Chapter 93 3
The next day, Pei Changfeng went out with two dark circles under his eyes. Yang Lu was very surprised when she saw him. "Son, did you not sleep well last night?"
Pei Changfeng pursed his lips and asked, "Mother, what flavor of flower dew did you use?"
Yang Lu looked puzzled, "Moli, what's wrong?"
Pei Changfeng said: "Change the incense in my room to one with jasmine scent."
After saying this, he went out to work.
Yang Lu was thinking in the back, "This kid is getting harder to figure out as he gets older."
Although she failed to express her feelings yesterday, Su Wanwan was not discouraged at all. She even developed a complete strategy plan and was determined to defeat Pei Changfeng!
She wrote a full page of paper, and Hong Xing was amazed when she saw it, "Miss, you are so hardworking. If your former teacher saw it, he would be so moved that he would cry."
Su Wanwan doesn't like reading or writing, and she has angered countless teachers. But Su Cha is so spoiled by his daughter that even if one teacher angers her, there will always be another one, and his daughter will always be satisfied.
So, Su Wanwan has managed to learn something so far, for example, her handwriting is quite good.
Before Su Wanwan had enough of admiring Hong Xing, she was about to start implementing the first step of her plan.
To win over a man, you must first win over his stomach.
Su Wanwan came to the kitchen and planned to make a peach blossom cake that was very suitable for the occasion.
Seeing her roll up her sleeves and look excited, Hong Xing hesitated, "Miss, can you make pastries?"
Su Wanwan said confidently, "No!"
Hong Xing: "Then you still..."
Su Wanwan: "But you can learn! Aren't cakes made from flour? Come on, Hong Xing, help me."
Although Hong Xing was a little confused, she still chose to trust Su Wanwan.
When the first pot of peach blossom cake came out and the lid of the steamer was opened, both of them fell silent.
Looking at the indescribable thing in the steamer, Su Wanwan thought for a while, "It should be because I put too much water, but the taste should be okay."
After saying that, she took the chopsticks to taste it, but Hong Xing quickly stopped her, "No, miss!"
Su Wanwan ignored the advice and said, "What's the big deal? I made it myself and didn't poison it. What's there to be afraid of?"
Su Wanwan quickly spat out the limp pastry as she put it in her mouth. "Pah, ah, ah, what the hell is that? It's so sour!"
She rinsed her mouth with clean water, but still felt nauseous. She looked at the pot with annoyance, so she poured it all into the slop bucket and planned to make another pot.
Hong Xing suggested, "Why not ask Aunt Pan to teach you..."
Su Wanwan put her hands on her hips, wanting to say that she could do it, but couldn't say it, "Go ahead..."
When Aunt Pan heard what Su Wanwan was going to do and how she had done it just now, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Miss, this is not how peach blossom cake is made. Come, I'll teach you."
With the help of Aunt Pan, a plate of peach blossom cake was quickly ready. Su Wanwan tasted it and found it was indeed completely different from what she had made.
Su Wanwan was also smart. She followed this method to make apricot blossom cake. When she mastered the method, she wiped her hands and said, "Okay, all we need is a mold."
She asked Hong Xing to find someone to make a mold, and repeatedly told her to follow her requirements. Hong Xing was stunned by what she said.
When Su Cha returned home in the evening, he heard that Su Wanwan had made cakes for him. He was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He tasted one and said with satisfaction: "My daughter has grown up."
Su Zhaozhao burped. "I don't know what trend my sister is following today. She made three large pots of food. I'm almost going to burst my stomach."
Sucha was puzzled, "What's going on?"
Liu Lian came in and heard what the father and son were saying. She replied, "Wanwan is learning how to make pastries. She said she wanted to give some to Pei, what was that, Pei Changfeng."
Su Cha suddenly felt that the cake in his mouth was no longer fragrant. He snorted and said, "He is just a man. Wanwan is still too young."
Liu Lian continued, "Seventeen is not young. I gave birth to Su Zhaozhao when I was seventeen."
Su Cha muttered: "Then how can my daughter compare with you?"
Liu Lian: "Yes, yes, your daughter is the best. Even the Jade Emperor is not worthy of your daughter. Is this okay?"
The mold was made quickly. Su Wanwan found out where the officials from the Hanlin Academy were going after their shift, and then she went over with the pastries she had made.
When Bai Jitong saw a beautiful lady at the door, he thought his eyes were blurry. He looked at her and felt that she looked familiar.
Bai Jitong asked, "Changfeng, do you feel that this girl is familiar to you?"
When he saw Su Wanwan, Pei Changfeng paused for a moment. Realizing that she had seen him, he did not take a detour back.
Seeing that Pei Changfeng didn't answer, Bai Jitong began to feel confused, and then he saw the beautiful lady walking towards him.
He quickly straightened his clothes and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Su Wanwan looked at Pei Changfeng with sparkling eyes, "Brother Changfeng, I made some cakes for you. I made them myself. Do you want to try them?"
Bai Jitong looked at Pei Changfeng in surprise. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he quickly helped to take it over and said to Su Wanwan, "Don't mind it. He is just like that. He doesn't like to talk."
Su Wanwan didn't care. This showed that Pei Changfeng was not a person who liked to mess around with other girls. She still smiled and said to Bai Jitong: "It doesn't matter. I like Brother Changfeng no matter what he is like."
Su Wanwan said to Pei Changfeng: "Brother Changfeng, you must try it. I made it myself. I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving first."
After Su Wanwan got on the carriage, Bai Jitong said to Pei Changfeng: "This girl is extraordinary, very lively, and very beautiful. Pei Changfeng, you are lucky."
Pei Changfeng glanced at the box of pastries, and seemed to be hesitating whether to accept it. Bai Jitong stuffed the box into his arms and said, "The girl made it herself. How can you not accept it?"
After saying that, Bai Jitong left with a smile. It seemed that Pei Changfeng would be teased in the days to come.
After getting on the carriage, Pei Changfeng opened the food box. The first thing he saw was the colorful pastries. The second thing he saw was the word "Wan" on the pastries. Pei Changfeng could even imagine how Su Wanwan looked when she took the pastries out of the molds one by one, and he couldn't help but laugh.
He took a bite of the pastry and found it fragrant, soft and glutinous, indeed very good.
Seeing his son carrying a lunch box back home, Yang Lu was curious, "Did your Hanlin Academy issue it at this time? It's not a festival."
"No," Pei Changfeng paused and said, "A girl gave it to me."
Yang Lu suspected that she had misheard for a moment, "Son, what did you say? I don't think I heard it clearly. Who sent it?"
Pei Changfeng glanced at her and said nothing.
Yang Lu burst into laughter, "Great, son, you finally got it!"
She hurriedly opened the food box and laughed when she saw the cakes. "This girl is quite creative. Wan? Is that her name?"
Pei Changfeng washed his hands and said, "Yes, her name is Su Wanwan."
Perhaps he himself did not realize that his voice was very soft when he uttered these three words.
Yang Lu tasted a piece and guessed what her son was thinking. She felt happy because it seemed that she would soon have a daughter-in-law.
Ever since she made pastries last time, Su Wanwan seemed to have turned on some secret and started making all kinds of pastries every day, making Su Cha and others tired of them.
After Su Wanwan had made enough, she took stock of the types of pastries she had learned to make and planned what to give Pei Changfeng in the next few days.
After making the plan, she felt something was wrong. She would get tired of eating cakes every day, and it would be bad if she was considered a conservative girl.
So, Pei Changfeng would receive cakes sent by Su Wanwan every two days. The flavors were different each time, and the only thing that was the same was the word "Wan". However, the person who delivered the cakes was no longer Su Wanwan, but a little maid beside her.
Today, it was Su Wanwan's turn to deliver cakes. Pei Changfeng left the palace after finishing his shift. When he saw the figure waiting at the door, he seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
Su Wanwan was wearing a lake blue dress, which made her look particularly beautiful. She jumped and danced like a nimble fish.
"Brother Changfeng!"
Her shouting attracted the attention of the people around her, but when they saw that it was a young woman, they all smiled and looked away.
Pei Changfeng walked up to her and saw that Su Wanwan's eyes were sparkling and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Brother Changfeng, guess what delicious food I made for you today."
Pei Changfeng: "Actually, Miss Su, you don't have to do this."
"Guess." Su Wanwan followed beside him.
"The day before yesterday it was lotus leaf cake, could it be locust flower cake today?" Because she cooked this dish too frequently, Pei Changfeng thought about it for a while before thinking of a type she had never cooked before.
"No," Su Wanwan looked at his carriage, "Brother Changfeng, let me get in the carriage."
There was no trace of request in her tone, but rather a righteous tone. Pei Changfeng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he remembered that he had eaten a lot of her pastries, he still let her get on the carriage.
The driver's jaw dropped in shock. Who is this lady? She looks so unfamiliar. He seems to have never seen her before!
After getting on the carriage, Su Wanwan looked at the decorations in the carriage and sniffed, "Brother Changfeng, the carriage smells so good, just like you."
Pei Changfeng staggered and nearly fell, "Miss Su, don't talk nonsense."
Su Wanwan said "Oh" with an innocent look on her face, but she didn't look like she knew she was wrong.
She opened the lunch box and inside was a bowl of noodles with gravy.
"Brother Changfeng, this is the noodle soup I made. I also cooked the stew myself. Try it and see if it tastes good."
As soon as the food box was opened, the aroma of noodles with gravy wafted out. This food was different from pastries and seemed so familiar. Pei Changfeng hesitated.
Su Wanwan had already started mixing the noodles. She mixed the noodles evenly and wanted to feed them to Pei Changfeng.
Pei Changfeng took the chopsticks and said, "I'll do it myself."
He took a small bite and found it tasted just the right amount of saltiness, very good.
Pei Changfeng saw a small red dot on the back of Su Wanwan's hand. It looked so out of place on her fair hand, like a flaw.
"What happened to your hand?"
Su Wanwan glanced at the back of her hand, not intending to hide it from him at all, "I got burned when I was frying the stew."
She seemed to be made of water. She was fine just now, but in a moment her eyes were filled with tears. She stretched her hand forward, as if she wanted Pei Changfeng to see more clearly.
"Don't do it again in the future." Pei Changfeng said.
"If you promise to accompany me to go boating the day after tomorrow, then I won't do it," Su Wanwan blinked, "I've found out everything. You guys have a day off the day after tomorrow."
When she blinked, she looked like a cunning little fox. In fact, her eyes were more like a deer. However, because Su Wanwan was so delicate and beautiful, she really didn't look like a deer.
Pei Changfeng thought about it and decided that since he had nothing to do the next day and he had eaten so much of her food, he should agree to her request, so he agreed.
Su Wanwan was so happy that she had invited her lover. She secretly encouraged herself in her heart, and then naturally asked Pei Changfeng to take her back home.
Pei Changfeng actually felt that he should not agree, but for some reason, he agreed.
After returning home, Su Wanwan shared the good news with Su Cha and Liu Lian.
Liu Lian sighed: "Young people are indeed smart."
Su Cha was not very happy, "That kid took all the advantage."
The place where they went boating was at a beautiful lakeside. It was spring, willows were swaying in the wind, and there was light smoke on both sides of the lakebed.
In addition to the two of them, Bai Jitong and Su Chaochao also came with them. Bai Jitong came along on his own initiative to see if he had the luck to meet a beauty like Pei Changfeng, while Su Chaochao was arranged by Su Cha to come with his support for Su Wanwan.
Bai Jitong booked a boat, and the four of them got on board together. Su Wanwan consciously sat next to Pei Changfeng. Both of them were wearing white clothes today, and they looked particularly well-matched.
Although Su Chaochao was arranged by Su Cha, she had no intention of hindering her sister at all. After all, Su Wanwan's beatings were much more painful than Su Cha's.
Bai Jitong sat at the bow, looking around, as if regretting his decision to ride on the same boat with Pei Changfeng. He felt that he was a bit of a hindrance.
As luck would have it, Chen Zhang was also there, so Bai Jitong asked him to row the boat over. When the two boats met, Bai Jitong took Su Chaochao to Chen Zhang's boat.
Only Su Wanwan and Pei Changfeng were left in the boat. Su Wanwan took out the handkerchief she had embroidered and said, "Brother Changfeng, this is the handkerchief I embroidered. I give it to you."
The embroidery pattern on the handkerchief was very simple, with two little birds snuggling together. Su Wanwan had originally planned to embroider mandarin ducks, but her craftsmanship was not up to par, so she could only embroider the birds.
Pei Changfeng took the handkerchief and looked at it for a while before he understood what she meant. He looked at Su Wanwan, whose face was red and she was also looking at him.
Pei Changfeng turned his head away awkwardly, "Thank you, Miss Su."
He put away the handkerchief.
Su Wanwan whispered, "Brother Changfeng, do you have anything you want to give me?"
Pei Changfeng really didn't have anything to give away, so Su Wanwan pointed at the jade pendant on his waist and said, "Brother Changfeng, can I have this?"
Hanging around his waist was a piece of mutton-fat jade worth a thousand gold coins, which Yang Lu gave him as a gift for turning twenty and coming of age.
Su Wanwan pointed at the jade and said, "I think it goes well with my dress."
"Since you like it, take it." Pei Changfeng took the jade and handed it to her.
It's just a vulgar thing, not worth mentioning - Pei Changfeng thought.
