Chapter 31: The Adopted Daughter of the Hou Mansion and the Son of the Qing Leng Family 3
Listen to Yuxuan.
Cha Jiu was leaning crookedly on the beauty couch and secretly reading the small script, and the system suddenly spoke.
"Ning Changting's favorability towards you has risen, and now it is thirty percent."
This was expected by Cha Jiu: "It seems that he still likes that bottle of Wurui flowers." ”
At this time, the personal maid Xiaomei knocked on the door outside: "Miss, the prince is here." ”
Cha Jiu was surprised.
Isn't it, does Ning Changting still want to come to the door to thank you?
Or did he discover the mystery in the sachet?
Cha Jiu got up and tidied up her clothes, and regained her gentle and graceful appearance in front of the mirror, before Shi Shiran went out.
"Brother Changting, good afternoon."
As soon as Cha Jiu saw Ning Changting, his smart peach blossom eyes smiled slightly.
Ning Changting pursed his lips.
It's either good morning or good afternoon.
Apart from these two sentences, she didn't have anything else to say to him?
That's it.
Ning Changting handed over the food box in his hand, and said in a casual tone: "This is for you." ”
Cha Jiu took it and saw the plum blossom lacquer mark on the food box, and recognized it as something from Zhenwei Pavilion.
Her eyes were full of surprise, and she looked at Ning Changting and said, "This is the pastry of Zhenwei Pavilion, and it is the best in their family in Shengjing." Is this what Brother Changting bought on purpose? ”
Ning Changting stiffened: "No, I just happened to meet it." ”
Yong'an's face looked even more strange.
It's obviously a detour, why is it just right?
Cha Jiu opened the food box and couldn't help but marvel.
Inside there are delicate flower-shaped pastries, and each one is different.
Yongan was also surprised.
No wonder the prince refused to let his subordinates carry this food box, the pastry powdered sugar inside was different in color and shape, I am afraid that the prince was worried that the subordinates would accidentally carry it, mix the color, and make it look bad.
It turns out that the prince is so interested in Miss Yanshu?
Cha Jiu held it with a handkerchief, carefully picked up a piece of peach-shaped pastry and took a small bite.
The peach-pink sprinkles were stained with delicate plump lips, and they trembled slightly with the chewing action of the small mouth, like a kitten eating, which made people can't help but feel pity.
Before Ning Changting could react, his hand had already reached out to Cha Jiu's lips and wiped it gently.
Cha Jiu stopped his movements and looked at him blankly.
That pure look made Ning Changting come back to his senses on the spot.
The boiling blood rushed straight to his head, but Ning Changting still had to pretend to be calm and continued to rub off the sugar chips on the corners of Cha Jiu's lips.
"You've got your face covered in food." He coughed lightly, feigning casualness.
It seems that it is natural to help the righteous sister wipe the corners of her mouth.
However, the tips of his ears were hot and red.
Cha Jiu was a little embarrassed by him, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
"Brother Changting, do you still like the Wurui flower that was sent?" Cha Jiu asked knowingly.
Ning Changting didn't answer, but he asked something else: "Wurui flowers drive away evil and avoid poison, which has an excellent meaning in the Dragon Boat Festival." Did you send your grandmother and mother too? ”
Cha Jiu shook his head: "I only learned flower arrangement today, and the first bottle I made was given to you." ”
Ning Changting got a satisfying answer, and the coldness and indifference between his eyebrows and eyes also melted a little.
It turned out that he got the first one.
It's still the only one.
Very good.
"And what about this pastry?" Cha Jiu rebelled against the army, "Grandmother, mother, and sister Qisu should all have them, right?" ”
Ning Changting's expression froze.
Yong'an's mouth was fast: "The prince bought one according to everyone's liking, the old lady's jade bean cake, and the lady's Longjing rice cake......"
Ning Changting swept him coldly.
Yongan was so frightened that he hurriedly silenced him.
Cha Jiu lowered his eyes: "Oh, it turns out that everyone has it." ”
Ning Changting was a little annoyed.
Originally, I went to buy the pastries of Zhenwei Pavilion today, just to thank Cha Jiu for sewing and mending his clothes yesterday.
But he thought that it would be repugnant to buy it for her alone, so he bought more according to the tastes of his grandmother and mother.
As for the one given to Shen Qisu, he even let the store pick it casually.
I didn't expect this one person to have a share, but it made Cha Jiu unhappy.
What can I do?
Ning Changting has never been close to any girl, and even the sisters in the second room are cold and alienated.
Now he was in a difficult situation, and he didn't know how to coax Cha Jiu.
Seeing his helpless expression, Cha Jiu couldn't bear to tease him anymore: "This day is getting hotter and hotter, Brother Changting should go back to Qingfeng Yuan to rest early." ”
"You don't have anything to say to me?" Ning Changting couldn't help but ask after all.
Cha Jiu knew that he was talking about the little note.
But she pretended not to know, tilted her head, and her eyes were clear: "What words?" ”
Ning Changting's heart seemed to be immersed in cold water all of a sudden.
"Nothing."
There was a bit of anger in his coldness, and he turned to leave.
Back in Qingfeng Garden, Ning Changting lost his mind in front of Wuruihua alone.
He lifted the hand that had wiped Cha Jiu's lips, and there were still residual sugar chips on his fingertips, as well as the soft and delicate touch.
The tip of the heart is a little crispy.
He slowly brought the finger to his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then licked it tentatively.
It's so sweet.
I can't tell if it's the sweetness of the pastry or the ...... Other.
"It's crazy."
After reacting to what he had done, Ning Changting laughed at himself.
……
The system reminded Cha Jiu: "Ning Changting's favorability has risen by five percent, how did you do it?" ”
Ning Changting was still sullen when he left at the end, why did his favorability rise instead?
Cha Jiu ate the pastry in his mouth and said vaguely: "Do you know what is the most heart-wrenching?" ”
The system, of course, does not know.
"You know it's yours, but you haven't gotten it yet."
The system suddenly realized: "So you deliberately let Ning Changting hear your thoughts about him in the ancestral hall, but you refused to say it clearly, and kept hanging him?" ”
"Pay attention to your words, how can such a thing as feelings be called hanging? It's called pulling. ”
System: "Okay, but the most important question now is not that Mrs. Ninghou chose Shen Qisu?" No matter how much you pull Ning Changting's feelings, you can't be a young lady and can't have children. ”
Cha Jiu shook his head: "Ning Changting is not a person who allows his parents to manipulate his marriage, on the contrary, he has his own opinions. ”
If Ning Changting was unwilling, even if he was tied up in the cave room, he would not take any action.
As for Mrs. Ninghou's side, there was no need to worry at all.
According to Shen Qisu's character, she will die herself, pushing Mrs. Ninghou's heart farther and farther.
Really.
It wasn't until dinner that day that Shen Qisu sneaked back to the Hou Mansion from outside.
She thought she was seamless, but who knew that when she just crawled in from the dog hole in the backyard, she was caught by Mama Wen beside Mrs. Ninghou.
Shen Qisu smiled weakly.
Mama Wen's face was expressionless: "Today is Lent, the old lady, the lady, and the young masters and ladies are already having dinner in the main hall, so it's time for you." ”
Shen Qisu patted his head, and his heart was not good.
The Hou Mansion attaches the most importance to these rules of what day and what day.
On weekdays, everyone eats in their own courtyard, but on these special days, the old lady requires everyone to go to the main hall to eat together.
Shen Qisu has never been a master of rules, so he naturally forgot about it.
She had no choice but to shrink like a quail and follow Mama Wen to the main hall.
There are long tables in the main hall, and the dishes and dishes on them are neatly arranged according to certain rules.
Master Hou was not there, the old lady sat on the main seat, and Mrs. Ning Hou, Ning Changting and others sat down in turn.
Not only the long room, but also the second room also sat regularly, with his hands hanging down on his knees, without superfluous movements and superfluous sounds.
Seeing Shen Qisu come in, the old lady said lightly: "Since there are all the people, let's eat." ”
As soon as she spoke, the maids behind the masters dared to step forward to make vegetables.
Maybe it was because he was worried about sneaking out and being discovered, and Shen Qisu couldn't give up his soul for this meal.
One was careless, and the sleeve actually swept the white porcelain bowl to the ground, and the sound of breaking was crisp and abrupt.
Everyone's eyes brushed over to her.
