Chapter 157: Thoughtful
He had no choice but to speed up and gallop towards the finish line. When the horse ran back to the starting point, Qianhuan still hugged his neck and snuggled in his arms like a princess.
The man on top said coldly: "Let go and get off the horse."
"Brother, my legs are weak now, can you carry me down? Please, brother."
Rong Yu suppressed his anger and carried her off the horse. Qianhuan fell to the ground with her legs a little weak. Before she could stand firmly, Rong Yu immediately pried her hands apart and pushed her out.
Qianhuan stumbled and fell to the ground. She felt so aggrieved that tears welled up in her eyes.
She had never met such an unkind man before. She was almost scared to death. Not only did he not say a word of comfort to her, but he also pushed her away so coldly.
In this comparison, Brother Lin'an is better. If Brother Lin'an were here, he would definitely comfort me gently.
Rong Yu was so angry when she saw his behavior that she yelled, "Look at how you look now, you are full of effeminate behavior, crying all the time, how can you be a man at all?"
Qianhuan complained crazily in her heart: He is not a man to begin with, isn't it normal that he doesn't look like a man at all?
However, she only dared to say it in her heart, and still explained: "Brother taught me that Shanbo was frightened just now, so he lost his composure. I also want to thank you for catching up in time and saving Shanbo's life."
"You are a man of seven feet tall, but you are as timid as a mouse. If this is all your courage is, I advise you to give up learning horse riding as soon as possible."
The more Rong Yu looked at him, the angrier he felt. This junior brother really didn't have any manliness at all. It was a good thing that he said he wanted to learn horse riding and archery, so he still looked at him with some respect.
He had been leading soldiers for so many years, and he had never seen a man in the army who was as effeminate as the man in front of him. If he had such a cowardly soldier under his command, he would have to drag them out and whip them severely until they had to be toughened up.
Seeing his livid face and the fact that he asked her to give up learning horse riding, Qianhuan immediately lowered herself and said, "Brother, don't be angry. It was just an accident. Don't worry, I promise I won't be nervous or scared again."
In ancient times when transportation was so backward, how could one survive without learning how to ride a horse? She had better try to coax the big ice block in front of her.
There's nothing I can do. People with ability have the capital to throw tantrums. Brother Lin'an and Brother Yunlong are more patient with me and have gentler tempers. When looking for a husband, I must not look for a big ice cube like my senior brother. It's too cold and boring!
Qianhuan later found out that Big Ice Cube was actually a slow-warming type of person. When such a person truly falls in love with someone, even a big ice cube can be turned into a heating pad, even a tough guy can become soft as a silken finger, say sweet words, and be so sweet that it's sickening!
People who are enthusiastic in just a few words and seem to be very trustworthy may sometimes disappear quickly.
People who are slow to warm up are often doubly persistent in relationships. Sometimes, the colder someone seems, the more affectionate they are.
It’s just like the saying goes, people who warm up quickly also cool down quickly, while people who warm up slowly are the most loyal!
Seeing that he had spoken nicely and was submissive, Rong Yu finally suppressed his anger and patiently began to teach her how to control the horse. Qian Huan also mustered up the courage to get on the horse again.
She is a person with a lot of drive and likes to face challenges head-on. In modern times, she can drive a four-wheeled vehicle so smoothly. Could it be possible that she would be scared by a beast with four hooves?
Seeing that he really did what he said, Rong Yu was no longer so nervous and scared, and his expression relaxed a little.
After training for more than an hour, the two returned to the Fan Mansion together, and Qianhuan started cooking for everyone.
Although Qianhuan felt that her senior brother seemed cold and sometimes spoke cruelly, he still chased her and saved her life, and did not really abandon her.
In order to thank and please Senior Brother Big Ice Cube, Qianhua decided to make the dumplings in a more unique way today.
She asked Chang Bo to buy spinach, pumpkin, carrots, red amaranth and black sesame. In ancient times when conditions were limited, she could only use these vegetables to match the color. Today she was going to make the modern colorful vegetable dumplings.
Spinach juice can make green dumpling skins, pumpkin juice can make yellow dumpling skins, carrot juice can make orange dumpling skins, red amaranth can make red dumpling skins, and black sesame can make black dumpling skins.
As for the dumpling fillings, she also prepared five different fillings, with different dumpling fillings filled in different dumpling skins of different colors.
Qianhuan also decided to make five more complicated dumpling shapes today. She was afraid that the cook would make them too ugly, so she made them all by herself.
The green dumplings are in the shape of a twist, the yellow dumplings are in the shape of a lucky bag, the orange dumplings are in the shape of a pentagon, the red dumplings are in the shape of a flower, and the black dumplings are in the shape of a triangle.
When Qianhuan and the cook brought plates of dumplings of various colors and shapes to the table, everyone stared at these colorful dumplings that looked like works of art. No matter the bright colors or the lovely shapes, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
Even though Rong Yu was a person who didn't show his emotions easily, this time his face was filled with astonishment.
Wenjie even exclaimed, "Wow, what beautiful dumplings! There are five colors. Brother Shanbo, did you make all of these by yourself? Can such beautiful dumplings really be eaten?"
"Haha, of course you can eat it. Today's dumplings are all made by me."
Mr. Fan couldn't help but ask, "Shanbo, how did you make so many colors? Is this really edible?"
"Sir, feel free to eat them. I mixed the colors of these dumplings with vegetable juice. They are not only beautiful, but also nutritious and delicious. The dumplings in these five colors are filled with different stuffings. The green dumpling skins are filled with water chestnut meat (water chestnut is scientifically known as water chestnut), the yellow dumpling skins are filled with leeks and shrimp, the orange dumpling skins are filled with mushroom meat, the red dumpling skins are filled with fennel and eggs, and the black dumpling skins are filled with mutton and green onions. You can eat the dumpling of the color you like."
Mr. Fan couldn't help but praise him, "Shanbo, you are really thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I don't think it's hard work. As long as you and me like the food, I will spend time cooking every day. I am clumsy, but Rong Yu doesn't despise me and teaches me patiently. I am very grateful. Besides, you came from the far north, so I want to cook more northern delicacies for you. You won't miss home when you are full."
Qianhuan said this on purpose. She spent so much time and effort to make these colorful dumplings, wasn't it just to please her senior brother? She didn't want to spend so much effort without the main person knowing.
Not to mention that the senior brother is a man of both civil and military talents, just from the aura he exudes, Qianhuan can feel that this senior brother is a hidden talent with extraordinary strength. It will definitely only benefit her and not harm her to please him.
Upon hearing this, Rong Yu raised his head and glanced at Qianhuan. Well, this junior brother did have some good points. At least he knew how to be grateful.
Today's dumpling dipping sauce tastes more delicious than yesterday's because it is seasoned with the bean paste that Qianhuan brought over. Everyone enjoyed the lunch with gusto and was still reluctant to leave.
