Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Aunt Gui smiled and comforted herself: "It's okay, as long as you live a good life, it's the same wherever you are."
The queen is so capable, so my sister will definitely have a good life.
Xin You moved her lips and wanted to agree, but she couldn't say anything. She poured a glass of lychee and osmanthus wine and took a big sip.
The fragrance of osmanthus, the sweetness of lychee, and the faint smell of alcohol are all mesmerizing.
Xin You took another sip and praised: "It tastes really good."
Aunt Gui was very happy: "The lychee wine was brewed in April. I picked the lychees myself, and they were all plump and translucent..."
Xinyou listened carefully.
Aunt Xia also likes to make fruit wine, including red bayberries in March, lychees in April, cherries in May, peaches in June, and grapes in July. From the warmth of spring to the brilliant golden autumn, those fruit wines carry the sweetness of those months and nourish her. four seasons.
Xin You can confidently say that she is a very happy child and has grown up happily.
You can't hide a person's interest in a topic from others. Seeing that Xinyou was listening seriously, Aunt Gui smiled and said, "If Miss Kou is interested, I will teach you how to make wine someday."
"Okay." Xin You agreed with a smile.
In fact, she and Aunt Xia had learned how to make snacks and make wine, but Aunt Xia later refused her entry into the kitchen.
Xin You was a little curious about Aunt Gui's current situation.
Aunt Xia is my mother's maid, and Aunt Gui and Aunt Xia are biological sisters, so they should be palace maids.
But it shouldn't be as convenient for Gong'e to leave the palace.
Xin You suppressed her doubts for the time being, and ate Suhuangdu with Aunt Gui, drank lychee and sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and then sent her out of the bookstore.
After turning around and coming back, Xin You met the old shopkeeper's intriguing eyes.
"Is something wrong, shopkeeper?"
"Master, who is this woman?"
Xin You smiled: "I didn't ask in detail, I just thought we were compatible."
Shopkeeper Hu coughed: "I think she is not an ordinary customer."
"What?" Xin You asked calmly.
Did even Shopkeeper Hu realize that Aunt Gui had another purpose?
"Could it be that a young man from a certain family admires his boss, and his elders came to inquire about the situation?" Shopkeeper Hu said in a low voice.
Xinyou looked a little strange.
I didn’t expect Shopkeeper Hu to be such a nosy person!
Shopkeeper Hu suddenly felt aggrieved and hurriedly explained: "The villain is afraid that my boss will suffer a loss if he trusts others."
Many people must have discovered their boss's ability to make money, and some people may have had some evil intentions.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I won't suffer a loss."
Liu Zhou interjected: "That's right, shopkeeper, you just like to think wildly, so our boss won't suffer."
Shopkeeper Hu glared at Liu Zhou and thought to himself, what do you know, a boy who wants to pair up his boss and Master He all day long?
As soon as the old shopkeeper thought of Mr. He, He Qingxiao came in.
Liu Zhou Diandian greeted him: "Master He, you are here."
In the past, he always said, "Master He is here to read a book." Recently, Master He is always buying books, so he doesn't even know how to say hello.
He Qingxiao didn't come to read a book.
He received a letter from the south that there was no progress regarding the accidental death of Miss Kou's father. Instead, he thought of secretly investigating the Guchangbo Mansion and made some discoveries.
Thinking of Miss Kou's attention to Guchangbo Mansion, she couldn't help but come to see her.
Xin You saw that He Qingxiao was worried, so he asked, "Master He, would you like to go to the guest room for a cup of tea?"
He Qingxiao looked at Xin You with doubts in his eyes.
Miss Kou just drank lychee and osmanthus wine.
It seems to be done by Aunt Gui——
This is impossible.
He Qingxiao shook her head secretly and followed Xin You into the guest room.
"Liu Zhou, clear the table."
"Here you go." Liu Zhou walked in quickly upon hearing Xin You's instructions, picked up the plate of crispy yellow cakes with only two pieces left on the table, and prepared to take them away.
He Qingxiao said: "Is this Suhuangdu?"
Liu Zhou's hand holding the plate paused.
"Ah, yes." Xin You was so alert that he didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.
Can't you politely say that Mr. He wants to try the leftover snacks?
He Qingxiao asked calmly: "Can I have a taste?"
Xin You:?
Liu Zhou looked at He Qingxiao in shock, as if he had just met this adult.
How could Mr. He say such words without changing his expression!
Xin You signaled Liu Zhou to put down the plate he wanted to take away, and the boy put down the plate and ran away.
"Master He also likes to eat Suhuangdu, right? This Suhuangdu tastes great, but it's a bit cold." Xin You considerately pushed Suhuangdu towards He Qingxiao, and poured a cup of hot tea over to him.
Even though it was leftover, the person eating it wouldn't eat on the plate. Xin You was mainly shocked that the other person was so discreet about eating it just for a bite.
Your Majesty, is life so difficult?
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
Sure enough, people who follow that father will not have a good life.
"I like this pastry better." He Qingxiao forced her expression to look calm, picked up a piece of cake and ate it alone.
He really wasn't such a greedy person, he just wanted to make sure of one thing.
As soon as the dim sum was in his mouth, He Qingxiao, who was naturally sensitive to smells, was almost certain: this dim sum was made by Aunt Gui.
When making a dim sum, the amount of auxiliary ingredients and the thickness and shape of the main ingredients will all cause different tastes, and everyone who makes dim sum has their own habits.
So the question is, why does Aunt Gui’s crispy yellow cake appear in the reception room of Qingsong Bookstore?
"Did Miss Kou make this snack at home or did she buy it?"
Xin You looked at the only snack left on the plate and did not answer directly: "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"
He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, but finally said it: "The dim sum is very delicious. I have an elder who is very good at making Suhuangdu. I just tasted it and it tasted like what she made."
If he doesn't speak out, not only will he not be able to resolve his doubts, but it will also cause Miss Kou to misunderstand that he is shameless just for a bite.
He Qingxiao thought that the gains outweighed the losses. Even though the person who revealed the information first would be passive, he still chose to confess.
elder?
Xin You's heart moved and she asked, "Does Master He know Aunt Gui?"
Sure enough, it was Aunt Gui.
"My elder is Aunt Gui. I wonder how Miss Kou knows her?"
"Oh, Aunt Gui came to buy books. We happened to meet and chatted with him. The more we chatted, the more we got along, and we got to know each other. This Suhuangdu was given to me by Aunt Gui."
He Qingxiao: "..." So last night Aunt Gui suddenly made Suhuang Du, did she practice her skills first?
But why did Aunt Gui come to buy books? He didn't realize that Aunt Gui had a hobby of reading.
"What book did Aunt Gui buy?"
Xin You raised her lips: "Travel notes. Aunt Gui said she especially likes reading travel notes."
He Qingxiao was silent.
It’s confirmed, Aunt Gui is here for Miss Kou.
Xin You was originally carefree, but when He Qingxiao was silent, he accidentally remembered what shopkeeper Hu said: Could it be that a young man from a certain family fell in love with his boss, and his elders came to inquire about the situation?
Lord Nahe——
Xin You looked at the person opposite, subconsciously picked up the remaining piece of crispy yellow and stuffed it into his mouth.
