Hao Ling looked at Ding Page with faint eyes, among which there were inquiries, persistence, and concern.

People in the world think that they are famous, but they don't know that the bigger the family, the more dark places there are, and the more places of intrigue. Looking at the entire Taihe County, because his father does not have many concubines and children, he is quite good in this regard.

Ding Yezi looked at the man in front of him in a daze, all the thoughts flashed in his mind, and in the end there was only one sentence left.

She smiled brightly, like a spring flower, in which her confidence and firmness were self-evident, she held his hand back, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you support me, there is nothing that can't be done." ”

A simple sentence, but a tacit understanding has been formed between two people. There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, just understand them by heart.

There were heavy footsteps sounding outside, only to hear Xiaohu raise his voice: "Guest officer, please inside." ”

Ding Yezi hurriedly let go of Hao Ling's hand, his cheeks flushed, he stood up, and said embarrassedly: "There are guests coming, I'll go out first, if you still want to eat another bowl, I'll serve it to you." ”

Hao Ling shook his head, also stood up, and said softly: "No, come back next time, I still have to go to the shop today, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

After that, Hao Ling didn't dwell on it, and strode out directly, just in time to meet the guests who were about to come in to eat tofu at the door. Fortunately, others didn't care, they just thought it was a well-eaten guest who went out.

Ding Page hurriedly put away the bowl on the table, wiped the table, and greeted the guests who had just come in with a smile: "Guest officer, sit here." ”

Xu was because of Hao Ling's words as a guarantee, and it was determined that Hao's proposal was in the past few days, and Ding Pagezi's heart slowly relaxed.

For Hao Ling, from the initial good impression to the current firm trust, the mental journey is not complicated, but it gives Ding Yezi another emotional cognition. Maybe it's destined by God, maybe it's her self-deception, no matter what, she just believes in him, believes in every word he says, believes that he will support her no matter what happens in the future, and will be on her side.

Throughout the afternoon, Ding Yezi had a warm smile on his face and greeted every guest politely. Xu is because the smile on her face is too bright, this afternoon's business is even better than usual, and the three buckets of tofu flowers are sold out early.

Ding Xiaohu happily cleaned up the bucket and basin, and whispered to Ding Page with a smile: "Eldest sister, although I look at you all afternoon laughing stupidly, it seems that everyone likes it a lot, and even the business is a lot better." ”

Ding Yezi threw him a knife in the eye, and deliberately said viciously: "Xiaohu, who do you say is stupid?" ”

Xiaohu smiled and said proudly: "Whoever should say it." ”

Ding Page slapped his head and snorted angrily, "Stinky boy, your wings are stiff, you dare to joke with your sister now." ”

Ding Xiaohu rubbed the painful place bitterly, and looked at Ding Page with a face full of grievances, "Sister, I didn't say anything about you, what are you excited about?" ”

"Hey...... You kid don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, so who do you say you just said? Ding Page was cheered.

Ding Xiaohu raised his head and said, "I said I was on the road." ”

Ding Yezi burst out laughing, knowing that this kid didn't dare to really her, that is, to make a childish fuss, which was harmless.

All afternoon, Shen Yan squatted in the kitchen, carefully looking at the pot of ginseng old chicken soup that was simmering in the stove in front of her, which she specially prepared for Hao Ling.

Dongmei looked at Shen Yandu and looked at the stove for an afternoon, and persuaded with some distress: "Miss, just stew this chicken soup, you go back and rest first, the slave will help you watch." ”

Shen Yan shook her head stubbornly, "It's okay, I'll just watch it myself." ”

Dongmei has been with Shen Yan for many years, and she also understands her temperament, although she is usually very talkative, but once she is strong, her temper can't be pulled back by ten cows, and she is very stubborn. She persuaded Shen Yan three times, but when she ignored her, she gave up.

A pot of chicken soup is simmered on low heat, and when it is stewed in the evening, the whole chicken has been stewed crispy, the essence of the fragrance in the flesh has been stewed into the soup, and the nutrition and essence of ginseng have also entered the meat.

Shen Yan looked at the fragrant chicken soup in the pot with satisfaction, thinking of her plan for tonight, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, but she was secretly praying in her heart, I hope everything goes well.

In the evening, Hao Mansion still got together as a family for dinner as usual, and Shen Yan sat obediently next to Hao Lingwei, except for glancing at Hao Ling when she first entered the door, she didn't show much on the side.

When the meal was over, they went back to their houses and looked for their own houses.

Shen Yan went back to the small kitchen, looked at the chicken soup that was still warm on the stove, and asked Dongmei to fill a bowl for Hao Lingwei, seeing Dongmei go out of the door of the small kitchen, she also hurriedly filled a bowl, took out the small paper bag that Aunt Shen gave her this morning, and poured all the medicinal powder in it into the soup.

Stirring well, Shen Yan looked at the bowl of soup with complicated eyes.

Although this method is obscene, if it can help her get what she wants, she will admit it.

Gritting her teeth, Shen Yan resolutely stood up, put the bowl of chicken soup on the tea tray, and personally served it to Hao Ling's courtyard.

At this time, Dongmei had just delivered the chicken soup to Hao Lingwei, and was about to go back, but Dai He grabbed her and said with a smile: "Sister Dongmei, I have always heard that your female celebrity is very good, I am just about to embroider a purse, I wonder if Sister Dongmei can help me take a look?" ”

Dai He is Hao Lingwei's personal maid, she has something to ask Dongmei, where is Dongmei embarrassed to refuse? Besides, she didn't have anything to do now, so it didn't hurt to take a look, so she responded to the substitution and taught her to embroider the purse.

Shen Yan arrived at the East Courtyard step by step, her steps did not stop, but her pace became slower and slower. She is a daughter after all, although she wants to marry Hao Ling very much, but it is really embarrassing to let her use such an unethical method.

The face of the woman selling tofu suddenly appeared in her mind, and thinking of her sloppy appearance of cutting tofu with her hands and feet, Shen Yan's heart was filled with strange feelings. She really didn't understand, what was so much better about that woman than her? Why would Hao Ling rather marry that woman than marry her?

Hatred and disobedience were entangled, she gritted her teeth and resolutely stepped into the east courtyard.

An Xin was not there, and the other subordinates in the east courtyard didn't know where they were, only there was a light in the study.

Shen Yan secretly thought that what her aunt said was indeed true, and everyone had been sent away by her thoughts. Shen Yan felt a lot of pressure, if she didn't succeed today, she would really be sorry for her aunt for putting so much thought into it.

Walking to the study, she reached out and tapped on the door of the study, and the voice of longing came from the room.

"Come in."

With a hint of sweetness in her heart, she gently pushed open the door and stepped forward. The person behind the bookcase still buried himself in the ledger, and didn't realize that it was her at all.

"Young Master, it's not too early, I just stewed a pot of chicken soup, I'll send you some to taste." Shen Yan said softly.

Hao Ling raised his head suddenly, and was shocked to find that Shen Yan had come to his study at some point.

"When did you come?" Hao Ling frowned slightly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Shen Yan is such a sensitive person, how could she not hear what Hao Ling meant? Her eyes turned red, and she bit her lower lip, trying to tell herself in her heart that as long as tonight's affair was done and she became his wife, he would never speak to her in such a tone again.

Putting the tea tray on the small square table in the study, picking up the bowl of chicken soup, Shen Yan walked slowly in front of Hao Ling, put the chicken soup on the desk, looked at him softly, and said softly: "While the soup is still hot, drink it earlier." ”

Hao Lingxu was dissatisfied with Shen Yan's self-righteousness, did she think that if she sent the chicken soup over, he should drink it? And it's still such an intimate tone.

Hao Ling didn't even glance at the bowl of chicken soup, he looked at the account book in his hand, and said indifferently: "Let's put it first, I'll drink it later." It's cool at night, so go back early to rest, and Lingwei from the province will come out to look for you later. ”

Shen Yan stubbornly said, "This is the soup I stewed myself, you can drink it now, okay?" ”

Hao Ling frowned slightly, and reiterated again: "I want to read the account book now, I have something to do, the chicken soup is put away, it's okay, I know your intentions." ”

Shen Yan was still reluctant to move, and stood there with her hands twisted, like a wronged child.

Hao Ling snorted lightly, and finally put down the account book in his hand impatiently, and looked sideways at Shen Yan, but saw her head down, full of grievances and discomfort.

Hao Ling couldn't be hard-hearted after all, even if he didn't like Shen Yan, there was no reason to give Shen Yan such a faceless. Anyway, Shen Yan is also the eldest lady of the Shen Mansion, and she was raised like a pearl in the palm of her hand, but she has suffered so many grievances for him for so many years.

It's just a bowl of chicken soup, so what if you drink it?

In order to let Shen Yan go back earlier and disappear in front of his eyes earlier, Hao Ling had to pick up the chicken soup and drank the clear soup in a big gulp, but he didn't eat a piece of the chicken. Putting down the soup bowl, Hao Ling said again: "You can go back to rest now, right?" ”

Shen Yan raised her eyes to look at Hao Ling in surprise, there seemed to be a flash of divine light in her eyes, and she actually looked at Hao Ling in a trance.

"How does my chicken soup taste?" Shen Yan asked softly.

"It's not bad," Hao Ling praised the face, smacked his lips, and said, "But it's ......"

Shen Yan panicked in her heart, looked at Hao Ling nervously, and said secretly in her heart: Could it be that Hao Ling tasted it inappropriately?

Hao Ling glanced at Shen Yan lightly, and said softly: "I'm afraid it's time to stew for too long, although the soup is fragrant, it is a little turbid." ”

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing and patted her heart to appease the little heart that was scared just now.

"If you like, I'll pay attention to it next time I stew the soup."
