Chapter 223 I like it very much
Qi Shuo stayed in the military camp for two days. After handling official business, he hurried back to the general's mansion. He wanted to get back to the mansion as soon as possible. He finally understood the feeling of those soldiers being tied to their families. Now that he also had this kind of tie, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
When Qi Shuo passed by the jewelry store, he suddenly thought of bringing a gift back to Cheng Wenwen, so he got off the horse and entered the jewelry store.
When the owner of the jewelry store saw him coming in, she immediately greeted him with a smile and asked, "Sir, what kind of jewelry do you want to choose? Or you can tell me who you are choosing it for, and I can help you with some advice."
Qi Shuo thought for a moment and said, "I picked it for the person I like!"
"Is that so? Then you can give me a hairpin as a token of your love. Come and have a look. Here are all hairpins suitable for young girls. See if there is anything that catches your eye!" The female proprietress was very enthusiastic.
Qi Shuo looked around the counter and finally his eyes fell on a gardenia hairpin.
He remembered that she seemed to have said that he liked the smell of gardenia.
"You have good taste, sir. This hairpin is very beautiful!"
Qi Shuo immediately said: "Wrap it up!"
"Yes!" With the business coming, the proprietress immediately took the hairpin carefully and began to pack it up. She also meticulously tied a bow with a pink cloth strip, making it look like a lovely gift.
"Here you go, take care!" the proprietress handed it over happily.
After paying the money, Qi Shuo nodded, took the box in his hand, and happily rode away. He hurried to the general's mansion, got off the horse, and immediately went to Cheng Wenwen's yard at full speed.
Cheng Wenwen didn't know Qi Shuo was coming back today. She was making hot pot today and was having a meal with Qi Xing, Qi Qi, Yao Rongen and Yao Miaoer! The yard was so lively, the shabu-shabu pot was so hot and fragrant that people couldn't help but eat it to their heart's content.
"Cousin, your cooking skills are really great. I can't get used to eating food cooked by others after coming to your place for dinner these days. I'm afraid I can't live without you in the future!" Yao Miaoer said while hugging Cheng Wenwen.
Yao Rongen also said, "That's right, I will follow my cousin wherever she goes in the future, so that I won't miss out on such delicious food."
"Cousin, you're not going to get married in the future? What are you saying? Are you going to ruin your cousin's marriage?" Yao Miaoer snorted coldly.
Yao Rongen said unhurriedly, "Then it's not right for you to keep following your cousin! Are you going to be an old maid and not get married?"
"Who said I can't? It's normal for us girls to stay together without getting married! Why do we need stinky men like you!"
Yao Miaoer was unhappy these days when she went to Qingsong Academy and she started to dislike men.
"Just eat your food! You keep talking so much, and even eating can't stop you from talking! Don't you act like a girl all day? What are you doing out all day dressed in such a weird way?" Yao Rongen also noticed that something was wrong with Yao Miaoer, and wanted to take the opportunity to ask her about it.
Yao Miaoer snorted coldly: "It's none of your business!"
Qi Xing knew what Yao Miaoer had done! But it was their adult business, and he, a child, didn't want to get involved.
Cheng Wenwen just smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you are all my cousins, no need to quarrel! At worst I can find a few cooks to teach you how to cook and you can take them away!"
Yao Rongen's attention was successfully diverted, and he nodded and said, "That's right! When my cousin comes home with me, I'll just teach the cooks a little more!"
It was bustling inside, and Qi Shuo heard it as soon as he reached the door! He paused for a while before walking in.
"The general is back!" Pei'er noticed Qi Shuo first, and immediately stood up to bring a stool for Qi Shuo to place next to her young lady.
Yao Rongen still didn't like Qi Shuo, and immediately wanted to stop Qi Shuo from sitting next to Cheng Wenwen, but Qi Shuo saw through his plan and got there first. He immediately pushed Yao Rongen away and sat on the stool next to Cheng Wenwen.
Yao Rongen was nearly knocked down by Qi Shuo's size, and the juice in the bowl in his hand spilled on his feet. He glared at Qi Shuo angrily, but Qi Shuo smiled at him and said, "Cousin, sit down! Why are you standing?"
"I'll go get more rice!" Yao Rongen said gritting his teeth.
Yao Rongen had no words to express his pain, so he just endured it and pretended to add more rice. In his heart, he cursed Qi Shuo a thousand times, saying that this guy was really a bad person.
Qi Shuo didn't care and asked Cheng Wenwen, "Although you like to cook, don't work too hard. Rest more and don't worry about them."
Cheng Wenwen smiled and said, "I don't just cook for them, I cook for myself too! Besides, I'm just in charge of directing the food, so adding some seasonings isn't too tiring."
"That's good!" Qi Shuo nodded.
Cheng Wenwen asked him again: "Have you dealt with your military affairs so quickly?"
"Yes! Once it's handled, I'll come back to see you as soon as possible. After they leave, I'll come to see you alone in the evening. I have something to give you." Qi Shuo whispered.
Cheng Wenwen couldn't help but smile and buried her head in eating.
Yao Miaoer saw through the two people's cheesy love affair, but she had no choice but to sit far away, fearing that she would be affected.
Yao Rongen brought out more food and saw the two people sitting so close to each other. He became a little angry and wanted to separate them.
Although he no longer had any thoughts about Cheng Wenwen, she was his cousin after all, and as a form maker he couldn't let her be easily deceived by an old man!
"Cousin, what are you talking about? Let me listen too." Yao Rongen moved closer to the two of them, wanting to monitor Qi Shuo and the two of them.
But this behavior was indeed redundant and annoying for two people in love. They didn't want to say it out loud, so they had to eat in silence. When everyone was full, they chatted and then left.
Yao Rongen left Cheng Wenwen's small courtyard only after seeing Qi Shuo leave.
However, Yao Rongen did not expect that Qi Shuo would come back and wait until everyone had left, and then knock on Cheng Wenwen's door. Cheng Wenwen was already waiting in the yard. When she heard the voice, she immediately went out to open the door, and then saw Qi Shuo and asked her to come in.
Qi Shuo hugged her and said, "I've missed you so much these days! I'm in the military camp and I always feel like time is passing too slowly. It's really too slow. I can't wait to come back and see you!"
Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Me too, I miss you so much!"
Qi Shuo hugged her, and after relieving his longing for her, he immediately took out a long and thin small box from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Wenwen.
Cheng Wenwen looked at the exquisite bow on the box and asked, "What is this?"
"You'll know once you open it!" Qi Shuo said with a smile.
Cheng Wenwen slowly untied the bow, then opened the box and saw an exquisite jade hairpin inside. She picked it up and looked at it carefully, saying, "It's a gardenia!"
"Yes! I remember you like gardenias. I wonder if I am wrong!" Qi Shuo said.
Cheng Wenwen shook her head: "I'm not mistaken, I like it very much, thank you! Please help me put it on!"
