Luo Xuan took Guo Xiaoxiao to a pavilion, Guo Xiaoxiao looked up, and saw that the plaque said "Moxue Pavilion".

"Let's go in and have a look." Rod.

Guo Xiaoxiao grabbed the skirt and went upstairs, and more than a dozen maids stood in front of the door, one by one respectful. Guo Xiaoxiao stepped over the threshold, a burst of orchid fragrance refreshed people's hearts, Guo Xiaoxiao walked to the window and looked down to smell the fragrance of flowers and said, "It's really fragrant." ”

"Bang bang." Luo Xuan clapped his hands, and two maids came in with two pots of flowers.

Guo Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and said: "Kale! ”

She stepped forward and stroked the flowers and leaves, and was very happy.

Nan Yue said with a smile: "The general knew that the eldest lady missed the old mansion in Yangzhou, so he ordered someone to go back to Yangzhou to get two plants. ”

Luo Xuan sighed and said: "This kale neither blooms nor bears fruit, it still looks like cabbage, and only you like it." ”

"You know what?" Guo Xiaoxiao played with flowers and plants, "colorless and tasteless, flowerless and fruitless, no desire and no desire, which is exactly in response to the sentence 'The wall stands thousands of miles, and the desire is rigid'." ”

Luo Xuan shook his head helplessly, and said to more than a dozen maids: "In the future, you will be the people of the county lord of Baoyi, and you will definitely serve the county lord with all your heart." ”

"Yes." The maids replied.

"Then I'll go." Luo Xuan looked into her eyes, "If there is anything difficult to deal with, come to me." ”

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao nodded.

Seeing Luo Xuan turn around and go down the stairs, Guo Xiaoxiao sat down. She touched the chair and sighed, "This is mahogany!" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao got up and walked to the side of the bed, touched the bed pole again, and sighed: "It's all good material!" ”

The room is very large, with all kinds of porcelain vases, agate jade.

"Is there lotus seed soup?" Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the maids, "I'm a little hungry." ”

The maids looked at each other, and no one answered, so Nan Yue said, "The county lord asked you something." ”

A maid stood up and said, "When you go back to the county lord, the slaves and maids don't know the county lord's preferences, so they don't ask the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Isn't there one on the street? Just buy it. ”

The maids looked at each other again, and Guo Xiaoxiao said: "If you don't have any money, you will go to the account room to find the official." ”

The maid said again: "If you go back to the county lord, the general's mansion has only been established not long ago, and there is no master in the mansion now." ”

"Oh, I forgot about it." Guo Xiaoxiao beckoned to Nan Yue, "Give them some silver taels." ”

Nan Yue nodded, and handed a few taels of silver to the maid who had just spoken.

"By the way, what's your name?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

"The slave is called Xiao'er."

"Xiao'er." Guo Xiaoxiao muttered, "Which Xiao is it?" ”

"If you go back to the county lord, the slave is a brave and warlike warrior."

"Bold!" Nan Yue scolded, "You dare to collide with the name of the county lord." ”

Nan Yue's posture was like this, and that Xiao'er didn't change her face, she was not afraid at all, and said confidently: "The slave didn't know that the county lord used this word. ”

Nan Yue stood beside Guo Xiaoxiao and said, "I didn't know before, but now I know it, I have to change it." ”

"The name of the slave was given by the Queen Mother, and I am afraid it cannot be changed indiscriminately."

"You are now a member of the General's Mansion, and it is up to the General's Mansion to decide who your surname is."

"The queen mother didn't agree to let the county lord change the name of the slave and maid......"

"Then you want to say, you are the Queen Mother's person?" Nan Yue took her words.

Guo Xiaoxiao was silent, using his afterglow to explore everything.

"The slave didn't say that." Xiao'er bent down slightly, my sister and I are both slaves, why bother me like this? ”

"You!" Nan Yue was speechless for a while.

"That's enough." Guo Xiaoxiao lightly pursed his lips, looked at Xiao'er and said, "It's okay if you want to continue to call Xiao'er, it's just that the general doesn't like you to call this name." ”

When Xiao'er heard this, her face immediately changed. Xiao'er looked at Luo Xuan's eyes just now, and Guo Xiaoxiao knew that Xiao'er admired Luo Xuan a little.

"Slave maid...... Please give the county lord a name. Xiao'er said.

"That's right." Guo Xiaoxiao got up, touched Xiao'er's shoulder and said with a smile, "Now that you have entered the General's Mansion, you should think about how to serve the General, why do you always think about the palace." ”

"Yes." Xiao'er nodded.

"Seeing your beautiful eyebrows, let's call you Xiu'er."

Nan Yue said: "Don't thank you yet." ”

Xiao'er realized it later, knelt down and said, "Xiu'er Xie County Lord gave her name." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao continued: "While the sky is still bright, let's go to the street with a few sisters to buy lotus seeds." ”

"Yes." Xiu'er and a few maids retreated.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked around and found that there were still ten maids, she thought to herself, there were too many maids, and she had to find a time to talk to Luo Xuan.

At night, Guo Xiaoxiao prepared to bathe in a wide robe, and more than a dozen maids surrounded her. Guo Xiaoxiao frowned and said to Nan Yue: "There are too many people, it's embarrassing." ”

Nan Yue smiled: "The eldest lady is now the county lord, and the degree of food and clothing is of course different from ordinary people. Besides, the general said, you have to take out the master's money and do your best to summon them. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao thought about it, what Nan Yue said made some sense, so he asked Nan Yue to let the maids come forward to serve. The maids rushed up, as if they wanted to strip off Guo Xiaoxiao's clothes.

Guo Xiaoxiao hurriedly protected the clothes on his chest and said, "Are you vicious dogs?" So rude! ”

"Slaves and maidservants do their best to serve."

"Forget it, go get some water." Guo Xiaoxiao left Nan Yue to serve alone, and after taking off his clothes, he went into the pool, but was scalded by the water in the pool.

She beckoned to Nan Yue helplessly: "Forget it, let them all step back." ”

The maids left one by one, Nan Yue personally added water to Guo Xiaoxiao, Guo Xiaoxiao tried the water temperature, and then went down. The curling mist filled the bathhouse, Guo Xiaoxiao leaned on the edge of the pool, closed his eyes and rested, he had not taken such a comfortable bath for a long time.

Nan Yue sprinkled flower petals on the side and said, "These maids don't know why, they don't know how to serve, and they say that they are from the palace." ”

"Most of the people who come out of the palace are good people, and these are obviously intentional by the informants in the palace, picking these tricky and restless ones to the general's mansion."

"An informant in the palace?" Nan Yue was puzzled, "Does the county lord know who it is?" ”

"That Xiu'er claimed to be named by the Queen Mother, I think it has something to do with the Queen Mother." Guo Xiaoxiao opened his eyes and wiped his body with flower petals, and continued, "I heard Brother Xuan say that the Queen Mother has listened to politics many times, and colluded with important ministers in the DPRK and China in private, and my great-grandfather had something to do with the Queen Mother back then. ”

"Then you mean that these maids have the queen mother's fine work?"

"Shh Guo Xiaoxiao made a silent gesture, "It's hard to say, but we have to be careful." ”

"If that's the case, didn't the general send the viper to you?"

"But Brother Xuan doesn't know which one is a poisonous snake?" Guo Xiaoxiao said to himself, "No matter how thoughtful he is, there will always be times when he is negligent." We can't rely on him for everything, he'll be tired. ”

Nan Yue smiled: "What the county lord said is true. ”

"The lotus seed soup should be almost there, let's soak it for a while and get up."

Nan Yue heard that many flower petals were scattered in the pool.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes, Guo Xiaoxiao dressed up carefully after bathing, and walked towards Moxue Pavilion. The maids were already waiting at the door.

Guo Xiaoxiao thought to herself, this group of people seemed to have nothing to do, and after she figured out the details, she must arrange things for them to do.

"The lotus seed soup is ready?" Guo Xiaoxiao sat down.

Xiu'er presented the jade cup and said, "If you go back to the county lord, it's already good, please taste it." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao watched Xiu'er put the jade cup on the table and scooped it with a spoon, but before he could eat, Guo Xiaoxiao said, "Who made this?" ”

One of the maids spoke: "Back to the county master, it was made by the slave maid." ”

"Stand up." Guo Xiaoxiao ordered.

A girl stepped forward in the front row, Guo Xiaoxiao looked carefully, and saw that this girl was clean from head to toe, a strand of hair fell down her forehead, and her facial features were very exquisite, even if she was a young lady from Yangzhou City, it was not much worse.

Guo Xiaoxia said secretly, okay, she actually hid such a beautiful girl.

"Don't you know how to sign up for yourself?" Guo Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Do you want each of you to ask me before you say it?" ”

"If you go back to the county master, the slaves and maids will follow the teachings of the grandmother in the palace, and if the master does not speak, the slaves and maids will not be allowed to speak." That beautiful lady holds her head high.

"Really?" Guo Xiaoxiao chuckled, "That grandma didn't teach you, when you talk to your master, do you have to grovel?" ”

The beautiful lady lowered her head slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be called Ying'er."

"If you go back to the county master, the slave is called Ying'er."

"It's the Queen Mother's name again?"

"Yes." Ying'er was very proud.

"Oh." Guo Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "What were you doing in the palace?" ”

Ying'er replied: "The slave maid was originally on an errand in the imperial dining room. ”

"When what's wrong?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked very carefully.

"Give the Imperial Chef a hand."

"Have you ever cooked?"

"The slave maid not only cooked, but also made tea for the prince." When Ying'er said this, her eyebrows were raised.

"I only ask you about cooking." Guo Xiaoxiao emphasized. Fang Cai also said that the master didn't ask questions, and the slave and maid were not allowed to speak, so they forgot about it now.

Ying'er smacked her lips and didn't speak.

Guo Xiaoxiao said in a contemptuous tone: "No one told you that the lotus seed soup you made is very delicious?" ”

Ying'er raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief: "How come? You haven't tasted it before, so how can you tell it's unpalatable? ”

"The food pays attention to color and fragrance, your bowl of lotus seed soup, the color is dark, the lotus seeds are thick into lumps, the smell is salty and greasy, and it is really unpalatable." Guo Xiaoxiao doesn't give face at all.

"How so?" Ying'er stepped forward and said.

"I don't believe you'll taste it." Guo Xiaoxiao tilted his head and said.

Nan Yue took another spoon and gave Ying'er a spoon, and when Ying'er ate it, her face changed in an instant, and her eyebrows were twisted.

"How?" Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Ying'er slowly swallowed the lotus seed soup and retreated into the maid.

"The slave maid has a word to ask the county master." Ying'er looked at Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes and said.

"Say it." Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, what else is this girl not convinced.

"The county lord has never tasted it, how did the county lord know that this lotus seed soup does not taste good?"

Guo Xiaoxiao laughed out loud and handed a glance to Nan Yue. Nan Yue Nai said: "My county staple has eaten hundreds of bowls of lotus seed soup, and if you ask about the taste, you will know if it is right." ”

When Ying'er heard this, she was speechless. thought that he could perfunctory Guo Xiaoxiao, the county lord who couldn't get on the stage, but he didn't expect Guo Xiaoxiao to know so much about lotus seed soup.
