The cold wind came through the window, and a trace of coldness slowly penetrated into my heart.

I walked to the window, looked out of the Qingyin Pavilion, and looked at the lake in the courtyard, and looked at it for about half an hour.

I've been by the window all the time, and there's a bit of confusion in my head.

I still haven't been able to figure out how to write this letter.

Thinking about it repeatedly, I can't grasp the main point, and it seems to me that no matter how I write, it seems to be a little awkward, difficult to describe, and difficult to draw.

I was hesitating, not knowing what to write properly, when I heard a noise outside the window.

The wind passed by, and the sound of Adei and Yuanbao sounding on the ground floor of Qingyin Pavilion.

Adele was quick and had already prepared the dishes for dinner.

At this moment, the brother and sister were debating whether to call me out, and they were afraid of disturbing me.

It's not good to let Adele wait for a long time.

Putting the matter of writing the letter aside for the time being, I walked down from the Qingyin attic first.

On the table on the ground floor, Adele had already spread out a table of dishes.

Rao is that I have already learned Adele's craft several times, and I was also taken aback when I saw this.

It's less than half an hour, and Ade's cooking speed seems a little unimaginable!

Especially at a glance, there are a few dishes that still take a lot of effort and cannot be made in a short time.

The layman can't understand it, but I've been in the kitchen before, and those who are familiar with it will know it at a glance. "Ade, how did you manage to create a table of dishes in such a short time?"

I looked at Adele and asked with a puzzled expression.

The brother and sister looked at each other, both with smiles on their faces. It was Yuan Bao who spoke first: "Childe, when Adei came from the big kitchen, she brought the dishes made over there in a food box." "She's worried that we won't have time to eat out when we get back. Prepared in advance. "There are four kinds of dishes that I brought." Yuan Bao snapped his fingers and said.

"Plus the soup that Adele stewed in the small kitchen before we came back, just now she quickly made two cold dishes, plus a snack."

Yuanbao's explanation not only did not avoid the doubts in my heart, but I felt even more strange. "Ade," I stared at her. There was confusion in his eyes and he asked, "Didn't the third young master of your family say before going out that he wouldn't return to the mansion for a short time?" “

I instinctively go up there, or else. How could Adele pack all the dishes prepared for him and bring them to Qingyin Pavilion? Didn't you rob the tsundere young master's rations?

Don't need to keep one for him?

Ah Dai looked at me and winked and smiled: "Childe, I asked the Fu steward, the third young master said before leaving, he won't come back tonight." “

My heart thumped. How could it be so coincidental? He happened to be out on an outing. It's been so long, and it seems that I have taken advantage of the right time and place.

Normally it doesn't matter if he's in the house or not, but for today

I glanced at them quietly, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "I borrowed the light of your third young master, and I must eat more dishes on this table." "Adey, what are you still doing in a daze," I glanced at them and beckoned. It's the same as before! ”

The brother and sister looked at each other and hesitated, but they still obeyed me. They each took a seat at the table.

I looked down and thought about what Adele had just said.

From this point of view, the person in Yulantang specially chose to invite me to talk when I returned to the mansion, and he also inquired about the itinerary of the tsundere boy before taking action.

He's in the house, what if he comes halfway through the conversation?

She felt that the conversation must be avoided by that one, but it was conceivable that the scene of the meeting would not be too pleasant.

Judging from the embarrassment with which he spoke to me when the Fortune Steward met me, it was really difficult for him to take on this errand.

Who let the tsundere boy not be there, he is a guest of the Yuwen family, and there is another layer of special identity, so it is not easy to refuse.

It seems that people do sometimes insist on their own positions, and I was right to refuse!

If I hadn't refused, and had agreed against my will, I would have been the one in a dilemma right now.

"Ade, the dish is delicious." I retracted my thoughts, looked at Ade, and couldn't help but praise her.

Hearing this, Ah Dai looked at me with bright eyes and said, "The slave maid came to Qingyin Pavilion and heard more compliments than on the third young master's side. ”

"He has a different personality than I do," I muttered, "and it's hard for him to say a good word even if it's delicious, no matter how good the craftsmanship." ”

I couldn't help but complain about the tsundere boy, in exchange for Adei and Yuanbao looking at each other, Adele also stuck out her tongue.

"It's okay, what was said in the Qingyin Pavilion can't be transmitted outside, not to mention that I'm about to leave."

Since he is leaving, he has less scruples about speaking.

As soon as these words came out, the cheerful atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Yuan Bao held the chopsticks for a moment, turned his head to look at Adei beside him, and took in the expression on her face.

Yuan Bao pursed his lips after thinking for a moment, looked at me and said, "Childe, can't you stay a few more days?" “

Adele looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Childe, when are you planning to leave?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it's going to be soon, just these two days."

I lowered my head and thought about it, "Count, I've lived in Qingyin Pavilion for a few days, but I'm very happy, you and your brother are very good." ”

Yuan Bao lowered his head, my gaze fell on his face, and the corners of his mouth moved as I saw his depressed expression clearly.

I understood their feelings, and said with a regretful expression: "If there is still something to do, I am really willing to stay here for a few more days." ”

Qingyin Pavilion is a good place to live, a good place to be quiet and not disturbed, and it is a very pleasant thing to study and live here, but I know in my heart that even if the place is good, it is not a place for me to stay for a long time after all.

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I said in a sincere tone: "Especially Ade's craftsmanship, people who have tasted it probably don't want to leave." "The people take food as the sky, and they want to stay for this meal!"

That's the best compliment, at least the way I can think of it!

Yuan Bao smiled on the side: "Childe praised her repeatedly. Ade's tail is about to. ”

Adele muttered and glared at him dissatisfiedly.

The meal was eaten in a harmonious atmosphere, after it was finished. The siblings were in charge of cleaning the house.

I hesitated for a moment, looked at Adei before going upstairs and said, "I'll write a few recipes later, and when you come back from the kitchen, you will hand it to you before you leave Qingyin Pavilion." "Childe, how did you think of writing this," Adele paused and covered her mouth. I almost forgot that Childe had already told the slave. "Well, you guys go get busy first." I looked at Adele and said in a gentle tone, "I'll come down after I'm done writing it in a while." “

Let's talk. I don't look at the two of them anymore. I walked straight to the upstairs of the Qingyin Pavilion.

The letter has not yet been written, but I have eaten the food made by Adele several times.

I sighed, stared at the view outside the window, and was lost in thought for a long time.

After a while, I came back to my senses, and out of feedback, I wrote a few recipes for Adele before leaving Suzhou, which can be regarded as a cooking experience.

Adele has a talent for this. In the first place, it is not about teaching, but it is more practical to say that the competition between fellow food lovers is more practical.

I thought about it. Write down two pages of recipes in quick succession on a blank piece of paper.

In addition to the dishes made by Cui'er that I tasted when I was in Qibei, there are also a few dim sum recipes over there.

When Adele sees this, she will be very happy.

In fact, if Cui'er had been by my side, she would have been the one who could communicate with Adele the most.

The two of them must have endless topics to talk about.

In terms of personality, they are also very cheerful and have a good appetite for me.

I finished writing the recipe on paper, put down my pen, and wandered around the room a few times.

I didn't hear any talking from downstairs, and the brother and sister were still busy in the kitchen.

I walked over to the bookshelf and looked at the wall full of books, and my gaze froze for a moment.

There is a trace of inexplicable emotions that always linger in my heart.

However, after thinking about it this time, I finally had some eyebrows in my heart.

When I got to my desk, I spread out the blank paper again and began to write.

The room was quiet, except for the sound of the wind outside the window and the faint sound of a pen falling on the paper.

In a short time, I finished the letter I wanted to write.

The timing was about the same, and the voices downstairs rang out.

Listening to the voice, Adel and Yuan Bao came back from the small kitchen after tidying up.

I went downstairs and saw Yuan Bao pouring tea for me at the table.

Yuanbao did not boil high mountain tea this time, but a kind of tea with a strong flavor brought by the Yuwen family from Xilannan, which is usually drunk after a meal.

This tea is in Suzhou City, and there are not many people who can adapt to it, because of the strong taste.

But in West Lannan, I heard them talk about the tea that almost every household drinks.

I handed the list of recipes to Ade, and she happily accepted them.

I stood by the door and watched Yuan Bao send his sister to the bridge at Qingyin Pavilion, and then waved her goodbye.

I watched this scene for a few more moments before I withdrew my gaze

Yuan Bao returned to the bottom floor of Qingyin Pavilion and slowly closed the door.

I drank less than half a cup of hot tea from him, and I still had something in my heart, so I inevitably felt uneasy.

I watched Yuan Bao tidy up the things in the room and walked to the corner of the house to feed the little rabbit sent by the tsundere boy.

Adele placed a small bowl next to the rabbit cage with chopped radishes.

When the ingots walked over, the little rabbit moved around the cage for a while.

It sniffed the radish that had been sent in, and looked a little lacking in interest.

Yuan Bao couldn't help but smile and said: "Childe, it seems that Adele has fed it, and I can't be interested in seeing it at this time." "If it doesn't eat, it's definitely not hungry," I glanced at him, lowered my head and said, "Yuanbao, when I leave the house, you can send it directly to the big kitchen to Ade." “

I talked to Yuan Bao last time, and this time I remembered it and told him again.

Yuan Bao scratched his scalp and looked at me embarrassed and said, "Childe, in fact, the little one has something to say." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." I looked up and looked at him calmly.

"The third young master sent it to you for you to play."

Yuan Bao paused and continued: "If it is brought to the big kitchen Ade, the little one is worried, and the third young master will be angry when he knows about it." ”

I put down the teacup, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Of course I can call the shots of what he gave me." "It's mine right now, but you're right."

I looked at the ingots and said thoughtfully: "He has always been more cautious, I really should explain." “

I thought about it, and when I got up, I added two sentences at the end of the letter, and directly told him that after I left, this little rabbit would be transferred to Ade. "Yuanbao, you follow me out today, and you're very busy at the end of the day, go to rest early."

When Yuan Bao heard this, he stopped in the house and didn't leave.

He had been looking at me cautiously, with a complicated look in his eyes, and I knew that he could see it.

I drank half a cup of tea to myself, but I still felt that he had no intention of leaving, and I couldn't understand what was going on in his heart for a while.

So I raised my head and looked at him, and asked with a helpless smile on my face: "By the way, Yuanbao, come back today, how much money do we have left after we buy?" “

The most important thing I remember is that I naturally have to take stock of the remaining possessions before I leave.

Because it's not easy to win money at the casino, at least I should know how much money I have left.

Didn't Yuan Bao tell me about it, the caravans going northeast of Suzhou must be asking for a price.

Asking someone to piggyback for no reason, of course, won't work.

Yuan Bao refuses to go away, so it's better to ask.

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out the bag containing the silver coins from his arms, put it on the table in front of me, and said, "Childe, the rest of the silver coins are in it." "Hmm," I nodded, lowered my eyelashes, and continued to drink tea, this time the ingots seemed to see what I was thinking.

At this time, I just don't want to be disturbed, I just want to have a quiet tea alone.

He went to the corner of the house and stirred the coals with the fire, and then retreated to his own house.

The line of sight wandered around the ground floor of the Qingyin Pavilion, lingering casually.

I sighed silently, grabbed the money bag on the table and opened it to take a look.

The lights on the ground floor are still on.

I waited until I vaguely heard a soft snoring from the room where Yuan Bao lived, and then I walked slowly upstairs.

At the big table by the window, I spread out the things I had prepared for the past few days one by one to confirm.

The cotton clothes that went to the north to protect against the cold, the map of the north of Suzhou that I drew in the tsundere boy's study, the makeshift disfigurement medicine, and the dagger that the town bought

When I went to the street today, I went out with my escort Alai.

The original plan was to find more useful weapons in the blacksmith shops in Suzhou City.

I went out with Ah Lai, who was familiar with the way, thinking that I could find it along the way this trip.

Unfortunately, the shop recommended by Ah Lai did not open, and there was no opportunity to find it.

It seems that this simple and lightweight dagger made by the town will have to stay with me for a while.

Unless there's a chance to find a better one.

Past experience has taught me that all kinds of dangerous situations may be encountered while walking, and it is difficult to prevent them.

When you go to the Northland, you must always have a weapon to carry with you for self-defense! (To be continued.) )
