Chapter 17: Chicken Soup
After Su Fangyuan led Guo's mother away, Su Qi was not idle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
These days, she deliberately pretended to be stupid, and finally let Su Fangyuan take off her guard a little, but Su Qi knew very well in her heart that Su Fangyuan was cautious and suspicious, no matter how much she acted and how she surrendered, as long as she lived and threatened her status one day, she would not let herself go.
Although he had more memories of a lifetime, after returning to Su Mansion, Su Qi still took a lot of effort to understand the situation in Su Mansion clearly, and it happened that Su Qingyuan was still in the mansion and did not go out to do business, Su Qi understood that it was time to put that matter on the agenda.
Taking advantage of Su Fangyuan's visit to the Compassion Hall, Su Qi went to the kitchen of the Su family alone. The kitchen of the richest man in Jiangnan is different from the kitchen of ordinary people, and the rich decoration, a variety of dishes, and busy people make this place the most lively place in Su Mansion. Su Qi took advantage of the crowd to crowd into the kitchen, and cautiously walked around to the stove where chicken soup was stewed.
Su Qi stared intently at the fragrant chicken soup boiling in front of him, and suddenly remembered when he was in the countryside. At that time, the family was poor and white, and even rice was extremely difficult to eat, let alone eating chicken and meat. But at that time, life was obviously very hard, but she only felt sweet in her heart, and at that time their family lived happily together......
Forcing herself to stop thinking nonsense, Su Qi glanced around to make sure that no one noticed her, so she quickly opened the lid of the pot, and poured the white powder hidden in her sleeve into the soup without caring about the heat.
This is the sweat medicine she received from Mrs. Fang before, and the amount should be enough for Su Fangyuan to enjoy.
After doing everything, Su Qi left the kitchen with a calm expression, took a shortcut back to Lanxiangju, and when he went back, Su Qi had a few more white plums in his hand.
As soon as Su Qi stepped into Lanxiangju with his front foot, Su Fangyuan came back with Zhishu on his hind foot. After saying hello to Su Qi, Su Fangyuan called Zhihua into the back room.
"When I wasn't in the yard, what was Su Qike's movement?" asked Su Fangyuan straight to the point.
Zhiying showed hesitation, as if he was trying to remember.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her every move?
Zhihua was shocked by Su Fangyuan's knife-like gaze, and his body trembled, and he trembled: "Go back...... Miss, you are not here, she didn't do anything, just went out to fold a few plum blossoms and came back, saying that it was very fragrant in the room, you might like it......"
As for when Su Qi went out and how long he went out, Zhihua didn't dare to say more. At that moment, she just wanted to leave in front of Su Fangyuan immediately, the eldest lady's eyes were too scary, and she seriously suspected that staying with the eldest lady for a while would cost her life.
Looking at the cowardly appearance of Zhihua, Su Fangyuan was really depressed in her heart! This girl was chosen by Xu Lian for her at the beginning, how could she be dissatisfied, but it is better to be stupid than to eat inside and out, at least this girl understands who the master she can really rely on is. Now she is still too young and fledgling, there is no other choice but to restrain her edge and forbear, she can't send this stupid girl away, because after sending her away, maybe Xu Lian will put a role next to her.
"Alright, you go out first, keep an eye on her, and tell me anything unusual. ”
Zhihua hurriedly retreated.
"Ouch, my eldest miss, who is this who upsets you?" Guo's mother, who was wearing a scarlet gown and a fallen horse bun, found out that something was wrong with her young lady as soon as she entered the room, and then recalled that Shicai had a look of grievance on her face, and Guo's mother suddenly had a guess in her heart, "Is it Su Qi's girl?" Miss rest assured, the old slave will definitely 'teach' her for Miss. ”
Su Fangyuan had a tired look on her face, "It's nothing." "There are some things that can't be said clearly, and even if they are clear, others may not be able to understand them, so it's better not to mention them.
Guo's mother didn't ask any more questions, and turned to another conversation: "According to your instructions, the old slave has already inquired clearly, the master is talking about a Yunjin business with a businessman from the Mourning Prison Country this time, but it's just ......"
"It's just that Jin Mantang is in the way, and the envoy of the Mourning Kingdom has decided to give up cooperating with Daddy, right?" Su Fangyuan said expressionlessly.
"That's right, I heard that this business is very important to the Su family, and the master is already in a hurry for this matter. ”
"Yunjin, looking at the entire Jiangnan, my Su family's Yunjin recognizes the second, and no one can recognize the first. It's just that Jin Mantang is spreading rumors everywhere that my Su family's Yunjin is just empty and has a poor texture, and that Daddy secretly collects dead people's clothes and resells them, which greatly affects the reputation of the Su family!
The more Su Fangyuan spoke, the more angry she became, and in the end, her nails almost got into the flesh. Now that she is the eldest lady of the Su family, the Su family's business is affected, and it is also affecting her financial future, so how can she swallow this breath?
Mother Guo's eyes kept rolling in the frame, and it had only been a long time, and the eldest lady had already understood the whole story. It seems that this eldest lady's means and skills are more than a star and a half greater than she imagined, and her future future must be limitless!
"Mother Guo, you have to help me do one more thing. Motioning for Guo's mother to come over with her ear, Su Fangyuan whispered a few words in her ear.
After listening to the order, Guo's mother retreated without stopping.
"Miss, it's time for lunch, and the slave and maid will serve you. After Guo's mother left, there was only one Zhishu left in the room. She didn't say much, but this time she was replaced with a beaming smile.
Su Fangyuan bowed slightly, looking at the time, it was indeed time to eat. Looking at the smiling Zhishu, Su Fangyuan couldn't help but nod in her heart, the girls in her courtyard, Zhihua was stupid and stupid, Zhiqin was silent, and the stupid girl Su Qi, one or two of them didn't meet her liking, and only this Zhishu was slightly in line with her wishes.
Lunch is an example of four dishes and one soup, there are not many styles, but all are delicate and rare, and a single stir-fried green dish is made with the painstaking efforts of three chefs.
Su Fangyuan sat alone at the table, serving the book with lunch, but also used it comfortably. It's just that she always lacks a little bit of everyone's temperament when she eats, and she laughs in her heart when she sees the Zhishu who is on the side.
In the end, she is from the countryside, and even if she is a young lady, she still can't get rid of that vulgar atmosphere.
"I'm a little tired, wait for me to rest, tell Zhihua for me, and tell her not to make the slightest mistake. When Su Fangyuan said this, she couldn't help but yawn.
Zhishule replied, the eldest lady rested, and she would be able to have more free time, so how could she not be happy.
After leaving the house, Zhishu went straight to the place where Zhihua was, "Zhihua, the eldest lady is resting, let's go to dinner." ”
"Hey, you're idle, I still have a task to do. The eldest lady asked me to keep an eye on Su Qi, and I ...... now Hey!" Zhihua frowned and said, mentioning Su Fangyuan, her whole person was a little unmotivated.
"What about the Su Qiren?"
"Just now I saw her enter the house, saying that she wanted to practice more of the rules that Guo's mother taught her. ”
Zhishu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Just such a thing can make you wilt like this?" Su Qi is an eight-year-old girl, and she is a heartless girl, so the eldest lady doesn't know what kind of confusion she has committed so that she is extra careful and vigilant, where can we keep an eye on her all the time? In my opinion, even if she borrows a few more eyes, she may not be able to turn over some tricks. ”
The more Zhihua listened, the more she frowned, she thought the same as Zhishu in her heart, but when she thought of Su Fangyuan's eyes, she was stunned in her heart, how could she manage so much.
"You, you still don't admit that you're stupid, even if you want to stare at it, then you have to wait until your stomach is full before staring, right? I heard that there is a new dish today, and if you don't go, you will be eaten up by Zhiqin's people......" Seeing that Zhihua was still hesitant, Zhishu had to directly start and drag her in the direction of the kitchen.
Zhihua sighed, walked quickly to the outside of the house where Su Qi was, and saw that Su Qi was still practicing the rules 'seriously', so he left with Zhishu.
Inside the house, listening to the footsteps that were getting farther and farther away, Su Qi couldn't help but smile on his face.
