Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 6

With a smile, Murong Xue handed Yeluyan a pair of cloisonné enamel and ivory chopsticks to Yeluyan, but he didn't take it, and took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his sleeve that he never left.

Murong Xue's smile froze for a moment. In her heart, the silver chopsticks were tools for drug testing. Could it be that he was afraid of poisoning himself?Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and a little unhappiness just flashes in my heart.She immediately convinced herself that his defensiveness meant he was mature and stable, which was an advantage.

She looked at him helplessly, admiring in her heart, he even looks so good-looking when he eats, only such an elegant man can match her elegant and beautiful dishes.

Yeluyan unceremoniously tasted the twelve dishes, put down his chopsticks, and simply said: "It's okay."

These two words are really far from what Murong Xue had expected in her heart, and she was so wronged and disappointed that she couldn't even hold back her smile.

In order to prepare this table of dishes, since last night, she began to design the menu, got up early in the morning to prepare, and worked all morning to complete the twelve dishes.Then he hurriedly took a bath with fragrant soup, and put on new clothes smelled by Lan Xiang, so as not to get smokey on his body, he was busy fighting like a war, just to get a compliment from him, and to surprise him again.However, he just said that it was okay.

Yuan Chenglie couldn't bear to look at Murongxue's disappointed little face, and really wanted to reveal Yeluyan's identity.It's not that you're not doing well, girl, it's really that this person who has been fed up with rich clothes and delicacies since the day he was born, and who is tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas, a person who is okay is already a great evaluation.

Compassionate and sympathetic, he hurriedly cheered: "That's great, Yuan has never eaten such a delicious dish."

Before he finished speaking, a glance swept over, and Yeluyan gave him a meaningful look, why, do you think the food of the palace is not good?
Yuan Chenglie lowered his head, and silently swallowed the compliment he had finally come up with.

Although Yeluyan didn't give a high evaluation, he ate a lot.When Murong Xue saw that the whole bowl of pearl rice in front of him was empty, she couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and immediately added another bowl for him with her own hands.This shows that her craftsmanship is still good, so her self-confidence immediately recovered by [-]%.

After eating, Baizhi Furong cleared the dishes and chopsticks from the table, and Peilan Dingxiang brought mint tea for everyone to rinse their mouths.At this time, the warm afternoon sun slanted into the flower hall, and the quiet orchid fragrance wafted from the purple gold incense burner.

Murong Xue cleaned her hands, turned her head and said with a smile, "Let me make tea for Brother Ye."

Yeluyan showed a surprised expression: "Can you make tea?"

Murong Xue immediately showed a "of course" smile, self-confidence is the most indispensable thing in her body.Since the culinary skills did not amaze him, let him be amazed by something else.Anyway, she knows a lot of things, and she is no worse than those ladies in the capital.She knew that he was from the capital city, so today's "invitation" that the drunken man didn't mean to drink was well prepared, just to make him look at her with admiration, and not to underestimate her, a girl from the county.

Ding Xiang and Pei Lan brought the tea making tools and put them on the red sandalwood table.

After Murong Xue washed her hands, she first took out the tea cake and roasted it on the gold-plated double-eared stove.

Although Yi County is a small county, but because Murong Lin practiced medicine everywhere, he has a lot of knowledge, and he loves his only daughter like the palm of his hand. Murong Xue wanted to learn something, but Murong Lin never stopped him. Someone came to teach.Murong Xue is talented and intelligent, and she can learn what she wants to learn as soon as she learns it, but she doesn't like female celebrities.

To her, making tea is just a piece of cake.

Yeluyan didn't expect Murong Xue's tea skills because of her well-cooked dishes. Sometimes, it is more difficult to cook a pot of good tea than a table of good dishes, so he leisurely shook his folding fan , waiting for her to make a fool of herself.But after looking at it for a while, he put away his folding fan, and his eyes couldn't help falling on her wrist as white as snow and her fingertips as slender as jade.

When making tea, Murong Xue's every move naturally exuded a touch of elegance, a little more dignified and elegant than usual, more bright and moving.The reason why she made tea for Yeluyan was precisely because she felt that making tea could best reflect a woman's taste and beauty.

She must present herself most perfectly in the shortest possible time and make him fall in love with her as quickly as possible. This is her expectation. She just wants to find a good husband and grow old with her.She didn't want to be selected into the palace and become the birth tool of the 62-year-old emperor, and then be trapped in that golden cage for the rest of her life.

She put the roasted tea cakes into a tea grinder and ground them into tea powder, then sifted them carefully in a tea basket, then boiled the spring water that Artest had brought from the mountain early in the morning, added an appropriate amount of salt, and waited for the second boil At this time, scoop out a spoonful of boiling water and put it in another bowl, then stir it in the boiling water with a bamboo clip, pour the powdered tea along the center of the whirlpool, and boil until it boils for three times, then pour in the spare water just scooped out , Stop the boiling and cultivate the flowers, and the tea will be considered ready.

The tea soup was poured into the cloisonné enamel lotus-leaf bin-ear statue, and she held it up with both hands and handed it to Yeluyan, smiling confidently and sweetly: "Brother Ye, have a taste." Then she poured another cup and offered it to Yuan Chenglie.

Yuan Chenglie was flattered: "Thank you."

Murong Xue smiled sweetly and looked at Yeluyan with full expectation. He lowered his eyelids, the arc of his eyes under his handsome brows was so beautiful, and his slight upward lift was like a spring light flying over a blade of grass.

It's a pity that when he raised his eyes to meet her expectant and enthusiastic eyes, he still said "it's okay" in a neutral way.

Yuan Chenglie didn't dare to praise Murong Xue's tea art rashly because of the lesson he had just learned, but in all fairness it was really good.

Murong Xue knew that today she met a picky master.She doesn't dare to say that she is a female celebrity, but she is very confident in her skill of making tea and cooking vegetables. Murong Lin has practiced medicine everywhere, and has eaten all kinds of dishes. With his true biography, the dishes are self-contained and have unique flavors.However, it couldn't catch his eyes, it was just a good one.

Seeing that the two great skills of cooking and tea did not amaze him, she wished to show off her other strengths one by one, but the time was not allowed, and the venue was not suitable, such as riding a horse and throwing a pot of water, she could do everything.

It's a pity that time was running out, and she couldn't develop a long-lasting relationship with him, so she decided to go straight to the point.

"Brother Ye, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

Is this going to be a showdown? Yeluyan smiled: "Okay."

Murong Xue led him out of the flower hall, bypassed the small bridge and flowing water in the garden, and arrived under the pear blossom trees.

A few petals of fallen flowers fell from the tree and flew to his shoulders. He flicked his sleeve casually, and the petals floated into the stream.Murong Xue's heart skipped a beat, she had never felt that a falling flower fell so gracefully, just because it passed through his hands.

She thought full of admiration, if she could join hands with him for the rest of her life, she would be willing even if her hair turned gray at this moment.

"Brother Ye, I invite you to dinner and tea today because I have something to discuss."

"Girl, please speak."

"Brother Ye, do you know why I eloped with my cousin that day?"
