"good."
The Imperial Master did not refuse, which made Qin Wu feel relieved.
She handed him the noodles in her hand and said, "I'll go back to the kitchen and get another bowl."
"Let's go together."
The Imperial Master followed Qin Wu into the kitchen.
There was some surprise in Qin Wu's eyes as she looked at the man in the moon-silver robe, who was so otherworldly, yet he just walked into this small and dirty kitchen, and even casually lifted up his robe and sat on the bench beside the kitchen.
Qin Wu served the noodles and sat on the bench on the other side.
The kitchen had just been lit and was still somewhat warm, so the door was closed to keep out the cold wind. The two of them sat on a bench, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and began to eat casually.
The imperial master has long and slender hands, and he picks up noodles with grace and ease.
Qin Wu stared at him closely, feeling somewhat uneasy, afraid that he would find out that the noodles were poisoned...
...
...
"What? You don't want me to eat?" Seeing Qin Wu staring at him, the Imperial Master paused in his mouth and looked directly at her through the mask.
"No, no." Qin Wu calmed down suddenly. She smiled and said, "I'm just worried that the noodles won't suit the Imperial Master's appetite."
"I'm not picky." After saying that, the noodles entered the imperial teacher's mouth.
Qin Wu was afraid from the beginning that the food would not taste good and the Imperial Master would not eat it, so she made a thick soup with the chicken and mixed it with flour to make noodles.
The noodles are fresh, tender and chewy. If this is not delicious, then nothing will be delicious.
The Imperial Master's eyes lit up slightly, and he obviously didn't expect such an ordinary bowl of noodles to taste so good.
"It's delicious. You're too modest." The national teacher praised and was very considerate by even finishing the soup.
As Qin Wu watched the Imperial Master finish the noodles she made without any precautions, her emotions became a little complicated.
The current imperial teacher doesn't hate her that much. She wants his life to prevent the situation that would have occurred in the previous life. Is that right?
However, this thought was wiped out in an instant, and she slowly finished the noodles in the bowl.
She cannot be soft-hearted, otherwise she will repeat the same path as in her previous life.
She must understand that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
Since the Imperial Master would doom her to eternal damnation, she couldn't let him live.
We can't let him say that she is a nuisance and send her to southern Xinjiang.
The envoys from Southern Xinjiang will arrive soon after the beginning of spring. If she doesn't kill the imperial teacher now, she will never have the chance to kill him again.
The poison will not relapse immediately, and death will only occur after three days.
So no one would suspect her.
After Qin Wu finished her noodles, the Imperial Master handed her the handkerchief that the prefect had asked him to give to her.
"What is this?" Qin Wu looked at him in surprise and confusion.
The national teacher explained the origin of this handkerchief.
Only then did Qin Wu take the handkerchief from his hand.
The fabric is not that great, but the embroidery workmanship is absolutely amazing!
The white handkerchief was embroidered with a large peony bud that had not yet bloomed, but the moment Qin Wu took it, she could actually see the peony blooming as the handkerchief dangled.
This was the first time Qin Wu saw this kind of dynamic embroidery.
She looked carefully and found that the peony flowers on the handkerchief were meant to bloom, but when she waved the handkerchief lightly, the peony flowers on the handkerchief would bloom, attracting all the attention of the handkerchief.
"Which lady from the Li family embroidered this?"
"It should be." The national teacher said, "This embroidery is very good."
More than good!
If the lady from the Li family could be allowed to cooperate with the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce, coupled with the fabrics provided by the Lin family, she could develop a high-end garment shop and earn a higher-profit business.
The prices of daily necessities cannot be high. It is all about sales volume. By keeping the prices low, they are the suppliers and earn even less. She lets the shop owners of major businesses make the bulk of the profit.
This is the only way to ensure that business owners are willing to purchase goods from the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce.
If she wants to earn more money, she must have a high-profit business of her own.
There were mostly wealthy families living in Shangjing, so as long as the things were good, people would buy them no matter how expensive they were.
Seeing Qin Wu looking at the handkerchief with joy, the Imperial Master's lips curled up slightly.
"I'll take you back to your room."
The imperial teacher walked in front holding a lantern in his hand, and Qin Wu followed behind him.
The night wind was cold, making the corners of Yue's silver robe flutter. The Imperial Master turned around and saw that Qin Wu was keeping a long distance from him.
He turned and stepped forward, holding her cold wrist, "Walk faster, don't get cold."
Her hands were so cold.
Unfortunately I didn't bring a hand warmer, so next time I'll make sure she carries it with her.
"I, I can walk by myself." Qin Wu wanted to pull back her hand.
The Imperial Master didn't say anything, but the hand that held her wrist was so tight that Qin Wu couldn't break free at all.
Silence represents the irresistible power of the national teacher.
Qin Wu knew it was futile, so she stopped resisting and let him hold her wrist. She followed his pace and walked side by side with him.
The light of the lantern flickered, illuminating the dark road ahead.
Qin Wu was a little dazed. She was originally uneasy, but at this moment she felt safer than ever before.
Before she could think more, the Imperial Master walked her to his door.
He opened her door.
"You've worked hard these past few days. Have a good rest. We'll set off at noon tomorrow. You can sleep in a little later."
Without waiting for Qin Wu to speak, the Imperial Master turned and left.
Lying in bed, Qin Wu tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.
I don't know if it was because he felt uneasy about poisoning the national teacher, or if it was because he felt guilty about poisoning someone for the first time.
Wake up the next day.
Qiufen brought breakfast to Qin Wu.
"Miss, was it too cold last night and didn't sleep well?"
There is no charcoal fire to warm up here, and even though I'm covered with a thick quilt, it's still a bit cold.
"Fortunately, we can go back to the capital today." Qiufen served Qin Wu a bowl of hot chicken porridge. "Miss, have some breakfast first. I'll pack our things."
"Go to the Jingshang Grocery Store later and give this letter to their owner for me." Qin Wu handed the written letter to Qiufen.
Mrs. Li is a talented embroidery woman and needs to be recruited.
"Yes, miss."
It was a long time after Qin Wu finished her meal that Qiufen came back.
I packed up the things I brought and returned.
Qin Wu got on the carriage. It took a while for the imperial teacher to come and handed her a hand warmer.
"Take it and warm your hands." The Imperial Master's tone was indifferent, still looking cold and distant, but his action was heartwarming.
Qin Wu looked up at him and said, "Thank you." She took the hand warmer and a struggle began in her heart again.
The Imperial Master didn't seem to notice the emotion in her eyes. He sat opposite her and ordered her to return to the capital.
The prefect and almost all the citizens in the city came to see them off.
Qin Wu looked through the window and saw gratitude and reluctance in everyone's eyes. At this moment, Qin Wu also felt a sense of accomplishment.
In her previous life, she had always been busy with the Qin family and the Qi family.
But he never had a self and never paid attention to anyone other than the Qin family and Qi Xiuzhe.
Without them, her efforts for others would be responded to, appreciated, and even rewarded...
Although all this was just a piece of cake for her and she didn't need anything in return, she was naturally very happy to see their sincere gratitude.
Who wouldn’t be happy to receive feedback for their efforts? Even if it’s just a word of thanks, it’s gratifying.
The carriage left the city and headed towards Shangjing.
The snow has stopped for two or three days, and today's sun seems particularly warm.
It gets dark early in winter, and the road is not easy to walk on, but it is much better than before. Everyone plans to speed up and reach the post station ahead.
Suddenly, there was a bang and the wheel collapsed. The horses were frightened and rushed forward.
