It was already noon, and the crowd at the door had not dispersed, and Ling Xiang's carriage had already stopped at the door.

"What's going on?" As soon as Ling Xiang got out of the carriage, he saw a group of people surrounding the Xiangfu without water.

"Xiangye, today is the young lady who recruits housekeepers again, and these people are all here to apply. Also, King Qi is also here. Xiao Liuzi reported in a low voice.

"Oh, I remembered, today Yi'er said that she was going to openly recruit housekeepers, did you recruit them?" Ling Xiang continued to ask.

"This ...... I don't know about this little one, so I asked the eldest lady. ”

"Okay, let them all disperse, what kind of system is it to block the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion like this." Ling Xiang said with a slight displeasure.

"The old minister sees the prince." Ling Xiang walked into the living room, and saw King Qi sitting there drinking tea, and hurriedly saluted.

"Ling Xiang doesn't have to be polite, you are the master, this king is a guest, please don't get tired of this king always coming." King Qi said with a smile.

Ling Xiang thought to himself, you are the prince, do you dare not let you come if you want to come? But I didn't dare to say it, so I could only scold in my heart. The old and spicy Ling of the officialdom is naturally handy with these things, and immediately put on a smile and said: "It is the honor of the Prime Minister's Mansion that the prince can come, and it is too late for the old minister to invite, how can he dislike the prince, and I hope that the prince will often come to the mansion to drink tea." ”

While the two were talking, Mengchun and Sixia had already brought the food to the table, followed by Panqiu and Zuidong, and finally saw their daughter's figure, "Daddy is back, my daughter has seen Daddy." Ling Ruoyi hurriedly put down the dishes in his hand and saluted towards Ling Xiang.

"No courtesy, why did Yi'er go to the kitchen again today, and what novel dishes did she make?" Ling Xiang looked at the dishes served, fragrant, although they looked simple, they made people very appetizing.

"Daddy, this dish is borscht, this is crispy pork ribs, dry fried hairtail ......" Ling Ruohui introduced the names of the dishes one by one.

King Qi watched his appetite increase greatly, and even Uncle Zhong on the side swallowed his saliva. Last time, I heard that his prince ate the food cooked by Miss Ling and could eat twice as much as usual.

"Daddy's dishes are ready, let's eat." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.

"Okay, Uncle Zhong also sit down, Miss Ling's cooking skills are not ordinary, you will know it after eating." King Qi smiled mysteriously at Uncle Zhong.

The banquet was very quiet, everyone ate the food in their own bowls, and only the sound of the food chewing.

"Why haven't you seen Mama Qian recently?" King Qi broke the awkward atmosphere and said.

"Oh, my grandmother went to the Pu'an Temple outside the city to make incense, and the grandmother next to me was sick again, so I asked Grandma Qian to accompany my grandmother, and I will be back in a few days." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.

"Oh, that's right." King Qi whispered, and instantly fell into silence again.

After the meal, Ling Xiang paced towards the study, Ling Ruoxuan looked at the time, looked at King Qi and said, "Lord Wang, I wonder if you can take me to meet the housekeeper Chen Feng now?" ”

"Okay, let's go." King Qi said with a smile.

The three of them came to Chen's house together, and when Dangdang, there were a few knocks on the door, "Who is it?" A heavy male voice came from inside.

"Uncle Chen, it's this king, and this king is here to bother you again." King Qi said lightly.

With a creak, the door opened, and Ling Ruoxi's eyes were greeted by a middle-aged man, a carved silk robe with dark patterns of crow blue and dark flowers, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, "Lord Wang, who is this girl?" The man was the first to speak.

"Oh, this is the eldest lady of Ling Xiangfu, Ling Ruoxi." King Qi said lightly.

"It turned out to be Miss Ling, it's really unwelcome, please come in." The middle-aged man greeted and led everyone into the house.

After entering the house and sitting down, several people sat down, Chen Feng looked at Ling Ruoxuan coldly and said, "What is the reason why Miss Ling deigned to come to the cold house." ”

Ling Ruoyi unfurled a kind smile and said, "Ruohui heard that Uncle Chen is a decent and thoughtful person. Therefore, Ruo Yi wants to invite you to come to Ling Mansion as a housekeeper. ”

Chen Feng snorted disdainfully and then said: "Ling Mansion is a high-ranking family, Ling Xiang is the first product of the dynasty, and the son is the champion of today's science and martial arts, and he is currently the deputy commander of the palace, which can be said to have an unlimited future, with the prestige of Ling Mansion, are you afraid that there will be no housekeeper?" Miss Ling is too uplifting and old. ”

Chen Feng pretended to bow his head and drink tea, glanced at Ling Ruoyi, and decided that the woman would be very angry and threw his sleeves away, but the woman still had a sincere smile and slowly said: "Uncle Chen, you are too modest, how can the Anguo Mansion be comparable to the Ling Mansion, if it weren't for the Anguo Mansion family who died on the battlefield, there would be no you and me meeting today." ”

"I am old and old, and I used to be very procrastinating in the Anguo Mansion, so Miss Ling should please go back." Chen Feng unceremoniously ordered the expulsion of customers.

Ling Ruoyi was helpless, pouting and looking at King Qi, King Qi also had a helpless expression, and the three of them could only leave indifferently.

"Miss Ling, this old man Chen is so stinky and hard, don't worry about it." Uncle Zhong comforted. This woman is the sweetheart of his master, and her smile is connected to his master's heart.

"Uncle Zhong, does Uncle Chen have anything he likes?" Ling Ruoyi asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Uncle Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Chen Feng to ridicule this woman so much, but she was worried about what the old man liked, and then said: "Chen Feng likes to eat Jade Zhai's Jade Hibiscus Cake." ”

"Oh? That's my rudeness, I didn't bring a gift to visit, it's mine. Lord, I'll go and invite Uncle Chen myself tomorrow, so I won't bother the prince. ”

"You go by yourself? I'm afraid that old man Chen won't open the door for you. ”

"Yes, don't worry, prince." Seeing that Ling Ruoyi was so confident, King Qi couldn't say anything, and was speechless all the way, until he saw Ling Ruoyi at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion before turning around and leaving.

"Mu'er, this is to take the silver to Jade Zhai and buy a copy of their Jade Hibiscus Cake." Ling Ruoxuan said that, and handed the silver taels in the purse to Mu'er.

Mu Er went out in response, two teas passed, Mu Er came back with pastries and said, "Miss, the business of this Jade Zhai is really good, there are a lot of people in line, and there are only two pieces left here when I get to the slave." Mu Er held two pieces of jade hibiscus cake and said with a slight grievance.

"It's okay, two pieces are enough."

"Mu'er takes the pastries and follows me to the kitchen." Ling Ruohui just said a few simple words, and before Mu'er came back to her senses, Ling Ruoxuan's figure had already walked out of the small courtyard of Fengyin Pavilion.

Mu'er trotted after him, put the jade hibiscus cake on the plate, brought it to Ling Ruohui and said, "Miss, if you want to eat pastries, Mu'er will bring them to you, why do you still come to the kitchen." ”

"Mu'er, I'm going to make this jade hibiscus cake." Ling Ruoyi's late sleeve said lightly.

"Miss, how do you like cooking, this is all done by subordinates, you are a noble ......" Before Mu'er finished speaking, Ling Ruoyi had already stuffed half a piece of jade hibiscus cake into Mu'er's mouth. I also savored the taste of the other half.

Mu Er saw that her young lady was busy working alone and mixing noodles and eggs, so she was so busy that she just couldn't intervene.

An hour later, Ling Ruohui put a plate of fragrant pastries in front of Mu'er, Mu'er looked at the pastries exactly the same as the ones she bought, she couldn't help smacking her lips, and tentatively looked at Ling Ruoyi's expression and said, "Miss, this pastry?" ”

"Well, you can taste the difference from the Jade Zhai. Be sure to taste it carefully and don't lie. Come and taste it, too. Ling Ruoyi beckoned all the kitchen handymen to taste the pastries she made, with a slight hint of showmanship.

"Well, it's delicious, I didn't expect the eldest lady to have such craftsmanship." A fat cook said.

"Yes, when Madame was alive, she would often make some pastries to eat, and it seems that Miss has done her best." The other fat cook chimed in.

Ling Ruoxuan rolled her eyes and thought, I can make pastries because my aunt and grandmother eat a lot more delicious, I am a god of food-level character, do you treat me as a second senior brother, as long as I can eat it, I will fill it in my mouth.

"Miss, what you make is even better than Jade Zhai's." Mu'er said while eating.

Ling Ruoyi herself also picked up a piece and tasted it carefully, it tasted really good, and she really lived up to the ability that God had given her to make it after eating.

The next day, Ling Ruohui wrapped the jade hibiscus cake early in the morning and came to the door of Chen Feng's house again, Chen Feng saw that it was Ling Ruohui, and his heart was displeased, "Miss Ling, the old man said, the old man is not competent, so please ask another master." When he had finished speaking, he had to close the door. Ling Ruohui stopped him, spread out his smile and said, "Uncle Chen, Ruohui heard that you like to eat jade hibiscus cake, so I made some of it, and I just gave it to you to taste today." After speaking, he handed the jade hibiscus cake to Chen Feng, saluted, and turned to leave.

Chen Feng was stunned, she didn't come to invite herself, but just to give jade hibiscus cake? Chen Feng returned to the room, poured a cup of tea, opened the pastry, and nodded incessantly, which was better than Jade Zhai's, with a touch of relief on his mouth.

This was the case on the second and third days, and in the early morning of the fourth day, no one came until the evening, which made Chen Feng hungry and kept pacing back and forth in the room.

Early in the morning, Chen Feng finally couldn't help it, and went directly to the Ling Mansion, and the little sixth son at the door saw Chen Feng and said, "Are you here to apply for a housekeeper?" ”

"No, the old man is here to get the pastry." Chen Feng said disdainfully.

"Oh, you must be Mr. Chen, my young lady said, if you are here to be a housekeeper, then what kind of pastries, you can eat at will, if you are just a guest who comes to eat pastries, the house has been busy recently, and there is no time to make it for you to eat, please go to Jade Zhai to buy, and all expenses are responsible for Ling's house."

"The old man wants to see Ling Ruoxi." Chen Feng said a little angrily. The people around him whispered, "Who is this old man, how can he call the daughter of the prime minister's house by her name, and ask someone to make him pastries to eat, he thinks he is the emperor." Chen Feng also heard the whispers of those people, snorted coldly with disdain, and said, "Please report back, just say that Chen asked to see Miss Ling." ”

"Okay, old man, you come with me." Xiao Liuzi said with a smile.

Chen Feng followed Xiao Liuzi to the gate of the Fengyin Pavilion, Ling Ruohui slowly got up and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Chen has figured it out, is he willing to help Ruoyi?" ”

Chen Feng took a deep breath, then bowed with a smile and said, "Chen Feng has seen the eldest lady. ”

"Uncle Chen, the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion will depend on you in the future." Then he turned to Xiao Liuzi and said, "Send someone to remove the recruitment notice at the door." ”

"Yes." Xiao Liuzi answered.

Soon I heard King Qi's laughter, "Hahaha, Uncle Chen, you finally agreed." ”

"I've seen the prince." Chen Feng smiled and bowed.

"Excuse me." King Qi raised his right hand, and his gestures showed the domineering spirit of the king.

"I've seen the prince." Ling Ruoyi also saluted elegantly.

"You're welcome." King Qi raised his hand to help Ling Ruoyi and said.

Ling Ruoyi invited everyone into the small courtyard of Fengyin Pavilion, sat down to taste tea and eat dim sum, King Qi picked up the dim sum and asked curiously, "I don't know how Uncle Chen changed his mind?" ”

"Let the prince and the eldest lady laugh, the old lady is very greedy, the dim sum made by the eldest lady is very palatable, and it was sent for a few days, and then suddenly it was not sent, the old decay is a glutton, don't you come to be a housekeeper to change the dim sum and eat." Chen Feng also said with a smile.

"Oh? Uncle Chen, can you change your mind for a piece of pastry? "King Qi said.

"Forehead......" Chen Feng thought for a moment, hahaha, and said with a smile: "The old man has fallen into the role of the eldest lady, and he wants to catch it." ”

"If you have this little trick, how can Uncle Chen not see it, it must be that Uncle Chen has already made up his mind to help Yi'er, and he just wants to test Yi'er's sincerity."

Everyone was immersed in laughter......
