Chapter 203: Breaking Jars and Shattering

The end of September and the beginning of October are the solar terms that only enter winter at the end of autumn.

After all, Jinan is already in the Huai and Hebei provinces, and the weather is almost as cold as winter in the south.

Jiang Xuening has spent most of the past two years in the south and has not experienced such dry and cold weather for a long time. At first glance, she encountered it again and still feels a bit uncomfortable. During the time spent with Xie Wei in Jinan Prefecture, I didn't even have the heart to go out and watch the excitement, so I was completely trapped inside.

Her body recovered quickly.

After all, during the time in the mountains, although it was too tense, Xie Wei had a good sleep on the way back. Although his body was weak after waking up, the doctor took good care of it and in just a few days, he was as lively as an ordinary person.

Xie Wei actually had some twists and turns.

Dr. Zhou said that he had been walking in the snow for a long time and had frostbite on his legs and feet. It was best not to walk randomly in the short term. Another saw that the decocted medicine was brought to the house from time to time, and the doctor was carrying a medicine bag with acupuncture and moxibustion to massage blood circulation.

It wasn't until the sixth day that Jiang Xuening accidentally pushed open the window and saw him standing in the hallway.

Xie Wei is, after all, a close vassal of the emperor and a high-ranking official in the court.

After arriving at Jinan Prefecture, many officials from Shandong Province came to pay their respects, and he completely refused to come, just like when he was in Tongzhou. He didn't mention his intention to go to the border to anyone, but instead said that he was ambushed by an unknown person on the way. He ordered Jinan Prefecture and the provinces along the way to strictly investigate and interrogate him.

Who would be suspicious about this?

Naturally, each province went back to thoroughly investigate this matter, only suspecting that it was caused by the Heavenly Sect, and immediately reported the incident truthfully to the court.

Jiang Xuening sometimes dares not think that he truly deserves to be a corrupt minister who can bloodbath the palace in the future. He dares to do such a noble and audacious thing, and because he made good excuses in the early stage, no one would doubt him.

Poor officials who are submissive and trembling

Where did you know that this sage like Master Xie was simply a villain with malicious intentions?

Xie Wei, who had returned from the door, seemed to have improved a lot compared to the day she went to see him. The ink hair was only tied with a ebony hairpin, and most of it was draped down. The body was also gently draped with a light robe, but the snow like Taoist robe was simple enough to return to simplicity, highlighting a pure and unadorned feeling.

It is a serene breeze.

When she saw him, he also looked over here.

Jiang Xuening blinked, still remembering the routine she encountered when she went to see him on the day she woke up. She felt both regretful and fearful, struggling with how to maintain a distance from the other person. However, in the following days, she dared not go to visit him no matter what.

But right now, our gaze is aligned, so we can't just ignore it, can we?

She gritted her scalp, lifted her paws, gestured from a distance, and greeted.

Xie Wei looked at her for a while, seeming to be looking at something. In the end, he only smiled, neither speaking nor intending to walk over. Instead, he continued to walk along the corridor and then headed south.

That's not the direction of the gate.

These days, although Jiang Xuening has not left the house, the courtyard is just so big. Even when taking a walk on weekdays, she can easily see that the kitchen is clearly to the south.

For a moment, she was dumbfounded.

But in my mind came the sentence from Xie Wei that day, "I will do it for you to taste in the future, so that you can be convinced.".

Isn't this person serious?

Jiang Xuening's heart was pounding as she watched Xie Wei disappear from the hallway. Out of some panic about things coming true, she closed the window sash without saying a word, afraid that she might be looking at something she shouldn't be looking at.

One quarter has passed, two quarters have passed

She sat inside, feeling restless and occasionally unable to hold back. She opened the window and quietly looked outside.

I don't know if there was half an hour in the past, but Jiang Xuening was thinking that Xie Wei was just joking. After all, a gentleman is far from being a cook, and how can he be half a saint? He shouldn't be so serious with her, right?

But as soon as the thought flashed, the window sash began to vibrate gently.

Someone stood outside and lightly tapped with their fingertips, saying, "Open the window."

It's Xie Wei's voice!

Jiang Xuening's hair stood on end, and her body, sitting under the window sash, immediately stiffened. She looked up and saw a slender shadow casting through the snow-white window paper.

Her mind was spinning and she simply remained silent, wanting to pretend that she was not there.

After all, the face-to-face meeting just now was something that happened. Isn't it okay if she went out for a walk and wasn't inside?

Unfortunately, Xie Wei was not such a easy person to fool. His voice came in again through the window paper, with a hint of a smile on it: "When did it change to belong to the turtle?"

Obviously, they saw through it.

Jiang Xuening could no longer pretend and pushed open the window sash in frustration. Sure enough, she saw Xie Wei standing outside, with a rolled up sleeve and a plate of sugary and tempting peanut pastries in the other hand.

The slightly sweet taste and the unique aroma of roasted peanuts mixed together and blew in with a gentle breeze.

Jiang Xuening was in the window, glancing quickly at the peanut pastry before quickly turning back to Xie Wei. With a smile on her face, she awkwardly called out, "Mr. Xie."

Xie Wei placed the plate of peanut pastries on the windowsill for her.

Jiang Xuening had already experienced this person's profound routine a while ago, and had already warned herself to be vigilant. At this moment, she hurriedly said, "Sir, it's kind of you. Students are uneducated and inexperienced, how can you dare to behave? Only students show filial piety to their teachers. Please take it back, sir."

Xie Wei's deep and deep eyes fixed on her, without any hint of teasing. He said lightly, "You must endure all your desires and be cautious and cautious. How much happier are you living like this than me?"

Jiang Xuening was stunned.

After Xie Wei finished speaking, he didn't look at her expression or reaction, so he turned around and walked down the corridor with his hands down.

Jiang Xuening took a long time to react and looked down again.

That plate of peanut pastry was quietly placed on the windowsill.

Her intuition was that Xie Wei's words were just a kind of "trick", but a surge in her mind made her feel that his words were absolutely right, as if they were deafening and had an inexplicable driving force.

It was difficult for her to judge for a moment whether she agreed too much with Xie Wei's words, or whether the aroma emanating from the dish of peanut butter in front of her was too tempting. After enduring it for a while, she finally couldn't help but extend her sinful little hand

After taking a bite, the sugar skin was perfectly sweet, wrapped around the peanut kernels, as if it had been dripped with a layer of oil. The golden glass solidified on top, but it was burnt rather than burnt. Peanuts are crispy and crispy. After being crushed, they mix with sugar, and the taste completely surpasses either sugar or peanuts. They blend perfectly together and explode on the tip of the human tongue.

Jiang Xuening almost swallowed her tongue together.

It's so delicious!

In her previous life, she was fortunate enough to taste the roasted wild rabbit named Xie, who made peach cake. However, since the wild rabbit is in a wilderness, there are only a few pieces of peach cake. The former has a slightly inferior taste, while the latter disappears shortly after eating.

This is the first time in my life that I have tasted anything else made by Xie Wei.

===Kunning Section 253===

I can't believe that there are people in the world who can make things so delicious!

Is there any natural reason?

It's just about being the first to read, after all, it is said that Xie, who is known for his early intelligence, has been intelligent since childhood; It is only natural for someone to play the piano well and have a higher strategy than others.

But this person is actually skilled at cooking?

Jiang Xuening suddenly had the illusion of being slapped hard on the face and humiliated from top to bottom.

But I can't control it in my hands.

Take another piece after eating one.

It goes without saying that she failed to resist Xie Wei's "tricks".

Just like how men in the world find mistresses and take care of concubines, Jiang Xuening cannot control herself. When she crosses boundaries, there is only a difference between eating Xie Wei and drinking Xie Wei, with only zero and countless occurrences.

What can I do if I eat everything?

Can't you spit it out?

Besides, Xie Wei's words were really well spoken. She has already been reborn for a lifetime. Even though there is no real freedom in this world, the desire for a delicious belly cannot be fulfilled. What is the point of living? Moreover, at the beginning, she firmly swore to Xie Wei that she couldn't bear to die, simply because she couldn't let go of all the worries and desires in this world.

Eat and eat.

Where can a person under the eaves not bow their head?

She wants to go to the border, find Yanlin, and save the princess. There are many places where she can ask for help from Xie Wei. There are always times when someone is willing to cook food for her, so she just takes it. If the relationship is ruined, why don't we lift a stone and hit ourselves in the foot?

So, despite being in a state of disrepair, he simply followed Xie Wei and started eating and drinking.

In just two days, she couldn't eat the dishes cooked by the kitchen in the other courtyard.

However, Xie Wei was not really a cook who could do it all at once. Jiang Xuening had no choice but to see him walking from the corridor towards the southern kitchen and follow him under the name of "Mr. Filial Piety", guarding the freshly cooked food.

Xie Wei was originally a popular hermit writer.

But as soon as he took off his outer robe and rolled up his sleeves, he even started cooking properly.

Occasionally, she lifted her gaze from the chopping board or the ingredients in the pot, and when she looked over, she felt that Xie Wei, who was soaked in thick smoke and fire, was much more pleasing to the eye than the half sage who lived high in the temple and strategized.

Xie Wei doesn't seem to be in a hurry to start these days. The officials in Shandong Province have also seen each other, and once the courtyard is cleared, he occasionally plays the piano, reads books, and cooks.

Very patient.

Although it delayed the trip, there was no panic at all; Although there was a plan in mind, there was no unnecessary action except to make some food for Jiang Xuening.

Jiang Xuening was boiled in warm water by him, almost forgetting his initial vigilance.

She doesn't know anything, she can only watch the fire in the kitchen.

Just like this, she occasionally gets criticized by Xie Wei for not controlling the heat well and spoiling the taste of the ingredients.

Today is already October, and the cold winter is beginning to show signs. In the kitchen, there is a hot stove on one side and a burning stove on the other, which is warm and cozy.

The news of the princess being trapped in Tatar has long spread throughout the north and south of the Yangtze River.

The streets and alleys are full of discussions.

Jiang Xuening added a stick to the stove and remembered that she hadn't seen Dao Qin these days. Staring at the flames for a while, she couldn't help but lift her head to look at Xie Wei.

Xie Ju'an's slender fingers pressed against the fresh and soft fish belly on the chopping board, calmly and painstakingly pulling it into thin pieces, with a calm and serious expression no different from reading or playing the piano.

There is a small pot of water in front of me that has already boiled to the crab's eye.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at the water, without even needing to look at Jiang Xuening anymore, he knew she was going on some errand again: "Not enough firewood added. Burning a fire can also distract me. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuening felt suffocated, but now that she was counting on him to cook, she honestly added two more sticks to the stove and said, "I've been in Jinan for so long. Didn't I go to the border before the snow arrived?"

Xie Weipian's knife didn't stop: "I'm not even afraid of what you're afraid of?"

Jiang Xuening rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you say that Yan Lin had already gone to the border first? You want to correct the order, but..."

Xie Wei interrupted her and said, "The 'decree' is already on its way to the border."

Jiang Xuening was instantly shocked, and then thought of Dao Qin, who had disappeared in the past few days, in her mind. "I just said, 'Why is Dao Qin missing?'"

Just

She couldn't help but frown and said, "If we don't arrive, can Yanlin get things done?"

Xie Wei lowered his head and paused his hand, with an inexplicable indifference in his voice: "If it weren't for me, it wouldn't have been possible. Then his years of exile would have been in vain."

Jiang Xuening's heart palpitated inexplicably.

After a while, she hesitated and asked, "When will we set off?"

Xie Wei finally finished the fish fillet, glanced at her, and then took a few ginger slices from the side to cut. His voice was calm and composed, "Don't worry."

*

The remaining sun is like blood.

The border city is desolate.

The wind blows from the northwest, and the old banners are covered in dust, only waving at the city head. Outside is the barracks where the border troops are stationed, connected in one piece. On the high platform, fallen leaves were scattered, and the copper cast unicorn claws and teeth were left to be polished and rusted by no one.

The outline of the youth is more profound and distinct than when they were young, and their eyes are more calm and introverted than in the past.

Just lifted by chance, still like an unsheathed sword——

As bright as the scorching sun, with its sharpness exposed!

A dark blue outfit with tightly tied cuffs, sturdy arms with smooth lines, a straight waist and back, and a sense of beauty that exudes strength. The palm, which had grown some calluses due to the sharpening of the sword, slowly caressed the rusted Kirin carving.

Something climbed up along the old patterns.

It was clearly so cold, but Yan Lin felt a long lost heat.

The Dianjiang Platform is three zhang above the ground and a hundred feet wide.

50000 Border Army Arranged Below!

But he is the only one, standing on an independent high platform. Looking up, only the wilderness is vast, with flags in the wind, the ground rolling with bright clouds, and swords like snow!
