When Xu Qinghe arrived at Su Mansion, he met Su Jin, who had just come home from school, and the two entered the mansion together.

Su Jin was originally taught by Su Zhe himself, but after the New Year, Su Zhe's body became weaker and weaker, and he was unable to teach his son. So Su Jin was sent to the county school and went to school with the common students.

The county school in Meizhou City is next to the county government, and most of the students are the sons of the common people.

Su Fu is a well-known scholarly family in Meizhou City, although the heirs are now withering and there is no fame in the house, but Su Zhe's profound knowledge is obvious to everyone.

It was Su Jin who entered the county to study, which set off a wind of gossip and sighing.

Su Jin goes to and from school step by step every day, is unsmiling and taciturn, and has a very average relationship with the students in the county school.

Xu Qinghe looked at the silent and passive little cousin beside him, and said with concern: "Why isn't my cousin as lively as before?" But you were angry in the county school? ”

Su Jin shook his head and said in a low voice, "No." They treated me very well. ”

"Now that you have entered the county school, you have to study more diligently." Xu Qinghe encouraged, "Don't look down on the reputation of county studies, I heard that half of the talents in Meizhou City are learned from the county." ”

Su Jin nodded, he didn't have any prejudice against the county school in his heart. I was worried about other things, and it didn't help to tell my cousin. changed the subject and said, "I heard that my cousin's restaurant has a murder, will the restaurant be closed because of this?" ”

Xu Qinghe replied: "The county has already solved the case, and the relevant criminals have also been sentenced. I'm afraid the restaurant will be closed for a while. ”

"How does my cousin feel when she loses so much silver?" Su Jin said.

Xu Qinghe suddenly clutched his chest and said with a sad face: "Heartache!" ”

provoked Su Jin to laugh suddenly.

While the two were talking and laughing, they saw Su Jingshu coming over.

"What are you talking about so cheerfully? I heard Ah Jin's laughter from afar. Su Jingshu asked with a smile.

Su Jin stepped forward next to her sister and said with a smile: "My cousin has recently lost a sum of silver, and she is sad!" ”

Xu Qinghe also stepped forward, tugged at his cousin's sleeve and said, "Cousin, Ah Jin has learned to fall into the well now." He laughed so much when I threw away the money! ”

Su Jingshu was surrounded by the two, and she didn't know what was going on, so she gently comforted both sides.

She is a newlywed Yan'er, and she grinds with Li Bozhou's ears and temples every day, like glue. There's no time to listen to what's going on outside.

Xu Qinghe said: "The restaurant has had some troubles recently, and I will talk to you about it later." ”

Su Jingshu nodded, and the three of them went to the main hall for dinner intimately.

Li Bozhou saw his wife come in with his brother-in-law and cousin, and hurriedly took out the gift box and handed it to Xu Qinghe, and said with a smile: "A little heart, please smile at my cousin." ”

Xu Qinghe had no choice but to take it with his free hand, and thanked him with a smile.

took out another gift box and handed it to Su Jin, "Please smile, brother-in-law." Su Jin also took it with a smile.

Li Bozhou squeezed over and helped Su Jingshu sit down at the round table.

Su Zhe sat at the top, looked at a few juniors calmly and kindly, and when everyone was seated, he said, "Let's start the table!" ”

Xu Qinghe's favorite dish of Sufu was the most, so he immediately picked up a piece of white and tender fish, took a bite, tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "I can't find a second colorful crispy fish fillet in Meizhou City, it's as delicious as my uncle's house!" ”

Su Zhe smiled: "If you think it's delicious, eat more, and bring one back to your mother." Xu Qinghe hurriedly thanked him and continued to feast.

Li Bozhou looked at his cousin, and then at his wife, and felt that Jingshu's gentle and soft dining posture was more in line with everyone's beautiful appearance.

Su Jingshu took a sip of a spoonful of Baiwei soup, remembered something, put down the spoon, and said to Xu Qinghe: "Cousin, on the fifteenth day of next month, I want to go to Xifeng Temple to offer incense, is my cousin willing to go with me?" ”

Xifeng Temple is on Meishan Mountain, and incense has always been prosperous. However, it was not a winding mountain road that was built, but a staircase.

Xu Qinghe thought of the nearly three thousand stone steps, and replied without hesitation: "I'm not going." Let your brother-in-law accompany you. ”

Li Bozhou said with a smile: "I want to go with me." But a person as big as my cousin, wouldn't he be afraid of the thousand steps and not want to go? ”

Xu Qinghe immediately retorted: "How is it possible! I just don't ask for anything, so naturally I don't need to incense. Besides, you newlyweds go and ask for a child sign, pull me what to do. ”

Su Jingshu blushed with shame, she really went to ask the Buddha to bless her to have a child as soon as possible.

Su Zhe looked at his eldest niece and said with a smile: "Qinghe will go together!" Ask for a marriage to come back. ”

Li Bozhou was immediately happy, "Uncle Yue said very much. is unmarried at the age of his cousin, and he can't find a second one in Meizhou City. Maybe you can get married next year. ”

Xu Qinghe rolled his eyes and said, "I am still a talented person at my brother-in-law's age, and I can't find a second one in Meizhou City." ”

Su Jingshu hurriedly played a round and gently persuaded: "Cousin, go with me." It's been a long time since we've traveled together. ”

Su Jin looked at her brother-in-law, then at her cousin, sighed, and continued to eat.

Xu Qinghe had no choice but to respond: "Okay! For the sake of the delicacies of this table, I will go with you. ”

Su Zhe and the others all laughed after hearing this.

By the time Xu Qinghe returned to Xu's mansion, it was already in the middle of the moon.

Mrs. Xu waited in her room as usual, watching her daughter return by moonlight, before she was relieved.

Xu Qinghe took the food box that Xu Yao was carrying, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is the colorful crispy fish fillet that my uncle asked me to bring you, and it is still hot." Would you like to taste it? ”

Xu Yao took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, neatly filled a small bowl, and put it in front of Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu tasted it with a smile and said, "It's still a familiar delicacy." ”

Xu Qinghe sat next to him and praised: "Uncle's food is really boring. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled: "Do you remember when you were a child, crying and shouting for a bite of pig's trotters and not wanting to go home? ”

"How can there be such a thing! Mother may have misremembered. Xu Qinghe looked at his mother with a smile on his face, and simply denied it.

Mrs. Xu didn't bother to expose her, and asked, "Nanjia Restaurant is really going to close?" That's a little bit of your father's effort. ”

Xu Qinghe replied: "The chef of the restaurant has committed a murder, and he will not be able to find a suitable chef for a while, so he can only suspend business for a while. ”

Mrs. Xu sighed and recalled sadly: "When I married into the Xu Mansion, my brother was afraid that I would not be used to the Xu family's food, so he discussed with Su Bo, who was in charge of the back kitchen of the Su Mansion, and sent his nephew Su Ping to the Xu Mansion to prepare meals for me. Later, the husband saw that Su Ping's cooking skills were good, so he asked him to go to Nanjia Restaurant to be the chef in charge. ”

Xu Qinghe didn't know that there was such a relationship, she always thought that Master Su was just a cook hired by her father.

"I didn't expect that Master Su was killed because of Xu Fu today. O iniquity! Mrs. Xu said guiltily.

Xu Qinghe hurriedly said: "Mother must not blame herself, it is her daughter's poor management and failure to discover the bad behavior of the shopkeeper Wang and others as soon as possible." It's not about the mother. ”

"You send someone to visit Su Ping's widow with a generous gift, and take good care of her in the future." Mrs. Xu said.

Xu Qinghe replied: "I have already asked Uncle Xu to go with a heavy gift, and my mother should not blame herself anymore." ”
