"Why is this pastry black and red? It looks unique, but I wonder if it tastes good!"

Even from a short distance away, Shen Fenghua could still smell the sweetness of the hawthorn cake.

Song Jinshu took the food box and placed it on the table. He then took it out and arranged it, saying with a smile, "This is hawthorn cake. My sisters are very clever and always share their goodies with me first. Master Shen, come and try some too!"

She picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and took a small taste. It was sour and sweet, just the taste in her memory!

Shen Fenghua swallowed his saliva, thinking that as a grown man, why would he eat pastries!

But seeing how much Song Jinshu enjoyed eating it, he couldn't help but walk forward and pick up a piece.

But he said, "Okay! I can't refuse such kindness!"

As soon as Shen Fenghua took the first bite of the hawthorn cake, his eyes lit up!

It was not the first time for him to eat these cakes made by his daughters, but the cakes he had eaten before were too sweet and greasy, and it felt like biting candy when he took a bite.

The hawthorn cake in his hand is sweet but not greasy, and has a hint of sourness, which makes people's appetite increase.

"Your Excellency is truly blessed! The cakes my sister makes are probably a hundred times more delicious than those in Kyoto!"

Even though he doesn't like sweets, he couldn't help but pick up a second piece after trying it.

Song Jinshu smiled with great pride: "Of course! My sister's cooking is delicious!"

She noticed that Shen Fenghua was eating faster and knew that he was very satisfied.

Thinking about not being able to help her sisters' careers and attract business, she casually said, "Speaking of which, my sisters opened a pastry shop in the south of the county town. If Master Shen likes it, he can buy some to try when they release new products."

After saying that, she hid the remaining pieces of hawthorn cake into the food box. Shen Fenghua ate them very quickly.

She hadn't even taken two pieces when the man finished the pastry.

Looking at Song Jinshu who was protecting his food, Shen Fenghua curled her lips and said, "Stingy."

But this pastry really suits his appetite. The more he eats, the more he wants to eat. Now that there is no more to eat, he wants to eat something to fill his stomach.

Song Jinshu saw his expression and explained, "I'm just worried that you'll eat too much and get a stomachache!"

"Hawthorn cake promotes digestion. Eating too much can cause diarrhea. This is for your own good!"

Shen Fenghua just thought that these were her excuses to protect her food, but she didn't try to grab it.

Song Jinshu thought that good things should not be enjoyed alone, so he took the food box out the door while Shen Fenghua was not paying attention.

It happened that Datou and Lizi were on duty today. When they saw Song Jinshu coming out, they asked in confusion, "What are your instructions, sir?"

Song Jinshu held up the cakes in his hand and said, "There are still some cakes left. You can help yourselves with a few pieces, and help deliver the rest to County Magistrate Lu!"

Big Head responded solemnly and took the food box. Li Zi's eyes rolled around, as if he had figured something out.

After Song Jinshu entered, Datou was about to open the food box when he was hit on the head: "Fool! This is not for you!"

Big Head looked at Li Zi in confusion, "What's wrong, Li Zi? Didn't the master just tell us to eat a few pieces?"

Could he have heard it wrong?

Big Head scratched his head and thought about it again. Li Zi pulled him to the corner with a look of disappointment.

"You're so stupid! Didn't you hear the second half of what the adults said?"

Big Head looked at him in confusion and nodded, "I heard! He told us to eat the remaining pieces and give them to County Magistrate Lu!"

Li Zi sighed helplessly, too lazy to explain to the fool, and said directly: "Anyway, this thing is not something you and I can eat! Hurry and send it to County Magistrate Lu!"

If you don’t even have this awareness, how are you going to work under adults in the future?

Li Zi couldn't help but worry about Datou. He could see clearly that he didn't know what would happen to their Lord Song and County Magistrate Lu in the future!

Now he didn't dare to block the communication between the two. If they got together in the future, he would be considered a red line.

Datou knew that he was not as smart as Li Zi, so after hesitating for a moment, he took the things and left the county government office and went to Lu Ruoyu's house.

Lu Ruoyu happened to come back from Wenquan Town and met Big Head who was wandering around his door with a food box.

"Bighead? Why are you here? But the master wants to talk to me about something?" Lu Ruoyu asked in confusion.

Could it be about the hot spring villa?

Datou heard a familiar voice, looked up and saw it was Lu Ruoyu, his face lit up with joy: "County Magistrate Lu, you are finally back!"

"My lord, there's nothing wrong! It's just that my sister made some new cakes and asked me to bring them to you to try!"

After thinking for a while, Big Head suddenly said something like, "This adult only gave it to you. We have nothing to eat!"

Lu Ruoyu was surprised and very surprised. Could there be some secret message hidden in it for him?

"Yes! Thank you very much! Please thank the master for me when you get back!"

Big Head scratched his head, wondering if what he had just said was wrong.

But he said he had already said it, and he was embarrassed to change his words, so he just agreed hurriedly and turned back to the county government office.

Lu Ruoyu was left alone holding the food box in a daze. He looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he opened the door and went in.

Then he took the lunch box and went straight to the study, and solemnly opened it...

There were a few black and red pastries lying quietly inside, which were different from ordinary pastries.

He frowned, brought out the pastries, and carefully checked every detail of the pastries.

Seeing that there was no secret letter enclosed, he couldn't help feeling confused.

Song Jinshu is not such a scheming person. If she has something to do, she will just come to him casually.

I guess she was just simply sending him some cakes.

It was just that Big Head's specific words just now made him nervous.

After figuring it out, Lu Ruoyu relaxed, sat upright in the chair, and picked up the pastry to taste it.

He never liked pastries, but just because she liked them, he would prepare some for her every time he went out on business.

When he took a bite of the hawthorn cake, he was surprised to find that this cake was different from the others.

It tastes sour and sweet. After eating it, I just feel that my stomach is much better.

Could it be that this pastry can help digestion?

In just a few seconds, he guessed the effect of hawthorn cake.

Thinking that these were made by Song Jinshu's sister, he vaguely guessed that they would be sold.

However, Lu Ruoyu felt that Song Jinshu made an indispensable contribution to the fact that such a rare thing could be made by the Song sisters.

She always comes up with so many weird ideas.

It’s a surprise every time!

Before he knew it, he had eaten all the hawthorn cakes that Datou had brought...

Thousands of miles away, in the imperial study of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

The emperor was reviewing memorials when a sealed letter fell out from one of the memorials.

He picked it up and looked at the date on the letter. It was several days ago.

The emperor frowned and asked Eunuch Yang who was standing beside him, "Where did this letter come from?"
