Chapter 70: Connivance
Xie Jingchen put down the book and walked over.
Su Jin looked at him.
"Young Master Xie, the new breed of chicken you want has been born, and there are all legs under the head, a full ten," Su Jin said.
“……。”
"And duck wings," Apricot added.
“……。”
"Yes, and two pairs of duck wings, can you imagine what that chicken would have been like when it was alive?" Su Jin asked seriously.
“……。”
Su Jin was ashamed.
She thinks she has a lot of imagination.
But I can't figure out how this chicken grows.
She really didn't know what the kitchen housekeeper's mother thought.
Remove the chicken head and duck wings, and this is a plate of braised chicken thighs.
Why do you want to draw snakes?
Xie Jingchen sat down, looked at the plate of chicken legs, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.
As a joke, the kitchen was taken seriously.
Su Jin held the chicken head and said, "The meaning of the existence of this chicken head should be to prove to you, Young Master Xie, that this is really just a chicken, and these legs are not borrowed from other chickens." ”
Xie Jingchen, "....... ”
Su Jin picked up the duck wings.
"But I don't understand this duck wing."
Xing'er said happily, "I know, it must be that the chicken wings are too small, this chicken has so many legs that it can't fly, and it needs big duck wings." ”
Su Jin nodded, "Your explanation is very reasonable." ”
Xie Jingchen silently picked up the bowl to eat.
He didn't want to say.
He simply likes to eat chicken thighs and duck wings.
"But this chicken is quite likable, it would be better if it didn't grow a head," Su Jin said.
“……。”
Ahem!
Xie Jingchen choked.
He coughed several times, "Can you please let me eat properly." ”
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, so as not to let down this chicken," Su Jin said.
“……。”
"Wait, let me say it again, I hope that the chickens of Agarwood Xuan will look like this in the future," Su Jin said.
“……。”
"Just this one, cherish it," Xie Jingchen said.
"Why?" Su Jin asked.
"Because the rest of the Guogong Mansion won't agree," Xie Jingchen said.
“……。”
Antiquity was trouble.
If you want to eat a plate of braised chicken thighs, you want other chicken...... Ah, not the chickens, it's the others who agree.
At this moment.
South Courtyard.
After the third lady ate a chicken leg, she searched for a long time on the plate and asked, "Why is there only one chicken leg and the other leg, who stole it?" ”
The maid carrying the vegetables shook her head again and again, "The slave doesn't know, even if you borrow a few guts from the slave and maid, the slave and the maid don't dare to steal the chicken legs." ”
A plate of braised chicken, my wife can eat two legs, she is tired of life, and she dares to compete with his wife for food.
"It's not you who steal it, it's the people in the kitchen who steal it?!" The third lady slapped her chopsticks on the table.
The other chicken leg didn't figure out where it went, and she couldn't eat this meal.
The maid was startled, "The slave is going to ask the kitchen housekeeper's mother to talk back." ”
Soon, the kitchen steward's mother came.
The third lady looked unhappy.
The housekeeper's mother said, "When the chickens were brought in from the big kitchen, they only had one leg. ”
"Chickens are lame too?" The maid beside the third lady was surprised.
“……。”
"Lame chickens dare to buy into the house?!" The third lady said angrily.
“……。”
"Mrs. is angry, this chicken originally had two legs, but the eldest young master wanted Agarwood Xuan's chicken to have a few more legs, and the big kitchen had no choice but to move one from the other chickens," the housekeeper's mother hurriedly replied.
“……。”
"The legs on this chicken are what the eldest young master said can grow with a few more legs, the eldest young master can't be stupid, right?" The maid covered her mouth and said.
“……。”
The third lady frowned, "Is it the eldest young master's request or the eldest young grandmother's request?" ”
"The slave asked, it was the eldest young master who asked for it," the housekeeper's mother replied.
"Seeing the appearance of the eldest young master obeying the words of the eldest young grandmother, I am afraid that there is really something wrong with my brain, the big kitchen steward Mother Li originally disagreed, but Agarwood Xuan's steward Mother Liu said that she didn't dare to tell the eldest young master, if you don't give the chicken legs, let Mother Li go, Mother Li is afraid of angering the eldest young master, and when the time comes, she will be angry and vomit blood, so she can only move from other chickens."
"I know that the ladies and girls like to eat chicken legs, but I didn't dare to move them all, I heard that I am afraid that there are not enough long legs, and I also used two pairs of duck wings to fill the number, if the eldest young master is angry, I am afraid that the chickens sent in the future will have no legs," the housekeeper's mother sighed.
Forget that the chicken in this soup has no legs, the essence is in the soup, and this braised chicken has no legs.
The third wife's face was gloomy, "Everyone's chickens are missing a leg?" ”
"Except for the old lady's, there are few others," replied the housekeeper's mother.
The gloom on the third lady's face melted a little, "I know, step down." ”
After the housekeeper's mother stepped back, the maid said, "Mrs. just put up with it?" ”
"I can't bear it, do you want me to make trouble with the old lady for a chicken leg, and a fool, what is there to worry about, let others take care of this matter."
"That's what Madame said."
No one took the initiative to say it, but the matter still reached the ears of the old lady.
The old lady's brows furrowed fiercely.
She also felt that since the eldest young master was carried back from the Dongxiang Hou Mansion, when she woke up again, it was different from before, could it be that something really went wrong?
The old lady looked at Mother Wang.
Mother Wang said, "Why don't you find a doctor to show the eldest young master, after all, it is the most beloved grandson of Grandpa Guo, in case the condition is serious, it is difficult to explain when Grandpa Guo comes back." ”
The old lady thought for a while and said, "Send the maid to talk to the county lord of Nanzhang and ask her to ask the eldest young master for a doctor." ”
The anger of the county lord of Nanzhang has not subsided, and he didn't eat it at all, and he didn't find out that there was only one chicken leg.
Previously, the mother-in-law came back from the big kitchen to receive the dishes, and she planned to tell the county lord of Nanzhang, but it happened that the county lord of Nanzhang was angry and didn't dare to say it.
The maid hurriedly went to the Peony Courtyard to spread the word.
Nanzhang County was not angry, and Zhao's mother said, "The eldest young master is not sick, what kind of doctor do you want?" ”
The county lord was stunned by them, and he didn't even ask for a doctor!
The little maid leaned in and muttered a few words.
Zhao's mother was stunned.
She looked at the county lord of Nanzhang and said, "The slave maid remembers that a doctor said that the poison in the eldest young master's body has accumulated to a certain extent, which will affect his consciousness, so it must be ......." ”
"What are you doing here stupidly, why don't you hurry up and ask for a doctor," the county lord of Nanzhang urged.
"Yes, the slave will send someone to ask for a doctor."
Dinner was a bit supportive, and Su Jin pulled Xie Jingchen to walk with her.
As soon as I was about to go out, I saw the maid leading a doctor over.
Su Jin was stunned.
Xie Jingchen frowned slightly.
How to get him a doctor?
The maid stepped forward and said, "The county lord has invited the imperial doctor to ask the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother for a safe pulse." ”
"Come in," Xie Jingchen said.
Su Jin looked at him.
This person was invited by the lord of Nanzhang, and the poison in his body is decreasing, so he can get it out.
Seeing that Xie Jingchen's face did not move.
Su Jin knew that this imperial doctor was his person.
"I'm not sick or in pain, I don't need to check my pulse," Su Jin said, "My stomach is uncomfortable, I went to the garden to eat." ”
Su Jin went to the garden, and Xie Jingchen went back to the house to ask the imperial doctor to take his pulse.
After taking the pulse, the imperial doctor was a little surprised.
"Young Master, your pulse is ......."
"You know what to say when you see the Lord of Nanzhang, right?"
"Yes."
The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, and the maid led him to the Peony Courtyard.
Seeing the county lord of Nanzhang, the imperial doctor was just about to say that the eldest young master's condition had not improved, when he heard Zhao's mother ask, "Is the eldest young master's brain really abnormal?" ”
Physician," ....... ”
The Imperial Doctor was a little confused.
Why do you say that the eldest young master has an abnormal brain?
"The pulse of the eldest young master is chaotic, and I can't tell it for a while, why do I think the eldest young master is abnormal?" The Imperial Doctor said it very strictly.
Mother Zhao said truthfully, "The eldest young master actually wants to let a chicken grow a few more legs, how does this look like what a normal person said?" ”
Physician," ....... ”
How could this be said by Young Master Xie, is it wrong?
Could it be that his poison has gradually been resolved, and in order to ensure safety, he has modified himself as a fool?
It must be like this.
The imperial doctor felt that the eldest young master was smart, and he said conservatively, "I can't detect it from the pulse of the eldest young master, but such an unreasonable request must not be connived at, otherwise there will be no problem, and sooner or later it will be problematic." ”
The county lord of Nanzhang nodded.
The maid sent the doctor down.
After the imperial doctor left, Nanzhang County said, "Do you know what to do?" ”
Mother Zhao said with a smile, "The slave maid will go and tell the big kitchen, and in the future, the eldest young master will give him whatever he wants." ”
"If the word continues, the people in the house are not allowed to discuss this matter."
"The slave knows."
