Xie Ling looked at the exquisitely packaged box in front of him, a little sluggish, "Give ...... For me? ”

Hua Manlou, who only brought two entourage, nodded and smiled sweetly, "Yes, the eldest brother sent a lot of them back, so I sent this one she said to Sister Ah Ling." ”

"Playboy is so caring." Xie Ling was still stunned, but he remembered to have basic etiquette, "You-you help me thank him." ”

"This is natural." Hua Manlou tilted his head in response, "But my sister can also wait for this year's New Year to personally thank my eldest brother." ”

Xie Ling did make an appointment with Hua Xiyun to meet next time, and even said that he would invite him to dinner.

"I owe the dude a meal, and this time it's time to treat him to another one." She glanced at the brocade-wrapped gift box again, "I wonder what ...... is in here?" ”

This question is not clear to Hua Manlou, because Hua Xiyun did not write it in the letter, so he had to shake his head, "The eldest brother did not say it in the letter, but my sister will know when she opens it and looks at it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie Xing, who had been pestering Chu Liuxiang for a whole day, also came back, and saw Hua Manlou sitting at the table and smiling Xie Ling talking, he was also stunned, "Hey, you're here?" Looking for me? ”

"yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just happened to send the gift that my eldest brother asked me to bring to my sister."

Xie Xing wowed, "What did your eldest brother send?" ”

"My sister hasn't been demolished yet." He said with a smile.

This conversation all fell into the ears of Chu Liuxiang, who stepped into the door a few steps later than Xie Xing, and when he looked down and saw the elegant and generous gift box on the table, his brows suddenly frowned.

Xie Ling was still a little heartbroken when he opened the box, such a good brocade was actually used to wrap gifts, the Hua family was really rich.

What catches your eye is a round wooden box with a lock on the front, but it doesn't need a key and opens it when you twist it. The round box is divided into many small compartments, and in each small compartment there are different shapes of preserved fruits, which are not large, but the shape is lovely and exquisite, which makes people happy when they see it.

"It turned out to be the preserved fruit of the Baixiang Pavilion." Hua Manlou's nose was sharp, and as soon as the lid of the box was opened, he smelled the smell.

Baixiang Pavilion in Jinling City, Xie Ling didn't know, but Chu Liuxiang knew, pastries and preserved fruits are a must, and the owner's family also adheres to the habit of selling twenty copies a day, without exception for a day, it is said that they want to get a piece of their preserved fruit, and now they are starting to line up, and they have to be two months away to get it.

I don't know how the dude got it.

"It smells so good!" Xie Xing praised it, turned his head to look at Xie Ling who was surprised, and said eagerly, "Can I taste a piece, sister?" ”

"Okay, don't look at me, just eat if you want." Xie Ling raised his eyes and looked at Chu Liuxiang, who had been standing after entering the door, and asked like a ghost, "Do you want to try Xiangshuai?" ”

"I'm not sweet either." He waved his hand.

Whether it's true that he doesn't like sweetness anyway, Xie Ling doesn't know.

But I couldn't stand Hua Manlou unconsciously demolishing the stage, "This is not too sweet, don't you really try it?" ”

Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows without a trace, "In this case, I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful." ”

In fact, in his opinion, although this Baixiang Pavilion is a little famous, the taste is not worthy of fame, at most it is more flavorful than ordinary preserved fruits.

But this can't be said in front of the gift giver's younger brother, not to mention that after Xie Ling ate a piece, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, "It's really delicious!" ”

Hua Manlou was obviously very happy, "It's good if my sister likes it." ”

"When the playboy comes back this year, I'll treat him to two more meals." Xie Ling said, "But I can't afford to invite a place like Tianxianglou, and I hope he won't dislike it when he arrives." ”

"Big brother has always been limited to these, in his words, it is delicious." Hua Manlou replied with a smile.

Chu Liuxiang looked at her thoughtfully, and began to inquire about Hua Xiyun's taboos, and was speechless for a while.

To be honest, it feels pretty heart-wrenching.

But Hua Manlou still answered in detail, and he couldn't wait to pour out all his eldest brother's preferences and show them to Xie Ling.

It's so obvious that he doesn't have a position yet.

"By the way, the eldest brother also mentioned in the letter that he wanted me to give this to my sister." Hua Manlou took out an envelope from his arms again, "I said that I got it by accident, I guess my sister should like it." ”

Xie Ling was also very curious, what the playboy said should be true, but what would be in the envelope that she would like?

Hua Manlou handed over the envelope, as if to signal her to open it.

She only caught a glimpse of the words on it when she took it, a line of fly-headed small letters, written very hiddenly, and after looking carefully for a while, she saw that it was the six words "Ouchi Pastry Secret Recipe".

"Oh my God." Xie Ling was even more surprised than before, and his heart was full of admiration for Hua Xiyun, "The dude actually can't even find this?!" ”

"What's what?" Xie Xing curiously leaned over to look at the envelope, and read word by word: "Big, inside, cake, pastry, point, secret, recipe, wow......"

"So that's it?" Hua Manlou probably didn't expect it, but reacted instantly, "Then this sister should really like it." ”

How! Whatever! Can! Yes! No! Enjoy! Happy!

Xie Ling almost wanted to look up to the sky and shout, how could there be such a helpful and empathetic rich and handsome person as Hua Xiyun in this world!

It's no wonder that it is difficult to raise a younger brother like Hua Manlou, and it is difficult to grow crooked.

If Xie Ling was just happy when he ate the preserved fruit before, his expression at this time can be described as surprise.

Chu Liuxiang saw it in his eyes, and he could only sigh in his heart, this playboy is really powerful.

"If you write back to the playboy, you must remember to convey your thanks for me." Xie Ling took the secret recipe of the big inner pastry, and the whole person was about to fly.

Hua Manlou responded with a mouthful, "Sister, don't worry." ”

That night, Xie Ling couldn't help but use the method mentioned in the secret recipe to make hibiscus cake, Xie Xing and Hua Manlou praised the deliciousness very much.

Xie Ling was very satisfied, but when he turned his head and saw Chu Liuxiang frowning while eating, he was puzzled, "...... Xiang Shuai doesn't like it? ”

Chu Liuxiang closed her lips and bit the last bite, met her clear eyes full of anticipation, and still told the truth, "It's delicious." ”

"That's good." She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I was worried if it was too sweet for your taste." ”

Chu Liuxiang naturally shook her head, "Miss Xie's cooking is quite to my taste." ”

This sentence made Hua Manlou, who was sitting there elegantly eating hibiscus cake, pause for a moment, but then returned to normal.

Chu Liuxiang had such an eyesight that he naturally noticed this detail, but he just didn't see it.

Anyway, Hua Xiyun himself is not here.

The experience of spending a lot of money to go to Xie's house cured Xie Ling's depressed mood during these days. From this point of view, Chu Liuxiang felt that the two gifts given by Hua Xiyun were quite meaningful.

But he couldn't figure it out, this person was an official and a servant of the ministry, and he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he was used to seeing the beauty of the country and grew up, why did he care so much about Xie Ling so well?

He only knew that the two had met briefly in the Hua family, but he didn't know that it was not the first time they had met.

Many years later, I was more surprised than relieved to learn that the reason was like this.

It's a pity that at this moment, he only feels congested.

Xie Ling seemed to be alone in the habit of stepping back when facing him, and she didn't dare to cross the thunder pool for a single step, like Hua Xiyun, if she replaced him, maybe she would endure the pain and even refuse the secret recipe.

Although it is somewhat clear that this differential treatment has nothing to do with his behavior, it is inevitable that he will be depressed.

Xie Ling didn't have the time or heart to pay attention to what he was thinking, the Ximen Medical Center had reopened after the funeral, she had been idle for two months, and she could finally go back to work, but it was a pity that it was still painful to adjust her schedule back to that time.

As soon as she got busy, Xie Xing became even more unscrupulous, and his martial arts made rapid progress, but fortunately, he still knew that he should try not to show it in front of others, and occasionally quarrel with others in the private school, and at most he was a little clever, and he was not more serious than those classmates.

Chu Liuxiang is very satisfied with this kind of free and delicious food, obedient apprentices to adjust and teach, anyway, it is a common thing when he goes out, at this time he is just squeezing a bed with his apprentice, it is nothing, and it is a happy place to live.

Xie Ling didn't rush him, but his attitude towards him was as polite as ever.

Every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but miss Xie Ling who would cry on his back.

Xie Xing is a ghost, and he stays with him all day, and everyone who relies on Meng can guess what his master thinks about his sister. But he didn't know that Chu Liuxiang was famous, and secondly, he had received a lot of help since he met Chu Liuxiang, and he had long been unswerving that the master was a good person, and his elbow naturally wanted to turn towards him.

However, he was still very worried about a very important question, so he found an opportunity to ask Chu Liuxiang seriously, "Master, are you very poor?" ”

“…… Why? ”

Xie Xing hesitated for a moment, and said as if he had made up his mind, "Because my sister said that she wanted to drink a bowl of soy milk and pour a bowl to marry into a wealthy family and become a broad wife." ”

Chu Liuxiang: "......"

Xie Xing: "So if you are very poor, it is very hopeless, she must not like the poor!" ”

"I'm not poor." Chu Liuxiang answered this question honestly.

Xie Xing pounded the table, "It's not good if it's not poor!" ”

Chu Liuxiang thought about it, if it was compared to the family property, it would be impossible for him to fight the playboy, but the life of drinking a bowl of soy milk and pouring a bowl of soy milk is probably still affordable?

"Well, forget it, even if you're poor, it's fine." Xie Xing saw that he didn't answer, and thought that he was really worthy of Cheng Dù, who was not poor, "My sister said, I don't want her if I don't like her in the future, brother-in-law!" ”

He naturally likes Chu Liuxiang.

"She really loves you." Although Chu Liuxiang was not surprised that Xie Ling would say such a thing, she also laughed for a moment.

Xie Ling didn't know about the exchange between the master and apprentice behind Xie Ling's back, but after Xie Xing praised her several times how good Chu Liuxiang was, it was impossible for her to be completely unaware.

…… But I can't fucking say to my brother directly, you save it, I refuse to fall in love with someone with this kind of person.

Chu Liuxiang not only helped her, but also treated her well, and the most important thing is that no one said anything, wouldn't it be very self-inflicted if she refused bluntly.

Xie Xing's praise is nothing more than a few sentences: Good people! Looks handsome! Martial arts are high!

Although she couldn't refute it, she couldn't help but feel funny.

In fact, in her opinion, the most charming thing about Chu Liuxiang should be that he always has a high-spirited temperament.

And that temperament is something that others can't learn.
