In the morning breeze, the fragrance of osmanthus wafted in the yard and lingered.

Cui'er took a few newly folded cinnamon branches to replace the magnolia in the vase.

I was concentrating on reading the pharmacopoeia, I lowered my head and didn't notice, Cui'er's movements hesitated a little, but I still asked out loud: "Girl, is this going to be changed?" ”

When I looked up, I saw that Cui'er was about to pull out the magnolia in the bottle, and hurriedly stopped her: "Wait a minute." ”

Cui'er looked back at me and said, "It's been a few days, it's time to change." ”

"Cui'er, you go and change the vase of flowers in the study, this magnolia, I like it very much." The corners of my mouth went up, and I smiled at Cui'er, "Don't replace it just yet." ”

She shook her head helplessly and said, "I like it, I can also find a new magnolia flower to exchange, this flower doesn't look fresh." ”

I lay on the pharmacopoeia and looked at the bottle of magnolia blankly, and muttered: "How can the new one be the same, this is the heart, Cui'er, you don't understand." “

"The slave doesn't understand, but what kind of snack does the girl want to eat today?" Cui'er pursed her lips and smiled.

My eyes lit up, and I hurriedly said, "If you have any other snacks, just say one." ”

"Nine yellow cakes." Cui'er thought for a moment and said, "This is the right time of year. ”

"Leek cake." I was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly shook my head and said, "This can't be done, the taste is too strong, it can't be." ”

Cui'er looked at me like me, her expression was more surprised than mine, and she suddenly laughed after a while: "Girl, this Jiuhuang is not that leek, you will be mistaken." ”

"Nine yellows of chrysanthemum yellow in September." Cui'er covered her mouth and smiled.

"Ah, this," I realized. A little embarrassed, he said, "I thought it was wrong, I thought it was the leek." ”

"Cui'er, then you said nine yellow cakes. What is the filling? ”

Cui'er thought for a while and said, "When slaves and maids make it, they usually put roses, peach kernels, and sesame seeds. ”

"You just put roses, don't want the last two." I pondered for a moment and said, "I'll try it for you today." Do it again every few days. ”

"I want to send that Doctor Liu in Qibei again," Cui'er was not happy when she heard it, "The slave said, don't make it for him to eat, that bad old man." ”

I closed the pharmacopoeia in my hand, looked at Cui'er and said, "Who said it was going to be for her, and then Doctor Liu......"

At this point, I suddenly stopped the topic.

Cui'er said strangely: "What does the girl want to say, what's wrong with Dr. Liu?" ”

I said in my heart, Dr. Liu. Someone else, not the old man she thought.

But when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed it again, and I learned the truth, but Liu Zhenzhen still wants to continue practicing medicine in Qibei, so why should I talk to Cui'er so much.

Cui'er's tone is strict, but if she leaks her mouth to someone one day. It's rare that there will be some crazy words in Qibei.

Although I didn't like Yoo Jinjin, and her first meeting with me was not pleasant at all, I didn't want to add to her.

Such a person, unless there is something that can only find him but cannot find a second person, he is unwilling to intersect, nor is he willing to be involved, and staying away is the king.

Thinking of this, I changed my words and said: "Dr. Liu's weird-tempered old man loses his appetite when he sees him once, and I don't like masochism so much." I'm going to see him a second time. ”

This answer was very satisfying to Cui'er, and she nodded in the affirmative, "That's it." ”

Cui'er ran to the kitchen to make snacks, and I was left alone in the entire Huxin Pavilion.

I looked at the clumps of paper on the table, the drafts I had typed in the morning.

The steward and a few of his subordinates set off for the southwest early this morning. I don't know if the final result of this operation will be good or bad.

Say not worried, in fact, it's fake, this letter and contact is not only related to my next trip, but also mixed with a lot of personal feelings.

In the dark, a voice in my heart was telling me that General Snow Eagle must not be what others say.

I don't know where I got my confidence, but I just had a hunch.

Fortunately, the verification process does not take long, and by the end of the year, there should always be a response.

I sat in front of the window, playing with the wilted magnolia flowers in the bottle, remembering that someone didn't know what he was doing now, whether he was obedient and recuperating, or whether there were still a lot of things that I couldn't let go of and always had to do it myself.

Did he take the medicine on time, when I thought of the word medicine, my heart rippled, and my face suddenly flushed.

I sighed, my heart still hanging a little.

I read the book and wrote a few notebooks, and the time was soon approaching noon.

Cui'er's voice sounded behind her, and she walked over happily with a plate and said, "Girl, you can taste the craftsmanship of slaves." ”

I glanced at the nine yellow cakes on the plate, there was a rich sweet fragrance, and the color was really golden and pleasant.

Pick one up and bite it gently, the rose is fragrant, soft and refreshing, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.

I quickly finished eating one, and Cui'er smiled: "According to what you said, I didn't put any other fillings, just rock sugar and roses, but this cake is a little different from the called Jiuhuang cake, but the rose cake is more flavorful." “

"Cui'er, in six days, you have to do it for me again, remember to do it with your heart." I looked at the plate and said to Cui'er.

"Miss Fei is going to give it away again," Cui'er looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes and asked, "Can you tell the slave who she gave it to?" “

I hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Anyway...... Very important people. ”

"Girl," said Cui'er as she took a few steps forward and looked at me with a smile, "the slave has an idea, would the girl like to hear it?" ”

"Cheng, you say, I'll listen." I took another bite of the cake and took a sip of tea.

"Since it's for an important person, a very important person, why don't the girl cook it herself." Cui'er is kind and seductive.

"This can't be done," I put down the bread and waved my hand repeatedly, "my craft is much worse than yours, and you also say that you are the first in this garden to make dim sum." ”

"Girl, it's the mind that matters, as you often say."

I glanced at Cui'er, blushed and bowed my head, "I'll think about it again." ”

"It's going to be a few days anyway." I smiled at Cui'er.

"If the girl thinks about it, start trying it early, once is not good enough, after a few times, it will definitely do well." Cui'er shook my arm and said, "Perhaps, it's better than the slave's work." ”

…… In the afternoon, the sky was soon covered with dark clouds, Cui'er closed the window in the south, I looked in the direction of the shaking of the leaves outside, stopped her, and said: "Leave a few doors open, it is not a southeast wind, and it will not drift in." ”

The raindrops were beating on the eaves, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard took the opportunity to wash up.

I looked at the scenery in the lake from the window, and inadvertently saw a small man holding an umbrella on the other side of the curved bridge.

Cui'er was staying by my side, and when she saw it, she frowned and said, "I don't know what the news is?" ”

Seeing that the little girl was running closer, Cui'er went down to answer, and she came up after a while.

Holding a food box in his hand, he handed it to me and said, "Girl, it was said that someone sent it to the door, and it was for the girl." ”

I opened the red lacquer food box and was stunned to find that there was still a layer of food box inside, and when I opened the second layer, Cui'er exclaimed: "What a delicate craftsmanship." ”

I looked at the plate of eight attractive osmanthus cakes with good color and flavor in the box, and said helplessly: "But, Cui'er, I only have one stomach, and no matter how delicious the dim sum is, it ...... now."

I was surprised in my heart, sighed silently, and told Cui'er my question: "Didn't the little guy say anything, who sent it?" ”

"Since you send snacks to your door, you have to leave a message."

Cui'er shook her head and said, "No." ”

When she saw that I didn't do anything, she picked up one and said, "The slave maid tastes the girl for me." ”

"Wait!" I was alert in my heart, "Do you want to take a poison or something, and eat it rashly, what if there is a problem with eating?" ”

"Girl," Cui'er chuckled. "Then the slave will try a poison for you."

I glanced at her, took off the silver hairpin on her head, wiped it with a handkerchief, picked a piece of osmanthus cake and inserted it.

I didn't change color.

I threw the cake and wiped the hairpin again before inserting it back into Cui'er's head.

"I've rewarded you." I put the lid on the whole food box and handed it to Cui'er, who chewed it tastefully and said, "This osmanthus cake is better than the slaves, so the girl should try it." ”

Hearing this, I was in a hurry, and I was about to reach into the food box, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps by the curved bridge.

After a while, Cui'er brought a package, I took it from her hand, put it on the table and opened it.

Pour! It's actually another food box, what is it this time, won't it be a snack again, I watched Cui'er open the food box, and sure enough, there was a plate of red fruit cold cake inside.

Cui'er said with a smile: "This one has a name and a surname, and it was sent by the lord on a fast horse." “

Looking at the two food boxes on the table, I was really full just looking at it.

I frowned and said to Cui'er: "What day is it today, why are the dim sum delivered one after another, could it be that there is any custom in Qibei to send dim sum today?" “

This is too coincidental, how can it be sent one after another?

Cui'er shook her head and said, "The slave maid has never heard of it, what festivals have been there recently, ...... recently"

Cui'er thought for a while and said, "There are no festivals to give snacks recently. “

"By the way," I interrupted Cui'er and asked, "You said that the second food box was sent by my senior brother, did the steward say where he is now?" “

"Girl, the steward said that the Lord has recently stayed in the Imperial City of Nanliang."

I was silent for a while, but Cui'er called me, and I muttered, "Why did he stay there so idle, didn't he want to go back to Haiguo." ”

I looked up and said to Cui'er, "Where's the person who delivered the snacks?" ”

"Eat in the backyard." Cui'er replied to me.

"You ask the man to come to me in a moment, I have something to ask him." I tapped the food box on the table with my knuckles and said, "Take these two, you can eat them, and you can give them to the people in the yard." ”
