The concubine is coming, please be gentle, my lord

Chapter 2 The Cook
It's strange to say that the cooks of the Ming palace come and go, there are at least 50 of them, and each of them can't cook for a long time. The women have to leave the mansion not long after they come in, and the men come in. It's okay at first, but after a long time, they also lose face Palely clamoring to leave.

Later, rumors began to flow, saying that what is Mingwang's mansion is Pluto's mansion, the ominous, everyone who enters will dream of blood flowing all over the ground, all kinds of monsters and ghosts are eating human corpses, and the sound of chewing and choking It often wakes people up with fright, and keeps their eyes open until dawn.

If one person says it's fine, everyone who came out said so, for a while the people in the Shamen Pass avoided this Ming Palace, fearing that it would be bad luck.

When he found out about this, Mai Qian was speechless for a long time. He also grew up here, but he never dreamed of any ghosts. Since the prince was mostly in the barracks, his father was also by his side, so only the nursing home and him, There are also a few servants, men from the whole family, who are said to have a very strong yang energy, so how could it be possible to be haunted.

Hey, it would be great if he could see ghosts. He would definitely catch two to vent his anger. If it weren't for them, how could the Ming Palace not be able to recruit a cook until now? If he can't find any more today, maybe his father is really cruel Kick him to the kitchen.

"Are you still recruiting a cook?" Gu Xiaoqian looked at the sighing person with a pure face.Ever since I found out that Gu Xiao Ao was working under King Ming's tent yesterday, it just so happened that King Ming's mansion recently recruited cooks. Thinking about it, they would not be able to go to the barracks. If they entered King Ming's mansion, they might not meet Gu Xiao Ao.The most important thing is that they just came to Shamenguan, and they also need a place to stay.

"You are from out of town." Mai Qian said with certainty.

"Are you only looking for locals as cooks?" Gu Xiaoqian asked with some distress. No wonder the passers-by next to him had a constipated expression when it was mentioned yesterday that the Ming Palace was recruiting cooks. Thinking about it, it's not surprising Well, if someone of unknown origin is recruited, and a handful of poison is put into the pot, they may all die.

"To be the cook of the Ming Palace, you have to work for two years. Do you agree?" Mai Qian asked calmly, with a serious face, but in fact he was uneasy. Finally, a cook came, although he looked young and tall. Xiao Xiao, but, if he continues to be like the previous people and leaves suddenly after a while, his career for the rest of his life will be carried out in the kitchen.

"No problem, but there are two of us!" Gu Xiaoqian pointed at Gu Xiaoshan, smiling more innocently.

Two cooks?

Mai Qian glanced at Gu Xiaoshan calmly. He was tall, but too thin. He stood there crookedly, and his eyes were shrewd.

"Haha, don't look at him as a man, he can cook good food." Gu Xiaoqian said, he took out a knife out of nowhere, and then took out a carrot and handed it to Gu Xiaoshan: "Come on, give this Grandpa, let's perform."

Gu Xiaoshan didn't have any ink marks, he held the knife in his right hand, and pressed his left hand in front of the radish head, only to hear "chop, chop, chop", his hand was extremely fast, but after a while, a small radish turned into a small pile of white filaments.

"Okay, just you guys." Mai Qian said calmly, laughing like a flower in his heart.

Gu Xiaoqian and Gu Xiaoshan looked at each other, so easy?

Walking in the corridor of Prince Ming's Mansion, the courtyard is really not big, probably in early spring, the courtyard is very depressed, the trees are all bare, except for a few guards in the front yard, there are no extra people in sight.

Gu Xiaoqian felt a little uneasy in her heart, how could this look like a prince's mansion?Is it really because the conditions in Shamenguan are too difficult, so this arrangement is not bad?

"This courtyard is where you live." Mai Qian's words interrupted Gu Xiaoqian's wild thoughts.

The courtyard looks like it has been around for some years, it is an independent inner courtyard, which looks very small at first glance.

"Live here?" Gu Xiaoshan repeated in a strange tone, and when he saw Mai Qian nodded, he immediately expressed his attitude, "My mother can say, my life is light, and I can't live in this kind of single-family courtyard. Datong shop will do.”

"I live here." Gu Xiaoqian gave Gu Xiaoshan a big roll of his eyes, and happily pushed the door in. Although the yard is a bit small, there is a rare clump of moso bamboo growing tenaciously in the corner, and the touch of green is particularly pleasing to the eye. .

Gu Xiaoshan shook the goosebumps on his back, and didn't worry about where Gu Xiaoqian lived, so he quickly found an excuse to trick Mai Qian into taking him to look elsewhere.

night.

Gu Xiaoqian was sure that she was dreaming, but unfortunately she couldn't move her body.

She didn't know where she was standing, and all she could see was the ultimate red. The sky, the ground, and even the air were wrapped in this red, and she couldn't see other colors except red.

The surrounding area was also deadly quiet.

Staying for a while will give people the illusion that it is difficult to breathe.

……

Early in the morning, Mai Qian's heart began to restless, not because of the delay in breakfast.

Rather, yesterday, one of the new chefs - Gu Xiaoshan's expression made him care too much, as if there were some ghosts and ghosts hiding in the small courtyard, and he didn't want to get close.

"Mai Qian, is it early?" Mai Tiller looked at his son's absent-minded look, and the word Chuan between his eyebrows deepened a bit.

"Ah?" Mai Qian looked dazed, waiting to see his father's face clearly, "Ah! Come on early, I'll go and see."

As he said that, he immediately disappeared in front of McTile.

"Old Mai, occasionally you have to smile at Mai, see how you scare him?" Huo Feitian stood by the door of the hall and suggested with a smile.

Mai Ti Le did not answer, looked at the direction of Mai Qian's departure for a long time.

When Mai Qian rushed to the kitchen, he heard Gu Xiaoqian and Gu Xiaoao talking.Unconsciously, his footsteps were lightened, and he stood outside the kitchen door and listened.

"Gu Xiaoqian, didn't you sleep well last night?" Gu Xiaoshan asked gloatingly.

"En." Gu Xiaoqian replied with a big yawn.

"Have you encountered anything?" Gu Xiaoshan dragged a small bench, and sat down next to Gu Xiaoqian in a cheap way. He thought he had no other specialties, but he was a little bit obsessed with certain things. I saw him yesterday. Xiaoyuan, instinctively, the body began to resist.

"This." Gu Xiaoqian laughed suddenly, which made Gu Xiaoshan even more curious, and Mai Qian also leaned forward, wanting to listen more carefully.

"Okay, the steamed buns are cooked, hurry up and bring them here." Gu Xiaoqian stood up from the stove door, "Wait a minute, you clean up the kitchen, and I'll go catch a nap, I'm so sleepy."

"Hey, Gu Xiaoqian, you haven't finished talking yet." Gu Xiaoshan shouted, knowing that Gu Xiaoqian would play this trick, every time the conversation came to a critical juncture, he just didn't say it, which made people curious.

Gu Xiaoqian ignored Gu Xiaoshan, stepped out the door, saw Mai Qian touching his nose in embarrassment, and nodded as a greeting.

In fact, she didn't dream of anything that frightened her last night. She has also seen black and white, and she has stepped on the Naihe Bridge several times. She wanted to dream of something scary, but nothing but red is red.

As for the reason for not sleeping well, it was just a change of environment and the quality of sleep was not high.

Turning around a corridor in a daze, when looking up, Gu Xiaoqian's feet seemed to be frozen. In the warm sunlight, a man stood at the other end of the corridor, with his back straight. Blocked out.

With broad shoulders, thin waist and long legs, Emma and Gu Xiaoqian dare to guarantee that even if they can't see the front, he is definitely a handsome guy.

The person at the other end of the corridor clearly felt that someone was watching him, but he just turned his head and looked in Gu Xiaoqian's direction coldly, there was neither sadness nor joy nor anger in his eyes.

Gu Xiaoqian immediately thought of the bloody dream, and walked away at a speed of 180 yards, with goosebumps appearing densely on her body.

With her body stiff, Gu Xiaoqian returned a big smile.

As if he didn't see it, the man turned his head and stood there silently.

Gu Xiaoqian, who felt that he had recovered his life, didn't worry too much about it, turned around and walked back immediately.
