The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 12
Lord Shang Shu seems to be very busy. For the next few days, he seldom eats at home, and when he returns home, he is basically ready to go to bed.This also gave Fang Xiuyi a lot of time to spend with the children, listening to the children recite the text, watching Siyuan write, and accompanying Fei Yu to carve. This little guy cut a piece of jade, mysteriously, not knowing what to engrave.Fang Xiuyi also took time to visit Minglou.What she gave to Boss Qian was slobbering chicken.This dish is very simple and the ingredients are common. She liked it more in her previous life.Originally, she didn't want to repeat the dishes on both sides, but after that day, she also knew that her own background might have been figured out by Master Shang Shu long ago, so there was no need to cover it up.

"Boss Qian, I still have something I want to ask you for advice."

"please say."

"I would like to ask, what's the name of that Master Shangshu?" Usually, the elders are the elders, the elders are the younger, and no one is called by their last name.She was worried that if she asked Sandong, she would cause misunderstanding.

"You have been doing it for almost half a year, and you don't even know the family name?"

"Well, people didn't tell me, so it's not easy for me to inquire, otherwise I would think I have other thoughts."

"Master Shangshu's surname is He, and his first name is Huai'an."

what?God damn it, she has the same surname as her dead ghost husband!

"Looking at the fact that Mr. Shangshu is very young, he is already a Shangshu. Can Boss Qian reveal it?" Shangshu, logically speaking, how can he be a Shangshu if he is not in his 40s or [-]s? What's more, he was already a Minister of Rites before. I don't know how long this guy has been a minister.

Boss Qian glanced at Fang Xiuyi, a little hesitant.

"Boss Qian, don't worry. I'm just curious. I usually have nowhere to ask. I even came to you because my lord has been busy recently, so I was free."

"Mr. He is indeed a genius, and he is quite appreciated by the sage. However, I am not very clear about the things involved. Besides, Mr. He is noble and will not do such unrighteous things. You just need to be a good cook. Just do it."

"Well, I know, but sometimes I feel that I don't know anything about my employer, and I feel a little flustered. By the way, Boss Qian, do you know why Master He hasn't married yet?" Fang Xiuyi is most concerned about this issue. My lord is married, it's really hard to say where she will stay, after all, my age is about the same as that Lord Shangshu, even if it's nothing, I'm worried that Lord Shangshu's wife will think too much.

Unexpectedly, Boss Qian's expression was rather strange. Although it was fleeting, Fang Xiuyi still saw it.

"Ahem, this is Mr. He's own business. I really don't know." Even if they knew it, everyone knew it well, and no one dared to say it publicly.

"Looking at you like this, does Shang Shu have some hidden disease, or something unspeakable?" Another possibility is that Mr. Shang Shu is not a broken sleeve, he looks so good-looking.

Boss Qian was helpless, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"Hey, I'm not worried about my future. I wish he never got married, so I can continue to be a cook and earn some money."

Boss Qian shook his head, "Don't mention this kind of remarks to others. Although we are just talking about business, I don't want you to have any surprises."

"Well, don't worry, I'm just telling you that I really don't know anyone except you."

"Sit down for a while, I'll come over when I have something else to do, wait a moment!" Boss Qian asked his subordinates to make tea for Fang Xiuyi, served several plates of snacks, and went to work first.

Fang Xiuben thought that he would leave as well, and didn't ask anything, so he might as well go back.But not long after Boss Qian left, someone suddenly came from next door, probably a guest of the restaurant, and the conversation with the guest just dispelled her plan to leave.

"Brother Zhu, long time no see, let's have a good drink today, and I heard that Minglou has filled up some good new dishes recently, just to try one or two."

"Brother Liang said so. Alas, the bureaucracy has been busy recently, so I can take a break from the busy schedule today. I have to go back in the afternoon and continue to work hard." The wishing guest said helplessly.

"However, brother Zhu is in the Ministry of Officials and can work with Mr. He, which makes people very envious!" Liang Ke said how envious he was.

"Yes, Mr. He is really young and promising. Although he has not been in the official department for a long time, he really has rules to follow in his daily affairs. No one dares to belittle him."

"However, Brother Zhu, I heard that Mr. He is staying in the palace again?" Guest Liang lowered his voice and asked treacherously.

"Hush! Brother Liang, please don't make random guesses." The wishing guest seemed to be quite scrupulous.

"I know, I know. I am also very envious of the relationship between Mr. He and that person. I heard that Mr. He had already been close friends with that person when he was in his infancy."

"Yes, but Mr. He himself is indeed a genius of heaven, so he fell into the eyes of the Tian family."

"Yes, the officialdom admires Mr. He, even though he is young."

"But it's a pity. I would like to introduce my own sister. How rich is she?"

"Didn't it say that Mr. He has a wife?"

"It was also a rumor in the past. Master He himself said that he had married a wife before rushing for the exam, but it seems that something happened in the family and the whereabouts of that wife were unknown. That's why everyone thought that Sir He never got married."

"However, Brother Zhu, there was another rumor a few years ago. I wonder if you've heard of it?" The Liang guest said it mysteriously.

"You mean..." The guest Zhu seemed to know what he was talking about.

"At that time, those whores spoke in great detail, and there were other parties who also agreed."

"Oh, I'm so jealous of a talent, to let such a talent have such a hidden disease, really..."

"Yes, it is said that several prostitutes hinted at that time that our lord did not respond. Although it shocked everyone, it seems that Master He didn't take it seriously at all."

Fang Xiuyi couldn't think of anything else, the amount of information was too much.One is that Lord Shangshu is not clear with the emperor, and the other is that Lord Shangshu may... not do it? !Inhumane? !She doesn't know how to react, this is too violent, right?Such a good-looking man has a broken back!No wonder there isn't even a woman beside her who cooks.Fang Xiu was frightened and hurried out of the private room, afraid to hear any more shocking news, she is such a little cook, it's better not to know anything, she didn't even know Boss Qian, so she hurried back Shangshufu.

That night, Lord Shangshu really didn't return home, Sandong asked Fang Xiuyi to go back early to rest.Fang Xiu absent-mindedly accompanied the children, making Fei Yu and Si Yuan a little puzzled.

"Mom, are you sick?" Fei Yu asked worriedly.

"It's okay, mother is just thinking about something." Fang Xiu touched the child's face.

"What is mother thinking?" Siyuan also wanted to share her mother's worries.

"Actually, it's nothing. Thinking about it, it really doesn't have much to do with us. Xu Shiniang is thinking too much. Don't worry."

"Well, mother, I will take good care of Feiyu." Siyuan thought her mother was worried about the two of them.

"I believe in my sweetheart."

Fang Xiu didn't sleep well in the first half of the night, but she soon became less agitated. After all, what kind of aptitude Lord Shangshu is, whether he can be humane, seems to have nothing to do with her, as long as the Lord is still in place and willing to eat the food she cooks, that's fine.She hastened to take advantage of these few years to make more money, which is a major event in her life, and if one day the Shangshu and the emperor's talks collapsed, and all the families would be punished, it would be too late to leave.

A month later, I heard from San Dong that the Holy Majesty, in consideration of your hard work, specially granted you a seven-day leave to let Fang Xiuyi cook well and make up for you.

Of course Fang Xiuyi was happy, she probably cared about He Huai'an's body the most in this world.She immediately started making soup and cooking, and it was almost the beginning of autumn, and she could start nourishing herself, but it was a pity that Master Shangshu was in such a situation.

In the past month, He Huai'an has investigated several officials and executed a batch of people with the Ministry of Punishment.Let him be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, because he has no background, no ties, and no wife or family. In addition, he has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and he will never bend the law for personal gain. It is also an offending position, how many people across the country are staring at it.He leaned on the chair and didn't want to do anything, but his mind never let him go. No matter how many personnel affairs, how many documents, and all the things he came into contact with, they always came unexpectedly. He will uncontrollably sing everything from his mind, yes, he has a photographic memory, and he can't forget it even if he wants to.Inadvertently, he suddenly remembered two pairs of eyes, excited and expectant eyes.

"Ban Xia, let's go for a walk in the yard." He Huai'an stood up and walked out.

Although Banxia was a little strange, she didn't ask any further questions, and went out after her.

He said he was strolling in the yard, but He Huai'an lingered and lingered at the gate of the mansion.

"Ban Xia, it's been a while, why hasn't the private school finished yet?"

For a while, Ban Xia didn't know what the adults meant, and what did the adults have to do with private schools?But he quickly realized, could it be related to the two children of the cook?
"My lord, why don't we go to the small door on the east side?"

Only then did He Huai'an realize that this is the main entrance, how can ordinary people walk here?He made a mistake and forgot about it.

"Alright."

At the east side door at this time, the setting sun was shining, and there was a hint of coolness coming with the wind.He Huai'an and Ban Xia saw the two children ahead, and the long shadows on the ground moved forward.There were also a few children's voices in the wind, which added a lot of vitality.

"Siyuan, Feiyu!" Ban Xia figured out what the grown-up was thinking, and stopped the two children on his own initiative.

"Uncle Banxia!" Siyuan and Feiyu were a little surprised, but what was even more surprising was that they saw Lord Shangshu standing behind them, "My lord!"

"Yeah. You're out of school?" He Huai'an put his hands behind his back, his eyes were like this, clean and pure, as if they were about to shine, he had seen all kinds of eyes, envious, mocking, awed, fearful, lustful, There is still admiration, but this is the first time he has seen the eyes of these two children, and there is no impurity in them. At this moment, he also realized how much he longed to see such eyes.

"Yes, my lord." Siyuan replied respectfully.

"Are you resting at home today?" Fei Yu felt that the adults seemed very approachable, so he didn't have so many scruples when it came to words.

"Well, His Majesty granted me a few days off."

"Then you should rest well, my lord. My mother said that the body is the capital of the revolution. Only with a good body can we have great achievements." Fei Yu betrayed Fang Xiuyi immediately.

"Fei Yu!" Si Yuan wanted to stop Fei Yu, even though they all felt that he was very kind, they wanted to get close to him, but it didn't mean that they could be so casual with him.

Feiyu stuck out his tongue mischievously.

"It's fine." Seeing Fei Yu like this, He Huai'an softened his heart, "Your mother is right, the body is very important, so you must also exercise more."

"We also exercise regularly. Mother taught us a lot of movements." Fei Yu liked He Huai'an more and more, "By the way, sir, I used the piece of jade from last time to make something for him."

"Really? How about this, you guys can have dinner with me today, after dinner, you give me something, and Siyuan, I'll look at your writing, I've been delayed by other things recently."

"My lord, we have to ask mother." About this question, Fei Yu didn't dare to make a decision by himself, but asked Si Yuan to answer instead.

"it is good."
