To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 212 Fragrance

   Wei Han walked aimlessly, picked a wild flower casually, and looked down at it.

  The flowers are beautiful.

  Beautiful flowers do match beautiful people.

  Thinking of the scene seen in the forest, the young man holding the flowers seemed to be reminded.

  Maybe he can also send some flowers to Miss Luo as a thank you gift, maybe she will like it.

  In front of the continuous golden tent, bonfires and iron pots were built on large open spaces to prepare for the celebration after the return of the hunters.

  In front of the tent where Sister Luo Sheng was resting, large chunks of skewered wild boar and venison had already started to smell fragrant. Occasionally, fat dripped into the fire, and a strong fragrance came out.

   There is a small iron pot beside it, and the white gas comes out along the pores of the pot lid, bringing out the aroma, and I don't know what is stewed for a while.

  Sheng Saburo squatted between the barbecue and the stew pot, salivating.

   "Xiu Gu, is the barbecue ready?"

   "Cousin, is the braised rabbit meat ready?"

   "Xiu Gu, is roasted wild boar better, or roasted rabbit?"

  …

  Compared to Sheng Sanlang's noisy, Luo Chen is much quieter.

  The young man had a white jade-like face, with his hands folded, his expression cold, and he didn't fit in with the lively atmosphere.

  Sheng Saburo was bored waiting, and grinned at Luo Chen: "Cousin, are you still angry? It doesn't matter if you didn't hunt anything, didn't your cousin hunt two deer, and one of them is yours, okay?"

  When the boy heard this, he became even angrier.

  What does it mean to count him?

  He needs to be pitied like this?

Ah.

   Patted Luo Chen with one hand, almost knocked him down because of his strength.

   "What are you doing?" Luo Chen glared at the black-faced boy.

   "Young Master Luo, don't be sad, I will teach you how to archery when you are full."

  Luo Chen stared at the black-faced boy for a moment, wanting to pooh him.

  Luo Sheng had long said that he would teach him, but with this black boy?

   Thinking about riding the horse for several laps full of fighting spirit, but finally hitting nothing, but the black boy in front of him hit a badger, Luo Chen's expression became even worse.

   Hei kid did it on purpose, so many deer and rabbits were running, but he wanted to hit a badger.

   This is to prove to Luo Sheng that he is not lying, has he really hit Badger before?

  The boy subconsciously searched for Luo Sheng out of the corner of his eye.

   It was agreed to teach him archery, could it be to coax him?

  Luo Sheng seemed to have a sense, and glanced at Luo Chen.

   "Luo Chen, Xiaoqi, come here."

  Luo Chen remained reserved and did not respond, when he saw the black boy suddenly rushing to Luo Sheng's side.

  Luo Chen: "..."

  He walked over with a dark face and asked, "What are you doing?"

  Luo Sheng took a bunch of grilled venison from Xiuyue and handed it to him: "Eat it."

  The boy took the venison with a sullen face.

   If you are angry, you are angry, but you still have to eat barbecue.

   "I'll teach you archery later."

  Hearing this sentence, the boy's condensed eyebrows and eyes suddenly softened, and he felt that his performance was too obvious and a little embarrassing, so he bit a piece of sizzling barbecue meat hard.

   "Xiaoqi eats too." Luo Sheng handed Xiaoqi a skewer of barbecued meat.

  Luo Chen frowned.

  Have hands and feet, can't hold it by yourself?

  He is different, he is the younger brother.

  A clear voice sounded: "Miss Luo, can you give me a string?"

  Luo Chen looked up, the corners of his mouth pursed.

  King Kaiyang is here again.

  The young man wanted to say something sarcastic, but suddenly remembered the ten thousand taels of silver, and silently swallowed the words.

  Luo Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Han. Thinking of the man's sense of humor, he said lightly: "The venison and wild boar are all roasted. Please feel free to eat whatever you want, my lord."

   Wei Han raised the corners of his lips slightly.

  Although I don't know why, Miss Luo seems to have a good attitude...

  Thinking about it this way, I suddenly gained confidence.

  He picked up a skewer of deliciously roasted barbecued meat, and asked what was on his mind: "Miss Luo, are you ready to call Hua Elbow?"

  The boy who was wary of the man who coveted his sister twitched the corner of his mouth.

  Luo Chen looked at the serious-looking young man in a daze.

  Maybe he misunderstood, this person is not looking for the elder sister, but the beggar Elbow.

  He had heard from his third cousin many times that on the way to Beijing, Luo Sheng made a beggar's elbow, which was so delicious that even bandits only wanted to rob the elbow.

   I don’t know where such a stupid bandit came from.

  Uh, Third Cousin also said that he met King Kaiyang by chance at that time, and King Kaiyang and Shi Sanhuo had been thinking about Beggar Elbow at that time.

  Luo Chen looked at Wei Han coldly, the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.

  Begger Elbow is more important than his sister?

   Isn’t this person stupid? After marrying his sister, wouldn’t he be able to eat beggar’s elbow every day?

  The young man moved his lips, wanting to speak sarcastically, but swallowed the words again.

  He didn't want to remind this idiot.

   "It should be ready." Luo Sheng said as he picked up a small shovel.

   "Cousin, let me do this kind of rough work." Sheng Sanlang snatched the shovel from Luo Sheng, and quickly dug out the four hard and dark things.

  A curious voice sounded: "How do you eat this?"

   "You have to break it open to eat it." Sheng Sanlang picked up the stones that he had prepared long ago and pounded the mud shell vigorously, and replied casually.

   After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and raised his head subconsciously.

   "I have seen Your Highness." Everyone saluted Wei Qiang one after another.

   "There is no need to be too polite." Wei Qiang waved his hand and looked at Wei Han, "I didn't expect Uncle Wang to be here."

   "Yes." Wei Han responded lightly, feeling vigilant.

  The crown prince came over while picking up the meal, obviously to grab the meal.

   At this time, the ugly mud shell has been knocked open, and the wrapped lotus leaves are uncovered, and a strange fragrance bursts out immediately.

   "What is this?" Wei Qiang couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips.

  He thinks he is not a person who is greedy for appetite, but this fragrance is too attractive.

  Especially when the stomach is still empty.

   "Calling Elbow." It was Wei Han who spoke.

   Wei Qiang looked at him blankly.

  King Kaiyang is usually reticent, why did he answer this question?

   Wei Han didn't care what the cheeky nephew thought, and said calmly: "I beat the wild boar, I peeled the wild boar skin, and I chopped off the elbow and asked Miss Luo to make it."

   Wei Qiang understood immediately.

  King Kaiyang means to let him not worry about it?

  Looking at the young man with indifferent eyebrows and eyes, Wei Qiang felt a little annoyed in his heart.

  Although King Kaiyang is an elder, he is a prince after all, what's wrong with giving him an elbow?

   It can be seen from this that King Kaiyang didn't take his prince seriously at all.

  However, although he was annoyed in his heart, it was hard to show it on his face.

  Father respects King Kaiyang very much, if it is rumored that he is at odds with King Kaiyang, it will be harmful rather than beneficial to him.

  Suppressing his anger, Wei Qiang smiled slightly at Luo Sheng: "Miss Luo, my guards also hit wild boars, can you send them to make a beggar's elbow?"

  Luo Sheng shook his head: "The elbow needs to be marinated in advance, and it won't be in time for the meal when it's delivered."

   Wei Qiang's smile froze.

   Just let him lose face like this?

  The girl smiled at the young man in scarlet clothes: "The prince said that as long as there are two elbows, let the prince share one of the remaining two beggar elbows."

   Wei Han nodded expressionlessly.

  Knowing this, he said that all four elbows are needed.

   I went out to eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles in the morning. I didn’t expect the price to be the same as beef noodles!
