127 Here it is
"Oh, this is in a hurry, is something wrong?" Aunt Niu said as she gestured with her eyes.
What she saw was Cheng Wu, who was still standing in the courtyard of the Sheng family.
To be honest, Cheng Wu is indeed a little more vicious, even the two subordinates of Wan Shopkeeper, Wan San and Wan Si, are not as good as one ten-thousandth of him.
Aunt Niu whispered: "I looked at it just now, what is the origin of this person?" β
Because Cheng Wu didn't make any threatening moves to Sheng Qingqing, Aunt Niu also "stood still", but she didn't expect Sheng Qingqing to run back to the house after a while, and she came to her with her two children after a while.
"That's right." Sheng Qingqing took a breath before explaining: "Second aunt, I'm going out for a few days, can these two children please take care of you?" β
Aunt Niu was startled, "Where are you going?" β
In her impression, Sheng Qingqing is still the little girl who doesn't talk much. Later, because of Li's affairs, although his temper changed a little and he seemed to be more outgoing, he still didn't like to go out and stayed at home every day. Why is this suddenly going out? Or with a strange man.
Sheng Qingqing hesitated for a moment, and saw that Aunt Niu's expression was getting more and more wrong, so she still explained in a low voice, and said, "Second aunt, it's from the Cheng family." β
"The Cheng family?" Aunt Niu gasped.
When the Cheng family came a few years ago, she was also present, and naturally she also knew about the transaction between the Cheng family and Sheng Qingqing. But at the time she thought it was just a joke. After all, with the ability of the Cheng family, where can there be a lack of a cook.
However, now it seems that the noble young master of the Cheng family is actually serious?
Sheng Qingqing also felt a headache, "Hey, anyway, it's someone who is here now, so I have to set off immediately in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't be so flustered." β
"Of course it's no problem to take care of Gu Zhizhi and Siming." In the past, when Sheng Qingqing had not come to this world, Aunt Niu often took care of these children. So this thing is actually very easy for her.
Aunt Niu's real concern now is......
"Miss Qing, do you really want to go to Cheng's house?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Cheng family is really no different from the Longtan Tiger's Den. There may really be a treasure in it that makes people blush, but along with the treasure, there are also countless fierce beasts. A little girl like Sheng Qingqing entered the Cheng family, but there were no bones left to eat?
Hearing Aunt Niu's worries, Sheng Qingqing squeezed out a smile.
"No, since that Young Master Cheng invited me from so far away, then he definitely didn't play with me, and I don't have anything worth playing with him."
said so, but Sheng Qingqing was also worried in her heart, but now she has no room to refuse.
"It's okay, I'll be back safely." Sheng Qingqing smiled, patted the little heads of the two children again, and said with a warm smile: "Sister, I'll go for a few days, and I'll be back then, you guys are obedient at home, and when the time comes, Sister will come back and bring you delicious food and fun." β
Sheng Zhizhi still wanted to cry, but Sheng Siming was much more well-behaved. He looked like he wanted to cry, but nodded obediently.
Sheng Qingqing didn't dare to look at the two children anymore, and said to Aunt Niu again: "I'm sorry for you." β
Then without waiting for Aunt Niu to say anything, she turned around and walked home.
Although her stuff is in the space, it still needs to be blindfolded, so she has to go to the kitchen to clean up a little thing.
Half an hour later......
"You can go." Sheng Qingqing said expressionlessly.
Cheng Wu was still expressionless, and his tone remained unchanged at this time, and said, "Then please get in the car." β
Sheng Qingqing took a small package and got into the carriage without squinting.
Not far away, in the yard of Niu's house, Aunt Niu was taking her two children and watching her get in the car and leave.
Seeing the carriage galloping away, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming finally couldn't help but cry.
Since they were born, although their families are poor, the three siblings have been hungry for the last meal. But the three siblings have never been separated, and now, they are forced to separate.
Aunt Niu was out of breath when she watched the two children crying, and she was also very distressed. But she could only comfort a few words, "It's okay, your sister will be back in two days." Come, don't cry, the second aunt will make you something to eat! β
β¦β¦
Sheng Qingqing sat in the carriage with her small package in her arms, her eyes closed expressionlessly.
It's not that she's emotionally cleaned up quickly, but because of ...... The so-called fastest and most luxurious carriage in ancient times was reallyβso uncomfortable!
Not to mention the cramped carriages, but the wooden wheels rolled quickly over the uneven dirt road. The level of bump will make people's butts crack. No wonder the car should be covered with soft pads, if there was no soft pads, Sheng Qingqing felt that her internal organs should have been turned upside down by now.
At this time, Sheng Qingqing was very glad that she didn't have motion sickness, otherwise she would have vomited in the dark.
But even if there was no motion sickness, the bumps of the carriage made her distracted, and she could only empty herself completely, and she had no mind to think about other people or things at all.
It's also a rare way to decompress......
!
Sheng Qingqing rolled her eyes, endured the pain in her buttocks, and carefully changed her posture to sit.
She began to miss her two children as soon as she left, worrying about whether they would be scared at night and whether they would eat obediently......
It's a pity that I got on the "thief ship" and couldn't get down!
The environment inside this carriage may have been considered gorgeous to others.
The seats of the passengers were covered with thick cushions, which were all sewn with fine silk. You must know that ordinary people may be reluctant to buy an inch of silk after a year of hard work. Silk has always been a luxury, and only wealthy merchants and officials are willing to use it.
In addition to the seats, there is a small number in the carriage, probably because I am worried that the car will be bumpy and will make the passengers accidentally bump into it, so even the four corners of the small number are wrapped by soft cushions.
There are a few drawers on the small table, and when you open it, you can see the pastries and melons and fruits stored inside, which look very fresh, and even the pastries are still soft, which should have been put in for a long time.
However, Sheng Qingqing's mind was already confused, not to mention her appetite. No matter how fresh these things are, in the eyes of Sheng Qingqing at this time, they are no different from waste paper.
I don't know how long it was bumpy, but the carriage stopped to rest in the middle. Even Cheng Wu invited Sheng Qingqing to get out of the car and wanted to invite her to dinner.
However, in the face of the invitation, Sheng Qingqing refused without hesitation.
She still eats, and if she doesn't spit it out, she already has a strong stomach.
I stayed up all day, and it wasn't until sunset that the carriage really stopped. Cheng Wu finally brought a real piece of good news.
"It's here, Miss Sheng get out of the car."
Sheng Qingqing staggered out of the car and jumped down with a blank face.
However, she didn't eat all day, her legs were very weak, and when she jumped down, she almost fell to the ground.
"Multi-...... Thanks a lot. Sheng Qingqing was out of breath.
Cheng Wu's face didn't change, he let go of his hand, and said, "Miss Sheng, I only sent you here, and then you have to follow the housekeeper." β
Chamberlain?
Sheng Qingqing's brain was a little dull at this time, and after thinking about it for a long time, she thought that she had seen the Cheng family's housekeeper. The last time I came to Shengjia Village with the young master of the Cheng family, what is it called?
These subordinates of the Cheng family seem to be ranked according to their names and numbers, and at this time, Sheng Qingqing's thoughts are a little confused, and she can't remember whether she is alive or dead.
And just when she was thinking hard, Cheng Wu beside her disappeared without a trace at some point, and it was another middle-aged man who stood there instead of Cheng Wu.
"Miss Sheng?"
Sheng Qingqing was startled by the sudden voice, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Miss Sheng be careful." This man has a mild-mannered attitude.
Sheng Qingqing took a closer look and found that it was actually a person she had seen. I can't name it, but at least it's familiar.
Seeing Sheng Qingqing standing still, this person continued: "Miss Sheng, let's meet again." I am the butler of the Cheng family, and you can call me 'Steward Cheng' in the future." β
Sheng Qingqing swallowed her throat, she was actually a little unable to react, but at this time she instinctively shouted.
"Hello Steward Cheng."
Steward Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "The young master has instructed Miss Sheng to arrange the banquet for the day after tomorrow." The young master's orders, the Cheng family naturally have to obey, but the banquet is also very important. Miss Sheng's craftsmanship, only the young master tasted it last time, I wonder if there is such an honor to taste it today? β
This is elegant, and it is also very tactful, but if it is briefly summarized, it is a bit hurtful.
In the final analysis, according to the meaning of this Steward Cheng, that is, he is saying that the banquet the day after tomorrow is very important, although Young Master Cheng recommended Sheng Qingqing to prepare the food at the banquet, but Steward Cheng did not believe in Sheng Qingqing's craftsmanship, so he wanted to test her, if she passed, then naturally according to Young Master Cheng's intentions, let Sheng Qingqing arrange the banquet. And if it doesn't pass, then ......
What the consequences are, Sheng Qingqing doesn't know. But she felt that there was nothing wrong with that. After all, in the eyes of uninformed people, Sheng Qingqing is an unfamous little girl in the countryside, and her skills can be outstanding. It's good enough to be able to make some home-cooked meals, let alone prepare for a banquet.
For people like the Cheng family, those who can let them feast must have an extraordinary status, and this banquet must not allow the slightest mistake.
Sheng Qingqing stroked the corners of her forehead and suppressed the feeling of dizziness.
"Okay, I'm going to prepare, has Steward Cheng eaten dinner?" If not, I hope that the dinner I have prepared, Steward Cheng can taste it. β
Since she agreed to the invitation of the Cheng family, she must do her best. No matter what she does, she doesn't like to give up halfway, and she doesn't like to be perfunctory.
