Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Chapter 217 Hot Pot Night Chapter

Xun Yu went to the next hall to take a bath and change clothes, and Lu Bu sat down next to Yan Qing silently, watching him write letters to those counselors to report Xun Yu's safety.

In order to appease Jia Xu, who was very likely to be angry at the extra [-]% food and grass burden, Yan Qing deliberately added a few health-preserving prescriptions that he had recently sent to collect in the letter to him.

——I hope Jia Xu can be satisfied.

Of course, Yan Qing also planned to continue to use Xu County as a test site, and try to build some bathhouses in the city, so that the common people can keep their bodies clean in winter and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

While Yan Qing was writing quickly, Lu Bu glanced at the cauldron in front of him, seeing that the fire was burning and the soup had already boiled. He felt a little bored and didn't want to disturb Yan Qing's busy work, so he simply used a bowl of sliced ​​meat The small dagger cut again and threw it in casually.

Seeing slices of meat as thin as cicada's wings rolling in the white soup, it took a while before he thought of taking it out, but he forgot to turn off the flame.

Just at this moment, Yan Qing raised her head after making the last stroke, and said with a smile: "I really forgot that there is such a treasure in winter, thanks to you for tossing it out."

In the cold weather, it is the most suitable for boiling hot pot.

Although it is said that some people did this in the Warring States Period, it was not until the Song Dynasty that it became popular.

——How is this different from making soup on weekdays?

Lu Bu was puzzled, but unexpectedly got Yan Qing's praise, he didn't want to lose it no matter what, so he nodded as if nothing had happened, dipped the still hot sliced ​​meat into the dipping sauce, and put it in a small plate.

After making a tall stack, carefully put it in front of Yan Qing.

As for himself, he only bought a few yuan perfunctorily, and then scooped up a big bowl of thick porridge to fill his stomach.

Yan Qing thought that he prepared it for himself, but he didn't want to put it in front of him in the end, and couldn't help laughing: "How can I use up so much? And you only have so much, how can it be enough? Exchange yours with me. Change it."

He wanted to decline, but Yan Qing refused to let it go, and forced him to change it; he later realized that he wanted to extinguish the firewood, so as not to overcook the soup, but Yan Qing still refused to let him go.

Lu Bu was puzzled, so Yan Qing smiled and said: "Let it continue to cook, and then someone will prepare some chopped ingredients and eat them as they are hot. When the text comes out, it will still be hot."

It was only then that Lu Bu figured out the difference between the two. If he was not careful, he pretended not to be ignorant, showing a bit of "so it is" on his face, which made Yan Qing laugh.

——Ms. Lu from his family is so cute.

With a thought in mind, Yan Qing glanced at the hall where there was still the faint sound of dripping water, and after confirming that Xun Yu would not be able to come out for a while, she stood up, bent down immediately, and was able to make a comfortable gesture of gently prodding with a finger. I noticed the movement of Lu Bu's jaw.

With the experience from last time, Lu Bu immediately suppressed his surprise, raised his chin very obediently, raised the corners of his mouth, and accepted a sweet gift with a fluttering heart.

Fragrant hot pot, fragrant kiss.

The only thing that made Yan Qing a little annoyed was that just as he was about to repeat his tricks and retreat as gracefully as last time, the greedy Mrs. Lu made a counterattack and pressed the back of his head passionately. If you let him go, you will be defeated in the end, and you can only get what you want.

Although Lv Bu was eager, he was fed recently, and he could tell the situation clearly, when he felt a little reaction, he immediately let go of Yan Qing.

Yan Qing coughed lightly, and in order to hide her slight embarrassment, she unceremoniously gave Lu Bu a big bowl of vegetables that Lu Bu usually hated the most.

Lu Bu: "..."

Xun Yu's gaffe was only for a brief moment when he was most emotional just now. After Yan Qingkuan caressed him, he also rectified his chaotic mood, and completely restored his previous calmness, self-control, elegance and composure.

After he came out from the hall, there was a strong aroma of food coming to his nostrils, and he saw a big pot of boiling soup, with plates of raw meat and vegetables on the side, and a small pot of river prawns. But Yan Qing and Lu Bu were sitting together happily, and couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment.

Without Yan Qing's explanation, Xun Yu knew what it was: "Antique Soup?"

"Is it the most suitable for this cold weather?" Yan Qing smiled and gestured: "I didn't wait for you specially, just come and sit. In this way, thanks to Feng Xian's carefulness, he sent someone to the market to ask, Only then did I know that in this cold weather when the river is frozen, there are still people digging through the ice and catching some river prawns, which is really rare."

Xun Yu took a seat from the other side of him in a good manner, and said with a smile: "Although this thing is good, it is too angry, so it is not suitable to eat too much."

When he said this, Xun Yu turned his head slightly, and his pointed eyes quickly glanced at Yan Qing's slightly swollen lips.

Yan Qing's face remained motionless, but the roots of his ears covered by black hair were burning, and he said nonchalantly, "What Wen Ruo said is very true. It's quite interesting to do it once in a while."

After being gouged out by Yan Qing indiscriminately, Lu Bu shrank his shoulders and became more honest.

He drooped his head, as if concentrating on chewing a large bowl of vegetables that Yan Qing forcibly gave him, but kept his ears up, listening to the conversation between Yan Qing and Xun Yu.

Because the servants were screened out before, there were only three of them in the hall, so Yan Qing joked without hesitation: "After all, they are all jade trees of the Xun family, just now Wenruo looks just like Gongda's. .”

He wasn't in a hurry to talk about business, but he showed a relaxed posture. He was very interested in talking about some interesting things in life, and mentioned his eldest nephew, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Xun Yu also smiled, and followed along: "I hope to hear more about it."

Recalling Xun You's expressionless face and tears pattering down, Yan Qing still had some lingering fears: "One or two times, your eldest nephew looked at his expression unchanged, but the next moment tears flowed down his face. Three thousand feet, so scary."

Xun Yu nodded slightly, and said gently: "Gongda has been like this since he was a child, and as he gets older, he has only learned to restrain his expression on his face, but his heart is still full of turmoil."

Yan Qing said helplessly: "What are you laughing at? I finally sent him to Youzhou as the governor, and thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. I don't want you to almost imitate him just now, and scare me again."

Xun Yu has been confined in a building in East County for nearly a year. Although he took a lot of effort to get in touch with his loyalists and subordinates in order to plan this escape, he still has no idea about the overall situation. Mastery is still very limited.

If Yan Qing's whereabouts were not a secret, and the marching speed was very slow, if he was given enough time to catch up with the rendezvous, after Xun Yu successfully escaped, he might have avoided the most heavily searched and fiercely fought western front line. Choose to go south.

Hearing Yan Qing's understatement about the fact that Xun You had been arranged as an official in Youzhou, and the reason behind it, Xun Yu instantly understood.

He was silent, curled his lips, and said happily: "It is indeed the subject's fault that the lord was surprised. Now I punish myself with three cups, and I ask the lord to be magnanimous. Don't argue with Yu."

Yan Qingqing said quickly: "Okay, I will spare you. But after today, I will ask the ovary to give me a favor in a certain position next to me."

"I can't ask for it."

Xun Yu smiled, bowed his hands to Yan Qing, and happily drank the fine wine in the cup.

At the same time, he swallowed it silently, and what he will remember from now on is the unspeakable temptations when he was taken captive by His Majesty, and the guilt of losing Yanzhou by mistakenly trusting Chen Qun this time.

Lu Bu kept his eyes on the two of them quietly without saying a word, and always felt that although the conversation was simple, it seemed to be a game of wit.

What else, he couldn't see it.

Lu Bu took a sip of his drink, touched his chin, looked at Xun Yu who peeled more than a dozen river prawns for Yan Qing in a very natural way, and then slowly started to move his chopsticks, and fell into deep thought.

For some reason, compared to Xun You, who always has a dull face, often clings to that fox Guo, and can stay in the tent without going out, he has a vague premonition, which he rarely dealt with in the past. Xun Yu, I'm afraid it's even more powerful and tricky...

The bad premonition really came true.

Whether it was to communicate feelings, or to ask about the specific situation in Yanzhou, in the following nights, Yan Qing put Lu Bu aside with a little apology, and then shared the bed with Xun Yu logically, and fell asleep on his feet.

As for Lu Bu, who was forced to switch from extravagance to frugality, his spirit quickly became listless, and it took him several days to get used to it.

However, only Yan Qing, who was closest to him, knew him best, and cared about him the most, noticed his palpable loss. The rest of the people seemed to accept Dian Wei's nonsense explanation. Take it easy.

——No one wants to be the second pancake general.

In addition to the sensational news of Xun Yu's voluntary return, Neihuang County, which was once known as the place where Xiang Bawang "destroyed the boat", was also bustling, and rumors spread. Even less conspicuous.

Yan Qing gave Lu Bu some sweets in private, and after comforting him, he also felt that it was much more convenient to have a mastermind like Xun Yu around him.

It will take seven or eight days for Guo Jia to return, and Xun Yu's arrival will fill in the blank period that no one can discuss with him.

After all, no matter how willing he was to admit that Lu Bu had made progress, no matter how studious he was, he was still limited by his talent.

He gave some guidance to Lv Bu, who occasionally had a flash of inspiration, to make the plan more feasible, but there may be more than a natural barrier between Lv Bu who is smart enough to grasp the overall situation and even give him advice and suggestions.

Besides, Xun Yu's work ability is extremely outstanding, and he still has a little bit of sympathy with him, knowing which small things can be handled by himself, and which ones need to be asked by him.

The most important thing is that Xun Yu is undoubtedly the only one among Yan Qing's most trusted conspirators who is used to thinking beyond the scope of responsibility.

Fortunately for Xun You, after completing his duties, he will consciously decide whether to do more according to the situation and his own ability.

But compared with Xun Yu, who automatically and consciously regards himself as a spinning top user, and Guo Jia, who has been in a lazy state all year round and has no interest in ordinary affairs, he can barely roll half a circle without kicking. .

If it was said that when Guo Jia and Xun You were both present, Yan Qing would spend at least four hours a day to deal with official duties, and now with Xun Yu alone, he only had two hours of work left.

When Yan Qing realized that she was about to be spoiled by the industrious Mrs. Xun Mou, who was as diligent as a snail girl, she refrained from enjoying the happiness of being lazy, and promptly took back some of the official documents that Xun Yu took the initiative to share.

He also made an itinerary for Xun Yu, asking him to rest strictly according to the instructions above. Guo Jia's food tonic formula was also temporarily used by him before returning to Yu to meet Zhang Zhongjing.

Xun Yu couldn't laugh or cry at this, and wanted to make an excuse, but Yan Qing forcefully forced him to do so.

Even if Chen Qun and the others respect Xun Yu, apart from depriving him of his freedom, it is impossible to really abuse him in terms of basic necessities of life, but Xun Yu, who is gentle and humble on the outside but strong and resolute on the inside, once he feels depressed, the harm to his body will be severe. But it is hard to measure.

Seeing Xun Yu's pitiful appearance, which is much thinner and paler than a few years ago, and seeing that he doesn't care about it, and treats himself like a hardworking old scalper, acting like overworked, Yan Qing feels a chill in his heart. There was a throbbing pain, as if it was dripping blood.

All these famous officials and generals whom he worked so hard to get into his hands are all the hearts and minds that he loves as eyeballs!
