And Qi Ziyan's mind was on Mu Xiaochu in the carriage, so naturally he didn't find anything, and soon the carriage drove back to Murong Mansion.

At this time, Murong Feng was brightly lit, but after seeing that Mu Xiaochu had fallen asleep, everyone was cautious, for fear of waking Mu Xiaochu, but after several elders saw Qi Ziyan's expression, they all knew that it was done, and they all had a thick smile on their faces.

Soon, Qi Ziyan carried Mu Xiaochu back to the room.

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion on the other side.

"What do you say, they're back." The prince asked the secret guards below.

"Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes." The Dark Guard replied.

"Have you been discovered by them?" The prince asked in a calm tone.

But if you listen closely, you can hear the coldness in his voice.

The dark guard said respectfully: "Back to the prince's words, no. ”

"Very well, let's go down first." As he spoke, the prince leaned back on the chair beside him.

"Yes." The Dark Guard respectfully stepped back.

"It's finally back." The prince muttered to himself in the empty study, and he didn't know if he was saying that Qi Ziyan had finally returned, or that Mu Xiaochu had finally returned......

After a few days, after confirming that he was fine, Mu Xiaochu was finally able to come out for a walk.

After coming out naturally, the first place to come is to come to the pastry shop.

Today's pastry shop is different from the cold and deserted before, and it is not an exaggeration to use it at this time.

Because of the previous false slander, more and more people came here, and at first the people came with a tentative mentality, after all, the notoriety of the pastry shop is not a day or two.

But as time went by, more and more people came.

Because the pastries here taste better than other homes, and the prices are fair, and the most important thing is that ordinary people can buy one or two plates a month, so business is getting better and better.

But there is one thing that is not very good, that is, the aftertaste color cake, that is, the pastry shop opened by Mu Xiaochu, which is sold in limited quantities every day.

That is to say, if you come late, you won't have any pastries to buy, but the fastest thing to buy is the cheapest and the taste is not bad, as for the more expensive colorful pastries, ice skin cakes, etc., although the purchase is not very fast, but there is no late arrival.

So early in the morning, you can see ordinary people queuing up here.

Some people also protested that they bought too little of Juewei pastries every day and wanted her to buy more.

was rejected by Mu Xiaochu.

As for the reason?

Because selling delicious pastries itself is a loss of money!

Although its production cost is not as high as that of colorful pastries and snowy pastries, it is more than 20 yuan, and they only buy ten yuan a plate of exquisite pastries, and six or seven yuan a plate, so that those who can't afford to buy more expensive can occasionally eat two bites.

She's not a good person!

As for the funny red sleeves in the back, Mu Xiaochu and Qi Ziyan talked about it, as for what happened to the red sleeves in the end, it was not up to her.

But the strange thing is that I don't know who passed it on, saying that Qi Ziyan, who had just come to the capital, the previous Yan Shizi, and the current regent, had a handsome and extraordinary appearance, and his conduct was even better, and his official position was still high, and the matchmaker who came to the matchmaker was going to break the threshold of the regent palace.

Although they were only home for three short days......

No, it just so happened that they all knew the relationship between Mu Xiaochu and Qi Ziyan, so they thought about having a good relationship with Mu Xiaochu first, and then they would be a side concubine or something in the future.

Mu Xiaochu was annoyed, so he invited her to the banquet on the first day, invited her to swim in the lake on the second day, and invited her to go on a tour on the third day.

It seems that after she came out of the back of Murong Mansion, the whole world was friendly to her, and she had no choice but to hide in the pastry shop.

The pastry shop because of the previous grass matter, only Aunt Xu and Xiaodouzi in the kitchen did not invite anyone, and sold a limited amount every day, although the income is not very much, but the scarcity is expensive, and the freshness must be maintained.

Anyway, she's not bad for money, as for still opening a pastry shop, first, because she is nostalgic, and she is reluctant to leave behind the business for so long, and second, she makes a little money in her spare time, hehe-

"Sister Xiaochu, leave it to my Aunt Xu here, you go to the backyard to rest for a while." In the kitchen, looking at Mu Xiaochu, who was helping to make noodles, Xiaodouzi said.

"That's right, just like that, Xiaodouzi and I can finish it in a while, you rarely come once, and I'll let you taste the newly invented pastries of us and Xiaodouzi later, which are sure to be delicious." Aunt Xu boasted.

After hearing this, Mu Xiaochu stopped what he was doing and said, "Okay, then I'll wait to eat your newly invented pastry." ”

Mrs. Xu was happy, "Okay-you just see." ”

I have to admit that Aunt Xu and Xiaodouzi are indeed talented in making pastries, and they are also honest, which is very suitable for Mu Xiaochu's heart, so the salary has also risen, from three taels a month at the beginning to five taels a month now.

After Mu Xiaochu came out of the kitchen, she saw Lin De who had just come back, she stepped forward with crooked eyebrows and leaned over to him, "Uncle Lin De, you are finally back." ”

Lin De touched Mu Xiaochu's hair and said, "Uncle Lin De came back late, so Xiao Chu was wronged." ”

Mu Xiaochu immediately understood what Lin De was talking about, and shook his head, "Don't be wronged, you're here." ”

"I've heard about Xiaocao, it's Uncle Linde's mistake, and I won't do it again in the future."

"Uncle Lin De is not to blame for this, Uncle Lin De is not a fairy, how do you know that the people you are looking for are good." Mu Xiaochu raised his head and said with a smile: "Moreover, Uncle Lin De doesn't know, Aunt Xu and Xiaodouzi are very talented, and now I don't have to interfere much, the newly invented pastry styles are all made by them." "Although it has only been a little over a month.

The corners of Linde's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, "It's good to help Xiao Chu." ”

"Uncle Lin De, you just came back, let's go to the backyard to rest first." As he spoke, he asked Rinde to rest.

Linde shook his head, "No, the backyard is for Xiao Chu, I just came back, so I'll go back to the house to tidy up first, and I'll come back to see Xiao Chu later." ”

Seeing that Lin De had already decided, Mu Xiaochu didn't force him to stay, but said: "Then Uncle Lin De, come back quickly, Aunt Xu and Xiaodouzi said that they want to make newly invented pastries." ”

Lin De looked at Mu Xiaochu's happy expression, and he was also happy, and said, "Okay." Then he turned and left the pastry shop.

But when he turned around, the smile in his eyes disappeared.

A month earlier, he had learned that the ship under him was shipwrecked at sea, and that many people had died in the sea, and that he had gone to appease the anger of his dead family members and to comfort them.

But just after the matter was settled, he was told that the goods needed for his shop were robbed by robbers, because it was a very important batch of goods, and he could not get them in a short time, so he had to go around with people there to take out the goods, but fortunately, the goods were taken out in the end, but a month passed.

When he came back and learned about Xiaocao, he was angry, so when he heard that Xiao Chu was in the pastry shop, he came over without even changing his clothes.

Fortunately, Xiao Chu had nothing to do, otherwise he would really regret dying.

Looking at Lin De who was leaving, Mu Xiaochu said: "This place is very close to Uncle Lin De's house, and the pastries can't be made before he comes back, otherwise I'll go buy some other delicious food for Uncle Lin De first?" Yes, that's it. ”

After Mu Xiaochu said to the steward, he left the pastry shop.

A man wandered down the street, and finally stopped in front of a stall that bought stinky tofu, bought some and ate it in his hand.

A secluded path.

"Oh, how do you walk!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mu Xiaochu looked at the stinky tofu that fell on the ground, as well as the dirty skirt in front of her, and knew that she was just eating and forgetting to look at the road, and kept apologizing, even if her skirt was dirty, she didn't care about it.

"It's useful to say sorry, do you know that our lady's skirt is the latest in the first line, even if you sell it, you can't afford to pay for it!"

Mu Xiaochu, who was still very guilty, stopped apologizing after hearing the maid's words, looked directly at the person who spoke, and asked, "You are the maid of that young lady, right?" ”

"That's right, if you know each other, hurry up and apologize to my young lady, and then pay for the clothes. The maid raised her head high and looked at Mu Xiaochu with disdain in her eyes.

During this period, the young lady in the maid's mouth looked at the stained part of the skirt in horror, although she was wearing a veil, she could still see a trace of sadness from the exposed eyes, so she stayed quietly, and the maid beside her spoke.

Mu Xiaochu looked at the other party and pretended to be puzzled, "But I don't think this young lady looks like a grumpy person?" ”

The maid said proudly: "That's natural, our young lady is recognized as the first talented girl in the capital!" ”

"Alright, Xiao Fen." Hearing the maid's praise, the young lady was disgusted, and turned her head to look at Mu Xiaochu with a good old look: "Since this young lady didn't mean it, then forget it, wait, you are Mu Xiaochu, the new head of the Murong family!" The woman's pupils dilated slightly at the end, shocked.

"Miss, what are you talking about, how can an indecent woman eating on the street be the head of the Murong family, I'm afraid Miss is wrong." The maid looked Mu Xiaochu up and down disdainfully.

"It turned out to be you." The woman looked up, Mu Xiaochu recognized this person, no way, what she did that day was too impressive.

A proper white lotus in her heart.

"It's me, Xiao Chu, I didn't want to beat you, but I still remember me." The woman said with a smile on her face.

"Who gave you permission to call me Xiao Chu?" After the woman finished speaking, Mu Xiaochuxiu frowned slightly, and said impatiently.

"Xiao Chu?" After Mu Xiaochu finished speaking, the woman looked at her in shock, as if she didn't believe that she would be like this to her.

Xiao Fen pointed at Mu Xiaochu, "Presumptuous, do you know who our young lady is, the young lady calls you Xiao Chu to look down on you, you dare to treat my young lady like this, believe it or not, I will ask someone to put you in prison now!" ”

Mu Xiaochu's red lips opened lightly, he plucked his ears with his hand, and said impatiently: "Boring, isn't it just a piece of clothing, how much is it, I'll give it to you now, oh-I remembered." Mu Xiaochu looked at the maid Xiaofen, "You just said that this dress is worth 10,000 taels of silver, Nuo, give it to you." ”

After speaking, Mu Xiaochu took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from his purse and handed it to the maid, "Although this dress has been worn by your young lady, it is more than 10,000 taels of silver, but who called me kind-hearted, hey-" Mu Xiaochu sighed lightly, bypassed them and left.

There aren't a lot of people here, not so many boring people!

"Miss?" Xiao Fen looked at the 10,000 taels of votes in her hand, like a hot potato, and asked the people around her in a panic.
