At dusk, the two horse-drawn carriages drove out of the backyard door of the valley house and drove away in two directions, one north and one south.In the carriage heading south, Li Haitang rubbed her belly and lay on Liu Erniang's back, humming and chirping.Yuan Xu and Zhuge Yi played chess, glanced at the little girl with a smile, and said, "I'm afraid I don't even know the mystery of Old Lady Su's death." ”"She knows."
Zhuge Yi held the white son, squinted at the coquettish begonia, and complained slightly sourly: "She is having fun." ”Yuan Xu couldn't help but smile: "You are her master, and whatever she thinks will never escape your eyes."
Wait patiently, maybe she will take the initiative to confess. ”"Humph!
I waited. ”Bai Zi was on the plate, Zhuge Yijian raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be disdainful, and said: "It turns out that Yuan Wuye is a stinky chess basket." ”Yuan Xu smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I compare with you?
Thou hast strategized and strategized step by step, and I am no match for you.Alas!
The skill is not as good as you, I admit defeat. ”"Fifth Master Yuan is humble."
Zhuge Yi put away the black and white jade chess pieces and cooked tea with his hands.Yuan Xu pinched a piece of jujube cake and asked, "Zhuge Gongzi and Miss Su have a good fate."
Even though they haven't seen each other for three years, Miss Su still remembers the taste of jujube cake. ”"Fifth Master Yuan is wrong about this.If you can't see the whole picture in the tube, you don't know what happened three years ago, don't rush to conclusions.I have neither fate nor separation with Miss Su, but we are just strangers who meet in Pingshui. ”Zhuge Yi poured out the mountain spring water in the bamboo tube and poured it into the copper kettle, and put it on the pottery stove to boil.The expression is focused, the demeanor is elegant, and he has a hermit style.Thinking that he was studying under the Jianghu Doctor Xianlin Ya, Yuan Xu understood in a trance why Old Madam Su "came back from the dead", and Zhuge Yi sent him to Anfeng City to find the whereabouts of Old Madam Su."
I see."
Yuan Xu muttered to himself, looking at the handsome and peerless gentle young man, and the conclusion he had just made in his heart was overturned, shaking his head and muttering to himself: "No, the age is not right."
You are only seventeen years old this year, and Mrs.
Su has been dead for eight years.According to this calculation, you were only nine years old when she died, and you were still a hairy child. ”"It's hard to see the whole picture of a leopard in a tube.The master just mentioned it, and the little fifth uncle forgot it so quickly. ”Li Haitang brought a plate of fresh meat shortbread and said, "Grandma Su's cooking skills are really good, this fresh meat shortbread is crispy and fragrant, even my aunt is full of praise."
Master and Little Fifth Uncle try it. ”Yuan Xu smiled without saying a word, took a piece of fresh meat shortbread and sniffed the meat, and praised: "It's really good."
I didn't expect Mrs.
Su's cooking skills to be so exquisite. ”"Lianghe City is famous for its food, and the Wu family is the dragon head of the merchants of Lianghe City.The Wu family has hundreds of restaurants, restaurants, and restaurants in the city.As a girl from the Wu family, how can Grandma Su be willing to live in the queen's house. ”Li Haitang washed his hands and cooked tea seriously.Zhuge Yi doesn't like greasy meat food, and he loses his appetite just by looking at fresh meat shortbread.Seeing that Haitang was cooking tea for him, he chatted with Yuan Xu."
Fifth Master Yuan is in charge of Liangping City, so he should know where Liangping City tastes.""
Gongzi Zhuge is wrong, I don't have the ability to take charge of Liangping City."
After eating a piece of fresh meat shortbread, Yuan Xu stopped eating more, asked Begonia for a cup of warm water to moisten his throat, and sighed: "Although I have been rooted in Liangping City for more than ten years, I am a stranger in their eyes.The big merchants, peddlers, and pawns in Liangping City have their own rules, and each family has its own faction and does not disturb each other.Foreign merchants like me can do business with them, take root in the city as a businessman, and take refuge in a family as a guest, but their rules are not passed on to the outside world, and they cannot tolerate foreign merchants. ”"Isn't the position of the little fifth uncle in Liangping City very embarrassing?
If they are not near or far, they will be friends if they have money to earn, and enemies if they have no money to earn. ”"Miss Begonia is exactly what I have been resentful about for many years."
Yuan Xu smiled bitterly.The best and most wanton ten years of his life were exchanged for an embarrassing position in Liangping City, which was neither up nor down, neither good nor bad.Sometimes he asks himself, is it worth it to waste time like this?
Zhuge Yi poured tea for Yuan Xu and said: "The Wu family is fighting the idea of Liangping City, and wants to merge the two cities into one city with their own strength.What does Yuan Wuye think about this?
”"It's just a daydream."
Yuan Xu hooked his lips lightly, and said firmly: "There is the owner of the valley house, and there is the largest businessman in the world, no matter how many plans the Wu family has, it is a bamboo basket to draw water." ”"Uncle Xiao knows who Master and I are, so he doesn't have to talk about it."
Li Haitang took out a copy of "Business Classics" from the small cabinet by the window and flipped through it.Yuan Xuwan'er said, "Miss Begonia, how did you know that Old Lady Su lives in Anfeng City?"
And one step ahead of the ghost hand to pick her up?
”Zhuge Yi rubbed his eyebrows, "Girl, did you eavesdrop outside the study that day?"
”"Wronged, Master, when did I have the problem of eavesdropping and snooping?"
Li Haitang dropped the book, sat down next to Zhuge Yi, and held his arm coquettishly: "Master has to believe me, I guessed it myself." ”"Guess?"
Zhuge Yi shook his head, "I don't believe it." ”Li Haitang pursed her lips and said in frustration: "I really guessed, except for Brother Leng, even Qingluo, Lan Yue and Aunt didn't know that Grandma Su was still alive. ”"Girl, don't hide what you want to say to hang our appetite.If you don't invite it again, be careful of spanking!
”"Master, I'm eleven, and I'm not a kid spanking anything."
Li Haitang's wrinkled little face looked very aggrieved and sad, which made Yuan Xu hide his face with his sleeves and snicker, and Zhuge Yi sighed helplessly.Asking her to sit closer, Zhuge Yi asked, "How do you know that Old Madam Su is not dead?"
”Li Haitang said calmly: "The handwritten codex of the owner of the valley house.I recognize Master's handwriting, and the handwriting in the Codex was not written by Master.I guess it was written by the owner of the Gu Mansion, which contains the cooking recipe of osmanthus stuffed duck, the account of the Su family, the reason for the death of Mrs.
Su and the place where she lived for a long time after leaving the Su family. ”"Turns out you read that thing."
Zhuge Yi suddenly realized.That codex was written by his little aunt before her death, and Mrs.
Su and her little aunt were close friends who were righteous and like sisters when they were not married.It seems that Mrs.
Su didn't have a good time in the Su family back then, otherwise how could she ask her aunt to help her cheat her death and get out?"
When did you see that?""
The day I first arrived at the valley house.I have now developed the habit of reading books before going to bed, and when it is late at night, I can't disturb Master, so I tell Qingluo to go to the study and find a random book to read. ”Li Haitang clasped his hands together and said, "Fortunately, I saw it, otherwise how would I win the bet?"
It can be seen that the owner of this hand-pierced book has a spirit, and he helped me win Su Miaoqing with one hand. ”Zhuge Yilong's eyes were gloomy.I hope that my little aunt will have a soul in the sky, protect the love of his life, and protect her safe and long-lived.Yuan Xu suddenly understood why Begonia was able to cook the Su family's heirloom dishes, and the old master of Wu tasted the taste of the dishes cooked by his daughter before her death.It turned out that as early as when Zhuge Yi sent him to Anfeng City to find the whereabouts of Mrs.
Su, Haitang had sent Leng Shi to pick up Mrs.
Su."
Miss Begonia is really smart, Yuan Wu admires it!""
Uncle Xiao Wu has won the prize.In front of the master and the fifth uncle, I was just playing smart, but I didn't dare to take the word 'admiration'. ”Li Haitang smiled and saw Zhuge Yilong's eyes flashing with tears.She quietly clenched her big cold hand, knowing that he was sad because of the mention of Aunt Zhuge .() Glory to the end
