Xia Yuchu raised his eyes and glanced at Su Xi, and the old tears were full of tears.

Probably didn't expect Su Xi to be so magnanimous and not tell Ling Juncheng about it.

"It's all minions who see money!" He raised his hand and wiped a handful of tears of remorse, "Concubine An Niangniang suddenly summoned the slave today and gave the slave a sum of silver, saying that as long as the slave cheated Zhou Yuchu out of the small kitchen of Qingle Palace, he would pay the slave more in the future." ”

"The minion was moved at the time, and he didn't think much about it......"

"After I went back, I thought that something was wrong, but I was timid, and I didn't dare to guess anything, Guifei Niangniang, did Concubine An Niangniang do something bad to you?"

If there is a regret medicine in the world, he will not hesitate to take it.

knew that there was no pie in the sky, and when An Concubine gave him silver, he should have known.

But......

He hung his head weakly, secretly blaming himself.

Su Xi didn't speak immediately.

She sat in a more languid position.

"Chef Xia, are you so short of money?"

The salary of the imperial dining room is not low, and the summer imperial kitchen has been working in the imperial dining room for many years, so he has no savings, and he has to manage people to borrow money.

One loan is as much as a hundred taels.

"The concubine doesn't know," Xia Yuchu sniffed and reddened his eyes, "The children in the family are not successful, and they are addicted to gambling to fill the holes for him." ”

"It's all slaves who have no way to teach their children, so they eat their own bitter fruits, and the slaves deserve it!"

He thumped his chest, embarrassed.

"If the root of the problem is not solved, the hole will never be filled," Su Xi waved his hand, "Don't kneel, go back to the imperial dining room." ”

Xia Yuchu froze his expression and raised his eyes to look at Su Xi.

"Concubine Niangniang, the slave has done something wrong, and he is willing to be punished!" Although Su Xi didn't answer him, whether Concubine An had done anything bad, he could guess that something must have happened.

Otherwise, he would not have been called to Qingle Palace for questioning.

"Then punish you, serve the emperor well from now on, don't be easily bought by money, if there is a next time, you will not be so lucky, those ill-gotten gains will kill people."

Su Xi had already asked Yuan Shen about the details of Xia Imperial Kitchen before.

He has served Ling Juncheng in the palace for many years, and he has always been very disciplined, that is, he raised a son who was not successful, not to mention all the family property, and always asked him to wipe his ass for him and clean up the mess.

This time he was bribed with silver, out of desperation.

Sometimes, she doesn't want to be so desperate, if she gets rid of him, there will be the next person in the imperial dining room to replace him, who knows who will meet someone.

"The concubine is magnanimous, the slave has nothing to repay, you must remember the words of the concubine, never take the money of conscience again, and you will definitely serve the emperor loyally!"

Xia Yuchu slammed his head deep on the ground and couldn't help but slap himself.

"Hurry up and go back to get busy, when I ordered Mai Sui to go to the imperial dining room to invite you, I also invited you in the name of Zhou Imperial Kitchen, if someone asked, you said that Zhou Imperial Kitchen had something to find you." Su Xi said softly, "In this way, no one will doubt it." ”

"The minions will retire first!" Xia Yuchu stood up tremblingly and saluted Su Xi respectfully again.

He was so grateful that he didn't know what to say.

He should have been punished, but the concubine just let him go.

"By the way, the hussars are replenishing, if your son-in-law is interested, you might as well try it."

When Xia Yuchu just walked to the door, Su Xi's voice came from behind.
