Chapter 63: Cheng Guang's Reward
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man saw Chi Xiaoman at a glance, frowned, and asked.
"Chief, Chief, he, he, he is the distant relative I told you, his name is ...... It's called Koike. The mother-in-law looked nervous and said in a trembling voice.
"Grandma Sun, although the general did not reproach you, but you should go to the general's mansion is a place where you can bring people in at will? The next time there is such a situation, it will definitely be punished heavily!" the chief glared at the mother-in-law and warned.
The grandmother replied resignedly, and the manager asked, "What's the matter with his face?"
"He was not accustomed to the water and soil, he had a rash, he was afraid, he was afraid to scare people. Grandma Sun explained.
The manager was noncommittal, looked at Chi Xiaoman and asked, "You made those things called cookies?"
Chi Xiaoman glanced at his grandmother, and his grandmother looked helpless.
"You don't have to look at her, I know very well that no one in the house knows how to make pastries. The manager was expressionless, and what he said was unquestionable.
"Yes, they were indeed taught to do it. Chi Xiaoman paused and admitted.
"This is a reward from the general and the crown princess. The chief manager took out a bag of silver, which was not small, and it looked like it was forty or fifty taels.
"It's not from the General's Mansion here, give it to them, in fact, I just taught them that those cookies are still made by them. Chi Xiaoman said lightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in the manager's eyes, he had never seen anyone who would not want silver. However, he didn't force her to accept it, but really gave it directly to the mother-in-law standing behind him and let them divide it themselves.
Then he said: "The general and the crown princess are rewarded by you." You'll have to go to Shane yourself. ”
"The general and the crown princess shouldn't know that the biscuit was taught to make them, right?" Chi Xiaoman's eyebrows moved, and he saw Cheng Yin...... She's a little interested. However, she was afraid that she would meet Yu Chimu......
"But the general knew that those cookies didn't know how to make them. ”
Chi Xiaoman glanced at Grandma Sun, who nodded. She had no choice but to say: "Well, in that case, I will go and thank the general and the crown princess." ”
The manager was very surprised by the attitude of this person named Xiao Chi when he spoke, and he felt that he was not the same kind of person as Sun Pozi at all, and he naturally had a majesty when he spoke, and he believed it if he was a child of an official family. But if that's the case, why hasn't he ever heard his grandmother mention having this relative?
Those who enter the General's Mansion to do things need to be investigated, although it is not easy for distant relatives to investigate. But he was very sure that none of the nine clans of his grandmother were officials.
He had to check the identity of this kid, but for now, he had better take the people to the general and the crown princess first. Anyway, there is a big general, I believe that this kid will not dare to play any tricks.

In Ruyun Xuan, Cheng Yin was savoring the biscuits sent by her grandmother. It was the first time she had eaten such a thing, and it should even be said that it was the first time she had seen it.
The pastries she had never heard of were only cloud cakes, pine nut cakes, sesame cakes and the like, and she had never seen such a crunchy and unique fragrance. There are nuts sprinkled on the top, and some are sandwiched with fruit filling...... Something called a cookie.
But it's really special, but it's also delicious.
Cheng Guang also ate one curiously, this kind of biscuit is not very sweet. But the milky flavor is strong, and it matches the fruit filling seamlessly, even he, a big man, has to praise it.
The person who taught her grandmother and the cook to make these cookies not only made Cheng Yin eat obediently. Because I ate this cookie, I was much better, and I was able to laugh with them so comfortably. That's why he became interested in the relatives of his grandmother who suddenly appeared, and not only appreciated it. I still want to meet people.
"Mu, don't you want to eat one? It's delicious, I know you don't like sweet, but you should be able to accept this kind of biscuit. Cheng Yin smiled and handed over the porcelain plate.
When Chi Xiaoman entered Ruyun Xuan with the manager, she happened to hear Cheng Yin's voice, and she felt very uncomfortable for Cheng Yin to call Wei Chimu like this.
Even if they knew each other before, even if they were childhood sweethearts, now they are uncles and sisters-in-law, and they are both members of the royal family, so they should naturally pay attention to royal etiquette, and Cheng Yin should be called King Chi Mu Huai'an, instead of calling him by name.
Fortunately, her face was still wrapped in a cloth, and no one could see that she had gritted her teeth and looked like she wanted to kill.
Yu Chimu looked at those biscuits, and naturally thought of Chi Xiaoman, the word "biscuit" he had never heard of before, and now this thing is also called biscuits...... Could it be......
"The general, the crown princess, the prince of Huai'an, and Chi Ying, a relative of the grandmother-in-law, have been brought. The chief manager said in front of the main hall of Ruyun Xuan.
"Bring him in. Cheng Guang said.
The manager shouted like that, interrupting Wei Chimu's meditation, and he smiled at Cheng Yin and shook his head, indicating that he would not eat. He was not curious about the taste of the biscuit now, but he was curious about the person who made it.
Under the leadership of the chief manager, Chi Xiaoman stepped into the hall, and the first thing he saw was not Wei Chimu, but Cheng Yin.
Cheng Yin is really a very beautiful woman, not only beautiful, but also looks like a gentle and graceful woman, and she is not the same type of person as herself.
This kind of woman is really quite in line with this era, and she is the ideal object for all men in this era, right?
She was not surprised that Yu Chimu would like such a woman, but she ...... He is her person now, and she will not allow him to have another woman in his heart!
"In Xia Chiying, meet the crown princess, the king of Huai'an, and General Cheng. Chi Xiaoman saluted them one by one, but he didn't kneel or call them grass people, but just bowed slightly.
Yu Chimu looked at the person in front of him, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
This person behaves calmly, is not frightened in the face of them, is neither humble nor arrogant, and is not like ordinary ordinary people. Although he was dressed in men's clothes, his face was covered again, and his voice was indistinguishable, he had a feeling that the person in front of him was Chi Xiaoman.
Wei Chimu has an extremely delicate and keen mind, and has been with Chi Xiaoman for several months, and he knows her personality quite well, even if a person's appearance is different, but it is quite difficult to completely change his temperament, personality, tone of speech, and manners.
Cheng Yin and Cheng Guang were very surprised by Chi Ying's appearance. It's not that they think he's rude, and they don't like to put on a high posture. The kind of person who makes people kneel at every turn. It's just that I feel extraordinary about Chi Ying's bearing.
"No respect...... Cheng Yin asked with concern with a gentle smile on her face, "What's wrong with your face?"
"Thank you for your concern. It's just that the water and soil are not adapted, and the rash will be fine, and it will be fine in a few days. "Chi Xiaoman's lie is really getting smoother and smoother the more he tells it. However, Cheng Yin's concern for her surprised her a little, Cheng Yin's concern was sincere, not suspicious of her dress, nor a casual greeting.
Only now did she realize that she didn't know much about Cheng Yin, and although the past of Cheng Yin and Wei Chimu on the letter was explained in detail, a very important paragraph was missing.
Only now did she remember. The letter did not mention the relationship between Cheng Yin and the prince, only said that because of Cheng Shangshu, Cheng Yin was asked to marry the prince and give up Wei Chimu, and then mentioned that now Cheng Yin and Wei Chimu meet again, and the old relationship is revived.
If Cheng Yin is a woman with water-based poplars, and she abandons her relationship with Yu Chimu because she fell in love with the prince, with Yu Chimu's personality, she should not still interact with her, or even defend her like this. Not to mention the broken threads.
But if she didn't fall in love with the prince but was forced...... Did Wei Chimu feel sorry for Cheng Yin because she knew that she was forced to marry the prince?
What was going on between them back then?
Chi Xiaoman glanced at Chi Mu, and wanted to take a good look at him, but saw that he was looking at him with a smile. was so shocked that his heart jumped suddenly, so he had to pretend that he was just looking at him inadvertently, and turned his face away.
Was he suspicious of her? or ...... Don't you recognize her?
It's all wrapped up like this. And deliberately suppress his voice to speak, and deliberately imitate the man's walking posture, can you still recognize it? Is there such a god?
But was he really angry? The jade bracelet was broken...... Would he logically think that there would be a break between them?
If that's the case. Didn't he push Wei Chimu to Cheng Yin?
No, no, no, no. Cheng Yin is the crown princess! Yu Chimu won't be so stupid, the prince is worried that he doesn't know how to deal with him, he won't dig a hole for himself to jump!
If Na Xin is really the prince's conspiracy, does Cheng Yin know about it? What role does she play in this......? And what do you think?
Chi Xiaoman found that she was so conflicted, this time she was really unconfident, because there were too many things that she couldn't figure out and couldn't master, she had to find a chance to explore Cheng Yin!
"I heard from Grandma Sun, are you from the south? This kind of biscuit practice was also learned in your hometown in the south?" Cheng Guang looked at the remaining biscuits on the plate and asked with interest.
"Oh, yes. Chi Xiaoman came back to his senses and nodded in reply.
"I heard that you want to go to the teahouse to do things? I think you might as well stay in the General's Mansion, you can't earn a few silver by going to the teahouse to be a pastry chef, and I will give you ten taels a month when you are here." Cheng Guang said.
Leaving Chi Ying is not entirely for this cookie, but he is a little interested in Chi Ying himself, looking at his coping temperament, he always feels that he should be a talent, and maybe it will be useful to him in the future.
"Thank you for the general's kindness, but I have no intention of staying in the general's mansion, it is more convenient to enter and exit the teahouse, and you can also learn from other masters. Chi Xiaoman was not afraid of annoying Cheng Guang at all, and said bluntly.
"Hahaha!good!" Cheng Guangda smiled, "Good, good, backbone, then I can't force it, you can stay in the house until you find the teahouse you want to go to." ”
"General Xie. Chi Xiaoman thanked him, secretly saying that it was dangerous, and then hurriedly said: "Can I retire first?" She didn't want to stay here for long, she always felt that Wei Chimu's eyes were on her, and she didn't know whether she was suspicious of her, or if she had already recognized her.
Cheng Guang nodded, but Cheng Yin suddenly said, "You...... Can you still make some biscuits for dinner? It's okay if it's inconvenient, you're not from the General's Mansion, so you don't have to make these ......."
"The crown princess, since she is temporarily living in the General's Mansion, she naturally can't help but do things, and she will personally deliver biscuits of different flavors at dinner. Chi Xiaoman said.
Cheng Yin looked quite happy, and said to Wei Chimu: "Then you don't have to worry about me, don't come to stare at me for dinner, eat with my brother, I will eat obediently." ”
Yu Chi Mu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chi Xiaoman, and then said to Cheng Yin with a smile: "This is very good, I should really thank this little brother for making cookies, which can make you have a great appetite." ”
Chi Xiaoman didn't know if he meant anything else in his words, but she didn't want to have any contact with him at this moment! ”
"Sir, take this little brother to the account office to get some silver. Cheng Guang instructed Manager Fang, who had been standing aside.
Chi Xiaoman followed the manager and left.
Yu Chimu looked at Chi Xiaoman's back thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
