On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, I got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen. Yao Zhenxing's family was busy making breakfast. They had already mixed two pickles, peanuts and mustard shreds, and japonica rice porridge was simmering in the pot.
Caiwei saw her chopping meat and guessed that she was going to make steamed buns, so she asked, "Aunt Yao, do you want to make steamed buns?"
Yao Zhenxing's loud voice replied with a smile: "As for the girl, yes! It's stuffed with pork and green onions, and the old slave got up early to make noodles."
After eating the food she cooked for a few days, the second master didn’t like it very much and didn’t use much. Since he planned to make fish today and make steamed buns, he said: “Aunt Yao, you have chopped the stuffing, and I will mix the stuffing. Give me a basin first."
Yi Yan from Yao Zhenxing's family gave her a basin, and Caiwei went out for a spin. When she came back, there was a big fish in the basin, which was jumping and thrashing around. There was a cloth bag hanging on her arm, which contained several large green peppers.
"Girl, where did you get such a big fish? It weighs six or seven pounds!" Yao Zhenxing asked.
"The second master brought it back. Auntie, I am not very strong. Please help me clean it up. I will cook fish for the master. The master likes to eat it!" Caiwei pushed her on the master and did not dare to ask her.
Yao Zhenxing's family didn't ask what happened to the green peppers. The master must have brought them back. After she went to pack the fish, Caiwei mixed the stuffing and kneaded the bread buns, put them on the basket and steamed them, and the fish was also packed.
I am still making spicy fish stew. There were no fresh green peppers last time and I used dried red peppers instead. Now the peppers are grown in the space and have grown big enough. I picked them for the master to try.
Gu Jingzhi didn't see Caiwei when he woke up. This was the first time. He was about to ask Ping An to look for her when he suddenly remembered that she was going to cook fish for him. He held his position steady, washed and dressed himself, and leaned on the bed to read travel notes. .
After a while, Caiwei opened the curtain, and Yao Zhenxing's family came in one after another carrying a food box.
Gu Jingzhi waved his hand, and Yao Zhenxing's family bowed out.
"Second Master, try the fish and chili in our space, they are delicious!" Caiwei said flatteringly while setting the meal.
Gu Jingzhi pursed his lips and smiled and said: "You talk a lot, how can it be delicious?" He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, nodded and praised: "You are right, It’s indeed delicious!”
Caiwei was good at mixing stuffing and making the steamed buns quite delicious. After visiting Zhuangzi in the north of the city for a few days, Gu Jingzhi had a full meal. The meal was delicious and she was in a good mood, so she asked Caiwei to play with Sanniu.
Caiwei likes Yao Sanniu very much. She is leaving in the afternoon. She doesn’t know if she can meet again. She wants to give her some parting gifts. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have anything. There is a few silver coins in the space that the master usually rewards. Rings or something, he asked: "Second Master, can I handle the things you gave me as a reward in the past?"
Gu Jingzhi was very generous, "If I give it to you, it's yours. It's up to you to decide what to do with it."
Caiwei jumped out and Gu Jingzhi was happy to see her happy.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Caiwei got on the car. Yao Sanniu couldn't bear to leave her. Her eyes were red, she opened her mouth and wanted to cry, with a pair of small tiger teeth exposed. She followed the car to the gate of Zhuangzi.
Caiwei waved goodbye to Yao Sanniu and lowered the car curtain.
Gu Jingzhi was sitting in the car without riding a horse today. The car was bumpy and it was not convenient to read, so he chatted with her, "I gave away the silver ring, what gift do I get in return?"
Caiwei took out a brocade handkerchief and showed it off: "Sanniu gave me the handkerchief, and she embroidered it herself. Master, look at how beautiful and lifelike the embroidery is."
Gu Jingzhi looked at it out of the corner of his eye and said, "It's very good, much better than what you embroidered."
"What? Second Master, when have you ever seen anything embroidered by a slave?" Caiwei asked strangely.
Gu Jingzhi smiled, "Haha, when I was picking lotus flowers for my birthday, Master Gu said you were a fox girl and returned the handkerchief you embroidered!"
Caiwei also smiled, stretched out her hand and said, "Second Master, my servant's embroidery is not good, please return the veil to me!"
Gu Jingzhi glanced at her and ignored her. Caiwei retracted her hand and said, hum! I must have lost it, because it took me three days to embroider it!
The capital city became more and more lively, with a constant flow of people and cars moving slowly. When they stopped at Sanshun Deli Shop, Gu Hu got off his horse and bought fifty kilograms of soy sauce beef.
Caiwei sniffed and praised: "The sauced beef here is really good! I will buy more in the future, so that I can give her teeth as a gift on the way to exile!" Gu Jingzhi nodded with satisfaction, this girl is good, and he began to prepare for exile.
Caiwei thought about the beef jerky she had learned from the video in modern times. It was delicious and spicy, so she said: "Second Master, I can make beef jerky. It's very delicious. It's also suitable for storage. It won't last for ten days and a half." It will go bad." He added, "Bring beef jerky with you when marching or fighting. It can supplement nutrition and resist hunger."
"It's so delicious!" Gu Jingzhi joked, and when he saw Caiwei nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, she laughed "hahaha".
Gu Hu and several horse-riding guards were on both sides of the car. Hearing his master's hearty smile, they looked at each other and said in their hearts: "Master is usually as cold as ice. He has rarely seen many smiling faces. Miss Caiwei didn't say anything funny. It's worth laughing. Is that so?"
Ping An was jealous and turned his head to look away. He saw a tall and thin young man walking from the direction of Zhongyong Hou Mansion carrying a medicine box. He was an acquaintance. He stopped his horse and greeted him: "Doctor Zhang, here you go." Sorry, I just came back from a medical visit!"
Dr. Zhang stopped when he heard the shouting and raised his head. There were several injuries on his face and his eyes were black and blue. He seemed like he didn't recognize him. He hesitated, nodded, and whispered: "Yes! I'm on a medical visit." ." Without another word, he walked away quickly as if running away.
He was defeated by a little girl in the competition for favor, and ignored him when he met an acquaintance. Ping An was in a bad mood. He shook the horse's reins angrily, and the horse raised its hooves and moved forward slowly. It took half a stick of incense to reach the Zhongyong Marquis' mansion.
The fourteenth day of the first lunar month is the lantern test day. Lanterns are hung everywhere in the house. Tomorrow is the official day of the Lantern Festival. Each lantern needs to be checked one by one to make sure it can be lit.
Ting Xuexuan also hung up the lantern. Before Ping An knocked on the door, the door opened. Mu Xiang, now called Jin Ling, came out dressed in silk and full of fragrance, "Brother Ping An, it's the second master who's back!" Ping An nodded.
The golden bell gently shook Willow's waist, and she walked gracefully to the front of the car and said in a delicate voice: "Second Master, when I hear the sound of horse hooves, I will know that you are back."
The door curtain opened and Gu Jingzhi jumped out of the car. He ignored Jin Ling and carried Caiwei down.
"Hey! Sister Caiwei, sister, say more, we are all slaves, how can we be like working masters?" Jin Ling's mouth twitched with jealousy.
Caiwei was not used to her, and said with a smile: "Sister Jinling, you can't talk nonsense, slaves are different from slaves. Master wants to hug me, so I can only do it reluctantly." Xiao, who doesn't know this? ! A concubine is bigger than a concubine.
White Lotus Jinling's eyes were red, and she twisted around aggrievedly, staring at Gu Jingzhi: "Second Master, look at Caiwei..."
Hearing that Caiwei recognized his concubine's identity, Gu Jingzhi pursed his lips and smiled, picked up Caiwei who had just put him down, and walked straight to the room. Jin Ling followed behind with red eyes, carrying the skirt.
