An Qi'en raised his eyebrows slightly, and Bai Lu saw that his master was interested, so he continued.
"My slave met Agui and Master Lu who were also buying elbows. Master Lu even greeted you, Madam."
"What's your greeting?" An Qi'en asked calmly.
She thought it was just polite and homely.
Bai Lu said excitedly: "Master Lu said that the young lady is virtuous and the housekeeper is really hard-working, so he gave the roast chicken he bought to the slave. Master Lu said that although the chicken is not the largest of the poultry, it is full of fighting power and the best to replenish the body."
An Qi'en heard the implication of these words, and suddenly thought of what Jiang said: Qiao Jianghong was talking nonsense in the teahouse, and Lu Bochu was also present. It was really embarrassing.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Bochu was connoting her, but she was too weak!
Brother Shi An had a close friendship with him, so he must have told something about her.
Moreover, her marriage to Qiao Jianghong was granted by His Majesty. Lu Bochu, as a member of the palace, naturally knew about this.
Bai Lu was even happier looking at the delicious roasted chicken: "Master Lu is really fond of his family. He is extremely kind to the eldest young master. I heard that many good things about the eldest young master are said in the court."
An Qi'en looked at the roasted chicken thoughtfully. Maybe he just gave her the chicken as a courtesy.
He was so close to brother Shi An, and they were just roast chicken. She really shouldn't think too much about it.
An Qi'en tore off two large pieces of meat from the roast chicken, while Bai Lu and Qing Bi took a large piece each.
The two maids happily ate the roast chicken.
She usually eats delicious food with her two maids.
When no one else is around, the two maids don't have to stick to the rules.
I ate the roasted chicken, gnawed on the elbow, and paired it with bayberry wine. It was very enjoyable.
Shen Shuli came back from buying herbs and happened to see An Qien taking the maids, eating and drinking.
Qingbi and Bailu quickly swallowed the meat in their mouths and wiped the corners of their mouths.
Shen Shuli stood outside the door and reported respectfully: "Young madam, I have bought the herbs."
Bai Lu went to get the herbs and glanced at Shen Shuli: "Excuse me, Miss Shen."
Shen Shuli lowered her eyebrows and said submissively: "This is what a slave should do."
"Miss Shen, please go back."
Bai Lu went in with the herbal package.
Shen Shuli returned to Wenyuanju for a while. When Qiao Jianghong saw that she didn't come back with chicken soup, he asked, "Where's the soup?"
Shen Shuli punched her calf with a tired look on her face. She was so tired that she said in a soft voice: "Madam, I asked you to go buy herbs and was delayed. Before I left, I told my wife that the prince wants to drink chicken soup."
"Your Majesty, haven't you had your drink yet? I just came back from Qiushui Residence and saw Madam and the two maids beside her eating chicken and gnawing elbows."
Qiao Jianghong didn't look good. Ever since he brought Shen Shuli back, he could no longer eat An Qien's weird and delicious food.
To be honest, he still missed the days when An Qi'en prepared food for him while lying on the bed.
He swallowed with his dry throat and asked with saliva, "What else did they eat?"
"I, looking from afar, there seems to be a lot of plum blossom wine, lotus cake, and lotus leaf rice."
Qiao Jianghong swallowed again after hearing this. An Qien was a woman who knew how to eat.
Every time the food he made looked good and delicious, he wanted to go over and eat it together.
Shen Shuli glanced at Qiao Jianghong and then provoked: "Maybe the madam who has been frugal these days can't bear it. It's normal for her to secretly turn on the stove. Don't blame the madam, prince."
Seeing that Qiao Jiang didn't answer, Shen Shuli spoke more enthusiastically: "Madam, the harvest in the Hou Mansion is not very good these days. The entire Hou Mansion is living frugally. Old Madam, Madam, she also saves money when she can. Madam If you eat nothing, the key point is that the two girls will eat too. The girls are better off than their masters, so it would be outrageous to spread the news."
Qiao Jianghong's face became darker. He knew that An Qien was good to the two maids.
"My prince's residence is not at the point where we can't afford meat!"
"The Crown Prince's family has a great business, so I can't eat as much meat as I want. The important thing is that my wife is eating with the maids. Those two maids don't understand any rules."
Qiao Jianghong also felt that An Qien cared too much about the two maids, even better than him.
But he still spoke for An Qi'en: "Those two girls have grown up with her since they were young, and they came to the Hou Mansion as dowry maids. Qi'en is kind-hearted, and it is reasonable to treat those two maids well."
Shen Shuli was unhappy after hearing this, but she didn't show it on the surface. She said calmly, "Yes, but maids still have to behave themselves."
At this time, the green maid Xiaozhi came to Wenyuanju.
"Your Majesty, my aunt's fetal movement is severe. Please come over and have a look."
Qiao Jianghong was about to get up, but Shen Shuli had an idea and said, "Let Dr. Jiang take a look. Your Majesty, you must not delay your afternoon homework."
"I'm going to see His Majesty soon, so I have to be fully prepared."
Qiao Jianghong thought it made sense, so he said to Xiaozhi: "Find a doctor for my aunt. I am not a doctor. In the future, please inform the doctor directly for such matters."
Xiaozhi wanted to say something else, but when he saw Qiao Jianghong's determined look, he responded submissively: "Yes." and then backed away.
When Qingcui knew that Shen Shuli was acting like a monster and didn't want Qiao Jianghong to come to see her, she threw the tea cup angrily.
This bitch has no status and is still competing with her for favor.
She really had strong fetal movements, thinking that this was Qiao Jianghong's first time as a father, so he could feel the baby's movements.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Jianghong listened to a maid and even ignored the child in her belly.
Xiaozhi supported Qingcui and comforted her: "Auntie, don't be angry, your body is important."
The greenery is full of fire, and although Shen Shuli is a maid, Qiao Jianghong loves her very much. No maid dares to offend her in this prince's mansion.
Even the aunt Qing Cui wants to give her three points.
Xiaozhi suggested: "Auntie, why don't you ask Madam for help? Madam is the mistress of the house, and she is very kind to you. If Madam knows about this, she will definitely punish that little bitch."
Qing Cui was so angry that she sat down softly: "These are all trivial matters. If Madam knows about this, then the old Madam and Madam will know about it. The prince dotes on that bitch so much, he will only think that I am doing good things on the basis of my belly." jealous."
Xiaozhi: "My aunt is thoughtful."
...
"Bochu, what do you think of my article?"
An Shi'an handed the article he wrote to Lu Bochu. Lu Bochu put down his wine glass and read his article carefully.
On the table were roast chicken, elbows, and several plates of side dishes to go with wine.
After reading the article, Lu Bochu sincerely praised it: "Not bad, not bad, it has such meaning, good article."
An Shian took a sip of wine and said, "Are you really treating me like this?"
"Shi'an, you are not confident in yourself. This is definitely a good article!"
An Shian said to the servant next to him: "Bring me the article on my desk."
The servant took the article and gave it to Lu Bochu.
When Lu Bo first read this article, his handwriting was different from An Shi'an's, but this article was far better than An Shi'an's in terms of handwriting, word choice, grammar, and reasoning.
He asked in surprise: "Which school teacher's article is this?"
An Shi'an took a sip of wine and said proudly: "This is what you said, written by my submissive sister."
