Xiao Ruxue had already finished eating a bunch of candied haws, and felt that this was her destiny food.
The wonderful taste touched the taste buds, sweet and sour, and after eating a bunch, Xiao Ruxue felt hungry.
At this time, she was holding the candied haws in one hand, and then her little nose moved slightly, and she smelled a scent.
It's not the scent of rouge and gouache.
It's a smell that makes your mouth water when you smell it!
It should be a meaty flavor!
Following the scent, Xiao Ruxue followed the smell and walked over. She saw a casserole.
It was still steaming on a brazier.
So Xiao Ruxue used the wet cloth on the side to open the lid.
A burst of heat suddenly came out of the inside, and Xiao Ruxue's sight was revealed through the mist. There were clearly pieces of ribs in the pot!
Xiao Ruxue picked up the chopsticks next to her and couldn't help but pick up a piece of meat, blew on the hot air, and then eagerly put it into her mouth.
Um!
tasty!
Xiao Ruxue's eyes lit up instantly.
In the past, I only knew that Xu Qing was good at writing poems and lyrics, but I had no idea that he had such great cooking skills.
This kind of craftsmanship cannot be compared to even the royal chef in the palace!
Xiao Ruxue couldn't help but pick up another piece and put it in her mouth.
At this moment, Xu Qing walked in from outside, followed by Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing and said happily: "What's the name of your ribs? It's delicious!"
Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Ruxue in the kitchen and couldn't help but be stunned: "Xiaoxue? When did you come?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Just now."
As he spoke, he put the bunch of candied haws in his hand into his mouth.
At this moment, Xu Qing quickly snatched the candied haws from Xiao Ruxue's hand, but he couldn't let her eat it again. If she continued to eat it, she would not be able to go to the palace to ask for a reward.
Xiao Ruxue saw that the candied haws in her hand suddenly disappeared, and her eyes suddenly became aggrieved. Due to the huge difference in height between Xu Qing and Xu Qing, she could only jump up and down, and stretched her hands upward desperately, trying to jump up and pull Xu Qing away.
Qing snatched the bunch of candied haws from her and took it back.
"Hmm - um -, why are you grabbing my candied haws?!"
Xu Qing held down Xiao Ruxue's little head to calm her bouncing, and said, "I heard that your father offered a reward of one hundred taels of silver for you to eat?"
Xiao Ruxue's little tongue licked the leftover soup from the sweet and sour pork ribs at the corner of her mouth, and asked doubtfully: "Is there any?"
Xiao Ye nodded behind him and said: "It's true!"
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye and said, "Actually, I have an idea..."
…
At the table in the courtyard
Because most of the cash the three of them have now has been spent on purchasing materials for the bookstore, they really need a sum of money to meet daily expenses and pay the salaries of the bookstore craftsmen.
So Xu Qing sat aside and looked at Xiao Ye, who was sitting beside him, and Xiao Ruxue, who was lying on the table aggrievedly because Xu Qing had snatched the candied haws, and said: "Look, if I treat the princess's anorexia
Now that the disease is cured and the princess is eating well, we can divide the one hundred taels of silver that the prince has rewarded me with. What do you think?"
When Xiao Ye heard about dividing the money, he immediately became energetic. He looked at Xu Qing and said, "Dividing the money?! I think it will work!"
Then he asked doubtfully: "It's just...how should we divide this money?"
Xiao Ruxue also sat up and hummed naturally: "Of course we divide it according to four, four and two! Xu Qing and I take four! You take two!"
Then Xiao Ruxue thought for a while and said: "By the way, you still owe me twenty-five taels of silver, plus another five taels of interest, so your twenty-five taels of silver will be considered as repayment to me first.
You still owe me ten taels of silver, and you have to pay it back next month."
Xiao Ye's eyes widened as he listened to Xiao Ruxue's words.
As a younger sister, I have to figure it all out, and in the end, nothing will happen to me!
No! Nothing happened!
I even owed this sister ten taels of silver!
Is there any more justice?
Xiao Ye looked at his sister and said, "Sister, how about you give me some more time?"
Xiao Ruxue turned her head and hummed: "Brothers will have to settle accounts tomorrow, it's impossible!"
Xiao Ye defended: "But we are not brothers, we are brothers and sisters."
Xiao Ruxue exposed her two cute tiger teeth and looked at Xiao Ye fiercely, saying: "Brothers and sisters also have to settle accounts!"
Xiao Ruxue had full skill points when fighting other people except when she faced Xu Qing.
No longer paying attention to Xiao Ye, who wanted to default on the debt for no reason, Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing again and said: "I want to eat the ribs just now after I receive the reward!"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "When you have money, you can eat as much as you want."
Xiao Ruxue said again: "Then I still want to eat the candied haws just now!"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "You can have as many as you want."
Xiao Ruxue jumped down from her seat, pulled Xu Qing and said: "Then let's go quickly! I haven't eaten enough yet!"
Xu Qing was almost staggered by the strength in Xiao Ruxue's hands. The strength in this little girl's hands was too strong!
This made Xu Qing feel like he might not be able to defeat Xiao Ruxue, a little girl...
Even if a man can't beat a woman, he can't beat a girl...
This made Xu Qing feel very hurt and a little uncomfortable.
Isn’t there a normal woman around him?!
A cold and cute female boss with great martial arts skills.
A tsundere, fierce and cute little princess who is also good at martial arts.
Don't you deserve to have that kind of virtuous and talented woman who is as gentle as water and proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Xu Qing was almost pulled out of the house by Xiao Ruxue before she stopped.
Xu Qing said: "You go back home first. I can't go with you, otherwise everyone will feel that we have joined forces to defraud your father of the money..."
Xiao Ruxue was smart and quickly figured out the logic. The two of them appearing together seemed like they had formed a group to go to Prince Xian's Mansion to swindle money.
So Xiao Ruxue raised her head and looked at Xu Qing and said, "Then what should we do?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. You go home obediently first, and Brother Xiao will lead me to the palace in half an hour. In this way, I will be the person recommended by Brother Xiao, and there will be no need to treat you anymore."
Problem."
…
Prince Xian's Mansion
Princess Xian looked at Xiao Ruxue who ran in from outside and said with some distress: "Xue'er, I asked the kitchen to make some red dates and lotus seed soup. Look how much weight you have lost in the past three days? Concubine asked the servants
Bring the porridge here so you can have some."
Xiao Ruxue shook her head and said: "No need, concubine, Xue'er is not hungry, Xue'er has returned to her room..."
half an hour later
palace gate
When the palace guards saw the person coming, they immediately bowed and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand casually and said: "No courtesy."
Then he looked at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu, let's go in."
