Chapter 15 Goat Milk
Looking at the direction he pointed, the more Shen Qiqi looked at it, the more it looked like the one that just flew to his yard.

She let go of the corner of her clothes, put her hands on the window sill, poked her head as if to take a closer look.

Gu Tingshu reached out to cover her forehead and brought her back, took out the whistle and blew a few times, and Hai Dongqing, who was originally perched on a branch, spread its wings and flew towards them.

It moved so fast that Shen Qiqi didn't have time to react, and even the exclamation was still in her mouth, the sea dongqing had already landed on the window sill, only a short distance away from her.

She took two steps back in fright, and subconsciously grabbed the person next to her to stabilize her body.

Most of her body was hidden behind Gu Tingshu, and she only dared to poke her head out to look at it.

"Cousin, can it peck people?"

"will not."

If the things he raised with his own hands were not obedient enough, he would have been afraid of roasting them and eating them.

He spoke with certainty, and Shen Qiqi's nervous heart relaxed, and she approached quietly.

But when she moved, Hai Dongqing's head turned along with her, as if she had been regarded as a prey.

Gu Tingshu glanced at her, but remained silent.

Hai Dongqing stood still and she was already afraid of this, and she didn't know where she had the courage to borrow one back just now.

"Cousin, let it stand back on the branch, I'll just watch it here."

Shen Qiqi was still afraid that it would suddenly rise up and hurt people, so she still refused to get too close.

She was cautious, not daring to make large movements, for fear of shocking Hai Dongqing.

Gu Tingshu waved his hand, Hai Dongqing was made to back away by his action, and then flew away.

"Come here and grind ink for me."

The sewing box hadn't been brought yet, she sat down and picked her nails for fun, afraid she would scratch herself, so Gu Tingshu called her to come over.

It's better to grind ink for him than to sit by yourself, Shen Qiqi rolled up her sleeves and walked over.

On the desk were all official documents from various sources. She glanced around, and then looked around, not daring to take a second look.

Both of them stopped talking, and the study room became very quiet for a while, only the sound of grinding ink and brushes across the paper could be heard.

"Master Hou, the girl's sewing box and goat milk are here."

I haven't studied ink for a long time, and my hands are sore after a while, but fortunately, the sound of twelve is heard soon.

Shen Qiqi glanced at Gu Tingshu, seeing that he was silent, she stopped her movements, got up and went to open the door.

"Hello, girl. This is what Master Hou ordered. Please trouble me to bring it in."

Gu Tingshu didn't make a sound, Twelve dared not go in, handed the things to Shen Qiqi, then closed the door and retreated.

There was only one desk in the study, and Shen Qiqi hesitated for a while before putting the things on the tea table under the window.

"Cousin, the goat milk you asked for has arrived."

"Drink it."

Shen Qiqi didn't expect that this bowl of goat's milk was called for herself, so she saluted Gu Tingshu with a pursed smile, "Thank you, cousin."

Goat milk is not a rare thing, the difficulty is how to cook it without fishy smell.

There are some dim sum masters in the house who can make them, but they are all offered to the old lady first. If she wants to eat, she can only ask the master to make them with money.

She doesn't have much money per month, so she is reluctant to spend money to buy food, so the last time she ate, it was already given by the old lady during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

The 15-year-old girl has no resistance to the sweet goat's milk. After thanking her, she sat by the window, scooped up the goat's milk and drank it slowly.

She was very gentle when eating and didn't make any movement, but Gu Tingshu still stopped.

It's just a bowl of ordinary goat's milk, and it's hard for her to eat it so deliciously.

When the bowl of goat's milk was bottomed out, Shen Qiqi stopped, took a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, and looked up at Gu Tingshu.

"Cousin, I'm done eating."

She was smiling, as if she had eaten delicacies from mountains and seas. Gu Tingshu rubbed the jade plaque on his waist and said "Mmm".

"twelve."

"Subordinates are here."

"Let the kitchen send two bowls of goat's milk to Qingzhu Xiaozhu every day. Also, let the girl eat here today, let the kitchen cook some of the girl's favorite food."

Twelve, who was standing outside the house, answered loudly. When he turned around, he saw Jin Bao and Yin Bao looking at him curiously, and directly lifted him to the distant eaves.

"Stay away from the study."

Jin Bao let out an "oh", Mo Le grabbed Twelve who was about to leave, and asked in a low voice, "Is Hou Ye in a good mood today? This is the first time I heard him say such a long sentence."

After Twelve listened, he stared at Jin Bao with his dark eyes, lowered his head and let out a hoarse smile when she was covered in cold sweat.

"If you can't take care of your ears and mouth, I don't mind taking care of it for you."

His hand was already on the saber at his waist, full of threats.

Jin Bao hurriedly covered his mouth, thought for a while, then took Yin Bao's hand to cover his ears, and shook his head to show that he could control it.

After Twelve walked out of the yard, Jin Bao let go of his hand and let out a long sigh of relief, "It's so scary, I almost thought my life was going to die just now."

While talking, she took out a handful of watermelon seeds from her bosom, gave half of them to Yin Bao, and ate them on her own.

Yin Bao looked at the watermelon seeds in his hand and then at her, opened his mouth to say something, but when she saw that she was about to take the watermelon seeds back, he silently closed his mouth again.

That's all, don't ask where it came from, I can still share half of it.

Embroidered by the window until noon, when Gu Tingshu stopped writing, Shen Qiqi also put down the sachet.

"Eating in the house or in the yard?"

"Eat in the yard?"

He didn't seem to be bound by the rules and regulations in the house, but he wanted to eat in the yard.

Shen Qiqi was surprised, Gu Tingshu had already received her intention and asked to have lunch placed in the yard.

It was really the first time in her life to have lunch in the yard. When she came out after washing her hands, she was still in disbelief.

Gu Tingshu ate simply, and usually served only five or six dishes, but after adding her, the round wooden table was full.

All the servants were sent out of the courtyard. Hai Dongqing in the backyard smelled it and flew to the roof to stare.

Being surrounded by them is almost more nervous than eating in the old lady's courtyard.

Originally, there was a distance between two people sitting in the middle, but because of fear, she slowly narrowed it to between one foot.

The two were too close, and Gu Tingshu could touch her even if he moved a bit more.

He glanced at Shen Qiqi who was still staring up at Hai Dongqing, changed his hand to hold the chopsticks, and picked a piece of fish for her.

"Eat well."

There was no emotion in his voice, he just said it casually, but Shen Qiqi didn't dare to look any more, and turned her head obediently.

Shen Qiqi couldn't pick up a chopstick dish for herself during the meal time of Yizhuxiang, and every bite of the dish was not swallowed, the next chopsticks had already been put into the bowl.

Before she finished a bowl of rice, she was already holding on.

Seeing that Gu Tingshu wanted to pick up more, she hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you cousin for your trouble, Qiqi has already eaten."

He was obviously picking up food for himself, and he didn't know why the rice in his bowl was used up. After he stopped his chopsticks, he stopped too.

"Is the sachet embroidered?"

"Huh?" Shen Qiqi shook her head slightly, "Not yet, is my cousin busy?"
