Chapter 142: Be a maid again
The job assigned to me by Steward Zhou is very simple, that is, to plan the backyard, which is very different from what I expected.
Because I originally wanted to be a maid who served tea and water in the study or hall, so that I could have many opportunities to see Ouyang Deyuan.
Well, it's all here, so I can only do it step by step like this. I took a broom and slowly swept the fallen leaves on the ground.
While sweeping, he recalled that he used to sit under the tree and chat with Ouyang Deyuan while looking at the stars in the sky.
I had a very happy life, and I couldn't have imagined that those days would be far away from me.
Steward Zhou didn't expect that this little maid who just came yesterday was really diligent, and came out early in the morning to clean the fallen leaves.
He came up to me and said, "You didn't tell me yesterday, what's your name?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Butler, you can just call me Baozi." ”
Zhou Lianggong almost laughed: "Buns? What's this weird name? But okay, Baozi, you can also call me a good worker in the future, we are all subordinates, you don't need to call me a housekeeper. ”
I nodded, thinking to myself: This Zhou Lianggong is quite amiable, I don't know where Ouyang Deyuan found such a good housekeeper.
At noon, when everyone was having lunch, I quietly came to my previous room, and I was disappointed to find that Ouyang Deyuan had not been here at all, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated in my room.
"Deyuan...... Hello Heartless...... Can't you just come here and see and try to remember a little bit about me? "I looked sadly at the jewelry and clothes that Ouyang Deyuan had given me before.
That's when the good works appeared behind me. He looked at me suspiciously and said, "What are you doing here?" The master has said that no one is allowed to come in here. ”
Ouyang Deyuan doesn't allow anyone to come in here? Why? I didn't have the plague, so why did he want everyone to avoid this room?
I got a little angry, strode out, then slammed the door behind and said, "I just think this room is so dirty, it's almost a rat nest, why don't you call someone in and clean it?" ”
Hearing me say this, the good work dispelled his doubts. He said to me, "It's dirty, and I told my master, but he just doesn't like people to talk about this room, and ...... You are not allowed to come here again. ”
I nodded helplessly and walked out with him.
On the way, I said to the good worker, "I haven't met the master yet, what kind of person do you think the master is?" ”
Lianggong smiled and said: "The master is the master, and we are subordinates, as long as we do our duty." But...... I think Ouyang Deyuan is a good master, at least he is not harsh on his subordinates at all. ”
I didn't say anything more, and when everyone had fallen asleep quietly in the night, I quietly walked out again.
This time I came to Ouyang Deyuan's room, I am too familiar with the environment here, where there are maids and where there are guards, I am clear, so I almost easily came to Ouyang Deyuan's door.
His martial arts are very good, and I have to use my internal force to suppress the sound of my breathing, so that it is not easy to be discovered by Ouyang Deyuan.
I leaned out of the window and looked in through the slit.
He was reading the letter there, and I don't know who wrote it to him, and he was wearing the same dress I had sewn for him, but apparently he had forgotten that I had sewn it, or he wouldn't have worn it.
I was intrigued when I heard a slight noise behind me, and I immediately straightened up vigilantly to take a closer look.
I found nothing, but to be on the safe side, I didn't lie there and peep around, but quietly went back to the small room where I shared a few maids.
No one knew I had just left, and they all slept soundly.
I cautiously burrowed into my bed and found something inside, and I reached in curiously to touch it.
Hey, no, I actually touched my Qingluan Imperial Whip, I didn't believe it at first, but when I took it out, it was really my Qingluan Whip.
Haha, that's great, I almost didn't laugh out loud with joy.
Wasn't this whip taken away by Dugu Night Wind? How did it end up here after all this time?
I know, the sound behind me just now must be Dugu Night Wind, he has been here, and he has seen me, so why didn't he tell me anything, but gave me the whip back?
Forget it, his mind is too high and unfathomable, and I don't bother to guess, I am really happy to get my beloved whip back, and I fell asleep with my Qingluan whip in my arms that night.
The next day, I got up early and went to the backyard to clean up, and this time I not only cleaned up the backyard, but also took care of the flowers and plants I had planted in the backyard.
Many of those were bought to me by Ouyang Deyuan through the merchants of the Western Regions before, and I really didn't want to leave them there and let the weeds swallow them.
I was trimming the flowers and grass when I saw the good workman's burning eyebrows running past me. I asked curiously, "Lianggong, what's wrong with you?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”
He stopped and said: "The cook in the house has something at home and suddenly left, and now the master says that he wants to eat osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, but no one can do it." It's not a rush to death. ”
Ouyang Deyuan has always liked to eat this dish, and I have eaten it many times, and this osmanthus glutinous rice root is not difficult to make.
So I said to him, "Don't worry, take me to the kitchen, I can cook this dish." ”
"Really? Great, Baozi, you really saved me this time. "He dragged me to the kitchen.
The method of osmanthus glutinous rice root is not difficult, but there is a trick in it, that is, after it is done, it must be poured with Ouyang Deyuan's favorite special osmanthus nectar of the Chen family.
And the Chen family is one of the merchants in the imperial city who pay tribute to the emperor honey, so his family's osmanthus nectar is very rare in the market, but fortunately, there are still some in the Ouyang Mansion.
When I had finished the dish, I said to the good worker, "If the master wants to ask who made the dish, you can say that the cook made it, and never say that it was made by a little maid." ”
The good worker thought that I was not confident in my craft, and immediately agreed, "Don't worry, I will never give you up." After saying that, he happily took the food and left.
Sure enough, after Ouyang Deyuan finished eating this osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, he asked Lianggong who made this dish.
Lianggong immediately replied that it was the cook who made it, and Ouyang Deyuan only said one sentence: "Reward him with one hundred taels." ”
Because he felt that this was the most delicious osmanthus glutinous rice root he had ever eaten.
When Lianggong happily came to me with the silver in his hand, I was really happy, not because of the silver, but because Ouyang Deyuan liked to eat the dishes I cooked.
He hates me now, but I can at least console myself by saying that he doesn't hate my cooking.
