Exiting the courtyard gate, she let out a long sigh of relief. In this house, she is a slave and a maidservant, a lowly subordinate whose life is in the hands of others, so she must breathe according to people's faces, and act with great care. Unlike in Shen Yuan, Shen Ziyi treats her as a person of equal status, so even if she is under the fence, the whole person is relaxed and comfortable.

So, she wants to be free, she wants to leave!

Back to the small courtyard where she lived, the door was hidden, and when she pushed the door in, the flowers and trees in the courtyard and the peppers planted in the corner were all as lush as when she left. Pushing open the door, the things in the room were neat, and they were still the same as she left. Lin Xiaozhu put down the burden, opened the cabinet door, took out a set of muslin dresses, replaced the gorgeous dresses that Shen Yuan wore back, and then went to the small kitchen.

"Little bamboo girl!" Mrs. Li suddenly saw a person coming in at the door, raised her head, and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that it was Lin Xiaozhu.

"Aunt Li, morning." Lin Xiaozhu naturally said hello to Lao Wang and the two mothers-in-law in the house, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Master Wang, I'll come." ”

"Oh, okay, you come, you come. I was about to make a yam and poria japonica rice porridge for Childe, who had a hangover last night. Lao Wang said with a smile. Yuan Tianye's breakfast has always been made by Lin Xiaozhu, and now as soon as she comes back, she snatches the work in her hands, and Lao Wang is not unhappy.

Rice has the effect of protecting the liver and stomach; Poria cocos and yam are sweet in taste, flat in nature, good for the spleen and stomach, and good for the lungs. This yam and poria japonica rice porridge is the most suitable porridge for nourishing the stomach after drinking.

Lin Xiaozhu saw that Lao Wang had cleaned the japonica rice, so he added water, put it on the stove, boiled over high heat, and then turned to low heat and boiled slowly until the porridge was almost ready, and added dried Poria cocos powder, yam powder and rock sugar. Wait until the rock sugar is boiled and dissolved, then stir well and serve out.

Take advantage of the porridge. She also used tofu, cabbage and other ingredients suitable for eating after drinking, and made three or four light side dishes, together with porridge. It was brought to Yuan Tianye's courtyard.

Yuan Tianye had obviously just come out of the shower, wearing a navy blue silver silk moire robe. Holding a book in his hand, he was sitting under the tree and watching, his expression was focused, and he didn't seem to see Lin Xiaozhu come in at all. When Lin Xiaozhu set up the dishes and chopsticks in the house, and came out to say that breakfast was ready, he stood up and put the book on a few cases. Walking into the hall, he ate porridge without saying a word. Lin Xiaozhu stood aside, also silent.

After eating breakfast silently, Yuan Tianye put down the chopsticks, took the cloth towel handed over by Mama Wu, wiped his mouth and hands, stood up and said, "Take it." "I went straight out the door and went to the study.

Lin Xiaozhu opened her mouth behind him, wanting to ask Yuan Tianye to allow her to take a look at the dim sum shop and hot pot restaurant, but saw Yuan Tianye walking fast. After a while, there was no one to be seen, so I had to lower my head and clean up the table.

returned to the kitchen and handed the food box to Mrs. Li, and Lin Xiaozhu went back to her room. washed and dried the dress that she had changed, took out the chess book that Shen Ziyi had lost to her from her baggage, and looked at it. But after reading it for a while, she put the book down again and let out a long sigh. In Shen Garden, laughing with Jasper and them, playing chess with Shen Ziyi, cooking a cup of tea and cooking a few dishes when they are in a good mood, the days fly by, and in the blink of an eye, it is another day. But back here, life has become difficult. Because she used to go to the store, only breakfast was made by her, and lunch and dinner were made by Lao Wang. So for the rest of the day, she didn't have much to do. No one talked to her, no one played chess with her, and even if she wanted to play a chess game, she gave up because she didn't have chess.

She walked out of the courtyard and looked at the narrow sky, distraught.

"Lin Xiaozhu." Yuan Shi's cry came from outside the courtyard gate.

Lin Xiaozhu jumped up and ran to open the door. Although it was very oppressive to see Yuan Tianye's expressionless face, if she could do something, she would still be happy.

Yuan Cheng and Uncle Yuan Lin chatted with Gongzi for a long time, and finally persuaded Gongzi to go out for a walk and relax. Uncle Yuan Cheng asked me to come and call you along. But let me tell you, Childe is in a bad mood, and you can't upset Childe anymore. Yuan Shi stared at her very seriously and admonished.

"Yes, I see, don't worry." Lin Xiaozhu's eyes lit up. She also wants to go out for a walk, so it's better to go shopping, so she goes to the dim sum shop, hehe.

She was a little maid and had nothing to clean up. Reflexively locked the door, and followed Yuan Shi towards the outside.

Yuan Tianye, Yuan Cheng, and Yuan Lin had already arrived at the gate, and they were waiting in two cars. Yuan Shi hesitated for a while, and said to Lin Xiaozhu: "You have a car with your son, and I have one with Uncle Yuan Cheng." ”

Lin Xiaozhu was very reluctant, but with yesterday's incident in front of her, she didn't dare to refuse at this time. It's just a car, and Yuan Tianye can't eat her. Thinking so, I had to get into the car in front of me.

Yuan Tianye probably didn't expect her to come to this car, looked up at her in surprise, and then fell on the book.

Yuan Tianye's car, although the decoration is not very ornate, is very comfortable. The windows are made of extremely fine Hunan bamboo, which is not only transparent and breathable, but also can block the view from the outside; The carriage was wide, with a thick layer of brown mats on the ground, and a blanket embroidered with blue lotus flowers on it, soft and comfortable, and the carriage traveled without feeling the slightest feeling of bumps; In the center of the carriage is also firmly fixed a hollow carved red sandalwood square table, under which there are drawers, which should be used to put snacks or books; There was a teapot and a teacup on the table, and the teapot was steaming.

Lin Xiaozhu saw that the teacup in Yuan Tianye's hand was half empty, so he hurriedly lifted the teapot and filled it for him. Yuan Tianye didn't raise his head, just looked at the book in his hand. Lin Xiaozhu glanced at it, but it was a book of poems. She raised her head and glanced at Yuan Tianye, thinking to herself, I don't know if this Yuan Tianye is really calm like this, or pretending.

"What? Think I shouldn't read this kind of poetry collection? Or shouldn't you be in the mood to read? Yuan Tianye didn't raise his eyes, but suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiaozhu was startled by his sudden voice, and then said, "I just feel very impressed." "I admire something, but I don't say it.

"In the past, because I was carrying a lot of things on my body, I had to read the history of the war all day long. Now, finally, I have the opportunity to see what I like. Yuan Tianye raised his eyes, looked at the teapot on the table, and smiled slightly.

Lin Xiaozhu looked at Yuan Tianye's face in a daze.

If she said that she admired just now, it was just a cover after being broken through her mind, then at this moment, she really admired Yuan Tianye.

Because in that smile just now, his expression was so pure, pure as a baby, without the slightest impurity. It can be seen that he really read the book just now, and he may have found a pure land in his heart in those poems describing pastoral life. So he put all the intrigues, intrigues, and even the bitterness of falling out of love out of his mind, and only used those poems to cleanse his soul and soothe its pain.

Who can quickly cheer up and accurately prescribe a dose of healing medicine to themselves when they encounter such deep pain, instead of scolding and complaining? Yuan Tianye, but he did a good job.

Yuan Tianye's concentration was quickly placed on the book, and Lin Xiaozhu stopped talking. The carriage "rolled and turned" forward, and finally stopped, and Yuan Cheng's laughter also came in from outside: "Childe, come down." I brought you to this newly opened restaurant today because this restaurant makes a very delicious fish. The last time I came to eat, I have been haunted by it, and I still remember it. Today, I'll take you and Miss Xiaozhu to try it. I dare say it's something you've never tasted before. ”

"What is it that deserves your appreciation?" Lin Xiaozhu opened the curtain, Yuan Tianye bowed down and got out of the car, then raised his head, looked at the two-story room, looked at the plaque and said, "The freshest in the world!" Hey, that's not a small tone. ”

"Let's go, let's go inside." Yuan Chengdao.

When the group walked into the restaurant, Xiao Er greeted them. It seems that the food in this restaurant is really good, and more than a dozen tables downstairs are full of people, which can be described as full.

"We've booked the best cubicle for you, lead the way." Yuan Lindao took out a sign from his arms.

"Okay, a few guest officers, please come with me." As soon as Xiao Er saw the sign, he enthusiastically led them up to the second floor and into a very elegantly furnished compartment.

"Two pounds of blunt fish, and a few of your signature dishes here." Yuan Cheng commanded.

"Yes." Xiao Er wiped the extremely clean table with a snow-white rag again, and then turned to leave.

"Wait." Lin Xiaozhu was originally under Yuan Lin's arrangement, and he was already sitting in the lowest position. Remembering that it was a blunt fish and another name for a pufferfish, she almost jumped up and pulled Xiao Er and said, "Take me to see your kitchen." ”

"The kitchen is pickled, and I am afraid that it will stain the girl's dress. It was still troublesome for the girl to wait here for a while, and the villain immediately brought the tea. Xiao Er nodded and smiled. The kitchen is heavy, and you can't let idle people wait to get in. Otherwise, if one or two people come to poison and steal teachers, they won't have to open this restaurant. But the person who can book this compartment must have some way to come, and it is not something he can afford to offend, so he can only explain patiently.

"Hey, little bamboo girl, just sit and wait, you don't have to go to the kitchen." Yuan Chengdao. He thought that as soon as Lin Xiaozhu heard that this fish was delicious, he wanted to steal from the teacher to learn it.

Lin Xiaozhu also knew that he was a taboo by saying this, and if he didn't make it clear, he wouldn't let him in, and said, "You blunt fish, is it called puffer fish again?" Is this fish poisonous, if it is not handled well, it will kill people if it is eaten? ”

Everyone knows that Lin Xiaozhu is not such a reckless person. As soon as they heard her words, they all suddenly changed color, and they all looked at Xiao Er.

Xiao Er looked embarrassed. He also heard the cook say that this blunt fish is indeed poisonous and needs to be dealt with properly. However, I am afraid that the guests will not dare to come to eat when they hear about it, and the shopkeeper has been calling it confidential. Moreover, this restaurant has been open for a month, and no one has been killed, so the people in Yanjing have not known this statement, and the restaurant business has become more and more prosperous. But now the girl called out the nickname of the fish, and learned that it was poisonous, how should she explain it? (To be continued)
