Food for the people

The two of you went back and forth a few moves, Qiao Yu was not as proficient as Prince Yan, and was defeated. Although there was no abnormality on his face, but if you looked closely, you would find that the roots of the ears under the black hair were already red. One piece.

My aunt came very quickly, and the breakfast was prepared in advance, served on porcelain white plates and bowls, and brought out the same.

One serving of fresh porridge, two dishes of pasta, some side dishes of meat and vegetables, each of which is very delicately prepared. According to the experience of the past two days, the taste is definitely not bad.

The aunt stood aside, and waited until the servant girl had put everything together, then she bowed and asked Qiao Yu, "Master, the cook is already waiting outside, should I call him in now, or send him in after breakfast."

Qiao Yu was hungry, so he pinched a crystal clear soup dumpling from the plate, bit through the skin, and took a mouthful of hot soup. The soup was rich in flavor and delicious.

"Don't wait, just invite people in now."

Then he turned his head and said to Lu Jincheng, "Try this quickly, it's delicious."

The aunt agreed, raised her head and was about to go out, just as she saw her prince eating half of the soup dumpling that was brought to his mouth, and unconsciously sucked Young Master Qiao's finger.

The aunt was horrified, she quickly lowered her head, and left as if she hadn't seen anything.

Qiao Yu withdrew her hand abruptly, and said, "Auntie has seen it all, so restrain yourself."

Without raising his head, Lu Jincheng filled Qiao Yu with a bowl of porridge: "But I ate half a soup dumpling, so what's the point?"

He pretended to be serious, and Qiao Yu couldn't go into details. He took the wet handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands, took the porridge that Lu Jin presented, and drank it silently.

The aunt came in with someone, but this time she didn't even dare to raise her head, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't see again, she stood by the table and let the people behind her come over, and said, "Master Qiao, this is Bieyuan. the cook here."

Qiao Yu looked up, and found that the cook was completely different from what he had imagined. He was not a middle-aged man, but a man who was not much older than him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall, and very energetic.

As soon as he saw the two of them, he quickly knelt down and saluted, and said: "Little Zhao Kang, please greet the prince, Mr. Qiao."

"I heard from my aunt that the young master called me. I don't know what to order?"

He was energetic and likable when he spoke, neither humble nor overbearing, with a smile on his face, he raised Qiao Yu's favorability by [-]/[-]% as soon as he came up, Qiao Yu put down the bowl, and said directly: "I see you I'm good at cooking, I'm about to open a restaurant in the city, I want you to come over to help, I want you to come over and ask what you mean."

After finishing speaking, he added: "If you don't want to, I won't force it. Don't worry, it won't affect your work here."

Zhao Kang thought for a while, and didn't nod immediately, but knelt down again and said to Qiao Yu: "Your love, Zhao Kang is very grateful, but I am not alone, and there is a sick mother at home. I can't get rid of the medicine, I have to wait by my side, I really can't travel far."

Hanyang city is not far from here, but it is not close. If Zhao Kang really enters the city, it must be inconvenient to take care of his mother.

His concerns were reasonable, which made Qiao Yu feel a little embarrassed.

But Lu Jincheng asked aloud, "What's your mother's illness?"

"Thank you for your concern. I lost my father when I was young. She worked hard to grow me up alone. The doctor said that I was too hard when I was young. I lost my health. Now that I am old, my vitality and blood are empty. I think it is due to overwork." Zhao Kang replied.

His mother's disease has a deep root, she suffered severe physical loss when she was young, now she has no other way but to support her, it is better in summer when the weather is fine, but when it rains and snows, she suffers from cold, her whole body aches, and the medicine is always on her mouth.

Zhao Kang didn't know much about Lu Jincheng and Qiao Yu. He came to work in the Palace of the Palace just to try his luck. This place was closer to his home, and the money he gave was not bad. He used to help under the hands of his master, but the Palace was still his. The first job he came out to look for was quite satisfactory, but Qiao Yu said that he would invite him to the city, and he was willing in his heart. He was still young, and he had never been to other places when he grew up. Knowing the pearl, he was very happy in his heart.If it wasn't for his mother, he would definitely follow.

But his mother has worked so hard to pull him so big, and he will never be able to leave her at home. He can find her again when things are gone, and there is only one mother.His mother already felt that she was his burden, if she knew that he had such a chance to leave home, she would definitely let him down, so Zhao Kang made up his mind, if Mr. Qiao insisted on letting him go, he would resign The workers in this other garden should find another job.

Zhao Kang secretly made up his mind, but suddenly he heard Lu Jincheng say: "If you let your mother go with you, would you still think about it?"

"I have a doctor in my house. I think it should be better than the doctor you found. I can also catch you the medicine your mother needs, how about it?"

Lu Jincheng stunned both Zhao Kang and Qiao Yu with a few sentences. Of course, Qiao Yu quickly understood who he was for, and was quite moved in his heart, but he couldn't show it too much in front of Zhao Kang on the surface, so he had to accept it. The teapot poured a cup of tea for Prince Yan graciously, and put it in Lu Jincheng's hand with a smile.

Zhao Kang is not as clear-headed as he is. When his aunt came, he only told him that the prince and a young man surnamed Qiao were looking for him. He was very thoughtful, but he didn't guess the relationship between the two. Seeing what Lu Jincheng said , Hastily knelt down.

"The grassroots are poor and lowly, and they cannot afford such a great favor from the prince."

Although he was somewhat confident in his skills, he still knew that he was worth a lot. Hanyang City was such a big place that he couldn't find a suitable cook. Lu Jincheng praised him so much, which really made him a little panicked.

Lu Jincheng wasn't thinking about Zhao Kang at all. He looked down at the tea in his hand, and then at Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu was sitting upright, as if it wasn't him who took the opportunity to scratch his palm just now. Seeing Lu Jin Cheng looked over, and smiled at him with a bright face, he laughed so hard that he couldn't bear it, and said absent-mindedly.

"I'm not for you. I asked you whether to go or not, and you said yes."

Zhao Kang pondered for a moment, then kowtowed to Lu Jincheng.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. I'll go back and tell my mother. Whenever my lord wants me, I'll be there right away."

He was terrified because he was terrified, but he would never let go of this opportunity, not to mention that he wanted to go, even if he didn't want to, after Lu Jincheng said such a thing, he also wanted to.

He only has so much money a month, even if he hires a doctor, what kind of doctor can he hire? His mother's illness can't be cured, and he only depends on medicine to hang on. With his little money, he can't afford any good medicine of.

But now Lu Jincheng has promised that as long as he goes, his mother's medicine will be caught by the palace and given to him. It must be much better than the medicine he can afford, not for himself, but for him Mother, he will definitely agree.

"We are returning today, and we wanted you to go with us. If that is the case, you should go home and get ready. When you are ready, come to Bieyuan and let us know. There will be a carriage to take you over. You don't have to worry about the place to live. Divide a separate yard, no outsiders will disturb."

It can be said that Lu Jincheng solved all his worries at once.

Although it was just a little effort for him, it was a great favor for Zhao Kang. He kowtowed a few more times after hearing the words, agreed repeatedly, and then left without disturbing.

As soon as Zhao Kang walked away, Qiao Yu was caught on the back.

Lu Jincheng took a sip of tea, rubbed his fingertips on his wrist a few times, raised his eyes and said, "Now you can rest assured?"

Qiao Yu nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry, the prince is mighty, the prince is powerful."

Lu Jincheng glanced at him when he heard the words, "Always boast nicely."

With a little movement, it scurry around like a rabbit.

But Lu Jincheng didn't say this, because he also loves the rabbit-like Qiao Yu.

Having met Zhao Kang, it finally solved an important matter in Qiao Yu's mind. They had to go back to the city early today. After breakfast, they didn't stay any longer. After ordering Zhao Kang's affairs, they drove to get ready Back to town.

I slept well the night before, but Qiao Yu didn't sleep for a while on the way back this time. He kept his eyes open and looked out of the window with great interest, but Lu Jincheng closed his eyes and fell on Qiao Yu halfway, and he didn't know why. Asleep, or on purpose.

As soon as the carriage entered the city, Qiao Yu saw Sanqi waiting there at the gate of the city. Seeing their carriage's eyes lit up, he quickly came up to them, stood beside the carriage and asked courteously, "How is your son doing?" ? Then the Bieyuan is still in your favor?"

Qiao Yu lifted the curtain from the window, nodded and hummed.

"I went to Luoxia Mountain, the scenery is really beautiful."

Sanqi climbed into the carriage neatly, sat with the driver, carefully turned his head to look inside the carriage, but did not see his prince, and asked in surprise: "Didn't the prince come back with the young master?"

Lu Jincheng was pillowed on Qiao Yu's lap. Hearing this, he turned over and put his arms around Qiao Yu's waist. He closed his eyes and reprimanded, "It's long-winded."

Sanqi was taken aback, and took another look inside, only to see that his prince was lying on Mr. Qiao's body. He sighed in his heart that he was talkative, and he was too scared to ask any more questions. The coachman stared intently at the side.

"How is my brother?" Qiao Yu asked aloud after walking two steps.

Sanqi quickly replied: "Okay, I have already sent the young master to the academy. I told him last night that the young master and the prince went to enjoy the spring outside the city. The young master didn't say anything. He just asked the young master when you will come back. I told him the truth." Having said that, the young master didn’t ask any more questions. In the morning, I said I was going out to buy some things for the young master to bring, but he didn’t agree, so he mixed wontons himself and brought them, which was wrapped by Aunt Qiufeng yesterday.”

When Sanqi said this, Qiao Yu still felt a little guilty. He knew that his family, Qiao Ling, was sensible, but it made him feel distressed.

"This time I was in a hurry, so I came here at will, next time I will take Xiaoling with me." As if he knew what he was thinking, Lu Jincheng leaned on his lap and said.

Qiao Yu nodded and hummed, feeling Lu Jincheng's breath through his clothes onto his stomach, burning that piece of skin, making it crispy and numb.

The carriage did not enter the palace, and everyone knew that when Qiao Yu was around, the carriage must be delivered outside Qiao's courtyard.

So I didn't turn to South Street, but went straight to West Street.

The carriage wobbled into the alley and stopped outside the gate of Qiao Yu's house. As soon as Sanqi got out of the carriage and was about to invite Lu Jincheng and Qiao Yu down, a woman came out of nowhere.

The woman's willow eyebrows stood upright, her eyes were completely red and swollen as if she had cried all night, her dark green clothes were wrinkled, and she walked towards the carriage regardless.

Sanqi had an intuition that the visitor was not kind, so he scolded: "Stop, what are you doing!"

Before the woman could speak, another man came out from the side, grabbed the woman's hand and pulled it back. The woman shook her hand suddenly, and shouted at the carriage: "Qiao Sheng, I know you are inside, come out for me." !"

Qiao Yu frowned when she heard the voice, lifted the curtains of the car and looked outside, who was it if it wasn't Zhao's naughty aunt and her strict husband Zhao Deshen.
