The weather is approaching June, the air is getting hotter and hotter, and the thin jackets on people's bodies have long been changed into single clothes. Zhao Yiyun wore a thick cotton jacket, sat against the window with a small hand stove, and looked at the green scene in the courtyard through the window screen. This should have made his mood a little better, but there was no bright love in his heart except for the dark moods of sadness, hatred, and misanthropy.

Qin Yun stood on the edge of the bed worriedly with a bowl of lotus seed porridge, and persuaded again: "Young master, just eat a little, you haven't eaten since the morning." ”

"Young master, if you beg Mama, you can eat a little." Zhao Yiyun's grandmother Shu Ci said with red eyes.

Zhao Yiyun turned his head, and the sunlight shining through the window cast a white halo on his face, making his face look even paler, "Mama, I'm not hungry now, I will definitely eat when I'm hungry." ”

"Look at what your face has become, Mama knows that you are not feeling well now, but how much can you drink?" Mama Shu Ci picked up the bowl of lotus seed porridge, scooped a small spoonful and handed it to Zhao Yiyun's mouth.

Zhao Yiyun twisted his head, frowned, and raised his hand to push away the spoon: "Mama, I really don't want to eat." ”

"You're going to kill me!" Mama Shu Ci put the bowl heavily on the table, pulled out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

"What's the matter, why are you crying, Mama?" Wu Mingyao lifted the curtain and walked into the house in a few steps, and saw that Mama Shu Ci was crying, and put a bowl of lotus seed porridge in his hand that had not been touched at a glance, and knew that his cousin must have started to stop eating again. He took the food box from Liu Ming, who was following him, opened it to reveal the golden little pumpkin cake and the crystal lotus root cake inside, and then put the food box on the low table in front of Zhao Yiyun and said, "Cousin, are you not eating again, try these little pumpkin cakes and crystal lotus root cakes, they taste quite good." ”

Zhao Yiyun glanced at the food box with little interest, originally thought it was just an ordinary snack, but he didn't expect that there were a few chubby and cute little pumpkins in the food box, as well as a few crystal clear cakes that he had never seen before. "Is this a new dim sum in your restaurant?"

"Not yet, but right away. I bought it from a little Langjun on the street just now, and I have already asked that little Langjun to work in our restaurant, and he said that he would think about it for a while, but I think he will come soon. ”

"That's really congratulations, finding a good cook."

Wu Mingyao took the silver fork in the food box and forked a small pumpkin and handed it to Zhao Yiyun's mouth, and said: "You haven't tasted it, how do you know that he will be a good cook, hurry up and taste it, it tastes really good." ”

"Mingyao, you don't want this ......" Zhao Yiyun looked at the small snack on his lips and was about to refuse, but before he finished speaking, Wu Mingyao stuffed the dim sum into his mouth, Zhao Yiyun's whole face wrinkled, and he was about to spit it out when he lowered his head.

Wu Mingyao saw that he was about to vomit, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, "Cousin, don't spit it out, try it." ”

Zhao Yiyun was taken aback by Wu Mingyao's sudden move, and soon a wave of anger brewed in his eyes, and he was about to push Wu Mingyao's hand away to blame him, but the hand covering his face was pulled down by Mama Shu Ci.

"Young Master Cousin, you can't do this!" Mama Shu Ci scolded.

Wu Mingyao also realized that his actions were indeed a little abrupt now, his face turned red for a moment, he shook his arm in a sneer, said that he was going to check the accounts and hurriedly ran out.

"Young Master Cousin is really careless, how many times have I said it and still be so careless, if it is seen by outsiders, how can it be good." Mama Shu Ci sighed as she looked at the still swaying door curtain, but she knew in her heart that she really couldn't blame Wu Mingyao for this, who knew that things would become like this in just half a year!

"Don't blame him, Mama, he is really good for me." Zhao Yiyun said, his face was a little better, although he was no longer the same person he used to be, but at least his cousin still treated him the same as before, which somewhat made him feel better.

"I also know that Young Master Cousin is good, it's just ...... Alas. Mama Shu Ci sighed, but didn't say the words in her mouth to stimulate Zhao Yiyun, but only changed her words: "Young master, even if Mama begs you, you can eat some more, for the sake of the young master's intentions." ”

"Mama, I'll eat a little more, so don't worry." Zhao Yiyun said, and sent a small pumpkin pie into his mouth, and immediately felt that his mouth was full of sweetness, the little pumpkin pie tasted sweet and silky, revealing the unique fragrance of pumpkin, and the filling in it was not only what it was made of, it was thick and fragrant, it was really delicious.

Because he was in a better mood, Zhao Yiyun's appetite also improved, and he ate a total of three pumpkin cakes and four crystal lotus root cakes, and then drank a small half bowl of lotus seed porridge. Although her appetite is much smaller than before, she eats more than she has eaten these days, but she is very happy for Mama Shu Ci.

After Zhao Yiyun fell asleep, Mama Shu Ci pulled Brother Qin Yun out of the room in a whisper, stood at the door and said to him: "Qin Yun, you go to the young master cousin, just say that our young master thinks it is good to eat the small snacks he sent, please ask him to let the dim sum master make some fresh snacks next time." ”

"Alas, I know, I'll go and say, Mama go in." Qin Yun nodded, he was also happy that Zhao Yiyun could eat more, this time he saw Zhao Yiyun getting thinner and thinner, not to mention worrying about it in his heart.

"Then you go and go back quickly."

"Ugh." Qin Yun answered, turned around and hurried out of the courtyard.

Looking at Qin Yun's back, Mama Shu Ci stood at the door and sighed before entering the house, he knew Qin Yun's thoughts about Zhao Yiyun, if it was in the past, Mama Shu Ci would naturally be happy to see it, but now, he can only pity him.

Zhao Yiyun was lying on the bed and was not stable, and soon began to have nightmares again, he held the quilt tightly with both hands and moved uneasily, frowning in pain, and after a while, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Mama Shu Ci saw it, and quickly sat on the edge of the bed and carefully wiped Zhao Yiyun's face with a warm towel, wiping and wiping it, thinking of Zhao Yiyun's high-spirited appearance before, tears couldn't help but fall.

Zhao Yiyun was originally the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion in Dadu, and his father, Zhao Zijin, the general of Dingguo, was a famous general of the Dafeng Dynasty, and had been guarding the border of Cheze County in the Dafeng Dynasty for several years. Two years ago, when the foreign enemy came to attack, General Dingguo led his troops into battle, because the army was mixed with internal traitors and was highly poisoned on the battlefield, although the military doctor tried his best to treat it, his life was still in danger.

After the Marquis of Jingyuan received the news, Zhao Yiyun took his mother Liu Shi all the way to the border pass, and only had time to meet General Dingguo before his death. Liu's body was sick because he was too tired from the long journey, and he saw her husband die before she could recover, and she died after a long time of excessive grief.

Zhao Yiyun was only 16 years old at the time, and he was grief-stricken because of the death of his parents, but before he could take the remains of his parents back to Dadu for a good burial, foreign enemies came again. Zhao Yiyun began to learn martial arts under a famous teacher at the age of three, and after thirteen years of study, he was excellent in martial arts. At that time, when he saw the enemy army, he ignored the dissuasion of Shu Ci Mama and others, and stubbornly replaced Zhao Zijin's military position to kill the enemy.

In this way, he has been at the border for more than a year, Zhao Yiyun has made meritorious contributions several times, and has been repeatedly rewarded by the imperial court, and the emperor has intended to knight him, who knows that Zhao Yiyun was ambushed by the enemy in a battle half a year ago and was accidentally seriously injured.

Although this injury is serious, it is not life-threatening, but Zhao Yiyun can no longer be a man, and his body will be weaker in the future. The emperor didn't have time to promulgate the holy decree of enshrinement and knighthood, but he sent a priest to Zhao Yiyun, a special black pill to eat, and a good man became a god-given brother, and the original qiē also changed with this small pill.

When the ox cart arrived at the entrance of Liushuwan Village, Liu Ge'er came to his senses, he glanced at the bamboo basket that Du Qiyue was holding in his arms, stood up on the ox cart suddenly, and jumped down and ran home without waiting for the ox cart to be stable.

Du Qiyue looked at him like that, and shook his head helplessly, it was a child at the bottom, and he was shocked when he saw some silver.

"Tsk, this Liu brother of the Chen family is really a little brother, how can he marry someone in the future when he is crazy." A woman sitting in the car next to her said mockingly.

Du Qiyue turned his head to look, it was Wang Sanxiang who spoke last time, and immediately replied unceremoniously: "Aunt Qi, you can rest assured, Brother Liu will not marry into your family after all, don't worry about it." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Sanxiang to react and ran away with his bamboo basket, he could put more than 30 taels of silver in this basket, he felt uneasy when he stayed outside for a while, and he had to hide it at home immediately.

Brother Liu ran all the way home, and when he saw Liu Momo wearing a turban and stepping on rapeseed under the sun, he rushed over, hugged Liu Momo's waist and gasped and whispered: "My little brother Yue earned thirty taels of silver at once, but it's amazing." Those silver ingots are so big and beautiful, I've never seen them before! ”

Liu Momo was dizzy and swollen from the sun, and when he heard Brother Liu'er's words, he didn't understand it for a while, he walked down from the rape stack and pulled Brother Liu into the house and asked, "What silver is not silver, Brother Liu, what are you talking about?" ”

"Brother Xiaoyue and I met the owner of Zuifulou when we were selling dim sum on the street, and after he tasted the dim sum, he bought two recipes for dim sum, one fifteen times. He also asked Brother Xiao Yue to help in the restaurant, but Brother Xiao Yue said to think about it. Brother Liu said excitedly.

"So much money!" Hearing that Du Qiyue had made so much money at once, Liu Mo was also very surprised, "Zuifulou, is it the restaurant where your rich uncle used to work?" ”

"Well, that's it, that boss heard that he just came from Dadu!" Brother Liu said, thinking of Wu Mingyao's appearance, he couldn't help blushing a little.

"Did you just come from Dadu, I heard the village chief's Luo Momo say that he saw a great old man in the town, I don't know if it's the boss you said." Liu Momo said.

"Amazing old man?"

"Well, I heard Luo Mo say that the old man came in two big boats, and the luggage was moved down and loaded with twenty or thirty carriages, and a large number of attendants and servants. When they passed through the avenue, they were so crowded that they couldn't walk, and Luo Momo waited a long time before he could get out of the city. It is also said that the old man's sedan chair is really magnificent, it is carried by eight people, the sedan curtains and curtains of the sedan chair are decorated with flowers and birds embroidered with gold and silver filigree, and the bead curtains are made of pearls and jade, which is very rich. ”

"Twenty or thirty carriages of luggage, didn't you bring all the furniture in the house, why are there so many?" Brother Liu said in disbelief, he couldn't imagine the luggage of twenty or thirty carriages.

"Who says it's not, I heard that it's from Dadu. I really don't know why he came to a poor country like ours when he couldn't live for most of it. There is an old man in the city, and there will be more lively things in the future! Liu Mo said.

"That might be the boss, but he's not a big man, and the boss is only a little older than Brother Xiaoyue." Brother Liu said.
