Yin Bei got up under Mo Lingfeng's forced gaze, went to the account office to pay the silver, and didn't have time to buy Boxing Li, so he went to the kitchen to carry a basket of newly made cakes, a pot of rice wine, a lamb chop, and took it to Shishi Street.

Sure enough, as Mo Lingfeng said, Wu's mother was startled, and she couldn't help refusing it, but after Wu Jin came out, she asked his mother to accept it.

He only asked Yin Bei: "Miss Mo is back?" ”

Yin Bei nodded: "Yes." ”

Wu Jin smiled: "It's okay to be back, I'll go over tomorrow morning." ”

The next day in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu's mother got up before dawn and went to the street to buy chestnuts.

She bought pine nuts, melon kernels, and chestnuts, carried them home, cut the chestnuts first, soaked them in boiling water, and endured scalding to peel the chestnut kernels.

While peeling, she panicked.

No merit, what is Wu Jin doing in Mofu, can he be treated so favorably?

She thought she was still a fasting servant as before, but now it seems that she may not be.

But she couldn't ask anything from Wu Jin's mouth, so she could only ask Mo Lingfeng's preferences, and take advantage of today's Mid-Autumn Festival to make some pine nut chestnut cakes and ask Wu Jin to send them to Mo Lingfeng.

Wu Jin opened the door and came out, called "A-Niang", went to fetch water to wash, and then went to the kitchen to help light the fire, cooked the chestnuts very well, and then put sugar to mash them.

He added a piece of firewood, saw Wu's mother's worries, and said with a smile: "Isn't A-Niang worried that I am going the wrong way and doing the wrong thing?" Don't worry, I've got it all in my mind. ”

Mother Wu took out the cooked chestnuts and hesitated: "I know you have a number, but I'm afraid that you will be blinded by this silver, one hundred taels, one thousand taels, ten thousand taels...... That's how the human eye is fascinated. ”

She took out the sugar and poured it into the basin: "I'm afraid that you will make the second child tired, and in order to pay off the debt, you won't even care about your studies." ”

Wu Jin put a steamer on the shelf: "The second child's debt, he sells the cake to pay it off, I don't help, let alone the family, don't say anything about the burden, and give more points." ”

He spread a muslin cloth: "Even if I go to Mofu, I will not waste my studies, there is also a mid-year vacation in Mofu, and I will go to the state school to audit during the holiday, besides, I just went to Mofu to help deal with chores, not to go to Longtan Tiger's Den, A-Niang rest assured, now Miss Mo is in trouble, I don't help her, isn't it ungrateful." ”

Mother Wu mixed glutinous rice flour with chestnut kernels, and said with a smile: "What Longtan Tiger's Den, is Mo Jiedu better?" ”

"It's still like that."

"Miss Mo is pitiful, she is a motherless ......"

The mother and son worked together to make a cage of pine nut chestnut cake and steamed it there, Wu Yi got up when he smelled the fragrance, washed his face, stood next to the stove, and swallowed his saliva silently in front of the steamer.

"Brother......" he hesitated to look at Wu Jin who was burning the fire, "I-"

He turned his head to look at the door, and saw that Wu's mother had gone to help Wu's father, so he whispered: "Brother, can I stay in the shop today to help?" ”

He hurriedly assured himself: "I'm not afraid of being tired, but no one is buying cakes now, and a cage ......of cakes will run most of Kuanzhou City, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Wu Jin nodded: "Okay, there are small cakes in the cupboard, you wrap three pieces and take them to the cake shop to eat." ”

As soon as Wu Yi heard that there was a small cake, his eyes immediately lit up, and before he saw the cake, his mouth was already smacking greedily - he slept heavily at night, and he didn't know that Yin Beilai had sent a small cake, otherwise he would get up in the middle of the night and steal a piece.

Running to the low cabinet, he opened the cabinet door, and immediately saw a beautiful food box inside, opened the food box, and there were ten small shortbreads neatly stacked inside, round and round, oily and golden: "Brother, was it sent by Cheng Sanye's family?" ”

"No, it was given by Miss Mo."

Wu Yi took out three pieces and wrapped them, closed the cabinet door, walked to the stove, couldn't hold it, opened the paper bag, took out a small cake and brought it to his mouth, opened his mouth slightly, took a bite, and then put it back.

"Delicious! Isn't it okay for Mo Jiedu to make it? ”

"Nope."

"Miss Mo is so pitiful," Wu Yi had an endless aftertaste, shook his fingers, and sighed with emotion, "It's still not as pitiful as us, Miss Mo has such a big family business, she can't spend it all, and she can't be pitiful if she has silver." ”

He picked up the cake he put back and took another bite, and at the same time smelled the aroma of pine nut chestnut cake in his nose, but Wu Jin didn't speak, so he didn't dare to eat it, so he could only stand aside with saliva.

Wu Jin ignored his emotion, opened the lid of the pot, poked one with chopsticks, and saw that it was steamed, so he bent down and pulled out two firewoods, leaving only a small firewood, which burned slightly in the stove, got up and went to the low cupboard to take out the food box, picked out the small cakes in it one by one, and put them in the bowl.

After scrubbing the food box, he spread oiled paper, picked up the pine nut chestnut cake while it was hot, and took out the piece of chopsticks with a hole for Wu Yi.

Wu Yi turned it upside down in his hand, and took a bite of most of it while it was hot: "It's delicious, who do you want to send it to?" ”

Wu Jin covered the food box: "Miss Mo." ”

"Oh, I see, return the favor." While eating, Wu Yi watched Wu Jin change his clothes in a hurry, and the head on his head was still crooked, so he came to pick up the food box.

He stretched out his finger and pointed at his head: "Brother, it's crooked." ”

Wu Jin hurriedly straightened up, picked up the food box and left, the heel of the walk hit the back of the head, but after a while, he went out and disappeared.

Wu Yi looked at it and muttered in his heart, I don't know what he is doing in such a hurry?

Are you still afraid that the pine nut chestnut cake will be cold?

Wu Jin kept going all the way, and when he knocked on the horn door, his forehead was slightly sweaty.

The door opened quickly, and the door on duty at the corner gate saw him on weekdays, either saying "It's good today", or saying "it's raining again", and he didn't take Wu Jin as an outsider with a smile, but today he opened the door to see Wu Jin, didn't smile, bowed deeply, and couldn't wait to land on all fours and welcome him in.

"Young Master Wu is here."

Wu Jin was surprised, but he didn't ask much, he hurriedly walked inside, and walked into the back garden as soon as he left.

In the back garden, the thrushes jumped around, noisy and chirping, gathered on the treetops, not afraid of people at all, and the people who were cleaning on the path saw Wu Jin coming, and they also respectfully stepped aside, bent down deeply, and let him pass.

Wu Jin felt a little strange, he always felt that this situation was familiar, and after taking two more steps, he suddenly reacted that these servants treated him as if they were Zhao Shiheng and Mo Qianlan overnight.

They turned into saw-beaked gourds and clay carved wooden sculptures, bent down and bowed their heads, and regarded him as their master.

He was unwell, he didn't know what to do, he walked several steps with his hands and feet, slowly recovered, took a deep breath, and continued to walk forward with the food box.

This feeling of being on top is also addictive, and if you are careful, you will have the illusion that you also have so much power.

A few more steps, in the noisy noise of a hundred birds, there is a sudden sound of a lonely phoenix, "woo-" raised to the sky, the autumn clouds are dark, and the birds do not sing.

It was Mo Lingfeng blowing in the water pavilion.

Wu Jin stood still, listened carefully to the song, until the garden was calm, the thrush "dede" called twice, followed by a rush of noise, he woke up like a dream, and walked eagerly towards the water pavilion.

Mo Lingfeng sat in the water pavilion and wiped her hair, the faint morning light entered from both sides of the water pavilion, and the dense water vapor floated around her, enveloping her into a virtual shadow, and the white gown on her body hung down to her side, making her more and more slender.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mo Lingfeng looked back and saw that it was Wu Jin, so he smiled at him, and that smile seemed to be no different from before.
