The Possession of My Beloved
Chapter 18:
Although in addition to the plate of crab roe buns, Lian Lilan also carefully prepared a small cup of bird's nest soup and a plate of honey-flavored dried meat.
However, these delicate little snacks are delicious. After a few bites, the stomach will not be able to go down, and it is not as good as the big steamed buns with radish and radish made by Mama Li.
However, Cui Xingzhou politely left one on the plate, expressing fullness, and warmly praised his cousin's skill in cooking dim sum has improved a lot.
Lian Lilan’s cheeks were blushing, but she only said that there will be a chance in the future, and she will make some exquisite ones to send to her cousin.
She didn't mention her father's previous recommendation letter to her cousin, but talked about the Toffee's daily life in detail. Seeing that her cousin's smile had some sincerity, she got up and said goodbye with interest .
But when she was leaving, she looked at the half-old purse with incense hanging on Cui Xingzhou's waist, and said with a sweet heart, "This purse is not well embroidered with lily orchid. It's embarrassing for you to wear it all the time, cousin, and I'll take time out tomorrow to embroider a new look for my cousin..."
The purse around his waist was indeed the betrothal gift from his cousin when he got married.
To be honest, the embroidery work is really good. According to the matchmaker, it was embroidered by Miss Lian herself. So in order to express his gratitude to his cousin, he has been wearing it on his body.
As Cui Xingzhou said, he is a person who does not like to pursue new things. As long as you use something smoothly, you can keep using it.
As are the wallets, and so are the people. For his future wife, he didn't expect much, and he didn't expect that the proud needlework in the boudoir would be of great use. As long as the wife has a gentle and virtuous temperament, it is good that the maids do those jobs.
However, he always believed that the purse was filled with the tenderness of needles and threads sewed by Lian Lilan—until he rescued Liu Miantang.
Liu Miantang identified Cui Xingzhou as her fiance based on the purse on Cui Xingzhou's body.
However, Liu Miantang did not have the vanity of a lady of the boudoir. Hearing him ask about the purse, he honestly explained that although the purse was her dowry, it was not from her, but halfway through. When the dowry maid was sorting out the dowry list, she suddenly found that she was missing a purse, so she bought it from a foreign embroidery girl at the inn.
It is said that the embroiderer was invited by an official in Zhenzhou to do the dowry "substitute needle". Living like this is a tacit secret in Dayan's Gaomen's mansion.
Although the ladies of Gaomen are all known to be omnipotent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they occasionally have shortcomings. Embroidery girls who work as substitute needles abound. Most of them traveled abroad to make dowries on behalf of young ladies with poor needlework, and they did not want to be famous.
It is also a coincidence that this embroidery needle is about Lian's family. She was also lazy and tried to save trouble. She only thought that one was a bride who married in the capital, and the other was a local noble girl in Zhenzhou, and she probably couldn't be touched.
So the purse was sold to Liu Miantang at a high price. When I went to Lian's house in Zhenzhou again, when I asked the main family to choose the appearance, the same green grass orchid pattern was selected, and the embroidered mother sewed one like a gourd, which became a token of Lian Lilan's engagement.
It was precisely this kind of accident that made Liu Miantang identify the man wearing the half-used purse as her husband Cui Jiu.
When Cui Jiu saw that Miantang took the purse that Miss Lian gave him as his own, he was also a little surprised, and when he asked deeply, Miantang answered honestly.
This made Cui Jiu see clearly the secret vanity of cousin Lian.
However, he would not have paid attention to such trivial details. It is also human nature for a lady boudoir to pursue a good name.
But when Lian Lilan mentioned this issue today, he couldn't help but think, is it because his cousin is good at needlework, or did he hire an embroiderer who "represents needles"?
I was upset at first, but after being instructed by my uncle in the future, it made me even more bored.
After sending off the Lian brothers and sisters, Cui Xingzhou asked Mo Ru to prepare casual clothes. After changing them, he lightly dressed and walked along the dirt road outside the military camp, dissipating his mood in the countryside.
Zhenzhou built a lot of new farmland under his governance, and planted rice twice a year. The seedlings in the fields have grown tall.
The deliciousness of "June Yellow" can't be maintained for too long. When the shell becomes hard, the taste also changes.
The little servant was fascinated by the farmer who was looking at the pond and fishing for crabs. He immediately understood and ran to ask the farmer for the price.
Not long after, he bought two big crabs and asked excitedly: "My lord, do you want the barracks cook to steam the crabs for you at noon today?"
Cui Jiu thought about the rough cooking style of the barracks cook, and felt that the crab's deliciousness would definitely be let down, so he said, "Go back and call for a carriage, and go to Lingquan Town to eat at noon..."
When I arrived in Lingquan Town, I just found a restaurant and let the serious cooks take care of it, and it will be more delicious.
He didn't plan to go to the house on North Street.
However, the prince's calculations could not keep up with the changes. He found a remote restaurant in Lingquan Town, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he heard someone call out in surprise: "Husband!"
Cui Xingzhou looked back and saw a woman in a light smoke pleated skirt trotting over with surprise. The old servant Li's mother followed out of breath.
"I went to deliver meals to Mr. Chen just now. From a distance, I recognized that it was... my husband's carriage, but Mama Li insisted that it was not, and... she didn't let me come with me. I won't be able to get on the carriage at all!" Mian Tang was slightly panting because she had only run a few steps, her cheeks were crimson, making her pink neck even whiter.
Cui Xingzhou guessed that her old injury had flared up when she saw that she was halfway through and suddenly stopped talking.
I didn't know what happened to her at first, her hamstrings were broken. Although Zhao Quan continued for her, it was definitely impossible to reply like before.
Such an injury is most afraid of strenuous activities. At this time, she should be in pain.
Thinking this way, Cui Xingzhou stretched out his hand to stabilize her arm, lest she stumble and fall.
The jade arm that I started with will be very soft in this year, Cui Xingzhou unconsciously tightened his palm...
At this moment, Li's mother also chased after him, out of breath, knelt down to the prince and said: "Wang... boss, the old slave can't stop the lady, and she Sir please..."
Liu Miantang dared to recognize it on the street in the daytime, it really shouldn't be! Li's mother originally wanted the prince to convict. But halfway through his words, he saw King Huaiyang's meaningful eyes and immediately stopped his mouth so as not to reveal any flaws.
Mian Tang also relieved the pain at this time, because she was distracted by the pain just now, but did not pay attention to what Li's mother said, only asked in a weak voice: "Officer, you come back to town Why don't you go home? Are you going to eat at this restaurant?"
Speaking, she glanced at the two big caged crabs in the hands of the little servant Mo Ru.
Mo Ru has always been alert, and quickly lied for the master: "The owner knows that the wife loves crabs, so I went to the countryside to buy two cages myself, and I plan to let the restaurant make crab yellow buns, and then take them back to the house. eat…"
Liu Miantang really likes eating crabs. When she was not well, she shouted that she would eat crabs in autumn, but she was reprimanded by Li's mother, saying that the owner's money was tight, so it would be good to eat and drink at home , How can I have the money to buy crabs?
Since then, she has never asked her mother for food. Unexpectedly, the husband was thinking about himself and rushed to buy so many crabs.
She felt sweet in her heart, looked at Cui Xingzhou's handsome face, and said softly, "What are you doing with crab buns? The crab shells in June are soft, and it's delicious when stir-fried! I was in the street yesterday. I bought the self-brewed tempeh chili sauce from the neighborhood, just fried and eaten it, and saved money and let the restaurant earn it."
Cui Xingzhou originally wanted to pour his own drink, but the thought of leaning on the railing and contemplation completely turned into a soup.
He fixedly looked at Liu Miantang's unstoppable joyful eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly, "Since you like spicy crab, then fried to eat…”
So Cui Xingzhou helped Liu Miantang get on the carriage again and returned to the North Street house.
Only this time, Cui Xingzhou no longer concealed himself, but after getting off the carriage, he returned to support Miantang, and then, under the eyes of a group of neighbors who stretched their necks, helped Mrs. Miantang Get off the carriage.
There have been different opinions in the neighborhood about what kind of person Liu Miantang's official was. But generally they are all sluts.
Now that the sun is shining bright at noon, everyone can see the appearance of this Cui Guanren who is not doing his job properly.
My darling! No wonder such a coquettish lady willingly manages the business for him! It turned out to be such a tall and handsome man!
I saw Cui Guanren wearing a moon-colored long gown, wide shoulders and narrow waist, dark eyebrows, deep eyes, handsome, quiet temperament, he really didn't look like a businessman, if he was an official Someone believes it!
In short, such a man and Lady Liu are truly a match made in heaven, they are a perfect match!
Mother Yin was very enthusiastic and took the lead in saying to Liu Miantang, "Miss Cui, but your official is back? Would you like to come over and sit down, my freshly fried melon seeds taste delicious!"
Liu Miantang stood beside Cui Xingzhou, raised her voice deliberately, and showed off: "Don't sit down, the official went to the countryside to buy me crabs, and the meal was delayed, and I haven't eaten yet. !"
Speaking, she took the official's hand and went back to the house with a smile.
Neighbors always talk in private that her husband is a libertine. Today, my husband finally came back during the day, and he wanted them to see his dignified appearance. He was definitely not the unbearable person they said.
Cui Xingzhou also has his own abacus in his heart.
Liu Miantang stayed here for so long, but no one contacted her. Maybe...she was left behind by Lu Wen on purpose. It is very likely that the thief was tired of playing with the beautiful lady, and maliciously abandoned it.
In this case, he might as well make a big splash and reveal his traces, only accepting Liu Miantang as the outer chamber. That Lu Wen has been trying to find out his own truth. If he finds that the person next to him has become the new favorite of King Huaiyang, even if the love is no longer, he will definitely suspect that Liu Miantang will leak the secret to him, he will take care of him, and he will take action...
Thinking of Lu Wen's intention to approach Shi Yikuan and follow the path of good safety, Cui Xingzhou sneered in his heart - a thief wants to wear an official skin? See if he agrees!
The author has something to say:咩~~Miantang: My husband has been exposed~~~
