Chapter 52: I'm Going Back to Beijing
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
Bai Susu went to the main courtyard to set up rules for a few days, and was dismissed by Luo Shi for a reason that was not too distracted. The main reason is that Luo Zhi thought that Aunt Bai was not a threat, so he didn't bother to deal with her.
At the end of April, Lu Zhiyuan's term of office officially expired, and the new appointment order had not yet come down, but the Lu family had a happy event.
The imperial court came with a commendation order, mainly to commend Lu Zhiyuan for handling things in a timely manner during the earthquake, so that he did not cause a big mess.
With this commendation order, Lu Zhiyuan has been in a good mood recently, this commendation order came very timely, and he had written a letter back to Beijing earlier, so that he could do some activities at home.
Bai Susu is also very happy, nothing is different in this life, because of his meritorious work in disaster relief, which really makes Lu Zhiyuan stand out in the performance assessment column.
In the last life, there was a large-scale riot after the earthquake, and the court was furious, and attributed this responsibility to the improper handling of Lord Lu, and directly arrested him.
Because of the delay of several years, the Lu clan in the capital has long lost the right to speak, and the deposition of the crown prince made him sink to the bottom all of a sudden.
Luo has also been very busy recently, Lord Lu's dispatch is calculated that it will take less than a month to come down, and the new Taishou in Anyang County has already arrived with her family, so she began to pack her things and prepare to return to Beijing during this time.
Thinking of being able to return to the capital, the people in the mansion are happy and worried, and the people of the Lu Mansion, except for a few who have to be used, everyone else has to be released. These people also began to worry about their future livelihoods, and some of them were active, so they tried their best to go to the capital to seek a future.
It is naturally best to stay by Luo's side and remember a name, but after all, there are still a few people who can remember their names, and there are only two masters in the backyard, and Bai Susu's side is naturally targeted.
"What's the problem with this one?" Since Roche relaxed the policy for her, Bai Susu's food has increased significantly recently. But no matter how much she improves, there will be no more than a dozen dishes on a table, and besides, she can't eat so much by herself.
"It's Chef Zhang, and this meal is Chef Zhang's filial piety." Ming Xiang replied with a smile, this table is not from the public bank in the house, so Chef Zhang can only pay out of his own pocket, it seems that he has really invested a lot of money in order to follow Shangjing this time.
Bai Susu was deeply moved, "Chef Zhang is really a good person. ”
Since someone had a treat, she happily ate a meal, and after she was full, she touched her stomach and said, "Chef Zhang has something to ask me, right?" ”
Mingxiang was stunned, when did their aunt become so smart.
She is a first-class lady next to Bai Susu, even if Chef Zhang moves around, she will naturally look for her, she will not be able to deliver this table of dishes to Bai Susu, since it is delivered, she promised to help say a few words.
Mingxiang picked the main one and said to Bai Susu, Chef Zhang is fifty years old this year, has no children and no daughters, three years ago Lu Zhiyuan went to Anyang to do the Taishou when he entered the house, the Lu family's kitchen oil and water is relatively sufficient, plus the population is simple, Chef Zhang has a good life this day, he is a lonely person, nothing to worry about, naturally he doesn't want to leave, he wants to go to the capital with him.
Chef Zhang is also a brain, there are too many people walking around Luo's side, and he has a general relationship with the big girls in Luo's yard, and he may not be able to achieve his wish if he goes, compared to Aunt Bai's side, it is much easier.
Aunt Bai is greedy, often ordering in the kitchen, he is more familiar with the people in Hefeng Courtyard, thinking that acquaintances are easy to do when they meet, so he made a lot of effort to spend money and buy a table of banquets, he is a cook, and he has been able to find out the taste of Bai Susu for more than a year, so the dishes on the banquet are all picked up and made by her liking.
After listening to Mingxiang's words, Bai Susu pondered for a while before saying, "He wants to go to the capital with him, and he can't say anything to me." ”
If another master said this, Mingxiang would naturally think about it, whether the master was unhappy or didn't want to help him. But after getting along for so long, Mingxiang can be regarded as touching Aunt Bai's temperament, and she really doesn't understand what she says.
"Although you don't care about this, you can meet the second master." Ming Xiang explained, "Presumably Chef Zhang wants you to mention it to the second master." ”
Mingxiang helped with this, and naturally also received the money, which is not a big deal for her, just to say a few good words, and after becoming a favor, Chef Zhang will remember her as a favor, and if it doesn't work, she won't lose anything.
Bai Susu thought about it, and after eating other people's short mouths, he was about to mention it to Lu Zhiyuan, "Then when I see the second master mention it, don't tell Chef Zhang yet, lest it make him happy in vain." ”
Mingxiang knew that this was a promise when she heard her say this, and thought that according to the degree of favor that the second master had for Aunt Bai, not to mention taking away a chef Zhang, it would be just a sentence to take away the entire back kitchen.
In the evening, Lu Zhiyuan came to dinner, and Bai Susu told him about it.
When she talked to Lu Zhiyuan, she always talked and thought, she didn't play around the bush, and she couldn't play tricks on such a trivial matter.
"Second master, Chef Zhang from the kitchen asked me to ask, can we take him with us when we go back to Beijing."
Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her, knowing that this was Chef Zhang's way of wanting to go through her door, and asked with a smile, "Do you like the dishes he makes?" ”
Bai Susu thought about it, she actually liked Chef Zhang's cooking taste, so she nodded honestly, "It's okay." ”
Lu Zhiyuan pondered for a while, after returning to Beijing this time, it was no surprise that he would have to stay in Beijing in the future, in the capital Lu Clan's mansion, there are many complicated people, and Aunt Bai is stupid, she should also hold a few of her own hands to do it, so he thought about it and said, "You can choose to bring five people in the house, and when the time comes, you can choose to tell Grandma Zhuang." ”
Bai Susu nodded when he heard him say this, "I listen to the second master." ”
Lu Zhiyuan smiled, it is estimated that Aunt Bai didn't know that she had good intentions, shook her head and said, "You can bring someone, but you also have to think about whether this person can be used in the future, don't bring the mess, and there is no place to spend it with a lot of silver at home." ”
Bai Susu only nodded stunnedly, "Then how should I bring it?" ”
Lu Zhiyuan sighed, wanting to tell her how to use people, but seeing that she was still ignorant, he finally shook his head, "That's it, you don't understand, you just like that, you can take whoever you like." "The rest is that he took the time to find Mama Zhuang, and then discussed a few people to hang in her name.
Chef Zhang got Mingxiang's reply, and thanked her with a thousand thanks, but it was inconvenient to go to the backyard because of the man's identity, so she only asked Mingxiang to help her convey her gratitude.
Here, Chef Zhang happily packed up his things in Beijing, and someone over there informed Luo of the matter, she was the main mother, and everything in the house was naturally clear.
"It's not a big deal to bring a few, and leave her alone." When Luo heard that Aunt Bai was going to bring a cook to Beijing, he felt that it was no big deal, everyone knew that Aunt Bai was greedy, and she must have thought about her cooking skills, so she thought about taking it away.
Mama Tu was a little worried, "But Aunt Bai didn't tell you about this, the second master who was directly looking for me remembered that it was in the name of Mama Zhuang in the front yard." ”
Luo is in charge of the backyard, Zhuang Mama is in charge of the front yard, and has always had a clear division of labor, Zhuang Mama is not an annoying person, although she has a deep relationship with Lu Zhiyuan's master and servant, but she will never rely on her qualifications to go to the backyard to point fingers, which is why Luo is afraid of her on the one hand and has nothing to do on the other.
"Hmph, it must be that young lady blowing the pillow wind." Luo's face sank, she also found a chance to meet Qingniang a few times during this time, she wanted to give her a dismount, but she didn't expect to be hit back by a few soft nails that didn't hurt or itch, because Lu Zhiyuan was there, she didn't dare to do too much, so she held her breath in her heart.
"Do we want to find a way to deal with it before we go back to Beijing?" Mama Tu asked in a low voice.
Luo Shi shook his head, his eyes deepened a lot, "Keep her, when I get to the capital mansion, I will definitely make a fuss about my childlessness, and there are a few more people in the backyard, so I can block their mouths, and the province thinks that I am an intolerable person." ”
"That's just as well." Mama Tu was very worried when she mentioned this matter, she was sent to Anyang this time with a mission, Luo and Lu Zhiyuan have been married for five years, and there is no movement in their stomachs.
mentioned the heir Luo Shi's expression also darkened, it was rumored outside that she could not have children, where did anyone know her suffering, she was still a girl.
There are some things that she can't think about at all, and when she thinks about it, she feels a headache, but fortunately there are many things now, and she doesn't have time to think about it. After staying in Anyang for a few years, there are a lot of Zhuang shops, which will be far away in the future, and she is not ready to take care of many Zhuang shops, and she is also thinking about changing them to silver with convenience during this time.
Lu Zhiyuan is about to return to Beijing at the end of his term, and the people in the house are all active, and those who want to leave and stay are all thinking about the way forward, which naturally includes a girl who sweeps the floor in the front yard, Fluttershy.
She has been staying in the house for a few months in the blink of an eye, and she is quite tired and emaciated during this time, and she can't be under Mama Zhuang's nose all day long, and she is arranged to work one after another.
Fluttershy came to the mansion for the position of the little favorite concubine, but now she has been doing menial work for months, so she is naturally reluctant. When he heard the news that Lord Lu was going back to Beijing, he felt that his opportunity had come, gritted his teeth, took out all the money he had saved in the past few months, and quietly looked for Mama Tu beside Luo and stuffed it to her.
"What are you doing here?" Although Mama Tu expected her to have a good idea, this girl didn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp, and she didn't want to help in her heart.
She was tired all day during the day, and at night she felt even tired, and as soon as she moved her neck, Fluttershy saw it and said with a smile, "Mama is tired from a day's work, so it is better for the slave to press your shoulder and relax." ”
