When he saw that she had stopped, he looked at the water and then at his hands. He hesitated for a long time, and his brows almost wrinkled. He knew that she wanted to wash her hands, so he said, "Let me help you."
"Help? How?" Xie Yi looked back at him with a smile, somewhat confused.
"Wait for me for a while." He walked over, lifted up the hem of his robe, squatted down, and then brought some water with a lotus leaf. It wasn't much, but it was enough for washing hands.
She was stunned, she didn't expect him to do such a thing.
"Wash it."
"Oh." She came to her senses, then put her hand in and washed it carefully.
The water in the mountain stream is very cold, which makes me feel very comfortable and cool in this summer. After washing like this, it seems that all the dirt has been washed away, and my hands feel refreshed.
After she finished washing, he poured the water back into the stream: "Let's go."
Seeing that she was in a daze, he said again: "Thank you, girl, let's go."
"Oh well."
Xie Yixiao came back to his senses, and then went back with him along the way he came. He ran over when he came, but he didn't have the intention to look around. When he came back, he just enjoyed the scenery all the way back.
The two talked and laughed, and got along very harmoniously. When they talked about something interesting, they both laughed.
They looked like a man and woman meeting for a trip.
When they returned to the pavilion, they saw Xie Yu and Lu Zhui sitting at the edge of the table. Xie Yu was lying on the table, like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, babbling.
"Why haven't you come back... Why haven't you come back yet..."
"If I don't come back, I'm going to look for him..."
"Rong Jiu, you bastard, I can't explain this..."
He just lay on the table, muttering quietly, while Lu Zhui sat aside and ignored him at all.
"Rong Jiu, you bastard, look back at me..."
When Xie Yixiao heard this, he couldn't help but cough slightly, telling him to stop.
When Xie Yu heard this, he sat up immediately. He turned his head and saw that the two of them were back. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Little aunt, are you back?"
Seeing him like this, Xie Yi smiled: "Looking at you like this, I thought I was kidnapped by a monster."
Xie Yu glanced at Rong Ci with squinted eyes, and then said: "It's more terrifying than being kidnapped by a monster. I'm worried that you will be kidnapped by the mountain king to be the wife of the stronghold. The mountain king is so fierce and evil, it's really scary."
Xie Yixiao naturally heard him criticizing Rong Ci and thought that he was really brave. She looked at Rong Ci and saw that he just glanced at Xie Yu without saying anything, so she said: "Okay,
I’ll be back now.”
"By the way, where is Ming Xin Ming Jing?"
Xie Yudao: "They went to pick flowers with the people in Zhuangzi. Didn't you say you wanted flowers? Just let them take people to pick some and take them back when they get back."
"Going to pick flowers?" Xie Yixiao walked to the other side of the pavilion, leaned on the railing and looked at the flower field. She indeed saw people busy in the flower field. Seeing this, she felt a little regretful that she could not go by herself.
Xie Yu pointed to the people not far away: "That's them over there."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded, then came back and sat down. Lu Zhui put the suitcase aside and put it up again: "Miss Xie, see which one you like to eat. The young master personally ordered me to order this. You
Have a taste.”
Xie Yu snorted. He wanted to eat it before, but Lu Zhui said that Rong Ci ordered it for Xie Yixiao and refused to give it up. He didn't believe it. Does Rong Ci still have this intention?
Xie Yixiao was surprised. She thought it was prepared by someone below, but she didn't know that he had someone prepare it.
She smiled and said, "I want to try it. I happen to be a little hungry. You should also eat some."
Rong Ci sat down on the side, took out the teacup inside, and then poured tea: "It's best to prepare hot tea when you are out. The tea is herbal tea to relieve the heat. You can drink some, but it's not recommended to drink too much."
Xie Yixiao twisted a piece of pastry and ate it with herbal tea. He thought it was good: "It's pretty good. The pastry is soft and glutinous and it goes well with tea. I don't know where I bought it."
"Ordered at Fan Yue Lou. If you like it, I'll ask someone to order more in the future."
Xie Yu was eating a piece of pastry and almost choked: "Fan Yue Lou? Are you ordering snacks from Fan Yue Lou?"
Rong Ci raised his eyes and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Xie Yu had a heart attack: "No, I just think you are awesome. How can ordinary people order things from Fan Yue Lou?"
Fan Yue Tower was the number one restaurant in the Imperial City in the previous dynasty, and its reputation was unparalleled throughout the world. Speaking of restaurants, no one knows that Fan Yue Tower, the number one restaurant in the world, fell into the hands of the new dynasty after the establishment of the new dynasty.
People speculate that it is either in the hands of the royal family or the four princes, but there is no evidence of who it is.
But no one who enters Fan Yue Tower dares to show off his status.
The Xie family guessed that it might be in the hands of the emperor. Places such as Fan Yue Tower were said to be worth a lot of money every day, so they were naturally used to fill the national treasury.
There are probably only a few owners who have the ability to order things from Fan Yue Lou.
Xie Yixiao handed him a piece of pastry: "Eat quickly, it won't stop your mouth, right?"
Although Xie Yu was a little curious, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only eat the pastries slowly.
A few people worked in the pavilion for a while and ate half of the food they brought. Then they heard someone coming to report that if Zhuangzi had cooked food, Ming asked them to go over and eat.
The group had no choice but to go back to eat. I don't know what Mrs. Rong Guogong and Mrs. Xie said. They were both very happy. They heard their laughter as soon as they entered the yard.
Seeing that they were back, Mrs. Ming asked the people in the village to prepare food, and they all ate together at the same table. From now on, everyone became relatives, and there were not many people, and they were not so particular.
Shanju’s delicious dishes are all home-cooked dishes. The fish and shrimps raised by Zhuangzi, the chickens raised, the vegetables grown, the fresh bamboo shoots pulled back this morning, and some delicacies from the mountains are also put together. A table full of twelve
A dish.
Duke Rongguo said: "Our family doesn't pay much attention to food. We only think that eating enough home-cooked dishes and drinking enough is a happy thing in life. Mrs. Xie doesn't dislike it."
Mrs. Xie said: "What, let me tell you, these home-cooked dishes are really real. Many of them are just to look good, but they may not taste delicious, but they are just to look good."
"That's that." Mrs. Rong Guogong laughed loudly, "Come on, eat more."
Ming said: "Why don't we raise a glass and have a drink? There is still green plum wine brewed last year in the village. A good day like today is really rare."
Mrs. Rong Guogong smiled and said: "Then let someone get it quickly. It should be a drink."
So Ming asked someone to fetch green plum wine and poured a cup for everyone present.
Duke Rongguo said: "Then let's raise a toast and drink together today, come on..."
"Drink together, drink together..."
Let's drink a cup together, first respect the heaven and the earth, then respect the floating life, and then respect the fate of this life with you.
Outside the courtyard, the wind blows across the mountains, white clouds linger, and flowers fall.
