Rather be a concubine

Chapter 123
After Zhao Xuan reached out to take the spoon, he directly stirred the Gengmi barley porridge in the blue-and-white porcelain bowl. The crystal clear rice grains, like jade beads, slid slowly, and immediately a strong fragrance flowed along with the light water vapor. The transpiration pervades the entire room.

Gently blow off the heat of Gengmi barley porridge made with milk and black-bone chicken soup, and then put it in the mouth, a rich aroma diffuses in the mouth, with the moistness of milk and the slightly roughness of stalked barley The taste, the chicken soup infiltrated with wolfberry nectar, has no fishy smell, only the amazing taste.

Zhao Xuan originally had a good taste, and because the Zhao family's cooking skills are extremely high, the taste is naturally a bit tricky.Because of the weakness of the spleen and stomach, yesterday night I hastily used some rice soup cooked by the women of Xinglin Pavilion, and weighed my stomach. What does it mean to feel like chewing wax?

Originally, Zhao Xuan had to be patient, but now seeing Sister Qiao, he has won the elder sister's good cooking skills. If this is the case, their Zhao family's cooking skills are not lost.

After Zhao Xuan ate this bowl of Gengmi and barley porridge, his complexion became much better than the snow white just now, obviously he had accepted the news of Zhao Yueru's death.He took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips, and then he spoke to Bo Yuqiao.

"Sister Qiao, you should have got the recipe from the elder sister!"

Seeing Zhao Xuan's determined look, Bo Yuqiao didn't deny it, just nodded slightly, and said.

"My aunt passed on the recipe to Qiaoer. Could it be that my uncle doesn't want to do that?"

In Bo Yuqiao's mind, something as important as a recipe is naturally passed on to his sons but not his daughters, and not to his daughter-in-law.Right now, I am just a young lady who has not yet reached the age of Ji, and I am not named Zhao, if my uncle wants to take back the recipes, it is reasonable and reasonable.

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan's thin and handsome face showed a trace of astonishment, and then shook his head violently.

"Since the elder sister passed on the recipe to you, it is the elder sister's wish. As a brother, I naturally cannot disobey the elder sister's wishes."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao was very satisfied, and now she wanted to tell her uncle about the Penglai Tower, after all, she really lacked a capable man right now.Zhao Xuan's culinary skills are not inferior to hers, so he is an excellent candidate, and Zhao Xuan is her uncle, Bo Yuqiao, so he is more at ease than others. If there is such a candidate, he must not miss it.

Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao bit her red lips lightly, her small face resembling Zhao Yueru showed a look of embarrassment, she glanced timidly at Zhao Xuan, her almond eyes rolled slightly, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes , but murmured and refused to speak.

When Zhao Xuan saw Qiao's appearance, he couldn't bear it. After all, Bo Yuqiao's appearance was exactly the same as that of his eldest sister. My sister is better, this is not ashamed of Zhao Yueru.Therefore, Zhao Xuan immediately asked eagerly.

"Sister Qiao, what's the matter with you? But what happened? Tell uncle!"

Seeing the anxious look on Zhao Xuan's handsome face, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but no matter how guilty she was, she wouldn't make a loss-making business. Anyway, her uncle is alone now, so it's just right to stay in her Penglai building ?
Bo Yuqiao thought about this in her heart, and her guilt disappeared, and she spoke softly.

"Uncle, Qiaoer has something to ask, and I hope uncle can agree to Qiaoer."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan didn't delay at all, and said right away.

"Sister Qiao, let's just say it. If uncle can do what he can, he will definitely not say anything."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao laughed inwardly, and the sly look in her brows and eyes flashed away. Although Zhao Xuan didn't see it, Mo Ruqing, who was sitting on the Eight Immortals Chair, could clearly see it.Mo Ruqing laughed dumbfounded in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she reached out to pick up the teacup, covering the smile on her lips.

"Father, Qiaoer has a restaurant under his command. Now everything is ready, and he only owes a chef. Qiaoer doesn't want to randomly find a cook with poor skills to enter the Penglai restaurant, so he can only keep the restaurant empty. Seeing my uncle right now, I know that my uncle has all the true traditions of our Zhao family, and his skills are comparable to those of the imperial chefs in the palace. I think it is not a little bit different. So, being a chef must not be a big deal, I wonder what uncle wants?"

Bo Yuqiao's voice was clear and melodious, like rings ringing bells, coupled with the words of praise from Tan's mouth, it really made Zhao Xuan feel extremely comfortable.

Seeing the joyful look on his uncle's eyebrows, Bo Yuqiao thought to himself, uncle really has a simple temper, if he is kidnapped into Penglai Tower, he must be protected.If not, he might be cheated away by others at some point.

"Uncle, if it's difficult for you, just pretend that Qiao Er never mentioned this matter."

The little lady in front of her had a gloomy look on her pretty face, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and she didn't say much, seeing that she was really obedient, Zhao Xuan couldn't bear to say no no matter what.

"Sister Qiao, what are you talking about? It's all about being a chef. My uncle can do it. After all, I have learned cooking for nearly 30 years. If it goes to waste, I'm afraid it will go underground in the future, and your grandfather will not You will forgive me lightly, now that I can enter your Penglai Tower, it is a place to settle for my uncle, so it is a way to get the best of both worlds."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao nodded slightly, and pulled out the brocade handkerchief embroidered with clear lotus from the armhole, which just covered the corners of her lips, and concealed a chuckle, without Zhao Xuan noticing.

After Bo Yuqiao put down the handkerchief, she directly kissed Zhao Xuan, and then said.

"Then thank you uncle."

Seeing sister Qiao being so polite, Zhao Xuan couldn't help sighing, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Bao Yuqiao's arm, and then said with a handsome face.

"We are a family in the first place, so why are we so heretical? If sister Qiao is so polite to uncle again, I will get angry!"

After saying that, Zhao Xuan pretended to be sullen, and his handsome face was slightly distorted for a moment. It wasn't scary to look at, but rather amused.

After Bo Yuqiao straightened up, she sat down on the mahogany stool beside her. Seeing Zhao Xuan taking a sip of Tieguanyin at this moment, she asked with some doubts.

"Uncle, Qiaoer is still unclear about one thing. The restaurant of Zhao's family was also opened in the middle of the capital before. Looking at the craftsmanship of you and your aunt, I know that the business of the restaurant must be good. If this is the case, why did you leave? What about Jing?"

This is also the doubt that Bo Yuqiao has kept hidden in her heart in recent years. Although she knows that Zhao Yueru is from a merchant family, she has never met anyone from the Zhao family in Beijing, which is a bit abnormal.

Hearing Bo Yuqiao's question, Zhao Xuan's face immediately became a little embarrassed, and his slender and callused hands kept trembling slightly. Looking at this appearance, Bo Yuqiao knew that things would definitely not be simple, maybe the Zhao family would leave the capital , it has something to do with the Bo Mansion!

Zhao Xuan sighed in a low voice. After all, it was an old story, and there was no need to hide it, so he said it calmly.

"It's not for any other reason, it's just that Mrs. Bo didn't look down on our lowly merchants, and your aunt was very favored in Bo's house back then. That's why the second lady was angered and put pressure on the tavern. Our family couldn't do anything, and my father was annoyed with the eldest sister, and didn't know that he would be with her, so he moved out of Beijing with his family in a fit of anger."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao was a little silent. She never thought that Feng's hand would be so long that even her aunt's mother's family would be kicked out of Beijing. If so, her aunt would lose Bo Zheng's favor. , will fall into the predicament of isolation and helplessness in the mansion, and have to rely on the Feng family.

Thinking about Feng's normal and peaceful appearance, it was really just a feign. This woman ruined my aunt's future, making my aunt think that her blood relatives have rejected her long ago, so she is so determined to be disheartened cold.Moreover, Feng Shi still watched their mother and daughter quarreling in the back house with cold eyes, offering help from time to time, as if teasing cats and dogs, such a vicious bitch, really pissing people off!
Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao's lips immediately turned pale, and her eye sockets turned slightly red, obviously because she was very angry.

Seeing the pale face of the little lady in front of him, Zhao Xuan immediately felt distressed, quickly raised his sleeves, and spoke eagerly.

"Sister Qiao doesn't need to worry about it. It's been a long time ago. Now that your aunt is gone, you must not offend your aunt in the mansion. If not, I'm afraid life will not be easy."

Hearing that her uncle was worried about her own safety, Bo Yuqiao's heart warmed up, and then she chuckled, all the anger in her eyes disappeared, then obediently nodded, and said.

"Uncle, don't worry, Qiaoer knows well, and naturally she won't offend my aunt in person."

She won't offend her face to face, and it doesn't mean she can't plan behind her back. That bitch of the Feng family played tricks on my aunt more than a few times, treating their mother and daughter as actors, and later, when my aunt gave birth, she killed Brother Yang with a stillborn baby. The son was changed, and then the aunt was forced to die. How could he not avenge such a great hatred?

Bo Yuqiao sneered in her heart, she would never forgive Feng Shi, a vicious bitch, after all, she repays her hatred with kindness, why should she repay her with kindness, she must repay her grudge directly, in order to relieve the hatred in her heart!

Now that Bo Rao is going back to the mansion again, Bo Yuqiao remembers that Bo Rao can't get used to Feng's sister-in-law very much. If there is a dispute between the second wife and the married aunt, there will be a lot of excitement in Bo's mansion up.In this case, she wanted to find an opportunity to make good use of Bao Rao's sharp blade, so that she could kill people with a knife.

After Bo Yuqiao left Xinglin House, she didn't go to Penglai House, but went straight back to Bo's residence.Now the palace banquet is only two months away, although she has some skills in the past, if she is not good enough to rehearse the dance, she will still lose face at the palace banquet, so naturally Bo Yuqiao cannot be taken lightly.
