Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Hall of Gold and Jade (2)
"Not only should you have a holiday, but you should also be rewarded," Master Liu treated the two maids more generously, "Okay, I'll arrange it, you're tired, go back to the embroidery building to rest." ”
"Yes." Thinking that Master Liu was worried about something wrong with her words and deeds, she wanted to ask the lotus flower, at this point, Liu Yiyi really couldn't pat her chest to reassure Master Liu, she was here, and now ordinary things may rise to the level of chastity in ancient times, plus the original owner of this body is also arrogant, it is difficult for Master Liu to be a father.
"Master, Uncle Bai was captured!" After confirming that there were only two of them in the living room, Lotus immediately reported the matter.
"Really!? How can you be sure?! Master Liu was taken aback.
"Can a slave talk nonsense about such a thing? Osmanthus and I heard it with our own ears, and asked Miss again, she said that Lin Yuxiao threw a circle of white fur to Lu Tingqi, isn't that Uncle Bai's, and the jade unicorn of the treasure of Jiangnan Zhenjiang, when did this pair of Lingshi Uncle Bai leave since he got it? Last time, he showed off to the old man, and he was reluctant to let you touch it......" Lotus then went on to elaborate on everything that happened in the front hall of the Guogong Mansion.
Master Liu couldn't help but pause when he heard this: "What do I say, his face is dark, there will be a catastrophe!" The result!? I persuaded him to go back to the mountain to practice honestly, and he could hide after concentrating on calming down, but not only did he not listen, but he actually went to harm people for Lu Tingqi! It's no wonder that this catastrophe can be avoided with blood! What do you think is good about a human like Lu Tingqi, who is in a lot of blood debts, whether he just throws it on the side of the road? ”
"Master, why don't we leave the Liu family alone and go back to the mountain to practice honestly. Is it okay to live a calm life? "The lotus is really scared.
Master Liu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, the Liu family has the grace of reinvention for me." I have to watch the descendants of the Liu family live a worry-free life before I can leave. ”
"But...... Miss Liu has already ......," Lotus said in a low voice.
"It's just a matter of taking away, you give her a blood test now, to ensure that the world recognizes her as the seed of the Liu family, so the inheritance of the Liu family has to rely on her." Therefore, Master Liu must choose a good man for Liu Yiyi who can be considerate of her and protect her, so that the bloodline of the Liu family can be passed on smoothly.
It's not okay not to repay a favor, and Lotus also understands, "It's just that even Uncle Bai can be caught." Master, you said it was really Lin Yuxiao who did it? How good is he? What are we going to do? Can you save Uncle Bai or not? In case we are also discovered, sir, don't say that you will repay the favor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect you. ”
"Lin Yuxiao, I'm not unusual. He is very good, but he is also an ordinary person," Master Liu is confident that he can still detect this, "The rabbit is dead or the fox is sad, I can't ignore it." It's just Lu Tingqi, I won't save it. ”
Of course, Lotus will not let Master Liu save Lu Tingqi. The smell of blood on Lu Tingqi's body is so strong, she feels uncomfortable every time she sees it, and whoever is close to him in this human being will mistake his cultivation.
When Master Liu was planning to send someone to inquire about the news, Du Shaonan came to the door again in the afternoon, and this time he was the only one.
"That's right, the case is solved, a few of us want to celebrate, and the boss of Tang Zhitang is in charge of the kitchen himself, because Miss Liu also has a lot of credit. Naturally, she shouldn't be absent from attending, uncle, please rest assured. The niece of the current Queen Mother, the daughter of the Generalissimo of the Protector of the Country, Miss Mu, was also present. ”
No polite father would allow a young daughter to mingle with a bunch of young men and drink hot, so Du Shaonan specifically mentioned that Mu Qingyin would also go, and Liu Yiyi would have a female companion, which was a serious celebration banquet.
Master Liu really gladly allowed after hearing that Mu Qingyin was also gone, in his opinion, Liu Yiyi is now in contact with all the sons and daughters of dignitaries, and the future marriage is only afraid that it will fall on these families, but whether it is Liu Yiyi in the past or now, the etiquette is not up to the standard of famous ladies, so he hopes that the cheap daughters in this world can meet the real nobles and learn from them, so as not to make the in-laws laugh in the future.
If Du Shaonan could hear Master Liu's heart, he would definitely squirt out a sip of tea and lose his honor in public, just Mu Qingyin's sad face all day long, for fear that others would not know what she was thinking about a man.
Du Shaonan couldn't hear Master Liu's heart, so he just reminded: "It's better to let Miss Liu wear men's clothes, it's less noticeable, and don't bring a ring, because Miss Mu won't bring it, don't let her misunderstand." ”
The queen mother's niece and niece don't bring anyone to serve, and the daughter of the merchant family should be more low-key, Master Liu thinks that Du Shaonan is thoughtful, and it just so happens that he also has something to inquire: "Virtuous nephew, I heard that Lu Tingqi is the murderer of the strange case in Mengzhou, I really can't imagine it, by the way, I heard that Lu Tingqi also has an accomplice, what kind of person is it, wouldn't he also be a leader and a face in Mengzhou City?" ”
"I don't know now, but I'll probably say it tonight." Du Shaonan replied truthfully, he didn't think there was any problem.
"That's right." Then he just waited for Liu Yiyi to come back and ask.
Liu Yiyi didn't expect that Du Shaonan would invite her to the celebration banquet, she was a little flattered, and she was even more looking forward to it, so she couldn't help but ask tentatively halfway: "Young Master Du, you let me also go to the celebration banquet, do other people know?" ”
"I don't know, the posts are all written by me, but don't worry, after Yu Xiao closes the case, he is often in the best mood, and he won't be disgusted with your appearance, and who will turn you away with your cooking skills?" Anyway, Du Shaonan was worried about it.
Liu Yiyi was a little disappointed, the celebration banquet was sure that Lin Yuxiao was the protagonist, but she also made some efforts, the male god didn't think about her, but Du Shaonan treated her well.
Du Shaonan took Liu Yiyi to his own restaurant, this is still Liu Yiyi came back after the opening, the plaque of the restaurant was bright, she was stunned when she saw it: "Jingfu Building?!" ”
"You didn't know the name of my restaurant before?" Du Shaonan was strange, on the opening day, Master Liu came to eat.
"......" Liu Yiyi was embarrassed, she actually forgot to ask.
“…… Never mind. Just look at the way she looks, and you will understand that she has never put his business at ease.
Du Shaonan went inside sullenly, Liu Yiyi looked at the three words "Jingfulou" and looked at it before entering, this restaurant is actually called Jingfulou, it's too coincidental!
Today's celebration banquet is all his own people, so Du Shaonan simply asked the shopkeeper to hang up the sign. stated that the restaurant was all-inclusive, closed to the public, and even the shopkeeper and the cook let him take a holiday.
So he brought Liu Yiyi in. Fang Xiaozhu asked him first: "I said Shaonan, you said in your post that you want to hold a celebration banquet, just such a cold pot and cold stove?" ”
Du Shaonan glanced around first, Fang Xiaozhu came, Yue Linfeng and Mu Qingyin also came, Lin Yuxiao and Xiao Tang haven't come yet, but it doesn't matter if you say it first: "Who said that there is a cold pot and a cold stove here?" The fire between the stoves was just pressing. As soon as I poked it, it was burned, and all the vegetables, fruits, and meat were washed and placed in the kitchen, I mean the celebration feast was going to be lively. It's better for us to do it ourselves, make a dish for each person, don't let us eat and drink outside, but trouble Xiao Tang to smoke and burn in the kitchen alone. What do you think? ”
"This is good!" Liu Yiyi was the first to agree. She can taste Lin Yuxiao's cooking skills!
As soon as Liu Yiyi agreed, Yue Linfeng naturally did not object, and he was very excited and looking forward to letting the beauty taste the dishes he cooked, and he couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to show his skills immediately.
Fang Xiaozhu was moved by Du Shaonan's last sentence, letting Xiao Tang be responsible for the meals of eight people by himself, it was not a good friend.
"That's it!" Du Shaonan was happy that his idea was passed, as for Mu Qingyin, who was silent. He was fine if she didn't exist.
In order to express his gratitude for his support, Du Shaonan personally went to the kitchen to bring boiling water. Pour tea for everyone personally.
"Yo, am I dazzled, why should Young Master Du be a running hall?" Xiao Tang happened to see it as soon as he came in, so he smiled.
"I'm running the hall for you, thank me quickly......" Du Shaonan hurriedly said his idea, as soon as Xiao Tang and Lin Yuxiao came, everyone could prepare to cook and eat.
Xiao Tang didn't seem to be very happy, he looked at Lin Yuxiao beside him: "I'll make Yuxiao's share, he can't cook if he's injured." ”
"You're hurt!?" Yue Linfeng walked over in surprise and stretched out his hand to check Lin Yuxiao's pulse.
"It's just a trauma." Lin Yuxiao didn't stretch out his hand, he found a chair and sat down, "I owe you this dish, how about I find time to make up for it when I return to the capital?" ”
The protagonist of the celebration banquet is injured, which inevitably makes everyone feel disappointed, especially Liu Yiyi, who can wait to return to the capital to make up for it, what about her? That's right! Back to the capital! Returning to the capital is the end of the story, what should she do after that? Do Miss Liu in Monju? Then will she really marry Du Shaonan, completely dissolve into the ancients, be an ancient woman, and let the years gradually wash away all the traces of her previous life?
Liu Yiyi has only been traveling for half a year, and from time to time he will feel confused about his future, Du Shaonan has traveled for seventeen years, and he has already accepted his fate, his current goal is to make himself live better in this time and space, so when he heard that Lin Yuxiao was injured and couldn't cook, he naturally wouldn't force it: "Then let Xiao Tang make two copies this time, and you will make up for it when you go back to the capital, and if you agree to show your skills, please go to the kitchen with me." ”
"I still use my old kitchen." Xiao Tang doesn't need Du Shaonan to lead, he is familiar with the way and goes back first.
Liu Yiyi was disappointed that she couldn't taste Lin Yuxiao's cooking skills, but she couldn't bear to let the injured person cook for her, Fang Xiaozhu didn't think much about it, their reaction was expected by Du Shaonan, but Mu Qingyin actually got up and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Mu Qingyin can cook, can make sweet soup and make dim sum, Du Shaonan also praised who married the daughter of the Mu family when he was a child, it was a blessing, until more than two years ago, Mu Qingyin was hurt by love and made a vigorous fuss, he gradually respected her, and hated her.
Mu Qingyin took the initiative to cook today, could it be because Lin Yuxiao was injured? If so, she still has a conscience.
Contrary to Mu Qingyin, Yue Linfeng, who was eager to try, lost his mood: "I'll go back later." ”
Du Shaonan nodded, took a few people who were willing to cook to the backyard, and introduced them to them: "You probably know some of Xiao Tang's cooking habits, he is most annoyed when he cooks, someone gets in the way of him, as long as the fire comes up, as long as there are no ingredients in his hand, he will throw them out, it's okay if he wants to throw chopsticks, but if he wants to throw a kitchen knife, he will ......."
"We all know that." Mu Qingyin was a little impatient, she hadn't had a party with these acquaintances for a long time, seeing them smiling carefree, she always felt very strange, if it weren't for Lin Yuxiao's disappearance first to make her worry, and then the injury made her feel distressed, she would have left long ago.
"But some people don't know." Fang Xiaozhu said with a smile, Du Shaonan bothered to explain it so much, for whom do you still need to say it?
Mu Qingyin suddenly looked at Liu Yiyi, she was really a blessed woman, she was so considerate and loved, not like she was alone.
"In short, after I planned this morning, I will find someone to construct and divide the entire large kitchen into a few rooms, Xiao Tang is still in his original position, Xiaozhu, you can choose your own, and the two eldest ladies can also choose an independent single room, so you don't have to worry about the big defense of whether men and women are intimate."
Mu Qingyin and Fang Xiaozhu said that nothing could affect Du Shaonan, and the two of them were not as good as either of Old Madam Li and the Hu family, he had already practiced it.
"So let's pick the two young ladies first." Fang Xiaozhu, who was born in a family of officials and is a champion talent, has a neat mouth and is more gentlemanly.
Mu Qingyin was also polite: "Then I'll be in a room with Miss Liu." She casually pointed to a recently empty kitchenette.
Liu Yiyi didn't expect that Fairy Mu, who usually ignores people, would take the initiative to share a kitchen with her, wouldn't she want her to help, it's nothing, she gave a lot of help to the masters when she interned in vocational schools and hotels.
When she entered the small kitchen, Mu Qingyin washed her hands first, and then said to Liu Yiyi: "I want to make hibiscus cake, Yu Xiao is usually fine, but when she is injured, she likes to eat sweets, and she can't eat enough, Miss Liu can do whatever she wants." "There are several stoves in this kitchen anyway.
As soon as Mu Qingyin explained this, Liu Yiyi must also make desserts: "Lord Lin, he has also been injured before, is it often injured?" ”
"The cases that are handled on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol Qin are all cases that ordinary people can't handle, so they can't be dangerous." Mu Qingyin is accustomed to what he said.
Liu Yiyi couldn't accept it: "Is there no one else in the court?" Isn't the handling of cases attributed to the Criminal Department? Isn't Lord Lin the adopted son of the Queen Mother's brother? "Do you have to take risks from time to time? How can Du Shaonan eat, drink and be merry every day?
"They are capable and responsible." Mu Qingyin only said lightly, then turned around and selected ingredients on the shelf.
Seeing this, Liu Yiyi didn't want to talk about anything, she also turned around and chose what she wanted to use from another shelf, in fact, if she thought about it carefully, Mu Qingyin was not wrong, if Lin Yuxiao and Yue Linfeng could only eat, drink and have fun, which author would want such a person to be the hero? Of course, she doesn't like them anymore.
"Miss Liu, are you willing to go to the capital?" After a while, it was Mu Qingyin who spoke first.
Liu Yiyi was stunned: "Go to the capital?" "She didn't agree to go with Yue Linfeng, could there still be the plot of the holy decree marriage in the novel? Thinking of the people in the Queen Mother's palace who came to Mengzhou, she was a little panicked, "Miss Mu, you know that Du Shaonan proposed to my family." ”
Liu Yiyi instinctively took out Du Shaonan as a shield again, but Mu Qingyin was unmoved: "I know, but it has only been two years since the old Guogong of the Guogong Mansion died, and he can't do happy events at present." ”
"I'm not in a hurry." Liu Yiyi: This is definitely from the bottom of my heart. (To be continued.) )
