Chapter 298: First Place in Talking
"What's delicious here? This is made by Su Mu and the others. It's too rough and you can't eat it!" Su Qianqian said while winking at Su Mu, asking her to take the plate from behind.
Su Mu hurried to take it, but Qin Yuzhuo leaned over and pinched the clothes on Su Mu's shoulder with his fingers. Su Mu fell towards Qin Yuzhuo involuntarily, and the plate in his hand fell easily into Qin Yuzhuo's hands.
Su Qianqian wanted to reach out to grab it, but Qin Yuzhuo raised the plate and said in a rude manner:
"Hey, Third Sister-in-law said that this was made by Sumu and the others. I don't mind the roughness, so I'll try their craftsmanship."
Su Qianqian was speechless this time. She watched Qin Yuzhuo put pieces of snacks that she had never eaten into her mouth, and kept asking, "What does this taste like?"
"This is so delicious... It smells like osmanthus... Is this made of crab meat? It smells so good. I'll eat this instead of crab roe in the future..."
She was already tired of feeling distressed, but what was hateful was that Qin Yuzhuo had a great appetite and didn't leave a single piece for her. He ate it all and wiped his mouth after finishing it:
"Sumu, when will you make these again? I will buy them for you, Miss San, and you decide the price!"
Su Mu and the two maids behind him all had bitter faces and glared. They couldn't blame the Third Miss for snatching the Madam's food, but how could they have the ability to do such a thing? This was something that the Marquis had come thousands of miles away and spent a lot of effort to collect!
"You've already eaten, now tell me how the thing you were asked to do went."
Su Qianqian pressed her heart, which was numb with pain, and asked Qin Yuzhuo.
"Of course it worked! I followed your method and made an appointment with the second young lady from the Xin Mansion. She rushed to the small parade ground and the first thing she asked when she saw Li Ge'er was: Have you told your mother what I taught you?"
Qin Yuzhuo imitated the expression of Miss Qin Er and raised her index finger in a pretentious manner.
"Brother Li said he had said it all, and asked the second girl if his mother would not leave him if she did this. The toad said of course she would. Apart from Prince Zhou who was bewitched by his mother, where else could you find someone so blind!"
Qin Yuzhuo stared with her round eyes and said while pinching her waist.
"But, you probably couldn't imagine that before I could make a move, Li Ge'er suddenly jumped up and punched the toad in the face, making her scream. Li Ge'er said that it was okay to scold him, and that anyone who fell in love with his mother was blind, so that person deserved to be blind! Hahaha..."
Qin Yuzhuo pounded the table and laughed. Maybe he had enough energy because he ate so much. Su Qianqian felt that the whole table was shaking.
"As expected of a son of our Qin family, he still has some blood in him. I just went out now, pretending to check her injuries, picked her up and threw her over my shoulder, and gave her two loud slaps. I wanted to satisfy my desire to do it again, but unfortunately someone interfered..."
Qin Yuzhuo was speaking excitedly with gestures, but the last sentence was a bit regrettable.
"Who saved the unfortunate Miss Xin Er?"
Su Qianqian was a little curious.
"You can't guess it, right? It was the second young lady of the Xiangfu, Xue Zhiqing, who came to the small parade ground to find me and complained about why the Qin family didn't send her an invitation for such a big event as adopting a daughter!"
Qin Yuzhuo curled his lips.
"Miss Xue Er is actually interested in this... Oh no, it's nostalgia, nostalgia."
"We are not mistreating this adopted daughter. It's just that she has done a great job for your second sister-in-law. Wouldn't it be a slap in her face to invite her again? We have no other choice."
Su Qianqian slowly peeled the sweet potato, and Qin Yuzhuo quickly picked up one and started peeling it too.
"Besides, it's just a foster daughter, so it's not a good idea to trouble the two daughters of the prime minister's mansion. We didn't send any invitations to the Xue family, and those who sent invitations are probably relatives."
Su Qianqian added another sentence.
[Prime Minister Xue has not had a good time recently. He should not get too close to the Marquis of Wuning Mansion, lest he arouse suspicion from the Emperor. The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion does not even know how to keep a low profile. She is either stupid or has bad intentions. 】
Su Qianqian rolled her eyes at Xue Zhiqing in her heart.
"So, I told her not to care about it... But, could it be that she came here to cause trouble because of what she heard about the news that Prime Minister Xue wanted to marry her to Brother Zhou?"
Qin Yuzhuo asked vigilantly.
"Her mind is not on you, Big Brother Zhou, just like your mind is not on Zhou Er, Brother Zhou!"
Su Qianqian raised her eyebrows and teased Qin Yuzhuo.
"Why are you talking about me for no reason? I won't talk to you anymore... Sumu, remember to tell me if you make snacks next time!"
Qin Yuzhuo took a few bites of the sweet potato, clapped his hands, and hurried out with a red face.
[It looks like tomorrow will be very busy. The daughter of the prime minister is getting restless because she didn't receive a reply. 】
Su Qianqian shared the roasted sweet potatoes with Su Mu and the others, looked at the empty plate and sighed: From now on, I will hide things in my space and eat them slowly, just like a squirrel hiding its food.
After dinner, Su Qianqian took a pen and paper and sat beside the table. She asked the maids to go downstairs and write a reply to Qin Hanzhang.
"My dear husband Han Zhang, I have received your letter, which is filled with deep affection..."
When Su Qianqian wrote this, she got goose bumps all over her body and quickly crumpled the paper into a ball.
[I can’t stand it, it’s too corny!] 】Su Qianqian yelled in her heart.
[It's already so subtle, yet it's still corny? Are you still the Su Yu Nuan that I found in countless parallel time and space? What about your future? Where are your lust and courage? When you traveled through time, did you stay at home with that soul and two spirits to wash dishes?
You are not good at anything, you are the best at talking big, when you talk about men you act like an empress, but when you see men you turn out to be at most a woman, our expectations of you are like an old lady climbing Mount Everest, that's too high! 】
The system finally couldn't help it and started to complain crazily. Su Qianqian got so angry that she yelled in her heart: "Get lost!" 】, and was so scared that he choked and couldn't breathe for a long time when he was drinking water in the space.
Even though I have driven the system away, I still have to continue writing this letter. After thinking about it, I decided not to say those polite words. Who doesn't know how to write a diary?
"Although Xijing is not the coldest this year, my breath turned into frost when I came out of my grandmother's room. Those snacks are just right for this time of year. The Jade Rabbit glutinous rice cake is soft and sweet, the crab-flavored steamed cake is fresh and fragrant without being greasy, and the meatballs are quite chewy, but they also require a lot of strength from the cheeks and teeth...
Although the cities in Zhongzhou are not as cold as those in the northern border, it is easier for one to be careless and catch a cold. One needs to be careful and take it seriously. Now that the date of return has been set, one must make sure everyone at home feels at ease. ”
Su Qianqian put down her pen, read the letter, which she had written for the sixteenth time, and was finally satisfied. She folded it and sealed it.
At this time, Su Mu came in and pointed at the clepsydra: "Madam, please get settled quickly. It is almost midnight. We still have a lot to do for the banquet tomorrow."
"Is it so late?" Su Qianqian was surprised. She felt that it was not long. She looked at the waste paper balls and put them together with a guilty smile. She watched Su Mu take them to the charcoal brazier and burn them.
Lying on the bed, he read Qin Hanzhang's letter again under the light of the bedside lamp, then stuffed the letter under his pillow and fell asleep hugging Qin Hanzhang's quilt...
"Qianqian, Qianqian, you will come back, right? Mom believes in you. Nothing can stop you from returning home..."
"Mom..." Su Qianqian suddenly woke up and sat up, gasping for breath.
