Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

Xie Xun let go of Jiang Shuyao, and held her face worriedly. Seeing her crying hard, he panicked.

His eyes met Jiang Shuyao, and she slowly calmed down in his soothing eyes.

Xie Xun wiped away tears for her, with extremely light strength, but Jiang Shuyao could still feel his trembling.

The two looked at each other, the air clearly smelled of blood, but there was a strange sense of peace of mind.

Jiang Shuyao stopped crying. It stands to reason that Xie Xun should take his hand away from her face, but he still held her face as if he had forgotten this.

His palms were warm and dry, making Jiang Shu's cheeks slightly hot. The two were still embracing each other, and Jiang Shuyao realized this and awkwardly retracted his hands around his waist.

Xie Xie hadn't reacted yet, Xie Pei had rushed in from the door and shouted: "Sansao! Sansao—"

She was suddenly dumb, and an anxious expression froze on her face.

From this perspective, Jiang Shuyao is cuddling Xie Xun weakly, and Xie Xun is holding her face as if she interrupted something about to happen.

The guard came later than Xie Pei, and followed Xie Pei in, seeing the scene in front of him also froze in place.

Xie Pei turned around and saw a group of guys with wide-eyed eyes, with a weird appearance, and said viciously: "Look at anything! Close your eyes!"

Then he turned his head and said weakly to the two cuddling: "Let's go out first..."

She was stopped by Xie Xun as soon as she raised her foot.

"Wait, come in with a piece of clothing."

Xie Pei was taken aback, looked at Jiang Shuyao, and was relieved when she saw that her sleeve was torn apart.

The carriage from Xie Guogong's mansion rushed over a while later. After Xie Pei returned from the car to retrieve the clothes, the two had separated long ago, but Xie Xie was afraid that Jiang Shuyao would see the corpse, so he kept blocking her in front of her.

Xie Pei walked over and handed the robe to Xie Xie. Xie Xie wrapped Jiang Shuyao and helped her out.

Jiang Shuyao was not injured, but was frightened, but Xie Xun still protected her with his hands, for fear that she would fall.

He carefully guarded Jiang Shuyao into the carriage, and was suddenly stopped by Xie Pei when he was about to climb up.

Xie Xun turned her head and motioned to her to speak.

Xie Pei stopped talking, dragged him aside and whispered: "Brother San, my life was saved by Sansao."

Xie Xun nodded when he heard the words, and couldn't bear to think about how scared Jiang Shuyao was at the time. He suppressed the astringency in his heart and said: "I understand that she is kind to Xie Guogong."

Seeing him frowned, Xie Pei was uneasy, and pulled his sleeves: "Brother, don't you mind if Sansao is okay? I know you think that women like us are all bad reputations, but why? We are innocent, and it is the bandits who deserve to suffer. Sansao wouldn't have come to the last step if it wasn't for me. Even if they were in the same room and had their arms seen, they would be innocent. "

Xie Xun didn't respond, still the expression just now.

Xie Pei became even more anxious, and blurted out: "If you lose the third wife, then I, I..." If he didn't expect to threaten, he could only say, "I will definitely ask you to settle the account!"

She stared at Xie Xun furiously.

After a second, Xie Xun finally changed his expression.

He slowly raised his eyebrows, and then his eyes widened slightly, and finally his usual cold face slowly turned into consternation.

"What are you talking about?" he said.

It is clear that Xie Pei was still anxious just now, but at this moment, he felt emotionally untimely: The third brother looked like this when he was not cold, so is it because he is too lazy to make an expression...

Xie Pei didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while: "Do you mind?"

"What do I mind?"

"Sansao, she, she was taken away, and she was in the same room with the gangster—"

Xie Xie later realized what she meant, and interrupted Xie Pei's words: "Why would I mind?" After speaking, she put on that cold face and gritted her teeth, "This matter is due to my negligence. Recently, the unrest in the suburbs of Beijing has even asked you to come out for incense."

He suppressed his anger, calmed down a bit, and said: "So you can't let other people know about this, I'll take care of it." After that, Xie Pei looked at him blankly, remembering that Xie Pei threatened him just for Jiang Shuyao. Softly explained to her, "I did not think that she was stigmatizing her reputation, but that she didn't want her to be chewed. You don't have to worry."

Xie Pei had never seen his third brother talk so much before, and nodded stupidly.

Xie Xun turned around and strode towards the carriage.

Xie Pei watched him walk away, his eyes fell on the official uniform that he had not had time to change, and he habitually raised the bar for a long while and said, "You better be, otherwise...huh."

＊

Jiang Shu was nestling on the carriage, and Xie Xun came up and brought a cool breeze.

He waved his hand to let the maid serving Jiang Shuyao go down, hesitated for a moment, and still sat quietly beside her.

Jiang Shuyao was closing his eyes and rested, feeling the noise, and opened his eyes to look at him.

Xie Xun asked, "What's wrong, where is it uncomfortable?"

Jiang Shuyao shook his head.

He reached for the kettle: "Drink some hot tea?"

Jiang Shuyao still shook his head.

Xie Xun's heart became more uncomfortable when she saw her look so weak, and his mouth was tight.

Jiang Shuyao felt the displeasure emanating from him, and felt a little uncomfortable when thinking of Xie Pei's concerns.

She persuaded herself not to care about Xie Xun's opinion, but the more she persuaded her, the more she became bored, and finally she shrank into the corner, away from Xie Xun.

Seeing this, Xie Xun's tone was gentle, for fear of shocking her: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Jiang Shuya ignored him.

Xie Xun dared not approach her, and sat silently aside.

After all, he was a young man. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't hold back any words. After a while, he suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

A thoughtless apology made Jiang Shuyao look up at him.

"I said I would protect you, but it still caused you to suffer such a thing." He lowered his head and dared not look at Jiang Shuyao.

Jiang Shuyao looked at the top of his dark hair, and it took a few seconds before he understood what he meant.

I remember that she was also in the carriage at the time. She was so sad and depressed because of Lin's affairs. After pouring the bitterness, Xie Xun said something like this-"I will protect you."

She was very upset at the time and didn't take it to heart. After so long, she had forgotten Xie Xun's words.

So for Xie Xun, this is not a casual comfort, but a promise?

Suddenly she felt sore on the tip of her heart, numb and itchy, as if a green sprout emerged from the ground.

Suppressing that strange feeling, Jiang Shuya warned herself not to think too much about what happened to the Zhou family and the Lin family is not miserable enough? You can't say that the girl is delayed, and you must keep your heart.

After Xie Xun said those words, he didn't speak any more. The two went back to Xie Guogong's mansion in silence. After Jiang Shuyao took a shower and changed clothes, he went back to the room and fell asleep deeply.

It was evening when she woke up, and because she was still resting, the maids did not light up the lights.

She called, Bai Zhi came in from outside, tied the bed net, tucked a cushion behind her, and waited for her to sit up.

Bai Zhi has always been loyal. If she knew something happened to her, she would be worried and anxious, but Jiang Shuyao did not see any worry on her face.

Seeing her staring at her face, Bai Zhi couldn't help but rub her hands with her hands: "Miss, is there anything on the slave's face?"

Jiang Shuyao shook his head and asked hesitantly, "You know..." After half talking, he held back.

Bai Zhi didn't notice that there was something wrong with her. The smile on her face had not disappeared since she came in. Her eyes were bent into crescents, and she asked cheerfully: "Is the young lady hungry?"

Jiang Shuyao was indeed a little hungry, nodded and said, "I want to drink porridge."

After hearing this, the smile on Bai Zhi's face even worsened: "Okay, good porridge." After speaking, he bowed and left the room.

Jiang Shuyao was aching all over, and because of the shock today, he lost his strength, so he simply leaned on the cushion and didn't want to get up.

After a while, footsteps came from outside.

Bai Zhi came back so soon, it seems that the kitchen has been warming the porridge.

She looked up, but only saw Xie Xun coming in with the porridge.

Jiang Shu was stunned.

Xie Xun put the dinner plate on the low table beside the bed, and saw that Jiang Shuyao's expression recovered, he was finally relieved.

"Why are you, Bai Zhi?" Jiang Shuyao asked in surprise.

Xie Xun hesitated and changed the subject: "Shall we let the maid come in and feed you porridge?"

"No, I didn't hurt my hand." She suddenly patted her forehead, and said in a shock: "Second sister-in-law, how is she, is she injured?"

"Second sister-in-law was injured by a knife, but the doctor said it was OK." Seeing Jiang Shuyao worried, he replied carefully, "It said he injured his leg, but the cut was not deep."

Jiang Shuyao was worried: "I'll go see her now."

Xie Xun pressed her shoulders: "Second sister-in-law is resting. What are you going to do? Wait until tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyao stopped thinking.

Xie Xun picked up the dinner plate and held it in front of her: "Use rice."

His action made Jiang Shuya laugh and cry: "I said that I was not injured. As for you—"

Halfway through the conversation, the rest was stuck in his throat.

Her gaze fell on the dinner plate, and she saw a bowl of white rice porridge and a bowl of steamed eggs on it, steaming with a warm aroma.

Seeing her stunned, Xie Xun asked nervously, "Isn't it right?" He was there when he went to visit Zhou Clan. Xu Clan asked about Jiang Shuyao's situation, Xie Xun said a few more words to her, and then Xu She mentioned that Jiang Shuyao once said that when she was sick, she would want to eat rice porridge and steamed eggs made by her mother.

Xu said that Jiang Shuyao can only feel at ease if he eats his mother's own hands. Xie Xun can never go to the Bo's House in Xiangyang and ask Lin to bring them over, so he just went to the kitchen and made two bowls.

When Jiang Shuyao looked at Xie Xun, he could clearly feel the anxiety on his face with paralysis.

She picked up the porridge bowl and took a spoonful of her mouth.

The white rice porridge is boiled so softly, it is boiled slowly on low heat, until the rice is boiled quickly. There is a bit of crushed vegetable leaves inside. The seasoning is only salt and a few drops of sesame oil, but it has a light and warm taste.

Xie Xun couldn't help asking: "How is it?"

He was so nervous, Jiang Shuya looked at him weirdly and said, "It's okay."

Xie Xun was relieved, and the three-pot porridge was finally made successfully.

Jiang Shuyao took a few more bites. The porridge was really soft and melted without chewing. It was soft and thick, with the original flavor of rice and a little bit of sesame oil.

It seems that people who cook porridge are very caring, and this kind of porridge has to stand by the stove and stir it so that it won't be mashed.

Xie Xun had been sitting by the bed looking at her. After seeing her holding a bowl and drinking a small bowl of porridge, he said, "Have some steamed eggs, don't let the cold."

Jiang Shuyao looked up, he had already broken the plate again.

She had to put the porridge bowl on the wooden plate and lifted the steamed egg bowl.

Although the steamed egg is simple, it looks very good.

The color is light yellow, the surface is smooth and flat, sprinkled with emerald green onion, a small amount of soy sauce mixed with the water on the surface turns into a clear light brown.

The spoon shattered with a light touch of the steamed egg, trembling, extremely tender and smooth.

The steamed egg inside was a little hot, Jiang Shuya put it to his mouth and blew it lightly before daring to take it.

The tender steamed egg melts in the mouth, and the pure egg aroma has a subtle reassuring taste, with a light soy sauce aroma, salty and tender.

You don't need to chew carefully, just swallow it when the steamed egg is half broken, so that the warmth can slide down the throat all the way to the stomach.

Obviously it was just a simple steamed egg, but Jiang Shuyao took it very seriously, as if he had returned to the time when his sick mother was taking care of himself when he was a child.

After eating the steamed eggs, she handed the empty bowl to Xie Xun, and asked, "Did the sister-in-law said it?"

Xie Xun nodded and took the bowl.

She looked at Xie Xun Qingjun's profile. Although she had already guessed the answer, she still asked, "Did you do it?"

Xie Xun’s bowling movement was a little frustrating: "You tasted it." She is so quick and simple to cook on weekdays. She really got to use it on her own. A bowl of porridge also stumped him. It seems that there is still a difference with the cook. .

Seeing him unhappy, Jiang Shuya held back a smile. Where did you taste it, do you really think she can't see his nervousness?

Xie Xun thought that he had completely failed in his first attempt to cook. He even let Jiang Shuya finish a whole bowl of steamed eggs that tasted badly. His face was a little embarrassed: "I will let the maid come in and wait for you to rinse your mouth." Then he held it. The dinner plate left depressed.

After he left, Jiang Shuyao couldn't help but laugh. Thinking of him cooking by himself, the corners of his eyebrows curled up with warmth: "Well, it seems that these days are not in vain."
