Chapter 37 Miss Wu Family
The others had planned to stay and see what Mubangxiang would do, but the butler drove everyone away.
The butler threatened, "If you can't make a dish that satisfies your wife, I will immediately kick you out of the Wu Mansion." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy Madame." After speaking, Mu Bangxiang began to get busy, because it takes time to steam rice, the housekeeper asked Wu Xianxian to go back to the house and wait, Fan Niangzi wanted to check how the lunch was prepared, and specially left Li Yan to help on the side.
When there were only two people left next to the small stove, Mu Bangxiang lowered her voice: "I won." ”
"I'm too lazy to take care of you, it's clear that I'm here first." Li Yan didn't want to strip naked and run around, he didn't let go, and Mu Bangxiang didn't have a way to take him.
Expecting this situation, Mu Bangxiang didn't bother to care too much: "Daddy said that you followed the eldest lady, why are you catching up with the second lady now?" ”
"Wu Xuechen is too cautious, I have never been able to get close, but Wu Xianxian is a kind person, I used a little method to make her successfully believe me." Li Yan said regretfully, "Wu Xuechen manages several grain shops, if she can gain her trust, the investigation will be twice as effective with half the effort." ”
Mu Bangxiang added a handful of dry firewood to the stove, and asked, "I am now in the Wu Mansion, what do you want me to do?" ”
"You're going to see what you want, and it's better to find out more about the secrets." Li Yan didn't reveal too much, for fear that Mu Bangxiang would ruin his plan, "When I need your help, I'll say it." ”
Again, Mu Bangxiang remembered that Fang Fu fell into a small pool, and she was still afraid.
"Li Yan, if the pond appears again, I will definitely kill you."
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Having said that, Li Yan's attitude is very perfunctory.
Mu Bangxiang didn't dare to believe him too much, it seemed that he still had to rely on himself.
After the rice was steamed, Mu Bangxiang and the dishes prepared in advance informed Mrs. Fan, and she led them to Mrs. Rong's house.
The Rong family is a century-old family in Wudong Mansion, and has been operating here for many years, and the family wealth is quite rich, and she was also a famous beauty back then.
Now Rong's is so thin that she has long lost her human appearance, her face is sallow, she is lying on the couch weakly, closing her eyes, if it weren't for the slight breathing sound, Mu Bangxiang would have thought that she had gone to the west.
There was a young woman sitting next to her, her phoenix eyes were cold and tranquil, there was a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, and her appearance was very good, she looked a little similar to the previous Wu Xianxian, this should be Wu Xuechen, the eldest lady of the Wu family.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss Fang Cai asked the kitchen to cook a special meal and sent it to Madame to taste." Fan Niangzi's attitude was very respectful, she stood aside in a proper manner, waiting for her master to speak.
Wu Xuechen leaned down and whispered in Rong's ear: "Mother, let's have some food, this is specially prepared for you by my sister." ”
After a while, Rong opened his eyes and muttered, "What is delicious, Ze'er is gone, and I can't live anymore." ”
The loss of three sons in quick succession is a fatal blow to a mother.
Everyone fell into deep thought, and Mu Bangxiang was also very sympathetic.
"Mother, my daughter knows that you are in pain because of your brothers' affairs, but I and Xian Xian are also your daughters, are you going to leave us alone?" Saying that, Wu Xuechen's eyes were already red, she hung her head, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
I have to say that this Wu Xuechen is a master, and he moved the Rong family in just a few words.
Fan Niangzi beckoned to Mu Bangxiang, who carefully served the fried rice, saying that it was fried rice but it didn't smell oily.
Rong's eyes lit up, and there were a few shrimps on top of the turquoise rice, and there was no buttery taste that was disgusting, only a faint fragrance.
Seeing that she was very satisfied, Wu Xuechen immediately picked up the spoon and fed the Rong family personally.
The moment she entered, the soft and glutinous rice had a faint aroma of vegetables, and she couldn't wait to point to the shrimp.
This is the first time that her mother has taken the initiative to eat, even if it is a calm Wu Xuechen, she can't hide her excitement.
The moment he ate the shrimp, Rong showed a rare smile: "How did you make this fried rice?" ”
"To be precise, it's a rice bowl." Mu Bangxiang explained with a smile, "I squeeze the juice out of the spinach and steam it with the rice, so the rice naturally has that fragrance, and as for the shrimp, I used the best dragon well to stir-fry together, so that not only can I remove the fishy smell of the shrimp, but also the fragrance of the tea leaves." ”
"It sounds so chic that it bothers you." It is a miracle that Rong actually ate the whole bowl of spinach rice.
Wu Xuechen was very happy, and she specially instructed Fan Niangzi, who was standing aside: "You did a good job, you actually chose such a smart cook, I should reward you well." ”
She beckoned, and the maidservant who followed immediately offered two ingots of silver, Fan Niangzi took one ingot, and Mu Bangxiang also took a piece.
After thanking them, the two went out of the house together, and on the way back, Fan Niangzi gave the piece of silver on her body to Mu Bangxiang.
"You deserve it, remember, work well in the kitchen in the future, I promise you'll get more."
"Thank you, Mrs. Fan." Mu Bangxiang understood that Fan Niangzi gave the silver eighty percent to entrap her, "What do you need me to do in the future, you just open your mouth and command." ”
Fan Niangzi is very satisfied that Mu Bangxiang is so sensible, and what makes her even more satisfied is that Mu Bangxiang can only cook one dish and cannot shake her position in Wu Mansion.
She recruited a little maid and asked the little maid to lead Mu Bang Xiang to the residence to rest first, and wait until tomorrow when she officially went to work, and before leaving, she specially instructed Mu Bang Xiang not to run around.
Mu Bangxiang responded with a full mouth, but he had already begun to think about where to start the investigation.
The little maid led Mu Bang Xiang to a remote courtyard in the north, where the cooks of the house lived.
Because the masters pay great attention to their food, the welfare of the cook is naturally much better than that of ordinary servants.
Fan Niangzi lives in the main house, the three rooms on the west side are full of people, and the east side is reserved for the cook lady who recruited this time, plus the wooden incense, a total of four people are left, and each person's house is separate.
Mu Bangxiang was assigned to the room near the edge, and after nightfall, she began to think about sneaking out to inquire about the situation.
At this time, Li Yan came, and he leaned on the couch skillfully: "What did you find?" ”
Mu Wanxiang shook his head: "Everyone in the Wu family still looks quite normal at the moment. ”
"I also think people are normal, but I always feel that something is wrong." Li Yan took advantage of the night to quietly walk around the mansion, it seemed that everything was normal, the masters were immersed in the joy of Wu Ze's departure, and the servants were dutifully sitting in their own work.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the Rong family, the eldest lady and the second miss." Mu Wanxiang raised her eyebrows, "What about Wu Qinghe?" ”
"He stayed in the house and didn't come out, I couldn't find out if I wanted to." Li Yan always looked for opportunities to wander around the main courtyard, and he didn't see Wu Qinghe once.
After discussing for a long time, the two did not come up with a result.
Li Yan was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Mu Bangxiang, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't say a word, when he was about to run out of patience.
Mu Bangxiang finally said: "Sleep with me." ”
