Chapter 73: We should help each other

"Sister Yue'er, I heard that thanks to you, Chi Yuan's temporary predicament was relieved and he was able to become a new person, and this kindness will never be forgotten by our family." Xiuxiu grinned and said, "With this honorable chief, you can sit reasonably." ”

Chi Yue said with a smile: "Everywhere, they are all a family, and they should help each other." ”

Seeing that Chi Yue was so down-to-earth and generous, loving relatives and friends, the elders at the table praised her one after another.

"Our Chi family can have a capable girl like you, which is also the prosperity of my clan, and I, the patriarch, also have a bright face!" The patriarch stroked his white beard and looked at Chi Yue happily.

"Where, I just make some brown sugar and take it out to peddle and make a little money, which is not a big skill." Chi Yue said humbly.

Grandpa Chi looked at her in a daze, his eyes were full of love, and he couldn't help but say, "Yue'er, it's been a long time since I've had a meal with your family." Listen to your aunt, today's chef is a famous chef in the town, and the food he makes is delicious! Taste it, taste it. ”

Chi Yuan hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you don't know yet, right?" This cook was invited by Chi Yue, and that is the boss of the natural residence! He used to be the imperial chef in the palace, so he was called a famous one! The county master married the Liu family, I'm afraid I don't want to go to this big Buddha. Who told my sister Yue'er to be familiar with others, and she easily invited someone to come in a word, which made our family immediately flourish and add luster to our faces! ”

Hearing this, everyone admired Chi Yue even more.

"Yue'er is getting more and more capable." Grandpa Chi looked at Chi Yue, only to feel that he liked it more and more, and smiled hehe.

Grandma Chi on the side glared at him fiercely, but she didn't dare to show her dissatisfaction with Chi Yue, who was like a starry moon in front of everyone, so she had to bury her head in anger and eat without saying a word.

The meal seemed to have a grudge against her, and she was eaten and stuffed indiscriminately, and she was tortured with a deep anger.

Here, Chi Yue was persuaded by Chi Yuan and Liu Xiumei to drink, and had to drink seven or eight glasses, so she refused to drink anymore.

In her previous life, she knew how much she drank, and ten glasses would be drunk. At that time, if she is embarrassed in front of everyone, her reputation will not be blackened from now on.

Seeing that Chi Yue's face was drunk, he refused to drink anymore, and Chi Yuan simply stopped persuading him to drink.

While eating the dishes, Chi Yuan smiled and sighed: "I think I should have learned the craft of boiling sugar from Sister Yue'er at the beginning, blame me for not being willing to endure hardships at that time, I can miss the opportunity to master this ability to make a fortune, it is really hateful, and I regret it!" ”

In a drowsy and drunk, Chi Yue took advantage of the wine and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, don't regret it, it's not too late to learn at this time." If you really want to learn, I'll put you in our sugar room tomorrow, and it's very easy. ”

Hearing Chi Yue's words, Chi Yuan's face was overjoyed, "Chi Yue, are you serious?" ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" Chi Yue patted the table and swore solemnly, "No, no, I am a woman, it should be a woman, and it is difficult for a horse to chase ......"

In the midst of many laughter, Chi Yuan's cold eyes were dim and deep at a glance.

Chi Yue was supported by Zhou and Chi Xin left and right to go back to her home, and on the way back, she faintly heard someone profoundly teaching the children and grandchildren beside her, "See? This is the helplessness of genius! People worship Chi Yue a lot, so it is inevitable that someone at the banquet will persuade her to drink in every possible way, if you don't drink, you won't give face to others, no, you see that you are drunk......"

Zhou shook his head helplessly, "Yue'er, you know that you don't drink well, so why should you do it?" You! ”

"I saw that Brother Yuan kept persuading her to drink, so she had to drink." Chi Xin spoke for her sister, "If I were next to her, I wouldn't have asked someone to persuade her to drink like this." ”

"Brother Yuan is really." Zhou said this, and then shut up.

A trace of doubt flashed in Chi Yue's mind, but she couldn't sort out her thoughts in the chaos, so she ignored it.

After going back, Zhou made a sobering soup for Chi Yue and fed her to drink.

Chi Yue died of sleep not long after.

In his sleep, Gu Han rode a white horse and was late.

It's just that when he came to her, he only glanced at her faintly, and then swept over without saying a word.

Chi Yue looked back and saw him walk to the other woman's side.

The woman had bright eyes and was extremely beautiful, and she was far from her when compared with her.

Seeing that Gu Han and the woman immediately hugged each other, gradually drifting away, leaving her alone in the same place, her heart was like a knife......

"Don't go!"

Chi Yue woke up and realized that her heart was still aching, and she couldn't help covering her chest, sad.

Why does her heart hurt?

Could it be because of Gu Han?

But she shook her head and said mockingly: "Chi Yue, Chi Yue, haven't you woken up yet?" Gu Han is a dignified and honorable prince today, with a high and powerful position, how can he remember you as a country girl? The most suitable for him is undoubtedly Prime Minister Han's daughter......"

Then, she held her head high again, "Since you are a confidant, I should bless you to marry a good match, how can you be jealous of him?" From now on, I don't think about you anymore, just be myself. ”

But who knows, the more she doesn't want to think about it, the more Gu Han's figure appears in her mind. Until it was time to eat, she stood in place in a daze, holding the dishes and chopsticks in her hands, as if she was stunned.

"Yue'er, are you alright?" Zhou asked worriedly, "Is it that the wine hasn't woken up yet, do you want to drink some more sobering soup?" ”

Chi Yue woke up and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "No, no, my wine has already woken up, but my mind is still a little dizzy...... I don't think this wine can be drunk anyway. ”

"That is, next time someone pours you wine again, you just say that your mother is not happy, and you don't have to make you so uncomfortable!" Zhou muttered hesitantly.

Chi Yue responded with a smile, and when the meal was served, she unconsciously continued to think about Gu Han's affairs.

She shook her head violently, secretly annoyed.

Chi Yue, Ah Chi Yue, what's wrong with you? Could it be that when he saw the love between Chi Yuan and Xiuxiu, he also gave birth to a child?

It's just that Gu Han is your best friend, where can there be a relationship between men and women? You don't have to be sentimental......

Accompanied Chi Xin and others to the county seat, and when they entered the workshop, Chi Yuan greeted them and greeted them.

"Brother Yuan, you just married your new daughter-in-law yesterday, why did you come to work today?" Chi Yue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't I already give you three days off?" If you don't make good use of it, won't you break your sister-in-law's heart? ”

Chi Yuan smiled and said, "It was your sister-in-law who urged me to come." I said I wanted to stay at home with her, but she wouldn't let me. ”

"Oh?" Chi Yue only found it interesting, "Doesn't my sister-in-law want to stay with you for a while, and I'm not happy to ask you to rest for a few days?" ”

Chi Yuan sighed heavily, and turned to say solemnly: "Yesterday, I had a long conversation with your sister-in-law all night, and I only said that I was confused in the past, and I didn't learn any skills, so I ended up so depressed today. Your sister-in-law remembered that you had promised me to come and learn the art of boiling sugar, so she urged me in every possible way to come today and learn this rare skill. If the days go by, Yue'er, you regret it, then won't I lose another good opportunity? That's why I threw everything away and came non-stop. Yue'er, you haven't regretted it, have you? ”

Ji Yue looked embarrassed.

To be honest, since she woke up and remembered the incident, she really regretted it.

For Chi Yuan, she still can't trust him from the bottom of her heart, so she doesn't dare to reveal this secret link to him.

However, under Chi Yuan's fiery gaze, Chi Yue had no reason to pour him a basin of cold water and had to keep his promise.

"Okay, you come with me."

Chi Yue led Chi Yuan upstairs.

Chi Xin didn't expect that Chi Yue would agree to teach Chi Yuan the art of boiling sugar. However, thinking that this workshop was Chi Yue's master, Chi Yuan had reformed himself, and it was their own family, so they would definitely not have any complications, so they let them go upstairs.

Ji Yuan followed closely behind Ji Yue and came to her office study.

Chi Yue took out a confidential document and handed it to Chi Yuan, "Well, as long as you sign this, you can go to the sugar boiling room to learn the art of boiling sugar." ”

Chi Yuan read the cumbersome regulations on the confidentiality book and frowned involuntarily.

"Chi Yue, your conditions are too harsh, right? If the art of boiling sugar is leaked, you will be fined five hundred taels of silver! ”

Chi Yue raised her eyebrows lightly, "If you treat me sincerely, you will refuse to disclose this secret recipe no matter what, how can you receive this punishment?" ”

"It's just that the two of me are close relatives, can't you even trust me, what kind of secret letter do you have to sign?" Chi Yuan was dissatisfied.

"This is the rule in the workshop, and it must be fulfilled regardless of relatives or relatives." Chi Yue's iron face was ruthless, and she said lightly, "My sister also signed her name on this and drew a charge." ”

Chi Yuan wanted to say something again, but he couldn't hold back in the end. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay." Since I promise to share weal and sorrow with you, and I am of one mind, where am I afraid of any harsh conditions? ”

As he spoke, he made a statement, signed the secrecy book, and then breathed a deep sigh of relief.

But the tightly locked eyebrows still can't be stretched.

Chi Yue locked the secret book before taking Chi Yuan to the sugar room on the second floor.

Although most of the smoke inside drifted out through the chimney, four or five boilers could be boiled at the same time, which still inevitably caused a miasma of smoke in the room.

Choked on the smoke and coughing twice, Chi Yuan had an impulse to rush out and not do this hateful job.

He hated going into the kitchen the most when he was a child, not to mention helping his mother cook on the fire, and he hadn't touched the spoon and shovel for many years!

But what did he think, so he forced himself to stay.

"Aunt Deng, you can take Chi Yuan." Chi Yue arranged.

Aunt Deng is the most patient elder here, and if she wants to come to Chi Yuan to follow her, she will definitely be able to make rapid progress.

Aunt Deng hurriedly agreed, and greeted Chi Yuan with a smile, "Chi Yuan is getting older and more calm, when I saw you when I was a child, you were a hairy boy who was hot for three minutes to do everything and couldn't hold his breath. ”

Chi Yuan smiled, chatted casually, then covered his mouth and nose, and couldn't wait to learn to boil sugar.
