Chapter 213: The Fourth Day of the First Month
On the fourth day of the new year, as soon as the sky was bright, Ruogu arrived at Zhuangzi, with hoarfrost in his hair, and people were frozen like popsicles, and he came overnight. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Uncle, the whereabouts of the second master have been found. He lowered his voice and said to Qin Jue.
"Is it still near the capital?" Qin Jue sent Zhang Changchun to check Qin Lang's whereabouts, and the news came so quickly, which meant that Qin Lang did not go far.
Ruogu said softly: "The second master is in Baoding Mansion, he uses the name of the third master, and borrows 1,000 taels of silver from the second master's classmate Zhao Bainian Mansion, Zhao Bainian muttered a little, so he didn't give him the silver immediately, but on the grounds of the New Year, he left him in the mansion while sending someone to the capital to find the second master. The people of the Zhao family happened to meet Zhang Changchun in the official post, and heard that Zhang Changchun was a member of the Qin family in Jiuzhi Hutong, and thought that he was going to Baoding Mansion to find the third master, but he took the initiative to come over to talk, and Zhang Changchun knew that something was wrong. When Zhang Changchun left Beijing, the third master was still in the mansion, and it was the New Year's holiday, so how could the second master let the third master go to Baoding? Zhang Changchun guessed that it was the second master who was in the Zhao family, so he asked him to come back to report the news, and he told the people of the Zhao family that he had come to pick up the third master on the orders of the second master, so he went to Baoding Mansion with the people of the Zhao family. I'm afraid you'll have something to say, so I'll let the boy who came to deliver the letter come with me, and I'll be waiting outside. ”
Qin Jue snorted: "How can such an excuse deceive Qin Lang? When Zhang Changchun arrived at the Zhao family, Qin Lang should have already run away." has the lesson of Zhaojia, he should not dare to borrow money from acquaintances in the name of Qin Ying anymore, and it will be even more difficult to find him in the future. You go to have breakfast, go back to Beijing with me tomorrow, let that kid take a break and go to Baoding, let Zhang Changchun stabilize the Zhaojia no matter what, and don't let the second uncle know that I am looking for Qin Lang. ”
Ruogu retreated, Qin Jue thought about it, and asked people to find Bai Jiuniang.
He said to Bai Jiuniang: "I will go back to the capital tomorrow, and I won't be able to come over until the Shangyuan Festival, you must protect Miss Luo, if she has any mistakes, you can go back to the river." ”
Bai Jiuniang's face changed greatly, and she bent her knees and said: "Uncle, if you hadn't saved me back then, I would have been designed by my step-nephew, how could I have lived to this day? ”
Qin Jue nodded and said, "If someone is unfavorable to Miss Luo, you don't need to ask me, just do what Miss Luo instructs, even if it is someone from the Qin family, the same is true." ”
Bai Jiuniang was a little strange, the uncle called her over, and told her in a solemn tone, is it because he is worried that the people of the Qin family will deal with Miss Luo?
She didn't dare to ask more, she nodded yes, Qin Jue didn't want Luo Jinyan to misunderstand that he was looking for Bai Jiuniang to find out the news, so she didn't say anything more, so she waved her hand and let Bai Jiuniang retreat.
Bai Jiuniang returned to the small courtyard where Luo Jinyan lived, and saw that Luo Jinyan was asking the maids to take things, which were all clothes, shoes and socks that the maids had sewn for the master for a while.
Luo Shao's clothes were made by needlework, but there was nothing to do on Xianghe's side, so Luo Jinyan asked the maids to sew a few clothes, shoes and socks for his father, and made two for Li Qingfeng.
Luo Jinyan already knew that Bai Jiuniang was going to see Qin Jue, so she remained silent and continued to talk and laugh with the maids.
When the maids took the baggage of the clothes and sent them to the front, Luo Jinyan sat at the kang table and drank tea, Bai Jiuniang came over and said respectfully: "Uncle Fang Cai called me over and told me to protect you well, if you encounter someone who is not good for you, even if it is the Qin family, you don't need to ask him, let me do what you ask." ”
Luo Jinyan slowly put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at her, and said lightly: "Do you know how to make dumplings?"
Bai Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why Luo Jinyan asked her like this, she replied calmly: "I can make dumplings, although I am not good at being a woman, but things on the stove are not difficult for me. ”
Luo Jinyan pursed his lips and smiled: "Then you must also make jujube mille-feuille cake and noodles hedgehog?"
"Yes, it will", speaking of this, Bai Jiuniang sighed and said strangely, "The eldest lady grew up in the capital, and she also knows the jujube mille-feuille cake between our rivers?"
Luo Jinyan said with a smile: "I ate it when I was a child, and I also want my father to taste it, but no one in the capital does this, and they don't." ”
Bai Jiuniang said with a smile: "Then I'll go to the stove to do it, I'm afraid that the craftsmanship is not good, and it is not in line with the taste of the master and the eldest lady." ”
"It's okay, you can do it again if it doesn't suit your taste. Luo Jinyan smiled.
In her previous life, she was also from Hejian, and she had only eaten jujube mille-feuille cake once, one year during the Chinese New Year, her father brought back a piece of jujube mille-feuille cake from outside, and watched her eat it, her face smiled like a flower, and her father told her that she would let her mother make a hedgehog for her during the New Year next year.
But before she waited for next year, she was taken away by her uncle, dressed in fine clothes and food, and ate all the snacks in the capital, but she never ate these again.
It's just that Luo Jinyan didn't expect that this jujube mille-feuille cake would be so big.
The straw tray of the foot can only put a jujube mille-feuille cake, although there is no mille-feuille, there are more than a dozen layers, and it is a ruler high, on the top of the mille-feuille cake are six small hedgehogs with ingots, the eyes of the hedgehog are made of black beans, and the thorns are cut out of the body, which is cute and cute.
Luo Jinyan said with a smile: "What I have eaten before is just a cut piece, but it turns out to be so big." ”
The maids were also amazed, they had never seen such a big pastry.
Luo Jinyan rewarded Bai Jiuniang with a red gold crested hairpin, Bai Jiuniang thanked her, and the moment she took the crested hairpin, she felt that she had finally become the person next to the eldest lady.
Luo Jinyan didn't have lunch, he waited for his father, and Luo Shao didn't rush to Zhuangzi until after noon.
As soon as he entered Zhuangzi, he saw his daughter waiting for him inside the gate without suspicion, he only felt that his nose was sour, and he reprimanded with tears: "Silly boy, the weather is so cold, why don't you wait in the house, Daddy said that he would come today, and he will definitely come." ”
He looked his daughter up and down, and saw that although she was a little thinner than in the capital, her face was red with protein, her skin was blown up, and she was healthy, and her heart that had been hanging finally let go.
Li Qingfeng and Qin Jue came over to greet him, and when they saw that Li Qingfeng had let Qin Jue and Luo Jinyan wait for him here, they knew that Li Qingfeng must have let the two children look at each other in advance.
I don't know if I regret falling in love with Qin Jue?
Luo Shao's gaze swept over Qin Jue's face, and he asked quietly, "Is Yuzhang's illness better?"
Qin Jue said respectfully: "The junior just drank a few more glasses, and it was no big deal, Li Gongzi saw that the weather was cold and frozen, and he didn't worry about letting me go back to Beijing, so he stayed with me for two more days, and when Uncle Shi returned to Beijing tomorrow, I will go back with you." ”
not only easily talked about this matter, but also took the opportunity to promote Li Qingfeng. (To be continued.) )
