Da Fujin was not at all happy to take Wu Yagege with him, but the elder brother had already spoken, so she had no choice but to agree with a sullen face, and sent someone to send a post to Si Fujin first.
After Si Fujin received it, she was still puzzled, after all, the relationship between the fourth elder brother and the eldest elder brother was very ordinary, why did Da Fujin come to visit suddenly?
She told the fourth elder brother that the latter was also puzzled, but since everyone sent posts to their door, they had to treat them well.
Brother Si doesn't need to worry about this matter, Fujin can just come by himself.
The next day, when Da Fujin and Wu Yagege came over in a carriage, Nanny Liao was already waiting at the door, leading the two of them inside.
Da Fujin saw that Sibeile's mansion was naturally not as big as eldest brother's Zhijun Wang's mansion, because there were not many people in the backyard, but it was comfortable and comfortable to live in.
She thought of the group of Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard of the elder brother, and she felt uncomfortable.
The elder brother always wanted a son, so Da Fujin worked hard to have a son, and then gave birth to several daughters in succession.
Every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the face of the elder brother will become more and more ugly when he comes over, it is extremely reluctant.
However, the son-in-law can only come out of Da Fujin's belly, and the elder brother can only come more even if he is unhappy in his heart.
Da Fujin was even more unhappy when he saw his face, and he didn't bother to talk to the big brother. He was not as gentle and pleasant as before. The big brother naturally began to prefer those sweet-talking and coaxing princesses in the backyard.
Wu Yagege is the best among them. He is good-looking, has a nice voice, and is especially good at talking, coaxing the big brother to go around, otherwise the big brother would not open his mouth and let Da Fujin bring this Gege over.
It was too cold outside in winter, so Sifujin invited Dafujin to the house, and Youdilong was also warm, so he greeted him from a distance and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is here, who is this?"
Da Fujin's face was calm, and he introduced casually: "This is Wu Yagege. She heard that Geng Gege cooks good dishes and can make Yurong ointment. She wanted to see it, so she followed her."
Si Fujin was taken aback, Wu Yagege smiled and saluted and said: "As Da Fujin said, I heard that Geng Gege is very powerful, and I really want to get to know him, so please Si Fujin introduce me."
Hearing this, Si Fujin had no choice but to let Nanny Liao take Wu Yagege to Geng Yi's side, and entertain Da Fujin herself.
Geng Yi knew that Wu Yagege was going to come over, so he was completely inexplicable. After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Yagege did not exist in his memory at all. He probably didn't know him, so why did he suddenly come over to get to know himself?
But everyone was coming to the door, so Geng Yi still asked Ruyu to go to the kitchen to order some snacks, and then asked Madam Hu to make tea, as a way to treat Wu Yagege well as a landlord.
Wu Yagege is petite, looks like Xiaojiabiyu, wearing an indigo dress and a moon-white cloak, when he came in, he smiled first: "I take the liberty to come to visit, please Genggemo mind."
Everyone was here, Geng Yi couldn't care less, so he first asked Wu Yagege to take off his cape, and then sat down.
The red date cake was delivered from the kitchen. It is made into a bite size, so it is not easy to get rid of the mouth fat.
Wu Yagege looked very novel, picked up a piece and ate it, one mouthful was just right, the red date cake was still sweet, it would be perfect to drink with tea: "Geng Gege is really dexterous, and he is very good at living, let me just look at it Envious."
Geng Yi smiled modestly: "Where, it's Fourth Master and Fujin who are kind and treat everyone in the house very well."
It is true that no one in the backyard will skimp on food and clothing, as long as they do not make excessive demands, they will be satisfied.
Wu Yagege enviously said: "That's great, although I'm still favored in the house, but there are many things I can't eat and use."
Geng Yi didn't want to answer these words, because Gege's identities did not follow the rules to eat and use many things.Why, Wu Yagege is envious of what Da Fujin eats, and wants a copy?
Even if the elder brother agrees, he will be able to read dozens of books by the censor when he turns back!
Seeing that Geng Yi didn't answer, Wu Yagege smiled and said: "I was rude, I didn't make sense of what I said. The fourth brother gave our master Yurong ointment before, but he didn't like to use it, so he gave it to Fujin . Fujin has become much more attractive after employing people, but the number is not large, and the master promised to give them all to Fujin from the beginning, so I can only be greedy."
"So I took the liberty to come to the door today, hoping that sister Geng could help me do something."
She directly stuffed a purse over, which contained two bank notes, and the amount was not small.
Geng Yi couldn't help being surprised, it seemed that Wu Yagege was indeed favored by the elder brother, and it was refreshing enough to give money.
She didn't rush to agree, but said vaguely: "I have to ask Fourth Master and Fujin about this before I can decide."
After all, the gift was given by the fourth elder brother. It is the elder brother's business to resell the gift to whom, and it has nothing to do with him.
Wu Yagege wanted to buy it for money, but Da Fujin used it in the backyard, and now she wants to use Gege, if it is suitable, Geng Yi has to ask Si Age and Si Fujin.
Hearing this, Wu Yagege took a look at Geng Yi, and felt that this Geng Gege was not as favored as he imagined, and he was very timid, so he still smiled and said: "This is what it should be, then I will wait for Sister Geng." Good news. There is no need to return this purse, if not, it can be regarded as a gift from me to my sister."
Geng Yi didn't want to take it back, but Wu Yagege didn't intend to take it back, and the atmosphere became stalemate for a while.
Dafujin and Sifujin over there also talked about their intentions, wanting more tasteless Yurong ointment.
Si Fujin couldn't help being surprised and said: "Geng Gege asked someone to make it. It's not troublesome to do it, but some materials need to be collected. I'll have someone send it to my sister-in-law after a while."
It's just that the several jars of Yurong ointment given to the elder brother before, he heard that all of them were given to Da Fujin. Could it be that she has used up all of them?
Si Fujin euphemistically reminded: "Sister-in-law, you can't keep this Yurong ointment for too long, the sooner you use it up, the better. Later, when sister-in-law is about to run out, send someone to tell me in advance, and I'll make it ready and send it over. "
Da Fujin looked embarrassed, and explained with some embarrassment: "The child is still young, and scented ones are not suitable for use. I wiped my hands and feet and felt good. Then I started to wipe my face. The original dark yellow on my face gradually became paler. It became clearer, so I wiped some on my body, and it used up quickly."
Sifujin was speechless, Dafujin wiped it all over his body, probably a lot each time, no wonder it was used quickly!
After half a month, no matter how much Yurong ointment is, it will almost be used up!
No wonder Da Fujin would come to the door in person, after all, Si Fujin thought she would never visit Geng Yi because of his attitude towards Geng Yi.Now if you want to ask for Yurong ointment, you have to come.
No matter how thick-skinned Da Fujin was, he was still a little embarrassed: "I offended Geng Gege a lot before, and it was also because those in my backyard were really bad, and they were all spoiled by big brother, which made me so angry that I thought this Geng Gege was the same as them, and couldn't help but say a few more words that didn't distract him."
It was difficult for her to have a good impression of Ge Ge in the backyard, especially the arrogant appearance of those big elder brothers, so when she saw Geng Yi, she also thought that Geng Yi was like this, and she was very unwilling to go with him up.
Da Fujin not only talked about it, but also specially brought an apology. The gift he gave was quite thoughtful. He knew that Geng Yi was good at painting and liked Western painting, so he sent a set of Western brushes and paints.
These are all imported products, the price is not low, only imported products stores have them, and they are delivered from thousands of miles. You can have them if you have money, and it is not so easy to buy them.
There is also a box of bird's nest and a small box of thumb-sized pearls, all of which are of good quality.
Since Da Fujin came, of course he also brought gifts to Si Fujin, which were a box of cloth, two boxes of bird's nest and a pair of jewelry.
Si Fujin touched the material and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, isn't this Lingyun satin?"
Da Fujin nodded with a smile: "The fourth younger siblings have discernment, and you can spot it at a glance."
The satin surface of Lingyun satin is extremely smooth and thin, and the lines on it are very smooth. It looks beautiful on the surface, but is extremely smooth on the inside. It is most suitable for making clothes for children and will not hurt their immature skin.
This fabric requires hundreds of processes, and the output is very small, only in the south of the Yangtze River.Da Fujin probably got it after spending a lot of money, so she wanted to make clothes for her daughter, so she also spared a box to give Si Fujin as a gift.
This was obviously a gift for Honghui, and the mother-in-law naturally thought of her own children, and the smile on Sifujin's lips deepened: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I will accept it for Honghui."
There was also a pair of jadeite bracelets with good water in the other brocade box, and Da Fujin put them on directly for Si Fujin: "I see that the water is good and the color is good, and it is most suitable for the fourth younger brother and sister. It really is so."
She was quite generous, and the gift she gave was quite expensive, and Si Fujin was a little embarrassed to accept it.
Da Fujin laughed and said, "I will have to bother my fourth sibling and Geng Gege from now on, these gifts are nothing."
Si Fujin said: "I don't know if there are any new ones made by Geng Gege. After all, these things have not been stored for a long time, and they usually start to make them when they are going to be given away."
After hearing this, Da Fujin said: "That's fine, when the fourth sibling is ready, send someone to tell me, and I'll send someone to come and pick it up."
Si Fujin felt strange when he heard it and said: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. If it's done, I'll just send someone to send it to my sister-in-law."
Da Fujin waved his hand and said, "Farewell, when those little vixens in the backyard saw that they wanted it, Big Brother has to lose his temper with me again."
It's hard for Si Fujin to answer these words, and Geng Yi and Wu Yagege are still in a stalemate.
Fortunately, Nanny Hu was clever, and when she saw something was wrong, she hurriedly went to Nanny Liao to see if Si Fujin could give her advice.
As soon as Nanny Liao heard this, she hurried to report to Si Fujin. When she saw Da Fujin, she was ashamed to say to her face that the character in the backyard was not good.
Seeing Nanny Liao's expression, Da Fujin raised his eyebrows and said, "Wu Yagege is behind to make things difficult for Geng Gege? Fourth brother and sister, let someone guide me, and I'll just take them away, so that Geng Gege won't be in a dilemma. "
She just wanted Geng Yi to make more Yurong ointment for herself, wishing to have this opportunity to help out, so as to ease the embarrassment of last time, grab Nanny Liao and let her lead the way, and hurriedly went to the backyard.
Si Fujin had no choice but to follow behind, almost missing Da Fujin.
Geng Yi was wondering how to break the silence and continue to refuse, when Da Fujin rushed in like a whirlwind, and immediately understood when he saw the purse on the table: "Wu Yagege, we should go back."
Wu Yagege was somewhat reluctant, she hadn't asked Geng Yi to agree to buy Yurong Ointment!
"Fujin wait a moment, my concubine wants to ask Geng Gege to help make a few jars of Yurong ointment to take back. But Geng Gege said that he wanted to ask Si Fujin what he meant, what do Si Fujin think?"
The next four Fujin just arrived, when they heard Wu Yagege's words, they were startled for a moment, not knowing how to answer, this Wu Yagege asked too directly, right?
Before Si Fujin could reply, Da Fujin said: "When I saw Geng Gege, I just didn't like it, why are you still dawdling here to embarrass others! Hurry up, don't be ashamed, if you don't leave, you will have to leave later gone back."
Wu Yage was taken aback for a moment, Da Fujin could really do the thing of leaving her and riding a carriage home alone.
Even if she turned around and complained to the big brother, and the big brother went to find trouble with Da Fujin, so what if the two had a big fight, she was the one who suffered, so she couldn't really go back?
The two houses are not close to each other, so it's not appropriate to let Sibeile's sedan chair take her back, and Wu Yagege is not happy to hire a sedan chair outside who knows who has been in it, so I can only really walk back!
Da Fujin restrained Wu Yagege, then nodded to Geng Yi and said: "Troublesome, Gege."
She said to Si Fujin behind her: "Fourth brother and sister, I'll go back first and wait for your good news."
After finishing speaking, Da Fujin took Wu Yagege and left in a hurry.
Even Sifujin didn't have time to get up to see him off, so Dafujin waved his hand from a distance and said, "Fourth siblings stay here..."
She left like a gust of wind, Sifujin stood there speechless, what's the matter!
Si Fujin turned his head and ordered Nanny Liao to bring over the gift that Da Fujin had given to Geng Yi, and Geng Yi was dumbfounded.
The last time Da Fujin almost rolled his eyes towards her, why was he suddenly so polite and sent so many gifts?
After Si Fujin explained, Geng Yi realized that Da Fujin was asking for Yurong Ointment, and he also apologized for misunderstanding her last time, and what he sent was an apology.
Si Fujin briefly talked about the big brother's backyard, and said: "We can't criticize the big brother in private, but the backyard is more complicated because of the large number of people."
She spoke vaguely, but Geng Yi actually understood.
It is obvious that the elder brother wants to have a son before the prince, and surpass the prince. Although Da Fujin is pregnant before the princess, but Da Fujin has given birth to several daughters in a row, so he gradually becomes indifferent to her.
Apart from going to Dafujin's courtyard, he hangs out with Princesses, concubines and maidservants.
The elder brother didn't give Da Fujin face, and the favored princesses in the backyard became more and more arrogant one by one, and they didn't look very polite to Da Fujin because of being favored.
You can tell from Wu Yagege just now, it's no wonder that Da Fujin had such an ugly face when he saw Geng Yi in the palace, and he probably thought her the same as the Gege in the big brother's backyard.
He realized that he had misjudged the person, and Da Fujin was asking for someone else, so he sent an apology.
Da Fujin's moves were also generous, showing full sincerity, Si Fujin would not be able to refuse, let alone Geng Yi.
With a wave of his hand, Geng Yi forgave Da Fujin and was willing to take over this long-term client.
After all, Dafujin is generous, not to mention giving gifts, but also leaving bank notes, which is not at all cheap, and the money is still left after making Yurong Ointment, it is obvious that there is still enough to give, and it does not make people feel disadvantaged .
Asked Da Fujin's request is the non-scented Yurong ointment, which is easy, Geng Yi directly ordered Hu Nanny to take two maids to start making it.
But she also asked: "Fu Jin, what should Wu Yagege do? Just pretend you didn't hear it?"
Si Fujin also had a headache when he heard it, and said: "When Master comes back, I'll ask how to deal with this matter."
If they don't give it here, will Wu Yagege put eye drops on the elder brother's side, saying that this side is not willing to give it?
If they only sent Yurong ointment to Da Fujin, would Wu Yagege make a fuss when he saw it?
When the fourth elder brother came back and heard it, he felt that this matter was too troublesome, so he made a decision: "I will tell the elder brother later, and let the elder brother handle it by himself."
The big brother's backyard should be dealt with at home, so what's the matter with him?
But compared to Wu Yagege, the fourth elder brother naturally prefers Da Fujin, after all, he is a serious sister-in-law.
Besides, people come to visit, give gifts and make amends. What kind of thing is Wu Yagege? Do you think it's a big deal to throw a few coins over?
The fourth brother frowned, and before going to court the next day, he grabbed the eldest brother and said briefly: "Brother, this thing is not worth much, Wu Yagege really doesn't have to be like this."
Eldest brother felt his cheeks burning hot after hearing this, he only thought that Wu Yagege would be troublesome if he was so eloquent, how could he offend someone by opening his mouth in front of Geng Yi?
Throwing banknotes directly in front of others, who is this looking down upon?
Even if Geng Yi's identity is the same as Wu Yagege's, but after all, Geng Yi is someone close to the fourth elder brother, can she pay for it at will?
The elder brother was so angry that he was going to teach Wu Yagege a lesson when he was about to go back, and let her know his identity!
The eldest elder brother walked away with a sullen face, while the eighth elder brother came up to thank him: "The Yurong ointment sent by the fourth elder brother is very good, and my younger brother likes it very much.
The fourth elder brother only said: "As long as the eighth brother likes it."
He didn't know what to say to Brother Eighth, but luckily he was about to go to court.
The eighth elder brother took a few steps back, and the fourth elder brother was finally freed, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
After the court, the fourth elder brother met the ninth elder brother who was waiting for him at the gate of the palace. He poked his head over and said with a smile: "The Yurong ointment sent by the fourth brother is very useful. Do you plan to do this business in the future? My brother is not talented, the fourth elder brother If I do this, my brother can help me with the details."
The fourth elder brother replied vaguely, and only used the excuse that he had something to go back and slipped away quickly, for fear of being caught by the ninth elder brother and asked carefully about the business.
This ninth younger brother's mother's status is good, and he is not short of money at all. I don't know why he got into the eyes of money, but he likes doing business very much.
Ninth elder brother felt a little regretful and deliberately got up early to catch fourth elder brother and hand over the business of Yurong Ointment to himself, but who knew that fourth elder brother slipped away.
But the future is long, he can always convince the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother pondered for a while in the study after returning, and asked Su Peisheng to call Geng Yi over, and said, "I intend to hand over the business of Yurong Paste to the Geng family, what do you think?"
Geng Yi was stunned, what can it do, that's a great thing!
Presumably the fourth prince thought that Yurong Gao was made by Geng Yi himself, so it was not easy to take advantage of her, so he simply handed over the business to the Geng family.Of course, this business said on the surface that it was handed over to the Geng family, but in fact it was still under the name of the fourth elder brother, and the big head had to be sent over, but it was good for the Geng family to have an extra income.
And in the invisible, the Geng family was also under the wing of the four princes, even if it was only a white job and no income, it was worth it.
Geng Yi was worried that the Geng family was so small, could they really keep the property?
She asked, and the fourth elder brother smiled and said: "It's okay, with my people watching, no one will dare to touch them. It's just that Geng Jin is not suitable for this business directly. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Geng Jin is naturally Geng Yi's Ama, and the fourth elder brother said so, Geng Jin is likely to go a step further, since it is indeed difficult to do business since being an official.
Geng Yi was naturally happy in his heart. After all, his family's Ama was promising, so he thought about it and said, "I remember an uncle who was smart since he was a child, but unfortunately he suffered a serious illness and his legs and feet were not so good, so he couldn't take the imperial examination. "
At the beginning, Geng Jin also felt that if this younger brother took the imperial examination, maybe the family would have a juren.
Although it may be that his family looks good, but since Geng Jin has praised it a few times, people think it can be used?
The fourth elder brother nodded slightly, motioned Su Peisheng to investigate, and asked casually, "What's your uncle's name?"
Geng Yi smiled and said, "Master, it's Geng Yin."
The fourth elder brother was amused when he heard it: "Your house is quite interesting, is it gold and silver?"
The eldest brother is gold and the younger brother is silver. The name is straightforward enough.
After Su Peisheng wrote it down, he went to inquire about it, and the fourth elder brother talked about the moxibustion hall: "I opened the door on a good day, because it was sent to the palace for Huang Ama and the emperor's grandmother before, and the people who inquired before did not Few, there are quite a lot of people making reservations just after the door opens.”
No matter how big the restaurant is, it is impossible to accommodate too many people in one day, so it is more convenient to ask people to make reservations. There is no need to send people to wait, and you can just make a reservation on the day you are free.
Only a few people are received in a day, and it doesn't matter if you go early or late.
There are many people who are curious at the beginning, and many people come, but it may not be so after a long time.
Geng Yi said with a smile: "New customers will bring others if they feel good after trying it out. Word of mouth will accumulate slowly. If there will be more people in the future, I'm afraid we will open a new restaurant."
She had a good idea, so the fourth elder brother smiled and said: "That's kind, if you open a new restaurant, I will give you a seal at the end of the year."
Geng Yi was elated and said: "The concubine is waiting for this generous seal."
When Su Peisheng came back to inquire, this Geng Yin was indeed smart since he was a child, and everyone in the villages knew it. He was only eight years old when he became a child student. Everyone thought that if he could pass the exam and come back, the Geng family's ancestral grave would be smoking.
It's a pity that Geng Yin got seriously ill later, and it took a lot of effort to rescue him. After waking up, he was no different at first.
For this reason, the Geng family is always regretful, but Geng Yin is open-minded. He has survived and is still studying hard at home.
Geng Jin felt sorry for this younger brother, so he paid for the teacher to come back. Even if he couldn't take the imperial examination, it would be okay to study more, and it would pass the time.
Geng Yin learned quickly, one teacher had nothing to teach him, so he changed to another one. He changed more than a dozen in a row, and finally no one could teach him.
In addition to studying by himself, he also helped teach Geng Jin's children at home. Geng Yi's Mongolian language was taught by Geng Yin himself.
Geng Yin is so determined, doesn't give up on himself, studies hard, is so amiable to his nephews and nieces, and has a good relationship with brothers, he is indeed a suitable candidate.
There is no problem with his character, and he is also smart, so the fourth elder brother decided on him, and sent someone to invite Geng Jin to come and talk about it.
Geng Jin rubbed his hands and thanked him naturally. He never thought that one day his younger brother Geng Yin would be able to help the fourth elder brother with an errand. He wished he could kowtow to the fourth elder brother to thank him, and his eyes were red with excitement: "Thank you for my younger brother." The fourth elder brother is promoted, and he will definitely do a good job in the future, and will never disappoint the fourth elder brother's expectations."
The fourth elder brother nodded, and after explaining something, he asked, "Do you want to meet Geng Gege and talk to him?"
The people from Geng Jin are here, so it's okay to drop by to meet Geng Yi.
He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "I just need to take a look at it from a distance, and there is no need to talk to each other when we meet."
I haven't done any errands for the fourth elder brother yet, so I don't want to be too presumptuous, and I am satisfied just by taking a look at my daughter.
When Geng Yi learned that Geng Jin was here, he was still worried. If the fourth elder brother asked this pro-Ama to meet and chat, would he reveal his secrets?
Later, the fourth elder brother sent someone to say that Geng Jin just wanted to take a look at Geng Yi from the window from a distance.
Geng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, stood at the window and waited for a while, a middle-aged man passed by in the distance, without stopping, looked back a few times, and left, as if he was just passing by.
She understood that this was Geng Jin, the original Ama.
When Geng Jin turned his head, revealing a familiar face, Geng Yi couldn't help but his eyes turned red for a moment.
This face is the same as the person in the photo hanging at the end of the house, and it is exactly the same as Geng Yi's father who passed away early.
It's not that the past life or the present life is fate, no matter the original body or her, the father has the same face, and it is very likely that he is still the same person.
Ruyu saw that her Gege's eyes were red, and she seemed to be about to cry in the next moment, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
It was Mammy Hu who went forward to close the window, and reminded in a low voice: "Gugmo has to stand in front of the window for too long, the wind is freezing, there will always be a chance next time."
The fourth elder brother has included the Geng family, so there will always be opportunities for the two father and daughter to meet each other in the future.
Geng Yi nodded slightly, looking at the closed window with a disappointed expression.
She sat blankly in the distance, her eyes dimmed, Ruyu couldn't help worrying, she looked at Nanny Hu at a loss, and waited for Nanny Hu to help her with an idea.
Mother Hu thought for a while, then stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Zhuzi just came, and the kitchen asked Ge Ge what he would like for dinner?"
Geng Yi was a little listless, and he couldn't even get excited about ordering food: "Let the kitchen cook whatever you want, as long as it's hot."
My Gege didn't even bother to order food, she was in a bad mood.
Mammy Hu was also in a dilemma. She went out to ask Xiao Zhuzi, and he said: "The kitchen has fresh lamb meat today, and the lamb is not too big. It is the most suitable for washing the pot. Mammy, please ask Gege if this is okay." ?"
Hearing this, Nanny Hu hurried back to ask, and even repeated what Xiao Zhuzi said verbatim.
Geng Yi's ears twitched, thinking for a while that he was in a bad mood, shouldn't he eat something better!
The lamb meat is very suitable for brushing the pot. It is fresh and tender. You only need to brush the chopsticks in the hot soup for a while, dip it in the sauce, and accompany it with rice.
She swallowed her saliva and said, "Then I need a pot, it's smaller but not too big."
Hu Nanny should go out and tell Xiao Zhuzi, but Ruyu is strange, why did Geng Yi think that the fourth elder brother will never come tonight?
But Geng Yi thought that according to the temperament of the fourth elder brother, he gave the Geng family such a great favor, and he probably wouldn't come here for a few days.
It just so happens that she can eat alone, so it's so much fun to cook hot pot by herself!
Don't worry about Si elder brother not being able to eat this one, or not liking that one, anyway, Geng Yi can eat whatever he likes, if he likes spicy food, he can eat spicy food, if he likes sour food, he can eat sour food.
Just do what you want, Geng Yi ordered not only lamb meat, but also vegetables, no matter what, he can serve whatever he has.
The weight of each serving does not need to be too much, and if there is not enough to wash, it will not be wasted because it cannot be eaten.
The base soup was chicken soup that had been hanging for several hours, and a plate of pickled radishes was also delivered.
The sour and crunchy pickled radish was prepared by Geng Yi in the kitchen last time, and it can be used at any time, so it was delivered here in a hurry, and it can relieve the greasy when eating the lamb.
Xiao Zhuzi and Ruyu made two trips and brought all the things over. The entire table was filled. Geng Yi looked quite satisfied, and turned his head to ask: "Can Liu Banban make mutton skewers? It's just mutton." Cut into pieces, marinate them, skewer them and roast them on the fire until they are golden on both sides before sending them over.”
There is mutton hot pot, how can there be no mutton skewers!
What's so difficult about it, Xiao Zhuzi ran fast on his legs, and went to the kitchen to ask, Chef Liu said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'll do it right away, I'll keep Geng Gege like it."
I heard that the fourth elder brother went to Niu Gulu Gege tonight, why did Geng Yi continue to eat and drink heartlessly here?
But it's not the first time that Geng Gege loves to eat.
Chef Liu cut each piece of mutton into roughly the same size, brushed both sides with the prepared sauce, marinated for half an hour, and then grilled on the fire.
The fire can't be too big, otherwise it will easily turn the mutton black, and it can't be too small, otherwise when will it be roasted?
While roasting, use a brush to carefully brush the sauce on the mutton pieces again and again to make the mutton more flavorful.
It didn't take long for the sizzling mutton skewers to be grilled, filling the room with the aroma.
The smell was still wafting outside. Li Gege couldn't help asking Chunfang to ask. As soon as Chunfang entered the kitchen, she was incensed, so she hurriedly asked, "What did Liu Banban do? It's so fragrant." .”
Chef Liu said with a smile: "This is the mutton skewer that Geng Gege ordered. Does Li Gege want it too?"
Chunfang hesitated for a while, but ran back to ask Li Gege.
Li Gege smelled the fragrance, but he didn't dare to use it when he heard that it was mutton skewers.
Because she is prone to get angry when eating mutton, especially if it is roasted, something will grow on her face or mouth the next day after eating, so she had to decline with tears.
Fortunately, Chef Liu baked well, Xiao Zhuzi left with the food box, and the smell dissipated quickly.
Geng Yi brushed a piece of lamb meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth. One bite of meat and one bite of rice was satisfying.
The mutton kebabs were delivered, and she took a bite with the kebabs in one hand. Chef Liu's craftsmanship was really good. The surface of the meat was a little burnt, but it didn't burn bitterly. Instead, it added a burnt aroma. The mutton inside But it is very tender and full of juice. Take a bite and eat it in your mouth, and the sauce will burst, adding a bit of freshness, without any mutton smell.
This mutton skewer should be eaten while it is hot, and it will not taste good when it is cold. Geng Yi finished eating the skewers, then picked up the chopsticks again and continued to brush the mutton. After eating, his whole body was warm.
Finally, vegetables are added to the bottom of the pot, and the meal will come to an end.
Geng Yi lazily leaned on the soft bed, the satisfaction after eating dispelled the previous depression.
Sure enough, there is nothing that one meal of food can't solve. If it doesn't work, then have two meals, or if it doesn't work, then three meals!
It was because she smelled the smell of mutton all over her body, as if it was moving roasted mutton, which looked delicious.
The room is also full of this smell, so I can only open the window to disperse it. Geng Yi took a bath to wash off the smell of mutton, otherwise he might not be able to help but bite himself after falling asleep at night.
In the evening, she didn't plan to wash her hair. She just took apart her black hair and let Rusui run through it with a scented comb to get rid of the smell from her hair little by little.
Ru Sui was dexterous, and when combing his hair with just the right strength, Geng Yi was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep like this.
Geng Yi simply lay on his side on the couch, let Rusui continue to comb his hair, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep with the pillow on his face.
Ru Sui continued to comb her hair cautiously, and stopped when she smelled that the long hair did not smell much of mutton, tiptoely tucked up the quilt for Geng Yi, went out, and whispered to Nanny Hu: "Ge Ge seems to be in a better mood after dinner." gone."
Nanny Hu nodded, and she could tell that Geng Yi was probably homesick for Ama and Er Niang, and felt a little sad when he saw Geng Jin passing by from a distance but couldn't stay, but fortunately, he didn't feel so sad after dinner.
Geng Yi didn't hide anything about it. The next day, the fourth prince heard what Su Peisheng said, and he said with emotion: "She looks much more lively than before, but she still likes to hide many things in her heart."
The fourth elder brother took pity on Geng Yi, and also loved the house and Wu, so he also took some time to buy and sell Yurong ointment in the Geng family, and asked Fujin to arrange a few confidantes to learn how to make Yurong ointment from Hu Momo, and then asked Su Peisheng to choose A nice pavement.
After Geng Jin went back, he sent a letter to Geng Yin, asking him to come quickly.
When Geng Yin received the letter, his hands were shaking after reading it, and his eye circles were red. He never thought that one day he would be promoted by a nobleman to work for the fourth elder brother.
However, his physical condition is such that it is impossible to go further, but it is enough to make people enviable.
Geng Yin is very contented, and understands that this must be recommended by Geng Jin and Geng Yi, otherwise how would the fourth elder brother know who he is?
He immediately packed up his things and rushed to the capital. After meeting with Geng Jin, Geng Jin taught his younger brother some rules, and then briefly explained how the fourth elder brother behaved: "The fourth elder brother has always been fair and strict, and he is also kind to the people below, but the most important thing is to You must do your job well, and you must not be perfunctory.”
If it is not done well, or if it is perfunctory and lazy, then the fourth elder brother will never be polite!
Geng Yin immediately patted his heart and promised: "Don't worry, brother, I finally got this job, and I will never let this matter go wrong!"
Geng Jin felt at ease with this younger brother who had watched him grow up since he was a child, and said: "I will take you to see the fourth elder brother first, and you will live here in the capital later, and I will pick you up after you settle down." Siblings and children come here."
His younger brother and sister are the daughters of a poor scholar. The scholar repeatedly took the exam for many years, and refused to give up going out to work, leaving the family impoverished. His wife was ill and had no money to treat her. Taking care of the family at an early age, barely growing up, thin and thin and not beautiful enough, dragged on until she got older and couldn't get married.
The elders of the Geng family saw that this girl could endure hardships and be diligent. Whenever she had time, she could read and write.Geng Yin still admired this girl very much. It happened that he was seen by this girl while he was reading and writing by the river.
After studying with Geng Yin for a few years, this girl's reading and writing has become better. It is perfect to come to the capital to help manage the shop together.
It's just that you have to ask the fourth elder brother about this matter, and Geng Jin dared to take his sister-in-law over after he nodded.
When Geng Yin was standing outside Baylor's residence waiting for the transmission, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. The excitement before coming here slowly faded away, and he became a little timid.
Especially since the gate of the mansion is so majestic, will the servants look contemptuous when they see him walking after he enters?
When the fourth elder brother sees himself, although he has heard of it before, it is one thing to hear it, but another thing to see it, and he doesn’t like the one who looks at the slope, will this job be gone?
Geng Yin was uneasy, and was patted on the back by Geng Jin and said, "Go in later and salute properly, so you don't have to think about other things."
Moreover, since the fourth elder brother would choose Geng Yin, he must have sent someone to investigate carefully, and only use it after making sure that the person is trustworthy. How could he change his mind at will?
After Si Fujin received it, she was still puzzled, after all, the relationship between the fourth elder brother and the eldest elder brother was very ordinary, why did Da Fujin come to visit suddenly?
She told the fourth elder brother that the latter was also puzzled, but since everyone sent posts to their door, they had to treat them well.
Brother Si doesn't need to worry about this matter, Fujin can just come by himself.
The next day, when Da Fujin and Wu Yagege came over in a carriage, Nanny Liao was already waiting at the door, leading the two of them inside.
Da Fujin saw that Sibeile's mansion was naturally not as big as eldest brother's Zhijun Wang's mansion, because there were not many people in the backyard, but it was comfortable and comfortable to live in.
She thought of the group of Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard of the elder brother, and she felt uncomfortable.
The elder brother always wanted a son, so Da Fujin worked hard to have a son, and then gave birth to several daughters in succession.
Every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the face of the elder brother will become more and more ugly when he comes over, it is extremely reluctant.
However, the son-in-law can only come out of Da Fujin's belly, and the elder brother can only come more even if he is unhappy in his heart.
Da Fujin was even more unhappy when he saw his face, and he didn't bother to talk to the big brother. He was not as gentle and pleasant as before. The big brother naturally began to prefer those sweet-talking and coaxing princesses in the backyard.
Wu Yagege is the best among them. He is good-looking, has a nice voice, and is especially good at talking, coaxing the big brother to go around, otherwise the big brother would not open his mouth and let Da Fujin bring this Gege over.
It was too cold outside in winter, so Sifujin invited Dafujin to the house, and Youdilong was also warm, so he greeted him from a distance and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is here, who is this?"
Da Fujin's face was calm, and he introduced casually: "This is Wu Yagege. She heard that Geng Gege cooks good dishes and can make Yurong ointment. She wanted to see it, so she followed her."
Si Fujin was taken aback, Wu Yagege smiled and saluted and said: "As Da Fujin said, I heard that Geng Gege is very powerful, and I really want to get to know him, so please Si Fujin introduce me."
Hearing this, Si Fujin had no choice but to let Nanny Liao take Wu Yagege to Geng Yi's side, and entertain Da Fujin herself.
Geng Yi knew that Wu Yagege was going to come over, so he was completely inexplicable. After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Yagege did not exist in his memory at all. He probably didn't know him, so why did he suddenly come over to get to know himself?
But everyone was coming to the door, so Geng Yi still asked Ruyu to go to the kitchen to order some snacks, and then asked Madam Hu to make tea, as a way to treat Wu Yagege well as a landlord.
Wu Yagege is petite, looks like Xiaojiabiyu, wearing an indigo dress and a moon-white cloak, when he came in, he smiled first: "I take the liberty to come to visit, please Genggemo mind."
Everyone was here, Geng Yi couldn't care less, so he first asked Wu Yagege to take off his cape, and then sat down.
The red date cake was delivered from the kitchen. It is made into a bite size, so it is not easy to get rid of the mouth fat.
Wu Yagege looked very novel, picked up a piece and ate it, one mouthful was just right, the red date cake was still sweet, it would be perfect to drink with tea: "Geng Gege is really dexterous, and he is very good at living, let me just look at it Envious."
Geng Yi smiled modestly: "Where, it's Fourth Master and Fujin who are kind and treat everyone in the house very well."
It is true that no one in the backyard will skimp on food and clothing, as long as they do not make excessive demands, they will be satisfied.
Wu Yagege enviously said: "That's great, although I'm still favored in the house, but there are many things I can't eat and use."
Geng Yi didn't want to answer these words, because Gege's identities did not follow the rules to eat and use many things.Why, Wu Yagege is envious of what Da Fujin eats, and wants a copy?
Even if the elder brother agrees, he will be able to read dozens of books by the censor when he turns back!
Seeing that Geng Yi didn't answer, Wu Yagege smiled and said: "I was rude, I didn't make sense of what I said. The fourth brother gave our master Yurong ointment before, but he didn't like to use it, so he gave it to Fujin . Fujin has become much more attractive after employing people, but the number is not large, and the master promised to give them all to Fujin from the beginning, so I can only be greedy."
"So I took the liberty to come to the door today, hoping that sister Geng could help me do something."
She directly stuffed a purse over, which contained two bank notes, and the amount was not small.
Geng Yi couldn't help being surprised, it seemed that Wu Yagege was indeed favored by the elder brother, and it was refreshing enough to give money.
She didn't rush to agree, but said vaguely: "I have to ask Fourth Master and Fujin about this before I can decide."
After all, the gift was given by the fourth elder brother. It is the elder brother's business to resell the gift to whom, and it has nothing to do with him.
Wu Yagege wanted to buy it for money, but Da Fujin used it in the backyard, and now she wants to use Gege, if it is suitable, Geng Yi has to ask Si Age and Si Fujin.
Hearing this, Wu Yagege took a look at Geng Yi, and felt that this Geng Gege was not as favored as he imagined, and he was very timid, so he still smiled and said: "This is what it should be, then I will wait for Sister Geng." Good news. There is no need to return this purse, if not, it can be regarded as a gift from me to my sister."
Geng Yi didn't want to take it back, but Wu Yagege didn't intend to take it back, and the atmosphere became stalemate for a while.
Dafujin and Sifujin over there also talked about their intentions, wanting more tasteless Yurong ointment.
Si Fujin couldn't help being surprised and said: "Geng Gege asked someone to make it. It's not troublesome to do it, but some materials need to be collected. I'll have someone send it to my sister-in-law after a while."
It's just that the several jars of Yurong ointment given to the elder brother before, he heard that all of them were given to Da Fujin. Could it be that she has used up all of them?
Si Fujin euphemistically reminded: "Sister-in-law, you can't keep this Yurong ointment for too long, the sooner you use it up, the better. Later, when sister-in-law is about to run out, send someone to tell me in advance, and I'll make it ready and send it over. "
Da Fujin looked embarrassed, and explained with some embarrassment: "The child is still young, and scented ones are not suitable for use. I wiped my hands and feet and felt good. Then I started to wipe my face. The original dark yellow on my face gradually became paler. It became clearer, so I wiped some on my body, and it used up quickly."
Sifujin was speechless, Dafujin wiped it all over his body, probably a lot each time, no wonder it was used quickly!
After half a month, no matter how much Yurong ointment is, it will almost be used up!
No wonder Da Fujin would come to the door in person, after all, Si Fujin thought she would never visit Geng Yi because of his attitude towards Geng Yi.Now if you want to ask for Yurong ointment, you have to come.
No matter how thick-skinned Da Fujin was, he was still a little embarrassed: "I offended Geng Gege a lot before, and it was also because those in my backyard were really bad, and they were all spoiled by big brother, which made me so angry that I thought this Geng Gege was the same as them, and couldn't help but say a few more words that didn't distract him."
It was difficult for her to have a good impression of Ge Ge in the backyard, especially the arrogant appearance of those big elder brothers, so when she saw Geng Yi, she also thought that Geng Yi was like this, and she was very unwilling to go with him up.
Da Fujin not only talked about it, but also specially brought an apology. The gift he gave was quite thoughtful. He knew that Geng Yi was good at painting and liked Western painting, so he sent a set of Western brushes and paints.
These are all imported products, the price is not low, only imported products stores have them, and they are delivered from thousands of miles. You can have them if you have money, and it is not so easy to buy them.
There is also a box of bird's nest and a small box of thumb-sized pearls, all of which are of good quality.
Since Da Fujin came, of course he also brought gifts to Si Fujin, which were a box of cloth, two boxes of bird's nest and a pair of jewelry.
Si Fujin touched the material and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, isn't this Lingyun satin?"
Da Fujin nodded with a smile: "The fourth younger siblings have discernment, and you can spot it at a glance."
The satin surface of Lingyun satin is extremely smooth and thin, and the lines on it are very smooth. It looks beautiful on the surface, but is extremely smooth on the inside. It is most suitable for making clothes for children and will not hurt their immature skin.
This fabric requires hundreds of processes, and the output is very small, only in the south of the Yangtze River.Da Fujin probably got it after spending a lot of money, so she wanted to make clothes for her daughter, so she also spared a box to give Si Fujin as a gift.
This was obviously a gift for Honghui, and the mother-in-law naturally thought of her own children, and the smile on Sifujin's lips deepened: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I will accept it for Honghui."
There was also a pair of jadeite bracelets with good water in the other brocade box, and Da Fujin put them on directly for Si Fujin: "I see that the water is good and the color is good, and it is most suitable for the fourth younger brother and sister. It really is so."
She was quite generous, and the gift she gave was quite expensive, and Si Fujin was a little embarrassed to accept it.
Da Fujin laughed and said, "I will have to bother my fourth sibling and Geng Gege from now on, these gifts are nothing."
Si Fujin said: "I don't know if there are any new ones made by Geng Gege. After all, these things have not been stored for a long time, and they usually start to make them when they are going to be given away."
After hearing this, Da Fujin said: "That's fine, when the fourth sibling is ready, send someone to tell me, and I'll send someone to come and pick it up."
Si Fujin felt strange when he heard it and said: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. If it's done, I'll just send someone to send it to my sister-in-law."
Da Fujin waved his hand and said, "Farewell, when those little vixens in the backyard saw that they wanted it, Big Brother has to lose his temper with me again."
It's hard for Si Fujin to answer these words, and Geng Yi and Wu Yagege are still in a stalemate.
Fortunately, Nanny Hu was clever, and when she saw something was wrong, she hurriedly went to Nanny Liao to see if Si Fujin could give her advice.
As soon as Nanny Liao heard this, she hurried to report to Si Fujin. When she saw Da Fujin, she was ashamed to say to her face that the character in the backyard was not good.
Seeing Nanny Liao's expression, Da Fujin raised his eyebrows and said, "Wu Yagege is behind to make things difficult for Geng Gege? Fourth brother and sister, let someone guide me, and I'll just take them away, so that Geng Gege won't be in a dilemma. "
She just wanted Geng Yi to make more Yurong ointment for herself, wishing to have this opportunity to help out, so as to ease the embarrassment of last time, grab Nanny Liao and let her lead the way, and hurriedly went to the backyard.
Si Fujin had no choice but to follow behind, almost missing Da Fujin.
Geng Yi was wondering how to break the silence and continue to refuse, when Da Fujin rushed in like a whirlwind, and immediately understood when he saw the purse on the table: "Wu Yagege, we should go back."
Wu Yagege was somewhat reluctant, she hadn't asked Geng Yi to agree to buy Yurong Ointment!
"Fujin wait a moment, my concubine wants to ask Geng Gege to help make a few jars of Yurong ointment to take back. But Geng Gege said that he wanted to ask Si Fujin what he meant, what do Si Fujin think?"
The next four Fujin just arrived, when they heard Wu Yagege's words, they were startled for a moment, not knowing how to answer, this Wu Yagege asked too directly, right?
Before Si Fujin could reply, Da Fujin said: "When I saw Geng Gege, I just didn't like it, why are you still dawdling here to embarrass others! Hurry up, don't be ashamed, if you don't leave, you will have to leave later gone back."
Wu Yage was taken aback for a moment, Da Fujin could really do the thing of leaving her and riding a carriage home alone.
Even if she turned around and complained to the big brother, and the big brother went to find trouble with Da Fujin, so what if the two had a big fight, she was the one who suffered, so she couldn't really go back?
The two houses are not close to each other, so it's not appropriate to let Sibeile's sedan chair take her back, and Wu Yagege is not happy to hire a sedan chair outside who knows who has been in it, so I can only really walk back!
Da Fujin restrained Wu Yagege, then nodded to Geng Yi and said: "Troublesome, Gege."
She said to Si Fujin behind her: "Fourth brother and sister, I'll go back first and wait for your good news."
After finishing speaking, Da Fujin took Wu Yagege and left in a hurry.
Even Sifujin didn't have time to get up to see him off, so Dafujin waved his hand from a distance and said, "Fourth siblings stay here..."
She left like a gust of wind, Sifujin stood there speechless, what's the matter!
Si Fujin turned his head and ordered Nanny Liao to bring over the gift that Da Fujin had given to Geng Yi, and Geng Yi was dumbfounded.
The last time Da Fujin almost rolled his eyes towards her, why was he suddenly so polite and sent so many gifts?
After Si Fujin explained, Geng Yi realized that Da Fujin was asking for Yurong Ointment, and he also apologized for misunderstanding her last time, and what he sent was an apology.
Si Fujin briefly talked about the big brother's backyard, and said: "We can't criticize the big brother in private, but the backyard is more complicated because of the large number of people."
She spoke vaguely, but Geng Yi actually understood.
It is obvious that the elder brother wants to have a son before the prince, and surpass the prince. Although Da Fujin is pregnant before the princess, but Da Fujin has given birth to several daughters in a row, so he gradually becomes indifferent to her.
Apart from going to Dafujin's courtyard, he hangs out with Princesses, concubines and maidservants.
The elder brother didn't give Da Fujin face, and the favored princesses in the backyard became more and more arrogant one by one, and they didn't look very polite to Da Fujin because of being favored.
You can tell from Wu Yagege just now, it's no wonder that Da Fujin had such an ugly face when he saw Geng Yi in the palace, and he probably thought her the same as the Gege in the big brother's backyard.
He realized that he had misjudged the person, and Da Fujin was asking for someone else, so he sent an apology.
Da Fujin's moves were also generous, showing full sincerity, Si Fujin would not be able to refuse, let alone Geng Yi.
With a wave of his hand, Geng Yi forgave Da Fujin and was willing to take over this long-term client.
After all, Dafujin is generous, not to mention giving gifts, but also leaving bank notes, which is not at all cheap, and the money is still left after making Yurong Ointment, it is obvious that there is still enough to give, and it does not make people feel disadvantaged .
Asked Da Fujin's request is the non-scented Yurong ointment, which is easy, Geng Yi directly ordered Hu Nanny to take two maids to start making it.
But she also asked: "Fu Jin, what should Wu Yagege do? Just pretend you didn't hear it?"
Si Fujin also had a headache when he heard it, and said: "When Master comes back, I'll ask how to deal with this matter."
If they don't give it here, will Wu Yagege put eye drops on the elder brother's side, saying that this side is not willing to give it?
If they only sent Yurong ointment to Da Fujin, would Wu Yagege make a fuss when he saw it?
When the fourth elder brother came back and heard it, he felt that this matter was too troublesome, so he made a decision: "I will tell the elder brother later, and let the elder brother handle it by himself."
The big brother's backyard should be dealt with at home, so what's the matter with him?
But compared to Wu Yagege, the fourth elder brother naturally prefers Da Fujin, after all, he is a serious sister-in-law.
Besides, people come to visit, give gifts and make amends. What kind of thing is Wu Yagege? Do you think it's a big deal to throw a few coins over?
The fourth brother frowned, and before going to court the next day, he grabbed the eldest brother and said briefly: "Brother, this thing is not worth much, Wu Yagege really doesn't have to be like this."
Eldest brother felt his cheeks burning hot after hearing this, he only thought that Wu Yagege would be troublesome if he was so eloquent, how could he offend someone by opening his mouth in front of Geng Yi?
Throwing banknotes directly in front of others, who is this looking down upon?
Even if Geng Yi's identity is the same as Wu Yagege's, but after all, Geng Yi is someone close to the fourth elder brother, can she pay for it at will?
The elder brother was so angry that he was going to teach Wu Yagege a lesson when he was about to go back, and let her know his identity!
The eldest elder brother walked away with a sullen face, while the eighth elder brother came up to thank him: "The Yurong ointment sent by the fourth elder brother is very good, and my younger brother likes it very much.
The fourth elder brother only said: "As long as the eighth brother likes it."
He didn't know what to say to Brother Eighth, but luckily he was about to go to court.
The eighth elder brother took a few steps back, and the fourth elder brother was finally freed, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
After the court, the fourth elder brother met the ninth elder brother who was waiting for him at the gate of the palace. He poked his head over and said with a smile: "The Yurong ointment sent by the fourth brother is very useful. Do you plan to do this business in the future? My brother is not talented, the fourth elder brother If I do this, my brother can help me with the details."
The fourth elder brother replied vaguely, and only used the excuse that he had something to go back and slipped away quickly, for fear of being caught by the ninth elder brother and asked carefully about the business.
This ninth younger brother's mother's status is good, and he is not short of money at all. I don't know why he got into the eyes of money, but he likes doing business very much.
Ninth elder brother felt a little regretful and deliberately got up early to catch fourth elder brother and hand over the business of Yurong Ointment to himself, but who knew that fourth elder brother slipped away.
But the future is long, he can always convince the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother pondered for a while in the study after returning, and asked Su Peisheng to call Geng Yi over, and said, "I intend to hand over the business of Yurong Paste to the Geng family, what do you think?"
Geng Yi was stunned, what can it do, that's a great thing!
Presumably the fourth prince thought that Yurong Gao was made by Geng Yi himself, so it was not easy to take advantage of her, so he simply handed over the business to the Geng family.Of course, this business said on the surface that it was handed over to the Geng family, but in fact it was still under the name of the fourth elder brother, and the big head had to be sent over, but it was good for the Geng family to have an extra income.
And in the invisible, the Geng family was also under the wing of the four princes, even if it was only a white job and no income, it was worth it.
Geng Yi was worried that the Geng family was so small, could they really keep the property?
She asked, and the fourth elder brother smiled and said: "It's okay, with my people watching, no one will dare to touch them. It's just that Geng Jin is not suitable for this business directly. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Geng Jin is naturally Geng Yi's Ama, and the fourth elder brother said so, Geng Jin is likely to go a step further, since it is indeed difficult to do business since being an official.
Geng Yi was naturally happy in his heart. After all, his family's Ama was promising, so he thought about it and said, "I remember an uncle who was smart since he was a child, but unfortunately he suffered a serious illness and his legs and feet were not so good, so he couldn't take the imperial examination. "
At the beginning, Geng Jin also felt that if this younger brother took the imperial examination, maybe the family would have a juren.
Although it may be that his family looks good, but since Geng Jin has praised it a few times, people think it can be used?
The fourth elder brother nodded slightly, motioned Su Peisheng to investigate, and asked casually, "What's your uncle's name?"
Geng Yi smiled and said, "Master, it's Geng Yin."
The fourth elder brother was amused when he heard it: "Your house is quite interesting, is it gold and silver?"
The eldest brother is gold and the younger brother is silver. The name is straightforward enough.
After Su Peisheng wrote it down, he went to inquire about it, and the fourth elder brother talked about the moxibustion hall: "I opened the door on a good day, because it was sent to the palace for Huang Ama and the emperor's grandmother before, and the people who inquired before did not Few, there are quite a lot of people making reservations just after the door opens.”
No matter how big the restaurant is, it is impossible to accommodate too many people in one day, so it is more convenient to ask people to make reservations. There is no need to send people to wait, and you can just make a reservation on the day you are free.
Only a few people are received in a day, and it doesn't matter if you go early or late.
There are many people who are curious at the beginning, and many people come, but it may not be so after a long time.
Geng Yi said with a smile: "New customers will bring others if they feel good after trying it out. Word of mouth will accumulate slowly. If there will be more people in the future, I'm afraid we will open a new restaurant."
She had a good idea, so the fourth elder brother smiled and said: "That's kind, if you open a new restaurant, I will give you a seal at the end of the year."
Geng Yi was elated and said: "The concubine is waiting for this generous seal."
When Su Peisheng came back to inquire, this Geng Yin was indeed smart since he was a child, and everyone in the villages knew it. He was only eight years old when he became a child student. Everyone thought that if he could pass the exam and come back, the Geng family's ancestral grave would be smoking.
It's a pity that Geng Yin got seriously ill later, and it took a lot of effort to rescue him. After waking up, he was no different at first.
For this reason, the Geng family is always regretful, but Geng Yin is open-minded. He has survived and is still studying hard at home.
Geng Jin felt sorry for this younger brother, so he paid for the teacher to come back. Even if he couldn't take the imperial examination, it would be okay to study more, and it would pass the time.
Geng Yin learned quickly, one teacher had nothing to teach him, so he changed to another one. He changed more than a dozen in a row, and finally no one could teach him.
In addition to studying by himself, he also helped teach Geng Jin's children at home. Geng Yi's Mongolian language was taught by Geng Yin himself.
Geng Yin is so determined, doesn't give up on himself, studies hard, is so amiable to his nephews and nieces, and has a good relationship with brothers, he is indeed a suitable candidate.
There is no problem with his character, and he is also smart, so the fourth elder brother decided on him, and sent someone to invite Geng Jin to come and talk about it.
Geng Jin rubbed his hands and thanked him naturally. He never thought that one day his younger brother Geng Yin would be able to help the fourth elder brother with an errand. He wished he could kowtow to the fourth elder brother to thank him, and his eyes were red with excitement: "Thank you for my younger brother." The fourth elder brother is promoted, and he will definitely do a good job in the future, and will never disappoint the fourth elder brother's expectations."
The fourth elder brother nodded, and after explaining something, he asked, "Do you want to meet Geng Gege and talk to him?"
The people from Geng Jin are here, so it's okay to drop by to meet Geng Yi.
He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "I just need to take a look at it from a distance, and there is no need to talk to each other when we meet."
I haven't done any errands for the fourth elder brother yet, so I don't want to be too presumptuous, and I am satisfied just by taking a look at my daughter.
When Geng Yi learned that Geng Jin was here, he was still worried. If the fourth elder brother asked this pro-Ama to meet and chat, would he reveal his secrets?
Later, the fourth elder brother sent someone to say that Geng Jin just wanted to take a look at Geng Yi from the window from a distance.
Geng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, stood at the window and waited for a while, a middle-aged man passed by in the distance, without stopping, looked back a few times, and left, as if he was just passing by.
She understood that this was Geng Jin, the original Ama.
When Geng Jin turned his head, revealing a familiar face, Geng Yi couldn't help but his eyes turned red for a moment.
This face is the same as the person in the photo hanging at the end of the house, and it is exactly the same as Geng Yi's father who passed away early.
It's not that the past life or the present life is fate, no matter the original body or her, the father has the same face, and it is very likely that he is still the same person.
Ruyu saw that her Gege's eyes were red, and she seemed to be about to cry in the next moment, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
It was Mammy Hu who went forward to close the window, and reminded in a low voice: "Gugmo has to stand in front of the window for too long, the wind is freezing, there will always be a chance next time."
The fourth elder brother has included the Geng family, so there will always be opportunities for the two father and daughter to meet each other in the future.
Geng Yi nodded slightly, looking at the closed window with a disappointed expression.
She sat blankly in the distance, her eyes dimmed, Ruyu couldn't help worrying, she looked at Nanny Hu at a loss, and waited for Nanny Hu to help her with an idea.
Mother Hu thought for a while, then stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Zhuzi just came, and the kitchen asked Ge Ge what he would like for dinner?"
Geng Yi was a little listless, and he couldn't even get excited about ordering food: "Let the kitchen cook whatever you want, as long as it's hot."
My Gege didn't even bother to order food, she was in a bad mood.
Mammy Hu was also in a dilemma. She went out to ask Xiao Zhuzi, and he said: "The kitchen has fresh lamb meat today, and the lamb is not too big. It is the most suitable for washing the pot. Mammy, please ask Gege if this is okay." ?"
Hearing this, Nanny Hu hurried back to ask, and even repeated what Xiao Zhuzi said verbatim.
Geng Yi's ears twitched, thinking for a while that he was in a bad mood, shouldn't he eat something better!
The lamb meat is very suitable for brushing the pot. It is fresh and tender. You only need to brush the chopsticks in the hot soup for a while, dip it in the sauce, and accompany it with rice.
She swallowed her saliva and said, "Then I need a pot, it's smaller but not too big."
Hu Nanny should go out and tell Xiao Zhuzi, but Ruyu is strange, why did Geng Yi think that the fourth elder brother will never come tonight?
But Geng Yi thought that according to the temperament of the fourth elder brother, he gave the Geng family such a great favor, and he probably wouldn't come here for a few days.
It just so happens that she can eat alone, so it's so much fun to cook hot pot by herself!
Don't worry about Si elder brother not being able to eat this one, or not liking that one, anyway, Geng Yi can eat whatever he likes, if he likes spicy food, he can eat spicy food, if he likes sour food, he can eat sour food.
Just do what you want, Geng Yi ordered not only lamb meat, but also vegetables, no matter what, he can serve whatever he has.
The weight of each serving does not need to be too much, and if there is not enough to wash, it will not be wasted because it cannot be eaten.
The base soup was chicken soup that had been hanging for several hours, and a plate of pickled radishes was also delivered.
The sour and crunchy pickled radish was prepared by Geng Yi in the kitchen last time, and it can be used at any time, so it was delivered here in a hurry, and it can relieve the greasy when eating the lamb.
Xiao Zhuzi and Ruyu made two trips and brought all the things over. The entire table was filled. Geng Yi looked quite satisfied, and turned his head to ask: "Can Liu Banban make mutton skewers? It's just mutton." Cut into pieces, marinate them, skewer them and roast them on the fire until they are golden on both sides before sending them over.”
There is mutton hot pot, how can there be no mutton skewers!
What's so difficult about it, Xiao Zhuzi ran fast on his legs, and went to the kitchen to ask, Chef Liu said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'll do it right away, I'll keep Geng Gege like it."
I heard that the fourth elder brother went to Niu Gulu Gege tonight, why did Geng Yi continue to eat and drink heartlessly here?
But it's not the first time that Geng Gege loves to eat.
Chef Liu cut each piece of mutton into roughly the same size, brushed both sides with the prepared sauce, marinated for half an hour, and then grilled on the fire.
The fire can't be too big, otherwise it will easily turn the mutton black, and it can't be too small, otherwise when will it be roasted?
While roasting, use a brush to carefully brush the sauce on the mutton pieces again and again to make the mutton more flavorful.
It didn't take long for the sizzling mutton skewers to be grilled, filling the room with the aroma.
The smell was still wafting outside. Li Gege couldn't help asking Chunfang to ask. As soon as Chunfang entered the kitchen, she was incensed, so she hurriedly asked, "What did Liu Banban do? It's so fragrant." .”
Chef Liu said with a smile: "This is the mutton skewer that Geng Gege ordered. Does Li Gege want it too?"
Chunfang hesitated for a while, but ran back to ask Li Gege.
Li Gege smelled the fragrance, but he didn't dare to use it when he heard that it was mutton skewers.
Because she is prone to get angry when eating mutton, especially if it is roasted, something will grow on her face or mouth the next day after eating, so she had to decline with tears.
Fortunately, Chef Liu baked well, Xiao Zhuzi left with the food box, and the smell dissipated quickly.
Geng Yi brushed a piece of lamb meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth. One bite of meat and one bite of rice was satisfying.
The mutton kebabs were delivered, and she took a bite with the kebabs in one hand. Chef Liu's craftsmanship was really good. The surface of the meat was a little burnt, but it didn't burn bitterly. Instead, it added a burnt aroma. The mutton inside But it is very tender and full of juice. Take a bite and eat it in your mouth, and the sauce will burst, adding a bit of freshness, without any mutton smell.
This mutton skewer should be eaten while it is hot, and it will not taste good when it is cold. Geng Yi finished eating the skewers, then picked up the chopsticks again and continued to brush the mutton. After eating, his whole body was warm.
Finally, vegetables are added to the bottom of the pot, and the meal will come to an end.
Geng Yi lazily leaned on the soft bed, the satisfaction after eating dispelled the previous depression.
Sure enough, there is nothing that one meal of food can't solve. If it doesn't work, then have two meals, or if it doesn't work, then three meals!
It was because she smelled the smell of mutton all over her body, as if it was moving roasted mutton, which looked delicious.
The room is also full of this smell, so I can only open the window to disperse it. Geng Yi took a bath to wash off the smell of mutton, otherwise he might not be able to help but bite himself after falling asleep at night.
In the evening, she didn't plan to wash her hair. She just took apart her black hair and let Rusui run through it with a scented comb to get rid of the smell from her hair little by little.
Ru Sui was dexterous, and when combing his hair with just the right strength, Geng Yi was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep like this.
Geng Yi simply lay on his side on the couch, let Rusui continue to comb his hair, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep with the pillow on his face.
Ru Sui continued to comb her hair cautiously, and stopped when she smelled that the long hair did not smell much of mutton, tiptoely tucked up the quilt for Geng Yi, went out, and whispered to Nanny Hu: "Ge Ge seems to be in a better mood after dinner." gone."
Nanny Hu nodded, and she could tell that Geng Yi was probably homesick for Ama and Er Niang, and felt a little sad when he saw Geng Jin passing by from a distance but couldn't stay, but fortunately, he didn't feel so sad after dinner.
Geng Yi didn't hide anything about it. The next day, the fourth prince heard what Su Peisheng said, and he said with emotion: "She looks much more lively than before, but she still likes to hide many things in her heart."
The fourth elder brother took pity on Geng Yi, and also loved the house and Wu, so he also took some time to buy and sell Yurong ointment in the Geng family, and asked Fujin to arrange a few confidantes to learn how to make Yurong ointment from Hu Momo, and then asked Su Peisheng to choose A nice pavement.
After Geng Jin went back, he sent a letter to Geng Yin, asking him to come quickly.
When Geng Yin received the letter, his hands were shaking after reading it, and his eye circles were red. He never thought that one day he would be promoted by a nobleman to work for the fourth elder brother.
However, his physical condition is such that it is impossible to go further, but it is enough to make people enviable.
Geng Yin is very contented, and understands that this must be recommended by Geng Jin and Geng Yi, otherwise how would the fourth elder brother know who he is?
He immediately packed up his things and rushed to the capital. After meeting with Geng Jin, Geng Jin taught his younger brother some rules, and then briefly explained how the fourth elder brother behaved: "The fourth elder brother has always been fair and strict, and he is also kind to the people below, but the most important thing is to You must do your job well, and you must not be perfunctory.”
If it is not done well, or if it is perfunctory and lazy, then the fourth elder brother will never be polite!
Geng Yin immediately patted his heart and promised: "Don't worry, brother, I finally got this job, and I will never let this matter go wrong!"
Geng Jin felt at ease with this younger brother who had watched him grow up since he was a child, and said: "I will take you to see the fourth elder brother first, and you will live here in the capital later, and I will pick you up after you settle down." Siblings and children come here."
His younger brother and sister are the daughters of a poor scholar. The scholar repeatedly took the exam for many years, and refused to give up going out to work, leaving the family impoverished. His wife was ill and had no money to treat her. Taking care of the family at an early age, barely growing up, thin and thin and not beautiful enough, dragged on until she got older and couldn't get married.
The elders of the Geng family saw that this girl could endure hardships and be diligent. Whenever she had time, she could read and write.Geng Yin still admired this girl very much. It happened that he was seen by this girl while he was reading and writing by the river.
After studying with Geng Yin for a few years, this girl's reading and writing has become better. It is perfect to come to the capital to help manage the shop together.
It's just that you have to ask the fourth elder brother about this matter, and Geng Jin dared to take his sister-in-law over after he nodded.
When Geng Yin was standing outside Baylor's residence waiting for the transmission, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. The excitement before coming here slowly faded away, and he became a little timid.
Especially since the gate of the mansion is so majestic, will the servants look contemptuous when they see him walking after he enters?
When the fourth elder brother sees himself, although he has heard of it before, it is one thing to hear it, but another thing to see it, and he doesn’t like the one who looks at the slope, will this job be gone?
Geng Yin was uneasy, and was patted on the back by Geng Jin and said, "Go in later and salute properly, so you don't have to think about other things."
Moreover, since the fourth elder brother would choose Geng Yin, he must have sent someone to investigate carefully, and only use it after making sure that the person is trustworthy. How could he change his mind at will?
