Forced to become the uncle's apex

Chapter 157 Gao Shulan's Thank You Gift
Qin Zhen poked his finger on the table, but did not answer.

At this time, Hongxiu came in with a bowl of soup, handed it to her and asked, "Miss, are you going to Nanliu Lane tomorrow?"

"Go, why don't you go." He took the soup and drank it, thought for a while, and said: "Let Cheng Ba watch in the dark tomorrow, if anyone is unfavorable to the Liu family, take it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

A night without dreams.

The next day, after waking up and taking a shower, Gao Shulan came over while having breakfast, wearing new clothes.

Newly made for her are some brightly colored clothes, adding a bit of color to such a winter day.

"My concubine has met the eldest lady." As soon as she entered the door, she hurriedly stepped forward, saluted with a happy smile.

Qin Zhen saw that her face was ruddy. Obviously, the scumbag father should have slept in her room again last night.

"Auntie came here so early, have you eaten yet?"

Gao Shulan continued to smile, and sat down beside her familiarly.

"Not yet, I'm thinking of the eldest lady, so I came here. Speaking of which, I haven't officially thanked the eldest lady for the clothes made for the concubine. This style is really beautiful."

Glancing at her lightly, Qin Zhen picked up some side dishes and chewed them slowly.

Gao Shulan didn't see it, and waved to the maid behind her: "Qiu Gui."

The maid named Qiugui hurried forward and put the tray in her hand on the table.

There were two small jars on the tray, Gao Shulan smiled and picked up the jars and opened them, an unknown faint fragrance came over, and seven or eight full-bodied incense pills rolled a few times.

"This is a concubine's entrusted person to bring it out of the palace, and it is commonly used by empresses."

Seeing this, Hong Xiu frowned slightly, and she stepped forward unobtrusively, and added a piece of shortbread for Qin Zhen.

But at this moment, Lin's voice came from outside the door.

"Is Missy there?"

Her voice is soft, you can hear it as soon as you hear it.

Luzhu hurriedly welcomed her in, but she didn't expect Qin Qingling and Qin Yiwen to follow behind.

"big sister."

Qin Yiwen ran over first, hugged Qin Zhen's leg, and looked up at her with a small face, very cute.

Qin Zhen couldn't help smiling, put down his chopsticks, and measured his height casually.

"Well, not bad, I've grown a lot taller, have you eaten breakfast?"

"Yeah." The little guy nodded repeatedly.

Behind him, Qin Qingling yelled softly, holding a delicate purse in his hand.

Obviously, it was because of the winter clothes incident that he came here to return the gift.

"Big sister, I embroidered a purse myself."

As he spoke, he handed it forward.

Qin Zhen took it, which was a purse embroidered with wintersweet in the snow, and nodded appreciatively: "The embroidery is really good."

Qin Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly: "As long as the big sister likes it."

As soon as the three of them came, Gao Shulan seemed to be left alone, a little unhappy.

Just about to speak, Qin Yiwen pouted and sniffed: "What smells so good."

Everyone looked at her, and their eyes fell on Gao Shulan in an instant. The latter straightened her back and showed a smug smile.

"It's a kind of fragrant pill, which is very rare."

As he spoke, he handed the jar forward.

Lin took a look, sniffed lightly, and nodded slightly: "The taste is really extraordinary."

"Really?" Gao Shulan was even more proud, she covered the thing and pushed it in front of Qin Zhen.

Even so, the smell still lingers.

Looking at the two small pots, Qin Zhen smiled: "Auntie has a heart, Luzhu, go to the storeroom and get the pair of white jade bracelets."

Hearing this, Gao Shulan's eyes were filled with joy, but her expression didn't show much: "Thank you, Miss."

Qin Zhen didn't say any more, turned his head, but saw that Mrs. Lin was staring at the little pot in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "Why, Auntie thinks there is something wrong."

After regaining her senses, Lin smiled slightly, took Qin Yiwen and sat down beside her, gently sniffed the residual fragrance in the air, and then slowly said: "Not really, but this fragrance is really very comfortable."

"Yi Wen likes it too." Qin Yiwen got a piece of cake out of nowhere, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

Qin Zhen was a little amused, nodded his prickly cheeks, and asked, "Then do you want it?"

Qin Yiwen was about to nod, but Lin shook his head with a smile and said: "Yi Wen is still young, so it is not suitable to use such expensive spices."

Noticing that Lin's eyes fell on the box from time to time, Qin Zhen probably understood that she probably liked it, so he handed over a can: "Since my aunt likes it too, why don't you take a can too."

"This... can't be done." Lin said while refusing.

On the side, Qin Qingling couldn't help laughing: "Mother, your eyes are almost growing to the top of the box."

Immediately, Lin blushed with embarrassment, her eyes shone with a little light, and said angrily, "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Qin Zhen smiled: "Since I really like it, I can take it back. Aunt Gao won't mind, right?"

Although Lin is not the one who is in charge of the family, she is also the daughter-in-law of Master Hou's younger brother. Naturally, Gao Shulan will not have any objections, and she takes it as a favor.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lin held the small jar embarrassingly, looking at it again and again, looking a little bit fond of it.

The group chatted for a while before leaving. Qin Zhen asked Hong Xiu to clean up the table and came to Nanliu Lane.

It was already noon, but the clouds were low, and the hut, which had not seen the sun all day, looked even darker.

The door was left open, as if waiting for her to come in. However, after Qin Zhen entered the room, he found that Xiangchu was still soundly asleep.

"Hello." Qin Zhen frowned and pushed.

Xiangchu: "Hululu——"

"Get up." Qin Zhen said again.

Xiangchu is still the same: "Hululu..."

Seeing her whole body buried under the quilt, only her fat head was exposed, Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows suddenly, and gently leaned towards her ear.

Suddenly shouted loudly: "Fire!"

"Fire! Extinguish the fire! Where is it!"

A naked body jumped up from the bed, eyes staring like copper bells, spinning around in a hurry.

Qin Zhen looked at her indifferently, until he woke up, and then said quietly: "I came to see you at noon as agreed, and you dare to sleep in."

"You stinky girl, almost scared me to death!"

Xiangchu was so angry that he wanted to slap her to death, but before he stretched out his palm, Qin Zhen said again: "Return the money to me, and I won't learn anymore."

Xiangchu lost all anger in an instant, and immediately apologized, "Don't worry, the tuition fee has already been taught, so there is no reason to return it, isn't it? Come on, come on, let's learn something powerful today."

Said, put on clothes, and ran outside.

The corners of Qin Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, but she still followed. For some reason, she always felt that the person in front of her was even more unreliable than her master.

I saw that Xiangchu opened a place similar to a small warehouse, inside there was a wooden bathtub, and there were piles of seemingly moldy medicinal materials beside it.

After she threw these things into it excitedly, she clapped her hands in satisfaction: "Go, get some water."
