Meiya's mouth twitched: "...Why are you so unsophisticated? Isn't it just a cornmeal pancake?"
Mei Ya was very disgusted, looking at the people in front of her who were staring at the pancakes, she curled her lips in disdain. Who would have thought that among these people, there were sons and grandsons of emperors, generals on the battlefield, great scholars, famous doctors, and... a delicate lady raised by a noble family?
hehe.
These people's reputations are probably exaggerated, right? Anyway, she didn't believe it at all.
"Sister An, the first piece is for you," Meiya shoveled the first cooked pancake off the pot under everyone's eager gaze. She smiled and put it into the bowl of little An, "Sister An, dip it in the fish soup. It tastes even better."
"snort!"
The next second, Gu Changlin placed the bowl heavily on the stove and turned his head away angrily.
Xiao An looked at Gu Changlin awkwardly. Then she looked at the people around her. Finally, she lowered her head silently and began to eat the pancakes in big mouthfuls. Mei Ya was right. It is really delicious to dip it in fish soup. As for other things. She doesn't care, hehe.
"Mr. Gu." Meiya helplessly shoveled another piece of cake and placed it in the bowl in front of Gu Changlin, and couldn't help laughing. "Why are you so petty?"
"Hmph!" Gu Changlin snorted again after hearing what she said, but he didn't say anything else. He was busy eating the pancakes in the bowl. He liked the pancakes made by Mei Ya the most. Every time he ate them, he would even forget to drink.
"Girl, actually..." Ding Yunwen pursed his lips and looked at Mei Ya a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I am even more narrow-minded than him."
Mei Ya's face was filled with black lines: "...Why don't you just tell me whether you want cornmeal or multi-grain flour?"
"Mixed grain flour, hehe." Ding Yunwen said hurriedly, and then a piece of hot multi-grain flour pancake was placed in his bowl. Ding Yunwen picked up the bowl with a smile and ate it slowly, bite by bite.
Pang Yi couldn't help it: "Madam, I want..."
"I know, it's made of cornmeal." Mei Ya understood before Pang Yi finished speaking. She scooped off a piece of cornmeal pancake and was about to give it to Pang Yi. Then, the pancake was taken away by Gu Changlin right under her nose.
Meiya's mouth twitched: "...Mr. Gu, is it really okay to bully the younger generation like this?"
The corners of Pang Yi's mouth twitched more violently than hers: "...That's mine!"
Gu Changlin turned a deaf ear and ate the pancake with relish. Pang Yi was heartbroken and wanted to talk to Gu Changlin, but then he heard footsteps outside. He was a martial artist and had very good hearing, so he frowned suddenly and put down his chopsticks.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Mingwei also put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Pang Yi.
"There are people coming outside," Pang Yi said with a frown, "some are riding horses, some are walking, and judging by the sound, there must be at least ten people."
At that moment, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks. Xiao An asked timidly, "Will...will you just be passing by?"
"It's winter now, and the roads are blocked by heavy snow. Who would come to such a secluded place?" Gu Changlin said in a deep voice, and said to Pang Yi, "Pang Yi, go out and take a look first."
"Yes." In fact, Pang Yi had already stood up without Gu Changlin saying anything. He put one hand on the dagger at his waist and pushed open the kitchen door with the other hand, then walked out. The cold wind blew in through the gap in the door, and for a moment, everyone shuddered.
"Could it be those traitors?" Xiao An asked in a low voice, "Did they escape from the Northwest Forest Farm?"
"Impossible. How could they escape with the Imperial Guards guarding here?" Gu Changlin said in a deep voice.
Mei Ya sat back, her heart was in turmoil when the man next to her held her hand. Mei Ya's fear was immediately gone. Even though she knew there were so many people sitting in the room, she still let Zhong Mingwei hold her hand.
"Master!" After a while, Pang Yi came back in a hurry. He pushed the door open, walked in front of Zhong Mingwei, and looked at Zhong Mingwei with a complicated expression, "Master, someone from the capital has come. He has already arrived at the main hall. Please go quickly."
"Is... is it someone sent by the emperor?" Ding Yunwen looked at Pang Yi's expression and he himself was shocked.
"Yes," Pang Yi nodded, "It was Eunuch Xi, the disciple of General Manager Zhao. He was escorted all the way to Ningguta by the Imperial Guards. He said that there was an imperial edict that needed to be read in person."
