Chapter 5: The Concubine Who Stole the Chickens

After the lingering candles in the cave room, Ning Yuxuan kissed her gentle lips gently, and said awkwardly and seriously: "You are my person." ”

Wen Wan's cheeks flushed, glared at him and said, "Don't think that if you are the Hou Ye, I won't dare to do anything." If you fall in love with someone else one day, I'll leave too!"

Mo Yuhou smiled lowly, and took her hand and put it on his chest: "With you, where can you fall in love with someone else?" This woman in the backyard, you are the only one and I will pay my sincerity, do you believe it or not?"

Gently glanced at him, and lay obediently in his arms. There are so many women in the backyard, starting tomorrow, I want to be a person who can be worthy of Mrs. Hou's identity! Although her family background is not good, she is not afraid, Yuxuan's heart is good in her.

"Sleep. Ning Yuxuan kissed her forehead.

Wen Wan nodded, and was about to close her eyes, but she heard a sudden commotion outside.

"It's a drainβ€”"

Startled, Mo Yuhou also turned over, got out of bed and opened the door: "What's the matter?"

Guibai glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said in a low voice: "Back to the Hou Ye, the kitchen is running water, and the servants are putting out the fire." However, the place is far from the Rose Garden, so you can continue to sleep peacefully. ”

Ning Yuxuan frowned: "How can a good person go to the water, you send someone to check, on the wedding night, don't alarm the new lady." ”

"Yes. Ghost Bai answered, and ordered the little guy to go over and inquire about the situation.

Alfalfa was sleeping soundly, and was called by Mama Liu to put out the fire. Siguo Pavilion is the closest to the kitchen, and Mama Liu slept well, and she didn't care where Ji Man went, so she woke up Alfalfa and left.

A pile of dry wood in the kitchen somehow ignited and lit the oil tank next to it, almost causing a catastrophe. The servants put out the fire with sand and looked around. Aunt Li, who is in charge of the kitchen, said that it seems that she has lost a plucked chicken and two lotus leaves, the seasoning has also been moved, and the leftovers in the wooden barrel are gone.

Who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, came to the kitchen to steal something to eat, and let the kitchen run out of water? The head of the Hou Mansion immediately sent people to investigate, and called up all the slaves and maids in each house and courtyard, and searched inside and out, but could not find where the lost chicken was.

After a long night's trouble, Steward Qian decided to wait for dawn to hand over the matter to the new lady, so he sent the servants to sleep first. Alfalfa returned to Siguo Pavilion tiredly, and as soon as she closed the door, she saw her master sitting on the edge of the bed with bright eyes.

Alfalfa was startled, and habitually stepped back: "Woke up the master?"

Ji Man shook his head awkwardly, saw that Alfalfa closed the door tightly, and then hooked his finger at her: "Come here." ”

Alfalfa walked over slowly, looking at her cautiously, "Master?"

"Are you hungry?" asked Jiman.

Alfalfa looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to suddenly ask this: "No... Not hungry. ”

She said so in her mouth, but she was thinking about it, she couldn't eat enough every day, and she didn't have dinner today, how could she not be hungry?

Ji Man sighed, this little girl is also quite pitiful with Nie Sangyu, like a little chicken cub who has been stained with water.

Reaching out to pull out what was hidden on the bed, Ji Man gestured quietly to Alfalfa, and then pulled her to sit down at the wooden table in the middle of the room.

The two large lotus leaves wrapped in something fragrant as soon as they are opened. Alfalfa stared straight: "Burn... Roast chicken?"

The missing chicken in the kitchen turned out to be stolen by the master!

"This is not roast chicken, it's lotus leaf chicken. Ji Man said triumphantly: "I first boiled the chicken with boiling water, smeared it with salt, then filled it with spiced rice in the chicken's belly, wrapped it with lotus leaves and mud and threw it into the fire!"

Alfalfa was dumbfounded, she was Nie Sangyu's dowry maid, why did she never know that her master would still do this?

"Master, stealing... Yes, they will be punished. Swallowing hard, Sativa whispered.

Ji Man took the dishes and chopsticks she used to eat in the cabinet, picked the thread on the chicken's belly, rolled her eyes and said: "Who would know that I stole something? Besides, I am still Mo Yuhou's concubine, even if I know that I stole a chicken to eat, it will damage his reputation if it is passed out, even if he knows, he will not blame me." ”

The rice mixed with chicken fat and spices was fragrant, and Alfalfa glanced at Ji Man several times, feeling that his master seemed to be suddenly a lot smarter.

But now she was also very hungry, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Can the master... If the slave doesn't eat meat, the bones will be fine..."

A sad sentence to this girl, Ji Man poured half of the rice into the bowl, tore half of the chicken, and pushed the remaining half of the chicken and rice in front of the alfalfa: "You are a human, not a dog, what are you doing gnawing bones? I can't eat the whole chicken alone, half of one person, eat it quickly, don't let people find out." ”

Alfalfa's eyes widened, and she looked at her happily and carefully: "Can I finish eating it?"

Ji Man said with a straight face: "If you don't want to eat it, I'll only take half of it back next time, so that you will continue to be hungry!"
