Marry a Duke

Chapter 110 Don't Call Me Duke

Qingfuyuan has always been a vegetarian restaurant. It’s not that they don’t eat meat, they just eat less.

Whenever Wei Xuan returned home, he would have dinner at Qingfuyuan. Meat was also prepared for dinner, usually one dish.

The old Duke and Wei Qing passed away early, and Madam Wei became a vegetarian just to accumulate some merits.

It doesn't stop other people from having their own preferences in food.

"The quality of the roast duck delivered by the kitchen today is different from before." The old lady stared at it for a while before asking Madam Li.

She did not ask the kitchen to prepare roast duck today.

Aunt Li should be.

"The chef in the kitchen mentioned that this dish is indeed different from the previous ones. This one is called honey roast duck, and it was the Second Madam who gave the recipe to the chef to prepare."

Nanny Li looked at Fu Ran with a smile.

Fu Ran really wanted to eat this dish. He was a little craving for it yesterday, so he wrote down the recipe early and asked Yu Di to send it to the kitchen.

The chef in the kitchen of Duke Weiguo’s Mansion is also of some note, and he made it today.

Fu Ran knew that she would have a treat in the future. In addition to the meals prepared by the master chef, she could also eat what she wanted. She had many recipes for dishes that she could give away.

In her previous life, she had tried it herself.

However, her cooking skills are definitely not as good as the kitchen master's. His cooking is delicious. Last time she gave me the recipe, and the braised lion's head she made was delicious.

"Mother, this honey roast duck was indeed prepared by the master chef. I was greedy for it, so I asked the master chef to try to prepare it. As I didn't know how it would taste, I only asked the master chef to prepare one. If it tastes good, I will prepare a few more next time." Fu Ran said tactfully.

She is delicious, which is not in line with her current status.

She didn't dare to be greedy before.

She would eat whatever the mansion gave her. If the mansion didn't give her anything, she would just go hungry. It had never been like this before, where she would give the recipes herself and ask the kitchen to prepare them.

Madam Wei is not a stingy person. She was stingy before because she was afraid that Fu Ran had bad intentions towards the Wei family.

Now that she is sure that she doesn't have it, Mrs. Wei is happy to see her living a comfortable life.

"Master's cooking skills are indeed good. Now that it's ready, let's all try it." said the old lady.

The kitchen has already prepared two plates in advance. My dear master, your hands are not greasy.

The maidservant beside her was serving the dishes, and she picked up a piece of duck meat for the old lady and one piece for Wei Xuan.

Fu Ran directly picked up a duck leg and gave it to Wei Nian.

There were two duck legs in total, and she kept the other eye for herself.

She didn't hesitate and directly put the other duck leg into her bowl. Just as she was about to eat it, she found Wei Xuan looking at her.

She hesitated for a moment and her eyes fell on the duck legs.

A duck has only two legs.

One was given to Wei Nian, and she couldn't ask for it. If Wei Xuan wanted to eat it, she wouldn't be able to taste it tonight.

Fu Ran didn't look at him again, just lowered his head and took a bite.

Then, she looked at him in surprise: "Why? The Duke wants to eat duck legs too?" She said regretfully: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then I wouldn't have bitten it."

She held out the bitten duck leg and said, "If the Duke doesn't mind, you can still eat it."

Something flashed in Wei Xuan's eyes.

"No, you can eat it yourself."

Fu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn't snatch the food from her mouth: "Next time I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a few more duck legs so that everyone can eat duck legs." She announced happily.

Old Madam Wei ate a piece of duck meat, which was indeed delicious, so she ate two more slices.

She put down her chopsticks, as she didn't eat much meat to begin with.

"Fu Ran, it seems strange that you have been calling Xuan'er the Duke. From now on, just call him by his courtesy name." Old Madam Wei said.

Character?

Fu Ran didn't know what Wei Xuan's name was.

"Mother is right, but Fu Ran doesn't even know the Duke's courtesy name."

"Xiuning." Wei Xuan said.

Wei Xiuning - the name was chosen by the old Duke. When Wei Xuan was young, he had a hot temper and was dissatisfied with many things in the world. During his two years of rebellion, the old Duke gave him a name.

Cultivating tranquility and finding peace of mind are the remaining tasks for him.

Later, the old Duke passed away, and his brother passed away. Wei Xuan had to control his temper and complete self-cultivation. Now he can face anything calmly.

Even with the repeated provocations and challenges from the ***, he could remain calm and deal with them with ease.

If it were a few years earlier, I'm afraid he would have confronted *** head-on with a thunderous force.

"Yes, Xuan'er's name is Xiuning--." Old Madam Wei thought of the deceased old Duke again, "In the blink of an eye, many years have passed." The old lady sighed.

The atmosphere became a little tense.

Fu Ran swallowed the meat in his mouth, looked at Wei Xuan, and called out, "Xiuning."

Wei Xuan glanced at her and nodded.

Dinner ended quickly. No one wanted to eat slowly. Lan Yin even had a hard time swallowing. She found that she was no match for Fu Ran.

Fu Ran's attitude was much more casual and normal than hers.

Wei Nian, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He chattered a lot, which made the table less silent.

Old Madam Wei also asked Lan Yin to bring Wei Nian to Qingfuyuan more often to keep her company.

Lan Yin agreed, feeling a little overwhelmed.

After dinner, Fu Ran sent Lan Yin and Wei Nian back to Qingyin Courtyard first, and then she returned to Chaoguang Courtyard.

Wei Xuan did not go with them. He had already returned to Chaoguangyuan with Wuyou in his arms.

Three days later it will be the first day of the new year, and Old Madam Wei will go to burn incense.

After dinner, I asked her and Lan Yin if they wanted to go together.

Fu Ran actually didn't want to go. She had suffered bad things in the temple many times, and she felt that with her physical condition, it would be better for her to stay away from the Huguo Temple.

However, Mrs. Wei said that this time they were going to another temple.

She made a wish when Wei Xuan was not married. Now that Wei Xuan's daughter is one month old, she wants to fulfill her wish.

In order to fulfill Wei Xuan's vow, he naturally had to take his wife and daughter along.

Wei Xuan is also going tomorrow.

Fu Ran couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to agree.

Lan Yin didn't want to go at first, but later Madam Wei persuaded her to go and pray for Wei Nian's safety, and Lan Yin agreed.

When I returned to Chaoguangyuan, I didn't see Wuyou or Wei Xuan in the house.

"Madam Xu, where is Wuyou?" Fu Ran raised his eyebrows. He didn't see Wei Xuan in the yard.

Where did he take Wuyou?

"Madam, the Duke carried the little lady back to the courtyard and went to his room. He hasn't come out yet." Madam Xu replied.

Fu Ran nodded.

Standing in the yard and looking at the lights on in Wei Xuan's room, she hesitated for a moment and didn't go.

Let the raindrops prepare water. Since Wei Xuan likes Wuyou so much, let him hold her for a while longer. She will take a bath first, and when Wuyou comes back, she can rest earlier.

She washed slowly, not in a hurry at all.

When she washed and put on her pajamas, she found Wuyou had returned and Wei Xuan was there too.

Fu Ran was wearing pajamas, with her long hair loose. Her petite body could not hide her fragility. Her face was fair and her wrists were slender. Her wrists were white and she did not wear any jewelry.

Fu Ran glanced at Wei Xuan.

"It's getting late, Duke, you should go back and rest early."
