"Master, master, what a happy event!"
The old housekeeper said as soon as he came back. Su Huanli looked happy and asked, "Is it done?"
"It's done!"
The old butler clapped his hands and said, "Liu Yuanwai really likes delicious food, so he agreed immediately."
When Su Huanli heard this, he smiled coldly and said in a low voice: "Sending this dish to the restaurant will definitely bring huge profits. He was raised by Li Shanbao. If he doesn't agree, then there is something wrong!"
Speaking of this, Su Huanli couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that my Su family is in the cloth shop business, otherwise Li Wei wouldn't be able to make a lot of money easily."
Only then did the old housekeeper Yumu Nao realize that the master of the house had this intention. No wonder Li Wei agreed so readily.
"Master, that recipe..."
"You just take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and go find Erya." After Su Huanli said this, he frowned and said: "This matter is of great importance... That's all, you take her to the study and find a suitable excuse."
In the small courtyard, Su Li sat obediently basking in the sun, her eyes slightly closed, and she seemed to be asleep.
Suddenly, her ears twitched slightly, she opened her eyes, and gently covered the "Da Han Tong Zi" on the stone table with one hand.
As soon as he finished this step, the old housekeeper opened the door and walked in. When he saw the second young lady with her little face flushed from the sun, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Second young lady, the master is calling you to come to the study."
Su Li seemed to be frightened and stayed where she was. Butler Su continued to explain helplessly: "It's about the zongzi."
Su Li looked astonished, stood up, straightened her cotton-padded clothes, and ran into the kitchen with her long hair swaying, looking very lively.
The old housekeeper shook his head, his eyes suddenly fell on the exquisite book on the stone table, and his face immediately darkened.
"Grandpa Butler, I'm ready!"
Su Li walked out holding the basket, and saw the old housekeeper asking expressionlessly: "Second Miss, where did you steal this book? Was it from the eldest young master's study?"
Su Li's body trembled slightly, her face suddenly turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a tearful voice: "Grandpa Butler, I have never stolen anything. I didn't steal the Night Pearl."
The old housekeeper sighed. Unexpectedly, these words reminded the second young lady of the previous tragic experience. He couldn't help but soften his tone and said, "Tell Grandpa the housekeeper where this book came from."
"Eldest brother gave it to me." Su Li blinked, her eyes bright, "Eldest brother said he was leaving, and brought me the book to see things and think about people."
When the old housekeeper heard this, he sighed deeply. The phrase "seeing things and missing people" was definitely said by the eldest young master. The second young lady was illiterate, so it was impossible for her to say such a literate word.
"Grandpa the housekeeper misunderstood you." The old housekeeper touched Su Li's head tenderly, for fear of scaring her again, "But don't let me see you, he will be unhappy."
Su Li nodded, and then said in frustration: "Unfortunately, I don't recognize any of the paintings on it, and I don't know what brother meant by giving it to me."
The old housekeeper was stunned when he heard this and showed a thoughtful expression.
Is it possible that the eldest young master hopes that the female relatives in the family will be literate
At this time, Su Li took out another rice dumpling from the basket and handed it to the old housekeeper, and said with a silly smile: "Here, the housekeeper hasn't eaten the rice dumplings made by Erya yet!"
The old housekeeper came to his senses, pushed it away immediately, and said: "How can I eat such a precious thing, my slave? Second Miss, please keep it for yourself."
Su Li pursed her lips, then forced the rice dumpling into the old housekeeper's hand, and whispered: "This is a gift that Erya secretly left. Grandpa the housekeeper has worked so hard, what's wrong with eating just one rice dumpling?"
The old housekeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart, but he grinned widely and stuffed the rice dumpling into his arms.
Why hadn't he noticed that the second young lady was so considerate to this servant before? Even though he had scared her just now, this little girl didn't even care at all.
The third lady orders him around like a slave. Even if he does everything perfectly every time, she doesn't have a good word to say... It seems that in the future, he will have to think more about the second lady.
Secretly making up his mind, the old housekeeper saw the calligraphy on the stone table again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew what he was planning.
Just as Su Li and the old housekeeper left, the West Courtyard received news from Pearl. Zhu Yan sat on the bedside nervously, with cold sweat dripping from her forehead and panic in her eyes.
"Is it possible that the master discovered something?"
Zhu Yan's thoughts were swirling in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened and uneasy she felt. Apart from that incident, she could not think of any other reason for the old housekeeper to call Erya to the main courtyard alone.
"No, you can't mess up your position! What will happen to Zipei if I leave?"
Halfway through packing her luggage, Zhu Yan gritted her teeth, walked to the dressing table, opened the secret compartment under the table, fumbled for a moment, and took out a white jade pendant.
The quality of jade is a little warm and pure. Even a fool can see that this jade is extremely precious. The pattern on the jade pendant is incomplete at first glance. It seems to be the lower body of an animal. But Zhu Yan had been thinking about it for many years, but she still couldn't figure out what it was.
Zhu Yan stared at the jade pendant and calmed down after a while.
This piece of jade was exactly what she got from Erya when she picked it up.
She has never seen such a precious jade pendant. Erya's life experience must be extremely extraordinary, but she has also checked and found that there is not a single birthmark on that girl's body!
And Zipei also has no birthmark on her body!
