Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 406 Rainy Night
It began to rain at night.

Gu Xiang got up and looked outside, and saw Zhao Susu and Xiao Lingyun leading a few maids tossing about in the opposite study.

Books are afraid of getting damp. Although Xue Ying focused on repairing the study room when repairing the house, the moisture-proof and fire-proof measures are definitely the best in the capital. Even the imperial palace may not be comparable to it, but it still cannot completely eliminate the big problem of books getting damp. .

Whenever it rains, Zhao Susu will be very nervous. Obviously, in this person's eyes, no one's status is as important as her books.

"Hey!"

Gu Xiang sighed, got up resignedly and put on her clothes. Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Susu ran to the window and knocked on her window lightly.

Mrs. Zhao's voice is also very gentle and warm.

"Little lady, we need to use the key to the storehouse and pick some boxes of incense for use."

Gu Xiang pulled out the key and handed it out through the window, got up and washed his face to be sober, then reclined on the beauty's couch with his eyes closed, and not long after, the window was knocked a few more times.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Little lady, please turn on the mechanism of the study, I want to read the bibliography."

Gu Xiang smiled: "Okay."

She pulled out the hairpin from her head, opened the dark cabinet above the bed, inserted the hairpin in and turned it clockwise eleven times and counterclockwise nine times, only to hear a click, and a series of mechanical linkage sounds appeared in the wall. .

Gu Xiang: "Hey!"

She quite liked the sound.

But every time I do this kind of work, I can't help but look around secretly, for fear of being seen by others, which is really a bit embarrassing.It was as if she was some kind of big shot. I'm afraid there aren't so many strange things in His Majesty's palace today.

Gu Xiang stretched his waist and didn't sleep anymore. He got up and poured himself a cup of black tea, and counted the time to finish drinking it slowly. As soon as he put down the cup, Zhao Susu's voice sounded softly outside: "Little lady... ..."

"Wait a minute, go out right away."

Gu Xiang smiled, put on a cloak and an oil-paper umbrella, and went out to meet Mrs. Zhao.

There was light in Zhao Susu's eyes, even on such a rainy night, it was amazingly bright: "I read that volume of "The Essence of Poetry" and really liked it, why don't you let me reluctance to comment on it? And that A volume of "Food and Poetry" is also excellent, why is it scattered? Some poems are full of broken sentences, which is really a pity."

Gu Xiang listened with a smile, only nodded in agreement, and did not answer. Anyway, Zhao Susu just needed her to answer.

Entering the study room, the large bookshelf against the wall in the room was in a mess, and several rows were empty.

Xiao Lingyun stood among the mountains of books, clutching her forehead.

Qiuli and Cherry were bewildered.

Gu Xiang: "Pfft!"

Qiu Li was about to cry: "Little lady, you got used to it. Lady Zhao used to be from Doriso? Every time she sorted out the books, she was an important laborer. How is she doing now? It's just a mess. See Books can't walk."

Cherry even rolled her eyes a few times: "And Miss Xiao too, many well-organized people in the past have learned to be bad now."

Gu Xiang couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the night is long and you don't want to sleep. What's wrong with us flipping through the books together and bathing in the fragrance of books? There are a lot of new books added recently, and you will always be lazy when you borrow them on weekdays." , throwing it away, the bookshelves are all messed up, so it's okay to clean it up tonight."

The study was brightly lit.

Mrs. Zhao didn't hear the discussions around her at all, and she was already fascinated by reading.

Gu Xiang first dug out the booklet of the catalog, checked all kinds of books registered in the catalog, cleaned up the stained ones, put the damp ones aside to dry slowly, repaired the ones that needed to be repaired, and returned them to the original place after packing them up. bit.

She didn't bring many books to the capital. These days are very busy, and there are limited additions. Perhaps in the eyes of Qiuli, Yingying, and even Zhao Niangzi and others, this book can fit four rows of large bookshelves, which is enough. is quite remarkable.

In today's world, families with books are all decent families, ordinary people, and there is no book collection in their families in their entire lives.

But Gu Xiang didn't think it was so difficult to organize these books, but he only brought a few hundred volumes, not to mention comparing with the school library, Gu Xiang's own book collection at the beginning, even the textbooks and extracurricular books added up to more than a few hundred. book?Her books filled a six-door bookcase.

At this time, Gu Xiang was very familiar with packing up these books, and quickly packed them up neatly without any effort at all.

"Well, have some supper?"

Gu Xiang blinked, reached out and pinched his waist.

With this pinch, a little flesh was picked up on the waist.

Her figure is still very good, where she should be plump, where she should be plump, and where she should be slender, she is slender, but she is not without flesh.

His wrists were as white as snow, and his shoulders were slightly rounded. Although his waist was thin and soft as if he had no bones, it felt quite good to the touch.

There were a few nights when Gu Xiang soaked in the hot spring water, Qiu Li and the others couldn't help but stare dumbfounded, feeling that their little lady was really shining.

Qiu Li almost couldn't remember what the little lady looked like when she first saw her.

At that time, she was naturally beautiful, but that beauty did not seem to be so beautiful that it is hard to find in the world today.

Qiu Li was worried in private that excessive beauty might even bring about disasters.

Gu Xiang touched the meat on his waist, remained silent for a while, gritted his teeth, still couldn't help but got up and went to the kitchen to get a basket of live shrimp, chopped off the shrimp head, removed the shrimp shell and shrimp thread, directly chopped into puree, mixed with chopped fungus , and cut another piece of three-fat and seven-lean pork.Spoon on a spoonful of hoisin sauce.

Thin, transparent dough, roll the stuffing with chopsticks, it is a crystal clear petal-shaped wonton.

With quick hands and feet, Gu Xiang wrapped dozens of them in one go, threw them directly into the pot and cooked them, and scratched a handful of green onions out of the pot.

The aroma of the wontons was very light, drifting faintly along with the billowing white mist.

Even Mrs. Zhao, who was immersed in the sea of ​​books, couldn't hold back, raised her head and pouted: "Qiuli, bring me a bowl of wontons."

Qiu Li was carrying the diners to the kitchen, when she saw Ermu, the gatekeeper outside, walking in a rhythmic pace, she couldn't help being a little amused: "Have you smelled the smell too, kid? Isn't your supper always prepared in the kitchen outside?" Ye? Kid, you are old, so you can’t keep running to the inner house at random, it’s not pretty.”

Wang Ermu: "There is a man outside who is looking for a young lady."

Qiu Li: "?"

She looked up and saw that the sky was dark and overcast, with no moonlight, let alone starlight.

"It's not dawn, Ermu, are you dreaming?"

Wang Ermu didn't say a word.

"He came to the door inexplicably at night. He is either a monster or a villain. There is no need to go back to the little lady, just drive away."

Wang Ermu was silent for a moment, then said softly: "The little lady said that if diners enter the main entrance in an open manner, they will be entertained regardless of the time of day."

Qiuli suddenly remembered, it seemed that when she met some bad guest, her little lady teased her a few words like this.
