Chapter 146 A woman with a big heart

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan slowly stood up.

"Let Yourong come over here."

In the side room, Zheng Liwan, who had just laid down, was thinking about how to tell her family about this situation. In the past two days, her cousin Zheng Youlai seemed to be hesitant to speak. He was a little dissatisfied with Zheng Liwan's recent disappearance, but he couldn't say anything.

Think about it, basically no one would care about a woman being used as a chess piece, but the problem is that others don't know how high this chess piece can climb. ✯

What if there is really a connection with the royal family?

It is also a method of self-defense to stop talking but stop at etiquette.

"Liu Xuan is already the Marquis of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty, and his status is not low. Moreover, I heard from Old Li who often comes here that Liu Xuan is the young man that the emperor likes more today."

"It's a pity. Why didn't the Holy Master come to the Marquis Mansion? Liu Xuan's craftsmanship is beyond comparison with that of an emperor. Even if a god tastes it, he won't want to leave."

Zheng Liwan was thinking, if the Holy One often appears today, then the people who follow the Holy One must also appear often, right?

Before coming to Chang'an, she remembered the appearance, temperament, and habits of those young nobles very clearly, but after being in Chang'an for a long time, she seemed to only be able to identify Changsun Chong...

Her mind was in a mess, and Zheng Liwan was also a little irritable in her heart. The night was long and it was another night that made it impossible to sleep peacefully.

I don't know if it's tinnitus or something else. It's obviously quiet outside, but at this moment it's like noisy insects keep chirping, and I feel itchy in my heart.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Sister Yourong, Master Hou is looking for you..."

When the voice came, Zheng Liwan opened her eyes suddenly, a hint of ecstasy appeared in her eyes, and then disappeared from her eyes.

"Okay, I understand, you go and rest."

Wearing a long gauze and a warm robe, in the candlelight and in the mirror, the woman with a delicate face and a slender neck as flawless as jade is none other than herself.

After shaking the clothes on her chest casually twice, Zheng Liwan nodded with satisfaction, opened the door slowly, and walked out.

Liu Xuan's door is open and he is drinking water in small sips. Drinking water in small sips at night will moisten your throat. Even if there is a heater in the room, it will not dry out.

This is a habit that Liu Xuan has always maintained. He put down the water glass, looked up inadvertently, and saw a pair of real tricks...

A powerful woman.

"Ahem, Yourong, don't you make any sound when you walk?"

The corners of Zheng Liwan's mouth raised, her eyes moved, and she didn't care at all what Liu Xuan said. Her heartbeat was obviously speeding up, but there was no hint of embarrassment in her appearance.

Perhaps she was born to be a woman with a big heart.

"Master Hou, are you looking for me late at night for something important?"

Liu Xuan nodded, took a closer look at Zheng Liwan with his hands behind his back, and smiled: "Don't tell me, I really have something for you to do."

"Master Hou, what is going on? I have to let the little girl stay late at night..."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that this matter is a bit difficult to handle. The fire must be stronger, the water must be more, and the heat must be just right..."

"Master Hou..." Zheng Liwan looked at Liu Xuan seriously, "This little girl is a serious person."

Liu Xuan was suddenly startled. The word "serious person" is worth pondering. Did I say something inappropriate?

These ladies from the Tang Dynasty... always think wrongly...

"It doesn't matter, this is a serious matter. You may not have a good rest tonight, and it's normal for your back to be sore and disgraced."

Zheng Liwan was horrified. After hearing this, she could still understand the pain in her waist and back. She heard from her elders that before leaving, her mother-in-law taught her in private, but what does it mean to be disgraced?

"Master Hou..." Zheng Liwan blushed, "This is too fast."

Liu Xuan looked at Zheng Liwan suspiciously: "No, no, no, I'll fall asleep soon. You have to learn to fiddle with it on your own."

"Let's go to the backyard..."

Zheng Liwan: "Ah? You still want to go to the backyard?"

A moment later, in the backyard, Zheng Liwan looked at the huge pot, the rice in the pot, and the water in the large iron pot, with a look of resentment on her face.

Liu Xuan, didn’t you mean this just now?

I, Zheng Liwan, am also a daughter of a famous family. The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Is this why you called me into your room late at night?

"Remember, when steaming rice, the most important thing is the heat. There needs to be more water, and the fire needs to be strong, so that they complement each other, and the music and the harp sound harmoniously."

"Yourong, you are a smart woman. Pull the steamed rice apart and put it in a basin in a cool place for use tomorrow."

When Zheng Liwan heard this, her whole body went numb.

This is what you call water and fire.

Is this what you say about not sleeping well tonight?

Is this what you call a sore back and a disgraced face?

Liu Xuan, you big pig’s trotters!

In an instant, Zheng Liwan's face turned extremely cold.

Liu Xuan nodded: "Yes, that's how it feels. Steamed rice must not be filled with any emotions, be selfless..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xuan quickly went back to rest.

In the backyard, Zheng Liwan was messy in the wind. The wind blew by, and she only regretted that she didn't wear more clothes just now. She should find a coat and put it on later.

When the fire light came on, Zheng Liwan felt the warmth and took a long breath. Her face was stained by the flying dust. After touching it with her hand, it turned into a touch of gray. Under the moonlight, her face looked extremely cool. .

"Why does Liu Xuan steam rice so late at night?"

"The overnight rice is neither hot nor fragrant, how can it be delicious?"

"Isn't that what he likes?"

Zheng Liwan racked her brains and couldn't figure out what the problem was. In the backyard, the smell of rice wafted up.

Not long after, in the stillness of the night, Xinghuafang, which should have fallen into a deep sleep, especially the neighbors of Lantianhou Mansion, soon...

Then the cursing started.

"Who is it? You can't sleep well at night. The whole thing smells so good."

"It's just that my son is only over one year old and he has to eat at night. Isn't this a hassle?"

"Which neighbor is nice? Let my wife sleep. I can't bear it anymore."

…

In the early morning, it was just dawn.

Outside Chang'an Liquanfang, people began to queue up shivering.

There was no one else on the empty streets, but outside the Datang Hotel, there were so many people, it seemed that as long as they were a little more crowded, they would feel less cold.

"Hiss... use more force in the back. Did you not eat or something?"

"What are you talking about in front of me? I just haven't eaten. Who would come here after eating?"

"Don't make any noise in the back, I'm freezing to death in the front."

The weather turned cold suddenly, which caught people off guard.

At this moment, not far away, a sinister look appeared, squinting its eyes.

Master Sun... no, Master Changsun rushed over early in the morning and vowed to have a hot bite.
