Chapter 103: The Trial
Thank you, please call me the red envelope of the seven masters and the soft white rabbit two sisters~)
Besides, the worst way is to teach some recipes and the competent chefs in Zheng Guogong's mansion, and she happens to lack these secret recipes in other people's mouths.
Chu Lian smiled, "Please also ask the old lady and Duchess Zheng Guo to wait, I have something to discuss with my grandmother, and the result will not disappoint the two of you." ”
The old lady and Duchess Zheng Guo glanced at each other, but what they said was a bit excessive before, and they already had a trace of guilt, but now seeing Chu Lian give in, they hurriedly agreed.
The old lady also asked the big maid to lead their grandchildren to the next room.
After entering the wing room and closing the door, Mrs. He took Chu Lian's hand and said angrily: "Lian'er, this matter is wrong with their Zhengguo Mansion, you don't have to worry about them like this." ”
Chu Lian helped Mrs. He to sit on the yellow peach chair and comforted her: "Grandmother, I know that you defend me and feel sorry for me, but after all, your friendship with Mrs. Zheng Guogong is not ordinary, and the old lady is indeed worried about the body of old Zheng Guogong, which is understandable." Besides, this matter is not as serious as you think, if you want the old man to eat delicious food, the granddaughter-in-law has a way! You sit here, don't worry about the granddaughter-in-law, this matter will be arranged by the granddaughter-in-law. ”
Mrs. He stared at Chu Lian's clear eyes, and when she saw that her bright eyes were blinking, there was indeed no reluctance at all, and she suddenly smiled.
She and Mrs. Zheng Guo are handkerchiefs, and where do they really want to make any unpleasantness, but no matter what, both of them are old ladies in the two houses, sometimes conflicts of interest are inevitable, identities are different, and interests are not the same, if it can be avoided, it is naturally good, and neither of them will back down.
In today's such a thing, if the roles are reversed, I believe that Mrs. Zheng Guogong will do the same thing as her.
Now, though, it's certainly better to have the best of both worlds.
"Okay, grandmother listens to you this time. Mrs. He patted Chu Lian's soft little hands.
Chu Lian sat next to Mrs. He, and this room was full of henchmen they brought out from Jing'anbo's mansion when they went out, and there was no one else, so there was nothing to avoid.
Chu Lian glanced at the Xi Yan and Ming Yan she brought.
Both of them were stunned, and they understood some of Chu Lian's thoughts. In fact, just after listening to the words of Chu Lian and Old Taijun He, they had a faint feeling in their hearts.
Xi Yan's face was bitter, her brows were tightly frowned, and Ming Yan stood beside her without any extra emotions.
Chu Lian quietly watched the reactions of the two people, and she beckoned to the two of them, "Xi Yan, Ming Yan, you come here." ”
Xi Yan and Ming Yan bowed their heads and walked in front of Chu Lian, and said in unison, "What does the third grandmother command?"
Chu Lian didn't like to sell Guan Zi when he spoke, and said bluntly: "I guess you have already guessed a little bit of my thoughts, the old Zheng Guogong is not well and needs to be taken care of, and it is impossible for me to stay in the Zheng Guogong Mansion, and you have always been by my side, and I have never shied away from you about the secret recipes of the dishes in the courtyard on weekdays, and I have learned it from you, now, with this opportunity, are there any of you who are willing to stay and take care of the old Zheng Guogong's diet?"
Sure enough, Chu Lian said such a thing, and Xi Yan and Ming Yan also guessed it more or less.
As soon as Chu Lian finished speaking, Xiyan looked at Chu Lian reluctantly, his eyes full of uneasiness. Ming Yan was actually calmer than Xi Yan at this time, she just lowered her head, her bangs blocked her eyebrows, and Chu Lian couldn't see her expression clearly. Ming Yan glanced at Xi Yan out of the corner of her eyes, and she found that Xi Yan suppressed her emotions and couldn't bear it, so she didn't open her mouth to ask for a word.
Chu Lian frowned slightly, seeing that the two of them were silent, and continued: "After all, you are the first-class big girl next to me, let me give you to someone like this, of course it is impossible, if any of you can stay, when the old man's body is better, I will still send someone to take you back, of course, if you are unwilling, I will not be reluctant, the method is always thought of by people, and if it doesn't work all the way, we will change the way." ”
Chu Lian never likes to force people, if the two maids don't agree, she won't feel anything, at most she just gives up a few formulas.
However, staying to take care of the old prince is also a rare opportunity for Xi Yan and Ming Yan, the two girls are not stupid, and they must be able to think of the many benefits of it after a little turn.
Old Taijun He didn't expect Chu Lian to be like this, she suddenly smiled meaningfully, and a pair of shrewd eyes also fell on Xi Yan and Ming Yan in front of her.
Hearing Chu Lian say this, Xi Yan was obviously relieved, but Ming Yan's body tensed.
Chu Lian stared at them, the pressure on the two maids was not small, and being stared at by such two pairs of eyes that seemed to be about to see through people, Xiyan and Mingyan were beating drums in their hearts.
"I don't blame you for speaking your truest thoughts, whatever you choose. ”
After a while, Xiyan took a deep breath before he mustered up the courage to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Third grandmother, the slave maid is unwilling to stay, the slave maid ...... I just want to be there for you. ”
Chu Lian was slightly stunned and laughed, "Then stay by my side." Mingyan, what about you?"
When Xi Yan heard Chu Lian's words, the big stone in her heart finally landed, and she glanced at her master with a slightly hot eye, and then stood aside.
After listening to Xi Yan's answer, Ming Yan was obviously more nervous than before, and after a violent struggle, Ming Yan still made the most beneficial decision for herself, she raised her face and looked at Chu Lian, "Third grandmother, the slave is willing to stay and take care of the old man." ”
Ming Yan has a pair of big eyelids, compared to Fu Yan's jump, she is much more silent, the original text did not focus on the maid next to Chu Lian, after these days of observation, Chu Lian did not find the lack of her character, however, Ming Yan is her most personal maid, she will always find a chance to test her, today is an opportunity, but unfortunately, Ming Yan obviously disappointed Chu Lian.
However, this is her own choice, and Chu Lian will not blame her.
Chu Lian's face didn't see anything wrong, she smiled sweetly, "Okay, then you can stay and take care of the old man, after all, it is the big girl next to me, it's not good to lose my face, the secret recipes I taught you on weekdays, don't be stingy with the old man, as for the side, you don't have to worry, it's all arranged by me and my grandmother." ”
Ming Yan didn't expect Chu Lian to agree like this, and her face was full of joy, she secretly glanced at Chu Lian and carefully glanced at Mrs. He, and her heart really let go.
The next moment, she yearned for life in Zheng Guogong's mansion.
In the final analysis, no matter how smart Ming Yan is, she is just a little maid who has not seen much on the market, and no matter how many eyes she has, her vision is always limited.
Since it was discussed, the other methods prepared by Chu Lian naturally didn't work, so she told Ming Yan some more things, and then she helped Mrs. He out of the room.
Mrs. Zheng Guogong didn't expect that a big girl next to Chu Lian would have so many secret recipes, she was surprised, of course, she didn't believe it, how rare a secret recipe is now, even if Chu Lian can easily cook a good dish, she will not be tolerant enough to teach these secret recipes to the big girl around her.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Chu Lian smiled slightly, asked people to prepare the ingredients, and asked Ming Yan to show his hand in front of everyone.
Ming Yan makes dragon beard noodles, and the kung fu of rolling noodles and the method of cooking noodles are not something that ordinary people can have.
It wasn't until the noodles were made and served in front of Mrs. Zheng Guo that she had to believe that the maid beside Chu Lian was also a master of cooking.
Since it was proven, Ming Yan was also left to take care of Lao Guogong's diet, and Mrs. Zheng Guogong also knew that this was the biggest concession for Mrs. He, so she took her daughter-in-law to personally send Mrs. He and Chu Lian to the front yard.
Just as he was about to get into the carriage, Zheng Shizi rushed over.
Zheng Shizi is young and sweet-mouthed, as soon as he came, he first asked Mrs. He for his peace, and then thanked Chu Lian for his hospitality that day, and finally asked about the opening of Guilinju.
Chu Lian was a little surprised, "How did Zheng Shizi know that I was opening in Zhangluo Restaurant." ”
Zheng Shizi smiled heartily, "I heard what Brother He said a few days ago, when the time comes, don't forget to leave me an extra post." ”
"That's right. ”
That's the case, Chu Lian laughed, Zheng Shizi spoke cheerfully, and it was really annoying.
After a few words of greeting, Chu Lian followed Mrs. He back to Jing'anbo Mansion.
Seeing the carriage of Jing'anbo Mansion leaving the mansion, Zheng Shizi turned around and asked his grandmother and mother with a curious expression, "I heard that the township gentleman left her personal maid in our mansion, why is this?"
Duchess Zheng Guo glared at him when she heard him ask, "I don't do anything every day, but I actually inquire about these little things, you have to know what to do!"
Zheng Shizi has always been a good coaxing person, especially the elders like his mother and grandmother.
He hugged Duchess Zheng Guo's arm, "Mother, you also said that this is a trivial matter, since it is a trivial matter, tell your son, save your son from sending someone to investigate." ”
Duchess Zheng Guo only has this one son, in fact, she loves it very much, she doted and helplessly glanced at her son, stretched out her hand and nodded at him, "This big girl left by the townsman is good at cooking, and she takes care of your grandfather, you don't want to make trouble." ”
Zheng Shizi was a little surprised, "Good at cooking, what about Xiangjun?"
Mrs. Zheng Guo glanced at her grandson, "How can you compare with the Xiangjun, this girl was taught by the Xiangjun, didn't you say that you have eaten the dishes made by the Xiangjun himself, and if you taste the maid's work again in the future, you will naturally know." ”
Zheng Shizi was a little more excited when he heard this.
In the afternoon, Mrs. He and Chu Lian returned to Jing'anbo Mansion.
Chu Lian first sent Mrs. He back to Qinghui Hall, and when she left, Mrs. He sent all her subordinates out, holding Chu Lian's hand and saying something considerate.
"You kid, just sent the maid out around you, and now there are fewer people around, how about grandmother give you the wood incense?"
