Chapter 011: The Gentleman Before the Man and the Gentleman After the Man (7)
Gu Yunjin drank two sips of tea before he looked at the strange little maid and asked, "Do you know who the distinguished guest of the Fifth Master is today?" β
The little maid shook her head, "The slave doesn't know." β
Gu Yunjin saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he waved her hand to let her retreat. After that, I took a break with tea and planned what I would prepare later.
In fact, although Gu Xiaochen likes to feast in the mansion, she rarely bothers her, at most, the fifth grandmother Ning came to ask her about the methods and skills of making dim sum fruits. This time, I don't know if the guest is really expensive or if he has something wrong, so he asked her to prepare it herself.
However, this is not something to be embarrassed about, since he opened his mouth, she will not shirk it.
After drinking tea, Gu Yunjin went to the small kitchen to start busy, and Zhang's mother and a little maid helped to help. She didn't make any special snacks, or the snacks she usually used to entertain guests, such as osmanthus cake, rose cheese, and peanut cake......
Mother Zhang looked at those pastries with ordinary materials and beautiful styles, and praised them sincerely: "Once these ordinary things are in the hands of the eldest lady, they are different, and they are made like flowers, which makes people reluctant to eat them." β
Gu Yunjin smiled and said, "It's nothing special, it's just that there are more tricks." When she saw that the pastry was almost ready, she ordered, "Mother, the pastry is almost ready, you go wash some fresh fruits, and I will make some fruit platters." β
"Okay." Zhang's mother responded loudly, and her hands and feet were already moving quickly.
After another half an hour, the four pastries and four fruit salads had all been done, and Gu Yunjin finally checked it carefully again to make sure that there was no problem, so he instructed Zhang's mother to carefully put it in the food box, and then handed it over to Yue Liushao for safekeeping.
Gu Yunjin thought as she walked into her room, next, there was only tea to prepare, this was simpler, anyway, she didn't study tea tasting, just let the maid make a pot of tea?
When he arrived in the room, Gu Yunjin instructed Shui Ronglian and said, "Ronglian, let's count your tea making skills in Jinxiuyuan, so you can cook it." β
was praised by the master, Shui Langlian was very happy, nodded excitedly, and said: "Miss, then make a pot of Longjing tea, the fifth master likes to drink it the most." β
"Okay." Gu Yunjin nodded noncommittally.
While making tea in Shuilian, Gu Yunjin had nothing to do, so he took a book and sat at the table to read it.
But before he turned a few pages, he heard Shui Langlian's voice sound: "Miss, the tea is ready." β
"So soon, I thought I'd have to wait a while."
Gu Yunjin put down the book and got up to see the results. She came to the stove, and as soon as she opened the lid of the pot, a rich aroma suddenly came to her nose, and she couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fragrant, no wonder the fifth master loves to drink." β
Shui Langlian hurriedly said: "Miss, quickly close the lid of the pot, and then open the taste when you get to the place." β
"And this is exquisite?" Gu Yunjin couldn't help laughing when he saw her nervous appearance, and re-closed the lid of the pot as he said.
After waiting for a qiΔ to be ready, Gu Yunjin led the three of Yue Liushao, Shui Langlian and Xiang Yingsleeve to Wangyue Tower.
Mochizuki Tower is located in the center of the General's Mansion, and it is also the highest attic in the Mansion, and you can almost see the whole picture of the entire General's Mansion when you stand on it. Its value is for people to watch and play, such as meeting guests, such as climbing high and looking far away in autumn, such as enjoying the cool in summer......
When Gu Yunjin entered the Moon Tower, he found that it was quiet inside, and he didn't even see a maid, it seemed that Gu Xiaochen and his guests had not yet arrived.
Thinking so, she kept walking towards the main hall, ready to put down the tea and snacks before leaving.
But who would have thought, Gu Yunjin stepped into the door with one foot, and a familiar figure suddenly broke into her eyes, and she was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that Gu Xiaochen's distinguished guest turned out to be him! Red clothes and white hair, who else can there be besides that person?
Gu Xiaochen saw her first, and immediately shouted: "Sister, what are you doing there, come in quickly, I can't wait to eat." β
Gu Yunjin nodded unconsciously and continued to walk inside, she noticed that Dai Jinchao had been turning his back to her and never looked back.
She walked over to another empty table, instructed the maids to put snacks, fruits, and tea on the table, and motioned for them all to withdraw.
"Brother Dai, let's go, let's go there and rest for a while, and then fight later." Gu Xiaochen dropped the chess pieces in his hand and said to the person in front of him.
Dai Jinchao dropped lightly, got up and said, "Brother Gu is polite, please." β
Gu Yunjin looked at the two of you coming and going, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, if it is really like a gathering, these two have only known each other for a few days, and the relationship is so good that Cheng DΓΉ, who is called a brother and a brother.
Dai Jinchao turned around, his gaze swept over Gu Yunjin, fell on the delicate food on the table, and then turned his gaze back to her, and said very gracefully: "Thank you Brother Gu and Miss Gu for their hospitality." β
Because of the flow after knowing others. Hooligans, Gu Yunjin is very unaccustomed to the gentlemanly style in front of others, and really wants to uncover his gentleman's skin on the spot, but when she thinks that she has something to ask for him, she has to show gentleness and virtuousness even if she grinds her teeth in her heart, so she said slightly shyly: "I didn't expect it to be Dai Gongzi, why are you here?" β
Dai Jinchao looked at her little daughter with great interest, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked silently: I remember that a few days ago, I was like a tigress with her teeth and claws, why is she as well-behaved and docile as a white rabbit today?
Gu Yunjin secretly gritted his teeth to avoid his smiling gaze, and lowered his head slightly to make a shy.
Gu Xiaochen was unaware of the war between the two of them, and after stuffing a grape into his mouth, he explained: "The day before yesterday, I lost a son in a chess game with Brother Dai in the palace, and today I invited him to come and learn again, and by the way, I invited him to taste the skills praised by his sister." β
"You're going to lose?" Gu Yunjin asked in disbelief. You must know that Gu Xiaochen's chess skills can't find an opponent in Shengjing City, and even the emperor sighs that he is ashamed.
Gu Xiaochen sighed: "There is no way, there are people outside the world, there are people outside the sky." However, meeting opponents in chess is also a happy event in life. β
Gu Yunjin stared at Dai Jinchao like a monster, still couldn't believe that he had this ability.
She suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help frowning and asking Gu Xiaochen suspiciously: "The day before yesterday?" Didn't it mean that Dai Gongzi had a tired journey and was sick, and he didn't even participate in the dust washing banquet in the palace? Didn't you accompany your mother to visit the sick Dai Gongzi in the palace that day, how could you play chess with him? β
Dai Jinchao said leisurely without changing his face: "That day, it happened that my illness was cured. β
"You ......" must be faking illness.
Gu Yunjin was almost about to burst out, but after enduring a few endurances, what he finally said was, "...... It's good to be cured. β
"How about it, Brother Dai, my sister's craftsmanship is good, the color and flavor are complete, and they are much better than those stores." Gu Xiaochen said proudly.
Dai Jinchao nodded and praised with face: "It's really good, the pastries are sweet but not greasy, and the fruits are crisp and delicious." β
Gu Xiaochen looked at his sister, then at Dai Jinchao, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, I can't eat for long, and after you marry my sister, you will be the most blessed person......
