After Jin Se and the others gave the Plum Blossom to Mrs. Xue, they slowly walked into the courtyard. Seeing Xiao Muzhi pacing back and forth at the entrance, Jin Se walked up to him with a smile, ”Adjutant Xiao.”
She looked at the osmanthus cake in Xiao Muzhi's hand and understood what was going on.
Oh, Miss Jin Se is finally back! The osmanthus cake is already cold, why don't you go to the kitchen and heat it up? ”
Xiao Muzhi said as he handed over the osmanthus cake with both hands. Li Luo then handed over the osmanthus cake with one hand.
”No need, it's good to eat when you're cold. Don't have a taste.”
When Jin Se was at the Suzhou, she had also eaten like this. She looked at Xiao Muzhi, but the expression on her face still remained unmoving as she first expressed her gratitude, ”Thank you Adjutant Xiao, you must have waited here for a long time.”
”Not long after, this was specially brought here from Green Willow House. This thing is very authentic, as long as Miss Jin Se is happy eating it.”
After Xiao Muzhi finished speaking, he did not have any intention to leave. Jin Se politely greeted the Adjutant Xiao, ”How about, Adjutant Xiao comes over for a drink of hot tea before leaving?”
”No need, no need! There are still official documents in Second Young Master that I have to take care of, so I have to hurry back first. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Muzhi started to rummage in his pockets again, and finally took out a hairpin. Jin Se took a look, and sure enough, it was the hairpin that she had thrown away before.
”I presume this hairpin belongs to the young mistress. Today, the hairpin shall belong to its rightful owner.”
Xiao Muzhi once again placed the hairpin into Jin Se's hands. He added another sentence, it was rather sudden, but to Jin Se, it was a bit ambiguous, ”This hairpin looks the best on your head!”
Jin Se lowered her head, she knew that the battle between the two parties was getting more and more intense. Although she did not understand much about politics, she understood that the current situation was very sensitive and she could not easily trust others.
Moreover, the battles between different parties are very complicated, and only a woman could understand it, so Jin Se replied cleverly, ”This hairpin is the best! ”That's why it looks good. Whoever brings it looks good …”
After saying that, Xiao Muzhi no longer stayed.
”In that case, this official shall take his leave …”
”Adjutant, take care!”
Jin Se sent Xiao Muzhi off with his head bowed, then hurriedly opened the door and entered.
”Lady! What does Adjutant Xiao mean by this!? ”
Li Luo casually placed the cherry blossoms she picked into a vase. She did not understand how such a serious person like Xiao Muzhi would normally look like someone who would not compliment others, and even praised their Young Miss's looks today.
”It's nothing. I just wanted to return the hairpin, so I said something.”
Jin Se did not tell Li Luo the truth, so Li Luo did not continue to guess. She did not really know how to guess people's hearts, so when Jin Se told her everything, Li Luo would know.
”There's a lot left.”
The flower bottles had already been filled to the brim with flowers, leaving Li Luo with a huge lump in her hand, she was feeling troubled.
”Didn't you say to send some over to Third Elder Sister? That's just enough for a vase. ” Jin Se reached out to catch the cherry blossoms, but it was still blooming fresh, so Jin Se couldn't bear to throw it away.
”Go and bring me the flower vase, I'll put the flowers in.”
Jin Se was suddenly interested, she was prepared to gift it to Qi Zhen after dressing up the vase.
”Sigh!”
When they had first moved to the Yunmeng, their aunt and wife had prepared many furniture for her and even some famous antiques that she didn't want to use up. Because in Mrs. Xue, there was only Jin Se, her niece, who was doted on like her own daughter.
