Liu Zhiyuan called back Liu Fu, who turned around and was about to leave. He closed his eyes slightly, rubbed his temples gently, and asked, "Is Wuji back?" After hearing Liu Fu's answer "No," he waved his hand.

Understanding, as soon as he stepped out of the door, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly asked from behind: "What do you think of this second mother?"

Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a moment, and then he made up his mind. He backed away, closed the door, walked in to Liu Zhiyuan, and whispered back: "If you want to reply to Erlang Jun, I'd like to express my gratitude to the two mothers of the Chen family."

He is smart, very knowledgeable, and very proficient in food. If he can be hired as a helper in Dexian House, maybe Dexian House will be able to reach a higher level." After Liu Fu finished speaking, he left.

He bowed his head and said nothing.

Liu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and tilted his head to look at Liu Fu, humming and laughing: "Well, you old coffin, in the eyes of Changxing, you have learned a lot in the past few years. Okay, I will do as you said. Suppose I invite the second mother.

If Dexian can get a step up the stairs by being a kitchen helper, then what if she becomes the chef? Wouldn’t it mean that she would skyrocket?”

Liu Fu still bowed his head and stood aside and said respectfully: "It's okay if Mr. Erlang thinks it's okay. We are just servants and we are not allowed to speak in a formal way. However, the two ladies of the Chen family are not from a famous family, nor have they ever been trained by any famous chef."

, If you rashly let Yi be the chef, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to convince the public.”

Liu Zhiyuan sat up, looked directly at Liu Fu, as if he could see through his mind, and said word by word: "Aren't you convinced even if you see me?"

Liu Fu still bowed his body respectfully and said without being humble or arrogant: "The people in Dexian Building all serve Erlangjun sincerely. It's just..."

"Just what? But it doesn't matter." Liu Zhiyuan turned his head and stared into Liu Fu's eyes, but asked a little aggressively.

Liu Fu gritted his teeth and said: "Erlangjun, I have told you that a servant must not discuss the master's family status casually. But I am Erlangjun's son. Since Erlangjun asked, I have to say,

If there is any offense, please forgive Erlangjun." Liu Zhiyuan nodded, and Liu Fu continued: "Erlangjun has clear rewards and punishments, and is fair in his work. In Changxing County, he is a man of his word. Who can

Not convinced? Don’t talk about the second wife of the Chen family being a helper. Even if she really becomes the chef, in my opinion, no one would object." After Liu Fu finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Liu Zhiyuan.

Liu Zhiyuan nodded slightly towards him and said, "Keep talking."

Liu Fu thought that Erlangjun knew what he was asking, but he had to admit it. He nodded and said bravely: "But to be a chef, you need Huating's approval. Erlangjun, if you don't have the approval of the eldest lady and the third mistress, Yi Zhi

If you can be a helper cook, you should not be a chef, a second husband, don't forget, there is also a first husband." Liu Fu finally made it clear and told the truth.

Liu Zhiyuan frowned slightly and said: "My brother has been accompanying the second prince in Qingzhou for a long time. I don't think he will ask much about my affairs. As for Qingzhu, why does the family need her to speak out? Does she think that my second brother doesn't exist or something?

?" Then he took out a letter and threw it on the table, saying: "I just received it this morning. Huh, it's very interesting. Oh, Liu Fu, you should also take a look." Seeing Liu Fu looking at it in surprise.

He looked at himself, smiled slightly, and said: "There is no harm between you and me."

After Liu Fu confessed his crime, he held the letter with both hands. After reading it at a glance, he thought to himself: "The letter came at the right time." However, he still put the letter back on the table calmly. Liu Zhiyuan

He glanced at it and asked, "How?"

Liu Fu replied: "Back to Mr. Erlang, the letter was written by the eldest lady. Yi Hua wanted to betroth the third young lady to the eldest husband of the Li family, but the third young lady was very tough and refused. The eldest lady therefore

I wrote a letter to ask Erlangjun what he meant, and he agreed to the marriage. On the surface, the letter was to ask about the third mistress, but in fact it was to urge Erlangjun to get married with Li Wenjun."

Liu Zhiyuan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the banana tree outside the door with a somewhat distant look. After a while, he said: "Yes, it seems that mother is asking me for my opinion on Qingzhu's marriage, but in fact she wants me to go back and meet the Li family as soon as possible."

We're getting married. Well, it's just because of Ding You that my mother had to use Qingzhu as an excuse. Liu Fu, in your opinion, how should I reply?"

Liu Fu said: "This matter is very easy. Mr. Erlang used a trick of dragging both ends. Mr. Erlang first replied to the eldest lady, saying only that it is still within the period of Ding You, so don't think about it for the time being.

Want it, don’t want it

I'm so worried. Also write another letter to the third mistress. I heard that the eldest lady wants to betroth you to the eldest husband of the Li family. I feel that the third mistress has managed the family very well since Alang was martyred and is not in a hurry.

Getting married means that you are opposed to the third mistress marrying too early. The third mistress is naturally unwilling to marry. In this case, Yi will remember your feelings and can help you at the critical moment. The most important thing is

Let the third mistress and the eldest mistress restrain each other, which will be advantageous to Mr. Erlang."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded slightly, took a scroll from the desk, and took out two letters from his arms, saying: "You are right, it is exactly what I wanted. I have already written the reply. You can do it for me."

I'll just send it. I haven't seen my mother for a while, and I miss her very much. This picture of Gu Zhu gathering friends was painted by me myself. Although the painting is a bit rough, it is still a piece of mine.

Please send it back with your thoughts. I hope my mother can forgive my child's unfilial piety."

Liu Fu took the letter and the scroll and saw that Liu Zhiyuan was really listless. He wondered why Erlangjun was so tired since he was no longer afraid of thunder. As he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but expressed concern: "Please forgive me for talking too much, Erlangjun. I

Seeing that Mr. Erlang is very tired, why don't I call Liu Lu to come and serve Mr. Erlang and take a nap."

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "I have been up all night, so naturally I am tired."

Liu Fu was taken aback and said in panic: "Ah?! How great is Ge Ke? I would like to ask Mr. Erlang to think more about his own health. I will call Liu Lu to come and serve Mr. Erlang."

Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "No, you go down first. Don't forget what I told you. You must do it well." After Liu Fu bowed and left the main room, Liu Zhiyuan leaned back on the chair.

His hands touched the purse he had been carrying close to his body, and he kept stroking the word "Chen" embroidered on it. He sighed slightly and whispered to himself: "Who is Nini? Why do you keep calling her?" Liu Zhiyuan

As he spoke, a trace of jealousy surged in his heart.

At this time, Chen Bing, who was sitting in the carriage, sneezed twice, but she didn't take it seriously. She was in a good mood now. Not only did the case make progress, but today's meal was the first time she came to this big place.

It was the most sumptuous meal she had eaten since the Chu Dynasty. She patted her belly lightly with satisfaction and laughed softly: "Belly, belly, I haven't eaten even a little bit of oil and water in the past six months. I'll let you eat it today."

Now that you are full, you should be satisfied, hehe."

But then I thought about it, my mother has been feeling a little unwell these past few days, and it is very hard for my father to travel to Taihu Lake every day. My brother has to work in the fields, and he has lost a lot of weight. Although he does not have much contact with the East House,

But the affection is still there. The third brother and the fourth brother are not very old and are still growing up. Even though Weng Weng and mother-in-law look down on him, they are still his closest relatives after all.

Therefore, Chen Bing felt very uneasy. She unconsciously touched the money she had brought with her with her left hand, and thought to herself: "Fortunately, when I went out yesterday, I brought a money with me in the west courtyard for emergencies. Why not buy some food in the city and take it back?"

Make something good and have a good meal for the whole family, so that my mother, who is very exhausted, can have a good meal. If you ask, just say that these ingredients were given by the big devil in Dexian Tower."

Thinking of this, Chen Bing opened the curtain and saw that he was still in the city, and asked Liu San, "Liu San, is there a butcher shop selling meat in front of here?"

Liu San didn't know why Chen Bing asked this question, so he replied: "Back to my dear wife, there happens to be a family in front of me. Do you want to buy meat? My dear, you are Erlangjun's distinguished guest. Tell me earlier."

Okay, I'll take you to Dexian Building first and just ask Shopkeeper Liu for some. Why do you need to buy it yourself?"

Chen Bing blushed and said hurriedly: "How can I make it? I can just buy it myself. Dexian Building is a place for business. It talks about making money. How can you just ask for it at will? Liu San, you are right in front."

Just stop in front of the store."

Liu San seemed to have other things on his mind. He said anxiously: "My dear lady, that's all. I'll send you back first, and I'll send the meat to the village for you before sunset today. What do you think?"

Chen Bing said, "How can it be done? I bought the meat and cooked it as soon as I got home. It's too late to catch the sunset. Please wait for a while. I'll go and come back." Liu San had no other choice, shaking his head and sighing.

, he had no choice but to stop the carriage in front of the shop. Chen Bing jumped out of the carriage and looked at the sliced ​​meat strips on the meat table. The meat was very fresh and seemed to be fresh.

Not long after the slaughter, Chen Bing picked out a piece of rib meat and a tube bone, and asked: "Seller, could you please calculate how much the meat and bones cost in total?"

The shopkeeper was waving a meat cleaver with his back to the meat table and chopping the pork bones vigorously. Hearing this, he threw the knife to the side and said to the apprentice next to him: "Come here!" Then he turned around, but it was

Chen Bing was stunned for a moment, and Chen Bing was also stunned when he saw it. They both said in unison: "So it's you." The butcher was Jia Si who helped Chen Bing clear the crowd in front of Deyilou that day.

Jia Si wiped his hands on his waist, and said happily: "The little lady has become a celebrity in Changxing County since that day. Everyone knows that the little lady outsmarted the evil servant of Yilou, and even made a mistake.

The red-tailed whitewater fish sold for five hundred guan, which is really amazing. Oh, by the way, my surname is Jia, and I am the fourth in the family, so everyone calls me Jia Si. I wonder what I call the little lady?"

Chen Bing smiled lightly and said: "My surname is Chen, and I am the second oldest child in my family. You can just call me Er Niang. You are older than me, so I will call you Fourth Brother Jia."

When Jia Si saw that she spoke openly and without any pretense, he secretly admired her and said, "Isn't it because Er Niang caught another red-tailed whitewater fish when she went to the city today? That would cause a sensation in the whole city."
