Value peace

Chapter 118

Two days later, as Wang Momo expected, Shang Zhengju sent that Liu Momo over.

When she visited Mrs. Wei, Gu Xiyan and Liu Meier were having breakfast with Mrs. Wei.

Grandma Liu is about fifty years old, with slanted eyes and crooked mouth, and trembling mouth when speaking, like a patient who has been insane and has not recovered. She knelt down for a long time and couldn't get up. Gu Xiyan saw Feeling sorry for her, Mrs. Wei didn't look at her with any impatience.After Madam Liu greeted her, Mrs. Wei asked about her physical condition with great concern. When she learned that Nanny Liu had some joint pain, she asked Bao Niang to bring Nanny Liu a bottle of medicinal wine : "This was brought back by Maosheng last year, and they said that it works very well. You should try it too."

With a grateful expression on her face, Nanny Liu saluted Mrs. Wei tremblingly.

It made Gu Xiyan feel a little worried, whether she could handle the big knife in the small kitchen like this.

After Madam Liu greeted Madam Wei, she went to the small kitchen. After a while, she drew up a menu for Mrs. Li to show to Bao Niang. He smiled and said: "She is an old man in the house, I can trust her. Pass on my words and let her make up her own mind about the meals for these few days!"

Gu Xiyan was slightly surprised by Madam Wei's trust in Madam Liu.So as soon as she came out from Mrs. Wei, Gu Xiyan proposed to Liu Meier to go to the kitchen to see the new cook, but Liu Meier hesitated for a while.Gu Xiyan knew that she was embroidering a picture of winter plums and snow in the past few days, and was planning to give it to Mrs. Xu as a New Year's gift, so she followed her to hang out in the small kitchen for a long time, and would delay her embroidery time.Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "Then you go back to embroider, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look and I'll be right back."

The time is indeed a bit urgent, Liu Mei'er has been busy with work these few nights, and she has not been polite to her.The two said goodbye under the eaves, and Duan Yingluo followed Gu Xiyan to the kitchen.

As soon as Gu Xiyan stepped into the small kitchen, she saw Mrs. Li in vain.

Seeing Gu Xiyan, Grandma Liu was also taken aback, and said hesitantly, "This girl..."

Gu Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed her knees to Nanny Wang, then introduced herself, and Grandma Li also threw away the dried lilies that were spreading out in the basin to make tea for them.

"Nurse Wang asked me to learn more from you." When the two sat down, Gu Xiyan said modestly.

When Nanny Liu heard this, a smile appeared on her face: "Mommy Wang mentioned to me when she left, that you have good craftsmanship. I am going to make a cup of lily pork ribs eight-treasure soup for my wife today, and the girl will help me taste it later. Taste."

Gu Xiyan happily agreed.

The so-called Lily Pork Rib Eight Treasure Soup is just a health-preserving soup made by stewing pork ribs with lily and eight kinds of vegetables as ingredients.

During this period, Gu Xiyan kept chatting with her, and soon, Gu Xiyan got a lot of clues about Mammy Liu's origin.

Sure enough, this Mammy Liu used to be in charge of Qi Han's meals in the kitchen of the outer courtyard, so she specialized in health-preserving soups, medicinal meals and the like. Before that, she was the chef of the small kitchen in Guiyuan.

Gu Xiyan took advantage of several women's yards to prepare vegetables, and looked gossiping: "Mrs. The small kitchen or the small kitchen of Xianji Courtyard will not ruin your skills."

Nanny Liu looked at the little girl with a concerned face in front of her, and smiled: "You are still young, and there are some things you don't understand. It's better not to be so conspicuous as a human being."

Gu Xiyan felt Liu Mama's loving eyes looking at her, pouted like a child, and said: "You are always like this, think we are small. But if I ask you seriously, one will shirk than the other. "

"You guys?" Nanny Liu laughed, she didn't look a bit like a madman, her mouth didn't crooked or her eyes slanted, "Who are they all?"

"My adoptive mother!" Gu Xiyan really thought of Duanniang at this moment, "Just like you!"

Nanny Liu looked at her more lovingly.

Gu Xiyan followed Mammy Liu around, handing her this and that from time to time, and when the pork rib soup was ready, Gu Xiyan tasted a few mouthfuls and was immediately full of praise.

"Nurse, you can accept me as an apprentice!" Gu Xiyan pleaded while sipping soup.

Nanny Liu smiled again: "As long as you can see it, follow me!"

In the next few days, Mammy Liu really treated Gu Xiyan as a junior, and carefully taught her how to make medicinal food and health-preserving soup.Gu Xiyan used to cook by herself and watched some gourmet shows on TV. Now that she has someone who guides her carefully and has a good foundation, her progress is naturally rapid. In addition, she is a time traveler after all. Being able to draw inferences from one instance, all this surprised and delighted Madam Liu, and she was very satisfied.

After working in the Qi family for so many years, he was finally pushed to work as an errand in the big kitchen of Shangzheng Bureau. It can be seen that he is a person with no heart.

Gu Xi's paint is good, once Madam Liu regards Gu Xiyan as one of her own, the chatterbox is like pouring beans, and Gu Xiyan can basically get what she asks.

For example, once Gu Xiyan asked her: "What kind of great cooks are there in Xianji Courtyard!"

Liu Nanny replied: "There is a Li Nanny who is good at making small dishes, there is a Qian Nanny who is good at making pastries, there is a Shen Nanny who is good at making pickles...there are many, and there are several cooks in the house. Almost all of them are there. Otherwise, during the Spring Festival, how could Nanny Zhong have no choice but to borrow people from various courtyards!"

Gu Xiyan rested her elbows on the table, and while watching Nanny Liu chopping the chicken nails, she said puzzledly: "I heard that Mrs. Xu brought the only daughter of the Duke, Mrs. Xu, when I entered the mansion that day. At that time, I also heard that her asthma attack, why is there no one who is good at making medicinal food?"

Nanny Liu looked around vigilantly and found no one else, so she warned her softly: "You are a guest here, don't talk nonsense."

During this period of time, Gu Xiyan expressed worry about her situation in front of Madam Liu several times.It seemed that Mammy Liu had heard her words in her heart.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "This is not a bad word!"

Nanny Liu hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Mrs. Helping in the small kitchen is to use my ability to cook medicinal food, but Mrs. Xu insists that Mrs. Ye is useless... I stayed in Dexin Courtyard for two months, and I couldn't use the stove once. Later, Wei Madam knows, but there is nothing she can do about it. What's more, other people..."

Gu Xiyan let out a soft "Ouch", with a look of disbelief: "Could it be that Mrs. Xu dares to say what you say..."

Nanny Liu smiled wryly: "Master was busy every day in the Northwest Camp, and every time he finally found time to come back to see Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Xu would just smile and say anything, so don't worry... he How do you know these things?"

"Madam Ye, why don't you tell me?"

Grandma Liu sighed.

"Mrs. Ye, she is a good person, but she is too... partial. Everything is good for Xizhao, and bad for Yandi. For some reason, no matter how close you are, who can kiss your parents and husband better. She didn't say anything to Master, and she seldom came to Huaiyuan. She listened to Mrs. Xu in everything, and Mrs. Wei..." When she said this, she immediately stopped talking, "Mrs. Among the ladies, she is the most beautiful. She once said, "Although a woman looks good for herself, she should look good for herself." Today we might as well make her "Bai Zhi Duo Treasure Fish Soup" to nourish her spirit. The blood can also lighten the spots, Mrs. Wei must like it."

How could Gu Xiyan let her just get away with it like this, and put her arms around Nanny Liu's shoulders: "Don't worry, Mammy, I know the depths, and there are some things that I would never say no matter what."

Nanny Liu forced a smile.

"Turboyu, is there any turbot in this place?" Gu Xiyan would not push people into a corner, and followed Mammy Liu's words.

Mother Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Young lady, you don't know what kind of mansion this is. There are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't get..."

Gu Xiyan's thoughts turned to Qi Maosheng who was far away in Hongtai.

I don't know when this guy will come back?
How is the war going?
If the battle is defeated, everything about the Qi family, grievances, hatred, blood and tears, will be just a shadow behind history...

Is there any point in this kind of camping?

Gu Xiyan's eyes gradually became confused.

Nanny Liu could see clearly from the side, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Gu Xiyan was awakened by this sigh, and when she looked up, she saw Liu Mama's eyes with pity.

"Girl, you must have been entrusted by Mrs. Wei to come here!"

In the tone, infinite sigh.

Gu Xiyan thought about it, nodded, with a helpless face: "...There is no other way, and I don't want to do this..."

Seeing what she said, Grandma Liu became more at ease.He smiled and said, "My lord, I'm not a bad person. Although I'm very cold towards people, I know how to love them. I'm so busy, I go to Chengxi Courtyard every time I come back. If that day comes, don't be frightened by him, you should take care of yourself." Serve him, but I watched him grow up..."

Gu Xiyan hesitated and said: "But others say, Mrs. Ye, it's the Lord who..."

It seems that Mammy Liu has a good impression of Qi Maosheng.Before Gu Xiyan could speak, an angry look immediately appeared on her face, coupled with her crooked mouth and slanted eyes, she looked very ferocious, startled Gu Xiyan, and swallowed what she hadn't said.

"Those people are talking nonsense." Nanny Liu retorted fiercely, "other people don't know that I am in the small kitchen in the outer courtyard, serving the hot water, tea and rice for the Lord. I think back then, the old man When he was alive, the small kitchen in the outer courtyard was just a decoration, and when he stayed overnight in the courtyard, the ladies were not vying to serve...Only our master, taking care of Mrs. Ye's face, joined hands in the small kitchen when he came back, and always ate a few casually White steamed buns with two plates of pickles..." After speaking, she seemed to be very heartbroken, and tears fell down. "There are also those nuns from Xizhao. How about our Xizhao, how about our Ye Mansion, if you want to enter Mrs. Ye's room, you have to look at the eyes of those nuns, and Mrs. Xu is also saying what To shame Mrs. Ye with the words, "Madam should be more serious"...they are husband and wife, not concubines...they squeezed Aunt Gao, who was in charge of the inner courtyard, so that there was no room for her."

Gu Xiyan was very surprised, and also excited that she suddenly bought a lottery ticket and won the first prize.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the churning emotions in her heart, and said, "But I heard that Aunt Gao caused Madam Ye to have a miscarriage because she didn't take good care of her..."
