The cook is very busy

Chapter 30
It is said that Ziqing had no idea holding the bamboo arrow, and was having trouble looking at the jade pot ten meters away, how could she throw it in so far away.

If you think about it, forget it, you can just ask for a fine, and save yourself a joke.

Ziqing looked back at Ren Xiaoran, his lips moved slightly before opening his mouth, when suddenly a few muffled coughs came from the stone pavilion, breaking the silence, everyone looked away after hearing it.

Mu Shaoyi didn't know when she woke up, put down the teacup that had already cooled down, and put a fist in her right hand to her lips.

He raised his eyes to look outside the pavilion, and found Ren Xiaoran, his voice was still hoarse, "No, do you want a drink?"

Seeing that it was him, Ziqing stared at him blankly, thinking that this man could tell her a few words, after all, he stopped the cup of hot tea for him in the old lady's room.

However, Mu Shaoyi was indifferent, and her knuckle-knuckle hands turned to pick up the blue and white wine jug with misty rain patterns on the side, and filled two cups from one end to the other for herself and others.

Then he said coldly, "Young Master Ren ordered you to shoot arrows, you can shoot in no matter what, just watch what I do."

Ziqing blinked when he heard this, then looked down at the bamboo arrow in his hand.

Ren Xiaoran was quite surprised, this kid actually poured wine for him, he changed his mind and went to the pavilion.

It was that smile that was not a smile again, and said, "Xiaoran will definitely appreciate the wine that Si Shao poured out."

Mu Shaoyi didn't wait for anyone to come, she still picked up the wine glass by herself, glanced away from the corner of her eye, the corners of her lips raised lightly, she wasn't stupid.

Ren Xiaoran entered the pavilion and was about to pick up his cup when he suddenly heard the commotion outside the pavilion, stopped his hands and hurriedly turned around.

I saw Ziqing walked quickly to the white jade pot, and put the arrow into it accurately, with a smile on his face inadvertently, very happy.

Then she turned to Shi Ting, with a little pride, bowed to Mu Shaoyi, took the clothes on the flower tree and left.

She was very happy, and only listened to what the fourth young master said, and only found out by herself. The young master only asked her to throw the arrow into the pot, but didn't say how to throw it or how far away it was. Not to mention cheating.

Ren Xiaoran stood in the pavilion, watched the woman leave happily, jumped over the door with her little feet and disappeared.

He sighed regretfully, turned around, picked up his cup, and drank it down at Mu Shaoyi, "Why do you want to help her?"

Without raising her head, Mu Shaoyi shook the porcelain cup lightly to smell the aroma of the wine, and then put it back on the stone table. Without even drinking a drop of wine, she only uttered two words, "No."

Ren Xiaoran is not a fool, he just blamed himself for being too elm, so he poured himself two cups and drank into his stomach,

Although it annoyed him that Mu Shaoyi let people go, it's not bad that this kid is finally willing to talk to him.

He drank another cup, showed others the empty cup, and said with a smile, "Fourth young master, I have punished myself with three cups, are you still satisfied?"

Mu Shaoyi glanced at him lightly, then turned away, her face was still cold, it seemed that he and Ren Xiaoran were not the ones talking just now.

Ren Xiaoran took a cold fist, and he couldn't help feeling angry, he put away his smiling face, and put the porcelain cup heavily on the stone table.

After all, he is also the second son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Why is this kid so disrespectful? The two of them have been brothers for more than ten years. I had to do what I did, and it was not for his own good. ,
"You're really like that. I've been coming to my house these days to apologize for my mistakes. You just asked the third wife for a few maidservants to accompany me, but you didn't say a word to me, and you didn't ask about the past. Are you really so calm?"

As soon as these words came out, Ren Xiaoran felt that it was redundant. This kid has been stubborn since he was a child, and he is a master who will go all the way to the dark when he knows it. If it were not for this, he would not be homeless for a whole year without talking to others. , just make that voice like this!

Mu Shaoyi coughed twice, and issued the order to evict the guest, "It's getting late, it's time for Young Master Ren to go back."

Ren Xiaoran frowned, and laughed back angrily. If this kid hadn't been secretly protected and helped by him, he thought he would have gone so far!

Ren Xiaoran's face darkened, and regardless of his status, he sat down with a stern face, raised the jug and drank the wine, and said as if venting his anger, "What kind of wine is this? It's tasteless!"

The two clever maids guarding outside the pavilion came in hurriedly, took down the sake and fruit plate for the flower viewing offerings, and said that they were going to pass some delicate dishes to go with the wine, and asked Young Master Ren to wait a while, then hurried down.

Mu Shaoyi remained silent, her eyes were deep, Ren Xiaoran let them go, the leading maid left, Xiaolan watched from outside, knowing that the two masters had something to say, so she called Yue'er and the others Together, I went over there to throw pots for fun.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ren Xiaoran straightened his face and looked at Mu Shaoyi, "The last time you ran away in anger, the family only said that the fourth young master of the Mu family had gone traveling in the mountains and rivers. Your father wrote a book and asked someone to bring it to the Ministry of Rites. , asked my father to dispatch troops to various places, and found your whereabouts... You also know what happened next."

Mu Shaoyi's hands under her wide sleeves were slowly clenched, her warm eyes turned cold, and she finally opened her mouth, "Who gave me the gift of being here, why should he do so much!"

Ren Xiaoran paused, and then said, "That day you left the mansion without bringing a servant, your father was very anxious when he found out, but he still let your temper go, and only sent the housekeeper Liu to take care of him. you……"

Mu Shaoyi curled her lips into a sneering smile, saying that no one knows a son better than a father, but how could a son know a father better than a son?

Seeing this, Ren Xiaoran stopped talking. He knew that this kid wouldn't listen to him anymore, so he said, "Fourth Young Master, I've told you everything I need to say. What do you want, just give me a good word!"

Mu Shaoyi had sat enough and indeed heard it, so she stood up and showed Ren Xiaoran a back view, but she still appreciated her face, "I will have a drink with you sometime..."

Ren Xiaoran's seductive peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, knowing that this was the best result, but he still had to make an inch of it, and finally threw out a sentence.

"Yuxuan has gone north to the imperial city and married the Ninth Prince."

Mu Shaoyi paused, without turning her head, and continued to leave the stone pavilion.

Ren Xiaoran smiled lowly, looked outside the stone pavilion, not far from the stone road, Yue'er threw an arrow into the bushes, missed the mouth of the pot, her red lips pouted, making everyone giggle.

Immediately, he thought of that elegant figure again, at first he didn't think much of it, but in the end, the smiling face after the trick succeeded, how could it seem familiar?

Ziqing stepped out of the garden and quickened her pace. The corridor was under construction and the garden was blocked. It was already a delay of two steps. She had to go back to the front yard quickly.

Du Juan picked up the curtain and came out, just in time to see Ziqing, so he reached out to stop her, glanced at the back room, grabbed her arm and led her outside.

"Why did you come back, the old lady is asleep."

Ziqing gasped slightly, thinking about it, she only said that the garden was replaced with new plants, which blocked the road, and she took a long detour to delay.

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Du Juan couldn't bear to blame her, so he just asked her to go back to another courtyard, and come back to serve her after an hour or two.

As she said that, she took a closer look at her dress, and nodded, asking her to wear it again tomorrow to show the old lady.

The place where maids and servants live in Mu's residence is called Bieyuan, and the place where male servants live is further away.

The place where the old lady lives with each house is called the front yard, and housekeepers like Dujuan and Lark can live there.

You don't have to run back and forth several times a day like Ziqing. I heard from Magpie that some pairs of shoes are broken in a year.

Ziqing saw that it was noon, and he could take a nap after returning, so he responded with a sound.
