Chapter 147: Incomprehensible
This place is so quaint and magnificent, this lady is so beautiful and so capable, she stands here like a joke, and the smell of gold on her body is so incommensurate with this graceful place.
For the first time, she felt inferior. Where there is no deity, there are people who are not worthy at all.
Finally, with a "click", the pearls were collected.
As soon as the abacus stopped, the maid, who was as silent as a puppet, acted in an orderly manner as if she heard a signal. The maid sent a warm secret soup potion for Madame Pearl to soak her hands, some people massaged her wrists, some people gave her dew tea, and some people gave her favorite honey pearl dates.
Liu Zhi looked at these styles coldly, very good, she has seen it, she can go. She turned around and walked out, one foot had already stepped out of the threshold, and she heard a voice behind her, "Li Niangzi, please slow down." And the maid who opened the curtain at the door only smiled and stopped in front of her with her body.
Liu Zhi replied with one foot across the threshold: "Madame is a big man in Nanquan City, you want to see me, I came and stood to show Madame for so long, I should see it clearly." I'm still burning on the stove, and I have to go back. She figured she must have been standing for about half an hour.
Mrs. Pearl's voice is also good, low and readable: "Yo, I'm angry, it's a little lady." How old are you, I heard you're sixteen? ”
Madame smiled a little ridiculously so that Liu Zhi turned her head and glared angrily, and the maid hurriedly said: "Mrs. Li misunderstood, Madame didn't drink water when she was busy, and she didn't mean to be lazy." ”
If you are angry, the other party can be calm. Madame Pearl looked at herself with a smile, like teasing a little doll: "Don't be angry, do you want to eat candy?" ”
"I'm going home." Willow Branch became irritable.
"Wait a minute, I heard that your cooking is delicious, I want to try your craftsmanship, don't say yes. You take your feet back first, it's indecent and unlucky to stand like this. In the future, you must not cross the threshold like this when you go to someone else's house. As she spoke, the lady walked towards the willow branch, and saw that her steps were light and graceful, like a storm of water. Walking in front of him, Liu Zhi saw the legendary woman more clearly, she was thirty-eight years old this year, but she looked no more than in her early twenties, tall and plump, an inch taller than herself. Mrs. Pearl has a goose egg face, beautiful appearance, charming demeanor, plump skin shining with satin-like luster, not to mention men, women are also moved when they see it.
She gently pinched the willow branch's face like an elder and a close friend: "What a tender little lady, Li Chun is willing to let you keep the empty room when she is newly married, men are ruthless." ”
Hearing Li Chun's name spit out from this red and full lips, Liu Zhi was extremely uncomfortable, especially this intimate tone.
Willow let her take her hand and pull herself back into the middle of the room. Madame is kind in her words, but she has an irresistible coercion, which is naturally cultivated by those who have been in power for many years.
"What Madame wants to eat, I'll go to the kitchen and cook it for Madame." Willow Branch's ass stood up immediately before it touched the stool, and she wanted to finish it early. She felt like she was unwittingly caught up in a very ridiculous scene.
"Silly boy, what's the hurry, talk to me. How many women are there in Nanquan asking about you? ”
"Me? I... I have something to inquire about. Liu Zhi stammered, feeling that the smell of gold on his body was getting stronger and stronger, it was really rude and embarrassing to be around such an elegant person, he really should change his clothes and come again.
"Who called you Li Chun's wife, how many big girls and little daughters-in-law in Nanquan City coveted him, and originally wanted to tie him up in our Nanquan, but there was a childhood sweetheart who never forgot it. Miss Yan of the ninth room secretly ran to the boat to hide, wanting to go to sea with him, preferring not to have any title and serve him as a boat lady. A delicate daughter-in-law looked like a moon, stripped naked and waited for him in the quilt. And guess what? ”
Madame Pearl didn't have a trace of smoke and dust when she said such vulgar words, she sat upright and laughed, and even her voice changed unconsciously, it turned out to be a little girlish and naughty, as if she and Feng Jiaojiao covered their faces and muttered some secret things in the boudoir in the past.
If it was usual, Liu Zhi would have sneered from her nose and said, "What kind of daughter is it to do such a thing", but now she doesn't say to answer, and even her breathing is difficult. Willow Branch's face is like fire, her body is stiff, and Mrs. Pearl's aura is too strong, making people feel like they are in a sea of fire, like sitting on pins and needles.
Madame Pearl chuckled lightly and asked herself: "He, even the quilt is rolled up and thrown back to the Shuangyutang!" In front of so many people, tsk, Miss Nine can't live. Shuangyutang's face was also lost in the Bai family, I can't help it, I took away the sign of their lion stepping on the ball, and now the name of Shuangyutang has been changed to six rooms. Alas, what a ruthless heart, it turns out that there is no way to live. ”
Saying that, he let out a long sigh, half-truthfully complaining, "He can hold it for you." When I see it now, the little lady is just right, but she is not stunning, why did you say that Li Chun left her soul with you. ”
The willow branch seemed to be a bucket of cold water on her head, and it seemed to be roasted on the fire, and the black gold bricks on the ground in her eyes became bigger and smaller at once, she really couldn't stand it, and asked with a stiff face: "Madame, do you still want to taste my craftsmanship?" It's been a lot of time, and I'm cooking for my wife and I'm going home. ”
The kitchen of the Three Lions Hall is as bright and clean as the hall of an ordinary person's house, in addition to the two large stoves for cooking, there is also a small stove that does not go out, which is for stewing precious supplements, and the master in charge of the spoon and the servant who selects the vegetables are all holding their sleeves, and the collar and cuffs are clean and neat. Liu Zhi looked at the fish fillet slices of the master's slices thin and transparent, rolled into the chicken soup and became tender and white, what else do you need to do with such a good craft?
Seeing her in a daze, the maid who sent her smiled and said, "Mrs. Li doesn't just make two dishes at will, and Mrs. doesn't pick her mouth." ”
The willow branch gradually calmed down while cutting the bamboo shoots. Madame Pearl knows her situation well, but then again, she is the head of the Bai family, so I'm afraid that no one is not in her eyes, except that she disdains to know.
The question is, which account is this person who is worthy of Lady Pearl's blue eyes? When Mrs. Seven chatted with her, she once said, "On Madame's ability, there is a joke that it is not worth picking up a silver ingot in front of Madame, because she bends down and looks less at the account, and earns one less ingot of gold."
There was a thought, or a woman's intuition, that she instinctively avoided, but her subordinates unconsciously regained their weight, and the chopping board made a dull sound, with anger and shame.
She casually fried dried bamboo shoots and fried a fish, but the finished product was not good, the bamboo shoots were of different sizes, some were cut into cubes, and the fish was fried with broken skin. When the meal was served, but she was not allowed to leave, the maid smiled and said that Madame had invited her to have dinner with her.
"Try my cook's handiwork." Madame Pearl pointed out to her, a plate of bamboo shoots, as thin as a hair, and a pile of snow-white lying on a plum green plate.
Liu Zhi ate at the same table with her, only to feel an invisible pressure that pressed her stomach, and the pearl rice was only chewed in her mouth and couldn't swallow it.
"I heard that you still run a restaurant, but this craft is not good. Do you want to learn from my master? Both his father and son were born in the imperial dining room. The tone was very sincere, without a hint of malice.
Liu Zhi secretly hid his hand in his sleeve, pinched his palm desperately, and held back, at least don't make trouble for Mrs. Seven, Mrs. Seventh is also from the Bai family, and she has helped herself so much. She swallowed her anger and replied: "Madame is joking, my restaurant is full of rough work, just to fill the belly with a larger portion, so fine is to make a flattering eye for the blind to see." ”
Madame Pearl laughed, then shook her head, and sighed afterward: "I asked Li Chun why he didn't want to go further. He also replied almost as much, saying that it was enough for him to be able to eat enough and marry a girl from his hometown. He's just as petty as you are, and that's a waste of his talent. ”
