Queen of flowers - Chapter 7

She was thirsty. She filled herself with a bowl of pigeon soup and drank slowly while observing Feng Liao’s expression.

Feng Liao was obviously in deep thought. The tip of his right index finger, unconsciously drew a circle on the back of his left index finger, sometimes he nodded slightly, and other times he shook his head slightly, his eyebrows wrinkled, then spread out … Yong Ruo laughed in her heart, ‘This Feng Gongzi, a diligent student, was thinking a lot! The movements he made were also quite cute.’

Yong Ruo drank a bowl of soup and tasted the hot dishes again, so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.

Then she saw Feng Liao’s face gradually turn as if he was ashamed, and in the end, as if he was being ravaged, he said, “Okay! Well said!” He was very excited, he stood up and solemnly faced Yong Ruo, and Bowed his head, “The girl’s words are really great! I’ve been taught well!”

Yong Ruo smiled, “Young master is polite!” He was indeed a Young master. He was really polite!

Feng Liao’s excitement had not yet passed, and he said, “The girl said it very well, it can only be understood, not uttered. Haha …”

She didn’t know what he thought after he said that, he suddenly laughed, and she couldn’t help looking away. After laughing, he held up his wine glass towards Yong Ruo, “Just for this, be my guest!”

Yong Ruo smiled, raised her teacup, bumped it into his wine glass, and took a sip, “Young master is polite! This little girl is ashamed.” Was The Feng son so excited because he really figured it out, or was his thinking crooked?

Feng Liao looked at her teacup with regret, “Won’t the girl really drink a little?” He pointed to a small jug on the table. “The jug contains plum wine, which is exclusively for female guests. Yes, it’s not so intoxicating.”

Yong Ruo firmly refused, “Thank you for your good intentions. This little girl is really not good at drinking.”

Feng Liao no longer bothered..

He drank the wine in his glass, and while pouring himself, he looked at Yong Ruo with a smile, “Why does the girl say– ‘Why be restrained at all times? Why call yourself “little girl” instead of “I”? ‘

Yong Ruo said, “It is a restraint to call yourself ‘this little girl ‘or ‘ I ‘?”

In the modern society of her previous life, the common people don’t call themselves “Zhen”*, “Ben gong*” or “Aa jia*” Who cared?

Feng Liao drank the wine, then nodded, and continued to pour more for himself, “It makes sense!” He held the pot with one hand, and raised the glass towards Yong Ruo with one hand, and drank the wine in the glass. Then he no longer sat upright but relaxed back against the back of his chair, his hands resting on the armrest.

“If you don’t drink, eat more vegetables!” He told her.

Yong Ruo nodded and took Mapo tofu to eat. After eating it, she put a piece together. One more …

Feng Liao looked for a moment and asked her, “The girl likes to eat tofu?”

‘Likes to eat tofu?’ Yong Ruo was stunned by the extended meaning that jumped out of his heart. She swallowed the tofu in her mouth, and said positively, “It’s okay. In fact, I like to eat delicious food. I always pick tofu and eat it with care …”

“What are you thinking about?”

Yong Ruo showed a bright smile, “Feng Gongzi, if these dishes are not finished, can I pack the rest and take them back?” There were no fast food boxes or food bags in this era, and she didn’t know what to use.

Feng Liao was puzzled, and asked, “What to do with the leftovers? Here …” Suddenly, he paused and hesitated, “… Do you want to bring them… to someone else?”

“Yes!” Yong Ruo admitted, “Feng Gongzi, this is part of common folk suffering! And it’s not for others, but for my family. Do you know how long our family hasn’t eaten meat? Three years which is too much! Tonight, I cooked the last bit of brown rice in the house. Everyone had a bowl of thick porridge, with a little salty vegetables. And this is already our holiday meal. It’s sad. “

Feng Gongzi was silent, imagining such a situation for a long time before he said, “What is your family doing? Why have you reached such a situation?”

Yong Ruo thought for a moment, If she told him the situation, would he get justice for her family and get a little compensation? !! She inherited the memories and skills of her predecessor, so she knew very well about the fall of the Yong family.

With such a thought, she made a quick decision: Gamble!

The best better wins, and there was nothing to lose.

“Our family was doing well …” She gave herself a bowl of pigeon soup and took a sip. “But almost three years ago …”
