Chapter 144 The heartbroken Aunt Gui

Xin You didn't sell it: "Xiao Lian, he wants to give those two small seals to me."

Xiaolian was completely stunned: "Hand it, give it to him?"

Xinyou nodded.

"No, no, no -" Xiao Lian took a big step back in fright, as if what was placed in front of her represented not only a small seal of 400,000 taels of silver, but a scourge.

"Girl, can you give me 400,000 taels of silver? How can I give it to your servant?"

Xin You looked at Xiao Zhang and asked seriously: "Then what are my plans?"

I should have asked Aunt Fang, but the secret about her identity cannot be revealed for the time being.

"He——" Xiaolian opened her mouth, but was stopped by the question.

The girl had asked her that question a long time ago. At that time, she couldn't imagine what she would do with so much money.

Now, it's still unimaginable.

After a while, Xiaolian suggested: "Girl, please keep that little chapter."

Xin You shook his head: "That's Miss Kou's property."

What she was going to do was unpredictable, and the 50,000 taels of cash and a dozen shops were all she wanted. If she really wanted anything, she couldn't waste Kou Qingqing's 400,000 family fortune.

"But his girl has already passed away..." Xiaolian looked at a loss, "No matter how much wealth the family has, his girl is no longer needed. Can't the girl make arrangements for his girl? She is the most capable person he has ever seen.

Already..."

"No, that's not the case." Xin You patted Xiao Lian's shoulder, her tone gentle but firm, "Whether he has any ability or not has nothing to do with that leprous. If you think so, then the old lady will use the excuse that Miss Kou is very young.

, is it wrong to keep holding on to the Kou family's wealth? After all, the old lady is more capable and experienced than Miss Kou, who is not experienced in the world."

Xiaolian was persuaded, but her heart was hanging: "What do you mean, let the servant arrange the leprosy?"

"I have grown up with Miss Kou since she was a child, so I should know Miss Kou best. He wondered whether my arrangement would best meet Miss Kou's expectations."

Xiaolian fell silent after listening to Xinyou's words. After a long time, she stretched out her legs to pick up the two small seals and took a deep breath: "The girls in his family are the most merciful to the poor and weak. One year, they met the victims who were fleeing the disaster. After hearing this,

I was very sad about the disaster, so I donated all my pocket money. Girl, I have thought about it, if there are people affected by disaster in the future, the money will be used to help the victims."

"good."

"Miss, I can't think of where to hide those two little seals. Could you help me think about it?"

"good."

That night, the two whispered for a long time before Xiaolian yawned and went to sleep outside.

When He Qingxiao left the yamen and returned to the Changle Marquis Mansion, Aunt Gui had already prepared food and was waiting for her.

"Master Hou, is things going well with Miss Kou?"

Tomorrow night's main course will be roast duck.

The roasted golden duck was sliced ​​into thin slices. Aunt Gui rolled it in almost transparent dough, put it on shredded green onions, spread it on the secret sauce, and handed it to He Qingxiao with a smile.

Last month, I came here with the help of the book, and it turned out that Miss Kou asked Mr. Hou for help if she had something to do. Although Aunt Gui didn't know the specific matter, she was very concerned about the follow-up.

When she thought about it, the Marquis would help the girl go there a few more times. If she went back and forth, the relationship would be built.

"It went very well." He Qingxiao looked a little strange after hearing Aunt Gui's words.

Aunt Gui smiled: "As long as it goes well. Mr. Hou, please try the roast duck."

He Qingxiao took two bites of the food and nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious."

After the meal, He Qingxiao called Aunt Gui and handed her a small box.

"What's that?" Aunt Gui opened the small box unprepared and gasped when she saw the banknotes inside, "Master Hou, where did you get so many banknotes?"

He Qingxiao slightly avoided Aunt Gui's shocked eyes: "Aunt Gui will help him put away the reward given by Miss Kou."

"Reward, reward?" Aunt Gui was confused, and her legs shook and she almost dropped the small box.

She slowly lowered her head and glanced at the small box filled with banknotes, then slowly raised her head and looked at He Qingxiao.

"Master Hou, I'm going to help Miss Kou. Is it a good reward?"

He Qingxiao was also a little embarrassed and explained: "Miss Kou must ask for it."

Aunt Gui held her forehead and asked in a trembling voice: "How many are there?"

"Six thousand taels."

Aunt Gui's legs shook, and her head was full of banknotes: six thousand taels, six thousand taels, six thousand taels...

The Marquis helped Miss Kou go there and took the girl six thousand taels!

"Aunt Gui, am I okay?" Seeing that Aunt Gui's face was not well, He Qingxiao asked with concern.

Aunt Gui was desperate. One look at the older children from childhood and she had an idea: if they are blind, then roast duck!

Aunt Gui didn't sleep well all night, so she went to Qingsong Bookstore with wine and freshly made snacks.

"Auntie is here." When he saw Aunt Gui, Liu Zhou greeted him warmly, but he looked weak.

Aunt Gui looked at the young man who seemed to be in a trance and asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, maybe my eyes are a bit blurry." Liu Zhou supported his legs on the counter and said slowly.

"Where is our shopkeeper?" Aunt Gui turned her eyes and realized that the old shopkeeper who seemed to be on guard when seeing her was not there.

Liu Zhou rubbed his eyes: "The shopkeeper's eyes hurt and he couldn't get up."

"Then please take a look. My eyes feel uncomfortable." Aunt Gui finished her greetings and explained her purpose, "He made some snacks for Miss Kou to try."

Speaking of that, she was a little worried: "Is Miss Kou fine?"

Will my eyes hurt too?

"Their boss is doing well. Shitou, go and tell the boss that the aunt who brought Situdu to her is here."

Isn't the boss a bad person? All fifty thousand taels of red money were lost to him and the shopkeeper!

The boy was thinking sadly and suddenly smelled the aroma.

What he saw was a cup-sized pastry with a pastry-like edge and a red, tender and soft center, something he had never seen before.

"Come and try Auntie's leg skills." Auntie Gui said with a smile.

One look at the snack showed that it was delicious, so he was a fool to be polite. Liu Zhou thanked him and bit off most of it immediately.

After two bites, the little boy was so delicious that he said, "Auntie, what's the name of that snack?"

What kind of aunt is that? Isn’t that a real aunt?

Aunt Gui didn't answer, but Xin You arrived: "Aunt Gui is here."

"Miss Kou." Aunt Gui raised the basket in her lap, "The wine mentioned that time is ready. He brought it to me to try."

"Aunt Gui, please go with him to the east courtyard." Xinyou was also very happy to interact with Aunt Gui.

When Aunt Gui heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Kou must have known that she was with the Marquis. She was so enthusiastic. It seemed that the Marquis was very helpful.

Before following Xinyou to the east courtyard, Aunt Gui took out a few more snacks for Liu Zhou and Shitou to eat.

Before and after the east courtyard was divided, Xinyou asked Aunt Gui to go to the flower hall in front.

Aunt Gui took out the snacks and said, "That kind of snack is the best when made fresh. Miss Kou, try it."

Xin You looked at the snacks with large mouths, and suppressed the waves in Dong's heart: "Is that the puff pastry milk cake?"

Aunt Gui was stunned and her eyes looked strange: "How did Miss Kou know that the snack was called crispy milk cake?"

She didn't realize it herself, and her voice was trembling when she asked that question.
