Chapter 212 Wild Vegetables
Xiao Fuzi smiled and led Gu Jiayue forward, saying, "My master would definitely be very happy if we could have lunch together with Miss Gu. When people are happy, they are more receptive to things."
Knowing his master, he didn't really dislike the food. After all, he had never eaten it before, so why would he dislike it? It was just that the students had sent it, and the sight of it annoyed him.
Yes, Jiang Luli is now very annoyed when he sees those tactless students who want to get close to Gu Jiayue all day long.
If I had known, I wouldn't have taken these people out.
But he didn't want to think about it. If it weren't for taking these students on a study tour, he wouldn't have come to Juzhou Prefecture. Nor would he have met Gu Jiayue.
But all these emotions are nothing when facing Gu Jiayue.
Xiao Fuzi could see clearly that his master had really fallen for Miss Gu this time. As long as Miss Gu said something was good, he would not express a different opinion at all.
Besides, it’s just a dish, the master is not so stingy.
Although Gu Jiayue was confused by Xiao Fuzi's words, she was shamelessly tempted when she thought about having hot pot at noon. "Okay, let's go to the kitchen and see if there are any suitable dishes."
The two turned another corner and headed towards the kitchen.
Jiang Luli stood up after waiting in the study for a long time, not only did Xiao Fuzi not come back, but he also did not wait for Gu Jiayue to come back.
When I opened the door of the study, I happened to see Lu Yao about to walk out.
When Lu Yao saw Jiang Luli, he quickly bowed. "Master."
Jiang Luli nodded. "Are you going out?"
Jiang Luli has many secret guards around him, so Lu Yao doesn't need to follow him every day.
Lu Yao pointed outside and said, "Eunuch Fu said that Miss Gu wanted to eat wild vegetables, so he asked me to go to the mountains to see if I could pick some suitable wild vegetables."
Miss Gu? So Gu Jiayue is already here? But why didn't she come directly to the study? They had clearly made an appointment yesterday.
And what about Xiao Fuzi? Miss Gu didn't tell him about such an important matter as wanting to eat wild vegetables.
"Let's go and take a look."
When the two came to the kitchen, they saw Gu Jiayue explaining to the cook how to cut meat and how to make side dishes.
Seeing Jiang Luli coming over, Gu Jiayue's face turned a little embarrassed.
She actually delayed class time for a bite of food. She deserves to die!
"The country is long."
Jiang Luli nodded reservedly. "What's this, Principal Gu?"
Gu Jiayue scratched the strands of hair on her forehead. "When I entered the courtyard, I happened to see Xiao Fuzi carrying a basket of food out, saying she was going to throw it away. I happened to like this kind of food, so I kept it. And it just so happened that Eunuch Fu said that they had slaughtered a sheep in the courtyard yesterday, and asked me to have lunch there at noon. So..."
Jiang Luli shook his head and laughed. He had known Gu Jiayue for so long, but this was the first time he saw her acting so childishly.
That's right, she's only sixteen years old. She should be so bright and outgoing.
"What food? How come I don't know?"
Um?
Gu Jiayue looked up in confusion when she heard Jiang Luli say this. She looked at Jiang Luli and then at Xiao Fuzi.
What is going on here?
But how could Xiao Fuzi not understand what Gu Jiayue couldn't figure out?
He quickly stepped forward, bent over, and slapped himself hard on the forehead. "Oh, now I remember I misheard. The master said to hand it over to the kitchen, but I heard it was thrown into the back mountain. Fortunately, I met Miss Gu, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
Lu Yao turned slightly, looked up at the sky, and tried not to let anyone notice his eye roll.
As expected of the master's number one lackey, the speed with which he skillfully throws dirty water on himself is truly a role model for us.
"Well, considering your usual loyalty, I will spare you today." Jiang Luli was very satisfied with Xiao Fuzi's words.
He is indeed his confidant who grew up with him. He is much better than the rough and tumble Lu Yao who only knows how to move forward.
"Guard Lu just said you wanted to eat wild vegetables?" Jiang Luli changed the subject.
At this point, Gu Jiayue had nothing to hide. "Well, I thought that now is the season when wild onions and dayflowers are in full bloom, so I can get some back. Wild onions are great for stir-frying bacon, and dayflowers are great for hot pot."
As he spoke, a look of longing appeared on his face.
She really wanted to dig it out herself, but she also had to teach Jiang Luli how to draw.
Seeing the unconcealed expression on her face, Jiang Luli suddenly had a good idea. "Headmaster Gu, the sun is shining brightly today. Why don't we hold the class outdoors?"
Gu Jiayue: "Hmm? What do you mean?"
Jiang Luli resisted the urge to rub Gu Jiayue's head and continued, "I've never picked wild vegetables before. Why don't we go up the mountain and pick some together? Then we can use them as a reference for each other's paintings."
"Is this... okay? Will it hinder your studies?" Gu Jiayue wanted to go, but as a good teacher, she knew her priorities. "Forget it, I've already drawn some pictures of the wild vegetables. Let Guard Lu find them. Let's get on with the lesson."
Because she was greedy, she has already delayed the class.
"You can learn painting anytime, but you can't always pick wild vegetables. Miss Gu, please satisfy my curiosity and show me some new things."
He never mentioned that it was to take care of Gu Jiayue, but just said that he also wanted to learn about wild vegetables and experience the happiness.
In the end, Gu Jiayue was persuaded by Jiang Luli.
"Well, I remember there's a patch of wild onions not far away. Let's go take a look."
So, Gu Jiayue took Jiang Luli and walked towards the hillside not far away.
There are many mountains in Annan County, but most of them are not very high.
However, the road is a bit rugged, and there are big rocks blocking the road from time to time.
As she walked, Gu Jiayue was also looking around to see if there were any edible wild vegetables. So when she wasn't paying attention, she almost fell down when they were moving around.
Fortunately, Jiang Luli, who was always keeping an eye on her, assisted her.
Jiang Luli hugged the slender waist, feeling the sweet fragrance coming from the person so close. He felt like he had been drinking thirty years of girl's red wine, and was intoxicated.
But he still remembered the gentleman's etiquette, and after making sure Gu Jiayue was standing again, he let go of her hand. "Be careful, it's okay if we walk slowly."
Gu Jiayue didn't think much about it, but was very thankful. Fortunately, she didn't fall down. If she fell down on the ground full of rocks, she would definitely be disfigured.
She looked at Jiang Luli with a smile on her face. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for saving my life. I think I saw a bunch of wild onions somewhere. Let's go over there."
"Okay." Jiang Luli carefully rubbed the hand that was hugging Gu Jiayue, which he had hidden behind his back. However, his footsteps followed Gu Jiayue forward.
Lu Yao also wanted to follow and dig wild onions.
How could a nobleman like the master do such rough work? Only a rough man like him could do it.
But Xiao Fuzi held him back. Don't go over there now and offend others.
Lu Yao glared at him. "Why are you pulling me along? The master doesn't know how to dig wild onions."
Xiao Fuzi looked at him unkindly. "You idiot. Whether it happens or not has nothing to do with us. We just need to wait here."
They are just living together, why are you, a tactless person, sticking up to them?
Before Lu Yao could argue, he heard Gu Jiayue's exclamation.
The two of them hurriedly took a few steps forward and saw a group of wild boars rushing down the mountain.
The wild boars' target was Gu Jiayue and Jiang Luli, who were squatting on the ground digging wild onions.
