Kuai Chuan: What to do if you madly criticize beauties who refuse to be cannon fodder

Chapter 493 The Cannon Fodder Vase in the Manipulative Article (6)

When we arrived at the small kitchen, Aunt Zhao, the cook, just came out of the small kitchen wiping her hands, and asked with a smile when she saw Xiao He coming.

"Today's lunch is all the concubine's favorite food, why? Could it be that it's not enough?"

Xiao He remembered Jiang Lai's instructions and followed suit.

"Recently, the concubine's appetite has grown, and your dishes are really not enough..."

"Say it earlier, I'll prepare a few more if it's not enough. There are still pig's trotters and meat in the kitchen."

Xiao He waved her hands again and again.

"You don't need to go to rest after being tired all day. The imperial concubine sent me here specially for you. I can cook all those dishes. You can go to rest."

Both Xiao He and Aunt Zhao came from the Taishi Mansion, and followed Jiang Lai to the Eighth Prince's Mansion as part of his dowry. The two knew each other well, and Aunt Zhao also knew that Xiao He was indeed a good cook.

"That's ok, oh yes, there is a bowl of jujube sugar and japonica rice porridge warming in the pot on the left, which will be sent to His Highness later, please carefully light the fire, so as not to let the firewood go out."

Xiao He couldn't help curling her lips when she heard it.

What the lady eats is meaty fish and meat, but what I eat is meticulous, it is the japonica rice specially given by the emperor, which is a good thing that can't be eaten except for the high-ranking and noble people.

I opened the lid of the pot and saw that there was indeed a bowl of thick porridge inside. Looking at the crystal clear rice grains, I knew how fragrant this bowl of porridge should be just thinking about it.

Xiao He was angry in her heart, and closed the lid dissatisfied.

He turned his head to look for vegetables in the kitchen, only to find that the basket placed in the corner of the small kitchen was full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and besides that, there was a bowl of tightly buttoned oranges.

In such a cold day, you can still see such rare oranges. Who prepared them for them?

Who cares, anyway, the lady said that as long as it is in the small kitchen, it is hers. In this case, the orange must belong to the lady, so I just took it away in a pot.

In addition, Xiao He fried two plates of light side dishes for Jiang Lai, with almost no salt and other seasonings, and they were served after a little water and oil.

In addition to steaming a bowl of eggs.

When Xiao He came over with the dishes, Jiang Lai was already so hungry that his chest was on his belly.

The original owner has long been used to overeating, and at this point in the past, she almost wiped out all the big fish and meat on the table in front of her just now, but now Jiang Lai can only endure silently, waiting for Xiao He to take the new The dishes are served.

"Miss, can you be full with this little food?"

This is even less than eating in Taishi Mansion.

"Miss, after all, the master is also a senior official of the second rank. If he knew that you were tortured in the eighth prince's residence, he would be able to seek justice for you. Why do you torture yourself like this?"

Xiao He looked at the porridge and side dishes in front of her, and felt sorry for the young lady who was torturing herself by doing this.

Jiang Lai looked up at her.

"Eating light food is torturing yourself? Is your lady's life more important than your appetite?"

Xiao He's eyes widened instantly when he heard it.

"Of course the lady's life is important!"

"Then shut up, Aunt Zhao's dishes will still be served in the future, and then you can prepare something else for me."

Xiao He nodded.

Watching Jiang Lai eat the clear soup and little water in front of him mouthful after mouthful, he couldn't help worrying.

Miss must have been hit by something, otherwise why would you torment yourself like this?

A meal with less oil and less salt is tasteless and tasteless. It is indeed as delicious as the meaty fish with heavy oil and salt.

But Jiang Lai knows that everything that makes you enjoy sinking is a trap, and the uphill road is always the most difficult.

Fortunately, she is used to walking uphill.

Still hungry after eating, Jiang Lai pursed her lips and didn't want to talk, she knew that hunger was just a test that the body had to go through in the process of adaptation.

What she ate today was enough for the nutrients she needed for a day, if she ate any more, it would turn into meat.

But people cannot be in a good mood if they don't have enough to eat, so when Jiang Lai sat on the dining table again, facing the expressionless Chu Yunxuan, his hands for holding the chopsticks were a little tight.

"Just now Chunniang came to me and cried, saying that you underpaid her five taels of money this month, what's going on?"

While eating, Chu Yunxuan started to ask questions like a leader. Others looked like he was interrogating a prisoner, and his tone was emotionless.

Jiang Lai was silently poking at the plate of green vegetables in front of him. Hearing what Chu Yunxuan said, he raised his eyes to look at him.

"Madam in the backyard, each person pays ten taels a month, and a total of 70 taels will be paid. I have already paid all of them at the beginning of the month. I can still calculate this amount."

"What do you mean, Chunniang is making trouble for no reason, and deliberately troubled you after taking the money?"

"Yes."

Jiang Lai nodded with a look of course.

"Your Highness, it's only twelve months' money for one person, if I pay less than five taels, I'm not asking for trouble.

Chunniang went to the streets six times this month and bought three sets of clothes. If I gave her less money, where would she get the money to buy these clothes? "

Just as Chu Yunxuan was about to say something, Jiang Lai continued to speak slowly.

"Chun Niang buys it every month, and if she can't save enough money, it's impossible for her natal family to support her with so many older brothers and younger brothers.

So you should ask Chunniang, not me. Ask her how she bought so many clothes for five taels of silver, and where did she get the money for all the makeup and powder she buys every month.

Your Highness, the court affairs are so heavy that she even bothers you about the few taels of silver in the backyard. I know you are also angry with her for being ignorant. Don't worry, I will teach her a lesson later. "

After talking on the phone, Chu Yunxuan said everything he wanted to say or didn't want to say, and in the end it was attributed to Chunniang's extravagance and ignorance.

Chu Yunxuan stared at her sullenly for a long time, then Jiang Lai yawned sleepily.

"Your Highness, I've been very sleepy lately, why don't I find an imperial physician to recuperate my body."

"Isn't there a female doctor in the mansion, why do you need an imperial doctor?"

"Is the female doctor reliable? My father always asks the imperial doctor to return to his home to treat me."

Chu Yunxuan frowned displeased.

"Since you're married, don't act like a lady. The doctor Zhao's medical skills are beyond the reach of anyone in the Tai Hospital. It's more than enough to treat you."

Jiang Lai's goal was achieved.

"All right, let her show me this afternoon."

After dinner, Jiang Lai lay down in the yard to sleep and bask in the sun.

At this time Xiaohe came in to report.

"Miss, Mrs. Chun is here."

Jiang Lai squinted his eyes half asleep and half awake, and nodded slightly.

"Let her in."

After a while, a woman in a red cloak and pink beaded flowers came in shaking her body.

Seeing Jiang Lai, he just saluted perfunctorily, and then asked impatiently.

"Why did my sister call me here?"

Jiang Lai waved.

"Come on, sit down first, Xiao He serves tea."

Chun Niang didn't take it seriously, she sat down while supporting the maidservant's hand.

"What's wrong with my sister? Why don't you go to bed and talk to your sister?"

"Well, His Highness just came to see me."

When Chunniang heard this, she understood clearly.
