Gourmet pastoral: the clever mother raises the cute baby

Chapter 205 Exquisite Gift Box
Mu Cangwu also lit up the oil lamps in the main room, and began to toss the gifts under the bright light.

They were all packed in boxes, presumably they were food or something expensive.

He opened three boxes in a row, and there were pastries inside. It was not unusual, all plum blossom cakes were exquisitely made.

Tian Xiaoyu ate the rice porridge, and only now did he get excited. Seeing Aunt Ye also sighed, he was at a loss for a while.

Yuan Bao sat beside her obediently, Tian Xiaoyu looked out of the window, the moon was already high, and the night was obviously getting late.

"Mother, I want to sleep." Yuan Bao saw that his mother and grandma seemed unhappy, but he yawned without listening, so he pulled Tian Xiaoyu's sleeve timidly.

That's right, Yuan Bao has already fallen asleep at this moment on weekdays, but after tossing and tossing until now, he has neglected the child again.

When Aunt Ye heard this, she hurriedly took Yuan Bao to wash up. Yuan Bao shrank into Tian Xiaoyu's bed, pressed against her mother's belly, and then slowly fell asleep.

Tian Xiaoyu felt relieved when she heard Yuan Bao's breathing gradually stabilized, and the little hand that had been touching her belly drooped.

"Ma'am, Cang Wu must not be asleep yet, can you go and see what he is doing." Tian Xiaoyu said to Aunt Ye through the window and saw the bright lights in the main room.

"Okay, just wait, I'll ask." Aunt Ye nodded and hurried to the main room.

Mu Cangwu took apart all the gift boxes, they were all plum cakes, he picked up one of them, and looked at it carefully.The plum blossom cake is exquisitely made, exquisite and small, and there is nothing suspicious about it.

It smells like plum blossoms, as if the petals of plum blossoms are really mixed in it. The light powdered sugar is spread out, and it is slightly sweet when you smell it carefully.

Mu Cangwu looked at the plum blossom cake in his hand, thinking about breaking it open to see if there was really candied plum blossom filling in the plum blossom cake.

Unexpectedly, there was no plum blossom filling that Mu Cangwu wanted in the plum blossom cake, but a small piece of paper.

This piece of paper is not the crude grass paper of ordinary people, but the rice paper that literati and inkmen love to paint.Mu Cangwu hurriedly took out a small piece of paper to examine carefully, hoping to find some clues, so as to find Qiaomei based on the clues.

However, this small piece of paper does not have any patterned text.Mu Cangwu wondered if he should tell Tian Xiaoyu about the mystery hidden in the plum cake.

But I was afraid that there would not be any effective clues, which gave Tian Xiaoyu and Aunt Ye new hope, and then lost their clues.

So, Mu Cangwu thought about breaking open other plum cakes to find out.

Mu Cangwu broke pieces of plum blossom cake into two halves and scattered them around the gift box. He discovered that there were small pieces of paper with different patterns hidden in each piece of plum blossom cake.

However, the paper quality of these small pieces of paper is the same, but more or less different characters and ink paintings are revealed.He hurriedly collected these small pieces of paper, thinking about going to tell Tian Xiaoyu about this new discovery.

He put these small pieces of paper in a small pouch, and walked quickly to Tian Xiaoyu's room, because of the emergency, he even forgot to knock on the door to report, and rushed straight into Tian Xiaoyu's room door.

Tian Xiaoyu was taken aback by the sudden knock on the door, but seeing that it was Mu Cangwu who came, he immediately asked eagerly, "Cangwu, do you have any new clues?"

Mu Cangwu shook out the collected scraps of paper from the small pouch, and said, "Look, I found these scraps of paper in the twenty boxes of plum cakes that Liu Zhiwen sent, look quickly. Look, are these scraps of paper related to Qiaomei?"

Aunt Ye went there and didn't find Mu Cangwu, she muttered: "The light was on just now, why did you come here and see no one with the light on?"

After being puzzled for a while, he thought about telling Tian Xiaoyu, and then walked back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw that the door of Tian Xiaoyu's room was open, so he said: "It's such a cold day, why don't you close the door."

While muttering, Tian Xiaoyu said in amazement: "These scraps of paper are Qiaomei and Liao Qing's token of love, the scraps of folding fan!"

Then he said, "Hey, that's not right, isn't Qiaomei's folding fan in the house?"

When Aunt Ye heard about Qiaomei, she hurried to Tian Xiaoyu's room and shouted, "What? What's a piece of paper? What's wrong with Meizi? Is there any news about Meizi?!"

Seeing that it was the aunt who came back, Tian Xiaoyu said, "Don't worry, aunt, Qiaomei has a clue. Cangwu has found the clue."

Aunt Ye turned around and saw Mu Cangwu sitting opposite Xiaoyu and looking at her, the table was full of scraps of paper.

Mu Cangwu opened his mouth and said, "Ma'am, I found these scraps of paper in the plum cake that Liu Zhiwen sent. Xiaoyu said that they were the scraps of paper from the folding fan of Qiaomei and Liao Qing."

Aunt Ye looked at the pieces of paper and pieced them together with her hands, but she couldn't piece together anything. She said anxiously, "What clues can these pieces of paper give? There are so many folding fans in this pattern, and they can be found with these pieces of paper." Dao Qiaomei?"

Tian Xiaoyu said: "Ma'am, I have seen the pattern on this piece of paper, and there are words written by Liao Qing to Qiaomei on it, it must be Qiaomei's folding fan, there is nothing wrong with it, but yesterday I saw the folding fan on Qiaomei. Under Mei's pillow, how could it be inside the plum blossom cake after all this time?"

Aunt Ye was puzzled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked again: "This matter is still strange, you just wait, I will go and see if there is a folding fan under the pillow in Meizi's room."

"Well, auntie, go quickly." Tian Xiaoyu also agreed with Aunt Ye's statement.

Mu Cangwu saw Aunt Ye go out, so he said to Tian Xiaoyu: "This plum cake was sent by someone from Liu Zhiwen, and there are such things in it, which means he designed it all."

Although Tian Xiaoyu agreed with Mu Cangwu's words, what was Liu Zhiwen's purpose in doing this?
"Cangwu, why do you think this Liu Zhiwen is? After taking so much effort to abduct Qiaomei, and then tricking Yunqing and the others into reporting to the officials, and now sending such a gift box, why?" Tian Xiaoyu Sitting on the kang, his complexion is slightly ruddy at this moment.

Mu Cangwu shook his head, he was also puzzled as to what Liu Zhiwen's purpose was for doing this.

Aunt Ye went to Qiaomei's room, and she really found a folding fan, and immediately ran to Tian Xiaoyu's room in a hurry, raised the fan in her hand and said in a hurry, "Look, look, is this right? Our plum fan?"

Tian Xiaoyu frowned even more when she saw the folding fan in Aunt Ye's hand, what's going on?Could it be that Liao Qing painted two identical fans?But how did this man know?Things are now in a mystery again.
