Chapter 217 Concerns
The more I think about it, the more I feel a little moved. Ban Xia thinks about her like this, and she doesn't know how to repay her. Thinking of the time and energy spent on treating her illness in the valley, Ban Xia doesn't know what to say. .

She knew that what Ban Xia needed was not a word of gratitude, some gratitude needed to be buried in her heart.

Putting everything down, it was getting late outside, she thought about it or stood up and planned to go out.

Just when he walked to the door, Ban Xia came over with a food box in his hand.

Seeing Hua Xiaoqiao looking like she was about to go out, Ban Xia couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?"

Hua Xiaoqiao took the food box that Banxia handed over and glanced at Banxia: "I plan to come to see you, it doesn't mean that I will leave the cooking to me in the future. Living here is not for nothing."

She thought of Doctor Ye's serious face and felt that she had to do something.

Ban Xia laughed: "You don't understand my master. My master is a person with a cold mouth and a hot heart. You can stay here and cook. If we need to, we will tell you in advance. You can prepare lunch at noon tomorrow morning. Meal and dinner, master and I will be here all day tomorrow, as for the people below to prepare it tomorrow morning, master said that you are tired from the journey today and you fell down, so you don’t need to prepare dinner, you go eat it Just go to bed early, you need hot water, there is a stove here, you feel wronged to boil the water yourself, because the master doesn’t like women, so the yard is full of servants, and it’s a little inconvenient for you to be a girl, so you need to do a lot of things yourself .”

Hua Xiaoqiao really didn't expect that there was not even a maid in this yard, not even a mother-in-law, but she thought that she didn't come here to enjoy the blessings, even if she did something by herself, it would be fine.

After Ban Xia left, she went in with the food box.

The food box has three layers. On the top layer is a steamed fish. The bottom layer is a stack of side dishes. The last layer is a bowl of white rice. She smells it and thinks it tastes good, but it doesn’t taste that good. She understands I figured out why Banxia likes Aunt Liao's food so much. Although Aunt Liao's food is not very delicious, it is simply delicious compared to what I eat now.

All of a sudden, she thought that she had to make a good meal to feed Pinellia and Doctor Ye.

When I was hungry, I ate everything in the food box and felt that my stomach was full. I boiled hot water by myself, took a bath and went to sleep.

The next day I slept until I woke up naturally and looked at the sky and found that it was almost noon. Thinking of Ban Xia’s order yesterday, I thought to myself that I must not be late for cooking for the two on the first day. After putting on my clothes and washing up, I was in a hurry Went to the courtyard of Pinellia and Ye Shenyi.

Ban Xia just used her fingers yesterday, but when she walked today, she realized that there was a long distance.

Walking along the bluestone path to Godly Doctor Ye's courtyard, the first thing you see when you pass through the arch is a small pond, with green bamboos planted on the south wall and a lot of flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Originally, she thought that Godly Doctor Ye's courtyard was very large, but she didn't expect that the courtyard behind the arch was not very large.

She just walked to the door, Ban Xia, and came out of the house, seeing Hua Xiaoqiao's dazed look, hurried forward: "I was just looking forward to your coming, why did you come here now?"

She was very embarrassed, and felt a little embarrassed when she thought of oversleeping on the first day she came here: "Is it a little late since I fell asleep? Now."

As she spoke, she scratched her head, Ban Xia had never thought of complaining about Hua Xiaoqiao, and seeing Hua Xiaoqiao's current state, she was even more reluctant to complain a little bit.

"It's not too late, and Master just woke up not long ago. We traveled so far yesterday that we were a little tired. I'll take you to the dining room where the ingredients are ready. You can do whatever you want. Just tell me if you need anything. Boy, get ready."

Hua Xiaoqiao said that it has been so long since she came here, but she didn't see a single servant. It turned out that those servants were all in the outer courtyard. Thinking of staying here for a long time in the future, she couldn't help asking: "Where is this place?" Do all of your servants live outside?"

"Yes, they usually only come to the inner courtyard when cleaning regularly, and most of the time they will be in the outer courtyard. You can rest assured that your yard will not have any idle people waiting to come in after I told you. That yard will be yours from now on. Whatever you want."

Hua Xiaoqiao was very moved, she knew Ban Xia was also doing it for her own good.

"Thank you."

Ban Xia scratched her head in embarrassment: "Don't be so polite to me and treat this place as your home in the future, you don't have to be too rigid and you can say whatever you want."

Hua Xiaoqiao herself is not so restrained, she is still a person who likes to go with the situation, and she likes to do things as she encounters.

The dining room is not very big in an inconspicuous corner. She is curious whether there are dining rooms in the small courtyard here, and she can't help asking: "Isn't there a dining room here in Pinellia? How do I feel that every Are there any in the courtyard?”

Seeing that Hua Xiaoqiao misunderstood Ban Xia, she immediately explained: "Not every small courtyard here has a dining room, but only the courtyard where you live and ours. You know that Master likes to be quiet, so here On weekdays, if we just boil hot water and the like, we do it ourselves, and the servants outside are just doing some chores, so you can rest assured that the more you use in the yard, the more rigid you are."

It's not that Hua Xiaoqiao is afraid of meeting people, it's just that some things here are very strange. She thinks that Doctor Ye is really a very strange person.No matter what you do or what you do, it always makes people feel a little incomprehensible.

There was really everything in the dining room, and she found out that there were a lot of ingredients after she went in.

"Is everything prepared here in advance?" She asked Ban Xia in surprise.

Ban Xia nodded embarrassingly: "We don't know what you are going to cook, so we have prepared a little bit of everything, just don't pay too much attention to it."

Of course Hua Xiaoqiao doesn't mind, but she just thinks that so many ingredients will be wasted if they don't make delicious meals.

Banxia is afraid that Hua Xiaoqiao is not familiar with everything here, so she stays to light the fire. Unlike other men, Banxia feels that she has a higher status and status.

It was almost noon, and she counted the time and felt that if it was more difficult, she might not have enough time, so she casually prepared some simple meals.

Banxia has been by Hua Xiaoqiao's side all the time, watching Hua Xiaoqiao prepare meals makes her mouth water.

Can't help but praise; "Master will be very satisfied if he eats these things. You don't know that the dishes cooked by the servants in the mansion are really unpalatable. They are not as good as mine. Aunt Liao made them when I was in the valley. I am also very nostalgic about the meals.”

Thinking of eating well every day in the valley and living a solid life with Hua Xiaoqiao every day, it is not as good as it used to be.

The last thing Hua Xiaoqiao can see is Banxia's greedy look, she teased and said, "I will cook whatever you want in the future as long as I can do it for you, and when you go back, you can go to Aunt Liao, Liao My aunt often misses you too."

Ban Xia really wanted to go back, but when he thought of the reality, he could only shake his head helplessly: "I can't go back recently, I asked the master yesterday, the master said that he has been here for a while now, and if he wants to go back, he has to wait until it is warmer, I'm afraid You have to wait for several months, you can live here freely during this period, by the way, I see that your clothes are relatively thin, I have already ordered the people below to find a tailor to come and make clothes for you."

Hua Xiaoqiao was very surprised, but she didn't expect Banxia to observe so carefully. She really didn't have many clothes. When she left the palace before, she didn't bring any clothes because she was busy. In addition, the seasons here obviously need more clothes. It's colder than Tongzhou, and she didn't have time to buy it herself, so the clothes on her body are very thin now.

I am very grateful for everything Ban Xia has done for her: "Thank you."

Banxia smiled slightly and thought that as long as Hua Xiaoqiao could understand what he did, it would be fine.

She didn't see Miraculous Doctor Ye, she ate some food in the dining room, packed up and went back to her yard directly, she knew that Miraculous Doctor Ye didn't want to see her, and she didn't need to put her face on it, it wasn't Things she wants to do.

Back in her yard, she was bored looking at the flowers and plants growing in the yard.

Most of the flowers and plants planted here are common varieties, and the care is not very good. I didn’t look carefully yesterday and I didn’t see the problem. I observed carefully today that something went wrong. I always feel that the flowers and plants planted here are not very good. .

In the evening, she planned to go out to prepare meals for Doctor Ye, and it took a long time to get to the main entrance without anyone leading the way, probably because Ban Xia had already told her that when she wanted to go out, no one stopped her, and it went smoothly. Go out and walk along the street towards the bustling place.

After all, this is the capital of the Zhou Kingdom, there are many carriages and pedestrians coming and going, the streets are bustling and crowded, and the hawkers on both sides of the street are endlessly hawking.

Hua Xiaoqiao feels that everything here is fresh, because many of the things sold are different from those in Tongzhou City, and many things here look so fresh.

While walking, she looked at the things she liked, and always felt that everything was fun. After she calmed down, she found that she hadn't done this for a long time. She could do one thing with peace of mind and then appreciate the beauty around her.

She didn't know what her main purpose of coming here was, it was just because her own character was not suitable for being rigid in one place at all, so she liked the feeling of wandering around.

She asked a lot of people and found that there is no flower market like Tongzhou City here. The big families here like to grow flowers and plants by themselves, while the small ones will go directly to the flower garden outside the city to get flowers, but there is less profit from reselling in the middle. So flowers and plants are much cheaper.

The only thing she knew was this, time spent shopping was the fastest, and she couldn't go too far to go out of the city if she had to cook for Doctor Ye at night, so she could only go back home.

When she went back, Banxia was wandering outside her yard, and when she saw her come back, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward: "You are back anyway, I heard the boy said that you went out, but I was worried to death, you are not very good here. Familiar with the city outside, what if you get lost?"

In fact, he was worried about the world outside, and he was always worried that Hua Xiaoqiao would be in trouble now that it was in such a mess.

Hua Xiaoqiao felt a little guilty; "I forgot to tell you, I just want to go out and see if there is anything suitable for me to do. You also know that I am here to find something to do to make money."

Banxia still didn't want Hua Xiaoqiao to go around, and he felt that it was not easy for Hua Xiaoqiao to stick to her dream, so he persuaded: "If you really want to find something to do, I can help you find a job you want. What you want to do, you can go to the flower garden of a rich family to help, that way you will be more free and you can do what you like to do."

He thought Hua Xiaoqiao just wanted to grow flowers.

But as soon as such a proposal came out, Hua Xiaoqiao directly rejected it: "I didn't come here purely to grow flowers, I mainly came here to make money, okay?" Her own goal was to earn a lot of money.

Ban Xia scratched his head and couldn't help doing this every time he felt embarrassed, he knew it was a bit silly but he just couldn't help wanting to do it.

"Then can you tell me what you want to do?"

Hua Xiaoqiao shrugged and didn't hide anything: "Tomorrow, I want to go outside the city to see if there is anything suitable for me to do."

When Banxia heard that Hua Xiaoqiao was going to go outside the city, her heart that had been relieved immediately became worried: "Why do you want to go to a girl's house outside the city? If you have nothing to do, don't walk around. You also know that the recent period has been very uneven. You think it’s safe outside the city, some of those officers and soldiers are nothing, and everyone is panicking, who knows what will happen, I’m worried that you will know if you will be in danger when the time comes.”

Hua Xiaoqiao also knew that it was not safe outside, but she felt a little uncomfortable if she stayed here.

"In fact, I also want to find something to do by myself. If there is something suitable for me outside the city, I would like to try it outside the city, but I don't know where the flower garden outside the city is, and everything has to start again. If it wasn't for the Chu family, I wouldn't be in such a state of despair."

Sometimes she herself really hated the Chu family, especially Chu Lingxuan, if it wasn't for the fact that she was inferior to the Chu family, she would definitely fight back.

Banxia probably also knew about Hua Xiaoqiao and the Chu family, so she sympathized with Hua Xiaoqiao.

You don't have to be too persistent about some things. Speaking of which, these things the Chu family did are really annoying, and you don't have to worry too much. Judging from the current situation, the war between the two countries should end soon, and the rest I don't know how to tell you about the internal fighting, but I'd better tell you that you are familiar with Qin Mu. Qin Mu has now been escorted to Jinxiu City. "
