good meal

Chapter 354
But Madam Du is much better now, at least she is no longer as random as she was before, and the other maids are all governors, so she doesn't need to keep an eye on her all the time, I'm a little relieved to think about it.

As for the other servants in the mansion, it is even more worry-free, they never cause trouble, unlike in the Wang Mansion, just the Ma Si family's coming to my yard caused a lot of trouble.Now the cleanliness is clean, but Chu Liangrao feels that it seems a lot more monotonous.

Although in the palace, one has to be on guard all the time, guarding against Gu's fellow, but now that there is no way to fight Gu's, Chu Liangrao feels too idle.

It's no wonder she is like this. If there are so many entertainment items in modern times, why can't I find entertainment?But now, apart from reading and practicing calligraphy, all she can play is chess and mahjong, and mahjong is temporarily put down because of prenatal education.

In this way, Chu Liangrao was even more boring. Looking back on the past, he felt that the Gu family still had merit.

Of course, Chu Liangrao also knew that Mrs. Gu was "unwell" now, so naturally she couldn't fight her across the house. She thought, it would be great if Chu Chaoyang could come to play chess with her.

However, after waiting for two days, Chu Chaoyang still did not come.

Chu Liangrao simply called Ding Er over and asked what Chu Chaoyang was up to.

It turned out to be the matter of the fireworks on New Year's Eve. This matter has so many implications, how easy is it to investigate thoroughly?However, some officials "tactfully" recommended Chu Chaoyang, saying that the prince had a lot of leisure time, and this matter was the best way to build up his prestige.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a thankless job, not to mention offending many people, and it takes time and energy.

Knowing this, Chu Liangrao understood that Chu Chaoyang might have to spend a while on this matter.Looking at Ding Er, she asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ding Er lowered his face and replied: "My lord, tell me, don't let the princess bother about this..."

Chu Liangrao couldn't help being dumbfounded. She believed in her father's ability. Although this matter looked complicated, if Chu Chaoyang got involved, it would only be a matter of time before a thorough investigation was made. If that was the case, then what trouble would she have to spend? After all, she was just a woman People, even if she wanted to get involved in official affairs, she couldn't get involved.

But she also understood Chu Chaoyang's good intentions, nodded, and said, "Go down."

After Ding Er left, Mother Du came in again with a small casserole and said, "Princess, today is mushroom and pigeon soup." She opened the lid, and a strong fragrance came out.

Using a small spoon to scoop the soup into a small bowl, Mama Du handed it to Chu Liangrao.

Although it is just a soup, the points that need to be paid attention to should not be ignored. Because the squab is not big, you can't add more water, otherwise the soup will not be thick.And the heat also needs to be paid attention to. After the fire is boiled, it is boiled on a low heat. After an hour, add the soaked mushrooms and wolfberries and cook for another quarter of an hour. If the time is long, the pigeon meat will melt.

After stirring with a spoon, Chu Liangrao took a sip, put down the spoon and asked, "Who made this soup today?"

"It's stewed by Ma Si's." Mother Du replied, seeing that Chu Liangrao stopped drinking, she asked again, "But this soup is not suitable?"

Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, and said, "There is no salty taste."

Du Mama looked puzzled and said: "It shouldn't be, Ma Si's family is very caring on weekdays, how could they forget this today." Then, she picked up the bowl and took a sip under Chu Liangrao's signal. There was really no taste of salt, so I immediately put the things on the tray again, "Princess, mother, go and talk to Ma Sijia."

Chu Liangrao warned: "Mom doesn't need to blame, just ask what's going on first."

In fact, Chu Liangrao didn't intend to pursue the fault, but the Ma Sijia, who is usually the most cautious, would make such a mistake carelessly. Chu Liangrao felt that something happened to her.

Mother Du went to the kitchen for a while, and when she came back, she said to Chu Liangrao: "The soup is indeed stewed by Ma Si's family, but Zhu'er watched the heat. This girl is always careless. I reminded her to add salt, but she still forgot."

"Pearl?" Chu Liangrao recalled what Ding Xiang said. Could it be that Zhu'er was really influenced by Ding Er?

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao called Ding Xiang over and whispered an explanation.

Ding Xiang listened to Chu Liangrao's instructions, although she had expected it in her heart, she still couldn't help showing a look of surprise. She thought that Zhu'er was the youngest among them, so she wouldn't fall in love so early.But since Chu Liangrao asked her to ask, she should just go and have a chat.

After staying by Chu Liangrao's side for so long, Zhu'er is not stupid, so Ding Xiang came to her and figured out why.

Ding Xiang looked at Zhu'er's listless look, reached out and patted her on the back, and said, "The Princess didn't blame you, please stop doing this, it's not good for people to see." Seeing no one was around, she lowered her head again The voice said, "Tell me honestly, are you treating Ding Er... eh?"

"What did you say?" Zhu'er blushed and said, "What does it have to do with Ding Er?"

"Don't hide it, you, you can't hide what's on your mind the most, if you want to put it on the face." Ding Xiang pointed at Zhu'er's forehead and said, "Look at your appearance, even the blind can see it There is something wrong, you were still jumping around a few days ago, and you look like a beaten eggplant when Ding Er comes here these days, can you make people not worry?"

Zhu'er was taken aback, touched her face and asked, "Is it so obvious?" Seeing Ding Xiang nodding, she made a face that was about to cry and said, "I really have nothing to do with him, I just didn't sleep well today. I will make a mistake, and I won’t do it on weekdays.”

"Don't worry, don't worry, if there is something, the Princess will not blame you." Ding Xiang comforted, "Do you really mean it?"

Looking at Lilac, Zhu'er turned her head into a rattle, and said: "How dare I be a servant all by myself?"

"Don't dare, or not?" Ding Xiang asked.

"Sister, stop asking." Zhu'er drooped her shoulders and said, "This servant has already realized his mistake."

Seeing that Zhu'er was avoiding it blindly, Ding Xiang simply made a ruthless move: "Since you don't say anything, let the princess ask Ding Er to see what he means."

Zhu'er was dumbfounded. Seeing that Ding Xiang didn't seem to be lying, she hurriedly grabbed her and said, "What do you want him to do? Isn't there a lot of things going on? If you tell the princess, the servant will never talk to you again." .”

"Okay, don't look for it, don't look for it." Ding Xiang replied helplessly, then held Zhu'er's hand and said, "However, Zhu'er, you should know that the princess is good to people. If you really want to, It's better to say it earlier, so as to save yourself from feeling uncomfortable in your heart."

"It's all over, I have something to do, you should go back quickly." Zhu'er urged.
