The person seconded from the Princess Mansion was indeed as the housekeeper said. He worked quickly and neatly, and had two tables for lunch. It was noon and the meal was served on time.
Half an hour before the meal started, Su Xingze let the Jiangzhou students play by themselves. He went to the kitchen, and then rolled up his sleeves under the watchful eyes of everyone in the kitchen.
The cook who was sent to the Princess Mansion was confused and said cautiously: "Master Su, whatever you want to cook, just leave it to the slaves."
Su Xingze shook his head, "I'll do it myself."
He didn't explain much and cooked four dishes under the watchful eyes of the cooks.
After finishing cooking, he said to one of them: "Send these dishes to my sister's yard. The princess and my sister should be enough to eat."
The person who was ordered nodded blankly.
Then Su Xingze left the kitchen, returned to his yard, took a quick bath and changed clothes, and went to the front hall.
When the four dishes were delivered to Su Rong's yard, Su Rong and Duan Hua had already woken up. Su Rong drank the medicine and slept again. Her overall appearance was much better than when Duan Hua came.
I got out of bed and sat in the small hall waiting for someone to bring food.
After the eldest lady saw what she said, she didn't ask any more questions and stopped talking.
She took a bite of each dish and murmured, "Can you lend me half of your eldest brother?"
Duan Hua glanced at Su Rong, smiled and nodded.
Su Rong said: "My eldest brother is true to his word. Since he promised earlier, he will naturally not break his promise. Eat!"
Su Rong nodded again.
The eldest lady said softly: "The family tradition of the Protector's Palace is really excellent."
This was a reasonable statement. It didn't say, "If you want to eat it in the future, feel free to order him." It just said that Su Rong's eldest brother is her eldest brother, so you're welcome.
The eldest lady brought the six young ladies into the room. Duan Hua quickly stood up, put down his hand covering his stomach, and greeted the eldest lady politely.
The eldest lady looked at Su Rong, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered in her ear: "Before we left, the Duke's wife talked to her mother alone for a long time. After leaving the house and getting on the carriage, my mother was not there all the way.
Talking, I don’t know what the Duke’s wife said to my mother.”
The maid shook her head and said, "Back to the princess, Mr. Su specially cooked these four dishes and asked me to bring them here to you and the seventh lady."
The eldest lady is a talkative person. She held Duan Hua and talked for a long time. It was obvious to the naked eye that she liked Duan Hua very much. When she heard that Su Xingze made lunch for the two of them alone at noon, she even smiled brightly and said to Duan Hua.
: "Su Rong's eldest brother will be your eldest brother from now on. You're welcome."
Su Rong coughed and said, "Mom, do you want some tea? It's for digestion."
After eating, she held her stomach and waited for the hawthorn fruit tea on the stove to digest her food.
Su Rong said "hmm".
Su Rongdang didn't see it and allowed her to talk to the eldest lady. She herself asked the eldest lady beside her in a low voice, "Sister, how about being a guest at the Duke Protector's Mansion today?"
If it weren't for the housekeeper and the familiar face, she would have thought she had gone to the wrong door.
The eldest lady was very enthusiastic. She held Duanhua's hand and her face was full of kindness. She praised Duanhua from head to toe, almost to the point of praising her, and then she took her to sit down and talked to her.
The gatekeeper hurriedly reported back, "Madam, after you left, Princess Duanhua came. Seeing that the mansion was deserted and there were no people to serve, she asked someone to second a group of people from the princess mansion to give our mansion some time first. Duanhua County
Not long after the Lord came, students from Jiangzhou came looking for him. They haven't left yet."
Duan Hua let out a "ha" and looked at Su Rong, "I thought I wouldn't be able to eat it today, but I didn't expect that your elder brother actually made it specially?"
The front hall was bustling with people, and the servants walking in the yard were all well-dressed.
When the maid carried the food box and placed four dishes on the table one by one, Su Rong blinked and said nothing. Duanhua said "Huh?" "This dish doesn't seem to be made by the chef of our princess's house."
Bar?"
Duan Hua muttered, "Why don't I have a brother like this?"
Chen Zhou, Jiang Xing and others in the front hall naturally didn't know that Su Xingze did such a thing in the short half hour he left. They just found that he had taken a shower and changed clothes. Knowing that he always loved to be clean, they didn't know that Su Xingze had done something like this.
Ask more.
Su Rong nodded again.
The young master who cooks is very charming. Although there is a saying that a gentleman lives far away from the kitchen, the cooks in the princess's house all feel that Su Xingze is just as rumored, with excellent character and a promise of gold.
Su Rong ignored her.
The eldest lady understood, and instead of disturbing the juniors in the front hall while they were drinking, she took her six daughters directly to Su Rong's yard.
At this time, Su Rong and Duan Hua were making tea around the stove. Both of them had eaten too much, especially Duan Hua. She felt that eating the food cooked by Su Xingze was a rare thing. After eating this time, she decided not to eat.
Once I thought there was no chance, I cleared all the plates.
Su Rong nodded.
In the kitchen, the people in the Princess Mansion also figured it out. It turned out that the eldest son Su had promised the princess that he would cook for her to have lunch today. Even though so many guests came to the house, the eldest son Su did not break his promise.
I still found time to cook.
The eldest lady also lowered her voice and said: "The people in the Protector's Mansion are very enthusiastic. The old Protector even talked with his mother for a long time. The eldest Princess Sheng'an, the Duke's wife and all the ladies are very kind. The Protector
The prince of the mansion is also in the mansion. It is said that he returned to the mansion last night. He was supposed to go to the military camp this morning, but when his mother went there, he stayed with Zuo for half a day and left after lunch. Zhou Gu accompanied him throughout the whole process.
But I didn’t say much.”
Duan Hua nodded repeatedly, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and found that the taste was not bad. He said "um" and said, "Your brother is so kind."
While the two were chatting, a series of footsteps sounded outside. Duan Hua turned his head and glanced, then whispered to Su Rong: "Your mother and sisters?"
Su Rong nodded, took a look at the sky, and thought that he came back a little early. It could be seen that he had lunch at the Protector's Mansion and came back directly without staying.
Duan Hua had never seen anyone so enthusiastic about her as the eldest lady. She blushed at the compliment and kept looking at Su Rong.
She asked in confusion: "Where are there so many people here?"
Duanhua flat-mouthed, stopped talking, and concentrated on cooking.
Therefore, when the eldest lady returned to Dongsi Alley after being a guest at the Duke Protector's Mansion and having lunch, she found that the house had changed.
Only then did the eldest lady stop talking, "Drink, oh, the food cooked by the chef at the Protector's Mansion is delicious. I accidentally ate too much, and I really need to eat."
In fact, she didn't eat too much. She went to the Duke Protector's Mansion as a guest. Due to the relationship between Su Rong and Zhou Gu's divorce, there were some subtleties between the Duke Protector's Mansion and the Su family. She was very alert to deal with it. How could she eat too much?
Su Rong picked up the copper pot and poured a cup for everyone. The eldest lady took a sip and said, "This is too sour. No sugar?"
