【Zhou Ye】The King of Luoyang

Later that day, Zhou Zekai fulfilled his wish.

Ten bowls of hot and spicy soup accompanied by ten bowls of stewed noodles were arranged in two circles, occupying half a square table.

The dishes are the most common in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, but with a background in the Shuai Mansion, it must be quite different. One can also imagine the exquisite ingredients and the refined cooking methods.Whether it's spicy soup or stewed noodles, the side dishes are different for each serving. The colorful and fragrant soups are gathered together, and under the reflection of a circle of colored lights on the eaves, there is a bit of fun of a group of delicacies.

Jiang Botao had something to do at home, so he went home first, and Zhou Zekai led Ye Xiu into the house and took a seat.A housekeeper and four maids followed. After serving them, Zhou Zekai gestured for them to go out. Only he and Ye Xiu were left in Nuo Da's hall, facing twenty bowls and not a single dish of side dishes.

In this kind of relationship, when you invite someone to eat, you always have to eat first as a respect, to show that they are not poisonous.Zhou Zekai casually took a small bowl, sipped the broth, and bit into the lasagna.

Ye Xiu, if you dare to come, I will dare to accept the move. Even if this is a big deal, let alone nineteen bowls of noodle soup.He picked up a silver spoon and drank the soup one by one, saying that the taste was good. The master came out of the palace, so he gave a reward.

He was originally a joke, and he said it casually, who would have thought that Zhou Zekai would really ring the bell to call the housekeeper in, and ordered to reward the chef, because Mr. Ye liked his cooking and enjoyed eating.

Ye Xiu didn't raise his eyelids, he chewed a piece of vegetable leaf tastelessly, wondering what Laojun's elixir was selling in Zhou Zekai's gourd.

Zhou Zekai finished eating first, put down the bowl and wiped his mouth politely, then concentrated on watching Ye Xiu eat.

Under Ye Xiu's staring eyes, he ate even more slowly, as if he wanted to test Zhou Zekai's patience.Not only would he not sit on pins and needles because of this, but he seemed to be taking someone's eyes for food, and from time to time he raised the corners of his eyes to respond to Zhou Zekai's glance, with a slight smile on his lips.

It was completely dark outside the house, and several lights in the house merged into a beautiful Taoyuan Township. A maid came in to refill tea for Zhou Zekai. In a trance, she thought she was watching the young master and grandma eating. The newlyweds were reluctant to stay in the bed, so it took so long to leave the bedroom. Looking across a table of bowls and chopsticks, I can't wait to eat with my little hands under the table.

The 15-year-old girl, who had just started her love affair with no one else, hurried out, blushing, and the water in the pot almost ran out.

Zhou Zekai lowered his eyelids and blew on the tea soup, blocking Ye Xiu's gaze. After taking a sip of the tea, he said, "There really is a jade factory."

"Do you really want to hire a consultant?" Ye Xiu guessed what he meant.

Zhou Zekai didn't answer.

Ye Xiu's voice was shallow, but he looked at Zhou Zekai with deep eyes, as if he was peeling off the outer layer of camouflage with his eyes.He thought that just now, Zhou Zekai hugged Boss Jiang's waist and kissed him in front of Boss Jiang just now, was he trying to trick him into handing over Yuxi willingly?Alas, although he is beautiful, it is a pity that he belongs to a good sister.But it's okay to enjoy the ready-made beauty.

This time, I want to retire and go back to my hometown to have a kiss, Ye Xiu made up his mind.Zhou Zekai's silence didn't prevent him from continuing, regardless of what the other party was going to do, "Can such a small temple in Luoyang fit in my big Buddha?" His tone was not small.

Zhou Zekai said without saying anything, I seem to have brought you back from a small town.

After dinner, Ye Xiu didn't ask him which room he slept in, and directly followed Zhou Zekai through the corridor and across the bridge, into Zhou Zekai's backyard, and returned to Zhou Zekai's room.

Zhou Zekai was quite satisfied with the self-consciousness of the diners, and got used to it in one night.

Before going to sleep, it is inevitable to be served by several servants, changing clothes, washing face, beating legs and soaking feet.Ye Xiu had never lived this kind of life, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He enjoyed it with peace of mind, even when Zhou Zekai came over after changing his pajamas, and brought him the bird's nest porridge on the table in front of all the servants. Dissatisfied with the bird's nest porridge itself, "I drank soup all night."

"This supplement." Zhou Zekai turned the spoon to dissipate heat from the porridge.

The aroma and heat rushed to his face, so Ye Xiu had no choice but to take the bowl, "After riding for a day, you should also make up for it."

The servants have all been trained and work independently, and no one dares to raise their eyes to see what the two of them are doing, but they can't control their eyes, but they can't control their hearts, and their hearts are arranged instead of eyes: their young master is holding The bowl was delivered to the man's mouth gently and courteously, but the man didn't appreciate it, so the young master scooped up a spoonful of porridge to feed him...

They heard the crisp sound of porcelain bowls and spoons colliding slightly, and heard the man surnamed Ye say, "The porridge is very fragrant."

Xiao Zhou was expressionless.

With the lesson learned from the past, Zhou Ye didn't sleep in a bed, Zhou Zekai slept in his own big bed with carved curtains, and Ye Xiu slept in the chaise longue outside.

When I woke up, the sun was just right, and there was no people in the room. There were two magpies standing on the window sills, chirping, reflecting the unique silence and solitude of a deep house.Ye Xiu walked around the three rooms, but Zhou Zekai was nowhere to be seen.This is not because Zhou Zekai has let down his vigilance against him, but because he is confident that he will never escape.Ye Xiu wasn't stupid, he didn't have any thoughts, if he wanted to run, he would be killed if he had the right chance, so why did he have to verify the fortifications of the commander's mansion over and over again?

He walked to the side hall, and there were face wash and mouthwash, breakfast and a new set of underwear on the table and stool. After washing, eating and changing, he just sat in the room bored and went out for a walk.

Sure enough, the door was not locked, if Zhou Zekai wanted to lock him up like a prisoner, he wouldn't have to do those scenes yesterday.

The Zhou Mansion was built in the east of Luoyang City. It is open and unsophisticated. It has the style of an old prince's house. The design and arrangement of the garden bring a bit of the melancholy style of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. One south and one north also complement each other.This mansion was originally a county prince's mansion in the former Qing Dynasty. After the old man took power in the Central Plains, he bought it from the dilapidated nobleman and remodeled it. He also invited foreign craftsmen from Shanghai to expand a new office courtyard.He handed over Henan to Zhou Zekai for military training, so naturally he also handed over the house and some of his courtiers.Zhou Zekai can be regarded as the veritable host here.

Ye Xiu found out last night that Zhou Zekai lived like an old-fashioned nobleman, refined and exquisite, so there was nothing unusual about his status.Walking around the Zhou Mansion now, he felt more and more that although the Zhou family father and son, like other warlords, started from scratch and wanted to clean up their backgrounds and improve their backgrounds, they were not arty like a cow chewing peony. Father's shadow.

Thinking of Zhou Zekai's purpose of getting himself here, his ambition is not small.

Going forward is the Hanging Flower Gate, Ye Xiu turned a corner and walked on the road.Passing by a courtyard on the way, when he got closer, he heard layers of voices coming from inside, presumably it was the servants gathering together to chat, and the sounds were from the girl's house, so Ye Xiu had to detour because it was inconvenient for him to go any further.In the end, I accidentally heard two sentences clearly, as if talking about myself, so I couldn't help standing still, standing beside a towering old tree, and listened to two more sentences.

There is a well in the courtyard. At this time, most of the maids and mothers in the Shuai Mansion are washing clothes and brushing things around the well, talking and exchanging new things, so that they can enjoy the work in their hands.

What Ye Xiu heard was this sentence—hey, have you seen that the young man brought back by the young master yesterday looks older than him.
