Chapter 414: So Loud
The second brother is the most handsome man in the family. Not only that, he is also talented in both literature and martial arts, and has a sweet mouth. He is liked wherever he goes. He has lived in his shadow since he was a child and has always known that he is not as good as him.
I didn't expect that I would be highly regarded by Ning An.
"Ning An might have been talking nonsense. When she saw that I won the hairpin for her, she would have said a few good words for me."
Qi Jian still couldn't believe it. He touched the scar on his brow bone and found it was so long that he felt a little disgusted.
"Tsk tsk, you don't even believe me when I tell you the truth. When did you become so shy? If you don't believe me, go ask me yourself."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Qi Jian pulled Qi Rui towards the carriage, fearing that Ning An would get anxious.
When I got into the carriage, I found that Ning An was holding a bronze mirror and admiring himself.
"Hey, third cousin, this jade hairpin is similar to those in the palace, but I just like it. What do you think is going on?"
She looked around, very curious.
Without waiting for Qi Jian to answer, Qi Rui on the side took over the conversation.
"It's definitely different. Needless to say, the jadeite in the palace is all good material, but the one on your head is not bad either. Our Ah Jian spent a lot of effort to win it back. Although the water content and carving craftsmanship may not be as good as those in the palace, this is a unique gift in the world, so it is definitely different."
"Second cousin, you are right. The jade hairpins in my treasure box were all given to me by my father and mother. I don't feel anything special when I wear them normally, but I always cherish the gifts I receive on my birthday. It's almost the same with this jade hairpin."
"Ning An is right." Qi Rui leaned against the car wall to rest. What he thought was indeed correct.
Ning An, this little girl, has been sticking to me and Ajian since she was a child. For her, she may have already blurred the boundary between family affection and love.
Why not take this opportunity to let her recognize her own heart, and let Ajian recognize his own heart as well.
Brothers who grew up wearing the same pants, how could he not know what he was thinking? !
If everything goes well, he will ask the emperor to grant him a marriage.
It was already evening when they returned to the general's mansion.
Ning An originally wanted to stay for dinner, but who knew that an eunuch would be waiting for her at the gate of the general's mansion early in the morning to return to the palace.
She had no choice but to leave with her father-in-law.
"Second Master, there is a letter for you from Chengzhou."
Seeing the young masters returning home, the doorman immediately presented them with a package.
"Second brother, are you sure it's a letter and not a local specialty?"
Qi Xu reached out his hand suspiciously and pinched the bundle. It felt soft and he was not sure what was inside.
"Of course it's a letter, sent from the military camp. You guys go to the cafeteria first, I'll come over later."
Qi Rui suppressed his smile and made arrangements for his two younger brothers in a serious manner.
Such a big bag must contain other things besides letters. Maybe it is a special gift from Mingshu to him.
I really want to open it immediately to see what's inside.
After returning to his courtyard, Qi Rui closed the door and carefully opened the bag in his hand.
Such a lump of stuff turned out to be flour? !
My goodness, what the hell is Chengfeng doing? Sending him this from afar?
Fortunately, there was a letter underneath. He lit the wax and opened the sheepskin bag, and what came into view was the official document.
After a quick look, there wasn't anything wrong.
Next came a family letter. Qi Rui was so excited that he thought it was written to him by Mingshu. But when he opened it, he found out it was a recipe?!
It turns out that this package of stuff is not flour, but kudzu root powder.
This kid Chengfeng specially brought some to him so that the people in the general's mansion could have a taste.
They also talked about some recent events, such as how they went up the mountain with Mingshu to dig kudzu roots, how they made kudzu root powder together, and how Miss Mingshu sent them kudzu root stuffed eggs... every detail was important.
Qi Rui looked at it and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Reading through what Chengfeng had written, he felt as if he were there right there.
Happiness is always short-lived. No matter how long the letter is, you will eventually see the end of it.
Just these two letters? That's all?
Qi Rui put the letters he had read together, picked up the sheepskin bag and looked through them.
Fortunately, I looked for it again and found a pink envelope in the interlayer of the cover.
There was no writing on the envelope, but he could tell at a glance that it was written to him.
When he opened the envelope, he found that the letter paper inside was also pink, and there were even small flowers inside.
It feels dry to the touch and appears to be in impeccable condition.
He opened the envelope and read it twice before bursting into laughter.
What the hell is this little girl writing? I almost didn’t understand it just now.
'I was riding a horse past a small mud puddle and the splashing water in the mud puddle made a loud noise. It turned out to be the mud.'
"Hello Xiangni, I miss you so much. Mingshu, I miss you too."
Qi Rui held the letter and murmured.
When he had almost digested his emotions, he found a book, put the two dried flowers in it, and stored the pink letter in the secret compartment.
Qi Rui came to the cafeteria with Pueraria powder and a recipe.
The food in the cafeteria is almost ready, and we can start eating as soon as everyone arrives.
"Brother, what are you carrying? Flour?"
Qi Jian had never seen this thing before, so he was very curious.
"It's not flour. You'll know in a moment."
Qi Rui had eaten this thing before and had seen it before, so he figured out the trick at a glance.
"Brother, is this what I just touched?"
"Yes, Chengfeng sent someone to deliver it."
"That's good, grandma and mother will be blessed..."
"Ah Xu, what is good fortune?"
"Mother, you are here. Please take a seat. Chengfeng brought us some kudzu root powder. It is delicious. Let someone make some quickly."
Qi Xu urged anxiously.
General Qi on the side smiled and said, "Look at your greedy face. If someone doesn't know, they would think your family is short of food and drink."
"Father, this is kudzu root powder wine. You have eaten it before. Don't you want to have another bowl?" Without waiting for General Qi to reply, Qi Xu told the cook to make less, saying that the general would not eat it.
"I have raised a really filial son." General Qi sat in the main seat with a smile on his face and started eating.
"Hey, Dad, I was just joking with you. No matter who you are, you can't be left out."
While they were having fun, Qi Rui sat next to A Niang and told her the benefits of Pueraria powder.
"Oh~ There is such a good thing. I will try to eat more later."
"Mother, this kudzu powder wine can prolong your life. You should eat more later."
"Haha, okay." The old lady responded with a smile.
Kudzu root powder wine is easy to make and was served on the table before everyone finished their meal.
Each person took a bowl and savored it slowly.
“It still tastes the same!”
General Qi was the first to give a compliment.
"I've never eaten something this delicious in Kyoto. Where did you eat it?"
