Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 51: South Minor


Aunt Zhou laughed "haha", cleared her throat and started humming: "A piece of purple bamboo is straight to the seedlings, I will give it to my brother to make a pipe flute, the flute is facing the mouth, the mouth is facing the flute, Blow out the tune of flowers. Ask your brother, is this tube Xiaoer okay? Ask your brother, is this tube Xiaoer okay?"

This is a lively and lively folk tune, which makes people feel happy when listening to it, and can't help but want to hum along. The timbre is beautiful, the rhythm of the tones are also accurate, and she sings a little more beautifully than Aunt Zhou. It was the first time for Ning Xi to know that Meng Shuangshuang sang so well. If you participate in any draft activities, you will be popular in no time.

Singing and singing, Meng Shuangshuang suddenly opened her eyes: "Ningxi, I want to eat noodles, boiled noodles, with two big poached eggs hidden on the surface."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Ning Xi immediately stood up and walked out, Meng Shuangshuang stood up and shouted behind her, "Just use the most common type of noodles, without adding anything except salt, Also, the poached egg should be hidden under the noodles!"

"Then I..." Aunt Zhou stopped humming and looked at Meng Shuangshuang hesitantly, who showed her signature sweet smile: "Aunt Zhou, go ahead and thank you today!"

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "You're welcome, the girl's hometown is from Jiangnan, isn't she homesick?" Today, she is humming a folk tune from the Jiangnan area. Generally, children who grow up in Jiangnan listen to it. My mother grew up humming this little tune.

Meng Shuangshuang said: "My mother is from Jiangnan. When she was a child, she always hummed this song when she was working at home. Aunt Zhou, I miss my mother." Buried in her arms, Aunt Zhou had the fragrance of acacia, which was the same as the smell of Mother in the impression.

Aunt Zhou caressed her hair lovingly: "I'm also from Jiangnan. Ever since I married my dead ghost man and followed him to the capital, I haven't gone back for many years, dear boy, if you feel homesick, go back and have a look. Well, your parents will definitely miss you too!"

Meng Shuangshuang shook his head: "My parents are gone, I was sold by my uncle to be a maid in a big family at a very young age, and finally got out and never wanted to go back."

"The girl is very prosperous now and can make a lot of money in the city. Your parents will know about it, and you will be very pleased."

When Ning Xi came in, Meng Shuangshuang was still coquettish in Aunt Zhou's arms, Ning Xi laughed at her: "How old you are, he still looks like a child."

Meng Shuangshuang said: "Everyone is like you. You are young, you are not as old as me, you are always on a shelf, pretending to be an adult." He took the noodle bowl with both hands, put it under his nose and inhaled deeply. With a sigh of relief, "Well, that's what it tastes like."

Take the chopsticks and poke it, and there are indeed two fat poached eggs hidden inside, poke it, and a little loose, the golden egg yolk flows out along the chopsticks, Meng Shuangshuang **** intoxicated , savoring it carefully, and then began to eat the noodles in big mouthfuls.

"Ningxi, do you know? When I was young, my family was poor. My parents only gave birth to a girl, and I was always looked down upon by the family. I didn't have anything good to eat since I was a child, but every time I got sick, my mother would Under the eyes of my grandma, my aunt and my aunt, I made a bowl of white noodles for me, and secretly hidden two poached eggs in it. I was afraid of being found out. The egg yolk inside will flow out like this, it is very delicious, this is the best noodles I have ever eaten in my life." He couldn't help but sniff.

Ningxi handed her a handkerchief, and Meng Shuangshuang wiped the corners of her eyes embarrassedly: "This side is so delicious, it makes me want to cry."

"This is the most common boiled noodles, is it really that delicious?"

"Really, it's the best." Meng Shuangshuang affirmed.

Ning Xi smiled and watched her gobble. She knew that the delicious food was not the noodles, but the beautiful memories of her childhood. When a person is most vulnerable, the first thing that comes to his mind is definitely not the most expensive food he has ever eaten. It must be a porridge and a meal that I am most familiar with when I was a child.

"That's right!" Ning Xi slapped her thigh, "That's it, as long as I find out the most familiar taste for the princess when she was a child, I will definitely be able to arouse her appetite again." After speaking, she hurriedly walked out.

"Where are you going, Ningxi? It's getting dark, you haven't had dinner yet!"

"I have something important to go out, so you don't have to wait for me to eat."

"Where are you going, in such a hurry?"

"Wait when I get back!" Ning Xi left a sentence and hurried out.

Walking all the way to the intersection of Prince Qi's Mansion, Ning Xi stopped suddenly. What she was looking for was not the Prince of Qi at all. On the contrary, the thought in her mind just started, and the first figure that appeared in her heart. It's the fifth master. If you think about it carefully, it is probably because he is the only person other than King Qi who knows the secret of Princess Qi's illness. When she thinks of this method, the first person she wants to share is the fifth master.

But she didn't know the true identity of the Fifth Lord Jun, and she didn't know where to find him. Thinking about it carefully, her friendship with the Prince of Qi is just average, why would anyone want to help you find someone?

Thinking about this, Ning Xi really regretted it to death. When he saved Fifth Master Jun last night, he should have asked him for a token, and agreed that the token could be exchanged for a chance to repay.

While hesitating, there was the sound of horse hooves behind him, Ning Xi turned his head in a trance, and he was just a few steps away from rushing towards her. Ning Xi was so frightened that he didn't have time to react, he only knew that he covered his hands with his hands. eyes.

I vaguely know that the horse made an emergency stop and stopped beside her with a long neigh. The hot air from the horse's nose sprayed on her face, and a man's laughter sounded beside her ear: "Hahahaha, Are you an ostrich? Think nothing will happen if you cover your eyes?"

Ning Xi threw away her hand in a rage, slandering in her heart that this man was not doing well at home to recover from his injuries, and ran out to be scary, suddenly remembering that he had something to ask for, he hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Jun Wu Ye, I have something to call you. ."

"Find me?"

"I would like you to do me a favor, I want to..."

"Wait a minute." Jun Qianyu made a stop gesture and jumped off the horse, "Why should I help you?"

"Because, because I bandaged the wound for you last night and left you for one night!"

"But in return, I have told you the secret of Princess Qi's illness!"

"Then you still took my carriage into the city today!"

"On your broken carriage, I'm ashamed to say that you still spit on me, and I haven't settled the bill with you!"

Ning Xi was most afraid of this point, and blushed and said, "Then what do you want me to do to be willing to help me?"

Jun Qianyu thought for a while and said, "Well, after this is done, you have to make ten dishes for me, each of which must be unique, peculiar enough, and delicious."

Ning Xi thought about the lack of dishes in this era and the all-encompassing recipes in her heart. She felt that this request was not difficult, so she readily agreed: "Okay, no problem!"

Seeing that she agreed so readily, Jun Qianyu felt that he was at a disadvantage, so he added: "You must get my approval to pass a dish. I don't agree, it doesn't count, otherwise if If you fool me with just a few ordinary dishes, wouldn't I be at a loss."

"Don't worry, Lord Jun, Ning Xi will do his best to make the most exotic dishes for the Fifth Lord."

"Okay, tell me what you want me to do for you."

"I want to know what the princess was most familiar with when she was a child."

This sentence has no beginning or end. It is rare that Jun Qianyu understands after listening to it: "So you want to impress the princess with the taste that she was most familiar with when she was a child. This is a good idea."

"I wonder if you have a way to help me find out, Fifth Master?"

Jun Qianyu pondered: "Although this is not easy, it is not too difficult. Let's go back first, and I will notify you as soon as I have news."

Ning Xi clasped his fists with both hands: "Then I would like to thank you, Fifth Master."

Jun Qianyu waved his hand: "You're welcome, just remember that you owe me ten dishes, go back and think about what you want to do for me." With one hand on the reins, he turned over his horse neatly, and said Unrestrained, Ning Xi couldn't help but add: "Pay attention to the injury on your hand."

Jun Qianyu smiled indifferently: "This little injury is not in the way." After speaking, he quickly walked away.

Ningxi had one thing on her mind, and walked back to Shuangxi Tower happily. When everyone saw her smiling happily, they all came to ask her what happened. She thought it was related to the princess's *, so don't let it go. Too many people know it well, so they casually talk about something else to cover up the past.

I didn't expect Jun Qianyu to do things so fast. He came to Shuangxi Building to find her in person early the next morning. At that time, Ningxi only ate half of his breakfast. Li also grabbed half of the flower scroll and ran out.

As soon as Jun Qianyu saw her, he pulled her into the carriage without saying a word: "Let's go to Lezhou, if you have anything else to say on the way."

The guy from Shuangxi Tower watched his owner being pulled into a luxurious carriage, and hurried back to the back, shouting, "No, Ning Dong's family has been robbed. !”

……

Ning Xi held half a flower roll in his hand, and neither threw it away nor threw it away. After hesitating for a while, he decided to settle it in two mouthfuls and said, "Why are you going to Lezhou?"

"Prince Qi's father, General Feng Lao, has returned to his hometown and moved his home away from the capital. Princess Qi's biological mother died early, and she was brought up by her wet nurse, Granny Qin, since she was a child. She must be the one who gives you the answer."
