Chapter 162: Dowry (1)

"This prince said, Hualuo, do you still like Jin'er now?"

Hua Luo looked at Lan Ci's immature face and thought to herself, obviously she was still a child, but she wanted to ask about the topic between adults.

"You don't like it anymore?" Lan Ci saw that Hua Luo didn't speak, so he said.

"I've always regarded the little king as a friend."

When the words fell, Hua Luo saw a few traces of disappointment flash in Lan Ci's eyes, Hua Luo didn't understand why Lan Jin was like this, before Lan Ci was obviously very opposed to her dealings with Lan Jin, and now seeing him like this seems to have changed his mind.

Lan Ci pursed his lips: "Alas, you are so ruthless as a woman, how can you trample on Jin'er's sincerity like this!" I'm telling you, I've never seen Jin'er so crazy because of you.

Hua Luo, as a folk girl, you should be grateful to Dai De, why don't you like Jin'er? ”

Hua Luo listened to Lan Ci's chatter, speechless for a while.

"Your Highness Eleven, you are still young, and you don't understand feelings at all." Hua Luo said.

Lan Ci frowned: "Who said I didn't understand?" All I know is that as long as it's something I like, I'll get it! ”

Hua Luo: "......"

"By the way, I know you're not a thing, so I'm crying Jin'er!"

When Hua Luo heard this, he just wanted to point to Lan Ci and say, "You're not a thing!" "But if you are a prince, if you are really annoyed, then you can't eat it!

However, what made Hua Luo gratifying was that after she talked to Lan Ci for a while, Lan Ci's mood was much better, and she didn't give up on herself because she lost to Hua Luo.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, there is no trace of clouds in the blue sky, Hua Luo took a carriage to Shi Xiang Zhai, lifted the curtain and looked at Shi Xiang Zhai, there was still a long queue at the door of Shi Xiang Zhai as usual.

Hua Luo got out of the carriage and entered the food through the back door, Li Xinran saw Hua Luo coming, and his face was happy: "Girl, are you here?" ”

"Xinran, thank you for your hard work!" Hua Luo said.

"It's not hard!" Li Xinran said as he held the pastries to the customers.

Due to the hot weather, there are ice jams in the four corners of the store, so when she arrived at the store, Hua Luo felt cold and fluttering, and the whole person was also a lot more energetic.

So much so that the diners standing in line outside the door also felt a lot cooler, so this is why there is no one queuing in front of other pastry shops, and on such a hot day, there are still so many people queuing up at Shixiangzhai.

Although ice cubes were very expensive in ancient times, Hua Luo didn't blink his eyes, so he bought a lot of ice cubes to put in Shi Xiang Zhai, as Hua Luo expected, everyone knew that Shi Xiang Zhai was cool, so those who bought pastries did not buy pastries came.

However, there are still more people who buy pastries than those who don't buy pastries.

Hua Luo checked that all the pastries were fresh, and the style of the pastries also changed, all of which were improved by Hua Luo according to the modern pastry style, so the pastries of Shixiangzhai are unique.

There are also merchants who covet the business of Shi Xiang Zhai, and will imitate the pastries of Shi Xiang Zhai, although they have the same style and cheap price, but the taste is very different.

Everyone was busy for a long time, and the number of guests gradually decreased, Li Xinran hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Hua Luo and Xia Qinghe, what Hua Luo didn't notice was that Li Xinran handed Xia Qinghe an embroidered handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and Li Xinran still looked shy.

It's just that Xia Qinghe didn't notice Li Xinran's abnormality at all, but said "thank you" to Li Xinran, and then continued to get busy.

Li Xinran saw Hua Luo coming, and hurriedly walked to the side to greet the guests, Hua Luo didn't notice, but said to Xia Qinghe: "Qinghe, did I know how to settle accounts last time I taught you?" ”

Xia Qinghe nodded: "There will be some." ”

"That's good, practice diligently, practice makes perfect. I'll teach you some new calculations when the time comes. ”

When Xia Qinghe heard this, his eyes lit up: "Girl, I ......"

Hua Luo understood Xia Qinghe's impatience, but she couldn't teach him now.

"Qinghe, when you get off work, I'll teach you again! Now do business, don't be half-hearted. ”

When Xia Qinghe heard this, he nodded: "It's because I'm a little anxious." ”

After getting off work, Hua Luo closed the door of Shixiangzhai, and then asked Xia Qinghe to take the abacus to the other courtyard.

When he arrived at the other courtyard, Xia Qinghe asked Hua Luo to teach him a new algorithm, and Hua Luo took out a paper and pen to teach Xia Qinghe mental arithmetic, although this is to teach children, but Hua Luo feels that this method is also applicable to Xia Qinghe.

Hua Luo looked up at Xia Qinghe who was standing aside, Hua Luo pointed to a plate of benches and said, "Qinghe, sit down!" Today I will teach you how to do mental arithmetic. The so-called abacus mental arithmetic is abacus-style mental arithmetic. Mental arithmetic is an activity in which the result is derived from the calculation of numbers by thinking. It is a calculation made by using the bead algorithm as a cut in the brain. ”

After Hua Luo explained to Xia Qinghe what abacus is, Hua Luo began to formally teach Xia Qinghe abacus mental arithmetic, Xia Qinghe is a studious, and if he doesn't understand something, he asks Hua Luo until he understands.

I don't know how long it took, Li Xinran cooked the meal, and was about to call Hua Luo and Xia Qinghe to eat, but saw that Hua Luo was teaching Xia Qinghe to settle accounts, so Li Xinran didn't bother much.

"Ah Luo, Ah Luo, someone from Ye Mansion is here!" Lin Shuya hurriedly ran to Hua Luo's front and said breathlessly.

Lin Shuya, who has always been sven, suddenly looked like this, and it was the first time Hua Luo saw it, Hua Luo said with a smile: "Shuya, what is it that makes you like this...... Not a lady anymore? ”

"Ah Luo, the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion is here, saying that he has brought a dowry. Let's go! If it's too late, it's too late! Lin Shuya said as she pulled Hua Luo and left quickly.

"What? The housekeeper of the Ye Mansion? Did you bring a dowry? Ye Xuan, is he crazy? When Hua Luo heard Lin Shuya say this, her brows furrowed, and she sped up the speed under her feet, this Ye Xuan is so nonsense, doesn't Ye Shangshu know?

When Hua Luo came to the dormitory, he saw that the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion was about to leave, and Hua Luo hurriedly stopped him.

The housekeeper saluted Hua Luo very politely: "Girl......"

Hua Luo frowned, glanced at the housekeeper, then looked at the things brought by the housekeeper, and asked, "Are you the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion?" What did you bring? ”

"Yes, the eldest prince specially confessed, let the old slave personally hand over these things to the girl, and if the girl is not satisfied, just mention it to the old slave." The housekeeper was very respectful to Hua Luo.

Hua Luo frowned: "Housekeeper, you are an old man, the so-called order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker." I, Hualuo, also have parents, so what's the matter with you sending me this bride price? Or do you want to go to Jianzhou for fear of trouble? ”
