Chapter 165: Hongmen Banquet 2
Caiyun watched Xiao Xia take a vegetable leaf from the plate in front of Gao Yue, handed it to his mouth, smiled at Gao Yue embarrassedly, opened his mouth and bit it, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his stomach.
Seeing Xiao Xia actually pick up vegetables from the plate in front of her own lady, Chunhua was very unhappy, you know, in ancient times, etiquette was very strict, only allowed to eat the dishes in front of you on the table, and it was never allowed to reach out to the dishes in front of others, this is a taboo on the table, as a maid of a rich family, Xiao Xia can't be so ignorant of etiquette, since she knows it, she has to do that, there is only one reason, that is, she didn't take Gao Yue in her eyes at all.
Caiyun looked at Gao Yue and Chunhua with a dissatisfied look, and hurriedly swallowed the vegetable leaves and explained: "I'm sorry, I've had a cold in the past two days, and I can't eat meat." Xiao Xia is also good for me. ”
"In that case, let's eat more vegetables! The second lady looks at you thin, come and eat some venison to replenish your body. Xiao Xia actually picked up the venison plate in front of Caiyun and Gao Yue's vegetable plate to swap.
Looking at the venison in front of her, Gao Yue shuddered, and for her movements, Caiyun and Xiao Xia saw their faces clearly.
Chunhua walked over to the table and changed a plate of vegetarian dishes for Gao Yue, and said, "Our young lady can't eat more meat, she hasn't had a good throat recently." ”
"That's a pity, this plate of venison that the second lady has carefully prepared." Xiao Xia said deliberately. It seems that this plate of venison must have a cat hidden in it, otherwise the master and servant would not have such expressions.
"Isn't it? For this plate of venison, our lady has worked hard, first of all, our Shangshu Mansion advocates frugality, there is absolutely no chance to eat venison, this venison is Miss asked me from the prefect's mansion, not fat or greasy, it is just the meat on the thigh of the reindeer, and Miss personally instructed the people in the stove to cook it. ”
Xiao Xia almost drooled when she heard this, if she hadn't known that there might be poison in it, she would have pounced on it and eaten only her bones.
Caiyun smiled: "There is Sister Lao, I will be well another day, I must taste my sister's craftsmanship." ”
Chunhua pursed her lips: "Another day, it may not be so delicious." ”
Caiyun didn't pay attention to her, just looked at Gao Yue and said, "Sister, my sister is tired today and wants to go back to the room to rest, let's talk another day." Do you think it's okay? ”
Gao Yue saw Caiyun get up to leave, and hurriedly said, "Of course you can, Chunhua will send the eldest lady." ”
Xiao Xia said more than the plate of venison; "Such a good thing, it will be wasted if you throw it away, why don't I take it back and eat it for my sisters, and it won't be in vain for the second lady to work hard."
Before Gao Yue could speak, Chunhua said on the side: "Take it!" Take it! Eat more, this is specially prepared for you by our young lady. ”
Gao Yue glared at her twice, and she didn't want to say anything more. Caiyun and Xiao Xia took the plate of venison and left Gao Yue's residence.
Watching the two leave,. Chunhua said, "What about Miss?" It seems that the eldest lady is wary of us everywhere, how to let us start. ”
Gao Yue thought for a moment and asked; "Chunhua, how much arsenic did you put in that plate of venison?"
"Miss Hui, I put the whole bag of arsenic in it, it is very toxic, once you eat it, you will definitely die, it is estimated that those maids will not survive tonight." Spring Flower said proudly.
"Are you stupid? They have such good precautions that they will eat the venison you make without inspection," Gao Yue said with a white look at her, this maid is a pig, and she always likes to play a little clever.
So what to do? Miss, a little check will reveal that there is arsenic in it. Chunhua worried. If he is accused of poisoning the eldest lady, let alone marrying Su Gongzi, his life will be a problem.
"What else can I do, I gave you a look just now, but you didn't look at it, and shouted for everyone to eat it, and said that I specially prepared it, and once it was found out that there was arsenic in it, not only would you be punished, but I and Qiu Yue would not be able to get rid of it."
"So what to do?"
"The only way is for you to go after the eldest lady and get that plate of venison back right away."
"And what shall I say?" Chunhua was completely stupefied.
"Whatever you want, just get the venison back." Gao Yue pursed her lips, and the two maids that her uncle gave him were more stupid than the other.
Chunhua hurriedly chased after Caiyun's master and servant, Caiyun looked at the plate of venison in Xiao Xia's hand and laughed; "Xiao Xia, you are too greedy, we don't count if we eat other people's Gao Yue, you still have to take other people's."
"I can't help it, who made Lord Shangshu stingy, there is usually no meat to eat in the house, and now the second lady not only invites us to eat meat, but also venison, how can we eat it alone, take it back for Sister Xiaochun and the two sisters to taste."
"This venison looks good, but I don't know what condiments are in it?" Caiyun smiled.
Xiao Xia smiled: "Won't you know if you take it back to study it?" ”
"Then you have to study carefully, I'm very curious."
Xiao Xia looked at Caiyun and suddenly said, "Miss, you said that our cat saw it, will it be greedy?" ”
"Then you have to watch it, but don't let it eat, you won't have anything to study." Caiyun reminded with a smile.
"Miss, it's okay for the cat to eat it, but if other people and sisters eat it, it's really bad."
"Dead girl, take it back and study it!" The corners of Caiyun's mouth twitched, this Xiao Xia is not simple, no matter what medicine she is for, she has studied it.
While talking, the two of them pushed open the courtyard door, and were about to step into the courtyard, when they heard Chunhua hurriedly chasing behind them shouting: "The eldest lady walks slowly, I have something to say." ”
Caiyun looked at Xiao Xia and said, "Why did she chase after her?" ”
"Who knows? Maybe I can't bear this plate of venison! The corners of Xiao Xia's mouth twitched, this Chunhua is stupid, just now he shouted to bring it back to his sisters, was he reprimanded by Gao Yue so much that he wanted to return the plate of venison?
The two stood at the door and waited for Chunhua to approach, Caiyun looked at Chunhua and asked, "Your name is Chunhua, right?" Is there something you have to do with us in such a hurry? ”
Chunhua blinked and said, "That's the big lady, I can't give you that plate of venison, my sister Qiuyue, she just came back and said that she wanted to eat venison, I want me to take it back and give it to her." ”
