Ming Mo frowned. Of course he had never met Gao Mama, but he was just wondering how she knew his young master?
Gu Chengyu's hand stopped for a moment, and then he remembered that the bite wound on his shoulder had not been treated yet! He would have to apply some medicine later, otherwise there would definitely be scars! Not that he cared about the extra one on his body.
It's a scar, but the scar is a tooth mark, which leaves a very awkward mark on the body.
"Invite people in!" Gu Chengyu ordered Ming Mo.
Hearing this, Ming Mo let Gao MaMa in.
As soon as Gao MaMa entered the house, she saw the food placed in front of Gu Chengyu. She secretly said that it was really unlucky to come while others were eating.
She immediately bowed and said, "I didn't know that the young master was eating, but the old slave was abrupt!"
Gu Chengyu didn't put down his bowl and chopsticks. He hadn't eaten since last night. He was really hungry. Besides, he was growing tall and would be starved if he didn't eat even one meal!
It's just that he is hungry, and there are outsiders around, so he can't gobble it up. After three years of teacher's teaching, his manner is different from the past. The six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, is one of the basic skills!
"No need to be polite, no need to be intrusive!"
Gao MaMa secretly looked at the young master in front of her, and saw that his eating manners were no different from those of other young masters in the house, and his movements were more natural and smooth. Looking at what he was wearing now, it was different from yesterday.
A moon-white round-neck robe with light purple bamboo leaves and satin trim, and gold and silver threads on the edges, made this young man look as rich as a crown jewel.
When people came, they couldn't enjoy their food any more. Gu Chengyu took a few bites, then put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
Gao MaMa saw the young man's gentle movements and recalled the fierceness with which he killed the Jiang bandits yesterday. She felt that they were not the same person. This man seemed to be a young man from some aristocratic family, but the young man from the capital didn't listen.
I have said that such a person is from the local area?
Seeing Gu Chengyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, Gao Mama felt even more embarrassed. Look at these meals, I'm afraid they have just eaten them!
Gu Chengyu looked at the gift box in Gao Mama's hand and knew that she was probably here to give a gift. But why did the gift box still smell like food?
"I wonder what Gao Mama came to see me for?"
"It's not the old slave's fault. I disturbed the young master while he was eating. It was also ordered by the old slave's girl. The young master's life-saving grace is really unforgettable. Since he is a life-savior, how can he not know the name of his benefactor? I specially ordered the servant to come to ask the young master's house.
Wherever we are, we girls can ask our family members to come and say thank you!"
Gu Chengyu felt that this was just a trivial matter, and he couldn't just ignore it if he encountered it. He didn't want to get entangled in this matter.
"You're so polite. It's just a small effort. There is no need to worry about it. Why do you need to thank me? Please don't worry about it, your girl!"
"I'm really ashamed to say it. My girl said that she thought the young master was a Jiang bandit and hurt him. She has been feeling very sorry. The young master is also generous and doesn't argue with my girl."
Before she came, her girl had said that the other party would definitely not leave her name. Sure enough, her hands holding the gift box were a little hot. This young man seemed to be short of money.
The jade pendant is probably more valuable than the girl's jewelry box.
The girl also said that the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy, but it is just a thought! It seems that the girl is observant. Yesterday, she did not take a close look at the young man's dress.
"It's a trivial matter, it's just a misunderstanding. How can I take it to heart?" Gu Chengyu wanted to practice calligraphy for a while, but he didn't wake up this morning, so his calligraphy practice was delayed.
He picked up the tea bowl, opened the lid, skimmed off the floating leaves on the tea, and took a sip. Gao Ma knew that he was serving tea as a farewell, and was embarrassed to say any more.
She put the gift box in her hand on the table, smiled and said to Gu Chengyu: "This is a golden cake made by Lao Nu, and a mushroom and duck feet. These two dishes are Lao Nu's specialties. See Lao Nu
The young master is away from home, and he only has a young servant with him. I am afraid that he is not so meticulous in eating, so I wanted to bring him here so that the young master can have a taste of the old slave's craftsmanship."
Gao Mama didn't say it was okay, but when she mentioned Gu Chengyu, she thought of the food on the ship. The food on the ship didn't really taste that good. They were all big pot dishes. If you want to eat better, you have to pay extra, otherwise you will have to pay for it.
The servants borrowed the stove and cooked it themselves. But do Mingmo and the others know how to cook? Of course not.
Gu Chengyu was not picky about food, so he would just take a few bites when he was out. The food in the box was so delicious, it aroused the greed in his stomach.
"Thank you so much, Mama Gao!" This was not a valuable thing, so Gu Chengyu did not refuse.
In fact, Gao MaMa still had a red seal hidden in her sleeve, but she didn't take it out.
"Then I won't disturb the young master's rest. The girl is still waiting for my reply."
"Then we won't stay any longer. I'm afraid your girl will have to rest too!" Gu Chengyu said some polite words and asked Ming Mo to send him out.
Although the room where Gu Chengyu was located was on the ground floor, it had two rooms, an inside and an outside. Mingmo and the others lived in the outside room, and there was a small study room separated by a Bogu shelf.
Before Gao MaMa went out, she glanced at the study room and saw that there were some written words and paintings on it.
After Gao Mama left the house, Gu Chengyu took out the two dishes in the gift box. When she smelled them, they were indeed very fragrant. She was not full just now, and now she was even hungrier.
Gu Chengyu sighed while eating. She was better off as a mother-in-law from a wealthy family. She knew the rules, could serve others, and also had some skills.
Gao MaMa went upstairs and immediately entered the room where her daughter was. Yao Mengxian was sitting on the rose chair in the study reading a book.
"Girl! It's getting late, why are you still reading? Look carefully! Where is Qingdai? Why aren't you waiting here?" Gao Mama became a little dissatisfied with Qingdai, and this girl became more and more outrageous.
Yao Mengxian smiled and said: "I asked her to go back to the house to rest. There have been a lot of things in the past two days and she is very tired. I don't know if Lian Xin's body has recovered. Although she looks fine, she still needs to be treated.
Let me have a look."
Gao MaMa knew that her girl was changing the subject again, so she stopped talking about Qingdai.
"When we get to the next pier, I'd better ask a doctor to take a look at it. The pills seem to be very effective, but I'll rest assured after the doctor sees them."
After Gao MaMa finished speaking, she took out the red envelope from her sleeve and placed it on the desk.
Yao Mengxian looked at it and smiled. In fact, she had been prepared in her heart. That man looked like he was not short of money, so how could he ask for her money?
"My servant didn't take out the red envelope. The young master is looking at wealth! How can he think highly of our mere three hundred taels? Why not send some food to show your appreciation! The girl asked me to make some food and send it over. It's really right.
