Family Has a Concubine

Qiu Ju walked in with a smile, "What's for dinner tonight?"

Mother Qiao is kneading the dough, and now she is in charge of the entire kitchen.

A cook surnamed Fang below was killing fish, she turned her head and said with a smile: "Tonight's menu has been prepared long ago. There are canned pheasant, shredded duck, steamed river perch with scallops, agaric sixi meatball soup..."

Qiuju originally asked casually, but she just wanted someone who had been in the kitchen and prepared.

Now listening to the name of the dish, I thought for a while and said, "Third Master doesn't like shredded duck. Wouldn't it be better to change it to salted salted duck? It doesn't matter if you don't want the Sixi Ball Soup with Jelly Vegetables, but use Fuling Turtle Soup instead."

Chef Fang was startled, and nodded quickly: "That's right! The third master has been traveling around for so long, so he should take a good tonic."

Qiuju walked over again, looked at other dishes, and chatted with Nanny Fang one by one, chatting speculatively.

With a "bang", Mother Qiao threw a large ball of dough onto the table, sullenly, and frowned: "Qiu Ju, the third grandma asked you to come over and read the recipe?"

Qiu Ju was stunned, and said with a smile: "The third grandma probably thinks the room is stuffy, so she and Hui Ran are walking outside."

The answer is specious.

Ye Tangcai went out with Huiran, but as a personal servant girl, she didn't follow, as if Ye Tangcai wanted her to read the recipes.

"By the way, is the water ready?" Qiu Ju looked at the separate compartment dedicated to boiling water.

Immediately, a woman's voice came from the cubicle, "Okay, okay, Miss Qiuju, come and mention it."

Qiuju smiled and went to fetch water.

Mother Qiao washed her flour-sticking hands in the basin beside her, and said, "Let me lift it for you."

"Mother Qiao... don't bother you." Qiuju frowned. "I'll just mention it, Mammy, don't worry."

Qiuju smiled, if it was someone else, she would have quit long ago.

But Mother Qiao used to be Chu Yunpan's nanny, and after Chu Yunpan sealed the Hou Ci's mansion, she specially called her over. Ye Tangcai also handed over the entire big kitchen to her, and she was very fond of it.

Qiuju naturally had to give her a little noodle.

"How can I let a deputy lady like you do it!" Qiao Mama hehehe, "In the past, maidservants were used to fetch water, but today you come here yourself."

Qiuju's face froze, and she was so angry that she wanted to pick up the dishcloth from the stove and throw it at her face.

Indeed, in the past, the laborious work of carrying water was done by the servant girls below.

When the water was brought back, they went to the water room to mix the water before bringing it into the room. Maids like them who are close to their masters feel dirty in the kitchen.

Today, Qiuju has a little jiujiu in her heart, so she doesn't want to do it to others, so she ran for it by herself.

Mother Qiao had already turned around and walked into the compartment for boiling water, carrying a large black iron kettle in her hand. The spout was still steaming, "Let's go, I'll send it to you."

Qiu Ju was a little guilty, but she thought nothing of it, so she said with a smile: "Then I will trouble Mommy."

The two left the kitchen together.

Walking along the bright inner lake, after a while, we arrived at the gate of Yuntang Residence.

A servant girl just stepped out of the courtyard gate and saw the two men carrying water, she smiled and said: "Ah, the third master is awake, I just want to go out to fetch water."

Qiuju was overjoyed and wanted to take the kettle, but Mother Qiao had already stepped into the courtyard gate.

Qiuju's face froze, so she had no choice but to follow in. I saw Mother Qiao carrying the water into the water room and mixing it herself.

Qiuju laughed, and quickly picked up the copper plate filled with warm water, and Mother Qiao followed behind her. He smiled and said, "Long time no see San'er."

A woman like Mother Qiao usually doesn't enter the house to wait on her. Especially Mammy Qiao was still working in the kitchen, how could she get into the house with her oily clothes.

But Mother Qiao's identity was different, and Qiuju's face froze, so it was hard to chase her away.

When the two entered the room, they saw that Chu Yunpan was still in the bedroom, sitting on the bed with a sleepy look on his face.

He was originally gorgeous and handsome, but now with sleepiness, he looks more lazy and charming.

Looking at Chu Yunpan's sleepy and handsome appearance, Qiuju's heart fluttered slightly.

She walked into the bedroom with water and put the water tray on the basin stand: "Master, are you awake?"

"Where's Tang'er?" Chu Yunpan woke up when he fell asleep and couldn't hug anyone.

"The third grandma said that she wants to go out for a walk, and let me wait for the third master to wash up." Qiu Ju smiled, but when she turned around, she saw Qiao Mama standing between the bedroom and the small hall, such a big person just stuck there.

"San'er." Mother Qiao walked in, "Why are you so thin?"

"Mother Qiao." Chu Yunpan smiled, "Why are you getting fat?"

Mother Qiao smiled and said, "Eat well." While talking, she picked up the veil.

Chu Yunpan took the handkerchief, soaked it in water, wiped his face, and threw it into the water tray, splashing Qiuju's body.

Qiuju's face was slightly stiff. Seeing Mother Qiao spinning around in the room, her face was turning green with anger, and she took a big breath in her heart.

Mother Qiao was still standing here, asking Chu Yunpan how he was doing outside, what he usually ate, and where he lived.

Chu Yunpan answered one by one patiently.

Qiuju stood aside, a little embarrassed. After a while, Qiuju smiled and said: "It's getting dark, why doesn't Mammy go back to the kitchen to prepare dinner. The third master is still waiting to eat the dishes that Mammy made herself!"

"Go!" Chu Yunpan smiled.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mother Qiao agreed, she was indeed thinking about the kitchen work, and walked out quickly.

Qiuju saw that Grandma Qiao had gone out, and the room suddenly became quiet, her heart was pounding, she thought for a while, then turned and opened the closet: "Master..."

"What are you still doing here?" Chu Yunpan said suddenly.

Qiu Ju was stunned, her small face stiffened slightly: "Find clothes for the third master."

"No, you go!" Chu Yunpan's voice was cold and dignified. "Go outside and see when Tang'er will come back."

Qiuju was startled, and when he opened his mouth, he mentioned Ye Tangcai, feeling aggrieved, so he had to back out.

Looking in the direction of the gate, I felt very resentful in my heart, it was all because of Qiao Mammy, an old bastard, who blocked me for so long.

Thinking of Chu Yunpan asking her to find Ye Tangcai, she felt sour and unwilling.

But he didn't dare not listen, stepped out of the garden gate, and wandered aimlessly in the mansion.

After strolling around for about 2 quarters of an hour, from afar, I saw Ye Tangcai and Huiran sitting there watching the scenery at the Fengshui Pavilion on the lake.

Qiuju felt sour, and hid in the willow tree behind her. Now she was really in no mood to call Ye Tangcai, and when she called back to the house, she was also with Chu Yunpan, so she felt panicked.

But it didn't make sense for me to be out for too long, so I walked over and went up to the water pavilion: "The third grandma is here!"

Ye Tangcai was sitting on the bench, holding fish food in his hand, and absently sprinkled it into the water of the lake.

The fish swimming in the lake are constantly scrambling for food.

"Why did you come here?" Huiran said.

"This..." Qiu Ju was stunned. It was Chu Yunpan who asked Ye Tangcai to come over, but she didn't want to say that, so as not to make Chu Yunpan miss Ye Tangcai too much, so she smiled and said, "Come out of the house. In this lake It's cold, Third Mistress don't blow the wind, go back quickly. Dinner should be ready too."

Ye Tangcai was startled, and raised his head slightly, only to see that the sky had already darkened, only the dim light remained, and lanterns were hung up everywhere in the mansion, and courtyard lamps were lit.

"It gets dark quickly in winter, let's go back quickly." Huiran said.

"Yeah." Ye Tangcai nodded, and stood up holding Huiran's hand.

The three of them went out of the water pavilion together, and the maid who had been clever for a long time and wanted to please came forward with a lantern, one walked in front, the other walked behind, to light the way.

At this time, Xiaoxue, who was fluffy all over the world, came, and Hui Ran was startled: "Ah, go back and get the umbrella."

"No need." Ye Tangcai smiled lightly, "It's not too cold, and there are only a few steps to walk, how could it be so delicate."

"This..." Hui Ran felt sorry for Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tangcai had already strode towards the yard.

This place is really close to Yuntang residence, after walking for a while, we arrived.

The master and servant stepped into Yuntang residence, and the inside was brightly lit. Looking up, I saw Chu Yunpan standing at the door.

Wearing a blue cloak with a black fur collar, his elegant and gorgeous face was startled the moment he saw her, and then full of annoyance. strode over.

Ye Tangcai was startled, Chu Yunpan had already walked up to her, and said angrily, "It's snowing!"

"En." Ye Tangcai nodded.

"Not even an umbrella?" Chu Yunpan saw two snowflakes on her black hair, but his heart ached so much that he stretched out his hand and pulled it away.

"I have this!" Ye Tangcai tilted her head, pointing her hand to the back. She was wearing a fox fur gorilla cape with a hood on the back.

Chu Yunpan was startled, and even more annoyed, he quickly grabbed the hood and covered her head, "Then you don't put it on."

Ye Tangcai lowered his head and curled his lips.

"Are you dead?" Chu Yunpan gave Huiran and Qiuju a cold look, full of sharpness.

Qiuju's heart twitched.

Hui Ran's small face was slightly stiff, and she also asked Ye Tang to pick it up, but Ye Tang picked it to get in the way...

"Let's go, don't stand here." Chu Yunpan said he was going to pull her, and suddenly saw that she seemed to be a little listless, so he simply hugged her up and chuckled, "You still have to be hugged by my husband, huh?"

Ye Tangcai let out an exclamation, lost her balance and had to hug his neck. He didn't want to get too close to him, but wanted to distance himself from him, but he hugged her again.

"Let's go!" Chu Yunpan said, bowing his head and kissing her.

Seeing that her fair face is slightly powdered, her mouth is pouted slightly, she doesn't know what she is thinking, and her long eyelashes are drooping, but it is still very cute.

With pity and love in my heart, I carried her into the house.

He just learned that it was snowing outside, and he put on his clothes and was going to find her, but he didn't expect that she would go back to the door without an umbrella and a bag behind him.

Chu Yunpan looked at the delicate and tender daughter-in-law, who came back with Xiaoxue on her back like this, and was very annoyed.
