Chapter 338: Keeping the Word (2nd Update)
The person seconded from the princess's mansion is indeed as the housekeeper said, doing things quickly and neatly, and having lunch at two tables is not a problem. It was noon, and the meal was started on time.
Half an hour before the meal, Su Xing let the students in Jiangzhou play by themselves, he went to the kitchen, and then rolled up his sleeves under the attention of everyone in the kitchen.
The cooks sent by the princess's mansion were stunned, and said cautiously: "Master Su, what do you want to cook, just leave it to the slaves and maids." ”
Su Xing shook his head, "I'll come by myself." ”
He didn't explain much, and under the eyes of the cooks, he made four dishes.
When he was done, he said to one of them, "Send these dishes to my sister's courtyard, and the county lord and my sister should have enough to eat." ”
One of the commanded people nodded stunned.
Then Su Xing went out of the kitchen, returned to his yard, took a quick bath, changed his clothes, and went to the front hall.
When the four dishes were sent to Su Rong's courtyard, Su Rong and Duanhua had woken up, Su Rong drank the medicine, and slept again, the whole person's appearance was much better than when Duanhua came, the two got out of bed together, sat in the small hall and waited for someone to bring the food.
When the maidservant carried the food box and put the four dishes on the table one by one, Su Rong blinked and did not speak. Duanhua: "Huh? "This dish doesn't seem to be made by the chef of our princess's mansion, right?" ”
The maid shook her head, "Back to the county lord, it was Prince Su who specially cooked these four dishes, and asked the slave maid to send them here for you and Miss Seven." ”
Duanhua let out a "ha" and looked at Su Rong, "I thought I wouldn't be able to eat it today, but I didn't expect your eldest brother to really make it on purpose?" ”
Su Rong said: "My eldest brother is true to his word, since he agreed earlier, he naturally will not break his word." Eat! ”
Duanhua nodded again and again, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and found that the taste was actually not bad, "Hmm", "Your eldest brother is so good." ”
Su Rong let out an "um" sound.
Duanhua muttered, "Why don't I have a brother like this." ”
She tasted every dish and muttered, "Can you lend me half of your brother?" ”
Su Rong ignored her.
Duanhua flattened his mouth, stopped talking, and concentrated on the dishes.
In the kitchen, the people in the princess's mansion also figured out at this time, it turned out that the eldest prince Su had promised the county lord that he would cook for her lunch today, even if there were so many guests in the mansion, the eldest prince Su did not break his promise, and still took the time to cook.
The young man who cooks is very charming, although there is a saying that the gentleman cooks far away, but the chefs in the princess's mansion feel that Su Xing is really as rumored, with an excellent character and a promise.
Chen Zhou, Jiang Xing and the others in the front hall naturally didn't know that Su Xingze had done such a thing in the short half an hour since he left, but they found that he had bathed and changed his clothes, and knew that he had always loved to be clean, so they didn't ask much.
Therefore, when the eldest lady finished being a guest in the Huguo Mansion, finished lunch, and returned to Dongsi Hutong, she found that the mansion had changed.
The antechamber was bustling with people, and the servants walking in the courtyard were all well-dressed.
She wondered, "Where are so many people here?" ”
If it weren't for the housekeeper or a familiar face, she would have thought she had gone to the wrong door.
The gatekeeper hurriedly replied, "Madam, after you left, the Duanhua County Lord came, and seeing that the mansion was deserted and there was no one to serve, he asked a group of people to be seconded from the princess's mansion to give our mansion a few days first." Not long after the county lord of Duanhua came, the students from Jiangzhou came. Now no one is gone. ”
The eldest lady understood, and didn't go to the front hall to disturb the juniors to eat and drink, and directly took her six daughters to Su Rong's courtyard.
At this time, Su Rong and Duanhua were cooking tea around the stove, and both of them had eaten too much, especially Duanhua, she felt that eating the food cooked by Su Xing was unavoidable, and after eating this time, there might be no chance next time, so she pulled the dishes clean.
After eating, she clutched her stomach and waited for the hawthorn fruit tea on the stove to consume.
When the two of them were chatting for a while, a series of footsteps sounded outside, Duanhua turned his head to look at it, and whispered to Su Rong, "Your mother and sisters?" ”
Su Rong nodded, glanced at the sky, and thought that it was a little early to come back, so it could be seen that he had lunch in the Protector's Mansion and didn't stay, so he came back directly.
The eldest lady took the six young ladies into the house, Duanhua quickly stood up, put down the hand covering her stomach, and greeted the eldest lady very politely.
The eldest lady was very enthusiastic, holding Duanhua's hand, her face was full of love, and praised Duanhua from head to toe, almost praising her before pulling her down and talking to her.
Duanhua had never seen anyone so enthusiastic about her as the eldest lady, and she blushed when she was praised for a while, and kept looking at Su Rong.
Su Rongdang didn't see it, and let her and the eldest lady talk, and she herself asked the eldest lady beside her in a low voice, "Eldest sister, how about being a guest in the Protector's Mansion today?" ”
The eldest lady also lowered her voice and said: "The people in the Protector's Mansion are very enthusiastic, the old Protector also accompanied his mother to talk for a while, the eldest princess of Sheng'an and the Duchess and the ladies are very kind, and the prince of the Protector's Mansion is also in the house, it is said that he returned to the house last night, and he was going to the barracks early this morning, but when he saw his mother going, he also accompanied him for a long time, and left after lunch. Zhou Gu accompanied him throughout the whole process, but he didn't say much. ”
Su Rong nodded.
The eldest lady looked at Su Rong, hesitated for a moment, and whispered in her ear: "Before we left, the Duchess of Guo talked to her mother alone for a while, and after leaving the house and getting into the carriage, her mother didn't speak all the way, I don't know what the Duchess said to her mother." ”
Su Rong nodded again.
The eldest lady said softly: "The family style of the Protector Mansion is really excellent. ”
Su Rong nodded again.
When the eldest lady saw her say this, she didn't ask any more questions, so she stopped.
The eldest lady is a talkative person, she pulled Duanhua and talked for a while, it can be seen to the naked eye that she loves Duanhua very much, and when she heard that noon was Su Xingze's lunch for the two of them alone, she smiled even more on her face, and said to Duanhua: "In the future, Su Rong's eldest brother will be your eldest brother, you're welcome." ”
This is said at a high level, and he does not say, "If you want to eat it in the future, just instruct him." Just say that Su Rong's eldest brother is her eldest brother, you're welcome.
Duanhua glanced at Su Rong and nodded with a smile.
Su Rong coughed, "Mother, do you want tea?" Consumed. ”
Only then did the eldest lady stop, "Drink, hey, the dishes made by the chef of the Protector's Mansion are delicious, I accidentally ate too much, and I really need to eat." ”
In fact, she didn't eat much, she went to the Protector's Mansion as a guest, because of the relationship between Su Rong and Zhou Gu's divorce, the Protector's Mansion and the Su family were really a little delicate, she responded with twelve points of spirit, how could she eat too much?
Su Rong picked up the copper kettle and poured one for everyone, and the eldest lady took a sip and gave a sour spirit, "This is too sour, no sugar?" ”
Su Rong was silent, "I forgot." ”
