Chapter 183: Let’s eat and chirp, pick our feet and cross our legs
When the hot temperature on her face subsided, Xiaolan returned to her room in despair.
"Sister Lan, you are finally back!" Qiuzhu felt happy when he saw Xiaolan coming back. He stood up and welcomed Xiaolan in.
"Huh?" Xiaolan was startled when she heard someone was in her room. She took a closer look and found that it was Qiuzhu, and she was relieved. "Well! I'm back."
Qiu Zhu scratched his head in confusion when he saw her being distracted, not knowing what was going on with her.
"Sister Lan, where's the food?" Qiuzhu looked left and right and didn't see any food boxes in her hand, so he asked quickly.
"Ah!" Xiaolan screamed as if she had just woken up from a dream, and said apologetically, "Sister Zhu, I'm sorry, I...I forgot!"
"Forgot? Then what have you been doing since you were out for so long?" Qiuzhu felt anxious and sat down on the chair, pouting aggrievedly, "I'm almost starving to death! It's not like you don't know, if I don't I feel so hungry after just one meal!"
"This..." Xiaolan looked at Qiuzhu sheepishly and said cautiously, "But the young master and the others have already finished eating, and the kitchen has already turned off the flames. I'm afraid there is nothing left to eat in the kitchen now!"
"Ah? What should I do?" Qiuzhu felt so wronged that he wanted to cry. If he had known that this would happen, he should have looked at the almanac. Misfortunes never come singly.
"How about I go to the kitchen to take a look again?" Xiaolan said cautiously, "Don't worry, I promise I won't forget it this time!"
"Forget it!" Qiuzhu shook his head and refused, with a complaint in his tone, "I'm afraid you won't come back after you leave!"
"No!" Hearing her complaint, Xiaolan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The young master drank too much just now, and I happened to hit him, so I just took the opportunity to help the young master go back to his room!"
"Oh!" Qiuzhu nodded clearly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"Then please, Sister Lan, please go to the kitchen to look for something to eat. I'm really hungry now."
"Okay, then wait for me here for a while, I promise to be back soon." Xiaolan stood up, comforted Qiuzhu, and hurried towards the kitchen.
Xiaolan walked to the kitchen, and sure enough, the fire had been turned off and it was dark there. He secretly opened the kitchen door and searched for food in the dark.
But after searching for a long time, I only found a bowl of hot porridge that was still warm, two cucumbers, and three steamed buns.
Xiaolan looked at the miserable food in the food box in her hand and felt a headache. What should she tell Qiuzhu when she went back?
I had brought a roasted chicken, two pots of roasted knives, three elbows, four plates of stir-fried dishes, and five steamed buns before, just to make her half full, but now she could even make these to fill her belly. Less than.
"Hey! That's it! It's better than empty-handed!" Xiaolan sighed, "It's all the young master's fault. If he hadn't interrupted midway, I wouldn't be so embarrassed."
I looked around again and saw that there was really nothing edible in the kitchen, so I had no choice but to return in frustration.
"Sister Zhu, I'm back." Just when Qiu Zhu was waiting in a panic, Xiaolan finally came.
Qiuzhu looked at the door and saw Xiao Lanti sliding the food box. Her face suddenly lit up with joy and she took the food box with compliments, "Sister Lan, you've done it!"
But when she opened the lid of the food box, the expression on her face instantly solidified, and she stared at the food in the food box.
A bowl of hot porridge, two cucumbers, and three steamed buns. Not even miso!
"Sister Lan!" Qiuzhu looked at Xiaolan with a sad face, "Is that all?"
"Hehe!" Xiaolan twitched her lips awkwardly, "That's all!"
"What can these be used for?" Qiuzhu picked up a cucumber and took a big bite, muttering inarticulately, "These are not enough for me to fill my teeth! And if you just take cucumbers, why don't you take a bowl Doenjang? This cucumber might as well be eaten dry!"
"Bamboo sister!" Xiaolan listened to her complaint and was a little embarrassed at first, but after hearing her last words, the apology in her heart disappeared immediately, and she angrily snatched the half-eaten cucumber from her hand, " If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it! It took me a long time to find this in the kitchen!"
"Hey!" Qiuzhu quickly snatched the cucumber from Xiaolan's hand and took out another complete cucumber from the food box with a smile. "Don't grab it! This is all there is to eat! If you want to use it, use it." This one is complete, this one is straighter!”
"Sister Zhu! I think your skin is itchy!" Xiaolan was furious and raised her hand to slap her on the head hard.
"Ouch!" Zhumei was in pain. She covered her head and hugged Xiaolan's shoulders with a playful smile. She whispered in her ear with an ambiguous voice, "Sister Lan, you have been with King Qi for such a long time. Why don't you Could it be that you haven’t consummated your marriage with him yet?”
"Bah! Do you think everyone is like you? You'll think about that when you're full!" Qiuzhu's breathing made her ears itch when she spoke. She was not ashamed to think about being with the four sisters and His Majesty before coming to China again. Life, a touch of red glow appeared on the face involuntarily.
"Eh! No!" Qiuzhu looked at the blushing Xiao Lan in surprise, "Isn't King Qi a perverted evil spirit that makes people change their minds after hearing this? Sister Lan, you look so lovely, how could he let you go? If I were King Qi, I would eagerly eat up this little lamb like you."
"Haven't you ever heard that rabbits don't eat grass from their nests?" Xiaolan looked at her with disdain, a look of pride on her face. "Young master is not the kind of person who gets motivated by sex! What he does in front of others is out of necessity. .”
"Zizzizi! I didn't expect that Sister Lan, who has always been proud and arrogant, would have such a high opinion of King Qi. It's really strange." He clasped his feet with one hand and held a cucumber in the other hand, crunching. Qiuzhu, who was chewing, teased.
"That's right!" When talking about Bi Yuntao, Xiaolan looked proud. Anyway, this is her sister, there is no need to hide her, sooner or later she will know what kind of person Bi Yuntao is.
"That's strange. Your Majesty said that King Qi has been seduced by your beauty. Why haven't you consummated your marriage with him now?"
Qiu Zhu smelled the fingers that were picking at her feet, and a stink came over her. She fanned her nose in disgust to dissipate the stink lingering in her nostrils. After the smell dissipated, he chewed the cucumber and used his hands to pick up the steamed buns in the food box.
"Snapped!"
"Ouch! Sister Lan, what are you doing!" Qiuzhu rubbed the back of his hands in pain.
"You don't know how to wash your hands before eating after you've done the kicking?"
"Hehe, it doesn't stink at all. If you don't believe it, just smell it!" Qiuzhu stretched out his hand that had finished holding his feet with a playful smile.
"Get up!" Xiaolan pushed her away in disgust, "Hurry and wash your hands! Otherwise, you won't be able to continue eating!"
"Just go!" Qiuzhu curled his lips and reluctantly got up and walked to the basin nearby to wash his hands, then took a steamed bun and started to eat it.
"You haven't answered my previous question yet!" Qiuzhu chewed the steamed buns and said inarticulately, "Why didn't King Qi consummate the marriage with you?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Xiaolan glared at her, "I can't stop you from eating!"
"Oh!" Seeing that Xiaolan was a little angry, Qiuzhu closed her mouth knowingly.
"That's right! I'm just here to get you something to eat, and I haven't asked you why His Majesty sent you here?"
But after Xiaolan waited for a long time, she didn't see Qiuzhu speak, only her chirping sound.
"Speak!" Xiaolan kicked her angrily. Seeing her picking her feet and pouting at the same time, her stomach was churning.
Qiuzhu is pretty good in that respect, but she really doesn't dare to be complimented because of her foot-picking problem. Even His Majesty can't stand this problem of hers and punishes her every time he sees her. However, she refuses to change despite repeated admonitions and still goes her own way. If she hadn't been his sister, His Majesty would have expelled her from the palace just because she picked her feet.
"You didn't let me say it!" Qiuzhu said aggrievedly as he rubbed his aching calf.
"I..." Xiaolan took a deep breath and calmed down the anger in her heart, "That was just now, now hurry up!"
"Oh! Your Majesty asked me to help you!" Qiuzhu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiaolan, "Your Majesty received your message, and Sister Chunmei and Xiaoju couldn't leave, so they had to send me. !”
Xiaolan opened the letter and took a look, then raised her head and looked at Qiuzhu strangely, "Are you sure this is written by His Majesty?"
"Yes! I saw it written by His Majesty with my own eyes." Qiuzhu nodded affirmatively.
"Oh!" Xiaolan said angrily, "Your Majesty seems to be short of money recently! He actually asked me to help buy good silk!"
"Uh, I took the wrong one!" Qiuzhu, who was sniffing his fingers under his nose, was startled. He quickly grabbed the letter and put it into his arms. He took out another letter from his arms, "This is Sister Chunmei gave it to me, and this letter is from His Majesty to you!"
"You!" Xiaolan said bitterly after receiving the letter, "Can't you change your irritability? I really don't know whether His Majesty sent you here to help me or to cause trouble for me!"
"Then what else did your Majesty say?" Xiaolan read the letter carefully from beginning to end and threw it into the brazier.
"His Majesty asked you to make progress faster. The gangsters on the border are ready to move. They are already at war with each other. They urgently need firearms to supplement their military strength."
After hearing Qiuzhu's words, Xiaolan bit her lip with a complicated mood and remained silent for a long time. In the end, her complicated mood turned into a sigh.
"Oh! That's right!" Qiuzhu rubbed his fingers that were digging into his feet and put them under his nose to smell, "I was robbed on the way today. Sister Lan, if you help me find them, I must teach that person a lesson." Bastard. How dare you even rob me? I’m really tired of living!"
Qiu Zhu suddenly thought of the bad guy and girl he met on the road today. They were also heading towards the capital. It was just right for them to ask Sister Lan to help them find them. When they found them, they must let that bastard know how powerful he was and how dared to look down on them. I am really intolerable to my uncle, but intolerable to my aunt. As for that woman, forget it, she was probably threatened by that bastard.
"Huh? Is there anything more like this?" Xiaolan's thoughts were interrupted by her, "Tell me in detail what the person who robbed you looks like, and it will make me happy!"
"Sister Lan! Why are you like this?" Qiuzhu didn't expect that Xiaolan would gloat and pouted aggrievedly, "It's okay if you don't help me, and you still make fun of me!"
"Stop pretending to be pitiful!" Xiaolan glared at her, "If it had been someone else, I might still feel sorry for you! Look at you now, you are chewing on a steamed bun, pouting, picking at your feet and crossing your legs. You don't look like a girl at all. !”
"If you don't eat, it won't taste good!" Qiuzhu pursed her lips aggrievedly, sniffing the fingers that were picking at her feet. "Eat, then, and chew your lips. The steamed buns are quite beautiful. You pick your feet and cross your legs. Life is interesting! Sister Lan, do you want it? Try it?"
"Get out of here!" Seeing that she was not ashamed, but proud of her, Xiaolan was so angry that she cursed, "Hurry up, finish your meal, and go to bed! Tomorrow you can tell me about the robbery." If you know what your person looks like, I can send someone to find him!"
Xiaolan angrily closed the curtains, never wanting to see her picking her feet and mouthing the disgusting look again.
