After Pan Jinlian entered the door, I turned black

The aunt laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, all the pancakes have been delivered to people everywhere this year. There are really not many, and I didn't even leave a few more at home. If you like it, I will ask Yinger to share half of it with you." , and don’t need your money, there will be time in the future.”

The aunt thought that Nanny Li was here to buy pancakes, but I saw Li Nanny's face, but I didn't think so.

I said, "Mommy, I'm afraid there is something else going on?"

Mother Li laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she took my hand and said, "Ying'er doll has good eyes, such a cute daughter, I like it, if only we can stay together in the future."

My aunt and I looked at each other, wondering what Nanny Li said.

Mother Li smiled and said: "A few days ago, Ying'er made peppery noodles and ate them with the young master, but that's not it?"

I nodded.

Nanny Li said again: "You don't know, since I ate the noodles that day, the young master ate well, and even let the other side of the kitchen do it for two days, but I can't make Ying'er's craftsmanship when I come and go. No, I Seeing that the young master has refused to use it for the past two days, I asked clearly and came to welcome Ying'er in person."

The aunt clapped her hands and said with a smile: "You don't have anything to say, you don't need to greet me, but if you want to eat, tell the girl to tell you, just come and take it, and it will take your legwork to come here."

Nanny Li looked at me and said, "It doesn't work. I always know that Mrs. Yao is good at cooking, and the apprentice she wants to teach is also the best."

"I'm here to invite Ying'er. Are you willing to submit to a cook in the mansion?"

Can I say I'm not happy?

Nanny Li and Xiuxiu were in front of Lu Chenqing and recommended me to the kitchen in the house. Lu Chenqing was not happy, but I heard right now, they want to eat what I cook.

Aunt Yao said in shock: "Is there such a thing?"

Nanny Li smiled: "I'm here all the time, what could be wrong? I just want to ask Yinger, do you want to be with Xiuxiu? From now on, the two sisters will have companionship."

Sure enough, Jiang is old and hot, and even Xiuxiu has moved out.

The old man took my hand and said with emotion: "You don't know, I used a lot of methods to eat a few more bites for the young master, and even invited cooks from restaurants and restaurants in Qinghe County one by one. Yes, but he doesn't love it."

"The bowl of noodles you made that day was very suitable for the young master. Later, I heard the young master say that the rattan pepper and ginger you used are very good. I knew that those people in the past had asked the young master about taboos and so on. , you have to tie your hands and feet, and the smell is not right."

"Only you, you can prepare the food vigorously, and you won't be afraid that the young master will taste it after eating it."

When I said this, I could clearly see that Nanny Li was smiling, with a hint of ridicule.

I had no choice but to laugh, I can't say that I put so many big ingredients on purpose, I just thought that Lu Chenqing would choke on it a few times, but he has a very spicy taste.

I said: "I thought you came to Tokyo, and the taste is not very strong, so I want him to taste the taste of the Tongchuan area. I don't want the young master, but I like it."

Mother Li paused for my words, and then laughed again: "You don't know, the young master's mother comes from Tongchuan Fu Road, and they often eat together when they are young, and the mother and son have more or less the same taste."

It turned out that Lu Chenqing's mother was from Tongchuan.

Nanny Li said nervously: "Ying'er doll, are you going or not? To be sure, the monthly payment is the same as five taels of silver for the chef in the mansion, and the settlement is made on a monthly basis. ,what do you think?"

It all depends on whether I agree or not. What Aunt Yao wanted to say, she finally kept her mouth shut.

I know what she means, now the rose pancakes can't be sold, and the income of the family has decreased a lot, now is the time for Yao Fang to work hard, spending a lot of money, Yao Zheng is still young, relying on Second Uncle Yao to do some small work, really Stretched.

I said, "Ma'am, I want to go, do you think so?"

Aunt Yao's eyes turned red: "Ying'er, you don't have to do this. We'll eat as little as possible sooner or later."

I said: "It has nothing to do with you. I want to see the world of the rich family. It's good to be with Xiuxiu. Besides, our family is only a few feet away. I can't come back anytime."

Turning to Madam Li, she said, "Mommy, I want to live at home and work around the house every day, and I can also help my aunt look after the house."

Nanny Li smiled and said, "It's not difficult. You are supposed to do the cooking and desk work, and there are others who do odd jobs. You only do your work, and you can do everything else."

So, let's try it.

I nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

Nanny Li was very happy, as if I would immediately enter Lu's residence and prepare delicious food for Lu Chenqing.

Nanny Li asked again: "Then when can you go? How about today?"

I smiled and said: "The prison mother is worried, but there are some things in the house that have not been taken care of. It will not be until tomorrow or the day at the latest, so I can go."

I gave the exact words, but Nanny Li couldn't say anything, even ordinary people would have to make some preparations at home.

After seeing off Nanny Li, Aunt Yao called me over.

She said: "Ying'er, you really don't have to go to his house, but you said what to do with you?"

I said: "Ma'am, I have nothing to do, I just want to go, don't you think I have nowhere to show my skills?"

Aunt Yao poked my head with her finger, and sighed: "You know what Auntie meant, let's go, there is a wall on the left and right, there is something, but I can take care of it."

I said: "Mother, don't worry, brother Fang will definitely be able to go to high school in the future, you just have to die again, it's more difficult now, it's nothing."

After being coaxed by me a few words, Aunt Yao really laughed and said: "If your brother is really capable, I will accept your good words, Madam, you will also have the support of your brother."

At the end, after thinking for a while, he said: "You should be thirteen now. In two years, my aunt will find you a good marriage. It will not be in vain for you to accompany me."

I don't know how to explain to her that I don't want Lao Shizi's marriage, but I can't say that now.

I retorted: "I don't want any marriage, I will be with you for the rest of my life."

She seemed to have a serious face: "It's not up to you to decide, although Second Uncle Wu...well, it's still early, let's wait."

She didn't seduce my relatives, but I know she really cared about my marriage, otherwise the aunt in the previous life wouldn't run around just to let me marry a good family.

The next day, I came to Lu's mansion with my bag and my aunt accompanying me.

Although I told Nanny Li that I would not stay in the Lu Mansion in the future, my aunt disagreed. It was up to the master's convenience to use money for work, and besides, they were in the next door, so there was no need for me to go back and forth every day. Tiring.

I really can't hold back my aunt, I can only follow her wishes, I want to go home and feel more comfortable, but now I can't.

Someone from the house took me to the side room, Xiuxiu came to see me in a hurry, so she had to say a few more words, and soon she was busy again.

Now that I'm here, I want to know what that girl does on weekdays. Then Lu Chenqing really likes her so much, just because Xiuxiu is like his sister who died young?

In the evening, when I came to the kitchen, many people were already busy inside, so I had to chat with others.

There are not many people in the kitchen, there is Uncle Liu, who is in charge and in charge of cooking, and Aunt Cai is in charge of washing the dishes, Xiaowu and Huzi are the second cooks, and they also serve as food for the whole family in the house. I was so happy to arrive that I almost shook my hand in thanks.

I think so, Lu Chenqing is so difficult to serve, just about eating, the people in the kitchen are racking their brains, and I was specially invited by Madam Li to serve the master and young master, so they can't get in the way side.

After asking the names one by one, I washed my hands and folded dishes, preparing fruit and vegetable dishes.

Uncle Liu, the steward of the kitchen, hurried over and stopped me, not letting me do such a trivial thing.

Uncle Liu said: "Miss Ying'er, don't move around, I won't bother you with this matter, Xiao Wu can wash melons and cut vegetables by herself, you can do it yourself."

I smiled and said: "That's not possible, they have their own skills, I don't think it's a big deal, it's just the young master eating alone."

This is true, although I was invited into the mansion, but with Lu's monthly money, I have to do things, and I said earlier that the four soft sedan chairs would not come to pick me up, this is not washing the pot.

Just as I was about to start, a servant came in from outside, it was Lu Chenqing's book boy who wrote the text.

Uncle Liu saw people first, and said with a smile: "Lai Wen boy is here, and the food is not ready yet!"

Lai Wen smiled, stood at the door and looked in, and said: "No need to do it, Uncle Liu, you tell Miss Ying'er, the young master is going out to meet guests, and he won't be in the house at night."

I came over from the stove and said to him, "I'll take care of it."

After finishing the communication, he left.

Since Lu Chenqing didn't want to eat, I didn't bother to spend the second shift, but I had to leave after unbuttoning my skirt pocket.

Uncle Liu took the spatula down to the noodle soup and said to me, "Miss, take it easy."

I looked at him and saw him smiling and said: "The young master really likes the girl. He didn't eat at home in the past, so he wouldn't come here to explain it. In the future, I will ask Miss Yinger to remind me more."

Now it's all right, Lu Chenqing just sent someone to say, I have become the young master's celebrity in their eyes.

I smiled: "Uncle Liu, what's the matter? I just came today, and I'm not familiar with the rules of the house. In the future, Uncle Liu must remind me."

Seeing what I said, Uncle Liu smiled a little more, and said that he would discuss cooking with me in the future. I said a few words politely, brought a bowl of Xiuxiu's favorite wonton chicken, and went ahead.

Lu Chenqing is not here, so Xiuxiu is free, when I go to the wing, Xiuxiu is really doing needlework.

I smiled and said, "What a lazy girl, she just got lazy when the young master is not around."

Xiuxiu didn't raise her head: "You don't talk too much, it won't hinder me from doing things."

Suddenly, I smelled the aroma of wonton chicken again, and then gave me a look, the eyeballs were shining brightly, and I couldn't wait for me to put it down, so I beckoned to send it over.

I said: "So it's my sister, it's more important than not being able to fill your stomach."

Xiuxiu put down her embroidery work, took the bowl and started to eat.

I saw that she had already embroidered more than half of the lotus with twin stalks on the thread frame. The color matching embroidery was excellent, and the stitches were fine and tight, which showed that she had put her heart into it.

I laughed at her: "Is Jingzhong delivering something again?"

Xiuxiu was surprised: "How do you know?"

I pursed my lips: "This double purse is for Hongxing."

The tips of Xiuxiu's ears turned red immediately, and she reached out to hide the embroidery frame, but I took it and looked carefully.

I said: "Embroiderers are good at it, Xiuxiu, let me meet people sooner or later."

Xiuxiu couldn't snatch it, and she was annoyed immediately: "If you talk about it again, I'm going to do it."

I just made a fuss with her, and handed it to her: "Okay, but just ask, I said you, you keep him in mind, so he can't tell you exactly?"

Aunt Li is the loudest old man in the Lu family except for Lu Chenqing. I heard from Xiuxiu that she was sent by the Jingzhong mansion to take care of Lu Chenqing, and her family is all slaves. If Miao Xiuxiu really has Hongxing, Then whether she stays in Lu's residence, or returns to the Beijing Zhongben's family, there must be an explanation.

Xiuxiu only stared at Bingdi lotus, and murmured in a low voice: "I don't know."

Well, it seems that the two of them didn't think much about it for a long time. Hongxing accompanied him to send things to Qinghe County from time to time, so he was expected to be highly valued in his family. Besides, Nanny Li was appointed by Lu Chenqing's mother, so his status is naturally more precious .

Looking at Xiuxiu's path, it will be really difficult in the future, but I'm not afraid, maybe in a year or two, she will meet the butcher in her previous life, and the affairs of Lu's family will pass by like this.

Xiuxiu put the embroidery tape in the cage, and looked at me seriously: "Ying'er, tell me, I am not too far away from him."

I said, "What do you mean by saying it's far away?"

Xiuxiu smiled wryly: "You still lie to me, he and I don't need to be more noble, we are both slaves, but he is different from me after all, how can I open my mouth."

I sighed: "Xiuxiu, why don't we let this matter go, in the future when you leave the house, what happened to the Lu family will be rare."

Xiuxiu specifically doesn't like to hear my words, but she doesn't stop listening, I always say it.

Xiuxiu shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to," she said and looked at me again: "And it's you who said earlier that the soft sedan chair would invite you not to come, but now you won't come, so it can be seen that most things in the world are uncertain."

I said: "Isn't that right, your young master is honorable, someone should take care of him, and I don't know how grand that Lu Mansion in Beijing is, raising such a master."

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiuxiu covered my mouth, quickly looked out of the window, and then glared at me again: "My grandma, can you live in peace, what you say is also nonsense?"

I was surprised: "What am I talking nonsense?"

Xiuxiu slapped her head: "Yes, I didn't tell you."

"Actually, the place in Beijing is not the Lu family."

I was even more unclear: "How do you say that?"

Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and said: "Anyway, you should do your best to the young master. Because of his appearance, the master and his wife even sent him to Qinghe County. It looks so pitiful."

I frowned and said, "You half-spoken, and you didn't tell me. If I bump into him in the future, don't blame me."

It's strange that Lu Chenqing looks weird, if his father doesn't love his mother, he should feel bad.

I asked again: "What's the matter, you tell me quickly, or I will remember it in my heart, can you bear it?"

Seeing that I was going to scratch her, Xiuxiu quickly waved her hands: "Since that's the case, you don't need to talk about it. In fact, the young master came to our Qinghe County and adopted his mother's surname. In Beijing, he was originally from Cai Taishi's residence."

I said, "Teacher?"

I've heard a lot about this person. In the restaurants and teahouses in the town, I often hear people talking about how he is in the imperial court. I never thought that Lu Chenqing and the grand master in the imperial court have such a relationship?

Xiuxiu looked at me seriously, and said: "The young master is also uncomfortable, don't think he is usually silent, but think about it, if we rush outside every time we don't like our parents, it will be very uncomfortable."

This girl would feel sorry for someone.

"Cough cough."

I was talking with Xiuxiu, when suddenly there was a cough from outside the window, which obviously reminded us both.

Xiuxiu moved quickly, opened the window immediately, and saw someone coming: "Nurse..."

I looked at Nanny Li under the eaves, looked at the two of us with a smile, and said, "The two sisters are talking."

This is considered a small talk about the master, did the master's number one servant hear it?

We were about to explain a few words, when Nanny Li came in by herself, pulled Xiuxiu to sit together, and said: "Just talk here, don't talk outside."

I didn't know that Nanny Li was so good-tempered and didn't annoy us.

I said, "Aren't you angry?"

Nanny Li smiled and nodded my head: "I'm so angry, I don't want to die of anger? You and Xiuxiu are both children of a good family, and Mammy knows it. It's hard for you to think about the young master. Our young master is the grand master." The eighth son, there are several brothers above him, all of whom are in the Jingzhong mansion, except for the sixth young master who is not there."

Speaking of this, Nanny Li refused to say any more. I suddenly wanted to ask, since Lu Chenqing's surname is not Lu, what is his real name?But I dare not ask.

I said: "So it's from Taishi Cai's family. Xiuxiu and I have met a noble person."

Huang Chen also had no luck, so he was put in a place far away from him by his family, but why?

Nanny Li patted Xiuxiu's hand and said: "Don't guess, it's your credit for serving me well. In two days, some officials from the county government and Eunuch Xue who is in charge of Huangzhuang will come to the mansion to greet and welcome you." I'm tired of making the noodles for you."

I smiled and said: "What's the matter, mammy, I'm here right now, I always have to do some work, the young master is not at home for dinner today, so I came to accompany Xiuxiu, I will draw up a list and send it to mammy later."

After hearing this, Nanny Li was even more satisfied: "And set up a table in the inner courtyard. Those officials are all with their families, and they just cook some seasonal fruits and vegetables."

Co-author and bring your family?Lu Chenqing is the only serious master in this mansion, who doesn't care about them if they don't have female relatives?

Xiuxiu then asked what I wanted to ask, Mammy Li sneered and said, "So what if you don't have one? The status of the young master is here, so they just want to get married with the grand master?"

Xiuxiu said in a low voice: "But the young master has already come to our place, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

Nanny Li said: "It's not hard to say? The grand master's parents and children are on the left and right, so how can we still go?"

In the end, Xu felt that he had talked too much in front of Xiuxiu and me today, so he cut off the conversation. I feel sorry for Mammy Li, there are only one or two girls in front of me, there is no one who can talk, and the rest of the family are all in Beijing. In the middle, when people get old, they want to talk to people.

The next day, before dawn, I got up to wash my face and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When I arrived, Uncle Liu and others also arrived.

Everyone said hello and went to work.

Today, Wenwen sent word that I wanted to eat something different ahead of time. I made it according to my intention. When Wenwen came to the kitchen at the second quarter of the hour, I saw that it was ready, so I asked it to be served out.

Today I made peach blossom siu mai, Wen Tao, a plate of pickled melon, which can fill my stomach without worrying.

I was carrying the food box and standing in front of Lu Chenqing's study, I saw that the lamp under the eaves had been removed, and I couldn't see anyone from the sound.

Laiwen said at the door: "Master, breakfast is ready today, would you like some?"

After a long time, there was a voice inside, and the letter signaled me to go in.

I turned my head back into Lu Chenqing's study, with my head slightly lowered, and I didn't dare to look carefully. I only noticed that the shelves in the room were full of books, there were swords on the shelf, and there was even a bow hanging on the wall. Yao Fang is right, Lu Chenqing is indeed good at martial arts.

I put the food on the table, and was about to step back, when I heard Lu Chenqing's voice: "You left?"

I looked at him and wondered if this guy wanted to embarrass me?

I said, "Master, it's time for breakfast."

People under the eaves must bow their heads on both sides, otherwise I will be the one who suffers.

Lu Chenqing put down the pen, rolled up his sleeves and cleaned his hands, walked slowly to the table, and said: "You are not here to serve, but you want to leave? Who taught you the rules?"

I calmly said: "Master, I do cooking, my hands and feet are clumsy, I'm afraid I will neglect the master, Xiuxiu is waiting outside, I will let her in."

I only do food, don't ask me to serve you.
