Guozijian little cook

Chapter 41 Returning to the Xiao Mansion

When Aunt Yu left, she only carried a food box.

It contained unfinished milk tea, unfinished pearls, and half a bowl of secret red beans prepared by Xiao Nianzhi.

For Aunt Yu, pearl milk tea is her new magic weapon for life extension, it is impossible not to bring it!
She was afraid that she would be thinking about this for the past two days when she returned to Zhuangzi.

Then I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well.

So, take away!

Xiao Nianzhi sent her out and brought her back, packed her things briefly, and waited for Xiao Siye to come over.

Now that the person came, she went back to the house to pick up her luggage, locked the door, and followed Xiao Siye to the door.

Once you go out, you can directly get on the carriage.

It is not good for the carriage to pick up the students to come directly to the door, not because they are afraid of walking the mountain road, but because the Imperial College will not let them.

They are all crowded at the door, what if something happens?
However, at this time the peak has passed, and Xiao Siye is his wife, so it is normal to do something special.

When he came to the carriage, the driver who drove the carriage looked familiar, he was the one who sent Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu back to Zhuangzi last time.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi stunned, Xiao Siye signaled her: "That's Old Zheng, the coachman, it's getting late, think about it and go in."

Xiao Nianzhi nodded and got into the carriage.

After going in and sitting firmly, after waiting for a long time without any movement, she couldn't help opening the curtain, and asked in doubt, "Aren't you coming in, uncle?"

The two are different generations, and they are relatives of their own family, so they are not afraid of riding in the same car and causing gossip.

Of course Xiao Siye understood this truth, but he deliberately avoided suspicion and didn't want to put too much pressure on the little girl, so he smiled heartily: "No, no. I still have something to say with Old Zheng, so I sat outside and thought about what to do." Things, just call me."

Xiao Siye refused to come in, Xiao Nianzhi persuaded him a few words, but the other party just waved his hand, so she didn't say any more.

After she sat down in the carriage, the carriage shook again. The coachmen, Old Zheng and Xiao Siye, sat down on both sides of the carriage. With the sound of whip whipping, the carriage moved forward slowly.

After reaching a smooth road, the speed of the carriage accelerated a lot.

Because the monthly exam is over today, the students will go home directly on vacation, so there is no lunch in the cafeteria.

Neither Xiao Siye nor Xiao Nianzhi had lunch yet.

He was afraid that the little girl would be hungry, so he signaled Lao Zheng to drive faster.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Nianzhi thought, it's the first time he came to the door, it doesn't look good to be empty-handed, right?

Even if she is an orphan, it is one thing to be polite, but another thing to be empty-handed.

Just like being poor and being perfunctory are two different things, they are the same thing.

She only found out about Xiu Mu yesterday, and there was no time to prepare presents, so she had to buy them on the way back.

Buying gifts means going out, and you may run into the hero at any time.

But Xiao Nianzhi was not unprepared, she had already guarded against the plot to kill her!

Therefore, a simple curtain was specially prepared to cover her face, so she should not be recognized, right?
With the curtain as a barrier, Xiao Nianzhi felt relieved, and quietly opened the curtain on the road to have a look.

After confirming that they had entered the city, she approached the front of the carriage and said in a low voice, "Uncle, find a dim sum shop and stop, let me buy some dim sum."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Siye was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted and smiled: "Do you want to eat dim sum? There are a few good dim sum restaurants in Beijing, let's go to Yiweizhai."

Xiao Siye thought, after the past, he would buy some of everything.

The boys in the family don't like this one, and they don't see them eating the cakes that the cook cooks for them on weekdays.

But Xiao Nianzhi is a little girl, maybe she likes these things.

Not only snacks, but also dried fruit, snacks, etc., buy more or less.

Xiao Siye, who rarely buys these things, has already thought about the approximate route and the name of the shop in his mind.

In Xiao Nianzhi's carry-on luggage, she brought some tea, but the amount was too small. Although the price was not low, it didn't look too good to take out.

Because in the delicious kitchen, the types of tea refreshed every day are different, so it takes time to save a type of tea.

There are too few tea leaves, so I can only buy other snacks, but I don't know, will Xiao Siye stop him after he finds out?

Xiao Nianzhi is not sure either, so we can only wait and see when the time comes.

When it was Yiweizhai, Xiao Siye only said that he was going to buy it for her and asked Xiao Nianzhi to wait for a while.

She also followed out of curiosity, but Xiao Siye did not object.

The two walked around inside, Xiao Nianzhi made some snacks.

Xiao Siye understood at a glance that the little girl didn't want to come to the door empty-handed.

He thought about it, but he didn't stop him. He let the little girl buy it first, and he bought a few more later.

The two quickly went out with the snacks and returned to the carriage.

However, before Xiao Nianzhi got into the carriage, he turned his head and took a look.

The main street in the capital is very lively, pedestrians either stop to inquire about something, or look around.

Xiao Nianzhi narrowed her eyes slightly, and got into the carriage, but her heart couldn't help but sink.

When she came out of Yiwei Zhai just now, Xiao Nianzhi felt that someone was looking at her, and the sight was quite obvious.

At that time, she raised her head once, but found no obvious abnormality.

When she got into the carriage just now, she looked around carefully, including some window positions on the second floor. She scanned all around, but still found nothing unusual.

Although she is not sure who the other party is, and she is still wearing a curtain, but if Lu Jingyuan notices it at this time, it will be very troublesome.

It's true that the opponent is injured in his arm and needs to recover, but it doesn't affect him going out, right?
Therefore, it is still necessary to prevent problems before they happen.

This time when I return to the Xiao Mansion, I have to bring out the method of making ice with saltpeter.

In fact, in the past few years, many people have tried to analyze through the remnants of ancient books, what kind of ice was used by the ancients earlier than them.

However, it has not been researched.

Xiao Nianzhi is very grateful for his status at this time, his father is a scholar, his family has a lot of books, and his grandfather also read books.

If anyone is curious, how can I make ice with saltpeter?
Then, find an excuse and push it to the father or grandfather who is no longer there.

Those people are no longer there, and there is no evidence to prove it. Isn't it just what they say?
I am literate, I have read books, I still have a collection of books at home, and I have no intention of breaking some ancient law, isn't it normal?
But in just a few breaths, countless possibilities have already passed through Xiao Nianzhi's mind.

The carriage quickly restarted, and the sound of hoofbeats gradually faded away.

On the second floor diagonally opposite to Yipinzhai, the window was covered with only a small gap. The young gentleman behind the window was watching the carriage of Xiao's mansion drifting away with his chin propped up until he could no longer see it. Withdrawing his gaze, he said in doubt, "Brother Lu, that one just now is the carriage in Xiao Siye's residence of the Imperial Academy, right?"
