Chapter 118: Out of the House
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
Bai Zhi pursed her lips and said helplessly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"If you don't do anything, it's just chatting with you." Huansha smiled, "By the way, I told you that I and you are grasshoppers tied to a rope, if Mama Zheng knew that you also overheard her at that time, do you think she would let you go?" ”
Bai Zhi naturally thought of this, so she was even more puzzled by Huansha's intention this time, but fortunately, Huansha did not sell it, took out a purse from her arms, and handed it to her, "You just need to help me take this thing to the shopkeeper of the welcome building outside the city, and I promised not to tell Mama Zheng about it." ”
Bai Zhi wanted to refuse her, but she was afraid that she would really tell Mama Zheng about it, and I was afraid that she would cause trouble at that time.
"Okay, I'll find a way to get it for you." Bai Zhi nodded.
After coming out of Bai Zhi's house, Huansha looked around, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then left with a smile.
After she walked away, the people hiding in the shadows left in a hurry, all the way to Mama Zheng's house.
After listening to the advice of her subordinates, Mama Zheng's face was very ugly, she was angry, this Huansha was too cunning, she originally thought that since Huansha had accomplices, she would naturally discuss countermeasures with her accomplices at this time, so she sent someone to follow her closely, preparing to find out the accomplices and catch them all.
I didn't expect her to be so smart, she did go to see people today, but the number of people is inevitably more, there are no less than a dozen people who have seen before and after, these people are distributed in various courtyards, some sweepers, there are maids in each courtyard, there are kitchens, there are more people, she can't start, she can't solve more than a dozen people, and there are a few of these people who are not small, and Mama Zheng can't move.
Bai Zhi stayed in the kitchen to help after staying in the courtyard, and it happened that a little maid in the kitchen had a cold and died a while ago, and the kitchen steward was short of manpower, so she went over to replace the little maid.
The kitchen cooks the meals of the entire courtyard, and it is also the best place to start, so whether it is the three aunts or Mama Zheng, it is really not easy for Bai Zhi to be sandwiched between these people, fortunately, there is a little girl who burns the fire and she is not bad, the two of them can sometimes talk a few words when they are free, and it is from the mouth of the little girl that she knows a lot of things about the other courtyard.
Bai Zhi was very sad, although the Wei family courtyard was only a separate courtyard, but it did not allow people to enter and leave it at will, and if she wanted to go out, she had to go out with Mama Zheng's hand, and the Huansha over there asked her to pass things out today, so she was a little anxious.
"What's wrong with you today, I see that you have been absent-minded, is there something on your mind?" The fire girl whispered as she leaned over to her.
"Nothing." Bai Zhi smiled at her, and asked casually while continuing to pick vegetables, "Are all the dishes in our kitchen delivered fresh every day?" ”
"That's nature, and the freshest fruits and vegetables are used every day." Vial said.
"When was the food delivered, did our people go out to buy it or did someone bring it in?" Bai Zhi pulled a stool and handed it to the vial, she sat down, picked up a vegetable and began to pick it up.
"There is a Zhuangzi outside, and melons and vegetables are planted inside, and ordinary vegetables come out of the Zhuangzi, but there are also some that need to be purchased outside."
Bai Zhi nodded, "Then do you know who is responsible for the purchase?" How often do you leave the house? ”
The vial looked at her a little strangely, "Why did you inquire about this today?" ”
Bai Zhi nodded, with a little sadness on her face, "I still have a distant relative in the city, I want to look for it, and I don't know if they still live here." ”
"I see." After Xiao Bottle'er finished speaking, she leaned over mysteriously, "I know that after noon, Sister-in-law You will go out to buy ingredients for the next few days, and she will bring Shan Xing with her if nothing else." ”
Bai Zhi nodded and said something else to divert the topic, and the kitchen manager who spoke also saw the vial and scolded her a few words, she stuck out her tongue and quickly ran to the fire.
Shan Xing is Aunt Zhao's person, and Sister-in-law You is Aunt Liu's person, the two masters are not in harmony, and the people are naturally not much better.
Bai Zhi pondered that if Shanxing couldn't go out, then she could naturally take the opportunity to go out with Sister-in-law You.
But the question is what she has to do to stop Yama Xing.
Everyone in the kitchen was busy doing things, flawlessly took care of her side, put the vegetables picked in her hands into the basket, cleaned them with water, and was about to send them back to the kitchen for later use, when she saw a white herb piled up in the corner of the wall out of the corner of her eye, and was stunned for a moment.
At noon, after the owners of each room had eaten their meals, the kitchen was also idle, and the maids and ladies all found a place to hide and be lazy.
Shan Xing was busy for a long time and only felt that her neck was sore, and she just wanted to go out to breathe when she saw a few pieces of hazelnut cake on the table, as if it had just come out of the pot, and the white pastry exuded a faint fragrance. She had always loved this pastry, and there was no one in the kitchen, and the hazelnut cake on the table seemed to tempt her, and she looked around, and then reached for it and stuffed it into her sleeve.
When she returned to the room, she took out the hazelnut cake and ate it, she was a little sleepy while eating, she didn't know what was wrong with her, and after the last hazelnut cake was swallowed, she slowly fell down.
And after she fell asleep, there was a very soft knock at the door, three times, and three more after a while, and soon the door was pushed open, and a woman walked in, and after making sure that Shan Xing had indeed fainted, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Bai Zhi didn't know where she knew it, but she was sure that the fruit of white herbs and hazelnuts could make people unconscious for a short time, she looked down and thought about it, as if someone had told her about this a long time ago, but she was completely impressed when she thought about it.
White vanilla is a good thing to repel mosquitoes in summer, and ordinary people will also prepare a few plants for use, which is really not a rare thing.
White vanilla blooms in summer, the floral fragrance is very light, harmless to people, but the aroma is the nemesis of mosquitoes.
But few people know that white vanilla is not only used to repel mosquitoes, but also begins to bear a small fruit after the white vanilla flowers in winter, which tastes slightly bitter and has no use, so no one will pay attention. But if this little fruit is mixed with hazelnuts, it will form a natural drug, which can make people sleep for at least three hours, and after waking up, it will not feel strange, just like sleeping normally.
In the kitchen, Sister-in-law You asked people to look for Shan Xing everywhere, and the two were already incompatible, so Shan Xing disappeared, delaying the time to leave the house, and Sister-in-law You was a little impatient.
"How's it going, did you find it?"
The little maid in the kitchen shook her head in fear, "I didn't find it." ”
Sister-in-law You was very angry, and when she was about to get angry, another little girl ran in from outside, "Found it, found it." ”
The little maid gasped and said, "Sister Shan Xing fell asleep in the room. ”
Sister-in-law You was immediately furious when she heard this, this mountain apricot usually likes to be lazy, but now she is getting bolder and bolder.
"Won't you wake her up when she's asleep, what are you doing here?" Sister-in-law You said angrily to the little maid.
"The slave screamed, but, but ......"
"But what, say!" Sister-in-law You frowned and looked very impatient.
"Sister Shan Xing said that she is very sleepy now and is not going." The little girl finished talking tremblingly, and looked down at the ground again.
Sister-in-law You took a deep breath and sneered, "What a mountain apricot, I really regard myself as my master." ”
When I went out to buy before, Shan Xing was too tired on the left and too tired on the right, which made Sister-in-law You very annoyed, and when I heard that she was asleep and refused to come over, I felt that Shan Xing was intentional at all.
Shan Xing didn't go out temporarily, but she couldn't delay when she went out to buy, Sister-in-law You looked around the people in the kitchen, and finally looked at Bai Zhi on the side, and stretched out her hand to her, "You, go out with me." ”
Everyone in the kitchen has work to do, and she buys a lot of oil and water, she doesn't want to cheapen others for nothing, Bai Zhi is different, she just came and didn't understand anything, and she looks good and talks on weekdays.
Hearing this, Bai Zhi wiped the water on her hands and stood up with some embarrassment and looked at the half-picked vegetables, "But, but I still have work to do." ”
Sister-in-law You snorted and pointed to the little maid next to her, "You go and help her pick vegetables." ”
Hearing this, Bai Zhi didn't say anything. obediently followed Sister-in-law You out of the door.
When passing by the little maid next to her, Bai Zhi quietly raised her head and smiled at the little maid, and the little maid also smiled back.
Xiao Bottle'er was bullied by Shan Xing in the kitchen fire, she didn't say anything in her mouth, she naturally hated it in her heart, Bai Zhi used her mind to let her help say a few words in front of Sister-in-law You, so Sister-in-law You will definitely take the opportunity to find trouble with Shan Xing in the future, which can be regarded as giving Xiao Bottle'er a vent.
When you go out to buy, you naturally want to take the car, Bai Zhi sits honestly in the car, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart, not asking much and not looking at it, it looks very wooden, Sister-in-law You looked at her several times and was quite satisfied, she liked this quiet little girl, much better than the kind of apricot who would only work against her.
Shan Xing is Aunt Zhao's person, and she has a lot of work with Sister-in-law You on weekdays, especially in this matter of purchasing, with Shan Xing present, Sister-in-law You can't get oil and water many times, so what she hates is itchy teeth.
This time Shan Xing didn't come out, but followed a stupid Bai Zhi, Sister-in-law You was happy when she thought about it, so she said a lot softer to Bai Zhi, "You are not very old and you love to play, shopping is very boring, you rarely come out, I will put you on the lively street in a while, you can go around by yourself and buy some favorite gadgets." At three o'clock in the hour, I will come back to pick you up. ”
Bai Zhi was happy in her heart, but her face was very embarrassed, "This, this ......"
"Don't be afraid, just have fun, and I'll take care of the rest." Sister-in-law You made a decision directly with a wave of her hand.
In the end, Bai Zhi was put down at the entrance of the street, she stood on the side of the street and looked at the lively street scene around her, and always felt that she had seen a familiar scene somewhere.
A carriage galloped from another road, and the speed was too fast for Bai Zhi to react, seeing that the horse raised its two hooves and was about to step over her.
