Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 36

A good habit that Chuqing cultivated with Yinzhen is not to leave a single grain of rice.The bowl was clean.Every time the last few grains of rice were counted and put into her mouth, Chu Qing would feel a simple sense of satisfaction.

After eating, it's time to drink soup.Xiao Gaozi saw Chuqing stroking the Jomon twisted flower jade bracelet on his wrist and wanted to scoop up the soup by himself, so he hurried over courteously.

"No need, I'll do it myself." Chu Qing said while filling half a bowl of soup and putting it on the table to cool.

Yinzhen put down his chopsticks, and Xiao Gaozi enthusiastically wanted to help his immediate boss, but Yinzhen gave him a cross-eyed look.Xiao Gaozi hurriedly retracted his head and backed away.

Chuqing looked at Yinzhen who was sitting upright, and asked, "Don't you want soup?"

Yinzhen looked at her and seemed to look at the pork rib soup unintentionally.

Tch——Chuqing let out a sigh in her heart.He moved a small bench to sit and wait.

"Little Gaozi, pass me the bowl." Chuqing understood Yinzhen's meaning.

"Yes." Xiao Gaozi also understood.

After taking Yinzhen's bowl from Xiao Gaozi, Chuqing filled the soup with her own hands, stirred it with a spoon, and blew it cool.The movements are skillful and natural.She took care of Hongli Xiaodoubao a lot.Of course, under the premise of being in a good mood.

"Please use it, my lord!" Chu Qing said that she really couldn't help you.

Xiao Gaozi took it back to Yinzhen, and Yinzhen drank the soup with his head down, hiding the joy in his eyes.

Prince Yong's Mansion in the capital city, inside Baoxiang Courtyard.

Changxia is facing peony, and this is the time when there are a lot of flowers.Under the rose flower shelf, Nian Shi was playing with Xiaohong and Xiaocui.Xinyou was wearing light yellow clothes, just woke up, and was hugged by Xiao Cui, with a pair of black grape-like eyes looking around curiously.

Nian's smile was faint, and he picked up a handkerchief to wipe Xinyou's saliva off.Seeing that her master seemed to be in a bad mood, Xiaohong laughed and said: "Girl, look at those flowers blooming really well. They are big and round, even more blooming than the peony garden in Fujin's upper room."

"A beautiful family like a flower can't be compared to the year like water. No matter how beautiful the flowers bloom, what's the use of no one to appreciate them? It's time for the flowers to bloom..." Nian's voice was deep and deep.

Xiaohong said to Xiaocui: "Little master, give me a hug, you go to the dining room to get today's bird's nest, why hasn't it arrived so sooner or later?"

Xiaocui knew that their master and servant were going to talk about themselves behind her back, so she left tactfully.This young Fujin seems to be a well-educated, gentle and gentle person, but in fact he is always alienated from his servants.She has been serving her for several years, but she still doesn't treat her as one of her own.Xiaocui left Baoxiangyuan feeling unhappy.

"Girl, there are no outsiders now, let's talk freely. You tell the servants, is it because the prince just left like that, is it uncomfortable for you?" Xiaohong still retains the name of the master's boudoir to show that she is the master's natal family Girl, the identities are different.

"How come... I just said something casually." Nian squeezed out a smile.

"Why not? Doesn't Xiaohong know what the girl is thinking? Over the years, on the surface, the girl is only second to Fujin in terms of food and clothing, and higher than Fujin Li. It seems that the prince treats us well. It's so different, in fact, the prince doesn't care at all in private. Even the little master's first birthday was messed up because of that Qinggege thing."

Nian remained silent.

"Master is delicate and often feels uncomfortable when summer comes, but the prince took Qing Gege away without saying a word."

"Stop talking... Who are you telling me this? It will only make me feel even more chilled." Nian interrupted.

"I just want to tell you, girl. With you like this, when can you add another little elder brother to the prince? In the future, when our little Gege gets married, who will honor you? If you can't even trust the prince, you can still Who do you rely on? The servant is worried about you day and night."

"Why don't I know these truths? Although I am not a shrewd and capable person, I am not confused. The prince is a cold-hearted person. Two years ago, he felt that I was new to the mansion, and because of the relationship with the second brother, I was a little more careful. In the past few years, people have come, but their hearts have not. I only say this to you, if anyone can get into the heart of the prince, that person is only Chu Qing." Nian said the deepest part of her heart The loneliness and grievances are separated.

"My lord is used to Qing Gege, who in the whole family doesn't know? But she is just a niece, not a daughter. I really don't understand. Even a daughter will have a day to marry, right?"

Nian's eyes were gloomy black. "You don't understand. You don't understand. I thought I was thinking too much...but the truth is in front of me."

"Miss, what do you mean? Xiaohong is confused. If Xiaohong doesn't understand, please teach me more." Xiaohong asked puzzled.

"The foolish people have the blessings of being foolish. Like me, you are just looking for trouble." Nian shifted his gaze to the fragrance that filled the courtyard.

"Girl, it's not the slave who said, you can't be so honest anymore, you have to fight for what needs to be fought."

"Xiaohong," Nian looked at an overgrown white peony in front of him, "take the flower and cut it here."

Xiaohong put Xinyou in the rocking chair without knowing why, went back to the room and took the flower scissors and came back quickly.

The flower scissors were passed to Nian's hand, and Nian looked at the scissors in his hand, then at the flower, and cut off the flowers and branches with a "click".

The jade hand holds the flower, and the white skin on the hand is almost mixed with the white petals.

Nian stared at the white peony in his hand for a long time, and said, "You are right."

Xiaocui came back with the bird's nest, and stopped at the door, making sure she was noticed before entering the yard.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Xiaohong asked casually.

"The dining room said it was occupying the stove, so Fujin's bird's nest was delayed for a while."

"This time it's not an ordinary bird's nest, but the extremely rare and precious blood bird's nest, you can't leave the fire. I've told them hundreds of times! Who? What a big face!"

Xiaocui said timidly: "It's the rock sugar snow fungus that Li Fangfujin asked San Elder Brother to cook."

Xiao Hong picked up the bird's nest cup, opened it to see the color, and offered it to Nian with reluctance, her sharp mouth didn't stop for a moment.

"It's a big deal, and it's worth doing as a serious thing. Who hasn't had rock candy fungus? Girl, the dining room will now watch people order dishes, and only care about currying favor with their future masters. I I don’t think so, don’t make wishful thinking too loudly!”

Nian's various troubles came one after another, after listening to Xiaohong's words, he felt that the smooth and tender bird's nest was as dry as steamed buns that had been left overnight, stuck in his throat and difficult to swallow.

"Xiao Cui," Nian put down the spoon, "From now on, you will guard it specially, and no one is allowed to move!"

"Yes... the servant knows."

Xiao Cui peeked at Nian Fang Fujin who rarely showed sullenness on his face.

Nian picked up the silk silk and gently pressed the corner of his mouth, saying: "Pour out this bowl of bird's nest."

"Master..." Xiao Cui was surprised.Isn't it very expensive bird's nest?Just drank a spoonful and poured it out?

"Dump it if the master says, it's not yours anyway, why are you so distressed?" Xiao Hong was aggressive, anyway her master was right in everything she did.

Xiaocui is the most angry but Xiaohong behaves better than her in every way, she is obviously a slave but plays Miss temper.Swallowing his breath, he brought the small lidded cup to the small kitchen attached to Baoxiangyuan.After thinking about it, I was still reluctant, so I found an empty container that was not very useful, poured the bird's nest into it and hid it.

If anyone could tell Chuqing that two meals might be as far apart as a Milky Way, she would eat so much lunch that she would be exhausted.In the afternoon, the carriage kept driving, and the bumps caused her head and buttocks to hurt more than anyone else.When it was dark, I had to drive for half an hour before I arrived at the planned county town of XX.

Yinzhen didn't want to disturb the local officials, and the destination of this trip was not here, so they stayed in an inn.

"Shopkeeper, is there any room available?" Xiao Gaozi took the lead.

"Yes, yes, there are as many rooms as you want, and please invite some of them." The shopkeeper could tell that this group of people had a lot of background. Although the clothes were not particularly rich and compelling, they had a strong aura, especially one male and one among them. Female, the demeanor and temperament are not from ordinary people.

"Xiao Er, take a few of you to the upper room. Help put away the luggage."

"No need," Yinzhen's cold and flat voice sounded, "An ordinary room is fine."

His volume is low but not negligible.

Chu Qing knew this would happen.A person who has worked in the household department for a long time will not agree to ask him to spend an extra penny that is unnecessary.

"Master, Qing Gege is with us on this trip." Xiao Gaozi asked for instructions in a low voice.Some jocks also follow the old rules?

"And then?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Gaozi went to pay the deposit silently, and there was nothing left to do.

It doesn't matter to Chuqing, as long as it is clean and tidy.Pulling Yinzhen's sleeve, he said weakly: "I'm hungry..."

Yinzhen glanced at Xiao Gaozi who had just run back indifferently, and Xiao Gaozi couldn't even catch his breath and said, "Yes, yes, yes, my servant will do it right away." No one can be hungry when you are hungry.
