Chu Nian and Mei Xiang followed Fu Mi out of the Buddha hall, and watched him take them along the familiar path to a meditation room, where a small monk was walking out, and calmly gave a Buddhist salute to Fu Mi.

Fu Mi returned the salute, and the little monk slowly left from the side, and saw Fu Mi carefully push open the door, leading Chu Nian to the inside, and stayed in the meditation room - this meditation room was divided into two rooms, inside was a dark room, and there was a mahogany square table outside, the square table was dyed with sandalwood, and there was a Buddha statue hanging on the wall. Fu Mi sat down at the table with Chu Nian, and his gestures were natural, as if he belonged here, or had been here since the beginning, and had never left.

A ray of surprise flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, and he saw a smile calmly picking up the teacup, seeing this, Chu Nian had to say a little helplessly: "My mind has always been unable to escape the eyes of Master Fumi." ”

Hearing this, the floating brows frowned uncheckably, so he took out an object from his arms and gently placed it in front of Chu Nian, Chu Nian looked down, it was a rather old-looking book, with the three big characters of "Treading Snow Pavilion" written on it, and he heard a floating voice from there, "This is what the poor monk got together when he got that exercise, and the poor monk was also curious about that organization, but," he paused and said: "If the county lord needs it more, then this book will be given to the county lord." ”

Today's harvest is not small, just this book, even worth a thousand words. Putting the book in his arms, Chu Nian smiled lightly at Fu Mi, "Then thank you Master Fu Mi, I'm welcome." ”

"Condolences."

Chu Nian also showed doubts on his face, his fame was outside, and nine times out of ten he really saw something, so he opened his mouth to say it, is it possible...... Chu Nian frowned, his gaze swept in the direction of Fu Mi's departure, and at the end, his face turned around with a slightly calm face, and his red lips pursed: "Let's go." ”

It was lonely at night, Chu Nian sat by the window and looked at the book in his hand intently, at this time, Mei Xiang's figure slowly came in from outside, holding a plate of refreshments in his hand, and carefully placed it on Chu Nian's side, "Lady, come and try the newly made pastries in the back kitchen." ”

Mei Xiang smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Aqing's craftsmanship is very good, the slave maid has tasted it in advance, this osmanthus cake melts in the mouth, and there will be an aftertaste after the taste blooms, which is much better than those ordinary osmanthus cakes." ”

Mei Xiang pouted, "It's not that she subdued the slave maid, it's her craft that subdues the slave maid, lady, you don't know, earlier you always had something to do, Ah Qing often went to the dining room to exercise her skills, and the slave and maid accompanied her, every time Ah Qing did it was made by the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were clear about the poisonous and non-poisonous slaves and maids, so she gave the first bite to the slave and maid when she tasted it......"

Chu Nian couldn't cry or laugh, "It's really a few bites of dim sum that bought you." ”

This osmanthus cake really melts in the mouth, cold and cold, mixed with sporadic glutinous rice dumplings and a few osmanthus flowers, the taste is good, and the faint sweetness goes down the throat, with an inexplicable softness.

Chu Nian frowned and nodded slowly, this Ah Qing seems to have been here for a while, and she hasn't seen any big moves, but she really can't believe that the Queen Mother just found a pastry chef to give it to her because she likes to eat pastries...... This sounds ridiculous.

Seeing Chu Nian asking about Ah Qing, Mei Xiang said ignorantly: "Miss Ah Qing is preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's snack in the dining room, lady, what's wrong?" ”

Mei Xiang suddenly became nervous, she wrinkled her brows and said, "Lady...... In fact, Miss A-Qing is also strange, her father and mother died earlier, and the Queen Mother did not ask her to see her, and this time there is also a little resentment towards the Queen Mother in her heart, and it is not her willingness to be thrown into our house by the Queen Mother, this ......"

Seeing this, Mei Xiang's eyes suddenly bent, "The slave knows that my lady is a good person, so the slave will call Miss A-Qing here." ”

After a while, I saw Mei Xiang come in with a cyan figure, and today A-Qing is still wearing a cyan long skirt, with a cyan tulle on her face, and a beautiful face looming underneath, and she is on her hands

Holding a small plate of milk cakes, the shape of the milk cakes is made into various small animals, and placed under the candle flame, as if it is still steaming.

Chu Nian raised his eyes and nodded slowly, Mei Xiang was waiting on the side, this time he honestly didn't talk much, this stall, he saw Chu Nian's eyes fall on the lifelike little animal milk cake, Ah Qing lowered his eyes and explained: "Back to the county lord, this is the milk cake that the little girl just made, and I specially brought it to the county lord to taste." ”

Ah Qing nodded slowly with an indifferent face, and then saw Chu Nian put down his chopsticks, and said with a slight smile: "You have such skills, so my Chu family has really wronged you." ”

Chu Nian's eyes swept slightly over the corner of the wall, Mei Xiang who was looking at this side with a worried face, frowned a little helplessly, and said lightly: "Your life experience, I have mostly heard Mei Xiang say, your parents, do you have a good burial?" ”

Her reddish eyes didn't seem to be fake, but Chu Nian clearly saw a hint of inquiry in those eyes, and this was not heard from Mei Xiang, but the result of the investigation when she sent someone to investigate, but most of the rhetoric and the rhetoric to Mei Xiang were the same, just like a stage script that had been rehearsed in advance, and this play also seemed to have been rehearsed a long time ago.

When these words fell, Ah Qing looked at Chu Nian with gratitude, and at the end, she almost wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Chu Nian, and thanked her again and again, Chu Nian asked Mei Xiang to take her back to rest, and when she was left alone to ponder, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

With a certain number in his heart, Chu Nian put down the book in his hand, and walked towards the door, the heavy snow for days ago had stopped, and the ice and snow in the yard were full of branches, if he didn't wear a robe, there would be a little more chill coming in, Chu Nian frowned and looked at the plane tree in the yard that was covered by a white snow, his eyes were dazed for a moment, and then a body sounded from the side: "The county lord is so excited today, in such a cold weather, he still enjoys the snow in the middle of the night?" ”
