Chapter 103
Aunt Ming turned around. She was washing vegetables, her hands were still wet with water, and she came over to take the basket from her hand.

The pearl was handed over very naturally, without the submissive look that the master or the second young master had when they were around.

Aunt Ming glanced at her one more time.

Pearl frowned slightly and said, "What are you looking at? Steam the hairy crabs here. I'll make the ginger-vinegar sauce."

She had already inquired about it when she was buying crabs from Hou Er.

Aunt Ming was stunned for only a moment, and soon she didn't care about her different expressions. She just said: "I have the ginger vinegar sauce specially made by Chef Lin that was sent by Zhenxiu Pavilion at home. It is still there, and it is getting more and more fragrant. "

So you don't have to do it.

Pearl, who was about to wash her hands, stopped, looked at Aunt Ming and said, "What do you mean, do you think I am of low origin and the things I make cannot be on the market?"

Aunt Ming smiled, looked outside, and said, "Miss Pearl, please keep your voice down. I am a man of great internal strength. He can hear any noise even a mile away."

Pearl's face stiffened, and her ugly face looked even more disgusting.

Aunt Ming carried the basket and walked to the stove, ignoring the poor woman who was rescued by the master.

It is said that the master has always liked to take care of weak women, and it was because of the master's kindness that she came to work here when her husband died and had no children.

There have been other girls in this small courtyard in the past, most of them were gentle and easy to talk to, and they all left after finding a place where they could settle down.

Some still live in the capital and often come back to have a look.

There were so many people coming and going, but none of them was as double-faced as this Pearl Girl!You've only been here a few days and you actually want to be her master?

Although Aunt Ming is also a servant of Xiaoyuaner, she is very unconvinced by this pearl.

She stopped Pearl with one word, and Pearl didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. After saying a few polite words, she made a pot of jasmine tea and took it outside.

Yin Feiqiao picked up a cup of tea, toasted to the new and old man, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you today, if it weren't for your face, even if I asked with gems, the man named Fang would not agree to heal Yuzhu. "

Yuzhu's illness has always been a taboo for the world, what's more, she is a brothel woman.

The new old man drank tea and said, "I won't stay for dinner, I have to go back."

Yin Feiqiao has long been accustomed to the closeness between old friends, and they can eat together without eating separately.

When leaving Fang's house, the old man Fang Qi also gave him a bottle of topical medicine. Yin Feiqiao picked it up and said, "I'll give you a ride and go to Qianhuaxiang on the way."

Send the medicine to Yuzhu.

Pearl stood nearby, watching as the master tried to leave again as if he hadn't seen her.

What jade beads?
She wanted to see what kind of vixen he was.Not long after the master returned to Beijing, his heart was completely captured.

----

After arriving at the government office, Xin Nuo left Xiao Shan to do his own thing. Carrying a full basket, she walked on the cobblestone path to the pavilion by the lake.

She has been decorating this place for the past two days, and misty white gauze is hung around the gazebo, and when she steps on the small wooden bridge, she can see the figure inside.

"Master?" Xin Nuo walked over with a basket, and was surprised to see Chu Wei sitting on a low couch correcting official documents, "Why are you here?"

Chu Wei raised his head and nodded at her, saying: "The decoration here is good, with cool breeze blowing, it is a good place for office directors."

Throwing the book aside, he asked again: "What did you buy?"

"Mint."

"Purple Hydrangea."

First she took out the flowers and plants she bought, followed by some ornaments that she picked out only when she was dazzled.In fact, there were several seafood shops in that vegetable market, and they sold a lot of ornaments, but for some reason, they just didn't suit her taste.

After a piece of fresh venison was taken out, there was a pile of strange shells at the bottom of the basket.

"Why do you buy so many clam shells?" Chu Wei was really confused.

Xinnuo picked up one, shook it, and said with a smile, "I'll go back and glue a pen holder for adults."

Chu Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

After looking at the things she bought, she said, "There are very few high-quality ones out there. Take me home to find some for you."

Xin Nuo was not polite at all and said: "I want something beautiful and cute."

"it is good."

Xinnuo didn't eat barbecue that day because the oven wasn't ready yet, so the piece of venison was sent to the kitchen first and asked the cook to cook it for everyone.

The grilled barbecue is slightly charred and shiny, and it is very delicious when sprinkled with simple cumin salt powder.

Xinnuo's lips were moist after eating, and he was still shaking his head, while a low laughter came from the side.

It's the big brother.

Both of them were eating in the pavilion. The eldest brother sat on the low couch, and Xinnuo sat on the carpet on the ground. He looked up and took another bite.

Chu Wei smiled slightly and pointed to the half of the roasted venison left on the plate, "These are for you to eat."

There is a cook in the mansion who is very good at cooking roasted meat. Even the most unpalatable pork is cooked golden, soft and tender, and very delicious. Moreover, the spice powder prepared by that cook is not comparable to that of the cook in the government office.

I can bring some to her tomorrow.

I heard the girl ask: "Sir, don't you like this?"

Chu Wei said: "It's not bad."

Xin Nuo: "It's not good to be picky about food." Even so, she moved to the side of the couch and put half of the plate of roasted meat on her plate.

In fact, one portion is not much, and Xin Nuo is not afraid of filling up.

She asked: "What do adults like to eat?"

Chu Wei thought for a while and said, "Anything is fine, there's nothing I particularly like."

so boring?

Xin Nuo said: "From now on, I will give you all the food I like to eat, and maybe you will find something you like to eat."

"Yeah," Chu Wei agreed, feeling very good.

At this moment, Zhang Ku ran over with brisk steps and a cheerful face, and said: "Sir, someone reported outside that a blood demon addicted to time and flesh was treated yesterday. It seems that there are people from the Qianji Sect over there. , maybe the entire Thousand Machines Sect’s lair is here.”

Chu Wei didn't show any signs of being overjoyed. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Take a team of officers and go take a look. If there are many people on the other side, hide and observe their movements."

Xin Nuo was confused: "Do we still need to mobilize soldiers from the city defense camp?"

Chu Wei stood up and said, "The Thousand Machines Sect has a huge force. I thought they had fled far away, but unexpectedly they are still lingering near the capital. They must have someone to rely on. They are all capable, so it is safer to send out sergeants."

He said and walked out. Zhang Ku had already received the order and went down first. Xin Nuo followed him holding his own bowl.

Chu Wei stopped and turned to look at her, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xin Nuo said: "I am your secretary, so naturally I have to go with you."

She positions herself as a secretary.

There is a position of military secretary in the imperial court. Those who can hold this position are all ministers who are deeply trusted by the emperor. There will be nothing new in the future to be parachuted into the cabinet.

Chu Wei smiled and said: "You will definitely decide a position for yourself. Well, stay at the government office. You don't need to follow me this time."

"Do you think I'm useless?" Xin Nuo frowned.

"No," Chu Wei stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her head, "Qianji Sect is dangerous, you can't take risks."

Aren’t you saying I’m useless?
Chu Wei smiled, raised the corners of his eyes, softened his eyebrows, and said, "Take a good look at the house."

Then he rubbed the top of her hair with more force, turned around and strode away.

Xinnuo is not the kind of person who insists on following her even if he is not allowed to follow him. Chu Wei took a few steps, looked back, and said again: "Look at home."

In the evening, Xinnuo knew why Chu Wei didn't let her go with him, because even Zhang Ku, who left with the guards at the beginning, didn't come back.

Xin Nuo waited until all the shops in the inner city were lit up, then took the pony assigned to her by the government office and left back to Cheng's house.

From the outer city to the inner city, big red lanterns are hung at the door of every house, almost all the way across the city.

When they were about to turn to the street where Cheng Mansion was located, a carriage came out first. Xin Nuo didn't pay much attention until it passed by, and the crimson curtains of the carriage were opened by a big hand with sharp bones.

Under the dim light, a face as handsome as a star appeared, "Little junior sister, why did you go home?"

Now she is working in the government office, and Yuan Chen also knows about it.

Xinnuo was curious, "Why did you come out of that street? Did you go to Cheng's house?"

"I asked first," Yuan Chen said.

It's too childish.

Xin Nuo then replied: "The government office has something to do, so it's a little late. What about you?"

"Xue Yao ordered his subordinates to send a message, and I will come over to take a look."

He was probably a gentle person to the core. Even though he knew that Cheng Xueyao was not the one who gave him the agate stone, he didn't seem so distant when he called her.

"It seems that you still plan to take care of Cheng Xueyao's affairs." Xin Nuo was a little unhappy.

In her case, if you want to be a relative or a good friend with her, you can't stand on Cheng Xueyao's side at the same time.

"Look at your face, it's wrinkled like a walnut." Yuan Chen said and came out from the car curtain again and said: "Come up and have a dinner at my place. Zhenhuo Pavilion has just come to a big chef who is good at Huaiyang cuisine. The chef is good at making sweet and sour fish."

"No, the Cheng family's curfew is earlier than the city's curfew." Xinnuo was about to leave.

Yuan Chen smiled and said: "By the way, I have something to remind you. Miss Xueyao asked me for a favor." After a pause on purpose, he asked, "Do you want to know?"

Xinnuo turned around: "You're not going to deal with me, are you?"

Yuan Chen shook his head, "From what she said, you made her feel very troublesome. So she wanted to marry a high-ranking man and then turn against you."

Xinnuo didn't believe that Cheng Xueyao was such a good pretender. Could she possibly say that?

Yuan Chen smiled and said, "I understand this. Of course she said it more beautifully."

After clearing the fog in front of him, he found that Cheng Xueyao was so self-righteous that people could not help but laugh at any time.

Xinnuo: "Then what kind of help did she ask you to do? She asked you to guess so much."

Yuan Chen smiled and said: "She said that she was having a hard time in the Cheng Mansion. Not only was the maid in her courtyard now, but she was also sick and was not qualified to ask a doctor to come in. So she wanted me to send her some medicine. Among these prescriptions, there are exactly three or four kinds that can be used to prepare an aphrodisiac."

"It's obvious what she wants to do."

"When you stay in Cheng's residence, it is inevitable that you will participate in the banquet. In case I guess wrong, you should pay more attention to yourself."

Xin Nuo didn't expect him to say such words, so she nodded.

"Second Senior Brother, are you heartbroken now?"

Yuan Chen couldn't help laughing and said to Xinnuo, "You are indeed what Master said. Sometimes people really want to beat you."

His laughter echoed through the clean streets of the inner city and carried far away in the night wind.

In the Cheng Mansion with many pavilions, in the Xiayun Courtyard, the maid was waiting for Cheng Xueyao to wash up, and said as if watching a show: "The second young lady hasn't come back yet."

"There are no rules for young ladies at all," the maid who was filling the water beside said, "I don't know why you are so active in being the second young lady? Out of guilt, the master and his wife wronged our young lady to give in,"

"If you can't speak, don't say it," the big maid scolded, reached out to take the water bottle in the maid's hand, and drove him out.

The bathroom was finally clean. Cheng Xueyao stepped into the sandalwood tub, lay down in the warm water, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll check with her later to see if her grandmother or father has scolded her."

The eldest maid responded, adding hot water to Cheng Xueyao's hair, and asked: "Miss, will Mr. Yuan bring the food?"

In fact, those medicines are not difficult for young ladies to obtain.

Danzhu didn't quite understand why the young lady wanted Mr. Yuan to send her away.

Of course, she didn't want to be involved with such dirty things at all. Cheng Xueyao didn't say anything, she just said: "I'll come over to Jingsi tomorrow. I have something to tell her."

She wants to realize her plan, but she also has to look like others framed her.

Only then can she marry the one she loves cleanly.

----

Although Xin Nuo knew that Cheng Xueyao was going to be a monster again, she just asked her second senior brother to replace the medicine she asked for with moldy and ineffective ones.

Then she wanted to see if Cheng Xueyao was really going to make an aphrodisiac and take it herself.

It was a little late when I got home today. Xinnuo's walk to the Liyuan was interrupted halfway. He was then taken to the old lady's Songheyuan and was scolded.

Only this time, Xin Nuo always heard Mrs. Cheng's words filled with insinuations.

It went in the left ear and out the right ear, and I listened for half an hour before I was able to leave.

In the night, Xinnuo looked back at Songhe Courtyard, which was full of lights. For a moment, Xinnuo felt that Cheng Mansion was not interesting at all, so he would leave after seeing Cheng Xueyao make a big fool of himself?

The next day, I woke up early. I had golden millet porridge, sour pickled cucumbers, and milky steamed buns made by my grandpa. I was full and full of energy for another day.

Xin Nuo jumped off the horse humming a little tune, and in front of him was Team Leader Zhao, who was hurriedly walking to the government office.

"Team leader Zhao," Xin Nuo stopped the person and asked, "What's the matter with being so anxious?"

Captain Zhao turned around to greet him, "New girl. Just now, Captain Zhao sent word that many of the brothers who were rounding up the Qianji Cult were injured and will be back in an hour at the latest. I have to have the doctor and the police come back first." The medicine is all arranged.”
