Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 1182
After seeing off Cheng Haoxuan and Tian Xuan, Lin Yuan brought Narcissus and Ginkgo to Yimingxuan.

As soon as you enter the door, you can hear the guests in the lobby clapping happily.

The corners of Lin Yuan's lips could not help but rise slightly, she raised her eyes to look at Daye who was telling a story vigorously, and nodded appreciatively.

Today's "Journey to the West" has already talked about stealing ginseng fruit. Wukong is the three brothers who have already eaten the ginseng fruit that they have been thinking about in yesterday's story. In today's story, it is Wukong who is looking for a cure The fruit tree thing.

Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the ginseng fruit.This handsome and human-like little fruit was sought after by everyone as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Originally, Lin Yuan also planned to make human-shaped small fruits or snacks to satisfy the guests' chasing psychology, but after much deliberation, she still felt that it was inappropriate.

Just like the monk Tang in the story, most of the people in Dayong still think that eating such things will be punished by heaven.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan was quick-witted, and changed the small human-shaped fruit into a small gourd-shaped snack, and then symbolically wrote three words on it, "ginseng fruit".

This kind of thing that seems to be a bit of a deal, unexpectedly, is still sought after by the common people, and the sales are very hot.

Lin Yuan took the narcissus ginkgo all the way up to the third floor. In addition to everyone's interest and praise for ginseng fruit, the most mentioned one was "Tang monk meat".

As soon as he mentioned this Tang monk meat, the smile on the corner of Lin Yuan's lips couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

She remembers that when she was a child, she ate the most Tang Monk meat. At that time, she joked with her friends, saying that she could eat several bags of Tang Monk meat every day that the monsters in "Journey to the West" could not eat. So happy.

There are also friends who will hold up the Tang monk meat in their hands, and shout happily while eating: "I have eaten Tang monk meat, I have eaten Tang monk meat, I can live forever!"

This Tang Monk meat, which is available to everyone, is actually the common spicy strips.

Before that, Lin Yuan made spicy strips and sold them at Daohuaxiangli in Zhuma Town. Although there was no Tang Monk meat and "Journey to the West" at that time, the spicy strips were still loved by customers.

In fact, eating too much of these spicy strips is easy to get angry, so Lin Yuan couldn't eat them often when she was a child.

No, when she just went upstairs, she met a mother who was reprimanding her gluttonous son, forbidding him to eat more Tang Monk meat.

But the child's words made the people around him burst into laughter.

He said: "Mother, what I eat is the meat of Tang Priest, and it can live forever. I am immortal, will I still get fire and get aphthous ulcers? Tang Priest is so powerful, and I have no pain after eating his meat. Mother You eat too!"

The young mother was dumbfounded by her son's words. The child was too young to know that the plots in the story were all fake, but she was an adult, so why didn't she know?
However, when he heard that the child was so eager to let himself eat the meat of Tang Monk, which can not only live for a hundred years but also relieve illness, he was very relieved to take a bite of the spicy strips in his hand, which made the child clap his hands happily. Shouting, saying that my mother can live a hundred years and live forever!

Lin Yuan was touched by the little happiness of the mother and child, and her pace involuntarily slowed down. Thinking of her parents, younger siblings, the smile and happiness on her face were brighter and warmer than the warm winter sun.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Ming has followed up with Xiaohuan.It was Lin Yuan who asked Ginkgo to call Mrs. Ming over.

Seeing the two of them, the smile on Lin Yuan's face immediately disappeared. Seeing Madam Ming's puzzled face, she followed her more cautiously, wondering if there was anything she could do with her recent errands. It's a good place that makes the owner unhappy.

Several people came to the accounting room on the third floor. This is the room Lin Yuan left alone in Yimingxuan. Settle down in this room.

After entering the door, Lin Yuan sat in the chair without saying a word.

Mrs. Ming watched her expression carefully, feeling uneasy in her heart, but she tried to keep calm on the face.

Seeing that Lin Yuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Ming finally stood up and asked, "My master asked my slave to come over, but what's the matter?"

"There is indeed something."

Lin Yuan didn't look at her, but instead looked at Xiaohuan, who was following Madam Ming with her head lowered.

"Xiaohuan, didn't you tell your wife about the good things you did?"

Lin Yuan's tone was as cold as ice, Xiaohuan's body trembled immediately, her legs were also limp, and she knelt on the ground with a plop.

The sound of her knee touching the ground made Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

"My master, my master, my servant, my servant..."

Seeing Xiaohuan so frightened that she couldn't speak, Mrs. Ming was even more frightened. Xiaohuan, a maid, was brought out from her natal family by herself. She has been by her side for more than ten years and has always been loyal. What's the matter, did you offend Lin Yuan?
"East..."

"Mrs. Ming doesn't need to talk anymore, let me talk about it!"

Before Madam Ming could open her mouth, Lin Yuan interrupted her first. As soon as she raised her little hand, Narcissus removed the veil covering the things in her hand, revealing the box inside.

Seeing this box, Mrs. Ming suddenly opened her eyes wide, and said subconsciously: "This, isn't this my box? Why, why is it in the owner's hands?"

In Narcissus's hand was a small lacquered mahogany dressing box. This box had been with Mrs. Ming for eight years. It was given to her by her mother when she got married.

Although it has been a long time, but because Mrs. Ming cherishes it and always takes care of it carefully, the box still looks very new, except for a piece of paint on the lower left corner, which was dropped by her husband when she quarreled with her. of.

Xiaohuan fell on the ground without saying a word.

Lin Yuan looked at her, then at Mrs. Ming, and sighed for a long time: "Madam, it is said that Xiaohuan is your dowry maid? Alas, such a goofy thing appeared beside Madam. I am really sad for Madam."

Eat inside and out?

Mrs. Ming was even more confused. She still remembered that Xiaohuan had told her before that the box was still in her hands to keep it safe. How could it be related to eating inside and outside?

"Narcissus, take it to Madam to see if there are any jewelry inside?"

Narcissus answered yes, and brought the box in front of Mrs. Ming, asking her to examine it.

Mrs. Ming swallowed her saliva, an inexplicable embarrassment flashed through her heart, but she opened it with a forced smile.

Inside the box lay a few strings of necklaces and a few jade bracelets.

These jewelry were the dowry of her natal family when she got married. Originally, a box was full, but later, because her husband failed in business, she had already pawned almost all the jewelry in the box, and now there is only less than half of it left.

There are not many things, Mrs. Ming can tell at a glance, she nodded and said with a smile: "There are not many things."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan seemed to be relieved, but her eyes fixed on Xiaohuan who was kneeling on the ground again, and said coldly: "Fortunately, there are a lot of things. If there is one thing missing, I see you How can the maid explain to your wife!"

Xiaohuan's body shook even more violently, and her voice choked up.

Mrs. Ming was still in the fog at this time, a little confused, so she couldn't help asking.

"Ugh!"

Lin Yuan sighed, pointed to Narcissus and said, "That's it. I drew some jewelry shapes and asked Narcissus to take them to the jewelry shop on the corner to order. This girl went, but I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance."

She pointed to Xiaohuan on the ground again with her eyes, the meaning was obvious, this acquaintance was Xiaohuan in front of her.

What happened next was what Narcissus said: "The servant girl is quite familiar with her, but when Xiaohuan saw the servant girl, instead of saying hello, she turned around and ran away in a hurry. The servant girl felt that there was something strange, so she asked the person in the jewelry shop. Xiaohuan was carrying this box to the jewelry shop to sell jewelry! The servant girl heard that the shop maid said that these things are very valuable, and it must not be something that a little maid can take out. After seeing her, I found out after asking, that this box belongs to you, madam!"

what? !

Madam Ming's body froze, her lips were tightly pursed, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

Lin Yuan saw her expression, but pretended not to know, and asked, "Ma'am, you didn't ask her to sell jewelry, did you? Is the salary I gave you not enough for you? Or, did you meet What's the problem?"

Mrs. Ming quickly shook her head in denial, and the panic in her eyes became more serious.

Lin Yuan felt a little pain in her heart, but she smiled and said, "I don't think so, this girl has already told me that she secretly took your jewelry to sell. So, today I brought this box to look for you , I hope Madam can see the people around her clearly, and don't be deceived."

Madam Ming's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak after all.

Lin Yuan looked at Xiaohuan, and said again: "This girl is indeed a bold one. I asked her to come back and talk to you about this matter, but she kept it a secret. It seems that she can't stay by my side anymore. But, after all, she It's your dowry maid, it's up to you whether to drive her away or not. However, I, Yimingxuan, can't keep such a person who eats inside and out, so please take this girl back, madam, and don't let her log in again. The door of Yi Ming Xuan is closed."

"This this……"

Mrs. Ming faltered, holding the jewelry box with trembling hands, pleading with Xiaohuan again and again, but no matter how much she pleaded, Lin Yuan would not let her go and let her stay in Yimingxuan.

Madam Ming wanted to persuade her again, but Xiaohuan secretly tugged at the corner of her clothes and shook her head slightly.

Madam Ming's heart was pierced by a knife, and her eyes turned red.

Xiaohuan is only 17 years old this year, but she has been by her side for ten years. She has always been loyal and loyal, and entrusts her to handle all kinds of things.

Where is there such a thing as a trickster stealing the master's jewelry to sell?This matter was entirely her instigation.

Now that the family is in a difficult situation, Mrs. Ming's own wages are all used to pay off the debts. Coupled with the extravagance of her husband and concubine, the family's money is almost exhausted.

That's why she reluctantly took out her dowry jewelry and let Xiaohuan pawn it.

Mrs. Ming is a very strong woman, she doesn't want others to look down on her, and she doesn't want others to tell her husband to live off his wife's dowry all day long, that's why Xiaohuan keeps her mouth shut.

It's just that she didn't expect Lin Yuan to bump into this incident by coincidence.

It was originally a matter of saving face, but it became Xiaohuan's life-threatening killer.If today's incident is publicized, how will Xiaohuan behave in Yimingxuan?

Yimingxuan is full of women, even if Lin Yuan doesn't let her stay in Yimingxuan, there are so many people, it's hard to guarantee that no one will hear the news in the place where they live now.

In this matter, the ultimate victim was Xiaohuan, but Xiaohuan thoughtfully told her not to intercede, and silently took all the blame.

How could she not feel pain in her heart?This is Xiaohuan who she treats as her own sister!

Madam Ming bit her lips tightly, her face was pale, and she said firmly: "Master, you misunderstood, this jewelry, this jewelry was actually sold by Xiaohuan, she said that the price given by the pawn shop was too low. Let her go to the jewelry store and ask. She really didn't steal it, so the owner can keep her in Yimingxuan, don't drive her away!"

Mrs. Ming burst into tears, earnestly, Xiaohuan's mouth curled up, and she burst into tears.

Looking at the master and servant in front of her, Lin Yuan felt a pain in her heart. This poor pair of master and servant really think about each other!

Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Lin Yuan pretended to be surprised and asked, "So it's you, madam? Then, is madam in trouble? If you need money, you can come to me. Why did you think of selling jewelry?" Woolen cloth?"

Madam Ming suddenly raised her head, but she didn't dare to meet Lin Yuan's gaze.

Narcissus Ginkgo is also an insider, looking at Mrs. Ming, she was a little anxious, and wished she could hurry up and persuade her to tell her difficult matter.

Xiaohuan was even more tearful, looking at his wife earnestly.She is too strong to make herself suffer so much!

But Mrs. Ming let everyone down after all, she shook her head, forced a smile and said: "It's okay, yes, I saw that these jewelry were out of date, and thought of selling them and buying them for my son to keep in Zhuangzi. I saw a Zhuangzi before that was very good and the price was cheap, so I just wanted to buy it quickly. Master, don’t worry about me, I have enough money in my hand, really enough.”

Ugh!
There were a few faint sighs in the room. Since Mrs. Ming had already said so, what else could Lin Yuan do?

I had no choice but to believe her words, but I still specially told her that if there is any difficulty, just come to me and don't make myself sad.

Mrs. Ming thanked her repeatedly, and went out with Xiaohuan.

Only Lin Yuan, master and servant, were left in the room, and Narcissus finally couldn't help but say, "This Mrs. Ming is so stubborn, it was a waste of us thinking of this idea to force her, but she just won't let go."

Gingko also shook her head and said: "She is too self-conscious, maybe she doesn't want her husband to know that she borrowed money again? But she is really kind to Xiaohuan!"

This is true.

However, today's matter still failed.

In fact, what happened today was all a bitter plan thought up by Lin Yuan and Xiaohuan, in order to let Mrs. Ming express her difficulties.

If Mrs. Ming doesn't speak up by herself, how can Lin Yuan, an outsider, help her?Lending her money is the next best thing, the main thing is reconciliation, the parties don't mention the matter of reconciliation, if she, an outsider, instigates it, wouldn't it be true?

"Forget it. Anyway, today I have shown my attitude. As long as Mrs. Ming doesn't treat me as an outsider, she will come to me sooner or later."

Lin Yuan pursed her lips, but her heart was filled with anticipation. Judging from what happened just now, Mrs. Ming and Xiaohuan had a deep relationship. As long as Xiaohuan continued to persuade, Mrs. Ming would come to ask for help one day.

In an empty room on the first floor, Xiaohuan was also persuading his wife earnestly.

"Ma'am, my boss has already said that, why don't you open your mouth? Our family only has a few taels of silver left now, and the master brought back a woman a while ago. How can we have so much money to support these idlers?" Ah! Madame, just listen to Xiaohuan, let's go to the boss for help! You are so tired like this!"

Mrs. Ming sat in a chair tiredly, resting her forehead with her hand, her voice muffled: "I am indeed tired, but how long have I only been here at Yi Ming Xuan? If I rashly ask for money, what will my boss think of me? It's not easy for a woman to come out to work, if she loses this job because of impulsiveness, then the loss outweighs the gain!"

"No ma'am, I don't think my boss is that kind of person!"

Before Xiaohuan finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Ming with a wave of her hand: "Forget it, let's talk about it later, let's think about how to get money now! This time I was discovered by my boss. It can't be used as a thing anymore, it's just a home..."

Seeing Mrs. Ming's frowning and helpless look, Xiaohuan felt distressed and helpless: "Madam, I still have a few taels of silver in my hand, you can take it first..."

"Nonsense! That's the dowry for your future marriage. How can I take your money? Don't mention such things in the future!"

Xiaohuan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Mrs. Ming's stern eyes, and she didn't speak after all.

Speaking of which, Xiaohuan is also very grateful to Mrs. Ming, not only treats herself as a family member, but also thinks of herself in every way.

At the beginning, the master saw her outstanding appearance, so he wanted to accept her as a housekeeper.But she was unwilling from the bottom of her heart, but she dared not tell Madam.

In the end, it was the madam who saw it and bought a woman from outside, and then dispelled the master's bad thoughts about her.

Suppressing the old things in his heart, Xiaohuan slowly raised his head to look at Mrs. Ming, and said in a mysterious way: "Madam, you and the master, make up!"

And away? !
Mrs. Ming was shocked, but there was no surprise in her eyes when she looked at Xiaohuan.

It turned out that this girl also had the same idea!

In fact, she also planned to divorce. If she still had fantasies about that man before, then now he is getting women into the house one by one, humiliating himself time and time again, and even beating her in front of his son.

The affection in her heart has long since been polished away.

However, when she thought of her young son, she couldn't bear it.

The son is only six years old, and he left with ease. Do you want him to follow that shameless father?

And the old lady, because she didn't want to see her daughter-in-law, she didn't even like her son very much.

Without a mother by his side, with a father like that, and without the love of his grandmother, if he had a stepmother in the future, would there still be a place for his own son?

Thinking of her son's innocent and cute face, Mrs. Ming gave up the idea of ​​reconciling and leaving. Let's take one step at a time. At least she will wait until her son grows up before talking about her own affairs.

The days passed quickly, and the first month was over in a blink of an eye, and in a few days it would be the day when Cheng Yuexiu and her relative Xiliang got married.

Maybe it's because the days are getting closer, and the capital city is also showing a bustling scene. Even the small merchants on the street are not talking about how many flowers you sold today and how many rattles I sold in private. It's all turned into a marriage affair.

But everyone was busy, but Cheng Yuexiu herself couldn't be happy.

Since the palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she has been locked up at home by her father to be married, and the palace has also sent two nuns to teach her various etiquettes.

It is said to guide etiquette, but in fact, most of them are here to beat.

Her identity is different from that of ordinary women, and she wants to represent Dayong's face to marry Xiliang. Even though she is pretending to be her own daughter, the palace doesn't care what her life will be like in the far away Xiliang.

All they care about is whether she is obedient and loyal to Dayong.

Listening to how many times the teaching mama said "You must always remember that you are a citizen of Dayong, and you must not do anything that is not good for Dayong", Cheng Yuexiu wanted to laugh three times in disgust.

Even if she is a little girl, she wants to do something that is not good for Dayong, but does she have the ability?The people in the palace are really funny, are they all out of their minds in what they do and what they say?
Even though she thought so, Cheng Yuexiu dared not say that at all. After all, there were parents, siblings at home, and she didn't just walk away. On the way, she was escorted by Dayong's army and served by Dayong's servants. Liang, if Dayong's servants are not dedicated, she will be truly helpless as a lonely woman.

Patiently listening to the nanny's babbling, Cheng Yuexiu began to lose her mind again, and she thought of the tall and handsome young man again. They drank tea and chatted together, even though she was enthusiastic and he was perfunctory most of the time, but these Memories are enough for her to live the rest of her life.

Thinking about it, Cheng Yuexiu wondered if she could see him for the last time before getting married...

　It's the last day of May, girls who have monthly tickets, don't forget to throw them out~
