Chapter 88:

After lunch, everyone continued on their way.
Arriving at the post at night, everyone stopped for a rest.
Xie Xun Xijie, the first time he arrived at the station, he asked someone to bring some hot water to take a shower. He just stepped into the tub and was ready to take a bath. Suddenly he noticed something was wrong, how could he vaguely feel that someone was shaking outside the house.
It was not unusual at this time. There was a small servant guarding the door when going out. Now there is no one to guard the door, anyone can come in.
Although this kind of thinking is very strange, Xie Xun still feels that he should be more careful, not to let a woman other than Jiang Shuyao look at his body.
He settled down and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.
"Boom." The people outside just knocked on the door lightly and paused. They should have heard a slight splash of water inside the house.
With this one action, you can judge who is outside the house.
Xie Xun stood up and stretched out his hand to hook his clothes. At this moment, there was movement outside the house.
"Ah!" A stern woman scream cut through the sky.
The young lady outside turned around and almost ran into Lin Cheng who was silent behind her.
The candlelight at the station was already dim, and half of Lin Cheng's face was hidden in the shaking shadow, which was really terrifying.
The young lady covered her heart and was so scared that Hua Rong turned pale: "This lord, what's the matter with you?"
Lin Cheng has a good temper, but it is not an unconditional good temper.
He frowned and looked at the young lady here, her expression not very good: "What are you doing while standing here?"
He looked at Xie Xun's door and then at her. He seemed to have guessed her intentions, with a look of disgust on his face: "Miss, please respect yourself."
The young lady accidentally heard the elders in Jingli talk about Xie Xun's marriage, and she knew the story behind Jiang Shuyao and Xie Xun's marriage. In her opinion, Xie Xun is a jade-faced man with a good temperament and a good family background. He has a promising future and is the best son in the capital. As long as he puts his face, who knows whether he can win a good marriage.
She sullen her face and said with a stern face: "My son, please be careful. It's not a gentleman to slander people for no reason."
After she finished speaking confidently, she felt that Xie Xun would not be able to do anything again, so she turned around to go back to the room. Who knows when she turned around, there was a large group of people standing behind her.
They were equally dark and looked at her together.
"Ah!" She screamed again, barely recognizing these people as the adults she saw in the day.
But why, their eyes are so terrifying, like the evil wolf that came out late at night in folklore for food, with a faint green light in their eyes.
She was so frightened that she took a few steps backwards and almost ran into Lin Cheng.
She calmed down. She didn't have any confidence just now. She didn't dare to walk in front of this group of people, so she was going to detour from Lincheng and return to the room.
"Ah!" As soon as he turned his head, there were a few more people in the corridor where Lin Cheng had been standing alone. A group of people surrounded her in the blink of an eye.
Every day, the handsome and noble sons, now as if they have changed, the look in her eyes has changed.
She swallowed and whispered, "Excuse me...can you make way for me?"
Guan Ying glanced at her. Everyone was a brother-in-law who grew up instilled in a gentleman's style.
But at this time he spoke.
Anyway, in the dead of night, there are only them here, who cares about the gentleman and the gentleman. What's more, they have awakened by day, no matter how they are worthy of Miss Jiang.
"Master Xie already has a wife, why did you come here late at night?"
"We let you walk together to do good, and we can leave you behind at any time."
"Okay, Master Xie is not something you can think of. If you want to pester him, you must pass our level first."
The young lady was flushed by them, and she couldn't believe her ears: "You, you?" What happened to them? Could it be that they are still the mother-in-law?
Lin Cheng gave way impatiently: "Come on."
The young lady was shy and angry. She wanted to refute but was afraid of this pedestrian. After all, she used to be polite in a gentleman's style. Now that they have torn their faces, she has no support.
She cried out with a "wow--" and stumbled away.
After seeing her return to the room, the group of people in Donggong barely fell to the ground.
They look at me and I look at you, and they greet tacitly: "Can't sleep?"
"Yes, come out and go around."
"The moonlight is very good tonight."
"A coincidence."
Everyone knows exactly why they are here.
They stood at Xie Xun's door for a while, and Xie Xun's door finally opened.
His temples were slightly wet, and he had just finished bathing.
Everyone was immediately alert. Fortunately, they came out to search for food tonight, otherwise Xie Boyuan would be innocent. How would they explain to Jiang Shuyao?
Xie Xun knew why they came here as soon as they dodged their eyes, but today they are meritorious, and Xie Xun doesn't want to care about them, so he said: "Come in, I'll get some bacon. Let's heat the bacon."
Xie Xun and them went into the kitchen. The kitchen happened to have rice. Xie Xun thought about the method of bacon mentioned in Jiang Shuyao's letter, and said: "Supper, eat something that nourishes the stomach, can you make some meat porridge?"
How could Yi Cheng let them do it themselves, they put on their clothes and came to the kitchen when they heard the movement, and when they heard Xie Xun's words, they quickly grabbed the work of cooking.
Xie Xun did not shirk, and listened to Jiang Shuyao's cooking methods.
Yi Cheng nodded, although he felt that it seemed too simple to do this, but he still did it.
The rice is washed and boiled in the pot. After the sweet and pure rice aroma overflows, add the diced bacon and continue to boil. The salty taste of bacon gradually merged with the mellow rice scent. Fatty oil penetrated into the rice, and the surface of the porridge was slightly greasy. The lean meat was boiled and hidden in the white and thick rice porridge.
The inn was not big, the rooms were reserved for the nobles, and the soldiers squeezed casually in the lobby. The wind was peaceful and gentle at night, and the fresh scent gradually drifted into the lobby. The soldiers who had just laid the mattress smelled the scent, stopped their movements and kept sucking in the scent, and their abdomen screamed like a drum.
The room where Lian Liu lived was close to the young lady. As soon as she entered the room, she began to cry and howled his sleepy bug away.
He got up and dressed, ready to go out and wander around to avoid the plague god, and as soon as he opened the door, a fresh and soft aroma instantly penetrated into his nose.
"Grumbling." He screamed in his stomach, sniffing the aroma and found the kitchen.
Because the lobby is where soldiers slept, it was really unkind for them to go to the lobby to eat supper, so everyone planned to make do with it in the kitchen. Anyway, they weren't silly people.
After Yi Cheng finished cooking the porridge, he returned to his room to rest, and Xie Xie took the initiative to take the task of dividing the porridge.
Although there is no simmering heat, the rice is still boiled softly. Perhaps the gelatin of the fatty meat has been incorporated into the porridge, making the porridge look like tangy and sticky. The rice soup is wrapped in dark pink diced meat and The oily juice has a faint soft luster.
The emerald green onion adorns it, adding a fresh and bright color to the white and thick rice porridge. It looks like a bowl of simple plain porridge, but everyone knows how delicious it should be.
Lian Liu touched the kitchen, and when he saw so many people crowded in the kitchen, he remembered the meat fried by Xie Xun this afternoon, and suddenly understood where the smell came from.
He was about to turn around and leave, but saw the prince yawning from a distance.
The prince seemed to have not woken up yet, but instinctively walked with the smell. When he reached Lian Liu, he was about to salute, but he looked up and smelled with his chin and rubbed him directly. Shoulder to shoulder.
In the silence of the night, Lian Liu seemed to hear the rustling sound of the prince sniffing.
Not all members of the East Palace were present tonight, and those who came did not go to call others tacitly. After all, the fewer people, the more they were divided.
Xie Xun sorted the porridge, and was about to scrape the richest porridge at the bottom of the pot and put it in his bowl, when the prince came.
The prince looked at everyone in confusion, was stunned, came to the table, took a deep breath, the steaming heat wrapped in the delicious smell and penetrated into his nose, and the prince finally woke up from the dull sleep.
"This is midnight snack?"
Xie Xun had no choice but to say nothing from the prince. He took another bowl and poured it on him: "Yes."
The prince held the bowl in both hands, and the warmth reached his palms. He spoke a lot slower than usual: "It's good. Bo Yuan, it's good."
Xie Xun silently stayed away from the awake prince, and drank porridge aside.
Everyone was drinking the porridge, and the prince suddenly remembered: "Hey, I just came in as if I saw someone standing at the door."
Everyone was stunned, and the person who was near the door went out and took a look, and everyone heard his voice ringing outside the door: "General Lien."
After a few polite words, Lian Liu came in behind him.
Seeing everyone's eyes cast, he picks his face, a little embarrassed.
Lin Cheng was holding the bowl, and seeing him coming, he casually mentioned: "By the way, that lady, let's not go with her tomorrow. We have been delayed on the road for too long these days, and we need to step up the way in the next few days."
Lian Liu thought about the cry that he had just heard, and seemed to understand something: "Master Lin, even if she offends you, she is a weak woman, so she shouldn't be." Lian Liu is not a fake, just staying in the barracks. I have never seen a sinister heart.
Lin Cheng glanced at him, did not speak, sipped the porridge slowly, and gently rubbed it with his tongue, so that the plump rice melted in his mouth, the mellow and sweet rice fragrance lingered on the tip of his tongue, warming into his stomach. I feel very comfortable.
"Ah." He sighed, "It's so fragrant."
Swipe the Sixth Adam's apple and pull his face again.
No one at the scene paid any attention to him. Lian Liu couldn't stand awkwardly and was about to leave. Xie Xun stopped him: "General Lien, there is more than half a bowl here, do you want it?"
Lian Liu hesitated for a moment, but reached out his hand and took the porridge bowl.
The moment he took the bowl, he suddenly thought of Xie Xun as if the young lady had been pestering him a few days ago. Thinking of what he said just now, he was a little red-faced. After thanking him, he held the bowl and walked into the house sullenly. I am ashamed to stay in the kitchen.
Master Xie is so gentle and polite, he must have been offended to the extreme before thinking about driving people away.
The scent of porridge continued to penetrate into his nasal cavity. He couldn't hold back, standing around the corner and took a sip.
After eating dry buns for several days, he was shocked when he drank a mouthful of fragrant and dense meat porridge.
Jiang Shuyao's bacon does not last long. Compared to bacon, it is more like braised pork. Just eating bacon will not be salty, let alone cooked with porridge. The rice absorbs oil, and the taste is soft and glutinous. It bites into the fleshy scent. The mellow rice scent removes the last bit of greasiness to the fat and thin meat. It tastes silky and fragrant. There is another sweet and refreshing mellow, which is really delicious.
He sighed comfortably, carefully holding the bowl, and prepared to go back to the room to taste it slowly.
As he passed by the young lady's room, the young lady rushed out after hearing the sound, with tears still hanging on her face, and hit him with one head.
Only half a bowl of rice porridge flew away from his hand, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
The young lady was shocked, clutching her chest, and looking at him grievously: "General Lien..." Among the group of people this time, Lien Liu is the most decent. Although it looks rough, she is really lack of heart. , Don’t care about her, not to mention that she often hears people say that the men who come out of the barracks are the most pitiful...
Thinking of this, she felt a little proud, and the expression on her face became more aggrieved, teardrops hanging on her eyelashes, pitiful.
She was about to start crying, keeping the posture of holding the bowl stiffly watching the scattered porridge on the ground move.
He turned to look at the lady.
The young lady was happy, hurry up, ask her why she was crying, she just filed a complaint, he is the only one who can't deal with the group of civil servants here, he will be fair for her--
Then she heard the roar of Lian Liu collapse: "You lose! You lose!"
