Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 90
Feng Yao returned to the end of the village expressionlessly, but instead of entering the courtyard, she came to the Moshui River.By the river in the afternoon, the air is filled with thick humidity, being blown by the mountain wind and flowing like a phoenix, it seems cooler than other places.

Life in Moshui Village is really boring.It's trivial things all day long, arguing endlessly with people for a few pieces of cloth and a few taels of silver every day.

Lurking in Fengyao's heart is the ambition to soar into the sky, yearning for heights, and yearning for an intense and exciting life—no matter in terms of experience, knowledge or ambition, she and the villagers of Moshui Village are not from the same world.

Feng Yao clenched her fist, and determination flashed in her eyes.

Walking back under the big willow tree, Feng Yao raised her head and said to Wuji, "Wuji, where is the little cloth bag I gave you? Give it back to me."

Not long after, a small cloth bag fell from the tree, Feng Yao raised her hand to catch it, and put it in her arms.It's too late today, so I won't be in a hurry to go to the city. She will go to see the house tomorrow, and then live in the city with Doudou, so she won't be bullied by these people anymore.

"Wuji, come down, I'll tell you something." Feng Yao rolled her eyes and said with a smile.

There was a rattle on the tree, and then jumped down without a trace: "What's the matter?"

"I'll give you thirty Wen, go and buy a catty of pork back." Feng Yao took out thirty Wen and handed it to Wuji with a smile.She wanted to eat porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat, but she never went to the city to buy meat, and she couldn't hunt pigs in the mountains, so she procrastinated.But after seeing Wuji's footsteps so fast, he couldn't help thinking, such a good lightness skill can't be wasted.

Wu Ji stared blankly at the thirty cents Feng Yao handed over, without moving.

"I'll make delicious food at night, and I guarantee that neither you nor your master has eaten it." Feng Yao weighed the copper coins in her hand, and said with a smile: "If it's because you didn't go to buy meat, your master could have eaten it." It's delicious, but you didn't eat it in the end, tell me, aren't you guilty?"

Wuji immediately took the money from Feng Yao's hand, stepped on it, and walked away quickly.Feng Yao smiled slightly, feeling that she was really witty.

Walking into the room, holding Doudou's little face and saying: "Good baby, mother will cook something delicious for you tonight."

"Yeah!" Doudou's eyes lit up, and her small mouth twitched, which was indescribably cute.

Feng Yao walked to the rice vat with a bowl in her hand, scooped out a bowl full of rice, washed it clean, poured it into a small basin, put a little oil and salt in it, and started to marinate.The purpose of putting these oils is to cook the rice softly, and the oil will evaporate a lot during the cooking of the porridge, so it will not be greasy in the end.

Put the small pot aside to pickle the rice, then walked to the small basket in the corner of the room where preserved eggs were stored, and took out two preserved eggs.Peel off the skin, and cut the preserved eggs into small pieces.Just after cutting the onion, ginger and garlic, there was a whirlwind blowing outside the door. Feng Yao looked up and found that Wuji had returned: "So fast?"

Wuji threw a piece of oiled paper bag in his hand on the chopping board, and then it was blown away like a whirlwind.The astonishment in Feng Yao's heart was beyond words, it was faster than driving to the city!And there is no congestion at all at high speed!
Opening the paper bag, I saw a very fresh and well-proportioned piece of lean meat inside, Feng Yao couldn't help but bend her eyes, such good meat must taste delicious.How did she know that Wuji didn't bother to buy meat at all, but flew directly into the Wuyou Building, picked up a piece of the best meat bun from it.

After cutting the lean meat into cubes, Feng Yao started to boil water.First add green onion, ginger, garlic and diced meat, wait until the meat turns white, then add marinated rice and half of the chopped preserved eggs, then cover the pot and cook over high heat.After cooking for about two quarters of an hour, a strong aroma came from the pot.

Doudou hugged Xiaobai and sat at the table, almost drooling and looked over: "Mother, when can I eat?"

"Soon." Feng Yao said, uncovered the pot, put the remaining half of preserved eggs into the pot, then covered the pot and started cooking again.The reason why the preserved eggs are put in twice is because the preserved eggs put in for the first time will melt and blend into the taste of the porridge.The preserved eggs put in for the second time will retain some, which will not have a choking smell and will become soft and slippery.

After cooking for another quarter of an hour, the firewood at the bottom of the pot just burned out. Feng Yao didn't fill in any more firewood, but waited for the fire to go out slowly before getting up and uncovering the pot.Suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted out, and the preserved egg and lean meat porridge was ready.

Doudou was so greedy that she couldn't sit still, jumped up and ran to the side of the pot, weighed her feet and looked into the pot: "Mother, is it ready to eat?"

"It's ready to eat." Feng Yao replied, using a spoon to gently stir the preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the pot, and then filled four bowls out.A small bowl is for Doudou, and three large bowls are for Fengyao, Wuji, and Dragonfly.

Picking up two of the bowls, Fengyao was about to send them to Wuji and Qingting, who knew that she glanced inadvertently, but saw a person standing under the big willow tree from the window by the stove!Wearing a plain long gown, with a jade pendant tied around his waist, his jet-black hair tied up with a white jade crown, he has a slender figure and an elegant temperament.

Turning around slowly, revealing a face covered by half of a silver mask, the chin is white and delicate, the lips are thin but not heartless, only half of the face is exposed, and one's heart is swaying, unable to extricate oneself.

"Mother, a strange uncle came outside." Doudou was standing at the door holding Xiaobai, and she had already seen the mysterious man.

Feng Yao put down the two bowls, wiped her hands, and walked out.The mysterious man also took steps at this moment, and walked into the yard: "Wuji said you made delicious food here, so I'll come over and have a taste."

The order he gave to Wuji before, if there is any delicious food in the future, there is no need to send it to Beijing, just write a letter and tell him.In this way, it also prevents the food from losing part of its flavor on the way.

"Uncle, are you also attracted by the delicious food made by my mother?" Doudou hugged the little fox, stood beside Feng Yao, and looked up at Murong Yu.

Murong Yu couldn't help lowering his head, and saw that the little guy was handsome and handsome, with a pair of jet-black eyes that seemed to be familiar to him, and he had some indescribable affection in his heart: "Yes."

Hearing this, Doudou couldn't help but smile triumphantly, and then asked curiously, "Uncle, why are you covering your face?"

"Why else? I don't want people to see it." Feng Yao replied angrily.I don't know why, but I feel very displeased with Murong Yu's behavior of covering his head and tail.If you don't like her, don't come to eat her meal?Since you are so rare about her food, you should treat her with sincerity. What is it to cover your head and tail like this?
Murong Yu was stunned for a moment, aware of Feng Yao's displeasure, and explained in a rare good temper: "I have offended many people, but whenever I go out, I must wear a mask. This is to protect myself, and it is also for your own good."

Feng Yao was slightly taken aback, the displeasure in her heart faded slightly, she nodded: "Come in, it's time to eat."

Murong Yu walked in behind and saw Doudou looking back at him repeatedly, so she asked him, "Little guy, why do you always look at me?"

Doudou blushed, and immediately turned around, not daring to look at him again.For some reason, when he looked at this strange uncle, he always felt his heart pounding and wanted to get close to him.

And Murong Yu also felt the same way, feeling that this little guy was sleeping very well for no reason.After Feng Yao brought the porridge, Doudou was immersed in eating, and she couldn't help saying, "Slow down, boil it carefully."

Doudou sticks out her little tongue, looks up at him, then immediately lowers her head again: "Yeah." She looks so cute, very attractive.

Feng Yao doesn't care about Doudou, she has almost no requirements for Doudou's etiquette at the table, as long as she doesn't babble.After all, Doudou is still young, so she is demanding too much, so she is distracted and can't taste the food wholeheartedly.

I saw Feng Yao holding a small spoon, eating the porridge slowly and gracefully, with an expression of enjoyment on her face, Murong Yu couldn't help eating it too.He took a spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge into his mouth, and he felt it was soft and smooth, the rice grains were boiled rotten, and the slightly chewy preserved eggs bounced between his lips and teeth, which was indescribably strange.

Swallowing it in one gulp, I suddenly felt a different kind of fragrance left between my lips and teeth, an indescribably delicious taste.He couldn't help raising his eyes, and looked at the woman sitting opposite, and saw that she was born very soft, but her expression was calm, as if making such delicious food was not something worthy of celebration.

She didn't feel so honored to get his approval.It seems that such delicious food is just something she eats every day when she is free to do business.With curiosity and exploration of Fengyao in his arms, Murong Yu slowly finished a bowl of porridge, moving the spoon.

Feng Yao put down the bowl, got up and went to the stove to pick up two bowls, and sent them to Wuji and Dragonfly.Feng Yao still clearly distinguishes the boundary between master and servant, so she didn't ask Wuji and Dragonfly to eat together.Instead, after Murong Yu finished eating, he served it to them.

Murong Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the empty bowl in front of him, feeling a little unsatisfied.Suddenly, he felt two burning eyes looking towards him, and when he looked up, he saw Doudou blinking a pair of big black eyes, staring straight at him.Seeing him looking over, he lowered his head again, and his eyes happened to fall on the jade pendant around his waist.

"Uncle, you are so beautiful." Doudou pointed to the green jade pendant on Murong Yu's waist and said.

"You like it? I'll give it to you." Murong Yu said, then untied the jade pendant.He didn't know why, but he had some indescribable affection for this little guy, so he gave this very precious cloud pattern jade pendant to him without thinking about it.

"Thank you, Uncle." Doudou took the jade pendant, saw the coolness in the tentacles, and immediately began to play with it fondly.

Looking at Doudou's big eyes full of joy, Murong Yu couldn't help but feel joy in his heart at this moment.

"Uncle should go home." He looked up at the sky and stood up.

Just as he walked into the courtyard, Feng Yao happened to walk in, raising his brows: "Are you leaving? Then I won't give you away." Then, holding two empty bowls, she brushed shoulders with him and passed by, saying something polite No words.

Murong Yu couldn't help touching the mask on her face, it was because this mask covered his handsome face, so she dismissed him, right?After all, although he has a special status, there are many noble girls who are crying and clamoring to marry him.

Not knowing what was going on in his heart, Murong Yu walked out of the yard and said to Wuji under the big tree: "I'm going back."

"Master!" Wuji couldn't help but shouted, pointed to the inside of the room, and couldn't help being curious anymore: "Is it the mistress and the little master inside?"

"Huh?" Murong Yu raised his eyebrows, what kind of mistress, what little master?
