Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 439
"I only found out these news after inquiring with the boy next to Xie Bin. It seems that no one is spreading gossip outside."

"That's right, not everyone dares to tell the news about the Imperial City Division. If Chef Xie hadn't asked them to take it away, even the Xie family wouldn't have inquired about it."

While talking, Qiu Li shook her head, her mouth was dry and she quickly scooped up some more water to drink.

Gu Xiang frowned and pondered for a while, then came back to his senses and said helplessly: "How can a girl drink cold all day long? There is always hot soup on the stove, you can just fill a bowl and drink it."

Cherry just brought soup to her sister at this time, and she rolled her eyes when she heard this, "She has been impatient since she was a child, and her personality is not at all the same as her face."

The looks of the two sisters, Qiu Li, is beautiful and gentle, with straight eyebrows and eyes that make people feel affectionate at first glance. Even though she has always shown people with a sharp tongue in the past few years, she was even a bit mean to the outside world. , still can't hide the slender and weak figure in the sky.

If the idiot third son of the Li family was rescued once, he wanted to take Qiuli as his concubine, and it was more or less because of her appearance.

Cherry has a lively temperament, but her brows and eyes are a little cold.If she doesn't speak, outsiders will see a serious and cold beauty.

Of course, as soon as she opened her mouth, the frost-like temperament disappeared completely. Little Cherry's eyebrows were beaming when she spoke, and there was no place on her face that was so cold?
Miss Xixi also pampered them, and when teaching them, she never corrected these characters, which logically were completely incompatible with places like 'Xihuan Pavilion'.

It is Qiuli and Cherry's blessing to meet Miss Xixi at the worst time in their lives.

Gu Xiang felt that she should thank Miss Xixi well.

They have protected the little girl under their wings for many years, and taught them a lot of things seriously, teaching reading, teaching literacy, teaching how to behave, and cultivating people to the same level. Gu Xiang came over and picked the ripe peaches from the family without saying a word .

"It's still Miss Xixi's atmosphere."

If it was Gu Xiang, he wouldn't be so angry, but at least he would be half dead.

A little distracted, Gu Xiang yawned, and heard Qiuli and Yingying chattering together about Xie Chu being kidnapped by the people from the Imperial City Division

"Oh, what kind of people are there in the Imperial City Division? Everyone is vicious and domineering. If others want to eat delicious food, they can go to a restaurant at worst! People from the Imperial City Division will not do it! Send someone to bring the chef over to cook, and if he can’t do it well, he will be locked up in the cell, tortured and served, hum, if he is satisfied with the meal, then he will be locked up and only serve them, and want to go out? No way! What is that place, is it? Can you come in and out at will? Hey, pitiful, I’m afraid Xie Chu will be imprisoned in such a small place from now on, weeping every day in tears, and he can’t even go out! What the people of the imperial city department want to eat, others think about it Just touch it, it's impossible!"

Gu Xiang: "Pfft!"

After a long time of trouble, His Majesty's confidants, it is said that the Secretary of the Imperial City, who knows everything about the earth and half of the heavens, and everyone in the upper and lower levels are foodies, and the imperial dining room in the palace is not enough for them to trouble them. ?
"Ahem, if it is said that the golden chef is good at meat, I should be counted as one. Xie Chu is good at fish, but he may not be able to beat me when it comes to mutton. Besides, I can also cook fish. Could my fish balls be worse than his steamed sea bass?"

Gu Xiang laughed.

Qiuli and Cherry were particularly startled, looking at each other in blank dismay, their minds in turmoil.

Cherry was even more anxious and turned around in circles: "What should I do? Or...the little lady will go back to Li's house for a while to avoid? Ah, the Xie family may be lower than the Li family in terms of status, but in terms of confidence and connections, the Xie family is not Not bad, even Xie Chudu...the Li family is probably useless."

Gu Xiang laughed: "Little Cherry, I must be joking!"

Cherry pursed her mouth: "I'm afraid—"

"Little lady!"

Before Yingying finished speaking, the old dog outside hurried over and knocked on the door, "A few officials came outside, they said they were from the Imperial City Department, and they wanted to invite the young lady to cook a meal for them."

Qiuli and Cherry: "..."

Gu Xiang was also surprised for a moment, but when he turned around, seeing Qiuli and Cherry's tears hanging on their long eyelashes, he said speechlessly: "Stop thinking about it, if you think about it, I'm afraid the wind won't be able to catch up with your imagination .”

Shaking his head, he told Qiuli and Cherry a few words, telling them not to delay the business, then took the knives and seasoning box he was used to, and went out the gate.

Standing at the gate were two soldiers from the Imperial City Division. They were far from being as vicious as Qiu Li and the others described. They also had a bookish face and a peaceful appearance.

Most of the people in the Imperial City Division are engaged in intelligence work. Gu Xiangshen feels that unless they are required by special missions, most of the people in their line of work should be the kind of ordinary-looking people who will disappear in the crowd type.

The two soldiers greeted Gu Xiang into the car first, and then said briefly: "I'm really bothering the lady, we plan to order a table meal, there is no upper limit on the price, the lady can do it on her own, after the meal is finished, no matter what the diners eat If you don’t eat it, I’ll give you 1000 taels as a service fee.”

Gu Xiang agreed without saying a word.

Qiu Li chased after her, and seeing her little lady got into the carriage happily, she immediately held the door, her face was exhausted, her expression was horrible.

After being stunned for a while, he quickly called Laogou and the others, and brought a few brothers to follow.

At the beginning, Li Chengyu, the little lady of the Li family, was tricked into getting into the car by someone pretending to be her driver, but not too long ago, even after checking the badges of those people, they did not dare to let their little lady go with others at will.

Seeing that Xue Ying followed, Qiu Li sat down slowly and exhaled.

Gu Xiang leaned on the window and looked out. The carriage was not going slowly, but it was not heading towards the palace gate. It went straight to Wuyue Temple, turned a corner from the back door, and entered an old alley, which was said to be an alley , The two-horse carriage is actually spacious.

The alley is quite quiet, occasionally the soldiers of the Imperial City Division can be seen patrolling the surroundings, Gu Xiang asked with a smile, "Do you need me to cover my eyes?"

The soldier driving the car smiled: "How dare you be so contemptuous? This is the residence of Yang Jing, the marriage officer of our Imperial City Department. It is not an official office, so there is nothing to keep secret."

Not long after the carriage stopped, Gu Xiang jumped out of the carriage. There was a black painted gate in front of her. There were no lions and wild animals in front of the gate, and the paint surface was also mottled. It looked very old. Before she entered the gate, there was a loud shout from the yard. :"roll!"

Gu Xiang: "..."

The soldiers leading the way were also a little embarrassed: "You didn't scare Gu Chu, did you? Just ignore him, that man took the wrong medicine."

Gu Xiang smiled: "It's not wrong to eat it, I see this young man's face, it's just right to eat some Coptis chinensis."

The soldier was stunned: "I don't think so, Gu Chu can tell fortunes?"

The one inside who was jumping and cursing had indeed just poured a pot of Coptis chinensis in the morning.
