. Hou has good intentions, if I evade it, I don't know what to do. I can only trouble Mrs. Hou."

Luo Yao's expression was slightly stagnant. She didn't expect Meng Fuling to compromise so easily. She thought it would take a little more effort.

Mrs. Qiao didn't understand Meng Fuling's style of handling things, so she didn't think too much about it. Seeing that she agreed, she said to her confidant maid, "Qiu Ju, take Meng Dong's family to the guest house to change skirts."

It was inconvenient for Meng Fuling to bring small chicken wings and small wax gourds, so she had to decline Qiao's offer to take care of them, took them outside the pavilion, and handed them over to Zhuxiang and the two accompanying guards. , followed the maid named Qiuju to the guest courtyard.

She assured Xiaodonggua and the others to stay, because there were many people inside and outside the pavilion, and no one would attack them blatantly. The two guards were also carefully selected by Qi Xuan, and their martial arts were not low, enough to protect them.

It's not that she knew there was a trap and dared to go, it's that she had imagined that the tricks of these backyard girls were just those kinds, and if she took Wuwu with her, she would definitely not let them succeed, and maybe she might be able to turn them into an army.

"Miss, they must not be kind." Wu Wu whispered.

Although she didn't enter the pavilion, she has excellent hearing and has been paying attention to the movement inside. Naturally, she knew what happened, but she believed that Meng Fuling could handle it, so she didn't break in.

"It's okay! I want to see what tricks they want to play." Meng Fuling chewed a cold smile on her lips.
