Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Lu Ang cooks longevity noodles
As the new year approached, Lu Ang got busy. He usually left early and returned late.
There were many people in the mansion who came to visit and present gifts. Everyone in the mansion seemed to be very busy.
Only Qian Qingyu had nothing to do. Although she did not have a status, according to Grandma Ning, she was already considered half a master.
On New Year’s Eve, the servants who could not return home for the New Year gathered together to eat and drink.
Lucky did not come and asked Qian Qingyu to go.
Qian Qingyu could not go over either, so she could only light a lantern and watch the snowflakes fluttering outside. No one knew that today was her birthday.
When she remembered, her mother was no longer by her side. Her father drank too much, and only her aunt would bring her home to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for her on new year’s Eve.
Qian Qingyu brought in the little yellow parrot outside and taught it, “Happy Birthday.”
But the little yellow parrot, who had always been quick to learn from others, did not want to say happy birthday.
Qian qingyu pointed at the little yellow parrot’s head with her finger. “Stupid.”
“Stupid thing.”
Qian qingyu listened to the little yellow parrot and learned this sentence. She was so angry that she laughed. “If you were not given by the Empress, you would have been plucked and made into bird soup.”
Qian Qingyu could not wait for Lu ang to come back until 11:45 pm. It was almost midnight, so she did not wait any longer.
At this time, Lu ang probably would not come back.
Perhaps he was drinking happily in the marquis an Yuan’s residence, so he rested in the marquis an Yuan’s residence.
After Qian Qingyu laid down, she could not sleep either side, so she went to the large kitchen.
There were always servants guarding the large kitchen. Firstly, they always prepared hot water, and secondly, they were afraid that their master would want to eat.
“Miss Qingyu.”
Qian qingyu said, “I’ll make a bowl of noodles. You guys go and do your thing.”
“Okay.”
Qian qingyu made noodles. She actually did not know how to make noodles. The Little Chef, Stone, came over and said, “Miss, do you want to make noodles? Do you need my help?”
Qian qingyu said, “Thank you, Little Brother.”
“You are welcome, miss.”
After stone finished the noodles, he said to Qian qingyu, “Miss Qingyu, the noodles still need a while. Why Don’t you go back first and I’ll bring it to you later?”
“No need. I’ll wait here.”
The kitchen was some distance away from the main courtyard. It was the new year, so there was no need for the Little Chef to make an extra trip.
After the noodles woke up, stone pulled on the noodles and pulled them so long that they did not break. He put the whole noodle into the pot and boiled it.
Qian qingyu said, “Why don’t you break the noodles?”
Stone smiled at Qian qingyu and said, “If the noodles break, it won’t be longevity noodles. Miss Qingyu, Happy Birthday.”
Qian Qingyu was slightly surprised and said, “How did you know that today is my birthday?”
“When I brought you dinner just now, I heard that you were teaching the parrot to say happy birthday. Master’s birthday is still a few months away,”stone said. “So I guessed that today is your birthday. Am I right?”
Qian qingyu smiled slightly and said, “No.”
..
Lu Ang was indeed drunk. His alcohol tolerance was actually not good. Before the age of 15, he was not allowed to drink alcohol in the palace.
He could only drink when he lived in the mansion outside, but he did not drink too often.
Lu Ang woke up in the middle of the night with a headache and shouted softly. When he could not see her, he woke up and rested at his maternal grandfather’s house.
Lu ang endured the headache and frowned. “Someone, go back to the mansion.”
Today was the New Year’s Eve. How could he let Qingyu be alone?
The servant beside him supported Lu ang and said, “Your Highness, it’s late. It’s still snowing outside. You can rest in the manor.”
“No, go back. I want Qingyu…”
The servant had no choice but to support Lu ang and said, “Yes, Your Highness.”
Lu ang leaned against the carriage and went back to the manor. When he entered his own courtyard, he did not find Qian Qingyu. There were only parrots flying around.
“Qingyu, Qingyu.”
The servant girl who was on night duty outside quickly came in and said, “Your Highness, Miss Qingyu just went into the kitchen.”
Lu ang frowned. “What are you doing in the kitchen so late at night?”
Lu Ang also went into the kitchen. He saw the candlelight in the kitchen. In front of a small table, Qian Qingyu and a chef were sitting face to face.
He didn’t know what the Chef said, but Qian Qingyu’s smile was very touching.
Lu ang looked at Qian Qingyu’s smile and felt very bitter. He was not in the mansion, but Qian Qingyu went to the kitchen to talk and laugh with a strange man?
Lu Ang entered and knocked over the noodles in front of Qian qingyu without waiting for Qian Qingyu to bow.
“You are not in the room in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?”
Qian qingyu looked at the long-lived noodles on the floor and bowed. “Your Highness, I feel a little hungry in the middle of the night. I even made some food in the kitchen. Are you drunk? Shall I brew you a bowl of antidote?”
“No need.”Lu ang flicked his sleeves and left.
He did not hear Qian Qingyu’s voice. He turned around and saw Qian Qingyu squatting down to pick up all the noodles on the floor. He said unhappily, “Hurry up and follow me.”
Qian qingyu said, “Yes, Your Highness.”
Lu Ang and Qian Qingyu returned to the room. He always felt that there was something wrong with Qian Qingyu’s expression, but he could not tell what was wrong.
Qian Qingyu went up to Lu ang and gently pressed his temple. “You should drink less in the future. Last Time, you promised me that I would not get drunk. This time, I am drunk again.”
Lu ang said, “I will not get drunk next time. Today, Qian Yu and the others deliberately made me drunk. Qingyu, can you not smile at other people’s men in the future?”
Qian qingyu said, “I am not, Your Highness. Do you still think that I am the kind of seductive woman who will casually seduce people?”
Lu ang held Qian Qingyu’s hand and said, “No, I just don’t want you to smile at others.”
Qian qingyu smiled and said, “Okay, I will smile at Your Highness in the future. Your Highness, Can You Hug Me?”
It was almost midnight. Although they could not eat the longevity noodles, it was enough to have your Highness’embrace.
Lu ang hugged Qian Qingyu and suddenly remembered that the noodles that he had knocked over was a whole strand. “Is it your birthday today? was that your longevity noodles just now?”
Qian qingyu said, “Yes.”
Lu ang frowned and said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Lu ang held Qian Qingyu’s hand and said, “It’s still your birthday before dawn. Let’s go, I’ll bring you to make another bowl.”
Qian Qingyu followed Lu Ang to the kitchen. Qian Qingyu saw Lu ang take the flour and make it himself, so she said, “Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed. A gentleman cooks from afar, how can I Let You Cook?”
Lu ang said, “I only know how to make longevity noodles. I learned it when I was young for my mother’s birthday. The longevity noodles I made are very delicious. If you had told me that today was your birthday, I wouldn’t have gone to the Hou Mansion.”
Qian Qingyu looked at Lu Ang’s hand gesture of kneading and making noodles. He did look like an old hand.
Lu ang put his fingers stained with flour close to Qian qingyu and said, “Your place is dirty.”
Qian qingyu avoided him and said, “Your Highness…”
Lu ang smiled and said, “I miss my sister. She was the one who suggested learning how to make longevity noodles for my mother. Later, I found out that she wanted to save some money. She should be a beautiful lady now.” If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know so we can fix it as soon as possible.
