Chapter 10 Turning the face is like turning a book

Chu Lingfeng said very firmly, got up and entered the room with a smile, took another bottle of medicinal wine from the cabinet, and threw it into Xiao Tian's arms. During the time when the Chu family and the Xue family were preparing for the marriage, Chu Lingfeng was not idle, unlike the young lady next to her, in addition to gold and silver jewelry, her own customary supplies, she also brought a box full of medicines. Even Xiao Tian couldn't tell what it was for, a small packet of a small pack, a small bottle of a smile, full of it, and every package was the same, and every porcelain bottle was the same, without any marked name.

"What is this?" Xiao Tian leaned in front of her eyes and looked at it, and said blankly, "Miss, what are you doing for me with this?" ”

"For your favor." Chu Lingfeng said: "It's lunch time soon, you go to the kitchen and see what dishes are there." Call me a crab roe sea cucumber, and don't be angry with it or not. ”

As he spoke, Chu Lingfeng beckoned Xiao Tian to come over and whispered a few words.

Xiao Tian frowned at first, then nodded, and then said briskly: "Don't worry, Miss, I know how to do it." ”

"Yes." Chu Lingfeng handed over the matter to Xiao Tian, and he was quite relieved. Although the little girl doesn't have so many fancy intestines in her stomach that won't hurt people, she is still quite clever and not a stupid girl.

Xiao Tian took the medicinal wine and walked quickly to the kitchen, Chu Lingfeng was also busy all morning, sitting in the shadow of the flower tree and resting for a while.

The back house of the Xue Mansion is not impregnable, but because of various interests. She is new to this big family, as long as she can knock on a piece and open up the situation, the rest of the things will be much easier.

Xiao Tian came back after only two quarters of an hour, and although she didn't show anything on her face, Chu Lingfeng still saw that she was a little unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Chu Lingfeng smiled: "Look at this, being bullied? ”

Xiao Tian pursed her lips, a little unenergetic and said, "Actually, it's not, I'm mentally prepared." ”

"Yes." Chu Lingfeng knew in his heart: "What's wrong, tell me carefully, who made you angry." ”

"Speaking of which, in fact, no one made me angry, but I used to hear that the subordinates of big families have two faces, which is really good." Xiao Tian sighed: "But the Xue family is really rich, and the kitchen is bigger than our garden." ”

Chu Lingfeng pursed his lips and smiled, although the Chu family is also considered a rich and noble family, but when he arrives at the Xue family, sometimes there is indeed a feeling that people from the mountains have entered the city.

Xiao Tian took a sip of water, and then said: "There are five or six cooks who come and go inside, and there are even more maids." I went to take a look, except for the old lady and the old lady, the master of the house has a similar daily list, three meat and three vegetables, as well as soup, snacks and fruits, although it is exquisite, but that's it. What's more, it's what Mrs. Miss wants to eat alone, so let the kitchen add vegetables. But it seems to depend on whether the kitchen has this dish today, of course......"

Xiao Tian said angrily: "If you want me to say, it's not whether there is or not, but whether the people in the kitchen treat you as the master." The old lady wanted to add vegetables, and she also bought dragon meat. Miss wants a crab roe tofu is missing. ”

Chu Lingfeng smiled, in fact, the Chu family is the same, but in terms of the richness of the dishes and cooking, the grade will still be opened up a lot.

"When I went into the kitchen, I saw a basket of crabs in the corner of the yard, but when I told Mama Yun that I wanted a crab roe sea cucumber, she told me that I couldn't do it without crabs, so I was talking nonsense with my eyes open." Xiao Tian said indignantly: "Just now, Miss was so kind to give her a red envelope if she wanted, and she didn't recognize anyone when she turned her face." ”

"What kind of face is this?" Chu Lingfeng said indifferently: "Anyway, I don't want to eat this dish, I just want to see their attitude." It doesn't matter, the other thing I asked you to do, did it? ”

"It's done." Xiao Tian said: "The kitchen is busy, and no one cares about me, the kitchen is not good for a long time, I just walked around the front and back yards a few times, and I saw a few little maids washing vegetables, I am a newcomer anyway, pretending to be curious and went over to talk to them, sure enough, two of them have this joint soreness problem, today is going to change, last night began to hurt." There was an elbow joint, which was a little swollen, and it was tearful to say. ”

"Well, people who work all year round and soak in cold water, this problem is common." Chu Lingfeng said: "Another one, it is an elderly person." I saw yesterday that the old lady's finger joints were slightly thicker than normal. When I moved, my elbows were a little sluggish, so I guess I added warm clothes. Moreover, the old lady also has a very faint smell of medicinal wine, if nothing else, she must have been tormented by this disease for many years. ”

Mrs. Xue is not short of money, famous doctors must have seen a lot, and used a lot of good medicines, but it is still difficult to cure it.

Xiao Tian responded, and then said: "I took out the medicinal wine given by the young lady at that time, gave it to one of the little maids, and then according to the instructions of the young lady, I said that this medicine is in the sky and there is no earth, the little maid has no money, and it is estimated that she can't afford to catch good medicine and invite a good doctor, someone sent the medicine, and it must be used." ”

"That'll do." Chu Lingfeng said: "Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, after the maid uses it, she feels that it is effective, and she will naturally have a flexible filial piety to Mama Yun." After Mama Yun uses it, if she thinks it is useful, she will naturally want to go up and please her master...... It is not so easy for the old lady to be filial, and if we show it too obviously, it will appear hypocritical, and it is easy to backfire. And now, wouldn't it be better to sprinkle the bait and wait for the fish to take the bait on its own. ”

Xiao Tian thought about it carefully, and the depression of not having crab roe and sea cucumber at noon was finally swept away, and she smiled. After my own lady coaxed the old lady to be happy, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to ask for anything.

After a while, lunch was delivered, hot three meat and three vegetables, and a soup, which was very rich.

The girl who delivered the food was also very polite, and explained especially like Chu Lingfeng: "The young grandmother asked the maid to say that she wanted to eat a crab roe sea cucumber today, but unfortunately it is very good, because the crab is not a day in this season, so it is usually not, and it is easy to buy a little today, but it is only enough to supply the old lady, so there is no way to supply the young grandmother." Mama Yun said please forgive the young grandmother, and when the season comes, I will definitely pick a few kinds of fat for the young grandmother and send them to you. ”

This statement is really polite and can't be faulted. No matter how much Chu Lingfeng wants to eat, he is not qualified to grab it from the old lady.

"Mama Lao is bothered, thank you Mama Yun for me." Chu Lingfeng said with a smile: "What should I do, the old lady in the house should naturally be the first lady, we are the juniors, it is too late to be filial, where will I say anything." ”

Really, I didn't catch the food, and I have to thank you for it, Xiao Tian pouted on the side and didn't speak, feeling a little worthless in her heart.

It's just crab roe and sea cucumber, if you can ask for a few crabs, if you really have this heart, how can you make it up. doesn't want to be a good person and still say good things, she really has everything to occupy.

"It's good that grandma can be considerate." The little girl smiled and blessed: "There are still many things in the kitchen, and the slave maid will leave first." ”

Chu Lingfeng nodded and asked Xiao Tian to take a purse to reward her. Therefore, it is very difficult to be a young grandmother of a large family, if her mother's family does not have a little family background, not to mention the side, just the monthly reward to the next person is not a small amount of money. Although it is not necessary to give a reward, it is a convention, if everyone gives it, only you don't give it, it will naturally be criticized.

Chu Lingfeng's monthly money is thirty taels of silver per month, which is already a lot, but there are many places where he has no choice but to use money. Especially when you just enter the Xue Mansion, if you want to open up the situation, it is natural to be a person, but it is also indispensable to be able to use money.

After the little maid left, Chu Lingfeng asked Xiao Tian to carry the food box into the room, although the rules are that the master and the maid cannot eat at the same table, but when they enter the room and close the door, Chu Lingfeng and Xiao Tian have always been like sisters, and there is no reason for one to sit and one to stand.

The chefs of the Xue family are naturally very good, even if there is no crab roe tofu, this meal is very fragrant for the two of them.

After a cup of tea after the meal, the wife and young lady of the big family didn't have anything to do, Chu Lingfeng and Ling'er both rested for a while, and then sorted and cleaned up the things they brought from the Chu family.

"Miss, what did you bring with you?" Xiao Tian opened the box containing the medicine, and looked through the bottles: "None of them have names, miss, aren't all the bottles of your medicine labeled, where are they gone?" ”

"If you put a label, you know everyone." Chu Lingfeng casually picked one up and flipped it in his hand: "Everyone knows me, how can I maintain a sense of mystery?" ”

"That's right." Xiao Tian said: "And if you are seen, if you want to do something that is not good for us, it will be better to start." ”

Although this possibility is very small, no one who has just arrived has offended, but these days Xiao Tian has imagined too many plots of entering a wealthy family that is as deep as the sea, so she almost thinks of Xue Mansion as a tiger's den in Longtan, and she only feels that there is no good person in it.

Fortunately, the effect of that bottle of rheumatic medicinal wine was very obvious, Chu Lingfeng originally thought that he would have to wait at least a day or two before there would be results, but who would have thought that that night, it was Yun Linfu who personally delivered dinner.

Yun Linfu walked in front, followed by two little girls carrying food boxes.

"Grandma, please." Yun Linfu walked over with a smile on his face, and blessed: "The old slave brought dinner to the eldest and youngest grandmother." ”

As she spoke, the two little girls behind her came up from behind, put the food box on the table and opened it.

When Chu Lingfeng saw Yun Linfu, he knew about it in his heart, but he said without revealing a drop of water on his face: "This kind of trivial matter, just let the maid do it, why bother Mama Yun to run it herself." If there aren't enough people in the kitchen, I'll let the maid pick it up. ”

Yun Linfu is in charge of the entire large kitchen, which is indeed a lot of affairs, if the food in each yard has to be delivered in person, then it is really not necessary to do anything.

Yun Linfu smiled and opened the food box, put out the dishes inside, and said: "That's the case, at noon, the young grandmother sent someone to say that she wanted to eat a crab roe sea cucumber, but because it is not the season for crabs to go on the market, I only bought half a basket today, which is only enough for the old lady alone, so I couldn't serve the young grandmother." ”

"What's this?" Chu Lingfeng waved his hand: "Mama Yun has already asked the maid to explain, so there is no need to run for this matter again." ”

"Grandma is tolerant, but I've always been reluctant to do so." Yun Linfu smiled and said: "So in the afternoon, I deliberately asked the buyer to go to the market to find it, the young grandmother has a mouthful, but coincidentally, I met a seller again, and the condition is also good, so I hurriedly bought it back, and asked the cook to make this crab roe sea cucumber, please taste it." ”
