Spring Forest Evening

When Shen Fu entered the mansion, he wished he could go to the inner courtyard in three steps at a time, but in a blink of an eye, he remembered what Shen Yi said, and was a little worried that Zhou Heng could not do well, so he sent Mu Yun to find Nanny Shen again, and let her Go to see how it is doing first, while I am absent-mindedly waiting for news in the study outside.

On Zhou Heng's side, Nanny Shen just got the news from Chenfeng, and she went into the small kitchen in the inner courtyard to inform Lord Zhou Heng that Prince Zhou Heng had returned to his residence. Seeing that she couldn't help much in the kitchen, she simply came out.

As a result, not long after she came out, Mu Yun found her again, saying that the prince asked her to see how the food was doing.

Aunt Shen was a little dumbfounded, and whispered gossip to Mu Yun:

"Miss Biao is not the first time to make noodles by hand. Chuntao mentioned to me before that Miss Biao has practiced privately several times, and even she ate it up several times. I just saw that Miss Biao is also quite good. It's quick, the lord has come and waited for a while."

Although it is very rare for Miss Qianjin to cook in person, the prince's careful appearance is really... a little too much, Shen Momo feels a little disapproving.

Fortunately, Mu Yun is not Chen Feng. After listening to Shen Nanny's gossip, she also understood something, pondered for a while, and mentioned:

"Just now at the gate of the mansion, the prince happened to meet the princess, it should be the princess's order!"

Naturally, Nanny Shen couldn't say anything more, and now it was Mu Yun who was talking and not the stupid Chen Feng just now, so she put away her thoughts and responded:

"Then I'll go and have a look, you wait here first."

After going there, Nanny Shen found that Mu Yun was the one who was reliable.

Unexpectedly, the Princess actually taught Miss Biao the recipe of braised pork from her maternal ancestral family. Although she heard what Miss Biao said and knew that the prince had returned to the mansion, she temporarily changed the method to speed up the process, but it still took some time. , so I'm a little flustered right now.

Shen Momo has not been the manager of the inner court for nothing these years. Seeing that the master and servant are busy in the small kitchen, she said with a smile:

"Miss Biao, don't panic, it was Mu Yun who was sent by the prince just now, and asked the servant to tell you that the prince still has some things to do in the study outside at the moment, and it will take a while, let you take your time, and let me wait until you are done." Chuntao just tell the servant girl."

This made Zhou Heng feel confident, let me tell you earlier, Shen Yi has not been gone for long, the braised pork is meat after all, even if it is not stewed slowly, it will take some time, so he smiled and kept his hands and feet while following Aunt Shen said:

"That would be the best. I really need it here...well, maybe half an hour later. The braised pork needs some heat."

Even the professional-sounding words like "huohou" were uttered, and Mother Shen didn't want to cause trouble for Zhou Heng in such a small kitchen, so she nodded in relief, saluted and came out:

"Then servant girl, go and tell Mu Yun."

Mu Yun, who got the news from Nanny Shen, hurried back to the outer courtyard to report, and then Shen Fu began to wait restlessly, and then, seeing that the time was almost up, he went to the inner courtyard again in three steps at a time.

After entering the main courtyard and before going to the room, he smelled a tangy aroma from afar, Shen Fu was really hungry at the moment, he could say he was twitching his index finger.

Following the scent, I walked quickly to the small kitchen, just in time to see Zhou Heng going down into the pot, heard his footsteps, and turned around to greet him with a smile:

"Come back, you go wash your hands first, it will be fine soon!"

The water in the pot boiled, and there was a popping sound, and the water vapor enveloped Zhou Heng, accompanied by the aroma of cooked fried eggs and chopped green onions, a breath of fresh fireworks in the world.

But in the eyes of Shen Fu, a young prince from a wealthy background, his sweetheart is like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, more beautiful than Chang'e in Guanghan Palace.

Even at that moment, I felt that I could no longer love her in my heart!

Back then in the Northwest, I also saw with my own eyes the wives of ordinary soldiers’ families waiting at the door with a bowl of rice and grinning to welcome their exhausted husbands after a day of training. At that time, I still felt vulgar and disapproving. Sure enough, she is not as reserved as she was when she was a girl, and she just waited for her husband to come home with a bowl of rice at the door in such a big way. Is this because she is afraid that others will not know that she is a virtuous housekeeper?

Now I feel the same way, I think the husband who came home must be very happy to see his wife waiting at the door so attentively, right?

It turns out that couples in the world are like this, Shen Fu felt a sense of enlightenment, and also a kind of joy that stuck in his throat, so much so that his eye sockets were a little wet.

Fortunately, Zhou Heng was busy in the kitchen at the moment, seeing him leaning against the door, although the handsome prince in the golden dragon suit with a black background was very eye-catching, he still smiled and told him to leave quickly:

"I said Prince Jing, why don't you wash your hands? You've been in this kitchen for a long time, so don't let your court clothes get smelled of oily smoke. Let's go, I'll be fine soon!"

Shen Fu laughed when he heard this, and said: "Okay, listen to you!"

Seeing that Shen Fu turned around and left, Chuntao, who was burning underneath, wiped her sweaty face, smiled and poked her head out to say to Zhou Heng:

"My lord must be hungry. Miss Cousin, the noodles you made are so delicious. My lord will definitely eat them all later!"

"Well, Chuntao, you also contributed a lot, thank you for reminding me to do more!" Zhou Heng lifted the pot that had boiled again to stir the noodles in the water, and took the opportunity to praise the little girl.

"Of course, I have eaten the noodles made by Miss Cousin several times. They are so delicious!" Chuntao couldn't help but smacked her lips when she thought about it.

"Are you hungry?" Seeing her like this, Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing: "You can go to the big kitchen to eat by yourself later, and you don't have to wait on the side, oh yes!"

Covered by the water vapor in the pot, he lowered his head and pretended to inadvertently order the little girl:

"After dark, the lord will take me outside to stroll in the garden and talk about something, you don't need to worry about us, go to bed early."

Anyway, it was not the first time, Chuntao readily agreed, thinking that Miss Biao must find a chance to give Wang Ye a birthday gift, and Wang Ye wanted to express his gratitude to Miss Biao.

On such an important occasion, I can't get in their way.

Afterwards, the noodles were out of the pot, and the braised pork was ready. Shen Fu, who had been waiting in the hall with his hands behind his back, walked forward to greet him when he heard the noise. He happened to see Zhou Heng and Chun Tao coming in with a food box together.

Shen Fu stepped forward to take the food box and put it on the table, while knowingly asked: "What delicious food did you make, and you can smell it from afar."

"The answer will be revealed soon!" Zhou Heng explained to him while opening the food box: "I made a bowl of birthday noodles for you. The taste must be similar, but it's a little different. You can eat it, haha."

"Nothing else?" Shen Fu knew about the braised pork from Shen Yi a long time ago, seeing that she didn't mention it now, he couldn't help being a little uncertain.

"No, I'm sorry, just a bowl of birthday noodles, I hope you don't dislike it." Zhou Heng smiled innocently.

Shen Fu glanced at the bowl of noodles that Zhou Heng brought to him, and then at the bowl reserved for herself. It was nothing more than one serving more and the other less, with a fried egg on top, served with chopped green onion and a few slices Greens, I can't see any difference.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, Shen Fu stopped asking, and after thanking him, he sat down, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. Seeing that Zhou Heng had been secretly watching his movements after sitting down and eating, he was even more aware, as if he had no intention Stirred the noodles in the bowl, and saw the two pieces of braised pork in a logical way, and said in a surprised look:

"Hey, there is even braised pork, which is my favorite!"

Looking back, sure enough, the silly girl smiled happily...
