"No, you two should rest early, why are you busy going to someone tomorrow, Dad will go back when he goes." Shen Chenghou shook his head and insisted very much.

Qixi didn't have to follow anymore, she also felt that her father was honest and afraid of being bullied, but if she knew what she should say and do, then others wouldn't want to take advantage of it.

Shen Chenghou was just about to leave, Jing Sheng suddenly said again: "By the way, mother, when the eldest uncle left, I went to see it with Chu Lu, afraid that she would take something from our family, and saw her standing next to a carriage and saying something to people, and then walked away happily, and the people in the carriage also looked at our shop for a long time." ”

"When?" When Qixi heard her second brother say this, she suddenly remembered that someone had inquired about her family at the entrance of the village before, so she hurriedly told her family as well.

"Our old Shen family is from outside this village, where do you know the old man? Besides, you can't find our house even if you look for it. Shen Chenghou felt strange when he heard his children say this.

"Xu is recognized by our father, how do we know anyone." Li felt that it should be none of his business.

Qixi glanced at her second brother, if this really has nothing to do with her family, why did that person ask Aunt Lin about her family in such detail, and found the shop when she turned around, although she was not sure that it was the same person at this time, but she always felt that it should be no worse.

"Don't think about it, you guys should rest quickly, if you really look for our family, you will come to the door sooner or later, it's useless for us to think about it." Shen Chenghou thought about it, got up and put on the big padded jacket, "I'm going, Wen'er will come and hang the door, and turn back to wait for the door for my father." ”

Shen Chenghou went to the old mansion by himself. I don't know when I will come back to Tanabata. Because she went to bed early. When I got up the next day, I didn't see anything wrong with her father's expression, and I felt that I shouldn't have suffered any losses.

But she is not as relieved as her father, but now there is nothing to be alarmist, but last night a few children discussed, the sisters at home should pay more attention, and they will be more attentive to Jingwen Jingsheng in the shop, and if there are any sneaky people, they should be more careful. Who knows who Lu Dao is, in case he has a crooked mind under the guise of an old acquaintance.

Sent away early in the morning to pick up the food, Li took the children to the town to help, Qixi and Yunduo packed up and waited at home, Shen Chenghou naturally stayed, the two children in the family were going to help in a big family, how could he rest assured if he didn't send it in person.

It didn't take long for the Xu family to come, but I didn't expect it to be Rongyou who came to pick them up.

The little fat man got out of the carriage neatly, first greeted Shen Chenghou, and then stood still and looked at Qixi and said, "Brother Tianci stays at home to entertain guests." ”

This is the first time I have heard Rongyou call Xu Tianci brother on Qixi Festival. looked at his little face that was obviously pink but always cold, and explained this sentence carefully. Qixi felt funny, and replied with a smile: "That's hard for you." ”

Rong You's face turned red, and he looked at this little girl who still needed to look down with a somewhat complicated expression, he felt that it shouldn't be his heart, after a few contacts, why did he always feel that this little girl treated him as a child?

But how is this possible, except for his grandfather and his father and mother at home, no one is afraid of him outside, even his cousin does not dare to provoke him easily, so he is not afraid of him at all, but this little girl is not afraid of him at all, and now talking to him seems to be coaxing him, which makes him feel very weird.

Looked at the side uncomfortably, and after a pause, Rong You turned around, the flush on his face went down a little, and he said, "Ready?" ”

"Ready." Qixi understood what he was asking, and replied very cheerfully, reaching out and rummaging back and forth in front of him, indicating that it was okay to pass with these hands, and pointed to the baskets of vegetables behind him, "The dishes are all right." ”

"Please." Rong You leaned over to take a look, and several baskets of vegetables could be seen to be freshly picked, and they looked extremely fresh, so he staggered a step and asked a few people to get into the car.

It was still early to come out, and there was no one in the town in the morning of winter, and the father and daughter sat in the carriage, and as soon as the carriage was bumpy, they couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, but the spirit of the clouds was all here, and they kept saying that they didn't know what the Xufu was like.

The town is not very big, and soon arrived at Xu's Mansion, Shen Chenghou followed and got out of the car, originally thought that it would be from the side door or the back door or something like that, but he didn't want the door to be open, in addition to Rong You personally coming to pick it up, there was an old housekeeper waiting at the door, and when he saw a few people getting out of the car and hurriedly coming over to greet him.

Qixi only then knew that the guest had arrived early in the morning, and was talking to the old man of the Xu family, the door was open and waiting for her, saying that this was specially ordered by the young master, but it made Qixi a little embarrassed, she was not so particular, she came to help and helped, where did she need to be so excited.

Hurriedly let her father take the carriage back to his own shop, Qixi and the second sister followed into the Xu Mansion, went directly to the kitchen, and then stayed at the door, I am afraid that the entire Xu Mansion will come to know them.

Follow Rong You and Steward Xu to move forward, Qixi felt that the second sister dragged her, and looked back at the second sister's expression to know what she meant, Qixi is also the same feeling, Xu's mansion is indeed very big, even if the Xu family is in Fucheng, she didn't expect that there would be such a big house in the town, and what is even more rare is that in the north of the very atmospheric house, the pavilions and pavilions of the Xu family seem quite exquisite, if it is in the summer when the flowers and trees are sparse, I am afraid that there will be a little bit of Jiangnan scenery.

On the way to the kitchen, I met a lot of servants, and Rong You and Xu Steward avoided the side after seeing each other and waited for them to go before continuing to walk, looking at the rules, Qixi is nothing, but the clouds seem to be a little constrained, fortunately, I told her something about Tanabata yesterday, although she wanted to say something with a full stomach, but she still endured it, and only said when no one paid attention to the kitchen door: "Xi'er, the Xu family is really big." ”

"It's quite big, but I still think our family is good." Qixi also turned her head and said with a smile, and after speaking, she paid attention to her second sister's reaction.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Yun Duo's eyes lit up, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, and after a while, he didn't look as nervous as before.

Qixi was also relieved, she was really worried that the second sister was uncomfortable, so she had the heart to turn her head to look at the kitchen, and listened to Manager Xu call out the kitchen stewards and cooks, there were more than a dozen people, and said that they would listen to her orders next.

Qixi hurriedly responded modestly, smiling at the curiosity in the eyes of the Xu family's chef or disapproving, thinking that she would be convinced that a child who was not yet ten years old suddenly appeared to be in charge of the kitchen?

What's more, she really didn't expect Xu Tianci to trust her so much, it can be said that she gave it a go, because listening to Manager Xu's instructions, it means that she is completely in charge of this table today, and the Xu family didn't even let their own cook prepare another table just in case.

But since she had answered, of course she couldn't say anything else now, and besides, she didn't think it was a problem to get a table, so she put away her surprise and began to look carefully at the place where she was going to cook later.

Seeing that this kitchen looked as big as her shop, her eyes were shining and she looked at the neat furnishings inside, the stove, the pots and pans, the ingredients on the huge table in the middle, and the surrounding cabinets and baskets, etc., this Xu family's kitchen was really eye-opening.

Manager Xu watched from the side, looking at the undisguised surprise on the face of this little girl who had specially punched the ticket in front of the old lady and had to pick it up in person, in fact, the people in their house were more curious about her.

"Young Master Cousin, this kitchen ......" Seeing that everything was explained, Manager Xu said tentatively, if the young master is not worried about him staying, but with such a noble status, it is enough to make an exception to come to the kitchen today, is it difficult to stay?

Rong You pursed his lips, of course he knew the meaning of Manager Xu, and he also knew that Manager Xu should go, but he was still a little worried that the little girl was here, but he looked at the eager eyes of Shangqixi and looked at him, and suddenly felt that his worries were superfluous, and he didn't know why he felt angry, so he turned his head: "Manager Xu, let's go." ”

"Hey, then Miss Shen, I'm going to trouble you here, if you need anything, just tell them." Manager Xu hurriedly responded, in fact, he was really worried that the young master would not leave, and if that was the case, he would not dare to persuade him.

"Go ahead and get busy." Qixi responded with a smile, but she didn't realize that Rong You was leaving with a little awkwardness, she didn't think much about it, and the two of them didn't seem to be able to help when they stayed.

Who knew that almost as soon as the people left, Tanabata felt that the atmosphere in the kitchen immediately changed, although there were emotions in their eyes but the cooks who were smiling on their faces, the moment the kitchen door was closed, they took a few steps back without a trace, and they were a lot farther away from the two sisters of Qixi Festival.

Just looking at a dozen or so people, the stars and the moon surrounded a white and fat middle-aged man in the middle standing opposite their two sisters, Qixi remembered that just now Manager Xu introduced this person as Master Jiang of the Xu family's kitchen, the person's face was kind, and he spoke with a smile, but the words he said were obviously not friendly: "Miss Shen, our kitchen has prepared all the ingredients according to the young master's instructions, but the names of those dishes are really ...... It's rare, I'm afraid we can't help much. ”

said that it was rare, but the magic on his face was clearly unimpressed, and the rest of the people stood behind Master Jiang, and they all looked alienated, and then they carefully distinguished, the expression on their faces was clearly like they felt that Qixi had come to rob them of their position.

Qixi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel funny, she was no stranger to this look, it should be xenophobic, looking at her eyes was like looking at an intruder, full of unfriendliness. (To be continued......)
