Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 164

"What a sneaky death, my young master is here to watch the scenery, is it considered a sneaky death? Go back and tell my mother, I will kick you all out with a big stick." Zhao Hao said angrily, seeing the beauty who was about to get it slipped away. Let's go, so angry that I started to work harder.

The housekeeper hurried out when he heard the movement, scolded the nurse, and quickly accompanied the young master back to his room.

Shiliu returned to the room in shock, only to see Mo Qingli on the bed leisurely turning over, as if startled by the sound of her closing the door, and asked in a daze, "Where did you go?"

Shi Liu was startled, managed to calm down and said, "I, I'm going to the latrine."

Mo Qingli responded and urged, "Hurry up and sleep."

Pomegranate was lying on the bed with lingering fears. Mo Qingli heard her breathing heavily. She must have been frightened in the garden. Mo Qingli was a little helpless. She didn't want to disturb Pomegranate, but she was worried that she would miss her again. Go elsewhere.

This matter can be big or small. If it is small, it means that someone stepped on the floor tiles unintentionally. If it is big, it means that someone wants to assassinate and expose it in advance. There, Pomegranate was able to cover himself and escape, and Zhao Hao, who had been bumped into a good thing, must have turned into anger and vented his anger on those aggressive guards. Those guards were beaten up, and they would not dare to speak out. It was a trick played by Zhao Hao. After all, Zhao Hao has a reputation for flirtatiousness. This incident seemed to be a big deal, but it was covered up smoothly.

At that time, Mo Qingli ran to the garden in a hurry, but this time she also felt that although the county guard's mansion is not as heavily guarded as the palace, it still has many secret protection methods, but you have Zhang Liangji, and I have a wall ladder If you can't find the dark ones, I'll look for the bright ones.

In the early morning, Zhao Richeng, the county guard, said with a straight face: "What happened last night, what kind of noise did you make in the middle of the night?"

The magistrate's wife hurriedly said: "Stop making noise, Hao'er just went out for a walk in the middle of the night when he was tired from studying, it's because those nurses are too stupid to catch the good young master as a thief, where is his brain going?" gone?"

The butler hurriedly apologized underneath.

Zhao Richeng snorted coldly, "Reading, as far as his virtue is concerned, does it look like reading?"

"Father, the boy was indeed tired from studying yesterday, so he walked around the garden." Zhao Hao said aggrieved hurriedly under the cover of his mother.

The magistrate's wife immediately picked up a chopstick of food for Zhao Hao and said, "Don't talk to your father, let's eat."

Seeing his wife protecting his son so much, Zhao Richeng had nothing to do, after all, he came here with the support of his father-in-law, so he could only eat with a sullen face.

"Today's rice porridge is delicious." Zhao Hao said after taking a sip of the rice porridge.

The magistrate's wife took a sip and said in surprise: "Indeed, it has a faint sweet fragrance, which is not the taste of the past at all. Who cooked it today?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Returning to Madam, the two cooks who were invited yesterday were worried that the cooking would not suit the taste of the Master and Madam, so today they only arranged for the two of them to cook rice porridge."

Zhao Hao took the pomegranate by heart, and quickly said: "Hurry up and bring them here, today's porridge is delicious, and I must give it a good reward."

The magistrate's wife also thought it was fresh, and she hadn't read it carefully yesterday, but she didn't expect that the cooking skills are really extraordinary.

Pomegranate didn't sleep well last night, and she was lazy today, so Mo Qingli kindly asked her to rest more and cook porridge for her. lady.

"It must be that you are not doing well. We have been doing the work for so many years, and there must be no difference. Are you confused? Madam is very picky. Wait for the punishment." A group of original people in the kitchen The cook was originally repulsed by this newcomer, but now she saw Madam summoning her while she was having dinner, and said gloatingly one by one.

Mo Qingli is confident in her craftsmanship. Pomegranate didn't do anything. Hearing what they said, half of her heart went cold in an instant. She obviously didn't do anything. I knew I wouldn't be lazy. Who would have thought that yesterday's craftsmanship was outstanding? Today's cook can't even cook rice porridge well.

After arriving in front of Madam, Shiliu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam Mingjian, that porridge was made by Shi Lan alone, it has nothing to do with slaves."

Mo Qingli slightly bent her lips and said, "It was indeed done by the servant alone."

The magistrate's wife was a little surprised. She always competed for credit, and this was the first time she met someone who pushed credit outside.

Zhao Hao was also a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about, didn't the two of you cook today's porridge together?"

Pomegranate was afraid of getting involved, so she hurriedly said: "Returning to the young master, my servant suffered from the wind and cold yesterday, and today I feel a little uncomfortable, so Shi Lan said that I want to cook for my servant."

"That's right. That's none of your business. You can step back first. If you feel unwell, you can go to the doctor at the house to see it." Sheriff's wife said.

Pomegranate was lucky to keep the errand, and left happily.

The magistrate's wife looked at Mo Qingli and smiled, "You made this porridge, the craftsmanship is really good."

Zhao Hao looked at Mo Qingli, and washed away the dust on his face yesterday. This small face was quite fair, and those dark eyes looked very agile, and they were quite pretty. I was wrong yesterday.

Of course, Mo Qingli noticed Zhao Hao's scrutiny, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It was not a bad thing for her to have such a daring idiot.

"Thank you Madam for the compliment, if Madam likes it, it is a blessing for a slave." Mo Qingli said with her head bowed.

The sheriff's wife's eyes were still sharp, seeing Mo Qingli's behavior so well-behaved, she couldn't help asking: "You don't look like an ordinary commoner, have you ever been a maid before?"

Mo Qingli nodded and said, "This servant used to be a cook."

"Your cooking skills are not bad, why doesn't the original owner continue to use you?" The magistrate's wife, as a woman, is naturally most concerned about this.

Mo Qingli smiled, "The master wants to move to the north, but the servants don't want to go north, so they won't work there."

There is nothing interesting to listen to. This servant girl looks very honest and boring, but it is good for such a person to be a cook, and she is a down-to-earth person. That's right, Madam Ben always rewards every kindness, so let me make clothes for you with two bolts of silk."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Mo Qingli thanked her and stepped back in a polite manner.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that the monthly fee will be increased." When Mo Qingli walked into the kitchen, several cooks in the kitchen said angrily.

"He is capable, and I don't know what is added to the porridge. What we make is porridge, but what they make is different. It is a good thing." Someone said, eating sunflower seeds.

Pomegranate secretly gritted her teeth angrily.

Someone else asked with a smile: "Miss Pomegranate, didn't you two make this porridge? Why did you get nothing while others got silk?"

Shiliu said, "I'm clumsy with my tongue, how can anyone know how to speak?"

Mo Qingli smiled when she heard the words, "It's not wrong for Madam to praise me. I did add something to the porridge, which can make the porridge more fragrant and sweet. Do you want to know what I added?"

The cooks were moved when they heard the words, a bowl of porridge can make the lady reward two bolts of silk, if they learn it by themselves, it is a skill.

Shiliu couldn't help looking at Mo Qingli, she didn't believe that someone could cook porridge for other tricks.

Mo Qingli raised her lips and showed a big smile. She let out a long sigh of relief, and just when everyone couldn't wait, she smiled viciously, "I won't say it."

Disappointment suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, Shi Liu said: "Shi Lan, everyone is doing the same thing, if there is any way, we should communicate together, if everyone hides their secrets, that would be bad, maybe you will be alone in the future to do it all?"

"That's right, Shi Lan, we all know that you are good at cooking, but no matter how good your cooking skills are, you can't do everything. We still have to work." The other cooks said one after another.

Mo Qingli smiled, "So what?"

"Shi Lan, everyone is working for the Sheriff's Mansion. It's a little too selfish for you to keep secrets like this. Pomegranate came in with you, but you took the credit for others and enjoyed it all for yourself. Sisters who work together, If you still want to be so mean, then everyone don’t do it, let’s report to the sheriff’s wife, you can manage the kitchen by yourself.” A hot-tempered one immediately untied the apron around his waist and said angrily.

Generally, if someone makes trouble, the madam will deal with the leader. If a bunch of cooks say that the new cook is not good, then the madam must calm down the anger and drive the new cook out. The old cooks have this in mind , so I'm not afraid to make a fuss.

A cook took the lead, and the people below immediately yelled that they quit and wanted to go back to Madam's words. They thought they were so noisy, and the new cook would definitely want to make big things small and small things small. Unexpectedly, They miscalculated.

Hearing this, Mo Qingli said flatly: "Since you are going to find Madam, go ahead, do you think that I will be afraid? Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-handed cooks are rare." , when the time comes, I will be the biggest in the whole back kitchen. The people below just need to obey my orders. I promise to run my wife’s errands in a harmonious and beautiful way. As for you, you can go wherever you want. I’m just cooking porridge Madam personally rewarded me, do you think I can only cook porridge?"

The cooks looked at each other, they were just bullying the little ones, they really thought that Madam would not drive away a group of cooks because of one cook, but she really has real skills, if Madam judges this Shi Lan's craftsmanship, yes She was very satisfied, and it was not difficult to dismiss them. They were also worried about this, and they deliberately opposed Shi Lan, trying to force her to back down, but Shi Lan didn't expect that at all.
