After Tang Mo and Mo Jing cleaned up the house inside and out, they were just about to sit down and take a breath, when a maid under Mrs. Zhou's came over and said that the master wanted to see the third lady. Mo Jing had to freshen up a little and followed Yahuan to the front hall.

As soon as Mo Jing left, Tang Mo felt hungry and panicked. Thinking of the attitude of those masters and subordinates in the mansion towards them, Tang Mo decided to go and find food by himself, so as not to look at the wolf's eyes and listen to the barking of dogs.

Out of the small courtyard, Tang Mo squinted and stood in the dark and sniffed, and soon smelled the smell of food wafting from a certain direction. It's not that Tang Mo is boasting, the dog can't smell the smell, but she can still smell one or two. For Tang Mo, the world is not as big as eating, so he immediately threw up his feet and ran in the direction of the kitchen.

The kitchen lights were still on, and the two cooks, one fat and one thin, were chatting while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Tang Mo took advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention, sneaked in and took a few radishes, and were about to slip away, when they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. Tang Mo had no choice but to retreat, and he hid behind a large water tank without choosing any way.

"Hey, it turned out to be Sister Momiji, did you come to the kitchen so late to find my brother?"

The fat man threw down the rag in his hand and greeted it with a smile, and touched it on the delicate white hand of the red leaves.

"Go, go, don't mess with me, Miss is losing her temper. I'm here to get her bird's nest soup, and if it's too late, you'll have to be scolded. ”

"Phew, isn't it just a girl, what do you have to do?"

The fat man looked disdainful, but he still walked to the stove and brought the stewed bird's nest soup.

"You keep quiet, the whole house is unhappy these days, don't let people seize the opportunity to beat you."

The thin man listened to Momiji's warning and asked with some puzzlement,

"Why? Could it be because of that third lady? ”

The fat man was suddenly curious,

"I'm wondering, the third lady married Chongxi, according to our hometown, tsk, this is not an auspicious marriage. Then why are the aunts and young ladies all unhappy, and it stands to reason that they all wish that no one could get a good person except themselves? ”

"Well—"

The thin man scratched his scalp and looked at Momiji, who was about to leave with the food box, and when he saw them looking at him, he rolled his eyes a little impatiently:

"I can't figure this out, I think you two are really living on dogs at a young age. What if that prince is washed by Chongxi? Isn't that third lady a sparrow flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix? ”

"Yes, yes, it's still Momiji's sister Takami."

"It's strange to say that the third lady is this, you said that the threshold of the general's mansion is not low, a concubine marries the prince, and the master of my family has also seen the aunts and misses, why is he unhappy?"

The thin man touched his chin and was a little puzzled.

"You are stupid, let your daughter marry a dead man, can you be happy?"

The fat man glanced at the thin man, feeling that he was a little lacking.

"Hmph, do you think our master cares about this third lady?"

Momiji bit her lip and sneered.

"That's right. Since the master doesn't care about the third lady, why is he still angry when she marries a dead man? To put it bluntly, this is definitely a deal that cannot be lost. ”

The thin man thought that if he was Master Li, he would throw out an abandoned girl, but he would come back to the in-laws of the General's Mansion, how cheap it would be!

"Don't you think you can't get over your face?"

The fat man looked at the thin man with some confusion.

The thin man nodded,

"Even if you don't care about your daughter, but you are given by the emperor to marry a prince who is about to die, you will not be happy. This face is also a little louder. ”

"It's only you two fools in this house who think so."

Momiji is not in a hurry to take the bird's nest back, and took a radish from the stove and said slowly while biting,

"Our lord is not happy because of any face, it is because-"

"Because of what?"

The fat man and the thin man looked at the red peony with a gossipy face, waiting for the following.

Hong Shao looked at the urgency of the two of them, the corners of her mouth lifted a slight arc, and she didn't say anything, but gnawed the radish in her hand one bite at a time.

"My little aunt, you're in a hurry to kill me, give you this to eat, you can tell us quickly."

The fat cook casually took out a hard-boiled egg from a nearby stove and stuffed it into the palm of Momiji's hand, Momiji nodded with satisfaction, and then lowered his voice and approached the fat chef and said softly:

"It's a long story. Because this is related to a secret of our master. ”

Hearing Momiji say that it was related to his master's secret, the fat man and the thin man suddenly came to their senses, and the fat man was still thinking about whether to give Momiji another chicken claw, maybe he could hear a more exciting inside story.

Momiji proudly glanced at the fat man and the thin man, and was about to continue, when he saw Yahuan Luzhu hurriedly walked in.

"Dead girl, I still have the heart to chat here, and the young lady is so anxious that she has dropped several vases."

When the red leaves heard it, it was broken, and they wanted to get a little cheap, but they forgot about the business, and the two young ladies started a fire, but they were not deep and shallow people, at the moment, the red leaves didn't even have time to say hello to the fat man and they hurriedly followed the green bamboo.

"Hey, you said this girl, she only talked halfway, and she still hung people's appetites and blinded one of my boiled eggs."

"Don't worry, boss, when she comes to the kitchen again tomorrow, let's wait for her to finish before giving the boiled eggs."

"Well, you're still smart."

The fat man patted the thin man on the shoulder, although he felt a little regretful in his heart, but when he thought that he would not worry about hearing about this gossip in the future, he would not go to his heart.

The fat man and the thin man cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the stove, and at this time, the fat man suddenly thought of something and suddenly said:

"Hey, I heard that the old lady will be back tomorrow, don't you think this is a little strange?"

"The third lady is married, what's so strange about the old lady coming back?"

The fat man glanced at the thin man,

"Of course you didn't know that you were late. Among the many young ladies in our house, I heard that the old lady is the only one who doesn't like to see the third lady. Although it was Aunt Huang who proposed to send the third lady to the ancestral hall, the old lady did not contribute much in this matter. Besides, hasn't the old lady been worshipping the Buddha in the Daxiang Temple in the past few months, and the old lady didn't come back for the old lady's birthday a few days ago. This time the third lady got married, but she came back in a bad way, and there must be some reason for this. ”

"Alas, who knows, maybe this old lady has become a Buddha and has become compassionate?"

The corners of the thin man's mouth pulled out a sneer.
