Chapter 64: The Eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival
Before the full moon, there is always a shortage.
The original small bun shop in Yanggu has become a well-known shop in the whole county, especially the egg scones and scallion pancakes in that store, which are called delicious, it can be said that they are so delicious that they are in short supply, and they are about to die of exhaustion.
Juan became the treasurer of the shopkeeper and was stuffed into the kitchen all day long, in addition to making cakes and cakes. Although he was tired all day and couldn't straighten his waist, Ju An still liked his current life, especially with the help of the shopkeeper, after he rented a small courtyard not far from the bun shop, he liked life with six little beggars even more.
Although the yard was small, Juan felt very warm, and he had never experienced a feeling of stability in his heart like now. He was actually still worried that Ximen Qing would come to him, because this place was not far from Qinghe. After running around Ximenqing for so many years, he knows Ximenqing's temperament and temperament well, and a person who must repay him must still be looking for himself.
Of course, Ju An still couldn't understand one thing, why Wu Dalang saved him regardless of his previous suspicions and taught him to make cakes, but in the end he didn't mention any conditions. The relationship between him and Wu Dalang is not bitter and bitter, and it can be regarded as an enemy. He is still very grateful to Wu Dalang, he thinks he is a good person.
"Jue An, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, you have to work hard," the shopkeeper said to Jue An after taking a sip of tea with a smile.
"The little one understands, I'll make the cake," Juan replied respectfully.
Although this shopkeeper has been squeezing him like a vampire, Juan is also very grateful to him, at least this shopkeeper has given him a chance and helped him a lot.
"Well, I have to hurry up, Qinghe's Ximen Mansion sent someone to order two hundred egg scones, saying that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it didn't seem like it was going to be a few days......"
Hearing Qinghe Ximen Mansion, Jue An's heartbeat suddenly seemed to stop beating, and he was stunned, and then he didn't listen to the rest of the shopkeeper's words.
"Go make the cake, hurry up"
The shopkeeper saw that Ju'an didn't react, frowned, and shouted again, "Ju'an, Ju'an?"
"Huh?"
"What do you think?"
"No, it's nothing, the shopkeeper, I, I'll make the cake first" After saying that, Juan turned around and went out, forgetting to say goodbye to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper doesn't care about Ju'an's rudeness, as long as Ju'an can make cakes for him, Ju'an is a baby, but he should find a way to get the secret recipe for making cakes from Ju'an's hands, and the shopkeeper's intuition that Ju'an's cakes are delicious has a secret recipe.
Qinghe Ximen Mansion
Ximen Qing lay comfortably on the recliner, the sheng flute pinched his shoulders, some of the other maids beat his legs, and some fed him grapes, snacks, etc., which was very comfortable.
"How's it going, did you find it?"
"Return, go back to the master, yet, not yet" The scholar replied resignedly, although he had replaced Ju'an, but his status was very different, no one took him seriously, even Ximenqing didn't seem to like him so much, so when answering Ximenqing's words, he was still a little afraid.
"What are you doing to eat, it's been two months, and I haven't found it yet" Ximen Qing's originally comfortable face was instantly clouded. After Ling Ling and Wu Song disappeared, he sent people to find them, how could the dignified Ximen officials have revenge and not take revenge.
"The person who went to Yanggu County to inquire said that Wu Song also resigned as the head of the capital, and they didn't know where he went" The scholar lowered his head, not daring to raise it in the slightest, he knew that Ximenqing was angry, and he didn't dare to provoke Ximenqing now.
"When did this happen?"
"Poor, almost two months ago" The scholar felt his back wet and sweaty.
Ximenqing waved his hand, then sat up, staring at the trembling scholar.
"It's been two months, and there are more than two, why do you say it now?" asked Ximenqing sharply.
Poof, Juan knelt down and kowtowed, "The old man is angry, the old man is angry, the little one sees that the old man has been busy, so I want to wait for someone to find it and then give the old man an errand, but I didn't expect ......"
"What about Ju'an?" Ximen Qing was already pale.
"Also, not yet, I haven't found it" The scholar still kowtowed his head "dong dong", and didn't dare to stop at all.
Ximenqing grabbed the tea bowl next to him and threw it at the scholar, the tea bowl hit the scholar's head and fell to the ground and shattered, but the tea still poured the scholar's head, fortunately the tea was not too hot, and the scholar could still hold back and dare not speak.
"Get out, get out of here"
"Hurry up and find me"
The scholar and the maid all hurriedly retreated as if they were fleeing, but they were very cautious when they left, for fear of accidentally angering Ximenqing, even if they were not dead, they would have to peel off their skin.
Sheng Xiao didn't go out, "Master, dissipate your anger, why are you so angry, your body is important" Sheng Xiao said while bringing over a bowl of tea and handing it to Ximen Qinghou, and consciously began to rub his shoulders.
Slowly, Ximenqing seemed to be a little relieved, leaning on the recliner and slowly falling asleep, Sheng Xiao was still pinching his shoulders, but he didn't know what he was thinking about a little carelessly.
Yuehong, the fourth lady who has not gone out for a long time, seems to have disappeared in Ximen Mansion, finally opened the door. Yuehong looks very good, and after becoming a lady, she is even more delicate, but now Yuehong is pale and has lost a lot of weight, as if she has just recovered from a serious illness.
Taking a deep breath, Yuehong slowly walked out of Ximen Mansion, without attracting the attention of the people in the mansion. Soon, Yuehong blended into the noisy crowd, and almost no one noticed her.
For almost two months, Yuehong seemed to have figured out one thing, she couldn't live like a walking corpse, although she seemed to have no worries about food and clothing now, but think about Yuexiang, and then look at the eldest lady, she didn't want to die suddenly and inexplicably, and then she was quietly carried out of Ximen Mansion, and finally didn't know where to throw it.
"Girl, do you want to see a doctor or take medicine?" Seeing Yuehong, who was dressed like a beautiful girl, come in, a junior second greeted her.
"I'm looking for your shopkeeper"
"Looking for our shopkeeper, I wonder what is the matter with you, girl?"
Yuehong didn't want to waste too much with this little er, so she handed over more than a dozen copper plates.
Sure enough, after the copper plate was handed over, Xiao Er looked around, quickly grabbed the copper plate and hid it, and at first glance, he had done it like this.
"Then girl, wait a minute, I'll go and find the shopkeeper" Xiao Er's face was full of smiles, this is the service that more than a dozen copper plates should have.
"No need, take me there"
"Your side please"
……
After about a cup of tea, Yuehong walked out of the pharmacy called Heshengtang, and then walked to the nearest pharmacy. Yuehong's face was still calm, and she couldn't see joy and sorrow.
