But now Du's mother is much better, at least she no longer acts like before, and the rest of the maids are also governors, so she can't keep an eye on her, and it's a little gratifying to think about it.

As for the other subordinates in the mansion, it is even more worry-free, and they never cause trouble, unlike when they were in the palace, just the Ma Si family came to their yard and made a fuss. Now that she is pure, Chu Liangrao feels that it seems to be a lot more monotonous.

Although he had to be on guard at all times in the palace to guard against the Gu family, but now that he couldn't fight with the Gu family, Chu Liangrao felt idle again.

It's no wonder that she is like this, if in modern times, there are so many entertainment projects, why can't she find a pastime? And now, in addition to reading books and practicing calligraphy, all she can play is chess and mahjong, and mahjong she has temporarily put down due to prenatal education.

In this way, Chu Liangrao was even more bored, looking back on the past, she felt that the Gu family still had merit.

Of course, Chu Liangrao also knew that the Gu family was "unwell" now, so naturally she couldn't fight with her across the house, she pondered, if only Chu Chaoyang could come to play a game of chess with her.

However, after waiting for two days, Chu Chaoyang still didn't come.

Chu Liangrao called Ding Er over and asked what Chu Chaoyang was busy with.

It turned out to be a matter of fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve, which involved a wide range of people, and how easy it was to thoroughly investigate it? And some officials "cleverly" recommended Chu Chaoyang, saying that the prince had been idle for a long time, and this matter could establish prestige the most.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a 'door' thankless drudgery, and there are many people who offend, not to mention, and it is time-consuming and laborious.

Knowing this, Chu Liangrao understood that Chu Chaoyang was afraid that he would have to spend a while on this matter. Looking at Ding Er, she asked, "In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Ding Er buried his face and replied: "The prince told the little one, don't let the county lord bother with this matter......"

Chu Liangrao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, she believed in her father's ability, although this matter looked complicated, but if Chu Chaoyang came out, it would only be a matter of time before she had to investigate thoroughly, so what could she do, after all, she was just a 'woman' Taoist family, and in the officialdom, she couldn't 'insert' it even if she wanted to.

However, she also understood Chu Chaoyang's good intentions, nodded, and said, "You go down." ”

After Ding Er left, Mother Du walked in with a small casserole and said, "County Lord, today is the mushroom 'milk' pigeon soup." As she spoke, she opened the lid and a strong fragrance came out.

Scooping the soup into a small bowl with a small spoon, Du's mother handed it to Chu Liangrao.

Although it is only a soup, the place that needs attention should not be ignored, because the "milk" pigeon is not big, so the water can not be added, otherwise the soup will not be thick. And the heat also needs to be paid attention to, boil over high heat with low heat, after an hour add soaked mushrooms and wolfberries and boil for another two quarters of an hour, if it is a long time, this pigeon 'meat' will also melt.

Stirring with a spoon, Chu Liangrao took a sip, put down the spoon and asked, "Who made this soup today?" ”

"It's stewed by the four horses." Du's mother replied, seeing that Chu Liangrao stopped drinking, she asked again, "But this soup is not appropriate?" ”

Chu Liangrao nodded slightly and said, "There is no smell of salt." ”

Mother Du looked suspicious and said: "No, the Ma Si family is very attentive on weekdays, how could they forget this today." As she spoke, she picked up the bowl and tasted it at Chu Liangrao's suggestion, but there was really no salt at all, and immediately put the things on the tray again, "County Lord, Mom is going to talk to the Ma Si family." ”

Chu Liangrao advised: "Mom doesn't have to blame, ask what is going on first." ”

In fact, Chu Liangrao didn't intend to pursue the fault, but the Ma Si family, who was the most cautious on weekdays, would make such a mistake carelessly, Chu Liangrao felt that there should be something wrong with her to do this.

Du's mother went to the kitchen for a while, and when she came back, she said to Chu Liangrao: "The soup is indeed stewed by Ma Si's family, but the heat is watched by Zhu'er, this girl has always been careless, and Ma Si's family also reminded her to add salt, but she still forgot it." ”

"Pearl?" Chu Liangrao remembered what Ding Xiang said, could it be that Zhu'er was really influenced by Ding Er?

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao called Lilac over and whispered 'handover'.

Lilac listened to Chu Liangrao's instructions, although she expected it in her heart, she still couldn't help but 'show' a look of surprise, she pondered that Zhu'er was the youngest among them, and it stands to reason that she would not be in love so early. But since Chu Liangrao asked her to ask, she should go and chat.

After staying by Chu Liangrao's side for so long, Zhu'er is not stupid, and Lilac came to her to find her.

Lilac looked at Zhu'er's unpolished appearance, reached out and patted her on the back, and said, "The county lord doesn't blame you, don't do this, it's not good for people to see it." Seeing that there was no one left and right, she lowered her voice and said, "You tell me honestly, are you right about Ding Er...... Well? ”

"What did you say?" Zhu'er blushed and said, "What does it have to do with Ding Er?" ”

"Don't hide it, you, you can't hide your thoughts the most, and you have to put everything on the table." Lilac nodded to Zhu'er's forehead and said, "Look at your appearance, even the blind can see that something is wrong, and you were still stumbling a few days ago. ”

Zhu'er was startled, 'touched' her face and asked, "Is it so obvious?" Seeing Lilac nodded, she made an expression that she was about to cry and said, "The slave is really nothing to do with him, he just didn't sleep well today, and he won't do it on weekdays." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, if there is anything, the county lord will not blame you." Lilac soothed, "Do you really mean to?" ”

Looking at the cloves, Zhu'er turned her head to make a 'wave' drum and said, "How dare a slave and a maid be a subordinate?" ”

"Don't dare, or don't you have?" Lilac asked.

"Sister, don't ask." Zhu'er drooped her shoulders and said, "The slave has already learned that she is wrong. ”

Seeing that Zhu'er blindly avoided it, Lilac Suo's 'sex' made a cruel move: "Since you don't say it, then let the county lord ask Ding Er and see what he means." ”

Zhu'er was dumbfounded, seeing that Lilac didn't seem to be lying, she hurriedly grabbed her and said, "What are you looking for him to do, isn't there a lot of trouble?" If you tell the lord of the county, the slave and maid will never speak to you again. "Okay, don't look for it, don't look for it." Lilac replied helplessly, held Zhu'er's hand and said, "However, Zhu'er, you should know that the county lord is not bad for people, if you really have intentions, it is better to say it as soon as possible, and the province is uncomfortable in your heart." "It's all said and done, you have to do something, you should go back quickly." Pearls urged.
