Chapter 157 Preemptive Strike
Lu Wenjing's face wrinkled into a bun, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "How about we eat some meat?"
Meat, meat, you know? The firm and elastic meat from animals, which tastes fresh and fragrant, and goes well with any dish...meat?
"Then..." Su Yujin also thought about it, "Steamed pork with rice flour? And small wontons stuffed with shepherd's purse?"
"Sure!" Lu Wenjing jumped up and down happily, and then she was ready to go to the house to rest, drink some tea, and enjoy the delicious food later.
As a result, before I even entered the house, I saw Xing'an coming out after lifting the bamboo curtain.
"Xing'an?" Lu Wenjing tilted her head. "Why are you here?"
Suddenly I felt something was wrong.
Xing'an is here, so does that mean my cousin is here! It's over, it's over...
I sneaked out here secretly, thinking I could leave without anyone noticing. But now I’m discovered! Lu Wenjing quickly shrank her neck, turned around and tiptoed to leave, but she heard someone shouting behind her, “You’re here, but you didn’t even say hello? Isn’t that a bit too rude?”
Sure enough, there is no escape.
Lu Wenjing's face turned pale for a moment, then she quickly calmed down, turned around and jumped in front of He Yanxiu who was standing in the corridor, "What a coincidence, cousin, you are here too."
"Come to think of it, I heard from my aunt that your old injury recurred, didn't you go see a doctor?"
We must strike first! "Yes, I'm here to see Miss Su." He Yanxiu shook the plaster on his wrist and told Xing'an, "Let's boil the medicine for the evening earlier."
Xing'an responded "yes" and went into the house to get the bag of medicinal herbs that Su Yujin had prepared.
When Lu Wenjing saw this, her face suddenly became embarrassed.
This Miss Su is actually a doctor?
Is the medical skill good enough to help He Yanxiu treat the recurrence of his old injury? Now, he couldn't use He Yanxiu's handle to make trouble, so he just smiled and said, "I am also worried about my cousin's injury, so I came to see how he is doing on behalf of my aunt. Go back and tell my aunt as soon as possible, so that everyone can feel at ease, right?"
"Cousin, you don't know that everyone is very concerned about your injury. Even my father talks about it three times a day. I thought about it and felt that I am not good at anything and always get into trouble. Now that I am old, I should be filial to my parents. So I thought of coming to see your injury and condition, and then go back to tell my parents about it. It can be regarded as my filial piety..."
"Tell the truth!" He Yanxiu glanced at Lu Wenjing.
"I'm craving Miss Su's cooking, so I thought I'd come here to have a bite and leave after I'm done. My family probably won't notice."
Lu Wenjing explained everything honestly, then carefully raised her eyelids to look at the expression on He Yanxiu's face.
In fact, she has many cousins, but this is only one biological cousin.
It just so happened that even though this cousin didn't have a stern face all day long, he still had an intimidating aura that made her feel afraid. Even though she was fearless at home, she was still a little afraid of her cousin.
"Let's go after we finish eating."
Seeing He Yanxiu relax, Lu Wenjing was overjoyed, "Okay, I will!"
That was originally planned.
"When you go back, don't tell anyone that I'm in Qinghe." He Yanxiu warned.
"Okay." Lu Wenjing nodded again.
But he tilted his head again.
Is it because he is afraid that she will tell Sister Ying about this? But since my cousin likes Miss Su so much, and Miss Su is the only woman he has had for so many years, why is he hiding it? Lu Wenjing couldn't figure it out, but she felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she simply stopped thinking about it and just waited quietly for dinner.
Dinner was the dishes that Su Yujin had just mentioned to Lu Wenjing.
It looks ordinary, but when you really eat it...
Needless to say, the wontons with shepherd's purse and meat filling were as delicious as the shepherd's purse dumplings that Lu Wenjing had eaten last time. The steamed carrot and cherry dish was steamed and then fried, with a rich flavor, fresh, fragrant and spicy in the mouth, and it was more satisfying than eating meat.
The white radish cherry is made by removing the leaves and leaving only the stem in the middle of the leaves, then cutting it into sections. No extra seasoning is needed, just marinate it with salt. It tastes crispy and delicious, and is a perfect match with crispy pork.
The most delicious thing is the sesame leaf noodles.
Fresh sesame leaf noodles are stir-fried and made into original pot noodles. They are full of fragrance and very comfortable to eat. Eating a big bowl of such noodles on an autumn day can be said to be super satisfying.
Lu Wenjing, who disliked rabbit dishes, ate a plate of steamed carrots and cherries, and a large bowl of sesame leaf noodles. However, she didn't eat many of the crispy pork and shepherd's purse meat-filled wontons that she had been craving for.
After eating, you should pat your belly and burp loudly.
Because He Yanxiu was here, Lu Wenjing didn't dare to stay any longer. After finishing her meal and digesting it for a while, she left in a hurry.
Su Yujin walked him out the door.
Seeing that He Yanxiu didn't follow, Lu Wenjing hurriedly pulled Su Yujin's sleeve and said, "Next time when my cousin is not with you, you can send me a message."
I'm here to eat.
Su Yujin, "..."
In terms of status, she was just a concubine! If she openly contacted He Yanxiu's cousin, would others think she was trying to get close to him or get promoted?
This won't do. She will leave sooner or later. Although she will definitely be far away from here by then, she doesn't want to have a feud with anyone at this moment and become a thorn in the eyes of others, which will affect her peaceful life in the future.
"Why don't you observe more? If the Second Master is in the capital, then he is definitely not with me." Su Yujin explained, "If I go to deliver the letter, and the Second Master arrives before the letter arrives, then Miss Lu will run into the Second Master, which would be inappropriate."
"That makes sense." Lu Wenjing nodded, "Then I'll take care of this."
This would also prevent Sister Ying from misunderstanding if she knew that Su Yujin sent her a letter.
"Ms. Lu, take care."
Su Yujin watched Lu Wenjing walk away with a smile before turning back.
At this time, He Yanxiu was holding the medicine prepared by Xing'an and drinking it mouthful by mouthful.
Su Yujin could smell the pungent bitterness of the black medicine from a distance, and since she was the one who prepared the prescription, she knew how bitter and unpalatable the medicine tasted.
But He Yanxiu was able to drink the bowl of medicine in small sips without changing his expression...
And the sense of taste has basically recovered.
I have to say, Er Ye is Er Ye...
Being able to eat delicious food and drink bitter medicine is something that ordinary people cannot achieve.
After He Yanxiu finished drinking the bowl of medicine, he saw Su Yujin staring at him and immediately frowned, "Do you have any candied fruits or other sweets?"
Su Yujin, "..."
It turns out that you still know how bitter it is!
Freezing hands while typing...
Winter is too unfriendly to the author, o(╥﹏╥)o (End of this chapter)
