Chapter 163: The Fall(1/2)
Chu Xinyu knew what was going on, Lin Chenyao must have come.
She did not rush into the study and served herself a bowl of soup, six dishes, one soup, three meats and three vegetables, but she usually didn't eat much at night, so the dishes served were very delicate, just enough for a person's portion.
But thinking that Lin Chenyao came so early, he didn't know if he had had dinner. After drinking two sips of soup, he put down the bowl and walked towards the study. He saw him standing at the desk, looking at the portrait she had just drawn.
Chu Xinyu said, "Do you want to have a meal?"
Lin Chenyao looked up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bright, as if the stars were dazzling, "Do you invite me to eat together?"
Chu Xinyu ignored his words and said to himself: "If you want to come, I will ask someone to cook two more dishes." After speaking, she turned around and went back to have a meal.
Lin Chenyao put down his painting and followed her.
Chu Xinyu gave him a bowl of soup, then walked out and asked Lan Yi to ask the kitchen to cook two more dishes. She thought about it again and said the names of the dishes, the portion should be higher, and then the two bowls of rice were served.
Lan Yi understood that the Marquis of Peking was having meals in the girl's room. She didn't ask much, and Zi Ling happened to come over and told her to go to the kitchen and continue to guard the door.
"The dishes are quite rich." Lin Chenyao picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. It was the three-fresh mushroom soup. The soup was very thick and fresh and sweet. He thought it was good and he quickly finished the soup.
In fact, the bowl was a little small, so he drank it all in three or four mouthfuls, so he handed the bowl to Chu Xinyu and asked her to serve him another bowl.
Chu Xinyu did not prepare Lin Chenyao's portion, so she only had two bowls of soup. She originally planned to drink a bowl of soup before the meal and another bowl after the meal. Now that the soup after the meal has been given to him, there is naturally no third bowl.
"there is none left."
"Make more next time, this soup is good."
When Chu Xinyu heard this, he looked up at him, meaning that he would come to have dinner next time?
"Super the rice." Lin Chenyao pushed the bowl to her.
Chu Xinyu pushed the porcelain utensils containing the rice and the spoon to him, "Prepare it yourself."
"But I am a guest."
"..." Chu Xinyu was speechless and had to fill a bowl for him and then serve him half a bowl.
Lin Chenyao frowned, "You eat so little?" No wonder she is so thin.
Chu Xinyu said: "Don't eat too much at night."
Lin Chenyao didn't say anything, picked up the vegetables and put them into her bowl.
Chu Xinyu held up the chopsticks, hesitated a little, and finally exchanged respects and picked up a piece of green pepper for him.
She likes the dishes cooked in the kitchen, but she knows that Lin Chenyao doesn't like what dishes to eat. Green pepper is what he hates the most before. She just wants to try it out if he will eat the dishes she picks up for him to hate.
Lin Chenyao indeed frowned and glanced at her. Did this girl deliberately or unintentionally? When she saw her lips slightly raised, she was sure that she had a lot of ingredients on purpose.
But how did she know that he hates eating green peppers?
"Have you checked what I dislike the most?"
Chu Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile in his eyes, but his face was full of confusion and looked at Lin Chenyao, pretending to be stupid: "Don't you like eating green peppers?"
"..." Lin Chenyao didn't say anything.
Chu Xinyu is not stupid, how could he not hear what he asked just now? His taste has not changed. He doesn’t like to eat, and he can’t change it no matter what. She has said before that you can’t pick on what you eat, and the nutrition must be balanced. She likes to eat green peppers because green peppers have the effect of appetizing and digesting food.
When she was a child, she liked to tease him. What he hated the most was so he picked it up for him to eat.
Chu Xinyu smiled and said, "I like these dishes. I will pick up the dishes I like for you. If you don't like them, then give them to me."
As she said that, she took the chopsticks and was about to pick up the green peppers into his bowl. Lin Chenyao moved it gently and blocked her chopsticks.
Chu Xinyu smiled secretly.
Lin Chenyao lowered his head and stared at the green peppers in the bowl, and his brows gradually frowned.
She liked these dishes. It turned out that she also liked to eat green peppers. I remember that my sister also liked to eat green peppers. At that time, she forced herself to eat green peppers. She said that eating green peppers is good for the health, but at that time, he knew that he couldn't eat it, but he still ate it, but he had to go to the toilet.
Alas, forget it, these dishes were not prepared for him.
Lin Chenyao glanced at the table again and found that at least three dishes were suitable for his taste.
Chu Xinyu was in a great mood. She picked up a vegetable, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it gently, and then looked at Lin Chenyao, and the clear eyes were just like that: I'm so kind to you, give you what I like to eat, don't give me face.
Seeing that he was still struggling with whether to eat it, Chu Xinyu couldn't hold it anymore, so he said, "As for you, what I'm holding for you is not arsenic."
In fact, when she forced him to eat green peppers, she would also have a grudge, but he would not be tangled for too long. Even after eating, he would go to the toilet. Why is he like this now? Is it because the person who was feeding him was not Fu Yinghua?
Chu Xinyu said this just to tease him, but Lin Chenyao's answer almost made her swear.
"Arsenic is better than this one." Lin Chenyao replied.
Chu Xinyu glanced at him sideways, "Okay, I'll go and ask the kitchen to copy you a plate of arsenic, and it's okay to cook it, stew it and stir-fry it."
As she said that, she stood up.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chenyao's answer made Chu Xinyu cry again, "The arsenic in the Hou Zhongyi's mansion is salt."
Lan Yi, who was guarding outside the door, didn't listen carefully, but the sound insulation here was not very good, and her listening was good. She listened to the conversation inside, and she almost dislocated her shoulders after laughing.
Lin Chenyao means that it is OK to cook, stew and stir-fry, and it is OK to add more salt, which is better than green peppers.
It seems that he is so disgusted with eating green peppers!
But, girl, you will live with the Hou of Peking in the future. You bully him now. What if he holds a grudge and wait until you get married and he bullies him back?
At this time, the kitchen had already prepared the dishes, Zi Ling brought them on a tray, Lan Yi took them over, asked her to guard the door and bring them in by herself.
Zi Ling didn't know what was going on inside. The girl usually had no appetite and didn't like to waste it, but she had to cook two more dishes tonight and add two bowls of rice. Although she was curious, she did not explore it and stood at the door seriously.
Lan Yi put the vegetables on the table and took a special look at Lin Chenyao's bowl. She saw that the green pepper was still there, but half of the rice had been eaten, and there were much less dishes on the table.
When Lin Chenyao saw the newly served dish, it was the fried fried he liked, he couldn't help but look at Chu Xinyu. This girl really pretended to be stupid to him and said she hadn't checked his preferences?
If not, how could she have grasped his preferences so clearly?
Seeing that Lin Chenyao's bowl was empty, Lan Yi served him a bowl of rice before leaving and closed the door again.
Seeing that there were dishes she liked, Lin Chenyao stopped asking her how she knew her preferences. Since she had checked herself, she cared about herself. She was a girl and had a thinner face, so she would not expose her.
Thinking of this, his appetite grew louder, and soon he made another bowl of rice.
After eating a few bites, I remembered that when I came in, I saw the portrait on her desk in the study, and asked, "What's going on the portrait on your desk?" Why did she draw so many portraits, especially the one wearing a mask, which was clearly what she mentioned.
Chu Xinyu looked at him, bit his chopsticks lightly and said, "I have found Wanfang."
Lin Chenyao's hand was picking up the food, "Where did you find it?"
"As long as I guess, she has become a good person."
"How did you find her?" Lin Chenyao looked up at Chu Xinyu. The people he sent were also looking for, and he had already looked at him. He didn't expect that she would find someone faster than him.
"It's not me, it's my maid who has seen her portrait, so I remember it in my heart. She happened to meet her when she happened to meet her and thought she was kind-hearted, so she came back to tell me, and I've gone to find her."
Lin Chenyao frowned with his sword, "Are you looking for her?"
"I just want to confirm whether it was her, and then tell you that when I come back, I will either have someone to send you a message or tell you these things."
Chu Xinyu knew that he would be unhappy when he went to find Sister Yao first. After all, in his opinion, the only person who had seen Hu Tianba was Wanfang. If she asked her, she would know how Hu Tianba looked. If she was afraid of causing trouble, Wanfang would run away or leak news and was found to be silenced by those people.
But as soon as she finished speaking, someone knocked outside the window three times, and then the figure swayed gently, as if someone jumped into the window.
"Mr. Marquis!"
It was Lin Chenyao's secret guard Gui Ye. When he saw Lin Chenyao and Chu Xinyu sitting opposite each other for meals, he nodded slightly to Chu Xinyu, and then said to Lin Chenyao: "Mr. Marquis, there is something happening there."
"Tell me." Lin Chenyao knew what Gui Ye was coming to find him, so he did not avoid Chu Xinyu.
"Wanfang has found it."
So fast! It's only one day.
Chu Xinyu secretly admired Lin Chenyao's power. If Lan Yi hadn't had good luck, she would have met Sister Yao who was delivering vegetables in Zuixianglou, and she would have to find someone for a while.
"But..." Gui Ye didn't seem to finish speaking, and he said, "Chenguang said that there were also a group of people looking for her in secret, and it seemed that they were heading to Baisha Village. I will inform you first that Chenguang and Liuying have rushed over."
"Your person?" Lin Chenyao looked at Chu Xinyu and asked.
Chu Xinyu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, my people have already retreated." After she found Wanfang, she had already ordered Ouyang to withdraw the people.
After saying that, Lin Chenyao heard him say, "Let's go!"
Gui Ye walked towards the study room, Lin Chenyao took two steps, looked back at Chu Xinyu and said, "I'll go and see, you..."
Chu Xinyu said, "You must bring her back safely."
Lin Chenyao didn't say anything, walked towards the study, jumped out of the window.
Chu Xinyu heard from Gui Ye's words that in addition to her and Lin Chenyao's people, there was someone looking for Wanfang. Who was it? Fu Guanzhang or Xu Zhilan's people?
It would be fine if it was the former, but if it was the latter, I am afraid that Sister Yao is in trouble now.
What to do?
At this moment, Lan Yi opened the door and came in, "Girl!" She heard the sound inside outside the door. Someone came in and someone went out, and there was no sound after that.
Seeing Lan Yi, Chu Xinyu signaled her to close the door.
Lan Yi closed the door and asked her: "Is something wrong?"
Chu Xinyu nodded: "Sister Yao may have been found by those people. I am worried that something will happen to her, I..."
To be continued...
