To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 143 Gift

   "What is this?" Luo Sheng leaned against the counter, his tone calm.

   Wei Han's tone was also calm: "A gift for Miss Luo."

  Shi Yan stood in the corner and squeezed his eyes.

  When you give a gift, no matter what it is, at least your tone should be gentle, so that the girl feels that it is right to put her on the top of her heart.

   With this tone, I thought it was asking the other party to pay the bill.

   "Shi Sanhuo, are your eyes cramping?" Hongdou looked at Shi Yan in disgust.

  Shi Yan touched his nose and went to clear the table.

   "My lord has already sent congratulations, why did you give me a gift?" Luo Sheng looked at Wei Han and asked casually.

  The man in front of him seemed to prefer the scarlet color, and his scarlet clothes set off his skin like jade, cold and desolate.

  But such a person said something provocative enough in a flat tone: "I found this item by accident in the palace, and thought Miss Luo would like it, so I gave it away."

  The little guard who wiped the table was almost moved to tears.

  Master finally made some progress!

  Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing: "My lord's words are easy to misunderstand. Could it be that as long as I like it, you will give it away?"

   Wei Han looked at her and said, "As long as you like, I can do what I can."

  Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

  Shi Yan couldn't help but wink again.

  Master, speak out boldly, say that you admire her!

  He didn't believe it anymore. With the appearance and identity of the master, Miss Luo really didn't think about it.

  Amid the impatience of the little guard, Wei Han said calmly: "I am very satisfied with the food and drinks in the restaurant, and I am very grateful to Miss Luo."

  Looking at those black jade-like indifferent eyes, Luo Sheng could see that the other party really thought so.

  She couldn't help laughing: "The prince has already paid."

   "A lot of favorite things can't be bought by paying." Wei Han pushed the blue cloth wrapped things to Luo Sheng's hand, "Please accept it, Miss Luo."

  Luo Sheng's eyes fell on the thing, and he said expressionlessly: "Even if the prince gives an extra gift, it won't be half price."

   Wei Han hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't have that intention."

   It doesn't matter if it's half price or not, if Miss Luo sees that he has something to give as a sincere gift, that's the goal.

   "Then I will be disrespectful." Luo Sheng finally nodded.

   Wei Han raised the corners of his lips slightly, and smiled sincerely: "Then I'll go back, and come back tomorrow."

   "My lord, let's go."

  Luo Sheng looked at the crimson figure who turned and walked out, and asked casually: "Why does the prince always wear scarlet clothes?"

   Wei Han paused and turned around.

  Shi Yan couldn't wait to explain: "Our prince changes at least one set of clothes every day, but the color and style are similar—"

  The latter words were forced back by Rudao's eyes.

  Shi Yan was aggrieved and wiped the table.

  He was afraid that Miss Luo would misunderstand that the master didn't take a bath and change clothes frequently, why the master didn't understand his heart.

  Wei Han and Luo Sheng looked at each other, and said in a very calm tone: "I used to kill people often, and the blood splashes in scarlet clothes won't be too conspicuous, and I got used to it after a long time."

  Shi Yan picked up the rag and covered his face.

  If the master makes him despair again, he will stop raising geese. Trying to win the status of the lower chief may prolong his time with Miss Luo.

   "I see." Luo Sheng nodded to indicate that he understood.

   Wei Han looked at her and said, "Miss Luo likes to wear plain clothes after returning to Beijing."

  He still remembered that the girl who rushed over and pulled off his belt was bright red.

  Thinking about it now, it feels like two different people.

  Luo Sheng's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said coolly: "My lord is concerned about what color clothes the girl wears?"

  The whole palace of the prince was destroyed, and she died with hatred on the day of her wedding. Wouldn't she be happy to wear bright red instead of plain clothes?

   Wei Han raised his eyebrows innocently.

   It was Miss Luo who asked him first, and he thought that the other party was interested in this topic.

  Why are you angry again?

  After thinking about it for a moment, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to give up.

   "Just a casual question, if Miss Luo finds it abrupt, then I apologize."

  Luo Sheng picked up the teacup: "My lord, go slowly."

   Wei Han sighed in his heart, turned and left.

  Shi Yan threw the rag, and came up to intercede: "Master, don't be angry with our master. The master has no experience with girls, and he doesn't even know what he said."

   "It's not angry." Luo Sheng said casually, and his eyes fell on the things wrapped in blue cloth.

   This time, what did King Kaiyang send?

   The golden kitchen knife was so impressive that Luo Sheng simply peeled off the blue cloth layer by layer to reveal his true face.

  It is a thin book with a few large characters on the cover: Pan's Food Collection.

   It was actually a cookbook.

  There is a family of chefs with the surname Pan in the north, who are good at stewing dishes. It is a pity that the war many years ago broke the inheritance of Pan's family, which is regarded as a pity by many famous chefs.

   She knew these things from a cook from the north when she was the princess of Qingyang.

  This volume of Pan's food treasures, could it be the lost recipes of the Pan family in the Northland?

  Luo Sheng opened it and looked through it, and it was as expected.

   This gift is indeed what I want.

  However, although gifts are desirable, people are not. Who gave him the surname Wei?

Luo Sheng didn't show any joy or anger on his face, and smiled at the desperate little guard: "First is the kitchen knife, then the recipe, it seems that your prince is not giving me a gift, but hopes that I can make better meals so that I He eats to his satisfaction."

   "No, that's not what our master meant—" Shi Yan wanted to defend his master, but his eyes fell on the cookbook, and he had nothing to say.

   "Girl, let's eat." Hongdou urged impatiently.

  What is there to say about a man, do their girls lack a man?

   It is serious to eat quickly.

  The wine shop soon ushered in the happiest time of the day, when the moon in the sky quietly hid in the clouds.

   Wei Wen returned to the palace under the moonlight, changed her clothes and went directly to Princess Pingnan.

   "Did you eat outside today?" Princess Pingnan held a teacup and casually chatted with her daughter.

   "There is a restaurant on Qingxing Street, and the taste is very good. Concubine Mu, let's go eat together tomorrow."

  Princess Pingnan smiled and shook her head: "If you want to go, just bring more servants to accompany you. It's not suitable for mother and concubine to go."

  Wei Wen persuaded: "Mother and concubine don't know, all the people who go to that restaurant are people with status, even the little Wang uncle is a regular customer."

   "Uh, is King Kaiyang a regular visitor?" This aroused Princess Pingnan's interest.

   "Yes, Uncle Wang often goes there, as well as the six ministers and their female relatives. Many people have been there."

   "It seems that the restaurant tastes really good, but the concubine mother has a bad appetite recently, let's talk about it later."

   Wei Wen pursed her lips: "Concubine Mu, the cook in that restaurant can also make amber winter melon."

   "Amber wax gourd?" Princess Pingnan was taken aback for a moment, and now she was really interested.

   "Mother Concubine, you just agree, call Father Wang and Second Brother tomorrow, let's go together."

  Princess Pingnan pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I'll ask your father if he's free later."

  Amber winter melon, I haven't eaten it for a long time.

  Thanks to the book friends who rewarded and voted. See you tomorrow.
