Chapter 18: birthday

Less than a day after Liu Qinghuan's detention, General Xue was lifted.
But I was still counting lotus.
"Ma'am, you haven't seen it, General Puppet is soaked into a hoe, it's pitiful."
"Yeah, Keke!" Liu Qinghuan, after listening to Qing Ye's words, almost smiled and sprayed the crispy butter in his mouth. She thought for a while, and she was troubled by what she said. If he really became a gimmick ... then she must taste a hahaha.
After Liu Qing laughed enough, she finally stood up from the seat with conscience and found out: "Red peach green sedge, let's go to the lotus pond to see."
The noon sun is a little bit spicy, but the lotus pond is learning the cool breeze. Liu Qinghuan suddenly feels that Xue Mu has been living by the lotus, just because it is cooler here?
"Thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six ..."
Liu Qinghuan glanced at the cricket in the water, and that intently focused side face was really moving: "Hey, won't you really spend two days here, right?"
She said she threw a small pebble into the pool, and after a "plop" into the water, she suddenly became irritable: "Ah, ah! How much I count!"
"Twenty-one," Liu Qinghuan replied.
"Oh oh oh oh, twenty-two, twenty-three ..."
Red peach barley: "..."
They felt that General Ye was going crazy.
Liu Qinghuan blinked, and threw a small pebble in the past, but this time he hit him directly: "Stupid child, if Hou Ye punished you intentionally, it would be useless to count clearly."
Xu Wenyan looked at him with tears in his face: "Woohoo Ural, I counted six times, and Houye's answer has always been 'the number is wrong, the number is heavy.'"
Liu Qinghuan glanced at him with sympathy: "You have been soaking in the water?"
"No, I came out quietly when Lord Hou wasn't there, even at night." After he said it, he threw a guilty glance at the lotus side, "Don't let Lord Hou know."
Liu Qing thought for a while and asked, "How many flowers have you counted?"
Martyrdom: "51 red lotus flowers, 27 blue lotus flowers, 33 white lotus flowers, and 18 yellow lotus flowers."
Liu Qinghuan nodded his head: "I know, I'll help you tell Hou Ye."
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to see the truth! Thank you Urara!" I was moved to tears, completely forgetting that I ended up in this end because of Liu Qinghuan's merciless planting.
Liu Qinghuan smiled at him and walked across the pontoon to the lotus.
Xue Mu was taking a nap in the room, and when he heard the knock on the door, he answered in a low voice: "Come in."
Liu Qinghuan gently pushed open the door, Xue Mu glanced in her direction, and there was a drowsiness in her eyes. With a soup cup in his hand, Liu Qinghuan walked across from Xue Mu and sat down, "Did you disturb Houye?"
"Anyway." Xue Mu sat upright and smiled at her, "Qingqing has nothing to do with me?"
Liu Qinghuan opened the soup cup on the case table and handed it to Xue Mu: "This is the mung bean soup specially cooked in the small kitchen. After I let Qingyu use it for ice, I brought some to Hou Ye."
Xue Mu looked at the cool mung bean soup in the soup, and scooped up a spoon with a spoon: "Thank you."
"Why would Hou Ye be so kind to me." Liu Qinghuan smiled at him, and asked him, "Sweet?"
"Very sweet." Xue Mu pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth bent slightly.
"Jia Hou likes it." Liu Qing laughed twice and said, "Yes, I just passed the lotus pond, and when I saw the number of flowers in it, he told me to tell Hou Ye, a total of 51 red lotus flowers. There are 27 blue lotuses, 33 white lotuses, and 18 yellow lotuses. "
"Really?" Xue Mu smiled, and said to Liu Qinghuan, "When you go back later, let him out."
"I see." Liu Qinghuan put down his heart, it seemed that Hou Ye didn't want to play him dead. After accompanying Mu Mu for a few days, Liu Qinghuan got up and left. Seeing her coming out of the lotus, she waved her hand vigorously, "Urala, what's up!"
Liu Qinghuan said: "Hou Ye let you out."
Just a moment of joy passed by, and he climbed up from the lotus pond sadly. Liu Qinghuan saw that he was still a puppet, and was curious, "Why did he come up and return this picture?"
I sucked my nose and looked at her sadly: "I remember when I first told Hou Ye, that was the number."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
"You must be mistaken." She could only comfort him.
After coming out of the lotus pond, Xue Mu was thrown into the barracks to train recruits. Nuo Yan glanced at the crickets, and said to Xue Mu standing by: "Zhou Jinjin couldn't find the cuckoo, and he insisted that the cult fanatics stole his paintings and went to the Temple of He almost every day."
Xue Mu looked at the well-trained recruit in front of her, and pursed her lips with a low laugh: "Aes is a good move, enough for Tang Zibo to be upset for a while."
Nuo Yan thought about it and asked, "Master Hou, do you really know that you know where the real painting is?"
"Um." Xue Mu simply returned a word this time, and Nuo Yan saw that he didn't want to say more about it, so he retreated behind him and stopped talking.
At Aes House, Yi Jin shook the pendant around his waist and glanced at the drinker sitting next to him: "The ghost hand drew a total of three fake paintings, one was sold to us and one was sold to Tang Zibo And a pair sold to an unknown woman. "
"An unknown woman?" Aers narrowed his eyes slightly and drank the wine from the altar. "Azalea?"
Yi Jin thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. Don't you think it's strange that Xue Mu's wife appeared at Zhou Jinjin's banquet? And still as Anaye."
Aers pursed his thin lips. He also thought that "Anaye" was a little weird, so he took her away together: "I asked someone to find out, the real Anaye said to help her not be bought by Zhou Jinjin . "
Yi Jin smiled: "I can't think Mrs. Hou is so enthusiastic."
Aes looked at him for a while and asked, "Do you suspect that Cuckoo is just a cover for Xue Mu, and the real painting is actually in his hands?"
Yi Jindao: "Xue Mu is so clever that it is not surprising to come up with such a strategy."
Aers lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "It seems to have to find a chance to visit him."
Yi Jin jumped from the window and smiled and said to Aes: "I heard that Xue Mu's birthday is at the beginning of next month."
On the first day of June, Xue Mu was 20 years old, but Liu Qinghuan remembered it one day in advance. No, it should have been known.
It's too late to make shoes with embroidered brocade bags, and ... she won't.
She took a bite of the crystal dragon and phoenix cake and blinked. Why not make some snacks?
"Qing Ye."
She yelled, and the green cricket who was on the side walked up quickly: "What's your lady asking?" Liu Qinghuan said, "How is this crystal dragon and phoenix cake made?"
"Mrs. Hui, this cake is made from glutinous rice, and then red dates are made into the shape of dragons and phoenixes, inlaid on the cake surface, and finally steamed in a high basket."
After hearing this, Liu Qinghuan moved his brows subtly: "Making red dates into the shape of dragon and phoenix?"
"Yes."
"Red dates can be made into the shape of a dragon and a phoenix?"
"Return to Madam, you can."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
She thinks she'll do the noodles. Well, longevity noodles feel pretty good.
So she really went to the kitchen the next day and gave a bowl of longevity noodles. Although it was just a bowl of noodles, it took a lot of thought. The soup below is a bone soup that has been boiled all night, and there are eggs, vegetables, and shiitake mushrooms in the noodles. Liu Qing smelled it and almost couldn't help eating it.
Fearing batter, Liu Qinghuan flew to the lotus almost with light work, and she was almost moved to cry.
"Houye?" Liu Qinghuan glanced into the lotus pond with a probe. Xue Mugang returned from the army, and the armor had not been removed from his body. When I saw Liu Qinghuan coming in, I was a little surprised: "Qing Qing?"
It was the first time Liu Qinghuan saw Xue Mu wearing a uniform, and he paused before saying, "Today is Hou Ye ’s birthday. I deliberately ordered a bowl of longevity noodles. Hou Ye wants to taste it?"
Xue Mu glanced at the food container she was holding, and her eyes gradually filled with a smile: "Okay."
Liu Qinghuan opened the food container, the noodle soup in the bowl was thick, and the side dishes were fragrant and tempting. She couldn't help pinching her lips. Well, fortunately, there is no batter. She glanced at Xue Mu, and frowned slightly: "Houye is not convenient to eat like this, why not change clothes first?"
"Anyway, it's the same in the military, and the noodles will paste for a long time." Xue Mu lifted up the chopsticks, took a chopstick noodle and put it in her mouth. Liu Qing looked at him with intent eyes and saw him swallow the long noodles, and then asked, "How does it taste?"
Xue Mu said: "Very good, I like it very much."
Liu Qinghuan was relieved and smiled at him: "If Grandpa Hou likes it, I will make it for you every year."
Xue Mu held his chopsticks for a while. He looked at Liu Qinghuan for a long time before he put down his chopsticks and said, "Liu Qinghuan, you promise me what you want to do."
Liu Qinghuan suddenly felt uncomfortable, her eyes flashed, and she lowered her head and said, "Well."
Unfortunately, she is just a liar.
Xue Mu didn't say anything after that, but concentrated on eating noodles. After a bowl of noodles bottomed out, even the soup drank cleanly. He put down his chopsticks and deliberately told Liu Qinghuan: "If you waste food, you will go to hell."
Liu Qinghuan froze. He remembered everything she said?
She stood up to clean up the chopsticks, and pretended to ask easily: "What's your wish, Hou Ye?"
"Wish?" Xue Mu thought for a moment, then suddenly held her hand, "Compared with the long time in heaven and earth, life is just a snap. Life, old, sick and death are normal, but I always want to be with you for a long time Are they too greedy together? "
Liu Qinghuan looked at him and couldn't say a word.
Lying is as natural as breathing to her, but Master has warned her that cheating cannot lie to feelings, because sooner or later you have to pay back.
"Houye."
Nuo Yan's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Xue Mu let go of Liu Qinghuan's hand and asked, "What is it?"
Nuo Yan said: "Aears seeks." 2k novel reading network
