Chapter 55 Meng Yunlan's Pastries

Seeing that his brother and Nan Chu were getting along well, Meng Yunqiao grinned, turned to Su Yuan, shook his head and sighed:

"Su Yuan, we are really destined to meet. Look, not only are we as close as sisters, but even my brother, who has a dull personality, can get along well with Brother-in-law Nan. It's rare, rare!"

Su Yuan smiled faintly, glanced at the two men on the right, and said casually:

"That's good, but you came so early, I'm afraid we have to stay a little longer before we can go out. There are men here today, and if we go out shopping now, I'm afraid we can't stand the scorching sun."

Meng Yunqiao seemed to remember something after hearing this, and clapped his hands suddenly, waving at Wen Qing who was standing behind his brother, saying:

"Bring the lunch box over here."

"Hehe, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Today, my brother dragged his sick body to make pear blossom cake, saying that it was to reward me for my hard work in studying and the poor food in the academy."

She turned her head to look at Su Yuan, curved her lips and continued:

"But who am I? I am your sister, Su Yuan. How can I not share good things?"

"I just sent it to you so that you can have a taste. Let me tell you, my brother's pastry skills are superb. The taste is no worse than your Xiangsufang."

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his eyes to look at the pear blossom cake in front of him, stretched out two fingers to pick up a piece, brought it to his lips and took a bite, nodded and said:

"Yeah, it tastes really good."

The other side.

Nan Chu also tasted the cakes that Wen Qing brought over. He turned his head to look at Meng Yunlan and praised her earnestly:

"Brother Meng, I didn't expect that you are so good at making pastries. I have been learning from my wife these days. I want to become a versatile person like Brother Meng in the future."

Meng Yunlan was slightly surprised when he heard this, then he smiled softly and said in a gentle voice:

"Miss Su actually taught you to read in person. She is extremely talented and a woman of great ability. With her guidance, I believe that Brother Nan will be able to surpass me in the future."

Nan Chu's face was filled with shyness. He lowered his head, bit his lip, and said:

"Brother Meng, you're exaggerating. I'm stupid, how could I possibly surpass you? My wife even scolded me for learning to read this morning!"

After listening to this, Meng Yunlan subconsciously looked at Su Yuan, and his gaze stayed on her for a moment until Su Yuan noticed something and looked at her with raised eyebrows in confusion.

He was so shocked that his breathing stagnated, his body slightly stiffened, and he cast his eyes on Nan Chu's face, raising his voice slightly and said:

"I see Miss Su is not as strict as Brother Nan said. Did she accidentally raise her voice a little loudly when she was lecturing and frightened Brother Nan?"

Nan Chu pursed his lips and sighed:

"You don't understand. This is true. But it's also my fault. I wasn't paying attention. It's easy to get distracted when I'm with my wife."

Seeing these two people talking about her, especially her husband complaining about her to outsiders, Su Yuan shook her head helplessly and smiled.

"Hey, sister, what are you doing over there? I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"

Meng Yunqiao saw Su Yuan chatting with her, and her eyes turned to the men, so she spoke out to remind her sisters.

Hearing this, Su Yuan turned his gaze back, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What? Say it again."

Meng Yunqiao's mouth corners slightly curved, and he repeated with a fake smile:

"I say, we have to go back to the academy tonight, and we have been sitting here for a while, why don't we go to the market to buy some things now."

Su Yuan looked outside at the sky and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, he shouted to Xiao Shi who was waiting outside the door:

"Xiao Shi, go park the carriage at the door, and we'll go to the market to buy things later."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoshi nodded his head and then left quickly.

After arranging the means of transportation, Su Yuan talked to Nan Chu and Meng Yunlan who were chatting enthusiastically on the right, and then went out.

After the two of them have packed up.

The group got on two carriages and left for the market.

Yu'an Street.

There are shops on both sides of the street.

In the afternoon when the dusk is thick, the sunlight shines softly on the red bricks and green tiles or the colorful eaves of the pavilions, adding a touch of haziness and poetry to the prosperous city in front of you.

Su Yuan and his group walked on the street, occasionally entering a shop or two or stopping in front of the stalls set up by vendors on both sides.

"Sister, hey, look what I'm holding in my hand?"

As soon as Meng Yunqiao arrived at the market, she looked around and snapped up some food. Now she was holding the snacks she had just found and calling Su Yuan to show off to her.

Su Yuan heard the voice and slowly turned around. When his eyes fell on what Meng Yunqiao was holding, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a word:

"Have you reserved all the candied haws sold in the store?"

Meng Yunqiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, shook the straw target in his hand, and said with a happy face:

"I just want to buy some dessert. We have five days in total and we need to eat three meals a day. Even this is not enough!"

Su Yuan pursed his lips, glanced at his friend, and sighed:

"Okay, if you've already bought it, just take it. After these five days, I'm afraid you won't want to buy candied haws anymore."

Meng Yunqiao looked at the sisters in confusion, frowned, and asked hesitantly:

"I'll take this. Can you help me think about what else I need? I just bought some candied fruit cakes, tuckahoe cakes, some fruit, and this candied haws. Is there anything I'm missing?"

Su Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, smiled faintly and shook his head, saying helplessly:

"No more. Too much will go bad. You can buy a new batch on the next day off. Just stop this time!"

Meng Yunqiao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"But it's still early to leave the academy. These two men don't usually go shopping alone. It's rare for them to come out today, so let's go shopping with them."

Su Yuan glanced at Nan Chu and Meng Yunqiao who were discussing which bead flower was prettier in front of the stall, and nodded calmly:

"Yeah, okay."

After saying that, she no longer cared about Meng Yunqiao and walked leisurely to the vendor's stall.

He casually leaned his head against the wooden pillar, observing the pearl hairpins in the hands of the two men, listening to them express their opinions, and occasionally nodding in agreement.

I sighed inwardly.

Alas, she actually likes beautiful accessories too.

However, the female headdress of this female superior was not to her liking, but the men's accessories were more exquisite, which she liked very much.

Su Yuan performed all this silently, and Nan Chu and Meng Yunlan didn't even notice her coming.

Until Meng Yunqiao came over with a candied haws in his arms and asked doubtfully:

"Sister, what are you doing? This man's headdress is so fancy, what's so good about it? Come with me to buy some new booklets, so that we can take them to the academy to kill time."

The two men were reminded by Meng Yunqiao and looked up in surprise at Su Yuan who was standing casually on the side.

Seeing that she was staring at them, they both blinked in panic and put the hairpins in their hands back.
