Chapter 43: Tofu
Although Lin Shijing and Gu Qingzhang didn't give Xiao Heming the reaction he wanted, he didn't care much, after all, all he wanted was a confidant.
A few people were now full of wine and food, and were about to start chatting, when suddenly a little maid lifted the curtain and came in, and said, "Eldest young master, the woman said that you should take Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin to walk around the street." ”
"Hey," Xiao Heming replied, and he smiled apologetically, "Look at me, I've almost forgotten about this." ”
Gu Qingzhang and Lin Shijing naturally didn't care about such trivial things.
When the three of them were sorting out their clothes, Lin Chonghan walked over from a distance across the door of the house, followed by Xiao Fu, who was still chattering.
The little girl's eyes widened and asked, "Big brother, can you take me with you today?" ”
Xiao Heming had some surprises, but this was not a big deal, so naturally he would not agree.
Xiao Fu bent his eyes and smiled very happily.
As a result, a few people just stepped through the courtyard gate, and before they reached the gate of Xiao's mansion, they were stopped by a grandmother.
Mama said with a cold expression and a stiff tone: "Forgive your sins...... It's just that our wife instructed that since it is not a New Year's holiday, the young lady still doesn't go out. ”
"What?" Xiao Fu froze in disbelief, "But, but today my cousin is here, can't I play with them?" ”
As she spoke, tears were rolling in her eyes, as if they were about to drip to the ground in the next second.
But Mama was still unmoved: "Miss, this is Mrs.'s order, and the old slave can't do anything." ”
The three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stalemate for a while.
Lin Chonghan wanted to open her mouth to plead, but she couldn't control her aunt as a niece, so she could only shut her mouth helplessly, watching Xiao Fu stand on the spot without crying.
"Mama Yu," a female voice sounded at this time, "the old lady said it today, let the young lady go out to play with her." ”
Everyone turned around, only to see a maid in her twenties standing there at some point, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, she should have just hurried over.
It's just that the maid's expression is not flustered, and she speaks unhurriedly: "You know, only this is the time, and I ask you to go back to your wife." ”
Mama Yu's face was red and white by her, but in the end, she threw her handkerchief and went back unwillingly.

The group left Xiao's Mansion and came to Deyue Tower under the leadership of Xiao Heming.
Xiao Er obviously knew Xiao Heming, so he didn't ask much, but took everyone straight to the box on the second floor.
"The squirrel mandarin fish in Deyue Building, the chicken in Deyue, and Xi Shi playing with the moon are all a must," Xiao Heming sat down by the window, and there was a tofu shop opposite the building, "Since you have come to Suzhou, you might as well try Suzhou food." ”
Lin Shijing has been in Suzhou for a lot longer than Lin Chonghan, and his memory of Suzhou is also more profound.
While looking at Xiao Er's hot dishes and chopsticks, he said with a smile: "It should be so, I have been away from Suzhou for a long time, and I should try Suzhou food again." ”
As she spoke, Lin Chonghan keenly noticed that Xiao Heming's eyes had been looking at the other side, and she had some doubts in her heart, and at this moment, Xiao Er's voice came-
"A couple of guest officers! We offer fried buns and red bean balls for free, so please eat them first. ”
There are a few snow-white beads buried in the rich red beans, and the steaming mist is misty, and the osmanthus flowers dotted on them are looming.
Lin Chonghan was instantly attracted by this dish, she has always loved sweets, and when she saw this red bean Lantern Festival, she felt her index finger move.
