The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 138 One Hundred Mooncakes
Summer is gradually coming to an end, and after a few autumn rains, the air becomes a little chillier.

Recently, for some reason, Lu Heng has become more interested in making pastries, and he takes Xiao Ruan to the kitchen every day.

"Ruan Ruan, how do you see what I'm doing?"

Xiao Ruan was not interested in the kitchen, but seeing Lu Heng looking at her with bright eyes, she had to pat her flour-covered hands, carefully looked at a round pastry in her hand, and exclaimed in admiration. .

"Cousin's craftsmanship is getting better and better now. Looking at my grandfather this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid they will no longer like sister-in-law Qing's craftsmanship, but will like yours."

"You really think so?"

Taifu Lu is getting older, he especially likes to eat sweet things, and he always has some pastries in his room every day.Sister-in-law Qing is the baker specially invited by the Lu family to make pastries.

Hearing the praise, Lu Heng's face became more smug, and he looked at the pastry in his hand for a while, and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

"Ruan Ruan, what you said really reminded me that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and I can just do more, so that everyone can taste my craft!"

As Lu Heng said, he couldn't stop looking at Xiao Ruan.

Xiao Ruan was terrified by her meaningful eyes, always felt a bad premonition, and in the next second, she saw Lu Heng's mouth open with a smile.

"Ruan Ruan, there are only seven days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, I just calculated, I have to make at least a hundred, you have to help me!"

a hundred!

Xiao Ruan's eyes widened suddenly: "You, why do you think there should be at least a hundred of them?"

No matter how much Mrs. Lu likes pastries, he can't finish a hundred of them!
Could it be that everyone in Lu Heng's mouth includes everyone in the house...or even her grandmother's house...

"I'm afraid this one hundred is a bit small!"

Just thinking about this, Lu Heng suddenly yelled and murmured to himself: "Let's not talk about outsiders, it is our family, parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters-in-law, we already need to prepare three copies, each at least You should also prepare more than a dozen flavors! If you bring Second Uncle and Wai Ren, don’t they need hundreds of copies?”

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Ruan's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he kindly reminded her: "You don't have to make all the flavors for each serving, just a few can..."

"How can this be possible! During the holidays in previous years, they all said that I have nothing to get a shot, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is such a good opportunity, I have to show it well!"

Before Xiao Ruan's voice fell, Lu Heng shook his head in denial, and finally said excitedly: "Ruan Ruan, this time the two of us cooperate, we must be the object of envy!"

As if the scene of being praised by others had already appeared before him, Lu Heng suddenly covered his mouth shyly and bowed his head and laughed non-stop.

"I've decided, we'll make [-] of them, and I'll send them back to taste the ones they like, so that they can make a name for me!"

Seeing that Lu Heng smiled for a while, he suddenly raised his head, waved his hands boldly, and made bold words.

"Then what, I won't participate in this matter..."

"Ruan Ruan, you have to help me!"

Xiao Ruan was hit by the "king and domineering" aura suddenly emanating from Lu Heng, her face froze, and she was about to express her refusal, but Lu Heng turned her head and refused very seriously!

Xiao Ruan returned to her courtyard with a tired expression, Zhu Yun and Lian Qiao hurriedly helped her into the room.

"Could it be that Miss Biao is possessed by a demon? How could she think of making mooncakes by herself!"

Seeing Xiao Ruan's listless look, Lian Qiao's face hurt, she helped Xiao Ruan beat her shoulders, and couldn't help complaining to Lu Heng.

"That's right, last time Miss Biao made all the cakes for Master Biao and distributed them to the servants. Now that she makes these, isn't she worried that people don't like them at all, so she still distributes them to the servants?"

After Zhuyun heard this, she immediately remembered the last time that Lu Heng was disgusted by Lu Hanrui for being 22 "dogs". When she looked at her young lady again, she showed sympathy.

This time, it would be fine if Miss Biao took the "credit" for herself this time, but if she distributed some to her own lady, then it would be called injustice.

The poor lady's good name is afraid that she will be ruined by the cousin.

"Of course I can't call her a cat or a dog."

It seemed that he also remembered the last time Lu Heng made a "little fat dog" for Lu Hanrui, Xiao Ruan suddenly had black lines.

She even had some regrets. If she hadn't praised her so much, how could she have been dragged by Lu Heng to work as a hard worker today?

Caressing his forehead, Xiao Ruan stopped the two little girls from discussing.

"It's fine if you're a picky person. We mustn't do this to Miss Biao. Her cooking skills have improved so much recently that even Mrs. Qing, who was invited here, couldn't help but praise her. It's not as bad as you think."

When the little girls listened to the music, you looked at me and I looked at you, obviously you didn't believe it.

"Miss, Miss Biao's craftsmanship is really so good?"

Forsythia blinked, and there was a look of curiosity in her eyes.

Naturally, they have never tasted the cakes made by Lu Heng, but since Xiao Ruan said so, it must be very delicious.

But does Miss Biao really have such high cooking skills?
"You guys, even if Miss Biao really doesn't do well, with Sister-in-law Qing by her side, how far can you go?"

Lianqiao and Zhuyun suddenly realized what they were talking about, and they never mentioned the bad things about moon cakes.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, under the guidance of sister-in-law Qing, Xiao Ruan and Lu Heng made nearly a hundred mooncakes and packed them in boxes very carefully.

There was a strong aroma of moon cakes on the tip of the nose, and a nearly full moon above the head. For a moment, several people in the room showed pride on their faces.

Xiao Ruan never imagined that she and Lu Heng could make so many exquisite mooncakes, and the scene of distributing these mooncakes to everyone for tasting tomorrow came to mind.

For seven days in a row, she and Lu Heng followed Mrs. Qing from mixing the stuffing to making the skin to the final shape. They thought they couldn't make it, but they actually did it.

"Sister-in-law Qing, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your guidance, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do this in another seven days!"

Lu Heng looked happy, and when he heard Xiao Ruan expressing his gratitude to Sister Qing, he quickly asked someone to take the purse to express his gratitude.

"The two young ladies have studied hard, and they also realize that the maidservant has never done anything."

Sister-in-law Qing took the purse, seeing that it was getting late, she didn't dare to disturb them any more, so she got up and left.

"Ruan Ruan, tomorrow we will be famous all over the world with so many mooncakes!"

Lu Heng's eyes lingered on the mooncakes on the table, and when he thought of the scene where the people who ate these mooncakes praised him tomorrow, his face became more excited and he didn't feel tired at all.

"Yes, yes, after tomorrow, our Lu family will have an extra ingenious young lady. Maybe the emperor will be lucky enough to give a plaque to her!"

"That's a good thing, I can just hang it up and let everyone know that Lu Heng's cooking skills are even praised by the current emperor."

Lu Heng only took Xiao Ruan's teasing as a compliment, and said this cheekily, which immediately caused several people in the room to laugh: "So, I'll go back first, have a good sleep, and then look at my cousin's body." Give a gold plaque."

At midnight, Xiao Ruan accompanied Lu Heng to make moon cakes for a few days. She still had a sense of accomplishment, but she felt very sleepy. She wanted to lie down quickly and take a good rest. People helped to leave.

"Could it be that someone has been here?"

As soon as they returned to Xiao Ruan's room, Zhuyun's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed something strange in the room.

When they left, they clearly remembered that the doors and windows in the room were closed, but at some point, the windows opened wide.

The night wind blew in from the window, rustling the pages of the book on the table.

Zhuyun and Lianqiao checked the room vigilantly for a long time, but did not see any other abnormalities, so they helped Xiao Ruan into the room.

"what is that?"

Xiao Ruan was about to rest, but suddenly saw something like a letter left on the table, and asked someone to take it back.

"Miss, isn't this a letter from the general?"

The two maids stared nervously at Xiao Ruan's hands, their eyes were all sparkling with excitement.

Xiao Ruan ignored the surprised voice of the little maid beside him, and quickly read the letter in his hand, a blush appeared on his tired face.

Just as the two little maids guessed, this letter was indeed sent by Huo Xun.

If the guess is correct, the sender of the letter should have come to Xiao Ruan's yard at that time but no one was in the room, and after waiting for a long time for her to come back, he had no choice but to open the window and throw the letter on the table.
On the thin letter paper, Huo Xun's flamboyant handwriting pierced through the back of the paper, first expressing his longing, and then inviting Xiao Ruan to watch the lantern with him tomorrow night.

The folks attach great importance to the August [-]th festival. Every year on this day, there will be a lot of very lively programs, and the Lantern Festival is one of them.

Inexplicably, Xiao Ruan felt a bit of warmth on this thin letter paper slowly spread into his heart through his hand, and Huo Xun's handsome face inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes.

Xiao Ruan wanted to reply, but seeing that the night was getting dark, she stopped thinking about replying, just folded the letter paper carefully, and put it away carefully.

A month ago, enemy troops invaded the border, and the emperor directly ordered Huo Xun to lead [-] elite soldiers to fight against the enemy.

Huo Xun was known as the devil on the battlefield, and he quickly defeated the enemy and returned in triumph.

After returning, Huo Xun was so proud of himself that he was busy with affairs in court, so he didn't have time to visit Xiao Ruan.

Xiao Ruan couldn't remember how many letters Huo Xun had written to her, but she cherished every one of them, and every time she recalled them, she felt very happy.

And he actually invited himself to go to see the lantern tomorrow, obviously if the one at hand had already been dealt with.
