Chapter 48: 來信
[The coming Letter]
The people who came to the shop were dazzled by the strange and bizarre things here, especially those exquisite cakes that they had never seen before, although they had never seen them before, but the fragrance floating around was always tempting them.
So originally some people who were just joining in the fun saw that the price of those pastries was still affordable, they could not help but want to buy some back to try. That Li Gongzi stood there, holding the small tray prepared by the shop, looking at the small layer of clean cloth on the top, feeling a bit strange, but for days his mood was not clear, so he didn’t ask too many questions, just put what he wanted to eat on the tray, and when it was almost ready, then under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he took the things to the counter to pay for them.
Tang Xiaobao seriously counted the cakes and desserts that Mr Li had taken down, most of them were sweets, so it didn’t seem that they were for himself. I don’t know whether it is because of Tang Shiman that a good and elegant young master has become like this.
Li Xiao seemed to be very unconcerned about the little look Tang Xiaobao gave himself from time to time, looking at the subordinate who was loading the pastries at the same time Tang Xiaobao was collecting the money, and thought that their process was very rare. It was just a small shop, yet it made so many tricks. Just thinking of Tang Xiaobao’s identity, also undisturbed.
Looking at the person in front of him is no different from that time, thinking of the Tang family of those things, Li Xiao also does not know what to say. Just looking at this serious Tang Xiaobao in front of him, he suddenly had the idea of opening his mouth to speak, so without realising it, the words that came to his mouth came out, “Little boss, your pastries here are really well made.”
Hearing Li Xiao’s praise, Tang Xiaobao was first surprised, then looking at the sincere look in his eyes, he suddenly smiled, and was quite embarrassed, “It’s all because the customers like it, I think it’s okay.”
Seeing Tang Xiaobao cheeks appear with small dimples, Li Xiao was in a trance and remembered that unique woman, just a moment, that strange idea will disappear. Even if it is the previous, his own family will not allow him to marry that person, let alone the present situation, thinking of the reason why he was sent to do things, Li Xiao is in the bottom of the heart silently sighing, he has been benevolent to Tang Shiman. As for what happens after that, he couldn’t care less.
Tang Xiaobao had been secretly sizing up Li Xiao, and when he saw him staring at the pastries with a grim look on his face, he thought he was thinking of Tang Shiman. After slightly tilting his head while thinking about it, Tang Xiao Bao still handed him a small pastry he had prepared and looked at him with a smile, “This is a gift prepared by our shop for customers who buy a lot, please accept it.”
While Tang Xiaobao sweetly smiled, Li Xiao glanced at him and smoothly took his packed things away. Until he passed through the crowd to the outside, he slowly opened the inside, only to see a small cat-shaped pastry, because of the length of a little round, so it appears a little cute.
Looking back at the shop door, Li Xiao smiled for the first time in days, and then left with the item in his hand.
It didn’t take long for this unique shop to become popular, and from time to time, some customers came to experience the unique way of selling, and some came because of the delicious pastries sold by this shop, and the name spread to others. But even if the guests become more, Tang Xiaobao also do not have the idea of extending the business hours, after all, he has promised Ji Ling can not be tired, but also to go home on time to make dinner.
These days, Ji Ling’s business is getting bigger and bigger, resulting in the need to deal with more and more things. Even now the body has been restored as a normal person in general, Ji Ling also began to be a little overwhelmed, but there is time, or did not forget to let Feng Ling to teach himself a little self-defence and health kung fu, a day’s time are arranged full. Only when he eats with Tang Xiaobao at dinner, can he relax a little bit. For the matter of accompanying Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling found it quite interesting.
Clipping a chopstick of Tang Xiaobao’s favourite sweet and sour pork into Tang Xiaobao’s bowl, Ji Ling looked at him and asked as if he hadn’t thought about it, “How’s the business in the shop today?”
Hearing Ji Ling’s question, Tang Xiaobao thought for a moment, and for some reason, Li Xiao’s thin face appeared in front of his eyes, “The business in the shop is better than he thought, I originally thought there wouldn’t be so many people, but I didn’t think that the food I made was sold out all of a sudden, this make me did not have a bit psychological prepare.” As he said this, paused for a while, a little depressed: “I also saw Mr Li, he looks a lot thinner.”
Seeing Tang Xiaobao mentioning Li Xiao, Ji Ling raised his eyebrows and seemed a little surprised. How could he not know that Tang Xiaobao still knew the Li family’s young master, but after looking at Tang Xiaobao again, he knew that he was only concerned about Li Xiao, and did not have any other thoughts, so he asked without a trace, “How could you see that he has lost weight?”
Tang Xiaobao bit the sweet and sour pork in his mouth, and said with some depression: “His cheeks are about to sink in, can it not be thin?” After he said that, he thought that it was still because of Tang Shiman, his original emotion which was still a little bit boring was even more depressed, and he mumbled, “It’s all because of that Tang Shiman.”
Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao, not knowing what he was thinking, he just gave Tang Xiaobao another chopstick of vegetables and said calmly, “If he can’t even get past his own feelings, then I don’t think he will have much success in the future.”
Hearing this from Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao was a bit unconvinced, so he looked at him a bit sadly and said, “It’s probably because he’s too deeply in love.” After all, in the past, that so obsessive, all of a sudden encountered this kind of thing and inevitably he had some acceptance.
Ji Ling did not answer, just raised his eyebrows, looking at the dishes in front of him, eyes deep.
Wait until the evening, Tang Xiaobao only suddenly felt, he had recently made too hot dishes, resulting in Ji Ling being very agitated. He has over and over again, even turned into the salted fish, and Ji Ling is still very interested in the way. Until finally even his eyes are not open, only drowsy sleep.
The next day, Tang Xiaobao woke up, his whole body aches and pains, but now has become accustomed to it, so when getting up is not much difficult, just get up then he needs to rub his own waist.
Green Lotus looked at Tang Xiaobao who got up late again, and knew the reason without saying, so she prepared warm congee before Tang Xiaobao got up, and only waited for him to come together to bring it over to him.
Looking at the young madam who looked a bit tired from drinking the congee, Green Lotus suggested in a low voice at the side: “Young madam, since you didn’t get up today, I ordered the shop to stay open today. After you finish your congee, would you like to take a good rest?”
Hearing Green Lotus’ arrangement, Tang Xiao Bao did not offer any comments, still shaking his head, he said to her, “No need, I’m not very tired.” When he said this, Tang Xiao Bao’s face was a bit red, still feeling a bit shy.
Looking at the shy Tang Xiaobao, Green Lotus didn’t give any more advice, lest the thin-skinned young madam of her own family would get into some bad mood because of this, and that would not be good.
In the days that followed, Tang Xiaobao went to the shop when he was free. Because of the good taste of the shop’s pastries, and the shop’s opening time is also very special, so it is also famous in this area.
The son of the Li family will also come from time to time to buy cakes, only now, not buying as much as before, but looking at the gradually improving Li Xiao, Tang Xiaobao still feels very pleased. At least proved, Li Gongzi gradually come out, sometimes even Li Gongzi and Tang Xiaobao chat a couple of words, are not a big deal, as if just chatting in general, which makes Tang Xiaobao think that the former Tang Shiman is simply more than something, if she is not too greedy, how would have missed that good husband?
While Tang Xiaobao was running around for his shop, Ji Ling was not only getting busier and busier, but also getting more and more entertained. Just Ji Ling himself does not like these entertainments, coupled with his position there, basically it is other people who flatter him, so even for the dinner party and entertainments he also picks his own needs to go, the other ones are all put off.
Today, because of the development of a new project, he also agreed to a banquet. He had a few drinks during the banquet, and when he went home, someone immediately brought me a sobering soup. After drinking the soup, Ji Ling will continue to study in the study room to deal with business under the worried eyes of Tang Xiaobao.
Looking at Ji Ling’s back, Tang Xiaobao said to Green Lotus beside him, “Why do you think Ji Ling is so desperate?”
Green Lotus looked at his young madam, pondered for a while, and cautiously guessed: “Because he needs more money?”
Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling’s direction of departure, and suddenly felt a little heartbroken, silently thinking, is it because he usually eats too much, that caused Ji Ling to work so hard to earn money to support his family.
Completely unaware of what Tang Xiaobao was thinking of, Ji Ling was sitting on a wide chair in the study, looking at the letter in Feng Ling’s hand, his eyes dark and unaware of what he was thinking of.
Seeing his own master who did not speak, Feng Ling handed him the letter in his hand, and then told him clearly what he had found out, “The main family knows that the young master seems to be recovering, and recently the business has made some achievements, so they hope that the young master can go back to the family. Moreover, it is said that the Grand Master’s side is still looking for a marriage partner for the Young Master.”
When Ji Ling, who originally did not have any reaction, heard Feng Ling’s last sentence, an ironic smile appeared on his lips, and he faintly said, “Those people have a good idea, I wonder what my father’s reaction will be.”
Feng Ling had followed Ji Ling all the way, and naturally knew how difficult it was for him, so he didn’t find it strange to see his reaction, and just stood respectfully waiting for his orders.
