Grandma Luo quickly took the noodles and put them into the pot. As the noodles rolled several times in the boiling water, Grandma Luo picked up a large colander and took the noodles out of the boiling water, scooping out a spoonful of the thick consistency.
Bone soup, two slices of roasted and crispy rabbit meat, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onion, and a bowl of simple but fragrant noodles is officially served.
As soon as the noodles were served, Princess Xiao hurriedly came to the noodle bowl and took a deep breath with her eyes closed, "It smells so good!"
Seeing Princess Xiao's appearance, Aunt Luo curled her lips and smiled, and said hurriedly, "If Princess Xiao likes to eat, I will give you another bowl later!"
"Okay! Mother, I want to eat steamed buns too!" Princess Xiao was not polite at all. After hearing what Mother Luo said, she immediately bent her eyes and responded.
"Okay, the buns should be almost cooked by now. I will go and get a basket of buns for the princess!" Aunt Luo said with a smile. After that, she blessed everyone, then turned around and left.
.
Soon, steamed buns, rabbit meat, broth and a few simple side dishes were brought out.
If it were placed in the capital, these dishes would not be appealing to these young men, but now...
It would be nice to have something hot to eat in the wilderness after a long day's journey.
"Well, this rabbit tastes good! Lu Er, hurry up and shoot two more so that I can take one back to my mother to try." Xiao Mubei picked up a piece of rabbit meat with his chopsticks and laughed while eating it.
He said to Lu Zhan.
They all say that you should eat without talking and sleep without talking, but now that we are outside, we don’t pay so much attention to it.
Of course, Xiao Mubei is not a person who cares about these things!
But Lu Zhan seemed not to have heard Xiao Mubei's words. He lifted up his sleeves, took a piece of rabbit meat from the plate, and then naturally put it into Xie Wu's bowl.
Looking at the brightly colored piece of rabbit meat in the bowl, Xie Wu couldn't help but be startled.
But Xiao Mubei suddenly smiled at this moment. He smiled and winked at Lu Zhan and said, "Lu Er, I've been brothers with you for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen you pick up food for you. It's a pity."
…”
People don’t appreciate your kindness!
After hearing Xiao Mubei's words, everyone looked up at Lu Zhan, especially Princess Xiao, who looked at Lu Zhan as if she wanted to eat him alive.
Even Xie Xu, who was obsessed with scratching his bones, couldn't help but raise his head and look at Lu Zhan curiously.
Lu Zhan seemed not to notice. With a flick of his wrist, he picked up another piece of rabbit meat and put it into Xie Wu's bowl. At the end, he did not forget to smile and said to her, "What else do you want to eat?"
Xie Wu looked at the extra piece of rabbit meat in the bowl, and suddenly she didn't know whether she should eat it as if nothing had happened, or push the rabbit meat aside...
"Lu Er, I want to eat rabbit meat!" Just when Xie Wu was hesitant and didn't know what to do, Xiao Mubei's slightly playful voice rang out again. After saying that, he didn't forget to put his bowl to Lu Er.
Zhan pushed on the other side.
Lu Zhan curled his lips and glanced at Xiao Mubei with his narrow eyes, "Why, you don't have any hands?"
After hearing what Lu Zhan said, Xiao Mubei smiled instead of getting angry. He turned his eyes towards Xie Wu, raised his eyebrows at her and joked, "Miss Xie, have you grown your hands yet?" After that,
He didn't wait for Xie Wu to answer, then he raised his head and laughed to himself.
Listening to Xiao Mubei's laughter, Xie Wu pinched her chopsticks hard, and a hint of embarrassment flashed through her eyes.
But soon, Xiao Mubei's laughter stopped abruptly.
Because Lu Zhan suddenly moved his hand, a piece of rabbit meat flew into his mouth accurately.
"Ahem! Ahem!" Xiao Mubei turned around and covered his mouth while coughing with tears streaming down his face.
In order to enhance the flavor, when roasting rabbit meat, Grandma Luo specially sprinkled a handful of cumin powder.
But Prince Xiao's embarrassment did not attract sympathy from everyone. Princess Xiao rolled her eyes at him, but Xie Xu went even further. He looked at Lu Zhan with admiration and said, "Brother Lu, you are so awesome.
!Can you teach me this move?"
Lu Zhan curled his lips and smiled, and just as he was about to answer, a hearty voice suddenly came from behind.
"Which move do you want to learn?"
In the hazy night, two men suddenly walked towards the crowd side by side. One was Xie Zheng, who had just returned from inspection, and the other was Lu Shen, the grandson of Duke Dingguo.
"Dad, you're back!" As soon as he saw Xie Zheng, Xie Shi immediately stood up and ran towards him.
Xie Zheng smiled and raised his hand to caress the top of Xie Xu's head. He smiled and said, "I heard your voice from so far away. How unruly!"
Xie Xu scratched his head, and then stuck out his tongue at Xie Zheng with some embarrassment.
At this time, Lu Zhan also stood up and bowed respectfully to Xie Zheng, "This junior has met the crown prince."
"This junior has also met the crown prince." Xiao Mubei, who had regained his composure, hurriedly followed Lu Zhan and raised his hands to bow to Xie Zheng.
Xiao Muqing also stood up and bowed to Xie Zheng.
Xie Zheng laughed, "Sit down, please, don't disturb your fun just because I'm here. I heard from Ah Shen that you hunted rabbits and had a dinner here, so I took leave from General Song and came back to join in."
Lively." Xie Zheng said as he walked over to Xie Wu and sat down.
Lu Shen raised his eyebrows and smiled at Lu Zhan, and then he also sat down.
Seeing this, Grandma Luo hurriedly stepped forward and added two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Xie Zheng looked at the several dishes on the table, especially the two large plates of rabbit meat, and suddenly felt his appetite was whetted. He said, "It would be great if there was wine at this time!"
After Xie Wu heard what he said, she still didn't understand. She glanced at Mi Yue, and Mi Yue bowed towards her and stepped aside.
"Second Young Master Lu, I heard that you won the Xie Yuan at the age of sixteen? At the age of seventeen, you took the exam and entered the first class, and your Majesty kissed you and awarded you the third prize?" Xie Zheng looked at Lu Zhan and said with a smile.
After hearing Xie Zheng's words, Lu Zhan quickly stood up and bowed to Xie Zheng, "Your Majesty, please call me A Zhan! It was just a fluke that I was younger... When I was taking the exam that year, two of the popular candidates failed due to accidents.
I took part in the exam, so the younger generation took advantage of it."
"Hypocritical!" As soon as Lu Zhan finished speaking, Xiao Mubei curled up his lips and spat out two words.
Xie Wu, who had been silent for a long time, finally showed her first smile tonight after hearing Prince Xiao's words.
"Miss Xie, you think my two-word comment is just right!" Xiao Mubei smiled at Xie Wu again.
"Of course Prince Xiao thinks I'm hypocritical. After all, for a person who can't even memorize the Three-Character Sutra, as long as you are a literate person, you will think they are hypocritical." Just when Xiao Mu Bei was feeling proud, Lu Zhan's deep voice
It rang slowly.
"Okay, okay, let's eat!" Seeing that something was wrong, Xie Zheng hurriedly smiled and said to smooth things over.
Just at this time, Mi Yue brought wine.
"Come on, let's have a drink!" Xie Zheng smiled and took the lead in picking up the wine bottle and pouring himself a glass of wine.
As soon as Xie Zheng said these words, others also raised their glasses.
After a few glasses of wine, the men started chatting. Aunt Luo was afraid that there would not be enough food, so she quickly set up the pot and cooked some more side dishes.
Only Xie Wu felt a little exhausted after eating half a bowl of noodles and a bowl of hot bone soup, but several people at the table were still talking and laughing, and even Xiao Muqing was listening while holding the bowl.
It was very interesting, and she even added a word or two from time to time.
Seeing this posture, she was afraid that it would not break up for a while. Xie Wu was a little helpless. After whispering a few words to Xie Zheng, she quietly retreated from the table.
Xie Wu wanted to go back to the tent and sit for a while, but after taking a few steps, Sui Yu suddenly jumped out from the side and said, "Girl."
Looking at the broken jade that suddenly came out, Xie Wu smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you go hunting in the woods? Did you catch anything?"
Suiyu scratched her head and smiled, and said, "Girl, it's still early, how about my servant accompany you for a walk?"
Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and looked at her suspiciously.
"This slave has just eaten a little full, and wanted to go out for a walk, but Grandma Luo asked her to guard the girl." Suiyu covered her stomach and looked at Xie Wu with a troubled face.
Xie Wu glanced at Suiyu's belly, she chuckled, and finally said three words softly as Suiyu wished, "Lead the way!"
"Okay! Girl, I want to tell you that I found a creek by the forest today. How about I take you to the creek for a walk!" Suiyu guided Xie Wu and leaned into her ear.
Pan whispered.
Xie Wu glanced at Suiyu, her cold eyes glowing coldly against the moonlight.
At that moment, Sui Yu felt as if she was being pierced by eyes.
However, Xie Wu quickly retracted her gaze and said, "Lead the way!"
"Oh, okay!" Suiyu responded hurriedly, and then, other than leading the way, she didn't dare to say a single word.
The forest was surrounded by guards, and Xie Wu and Suiyu were immediately stopped as soon as they approached the forest.
Broiyu took out a small jade plaque from her arms. When those people saw the jade plaque, they immediately stepped aside.
"Girl, let's go!" Suiyu felt guilty when she met Xie Wu's cold gaze. Although she had already guessed that Xie Wu should know something, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
Fortunately, Xie Wu didn't poke Broken Jade. She didn't say anything. She raised her feet and walked along the path pointed by Broken Jade.
The moonlight above the head was blocked by the woods, and only a few thin strands fell lightly. A gust of autumn wind blew by, the leaves in the forest rustled, and a few crows were faintly heard.
Voice.
If it were a girl from another family, she would have been frightened to tears by this strange situation, but there was no expression on Xie Wu's face, and she didn't even pause in her steps.
When Suiyu looked at Xie Wu like this, she suddenly felt a sincere admiration in her heart!
Fortunately, not long after walking, a light appeared in front of us.
The cold moonlight spread down and fell into the sparkling stream. Two bonfires were lit beside the stream, and a few figures vaguely appeared beside the bonfire.
