"Neck...whole body..."
When it comes to the whole body, the sound becomes silent, it is so embarrassing.
Mrs. Gu Lu raised her hand and pulled her daughter's collar, and saw dots of red plums on her snow-white shoulders and neck. It was obvious that what her daughter said was true.
Gu Xianting was startled and couldn't help but hold her skirt with both hands, fearing that her mother would lift it up.
Mrs. Gu Lu sneered in her heart, this kind of pervert still has some humanity.
There was another round of inquiring questions, all because her daughter was embarrassed, and she paused every word. Gu Lu only understood her somewhat, but it was not as bad as she thought.
Everything was done step by step. I planned to call it a day, so I stood up and said, "Okay, you're tired. Just take a good rest today. I'll go back first."
Seeing that his mother was about to leave, Gu Xianting asked softly: "Mom, are all men so scary?"
Gu Lu was confused: "Terrible?"
Gu Xianting whispered in her mother's ear, and even heaven and earth were unwilling to hear it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu Lu pointed to the chair legs, and Gu Xianting shook her head.
Gu Lu was surprised and pointed at the door axis. Gu Xianting still shook his head.
Gu Lu's beautiful eyes widened, and she started looking for items in the flower hall. Finally, she had an idea, lifted up her sleeves, exposed her snow-white arms, and pointed.
Gu Xianting nodded.
Gu Lu took a breath of air and was speechless for a long time.
After Gu Xianting waited for a while, he said, "Mother?"
Gu Lu came to her senses and said, "Xianting, your husband is not a normal person."
Gu Xianting's pretty face was full of doubts.
"I'm going to teach you all the housekeeping skills, otherwise you'll suffer a lot in the future."
…
In the study, Gu Quan and Xie Fu played the game of chess until noon before deciding the winner.
Gu Quan was eager to have another round with Xie Fu, but Xie Fu declined and said, "My father-in-law, my son-in-law hasn't even had breakfast yet."
Other sons-in-law tried their best to curry favor with their father-in-law on the day they returned home. It would be better to thank Fu. In fact, he wanted to go back to spend time with Xianting.
After Gu Quan was stunned for a moment, he blurted out: "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm no longer a human being."
Xie Fu smiled and listened to Gu Quan say: "Just in time, I told you to go down and let us two brothers have a drink."
Xie Fu felt helpless and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
In the courtyard, although there was no shortage of people in the house, Gu Xianting still cooked for Xie Fu himself. This kind of treatment was only given to Xie Fu.
Her kitchen is also very special, with a variety of kitchen utensils. Some of the kitchen utensils were created by Gu Xianting for convenience and have never been seen elsewhere.
Just for tableware, they range from gold and silver to tin and porcelain.
Next to the kitchen, there are rooms dedicated to storing ingredients, including a fruit room, a rice room, a bait room, an ice room...
These food rooms also store ingredients from all over the world, from fruits to medicinal materials, from rice to frozen products.
Although Xiu'er is Gu Xianting's maid, she doesn't recognize some of the dishes Gu Xianting cooks. This is because Gu Xianting can cook so many dishes that she can't finish them all.
Xiuer didn't recognize the ingredients Gu Xianting was cleaning at the moment.
I didn't know what kind of shellfish this thing was. It was flat and wide in shape, slimy and exuded a pungent smell. It looked disgusting.
Although it looks disgusting, Xiu'er still believes that with the lady's extraordinary cooking skills, it will definitely become a delicious dish.
"Miss, what is this?"
"This is abalone, also called sea ear."
"Abalone? Sea ears? I've never heard of it."
"This thing lives in the deep sea and is difficult to catch. It is a relatively rare food. It is not widely available in the market. Moreover, because of its pungent smell, it is troublesome to handle. Even in the palace, it is only eaten as fairy bait and rarely as a dish. However, But it’s good stuff.”
Gu Xianting laughed while handling the ingredients. His fingers deftly scraped off the grains on the surface of the onion. After cleaning it, he opened the shell's eye, inserted a needle into the shell's eye, and passed the thread through it. A stream of smelly water came out of the breach. It flowed out and the smell was very stinking like corpse gas.
Xiu'er suddenly choked and couldn't stand it anymore. She covered her nose and said, "It stinks, it's smelly and disgusting."
Gu Xianting smiled lightly: "Why does it stink? This is called threading to release the stink. It will stop smelling after a while."
Xiu'er couldn't help but say: "Miss, sometimes Xiu'er can't help but admire you. When something fishy is in front of you, you won't even blink."
"This one is too smelly, that one is too fishy, what else are you cooking? Why don't you pick up your needle and thread and start embroidering honestly, haha..."
"Miss, your needlework isn't bad either."
Gu Xianting said nothing and concentrated on handling the ingredients.
After a while, Xiu'er saw that the sea ear had changed greatly under the lady's treatment. The meat was soft and smooth, purple-red and very shiny, and even the velvet on the surface became very cute.
Just as he was about to boast, a blush suddenly appeared on his face, and he whispered softly: "Miss, what did you say sea ears look like?"
Gu Xianting glanced at it and said calmly: "The creations of heaven and earth are miraculous, and there are countless of them. Don't think too much. Go and see if my uncle is ready to come back. I have to make sure the time is right."
After a while, Xiu'er left and came back. Gu Xianting had already threaded the sea ears into a string and was handling the tiger whip.
This tiger whip is a great tonic, but Gu Xianting uses it to cook, which is considered a luxury. This is a real treasure.
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Xianting raised his head and asked with a smile: "When will my uncle come back?"
Xiu'er smiled bitterly and said, "My uncle is already having dinner with me."
With a bang, the kitchen knife in Gu Xianting's hand fell.
Xiu'er was startled: "Miss, be careful."
After taking a closer look, the young lady's onion finger was fine, but what was broken was a tiger whip. Xiu'er didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably relieved.
Gu Xianting's lips that were still smiling a moment ago slowly pursed, looking a little aggrieved.
This kind of full-hearted preparation for your lover, but in the end it came to nothing, it really feels uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Xiu'er hurriedly comforted her: "Miss, it's okay. I'll make it for my uncle at night."
Gu Xianting sighed: "It won't be new at night."
He said he was in low spirits and no longer planned to cook, so he ordered: "Take this whip to the cook, and let the cook stew it into soup and send it to the master."
Xiu'er asked: "What about this sea ear?"
"Send it to the cook too."
"The cooks in our house are not as capable as Miss, and they can't handle this kind of food."
"Then throw it away."
Xiu'er knew that the young lady was talking angrily, and the young lady was not a wasteful person, so she said, "Oh, no, look at these sea ears, which are fat and tender. The finished dish must be sweet and delicious."
Gu Xianting glanced at Xiu'er: "It was originally prepared for my uncle, so it's an advantage for you."
Xiu'er said coquettishly: "Miss, Xiu'er has worked hard for so many years without any merit. What's wrong with Xiu'er who is so cheap?"
"Okay, let's turn on the stove. Let our master and maid taste this dish. It's his loss if he can't eat it."
"Yes, it's his loss if he can't eat it."
After Xie Fu and Gu Quan had a full meal, they took a walk in the house. It was not appropriate to sit down after a full meal.
The last time Xie Fu came to propose marriage, Gu Quan took Xie Fu to visit. However, Gu's mansion was really big and we couldn't visit the whole place for a while. Today, Gu Quan took Xie Fu to visit some new places.
As he walked to a certain place, he met a figure who was walking in a hurry, as if he was rushing to where he wanted to go. It was Zhao Zilei.
This Zhao Zilei was not a servant of the Gu family, but was regarded as Gu Quan's bodyguard. When the seventeen-year-old Gu Xianting went to Suzhou to celebrate Gu Wanru's birthday, it was Zhao Zilei who escorted him all the way.
Zhao Zilei only listened to Gu Quan's orders in the house and did not need to look at other people's faces. Sometimes he even looked at his wife Gu Lu with a proud and indifferent attitude.
If there are people who secretly respect and obey in their hearts, it is Mr. Ling and Miss Gu Xianting.
Seeing Fu Xie, Zhao Zilei ignored him at first, but Gu Quan was also there, so he had to walk over and say hello: "Master."
But he didn't even say a word of greeting to Mr. Gu's brother-in-law Xie Fu.
Gu Quan was used to Zhao Zilei's reticence and indifference, and there was no blame on his face. He smiled and said: "Zi Lei, let me introduce to you. This is the husband of Xianting. Thank you, Master Xie."
Zhao Zilei looked at Xie Fu. How could he not recognize the person in front of him? He had met him three years ago, but he would never have imagined that the scholar who pretended to be a robber and had no power to restrain chickens really married Xianting and became a member of the Gu family. Uncle.
When he thought of this, his heart felt like a knife. He had always secretly loved the lady in his heart. He also knew that he was not worthy of the beautiful and gentle lady. Every time he met the lady, she had a cold appearance, but her heart was burning. With.
The young lady never wanted to see him, which made Zhao Zilei not even have the courage to express his love.
Although he knew that the young lady would get married sooner or later, Zhao Zilei was not convinced about marrying the man in front of him.
In terms of appearance, he is also handsome and unrestrained. In terms of martial arts, he is a hundred times better than this weak scholar. How come he has been silently guarding him for many years, but the lady finally fell in love with him and fell in love with him wholeheartedly.
On that day, Zhao Zilei knew that Gu Xianting was marrying an unlucky man, but he did not reveal it. In his heart, he would rather the young lady marry the eldest son of the Xie family to thank him, than marry this down-and-out scholar who even looked down upon in those days.
A scholar who reaches out to ask for food from others!
Zhao Zilei had hatred and hostility towards Xie Fu in his heart.
This hostility even gave him the crazy idea of killing this person and taking away his love.
Of course, under the instigation of desire, everyone will have some crazy ideas, but reason often makes people stop their actions.
Zhao Zilei hates Xie Fu and has the idea of killing Xie Fu. This is understandable.
Gu Quan then introduced: "Thank you, Fu, this is..."
Before Gu Quan could finish the introduction, Xie Fu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, we meet again, it's been a long time."
Zhao Zilei also bowed back: "Thank you, Master."
Gu Quan was curious: "You two know each other?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Three years ago, Brother Zhao and I met on the way to escort Xianting to Suzhou."
He laughed at himself: "I also received the gift of meat from Brother Zhao."
Zhao Zilei said coldly: "You're welcome. Zhao treats those beggars equally. If you want to thank the young master, you should also thank the young lady for your compassion and kindness."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhao Zilei's polite words. If the lady hadn't favored you, you would be nothing.
Gu Quan realized later and said, "It turns out that Fu and you, Xianting, have known each other for a long time."
I thought to myself, my daughter must have fallen in love with Xie Fu at first sight three years ago. She is indeed my daughter, with a keen eye for treasures.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "To be honest, I only met Xianting by chance at that time, and we only met again in recent days."
