Nangong Ye came just after dinner was ready, almost making Mourning think that the other party came over just in time. He washed his hands in a hurry and asked Ah Niu to help make dinner together. Fortunately, all the meals have been prepared If he wasn't ready when Nangong Ye came, then it would be a joke. He would be ashamed if he invited others to dinner and asked them to wait.

The backyard of Momo Restaurant is where Mourning and the others live. Apart from two rooms and a utility room for storing things, there is only one hall left, which is used by Mourning as their dining room. When they ate in that hall, it was also close to the kitchen, and it was very convenient to serve dishes and bowls. Mourning hurried to the hall with a rag. As he expected, Nangong Ye was already in the hall , when he passed, his back was facing the door, and he slightly looked up at a painting on the wall. From Mourning's perspective, he could only see his side face, a man in blue clothes and a man in blue clothes were on the left. Standing right behind him.

"Young Master Nangong—" he yelled, and ran in quickly. Nangong Ye, who heard his voice, turned around, just in time to see Mourning stepping into the hall with his sleeves rolled up high, revealing two white knots. Hua Hua's arms, but her face was dirty, black here and there, as if she just crawled out of the garbage dump, she couldn't help smiling, "Ah Ning, you just rolled around in the garbage dump ?” Otherwise, why is it like this?

"Ah?" Mourning was taken aback for a moment, obviously unable to keep up with the other party's thinking, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence, but his silly appearance amused Nangong Ye, he couldn't help smiling again, and then looked at Mourning Walking two steps closer, he stretched out his thumb and wiped lightly on his right cheek, "There are all black marks here." After finishing speaking, he was taken aback.

"Ah?" Mourning didn't notice the other party's stupefaction, but took a step back subconsciously, and asked in doubt, "Black mark?" He reached out to wipe his face, but he didn't expect that the black mark would spread even more. Wider, looked down at the back of his hand, and sure enough a black thing stuck to the back of his hand, "Ah, it must have been obtained when the fire was lit just now." He was annoyed, unaware of Nangongye's action How intimate, frowning and rubbing his face vigorously with the back of his hand, it is conceivable that the black mark was not only not wiped off, but it expanded more and more, and finally almost the entire cheek became black , Lan Qi on the side couldn't help laughing, wondering, how could the person who owns such a big restaurant be so dumb!

And Nangong Ye didn't listen carefully to what Mo Ning said just now, because all his attention was on the finger that touched Mo Ning's cheek just now, and his index finger and thumb were caressing slowly. He pressed down without a trace, and soon felt relieved, thinking lightly, maybe his expression was too funny just now, that's why he made such an inexplicable move.

He was naturally not the only one who was surprised. Zhu Qing and Lan Qi, who had been standing silently by the side, were both taken aback. Others may not understand, but they are naturally very surprised after being by Nangong Ye's side for so long. Clearly, despite his easy-going appearance, Nangong Ye actually has a lot of eccentricities. One of his eccentricities is that he doesn't like any physical contact with others, even his mother, Mrs. Nangong. , And this time they actually saw his grandfather wipe a boy's face by himself?This shows what?

Could it be that just because the other party is a person with great cooking skills, can Nangong Ye treat him differently?If the girls who threw themselves into their hands knew, wouldn't they be mad at them?

"Young Master Nangong, please wait for a while. Dinner will be ready soon. I'll go wash my face first." He walked back as he spoke, but he backed away halfway, and looked up a little embarrassedly. He raised his hand so that everyone could see the rag in his hand, "Hehe, let me wipe the table first." He just came here to wipe the table, but he forgot.

He left after wiping the table, and when he came out after washing his face, Ah Niu had brought out all the food, even the rice was filled, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw that there were only two bowls of rice on the table. Puzzled: "Brother A Niu, why did you only serve two bowls of rice? Aren't there eight people here?" A Niu and his wife, plus him and the two children, there are five people in total, and Nangong Ye The three of them, don't they add up to eight people?It should hold eight bowls of rice, right?Why are there only two bowls of rice?

Hearing his question, Ah Niu was very surprised, "But—" He didn't know what to say next, generally speaking, when there are guests at home, women are not allowed to eat with them at the table, and A Niu thinks that the couple were invited by Mourning to come back to help, and they are like servants. It is okay to eat together at ordinary times, but once there are guests at home, they should naturally avoid them. What kind of joke happened at the dinner table, so A Niu and his wife also decided not to let the two little children sit at the table, besides, who is Nangong Ye?How could it be possible to eat with ordinary people like them?

Ah Niu felt that he had done nothing wrong, why was Mourning's reaction so strange?

But Mourning didn't understand this. He didn't think about it at all. He originally planned to sit around and eat a meal together, so he was surprised when he saw that Ah Niu only served two bowls of rice. A Niu couldn't explain why, so he couldn't help but frowned, and said: "It's getting late, everyone must be hungry too, Brother A Niu, go ask Madam Niu to come out for dinner." Turning to Nangong Ye again, he said to Nangong Ye: "Sit down first, I'll serve the meal, and I'll be back soon." As he said that, he turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen to serve the meal, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Ah Niu.

"Brother A Niu?" He was puzzled, but A Niu frowned and looked at Nangong Ye hesitantly, and then pulled Mourning out, who was dragged out by him in a daze, "Brother A Niu, what are you doing?" gone?"

Ah Niu let go of Mourning only after he went out, and told him the reason with a frown. He originally thought that Mourning would obediently give up the idea of ​​eating together after listening to it, but he didn't expect that Mourning's eyes rolled He stared, and said in disapproval: "Here you and Madam Niu are our family members. Today is a thanksgiving feast. You are our family members, so of course you have to be present." He didn't expect that it was because of such a reason, After finishing what A Niu said, he vaguely remembered that the history teacher seemed to have said this before. In ancient times, when there were guests at home, women could not appear, and they had to hide in the room.It seems that although he came from a dynasty that has never appeared in history, some customs are still somewhat the same in essence.

"Ah Ning, to be honest, I am really happy when you say this, so I can't listen to you even more, and I can't let your thoughts today be wasted. Think about it, Master Nangong is not an ordinary person. His With such a noble status, how could he bear to eat at the same table with lowly people like us? If Master Nangong is dissatisfied because of this, it will be bad for Momo Restaurant."

After listening to what Ah Niu said, even though Mourning wanted to refute Ah Niu, he still had to admit that what Ah Niu said was very reasonable. After all, the hierarchy among ancient families was very strict, and people were divided into three religions and nine streams. They are all divided into grades. He has just met Nangong Ye and has no idea what kind of person Nangong Ye is. What if he really takes these things seriously?

Mourning was in a bit of trouble for a while.On the one hand, he really wants everyone to sit together and eat, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to make Nangong Ye feel dissatisfied. Anyway, the other party has done him such a big favor, if it still makes the other party feel unhappy, it is really too much It shouldn't be.

"Brother A Niu..." He hesitated, and when he looked up, he happened to see Nangong Ye, who was looking towards this side with a smile on his face. ——" He believed in his intuition, although he admitted that what A Niu said made sense, but he felt that Nangong Ye was not that kind of person, otherwise he wouldn't have helped him so many times so kindly.

As soon as he raised his head and met Shang Nangongye's star-like black eyes, he paused, and then said: "It may be a little abrupt, but I still want to ask you, do you mind letting Brother A Niu and the others come with you? Eat at the same table?"

"Ah Ning!" Ah Niu, who followed Mourning in, heard that it was too late to stop him, and Mourning had already asked, but Mourning ignored his exclamation behind him, just raised his face slightly, his eyes He looked at Nangong Ye intently.

Being watched so intently by those penetrating eyes, Nangong Ye was slightly taken aback, then came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Of course I don't mind."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qing and Lan Qi were even more astonished. His father never shared the same things with others, but he would agree to Mourning's request. This is simply too shocking.

And Nangong Ye's words were naturally not from the heart. Since childhood, unless it was his parents and master, he had never eaten with other tablemates. This time he agreed to eat with Mourning because he couldn't afford it. Live the lure of gourmet food.However, he never expected that things would develop to this point. He thought that Mourning invited him to dinner because it was just the two of them, but he didn't expect that there would be others.

And the other party has already made a request, so it is naturally impossible for him to refuse explicitly, but it is indeed a bit difficult to accept that he should have dinner with those strangers.

Thinking of this, an imperceptible complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Mourning, who has always been carefree, caught the trace of complexity in his eyes this time. When he thought about it, he almost figured it out. He knew that the other party probably didn't want to eat the same dish with strangers.That's right, generally speaking, people with noble status are more or less particular about it. I'm afraid even Nangong Ye is no exception, right?Fortunately, in this case, he also has a countermeasure: If you don’t want to eat the same dish with others, then you can use serving chopsticks, which is hygienic and can solve problems satisfactorily, how great!Then, Mourning happily went down to prepare.

So, this matter developed in such an unimaginable way. A Niu, who had been pushing back and refused to agree, finally couldn't hold back Mourning and sat down. Even Mrs. Niu asked Mourning to come over. After they were all seated, Mo Ning found that Zhu Qing and Lan Qi were still standing like a piece of wood, and couldn't help but said in amazement: "It's time to eat, aren't you hungry?"

Hearing that Zhuqing and Lan Qi looked at each other in dismay, since they were with Nangongye, they had never eaten at the same table with Nangongye, and they always went to eat separately when Nangongye was eating.

But this time was an exception. Speaking of which, it was the first time Nangong Ye agreed to someone else's invitation!This kind of situation has never been encountered before. Nangong Ye is very particular about food. Needless to say, when he was in Guigu, it has always been his master who cooks. After returning to Nangong Mansion, naturally It is the chef of Nangong Mansion who cooks. When you return to Nangong Ye, unless necessary, I have never seen him eat outside. Even if you have to eat outside, you should try your best not to move your chopsticks. Then ask the chef from Nangong Mansion to do it.

So they were actually very surprised that Nangong Yehui agreed to Mourning's invitation, but they hid it well. Now after hearing Mourning's startled question, when they were about to decline, they heard their master faintly Said: "Sit down." They were so shocked that they thought they were hallucinating.

But no matter what, the final result is eight people, six adults and two children sitting together at a round table, steaming meals are placed on the table, and a pair of chopsticks are placed on each dish, Mourning He smiled and said: "This is the public chopsticks. If you want to pick up food, you can use these chopsticks to pick them up and put them in your own bowls." The soup has already been put into the bowls by him. Soup is also good for moistening the throat.

After finishing these, Mourning asked Ah Niu to bring the wine and wine glasses. Except Mrs. Niu and the two children, the rest of the people were put in front of each of them with a white wine glass. Mourning stood up He poured wine into each wine glass, put down the jug, and said to Nangong Ye: "These are not delicacies, but they are just home-cooked dishes. Mr. Nangong has done me such a favor, and I can't repay it. I only have a good cooking skill, I hope Mr. Nangong will not dislike you." After speaking, he raised his wine glass and said boldly: "Mr. Nangong, this cup is my respect to you, thank you for your generous help!" He took the lead to drink it up .

Nangong Ye didn't speak. It should be said that he was amused by Mourning's expression. He was obviously looking like a frail scholar, but he wanted to look like a bandit king. He was simply providing a joke for everyone.Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the meals on the table. Every meal exudes a tempting thought. He secretly thought, if every home-cooked dish was so delicious, he would rather not eat any delicacies from mountains and seas. It's good to be able to make the best use of everything. If you can't cook well, it's just a waste.

He is very satisfied with Mourning's cooking skills. If Nangong Ye was born in modern times, no matter how extraordinary his demeanor and temperament are, there can only be two words - foodie!That's right, to explain it in modern terms, he is a foodie, or a top foodie, as long as it is delicious, there are countless chefs in Nangong Mansion, all of whom are collected by him, and he has eaten all kinds of flavors, even He has even tried some very unusual dishes, but unfortunately, until now, the only meals he is most satisfied with are the meals made by his master.

But now, there is one more person.Whether it was the roasted mutton cooked by that person or the steamed chicken with lotus leaf powder, every dish made him very satisfied, and made him feel like eating again and again. This is the main reason why he is willing to help the other party. Of course, apart from this For a little bit, it has more or less something to do with me, a little inexplicable feeling, even he himself feels a little inexplicable.

Of course, he, Nangong Ye, has always acted casually, so even though he didn't understand why he wanted to get close to the other party, he still found an opportunity to get close to him. He believed that time would bring him the answer. All he had to do was just Just wait, wait for time to give him a satisfactory or unsatisfactory answer.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and lightly touched Mourning's empty glass. The elegant temperament revealed inadvertently made Mourning stunned. ?Even an inadvertent movement is so elegant, this is simply too unscientific!

While thinking about Mourning in his heart, he grabbed the jug and filled Nangongye's glass. Lan Qi has always been the most active one. Zhu Qing raised his wine glass and said loudly: "It's done!" As a result, Zhu Qing gave him a cold look and then turned away, ignoring him at all. Lan Qijun turned his face and shouted: "Ah Qing, you are really disrespectful!" He deliberately made a sad face, Mourning was amused by his appearance, and even A Niu and Aunt Niu, who had been trembling all the time, laughed softly, the atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely At this time, it finally started to warm up.

The little baby and the little boy have been sitting obediently in their seats, and they eat whatever Mourning gives them. They didn't say a word during the whole process, but the little baby always looked at it with a slightly sad look. Looking at Mourning, as if accusing Mourning of ignoring him, he was only busy talking to the good-looking man. The little baby's cheeks were bulging, and he stared at the opposite side with a pair of big round eyes. two people watching.He used to sit next to his father every time he ate, and often he even finished eating in his arms, but this time after the good-looking person came, his father actually put him Arranged to such a far place, the little baby feels very wronged!

It's a pity that Mourning didn't notice the little baby's aggrieved eyes, but Lan Qi who was sitting next to him saw it. Such a cute little baby made Lan Qi laugh out loud, and the puffy cheeks made him even more so. I think it is extremely cute, and after a long time of patience, I finally couldn't help stretching out my claws, touching the little baby's cheek, using a little force with the index finger and thumb, and pinching, the little baby's cute little face instantly deformed, and she kept staring at the opposite side intently The little baby finally let Lan Qi's pinch back to his senses, his little face hurt, and he looked at the owner of the devil's claw in horror, his big round eyes instantly burst into tears, which made Lan Qi feel even more itchy. intolerable.

--what to do?I really want to continue bullying!

While thinking about it, Lan Qi couldn't help stretching out his claws again, squeezed, squeezed again, the little baby was tearful and seemed to be about to cry in an instant, Lan Qi threatened in time: "Don't cry, if you cry, you will cry!" You sold it to the big bad guy!"

You are a badass!The little boy was extremely wronged, but he didn't dare to cry, so he put his wronged eyes on Mourning pitifully, but was even more wronged to find that his father's attention was not on him at all, and his father was turning his head slightly, I don't know what you're talking about with that person in purple, disgusting!His father is so annoying!

Lan Qi got excited about playing, and in the end, he simply hugged the little baby on his lap, pinching here, touching there, playing so well that he couldn't get enough of it.The poor little baby dared not speak out, so he had to keep his mouth open, feeling extremely aggrieved.The little boy watched anxiously, wanting to help the little boy out of the clutches of the hateful adult, but he was also thinking about the master's instructions to him before the meal - don't make the guests unhappy!If he directly snatched Momo back from that hateful adult, would it make him unhappy?

While thinking like this, while looking at the little baby with a flat mouth, the little boy was so anxious that he wished to throw that hateful guy out immediately. How could his lovely Momo fall into the hands of such a hateful person!

Zhu Qing looked at Lan Qi's triumphant smile coldly, the word scum was written in his cold eyes.

And Mrs. Niu was busy persuading Ah Niu to drink less, and had no time to take into account the situation of the little baby. Because Mourning was explaining to Nangong Ye what the dishes on the dinner table were made of, it was naturally Didn't notice the little baby, the atmosphere at the dinner table was always very lively, Ah Niu was a rough man, he quickly put aside his previous fear of Nangong Ye, and poured down the wine one cup after another.

After drinking for three rounds, Ah Niu was a little drunk, he hiccupped and tapped his tongue and said: "Mr. Nan, Mr. Nangong, I, Ah Niu, have never read any books or great principles in my whole life... …I don’t understand—” He hiccupped hard, his expression was serious and his eyes were straight, “…but I still, I still know what it means to know the meaning of gratitude. Master Nangong helped Aning, that is, helped I'm A Niu, and I'll toast you again!" After speaking, he grabbed the wine glass and drank it down.

Mrs. Niu quickly snatched the wine glass from Ah Niu's hand, and scolded: "You can't drink so much!" Then she looked up at Mourning and said apologetically, "Ah Ning, Ah Niu drank too much, I will help him down first. Wake up?"

Mourning also drank a little too much, his head was buzzing all the time, and he couldn't immediately understand what Niu Niu said, and finally Nangong Ye answered for him: "It's almost gone, help him down first have a rest."

It is said that Mrs. Niu gave him a grateful look, and then helped Ah Niu down who was still shouting. The little boy watched as Mrs. Niu helped Niu go back, sitting pitifully on Lan Qi's lap His face was full of grievances, and his small eyes drifted straight to Mourning, hoping that Mourning would rescue him from the big villain soon, but Mourning, who was a little drunk, didn't even care how many people were in front of him. It's clear, where can I see the little baby's eyes asking for help?

Zhuqing couldn't stand it anymore, and finally couldn't help but said coldly: "It's almost enough." Didn't you see that the little baby's cheeks were all flushed?Only then did Lan Qi stop his hands with some unfulfilled intentions, patted the little baby's soft face, and said with a wicked smile: "Little baby, let's do it this time first, let's continue playing next time!" Then put the baby back in his original position and do it.

Seeing this, the little boy immediately stood up and pulled the little boy to his side, hugged the little boy's soft body tightly, stared at Lan Qi vigilantly, then turned around, and half embraced the little boy. The baby ran out the door.

——This place is too dangerous!You have to leave now!

Lan Qi watched the back of the little boy half-embracing the little baby as if fleeing, and raised his eyebrows in deep interest.

I didn't expect that today's trip would let him discover such an interesting thing, it's not bad!

Zhuqing glanced up at him lazily, silently raised the wine glass to her mouth, took a shallow sip, and before putting down the wine glass, she suddenly heard a loud bang from the side, subconsciously He turned his head to look, but couldn't help but slightly widened his eyes in surprise.

Mourning, who was discussing things with his grandfather enthusiastically just now, unexpectedly lay down on the table without any warning, and his grandfather was holding a glass of wine, looking rested. Of course, if he can ignore the trace of the corner of his mouth With a slightly stiff smile, it is indeed a relaxed look.
