Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Ninth Dragon Trapped in the Shoal

On the wall of the living room, there is a majestic picture of the scenery outside the Great Wall. On a long table, there are two blue and white porcelain vases with a few scattered wild flowers in them. Several simple Taishi chairs are arranged on both sides. At this time, I was sitting in a row... five handsome young men.

The five handsome young men of different ages, although they changed into rough clothes, could not hide their handsomeness and handsomeness. Mrs. Dongpinghou looked at the one with the most outstanding facial features and the most handsome appearance. Although he was wearing the rough cloth bunts of other people, he couldn't hide his luxury and grace.

Mrs. Dongpinghou thought she had seen a lot of beautiful men, but she couldn't help but glance at the handsome face, and her little heart thumped a few times. Oh dear, there is such a perfect face in the world. He is truly blessed by the gods!

"I'm sorry, everyone!" Mrs. Dongping Hou had a heroic smile on her face, "Usually there are very few male guests in Zhuangzi. The clothes on you are picked from the newly made autumn clothes for the servants. I hope the guests don’t dislike it!”

The brothers of the Chu family got up and said, "Madam is very polite. We rushed to the door to harass, and I hope Madam won't take offense..."

Mrs. Dongpinghou said: "Speaking of which, your father and my eldest brother both led troops under the command of General Chu when they were young. Don't be polite to your own people. By the way, this young man looks a little faceless, I don't know. Which son is he?"

The Chu brothers didn't answer, and cast their displeased eyes on the uninvited guest. Ling Juechen's handsome eyes stayed on Gu Ye's body and called out pitifully, "Ye'er..."

Gu Ye avoided the other party's gaze, with a small face, and said coldly: "I don't recognize him. They are not together!"

When Mrs. Dongping Hou saw that handsome man, all her heart was on the little girl. In her unbelievably beautiful eyes, she showed an aggrieved look, and she was careful with her face. Looking at the little girl's brothers, they looked bad, and they seemed to be wary of this man. Is there anything else she doesn't understand?

The little girl has a beautiful appearance and a straightforward and generous personality. It is reasonable to be admired by someone at a young age. My fair lady, what a gentleman! As for the performance of her brothers, it is also understandable.

How could the baby sister I just found be taken away by the big wild wolf so easily? Thinking back then, when her grandfather asked to marry her, her brothers had tossed him a lot!

"It doesn't matter, meeting is fate! When you enter the door, you are a guest. Young master, let's stay and have a light meal!" Mrs. Dongping Hou smiled, taking into account the little girl's thin face, she did not expose their relationship.

Ling Juechen hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, I am very grateful."

"Ma'am, let's go to the kitchen and have a look?" Gu Ye left the living room for an excuse. Don't think that I can forgive you so easily by sticking to your face. snort!

Mrs. Dongping Hou got up and said: "Several young masters, I will excuse me first. Fei'er, the rain has stopped, you can accompany some young masters around the village."

Ling Juechen also stood up, with a smile on Jun's face: "I just listened to it and said that today I want to make boiled fish, I can't help anything else, the knife work of sliced ​​fish is still good..."

"There is no shortage of chefs with good knife skills in the kitchen!" Gu Ye interrupted him coldly.

Mrs. Dongping Hou smiled and said: "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the kitchen is full of maids and wives. If the son goes, it will affect their performance." Well, such a handsome young man, go to that station, don't let the little one go. The souls of the girls have been hooked away?

Gu Ye left the outer courtyard first, and walked all the way to the kitchen, accompanied by Mrs. Dongping Hou. This village looks small, but the scenery is very unique. A lake of living water surrounded by weeping willows.

There are rocks of different shapes stacked by the lake, flowers and trees are planted among them, and the paths paved with cobblestones meander among them. There is a loft near the lake, with two floors up and down.

From the Chaoshou veranda by the lake, it didn't take long to come to the kitchen in the southwest of Zhuangzi. After asking Mrs. Dongping Hou's taste, Gu Ye chose several spicy dishes such as "Boiled Fish", "Spicy Chicken", "Spicy Rabbit" and "Red Oil Chaoshou". For the eight-year-old Han Mufei, he prepared clear, fresh, crisp and tender "Longjing Shrimp", "Fish Balls in Clear Soup", "Eight Treasures Tofu" and "Braised Lion's Head".

Not to mention the cooks in this village, their craftsmanship is really good, and their comprehension ability is not bad. The dishes made, although not as good as those of Aunt Yan and Qingfenglou, were not satisfactory.

When the meal was about to start, the Duke of Dongping came over. Gu Ye saw Mrs. Dongping Hou warmly greeted her and asked him why he had time to come. Han Mufei also happily circled around Daddy, and there was no estrangement in the family. Gu Ye felt very strange, why did this Mrs. Dongping Hou live in the Hou Mansion, but chose to live in this village?

The Duke of Dongping took his young son to the outer courtyard to accompany the guests. Only Mrs. Dongpinghou and Gu Ye were left to eat in the inner courtyard. As if seeing through the doubts in her heart, Mrs. Dongping Hou said with a smile:

"Looking at my temperament, you also know that I am not suitable for the life of a noble lady. I still live comfortably in this village. The old lady is in charge of the mansion, and there is no shortage of beautiful concubines beside me. Happy to be quiet too!"

Gu Ye understood her feelings subconsciously. The girl from the family of generals grew up with her father and brother in the northwest frontier. After marrying into the family of a prince, she was like a thousand miles of horses galloping across the grassland, trapped in a small world.

Among a group of noble ladies who have nothing to do to enjoy flowers, drink tea, and discuss clothes and jewelry, she has become an outlier and can't fit into that circle... If there is a picky mother-in-law on top, it will be better than that. It hurts to kill her!

Gu Ye moved herself with Mrs. Dongping Hou silently. She guessed that the choice she made would be more decisive, right?

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it now! I'm still Mrs. Dongping Hou, but I just spend all the year in the mansion or the village to 'recuperate'. In this village, I spend my free time fishing, hunting, or growing vegetables by myself. Melons and fruits. Every time I come back with a fruitful harvest and see a bumper harvest of fruits and melons, I will be full of a sense of accomplishment!" Mrs. Dongping Hou smiled.

Looking at the red peppers in the boiled fish, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to grab a piece of fish, which was fresh, tender, and spicy. Mrs. Dongping Hou kept chopsticks and ate several pieces in a row, her mouth was red from the spicy food, and the tip of her nose was dripping with sweat.

"I'm so happy! It's so happy!!" Mrs. Dongping Hou gave a cool breath and wiped the drops of water from her mouth boldly.
