The next day, Chun Lian went to Piaoxiang Pavilion to pick up the kidney bean rolls that she ordered yesterday, and met Fang Fu again when she walked near the moat.

Fang Fu came hurriedly from the front alone, but he didn't seem to see Chun Lian.When Chunlian saw that he was about to pass her, she stomped her feet and called him softly.

"Fang Fu!"

Fang Fu looked around in astonishment, only to find the petite Chunlian behind him.

Fang Fu smiled at her honestly and said, "Miss Chunlian, why are you here?"

Chun Lian looked at him in a daze, and felt annoyed and amused in her heart. Instead of answering Fang Fu's question, she asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Fang Fu smiled, lowered his eyes and pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "A brother of mine came to the capital today. He is not familiar with the place where he lived. I just want to go and see him because I am taking a rest today."

Chun Lian covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Fang Fu, you are really enthusiastic."

Fang Fu lowered his head and scratched the back of his head, his gaze fell to the ground with contempt and complacency.

"Look at you sweating profusely from running, wipe it off." Chun Lian took out a handkerchief from her body and handed it to Fang Fu.

Fang Fu backed off and said, "This can't be done."

Chun Lian gave him an angry look, and said, "Isn't it just a handkerchief? Take it, and this." She directly stuffed the pink handkerchief embroidered with peony flowers into Fang Fu's hand, and then took the handkerchief from her arms. He took out a kidney bean roll from the oil paper and handed it to him.

"This is..." Fang Fu held the things Chunlian gave him with both hands in embarrassment.

"This is mine. The new cakes in Piaoxiang Pavilion are delicious. You can go back and taste them." Chunlian looked up at the sun, turned around and waved to him, "I have to go back to the mansion. , the next time you wash the handkerchief, return it to me."

Chun Lian's cheeks on both sides were a little rosy, her eyelashes blinked, and she walked quickly towards the back door of the General's Mansion upstream of the moat.

Fang Fu waited for the people to go away, then threw away the soft and sticky kidney bean roll in his hand with a little disgust, wiped his hand with Chunlian's exquisitely embroidered handkerchief, and threw it on the ground casually.It's just that the veil was blown by the wind and fell into the river before it hit the ground.

It seems that this Chunlian is naive, so everyone believed his words.How can he have any brothers, he will appear here today just to make such a show.As long as you make Chun Lian happy, you should be able to enter the General's Mansion very quickly. It's not bad to work in Wen Pang's place, but Fang Fu has a big heart and even has a higher status. Why doesn't he grasp it well? ?

As long as Chun Lian is used properly, he will definitely get a lot of benefits. Fang Fu has always thought that he is a smart and good at doing things.With his perfect tongue and ability, if you don't believe it, you still can't gain a firm foothold in the General's Mansion!As long as he enters the General's Mansion and catches up with Luan Tian, ​​it's only a matter of time.

Fang Fu walked to the railing of the moat, looked down at the ripples on the river with deep eyes, and a smug smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

A few figures suddenly flashed out where he didn't pay attention, and the figures silently and quickly arrived behind Fang Fu.When Fang Fu heard the sound behind him and was about to turn back, it was too late, and only a few shadows covered him.Fang Fu could only stare wide-eyed, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.

There was a sudden "boom" sound near the moat where people were extremely rare.

The blue water of the lake is sparkling and shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.The water droplets splashed on the lake slowly fell back to the original place and merged into the water, and the waves gradually changed from large to small.

The moat was as silent as ever.

People come and go on Changning Street, facing each other with their backs.

Xiao Jin, who was hiding in the crowd, was wearing a very common clothes today, at first glance, he was no different from the common people who came and went.He turned his body slightly, and stood in front of a vendor's stall, randomly picking and choosing, but his peripheral vision fell silently under a big banyan tree not far from the entrance of Piaoxiang Pavilion.

The people hiding under the banyan tree kept watching a woman walking from a distance. The woman entered the Piaoxiang Pavilion, and after a while, she came out holding a bag of cakes wrapped in oil paper, and walked towards the moat. direction to go.

The man who had been watching her watched her walk a certain distance before quietly following behind her.

Xiao Jin put down the small object in his hand, turned around and looked at the backs of the two of them.

I really didn't expect that Fang Fu would approach a woman he had just met for the sake of profit and status.

Xiao Jin shook his head, Fang Fu had lost interest at all.

And the merchant behind Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Jin and shook his head again, as if he wanted to leave again, but he was a little anxious.Xiao Jin is the son of a big merchant, and he is also married to First Young Master Wen, so the sales must be very generous, and vendors who sell small things don't want to let go of this business.

He rubbed his hands and asked carefully: "Master Xiao, but you don't like it? There are some good things hidden here, why don't you take a look?"

Xiao Jin turned around and wanted to wave his hand, but the other party took his chance to speak and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, take a look first, maybe you can buy it back to please Young Master Wen, right?"

After finishing speaking, the vendor rummaged under the stall and found an old locked box. He was afraid that Xiao Jin would dislike it, and there was no dust on the box, so he cleaned it nervously, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, look, Although this thing is not worth much, it is expensive because of its novelty."

The vendor opened the box and pushed it towards Xiao Jin, so that Xiao Jin could see it clearly.Xiao Jin lowered his head, reached out to take the things in the box, and squinted to look.

In fact, this treasure from the vendor is just an ordinary jade ball, a bit like a Baoding iron ball, but slightly larger than ordinary Baoding iron balls, the size of a green fruit, but if you just hold one in each hand, it is just right.Xiao Jin weighed the jade ball in his hand, held it up for a closer look under the light, and tapped the surface with his fingers to listen to the sound.

The jade ball is slightly heavy, and the sound is crisp and sweet, warm and lustrous, crystal clear and clear.If you are not an expert, you may really think that this is a high-grade jade. Xiao Jin smiled, raised the jade ball again, and looked carefully at the inside of the translucent jade ball through the light.

This jade ball is actually more like a glass ball, it is jade but it is not a high-grade jade, it is just a deceptively inferior jade.

However, this jade ball is indeed like the merchant who said that the novelty is the most important thing.

Inside the translucent jade body, there are two interdependent human figures looming. It is impossible to carve it manually with the current technology, but it seems that it is a wonderful workmanship of nature.

If you give this little gadget to your sweetheart, you may be able to win some kindness.

However, Xiao Jin didn't have any sweetheart, so he pursed his lips and put the jade ball back into the box.

The peddler was anxious when he saw it, because he didn't like Xiao Jin's intentions.

"Master Xiao, why, didn't you like it? Although the material of this thing is ordinary, but you have seen it before, but it is rare to see it. This thing is small and bought in the hands of a foreign merchant, and the price is not low. If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop, usually the small ones are reluctant to sell, the small ones admire the young master, Master Xiao, if you want, the small ones will be cheaper for you.”

Xiao Jin watched him actively promote sales, and then heard him mention Wen Yelan, his thoughts changed.Although he is a big man and can't use it, but this thing is really good, and it might be interesting to buy it back to tease Master Wen.

Maybe Young Master Wen likes this jade ball quite a bit.

Xiao Jin thought of Wen Yelan, smiled, and asked the vendor to wrap things up.

Xiao Jin walked forward for a while, just passing by the door of Piaoxiang Pavilion, and he smelled a sweet and greasy fragrance on the tip of his nose.

He touched the jade hidden in his waist, and somehow he stopped at the stone steps of Piaoxiang Pavilion.

Piaoxiang Pavilion is a newly opened pastry shop recently. The pastries they make are unique and unique, with a variety of flavors, which are very popular among ladies and wives.In just a short period of time, there is a tendency to catch up with some century-old shops in the capital.

Moreover, on the second day of each month, Piaoxiang Pavilion will launch new dim sum for a limited time and in limited quantities. If you don't buy it that day, you can only wait until the next new dim sum is released in the next month before it will be officially launched.

A few girls came out of Piaoxiang Pavilion. They couldn't wait to remove the oil paper as they walked, and took a bite of the snow-white kidney bean roll with red filling. They tasted delicious, and the pastry looked delicious.

Xiao Jin glanced at the snacks they held in their hands, and remembered the kidney bean rolls that Chun Lian also bought, looked at the not-too-crowded scene inside and pondered for a while before stepping up the steps.

At this time, Wen Yelan in the other courtyard of Weifu was staying in the study, with a blank sheet of paper on the desk, and he was frowning and writing something seriously on it.

In just a moment, the originally blank paper was filled with strong and resolute fonts.

After Wen Yelan filled a blank sheet of paper, he took out a new sheet of paper from the other side and continued to flick it.Taking a closer look, there was already a stack of papers with the same handwriting on the other side of him.

Mei Xiang knocked on the door and walked in with a tray in her hand.

"Master, today Piaoxiang Pavilion sent some rolls of kidney beans." Mei Xiang walked towards Wen Yelan, took a plate of dim sum from the tray in her hand and placed it in front of him.

Wen Yelan rubbed her wrists, put down the brush lightly, took the tea from Mei Xiang, and drank it down her dry throat.He looked at the delicate and small kidney bean rolls in front of him, reached out and picked up a piece, took a bite, and the silky taste instantly overflowed the tip of his tongue.

"Where's Xiao Jin?" Wen Yelan swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the pastry in his hand, and asked clapping his hands.

Mei Xiang lowered her head and replied, "Master Xiao went out this morning..."

Before Mei Xiang finished speaking, Mei Lan, who was guarding the door, came in and said, "Master, Master Xiao is back."

Wen Yelan frowned as he looked at the pastry in front of him that he had only eaten a bite of, and said to them, "You guys go down first." After Mei Xiangmei Lan walked out of the house, Wen Yelan reluctantly hid the plate of kidney bean rolls in the room. In the compartment under the table.

As soon as Xiao Jin walked to the gate of the Weifu Courtyard with the oil paper ball in his arms, he was bumped by a person who rushed up in front of him. The opponent seemed to have mastered the strength, but made Xiao Jin take two steps back.

Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes and watched the person who hit him run away, and moved his fingers lightly.

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the other courtyard of Weifu. When he reached an empty corner, Xiao Jin took out a small note from his waist that was secretly stuffed by the other party.

"Pawn."

There was only a distorted word pawn on it, but Xiao Jin already understood the meaning, he rolled up the note and put it in his belt, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

He walked to the study room, nodded to Mei Xiangmei Lan who was guarding the door, knocked on the door and walked in.

Wen Yelan just wrote the last word, blew on the wet handwriting, rolled up his sleeves sideways, soaked in the water basin on the high chair next to him, and then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, noticing that his eyes slowly shifted to his own hands, and the corners of his mouth were raised again.

"I heard that the dim sum in Piaoxiang Pavilion is quite good, so I bought some back, want to try it?" Xiao Jin approached him and took off the greased paper on his hand.

Wen Yelan pursed her lips, glanced at him, then glanced at the kidney bean rolls in the oiled paper, her lips were almost pursed into a slit.

"Don't like it?" Seeing that he didn't move, Xiao Jin frowned.Doesn't Young Master Wen like to eat sweets?Isn't this kidney bean wrap sweet?

Wen Yelan caught a glimpse of his frowning, reached out and took a piece, put it to his mouth and began to eat slowly.

"...Not bad..." Wen Yelan finished speaking in a low voice with her head tilted, and she stuck out her tongue to lick the pastry crumbs on her lower lip.

Xiao Jin closed his eyes, silently taking his appearance into his eyes, his dark pupils were momentarily deep.

"Young master, stretch out your hand." Xiao Jin covered the look in his eyes, and looked up at Wen Yelan.

"Huh?" Wen Yelan was surprised, but obediently stretched out his hand.

Xiao Jin took out the jade ball and put it in his hand, Wen Yelan felt a coolness, blinked, and curiously raised the crystal clear jade ball to have a look.

"Send it to you, as a return gift for these materials." Xiao Jin took out the imperial examination questions written by Wen Yelan himself, and smiled.

Young Master Wen pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

Even if Xiao Jin is acquainted, it is best not to tell him that the Piaoxiang Pavilion was opened by him.

Wen Yelan pursed her lips and drooped her eyes, her eyes paused for a moment in the compartment under the desk, and finally moved away without a trace.
