Chapter 62
The cookies tasted crispier after they were cooled.
Dang Gui ate one bite at a time with relish.
As she ate, she asked, “Miss, why are these cookies different in appearance?”
Some cookies were square, while others were shaped like hearts.
Yu Niaoniao picked out the small biscuits in the shape of hearts and placed them into a food box padded with oil paper.
She beamed. “These are for giving away.”
Angelica asked curiously, “Is it for Master?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Of course not.”
With Yu Kangtai’s attitude towards her, even if she sent the biscuits over, he would show disdain. He might even scold her for not doing her job and only knowing how to fiddle with these useless things.
She wasn’t going to ask for trouble.
Dang Gui became even more curious. “Then who are you giving it to?”
Yu Niaoniao deliberately kept her in suspense.
“You’ll know tomorrow.”
The next morning, Yu Niaoniao carried the food box and Dang Gui held the donkey. The two of them and the donkey went out again.
The butler was no longer surprised to see the little donkey again.
He walked forward with a wooden face and bowed slightly.
“Miss, someone just sent a letter for you.”
Yu Niaoniao was very surprised to see the letter being handed to her. She didn’t know many people in the capital. Why would anyone send her a letter?
The question was answered when she read the line written on the envelope – The heavens covered the earth.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but smile. “It’s Brother Junzhi.”
Dang Gui asked blankly, “Who is Brother Junzhi?”
“Brother Junzhi is my father’s student.”
Yu Niaoniao paused and explained softly.
“Not my biological father. My mother’s second husband, my stepfather. My stepfather was a very famous scholar in Bashu. Many people were willing to come to him to learn. Brother Junzhi was one of them. He lived with us for three years. By the time I met you, Brother Junzhi had been taken back by his family.”
“So you never met him.”
Dang Gui understood. “I see.”
Yu Niaoniao pointed at the line of words on the surface of the letter. “This is the secret code I agreed to meet with Brother Junzhi. As soon as I see this secret code, I know it’s him.”
Angelica blinked. “It looks like you two are very close.”
Yu Niaoniao nodded vigorously. “That’s right. Brother Junzhi is gentle and considerate, and he’s especially good at taking care of people. Unfortunately, his health isn’t very good and he’s often sick. After being separated for so many years, I wonder if his health is better?”
She eagerly opened the letter and pulled out a thin sheet of paper.
There was only one simple sentence on the paper – At the Joyous Imperial Tea House, see you there.
The handwriting was as gentle as he was.
Yu Qianqian did not know where the Joyous Imperial Tea Shop was, so she could only ask the butler.
The Joyous Imperial Tea House was quite famous in the Imperial Capital. Many scholars liked to go there.
The butler naturally knew where it was and immediately described the location of the tea shop in detail.
Yu Niaoniao thanked him and left the Yu Residence with Dang Gui.
The butler could not help but mutter softly as he watched them leave.
“I remember that Second Miss is going to the Joyous Imperial Tea Shop today. Don’t tell me they would bump into each other?”
He knew that Second Miss had always been dissatisfied with Missy. And Missy was not someone to be trifled with. If these two met, who knew what would happen?
Then, he comforted himself that even if they were not on good terms, they would not fight in front of outsiders.
“It should be fine... right?”
