Chapter 145: Wang's Mansion's Comfortable Days
How did the pigeon of the light cloud come to Wangfu? Did you come to her?
Hua Manxi approached the pigeon and looked it up and down before removing a small roll of paper from the pigeon's feet.
Sure enough, the note was spread out, and the fine and elegant font on it was Xu Jinfei's.
Hua Manxi's heart suddenly jumped half a beat, and his face was also dyed with a few red halos, this, isn't this pigeon raised by Uncle Zhao? How could Xu Gongzi use Danyun's carrier pigeon to send a message to her? Isn't he back?
However, Hua Manxi read the little letter word by word, but lowered her eyes in disappointment.
There were only a few words on the letter, one was to report that she was safe, and the return date was uncertain, the second was to greet her mother's body, presumably Uncle Zhao told him, and the third was to buy her horses and a convoy, so that Uncle Zhao could help sell the chili sauce to the north.
On the whole note, there was not half a beautiful word, which made her very disappointed.
Although Hua Manxi was not very happy in his heart, but thinking of what Uncle Zhao said, his trip was dangerous, his heart softened again, and he couldn't wait to start replying to him.
Since his letter was so straightforward and frank, it was not easy for her to write some lingering words, so as not to be sentimental.
Therefore, Hua Manxi's reply is also extremely simple: Xu Gongzi, seeing that the letter is fine, my mother is fine, don't hang up, the convoy can solve the urgent need, I am very grateful, and I still need some time to go back and discuss some business with the Wang family, the richest man in the city.
After a few words, she rolled it up, tied it to the pigeon's feet, and released the pigeon.
As soon as the pigeon fluttered and fluttered its wings and flew away, her door rang, and Hua Manxi straightened her dress, restrained the look on her face, and then stepped forward and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was Wang Shishi with a smile on her face.
"Miss Wang? So early. Hua Manxi smiled slightly, and took out the silver ticket of Wang Shishi's redemption contract yesterday from his arms and handed it to her, "I was just about to go to you, this is the silver money of my mother's contract and Xiaoyezi's contract yesterday, you count." β
Wang Shishi didn't reach out to take the silver, and sneered: "Is I, Wang Shishi, the one who lacks this bit of silver?" β
"I-" Hua Manxi just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a gesture from Wang Shishi.
"What I'm missing is good food! It's delicious every day! Don't you know, a few days after you went back to Sun's Mansion, I lost a few pounds! Behold, my garments are overweight! Wang Shishi then said, and also turned around in front of Hua Manxi, and said matter-of-factly, "Look at how much this waist is loosened here!" β
Hua Manxi: "......." So?
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you put away your silver ticket and go to the kitchen to make me a few delicious dishes? I'm going to die, I'm going to eat fried chicken, I'm going to eat steak, I'm going to eat lobster, I'm going to eat seafood fried rice, I'm going to eat hot pot! β
"Okay, okay, okay, got it." Hua Manxi nodded again and again, with a meek appearance, "May I ask Miss Wang if she wants to eat anything else?" β
"This is not in a hurry, there is no hurry, in fact, I am going to introduce a distinguished guest to you today!" Wang Shishi suddenly approached her mysteriously, revealing a smile on her aunt's ill will, "Last time, you couldn't look down on so many young talents in my Wang Mansion, it seems that your vision is quite high, no, I spent a lot of effort today to invite this distinguished guest, make sure you can see it!" β
It's matchmaking again! Miss Wang, Miss Wang, are you so worried about her marriage? It's even more caring than her mother!
"I have a sweetheart. Miss Wang. Hua Manxi glanced at her helplessly and repeated.
"Ouch, if you have a sweetheart, you have a sweetheart, I will introduce you to this distinguished guest, we are all serious business, where do you want to go?" Wang Shishi is a serious way.
Hua Manxi: "......" is that she lost, she lost, these ancients are one by one, they are not like the ancients, it's really difficult.
"Then I'm going to make breakfast first, can I wait a while? Talk while eating. Hua Manxi suggested.
Her skills are so good, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to eat her food and then talk about things? Wang Shishi's abacus crackled, her eyes lit up and she nodded, and she didn't forget to say: "I want to eat meat, I haven't eaten meat for a few days, but I am hungry." β
"Okay, okay." Hua Manxi said two hello to her in a row, and then turned around and woke up Xiao Yezi and went to Wang Shishi's kitchen.
Hua Manxi brought Xiao Yezi out with the intention of training her as an apprentice, so he took her to cook.
Xiao Yezi is well-behaved, smart and studious, no worse than Li Qiuqiu, if you bring it up, you can also be a companion with Li Qiuqiu.
As for her family's side, Hua Manxi asked the people from Wangfu to go over, and only gave eight hundred taels of silver, so they agreed to sell Xiao Ye and wrote a deed of sale, of course, this deed of sale, Hua Manxi also gave Xiao Yezi, Xiao Yezi was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and he insisted on recognizing Hua Lanxiang as his godmother.
"Sister Manxi, what are we going to cook today?" Xiao Yezi's thinking is not as open as Li Qiuqiu's, a little old-fashioned, since Hua Manxi bought her back, she has regarded Hua Manxi as her master, even if she sells her deed in her own hands, she is also respectful to Hua Manxi and Hua Lanxiang, and rushes to do any work.
"Do you have any dishes you'd like to learn?" If you have it, I'll teach you, and I don't know what to eat well-" Hua Manxi intends to train her to make her own ideas, but changing a person's personality is not a simple matter, so it has to be taken step by step.
"Well, I, I want to eat the reunion cake at yesterday's birthday banquet, it looks beautiful, but I haven't eaten it." Xiao Yezi was a little embarrassed when he talked about this, and said shyly.
"That reunion cake, yes, then we'll make this for you to eat." Hua Manxi nodded and led her skillfully to Wang Shishi's small kitchen.
She has been in Wangfu for a while, although this Wangfu is big, but the road has been almost touched by her.
"Ouch, isn't this Chef Flower? You're back? This will not be gone, right? We miss you! Passing by various courtyards, there were people greeting Huamanxi.
"Hehe, I still have to go, but Miss Wang asked me to come back for a few days." Hua Manxi smiled and said bluntly.
"It's so good, it's just that Chef Hua's skills can be treated differently by Miss, Miss's small kitchen master has not been in for more than half a year! The only one was left behind by the deceased lady. β
"That's it, Chef Hua, how many days will you stay in Wang's Mansion? Don't forget to make us something to eatβ"
"Certainly, definitely, I will make food for you at night, and I haven't made the barbecue for you last time!" Hua Manxi nodded again and again and said.
Xiao Yezi looked at Hua Manxi's ripe twist as if she was in her own backyard, and couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Okay, Sister Manxi, you are in Wangfu just like in your own home, it's hard for me and Zhao Xixi, I still think how much you have suffered in Wangfu, run to the old lady every day, even if you buy the maid's money, I don't know how much it spent!" β
Hua Manxi spread his hands helplessly, and said innocently: "This really doesn't matter to me, the people in Wang's Mansion are so easy to buy, one meal is done, the most difficult thing is Miss Wang, it takes me two days to cook to get her." β
Xiao Yezi: "....... sister, you are so dragged, does your mother know?" She's going to tell her godmother!
Chef Hua came to the small kitchen smoothly in a cordial care and greetings, and the ingredients and various utensils and tableware placed in the small kitchen once again refreshed Xiao Yezi's understanding of the big family, and looked at the lively prawns in the pool and the big crab with claws tied to the big crab that was also moving again showed a stunned look.
"I, I've been in the back kitchen for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a big shrimp and crab!" Xiao Yezi stopped and looked at it several times before he sincerely admired, "It's really good to be rich, you can even eat crabs and shrimps!" β
Hua Manxi felt that the time had come to be a teacher, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's really good to be rich, but the background is not something we can choose." A family background like Miss Wang is destined to wear gold and silver as soon as she is born, eat fragrant and drink spicy, but we can't just accept our fate, learn the craft well, do one thing to the extreme, there will always be a day, even if it can't be like Miss Wang, but at least you can get out of the small village in the ravine, get rid of the fate of marrying early and having children, go to farther places, see more scenery, and eat more delicious things. β
Xiao Yezi listened, but showed an even more surprised look: "You, Sister Manxi, don't you want to marry and have children?" My mother said that it is a serious thing for a woman to marry and have children! β
Hua Manxi showed a hint of embarrassment and politeness: "You can get married and have children, but getting married and having children is not the only thing." β
"But the godmother has already prepared a dowry for you, didn't the godmother say that you will get married at the end of the year?" Xiao Yezi had heard Hua Lanxiang talk about Hua Manxi before, but she didn't know about the resignation.
Hua Manxi: "......."
She paused for a moment, then considered the words and said, "I have withdrawn from my marriage, so I will not get married for the time being." β
"What? Divorced? My mother said that the family of the girl who was divorced will not be able to get married, Sister Manxi, what should I do? Xiao Yezi showed a panicked expression, so anxious that she almost cried.
Hua Manxi: "......." Forget it, she overestimated this ancient, this is really going to kill the day!
Hua Manxi gave up the struggle and directly changed the topic: "Xiao Yezi, kill this crab and shrimp, let's make a casserole porridge this morning, and then make a meat floss cake for dessert." β
"Meat floss cake?" The small leaves are a little misty.
"It's the reunion cake, but yesterday's red bean paste and hawthorn flavored, and today's meat floss flavor." Hua Manxi explained.
