June 17, the 34th year of Jiasheng.
Prince An's Mansion.
"Mingwei, I think Miss Gu has been acting a little strange lately," Meiya whispered to Zhong Mingwei while pinching dumplings, "Aren't we making dumplings with sauerkraut stuffing today? I asked Xiao Hao to ask her to come over to eat dumplings with us, but she said she was busy. She used to love eating dumplings with sauerkraut stuffing the most, but now that we are in the capital, we finally get to make dumplings with sauerkraut stuffing, but she doesn't even come to eat. It's really unreasonable."
"Maybe they are busy?" Zhong Mingwei said as he stood in front of the table and cut meat. They were going to make sweet and sour pork today. Although he was not good at cooking, he could help out. He had also chopped the dumpling stuffing just now. Now, smelling the unique smell of sauerkraut filling the room, he felt like drooling. This was the first time they had made dumplings with sauerkraut stuffing since leaving Ningguta. No matter how reserved and polite a child was, he would still feel greedy, right?
"She can't be busy all the time. Last time I went to her house, she didn't have time to talk to me," Meiya couldn't help but pouting. She poked her chin at Hao Dongqing who was rolling out dumpling skins, and said to Zhong Mingwei angrily, "If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Hao! She didn't even want to accompany me because she wanted to make chicken soup for Mr. Chen! I'm not lying!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Miss Gu said last time that she was going to go back and make chicken soup for Mr. Chen," Hao Dongqing was busy testifying for Mei Ya. He didn't care about the flour on his hands. He bowed deeply to Zhong Mingwei, "Sir, everything the lady said is true. Please don't wrongly accuse the lady!"
Mei Ya's mouth twitched: "..."
What does this have to do with anything?
Zhong Mingwei silently put down the knife in his hand and said to Hao Dongqing expressionlessly: "You don't need to be busy here, go to the kitchen and light a fire."
"Yes, I obey your command!" Hao Dongqing bowed and retreated hurriedly.
"Don't let this fool follow you in the future," Zhong Mingwei said unhappily, looking at Hao Dongqing's back, "He's like a wooden stake. It makes me annoyed just looking at him."
"Who do you think is annoying?" Mei Ya rolled her eyes at him, put the dumplings in her hand on the tray, and hummed softly, "You just want me to be your canary, and you can't see any other man except you!"
"That's not what I meant." Zhong Mingwei laughed dumbly and explained, "I just think this guy is stupid and stubborn. It's too hard to get along with him."
"I think people like this are good. They are a little dull, but they don't have any frivolous thoughts. I think you like them too," Mei Ya said, pointing at Zhong Mingwei. "Look at the people around you, aren't they all like this? Pang Yi is like this, the Kong brothers are like this, and even Mr. Chen is a very principled person. People like this are very practical to work with."
"Haha, now that you mention it, I find that young man much more pleasing to the eye," Zhong Mingwei couldn't help laughing. He continued to cut the meat and said, "Girl, you are right. People who stick to their principles are more reliable to work with."
"So, that Zhou Youan is not a down-to-earth person. When Commander Ma was here, he seemed to be a loyal man. Now that Commander Ma is gone, he has started to make his own plans," Mei Ya said slowly. While continuing to make dumplings, she casually said, "I wonder how the guards of Da Kong are doing with their investigation."
"It should be just these two days. He has always been efficient in doing things." Zhong Mingwei said.
