Chapter 236 Why is it so difficult to serve?
Si Hongming smiled apologetically, with sweat dripping from his head.

"I'm sorry Miss Chi, old man, I'm getting old, so it's inevitable that I'm a little slow in my actions." He panted a little, his old voice was hoarse and not very nice.

'Chi Ning' took a step back in disgust, and raised her hand to cover her nose without taboo. "What's the smell on you, it's really bad!"

Si Hongming's old face flushed with embarrassment, he took a step back consciously, and said with a smile: "I'm getting old, this is probably what people often say old people look like, I'm really sorry, it's bothering you."

"Huh!" 'Chi Ning' couldn't take it anymore, and fanned the tip of her nose with her hands. "If you stay away from me, I really can't stand the smell on your body. I used to be at home and if the servant who served me had a little smell, I would have sent someone to beat him out."

Si Hongming was so embarrassed that he took a few steps back, embarrassed and cautiously asked: "Is this position okay?"

Thinking that Chi Ning's change was due to not adapting to the environment, the old man didn't think much about it, and suspected that 'Chi Ning' disliked him.

"Just barely." 'Chi Ning' pointed to the well not far away, "Go over and fetch some water."

"Okay, okay!" Si Hongming dragged his slightly bowed and old body towards the well.

Cui Yixuan was about to cry and shook her head, "Sister, Xuan'er is not thirsty anymore!"

'Chi Ning' frowned, "Are you thirsty or not?"

She whispered, "Why is it so difficult to serve?"

Cui Yixuan took a sour breath and shrank her neck. "I, I'm still thirsty!"

Not daring to stay with 'Chi Ning', the little girl fled for her life and ran over to hug Si Hongming.

'Chi Ning' kept rolling her eyes, it was just right not to disturb her, thinking of what Feng Shengheng had explained, she walked towards the kitchen.

When the grandpa and grandson came to the well, Si Hongming rubbed the little girl's head and said cheerfully, "Xuan'er is good, go play on the side, grandpa wants to fetch water."

Cui Yixuan hugged the old man's thigh and shook her little head. "Xuan'er is not thirsty, grandpa doesn't need to fetch water! My sister is so strange, does she not like Xuan'er anymore?"

Si Hongming squatted down and said patiently: "Sister doesn't dislike Xuan'er, it's just that she's in a bad mood for a while, and she'll be fine in two days. Xuan'er is so cute, how can anyone not like Xuan'er?" Woolen cloth!"

"Really?" Cui Yixuan was confused.

"Of course it's true. Hurry up and play with the two little brothers. Grandpa fetches some water first." Si Hongming patted the little boy's soft face lightly.

Cui Yixuan made a small face, "Xuan'er wants to stay with Grandpa!"

"Cheng Chengcheng, then Xuan'er will obediently stay by the side with grandpa." Si Hongming squinted his eyes with joy.

After settling down the little girl, the old man took the old wooden barrel and threw it into the well. He grabbed the obviously burr rope and scooped it up for a long time before he got a little water. Holding a breath, he pulled the rope up with his neck stuck and blushing.

The man was old and panting, and couldn't pull up the half bucket of water. Cui Xingjue, who had finished the roof, came to help and easily pulled up the half bucket of water.

"Mr. Si, it's good that you stay with the little ones, and call us directly for the heavy work at hand."

Si Rongbang, who had put down the wooden ladder, came and helped his sweaty old father to sit aside. "That's right, Dad, you're getting old, don't force yourself to do hard work, it's not good to be shy for a while."

Si Hongming couldn't do even a small move to scoop up water, so Si Hongming had to give in and sighed. "People are old, people are old, people are old."

He repeated it three times, his brows filled with regret. "What should you young people do? The second prince is coming in a menacing manner now, and I'm afraid he won't let you off easily."

When he said this, he focused on Cui Xingjue.

With a calm expression, Cui Xingjue scooped up some water and fed it to Cui Yixuan, and said calmly, "Let nature take its course."

Si Rongbang didn't want the atmosphere to be too depressing, he laughed and said: "Yes, let it be, it's no big deal, Dad, don't think too much, you have a son here, besides, Young Master Cui and Miss Chi won't ignore us!"

Si Hongming sighed, waved his hands and didn't want to say anything more. Seeing that life has a little hope, and now he has been beaten back to his original shape. He has a daughter who has not left the court and a son who has no future. It is a lie to say that he has no worries.

As soon as 'Chi Ning' stepped into the kitchen, she receded due to the dust and musty smell in the room, "Um" she coughed while covering her nose.

Muser, who was cleaning, poked his head out and apologized deeply: "Madam, this servant is cleaning, you can come in later."

"You should be gentle, tell me in advance!"'Chi Ning' lowered her face, nothing was going well, she patted the hem of her clothes, for fear of getting dust on her clothes.

Muser felt guilty, "Slave servant, please be gentle, madam, stay away!"

"Hurry up, I still have something to do!" 'Chi Ning' stepped aside and urged.

Muser retracted his head and continued to work, not realizing the change in Chi Ning.

Having nothing to do, 'Chi Ning' looked up at the blue sky, even if her neck was sore, she didn't want to lower her head, because the environment was so bad, it would be a shame to take one more look, and she just wanted to get the golden treasure map as soon as possible Hurry up and get out of this crappy place, she will feel dirty if she stays for another day.

Soon Muser cleaned up the kitchen, and 'Chi Ning' twisted his sore neck and resisted stepping into the kitchen.

The kitchen is small, rudimentary, and dark, only relying on the open small wooden window for ventilation and lighting.

'Chi Ning' scanned around, her disgust was not concealed at all, she instructed Muser. "You, come here and search to see what's in the wooden cabinet."

Muser informed, "Ma'am, the servants looked at it when they were cleaning just now, but there was nothing."

"If you don't have anything, how will you cook for a while?" 'Chi Ning' is in a hurry and can't cook, how will she drug Cui Xingjue for a while?

"Maybe I will have a big pot meal with everyone." Muser guessed, "Madam, don't worry, the servant will sneak out to bring you some food later."

"No, who cares about your little food, I want to cook, I want to cook!"'Chi Ning' was impatient, feeling that she was out of luck!
Muser tentatively asked: "The slave girl went out secretly to find some rice for you?"

"Hurry up!" 'Chi Ning' stared.

Muser scratched his head, feeling that this lady was different from the one just now.

At this moment, Si Jingshu walked into the kitchen happily carrying a bamboo basket, and said to 'Chi Ning': "Miss Chi, just now an officer and soldier handed me this basket, which is for food, and he said yes Young Master Chi told me that it was probably your elder brother who came, and the officer even said that he would help us loosen our shackles later!"

'Chi Ning' glanced at the things in the bamboo basket, there were polished rice, some lean meat and vegetables, she thought that Feng Shengheng was helping her in the name of her brother, her heart warmed up, and her irritability eased a bit.

She didn't waste any more time, directing Muser and Si Jingshu.

"Don't be idle, both of you, hurry up and cook the rice. Remember, you have to cook porridge."

"Okay!" Muther agreed.

Si Jingshu's smile froze, she gave Muser a curious look, and asked Chi Ning what's wrong?
Because Chi Ning, who usually cooks, doesn't know how to pretend to be her. Firstly, she dislikes other people's cooking, and secondly, she wants to cook some nutritious food for the three little guys.
