Chapter 21: Discussions
"Second Young Master, Second Young Lady is back!" Helan reminded in a whisper.
Nangong Yifeng raised his head carelessly, and when he saw Li Bingru's makeup, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and squinted his eyes to drink his tea.
"Second young lady, the morning is cool, you must wear more clothes before going out." Helan brought a peach-colored gauze dress and put it on Li Bingru's body, and said, "Breakfast is ready, please enjoy it for the second young master and the second young lady!" ”
Li Bingru pulled the gauze that was as thin as a cloud, and couldn't understand what was the difference between wearing such a thin coat and not wearing it? Because of the cold face in front of him, Li Bingru stuck out her tongue and didn't say anything.
There were six dishes on the table, a plate of steamed buns, and a soup pot of porridge, which were much more sumptuous than yesterday's plate of steamed buns, a bowl of lotus seed porridge, and a plate of green vegetables.
It's just that......
Li Bingru looked at the two pairs of chopsticks on the table, and looked at the domineering Nangong Yifeng, who wanted to eat at the same table with him?
"I ......"
She shook her head, and when she saw the messy clothes stacked in the corner, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly went over to pick them up, "Helan, where is the laundry room, these clothes smell so bad, I'm going to take them and wash them." ”
"Second young lady......" Helan stood in place at a loss, still holding the porridge that had just been served in front of Nangong Yifeng in her hand.
"Leave those to the slave and maid."
"Don't dare to drive."
Li Bingru thought of the morning's events, and her heart was itching with hatred, she stepped in front of Nangong Yifeng in two steps, and said word by word: "Do your own thing." I have hands and feet, so I don't want to sit there like a waste and wait to eat and die, and I can't wait for others to bring food to my mouth! ”
"These rough jobs are all done by slaves and maids, the second young master and the second young lady are the masters, so you can't say anything like this!"
Helan knelt on the ground with a "plop" as she spoke, tears gradually gathering in her frightened eyes.
"If the slave maid did something wrong, or said something wrong, the second young lady would not complain even if she was punished. From the day the second young lady entered the door, the second young lady was the master of the slave and maid, and it was the slave's fault that she could not take good care of the master......"
Li Bingru slumped, she didn't know what to say, no matter how she was angry with Nangong Yifeng, Helan was innocent.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't targeting you." Li Bingru bent down to help Helan, and then said, "I'm going to do the laundry." ”
What else did Helan want to say, but Nangong Yifeng opened his mouth lightly.
"Let her go!"
Helan looked at Li Bingru's disappearing back uneasily, and wiped away the tears on her face.
"The slave waits for the second young master to eat."
"Withdraw!"
Nangong Yifeng stood up, and when he walked to the door of the room, he turned back and said, "It's time to clean the Qingxiang Pavilion." ”
Li Bingru walked a long way before she realized that she didn't know the location of the laundry room, and she was walking in the direction of the kitchen.
Touching her hungry belly, her eyes rolled, and she immediately raised her lip line and rushed towards the kitchen.
Different from last time, this time the kitchen board is full of delicious food, roast chicken, roasted duck, braised whole flavor, steamed fish, stewed meat, boiled assortment, everything you can think of, there is everything, there are a lot of pastries and fruits on the other side of the board, and there are a lot of delicious foods that cannot be named.
Li Bingru swallowed hard several times, and her empty stomach also made a "gurgling" sound at the right time, as if urging her not to give up these many delicious delicacies.
There were a large number of busy people standing in the kitchen, and a few recognized Li Bingru, and saluted: "Hello, madam!" ”
"You're okay too!"
Li Bingru raised her bright and bright smile like a signboard, glanced at them hurriedly, and her eyes locked on the food on the board.
A few bold handmaidens began to whisper.
"Which lady of the room is this, actually wearing a smoky silk?"
"Don't you know, she is the new young lady of Qingxiang Pavilion, the one who was locked up in the firewood room by the second young master on the second day of her wedding and went to climb the cave."
"It turned out to be her, didn't you say that the new young lady is the daughter of Mrs. Liu, why doesn't she look like a daughter at all?"
"It's not that this young lady has a delicate body like something, she has been sent to a mountain to grow up with a group of aunts since she was a child, and if it sounds good, it is self-cultivation, and if it is not good, she was abandoned by her family!"
"No wonder, you see how much she is worthy of our second young master, just because she has a father who is a captain, she climbed into this noble family, but she just took pity on our second young master and Miss Zixibiao......"
Purple tide?
Li Bingru, who was staring at the food and swallowing her saliva, seemed to hear this name again, this name that everyone around her had mentioned since she entered Tianlong Castle.
Helan mentioned it, Nangong Xuanming mentioned it, yesterday Nangong Yifeng was drunk and sprinkled, and he called the name "Xi'er" all night, and now even these kitchen women are starting to talk about it.
Who the hell is Zixi?
Is she Nangong Yifeng's lover?
If so, why didn't Nangong Yifeng marry her, but married Liu Xiangxue, who was unwilling to marry him?
If not, why did everyone around her mention this name and unconsciously compare her with the one named Zixi?
"Are you talking about Zixi?" Li Bingru couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Who is she?" ”
When a few handmaidens heard this, they were immediately silenced, a few people, you look at me, I look at you, they all bowed their heads, and no one dared to respond.
"Madam, are you hungry, let the slave make you some pastries to eat!"
A middle-aged woman squatting by the stove suddenly stood up with a smile, "The slave maid is the steward of the kitchen, and they all call me Chef Qin." It's not the slave who blows, the pastries made by the slave and the maid, I'm afraid that the world will never find a second one, even the old lady is full of praise, and every meal indicates to eat! ”
"Really?" Li Bingru's eyes were drawn to the food again, more precisely, on the pastry on the other side of the board, and she couldn't help but be hungry and drooling.
"Madame, pay it back, and know that the slave and maid are not lying." Chef Qin casually picked up a plate of pink pastries and sent it to Li Bingru.
The friendly smile on Chef Qin's face, as well as the alluring fragrance emanating from the lotus jade dew cake, made Li Bingru involuntarily reach out and put a piece of pink pastry into her mouth.
The lotus jade dew cake is fragrant and smooth in the mouth, and there is a faint sweetness and fragrance of lotus flowers. With lotus jade dew cake in his mouth, he squinted his eyes, as if entering the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond in June, surrounded by lotus flowers, and the intoxicating fragrance spread to the mouth and nose, and from the mouth and nose into the spleen and lungs.
What a treat!
"It's really delicious, I've never had such a delicious pastry!"
Li Bingru put her hands together on her chin, and her sparkling eyes stared at the lotus jade dew cake with a look of anticipation.
"Chef Qin, can you teach me how to make lotus jade dew cake?"
Shao Haihui must have never eaten such a delicious thing. When I learn it, I must do it to compensate him, and see if he dares to look down on me!
"This plate of lotus jade dew cake was originally intended for Young Master Sun, since the new lady likes it, she will give it to the new lady to eat, and the slave maid will make another one for Young Master Sun. If the new lady still wants to eat in the future, tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid will definitely make it for the new lady. ”
"Thank you, Chef Qin!" Li Bingru was pleasantly surprised to take the pastry, put down her nose and sniffed it very happily, "Chef Qin, you are so good, when I wash these two clothes, I will come over to learn to make lotus jade dew cake with you!" ”
Immediately there was a gasp in the kitchen.
"Husband, ma'am, this ...... Not good......"
Chef Qin's embarrassed mouth, no matter how harsh the second young master was to the new lady, but if she could wear the smoke and haze silk, it must not be simple. There has always been only the cooking of the subordinates for the master to eat, how can the master personally handle the kitchen himself? What if one day the master is unhappy......
She still wants to live well!
"Is my lotus jade dew cake ready?"
Before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first, and Nangong Xuanming's shouting suddenly came from far away from the door, and after a while, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
"It's Xuanming!"
Li Bingru hurriedly ran out of the door to take a look.
"Sister......
Nangong Xuanming saw Li Bingru, and his clear eyes suddenly lit up, but when he walked in front of her, his smile suddenly stiffened on his face, and his shining eyes gradually dimmed.
"Xuanming, why are you here too?"
Li Bingru didn't notice the change in Nangong Xuanming's eyes, she hurriedly put down the dirty clothes in her arms and the lotus jade dew cake in her hand, raised her broad water sleeves, danced around, and asked excitedly: "How is it, is it good-looking?" ”
"Hmm!" Nangong Xuanming reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, "Sister's clothes are so beautiful!" ”
"Really?" Li Bingru danced again, and the smile on Nangong Xuanming's face made her feel so unnatural, but the indescribable excitement made her have no time to take care of it.
"Xuanming, you don't know, I like this dress so much!"
"Really, it's good-looking! Like a pretty butterfly! ”
"How can anyone say that people are good-looking and say that she looks like a butterfly?"
Li Bingru smiled and put away her broad water sleeves, walked not far away, reached out and picked a bright red flower and put it on her face, "You should say that my sister is as beautiful as a flower!" ”
"No, my sister is more beautiful than flowers!"
"Xuanming is so smart!"
Li Bingru smiled and put the flowers on the lotus jade dew cake, picked up the plate and sent it to Nangong Xuanming.
"Xuanming is really good, my sister invites you to eat pastries."
"I'm afraid this was made for me by Chef Qin, right?" Nangong Xuanming's eyes showed a little smile.
"yes!" Li Bingru nodded seriously, "But, who made you wake up late." It's mine now. ”
"It's not like I'm getting up late! I'm going to do my homework with the old master. ”
"You're skipping class again?" Li Bingru pretended to be angry and took back the plate, "If you don't study hard, you won't have anything to eat!" ”
Chef Qin looked at Li Bingru in horror, this new lady is too ignorant of the overall situation, she actually dares to put up a fight with Young Master Sun, who doesn't know that in Tianlong Castle, except for the second young master, the last thing that can be provoked is the frightening Young Master Sun with a bright smile in front of her, but this new lady who doesn't know the overall situation is going to crash into the volcano.
But then again, the lotus jade dew cake in Madame's hand was given by her, and it was originally intended for Young Master Sun, she was afraid that a few maidservants would say things that should not be said just now, and she was also afraid that the new lady would be curious and make trouble for them, so she was in a hurry and gave the cake to Young Master Sun to the new young lady.
Who would have thought that Young Master Sun would suddenly appear in the kitchen, and just happened to bump into her giving the lotus jade dew cake to the new young lady.
Chef Qin's heart trembled, and she didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, if Young Master Sun blamed her, how could it be good?
