There was no joy on the day of the lake visit, at least not at all. Yi Xiangxiang's story made her sister Yi Huanhuan cry loudly for a while, and several people changed coaxes before stopping slightly.

Yi Xiangxiang saw that her sister was still squirming, and felt that if she cried again, she would really not be comforted. She saw that it was getting late, so she rejected Yi Ruofu's proposal to go to Xile Building for dinner, and took the group back to Yifu. After returning home, Yi Xiangxiang felt that at this time, it was still necessary for her mother to get her younger siblings out, so she really ran to the main courtyard to throw the joy and joy to her mother, and went back to Yongle House for dinner.

Yi Ruofu didn't eat into Xile Building, so she naturally followed Yi Xiangxiang to Yongle House to eat. Nowadays, Yifu eats everything in the kitchen and distributes it to each room, but Yi Xiangxiang is a picky eater and often sends people to the kitchen to add vegetables and open a small stove. And because all her ingredients are at her own expense, she never goes to the account of the public middle school, and it is difficult to say anything in the second room.

Of course, even if it is a public account, if the second room is really beaked, Yi Xiangxiang is not afraid to spread it out. Now the properties left by the second old lady are completely insufficient to control the expenses of the second room in the public, if you really calculate the accounts, the second room still takes a lot of advantage of the big house! The reason why Yi Xiangxiang paid out of her own pocket was that she felt that more things were better than less, and she couldn't afford to eat them anyway.

Zhao Ziqian personally took Xiong Wei and Tang He to stare at the Yi family sisters and brothers all afternoon, and found that the group did not behave strangely, but really swam the lake and returned home.

Zhao Ziqian returned to the room, and Xiong Wei was downstairs calling Xiao Er to deliver dinner. He is still thinking about the story of the mermaid told by Yi Xiangxiang now, of course Zhao Ziqian will not believe the ending of the prince and the mermaid who Yi Xiangxiang added later, because it was obviously changed by Yi Xiangxiang in order to coax his sister, because he felt that the ending of the mermaid was a little sad at this time.

I don't know why, Zhao Ziqian hopes that Yi Xiangxiang is really unusual at the moment, so that he can meet his inexplicable expectations; On the other hand, I am afraid that if she really has talent but can't use it for herself, then she will have to get rid of this stumbling block after all.

Xiong Wei pushed the door in, and after unloading the sword, he turned around and saw his Royal Highness staring at the chess pieces in a daze, so he said: "I think this Yi family should be fine, and the secret guard also said that Yi Xihu and Yi Luochuan are quite normal." And what kind of birthday banquet, many high-ranking officials came, but Yi Xihu only invited a small county official into his house to live, and now everyone says that he is too honest. However, these days, looking at the soup and the record of Yi Xihu as an official, this is indeed a good official."

He really didn't understand why His Highness was staring at him, and he was mainly staring at a girl's house, could it be that His Highness had taken a fancy to someone's family? That's not right! That girl looks average, and her family background is very low for the status of the prince, and Xiong Wei is now simply unclear about the lawsuit.

"I always felt that something was wrong." Zhao Ziqian and Xiong Wei expressed their intuitive feelings.

"But in the morning the spies came with the news that in two days the ship of the fourth prince would arrive at the dock. Master, we can't afford to drag it out any longer. Now that the four princes are here, they must have more manpower than us, and if he goes to Qishanzhai before us to find any clues, then it will be too late for us to regret it. Xiong Wei is rarely bitter.

And the reason why Xiong Wei changed the title from His Royal Highness to Master was also because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he forgave him and realized that Xile Building was not their territory, and he still had to be cautious when speaking.

Zhao Ziqian also knows that he is indeed more passive now, although he is very confident, but he is not an arrogant person, and now his fourth brother does have an advantage over him. And they haven't found anything in the Yi family in the past few days, because he also began to wonder if he made a mistake in judgment, that maid Qingxuan may really only learn the kung fu of self-preservation because he was humiliated five years ago.

Tang He has collected a lot of news about the Yi family in the past two days, it is not a secret that the Yi family was in distress at the foot of Qishan a few years ago, but few people know about Qingxuan's humiliation. This is still Tang He's small guy who spent a lot of money to buy Yifu, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to find out the news.

Although it cost a sum of money, this news also indirectly proves that Qing Xuan is very likely to practice martial arts because of that blow, because Zhao Ziqian has actually loosened his suspicion of the Yi family a long time ago, and now he is only maintained by a trace of intuition.

He felt that something always flashed by at a critical moment.

"Tomorrow we will stare at it for another day, and we will go to Qishan at night." Zhao Ziqian rarely hesitated, because the Yi family had spent so much time, which he really didn't expect, so he finally made a decision, so he said to Xiong Wei like this.

Xiong Wei heard this and expressed some disapproval: "Wouldn't it be too risky to go up the mountain at night, I heard that there are a lot of ambushes on that mountain, although the Lord Yixi Lake of Tongzhou sent people to demolish a lot, but it is difficult to ensure that there is no leakage." ”

Zhao Ziqian explained the reason: "There are already many people who have gone up during the day, and since they haven't found anything abnormal, it is very likely that some things will be different at night." ”

The destruction of Qishanzhai has attracted the attention of many people, whether it is the heroes of the rivers and lakes or the official eunuchs who came to Tongzhou to celebrate their birthdays, they all took this opportunity to go to Qishan to investigate, and many people still went up to see the gold powder skull in Huanxi Pavilion.

The master thinks differently from us. Hearing Zhao Ziqian's words, Xiong Wei thought so.

......

On the morning of the second day of the lake, Yi Xiangxiang rarely got up early and called Shumei to change her clothes and comb her hair, she hadn't gone to Ci'an Hall for several days to ask for peace, and she had to go to see her grandfather and grandmother today.

"What do you want to comb today?" Shumi asked, holding a sandalwood comb.

There is no clear age distinction between women's combing and men's crowns, and everyone is almost always how good-looking they come, of course, young girls generally don't comb solemn buns, after all, it looks too dignified, and loses its liveliness and brightness.

Yi Xiangxiang was a beautiful embryo in her previous life, but after she was born in the Li Dynasty, she was in the family of the eunuchs, but she didn't care, after all, if the face was really beautiful, it was easy to cause trouble.

She remembered that she didn't have many friends in her previous life, and her college roommate was considered to have a good relationship, but because she was good-looking, she didn't like to play with her. Speaking of Fa Xiaoluoluo, she is her best friend, but even Luoluo, a sentence often said: "If your face was in ancient times, it must have been a fox spirit of a disaster country, eh, my only wish in this life is to be called a fox spirit!" Yi Xiangxiang sighed, thinking in her heart that she didn't know what was going on with Luoluo now.

"Whatever, it's okay to hold it with a green hosta, it saves me a headache, anyway, I don't need to see any guests today, just be casual." Yi Xiangxiang suddenly felt a little sleepy and yawned.

Qing Xuan, who took the water from the maid's hand at the door, heard this and asked, "Didn't Miss say that she was going to listen to Hailou tonight?" ”

"That's all at night, who will go to see what your bun is like at night, and everyone knows me, so there's no need to toss it deliberately."

Yi Xiangxiang yawned again as she spoke, and Qing Xuan quickly twisted the handkerchief to clean her face first, thinking that she could be sober after washing her face, and she didn't wait to fall asleep again. Qing Xuan knew that if this young lady didn't take the initiative to get up, she wouldn't be able to dig it.

Qing Xuan felt that it was easier for Miss to get her up when she was a child, and Le Qi or she woke up after picking up Miss and rubbing it herself. Now it's a half-grown girl, and today's young lady is stronger than before, and they don't dare to dig her up in normal times.

Yi Xiangxiang, who had washed her face, was really much sober, changed her clothes and tied her hair, and prepared to go to Ci'an Hall.

"Shumei, you follow me, you take the little maids to Xile Building to get some exquisite porridge and snacks and send them to Ci'an Hall, today I want to have breakfast in Ci'an Hall." Yi Xiangxiang instructed before going out.

The Joy House is open in the morning because it has guests, and breakfast will be prepared for guests. The meals in Xile Building are mostly some exquisite pastries and porridge products, and Yi Xiangxiang even moved some modern Cantonese morning tea snacks to the Li Dynasty one by one.

"Then I'll go with Miss!" Qing Xuan was arranging flowers at this time, and he was about to put down the flower branches.

Yi Xiangxiang usually only takes Qingxuan when she goes out of the house, and at home she is always allowed to rest and bring her books and paintings. Today, Yi Xiangxiang asked the painter to take someone to get breakfast, Qingxuan was worried that his young lady only brought Shumei, and he was afraid that there would be no one to call him at that time, so he said so.

Yi Xiangxiang shook her head and said, "No, you wait for Le Qi to arrive, go and clean up my study, and let Mo Wen come over in the evening, let's discuss the new plan first, and then go to Huanxi Pavilion to announce it." ”

After all, Mo Wen will know more about the market, Yi Xiangxiang's new plan still wants to communicate with him first, and because the things to talk about are more important, Yi Xiangxiang arranged to speak in the study.

The study room of Yongle Ju is an important place for Yi Xiangxiang, and it is also the most closely watched place in Yi Mansion, because there are not only the account books and some personnel lists of Wuda and Huanxi Pavilion, but also the identity seal of Wuda and the like, Yi Xiangxiang arranged three classes of people to guard it all day, even in the Yi family, only Yi Xiangxiang and the personal maid Leqi, Qingxuan, Shumei, and Huali can enter. But Yi Xiangxiang and her maids revolve around themselves every day, so that no one really has time to go to the study to clean often.

Qing Xuan worked hard to understand the new noun that came out of Yi Xiangxiang's mouth, and guessed that the new plan should be the meaning of the new direction of Huanxi Pavilion, right? Sometimes Miss's way of thinking and speaking is really unheard of, Qing Xuan thinks.

Yi Xiangxiang went to Ci'an Hall with Shumei, and the painting at the other end also took the little maids out to Xile Building.

There are two joy buildings in Tongzhou, one is on the edge of the dock and the other is on the main street of Tongzhou. From the back door of the Yifu house through a few alleys, it is the main street of Tongzhou.

Although it is morning, the work and rest time of the ancients are relatively regular, after all, not everyone has the habit of sleeping lazily like Yi Xiangxiang, and at this time, the lobby of the Xile Building is also sitting in groups of three or five Many guests are eating, most of them are some guests in the building.

Among these people who have breakfast, there are naturally Zhao Ziqian, Xiong Wei and others, because the lobby is not noisy in the morning, so they are now sitting by the lobby window and waiting for breakfast.

After the painter came out of the alley with the maid, she saw Xiao Er standing at the door of the Joy Building, so she walked over and asked Xiao Er what breakfast and pastries he had today. The second child's name is Fugui, and when he saw that the person who came was Miss's personal maid, he was naturally extremely happy and enthusiastic.

"The painting girl is here, in today's meal, there are steamed pork belly, beef brisket, small ribs, etc., as well as bean paste crisp, crystal cake, crab roe buns...... "Rich and noble are coming together."

"Looks like there's a lot of stuff today?" With a smile, the painter lifted the hem of his skirt and crossed the threshold and walked into the Joy Building.

Fugui also came in, only to see him nod and say, "Yes, there have been many guests recently, and all the rooms upstairs have been full!" ”

Huali also knew that the Gao family had covered all the vacant rooms, so she carried the food drawer and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I will report to Miss when I go back and ask her to give you a lot of rewards." ”

Xile Building is still hanging in the name of the Lin family to the outside world, and the painting theory is also very natural.

"What Miss Painter said, these are what we should do, the rewards given by the owner on weekdays are enough, where can we ask for the reward of the young lady. By the way, did you come today to get breakfast? Because of the question just now and the food drawer in her hand, Yi Fugui also guessed what the painting was doing.

"Yes, the young lady said that she wanted to use the food in the building today, so let me pick up some and send them to Ci'an Hall. You're busy, I'll go to the back kitchen and see what's in store. Eri said.

"Gotcha! Picture girl, go this way! Fugui said and gave the painting a guide.

Hua Li took the little maids around the side door of the counter to the back kitchen, but Fugui saw Chef Chen, the signature chef of Xile Building, coming in with breakfast from the passage where the dishes were served.

"Hey, Chef Chen, why are you here?" Fugui walked over and asked.

Chef Chen was a chubby middle-aged man, and I saw him say happily: "I'm not afraid that you won't be busy, I won't help run errands!" ”

Fugui smiled: "Eh, thank you!" But go back to the kitchen, for Miss Painter is here, and she says that she has asked her to fetch breakfast! Miss loves to eat the golden silk fried dumplings you made, hurry up and make them for Miss! ”

"Eh! The painting girl is here? Then I've got to go! Fortunately, the dumplings are wrapped, and there are still some fried in the morning after three pots, but it may be cold when I take it back, so I quickly fried it again for Miss. Chef Chen said that he didn't care about serving the food, stuffed the tray with breakfast to Fugui, and hurried to the back kitchen.

The juniors of Xile Lou didn't know that their master was actually Yi Xiangxiang, but Chef Chen knew the truth. Speaking of which, this Chef Chen was originally the cook of a large family in Tongzhou, and at that time he was the housekeeper of the lady in the back house, and Chef Chen was naturally the person on the other side of the lady on the surface. As a result, the lady's aunt fought the method, and the pregnant aunt herself drugged the dishes made by Chef Chen, intending to frame the lady. Then he came and went, and he, the cook, became a victim and was sent to the yamen on the charge of assassinating the master's family. Fortunately, Yi Xiangxiang, the eighth lady of the Yi family, happened to be in the yamen at that time, Yi Xiangxiang took someone to check the food, and it took a lot of effort to prove that the medicine was given by the concubine herself, which saved Chef Chen. After that, Yi Xiangxiang asked Mrs. Yi to come forward and go to the lady of the main family to buy his identity deed, and then he entered the Xile Building. In the law of the Li Dynasty, it is stated that the subordinates who assassinate the master will be executed, and Yi Xiangxiang saved Chef Chen's life, so he is naturally loyal to Yi Xiangxiang and is also very concerned about what Yi Xiangxiang wants to eat.

In fact, saving Chef Chen is also a coincidence for Yi Xiangxiang, Yi Xiangxiang is now asking the evil spirits to come to the Yi family every month to ask for the pulse, and that day she happened to take the evil spirits to the yamen to check Yi Xihu's body, and only then did she run into Chef Chen's business, so she did a righteous act.

"Hey, tell me which table this is!" Fugui watched Chef Chen run away like this, very speechless.

Chef Chen had already opened the door curtain, and he said without looking back: "Table No. 7!" ”

Zhao Ziqian, who was sitting by the window, looked down at his desk number, and the word "Qi" was written on it.

Sure enough, after a while, Fugui's voice sounded behind him: "Sorry officer, I've kept you waiting!" This is pumpkin crisp, this is xiao long bao, this is shrimp crystal dumplings, this is ......"

Fugui wore an anti-saliva transparent mask copied from modern times by Yi Xiangxiang on his face, and while introducing the dishes to Zhao Ziqian's table, he put the things on the Huanghuali wooden table one by one, but before he finished the introduction, he was interrupted by the cold and handsome son next to him.

"Bring us a golden silk fried dumpling...... "Zhao Ziqian said, obviously he had just heard the conversation between Fugui and Chef Chen.

Zhao Ziqian is undoubtedly good-looking, his three-dimensional facial features are as handsome as a knife, his angular lines and dark and deep eyes are also very prominent, and he unconsciously exudes nobility all over his body...... Although Fugui is only a shopkeeper, he has also seen some dignitaries and dignitaries entering and leaving the Joy Building, so he can naturally see that the man in front of him is not ordinary.

However, the training standards of the second child of Xile Lou are strict, and Fugui has passed the test, so I only listen to his humble and arrogant reply: "Okay, guest officer, you really know how to order, this golden silk fried dumpling is a must in our Xile Building, and our young lady loves to eat this." There was pride in the words.

Xiong Wei didn't expect Zhao Ziqian to add golden silk fried dumplings to his words, he knew that his Royal Highness had never been greedy for appetite, but he saw that his Royal Highness didn't plan to continue the conversation with Xiao Er, so he asked, "Oh? Your young lady? I don't know which lady from Yifu is? Why do you chefs pay so much attention to it? ”

Tang He looked at Xiong Wei and asked knowingly, and was speechless for a while, the painting that just went in was the personal maid of the eighth lady Yi Xiangxiang, so which other young lady could this be!

"Of course it's our Eighth Miss! Our eighth miss is a descendant of the owner, she is very friendly, and Chef Chen and we respect Miss very much......" Fugui said proudly again, but he quickly realized that he couldn't talk about his own young lady with a group of boys, even if the cold-faced man was very handsome, but they were all foreign men after all, so as to change the topic and say: "Wait a minute, guest officer, I will ask the kitchen to serve you golden silk fried dumplings." ”

"I'm going to fry it too!" Zhao Ziqian opened his mouth again.

Xiong Wei: "......"

Tang He: "......"

Fugui: "......"

It's not a good life

Non-red-faced, not thin-hearted, cool-hearted
