Chapter 222: New Love
Su Ruhai originally wanted to wait for Xu Zhilan to eat, and then he came over to talk to Xu Zhilan about the specific situation of the disciples of the Su family and the reasons for recommending the disciples as officials, but he didn't expect Xu Zhilan to leave in a hurry after returning to the house for dinner.
It didn't take long for Liu Mei'er to send someone to invite Su Ruhai and Su Yumei, who were waiting in the palace, to say that they had something to discuss.
"General Su, the prince suddenly remembered that there were still some important things to deal with, and he hurried back to the palace after dinner, and I am afraid that he will not return to the palace tonight. Seeing that the prince had something important, the princess comforted the prince a few more words, but she didn't remember to hand over the list proposed by General Su to the prince. Tomorrow, General Su will set off to welcome the envoy of Jingyang State, and many things must be settled as soon as possible. In this way, among the disciples of the Su family, there are countless talents, but the prince doesn't know about it, otherwise, let Yumei's sister go to the palace and pretend to send supplements to the prince for the concubine, explain it casually, I don't know what General Su thinks? ”
Thinking of her generation of chivalrous women who had become little girls who delivered food to the prince, Su Yumei frowned. She looked at her grandfather and knew that although the princess was in a consultative tone, she could not refuse this matter.
Su Yumei took the waist card of Yangtao Palace, carried the lotus seed soup made by Liu Mei'er herself, and came to the palace depressed.
Xu Zhilan's status in the palace is in full swing, and he is the top boss of the forbidden army, the maidservant of King Yangtao came to send love soup to Princess Mei, and the guards of the forbidden army were very enthusiastic about Su Yumei one by one, of course, Su Yumei was too raw, and the situation that should be asked was still clear.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, Su Yumei didn't know how many verandahs she walked through and how many turns she took to come to the splendid Yangtao Palace.
Guo Gonggong saw Su Yumei's face, for the sake of safety, he asked Su Yumei's identity again, and personally inspected the waist card held by Su Yumei, and then said to Su Yumei with a smile: "Su Nuxia, please come in quickly, the weather is very cold, the palace is some distance from here, the Cha family instructed the palace maid to heat the soup boiled by the princess first, and then send it to King Yangtao!" ”
"There is Lao Guo's father-in-law!"
"Taking care of King Yangtao's daily life is what the Cha family should do!" Speaking of this, Father-in-law Guo glanced at Father-in-law Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei's father-in-law smiled and took the wooden basket containing the crockpot soup from Su Yumei's hand, and turned to leave.
Coming to the small kitchen of Yangtao Palace, Xiao Wei's father-in-law poured out a cup of soup, took a silver needle and dipped it into the soup, and waited for a while before coming out. Although the silver needle did not change color, he still didn't feel at ease and let the palace maid Tian'er drink this cup of soup! After that, he instructed Tian'er to heat up the soup.
Tian'er put the crockpot containing the soup in the big pot, steamed it for half a column of incense, took it out and handed it to Xiao Wei's father-in-law.
Xiao Wei's father-in-law saw that Tian'er's face was ruddy, and there was nothing unusual, he happily carried the soup to the side hall and handed it to Su Yumei, who was waiting impatiently.
Father-in-law Guo got the hint from Father-in-law Xiao Wei's eyes, knowing that the soup was non-poisonous, and after a few minutes, he walked into the side hall and said to Su Yumei with a smile: "Miss Su, the prince is already waiting in the hall, please." ”
Xu Zhilan had heard that Guo Gonggong had already said that Su Yumei had come, and he was very disgusted that Guo Gonggong and these people were suspicious of everyone in order to ensure his safety! Seeing Su Yumei coming over with a food box, he was very upset, stood up from the chair in front of the charcoal fire, and said with a smile: "There is Miss Laosu!" ”
Su Yumei was very upset, but thinking that the Su family was now attached to Xu Zhilan, she forced a smile and said, "This is what subordinates should do." ”
Xiao Wei's father-in-law took the food box in Su Yumei's hand, took the bowl and soup spoon in the palace, poured a bowl for Xu Zhilan, and praised Liu Mei'er for her virtue while pouring, and you can feel the deliciousness of the soup when you smell it.
Xu Zhilan felt that Su Yumei had sent something from afar, and when he watched him finish drinking and then put the bowl back, he was very upset, so he asked Xiao Wei's father-in-law to pour a bowl for Su Yumei as well.
Su Yumei was indeed a little thirsty, so she simply said thank you, and then took a big sip.
Xiao Wei's father-in-law shook his head secretly in his heart, feeling that Su Yumei didn't know how to be polite, and she should "thank you" for being extremely grand, and then show her loyalty. This Su Yumei is good, just drink it first than Xu Zhilan, and after drinking, she didn't even have a compliment to praise Princess Mei's craftsmanship to cover the world!
"It's the life of an inferior minion who delivers soup and chores!" Xiao Wei's father-in-law made the ultimate judgment on Su Yumei's career in his heart.
Xu Zhilan took a shallow sip of love soup, feeling that the taste was very ordinary, and when he saw the expression on Su Yumei's face sitting in the distance, he finally remembered the matter of the Su family, waved his hand, and asked Guo Gonggong and the others to exit the hall.
"Miss Su, Princess Mei asked you to bring soup, there should be something else, right?"
"Back to King Yangtao, the princess asked her subordinates to bring the Su family's roster over to King Yangtao for seeing!" Su Yumei reached into her arms, took out a list, and walked to Xu Zhilan's side with a big grin.
I saw a lot of the rules in the palace, and suddenly saw Su Yumei like this, Xu Zhilan was stunned for two seconds, smiled, took the list, and said, "You sit down first, and wait for this king to see." ”
Su Yumei nodded, just wanted to sit down next to Xu Zhilan, and when she was about to ask a question to Xu Zhilan nearby, she wanted to explain the reason why her grandfather hired people, but after she drank the soup, she was even more thirsty, and she wanted to drink some tea, and it was not good to pour tea by herself as a guest, she wanted to drink some more soup to quench her thirst, and her eyes naturally glanced at the soup bowl on the table of the eight immortals not far away.
Xu Zhilan saw Su Yumei's appearance and thought that she liked Liu Mei'er's soup, so he smiled and said, "You bring the soup and sit next to this king and drink it." ”
Su Yumei saw the smile on the corner of Xu Zhilan's mouth, she blushed, but she was really thirsty, since what she thought in her heart had been seen by Xu Zhilan, she generously went to bring the soup.
Xu Zhilan took a sip of soup while looking at the list of the Su family and Su Ruhai's suggestions for protecting the palace and the Seven Star Restaurant.
Su Yulin was arranged by Su Ruhai to take a group of weaker young disciples to the Seven Star Restaurant; Su Ruhai and his son Su Jin took the masters of the Su family to sit in the Yangtao Palace. The master protects the important land of the palace, and the second to maintain the safety of the restaurant, this routine is correct, Xu Zhilan has no opinion on this; Su Ruhai asked for more than a few officials, and Xu Zhilan wanted to refute it, but seeing Su Yumei's nervous appearance, he softened.
"Okay, Su Aiqing is very thoughtful, this king agrees, and this will officially write an edict for you to take back!"
Su Yumei's tense heart finally let go and said, "Thank you King Yangtao!" ”
Xu Zhilan nodded slightly, it was still early to calculate the hour, he called Xiang'er in first, and instructed her to take the list to find Chen Shangshu from the military department, and borrow or buy the equipment needed by the Su family from Chen Shangshu.
When she came to Xu Zhilan's study, Su Yumei saw that Xu Zhilan wanted to polish the ink herself, so she took the initiative to help. It's not that she suddenly understands etiquette this time, but when her grandfather writes, she sharpens the ink.
