Chapter 208 Aunt

"Sister, I don't remember anything. Tell me about my father, mother and brother." Li Qiniang said.

Zhou Dada looked at Li Qiniang's facial features that seemed to be replicated with him and said softly: "At that time, we were all children and didn't know what my father was outside, but he was a very funny father in front of us. Once, my mother took me to a wedding banquet, and my father gave the chef a holiday and wanted to cook for my elder brother. But he cooked the kitchen... After my mother took me back home, my elder brother stood up and said that he cooked the kitchen. My father pushed my elder brother away and said that he was a hero who did things."

When Zhou Dadada said this, he couldn't help laughing, and tears burst out with laughter.

Li Qiniang reached out to wipe away her tears. Zhou Dada continued to say unconsciously: "...My mother is good at cooking. Any dish she has eaten can be made accordingly, and it looks like it is made. When my mother was pregnant with you, she was seven or eight months old and had to cook in person. The cook at home was frightened, but she smiled and said, "The little baby in my belly smells the fireworks in my mother's womb, and she might be a chef."

Tears poured out like a tide, and the two sisters reached out and wiped away the tears for each other with a smile. They were laughing, but they were crying.

Who would have thought that the daughter of a noble family actually became a chef?

The jokes from the past came true.

"No wonder, my adoptive father said that I am very talented in cooking. It turns out that I followed my mother to cook when I was in my mother's womb." Li Qiniang said with a smile.

Zhou Dadada also laughed: "My cooking skills are good, but I definitely can't compare to you. They are all wild ways. I still have a good tongue. I will know whether it is good or not."

Li Qiniang remembered that Fan Wubing had arrived, and Fan Wubing once said that the first meal he made for Zhou Dading was despised as inauthentic.

"Then I will cook for you tomorrow, and you can try my skills."

"Okay," Zhou Dada agreed happily. She thought for a while and asked again, "Aqi, I came here this time, first of all, I want to accept you personally, and secondly, I want to ask you, are you willing to return to the old Beijing?"

Li Qiniang was stunned: "Where are you? Are you in the old Beijing on weekdays?"

"I have a house in the old capital, and I will go back occasionally. To be honest, if you do our job, there will be a house everywhere, but there is no place to live." said Zhou Dadada.

Li Qiniang remembered the restaurant in the old Beijing. She moved slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to discuss with Sister Huai. If she wants to leave, I will follow you."

"Okay!" Zhou Dada agreed readily and said, "If you don't want to leave now, that's fine. As long as the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor do not act in evil, there will be at least one or two years of peace in the new capital. Even if that day really comes, we are not afraid. I will leave a few people in the new capital, and with Mr. Yan's people, they can always protect your safety."

Li Qiniang nodded: "I'm not the only sister Huai'er now, I have Li Shiji. There are seven or eight people following me. It's okay if there are families and careers among them. I'm going to take her with me, and Xiaoman, whom I just adopted, is still a child. But I know that you have taken the risk this time. When you go back, you will not only be unable to protect yourself, but also drag you down.

Sister, I’m not afraid of you saying I’m not going to be successful. I really can’t bear to let Sister Huai take the risk with us, and Ying'er and Xiaoman.”

Zhou Dada patted her hand and said with a smile: "You are right. My mother sent us siblings away, but she didn't want us to take risks with them. Now we have finally reunited. What reason do I have to let my children take risks with us? It's not a year or two, but now I know that your safety is more important than anything else.

In fact, when you really arrive in the old capital, you may not see me a few times. I have only stayed in the old capital's house for one night in total."

Speaking of this, Zhou Dadajia smiled and said, "Yes, I don't have a house in Xinjing, but I can buy a house and have a place to stay in the future."

The head of Zhou Da asked Li Qiniang to call Yan Xuehuai in. After Yan Xuehuai entered the house, he looked at the two people with red eyes and called sweetly: "Auntie."

Zhou Dada took off a hairpin from his head and handed it to Yan Xuehuai: "My aunt is from the Jianghu and doesn't have any jade bracelets and pendants with her. Just treat this as a gift for the meeting."

Yan Xuehuai thanked repeatedly, and saw that the hairpin was not as color as gold and silver, but like copper?

She was slightly surprised and took it with a smile, but saw that the hairpin was actually in the shape of a feather arrow, with a pointed end, and it turned out to be a small bronze arrow.

Yan Xuehuai turned the bronze arrow over and saw three simple seal characters engraved behind him... At first glance, he didn't recognize any of them.

"River Order?" Yan Xuehuai asked tentatively. This was what she guessed with Meng and Meng, based on her identity as the head of Zhou.

Zhou Dadajia smiled and nodded, saying, "Your mother will definitely not accept it, I will give it to you."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Qiniang said, "Sister, I can't give this to her. She's lost it. What if I lose it?"

The head of Zhou Dajun blinked at Yan Xuehuai: "Look, I'm right, don't let this name scare you. This thing is actually not very useful, that is, it can second ships at various canal terminals, and at most five ships can be seconded at a time. If you want more ships, you must have my handwritten order."

After saying that, Zhou Dada said to Li Qiniang again: "I feel relieved now. This hairpin cannot borrow money or transfer a large number of people. At most, it can only allow you to escape by boat."

Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yan Xuehuai: "Then you have to put it away."

Yan Xuehuai thanked Zhou Dazhu again and inserted the hairpin on her head. Li Qiniang wanted to say be careful, this hairpin is too sharp, it seems not to be stuck to the scalp, and she is afraid that her sister will laugh at her for being long-winded, so she swallowed the words she said.

Seeing her look of her desire to speak, she felt sad. Aqi was more like a mother than her, and even these small expressions were exactly the same.

Zhou Dading did not stay in the house, so she left time for the mother and daughter to discuss. Chai Yan accompanied her and walked to the door and said to Li Qiniang: "Don't worry, aunt, I promise to send my aunt back safely."

The head of Zhou Dajia looked at him. When he came, he was still the head of Zhou Dajia. When he went back, he became an "aunt"?

When they left, Yan Xuehuai pulled Li Qiniang into her room and straight to the point: "Mom, did you let us go south with you?"
