Chapter 24:
When Green Lotus saw Tang Xiaobao’s face, she couldn’t help but laugh, then she realized she had overstepped her bounds and hurriedly lowered her head, her voice filled with envy, “Who in this house isn’t afraid of Young Master? Even speaking a few more words with Young Master makes me feel scared, only Madam can stand in front of Young Master and speak without changing face.”
Hearing Green Lotus describe Ji Ling as more terrifying than a tiger, Tang Xiaobao suddenly felt that something was wrong and frowned for a moment. The only thing he could remember was that he was scared when he saw the ghost-like Ji Ling when he first came here, and since then, he had never been that scared again, and the only thing he could remember was Ji Ling’s cold reminder not to do anything stupid, since then he didn’t seem to be that scary anymore.
After kneading the noodles one by one, he said unwillingly, “But I don’t think he’s mean.”
Originally green lotus is a cheerful girl, knowing that the master she is with, is a kind one, so there are words, she also dare to say, after Tang Xiaobao finished saying things, she looked at the already burning fire, stood up and stirred the water in the pot, the tone is full of envy, “That’s because, the young madam to the young master is special ah.”
“Huh, is that so?” Tang Xiaobao stared at the different shapes of buns pinched out in his hands, he had also seen Ji Ling getting along with others, but there didn’t seem to be anything different. Inexplicably, it made people care a little bit, could it be that he himself had missed something.
Seeing Tang Xiao Bao to think of something or matter very concentratedly, green lotus only to be quiet in the side to help, see the pot of water opened, only then she opened her mouth, “Madam, can I put it on the bamboo steam?”
“Ah, okay. ” Accidentally he wrapped too large a pile of buns in his own hands. When he heard Green Lotus’s reminder, he put the buns in in a hurry. Looking at a very neatly arranged bun, Tang Xiaobao expressed great satisfaction, and later after Ji Ling’s morning exercise, he would be able to eat soup dumplings.
Because Tang Xiaobao made a relatively small one so he cooked faster, until about the same time, the buns were also good, plus boiled millet porridge. There wasn’t much cooking, so the two of them carried it back to the room.
Ji Ling, who had cleaned himself up and was waiting for breakfast, looked at the two people who came in one after the other. He looked at the things Tang Xiaobao was carrying in his hand, and gave a glance to Green Lotus who was following behind him without a trace, and his tone was a bit cold, “Can’t this be carried by one person?”
Hearing this, Tang Xiaobao was still a bit confused, only to see Green Lotus, who had put the things down, kneeling down at once, admitting her mistake, “Slave girl’s mistake, please Young Master punish.”
Tang Xiaobao was dumbfounded at once, and then came back to his senses, knowing what Ji Ling was talking about, and looked at the very poor Green Lotus kneeling on the ground, and couldn’t bear to do so, and walked up, and tugged at Ji Ling’s sleeve, “It’s me who wants to bring it, and how can a little girl who bring it alone? And in case it spill then we don’t have anything left to eat.” The point is, he felt that as a man, how can he let a girl follow him with a bunch of things, that’s not good.
Ji Ling glanced at Tang Xiaobao, then looked at the kneeling maid on the ground, and said in a faint voice, “Looks like you like her a lot.”
Tang Xiaobao glanced at Ji Ling in a difficult way, then looked at Green Lotus, his hand still tugged at Ji Ling’s sleeve, pulled, and said under his breath, “I think she is very diligent.” To the host family, being diligent should be considered a good advantage, right?
Ji Ling turned his head to look at Tang Xiaobao, not sure if he had accepted his prevarication, and nodded, “Get up.”
“Yes, thank you, sir.”
Seeing that Ji Ling was not angry anymore, Tang Xiaobao gave a wink to Green Lotus and asked her to retreat before pulling Ji Ling to sit on top of the seat, and excitedly took the soup dumplings that he had made today and gave them to him, “Try it, it’s delicious. But be careful, there is soup inside, it is still a bit hot.”
“Good.” Looking at the small and delicate buns in front of him, Ji Ling thought it was not bad, when he ate it, the whole mouth was filled with the flavour of the sauce, it was not greasy, and one bite of it was not too much for a person.
So soon the three small buns made by Tang Xiaobao along with the congee were all eaten, and even ate a little more of the soaked kimchi.
While the subordinates were clearing up the table, Ji Ling turned his head to look at Tang Xiaobao who was staring at him in a daze, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong with me?”
Seeing that his behaviour was caught, Tang Xiaobao shook his head, he didn’t know why, he just remembered Green Lotus (Lu He) saying that Ji Ling was good to him, so he looked at Ji Ling and was unconsciously staring at him.
Ji Ling also did not pursue the question, turned his head to look at the weather outside, and then said to Tang Xiaobao, “Change your clothes, I will take you out to play.”
“Huh, go there?” The first time Tang Xiaobao remembered the lantern festival that Ji Ling took himself to see last time, and wondered what it was this time.
“Lake tour.”
By the time the two of them had changed their clothes and arrived at a large, luxurious boat, Tang Xiaobao was once again stunned. Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s bumpkin-like behaviour, Ji Ling didn’t say anything, but just took the stuff handed over by Feng Ling and put it in Tang Xiaobao’s mouth, saying, “Open your mouth.”
Feeling the thing against his mouth, smelling as if there was still a little sweet flavour, Tang Xiaobao opened his mouth and drank a couple of mouthfuls, bitter, but quite delicious. After drinking, he looked at Ji Ling who wiped his mouth and asked, “What is this?”
“Anti-seasickness medicine, your first time on the boat, although the boat is very stable, but seasickness is always a little uncomfortable.” Ji Ling calmly explained, under Tang Xiaobao’s gaze he very calmly poured the rest of what he had just drunk into his mouth. Handing the empty bottle to the subordinate, he wiped his mouth and told the boatman to sail.
Seeing Ji Ling so naturally drink the rest of his own medicine, Tang Xiaobao still blush a little, just wait for the boat to start up, they do not care about these, full of eyes are the scenery on the boat, wait until Ji Ling said that you can move around freely on the boat, Tang Xiaobao heart cheered, and then began to explore on the boat, looks like a child who went out to go picnic.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s excited figure, he signalled to Feng Ling to follow him, and Ji Ling then sat down on the bow of the boat. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the occasional cries of surprise from Tang Xiaobao behind him, Ji Ling relaxed his body and looked into the distance. It seems that because of his poor health, he has never had such a leisurely boat trip.
After a short while, Tang Xiaobao, who had already visited the ship, ran back, half lying on Ji Ling’s side, and said happily: “The captain said that we can fish on the top, and then we can cook and eat it by ourselves. What kind of fish should we eat for lunch?”
Ji Ling turned his head and looked at Tang Xiaobao who hadn’t even fished yet, but was already thinking about what to eat, reached out and pressed his head over, kissed him, and when he let go, he only saw his cheeks were crimson, and he looked at himself with a very embarrassed, but no longer resistant look. “You go, go find Feng Ling and ask him to get you a fishing rod.”
“Hn.” Covering his mouth, Tang Xiaobao was embarrassed and followed Feng Ling to get the fishing rod. After getting the fishing rod, she thought about it and asked Feng Ling to get a seat not far from Ji Ling’s side. Today’s weather is good, the wind is blowing lightly, sitting for a while. Originally Tang Xiaobao’s heart gradually calmed down because of Ji Ling’s, just looking at his own fishing rod hoping to quickly get fishes on.
“Braised fish, boiled fish, fish in sour soup.” Tang Xiaobao thought about what he could get to eat later, while staring at his own fishing rod, wishing that the fish would run up the rod.
He doesn’t know since when, around me came the sound of laughter, and then Tang Xiaobao watched the fish he was going to catch for a moment and then broke free from the hook and ran away. Then, looking towards the source of the sound, only to see that, next to this boat, a cruise ship drifted, although not as good as the Ji Ling’s ship, but it also looked very luxurious.
At this time, on the cruise ship, sitting on a few wealthy gentlemen and ladies, see people fishing there and Tang Xiaobao face serious look, can not help but tease: “Little Ger, you can not catch fish like this, you have to find a place where the water does not move so fast, otherwise how the fish will be hooked ah?”
Hearing his words, Tang Xiaobao looked at his rod, and then looked at the other side of the person, touched his head, he had not fished before. This is the first time, don’t tell me that he fished for half a day and didn’t get a fish because the method is not right.
