Chapter 258: Lobbyist
The matter of boiling water is naturally done by a maid, Gu An is just looking for a reason to stay in the yard, can't everyone go, Ye Qinghong is embarrassed, if he also leaves with Ye Qinghong, then what is the matter today, is it a joke?
After Gu An saluted Qin Yao, he stepped back and walked out of the house, and closed the door smoothly, Ye Qinghong stood not far away and watched Gu An's every move, and when Gu An came out, Ye Qinghong left a sentence to go to the kitchen to take a look, and left.
The work of boiling water then began, and the maids who rushed to the yard later but did not understand the specific situation, although they did not dare to go too far, heard Gu An calling for boiling water, and immediately took action.
The courtyard where Qin Yao lives should actually be the main house where the prince and the princess live after marriage.
But because Ye Qinghong has been living in the study, everyone has the illusion that this courtyard is Qin Yao's small territory sphere of influence. In addition, there are only Qin Yao Suhe and the two accompanying women brought from the Qin Mansion in the courtyard, there are no difficult people to serve, after a long time, this courtyard is the same as the rest of the mansion, everyone feels that it is a matter of a few more people, and they don't think much about it at all.
No one thought that the days that had been drizzling and windy would become like this because of a meal.
Ye Qinghong went to the kitchen by himself, where did the matter start or where did it end, Steward Wu and the people had already put out the finished fish noodles and put them in the fence to dry. The oiled fish head and fish tail were enlarged and the stick bones boiled a pot of milky white broth, and the stewed old hen soup was still gurgling, and Steward Wu made his own decisions and added yams and cocoons to it.
The kitchen is really fragrant now, not the greasy aroma of meat dishes, but a sweet and refreshing taste of food.
Steward Wu saw that Ye Qinghong had come in, and thought of the scene where Ye Qinghong chased Qin Yao, calculating the time, there should be nothing good happening, it can only be a disadvantage......
"Prince, the noodles are all cooked, let's put a bowl on it for you to taste first." Steward Wu seemed to be asking, but in fact, the movements of his hands directly made a bowl for Ye Qinghong.
The noodles are served in a bowl, sprinkled with green onions and coriander, drizzled with sesame oil and minced garlic, a pinch of shredded ginger, and half a spoonful of old hen soup is poured, and the aroma rises instantly. The yam and coconut in the chicken soup are served separately in a bowl, plus half a bowl of fish soup.
The two bowls were placed in front of Ye Qinghong, which was really fragrant.
Ye Qinghong originally wanted to refuse, but the gluttonous insects did not allow him to cheat, Ye Qinghong consciously took the chopsticks, picked up the noodles and tasted them, it was so fragrant, this hand involuntarily began to pull the noodles......
I don't feel like I'm enjoying it yet, I feel like I've just eaten it...... As a result, the bowl was empty.
Steward Wu didn't squeak, and silently handed Ye Qinghong a whole bowl of noodles. By the way, he was reminded: "Drink the soup first." ”
"Mmmm, delicious." Ye Qinghong couldn't spare his mouth to respond to Steward Wu, and was only busy eating noodles.
Steward Wu cleaned up the things in his hand, made a look, and several busy servants next to him retreated, and Steward Wu put his hands together and gave a salute to Ye Qinghong, who was eating noodles.
Although Ye Qinghong was busy eating noodles, he still caught a glimpse of Steward Wu's movements, and the chopsticks in his hand were beaten.
"Second prince, Xu Laohan is gone, today's matter is really a bit too much, the second prince should not give the second princess no face in front of many servants in the palace, after all, she is the one who manages the affairs of the inner courtyard of the palace, this way, her prestige in the hearts of the servants in the palace has fallen to the bottom, how will she manage the family and arrange things in the future."
Steward Wu's words made Ye Qinghong realize for the first time that Qin Yao had her role and responsibility in this mansion, yes, Ye Qinghong didn't usually think about this.
It was his own idea to ask for marriage at the beginning, and he didn't tell Qin Yao, Ye Qinghong felt that he was not in a hurry for a while, and he could explain it slowly. After getting married, Ye Qinghong was still busy with his own affairs, and basically getting married didn't have much impact on his life and what he arranged every day. Ye Qinghong knew that he didn't get along with Qin Yao too much, and he also wanted to help Qin Yao, so he arranged for Qin Yao to participate in the garden party or something, but what Qin Yao usually did in the mansion, what he did, and what Qin Yao thought every day, Ye Qinghong didn't know.
Seeing that Ye Qinghong didn't respond, Steward Wu saluted again, and then continued: "The old man is here to rely on the old and sell the old, I saw the eldest prince to open the mansion and get married, and now, the eldest prince and the eldest prince's mansion are as affectionate as ever, so many years, it is not unreasonable." The old man knows that the second prince and the second princess are not destined to meet, although the opportunity inside, we don't know, but since we are married, at least we have to save face in the inner courtyard. This bowl of fish noodles is the mind of the second princess, which seems to be considerate of the people in the house, but in fact it is also the heart of the second prince. The hearts of the people in the house were warmed because of a bowl of noodles, and everyone was grateful to the second princess, in fact, they were grateful for the good of the second prince. ”
Ye Qinghong muttered in his heart, as far as Qin Yao's mind was concerned, he couldn't think of such a far-reaching truth, at most he was crooked, he was hungry for food, and he was embarrassed to be called stingy after working for a long time. Ye Qinghong always knew the Datong idea in Qin Yao's heart.
Seeing that Ye Qinghong still didn't speak, Steward Wu had a feeling of hating iron and steel, and continued to carry out ideological education: "The second prince has just gotten married, and many things in the house need to be regulated. ”
Ye Qinghong understood, Steward Wu thought that he disliked Qin Yao's housekeeping ability, this was really wronged, the housekeeper part, in fact, Ye Qinghong never took it seriously, if you want to say so, it seems that Qin Yao has been in the house every day since she got married, and she doesn't know what she is busy with......
Looking at Ye Qinghong's expression, listening to his own words, he seemed to be thinking, Steward Wu felt that his words might be effective, and decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue: "Let's not talk about making noodles for everyone today, the canal in the house was cleaned up by the second princess, and a small pond was built, fish fry were raised, and a pavilion was built, and suddenly the house became angry." There are also those pavilions with partition walls, which were all dust before, no one cleaned them and no one asked, and the second princess also took people to clean them up one by one, and the furnishings in them were all recorded and stored in the library, and those that could be displayed were properly placed. Speaking of this, Steward Wu glanced at Ye Qinghong meaningfully, "It's better not to be so neat and tidy, so as not to panic when you add people to the mansion in the future." Isn't it for you as the second prince? ”
Ye Qinghong listened, and by the way, he was right with the things he saw all the way on the way to find the kitchen today, the pond is very good, the gazebo is also good, and the pavilion is also very good, what does it mean to add people and add Ding?
Steward Wu seemed to understand Ye Qinghong's thoughts, and suddenly added: "Let the wife and concubine go to clean up the residence in advance for the side room of the concubine who is going to enter the mansion in the future, this mind, tsk......t"
What, what kind of concubine side room, what building, what to clean up, after hearing this, Ye Qinghong suddenly felt that the noodle soup in his mouth had changed a little......
