Chapter 192 The Sweet and Soft Little Cousin
Bai Wei felt helpless as she looked at Xiao Minglou, who was so angry that he wanted to point at her nose and ask her to leave.
Although she had long thought that a man of Xiao Minglou's temper would not easily forgive her, and had also thought of a backup plan, but now that she really saw him like this, she still felt a little sad.
Especially when she thought about how Xiao Minglou had protected her without fear of life and death at the temporary garrison of the Xiao family army, the contrast between the two was huge.
After Xiao Minglou finished speaking, he felt very proud and raised his head proudly, but his eyes could not help but glance at Bai Wei. It would not have mattered if he hadn't glanced at her, but when he did, he saw that Bai Wei had lowered her eyes, as if...really sad.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Minglou felt that he should be happy, but instead of feeling that way, he even felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Thinking back to when I enthusiastically selected a gift for him and she returned it intact, the disappointment I felt in my heart was the same as how she feels now?
I feel that she is wrong to treat me like this, but does that mean... I am right to treat her like this?
Thinking of this, he actually felt a little regretful.
He moved his mouth slightly, wanting to say something to comfort her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. In the end, he could only watch her, indifferent, but his heart couldn't calm down at all, and he was struggling fiercely with his conscience.
At this moment, Xiao Mingcheng reached out and grabbed Bai Wei's sleeve: "Don't worry, sister Wei'er. Except for the courtyard of Minglou, other places in the Zhennan Palace welcome you. I will take you to visit other courtyards of the Zhennan Palace. Grandfather heard that you were coming today, and he specially instructed the kitchen to make more sweet and sour dishes. We will have lunch together."
Although Bai Wei rejected the Zhennan Palace's approach and chose to deliberately keep a distance from it, her grandfather always had her in his heart.
He secretly cared about everything about her, what she liked to eat, how she was doing during battles, and whether the person he cared about was good or bad.
When Wei'er fell off the cliff, the first person to find her was also her grandfather's.
When he learned that Wei'er was seriously injured in order to save Ouyang Qi, his grandfather was extremely anxious and wanted to rush back to the capital. However, returning to the capital without permission was a serious crime. Just when he explained the situation to the current emperor and applied to return to the capital, the emperor's letter of intention to grant marriage also arrived, and
As he was talking, he took Bai Wei away, leaving Xiao Minglou standing there alone.
Xiao Minglou: “…”
Good, very good, even if he said something wrong, she didn't seem to need his comfort at all. Yes, she didn't need it at all, huh!
Xiao Minglou knew that Bai Wei would have dinner at the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. In order to avoid meeting her, he left the mansion alone and went to the south of the city.
His memory of the capital city stopped before he was ten years old. Unlike Mingcheng and Mingyu, Mingcheng was two years older than him, so when his father went to the war, he took him to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. Mingyu was born directly on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. This was his first time returning to the capital city.
And he grew up in the capital before he was ten years old.
Looking at the street in front of him which had already changed its appearance, he was a little confused.
As I recall, there were many good dim sum shops and snack shops here, but now they have all become restaurants and some places selling girls' jewelry.
He walked for a while and finally found a stall selling plain noodles.
The wooden sign read, "A bowl of plain noodles costs three cents."
It is fair and affordable.
On the border, during the war, people were short of food and had to eat wild grass to fill their stomachs. Naturally, he was not picky about food.
I was already hungry and too lazy to look for anything else, so I just sat down and said, "Boss, give me two bowls of plain noodles!"
The boss smiled happily as he looked at the tall, handsome, and well-dressed Xiao Minglou and said, "Okay, sir, please take a rest. The noodles will be ready soon!"
The noodles were ready in a short while: "Sir, your noodles cost six cents, and I also gave you an egg!"
Xiao Minglou looked at the noodles in front of him: "Thank you."
The boss smiled and put the noodles on the table: "Thank you, sir. Thank you. If you have time, please come and take care of my business in the future!"
Xiao Minglou still couldn't help but asked, "Boss, do you know that those snack shops that used to be here are still doing business?"
The noodle shop owner was slightly stunned: "There has never been a dim sum shop on this street!"
After saying that, he quickly reacted: "Sir, I only came to this street to do business two years ago. If it happened a long time ago, I don't know. If you want to find out, you can ask someone who has lived here. I remember that the rice shop in front seems to have been open the longest. You can go there and ask."
Xiao Minglou waved his hands quickly: "Forget it, forget it, I just asked casually, boss, don't mind it."
The noodle shop owner could see the regret in Xiao Minglou's eyes and seemed to want to say something, but someone in front of him was calling for some Yangchun noodles, so he went back to work.
Xiao Minglou was in a very good mood as he looked at the two steaming bowls of Yangchun noodles in front of him.
These two bowls of plain noodles are more comfortable and satisfying than the ones we had at the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.
After all, if he goes back, his grandfather will certainly force him to be nice to Bai Wei, as will his elder brother and third brother... There are already so many gentlemen in this world who repay grievances with virtue and do not care about trivial matters. It would not be a bad idea for him to be a villain who will take revenge and hold a grudge.
Thinking of this, he picked up the chopsticks on the table and was about to knock the table hard with the tip of the chopsticks.
Just with this knock, the chopsticks in my hand seemed to suddenly become heavy.
When she looked up again, she seemed to see a smile that had already gradually blurred. She pinched the end of his chopsticks and carefully helped him align them: "Minglou, don't knock the table with your chopsticks like that. You are the only young master of Zhennan Palace left in the capital. Your every word and action is the face of Zhennan Palace. Come, do this with your aunt..."
Xiao Minglou was in a trance and aligned his chopsticks, and the figure opposite him disappeared.
"Aunt Xiao Ning..."
When I was very young, my father and grandfather were fighting at the border, and I would occasionally go to Bai's house to look for my aunt. As far as I can remember, my aunt was already pregnant and had severe morning sickness, but every time she saw me, she would smile very sweetly and beautifully.
His aunt treated him very well and gave him all kinds of delicious food every time he visited her, so he liked his aunt very much and looked forward to the safe birth of the little life in her belly together with her.
At that time, there was a very delicious dim sum shop in the south of the city.
Occasionally, his aunt would send a maid or a boy to take him to buy snacks.
He may not have known this when he was young, but he knew it when he grew up. The snacks in the snack shop were very sweet and greasy. Actually, his aunt didn't like them, but she asked the maids to take him to buy them because she saw that he liked them.
At that time, he ate the snacks that he thought were the most delicious in the world every day, touched his aunt's round belly, and looked forward to the arrival of the little life that his aunt had been waiting for for so long.
Not long after, the little life really arrived.
Fragrant, soft and very cute.
The first thing he did when he got up every day was to go to Bai Mansion to see his sweet and soft little cousin. He liked her even more until the little girl could giggle.
He still remembers that day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The Zhennan Palace hired a teacher to teach him. In the morning, because his handwriting was not good, he was punished to copy and was locked up in the palace. Later, he took advantage of the guards' shift change to climb out of the window and over the wall.
When he went to the Bai Mansion to look for his aunt and little cousin, the guards in the mansion said that his aunt and little cousin had gone out and they didn't know where they were. He hurried out again and walked to the corner of the Bai Mansion, but saw his uncle talking to a woman. He didn't know what they were talking about, but he heard that his uncle seemed to be comforting the woman and was wondering what the woman promised.
In the end, the two of them hugged each other, and he saw clearly that the woman was not his aunt.
