The pastry is made into a plum blossom shape, which is very suitable for the winter scene, although it is not a big piece, but it is very delicate, and it is specific to a petal type on it, which is particularly beautiful, and the fragrance comes to the nose, and it also has a bit of the fragrance of plum rui.

"This is the slave maid who brought it back, I was afraid of the cold, so I deliberately sealed it in the food basket, it will still be hot, Miss, you can taste it, but it feels delicious!" Qingyue said with a grin, holding up a piece with a clean handkerchief and handing it to Qin Wanru.

"Do you make a lot of this pastry?" Qin Wanru took it, turned her fingers, and looked carefully at the pastry in front of her, she had only seen such a delicate pastry in the palace before, but it was not something that ordinary people could eat.

"Not much, originally I made four copies, each of which was only three yuan, and when the slave maid went, I saw that the mother-in-law was dressing, saying that it was one for the old lady, one for the eldest lady, one for the young lady, and one for the general."

Shui Ruolan is avoided here, Shui Ruolan is now quietly pregnant, and the pastries used for eating are basically made in her own small kitchen, and everyone in the big kitchen knows that they dare not send food to Shui Ruolan casually.

"It's a thoughtful one, what did you say at the time?" Qin Wanru asked again.

"I didn't say anything, just put it away, while telling the people around me, Mrs. Shui, she didn't dare to send it, just these few copies for other masters to taste, if it is good, she will do it next time, if it is not good, then change to other styles, saying that her ancestor opened a pastry shop outside, and it is good."

Qingyue thought about it for a while, and felt that this mother-in-law was a very clever person, although she didn't ask why she didn't send it to Mrs. Shui, she talked to herself, and she had already explained it clearly.

"Then why didn't she continue to open a pastry shop?" Qin Wanru asked curiously, leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but take a bite, the pastry was not only beautiful, but also very sweet, which was very likable.

"The slave also asked why, and the mother-in-law said that something happened to her family and she had to come out to work, and the store was also closed!" Qingyue replied.

Qin Wanru's heart moved, "Then are the people in her family still opening a store?" ”

"I won't open it, because I can't open it!" Qingyue shook her head, "The slave maid also went to check later, it was indeed originally opened a store, and it was opened well, but it was suddenly closed, and I don't know what the reason is!" ”

"When was it closed?"

"It's been a while, not recently." Qingyue knew what Qin Wanru was suspicious of, and said.

That is to say, people have already entered the house.

Qin Wanru nodded, stopped talking, and his eyes fell on the pastry in his hand again, the pastry was really fragrant, and it tasted very delicious, the unfinished pastry in his hand flipped over, his eyes fell on an inconspicuous corner, and a sharp dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Putting the pastry in her hand on the plate, she turned the other two over as well, and three equally small dark lines appeared in her eyes.

"What is this?" Qin Wanru stretched out his hand and pointed to a dark pattern of the pastry.

"This ...... It should be the mark on the mold in the mother-in-law's hand, right? Qingyue originally thought it was a petal, and she didn't care, but she would take a closer look, but it was like a small butterfly, very delicate and small, falling in the dark lines of the pastry pattern, almost invisible.

"Is it the mold that the mother-in-law brought herself?" Qin Wanru's face changed slightly.

"This ...... It shouldn't be, there was nothing when the mother-in-law came, it was impossible to bring her own mold in, it should be from the house! Qingyue didn't think so.

Hearing them say this, Yujie also came over, looked at the butterfly pattern on it carefully, and said that it was a small butterfly, which at first glance looked like a faint butterfly pattern.

"Such a delicate mold!" Yujie couldn't help but admire, "When the slave maid was in the meditation nunnery in the past, there were some big families in the south of the Yangtze River who came to make some pastries and distribute them, but it was the first time for the slave to see such exquisite pastries. ”

There are many rich families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the meditation nunnery is very famous in the Jiangzhou area, plus the owner of the meditation nunnery will also heal the sick, the incense in the past is extremely prosperous, Yujie has seen no kind of pastry when she is in the meditation nunnery, but she has never seen this kind of cake.

Qin Wanru was silent for a moment, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it twice in his hand, "Those pastries have been sent out separately?" ”

"Not really, when the slave maid took it and was about to leave, the little maid on the general's side came running, and when she saw these very beautiful pastries, she asked for an extra one, saying that the general had a guest there, and the mother-in-law later gave the eldest lady's share to the general." Qingyue replied.

There are only three pieces of pastry, and each piece is not big, but it is indeed a little smaller.

If there are guests coming, the two pots will look about the same.

"Someone's from my father's place, who?"

"It was said that it was from the Xingguo Mansion, and now it is in the mansion." Qing Yueyu reported.

Qin Wanru was silent for a moment, the Xingguo Mansion actually came so quickly.

"By the way, it seems to be talking about the eldest lady...... "Qingyue suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly added.

"Is Miss Second here?" Qin Wanru was about to ask carefully, when a mother-in-law's voice suddenly came from outside the house, interrupting Qingyue's words, Qingyue looked at Qin Wanru, and when she saw Qin Wanru nodded, she turned around and lifted the curtain and went out.

"What's the matter?"

"The general asks the second lady to come over." The mother-in-law said with a grin.

"Please come over to our young lady, what's the matter?" Qingyue was stunned and said, "Aren't there outsiders here now?" Gone? ”

"It's okay for outsiders, it's the housekeeper next to Mrs. Xingguo Mansion, and she is here to find the eldest lady, but this matter has something to do with both the eldest lady and the second miss, this will invite the eldest lady over, and I also want to invite the second lady over to ask what happened yesterday!"

The mother-in-law replied with a smile.

Someone was specially sent to ask about this, but the people around Mrs. Tai of the Xingguo Mansion were not good.

However, this is also good, the more anxious they are, the easier it is to disturb a pool of spring water......

Pulled the corner of her skirt and stood up, Yujie hurriedly lifted the curtain for her, and Qin Wanru walked out slowly: "The eldest sister has passed by?" ”

"Yes, this meeting has already passed, and I am talking to that Mama Yu." The mother-in-law replied with a smile, the eldest lady was locked up yesterday, and today the general will release her, depending on the situation, the eldest lady may not need to be locked up again.

Qin Wanru nodded, stopped talking, and walked out with her mother-in-law.

When I arrived at the gate of Qin Huaiyong's study, I saw two maids from the Xingguo Mansion standing under the porch, standing with Qin Huaiyong's little servant.

"Second Miss, you are here, the minion has only seen you several times, and I haven't seen you yet, the general is in a hurry!" As soon as the little servant saw Qin Wanru, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and while reaching out very cleverly, the mother-in-law who led the way stepped back.

Qin Wanru followed the little maid into the house, and when she entered the house, she found that the lively room she had originally said was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Qin Wanru.

Qin Yuru's face was proud, she pursed her lips, raised her head high, and looked at her mockingly, with a bit of hatred flashing in her eyes.

How could she be unexpected, thinking that she almost died of anger yesterday and had to be locked up by her father, and today her father deliberately asked people to bring her over, which means that she doesn't need to be supervised, and it is Mama Yu from the Xingguo Mansion who came, she didn't believe that Qin Wanru dared to say anything.

Mother is right, from now on, she and Qin Wanru are the difference between cloud and mud, she is high, Qin Wanru will be stepped on by herself forever.

What Mama Zhou secretly came out to say to her last night was still in her ears, she was still skeptical, but she didn't expect to respond immediately today.

The lady of the Xingguo Mansion only made a move, and her father had to release herself, and when she lived in the Xingguo Mansion by herself, she would definitely let Mrs. Tai put pressure on her father to let him release his mother and leave Shui Ruolan off, as for Qin Wanru, it was almost time to marry a beggar on the side of the road, anyway, she was originally picked up, and marrying a beggar can be said to be the place to marry.

If she didn't want to, she was drugged and sent directly to the Qinglou, making her filthy for the rest of her life......

Qin Huaiyong's face sank like water, and he didn't seem to have any expression, but after a closer look, he still fluctuated a little when he saw Qin Wanru.

The strongest reaction was actually Mama Yu, who was not expected by anyone, the moment she saw Qin Wanru, the cup that she was holding in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, smashed it, and looked at Qin Wanru who had just stepped in in shock.

Seeing Mama Yu's shocked face, Qin Wanru was extremely calm, when she saw this Mama Yu in the Xingguo Mansion, she had already imagined today's scene.

"Father!" She stepped forward to give Qin Huaiyong a salute, and then bowed to Qin Yuru sideways.

"Sit down first!" Qin Huaiyong waved his hand and motioned for her to sit down next to Qin Yuru, and then looked at Mama Yu, who had not recovered from her surprise at this time, and said, "Mama Yu, but there is something wrong?" ”

"It must be the second sister who scared Mama Yu, I heard that Mama Yu worshiped the Buddha with Mrs. Tai, she is very Buddha-like, and everyone likes to see those with good temperament." Qin Yuru covered the handkerchief and said with a coquettish smile.

The meaning of this is sarcasm, Qin Wanru is not a good person at first glance.

"Yuru, shut up!" Qin Huaiyong's face sank, and he shouted, "That's your sister!" ”

"Is it my sister? Of course it's my sister, if it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have been jealous yesterday and dropped my bracelet, father, you judge ......"

Qin Yuru said with a smile, her eyes did not hide her mockery, if it was before, of course she would not dare to stand up to Qin Huaiyong, but now it is different, she now has the support of the lady of the Xingguo Mansion, and she is not so afraid when she sees her father!

"Yuru, okay, isn't your jade bracelet good!" Qin Huaiyong's face sank more and more.

These words reminded Qin Yuru, she shook a pair of blood-red bracelets on her hands, immediately changed the topic, and stammered, "It was the pair that my mother gave me that was broken before, and this pair naturally can't be broken, Mrs. Tai specially rewarded me, if it wasn't for Mama Yu coming over today, I wouldn't have worn it!" ”

When Mama Yu came over, Qin Yuru deliberately put on the pair of blood jade bracelets sent by the eldest princess of Ruian, Qin Huaiyong had the same idea as her, and he didn't want the people of the Xingguo Mansion to know that the pair of blood jade bracelets were broken, and when he saw her wearing the blood jade bracelets, he said that the pair that was broken on the street before was the pair that Di Shi gave to Qin Yuru before.

"You...... Can you know how to heal? This time, Mama Yu ignored her, and looked at Qin Wan in surprise and stood up excitedly!
