Chapter 16 Three Fresh Stuffed Dumplings
Xiaoqing was busy boiling the water in the cauldron, and when she turned around, she couldn't help but asked, "Oh, sister Ding, today you don't eat the flower buds, why does this look like a crescent moon, it's so beautiful !"

Ding Wei was not used to the term Bian Shi, so she corrected her, "I prefer to call this food dumplings, and today I made three delicacies stuffing. I can't eat the smell of fish and shrimp recently, so you can try it for me when it comes out of the pan. Salty."

"Okay, okay." Xiaoqing smiled happily. If she was working in the kitchen, the happiest thing she would do would be to help "taste the saltiness".In this outer courtyard, big and small, how many people envy her such a good job.

Zhao Rong had eaten flat food a few times before, and they were all made in restaurants in Xinjiang. Although it had been many years, he still remembered the fishy smell. When he went out, he wished that there was a layer of sheep hanging in his intestines. Oil, don't mention how disgusting it is.

But since he came to Yun's house, he saw that Ding Wei had wrapped it several times. To be honest, he wanted to taste how it tasted, but he just couldn't let go of his airs, so he could only get more depressed every time.

He took a sip of tea hard, and the cold snort in his nose became heavier.The young master of the Yun family is just greedy for novelty, and when he gets tired of eating, he wants to see how this shameless woman will gain a foothold in the kitchen in the future.

Ding Wei was not deaf, so she naturally heard the cold snort, she didn't care much about raising her eyebrows, and finally put all the twenty wrapped dumplings into the boiling water pot.

Soon, the little white geese were rolling freely in the water pot.After the water splashed three times, the little white geese were fished out again and put into a large blue and white plate.

Xiao Qing quickly washed her hands, and took the porcelain bowl from Wei Er's hand.The two dumplings in the bowl were waiting for her to taste. Needless to say, she was overwhelmed almost as soon as she ate it, shaking her little head and shouting, "It's delicious, it's so delicious."

Ding Wei tapped her forehead amusedly, then turned around and mixed the blanched bean sprouts and wild vegetables with pepper oil, cut the tender tofu into cubes and mixed with newborn shallots, and finally put them in two shallow white porcelain plates , in preparation for that young master Yun, when he was eating dumplings, he would occasionally relieve the greasy food.

After finishing all this work, she turned her head to look at the sun outside. It was noon now, and it was time for the master's family to eat.Almost every day at this time, Xiangxiang would come over to get the food box, and chat with her by the way, but today she was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting for a while, Xiangxiang still didn't come.The dumplings filled with three delicacies are eaten with the word xian. If they are cooled thoroughly, the taste will be greatly reduced.Ding Wei was a little anxious, and wanted to ask Xiaoqing to help send it in, but saw that Xiaoqing's head and face were blackened by the smoke and fire, and it was really not suitable for seeing people.As for Zhao Rong, there is no need to expect him to help.

In desperation, Ding Wei had no choice but to ask Xiaoqing to help tidy up the stove, then straightened her skirt and hair, carefully carried the food box and walked to the inner courtyard.

As a result, not far after entering the second gate, Uncle Yun was standing by the bush talking to Steward Lin.When Ding Wei was hesitating whether she should go forward, Uncle Yun happened to see her, so he hurried over to say hello, "Why did Miss Ding bring it in herself?"

Ding Wei saluted and said with a smile, "Uncle Yun, I made dumplings filled with three delicacies today, and I was afraid of the cold. But maybe Miss Xiangxiang was delayed by work, and she never went to get the food box, so I brought it in first. gone."

Uncle Yun saw that she was carrying a mahogany food box, took it quickly, sniffed the fragrance and nodded in satisfaction, and finally replied, "Xiangxiang is being punished by me to go to the backyard to wash clothes, but I forgot to let someone go Take this job. I heard that she was embarrassing you again at the door this morning, why didn't you tell me earlier, but you were wronged?"

Ding Wei looked at the old man's face and saw that he didn't look like a fake, but his heart was slightly warm, so she smiled and said, "Uncle Yun is bothering, it's just a quarrel, it still alarmed you."

Uncle Yun shook his head, but he didn't say any more, instead he said, "Let's not mention that girl who doesn't know what is good or bad, the inner courtyard has some chores to do these days, and there is not enough manpower, why don't I bother you to deliver this food box to my house today Gong...cough cough, send it to my grandson's room."

"Ah, this... okay." Ding Wei was a little surprised, but thinking about it, it was just a food box, and she had no reason not to help.What's more, she was also very curious about this Mr. Yun who had never met before, so she might as well take this opportunity to take a look to clear up her doubts.

A strange look flashed in Uncle Yun's eyes, he raised his finger to the north, and said with a smile, "Go straight through this archway, and you will enter the main room of the courtyard the second time, thank you for your hard work!"

Ding Wei felt helpless and embarrassed. She had seen Uncle Yun scold the servants and even moved the board on weekdays, but he was always nice to her, even kind to the point of respect. She really couldn't figure it out. In the end, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.

Could it be because of the shield of the mountain god's grandma's disciple?But that was just to fool the villagers, a shrewd person like Uncle Yun wouldn't be fooled too.

Ding Wei entered the archway full of doubts, completely unaware that Uncle Yun looked at her growing belly, and the joy in his eyes almost turned into honey.

Lin Liu on one side was promoted from the Shadow Guard to serve the master closely, and he was undoubtedly loyal. Now he frowned and objected, "Uncle Yun, I'll just serve the master for dinner, why did you let her in? woman…"

Uncle Yun turned his head and glared at him, and scolded, "You are the only one talking too much, I did this for my own purpose, and you will understand later."

Naturally, he could guess what Lin Liu was thinking, and he had also heard the gossip outside.Perhaps it is cruel to push a woman into the limelight and be despised by others, but he has no choice. If he does it again, he will definitely make the same choice.

In order to leave a bloodline for Gongzhi's family, he is even willing to risk his own life, not to mention that in the future, the son will make a comeback, and he will never treat Ding Wei mother and son badly.It's just that, Ding Wei, a peasant girl, he had stared at her so coldly for so long, it was beyond his expectation. Not only was she not a bit petty, but she also behaved with restraint in her dealings with others.

The most important thing is that this woman's appearance is only considered pretty, but her eyes are very clear, and her face often has a three-point smile, which makes people willing to get close to her unconsciously. She is really a rare good woman.

Speaking of my young master's illness, I don't know when it will be cured. If there is a caring person to take care of him, and occasionally talk to him, the young master will feel better.Originally, he had hoped that Xiangxiang would be favored by the young master, so he could find a good home for this girl.Unfortunately, that girl is really stupid.In desperation, Ding Wei could only let Ding Wei try.In case she fell into the young master's eyes and got a little bit of favor, he would make up for his previous sins.

Thinking in this way, Uncle Yun looked into the arch with more eager eyes...

Ding Wei has been working in Yun's house for more than a month, but it is the first time she has entered the inner courtyard, so she is unavoidably full of novelty. Ordinary farmhouses are very different.

After passing through two hanging flower doors, she came to a single-family courtyard. The three main rooms were spacious and grand.

But she waited and waited, but no one came out to greet her.

Ding Wei felt a little weird in her heart, but then thought about it again.The farmers are simple and honest, and there is nothing valuable to hide at home. The door is open almost all day long, and the neighbors come in to drink a bowl of tea and gossip.

Although the Yun family gets along very well with the villagers on weekdays, it is impossible for them to expose everything in the eyes of outsiders.Almost all the people serving in the outer courtyard were recruited from the vicinity of the county seat. I had never heard of anyone entering the inner courtyard, and the people from the inner courtyard rarely came out except for Xiangxiang.Everyone also said a few words in private, and later guessed that Uncle Yun was the sick Young Master Sun who didn't want outsiders to disturb him, so he was relieved.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Ding Wei stopped in front of the steps and asked a question tentatively.

In the east room, there is a square table next to the window. The table is complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. At the corner of the table is a plum vase with a big belly. Two willow branches that have just sprouted new leaves are inserted, which is very wild.

Gong Zhiming rested one arm on the edge of the table, slowly flipping through a book of travel notes.He still remembered how majestic and majestic he was riding his beloved black-tailed horse all over the great rivers and mountains, but now he could only face the books, and he couldn't help sighing.

Suddenly he heard the voice of a strange woman in the yard, and he returned to his soul, so he frowned slightly, and replied coldly, "Who is it?"

Ding Wei heard the prestige and looked around, only to find a corner of blue clothes faintly exposed behind the window, so she hurriedly lowered her head halfway and replied, "Returning to my son, the little girl is the cook in the outer courtyard, because Miss Xiangxiang has a job to occupy her hand, Yun Uncle told me to come in and deliver the food box."

Uncle Yun ordered?
A look of suspicion flashed across Gong Zhiming's eyes. He feigned death and escaped from the Western Capital, and his identity would never be seen again. Except for two or three people who were very close, the rest could not be seen.Why did Uncle Yun let a strange woman come in to serve him today? Could it be that this woman is different, or Uncle Yun has other intentions?
"come in."

Holding the food box in both hands, Ding Wei slowly went up the steps, and after entering the door, she turned to the room on the right.

Gong Zhiming put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the young woman lightly, and he had not seen outsiders for many days, so he felt a little strange at the moment.

This woman was wearing a green muslin double-breasted shirt, a moon-white skirt, and her long black hair was tied with a delicate silver hairpin. Her white and slender neck was exposed because her head was half down. There was a hint of calmness and elegance, but she was a little different from the peasant girl in his impression.

"The table is next to it, let's set it up."

The man's voice was a little hoarse, like gravel in the desert hitting a cactus, slightly lonely and strong.Ding Wei's subordinates were busy, and finally couldn't help but look up.Slightly emaciated face, bronze complexion, eyebrows slanted into temples like swords, deep-set eyes, straight nose bridge, thick lips and white teeth...

What a handsome man, Ding Wei stared dumbfounded, but turned her eyes down and glanced at the two wheels on the chair under him, as well as the thinly covered legs, she couldn't help being startled and slightly opened mouth, and there was a sense of pity in his heart.It's a pity that such a good boy is so bad...
