Chapter 35: The Third Young Master Who Is Difficult to Serve
Shen Qian glanced at him, Qingfeng was a few years younger than him, he had followed him since he was a child, when he was learning art in Moganshan, Qingfeng also followed, he was ten years old at the time, Qingfeng was only five years old, but he squatted with him every day, ran the mountain road, although the master did not accept him as a disciple, but in Shen Qian's heart, Qingfeng was his well-deserved junior brother.
But for some reason, Qingfeng just didn't like that person, that person came to Moganshan to learn from him, and after passing the assessment of the old man Tianji, he officially became Shen Qian's junior brother.
He is a humble person, and he is also very respectful and polite to his teacher, even if it is Shen Qian's retinue Qingfeng, he is also very friendly, and often calls wild things to send to Qingfeng, but Qingfeng has always disliked him.
Shen Qian smiled a little helplessly, and only in front of his retinue, a brother who was in love, would he show his true emotions, "Actually, I don't want to, but you should know that the current situation is very unfavorable to our Shen family, the emperor is getting older, and he is more and more jealous of the Shen family's power. ”
Qingfeng's face flashed with confusion, "But when Gongzi went down the mountain, the old man of Tianji once instructed him not to participate in royal affairs......"
Shen Qian smiled, patted Qingfeng's shoulder, and said, "It's already in the game, if I don't fight, what is left to us will definitely be destroyed, it's better to gamble once."
Qingfeng disagreed, "But even if you want to gamble, why did Gongzi choose to choose him?" Why not choose the most favored one today? ”
Shen Qian shook his head, "You only see the forces behind them, but you don't know that the emperor has long been afraid of their power, as the emperor, what he hates the most is that his relatives are in power, so he will never be able to sit in that position." ”
The master and servant were silent, both worried about the future of the Shen Mansion, and Shen Qian himself didn't know whether the path he chose was right or wrong?
Here in the kitchen, Meng Xiaoran listened to Lu Yi's instructions, the third young master loves spicy food like the Chen family, but now that he has broken his leg and the wound has not healed, the doctor told him not to eat spicy, so he gradually became impatient with eating light dishes every day.
But he really can't eat spicy, which makes Meng Xiaoran a little worried, if he doesn't do it well, he will inevitably be punished, she thought for a while, and she can only start from the taste.
A small cup of big bone yam soup was stewed in a clay pot, simmered slowly over low heat, and the aroma in the small kitchen gradually overflowed, Chunyu was still a little girl, smelling the fragrance and couldn't help but come closer, and asked: "Sister Lufu, what are you doing, so fragrant?" ”
"It's just ordinary pork ribs and yam soup, and it will be fragrant after simmering for a long time." Meng Xiaoran smiled and said to Chunyu, who kept swallowing saliva.
Meng Xiaoran racked his brains, and finally made Liu Chengming's dinner, a cup of fragrant big bone yam soup, a plate of braised pork knuckle with sticky soup, a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs with ruddy color, and a wild pheasant, stewed with wild mushrooms, and three refreshing and delicious seasonal vegetables, a total of eight dishes, packed in a food box and sent to the warm pavilion.
As soon as he entered the warm pavilion, the warmth on his face made Meng Xiaoran can't help but sneez, the earth dragon in the warm pavilion is burning too strong, and it is already a little cold outside at this time, but it is slightly hot inside, and the windows around are also closed, the room is very stuffy, anyone who stays in such an environment will be irritable, right?
There are also a few maids in the warm pavilion, all of them are big maids who have been serving by Liu Chengming's side since childhood, and they moved over with them this time, and when Meng Xiaoran came over, she saw that the maid who was standing at the door to greet her had red eyes, and she should have been scolded.
Entering the inner room, the feeling of suffocation inside was even worse, Meng Xiaoran felt a sense of breathlessness, and when several maids saw her come in, they immediately greeted her, "It's the green lady who Madame has newly transferred from the big kitchen, right?" Seeing Meng Xiaoran nodding, she turned her head to Liu Chengming, who was lying on the bed and her face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and said, "Young Master, I heard that Miss Green Fu is ingenious, please try the dinner she made for you today." ”
Meng Xiaoran put down the food box and brought it out one by one, and the big girl who spoke just now took the tray and brought the fragrant dishes over, fortunately, the amount of each serving was small, otherwise Meng Xiaoran would have to worry about how she could hold such a large tray from a girl's family.
Liu Chengming seemed to be in a very bad mood, squinting at the dishes on the plate, and suddenly picked up the small crockpot and threw it at Meng Xiaoran, she quickly moved to the side slightly, and the crockpot fell to the ground with a "pop", her heart tightened, if it wasn't for her martial arts just now, this steaming soup would have smashed on herself, maybe it was her face......
Liu Chengming glared at her angrily, "Let you cook like this?" Get a broken crockpot to fool me? Saying that, he picked up another plate of vegetables and smashed it as usual, Meng Xiaoran was on guard, and quietly dodged, not letting a drop of vegetable juice get on his body.
As if he was still angry, Liu Chengming slapped the maid standing next to the bed again, and the maid immediately knelt on the ground, bowing her head and not daring to speak, and the room instantly fell into an eerie silence, and the four big maids all knelt on the ground, only Meng Xiaoran was still standing, standing in the mess of a pile of meals.
"Who are you? Why not kneel? ”
Meng Xiaoran's heart was full of sneers, and she couldn't wait to go up and slap him twice, she lowered her head and replied, "The slave doesn't know what's wrong, why do you kneel?" "This dead child dares to be so arrogant, and she will treat him well today.
Liu Chengming didn't expect her to say this, he was stunned for a while, he hadn't eaten seriously for several days, and occasionally ate some snacks, which would be angry, and then smelled the aroma of the dishes he dropped on the ground, and his stomach suddenly rang uncontrollably.
The sound was very obvious in such a quiet room, Liu Chengming couldn't help blushing, and asked again, "What are you doing?" Go and make another one, Young Master Ben is hungry. ”
Hmph, think beautifully!
Meng Xiaoran continued to lower his head, "Returning to the young master, these dishes are all made by the slave maid with an afternoon of hard work, just this cup of big bone yam soup, it has been boiled all afternoon, and now I am afraid it will be too late." ”
"You! If you want to do it, you will go, and you dare to talk back, where did your mother find her subordinates? Keep your head up! Meng Xiaoran kept her head down, and Liu Chengming didn't see what she looked like, so she said that.
When Meng Xiaoran raised his head, Liu Chengming couldn't help but be stunned, this maid was even more beautiful than Zidai, although he was still young, but he had been lingering in the Qinglou of Gefang for a long time, and he had seen countless women, but none of them could compare to the maid in front of him.
"You...... What's your name? Liu Chengming asked with a little stammer, his momentum was obviously much weaker.
Meng Xiaoran naturally didn't know that Liu Chengming had a spring heart at a young age, and he was a little kid, fourteen years old was just a little boy who had just entered junior high school in modern times, and she thought that she had made the third young master deflated.
"The slave's name is Green Fu."
Liu Chengming didn't know why, he couldn't get angry at her, and his stomach rumbled again, which made him ashamed and annoyed, and then Meng Xiaoran said: "Third young master, the slave and maid deliberately made more when cooking in the afternoon, and there is not much excess, if the third young master does not dislike it, the slave and maid will go and get it." ”
"Go, go!" Liu Chengming immediately waved her hand to let her go quickly, and then shouted to the four maids who were kneeling on the ground: "You guys also get up quickly, clean up the ground, look upset!" ”
The four maids hurriedly got up, their hands and feet were very neat, and soon the mess on the ground was cleaned up, and when Meng Xiaoran came in again, he saw that the room had returned to its original state, and couldn't help but sigh at their efficiency.
Liu Chengming almost gobbled it up, Meng Xiaoran stood aside and watched, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he was just a child.
The young master had dinner, and the news was soon known by the Chen family, she walked out of the house with joy, accompanied by Zhang's mother, and came to the warm pavilion, and when she came in, she couldn't help but be happy when she saw Liu Chengming sitting on the bed with a satisfied face.
"Ming'er, my son, can be regarded as eating, my mother is worried about death!" Chen went to the side of the bed, took Liu Chengming's hand and said.
Some time ago, Liu Chengming was very impatient with his mother, and Chen was driven away by him without saying a few words, so she didn't dare to come often, which would see that her son had no impatience on his face, and she was more satisfied.
"Ming'er, how's it going? Is this green fu still to your liking? ”
Liu Chengming nodded one last time, Chen smiled, and said to Zhang's mother: "Go back and reward that girl!" After a period of filial piety, Chen went back accompanied by Zhang's mother.
Liu Chengming, who was full of food and drink, finally felt comfortable lying on the bed, and felt that the long night was long, so he wanted to call Lu Fu to talk at night, he called outside twice, "Jin'er, Jin'er!" ”
The maid guarding outside is Liu Chengming's personal maid Jin'er, and she is also the one who has just been slapped by him, she is covering her face with an ice veil, and when she heard the young master call her to quickly put down the veil, she opened the curtain and walked in.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Go and call the green veg, I'm going to talk to her." Liu Chengming's face was excited.
Jin'er was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and went out, but her heart was very uncomfortable, these days, the young master has beaten and scolded her, the big girl who has been serving since she was a child, but I didn't expect that green fu to win the young master's heart as soon as she came, isn't it just relying on that face, fox!
Jin'er went to call someone here, and the Chen family over there immediately knew about it, and called Meng Xiaoran over, staring at her with dissatisfaction on her face, and only spoke up after a long time: "Lu Fu, the young master is only fourteen years old, and he still doesn't understand personnel, you are a lot older, don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have, and bring the young master badly, you know?" ”
Is it for mothers all over the world, as long as their son is close to other girls, it is because they are seduced? Meng Xiaoran was speechless in his heart, who would have thoughts about that ignorant child?
She lowered her head and replied, "Madame, don't worry, the slave and maid will never think about anything wrong, and just want to serve Madame well." ”
