The general and his spoiled wife

In the back garden of the Liu Mansion, Qing Ao, who was sitting in front of the stone table, held a small square snack in her hand and fed it to Yunci's lips. She had a bright smile in her eyes, full of enthusiasm and sincerity, and she was very different from the old days. In stark contrast to his cautiousness: "A Ci, try it?"

Uneasiness was hidden in the voice, Qing Ao's eyes moved suddenly, and he encouraged again: "Aci, try it?"

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was about to touch Yunci's lips, but Yunci avoided it with a smile, and looked sideways at the swing frame not far away.

The wind blows the flowers and plants, and the air is mixed with the unique coolness of this season.

Qing Ao's expectant eyes gradually dimmed, she put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake back on the porcelain plate, thought about it for some reason, picked it up again and fed it to her mouth again.

Furongfang is a century-old brand in Yuzhou City, with excellent pastries.

Today, she deliberately went out half an hour early to line up at Furongfang. She thought a lot before coming to Liu's mansion.After much deliberation, what I want to do the most is not only to eat fish with Ah Ci, but also to feed her pastries with my own hands.

She loves the intimacy.

The fragrant, delicious, sweet but not greasy pastry entered his stomach. Qing Ao took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped each knuckle carefully, glanced at the demure and gentle eyes of the person opposite, and slowly a bitterness welled up in his throat. .

Osmanthus cake is sweet, but her heart is bitter.

The temptation was ultimately rejected.

Sighing in the wind, Qing Ao asked: "Can I ask who that person is? Which lucky one got Ah Ci's heart?"

Yun Ci smiled lightly: "Why do you have to test repeatedly? Who do I like, you really can't tell? Qing Ao and I are confidants. If you look for a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, Ao should know my heart."

confidant?The only female number one scholar in Dayu Kingdom twitched the corners of her lips bitterly: "Do you know? If I had a choice, I would rather not understand you."

Because I know you, I also know that you are resolute and cold at this moment, leaving no room for it.

"Is he nice to you?" Qing Ao asked.

"Very good. I feel good no matter how she treats me." Yun Ci's eyebrows and eyes curved: "Ao, I love her so much. I want to be with her forever and never be separated until death."

Qing Ao's heart sank to the bottom: "The boy in sackcloth who sent you the love letter is also him?"

Yun Ci looked back and exclaimed: "I knew that Ao was smarter than everyone else."

"Is this also the romantic interest he sent you?"

"Yes, I like it very much."

"What about me?" Qing Ao took a sip of tea: "Without him, you would be willing to try to be with me...and me..." After all, she couldn't say those words.

After waiting for a while, Yun Ci seriously said: "How could there be no her? Without her, where would I be? Even without her, Ao, I wouldn't like you."

She explained softly: "I like courageous people. You don't even dare to say that you like it. How can you stand side by side with me? Others can't do it, but she can."

"All the qualities in her are what I envy. I love her, I love her air bag, and I love her fragrant soul. I like her every move, every frown and every smile. Ao, what you gave birth to me It's not love, it's appreciation, what's more..."

She said word by word: "Ao, it's not because I'm so good, it's because you are so lonely."

Gentleness and tenderness beating someone's heart.After being slightly startled, Qing Ao frowned and sighed: "Maybe."

Now it seems that she and Yunci are indeed bosom friends.

She saw the feelings in Yun Ci's heart, and Yun Ci saw clearly the fragility she had hidden.

She knew early on that it would be difficult for the rest of her life to fall in love with a man. After meeting Yunci, she was like a traveler walking in the dark meeting the light.It's a pity that this light, after all, doesn't want to go with her.

"Aci..." Qing Ao worriedly said: "Aren't you afraid of paying by mistake? No matter how good he is, he is a man after all, and a man has three wives and four concubines, can you bear it?"

"She will not betray me, nor will she have three wives and four concubines."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, to believe in her is to believe in myself. I can't even believe in myself. Who else can I believe in?"

"Is the love between you... already so deep?" Qing Ao held the teacup in her hand, and the temperature of the tea spread to her palm through the cup wall, she murmured: "Can't you tolerate other people?"

"I can't stand it."

"I see."

Qing Ao left very quickly, Jiang Huai sat on the roof, the wind blew her robe, she looked at Qing Ao's dejected back, slowly, her eyes turned back to her little girl.

Ah Ci is wearing a light yellow dress today, which accentuates her slender waist, fair skin and beautiful skin. A string of thin gold chains is placed on her collarbone. It was her 17th birthday present for Ah Ci. Look at it As I watched, a warmth slowly flowed in my heart.

She understands lip language, and has no intention of 'listening' to A Ci's conversation with others.Jiang Huai was lying on the roof with her arms under her pillow, the corners of her lips raised, she was overjoyed.

As soon as she thought of Ah Ci admitting that she liked her in front of outsiders, and resolutely rejecting other people's favor, she was filled with joy and couldn't wait to do something for her.

At the door, the servants of the Liu Mansion knocked on the door with wedding cakes: "Is anyone there? Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Jiang Huai jumped down and took out the mask from her arms as quickly as possible.

The door was opened, and the maid's hand carrying the basket couldn't help trembling: "It was sent from the Liu family next door..."

The bamboo basket was stuffed into her arms, and the little maid ran very fast, like a vicious dog was chasing after her.

Standing in the wind, Jiang Huai was surprised for a while, touched the smooth mask, and thought: Is it so scary?Isn't it just a cat face mask?

She touched the mask with her hand, and her body froze for a moment.

When I took off the mask, I couldn't laugh or cry, well, I took it wrong, I took the Raksha mask made on a whim two days ago.

Hmm... You didn't frighten that little girl, did you?

At the same time, the servant girl Fangzhi ran back to the mansion, out of breath, Nian'er let out a little gasp: "Didn't you go to deliver wedding cakes to the neighbor, why did you come back so soon?"

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, the little maid was so frightened that tears flowed from her eyes, Nian'er said in shock, "What's wrong? But what happened?"

Fang Zhi cried more and more fiercely, sobbing and saying: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L Lv ..."

Now Yunci is in charge of the entire Liu Mansion, and she takes care of all the big and small matters in the family.She also didn't expect that the little maid would be scared and cry for something as 'festive' as sending wedding cakes.

But... wearing a mask in broad daylight is a bit strange, and wearing a Rakshasa mask unexpectedly makes it easy to be frightened when you open the door.She said softly: "Don't cry, maybe the other party didn't mean it."

The young lady had spoken, Fangzhi didn't dare to cry anymore, she said with red eyes: "Miss, do you want... Do you want to find out the details of that person? There is only a wall between the two families, what if it is a bad person?"

"Don't worry. If it's a villain, someone will come forward to solve it." Yun Ci opened the game record and continued to study to break the game.

Next door, Jiang Huai looked at the wedding cakes in the small bamboo basket, and had a sudden thought: Reciprocity is a gift, should she also make some snacks for A Ci?

Just do what you say, go out and buy a lot of things, after cleaning, Jiang Huai is busy in the kitchen.

An hour later, two batches of pastries with different flavors were ready, and Jiang Huai squinted her eyes in satisfaction.She seldom makes cakes, and Ah Ci must not be able to taste that they are made by her.

So, what reason should I use to send it over?

Jiang Huai knocked on the gate of Liu Mansion wearing a cat face mask, and the gate looked at her in surprise: "What do you dare to ask?"

"I'm a new neighbor next door. Your house sent wedding cakes earlier. I made the cakes myself and gave them to the host of your house. I want to express my heart. Would you like to send them over?"

Neighbor.

What a strange neighbor.

Menzi took the bamboo basket and said with a smile, "Thank you, my lord."

Nian'er was guarding the door of the study with a bamboo basket, Yun Ci held Jiang Huai's portrait in her hand, and said softly, "Didn't you say don't bother me?"

"Miss, the neighbor next door sent pastries made by himself."

"Neighbor?" Yun Ci smiled and said, "Is that person strange?"

"Yes, I heard from Menzi that the man was still wearing a mask in broad daylight, and his behavior was weird. He didn't look like a good person."

"Not like a good person?" Yunci put her fingertips on the collarbone of the person in the painting, and said softly: "You can't judge a person by their appearance. You can't tell a good person or a bad person by looking at their faces. Alright, let's share the cakes, go out."

"Yes." Nian'er curled her lips: Miss Mingming is the one who judges people by appearance the most, otherwise, why would she not let go of the son's portrait?The young master has a good complexion, and the young lady probably likes that face.

Jiang Huai stood on the roof and watched Nian'er come out of the study with a bamboo basket in her hand. The pastry didn't move, is it not to my taste?

Nian'er casually put the bamboo basket into the back kitchen, and greeted everyone: "Miss gave it to you, come and pick it up when you're done."

Jiang Huai said dissatisfied: She made this for Ah Ci, how can outsiders eat it?

While the people in the back kitchen were busy with their work, Jiang Huai took out a thin human-skin mask from his sleeve pocket, blinked, and pretended to be a servant in the house, and quietly took the bamboo basket back.

That's right, just thinking about pleasing A Ci, but forgetting that she would never accept food from a strange man.

Jiang Huai stroked her chin, and went back to her back kitchen to continue busy studying food.

When Nian'er went to the back kitchen again, but couldn't see the bamboo basket, she thought it was taken away by the cooks, so she didn't care.

After the cook finished her work, she wanted to try the pastry that the lady gave her, but she turned her head, let alone the pastry, the basket was gone!

A quarter of an hour later, the matter reached Yun Ci's ears: "Miss, our house has been attacked by thieves!"

Yunci was disturbed repeatedly, rolled up the portrait, frowned and said, "Talk about these things to the nursing home, and the housekeeper." After speaking, she took up her pen and drew, and did not hear anything outside the window.

Nian'er walked out with her head drooping, Fang Zhi poked her arm: "Sister Nian'er, tell me, did the pastry be stolen by the person next door?"

"Impossible, the man sent the pastry, why did he steal it back?"

"Who knows, they all say it's a weirdo."

The two looked at each other and shuddered at the same time—couldn't the guy next door be really a bad guy?

The theft of pastries from the back kitchen caused the housekeeper to attach great importance to it. That night, the Liu Mansion was heavily guarded, and the nursing home carried a lamp to patrol everywhere.

Jiang Huai carried the improved version of snacks that had been poured out all afternoon, tapped her toes lightly, and her whole body melted into the wind, with a ghostly figure, and went straight past the nursing home.

A gust of cool wind blew up, and the courtyard nurse suddenly looked behind with the lantern, and heaved a sigh of relief for a while.

In the backyard, the room was brightly lit, Yun Ci lazily stepped out of the bathroom, her pajamas were thin, and a snow-colored belt was tied around her waist.The beauty is alluring, but that's it.

A meow sounded from outside the window. Realizing that the window was not closed, she walked over and saw a figure rushing in...
