  Chapter 145 is a little tempting

   Being stared at by Aunt Gui eagerly, Xin You said vaguely, "I ate it by chance."

  Aunt Gui was unwilling to give up this topic: "Miss Kou, do you remember where you ate there?"

   This puff pastry milk cake was taught by the empress to make!

  The empress said that this is a dim sum that people in her hometown often eat, so she has never seen it.

  At that time, she was thinking that the rumor that the empress was a poor refugee girl was really unbelievable. How could a place where such snacks can be eaten often be a backcountry.

   The one who learned how to make this dim sum from the empress, and her sister.

Realizing her excitement, Aunt Gui smiled apologetically: "To tell the truth, Miss Kou, puff pastry milk cake is not a common dessert in Daxia. There are not many people who can make this kind of dessert. I am one, and my sister is one. I and My sister has been out of touch for many years, and when I suddenly heard you call out the name of this dessert, I couldn't help but think of her..."

  Aunt Gui said, tears flashed in her eyes.

  “The food I ate when I was young was brought back by my late father. Because it was so delicious, I asked for it, but I couldn’t buy it anymore, so I was very impressed.”

  Hearing what Xin You said, the anticipation in Aunt Gui's eyes went out: "Oh, Miss Kou, try it quickly, it won't taste good after a long time."

  Xin You nodded slightly, picked up a piece of crispy milk cake and took a bite out of it with a handkerchief.

  The wonderful taste awakens the taste buds and is a familiar taste.

   "How is it?" Aunt Gui had new expectations in her eyes.

   Maybe the meringue milk cake that Ms. Kou ate when she was a child was made by her younger sister. Now the crispy milk cake she made is eaten by the same little girl, which can be regarded as a kind of connection with her sister.

   Faintly aware of Aunt Gui's anticipation, Xinyou nodded: "It's delicious, exactly the same taste as I remember."

  Aunt Gui couldn't help laughing: "Miss Kou just needs to like it, and then try the wine."

  The wine made this time and the lychee wine made last time are all fermented with glutinous rice, which is mellow but not intoxicating, and is most suitable for women to drink.

  Xin You was amazed.

   "The first time I saw Ms. Kou, I felt that I was destined. I didn't expect Ms. Kou to be friends with our Lord Hou. It can be seen that they are destined." Aunt Gui revealed her identity in due course.

  Xin You also looked like she just knew: "Master He and Aunt Gui are kind-hearted people, no wonder they are a family."

   Kindhearted people...

  Aunt Gui's face became hot when she thought about He Qingxiao helping the girl and collecting money.

   But looking at it like this, Ms. Kou has a decent impression of Lord Hou.

"Our Lord Hou is really cold-faced and warm-hearted..." Aunt Gui gradually talked about He Qingxiao's childhood, "At that time, Lord Hou was often injured, either sprained his feet or injured his hands. I sent it back to the tree, but I fell down and woke up after being in a coma for a long time..."

  Xin You listened carefully, and seemed to be able to imagine what Master He looked like when he was a child.

   is also a mischievous one.

   Seeing that Xinyou was interested in listening, Aunt Gui was secretly happy.

  Willing to listen to her gossip about Master Hou, it can be seen that Miss Kou has a good impression of Master Hou.

   "Master Hou has no father to teach him since he was a child, and his mother loves him, so sometimes his actions may not be appropriate. Miss Kou, if Master Hou has something wrong, please forgive me."

   You can’t stop seeing Hou Ye because he was foolish and took your money!

   "No, Mr. He is very considerate and appropriate."

  After Aunt Gui left, Xinyou realized belatedly: How could Aunt Gui be like a princess selling melons, trying her best to sell her the big courgettes grown by herself?

  Thinking of this, Xin You patted her cheeks, just in time for Xiao Lian to see her.

  Xiao Lian was shocked: "Girl, why are you smoking yourself?"

  Xin You: "...the face is a little stiff, I just pat."

   "It's quite cold, so go back to the house to keep warm."

  Just now, Xin You personally sent Aunt Gui out.

   "It's not cold."

  Xiao Lian: "..." Does the girl know how strange she is?

  Xin You returned to the house, sat down on the bed, and fell into deep thought: She seems a little strange...

  Although Xinyou grew up in the valley, she learned a lot. When she was able to protect herself, she traveled around to broaden her horizons and understand the world.

  She is intelligent by nature, and she doesn't bother to deceive herself and others. Her cheeks that were faintly warm as she walked in the cold wind made her realize one thing: she seemed to be... accidentally tempted.

  This discovery did not make Xin You feel happy, but cold.

  It was bone-chillingly cold.

  She actually moved her heart accidentally when she was carrying a sea of ​​​​blood and deep hatred...

  Xin You pursed her lips, mocking herself deeply.

  Thinking of that man in red again, I felt bitter and angry.

  If Mr. He is a little colder, a little uglier, and a little bit worse in character, you should spend less time reading books...

  Xin You raised her hand and covered her eyes.

  She remembered what her mother said: Some people are destined to meet, that person may have shortcomings, or may not be suitable, but they just happen to impress you.

  What else did Niangqin say?

  Xin You tried hard to remember.

  My mother said, if you really want to meet someone you like, don’t look forward and backward. If you find out later that you have misjudged, or time has changed that person into someone you don’t like, then it’s okay, just let go and move on.

  Xin You slowly lowered her hand, took the soft pillow and gently pressed her chin against it.

   In this regard, she is not as easy as her mother.

  It is enough to maintain the current state, maybe in the future...they will have a day when they draw their swords against each other for their respective positions.

  Xin You lay down and covered her face with a soft pillow.

  At the Shaoqing Mansion, Duan Yunling has been in a state of confusion since getting up.

   Soon I will go to Ruyi Hall to pay my respects, and then my grandmother will propose to take her out to see Mrs. Gu Changbo.

   Then her life was settled.

   settled.

   Staring at the pale face in the vanity mirror, Duan Yunling burst into tears.

   "Girl, there is someone from Ruyi Hall."

  Duan Yunling was trembling, but he didn't have the strength to wipe away his tears, and said wearily, "Please come in."

   Not long after, Yuzhu came in and blessed Duan Yunling: "The old lady heard that the third girl was ill, so she ordered the servant girl to bring some nourishing food to the third girl."

   Before Duan Yunling could respond, Yuzhu put down the bird's nest she had brought: "The old lady asked the third girl to take good care of her, and there is no need to go to Ruyitang to pay her respects before she recovers from her illness."

  Duan Yunling listened in a daze, until Yuzhu had left for a long time, and grabbed the servant girl's wrist: "Xueying, what does grandma mean? It... what does it mean?"

   Is that what she thought?

  She dare not think, dare not believe.

  Xueying stepped forward to check the bird's nest brought by Yuzhu, and said hesitantly: "Miss, the old lady probably gave up on taking you out."

   "I don't need to be married to Gu Changbo's son, do I?" Duan Yunling cried and laughed, tears all over his face.

  Xueying was also happy for her own girl, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, the girl doesn't need to be married to Gu Changbo's son!"

   "I knew it, I knew it..." Duan Yunling murmured, laughing and crying again.

   She was so lucky to meet Cousin Qing.
