Shen Qiu also wanted to scoop some soup for himself, but Gu Yu and the others refused to give it to him. Shen Qiu also sensed something and guessed that Shen Miao was probably angry with him, but he did not know what he did wrong. He could only look at Shen Miao. pitifully When everyone was almost done drinking, Shen Miao asked Bai Lu to take out a bowl from the bottom of the basket and said, “You like it sweet. This bowl is added with honey. Drink it.”
“Sister, you’re the best!” Shen Qiu was overjoyed. He snatched it and drank the soup in big mouthfuls.
When the soldiers received the soup made by Shen Miao, they were half touched and half delighted. They flattered Shen Miao, feeling that Shen Miao did not have the temperament of a high and mighty rich miss. She was approachable and beautiful.
Shen Miao was surrounded by soldiers, and Jing Chuchu was completely neglected. There were a few times when she wanted to leave, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and stayed.
When everyone went to practice swordsmanship again, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan also joined them. Shen Qiu sat on the stone stool to rest. Only then did Shen Miao walk to Jing Chuchu and say with a smile, “Cousin, the snacks you made are not bad. However, what they need is something that can quench their thirst. Isn’t the snack going to make them more thirsty?” Shen Miao smiled and said, “Next time, make soup instead.”
Jing Chuchu’s face was pale. Although she was angry, Jing Chuchu still lowered her head in a panic, as if she was very afraid. “Thank you for your advice, Cousin.” With that, she looked at Shen Qiu, hoping that he would help her out.
Unfortunately, Shen Qiu was a complete blockhead when it came to understanding women. When he met Jing Chuchu’s gaze, he felt puzzled. Shen Miao, on the other hand, smiled and said, “Brother, didn’t you want to eat my cousin’s snacks just now? Eat some.”
“Ahem.” Shen Qiu waved his hand. “I drank a bowl of soup just now and am a little full. I can’t eat anymore. I’ll eat it later.”
Shen Miao was very satisfied. The bowl of soup given to Shen Qiu was especially big. She did not believe that Shen Qiu would still have the stomach to eat Jing Chuchu’s snacks after having such a big bowl, unless Shen Qiu was a pig.
Jing Chuchu was a little disappointed. Shen Qiu stood up and said, “I’ll go and practice too.” Then, he walked away.
Looking at Shen Qiu’s departing figure, Jing Chuchu was a little indignant. She wanted to say something, but she could only bite her lip and watch him leave. Shen Miao smiled and patted her hand. “I’m afraid your snacks won’t taste good when they’re cold. If you don’t mind, you can send them to Second Brother.”
“Second Brother?” Jing Chuchu looked at Shen Miao in confusion.
“That’s right.” Shen Miao smiled. “My brother used to live in the bitter cold land of the Northwest all year round. He can’t appreciate these exquisite snacks, but my second brother is different. He is already an official at such a young age and is now working in the court. His future is limitless.” Shen Miao shook her head and sighed. “Unfortunately, there’s no one by his side to take care of him. Men are a fool when it comes to taking care of themselves. Cousin, this snack you made might suit his taste.”
When Jing Chuchu heard this, she was a little uncertain. Shen Miao smiled and continued, “Maybe in the future, if Second Brother is married, his wife will prepare food for him. I wonder which girl will be so lucky to be my second sister-in-law. Cousin, you might not know this, but my second brother is the sweetheart of many young ladies in the capital.”
“Second Young Master…” Jing Chuchu hesitated for a moment and asked, “Doesn’t he have a girl he likes?”
