Chapter 177: Gossip

Li Yuejiao walked out of the door, stood under the porch, looked around the vast courtyard in front of her, and slowly let out a mouthful of resentment towards Xue Zhen.

Yun Tuan was originally arranged to drink tea in the kitchen on one side, while talking to the cook, suddenly saw her coming out through the window, hurriedly put down the half-drunk tea bowl, hurriedly came out and said:

"Miss, are you leaving now?"

Li Yuejiao turned her head and glanced at Du Day's room, and smiled at her:

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer, I'll stand here for a while, think about something, you go and sit down first."

"I'm with Miss." Yun Tuan laughed.

Li Yuejiao smiled, glanced at the kitchen, and said with a smile, "Go ahead, I can do it myself."

"Huh." Yun Tuan didn't insist anymore, went back to the kitchen again, and continued to drink tea and chat.

It attracted the envy of the cook, and said that Yuntuan was lucky, where had he seen such a kind master?

Yun Tuan held the teacup and said with a smile, "Aren't you from the General's Mansion? His Majesty is also very lenient."

The cook smiled: "The girl doesn't know, I just know a little cooking, help the cook make a living, have a little fame, do a hundred jobs, where can I touch the door of the general's mansion?" However, one of my neighbors was a servant in the yamen, and I found out that the general was looking for a cook for Master Du, so I came to try it and chose it."

"I see." Yun Tuan suddenly realized, "In this case, my aunt's cooking skills must be very good."

"I don't dare to say it's good, but I've helped cook with many rich and noble families in our city." The cook said proudly, and hurriedly brought her a very small bean paste bun, "Girl, try my craft, I know how to do these things."

Yun Tuan understood that this cook was recommending herself, took the bean bun with kindness, tasted it, and felt that it was unexpectedly delicious, the bean filling was delicate, the feeling of melting in the mouth, the skin was thin, and the sweetness was moderate.

My own lady loves sweetness, and she will definitely like it.

"My aunt is really good at crafting." Yun Tuan nodded approvingly, "Next time my lord's family wants to eat noodles, I will come and invite my aunt."

The cook's eyebrows and eyes suddenly filled with joy, and she smiled: "It's good if the girl likes it, ouch, I'll just say that the lady must be a kind person, and the girl can be like this." If it's like the girl Qi who became the princess's mother, ouch, what a big temper, the little girl next to her, tsk, maybe one day, even her life will be gone."

Yun Tuan raised his eyebrows lightly and asked rhetorically, "It turns out that my aunt also helped cook for the prince's family?"

The cook lady naturally didn't know the twists and turns of these dignitaries, saying that these were just to sell herself, and when she heard that Yun Tuan was interested, she hurriedly said:

"Yes, during the Chinese New Year before, there were a lot of banquets at the prince's house, and I went to help a few times, but they were all made for the princess to eat, no matter how good the things were, they always ate a bite and threw them away, which is really evil."

After she finished speaking, she realized that she shouldn't have said this, and she panicked a little and peeked at the clouds.

Yun Tuan just smiled and continued to eat bean buns, but he didn't hear her discussion, and asked her if she had any specialty dishes besides noodles.

The cook continued to recommend herself, babbling about what she did well, and which rich and noble family loved to eat what dim sum and soup she made.

Over there, Yuntuan and the cook were talking and laughing, and in this room, Li Yuejiao was still standing on the edge of the corridor, staring at a strange stone scene in the corner of the wall in a daze, thinking about some things.

Suddenly, the door behind her opened, and she thought it was Xue Zhen who came out, only to find that it was Lan Nu who came out with a small medicine jar.

Seeing Li Yuejiao standing outside, Lan Nu hurriedly stopped, squatted down and said:

"Madam, Sister Yuntuan is in the kitchen, slave to call her?"

"What I know, I asked her to rest," Li Yuejiao said with a smile, glancing at the medicine jar in her hand, and asked, "Cousin's medicine can't be boiled in this house?" It's strange that the smell of medicine in that room is so strong."

Lan Nu smiled and said, "Madame doesn't know, Master Du said to add some medicinal incense to the house, and the injury will heal faster."

When Li Yuejiao heard this, she also smiled: "This statement is interesting, but it is smoky, and he is not afraid of going out of the water?"

Lan Nu shook his head, "Yes

It's a silver charcoal given by the prince, and the slave is also watching carefully, and nothing will happen."

Li Yuejiao only thinks that this girl speaks softly, but she acts really neatly and neatly, and she likes her a lot:

"What a good girl, it's okay, go get busy."

Lan Nu answered, only walked to the bottom of the steps, raised his hand and beckoned the little girl who was sweeping the yard to come over with a dustpan, and poured all the medicine residue into the dustpan.

Li Yuejiao stood on the top of the steps, leaning against the pillars, and at a glance out of the corner of her eye, she happened to see the medicine residue poured out by the blue slave, and a trace of difference flashed in her eyes.

This dregs......

As soon as the doubts arose, Lan Nu had already poured the medicine residue, and asked another little girl on call to take away the medicine jar and wash it away.

When she turned around, Li Yuejiao was already standing sideways, still staring at the strange stone scene in the corner of the courtyard.

The strange stone should be the Taihu Lake stone, and there are grass vines entwined on the stone, but the vines seem to have not been rooted in the ground.

However, in her heart, there was only the dregs of medicine poured by the blue slave.

Lan Nu followed her gaze and asked with a smile:

"What are you looking at, Madame?"

Li Yuejiao's expression was as usual, and she pointed to the landscape and said:

"I saw that vine growing strangely, it was obviously an old vine, but it seemed to be unplanted, how could it live?"

Lan Nu pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and said:

"Madame still understands this? When the slave came here, there were only stones, but when Master Du got better a few days ago, and when he came out to bask in the sun, he felt that only one stone was too abrupt, so he asked the slave to move this vine from the mountain outside the city."

Li Yuejiao understood, nodded and said, "I see, Uncle Cousin is really an elegant person."

Lan Nu smiled: "The slave doesn't understand this, and he doesn't know how beautiful it is to climb the stone with such a vine, but Master Du said that his wife likes this, so he did it."

Li Yuejiao nodded and didn't speak again.

Lan Nu stood for a moment, saw that Li Yuejiao stopped talking, still with such a gentle and gentle smile, and after giving another salute, he turned around and went back to the house.

It wasn't until she entered the house that Li Yuejiao looked at the back of the little girl who was sprinkling and sweeping, her eyes flickering.

If she was not mistaken, the color of that medicine residue was really not right, why did it turn red when she looked at it?

While she was thinking, Xue Zhen finally came out, and Lan Nu followed behind him, opening the door and opening the curtain for him.

When Xue Zhen faced Li Yuejiao, he was still so cold and indifferent, and he didn't like to answer, and when he walked to be side by side with her, he said:

"Let's go."

Li Yuejiao looked at him like this, snorted coldly, ignored him, and said to the kitchen:

"Clouds, you're leaving."

Yun Tuan hurriedly said goodbye to the cook and hurried out.

Lamb sent them to the door, watched them get into the car, and then returned to the house.

Du Tian was still leaning on the bed, his face was even less pale, and when he saw her back, the warm smile on his face faded a lot.

He still touched the paper with the prescription on it with affection, and stayed for a moment before he asked Lan Nu:

"They're gone?"

"Yes, sir, the slave sent the prince and his wife to the car." Lan Nu said.

Du Day's smile was cold, and he asked lightly, "When you poured the medicine just now, were you talking to your niece and daughter-in-law?" What did she ask you?"

Lan Nu's face was full of innocence, and he replied, "No, Madame didn't even look at what the slave was doing, Madame just stood there and watched the scene, saying that the vine moved by the slave looked strange."

Oh? Is this just not realizing the problem?

Du Tian was a little relieved, his smile finally had a little sincerity, and he nodded:

"My niece and daughter-in-law really have an eye for those things, and it would be good if I could talk to her about these little things in the future."

Oh, a woman who is smart on the surface can only entertain for a while.

It's not like his Ah Qiao.

Lan Nu still stood by the bed with a look of ignorance, the smile on his lips unchanged, respectful and humble.

"In the evening,

You go and tell Shopkeeper Feng about Tiangongqiao," Du Tian suddenly opened his mouth and instructed her, "I said that the general's wife will ask him for the "Xuangong Collection" in a while, not because I took advantage of the situation to oppress people, but because I am injured now, I have to drag her away, and ask him not to target his wife if he is angry."

"Yes, the slave first served the master and rested, and then went." Lan Nu responded, looking more well-behaved.

*

Li Yuejiao's sheep cart walked along the street, not slow or in a hurry.

Li Yuejiao sat on the side of the car, the curtain rolled up, staring at Xue Zhen's back, and did not speak.

Xue Zhen sat in front of the car, and while catching the car, he couldn't help but look back at her, and when he bumped into Li Yuejiao's gaze, he quickly moved away.

At first, Li Yuejiao made a wooden face as if she couldn't see it, but after looking at each other more times, Li Yuejiao gradually couldn't help it, and the corners of her mouth hung an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

At this point, Xue Zhen couldn't help it, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

In the end, both of them couldn't help it, and they laughed out loud.

Yun Tuan didn't know what was wrong with them, and he was still a little afraid, and he didn't know how to persuade them, but now when he saw them like this, he immediately rolled his eyes, sat behind Li Yuejiao, and didn't care about them.

That's it, feel free, I can't persuade you, and I can't persuade you.

If it goes on like this, will it be reconciled? I'm afraid I'm going to get married again.

"Is the girl angry?" Xue Zhen asked knowingly.

Li Yuejiao sneered: "I'm not angry, I just think that Shizi really loves acting, and he plays well."

Xue Zhen turned his head and glanced at her again, making an innocent expression: "Isn't this the girl's purpose? I'm doing what the girl wants, am I going to be wrong?"

Li Yuejiao was choked up by his question, so she had to say:

"No, the son of the world is smart by nature, where can he be wrong?"

Xue Zhen only laughed at her words when she was praising herself, and then said, "But why did the girl ask for that book for him personally? If you don't get there, the girl will get into trouble."

Li Yuejiao smiled: "It's okay, it's just an excuse to deal with Shopkeeper Feng."

Xue Zhen was surprised: "Why?"

"It's not good, it's just the prince," Li Yuejiao said, "I think if these are all behind his back, then his excuse for coming to Anhua County must not be a random idea, so why don't I try it, maybe there will be an accident?"

When Xue Zhen heard this, he looked back at her for a while, with scrutiny in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Li Yuejiao became worried, and hurriedly said, "Shizi, watch the road, be careful."

Xue Zhen smiled, and this side looked at the road ahead again, and didn't say anything more. new

Li Yuejiao looked at him like this, thinking that he didn't agree with his thoughts, so she asked, "Does the prince think it's inappropriate?"

After a long time, Xue Zhen shook his head and said with emotion:

"I used to see too many wrong girls."
