"That, I have an injury on my face, so, so ......" Gu Jiayi reluctantly explained under everyone's gaze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, sir. When I saw Ye'er, she was hit by a carriage, so her face was hurt. Mrs. Ji helped explain.
Gu Jiayi turned her head and met Shangji Xuanran's inquiring eyes, she smiled slightly, and counted her response.
"Ahem...... Master Ji coughed suddenly, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Mingxian, help me back to my room. ”
Mrs. Ji grabbed his arm and whispered words of comfort while winking at Mother Lin.
The crowd dispersed. Gu Jiayi also walked out of the hall with the crowd. She walked slowly, gradually falling to the end.
"Miss, please stay." Mother Lin shouted from behind.
"What's the matter with Mom?" She looked at Mother Lin with no surprise on her face.
"The lord loves lotus seed soup, and the lady means that you get up early tomorrow morning and make a bowl of lotus seed soup for the lord himself."
Gu Jiayi was a little surprised, "There shouldn't be any lotus seeds this season, I wonder if the kitchen has any stock?" ”
Mother Lin's expression was a little weird, "This slave doesn't know, the kitchen has always been handled by Aunt Biru." ”
"Oh? The housemother is still here, why is the aunt in charge? ”
"You also know that Madame has been busy looking for you all these years, where can she take care of the affairs of the house, and the old lady is also old, she doesn't have much energy, and the master doesn't have any other concubines, so Aunt Biru will naturally take care of the management of the inner house."
Gu Jiayi's eyebrows ached. When she was in the Gu family before, a second aunt had already made her see the intrigue of the inner house, and now it seems that this Biru is not a fuel-efficient lamp, compared with the second aunt, she is afraid that it will be too much! However, but, she really doesn't know how to fight, so will the so-called fate kill her? What about farming?
Mother Lin explained a few more words, nothing more than careful words and deeds.
Gu Jiayi didn't rush back to the room, so she went straight to the kitchen.
"Who are you?"
As soon as she walked in, she was about to find out if there were any lotus seeds, when she heard a loud shout from behind, and Gu Jiayi, who was stiff in place like a thief, looked at the round woman who walked in.
"I'm just going to see if there are any lotus seeds."
"I've been here for three years, and I've never seen anyone like you in the house. Sneaky, what lotus seeds are you looking for here! ”
"Yo, Mother Wang's temper is really big," Biru walked over slowly, with a proud look, "Miss just came back, no wonder Mother Wang doesn't know her." ”
"Miss? What kind of young lady has been going in and out of this house for three days, and in the end, they have not been kicked out by the master, but I don't know how long this one can stay? Mother Wang picked up Gu Jiayi's chin with a long chopstick and looked at her contemptuously.
Gu Jiayi reached out and gently patted off the chopsticks, looking straight at Mother Wang's eyes. She doesn't understand the inner house, but she won't be angry with a subordinate in vain, no matter how bad she is in the Gu Mansion, no one will dare to talk to her like this, she has never liked to be submissive.
"Mother Wang really likes to joke, those sisters may have pretended to be me before, but I don't want to care about it, why should Mother Wang talk about it? There are many people in the house, but it seems to be restless, which disturbs the old lady's cultivation. ”
The mother Wang straightened her eyes slightly, noticed Biru's eyes, and had to swallow her words back.
"Yes, what Miss taught me is that the slave will remember it." Biru behaved respectfully, but her expression could not hide her arrogance. If Gu Jiayi was only ten years old, she would definitely not notice the coldness in Biru's eyes, but her soul in her twenties had already seen the world, so how could she not find it? But I think Biru is in front of a child, and I don't think there's any need to hide too deeply.
"By the way, did Miss just say something about lotus seeds? It's a coincidence, there is another one in the kitchen, I thought that the lord loves to eat lotus seed soup, and it will be made for the lord tomorrow, since the lady wants to eat, leave it to the miss, the lord loves the miss, and I won't blame it. ”
As soon as Biru finished speaking, the busy people in the entire kitchen raised their heads. Everyone looked at her with disdain, this young lady who had not yet gained a firm foothold, just entered the mansion and came to steal something to eat, and now she is even going to grab lotus seeds with the master!
"Actually, I want to make it for my father!" She argued.
"Miss has a heart. It's just that the old man only loves to eat the taste of slaves and maids, and the young lady is young, so she doesn't think she's very proficient in cooking, right? In fact, you can please the master in other ways! For example, the old man likes to drink the tender tea of the New Year, and likes to eat the peach blossom cake of Gui Kee, and it doesn't take a few dollars, so the heart of the lady is good. ”
She's kidding, right? At this time, it is already approaching summer, where does the new spring tender tea come from, the old tea is still about the same! There is also a peach blossom crisp, haven't the peach blossoms just bloomed??
She held back the anger in her heart, and still said in the same way: "Thank you aunt for reminding me." ”
Sullen back to the room. Defeat in the first battle! If you can't bring lotus seed soup tomorrow, will Mrs. Ji be angry? Eh, I'm so annoyed!
She concentrated on the silver hairpin.
"Wishing bottle, wishing bottle, you tricked me into coming to this place where I shouldn't be every day, and what kind of house fight are you playing, are you trying to kill me? I won't be able to serve lotus seed soup tomorrow, and Mrs. Ji will definitely be disappointed in me! ”
There was no movement in the wishing bottle, but suddenly there was a lotus seed on the table, and there was a note with the steps to make lotus seed soup.
"Yay! I love you so much! Gu Jiayi jumped up excitedly.
Because the yard where she lives is connected to Mrs. Ji's yard, and in the middle is Mrs. Ji's small kitchen, so she can use this kitchen to make lotus seed soup instead of running to the big kitchen outside. If it weren't for the fact that this small kitchen had been useless for a long time, how could there be no lotus seeds? She didn't have to go out of her way to look for it in the big kitchen.
A good night's sleep.
Gu Jiayi got up very early, rolled up her sleeves and followed the steps listed on the note, and soon, a bowl of sweet and delicious lotus seed soup was baked.
She watched from a distance in the yard, and it wasn't until Mother Lin knocked on the door and entered Mrs. Ji's room that she came over with lotus seed soup.
"Ye'er, why is it so early?" Mrs. Ji stood by the door, as if waiting for her, "Ouch, Ye'er is so kind and made lotus seed soup for your father, but it doesn't seem to have a mother's share, my mother doesn't care, my mother is jealous." ”
Gu Jiayi shook her head, who said that Mrs. Ji had no heart? But she still smiled very happily, "Mother, why are you still eating your father's vinegar?" ”
Master Ji smiled and nodded. There are too many girls who have come to pretend to be his deceased daughter, and he has been letting his wife go to find his daughter all these years, but also to let her have some hope in her heart, and he doesn't want her to bear the pain of losing her daughter, so as not to aggravate her condition. Who is this girl, Ji Xuanmo has already told him about her, if she is not greedy for the family's property, and she can really please her wife, even if she stays, what's the matter?
