Chapter 287 Beautiful as a Picture

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

Niu Niu raised her neck proudly and said, "Of course, my family used to have a braised food shop, and I helped adults sell goods! Every time I helped, my braised food sold out very quickly!"

When Qin Jingshu heard this, her eyes were filled with admiration. When she was tortured by her mother to the point of death, Niuniu, who was her own age, was able to help the family a lot!

"Niuniu, was the braised food at your home also very delicious?" Qin Jingshu asked.

Niuniu felt less sleepy when she mentioned this and said, "Do you know the Fuwang Braised Meat Shop in Beijing? They use my recipe."

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

The braised food on the table is a cold dish, all cut into small pieces, and the plates are exquisitely stacked in one place. There is almost only one mouthful for each person. It is a complimentary dish, so the plate is quickly empty.

Unlike other tables where people call for extra dishes when the dishes are empty, this table is full of unmarried girls. Even if the food is empty, they are embarrassed to ask for extra dishes.

Moreover, if they don't really like to eat, they usually won't eat an empty plate, at least some will be left, so as to show that they have a small appetite.

Now that the braised pork has begun, the dishes on this table have completely caught the attention of the ladies. Their appetites have been opened up, and they have gradually tasted the goodness of other dishes.

"I finally understand why the princess decided to hold the Poetry Club here. It turned out that she liked the cook here." A noble girl aged fourteen or fifteen said to Shen Ling.

Shen Ling smiled softly and said, "Speaking of which, I have eaten in the palace many times, but the dishes here are not worse than those in the palace."

Shen Ling said it politely. In fact, she secretly felt that many of the dishes were much better than those in the palace, but she couldn't say this openly.

By the time the table was over, most of the dishes were empty. The ladies on the table looked around. In this situation, there was no need to worry about who was acting as the eyes and mouth, and it would spread a bad reputation. After all, the whole table was an accomplice.

When they looked at each other, they felt very close to each other, and the distance between them was completely shortened in just one meal.

"Next time I hold a poetry meeting, I will hold it here. You will all come then." Miss Zhao took Shen Ling and said.

Shen Ling couldn't help laughing.

Miss Zhao's family turned to look at Niu Niu and said, "Baby, I'm coming too. With you here, the food will be more delicious."

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

Miss Zhao saw that Niuniu was as cute as a porcelain doll, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her fair little face: "You're so good!"

Miss Zhao originally thought that the little girl's face looked like her sister, but now that she was touching Niu Niu's tender little face, she just couldn't put it down. She couldn't help but look back at the devil in the family, secretly thinking that she really wanted to compare the goods, and her sister Even if you are just a skinned monkey, your face is still not smooth! Rougher than even an adult like her!

Hehe, my dear baby’s face is better to touch.

But when she turned around, Shen Ling took her hand away with a dark face.

"Don't touch children's faces!" Shen Ling said unhappily.

Shen Ling was very angry. She didn't even touch Niu Niu's face a few times, but Miss Zhao took a big advantage.

Miss Zhao retracted her hand without knowing what she wanted to say.

"Next time I invite you to my house, we will play together." Qin Jingshu whispered to Niu Niu.

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

Niu Niu didn't refuse and just asked: "Will your mother let me be a guest at your home?"

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she immediately lowered her head in despair. She was really not sure of convincing her mother.

Mrs. Xianguo always had a higher level of attention. Whichever girl her daughter talked to a few words from, she would carefully inquire about the background of the girl to see if any of her father or brothers were officials in the court and how big the officials were.

Niu Niu saw her like this and said, "It's okay, I can't go to your house, but you can come to my house! Let me tell you, there is a sister in my family who makes delicious snacks. She is very good!"

Qin Jingshu was moved. She didn't expect that her good friend, whom she had just met, would take such good care of her. She nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Niuniu."

The maid sent out by Qin Jingshu ran around the city without even having lunch, and finally came back with large and small bags.

"These pastries are all for you. They are my first gift to you." Qin Jingshu said seriously to Niuniu.

Niu Niu waved her hand and said, "There are too many, just give me a pack."

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

Niu Niu looked troubled.

But Qin Jingshu said again: "My dear, just think it's me begging you, okay?"

Niu Niu:......

It was the first time that Niuniu was begged to accept a gift.

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

Seeing her accept it, Qin Jingshu's face relaxed visibly.

"Miss, it's getting late. We should go back home. The prince is already 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: "Baby, don't forget me. You can also post your post to my elder brother. I beg my elder brother to take me out..."

Niuniu felt that Qin Jingshu was not going home, but was going to a den of wolves.

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

The two girls walked hand in hand to the door 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 his hands in thanks.

Perhaps because they met several times during the exam, Gu Mingda always felt that Qin Jing was his own junior. He smiled and waved his hand, saying: "You kid, why are you being polite to me? I'm just being arrogant and saying that I look at you like my own child."

When Qin Jing heard this, the corners of his mouth rose: "I look at Uncle Gu, and I feel like he is my own elder. I always want to get close to him."

His smile was like thousands of flowers blooming in spring, making people dazzled.

Many noble ladies who had just left Xianyue Tower couldn't help but look at him several more times.

"Gu Huiyuan and Brother Qin are both talented. Their works are handed down from generation to generation. I admire them." Someone suddenly praised them. The ladies in front of the restaurant were stunned when they heard the voice. Qin Jing was as beautiful as a jade tree. Gu Mingda was a little older, but also tall and handsome. Shen Changfeng, who was beside Gu Mingda, was a man, but he had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his beauty was not inferior to that of a woman. Lu Siqian, who was speaking, rarely appeared in front of people. When he showed up, he was also eye-catching. Four handsome men stood together, like a painting. Not to mention the ladies, many young men and wives on the street were staring at them for a long time without moving their feet.
