At the end of July, when the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Zhiruo has added a series of crystal cakes made with lotus root powder as the main ingredient to the dim sum recipe, such as crystal osmanthus sugar cake, crystal mung bean cake, crystal rose soup, etc., which were immediately warmly welcomed by everyone. With this unique crystal powder, Zhiruo believes that Rudong and Xia's sister-in-law will be able to make more tricks, this summer is enough, and another good thing, horseshoe powder, will wait until next year.

The lotus root flour can be eaten directly with boiling water, and then add some osmanthus sugar and white sesame seeds. On this day, the three of them were sitting in the pavilion by the lotus pond in the Plum Blossom Temple, enjoying the lotus while tasting the chilled cool lotus root jelly. Speaking of ice, Zhiruo has to sigh that this time and space has had ice-making technology for a long time, just right, hehe, she won't.

Zhixuan ate very happily: "Eldest sister, how do you know that the roots of the lotus flower can still make such a delicious thing?" The lotus flower is beautiful, the lotus seeds are delicious, I didn't expect that the rhizome of the lotus flower now, uh, the lotus root can be eaten. She not only likes to eat this lotus root powder, but also likes the lotus root clip made by the eldest sister herself.

Zhiruo smiled: "The eldest sister used to read a book about making food, and it was mentioned in it. The eldest sister used to only think that where could I eat the things buried in the black mud? I didn't take it to heart, but now we have some snacks, of course, the rarer the food, the better, but don't you think of letting you try it. ”

Yin Zhihui felt a faint sadness in her heart, yes, the eldest sister used to be very pampered, where would she care about those things? Now, if you don't have to worry about making a living, you won't think of this lotus rhizome under the mud.

"Second sister, what do you want, you want to be in a daze?" Although Zhixuan is young and lively, she is very sensitive and has a very keen five senses.

"It's nothing," Zhihui smiled, "Big Brother and Hui'er will definitely like this lotus root powder, and I don't know when they will come back." "Men of their father's line have two things in common in their diet that are different from most men, one is that they are allergic to alcohol, and the other is that they are very fond of sweets.

The sisters were talking about where Ming Ze and the others were, and Xique smiled and came over with a letter: "Girl, the two young masters have come back with a letter from the Shunfeng Dart Bureau." ”

"Letter?" Zhiruo put down the spoon and happily took the letter that Ruchun handed over after narrowing his mouth, "I'm still thinking about it, these two guys who have no conscience forget about their family as soon as they go out, and they don't know how to send a letter back." ”

Ruchun said with a smile: "How is it possible? The eldest young master is the most careful, if the second young master goes out alone, it is really possible to forget it, and he will not remember it until he comes back." ”

Zhiruo snorted, pointed at Ruchun and shook his head with a smile. Not to mention, there is really that possibility, it's not that Minghui really forgot, but Minghui is the laziest to write an article, isn't writing a letter also a kind of writing an article?

Zhihui and the others couldn't help laughing, as if they all thought of Minghui's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks as soon as he wrote an article. Only Xiao Zhixuan strongly supported the second brother: "No, the second brother said that he would write down any interesting things and tell me, just like I went myself." As he spoke, he stared at Zhiruo with bright eyes and took out the letter, and sure enough, it was two pieces of paper folded separately, and it was obvious that the two brothers had written one each, and raised his chin proudly, as if to say: Look!

Zhiruo was also curious, so he opened the thin one first, and at first glance it was a small piece of paper, which must have been written by Minghui.

The words are not bad, but there are less than five crosses: eldest sister, Hui'er, Xuan'er, how are you? Let's go all the way, don't read it! Xuan'er, the second brother remembers all the interesting things, and I will go back and tell you in detail.

After reading it, Zhiruo held back a smile and handed the letter to Zhixuan, who looked disappointed and angry: "Your second brother hasn't forgotten what Jì promised us Xuan'er." From the beginning, the lazy boy promised to "speak", not "write". However, this time Zhixuan lost face, and Minghui's sister was afraid that she would have to trouble coaxing her sister after she came back, hehe.

Ming Ze wrote two pieces of paper, briefly describing some of the things he had seen and heard on the road, saying that he had already arrived in Changzhou when he wrote this letter, and he would be able to reach Haicheng where Qi Haotian was located in six or seven days. However, Shi Xin and Qi Haotian had already gotten the itinerary of the old man in the middle of the mountain, and the brothers and sisters came to greet them in person, and it is estimated that they will meet on the way the next day.

What Ming Ze didn't expect was that one of the things he mentioned in the letter caused Zhiruo to think deeply, and he met the niece of the old man in the middle of the mountain halfway, that is, Su Kang's cousin and niece?

Zhiruo shook her head, not that she was too suspicious, not that she was not sympathetic, but that it was too coincidental! Although there have been many bizarre coincidences from ancient times to the present, the experience of modern shopping malls and the tragic encounters in her previous life have made her have to be vigilant and vigilant against all coincidences and encounters related to her or the people around her.

It's a pity that in her previous life, she hadn't heard much about Su Kang and the old man in the middle of the mountain, except that she knew that Su Kang later became a princess and was highly valued by the emperor, and she didn't know what relatives Su Kang and the old man in the middle of the mountain had around and what had happened. Hehe, that's not all, there's a lot she doesn't know. At that time, for her, who had never left the mansion since she entered the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion, the only pitiful channel that could "hear" about the outside world was only Qiu Yiran's occasional mention when she showed off herself, and Rudong's inquiry.

"Eldest sister, is there anything wrong?" Zhihui wondered, the eldest sister read the letter well, and read it to them interestingly, and when she saw the end, why did she suddenly frown?

"Oh, no," Zhiruo came back from his senses and handed the letter over with a smile, "Now, see for yourselves, what's wrong?" I just suddenly thought of something, and I wanted to remind Brother Cunyi. ”

"I'll come, I'll come" Zhixuan excitedly stretched out her hand, she now recognized a lot of words. No, Bai Xue on the side suddenly stretched out his head, grabbed the letter first, and turned around and ran away, angry that Xuan chased and muttered: "Stinky Bai Xue! Stingy Bai Xue! Don't you eat a piece of lotus root clip?

Looking at the one person and one dog who were vindictive, Zhiruo laughed out loud, and Zhihui rubbed her stomach that hurt from laughter: "I don't know where my eldest brother got this white snow, ghostly and ghostly, like a villain, he will be angry, coquettish, and retaliate against people, haha." ”

Rudong even laughed out of tears: "What's more, it will still set people, last time ......"

Yu Dayong didn't come alone this time, but brought two boxes, no, it should be said that two women dressed in black came. Both of them are sixteen or seventeen years old, with round faces and bumpy figures, real delicate and childish faces and devilish figures.

When the two of them came out of the box and knelt down to salute her, Zhiruo knew that they were in good shape. I don't know what soft body skills they practiced, they are all very tall people, they can be rolled up in such a small box, and they are very nimble when they stand up, and there is no adverse reaction at all.

"They are twins," Yu Dayong introduced, "the purple belt is the elder sister, called Luoying, who wields the whip, and the silver belt is the younger sister Luoshuang, who uses the soft sword on her waist, in addition to their usual weapons, they are very skilled in using our hidden weapons." In the future, the two of them will be Qi Mubai's personal maids, and they will be secret guards on weekdays, protecting you in the dark. ”

"Get up," Zhiruo nodded with satisfaction, she believed in her sixth sense, especially the people who had to get along day and night, and the two sisters, looking at it, fit her eyes, and there was no discomfort. As for martial arts temperament or something, it is unreliable, Li Da and Yu Dayong will not pick it out and send it to her.

"We won't go out in two or three, you just need to familiarize yourself with my habits or something," Zhiruo's voice was soft, but it could make Sister Luoying feel a majesty that could not be ignored, "You go out with Ruchun first, she will arrange it for you, and you can tell her if you need anything." Except for me, what you will come into contact with in Zhuangzi is such as spring and winter. ”

"Yes, master. Luo Ying and the two responded in unison and followed Ruchun out.

"Twins, Brother Cunyi, where did you get such a pair of sister flowers?" Zhiruo couldn't help but get excited, "Isn't it cool that Pianpian Jia Gongzi has a pair of beautiful and spicy sister flowers?

Yu Dayong looked at Zhiruo with a longing look on his face: "Big sister, aren't you afraid that Qi Mubai will be too popular and get into trouble with the obsessive rotten peach blossoms? "Does this eldest sister really think of herself as some kind of handsome son, Qi Mubai?

Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, and then winked playfully: "Don't worry, women like beautiful men who don't eat fireworks in the world, and they don't look down on a layman like Qi Mubai who drills in the eyes of money." ”

For the first time, Yu Dayong saw Zhiruo's naughty and childish side, and shook his head helplessly: "You! No matter what, you must be careful when you go out." "Since he and Li Da have agreed to Qi Mubai's affairs, and everyone has arranged it, they can only do this, but fortunately, they know Zhiruo's skills in their hearts, as well as those powerful secret weapons.

Zhiruo responded obediently: "Brother Yi rest assured." "Without the two righteous brothers who support her unconditionally, it is difficult for her, Qi Mubai, to laugh and be proud of the rivers and lakes and make a lot of money.

Yu Dayong nodded: "As for the prelude of Qi Mubai, the descendant of the Qi family, it has been sung in the South China Sea now, and all aspects have begun to prepare, maybe Mingze and Minghui will be able to hear some news before they come back." Four months ago, he rescued a couple and their little grandson who had been framed by outsiders in collusion with their clansmen, and the kind couple had saved him two years ago when he was out on a mission. He wanted to observe for a while and then secretly guide them to go to Meizhuang, knowing that if they want to make a lot of money, they don't need to be businessmen?

After knowing the plan to change his identity and do big business, Yu Dayong was very glad that he had not "instructed" the two of them to go north to Meizhuang, just so that they went to Qi Mubai. Now the Qi Mansion on the other side of the South China Sea is building a lot of construction, buying land and people, all of which are being done by the big housekeepers Tong Shu and Aunt Tong. And Uncle Tong's only five-year-old grandson was taken by him to learn martial arts, and Uncle Tong's biggest wish to escape from his hometown incognito with his little grandson is that his little grandson Tongzi will be able to avenge his father and mother who died in the future.

Zhiruo's eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, it is easy to have two righteous brothers who are so capable, as long as she thinks of it, they can do it. What Zhiruo didn't expect was that Li Da and Yu Dayong thought exactly the opposite of her: there is such a righteous sister, this is a lot of pressure, and everything they think of is what they can't think of, and they can't do it if they don't work hard!

There was a lot of joy in Meizhuang, but several masters of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, especially Qiu Yiran, were very depressed, and the rich profits of the drunken incense shop did not diminish this depression. What did he do his best to curry favor with the Ning family and the Ding family? Wasn't it just to get an official position that could show his face and make it easy to accumulate merits? In that way, he could slowly lead the Qiu family to the top. In the final analysis, power can have a qiē, including silver, and only silver cannot buy power.

Originally, it was quite smooth, and it seemed that they were all walking according to his plan, but he didn't expect the front foot to pay for the Niu family to send Ruxia to the Ning family, and the Ding family on the back foot sent someone to deliver the letter, and the emperor had decided to let the British prince Pan Jiaming go to Los Angeles as the minister of the Qin mission, and be fully responsible for the Baieling gold mine and Xishan Horse Farm, and there was nothing to do with the Ning family. The Ding family also said that Pan Shizi was deeply favored and favored by the emperor and the queen, and he had face-to-face friendships with several princes, including the crown prince, and treated them equally. And in order to avoid suspicion, it is not easy for the prince to directly ask Pan Shizi for an official position for someone from his faction, and the gold mine and Xishan Horse Farm are too sensitive.

In the whole of Los Angeles, except for the "sensitive" positions of the Baieling Gold Mine and the Xishan Racecourse, only the chair of the prefect's yamen interested him, but is it possible? Originally, he still thought that as long as the third master of the Ning family was in charge of the gold mine, and the Ding family helped in Beijing, it would not be difficult for him to find a position with real power in the gold mine or the horse farm. But now, he wants to curry favor with a gentleman who is younger than him?

People are more popular than people, they are all literate, they are all heirs to the title of the family, but Pan Jiaming is the nephew of the queen's mother, and he can still enter the eyes of the emperor with the title of "the head of the three tyrants in the capital", and he is given such an important errand, where is he worse than a gentleman?

The old marquis sighed and put a copy of the information about Pan Jiaming in front of Qiu Yiran: "Take a good look, the Ning family and the Ding family are not in vain, and they will be used later." Fortunately, people like Pan Shizi should be easy to deal with, he likes to play, you just play with him. It's just that there is one thing to pay attention to, it doesn't matter if he goes to get a woman by himself, you don't have to work hard in this regard, if you offend the queen, everything will be empty. According to the information he received, someone once tried to lure Pan Shizi to the first flower building in the capital, but the end was very bleak, and I don't know who was pitted.

Qiu Yiran was stunned for a moment, if he didn't play with women, was that still a? He still wanted to use the skinny horses he had carefully raised to get Pan Jiaming.

Picking up the information and flipping through it quickly, Qiu Yiran smiled bitterly: "Do you like horse running and hunting the most?"

Qiu Yanran is the only concubine of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, she has always been pampered by the Ji family before, she doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and refuses to learn female red embroidery, but she likes to run horses, wearing bright red riding clothes and galloping on horseback, which is her most proud. Not to mention, she still has a different style like that.

As soon as Qiu Yiran thought of Qiu Yanran, Qiu Yanran, who was still grounded by Mrs. Qiu, actually appeared by the door: "Dad, big brother, I can help you, but you have to return my 'Red Flame' to me first, and then let Aunt Xiu make a few sets of riding clothes for me, by the way, you can't comb these complicated buns while riding a horse, you can help me buy a few latest gold crowns and jade crowns." ”

Old Marquis Qiu's father and son were stunned for a moment, and understood that Qiu Yanran would not want to ...... R1152
