The cook is very busy

Chapter 23 Is this the reward? !
Ziqing raised the curtain and looked out, the people on the street were dressed luxuriously, spoke elegantly, and the traffic was busy, but they were not noisy.

Er Niu got out of the car and led the horse and walked away. After turning around an alley, the surrounding area was not so noisy.

Grandma Sun raised the curtain of the car to let Erya see that this is the Mu Mansion.

Sun Erya seemed to be very excited, she threw herself on her aunt and looked at her, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Ziqing didn't look over, but looked through the small window on the side.

I saw a tall mansion in front of me. Under the stone steps, two mighty and majestic stone lions stood on the left and right, declaring the magnificence of the people in the mansion.

The door plaque is hung high, the word "Mufu" is gilded and dazzling, and the black nanmu shows solemnity, giving people a breathless courage.

After passing by once, they turned back, and Er Ya hadn't seen enough, so she yelled to take another look.

Grandma Sun couldn't help Erya now, she grabbed her and patted the floor of the car to tell Erniu to go straight.

Then I told Er Ya that they couldn't go through the main gate, they had to enter through the side gate.

Er Niu listened to Mrs. Sun's finger painting, led the car and walked straight down, and found the so-called side door after half a while.

Er Niu leaned the carriage and horses opposite, and Grandma Sun called Zi Qing and Er Ya to come down.

Then he went to knock on the door and talked to the gatekeeper woman in the yard, but the woman inside told her to wait first, saying that she was asking someone to come over, and then fell silent.

Er Niu took out two dry buns from the car and ate them, muttering about what Grandma Sun should do with the money.

Ziqing looked at her and covered her stomach, it should be noon by now, no wonder she was so hungry.

Sun Erya wanted to do the same, she licked her little mouth and was about to ask for a piece, when suddenly there was a "creak" sound, and the door opened.

A maid who was about the same age as Ziqing, dressed in blue silk, came out, followed by a half-old woman, but for some reason she was still in shock.

Grandma Sun immediately laughed when she saw someone, "Oh, isn't this Miss Dujuan? Why are you here?"

The maid was charming, with raised eyebrows, she smiled unhurriedly at Grandma Sun, and while talking to her, she looked at Ziqing and Erya.

"Just now the old lady was strolling in the garden, Aunt Liu ran over without thinking, almost startled the old lady, the old lady called her for questioning, she said, Aunt Sun, you brought two newcomers here to help in the kitchen Yes, the old lady thought of it on a whim, let me take a look at it."

Grandma Sun was stunned for a moment, not daring to hesitate too much, she called Ziqing and Erya over, told them to give Zicuckoo a blessing, and then went in with her.

Du Juan took the lead, walking slowly and quickly, and Sun Pozi followed closely behind with Ziqing and Erya.

Take the time to teach the two of them some rules, how to speak, don't look around, don't be frizzy and so on.

And after teaching the rules, they also arrived.

Du Juan went to report first, then recruited Grandma Sun, and finally a beautiful maid let Ziqing and the others come in through the curtain.

The two entered the house, turned to the inner room, and tried their best to control their eyes.

Even though the sandalwood was lingering in the room and the wall on the ground was overwhelming, they still lowered their heads.

All I could see were five or six pairs of embroidered shoes with small feet, and Mrs. Sun and the gray cloth shoes with big feet beside her.

There were too many people in the room watching, so Du Juan found an excuse to send those people away, leaving only the maid who carried the curtain and herself.

Seeing that there were fewer people, the maid who carried the curtain let go of her temper, bent her knees and blessed her body, and spoke cheerfully.

"To the old lady, the skylark has brought the man here, you must remember to reward me."

Du Juan's crisp laughter came from above his head, "Hey, this little girl just came, but she has learned how to beg for rewards. She really has a childlike heart."

Yunque said a few words coquettishly, and laughed again, and then Du Juan said again, "Come on, you two raise your heads and let the old lady have a look."

Erya and Ziqing paused for a moment, then raised their heads one after another, only to see the old woman in the middle, although the white hair was hard to hide, she was resting very well.

She is graceful and wealthy, and her age is more than forty or fifty, but it is hard to guess how old she is.

Ziqing thought that this old woman was the old lady Mu Zhou. Seeing that she had a graceful figure, she was kind, but there was still a hint of capableness in her benevolent eyes.

The old lady took a closer look at the two little people on the ground, and asked Erya first, seeing that the little girl was born well and was very pleasing, "What's your name?"

Er Ya blesses her body, and smiles coquettishly, "Back to the old lady, my servant Bailing."

Ziqing was taken aback for a moment, then changed his mind, and couldn't turn around, just staring at the front.

Erya, this girl is determined to stay and be a maid, so she changed her name after Du Juan and Skylark.

Thinking that this old lady must like house sparrows or something, why not the maids in the room are all bird names.

The old lady nodded, responded with satisfaction, and looked at the cuckoo beside her, "Well, okay, cute, like a lark."

Du Juan smiled coquettishly, and echoed the old lady's words, "Yes, looking at the [-]th and [-]th Five-Year Plan, she might be a beauty if she grows long."

Erya was secretly proud, and raised her eyebrows at her aunt behind her back, but Grandma Sun didn't feel happy at all, instead she was worried.

The old lady turned to look at Ziqing, who was calm, and also asked her name before she was about to speak, but Grandma Sun preempted her.

He told everything about her from childhood to adulthood, even the recent incident of her father falling from the mountain.

She was brought by Mrs. Sun, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she knows the root and the bottom is also based on emotion and reason.

It's just that Mrs. Sun's words make people somewhat puzzled, why is she doing all kinds of bad things at home, and it's a bit bad luck.

However, the old lady was quite moved when she heard that Ziqing had just recovered from a serious illness and went away to find work for her old father who was injured.

"Well, good, good, good girl, poor girl." The cuckoo and skylark on the side were also happy and worried with the old lady's joy.

Then the old lady looked at Du Juan with compassion, Du Juan understood, took out an embroidered purse from her pocket, picked up two liang of silver and handed it to Ziqing.

"Take it, this is a reward from the old lady."

Mother, this is the reward!
Ziqing stared at the money in Du Juan's flamboyant hand in disbelief, thinking whether to take it first.

"Thank you, old lady."

The old lady responded softly, beckoned Ziqing to come forward, and took a closer look, very pleased.

She turned her head slightly, and Yunque bent down to listen to her, "It looks normal, but Qi is here, it really makes people pay more attention to it."

Yunque made Supa cover her lips and smiled, and smiled with Ziqing, "Come on, please thank the old lady soon, and you will have to be filial in the future."

Ziqing replied dully, and then bowed awkwardly, "Xie Madam, I'm going to help in the kitchen, I must be thinking of Madam."

Du Juan frowned, even a fool could tell that the old lady wanted to keep her, how could this girl still say that she wanted to go to the back kitchen, maybe she was still in a daze!

"You girl..."

A woman came in through the curtain and broke Du Juan's voice. She blessed her respectfully, "Madam, Fourth Young Master has come to greet you."
