Bai Chu took Qin Shu directly to the small side hall.
Although it is called a small side hall, it is actually not small, and there are several pots of elegant orchids placed in them.
Qin Shu helped him put out the dishes.
At this moment, Bai Chu suddenly exclaimed, "I've never seen these two dishes and cakes before."
Bai Chu was very familiar with what dishes Zhang Xiuyuan could cook. Although he had given some pastries as a gift in the past, these were not the ones in front of him.
Qin Shu scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Bai Chu to see through it. She originally didn't intend to tell it because she was afraid that Bai Chu wouldn't like it.
After a while, she stammered, "Well, I did that."
"I don't know if you'll like it. If you don't like it, then don't eat it later. Just eat what Brother Xiuyuan makes."
Bai Chu's amber eyes were filled with surprise: "So you made it, no wonder it's different. However, this dish smells very fragrant, and this pastry looks exquisite..."
As he spoke, Bai Chu picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of mung bean cake, took a bite, and chewed it carefully.
Qin Shu ordered it in anxious anticipation: "It's delicious." After saying that, he took another bite, as if he was still not satisfied.
Qin Shu's heart was so happy that it almost flew away: "If you like it, I will make it for you often in the future."
"Okay, I'll wait."
Qin Shu pursed her lips and smiled. Would this give her more opportunities to meet Bai Chu?
All the food was brought out, and just as the two were about to start eating, a maid suddenly walked in.
"Master, the magistrate of Rong County has arrived with his husband and daughter. He and his wife asked me to call you over."
Bai Chu frowned slightly. To be honest, he wanted to stay and have dinner with Qin Shu, but over there...
Qin Shu saw his dilemma and quickly said, "Since your parents are calling you over, then go ahead. I'll wait for you."
Bai Chu considered it for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll be back soon. I'll try to come back early. If you're hungry, you can eat first."
"Um."
Bai Chu left without delay.
Originally a small side hall for two people, now only Qin Shu is left.
She looked at the table full of food in front of her, feeling listless and losing her appetite for a moment.
"It's okay, wait a moment." Maybe Bai Chu will be back soon.
About a quarter of an hour later, a sound was heard outside the small side hall. Qin Shu stood up immediately, but when he saw that it was a maid outside the door, he became listless again.
"Miss Qin, the young master may not be here so soon. He told you to eat first. No need to wait for him. After eating, you can walk outside the courtyard and exercise."
"Okay, I understand."
After the maid left, the small side hall became quiet again.
The originally steaming hot food has lost much of its temperature.
Qin Shu was unwilling to give up and waited a little longer.
Bai Chu had finally invited her to dinner, so how could she eat alone first?
Qin Shu held his chin with both hands, looked at the food on the table, and continued to wait.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
Qin Shu's spirits wilted even more. He stood up and walked out.
She planned to take a short walk, stretch her legs, and then come back to continue waiting, but she didn't expect to hear the chatter of the maids and servants.
"I didn't expect Miss Lu Ying to come again. It seems that she really likes our young master."
"Our young master is handsome, gentle and polite, and he's the son of the county magistrate. Who wouldn't like him? I heard that Miss Lu Ying has taken a fancy to our young master and wants to marry him."
