Ci Jinzhi Chapter 123

   Noticing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Aunt Gui smiled and comforted herself: "It's nothing, as long as you live well, it's the same wherever you are."

  Since the empress is so capable, my sister will certainly be doing well.

  Xin You moved her lips to agree, but couldn't say it out loud. She poured a glass of lychee osmanthus wine and took a long gulp.

  The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, the sweetness of lychee, and the slight smell of alcohol, the intertwined taste is fascinating.

  Xin You took another sip and praised: "It's really delicious."

  Aunt Gui was very happy: "The lychee wine was brewed in April. The lychees I personally picked are all plump and clear..."

  Xin You listened carefully.

Aunt Xia also likes to make fruit wine. Red bayberries in March, lychees in April, cherries in May, peaches in June, and grapes in July. From the warm spring to the golden autumn, those fruit wines have the sweetness of those months, nourishing her. four seasons.

  Xin You can confidently say that she is a very happy child who has grown up happily.

  One can't hide whether one is interested in a topic or not. Seeing that Xin You listened seriously, Aunt Gui smiled and said, "If Ms. Kou is interested, I will teach you how to make wine some other day."

   "Okay." Xin You also responded with a smile.

  Actually, she and Aunt Xia had learned how to make dim sum and brew wine, and then Aunt Xia refused her to enter the kitchen.

  Xin You was a little curious about Aunt Gui's current situation.

  Aunt Xia is the maid of the mother, and Aunt Gui and Aunt Xia are sisters, so they should be palace maids.

  But it's not convenient for Gong'e to go out of the palace.

  Xin You suppressed her doubts for the time being, and ate crispy yellow dumplings with Aunt Gui, drank lychee osmanthus wine, and then sent her out of the gate of the bookstore.

  After turning around and coming back, Xin You met the intriguing eyes of the old shopkeeper.

   "Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper?"

   "Boss, who is this woman?"

  Xin You smiled: "I didn't ask in detail, I just thought it hit me right."

   Shopkeeper Hu coughed: "The villain thinks she is not an ordinary guest."

   "What?" Xin You asked calmly.

  Even shopkeeper Hu sees that Aunt Gui has another purpose?

   "Could it be that some young man fell in love with his boss, and his parents came to inquire about the situation?" Shopkeeper Hu lowered his voice.

  Xin You looked a little weird.

   I didn't expect shopkeeper Hu to be such a gossip!

   Shopkeeper Hu suddenly felt aggrieved, and quickly explained: "The villain is afraid that the boss will trust others and will suffer."

  Many people must have discovered the earning power of their boss, and some people have moved their minds.

   "Don't worry shopkeeper, I won't suffer."

  Liu Zhou interrupted: "That's right, the shopkeeper, you like to think wildly, so our boss won't suffer."

   Shopkeeper Hu glared at Liu Zhou, and thought to himself, what do you know about a kid who wants to make his boss and Mr. He a pair all day long.

  As soon as the old shopkeeper thought of Mr. He, He Qingxiao came in.

   Liu Zhou went up to meet him: "Master He, you are here."

  In the past, he used to say "Master He is here to read books", but recently Master He always buys books, so he doesn't know how to say hello.

  He Qingxiao didn't come to read books.

  He received a letter from the south, and there was no progress regarding the accidental death of Miss Kou's father. Instead, he secretly investigated Guchangbo's mansion and found something.

  Thinking of Miss Kou's attention to Guchangbo's mansion, I couldn't help but come to see her.

  Xin You saw that He Qingxiao had something on his mind, so he asked, "Does Master He want to go to the reception room for a cup of tea?"

  He Qingxiao looked at Xin You with doubts in his eyes.

  Miss Kou just drank lychee osmanthus wine.

   It seems that Aunt Gui made it—

This is impossible.

  He Qingxiao shook his head secretly, and followed Xinyou into the reception room.

   "Liu Zhou, clean up the table."

   "Come here." Hearing Xin You's order, Liu Zhou walked in quickly, and picked up the plate of crispy yellow alone with only two pieces left on the table, ready to take it away.

  He Qingxiao said: "Is this Suhuangdu?"

   Liu Zhou paused for the hand holding the plate.

   "Ah, yes." As alert as Xin You, she didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

   Can't you politely say that Mr. He wants to try the leftover dim sum?

  He Qingxiao asked calmly: "Can I have a taste?"

  Xinyou:?

   Liu Zhou looked at He Qingxiao in shock, as if he just knew this lord.

  How did Mr. He manage to say such words without changing his face!

  Xin You signaled Liu Zhou to put down the plate to be taken away, and the boy put down the plate and ran away quickly.

   "Master He also likes to eat Suhuangdu? This Suhuangdu tastes great, but it's a bit cold." Xin You considerately pushed Suhuangdu to He Qingxiao, and poured a cup of hot tea for him.

   Said it was leftovers, and the person who ate it would not eat it from the plate. Xinyou was mainly shocked that the other party was so oblivious to eating in one bite.

  Dignified Lord Hou, is life so difficult?

  Thinking like this, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

   Sure enough, those who follow that father are not having a good life.

   "I like this cake better." He Qingxiao forced a calm expression, picked up a piece of crispy yellow and ate it alone.

  He is really not such a greedy person, he just wants to make sure of one thing.

  As soon as the dim sum entered the mouth, He Qingxiao, who is naturally sensitive to smells, was almost sure: this dim sum was made by Aunt Gui.

  When making a dessert, the amount of auxiliary ingredients and the thickness and shape of the main ingredients will all cause differences in taste, and everyone who makes dim sum has their own habits.

  Then here comes the question, why did Aunt Gui's crispy yellow duo appear in the reception room of Qingsong Bookstore?

   "Is this dim sum made at Miss Kou's home, or bought?"

  Xin You looked at the only dim sum left on the plate, and didn't answer directly: "What's the matter, isn't it delicious?"

  He Qingxiao hesitated for a while, but still said: "The dim sum is delicious. I have an elder who is very good at making crispy yellow dumplings. I just tasted the taste that she made."

   If you don't say it, not only will you not be able to solve the doubts in your heart, but it will also make Ms. Kou misunderstand that he is shameless because of one bite.

  He Qingxiao thought the gain outweighed the loss, even though the person who revealed the information first would be passive, she still chose to confess.

  Elder?

  Xin You's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Does Master He know Aunt Gui?"

   Sure enough, it was Aunt Gui.

   "My elder is Aunt Gui, how did Miss Kou know her?"

   "Oh, Aunt Gui came to buy books. I happened to meet and chatted. The more we talked, the more we hit it off, and we got to know each other. Aunt Gui gave me this crispy yellow dune."

  He Qingxiao: "..." So last night, Aunt Gui suddenly made a crispy yellow solo, did she practice her hands first?

  How could Aunt Gui come to buy books? He didn't find that Aunt Gui had a hobby of reading.

   "What book did Aunt Gui buy?"

  Xin You raised her lips: "Travel Notes. Aunt Gui said that she really likes reading travel notes."

  He Qingxiao was silent.

   It's confirmed, Aunt Gui is here for Miss Kou.

  Xin You was originally free and easy, but when He Qingxiao was silent, by accident, he remembered the words of shopkeeper Hu: Could it be that some young man fell in love with his boss, and his parents and elders came to inquire about the situation?

  Master Naga—

  Xin You looked at the person opposite, subconsciously picked up the only remaining piece of crispy yellow and stuffed it into his mouth.
