auspicious time has come

Chapter 48 Does She Have Other Plans?

Qi Qing heard tears welling up in her eyes.

She seems to understand the meaning of Ji girl's words.

Miss Ji helped her because she was knowledgeable and capable, and Mrs. Miao helped her because she supported Miaoji Steamed Bun Shop by herself... and she, who has nothing, can only be the beneficiary.

"Miss Qi is also very powerful." The girl's dark eyes were full of affirmation: "Miss has a lot of fate, but she still has the courage to move forward. This tenacity is incomparable to ordinary people, so the days to come will definitely surpass you." The better."

Therefore, for those who are struggling in the dark, sometimes all they lack is hope.

Qi Qing was a little dazed, since she was a child, she had almost never heard any words of affirmation.

There seemed to be more strength rising from the bottom of her heart, she held back her tears, and once again said earnestly, "Qi Qing, thank you Miss Ji."

Hengyu stopped talking, glanced at the two food boxes in Jiji's hands, and asked with a smile, "But do you have a portion for Lord Xiao?"

"Yes..." Qi Qing smiled restrainedly: "These snacks are really not a thank you gift, and please ask Miss Ji to pass them on to Lord Hou..."

Heng Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I think Lord Hou will definitely feel this gratitude."

Xiaohou looks serious on the outside, but he has a keen mind and has the quality of being able to empathize with others.

This point can be seen from his phrase "there are many injustices in the world, take your time" that day.

"Yes, Lord Hou cares about the common people and treats them equally, but what about the living Bodhisattvas in Yingzhou City?" Qi Qing's uneasiness disappeared a lot. Looking at the slim girl in front of her, she thought of some people from Beijing who came to replace her in her ears. When General Xiao talked about the matchmaker's rumors, he couldn't help saying seriously: "Miss Ji, Master Hou is really good."

Heng Yu nodded in agreement objectively: "Yes, Master Hou is indeed very good."

Seeing that the girl only agrees, Qi Qing is a little dumbfounded.

She didn't mean to praise Lord Marquis together with Miss Ji...

But some words are not suitable for her to say too much.

Seeing that the girl looked a little afraid of the cold wrapped in a cloak, she hurriedly said: "It's windy outside, Miss Ji, go in quickly."

Heng Yu nodded with a smile: "I'll go to the shop in the future and find a lady to talk to."

In the end, he added: "I will stay in Yingzhou for a long time. If my wife is in trouble, you can come to me at any time."

Qi Qing responded gratefully, saluted repeatedly, and then left.

"Girl, shall we send the snacks to Master Xiao?" On the way back, Jiji asked while holding a food box.

"No need, just let the female envoys in the courtyard see you off."

One is that she is suffering from the wind and cold, so it is not suitable for her to be in front of others.Secondly, if she personally delivered it, this General Xiao would have to wonder if she, a spy, had other intentions. Madam Qi would take a box of snacks, and she might be decapitated.

Thinking of this, I thought of Xiao Mu's aura of rejecting her thousands of miles away every day in order to clear the boundaries, but because of his character, he still wanted to help her in times of crisis, but was afraid of being relied on by her. Hengyu couldn't help sighing in her heart——

Such a big and strong Lord Xiao Hou is not only very good, but also very cute sometimes.

Suffering from the wind and cold, Heng Yu walked back to the courtyard briskly, but her mouth was slightly curved.

Jiji quickly found the female envoy in the courtyard: "This snack was sent by Mrs. Qi, and she made it herself, in order to thank Lord Hou for his help that day - I wonder if I can trouble my sister to go and send it to Lord Hou There?"

The female envoys were all pointed out by Mrs. Xiao, and all of them were easy to speak, so they immediately responded when they heard the words.

It's just that Xiao Mu's study room is not so easy to enter, especially at this time when Yan Jin is being entertained, so the maid only gave the food box to the attendant outside the study room.

And Xiao Mu's food and other things have to go through inspection, so after changing hands again and again, when the food box is brought to Xiao Mu by Meng Dazhu, the words that reach everyone's ears become——

"Master Hou, this is a dessert sent by Painter Ji. He said that he cooked it himself to thank Master Hou!"

Xiao Mu looked at the food box—Ji Hengyu...a snack made for him by himself?
"I didn't even know Ah Heng could make dim sum!" Yan Jin who was at the side sighed, "This is really the sun coming out from the west..."

Xiao Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

So, she seldom does it for others?

It's just such a show of favor, other than the so-called thank you, is there any other intention?
Over there, Yan Jin said with a sense of relief: "Today, after being honored by Master Hou, I can actually taste this girl's craftsmanship."

He was always cheeky and unrestrained, and it was nothing more than a box of snacks, Xiao Mu naturally signaled Meng Dazhu to open the food box, and placed the snacks on the tea table between Yan Jin and Yan Junshi.

"A Heng seldom cooks, and I don't know if the food I make can be eaten, so I will try it for Lord Hou first..." Yan Jin couldn't wait to pinch a piece of red bean cake and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up quickly: "Hmm... sweet but not greasy, dense and delicious... not bad! Master Hou also try it?"

Xiao Mu: "I don't like sweets, Lord Yan Lang, please help me."

Yan Jin nodded with a smile: "Since that's the case, I won't be polite."

His rudeness is indeed really rude——

Seeing him praising him while eating, Junshi Yan couldn't help but reach out his hand temptingly.

Seeing that Yan Junshi also gave affirmation, Yin Hai also tasted two pieces.

"I didn't expect Painter Ji to have such skills!"

"It's comparable to the best dim sum shop in the city..."

Looking at the few people eating around the tea table like a piggy, Xiao Mu glanced at the few snacks left.

He turned his head and looked at Meng Dazhu, who was also eager to join in: "Order, tell the kitchen to prepare afternoon food and wine for Mr. Yan—"

Just as Meng Dazhu was about to accept, Yan Jin hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your hospitality. It's just that Lord Hou is busy with work, so I don't want to bother you any more!"

Proper advance and retreat is the foundation of dealing with things.

He got up and saluted with a smile: "Today, I had the honor to have a chat with Lord Hou, and I feel more and more like a friend. When I come to the door to thank Lord Hou some other day, I hope I can have tea and chat with Lord Hou again."

Xiao Mu nodded slightly: "There will be many opportunities in the future."

Hearing this reply, the smile on Yan Jin's face grew wider: "I will take my leave today!"

Xiao Mu: "Yinhai, Dazhu, send off Lord Yan Lang."

"Yes."

Yin Hai is Xiao Mu's lieutenant general, and Meng Dazhu also has Xiao Mu's trust. Faced with this intentional or unintentional attention, Yan Jin can't see the slightest emotion on his face.

"This person is indeed very extraordinary..." Yan Junshi lowered his voice after Yan Jin left.

The general's probing like this today, and revealing that he values ​​it, is nothing more than to lure the other party to clarify his purpose as soon as possible.

And if the other party came here with Yan Ming's instruction, the hidden intentions behind this would probably be astonishing...

Xiao Mu looked at the military division who was thinking seriously, and couldn't help frowning slightly: ...Why did military division Yan keep reaching for those snacks when his face was solemn?
"There is no need to worry about this person—" Xiao Mu suppressed his inexplicable anxiety, and said, "How to arrange for Mr. Su after he enters the city still needs to be arranged carefully."

"Don't worry, general, I'll let people start preparing."

Master Yan got up and bowed to leave.

Just before leaving, I took two more snacks.

Xiao Mu saw it in his eyes and remained silent.

The door of the study was closed, and the silence returned to his ears, and Xiao Mu continued to look through the official documents.

It's just that Lord Xiao Hou felt that the position of the food box was really conspicuous, and he always sneaked into his line of sight without authorization——

After instructing some important official duties, Lord Xiao Hou got up to stretch his muscles a little, walked out from behind the desk, took a few steps casually, and happened to stop in front of the coffee table.

Well, it really was a coincidence.

He cast his eyes casually, only to see that there was not much left of the three plates of snacks, and two of them were even empty, leaving only some scum.

Fortunately, there is still a dish in the food box that has not been taken out——

Wait, why does he feel "lucky"?Where does this start?
Xiao Mu's brows raised slightly, but he relaxed quickly - he was just a little curious whether this snack was really that delicious - of course, the main reason was to judge how much thought she had put into it.

Well, that's it.

　Good afternoon everyone!The sun is shining today, Friday afternoon is always full of expectations~
