Chapter 25 Preparation
Hearing what Chu Yu said, Fu Rong nodded lightly, lowered her head, and seemed to think of something, looked up at Chu Yu, and asked timidly, "Sister, why did you agree to participate in the draft?"

Furong looked at Ms. Chu Yu suspiciously, and Ms. Chu Yu was also puzzled, why did this ghost girl ask this question again, and she replied perfunctorily: "Didn't I answer your question before? Didn't I tell you this before?" You, isn't it your wish for us to enter the palace for a long time? And you also said, this girl must find a good family for herself, so let's go." Chu Yu lowered her head after finishing speaking Don't watch Hibiscus anymore.

Furong, on the other hand, kept staring at Chu Yumao, stared at Chu Yumao motionlessly, took Chu Yumao's words and said, "Sister, I'm not a child, if you are participating in the audition because I want to enter the palace, then Furong thank you , As for a good family, I think if my sister doesn’t enter the palace, she won’t worry about not finding a good family. If my sister still treats me as a younger sister, then tell me the truth about participating in the draft, okay, no matter what the reason is , Furong will be with you."

Hearing what Furong said, Madam Chu Yu didn't want to hide it anymore.Chu Yu could tell that when her father said that the harem was deep in the world, a look of hesitation flashed in Fu Rong's eyes, but Chu Yu firmly wanted to participate in the draft, and with Fu Rong's intelligence, she would definitely have doubts.

Indeed, Fu Rong had long been suspicious. If it was because of herself, then Mrs. Chu Yu should have seen her hesitation, but she was still so determined, which would be strange. Mrs. Chu Yu never said that she wanted to enter the palace. of.Fu Rong was always puzzled, seeing that the luggage was packed, she couldn't wait any longer, she didn't want Madam Chu Yu to regret it one day, so she insisted on asking Madam Chu Yu.

Ms. Chu Yu thought that the girl was smart, so she didn't want to hide it anymore, after all, she was going to go out soon, and she didn't want to, the two sisters felt awkward going out.

Madam Chu Yu stood up slowly, sat beside Fu Rong and stretched out her hand to grab Fu Rong's hand.He said softly: "You ghost girl, I can't hide anything from you. In fact, it's not that I have to go. You probably heard what dad said. Dad and the county magistrate had a bad conversation. It's probably the county magistrate. I want money, and my father doesn't like doing such things the most. In the end, I annoyed the county magistrate, saying that we must go to Beijing for the draft. If you say that if we don't go, what will Dad do? What to do, as the saying goes, the county magistrate is better off now, if the county magistrate gives our father small shoes to wear, then it will really be a pot of drinking in the Chu family, and send someone to get some fake medicine and mix it into the pharmacy. Parents may go to prison at any time, but if we enter Beijing to participate in the draft, then the county magistrate will have to think about it carefully. If either of us wins the favor of the royal family, then Our Chu family is not something that a small county magistrate like him can provoke."

Fu Rong's eyes were straightened when she heard this, she must have thought too carefully, she really had a long-term thinking, she looked like a daughter who never left home.

Fu Rong did not speak, but looked at Chu Yu with adoring eyes. Chu Yu made Fu Rong feel embarrassed, and even knocked on Fu Rong's head with her hand, and said to Fu Rong angrily: "Damn girl, what are you looking at, clean up!" Things are gone, let's go for a walk in the garden, we don't know when we will come back after going out in a few days."

Fu Rong nodded, and walked out the door to the garden holding hands with Mrs. Chu Yu.

On the small road in the garden, Chu Yu and Fu Rong seemed to have just come out of prison, and they were having fun. Chu Yu ran in front, Fu Rong chased after, and Chu Yu turned her head to Fu Rong from time to time and shouted provocatively. He said: "Come on, come on, come and catch me. If you have the ability to catch me, I will treat you to osmanthus cake. If you can't catch me, I'm sorry. From now on, all your osmanthus cake will be mine." It's gone."

Madam Chu Yu shook her head and shouted.An angry Furong stomped her feet, and shouted at Madam Chu Yu: "Why, why did I give you my sweet-scented osmanthus cake, okay, wait and see if I catch you, if I catch you, you I also made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Saying that, Sakai retreated to chase Madam Chu Yu. Under the sun, two young girls brimming with youth were laughing and arguing, and the atmosphere was very active and lively.

The laughter reached the ears of Master Chu and Madam Chu in the gazebo. They turned their heads and saw Chu Yu and Fu Rong running after each other. The fun was so lively, and the sadness in their hearts almost disappeared. Master Chu Turning back to his wife, he said: "Look, these two crazy girls just said that they have grown up, now they will be children again." After speaking, Madam Chu smiled and stood beside the master. , also looked at Chu Yu and Furong with a smile on his face, and ignored Master Chu's words, and said to himself: "That's great, these are real sisters, I hope this will not be subject to those intrigues when she enters the palace. The influence of chasing fame and fortune is good." Master Chu was not happy when he heard Madam say this, so he deliberately pretended to be angry, turned his head to look at Madam Chu, and said: "You can't think of something good, the relationship between the two sisters It’s so good, take a look. Besides, Furong and Yumao have been learning medical skills by my side these days, and I can see it for real, neither of them is the kind of person who chases fame and fortune.”

Mrs. Chu gave the master a blank look and didn't say a word, and she was very unhappy in her heart. Thinking about it, I was just worried, and I didn't say anything. What's your current relationship? Let's talk about me.

Seeing that Madam was silent, Master Chu knew that Madam was not convinced, so he deliberately teased Madam, turned his face to look at Madam and said, "Why are you still not convinced, why don't we compare? Whoever loses wins!" Do you think it’s okay for someone to cook?”

"Cooking? Just forget it, I don't know if others don't understand you, not to mention whether you know it, but if you are asked to cook, you are so clumsy that you still haven't ordered the house."

Now Master Chu was not convinced, he blew his beard and stared and said: "Who said, although we are not as good as the chef in that restaurant, we have cooked meals for several years anyway, if you don't believe me, let's compare the cooking, whoever loses Who is not allowed to go to bed."

Mrs. Chu was very happy when she heard this, she also became playful, she smiled and shouted to Chu Yu and Fu Rong: "Mrs Yu, Fu Rong, come here."

Hearing Madam call Chu Yu and Fu Rong over, Master Chu felt a little guilty now, no need to ask, Madam definitely wanted Madam Yu and Fu Rong to be witnesses.This Furong is not afraid, even if she can't do well, she won't say anything, but Madam Yu has sharp teeth, where is her old face, she was about to reach out her hand to stop Madam, but it was too late.Chu Yu and Fu Rong had already heard the sound and ran over.Seeing this, Master Chu had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

Chu Yu and Fu Rong quickly ran to the master and madam, saluted and asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

Madam Chu looked at Master Chu with a smile. Master Chu was blushing and pretended to be calm looking at the distance. Madam Chu's smile became stronger, and she turned her head and said to Chu Yu and Fu Rong, "Mrs. I want you to be a witness, your father said he wanted to compete with me in cooking, but you are a judge, let's see who cooks it badly."

Master Chu really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but he didn't know how to deny it, so he continued to look into the distance.

When Chu Yu and Fu Rong heard this, they were quite surprised. They looked at Master Chu and Madam suspiciously, and asked questioningly: "Father can cook? Can you cook? Don't cook until the room is ready." gone."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Master Chu blushed, turned his head, stared at Madam Chu Yu and said, "You bastard girl, how do you know that daddy can't cook, daddy can cook?" There are quite a few, let me tell you, let's wait and see." After speaking, he turned to look at Mrs. Chu and said, "Let's compare and see who is better." After speaking, he hurriedly left the gazebo, probably to make preparations.

Speaking of which, Mr. Chu cooks well. He used to live in the streets and alleys by himself, and he suffered a lot, but what Mr. Chu can't bear the most is the suffering of his mouth, so in order to eat delicious food, he specially Learned to cook.When I married Mrs. Chu, I had good cooking skills, but now that the days are getting better, I don't bother to cook anymore.

Seeing Master Chu leave with a blushing face, Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu Yu and Fu Rong couldn't help laughing.Mistress Chu Yu rolled her eyes, pulled Fu Rong to salute Mrs. Chu, and left.Mrs. Chu stayed in the pavilion for a while and left the garden to get ready.

Chu Yu took Fu Rong back to her room, let Fu Rong sit opposite, and asked Fu Rong sneakily: "Fu Rong, can you cook?"

Fu Rong couldn't figure it out for a while, so she just nodded, and looked at Chu Yumao suspiciously, Chu Yumao said to herself, "You know how to cook, that's good, let's cook all four dishes tonight."

Fu Rong still didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Chu Yu's mother-in-law's gourd, and asked: "Sister, what do you mean, asking me if I can cook, and why are the four dishes available tonight, what do you mean?"

Madam Chu Yu turned her head to look at Fu Rong and said, "Fu Rong, you said that we will leave the Chu Mansion in a few days, don't you want to leave something behind?"

"What are you leaving, what are you keeping? I didn't bring anything except a few clean clothes." Fu Rong looked at Madam Chu Yu suspiciously, feeling very inexplicable, what is going on here.

Chu Yu was not in a hurry, and explained slowly: "What I mean is, we are leaving the Chu Mansion, and we might come back when we are not sure. I thought, we have to leave some thoughts for our parents. No. Tonight, Dad is going to cook, and Mother has to compare with Dad, and she also has to do it, so shall we show it too?"

Fu Rong understood now, and nodded with a smile.Chu Yu continued: "However, let's not tell our parents, I want to give them a surprise, you know, apart from the kitchen, where else can we cook?"

Fu Rong put her hands on her head and thought for a while and said: "Yes, there are. In the servants' room, especially the maid's room, there were people who were greedy and set up a small stove in the room and started a small stove by themselves, but this We have to buy the food ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Madam Chu Yu pulled Fu Rong up and said, "Let's go, let's go shopping now." As they spoke, the two of them opened the door and slipped out of the house quietly.

The grocery shopping was also quick, and it didn't take much time. The two returned to the Chu Mansion with fish and meat, and went straight to the maid's room.

This maid's room was originally where Furong lived before. It was a small stove set up by Furong and Tuo'er. There was a pot on it, and the household belongings were quite complete.Later, Furong was recognized by Master Chu as his goddaughter, so she moved out of this room, and Tuo'er also moved to another room, probably before moving her things.

The two moved quickly, and within a few strokes, the meat and vegetables were ready, and the fire was lit, and the vegetables were ready.It didn't take long for four dishes to be ready.Madam Chu Yu pulled Fu Rong and the two of them to carry two plates each, and walked gently to the dining room.Probably because he knew that Master Chu was cooking, none of the maids in the dining room were there, so they all went to the kitchen to watch Master Chu perform.This was convenient for Chu Yu and Fu Rong, they quietly put down the dishes in their hands, and they turned around and came out.But there was nothing to do, and finally the two decided to go to the kitchen to join in the fun.

The kitchen is considered the busiest place in the Chu Mansion today. The servants and maidservants are all around the kitchen door, watching the master and madam brandishing spatulas in the kitchen.Aunt Chu Yu and Fu Rong huddled among them, pretending to be nothing.
