Chapter 58
Wang Biao left, and Xie Luoying was still panting with a wooden basin.
Her fingers trembled slightly, apparently frightened.
Chu Cheng stepped forward and asked softly, "Miss Xie, are you okay?" ”
Xie Luoying came back to her senses, hurriedly put down the wooden basin, and looked at Chu Cheng a little embarrassed: "I'm fine, but let Mrs. watch a joke." ”
"How can it be a joke?" Chu Cheng waved her hand, "Then what does Wang Biao do?" He is a man who is five big and three rough, and he even slandered Tongtong as a little girl. ”
Xie Luoying sighed and invited Chu Cheng to sit in the backyard of the grocery store.
She brought hot tea, handed it to Chu Hui, and said: "Wang Biao is the person my mother once gave me to meet, and I saw that he was misbehaving, so I didn't agree. But Wang Biao knew that my family ran a grocery store, so he came to harass me every once in a while. I turned him down every time, and I didn't even give him a good face, but he still had to make inches...... This time it was even more excessive, and he even slandered my sister for stealing silver. Speaking of this, Xie Luoying frowned, "The next time he comes, I will definitely break his leg with a broom!" ”
Chu Cheng nodded: "Countering violence with violence is a method, otherwise dealing with such a scoundrel, speaking well will not work at all." ”
Xie Luoying didn't expect Chu Cheng to support her, she thought that Chu Cheng, as a county lady, should be knowledgeable and disciplined.
"Ma'am, do you think my approach is very ......"
"Very good." Chu Cheng smiled at her, "Next time you can't beat it, I'll help you fight!" If it doesn't work, report to the official and let the yamen arrest him! ”
Xie Luoying couldn't help laughing and nodded in agreement.
After this incident, the two became even more familiar, and they called each other affectionately.
Knowing that Chu Cheng was here to buy honey, Xie Luoying hurriedly took out two cans to give away, and Chu Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't, you have a small business, how dare I ask for it." If my husband knows, he may say that I have come to collect the people's fat and people's ointment, and he will definitely drench the blood of the dog I scolded when he turns back. ”
Chu Cheng didn't tell a lie, in case Lin Boqin knew that she was taking other people's things for nothing, he would definitely lecture her.
She didn't want to hear him Rory's ramblings.
Xie Luoying had no choice but to accept the silver.
Seeing that the money bag in Chu Cheng's hand was a man's style, he smiled and said, "Lord Lin is so good to Madame, I will hand over the money bag to you directly." ”
Chu Cheng glanced at the money bag in her hand, inexplicably, and her heart was slightly hot.
Xie Luoying packed two jars of honey, handed them to Chu Cheng and asked, "What does Madam want so much honey for?" Is it to make preserves or what? ”
Chu Cheng smiled: "I have nothing to do at home, so I want to make some pastries to eat, and I only learned the osmanthus cake I made last time." Isn't honey used for cloud cakes? I didn't know how to do it, so I bought more and went back to try it, and I could always try a good taste. ”
Xie Tongtong, who was on the side, heard this, and hurriedly said: "Madam, my sister can make pastries, she can teach you!" ”
Chu Hui's eyes lit up: "Really? ”
Xie Tongtong nodded: "Of course, our Qingyuan County is the most famous for its various pastries, and basically every household has one who can make pastries." It's just that my sister does the best, we don't do it at home, and other families will invite her to go! ”
Chu Cheng looked at Xie Luoying and said busily: "Luoying, then you can teach me!" ”
Xie Luoying was a little embarrassed, but thinking of Chu Cheng's open-minded personality, she responded happily.
When it comes to pastries, Chu Cheng can't help but think of the past, and said: "I first got married and met a good friend named Wen Lanxin, and the pastries she made were also very delicious. Xie Luoying didn't know about this, she asked, "Then is she moving away now?" ”
Chu Cheng sighed with emotion and said, "It's considered to have moved away, moved to a happy place." ”
No worries, no pain.
I hope that everything is fine under her nine springs.
The two talked all the way and came to the door of Lin Mansion. Xie Tongtong's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to a woman at the door: "Madam, you have a visitor." ”
Chu Cheng looked at it, but she didn't expect it to be Ye Fangxuan, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Why is my cousin here?"
She walked up the stairs and smiled at Ye Fangxuan.
Ye Fangxuan didn't wait for Lin Boqin, but when she arrived, her face suddenly turned dark, and she didn't even bother to pretend: "What about my cousin?" I want to see him. ”
"He's not at home."
Chu Cheng told the truth this time.
Ye Fangxuan obviously didn't believe it, and stomped her feet: "You lied to me!" Every time I come he is not at home, are you so easy to deceive me? ”
Chu Cheng didn't want to leave Xie Luoying and Xie Tongtong out of the door, so she only said: "Believe it or not, I still have something to do, just wait here if you want to." She motioned for Sister Xie Luoying to enter the mansion, and glanced at Ye Fangxuan again by the way, "What is your cousin's attitude, you still don't know?" If I were you, I would have no face to show up a long time ago. ”
After saying that, the door closed with a "bang".
Seeing this, Xie Luoying was a little restrained, not knowing whether to ask or not.
Before she could speak, Chu Cheng took the initiative to tell her: "The one at the door is my husband's cousin, and I have been thinking about him for many years." But my husband likes me, he is not interested in her, and he doesn't want to marry her and be a child......"
The two walked to the kitchen while talking, Xie Luoying didn't understand Ye Fangxuan's behavior, and asked, "It looks like a good girl, I didn't expect to be so brazen." ”
"Who knows what to think."
Mao Bixi bought back the glutinous rice, and Xie Luoying began to teach them. She taught carefully, Chu Cheng was smart, and she learned it in a while, and made a lot of cloud cakes, some with sesame seeds, some with peanuts, everything was delicious.
made a lot, Chu Cheng asked Xi Du to bring the box and put it back for Xie Tongtong to eat, but Xie Luoying couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
Chu Cheng packed another box and asked them to bring it to Su Yu by the way, and Xie Tongtong took it happily.
Sending the two away, there are still a lot left, Chu Cheng can't eat alone, and when she was worried, she heard Mao Bi say: "Madame, it's better to take some to the yamen and give them to the adults." ”
Chu Cheng sighed: "He doesn't eat sweet. ”
Since the last time he knocked down the glutinous rice cakes he had worked so hard to buy, Chu Cheng didn't want to give him half of the food he loved.
Xi Dusk remembered and hurriedly took out two plates: "These two plates of honey are very small, and they don't have any sweetness. ”
Mao Bi also said: "Miss Xie's cloud cake recipe is very special, and the cloud cake she makes tastes very good, maybe adults will like it?" ”
In fact, the two girls saw that Chu Cheng had little intersection with Lin Boqin these days, and deliberately created opportunities.
Chu Cheng saw through it and nodded: "Okay then." ”
She carried a box of hot cloud cakes and walked towards the county office.
By this time, it was already dark, and everything was silent.
Passing by an alley, a wild dog with leprosy suddenly came out, startling Chu Cheng. Thinking of the so-called lung-eating dog rumors, she couldn't help but blame herself for being suspicious.
Lin Boqin was discussing with Gu Jing in the third hall.
"This conscription is written down for a month, and those who are willing to join the army must go to the Wangzhou Mansion to sign up." Gu Jingtong showed him the paperwork, "Our county government only needs to record the roster and ask someone to take it to the government office for verification." ”
Lin Boqin glanced at it and nodded: "This time it's easy." ”
Gu Jingtong laughed and put away the paperwork: "The government is busy." But the busier he is, the more famous he will be when he comes to the end of the year. Everyone understands this, but some people don't care. ”
Lin Boqin shook his head and smiled, not caring about what he meant.
At this moment, Yang La knocked on the door at the door: "My lord, Madame is here." ”
Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this, and before he could answer, he heard the sound of footsteps and ran over, Chu Ji pushed open the door and walked in with his skirt.
She glanced at the two people in the room, put the lacquer box on the bookcase, and pouted: "Eat." ”
The sweet fragrance had already wafted out of the box, and Lin Boqin frowned: "What is this?" ”
"Cloud slice cake, I made it myself." Chu Cheng added, "I've been doing it all afternoon, and it's still hot." ”
Lin Boqin didn't make a move, but Gu Jingtong hurriedly opened the lid and sniffed: "It looks good." As he spoke, he picked it up and ate it himself.
Chu Cheng looked at Lin Boqin's expression and knew that he was not interested in these pastries, so she asked Gu Jingtong, "How does it taste?" ”
Gu Jingtong gave her a thumbs up while eating: "I can't see that you are stupid and stupid, and the things you make are quite delicious." The corners of Chu Hui's forehead twitched: "Can you die if you talk well?" ”
"There are so many, I can't finish eating alone......" Gu Jingtong looked out of the door, hurriedly went out and shouted, and called Yang La and them all over to eat together. Chu Cheng asked one by one how it tasted, and they all praised her, and she was suddenly happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "I'll make more in the future, and I'll bring it to you at any time to taste." ”
Hu Yu nodded while eating: "Thank you, madam!" ”
Lin Boqin's face was gloomy, as if a layer of cold frost had condensed.
When Chu Cheng saw his expression, she suddenly secretly said that it was going to be bad, this guy was starting to be unhappy again!
She cautiously stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve: "What's wrong?" Did it bother you? When they're done, I'll leave right away! ”
Lin Boqin didn't say a word.
Chu Cheng said again: "I know, do you think I brought sweets to them to eat, which affected you?" Next time, I'll sneak it over and promise not to let you find out! ”
Lin Boqin finally couldn't hold back, he glanced at her, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak. Do you want him to say that he hasn't tasted any of the cloud cake she brought him and is not happy in his heart? There are so many people, I'm afraid that everyone will laugh at him if he says it.
So Lin Boqin continued to have a cold face.
Chu Cheng looked at his side face and sighed.
I don't know who is used to this temper.
Yang La and the others divided up the cloud cake brought by Chu Cheng after a while, Chu Cheng packed up the box and was about to leave, but when he saw Yang La and Hu Yu going and returning, he hurriedly ran over.
Chu Cheng was puzzled: "Are you being picked up by ghosts?" ”
The two of them looked horrified, and only shouted: "It's not a good thing! Big things are not good! ”
Gu Jingtong and Lin Boqin sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked out of the door and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hu Yu panted like a cow, covering his heart with a face full of horror, and even his voice was trembling: "Lung-eating dog...... Pneumophoresa eats people! ”
