It rained incessantly that night, and it didn't stop until morning.

In the backyard of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, the grass and trees are clean, next to the verandah, the vines are full of shelves, and the lotus pond is full of water and dew.

In the house, Ning Ying woke up in a half-dream, stretched out her hand and wanted to touch her phone on the bedside table in a trance, and only after touching it was empty did she react - she had already crossed.

She sat up a little dazed, rubbing her eyes.

Little Wonton was dishonest at night, crawled out of the kennel, slept on the footrest under her bed, and shook her head when she heard the movement and got up.

After all, it's a puppy, and its energy is vigorous - seeing the little wonton flicking its tail, two little paws and paws lying on the edge of her bed, grinning at her with her little tongue, with a look of anticipation of "you get up and play with me".

Ning Ying raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, then heard her stomach rumble twice.

Outside, Qing Yang and Ting'er were just preparing hot water for washing, when they heard the movement, Qing Yang opened the door curtain and glanced inside and smiled: "Gege is awake?" Gege woke up early today! ”

Qing Yang said babblingly, while touching a basin of hot water, with a handkerchief on the side of the basin, and walked in.

She put down the basin and squatted down in front of the bed with familiar movements, waiting for Ning Ying to put on her shoes - because she was in the house, she didn't have to put on flowerpot shoes, just ordinary soft satin flat shoes.

"The minion hasn't had time to pick up food yet, what does Gege want to eat? The minions did their best to bring it. Qing Yang lowered his head, waited for Ning Ying to put on his shoes, and looked up at his own Gege.

Ning Ying thought for a moment.

"Let's get some porridge, and then see if there are any pastries, you can't be full just drinking porridge." The request was made very plainly.

Qing Yang was a little sad when she heard it, and after a pause, she still asked her: "Pastry...... Is Gege going to taste sweet or salty? ”

Ning Ying raised her arm and asked Ting'er to button herself, and said to Qing Yang: "I want to eat sweet, you depend on the situation - use the silver, what is appropriate, take what." ”

Qing Yang nodded and stood up a little worriedly.

When Gege was dressed here, she put on the lunch box with her arm crooked and went out with Ting'er.

The dining room is at the junction of the front and back yards, going east, bypassing the Qiqu Bridge, and then turning two corners, a long row of blue bricks and white tile walls, easy to recognize.

Qingyang walked in front, Ting'er followed closely behind, and when she turned the corner, she reached out and pulled the sleeves of her clothes, and asked her with a sad face: "Sister Qingyang, can we really get a decent pastry today?" ”

Without waiting for Qingyang to answer, Ting'er muttered to herself: "The little bun I got back yesterday looks good on the outside, but unfortunately the leaves inside don't taste very fresh." ”

Qing Yang didn't say a word - when he took the meal yesterday, he was also a little eunuch who took the silver taels in one hand and the meal box in the other, and went in and took it out directly for them.

Didn't have to pick.

And that's not even the worst of times - at least the money can still move.

When no one pays attention to the money, that's the worst thing!

In front of the dining room, the chief eunuch Fan was holding today's meal list and was squinting in the sun, and the eunuch in charge next to him was waiting with his hands down.

Eunuch Fan flipped through the meal list - the fourth master went out early this morning, and lunch was not in the house, as long as he took care of the taste of Fujin and side Fujin.

Eunuch Fan looked at it and had a number in his heart: Fang Fujin is now pregnant, she can't be too careful, she should pay extra attention to her diet, not only appetizing and delicious, but also can't go wrong with it.

As for the few Gege and the like...... Eunuch Fan didn't bother to think about it: You just follow Fu Jin and Side Fu Jin to pick it up.

The eunuch in charge of the dining room who was instructing him here, Su Peisheng's apprentice Xiao Panzi came over.

Xiao Panzi had a smiling face, and he smiled first when he met someone, which was extremely pleasing, although he was the apprentice of Gonggong Su, but in this backyard, he bent lower than anyone else.

In fact, he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is sleek and experienced, and he does things beautifully, which can be regarded as the face of the younger generation of Su Peisheng's apprentices.

Xiao Panzi came over and gave Eunuch Fan a salute - he was Su Peisheng's apprentice, Eunuch Fan didn't dare to hold him up, so he stretched out his hand and put him up, and first stuffed him with a big meat pie that had just come out of the pot.

Xiao Panzi didn't refuse, took it with a smile, wrapped a few layers of oiled paper cloth, and saw that the oil star did not seep out, so he cherished it in his pocket and began to talk about business.

Listening to this, Eunuch Fan's face changed slightly.

Although he had doubts, he didn't dare to ask - Su Peisheng's apprentice came to pass the word, and it was clear that the fourth elder brother meant this.

What does the master mean, can he ask? He deserves to ask?

When Xiao Panzi left, Eunuch Fan called the eunuch in charge, relayed the meaning word for word, and carefully advised: From now on, the meals in the courtyard of the Xingege concubines must be prepared.

Especially in the Ningge House, in addition to the daily meals, you also need to prepare some extra sliced meat, rice, egg yolks, pork liver, etc.

When the eunuch in charge left, Eunuch Fan began to ponder with his hands behind his back: Xin Gege has not moved since he entered the mansion, why did he suddenly lose face in front of his brother?

Although Xiao Panzi came to pass the word just now, he only said that it was "in the courtyard of the new Gege" - but with the last sentence, who can't see that this is for Ninggege? The others just followed.

Moreover, it is even more subtle: I heard that this Ning Gege has not really been summoned by Ah Ge to wait!

She hasn't waited for the fourth elder brother yet, but the fourth elder brother has already sent someone over to take care of her meal.

And what sliced meat, pork liver, egg yolk...... It is estimated that Ning Gege likes them, and the four elder brothers have written them down one by one - so cherished, so careful!

Eunuch Fan thought of the chicken soup wontons on the side of Fujin last time, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat, stomped his feet and walked around the courtyard a few times, his heart really did not change, and there were many handsome heroes - if the newcomer really came out, the big belly of this side of Fujin may not be useful!

……

On the path outside the dining room, Qing Yang took Ting'er, and the two walked one after the other, and when they were almost in the dining room, Qing Yang didn't want Ting'er to see herself whispering in front of the eunuch in the dining room, so she reached out and took the food box in Ting'er's hand, and told her to wait outside next to a low wall.

Ting'er stood obediently in place, watching Sister Qingyang's back limp in the corner of the wall and disappear.

In the house that is no better than Ningge, Ting'er was inevitably a little nervous, sat down on the boulder under the tree on the side, curled up her body a little, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw a white and pure little eunuch coming out from the direction of the dining room and walking here.

The little eunuch was holding an oiled paper bag in his hand, and the aroma inside was straight through, and a corner was faintly exposed, it was a fat big meat pie!

Ting'er's eyes were straight when she saw it.

Xiao Panzi was caught off guard by someone on the side of the road, glanced down, and saw that it was a half-sized maid in coarse clothes and a timid expression, staring at the big meat pie in her hand with bright eyes, pitiful.

He is Su Peisheng's apprentice, what is a pie? Fang just put it away in front of Manager Fan and put it in his arms, just to avoid saving the face of the manager.

Seeing that Ting'er couldn't take her eyes off it, Xiao Panzi grinned, reached out and threw the meat pie to the little girl: "Here you go!" ”
