Chapter 148: Spiced Cake

Second Master Shen is busy on the throne, of course he can't find it. Shen Yiyi said to the shopkeeper: "The second master is at home now, you can take Hu Shizi to find it at home." ”

After she finished speaking, she said to Hu Shu: "Hu Shizi, you go and have a look first, if you still can't buy preserved plum blossoms, you can go back to the capital to find me, and I will help you find a way." ”

It turned out that she was going back to the capital, she knew that this was the case, why did he come to Wuchang Mansion? A trace of remorse flashed in Hu Shu's heart, and he nodded slightly at Shen Yiyi: "Okay." ”

Shen Yi was blessed, turned around and boarded the carriage.

The coachman raised his whip, and the carriage passed the bustling shops on the street and made its way out of the city gates.

Wang Qing's voice sounded outside the car again: "Miss Shen, it seems to be Cai Gongzi in front!" ”

Cai Li? Shen Yiyi pushed the window and looked out. Cai Li doesn't have a mother like the Duchess of Jinguo, so she doesn't have so many scruples when dealing with him.

Next to the official road, there was a rather handsome horse grazing with his head bowed, and next to the horse, stood the sturdy Cai Li.

"Cai Gongzi!" Shen Yiyi shouted at him.

Cai Li suddenly raised his head and ran towards her.

Shen Yiyi hurriedly ordered the coachman to stop the car.

Cai Li ran to the car window and asked, "Did you use the amulet I gave you?" ”

"It's useless." Shen Yiyi asked Little Pepper to bring the wooden box and gave it back to him.

Cai Li took the box and said, "Since it's useless, there must be nothing." ”

"I'm fine, but my dad ...... He is still unconscious. Speaking of Master Shen, Shen Yiyi couldn't help but look gloomy.

"Is your dad unconscious? What's going on? Cai Li hurriedly asked.

Shen Yiyi concisely told the events of that day.

"Steady pulse, smooth breathing, but never waking up?" Cai Li repeated Master Shen's symptoms and said, "I'll go back and ask Liu Yidao, maybe he has a way." ”

"Okay, thank you so much." Shen Yiyi felt that Master Shen's symptoms were that he was in a vegetative state, and there was little hope for the modern era, let alone the Great Liang Dynasty. But since Cai Li is interested in helping, it's good to try.

Cai Li looked at her carriage and asked, "Where are you going?" ”..

"Go back to the capital." After Shen Yiyi finished answering, he asked him again, "What about you?" Is this going to Wuchang Mansion? ”

"I was going to go to Wuchang Mansion to find you, but now that I met me halfway, I will go back to the capital." Cai Li said.

Looking for her on purpose? Shen Yiyi looked at the wooden box in his hand: "You came to retrieve the talisman on purpose?" ”

"Yes." Cai Li said, whistled, and called the horse over, "Since we met, let's go together." ”

Shen Yiyi knocked on the wall of the car, ordered the driver to continue walking, and asked Cai Lidao: "Are you going to marry?" ”

"Nope! Don't talk nonsense! Cai Li turned over and got on his horse, and the tone of his speech was more crisp and decisive than his movements.

"If you don't want to get married, you will travel thousands of miles to Wuchang Mansion just to get back the letter of marriage?" Shen Yiyi said, pointing to the wooden box he stuffed into the blanket, "And you haven't brought an entourage yet, you sneaked out again, right?" ”

The amulet contained in the wooden box was the letter of request written by the hussar general.

"I ...... I want to ask you......" Cai Li glanced at Shen Yiyi, "Forget it, let's talk about it later, maybe my mother just forgot it on a whim." ”

What is the mystery of God? Shen Yiyi glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "What pastries does your mother like to eat?" ”

What the? Pastry? This topic changed a little quickly, Cai Li was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "My mother's favorite is spiced cake, what's wrong?" ”

Five-spice cake, okay, she'll do it. Shen Yiyi asked again: "What about you?" ”

"Me? I eat everything, I don't have any special preferences, otherwise I will be beaten by my mother. Cai Li threw down his horsewhip.

So miserable? There is a mother with a super high force value and a horsewhip anytime and anywhere, and her life must be very "hard", right? Shen Yiyi couldn't help but snicker.

After saying this for a while, her mouth was a little thirsty, Shen Yiyi poured herself a cup of tea, took out a plum candy from the small drawer, and threw it to Cai Li: "Then, quench your thirst." ”

Cai Li took out a free hand to catch the candy, looked down for a while, and raised his hand to stuff it into his mouth.

Shen Yiyi saw that he was hesitant, and hurriedly asked, "Do you not like sugar?" ”

"It's okay." Cai Limo rubbed the sugar in his hand, and his voice was a little low, "I used to eat whatever she liked to eat, and I got used to it." ”

Shen Yiyi poked her head out and glared at him: "What is this called, I'm not her!" ”

After glaring at Cai Li, she retracted into the carriage, took out a big orange from the wooden box, peeled it, broke off a petal, and threw it to him in the air: "Eat it with the orange, that's a good thing." ”

Cai Li caught the orange and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet juice and the fragrance of oranges immediately filled his mouth.

"Yes, you're not her." Cai Li whispered to himself.

Shen Yi leaned in front of the car window, broke the orange, ate a petal for himself, and threw one to Cai Li: "Cai Li, if you want to get married, I will be happy for you, which means that you have really come out." But don't keep mentioning her in front of your future wife, otherwise it will be too unfair to your wife. ”

"Okay, I'll never mention it again." Cai Li nodded seriously.

The two traveled together, but it didn't take long for Shen Yiyi to drive Cai Li away. He sneaked out, and if he delayed his return home because of the speed of the carriage, he was afraid that he would be beaten.

A few days later, the carriage arrived in the capital.

Entering from the Dailou Gate, the capital is still prosperous, the shops on the side of the road are full of customers, and the pedestrians on the street are bustling. But people's state of mind, as if it is different from yesterday, perhaps instinctively rejecting the life of "Shen Yiyi", is also an escape, now she accepts calmly, although the road ahead is full of thorns and mud, but the heart is a lot.

The carriage passed through the lively streets and stopped in front of the Victory Building.

According to her instructions when she left Beijing, the restaurant is being renovated, and the progress is very fast, and it will be completed soon.

Shen Yiyi got out of the carriage, inspected inside and out, and returned to his residence.

According to the news from Wuchang Mansion, Mrs. Shen San has received the letter, and her own little thirteen has also received a considerable amount of compensation, and she can receive money every month, so when she saw Shen Yiyi coming back, she was extremely enthusiastic and helped clean up the house.

But Shen Yi treated her lightly: "Third aunt, don't worry, there have been too many things recently, I can't be busy, and when I finish paying off my debts, I will have to collect debts." ”

Debt collection? Mrs. Shen thought about it carefully and decided that she didn't owe Shen Yiyi any money, so she threw the matter away.

Shen Yiyi rested for a day, and the next day went to the pharmacy in person, bought some medicinal herbs and came back, and cooked five-spice cakes.

Little Pepper came to help, and while looking through the things she bought, she was surprised: "Seeds? Ginseng? Atractylodes? Tuckahoe? Miss, do you want to make dim sum or decoction? ”

"Medicine and food are not separated, this is considered medicinal food." Shen Yiyi quickly put on her neck and tied an apron, "It seems that the general's wife doesn't have a good spleen and stomach." ”

"Medicinal diet?" Little Pepperfox looked at her suspiciously, "Miss, when did you understand pharmacology?" ”

Everyone is so familiar, Shen Yiyi lied, and didn't even play the draft: "Self-taught, do you admire me?" ”

Little Pepper really only rolled her eyes, and didn't bother to ask anything.

This girl, even rolling her eyes, learned from her, Shen Yiyi handed her the bowl and said, "Don't be idle, grind these medicinal materials finely, and then sift them again." ”

I have to upgrade the juicer to make a blender, so that it is more convenient to grind the dry powder.

Little Pepper took the bowl and went to pound the herbs, and asked, "Miss, why do you want to make five-spice cake for the general's wife?" ”
