I'm really afraid of something, Wang Shishi took two steps closer suspiciously, sniffed it twice with a hand fan, and then frowned and said: "What do you put in this firewood room, it smells fishy, I tell you, if I buy the house at that time, open it and see what dirty things are inside, I want to return it." ”

Liu Wuyan held back his anger and smiled very gracefully: "There is nothing, just some broken leather goods and firewood, and we haven't had time to deal with it yet, don't worry, we will definitely dispose of it before we move out." As he spoke, the chai door slammed and shook violently, apparently someone inside was desperately banging against the door frame. The firewood room was already old, but in the end, it was knocked out of the upper half of the fan with a bang, and it snapped open.

Liu Wuyan's face changed suddenly, but Wang Shishi covered her face with a very frightened look, "You said it well before, what's going on now?" Why is there still someone locked up in the firewood room, and he is still a little scholar with clear eyebrows? Oh my God, I hate broken sleeves the most, don't buy it, don't buy it, take this person with me. ”

Liu Wuyan was in a hurry, stopped in front of Wang Shishi and said: "You were picky before, I put up with it, but now that the ridicule is over, I want to leave more than once, I actually want to take away this slut's cousin, I think you are in a gang!" Let me tell you, it was not so easy to get out when you entered my house today. It doesn't matter if it's her relative or not, if you don't leave a thousand taels, I want you to come in sideways and go out vertically. ”

Wang Shishi was happy, not angry but laughing, the elegant movement pulled up the sleeves, the small round fan was thrown back, and the servant followed, and then took a step forward, and it was a punch that hit the bridge of Liu Wuyan's nose in the middle, and immediately hit two lines of blood. She withdrew her hand, wiped it with an embroidered handkerchief with great disgust, and said with a cold face: "I see who went in horizontally and came out vertically." Someone like you, no matter how much you beat, it will dirty my hands. With a character like yours, you still want a thousand taels, but I think it's ten taels upside down, and no one wants to. Today I am going to take this scholar away, and we will go to the government to argue about it! ”

Hua Manxi stood quietly in the back, and the light cloud stood vigilantly behind her, and after a small fight, the scene quickly returned to calm. Liu Wuyan's hair crown was scattered, his face was gray, and he clutched his stomach and screamed. Even so, Wang Shishi did not relent, and pulled his ears all the way to the government. The evidence is conclusive, and there are many traces of whipping on the scholar's body, Hua Manxi's identity is noble, can the people of Jingzhao Mansion see it? The case was immediately sorted out.

Afterwards, Hua Manxi sat in the rickety carriage and asked Wang Shishi softly: "You are so kind today, but what is the way, tell me, I promise not to tell others." Wang Shishi smiled slyly, proudly raised her eyebrows and said: "What can I do, when I was young, I also had a long-cherished wish to be chivalrous and righteous, okay, okay, I'll tell you alone." I bought a few pawnshops the other day. When I looked at the accounts yesterday, the shopkeeper presented a red jade bracelet. ”

"He used to work as a jade worker, and he was a man with vision, and said that the young man was dead, and he looked in a hurry, and he only needed ten taels of silver and left. I took it home and looked at it, at first I just felt a little sorry, but then I thought about it but felt inexplicably familiar, so I let my cousin look at it, he has a good memory, and knows that this is something that a distant aunt used to wear, and we are not very close, but when I was young, I saw it once or twice. ”

Wang Shishi stuck out her tongue and said: "Since there is a relationship, although it can only be beaten with eight poles, but it can be sold for ten taels, this is a lack of virtue, I can't do that kind of thing, so I inquired about the news of this young man, and was about to take a look, and I met you in Tianxian Building." I look at it as a kind of fate, this scholar looks refreshed, it's the one that my cousin appreciates, and when the time comes, throw it to him, what kind of scholar to be, or come to me to be an accountant, I can see it. ”

As soon as she said this, Wang Shishi's head was big, touched Hua Manxi's hand and sighed: "Manxi, don't you know, in these large and small shops, there is an old shopkeeper who is particularly annoying, I told him something yesterday, and I will forget it today, and I mentioned it several times to let his son come to the top class, and he was reluctant to let his son suffer." Yesterday I fell asleep looking at something and almost burned down the shop, and after this year, I have to replace him. ”

Hua Manxi nodded to her with a smile, patted her back and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, they all say that girls' families are angry when they are young, and they are prone to wrinkles when they are old." I'm going to gather in the palace tomorrow, and I won't see you for more than ten days. What about Lord Chen, does he want to go autumn hunting? ”

Wang Shishi subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes, and then pouted: "He can't carry it on his shoulders and can't lift it, can't someone hunt him if he goes." I said earlier, a manly man, you have to learn some boxing and kicking, I heard that this time, the girl of the Qin family and Shen Shao also have a share. Hua Manxi was a little amused, flicked her smooth forehead lightly, and asked, "Then do you think it's a pity that you can't go with Shen Shao, or do you think that Master Chen can't go with Miss Qin, it's a pity?" ”

This question was tricky, Wang Shishi's eyes widened, and she didn't dare to answer positively, and finally muttered: "If you don't go, you won't go, a large group of stinky men, fight and kill, this girl is not rare, I didn't eat a few moon cakes you made during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now I have to make up for it." ”

Hua Manxi snorted and stopped talking. When he arrived at the house, Xu Jinfei was not there. asked Xu Yang and said that the master had something to do when he went out. Although Wang Shishi is not very clear about some of the deeper inside, Xu Jinfei is Xu Gongzi of Huamanxi, she still knows, so she looked like she understood and I understand, passed Xu Yang lightly, and went to the kitchen to rummage through food by herself.

Hua Manxi made a chestnut cake a few days ago, and put it in the ice cellar, although the weather is getting cooler, in fact, it doesn't need to be cooled so much, but sweets are often more delicious. During the Mid-Autumn Festival before, she made a box of snowy mooncakes and sent them to Chen's mansion, and ordered them to be as soon as possible.

Wang Shishi took a bite of it, and the cold and smooth sweetness seeped out, and she immediately ordered Tianxian Lou to add this Mid-Autumn Festival sale, as for what style to make and what activities to do, it should be the worry of the people below. The surface of the chestnut cake was sprinkled with crushed walnuts and a layer of soybean flour to make it richer in taste, and Wang Shishi squinted her eyes pleasantly, not even paying attention to when Hua Manxi came to her.

Hua Manxi made her a cup of green tea, which was air-conditioned, and it was also packed in a glass cup, with lemon slices half-inserted on it for decoration, Wang Shishi didn't care too much, took it and drank it, and suddenly her face was distorted. After swallowing it all, he hissed his tongue and said, "Manxi, what did you get, so sour." Have you recently had a change in taste? ”

Hua Manxi took a sip of her before he smiled: "This is called vinegar drink, I used freshly squeezed fruit juice, added some crushed ice, and poured a little white vinegar." Don't look at the acid, it's good for the human body, you don't drink it in a big gulp, you have to drink it slowly to taste a little sweetness. I've thought about it, some of the current pastry shops, although the business is good, but it is just on the stall, customers buy it and leave, if we still sell some of this kind of tea, make the store elegant and tidy, won't it be able to attract more customers? ”

"What you say makes sense, I'll try again." Wang Shishi frowned, bared her teeth, and glanced at the cup of things that looked very clear and delicious before, as if she was a little afraid. She tasted it for a long time before she smacked a little sweetness from the tip of her tongue, but she was addicted, Hua Manxi glanced at her, and smiled: "Is this Li'er?" As I said earlier, women like to eat sour and sweet things more than men, so you can eat less of this cake and eat it later. ”

The two talked slowly for a while, Wang Shishi held her face and drank half a cup and said, "I really don't know why you want to go for so long." Autumn is really not a good season, although there are green dates that I love to eat. Hua Manxi raised the knife and cut a small piece of dessert, and then said slowly: "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring." In my opinion, autumn is the best season. I don't know how many things are cooked and can be put on the table, otherwise wouldn't a gluttonous cat like you have nothing to eat? ”

Wang Shishi thought for a while, sniffed and said, "When I come back, I want to drink your sour bamboo shoots and duck soup." A few old customers also said that they hope you can come a few times when you are free. Also, the one you mentioned, every anniversary, counting the diners with the highest spending, and then handing out invitations one by one, inviting them to the party, I think the budget is a bit high-"

The two of them were talking and eating, and before they knew it, it was time for the stars to shine in the sky. Wang Shishi lay on the table, closed her eyelids slightly, and was already asleep. Hua Manxi cautiously wanted to help her up, at least to the soft collapse on the side, but unfortunately when she was unconscious, she was really a little heavy, and she couldn't help but stumble. Xiao Wu outside the door ran in, helped Wang Shishi with her, packed up her things, and closed the door.

Hua Manxi asked casually, what are Xiao Wu's plans in the future. Xiao Wu was also a little confused, shook his head lightly and said: "Although I am still innocent, I am already married, and it will not be easy to find a good family in the future." And you and Miss Wang have done me a great favor this time, and you have also arranged my cousin, I have heard that Master Chen is a good official. In the future, he will follow the adults, whether he can get ahead or not, I am relieved. ”

"What about yourself?"

"If—if you don't dislike it, I want to work with you in the future, learn how to cook, and be a human being. I've figured it out now, if a person wants to be opportunistic and want to live well, God, there will always be a way to clean you up. ”
