Chapter 18: Before You Go Out

Finally, the dishes were served on the table, in a cubicle in the study, separated by a black bamboo screen.

There is a table in the cubicle of the study where you can eat, and it is very delicately arranged.

There are celebrity calligraphy and paintings on the wall to enjoy, and there are exquisite antique vases and strange stones on the bamboo shelves, tables and chairs made of pineapple wood are simple and natural, and there are fine white candles on the copper candlesticks, and the candlelight illuminates the whole room.

"Young master, this is yam lotus seed fish soup, this is steamed fish, and that is fried loofah."

Although the young master may know, I still introduce them to the young master one by one.

"And, young master, I have how to cook with my mother-in-law, and in the future, I will cook for you to eat."

When I said this, I became more and more angry, like a rooster returning from a great victory, and I was so proud, as if I was already in charge of the kitchen.

The young master said to me with some pampering: "Okay, in the future, I will definitely eat your dishes every day, but you have to study hard." ”

I nodded and said that I would definitely study hard and not disappoint the young master's expectations.

Wang Po said coldly behind her back: "She is still far from cooking on the stove, and now she can only do some chores by herself." ”

Wang Po said as she walked forward, and when she arrived at the table, she first filled the young master's bowl with white rice, and then handed it to the young master, and then it was her own.

Just as I was serving myself a meal, the young master said to Mrs. Wang: "That's okay, Erya helps you a little, and you won't be so tired every day."

Wang Po was very happy and relieved, "Young Master, the old body is not tired at all, and the old body still wants to serve the young master and your son." ”

In this regard, the young master just smiled helplessly.

He understands Wang Po's thoughts, and he hopes that he will start a family as soon as possible.

But there was no urgency.

"Lady Wang, I'm still young, so there's no urgency."

Seeing that the young master was so indifferent, Wang Po couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Young master, you can make a marriage at the age of fourteen, otherwise the good girls will be robbed." ”

"Don't worry, if it is a cigarette that belongs to me, no matter how others rob it, they can't be snatched away, so let's eat with peace of mind first."

When Wang Po heard the young master say this, she didn't plan to continue persuading.

I watched the conversation between the princess and the young master, but I didn't dare to interrupt, shouting in my heart when can I eat, I was hungry, but fortunately, the young master said to eat first.

After seeing the young master move the chopsticks, I kept up unhurriedly, I wanted to see what good treasures were in the belly of this fish.

Poke open the belly of the fish with chopsticks, only to reveal the hidden contents inside, it turned out to be a well-proportioned shiitake mushroom, and each one is very full, and there is nothing missing due to insect bites.

I've naturally eaten shiitake mushrooms before, but they are wild shiitake mushrooms, and they are not so well-proportioned.

In the past, whenever the mushrooms were ripe, my father and brother would go to the distant mountains and forests to look for them, and sometimes I wanted to follow, but they always asked me to stay at home because the mountains were dangerous and I was young.

The wild shiitake mushrooms that were retrieved were all large and small, and some were eaten by insects and ants, which was not as symmetrical as seen at this time.

If you find a lot of them, they will take them into the city to sell them in a well-proportioned size, without insect bites, or sell them to merchants who come to the village to collect mountain goods.

At that time, the usual practice of wild shiitake mushrooms was to cook soup, and occasionally my brother would go to the river to catch a fish and come back, and cook it with shiitake mushrooms.

After three years, I finally saw this long-lost shiitake mushroom again, and I don't know who went to the mountains and forests to bother looking for the delicacies, and then sent them to other people's tables.

But I have to say, it's delicious to eat shiitake mushrooms like this.

The ultimate combination of mountain delicacies and river freshness is enough to conquer anyone's taste buds.

At the moment of food, why should we be sad in the past, filling your stomach is the first serious thing.

When I was feasting, the young master on the other side suddenly said.

"It's been a long time since I've been outside the city to relax, Mrs. Wang, let's go fishing in the river outside the city tomorrow morning, and now is the time for the autumn fish to be plump.

By the way, let Uncle Zhao prepare one or two kites when the time comes. ”

"Okay young master, I'll go out of the house and talk to the stone later, so that he can get ready first.

Also, I won't be going tomorrow, and I don't want to toss around when I'm old. ”

The young master gave me a look, and the meaning was very clear, and I understood it.

immediately reacted accordingly, hugged Wang Po's arm tightly, and then said while shaking: "Mother-in-law goes, you can go, you can also call your grandson to accompany you." ”

In the afternoon, the young master told me that Mrs. Wang was married, and Uncle Zhao was her son, so she must have a grandson.

It's just that I often have to stay in the house to take care of the young master, so I don't have time to spend with my grandson.

So when I said this, I thought of my grandchildren who I hadn't seen for a long time, and Wang Po agreed.

When I went to get hot water in the evening, I ran into Sister Xin, and I shared the good news with her, saying that I could go out of the house tomorrow to play.

"It's so good, sometimes I really envy you, just assigned to the yard, I can go out with the master in a few days, and I almost forget what it's like outside, and I don't know if there are people outside who will miss me.

I've been in this house for so long that I've almost forgotten where I came from. ”

I couldn't help but feel sad and lonely for my sister, and at the same time I asked myself this in my heart.

"Otherwise, Sister Xin, you will go out with us tomorrow, and I will beg the young master later, bring you with me, and the young master will definitely agree."

"Forget it, don't do it, I appreciate your kindness first, if you come back tomorrow and bring me some gifts from outside."

I had no choice but to say okay, and then watched Sister Xin leave silently with a hot water bucket alone.

In that lonely back, there are many unknown sorrows.

In the evening, when the young master was washing his feet, he asked me a question.

"Erya, how long have you been in the mansion, why did you enter the Liu Mansion in the first place?"

"Young master, it's been three years since I arrived in Liufu."

After thinking about it, I continued.

"I was tricked into coming to the city, and then I went to Liufu to work as a maid."

"Liar? You were sold to Liufu by human traffickers. ”

Traffickers, it should be the young master's statement about abductors, but it's also very appropriate.

"No, I was brought to Liufu by my parents, not a kidnapper."

"Then you are worse than me, and you were sold by your own parents, it must feel very sad."

I was actually very angry, but when I heard the young master say this, it sounded sadder than me.

It didn't feel like a contrived fake, it felt so real that I couldn't get a seizure.

But this makes me wonder what kind of sorrow a person who has been clothed and fed since he was a child.

He won't be sold, he eats and drinks all day long, and no one cares.

I don't understand, is it the trouble of the rich?
