Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

Su Yuan raised her hand without hesitation, and knocked on Mrs. Xu's door.

The noise in the house stopped abruptly.

After a while, Mrs. Xu asked hoarsely, "Who?"

Su Yuan: "It's me, is Madam asleep yet?"

After a rustling sound, Mrs. Xu opened the door.She didn't turn on the lamp, maybe it was on purpose, after all she cried so hard just now, if the lamp was turned on, her eyes that had just cried would be obvious.

"What happened to Madam?" Under the moonlight, Su Yuan could probably see the outline of Madam Xu's cheek, "I heard crying in Madam's room just now."

Mrs. Xu's body was visibly stiff, she seemed to regain her composure after hesitating twice, she laughed suddenly, and said to Su Yuan pretending to be relaxed: "What can I do if I am alone in the room, I was just trapped by a nightmare Thankfully, you woke me up. What do you want me for? Didn’t you go to eat meat with Guard Zhan and the others today? Why didn’t you eat enough and came here to ask the aunt for it?”

"The place where the meat is eaten is dead." Su Yuan's voice became weaker and weaker, and she kept staring at Mrs. Xu's face quietly through the night.

Su Yuan clearly shouldn't be able to see her face clearly, but Mrs. Xu didn't know why she always had the illusion of being seen through by Su Yuan, her spine felt cold, and her heart became more and more flustered.

Mrs. Xu's reaction disappointed Su Yuan.When normal people hear her saying that someone is dead, they will ask the reason and what happened with concern.But Su Yuan waited for a long time, but still did not see Mrs. Xu asking this question. It can be seen that she was very nervous and panicked at the moment, and she was preoccupied with other things, so she didn't bother to ask these questions.

"I'm here to share the money with my aunt." Su Yuan took out the 100 taels of silver notes, "I met a nobleman today who gave me 100 taels of silver notes, so I thought about sharing half with my aunt. , then I will give it all to the aunt."

Su Yuan smiled and handed the banknote to Mrs. Xu.

In fact, Mrs. Xu couldn't see the amount on the bank note clearly, but she still looked in the direction of the bank note and remained silent for a moment. When she spoke again, her voice was hoarse than before.

"Good boy, I'm satisfied if you have such a heart! This is the money you made by yourself, how can you ask for it. Besides, I don't have much money to spend, so you can take it." Mrs. Xu said in the end. A little choked up, obviously she was moved by Su Yuan's behavior of giving money.

Seeing her refusal, Su Yuan only responded obediently, but his eyes completely turned cold under the dark night.She then forced the 100 taels of silver bills into Mrs. Xu's hands.

"Then I should thank my aunt for taking care of me all these years."

"This—" Mrs. Xu wanted to decline, but she really didn't have time to continue to argue with Su Yuan right now, so she had to accept the money and told Su Yuan to go back to bed early, "Mother will make chicken wontons for you tomorrow morning." .”

After all, without waiting for Su Yuan's response, Mrs. Xu immediately closed the door.

Just now Mrs. Xu didn't want money, which meant that the problem of "saving life" faced by her "son" had nothing to do with money.

It seems that she must marry the son of Zhang Butcher's family, so that Mrs. Xu's "son" can survive.Su Yuan still couldn't figure out the causal relationship, but through Mrs. Xu's overall attitude, Su Yuan had already predicted the final result.

Mrs. Xu has treated her sincerely all these years, Su Yuan can still tell this clearly.But sometimes good and evil are just in the mind of a person. Su Yuan has experienced too many situations where teammates who used to fight side by side in the team turned and rebelled. One moment he said that brothers and sisters are as good as one person, but the next moment he will In order to steal your newly acquired skills, they will mercilessly push you into the pile of zombies.

The care Mrs. Xu gave her in the past was not enough to make Su Yuan pay for the rest of his life or his life. If the 100 taels were only used for meals, it would be enough for a family of four to live a lifetime of prosperity in this world.What's more, she had left room just now, and didn't directly expose Mrs. Xu's ugliness.

Grace has been repaid, no more owed.

……

Early the next morning, Su Yuan sent the freshly boiled yam and red date porridge to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng is frugal and doesn't like extravagance.He always eats only for a simple and full stomach. The usual breakfast is a bowl of porridge and a pancake, or staple food such as soup pancakes and wontons, and two refreshing side dishes, such as today's mustard greens and yellow sprouts in sauce. vegetable.

When he was seated, Bao Zheng didn't feel that today's breakfast was any different from the past.He took a bite of the pancake first, and when he drank the porridge, his expression gradually changed.But it's not so obvious, after all, he has a dark face.

Bao Zheng continued to drink the second mouthful of porridge. This mouthful took longer than the first mouthful, and then he took the third, fourth, and fifth mouthfuls without hesitation...

When the bowl of porridge bottomed out, the pancakes were still in the state of just one bite, and the two side dishes on the table remained unchanged.

Why is the taste of this porridge different from the past?In the past, the jujube flavor of porridge only stayed in the soup, but this bowl has the same fragrance as soup and rice. Every grain of rice seems to be wrapped in jujube pulp, soft and fragrant, and yam cut into cubes It tastes sweet and crisp.A simple spoonful of porridge has a plump and mellow taste, which immediately wakes up people's sleepy appetite in the morning.

Such a bowl of yam and red date porridge made him want to eat it so much that no one would believe him if he told it.

After Bao Zheng put down the bowl, he noticed Su Yuan and thought of Gongsun Ce.Sir, this is telling him with the facts that it is not because he, Gongsun Ce, has a short mouth to eat others, but that Su Yuan is good at cooking, and the delicious food is irresistible.

"How did you learn this skill?" Bao Zheng asked Su Yuan.

Su Yuan smiled while cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks: "What kind of craft is this? It's just making bowls of porridge. People like Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun, and Mr. Zhan are amazing. They defend the people, punish evil and promote good. Not one or two."

Hearing what she said, Bao Zheng knew that she was eager to learn and make progress, "You can do it too. Isn't this worshiping Mr. Gongsun as a teacher?"

"Well, I will work hard." Su Yuan immediately assured Bao Zheng happily.

Bao Zheng also smiled happily, gratified that although this child is young, he has great ambitions.But after Su Yuan left, Bao Zheng suddenly remembered that Su Yuan hadn't answered his question yet.How did she learn how to cook well?I'm afraid it won't work just relying on Mrs. Xu, the difference between Mrs. Xu's skills and hers is too big.

This child grew up in Kaifeng Mansion, and everyone knew her roots very well.After thinking about it, there is probably only one explanation, high talent and excellent comprehension, so you can learn without a teacher.Although this situation is rare, it is not uncommon.For example, there is a child prodigy. A six-year-old child is still reciting the three-character scriptures with tears in his eyes. The child prodigy has already read the Four Books and Five Classics and can recite poems and compose Fu.

Su Yuan knows that talking to smart people doesn't take too much time, and if she doesn't answer some questions, she will show less flaws, and let those smart people figure it out on their own to find the answers.

When Su Yuan returned to the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks, she saw Mrs. Xu immediately put down the work in her hands and walked straight towards her.

Su Yuan put the bowls and chopsticks into the basin, planning to wash them.

"I have something to tell you."

"I'll find my aunt when I'm done." Su Yuan scooped up a ladle of water and poured it into the basin.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly grabbed Su Yuan, put down the ladle in her hand, and dragged her to the back of the room to talk.

"I have taken care of you for so many years, so I deserve your elders. Butcher Zhang's family is very good. They promised me that when you marry me, they will never let you do hard work, and they will guarantee that you will have meat every meal for the rest of your life. "

After talking, Mrs. Xu looked around, then took out a slip from her bosom and handed it to Su Yuan.

"Such a good marriage will be gone if you delay it, so I decided to accept Zhang Butcher's marriage for you. This is the dowry list, please take a look."
