Jiang Cailing picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and brought it to her mouth, her lips opened slightly, and she tasted the sweet and slightly sour taste in her mouth.

In the box, the green smoke curls up from the hollow pattern of the incense burner, and there is also a stove in the corner of the house, which is warm, and the yellow candlelight adds warmth.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, the two people in the room did not speak, maintaining the unique tranquility of the two of them, and even Jiu Ge and Bai He, who were waiting on the side, tiptoed out when they saw this.

The two didn't know that what Jiang Cailing was thinking about at this time was not quiet at all, Jiang Cailing saw Gu Jiming's words and deeds today, and there was no intention of dissolving the marriage contract, and anxiety was born in her heart, looking at Gu Jiming's elegant eating appearance, she thought about it for a while, and a smile appeared on her lips, like a kitten who had stolen a fish.

Reach out and pick up a piece of mung bean cake, mung bean cake texture is soft, made of mung bean ground into powder and then processed, most of the mung bean cake sold on the market is long, after a bite, the lips will be stained with powder unsightly, so all noble ladies will rarely eat this cake outside, if you have to eat it, it will be wrapped in a handkerchief.

Eating mung bean cake was once one of the exams sent by Emperor Zhaohong to guide etiquette.

But Jiang Cailing was not ready to show how she ate mung bean cake to eat elegantly, but deliberately ate rudely, which made Gu Jiming disgusted.

It is also necessary to be quiet, not too obvious, Gu Jiming's heart is as careful as dust, and he can't see that he is deliberate.

Jiang Cailing took a bite gently, the dregs of the mung bean cake were crushed and fell to the ground, and her lips were also stained with light green slag.

Gu Jiming frowned slightly, which made Jiang Cailing very happy in his heart,

The flowers bloom with two petals, talking on both sides.

On Suzaku Street, Qian Lan was wandering around the street with the maid, looking for Gu Jiming's figure, and was suddenly bumped by a few naughty boys, frowning slightly, Qian Lan was busy lowering her head and carefully checking the clothes on her body.

Qian Lan is dressed very brightly today, perhaps to set off this festive season. Inside is a light pink flowered long dress, wearing a thin gold silk tobacco veil, and the outermost is wrapped in a snow-white fox fur, which is embracing its red cheeks like delicate flowers, and the cumbersome walking jewelry on the top of the head destroys this beauty by half.

In fact, Qian Lan doesn't like to participate in such people's activities on weekdays, because she feels that she is noble, and these people are all coarse linen clothes, for fear of damaging her brocade clothes.

However, this morning, she received a message from Gu Guozhong's cronies, and the original words were like this: The old man Su Wen Miss Qian is among the twelve noble daughters in Luoyang, she has both talent and virtue, and she is very compatible with the dog, and the girl of the He family cannot be compared.

Qian Lan was naturally very excited when she saw the recognition of her future father-in-law, and she also understood that Master Gu allowed her to destroy the marriage of the Gu and He families. He immediately dressed up, and it was not until almost dusk that he staggered to the street in a sedan chair.

However, the street was crowded, and the sedan chair couldn't get in, Qian Lan had to grit her teeth for the future husband in her heart, and took the maidservant girl out of the sedan chair.

However, there are many people on the street, and after looking for a long time, Qian Lan is always hit by people who don't have long eyes, and she is so angry that she wants her own government soldiers to come out and beat everyone who hit her.

was about to enter a teahouse to rest, and when he went to the private room on the second floor, he happened to see Bai He and Jiu Ge guarding the door.

Yes, Gu Ji must be inside!

Qian Lan was ecstatic, and did not forget to turn around and ask the maid if her hair was messy, straightened the clothes on her body, and walked to the door gracefully, "Isn't this Bai He, it seems that Miss He is also there, it just so happens that I haven't seen Miss Gu for a long time, I was concerned about the assassination of Princess Nanzhao last time, and I said some very bad things, and I always wanted to apologize to Miss He in person, but I didn't expect to run into it today." ”

The girl has been in the house for a few days, if she wanted to apologize, she would have come to the door a long time ago, where would she wait for a chance encounter on the street to apologize?

Bai He suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, and said with a slight bow, "My girl also knows that Miss Qian is suddenly concerned about chaos because of the incident, how can she remember your bad heart, and she always says that Miss Qian has both talent and virtue, and wants to see her, but today our girl is talking about things with nobles, which is really unfortunate." ”

"That's it," Qian Lan secretly gave her maid a look, taking advantage of Jiuge Baihe's unpreparedness, the maid pretended to slip unintentionally and slammed the door, Qian Lan raised her eyes with joy, and saw Jiang Cailing wipe the food residue from her mouth with her cuffs.

As a standard lady of the family, Qian Lan's upbringing is cultivated according to the words and deeds of a lady, and eating to her lips is a manifestation of no upbringing, not to mention wiping her mouth with a cuff, she is simply a barbarian!

Qian Lan also saw Gu Jiming's slightly frowning brows, and naturally thought that he was as disgusted as she was with Jiang Cailing's rude and ugly behavior, so she said proudly, "Lord Gu, Fifth Miss He, it's such a coincidence that I met you here." ”

Jiang Cailing didn't have the time to take care of Qian Lan, continued to act, swallowed the pastry, hurriedly poured a cup of Da Hong Pao, and drank it all with his head up, like a hero in the book.

"Heh, Miss He Wu really ruined this big red robe for nothing. Tea is needed, like Miss He Wu," Qian Lan seemed to think of something interesting, covered her lips slightly with a towel, and said with a smile, "Isn't that a buffalo drinking water!" ”

On weekdays, when encountering such low-level ridicule, Jiang Cailing would not fight back, but it happened that this was in front of Gu Jiming.

Since ancient times, women have been required to be gentle and virtuous, and to understand the general situation, and one of the seven out of one is that if a woman is jealous, she will be divorced by her husband's family. Gu Jiming, such a cold and arrogant person, must be very disgusted with jealous women.

Qian Lan's appearance really helped me, Jiang Cailing opened her lips and raised a sarcastic smile, "Could it be that Miss Qian has ever seen a buffalo drinking water?" “

"I haven't seen it, but I've read it in a book."

Jiang Cailing nodded suddenly, with a smile on her lips, "Yes, I actually forgot, although the Qian family doesn't attach importance to women's learning, Miss Qian should know a few big characters." ”

"You ......" What Qian Lan hates most is that others say that she is a straw bag, and now Jiang Cailing says this, I am afraid that Gu Jiming will mistakenly think that she is a woman who is a golden and ruined woman.

The previous few verbal battles made Qian Lan know that if she scolded Jiang Cailing at this time, she would not have the upper hand, so she looked at Gu Jiming softly with a pair of autumn eyes, full of grievances, as if she had been bullied, which made people feel pity when they saw it.

"Ling'er, this matter is wrong with you!" Gu Jiming's voice sounded, ending the dispute between the two.

Jiang Cailing pretended to be angry on her face, but in fact, there were tens of thousands of figures celebrating and singing in her heart.

That's right, it's that she's savage, and she doesn't have a lady's upbringing; It's her jealousy and clever words, and she doesn't tolerate anyone. So, Master Gu, please hurry up and quit this family business.

"Although Miss Qian is not literate and reads much, this is also a well-known fact in Luoyang City, but you can't deliberately poke at people's shortcomings."

Qian Lan: "......"

Although these words seem to blame Jiang Cailing, everyone with ears can hear that this is mocking Qian Lan. Jiu Ge couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but sigh that his adult's poisonous tongue skills had been perfected.

Jiang Cailing stared at Gu Jiming, only to see Gu Jiming stretching out his slender fingers, his handsome face was magnified, and her surprised reflection was reflected in a pair of black eyes, and the temperature of his fingers crossed his face, "Some mung bean cake powder." ”

The skin on contact seemed to be dyed with sparks, hot, Jiang Cailing ducked back, and narrowed her eyes, "Master Gu is right, it's me who is wrong." ”

When Qian Lan saw this scene, her eyes were about to erupt, she looked at Jiang Cailing fiercely, and scolded in her heart, this fox must have used some means to confuse Gu Xiang, she must let Gu Xiang see the true appearance of this fox girl!

Just when the room fell into a strange atmosphere, Xiao Er appeared at the door with a loud voice, "Five guest officers, the time for the game is coming, do you want to participate?" ”

Jiu Ge asked with interest, "What competition?" ”

"Our teahouse holds a competition on the fifteenth day of the first month, the sixth month of June, and the lunar month, and the content of the competition is very simple, that is, you taste a bite of pastry, and then say the ingredients for making it. The prize is the osmanthus oil brought back by the boss from Chu State, I heard that after smearing, it can make dry hair black and soft, and there is also the effect of increasing hair volume, there are only two bottles in the whole week, if it is not for this osmanthus oil will be invalid for a long time, the proprietress is reluctant to be used as a color head! ”

The osmanthus oil of Chu is quite famous, she has indeed heard of it, and heard that the shopkeeper only sells it to his own people, and if other people want to buy it, he will not buy it.

There are also shops in the Dazhou market who claim to buy osmanthus oil brought from the Chu State, but after buying it home, they find that almost all of them are fakes, and the price is not cheap when they buy it.

Because of malnutrition when I was a child, my hair has been a little sparse and frizzy, and my hair seems to be glued together with paste, and I will always comb my hair until my scalp hurts after combing my hair for several days.

It would be nice if I could win osmanthus oil and give it to Jiang Finch, so I stood up, "I'll participate." ”

Hearing that Jiang Cailing was going to participate, Qian Lan was naturally not to be outdone, and also stood up, "Miss Ben is also going to participate." ”

"Gotcha!" Xiao Er took them downstairs, only to see that there were a lot of contestants, Jiu Ge Haoxin counted, "Yo, good guy, there are more than forty people, and this small teahouse is not afraid of losing money." ”

Jiu Ge was obviously thinking too much, and the middle-aged and slightly chubby boss walked out of the curtain, followed by the guy with the pastry tray in his hand, and said with a smile, "This pastry is secret, if anyone can name all the ingredients, he can win a bottle of Chu Guo osmanthus oil!" However, this pastry is cumbersome to make, the first piece is for you to try, if you want to taste the raw materials slowly and want the second piece, but it costs silver! ”

Qian Lan raised her lips and smiled, looking determined to win.
