Poor family rebirth girl

Chapter 217 Marriage can be done by someone (1)

The golden millet porridge, with a thick layer of rice oil floating on it, is extraordinarily fragrant.

Shen Huai was already tired, and his appetite was whetted by the aroma, so he ate two bowls of porridge in a row with dried shredded shredded vegetables and radish dishes that looked ordinary and tasted very homely.

For many days, this was his first meal on earth.

Seeing that Shen Huai's spirit gradually improved, Yan Shi was very relieved, and her slightly acidic arms also felt relieved.Thinking of him waking up from a serious illness and weak intestines and stomach, she cooked this pot of porridge with extra care. Not only did she cook the porridge slowly over a low fire, but she also stirred it non-stop, not daring to make a grain of rice sink to the bottom and smell burnt, which is normal. Where do you manage so much when cooking porridge?

But Shen Huai ate too deliciously, Yan Shi started to worry again.

"Okay, okay, this is enough for the time being, be careful about food accumulation." Seeing Shen Huai put down the empty bowl again, Yan quickly started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, "If you like to eat, I will boil it for you again." That’s it, I’m not happy to eat too much suddenly, my stomach can’t bear it.”

The chopsticks in Shen Huai's hand were taken away, and he watched the table being cleaned up, but he didn't dare to object, he touched his stomach and said, "It's all up to you."

As he spoke, he gave Su Ya a sad look.

Su Ya couldn't help laughing, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Have you had enough?"

Shen Huai nodded.

"Easy to handle." Su Ya bent down and picked up another food box from the ground, took out a white porcelain stew pot from inside, and put it in front of Shen Huai.

Shen Huai looked down at the exquisite stew pot with warm glaze, and sat still.

"Open it and taste it." Su Ya urged.

Shen Huai looked up at her, this little girl had a malicious expression on her face, almost writing the word "trap" on her face.

Well, let's play with her.

Shen Huai took the porcelain lid slowly, and the precious ingredients softened in the stew pot came out with aroma, which was definitely not the handwriting of Yan Shi or Su Ya.

"Where did it come from?"

"Given it by the pretty cook in the kitchen."

Hearing this, Shen Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Su Ya who bit the word "pretty" very clearly, a smile appeared in his eyes, but from the corner of his eye, he happened to see that Yan Shi had walked to the side of the green gauze cabinet, looking at her with concern. look over.

With a clever mind, he quickly threw the porcelain lid, put it on the stew pot crisply, and explained to Yan Shi: "Except for Caodu, I have no contact with anyone in Caodu's mansion."

Yan Shi was holding a rag in his hand, and he came in to wipe the table, but seeing Shen Huai as cute and careful as a puppy, he came over and poked Su Ya on the forehead, "Speak up!"

She wiped the table top twice neatly, and said, "Shen Huai, I was going to tell you about this."

She briefly talked about the things in the kitchen again, and said: "I have little knowledge, I don't know people's identities, and I'm afraid I'm too narrow-minded, and the cook in Cao Du's mansion should have a style. I So I thought about borrowing here and using the kitchen in the future, so I didn't refuse, and gave her a bowl of millet porridge in return—would it be too shabby?"

"No! It's too expensive!" Shen Huai said decisively: "You just follow your own mind, and if you don't want to pay attention, you can just be cold-faced, everything is up to me."

Su Ya snorted, "Isn't it because of you that everything is done without you, what kind of expensive stew would you send me?"

Shen Huai observed his words, and immediately called Gao Jun in, raised his chin to the stewing pot, "What's going on?"

Gao Jun went up to look into the stew pot, clicked his tongue and said, "This soup is worth the money, who gave it to you?"

Shen Huai said angrily: "Go and check the cook who was in the kitchen just now."

Gao Jun suddenly realized, "I mean, why are the rules in Cao Du's mansion quite strict, and men are not allowed in the vegetarian kitchen!" Thinking of this, his black face suddenly became darker, "I just guard against someone bullying Aunt Yan, I didn't expect someone to give you a gift! No wonder..."

Shen Huai said sharply: "No wonder why?"

"No wonder Qiu..." Gao Jun suddenly fell silent, glanced at Yan Shi, and swallowed half of the sentence, "No wonder the Qiu family has strict rules."

"What are you hesitating for?" After eating enough, he rushed forward with a sense of sleepiness, Shen Huai supported his forehead, and said impatiently, "Speak."

Gao Jun said: "When I went out, I saw a girl from the Qiu family spying outside the courtyard."

Su Ya was curious, "Which girl?"

Gao Jun observed Shen Huai's face secretly before replying: "You have seen it too, the one who likes to wear green clothes."

Yu Jie in green clothes accompanied Qiu Nianyun and had just returned to the boudoir.

He fetched water and washed Qiu Nianyun's hands, then daubed the balm and rubbed it carefully, "Miss, look at that woman, she is vulgar and ignorant, nine out of ten sentences she speaks to her are incomprehensible."

Qiu Nianyun hummed, "She is a woman from a military family, so it's not uncommon for her to be ignorant."

Yu Jie pursed her lips and said, "Then you can't give someone a bowl of millet porridge! Do you still think it's in their barracks? I'm afraid she will come over with a plate of pickles."

Qiu Nianyun laughed and said: "Okay, you always spare no effort when you ridicule people. If you meet again in the future, you still have to be careful to hide your meanness, and you must treat her with respect."

Yu Jie replied reluctantly: "Yes, this servant knows. But miss, why are you doing this, humiliating yourself and wronging yourself?"

Qiu Nianyun sighed: "I don't want to either, who made her give birth to such a majestic daughter... But Master Shen has suffered such a great crime, but they only give him the millet porridge, how can it be done?"

Yu Jie said: "Miss, don't worry, you have already made the soup yourself, the people around Mr. Shen know the goods, and they will definitely give him nourishment."

At this time, Bingqiao came in from the outside, holding a jewelry box in her hand, but her face was a little flustered, "Miss, madam called you over, probably because I heard about your joining the kitchen."

Qiu Nianyun was startled, and hurriedly asked: "How did it spread so quickly? Did my mother know again?"

Without waiting for Bingqiao's answer, she stomped her feet again and asked Yujie to quickly fetch the other two cups and send them to Mrs. Qiu's place. After tidying up briefly, she took Bingqiao to the main house.

"Mother, my daughter has made soup for you and Daddy, please try it."

Qiu Nianyun obediently took out the stew pot with his own hands, and handed the spoon to Mrs. Qiu.

"Well," Mrs. Qiu tasted it calmly, "the taste is not bad, it's no wonder you have such filial piety. It's just that it's too early for your father to come back, and by then—the soup should smell fishy."

Qiu Nianyun blushed and murmured, "Mother..."

Mrs. Qiu sighed, and put down the spoon, "Mother came here at your age, why didn't she understand the minds of young girls? So mother also supported you, but Shen Huai already had Su Ya who lived and died with her. "

Hearing this, Qiu Nianyun realized that Mrs. Qiu must have known about her smuggling of the stew, somehow, out of embarrassment, a sudden burst of grievance welled up in her heart, and she shouted again tremblingly: "Mother... "

Mrs. Qiu wiped the corner of her mouth lightly with her hand, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to be wronged, and listen to your mother to tell you a few things."

Qiu Nianyun bowed his head and replied, "...Yes."

Mrs. Qiu's voice is not as gentle as in the past, "Today's imperial decree arrives, with a deadline of one month to thoroughly investigate all the chaos in the past few months. In addition to the three legal departments stationed here, the Ministry of Officials has also begun to test the merits of officials at all levels. — Not to mention the four prefectures and three prefectures, most of the officials in the water transportation will also be replaced."

Qiu Nianyun raised his head suddenly, "Will that hurt Dad?"

Mrs. Qiu met her daughter's terrified gaze and asked, "Are you thinking about your father more, or are you afraid that like Miss Cao, you will fall into the quagmire like a phoenix overnight, and you can't help yourself and worry more?"

Qiu Nianyun was shocked and said: "Mother! Why do you ask your daughter like this? I miss Daddy!"

Mrs. Qiu: "Then if your father is in great trouble, you need to use marriage to solve your father's troubles like Miss Cao did, would you be willing?"
