Behind the Shuxiang Garden Building, in the small courtyard of the old man Xia.

Ye Zhiwei stood up and gave a deep salute to Old Man Xia, "If I hadn't thought it through and sent eighteen vegetarian dishes to the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday, I wouldn't have given birth to these troubles." ”

Old Man Xia hurriedly bowed, "Princess, don't!" ”

Ye Zhiwei's expression was serious, "This matter is indeed mine, and it has caused you trouble." ”

"It's not your business." Old Man Xia sighed, "I knew that there would be today, even if you don't give the book to the Queen Mother, sooner or later someone else will come to snatch this thing." ”

Ye Zhiwei frowned again and again when she heard this, and simply said bluntly, "The Queen Mother wants to see you." ”

Old Man Xia had no surprise on his face, and sighed lightly, "The Queen Mother is also seventy this year......

"Yes."

He smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed, "It's all old." ”

Ye Zhiwei didn't answer, because she didn't know what the other party meant, so she had to keep silent.

"The princess, there is something to ask for below." Old Man Xia suddenly said with a straight face.

"Xia Lao, please speak."

"The old man has no children and no daughters in his life, there is only this one apprentice around him, and he usually treats me extremely filial, if the old man is not there one day, ask the princess to take care of him, do not ask him to be rich and noble, only ask for food and clothing, and don't let him enter other high-ranking mansions as a cook."

Ye Zhiwei was stunned, "I heard Xia Xiaomo say that you want to drive him out of Beijing?" ”

"I'm afraid it's too late." Old Man Xia smiled bitterly.

Ye Zhiwei was confused when she heard it, but she didn't ask any more, who doesn't have a few secrets on her body? If the other party doesn't want to say, even if she asks, it's in vain.

"Xia Xiaomo can stay in Shuxiangyuan all the time, as long as I am in Shuxiangyuan for a day, his livelihood will not be a problem." Ye Zhiwei said solemnly.

"Thank you, Princess." Old Man Xia stood up and respectfully bowed to her.

"The Queen Mother's ......" Ye Zhiwei looked at him tentatively.

"Anyway, I'm already an old bone, since the Queen Mother wants to see it, I'll go with you, but I didn't expect that in this life, I would have the opportunity to let her eat the dishes I made myself......"

When Ye Zhiwei returned to the Shuxiangyuan Building, the shopkeeper put all the dishes she ordered in the basket of the food box, which was full of ten baskets.

"There is a shopkeeper of Laoma who sent someone to send these back to Nanwangfu first." Ye Zhiwei said.

The shopkeeper didn't say a word, and immediately went out to run errands.

Xiaolian was surprised and said, "It's not early, let's go back too." ”

Ye Zhiwei said: "Naturally, I want to go back, but I have to go to the dock first." ”

The two of them went out of Shuxiang Garden, Xia Xiaomo was not at ease, and rushed to inquire.

"Don't worry, I have explained to your master, and you will stay in this Shuxiang Garden in the future, but without my consent, you can no longer go to other restaurants to work."

Xia Xiaomo breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad is old, I really don't worry about leaving him in the capital by myself." ”

Ye Zhiwei comforted him a few more words, and promised to come over to teach him new dishes in the future, so she got into the carriage with Xiaolian and went all the way to the dock.

Business at the dock's restaurant is still thriving.

It was almost dusk, the cargo ships coming and going on the wharf had quieted down, the boatmen had gone ashore for dinner, and the dock workers had settled their wages for the day, and they all came to the restaurant to see if there were any leftovers.

The restaurant only serves breakfast and lunch every day, and most of the dock workers have to go home for dinner, so the leftovers of the day are sold cheaply that night.

When Ye Zhiwei entered the restaurant, many dock workers recognized her, and a few acquaintances even made jokes.

Xiaolian was very nervous to protect Ye Zhiwei, these coolies were vulgar, sometimes the jokes were too big, even Xiaolian felt blushing, she peeked at Ye Zhiwei, but saw her look calm and calmly.

Sometimes even if the other party's words are excessive, she is not very angry, but the other party sees her so calm, she is embarrassed first, and she apologizes to her.

Ye Zhiwei entered the restaurant, and several nurses who stayed on the side of the restaurant came out one after another.

She and Xiaolian didn't enter the house either, only left the guards of the palace outside, and sat in the courtyard with five guards to inquire about the recent business situation in detail.

As the crowd was talking, they heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

Ye Zhiwei raised her head and looked outside the courtyard.

"What happened?" She was surprised.

You must know that there are many people on this side of the dock, and there are quarrels or fights from time to time, but because there are many nursing homes in her restaurant, no one is bored here.

All those who dare to make trouble here will not do their business in the future, and even if they have money, the restaurant will not sell them food.

"It's a new dock worker, I don't know the rules, because I came late, I didn't grab the leftovers, and I started to do it with people." I don't know who said it.

Ye Zhiwei listened to the louder and louder noises outside, and always felt that there was a voice she was familiar with.

"Let's go check it out, too." She stood up, followed by five guardsmen.

They consider themselves to be very responsible, and no matter what happens to the princess outside, they must make sure that she is safe and sound.

At this time, many dock workers had gathered outside the courtyard to watch the excitement, and people were shouting, some coaxing, and some applauding.

The nurses separated everyone, and Ye Zhiwei came closer, only to see two people on the ground pulling their clothes and twisting them together.

"Stop it all!" The nurse stepped forward and separated the two.

One of them slapped the dust on his body violently, and said to the man on the ground: "You have to follow the rules here, and you want to eat?" Phew! Not even a sack can resist the waste! As he spoke, he took a sip of the man on the ground and took the leftovers he had just bought from the restaurant from someone else.

The crowd of people watched gradually disperse.

The man on the ground was holding his head, his clothes were torn so messily that he could barely see the original color, but Ye Zhiwei still noticed that the material of the man's clothes was excellent.

It took a long time for the man to get up from the ground, his body shaking, and his eyes looked around blankly.

Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but be stunned when she saw his face clearly.

Xiaolian shouted loudly: "Young Master Ye! ”

The man heard Xiaolian's cry and turned his face to look this way.

Xiaolian was frightened and quickly covered her mouth.

When the man saw Ye Zhiwei and Xiaolian, his eyes suddenly flashed, "Rice...... Rice...... I want to eat! He stumbled over, as if trying to grab the corner of Ye Zhiwei's skirt.

The guards rushed up, protected Ye Zhiwei, and kicked him away.

A dock worker on the side laughed: "I don't know where this person came from, it seems that he is from a down-and-out rich disciple, and he has been messing around on the dock these days, but with his little strength, he can't even resist a pocket, let alone support himself......"

Ye Zhiwei stood behind the guards and looked coldly at the once invincible Young Master Ye in front of her, Ye Ronghe.
