Chapter 232 He Decided
Su Jixiang nodded.
Although she didn't quite understand why Wei Ling trusted Nangong Rui so much, since it was Wei Ling's decision, she didn't need to question it.
Feeling a figure approaching, Su Jixiang turned his head and saw Wei Ling's handsome face enlarged in front of him.
"Oh my God!" Su Jixiang was startled. Just as he was about to retreat, Nangong Rui grabbed his waist. He leaned his head gently on Su Jixiang's shoulder, but held Su Jixiang in his arms.
"Madam is so nice." Wei Ling said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I am good!" Su Jixiang laughed, but she was still very happy that Wei Ling praised her. "You are lucky!" She patted Wei Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"That's right!" Wei Ling said proudly, "Buddha said that it takes 500 glances in the previous life to get a chance to pass by each other in this life. My wife and I can be husband and wife in this life, so we must have been husband and wife in the previous life!"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe your eyes were crooked in your previous life? God took pity on you, so he let me be your wife in this life?" Su Jixiang curled his lips and joked.
Since Su Jixiang has decided to be with Wei Ling, the two have now become a real couple, and Su Jixiang is no longer as reserved as before.
"Yes. God just took pity on me, so he let me meet you." Wei Ling said.
Su Jixiang...he was thinking of his family again.
"If you are tired, just lean back and rest for a while. We will be home soon." Su Jixiang changed the subject.
"I did drink a little too much. But I'm not very tired." Wei Ling said, "Madam, are you tired? Do you want to lean on me and rest for a while?"
"No need." Su Jixiang said with a smile.
The head on his shoulder arched, and he knew how to find a posture. He changed himself into a comfortable position and leaned against Su Jixiang, wrapping the two bodies intimately with his cloak, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Outside the carriage, the night wind was howling and the snow seemed to have started. It was getting heavier and heavier. The two people in the carriage snuggled up to each other, but they didn't feel the cold at all.
Nangong Rui spent the night suffering from hunger and cold.
He did not look for an inn to stay, but walked slowly through the streets and alleys of Mangcheng.
The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. He walked almost all night. He thought a lot that night. He only stopped in the morning.
The moment he stopped, the wind and snow gradually stopped.
He looked at the eastern sky, where there was a faint light. Although the sunrise after the snow stopped seemed not as dazzling and magnificent as that on a sunny day, it was dawn after all, and the little white light in the sky still brought some warmth to Nangong Rui.
He first found a steamed bun shop that had just opened, ordered a few steamed buns and a bowl of hot mutton soup, and after he ate all of them, he felt as if his body had warmed up a little, and his limbs gradually warmed up. He sat on a stool and moved himself a little, asked the shopkeeper for a basin of water and a piece of cloth, cleaned himself up, paid the money, and then walked out of the shop.
After stretching himself, Nangong Rui strode towards the general's mansion.
He figured it out.
What the lady meant last night was what the general meant.
He really couldn't go back to the military camp, but staying in the general's mansion in another identity was no different from staying in the military camp.
He was willing to sell himself to the general's mansion for fifteen years.
It's only been fifteen years. His family treated him like that, but the general always lent a helping hand when he was most embarrassed and helpless. So let alone selling himself for fifteen years, he would be willing to sell himself to the general for his whole life.
He can tell what is important and what is not.
Before, he was always thinking about the kindness of his parents, so he had not been decisive enough in doing things, and was also kidnapped by the so-called family affection and lost his original intention, but he will not do that in the future.
Everyone has a scale to judge right from wrong.
After he had dealt with the affairs at home, he stayed in the general's mansion with peace of mind and worked for the general.
In the dim morning light, the seemingly inconspicuous doorway of the general's mansion seemed to be bathed in soft light.
Nangong Rui waited at the door for a long time, after all, he came too early.
After seeing Wei Feng open the corner door and come out to clean the snow on the steps at the door, Nangong Rui quickly stepped forward and said, "Young man, can you give a message to the lady and tell her that Nangong Rui has thought it over." He bowed to Wei Feng.
He had never met Wei Feng before, but he recognized him when Wei Feng called him yesterday.
Wei Feng looked at him and then laughed, "No wonder Madam asked me to get up early to sweep the steps last night. It turned out it wasn't because of the snow last night." He leaned the broom against the door and said to Nangong Rui, "No need to go in and tell her. Madam has already gotten up. I'll take you in."
Nangong Rui followed Wei Feng into the courtyard of the general's mansion. This was his first time here and he wanted to look around curiously, but when he thought of his identity, he retracted his gaze.
"Madam is inside, please go in." Wei Feng led Nangong Rui to the kitchen and said with a smile.
Nangong Rui was slightly surprised. The general's wife actually cooked the meal herself?
Nangong Rui hesitantly opened the door and felt a warm breeze blowing towards him.
"Are you here? Come in." Su Jixiang was making pancakes. She asked Wei Zhong to go to the blacksmith shop to make a lot of things for her. Now they can be used one by one. She especially used a frying pan to make pancakes.
There was a little oil in the pan, and a half-baked golden pie was lying in the oil. A pleasant aroma wafted through the air. Even though Nangong Rui was full, he couldn't help but feel tempted by the aroma.
He had heard about the lady's cooking skills, which were famously good.
But what's even better is the atmosphere inside this kitchen.
There was porridge stewing on the stove. The porridge was not made of white rice, but millet. It was rolling in orange and yellow, with snow-white steam rising slowly. It was not big.
A maid in green was making a fire, and another maid was helping Su Jixiang cut vegetables.
Everything seems quiet and beautiful.
"It's fresh out of the pan, try it first." Su Jixiang said. She took a plate, put the pancake in the pan, and handed it to Nangong Rui. "Try the salted egg."
Even though Nangong Rui was full, he still reached out to take it. Looking at the greasy pancake on the plate, he couldn't help but take a bite.
Apart from being a little hot, the rest is fragrant...
The pancake skin was fried crispy, I don’t know what method Su Jixiang used, it seems that the skin is not one layer, but several layers stacked together, yet very thin and crispy. The filling inside is beef, not dry at all. When you bite it, it is not only juicy and rich, but also has an indescribable aroma!
good to eat!
