Chapter Seventy-Three: Security

For Yulan, who accompanied Cui Wanqing in the car, and Fangrong, Wen Gui, and Ah Tao, who accompanied Fang's mother in the back, no matter what they really thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, they should be respected, and they should be affectionate.

She knew in her heart that her young lady didn't like to see the person who looked down the most, so she was cautious and used some subordinate means to compete for favor, so Ah Tao has always been straightforward in front of Cui Wanqing.

In addition, she has been holding Fang's mother tightly, Ah Tao, who was not a confidant at all, has now faintly taken the place of Brother Li.

This can be regarded as the best, Ah Tao grew up in the Cui family's compound since she was a child, and those big sisters who fell half to death in order to climb high branches are really not too much to see.

Her goal now is very clear, that is, to be a first-class maid by Cui Wanqing's side all the way, and to be selected as a wedding maid in the future, and to follow her master to a new environment first. Then plan for the next step.

Ah Tao once went to Mingyue Pavilion, and happened to meet Mr. Kong teaching the ladies, and happened to hear Mr. Kong's meaningful words: "A life without a goal is a broken life." ”

"Young ladies should find a goal for yourself from now on, don't worry about it being too difficult, and don't feel that the goal is too far."

"As long as you put in the corresponding efforts, you will definitely be able to achieve what you want in your heart, and at that moment you will find that it is not very difficult, and it turns out that I can also do it."

This sentence touched Ah Tao a lot, her son and mother are literate, so they enlightened their children very early.

What Mr. Kong said is a very important truth. But it's not obscure, Ah Tao understands it and remembers it in her heart.

She began to set goals for herself, and now it seems that the effect is quite good, at least she has changed from a little girl that Cui Wanqing is wary of to a maid who is accepted by her master.

As long as she thought of the change so much, Ah Tao felt that she really had nothing to be jealous of, and when she saw Yulan taking the box, she smiled brightly and bowed to the two young ladies at the door.

He retreated to where he had been. Continued to fight with her lunch.

Ah Tao walked neatly. So I didn't see it, Cui Wanqing's eyes flashed with an unknown meaning in her eyes

Cao Tang's attention was all attracted by this box of sauces that were suddenly delivered. Even the corner of the eye. I didn't care about Ah Tao who sent things in.

She watched as Magnolia opened the silver lid. A pair of big watery eyes are full of slow curiosity and anticipation.

Wait until she can see the sauce in the box. The look in his eyes disappeared with a 'whoosh' in an instant

How so? The color of this box of sauce is not ugly, because there is oil, so it looks very moist, and you can see that there are minced beef, onions and soybean cress.

With the bright silver box that holds it, it's really appetizing.

But the problem is that Cao Tang, the daughter of the Hou Mansion, is a bit picky eater, and what she doesn't eat, if she counts it with her fingers, it is really a lot.

In the box of sauces in front of me, at first glance, there are at least two taboo ingredients, one is garlic and the other is onion.

With these two things in it, even if this sauce is delicious to death, Cao Tang will not taste it.

However, this sauce is not prepared for you, and no one really cares if you Miss Cao San eats it or not.

Qi Xuanhui's taste for Cui Wanqing, that is, since the capital, has been conducting the most secret and comprehensive investigation.

He knew that his daughter-in-law had a strange taste of salty and sweet mixed together, and this sweet beef and soybean sauce was specially asked by him to find it on the street.

At that time, the people who went back bought at least seven or eight kinds of sauces, such as five-spice sauce, rose sauce, and even fish sauce!

These sauces, no matter what they taste, no matter whether Qi Xuanhui likes them or not, he has tasted them all!

I think the taste of this beef soybean sauce is not bad, light sweetness, fresh and delicious, and I am sure Cui Wanqing will like to eat it.

Immediately used a good box, packed a copy, and asked Wang An to take it personally, no, as soon as the meal was opened, Qi Xuanhui hurriedly asked Wang An to send it to Cui Wanqing.

Since Qi Xuanhui personally said that it was delicious, and he sent someone to send it, Cui Wanqing has to sell face no matter what, right?

She asked Magnolia to get some fine duck meat, held it with chopsticks, and dipped it in some sauce.

Cui Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the duck meat and ordered, "Yulan, you remove the skin and fat, and I'll eat some skinny." ”

Blinking his eyes, he looked at Cao Tang and said, "Tang'er, hurry up and taste it, it's really delicious." ”

Cao Tang pinched some chicken with chopsticks, and shook his head with little interest, "No, I don't like to eat that, cousin Qing, you use yours for yourself, don't worry about me." ”

Yulan reminded her master softly: "There are onions in this sauce, Miss Cousin doesn't like to eat this, so don't let it." ”

"Oh." Cui Wanqing instantly understood, she thought that her cousin was afraid that she would taste it, so she hurriedly instructed Yulan, "After lunch in a while, your tea leaves will come, and I will chew them to taste." ”

Yulan smiled and agreed, and continued to serve her food carefully.

With this box of appetizing sweet sauce, Cui Wanqing ate more and more to her heart's content, using one-third more than usual.

However, Cao Tang didn't eat the sauce, and he thought the duck was too fat, so he only used the cake to roll the beef and tasted it, and the rest tasted some chicken and two pieces of dried tofu.

The two sisters ate together, one of them was extraordinarily sweet and had a good appetite, and the other was a lack of interest and tasted it, this stark contrast is really exciting.

After a while, the lunch was ready, and the sisters rinsed their hands and mouths, cleaned up, and then let the long case out, and drank tea against the couch inside, so that the maids also hurriedly filled their stomachs.

"Yulan, you roll two pieces of cake for Ah Tao and Lao Su and hand them over, don't forget to add some sauce." Cui Wanqing saw that the magnolia ran out, and ordered with a smile.

The carriages they rode in were all newly purchased in Jiangzhou City. The carriage in the south is obviously more delicate than the carriage in the capital, and the result is that only four people can stay.

Ah Tao can only sit outside all the way, thinking that the gap between sitting on the wheel and staying in the car is still a bit big, this is not a good errand, which makes Cui Wanqing inevitably feel some pity for her.

Let Yulan send a piece of bread out to show appeasement, at least let the girl know that the master still understands her hard work.

Cui Wanqing went out this time. Brought Fang's mother. Yulan and Ah Tao are three powerful, and the Jinling sisters are indispensable wherever they go, and they will definitely not be absent.

In addition, he brought two maids, Fang Rong and Wen Gui. plus two old mothers who do chores.

This Lala is a mess. It's ten people younger. This is still only counting the people in the inner house, not counting Cui Shan and the small servants in the outer courtyard.

And Cao Tang brought more people than her, which led to the consequences. It was just the carriage, and there were five of them, and the two carriages that Qi Jia pulled things from, and there were seven carriages alone.

In addition, the horse teams of Cui Cao's two families, together with the horse team of the Qi family, look at it from a distance, but there are really a lot, no matter how idiotic people are, they can see that they are people from wealthy families.

On the side of Hongruo Temple, there are no large bandits, and there are many small thieves in gangs, but as soon as these people saw this battle, they had already shrunk into the depths of the mountains and forests.

Where will they take the initiative to come out and provoke this hard bone that can't be gnawed?

In order to protect the period, Qi Xuanhui focused on arranging his guards at the front and the end of the team, and Shen Chao could not command anyone else except himself, so he could only take it with him.

put Huang Chunguo and Ding Tingfei in the middle of the team, so that whether they are attacked at the head or tail, or in the middle of the ambush, they can quickly meet the enemy with the strongest level!

They were vigilant all the way, but except for hares and pheasants, they didn't even encounter a personal shadow.

Shen Chao, who was eager to try, couldn't help muttering, "Childe, after your arrangement, as long as you are not a fool, you will never rush up to die." ”

"Look at the peace and quiet on this road, how boring is it?"

Qi Xuanhui glanced at Shen Chao, who was holding a branch and smoking it at will, and said lightly, "If you want to kill someone, then you should automatically ask the Holy Lord to transfer you to the northwest or southern Gansu." ”

"Jiangnan has always been a place to enjoy mountains and rivers, if you have such thoughts, you have come to the wrong place."

Shen Chao was a little unable to get off the stage by his fluttering ridicule, and his eyes couldn't help but quickly glance at Liang Dong side by side.

Seeing that this person was looking intently into the distance, looking around, as if he hadn't heard what Qi Xuanhui had just said, he didn't even have a superfluous expression.

Shen Chao's heart was relieved, and he whispered: "Isn't this an idle panic among subordinates? Just casually talk about fun, why are you still serious with your subordinates? ”

When Qi Xuanhui heard this, he tightened the reins of the horse in his hand, a little behind, basically parallel to Shen Chao, he looked at Shen Chao and asked: "You also studied in Pengfei Academy at the beginning, didn't Mr. teach you, a man is a man in the world, he doesn't speak lightly, but he must do what he says?" ”

Shen Chao was dumbfounded by his words, and he didn't know what to say with his eyes open.

Qi Xuanhui shook his head and sighed: "Shen Chao, you can choose to be a gentleman raised by the county government, or you can choose to be a man who stands up to the sky." ”

"You're still young, and you still have a lot of time left in your life, but now is the time for you to make a choice."

"But I always feel that there are already a lot of gentlemen in the capital, and I really don't need you anymore, what do you think?"

After speaking, Qi Xuanhui didn't stop any longer, shook the reins of the horse, clamped his legs, and walked forward.

Leaving a dejected Shen Chao, looking like the frosted eggplant, it was so desolate.

"Our master never does superfluous things, and he doesn't say superfluous things." Liang Dong, who has always acted as a perfect background, said as if talking to himself, "This time I came back to the south, but I first made an exception to Meng Wugongzi, and then looked at Shen Gongzi differently." ”

Speaking of this, Liang Dong turned his face, looked directly at Shen Chao, and said solemnly: "I said Shen Gongzi, don't let down my master's expectations of you." ”

Shen Chao really didn't expect that Liang Dong, a wood-like person, would not be good with anyone in particular, but he suddenly said this to himself.

His head was a little cloudy, "Picking three or four like this, is it looking at me differently?" ”

He was in a mess in his heart, and he squeaked a few times at Liang Dong's words, and he didn't open his mouth again until he entered Hongruo Temple.

The mountain road is crooked, although the road is smooth, but the speed is really not flattering, and it is a little faster than walking.

The time it takes to walk 50 miles of mountain roads is almost worth walking more than 100 miles of flat roads.

Cui Wanqing originally thought that it would arrive in two or three hours, but who knows, when she arrived at the foot of Jingfu Mountain, the sun had already set.

Cao Tang was asking Jade to rub his waist, and when he heard that it was finally coming, he couldn't help frowning and muttering: "Fortunately, I can catch up with the evening fast, and I don't have to eat those nameless foods." ”

She nodded to the left with her backhand, felt Jade press the place she pointed, began to rub it gently, and sighed unconsciously: "This way has turned people upside down, my waist is about to break, Sister Jade, after bathing and changing clothes at night, you have to help me rub it well." ”

Cao Tang, who was in a good mood, and the maids around him who originally looked unpleasant, also got along.

This will talk to Jade, not cold and hard at all, faintly, with a bit of coquettish taste, it is really a lot of affection.

Jade agreed softly, while serving the master more attentively, and her heart was extremely comfortable.

Think about it, is there that maid, who is willing to face it all day long, cold to herself, and wary of it everywhere?

She knew that Cui Wanqing would definitely take a lot of credit for the current result, so she naturally wanted to repay the favor and do her best to Miss Biao.

Jade turned her face to Yulan and smiled: "I have family heirloom herbs there, let's go and boil some hot water together in the evening, pour the herbs into it, and soak the feet of the two young ladies, which is the most relieving of fatigue." ”

It's one thing for Yulan to dare to give her own master and use other people's things, and she will have to receive other people's favors first.

The two families live next to each other, and the time spent together is not short, and the feelings of their own young lady for Miss Cousin are obvious to all.

Therefore, it is also necessary to deal with the big girl next to Cao Tang and get along with it.

She smiled and nodded to Jade, pointed out the window and said, "Look, you can see the eaves of Hongruo Temple!" ”

When Cao Tang heard this, he didn't care about letting Jade rub his waist, so he sat up from the collapse, quickly came to the window, and looked excitedly at the top of the mountain, the golden roof illuminated by the sunset, and smiled happily.

Qi Xuanhui had already sent people to Pegasus to report to Hongruo Temple, so when they stepped into the mountain gate, the wing room prepared for them had already been cleaned and properly prepared.

Hongruo Temple has a high reputation in the south, so there are many pilgrims who come and go.

It already occupies a full Jingfu Mountain, so the house for the female Tanyue to build a resting house is not how to build it, how to build it? (To be continued......)
