When Xie Chuyao woke up, the sun was about to set, maybe she was really tired, she slept for two hours, got up from the bed and stretched, looked around and saw that the maids were not in the house, but she pulled her throat and called: "Red Rose, Red Rose......"

But she didn't hear Hongqiang answer her for a long time, so she walked out with some doubts.

Before she reached the door, she saw Green Bead trotting in, and she asked with some curiosity, "Where is Red Rose?" ”

I didn't call Hongqiang for a long time, but I called the green beads.

Lu Zhu wiped the sweat on her face and said, "She just went to the back kitchen, saying that she was afraid that the eldest lady would wake up hungry and not find something to eat, so she went to the back kitchen to have a look." ”

"Oh......" Xie Chuyao sat down in front of the dresser, took down the herbs on his face one by one, and saw that the scars on it had already scabbed a little, so he asked again: "Is the medicine boiled?" ”

"Boil, boil, do you want to drink it now?" Lu Zhu's face was a little anxious, but he was still pretending to be calm under Xie Chuyao's gaze.

Xie Chuyao looked at her for a while, until she knelt down anymore, and then asked, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Zhu's temperament is relatively calm, if something hadn't happened, she wouldn't have leaked out like this.

Lu Zhu bit her lip and said, "Miss, that, in fact, I lied just now......"

Xie Chuyao didn't speak, just looked at her with heavy eyes.

"Hongqiang went to the back kitchen, but she was carried back...... "Lu Zhu said, her face was full of anger, "We have never been favored by the people in the back kitchen, every time it is after noon, you can't go over to add food, this time Hongqiang is afraid that the eldest lady will wake up and can't find anything to eat, so she went to find the kitchen that is good with her Cui Hong to help make a little, but this just started the fire and put the pot, and was caught by the kitchen ladies in the back kitchen, and I couldn't help but beat the red rose and called someone to carry it back to the courtyard."

After speaking, Lu Zhu's face was already covered with tears.

The more Xie Chuyao listened, the more her little face wrinkled, and she said to Lu Zhu: "Don't cry, help me bring the medicine first." ”

Lu Zhu was a little stunned when she heard this, but she still obediently wiped her tears and went to the yard to bring the medicine.

She originally thought that the eldest lady had changed, but her attitude just now made her a little confused, and she didn't know if the eldest lady would seek justice for Red Qiang.

However, with the previous temperament of the eldest lady, it is impossible to seek justice, thinking of this, she sighed slightly, only complaining that they had a hard life and followed such a timid master.

Lu Zhu took the medicine into the back room, during which Xie Chuyao didn't say a word, just silently drank the medicine in the bowl, then put the bowl on the dresser, got up and looked at her and said, "Let's go, let's go outside." ”

Going outside?

Lu Zhu couldn't react and asked, "Is Miss going out of the house?" The second lady just punished the eldest lady, and the slave maid saw that the eldest lady should not go out again for the time being, and after a while, the second lady will no longer remember the eldest lady and then go out! ”

"If you don't go out, just walk around this house." Xie Chuyao said, took a pink coat and put it on, and then strode out of the back room.

As soon as I got out of the yard, I saw the two rough girls whispering, and I didn't know what they were talking about. Seeing her come out, he quickly silenced her, and separated to continue to clean up the yard.

Xie Chuyao didn't pay attention to them, she just glanced at them, and when she saw that they were all a little scared, she lowered her head and walked out of the yard again.

Lu Zhu followed behind her, and she didn't know where her eldest lady was going, so she had to follow hard.

"Miss, the front is the back kitchen, is Miss hungry? If I'm hungry, I'll go over and get some food, so I'd better go back to the courtyard and rest first. "It's almost dinner time now, and the kitchen has prepared all the food in each room waiting for them to get it.

Xie Chuyao shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go in person!" ”

Lu Zhu followed her a little expectantly and a little scared, she really came to this back kitchen, but she was a little worried that her master was really here to stand up for Hongqiang, if she made a fuss, the eldest lady would definitely not be able to get a little good.

There are three cooks in the back kitchen, first of all, the head of the kitchen is a slightly chubby short man, she looks black, and she looks a little unattractive, but the craftsmanship is one of the most famous in Kyoto, otherwise she would not be included in the shogun's mansion to be the first chef.

The second chef is a thin man in his forties, dressed up in a fancy way, but he is actually the most mean.

The third child is a handyman, washing vegetables, cutting meat, she did all this, she is in her thirties, and she still looks a little good, but she has been rolling in this smoke pot for many years, and she doesn't like to dress up, and she still doesn't look very eye-catching.

"Yo, isn't this our eldest lady? Why do you have time to come to our little kitchen today? As soon as the second chef Li Xiaoya saw Xie Chuyao, she shouted at her.

Xie Chuyao glanced at her, then asked with a smile: "Aunt Li, I don't know if the maid in my courtyard came just now?" ”

"I've been here, I said, how do you teach people? Stealing things actually stole into our back kitchen, this is the most important place in the entire general's mansion, all the aunts' food is out from here, you say that if this is missing the delicacies of the mountains and seas, we are not easy to explain, right? Aunt Li said as she threw out the melon seed shell in her hand, which happened to splash Xie Chuyao's body.

"You, why are you like this, where are you throwing melon seed shells!" Luzhu was so angry that she wanted to go up to her to theorize.

Xie Chuyao gently pulled the green beads, and she was not angry when she was splashed with a handful of melon seeds, but just looked at Aunt Li's face carefully, and asked after a while: "Aunt Li, I don't know when my father handed over the right of punishment to the people in your back kitchen?" My maid is ignorant and wants to find me something to eat to fill her stomach, but you said that she stole a little too much, I wonder which eye of yours saw her stealing? ”

After speaking, she swept her eyes over the two people who were resting outside the kitchen one by one, Aunt Xie and Sister-in-law Sanhua.

Sister-in-law Hua didn't squeak the whole time, only occasionally raised her eyes to look at her, and quickly looked elsewhere.

"The general didn't give us the right, but if she stole something, she had to be punished, we didn't see her stealing, but the physical evidence is in the pot, doesn't the flour need money? Doesn't that oil cost money? It's either meal time to come and make food, or steal! Aunt Li's tone was very bad, anyway, she has the support of the second lady, and she is afraid that this eldest lady who has no mother's pain will not be successful?
