Farming with medicine

Chapter 141 The Woman Like Fire
143
On the old bluestone slab road, the sound of horseshoes trampling in the dust like a gust of wind and rain came, and the horseshoes neighed wherever they went, and pedestrians gave way one after another. He suddenly stopped outside the medicine store.

The woman in red got off her horse neatly, raised her eyebrows and looked at the plaque on the medicine store, and said in a slightly angry tone, "Is this why Bai Xinghe has delayed the day?" Without waiting for the accompanying person to answer, the woman in red put away the whip and whipped the plaque. The volley broke into two halves.

The entourage around him was already commonplace, calmly ordered someone to pick up the broken plaque and throw it into the mansion, "Miss, calm down."

"Calm down? I want to ask Bai Xinghe what he thinks of me."

Cardamom had just put the bamboo dishes to be used today into the warm water to scrub, when there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, Bai Xinghe's guards rushed from outside the door to the inner courtyard.

The movements of the servants obviously quickened, and they gave way one after another. Those who couldn't dodge lowered their heads and lowered their hands and stood on both sides of the road. A woman in red was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She doesn't even have Zhi Buyao or Zhu Chai, but the fierce arrogance around her makes people dare not doubt her status as a lady.

She is dressed in red like fire, and she is even more conspicuous in the greenery of the garden. The cardamom can be seen clearly through the plants of different heights.

"Bai Xinghe, get out," the woman in red flicked the whip in the air, and after a crisp sound, at the end of the vermilion corridor, Bai Xinghe came lazily dressed in white. Seeing her, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. A smiling face, "Miss Hong, long time no see."

The guards guarded Bai Xinghe's side, with their bodies slightly forward, their eyes always on guard against the whip in the woman's hand.

"Bai Xinghe, do you know what the day is in January? I want to have a bridal chamber with you, right now!"

Angrily, the woman threw the whip to the followers behind her, rushed to the opposite side of Bai Xinghe with an angry face, grabbed Bai Xinghe's collar and dragged him to the corridor.

"Mingyue, what are you doing? My guards are watching, please show me some face," Bai Xinghe pretended to be cool one second before begging for mercy when he saw Hong Mingyue making a move the next second.

Where Cardamom washes the dishes, you can see Bai Xinghe and the woman in red talking face to face from a slant. The woman in red is similar to the woman in the scroll in Bai Xinghe's tea room, but not as gentle as the woman in the painting , the woman in front of me has a fiery temperament.

"Ahem, Mingyue, let's talk about what you have to eat beforehand. I specially found a cook to cook your favorite sweet and sour dishes. You must be hungry after traveling all the way," Bai Xinghe coughed a few times and threw it to The guard gave him a look, then said with a smile on his face, "Go, rest first, it's a big deal, we'll talk about it after dinner."

Although Hong Mingyue's face still had lingering anger, her attitude softened obviously, she loosened her hands, and let go of Bai Xinghe's collar, "Okay, I'll give you a chance."

The guard came to the kitchen in a hurry to check the food. Cardamom didn't cook at all except for making some sour plum soup today. When the guard came in, she dropped what she was holding and ran to the stove, planning to make a sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

"Miss cardamom, please, we also like to eat, Miss Hong also likes to eat, you have seen it too, if you don't eat well in a while, I am afraid that you and my son will suffer," the guard said. While talking, he looked in the direction he came from just now with lingering fear, and shook his head after speaking, and left.

The noon menu is almost done. Cardamom cooks by himself, making a sweet and sour pork, and a pineapple rice with fresh pineapple. Even though the fat aunt is helping, it still took a full hour for several dishes , It was not until the maids urged for the third time that the dishes began to be served.

Bai Xinghe's personal servant girl came to the kitchen, the one who reminded Dou Kou not to use the white willow-eyebrow maid.

"Doukou, come with me quickly, the lady wants to see you, let me tell you, don't say anything wrong later," the little maid pulled the confused-looking Doukou over to the corridor.

Cardamom thought as she walked, she didn't use white things in the dishes, and she didn't put food in white dishes, so what can I do with her? "

The door of the main hall was open, and the polished mahogany round table was full of dishes. It seemed that the two of them didn't eat much. Bai Xinghe sat on one side with a straight face, and Hong Mingyue saw the maid leading him over, and said expressionlessly, "Everyone who has nothing to do, get back."

The servant girl made a bow and said yes, then bowed and retreated. Dou Kou followed the example of the servant girl and made a bow, then stood with her head down and her hands down.

"You are Bai Xinghe's cook?" Hong Mingyue looked around Cardamom with a long voice full of doubts, "A very ordinary girl."

"Mingyue, don't scare her," Bai Xinghe saw Hong Mingyue circling around the cardamom, he couldn't help being a little worried that this fiery Hong Mingyue would make a move.

"Bai Xinghe, what do you mean, do you think I'm going to hit someone? Am I that unreasonable?" Hong Mingyue turned back to her seat and said to Dou Kou, "Raise your head and sit down."

Cardamom and Bai Xinghe looked at each other, seeing the look he threw at them, said thank you or something, and sat down at the table.

"In front of Miss Ben, there is no distinction. I called you here because I wanted to ask you something," Hong Mingyue smiled, and Cardamom saw a flash of red in front of her eyes, and the dishes in front of her were full of vegetables.

This cardamom looked up at the red moon.

Sure enough, it was the woman in the scroll, the gentleness was probably Bai Xinghe's imagination, the woman in front of him was as red as fire, with a bright smile, and fair skin like the winter snow in the scroll.

"What the cardamom knows, you should know everything without saying anything."

"Would you like to go to Beijing with Miss Ben and live in a bigger house?" After Hong Mingyue asked, Bai Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and Dou Ko stared blankly at the woman with a bright smile in front of her.

She hastily cast her eyes for help to Bai Xinghe, but Bai Xinghe avoided her sight, coughed a few times and said, "Mingyue, you sit down first, I'll get the things for you."

Bai Xinghe found an excuse and slipped away, only cardamom and Hong Mingyue were left in the room looking at each other, and a table of delicacies that had barely touched their chopsticks.

"You don't have to feel flattered, if Bai Xinghe didn't say that he likes to eat the food you cook, this lady can tie him back today." After Hong Mingyue finished speaking, she took a bite of the food, tasted it and said in admiration, "It's really delicious, much better than those flattering cooks in the house."

Cardamom took a sip of water to force himself to calm down, "Miss, Cardamom has family here, so don't bother Miss to take the cardamom back home."

"No."

Doukou said in embarrassment, "Miss, let Doukou go home and discuss with parents." Doukou wanted to use the strategy of delaying the attack, let's go out first and then talk.

Hong Mingyue's smile froze when she heard the words, her eyes turned red, "Forget it, I think your parents will definitely not agree, unlike me, my parents don't discuss everything with me."
