Chapter 154 Why haven't you come back yet?
"It will still be sweet if you add salt?" Lian Xin looked confused. If you want it to be sweet, don't you have to add sugar?
In previous years, the Xiao family would also have bayberries, but when the young lady wanted to eat bayberries, she would just go to the kitchen and get them. The kitchen staff would wash them clean and place them on a plate and hand them to her.
She just needed to give it to Xiao Jiuyue to eat. She never knew that bayberry needed salt?
"Add salt to neutralize the sour taste, and the sweetness will emerge." Xiao Jiuyue spoke as briefly as possible. She didn't mention anything like pH value. Not only would it arouse suspicion, but it would also leave them confused.
"Oh." Lianxin nodded, not quite understanding. Soon, after rinsing the bayberries that had been soaked in salt water again, Lianxin discovered that the taste was indeed different from the bayberries in the basket!
"It seems to be sweeter." Lianxin tasted both kinds of bayberries, and the bayberries soaked in salt water seemed to be sweeter.
"This plate is for Luo Kui." Xiao Jiuyue sat on the couch, feeling the cool breeze of early summer and eating bayberries. She was in a very good mood!
"Miss, Luokui wishes her leg would heal immediately." Lianxin took the bayberries and went to find Luokui. Whenever the young lady had something delicious, she would think of them.
When her legs were not good before, Xiao Jiuyue would always give her some good food.
"Yangmei, Lianxin, you are really my good sisters!" Luokui was bored in the house. Unlike Lianxin, she was not able to calm down and embroider things, so she could only touch and look here and there.
When she was really bored, Luokui would go to talk to He Lian. Generally speaking, it was Luokui who was talking while He Lian was busy making paper flowers.
I don’t know when the young lady got the silk thread. He Lian seemed to be studying how to use the silk thread to make flowers!
"If you want to thank someone, thank the young lady. She asked me to see her off." Lian Xin watched her get ready to get out of bed and asked, "Are you going to find Miss He Lian?"
"Young lady, you will always be my master!" Luo Kui tasted a bayberry. The sour and sweet bayberry tasted wonderful. She ate it with great satisfaction and said, "My leg is not healed yet. If I don't go find Miss He Lian, you don't have time to chat with me?"
Luo Kui stuffed another bayberry into his mouth and said, "Lianxin, if the young lady needs me for anything, you must remember to think of me and mention me more often in front of the young lady. In case the young lady forgets me..."
Luo Kui puffed out her cheeks, looked at her legs, and sighed.
"Don't worry, the young lady has something to do, so I'm leaving." When Lianxin heard Luo Kui talking a lot, she quickly found an excuse and ran away.
Every night when she was with Luokui, she would remind him countless times, and her ears were covered with calluses.
"How is Luokui recovering?" Xiao Jiuyue was copying the account book. When he saw Lianxin coming back, he asked without raising his head.
"You've recovered well. Aside from not being able to walk, everything else is fine." Lian Xin took the initiative to step forward to grind the ink and said, "Miss, Madam Geng just asked if the pickled cabbage and pickled radish you pickled earlier are ready to eat?"
Xiao Jiuyue paused, dipped his hand in ink, and said, "Well, I'll fish it out later and make some pickled fish."
She copied the account book carefully. Last night, she copied until midnight, and today she copied all day long. She wanted to keep several backup copies, otherwise she would feel uneasy.
Xiao Jiuyue continued copying until the evening. She handed her handwritten account book to General Manager Jin and said, "Take this piece of evidence to Hongdu Prefecture to find the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner Song De'an. This copy is my copy, and the other one is the real evidence. When you are sure that Song De'an intends to investigate County Magistrate Cheng, then you can bring out the real evidence."
When she copied, she imitated the characters intentionally. Not word for word, but at least, an outsider couldn't tell the difference.
"Miss, do you want to report to the Xiao family?" Manager Jin stuffed the real account book into his sleeve, and held the one copied by Xiao Jiuyue close to his body in his arms.
"Butler Jin is an old man by my father's side." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Butler Jin. Even the original owner had an impression of Song De'an. If Song De'an didn't remember the Xiao family after meeting Butler Jin, then...
"Be careful about everything now. Remember to disguise yourself on the road and don't let the Cheng family notice you." Xiao Jiuyue reminded him that the last assassination outside Wan'an County has been completely confirmed to be the work of the Cheng family and the Fang family.
As long as County Magistrate Cheng is overthrown, the Fang family will have to wait for her Zhiyun Tower to take over the Fang family's business and then they will be forced to do something desperate.
After Manager Jin left, Xiao Jiuyue sat on the couch. A cool breeze blew in. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and calculated the days. Chu Ang, He Changqing and the others should have arrived in Lingnan, or perhaps they were already on their way back.
Xiao Jialing is smart and will definitely prepare a lot of sea rice rolls. As long as she has these fresh noodles, she won't have to worry about the opening of Fucheng Restaurant. As for the restaurant's signature dishes, she plans to find someone who is picky to try them first and then make the final choice!
New county magistrate.
Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly. She had already sent Yu Ge to Xunzhou to inquire. She was curious whether the third prince, who had never been taken seriously in the court, would surprise and astonish her.
Xiao Jiuyue pulled out a piece of paper from the side. On it was the panda she had drawn last night. A ferruginous beast, a panda?
She watched for a long time, until Lianxin reminded her that it was late at night, and then Xiao Jiuyue went back to her room to rest.
Late at night, Xiao Jiuyue dreamed again!
It was a dream she had often had since she was a child.
The high red walls, the long and deep alleys, and the heavy snow against the backdrop of the red walls make it look particularly poetic.
In a deserted palace, a handsome young man was kneeling on the ground, wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold. Even the snacks that fell on the ground were stepped on by several people.
“That’s too much of a bully!”
Xiao Jiuyue rushed forward, and when he arrived, those people had dispersed, leaving only the handsome young man kneeling on the ground, his lip was bleeding, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Here." Xiao Jiuyue took out a jujube flower cake and handed it to him. It was sour, sweet, and soft. She gently wiped the blood from his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Don't be afraid, little brother. We have a panda. It's very powerful."
"I'll draw a panda for you, and it will protect you in the future." Xiao Jiuyue squatted on the ground, painting in the snow with his chubby fingers. Soon, a chubby panda appeared.
…
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Not back yet."
"return"
“…”
The low sound is like the whisper of the wind, or like a call.
Xiao Jiuyue struggled to wake up. She opened her eyes and the anger in her dream seemed to have really existed. The dark room was dimly illuminated by the moonlight, which gave off an antique charm.
She sat on the couch, gazing at the bright moon. She was dreaming again, a dream she often had before. But this was the first time she had this dream since arriving in the Kingdom of Nanyue.
She must be possessed by a demon. Why would she think that handsome little brother whose face she couldn't see clearly was Jun Lie?
