Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 75

The sudden appearance of two people startled the group of people.

The speaking woman stopped quickly. "May I ask you are……"

"This is Mrs. Changning Hou, and she is accompanied by Changning Hou Shizi." The servant girl who was in charge of serving Gu Caiwei hurriedly introduced.

There was a hint of doubt in the woman's eyes, but she hurriedly saluted: "So it's Mrs. Changninghou, the son of Changninghou."

Gu Caiwei waved her hand. "Excuse me. Didn't you say that Mrs. Ge is unwell and can't eat anything? It just so happens that I have a family recipe here, which is for the elderly to strengthen the spleen, nourish the stomach, soften the liver and kidney. Let me go Make a bowl for Mrs. Ge, and keep it ready as soon as Mrs. Ge finishes eating!"

The woman shook her head quickly. "Mrs. Changninghou was just joking. You are here as a guest today. How can we let you cook and work? You should go sit and wait for the dinner to start. We are going to the Peony Building to ask the cook to cook for my old lady." Medicinal meal."

"You can also invite the cook from Peony Building, but just to be on the safe side, it doesn't matter if you ask me to cook for the old man. The big deal is that the two parts will be served together, and the old man can eat whatever she wants. No matter what, the old man Your body is the most important thing, what do you think?" Gu Caiwei said with a smile.

Anyway, she is just a stalker, she has to cook for Madam Ge!
Seeing that she couldn't refuse her, the woman could only grit her teeth and nod: "In that case, I can only trouble Mrs. Changninghou."

"Don't worry, don't bother, I like cooking the most. I'll be happier if I see other people getting better after eating my food!" Gu Caiwei said with a smile.

The woman shook her head secretly, and hurriedly asked someone to take her to the small kitchen, while she hurried to the Peony Building to invite the chef.

It was easy to get the answer, Gu Caiwei was in a good mood, and hurriedly pulled Du Yi away.As she walked, she asked the maid who led the way, Mrs. Ge, about her current symptoms.

"Actually, I don't know the specific situation. It seems that the weather was very warm a few days ago. The old lady went to the garden to bask in the sun for a while, and played with a few young gentlemen for a while. As it turned out, the Suddenly, the clouds covered and it started to rain! A group of people hurried back, and the young gentlemen were all fine, but the old lady was old and still caught the cold. I thought it would be over after a while, but who knows it dragged on until now, It's been half a month, and not only has her health not recovered, but she has even gotten worse! Since yesterday afternoon, the old lady used to go out and walk around every day after eating, but yesterday she didn't go out at all, saying I can’t get up.” The servant girl quickly told her everything she knew.

After Gu Caiwei probably finished listening, she understood. "The old lady is indeed infected with the wind and cold, but because she is too old and her own resistance is too weak, it has been delayed until now. I know what to do for her!"

After being led into the small kitchen specially built for Mrs. Ge, Gu Caiwei glanced at her, and she took care of Du Yi: "Ayi, go light the fire!"

"okay!"

Du Yi quickly agreed, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and quickly went to hold the firewood and light it.

Everyone in the kitchen was terrified when they saw this.

"My lord, why don't you do this? You come from a noble family and your body is weak. How can such work get your hands dirty? Let's do it!"

"No need." Du Yi refused without hesitation, the movements of his hands didn't stop for a moment.

While picking the ingredients, Gu Caiwei shook her head: "Don't worry about him. He is just too weak and lacks masculinity, so he needs to do more physical work."

She took it for granted, Du Yi did his job with ease, and the two of them didn't take the surprised looks of others into their eyes at all.

Seeing this, the others naturally stopped them.

Soon, Gu Caiwei picked out all the ingredients she needed.She first took a small piece of chicken and shredded it, then boiled it in water until cooked.Then cut a small piece of tofu and a few mushrooms into thin shreds.Then put the tofu shreds.Put the shredded mushrooms and shredded chicken into the pot, add the chicken broth that had been stewed earlier, and then told Du Yi: "Burst the fire."

Du Yi hurriedly added firewood to the stove, and Gu Caiwei sprinkled a pinch of salt and two spoons of vinegar into the pot without any hassle.

When the soup in the pot boiled, Gu Caiwei asked him to reduce the heat again, quickly grabbed an egg, broke it up, and poured the egg into the pot.Then, she quickly grabbed a handful of pepper powder, a few cornel seeds, four spoonfuls of vinegar, and a small spoonful of lard, put them in a small bowl, and quickly stirred them evenly.At this time, the egg flower in the pot just floated up, and Gu Caiwei ordered again: "Add fire!"

Du Yi added another fire, and heated up the fire in the stove, so that the soup in the pot began to boil rapidly again. Gu Caiwei scooped up a spoonful of soup and poured it into the bowl, and suddenly the bowl felt hot and sour The smell of the smell spread out quickly, and it spread all over the room in a blink of an eye.

When the people in the kitchen smelled it, they didn't even feel their mouths salivating, and gulped several mouthfuls of saliva.

Du Yi also just stood up from the front of the stove, he looked at Gu Caiwei eagerly: "I never knew, this sour smell is so good, I feel hungry just by smelling it!"

"Does that matter? As I said at the beginning, the hot and sour soup I made is just a good thing for strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, nourishing the liver and kidney, and it can also treat loss of appetite. As long as ordinary people smell the taste, they will There's no one who doesn't feel hungry." Gu Caiwei lifted her chin proudly.

Grab a handful of scallions and sprinkle them into the bowl. The aroma of the shallots is immediately evaporated by the heat in the bowl, adding a bit of sweetness to this bowl of hot and sour soup.

Gu Caiwei picked up one of the small bowls, mixed it with a spoon, and handed it to Du Yi: "Eat it!"

The people next to him were stunned. "Mrs. Changning Hou, I remember you said that this bowl of soup is for Mrs. Ge?"

"That's right, so isn't the bowl for Mrs. Ge not here? But my child is young, and now he is not hungry when he grows up. He has put in so much effort just now, so I have to give him some encouragement. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a villain who oppresses children to do physical labor?" Gu Caiwei replied with righteousness and dignity.

The speaker choked, and silently stopped talking.

Du Yi happily held the small bowl, and gulped down all the hot and sour soup in it.

While he was eating, the chef from Peony Building was finally invited over.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of the kitchen, and immediately frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"It's this lady. She heard that the old lady didn't think about eating these days, so she cooked a bowl of hot and sour soup for the old lady herself." A cook said quickly.

Du Yi was eating his last bite at this time.After finishing eating, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his little mouth carelessly with his little hand: "It's so delicious, I still want to eat it!"

"There's still plenty to eat at the banquet later, you can eat some of this to fill your belly first, and it's enough to have an appetizer by the way." Gu Caiwei rubbed his head.

Du Yi pouted. "Who knows if the food in their banquet can be eaten?"

The chef turned cold when he heard this. "It's a good thing for you to think about Mrs. Ge's health wholeheartedly, but it's a bit too much to deliberately tout a bowl of hot and sour soup like this! Isn't it just a bowl of soup? Ordinary Mrs. Ge doesn't know how to eat it How much is it, what's the use?"

"Then what you said is wrong." Gu Caiwei immediately shook her head.

She was originally a temperament of revenge.If others don't provoke her, she can act as if nothing happened.However, for no reason, this person insisted that they were trying to create momentum for this bowl of hot and sour soup, and said that hot and sour soup was useless, which Gu Caiwei didn't like to hear.

She immediately responded with a gloomy face: "I can't guarantee the hot and sour soup from other houses, but as long as Mrs. Ge eats this bowl of hot and sour soup that I carefully prepared for her, I guarantee that she will be able to appear radiant in the evening tonight." In front of the guests!"

"You little lady, you are not very young, but your tone is not small." The chef snorted coldly, not believing her at all.

"Whether I'm bragging or not, you'll know if you wait until you see it?" Gu Caiwei snorted softly, and then ordered people to serve hot and sour soup, "Let's go, let's go see Mrs. Ge!"

"Well... Madam Changninghou, you don't have to go, right? Since the soup is already ready and you are tired, you should go to the front with the prince and sit down for a rest. Just bring this bowl of soup to the old lady. It's gone." The servant girl hurriedly persuaded again.

"No." Gu Caiwei immediately shook her head, "If I don't watch Mrs. Ge eat the things I made with my own hands, I don't feel at ease. Besides, if Mrs. Ge eats happily and wants to meet the person who made this bowl of soup after eating, don't you Do you still have to look around? Then I might as well go there with you, and it won’t be too late to go out to rest after seeing Mrs. Ge.”

The corner of the maid's mouth twitched, she had no choice but to nod. "In that case, Madam Changning Hou, please come with your maidservant!"

Gu Caiwei dressed Du Yi again, and then took his little hand: "Let's go, see Mrs. Ge!"

These two people left happily, but they stunned all the people behind them.

"What kind of lady is this? I work in the Furong Building, and I often go to the rich and powerful to cook for them. I have never seen a lady as thick-skinned as her!" The chef couldn't stand it, and asked coldly. road.

Someone whispered to him immediately. "This one is Mrs. Changning Hou."

"Mrs. Changninghou? Then I understand!" The chef nodded immediately, "It's just her kind of person to make troubles and grandstanding. I didn't expect that it's okay for her to make trouble elsewhere, but she dared to come to Mr. Ge today. The house is troubled? The old man and the gentlemen of the house will definitely not let her get what she wants. She still wants to earn face in front of the old lady? In the end, she should not be ashamed to show herself!"

As Liang Liang said, he had already turned around, announced a series of dish names, and ordered the little boy to pick them up, and he was about to start cooking for Mrs. Ge!

In fact, the reason why those people agreed to let Gu Caiwei make hot and sour soup was because they didn't want to make things too ugly, so they let her have fun according to her wishes.Now that things are ready, they want to send Gu Caiwei away.As for this bowl of hot and sour soup, of course it would not be brought to Madam Ge.After all, the chef who often cooks for Mrs. Ge is here, so of course it is the safest to eat the food made by the chef.

But who would have thought that this Mrs. Changning Hou could do such a thing, but she refused to leave desperately!

Helpless, they could only pretend to bring the hot and sour soup to Mrs. Ge's yard, intending to go through the motions and completely make Gu Caiwei give up.

At this time Mrs. Ge was lying on the couch, with a cloth strip tied around her head, and she was tilted weakly.A group of children and grandchildren surrounded her, talking to her softly, trying to tell jokes to make her happy, but it was of no avail.

"Okay, Chef Fang from the Peony Building has arrived!" After all, a maid from outside came to report the good news, and everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and they let out a sigh of relief.

"It'll be great if Chef Fang is here. Auntie will be able to eat in a while." A middle-aged man in his forties nodded quickly.

Mrs. Ge still looked sleepy, and didn't respond much to this.

But then, she suddenly moved her shoulders, and lightly waved her hands hanging by her sides a few times.Seeing this, the daughter-in-law next to her quickly helped her up: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? But you want to sit up?"

Judging by her appearance, she really wanted to sit up.Everyone was shocked, but they still helped the old man up together.

Mrs. Ge was half lying on the couch, she sniffed hard again: "Did someone bring food outside?"

"So soon? I remember that Chef Fang just came here not long ago!" Another daughter-in-law muttered softly, but they still quickly winked at the maid at the door, and the maid hurried out.

After a while, the servant girl came back with a strange expression on her face. "Old lady, someone outside did bring food over, it's a bowl of hot and sour soup."

"Then hurry up and get someone to bring the things in!" The children, grandchildren and even the daughters-in-law of the Di family immediately shouted in unison.

The servant girl immediately swallowed back the words that came to her lips, and hurriedly went out to call in the servant girl who was carrying hot and sour soup.

The maid carrying the hot and sour soup was also confused.Originally, I planned to walk around the yard casually, and then pretend to say a few words to the maid at the door, and she was about to leave!Unexpectedly, before she even opened her mouth, someone came out and urged her to bring the soup in quickly!
Although she didn't know why, she didn't dare to delay, and hurried in with the soup.

As soon as she entered the door, all the children and grandchildren in the room quickly backed away to make way for her to go straight in front of Mrs. Ge.

This servant girl works in the kitchen. When she meets the masters of the house on weekdays, the masters never give her a second look. How could she have been treated like this?
So seeing the situation in front of her now, she was so frightened that her calves were shaking, and she almost couldn't hold the dinner plate in her hand.

After finally coming to Mrs. Ge, Mrs. Ge's eldest son quickly brought down the hot and sour soup. "Aniang, here comes something, take a bite!"

"Well, this soup smells sour and hot, which makes me have a bit of an appetite." Mrs. Ge nodded, and she was already a bit refreshed.

Seeing this, the eldest son quickly scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Mrs. Ge's mouth to feed her. "Auntie, what do you think?"

Mrs. Ge took a sip and swallowed it, and then opened her mouth: "I want more."

Hearing these two words, not to mention the eldest son, even the children and grandchildren in the room were all beaming with joy.

"Okay, okay, my son will continue to eat for you!" The eldest son nodded hastily, and fed another spoonful.Spoonful after spoonful after spoonful, a small bowl of hot and sour soup was fed into Mrs. Ge's stomach in just one cup of tea.

After eating the last bite, Mrs. Ge's face had already flushed red, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Ah, Mommy is sweating!" Immediately, the second son also yelled, and the big guy's face became even more joyful.

"Quick, bring the brocade blanket and wrap it up for Auntie!" The daughter-in-law also hurriedly yelled, and everyone grabbed the brocade blanket from the side, and hurriedly covered the old lady Ge tightly.

While covering their sweat, they kept asking Mrs. Ge: "Aniang, how do you feel now?"

"It's good. I have a taste in my mouth, my stomach is not empty, my whole body is warm, and I am still sweating profusely, which is really comfortable!" Mrs. Ge squinted her eyes and sighed.

When the children and grandchildren heard the words, many of them were so happy that they wanted to cry!
But after covering it for a while, Mrs. Ge was already covered in sweat.Everyone quickly removed the quilt, wiped off her sweat and changed into clean clothes, Madam Ge showed a smile on her face: "I'm sweating all over, I feel like I've lost dozens of catties, and I feel refreshed all at once. There are many, and the whole body is full of energy!"

Seeing that she can talk and laugh now, and she can't help but want to walk on the ground, everyone knows that her illness is indeed cured.

The eldest son was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, go and call Chef Fang in, I will reward him heavily!"

"Mr. Da Lang, this bowl of hot and sour soup was not made by Chef Fang." The little maid holding the plate spoke weakly.

The joy of everyone in the room froze.

"Chef Fang didn't make it? Who is that?"

"It's Mrs. Changning Hou."

"Mrs. Changning Hou?"

Hearing this name, everyone was stunned for a while, and then a little daughter-in-law asked in a low voice: "It's the one who came from a humble background, and a few days ago was messing around at Princess Taiping's mansion, and was forced to interfere in her mother's affairs." The dead father's concubine, and the wife of Marquis Changning who was bitten by a snake when she went out?"

"Exactly."

Then someone else responded. "So it's Mrs. Changning Hou! I remember it! But speaking of it, I've only met Changning Hou a few times, and I don't know what kind of person he is going to marry again! I don't know, but she still has That's a good thing to wait for."

When it came to the word 'good skill', his tone was a bit weird.

Mrs. Ge cleared her throat: "You haven't even met anyone, just listen to some hearsay, why do you want to draw conclusions? From Tang Guanren, I think this Mrs. Changning Hou is pretty good. Now she is here Where? Go and invite her to talk to me."

The old lady spoke, and the children and grandchildren in the room quickly shut up obediently.

The maid holding the plate was already stupid at this time.

Isn't she dreaming?All those words that Mrs. Changning Hou said just now have come true?

Every word and every sentence, a little maid like her, felt like nonsense to her ears.If it wasn't for the high status of the other party, she would have quickly persuaded her to rest her mind and stop daydreaming!

Unexpectedly, now step by step, all the things predicted by Mrs. Changninghou have become reality in an orderly manner.She couldn't believe her ears.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and invite someone?" Someone whispered in her ear, and the servant girl realized, "Yes, I know, I'm going now!"

Now she is very glad that Gu Caiwei insisted on staying.Otherwise, if the old lady eats this bowl of soup and wants to find someone, they don't know how much effort it will take to find him!

As soon as she ran out, she saw Gu Caiwei and Du Yi standing at the gate of the yard.

After the little maid left, the two of them were not idle. Gu Caiwei was explaining the symptoms of Mrs. Ge to Du Yi vividly: "The old lady's problem is called depression and incomprehension. To be clear, the cause of her illness is typhoid fever. That is, she was playing with her grandson under the sun that day, and she was sweating from exhaustion. However, the sweat on her body was still not dry, and the weather suddenly changed, and the overcast wind blew away the sweat. Scattered, held in the skin."

"Generally speaking, the human body can heal itself without taking medicine for such a minor ailment. However, the old lady is old, and as a woman, her yang energy is weak and her resistance is weakened, so the functions produced in her body cannot Completely expel this hot air from the body, so this hot air can only be held under her skin, and it will not work to cover her with a quilt casually."

"At this time, you need to give her a force from the inside, and let this force push the hot air to open the pores, so that the hot air can be released. As long as the hot air comes out, the old man's body will be better. Otherwise, she Holding it like this will only make the boredom worse, I don’t want to eat, I don’t like to exercise, I don’t even want to talk, and my children and grandchildren worry about being sick.”

"So that's the case, I understand!" Du Yi nodded quickly, "So, the hot and sour soup, the sour is to appetize, so that she can eat the food smoothly. The spicy is to relieve the appearance, to strengthen the point in the body Yang Qi, so that the pores can be opened to dissipate heat."

"You can say that." Gu Caiwei nodded with a smile, and rubbed Du Yi's head again, "My Ayi is getting smarter and smarter!"

Although he knew that her technique was no different from rubbing Heifeng, but after being used to rubbing, Du Yi became numb.Even every time he was rubbed by her, he was quite happy in his heart, because if he hadn't done a good job, Gu Caiwei wouldn't have rubbed him!
Therefore, now that Gu Caiwei has praised him, he is in a very good mood.

At this time, the maid who brought in the hot and sour soup came out and conveyed Madam Ge's words to them, Gu Caiwei looked at Du Yi proudly again: "Look, I just said that my method is useful."

"It's secondary that the method is useful. The most important thing is that you have a thick skin!" Du Yi corrected her solemnly.

"Of course. I'm too thin-skinned, waiting for others to take the initiative in everything, so how can I do that?" Gu Caiwei was not ashamed but proud, and agreed with a smile, and quickly dragged her into it together.

Entering Mrs. Ge's bedroom, Gu Caiwei saw that he was crowded and crowded with people.When they saw the two of them coming in, all of these people glanced at them in unison.

Du Yi's body froze when he was watched, and he grabbed Gu Caiwei's hand tightly with his small hands.

Gu Caiwei quickly patted the back of his hand lightly, signaling him not to be nervous, and then slowly walked forward.

"I have met Mrs. Ge." The two came up to them and saluted.

"Get up, get up!" Mrs. Ge quickly waved her hands, and said with a smile, "I heard the maid said, you made that bowl of hot and sour soup just now?"

"Yes! I heard about your illness, old lady, and I specially made it for you according to your physical condition. How about it, did you sweat all over after eating, and then feel refreshed, and you are ten years younger How old are you?" Gu Caiwei responded with a smile.

Mrs. Ge immediately sprayed.

"You little lady can really talk."

"Am I not right?" Gu Caiwei asked back.

"Yes, yes, you are right. After eating your hot and sour soup, I am indeed much better. I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time!" Mrs. Ge smiled and nodded, beckoning her to sit down .

Gu Caiwei also generously took Du Yi to sit with her.

When she came to her side, Mrs. Ge looked her up and down, and asked: "You are such a good little lady, why didn't you come to see me before? If I knew you earlier, I wouldn't have to blame you for nothing. .”

Gu Caiwei laughed and said, "Madam, what you said is wrong. If I come early, I'm afraid I won't be of any use!"

"How do you say that?" Mrs. Ge was puzzled.

Gu Caiwei covered her lips and smiled. "Isn't Mr. Di Ge also proficient in medical skills? In the early years, anyone in your family had a headache and brain fever, and it was all treated by Mr. Di Ge. Even the imperial physician was just here to ask for a safe pulse. Since the imperial physician is not available Use field, how can I play a role in a mere area?"

Mrs. Ge blinked, and the smile on her face suddenly became wider. "The old man in my family is really good at medicine. He used to treat me when I was young. It's just that we are getting old these years. He has worked hard all the year round and his body has suffered more than me. Now he can't even treat himself. If I can't take care of it, how can I have the energy to work hard for me? I don't like to take medicine, and I always feel bitter, so it has dragged on until now."

I think she and Di Ge must have had a long period of warm and happy time when they were young!Otherwise, when recalling the past, she wouldn't smile so happily.

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth. "It's okay for Dige to get old. I'll take care of your body from now on! From now on, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just ask someone to come to me. I won't let you take medicine. I only make delicious food. Keep it so that you can not only eat well , and cured the disease!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Ge was amused by her words and smiled again.

She couldn't help staring at Gu Caiwei for a long while before sighing: "I don't know why, but when I look at you now, I think of an old friend."

It's just that as soon as the words were said here, another person came outside.

At this time, the servant girl who came in to report had an even weirder expression. "Madam, the kitchen sent someone to deliver food again, this time it was made by Chef Fang."

"Aniang has already eaten, what's the use of sending it now? Hurry up and take it away!" Mr. Di's Sanlang hurriedly said.

"I think it's better to bring it in!" Gu Caiwei said.

Everyone in the room immediately looked at her again.Gu Caiwei smiled slightly: "Although my hot and sour soup cured your illness, old lady, since Chef Fang often comes to cook for you, it means that he knows your body very well, and what he made before Vegetables are indeed beneficial to your body. The hot and sour soup I just had just helped you appetize and dissipate heat, but it has no other effect. You haven’t eaten for several days, and now your appetite has finally opened up, and you have been talking for a long time If so, I should be hungry now, and I should eat something to replenish my body. Otherwise, it would be bad if something goes wrong when I go out to receive congratulations from guests later."

"You make a lot of sense." Mrs. Ge nodded quickly, and ordered someone to bring in the medicinal food.

Chef Fang's culinary skills are indeed good. After passing through his hands, these medicinal dishes are all delicious in color, fragrance and taste, which makes people's index fingers move when they see it.

However, Mrs. Ge is old after all, and her body has not fully recovered, so she just ate a few mouthfuls, and put down her chopsticks when she was [-] to [-] percent full.

But it's enough to make a roomful of children and grandchildren ecstatic.

Seeing that Mrs. Ge had finished her meal, Mrs. Di's family, who was leading the guests, also came. "Auntie, are you feeling better? The guests are all here, it's time for us to go out."

"It's much better, let's go!" Mrs. Ge immediately nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Mrs. Di's family couldn't help being shocked.Fortunately, the maid beside her whispered a few words to her quickly, and she understood what was going on, and immediately sent two grateful eyes to Gu Caiwei.

Gu Caiwei lowered her eyes. "Since Mrs. Ge is fine, I'll leave first. Otherwise, I won't be able to make it to the birthday banquet later."

"Hey, since you're all here, why are you leaving? Why don't you go there with us." Mrs. Ge warmly invited her.

"Forget it. I went there with you, and I don't know how many people will be envious and jealous! I have offended enough people." Gu Caiwei waved her hand quickly, "I originally recommended myself to make hot and sour for you Tang, I just want to get your attention."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ge was startled. "What did you get my attention for?"

"I have attracted your attention, so that you can recommend my husband to Mr. Di Ge!" Gu Caiwei replied with a smile, "But we are not planning to let my husband enter the court as an official, but this time when we came here we brought an altar Here comes the wine, we specially prepared this for Mr. Di Ge. Although the gift is a little thin, it is our heart. Please don’t throw this thing directly into the corner and leave it alone. That's good."

Her confession made Madam Ge react for a while.

Then the old man asked her in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will be angry if you speak so bluntly?"

"You and Mr. Di Ge are generous old people who are most willing to support the younger generation. You won't be angry because of such a trivial matter!" Gu Caiwei shook her head without hesitation, "You don't blame people for being too frank. On the contrary, they are too slick You don't like people even more. You said I guessed right?"

Madam Ge narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words, she stared deeply at Gu Caiwei for a long while, and then nodded. "You're right."

"That's why!" Gu Caiwei nodded with a smile, "I made the right bet!"

Madam Ge couldn't help curling her lips. "Forget it, since you asked for it yourself, then you can go! I will also tell Lord Hou about your jar of wine."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank the old lady first!" Gu Caiwei quickly bowed and saluted, and then hurriedly dragged Du Yi away.

The two of them really didn't want to stay, and they didn't mean to refuse or welcome at all.

After watching the two go away, Mrs. Ge smiled lightly: "This little lady is really interesting, and the young gentleman beside her is also good, both of them are good boys."

"Isn't it?" The daughter-in-law next to her hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "Auntie, you have taught me the right lesson. You still can't follow others' sayings as a human being. We believe what others say. For example, this Mrs. Changning Hou, I think she She is very hearty and generous, but she is not tactful enough to beat around the bush and say nice things, which offends people and makes people say bad things about her, right?"

Madam Ge heard the words, but she shook her head: "Then you are thinking wrong. It's not that this little lady is not smooth enough, it's just that those people are not worthy of her smoothness."

The daughter-in-law was taken aback again. "Does Auntie think so highly of her?"

"Naturally. I like this little lady very much. In the future, I will have to ask her to come over and make me something to eat." Mrs. Ge nodded with a smile.

While speaking, they had already left the room and walked forward slowly.

Halfway there, I saw Mr. Di Ge walking slowly here with a cane.

Seeing the red-faced Mrs. Ge surrounded by his children and grandchildren, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried up to meet him: "Madam is in much better health! Is it true that after taking Chef Fang's medicinal diet, the effect will be immediate? If I had known this, I should have Ask Chef Fang to come over from Peony Tower, and let him serve you by your side all the time."

"It's not Chef Fang." Mrs. Ge shook her head.

Di Ge was taken aback for a moment, and the eldest son quickly told what happened just now.

After hearing this, Mr. Di Ge couldn't help being shocked. "I've met this Marquis of Changning, and I've heard of his wife. It's true that she has a bad reputation. But I never thought that she has such a good ability? Ma'am, you really should have kept her just now, so that your husband can see her too. Good to see her!"

"Husband, what are you in a hurry for? Didn't they prepare a jug of wine for you? It's not too late for you to decide whether to see her after you have tasted the jug of wine." Mrs. Ge replied slowly.

"That's true." Hearing the word 'wine', Mr. Di Ge stared blankly, "I'll ask someone to find out the wine they sent, and find a chance to taste it some other day!"

After all, he had already reached out to Mrs. Ge on his own initiative. "But now, ma'am, please join the old man and go ahead to have the birthday banquet!"

"You!" Mrs. Ge couldn't help but give him a blank look, and then slowly put her hand into his palm.An old couple walked hand in hand, supporting each other to go forward.

But it said Gu Caiwei was two people.

After they came out from Madam Ge, Du Yi hurriedly patted his chest. "It's so scary! Just now I was almost scared to death by the people in that room! Thanks to you, you can still hold your breath, and you can still chat and laugh with them. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to."

"That's because you don't have much experience, and it would be nice to see more scenes like this in the future. For example, your father, isn't he comfortable outside?" Gu Caiwei said with a smile.

"Is that so? Then I must practice more in the future." Du Yi nodded quickly, "I can't let you protect me all the time. I'm a man, how can I hide behind women?"

Yo, he's only so old that he already knows he's a man?I don't know who the little guy was who cried out of breath in front of her many times before.

Gu Caiwei smiled slightly, but gave up the idea of ​​attacking him outside.

However, the two of them didn't go far, and their way was blocked by someone.

"Mrs. Marquis Changning, I was wrong!" Chef Fang did not know when he stood guard on their only way.As soon as he saw them appear, he quickly stood up and apologized.

This sudden cry scared Gu Caiwei to quickly push Du Yi behind her and hide her.

"Oh, so it's Chef Fang!" Gu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief after realizing who this person was, "Okay, why are you here to apologize to me?"

"I did something wrong just now, so of course I have to apologize to you now." Chef Fang cupped his fists and said respectfully, "I shouldn't judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and speak ill of you in public, even more so. You shouldn’t be ridiculed without knowing the true effect of your hot and sour soup. But after the hot and sour soup has been approved by Mrs. Ge, you didn’t hurt me. Instead, you persuaded Mrs. Ge to make me Keep things and save face for me. You have a big heart, and I am ashamed of myself!"

"You think too much." Gu Caiwei responded softly, "I advise Mrs. Ge to keep what you made, because you did a good job and it is the most suitable for Mrs. Ge right now. But..."

She paused, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "It's just for now. With me in the future, you won't be."

The corners of Chef Fang's mouth twitched when he heard this, and his gratitude froze in an instant.

This little lady... Her tone is really unusual.

After finishing speaking, Gu Caiwei tilted her head again. "So now, are you still grateful to me? I'm going to steal your job!"

"Grateful as well!" Chef Fang gritted his teeth and continued, "I make a living from cooking, and the business in Ge Lao's mansion can no longer continue. There are still many families in Chang'an City waiting in line for me. I don't lack food for this family. But Mrs. Changning Hou, you are Mrs. Hou, how can you go from house to house to cook for others? You can't take away my job."

"That makes sense." Gu Caiwei nodded after thinking about it, "Okay then, I accept your gratitude. But now, can you make way? We are going to the front to celebrate our birthday."

Chef Fang stepped aside quickly.

Gu Caiwei then dragged Du Yi forward again.

"Congratulations, you have subdued two people in one day." Du Yi whispered as he followed her.

"Same joy, same joy. I will definitely conquer more people in the future!" Gu Caiwei responded without humility.

Du Yi curled his lips and stopped talking.

When they rushed to the original place, the ladies here had already been invited to the banquet hall.Fortunately, there are still maids here, Gu Caiwei grabbed one, and the maid hurriedly led her to the direction of the banquet hall.

Since today is Mrs. Ge's birthday banquet, there is no need to separate men and women, all the guests are arranged in the same spacious banquet hall.

Gu Caiwei led Du Yi in, and she felt two eyes on her.

Raising her head, she saw Du Juanqing looking at her from the front.

She immediately raised her smiling face and nodded at him—don't worry, the matter is over!
Du Juanqing immediately curled up his lips and gave her a slight smile.

Then, he got up and walked towards her step by step.

When Gu Caiwei saw this, her heart beat suddenly accelerated.

"Your father, what is he doing? If he doesn't just sit there, what does he want to do when he gets up?" She hurriedly asked Du Yi in a low voice.

"Who knows? I can't figure out what you and Dad are thinking." Du Yi responded lazily.

Just as they were talking, Du Juanqing had already come to them.

I saw this man facing her with a slight smile, and then he stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Caiwei's catkin!

Gu Caiwei subconsciously wanted to break free, but she couldn't prevent the man from holding him so tightly that she couldn't break free at all.

"Ma'am, it was hard work just now. Now, madam, please follow my husband and sit down!" Du Juanqing said softly, then pulled her and dragged her forward.
