Chapter 797 Surprise? Frightened?

“What the fourth aunt said is...”

Wan Xinyue smiled and was suddenly stunned.

She didn’t say that this thing was for others to eat, especially not for Lu Jingyan. How did Su Mulan know?

"Fourth Aunt, I..." Wan Xinyue blushed, wrung her fingers, and looked at Su Mulan eagerly, "Don't let Fourth Uncle know about this."

“Your fourth uncle told me.”

Su Mulan looked at the sky speechlessly.

This ten thousand new moon, do you still think you can hide it?

Just the energy of running to the county town all day long, coupled with the chatting with other children after coming back, anyone could guess that Lu Jingyan couldn't do anything without Lu Jingyan's appearance.

Wan Xinyue scratched her ears and said, "If my fourth uncle knows about it, then I guess my dad will know about it. I originally wanted to give my dad a surprise."

Is this... a surprise?

It should be called fright...

But since Wan Pengyun wanted to betroth Wan Xinyue to someone else, and now Wan Xinyue is interested in Lu Jingyan, maybe Wan Pengyun thinks it is a good thing?

Su Mulan didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only reach out and tap Wan Xinyue's forehead, "Come and help me wash the lotus root."

The lotus roots are in the cellar. In order to keep them fresh, the mud on them has not been washed away, and it is also covered with a thick layer. It is not an easy task to clean the mud now.

“Coming.” Wan Xinyue responded excitedly.

Glutinous rice needs to be soaked for a period of time, plus steaming time. Sumulan makes the sweet-scented osmanthus sugared lotus root after dinner in the evening.

"It looks like it's done now, but it's actually not tasty enough. If it tastes good, it's best to soak it in this sugar water overnight. I'll just get up tomorrow morning and heat it up for you. You can take it back and eat it." Probably the most delicious.”

While Su Mulan was talking, he put all the sweet-scented osmanthus and sugared lotus roots into the casserole and closed the lid.

"It's done." Wan Xinyue calculated that the time was just right and helped Su Mulan pack everything before going to wash up and go to bed.

Su Mulan returned to the house after packing her things and saw Bai Shitang sitting in the main room, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sitting there in a daze.

“What’s the matter? You look worried.” Su Mulan saw that the tea in Bai Shitang’s cup had gone to the bottom and added some to him.

Bai Shitang came back to his senses and took a sip of the tea in the cup. "I sent Chen Shang to buy raw silk before. I said he should be back by this time, but I haven't heard from him yet."

"I asked someone to go to the dock and ask. They said that shipping and water transportation have been peaceful these days, and there are no stormy days in the south. Logically speaking, we shouldn't be delayed because of the rush."

"After thinking about it, I guess I encountered something there and got stuck."

It's just that if something happens, I should send a message back.

When Chen Shangren left, Baishitang gave him enough money. If something really happened and he bought an express letter, he should have it in hand by now.

Hearing this, Su Mulan frowned slightly, "It's the first time I go back to such a far away place and I'm not familiar with the place, so it's probably a bit troublesome. But I remember that Chen Shang is very smart. If something happens, he will probably find a way. solve."

"Yeah." Bai Shitang nodded slightly, added some water to the teapot on the small stove, and stirred the charcoal fire to make it more vigorous.

Seeing that Bai Shitang had no intention of sleeping at the moment, Su Mulan simply sat down.
