The sky is already dark, and there is no moon tonight, but the sky is full of stars, and the rivers and rivers are clearly distinguished, cloaking the entire Tanghe County in a magnificent luster.
The pearl stars were bright, and they could naturally see each other's expressions. The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Yuan Cixian said first: "Shilar Lu."
Lu Shiqing coughed lightly and said "Yes".
"Are you here to look for me?" she continued.
He stumbled slightly, and the word "yes" slipped before his mouth, and then said, "I can't sleep, go out for a walk."
He just took it seriously and rushed out as soon as he felt hot. In fact, he had not thought of a suitable statement. In addition, Yuan Cixian appeared suddenly, so he wanted to use "walk" as an excuse to slow down.
After Lu Shiqing answered, he asked again: "What are you?"
Yuan Cixian curled her lips, hummed quietly, looked at the tip of her shoes and said, "I can't sleep, so go out for a walk."
He said "Oh" and said, "Then let's go." After that, he turned around and went out.
Yuan Cixian was stunned for a few minutes, realizing that this seemed to be inviting her to take a walk, so she raised her heel. He seemed to deliberately reduce his steps, so she quickly leveled with him.
The two of them were speechless until they crossed the entire yard, but suddenly they said in unison: "I..."
Lu Shiqing stopped and turned his head to look at her, probably asking her to say it first.
Yuan Cixian turned to face him, hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I'm actually here to apologize to you."
Lu Shiqing was stunned by her words: "Why are you apologizing?"
"I just heard from the servants in the yard that I realized today was your birthday. If I had known it, I would not be angry with you. Anyway, the birthday star is the biggest, and you can be forgiven for anything you do on the birthday."
Her tone was so depressed that she didn't sound so happy, as if she was reluctant to accommodate him.
Lu Shiqing was a little amused and laughed: "You can be forgiven for doing anything?"
Yuan Cixian nodded, looked at the sky and added: "It's okay before dawn. After dawn, I may be angry with you again."
She kept her head down when she spoke, leaving only one for him to look at her. Lu Shiqing lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly: "You don't have to be angry at dawn. What Magistrate Zhu said was nothing."
Yuan Cixian raised her head in a slight surprise. She did remember that he denied it in the afternoon, but she didn't believe it. After all, how could County Magistrate Zhu speak nonsense in front of the imperial envoy?
"How dare he lie to me? I've eaten the courage of Bear Heart and Leopard?"
Lu Shiqing couldn't explain and shirked the blame: "How could I know why he suddenly became crazy? You just need to know that I didn't agree to that kind of thing."
Yuan Cixian showed suspicion: "I don't believe it." After saying that, he added, "Unless you make a poisonous oath."
He choked: "What a poisonous oath?"
"If you are lying to me now, you will be covered in dog hair before dawn."
It was so poisonous. He was angry and laughed at the moment, but he still swears as she said word by word.
Yuan Cixian could only barely believe it, and clapped her hands in a good mood and said, "Okay, I believe you for the time being."
Lu Shiqing glanced at her. He was about to ask her to go back to her room to rest, but suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound. His eyes moved and he moved down to the place where the sound came from - her belly.
Yuan Cixian hugged her belly awkwardly before the sound of "gu" fell and the "rubbing" sound was still there. Unexpectedly, he noticed it, so he had to smile embarrassedly: "Mr. Lu, I didn't have enough food for dinner. I originally depended on you to hold on in one breath, but now I forgive you and my stomach will be empty all of a sudden."
Lu Shiqing was both angry and funny: "I think you ate a lot of dinner, so I'm afraid it's me who didn't get the chopsticks very much?"
Yes. She nodded: "Then aren't you hungry?"
He said affirmatively: "Don't be hungry." As soon as he finished speaking, the silent night was broken again by a "gurgling" sound.
Lu Shiqing was stunned. This voice was not made by him, right? It must not be.
Yuan Cixian laughed loudly: "You are such a quarrel!"
He looked at the person who was smiling in front of him, and sighed for a while: "I'll ask someone to bring some food and send it to your yard. You go back and wait."
Yuan Cixian waved his hand and stopped him: "It's late at night, why bother me anymore? Let's do it ourselves and have enough food and clothing."
Lu Shiqing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

After a stick of incense, the two of them sneaked into the kitchen of Zhu's mansion. Yuan Cixian took the lead. Lu Shiqing could not resist her and was forced to the rear of the palace. Going out, Xiao Hei, who was called by his master to look at the wind, squatted at the door of the kitchen.
Yuan Cixian was surprised that the Zhu Mansion was a county magistrate's mansion at least, so how could there be so few servants, especially around the kitchen, there was not even a doorkeeper.
Lu Shiqing understood. It was probably because the magistrate Zhu County wanted him and Yuan Cixian to "go around" the Zhu Mansion tonight without worries, and then he withdrew everyone. So when Yuan Cixian was in the kitchen and was struggling to find food, he made a fuse very simply.
Yuan Cixian was shocked, raised her hand and was about to put out the fire, and lowered her voice: "It will be discovered by people!"
He sideways and avoids: "How about being discovered? How can he report to the officials to arrest you and me?"
Oh, that's right.
Seeing that she was not objecting, Lu Shiqing caught fire and lit up the oil lamp in the room. The lights were brightly lit on all sides, and several baskets of fresh vegetables and kneaded dough were placed on the clean stove. But after being put forth for a long time, it seemed to be a little hard.
Yuan Cixian was stunned and muttered: "Why are there no ready-made food?"
Lu Shiqing knew that this must be the work of County Magistrate Zhu, so he glanced at her: "Who said he wanted to do it yourself just now?"
She frowned: "I said it was right, but I thought it would be enough to serve a few plates. I can't cook." After she said that, she looked at Lu Shiqing with a little expectation, "Maybe you can?"
Of course, what answered her was an eye knife.
He is a man who has a cleanliness obsessed with it and must have disliked the kitchen where smoke is soaring. Yuan Cixian understood this, but she was not eating, so she was about to starve to death.
Seeing that she was so hungry that her face looked like a dish, Lu Shiqing sighed and said, "Let's call someone." After that, he turned around and left.
When Yuan Cixian heard this, she stopped obeying her. She grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't, I'll try it, what if I have a unique talent?"
What if she was gifted and made a bowl of noodles that was delicious and unforgettable, she grabbed Lu Shiqing's belly and told him that she could never give up her again? What's more, today is his birthday, and it would be a good opportunity to put the bowl of noodles in it.
Thinking of this, Yuan Cixian's heart was already blooming. She rolled up her sleeves and tiring up her hands with enthusiasm.
Seeing that she seemed to be trying to beat someone, Lu Shiqing didn't agree, but was curious about what she could do, so he stood aside without stopping it until he saw her taking a knife and slashing it on the dough with one knife.
With a "bang", the hard dough was chopped in half.
"..." Although this was the first time Lu Shiqing entered the kitchen, he knew that the dating was definitely not like this, otherwise why wouldn't it be called chopping the dating?
He recalled the last time he observed the dim sum shop's shop making buns in West City, Chang'an, and then couldn't bear to see it and said, "I'll do it, you go and cut vegetables."
She has such a strong knife skills, so she can cut vegetables.
Yuan Cixian also felt that it seemed inappropriate to do this. She pondered for a while and said embarrassedly: "Then I'll trouble you."
After Lu Shiqing finished cleaning his hands, he went to knead the face and sighed. How many lifetimes have he been in trouble before he met Yuan Cixian? Now he has to even get through the work of his servants.
Yuan Cixian was cleaning amaranth while looking at him and praised his technique: "Mr. Lu, you have a great honor to be kneaded like this by you!"
I don’t know what important thoughts her words had, but Lu Shiqing paused and suddenly thoughts started to come.
He remembered that in that absurd dream, he had rubbed something like this.
He stared at the snow-white dough under his hands, suppressing it quickly - there was a trace of strangeness in his body, and continued to be silent.
Yuan Cixian barely cut the vegetables. Except for the knife that swung it a little harder and almost split the chopping board, there was no accident. She just turned her head and took a look after it after finishing her work, but was startled by the noodles as thick as a little finger in Lu Shiqing's hand.
She seems to have never eaten such noodles.
But she was embarrassed to be picky and praised against her will: "Mr. Lu, you are so amazing. This job is really exquisite."
Lu Shiqing couldn't hear what she was thinking. He glanced at her, but didn't want to be modest. After all, it was not easy for him to find out like this for the first time, so he said, "Okay, you go down there."
She nodded with encouragement, and when she put the ingredients and noodles one by one, she picked up the spatula, she was stunned.
She frowned and thought, and couldn't help asking, "Did we do something less?"
After washing his hands, Lu Shiqing looked back, and moved his eyes to the stove hole full of firewood, and said tiredly: "I forgot to make a fire."
He had no choice but to pounce back on the stove hole.
Soon, the fireworks filled the kitchen. Lu Shiqing sat on the little mat to burn firewood while asking Yuan Cixian, "Is the fire enough?"
Yuan Cixian didn't know the right way. Seeing that the pot of water had not boiled for a long time, he kept saying, "Isn't it enough? Keep adding it!"
Lu Shiqing threw firewood into bundles and when she said "enough", his handsome face was already smoked and embarrassed, and he was so embarrassed that he could not tell his face.
When Yuan Cixian saw it, she laughed so hard that her branches trembled. She almost shook her hands and sprinkled a shovel of salt into the pot, which made Lu Shiqing so angry that she fell into the water to wipe her face.
Although the process was a little messy, when the clear soup of amaranth noodles were out of the pot, the two of them actually had some hope. They smoked a pair of chopsticks, stood in front of the stove, held a porcelain bowl, looked at each other face to face, as if they were waiting for each other to try first.
After wandering for a while, Yuan Cixian said, "Why don't I count three times and let's use chopsticks together?"
It’s just a few noodles, but it’s not poisonous, so why bother doing this? Lu Shiqing frowned: “No need, I’ll eat it first.” After he finished speaking, he picked up a few thick noodles and stuffed them into his mouth.
Yuan Cixian stared at his face for a moment, a little scared and expectant, but saw that his expression was consistent and there was no change at all.
She asked nervously: "How is it?"
Lu Shiqing swallowed the noodles slowly and said calmly: "It's pretty good, you'll know after eating it."
Yuan Cixian was delighted and quickly put down the chopsticks. As soon as he stuffed a piece of noodles into his mouth, his face froze.
Too, too salty! Her mother!
Lu Shiqing looked at her with a smile, pretending to be a question.
She looked at him and had to continue trying to chew.
To be continued...
