Food for the people

It's the end of May now, July [-]th is only one and a half months away, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but Qiao Yu still has a lot of things to do, and he is so busy every day that he can't even take care of Yulou.

Fortunately, with Zhao Kang's help to take care of him, he was able to spare time to do his own things.

In the midsummer of May, ice bricks were placed on the four corners of Linxiu Pavilion, and the temperature in the room was relatively cool, but Qiao Yu was still sweating from the heat. He just wanted to lie on the bed and enjoy the cool air.

He was wrestling with the belt, so a pair of well-knit hands stretched out from behind, went around his waist, and untied the knot on the belt that was about to be pulled into a knot by him in two or three.

"The kitchen has made a sweet soup, don't try it yet, just try it."

Lu Jincheng poked his head out from behind him, wiped the sweat off his forehead for him, took off Qiao Yu's bright red wedding gown from Shuxiu Pavilion, put it aside, and picked up the red beans sprinkled with sweet-scented osmanthus honey on the table The sweet soup was passed to Qiao Yu.

The sweet soup was chilled in crushed ice, and it was cool and comfortable to the touch. Qiao Yu held it in his hand and couldn't wait to taste it.

The red beans are boiled until soft and most of the outer skin has been filtered out, poured with sweet osmanthus honey, it tastes sweet and cool, when you stir it with a spoon, you will find that there are thumb-sized glutinous rice balls buried in the sweet soup. Snow white, soft and sweet after a bite.

Qiao Yu drank a bowl in one gulp, only to feel that the heat in his body dissipated a bit, and sighed comfortably.

Lu Jincheng sat on the side, and after seeing him finish drinking, he asked, "Is it better? If it's too hot, I won't try it yet."

Qiao Yu chose July [-]th. This day was too rushed and there were too many things to prepare. Not only Qiao Yu was busy, but Lu Jincheng was often too busy to be seen.

Qiao Yu is different from others, except for Qiao Ling, there are no other serious relatives in the family, so they got married and bypassed Napin and set a date first.

But bypassing is bypassing, and it doesn't mean not to accept it. Although Qiao Yu himself feels that he is a big man and really doesn't need any dowry gift, Lu Jincheng insists that the offer must not be less, not less, It is also necessary to be satisfied that everyone in Hanyang City knows everyone.Qiao Yu didn't like calling him a dowry, so he didn't call it a bride price, but Lu Jincheng wanted to give Qiao Yu nothing less.

Qiao Yu couldn't resist him, so she let him go. Anyway, they got married, and what Lu Jincheng owned was his, and what was his was naturally Lu Jincheng's.

Lu Jincheng didn't mean to ask Qiao Yu the whole process. Qiao Yu didn't like to call it a dowry, so Lu Jincheng prepared it as a gift. Since it was a gift, he definitely wouldn't ask Qiao Yu what he wanted. thing.

The news of King Yan's big wedding and that he was going to marry a man spread like wildfire, and it caused an uproar as expected. Later, someone revealed that the princess was the shopkeeper of Deyulou on the West Street. It has become a scenic spot that everyone rushes to visit. For several days in a row, the whole street is crowded.

It's a pity that Qiao Yu is not here these days.

In other words, even if they were here, they wouldn't let them see people. Except for those who knew Qiao Yu originally, such as Wan Niang and others, the rest of them were quite enthusiastic about the news after they hadn't seen anyone for a few days. Qiao Yu faded away.

Probably because Meng Shangshu Zhuyu was in front, and there were not many people who dared to yell at King Guan Yan this time, so although everyone regarded this matter as a must-talk after dinner for a long time, it was obviously not as controversial as before .

But it's not that there are no curses at all. Even if 99 of all living beings can accept it, there will always be one who can't accept it.

What Meng Zhao said was right, there are always some people who stick to what they think are correct views, and are eager to get rid of all the things he doesn't like.

The guards outside Prince Yan's mansion were guarded by layers of guards, but no one was willing to die and dared to come here presumptuously.

But Qiao Yu's small courtyard was different.

When Qiao Yu was still living there, when he got up one morning, he saw that the yard had been splashed with mud, and the mud was splashed all over the yard. Qiao Yu got up late, and Qiao Ling saw it first. After arriving, I didn't tell him the first time. I cleaned it quietly for a while, and Qiao Yu didn't see it until he got up.

Qiao Yu glanced around the yard expressionlessly, smiled at Qiao Ling, said it was all right, just clean up, coaxed Qiao Ling not to be so worried, and sent Qiao Ling to the academy, and he His face turned cold.

Then that night, he caught the man who dared to act wild outside his yard. It was a man with a pot of chicken blood in his hand, and was about to pour it in, when Qiao Yu caught him. The man had the courage to throw mud in his yard, but he was not so courageous. When he saw Qiao Yu, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he was obsessed with ghosts, and he would never dare again.

Of course, Qiao Yu didn't have any good intentions to let him go, and naturally she gave that person a good lesson.

But in the end, Lu Jincheng knew about it. He wasn't with Qiao Yu that day, so he didn't know what happened in Qiao Yu's yard, but Qiao Yu couldn't hide it, and Qiao Yu felt that There is no need to keep this matter from Lu Jincheng, after all, it is a matter between the two of them, and there is really no need for him to carry it alone.

Although the courtyard was only dirty and did not cause any substantial harm to Qiao Yu and his brothers, Lu Jincheng was still furious. After cleaning up the people severely, he asked Qiao Yu and Qiao Ling to move together. Entered Prince Yan's mansion.

Qiao Yu didn't refuse. After all, only Qian Ri was a thief, and there was no reason for Qian Ri to guard against robbers. If he was the only one, he wouldn't have anything to worry about. He was mainly worried about Qiao Ling.

But fortunately, Qiaoling studied at Songyu Academy, so they won't be affected too much by this incident, and the person who was able to enter Songyu Academy is more tolerant of Mr. Songyu and Meng Zhao's affairs, so even if He was a student in the academy, and he didn't show any malice towards Qiao Ling, which reassured Qiao Yu a lot.

Qiao Yu agreed here, and Lu Jincheng took him into Prince Yan's Mansion, and tidied up two spacious and bright houses next to Linxiu Pavilion for Qiao Yu and the others to live in. As for Qiao Ling who went to school every day, there was The carriage made a special trip to send them there, and when the time came in the afternoon, they would pick them up again.

Grandma Song knew what happened in Qiao's yard, and she was very supportive of them moving out. Anyway, if they wanted to see Qiao Yu, they could go to Deyu Tower, which wasn't too far away.

Qiao Yu finished his mind wandering wildly, sighed and said: "It's okay, Mr. Shen said, today is the last time, you can start to make it after you try Xiu Niang, if it's hot, I'll make milk shaved ice eat."

Empress Dowager Shen told Shu Embroidery Pavilion to design several different styles of wedding clothes for the two of them. They roughly made a shape without embroidery, and sent them to Qiao Yu for him to try on one by one in the past two days. Pick out the one he likes the most.

The wedding dress was wrapped in three layers of gauze, and Qiao Yu was so hot just by looking at it. He was very impatient to try it, and thought that any one would be fine, but this kind of thing only happens once in a lifetime. , the heat is only hot this time, and I feel that it must be perfect, so I have to pinch my nose and try again and again. Until today, there is only the last shape left.

Qiao Yu ate a bowl of sweet red bean soup, and took off his coat to try on the last set of wedding clothes.

This wedding dress is simpler and thinner than the previous ones, and has no extra decorations. It only embroiders two entangled lotuses with gold and silver threads on the hem and cuffs, and it will not be embroidered into large flowers. , but dark lines that are not obvious even if you don't follow the light.

Qiao Yu tried on so many clothes, but this one was the only one. She didn't find it too exaggerated and cumbersome, but she liked it. She turned her head to look at Lu Jincheng, and said, "That's it, I like it."

Lu Jincheng was also wearing the bright red wedding dress that he tried on earlier. Hearing this, he raised his head and took a look at Qiao Yu, narrowed his eyes, and waved to Qiao Yu.

The corners of Qiao Yu's mouth curled up, and he walked up to Lu Jincheng and sat down next to him, and asked with his head, "What do you think, my lord?"

Lu Jin's Adam's apple was rolling, and he reached out to rub his ear, "It looks good."

Qiao Yu was trembling when he touched him. His ears are very sensitive recently, and he can't touch or see. If he sees too much, he will turn red and hot. He quickly turned his head and said, "Then this one, it's not as hot as those ones. Cool off."

Lu Jincheng smiled: "When the teacher sent it, I thought you would definitely like this one. The teacher also said it was too plain, so I didn't think it was suitable."

Qiao Yu didn't think it was plain, but felt that the previous ones were too flamboyant. If he was really a woman, he would definitely like it, but it's a pity that he is a man.

After trying on the wedding clothes, Qiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has been in Prince Yan's Mansion recently, but Zhao Kang and the others have already moved out of Prince Yan's Mansion and lived in the small courtyard behind Deyu Building. It is not a bad idea to go to work on weekdays. It's convenient, and I can help you look at it at night.

He has a lot of things to do in the past two days, and Deyulou was always surrounded by people to see him, so he hasn't been to Deyulou for several days, and today he finally got free to do all the things that should be done It's over, idle is idle, and I simply thought about going to Deyulou.

Naturally, Lu Jincheng had no objection, and accompanied him to change into wedding clothes and went to Deyulou.

Although there were not many people waiting to visit outside the Deyu Tower, there were still quite a few guests inside. When Qiao Yu entered through the back door, Zhao Kang was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and Aunt Qiufeng put it aside for him. There is no time to take a sip of mung bean soup.

Qiao Yu looked very guilty. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, he rolled up his sleeves without saying a word, and settled the things that Zhao Kang was about to make properly.

Zhao Kang was taken aback by the sudden extra people, and after seeing clearly that it was him, he asked with a smile, "Why is the young master here? Isn't there a lot of things these two days? Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Qiao Yu shook his head: "It just so happens that I'm free, so come and have a look, I don't have anything to worry about if I leave it to you."

He neatly put another dish prepared by Zhao Kang into the pot, then turned his head and asked, "Is there anyone here who is looking for trouble in the building these two days?"

Wen Shaolin was first, and Qiao's small courtyard was behind, Qiao Yu was somewhat worried that someone would make trouble in Deyulou.

But Zhao Kang shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't worry, my lord, there are people watching at night in Yulou."

Qiao Yu hummed suspiciously.

Hearing this, Zhao Kang pointed to the outside, landed on Lu Jincheng through the curtain, and said, "The prince specially sent someone to watch over him. He has been watching for several days. Don't you know, my lord?"

Qiao Yu really didn't know.

It turned out that this person had always noticed his worries, and he did it silently without telling him.

Obviously the two have been together every day, where did he find the time to do things behind his back that made him curl his lips just thinking about it?

How could this person be so likable? I couldn't stop liking him for a moment.
