Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 312 Strange

Gu Xiang blinked, feeling a little surprised.

She looked at the pomegranate with insightful eyes, at least at first glance, she didn't see that the pomegranate had much intersection with Li Chengyu.

However, the pomegranate was suffering from five labors and seven injuries, and his spirit was weak, so he didn't look very good.

"If I were to give her a recipe, it would be some ginseng silky chicken, soft-shelled turtle and yam porridge."

Gu Xiang smiled lightly.

Li Chengyu was at a loss: "I really don't know that pomegranate."

She hesitated for a while: "Since you have a grudge with me...could it be the accomplice of those kidnappers back then?"

If it is true, then she is too wronged.

Gu Xiang shook his head: "No."

Zhao Susu also said: "If it really has something to do with the kidnapper, then it should be my family's third mother, or our Xue Ying's troubles, and it is impossible to find Li Xiaoniang."

The boy blinked, and calmly told him all the details about the maid Pomegranate that he had inquired about.

"This pomegranate is not a child of Yun's family. It was bought by Yun's family five years ago. At that time, Shiliu's family was displaced by floods and fled to the capital. It was also lucky to treat her parents. Her sister She sold herself first, and then she sold herself too."

"Compared to other women who sell as maids, this pomegranate is luckier. Within two years after arriving at Yun's house, he found a sister who also sold in the capital."

"Pomegranate and her sisters seem to be a bit lucky. Her sister is Lan He. She sold herself to the Fan family, a wealthy businessman in the capital. Because she was handsome and smart, she soon served Fan Xiyue, the eldest daughter of the Fan family. Very good, and they are very considerate to the people under their hands, the two sisters met each other and found out about each other's current situation, they were very happy in their hearts."

Gu Xiang nodded, thoughtfully: "That's quite lucky."

The Yun family is a good master. The head of the family is kind and kind, and he also teaches the maids to read and write. It can be said that after entering the gate of the Yun family, even a maid will be looked up to. If she marries out in the future, she will be an ordinary official. I'm afraid they all want to ask for marriage.

The current trend is that it is better to marry a servant girl than a daughter from a small family.

The honorable maids of the Yun family really don't have to worry about marrying at all, and the Yun family is different from other families in that their family doesn't like to take advantage of loopholes in the law. To buy a dowry well to marry out.

Of course, if there is a useful maid, she can join the family and return to the Yun family to work as an errand after she gets married.

Fan's family is not an ordinary merchant either. His family runs a book store, and several generations have produced scholars.Even if the future prospects of the maids in the family were not as good as those of the Yun family, they were not much different.

Especially Shiliu's elder sister, Lan He, who is close to the daughter of the Fan family, if she chooses to marry outside instead of a dowry, the Fan family must prepare a very generous dowry to marry her off.

The little servant nodded: "Lan He got engaged last year, and her fiancé is also a small businessman who deals in cloth. The business is not big. This small businessman is a relative of the Fan family. I came to the Lord's house to pay New Year's greetings, and met Lan He a few times, and the little businessman took the initiative to ask for a handover, and came to propose marriage. The two met each other seriously and were satisfied with each other."

"But just a few days ago, Lan He committed suicide and left only a suicide note for her younger sister. What was written in the suicide note was so small that I didn't find out."

"Also, the daughter of the Fan family also died of illness a few days ago. However, Miss Fan has been ill for more than half a year, so it's not a new illness. The Fan family was mentally prepared when she passed away."

Gu Xiang nodded.

Li Chengyu was stunned and couldn't help but looked up at the boy.

The look on the face of the Gu family boy seemed to feel that the information he had inquired was not detailed enough, and he seemed very dissatisfied.

But from her point of view, it was remarkable that she had managed to find out so much in such a short period of time.

only--

"I don't know pomegranate, let alone Lan He. I don't belong to the same circle as the little lady of the Fan family. I have heard of it. I seem to have seen it once or twice, but I am not familiar with it at all."

Li Chengyu was speechless: "Where did I offend that pomegranate? Did someone set me up? Someone said that I killed her sister? She believed it, so she came to avenge her sister?"

Gu Xiang changed her cup of tea again: "Don't think too much, there must be an explanation for this matter, since it is the truth, everyone will know sooner or later, now, go home and sleep, and the world will be peaceful when you wake up tomorrow."

With that said, Gu Xiang returned the person to the Han family.

Li Chengyu was brought into the car, sitting in the car a little absent-minded, Han was afraid that she might be frightened, and went to find a doctor on the way.

"Sister-in-law."

Li Chengyu hurriedly stopped him.

"I'm not afraid."

She just felt—"It's just that the third lady looks delicate and has a gentle personality. When encountering problems, she is so calm. I, I feel a little ashamed."

Han: "..."

She really didn't want to hear people praise Gu Xiang anymore today.My ears hurt and my head hurts too.

The next day, it was a bit cold, and Gu Xiang was tired all day. At this time, he lingered on the bed until dawn, when he heard something buzzing in the garden outside.

She couldn't sleep even under the quilt, so she had to get up to wash up for convenience, put on home clothes, clean up neatly, and went to the garden to see a group of people surrounded by the kitchen from a distance. Qiuli chased them out to Gu Xiang Tied up his hair, he said dumbfoundedly: "The Yun family said they wanted to make an apology for what happened yesterday, so they sent a lot of fish."

"...I saw it."

Gu Xiang stood at a distance, and saw Wang Ermu and the old dog were in a mess, their front skirts were wet, and there were two big fat carp with pink scales flopping non-stop on the grass.

"Well."

After pondering for a while, Gu Xiang turned around and walked back, "Just say I'm not awake yet."

"Sanniang."

Mr. Yun had a kind face, wearing short brown clothes, with a few blades of grass on his head.

What a hard-working Mr. Fengming, a Confucian teacher all over the world.

Gu Xiang had no choice but to put on an apron, a hat, a mask and gloves, and went to fish.

Just as she checked, the meat of the fish raised by the Yun family is tender and compact, and it is good for braised in soy sauce, deep-fried or steamed.

Regarding fish recipes, Gu Xiang is most proficient in fish balls. This time, fish balls are used as the main course. After making fish balls, Gu Xiang pondered for a while, thinking that he saw a dish when he was wandering in Kaifeng. it is good.

As soon as Gu Xiang entered the kitchen door, Yun Zizhan found a round table outside the kitchen and sat down, staring at the kitchen with burning eyes.

His son quietly sat aside, held back for a while, and poked his father carefully: "How about borrowing a mirror for you to take a look? Isn't it just following the doctor's order, I didn't dare to give you too greasy food? These You haven't been hungry for a year, old man, why are you so greedy?"

"Are you not greedy? If you are not greedy, don't eat for a while."

Yun Zizhan snorted.

While talking, there was a burst of sweet and sour smell coming from the kitchen. The smell was rich and not pungent. They hadn't eaten it yet, but after smelling it, both father and son of the Yun family gulped their saliva.
