Of course, Fang Xiaoxi was quite proud, because her master liked the food she cooked the most. She smiled and nodded: "That's true, I can't wait to go home now."
The return journey was still very fast and we arrived at Xianyou Town. The carriage went all the way back to the government office. It happened that Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao did not go out today.
Qian Jiujiu was quite happy when Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi came back. Fang Xiaoxi came forward to greet them and said, "Hello, Master. It's so cold, why are you still out? I bought a lot of things for you, Master. I'll send them to your room."
Qian Jiujiu hummed and was a little curious about what Fang Xiaoxi bought. Then she found that they were just some local specialties, many of which were ingredients for cooking, which made her laugh and cry.
"Shouldn't you move this thing directly to the kitchen? You don't have to cook today. It's still early. Take a break and go home. The New Year is almost here. Why are you coming back now?"
Fang Xiaoxi just smiled and explained: "There was a small problem, so I came back late."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Fang Xiaoxi in surprise: "What little problem is that? Have you solved it?"
Fang Xiaoxi shook her head and said honestly, "It hasn't been solved yet, but there's no rush. Let's celebrate the New Year first, and then we'll talk about it. I've taken down all the things, and I'll take the rest home. Goodbye, Master."
Qian Jiujiu yelled at Nan Nan, "Nan Nan, send your junior sister home safely before coming back."
Nan Nan said "oh" and got into Fang Xiaoxi's carriage. The carriage quickly headed towards Fangjia Village, while Qian Jiujiu went to clean up the things Fang Xiaoxi brought back to honor her.
Soon Qingye came in and said, "Master, there is someone outside. He said that the princess sent something for you."
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised. Didn't Beibei just write a letter? Why did he send something again? He walked outside: "What is it? Who sent it?"
"It was sent by the secret guards of the mansion. It seems to be bacon made by the princess herself."
Homemade bacon? Beibei is so lazy, but he can actually make bacon himself? Qian Jiujiu became more and more curious. The secret guard took out the thing, and it really was more than 100 kilograms of bacon.
Qian Jiujiu was speechless: "Tell me what's going on with the princess now? Why is she making bacon herself?"
The secret guards had also been following Beibei, but not in public. When Beibei and others were in the village, they were guarding outside the village. However, they knew what Beibei had experienced, so they told Beibei everything.
Qian Jiujiu knew that Jiang Hu was going to open a pig farm, which was considered to promote his elder brother and to make the people in the village live a better life. This approach is understandable, but the recipes for making bacon and ham were all from his daughter. Qian Jiujiu was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"Did your master tell you about profit sharing? Will your master get a share of the money from selling the ham and bacon?"
The secret guard shook his head: "I don't know."
I won't tell a secret guard about this. Qian Jiujiu didn't think of this: "I don't know, then it's probably gone. Send this bacon to the kitchen and make some to taste in the evening."
Qing Ye was a little puzzled when he saw that his master was not in a good mood. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Master, are you in a bad mood?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Qing Ye and sighed: "I'm thinking about whether to call Bei Bei back."
Qing Ye was actually a little surprised: "Master, are you not happy about the matter between the princess and President Jiang?"
She thought that her master agreed with the relationship between the princess and President Jiang, otherwise why would he allow her and President Jiang to continue to have such contact.
Qian Jiujiu curled her lips and said nothing. Qingye didn't have any children, so she didn't understand her worries about the children. She originally thought that Jiang Hu was brought up by Xiaoman, so he should be good.
But now it seems that this is not the case. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu's face became even gloomier, and it had not improved when Mu Yexiao came back.
Mu Yexiao was in a good mood when he heard the news that his son had returned. But when he got home, he heard that his daughter had also sent gifts, which made him even happier.
But when he saw Qian Jiujiu, he found that Qian Jiujiu was in a bad mood, and the happy expression on her face instantly disappeared.
"What's wrong? Who made my wife unhappy?"
Qian Jiujiu looked up at Mu Yexiao and said, "My husband seems to be in a good mood."
Mu Yexiao did not hide it: "Yes, Nannan is back, let the kitchen make him something delicious tonight. And Beibei also sent something back, didn't he? Who offended you?"
Qian Jiujiu sighed: "What Beibei sent back was the bacon she made herself. When your daughter was at home, she always made things by herself. Now she is cooking for others in other people's homes. I feel bad."
Mu Yexiao also frowned. If Beibei had collected this thing from outside, he might be very happy. Did she make it herself? Mu Yexiao was also a little undecided: "Maybe she just wanted to express her filial piety?"
Qian Jiujiu snorted, "What do you mean by showing her filial piety? These bacon are all experimental products. They are made with Beibei's secret recipe and exchanged for money for Jiang Hu. My daughter is so noble, why should she do these things? It's infuriating."
When Mu Yexiao heard this, he immediately understood why Qian Jiujiu was angry. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "I'll have someone bring Bei Bei back. Since you don't want to stay in Kyoto, then stay with us."
Qian Jiujiu actually nodded in agreement: "That's fine. I thought this child had grown up with us and we didn't need to worry about him. Why is he like this now?"
Beibei had no idea that because of a bacon recipe and because she made the bacon, her parents had already started to arrange for someone to bring her home.
"Qingye, why don't you go there in person? Why would you spend the New Year at someone else's house? I have Shion by my side, so you don't have to worry about me."
Qing Ye now understood what Qian Jiujiu was worried about. Yes, Bei Bei's status was so noble, why did he do these things when he came to Jiang Hu's house? It was completely a degradation of his status. The master was distressed, but it was also true that she was a little angry after hearing what the secret guard said today.
"Master, rest assured, I will set off tonight."
Qian Jiujiu immediately stopped him: "That's not necessary, let's leave tomorrow morning. There's no need to rush this evening. Anyway, we won't be able to make it back for the New Year."
Qing Ye could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning. I'll go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare some food, including some of the bacon that the princess sent."
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "Okay."
Anyway, it's been delivered. No matter how sad it is, you still have to eat it: "Send someone to guard the door. When Nan Nan comes back, we can have dinner."
After Nan Nan sent Fang Xiaoxi home, she said hello to Fang's parents and turned back. It was time for dinner and she had some delicious bacon.
"This bacon is good, Mom, where did you buy it? Buy more."
Qian Jiujiu twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Nan Nan with a half-smile: "This was made by Bei Bei himself."
Nan Nan immediately opened her eyes and said, "This girl didn't come back for the New Year, but she sent some bacon back. You are too easy to bribe, mother."
Qian Jiujiu glared at Nan Nan and said, "Yes, so I decided to ask Aunt Qingye to bring her back tomorrow."
Nan Nan was stunned and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Mom, what happened? You won't bring Bei Bei back just for such a small matter."
Qian Jiujiu didn't want Nan Nan to get involved in this matter, so she changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. I have my own ideas. But what problems did you encounter? Why did you come back so late? Did the Cuju team encounter any problems?"
The Chinese New Year is only three days away. She has already prepared everything, and this guy is coming back slowly. Nan Nan did not hide it: "No, my Cuju team is doing very well, it's Xiao Xi who has a problem."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Nan Nan in disbelief: "With you here, she will still encounter problems? I'm not saying anything to Mu Qiancheng, what's the point of you growing up so big?"
Nan Nan was confused. Why was he criticized? What was the point of him growing so big? He was very useful, wasn't he
"She didn't ask me for help."
Qian Jiujiu twitched her lips twice, and for a moment she didn't know what to say: "You said you and Beibei, why don't you make me feel at ease? Waiting for her to ask for help? She can solve it herself, but it will take more time. Will she ask you for help?"
"You don't have to wait for her to ask for help. You have already solved all her problems. Only then will she be touched. Are you stupid? You are still waiting for her to ask. When she asks, it is completely different from you taking the initiative, okay?"
Nan Nan was stunned for a moment, and Mu Yexiao began to educate Nan Nan: "That's right, Nan Nan, let's not talk about whether you have feelings for Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi is your junior sister, you can't just watch her get into trouble, once you find that she is in trouble, you have to solve it."
Is that so? Nan Nan looked at Mu Yexiao and said, "Dad, have you never asked Mom to solve your own problems?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes: "I'm different. When I encounter a problem, I solve it on the spot. I don't even have to wait for your father to take action."
Mu Yexiao also nodded: "That's right, although Xiaoxi is your mother's apprentice, she hasn't mastered this skill. She is still stumped by the problem. This won't work."
Nan Nan looked at the two people flattering each other and laughed, "Got it, I'll ask someone to find out what problem Xiao Xi encountered and solve it for her. Then it will be a surprise for her, okay?"
Qian Jiujiu was finally satisfied and hummed, "That's right. You don't even have the energy to do something that can be done with just one order. What are you thinking about? Can I still expect you to be nice to Xiaoxi and take Xiaoxi's affairs to heart?"
Nan Nan felt that he was being attacked again. Was he his biological son
