Raiders of the Duke and Duchess
Chapter 797 Just waiting to catch the turtle in the urn
This is a normal girl’s house!
Xi Yu held the tea cup in both hands and looked at the little cook who was waiting with her head lowered in the corridor. She sighed to herself that after following Miss Ji for a long time, she almost forgot what a normal girl's family should look like and what kind of temper they are. Compared to...Xi Yu felt that even the arrogant Princess You looked extra...feminine.
"Squeak—" As she sighed, the door was opened, and Ji Wuyan stood in the room with her white cloak folded up. Just as she was about to ask Ziqiu, the little cook had already stepped forward to greet her, "Is the girl awake? Do you want to?" Is the meal ready? My servant just asked Ziqiu, and Ziqiu said that the meal will be served as soon as the girl wakes up. Is she hungry? Will the meal be served now? "
There were quite a few questions, but luckily they all probably meant the same thing. Ji Wuyan nodded, then looked at Xi Yu who was walking towards here, "Have you eaten?"
Xi Yu shook his head, put his hands behind his back and said "hehe" with a sweet smile, "No, I came just in time for dinner, just to have a meal with the girl!"
Ji Wuyan ordered the cook to prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. The little cook nodded in response and almost trotted off. Xi Yu glanced at the back of the little cook, followed Ji Wuyan into the house step by step, and asked tentatively, "Girl, this little cook...is from Jiangnan? How old is she? Is she married?"
Ji Wuyan turned around and glanced at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked back and smiled quickly, "Don't get your ideas into my yard, especially the cooks in my yard... Otherwise Jifeng will fight with you." .”
What? Silent wind? Xi Yu was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he sighed to himself, "This boy... is quite precocious! Already he knows how to look for a wife for himself at such a young age? And looking for so many women at once? But, isn't this age a bit too much for him? Is it too big?"
Ji Wuyan glanced at him, his eyes were not very friendly, and he said lowly, "What are you thinking about? All the cooks in my courtyard, ranging from those who are thirteen or fourteen years old to those who are forty or fifty years old, were all chosen by him. If you cook delicious food, at least there is one specialty dish that he will never forget. That kid has no obsession, but he refuses to give in when it comes to delicious food. If you dare to kidnap one, he will hate you for the rest of his life."
Is this, so cruel? Xi Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and after a while, he asked tentatively, "Then, then...then I will marry you?"
Ji Wuyan didn't believe that such a thing as love at first sight would happen to Xi Yu. The guy probably took a look at the little cook while waiting and thought she was pretty and was just curious for a moment. Naturally, she did not take these words seriously, so she asked lazily, "When I went out to the street today, I heard the wife of General Zhongwu's family talking about Dali Temple, so I listened casually and said that Lord Shen wanted to invite Qin Taiyi to come in. Dali Temple was treating a doctor and prescribing prescriptions, and he even knelt down for You Feng? Is this really the case?"
Xi Yu didn't even think about it, "I didn't hear that! Xi An was in charge of the news at Dali Temple, but I had heard it before. Doctor Qin did go to Dali Temple, but it shouldn't be Mr. Shen. The one I am begging for is Dr. Qin, whom our third master personally invited... This kind of job is not a good job. If you are not careful, you will have to get involved in it. Dr. Qin recently added a new granddaughter, but it is a pity that she is very lucky. Oh! I think even if You Feng is willing to invite you, Imperial Physician Qin won’t be willing to go. Apart from our third master, I’m afraid no one will be able to invite you..."
Ji Wuyan was slightly startled. Why did Ning Xiuyuan go to so much trouble to invite Qin Imperial Physician to Dali Temple? Is that medicine not working? Or...in order to get rid of it? Just as he was about to ask in detail, he heard the sound of footsteps and the maids came over with food, so the topic had to be put aside for the time being.
Later, Ziqiu also came back. When he saw the maids accompanying him, he swallowed all the complaints that were on his lips. He waved his hand and let people go. Then he sat down next to Ji Wuyan and reported, " Girl, Bai Xue's slave has already given instructions. Just now, the slave went to the yard and wanted to check if there were any omissions. She happened to bump into Bai Xue there. Guess what, she was twisting her body and pinching her throat. Mr. Chen is talking...ah!" Xi Yu looked at Ziqiu rubbing his arms with a look of disgust on his face. He was both amused and curious, "Who is Bai Xue you are talking about? I have only been away for a few days, why don't you listen quickly? Don’t you understand what you are talking about?”
"Hey! You don't know, this maid looks like an honest and sweet girl, but she is actually a bitch, and she still wants to follow a dragon and a phoenix!" As soon as he talked about this dishonest Bai Xue, Ziqiu immediately became excited, and did not forget to give Ji a Salt-free cloth dishes, while rolling up his sleeves, telling Xi Yu the story of Bai Xue, "This starts from when Miss Shen got caught in the rain and caught the wind and cold..."
Even in such a busy situation, Miss Ziqiu still managed to add soup to her bowl of vegetables.
While Xi Yu was listening to the jaw-dropping story and looking at such a fierce little girl, he suddenly thought of the little cook in the corridor just now, holding her chest and letting out a sigh of relief. After such a comparison, she felt more and more that she was from Jiangnan. What a girl’s house should look like!
Zi Qiu was completely unaware that he was being slandered like this. If he knew about it, Xi Yu would never be able to eat or drink water in this yard again.
It’s just that Miss Ziqiu doesn’t know it at this moment, so after telling Bai Xue’s story, she still has more to say, “Miss, just now I went to Mr. Chen’s yard, and I heard Bai Xue asking him if Miss Shen had offended you to be imprisoned. Those who entered the tower also asked whether more than one person was imprisoned in the tower... The slave girl felt strange when she heard that. She didn't tell where she heard about the previous one, but she just said how long it had been since Miss Shen moved to the tower. How did she know it again?"
Ziqiu bit her chopsticks and speculated to herself, "Is it possible that she has been staring at our tower? The purpose of the person behind her is in the tower?"
"He rashly alerted the snake... Such a person has not shown his tail until now. He stole a piece of handkerchief because of a moment of greed." Xi Yu leaned on the back of his chair, and his suddenly serious expression seemed to change. He shook his head as if he was alone, but still felt something was wrong, "Miss Shen doesn't seem to be very careful, but she still has the sensitivity she should have. I think... maybe the tower is just Bai Xue's recent goal, or... She only recently became interested in towers."
Ziqiu listened, nodding his head at one point or another, and asked after a while, "What's the difference?"
Seeing that she clearly didn't understand, Xi Yu shook her head, tapped the other party's bowl and chopsticks with her chopsticks, and reminded, "Of course there is a difference. If you dare to ask Mr. Chen about Talou's temperament so rashly, I'm afraid that In just these two days, she will definitely take action, we just need to... catch the turtle in the jar!"
Ji Wuyan curled his lips and smiled, the smile was meaningful.
All true heroes think alike.
