The guards outside the door rushed in when they heard the noise, and the small kitchen was overcrowded, and the cooks who were preparing the dishes stopped and watched in horror.

"Uncle." The boy cried out in horror, and took pity behind an old man with pale sideburns, who was not tall and had a straight waist. He is the chef in charge of the mansion of the Jiedu Envoy, named Zhu San, who has been serving the Li family for 30 years, and has won the trust of Li Na and Li Shigu father and son. From the deputy envoy and the marching Sima to the Confucius and the army, they were all very polite to him, and they all called Master Zhu when they met.

"Uncle, I'm afraid."

"Wan'er, don't be afraid, what about uncle?"

Zhu San saw that Li Mao made a fuss and shocked his niece Zhu Wan'er, and his heart couldn't help but be angry, he let Zhu Wan'er behind him, and his waist straightened. Li Mao, Zhu San is no stranger, Li Mao listened to the tune outside the Yimen, Zhu San noticed him, his niece Zhu Wan'er has reached the age of marriage, he has always wanted to find a young talent for her, although Zhu San is only the Li family's cook, but because of his merits over the years, Li Na's prelude he was the head of the Zhengjiu Pindian Guest Department, and he was also an official eunuch.

The niece Zhu Wan'er is smart and beautiful, and she is deeply favored by Li Shigu's wife, Mrs. Pei, and often has to be served. Li Shigu's daughter Yi Niang is six years old, brought up by Wan'er, although the little girl is young but domineering, she is the king in the back house, no one buys her account, and she serves Wan'er alone, because of this, Mrs. Pei recognized Zhu Wan'er as her daughter, hoping to be a companion to Yi Niang, although this matter has not been clearly proven, but everyone in the festival is well known, with this relationship, Zhu San deduced that it is not difficult to find a good family for his niece.

Zhu San is very satisfied with Li Mao's conditions, the only thing he is dissatisfied with is that he is married and wants his niece to be a concubine for him, which is absolutely unacceptable, and this matter is over, because of this, Zhu San knows Li Mao well. But Li Mao didn't know anything about Zhu San, and after coming to Yunzhou, he also wanted to follow the practice in Gushan Town and find out the interpersonal relationships in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, but the water in Yunzhou was obviously too deep, and he had more than enough strength to do it, and he didn't know where to start.

Although the status of these people like Ma Ben and the kitchen is humble, because of their proximity to the master, their energy is often not to be underestimated, this truth Li Mao deeply understands, so when the young man dodged and dodged, he did not chase and fight, otherwise he would have taken him down at this moment. Seeing Zhu San guarding him in public, Li Mao had a number in his heart.

He raised his hand to stop the guards, stared at Zhu San with a straight gaze, and asked with a smile on his face: "Dare to ask Master Zhu, who is this person?" ”

Li Mao unloaded the Qing Navy Gushan Town Envoy, came to listen to the tune, outsiders saw that he was degraded, but Zhu San did not see it that way, in the Jiedu Embassy for 30 years, he saw a lot of ups and downs, and the so-called favor and disgrace have no absolute boundaries, especially these people who hung the Jiedu Guard, today they sit on a cold bench and drink tea under the reed mat shed, maybe they will go out of the town tomorrow, for the princes of one side, the success or failure of honor and disgrace changes quickly like a play on the stage.

Isn't that the Li Mao in front of him, he was still sitting on the cold bench yesterday, and today he can shake his majesty, you can laugh at him for making a fuss and holding chicken feathers as an arrow, but he has to respect this chicken feather arrow.

Zhu Sanqiang took a breath.

"She's my niece, what do you command?"

Li Maopi smiled and said: "Master Zhu is so open-minded, he actually accepted a female disciple." ”

Zhu San snorted coldly when he heard the bad words, and replied in a hard voice: "Wan'er came to learn art from me to follow Madame's instructions, does the Ya think there is anything wrong?" Li Mao smiled when he heard this: "Madame's orders are naturally appropriate. Having said that, his eyes were still staring at Zhu San's uncle and nephew. The kitchen steward on the side squeezed in from outside the door, separated Li Mao and Zhu San, and said: "I don't know, Mrs. saw that Miss Wan'er's soup was good, so she sent her to the kitchen to learn two new dishes from Master Zhu, so that she could be served at any time." ”

A guard leaned into Li Mao's ear and whispered: "It is true that Miss Wan'er has been with her wife since she was a child, and it is also true that she learned art from Master Zhu. ”

Li Mao sighed and said with a sneer: "I see, I was reckless, Master Zhu should not be blamed." ”

After saying that, he arched his hand and came out of the smoky and burning grass house. One of Zhu San's disciples spat on the ground disdainfully, and asked Zhu Wan'er with concern: "Sister Wan'er, are you hurt, I'll take a look." Zhu Wan'er hurriedly hid her hand behind her back and said with a smile: "This guy is too reckless, it scared me a lot." He blushed again and said, "It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin, thank you, senior brother." The kitchen steward quipped: "Although Miss Wan'er is clever and can make good soup, this knife still lacks some fire, if it is Master Zhu, you just punch him, and his knife will not be half a point worse." ”

Everyone laughed, and Zhu San said to Zhu Wan'er: "Forget it, the festival marshal is holding a banquet here today, so don't make trouble." Instructed the eldest apprentice Wanda Mountain: "You send Wan'er back." Zhu Wan'er playfully stuck out her tongue and muttered, "You also underestimate me." He said to Wanda Mountain: "It's rare to have a chance to see Jieshuai, senior brother, you can leave me alone." "Wanda Mountain is Zhu San's eldest disciple, following Zhu San to learn art for ten years, but because of his dull talent, his skills have always been mediocre.

According to Wanda Mountain's idea, although his craftsmanship is not as good as a few junior disciples, but it is not much worse, if he can be familiar in front of the handsome, maybe he will be able to stand out, but the rules of the house in the Li Mansion are big, and he has no chance to see Li Shigu, how can he give up when he finally gets this opportunity?

After weighing the pros and cons, Wanda remained silent.

Zhu San held back the fire in his belly, only because he took care of the whole scene and endured it, Zhu Wan'er took off her heavy robe, revealing a tight short suit, her waisted was convex and concave, and a youthful breath stained with sweat spread in an instant, even in front of the majestic Zhu San, some people swallowed saliva fiercely.

Zhu Wan'er neatly pulled her hair back with her hands and feet, tied it with a red silk ribbon, glanced at the daze brothers with a smile, and said to Zhu San: "I'm leaving." ”

Zhu San took off an entry and exit card talisman from his waist and stuffed it into Zhu Wan'er's hand, and instructed: "Go out early, today is different from usual." Zhu Wan'er took the bamboo card and replied crisply: "I know." And he jumped out the door. Although she was frightened, it did not affect her mood in the slightest, and she was jumping up and down along the way, and she was very happy, but she did not realize that a pair of gloomy eyes had stared at her in the dark.

When she arrived at the main gate of the small pine forest, Zhu Wan'er handed over the card charm and was about to leave, when a guard on duty greeted her and said with a smile: "Miss Wan'er's learning period has expired, is this going down the mountain?" Zhu Wan'er raised her fingers high and said, "Hang the lottery, go home to recuperate." The guards knew Zhu Wan'er's identity, and they didn't treat her as an outsider, and they coveted her beauty.

Because of Zhu San's relationship, Zhu Wan'er was used to being flattered by the guards, and when she was a little older, because of Mrs. Pei's love, she was even more comfortable in the festival mansion, and she was used to the flattery of the guards, so she didn't care about it, and she was happy for a while and simply sat in the duty room. With a group of guards in the mountains and the north of the sea, she has a cheerful personality, and is in her youth, a smile and a smile exude charming charm, these guards have been in the army for a long time, one by one is just like a hungry ghost in the color, please her in every way, just hope to make her smile, over the eyes.

The eyes that peeped at her saw that he had not been out for a long time, and slowly smiled, and he turned back and ordered the people standing by behind him, "Do it." ”
