Lin Ruan's master and servant were sitting in the pavilion eating tea and chatting, so happy.

The green calyx blinked sheepishly: "Does the county lord know who the girl who asked you to learn makeup at that time was?" ”

Lin Ruan said puzzledly: "It seems that the surname is Wu, right?" ”

At that time, Liu Guifei also talked to the girl, so she heard the girl's name clearly.

Lu Calyx smiled: "That is the granddaughter of Wu Ge Lao, the girl who was the most favored by the three princes before, Wu Yuyan." ”

Lin Ruan sizzled: "Then didn't Concubine Liu deliberately embarrass the girl by holding this flower-viewing banquet?" ”

Lu Calyx shook his head: "The third prince is a shrewd person, although he likes others, he may not be able to pick out the words." is so ambiguous, what can a girl say? If it spreads, it will end up with an ugly reputation. ”

Lin Ruan's impression of the third prince was a little worse, he pursed his lips disdainfully, lifted the small teapot on the stove, and poured himself another cup of tea.

shook the teapot: "There's no water, flying flotsam, your feet are fast, go get some water"

Fei Xu turned his head and glanced around, there were no noble ladies coming over by the lake, so the palace maids and little eunuchs in the palace were not guarding here. So he said: "County master, the slave is responsible for your safety, let the green calyx go." ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand: "This is the palace, the safest place in the world." The green calyx walks slowly, and I don't know how much time it will take to come back and forth, so you hurry up, go and come back quickly. ”

Fei Fu thought about it, so he picked up the teapot and said: "Then the county lord don't run around, just wait for the slave here." ”

Lin Ruan readily agreed: "Of course." ”

Not long after Fei Fu left, a girl with a pair of cat's eyes took her maid and looked for her.

When they arrived outside the pavilion, the girl said to Lin Ruan, "Lord Fuyou, can I go over?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded: "Of course you can." ”

The cat-eyed girl suddenly smiled, a pair of cat's eyes bent into a pair of crescents, raised her feet and ran into the pavilion, her maidservant girl followed, and kept saying, "Slow down, girl, beware of falling." ”

"Oh, I'm not a three-year-old child, are you bothered?"

The cat-eyed girl ran into the pavilion and saluted Lin Ruan: "I have seen the county lord, my name is Tong Miaoxin, and I am the youngest daughter of Tong Yuankai, the servant of the ministry, and I am fourteen this year." ”

Lin Ruan has a good impression of this Tong Miaoxin.

This girl is very cute, with round eyes and a round face, and she is a girl with a very good personality at first glance. The point is that those big round eyes are pure and flawless, like a child.

"Miss Tong doesn't have to be polite, you came to me on purpose?"

Tong Miaoxin smiled and nodded: "County Lord, I came to you to ask for something." ”

Lin Ruan smiled and pointed to the stool opposite: "Then sit down and talk while drinking." ”

Tong Miaoxin thanked her, sat down opposite, and then spoke: "County Lord, what I want to ask you is, can you take me as an apprentice?" ”

Lin Ruan didn't expect this to happen at all, so he said very unexpectedly: "Why does Miss Tong want people to worship me as a teacher? ”

Tong Miaoxin pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly: "I want to learn to make cakes from you." Since I was a child, I have loved to eat all kinds of sweets, and I love to make my own sweets. I've been a regular visitor to the Sweet Cottage ever since it opened, and I've spent a lot of money there just to taste the recipe for the cake and then go home and make it myself. It's a pity that I have gained a few pounds of weight, and I haven't been able to taste the formula. ”

"Well, I'd never dreamed of wondering how those cakes were made. I also went to the store to ask the shopkeeper of Chunyu, and all the shopkeepers of Chunyu said that it was the secret recipe of the store and could not be passed on. That's why I've been looking forward to your return to Kyoto. A few days ago, I wanted to go to your house to find you, but my mother detained me and didn't let me disturb you. I met you here today, and I wanted to ask. County Lord, can you grant my request? ”

After speaking, Tong Miao looked at Lin Ruan with a blank eye, and almost didn't put his hand on his chest and prayed.

Lin Ruan looked at those watery, puppy-like eyes, and couldn't help but want to laugh: "Miss Tong, what are you doing here?" Wouldn't it be better to go straight to the store and eat it? ”

Tong Miaoxin shook her head: "I think what I make tastes more delicious." ”

Although Lin Ruan felt that Tong Miaoxin was very honest, he still refused very cruelly: "I'm sorry Miss Tong, I really can't teach you this, this is the secret recipe of the Sweet Hut, and it will never be passed on." It's not that I don't believe in Miss Tong's character, but I can't open this opening. Taught you, if someone else comes to me, how do I say no? When the time comes, everyone will be making cakes, and my business will not be able to be saved. So please forgive Miss Tong. ”

Tong Miaoxin sighed very disappointed: "Okay, it's really the same as I thought." It's my request that is too much, county lord, I'm sorry to embarrass you. ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said: "Miss Tong doesn't have to be so lost, I will send a distinguished guest card to Miss Tong, and in the future, Miss Tong will go to the sweet hut to eat, and she can enjoy a 50% discount." ”

"Compared to what I made myself, I think it tastes better than what other people can buy for less."

Tong Miaoxin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow, county lord, you are so good, too generous!" I'm suddenly kind of fond of you! ”

Lin Ruan was amused by Tong Miaoxin's innocent appearance, as if she had seen a grown version of Xiuxiu.

The two were talking very happily, when a roar suddenly came from outside the pavilion: "Lin Ruan, get out of here!" ”

The people in the pavilion all turned their heads, and saw Gu Ruan with her maid ring, blocking the entrance of the pavilion with a fierce attitude.

Tong Miaoxin stood up nervously: "Miss Gu, what are you doing?" Don't mess around, this is in the palace. ”

Gu Ruan glared at Tong Miaoxin fiercely: "Tong Miaoxin, don't think that if you have such a relationship as your aunt, I won't dare to do anything to you!" Get the hell out of my way, or don't blame me for being rude. ”

Tong Miaoxin's face turned white with fright, but she didn't leave. Obviously, she was afraid that after she left, Gu Ruan would be unfavorable to Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan originally wanted Tong Miaoxin to go first, but Gu Ruan took his two maid rings and blocked the entrance to the pavilion.

And listening to Gu Ruan's words, Tong Miaoxin should have a little kinship with Gu Ruan, and she wouldn't be embarrassed if she thought about it, so she smiled at Tong Miaoxin: "Miss Tong, don't worry, just sit down." ”

Tong Miao wanted to remind Lin Ruan that Gu Ruan was very difficult to get along with, and relying on the momentum of the Dingguo Mansion, no one had anyone in her eyes all the time, but it was not good to be locked in front of Gu Ruan, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to look at Lin Ruan worriedly.

Lin Ruan received a reminder from his eyes, smiled at her, and signaled her not to worry.

Gu Ruan saw that the two of them had been there "eyebrows", and he didn't take her in his eyes at all, so he immediately ran into the pavilion with Yahuan angrily.

"Lin Ruan, explain to me clearly, what is the relationship between you and Prince Xiao?"

Lin Ruan raised his head lightly and asked, "Who are you?" ”
