"Where's that over there?" Gu Ye pointed to the exquisitely repaired Zhuangzi next door and asked.

"There, it's the Zhuangzi of the Marquis of Dongping. She lives in Zhuangzi all the year round and should not have any plans to sell it. Chu Mubai showed a gossip smile.

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows. Mrs. Houfu lives in Zhuangzi all the year round, and there must be a secret in it. She has no interest in other people's secrets, but it's a pity that she misses a chance to buy Zhuangzi.

The Chu brothers took their sister around the neighborhood, and only Prince Rong and Zhuangzi in the Dongping Marquis Mansion were the most to her liking. Approaching lunchtime, Chu Xiaowu and Chu Xiaoliu went up the mountain to catch two pheasants and three hares, and prepared to choose a shady place under the mountain to roast and eat.

Unexpectedly, a dark cloud drifted out of nowhere. Seeing that the clouds were not very thick, just a shallow piece of gray and gray, after drifting over, there was a lot of rain, and it was all on them.

The few teenagers are nothing, they are strong, and the most important thing is that my sister is also wet, and if I don't find a place to change my clothes, I'm afraid I'll get cold. In desperation, the group knocked on the door of Dongping Hou Zhuangzi.

"Yo! This is...... Hunting in the rain? A sharp female voice sounded from behind the Chu brothers and sisters. Gu Ye turned his head with his brothers and looked at a woman of about twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in a neat riding costume, wearing a hat on her head, and holding a fishing rod in her hand. The head of a seven or eight-year-old boy poked out from behind her, looking curiously at their uninvited guests.

Chu Musong stepped forward and saluted: "We are from the Zhenguo Mansion, and today we brought my sister to the suburbs to relax." Who knew that it was so unfortunate that it rained, and I came to borrow Mrs. Zhuangzi to take refuge. ”

"Yo! On the Zhenguo Mansion! The two of you look almost identical, you should be Little Four and Little Five, right? This white and tender, clear and delicate, is a little similar to your mother, it must be Xiaoliu! Mrs. Dongping Hou smiled heartily, obviously in a good mood. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person who was driven into Zhuangzi.

"Yo! This little girl is smart, her eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, and her small appearance is quite pleasing. This is the girl you just got back in your house? Mrs. Dongping Hou looked at Gu Ye carefully, and her mouth kept admiring.

Gu Ye was a little embarrassed and curtled to salute her, but was held by Mrs. Dongping Hou. The slightly powerful hand showed that her master had practiced kung fu. Mrs. Dongping Hou smiled: "I don't pay so much attention here. Come in, I'll find a dress for you to change into, be careful if you catch a cold. Tourmaline, you go to the kitchen and order to cook some ginger soup to ward off the cold for the guests. ”

Tourmaline is a maid standing behind Mrs. Dongping Hou, carrying a bucket. The brothers and sisters hurriedly said to Mrs. Dongping Hou and disturbed them. Mrs. Dongping Hou said with a smile: "My mother's family is a world friend of your Chu family, so you don't have to be so polite." Today, if you are blessed, Fei'er and I caught two big fish. ”

Foodie Gu Ye stretched out her head to take a look, and sure enough, there were two big black fish, she couldn't help but say: "This is good, made into boiled fish or sauerkraut fish, it tastes very good." ”

"Oh? Aren't these two dishes the signature dishes of Qingfeng Building? The cook on my Zhuangzi can't do it. When Mrs. Dongping Hou saw that the little girl mentioned food, her eyes were shining, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became stronger. She has no daughters, and it is the rarest such a beautiful and unpretentious little girl.

"I know Fangzi. If Madame doesn't dislike it, I can go to the kitchen to help the cook of your village to complete it. Gu Ye hadn't eaten these two dishes for a long time, and he couldn't help but be eager to try them.

"Oh? Is Miss Chu good at cooking? Mrs. Dongping Hou wondered a little in her heart, what was the origin of this little girl who had just been found by the Zhenguo Mansion, and she actually knew the recipe for the signature dish of Qingfeng Building.

Gu Ye shook his head with a smile and said, "I just have a tongue that is more sensitive than others." Most of the delicacies, after I have tasted them, I can tell the ingredients in them eight or nine times out of ten. As for the heat, you need to master it yourself. ”

What she said was true. However, most of the dishes in Qingfeng Building are the ones she provides recipes, and she will not say it easily.

"Oh? That's great! You also know that the dishes in this Qingfeng Building are good, but the table is too difficult to decide, and sometimes it may not be possible to determine it ten days in advance. It's not easy to eat it once. At noon today, I can ask Miss Chu for the blessing and try the signature dishes of Qingfeng Building! "Mrs. Dongping Hou was born in a family of military generals, and she is straightforward and straightforward. Gu Ye had a good impression of her.

Hearing this, Gu Ye smiled slightly and said, "Madame just call me 'Ye'er'." ”

"Good. It's really good to call Miss Chu. Mrs. Dongping Hou took the little girl to her room, found a topless dress of her own, and asked the little girl to change into it.

The little girl has not grown up, her skirt is dragging on the ground, and her sleeves are longer than the back of her hand. After changing out, Gu Ye stepped on the hem of his skirt and almost fell into the mud. Mrs. Dongping Hou smiled: "I see that you are about the same size as my youngest son." I just helped him get dressed the day before yesterday. If Ye'er doesn't dislike it, just wear him. ”

Gu Ye naturally didn't care about these subtleties, and came out in the sky blue men's clothes, and his hair was combed into a high ponytail, which really meant something like a handsome boy. The clothes were just right, but Gu Ye couldn't be happy. She's about the same size as an eight-year-old kid!

Mrs. Dongping Hou seemed to sense her intentions, and said with a smile: "My two sons have followed their grandfather and uncles, and they are very fast!" Don't look at Fei'er is only eight years old, many eleven or twelve-year-old children from civil official families can't catch up with him! ”

After Gu Ye heard this, he felt a little comforted in his heart. However, Mrs. Dongping Hou added: "Your father and your brothers are not short. You probably followed your mother......"

Gu Ye began to be depressed again in his heart - although the Jun family was born in the north and his height was among women, he was really not tall. The lady of Dongping Hou in front of her is half a head taller than her mother! Alas...... I don't know if her wish of more than 1.6 meters can be realized in this life.

Mrs. Dongping Hou felt that the little girl was really interesting, and her emotions were on her face. How afraid she was that she wouldn't grow tall!

Mrs. Dongping Hou couldn't help but comfort: "You are still young!" Whose girl is it, and after the flute, she has grown a few inches? Eat more, sleep more, run and jump more, our generals' home, don't learn from those sour Confucian little girls, who speak weakly, and can't step on an ant in one step......"

Gu Ye snorted and laughed. This Mrs. Dongping Hou is really interesting! She loves it!

After changing her clothes and going to the living room in the front yard, her brothers saw her come out in men's clothes, and couldn't help but quip: "Yo! When did we have a seventh brother? ”
