Chapter 251: Dandy and Romantic

Su Qianqian was daydreaming while Su Ye helped her tie a simple bun. She came out of the bedroom and went to the dining room, where she saw Qin Hanzhang, dressed in moon-white home clothes, sitting at the table waiting for him.

"My Lord, didn't you go to grandmother's house for dinner today?" Su Qianqian asked curiously, sitting down next to Qin Hanzhang.

"My grandmother told someone to tell you not to make any trouble and to send the meal to Tinglan Courtyard. Are you not going to take any portion for me?" Qin Hanzhang glanced at Su Qianqian and reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"That's not the case. I'm just worried about the Marquis' taste. After all, I'm a bit picky about food." Su Qianqian reached out to take Qin Hanzhang's bowl and served him soup herself. Su Mu and Shi Yan stood beside their respective masters and served the dishes.

Qin Hanzhang took a look at the dishes on the table. Although there was no shortage of green leafy vegetables in the kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion, there were indeed very few of them here. It turned out that Su Qianqian didn't like to eat green leafy vegetables.

"What's it matter if you're picky about food? I'm not picky about food." Qin Hanzhang replied in a low voice, picked up the bowl with his left hand and took a sip of soup, put the bowl down and picked up the chopsticks, looking at Su Qianqian a little embarrassedly.

"What's wrong?" Su Qianqian was eating and saw Qin Hanzhang looking at her without eating, so she asked in confusion.

"I can't use chopsticks with my left hand." Qin Hanzhang answered calmly, and then raised his right hand to pick up the chopsticks.

"Don't move, let Shi Yan..." Su Qianqian reached out and held Qin Hanzhang's right hand.

"Madam, the Marquis hates my service the most. He always says that I am clumsy and even punishes me when he is angry..."

Shi Yan hurriedly refused and deliberately spoke in a serious tone. Qin Hanzhang couldn't help but turn his head and glare at him, and he quickly shut up.

Su Qianqian went to look at the maids again. Except for Su Mu, they were all too busy to look up. She had no choice but to pick up the bowl, pick up the food and pass it to Qin Hanzhang's mouth: "Let me feed it to the Marquis."

"Thank you, ma'am." Qin Hanzhang tried hard to hide his excitement. He opened his mouth, took it and chewed it slowly. He also motioned Su Qianqian to eat it herself.

Su Qianqian was really hungry. She had drunk a lot of tea in the Dali Temple. Seeing the food, her appetite was aroused. While Qin Hanzhang was chewing, she quickly picked up her own bowl and stuffed a few chopsticks of food into it. Her cheeks bulged like a hamster, and then she went to feed Qin Hanzhang.

Qin Hanzhang saw Su Qianqian puffing out her cheeks and closing her lips, busy chewing food, her cheeks puffing up and down with a serious look, and the expression on her face could no longer be maintained. He opened his mouth, took a spoonful of rice, slightly tilted his head and chewed while holding back his smile.

[A grown man eats so elegantly, and he also eats at this speed when fighting in the northern border? I'm afraid that the enemy will come before I can even have a bite of food, and two and a half of my three intestines will be idle all day long!

He is not picky about food, that's right. The climate in the northern border is harsh, and there are not many vegetables to eat in a year. The only things he gets are bread and pickled vegetables, and that's mostly the military rations. Occasionally he hunts for some meat to satisfy his hunger. Even as the commander-in-chief, his treatment is not much better. 】

While eating, Su Qianqian analyzed Qin Hanzhang's previous military life in her mind.

Qin Hanzhang remained silent, but his chewing speed became noticeably faster.

After dinner, the two rinsed their mouths and drank tea. Qin Hanzhang went to the study to handle some business, and Su Qianqian also went to the small study to read some law books that she had recently found. When it comes to learning ability, she has never given up.

At this time, the system came out to eat melons.

[You really guessed it. The reason why our Marquis was called a dandy in the past was that his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all extremely exquisite and luxurious. He learned the rules quickly but was also the most unruly.

As long as it was about the various tricks of the rich kids such as flying eagles and running dogs, the marquis was good at them. He would spend a fortune for a cricket. If he won the dice bet, he would make the young man kneel down in the street and call him grandpa three times. Later, he was scolded by the old lady by pulling his ears.

The Marquis was only twelve years old that year, and he had never lost in drinking contests. He was afraid that the old lady would smell the alcohol when he returned home, so he ran to a house to wash himself before coming back. He also had someone make pills and incense specifically for removing the smell of alcohol. Each pill was worth ten taels of silver.

But ever since the coffins of the old marquis and his son were returned to the capital, the marquis suddenly gave up all his bad habits, and stopped drinking alcohol after that. He no longer associated with his former drinking buddies, and went away to the mountains to learn skills for four years. When he came back, he had become a completely transformed young man. 】

Su Qianqian was reading a book while listening to the system gossiping, and she couldn't help but look at Qin Hanzhang with new eyes. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Anyone who can learn a bad habit and still quit it must be a determined and ruthless person.

[However, the Marquis still ate meat at that time. After not eating red meat in the Northern Frontier, maybe his appetite also decreased? Otherwise, how could he live in peace with such a beautiful woman in his arms? unless……】

The system pondered.

[Unless what?] 】Su Qianqian asked casually.

[Unless you have a beautiful appearance, but not a beautiful body, nor a beautiful fragrance! 】

The system sneered.

[Xiao Tongza, do you think you are worthy of looking down on me?] Have you ever touched beauty bones? Can you smell the beauty scent? It's good enough to see a beautiful face, and you're still making sarcastic remarks about me, you little office worker who hasn't even transformed! 】

[Su Qianqian!] 】The system screamed angrily, as if Su Qianqian had touched its sore spot, and it screamed “Ahhhh” in a baby voice.

[Okay, okay, don’t be angry. Who told you to expose my shortcomings? Can anyone have beauty bones? I'm not the heroine, I'm just your mistress! 】

Su Qianqian knew when to stop and coaxed the system with kind words. She went back to her room to rest and sorted out the medicinal herbs and cotton in the space.

Looking at the merit power, it has increased to 3.32 million, and the melon and bean merits have increased to 1.91 million. The growth rate is amazing.

[The power of merit is increasing quickly because you saved the emperor and his son, and repaired the servants' houses. Even if there is no major disaster yet, it is a good thing that benefits people. As for the melons and beans... I will continue to work hard to bring you to eat melons! 】

Su Qianqian fell asleep as soon as she came out of the space. The floor heating in the room was warm, but she always felt a little empty in her sleep, frowning and groping from time to time.

When Qin Hanzhang came back, Shi Yan was blocking his bedroom door. He spread out his hands to indicate that there was nothing left. He then pointed to Su Qianqian's bedroom, indicating that the bedding was there.

After staring at Shi Yan for a while, Qin Hanzhang took a deep breath and tiptoed towards Su Qianqian's bedroom.

This was the first time he was going to sleep in Su Qianqian's room. He was both nervous and excited. He was afraid of waking Su Qianqian up and getting kicked out, but he also wanted to fall asleep in Su Qianqian's arms like he did when he was hunting.

The girl on duty was sleeping so soundly on the small couch in the outer room that she didn't even notice when Qin Hanzhang walked over. He frowned and wondered whether he should remind them tomorrow, but he was secretly glad that the girl was sleeping so soundly and didn't know he had entered Su Qianqian's room. Otherwise, there would have been more trouble.

There was only a dim light left on the small table outside the screen in the bedroom. Turning the screen with the light, Su Qianqian's bed had its curtains lowered, and her embroidered shoes were placed on the boxwood footstool.

Gently lifting a corner of the tent and adjusting to the dimness inside, Su Qianqian's sleeping face with frowned brows and pouting lips hit Qin Hanzhang's eyes and heart...
