Chapter 27
Hundred-year-old wild ginseng, stewed in soup?
A picture flashed in the mind of the little ginseng spirit. His majesty the emperor picked up a white, fat and fat hundred-year-old wild ginseng writhing and writhing with chopsticks
. To eat ginseng!
This is too, too scary!
The little ginseng essence was kneeling on the edge of the bed, frightened by her own imagination, her heart trembled, and her figure fell to the ground in a flash.
"Be careful." Lu Rengu had sharp eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly reached out to fish.
But it was still a step too late, the little girl was already sitting on the ground, but fortunately he pulled it in time and did not fall too hard.
Liu Ruoqian broke free from Lu Rengu's hand, got up from the ground with hands and feet together, ran to the Eight Immortals table, and looked at Lu Rengu timidly across the table.
"What's the matter?" Lu Rengu was confused by the sudden nervousness of the little girl.
Liu Ruoqian supported the corner of the table and shook her head desperately: "No, it's nothing."
Don't let him know that she is a 500-year-old ginseng.
When Quan Fu said, "I put a whole hundred-year-old wild ginseng in it", his tone was full of complacency, as if stewing soup with a hundred-year-old wild ginseng was such an amazing thing.
That is a hundred-year-old ginseng, which is extremely rare.
If they knew that she was a 500-year-old small ginseng, wouldn't it be even more necessary to stew her.
When I was at home, my eldest brother accidentally dug up a wild ginseng that was only a few years old, and my parents used it to stew chicken.
Although she was also very scared, she knew that her father and mother loved her so much, they would never eat her.
But His Majesty the Emperor, she was not sure.
Although His Majesty the Emperor treated her very well and asked her to call him Brother Agu, he was still a tyrant. In his eyes, killing a person was more casual than killing a chicken in her family.
If you know that she is a small ginseng essence, or five hundred years old, then why don't you wash her immediately and stew her in a pot.
No, no, she must not be found out, she didn't want to die, she was stewed to death.
Qianqian is not afraid, Qianqian should be calm, Qianqian should not panic.
Liu Ruoqian imitated what Brother Big Mao did before, and encouraged herself in her heart.
After a few deep breaths, the little ginseng essence slowly calmed down.
Seeing the distance between her and His Majesty the ginseng eater, with a table in between, she realized that she was a little too guilty just now.
Looking at the man sitting by the bed and looking at her quietly, Liu Ruoqian pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile.
That smile was too bright, it couldn't be more fake, it could be called a fake smile.
The little girl is acting strange, what is the cause of this trouble?
She is like this because he inquired about her secret?
Lu Rengu couldn't understand it.
But since he is so afraid that he will inquire, then he will not ask for now.
Lu Rengu got up and walked towards the little girl: "Come here, eat first."
Then he ordered outside: "Quanfu, bring in the vegetarian meal and ginseng soup."
Seeing His Majesty walking towards her, Liu Ruoqian rubbed around the table He turned around half a circle, dodging the hand that Lu Rengu stretched out.
Lu Rengu's arm froze in the air: "..."
This refusal was too obvious, Liu Ruoqian was afraid of offending His Majesty the Emperor, so she smirked at him twice, wanting to make amends back.
In this way, it feels like playing a joke on him, and I hope he will not be angry.
Lu Rengu was puzzled, but also found it funny, and walked towards the little girl again.
Liu Ruoqian walked half a circle around the table again.
Lu Rengu walked in another direction, and the little girl circled in another direction...
Seeing the little girl hiding around the table, she smirked at him naively, she looked weird but cute Man, the corners of Lu Rengu's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and Quan Fu came in carrying a food box.
As soon as he came in, he saw His Majesty smiling and playing the game of chasing me across the table with Liu Meiren.
His Majesty the Emperor is tall and handsome, Liu Meiren is petite and handsome dressed like a young prince, this one is chasing, the other is running...
Quan Fu made up some unspeakable scenes in his brain, and hurriedly lowered his head, standing where he was, not daring to go any further.
This Liu Meiren is really capable, and her majesty's headache has completely healed in just such a short time.
But in the past few days, it happened every time, he didn't see it as strange, but it was his real ability to make His Majesty, who had always been cold and dignified, play with her.
You know, since the previous empress passed away, His Majesty has grown up overnight. When he is not sick or going crazy, he spends all his time practicing martial arts and studying hard, and he has never seen him laughing and playing with anyone again.
Sometimes he felt that His Majesty was like an emotionless wooden man, but he didn't expect to show such a side in front of Liu Meiren.
A third person appeared in the room, and the two people around the table did not move.
Lu Rengu ordered: "Set the rice."
"Yes." Quan Fu stepped forward, without looking sideways, and brought out the vegetarian rice and clay pots filled with century-old ginseng soup from the food box, and placed them on the table one by one.
Then he left with an empty food box and came in with a basin of warm water. After the two had washed their hands one after another, they went out again with the basin in hand and closed the door thoughtfully.
"Didn't you just say you were hungry, come over to eat." Lu Rengu sat down at the table and greeted the little girl.
Then he picked up an empty bowl, took out a small bowl of ginseng soup from the clay pot, and looked at Liu Ruoqian, "Let's have a bowl of ginseng soup first. This is stewed with century-old ginseng. It can nourish vitality, improve intelligence and soothe the nerves.
" The girl is too slender, she has already reached the hairpin, but she can wear men's clothes, if she only cares about her figure, she is a young man who is undersized, so she has to make up for it.
He often has severe headaches, ghosts and ghosts running rampant in his mind, ghosts crying and wolves howling constantly, and his whole body is always cold with Yin Qi lingering.
I met Master Huaikong a few years ago, and I told him about these symptoms, and asked him if there was any way to help him solve it.
Master Huaikong recited "Amitabha Buddha", saying that everything has cause and effect, and outsiders have no other way.
But telling him to
drink ginseng soup to make up for it can relieve his cold body.
After that, Quan Fu would cook him a pot of ginseng soup every now and then. If you drink too much, you do feel a little hotter.
Whenever Master Huaikong went out to travel, he would also remember to help him collect old mountain ginseng.
Sometimes they would ask someone to bring it into the palace, and if he happened to come to Yuanfa Temple, the little master below would directly stew it and serve it to him to drink.
This century-old mountain ginseng is not common at all, Master Huaikong must have found it in a beautiful mountain.
If a little girl drinks a bowl, there will be many benefits.
When she was asked to drink ginseng soup, Liu Ruoqian backed away in fright, waved her hands in panic, her voice was full of panic: "No, no."
She is a ginseng essence, how can she drink ginseng soup? There is a reason.
Cannibalism, that's too terrible, she really can't accept it at all.
"You really don't want to drink?" Lu Rengu held the bowl and raised it forward.
Liu Ruoqian shook her head desperately, as if she was afraid of Lu Rengu's forceful pouring, and covered her mouth tightly with both hands.
Seeing that the little girl refused so resolutely, Lu Rengu didn't insist anymore, brought the bowl to his mouth, and drank the bowl of ginseng soup in two or three gulps.
The excitement made the little ginseng spirit tremble with horror, if he hadn't covered his mouth, he would have screamed.
After Lu Rengu drank the small half bowl, he was ready to take out the remaining ginseng soup in the clay pot.
The hundred-year-old wild ginseng in the earthenware pot was a little in the way. Lu Rengu picked up the chopsticks, picked up the white and plump wild ginseng, and prepared to put it in an empty bowl aside.
But as soon as I picked it up, I heard the little girl's sharp voice stop: "Don't!"
The sweet and glutinous girl's voice split a big fork, completely changing the tune.
The abrupt voice did not scare Lu Rengu, but it surprised Quan Fu, Zou Qi and all the golden wolf guards who were guarding outside.
Not knowing what happened inside, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Just now, she heard Liu Meiren's silly laughs, why did she scream again all of a sudden.
But don't listen to injustice, it's better not to listen to what's going on in His Majesty's room. Commander Master Zou waved his hands very discerningly, and retreated away with the Golden Wolf guards.
Quan Fu thought of the scene where the two of them were chasing after each other just now, his thoughts were like a wild horse running away uncontrollably.
Lu Rengu held a hundred-year-old wild ginseng on his chopsticks, and raised his eyes in doubt.
I saw the little girl tightly covering her mouth, her big eyes wide open, wet with tears, full of horror.
Like, freak out?
Lu Rengu frowned: "What's wrong?"
Liu Ruoqian pointed at him with trembling fingers.
Lu Rengu paused for a moment, then slowly turned his head, looked up, down, left, and right, but did not see anything terrifying behind him.
He turned his head and looked at the little girl suspiciously: "What did you see?"
Liu Ruoqian waved her fingers, pointed at the wild ginseng on his chopsticks, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Agu, can you, don't you eat it?" It's fine to drink some soup, but if you eat ginseng in front of the ginseng essence
, That was really barbaric and cruel.
If he dares to eat, she will, she will never be with him again.
Lu Rengu followed the direction of the little girl's fingers, looked at the wild ginseng in his hand, and said strangely: "You mean, don't let me eat this ginseng?" The little ginseng
essence nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, with pitiful eyes : "Well! Brother Agu, can you not eat it?" If
you eat it today, you will have to eat her another day! We must not let him develop the habit of eating ginseng.
Lu Rengu looked at the ginseng, then at the little girl, feeling extremely puzzled.
Thought he wanted to eat ginseng, and the little girl was scared like this?
He didn't understand, but he still put the ginseng into the empty bowl: "Okay, don't eat it, don't be afraid."
The soup has been stewed for a long time, and the medicinal effects are all in the soup. He didn't intend to eat this ginseng in the first place.
At this moment, Lu Rengu was very curious about what the little girl was thinking. He stretched out his hand and said softly, "Qianqian, come over to Brother Agu."
Liu Ruoqian was still worried, and pointed to the bowl containing the century-old ginseng: "Brother Agu, I I don’t want to see it.”
Putting such a stewed ginseng on the dining table is no less than putting a dead body on the table to her little ginseng spirit. The little girl's request was a bit unreasonable, but Lu Rengu was happy to coax
her, and said: "Come here. " The bowl of wild ginseng was handed over: "Take it out." Quan Fu hurriedly stepped forward to take it with both hands, and then asked: "Your Majesty, should I throw it away or how to deal with it?"
Halfway through the meal, His Majesty called someone to come in and take out the ingredients. This was the first time that Quan Fu didn't know what His Majesty's intention was, and he was afraid that he might do something wrong, so he had to ask more questions.
Lu Rengu looked at Liu Ruoqian, and saw the little girl holding her white and tender fists, staring closely at the bowl of ginseng.
"Qianqian, what do you say?" Lu Rengu asked.
Liu Ruoqian was expecting him to ask, when she heard it, she immediately replied without hesitation: "Find a place, and bury it for good luck."
At least it's safe in the ground. It's also considered her friendship as a fellow clan.
I'm afraid Liu Meiren is not right, her mind is not normal? Quan Fu looked astonished and looked at his Majesty.
Lu Rengu sat like a mountain at the front of the table: "Just do as Liu Meiren said." Although he didn't
understand the little girl's strange behavior, but seeing her feeling a little sad when she said that she buried the ginseng, Lu Rengu couldn't bear it anymore. I just want to follow her wishes and make her happy.
"Yes, this slave will do it now." Quan Fu suppressed the shock in his heart, and retreated out with the ginseng bowl in both hands.
If things go on like this, if Liu Meiren wants the stars in the sky one day, His Majesty may also pick them off for her.
The door closed again.
Lu Rengu glanced at the little girl and saw that she was still staring at the pot.
Lu Rengu pondered for a while, picked up the lid of the clay pot, and covered the pot.
Although he didn't understand what the little girl was afraid of, he already guessed that it must be related to this ginseng soup.
Since she is afraid, it doesn't matter if she doesn't drink this ginseng soup, let alone today, even in the future.
Lu Rengu picked up the clay pot with one hand, opened the door and handed it out, then walked to the little girl's side, and reached out to shake the little hand she was still hugging in front of him.
But Liu Ruoqian turned around and avoided it. She avoided it and put both hands behind her back.
He drank the ginseng soup with that hand, and almost sent it to his mouth with that hand, so she didn't want him to touch it.
Lu Rengu frowned slightly, but he didn't force it, he walked back to the table and sat down first: "Come and eat."
There were no compatriots on the table, Liu Ruoqian felt a little more comfortable, this time he obediently walked to the table and sat down.
Seeing the little girl's small eyes wandering, as if still in shock, Lu Rengu reached out again, wanting to touch her head to comfort her.
Of course, listen to her heart by the way.
But the little girl shrank her neck and dodged again, her movements were swift and violent.
This is
, don't let it touch it, don't let it touch it?
Lu Rengu felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Not allowed to touch, not allowed to touch, then how would he know what she was afraid of?
Liu Ruoqian's dodging just now was all based on the instinct of the goblin.
After hiding, I realized that His Majesty's face didn't look very good.
As His Majesty's beauty, she keeps avoiding his closeness, which seems inappropriate. She reflected on herself and felt guilty. In order to make up for the mistake, she stretched out a small white paw, grabbed Lu Rengu's sleeve and shook it, and said in a low voice, "Brother Agu
, let's eat."
Holding a little side of his sleeve, he didn't grab it like he used to, and he didn't touch his skin.
In this way, he still couldn't hear what the little girl was thinking.
Forget it, if you can't hear it, you can't hear it.
After so many years, he has known what other people think like the palm of his hand, so he has long since found it boring, right?
Since the little girl won't listen to him, he will slowly figure it out.
It just so happened that I lived in the mountains for the past two days and was not involved in government affairs, so let's get along with the little girl slowly, and I will always understand.
Lu Rengu took chopsticks for the little girl: "Come, eat."
Liu Ruoqian was hungry first, and after spending so long on the ginseng soup for a hundred years, her stomach was already flat.
As long as she is not allowed to eat ginseng, she no longer cares about whether it is all vegetarian dishes, and just picks up chopsticks to eat.
The right sleeve was held by the little girl. Lu Rengu skillfully picked up the chopsticks with his left hand and began to eat slowly.
Liu Ruoqian was full of thoughts and ate hard.
Lu Rengu was full of research, looking at the little girl while eating.
Both of them finished their meal quietly without saying a word.
Calling Quanfu to come in and clean up the table, Lu Rengu asked the little girl who was holding his sleeve and yawning again and again: "Qianqian, it's getting late, I'll have someone prepare hot water, you take a bath?" When she heard about taking a bath, Liu Ruoqian
thought After picking up the wild ginseng that had been washed white and clean, he immediately regained his energy and quickly waved his hands: "No, no!"
Lu Rengu persuaded patiently: "Be obedient, take a hot bath after a long journey, and sleep more comfortably. "
The main reason is that since he came back, the little girl has been startled and tensed all the time, and taking a hot bath can relax her.
Realizing that she reacted too violently, Liu Ruoqian nodded: "Okay then, brother Agu, you have to go out while I'm washing, so don't peek." Although she is in human form now, she is still white when she takes off her
clothes Yes, when I think about it, it is quite similar to the stewed 100-year-old ginseng just now.
In case, His Majesty the Emperor sees Shen and wants to nibble on her, it will be a big trouble.
Lu Rengu chuckled, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't peek."
Lu Rengu ordered, and immediately someone cleaned the tub in the side room and filled it with hot water of a suitable temperature.
Liu Ruoqian took Lu Rengu's sleeve to the door, and when he stepped over the threshold, she shook his sleeve and tried to discuss: "Brother Agu, can you stop drinking ginseng soup in the future?"
"Why?" Lu Rengu really wanted to put his hand on the little girl's head, or hold her little hand, but thought of the little girl's repeated rejections, he held back.
After all, he is not that disciple, so he has to save face.
Liu Ruoqian asked without answering: "Brother Agu, do you drink ginseng soup because of your headache?"
Lu Rengu nodded, "Yes."
Liu Ruoqian raised her face and said, "Then Qianqian will read more scriptures for you in the future, and you will not Is it okay to drink it?"
Since her chanting is effective, she should recite more.
Otherwise, she took a bath later, poured out some of the bath water, and tricked His Majesty into drinking it, to see if it would be of any use?
The stewed ginseng soup is ginseng soup, so the water she bathed in can also be regarded as ginseng soup.
After all, she is still a 500-year-old little ginseng essence.
