Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

When the two arrived at Tianguanfang again, Jia Zhuoji was laying out several dominoes in front of him, rubbing his chin and concentrating on contemplating, knowing what he was pondering without even thinking about it.Although he also didn't sleep all night, it was inevitable that his eyes would look black and blue, but his overly full spirit was completely different from Jiang Linxu's sluggishness.

When Jia Zhuoji saw the two of them, he immediately raised his head and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chu Tingyun said concisely: "Come and eat."

Jia Zhuoji was taken aback when he heard the words, but then he remembered what the two said yesterday that they wanted to get rid of the family and set up their own family.He guessed that he might not have enough silver taels at this time, so he said very generously: "I'll let the kitchen deliver the food, and I'll make sure it's enough."

Ye Huaiyun thanked him for his kindness, "Don't bother, we just go to the kitchen by ourselves."

"How can this be done?" Jia Zhuoji dissuaded, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so there is no reason to let guests go to the kitchen."

Chu Tingyun, who was still casual at first, immediately snorted when he heard him say this, "I've never been a gentleman."

Jia Zhuoji: "..." This was the first time I heard someone slander me like this, and I didn't know how to respond.But he was just out of politeness, and now he heard what Chu Tingyun said, so he sent someone to take them to the back kitchen, while he continued to fumble for the dominoes.

The trees in the backyard are green and fat, the begonias are red and thin, and there is no smell of copper in the gambling house.

Ye Huaiyun suddenly said: "People who call themselves gentlemen are often not real gentlemen."

Chu Tingyun agrees with this very much. For example, the dude upstairs who wants to learn a thousand things is just a top idiot.

Ye Huaiyun was ashamed, he didn't mean that.

What he wants to say is that those who don't call themselves gentlemen are often even more gentlemanly in people's eyes.

It's just that for those around him, the glorious Jiyue in the previous life ended up being wronged and died. In this life, he would rather do whatever he wants, fearless gentleman or villain, but always open-minded.

The two followed the boy to the backyard, "This is the back kitchen."

Pushing open the wooden door, the pungent smell of oily smoke rushed towards him, making Ye Huaiyun sneezed several times in a row.

"The kitchen is too dirty, let me ask." Chu Tingyun raised his sleeve to cover his nose.

"It's okay." Ye Huaiyun took a deep breath, and took his hand, "Stay a little longer and you'll get used to it."

It was just after breakfast at this point, and there was still some time before lunch, so there was no one in the kitchen for the time being.The two rummaged casually. In Nuo Da's kitchen, there were a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the vegetable basket, and there were a few crucian carp swimming in the wooden barrel, which made people quite appetizing.

Of course, this person is definitely only Chu Tingyun.

He casually picked up a few water chestnuts from the basket, weighed them in the palm of his hand and placed them on the chopping board, and picked out a kitchen knife that was handy, as if he was going to cut the vegetables and cook himself.

Ye Huaiyun looked at his movements, slightly surprised, "You know how to cook?"

Chu Tingyun held the kitchen knife and thought about how to cut it for a long time, and then said truthfully: "No."

But probably because he is used to using big knives and long swords, it is not too unfamiliar to use a kitchen knife suddenly. He peeled the water chestnuts in two or three times, but... the original oval shape was ugly and deformed with edges and corners.

Chu Tingyun: "Eat?"

Ye Huaiyun naturally wouldn't brush his face off, so she pursed her lips and took a sip.

If you don't look at the appearance, the taste is actually okay...

Chu Tingyun looked at Ye Huaiyun with great interest, and suddenly there was a smile on his lips, "Did I say that you are cute with a troubled face."

"..." Ye Huaiyun choked suddenly at these words.

Chu Tingyun wanted to pinch his face more and more, and he did so, and the hand felt quite soft.

Ye Huaiyun was a little speechless, she pulled off his hand silently, but because she raised her eyes to meet those crooked eyebrows, she couldn't help laughing.

With four eyes facing each other, Chu Tingyun's eyes fell on his lips unconsciously. The rouge lips seemed to be softer than his cheeks, and he gradually leaned closer, but he was about to erase them...

"Squeak-"

The boy pushed open the door at this moment, followed by a cook, so startled that Ye Huaiyun immediately backed away in astonishment.

"What are you panicking about?" Chu Tingyun laughed at him.

Ye Huaiyun turned his head somewhat unnaturally.

Although he came to the back kitchen for the reason of eating a meal, Jia Zhuoji would naturally find a cook, and it was impossible for them to steam, stir-fry, stew and stew by themselves.It's just that the two of them were distracted by each other just now, and only then did they recall the purpose of their trip to Tianguanfang.

The cook who came in was tall and strong, but her hands and feet were nimble. She quickly cleaned the fruits and vegetables in the basket. It looked like she was doing routine things, but she said that people usually called her Aunt Zhang.

"What do you two want to eat?" Aunt Zhang asked.

"Anything is fine." Chu Tingyun is not picky at all.

Aunt Zhang threw a handful of firewood into the stove, and after a while, a basket of freshly steamed Sophora japonica cakes came out of the oven. The scent of flowers was accompanied by the fragrance of honey. Ye Huaiyun took a piece of food and asked, "Auntie How long has Tianguanfang been?"

Aunt Zhang wiped her hands on her apron, "It's been more than two years."

After enough time, Ye Huaiyun continued: "May I take the liberty to ask my aunt a few questions?"

Compared with Chu Tingyun, who even raised the corners of his lips and had a fearful and sinister aura between his brows, Ye Huaiyun's appearance was gentle and gentle, with delicate features and polite speech, which naturally appealed to women of all ages.Aunt Zhang happily agreed, she would definitely not refuse his request.

Ye Huaiyun stopped playing around, and asked straightforwardly, "Does Auntie know a girl named Pan Xiuxiu?"

"Xiuxiu—" Aunt Zhang obviously recognized her, and asked worriedly, "Is her illness better?"

Get ill?

Ye Huaiyun pondered secretly in his heart, and weaved: "The doctor said the situation is not very good."

"It's a pity—" Aunt Zhang sighed, "What a beautiful girl, why did she have mental problems..."

"Although the situation is bad, it's not completely incurable. It's just that it's better to know the cause of the disease to prescribe the right medicine." Ye Huaiyun continued to make up nonsense: "So the two of us came here to ask my aunt, what is the reason for Miss Pan's illness? ?”

Aunt Zhang confessed without hesitation.

According to her, at first Pan Han owed too many gambling debts in the gambling shop, so he sold his daughter in a frenzy to pay off the debts.

It's just that within a few weeks after Pan Xiuxiu came to Tianguanfang, the originally optimistic girl suddenly became dazed.Every day when she enters the kitchen, she doesn’t dare to cut the vegetables or kill the fish. She just sits in the yard at night and refuses to go back to her room to sleep. Once someone asks her what’s going on, she just keeps saying, “Too bad.” Terrible..."

What was even more frightening was that once the girl was alone, she would start screaming for no reason, and Aunt Zhang didn't know the other specific reasons.

Ye Huaiyun asked: "What happened next?"

Aunt Zhang said: "Later, her spirit became more and more abnormal, and she told the boss that it was caused by evil beings living in her body. She was afraid of infecting the big guys, so she sent her outside for treatment."

Chu Tingyun ate the Sophora japonica cake while listening, and soon there was less than half of the snacks left in the cage.He was sitting on a chair, seeming to be interested and careless, but there was a hint of sharpness at the end of his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Ye Huaiyun knew that this person already had an idea, so he said, "Auntie, can you take us to Miss Pan's previous room?"

"This...I'm afraid it won't work." Aunt Zhang replied hesitantly, and then turned on the stove a little more, and began to prepare other pastries, "Since Xiuxiu got sick, the boss has sealed the room, saying that there are people in it. Unclean things will attach to people."

Aunt Zhang's voice became softer, and she kindly reminded the two of them: "Young Master, it's better not to go, be careful not to get involved with evil spirits."

Ye Huaiyun didn't force it either, she just smiled and said, "It's enough for Auntie to point me in the right direction. We'll just take a look from a distance and make sure we don't go in."

Aunt Zhang was also worried about Pan Xiuxiu's condition in her heart, so she stood by the window and pointed to them.But I never forget to tell you inside and out, don't get too close, if you attract evil spirits, it's not a good thing.

As soon as he left the kitchen, Chu Tingyun asked, "Do you believe in ghosts and gods in this world?"

"Respect, I don't believe it." Ye Huaiyun replied calmly, and then asked, "What about you?"

"Heh." Chu Tingyun wrote sarcasm coldly on his face as if he heard a big joke.

Unclean things?Even if it was a ghost, how could it be more unclean than this gambling house?

The two walked a few more steps in the direction Aunt Zhang pointed, but they were immediately stopped by the guard who was stationed nearby, and they refused to let them go any further.

Ye Huaiyun and the two became more and more convinced that someone was playing tricks, and the reason for sealing off the room was to cover up something shady.

"Why don't we come to visit again at night?" Ye Huaiyun suggested.

"Yeah." Chu Tingyun also had the same intention, and said, "Now go and try that boss Xiang first."

"Uncle Xiang?" Jia Zhuoji happened to be walking towards him and heard the last three words he said.

"Why did Young Master Jia come down?" Ye Huaiyun asked casually.

Jia Zhuoji said: "Seeing that you haven't come up for a long time, I thought it was because the servants didn't entertain you well, so I came here to see you. Did you just talk about Uncle?"

Ye Huaiyun tried not to show suspicion on his face, "Well, is Boss Xiang in the workshop?"

Jia Zhuoji shook his head, "Uncle Xiang only comes here at night, if you have something to say to me, it's the same."

"Then forgive me." Ye Huaiyun said: "The two of us want to beg the cook who just made dim sum."

"Hey, what's so difficult about this." Jia Zhuoji waved his hand generously, "It's just a servant."

As soon as he finished speaking, two servants behind him packed Aunt Zhang and her luggage and sent them to the inn where Chu Tingyun and Ye Huaiyun lived in name. It couldn't be happier.

Back at Li's house, Chu Tingyun asked, "Why did you ask Aunt Zhang to come over?"

Ye Huaiyun smiled, and looked at Chu Tingyun who was still holding two pieces of Sophora japonica cakes from the kitchen, which was self-evident.

"Cough—" Chu Tingyun was about to speak, but hiccupped first.

Ye Huaiyun couldn't help laughing, reaching out and wiping the crumbs off his face with his thumb.

In summer, there is no cloud, the blue sky is clear, and the bright light pours down the sky, covering the face of the person who is so close that he can feel his breath, with a layer of gold, which is really beautiful.

Jiang Linxu approached with his head raised and his waist stretched, moved his eyes that had just opened, and began to back away step by step.

"Come here!" Chu Tingyun caught a glimpse of someone from the corner of his eye and shouted sharply.

"I didn't see anything!" Jiang Linxu's eyes were sincere, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "Go on, go on!"

Chu Tingyun grabbed his collar and brought him to him.

Jiang Linxu frowned, he obviously didn't do anything!God is sorry to see, it really wasn't that he wanted to bump into the two people who were affectionate on purpose, it's just that it was a very unfortunate coincidence.

Ye Huaiyun smiled and took Chu Tingyun's hand, "Lin Xu is innocent by nature, so don't make things difficult for him."

Taking advantage of the moment when Chu Tingyun let go of his collar, Jiang Linxu turned around and ran, slipping very fast, and finally did not forget to cast a grateful glance at Ye Huaiyun through the crack of the door, it really is better to be a sister-in-law!

"...Innocent?" Chu Tingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a flirtatious smile on his face, "Which one do you like?"

Ye Huaiyun didn't think much about it and said, "It's just a little envious."

"Then why don't I show you how innocent I am?" Chu Tingyun seemed to be jealous, and quickly grabbed his shoulder and bit his earlobe lightly.

Breathing out lightly across the side of his neck like a butterfly feather, Ye Huaiyun's body froze suddenly.

There seemed to be restlessness growing in the bottom of her heart, and she took the initiative to kiss the side of his face.
