Chapter 51

Camellia Dujuan didn't want Xu Xiaofu to go at first, and said that he asked the general to come back to settle the matter, but Xu Xiaofu naturally refused, and walked towards the carriage shed of Xie's mansion with a big belly.Shan Cha looked at her, pulled Du Juan, and said: "Madam, let Du Juan wait here with you, I'll call the carriage over."

Xu Xiaofu was naturally happy, her stomach was really heavy, and she couldn't bear it after walking for a long time, so Du Juan helped her to sit down in the gazebo next to her, and Du Juan opened the paper fan she carried with her and shook it lightly.

Xu Xiaofu wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was really hot this day.

Sitting in the gazebo waiting for Camellia, Xie Qingxue was walking towards the gazebo with her maid, Bilian. Seeing Xu Xiaofu, Xie Qingxue hesitated for a while, and took Bilian to the gazebo.Seeing Xie Qingxue, Xu Xiaofu smiled at her, "Where is Qingxue going on such a hot day?"

Xie Qingxue sat down next to Xu Xiaofu, and said, "Go and see Xiaorui, by the way, sister-in-law... sister-in-law, are you going to give birth soon, and you still run around with such a big belly?" Xie Qingxue said, staring at Xu Xiaorui's round belly His stomach looked up, as if he wanted to go forward and touch it.

Xu Xiaofu stroked his stomach twice, and said with a smile: "Something happened in the restaurant, I'm going to check it out."

Xie Qingxue was startled, raised her head and asked, "What could happen to the restaurant? Those people are dying? Don't you know the relationship between the restaurant and the Xie family?"

Xu Xiaofu said: "I heard from shopkeeper Ma that something happened to Lord Cao in the restaurant, it seems that he was poisoned, but now there is no serious problem, but shopkeeper Niu was taken away by officials."

Xie Qingxue was taken aback, and looked at Xu Xiaofu in disbelief, "Prince Cao? How is it possible, although he is a little... arrogant, but he will never do such a shameful thing."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "I also think there may be a misunderstanding, so I plan to go over and see what's going on."

Xie Qingxue snorted, "You don't want to run around if you have such a big belly, you can deal with it when my elder brother comes back."

"No need, I think there should be nothing wrong." Xu Xiaofu insisted.

Soon Shan Cha drove over with the carriage, and Xu Xiaofu let Du Juan help him into the carriage.Xie Qingxue thought for a while, "Sister-in-law, I'll go and have a look too." After saying that, she also got into the carriage.

The carriage drove out of Xie's mansion all the way and headed towards the Four Seas Restaurant.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the Four Seas Restaurant. At the moment, the business of the restaurant was a bit slow, with only a few people in twos and threes.Camellia Dujuan helped Xu Xiaofu out, and the shopkeeper Ma, who had returned to Sihai Restaurant, hurriedly greeted him, "Young Madam, you are here, Prince Cao is still resting in the backyard wing."

Xie Qingxue also jumped down.

Shopkeeper Ma welcomed the two of them in, Xu Xiaofu went straight to the wing in the backyard, and saw a beautiful maid standing outside the wing, looking at Xu Xiaofu with a look of disdain. "Are you the proprietress of this restaurant? I heard that you are the wife of General Xie? That's all..."

Xu Xiaofu didn't feel anything, but Xie Qingxue was dissatisfied, she glared at the maid, and said to Bilian: "Bilian, go up and slap your mouth, it's fine if you meet the general's wife for being rude, but you dare to sneer at her."

Bilian responded, took two steps forward and slapped the maid on the face.The servant girl was taken aback, and stared at Xie Qingxue in disbelief, "What are you, you still hit me?"

Xie Qingxue snorted coldly, "Prince Cao actually raised such a silly maid, which shows what kind of prince Cao himself is. Get the hell out of here, what are you doing here!"

A deep voice came from the bed inside, "Meier, don't let me go."

The beautiful and flowery maid then resentfully stepped aside.

Shopkeeper Ma wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, opened the door, Xu Xiaofu and Xie Qingxue walked in.There were four basins of ice cubes placed in the four corners of the wing room, as soon as Xu Xiaofu entered the room, he felt a cool breeze blowing, very refreshing.She looked at the bed in the wing room, and saw a handsome man lying on the bed.

Xu Xiaofu was startled, that person is Prince Cao?She thought Prince Cao was an old man, or a middle-aged man, who knew he was such a young man, and he was really handsome, with a soft face, peach eyes, fair skin, red lips, tsk tsk, this man If it was a woman, I'm afraid she would be a goblin that would bring disaster to the country and the people, but it's a pity that she was cast as a boy.

Xu Xiaofu and Xie Qingxue looked at the handsome Prince Cao, and he just turned his head to look at Xu Xiaofu and Xie Qingxue.

Seeing Xu Xiaofu with a big belly, the man raised his eyebrows, "Pot belly? Are you Xie Duanyu's daughter-in-law?"

Xu Xiaofu nodded, and said to Lord Cao: "I've seen Lord Cao, is Lord Cao's health better now? I heard from the shopkeeper that Lord Cao was suddenly poisoned while eating in our restaurant?"

Prince Cao snorted, "What? Could it be that this prince will use his own poison to blackmail your little restaurant?"

Xie Qingxue looked at Prince Cao on the bed, snorted, and said, "Who knows if it's your own problem? It's not easy to know whether it's poisoned or not. Just serve the leftovers from the prince's food and test it." Yes, Shopkeeper Ma... Wait, I think we should go to the restaurant in front of us for an on-the-spot inspection. This way we can also repay the restaurant's innocence, otherwise anyone would dare to come to our Four Seas Restaurant to eat in the future."

Seeing the eloquent Xie Qingxue, Lord Cao smiled, and shouted to the beautiful maid outside the door, "Mei Er, come in and serve me."

The beautiful maid came in immediately and waited for Prince Cao to get up.Xu Xiaofu and Xie Qingxue avoided leaving the room.Xie Qingxue's face was full of disdain, and she said to Xu Xiaofu in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect Prince Cao to be such a person, and that maid named Meier is as beautiful as a flower, and she must have been with the prince long ago... What a waste of such a body .”

Xu Xiaofu said softly: "Qingxue, speak carefully."

Xie Qingxue snorted, "Even if he heard it, so what, I have heard that Prince Cao is very fond of beauty, and there are a bunch of concubines in the yard, it seems to be true, it is really a mess..." Xie Qingxue likes to be as upright as her elder brother The person I look down on the most is a man who is greedy for beauty like Prince Cao.

Prince Cao soon came out, dressed in brocade robes, with a slender figure, he was truly unparalleled in beauty.It's a pity that Xu Xiaofu and Xie Qingxue are not people who are interested in skins, Xie Qingxue raised her chin, "Prince Cao, please."

A group of people came to the front of the restaurant, and shopkeeper Ma asked someone to bring down the table of dishes that Prince Cao ate in the box on the second floor.He ate half of the dish, but he could clearly see what it was. Xu Xiaofu saw two of the dishes on the table at a glance, a mutton with cumin and a bamboo shoot with cold salad.

Xu Xiaofu's face darkened, and he said to the horse shopkeeper standing next to him: "Didn't I make a list of which foods can't be served together? Didn't I say that mutton and bamboo shoots can't be ordered together with guests? Why did I forget?" ? Why didn’t you remind the guests?”

The reason why Prince Cao was poisoned is quite simple, food can prevent poisoning.Many foods can interfere with each other, and generally there is no serious problem, but some can cause poisoning, and severe cases can cause death.But it also depends on the person. Some people will be fine after eating the food that is mutually restraining, while others will be poisoned.

Xu Xiaofu was afraid that such a situation would happen, so he sailed carefully, so he made a list of what foods could not be served at the same time. He did not expect the shopkeeper to be so confused.

Shopkeeper Ma broke out in cold sweat, glanced at Prince Cao who was leisurely beside him, and said to Xu Xiaofu: "Young Madam, I am wronged, I have already told the prince that these two dishes cannot be served at the same time, the prince insists, The old slave can't do anything about it." Xu Xiaofu only told them that light food cannot be served together, but he didn't say the reason.In addition, this is Lord Cao, the shopkeeper Ma didn't dare to refute at all, so he could only serve the dishes ordered by Lord Cao.

Lord Cao was taken aback, and touched his nose, "So what? Why can't they be eaten together if they are all food?"

Xu Xiaofu sighed secretly, and said to this handsome man: "To tell you the truth, there are certain foods that cannot be eaten together, serious cases will cause poisoning, this is the reason why Prince Cao was poisoned."

Prince Cao raised his eyebrows, "How is it possible? This is the first time this prince has heard of such a thing."

Xie Qingxue said: "If the prince doesn't believe it, why don't you eat these two foods together once and you will know. If you are poisoned, it means that my sister-in-law is right."

Prince Cao took a look at Xie Qingxue and said with a smile: "I don't know that this prince has offended this girl. This girl seems to dislike this prince very much."

Xie Qingxue snorted, and said: "A man should stand upright and serve the country and the people. How can he be intoxicated in the gentleness of the country, which is shameful."

Xu Xiaofu sighed secretly, this Qingxue was really influenced by General Xie.

Prince Cao was not angry either, he knew that this was probably the reason why he was poisoned this time. After all, once something happened, his subordinates had already checked all the food, and there was no problem, so what the woman with a big belly said must be right Bar.After Cao Zhan finished his memory, he looked up at the beautiful woman who was still staring at him, with the corners of his mouth raised.

This was originally a misunderstanding, Cao Zhan quickly let his men go down to the yamen, let the shopkeeper Niu out, and then left with the beautiful maid, who seemed to have glanced at Xie Qingxue when she left.

Shopkeeper Niu came back soon, and Xu Xiaofu told the two shopkeepers about some food taboos. No matter how customers order, all dishes are not allowed to be served at the same time. In addition, she also wrote a set of health recipes, which have been completed. It's almost there, and it will be promoted in restaurants in a few days.

Since it was a misunderstanding, the business of the restaurant resumed.

Xu Xiaofu and Xie Qingxue returned to Xie's house.

Unexpectedly, three days later, a matchmaker suddenly came to propose marriage, saying that she was proposing marriage for Prince Cao, and she fell in love with the third lady of the Xie family. After Xie Qingxue found out, she scolded Cao Zhan up and down in the room.

It was Camellia Dujuan who told Xu Xiaofu about this.

Xu Xiaofu smiled when she heard that, that day she noticed that Cao Zhan looked at Xie Qingxue in a wrong way.It's just that I don't know what people like Cao Zhan think about Qingxue. Even if he really likes Qingxue, just because of his messy backyard, Xie Qingxue would not agree to marry him.

Naturally, Bai's beloved daughter would not agree.

However, Cao Zhan became more frustrated and courageous, knowing that Xie Qingxue didn't like him, all the people who visited him all day were dismissed by the Bai family, and Qingxue was so angry that she didn't dare to go out during this time.

After more than a month, the weather gradually became less hot.Xu Xiaofu's belly was already falling, and he was about to give birth in a few days.
