Marry a wife to be the emperor

After everything was settled, Mrs. Ye returned to Pei's house first, and Pei Qinghong went to the Ministry of Industry with the contracts that had just been drawn up, and a crescent moon had already hung on the willows.

When he was in Huiyuan Building, he had dinner. He was going back to Pei's mansion empty-handed, but he stopped when he passed by Mingxing residence. The wrapped crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake cut into the shape of a flower was securely held in the hand.It happened to be the last one, and it was very comfortable to hold in the palm of my hand.

He remembered that it was written on the list that Lan Min had a special preference for sweets with beautiful shapes, except that he could not eat dim sum with lotus seed paste, sweet glutinous rice cakes from old man Li's house, steamed mung bean cake from Huiyuan Building, and water steamed buns sold by Tofu Xishi ...

Among them, Lan Min's favorite is Mingxingju's crystal osmanthus cake, but Mingxingju's crystal osmanthus cake is rarely supplied on weekdays, and it is also a favorite of many high-ranking officials. There are servants from various families queuing here wait.If it wasn't for the coincidence that he came today, he might not be able to buy this sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

When he returned to his yard with the small portion of snacks, he bumped into the book boy Shijiu who came back from the warehouse. The other party was holding a list in his hand, which smelled faintly of ink.

"Master, you're back!" Nineteen just rushed in and almost bumped into Pei Qinghong's body. He was not happy at first, but when he saw Pei Qinghong's face, his face immediately changed, and he approached with a smile, his nose still Shrugging, and then amazed: "Master, you bought Mingxingju's osmanthus cake, right! I can't bear to eat it once a month, and it's so hard to buy, it's delicious. "

Seeing the intoxicated look on his face, Pei Qinghong unconsciously moved the small bag of pastries to the back, and walked forward with long legs. Nineteen had to trot to keep up with him.

The young man asked with a clear voice, "What was that thing you held in your hand just now?"

"You said this, Mr. Lang told me to choose the makeup gift for the cousin of the Lan family who is going to marry according to the items on this list. I have been tossing back and forth between the warehouse and the main room all afternoon. These rouges The gouache was sent by Princess Rongxin."

Pei Qinghong's footsteps paused: "Sister-in-law, is she here today?"

"Yeah." Nineteen nodded, "Don't blame me for talking too much, it seems that the princess doesn't like our lord very much, and thinking about these things coming here today will make him unhappy, but fortunately, lord Be nice and don't argue with her."

"and after?"

Nineteen pinched the piece of paper and shook his head: "I didn't know later, Mr. Lang asked me to go to the warehouse. I was not there at the time. When I came back, I saw the princess and her subordinate Dongmei Qiulan go out. Yes. At that time, the princess’s face was really scary, and I walked in with my head down, for fear that she would tear me apart if she was unhappy.”

There was a smile in Pei Qinghong's eyes, but the expression on his face was very serious: "It's not that exaggerated, you should be careful with your mouth, if you continue to mess around like this in the future, I will ask Zhu Yan to sew your mouth shut."

The little book boy put the list in his sleeve, first made a gesture of covering his mouth, then put his hands together and begged for mercy: "Stop talking, don't talk, I will never chew my tongue again next time, good master You must not tell this to the princess aunt, or I will turn from nineteen to dumb nine."

Before passing through the flower hall and entering the gate of the main room, Pei Qinghong let go: "Okay, don't be poor, just go in and deal with your list carefully."

Seeing his little bookboy leaving alive and kicking again, Pei Qinghong shook his head helplessly and walked into the house.Lan Min obviously had a good rest this afternoon, and his sister-in-law's visit didn't bother him too much. His pale face in the carriage was now pale pink, looking Like a freshly ripe peach.

The other party was concentrating on painting, and it was not until he stood beside him for a long time, until the last stroke was made, that the other party realized: "When did Mu Zhi come back? Did you eat outside?"

"It's not long since I've been back. I've already used it in Huiyuan Building. I brought you this. You should like it." Pei Qinghong shook his head and put the small paper bag on the table, "Don't rush to open it, guess what? Guess what this is?"

Lan Min only glanced at the paper bag and said firmly, "This is Mingxingju's crystal osmanthus cake."

Pei Qinghong carefully spread out the paper bag, revealing the translucent petal-shaped pastry in the middle, and sighed with a smile: "I didn't expect Zijue's nose to be sharper than Nineteen's."

"It's just because I like it and it's rare to eat it once. This kind of packaging method is only available in Ming Xingju. Their family's summer is the best selling osmanthus cake."

When Lan Min was the son of the Lan family, it was impossible for his servants to buy expensive pastries from time to time, and it was impossible for Lan Min to move the entire Ming Xingju to the palace as the Supreme Emperor. It also lost the original taste and unique artistic conception of eating.He still prefers to eat these folk pastries compared to the pastries carefully made by Liyu in the palace.

Lan Min shared half of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and gave it to Pei Qinghong: "I had dinner earlier, and I couldn't finish this all night."

The latter originally wanted to say that he didn't like sweets, but he swallowed the words back, and spit out another sentence abruptly: "Then thank you, madam, for giving up my love, I just want to try it too. What a blessing to have made this thing to have Zijue's favor."

After the two of them finished eating the few pastries, Pei Qinghong didn't intend to mention Princess Rongxin's affairs, but just looked at each other silently for a while, and then broke the silence: "It will be Zijue's birthday in a few days, I'm sorry , you may not be able to spend the whole day with you on your birthday when you come to the mansion."

Lan Min stopped his hands and looked up at him. Pei Qinghong continued to explain: "Mu Zhi's birthday coincides with the Supreme Emperor's birthday. As Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I have to check the repair situation in advance, and I also have to look at the venue. The Feng Shui problem of the layout. What's more, I am a minister, and if there is no accident, I will have to stay in the palace until Xushi."

After Pei Qinghong finished speaking, he looked at Lan Min's face again. The other party was stunned for a moment, and then said "oh", then lowered his curvy neck, lowered his eyelids, and let the long eyelashes like butterfly wings cover the deep eyes of his eyes. streamer.
