Qiu's mother turned the fish in the basin over, mixed the juice, and prepared to extend the stacking time by another five minutes.

Marinate the fish for half an hour with cooking wine, soy sauce, ginger and shallots, light soy sauce, pepper, etc., and then steam it in a hot pot, which not only makes it more flavorful, but also retains the original freshness and tenderness of the fish to the greatest extent. As far as river fresh is concerned, this cooking method is the easiest and the most difficult, and the key point is to grasp the heat.

He Zhanting loves this dish the most, and Qiu's mother also regards it as a masterpiece, and she has never missed it. But today she doesn't have much confidence, there is such a big thing in the main family, He Zhanting is so angry that he is in bed, no matter how good the delicacy is, I am afraid that it will not be able to change the low pressure at home.

She washed her hands and waited for the pickling to be completed, when she suddenly heard a noise on the porch, and guessed that Qin Luo had returned. As a housekeeper, it is Qin Luo's duty to work hard for his master, especially at this juncture, it is the first urgent priority to wander around to dredge up the relationship and strive to get the hostess out.

She wiped her hands and walked out, only to find that it was not Qin Luo who entered the door, but another domestic servant who was in charge of guarding outside the gate, nicknamed Kun Zai.

Kun Zai's behavior was obviously reckless, and she immediately crossed her waist and scolded angrily: "Who let you in, eat leopard gall!" ”

Kun Zai's face suddenly turned red, and he was at a loss: "Aunt Qiu, I, I'm here to deliver something." ”

"What's that?" She asked, in a tone similar to that of a master.

"Master's letter." Kun Tsai handed over a letter, and his armpits were already sweating.

"I don't know the rules, just put the letter package outside, who asked you to send it in." Qiu's mother took the letter unhappily, put it on the shoe cabinet without looking at it, and then pushed the door open, "Go out quickly, let the master see it later, I can't eat and walk around." ”

There are only a few protagonists in He Mansion, one was moved, one was lost, and one was arrested, leaving only He Zhanting. But there are dozens of servants here, following strict hierarchies and strict rules, and there is a clear disparity between high and low. Like Qin Luo and Qiu Ma, the income status of the top arithmetic who enters the house is very different from that of others. Outside the gate, the guards are the last class, and they are generally not allowed to enter the room.

Kun Tsai was pushed out of the door, and Qiu's mother was about to close the door, but he instructed: "Okay...... It seems to be a letter from the young master. ”

Qiu's mother's heart chuckled, and she looked back at the letter on the shoe cabinet.

"Young Master...... How do you know it's a letter from the young master? ”

"The person who delivered the letter said that he was sent by the young master, and he also told him to hand it over to the master himself."

"What about people?"

"It's gone."

"Do you know?"

"I haven't seen it, but like the young master, at first glance, he looks like a rich man......"

The young man spoke regardless of the occasion, which made Qiu's mother a little unaccustomed to it, she arched her eyebrows and twitched the corners of her mouth: "I know, the master is asleep, turn back to him." Then, without waiting for another word, he closed the door.

has been a cook in the He family for more than ten years, and she can be said to have watched He Chong grow up, and her love has long exceeded the friendship of master and servant. After learning from Qin Luo's mouth that the young master had run away from home again, she was also worried from morning to night.

The reason why I say it again is because this is not the first time He Chong has run away from home. Since he was a child, he has used this method to confront his father several times, but it rarely works. Even if you buy a property separately later, you have to come back twice in three days to sign in, strictly speaking, you have never left this home. All this is only because He Zhanting adheres to the principle of not being able to shake the thunder - never bow to his children.

So He Chong always came back soon after leaving, and every then, she would open a small stove alone, make some of He Chong's favorite foods to help please and coax, like a role like an aunt and grandmother.

This time was no exception, she had been waiting for the wayward young master to return as soon as possible, and she had even thought about what to cook. So whether the letter on the shoe cabinet revealed the time He Chong went home, she was extremely concerned, and even had the urge to open it.

Impulses are impulses after all, and she doesn't dare to do that. I faintly heard that something big happened in the family, the old man fell ill, the wife was arrested, and the young master in charge of the house was nowhere to be found...... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh to herself.

Five minutes later, the fish was ready to be cooked, and just as he was about to return to the kitchen, Qin Luo entered the house.

"Old Qin, the young master sent someone." She immediately pointed to the letter.

Qin Luo was still taking off his shoes, and when he saw the letter, an expression of distrust appeared on his face.

"If you don't go home and don't call, why do you write letters?"

"How do I know...... she leaned over to him and lowered her voice, "there must be something that I can't say in my heart, so I'll write it." You send it in for the master to see, and beg him not to be angry. If there is such a big thing at home, it is important to let the young master come back quickly, and it is not too late to go back and talk about it if it is counted. ”

Qin Luo picked up the letter, and seemed to have the intention of opening it.

"You go and get busy, I'll send it in for the master."

"Hmm." Qiu's mother nodded and turned back to the kitchen.

Qin Luo held the letter in his hand, thought about it step by step, and slowly walked towards He Zhanting's bedroom.

Bang bang bang - he knocked lightly on the door, leaned over the side and asked, "Master, I'm back." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" An uncomfortable coughing sound came from inside the room.

Pushing the door in, He Zhanting was lying on the bed, with a thick pillow behind his back.

"How?" He asked bluntly.

Qin Luo respectfully walked to the bed and straightened him, He Zhanting cooperated and moved his butt backwards and sat up completely.

"It's not easy to do, the matter is in trouble, more than a dozen pairs of eyes are staring, and those in the city don't dare to interfere. Xie Yuankui had already offended many people, and this time the East Window incident happened, they were all waiting to see how he died. ”

"Where's my uncle?"

"I'm so angry that I'm in bed, and I'm still on a drip when I go." Qin Luo was really tired, so he dragged a stool and sat down, "Master, listen to my uncle's meaning, I'm afraid he has something to do with this matter, thank God if he can do it without being implicated, how dare he walk around for his wife." ”

"Then he only cares about self-preservation, and his niece won't save him?" He Zhanting said indignantly.

"It's not that it's not guaranteed, it's that there's no way. How could my uncle be willing to watch his wife suffer, but unfortunately he retired early, and his connections in the officialdom are not as good as you, my lord. I haven't found him at this time, and not taking the initiative to come forward is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net. Therefore, he begged the master to do his best to rescue his wife, and your great kindness and virtue will be repaid by his old man as a cow and a horse in the next life. ”

", the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, if he wasn't arrogant all the year round, Xin Mu would have been so bold." As soon as He Zhanting raised his hand, Qin Luo hurriedly got up and helped him out of bed and put on his coat, "If something happens, you can't cover it and you know that you begged me, when I asked him for help, I don't know how many rolls of his eyes were." ”

"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, there are a lot of masters, so don't worry so much about it at this time. Uncle lost power a few years ago, don't you still have to rely on your ideas for small emergencies and big troubles? I don't think he's shirking, it's really okay, and when he left, he bowed to me, because he was not in good health, if he was good, he would have come to the door early to ask for it. ”

"Gotta get it, don't come, how can you have the heart to greet him." He Zhanting opened his mouth irritably, and pinched the temples on both sides with his big finger and middle finger, "If you want to rescue Xin Mu now, I'm afraid you can only move the relationship between Secretary Liang's side." ”

"You mean Secretary Liang Shichu of the Provincial Party Committee?"

"Well, Secretary Liang is in a high position, and if he can come forward, there is still room for things to be returned. I've already figured out that as long as he is willing to say hello to the provincial department, Xin Mu can save his life. If your life is saved, half of the trouble will be gone, and the rest will be easy to say. Count it one by one, which is not something that sees the eyes of money, and when the time comes, take the money to open the way and secretly release people, and the gods are unaware of it......"

"The master is clever!" Qin Luo bowed his hand and saluted, his admiration overflowing, "It seems that the old man still thinks about his wife." ”

"Hey, quarrel after quarrel, after all, husband and wife, how can they not be saved when they die. It's just that Lujiang No. 1 is completely finished, and the house has not been repaired before it has encountered such a big bad luck, and it will not be easy for Aogu to do business in the future. ”

Qin Luo hung the letter in his hand in a conspicuous place in front of his leg, and He Zhanting saw it at a glance.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

"Oh, look at what I'm busy with, I almost forgot, it's the young master's letter." Qin Luo handed the letter over, "I said that I must ask the master to see it himself." ”

"What about the bastard?" He Zhanting's face instantly tensed.

"I don't know, he sent someone to the house, enlarged the door and left."

He Zhanting wrinkled his nose and looked at it, opening the envelope along the edge.

"The things that add fuel to the fire, the family is in such a mess and I don't know how to come back to help, Lao Tzu hurts him in vain......"

As he spoke, he spread out the letter and looked down the lines, his face changing dramatically.

Qin Luo watched as the letter slipped out of his hand, and the suffocation that could not breathe was written on He Zhanting's face again.

"Sir."

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out of He Zhanting's mouth, and his eyes almost fell out.

"What's wrong with you, sir, don't scare me." Qin Luo hurriedly squatted in front of his knees and picked up the letter to read.

"How did I raise such a conscienceless thing......" He Zhanting said almost crying, trembling with despair.

After reading the contents of the letter, Qin Luo understood what was going on, and immediately helped him back to the bed again and lay flat.

"The old man is angry, the young master is young and willful, and he has not yet reached the age of inheriting the family business to share the worries of his parents, you give him more time, I am afraid that it will not be long before he comes back." I used to have a temper with the master, didn't I just go out, and I came back in three or five days, so don't worry. ”

He Zhanting gasped for breath, and his face was already blue with anger. Qin Luo pulled the household oxygen mask placed at the head of the bed over his mouth, but he raised his hand to knock over the teacup on the cabinet.

"Lao Tzu Quan has never given birth to this evil son, Quan Quan has died when he is dead!"

"Sir, you can't get too excited."

He Zhanting couldn't stop coughing, and his uncomfortable appearance seemed to be about to spit out his heart and lungs together.

"What can we do with Oko, if no one is in charge......" he said in despair.

Qin Luo reminded tentatively: "There is also a young lady." ”

He Zhanting closed his eyes, as if accepting a last resort reality. It took a long time to open his eyes, trembling and ordering: "For today's plan, I can only call Ina back first, go, you go to her." ”

Qin Luo nodded knowingly, helped him cover the quilt, and made sure that the oxygen mask was emitting oxygen, before leaving the room backwards.
