Chapter 284(1/2)
When it comes to shamelessness, Bai Xianyu is definitely not as good as Xie Xingyun. She controlled her breathing and changed the subject: "I have the ingredients, but I can only bake them..."
Seeing Xie Xingyun looking so calm and composed, she felt a little more expectant for some reason, "Can you do it?"
Xie Xingyun didn't hesitate at all, "I can only bake."
Bai Xianyu: "..."
"Just bake it. There's no rice or noodles, so it's hard to eat. Let's eat something to cushion our stomach. I'll take you to Zuixianglou later." After Xie Xingyun finished speaking, he threw a pheasant on the chopping board and touched it with his hand.
Bai Xianyu paused for a moment while holding his sword. Bai Xianyu looked over and saw that Xie Xingyun moved his hand very calmly and unhurriedly, and then said: "Xiao Zheng, come in and kill the chicken."
"..."
Bai Li laughed at an inappropriate time and looked at Xiao Zheng with schadenfreude. Xiao Zheng was a little embarrassed, but he decisively took out his sword and killed the chicken.
Bai Xianyu saw this and said, "Bai Li, go and kill those two fish."
Bai Li: "..."
Xiao Zheng laughed out loud and pulled out Bai Li's sword without any reason, "Hurry up, come here and kill the fish!"
Bai Li gritted his teeth and looked at him for a while, then fiercely grabbed the sword and carried two fish out.
So the following scene took place.
Xiao Zheng and Bai Li held swords that were as sharp as iron. One controlled the force to cut the chicken's neck, and the other shaved the fish scales with a "swish".
Bai Xianyu glanced at it and couldn't help laughing: "Then what do we do?"
Xie Xingyun found a few branches, simply pared them, washed them in water several times, until the branches became round and smooth, and sharpened one end, "I'll go find some firewood, just wait here to eat."
"Oh." Bai Xianyu was not polite to him, so he sat on a small chair and waited for him to come back.
Xiao Zheng and Bai Li took care of the food and found a copper basin to put it in. Xie Xingyun soon came back with a bundle of firewood.
"That should be enough." Xie Xingyun took the pot off the stove, set up a rack and started baking.
He found oil and seasonings from somewhere and put them in a row on the table next to him.
Bai Xianyu thought for a while, pulled out a few thick branches, and added fire to it.
The fire was so strong that people's shadows seemed to be reflected in the blazing flames. Bai Xianyu sent some firewood in in a daze, but when he tried to get it again, Xie Xingyun held his wrist.
She subconsciously curled up her palms and asked with her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Xie Xingyun opened her palm, frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "My hands are dirty."
Bai Xianyu looked at the palms of her hands. The originally fair skin had now turned gray, but it was not a big deal. She was not so squeamish that even adding fuel to the fire would make her feel dirty. "Just wash your hands later. Anyway, we have a meal."
Always wash your hands."
But Xie Xingyun didn't think so. He felt that the black and gray marks on the girl's palm were extremely annoying, so he grabbed her wrist and said, "Your hands shouldn't do such rough work."
Bai Xianyu was speechless. Is this a rough job?
"Didn't you do it too? Besides, how can adding fire be considered a menial job?" Bai Xianyu felt that he was making a fuss and said unconcernedly: "Turn around quickly, this side will be burnt..."
The man's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, "This isn't considered rough work, so what is rough work?"
Bai Xianyu: "..."
"Xiao Zheng, come here." Xie Xingyun said the next sentence, half raising his eyes and said: "Don't let them get confused."
"Where are you going? Ah!" Before Bai Xianyu finished asking, Xie Xingyun picked him up and said, "Take you to wash your hands."
Bai Xianyu was silent and asked sincerely, "Xie Xingyun, is your mysophobia getting worse?"
While Xie Xingyun was moving quickly, he took the time to glance at her, as if he was asking her, but also as if he was talking to himself, "Am I mysophobic?"
Bai Xianyu couldn't hold it back and twitched the corner of his mouth, "We were married for three years before. You and I had to use serving chopsticks and teacups to eat. We even kissed each other. You didn't drink anything I drank, even
After passing my bowl, I didn’t even move my chopsticks and you didn’t eat either.”
"Huh?" Xie Xingyun's eyes showed some confusion, "I used to be like this?"
Bai Xianyu wanted to complain a long time ago, "Also, when I first married you, I made lotus soup for you and randomly picked up a new pair of chopsticks. As soon as you got it, you said it didn't feel right.
Later, Xiao Zheng told me that your kitchen utensils need to be disinfected with wine and how many days should they be exposed to the sun before they can be used by you..."
Xie Xingyun: "..."
As she spoke, she recalled the scene where Xie Xingyun was holding two wooden branches picked up from anywhere.
Bai Xianyu chattered for a long time, and she stopped only when Xie Xingyun pressed her hand next to the stream to wash it.
After complaining, Bai Xianyu felt much better, and she didn't know how she could endure it before.
Xie Xingyun is the most mysophobic person she has ever seen, bar none...
Xie Xingyun looked at her long exhalation and inhalation and smiled casually, "Is this a 'long-standing grudge' against me?"
Bai Xianyu nodded without hesitation, "But you are much better now."
Xie Xingyun smiled, "Maybe it's not that it's better, it's that I no longer have a mysophobia for you."
He had some impression of what she said, but it was purely out of habit, not disgust or anything else. In the years that followed, he got used to having her around and no longer differentiated from her on these things.
Bai Xianyu glanced at his hands that were almost wrinkled and said helplessly: "Then what are you doing now?"
"Do you think it's mysophobia?" Xie Xingyun said in a slightly surprised tone, but compared to the surprise of ordinary people, his emotion was much calmer.
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Xie Xingyun answered decisively, with a smile on his lips, "Even if you were painted with ink and turned into a little cat, I would still kiss you. I just can't bear to see you being embarrassed by such trivial things."
She should always do the things she likes beautifully, and he can help her with all the things that require her hard work.
Bai Xianyu was stunned for a few seconds.
Xie Xingyun leaned against her ear, and his warm breath brushed the crook of her neck, "Remember, your hands can hold pens, draw, and do what you like, but you can't dirty them like this."
He gently kneaded her fingers, which were as white as green onions. The stream water was cold, but his hands were hot. Two completely different temperatures hit each other, but in the end it was obvious that his body temperature was superior, and the fingers seemed to be
It was softened by the heat, and he gently held it in his palm.
She was inexplicably nervous by Xie Xingyun's solemn tone, as if her hands were treasures that could not be desecrated.
In the past, she had only experienced such a feeling with her brother, but today, Bai Xianyu suddenly discovered that Xie Xingyun also regarded her as a treasure.
Even worse.
It's a pity... Bai Xianyu's head is in a mess. Someone is guarding the treasure just to take a look at it from time to time to ensure that it is safe and sound. However, Xie Xingyun treats it as a treasure. If others take a look at it, he will be full of hostility, and everyone will be wary.
Therefore, he wants to occupy the treasure, and he also wants the treasure to recognize him as its master.
…
Li Changning has been on the verge of collapse ever since he learned that the Changqiu Palace where he lived was the place where the eldest princess's mansion used to raise dogs.
Being expelled from Kyoto had already caused her emotions to fluctuate violently, but now it was a wake-up call that left her in a daze.
"Who's going to say that? Everything is ready, but the master doesn't leave yet."
"Master has been staring at the mirror for two hours! He didn't even move!"
"It's too scary, Master...he must be crazy!"
The masculine guards shuddered. The seventh princess was already crazy when she wasn't crazy. Now that she's crazy, wouldn't it be even worse?
"Come here, my princess is itchy. Someone can catch lice for me, please hurry up."
Li Changning's voice rang out suddenly, almost deafening, but she said it with a laugh. There was a faint echo in the spacious hall, and the maids jumped up in fright!
"Hurry up, click on the green and the flowing jade!"
The two maids who were named showed extremely horrified expressions, holding one hand tightly with the other, too scared to respond.
Li Changning's laughter echoed, "If you don't come, you can go accompany your aunt's dog."
"Here comes Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, Liuyu is here!"
The maid went in with a dead look on her face, and fearfully put her hand on Li Changning's red tunic. She didn't know where to find it, but the latter suddenly turned around and stared at her with lifeless eyes.
The maid's hands trembled and she stuttered back, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Li Changning grinned and smiled slyly, "Are you thinking that this princess has gone crazy?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! Your Highness is blessed by the gods, how can he go crazy!"
"Hahahaha!" Li Changning laughed suddenly, "Yes, I am a golden princess, how can I go crazy?"
After saying that, she looked at the other maid who was shivering and said, "Hold it to me and don't move it."
She threw her a mirror.
The maid caught it, swallowed her saliva, stood up, and raised the mirror to a position where she could just see Li Changning's face.
"You, go and pass the food to me." Li Changning kicked the person kneeling aside.
"yes!"
"I didn't tell you, don't move around." Li Changning glanced at the person holding the mirror and smiled, "If you move around, she will come out."
