Chapter 48 Tao Yao's Status Is Precarious

She coughed lightly and changed the subject, "I'm hungry, please pass on the food."

"Yes." Xi'er replied, and was about to go out when she saw Dong'er walking in, followed by a few maids carrying food boxes.

"Madam, there is no need to pass on the meal, the Duke has ordered someone to bring it over." Dong'er said with a smile.

Tao Yao was taken aback, "What?"

Xi'er was also surprised.

The maids have taken out the food from the food box, put them on the table one by one, and reported the name of the dish, "eight treasure duck, steamed lotus leaf chicken, boiled shrimp, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, pork heart and lotus seed soup, abalone Cordyceps Flower Nourishing Soup,..."

After a while, the table was full of dishes.

In addition to various meat and soup foods, there are also various desserts.

Tao Yao was dumbfounded, but looking at the sumptuous delicacies on the table, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Ma'am, please use it slowly."

After the maids arranged the dishes, they withdrew.

As soon as they left, Tao Yao threw herself on the table and grabbed a chicken leg without hesitation.

Why is Lu Jiuyuan so thoughtful and considerate?
When she was hungry, food was brought to her immediately.

And tonight's meal is too rich.

"Why is the taste of this food different from what the cooks in Fuchu usually cook?"

After eating, she frowned suspiciously.

Xi'er hurriedly asked, "Is it delicious?"

"No." Tao Yao shook her head and swallowed the meat in her mouth, "It's too delicious."

Dong'er said with a smile: "Because the dishes tonight are not made by the chef in the mansion, but are specially ordered by the Duke to order from outside."

Tao Yao was taken aback, "Did you order food from outside?"

"Yeah." Dong'er nodded, "When Wuze's guards brought it over just now, they told the servants that this dish was ordered at Yipinlou."

"Yipinlou?" Tao Yao was stunned.

She vaguely heard Tao Shu mention this grade building.

It is said to be the best restaurant in the capital, and the cook inside is an imperial cook who retired from the palace.

However, the food is very expensive. An ordinary table of dishes costs thousands of taels of silver.

But even so, Yipin Building is still full of people, and ordinary people can't book a seat even if they have money.

The aristocrats in Beijing are even more proud of having banquets in Yipinlou.

So, the dishes she ate tonight are from Yipinlou?

No wonder it's so delicious, it's all piled up with money.

However, why did Lu Jiuyuan order the dishes from Yipinlou for her?

He just came here, could it be that he actually wanted to have dinner with her?
Dong'er nodded, "Yes."

Tao Yao came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "By the way, is the Duke in the mansion?"

Dong'er shook her head, "Probably not here, the Duke left the mansion just after leaving here, it seems that he has an appointment with someone."

Tao Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Lu Jiuyuan had an appointment with someone else, he didn't intend to have dinner with her when he came here just now.

Seeing that the table was full of untouched dishes, she passed chopsticks to the two, "I can't finish this table of dishes, so you can eat together, don't waste it."

The two were flattered, shook their heads and said: "Thank you miss (Madam), slaves and maidservants must not break the rules."

Tao Yao was about to persuade her again, but at this moment, a small head popped in from outside the door, with black eyes, turning around, "Ninth Aunt, what are you eating? I heard it from all the way. Arriving at the scent."

Tao Yao: "..."

"Seventh Young Master." Dong'er and Xi'er hurriedly saluted.

Lu Hao limped in and saw the table full of delicacies. He rubbed his butt and said aggrievedly, "Ninth Aunt, I'm in so much pain."

Tao Yao had already noticed his strange walking posture, but deliberately remained indifferent, and even gave him a sideways glance, "And then?"

"I should eat something delicious to comfort my wounded little heart." Lu Hao blinked his black eyes and said seriously.

Tao Yao: "..."

Lu Hao sniffed his nose, and his eyes lit up, "Why do I smell like Yipinlou's food?"

The corner of Tao Yao's mouth twitched, is this kid a dog, with such a sharp nose?

"Eat what you want." She gave him chopsticks.

"Thank you, Ninth Aunt." Lu Hao climbed onto the stool and knelt down.

Seeing this, Tao Yao frowned slightly, "Is the butt really blooming?"

Lu Hao took a duck leg for himself, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Well, in the afternoon, my father gave me a meal, 'stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots'."

Tao Yao laughed out loud, "Your father is really awesome."

"What is power?" Lu Hao asked curiously while gnawing on the duck leg.

"Uh, it means strength." Tao Yao said casually.

Lu Hao gnawed on the duck leg, and his eyes widened, "I've been beaten like this, Aunt Ninth, you still think my father is awesome? Why don't you sympathize with me? I'm so pitiful..."

Tao Yao coughed lightly, and said solemnly, "Little Lu Xiaohao, I deeply sympathize with what happened to you. Hey, this is my sympathy for you." Then, she poured him a bowl of pig heart soup.

Lu Hao put down the duck legs, picked up the bowl, and started drinking.

After drinking, he wiped his mouth and regained his former vigor, "Ninth Aunt is still good to me. When you grow old, I will be filial to you."

The corner of Tao Yao's mouth twitched.

After eating and drinking, Lu Hao took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth, and said mysteriously, "Ninth Aunt, in order to repay your hospitality, I will reveal a piece of news to you."

Tao Yao was already full at this time, she put down her chopsticks, leaned back on the chair to rest, and asked casually without raising her eyelids, "What's the news?"

"When I came to your yard just now, I made a detour to the Star Picking Hall and saw that old fellow Gu Changqing." Lu Hao said.

"Master Gu?" Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, "Master Gu is here?"

Lu Hao nodded, and said angrily: "I heard Gu Changqing tell Uncle Jiu that a new group of offended officials' wives came to Jiaofang, all of them were beautiful and graceful, and then my Uncle Jiu went out with him gone."

Tao Yao was taken aback, "Did you hear me right?"

Lu Hao had an insulted expression, "I have good ears and eyes, how could I hear it wrong? I heard it absolutely.

My Uncle Ninth must be in Jiaofang Division now, I am really worried for Aunt Ninth, if my Uncle Ninth falls in love with other girls outside and brings them back home, Aunt Ninth's status will be in jeopardy. "

Tao Yao: "..."

For some reason, she still felt that Lu Jiuyuan was not that kind of person.

"Maybe...he went there because he had some business to do."

Lu Hao frowned, shook his head and said, "Aunt Jiu, you are so naive, I know men best, and working in a place like Jiaofangsi is just an excuse.

Before, my father told my mother and me that he went to Tianxianglou because of business matters, but in the end, he almost brought a girl back home.

If my mother hadn't made trouble with him, my father's backyard would be bustling now. "

Tao Yao: "..."

"So Aunt Ninth, don't believe the man's nonsense, and you must watch over my Uncle Ninth." Lu Hao exhorted old-fashionedly.

Tao Yao: "..."
