Chapter 131, Peach Blossom Cake
The entire Ji Mansion was in mourning, and the people who walked in were all red-eyed and very painful.
"It's still early, how about a few young ladies go out for a walk with me?" A young lady of fifteen or sixteen years old stood up and proposed, her eyes slightly red.
This person Qu Moying knows, Xiao Haitang, Xiao's niece.
There are only three young ladies in Ling Anboji's mansion, they are Ji Youran, the eldest Miss Ji, who is in the second room, Ji Hanyue and the third Miss Ji Yanyue are in the big room, in addition, there is also an eldest son in the second room, Ji Yuanxing, who is Ji Youran's own brother, and as for the second son, he was also born in the second room, but he is a concubine.
Because the long house has no heirs, everyone knows that this eldest prince Ji will inherit the entire Ling Anbo Mansion in the future.
Even if this title was an uncle's before, it will eventually fall to him.
Therefore, the second room of the Ji Mansion is not small, and the subordinates in the house know that everything in the last place will be given to the second room, but because the big house has no son, the current title is in the big house, and it is a first-class general Jianwei, plus Ji Hanyue is still the future princess of the East Palace, and the people in the house dare not offend the big house.
The two rooms have been very balanced before, after Mrs. Bo's Da Yue clan is gone, this steward falls on the Xiao family in the second room, but even the second room lady is in charge, and she also does a good job in the big room, not only as always, but sometimes the second room also takes the initiative to back down, in the eyes of outsiders, the second room of the Ji Mansion is doing very well, and it is also quite affectionate.
Ji Hanyue also thought so before, and even felt that Xiao and Ji Youran were wholeheartedly good to them, but now that I think about it, it was just a joke, with her identity at the time, Xiao and Ji Youran also had to scold her, how dare they treat them badly?
If this property and title collide with a monstrous power, what is it!
As for the Xiao Haitang in front of him, because there are no other young ladies in the Ji Mansion who have not left the cabinet, it is also a very normal thing to help the Xiao family receive her, not to mention that Qu Moying also knows that the Xiao family is very satisfied with this niece, and wants to let this niece marry in.
Hearing Xiao Haitang say this, Qu Xuexin looked at Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai nodded.
Qu Xuexin stood up: "Then there is Miss Lao Xiao." ”
They also knew each other.
Qu Qiuyan and Qu Caiyue also stood up, Qu Moying hesitated slightly, raised his head and said, "I have some inconveniences, so I won't go out with my sisters, or accompany my grandmother." ”
"It's okay, we'll just walk around, and if we're tired, sit down and rest." Xiao Haitang persuaded.
"Shadow girl, go, I don't have anything to do here, just talk to Mrs. Ji, you go out for a walk with your sisters, and come back first when you're tired." Mrs. Qu also persuaded, afraid that Qu Moying would be too bored to follow her.
"Miss Qu Si will go and have a look together, when Miss Qu Si came over yesterday, she didn't accompany Miss Qu to take a good walk, now you can go and have a look." Xiao also persuaded.
As if there was no conflict with Qu Moying yesterday.
Hearing what they all said, Qu Moying could only stand up, salute a few people, and then follow everyone to the outside of the flower hall.
Qu Moying walked the slowest, and he didn't go far before he fell behind.
"Miss Qu Si is tired? Would you like to go over there and rest for a while? Xiao Haitang led everyone to wait for Qu Moying to come over, waited for her to come, and looked at her with a smile.
Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked at the pavilion on the side, and shook his head: "No need, Miss Xiao, you just have to go by yourself, I walk slowly, if you are tired, you can rest by yourself." ”
"So what's so embarrassing? Miss Qu Si is not in good health, and it is inconvenient for us to walk fast, it is better to do this, Miss Qu San has also been to our house in the past, why don't Miss Qu San accompany the eldest lady and the second miss to walk, I will let people guide you, and I will accompany Miss Qu Si to fall behind? ”
Xiao Haitang arranged decently.
Qu Moying's heart moved, stopped, and looked at Qu Qiuyan, but saw that Qu Qiuyan also nodded, and said very happily: "Okay, then we will wait for you in front of you." ”
"Okay!" Xiao Haitang nodded softly, called Yahuan who led the way, led the way in front of the three people, and stayed with Qu Moying.
"Miss Qu Si, I am the maiden niece of Second Mrs. Xiao, I'm afraid Miss Qu Si hasn't seen me!" Xiao Haitang saw that the person in front of her was gone, and she also walked with a smile, and said to Qu Mo Ying very kindly.
"I've been in Zhuangzi before." Qu Moying smiled implicitly and explained.
"I know, I heard that Miss Qu Si has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has been raised in the deep boudoir, and now her health is better?" Xiao Haitang's gaze fell on Qu Moying's long veil, and asked with concern.
"It's okay now!" Qu Moying said vaguely.
"Miss Qu Si, you see the scenery in the corridor is good, let's go there and sit and take a little rest, just came all the way, I'm actually a little tired." Xiao Haitang stretched out his finger and pointed to a corridor in front of him, where there were not only corridors, but also a few bright Wei Zi peonies.
The flowers bloom beautifully, and the corridors and windows are more beautiful.
Qu Moying nodded, and the two of them took Yahuan all the way over, and sat down at the cloister at the turn, there was a breeze blowing, the flower branches were undulating, and the petals trembled slightly, vivid and charming, and lively.
"Fourth Miss Qu, I heard that you retired from the Marquis of Yongning Mansion before, and it was also because the Marquis of Yongning fell in love with the niece of Second Lady Qu, and then jumped into the lake to save Second Miss Duan?" Xiao Haitang turned his gaze back from a few flowers and asked softly.
Although this was inappropriate, she had a somewhat gentle look, but it lightened the sharpness of the sentence, as if she really cared about her and asked so.
"I don't know!" Qu Moying shook his head, his gaze did not retract, and still fell on the flowers in front of him.
"Yongning Hou Shizi also thought it was very good before, but now ...... It seems that her character is not good, Miss Qu Si is really wronged, and she will inevitably have a good relationship in the future. Xiao Haitang could see that Qu Moying didn't want to say much about it, so he also accepted the topic with interest and appeased Qu Moying.
"Thank you Miss Xiao for your kindness." Qu Moying nodded.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, as if they didn't know where to start, and the air was dull.
Qu Moying quietly watched the flowers in front of her, as if her attention was all on the flowers, and now it was not her who was in a hurry, it was Xiao Haitang, she was just a flower admirer.
Sure enough, Xiao Haitang turned around and said to a maid behind him: "There should be a dim sum room nearby, go get a few new dim sum." ”
"Miss, did the eldest prince make it for you before, do you want to take it?" After Yahuan walked a few steps in obedience, she suddenly turned back and asked.
Xiao Haitang, who asked this, was a little embarrassed, took a handkerchief and pasted it on the side of his slightly red face, and then said, "Go get it!" ”
Yahuan left, Xiao Haitang turned around a little shyly Qu Moying explained: "My cousin knows that I love to eat dim sum, and I will bring some new and different varieties over in the past, and I happen to have it today. ”
"Miss Xiao is so polite." Qu Moying thanked him.
"This ...... It's nothing. It seemed that Qu Moying became more and more shy, Xiao Haitang blushed and shook his hand, "My cousin actually wants to eat it himself, and he said that he brought it to me, but in fact, most of it is often eaten by him, a large plate of dim sum, and he eats more than me here." ”
"Mr. Ji is very affectionate to Miss Xiao." Qu Moying smiled and gave such a conclusion.
"This ...... In fact, it's nothing, it must be cousins who grew up together, and their feelings are naturally different. Xiao Haitang lowered his head and explained shyly.
That's what I'm talking about.
At this point, where does Qu Moying still have the reason that she doesn't understand the meaning, it is clear that this Miss Xiao knows Xiao's plan, this is to show in front of her that she and Ji Yuanxing are childhood sweethearts and two little guesses?
said that she was the person Ji Yuanxing identified.
"Congratulations, Miss Xiao." Qu Moying congratulated with a smile.
Xiao Haitang looked at Qu Moying with a little suspicion, and saw that she was smiling very generously and decently, and her expression was not the same.
"There's nothing to congratulate on this, it's just that my cousin is really good." Xiao Haitang was shy.
At this time, the Yahuan of Ji Mansion has already taken the dim sum, a total of five plates of beware, all of which are very exquisite, only one of the plates is the most prominent, flower-shaped pastry, the delicate place is full of lovely fragrance, raise your nose and smell, the faint peach blossom fragrance overflows from the pastry, which can arouse people's appetite.
"This is ......" Qu Moying's eyes were cold, but his face was not revealed, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the pastry in it, and asked Tong in surprise, "Why does it smell so good?" ”
"This is a peach blossom cake, not only fragrant, but also very delicious to eat, the top is a clean peach blossom petals, but different from the general peach blossom, I heard that it is not the flower species of the capital." Xiao Haitang explained with a smile, picked up one of them, and took a bite gently, "Miss Qu Si, you taste it!" ”
So, this is indeed the peach blossom tree planted in my mother's yard before? There are a few different peach blossoms there, which look like they are in this pastry.
And it's not just this, this recipe for making peach blossom cakes is also the recipe in Ji Hanyue's dowry, which was given to her mother when she was married in Yuefu in the past, and then passed it on to herself, when she was in Ji Mansion, she never took it out and did it, if it wasn't for the dowry that day, Mama Zhou took it over and let her take a look, and even she didn't know that there was such a recipe for cakes.
Now I see it in Ji Mansion, needless to say [Bayi Chinese Network], this is Ji Youran took it.
In other words, all his dowry went to Ji Youran.
Pei Luoan and Ji Youran took their lives, and they took their dowries with peace of mind! There was a hint of anger in his eyes.
"This is the peach blossom cake? Is it done according to the recipe? I heard that peach blossom petals into the cake, if it is not handled properly, it will be counterproductive. Hiding the anger at the bottom of his eyes, Qu Moying's face was not obvious, and he asked slowly, with a little curiosity.
One sentence made Xiao Haitang's hand stop on the cake in embarrassment......
