"I'm going back to take a shower and get some rest early, I've been really tired from the past two days. ”

The second lady is really tired, and there are some dark shadows under her eyes, which is a symptom of lack of sleep.

Gu Zhirong didn't force her, urging her to go back and rest quickly, and he walked towards Mochiyue Pavilion.

Behind her, Lu Shui and Mu Jin held two wooden boxes, followed closely behind, and Mingyue, carrying a food box, also followed.

The maids of Mochizuki Pavilion wanted to report, but Gu Zhirong stopped them. She wanted to see if Gu Wenxin could survive under the second miss's almost strict education method?

Sure enough, she saw Gu Wenxin lying on the table, her head hanging down, looking dying.

Gu Zhirong walked up, sat down beside her, and comforted: "Sister Wenxin, you're tired, I brought you your favorite glutinous rice duck." ”

Gu Zhirong asked Mingyue to open the food box and bring out the steaming glutinous rice duck as he spoke.

Smelling the fragrance of glutinous rice duck, Gu Wenxin's stomach hooked out all the gluttonous worms, she instantly forgot all her tiredness, immediately raised her head, looked at the food in front of her, and said with a smile: "Sister Rong, you made this for me?"

Gu Zhirong smiled and nodded: "Little gluttonous cat, of course, it is specially made for you, and it is specially rewarded for your hard work in the past two days." ”

"Great. Gu Wenxin was very happy, looking at the crispy duck in yellow Cancan in front of him, his saliva was about to flow out.

"Eat it. Gu Zhirong personally laid down the dishes and chopsticks, filled a small half bowl and handed it to Gu Wenxin, "Try it." Do you want to see if it's delicious?"

Gu Wenxin took it, took a piece with silver chopsticks, and put it in his mouth. Crispy and crispy, smooth but not greasy, she couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious, Sister Rong, how did you make such a delicious thing?"

Gu Zhirong smiled: "Speaking of which, this process is very cumbersome and very laborious. You eat first, and I'll teach you when I'm free. ”

Mingyue on the side said with a smile: "Our young lady didn't lie to you, it really took a lot of effort to make this glutinous rice duck." The young lady did it all afternoon. First of all, the duck after slaughter and dehairing is cut through the neck, all the bones and internal organs are removed, and the feet are removed. Become a boned whole duck. Then mix glutinous rice, lean meat, ham, shiitake mushrooms, pineapple, cashew nuts, red dates and other nutritious ingredients together and stuff them into the belly of the duck..."

Gu Wenxin was dizzy when he heard this, and his whole face suddenly collapsed: "Sister Rong, you and the second sister can do anything." There are also four sisters. Embroidery is famous, but I don't know anything. Speaking of this, she thought of the scolding she had received in the past two days, "I seem to be the stupidest one among you." ”

She hung her head in shame as she spoke.

Gu Zhirong hurriedly patted Gu Wenxin's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, this dish is not difficult to make, you are so smart, you will definitely learn it as soon as you learn it." ”

"But ......," Gu Wenxin remembered the results of the past two days. I felt discouraged, "The second sister said I was stupid." You can't learn anything if you teach. ”

"What's this?" Gu Zhirong comforted her, "Am I not the same?" you must be extremely tired from studying hard in the past two days. Actually, just learn the basic etiquette, what the second sister taught you are all palace etiquette, and you can use it in the future, so you must learn it, so as not to fall into the palace and be made fun of in the future. As for the rest, just let it be. ”

"Really?" Gu Wenxin raised his head to look at Gu Zhirong, and asked with some disbelief, "But the second sister said ......?"

Gu Zhirong smiled and shook his head: "Second sister's requirements are too harsh, but she is still good for you." But don't push yourself too hard, just show your most essential and authentic side. Most of the women in the capital look gentle and dignified, but in essence, there are not a few who are twisted, can the prince not see it? You have a pure nature, you did not grow up in a big family, and you are naturally not contaminated with those scheming methods in the big family, which is the most commendable, so if you naturally behave naturally, the prince will definitely notice you. ”

Gu Wenxin raised his head curiously: "Sister Rong, what you said, the second sister has never learned like this, it seems that you know more about the prince." ”

Gu Zhirong was stunned for a moment. Does she know the prince? No, the willful and arrogant prince, how can she understand it? It's just that she has always felt strange and unprovoked, how could the prince be interested in herself? Thinking about it, I am afraid that she has followed her mother and father to go out of office since she was a child, and later went to the Hangji Temple to guard filial piety for three years, and basically has never lived in the home of a big family, and has not been contaminated with the usual rudeness and pretense of the ladies of the big family, so she has attracted the attention of the prince?

She smiled and shook her head: "Actually, I don't know much about the prince, but I have recently taken over the land and shops left by my mother, so it is inevitable that I will have to contact the chamber of commerce in the capital and the Baojian Hall, and I have learned some about the prince's personality from the young master of the Baojian Hall." ”

Gu Wenxin has lived in the capital for a long time, and her mother Le Shanshan runs an embroidery village, and she also deals with Baojiantang from time to time, the reputation of the young master is like thunder, and now when she hears Gu Zhirong say this, she hurriedly asks: "Is Sister Rong very familiar with the young master of Baojiantang?"

"I'm familiar with business dealings. Gu Zhirong didn't want to say too much off-topic, and looked at the plate of glutinous rice and eight-treasure duck on the table, "Sister Wenxin, let's eat it quickly, otherwise it will be cold." ”

Gu Wenxin happily ate it, and said while eating: "Sister Rong, you are so good, now you have begun to learn to manage things in the shop." My mother always thinks I'm too small and doesn't let me interfere, it seems that I, as a sister, need to learn more from you. Also, can you introduce me to the young master of the Baojian Hall? I have heard my mother say that this person has great powers and a very mysterious background, and if I can get his help, my mother's embroidery village will definitely become bigger and bigger. ”

Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "Okay, when I have time, I will definitely introduce the young master to you." ”

Gu Wenxin suddenly remembered that Gu Zhirong hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he pulled her to sit down and pointed to the large plate of glutinous rice duck: "Sister Rong has worked hard all afternoon, let's sit down and eat together." Otherwise, I won't be able to finish such a big plate, sister. ”

Gu Zhirong didn't shirk either, sat down, and beckoned Yahuan Mingyue, Lu Shui and Mu Jin, as well as Gu Wenxin's Yahuan Qiushao to sit down and eat together.

When Mingyue Lushui and the others were in Liuyun Courtyard on weekdays, they understood the habits of their young lady, and they were not polite, so they sat down together. It was Qiu Shao, who was still standing in place, not daring to sit down, only looked at Gu Zhirong suspiciously, and then looked at his own young lady Gu Wenxin.

Gu Wenxin also looked surprised.

Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "Now that the door is closed, the room is full of sisters, so don't be polite." I'm just looking for you for dinner today, in addition to glutinous rice duck, there are several other dishes, and the two of us can't finish it, so let's come over and eat together. ”

After all, Gu Wenxin was a newcomer, and he was still a little hesitant in his heart, and he looked outside.

Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "Sister Wenxin, don't worry, no one in this room is an outsider, in your own house, you don't have to be so polite." ”

As she spoke, she beckoned Qiu Shao: "Sit down." ”

Only then did Qiu Shao eliminate her worries, sit over, and look at Gu Zhirong with a little more novelty in her eyes. She didn't expect that the fifth lady of the Yuanning Hou Mansion would be so unpretentious and approachable. If it is in the embroidery village, the lady is the most courteous, and the slightest mistake will attract a scolding.

After dinner, Gu Zhirong asked Mingyue and the others to take out the things in the two boxes, which turned out to be newly made dresses, and some exquisite headdresses, all of which were newly made. Gu Wenxin was grateful, and the two sisters said a lot of words, and then they went to rest. (To be continued.) )
