She coughed lightly and diverted the subject, "I'm hungry, let's get some food." ”

"Yes." Xi'er answered, and was about to go out, but saw Dong'er walk in, followed by a few maids carrying food boxes.

"Madame doesn't need to pass the meal, the prince has already ordered someone to send it over." Dong'er said with a smile.

Tao Yao was stunned, "What?" ”

Xi'er was also surprised.

The maids have taken out the food from the food box, placed them on the table one by one, and reported the name of the dish, "Eight treasure duck, steamed lotus leaf chicken, boiled shrimp, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, pork heart lotus seed soup, abalone cordyceps flower nourishing soup、......"

In a few moments, the table was full of dishes.

In addition to a variety of meats and soups, there are also a variety of desserts.

Tao Yao was dumbfounded, but looking at the sumptuous delicacies on the table, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Madame, please use it slowly."

After the maids had set the dishes in place, they withdrew.

As soon as they left, Tao Yao couldn't care about being reserved anymore, pounced on the table, and grabbed a chicken leg.

Why is Lu Jiuyuan so thoughtful and considerate?

As soon as she was hungry, food was delivered immediately.

And tonight's meal is too rich.

"Why is the taste of this food different from what the chefs in Fuchu usually make?"

After eating, she frowned suspiciously.

Xi'er hurriedly asked, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

"It's not." Tao Yao shook his head and swallowed the meat in his mouth, "It's too delicious." ”

Dong'er said with a smile: "Because tonight's dish was not made by the chef in the house, it was specially ordered by the Duke of Guo to order a meal for you from outside." ”

Tao Yao was stunned, "The meal ordered outside?" ”

"Hmm." Dong'er nodded, "When the Wuze guards sent it over just now, they told the slave maid that this dish was ordered in Yipinlou. ”

"Yipinlou?" Tao Yao was stunned.

This building, she vaguely heard Tao Shu mention it.

It is said to be the best restaurant in the capital, and the chef in it is the imperial chef who retired from the palace.

However, the cost of the dish is very expensive, and an ordinary table of dishes costs thousands of taels of silver.

But even so, Yipinlou is still in the market, and ordinary people can't book a seat in it even if they are rich.

The nobles in Beijing are even more proud of feasting guests in Yipinlou.

So, the dish she ate tonight was from Yipinlou?

No wonder it's so delicious, it's all built up with money.

However, why did Lu Jiuyuan order her a dish from Yipinlou?

He just came over, could it be that he actually wanted to have dinner with her?

Dong'er nodded, "Yes." ”

Tao Yao came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "By the way, is Guogong in the mansion?" ”

Dong'er shook her head, "It shouldn't be there, after the Guogong Fang left here, he left the mansion, as if he had an appointment with someone." ”

When Tao Yao heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Lu Jiuyuan had an appointment with someone else, he didn't want to dine with her when he came over just now.

Looking at the table full of dishes that hadn't moved much, she handed the two of them chopsticks, "I can't finish this table, you can eat it together, don't waste it." ”

The two were flattered, shook their heads and said, "Thank you, Miss (Madam), the slaves and maids must not break the rules." ”

Tao Yao was just about to persuade again, but at this moment, a small head suddenly poked in from outside the door, and his dark eyes turned slightly, "Aunt Jiu, what are you eating?" Far away, I can smell the fragrance. ”

Tao Yao: "......"

"The Seventh Son." Dong'er and Xi'er hurriedly saluted.

Lu Hao limped in, and when he saw the table full of delicacies, he rubbed his buttocks and said aggrievedly: "Aunt Jiu, I hurt so much." ”

Tao Yao had already noticed the strange posture of his walking, but he was deliberately indifferent, and glanced at him, "And then?" ”

"I should eat something delicious to comfort my wounded little heart." Lu Hao blinked his black eyes and said seriously.

Tao Yao: "......"

Lu Hao's nose sniffed, and his eyes lit up, "Why do I smell like a dish from Yipinlou?" ”

The corners of Tao Yao's mouth twitched, is this kid a dog, with such a smart nose?

"Eat as much as you want." She took chopsticks to him.

"Thank you, Aunt Nine." Lu Hao climbed onto the stool and knelt down.

Seeing this, Tao Yao frowned slightly, "The ass is really blooming?" ”

Lu Hao sandwiched a duck leg for himself, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Well, in the afternoon, my father gave me a meal, 'stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots'." ”

Tao Yao laughed out loud, "Your father is really powerful." ”

"What's awesome?" Lu Hao asked curiously while nibbling on the duck leg.

"Well, that's what it means to give energy." Tao Yao said casually.

Lu Hao's action of gnawing on the duck leg paused, and his eyes widened, "I've been beaten like this, Aunt Jiu, you still think my father is powerful?" Why don't you sympathize with me? I'm so pathetic......"

Tao Yao coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Little friend Lu Xiaohao, I deeply sympathize with you for what happened, oh, this is your condolences." As she spoke, she served him a bowl of pork heart soup.

Lu Hao put down the duck leg, picked up the bowl, and drank it with a grunt.

After drinking, he wiped his mouth and returned to his former vigor, "It's still Aunt Jiu who is good to me, and when you get old in the future, I will be filial to you." ”

The corners of Tao Yao's mouth twitched.

After Lu Hao ate and drank enough, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth, and then said mysteriously: "Aunt Jiu, in order to repay your hospitality, I will reveal a message to you." ”

Tao Yao was already full at this time, put down his chopsticks, slumped back on the chair to rest, heard the words, didn't lift his eyelids, and asked casually: "What's the news?" ”

"When I came to your courtyard just now, I specially went around the Star Picking Hall and saw Gu Changqing's old guy." Lu Hao said.

"Master Gu?" Tao Yao was stunned, "Master Gu is here?" ”

Lu Hao nodded, and said with an indignant face: "I heard Gu Changqing tell Uncle Nine that there is a new group of convicted officials and daughters in the Department of Education, all of whom look like Peugeot Water Spirits, and then my Ninth Uncle went out with him." ”

Tao Yao was stunned, "Did you hear it right?" ”

Lu Hao had an insulted expression, "I'm deaf and clear-sighted, how could I hear it wrong?" I heard it with all my heart.

My ninth uncle must be in the teaching department now, I am really anxious for you Aunt Jiu, in case my ninth uncle sees other girls outside and brings them back to the house, your status will be in jeopardy. ”

Tao Yao: "......"

For some reason, she still felt that Lu Jiuyuan was not that kind of person.

"Perhaps...... He went there because he had some official business to do. ”

Lu Hao's small eyebrows furrowed, shook his head and said: "Aunt Jiu, you are so naïve, I know men best, and it is an excuse to work in a place like the Teaching Workshop Division."

Before, my father told my mother that I went to Tianxianglou because of business, and as a result, I almost brought a girl home.

If it weren't for my mother messing with him, my father's backyard would be lively now. ”

Tao Yao: "......"

"So Aunt Nine, don't believe the man's nonsense, you must watch my Uncle Nine." Lu Hao instructed in an old-fashioned manner.

Tao Yao: "......"
