The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 55
[4500, two in one]

noon.

Inside the big kitchen of Rongguo Mansion.

The portrait of the Kitchen Lord was polished brightly, and new couplets were replaced on both sides.

Letter: God says good things.

The next book: Return to the palace to descend auspiciousness.

Horizontal batch: East Chef's life master.

"Serve the candy to the Lord of the Stove~!"

With the shouting of Wu Xindeng, the third housekeeper, a plate of Kanto candy that was half a person's height was carried to the makeshift table.

"Let's feed the Immortal Horse of the Kitchen Lord~!"

This time, it was a small half-cylinder of carefully selected beans.

Afterwards, various tributes were offered one after another, and it was not until Nanuoda's offering table could no longer be placed that Wu Xindeng began to pray eloquently.

"There is food in the mouth, no evil words, horses prepare the ingredients, go early and return early! Today, good men and women believe in women, special..."

Laishunyin was at the back of the line, so he could hear the beginning clearly, and Wu Xindeng's speech became faster and faster, and he couldn't hear it very clearly even when he hummed and sang.

At the beginning, he was among the many small butlers, and looking at the solemn and solemn posture in front of him, it was quite novel.

After all, in the daily life of later generations, such ritualistic feudal superstition activities are almost impossible to see.

but……

Novelty is something that can't help but be wasted.

As time went on, Laishun gradually became irritable, and looking at the front, it was not a sense of ritual, but a full-fledged nonsense.

With great difficulty, he waited until Jia She and Jia Zheng took the lead in offering the incense, and then sent the [burning] kitchen lord to the sky. Taking advantage of the efforts of the stewards to come forward to flatter him, he quietly took some cakes, and then left with oil on the soles of his feet. the kitchen.

"Come in charge, come in charge!"

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard someone say hello from behind, and Laishun turned around to check, but a cook on the stove chased after him.

Laishun secretly called it unlucky, handed the cake over, and said with a smirk, "I'm just afraid of missing the show, so I want to make up for it first."

"Misunderstood, misunderstood!"

The cook hurriedly placed a rattle in her hand, and then smiled and handed over a package of jerky, "I think you are taking small bits and pieces, whether you are full or hungry, how can this happen?"

It turned out not to be chasing dim sum, but to offer hospitality.

Laishun took over the jerky, and seeing that it was all high-quality yak meat, he smiled and asked, "I don't know what your sister-in-law is called?"

"My husband's family name is Liu."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Liu, I have written down this feeling."

Lai Shun said, he raised the jerky in his hand at her, and turned his head away.

The sister-in-law Liu looked at Shun Yuan with delighted eyes, turned around and was about to turn back to the kitchen, but someone outside the courtyard door probed and called out, "Mother, mother!"

Sister Liu stopped, and when she looked back, she was a very delicate-looking girl.

"Five children?"

She was taken aback, hurriedly wiping her hands with her apron to greet her, and whispered, "What are you doing here at this time? Don't be afraid of the wind!"

That Liu Wuer said timidly, "Father told me to take the jerky back, so that I can make sacrifices to the Lord of the Stove."

"What kind of sacrifice to the Lord of the Stove, I think he wants to sacrifice to his own five internal organs temple!"

Sister-in-law Liu complained angrily, and then urged her daughter, "You hurry back and don't run around again - wait for a few days to recover from your illness, and my mother will find you a good errand!"

"Ah."

Liu Wuer replied obediently, but then asked about the meat.

Sister Liu said displeasedly: "You just said I'll take it to raise a man - go back and let him drink a few cups of cat urine!"

…………

However, he said that he took the snacks and jerky all the way to the big flower hall in the northwest corner.

This land and Lixiangyuan are just opposite each other, but since there are no female dependents, it is not a serious home.

The big flower hall has been looking at it for some years, but it is still very stylish, and there are as many as three light doors.

The left and right corner doors are slightly smaller, and the middle door is enough to allow cars and sedan cars to enter and exit.

Because he came early, the inside was not fully prepared, and not even half of the spectators were present. The stage was empty, and there were only a dozen servants busy under the stage.

Laishunyin entered through the right door, so he planned to take a seat nearby, but just after he chose a table near the door, a servant came up with a smile on his face.

"Come in charge, this is the women's seat, I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

Laishun was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out that this pattern should be distributed according to the male left and the female right.

As for the large area in the middle, the place surrounded by translucent colored yarn is naturally the seat of the old ladies.

So Laishun again, under the guidance of the little servant, turned to the left seat and took a seat.

The little servant was probably afraid of Laishun's resentment, so he asked for a pot of tea from somewhere, most of which was a plate of melon seeds and peanuts, and respectfully placed it in front of Laishun, and said, "Come in charge of things, if there is anything else you need, just tell the little one. ."

"I'm just here to occupy a space first, you can do your own thing."

Laishun waved the boy back casually, spread out the dim sum jerky on the melon seed plate, and ate it with tea.

It took another half an hour or so before the guests finally arrived one after another.

More than half of them were young maids and servants, but they didn't dare to sit down directly, but huddled in the corners, looking so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

It's a bit of a star chaser attitude.

It seems that today's appearance is still quite famous.

After a while, Mrs. Xu also hurried over. Seeing that her son was waiting inside, she was satisfied, and then ordered Lai Shun: "Go to the side and wait, the old lady will be there in a while!"

Saying that, he pointed to his eyes again, obviously reminding his son to look carefully.

Laishun naturally wanted to take a look, but he wasn't looking at any maid, but wanted to see the real face of Baochai.

So he stuffed the last beef jerky into his mouth, grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts, and then Shi Shiran found a position against the wall.

At the same time, Mrs Xu came to the backstage in a hurry, probably to discuss with the troupe master when to debut and so on.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, I saw that the closed door was separated from left to right, revealing a small sedan chair and fifty or sixty women!

Laishun hurriedly widened his eyes and searched for the girl suspected of Baochai in the middle of the crowd.

however……

This large group of people crowded around the sedan chair, hurrahing into the hall, and the maid and old woman who were leading the charge came forward to respond.

There is a perimeter inside and outside, not to mention Baochai, even Laishun can't see what Mrs. Wang's life looks like.

By the time he wanted to settle for the next best thing and find a few peripheral maids to have fun, the large army had already got into the veil tent.

There are only a few middle-aged women and a dozen or so little girls who have not grown up, who are busy going in and out.

Next, the men came in one after another.

What else is there to see?

Laishun's anger was relieved, and after the grand opening of the show, it was even more difficult to watch it.

Wrong Fei also wanted to make a mess with his mother, and if he couldn't say it, he would run away.

It took another half an hour for Xu to call him out for questioning.

Because my mother asked carefully, Laishun didn't even see it clearly, so how could she say one, two, or three.

So he had to admit that a lot of people came in just now, which made him dazzled and couldn't tell who was who.

"Mother, I'm afraid this method won't work, let's wait until the end of the year and then slowly touch it."

Come and say, just wait for the good luck.

But he didn't want to be grabbed by the Xu family, and ordered: "Then you can wait until the evening, after the second watch [[-] o'clock in the evening], the courtyards should be dispersed one after another, and then you can take a closer look!"

Laishun grimaced: "This..."

"What is this? That's it!"

Xu Shi said, and warned him: "When the second grandma goes home and rests, I will come to check the post!"

got~
Don't say anything, just stay here next to each other.

After serving for more than an hour, Laishun did two things: eating melon seeds and recognizing people's heads.

But what he recognized was not a maid, but Mingyan, an enemy he had been thinking about all along.

I have to say that this kid is much more handsome than his own skin.

It may be a little worse than Pan Youan, but he has a smart temperament, and he is not stingy, making people want to get close.

It is estimated that the 'original owner' was deceived by this appearance, so he would be fooled.

Of course, Laishun didn't envy his looks. After all, he was thicker, so there was nothing wrong with him.

After carefully recognizing Ming Yan's appearance, he saw that it was more than halfway through the first day of school, and Laishun was applauded by Gao Qi on the stage and the audience, making him a little dizzy.

So I thought about it, go out first to get some fresh air, and it's not too late to come back until the second watch - I hope that Baochai will also leave scattered, instead of continuing to follow the big army.

Because the snow that fell a few days ago has not yet melted, the air outside is refreshing.

While pacing back and forth at the door, he moved his muscles and bones, and from time to time passers-by cast strange glances, and he unknowingly walked to a remote corner.

"do not come!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the front.

Laishun's eyes widened and he followed the sound, but it was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl who was standing in front of a bush.

This is……

Before she could think about it clearly, what the little girl was doing to stop herself, the bushes shook, and a rather embarrassed little woman flashed out.

Upon closer inspection, she was actually an acquaintance—grandmother Huang in the East Hutong, because she used to go to her restaurant for a toothbrush before Laishun, so she bumped into her two or three times and said a dozen or so words.

Seeing that it was Laishun, Grandma Huang felt a little embarrassed on her face. She held her handkerchief and hesitated again and again before she stepped forward and bowed slightly: "It turns out that she is here to take care of things, but you haven't been to our place for a while."

Laishun also guessed at this time that she chose to solve the problem in the open air because there were too many people queuing in front of the women's toilet.

Naturally, he wouldn't expose such embarrassing things, and smiled and bowed, saying, "I've been busy for a few days, and I've been sick for a few days. I'm afraid I might not have time to go a few years ago, but if you receive something after the year. Treasures from the mountains and seas, you must leave some for me."

"Of course not!"

When Grandma Huang saw that he had not exposed her actions just now, a smile appeared on her face, and she responded with a full mouth, and pointed to the big flower hall not far away: "I have to go to Sister-in-law You's place to support, wait until the end. Come to our store in [-], and let our boss personally entertain you."

"It's okay, just please."

Laishun also hurriedly stretched out his hand, but after saying this, he felt that something was not right.

Fortunately, Grandma Huang didn't think much about it, and walked back to the big flower hall with the corners of her skirt in hand.

After Laishun watched the figures of her and the little maid disappear from the door, he couldn't help but remembered the situation when he headed back to the East Hutong liquor store.

At that time, because Grandma Huang looked at her many times, she thought she had met someone who knew the goods.

Now it seems that it is self-indulgent.

That's right, with her fierce appearance, how could there be a woman who would miss her as soon as she met?

With a lost smile, Laishun turned his head and just wanted to continue wandering around, but who would have thought that there was no sound in front of him, and there was another thin and tall woman!

"who?!"

Laishun was startled, took a half step back and looked closely, but found that it was an acquaintance again - Qin Xian's wife Yang!
"You are..."

Laishun looked at the unlit candle in Yang's hand, and asked uncertainly, "Are you patrolling the night?"

Yang shi nodded awkwardly, but then shook his head vigorously.

This reaction made Laishun confused.

After a long while, I heard Yang Shi timidly say: "Back then you, didn't you say that you want, want..."

After all, she is not the temperament of Si Qi.

When things came to an end, they shrank a little.

However, from the stammering words, Laishun could barely hear her intention.

Thinking about the Mingyan he just saw, he immediately said: "Actually, I was looking for an opportunity to chat with you - you said last time you wanted to go back and think about it, but it's been more than three months. "

Yang shi gave him a timid look, and argued with intent: If you hadn't come to be in charge to leak the rumors and let Pan Youan see the clue, why would it have been delayed for so long?
But when the words came to his mouth, the lilac uvula seemed to be in a knot. After brewing for a long time, he just squeezed out a sentence: "I-I now want to understand."

Saying that, she lowered her head timidly, pinching the corner of her clothes and daring not to look smooth.

tsk~
She doesn't behave like a woman, but like a girl in her boudoir who wants to leave the cabinet!
Laishunyin looked at her curiously again, and found that she had also put on some rouge gouache—who should apply the rouge gouache this evening?
Thinking about it again, she seems to be looking for her specifically...

When you come to your heart's content, something strange happens.

Shouldn't...

I just shattered a self-indulgent fantasy, so this is another ready-made counter-example, right?
However, Si Qi also came to the door directly.

Or maybe...

Is this the 'habit' of their Qin family?
If that's the case, then I'll save myself from thinking about it and grasping the shortcomings of her handle.

Besides, there is no reason to let this one come to you by yourself?

Thinking of this, Laishun tentatively stretched out his hand slowly, grabbed her slightly trembling catkin, and said with a smile, "What do you want to understand?"

Yang's trembling became even more severe, but until Laishun successfully grabbed her cold little hand, she had no intention of dodging.

Laishun tried to pull back again, and Yang threw himself into his arms obediently, put his head on his shoulder, and his body was soft and muddy.

Is this still worth trying?
Laishun went straight to her and asked, "Do you know any good places to go around here?"

After a pause, he hurriedly added: "It's better to have a heater!"

"Know, know."

In fact, the Yang family had already made a plan, and seeing each other's 'understanding' at this time, he also got a little bit of courage, and murmured: "There is a glass-topped warm pavilion nearby, and it is full of flowers and plants, but it is clean at night. tight."

Laishun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly rushed to the warm pavilion.

Because the warm pavilion is covered with glass, it is surrounded by pink walls and high walls, and all kinds of exotic plants are hung in the air, so there is no possibility that light will leak out.

By the way, I ordered Yang to light a candle. Although it is not as bright and bright in the daytime, it can be seen when it is close.

The two of them had nothing to say, just in the candlelight under the starry sky and the moon, they had a different dream in the same bed.

…………

Yang's original plan was that when the two shifts were more than halfway, they would be able to 'work out and fly separately' and pretend that nothing happened.

Who knows that after the third watch, he is still soft in Laishun's arms, unable to raise any strength.

So I had to change the plan, prepare to take a nap, and then go our separate ways.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yun Ban knocked four times in a row when he heard the rumor from the second door.

Yang's expression changed suddenly, and he didn't know where the strength came from, Yi Gulu Nian climbed up from his arms, hurriedly picked up the coat, and put it on his body.

"It's the fourth watch so soon?"

Lai Shun muttered suspiciously.

"It's not a sounder!"

However, he heard Yang shi hurriedly said: "This, this is the cloud board for mourning, it must be that someone important in the house has died!"
