Chapter Fourteen

"Hmph!" Shi Qing turned her back.

"Oh, my wife is angry with me. What should I do? It seems that I can only get rid of the roots!" Zhang Wei shouted and pretended to rush towards Shi Qing.

"Oh, I hate it~! Are the pastries ready?" Shi Qing still pouted and said proudly.

"It's done, it's done, let's go, you can try it first. I won't give it to my aunt anymore, I'll give it to you." Zhang Wei continued to tease her.

"Bah! You are still a scholar, don't be so frivolous!" Shi Qing spat and walked into the kitchen.

Shiqing tasted a bite of the cake and looked at Zhang Wei in surprise.

"How is it? How does it taste?" Zhang Wei has actually tasted it. It tastes OK, but it is not the same as the pastries of this era. Most of the pastries of this era are similar to Su-style pastries. The ones made by Zhang Wei are somewhat similar to bee cakes, but the taste is closer to shredded cakes.

"It's delicious. Where did you learn this kind of pastry for the first time?" Shi Qing said curiously. With her family's wealth, she has tried all kinds of delicious pastries in Fengcheng, but this is the first time she has tasted this.

"I made it myself. If you like it, I will often make it for you to eat. I will make something for you in the future, and I will make something for you to taste better than this!" Zhang Wei deliberately showed a complacent expression so that she would not ask again.

"Okay, but aren't you a scholar? Aren't scholars supposed to stay away from the kitchen?" Shi Qing said casually.

"You are taking the truth out of context. Master said: Seeing his life, he cannot bear to see his death; hearing his voice, he cannot bear to eat his meat. Therefore, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. This is the original text, and there are two key points in connection with the context. First, Mencius said that King Xuan of Qi, who stays away from the kitchen, was the benevolence of a gentleman, and was flattering and promoting his benevolence. The second is that Mencius clearly said that King Xuan of Qi was the benevolence of the king, not the benevolence of everyone. Does a gentleman stop eating? The Analects of Confucius recorded several times cooking by saints. Is a saint not a gentleman?"

Zhang did not accept the original owner's memory, so he could be said to memorize these classics and add his own understanding, so he said these words that seem different from this era but are in line with Confucianism.

Shiqing was originally joking with him. She had been familiar with poetry since she was a child, so she naturally knew the context of a gentleman being away from the kitchen, but she had never heard of this. At most, it was said that a gentleman was kind, so she could not bear to kill. She only felt that Zhang Wei's remarks were incisive. Combined with the context, she understood it much more superficially.

Shi Qing smiled and said, "My husband is really knowledgeable and has a good understanding. After analyzing and inciting it, he is taught and taught." He also gave a bow.

Zhang Wei smiled and nodded, "The son can teach you."

"If you say you are fat, you will be panting. Let's go." Shi Qing regained her arrogance. She carefully took out the pastries one by one, took off the greased paper, put them in the tray, turned around and left. Zhang Wei quickly picked up the tray and chased after her and walked side by side with her.

"After a while, you will say it was you who did it. Don't mention me, just say hello to her." Zhang Wei said to Shi Qing.

"Why? What you did is what you did. I can't do it." Shi Qing was a little unhappy. She wanted to do this, and maybe she could compare Wen Qing, but how could she be proud of her lie?

"Madam, we are one husband and wife, mine is yours, yours, and yours is yours, and it is said that it was done by you personally, which can also enhance your sisters' relationship. You said that I did it for her, what's the use of her affection? You have to learn to maximize your interests within a reasonable range." Zhang Wei said seriously, as if he was preaching. Shi Qing ignored the previous words, but she thought the last sentence made sense, but she still shook her head and said that she didn't want to lie.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Weihuafeng turned around and joked again: "Besides, if my aunt knew that it was me, she thought I had any intention of her. After eating, she would like to be a big student. It would be beyond my wish for two girls to compete for her husband."

"Bah! You are just a little serious, why do you say such frivolous words to anger me! Who wants to fight for you?" Shi Qing said ashamed and reached out to beat me.

Zhang Wei lifted the pallet to block Shi Qing and said, "I am a frivolous person, and I can't return the goods even if I get married."

After laughing and making fun, Shiqing was going to visit Wenqing, and Zhang Wei was going to the palace school. Shiqing explained: "Husband, you can go to the account room to withdraw the monthly silver first. Don't visit it empty-handedly, and then go to the horse shed to call a carriage to take you over. Daddy has already said hello, and I have taken you to see it just now."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, handed the pastry to Shi Qing and turned around and headed to the account room. Shi Qing looked at Zhang Wei's back and was a little confused. When Zhang Wei's back could no longer be seen, she turned around and walked towards the embroidery building.

After making a cake, the two of them have a lot of harmony, especially when Zhang Wei showed the eloquent and deliberately catered to the sales manager in his previous life. Shi Qing felt that the two of them seemed to be friends who had known each other for a long time. When he was with his cousin, he always pretended to be serious and kept his dirty thoughts in his heart. Although Zhang Wei's words were a little frivolous, they could always easily make her embarrassed and annoyed, but being with him was very relaxed, and there was also a trace of sweetness in his heart that he had never experienced before.

The sisters live in the same embroidery building, which is a two-story embroidery building, which is somewhat similar to the courtyard. The center of the building is a patio, the first floor is a room with main functions such as the main hall, study, piano room, bathroom, etc. The second floor is a bedroom, and the two large rooms on the south side are the sisters' boudoir. A maid and a woman live in a row of rooms on the north side.

Shiqing came to Wenqing's boudoir with pastries and knocked on the door gently. Wenqing's maid Xiaojiao opened the door and saw that it was Shiqing, so she hurriedly greeted her: "I've met the young lady." Then she reached out to take the pastries and welcomed Shiqing in.

When I came to Wenqing's bed, I saw Shiqing lying on the bed looking soft and weak. She looked four or five minutes like Shiqing. She had a pretty face and charming appearance, but her temperament was completely different from Shiqing. Her sister was proud, her sister was gentle, and her spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemums each had their own merits.

Wen Qing saw her sister coming, and spoke first, and said softly: "I have met my sister. I haven't even been able to join my sister's marriage. Why don't you bring my brother-in-law to me?"

"My sister is injured because of me. Lying down quickly and don't move around. My husband has something to do today, but I asked me to bring you a gift. This is a new pastry made by your brother-in-law and I will specially send it to you to try." Shi Qing originally wanted to say that it was made by Zhang Wei, but when she thought of Zhang Wei's maximization of interests and the joke of the two women competing for her husband, the words turned into something they made together.

"Brother-in-law is so amazing~! She can actually make the sister who never goes to the kitchen go to the kitchen to make pastries on the first day after her wedding. Come on, try it for me quickly, giggle~" Wen Qing came with a soft but playful voice.

Seeing her making fun of herself, Shiqing laughed and scolded: "I'm not just trying to coax you, a greedy ghost, you're still making fun of me!"

Wen Qing immediately fought back weakly: "I dare not~!"

He blinked and said playfully: "If you want to coax me, why don't you coax me sooner or later, you won't be coaxed me until you have a husband?"

-------------------------------------

Shiqing eats cake and thumb up,

Frivolous and cater to the atmosphere;

I looked at my back reluctantly,

A trace of sweetness lingers in my heart.
