The light in Jiang Jingyu's eyes that had dimmed suddenly brightened again.
It is as bright as a star that has been quenched.
"real?"
She looked straight at Lechen.
Liaochen nodded slightly: "Yeah."
The two of them each held one end of the flower branch and looked at each other across the stone table. The tiny changes in their hearts suddenly condensed into a vast galaxy.
Finally, Jiang Jingyu came back to her senses first: "Master Liaochen, drink the longevity noodles quickly. They won't taste good if they clump together!"
After Jiang Jingyu's reminder, Lechen's gaze fell on the bowl of longevity noodles in front of him again. He exerted a little force on the hand holding the squid, and Jiang Jingyu quickly let go of her hand after feeling it.
Liaochen took the flower branch that Jiang Jingyu gave him and placed it on the empty seat next to the stone table.
"Master Liaochen, please try it!"
Under Jiang Jingyu's gaze and urging, Liaochen picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to taste the longevity noodles in front of him.
It’s different from what the chefs in the temple make.
In the past, Master Jingkong would specially instruct the kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Liaochen on his birthday every year. However, this year, Master Jingkong was not in the temple on Liaochen's birthday, and the chefs were so busy that they forgot about it.
If Jiang Jingyu hadn't just heard Mrs. Gu say that today was Lechen's birthday and prepared longevity noodles for him, Lechen himself might not even have remembered that today was his birthday.
"Is it delicious?"
Jiang Jingyu looked at Lechen opposite her with anticipation.
Lechen nodded: "It tastes good."
Jiang Jingyu's face lit up with a smile when she heard that. She was still very confident in the noodles she made.
"If it tastes good, Master Lechen will drink it all. I'll make it for you whenever you want to drink it in the future!"
Jiang Jingyu looked at Lechen with a smile, her lips dimples slightly, her smile was unrestrained and flamboyant.
"And this, this dried fruit is also delicious, Master Liaochen, come and try it."
"And today's floral tea. It's made with cherry blossoms, and the taste is a little different from the previous ones. Master Liaochen, please try it too."
"And this, this is..."
"Thank you, Princess."
Lechen looked up at Jiang Jingyu who was chattering across from him.
Not only did he thank her for preparing the longevity noodles for him, but also for standing by his side without hesitation.
Faced with Lechen's serious thanks, the smile on Jiang Jingyu's lips suddenly disappeared, and she looked at Lechen with a serious face.
"Master Liaochen, you don't have to be polite to me. We are friends, aren't we?"
Lechen's heart trembled.
Friends?
I guess so.
Before Lechen could speak, Jiang Jingyu continued, "I've already told you, Master Chen, you don't have to call me Princess. I have a name, Jiang Jingyu. Master Lechen can call me Jingyu, Yu'er, or even Xiao..."
"The flower tea is cold, drink it quickly."
Seeing the painting style gradually deviating, Lechen interrupted Jiang Jingyu.
Jiang Jingyu curled her lips in dissatisfaction and continued to stare at Lechen while he drank longevity noodles.
In the end, Liaochen drank up all the longevity noodles, leaving not only the chopped green onions but even the soup.
Jiang Jingyu touched the tip of her nose and said, "I told you to finish the noodles, not to leave even a drop of soup..."
Not only did Lechen finish the soup, he also drank up all the scented tea that Jiang Jingyu poured for him.
Lechen looked straight at Jiang Jingyu with a calm gaze, which made Jiang Jingyu feel uncomfortable all over and her eyes gradually became suspicious.
Was it a bowl of longevity noodles that caught him?
Just when Jiang Jingyu was daydreaming that he had the potential to manipulate people's hearts by making noodles, Lechen spoke.
"There's dust on your face."
Jiang Jingyu: “…”
Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was dust? !
Jiang Jingyu glared at Lechen angrily, raised his hand and rubbed his face twice, which made his face darker and darker, and even amused the monk!
Liaochen pulled the corner of his mouth, then took out his handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Jingyu: "Go wash it."
Jiang Jingyu snatched the handkerchief from his hand and walked quickly towards the pond. Through the water in the pond, she saw her own clown face, which was exactly the same as Xiong Er's.
No wonder the monks were so happy!
Jiang Jingyu took the handkerchief given by Luochen and gently scooped some water from the pool. After wetting the handkerchief, she bent down in front of the water and used the water as a mirror to wipe the dust off her face.
Lechen had his back to the pond and did not turn around when Jiang Jingyu went to the pond to wipe her face.
He sat on a stone bench, his spotless gown hanging to the ground, and in his hand he still held the ribbon that Jiang Jingyu had just used to blindfold him.
A gentle breeze blew, and the fragrance of the crabapple flowers filled the entire yard. Lechen looked at the crabapple branch beside him and gently took it in his hand.
I have never noticed before that the crabapple flowers this year are so beautiful, especially the one in his hand.
As for the person who sent the flowers...
A familiar fragrance surrounded Lechen from behind, and his entire back suddenly stiffened.
Jiang Jingyu said seriously, "My Queen Mother said that when a person's heart is hurt, a hug is the best medicine to heal the mood."
——
"Evil creature, evil creature!"
After leaving the Fo'an Temple and getting on the carriage back home, Master Gu could no longer contain his anger and punched the carriage!
He never thought that he, Gu Chengyin, would kneel down to his own son one day!
But she is also an evildoer who brings him endless shame!
With so many pilgrims watching today, he was just thankful that he didn't have any acquaintances from Qingzhou, otherwise he would have been so embarrassed!
No, his face was completely humiliated the moment he knelt before that evildoer!!
Mr. Gu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. The carriage shook violently with his punch. Mrs. Gu, who was sitting next to him, lost her balance and fell to the side. She hit her head on the carriage before she could steady herself.
"Hey Gu Chengyin, what's wrong with you! Just now in the temple, you cursed me to death in front of so many people, and now you even dare to put it into action and hit my head!"
Madam Gu punched Mr. Gu in the chest with such force that he let out a muffled groan!
"Just beat me to death!"
Mr. Gu, who was already full of anger, did not have a good face when facing Mrs. Gu, and immediately yelled at her.
"Okay, Gu Chengyin, you took out all the anger you got from that evil creature on me, right? You're angry, so why shouldn't I be angry too? I'll beat you to death!"
Just as Madam Gu was about to reach out, Master Gu grabbed her wrist and said, "Alright! The most urgent thing right now is to think about how to save Chuan'er!"
Mrs. Gu lifted up Gu Yunchuan's vital organ and immediately withdrew her hand.
"Master, what should we do? That evil creature refuses to return home with us. How can we save Chuan'er?"
Master Gu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "I can only go back and discuss it with Taoist Qingshan. I hope Taoist Qingshan has other ways to deal with it."
The couple both sighed and told the driver to go faster.
On the other side, Taoist Qingshan, who was being talked about by Master Gu and Madam Gu, was sitting cross-legged in the Gu family's successor hall. As time passed, his jet-black hair gradually turned white...
