It was the first time for Nalan Jinxiu to go to the warm pavilion on the other side of the study, with all the tables and chairs, and it was very spacious. She secretly thought that the third brother might often dine here and meet guests.

At this time, three more maidservants came in, all of whom were very peugeot. Nalan Jinxiu looked at the girls serving the food in front of her, like flowers, and she was really a little unbearable.

In fact, she can't be blamed for this, the third brother has never had a woman here, and it is normal for her to be a little unaccustomed to it for a while. However, Nalan Jinxiu didn't bother much on this issue, because the meal was served quickly.

She looked at the mat and blinked: vegetarian assorted soup, steamed crab, braised mandarin fish, tamales, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised mutton, and a few tender stir-fried vegetables.

The third brother never wastes effort on eating on weekdays, and each meal is a simple four dishes and one soup. She didn't know that early in the morning, Ji Hongye ordered the kitchen that he was going to bring people back for lunch today, so it was more hearty than usual.

This dish is very well cooked, it looks good, it looks delicious, and I don't know where the third brother got the cook. She waited and waited, but before Ji Hongye came out, she saw these beautiful maids in front of her, standing in a proper manner.

She was indeed a little hungry, but none of these maidservants looked like they were going to serve her food, probably thinking that the master had not yet arrived. Normally, she would do it herself, but she was a little embarrassed to have these extra people out of thin air.

She was silently thinking in her heart that the third brother would come back soon, and she saw a few amorous maidservants, exchanged glances with each other, and went out.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at the closed door, a little surprised. Why is she also a guest of the third brother, and she has lived in the Ji Mansion for so many years, how can these people all think that she is air?

The grandmother has always been strict in rectifying the inner house, not to mention these subordinates, even if the masters are humble and humble, they must also be clear. The third brother is even more etiquette-minded, how could there be so many bastard things! If the people in her house dared to do this, she would definitely punish them severely and make them have a better memory.

thinks so, but in the end it is not her maid, so she doesn't take it to heart, and if she wants to be punished, the third brother will punish herself. Now that they're all gone, she won't be holding the shelf, and she's going to be hungry for the food on this table.

When Ji Hongye changed his regular clothes and came out, his face was a little dark. As soon as she entered the door, she happened to see Nalan Jinxiu peeling crabs, and when she saw him, she didn't have the crampedness of doing it first without waiting for the master, but said with a smile: "Third brother, come and peel crabs for me, I can't peel one for half a day." ”

Ji Hongye frowned and said, "Crabs are cold, how can you eat them?" As she spoke, she reached out and snatched the crab away from her hand, pushing the entire plate aside.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know why: "Why can't I eat it? You gave me a lot of food last time." ”

"That was before, and you can't eat it now. "The last time she was in pain like that, he blamed himself for a long time. secretly warned herself that she couldn't do anything in the future, but she didn't have a long memory.

"Third brother......" she said glutinously, obviously flattering.

Ji Hongye was unmoved, he sat down and sandwiched a chopstick fish meat for her: "Eat this." ”

Nalan Jinxiu still looked at the crab, Ji Hongye sighed, and called someone to come in and take it away. It was the purple-clothed maid who came in just now, she cleaned up the crabs and let them go, and she stood beside Ji Hongye, thinking that she wanted to give him vegetables.

Ji Hongye didn't speak, and took a bowl of soup and handed it to Nalan Jinxiu first. Nalan Jinxiu took a sip and felt that it tasted very good, and was about to ask the third brother to serve a bowl as well, but found that the servant girl had already sandwiched the braised mutton on his side.

She has never been accustomed to being served by others, and how will others know what she wants to eat? I can't see that the third brother is quite used to it. There was something wrong with her mouth, and she couldn't tell if it was sour or not, so she pointed to Ji Hongye's plate and said, "I want that too." ”

Ji Hongye didn't touch the meat, he was putting vegetables on a small plate, and after listening to her words, his face suddenly fell. Pushing the stewed mutton aside, he said coldly, "Remove this too." ”

The purple-clothed maid hesitated for a moment, and Ji Hongye scolded angrily: "Are you having a bad ear? I'll let you take it down!"

She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and her voice was a little aggrieved: "The adults don't like it, the slave and maid will let people take it down." ”

Ji Hongye probably couldn't stand her like this, and said very unhappily: "You also go down, don't appear in front of me without my orders." ”

The purple-clothed maid was startled, knelt on the ground and wanted to cry, looking like I was pitiful, and her voice was still delicate: "Young master...... Zi Yan didn't know where she made a mistake, which made the young master unhappy, and I hope that the young master will make it clear that you can beat or punish her, but don't drive Zi Yan away! Zi Yan was ordered to serve......

Nalan Jinxiu thought, it turns out that her name is Zi Yan! This name is quite nice. Generally, the maid has no name, and even if there is, it is what kind of spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum, summer flowers and winter snow, and even more is the big girl and the second girl. Zi Yan seems to be taken by people who read poetry and books.

However, she doesn't seem to be very smart, the third brother seems to be elegant and gentle on the outside, but in fact he is a cool personality on the inside. When she was asked to step down, she was naturally impatient, if she stepped back obediently, the third brother would be angry if she continued to cry like this.

Sure enough, after Ji Hongye was silent for a moment, he said something that Nalan Jinxiu never thought the third brother would say: "Where did you come from, go back!"

He was already in charge of punishment, and no matter how much he read the books of sages and sages, no matter how elegant he had the elegant temperament of the mountains and rivers, he was majestic after all. This tantrum, although it was just a cold sentence, also made Zi Yan feel that she jumped from the puddle to the fire pit at once, and she was afraid.

Some people are born with waste wood, and they don't run away when they feel scared, crying and begging for mercy, and begging others to be lenient. Ji Hongye rubbed his forehead, then looked at Zi Yan, who was kneeling on the ground and refused to leave, and finally let Long Yi drag him out.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that the third brother was a little too much now, how could such a delicate woman be dragged out, and she didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all. However, she was still a little happy in her heart. Why she was happy, she didn't think deeply, and she didn't want to think deeply.

But what made Nalan Jinxiu puzzled was that she had never seen the third brother get so angry, and she had never even seen him lose his temper. Is it because I want to eat mutton? What happened to the stewed mutton?

Nalan Jinxiu dragged the mutton plate on the table, looked closer, sniffed it again, and found that it was not mutton at all. She looked at Ji Hongye and asked puzzledly, "Third brother, what kind of meat is this?"

"......" Ji Hongye didn't answer, only put the small plate he had just picked up the vegetables in front of her, his eyebrows were still cold and hard, but his voice softened: "Eat well." ”

Nalan Jinxiu saw that the third brother avoided answering, and had a plan in his heart, squinted his eyes, and whispered, "Is that venison?"

Ji Hongye coughed, his expression was a little unnatural. Nalan Jinxiu originally just watched the third brother get angry, and guessed with that Zi Yanjiao's delicate appearance, but now she is sure in her heart.

Her third brother has never liked Fengyue, thinking that Zi Yan wanted to climb into his bed but had no way, so she made a decision. Venison is alive and bloody, and the third brother is in the prime of life, so he naturally can't stand it.

She has been a human being for two lifetimes, and the inner house is extremely clean, and she has never encountered this situation. If she hadn't been proficient in pharmacology and knew the effects of venison, she would never have imagined this.

As soon as Ji Hongye saw her eyes, he knew what she was thinking, he served her vegetables again, and said, "Don't care so much at a young age, eat your food well." ”

"This is the third brother's business, and I naturally have to take care of it. ”

Ji Hongye looked at her with some amusement: "Then what do you say?"

Nalan Jinxiu thought about it sideways, and said seriously: "I'll prescribe you a few mild medicines, which you can use to make tea and drink, which can best cultivate your body." ”

Ji Hongye saw that she was serious about saying this, and couldn't help but want to laugh, and said in a low voice: "No need." ”

"Grandmother gave it to you?" she asked tentatively.

Ji Hongye smiled and said lightly: "What do you think?" Grandmother has never mentioned his marriage since he met Cheng's mother and daughter, and her old man knows better than anyone else, and now she is afraid that she is waiting to sit back and enjoy it.

"Who sent that? your colleague?" she had heard that among the high-ranking officials of the court, there were those who sent beautiful concubines.

Ji Hongye shook his head.

Nalan Jinxiu can't be his uncle......! It seems unlikely, isn't my uncle afraid of delaying the third brother's study? No, he is now a second-class member of the imperial court, where do you still need to study, talking about family affairs is the most important.

The third brother's appearance of not being close to women inevitably requires some extraordinary means, so he sent Zi Yan's group of people over. They are from low backgrounds, if they become adults, they will be accepted as a room, or they will carry their aunts, if not, they will be sent away.

In Ningguo, men with a little money have a group of wives and concubines. The inner house of an ordinary family is still like this, let alone a powerful and rich family like the Ji family?

I don't know if the third brother will one day marry a group of women like his uncle and return home. Even if he doesn't want to, as the only son-in-law of the Ji family, he always has to spread out for the family. The identity is here, and I probably can't help myself!

Nalan Jinxiu thought about it and lost her mind, and looked up to find that the third brother was looking at her steadily, his eyes were deep. She was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and lowered her head and drank soup with a bowl in both hands.

This girl...... How can there be such a soup drinker, do you use the spoon as an ornament? Ji Hongye put the spoon in her hand, and gave her a piece of fish meat, and cleaned all the fish bones by the way.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't speak, and obediently ate the fish meat he brought over. Ji Hongye didn't use chopsticks much herself, but kept serving her vegetables, she didn't refuse to come, and only ate what he caught on the plate.

The style of painting is a little strange, but it's really harmonious.
