Foster son and husband

Chapter 114
The bowl of beef noodles in front of Xu Junying made Xu Junying move his index finger. The green vegetables are green, the scallions are white, and the sauce-colored beef slices are stacked on the smooth and well-proportioned noodles. The amber noodle soup is rich and attractive. Mother Cai made it? How come I haven’t seen her make such pasta before!”

"What kind of food do you want to eat? You have to figure it out. Tell her, and she will make it. Otherwise, you can only make what you are used to."

Mei Niang smiled and handed him the chopsticks: "This is the beef noodles that our Tsinghua University asked to make, Master Hou, eat it while it's hot!"

"Are you really not going to eat? Share some!"

"I can't eat anymore, I'm too full for dinner."

Mei Niang picked up the chopsticks, picked a piece of kimchi and put it into her mouth: "This is an appetizer, you can eat it for fun!"

Xu Junying looked at the three or four small dishes on the table: "These are the small dishes you said to be served with pasta?"

Mei Niang nodded: "Everyone likes it, don't use it if you like pure umami, Master Hou can try it, it's delicious, but a little sour and a little spicy!"

Xu Junying picked up a trace and put it into his mouth, frowning: "Is this a bit spicy? It's too spicy! How can you eat it?"

Mei Niang saw that he was inhaling so hotly, and smiled so much that her eyes were bent, she picked up a candied fruit from the fruit plate and put it on his plate, let him suck it, and said: "This is called spicy cabbage. The kitchen brews this I put too much chili in one batch, but many people in the house love to eat it. Didn’t you see that the old lady wants a plate for every meal? The second wife can also eat it, even the younger sisters like to eat some.”

Xu Junying chewed the candied dates slowly, and the spicy taste disappeared in his mouth, feeling strange: "The sweetness can actually eliminate the spicy taste!"

Mei Niang said with a smile: "Sweet taste can make spicy, I just know this, I only know sweet taste can dilute salty taste before."

"Someone told you?"

"Yes, a friend, she..."

Mei Niang paused, it's not easy to tell him about Lin Runan's hobbies, right?Eat salty ones and eat spicy ones, eat spicy ones and eat sweet ones.

Seeing that she was only halfway through her sentence, Xu Junying didn't ask any more questions, and just lowered her head and finished the noodles by herself.

Cui Xi Cui Si made warm water and hot tea to wash her hands and mouth, Cui Lian asked the little girl to come in to clean up the dishes and wipe the table, Xu Junying pointed to the two brocade boxes put aside, looked at Mei Niang and said: "I saw the queen's reward, and she asked the servant to bring it to me, and she added a sentence: There are two copies, no distinction is made. I asked why there are two copies, and the father-in-law said that the wife will understand!"

Mei Niang thought for a while, and decided not to talk about Lin Runan. The emperor and the empress are so affectionate, so they may not know who the empress's girlfriends are from the beginning. She didn't tell him the reason until she pleaded for Lin Changqing, saying that the case has brought her friends down. Lin Runan, the emperor's permission is only a matter of one word, maybe it's over if you promise, don't take this matter to heart, no matter how good Xu Junying and the emperor have a good relationship, he won't know if the emperor doesn't tell him, then There's no need to say it out, I don't want Xu Junying to know that there is another friendship between himself and the queen.

Mei Niang said: "I was thinking about it too, the queen's reward is too grand!"

Xu Junying couldn't ask anything, even though she was curious, she had no choice but to give up, the two were relatively speechless, and they sat for a while, Mei Niang asked Cuixi to bring tea, Xu Junying drank a cup of tea, said to rest, and got up Back to the east courtyard.

Mei Niang also quickly slipped off the bed, went into the inner room, and went to bed. Tomorrow is not unknown, and things are full of arrangements. Get up early to watch Heng Er go to Jinhua Hall to attend Ziyun Hall, and finish her "homework" so that she can run out of Xu Mansion and go to Come on, let's go to Cen's house. I want to see that king of Qi. Just thinking about it gives me a headache!

Cyclamen at noon is overcrowded, and there are no empty seats on the first to fourth floors.

Lu Xiangfeng accompanied Meiniang, who had changed into apricot-red men's clothes, out of the back hall. As soon as he walked to the middle of the hall, he heard a shout: "Qin Er!"

She was so frightened that her legs went weak for a while, and she looked for the reputation. There was a seat by the fence on the second floor. It was indeed King Qi sitting there crookedly, pointing a finger at her, with gloomy eyes, but no special expression on his face. .

Mei Niang raised her hand and made a bow to him, then turned to Lu Xiangfeng and asked, "Why do you let this man sit there? Is there no private room?"

Lu Xiangfeng wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: "The inn has something to take care of. I have been in the back all morning. I don't know when His Royal Highness Qi Wang came! He always comes to the inn these days sooner or later. Take a look, I followed Miss Lin's instructions, and only said that you went out to visit an elder, and he still came. Every time he came, he would bring someone with him, and if he couldn't sit in the private room, he would sit outside. Come out and sit casually, don't take special care of you, just say that you are not a guest, let me go and greet other guests!"

Mei Niang raised her head and looked at King Qi again: "What is he not a guest? Don't you take his money? Shouting in public and making people stop doing business? Hateful!"

Frightened by her words, Lu Xiangfeng was anxious, and before he could say anything, he quickly covered her face with his hands, as if this could block her voice so that no one could hear her.

Mei Niang tilted her head: "What are you doing?"

Lu Xiangfeng said: "Girl, be careful what you say, this kind of words will make people listen, but... it's a crime!"

Meiniang laughed aloud: "He would have talked about my crimes long ago, but in fact he is not that scary, you just wait on him and don't let him get angry!"

After finishing speaking, she asked Lu Xiangfeng to do the work by herself. She imitated the movements of the men, flicked her clothes, and walked upstairs.

Going up to the second floor and walking to King Qi, Meiniang was stunned. She expected that King Qi was not alone, but she didn't expect that there were so many people beside him!

Apart from Zhang Jingyun, Lingxuzi, and Lin Runan who was disguised as a man, sitting around the table was Xu Junying!

This seat is completely hidden behind a row of carved partitions. Sitting here, you can see the downstairs. From the gate to the hall, to the stage, you can see everything at a glance, but the people downstairs can't see the situation behind the partition. Just now, King Qi should be After seeing her, he ran to sit in the unobstructed space, and deliberately called out to her with that voice.

Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi looked at her calmly, Xu Junying's eyes could not distinguish any meaning, after King Qi glanced at her, he poured the wine himself, Lin Runan stomped suddenly, King Qi's wine overflowed, he glared She glanced at Lin Runan: "Move again, go sit in the private room!"

Lin Runan dragged her voice and said, "I don't have that kind of luck, and I can't bear it either!"

"You!" King Qi's face changed slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Meiniang again: "What kind of friends do you have? You are like an old maple ball, and you can stab people wherever you put it!"

"I, I'm Old Maple Ball?"

Lin Runan was annoyed, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Offending King Qi didn't have any good results. She was getting impatient with being disturbed by King Qi these days.

"If only I were the old maple ball, I can stab whoever I like!" She said angrily.

Mei Niang smiled at Lin Runan, she didn't know what they were referring to as the old maple ball, if King Qi used it to describe Lin Runan's temperament, it should be a thorn in the side.

King Qi looked at her: "What are you laughing at? Everyone laughs when you see them, and you and shopkeeper Lu are laughing so happily, but you don't want to see me! Tell me, where have you been these few days? You only said to rest for two days, but let it go." Leave me alone for five or six days, what kind of master are you?"

Although Mei Niang was wearing a mask, it was somewhat unnatural to face Xu Junying at such a close distance. She leaned towards Lin Runan as much as possible, looked carefully at the diners around, and found that the nearby tables seemed to be filled with people from King Qi. Separated King Qi's table from the diners outside, those tall and burly guards were not very quiet, eating, drinking and talking about something, and didn't pay attention to their movements.She bowed slightly to salute King Qi, and said:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. Recently, one of my elders was unwell, so I went to visit him. I have confessed... I have told Mr. Lin to tell you about this matter!"

While speaking, he and Lin Runan looked at each other, Lin Runan raised his chin at King Qi and raised his eyebrows, which meant naturally: Do you hear me?I didn't lie to you, did I?
King Qi snorted: "You don't take my words seriously, do you? I told you not to play this trick with me again. The punishment last time was not over yet, and this time it's coming again. Do you know how many times I ran to Cen's house? Tell me, how will you be punished?"

Meiniang's eyes glanced at Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi, lowered her eyes, and said, "I didn't do it on purpose last time, so this time? It stands to reason that His Highness can't punish me!"

The corner of King Qi's lips twitched: "Tell me, why can't I punish you?"

"Your Highness also said just now that I am your master! I will be your master for a day..."

King Qi sat up straight and raised his hand to stop her: "Stop!"

A smile appeared on Zhang Jingyun's face, he raised his glass to Lingxuzi and Xu Junying and said, "Come on, the three of us have a drink!"

Lin Runan laughed at first, then raised her eyes to look at Meiniang, she couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't stop giggling.

King Qi stared at her viciously: "Shut up!"

"You can't treat me like this, I'm your master's peer!" Lin Runan avoided his knife-like gaze: "Actually, that's not what she said next!"

King Qi looked at Meiniang: "How do you say it?"

Mei Niang is serious: "Being a teacher for one day does not mean being a teacher for a lifetime. Everyone will have a strength that others lack. We can learn from each other and can be each other's masters!"

"That's about the same." Qi Wang waved his hand: "You choose yourself, at least give me an explanation!"

Mei Niang glanced at the table, and reached out to pick up Lin Runan's cup: "I offer a glass of wine to Your Highness, you can do whatever you want, I'll do it!"

King Qi watched her cover her face with her sleeves, finished the wine, and said, "That's it?"

Mei Niang said: "What else?"

King Qi pointed to Xu Junying, Zhang Jingyun, and Lingxuzi, and said: "They are all my acquaintances. This is Marquis Weiyuan, this is Young Master Zhang, and this Young Master Xia. Let each one toast!"

Meiniang looked at him, and gritted her teeth secretly: "Your sister, you're going to be my wine girl!"

Cursing inwardly, Lin Runan had already poured the wine, stood up and said, "I'll stand up and wait for Mr. Cen..."

King Qi knocked the table lightly: "Sit down! No matter how much you have to do, I will lock you into the private room!"

Lin Runan looked at the door of the private room on the right, moved her lips, and sat down obediently.

Mei Niang also glanced over there curiously, why was Lin Runan afraid of going to the private room, and what was in it?
Seeing that Meiyan was interested in Yajian, King Qi felt a little uncomfortable, and said in a deep voice, "Cen Meimei, drink your wine!"
