Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

The Xie Mansion is divided into three parts. The largest part in the middle belongs to Xie Yu, the Grand Tutor of the Xie family's eldest son. On the right is Xie Jin, the eunuch of the second house, and on the left is Xie Li, the general of the third house.

Xie Qi lives in the Muxue Courtyard of the second house.

In the Muxue Courtyard, there are several weeping crabapple trees planted by the corners of the wall. They are now in full bloom, with branches full of pink flowers, like young girls swaying in the spring sun.

The young man invited his elder brother and Miss Luo into the courtyard and ordered people to quickly set up the bed and serve the meal.

Xie Qi looked at her elder brother and cousin Luo, both of whom had faces that were so beautiful that they could make both humans and gods angry. The man was noble and the woman was gentle and kind, and they were a perfect match sitting together.

Xie Qi secretly started supporting this couple.

Luo Qin and Xie Yun's mats were close to each other, and she could clearly feel that Mr. Xie's eyes had fallen on her many times.

She didn't think it was because of her charm. Most likely, Xie Yun thought that she had deceived his third brother to get into the clan school, and that she was not a good person, so he didn't like her.

Mr. Xie had a cold personality. Whenever his phoenix eyes looked at her, they were without any emotion, as if he was casually looking at an inanimate object, or examining her with doubt.

Luo Qin decided to speak as little as possible, so as not to make too many mistakes and cause Xie Jun to dislike him even more.

The girl was very reserved. When she knelt, her back was straight, her eyes were not looking to the side, and an unnatural smile was on her face.

Xie Yun glanced at him indifferently, without showing it on his face, but he found it a little funny in his heart.

"Rufang."

"exist."

Before the meal was about to start, Luo Qin called her maid Rufang and said, "Go and get that thing."

"Here."

Rufang walked out quickly.

"What should we take?" Xie Qi asked.

Luo Qin smiled mysteriously, "My third cousin will know about it soon."

"Ah, cousin Luo is still keeping us in suspense! Hahaha, I have to take a good look at what it is later."

After a while, Rufang came in with a wooden box and she respectfully placed the box in the girl's hands.

"Third cousin, this is a snack made by Qin'er herself, please try it."

The bright little girl opened the box in her hand, which was filled with a box of exquisite snacks. The snacks were colorful, and each piece had a different embossing pattern. Some were in the shape of peach blossoms, some were in the shape of lotus flowers, and some were in the shape of peonies... It was obvious that the person who made them was very skillful.

When Xie Qi heard that he could eat the cakes made by his cousin Luo, his eyes lit up slightly, "So it's the cakes made by my cousin Luo. I have to try them, right, brother?"

Xie Yun glanced at the cakes lying quietly in the box and was surprised that this girl was so skillful. A girl from a noble family could make so many things.

Xie Dalang clearly wanted to try it, but he said arrogantly: "It's almost time to eat, what are you going to do with this?"

Luo Qin was made particularly embarrassed by Xie Jun's stiff tone. She pursed her lips and said nothing, her beautiful eyes filled with grievance.

Seeing the beauty's aggrieved and stubborn look, Xie Qi was the first to feel distressed, and said to his elder brother disapprovingly: "Brother, how can you be like this? Cousin Luo also means well!"

If you continue like this, you will be left without a wife!

Xie Qifu turned to Luo Qin and said, "Cousin Luo, this is dessert after dinner, right?"

Luo Qin nodded slightly.

"That's perfect. Let's try it after dinner. It's made by cousin Luo, so it must be delicious." Xie Qi hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Xie Jun was slightly annoyed. He actually didn't want to say it like that. He didn't know why he couldn't bear to see this little girl using pastries to please his third brother. He couldn't control himself for a moment...

It is even more impossible to ask him to swallow his pride and apologize now, as Xie Yun has his own pride.

Xie Yun lowered his head slightly, his eyes drooped, the corners of his mouth were tight, and his hands on his knees tightened and loosened...

This was the first time he felt so conflicted and had such complicated feelings...

After the servants in Xie Qi's yard had served the meal, Xie Qi invited the two to eat.

The servant first brought a copper basin for the three nobles to wash their hands, and then handed them jade chopsticks.

Luo Qin took the jade chopsticks and glanced at the meal.

On the table she saw a bowl of turtle soup, stewed venison, and some roasted pigeon.

Everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water is on Xie’s plate!

"Cousin Luo, please enjoy your meal." Xie Qi invited warmly.

"Thank you."

The girl is elegant, quiet, reserved and well-mannered.

Xie Yun glanced at her and nodded in his heart, yes, she had perfect manners and didn't look like a girl from a small side branch, but more like a girl carefully trained by a large aristocratic family.

The three of them were silent and focused on their meal.

Luo Qin raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Yun, and saw that his slender fingers were holding jade fingers and a glazed porcelain bowl in his left hand. The most ordinary eating seemed like an elegant and interesting thing to him, with a natural sense of nobility in his bones.

After the meal, the servants cleared away the dishes. Xie Qi saw that Luo Qin had almost finished her bowl of turtle soup, so she asked, "What do you think of this soup, cousin Luo?"

The boy pointed to the soup bowl.

Luo Qin recalled the feeling of the turtle soup just now, it was indeed delicious.

“The soup is very fresh and has a long aftertaste.”

In fact, most of the salt in that era tasted bitter, but the chef of the Xie family handled this problem very well, and the bitterness was almost not noticeable. I guess it was because he added other seasonings.

"Hehe, my elder brother also likes this turtle soup!" said Xie Qi.

The young man did not forget to raise his eyebrows at the girl. He took this opportunity to tell Luo Qin about Xie Yun's preferences.

Luo Qin paused for a moment, then immediately said nonchalantly: "That's really a coincidence."

Luo Qin was full of questions. What was wrong with Xie Qi today? Why did she always mention Xie Jun?

"Hey, big brother, come and have a piece of dessert made by cousin Luo."

Xie Qi pushed the box of pastries in front of her eldest brother.

Xie Yun glanced at the cake in front of him, then glanced at the little girl beside him, and finally picked up a piece, took a bite and savored it carefully, and then said: "Well, it's not bad."

Luo Qin still heard the reluctance in his words. She curled her lips secretly. She had never intended to let him taste it. This was originally for Xie Qi.

"Let me try it." Xie Qi picked up a piece, took a big bite, and said, "It's obviously delicious, much better than what our kitchen makes, and the variety is also pleasing!"

Ah, it turns out that Sanlang Xie is easier to get along with. Look how much face this young man gives!

After hearing Xie Qi's praise, Luo Qin's eyes became more cheerful.

Xie Yun saw it and felt a sudden pain in his heart.

He had already praised her, so why didn't she seem happy? On the contrary, she was beaming with joy when her third brother praised her.

You know, there are so many girls in Jiankang who want to show their affection to him, but he always turns a blind eye to them! It's rare to praise a girl's cooking skills, but she didn't say anything!
