The sky outside was dim and bright. In the long and narrow corridor, the oil lamp was swayed by the wind that seeped in from the window. In this dim and yellow corridor, which was not as bright as the outside, the figure of a young man turned into afterimages. Walking through the floors of Xingyuan.
In front of him, a woman wearing a black short skirt and a white short-sleeved shirt had just passed by a window. From behind, she could see the long, straight legs of Xue Bai. , with her silky long hair hanging behind her back, there is something special about wanting people to take a look at what kind of woman she is.
She felt a wind behind her that was different from the wind outside the window blowing into her neck. The hairs all over her body were standing on trees, and she almost had no strength to walk. She had never encountered such a thing. She turned her head slightly, and her peripheral vision was bright. She found a dark shadow behind her at the intersection of light and dark, and her brain instantly went cold.
The people behind were also stunned, but soon regained their composure.
"Miss Zhou Lu, you got up very early."
A normal man's voice came from behind her. Her somewhat numb body turned around and squinted her eyes. She still couldn't see the world clearly when she got up. After a while, she finally recognized the person.
"My lord, it's you, you really scared me to death." She held her chest with her white right hand and patted it hard several times before finally breathing.
"This scares you. I saw you were calm during the day. How could you be so timid?" Shen Jie asked in surprise.
"That's how you treat distinguished guests, of course." She turned her head slightly and looked at the young man walking side by side with her, and she was a little bit blaming him. Her heart still hasn't calmed down. In fact, if she hadn't gotten it in Xingyuan The monthly money was so high that she really didn't want to come here, not because of the big family.
"I understand." Shen Jie replied.
She saw that Shen Jie didn't talk to her like a high-ranking official, and she suddenly felt that the distance between her and him was not that big: "Do you think you Jin Yiwei are all so magical?"
"What do you think? Zhou Lu, where is Xingyuan's kitchen here?" Shen Jie asked.
"Do you want to cook for your wife?" Zhou Lu looked at him in surprise. She regretted it as soon as she said this. In the past, she only asked so many questions in front of acquaintances, and it was easiest in front of strangers. Cause embarrassment.
"When you go out, you're most afraid of being poisoned. It's best to cook your own food." Shen Jie glanced at her with a smile.
"You are so straightforward." Zhou Lu replied speechlessly. She remembered that he was a superior Qianhu Master, and quickly added: "You shouldn't be angry if I talk like this."
"How is it possible? I am also a human being, and my identity is something external. Sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable. Or you just treat me as an ordinary person. Isn't it normal to take care of your family and brothers?" Shen Jay said.
"I didn't expect Mr. Shen to have such a side. The capable men here never go to the kitchen. The fact that you can condescend to do this, sir, shows that you love your wife very much." Zhou Lu said seriously.
"While we were chatting, you became serious. I may not be able to burn that much alone in a while. You can help me make a start. Or you can make something delicious if you have any ideas. I will help you." Shen Jay said with a raised eyebrow.
"It's not like you adults. If you are unhappy, you will fight and make trouble. What can we servants do? We can only follow what you say." Zhou Lu waved her hands helplessly, thinking that she might as well not do it just now. come out.
"You don't want to?" Shen Jie saw that she looked a little tired.
"I really want to sleep, but you have given me your orders, sir. Are you going to let me go if I say I won't do it?" Zhou Lu said very seriously, but she automatically laughed after saying that. So that Shen Jie could understand that she was just joking.
"It's power that limits you." Shen Jie replied.
She didn't expect that he would tell her so much, and she couldn't help but feel a little fluttery in her heart. She had a hunch that this adult wouldn't like her.
"We little people are satisfied if we can earn a little monthly money to support our families. We really can't rely on power," she replied.
The two walked side by side and soon came to the outside of Xingyuan. It was still raining outside, and there was a sound of rain falling into the forest. The mountain breeze brought a coolness. Zhou Lu quickly wrapped her hands around herself, but The wind blowing on her legs still made her tremble all over.
"Sir, that's where the cooking place is." Her green and jade-like finger pointed to the one-story thatched cottage made of stones on the right.
The door was locked, and she waved to the strong man in green who was standing in front of the door and looked at her all the way. The man's expression quickly became serious, and he was still a little nervous. After all, there was that man next to her. Lord Shen of Qianhu.
"Miss Zhou." He came up and said.
"Hand over the key to the kitchen." Zhou Lu ordered with a serious face.
The man immediately ran into the lobby. The young man next to her had not seen all this and was still enjoying the fresh air outside in the early morning.
Not long after, the strong man handed over the key respectfully.
Walking in the cornice pavilion leading to the kitchen, the rainwater dripped continuously on the cornice. The vines taller than a person beside it blocked most of the light in the sky outside.
The kitchen is nearly more than 100 square meters and consists of five pot stations. A variety of vegetables are neatly placed on a marble platform in the middle.
"I just want to make breakfast for them. I won't tire you." Shen Jie looked at her worried face.
"That's what you said. Even you officials can't care about the lives of little people like us, otherwise we will resist." She said without any politeness.
