Sichuan pepper has been studying the menu of the hot spring Zhuangzi with Zhou these days.

I didn't want to move to Zhennan Houfu.

Zhennan Hou Mansion is in the east of the city, most of the people who live in Yucheng are not rich or expensive, the vegetable market is far less than the west of the city, and it is not as convenient as the west of the city to buy ingredients.

But Pei Ze came to pick her up in person, and she couldn't refuse, so she packed up her bags and got into the carriage, and said to Zhou: "Aunt Zhou just prepares the ingredients according to the dishes on the menu, I come over once every two days, and I can't delay." ”

The hot spring Zhuangzi is nearing completion.

She had to hurry up and prepare the recipes, it was important to see men, and it was also important to make money.

"Madame just live in peace in the house, and when I turn around, I will find a few mothers-in-law from the village who work quickly to help me, and if I don't understand it, I will go to the house to find the owner." Zhou had long known that Huajiao was going to live in Zhennan Hou's Mansion, although he was reluctant, he was also very happy for her, and said loudly, "Don't worry, the owner can't delay the hospitality." ”

She worked with Sichuan Pepper for many days.

She has long known the idea of peppercorns, that is, the food in the hot spring Zhuangzi is all used for steaming, simple and good, she dares to guarantee that the more than 100 dishes they have prepared, a normal amount of pilgrims can eat them all at least twenty times.

Twenty times, even if you come to Liutai Temple once a month, it's almost two years.

I have to admit that the owner does do business.

Sichuan pepper happily said yes.

Pei Ze frowned and didn't squeak.

He never imagined that a woman would be so keen to make money...... Especially since this woman is still his daughter-in-law.

Along the way, the two were relatively silent.

When Xia Yu saw Pei Ze carefully helping the pepper out of the carriage, he couldn't believe his eyes, didn't this little lady say that she didn't come to confess her relatives...... Obviously, he came to talk to Hou Ye about business a few days ago, why did he suddenly live in the house?

Oh my God, he really doesn't know how to read gold and jade.

Fortunately, his attitude was not bad at the beginning, otherwise, he would really be dead.

In addition to the cook, there was no maid and wife in Zhennan Houfu.

This time, Pei Ze specially asked Qiu Hu to find two women from the capital who knew the roots to take care of her, he knew that she was not delicate, but now she was pregnant and needed someone to take care of her, not to mention that he was a big man and didn't know how to take care of a pregnant woman.

The two women, in their forties, were sisters.

He is also a distant relative of Qiu Hu.

Seeing the peppercorns, the two stepped forward to salute together: "The slave maid Cai has seen Mrs. ”

Huajiao doesn't like to call others, and she doesn't like others to call themselves slaves and maids in front of her, so she helped the two of them up with a pleasant face: "Two sisters, please get up, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me in the future, let's take care of each other in the future." ”

"Slaves don't dare." The two of them spoke like flies and mosquitoes.

Qiu Hu sneered: "Madam, they are here to serve Madame, and they dare not be Mrs. a sister." ”

Huajiao had to give up his original intention and smiled at Qiu Hu: "It's hard work." ”

Da Cai's and Xiao Cai's quickly took the burden of pepper into the cloakroom, tidied it up quietly, made tea for the two, and retreated respectfully, the bedroom was neat and elegant, and the beast head incense burner in the corner of the wall was still burning with a faint incense, seeing the pepper frowning, Pei Ze took the teacup to extinguish the incense, and explained: "This house was originally not incense, because I used to take medicine in this house to heal my wounds, it is inevitable that there will be residual medicinal smell, so I smoked it, you can rest assured, it is an ordinary petal, not a spice." ”

"Master Hou has a heart." Sichuan pepper road.

It is worthy of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan.

This bedroom is not only full of sunshine, good ventilation, privacy, the bedroom is not big, but the outside suite is connected to the flower room study, you can go shopping for a long time without going out, she has a feeling that Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.

It's not at all comparable to Zhuangzi in the west of the city.

In the evening, Pei Ze went to the study next door to rest after washing, firstly, he was not used to sharing a bed with a woman, and secondly, he was worried that he would accidentally touch her belly, although he had a child with her, but at this time he still couldn't face this fact.

He felt he needed time.

In this regard, Sichuan pepper does not care.

She needs her husband's company, but she doesn't need Hou Ye's company.

Although it sounds a little contradictory, she is also awkward to really let her share the bed with the current Pei Ze.

For her, as long as she can see him all the time, it is very satisfying.

Big and small, Cai didn't say much.

There is no posture of digging out the heart and lungs with the peppercorns, basically asking and answering, not asking and not talking, obviously they have been told in advance, talk less and do more.

It makes peppercorns feel very boring.

They had to go.

Thinking that she is now living a life of being served, Huajiao feels that life is really interesting, let her lose some, and let her gain some, but what she loses is what she doesn't want to lose, and what she gets is what she doesn't want to get.

She has lost a husband who shushes her, even if she gets a good life, what is the use?

In three days, she saw Pei Ze three times, but she didn't see Chen Yi once.

Although the housekeeper would not easily enter the inner house, she found that Pei Ze had never talked about him, and when she was eating, she asked curiously, "Isn't Steward Chen in the house?" ”

"What did you ask him for?" Pei Ze's face was expressionless.

"Just ask." Sichuan pepper looked innocent.

Even though he was alone with her, he didn't seem to have much to say.

It turned out that Pei Ze was really gone.

But after all, she had met Chen Yi before.

I haven't seen him for three days, so it doesn't hurt to ask, right?

"Something happened to him, he's gone." Pei Ze put down his chopsticks and left, walked a few steps, stopped again, and said lightly, "Now the housekeeper in the house is Qiu Hu, if you have something, go to him." ”

What does it mean to be gone?

Huajiao was confused, so he went to ask Xia Yu: "Something happened to Steward Chen?" ”

Xia Yu didn't dare to speak, scratched his head and said: "Madam, the villain didn't know the gold and jade before, you just spare the villain, the villain really doesn't dare to say it." ”

"It's okay if you don't say it, but if I came to you today, Master Hou must know." Hua Jiao said, "If I learn about Chen Yi's whereabouts from other people's mouths one day, Master Hou is afraid that he will suspect that you told me, you might as well tell me the truth, and I will take care of you in the future." ”

"The night before Madame came to the mansion, Chen housekeeper him, he drowned outside the city...... Xia Yu said in a low voice, "Master Hou didn't let it go, no one in the mansion dared to speak, I just begged Madame not to talk about it to outsiders, and the villain's life will be in Madame's hands in the future." ”

"I know, don't worry, I won't involve you." Hua Jiao reluctantly smiled, "You didn't think I came to you." ”

There is no need to guess, this should have been instructed by Pei Ze.

Could it be that he is so decisive in what he is doing now?
