Chapter 42: Go to her in person
Hearing this, Su Moyang closed the official document in his hand, slapped it aside, and said in a cold voice, "In this way, send a few more people over, and the kitchen in her yard will be cleaned up tomorrow." ”
"Yes, yes." Zhao Yan secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, "Your Highness, my subordinates brought some dishes from the kitchen, if you are hungry......"
Su Moyang's gaze fell back on the official document in his hand, and when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he didn't refuse, and said, "Put it down!" ”
Zhao Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, put the food box on the wooden table, and began to silently place the dishes and chopsticks.
Early the next morning, there were many more people in Duan Fu's courtyard. Yesterday it was just her, the two maids around her, and a few people from Joaquin who were helping to move things, and there were at least three times as many people coming in and out of the courtyard today as there were yesterday.
Duan Fu glanced at the kitchen that had already entered the finishing work, and suddenly felt that there was a lot of strength in people.
The housekeeper Joaquin took out a list from her early in the morning, and left a message that if she needed anything in the future, she only needed to ask him, and she didn't need to go to it herself.
For other things needed, Duan Fu naturally made the same list, when Joaquin sent someone to buy it, except for a pharmacy opened up in the study, she needed to buy the things in person.
However, the medicine cabinet containing the medicine was still drawn, and Joaquin found someone to do it.
After working so busy for half a day, her yard has been completely renewed, almost exactly the same as her design, and even the garbage left behind by the renovation has been cleaned.
Before dark, Joaquin led someone to send the kitchenware over, as well as the seasonings that Duan Fu had ordered to buy. Duan Fu glanced at it and praised Hua Jin, "Steward Hua's work efficiency is really high!" Even fresh vegetables and meat were prepared. ”
"It should." Joaquin smiled slightly, neither flattering nor flattering.
Duan Fu took a closer look at him and found that he was only about twenty-five or sixteen years old, handsome, tall, and by no means comparable to ordinary people.
This person is by no means a fish in the pool, why would he be willing to serve as a housekeeper in the palace?
"Girl, do you want to cook tonight? Do you need Joaquin to arrange for a few more cooks to come over and help you? Joaquin asked.
Duan Fu's small courtyard now only has two maids, Chunjiang and Huayue, and she uses it quite easily, and she doesn't want to add any new people for the time being, so she refuses Joaquin.
"Not for now."
Joaquin's courteous and thoughtful court Duan Fu made a gesture and said goodbye. After the idlers and others had left the courtyard, Duan Fufang felt that the air in the courtyard was fresher.
Although she signed a contract with Su Moyang, she can no longer travel around as before, but this courtyard is her world, and she will be in charge in the future. She thought optimistically.
"Girl, what are we going to do for dinner?" Chunjiangzui asked quickly.
Duan Fu glanced at the vegetables and meat that Joaquin had just delivered, "Let's have noodles!" Easy to digest. ”
"Noodles?" Hua Yue asked curiously, she glanced at Chunjiang, "Have you ever heard of this kind of food?" ”
Chunjiang shook his head, also looking at Duan Fu with a curious expression. Duan Fu glanced at the two of them and said with a sly smile, "This is my own creation." ”
"Girl, you're amazing!" Chunjiang and Hanayue smiled and praised.
Duan Fu was silent, and entered the kitchen to prepare the white noodles for noodles, first boiled some boiling water, and after the boiling water was cold, he used it to make noodles, kneaded the white noodles into dough, and then cut them into strips with a knife.
Two simple words, but it is very troublesome to make them. It took almost two hours to cut the noodles and spread them out separately, and if it weren't for Harue and Katsuki on the side, she wouldn't have had time to make the sauce.
During this period, Zhao Yan came over, and heard that there was something made by Duan Fu to eat tonight, and he ran back to recover his life.
He replied like this, "Your Highness, I heard that girl from Chunjiang say that Miss Zhu is making noodles!" If you can't wait, why don't you ask the kitchen to grab some snacks to fill your stomach first? ”
Su Moyang was writing a letter, and when he heard Zhao Yan say this, he said in a cold voice without raising his head, "No need!" ”
After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, "What did you just say she was doing?" ”
"Noodles are said to be made with white flour. However, the process is very cumbersome and takes some time to get it done. Zhao Yan secretly glanced at his master, and added pleasedly, "It seems that Miss Zhu is very concerned about His Highness's food!" ”
Su Moyang glanced at him and replied lightly, "Well, let's go down!" ”
Although the handsome face was still cold and expressionless, Zhao Yan knew that his master was in a good mood, and immediately went out happily.
After Zhao Yan left, Su Moyang put the pen on the pen stand, looked at the black courtyard outside the window and was distracted for a moment, and had some expectations for the food made by Duan Fu.
'Coo-coo', his stomach rattled uncontrollably, but he was hungry after a few meals without eating the food she had made herself.
He was slightly stunned, and suddenly shook his head with a smile, he has never been serious about appetite, and he actually has such a day.
The sky outside the window slowly darkened, and after about a stick of incense, Su Moyang didn't wait for Duan Fu's figure, and his stomach was rumbling again, so he had to get up and go out of the study.
When Zhao Lin and Zhao Yan saw him come out, they immediately greeted him, "Master, but you're tired?" ”
Su Moyang glanced at the two of them lightly and walked straight forward.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan and Zhao Lin immediately chased after them. I saw that my master came out of the Cloud Pavilion and went to the side courtyard next door. If you get closer, you can smell the smell of food.
The gate of the courtyard opened, and as we approached the door, the fragrance became more and more intense.
Because Duan Fu didn't like the crowds in her yard, except for the two maids who were waiting closely, she didn't want anyone else. Therefore, as soon as Su Moyang stepped into the courtyard, he felt that the courtyard was very deserted, except for the lanterns shaking under the eaves, it was so quiet as if no one lived.
He frowned slightly, and his gaze searched the kitchen to the side.
Compared with the desertion of the main house, the kitchen is quite lively, except for the sound of chopping vegetables. He walked over and saw Duan Fu busy inside through the window.
I saw Duan Fu scooping up some ingredients from the pot and pouring them on the food in the bowl on the side, looking very attractive. Is this the noodles she makes?
After Duan Fu poured the sauce down, a bowl of fragrant fried noodles was ready, but unfortunately there were no chili peppers here, and it had not yet reached the taste of the food in her mind. She had just put the noodles in the food box, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Su Moyang in front of the window.
She was startled, "Why are you here?" ”
When Chunjiang and Hua Yue heard the sound, they also looked up, and found that it was their own master, and immediately greeted with a smile, "Your Highness." ”
Su Moyang nodded lightly, he was wearing a cyan robe in the dark, looking very noble and cold, such a dustless and vulgar person actually appeared outside the kitchen, the picture was too strong.
Duan Fu took the food box he had just collected in his hand and walked towards Su Moyang.
Su Moyang turned around and walked to the middle of the courtyard, waiting for Duan Fu to walk up to him, he was thinking about how to answer her, why he appeared in this courtyard, but Duan Fu had already handed over the food box in his hand.
"Here you go."
Su Moyang didn't reach out to pick it up, but continued to stand in the night with his hands in his hands, lowered his eyes and looked at Duan Fu, who was a little messy in Qingsi, his right hand suddenly raised and stretched out towards Duan Fu's hair.
Seeing this, Duan Fu was startled, and reflexively dodged to the side, "Your Highness, tonight is limited, only do this, don't dislike it." ”
As she spoke, she handed the food box in her hand to Su Moyang again.
Su Moyang's outstretched hand paused in mid-air for a moment, and finally retracted it and put it behind his back. I only heard his cold voice resounding in the small courtyard, "This palace has dinner here today." ”
"Huh?!" Duan Fu was shocked, she glanced at Su Moyang, and saw that he had turned around and walked towards the living room, as if what he had just said was not a lie.
She trotted all the way up and followed, "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right?" ”
"What's wrong?" Su Moyang sat down at the log table in the living room, "Who dares to chew the root of the tongue behind the decision of the palace?" ”
"Yes, naturally no one dares to talk about you behind your back. But I, a powerless little woman, if someone chews her tongue and ruins her reputation......," Duan Fu's words became quieter and quieter, and in the last sentence, she was directly rotten in her stomach.
In other words, she signed Su Moyang's contract and can't leave the palace in this life, so does she still have any hope of getting married? No, it's not. She is only fifteen years old now, and the matter of marrying someone should wait until she is thirty years old to think about it!
As for the deed...... When she saves the masked man, will she find a way to slip away?
"What did you just whisper?" Su Moyang's ears were very sharp, how could he not hear what she had just whispered. However, he felt strange in his heart, did she really not know her identity, or did she pretend not to know?
Is it acting, or is it ...... Forget who you are?
Based on his observations these days and his temptations to her, he felt that it should be the latter. Otherwise, she wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to send him to the door.
"Didn't mutter!" Duan Fu smiled brightly at Su Moyang, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, and his beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and he had a light and spiritual aura.
Su Moyang glanced at her, didn't say anything more, and glanced at the food box in her hand, Duan Fu was clever, took out the fried noodles in the food box, and handed it directly to Su Moyang.
Chunjiang and Hua Yue were still busy in the kitchen, and seeing their master like this, Hua Yue took the tray and sent another bowl of mixed sauce noodles over, accompanied by a few side dishes, all of which were cold dishes that Duan Fu had just made in the kitchen.
"Miss Zhu, you've been busy for so long, you must be hungry, right?" As he spoke, without waiting for Su Moyang and Duan Fu to speak, they put all the things in the tray on the table. Then he smiled at Duan Fu very decently and retreated.
