Chapter 124: Staff
Wang Xi felt that Chen Luo's words were very reasonable, but it was she who proposed Liu Zhong, and she couldn't help but be more concerned about this matter than other things, and couldn't help but say: "When did you and Liu Zhong meet?" I want to go with you! ”
Chen Luo could faintly feel Wang Xi's thoughts, and felt that it was good to let her go out for a walk, his mother was just because she circled around the palace every day, and she followed the thrill when there was something in the palace, and after a long time, she became like a woman in the palace, only knowing that the one acre and three points of land in the palace were narrow, and even her mind was narrow, which was not a good thing.
"Okay!" He readily agreed, and said, "We have made an appointment to meet him at his quarters, and we will go over tomorrow after breakfast, lest the sun rise and wilt like a cabbage blanched in water." ”
Wang Xi laughed and said, "You still know the blanched cabbage!" ”
Chen Luo actually thought about it seriously and said, "Don't say it, I really haven't seen it." But that's how everyone describes it, and that's how I describe it. ”
"Then the next time you have time, I'll take you to the kitchen and ask them to blanch you with cabbage, and you'll know what it's like!"
Speaking of the kitchen, Chen Luo said: "What kind of dim sum did your family make today?" Last time, that horseshoe cake was good. Warp release? Bring me some more today. ”
He eats a lot of things given by the palace, but the things in the palace have a fixed number, and he doesn't like seasonal ingredients the most, so he is afraid that the nobles in the palace will feel very good after eating them, and they will eat them every day, and they can't take them out if they hang themselves.
Chen Luo likes to eat seasonal things, and he knows more about this.
Horseshoe is not what it should be this season.
Wang Xi smiled and said, "What you eat is made of powder and water chestnut juice." There are no horseshoe in this season, but the horseshoe is juiced and made into syrup in the ice cellar, but it can be stored for a long time. ”
Chen Luo thought that the eldest princess had found lychees for half a night, and said, "Then you make some for me, and I'll let people take them back to my mother to taste." ”
Wang Xiqi said: "Aren't you going back to the city today?" ”
"No return!" Chen Luo said, "I'm going to rush over tomorrow, I'm too tired." I'm going to go to Zhenwu Temple, and I'll come from there tomorrow. ”
Zhenwu Temple and Yunju Temple are both in the west of the city, not too far away.
Wang Xi was even more surprised, and said, "What are you doing in Zhenwu Temple?" Are you looking for Xiaoyaozi? ”
Isn't the spice matter settled?
Chen Luo didn't answer Wang Xi clearly, and the white fruits serving next to him were already looking at each other.
When did the eldest lady of their family be so idle and panicked, this kind of eating and drinking can be said for an hour without feeling bored.
A few maids, you look at me, I look at you, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I feel that this matter has to be talked to Mama Wang.
Wang Xi didn't notice this, she first asked the kitchen to make a few boxes of horseshoe cakes for Chen Luo to take back to the eldest princess's mansion, and then cleaned up a side room for Chen Luo to take a lunch break, made cold noodles in Shu and entertained him for dinner, and waited until the sun was in the west, the heat gradually dissipated, and poured the chilled sour plum soup into the sheepskin bladder, and then sent him out.
also told Chen Luo: "If you don't finish drinking it within an hour, you will pour it, I think it tastes delicious, and I will make it for you next time, don't be greedy for that little coldness, eat it and spoil your stomach." ”
Chen Luo felt sorry for his sheepskin bladder, this was the first time he followed the emperor to Datong to patrol the border, and Huo Ting, the governor of Datong at that time, taught him to make it himself, and he took it with him for several years.
On such a hot day, you can't use the chilled sour plum soup, right?
Wang Xi sent someone to pour sour plum soup on him is kind, he looked at Chen Yu's eyes for help when Bai Guo came to get the water bladder, hesitated back and forth in the guest room several times, and finally decided to politely refuse Wang Xi's kindness, Baizhu had already sent back the water bladder filled with sour plum soup.
And at this time, he looked at Wang Xi's lips that were as ruddy as petals, and his ears were a little hot, and the words of rejection and regret could not be said.
Forget it, it's come to this point, at least one person is happy, and he shouldn't say it to ruin everyone's fun.
Chen Luo nodded coldly, and rode out of Yunju Temple.
Wang Xi turned back to the main courtyard.
Chang Ke sat alone at the stone table under the grape trellis and the two little maids were holding the soles of their shoes, and when he saw her, he said coldly: "Ouch, I'm back!" I thought you'd have to wait until the lights to get home! It can't be that Chen Luo is already gone, right? ”
Wang Xi was inexplicable and said, "What's wrong with you?" Where have I offended you? If you have something to say, you can speak, and we can't be weird between us. I don't like it! ”
Chang Ke jumped up and slapped Wang Xi twice with the sole of his shoe, and said, "You still know that you are a cabinet woman!" Then Chen Luo came when he came, just let your brother entertain him, you already respect him very much when you go to see him, and it is worth your help to arrange everything? If you want to do this next time, I will tell my grandmother, let's go back to the Yongcheng Marquis's Mansion. ”
As she spoke, her eyes darkened.
Wang Xi is of course the best in her heart, but a person like the eldest princess has no chance to understand Wang Xi, nor will she treat Wang Xi fairly and fairly, even if Chen Luo treats Wang Xi differently, the eldest princess will not take Wang Xi as a candidate for daughter-in-law.
Rather than be sad at that time, it is better to break it early.
Because Wang Xi didn't think about this, he didn't understand Chang Ke's worries in a daze.
But she could feel Chang Ke's worried gaze, wondering if Chang Ke was still a little prejudiced against Chen Luo, afraid that Chen Luo would be unfavorable to her, she patiently comforted Chang Ke: "It's for Liu Zhong's business." ”
She told Chang Ke about the plans of the two: "It's what I said from it, I have to have a beginning and an end!" ”
Chang Ke thought about Alina's underwear that shrank to her elbows as soon as she stretched out her hand, and felt sour, feeling that Liu Zhong might as well go to the Wang family to be the shopkeeper instead of being Chen Luo's staff, so that he could learn some skills in a short time and live this life.
She sighed, picked up the needle and thread again and continued to give Alina the soles, but she wondered in her heart whether to give Liu Zhong a reminder and let him simply choose the Wang family, and felt that Liu Zhong was proficient in astrological gossip, he must be a smart person, and he would definitely choose a more beneficial owner without her reminder. After thinking about it, I felt that smart people are usually mistaken by being smart, maybe Liu Zhong has watched the family fall over the years, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and still preferring to go to the tiger mountains, and finally chose Chen Luo......
Her heart was up and down, and there was no decision until the next day, but Wang Xi had already begun to dress up and was ready to visit Liu Zhong with Chen Luo.
Chang Ke gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring a letter to Liu Zhong, but he didn't persuade him how to choose, but told him to let him think more about Ah Li, he is Ah Li's uncle and the only relative of Ah Li in this world.
Liu Zhong was so surprised by Chang Ke's message that he couldn't speak for a long time.
He didn't say a few words to this young lady from the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, but he didn't expect her to love Ah Li so much, and then think of the matter of the young lady of the Wang family that he inquired about, he guessed that Ah Li's shoes and socks might have been made by this Miss Chang.
It can be seen that bad bamboo shoots produce good bamboo shoots, and there are good people in the Chang family.
Liu Zhong thanked the maid beside Chang Ke, and Chen Luo and Wang Xi came together.
Liu Zhong looked at Wang Xi, who was wearing a string of jasmine flowers on his sideburns and holding a rattan basket in his hand, dressed like a village girl but could not hide his bright face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This girl won't bring anything to eat again, will she?
The chef of the Wang family has raised all the tastes of Ali.
Although he didn't say anything, when he ate, he was obviously not as happy as before.
This little girl really has a lot to do, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have fallen into such a situation.
Liu Zhong thought that he was not good at dealing with this teenage girl, so he could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart and invite the two of them to sit down in the hall.
Ah Li has been detained at home since he was brought back by Liu Zhong that day, and when he heard the sound, he saw that Wang Xi was coming, he dropped the pen in his hand and rushed out: "Aunt Wang, are you coming to see me?" I miss you so much! Is Aunt Chang okay? Why didn't she come with you? Is she mad at me? ”
After saying that, he looked out expectantly.
The joy from the heart made his face like the moon with a layer of light, which made Wang Xi's heart tremble.
"Your Aunt Chang has something to do today, so she didn't come." Wang Xi hurriedly smiled and squatted down and hugged Ah Li, and explained softly, "She's not angry with you!" You're so well-behaved, who wants to be angry with you! She will make tiger head shoes for you at home, and after a few days, when the weather is cold, you will have beautiful shoes to wear! ”
"Really?" Ah Li's eyes brightened, tilted his head and said sweetly, "I like Aunt Chang the most!" ”
This made Wang Xi and Liu Zhong present feel a sense of blood in their hearts.
Chen Luo was indifferent to Ali.
It's not that he doesn't like Ali, it's that he's very cold to all children, and he doesn't know what these children have to play, why so many people like to tease children.
Yes, it's "funny".
Since it's all a lie, there's nothing to waste on words.
He suffered greatly from it as a child.
Seeing that Wang Xi and Liu Zhong were still about to continue to talk to Alihu, he coughed twice with a little dissatisfaction, and said, "It's so hot, let's sit down and talk!" ”
Although they are in a carriage, they are also in a hurry to take a carriage, why didn't Liu Zhong think of pouring them a cup of tea to moisten their throats!
Liu Zhong obviously thought of it too, said hello to Wang Xi and Chen Luo, hugged Ah Li into the inner room, coaxed him to continue to paint red, and went to pour refreshments and take them out.
Is the Liu family so depressed that there is no one to serve?
Chen Luo looked at Liu Zhong quietly, thinking about how to persuade Liu Zhong to do something for him.
Who knew that Liu Zhong also had this idea.
He didn't wait for Chen Luo to speak, and said straight to the point: "I heard that Lord Chen wants me to be your staff, I don't know what Lord Chen likes about me?" What can I do for Master Chen? You must have also inquired about our Liu family, so many years have passed, although the people still remember my grandfather's little bit of grace, but above the court, there is no place for our Liu family to speak. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Master Chen. ”
