Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

"Thank you, Prince!" Gu Xiling thanked in a crisp voice with a sweet smile.

When Zhou Jin saw Gu Xiling's smile, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt a little disappointed.

Shouldn't Gu Xiling be angry with him at this time? After all, he had a history with Gu Xirong!

But not only was Gu Xiling not angry, she was also so polite to him. Was it because she didn't care about him?

Zhou Jin was feeling conflicted at the moment.

At this moment, Gu Xiling didn't care about Zhou Jin's complicated mood. She would not guess a man's mind, nor would she satisfy a man's ridiculous arrogance.

At this moment, the man is not as good as the two garlic heads in her hand. At least they can make her lunchtime mutton hotpot taste better!

The main goal is to be open-minded, eat well and sleep well!

Xiulan exclaimed, eyes full of admiration, "Brother Laifu, you are amazing. You actually dug out a garlic as big as a fist."

Lai Fu raised his chubby face and said with a proud smile: "Of course, I am your Brother Lai Fu! Madam, is it enough to eat? If not, dig some more."

Gu Xiling looked at Xiulan’s basket, which was already half full, and laughed crisply.

"That's enough for this time. Come back and dig more garlic later. Remember, dig the big ones and leave the small ones. More garlic will grow next year."

Xiulan was carrying a basket, and Lai Fu took it over. "Xiulan, let me carry it. Don't tire yourself out. Why don't you wear a veil when you go out? Your face is getting sunburned!"

Lai Fu picked up the basket, took two quick steps, snatched a lotus leaf from the guard's hand, and put it directly upside down on Xiulan's head.

"Lotus leaves can also provide shade and smell good. When the lotus pods grow, I'll pick some and give them to you to taste."

Xiulan smiled, her eyes showing shyness, but more of joy, "Thank you, Brother Laifu."

Wearing a lotus leaf on your head, you can block the scorching sun and make your face feel comfortable.

Just now, Gu Xiling fell down while pulling garlic, and her skirt fell off.

Zhou Jin followed suit and quickly put the lotus leaf in his hand on Gu Xiling's head. "It's hot and stuffy here, but the lotus leaf is cool."

Gu Xiling was startled for a moment, then smiled, revealing her neat white teeth, "Thank you, my Lord."

Gu Xiling held the brim of the lotus leaf straw hat on her head with one hand and swung a garlic with the other, walking briskly along the country road.

She hummed the folk song she learned in her childhood, "The green umbrella on the water is a beautiful sight, look at it swaying in the wind and rain, the flowers blooming calmly are still pretty, I say you are as charming as the lotus in the water..."

The song was gentle and melodious, soothing Zhou Jin's nervous and anxious heart.

It turns out that being nice to her isn't difficult at all.

The key is to have heart!

Lai Fu walked behind, gave Zhou Jin a thumbs up, and whispered in a low voice: "Prince, this is wonderful! Wonderful!"

Zhou Jin pursed his lips and chuckled, "This prince will reward you and Zhou Er handsomely today."

After saying this, Zhou Jin chuckled, walked briskly, and swayed his long sleeves.

The kitchen slaughtered a sheep today, cut the best and tenderest meat from the sheep into thin slices, and placed them neatly on a plate.

Lunch has arrived.

A copper pot was placed on the dining table, with charcoal burning in it and water bubbling up.

There were already four plates of mutton on the table, as well as dishes of soy sauce, garlic oil, sesame oil, and dogwood oil.

The old lady came to the dining room with the help of the servant.

As soon as you come in, you can smell this overbearing and tempting fragrance.

"Is this what we're going to eat for lunch today?" The old lady frowned slightly.

Gu Xiling nodded. The doctor specifically told the old lady that she should eat meat, and that she should eat lamb, which is hot in nature.

"Yes! This lamb tastes very good, and has little fishy smell! Paired with these saucepans, I guarantee the old lady will never forget it after eating it."

The old lady swallowed her saliva and retorted with great difficulty in her heart, "I worship Buddha and don't eat these meaty things!"

"You young people like to eat it, so you eat it, but I won't! Ask the kitchen to prepare some vegetarian dishes for me!"

Gu Xiling stood up and supported the old lady's arm. "Grandma, do you not eat meat because you worship Buddha, or do you just not want to eat meat?"

The old lady was about to say that she didn't want to eat, but the overbearing aroma hit her in the face, causing her to swallow frequently and her stomach to growl.

"Of course it's because you can't eat meat when worshiping Buddha!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiling chuckled, "Even Buddhist disciples have said that wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart."

"If you have Buddha in your heart, you will see Buddha everywhere and at all times. Do you think you no longer believe in Buddha just because you eat meat?"

The old lady was slightly startled when she heard this, "Buddha is merciful. As long as you believe in Buddha wholeheartedly, he will certainly forgive everything for the believers."

Gu Xiling nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, the Buddha is merciful, and all beings are equal in the eyes of the Buddha."

"Whether it's flowers or plants, or chickens, fish, meat, or eggs, they are all equal. Since we can eat grains, why can't we eat meat?"

"If we can only eat grains and vegetables, isn't that unfair to these vegetable plants?"

"As the saying goes, the Buddha is merciful and the Dharma is boundless. Of course, we must treat everyone equally and give equal treatment!"

Zhou Jin listened carefully to Gu Xiling's lively expression as she spoke rambling and made unreasonable arguments with a righteous attitude.

The key is to think about it carefully, it actually makes a lot of sense.

The old lady was stunned by Gu Xiling's eloquence.

"Then let me eat it?" The old lady swallowed her saliva greedily.

Gu Xiling used the serving chopsticks to pick up the freshly blanched mutton for the old lady.

"Grandma, eat it quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold!"

"Let's do more good deeds and help more people in the future. This will also bring us great merits, not just these few bites of meat."

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Grandma, Xiling is right. My grandson will eat it too!"

“We will then have people send clothes and food to the Salesian Church, so that we can help more people and do more good deeds.”

Since her grandchildren and their wives said so, the old lady no longer worried about it.

She picked up the mutton that had just been blanched, put it in the water, squinted her eyes, chewed slowly, and tasted it carefully.

He kept saying, "What a sin!"

But what I was thinking in my heart was “delicious, delicious”.

Gu Xiling picked up the blanched mutton, dipped it in a dish of garlic oil, and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm, this is a delicacy!"

Zhou Jin also ate mutton, but he would dip it in sesame oil or soy sauce, but not in garlic oil.

Zhou Jin has been well-behaved since childhood and is very self-disciplined. He never eats anything with strong odors, especially garlic.

Seeing Gu Xiling eating with gusto, Zhou Jin was eager to try.

Gu Xiling never lets down delicious food, let alone men.

She would wait until she was full and then slowly settle the account with Zhou Jin.

Gu Xiling noticed Zhou Jin's reserve, so she picked up the freshly blanched meat with a serving chopstick, dipped it in garlic oil, and put it on Zhou Jin's plate.

"Sir, there is a saying among the people that if you eat lamb without garlic, the taste will be reduced by half. Lamb with garlic is better than a living god."

"Hahaha!" Zhou Jin had to admit that he was amused by Gu Xiling's jingle. "Then I'm going to try it and see if I can be as good as a god."
