He sat there, eating tea with his face slightly sideways, and a wisp of sinuous incense, or a small curtain under the oblique moon, could give birth to a bit of paradise.

The seventh master of the Gu family has this ability, and the tension will make people see him as being the same dust as the light.

No matter how long it takes, it is inevitable that I will occasionally mutter.

Cheng Shi'an tentatively: "You are too thoughtful, and you just went south for more than ten days alone, so much emotion, and you shouldn't have seen it?" ”

"I was confined to my study for 16 days, and I am only alive today." Gu Tingwen held the teacup and smiled, "You say so, is there any movement in the south?" ”

"You've been home?"

Gu Tingwen nodded.

The amount of medicine in the diet was strong and long, and his body was no longer able to do it, so he coughed lightly twice and began to feel dizzy and flustered and short of breath.

"Uncle Gu said that you went to Guangzhou secretly, I thought you attended Mr. Sun's inauguration ceremony on the fifth day, how did you ......" Cheng Shi'an's mind flipped back and forth a few times, "It's so far?" ”

"Naturally, it's to make me bow down." He still smiled, "Just listen to my father's words, but now I can't believe it." ”

"I'm sorry, my uncle and my father took this engagement too seriously."

Gu Tingwen shook his head: "You don't need to tell me, Hui Yu and I are both sacrifices, the cabinet will be reshuffled tomorrow evening, my father will strike first, and Uncle Cheng Shi is just a forced coercion." ”

Cabinet?

Such a confidential thing......

Cheng Shi'an looked at him in astonishment: "Why are you ......?"

Gu Tingwen lowered his head, the lanterns in the courtyard swept over and left a floating light, his face was bright and dark for a moment, and the makeup that had been removed was painted again, and he was smiling and smiling.

"Do you really think that I have escaped death every time over the years because of my father?" He slipped his cup and watched the tea roll up in the stormy waves, "He is the one who has shot at me the most, and he has always spared no effort to strangle his henchmen." ”

The scars on his body, one on top of the other, he remembered clearly.

Cheng Shi'an shook his wrist and said solemnly: "I will help you with whatever you want to do tomorrow, but Hui Yu, I hope to make her decent." ”

Gu Tingwen patted his arm: "I will take care of everything, and Hui Yu will not be involved." ”

This was their last conversation last night.

As for how to help each other and what will happen today, Gu Tingwen has never mentioned it to him; In addition, he went to pick up Cheng Huiyu with the car this morning, and the two talked secretly for half an hour.

I don't know what happened after that, I only know that he has made up his mind to take care of things by himself, and Cheng Shi'an is worried.

Ren Yan was the only person he could think of who could find out the news.

Although she vigorously brushed Gu Tingwen's heels before, looking at the appearance of the master, it seems that she doesn't know about it, so it's good to take the opportunity to set her mouth, who knows that the girl won't be able to do it at all.

In fact, Ren Yan didn't understand what Cheng Shi'an planned at all.

In a good day, what do you say that the engagement is not successful, and you have to take her to meet people, the prospective groom can talk to other girls casually, isn't this a slap in the face of Cheng Huiyu, and the two families of Gu Cheng are not allowed to steam her into a snack?

Besides, if she meets the seventh master, she will be able to beat people out and move away without two sentences, and the idea of snatching marriage has been churning in her heart like a snowball for several days, in case one of them is not careful......

The more I think about it, the more unorthodox it becomes, so it's better not to see Gu Tingwen these days.

She made up her mind and picked up two buckets and ran into the back kitchen. added water to Master Zhu's pot and hung up the scoop, finished the work for others, and turned back to learn the craft with Xiao Tong.

The sifted noodles are divided into two batches, one is added with two taels of lard and three taels of warm water, kneaded into small gnocchi, and half a small spoon of warm water is added to knead into a smooth water-oil dough, and the shelving board is waiting for strength.

The other batch directly mixes the delicate cooked lard on top, pushes and rubs it on the board, rolls it into a white and pure puff pastry, and then kneades it into pairs of small dough with the water and oil dough.

The dough is wrapped in a small dough and kneaded into a round, and then the round skin is rolled out and rolled into a slender roll.

The long roll is flattened and rolled out, the long side is rolled up in half, and the rest is rolled into a thin layer and cut into two parts, and the left and right are stretched and pasted on both ends of the long roll, and then the circle is divided in half.

The embryo skin of the fan surface is pressed into a pair of new agents, and the side with the pattern is rolled down into a round skin, each wrapped with a bright red bean paste and a sweet osmanthus sugar filling into a flat and round dumpling shape, and the bulging dumpling belly is firmly glued to form a beautiful round box.

The side of the box has to be twisted out of the flowers to lock tightly, and the end of the dumpling belly bulges also makes the chopsticks dipped in rose water to point out a pair of eyes of the mandarin duck, and the oil in the pot is hot to fifty percent, and then put it in to fry.

Wait until the belly of the puff pastry box is completely swollen and round, and then take it out of the oil pan and put it on the plate, the wisps of fragrance slip out, and bite it down, it is crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside.

Tuosheng's Nanmu lacquer plate, the texture on the top has long been engraved with two lines of small characters with gold lacquer, "to become more than the eye how to die, only envy the mandarin duck not envy the fairy", with the red and yellow corresponding crisp box inside, complement each other's gold and jade relationship.

Ren Yan's eyes slipped, and he wanted to follow the people's plate to go outside; Senior Brother Yang laughed at her and lifted the blue cloth to wipe her saliva.

She disdained it, and let out a bold statement that what was there, if she promised someone in the future, she would also ask someone to make her a mandarin duck crisp box.

Senior Brother Yang shook his head at Xiao Tong: "Master, can you hear Senior Sister's ambition?" ”

Xiao Tong also smiled: "If Ren girl Ming'er can get married, I will personally come to the door for you." ”

Senior Brother Yang gained momentum, and even provoked her with words: "Hear clearly, for Master, I have to find a master tonight, and I will give it to others tomorrow, and I won't count it after an hour." ”

Ren Yan smacked him, and when he had made enough trouble, he was also depressed, and his heart was full of demons.

It's false to say that you don't envy, and it's false not to be jealous, she is a gentle girl, but there are always delicate places in her heart to hide her thoughts.

The man who likes it wants to get engaged to another girl, she comes here to make an engagement banquet for people, if she is smiling, there will be a ghost, either croton or sugar is replaced with salt, wilting is bad.

Now she strangled her hands, and she didn't move anything, hoping that people would go smoothly, so she was not very happy on her face.

Xiao Tong saw it, and his heart was like a mirror, so he didn't laugh anymore, so he called the big apprentice to go outside to take the peony mold.

The person walked halfway and came back, the expression on his face was quite frightened, and he whispered in front of Xiao Tong: "It is forbidden to enter and exit outside, and the people guarding the courtyard are not the first wave of people, there is a sound in their hands and waists, I am afraid that something important has happened." ”

Xiao Tong's eyes swept out, and he took it back again in a flash: "Don't ask, take care of the work under your nose." ”

"Yes."

He took two steps, and Xiao Tong called him back again: "Also, look at the girl Ren, she is not happy in her heart, I always feel that she can't hold back." ”

"Yes."

Senior Brother Yang turned his face, and Ren Yan was following behind Master Jiang, moving a large cage drawer to Master Zhu, unaware of the movement outside.

But in the middle of the night, no matter how wooden he was, he realized that something was wrong.

The person in charge has not come in to inspect for almost two hours, and there are many unknown people in the courtyard.

Later, someone came in, saying that it was the order of the Gu Mansion, and the fire on the stove was all extinguished, and the masters asked them to go to the east and west wings to rest, and if there was an order, please come in.

The words were extremely polite, but the requirements were unquestionable, and someone followed after the words, neatly stabbed out the fire and sealed the chest.

The steaming in the pot, the boiling in the water, the frying in the oil and the frying, all the eyes are blind, and the work of half a day is in vain.

People are saying polite words, and they are asked to invite again, but it is almost the second half of the day, and how can they prepare for the banquet in time, it is really about to change.

Du Liren is the leading master, and his anger is slightly uncontrollable, and he distinguishes two sentences from others, but he doesn't get an answer, so he first asks someone to twist his elbow and send him out.

Everyone saw that it was not going to happen, and they all lowered their heads and pretended to be dumb to save their lives.

The wing room is very spacious, all the products are complete, the food and drink are all settled, but they don't let the windows open or let each other talk to each other, and dozens of people are stuffy and lifeless inside.

Ren Yan sat in the rose chair in the corner, with a curtain in front of him, and he couldn't understand what was going on outside.

The sun to the west shone into the lattice window, and the shallow light gathered a small table on the Luohan couch, which did not come to her, and gave birth to the cold smell out of thin air.

She sat here doing nothing, and began to think about Cheng Shi'an's words.

If today's wedding banquet doesn't happen, can the parents of the Gu family let Gu Tingwen go? is almost away from being placed under house arrest in the courtyard, and the good food and drink are served, just to remove his backbone.

But now it doesn't look like this, and the sturdy men outside are all extraordinary.

When she was thinking about it, she suddenly remembered the person who attacked Gu Tingwen in Tofu Hutong, and the pitch black seemed to be like this.

That night, he said that he was the master of the Gu family.

What will it do?

The old man of the Gu family is in trouble again, and he has cleaned up his son?

Her heart pounded, and she stomped into her chair and ran out.

Before the curtain could be lifted, she stopped.

What's the use of breaking out in a hurry, is it to fight or can you fight? She can't even beat Wu Sihai, and she can beat these five big and three thick masters, and the person who turned back would give her a pestle with one finger!

Running out not only can't save people, but also adds a burden to people.

She fell back into her chair dejectedly.

The footsteps outside never stopped, coming and going in a flash, disturbing her upset, the more chaotic she became, the more worried she became, why not sneak out and take a look?

Sneaky, don't let people find out? I've seen it, and I'll sneak back again.

She got up from her chair again, stood on the Luohan bed, moved the porcelain bottles and glass bowls on the window edge to the small table one by one, and made room, and she pulled her hand to open the window a crack—

"Miss Ren, what's wrong?"

A swarthy face appeared outside, and her look was so serious and cold, she trembled in fright, holding the window fan and laughing: "It's too stuffy in the house, I'll open the window...... Breathable. ”

"Miss Ren, please go back!"

Click, as soon as the person raised his hand to give it, he deducted it for her.

Not counting the buckles, the guards at the bottom of the windows, the mountain-like backs were piled up there, and the bright house was dark in an instant.
