The woman in front of her was dressed in a cotton blue shirt, wearing patched shoes on her feet, dressed plainly, without a single piece of valuable jewelry on her body, her hair tied back into a ponytail, and the most eye-catching thing was the face that was not powdered.

Su Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Ba, I know this girl, I don't care what happens to your own territory on weekdays, today I am here, this person is my friend, you can measure it yourself!" ”

She didn't seem to have a temper, her tone was light, but it gave people the feeling that every word she said was very weighty, and a person like Wang Bawang, who was arrogant and self-religious, was in a stalemate with her for a while, and actually wilted, and glanced at Qi Yunshu a few times with her eyes very reluctantly, her eyes were full of greed, but in the end, she had no way to be tough with the woman in front of her, so she had to agree.

As if in a dream, Qi Yunshu was out of danger, she tore off the rags in her mouth with all her might, and thanked the brocade-clothed lady in front of her solemnly: "Thank you Madame for saving me, thank you!" ”

Su Zhi smiled: "You came to the capital?" Hey, don't you know me? ”

"This ...... This lady ...... You are Mrs. Zhao, have you been to Nancheng Town? "Qi Yunshu's memory is not bad, but he didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

Su Zhi said: "Hey, it's me, you forgot me, I haven't forgotten you, your good cooking skills, I still remember it vividly!" ”

Qi Yunshu's mind suddenly became much clearer.

She never expected that the noble lady in front of her would be Su Zhi, the wife of the Dali Siqing who had been entertained by the old lady Yun's mansion.

"It's good that you ran into me, this is also fate, otherwise if you fall into the hands of that bastard, you will have to bear it!" Su Zhi sighed lightly, Wang Bawang is a well-known second ancestor on this street, with a strong background, not everyone can mess with him.

Qi Yunshu's nose was sour, she understood, even a lady like Dali Siqing didn't dare to ask for someone directly, and she still needed him to sell face, but she knew that the background of that bastard was definitely not bad, and she couldn't help but feel creepy when she thought about it......

Fortunately, I met a noble person like Mrs. Zhao.

Seeing that Qi Yunshu's clothes were slightly disheveled, Su Zhi took her to the private room on the third floor of Yunhe Building for her to freshen up.

After tidying up, Qi Yunshu went out of the inner room, but saw Su Zhi discussing affairs with a middle-aged woman with a greasy face.

At first glance, I heard that Su Zhi was going to hold a banquet recently, but because the chef in the house suddenly fell ill, she had not yet found a suitable chef, so she asked someone to come here to talk in detail.

However, seeing Su Zhi waving her hand to send people away, she didn't seem to be very satisfied with the greasy middle-aged woman, and was holding a blue and white porcelain teacup in front of the mahogany square and looking at her.

And Qi Yunshu also happened to look up at the past while thinking in her heart, neither of them spoke, but stared at each other with big eyes at the same time.

"Uh, Mrs. Zhao......"

"Yun Niang ......"

Qi Yunshu just opened her lips, but saw that Su Zhi also spoke.

"You talk about ...... first"

"Say it!"

The two looked at each other in embarrassment.

"Actually, I want to ask Mrs. Zhao if I don't know what kind of chef I want to find, I have low skills, I can only fry a few dishes, I don't know if Mrs. Zhao can ......"

"That's a good idea! I see that no one can look down on you in my heart, this is not that I heard that your family is a good person, I am afraid that you are busy, and I am embarrassed to mention it if I have ideas in my heart! Su Zhi was excited, this was really sleepy, and someone handed her a pillow.

If she can go out and do good deeds, she can solve the chef's problem that she is currently most troubled about!

She happily said: As long as Qi Yunshu does a good job, she will give it five times the price that Mrs. Yun gave her.

Qi Yunshu couldn't refuse, so he could only spend his time preparing for the Su family's banquet very seriously.

From understanding the local tastes of the guests, to developing the menu, and sourcing ingredients......

Su Zhi spoke highly of her serious attitude, and at the same time, she also seemed very cautious, and specially reminded her to pay attention to the eating habits of a guest of honor this time.

"He likes spicy, he belongs to the kind that is not spicy or unhappy, but this point should not be anything to you, I see that you did a good job when you used to make it for Mrs. Yun."

Qi Yunshu remembered carefully, there were only two days before the banquet, which was a little short, and the whole process seemed very tense.

In order to ensure the level of each dish when it is served and determine its taste, as well as to familiarize the big guy with the practice of those dishes, Qi Yun specially followed the menu she drew up the day before the start.

When it was time to arrive, everyone's cooperation was already very tacit, and after some rectification, all the processes were smooth, and the dishes were prepared on time and within the time required by Su Zhi.

At Su Zhi's request, Qi Yunshu took the first dish and brought a line of maids to the table.

Before entering the flower hall where the banquet was set up, I heard a familiar laugh from the inner room.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Zhao is such a wonderful person, how could you come up with such a good idea!"

"Miss Xia praised it falsely!"

Xia Xiangjun! Qi Yunshu couldn't help but turn sideways and look inside through the thin gauze curtain.

Xia Xiangjun was smiling and talking with Mrs. Zhao, and there was Huang Yuying sitting at the bottom of them, and there were many people they didn't know, all of them were dressed in brocade clothes, and they were dressed as noble ladies with hairpins and jade hairpins.

This person was familiar, Qi Yunshu didn't dare to look at it more, for fear of being recognized by them, so he immediately retreated after a hurried glance, and just walked into the courtyard when he heard a familiar voice.

"Lord Wang, you can be regarded as back, you don't even know ......"

Before the voice fell, another low and steady voice sounded: "This king doesn't know that your young master Luo still has a time to find this king!" ”

Qi Yunshu's heart jumped, Luo Yi was talking in front of her, but the voice behind her was unfamiliar, but it was very good, she looked ahead, and there was a group of noble sons in brocade clothes who were strolling leisurely in the ginkgo trees and bushes with golden leaves fluttering.

I think I was brought here from the front yard.

Seeing that if he was heading up, he would definitely run into it, Qi Yunshu quickly went around to the back of the rockery on one side.

Her speed was so fast that Xiaohuan Xiaohe, who was following her, was startled, and called her repeatedly: "Qi Niangzi......"

When Qi Yunshu heard this, she wanted to go out to stop her, but she found that a group of people over there had already come over, and the leading steward Su reprimanded unhappily: "Who is calling indiscriminately at the mouth of this second door so unruly?" ”

"Yes...... Slaves...... The slave knows her mistake! Xiaohe was so frightened that she confessed her mistake, and her eyes couldn't stop looking in the direction of Qi Yunshu, wanting to explain that she wasn't screaming.

Qi Yunshu was standing at the corner of the rockery at this time, only nearly two zhang away from the group of people who came over.

But at this moment, she didn't come out, she didn't come out, and when she was embarrassed, she suddenly heard Luo Yi's familiar and light voice sound: "Steward Su, that's it, this little girl must be new here, not sensible, let's wait for Lord Zhao and the county lord Niangniang, don't be late!" ”

When you come to the master's house for dinner, you naturally have to give face to the master's family, some small things, in fact, they didn't disturb everyone, and Luo Yi made a sound to play a round, and Steward Su immediately went down the slope.

Watching everyone walk towards the path in front of her, during which she was only five steps away from Luo Yi, she was so nervous that she even lost her breath, her back was clinging to the rockery, and the sharp edges and corners of the gravel on it hurt her back.

"Qi Niangzi, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohe came back from the fright, but she didn't want the person in front of her to be more scared than herself, thinking that she was also frightened, and whispered to comfort her.

Qi Yunshu only said that he had been busy in the kitchen all morning, and he was a little bored at this time, and he wanted to rest and breathe here.

Xiaohe nodded, showed her the way back to the kitchen, and hurried back to serve the food.

Qi Yunshu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and looked at the towering cypress trees around her, the leaves fluttering and being blown down by the wind, there was a hostess like Su Zhi in the Zhao Mansion, and the layout inside was extremely exquisite.

Here is a lush forest and bamboo, surrounded by rockeries, quite a situation.

After a round and feeling a little better, she began to head in the direction of the kitchen.

Before he could move, he heard a burst of messy footsteps and hurried talking. "You're saying he's already in the capital?"

"What comes to the capital, he has to call back to the capital! Don't you think that by finding such a broken excuse, you can drive him out of the capital and the Zhao Mansion forever? ”

"Hmph, if you prevent it day and night, you still let him break free, then don't blame me for being unkind!"

"How dare you attack him? Don't forget, the old lady of the Zhao family is not dead yet! ”

"No, the poison he brought out of his mother's womb is enough for him to feel uncomfortable, and it is only a matter of time before he dies......"

The two of them were talking as they walked, walking fast and talking in a hurry, Qi Yunshu was still waiting to listen again, but saw that they had disappeared on the path in front of them.

Looking at the back and listening to the voice, it seems to be two middle-aged women dressed luxuriously.

She didn't know who they were talking about, but it didn't matter who they were, it had nothing to do with her anyway!

After turning around the rockery twice, but not finding a way out, Qi Yunshu panicked!

Well, she was road blind again and lost!

A white figure jumped down from the cypress tree behind him, patted the dust on his palms and said, "What's the matter, Ashu can't find the way?" Do you need me to show you the way? ”

Suddenly looking back, Qi Yunshu saw Luoyi Station looking at him condescendingly on a piece of Taihu Lake stone, his eyebrows were flying, and his expression was happy.

"I ...... I'll find it myself! She felt a little weak, and lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes uncomfortably.

Luo Yi restrained his smile and took a step forward, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Why are you avoiding me?" ”

Qi Yunshu saw through what she was thinking at a glance, and became more and more uncomfortable, muttering: "No, I didn't hide from you!" ”
