Qing Shu took more than thirty tender buds back to his house, took twenty and cooked them in his small kitchen, stuffed them in the pot for a while, and fished out ten of them. Four were sent to Mr. Lu's residence, four were sent to the housekeeper and Su's mother, and the remaining two were given to Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan.

It didn't take long for dinner time, and when the food prepared by the kitchen came over, Qingyang and the three of them came together, followed by Xiao Shengge.

Chen Qiaojiang smelled the smell and rushed into the small kitchen as soon as possible, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong didn't follow his monkey urgency, led Shengge into the snack room, and sat down next to each other.

At this time, Xiaojuan came in with a steaming bud valley, followed by Chen Qiaojiang, who was in a hurry to eat. As soon as the bud valley was on the table, Chen Qiaojiang grabbed a cut and took a bite regardless of it, and stated inarticulately, "Shengge, you are not allowed to rob it with us, you want to eat it back and eat it." ”

Sheng Ge protested in a low voice, "Don't. "Daddy said that the family is for his father and mother, and the one on my sister's side is for him.

Qing Shu glared at Chen Qiaojiang, who was about to say something, and took a piece of bud valley to Sheng Ge, and asked by the way, "Sheng Ge, what is your father doing?" ”

Sheng Ge very seriously raised the bud Gu that he had just caught, "Eat." "It means eating bud grains.

Qing Shu immediately understood, Mr. Lu is really a foodie, in order to eat more for himself, he actually sent his son to her side to eat, this father is a good father.

The sun rises and sets, and it is a new day, the August 15th Reunion Festival.

There was Gu Qiang in the house, and Qingshu didn't have anything special to explain, so he went out when the carriage and horses were set. Three carriages, surrounded by the family, left the town. Outside the town gate, Zhuangzi has arrived to deliver tender buds. Ding Jiabao took the basket containing the tender bud valley, put it in the last car, waved goodbye to the visitors, and headed in the direction of Jinyang City.

On the afternoon of the second day, Qingshu and the others arrived at Jinyang City, went directly to the mansion of the prefect of Chen, and received the warm hospitality of the prefect's wife. Before leaving, Qingshu originally planned to stay in the guest house, so that it was convenient to enter and exit, and he would not feel too restricted. But the housekeeper reminded her that although it was more convenient to move, it would make the Chen Mansion uncomfortable.

Chen Qiaojiang lives in the ancient mansion to study, and anyone who sees it understands that the Chen Mansion and the ancient mansion have a great relationship and have a close relationship. At this time, Qingshu came to Jinyang City, and he didn't live in Chen's Mansion, but lived in an inn, what would outsiders say when they saw it? Not to mention outsiders, even the Chen family will think more.

Therefore, the first time he arrived in Jinyang City, Qingshu boarded the door of Chen's mansion. The first is to send Chen Qiaojiang back to visit relatives, and the second is to live in the mansion of Governor Chen in the next few days.

Qingshu didn't come by himself, not only did he bring the little one out, but Mr. Lu was there. On the reunion festival, Mr. Lu gave three disciples a three-day vacation. As soon as he heard that Qing Shu was coming to Jinyang City, Mr. Lu changed his mind and wanted to give the three disciples a few more days off, and allowed Chen Qiaojiang to follow Qing Shu home to visit relatives. Mr. Lu thought about it again, he had nothing to do, so he decided to come to Jinyang City to meet old friends. After that, Qingshu made a decision and brought Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong with him. Seeing this, Mr. Lu hugged his family's Shengge into the carriage. From an outsider's point of view, their group doesn't look like they're out to do errands at all, but they seem to be dragging their families out to visit relatives.

Because Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong came together and were guests in Chen's mansion, Chen Qiaojiang was very happy. He dragged Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong to run all over the house, no one could control it, and he couldn't live in peace for a moment. He is the favored young master in the house, and when he comes to his own territory, he is like a wild horse that has escaped, not to mention the rampage, the nature of the little overlord is fully revealed. It is only when Governor Chen or Mr. Lu is present, his rampage, and his little overlord temperament will be more restrained.

It wasn't until it was dark that Chen Qiaojiang let go of Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong and was called away by his own mother. Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong, who were sweating profusely, were sent back to Qingshu by the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion.

Qing Shu was holding the sleepy Shengge, seeing their appearance, he told them to quickly wipe their sweat, worried that they would catch a cold accidentally.

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong wiped their sweat and sat next to Qingshu. Qingyang stared at Sheng Ge, who was dozing off in Qing Shu's arms, "Where is Sheng Ge going to sleep?" ”

This question made Qing Shu want to sigh. Probably men all over the world are rough in raising children. Mr. Lu happily carried his son into the carriage and took care of him along the way. But when he arrived at Chen's mansion, he was invited by Chen's prefect to drink and never returned, leaving his son to be taken care of by her, a yellow flower girl.

When children want to sleep, they naturally want to find their mothers, and Shengge, who is more than two years old, is no exception. Lu Niangzi is far away in Kangxi Town, and Qingshu has no spells, so naturally she can't send back Shengge, who is sleepy and looking for her mother. What to do? Only coaxing. Shengge is quite well-behaved, and he won't cry if he coaxes him. In comparison, he is closer to Qingshu, so Xiaoyu and the maids of the Chen Mansion are willing to help, but Shengge does not buy their accounts, and the task of coaxing the children can only fall on Qingshu's head.

Luo Xiaorong stretched out his hand and touched Shengge's little hand, "My brother doesn't cry, I sleep with my brother at night." ”

Sheng Ge's eyes were red like rabbits, he glanced at Luo Xiaorong, and called his brother in a small voice, wanting to slide off Qingshu's knees.

Qing Shu touched his little head and put him on the ground. Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong surrounded him and rushed to talk to him and tease him.

A child is a child, and after a while, Sheng Ge had a smile on his face, and he moved his little short legs to follow Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong around the house, giggling.

At this time, a maid from Chen's house came to deliver a letter, saying that Mr. Lu was drunk and had been sent back to the room, and he was sleeping peacefully.

Qing Shu shook his head, clapped his hands, and stopped the three little ones, "Okay, it's not early, it's time to sleep." Come, let's wash, and after washing, my sister will tell Shengge a story. ”

Qing Shu doesn't need to do this, there are small fish and they are neatly serving. Watching Sheng Ge lie on the bed, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong sat there and didn't leave.

Qing Shu was puzzled, "Why don't you go back to sleep?" Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong were arranged in the next room, while Shengge could only stay in Qingshu to sleep.

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong lowered their heads and looked at their toes.

"Why don't you speak?" Qing Shu asked again.

Luo Xiaorong whispered embarrassedly, "Xiaorong also wants to listen to the story." ”

Seeing that they were still in good spirits, Qingshu let them stay and told the story of the three little pigs to the three little ones. After the story was told, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong reluctantly went to sleep.

Sheng Ge rubbed his sleepy eyes, not sleeping yet. Qing Shu thought about it, lay down beside him, and hummed a lullaby softly. I don't know how many times I hummed, so I put Sheng Ge to sleep.

Qing Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, this coaxing a child was even more tiring than doing a day's work. This is still a more obedient and well-behaved child, and if you change to a naughty and rebellious one, you will not be tired to death, but you will have to die of anger. I am really not used to sleeping with a two-year-old child next to me, so I am afraid that I will be pressed when I turn over. As a result, this night's sleep was not steady.

Qingshu got up early and returned the sheng song to Mr. Lu, thinking that she was very sleepy, but Mr. Lu was refreshed, and her heart was strictly unbalanced. She said unceremoniously, "Mr. is really comfortable this day, he didn't take good care of his son when he brought him out, but he got drunk and threw his son to others, hum!" ”

Mr. Lu was not angry at all, and said to his son, "Shengge, my sister takes care of you so much, thank you, sister." ”

Sheng Ge said softly, "Sister, thank you." ”

Qing Shu bent down and touched Shengge's head, "Go home and sue your mother, and let your mother scold your father." After that, she didn't look at Mr. Lu's crying and laughing expression, and went out.

Leaving Chen's Mansion, I walked through the bustling streets of the city, and arrived at the Guji Bun Shop, which is not gorgeous in appearance, and the shop is small but the business has been good. There was a guest in the shop, and Zhang Niangzi, who was greeting the guests with two nine or ten-year-old boys, looked up with a smile, and only had time to say one word of welcome, and recognized that the person was the owner, so she came forward with a surprised face, "Miss, when did you arrive?" ”

Qing Shu smiled and pointed to a table next to him, "Is it okay to sit there?" ”

Zhang Niangzi naturally said yes, and led Qingshu over, and a young man (boy) who was busy in the shop came over first, took the white cloth towel on his shoulder, brushed the wooden stool a few times, made a gesture of please, and then took a few steps back respectfully but not flinching, waiting for instructions.

Qing Shu sat still and did not speak.

Xiao Juan spoke, "Shopkeeper, bring a portion of all the food in your shop." This is what Qing Shu confessed to Xiaojuan before going out, and he didn't want to expose the fact that he was the owner of the shop in front of the guests.

Mrs. Zhang agreed, walked away with the little guy, and quickly brought a pot of tea to Qingshu in person.

When a few guests checked out and left, Qingshu and their tables had already been loaded and eaten. Whether it was a staple food or a dish, Qingshu tasted each one by one, and tasted everything slowly, wondering if the cook's skills had improved, or if there had been no change, or if there had been a decline.

Waiting for Qingshu to put down the chopsticks, Zhang Niangzi walked to the table, "What does Miss command?" ”

Qing Shu's face didn't show joy or anger, and his tone was also very calm, "Are there more or fewer guests this month than last month?" ”

Zhang Niangzi replied without thinking, "It's almost, it's not too much, it's not too much." ”

Qing Shu used chopsticks to pick up the bun that he had just bitten, "What's going on with this bun?" ”

Zhang Niangzi was stunned, "Miss, what's wrong with the bun?" Her heart tightened slightly, but she thought of something and was relieved.

Qing Shu said, "The taste of the filling is wrong, let Master Zhang explain." ”

Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale, "Miss, this, this, has the taste changed for the better, or has it gone bad?" "How so? How can it be? How could Miss taste different?

"It's not as good as before." At the same time as these four words were spoken, several guesses flashed through Qing Shu's mind.

Zhang Niangzi knelt on the ground in fright, "Miss forgive me, please forgive Miss, it's all the fault of the slave family, and it has nothing to do with the head of the slave family, please don't blame him." ”
