Chapter 6: Punishing the Cook

When I went out, the pomegranate came back with a basket, and I could smell the rancid smell of rice before it was served, as for the plate of fried kidney beans, I pulled it twice with chopsticks, and Gu Xiangyi put down the chopsticks without even tasting it.

"What's the matter, girl, isn't this a good dish?" asked Pomegranate.

She has been living a hard life for a long time, and she pours leftovers into her stomach every day, and she can't even imagine what those delicacies taste like. But Gu Xiangyi is different, she is a noble girl of Jiangmen, where has she ever eaten such a foolish thing?

"Kidney beans are still alive. Gu Xiangyi looked at the plate of kidney beans, and her face was cold: "It seems that I really got off to a good start yesterday." ”

"What do you mean, girl?"

Looking at the pomegranate with a slightly round face, Gu Xiangyi sighed secretly, and only said: "Unbroken kidney beans are poisonous. ”

"How dare these kitchen lambs treat girls like this!" Pomegranate's face turned red.

The kitchen's neglect of Gu Xiangyi is not a day or two, looking at the entire Gu family, except for pomegranates, no one regards Gu Xiangyi as the master, and no matter how bad the rice is on weekdays, it is the first time that this unbroken kidney bean has been delivered.

I'm afraid it was ordered by the eldest lady, if Gu Xiangyi fell ill, the family would never let her die in the house in order to get rid of bad luck, so she could be fooled in terms of food, as long as she didn't starve to death. But yesterday, Gu Xiangyi made a big fuss in Huanxiangyuan, and the eldest lady was obviously angry.

It goes without saying who ordered the kitchen to make things difficult for He Yinju.

"If I endure such trivial matters, they may not be able to do anything against me. Gu Xiangyi got up and said, "Let's go to the kitchen." ”

Pomegranate hurriedly stopped.

Like her, a servant went to the kitchen and was sneered, if the girl went, the old fritters in the kitchen would not say how bad the words were, and Pomegranate did not want her to listen to the ridicule of others.

But Gu Xiangyi thought thoroughly, if she gave in on food today, I am afraid that someone would dare to put horse manure on a plate and bring it to tomorrow, where she should not give in, Gu Xiangyi would step on her feet tightly, and no one would bully her!

The big kitchen in the house is equal to the soul of the whole family, and everyone in the house is doing their own job and is busy with their heads down.

"Who made me breakfast today?" Gu Xiangyi slapped his palm on the vacant cutting board, and the sound suddenly attracted the attention of many people.

Kitchen manager Ding stood up from the rocking chair lazily, squinted his eyes and looked at the person who came, and couldn't help sneering when he saw that it was the sixth girl.

"The wind is not small today, and it actually blew the six girls into our kitchen. ”

"Looks like anything in this house dares to come and step on me. Gu Xiangyi asked coldly, "Who is making breakfast for me today?" ”

Before coming, Gu Xiangyi made a brief inquiry about Pomegranate. Now the steward in this kitchen is the dowry of the eldest lady.

The smile on the corner of Steward Ding's mouth was very strong, but the smile was like a thief's smile, and it looked obscene.

A fat-headed and big-eared cook walked over, and Steward Ding said, "It's him, an old man of our Bofu for more than ten years." ”

Gu Xiangyi walked up to the cook and asked, "You made today's breakfast?"

The contempt of the cook's speech made Steward Ding very satisfied: "Did the sixth girl come to reward me because she thought it was delicious?"

"Yes, it's a tip. The smile on Gu Xiangyi's face was gentle, but he raised his hand and slapped it violently, which suddenly made a red slap mark appear on his fat oily face, and Pomegranate was taken aback, and clearly saw that the flesh on his face was trembling.

Steward Ding was also shocked.

"What are you doing here!" asked Steward Ding angrily.

Gu Xiangyi turned his head slowly, and saw the hideous face of Steward Ding opposite, as if he was going to eat her: "This cook is not suitable for this errand, he can not care about my diet like this, but I am afraid that he will not take care of other masters." ”

Mother Zhou passed the word for the eldest lady, let the kitchen move her hands and feet, and couldn't let Gu Xiangyi be too proud, she didn't admit that the current Gu Xiangyi was not the original temperament that was handled by others, this slap was so hard that even Steward Ding felt a pain on his face.

"He has served in our uncle's mansion for more than ten years, and he has never made a mistake, six girls, don't mess with people's hats!"

Seeing Gu Xiangyi nodding slightly, Pomegranate took out the plate of fried kidney beans from the basket and put it on the cutting board on the side.

"What if you don't cook something? Even the eldest lady can't say a word about me here!" The beaten cook pointed at Gu Xiangyi and scolded: "You little bastard, be careful that the eldest lady blows you out!"

The piercing scolding of the pomegranate's face turned red.

Gu Xiangyi said in a light tone: "The eldest lady is your backer?"

"You can't take care of it!" the cook roared, and reached out to pull aside the pomegranate chop that was in the middle, and nearly fell her.

Unhurriedly raised her wrist, Gu Xiangyi looked at the cook and said, "Since you are willing to fool people, then I will help you, I have to let you come and go." ”

The pain on the cook's face has not subsided: "What do you mean?"

Gu Xiangyi smiled faintly, just like the indifference when she slapped him, but the movements in her hands were not as simple as her smile, and the dishes on the plate were directly raised to the cook's face.

"You!" Steward Ding raised his hand to beat.

But the movement of his hand was stunned, and when Steward Ding saw the person outside the door, he didn't dare to do it again.

"Big... Big Grandma!"

Gu Fei's embroidered eyebrows were upside down, staring at Steward Ding deadly, Gu Xiangyi looked over and recognized the person. The eldest sister of Gu Hengjun, the eldest sister of Zhongyi, and Gu Xiangyi's aunt.

The older generation of the Gu family went early, and Gu Fei, as the eldest sister, carried the whole family alone, so that the Gu family did not fall into the elite circle in Beijing.

Even if he is married now, no one dares to say more than half a word about the Gu family, who doesn't know that the Gu family sister is not easy to mess with? The two younger brothers, one trained into a military general, and the other into a civil official, Gu Fei's credit here is not finished in three or two sentences.

"If I don't come back for a while, you slaves dare to treat my niece like this?"

As soon as Gu Fei spoke, Steward Ding didn't dare to raise his head in fright, and knelt on the ground and made compensation: "Grandma misunderstood, how dare the slave..."

"The lady in charge of the family is really not a person, she actually forced the concubine to have no way to live, Sister Xiang is fine, if she really loses her life, I will not be finished with the Fu family! ”

The sweat on the corner of Steward Ding's forehead smashed a big drop, and there was not half a word of extra nonsense, let alone explain and blame.

Gu Xiangyi hurriedly saluted: "Xiangyi has seen my aunt." ”

"Good boy, get up. Gu Fei frowned and looked at her: "It's really pitiful, why are you so much thinner than the last time I came back?

Steward Ding rubbed his knees in Gu Fei's direction and kowtowed violently.

When Pomegranate saw that her girl's backer had returned, she immediately knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes: "Ask grandma to give her a way to live! The kitchen has sent uninterrupted food this morning, this is to poison the girl! The girl has come back from the ghost gate, and until now the house has not invited a man to come and take a look, so the girl will be trampled to death!"

Hearing this, Gu Fei frowned and looked at Steward Ding, directly picked up the kitchen knife on the cutting board and threw it on the ground, and everyone in the kitchen trembled with a loud noise.

"I don't care which lady you are marrying with, and no matter which lady you are promoted, this uncle will always have my part in speaking! Get out of here and get punished! If there is such a thing, you can choose your own choice if you chop your hands and stomp your feet!"

Gu Xiangyi was very puzzled, why was this aunt so good to herself?

"With my aunt here, don't be afraid. Gu Fei held Gu Xiangyi's little face with both hands, looked at the strangulation marks on her neck distressedly, and turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Fu Zhirong had just learned that her eldest sister had returned, and she was so frightened that she couldn't hold the teacup steadily, and when she was about to find a way, she saw Gu Fei take Gu Xiangyi into the Huanxiang Garden.

"Go find the official!" Fu Zhirong instructed Zhou's mother.

After entering the house, Gu Fei didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Sister Xiang is Rong Yan's only flesh and blood, Rong Yan has served me for many years, it was from my room, you treat Sister Xiang badly, is this to slap me in the face as the eldest sister?"
