We'll have hot pot and barbecue for dinner.
Madam Xue had already bought a pot from a blacksmith shop in the city, with a hot pot in the middle and a meat grill around the edge.
The four sat around a small square table, with the dishes placed next to Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu so they could easily put them down.
"Brother Yuanyuan, the meatball you made is quite round, it matches your name." Gu Xin said with a smile after eating a meatball.
Having been subtly taught by Gu Nian for four years, the Gu family's meal order is to drink soup first, then eat meat, then vegetables, and finally the staple food.
All four of us can handle spicy food, so we made a spicy hot pot and a pumpkin soup, but no one drank the soup first.
"Here, try a vegetable-wrapped meat!" Lu Zheng took a vegetable leaf, put a piece of roasted meat on it, and added a small green pepper before feeding it to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin had gotten used to being fed by him. She swallowed the meatball and ate it in one bite.
Lu Zheng was very satisfied and grilled meat for Gu Xin and wrapped it up.
"I said, you two have had enough!" Gu Nian couldn't stand it anymore. Just eat your food properly, why are you feeding me?
As a result, Xue Qianyu followed Lu Zheng's example, wrapped a piece, and fed it directly to Gu Nian.
Gu Nian: "!"
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin both laughed.
"Oh, if only my eldest sister and Sisi were here too," Gu Xin sighed.
"Yes, and Huo Junhao and Meng Meng too. It's like we've gone back to the time in Sanchakou Village!" Gu Nian nodded and said.
"I always thought Sister Hui and Meng Meng would become a couple!" Xue Qianyu said, taking a bite of food.
“When I saw Sister Hui looking so powerful before, I thought she and General Ze were a perfect match. Sure enough, my judgment was right,” Lu Zheng said.
“Brother Meng had a fiancée back then, how could he possibly fall for someone else!” Gu Nian said with some regret. She was closer to Meng Meng than Gu Hui. Of course, Gu Hui had her own choices.
“Brother Meng and Sister He are doing very well together! Sister He always manages to leave Brother Meng speechless and make him blush.” Gu Xin was fed another meal by Lu Zheng.
“Yes, they’re a good match.” The other three agreed wholeheartedly.
"By the way, Lu Zheng, isn't Jin Yingying the Third Prince's savior? Now that the Emperor is here, aren't you and my father planning to use this card?" Gu Nian asked curiously, remembering Jin Yingying.
Ever since her father and Lu Zheng became acquainted, they often conspired together on various matters. Usually, Gu Shouxin and she were both busy and rarely talked about these things.
“I originally planned to deliver a fatal blow to the Third Prince, but my second uncle said it wasn’t the right time yet. He told me to quickly get things done in Chuyun Kingdom, and he would handle the affairs of the court,” Lu Zheng said.
"Oh dear, the Third Prince is incredibly stupid. I'm starting to wonder if he's even the Emperor and Empress Xue's child. How can he trust Li Shan so much!" Gu Xin complained.
Xue Qianyu pursed his lips. As for his cousin, well, he had nothing to say. He was indeed incredibly stupid. He couldn't understand how a prince could so easily trust a girl, even if that girl was his savior.
Gu Xin and Xue Qianyu didn't know, but Gu Nian and Lu Zheng did!
Li Shan was reborn and knew many things. She only needed to say a few things and do a few things to gain the trust of the Third Prince.
The two exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads to continue eating.
Lu Zheng changed the subject: "I heard from the Peng brothers that Peng Erlang is planning to get engaged. He was originally planning to marry into the Yi family, but now he seems to have a new candidate."
