Chapter 264 Ingenuity

The wooden house is simple and clean. The main room covered by curtains is covered with reeds and grass, and a small pine tea table and two cushions are placed in the middle. Peng Qingying took off the clogs from her feet and walked into the house with her naked jade feet. Li Yuan also took off his shoes and went in like her, so as not to bring the soil and grass chips into the house.

Peng Qingying cast a glimpse of praise, reached out and pointed at the cushion, saying, "You sit down first, I'll go and cook water and make tea."

Li Yuan nodded and sat on the cushion, looking around at the decorations in the main hall. The decorations in the room were very simple. There were several wooden statues on the incense eucalyptus on the first incense eucalyptus. It was thought that it was the gods of Wuxi mentioned in the mouth of Dongxi, and there were three remaining incense sticks inserted into the incense burner.

Next to the main entrance is a small bamboo platform, with several thin-waisted clay pots on top, and a few blooming unknown flowers are inserted in the clay pots. There are no decorations such as calligraphy and paintings on the wall, only a pointed hat and a straw raincoat are hung. Apart from that, there is nothing else in the house, which is refreshing and elegant.

The breeze outside the house passes through the curtain and blows gently. The curtain sways, making Li Yuan, who is sitting in the house, feel very cool and comfortable. He can't help but think that if he could live here to avoid the heat in the midsummer and summer, it would be an excellent place to escape the heat.

With his footsteps, Peng Qingying, who was covered with leather skirt, came out of the room, holding a crimson tea tray in his hand. Peng Qingying's silver hairband had been removed, and he tied a delicate bun of Liuyun like the Han people. It was obvious that he had just been reorganized, and there were traces of a wooden comb dipped in water between his hair.

Peng Qingying gently brewed a cup of tea for Li Yuan. The tea fell into the tea bowl and made a sound of "Gudong Gudong", which seemed particularly pleasant in this quiet place.

"Governor, please have tea." Peng Qingying smiled.

Li Yuan grinned and said, "It's hard for you to remember that I like to drink water to make tea. I was worried that you had cooked a large pot of tea soup just now."

Peng Qingying said angrily: "Who specifically remembers what tea you like to drink? I just like drinking tea so much. I can't make it if you want to drink the tea soup you cook..."

Li Yuan smiled and thought to himself that this girl's mouth is quite hard. Dongxi and the three states of Dongxi have been influenced by Han culture for many years. Drinking tea in the Xizhou governor's mansion is made of leftover ingredients. How can I drink tea? But there is no need to argue with her, just know it.

Li Yuan picked up the tea bowl and sucked in the fragrance and said, "Good tea, so fragrant."

"This is the high mountain tea on the side of Wushan Mountain, but it is very rare. I picked it by myself. You know, there are only a few dozen tea trees that survive on this high mountain." Peng Qingying smiled sweetly.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Then I have to taste it well." Then he picked up the teacup and blew away the heat above the tea and stretched out his mouth to drink.

"Wait, aren't you afraid that I will put things in the tea? You know, this is Dongxi, we are good at all kinds of poisons here." Peng Qingying suddenly stopped Li Yuan, tilted his head to look at Li Yuan, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Li Yuan was stunned and then laughed: "Is Gu poison? Hahaha, I have no grudges with you, don't joke."

"That's hard to say...I can tell you that there is a strange Gu in this tea. If you drink this tea, everything will be under my control from now on. You will do whatever I say, and you will take it for granted. You must consider it clearly, don't be used by me, a person who is interested!"

Li Yuan laughed loudly, stretched out his mouth to drink the tea, and smacked his lips and said, "Good tea, good tea, you shouldn't drink it so well, you should taste it slowly! Well, if you can drink such good tea, you will be poisoned by a ghost? Besides, being controlled by a woman like you, it's worth it."

When Peng Qingying saw Li Yuan drinking the tea without hesitation, his face turned slightly red and a smile appeared. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Yuan shouting: "No, I am so hungry. Do you have anything to eat? Just use it to fill your hunger. If you quench your thirst, you need to quench your hunger. Send it to the Buddha to the West, this is the way to treat guests."

Upon hearing this, Peng Qingying stood up and entered the house slowly. After a moment, she came out, took out a small box in her hand, took out a few small plates of snacks and placed them on the table, and said angrily: "If you are hungry, you will eat. You come to visit me, but you don't bring any gifts. Instead, you want to eat mine and drink mine. Are there any visitors like you?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You are the real sister of Duke Peng. Why are you so stingy? Can you eat a few pieces of snacks to lose yourself?" After that, he took out his hands and grabbed a plate of snacks with exquisite shapes.

Peng Qingying spat and said, "It turns out that it is a man who has a wife. It is natural to say that it is not easy to be a good person! I live in the mountains and do not serve my maids and servants. Except for the simple rice and grain that my brother ordered to send to me, I cooked everything I eat and drink by myself. Do you think it is easy to make these snacks?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and praised, "Excellent, you have this status, but you can do enough food and clothing by yourself. If you do this, you will look at you differently! Since it is the pastry you made by yourself, I will have to eat a few more pieces."

After saying that, Li Yuan reached out and picked up a small piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, took a bite and chewed it a few times, and opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Well! It tastes delicious, it's so delicious. It's sweet and fragrant, it melts in the mouth. You're so clever, whoever marrys you will be blessed!"

Hearing these words, Peng Qingying didn't know where she wanted to go, and blushed. After receiving Li Yuan's praise, she was naturally happy and hurriedly lowered her head and fluttered her long eyelashes and said, "Your mouth is sweet, how can you taste so delicious..."

However, Li Yuan is really just a sweet-mouthed person. Since he was the Yuhou of the Palace Master last year, to the town of Jiezhen, he has long eaten many exquisite snacks. The taste of these snacks made by Peng Qingying himself is obviously far from the same, and the proportion of seasonings is obviously wrong. It is sweet, but it is too sweet.

It is impossible to melt in the mouth. It is like a hard rock in the mouth. It must be melted with saliva before it can be chewed and swallowed. However, in order to make her smile, so what if she tells some lies?

"It's delicious. Whether the dim sum is delicious or not depends on the dim sum. Eating dim sum can bring out the thoughts of the dim sum, and even the mood of the dim sum. This dim sum is so sweet, I believe that when you make it, you must think of something happy or the person you like."

While talking nonsense, Li Yuan pretended to be intentional and swallowed the wood chip-like snacks in tea.

Peng Qingying seemed to be talking about the matter, and her little mouth stumbled gently, and said angrily: "The more I talk, the more mysterious it becomes. How can I have any person I like..."

Having said that, no matter whether Li Yuan's words were out of jokes or intentional hints, Peng Qingying still felt very happy. At this time, she had wiped out the embarrassment of the two when they first met, but a strange atmosphere began to ripple in the air.
