Chapter 374: Huaxi leaves
Although he was busy investigating the case, Hua Qingyan did not let go of the wine shop and the dim sum shop, and today Qi Yu also sent Guanlanju's profit this month, and also said that many people recently wanted to invite Guanlanju to the mansion for a banquet, and they also asked that it could not be the same as other people's mansions. This stumped the shopkeeper Qi.
If you don't take this job, won't you push off the business and smash your own signboard? But even if it is the new dishes launched by Guanlanju in the past six months or so, it is impossible to make up so many banquets.
Shopkeeper Qi had no choice but to come to Hua Qingyan for help.
Hua Qingyan thinks it's nothing, isn't it just to give more recipes. Anyway, Guanlanju is also her own business, and she doesn't plan to hide it. After finding a free time, he went to the space to find some festive dishes, copied a thick book of recipes and handed it to Qi Yu.
"This ......" Qi Yu originally thought that Hua Qingyan would only give herself a list of at most a dozen dishes, but looking at the thick pages of the book in his hand, Qi Yu's mind was still a little unable to turn, "Miss Qingyan, will this be too much?" ”
Hua Qingyan sneered, "It's the first time I've heard that the restaurant owner will dislike too many new recipes." Take it back, I'm busy these days, and I don't have time to teach new dishes to Guanlanju, so this recipe is a new dish to be launched by Guanlanju for a long time to come, you have to ask the chefs to learn by heart, and after a while, I will find the time to go to the acceptance, if they don't do well, I will fire them! ”
Qi Yu knew that Hua Qingyan was busy, and he was busy investigating the case with their owner. After hearing about Hua Qingyan's life experience, they were also embarrassed. Not to mention whether Hua Qingyan's father is the former generalissimo, he is still the nephew of the empress dowager, this is a relative of the emperor, and their two owners have such a big background, and they are also honored!
Qi Yu held the recipe and waited for Hua Qingyan to finish the account before leaving, thinking about the prospect of Guanlanju in his mind, it was really in full swing! When the time comes, they can be called the first restaurant in Daqi!
When the carriage passed by Zhou's house, Qi Yu deliberately lifted the curtain to take a look, and happened to see Zhou Xiaoyan coming out of the yard with a wooden basin, obviously going to the river to wash clothes.
In fact, there is a well in the courtyard of the Zhou family, and Zhou Xiaoyan's laundry clothes are also washed in the yard on weekdays, but today I suddenly wanted to go to the river on a whim today. As soon as I went out, I saw a carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard.
It is not uncommon for carriages to be in the backing mountain village, and even Qi Yu is not uncommon in the backing mountain village.
"Qi Gongzi." Zhou Xiaoyan greeted with a slight smile.
I don't know if he was dazzled by Zhou Xiaoyan's smile or something else, Qi Yu was actually in a trance, but he felt that the smile in front of him was exceptionally bright and beautiful, which made him want to be closer. When Qi Yu came back to his senses, he found that he had jumped out of the carriage.
"Miss Zhou is going to do the laundry?" After asking, Qi Yu felt that he was a little redundant, didn't he ask knowingly?
But Zhou Xiaoyan didn't feel anything, and said with a smile: "Help the family do something, they are busy and be free."
Qi Yu saw Hu Baizhi running after the chicken in the yard through the open courtyard door, "Isn't Miss Hu also idle, why don't you ask her to wash?" ”
"Angelica daze?" Zhou Xiaoyan looked back and smiled even more happily, "The chicks at home have just hatched, Bai Zhike cares about them, and is thinking of a way to get them to eat and say that she wants to raise the chicks fat and strong, how can I bear to disturb her Yaxing." Besides, Bai Zhi is a bride, where is the reason for her to live all day long. ”
In fact, after Qi Yu asked, he regretted a little, how could he be an outsider who was qualified to manage other girls' family affairs. I just wanted to change the topic, but when I heard Zhou Xiaoyan's answer, I felt quite uncomfortable, and I couldn't say why, but I just felt uncomfortable.
Qi Yu felt that he might embarrass both of them if he stayed any longer, so he said: "Then I won't bother Miss Zhou, the girl should be careful when she goes to the river, it has rained a lot recently, and the river is a little turbulent."
"Thank you Gongzi Qi for your concern, Xiaoyan will pay attention to safety."
The two waved goodbye, and it wasn't until the carriage drove away from the door of Zhou's house that Hu Baizhi jumped out of the courtyard and put her arms around Zhou Xiaoyan's neck, "Tell me honestly, what's going on with you and that Qi Gongzi!" ”
"What's going on?" Zhou Xiaoyan patted her arm.
"I've seen it all, that Qi Gongzi's carriage keeps stopping at the door of our house in other places, so it can't be said to be passing by. And it just so happened that you came out again, what did you talk about for so long at the door? I don't believe that the son of Qi has no purpose! He can't ask his father-in-law or mother-in-law, and of course it can't be for me! We still have an unmarried girl like you in our family! There must be something wrong with this! ”
Hu Baizhi was a little incoherent, and even she didn't know what she was talking about, but that didn't stop her from expressing the idea that Qi Yu had a problem!
Zhou Xiaoyan took Hu Baizhi's hand and arm down and rolled her eyes: "My Qi Gongzi just said a few words, why are you so careful." ”
Hu Baizhi rolled her eyes: "How can you not be careful, you don't know this mountain village, there are a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, if some people see it, it will be okay, I have to kill you." ”
Zhou Xiaoyan looked around and snorted coldly: "I stood at my door and said a few words to others in this public, and I didn't sneak around, and I didn't do anything unseemly, so what else is there to be afraid of." The mouth grows on others, and they want to say that even if they are innocent, they can make them say that they deserve to be dead, isn't Knowles a lesson from the past! ”
Zhou Xiaoyan didn't pay attention to Hu Baizhi anymore after speaking, and went to wash clothes with a wooden basin. Hu Baizhi glared at the neighbors who poked their heads out around her, and muttered in a low voice: "I think that Qi Yu definitely likes Xiaoyan." ”
"Say what? Who likes Xiao Yan? Zhou Rong's voice sounded behind her, and she reached out and took Hu Baizhi into her arms. He took Hu Baizhi into the courtyard and closed half of the courtyard door, "Qi Yu came just now?" You said Qi Yu likes sister-in-law? ”
Hu Baizhi told her what she had just seen Qi Yu talking to Zhou Xiaoyan at the door, and she was very sure of her guess. Zhou Rong smiled but didn't think there was anything wrong, Qi Yu also knew the roots, and he was a person from the town, although he was born rich and rich, he didn't have the stinky problems that those rich young masters have, if he had a heart for Zhou Xiaoyan, and Zhou Xiaoyan was interested in him, it would indeed be a good marriage.
Zhou Rong patted Hu Baizhi's head and said, "Don't talk to your father and mother about this, let's talk about it when I get confirmed." ”
"Do you think Qi Yu and Xiao Yan can really do it?"
"Why not?" Zhou Rong lowered his eyes to look at her, "Do you think that my sister-in-law is not worthy of Qi Yu?" ”
"No!" Hu Baizhi shook her head, "It's because Qi Yu is not worthy of Xiao Yan, how good our Xiao Yan is!" Up the hall and down to the kitchen, it's more beautiful than I might do. Qi Yu was able to marry Xiao Yan, and that was the blessing he had cultivated in eight lifetimes! ”
"It's also a blessing that I can marry you."
In the past, Zhou Rong would not say such things, but since he got married, he seems to have opened his mind, and love words and good words seem to come without thinking about it, which often makes Hu Baizhi's face red. No, hearing Zhou Rong say this, Hu Baizhi's face instantly turned red like a ripe red pepper, but it was beautiful.
Hua Panpan felt that her daughter was a little strange today, and she was not lying in the house, she was busy in the yard and did not say anything, and looked up at the sky and the hour from time to time, and the whole person was even more in a trance.
And it was rare for Hua Shanmin not to go out today, just sitting in the hall, staring at Huaxi with those eyes, it was simply where Huaxi went, his eyes followed him, not to mention that he was full of malice!
At the end of this day, Hua Panpan was a little uneasy, and always felt that something was going to happen, and it was related to Huaxi! Hua Panpan guarded against Hua Shanmin all the time, and even wanted to share a room with Hua Xi at night. But before she could follow up, Huaxi closed the door and even locked it, refusing to open the door no matter how much Hua Panpan patted it.
Hua Panpan had no choice but to go back to her room and sleep.
Huaxi didn't light a candle, she sat at the window with her little burden and watched the night, and after a while she was leaving, leaving this place that broke her heart, and she didn't know if there would be a chance to come back in the future. Huaxi felt that she should not come back, the old flower family was not the original old flower family, and she was not the original Huaxi anymore, and there was no need to come back this sad place.
There was still a quarter of an hour left before Hua Xi unlocked the door and walked out of the room, and in the silence of the courtyard, the snoring sound could still be heard from Hua Shanmin's room. No matter how careful Rao is Huaxi's movements are, some noises will inevitably occur, but it is obvious that none of the old Hua family members who have slept to death have woken up.
Huaxi walked out of the yard smoothly, and as soon as he walked to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, he saw an inconspicuous carriage slowly coming from the north of the village. The carriage stopped beside Hua Xi, Yu Jiamin jumped down from the carriage, and Hua Qingyan was behind her. Hua Qingyan didn't talk nonsense with Huaxi, and directly let her get into the carriage, and then said: "This carriage will send you out of Chaoyang Town, as for how you go on your road after that, you have to rely on yourself." ”
"Thank you, Hua Qingyan." This is the first time Huaxi has thanked Hua Qingyan, and when this sentence was spoken, Huaxi felt that her whole person was a lot more relaxed.
"That's all I can help you, you don't have to say thank you." Hua Qingyan waved her hand, "Have you thought about how you will live in the future?" Where to go? ”
"I don't know." Huaxi was a little confused, she really didn't think about it, when she learned that Hua Qi and Hua Shanmin were going to sell her into the Qinglou, Huaxi thought about running away, but she didn't think about where she was going.
Hua Qingyan looked at her expression and didn't ask again, but said, "Think about it, it's just that I don't want to hear your name in the Qinglou in the future." ”
"I understand." Huaxi nodded.
The two didn't speak again, Hua Qingyan nodded at the coachman, and with a wave of the horsewhip, the carriage ran up, carrying Huaxi to the unknown future.
