Chapter 21: Offering the Cake
"Besides, who are you? What reason do you have to vent my anger? Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Hui Shangyi and said.
"You ......" Hui Shangyi pointed at Xiao Li with his finger, unable to speak for a long time.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine now, you can go!" Xiao Li waved his hand at Hui Shangyi and motioned for him to go out.
In desperation, Hui Shangyi had no choice but to go out with a black face. His kindness has not been repaid, why does Xiao Li hate him so much? He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't be friends. At the same time, he was a little disgusted with Xu Caiyi. This vicious woman, he can't wait to beat her up now. Hui Shangyi was extremely aggrieved and went to Xie Mansion to discuss the military with Xie Yunxiu.
"Young lady, why are you doing this to the young general?" Snowflake said in a reproachful tone.
"Eh, why are your arms out, girl?" Xiao Li looked at Xuehua angrily and said, "Are you my maid or Hui Shangyi's maid?" Every time you help that person speak. ”
"Young lady, I just think you are too cruel to the young general." Xuehua pouted and said, "You don't know that the young general was in a hurry when he carried you into the yard!" He forgot to change his wet clothes and kept watching you by the bedside! ”
After Xiao Li heard this, he was stunned. She didn't expect Hui Shangyi to treat her like this.
"Fortunately, young lady, you're okay, otherwise we'd be dead!" Xuehua said while cleaning up, "How good the young general is to you, why are you doing this to the young general, young lady!" ”
"Okay, okay, let's get out!" Xiao Li didn't want to listen to Xuehua anymore, so he simply kicked them all out, "I'm going to rest!" ”
Originally, Xuehua wanted to continue, but as soon as she heard Xiao Li say that she wanted to rest, she immediately stopped talking, and then quietly retreated.
"Ji Yue, you can play the piano for me." Xiao Li didn't die, she always had to enjoy it, so she stopped Ji Yue.
Ji Yue sat in the courtyard with the piano in her arms and plucked the strings gently. The music sounded in the courtyard, which made people listen to it very relaxed. But when I listen to this melody, it doesn't look like the style of Shengguo, like the style of other countries. Ji Yue is an orphan girl, with such good piano skills, and she can also do martial arts, she must not be simple.
Xiao Li found a comfortable position and lay on the bed, thinking about how to deal with Xu Caiyi in his mind. She really couldn't figure out why Xu Caiyi wanted to kill her. Even if she hurt Xu Caiyi that day, she wouldn't have retaliated so ruthlessly, there were definitely other reasons.
Could it be that Xu Caiyi likes Hui Shangyi? After analysis, Xiao Li felt that this reason was the most reasonable, after all, a woman would do anything for a man.
Xiao Li couldn't help smacking his tongue, he didn't expect that there were really people who liked the man Hui Shangyi. Xiao Li couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, and secretly laughed at Xu Caiyi's poor vision.
As the sky got dark, Ji Yue stopped playing the piano and asked Xiao Li to come out to eat. Because Xiao Li didn't want to see Xu Caiyi, he simply ate in the room on the grounds that he was uncomfortable.
As soon as Old Lady Hui heard that Xiao Li was not feeling well, she immediately walked into Xiao Li's courtyard to see Xiao Li.
"Daughter-in-law grand, what's wrong with you?" Old lady Hui hurriedly walked in and asked, "Are you cold?" ”
"Grandpa, I'm fine, I'm in good health!" Xiao Li was a little moved, because Old Lady Hui was really good to her. She had never enjoyed the love of her grandparents before, and suddenly there was such a grandfather who cared for her, which moved her very much, and her nose moved.
"You have a good rest!" Old Lady Hui took her hand and said, "If you have any need, just tell that stinky boy, if he dares to disobey, see if I don't kill him!" ”
Old lady Hui's appearance was extremely cute, which made Xiao Li laugh out loud. It's nice to have such an energetic grandfather!
"Then you can rest first, and grandpa won't disturb your rest." Old lady Hui suddenly realized something and immediately walked out of the courtyard.
Xiao Li nodded and watched Old Lady Hui leave. In fact, Xiao Li is really fine, her previous job, she had to work outside every day, and she has developed a strong body. At the end of the day, I didn't even have a cold, which was enviable.
The next day, Xiao Li got up very early, because another day would be the seventieth birthday of Old Lady Hui, and she had to prepare the cake.
"Meihua, you go to that milk shop and buy a can of milk." Xiao Li asked them to help her sort out her cumbersome clothes and then said to Meihua.
"Lotus, you can come along. Buy more fruit and flour to come back. Xiao Li thought about it and asked the lotus to follow.
Plum Blossom and Lotus went shopping on the street as ordered, leaving only Ji Yue to help her fix her hair.
"Ji Yue, what are the tunes you play?" Xiao Li suddenly raised his head and asked.
"I learned these tunes from all over the world, and I didn't know the names of the tunes." Ji Yue paused for a moment, and then continued the movement in his hand.
"I want to learn too, can you teach me?" Xiao Li turned his head and asked, "By the way, there is also light skills, I still want to learn light skills." ”
"The young lady wants to learn, I will naturally teach you everything I know, but ......" Ji Yue hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just that I'm not good at light skills, and I may not be able to teach the young lady. Maybe the young lady will learn from the young general? Ji Yue looked at Xiao Li and asked tentatively.
"Forget it, let me go to him to learn martial arts, and don't let me die!" Xiao Li made a movement to wipe his neck, which looked very cute and amused Ji Yue.
After a while, the plum blossom and lotus flower returned, and both hands were full of things. Xiao Li took the things and started to make cakes, this time he was more experienced than last time, and several people were proficient in making them.
This time, Xiao Li deliberately controlled the heat, although it was very hot, she still endured it patiently. So this time it was obviously more fragrant than the last time, so that everyone present was attracted by the fragrance.
"Young lady, it seems that you have done better than last time!" Snowflake said happily.
"That's for sure, don't look at who I am!" Xiao Li raised his chin proudly.
This time, Xiao Li not only put a layer of cream on the cake, but also made jam and put it on top of the cake to make the cake look more attractive.
"Wow! This one looks delicious! Snowflake began to swallow non-stop.
Xiao Li picked up the cake, shook his head and said to Xuehua: "No! It's a gift for grandpa! ”
Xuehua also knew that Xiao Li wanted to give this cake to Mrs. Hui, so she had to look at this cake and swallow her saliva non-stop.
Xiao Li took the cake and walked to the ice cellar, putting the cake in the ice cellar in this weather not only keeps the quality, but also has a cool feeling when it is taken out, and the taste should be very good. After putting the cake, Xiao Li made some bread and gave it to a few people to eat as a snack.
"If only I could eat bread and cake every day! It's delicious! Xuehua said with a satisfied face.
"Eat every day, and you won't get tired of eating!" Xiao Li said with a smile.
"No, no, no! I can't get tired of what the young lady makes! Snowflake also slapped a sycophant.
"By the way, are there any of those very small candles?" Xiao Li asked suddenly, drawing the shape of a candle in his hand.
The plum blossoms all shook their heads and said, "Qi Su only has that kind of coarse lighting, not the kind that the young lady said." ”
Xiao Li was a little disappointed, so he couldn't make that kind of effect of blowing out candles. Xiao Li thought about it and chose to send the cake out at noon.
On the day of Mrs. Hui's birthday, Hui's mansion can be described as crowded. The Hui family is very famous, and this time the 70th birthday of the old lady Hui is a big event, so many people come to visit.
Usually Xiao Li would sleep until late before getting up, but today Xiao Li was woken up at dawn. She looked out the door impatiently, covered the quilt and went back to sleep.
"Li'er, get up! We're going to have a tea ceremony! Today is Grandpa's birthday! Hui Shangyi shouted outside the door now.
After Xiao Li pretended to be dead for a while, Hui Shangyi was still knocking on the door, so she had to reply: "You wait for a while, I'll come right away." ”
After that, she asked Ji Yue and Meihua to help her get dressed and wash and so on. Because today is a big day, Xiao Li was carefully dressed up by them. I have to say that Xiao Li is a very attractive beauty, very suitable for ancient costumes.
When she packed up and came out to see Hui Shangyi, Hui Shangyi was fascinated by Xiao Li's beauty.
Xiao Li was wearing a long lake blue skirt with a light blue veil on the outside, which looked dreamy. There was not much jewelry on the head, just a wooden hairpin inlaid with emeralds. The whole person looks fresh and refined, and does not eat the fireworks of the world.
"Hey! Have you seen enough? As soon as Xiao Li spoke, he lost all the atmosphere he had created.
Hui Shangyi also came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Li'er, you are so beautiful. ”
"Don't compliment me like that, I know I'm beautiful." Xiao Li said confidently.
Her words made Ji Yue and Meihua, who were following behind, cry and laugh, why didn't this young lady say anything polite.
"Today, grandpa is 70th birthday, it doesn't matter if you don't prepare a gift, I have prepared your share." Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li walked side by side and said.
"What do you have in store?" Xiao Li glanced at him and asked.
"I've got a short knife." Hui Shangyi said confidently, "Grandpa will definitely like it!" ”
"Then you just have to prepare your own, how do you know that I don't have a gift?" Xiao Li said to Shanghui Shangyi's eyes.
"You haven't been available for the past few days, and you fell into the water the day before yesterday, so I thought you didn't have time to prepare."
"I was ready yesterday, you don't have to worry." Xiao Li also said confidently, "Grandpa will definitely like my gift!" ”
Because Old Lady Hui had too many people to deal with, he didn't say a few words after Xiao Li and the others finished the tea, and went to talk to others.
At noon, Xiao Li quietly left his seat and went to the ice cellar to take out the cake.
"Grandpa, this is my birthday present to you!" Xiao Li walked out with a good-looking cake and said to Mrs. Hui.
