Chapter 144: Old acquaintances everywhere

In the end, of course, this matter had to be arranged by Zhou Yue, he asked Xiao Quanzi to go down to prepare gifts according to the number of people in Qu Mansion, and asked the coachman to send Mai Xiaohuan to his private mansion for one night, and Xiao Quanzi would personally send her to Qu Mansion tomorrow.

Mai Xiaohuan stretched out his hands towards Qu Mang, he had no right to speak at all, so he could only obey the arrangement. Qu Mang knew that this matter was not something that Mai Xiaohuan could say, so he said goodbye to the two of them and went back to Qufu to resume his life. He planned to tell the master and his wife about the things along the way, especially the story between Zhou Yue and the third miss, so that they could find a way to bring the third miss back to Qufu to live, it was too dangerous to stay with Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue's current residence was originally also a palace, with carved beams and paintings, pavilions and rockeries. From the door, take a small sedan chair and a pillar of incense to reach the backyard. Mai Xiaohuan remembered that it took him so long to walk from the east of the village to the west of the village, which is too exaggerated!

"Miss Xiaohuan, I finally looked forward to you." Mama Tian came over to say hello, and she could let the prince pick it up in person, and her status in the heart of the prince can be seen. In the past two years, many things have changed, and Mai Xiaohuan has also faded from childishness and grown into a delicate girl.

"Hello Mama Tian, I haven't seen you for two years, and you haven't changed at all."

The two of them wanted to say a few more polite words, but they were interrupted by Zhou Yue, why didn't they hear her praise themselves so much. He asked Mama Tian to arrange a place for Mai Xiaohuan to live, and then find two sensible and quick maids to serve, and mercifully exempted Mai Xiaohuan's work as a cook tonight, and let her rest and wait for the food to be done.

To be able to taste the craftsmanship of the chef in the capital, Mai Xiaohuan couldn't ask for it, with the hands and feet don't know where to put the good mountain chrysanthemum and Tian Mama chatted while walking, and soon arrived at an independent courtyard, a two-story building, hidden in the green bamboo, rockery, small pavilion, flower bed exquisite and chic. Mai Xiaohuan couldn't help but slander, this place is good enough, Zhou Yue's guy actually wants to renovate it, design it for him himself, and smash it with silver, anyway, people have money.

After resting, Mai Xiaohuan waited for the meal at his residence, and waited and waited for no one to deliver the meal, Mai Xiaohuan thought that he had been forgotten again!

"Grandma, why don't you go to the front hall to eat!" Shizi waited there for a while, and asked himself to come and urge, this girl sat in the room reading like no one else.

When he arrived at the place, he let himself accompany him to eat, and he was not afraid of being laughed at and discussed by the people below. When Mai Xiaohuan moved to the dining room, Zhou Yue was sitting there reading a book!

"Don't you have to eat when you enter the capital? Come over as soon as it's time to eat, come on! Try the chefs in my house. ”

Of course, the food cooked by the chef is good, the appearance and taste are first-class, Mai Xiaohuan praised it, but was perfunctory by Zhou Yue's joke attitude, it must be jealous of others, and he must humbly study and ask for advice in the future.

"You let me go to Beijing, won't it be just for this! If so, then I'll go to work in the kitchen tomorrow. ”

Thinking beautifully, Zhou Yue told Mai Xiaohuan to give her a two-day vacation, and after two days, she would find out the situation in the house and design the best toilet, bathroom, and bedroom for herself. Once the drawings were made, they could move on to the Lodge, which required five different styles and different crops: "Can it be done?" ”

It's too hard, isn't it? Mai Xiaohuan asked him if the more comfortable and luxurious the residence, the better, and each room was arranged in the same style?

Of course not, Zhou Yue said that his master bedroom is according to the highest standards, and another one is suitable for distinguished guests, remember to use some brightly colored decorations, and the others are changed to the standard of Mai Xiaohuan Villa.

Did this guy also have a bedroom for the future hostess? I can't see that he's quite caring. With a snicker, Mai Xiaohuan turned back to a serious appearance when facing Zhou Yue, and nodded in agreement with his request.

The bad girl has grown up, and when she used to live in the lotus courtyard, she would occasionally make fun of herself and make some jokes. Now she won't say anything that might cause misunderstanding, and even if she accidentally says it, she will quickly explain, for fear that she will think she has ulterior motives.

If it was someone else, Zhou Yue would think that she was doing it on purpose, just to get her attention. Mai Xiaohuan is really not, although she was born in an ordinary family, she is very proud in her bones, she doesn't want to touch the light of others, and she doesn't want to use some relationships to seek anything, she likes to fight and create with her own hands, and her eyes always shine with confidence. This is also where Zhou Yue was unconsciously attracted to her, who said that women must be dependent on men, and bad girls are not self-reliant!

"I want to ask if there will be overseas merchants in the capital, that is, barbarians."

"What are you asking about this?"

Mai Xiaohuan hooked his fingers and asked Zhou Yue to get closer: "I have seen two kinds of crops in books, one is called baogu and the other is called artichoke; I prefer to call them corn and potatoes. If you can find these two crops, you will really make a fortune. ”

I have lived in the capital for so many years and have never heard of corn as a crop, and I have seen artichoke occasionally, how can a bad girl know. Seeing that she seems to be able to plant, this girl knows far more things than she resembles, it seems that there are many things that can be discovered in her, Zhou Yue expects her to bring more surprises and miracles to herself.

"You draw down the appearance of those two crops, and I will ask people to find them, and after finding them, we will cooperate, and then divide the account in five or five years."

Mai Xiaohuan shook her head, Zhou Yue didn't expect her to react like this, a little angry and a little sad. Afraid that he would misunderstand, Mai Xiaohuan explained: "Corn is a food crop that is almost as useful as rice and wheat, or even more widely used than them. Potatoes are also more practical than sweet potatoes, both for cooking and as a substitute for some grains.

It is no exaggeration to say that they will bring earth-shaking changes to the planting industry, which will benefit the country and the people, and the commercial value will be immeasurable. I went to see my stepmother, this is the silver that asked Xiaoquanzi to buy a gift, not enough to pay you back when I come back. ”

When Mai Xiaohuan left and when the maids cleaned the table, Zhou Yue didn't notice until Mama Tian found the silver ticket on the table and exclaimed, which pulled him back to reality.

casually flipped through the silver ticket, there were 5,000 taels, as much as she gave her back then, she knew that she didn't spend so much silver to buy gifts, did she want to repay her favor? Mai Xiaohuan, the more you are like this, the less I will be able to do what you want, didn't you say that you would cooperate if you find those two things? In this way, the two of them can be tied together, and even if they can't find it, it doesn't matter, they will definitely find a way to keep her.

Lying on the soft brocade quilt and smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the incense burner, Mai Xiaohuan quickly fell asleep......

There are no chickens and birds, no dogs barking and cows barking, plus after so many days of driving, when Mai Xiaohuan got up, the sun had already reached his buttocks.

"It's over, it's over." I'm going to visit Qufu today, and Zhou Yue, I'm afraid I'm going to be scolded when I get up so late.

The maids who were serving Mai Xiaohuan were named Qingxiang and Qingguo, and when they brought brand-new dresses and jewelry, they had to step forward to help.

"Two sisters, wait, I didn't bring these things myself!"

"The prince asked the slave to tell Miss Mai that the silver you gave to buy gifts will not be used at all, and the rest will be used as your expenses during your stay in the capital."

Shizi, he has finally regained his position. In this way, the gap between the two people is even greater, and I will have to be more cautious in speaking and doing things in front of him in the future.

There is also the matter of gifts, I just don't want to owe him too much, I only took out 5,000 taels of silver yesterday, but I didn't expect to come back after a turn. If he sends the silver again, he will definitely turn his face, and he really doesn't want to accept his gift like this. It seems that you can only put more effort into the decoration design to repay the favor.

After the two maids were busy, looking at the peach-faced, delicate and touching little girl in the bronze mirror, Mai Xiaohuan almost couldn't recognize herself.

"Girl, you're so good-looking."

How can your master be good-looking! Mai Xiaohuan ate breakfast in her room, and when she learned that Zhou Yue had gone out early in the morning, she stroked her chest and felt glad that she had escaped.

Before he could speak when he met Xiaoquanzi under the porch, Mai Xiaohuan found a familiar cage with a little squirrel that he had given to Zhou Yue.

She walked over and just wanted to tease her, when the maid next to her brought a handful of peeled nuts and put them in the cage: "Little bad, you can have breakfast quickly!" ”

Mai Xiaohuan was petrified in an instant, and when he turned his head to look at Xiaoquanzi in anger, he was shrugging his shoulders and snickering!

"Is this squirrel female or male?"

"Male"

That should be called Zhou Yue! If you call it so bluntly, you will definitely be scolded, so let's call it "Zhou Zhou".

"I gave it a new name, it's much better than Xiaobad, it's called Zhou Zhou, Brother Xiaoquanzi, don't you think this new name is better!"

Xiao Quanzi looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear Mai Xiaohuan's words, and the moment he saw Mai Xiaohuan in full costume, he was also amazed. It's no wonder that such a little girl went to greet the prince in person, if the status is more valuable, Xiaoquanzi thinks that Mai Xiaohuan is qualified to be the princess.

Even if you can't be the princess, what is there to do! As long as you get the recognition and sincerity of the prince, what is a name!

The future heroine can't afford to offend herself, and the prince can't be offended, so Xiaoquanzi can only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore Mai Xiaohuan's proposal.

"Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou, I'm going out, I'll play with you when I come back! See you every week! After shouting several times in a row, Mai Xiaohuan felt much more comfortable, got into a small sedan chair and went to the door, and sat in the carriage specially prepared for her by Zhou Yue's order, which not only had the logo of Chenwangfu, but also Zhou Yue's personal escort An Ying.

"Miss Xiaohuan, we meet again."

Fortunately, the second sisters came along, but it feels really good to meet old acquaintances everywhere in an unfamiliar environment.
