good meal

Chapter 3
"The old lady is already well. I had a bowl of three-bean soup in the morning and added a plate of crystal wax gourd balls." Mama Du replied, and then said, "The princess has a way, Mama Qiu said, the old lady In the past month, today is the most delicious food."

This three-bean soup is made from mung beans, red beans and barley. It can be boiled until the beans bloom. It is refreshing and refreshing. Chu Liangrao himself likes it very much.The fact that the people in the old lady's room can make this heat-relieving three-bean soup is the result of Chu Liangrao asking Mama Du to teach her experience.

Regardless of whether the old lady really has a big appetite, it is a good thing for Chu Liangrao, and it is also a convenience for Du Mama, who was originally isolated and helpless. Take today's incident as an example, if it were not for Chu Liangrao. She opened the way, how could she be so bold to seek the old lady's help.But in the final analysis, the old lady should care about her behavior of bypassing Chu Liangrao like this.

At this time, Mother Du was very hesitant about how to tell Chu Liangrao about this matter, and even felt a little regretful in her heart.As soon as I was old, I was so impulsive after being favored by the princess for two days. Even if I was doing it for Chu Liangrao's good, I should recognize my identity.I was negligent about this matter, if I kept a close eye on Xianghe's maid on weekdays, why would I...

Seeing Mama Du's embarrassment, Chu Liangrao couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with Mama, just speak up if you have anything to say." Mama Du knelt down before she could speak. She got up, but she heard Du's mother said in a deep voice, "Princess, the old lady learned that Xianghe was ill, and wanted her to go to the Zhuangzi outside to raise her well before coming back. Mother thought that Xiangju, a girl, has always taken care of Xianghe, so she suggested Let her go and accompany Xianghe, so that girl won't think about it."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao paused in the air with his outstretched hand, thought for a moment, and said in a colder voice: "Since it's grandma's decision, let's do it this way. It's cold on the ground, so mom should get up."

There wasn't too much blame, but Mother Du didn't breathe a sigh of relief, she just said: "It's my mother who violated the rules, please punish the princess."

"Mom also doesn't want me to get sick. How can I punish you if you think about me so much?" Chu Liangrao said, "Get up quickly."

After hearing this, Madam Du realized that Chu Liangrao is different now. You must know that she would be treated coldly for a few days even if she said Xiang He, so she stood up and didn't care to slap her on the knee She also said: "The old lady also said that she was worried that there would be no one to serve Miss in this room, and she said that she would send Qin'er and Hua'er before the tooth shop chooses a good person."

Chu Liangrao pondered for a while after hearing this, and said, "That's it."

Seeing that Chu Liangrao stopped talking, Madam Du stopped standing still, and bent over the mahogany carved eight-treasure screen before bending down to lightly brush the dust off her knees.When she was bending over, she suddenly had an idea, whether the Princess has already guessed the reason.After thinking about it, she felt that she was thinking too much, no matter what, Chu Liangrao was only a 13-year-old child, even if she knew things now, she wouldn't think about it.

It took me a lot of thought to make it look like I wanted to crowd out Xiang He, and it stands to reason that he wouldn't be guessed so lightly.

Mother Du was thinking like this, but she didn't know that Chu Liangrao on the other side of the screen was thinking a thousand times. Since Yaxing had been notified to give it away, it must be the result of Xianghe being sent to Zhuangzi without returning. He Hua'er is the two girls that the old lady valued in front of her eyes, what's the point of sending them to her room now?
Unable to guess the reason, Chu Liangrao could only make assumptions, but judging from the fact that Xianghe was sent away, it was obvious that Xianghe committed the crime.As for what it was, Chu Liangrao had no way of knowing, but the old lady's decisiveness made her judge that Xianghe's mistake should not be small. After all, she is a close servant girl, and it would be somewhat inappropriate to replace two of them at a time. Convenience.

Involuntarily, Chu Liangrao thought of the bowl of bird's nest yesterday, and her thoughts began to flow, the more she thought about it, the more surprised she became.You must know that every time the concubine delivers food, it is delivered by Xianghe. She also wondered before, is the concubine not afraid of making trouble?
At this moment, it seems that the princess should be unscrupulous, and Xianghe is just an insider or even an accomplice.

Thinking about it this way, all doubts were solved head-on, why Xianghe refused that bowl of bird's nest again and again, and why Xianghe fell ill in a short time.If this is the case, what exactly has the concubine added to the things she sent to her room for a long time?
Chu Liangrao's tableware is all made of silver, but as a modern person, she knows that silver cannot identify all toxic substances except that it will turn black when it reacts with substances such as sulfur.According to her understanding, some hormonal drugs can make people gain weight quickly.It stands to reason that such a thing would not exist in this era, but Chu Liangrao knew that he was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

After thinking through all this, Chu Liangrao broke out in a cold sweat, and then called someone in, intending to take a bath.

Ever since Chu Liangrao woke up, she never let anyone wait on her when she took a bath. Mother Du knew this, so she just left Xianglan to wait outside the door, and she was responsible for the departure of the two servant girls, Xianghe and Xiangju.

"Xianglan." Chu Liangrao called out, Xianglan hurried in, seeing that she hadn't undressed yet, she said, "Your maidservant, help you undress."

"No need, get some more cold water." Chu Liangrao said, checking the temperature of the water with his hand, Xianglan responded, and added water two more times, and Chu Liangrao let her back down when he felt it was appropriate.

Chu Liangrao, who was soaking in the bathtub, breathed a sigh of relief. His body was always sticky due to sweat, and he was getting better now. Fang closed his eyes, and heard a burst of crying outside, vaguely mixed with Du Mother's cursing and pleading to her disappeared in a moment.

Xianglan, who was waiting outside the bathroom, naturally also heard the cries, and recognized the two voices as Xianghe and Xiangju. Thinking of the look that Mama Du gave her in the morning, Xianglan was afraid for a while.He held his breath and listened to the inside. There was only the sound of water. It seemed that Mama Du had already gotten through with the princess, so she ignored it like this.

At this moment, Xianglan can already be sure that the current princess is no longer the one who was only close to Xianghe, and Mama Du is no longer the titular Mama Du in the past.

Standing in a daze, Xianglan heard the sounds outside again, one of them was Qin'er who had been coming to the princess's yard frequently these days.After a while, there was silence. Apart from the sound of water in the room, what Xianglan could hear more clearly was her own heartbeat.

After Chu Liangrao had bathed and it was time to set the meal, Qin'er and Hua'er who just came took over the matter naturally. Chu Liangrao didn't use much, although these were all sent from the big kitchen, they couldn't keep those who cared See stitches.Thinking of the small kitchen in the grandmother's house, Chu Liangrao secretly thought that he should also build a small kitchen, food safety is very important.
