On the second day, Meng Xiaoran went out of the house under the pretext of making molds, naturally no one cared, now she is different from before, she was sent by Mrs. to be in charge of the plum blossom banquet, everyone understands in their hearts that if the plum blossom banquet is done well, she will definitely be reused by Mrs., and she will definitely be a celebrity next to Mrs. in the future, even Mother Li is much more polite to her.

She asked for directions and found the "Shen's Mold Shop", she walked into the store, the shopkeeper was bowing his head to settle the accounts, and a person next to him was sitting in front of the desk to make things.

Meng Xiaoran walked to the counter, and the shopkeeper looked up, and after seeing her, he asked tentatively: "Is it Miss Green Fu?"

Meng Xiaoran nodded, and the shopkeeper immediately said, "Please later." As he spoke, he took Meng Xiaoran to the back of the lobby, walked through the courtyard to a room, and knocked on the door, "Childe, Miss Green Fu is here." ”

A cold male voice came from inside, "Come in." It was Shen Qian's voice, she pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Shen Qian looking at herself with a smile, "You really succeeded." ”

Meng Xiaoran naturally knew what he was talking about, and replied, "Didn't Childe guess it a long time ago?" The two looked at each other and smiled, she walked to the couch and sat down, Shen Qian poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "It's cold outside, let's have a cup of hot tea." ”

Now that it's winter, it's really getting colder and colder outside, Meng Xiaoran held the tea cup to warm her hands, her thoughts suddenly drifted away, she didn't know that she had been here for almost a year, I couldn't imagine that she really survived, and became more and more adaptable, but now I don't know how long the days will last, and after the end, will she live here like the ancients?

Maybe the environment is too relaxed, she unconsciously fell asleep, since she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has not slept well, and her spirit is always tense, I didn't expect to relax unconsciously when I arrived here.

Shen Qian sat opposite, seeing that she was asleep, he found a blanket to cover her, although the house burned the dragon, but he still caught a cold when he slept, he stood aside and quietly looked at her sleeping face, a corner of his heart was collapsing little by little, but he didn't know it yet.

When Meng Xiaoran woke up, there was no one in the house, she took off the blanket covering her body and collapsed, walked to the store, and the shopkeeper saw her and said with a smile: "Childe has left in advance, let you have dinner here before leaving." ”

Meng Xiaoran shook his head, "I'll go out for a walk first, and I'll come to the store to pick up the mold later." The molds she said were those plum blossom-shaped molds, and the shopkeeper naturally understood, and nodded with a smile.

The street is very lively during the day, the last time I went to the street was with Xiaocui, it has been several months in a flash, Yujing City is not big, they are located in the core, and it will not be too far from anywhere, which is the benefit of dignitaries.

Meng Xiaoran walked on the street unconsciously, and his mood was low for no reason.

"Miss Meng?"

Hearing the voice, she subconsciously turned around and looked at the source of the sound, and as soon as she turned around, she regretted it, not far away, Lu Ziqing was looking at her with a slight smile.

Meng Xiaoran immediately turned around and wanted to pretend not to see it, but Lu Ziqing came over at this time and said with a smile: "Miss Meng, I know it's you, last time I said goodbye, Lu Mou has been waiting for the girl's repayment, the girl shouldn't have forgotten, right?" ”

Meng Xiaoran stared at him carefully, and suddenly saw him wink at him, and understood in an instant, Lu Ziqing had already recognized him, and he was discouraged for a while, so he could only stubbornly say: "Master Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Seeing that she was finally willing to admit it, Lu Ziqing smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I won't say much, noon is coming, why don't we have dinner together, I remember that last time I invited the girl to dinner, I happened to have no money today, why don't the girl invite me, and you will repay it at that time." ”

Meng Xiaoran was slightly stunned, and finally nodded, Lu Ziqing achieved his goal, smiled happily, pointed not far away and said, "Why don't you go to the Kyoto Restaurant, the dishes there are very delicious." ”

……

Meng Xiaoran felt a pain in her heart, Kyoto Restaurant, that is the largest restaurant in Yujing City, where does she have so much silver?

Thinking that Lu Ziqing just said that he didn't bring any silver, Meng Xiaoran felt that he couldn't go there, "Forget it, Lu Gongzi, I'm ...... I only brought ten taels of silver, and it was categorically not enough to go there. After saying this, her face turned red, she didn't bring enough money to invite people to dinner, and she had never been so embarrassed in her previous life.

Lu Ziqing looked at her blushing and embarrassed appearance, and suddenly smiled, her voice was very good, "Then I'll invite you today, okay?" Yours will be saved for next time. ”

Meng Xiaoran raised his head suspiciously, "Didn't you just say that you didn't bring any silver?" ”

"I didn't bring any money, but I can write it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." After speaking, he winked at her, Meng Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, and the two came to the Kyoto Restaurant together.

Meng Xiaoran stood in front of the restaurant, thought about it and took a silk handkerchief out, and stuffed the two horns behind her ears, fortunately, her face was small and covered the lower half of her face, she didn't want to be recognized by Meng Cai and the shopkeeper now.

Seeing this, Lu Ziqing didn't ask much, as soon as the two came in, Xiao Er greeted him, it was Meng Cai, who Meng Xiaoran was familiar with, he seemed to know Lu Ziqing, and said with a smile: "Lu Gongzi, are you here?" Why don't you go to the private room you frequent, it's still empty? ”

Lu Ziqing nodded, Meng Xiaoran looked at Meng Cai, seeing that he didn't seem to have changed at all, she felt a little emotional, she looked at the restaurant, everything has not changed, but the one singing on the stage is not Miss Jinse.

She was curious for a moment and asked, "Little Er, what about the Jinse girl who sang here before?" ”

Meng Cai was stunned for a long time before replying: "The girl hasn't been here for a long time, something happened here a few months ago, Miss Jinse provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with, so she left, and now she should be back to her hometown." ”

Meng Xiao was surprised, it turned out that Jin Se was also gone, she sighed in her heart, the two came to the private room, Meng Cai has been standing aside and waiting, and when they sat down, they asked, "What do you two order?" Lu Gongzi, the abalone in the store today is very fresh, and it has just been transported from Cangzhou. ”

Lu Ziqing nodded and said, "Then have one." ”

Meng Xiaoran secretly thought in her heart, they are eating and drinking here, will it not be good to use the money of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a piece of abalone will cost hundreds of taels, so she stopped it loudly, "Lu Gongzi, I don't like to eat abalone, let's order something simple." ”

Lu Ziqing looked at her and asked, "What does Miss Meng like to eat?" This abalone is the signature dish here, and it is very delicious, so let's try it. ”

After speaking, he looked at Meng Cai again, and continued to say a few dish names, each of which is the most expensive dish here, Meng Xiaoran didn't speak again, seeing Lu Ziqing's appearance, he was also used to living a good life, maybe Xiangfu didn't care about eating a meal at all, and spent 10,000 taels of gold for a box of Yurong ointment, what is these hundreds of taels of silver? Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoran was relieved.

After the food was delivered, Lu Ziqing took the lead in moving the chopsticks, grabbed an abalone and put it in her bowl, "Try it, it's very good." Meng Xiaoran thanked him, and the two ate silently without speaking, and only after eating did they serve tea before Lu Ziqing spoke.

"Miss Meng, can you tell Lu your real name."

Meng Xiaoran looked at him, then shook his head, "I can't tell you." After speaking, he stood up, "Lu Gongzi, I know you recognized me from the beginning, what do you want?" Now that I have the handle in your hands, are you going to threaten me next? ”

"What kind of thoughts did you have in mind for helping you many times in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Lu Ziqing's face flashed with injury, looked at her and said, "Miss Meng, I just want to know your name, why do you doubt me so much?" If I really want to threaten you with something, do I have to wait until now? You've been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few months, but I have never revealed your news, and for me, you are you, and I won't care about anything else. ”

Meng Xiaoran still couldn't believe him, took one last look at him and left the private room, put on a veil and left the restaurant, hurried back to the mold shop, and took the mold that had been prepared back to the prime minister's mansion.

Lu Ziqing sat there alone for a long time, the tea in front of him had long since lost its temperature, and he suddenly evoked a self-deprecating smile, "Okay, don't think about it anymore." ”

Back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Xiaoran sent the mold to the big kitchen, Aunt Hu and Li's mother were there, she taught the two how to use the mold, and on that day she would definitely not be busy alone, she had to help a few more people, this mold was simple, and after a while, both of them learned, and even Xiaocui, who was watching from the side, also understood how to do it.

Mother Li saw that Meng Xiaoran's face was a little tired, so she said with a smile: "Lufu, you go back and rest, you are busy enough this day, and there is nothing to do here." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, she was not tired, but she just had something in her heart, she was recognized by Lu Ziqing, this matter can be big or small, so far, Lu Ziqing does not seem to have malicious intentions, and she has helped several times in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she doesn't dare to guarantee that in the future, in short, this is a hidden danger, should she tell Shen Qian?

That night, Meng Xiaoran and Xiaocui had a night conversation in the house after washing, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say, Meng Xiaoran suddenly remembered Shen Qian for some reason, so he asked tentatively: "Xiaocui, have you heard of Shen Qian?" ”

Xiao Cui raised her head, "Shen Qian? You mean Shen Sangongzi? ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, Xiao Cui's eyes immediately lit up, and there was admiration in her words, "Who in this big business country doesn't know the third prince?" The third prince is not only talented, but also handsome and chic, graceful, and most importantly, the third prince is kind-hearted, very generous to the poor people, not to mention the rice and noodles sent on the fifteenth day of the month, and will give porridge and cotton clothes in winter, and the cold winter will come soon, and the third prince will definitely set up a porridge shed again. ”

"Shen Sangongzi is such a good person?"

"That's right, just the people of Yujing City, who doesn't say that the third prince is good?"

Meng Xiaoran didn't speak again, and there were some doubts in his heart, what kind of person is Shen Qian? What did he let himself do in the Prime Minister's Mansion for internal response? She gradually had doubts in her heart, and then shook her head, since she was already on his ship, don't think about it.
