The next day was a good day. Xuan Zi was very excited, Chen Li was very excited, and the maid who was going out was also very excited. Of course, the most excited one was Su Tang!

Su Kee Pastry Shop! We are coming!

Everyone got on the carriage in batches and went to the place where pastries were made.

When Su Tang and the others were about to set off, Liu Chun happened to enter the mansion.

Seeing Chen Li standing far away, he was worried about his clothes. His eyes became hot again, as he kept winking at her about the clothes. He wanted to come forward but didn’t dare to, he wanted to say something but was blank about what to say. Upon seeing this, Chen Li blushed again and lowered her head, just like a shy water lotus.

This scene was caught by Su Tang, and she began to ponder, and finally screamed, “Vice General Liu, come here!”

When the mistress called him over, Liu Chun ran over to her. With the sun shining on his face, he looked unspeakably vigorous when he asked, “Mistress, you called for me?”

When Su Tang called him over, she had nothing in mind, but when he came up to her, she had a flash of inspiration, and she promptly said, “I forgot a few things, you help me take care of Xuan Zi.” She then turned around—This is your chance to be alone!

Xuan Zi, who was playing jiu-lian-huan1looked up and stared blankly at everyone—what about me? 

The mistress left, Xuan Zi lowered his head and continued to play, then he looked at Chen Li, who was standing beside him with her head bowed, standing in silence. He stood there knowing not what to say. He looked at the sky, then at the ground while sneaking glances at Chen Li here and then, completely at a loss on how to proceed. 

Chen Li felt his gaze and her face reddened once again and lowered her head. In the end, she didn’t know but she somehow mustered her courage to say, “Thank you for the other day.”

“Ah? Oh. It’s okay, huh, huh.” Liu Chun scratched his head and smiled. He wasn’t used to dealing with women at all. It was unnatural to talk about clothes now, without a proper chance. He then pondered for a while and said, “Your clothes are so beautiful.”

It’s too embarrassing to directly ask her to return the clothes, so let’s take a roundabout way. If I talk about clothes, she should remember them!

Chen Li didn’t think much. She thought he didn’t have anything to say, so she blushed, “I’m overwhelmed.”

“Uh, uh,” Liu Chun saw that she did not get his hint and got a bit anxious, “that, my clothes match your colour!”—I said it, she should get it now!

Chen Li’s face was almost completely red—Is he hinting? 

Seeing that his words didn’t have much of an effect on her, he became anxious again and thought of being outright, and started, “Well, when are you …” Then he stopped mid-sentence because he saw Xi Que coming back from the toilet. 

Xi Que was long familiar with this naive Vice General Liu, “Yeah, what are you doing here?”

“It was the mistress who asked me to watch over Xuan Zi,” Liu Chun replied. 

“Miss Chen is here, why do you have to watch over him?”

Liu Chun blinked, “I don’t know!”

Chen Li was in a state of trance—What’s going on with the young madam?

After Xi Que came, Liu Chun could not speak out, so he bid them goodbye and left. Of course, his heart was still itchy, while Chen Li’s eyes were hot. 

Chen Li was also thinking about his unfinished words. When? When what, and what does he want to do?

Along the way, she was a little absent-minded, which was noticed by Su Tang. She (Su Tang) smiled in her heart and remembered what Chen Li had said earlier, there was no one in her heart! I’ll have to find a chance to talk about her answer!

After arriving at the destination, Chen Li and Xuan Zi were inconvenienced and had to stay in the carriage. Su Tang got out of the carriage very sharply, and then went straight into the place where Xiao Mo chose to make pastries.

It was a large yard with eight rooms in the front and back. It was clean and spacious. The original open space was now filled with boiler steamers, coal firewood, and a bag of rice noodles. They were all scattered in piles and some were even placed on the side of a stone mill.

Su Tang was relieved to see Xiao Mo’s orderly command of the people to pack up. Xiao Mo looked at the crowd very smartly and diligently and seemed very happy. Finally, when he saw that they were all working hard, he came to Su Tang and said, “Miss, do you want to go to the store and inspect? I  don’t know if you’re satisfied with the exhibited stuff. Also, Master Zhang said that he has something important to tell you. “

Zhang Yizhi? What has he got to do with me? Su Tang frowned and acceded. 

In the carriage, Chen Li was watching the heat outside without blinking, and Xuan Zi was also lying on the window, watching all this curiously. The two watched Su Tang getting into the carriage, with varying degrees of desire in their eyes—they wanted to go down and go around too!

Of course, Su Tang would not agree. So at the end of the Four Seasons Alley, she ignored the resentful glances of the two, cruelly threw them on the carriage, and changed to men’s clothing.

The originally empty shop was now neatly placed with shelves, brand-new tables and chairs, and a few pieces of antique or novel and interesting decorations, these were inclusive of Su Tang’s Ideas, and of course Xiao Mo’s ideas as well. On the whole, it was clean and elegant, concise and generous. There was a poetic charm to the simplicity—well, due to the few calligraphies and paintings on the wall.

Xiao Mo had sent someone to invite her to show the changes to the store. Su Tang observed the layout of the store while she waited. She came more and more satisfied, the more she looked, even more so when she learned that everything took less than three hundred and twenty taels. She admired Xiao Mo again and again. The store was a dozen times more beautiful than her imagination. 

Xiao Mo, you really are the right person to operate a shop, and a good hand for the house!” Speaking of this, Su Tang remembered another thing. Seeing Xi Que leave for the backyard she lowered her voice and said, “You tell me honestly, did you think about my little Xi Que?”

“Ah!” When Xiao Mo heard her words, his face changed. He then bowed his head and urged, “Miss, I …”

Seeing his reaction, Su Tang understood his reaction, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Look how bashful you are, it’s a normal thing! I’ll talk to Xi Que later, you two are fifteen, almost ready to get married now.”

“Please don’t!” Xiao Mo quickly turned down.

“What?” 

Xiao Mo lowered her head and said, “I … Xi Que… She despises me.”
