"What's the matter with this rice?"
Gu Xiang asked those cooks, Gu Yi came up to touch curiously, "What's wrong with this rice?"
"This is not Yutian japonica rice at all. The tribute rice is long and snow-white. The color of this rice is yellowish, obviously it has been dropped by someone."
The cook hurriedly said: "Fifth Young Master, you can't say that! The rice is in the kitchen, and we look at it every day. How could it be dropped? You are young and don't understand. The rice looks yellowish now. When boiled, it becomes snow white."
Gu Xiang immediately understood what he was thinking.
Gu Huaijiang and his elder brothers were not at home, so the subordinates began to slack off. These cooks secretly sold the japonica rice in order to bully him for being "young and ignorant".
Coincidentally, Gu Xiang happened to know what this rice looked like when he was born.
"Impossible! I've seen japonica rice. It's white when it's not cooked. It's definitely not tribute rice!"
"Impossible! Fifth Young Master, this is Royal Rice!"
There was the chef with a hippie smile at the head, and the other two saw that Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were young and didn't know how to serve under orders, so they gained courage, "Yes, although the young master is the master, you can't wrong our servants without evidence!"
"You guys! It's clear that the tribute rice given by the emperor was stolen by you, and you still say that I wronged you?!"
The two sides couldn't stop arguing, and the women who worked in the kitchen surrounded them when they heard the movement, and they didn't dare to say who was right and who was wrong.
These cooks are in charge of the kitchen, and Gu Xiang and Gu Yi are the masters who don't care about things in the house. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and those who know about the tribute rice don't dare to speak rashly.
Gu Yi shouted: "Hurry up and ask the fourth brother to come and deal with this matter, if there is a thief in the house, it will be fine!"
There was no movement in the crowd, and the ladies looked at each other, but no one dared to move.
If you don't help the two sons, nothing will happen. If you help them to testify against these cooks, you will be retaliated and excluded in the kitchen.
After thinking about it, I can only hang it up high and watch the fun around.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi are sons of aristocratic families, they have never quarreled with the servants, they can't quarrel with these cooks at all, and even if they quarrel with blushes and thick necks, they can't gain the upper hand.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from outside the crowd.
"What happened?"
After reading the ledger, Yu Fu saw that the two of them had gone to the kitchen for a long time and hadn't returned, so he simply brought someone over to have a look, not wanting to see the scene of the quarrel as soon as he came.
Gu Xiangdao: "Didn't someone invite the fourth brother to come? Xiao Yufu, why are you here? You go back first, the scene here is not good, carefully dirty your ears."
Yu Fu said: "Fourth brother and Guan Shi went out to inspect Zhuangzi outside the city, and they won't be back before dark."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the crowd watching the excitement, "It's almost time for lunch, let these cooks have something to do, don't you mothers plan to cook for us?"
The women scattered immediately, and the cooks looked at each other, thinking that the phrase "something has happened" has a deep meaning.
The well-behaved and beautiful young lady said something that hurts my heart, but so what
No matter how powerful she was, she was only thirteen years old, but she was just a little girl who didn't understand anything.
The head cook still had a playful smile on his face, "Miss, we are fine, but the fifth and sixth sons insisted that we secretly changed the rice for the rice on the spur of the moment, how could we have the guts?"
He looked up to the sky, "Oh, what Miss said is true, it's time to make lunch, so let's go ahead and cook!"
After saying that, he turned his head and left, Yu Fu yelled softly, "I didn't let you go, who would dare to go?!"
Her voice was not loud, and her tone was not harsh, but the cooks had goose bumps all over their bodies, as if they had been immobilized, and they dared not move.
After a while, several people slowly turned around.
I saw Yufu smiling at them, calm and relaxed, not showing any anger.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi stood aside, and suddenly understood why others said that Yufu looked like Gu Huaijiang.
Don't be angry and prestige, with a natural momentum, it's hard not to be convinced.
Compared with her, they quarreled with a few cooks like shrews in the market, which was too self-deprecating.
Yu Fu walked to the basket of tribute rice with a smile, picked up a few and rubbed them on his fingertips, he had made up his mind, "What crime is it to steal the imperial gift, you, as servants of Gu Hou's mansion, should know .I can't remember clearly, why don't you-"
She pointed at the head cook, who suddenly couldn't smile, "Come and tell me about it."
There are many things bestowed by the imperial court in Guhou's mansion, and the lowest servants in the mansion know that stealing the imperial gifts according to the laws of Dongling is a capital offense.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the cook poked his neck and said, "Miss, the little one can't remember either. The little one wasn't a servant serving in the Marquis Gu's mansion, but he got it from Tianxiang Tower because the cooking was delicious. Besides, even if the little one really took the rice, wouldn't it be fine to return it? The mansion is now the fourth son in charge, so don't bother Miss to take care of it."
"you-"
Gu Yi was just angry and wanted to rush forward, this cook is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, saying that they are two young and ignorant, so naturally they don't pay attention to thirteen-year-old Yufu.
Yu Fu is someone they hold in their palms like a pearl, how can he be wronged by this guy? !
Gu Xiang stopped him and winked.
Yufu will find a way to solve it, it's better for them not to intervene.
