auspicious time has come

Chapter 49
There was no other person in the study room, Lord Xiao still took the plate out of the food box calmly, and with the attitude of "I'm just checking it out", he picked up the chopsticks in the food box and took a piece of it to the mouth. middle.

He chewed very slowly, the soft snacks slowly melted in his mouth, and he felt the fragrance of green tea lingering between his teeth.

Suddenly, he picked up a second piece.

Even though he couldn't taste the sweetness, even though the tea fragrance was very weak, it couldn't be ignored.

And such a light taste, it is said that he can't taste it...

Xiao Mu looked at the plate of light blue tea cake with some puzzled eyes.

At this moment, the door of the study was knocked suddenly——

Xiao Mu immediately put the chopsticks back as if feeling guilty when he heard the sound, put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and said, "Come in."

"General."

Meng Dazhu went inside to salute: "This subordinate has already sent Lord Yan Lang out of the mansion."

"Where's Yin Hai?" Xiao Mu asked casually as if trying to hide his guilty conscience.

"Going out to buy wine." Meng Dazhu said, scratching the back of his head: "However... this subordinate saw the carriage of the Pei family at the corner gate, and heard that it was Mrs. Pei who brought Miss Pei to visit Mrs. gone."

Xiao Mu nodded clearly.

In this way, it is normal to buy this wine.

"General, do you want your subordinates to return the food box to Painter Ji?" Meng Dazhu turned his gaze and landed on the coffee table beside him.

Huh?
After all, it was a thank-you gift from Painter Ji to the general, so he specially left a plate for the general before, why was it taken out and eaten?
Yan Junshi has a very good appetite at his age.

Xiao Mu glanced at his subordinates—does he have to be so diligent?
However, facing the boy's simple and honest face, he could only nod calmly: "Alright."

Therefore, after Meng Dazhu asked someone to clean up the leftover snacks, he took the empty food box and went to the guest courtyard.

He found Jiji and handed the food box to her.

"Is the medicine being decocted in the courtyard?" Meng Dazhu stood outside the door and smelled the medicine, and glanced in the direction of the courtyard.

Jiji nodded: "My girl has a cold."

Meng Dazhu hurriedly asked: "Did you see Doctor Yan?"

"...Then why is the medicine made with a prescription prescribed by someone?"

"Ah..." Meng Dazhu was stunned and then smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, I didn't turn my mind for a while."

Seeing him like this, Jiji couldn't help but smile—what a fool.

"I heard from my aunt yesterday that Master Ji is willing to paint a portrait for my elder sister...Ji Ji, please thank Master Ji for me." Meng Dazhu looked grateful, and said: "It's just that Things are bound to take a lot of effort, let's tell Master Ji not to worry, and take care of your body first!"

"Well, I will tell my girl."

Looking at each other, the boy's piercing eyes showed a simple and pure look of concern: "Then do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine, but I haven't had time to thank Captain Meng for what happened last night—"

"It should be!" Meng Dazhu straightened his body, with a look of responsibility for "it should be like this", and asked again: "In that situation, you must be scared, right?"

Just as Jiji was about to shake his head, he saw that he took out a blue cloth bag hanging on his waist from under the cloak. When the cloth bag was opened, there was a mass of oily paper wrapped in it, and the smell of meat came to his face——

The boy handed the greased paper bag in front of her, and showed his white teeth with a smile: "I bought you a roasted pig's foot!"

Gigi was a little taken aback.

My God, use roasted pig's feet to scare——

This is too... too suitable for her!
Couldn't help swallowing, when Jiji took over the still hot roasted pig's feet, she felt the coldness all over her body was dispelled.

but……

Captain Meng sent her food every three days, and she couldn't eat people for nothing.

"When my girl's cold is better, I'll treat Captain Meng to some delicious food, shall I?"

"Okay...Okay!" Meng Dazhu nodded hastily, and grinned: "I know where there is food in Yingzhou, and I will take you to try it in the future."

Gigi's eyes lit up.

For a moment--her stomach just felt that there were no sweeter words in the world.

So he agreed with full expectation—suddenly felt that staying in the Northland didn't seem to be so tormenting anymore.

She will buy all the delicious food she learned from Captain Meng for the girl to taste!
"Go in and eat, it's cold outside." Seeing the wind, Meng Dazhu urged.

Jiji nodded, thanked him again, and then turned and walked into the courtyard.

After walking seven or eight steps, he couldn't help turning his head to look, only to see the boy still standing there.

Seeing her look, the boy showed a simple and honest smile, Jiji pursed her lips and turned her head, hugged the roasted pig's feet, and trot back to the corridor.

"But Captain Meng came to deliver food again?" Jiang Meiguan came to meet him, and asked casually.

"That's right... isn't Aunt Jiang going to the official media office today?"

The matchmaker Jiang sighed faintly: "Don't mention it, thankfully I thought Captain Meng was the best one at first... But the kid who looks honest and easy-going on the surface is also picky and picky... I don't know, but I don't know." When he has a sweetheart."

Sweetheart...?
Jiji quietly clenched the oiled paper bag in her hand.

There was a meaningful smile on the corners of Jiang Meiguan's eyes and brows, and immediately asked the question he really cared about in a low voice: "I heard that Ah Heng met a bad guy outside the city last night, did Xiao Hou come forward to save him?"

"There is such a thing." Gigi only answered superficially, without mentioning more specific details.

This affirmative answer is enough to make Jiang Meiguan feel happy——

If she succeeds in her "wild flower plan" in one fell swoop, why should she worry about other things!

Jiang Meiguan only saw the golden dawn, and was about to go to Hengyu's bedroom by Jiji's side, but just stepped through the hall door, but suddenly took it back.

not.

Don't be hasty...

For things that have just begun to appear, it is better to let nature take its course, and it is not good to startle the snake.

She is the most experienced in this kind of thing. If someone reminds her too early, it will be counterproductive—it's like a dream. How can she be woken up before the dream comes to fruition?

And let it develop first...

Jiang Meiguan pressed his mind and left a sentence, "It's better not to disturb Heng girl to recover from her illness", then went back to the room to grab melon seeds and peanuts, and went to chat with the maid in a good mood.

On the other side, Meng Dazhu had returned to Xiao Mu's study.

"General, my subordinates have sent the food box back."

Xiao Mu nodded and asked, "How?"

Meng Dazhu was momentarily dazed by the question.

what?
Just send it back directly?
How about sending a food box?

Oh, right!

"The subordinates just heard that Master Ji fell ill, suffering from a cold—"

sick?

Sure enough, he was still sick.

Xiao Mu subconsciously wanted to frown.
