At the dinner table, Bishui elegantly finished his meal and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

The maidservant next to her brought salt water to rinse her mouth. She rinsed her mouth and cleaned her face before she stood up.

"The chefs in your house are very skilled. Liangong ...... I mean, even the best chefs in Beijing don't have that kind of craft. ”

The maidservant spoke proudly: "The cook lady has no such skills. It was a meal that our eldest lady personally prepared for you, young lady. ”

"Your eldest miss?" Bishui was surprised. "You mean to say that the meal just now is Yuqin's sister's handiwork?"

"Yes." The handmaid nodded. "The eldest lady is used to cooking for her family. The cooks in our house only prepare meals for the servants. The hosts' meals are all prepared by our eldest lady herself. Sometimes the eldest lady is free, and she will fry a few dishes for the servants to change the taste. ”

"That'...... Has the Ling Gongzi next door ever eaten the food cooked by your eldest lady? Bishui wrung his handkerchief, his tone was calm, but his heart was not calm.

has liked Ling Shengyi for so many years, and no one knows better than her how picky he is. And in order to be able to enter his heart, she even asked the best master in the imperial dining room to teach her cooking, but it still didn't impress him. And today, after tasting Chu Yuqin's craftsmanship, she knew that there was such a delicious meal in the world.

They are neighbors. Judging from the good neighborhood relationship between the two, there should be no less contact with each other.

Since they are friends, it is even more common for them to visit each other. Besides, Ling Shengyi has painted so many portraits of Chu Yuqin, how can he be just a friend?

Bi Shui's heart is very entangled.

She admires Chu Yuqin and thinks she is a rare cheerful person.

These days, the two have talked about many other things besides the topic of appearance.

Bi Shui has met many people, but few of them meet her appetite like Chu Yuqin, making her really want to make friends. As a result, the two just became friends. She found that the man she had liked for many years had an extraordinary relationship with this new friend.

Fortunately, Chu Yuqin didn't have any other thoughts about Ling Shengyi, so she still had a chance. As long as Ling Shengyi leaves here and returns to the capital, there is almost no possibility for the two to meet again, after a long time, he must forget that he has met such a civilian woman!

The maidservant girl listened to Bi Shui's words and was about to answer, when she saw Chu Yuqin walking towards here.

She was blessed: "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Bishui turned his head and looked at Chu Yuqin: "Aren't you going to the Thousand Faces Pavilion today?" ”

"I'm going to leave with Brother Zhu for a few days. Are you going back to the city, or are you staying here? If you choose to stay here, if there is anything to do, ask our second butler. Chu Yuqin said.

"Where are you going?" Bishui asked curiously.

"We have been short of raw materials lately. It's fresh flowers. You also know that the business of Thousand Faces Pavilion is very good, and it has to entertain many customers every day. In addition, we also have cooperation with the Zheng family. The Zheng family needs a large amount of goods there. If this continues, we will not have enough raw materials here. Only look elsewhere. Brother Zhu heard that there was a village that specialized in growing flowers and selling them. In the past, it was sold to those small traders to make sachets or rouge gouache. I'd like to check it out and see if I can work with them. ”

"Far from here?" Bishui asked again.

"It's about two days away!" Chu Yuqin finished answering and looked at her. "What are you asking for?"

Bishui smiled: "I'll go too!" It just so happened that I also wanted to walk around and see the scenery here. Since it is a village where flowers are grown, it must be beautiful. ”

"Brother Zhu and I are going to discuss business, and we may not have this time......"

Chu Yuqin didn't finish her words, and saw Bishui pressing her lips with her fingers.

Bishui smiled: "You just have to go about your business." I won't bother you. ”

"But ......"

Bishui pushed Chu Yuqin out of the door: "Go and pack your luggage!" I'm not going to clean it up. If you need anything, you can buy it on the road when the time comes. ”

Chu Yuqin saw that Bishui was hard-hearted, so he had to let her go.

She and Zhu Han packed up their things.

Bishui walked in from the outside and said softly, "Let's go!" The carriage was waiting outside. ”

Zhu Han was carrying two burdens, one of which belonged to Chu Yuqin.

The two followed Bishui to the door.

When he saw the figure with his back to them, Chu Yuqin showed surprise on his face.

"Brother Ling, ...... you are"

Ling Shengyi turned around and looked over.

Bishui explained: "When the time comes, you will be busy with business matters, and I am bored alone, so I want to ask Brother Yi to accompany me." Brother Yi didn't have anything to do lately, so he agreed. ”

"It's just that I am too busy to relax during this time, and since it is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, it must be a good place to relax." Ling Shengyi said lightly.

"Then get in the car!" Chu Yuqin got into the carriage.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Han stopped Chu Yuqin. "Let's change the carriage in our house!"

"Why?" Bishui asked. "Brother Yi's carriage is bigger and more comfortable, isn't it?"

"That's why we have to change the carriage in our house." Zhu Han looked at Ling Shengyi. "Ling Gongzi should understand what I mean."

Ling Shengyi stretched out his hand towards Chu Yuqin: "It's me who didn't think it through." Come down! Change the carriage again. ”

In the end, the carriage of the Chu Mansion was not used, and the carriage of Ling Shengyi was still used. It's just that it's a low-key one, and it's not so public.

Because of the addition of clear water, the two-day journey was extended to four days. On the fourth day, they finally arrived at the legendary village of the god of flowers.

"Do you smell it? It smells so good! Bishui pulled Chu Yuqin's sleeve. The scent here is more fragrant than your perfume. ”

"Perfume is meant to be a scent extracted from plants. I make a living by raising flowers here, so the flowers are much more complete than in the yard of our Chu Mansion. All kinds of flowers bloom one after another, and the natural fragrance spreads, which can naturally become the sweetest flavor. ”

The carriage drove directly to the village.

Children playing in the village are not afraid to see strangers, which shows that they often see strangers.

"This little brother, I don't know where your village chief is?" Zhu Han asked the villagers passing by.

The villager pointed to the large courtyard not far away and said, "There is a tallest peach tree in the courtyard of our village chief's house. You can find it by following that tree. ”

"Thank you, little brother." Zhu Han thanked him and helped Chu Yuqin down from the carriage.

Ling Shengyi followed closely and got out of the carriage.

The blue water came down last. Seeing that Ling Shengyi was not as 'graceful' as Zhu Han, he was a little disappointed.

"It's so beautiful here! And the villagers here are doing well. You look at the clothes they wear, there are very few patches. Bishui said.

"Let's go find the village chief! If you want to cooperate with them, the village chief is the one who makes the decision. Chu Yuqin said: "Sister Bishui is not interested in these, you can take a look around." Brother Ling, what do you say? ”
