Chapter 979 Talent (2)

Summer is the most hated season for jujube, not one of them. Every summer is a torment for her, but this year is even worse. Because her body has not recovered, Yuxi forbids her to eat cold food.

Zaozao looked at Liu'er and said in a low voice, "My good sister, I really want to eat milkǎi red bean smoothie, you can make it for me!" Liu'er made a milkǎi red bean smoothie half a month ago. Jujube happened to come to Biqin Garden, and when he saw it, he ate half a bowl. Before the injury, Zao Zao could eat milk and red bean smoothie every year, but she thinks this time is the best. For this reason, every time I see Liu Er in the past half month, I have to say, let her do it again.

Liu'er was very firm and said, "No, you are not in good health and can't eat cold things."

"I got well early, mother is too cautious." Even if I live in the bamboo garden, it is still too hot. She couldn't even eat, and Mammy made her some soup and water every day. Every time she finished drinking, she was sweating all over her head, and she was so uncomfortable.

Zao Zao's entanglement skills are still very powerful, Liu'er finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Sister, if you let mother know that I give you smoothies, even I will be scolded."

"If I don't tell you and you don't tell me, how would Mother know? Unless the maid in your yard complains to Mother." The people around her are absolutely at ease: "Hmph, whoever dares to complain, I will beat her to death." Your slaves are not worth it.

Unable to resist Zao Zao, Liu'er finally made a milk and red bean smoothie. But just in case she ate too much jujube, she only made a small bowl, and she ate half a bowl herself.

Taking a silver spoon and putting it in his mouth, Zao Zao chewed slowly with his eyes closed. After eating, Zao Zao opened his eyes and said, "It's really delicious." The key is that it feels cool from the top of the head to the soles of the feet.

Liu'er laughed and said, "How can you be so exaggerated. Eldest sister, it's better to eat less of these cold things, it's not good for your health." Even she herself ate very little. Because the mother said that eating too much cold food in the girl's house will cause the palace to be cold, which will affect the fertility in the future. Of course, Mammy also told Zao Zao about the same thing, but it's a pity that Zao Zao didn't take it to heart.

Zao Zao said with a bitter face: "How can I eat it every day!" Now she is not allowed to eat cold food, so she has to eat it secretly.

The two sisters thought that Yuxi would not find out that they sealed the maid's mouth. But she didn't know, Yuxi would know after an hour.

After dinner, Yuxi asked Brother Xuan to go back to her yard, leaving Zaozao and Liuer behind. Yuxi smiled and asked: "How is it, isn't the smoothie you eat secretly delicious?"

Zao Zao shrank her head and said, "Mother, it's so hot that I can't even eat my rice. Mother, look at me, after eating the bean paste, I used half a bowl of rice for dinner."

Liu Er was amazed at Zao Zao's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, anyway, she would not be able to do it.

Yu Xi deliberately said with a face of self-blame: "It's all mother's fault to say so. If mother had let you eat smoothies earlier, you wouldn't have lost your appetite."

If Yu Xi scolded her or punished her severely, Zao Zao would not be afraid. But Yuxi looked like this, but she was a little embarrassed: "Mother, don't be angry, I won't eat it again." Seeing that Yuxi still didn't speak, Zaozao immediately raised her hand and swore: "Mother, don't worry, I really don't care. I won’t eat any more. If I eat any more, my marriage with Jinyu will be ruined.”

Neither is Yu Xi angry, nor is she smiling.

Liu'er blamed herself and said: "Mother, I was also at fault, I shouldn't have indulged my elder sister."

Yuxi pointed to Zaozao and said: "You copy the "Heart Sutra" fifty times, and give it to me for three days. In addition, during these three days, you are not allowed to eat meat." After finishing speaking, she looked at Liu'er and said, "Go back and face the wall and think about it. "

Neither of them dared to object.

Liu'er changed the subject and asked, "Mother, it's almost September, should Dad and Ah Hao come back?" This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was the most deserted one in her memory.

"I received a letter from your father in the afternoon. Ah Hao wanted to visit Jinling, and your father agreed. From now on, he will not be able to get home until the end of September at the earliest." If he stays in Jinling for a few more days, it will probably not be until October. Return to Pickaxe City.

Zao Zao was a little depressed: "Mom, when can I go to Jiangnan again?" Ever since she read Qiyou's letter, she felt that she was so stupid. , What a loss.

Yuxi smiled and said: "After you get married, you won't be stopped wherever you want to go."

"After getting married, there is no time!" She is currently recovering from her injuries, otherwise she would have returned to the army long ago. When I return to the army, I don't have so much time.

Liu Er asked: "Mother, will Qiyou come back with daddy?" The happiest is Qiyou, who has been playing in Jiangnan for so long.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Well, we will come back together."

On the way back, Zao Zao said with a dark face: "Liu'er, you must find out who is the one who told the secret. You can't keep such a person by your side."

Liu'er said in a low voice: "As long as the mother wants to know, she can't hide anything in the palace." This is why she is not angry.

Of course, Zao Zao knew this too: "But if no one informs, why would mother be so busy asking about this?"

Liu Er said: "It takes so many ingredients to make smoothies, it's impossible to hide it, and you are in my yard. You don't need to think about it, you must eat the smoothies when they are ready."

Zao Zao stopped talking.

As soon as Qiyou returned to the Han Mansion, when he saw Yunqing, he said, "Father, I think someone is going to harm Big Brother." As for him, others didn't take him seriously. Thinking of this, Qiyou felt a slight sadness.

Yun Qing's face darkened in an instant, and he asked, "What's the matter? Tell me clearly?" Thinking that Yan Wushuang didn't give up, and wanted to harm his Brother Hao again.

Qiyou said: "I feel that someone is following us. Dad, what do you think about this matter?" In fact, Qiyou's intention at the beginning was not to tell Yunqing about this matter and they would solve it by themselves. Anyway, they have so many guards, but Qihao didn't agree. Last time, she was scolded by Yuxi for making a bad idea, but if she kept it a secret again this time, I'm afraid my mother would be furious. Of course, the most important thing is that Qi Hao is not willing to take risks. Once there is an accident, it is too late to regret.

After listening to it, Yun Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Without even thinking about it, Qiyou said, "Naturally, we want to find out the people behind the scenes." He has been here for so long and these people haven't shown up, so how can he let it go now that he has the opportunity.

"No, it's too dangerous." Even if he was in danger, Yunqing was unwilling to let Qihao and Qiyou take the risk.

Although Qihao didn't want to take risks, he didn't want to let the people who followed them go: "Father, isn't Yang Duoming in Jiangnan? Let him catch the people behind the scenes."

Yun Qing said: "In recent years, the imperial court has caught a lot of secret operations hidden in the south of the Yangtze River. As for those that are hidden deeper, it is difficult to dig out." Those who want to harm them must be arrested, but they cannot be in danger. .

Yun Qing thought for a while and said, "You should discuss this matter with your uncle!" After all, Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan, and he is more familiar with the situation here than they are.

Qihao and Qiyou nodded together.

After breakfast on the second day, Yun Qing took Qi Hao and Qi You out. First go to the street to buy gifts for Yu Xi and Liu Er. After shopping, it's already lunch time.

The father and son went to Liuxiangyuan, the most famous restaurant in Jinling. Sitting in the small box, Qiyou explained with a smile: "The beef pot stickers here are very delicious." After speaking, Qiyou explained to Qihao in detail: "The top part of this beef pot sticker is very tender, and the bottom part is crispy. The minced beef is also very delicious. Brother, I guarantee you will want to eat it again.”

Soon, the beef pot stickers were delivered. After eating one, Qihao frowned and said, "What does it taste like? Why is it sweet and salty?"

"It's this taste that makes people have an endless aftertaste." After speaking, Qiyou picked up another one and started eating.

After eating two, Yun Qing commented: "It's not as good as mutton dumplings." The mutton dumplings made by Mama Bai, everyone in the palace loves to eat.

"It would be great if the second brother and the third brother were here." The triplets have similar tastes. Brother Yu likes to eat, Brother Rui and Brother Xuan will also like to eat.

After a while, the main course was served. Seeing Xiaoer serving the dishes, Qiyou suddenly asked, "The dishes I ate here last time were also served by you."

Xiao Er said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness is very memorable, last time I brought you food." Xiao Er couldn't get close to the father and son, and the guards took over the dishes when they arrived at the door.

Qiyou asked with a smile: "Has your restaurant recruited new staff recently?"

"No." Seeing Qiyou's smile, Xiaoer became more courageous: "The errands in our restaurant also earn two taels of silver a month, and they even take care of one meal." People will go out. Since there is no shortage of people, naturally they will not recruit any more. And the restaurant recruits people, not by posting notices to recruit people. Even an errand guy has to have a reliable referral, and then a guarantor.

The father and son had enough to eat and drink, and were ready to return to the Han Mansion. Because they didn't book the entire restaurant, when they went downstairs, apart from the guards they brought, there were still three tables in the hall.

Qiyou scanned the people at these three tables, one table was two men with a little boy, the other table was a couple, and the last table was four men wearing blue clothes. Looking at the attire of these four middle-aged men, they should be the entourage brought by the guests in the box.

Qiyou smiled and said to Yunqing: "Father, this sauce-flavored pork ribs rice is really delicious, I want to eat it tomorrow." If you are interested, you will know that he is a snack.

Qihao said with a smile: "If you eat too much, you will get tired." He also thinks today's sauce-flavored pork ribs rice is delicious.

"It's such a delicious thing, no matter how many times I eat it, I won't get tired of it." It's not like eating every day, and I have to go home in two days, and I won't be able to eat it even if I want to.

Thinking of this, Qiyou said: "Father, why don't we find a cook here to go back." Mama Bai's craftsmanship is very good, but after so many years of eating, she occasionally gets tired of it, and multiple cooks can change the taste.

"Let's talk about this later!" He planned to go back in two days, but he couldn't find a satisfactory cook in just two or three days. Of course, in his capacity, if he wanted to take away the chef from Liuxiang Garden and go back to the boss, he wouldn't dare to raise any objections. It's just that Yunqing is not bullying others. Of course, the most important thing is that Yun Qing is not a person who cares about food and drink.

Qiyou's face was full of disappointment.

The father and son walked out of Liuxiang Garden, Qiyou lowered his voice and said to Yu Zhi: "I think there is something wrong with the guests at the first table, you let people stare at them."

Yu Zhi hurriedly ordered to go on.

After getting into the carriage, Qihao asked: "Ayou, what's wrong with the guests at the first table?" He also paid attention to the situation in the hall just now, the first table was filled with grandparents and grandchildren, so he didn't see any problem.

"That child is very similar to the old man, but not at all like the young man." After a pause, Qiyou continued: "When we went downstairs, the old man looked up at us, and then immediately lowered his head, while the young man The man in the azure-colored clothes didn't look up, I think his reaction is a bit abnormal."

"I think that couple is a bit abnormal." As far as he knew, even if a lady from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River came to Liuxiang Garden for dinner, she would definitely eat in the private room, not in the hall. And the family who can come to Liuxiang Garden for dinner must not be bad, so this couple is a little suspicious.

Qiyou shook his head and said, "This couple are businessmen from other places in the south of the Yangtze River. They should come to Liuxiang Garden for dinner because of their reputation."

Qihao was very surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

"You forgot, when we went shopping on the first day, the two of them were unloading goods in front of a business. At that time, they were talking in a low voice, but I couldn't understand that." They were the same, and the two of them were chattering incomprehensibly incomprehensible bird language, so he took a look twice.

The result was exactly as Qiyou expected, the couple were merchants from Lingnan. As for the other four men in blue clothes, they were servants of the chief envoy Jiang's family. At that time, the second young wife of the Jiang family was eating in a private room.

After hearing Yu Zhi's report, Yun Qing couldn't help thinking that when Yu Xi told him about it, he didn't take it seriously. Upon seeing this, Yuxi said that if he cultivated well, Qihao's talent would come in handy. Now, it might come in handy.

"What about the guests at the first table? Is there any problem?" When he said this, Qihao looked at Yu Zhi expectantly.

Yun Qing was not willing to take risks, but because he wanted to buy gifts for Yu Xi and Liu Er, he took the two brothers Qi Hao out for this trip. After coming out this time, Yunqing will not let the two brothers come out again.

Yu Zhi glanced at Qiyou, then turned to Yunqing and said, "The man made an excuse to go to the toilet after we came out, and then disappeared."

Qiyou was very depressed and asked, "Run away?"

"He was just running errands. Our people followed him and arrested the people who ordered him." Yu Zhi received Qiyou's words and arranged people at several exits of the restaurant. Because I was told not to scare the snake, that's why I grabbed the person who joined the joint.

Yun Qing said with a dark face: "We must dig out the people behind the scenes." Apart from assassination and poisoning, Yan Wushuang couldn't use other tricks.

Although it was said that Yunqing brought the two Qihao brothers out, Han Jianming was still worried, fearing that something might happen. He was relieved to hear that the person came back safe and sound.

Han Gao said: "My lord, my lord has arrested two people. I don't know if the one who was arrested is the one who followed Shizi and the others?"

Han Jianming said: "Your Majesty will take care of this matter." With Yun Qing around, it's not his turn to take the lead in these matters.

Ps: I was stepping on the melon rind. At that time, the child was crying so much when his father hugged him. I wanted to catch up and hug him, but I didn't pay attention to my feet. But some people are really too lacking in public morality, how can these melon skins be thrown away! (to be continued)
