Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 95 Lotus Cake

"You...what are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Qi Ze couldn't help but look over, with some surprise in his eyes, "Youyi."

How did Xu Youyi know that she was here? Did Xu Siheng not stop her?Xu Siheng knew that she was carrying a woman, so he wouldn't let his sister come over.Could it be that sloppy Chu Kainan said it again?

Zhan Shi was also a little surprised, and quickly let go of Qi Ze's arms and stood aside.

"Are you busy with business? Why did the third son of Qi bring a woman with him when he came to Chenyue Tower?" Xu Youyi said a little aggrieved.

Qi Ze looked at Xu Youyi, how should she answer this, after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything, as she would only describe this kind of thing more and more black, so it's better not to say anything.Moreover, they have nothing to do with each other now, so it would be a waste of effort for her to explain.

So Qi Ze took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the chair, drinking tea indifferently, the tea from Chenyuelou was quite good.

Seeing that Qi Ze didn't even give an explanation, Xu Youyi looked at Zhan Shi angrily. Although Zhan Shi was covered with a veil, she knew that she was a beautiful woman from her graceful figure and soft temperament.Look at her beautiful face and light figure, but she is no match for this woman.

After comparing in mind, Xu Youyi turned to look at Qi Ze, stomped her feet and said angrily, "Master Qi, so you like this."

Qi Ze: "..."

She just brought Zhan Shi to a banquet, why do you say she likes it?She doesn't even know what she likes.

Zhan Shi watched as Qi Ze remained silent, and Xu Youyi was staring at her all the time, since they were all women, she naturally knew what Xu Youyi was thinking.And in her heart, Xu Youyi's character is kind and lively, easy to get along with, and it's suitable to be with Qi Ze.It would be a sin if this kind of misunderstanding caused the young lady of the Xu family and the young master to ignore each other from now on.

"Miss Xu, you have misunderstood. I am just the young master's maid, and I was just adjusting the belt for the young master, not what you imagined." Zhan Shi walked up to Xu Youyi and said with a smile.

Xu Youyi couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, even her voice was so sweet and beautiful, but she still raised her head and replied unconvincedly: "Maid? How can there be a maid as beautiful as you? And do you need to be so close to adjust your belt?"

"I was really adjusting my belt just now. I'm not a maid in the Qi Mansion, but I was rescued by the young master. The relationship between me and the young master is only life-saving, nothing else." Zhan Shi explained.

"The grace of saving your life? Why did the third son of Qi save your life and bring you back to the Qi Mansion?" Xu Youyi asked incredulously.

"This..." Zhan Shi was at a loss for words for a moment, for her those few days in Sihe City were the nightmare of her life, and now she was provoked again, how could she say such a dirty thing.

Seeing Zhan Shi bowed her head and said nothing, Xu Youyi believed that Zhan Shi was Qi Ze's concubine, and what she just said was just deceiving her.Thinking of this, Xu Youyi looked at Qi Ze with red eyes, pursed her lips for a while, and then said in a panic and aggrieved, "Master Qi, you...I...I hate you."

After finishing speaking, he ran out of the room angrily.

Qi Ze: "..." Why is she so annoying?She hasn't said anything yet.

After a while, Xu Youyi ran back again, put the snack box in her hand on the table, looked at Qi Ze with a snort, turned and left.

Zhan Shi looked back at Qi Ze guiltily, but Qi Ze just waved his hands indifferently.Maybe little girls are like this, just be angry for a few days.

At the same time, Jiang Wen also came back with Taiping Houkui tea. After brewing a pot, he poured a cup for everyone.

"Taiping Houkui is different, it tastes sweet and sweet, no wonder it is so precious." Chu Kainan said with a light sip.

"As long as Brother Chu likes it." Jiang Wen said with a smile.

It happened that Xu Youyi's voice came down from upstairs, and everyone turned their heads to look. When they saw Xu Youyi's eyes were slightly red, they knew it was a quarrel.

"Brother, I'm going back first, so you don't need to see me off." Xu Youyi's anxious and aggrieved voice came.

"Youyi, hey..."

Before Xu Siheng could ask, Xu Youyi walked out of the room without seeing her figure.

Banxia in the carriage outside the door saw Xu Youyi coming out, so she hurriedly got off the carriage and ran to Xu Youyi anxiously. Seeing Xu Youyi's eyes were red, she asked in surprise, "Miss, what's going on?"

"Third Young Master Qi... Third Young Master Qi has other women by his side." Xu Youyi said aggrievedly.

"Don't...other women." Ban Xia said in a daze.

It's normal for a man to have a woman before getting married, no wonder Qi Ze.After all, in Ding capital, which nobleman of aristocratic family doesn't have a few concubines and house maids?But how could Xu Youyi's personality allow her future husband to have other women.

"Will that young lady still meet Mr. Qi San?" Ban Xia looked at Xu Youyi and asked cautiously.

"It's gone, no matter what he says, Miss Ben is gone." Xu Youyi said angrily.

"How can this work? Miss Qi likes Mr. San so much, if you don't meet again later, Miss, can you bear it?"

Ban Xia is Xu Youyi's maid, so she naturally knows Xu Youyi's awkward character best.This looks like angry words spoken when angry, and it needs to be persuaded by someone, otherwise it will definitely regret what it was like later.

"I..." She really couldn't bear it, "Hmph, if he doesn't pay attention to that sister in the future and apologizes to me, I will forgive him." Xu Youyi snorted and said.

"Hee hee, miss, let's go back to the house and wait now, maybe Mr. Qi will make an apology tomorrow." Ban Xia stopped Xu Youyi's arm and said with a smile, she knew it was the nature of the miss that made her disappear The third son of Qi must not bear it.

"Really? That's fine. Let's go back home and wait for him to apologize to Miss Ben." Xu Youyi said arrogantly unnaturally.

"Okay, Miss, come, I will help you. Let's go back to the mansion and wait." Ban Xia said, and carefully helped Xu Youyi into the carriage.

Zhu Yu Cangzhu who was on the carriage not far away was silently watching this scene.

"Do you think the master will apologize to Miss Xu's family?" Cang Zhu asked with a gossipy smile.

I didn't expect that the master's charm was so strong that he was mistaken for another woman, and Miss Xu could still wait for the master to apologize to her.However, under such circumstances, Miss Xu's family can still call Zhanshi "that sister" without any insulting words, which shows that Xu's family education is excellent.

"Difficult." Zhu Yu still said calmly.

"I think so too. It's really impossible for the master to apologize to Miss Xu's family. How could the master do such a shameful thing." Cang Zhu said.

In their impression, Qi Ze never bowed his head to anyone, even Qi Yuan and Qi Wen.Moreover, it is a bit embarrassing for a man to make an apology to a woman. It will make people think that even a woman cannot be suppressed and reincarnated as a man in vain.

How can a man waste time on a woman when he should be high-spirited in court or strategizing on the battlefield?This can not be shameful.

"No, what I mean is that the master never thought of apologizing to Miss Xu's family." Zhu Yu resolutely vetoed it.

Cang Zhu: "...you are right."

In Chenyue Building, Chu Kainan looked at the door where Xu Youyi disappeared for a while, then turned to ask Xu Siheng, "It seems that there is a quarrel. Rongyu, you said that Shaoyi already has a woman, and your sister is still so wronged. In the future, this marriage Can it still be done?"

Xu Siheng just sighed and said: "Hanfei, it's too early for you to say these things. The Qi family and the Xu family haven't exchanged geng posts yet, so it's not considered a marriage."

Before getting married in Nanchu, if the man is interested in the woman, he must first propose marriage. If the woman's family is also optimistic about the marriage, they will match the horoscope, exchange Geng Tie, and then discuss the specific time for the marriage ceremony.So only after exchanging gengtie is the marriage settled.

The situation between Qi Ze and Xu Youyi can only be regarded as a happy relationship, and it's not yet time to get engaged.Moreover, Qi Ze never said that he would marry Xu Youyi, so this has nothing to do with marriage.

Jiang Wen just looked back at the doorway where Xu Youyi disappeared. It turned out that this Miss Xu family fell in love with Shaoyi, so she came here, and the cake was also for Shaoyi.It seems that it is not lightly sad.

"Then shall we go up and see how Shao Yi is doing?" Chu Kainan looked at Qi Ze's room and asked.

After thinking for a while, Xu Siheng said, "Let's go up and have a look."

Everyone nodded, then stood up and walked upstairs.

Zhan Shi in the room looked at the snack box on the table, walked over to bring it in front of Qi Ze, opened it and saw the pink, tender and fragrant lotus cake, and said, "These cakes are pretty good, compared to those made by Zhan Shi Alright, young master, do you want to use some?"

Qi Ze shook his head while drinking his tea.

Zhan Shi continued to advise: "My lord, let's use some, this is Miss Xu's intention after all, it would be a pity if I failed."

Qi Ze looked at the pastries in the box, and thought that it was really not easy for Xu Youyi to make these early in the morning, so he said, "Okay, let's use some."

Zhan Shi smiled and nodded, and brought out the snacks in the box.Just as Qi Ze was about to pick it up, the door opened.

When Zhan Shi saw the people outside the door, she quietly retreated behind Qi Ze and stood with her head bowed. When Jiang Yu saw the cakes in front of Qi Ze, she ran over excitedly, "There are still cakes here. I just didn't eat them. Alright." With that said, he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Siheng sat across from Qi Ze, and said: "Shao Yi, You Yi has such a character. She is usually a little arrogant and spoiled by her parents. It will be fine in a few days, and you don't have to worry about it."

Qi Ze nodded, she thought the same way, she really didn't take it to heart.Besides, Xu Youyi's character is not arrogant and indulgent, and he didn't see Zhan Shi fighting for the wind and getting jealous.But how did Xu Youyi know that she was in this room?Thinking about her, she raised her head and kept staring at Chu Kainan.

Chu Kainan couldn't help but feel helpless, he knew Shaoyi would suspect that he said it, but this time he really didn't say it.Then he said: "Shaoyi, it's really not me who told the Xu family girl about your room this time. It was Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu said it quickly, and I couldn't stop it with Rong Rong and I had to watch The girl from the Xu family has come to you."

Jiang Wen felt a little helpless after hearing this, regretting that he came back late just now, if he was here, he could still stop Jiang Lu from speaking out.

Qi Ze also turned to look at Jiang Lu.

After Jiang Lu tasted a piece of pastry, he shouted excitedly: "This is the taste, sweet but not greasy, I didn't expect to be able to eat it now."

Everyone: "..." Is this where all the attention is on the pastry?
"Shaoyi, is your friend here to bring you cakes again?" Jiang Yu continued, "Last time it was sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, this time it's lotus flower cakes, which are better than those made by Jiang's cooks." "Why does this box look so familiar?"

Jiang Wen also looked at the box, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Jiang Lu looked at the snack box for a while, and finally remembered something, and said, "Oh, I remembered, this is the snack box brought by the lady from the Xu family." Jiang Lu lay down in front of the snack box and observed carefully, "It turns out that Shaoyi's friend is Miss Xu's family. I thought she was the cook of the pastry shop."

Hearing what Jiang Lu said, Jiang Wen also remembered.Isn't this the box that Miss Xu's family was carrying in her hand when she entered the door?The box is exquisite and small, with delicate hosta flowers carved on the reddish-brown lacquer surface, which is very suitable for a delicate and elegant girl to hold this box in her hand.

He heard from Jiang Yu that Shaoyi had a friend who had been making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for Shaoyi since last year, but he stopped doing it later.This time, another lotus cake with a similar taste was brought over, so this friend must be Miss Xu's family.It seems that Miss Xu's family has been in love with Shao Yi since last year, and the relationship between the two is also unusual.

"The hosta flower engraved on it is quite beautiful." Jiang Lu murmured while looking at the snack box.

When he was in the hall just now, he saw this unique snack box, because there were very few engraved hosta flowers on the snack box, most of them were engraved with rich and graceful peonies, to show wealth and auspiciousness and hope to bring good luck.Why is this snack box engraved with beautiful and refined hosta flowers?So he left an impression.

It was only then that Qi Ze noticed that the pattern on it was a hosta flower. Although it was a reddish-brown gorgeous lacquer surface, the engraving of the jade hairpin flower matched it very well and complemented each other perfectly without being obtrusive at all.

At this moment, Chu Kainan couldn't stay idle, "Oh, even the patterns on the box are specially carved jade hairpins. It seems that this girl from the Xu family is really thinking about Shaoyi."

Qi Ze just glanced at Chu Kainan, but didn't speak.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but raised his head and asked in doubt: "Why did Brother Chu say that?"

"You don't know about that." Chu Kainan laughed teasingly, "The hairpin that Shaoyi bought for the girl from the Xu family was the jade hairpin flower pattern, and the girl was happy for several days because of it, but now she wears it all day long. Carrying that jade hairpin with me, I will never leave my body."

"Really?" Jiang Wen asked in surprise.

"Yeah, these two people have a deep affection, but it's a pity that Shaoyi drove that girl away this time." Chu Kainan teased, facing Qi Ze's cold eyes, he was also indifferent, and still smiled unkindly.

Anyway, it wasn't him who said it this time, Shaoyi can only blame Jiang Lu if she wants to blame.After finally seeing Shao Yi's predicament this time, even if she could accept the murderous eyes, she still had to watch the show with a smile.

"The Qi family and the Xu family are right in the same family. If there is no accident, Rong Yu's younger sister will marry Shao Yi." Jiang Wen smiled and said to Xu Siheng.

Although Qi Yuan was a cabinet scholar in the late emperor's time, he was highly respected, and Qi Wen is the current minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Qi family occupies an important position in the aristocratic family.But the Xu family is not necessarily so bad, Xu Bai is the current Minister of the Household Department, Xu Siheng is outstanding in talent, and it is estimated that he will be the next Minister of the Household Department.

With such an excellent father and elder brother, Xu Youyi's status will not be low.Moreover, Xu Youyi's appearance is particularly outstanding among the ladies of the official family, more than enough to match the third son of the Qi family.

Xu Siheng just smiled when he heard the words, and looked up at the young man in the indigo brocade suit opposite, his downcast eyes covering up the indescribable expression.

"Shao Yi, will Miss Xu's family continue to make pastries for you from now on? Don't forget to leave a piece for me when you go to the Ministry of War. Hehe." Jiang Yu said with a greedy look.

Qi Ze stared blankly at the carefully carved jade hairpin flower box on the table, of course she knew Xu Youyi's affection for her.But she is a woman, she can't give Xu Youyi what she wants at all.Xu Youyi was a good girl, she couldn't bear to let her suffer what she shouldn't, and let her sacrifice to cover up her womanhood.

She is destined to let her down, and Xu Youyi deserves a better man to protect her and have a better life.

……

Qi Ze and his party went home after having breakfast in Chenyue Tower.After all, on the day of the summer solstice, court officials can rest and bathe at home, but they will start to get busy after that, and the accumulated affairs still need to be dealt with.

In Xu's mansion, Xu Youyi was carefully drawing drawings on the desk, and from time to time picked up a small wooden box next to her for careful comparison.

Under the warm red candlelight, the girl's delicate and beautiful face was covered with a layer of warm light, her fair skin was more delicate like porcelain, and the sweet and gorgeous smile on the corner of her mouth was eye-catching.

"Miss, are you still drawing the pattern of the snack box? Wait until tomorrow, the candlelight is too dark and it's not good for your eyes." Ban Xia walked in from outside the house, and picked up the wooden comb on the dressing table to comb the girl's hair.

"No, Mr. Qi likes to eat the dim sum I made, and he also likes jade hairpins. I have to draw a pattern to make a snack box, so that Mr. Qi will be very happy when he sees it." Xu Youyi's mouth is slightly curved, sweet smiled.

"Then wouldn't it be good to find someone to customize one? Why bother to draw the pattern yourself and carve it out?"

"But I'm not satisfied with what others made, it's better to make it myself." Xu Youyi picked up a pen and modified it on the drawing.

"Didn't Miss already make one last time? Her hand was bleeding, why is this wound just about to start again." Ban Xia said with some distress when thinking of Xu Youyi's scratched finger.

"The one I made last time was thrown in Chenyue Tower, and there will be no snack boxes to use in the future. The peony flower is too tacky, but the hosta pattern is beautiful."

"Miss has done this for Mr. Qi, and Mr. Qi would find another woman, what a bastard." Ban Xia said unhappily.

"Don't talk about him like that, he's actually a very nice person. He'll pick jade hairpins for me, buy me hairpins, and throw copper coins for me. Today, he and that sister should have been accidental, and I was jealous and overwhelmed." " Xu Youyi said with lowered eyes.

"So Miss Qi is still thinking about Mr. Qi in her heart, and she chooses the ones that Mr. Qi likes. She is not angry at Mr. Qi at all, and even said that she will not see each other in the future." Ban Xia's resentment disappeared immediately. The side said teasingly.

"Hmph, damn girl, you clearly knew that I was just being angry at that time, and you still made fun of me like this." Xu Youyi snorted coquettishly.

"Yes, the lady is just acting angry, Mr. Qi is such a good person, how could the lady be angry with Mr. Qi?" Ban Xia said with a smile.

"However, I still feel a little uncomfortable. If he doesn't apologize to me tomorrow, I really won't talk to him anymore." Xu Youyi said with a blushing face.

"Okay, if Third Young Master Qi doesn't apologize, Miss will never talk to him again." Ban Xia followed Xu Youyi's words.

"Damn girl, I'm just talking, why are you still talking about it?" The girl chased Ban Xia angrily and was about to hit her.

As soon as Ban Xia hid her body, she said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Qi San will definitely apologize tomorrow, and won't let the lady down."

"Hmph, it's not too bad." The girl blushed and looked at the hosta flower on the drawing, and stretched out her plain hand to caress the delicate petals of the hosta flower on the painting, with intoxicating happiness and sweetness in her eyes, and her pink lips parted slightly.

"Master Qi San, You Yi likes jade hairpins very much, and also likes you."
