When she made up her mind, she took the initiative and said, "I see that you are not particularly hungry, so I will carry it to the side hall, and you can help me give the baggage to Bai Zhi. When you come back, help me go to the kitchen to get some sweet water and
Pastries, the princess said they are available in the kitchen."
She had to eat something first, otherwise the taste would have changed if she waited for the baggage to be sent back and then walked back.
A smile flashed through Zhai's eyes again, and he saw the little boy carrying the food box and turning away eagerly, with a look of doting in his eyes.
The little kid was focused on the food box in his hand right now, and he couldn't care about so much.
It was clear that the food box had not been opened yet, and she felt that she could already smell the aroma of the eight-treasure duck meat.
She originally thought she could endure the farm cooking, but now her greedy mind has been completely aroused.
When she was approaching the side hall of the front yard, she thought that she was dusty and had not washed her hands yet, so she immediately turned around and walked to the kitchen with the food box in hand.
Instead of asking Zhai to help her get desserts and pastries, she might as well get them herself.
This way, after washing her hands, she could take a bite of pudding or something to soothe her growling stomach.
"Baby girl!"
The original cooks and maids in Jiang Mansion either went to the farm to help in the small frying pan, or, like other girls in the family, after completing their duties, they helped make soap in their free time to earn some extra money.
But since Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo arrived here, Qi Lie, the younger uncle, learned that Yan Shiqing was pregnant again, so he sent a cook with good skills over.
At this moment, the little boy came to the kitchen and was a little stunned when he saw an unfamiliar cook and a rough lady.
"Who are you?"
The cook was in her early thirties and came from the imperial dining room. When she saw the little boy, she was neither humble nor arrogant and said, "The slave family is from the prince's house. Cuiyun, the cook, comes from the palace."
When the little boy heard that he came from the royal kitchen in the palace, he was still a cook, and he immediately saluted and said: "Hello, Aunt Cuiyun, this servant is the little girl next to the princess. I just arrived today, and I am a little hungry now.
The princess said there is sweet water and cakes here."
Si Shan has a rank in the palace and is considered to be the fifth rank among palace maids, and palace maids above fifth rank can be called aunts.
Although Xiaowa is the eldest girl next to Yan Shiqing, she has no rank. What's more, this is the Hongwu Kingdom, and the person in front of her came from the palace, so she is very respectful to the person in front of her.
When Cuiyun was sent to the Jiang Mansion, in addition to getting to know Chu Ximo and Yan Shiqing, she also got to know the house and several personal guards and maids around them.
At this moment, she heard that the younger-looking girl in front of her called herself Xiaowa and said that she had just arrived today, and her attitude softened.
The girl in front of her is the first-class girl next to the princess, and she is even more proud than Bai Zhi. Her weight in the princess's heart is no worse than that of Aunt Huo.
Now that she was sent to this residence by the prince as an errand, she naturally couldn't put on airs and show off her face.
"Yes, always ready."
Seeing that she had a good attitude, the little boy couldn't help but look at her, and then said: "Aunt Cuiyun, I wonder if there is pudding or grass jelly honey. If not, you can give me double skin milk."
Cuiyun shook his head and replied: "No, I heard that those are all sold in farmers' stir-fries. The craftsmanship of the slave family is really limited and I don't know how to make them. At the moment, the sweet water kitchen only has lotus leaf soup and rose fragrance. I don't comment. As for pastries,
There are osmanthus cakes, taro rolls and jade bean cakes."
The little boy was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no pudding. But the thought of being able to taste the pastries made by Si Shan was worth it.
"Aunt Cuiyun, except for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, give me some of everything else. Not too much, just half a bowl of each kind."
After the little boy said this, he put the food box on the table and washed his hands.
After washing his hands, he saw Zhai arriving here at some unknown time.
"Okay? Let's go then!"
Zhai said, picked up the food box on the table and walked out first.
Seeing this, Xiaowa hurriedly followed: "Zhai, did you give my baggage to Bai Zhi?"
"Well, here we go. You said you were going to the side hall first, so why are you here in the kitchen?"
"I thought I could take a quick shower and eat some pastries here first, so I came here. But why did the cook change? When did she change? Where is the original person?"
The little baby was still thinking about eating pudding, double skin milk and grass jelly honey, but he didn't know that someone had changed.
Aunt Cuiyun said she didn't know how to eat them, and she was afraid that if she wanted to eat them in the future, she would have to go to the farmhouse for stir-fries.
"Aunt Huo has been busy making perfume and rouge and gouache in the past few months. The soaps and other soaps have been left to others to make. The original cook was an old man in the house. Aunt Huo said she could trust her.
Let her watch. The other people in the kitchen also went to earn some money while they were free. Prince Qi Lie knew that the princess was pregnant and the kitchen could not always be occupied, so he sent someone over."
When the little boy heard his explanation, he nodded in understanding.
After the two of them walked away, she whispered: "Is Aunt Cuiyun reliable? She doesn't have anything else on her mind, right?"
What Xiaowa means here is to mean whether you have any different intentions or not, don’t come here to harm others.
"Don't worry about this. The master is here. If there is a problem, how can you enter this house?"
Zhai said, and stretched out his hand to give her a hug without leaving any trace: "Let's go, if you don't eat quickly, the eight-treasure duck will be cold later."
Hearing this, the little boy's attention returned. He immediately stepped forward to grab the food box and quickly rushed towards the side hall.
After arriving, she ignored her image and opened the food box, reached out and tore off a duck leg and took a big bite.
"Well, that's what it tastes like!"
She quickly chewed the eight-treasure duck meat in her mouth, closed her eyes and sighed intoxicatedly.
Zhai was not hungry in the first place, so he bought so much just for the baby.
Seeing her like this now, a look of doting appeared in her eyes again, and she immediately brought out rose scented water and other things for her.
After the little boy opened his eyes, he looked at the lotus leaf soup that was handed to him with a spoon placed in front of him. He first swallowed the eight-treasure duck in his mouth, and after taking two sips of sweet water, he looked at Zhai.
"Eat, don't look at me. Otherwise, I'll finish them all in a while, and I won't pay you any money at that time."
Seeing her like this, Zhai felt angry and amused. In order to prevent her from thinking too much, he immediately tore off a piece of meatless duck back and ate it slowly.
When the little boy saw that he was also eating, he immediately rudely ate meat and drank sweet water again.
As for the desserts, she had already asked her to put them aside.
After she had eaten and drank enough, she lay on the armchair with greasy hands and a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhai took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "Wipe your mouth and hands!"
When Xiaowa heard this, he looked at the handkerchief in his hand, then at him, and immediately sat upright, staring at Zhai as if he had seen a ghost.
Who are they and what are their origins? Who doesn’t know who they are?
How could people like them carry a veil with them? It would be as strange as the sun rising from the west.
Zhai felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him, so he immediately said bravely: "You don't want it?"
The little kid laughed twice, then reached out to take the handkerchief and wiped his mouth and hands.
After wiping it, she looked at the handkerchief carefully, and then simply turned it in her hand without giving it back to him.
"Zhai, when did you start using this girly thing? Tell me, are you interested in any girl?"
As she spoke, she held the handkerchief in her hand and waved it in front of Zhai's eyes, not caring whether the handkerchief was greasy or not.
Zhai looked at her deeply and saw that in her clear eyes, there was no shyness that a girl should have at all, but only a mean and gossipy look. He couldn't help but sigh for himself. yyls
This girl, she hasn't figured it out yet!
Seeing that he was silent, the little boy laughed again, thinking that he had guessed it.
After she had laughed enough, she stood up, patted Zhai on the shoulder earnestly, and said, "We, Zhai, have grown up too, and it's time to get a wife!"
When she finished speaking, she looked very loyal, clenched her fist and lightly hit Zhai on the shoulder. Some brothers seemed to be impressed and said: "Tell me, which girl do you value? I see you eat so much today.
Shao, you definitely didn’t buy it for yourself, you bought it specially for me, right?”
Zhai's eyes lit up, thinking that she understood what he was thinking, but before he opened his mouth, he heard her say again: "It's not impossible to ask me to help you, but it's impossible to bribe me with just a meal.
.Tell me, let me first find out which house the girl is from? If it is difficult for the other party to deal with it, then I will charge you a few more meals."
Hearing this, Zhai didn't understand what she meant.
I bet this girl thought that she bought these to bribe her, hoping that she would connect him with other girls in the house.
Xiaowa saw him purse his lips and said nothing, and immediately thought that the identity of the other party was a bit difficult to figure out, and his face became serious: "It's hard to figure out? Could it be that she is the rich lady?"
If it is a rich lady, it will be really difficult.
Zhai is now regarded as a high-ranking military attache in Dachu, but after all he is Liu Ye's retainer, and he will soon go to sea with him. He will be there for several years, and it is not realistic to ask his girl to get married immediately and follow him.
It's not right for a girl to wait for several years.
Ouch, why is it so difficult?
She was just a meal from him, so why did he cause such trouble for her?
Zhai didn't know that the little boy was thinking too much at the moment. After he heard about the rich lady, he stretched out his hand and wiped his face and said, "What do you think?"
Seeing his expression, Xiaowa thought he was trapped by love, and immediately said: "You must be her?"
Zhai stared at Xiaowa for a long time before saying, "I think she is the most suitable for me."
When he said this, he stared deeply at the little baby.
The nervous little boy felt that Zhai was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he stared at him seriously for a long time.
"Zhai, listen to me. I know that after you saw Mr. Liu marrying a wife, you felt that you were old and anxious. But for people like us, it is not easy to marry a wife. Now, we are also
