Lao Dao naturally won't go back with him, Zhao Chen has long known this, he came to Yongpingfang, and he didn't expect Lao Dao to go back with him, everyone has everyone's insistence, and Zhao Chen has no right to force this.

Coming out of Yongpingfang, Zhao Chen got into Muqiu's carriage and went straight to Chang'an County. Crossing Suzaku Street, passing by a street, I saw wheat standing at the door of the street from a distance, looking sideways and secretly looking into the street.

Zhao Chen originally wanted to call it wheat, but when he saw this, he suddenly became a little strange. The appearance of the wheat already clearly told him that there must be someone in the workshop who was affecting this girl.

At this time, the position he parked happened to be opposite the wheat, so Zhao Chen simply got out of the carriage, stood on the carriage, looked over the low wall, and looked in.

As a result, when I looked in, I saw a woman in tattered clothes, with a young child on her back, begging in the street, followed by a boy of five or six years old.

Seeing this woman, and then looking at the wheat over there, Zhao Chen still didn't understand in his heart, sighed slightly, got back into the carriage, greeted Muqiu, and the carriage went straight to Xinghuafang.

"Let the stone go and find out!" Back at the house, Zhao Chen turned around and gave a word to Mu Qiu, and walked towards the study.

The scene last year is still in Zhao Chen's mind, so from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Chen actually doesn't have much affection for this woman. However, just seeing Wheat's pitiful appearance, Zhao Chen admitted that he was moved by compassion.

Some feelings are not completely neglected because of the indifference of one party, just like wheat, even if they are sold. suffered a lot of humiliation, and in the end, it was equivalent to betraying again, but in my heart, I still longed for that kind of family affection.

Shi Shi is a clever child, and when he heard Zhao Chen's order, he hurriedly ran to inquire. In just half an hour, I inquired from the outside.

The woman was indeed Wheat's mother, but life was quite miserable, and the man who had sold the wheat had disappeared last year.

About that, after Zhao Chen was ordered to drive away by Zhao Chen, he left his wife and children. I went to beg for a living alone.

In the past year, Mai's mother has been begging for a living in Chang'an City with two young children.

"Sure enough!" After Zhao Chen heard the news from the stone, he couldn't help but pouted and sneered, and said.

When he returned, Wheat's heart was empty. It feels like the whole portrait has been hollowed out because of the reason for crying. Both eyes were red. All the money on her body was given by her to the woman called her mother, which was the money she had saved for a long time, and this time, it was all gone.

In fact, Mai Jue is still from the heart. Those who resented the woman, especially, saw the two young children beside the woman, even if it was begging, the woman refused to let go.

So. This resentment is born of jealousy!

When she returned home, Wheat rubbed her cheeks vigorously, she didn't want anyone to find out that she cried, and she didn't want people to know that she was crying because of the woman who had abandoned her.

Bored squatting on the stone at the door, as soon as he saw Wheat coming back, he immediately told Wheat that Master Hou was waiting for her in the kitchen, and asked her to come to the kitchen immediately after she came back.

As soon as Mai heard Zhao Chen call her, she dared to rub there, and she didn't care about talking to the stone, so she ran towards the kitchen with her skirt.

At this moment, the kitchen was smoky, and before he got close to the kitchen, he heard Zhao Chen's violent coughing, and he was angry and complained about the fireman who had just burned the fire.

When Wheat went in in confusion, he saw a puff of yellow smoke and a strange smell of burnt paste in the cauldron on the stove, which permeated the entire kitchen.

"Coming back?" Zhao Chen was choked by the smoke and coughed repeatedly, and the wheat he saw came back from outside, turned around and asked casually. Without waiting for Wheat to speak, he immediately turned around again and ordered all the burnt things in the pot to be cleaned up.

"Come and watch!" After a while, the cauldron was washed again, Zhao Chen turned his head and beckoned to the wheat, and waited until the wheat stood beside him suspiciously, then he grabbed a large handful of cane sugar from the plate next to him and put it in the cauldron.

Mai blinked suspiciously, not understanding what this was doing, thinking that it was Hou Ye who wanted to teach her to cook, and in the future, let her cook it for Hou Ye herself?

Thinking of this, Mai didn't dare to be sloppy, his eyes widened, and he looked seriously at the cauldron.

A large handful of sucrose went down, and after a while, the sucrose in the cauldron turned into a sticky syrup, yellow.

Zhao Chen picked up a long skewer, dipped it in the syrup, and saw that when the skewer was picked up, the syrup on it was drawn, so he said to the wheat: "Every time you boil the syrup, you can boil it like this, and then you should use a simmer!" ”

When the fireworker heard Zhao Chen's words, he hurriedly suppressed the fire in the stove, leaving a single flame behind.

The syrup in the cauldron was still bubbling, and Zhao Chen casually picked up the plate on the side. On the plate are strings of hawthorn that have been prepared long ago: "The hawthorn is washed every time, cut in half, remove the seeds inside, and string them together!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Chen put the strings of hawthorn into the bubbling syrup one by one, and rummaged around with a long skewer, telling the wheat: "The hawthorn in the pot, remember not too long, as long as you see that the hawthorn is all stained with syrup, you can take it out of the pot!" ”

When these words fell, Zhao Chen really took out all the hawthorns that had just been put in the pot and put them on a plate.

The hawthorns that have just come out of the pot are all dyed with syrup, and when they are placed on the plate, they are all stuck together and steaming. Zhao Chen called a fireman next to him, holding the hawthorn that had just come out of the pot, and went outside to cool the ice.

After a while, the fireman chilled the syrup-dyed hawthorn, re-took the plate, and walked in.

"Try the sugar gourd made by your lord!" Zhao Chen took the plate, picked up a sugar gourd, handed it to the wheat, and said with a smile.

At this time, the sugar gourd that had been dried, and the brushed syrup on it had been completely solidified, as if they had been wrapped in a layer of ice, and the red hawthorns were all wrapped in it, which looked like amber.

Wheat took the sugar gourd, took it in his hand and looked at it, and opened his mouth under Zhao Chen's gaze. Took a gentle bite. Sweet, sour, and then the two flavors are mixed together, and the bite is 'squeaky' in the mouth, which is very sticky, but the taste is very good.

"How?" Zhao Chen smiled, looked at the wheat and ate the top hawthorn. Only then did he ask with a smile.

"Delicious!" This wheat is not a slap on Zhao Chen's ass, but it is indeed delicious.

"Na!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately handed the plate to the wheat and said, "Have you learned everything?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Wheat nodded vigorously. This girl is ingenious, she doesn't do anything, but she is very serious, just Zhao Chen told her to look at it seriously, and she didn't even dare to blink her eyes. Naturally, I saw all these steps in my eyes.

"That's good!" Zhao Chen said with a smile: "I have instructed Steward Zhang to go to the fang to find an empty yard, and arrange your mother there for the time being, and in the future, this sugar gourd will be taught to your mother, and if it is done, it can also feed the three of them!" ”

As a result, Wheat's mouth bent slightly, and his eyes turned red. The wings of his nose fanned slightly, and the tears were like beads of broken threads. 'Click, click, click' began to fall.

"Don't cry!" Zhao Chen looked at the wheat, sighed in his heart, stretched out his fingers, gently wiped away the tears on the wheat's cheeks, and said in a stern tone.

“… Well! Wheat's mouth was slightly open. The hawthorn that had just been eaten in his mouth had not yet been swallowed completely, and the tears in his eyes kept rolling down, and the sound seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. Dumb.

"Let's cry!" When Zhao Chen saw the wheat like this, he couldn't help but sigh and said as if compromised.

As soon as the words fell, Wheat seemed to suddenly open the floodgates, and with a 'wow', he cried out loud. The woman's heart is already very soft, and a few cooks in the kitchen saw the wheat crying, and they also cried at once, and in an instant, there was a cry in the kitchen.

"All the money?" After crying for a long time, Zhao Chen wiped the tears from Wheat's face, looked directly at Wheat, and asked.

Seeing that the wheat nodded, Zhao Chen immediately rubbed the wheat hair, and said angrily: "Stupid!" There are so many things that your Hou Ye knows, just one casual is enough for them to eat and wear, so they can't cheat some craftsmanship from your Hou Ye! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Lu had already come back from outside, standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at a room of people with red and swollen eyes crying, he smiled at Zhao Chen awkwardly, and said, "According to Master Hou's instructions, it has been settled!" ”

"Hmm!" When Zhao Chen heard this, his eyes turned to wheat and said with a smile: "Go!" Tonight, Hou Ye will give you a vacation, go back and spend Chinese New Year's Eve with your mother! ”

In the end, wheat was sent by Zhao Chen to the mother-daughter reunion, such a day, it should have been a family fun that wheat should have enjoyed a long time ago!

Seeing the wheat crying and leaving, Zhao Chen sighed, and when he turned around, he announced to the people in the Hou Mansion that it was the New Year.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Chang'an City, the sound of firecrackers, tonight's Chang'an City, the curfew was lifted, so the streets were full of joy.

When everyone put their eyes on the burning firecrackers, a dazzling fire suddenly rose into the sky, and then, an explosion was heard in the night sky, and the next moment in the night sky, a huge spark bloomed, and the entire Chang'an City was suddenly shining.

When the first fireworks were in full bloom in the night sky, the people of Chang'an saw it, not cheering, but being shocked.

It's just that the chaos hasn't started yet, and then I was told that this is the fireworks released from the Chang'an Hou Mansion, which are exactly the same as firecrackers, so everyone raised their heads at this moment and began to cheer and enjoy the various fireworks in the night sky.

In the palace, Li Er and his wife were wearing thick robes and standing in the Taiji Palace, including Li Chengqian's brothers and sisters and Lao Li. Everywhere outside the palace, Suzaku Street and Chang'an Wannian County, almost everyone looked up at the night sky illuminated by fireworks.

"Do you like it?" When the fireworks lit up the night sky, when everyone looked up, Zhao Chen took Qin Yuyan's hand, sat in the Hou Mansion, and asked quietly.

"Hmm!" Qin Yuyan looked up at the fireworks in the night sky, and listened to the sound of Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo and others outside, competing to set off fireworks, and hummed softly. (To be continued......)
