Chapter 031: Request
"Brother Fang, don't be so serious, listen to your brother first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhu Ye knew that Mo'er must have misunderstood him, and not only explained: "Although it was Miao'er who recommended you to me, Brother Fang, but the name of the Jade Treasure Pavilion, Brother I also heard about it from a few friends who have business dealings. Originally, I wanted to ask Miao'er to help me ask Ming Lao for help, but I learned from Miao Er that Ming Lao had something to do and would go out for a while, and he would find someone to help take care of the Jade Treasure Pavilion for a while......"
"But my mother's situation is getting worse and worse, and I really can't wait, so I have to order someone to go to Yuzhou to invite Mr. Wu, who once taught my second brother the pickling skills, who knows that Mr. Wu has been sick in recent years and has been lying in bed. Now the pickle shop is completely managed by his eldest son, Gu Sauce, who has done his best, so my people invited Gu Sauce over. ”
"But a few days ago, I went to the Jade Building for dinner again, and Miao Er told me that the person who helped Ming Lao take care of the Jade Treasure Pavilion came to take over, and I not only hurriedly wrote a letter of worship for Xia Jiang to send." At this time, Zhu Ye's eyes that were covered by fat and only had a trace of slits were furious, "Xia Jiang's restless old thing, actually found a poor scholar who relied on selling calligraphy and paintings on the street, imitated my handwriting, changed the content on the worship post for a time, and copied a copy of it and sent it to the Jade Treasure Pavilion." ”
Mo'er had already seen that the smiling tiger Xia Jiang was not a good thing, but she didn't expect this guy to be so bold that he would dare to tamper with the master's worship!
"Master Zhu, I don't understand, even if your mansion goes to Yuzhou first to invite the ancient boss over, there is no need for Steward Xia to tamper with the time of the post. Unless......" Mo'er raised her eyebrows and said firmly; "Unless you do this, you can get him some kind of benefit?! For example - you take a wife and take a concubine or something! ”
Zhu Ye looked surprised, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so thoughtful, and he could guess Xia Jiang's intentions just by saying a few words.
He nodded appreciatively to Mo'er before saying, "Yes, Xia Jiang has always been delusional about letting his sister be my equal wife."
"He's a good one!" Mo'er laughed, "When his sister becomes Zhu Ye's wife, he will be successfully promoted to your brother-in-law, and then, you will marry a wife again, and his identity as a wife of the housekeeper and sister is more of a means to make his wife infertile, and then his sister will be pregnant with your flesh and blood, and even give birth to the eldest son, then the young master of the Zhu family firm nailed to the board!" ”
Before the words fell, Mo'er said again: "Now there is only one point, I can't figure it out, and I ask Zhu Ye to solve my doubts."
"Haha, Brother Fang, please ask." Zhu Ye is now more and more appreciative of this young little brother of the Jade Treasure Pavilion.
Mo'er said: "Xia Jiang is just a steward in Zhufu, no matter how high his position is, he is just a house slave, why is he so sure that after this matter, Zhu Ye, you will marry his sister as a flat wife?" ”
Zhu Ye suddenly sighed before he replied: "Brother Fang, do you know that this Xia Jiang is not an ordinary house slave in my house, but a distant relative of mine. ”
It turned out that Xia Jiang's grandmother and Zhu Ye's maternal grandmother were cousins, but because one of these two cousins grew up in the south and the other grew up in the north, they have only met so many times or three times in their lives, and they can be regarded as knowing each other's existence, but the relationship is not familiar, and it is not as good as a close neighbor.
Later, after the death of Zhu Ye's cousin, the only only daughter because there was no brother at home to support the door, the husband was gone early, and the orphans and widows were not only often bullied by the mother-in-law's concubines, but also saw that the days were not as good as the day, so she remembered her cousin's family in the south, she wrote a letter, and put the token that could prove her identity in the letter and asked the husband's friend who was far away to the south to deliver the goods to help her go a little.
After reading the letter, Zhu Ye's mother learned that the distant cousin was not doing well, so she sent someone to pick up their orphan and widow.
At that time, Zhu Ye's mother had just married into the Zhu Mansion, and she had no children and no daughters, so she treated Xia Jiang, a distant nephew of her mother's family, as a son.
And if this family business is completed, it can be regarded as a kiss and a kiss, and the old people have always liked to miss the old, and they must be happy.
If Gu Sauce really brewed the pickled cucumber that Zhu Er Ye pickled for Mrs. Zhu, and Steward Xia successfully made an affair with Gu Sauce again, then they would definitely use Zhu Ye's filial piety to his mother as a threat to force Zhu Ye to marry his sister.
So no matter what, Xia Jiang won't let Mo'er and them ruin his big deal.
When Mo'er knew about Xia Jiang's conspiracy, she also understood that Zhu Ye invited them over, not because of Fang Miao, not because he wanted to play tricks on them, but because he really wanted Mo'er to help him!
After figuring out all this, I don't know Mo'er, and the crystal is also angry.
"Actually, when we arrived at the cellar just now, you already knew about it, Master Zhu." Mo'er pointed out Zhu Ye's intentions, "I deliberately pretended not to find out, so that I could see clearly the process of pickling that pickled cucumber when Boss Nagu was unsuspecting next time." ”
Zhu Ye smiled and nodded: "If Brother Fang's identity is exposed, this Gu boss will definitely not pickle cucumbers in front of you anymore." Moreover, I can see that he is very confident in himself, so Brother Fang, you must pickle it out at the same time as the pickled cucumber he pickles tomorrow. Having said that, Zhu Ye's meaning has been made very clear.
"Zhu Ye has so much confidence in me?" Mo'er asked Zhu Ye.
However, Zhu Ye gave an answer that surprised Mo'er: "I believe in the signboard of the Jade Treasure Pavilion. ”
He said this sentence so loudly that Mo'er had no reason to refuse.
The crystal on the side suddenly agreed before Mo'er, "Master Zhu, don't worry." With your trust in our Jade Treasure Pavilion signboard, we will not let you down! ”
Zhu Ye was overjoyed, "Then Zhu has thanked the two of you from here......"
"Wait!" Before Zhu Ye's words fell, Mo'er unexpectedly stopped him.
Crystal and Zhu Ye were both stunned.
"Fang Mo, what do you mean by your name wait?" asked out loud, "Did you regret it and didn't want to help Zhu Ye?" ”
That's what he said, but in fact, in Crystal's heart, he didn't think so at all. She just felt that she was the first to question, and Mo'er explained that it was better than being questioned by Zhu Ye.
Thinking in his heart, the crystal not only glanced at Mo'er when Zhu Ye was not paying attention.
Mo'er really praised this choking wit.
Catching up with Zhu Ye's unfinished eyes, Mo'er suddenly made a request, "Master Zhu, if it's convenient, please let me meet Old Madam Zhu alone." ”
Zhu Ye didn't understand Mo'er's intentions, and didn't reply immediately, but asked, "I want to know, why did Brother Fang see his mother alone?"
"Yes, why do you want to see Old Madam Zhu alone?" Crystals are equally puzzled.
Mo'er had expected that her request was rather abrupt, not only explaining: "A real chef to reproduce a dish, in addition to knowing the method of the dish, must also understand the feelings of the people who eat the dish, which is very important for the reproduced dish, which can be said to be its soul."
"Why do you want to recreate that lost dish, you want to taste the familiar taste when something happens, and it's more about reminiscing about the past."
And when each dishmaker makes this dish, he faces different people and has different intentions for him, so Mo'er doesn't think that even if she makes the same taste as those pickled cucumbers pickled by Zhu Erye during his lifetime, she can get away with it.
After all, she had a bold conjecture in her heart - Mrs. Zhu, in fact, guessed something from the reactions of Zhu Ye or the people around her, but she was just unwilling to pick and choose to pretend to be stupid.
Therefore, Mo'er proposed to Zhu Ye to see Mrs. Zhu, in fact, she wanted to confirm her conjecture.
If this conjecture is correct, then she can move on to the next step.
Of course, she didn't want to tell Zhu Ye about all this for the time being.
Mo'er's reason is very convincing, Zhu Ye not only agreed to her.
But-"My mother is still taking lunch now, Brother Fang, I'm afraid I'll have to wait." ”
"It's okay, you can wait later."
"In that case, my brother asked Brother Fang and Crystal Girl to arrange a guest room, and by the way, the two of them would have lunch at the house." While Zhu Ye said this, he immediately called someone to Zhang Luo, and the level of enthusiasm did not give Mo'er a chance to refuse at all.
This lunch was arranged in the back garden of the Zhu Mansion, the rich water pavilion built on the artificial lake.
In addition to the three of Mo'er Crystal Zhu Ye, there were also Fang Miao, Gu Jiang, Xia Jiang, and Xia Jiang's sister Xia He, who were invited by Zhu Ye to the Jade Building.
Although it was the first time to meet this Xia He, Mo'er actually had a feeling that she had known each other for many years.
It's not because of how amiable or virtuous this Xia He person looks, but because of her words and deeds, taste and clothes, she really looks like Mo'er's aunt Dongfang Yuzhu.
If it weren't for the fact that they looked different, and her father really only had one sister, she would have almost mistaken this Xia He for her aunt's twin sister!
Especially the tone of pretending to do things, "Big cousin, this black chicken and ginseng soup is the most nourishing, it was boiled out by He'er after staying up all morning, you can drink a few more bowls." You see, you've lost a lot of weight these days for your cousin's business. ”
Similar to this kind of words, Mo'er listened to it for a long time, and she became immune. But it was Crystal, the first time he saw this kind of scene, he almost lost his opinion and squirted out the food in his mouth.
Originally, Crystal thought that Mo'er would react the same way as herself, but after she peeked at Mo'er beside her, she found that she was depressed when she was calmly and unhurriedly drinking the black chicken ginseng soup that "He'er" had made for her cousin!
Why, Fang Mo is so calm?
Her gaze quietly swept over everyone's faces again, and when she found that only Gu Jiang had the same reaction as her, she suddenly felt a little relieved, at least, she was not the only one who felt that this Xia He was too fake! (To be continued)
