"My slave went to Ruyi Building by herself. The shopkeeper said that Master Tao's mother was hit by a carriage when she went to the hospital for a follow-up consultation a few days ago. Master Xiao Tao and her father could only take turns taking leave to take care of her at home. Today they take turns When Master Xiao Tao was taking care of him at home, the servant thought about going to another restaurant to make a reservation. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said that Master Xiao Tao's father would be off work soon, and we could invite Master Xiao Tao to cook at home, so The servant then found the place according to the address provided by the shopkeeper."
Jin Bao said with a sigh, "The servant was still a little confused as to why the shopkeeper suggested this. After all, Master Tao would go to the master's house to cook, and the restaurant would not benefit. He also wondered if there was some agreement between Ruyilou and Master Tao. , if she helps Master Tao introduce her to the master, Ruyilou will share her wages."
"The result is not?" Geng Xingshuang guessed: "Is Master Xiaoyu's family poor? The shopkeeper of Ruyilou sympathizes with them, so he helps her introduce jobs so that she can get more money to improve her family's situation?"
"That's it, girl, you are so awesome!"
"Sixth sister is already very powerful!"
Jinbao and Geng Xingchen started having a daily rainbow fart.
Geng Xingshuang stood up and said, "Let's go to the kitchen to see Chef Xiaoyu. Although she comes to our house to cook, we have known each other before and are considered guests. We have to say hello anyway."
If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late and it would take a long time to sit down at the table, Geng Xingshuang would have directly invited Tao Yuyu to sit in Qingcui Courtyard.
"Sister Shuang, where are you going?"
When the two sisters took Jinbao and Bai Zhi out of the hospital, they were stopped by Geng Shuhuai.
Geng Xingshuang told him about going to see Master Xiaotao.
Geng Shuhuai said he wanted to go too.
My family knows my family well, and my second brother is just like me and loves to join in the fun, so Geng Xingshuang will naturally not object.
The group of people went to the kitchen in a lively manner.
More than an hour has passed since Geng Shuhuai entered the house, and the entire house also knew that the second young master of the first house was back.
"I heard that in order to help the second young master, the elder gave money to Xiang's mother and asked her to buy a lot of vegetables. The sixth girl even asked Jinbao to invite a famous chef to come back. Smell it, it smells so good. ah!"
At the entrance of the main courtyard, the gatekeeper Pomegranate faced the direction of the kitchen, raised his head slightly, and sniffed hard, as if he could smell more of the meat aroma this way.
The person standing opposite her was Putao. Putao was here to change shifts, and it would be her turn to be on duty soon.
After listening to Shiliu's words, Putao asked in a low voice: "I heard that when the second young master came back, he first went to greet the uncle, and then came to the main courtyard, but... the uncle didn't see him, right?"
After hearing this, Shiliu no longer tried to smell the scent of the kitchen, but took a look inside the courtyard first. She didn't see Mother Qiao and Lu Wu, and then she lowered her voice and said, "Isn't that right? You said that the second young master I haven’t been back to my hometown for two years, and finally came back. I didn’t even go back to Qingcui Courtyard, and came directly to the main courtyard. No matter from any aspect, I couldn’t fault it, but Mrs. Bo said that she was not feeling well and could not You didn't even know that you asked the second young master to stand and wait under the bright sun when meeting guests, and asked me to deliver a message. I didn't even dare to look at the second young master at that time."
"Second Young Master, didn't you wait?" Putao looked around and didn't see Geng Shulou.
"The second young master originally planned to wait, but then the sixth lady came over, and the eldest master and eldest wife also came and took him away." Shiliu truthfully recounted the scene she saw.
"Alas..." Putao sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Are you worried that Madam Uncle will get angry? Don't worry, Madam Uncle just dropped a cup, she should be fine now." Pomegranate comforted her carelessly.
Putao shook his head, "When Mrs. Uncle gets angry, it usually affects Mother Qiao and the others. If we don't go into the house, Mrs. Uncle won't miss us. I was thinking before that with so many dishes cooked in the kitchen today, can we have a taste of the meat?" Soup."
"Hehe!" When talking about this, Pomegranate was happy, "In the past, as an eldest lady, I would definitely give one to the main courtyard, but now... tsk tsk, it's hard to say, but I can go to Yide Courtyard. My mother’s example.”
"That's true, uncle always kisses..."
"You two little maids, you are so arrogant, you are so arrogant. It seems that I have treated you too well in the past, so you should be tight-lipped!"
The two little maids chatted more and more happily. Who would have thought that Mother Qiao and Lu Wu were standing in the yard supporting Mrs. Uncle at some point, and they didn't know how long they had been listening.
The two maids turned pale and knelt down with a plop, "Madam, forgive me. Madam, forgive me. I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
The two maids begged for mercy and kowtowed their heads "bang bang bang". After a while, there was blood on their foreheads.
"Tie them up and wait until I come back to deal with them!" Mrs. Bo gritted her teeth.
"Yes." Mother Qiao didn't dare to say more words.
These two little maids are also unlucky. Ever since the second master was injured, Mrs. Bo has been in a bad mood. She was also threatened by the third bedroom and the second master and the young master, which made her even more angry. Today the second young master suddenly came back. Madam Uncle was turned away from the house, and instead of standing obediently outside the courtyard waiting for Madam Uncle's call, she went back to Qingcui Courtyard on her own, which made Madam Uncle's anger reach its peak.
At this time, Qiao's mother felt that if she said one more word, she might be kidnapped by Madam Uncle.
The two women in the main courtyard tied up pomegranates and grapes, while Mrs. Bo went to Yinghe Courtyard to see her second son Geng Cheng.
Geng Xingshuang didn't know what happened in the main courtyard for the time being. The three brothers and sisters were watching Tao Yuyu cooking in the kitchen.
Well, take a bite from time to time.
It wasn't until dinner was almost ready that the three foodies slowly returned to Qingcui Courtyard with half-full bellies.
Geng Yan and Jiang had already arrived with their two sons.
"What a boy, you're even taller than your third uncle!" As soon as Geng Yan saw Geng Shuhuai, he stood up immediately, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said with relief when he felt the thick muscles under his palms.
"My father wishes that his second brother was his son!" Geng Xingchen whispered.
Geng Xingshuang laughed.
The people in the two rooms sat around the table, which was full of food. Geng Yan brought the fine wine he had collected. Everyone laughed and laughed. Geng Shuhuai answered everyone's questions one by one, and told interesting things about the escort journey, which made people angry for a while. Geng Shu made Geng Shu Ji envious of the two little guys, and kept urging: "Later, second brother, please don't drink. When you are drunk, you will have a big tongue!"
"Nonsense! Your second brother and I have a good drinking capacity. This little wine has no effect on me."
The lively scene here in Qingcui Courtyard contrasts with the loneliness and coldness of Yinghe Courtyard.
"Mrs. Bo is gone?" Yao asked lightly.
"Just left." Dongmei said carefully. Since Mama Tan was sent away and the second wife disliked Mama Yan, she and Qiuye have become the closest people to the second wife. However, Qiuye has a bit of a naughty temper. The second wife Although I trust her, I don't tell her my true feelings, but I often tell myself.
For Dongmei, she felt both flattered and a little frightened.
"When she went there, was Mrs. Zhang or Mrs. Ni there?"
Yao asked again.
"Miss Ni has been serving for three days. She had a fever last night. It was my servant who helped the doctor who asked the master for a follow-up visit to prescribe medicine, so today it is Miss Zhang who is serving the second master."
