Chapter 100 Roasted chestnuts with sugar

Xiao Jingmo watched the little girl staring at the oil paper bag in his arms for a moment, and chuckled softly.

Raising his hand, he opened the bag and placed it in front of Su Qingtian.

"Little... Qingtian likes to eat, so just eat more. I'll try one."

He almost called out the word "little master" again, but Xiao Jingmo was afraid that the atmosphere would be embarrassed by him and he quickly changed his words.

After all, he is already a descendant of the Xiao family's military mansion, and he can no longer say such words that are inconsistent with his status.

After thinking for a while, the young master's maiden name came out softly from the tip of his tongue.

When the word "Qingtian" escaped from his lips, Xiao Jingmo could hear his own violent heartbeat.

This was the first time that he, like General Xiao and other family members, called his young master's maiden name. The feeling was warm and beautiful, better than every moment he had experienced in the past.

The aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts instantly wafted out of the open oil paper bag. The little girl squinted her eyes and smiled, with two cute little pear dimples flying on her cheeks.

She reached out and took out a chestnut, peeled the shell lightly and handed it to Xiao Jingmo's mouth.

"Father just sent someone to send a message, and he will stay in the military camp tonight."

Since the young lady came to the house, the large kitchen has been prepared according to her favorite dishes under the orders of General Xiao.

Meng Fang asked. The general had dealt with a lot of trouble for him during his absence, and he felt a little guilty.

I also asked little Gongsun about his preferences, but Xiao Nan just said, I like to eat whatever sister Tiantian likes to eat.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yichen didn't know that Su Qingtian had the ability to treat patients and heal people, and the little girl didn't want to let her uncle know so soon, so she didn't mention it.

"My dear girl, everything cooked in the kitchen tonight is what you like to eat."

The young lady could cure Nie Captou's strange and terrifying disease in a matter of seconds. Wouldn't she be able to cure Xiao Yichen's leg disease that appeared for no reason?

Thinking of the four sons and one daughter of the Xiao family, Meng Fang couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart.

Xiao Yichen smiled, peeled one off and put it in his mouth in front of Su Qingtian.

The little girl turned around, grabbed a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts from Xiao Jingmo's arms, and ran directly into Xiao Yichen's arms.

Xiao Nan peeled the chestnuts, put them in her mouth, and invited Xiao Jingmo to go to the side hall with her. Meng Fang naturally followed.

"Grandpa Butler, the chestnuts roasted with sugar are delicious, please try them."

In these years, only General Xiao has been struggling to support the Xiao Family Menlin and the Xiao Family Army, the only army in the Mo Kingdom that can resist foreigners.

The old housekeeper came from a distance and said respectfully, "Masters, please move to the side hall to have your meal."

"Little uncle, try it and see if it's really delicious."

"Miss, the kitchen made silky chicken soup, crispy pork and rice balls today..."

When Xiao Yichen saw Su Qingtian, a smile appeared on his pale face.

The little miss’s biological mother, Xiao Hongyan, was killed.

The smooth taste made him unable to tell for a moment whether it was chestnuts or the fingertips that accidentally touched the corners of his lips.

"Little uncle, try it. It's delicious."

The eldest brother, Xiao Hanyue, has been familiar with military books since he was a child. He has been able to deploy troops quickly since he was in his teens. He is a general that General Xiao is optimistic about.

It seems that she consumes a lot of physical energy every time. The meals she eats in the afternoon can only temporarily relieve her physical discomfort. If she wants to fully recover, she must have a big meal.

Today's Xiao family has long lost its former glory.

While acting coquettishly, her little hand inadvertently leaned on the inside of Xiao Yichen's wrist and took his pulse at a very short speed.

The warm fingertips and the sweet scent of chestnuts made Xiao Jingmo's originally clear eyes slightly darken.

Su Qingtian grabbed a handful of chestnuts and ran towards the old housekeeper and stuffed them directly into his hand.

Now, suddenly there was a young lady in the Xiao family who knew how to ward off evil spirits. Meng Fang seemed to see the hope raised by the Xiao family, and he was naturally extremely excited.

"Well, I must try it, old slave."

The young man opened his mouth slightly, and the chestnut fell into his mouth.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Qingtian will definitely eat what I bought."

When the three stone lions settled in the Xiao Mansion, they had driven away the evil energy outside the barrier. Everyone in the manor should feel that their bodies were particularly relaxed and smooth from top to bottom, but why was my uncle's body getting weaker and weaker?

Could it be that there is some hidden secret in Xiao Mansion that she has not noticed until now?

The little girl's movements caught Meng Fang's eyes. Seeing that she also noticed the fifth young master's body, Meng Fang couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Meng Fang was slightly startled when he looked at the little girl's expression and eager steps.

"Grandpa Butler, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

The fifth child is Xiao Yichen. His martial arts skills are even better than those of a general. He has won the title of young general in the army and is the most likely candidate to inherit the mantle of a general.

Xiao Hanyue was poisoned and comatose for several years. Xiao Peiyu disappeared after a battle and his whereabouts are still unknown.

"The general hasn't returned to the palace yet?"

Although Xiao Peiyu, the second child, has mediocre martial arts skills, he is very good at reading. When he was at Bailu Academy, he was always the most favored scholar among the masters who could achieve academic status.

Xiao Yichen was the only one sitting in the side hall, and Mr. Xiao was not seen.

The only one who was barely alive was the fifth son, Xiao Yichen, but he was also seriously injured after being plotted and became paralyzed.

The little girl grabbed another one, peeled it open and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks suddenly puffed up like a little hamster, and she smiled with satisfaction.

The old housekeeper looked at the little girl with more and more kindness.

Su Qingtian pulled the sleeve of the old housekeeper and asked coquettishly.

"If Lieutenant General Meng is unable to make it, I will rest in the guest room for the night after dinner. I will discuss matters with my father tomorrow."

Only then did I realize that the young lady must have deliberately said on the street that she was full to save some money.

He stared at Su Qingtian for a moment, just thinking that the little girl showed no sign after checking her pulse and was sitting at the table happily eating dinner, which made Meng Fang a little disappointed.

Therefore, the servants prepared the ingredients directly according to the young lady's preferences.

In order to help General Xiao raise military pay, Xiao Ruofeng traveled around every day and did not return home for three years.

The old man counted one by one, and the little girl's eyes lit up as she hurriedly pulled the old housekeeper towards the side hall.

"Dinner is ready."

The fourth child, Xiao Hongyan, is the only apple of the general's eye. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also knows a little bit about the art of war and martial arts. She is a rare talented woman.

Su Qingtian had a sweet smile on her face, but her heart sank suddenly.

The third child, Xiao Ruofeng, has been a master of abacus since he was a child. He started a business with traveling merchants across the country when he was about fifteen years old, and is also an important source of the Xiao family's money.

Or perhaps Xiao Yichen's leg problem was really difficult to cure, and the young lady didn't think so, so she kept silent.

Thinking of one reason after another, Meng Fang kept convincing himself that the young lady could definitely cure Xiao Yichen.

But no matter how many reasons there are, they can't calm down the chaotic heart.

I finished the dinner in a hurry.

Wow, I reached Chapter 100 before I knew it~~Huhu~~Happy~~
