Sometimes it was bright, sometimes it was cloudy. The young girl lowered her head and blushed as she walked a long way with Lu Saburo...

Without looking at their appearance, I can already feel that time has brought them together to the fullest, and that they are a talented couple with beautiful looks.

The cousins ​​went to the flower corridor and the long pond in groups of three or two to see it quietly. When they saw the man and woman walking together, they were stunned and felt lost. The cousins ​​who had been to Hualin in the morning were so angry that they broke their handkerchiefs and cursed Luo Lingyu in their hearts, saying that she was mean and shameless. She said nice things, but she turned around and walked with Lu Yun... The second day that Luo's daughter came to Lu's house, she made countless enemies.

On this morning, the story of Lu Saburo taking Luo's daughter to visit the garden was talked about with great relish, and people still couldn't stop talking about it after talking about it for many days:

"I've never seen Saburo take a girl around the garden."

"We wandered around for two full hours."

"It's a pity that my cousin refused to show her face. I heard that my cousin was so beautiful that we have no chance to see her."

"Sanlang seems to treat this cousin differently."

…

Back at Xuesuyuan, she saw the maid Lingyu's inquiring eyes, and Miss Luo Yunhuan, who heard the news and came out to watch but unfortunately didn't see her third cousin. Luo Lingyu sat paralyzed on the couch, half of her body aching. Lingxi went out to take Luo Yunhuan, who was still running a fever, to take medicine. Lingyu combed the girl's beautiful long hair and asked in confusion: "Sanlang really treats you differently... Could it be that Sanlang is attracted to you?"

Luo Lingyu bit her lip, wanting to cry but unable to. She looked so haggard that it was difficult to ask any more questions.

The girl waved her hands and finally let go of her sleeves that had been blocking her face all morning. Her arms were numb. She lay on the table and said weakly, "Stop talking. Look at my makeup. My third cousin said it was smudged, so I didn't dare to do it all morning..."

Lingyu exclaimed: "My lady, you don't wear any makeup, your face is as white as snow, where did the makeup come from?"

Luo Lingyu thought she had misheard for a moment, and quickly took the diamond-shaped mirror to look at her face. The person in the mirror had a beautiful face, red eyes, and a very beautiful appearance... For a long while, Luo Lingyu didn't want to think that Lu Yun was teasing her. After a moment's hesitation, she said to herself doubtfully, "Maybe I sweated and my makeup fell off..."

It is hard to describe what happened that day. It was a good story for others, but it was a laughing stock for Luo Lingyu. Luo Lingyu had a psychological shadow on Lu Sanlang for several days, and she did not dare to go over to look for opportunities to see Lu Yun for several days. And once she did not look for opportunities, Luo Lingyu found that Lu Yun really did not participate in the social activities of the men and women of the Lu family - she did not see Lu Sanlang for several consecutive days. Luo Lingyu collected her thoughts and put her mind on other things - such as making friends with the men and women of the Lu family.

…

The milky white cheese paste is mixed with the flour cake and steamed into pastry. The paste is thick and white, and with the addition of fruit color, it becomes a scarlet color. The scarlet pastry falls into the jade bowl, with red liquid and green bottom. It drips without leaking when brushed, and only wisps of steam can be seen floating. The sweet smell lingers in the air. Several women in the room set up a long table and sat around on the couch. They watched eagerly as slender hands scooped the white pastry on the plate with a silver spoon and then served it on a golden plate.

You can see the brilliance of the light, the combination of scarlet red, snow-white, and golden yellow, which is sometimes steep and sometimes dangerous, solidified in the disk. The bright white, the gorgeous color and the girl's slender hands are so dazzling and beautiful.

Luo Lingyu heard the maid swallowing her saliva and said with a smile: "This is Jinyu Agate Pastry, a famous pastry in the North. It has never been seen in the South. Lingyu, try it."

Lingyu, a maid who grew up in Jianye, stared at the plate of red cakes with her eyes wide open. Before she could say anything, Luo Yunhuan, a nine-year-old girl sitting next to her, couldn't wait to say, "This is made by my sister herself. No one else can make it! It's so delicious!"

She opened her hand and pushed Lingxi impatiently. Lingxi looked at her and served her a bowl with amusement. At the same time, Lingyu served herself a bowl under Luo Lingyu's advice. It tasted sticky and melty, neither solid nor thin. She had never experienced such a strange touch before, but it disappeared in her mouth as soon as it touched her teeth. Lingyu tasted it carefully, and after eating a spoonful, she felt that it was so delicious that her eyes lit up - "You are so talented. Did you cook this kind of food by yourself? I have never eaten it before."

Noble women are good at eating and cooking. Luo Lingyu smiled modestly, feeling slightly pleased. She did not forget to ask, "Is it delicious?"

Lingyu took another sip and savored it for a long time: "Sweet but not greasy, fragrant in the mouth, like water but not water... Ladies should like to try it. But it's hard to say for gentlemen."

Luo Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her temples. The North loves crispy pastries, while the South loves tea. Luo Lingyu and her sister lived in Ruyang when they were young, which is the junction of the North and the South. Although they are from the South, they have more of the customs of the North. After coming to Jianye, Luo Lingyu tried to improve her craftsmanship and made this agate crisp. Lingyu is the authentic Jianye flavor, she thinks it tastes good, and the women of the Lu family think so too.

Luo Lingyu's beautiful eyes looked deeply at the maid, her eyelashes trembling like wings. Hearing the string, Lingyu led the maid Luo Lingyu brought with her to stand up and bent her knees: "I will take Sister Lingxi to send it to the ladies in the mansion to taste it. Are you sending it there?"

Luo Lingyu actually didn't care about the girl, she just waited for the man: "Send it. It's their business whether they like it or not, and it's my business whether I'm polite or not."

That was the purpose. Luo Lingyu stood up, took out the exquisite food box, and took out a plate of jade-green small bowls, and put the cheese in the bowls. She was neither hurried nor slow, and her movements were elegant. The two Lingyu girls behind her were mesmerized. After packing the small bowls, Luo Lingyu stood in front of the food table, her long eyelashes fluttering upwards, as if she was contemplating something.

Her face was pale, pink, and she frowned, as if she was in a deep state of confusion. Even Luo Yunhuan, who was sitting on the couch eating pastry, couldn't help but lean over, wondering what her sister was thinking. The candle in the room flickered, shining through Luo Lingyu's eyes, and she suddenly turned red and bit her red lips.

Luo Lingyu said "wait a moment" and cleverly took out a bowl from the food box. She then took out a small bottle from the small box next to her makeup mirror, uncorked it, and dripped two drops onto the bright red and white cheese in the bowl. Luo Yunhuan behind her jumped up and shouted, "Flower dew, you said you would leave it for me! There are only a few drops of flower dew in total!"

Luo Lingyu ignored her and solemnly handed the small bowl to Lingyu, asking her to make sure she didn't take the wrong one. She said softly, "You must personally give this bowl to my third cousin."
