Because the wine was indeed mellow and delicious, Helian Bingshuang couldn't help but drink a few more sips. He didn't feel anything at all on the spot. Who knew that when he was blown by the wind when he went out, he felt unusually irritable. He sat in the carriage and endured it.
He couldn't help but pull his collar, and whispered to Chang's mother: "Chang's mother, this wine is indeed very powerful. I feel a little dizzy. Let's go to the inn and stay!"
Seeing Helian Bingshuang's red face, Chang's mother couldn't help but feel a little worried. She quickly asked Xiaojiu to drive to the inn, and then helped Helian Bingshuang out of the carriage.
When going upstairs, Helian Bingshuang felt that the stairs were shaking. Chang's mother was afraid that Helian Bingshuang would lose his bearings, so she kept supporting Helian Bingshuang with one hand and covering Helian Bingshuang's face with a handkerchief.
I walked up the stairs diagonally.
After placing Helian Bingshuang on the bed, Chang's mother carefully removed her shoes, socks and coat. Looking at the young lady's sleeping appearance, Chang's mother couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that the young lady wants to drink to relieve her sorrow?" She said
He said he didn’t believe that the wild woman was Miss Chu, but after all, it got to his heart and that’s why he got drunk?”
Seeing Helian Bingshuang's intoxicated appearance, Chang Ma felt more and more that her guess was good, and she couldn't help scolding Chu Yiqing dozens of times.
"Sneeze!" Chu Yiqing was drinking tea with Shangguan Yu in the hall when he suddenly couldn't help but sneeze.
"What? Are you suffering from the cold?" Shangguan Yu asked with concern.
Chu Yiqing shook his head, but before he could say anything, Ying Qian brought the tea in. While carefully placing the tea cup, he said crisply: "I thought, scolded, and was cold. Miss, what you did just now is because someone missed you!"
Before Yingqian could finish speaking, Chu Yiqing sneezed. Yingqian couldn't help but froze, which made Shangguan Yu burst out laughing, "Now why didn't you say that someone was scolding your lady?"
Yingqian blushed and had no choice but to go down.
Shangguan Yu also stood up at this time and said: "It's getting late, I should go!"
Chu Yiqing stood up and said goodbye: "Be careful!"
Shangguan Yu understood the meaning of her words, nodded and strode out of the hall.
Outside the door, the waiter neatly lifted the car curtain, and Shangguan Yu bowed to enter.
At the door, Chu Yiqing stood smiling to see him off.
Shangguan Yu opened the car curtain and stared at the back on the steps, sighed quietly, and finally said: "Even if I get married, the words I promised you before will still count!"
Chu Yiqing was stunned. Before he could understand, Shangguan Yu decisively lowered the curtain and let the servant drive away.
"Could it be about protecting my property?" Chu Yiqing muttered to himself. After thinking about it, he realized that he hadn't received a letter from Jin Yu for a long time. Counting the days, Mrs. Huangfu should have returned by now.
I went to my village, but no one sent me a letter?
Thinking of this, Chu Yiqing felt a little anxious. He didn't even bother sending him to the official palace. He turned around and went into the house. He wanted to arrange for Fourteen to go back and take a look, but something happened at home!
Shangguan Yu was sitting in the carriage, and when he was about to turn around the street, he suddenly made a decision: "If you are still here, then I will not get married. Even if the person you like is not me, I will be willing to look at you all my life."
"If you are not here, it means we are really destined to be together!"
Shangguan Yu paused, and seemed to have finally made up his mind. He suddenly leaned out and looked back, only to see no one on the steps not far away. Only two extinguished red lanterns were swaying in the spring breeze.
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and finally closed the curtain.
The wheels slowly carried Shangguanyu farther and farther...
In the yard, Fourteenth had already hitched up the carriage, and Lady Bell gave Fourteenth a bag of dry food.
"Fourteen, you have to work harder on the road. Go early and come back early to see what big things happened at home!" Chu Yiqing couldn't help but warned him again. He said that in Chu Han, there were Shangguan Yu and Li Huang.
In Longtang, there should be no problems with business or people. However, Jin Yu's letter has not come yet, and she is really worried. After all, she has offended the five major families. If the five major families start from Chu Han,
…
The more Chu Yiqing thought about it, the more worried he became, urging Fourteen to go out as soon as possible.
"Is this Miss Chu's house?" Suddenly, someone called the door outside. Yingqian hurried to open the door. After a while, she happily came in with a letter: "Miss, you don't have to worry. Look, there is a letter from my wife!"
"
"Really?" Chu Yiqing quickly took it and looked at the handwriting on the letter. It was indeed written by Jin Yu himself. He immediately told Fourteen to go back and rest while he took the letter and entered the door to quickly open it and read it.
.
After reading the letter, Chu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. Jin Yu said in the letter that everything was safe at home, whether it was the shop in the city or the land in the countryside, everything was safe and sound. The reason why he hadn't written for so long was because
Ah Jin and Ah Yin were sick. This time they were both sick at the same time. They were sick for six or seven days at a time. Jin Yu was really busy and exhausted, so the letter was delayed for a few days. Just when he was about to send the letter, old man Huangfu came back.
So it was a few days late, and it took so long to arrive.
At the end of the letter, there was also some words from Mrs. Huangfu, generally reporting that they were safe, saying that Ah Jin and Ah Yin just suffered from colds, coughs and fevers. Anyway, there were doctors at home, so Chu Yiqing
do not worry.
After Chu Yiqing read the letter, he imagined Jin Yu holding a busy figure in one hand and couldn't help but sigh. What this mother is most afraid of is that her child will get sick. A Bao's health is still good, although it is not as good as last time.
The boat trip was tiring, but because the water was flowing all day long, he coughed a few times, and nothing serious happened in the future. Now A Bao has become accustomed to the customs of Lucheng and is very strong. Thinking of this, Chu Yi
Qing felt that it was a good thing to let Mrs. Huangfu go back. No matter how capable Xia Zhi and the others were, they were not relatives after all. If these two children fell ill, wouldn't Jin Yu be so anxious?
The more Chu Yiqing thought about it, the more worried he became. He put down the letter and wrote a reply. He asked about Ajin and Ayin's condition and asked Shi Shi to send the letter quickly. However, once the letter left, Chu Yiqing's heart was also taken away.
If she didn't want to wait for the spring wheat to be harvested before going back, Chu Yiqing also wanted to go back. There was no point in taking A Bao outside alone.
The next day, Helian Bingshuang officially visited Hua Mansion, but she was not visiting Mr. Hua, but Mr. Hua's cook Hua Tian.
"What do you want from Master Hua?" Hua Gen stood at the door, like a general guarding the door, waving his hands and saying: "If you want to come here to learn cooking, I advise you not to think about it. Our Master Hua Tian has already accepted Chu Ji.
The master of the restaurant is an apprentice, if you want to eat flowers and vegetables, go to Chuji Restaurant!"
"You little boy, are those white eyes of yours? Don't you know who our lady is, what she looks like, and what kind of cooking skills are you here to learn? We are here to find someone!" Chang Ma said no.
Yue stepped forward and scolded.
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" As soon as Hua Gen heard that he was not here to learn cooking, he immediately took another look, and happened to see Helian Bingshuang getting off the carriage with the help of Chang Ma.
Today, Helian Bingshuang wore a red double-breasted dress, which was embroidered with purple and gold silk with exquisite patterns of butterflies and flowers. Her eyebrows were like indigo, her lips were like painted red, and her black hair was combed into a new bun with hanging clouds.
A pair of Yunnan red phoenix hairpins were inserted sideways, and bright tortoiseshell earrings hung by her ears. As she moved, the pearls swayed slightly, which indeed made her look a bit wealthy.
"This little brother, we have already said that we are looking for Master Huatian!" Helian Bingshuang raised his red phoenix eyes and smiled slowly.
Only then did Huagan react, scratching his head, seeming a little embarrassed: "Girl, to tell you the truth, Master Huatian doesn't just accept guests casually, so I'm afraid I can't help you with this!"
Helian Bingshuang thought for a while, then suddenly took off the Yunnan red phoenix hairpin from his head and handed it to Chang's mother, asking Chang's mother to pass it to Hua Gen: "Please tell me, Master Huatian will definitely meet me when he sees this phoenix hairpin."
!”
Chang Ma put the phoenix hairpin in Hua Gen's hand angrily, and Hua Gen could only nod his head and hurried to the door.
A quarter of an hour later, Hua Gen ran out again like a whirlwind and invited Helian Bingshuang to come in.
"Xiaojiu, wait outside!" Helian Bingshuang ordered calmly and led Chang Ma into the yard through the back door.
As soon as you enter the back door, you will see the garden. At this time, the garden is so beautiful. Helian Bingshuang couldn't help but admire it.
Hua Gen whispered, "Miss, please keep your voice down. The master is still on his lunch break. If he knows that Master Huatian asked you to come in..." Hua Gen stopped talking and quickly signaled Helian Bingshuang to be careful.
Helian Bingshuang nodded and followed Hua Gen to the wing in the backyard, but he didn't expect that Hua Tian was already waiting for him.
Huatian is an old man in his fifties, slightly fat and rosy. When he saw Helian Bingshuang, he narrowed his eyes and nodded: "You have a bit of your mother's style back then! You can't be wrong!"
"Master Yu, my mother often mentioned you before she was alive. She also told me that if I am lucky enough to see Master Yu again in the future, I must honor him on my mother's behalf!" Helian Bingshuang said immediately.
"There's no need for filial piety. You traveled thousands of miles to find me, so you can't just be filial to me, right?" Hua Tian waved his hand lazily.
Helian Bingshuang was stunned. She didn't expect Huatian to be so straightforward, but she didn't dare to tell her purpose. She just said: "I'm really just here for a visit. I tasted the flower meal at Chuji Restaurant yesterday. I guessed that it was Yu."
The craftsmanship of the master, so..."
"Have you tried it? How is it?" Huatian asked.
"It's not bad, because except for the fried chrysanthemums, the other dishes are all new dishes. I have never tasted the most authentic ones, so I don't know how to evaluate them, but the fried chrysanthemums have the master's seven-success power!" He
Lian Bingshuang said truthfully.
"Yes, yes, you have only tasted the fried chrysanthemums made by your mother once, and you can tell the difference. It is indeed the emperor's tongue!" Huatian nodded.
Helian Bingshuang glanced around and couldn't help but said: "Master Yu, you were famous back then and were the emperor's favorite chef. Now you have to settle here. Isn't it aggrieved?"
Huatian shook his head: "I have been used to it for more than 20 years. Besides, fame and fortune are like clouds. I am already half buried in the earth. What else is there to miss?"
"Master Yu doesn't have any family?" Helian Bingshuang asked again.
Huatian laughed, pointed at the flowers and plants in front of the door and said, "They are my family!"
Helian Bingshuang said sadly: "Actually, my mother wanted to stay with Master back then, so Master Yu had to leave..."
"Okay, let's forget about the past. I'm living a very good life now!" Huatian interrupted Helian Bingshuang's words lightly, "My master doesn't like strangers to visit. I'm sorry, I will send you out!"
Helian Bingshuang suddenly asked: "Since Mr. Hua doesn't like strangers so much, why did he fall in love with Miss Chu at first sight? He was able to persuade Master Yu. If I remember correctly, my mother said that she said Master Yu
I once swore that my mother would be your only disciple!"
Huatian stopped and turned around slowly, taking a look at Helian Bingshuang: "She told you a lot of things!"
"Mother has always been thinking about you!" Helian Bingshuang slowly stretched out his hands and revealed the phoenix hairpin, "Mother also said that you personally gave this phoenix hairpin to her..."
Huatian's expression was a little moved. He raised his eyes and looked at Helian Bingshuang: "What exactly do you want me to do?"
"I want to get to know Miss Chu!" Helian Bingshuang whispered, "I want to ask Master Yu for an introduction!"
Huatian was stunned: "Is it that simple?"
Helian Bingshuang nodded: "It's that simple! But I'm not threatening Master Yu to do this, I just want to do Master Yu a favor..."
"Okay, I understand. I will try my best to arrange it. You tell me your address. After the arrangement is returned, I will ask Huogen to find you!" Huatian raised his hand to stop her from talking.
Helian Bingshuang nodded quickly, gave the address, and then left in a hurry.
On the carriage back, Helian Bingshuang couldn't help but feel a little strange when he thought about Huatian's attitude. When his mother mentioned Master Yu before she died, she seemed to have a close relationship with Master Yu, but today Master Yu's attitude is very subtle, it seems...
…
"Chang Ma, you have been in the house for a long time, do you know what happened between mother and Master Yu?" Helian Bingshuang turned around and asked.
Chang Ma's face looked a little ugly, and she whispered: "Why did the young lady ask these things? This old slave has forgotten it!"
Helian Bingshuang was stunned and looked at Chang's mother strangely. After a long time, Chang's mother said: "I just heard that Madam had a crush before she married into the Murong Mansion. But because Madam and Master are two families who are married, so
…”
"Could it be that the person my mother likes most is Master Yu? But that's not right. Master Yu is my mother's son. How could it be..." Helian Bingshuang was stunned.
"Miss, please don't think too much. The people we sent to the capital will be back soon. By then, it will be clear who Miss Chu is. And the hypocritical Miss Chu San will also know who she is."
You have your intention! Miss, there is really no need to go to great lengths to get close to her!" Chang Ma said disdainfully.
"Didn't you say that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in all battles? Although I am not sure about the relationship between Miss Chu and the young master, there is one thing. This Miss Chu is very attractive. I have been here in Lucheng for only two days. Listen,
Everything I saw here was about Miss Chu, I really want to make her a friend!" Helian Bingshuang said.
"Miss, what if that Miss Chu is really the wild woman that Mr. Shangguan lives outside, will you still be friends with her?" Chang Ma asked in shock.
"Then I have to do it. At least I should know what Mr. Shangguan likes about her, right?" Helian Bingshuang smiled slowly, "Okay, since Master Yu has agreed, he will definitely make arrangements. Let's wait at the inn!"
Although Chang Ma was reluctant, she could only obey her orders.
These days, A Bao plays with Hua Qi all day long. Chu Yiqing is also relieved. While there is still time before the wheat harvest, he focuses on the workshop. A few days later, the first batch of spicy cabbage made in the workshop is officially delivered to Chu Yiqing.
Chu Ji Restaurant started selling it, and it quickly attracted a group of diners because of its crispness, freshness and spicy taste. The reputation of Chu Ji Restaurant was once again shocked.
The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and it’s the day when the Flower Mansion opens its annual garden to enjoy flowers. It is said that on this day, the Flower Mansion will open, but it is only open to those with status and background, so all the noble ladies in the city spend this day as if they can
I feel proud to receive the invitation from Hua Mansion.
"Miss, the invitation sent by Huafu was personally led by the prefect's wife this time. There must be a lot of people going!" Ying Qian looked at the unique invitation and couldn't help but said, "Look at the invitation.
The flowers are painted so vividly that it looks like a flower-viewing party!"
Chu Yiqing was not interested. The workshop had recently been formalized. She wanted to sell food such as spicy cabbage and preserved eggs to the capital, but she had no way out and was worried. Li Huang would certainly be able to help, but she
We can't bother Li Huang all the time. Besides, these are just snacks and can't be put on the table.
"Miss, what are you going to wear on the day of the flower viewing party? If you ask me, just wear that goose skirt, the color is bright!" Yingqian opened Chu Yiqing's wardrobe and picked out a dress that Li Huang had recently given her.
Here come the clothes.
Chu Yiqing has a lot of clothes, but many of them are unworn. On weekdays, he likes plain clothes, and does not wear hairpins on his hair. He is very simple. Occasionally, he will change into white clothes when visiting guests, but he also
Still seems monotonous.
"Who said I was going?" Chu Yiqing didn't even look at it, "I'm not talking to those noble ladies, and there's nothing to talk about. I might as well go to Zhujiazui and have a look!"
In the past few days, Chu Yiqing would always think of the treasure map given to her by Lady Ling Dang. If the spiritual spring was really mined to irrigate the land, maybe Chuhan would become the land of rice. But unfortunately, these lands are now
It's the Emperor's. If she opens it, it will only be an advantage to the Emperor, so we'd better bear to talk about it.
"Oh, Miss, I have to go. This time, Mrs. Cheng is taking the lead. The person who came to deliver the letter from the Cheng Mansion just now said that their wife had repeatedly warned Miss that you must attend!" Yingqian said immediately.
Chu Yiqing had a headache. Mrs. Zeng's group had stopped, but Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Liang were visiting frequently. She always used various excuses to avoid seeing them. If she didn't go to the flower viewing party, it would really be unreasonable.
So I had to sigh and said, "It would be great if mom was here, she could handle it for me!"
