Chapter 138: Eyeliner
When the peach blossom crisp was brought over, Ruan Cailing was playing the piccolo, and Gu Jinxi on the side listened quietly, with a smile on her face, Qingrui didn't want to interrupt this beautiful and warm moment, but looked at the peach blossom crisp in her hand, if she stood for a while, it would cool down, and Qingrui could only walk over.
"Shizi, eldest lady, the peach blossom is crispy, Shiziye, this is made by our eldest lady, it is really made by herself, Aunt Mei and I didn't help, we just licked the firewood." Qingrui put the peach blossom cake on the table.
The pears in the back followed, holding tea made from peach nectar.
Gu Jinxi looked at the peach blossom cake on the table, pale pink and milky white intertwined, the appearance looked excellent, and the smell was also delicious, Gu Jinxi looked at Ruan Cailing in amazement, and said to her, "You really know how to do it?" ”
"Of course, I don't know anything else, but the peach blossom cake is well done, you can taste it." Ruan Cailing diligently picked up a piece and handed it to Gu Jinxi.
Gu Jinxi took it and took a bite, it is indeed the most accustomed taste of peach blossom cake, but there are some other flavors in its own taste, Gu Jinxi can't say what it is, but it is delicious, it really suits his taste.
The peach blossom crisp eaten in Ruyizhai or other places is a little sweet, but Ruan Cailing will not make it, not only does not have that Chinese sweet and greasy taste, but also mixed with a light saltiness, the two tastes are very good, and you want to eat the second bite when you bite into it.
"It tastes very good, better than all the peach cakes I've ever tasted." Gu Jinxi quickly finished eating one.
Ruan Cailing exhaled a long breath, in fact, she was not worried at all.
No one knows Gu Jinxi's taste better than her, Gu Jinxi's favorite thing to eat is this kind of peach blossom crisp, she mixed salted egg yolk into the original peach blossom crisp, so that there will be no overly sweet taste, Gu Jinxi is a big man after all, no girl loves sweets.
Ordinary peach blossom crisp, even if Gu Jinxi loves to eat, he will get tired of eating two.
But this kind of thing doesn't.
He ate three or four pieces in a row before taking a sip of tea to rest.
"Here I put salted egg yolk to neutralize the sweet and greasy feeling, I know you like to eat peach blossom crisp, and you also love to eat egg yolk crisp, so put it together, I said, I know your taste best, how about it, my craftsmanship is good." Ruan Cailing invited credit.
Gu Jinxi nodded, "Well, it's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious peach blossom crisp." ”
"If you like it, I'll do it often, I've done a lot this time, you bring some to my grandmother in a while, just now my grandmother ordered someone to bring me supplements, I don't know what to give back to my grandmother, you can take some peach blossom crisp back."
Gu Jinxi nodded, and wanted to eat, but Ruan Cailing patted Gu Jinxi's hand away, "I can't eat anymore, no matter how delicious things are, if you eat hard, you will get tired, you haven't eaten lunch?" ”
During this time, Gu Jinxi didn't know what he was busy with, although he didn't enter the palace or go outside the gate, he was so busy that he couldn't see anyone at all except for Ruan Cailing, even the old princess and Gu Yu couldn't see Gu Jinxi.
It can be said that Gu Jinxi can still come to Ruan Cailing, and he also attaches great importance to Ruan Cailing.
Before dawn in the morning, Gu Jinxi still left Xuanwang's Mansion, and only came back at this time, so he came directly to Ruan Cailing, where is the time to eat!
Since this is the case, Ruan Cailing asked Qingrui to tell Aunt Mei to prepare the meal.
"I guess it's going to be a while, the eldest brother should come back, the eldest brother has been busy with the shop recently, and you can also read the account book when you come back, eat it at my place, by the way, do you have any news of Mu Yifei recently?"
Since the palace gave her a gift, she has never received news from Mu Yifei, I heard that it was because Mu Yifei secretly ran out of the palace some time ago, the emperor was furious, and directly deepened the guards beside Mu Yifei.
Now, if Mu Yifei wants to run out and play directly, it will be even more difficult.
"Recently, I have been in Concubine Lan's palace, and I haven't even gone back to my own palace, Concubine Lan is afraid that Chunhui will run out again, so she will be locked in the palace and practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day." Gu Jinxi said.
Sure enough, Ruan Cailing sighed, in fact, she still likes Mu Yifei's character, if she can be friends with Mu Yifei, many things will be less troublesome, but now it seems that she has to work hard herself! Can't count on anyone else!
When Ruan Xuchen came back, he happened to see Qingrui coming out of the kitchen with someone to serve food and walking directly to Sihua Building.
Ruan Xuchen looked at so many dishes, it didn't look like Ruan Cailing was eating alone, so he asked, "Who is on the eldest lady's side?" ”
Seeing that it was Ruan Xuchen, the person who was pulled hurriedly said, "King Xuan's prince came in the afternoon, and now he is talking to the eldest lady, oh yes, the prince, the eldest lady said, if you come back, you will go directly to her to dine and prepare your share." ”
Yo he, I'm still ready for him! Since this is the case, Ruan Xuchen changed his route and went to Ruan Cailing's side.
"Big brother, you're back." Ruan Cailing sat in the room on the second floor, ready to eat, and Ruan Xuchen went upstairs behind Qingrui and the others.
Ruan Xuchen sat beside Gu Jinxi, "You have prepared my meal, you just know that I will come back for dinner, can I not come?" ”
"I think you're just going to the shop to fight, it won't take much time, hard brother! Come, eat! Jin Xi hasn't eaten for a day, what about you, big brother? ”
In fact, Ruan Xuchen is similar, if he is not busy with the affairs of the palace, he is busy with the affairs of the shops, and as the weather gets colder, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens is about to be launched, and many forces have been preparing for this matter recently, not only the three princes and the nine princes are busy.
People inside and outside the palace are waiting for this opportunity.
But most people want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the emperor or the prince, and Gu Jinxi and Ruan Xuchen want to protect the emperor and the prince, so they are very busy, Ruan Xuchen sighed, "You hurry up and get better, it's good to help me look at the account book, why am I so busy?" ”
Ruan Cailing pouted, "I want to read the account book, you won't let me see it!" It's not like I don't watch it myself! ”
Just some time ago, Ruan Cailing looked like that, how dare Ruan Xuchen let her read the account book!
But looking at it now, there should be nothing to do, Ruan Xuchen called Jiang Chen to come up and asked him to take all the account books in his room to Ruan Cailing's study, and wait for Ruan Cailing to take a look at it when he has free time.
"Is there any news from Tianji Pavilion?" Ruan Xuchen asked Gu Jinxi.
Gu Jinxi glanced at Ruan Xuchen and then at Ruan Cailing.
Obviously, Ruan Cailing didn't understand what Ruan Xuchen meant, but she had also heard about the reputation of Tianji Pavilion, the most meticulous intelligence organization in the world, how could Ruan Cailing not know? She had known of the existence of such an organization since her previous life.
I never knew that this organization had something to do with Gu Jinxi.
Looking at Gu Jinxi's expression now, Ruan Cailing's eyes were full of incredulity.
Gu Jinxi nodded, "Mu Yichen's letter has been intercepted, but it is not any important information, but every time Xie Qingyuan is mentioned, it seems that before the heaven sacrifice ceremony, Xie Qingyuan and Mu Yichen will have any actions." ”
But now that Xie Qingyuan lives in the Dingguo Mansion, can't they see any movements?
During this time, Xie Qingyuan spent every day in the room reading books during the day, and would meet Ji Jingyan at night, and the rest was to go to the study, but Ruan Cailing remembered the scene that Gu Jinxi took herself to the study that day.
The main thing Xie Qingyuan did when he went to the study was not to read or buy books, but to meet the people around Mu Yichen.
In this way, it can be determined that the relationship between Xie Qingyuan and Mu Yichen must be plotting something.
"So what now? Is it to cut off the relationship between Xie Qingyuan and Mu Yichen or what? Ruan Cailing asked.
Ruan Xuchen gave Ruan Cailing a chopstick fish, and shook his head, "You can't cut it off now, if that's the case, there is still plenty of time for Mu Yichen to change someone, the gains outweigh the losses, it's better to let go and let Xie Qingyuan do it, I want to see what a scholar can do." ”
After speaking, Ruan Xuchen was silent for a moment and asked Ruan Cailing again, "Did you say anything to the people who got married?" ”
At the beginning, Shen Yunyun met Lin Yicheng's concubine, and Ruan Xuchen always felt that it was a pimple in his heart.
That concubine abandoned Xie Qingyuan and chose Shen Yunyun instead.
But now it seems that Xie Qingyuan's line is still being used, which means that the concubine and Mu Yichen's people do not have the same purpose, so why did Lin Yicheng's people use Shen Yunyun?
Ruan Cailing thought about the news that Jiang Chen had recently sent back, shook her head and said, "Nothing! Isn't it just that Qingqing's children are gone, and they are making trouble at home? And I also put a person by Cheng Xuan's side, but now the time is not right, I haven't entered the family yet, and it will be a few days. ”
What she said was Pan'er, and now Pan'er is still in Fengyue Building, and she hasn't entered the family yet.
As a result, only when Cheng Xuan went to Fengyue Tower, Pan'er could know the news of the family.
"As soon as possible, you let the Qinglou woman enter the family quickly, this matter can't be delayed any longer, it has to be done a month before the ceremony is held, otherwise we won't have time to deal with it." Ruan Xuchen said.
Ruan Cailing nodded, Gu Jinxi glanced at Ruan Cailing, and asked, "Have you gone to find Su Yi?" ”
Gu Jinxi didn't expect that Ruan Cailing and Su Yi were just Yaoyao when they met, Ruan Cailing really remembered this person, and used Su Yi to find such an eyeliner.
"Yes! I asked Jiang Chen to find it, I don't have anyone available at hand, Tingfei is just a maid after all, Shen Yunyun is not favored, Cheng Xuan has gone to Shen Yunyun's side too few times, and I have learned little news, I have to find someone who is favored. Ruan Cailing said.
Ruan Xuchen nodded, "That's right, as long as you can hold Cheng Xuan's heart, it's easy to do things, you're right." ”
"That's for sure!"
