Chapter 41: His heart is moved

Miss Su said cautiously. Yuan Qi looked at the person in front of him coldly.

Su Yunwei blinked, and didn't think there was anything wrong with this: "Brother Yuan is also from a big family, and there must be countless servants in the family, but you won't give a big funeral to a servant just because he died." ”

Cheng Qingwan immediately laughed when she heard this, if there was a little jealousy just now, then it is completely gone now, this kid is too stupid.

Don't say that Yuanqi is the imperial history supervisor, even if it is not, with the cautious words just now, you can guess the attitude, how can anyone still keep jumping into the minefield.

"You compare your sister's concubine to a servant?"

Su Yunwei was slightly stunned, and then said: "Song Zhaodi's background is not as good as that of our family, what can't be compared?" ”

"Please also go back and tell the pavilion chief that I am afraid that I can't afford the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in your mansion." Yuanqi's eyebrows were very light, and he couldn't see any emotion: "Azhu, send off." ”

Before Su Yunwei could speak, she was half-pulled and half-dragged out of the door by Azhu.

"Your peach blossoms are really vigorous." Cheng Qingwan propped her head and teased her with a smile.

Yuan Qi shook his head lightly, turned around and poured her a cup of hot tea: "No matter who it is today, as long as it is a member of the Yuan clan, there will be such a thing." ”

Ah Zhu walked in and heard this, and immediately continued: "But isn't it, when our family entered the mansion on the first day, this Miss Su was still ridiculed in every way, and as soon as she knew the identity of the adult, she immediately offered her courtesy, which scared us adults to rush back overnight." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded, stood up and said, "I have eaten the meal, and the gift has been accepted, I should go back." ”

Yuan Qi immediately grabbed her hand and said softly: "Don't worry, it's still early, play a game of chess with me." ”

"Playing chess?" Cheng Qingwan watched Ah Zhu put the chessboard on the board and put Baizi beside him: "I don't know how to play chess." ”

"I'll teach you."

Cheng Qingwan frowned, watching him drop a son, and she gave a son next to him with doubts.

Yuanqi's fall speed is very fast, as if he doesn't have to think at all.

After a game of chess, Cheng Qingwan's white son was beaten and powerless.

She propped up the table a little bored, watched the person opposite clean up the chess game, and asked softly, "Still here?" ”

Yuan Qi nodded: "One more game." ”

Cheng Qingwan had no choice but to take the chess pieces and came to another game.

One afternoon passed, five games of chess were played, and the games were all lost by white.

Cheng Qingwan looked at the chess game thoughtfully, the current white son can still have two moves with the black son.

She propped her head and looked at Yuanqi who was cleaning up the chessboard: "Why did you suddenly teach me to play chess?" ”

"It's too snowy outside, it's hard to go out, I can't let you stay here to study with me."

Even Ah Zhu heard this excuse.

Cheng Qingwan didn't poke him, just smiled, waited for him to finish cleaning up, and got into the carriage together.

After a while, they arrived at Cheng's house, and the two got out of the carriage, and Cheng Hua'er immediately greeted them.

Seeing Yuan Qi personally helping his daughter out of the carriage, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately stepped forward.

"Mrs. Cheng, long time no see." Yuan Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth and greeted.

"Lord Yuan." Cheng Hua'er nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The dishes are simple, I hope you don't dislike them." ”

"Don't dare."

Cheng Qingwan, who listened to this set of greetings, frowned, and after taking a seat, she looked at the dishes on the table and was stunned, this is called...... Simple dishes?

Everyone sat down and looked at Yuanqi, as if to let him move the chopsticks first.

"Elders first."

Cheng Hua'er smiled when she heard this, and then moved her chopsticks: "Don't be polite, everyone, you should eat and drink." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone moved their chopsticks and ate with laughter.

Cheng Hua'er watched Yuan Qi keep serving vegetables to his daughter and smiled lightly.

"Lord Yuan's designation is to be tempted by Wanwan." Aunt Liu leaned over and said softly: "Don't worry, Wan Wan is so smart, she must have an idea in her heart." ”

Cheng Hua'er nodded and withdrew her gaze.

"Atong has arrived in the capital a few days ago, and the emperor is very satisfied with this batch of tomatoes, and has issued a decree to reward a thousand taels of silver, and also invites you to face the saint."

"Face saint? Going to the capital? When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she asked subconsciously.

"In March, the emperor will make a private patrol, and there is a high probability that he will summon you in the next county." Yuan Qi served her vegetables and said with a smile: "If you are a saint, that set of gem heads will come in handy." ”

Cheng Hua'er heard this, and immediately said: "Wan Wan can't face the saint!" ”

Cheng Qingwan turned her head to look at her strangely, and asked softly, "Why, A-Niang?" ”

"There are many rules in the palace, I'm afraid that you will accidentally cause a disaster." Cheng Hua'er frowned, took her hand and said, "A-Niang only has a daughter like you, and I can't let you take risks." ”

Yuan Qi smiled, picked up the quilt on the side, and took a shallow sip.

After dinner, he followed Cheng Hua'er and walked out.

"Mrs. Cheng." Yuan Qi stopped her in the courtyard and said with a smile: "Marquis Jing died of illness the year before last, and Prince Jing inherited the title. ”

Cheng Hua'er was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at him: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Today's Jinghou has not yet married a wife, and he is in Huaxian County at the moment." Yuan Qi finished with a smile, then turned around and left: "If you need it, I'll take you to see him." ”

When Cheng Hua'er heard this, she stood in the snow with a stiff face, not knowing what to react to for a while.

After a while, she walked into the house, and saw that her daughter was seriously learning abacus from Lianzhi, and she seemed to have an answer in her heart.

Cheng Qingwan has been calculating how to use a thousand taels of silver since she finished lunch.

"Sister, you can take a hundred taels and rent a shop where people can live, so that you don't have to run back." Lian Zhi said while calculating the accounts: "Except for Lian Song's young age, we will cook some dishes, and if we open a restaurant, we can avoid hiring a chef." Lian Song can do chores, and I can manage the accounts with Aunt Cheng, so that I don't have to hire a cook, manage the accounts, and do chores. ”

Cheng Qingwan shook her head: "If you want to open a restaurant, you still have to hire a chef." I've tasted the food of Zuifenglou, compared to our family's food......"

"I understand, but if the price drives down ......"

"The price of Zuifeng Building is very close to the people, if it is lowered, we will not make any money at all." Cheng Qingwan took the pen and wrote a price comparison on the paper.

Lian Zhi looked at this comparison, calculated another account, and determined that Cheng Qingwan was right.

"Let's open a dim sum shop."

"Dim sum shop?"

Cheng Qingwan nodded and said, "Wheat can be ground into flour and can be made into various pastries, so we save a lot of ingredients." ”

"But none of us have ever learned how to make pastries."

"It's okay, I will, I'll teach you." Cheng Qingwan said with a smile: "There are still three months before the reward arrives." During this time, we order the pastries and plant the seeds of wheat and other useful ingredients. ”

Lian Zhi nodded and wrote down everything she said.

Yuan Qi didn't know when he walked behind him, and said with a smile: "If you want to open a pastry shop, you still need some molds." ”

Cheng Qingwan was taken aback, turned her head and asked, "Why is Lord Yuan still listening to the corner." ”

"Passing by." Although Yuan Qi said this, he still did it, took a piece of paper, and sketched the appearance of several pastries: "These are the more popular pastries in the capital." ”

"Yes, everybody likes auspicious words." Cheng Qingwan looked at the pastry with Fu Lushou printed on it, and nodded: "Lord Yuan, borrow this picture for me to use, and I'll make a few molds to come out." ”

"I'll help you." Yuan Qi took her hand and smiled softly.

Cheng Qingwan looked at his firm eyes, blushed instantly, coughed lightly, and pulled her hand out.

She turned her head to look at Lian Zhi's smiling eyes, and said seriously, "I have a few pastry ideas, wait until I try them tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Lian Zhi nodded immediately, and then said, "Sister, I'll go find Lian Song first." ”

After saying that, he immediately escaped from the road full of dog food.

Cheng Qingwan sat for a while, took the paper, wrote down a few pastry names, and then wrote down the materials needed for these pastries.

When the year is over, soybeans and wheat must be planted, and chickens and ducks will have to raise a few more litters. Then there's sugar cane, which can be squeezed for sugar.

The rest of the materials, see if you can buy them, and if you can't buy them, change them from the system. Fortunately, the system has recipes, and everything is now in time.

"Mung beans and red beans are cheaper on South Street, and chestnuts can still be bought at Grandma Chen's now." Yuan Qi looked at her list and said the same thing where it was cheapest.

"You've seen it?"

"I went shopping once, thinking that I might be able to pay taxes in the future, so I wrote it down."

Cheng Qingwan looked at his head and opened her mouth: "You are really a little clever ghost, you have helped me a lot." ”

As he spoke, he wrote down everything he had just said.

Yuanqi pointed to the milk moon cake and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is a mooncake made of milk."

"I'm looking for milk that is scarce and expensive, and not worth it." Yuan Qi said softly: "A cow only needs six or seven taels of silver, but a pound of milk costs three taels of silver." What price do you want to set for milk mooncakes? ”

Cheng Qingwan listened to these words, thought for a while, and made a cross behind the milk moon cake.

Yuanqi accompanied her for a long time to take care of the ingredients, until when he was young, he took her to the yard.

"What are you doing in the yard?"

A cold wind blew, and Cheng Qingwan shrunk her neck.

"Wait a minute." Yuanqi said, and then got into the car and hugged a lot of fireworks: "Set off fireworks." ”

Cheng Qingwan's eyes lit up suddenly, she hadn't seen ancient fireworks yet.

While the two were studying, there were fireworks in the sky not far away.

"It's twelve o'clock." Cheng Qingwan looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky and whispered softly.

Yuanqi took the fireworks outside the yard, lit them, and then ran to her side to watch the fireworks in the sky with her.

He looked down at Cheng Qingwan, his bright smile was illuminated by the fireworks, and he was so beautiful that he lost his mind.

This is the second time he feels that even if a beauty is a skirt, it can make people attracted at a glance in the crowd.

Yuan Qi looked at her and smiled, he knew very clearly that he was moved.
