Chapter 236 Herbal Tea
"Oh? The second lady is really kind-hearted! She takes care of you so much!" After hearing this, Mu Liuyun glanced at the second lady Wu, "Not only how much money does the second lady give the cook? Is it enough for you?" Food for the family?"

Second Madam Wu didn't understand why Mu Liuyun started to inquire about these things, and looked at her with some doubts.

The cook lady was also at a loss, but how could she dare to gossip about my lord who didn't even dare to ask the second wife back, and quickly said truthfully: "My lord, my monthly money is consistent every month. Days, there will be some extra rewards."

"Hey, that's quite generous! You have a lot of money this month." Mu Liuyun boasted.

"Second Madam is indeed kind to me!" The cook could not let go of this opportunity to show her loyalty, and hurriedly said, "I have an in-laws who are over 70 years old in my family, and I have three children who need us to support. He's not too young, but he can't do any work other than studying and wanting to catch up with exams, and he's just waiting for food with his mouth open.

Outside my house is a woodcutter who cuts firewood. He can't transfer dozens of copper coins after exhausting himself all day long. If I didn't have cooking skills and could come out to be a cook, many members of our family would not Know if there is rice in the pot!

The second wife is still kind-hearted and knows the situation in my family, so she agreed not to hire another cook, but to find a helper to help me, and also gave me a monthly salary increase.

In the land of Yuyong County, meeting such a good boss as the second lady is also a blessing in my previous life! "

"You really have a grateful heart for what you said!" Mu Liuyun walked over with a smile, walked around the cook, looked at the cook, and stared at the cook in his heart Hairy, trembling uncontrollably.

"That's nature... that's nature..." The cook trembled cautiously.

Mu Liuyun snorted, and suddenly stretched out his hand to quickly pull out something from her bun, and spread his hand out in front of everyone: "I don't know that this second lady who has been so kind to you gives you a regular monthly salary. Is the money enough for you to make such a hairpin?"

The cook was taken aback, and her reaction was slow, she shrank her neck and hurriedly touched her bun. It seemed that the hairpin had been pulled out before she remembered to cover it with her hands, and at the same time, her flushed face changed color.

At this time, the others also saw clearly what Mu Liuyun was holding in his hand.

It was a small gold hairpin, the thickness of the chopsticks tip was very plain, without any tricks, it was just a small golden bean on the head, the gold was not of good quality, and it was held in the Hands are also light.

This kind of thing, needless to say, it is a king or grandson, even if it is an ordinary wealthy family, no wife or miss will look up to this kind of thing, at least there is no such thing on the head of the second lady sitting in the classroom now. Plain and tacky hairpin.

Although the hairpin on Mrs. Wu's head is not made of gold, it is indeed made of high-quality jade, and the carving is fine. Although it does not look eye-catching or gorgeous, it is very elegant, and it is far from the rough gold hairpin. very big.

Mu Liuyun's eyes quickly passed over Mrs. Wu's head, and then fell on Qiniang who was kneeling on the ground beside her.

The cook under the eyes of everyone was ashamed at the moment, her eyes rolled, and she probably wanted to find a reasonable reason for herself, but even such a golden hairpin was really too much for someone like her. It was so gorgeous and extravagant that it seemed difficult to find a reasonable explanation. She couldn't help being a little annoyed, hating herself for wearing it on her head for fear of being stolen.

After much deliberation, the cook didn't have a better idea, so she could only kneel down with a plop, "My lord, please spare me! Qiniang gave me that hairpin! She asked me for it before, so she gave me this hairpin." Golden hairpin, I was also confused for a while, I was obsessed with money, thinking that my family is so poor, I don't know if I can have a decent hairpin in my life, so I can't resist this temptation!"

When she said this, Qiniang, who was not very calm at first, also panicked, pointing at the cook, her willow eyebrows stood on end, with a look of shock and anger, but it's a pity that she said "you, you, you" for a long time, but she didn't say anything. Unable to find anything else to say, he fell on the ground with a thud, and began to cry "wrong".

"You said Qiniang wanted something from you? Then tell me, what exactly did she ask you for?" Mu Liuyun asked.

"Back to my lord, I was about to be busy with a lot of things for dinner that night. Before the stove was turned off, Qiniang went to find me and brought me a pack of medicinal materials, and asked me to make a pot of herbal tea for her after cooking. , and said that I was busy all day, and I was tired, so as a thank you, I pulled out a gold hairpin from my head and asked me not to tell the second lady about it.

I was confused at the time, and saw that the hairpin became greedy, so I took it away, made herbal tea for her, and sent it to her room after the guests were gone. After that, I never asked anyone else. that's it!
After all, Qiniang is the aunt in the mansion, and I'm just a cook. I will do what she wants me to do, and I can't control the rest, so what is she going to do? It's not something a servant like me can ask. Yes, I really don't know! "

"Medical materials? What kind of medicinal materials?" Yuan Mu ignored Qiniang who was shaking on the ground, and asked the cook.

The cook said: "I don't know any rare medicinal materials. The things in the paper bag look like fresh ginseng slices and some licorice. They are said to be boiled together. Boil five bowls of water into one bowl of water." And it was done."

Mrs. Wu frowned when she heard this: "Is this really the case? If I took some ginseng slices and licorice to make herbal tea, why would I go to find you secretly? Why should I give you a gold hairpin as a reward?"

"Ma'am, everything I said is true, and I definitely didn't intend to deceive you or these adults!" Seeing the hesitation and suspicion in the second lady's tone, the cook hurriedly said, "I have no grievances with Qiniang. No hatred, I don't need to lie to her!
Besides, if there is something obviously wrong with that thing, I can't help Qiniang cook it like that. If ordinary people don't see anything, then I, a cook, really can't see it. !I shouldn't, I shouldn't, that is, I shouldn't be greedy, and I shouldn't secretly agree to Qiniang's things like that. I should ask the second lady first, otherwise I'm really I have no evil intentions at all!
If Madam doesn't believe me, I actually have another way to prove that I have absolutely no bad intentions! "
