"What are you going to do? Sit down. Why do the whole family share a table?"
Seeing the little maid trying to run away in embarrassment, Zuo Ning said with a smile. Although his words sounded quite dissatisfied, there was no trace of negative emotion in his tone.
This made the little maid feel embarrassed. It was never said that a maid could come to the table and eat with the master, but this was the master's order. She didn't know what to do for a while, so she looked at him for advice. Her Royal Highness the Princess who spent time with him in the palace.
Naturally, Shen Luan didn't say anything about rules or etiquette. In her eyes, Yaotao was actually almost the same as her own sister.
So she smiled at the little maid and said softly:
"Don't split tables anymore. This is not a palace anymore. Just listen to Aning."
After receiving approval from both masters at the same time, Xiao Yaotao sat aside in a polite manner, her eyes turning red, and she was so moved that she burst into tears.
"Thank you Mr. Zuo and Your Highness the Princess."
Lu Shuihan, who didn't want anyone else to feed him chicken soup, struggled out of Zuo Ning's arms and sat on the side. The catkin quietly went around Zuo Ning's waist and gave it a gentle squeeze in retaliation for the "insult" just now. hatred.
Because he was not strong enough, Zuo Ning did not react and allowed his wife to vent her emotions.
After Shen Luan on the right learned about Zuo Ning's eating habits and his special liking for all kinds of animal legs, he silently tore off half of the chicken legs in his bowl with chopsticks, and silently picked up Zuo Ning's legs. Inside the bowl, he held his own porcelain bowl and slowly drank the chicken soup without looking at Zuo Ning.
Looking at the half piece of chicken leg meat in the bowl, Zuo Ning was so moved that he really wanted to hug Niaoniao and give him a fierce kiss.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the courtyard door. After he raised his head and took a few breaths, a familiar and hearty voice came from outside the mansion, followed by a knock on the door, startling everyone in the waterside pavilion.
"Boy, are you up yet?"
Are you up yet? My buddy, I got up early, and even went to the school grounds and came back. I'm not the ungrateful prince you had yesterday who claimed he couldn't drink a thousand cups and then drank until he was unconscious!
"Uncle Wang's voice?"
After hearing that familiar voice, Shen Luan, who was still holding a porcelain bowl and blowing away the heat from the chicken soup, raised his head and looked at the entrance of the verandah and asked.
Although Zuo Ning was a little surprised by King Zhennan's visit and was speechless at Shen Yunzhou's slanderous remarks, he immediately replied to the door:
"I've gotten up early! Prince, please come in directly."
As his voice fell, there was a sound of pushing and closing the door. A few breaths later, Shen Yunzhou walked in with a clear and crisp sound as the jade beads he wore around his waist collided. Then he turned a corner and walked into the verandah. He saw Zuo Ning surrounded by three stunning women with their own characteristics. Here, drinking chicken soup...
…
You boy!
The person on the right is Shen Luan, his niece who just got married, the other is the niece's personal maid, the little maid who came to marry him, and the woman in a white dress with long hair as white as snow on Zuo Ning's left is...?
Gray hair? This rare feature made Shen Yunzhou frown, as if...
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
Then he suddenly came to his senses. When he traveled to Yunzhou in his early years and visited the Spear Saint, he saw that the granddaughter of the old Spear Saint had a head full of white hair!
"Who is this……?"
Although Lu Shuihan remembered the incident at the time, she could only say that she had no deep impression on Shen Yunzhou. She looked at Shen Yunzhou, then stood up and saluted: "Hello, Lord Shen, my name is Lu Shuihan."
Her surname is Lu, that's right. She is indeed the little girl back then. Now she is so big. She is so slim and graceful, with the appearance of a fish out of place. But why did she take advantage of Zuo Ning! ?
Seeing Shen Yunzhou who was inexplicably unhappy with him, Zuo Ning pretended not to see him and asked:
"What's the matter, Your Majesty? Why don't you sit down and have a sip of chicken soup first? Yaotao just brought it out."
After finishing speaking, Zuo Ning pointed to the porcelain pot on one side and said,
"Yao Tao, go get a bowl for the prince."
"good!"
"No, I have something to do with you today."
Shen Yunzhou waved his hand and said, then he moved his nose, and out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help but look at the chicken soup and the chicken that was cut into eight pieces on one side...
…
Gudong~
"This chicken soup is quite fresh. It's really good. I will come to your place for dinner next time. Lao Zhang's Jianghu Inn dared to charge me 30% more than the normal price. It's really born!"
After finishing the bowl of chicken soup in his hand, Shen Yunzhou complained, and then looked at the two women beside Zuo Ning. One was his niece, the other had assisted the Yunzhou Army in guarding the border for decades, and his son The granddaughter of the Spear Saint, who had all died, judged that the problem was not big, and signaled Yaotao to go aside for a while, then looked at Zuo Ning, and started talking about business.
"Someone has reported that the Huangquan sect has colluded with the local wealthy families in Bingzhou and has the intention of treason. Now the young master of the Huangquan sect, Master Biluo Zhu Yan, is at the Yanliu Villa on the south side of the city. How about some of our masters in the capital? It’s just that it’s not easy to come forward, or it’s not as trustworthy as you. Get up now and inquire about the situation, and then decide whether to capture Zhu Yan first based on your judgment.”
Not long ago, he ate Bingzhou's big melon in the court hall, but now Shen Yunzhou came over to tell him that there was another hidden reason in this matter?
Zhu Yan? A weak little grandmaster was caught casually, only his father Zhu Tianhe was difficult to deal with.
"Okay, I'll take Shui Han over now to take a look."
Just as Shen Yunzhou thought, Zuo Ning did not refuse the assignment. Then when he saw Shen Yunzhou's somewhat suspicious look in Lu Shuihan's eyes, he smiled slightly:
"Shui Han is a first-class master, don't worry."
He didn't tell Lu Shuihan's true strength, partly to cover up his strength for her. Secondly, I was worried that Shen Yunzhou would break the defense on the spot.
"That's fine. By the way, your house doesn't even have a servant, so it's too shabby."
Servant? Yes.
For a moment, Zuo Ning thought of the old pawn who gave him a bronze medal when he entered the city and allowed him to meet Shen Yunzhou in the Jianhu Inn, thus avoiding the blackout in the capital. .
It seems to be called Lao Li, right?
Anyway, he was just an old pawn, and he happened to be the right-wing army guarding the outer city, Shen Yunzhou's direct-administered imperial army.
"Then, Your Majesty, please help me find some people. By the way, an old soldier guarding the east gate a few days ago has been kind to me. I might as well transfer him to me. That's the one called Lao Li. He once got it." The old pawn with a bronze medal from the Jianhu Inn."
"Just leave the little things to me. You and Miss Lu can just go and do the work."
"become."
