The chefs of Du Mansion are very busy every day, and the food and drink in the seven or eight courtyards in the Mansion go out from here, even if there is a small kitchen like Qiu Shiyuan, it is just to prepare some side dishes for night food, but the serious meals are still prepared by the chef and sent over.

The sister-in-law Ke who is in charge of the chef is an old man in Du Mansion, and she has been in charge of the chef for more than ten years, and she has changed from a slender figure to a short and sturdy woman with a big belly.

At this time, she was busy preparing the evening meal, shouting at a few cooks who were spinning around without touching the ground, and someone outside the chef probed in: "Sister-in-law is busy?" I've been really tired of you these days, and my lady asked me to bring a bottle of sesame oil to greet my sister-in-law. ”

Sister-in-law Ke glanced at it, and saw that it was the golden silk beside Pei Erniang, who was talking to herself with a smile on her face, and the original smile faded a little, and the work in her hand never stopped, and she hummed a few words: "Who am I, it turned out to be the golden silk, why did you come to look for me again." ”

Jin Si saw that she refused to take care of herself without smiling, and lowered her voice even more: "Knowing that the eldest sister-in-law is busy, the lady ordered to send a bottle of jasmine sesame oil to the eldest sister-in-law, and I want to ask the eldest sister-in-law to help arrange the arrangement.......

The big spoon in Sister-in-law Ke's hand was flicked on the stove: "These are all mouths on the top of their heads, but they can only eat, squirrel mandarin fish is naturally good, yesterday's mandarin fish was still left by San Langjun for a happy event two days ago, and there is no more." ”

"I don't look at the garden of the eldest lady and the second lady now, they don't pick vegetables, today they are all ordered to send regular food to the past, you are embarrassed to come, before you opened your mouth to ask for green onion and vinegar chicken, and now you want squirrel mandarin fish, I think it is really good, but now I haven't even given a cent of monthly money, and I am embarrassed to speak."

The more Sister-in-law Ke spoke, the more angry she became: "This is a noble lady who still treats herself as the Pei family in Chang'an, and she also points to being able to wear gold and silver, eat and drink spicy!" I don't look at what the situation of Du Mansion is now, how embarrassed to open my mouth. ”

A few words said that the golden silk dough was purple, and the hand holding the small bottle of sesame oil was not collected, nor was it accepted, and she couldn't find the reason for a few words, but she still saw a cup of white dragon simmering on the small stove next to her, and the snow-white mandarin fish soup had already bloomed in the boiling soup, and the fragrance came to the nose.

She suddenly became angry and pointed to the stew pot: "What is this, doesn't it mean that there are no mandarin fish?" Isn't this a freshly stewed stew? ”

Sister-in-law Ke sneered, rubbed her apron with both hands, stepped forward and carefully took out a few sticks of firewood, covered the stew pot, and then said: "This is what Mrs. Xiao wanted, and she also asked someone to send twenty yuan to come, and after instructing, the vegetables and food sent to the main house of Qiushiyuan should be good, and this mandarin fish was freshly bought from the dock." ”

Saying that, she glanced at the golden thread: "You can also if you want to, I will teach people to sell whatever you want to eat with the money, and send it over, otherwise it will be difficult to point to me to make up for it?" ”

Jin Si didn't have the face to listen anymore, turned his head and walked out, the bottle of sesame oil was also taken away, and if he didn't stay, he went out and heard the cook in the kitchen discussing: "It is said that the people brought by Mrs. Xiao will give an extra share of their monthly money, which is a good thing that I can't think of." ”

This matter was told as a joke by Sister-in-law Ke to Guang Dan, who went to the kitchen to get food, and Guang Dan came back to Xiao Rongyue word for word.

Xiao Rongyue smiled: "This is unusual, I have never heard of people in Chang'an who love to eat fish and meat, why is Pei Erniang different." ”

Yuzhu waited beside him and set up the bowls, and after listening to it, he hurriedly answered: "Pei Erniang has been in the house for several years, and she was still young when the Pei family was prosperous in Chang'an, so I am afraid that she has long since forgotten Chang'an's style." ”

Sanqi remembered the first time they met that day, but she pouted: "I think she is full of style, and she clearly thinks she is a lady of the family." ”

Xiao Rongyue smiled: "Since she wants to eat fish and meat, she will return to the eldest lady openly, the eldest lady has always felt sorry for her, even if the house is more difficult, she will not even be able to eat onion and vinegar chicken." ”

Guang Dan whispered and repeated the words of Sister-in-law Ke: "...... Pei Erniang held the high height of the Pei family lady in front of the eldest lady and San Langjun, and often said that the eldest lady took pity on her and left her in the house, she wanted to copy the scriptures for the eldest lady all the year round, and also accumulate blessings for the eldest lady, naturally she couldn't eat fish and meat all day long, and she was so greedy that she couldn't help it, so she could only quietly come to ask for Ke's sister-in-law. ”

Xiao Rongyue smiled and shook her head, such a wonderful person, no wonder he is like a fish in water in a place like the Du family, and he still wants to marry Du Huo, and Du Huo is really a pair of selfish and shady people.

But after hearing this, she only put it aside as a joke, after all, she really didn't care what kind of character Pei Erniang was, and now the important thing was to wait for the news that Xiao Jin asked people to bring back from Chang'an.

I don't know what happened to the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang now, and the East Palace......

She was frowning, and the golden fried cake in her hand had lost its taste, but she heard Zhan's mother say loudly outside: "Lady is eating?" The slave has something to say back to the lady. ”

Sanqi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Rongyue, feeling a little uneasy, since she entered the Du Mansion, Zhan's mother has become more and more big, this time she knows that the lady is returning the meal, it is obviously intentional, I am afraid that I will go back to the Xiao family today and get the orders of the lady, so I dare to come over without shying away.

Xiao Rongyue put down the Hu cake in her hand, let the camellia pour a bowl of white dragon cake, took a bite slowly, and ordered without raising her eyes: "Let her come in and talk." ”

Zhan's mother came in and watched Xiao Rongyue take a small bite of the soup, and saluted with a smile: "The lady eats, and the slave will serve." ”

"Here are a few of them Sanqi and Camellia Yuzhu, Mom sit down and talk." Xiao Rongyue was very kind to her, and asked Camellia to bring a couch mat over.

Zhan's mother hurriedly thanked her, but when she sat down, she glanced at Yuzhu before she said to Xiao Rongyue: "When I went back to the house today, Madame saw the lady talking to the lord of Lang, so she called the slave and gave a lot of instructions, and the slave thought about giving it to the lady. ”

She said this, but she didn't continue, just stared at Yuzhu.

Xiao Rongyue looked at her appearance, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and waved her hand: "A few of you go down, there is a mother here to serve, and I will call you in later." ”

When Sanqi and several people had withdrawn, Zhan's mother looked worried, and lowered her voice and said to Xiao Rongyue: "Madam said, the lady is young and just married into the Du family, it is inevitable that some things are not thoughtful enough, and let the slave persuade the lady well, you must not leave Yuzhu like this to serve by San Langjun's side, this is a scourge for nothing!" ”

"Mrs. said that the people in this room must be selected early, and they must be proper and thoughtful, and they must be brought by the Xiao family, so that they can help the lady in the future, and it will not be bad."
