After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 287 Beautiful as a Picture

Qin Jingshu turned her head and whispered, "Niuniu, you are so good at eating. They all learned from you."

Niuniu raised her neck proudly and said, "Of course, my family used to run a braised food store, and I helped the adults sell the goods! Every time I helped, my family's braised food sold out very quickly!"

When Qin Jingshu heard this, her eyes were immediately filled with admiration. When she was still being tortured to death by her mother, Niuniu, who was the same age as her, was able to help the family a lot!
"Niuniu, were the braised dishes in your home also very delicious?" Qin Jingshu asked.

Niu Niu was no longer sleepy when she mentioned this, and said, "Do you know the Fuwang Braised Food Shop in Beijing? They use my family's recipe."

Niuniu pointed to another empty plate on the table and said, "That dish of braised food has the same taste!"

The braised food on the table was a cold dish, all cut into small pieces and stacked neatly on a plate. There was just enough for one bite per person, so it was a free dish and the plate was quickly emptied.

Unlike other tables where people would ask for more dishes when the dishes were empty, this table was full of unmarried girls, so they would feel embarrassed to ask for more dishes even if they had finished their meals.

Moreover, unless they really like to eat, they usually won't finish the whole plate. At least they will leave some food, so as to show that they have a small appetite.

Now, with the braised pork having become the first dish, this table of dishes has completely caught the eyes of the ladies. Their appetites have been opened, and they have gradually tasted the goodness of the other dishes.

"I now understand why the princess insisted on holding the poetry meeting here. It turns out she has her eyes on the chefs here." A noble lady about fourteen or fifteen years old said to Shen Ling.

Shen Ling smiled lightly and said, "Come to think of it, I have eaten here many times in the palace, but the dishes here are not inferior to those in the palace at all."

Shen Ling was being polite. In fact, she privately felt that many of the dishes were much better than those in the palace, but she couldn't say this openly.

By the time this table had finished, most of the dishes were empty. The ladies at the table looked around and thought that in this situation, there was no need to worry about who would be the eyes and mouthpiece and get a bad reputation, after all, everyone at the table was an accomplice.

When they looked at each other, they felt closer to each other. After a meal, the distance between them was completely shortened.

"Next time I hold a poetry gathering, I will also hold it here. You all must come then." Miss Zhao said while pulling Shen Ling.

Shen Ling couldn't help laughing.

Miss Zhao turned to look at Niuniu and said, "Guaibao is coming too. With you here, the meal tastes a little better."

Niuniu was startled when she heard this. She actually didn't know this sister, but she still nodded obediently: "Okay, thank you sister."

Miss Zhao saw Niuniu was as cute as a porcelain doll and couldn't help but reach out and touch her fair little face: "So cute!"

Miss Zhao thought that the little girl's face looked like her sister's. Now, touching Niuniu's smooth little face, she just couldn't let it go. She couldn't help but look back at her own devil, thinking that it was really a case of comparing goods. Not only was her sister a monkey, but her face was not smooth! It was even rougher than hers!

Hehe, the good boy’s face is still better to touch.

But as soon as she turned around, Shen Ling took her hand away with a sullen face.

"Don't touch a child's face!" Shen Ling said unhappily.

Shen Ling was very angry. She had barely touched Niu Niu's face a few times, but Miss Zhao took advantage of her.

Miss Zhao withdrew her hand reluctantly.

"I'll invite you to my house next time, and we'll have fun together." Qin Jingshu whispered to Niu Niu.

The two played together for most of the day, and Qin Jingshu already regarded Niu Niu as a good friend.

Niuniu did not refuse, but only asked: "Will your mother allow me to visit your home?"

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she immediately lowered her head in disappointment. She was not sure she could convince her mother.

The wife of Duke Xian has always been very picky. Whenever her daughter spoke to a girl for a few more words, she would inquire in detail about the girl's background to find out whether her father or brother was an official in the court and how high their official positions were.

Seeing her like this, Niuniu said, "It's okay. I can't go to your house, but you can come to my house! Let me tell you, I have a sister at home who makes delicious snacks. She's really good!" Qin Jingshu was touched. She didn't expect that a good friend she just met would take care of her so much. She nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Niuniu."

The maid who was sent out by Qin Jingshu ran back and forth in the city and didn't even have lunch. Finally, she came back carrying a lot of bags.

"All these pastries are for you. It's my first gift to you." Qin Jingshu said to Niu Niu seriously.

Niuniu waved her hands and said, "It's too much. Just give me one pack."

Qin Jingshu shook her head and said, "I want to give it to you. Anyway, my family won't let me eat it if I take it back. Just accept it and don't refuse."

Niu Niu looked embarrassed.

But Qin Jingshu said again: "My dear, just think of it as me begging you."

Niu Niu:......

This was the first time Niu Niu was begged to accept a gift.

"Then I will bring you a lot of delicious food next time." This is all Niu Niu could say.

When Qin Jingshu saw that she accepted it, her face visibly relaxed.

"Miss, it's getting late. We should go back home. The prince is waiting outside." The maid, who had been running around for most of the day and was now hungry, said with a dark face.

Qin Jingshu glanced at her, then took Niuniu's hand and said goodbye reluctantly: "My dear, please don't forget me. You can also post to my elder brother. I beg my elder brother to take me out..."

Niu Niu felt that Qin Jingshu was not going home, but rather was going into a den of wolves.

"Okay, I'll remember everything, don't worry." Niu Niu assured again and again.

The two little girls walked hand in hand to the entrance of Xianyue Tower, and Qin Jing was also saying goodbye to Gu Mingda.

"Thank you, Uncle Gu. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how much more wine I would have been forced to drink." Qin Jing bowed in thanks.

Perhaps because they had met several times during the exams, Gu Mingda always felt that Qin Jing was his own junior. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Why are you being so polite to me, kid? I'm just being generous and saying that I treat you like my own child."

Qin Jing raised his lips when he heard this: "When I look at Uncle Gu, I feel like he is my own elder. I can't help but want to get closer to him."

His smile is like thousands of flowers blooming one after another in spring, making people dazzled.

Many noble ladies who had just left Xianyue Tower couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Both Gu Huiyuan and Brother Qin are talented. Any work they create can be handed down from generation to generation. I admire them."

Suddenly someone at the side spoke up in praise.

The ladies in front of the restaurant were all stunned when they heard the voice and looked over.

Qin Jing is as graceful as an orchid and a jade tree. Gu Mingda is a little older, but also tall and handsome.

Although Shen Changfeng, who was standing next to Gu Mingda, was a man, he had beautiful features and was as beautiful as a woman.

Lu Siqian, who was speaking, rarely appears in public now, but when he shows up now, he catches people's eyes.

Four handsome men standing together looked like a painting.

Not to mention the ladies who were stunned, many young men and wives on the street were staring for a long time without moving.
