This day was the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Qinghe thought about his grandmother's instructions, so he went to ask the second lady for leave early.

Seeing that she was very honest in the past few days, the second lady was in a good mood, so she generously allowed her to go back to Fang's house to work on the seventh day of the new year, and rewarded her with the silver bracelet last time.

"Last time, your mother had to return this bracelet to me, I didn't want to accept it, but your mother's attitude was resolute, and it was really not good to refuse, so I could only keep it for the time being, and I wanted to reward you next time when I was free, just right, you take this bracelet, go back to the kitchen and get some favorite food to take home, and add two dishes for the New Year!" The second lady said hypocritically.

"Thank you, ma'am!" This time, Luo Qinghe didn't refuse, and after thanking him, he went home with his things.

Yueniang's serious illness, in the final analysis, is caused by silver bracelets! Luo Qinghe had a very bad impression of this silver bracelet, and he didn't have the idea of wearing it at all, but just pressed it under the cabinet, thinking that one day if the family was short of money, he simply took it to the pawnshop to exchange for silver.

At noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, when the family had finished eating, Luo Qinghe thought that it was not easy for him to improve the successful dim sum, and he rushed to the Fang family with it.

After all, it was the Chinese New Year, Yueniang asked Luo Qinghe to put on a new red jacket made for her, and combed her hair black and shiny with osmanthus oil, and tied two small round knots on both sides of the top of the hair.

Yueniang wanted to blush her face, but Luo Qinghe thought that dressing up like this was too exaggerated, so she refused Yueniang by hiding left and right.

Holding a heavy bamboo basket in his arms, Luo Qinghe cautiously went to Fang's house.

When she arrived at the door of Fang's house, she put down the basket and took a few deep breaths, steadied herself before entering.

Now is the time for the lunch break in the back kitchen, when there are fewer people and it is more convenient to do things.

But there are always some eye-openings:

Aunt Zhou took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the back kitchen, and saw that some delicious dishes were left, so she was greedy and wanted to take them home secretly, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Luo Qinghe.

"What are you doing, Aunt Zhou?" Looking at her sneaky back, Luo Qinghe wanted to scare and scare, so he quietly hid behind her and made a loud noise.

Sister-in-law Zhou was already weak-hearted, and she was so frightened by her, she spilled all the dishes that had just been packed with a shake of her hand, and she also stepped on the oil and fell heavily on the ground.

"Oops! Aunt Zhou, how is this! Why did you still fall? The new clothes are all dirty! Quick, I'll pat you with the dust off your body. Luo Qinghe slapped harder than the other, slapping heavily on Aunt Zhou.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't shoot, don't shoot!" Aunt Zhou was in pain and hurriedly hid.

"Oh... Okay......" Luo Qinghe looked innocent, stopped and asked, "Aunt Zhou won't go home for the New Year, what are you doing here?" ”

"That..."Seeing that she was caught red-handed, Aunt Zhou stammered and lied:

"It's... Be... The second lady asked me to pack some dishes for others to deliver, and you see that you spilled the dishes when you came! … By the way, what are you doing here? ”

"Didn't Mr. Zhao ask me to improve the taste of Huaxin Xuan Cake last time, I finally had an eyebrow after thinking about it for so many days, so I hurried to Fang's house."

"By the way, Aunt Zhou, I don't know if you are free now, can you help me pass on the message to the second lady?" Luo Qinghe said.

"Don't you have long legs yourself? What do you want me to do? Aunt Zhou was not happy when she heard it.

"Aunt Zhou, you misunderstood, didn't I let you go to explore because you dared to speak in front of the second lady? If you don't want to go, then I'll hold this thing myself to make the second lady happy..." Luo Qinghe had an indifferent attitude.

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she suddenly became energetic, and said in her heart: Isn't this a good opportunity to ask for credit in front of the second lady? quickly volunteered:

"Don't go yet, the second lady is afraid that she is resting at this time, I know when she is free, you wait first, I will help you pass it on."

As soon as Luo Qinghe heard this, he immediately pretended to be a little regretful and said, "Either I'll go by myself..."

"What do you know about this little girl! I'm afraid that you are not light or heavy, if you collide with the second lady, can you afford it?! Don't worry, I don't like your little credit! Zhou Shen glared at Luo Qinghe fiercely and said sharply.

And when did I mention the credit? Seeing that Aunt Zhou, who had no heart in the city, had leaked her thoughts, Luo Qinghe was very contemptuous in her heart, but she pretended to be obedient and said, "Then it's hard Aunt Zhou, I'll go back first." ”

"Go ahead!" It's rare for Aunt Zhou not to say something unforgiving.

But what she thought in her heart was: When Luo Qinghe is gone, she will do something in that little heart, and then make Mr. Zhao unhappy, and then let the second lady punish Luo Qinghe and drive her away.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qinghe just stepped out of the door, but he seemed to think of something, and said again: "By the way, Aunt Zhou, the outside of my basket is sealed with oiled paper, if it is torn, it will not be glued back, and I will be responsible for it." ”

This little girl has a lot of means! Aunt Zhou felt that it was unfavorable to be a teacher, and her mood was suddenly very bad.

Luo Qinghe left satisfied, and just happened to catch a glimpse of Cui Ling walking towards this side, so he said loudly:

"Sister Cuiling, have a good New Year! It just so happened that my dim sum was improved, and I put it in the back kitchen for Aunt Zhou to help me look at it! She will help me to give it to the second lady at that time. ”

As soon as Luo Qinghe said this, he also let outsiders know that it was Aunt Zhou who was watching the basket, and if something went wrong with the basket in the middle, it was also Aunt Zhou's responsibility.

After figuring out this layer, Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth with hatred and hatred, and threw the basket on top of a pile of sundries, thinking: Taking advantage of the busy kitchen during the New Year, in case of an error, it will be regarded as someone opened it without knowing it!

However, in the past few days, Luo Qinghe has pretended to be pitiful and has really achieved some results, Cui Ling saw her say this, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to pull her aside and asked, "You still trust Aunt Zhou?!" I often go to the second lady's house, otherwise I'll send it for you! ”

Isn't this person also trying to take the opportunity to curry favor? Luo Qinghe saw through Cuiling's little abacus, and snorted coldly in her heart, but she didn't let her see what was on her mind, but patiently explained:

"It's okay, I put that basket there on purpose. Aunt Zhou is the person in charge of the kitchen, so even if she makes a mistake, there is a kitchen grandmother to speak to her! If you really want to help me, why don't you go to the young master of the Fang family for me and inform him, saying that the dim sum has been made. ”

"Oh yes, this is a sour jujube cake made by my family, it tastes good, you can try it!" Luo Qinghe said as he took out a few square cakes wrapped in oiled paper from his purse and stuffed them into Cui Ling's hand.

Seeing this, Cui Ling happily took it and said, "Don't worry! I know the people in the eldest young master's courtyard, I will definitely bring this to you! ”

"Thank you!" Seeing that she readily agreed, Luo Qinghe also hurriedly thanked: "But Sister Cuiling, don't mention my name when you go to the eldest young master, just tell him about it." ”

"It's all on me!" Cui Ling nodded, held the sour jujube cake in his arms and said, "Don't worry!" ”

Luo Qinghe said goodbye to her and went out.

This Cui Ling took over this small task and went to the courtyard of the young master of the Fang family with joy.

According to the rules of the Fang Mansion, the young master's yard maid can never enter casually, plus the old lady has always been very strict, Cui Ling has not seen the young master for a long time, Cui Ling just wants to take this opportunity at the moment to look at him twice.

Cui Ling and Jasmine, the girl in the young master's courtyard, have been playmates since they were children, so with this layer of connections, it is still easy to get a word out.

Cui Ling thought about it, so she quietly called out Jasmine in the young master's courtyard and relayed the matter to Jasmine.

After listening to this, Jasmine said: "Then I will hurry up and tell the young master about this matter, it just so happens that the young master is very anxious about this matter, so he has to do it himself." ”

It's just a snack, how can he be so interested in a young master? When Cui Ling heard this, she was very puzzled.

But after a while, when she saw Jasmine hurrying over with the young master of the Fang family, asking her to lead the way to get the basket immediately, Cui Ling realized how important this matter was to the young master:

"Emerald! Hurry up and lead the way."

But when I arrived in the kitchen, I didn't see Aunt Zhou.

The three of them rummaged for a while, and finally found this basket on the pile of debris, and the young master of the Fang family hurriedly held the basket in his arms and asked, "What did Luo Qinghe have to say when he left?" ”

"Nope." Cui Ling has always been lively and clever, but in front of this young master of the Fang family, he is surprisingly honest.

The young master is really getting more and more handsome! Cui Ling lowered her head casually, but her eyes couldn't stop the young master of the Fang family glancing over her slightly.

The young master of the Fang family didn't notice her girl's appearance of Huaichun, but quickly put the basket on the table, tore the oil paper and lifted the lid.

I saw a delicate plain white porcelain plate inside, and these round cakes were placed on the top of the porcelain plate.

The young master of the Fang family saw that this cake was no different from the previous one, and hurried to taste it: "It is indeed much more delicious." ”

As soon as he tasted this taste, the young master of the Fang family suddenly saw hope, and happily hugged the basket and was about to go out.

Here, Luo Qinghe walked alone on the path home, thinking as he walked: As long as Cui Ling brought the words word for word, and explained everything that should be said clearly, the young master of the Fang family also knew what he was thinking! This Chinese New Year's Eve went upside down to send a personal favor, and it was also cost-effective to think about it!

"Get out of the way!"

Luo Qinghe, who was walking in a daze, didn't notice the chaotic sound of horses' hooves behind him.

The horseman saw that no matter how he shouted, the little girl in the red jacket in front of him walked in the middle of the road unwaveringly as if she hadn't heard, and in desperation, she could only pull the reins fiercely and try to slow down the horse.

In the past two days, the weather has warmed up, the snow has melted a lot, and the village road is a little muddy, coupled with the heavy stepping on the horse's hooves, the muddy water on the village road splashed Luo Qinghe's body, and even a few drops splashed on her face.

Luo Qinghe was startled, turned around and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't know how to be careful when walking!" ”

The man didn't succeed in reining in his horse, and swooped directly past Luo Qinghe, so fast that she didn't even have time to see the man's figure clearly, and only left a sentence in the wind: "I'm sorry, girl!" ”

Although it was just a flash, Luo Qinghe's habit of looking at people's faces first played a role at this moment, and the said:

"This man is so handsome! If only you stopped the horse just now, let me look at it twice! ”
