"For today's matter, I am fortunate to have Mr. Ren's help, otherwise I am afraid that I will lose two chefs in Zuixianlou!" Seeing Hongxiu's agreement, Qiao Zizhang no longer stubborn, Master Qiao changed his mind and thanked Ren Yue for the topic.
"It's nothing to worry about? I just think that Chef Lou of Chengfuji will not let it go. Master Qiao still needs to make a long-term plan in advance to prepare for a perfect plan!" Ren Yue waved his hand casually, and responded lightly. road.
"Shopkeeper Li, keep an eye on Zuixianlou for the past few days and wait for me to take care of it." After saying that, Mr. Qiao got away and left, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the teary-eyed Red Sleeve again.
"Well, go back and tidy up, and move to Zizhang's room tomorrow! Get familiar with the diet and daily life of taking care of Zizhang earlier, so as to prepare for serving the young lady in the main room in the future." Master Qiao said slowly to Hongxiu.
"Thank you, Master Qiao." Hong Xiu bowed her body, but didn't dare to raise her head again.
Seeing her precious daughter, although she is not a lady of a rich family, she is also a jewel in the palm of her hand; marriage is obviously a major event in a lifetime, but it is arranged so simply. There is no betrothal gift, no guard of honor, no firecrackers, no music and dance, no festive auspicious blessings, no red hijab and bridal sedan chair, just relying on the owner's simple words, "Clean up and move in!" Shopkeeper Li's heart ached for a moment. .
So what can I do
At first, seeing that Master Zizhang was kind to Hongxiu, he thought that Hongxiu's blessing was not far away; but he didn't know that this sudden "blessing" was so meager!
"Don't worry, Hongxiu was also raised by me, so I can't treat her badly!" Master Qiao turned around, patted shopkeeper Li's shoulder lightly, and sighed.
"It's Hongxiu's blessing that the boss loves you. I don't have anything to worry about as a father!" Shopkeeper Li said with a forced smile.
Master Qiao left, and then shopkeeper Li left. Hongxiu looked at Qiao Zizhang reluctantly, and slowly separated his hands temporarily. It's disturbing to watch.
Wenrou just felt that his throat was choking terribly, the sudden good news turned into sudden coldness, Wenrou only felt that his mind was blank, even whiter than the white clothes on Ren Yue's body.
"Father. I'm not feeling well. I'm going home to rest first." Gentle evaded.
"Alright, I've been tossing and tossing for a long time, you go back first, I'll tell Chef Tang about dinner and I'll be back." Wen Shouzheng agreed.
"I'll see you off!" Ren Yue was worried, and followed out immediately.
"Don't talk to your mother about what happened today after you go back, I'm afraid she'll be worried!" Walking to the door, Wen Shouzheng warned.
At dusk, Wen's small courtyard was quiet and warm.
Ren Yue didn't ride a horse today, but walked slowly with Wen Rou.
At first it was tandem. At some point, Ren Yue slowed down, and then walked side by side with Gentle, who bowed his head and said nothing.
"Still worried about what happened at noon?" Ren Yue asked casually.
"Yeah." Rourou responded softly, and fell into deep thought again.
Actually, the scene at noon. Although she was stunned at the time, she still didn't take it to heart after all. The look in Hongxiu's eyes and Qiao Zizhang's begging have always echoed in her mind, lingering.
"These days, don't go out alone by yourself. Be careful in everything!" Ren Yue warned.
"En." Gentle replied simply again.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing the gentle and thoughtful look, Ren Yue guessed that it was definitely not something that happened at noon today.
"You said, will sister Hongxiu be happy?" Gentle raised a pair of clear and pure eyes.
"No." Ren Yue replied simply.
"Why? Didn't Master Qiao already agree with her to be with Master Zizhang?" Wen Wen was stunned.
"Hehe, I admire Brother Zizhang's actions today, but it's a pity..." Ren Yue paused.
"What's the pity?" Gentle asked.
"It's a pity that I didn't succeed in the fight after all. After all, Miss Hongxiu is still a housemaid. Even if she gets promoted in the future, she is just a concubine! She has no status, status, or self-esteem. The main wife who came in may have other aunts. I'm afraid it will be hard to live without master or servant!" Ren Yue sighed softly.
"Yeah, it's not the best policy to compromise! You can only blame the distant door that day!" Rourou let out a long breath.
"You girl, why are you sighing! It's not that you want to be a housemaid!" Ren Yue turned his face to the side and smiled slightly.
"I sigh that fate tricks people!" Gentle sighed again.
"Fate tricks people? Hmph, that's all bluffing! If you don't give in, you won't compromise! As long as it's what you like, you must fight for it! If I were Brother Zizhang today, I would definitely pull on my red sleeves and fly away!" Ren Yueyang Looking at the golden patch of sky, although Kong Yuan's voice was faint, it seemed to reverberate powerfully in the distance where the sky and the earth meet.
"Fly away? Are you crazy? Don't want your parents? Don't want fame? Don't want to have a future? What do you eat? What do you drink? Where do you live? You read poetry and books on weekdays. Why do you act so recklessly?" Gentle sighed.
"Hehe, that's why I'm not brother Zizhang. I have a brother who can be loyal and filial for me. I have talent and learning to live on. Fame? Future? It's just something invisible and intangible. It's so empty! It's nothing like the mountains and rivers. Relaxed and comfortable? If I had one person, I would love my whole life, love my whole life alone, so what if I win the world? If I lose my loved one, everything will be empty talk!" Ren Yue held his hand up to the sky, and his wide and white sleeves hung down casually. Beside him, the evening wind was blowing faintly, as if he was extremely tall and towering above the sky.
He is still the desperate Ren Yue in his previous life, even if there is no crisis in front of him, the unruly and persistent in his heart are after all born with him!
Gentle sighed from the bottom of her heart, a thick warmth and happiness slowly rose up, wrapping her scarred heart tightly, tightly.
"Gulu." A voice reverberating from the stomach and intestines funnyly broke the atmosphere of the pleasant conversation between the two.
"Your?" Ren Yue slightly raised the corner of his mouth and asked slyly.
"Hey! It's clearly yours!" Gentle touched her stomach, reacted for a while, and then suddenly realized.
"Oh, my patronage saved someone out of danger at noon today, and I haven't had lunch yet! At this time, I'm afraid it will be served with dinner! I just don't know where to go for today's dinner!" Ren Yue didn't admit it, just looked up Looking at the sunset glow in the sky, he said sourly to himself.
"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for saving your life. If you don't mind, why don't you go to the little girl's house for a light meal?" Rourou immediately understood and said with a mischievous smile.
"Well, Rou'er is inviting me?" Ren Yue said solemnly.
"Come on less! It's Miss Wen!" Rourou realized that she had been teased. After a while of laughing and chasing each other, the two arrived in front of Wen's house in a blink of an eye.
In the kitchen, she shook the apron gently and swiftly, twisted it around her waist, and outlined a slender and soft waistline.
Familiar with washing rice and vegetables, he immediately and naturally took off the knife sheath on his waist.
"Let me help you." A voice as distant as the broken jade in the empty mountain sounded from behind.
Wen Rou turned around, only to see Ren Yue dressed in white, standing in front of her like a fairy.
"Who told you to come in? Go back and wait for the ready-made ones! My father and Uncle Cai will be back soon!" Gentle urged.
"You can't do it alone." Ren Yue said no, and still stayed where he was.
"You are dressed in white, the kitchen is greasy. If it gets dirty, it will be troublesome to wash!" Gentle frowned.
"It's okay, I have Xiao Anzi!" Ren Yue smiled wickedly, and approached slowly.
"Dare to love you, young master, you really want to reach out!" Rourou murmured.
"That's why I don't need food to open my mouth!" Ren Yue immediately answered.
"Okay, okay. I'm afraid of you, you go to wash the vegetables, you can't do anything else!" Rourou pursed her lips, thinking of Ren Yue's handsome appearance in white clothes on weekdays, she pointed casually, Send Ren Yue to the sink.
"Who said I can't! Sheng Yaoshan helped you make fish porridge that day. I can do it just by ordering a piece of fish!" Ren Yue refused to accept it, and immediately put his hands on his waist, trying to draw out a soft sword with a silver belt.
"Oh, I forgot if you didn't tell me, you martial arts practitioners are also half-cooks. Hahahaha!" With a gentle and straightforward smile, Ren Yue felt a little embarrassed for a while.
"You wash the vegetables, I'll do the work! Chef Liu told me that his magic weapon needs to be used every day!" Rourou restrained her smile, and turned to face the cutting board. He took out the black iron kitchen knife in the knife case, and was about to raise the knife!
"Ah!" Suddenly, Wen Rou exclaimed!
"What happened? Did you cut off your hand?" Ren Yue was nervous for a while, and rushed over, took the hand that was tenderly performing the knife, and held it in his own hand to watch carefully.
everything is fine!
"Knife! Knife!" Wenrou pointed to the "black iron kitchen knife" on the cutting board in astonishment, shaking her head constantly.
"Knife?" Ren Yue was surprised, and hurriedly took the "black iron kitchen knife".
I saw that the kitchen knife was no longer the shiny silver it used to be, it was gray-faced, with a blunt blade, and an old handle, just like an ordinary old knife that could no longer be ordinary!
"No, absolutely not. I've been using Chef Liu's dark iron kitchen knife, how could it be so blunt? This... what should I do!" Rourou was on the verge of crying!
"Oops, this knife has been swapped!" Ren Yue carefully inspected the rusty and blunt kitchen knife, and suddenly seemed to remember something.
At noon today, in the front hall of Chengfuji, those people who made a fuss originally wanted to use a gentle black iron kitchen knife as a colorful head, but they were stopped by the chef on the floor, and then the black iron kitchen knife was handed over to someone else. , and then handed it back to Wenrou, could it be that in the process of taking and returning, someone quickly dropped the bag!
It must be so right! At the back door of Cheng Fu Ji that day, Ren Yue clearly remembered the dirty deal between Chef Lou and Fan Jian.
Fan Jian took Wenrou's dark iron kitchen knife to Chef Lou, and Chef Lou handed Wenrou to Fan Jian. He never thought that Hongxiu came later, and Fan Jian's lust turned to Hongxiu again...
Yes, it must have been at that time! In this way, the black iron kitchen knife is not elsewhere at this moment, it must be in the hands of the chef on the floor!
Ren Yue guessed accurately.
"I know where the kitchen knife is, wait for me!" Ren Yueqing easily opened his gentle little hand, and disappeared at the door of Wen's house as if flying.
At this time, Gentle felt that her hand had been in Ren Yue's just now, and that cold feeling was only felt in Ren Yue's hand!
